i ahve aswell and paid 600 for 360hz

[tribal dirge]

500 bucks for a 1440p 240Hz oled is pretty damn good

this one better

[ashen glen]

what abt curved, any downsides to those

[ashen spindle]

just preference but generally you only want curved if you go ultrawide

[lyric hatch]

as long as you have a big enough desk you can push it back further and have the exact same experience as a 27" - plus it's all relative there are players who have their face 10cm away from the screen and some that keep it an arms length+

[tribal dirge]

yeah usually I keep arms length and a half away from the screen when I play games

[lyric hatch]

people just get use to what they use before 27" became normal people were struggling to adapt from 24" because that was the norm for a long time

[tribal dirge]

also ngl, 32 inch 4k is so nice, very good for multitasking

[prisma island]

@sullen bear @umbral heron Did the memtest86, 1 ram failed with 10K plus errors, and 1 passed :D so that means theres 1 faulty ram and my MOBO and CPU are fine right?

[tribal dirge]

the errors follow the faulty RAM module when you swap slots as well?

[lunar elm]

test ram modules and isolate the slots

[prisma island]

what

[tribal dirge]

because if the error follows the RAM module, it is a RAM module fault, if the errors stay on the same channel but doesnt follow the RAM module, then its a motherboard/memory controller fault

[prisma island]

i was told it didnt really matter considering that the whole build is brand new lol, so its kinda hard to messup 1 socket

[prisma island]

i tested both RAM in the same slot

[tribal dirge]

so error follows the RAM module?

[prisma island]

1 failed seperately and then we connected the 2nd one in the same slot

and the 2nd one had no errors

[prisma island]

i didnt let my gf test her 4th ram slot since shes already pissed for some reason

so i skipped that

but ion think thats the issue

[tribal dirge]

I would like to say faulty RAM module then yeah

[prisma island]

before i ran both ram sticks at the same time and halfway through it would say the test failed on memtest so i think it finished 1 and the other had all the issues eitherway i got RMA/DOA rights so i told her to send the RAM back and just receive brand new ones

[prisma island]

yeah probs, i dont think the Mobo or the CPU is damaged considering i assembled the whole build carefully myself

could be RMA DOA

[tribal dirge]

you'll never truly know lmao, i've had brand new CPUs and motherboards come in non functional

[prisma island]

but its unlikely, she got high fps and no issues with other stuff other than ram related programs/functions considering the minidumps

[prisma island]

lol ofcours

it can still happen fs

same with ram being unlikely to be delivered faulty but yet here we are XD

i did test the CPU tho, temp was normal and performance aswell

no other issues w that

[tribal dirge]

AI

[ashen spindle]

Idk what Steve’s issue is tbh both AMD and Intel launched all they had for consumers and then have the extra talk about what investors want to hear.

Unlike nvidia where Jensen did only jerk off data center stuff ai for the entire keynote

[lunar elm]

intel presentation was nice, though they copied notes from nvidia’s 2024 presentation

lisa su copied jensen’s homework 1:1

[ashen spindle]

We saw mi455 which is cool and even zen6 sever which is a preview for client as well

[prisma island]

Maybe a weird question but is it fine to stop the testing of ram when it already passed 3/4 tests cuz its already been tested 3 times

My gf accidentally ended the testing but it shows literal dead zero errors, the other ram-stick had 3000 errors after every test out of the 4

[fair gull]

if you want a reference i usually tested ram with unlimited runs continually for 8hrs at my old job

[prisma island]

Yeah we not doin allat tbh

We did 4-5hours of running memtest

We just gna retour the ram sticks under DOA and seenif the new ones will work

[ashen spindle]

The longer the run the more accurate it is, a shorter one usually is usually fine if there’s a lot of issues like on the other stick

But generally if you don’t OC you don’t need to do overnight runs to check

[ashen spindle]

I mean he’s the guy from OpenAI so makes sense. But it’s also funny because you can see Lisa almost wants to cut him off and basically is like “sure I don’t believe what you say but keep buying and shilling our hardware”

You could see the same when Lisa took a shot at Microsoft when she said the npu is using a lot of space so you it better be useful

[analog sinew]

it makes sense but it's also just so insignificant. Everyone knows AI can make powerpoint slides

whyeven bring it up it is just pathetic

[ashen spindle]

Idk if that’s one point in the 200 blah blahs he says why focus on it

[analog sinew]

i just found it funny

[ashen spindle]

If anything it’s better than the shit videos they showed that were generated

At least the slide was seemingly accurate

Also someone just needs to tell people ces doesn’t stand for consumer anymore, they did do a rebrand last year it’s just the word CES now and not an abbreviation

[analog sinew]

they really did? lol

still doesnt change that people would expect it to be that lol

[ashen spindle]

Yeah I feel that’s fair for people but if you make content and talk about it you should be aware of it at least xD

Like people should still want consumer details but if the show changes you can’t solely blame it on the companies to adjust then

[topaz fog]

love the idiocracy clip

[prisma island]

I dont OC, rams are factory standard settings. And 1 run did 4x the test so i assume its accurate enough if u did 3 instead of 4 and it had 0 errors

And the other had 10k issues after 2 runs

[tacit leaf]

is windows 10 better than 11 or should i just switch to linux jwiqwjenwudieksns

[ashen spindle]

11 is mostly the same

[sullen bear]

Depends

Win11 has slightly better performance and hdr than win10, but the updates seem to be unstable, the latest one 25h2 seemed to add stutters to tarkov

I think linux is more stable with some games running betrer, but u cant run some games due to the anti cheat not allowing linux

[vapid ruin]

I mean, this reads like you just have installation of win 10, 11 and linux for different game.

[ashen spindle]

win10 will run out of support and you dont want to keep it connected to the internet with security issues just to have 2 fps more fortnite

thats why there isnt really a big reason to go to 10 if you arent on it and just want to wait till last moment to go to 11 or linux

[steady sail]

You either go with 11 or linux

the tr- series cases seem very cool. Love how compact they are

[tribal dirge]

MI455 is extremely impressive

so are the new Nvidia NVL72 full stack turnkey rack got all 6 of their chips refreshed which was unexpected to me.

GPU, CPU, NVLink Switch, NICs, DPUs, and Ethernet controllers were all refreshed

[ashen spindle]

"refreshed" is the keyword there

[tribal dirge]

yeah but they all compound with each other to give a pretty significant performance uplift compared to the previous NVL72 stack

which competitors are still trying to catch up to the GB200 stack

[ashen spindle]

I mean CX-9 for example does 800g just like cx-8 theres nothing new there

[tribal dirge]

thing is with CX8 is that it can only do 800G across 2 ethernet ports but CX9 can do it with just one

[thick elk]

Will say Gamers Nexus Steve does get on my nerves from time to time. He does good research and reviews but the way he talks about certain issues pretty cringe and griftery.

[tribal dirge]

if you just plug in one port to CX8 it can only do 400G

[ashen spindle]

yeah but you arent changing the connection in the rack really so it barely does anything

[tribal dirge]

yeah I guess

although the improvements in raw compute alone is impressive

[coral sapphire]

Question, what’s the difference between surge and grounded, and what is preferred if I’m just generally running my pc?

[boreal meteor]

lol thats not a selector switch. Thats an on/off switch that turns off the whole thing.
Theres LEDs next to "surge protection" and "ground protectection"

[coral sapphire]

Ur awesome, so what’s the difference between the two though? Will the LED just go on one?

[boreal meteor]

the LED for either will be one if its active. Surge protection is for power surges. Ground is if it detects if your curcuit is grounded or not

[alpine patio]

i mean i heard its literary just random ai stuff

and non consumer products

[lunar elm]

Because it was a AI datacenter shitshow

Like if im not wrong the most valid was from fkin Dell of all people

[fair gull]

ideally both

ground protection is the default of 3 pronged sockets

(if properly connected ofc)

[sullen bear]

Depending on the pc you should also check the max wattage on this haha

[prisma island]

Bro i changed out my whole pc into a new case and psu

Got damn its so quiet and clean now BUT

My pc wouldnt start up anymore i was mad stressing turned out the MB cable was not plugged in correctly 🫩🫩🫩🫩

I almost started to tweak cuh

Good news doe the faulty RAM got returned and we are getting new ones

[steady sail]

Question what was the RAM’s brand

[prisma island]

Corsair DDR5 6000MHZ 2x 16GB

Hold

[steady sail]

[prisma island]

CMK32GX5M2E6000Z36

Exact vendor code

[sullen bear]

Yeah I have some spare ones here

corsair is good for ram, in the end they all use chips from the big 3 anyways

[prisma island]

Theyre nice

Only thing is u need to read well idk if it can harm but theres intel compatible ones and amd compatible ones for EXPO and XMP

[ashen spindle]

thats all just marketing its the same thing

[sullen bear]

Yeah doesnt matter

[prisma island]

Oh really? Good to know

Is there also

Any like genuine reason to use 48 or 64 GB RAM instead of 32?

[ashen spindle]

yeah if you need more ram

[prisma island]

What does it exactly improve in competitive games?

[sullen bear]

do you play tarkov or star citizen?

[ashen spindle]

if you dont need more it doesnt matter

ram capacity is a matter of are you using more than you have? then you need more otherwise you dont

[prisma island]

no i just mainly play Fortnite competitively and Valorant competitively, other than that story mode games like Alan Wake and such graphically heavy games other than that not really anyrhing else id say

[frozen ingot]

32gb is usually plenty if you're not a power user

[sullen bear]

then tbh u dont even need 32 Id say

[plush stirrup]

These days 32 is nice though

Maybe less so with prices atm but still

[sullen bear]

yea but if alan wake is the most intense game he plays 😄

[steady sail]

I mean there is like 10 games maybe that needs more than 32gb ram

[ashen spindle]

yeah but its nice having the option to open 5 chrome tabs during a game on top

[umbral heron]

Tarkov

DLSS 4.5 is crazy good

ngl

[frozen ingot]

wasn't expecting that much but it's completely fixed from what I can tell

aliexpress saves the day again

[balmy vector]

A bit too sharp in some games imo but it completely removes the ghosting from inspect animations in THE FINALS that preset K had

[frozen ingot]

dlss lowkey a pretty gud selling point for midrange nvidia cards now

[sullen bear]

always has been

only recently did AMD catch up with FSR

[frozen ingot]

it used to have much heavier tradeoffs

but the latest versions is borderline witchcraft

[lunar elm]

i will never get over the fact the 2060 has an option to use DLSS 4.5 while a 7900XTX dosnt have access to FSR4 readily

[sullen bear]

Cant wait for dynamic frame gen either to make 1% and 0.1% lows feel better

[balmy vector]

Dlss 4 was definitely a huge jump in quality

[sullen bear]

People hate on fake frames but idk man, I hated how they compared 5070 to 4090, but in reality DLSS is always on

[ashen spindle]

I mean its neat but also doesnt do much to use 4.5 on turing when you get lower than native performance

like sure it works but why would you run 4.5 on 20 series xD

[lunar elm]

its definitely a heavy hitter on turing and ampere

[frozen ingot]

dynamic frame gen def sells it a lot better than static 2-6x options

[reef patrol]

DLSS and Fake frames are two distinct things though. I don't mind using DLSS or FSR at Quality personally. But fake frames were VERY noticeable in 2077 when I last looked. And the new stuff still has enough that I don't care for it.

[sullen bear]

Fair, but I see a lot of people calling DLSS fake frames too, or do you mean frame gen only?

[balmy vector]

I personally just care about the upscaling, don’t use fg

[sullen bear]

I will start using dynamic frame gen probably

but for now have no reason to use x2 or whatever yet

[reef patrol]

DLSS doesn't generate frames. It upscales. Frame gen is frame gen (aka fake frames)

[frozen ingot]

same I haven't seen much reason to use FG so far

mostly because my base fps has been gud enough

[ashen spindle]

frame gen still hasnt solved the issue with increased input latency so its still bleh under like 100fps

[sullen bear]

Yeah I understand, but plenty of people who think upscaling from 1080p to 4k for example is fake

Not my opinion

[frozen ingot]

fake 4k

[sullen bear]

I actually prefer DLSS/DLAA over FXAA and TSAA etc

[ashen spindle]

doesnt help nvidia calls it dlss framegen

[reef patrol]

True - Marketing terms do be marketing.

[frozen ingot]

its better in most cases hands down

[ashen spindle]

dlss no longer is used as the original acronym but just as a term now

[balmy vector]

They should just call it rtx frame generation

[analog sinew]

AI AI AI

[frozen ingot]

nice of hw unboxed to do the 4.5 testing with my gpu

[lunar elm]

https://tenor.com/view/muhehe-cat-muhehe-muhehehe-cat-muhehehe-smirk-cat-muhehe-gif-17142133339517585968

[tribal dirge]

It's because they lack native FP8 compute which the transformer models rely on.

[lunar elm]

AMD is the derp dragon when it comes to upscaling tbh

[tribal dirge]

They really are LMAO

the AI capabilities of the tensor cores in their consumer GPUs is like a literal toy compared to Nvidia 40 or 50 series. Hence why FSR4 uses a hybrid CNN and Transformer model upscaler and FG model which is quite interesting to me.

[frozen ingot]

yeah they're kinda giving away the midrange segment to nvidia as well bc of it

[latent mural]

DLSS is useless on 1080p. Steam survey says 52.58% of users use that res, with only 4.93 using 2160p.

[frozen ingot]

the segment where they were ment to compete in

[latent mural]

Who enables DLSS in anything below 1440p anyways

[analog sinew]

soon we will when the games become more demanding but hardware costs too much

[vapid ruin]

far console gamer

[ashen spindle]

thats the point its starting to become useable at 720p base resolution

still mostly shit but it gets better

[tribal dirge]

ROFL

[ashen spindle]

I mean I still dont use it at 1440p but its becoming more than just a 4k option

[tribal dirge]

Usually I can play 4k native on most games unless it's CBP 2077 with path tracing set to Ultra

[ashen spindle]

most annoying thing though is still that amds frame gen is less intense so so it costs lower compute time and gives you more fps but they still havent fixed it to be paced correctly

[tribal dirge]

Oh really? High key I thought that was a bug at first when I tried it

LMAO

[frozen ingot]

I play at 1440 and don't really see any reason not to use it in every game that supports it now with version 4-4.5

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, Esp since to me at least it looks better than the forced TAA that's AAA titles tend to use

Usually I go to DLAA

[frozen ingot]

yeah dlss/dlaa is probably the best AA option available now

[balmy vector]

Dlaa crispy

[frozen ingot]

comparable in visual quality to a lot heavier AA types

[balmy vector]

Quality also nice

[frozen ingot]

without that performance hit

[tribal dirge]

DLAA is a bit heavy but looks so good if you are able to use it

[ashen spindle]

yeah its kinda funny that the first amd fg implementation was better than nvidia has it even now just isn't paced correctly

[balmy vector]

Yeah, ill probably use it a lot more now in singleplayer games

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, although I remember Nvidia's single FG being super smeary, the pacing I didn't notice as much on Nvidia's implementation. But the smear was really bad

Now it's much improved though

[ashen spindle]

not even that, the time in ms to create the frame is lower on amd so if you compare both at the same base you get slightly more fps/less latency from FSR

[tribal dirge]

Makes sense, they use a hybrid CNN/Transformer ML model

But Nvidia uses exclusively Transformers which is way more computationally expensive

[ashen spindle]

idk if thats the same from framegen since you arent upscaling that

[lunar elm]

amd’s next model leaked

[ashen spindle]

it's funny how much more accurate that is than you probably know

[balmy vector]

Quin what gpu do you run?

[ashen spindle]

4090

[balmy vector]

Gotcha, just never knew

[tribal dirge]

Yeah but they still use their house made ML models for the FG, just separate ones from the upscaling ML models.

Although it's kind of impressive that an image generation model can generate a full image in a few milliseconds given previous images in its context window

[umbral heron]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingnewsandleaks/comments/1q88b1u/grain_of_salt_steam_machine_price_leaked_1000_for/

[vapid ruin]

That's a really good price

[unkempt lake]

In the current market yes

[vapid ruin]

what if market like it is 6 months ago (without the insane price hike on ram)

[unkempt lake]

Then i'd be like ehhhhhh

It's meh

@vapid ruin like i got a 7600x3d, 32gb of ram and a 9060xt 16gb for a similar anount of money in august

[vapid ruin]

mmhm, alright.

[unkempt lake]

For like 975cad which is 701usd

[umbral heron]

It's not a cube though
I want me cube

[unkempt lake]

It's a mini atx board and a small form factor gpu it could be a cube

If i really wanted it to be

[vapid ruin]

hopefully this way dev will have something to optimize for PC. Like if it can do 1080p 60fps on steam machine, then it'll be a nice optimized game for other pc system.

gabecube*

[ashen spindle]

wont be any different from them just using a random 3060 machine

[umbral heron]

Doubt they'll optimize just for Gabecube but it'll be a decent HTPC/console PC

[vapid ruin]

hmm, I guess. But there's too many 3060 variant still. Like, it could be 6gb, 8gb, 12gb vram, diff amount of cooling capabilities and such.

[ashen spindle]

doesnt make one bit of a difference

[lunar elm]

better upscaling crutch on the 3060

[ashen spindle]

eh not really

[lunar elm]

upscaling on 1080p is really sad but its starting to become a reality

[ashen spindle]

yeah but that doesnt really matter for a dev machine running targeted base spec?

[sullen bear]

I hope thats the current price but i doubt it

[sullen bear]

Old info?
It now(?) says
⁠512GB model: 19,826 CZK (approximately $950 USD, pre-tax)
• ⁠2TB model: 22,305 CZK (approximately $1,070

[umbral heron]

Read first comment - their store has inflated prices

[sullen bear]

Ok.

Steam:
OLED 512GB 569€.

OLED 1024GB 679€.

---

Smarty:

OLED 512GB = 658,60€

OLED 1024GB = 823,34€

---

Still higher.

That mean around 17% margin.

Is another comment

[sullen bear]

Tax is like 21% here so it would cancel eachother out i think

Cuz its the pre tax price

Or its an american on a cz site

[umbral heron]

It's similar here - 256GB LCD costs 1899 and 512 OLED costs 2599
In store it's 2699 and 3499 respectively

American on EU site most likely, all stuff in there has VAT

17% margin would mean
19826 CZK / 1.17 = 16945 CZK
Without 21% VAT
16945 CZK / 1.21 = 14000 CZK
Which is about 670 USD

[tribal dirge]

What if: Steamdeck Pro

With AMD Strix Halo or one of the Panther Lake chips

I would love to see something along the lines of that tbh

Omg and a 120Hz screen!!!!

[umbral heron]

120Hz would eat through battery like crazy

[tribal dirge]

120Hz OLEDs are very efficient wym?

[ashen spindle]

if you turn them off maybe lmao

[tribal dirge]

I mean, iPad Pro have 120Hz OLEDs and they get excellent battery life

And it's a big OLED display at that

[ashen spindle]

its starting to get better yeah but handhelds arent going to get the good screens for decent prices yet with low volume

[tribal dirge]

Yeah true

But it's a dream yet to be come true

[ashen spindle]

granted its not as bad as on laptops where oled kills battery when you look at white excel sheets but its not making it better

[tribal dirge]

I mean, it's a little better with VRR tech but not perfect

Mainly because windows implementation of VRR is not great

For desktop use specifically

[nimble arch]

Maybe it'll become affordable once Nintendo release a Switch 2 OLED

I mean...yeah.

Can't really stop people from doing it on their own systems, but being a global social media platform and providing tools (and not trying to curb the use) comes with consequences.

[analog sinew]

its crazy that it survived the whole buyout and enshittification anyway

policymakers and companies shouldve responded way harsher

[latent mural]

Good

They should ban it worldwide

Despicable the way he continues to recklessly run his social media and genAI without any sort of moderation

That needs to stop

It won't stop it being used of course. But it will at least push it away from the socially acceptable spaces.

razer uses grok for its new gaming ai

Its so cringe

you can ask it how to get better ar games

https://youtu.be/j_2jvyqta0s?si=1ASO5YrRPfOWnt73

[vapid ruin]

I mean, it's a nice way to tell people to not post picture of yourself online if you don't want to be gooned on

[unkempt lake]

The razer booth at ces is just

[reef patrol]

Can't wait for the first YT videos about how to jailbreak their Razer Gooner Jars and turn it into an adult only desktop thing.

[unkempt lake]

Peak ai slop

[unkempt lake]

That was always a problem tho

It's just people will ai goon to you instead of just gooning to you

But the result is gooning regardless

[bright briar]

anyone seen the samsung ui 8.5 beta

looks pretty good

[halcyon moss]

Of course, because it's the horny ai

[unkempt lake]

they have an anime girl telling you how to game

[vapid ruin]

if you can use your own AI with it it'll be nice

[halcyon moss]

Yes.. Grok is horny

[vapid ruin]

despite being horny, grok is not good any roleplaying

claude of all model is the best one

SORRY TURING I JUST REALLY LIKE DINOSAURS WITH DOUBLE DS

OKAY

DONT JUDGE ME

[spiral island]

What would mou think

[unkempt lake]

it's a great game

You can play soccer

[bright briar]

she looks away

[spiral island]

It's not even showing up for me, must've disabled the horny stuff on there

I ain't judging, really, just having a bit of fun.

[unkempt lake]

its a meme game

i swear

Like you get to play soccer with dinosaurs with giant tits and muscle cats it's like genuinely the stupidest game i've ever played

i played it while shitfaced drunk and it was the funniest shit ever

Also i murdered someone

In the game

Because in the dating sim section some poopy head disagreed with me on the best dinosaur

[latent mural]

what are you talking about

[unkempt lake]

it's like the most non serious meme game ever

a videogame on steam

A meme game

[latent mural]

oh

[latent mural]

god bless steam filters

real ones for that

[spiral island]

I love when a game is silly on the surface but actually has impressive mechanics

[unkempt lake]

Was given to me as a joke and i laughed my ass off

great gag gift

Nvidia: makes dlss4.5 available to all users
Amd: no news about that leaked fsr4 for rdna3 that already works

Thanks amd

Its frustrating how they're radio silent and then go on stage and did the stupidest ai presentation

With stupid rereleases

And a slightly better binned 9800x3d

Tbh i'm hoping for intel to catch up

More competition is what we need

[nimble arch]

Should’ve been banned for its obvious foreign election interference.

[unkempt lake]

Amd cpus are imo overpriced atm

[unkempt lake]

imagine thinking foreign interference gets taken seriously

Or conflicts of interest

[nimble arch]

AMD’s best supported consumer GPU is whatever Sony ship in the PlayStation.

[umbral heron]

AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity

[spiral island]

We let our congress buy individual stocks 🙃

That grok stuff is incredibly dark tho

[coral sapphire]

Built it myself. The strip itself is 1875W total.

[sullen bear]

Thats quite low I think if you have a 5090 for example 😛

cuz transient spikes go brr

[marsh pewter]

from what we’ve seen from CES so far it looks like they might actually have a chance

[spiral island]

I didn’t think I’d see people rooting for Intel again so soon

[umbral heron]

I mean, 25W base, 80W max turbo, sounds amazing
Then I realized it's a mobile CPU...

[unkempt lake]

Competition isnalways good

[coral sapphire]

What do you mean, we are talking about a whole surge protector….

I have the 5070TI, therefore…

Would it still be as bad?

[lunar elm]

[lunar elm]

yes granny su $500 for a 8 core cpu in 2026

[unkempt lake]

intel when 4 cores for like years: Fuck intel evil 14nm+++++++++++ meme stagnation
amd when 8 cores for years: i sleep

[lunar elm]

9850x3d being listed for $550+ is indeed straight out of that book

[unkempt lake]

amd fanboys are just as bad as the intel fanboys

[lunar elm]

intel also looked at nvidia’s CES 2025 homework and used it this year

[frozen ingot]

amd are the same as the rest of the techbro industry

[lunar elm]

im not even a amd fanboy my circumstances just led me to have 3 AMD platforms

[umbral heron]

9850X3D being just 9800X3DT is a joke

[astral haven]

Nvidia ces 2025 at least had the 5090

[sullen bear]

Igor's peak power analysis shows that the RTX 5090 is capable of excursions as high as 627.5 W for 10 ms to 20 ms durations; as high as 738.2 W in 5 ms to 10 ms durations, as high as 823.6 W in the 1 ms to 5 ms category, and as high as 901.1 W in spikes under 1 ms in duration.

So no, its only for the 5090, not as bad as for the 5070ti

[umbral heron]

They just increased turbo clock and that's it

[unkempt lake]

I just get what's best value at the time

[tribal dirge]

eh, even when you take away all the upscaling and framegen tech, Panther Lake is generally better than AMD Strix Halo both in terms of power efficiency and performance.

[lunar elm]

gaming PC led me to X3D
wanted the cheapest entry to a DDR5 platform-7600X
Open box deal on a laptop that was sufficient for my needs- 8945HS with 32GB ram

[frozen ingot]

I tend to just buy what gives me the most value, don't care about brands or labels

[lunar elm]

not to mention even if we bring FSR to the table RDN3.5 slop cant even use fsr4 and fsr3/3.1 looks worse than xess2.0

[unkempt lake]

i mean you can run fsr4

Its just... not official

With a leaked dll

But it works great

[tribal dirge]

yeah, I hope that Nova Lake can bring the same big improvements that Panther Lake does.

[lunar elm]

if the intel core ultra prices came down earlier or didnt start at that absurd price I wouldve already gone arrow lake instead of the 7600X just for how good it is

[unkempt lake]

But amd just sits there and doesnMt give a shit

[lunar elm]

amd’s job being done by 3rd party peeps smh

[frozen ingot]

been on a 7600x for little over a year

[unkempt lake]

Like why do i have to use optiscaler and a leaked dll to get better fsr in my rdna3 gpu it's frustrating

[lunar elm]

derpy ass dragon compared to xess and dlss being file based LOL

[unkempt lake]

i guess my poor little 7900xtx just didn't deserve it ):

I'll say i'm stillreally happy with it

[frozen ingot]

amd never misses the opportunity to miss a good opportunity

[unkempt lake]

But it pisses me off to see amd sit on their asses

[astral haven]

I'm still on my 5950x from 2021
Why are motherboards so awful now 🙁

[umbral heron]

Proton just accepts one environmental variable to load it automagically

[lunar elm]

AMD is the definition of a fraud, smh

[unkempt lake]

Nah

That's exagerated

[lunar elm]

rn Intel is the joker card in the room

[astral haven]

Nah they just let their fans overhype themselves

[tribal dirge]

I would still wait for Nova Lake because nova lake will have both P cores and E cores support the same instruction sets which should solve the whole OS scheduler issues that Intel has been having with their more recent architectures.

[frozen ingot]

what's wrong with the current motherboards

[unkempt lake]

Price/feature wise? I mean i personally got a decent board for cheap but yeah it's kinda insane how much less features you get for the price now

[lunar elm]

novalake novalake novalake

[unkempt lake]

Lack of features for the price mainly

[frozen ingot]

except for assrocks assassin boards

[tribal dirge]

yasssss

[astral haven]

There's not a single board that can run a GPU at full speed + an x8 card

Unless you go tr or Xeon w

[unkempt lake]

What 8x card do you even need tho

[astral haven]

Various

[unkempt lake]

But also i get that its annoying

[astral haven]

Old SSD, nics

[unkempt lake]

I bought an x670e over an x870e because i could actually run 4x nvmes lol

[astral haven]

I run a riser that allows me to plug in multiple into a slot

[umbral heron]

To run a card at full speed you still need PCIe 3.0, even with 5090
x16+x8 is easily achievable on PCIe 5.0

[unkempt lake]

Old ssds i have just enough sata ports

[lunar elm]

we’ve had zen+5%, get ready for zen +6% chance of a good imc

[unkempt lake]

Pcie 3 is fine tho

[astral haven]

Achievable but not available

[unkempt lake]

Legit not really a perf drop

[umbral heron]

Sure is
I won't change from my PCIe 4.0 mobo

[astral haven]

5.0x4? Ez pz
2.0x8 get rekt

[lunar elm]

cant wait to see amd’s next gpu strat to be RDNA 5% marketshare

[umbral heron]

If only there was 9080XT

[astral haven]

My x570 has 4.0x8 from chipset at half bandwidth, but I can still run a 3.0x8 device at full speed or a 4.0x4 device at full speed in the same slot

If someone could do a 5.0x8 slot at half bandwidth I'd love it

Or a 5.0x16 at quarter, that be even cooler

[tribal dirge]

or even better a 9090 XTX

[tribal dirge]

but, only in my dreams

[nimble arch]

9999 XTX3D Pro Max

[tribal dirge]

lmao

[astral haven]

I have a 6990 and a 7990,the 8990 exists already, why not the 9990

[ashen spindle]

their next gpu strat is: every dgpu is actually just a reused die from another segment

im not kidding btw, if they care about dgpu will be shown by if we get a die thats only used as dgpu

if they dont we wont get the second biggest die

[coral sapphire]

Question just built my first pc, my CPU temps HEAVILY jump, the highest it went was 66 but I feel that’s pretty high, how can I cool this more?

[reef patrol]

66 is normal under load depending on the cooler.

[coral sapphire]

Tryx Panorama AIO

So 66 is good?

What is a number it hits that I should be worried about the Temp?

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/chernobyl-not-great-not-terrible-its-okay-gif-24540363

[reef patrol]

Use the PC, like properly in a game and log the temps.

[steady sail]

If its close to the sun in temp u can worry

[coral sapphire]

Alright, I just downloaded all my softwares, I’ll need to download a game when I’m home.

Thank you for your input.

[pastel galleon]

no 12V high failure connector tho pls

3x 8 pins and 3x displayport

Prime OC variant would be sick

[bright briar]

lowkey kinda sucks i cant test out UI 8.5 beta 3 for samsung in my country

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-michael-scott-brave-face-gif-4641760338388854480

[bright briar]

i been using 12pin and i had no issues

[tribal dirge]

I remember an old 2080 Ti having 3x 8pin connectors it was ridiculous

although there was a 5090 engineering sample that had 4x 16pin connectors

which was even more ridiculous

[ashen spindle]

this is wrong btw, panther lake isnt better than stxh gpu performance

that was wccftech being the usual stupid and still doesnt know cp2077 doesnt apply framegen settings correctly so stxh had no framegen and ptl has framegen active

it has a bigger gpu than regular strix and scales to more power but not 30% above stxh

[tribal dirge]

I said without upscaling and FG?

[ashen spindle]

yeah and without those its not better in terms of performance

[tribal dirge]

huh

[ashen spindle]

the only report where ptl beats stxh is wccftechs cp2077 bench where they had the wrong settings

[tribal dirge]

I didnt look at what wcc put out so I dont know what their performance figures look like

but i'll trust what you say about them

[ashen spindle]

I just assumed you got it either from them or reddit using their numbers since it was the only case

[spiral island]

Not as good as

I’ll be here all week, tip your waiters

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/nxu_tRpgDQg?si=eM6omvETOr4C6nXo

is the “stripe” and “black shield” technology ASUS exclusive technologies?

[ashen spindle]

no the darker coating is what they all have with the new panel just different names

[sudden imp]

What about the clarity thing or will that be applicable to all new WOLEDS

[ashen spindle]

you mean the subpixel layout so theres no text color fringing?

[sudden imp]

Yeah

I assume it’s all just marketing points by ASUS. Will LG release a version with this panel?

[ashen spindle]

lg asus msi gigabyte all have different names for it

it is a lg panel

[sudden imp]

Ah okay

I’m super stoked for it

[empty wren]

Stripe RGB layout*

[tribal dirge]

yeah, likely under their Ultragear house brand

theyre making 2 panels actually, one 27 inch panel and one 34 inch ultrawide

with the RGB stripe WOLED

[sudden imp]

wooo

[serene ruin]

This is amazing

[sudden imp]

Would it be searchable at the moment or unlikely as it’s all still in production?

[ashen spindle]

once people are back from ces there will be more articles with release dates and such

[tribal dirge]

there are already model numbers

[ashen spindle]

yeah but its hard to find details on what launches when in which region

always a couple of days wait after ces and its easier to find

[tribal dirge]

yeah but you can look here to get like a general idea of what will come out https://www.lg.com/us/discover-ultragear-evo-monitors

they're kind of changing the naming a little for 2026 though

they're calling them "UltraGear evo AI"

[ashen spindle]

urgh of course

[tribal dirge]

the ones with the RGB stripe tech are the ones with "4th Gen Primary RGB Tandem OLED"

although LG in their marketing material also refers it to "Tandem WOLED"

[tribal dirge]

the worst part is that they added the AI part because they are doing AI upscaling at the monitor level on these

you can turn it off, but its there I guess?

[minor citrus]

Uh nice, now we have something questionable like 400hz TV back then

[empty wren]

this with a screen this big

[tribal dirge]

Bro is literally smelling the pixels

[empty wren]

Bro when told not to sit too close to the screen

[leaden kiln]

his eyes gonna be so square

[coral sapphire]

Man bro

I tried enabling XMP right, set my sped at 120.00 (Gigabyte Terms: 6000MT/s cause it was running 4800MT/s, now my debug light says 0d, and it won’t even boot anymore unless I clear CMOS and I’m clueless on wth CMOS even is…

[analog sinew]

what did you set to 120? not usually a ram timing in that value range

[fair gull]

your mobo manual has a clear cmos switch or remove the battery and power from the psu then hold the powerbutton for a few seconds to make sure all electricity has discharged

[analog sinew]

you need to clear your bios

either jumper, switch or remove battery or sth

[fair gull]

also idk why you set it to 120

[analog sinew]

yeah thats what i wonder too 😅

only thing i can think of i 1.20 V

[sudden imp]

Jesus what the hell are these naming schemes

[fair gull]

or 120v

lol

[dull hollow]

all i did to get 6000 on ram on a gigabyte motherboard was enable xmp/expo and didnt touch anything else

[fair gull]

because thats what youd usually do

literally just select the ddr-6000 profile in xmp and youre done

[coral sapphire]

So on my X870E Aorus Elite WIFI7 i clicked system memory multiplier, because I didn’t see memory frequency or DDR5 frequency, and it gave me options like 1.0-120.0

I know it sounds weird, but that’s what appeared when I clicked it.

[fair gull]

brother

that didnt do what you thought it does

[coral sapphire]

Sob

I need to stop listening to chatgpt

So, now what do I do, my only option is clearing CMOS?

[dull hollow]

ah yes chatgpt my way through bios instead of youtube tutorials

[ashen spindle]

yes... yes you do

[fair gull]

yes

again check your manual of the motherboard or do what i explained earlier

[coral sapphire]

Listen I tried techsource I just couldn’t understand

[fair gull]

setting the multiplier to 120 means 100mhz x 120 which comes out to 12000mhz or 24000MT

[analog sinew]

memory multiplier is ×100hz so you tried to set it to 12000hz

[coral sapphire]

Oh wow

[analog sinew]

thats some NASA ram

but you should not have damaged anything

[fair gull]

anyway dont touch settings just cause ai told you to

ai is dumb

[coral sapphire]

Okay, so clear cmos, once that is done just enable xmp?

[fair gull]

clear cmos and then enable an xmp profile

you should also see a frequency it gives you

multiply frequency by 2 to get MT

[coral sapphire]

When I enable it, it said DDR5-7000

Next to XMP1

[fair gull]

literally better than 6000

[coral sapphire]

Then it said that would be overly high and wouldn’t boot

So of course I listened…

Alright, you guys are amazing, thank you for your help. I’m clueless on my first build.

[fair gull]

next time please ask real people with pc knowledge

not a child crammed into a pc program calling itself intelligent

[coral sapphire]

Agreed, discord is my go to now…

[fair gull]

prob actually best to not trust anything ai says. not just the pc stuff

[crimson wigeon]

B-b-but big tech is saying it's amazing!!

[analog sinew]

xmp usually even picks out the right one

[tribal dirge]

yeah ikr

[spiral island]

Btw ducky the Macintosh SE did not work when I plugged it in so the project is back burnered for now. Gotta put together a cap discharger 😭

[tribal dirge]

rip

[spiral island]

I think it’s the power supply cause almost nothing happened which is… the worst possibility 😂

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/mFG3Ah-zf18?si=B0p9T3UKvpM_p1Ux

I feel like it’s beating a dead horse at this point. We all know it’s bad but I want to see case reviews, not constant reminders of how terrible of a state the pc market stands in the economy.

[pearl eagle]

Can some1 help me my Wooting is not working after an failed Update.

[pearl eagle]

Did it thanks

[lunar elm]

reset cmos entirely, and just go in and select DRAM profile and either any EXPO or XMP one thats 6000. Save changes and exit, call it a day. Dont touch anything else

Look at the back of ur mobo for any “clear cmos button” or you’d need to go find a circular cmos battery on the mobo (refer to google and mobo manual)

[tribal dirge]

or just dont touch it at all if you dont know what you are doing!!!!

[lunar elm]

its funny he put a 120x multiplier or something

[tribal dirge]

holy fuck

[lunar elm]

thats some ddr7 ram he’s trynna achieve right there

[lunar elm]

gigabyte’s bios is hella roundabout more than asrock ngl

[tribal dirge]

smh why cant they just stick with the default AMI interface and call it a day

literally zero reason to modify the AMI BIOS configuration interface LMAO

[lunar elm]

gigglebutt on their way to put a whopping 2 USB on lowend motherboard models and complicate their entire bios:

[tribal dirge]

its not even their bios lmao, they all use AMI

[lunar elm]

if he chose XMP 7000 it wouldve put him in gear 2 which is slower anywhere

[tribal dirge]

yeah

[tribal dirge]

also imagine if that was the voltage instead of some other parameter? LOLLLLL

we gonna send this RAM to the moon by adding a +120 to RAM voltage

[lunar elm]

ah yes 2v ram

[tribal dirge]

[lunar elm]

theres people running ram at like close to 1.9v but thats just dedication

I’ve seen someone be running 9200 CL36 1.83v daily

[tribal dirge]

Lemme guess, Core i9 14900K

Back when I had my 14th gen i9 I ran it at 8000MT/s most of the time

[lunar elm]

nah 285K on the Asus Z890 maximus apex

[tribal dirge]

Ah, impressive for a series 2 cpu

[lunar elm]

not really

[tribal dirge]

No the fact that it's stable lmao

[lunar elm]

o lol

im pretty sure the guy binned his samples

[tribal dirge]

Fair but still

[lunar elm]

then again ram running at 1.83v surely isnt fun for it

[tribal dirge]

No deffo not

They will be running quite hot under load

Since the gpu would be blowing hot air onto them and whatnot

[lunar elm]

I also have a ram fan but Im not exceeding 1.5v due to my shit bin

[tribal dirge]

Lel

[lunar elm]

well, partially it bcs its ayymd

[pastel galleon]

My kit is 1.4V but I don't have any temperature issues on my memory

2x48GB DDR5-6000

[lunar elm]

you only need a fan when ur in the 1.5V range

[pastel galleon]

I'm chillin then

[lunar elm]

upwards of 1.5V is where a fan is needed to maintain temperature stability

[pastel galleon]

that's great to know

[halcyon moss]

Quite affordable https://www.hackster.io/news/seeed-studio-s-epaper-kits-go-big-with-a-13-3-e-ink-spectra-6-six-color-panel-f75f81290c29

Hey guys, I have a question. Is there any way to do a profile switcher connected to a program? So instead of a keyboard combination I just run the program and it switches to the profile that connected to? Any way to do this?

[reef patrol]

It's in the works via our background service.

[crystal estuary]

amazing

[analog sinew]

https://github.com/ShayBox/Wooting-Profile-Switcher in the meantime you can use this 3rd party tool someone made, maybe it works for your needs

[crystal estuary]

I'll have a look, thank you very much.

[reef patrol]

I think the most recent firmware update broke this? Unless they already patched it.

[analog sinew]

sadness

what exactly did the firmware change? this tool doesnt look so complicated so it might be patchable

[reef patrol]

No idea.

I just recall seeing threads about it here.

[marsh glade]

Shay posted about a month ago in #🤖│community_dev about whether or not they should update their codebase with respect to the background service, but nothing broke as far as I know

#🤖│community_dev message

[reef patrol]

Someone made a post a few days ago saying it was borked iirc. Needed to rollback one version (on the board)

[marsh glade]

Oh I missed that then

[analog sinew]

@coral sapphire i saw that
do you need help

[coral sapphire]

Yes, just one question, when they said the recommendation is 6000MT/s, but I’m put on 7000MT/s am I still able to change my DRAM frequency?

Or should I boot up normally with 7000MT/s?

[reef patrol]

Enable XMP, stop overthinking

[ashen spindle]

Your cpu won’t be able to do 7000

Well, it can but at a bad ratio so you will have much worse performance so stick to 6000

[analog sinew]

your ram kit should have a setting it is rated to listed

sth like 6000 38-18-18-26 or something

and your mobo should have a corresponding xmp profile if it does not automatically load

heres it on my pc

you dont want to adjust only the transfers

the subtimings matter too

so its a whole profile not just freq

consult your mobo manual or tell us the make again

and the ramkit you have aswell

[ashen spindle]

If you have a 7000 Kit you just water money and have to set it to 6000

But if you have an x3d CPU you can basically ignore it anyway

[analog sinew]

pretty sure they said it was a 6000 kit

[ashen spindle]

Ah

I did and nothing happened
He looked at me like its not my phone and I didnt choose to disable it

[wheat plume]

People are saying that Steam Frame is DOA because there was a new one announced by another company with higher resolution....
Resolution really is not the only factor behind a VR headset lol

[ashen spindle]

are these people in the room with us

[wheat plume]

Theres one from Linus' channel Short Circuit

Just one month after he said that the Frame will kill the competition

[ashen spindle]

...

okay so nobody is saying it and you're citing clickbait youtube videos

[vapid ruin]

quest 3/4 pico 4/4 ultra is the competition

[ashen spindle]

not to mention the short circuit video isnt even saying it so we have lana getting clickbaited by headlines into making even worse clickbait discord posts...

so people arent saying it anywhere

[lunar elm]

“People”
Which ones
Who?

[wheat plume]

Why is Google sponsoring Gnome desktop??!

[ashen spindle]

Same reasons all the others do?

[thick elk]

Specifically Google uses their own debian testing based distro which runs gnome.

[old marlin]

Gnoogle sponsoring Gnome

[sullen bear]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeLpB93yLR4

Quite a big difference from what I see

[wheat plume]

ChromeOS is Fedora, is it not?

[thick elk]

Not really relevant here, is a bout what employees use, but ChromeOS is Gentoo based.

[wheat plume]

also good news, you can revert your wooting firmware simply by going back to stable wootility and going to the update settings, you get the option to revert your devices there :D

I just reverted my 60he and UwU

(it does undo all your settings and profiles though)

[ashen spindle]

thats news? I was using beta firmware for the lekker edition at points and just reverted back afterwards

[wheat plume]

I was previously told I would have to wait until the next stable to get back to stable firmwarew

[thick elk]

Reminds me that I have not opened wootility in quite some time.
Ew one big turd let on that ui, welp have not used it in over a year so no big deal.

[wheat plume]

I just use the website cause its the most useful

[thick elk]

Did but went but it refreshed to 5.something and now the normal mode is gone, just has the edgelord theme (dark theme)

That said no big deal general idea with these is set and forget most of the time, unless I want to play with analog

[wheat plume]

Steam Machine leaks apparentlyt estimate the price to be 980 dollars....I highly doubt that

the leaks are from some random Czech store

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle Intel ER in 12 days

[ashen spindle]

no those are not the steam machine prices... jfc read more than new headlines please

[thick elk]

Placeholder store pricing for a store that resells valve stuff at a markup, not an official partner of any kinds.
There is no leak here, just a price the store knows they won't loose money on.

[wheat plume]

Yeah.... I know that site sells Decks that are like 30-40% more expensive 😅

[thick elk]

So there you have it, you already knew it was not noteworthy

[ashen spindle]

if you know, then why do you say the estimate is at the higher check price..

[ashen spindle]

meh ER wont mean much this and next quarter for amd/intel

at least from a product site which is what I care about

[fickle ore]

It will show if the FAB side has become profitable or not

which is what im most interested about

Doesn't matter much tho, its a ramp up game

Still I predict 10-20% jump if somehow the Fab is already generating positive FCF

[ashen spindle]

I dont think even in their own best case scenario they are profitable yet

[fickle ore]

It jumped 10 % yesterday from orange guy tweet lmao

[ashen spindle]

if 2026 can make it back up to 2024 stock that would be good for them

[tribal dirge]

Intel Foundry in my opinion will only be successful if they can get customers to design on 18A and 14A

[nimble arch]

Apple, apparently.

[tribal dirge]

If they can't find customers Intel foundry wont ever be profitable unless they massively downscale their operations

[nimble arch]

Although seemingly only for chips to use in budget/affordable products.

[ashen spindle]

apple isnt doing anything on intel, at least not in what was reported as leak

at some point maybe but the current apple on intel rumors would mean they would regress in their chips which they are not going to do

[tribal dirge]

They need more than just Apple as a customer

[fickle ore]

They will for sure

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, and it doesn't help that TSMC's other fab is literally just across the city from their own fab site that is making 18A

[fickle ore]

Lol TSM US fabs are irrelevant

smoll and old tech, cant compete vs 14-18A

[tribal dirge]

Yeah

True that

[ashen spindle]

you do realize they are putting basically the same tech there?

18A is mostly comparable to N3P on tsmc side

[tribal dirge]

TSMC haven't begun any full production of N3P in their Arizona fab just yet though, I think that has been scheduled for 2027 last I checked? Unless they changed it.

[fickle ore]

18A is better and 18AP even more so, which will likely get atleast a few customers

[ashen spindle]

18A is not better, it's N3P at best and 2 years later

with production start for intel now and external customers even later

so at best for intel it has a 3quarter start to be in arizona for that

[fickle ore]

N3P lacks bspd

[ashen spindle]

so? a feature doesnt make it better if the rest isnt there

bspd is part of the reason its even competing with N3P and not N3B

[fickle ore]

Does TSM Arizona even have advanced packaging or does it need to send it back to TW?

Intel has both on mainland US

[tribal dirge]

That kind of doesn't matter when 18A can't match the transistor density that TSMC's latest node can achieve.

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter most people dont package on 3rd party OSATs like Amkor

[tribal dirge]

Which is N2 methinks

[fickle ore]

If it lacks advanced packaging its even more irrelevant that I thought

bullish

[ashen spindle]

even CoWos was licensed out to OSATs so people dont need to do that at tsmc anymore

[iron wave]

    Building [======================>  ] 213/227: aws-lc-sys(build)

Rust is as bad as NPM I swear.

[fickle ore]

And TSM has any on US soil?

If not its a bottleneck for them

[ashen spindle]

no?

[fickle ore]

2-5 month wait time

[ashen spindle]

why would it be a bottleneck if it happens after production

[fickle ore]

gg

[ashen spindle]

you never move produced chips into the next machine to package instantly

neither intel nor tsmc do that

[tribal dirge]

Yeah that never ever happens, usually the finished dies get sent to separate very specialized facilities where they are assembled and put onto a substrate.

Like for panther lake, the IO die still comes from TSMC

[fickle ore]

You don't see an issue if someone orders dies from TSMC Arizona, they get sent back to TW for packaging, sent back to US for sales? Vs Intel doing on both US soil and if sales are on US soil?

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt get sent to TW

[fickle ore]

Where then

[ashen spindle]

OSATs usually sit in malaysia or similar

[fickle ore]

Look, thats literally the same thing time wise

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, iirc TSM's TW fab is literally only producing their latest nodes

[fickle ore]

Yeah same shit.. Wait times are epic

[ashen spindle]

packaged in malaysia for ages

lol no

its entire factories set up only for packaging

[tribal dirge]

No, usually these things get shipped via overnight air

[fickle ore]

Cost & margins

[tribal dirge]

Because production schedules are super tight

[tribal dirge]

Worth eating the cost most of the time

[ashen spindle]

amkor has fabs in arizona too btw

[tribal dirge]

Like I said, production schedules are tight for these things

[fickle ore]

TSM Arizona cant eat the margins because they have shit margins with US salaries

ergo utterly worthless fab

[ashen spindle]

https://amkor.com/amkor-technology-arizona/

there, nothing outside US needed

[fickle ore]

If they do it there that's one issue tackled for sure.

[willow isle]

hi

[ashen spindle]

oh also, PTL shows that its even worse than N3B in some parts, the cpu clocks lower on panther lake than the N3B arrow lake cores

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rT24bAWJ80c
Lol

[ashen spindle]

can't wait for the first of these things to melt

[tribal dirge]

this just looks like a shittier version of TG WireView Pro 2

[reef patrol]

shrug

[nimble arch]

Very cool of Rtings to put a ton of their content behind an account/paywall requirement 🙃

[ashen spindle]

isnt it just a earlier preview and its free after x weeks?

[nimble arch]

I was looking at something from a year ago

In the soundbar section, that is

[tribal dirge]

clear cookies, read more!

[nimble arch]

About that

[steady sail]

Cloudflare got a 14 million euro fine

[nimble arch]

For?

Refusing to filter pirate sites

By AGCOM

https://torrentfreak.com/italy-fines-cloudflare-e14-million-for-refusing-to-filter-pirate-sites-on-public-1-1-1-1-dns/

[sudden imp]

Cost of doing business I guess

[unkempt lake]

we like money

[unkempt lake]

yes the numerical scores are also locked for me

And i dont remember the last time i used rtings's website

So

You can at least read the stuff you just can't see the numerical score

Its so dumb

They literally have ads on the websote

Yet try to charge people for this shit

[old marlin]

I mean I get locking early access behind a subscription

since they have quite high running costs

[unkempt lake]

This shit's old tho

[old marlin]

but that review is over a year old now

[ashen spindle]

maybe nobody cares for audio reviews

[old marlin]

I mean

[unkempt lake]

Seems like it's this way for the soundbar and printer categories

[old marlin]

it is a soundbar

[unkempt lake]

Other categories arent locked out it seems

[old marlin]

yea simple answer for soundbars is: do not buy

[unkempt lake]

But everythibg soundbar and printer is

[unkempt lake]

just because a product doesn't mean your need doesn't mean it can't be good for someone else

[old marlin]

maybe they realized those categories make them loose more money than they earn

[old marlin]

soundbars kinda suck for everyone tho

[unkempt lake]

They can just stop reviewing them then

[unkempt lake]

someone with limited space and who wants a soundbar

Which is... a significant number of people

[old marlin]

you mean someone with limited space

[ashen spindle]

I mean maybe the people with subscription want them

[old marlin]

"people who want a soundbar" probably made their purchase decision already

[unkempt lake]

I literally use my tv's stock speakers

i bet that triggers you

[old marlin]

but for 800€ you can get INSANELY good hifi setups

[old marlin]

at least those are "free"

so I can't knock them

[unkempt lake]

There's cheap soundbars

[old marlin]

there is cheap hifi setups

like 200€ cheap

[unkempt lake]

they're ok, i just play my switch on there and watch the odd movie

Here and there

[old marlin]

can't complain about free, with modern TVs they also tend to not be absolute ass so I really can't complain

[reef patrol]

Good - Send that shit to the EU for a broader debate. This is a classic slippery slope of just blindly following government lists.

adding that Cloudflare is linked to roughly 70% of the pirate sites targeted under its regime.
What a bizarre conclusion to make 😄

[pale sigil]

I would argue you can go even cheaper for decent soundbars

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

Oml whoo

However I still haven't updated my windows lol

[unkempt lake]

was added in the latest preview update

[pale sigil]

I'm to traumatized by

I forgot the version

That everyone said we were crazy about being bad

[unkempt lake]

24h2

Same

It's why i skipped 24h2

Went from 23h2 to 25h2

[pale sigil]

That's the one

[unkempt lake]

it was awful

[pale sigil]

You have to do that via usb right

[unkempt lake]

literally

[pale sigil]

Mine still only offers 24h2

[pale sigil]

Very

On multiple of my devices

[unkempt lake]

mine did that and i hit check updates and it offered 25h2 so

[pale sigil]

I see

[unkempt lake]

i was stuck troubleshooting my brother and my dad's systems because of this shit

And my brother's gf's systems

all magically resolved by... downgrading to 24h2

And i was like fuck it im not updating to that shit on any of the pcs in my home

[minor citrus]

With every XXhY I have to download the windows installer, which then upgrades windows to the latest

[pale sigil]

Ye the installer is what I meant

[minor citrus]

Was never offered them via windows update somehow, really strange

[bright briar]

do i delete it

or i gotta switch da value

can i blow it up instead?

[nimble arch]

Enemy slotted

[rigid bronze]

worth the risk?

[ashen spindle]

lol no

[sudden imp]

He says it’s broken in the description lol

[tribal dirge]

No absolutely not

No display out on a gpu is very hard to diagnose

Let alone fix with standard tools

[sullen bear]

If you have to ask…

[iron wave]

Any of you know much Jellyfin? There is an ffmpeg command that fails (illegal argument) that works on my Arch box with the same media.

[iron wave]

That dude got scammed.

[tame charm]

only 50 tho

[tribal dirge]

I'd haggle that to 25 bucks since there is no display out

[analog sinew]

the price should be what you are willing to pay for the fun of tinkering with it

[frozen ingot]

jokes on you it'll reinstall with the next update

[pastel galleon]

the argument is illegal it will land you in jail

did you check the versions of the client?

[tacit leaf]

LETS GOOO

[tacit leaf]

W

[vapid ruin]

welcome back windows 10

[tacit leaf]

Removing bloatware, telemetry and ai copilot made windows 11 faster and used less ram storage

went from 6.3 gb usage to 2.9 gb

[smoky parrot]

How did you remove all that garbage?

[tacit leaf]

there are tutorials in youtube

make sure to watch the latest 2025 tutorials

basically u just have to go to github and install the Win11Debloat

[smoky parrot]

Nice, thanks

I'll do that too

The only bloatware I can stand is SignalRGB

[tacit leaf]

As long as im not yet installing linux

im debloating windows 11

[smoky parrot]

Even my visual studio is the no telemetry fork

[crimson wigeon]

Uhhuh, sure

[analog sinew]

shouldve happened years ago

[umbral heron]

Something something user friendly OS

[iron wave]

It's FFMPEG that's mad.

[fair gull]

did you check ffmpeg version and whats compiled into it

[smoky parrot]

I read that as something completely different in nature

Made me doubletake

[analog sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/doakes-gif-6639449054247309135

[fair gull]

my ffmpeg version between windows (where i just download precompiled full) and my wsl/server where i use a script i wrote to custom compile

[wheat plume]

AAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SteamOS on the Steam Frame will also be modifiable :D

[fair gull]

why wouldnt it?

its the same os after all

[wheat plume]

🤔 it also shows up as an Android device if you plug into into a computer, so you can run ADB on it

[ashen spindle]

I think we are currently in the phase of getting commentary to a random youtube video and then maybe a response after its done

[fair gull]

after the android thing thats what i also concluded

not that anything so far has been surprising or news worthy imo

[wheat plume]

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamframe

[fair gull]

ah month old documentation

i see

[umbral heron]

Oh, you can ADB to Lepton, not to SteamOS

So it basically runs Android in container to run apks, cool

[wheat plume]

Yeah, still neat though :D cause Ive tried Waydroid and its so finnicky

[tribal dirge]

makes sense, it uses a mobile chip on a mobile XR platform

[umbral heron]

Don't think of Waydroid as emulator like BlueStacks but more like a Docker for Android apps
Just sucks that it doesn't really have input emulation/injection like emulators do, you have to rely on 3rd party apps for example to map keypresses to screen touch

[alpine patio]

bro i just wanna buy a headphones and all of reddit is just audiophile arguing

[umbral heron]

Yeah, if you want to buy something don't go on Reddit

[alpine patio]

ok not all of reddit to be fair

just a few and one guy gatekeeping being an audiophile for some reason

i do really love nothing's design tho

just looking at their website makes me inspired

they make some beautiful products

[tribal dirge]

Real

[umbral heron]

Reddit does?

[nimble arch]

Reddit communities are certainly a place

[alpine patio]

nothing, the tech company

reddit's website makes me feel like a school counsellor

[umbral heron]

Yeah, the white ones look really cool

[vapid ruin]

do they say the headphone isn't tuned good enough?

[alpine patio]

i wish they were arguing abt the product

they were arguing about each other's preference and rating as a "audiophile"
