That's why I said wot

#

They avoided the question

#

I don't trust things that avoid the question

misty pier
#

yeah firefox has reader mode support

ivory geyser
#

I am not sure how old that comparison list is tbh

#

Might be pre-quantum FF

#

Or some early version

wheat plume
#

Only $10,000? C'mon Rockstar you are fucking millionaires

astral haven
#

thats alot of money still

wheat plume
#

Definitely

chrome estuary
#

Holy shit they actually added it?

#

That's great

astral haven
#

yup

chrome estuary
#

Even better since I now just got back into playing GTA Online

zenith sonnet
wheat plume
#

It's still more than a decade old networking code
It won't fix the hacking problem but damn, proper loading times? Gimme

chrome estuary
#

I pretty much only do solo public with friends

misty pier
#

yeah its faster now

#

no longer staring at clouds

chrome estuary
#

So modders (huge difference between hacking and modding) aren't a problem

wheat plume
#

Oh you specifically talking about game devs ah

#

Ayyyyy
Finally
My SSD's been dispatched!

#

O.o
Maybe it was a bad time to order something online

#

Names, addresses and contact details of 446,143 parcel receivers were compromised

#

Oh
It's already been prevented

#

Oh... But I've used them before
Is this why I'm from getting so much spam email????

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume $10k for a hobby

#

expected nothing

cursive summit
#

Massive news

#

I think that's good?

crimson wigeon
#

Not like Discord could get much worse

fair gull
#

just no

fair gull
#

so it might just be for the better

#

heck even github got cooler

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah how did we get to this timeline where MS hosts most open source projects

neat oriole
#

I kinda want discord to stay independent tho

fair gull
#

i think discord wont really improve much

neat oriole
#

Idk maybe fewer mods and their kittens

fair gull
#

under ms it might have a chance

crimson wigeon
#

Has been stagnating for years IMO, can't wait for Guilded to take over!!!!11

old marlin
#

Hitachi drives are good for servers pepeThonk

fair gull
#

guilded prob also wont take over

old marlin
#

HGST is usually one of the lowest if not the lowest for failure rate

old marlin
fair gull
#

idk bought 3 external drives which had hgst in them all 3 failed

old marlin
#

Rip

fair gull
#

after writinf 1 4tb backup to them

old marlin
#

Their server drives are good

fair gull
#

they could fix a ton of ui and shit aswell. servers. voice stuff

old marlin
#

Maybe they could implement a channel lick

#

So you don't fucking move servers accidentally

crimson wigeon
#

Lick.. mmmm..

fair gull
old marlin
#

How should they monetize themselves othwrwise?

fair gull
#

all free no muney

old marlin
crimson wigeon
#

What paywalled features are actually desired?

old marlin
#

Seagate is usually one of the worst

neat oriole
#

Server boosts get around that

fair gull
#

ya but they never failed me lol

old marlin
#

Oh yea just make everything free ez

neat oriole
#

It’s socialism

#

The few nitro users enable paywalled features for everyone else

crimson wigeon
#

Ah yes higher bitrate that will surely benefit most people's crappy mics

fair gull
#

so do it

neat oriole
#

Definitely

fair gull
#

altho i kinda expected u to say ts3

#

i thought u can buy a vps nine times over

#

also idk where u live

neat oriole
#

So you can’t buy a VPS 9 times over that’s usable at least

fair gull
#

usa?

#

bruh im no flower freak

#

but apparebtly u benefit from discorda wide range of server locations

neat oriole
#

That’s correct, the USA is pretty large, large enough to not fit inside Texas

#

I think he means typically only Hawaiians use aloha

#

Or at least I think he’s from Hawaii 5_Hmmhm

fair gull
#

also where does one get 9vps for 10bucks a month total

#

or is it 9months of vps for 1buck/month

#

why do u buy 15tho

#

ngl

#

i have no issues even with lvl nothing servers

#

idk if im just not an audiophile or smth

#

i mean i pay for nitro and all

#

dont even use what i pay for except the 2 boosts and discrim change

crimson wigeon
#

Gotta have that banner!!!

neat oriole
#

I am an audiophile and I don’t really care for higher bitrate VC

crimson wigeon
#

Guilded doesn't even have that compact message layout what hope do they have

#

What do you mean I just made a new server on Guilded

#

Pepega

fair gull
#

i mean

#

idk if hosting smth urself is always a bliss

old marlin
fair gull
#

i dont listen to music on discord lol

#

i mute that shit instantly

cursive summit
#

Still interested why Bethesda is worth less than Discord

old marlin
#

Yea some people do for some reason

old marlin
fair gull
#

i see where people come from whwn they say "cant even host my own instance" but imo thats not an outright negative

old marlin
#

Only because discord servers are free though

#

If they costed money it would suck ass and nobody would use it

fair gull
#

yes

old marlin
#

I mean I personally prefer self bosted stuff

#

But there just is no good alternative to discord

#

Also would introduce a ton of security flaws

#

Although with some effort you could make a modded client that would allow self hosted servers

#

Yes

#

Discord is the "lesser evil" in this case imo

#

Teamspeak 5 was supposed to kinda give that

#

But then it didn't

crimson wigeon
#

Isn't that still in an exclusive super cool beta

old marlin
#

You still can only bind text to voicechats

fair gull
#

inb4 also server licenses

old marlin
#

And you still can't chat in them without being in the voicechat

old marlin
#

Like it is basically only a reskin of ts3

fair gull
#

lol

#

gg

#

i mean

#

i do like the permission system of ts

#

ngl

old marlin
#

They do some things right

#

I'd use it

#

But my family doesn't

#

I am glad my grandma can use whatsapp atm

foggy solstice
crimson wigeon
#

Linked to phone number, eeek! Don't like telegram cause of that

old marlin
#

Is quite terrible imo

#

You might as well use slack

crimson wigeon
#

It does have official native desktop clients which is mighty impressive in current year when everyone else just uses electron

foggy solstice
old marlin
#

Same drawbacks

#

In relation to how servers work

#

Although slack seemed to still be better in that regard

#

In guilded chats are bound to servers

#

And while it has some cool geatures with calendars they are pretty limited

#

Pinning a google calendar in discord works better

#

Also slack took like 4 years to make a dark mode OMEGALUL

#

Similar things are possible in discord

fair gull
#

well lets hope ms aquires it and does what discord didnt

#

u dont

#

literally can just buy that by getting a discord games license or whatever its called

#

developer application license

#

rando servers me and my friends have has it aswell

foggy solstice
#

So short answer no, long answer yes but actually no then.

fair gull
#

just as a precaution: developer application licenses cost 25bucks and are server bound. cant switch later. reason being its meant for game development

#

as in integrating it into discord

#

the other way would be a public community server

#

like wooting

#

third way is being a partner and creating a partner server

#

and the absolute last resort would be a discord verified server

crimson wigeon
#

Y tho do announcement channels have any other features other than easily being able to relay them to another channel?

fair gull
#

no

#

thats

#

the only advantage

#

well maybe the symbol in the front

crimson wigeon
#

Well gee that's totally worth paying for ecks dee

reef patrol
#

Oof

cursive summit
#

I mean it is a complete waste of sand

vapid zodiac
#

could have been used to make a child happy...

#

or gone into a gpu and made a rich child happy

old marlin
#

more gpus = lower price

fair gull
#

more sand to eat = more native immunity

old marlin
#

pepeThonk do I claim warranty on my laptop now or wait till there is a newer model

fair gull
#

claim now they prob cant even send a new one lol

#

judging by how empty all the distributors are

old marlin
#

current area 51m has 20xx gpus

#

I'd probably get a 2080 super

#

and a 10700k/10900k

#

a

#

32gb of ram though

#

cause that is the lowest you can get with a non k apparently

#

dell is gonna hate me

reef patrol
#

They could just make laptops that don't break to be fair.

old marlin
#

can't blame dell for this one tbh

#

like discoloration of the chassis is 100% on them

vapid zodiac
#

dell aka "do you want a extended warranty with that"

old marlin
#

and the new one discolors again btw

old marlin
#

not even joking

#

at least on a laptop

vapid zodiac
#

or just dont get a dell 5head

old marlin
#

oh yea

#

get a lenovo

#

where it breaks

#

and you wait 2 weeks till it gets repaired

vapid zodiac
#

build pc, remote client everywhere

old marlin
#

or get an hp

old marlin
#

show me how to build a laptop

vapid zodiac
#

if no internet, you didnt need to work

old marlin
#

I live in germany

#

it feels like internet connection is still a luxury good here

vapid zodiac
#

just use one of the better sbcs, they can handle a linux installation pretty well

timid chasm
#

Is that not the case pretty much everywhere that isn't a major city?

old marlin
#

a linux installation will make my driver situation even worse

vapid zodiac
#

you could also just use a cheapish notebook laptop instead

#

a colleague of mine had a person come over to fix a laptop screen, i think it was within a few days.

old marlin
#

when you get business warranty they send you the part

#

and then send over a technician

#

ALWAYS takes at least 2 days longer than dell because of that

#

in the best case

halcyon moss
#

ah this guy had parts with him

old marlin
#

worst case you get 7 shipping notification

#

you get no parts for 2 weeks

#

then receive 3

halcyon moss
#

but.. tbf, its a few years ago

old marlin
#

and they cancelled the technician

#

that was 2 years ago

#

or is it 3 already pepeThonk

#

point stands

#

in almsot any test so far lenovo scored the worst when it comes to warranty

#

while dell is usually within the best

#

hp machines just are unreliable as hell

halcyon moss
#

ive got a x1 extreme gen 1 now, i wonder what my next one will be.. maybe a dell too

old marlin
#

only had one X1

#

was a piece of shit

#

that broke in every imagineable way

halcyon moss
#

there are many x1 versions

old marlin
#

the dock didn't even output display anymore after a while

old marlin
halcyon moss
#

there is no x1 extreme gen 4

old marlin
#

didn't say extreme

halcyon moss
#

wait.. maybe there is now

#

2 ssd slots, non soldered ram

old marlin
#

am happy with my current system mostly

#

powerful af

#

only with a dying gpu

#

should be drivers afaik

#

since I have to reinstall them multiple times a week to multiple times a day now

halcyon moss
#

the 1050ti maxq works ok for me...

#

maxq.. such a sham name :p less powerful, but call it max

vapid zodiac
#

cries in gpu bottleneck... (3900x + rx480 8gb)

old marlin
#

2080 works for me dafoe

#

some odd cut down version

but works

#

small reminder that the german government wants to enforce an identity check to make messenger and email accounts

vapid zodiac
#

uk govt wanted photo id verification for accessing adult websites...

old marlin
#

adult websites vs basically all forms of electrical communication

#

also german government is corrupt af rn

#

and once that would be decided it would take ages to revert

vapid zodiac
#

uk trying to pass a law that the police can break up protests rn... thats going well...

old marlin
#

oh yea already exists in parts of germany

vapid zodiac
#

but yeah govts arent the smartest cookies

old marlin
#

bavarian police is allowed to use hand grenades

#

for unregistered protests

#

not even an old law

vapid zodiac
#

"frag out!"

old marlin
#

that was made within the last 10 years

vapid zodiac
#

nah im guessing smokes?

#

(competition for most off topic rn)

old marlin
#

they also can arrest you and keep you in jail forever without a lawyer as long as they have ongoing investigations

#

aka as long as they want effectively

vapid zodiac
#

ah yes, sounds completely fair

old marlin
#

actual hand grenades

reef patrol
vapid zodiac
#

oh... remind me not to go to germany (not that i can or particularly wanted to before but still)

old marlin
#

official reasoning is to open doors in case of terrorism

#

which was possible before

vapid zodiac
#

i feel police having grenades on them increases the access to them which is arguably worse than what little help they could do

old marlin
#

thy don't have them on them

#

but it shows how much political power they have in bavaria

reef patrol
#

[ The European Court of Human Rights would like you know your location within Bavaria ]

old marlin
#

they already shot a dealer in the back of his head and got away without even an apology

#

even though it was completely unjustified and the officer would have probably lost his position in the rest of germany

vapid zodiac
#

that do be crossing a line

#

by quite a distance...

old marlin
#

luckily I don't live in bavaria

#

absolutely ridiculous

#

oh btw

#

they waste money on a space program

#

the logo looks like a meme ngl

#

not an official website

#

but it doesn't lie either

#

the CSU is part of the leading party in germany

#

both of which have a massive corruption scandal rn

vapid zodiac
#

that logo... "haha puny earthlings! i get to watch you from above!" evil laugh

old marlin
#

and most parties invloved are in different ones

old marlin
#

ivory tower bs

vapid zodiac
#

yeah, imma make sure not to work with them...

old marlin
#

oh btw completely disregarding the voluntary unvoluntary payments for public television and radio

#

which you can choose not to pay but only if you don't have basic rights

#

which then get wasted on stuff for boomers

#

or to get embezzled in retirement funds

halcyon moss
#

dont forget the chruch tax

old marlin
#

not a member of a church

#

so I don't pay it

halcyon moss
#

government collects chruch tax. if you are registered as having a religion. insane

ashen spindle
#

Which is why I left lol

halcyon moss
#

deregistering also costs money

old marlin
#

I never was registered

#

simple fix

halcyon moss
#

lucky you, a old colleague of mine paid that for a loooong time until he found out via me that this was a thing

ashen spindle
#

Sure but just a one time thing and I saved more than staying costs

halcyon moss
#

its not a small amount either

wheat plume
#

The tabs dont float in the new Firefox UI change on windows :/ wtf

#

I have the new menu though

ivory geyser
#

I am still puzzled about what FF is trying to do with their browser exactly tbh

wheat plume
#

oh, now it does, I had to en able more things in about:config

#

light theme too light

ivory geyser
#

That looks even worse than default Chrome UI... pepesweat

#

Who made that lol

wheat plume
old marlin
#

ah great

#

get the dev build

#

so you can complain about windows bugs

wheat plume
#

windows bugs?

#

wot?

#

This UI is on Linux and MacOS too

#

If you enable it on nightly

old marlin
#

nightly is not stable reelase for a reason

wheat plume
#

The article im following uses Ubuntu

wheat plume
#

it hasnt broken on me

halcyon moss
#

im not gonna run fucking nightly

wheat plume
#

:P

#

I use stable on my Linux install

#

Right click menu looks nice

ivory geyser
#

I am amazed anyone is still using that browser lul

#

But hey, to each their own I guess

old marlin
#

I used it for a while

#

at some point the stable build was so slow I switched off again

wheat plume
#

pages loads in less than a second
Ah yes, so slow

ashen spindle
old marlin
#

nana

#

using the dev or beta build is not the problme

#

must be something else

ivory geyser
#

I had issues with extensions slowing down FF to an absurd degree in the past.

old marlin
#

btw how tf does raspberryOS still not have the gui for the network settings not bound to the task bar

wheat plume
old marlin
#

if you for some reason not have a taskbar you can't open the gui for the network settings

#

but instead have to edit the config via terminal

crimson wigeon
#

Why would I want my tabs to float isn't the whole point that they stay inside the window?

wheat plume
#

they do stay in the window

old marlin
#

yea but slight gui change though

wheat plume
#

scroll up to my screenshot

halcyon moss
#

firefox is the only competing browser engine to chrome/blink

old marlin
#

do you at least do your reports

wheat plume
halcyon moss
#

firefox supports privacy rights

crimson wigeon
#

I saw it let me meme in peace

wheat plume
#

:P

halcyon moss
old marlin
#

was a joke

#

are they still claiming it is the fastest browser on windows btw?

ivory geyser
old marlin
ivory geyser
#

?

old marlin
#

brave pulled some not so good shit

ivory geyser
#

Like?

old marlin
#

they have their donation shit with crypto

ivory geyser
#

Annnd?

#

That is an opt-in functionality

old marlin
#

and they swapped links on some websites

#

with their own donation link

#

also I honestly don't trust any company on privacy nowadays

thick elk
#

Still use firefox myself, user experience wise really is just much better than chrome.
Just a shame extension support is very limited on android right now.

#

I remember the bad days of slowness, adblock plus was really hurting them a lot.

zenith sonnet
#

Eh, I just use Edge nowadays and it's just working

thick elk
#

If I were to use windows I would probably stay away from edge, if only because microsoft shoves it into your face.

pale sigil
#

I'd use Firefox but Google keep making their services painful

frozen ferry
#

Yeah 😦 Malicious neglect.

#

I use firefox

thick elk
#

Also I categorically refuse to use google services on chromium based browsers.
Because of that I have not used google earth for some time until they fixed it.

wheat plume
#

Use duckduckgo, they use Apple maps

thick elk
#

Most of the time they do work fine but there are issues and minor annoyances.
I just accept those and if it makes the service itself bad to use I don't use it.

#

google maps always worked fine, just the desktop version of earth they ported to something that only works in chrome

vagrant pagoda
#

I'm lazy and use chrome because sync with phone worked ages ago

#

I really feel like I should move back to firefox though

#

Pre android I used firefox starting back in og mozilla days

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

I like it

#

especially the ! shortcuts

halcyon moss
#

its better for privacy, but google has better results. duckdockgo works fine for most things though

ashen spindle
#

it works fine for generic search that are in the english language

#

coding? sucks

#

anything german? sucks

halcyon moss
#

im using it for coding.. works mostly

old marlin
thick elk
#

My workflow with DDG is mostly just search something > no relevant results > adds !g > finds what I am looking for.

reef patrol
#

I... was making a joke 😛

#

You're reading far too much into this 😄

wheat plume
#

If I use the option to hide the notch and move the status bar down also

IT PUTS ALL THE SYSTEM TRAY ICONS BACK TO THE RIGHT where they should be, so now you have all the space for the time and the notification icons
BUT the rounded corners it emulates arent the same radius as the physical ones at the bottom corners so it drives me mad
MIUI 12 rant over....

reef tundra
#

That is why you install arch linux on your phone

wheat plume
#

lol

#

See
It's so stupid
They do this on phones with notches and it makes you haven room for the notification icons
Why not move the system tray icons to the right??!!! Ugh

halcyon moss
#

it used to be... left tor right: lots of notification icons - empty space - wifi/bt/nfc/battery - time

wheat plume
#

It can't add more notification icons cause the notch

#

Yet there would be room for more if it moved the dnd and alarm icons to the right

#

But it doesn't

halcyon moss
#

hmm on my pixel 2xl alarm is on the right, dnd too

#

miui just sucks

wheat plume
#

I like it a lot
I would prefer to have xiaomi eu rom
That takes the chinese version of miui with all the features that get removed from the global version and adds the play store and google services

wheat plume
#

huh?

#

ooh

thick elk
#

I don't see a need for a regular webbrowser to access usb-devices directly most of the time.

#

unless your os is running in a browser like chrome os but not for a regular web browser.

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah the only use case I've heard of so far is installing Android roms directly from the browser

wheat plume
#

you can do that?!

zenith sonnet
#

Oh I got compute power alright

#

Two 5950X + Radeon VII PCs

#

Wonder what I could do with it

proper crystal
#

Prices of all GPUs are extreme right now. And ROCm is pretty good now, although missing Julia is a problem still.

zenith sonnet
#

Pretty good, maybe
But simply not simple enough to use and lacking documentation

ashen spindle
#

aggressive pricing to sell which out of stock product even harder?

zenith sonnet
#

Why would they price aggressively? They sell everything already

proper crystal
#

Right now, even if they did, it wouldn't affect end consumer pricing, just the revenue split between AMD and retail.

#

So you have evidence of one gen under weird market conditions, and one gen under extremely weird market conditions, and you're making a judgment based on that.

Not really great evidence for your thesis.

#

Though I would agree that generally, Nvidia has the pricing power in the GPU market, and AMD cannot realistically affect it.

#

AMD has tried undercutting Nvidia for years, and ATi before them.
There was only one outcome - ATi/AMD were left with less money to put into R&D, and Nvidia's pricing was undisturbed.

#

I'm not saying that. But you're making a more far reaching conclusion based on what I see as bad evidence for any projection into the future product generations.

fickle ore
#

I have a PhD thesis about the subject. Nvidia is bigger because its logo is green vs AMD's red.

zenith sonnet
#

6800 XT is what, 700€ MSRP?

#

I remember high end being less than 200-300€

#

Anyway, different times

ashen spindle
#

that is not the same for everyone

#

whats the fps you want to play at, are you playing vr, what resolution etc.

true quest
crisp granite
ashen spindle
#

too vague to make a blanket answer

crisp granite
#

RTX 3090 is a safe bet

#

should be able to brute force it to there

ashen spindle
#

which game, which graphic settings

zenith sonnet
#

Consoles are sold at a loss, money is made later.

You can't really expect GPUs to cost 300$ any longer when the silicon already cost almost that much

ashen spindle
#

it doesn't all scale on one thing though so you can't just say that for a general case

zenith sonnet
#

You can make assumptions from TPUs benchmark charts @digital cliff

#

They have both resolutions, see which card gives equal average FPS

ashen spindle
#

like the closes would be you see what % higher your target and your current setup is, and see what cards performs about that much better, but keeping in mind cards don't scale the same across different resolutions

#

give me at least one game to estimate

zenith sonnet
#

You are all trying to find the wrong answer

#

Go with average FPS charts, not single games

ashen spindle
#

like, rainbow6 easily gets over 300fps when hitman3 I dont even know if any single card can hit 140 on 1440p

zenith sonnet
#

Sorry I can't pick out the charts right now, on my phone

ashen spindle
#

pick what number you want compared to the relative performace your 1060 would get here

ashen spindle
#

their 1060 does 43fps at 1440p, so if yours does more or less on the games you play, add that % to the values and pick what would be ok

ashen spindle
#

for the daily dose of tinfoil

#

@proud nacelle

proud nacelle
#

already tinfoil as is, but i'll watch this shortly.

fair gull
#

cause the sources wanted to stay anonymous iirc

#

prob people working for discord or ms

#

but

#

discord already has daddy amazon

#

well

#

daddy twitch

#

which is kinda daddy amazon

ashen spindle
#

which bought curse voice over discord and that was quite the flop

fair gull
#

i mean afaik twitch cashed a good bit for integrations

#

and then

#

they thought "lets make our own"

#

and flopped that

crimson wigeon
#

Oh yeah I member that Twitch app thing that was the omega scuffed Discord clone

fair gull
#

the curseforge client?

#

or twitch client

#

dont think thatll happen tbh

ashen spindle
#

ok but to what competition

fair gull
#

exodus first

#

competition later

#

just stay without a good client for a few months

#

and not communicate with anyone

misty pier
#

man i dont want to go back to skype

#

most of my friends migrated over to discord lul

proud nacelle
#

@ashen spindle only solution to what the video is saying is to start from scratch.

#

but doing so would result going backwards in tech, not forwards.

#

and even then, the same issue would occur

#

terrifying stuff to think about.

#

and short of reading all binaries (which also has an issue), this is impossible to solve.

proud nacelle
#

here's the thing though.

proud nacelle
#

it depends on what you need to do.

#

are you browsing pictures of cats? doesn't matter.

#

accessing your credit account? does matter.

#

Sometimes I question my own spending pepecry

reef patrol
analog aspen
#

It’s not like my G Pro is barely used, my Viper Ultimate only 1 year old, my 8kHz only 1 week old or anything 🙂

#

Depends on the brand imho. Something like Zowie’s mouse never go on sale. Logitech mouse does drop in price if there’s newer version. Razer’s randomly drops price after awhile lul

#

Razer products are like Apple lul

#

Not gamers. Scalpers

#

Anything that’s in a demand doesn’t matter how tiny will get scalped

analog aspen
#

It was limited edition for GPW, but a non-limited edition for GPXSL. Gets scalped nonetheless

#

So I’ll get resell value should I dislike the mouse

#

GPU shortage is greedy NVIDIA + scalpers + miners
Problematic in that order

#

Their new Gen GPU is 3090 killer if it’s ever in stock lul
I’ll take your word for the CPU price

I love money just as much as anyone else

pale sigil

How does one have a huge roach problem

misty pier
#

i dont know man

#

their whole house is really untidy

crisp granite
#

that's it

#

burn it down for good measure

#

can't be a public health risk if it's not there

misty pier
#

they had it fumigated and there were still roaches

crisp granite
#

jesus christ

#

yeah

misty pier
#

cause there were live ones inside the pc

crisp granite

🤮

pale sigil

I would refuse to inspect it

crisp granite

There's a Youtuber who does ant farm videos. He lives on the 16th? floor in an apartment complex. Foreign ants literally climbed up that high and invaded his ants 😄

Isn't that bad

From the pic

my PC is like 4 months old at this point and it's still pretty clean

i dont want to know what it looks like with the backplate off

there's probably a colony in there

halfway through 2020 it had a malfunction with the power supply

i did remote tech support

he replaced it and a few months later he smelled magic smoke?

crisp granite

magic smoke?

misty pier

yeah

crisp granite

now we're talking

he said there was a burning smell

i don't know if the psu ate shit or if the gpu ate shit

thank you for cat

i need cat

ashen spindle

just make a dummy corporation that rotates every so often

make pcs, never deal with returns

not my cat

great idea

ashen spindle

and if the FBI ever needs to relocate to your basement you can offer them a company front as disguise with a non suspicious reason for switching every couple months

and im doing my workout during it lmao

crisp granite

ha

#

intel in a good competitive position

#

nice

#

one shot

ashen spindle
#

he didnt say in which space

#

they are on a different scale than just amd's competitor

crisp granite
#

they want to be a leader in every industry they compete in

#

sure

ashen spindle
#

nonehteless it's funny to hear lul

crisp granite
#

they're doing a great job

#

:D

ashen spindle

oh this is getting interesting

ooo

meteor lake

hm

#

ok

ashen spindle
#

software?

crisp granite
#

my bad

#

it sounded like it until the dude broke down the abbrieve

#

so, chiplets?

#

just like AMD?

ashen spindle
#

amd did not invent chiplets

#

thats decades old

crisp granite
#

I know

#

but they were the first to really use it iirc

ashen spindle
#

well the stock market likes it

crisp granite
#

shit

#

wait

#

intel is becoming a foundry now?

#

wut

ashen spindle
#

they always were one..

crisp granite
#

yes

#

but opening up to others

#

fab-ing other chips

ashen spindle
#

yeye that also was a thing already, gotta be carefult how he words it and what actually happens

#

fan of the stream so far, now if IDF comes back too, im happy

crisp granite
#

I'm gonna stop watching

#

I got a nasty headache

ashen spindle
#

bc not enough vodka? kek

crisp granite
#

yep

#

already at 7 shots too

ashen spindle
#

intel too good

crisp granite
#

honestly, I'll be fine in a few hours

#

when the vodka kicks in lul

ashen spindle
#

stock market going up to the moon

crimson wigeon

new GME

crisp granite
#

that isn't representative of growth

#

I swear to god their earnings won't look like that

#

it'll be more gradual, if anything

ashen spindle
#

nope

#

you know why

crisp granite
#

honestly

ashen spindle
#

it just went back to where it started today KEKW

crisp granite
#

oh

#

😆

crimson wigeon

Jebaited

jebaited by quin

#

ffs

ashen spindle
#

gloryJeb please clap

crisp granite

#

insult + upvote in one fell swoop

but seriously

how much of this is fluff and verbal dick sucking

#

because so far, it seems like just that, and not much meat and potatoes

crisp granite
#

written

#

that's more my style

#

thanks

ashen spindle
#

now where going up

#

if this hold for market opening, it's a new alltime high for intel

crisp granite
#

well

#

quin

#

you gonna put in a buy order?

ashen spindle
#

who tf buys at ATH

#

this aint crypto where its double that tomorrow

crisp granite
#

some people buy the dips and sell within the hour

#

makes some fairly quick and safe money

#

just not much

ashen spindle
#

yeah no I stick to long term holding and crypto for short term lol

crisp granite
ashen spindle
#

wowowowo did he just confirm alderlake for desktop first

crisp granite
#

shit

#

wow

#

but, will it actually be enough to beat Zen 4 or whatever AMD has planned?

#

idk?

ashen spindle
#

nobody knows

#

amd got a good plumber

#

leaks only where they want them

#

honestly the biggest reason we need intel to be a top dog was shown this year

#

they have much more fab space and can make a lot more chips

crisp granite
#

true that

#

if intel was making this gen of consoles, we wouldn't be having supply issues, maybe they'll make the next gen assuming they can make hella good GPUs

ashen spindle
#

HELL YEA

#

IDF is back

#

@fickle ore october 21st if yo want a date for when you probably get Ian to poke some in depth questions at engineers 😛

astral haven
#

Zen 4 is q1 2022 adl is q3 2021

ashen spindle
#

earlier wouldn't make much sense with a zen3+ probably coming yeah

astral haven
#

Nope

#

If there is a zen3+ it's gonna be after zen 4

ashen spindle
#

warhol just a special variant for something else then?

astral haven
#

Warhol is an apu

ashen spindle
#

an APU without graphics? thonk

#

or is that an outdated/fake slide where it has no gpu parts?

astral haven
#

🤷

#

Wait no

#

Hunh

#

Did warhol get canceled?

ashen spindle
#

idk I havent heard much about it either way

astral haven
#

Either way not gonna be interesting

#

That's gonna happen eventually lel

ashen spindle
#

from what I could find on a quick search, there will be zen3 refresh, but latest news was that it wasnt sure if its coming to desktop

astral haven
#

There is zen3 tr coming

#

But it's not a refresh

#

It's same zen 3

ashen spindle
#

yeye not on about that, but zen3+ comes on 6nm apparently, which is really just 7nm with some tweaks

astral haven
#

🤷 that's dumb but whatever

cursive summit
#

What is this, the six day war?

ashen spindle
#

no it's IP compliant with N7 so you can get better results without changing it, and that is important for embedded for example

astral haven
#

The point is it's dumb to spend effort on these chiplets that are already fantastic

cursive summit
#

Isn't Zen 4 getting that rumoured controller where they won't need to release a new arch cycle to update the microarchitecture thingy more interesting?

astral haven
#

Ip compatible still requires a toooooon of work

#

Zen in general is modular asf

ashen spindle
#

if there are enough customers behind it, could be worth it

astral haven
#

For a new chip it makes sense

ashen spindle
#

that leak came from patrick and so far he has been fairly accurate

astral haven
#

Offloading gpus and apus to n6 is a good idea

ashen spindle
#

so I guess rembrandt could be 6nm?

#

since that is what they most likely will use there

astral haven
#

I hope that's n5 tho...

ashen spindle
#

n5 for a zen3 chip? doubt it

cursive summit
#

Most things are pointing at a refresh at n6 node

astral haven
#

Oh leaks say n6

#

Eh

#

There will be something zen3 on n6

cursive summit
#

We'll get the holy n3 and n2 due half a decade

#

What's after that, is I hope not just stagnation lul

crisp granite
cursive summit
#

We did already

#

It's proven to be possible

ashen spindle
#

the numbers stopped meaning anything at 22nm or so

crisp granite
#

we can go negative nm?

#

wut

cursive summit
#

It'll just be a long time until we can actually go below nm's

ashen spindle
#

anything below 22nm (or maybe it was 32) is pure marketing term

cursive summit
#

Isn't graphene already below nm's or something?

astral haven
#

.2nm is single atoms

#

And quantum tunneling becomes guaranteed at that scale

ashen spindle
#

more importantly im just constantly feeling second hand embarrassment with all these billion dolar companies and having shit mic setups for a call

cursive summit
#

All the money went into Jensen's kitchen

#

That kitchen alone is worth more than many people's houses

#

A Samson go costs $40 lmao

old marlin
#

how tf are HD600 cables so bad rn

#

second shit cable from amazon broke rn

neat oriole
#

Stock cables are fine

old marlin
#

other options are
3m long original with scuffed molding
30-40 days shipping from china + import
100 euro+ customs

astral haven
#

What's wrong with the molding?

old marlin
#

stock cables are almost long enough to tape my dac to the opposing wall of my room

old marlin
#

in the entire cable

astral haven
#

Hunh

#

Odd

old marlin
#

on the inside

#

HD6XX I might add

neat oriole
#

Could always go to somewhere like pariapt or hart audio cable

old marlin
#

maybe regular HD600 cable

old marlin
#

giga shipping and import

#

might as well order one for 100+ euros

neat oriole
#

Idk I’ve found oem cables to be fine

old marlin
#

will be cheaper than the shipping

#

the OEM cable is literally 3m

#

like 1m is good for me

#

1.5 max

neat oriole
#

Just wrap it up somewhere in the middle

#

Or make your own cable

#

If you know how to solder it’s not that difficult from what I’ve heard

old marlin
ashen spindle
old marlin
#

130 USD cable

#

yea no

#

prob more even

neat oriole
#

I’ve done worse 0_KEKLaugh

old marlin
#

I'm not paying twice to thrice for the product

#

especially with how bad dhl has been for me lately

#

delivering packages from one shiupment they were supposed to just leave in front of my door as I stated in a contract in two separate package stops

#

one of which was almost 10km away from my house

#

periapt is a bit better

#

would come out to ~100 USD

#

still

#

almost twice of the product costs

#

EU cable makers would be better

neat oriole
#

Idk of any eu custom cable maker

old marlin
#

but I don;t see a reason to buy a cable that does nothing but cost 4 times as much as it has to

old marlin
#

would still pay 70 euros if not more

neat oriole
#

And I wouldn’t trust cheap Chinese cables from amazon or w/e

old marlin
#

yea guess imma bin my HD6XX then OMEGALUL

crisp granite
#

no

#

just order cables on drop

old marlin
#

I won't pay a third of my salary after rent for a fucking cable

old marlin
neat oriole
#

Did you buy those new Fantasia cables

crisp granite
#

you can get a pair for like $30

old marlin
#

unusable for EU

crisp granite
#

damn

neat oriole
#

Not enough eu people used it

old marlin
#

as what I have

#

they have some decent shit

neat oriole
#

Just like coil up the oem cable somewhere in the middle

old marlin
#

but for the HD6XX it is either balanced jack, which my amp does not have

#

or dogshit cable

#

I literally don't have the OEM cable anymore

#

got lost in a move

#

and I can't bear using my IEMs at my desk

neat oriole
#

New oem cable direct from senny is probably like €15

old marlin
#

more

#

25 iirc

#
  • shipping
#

can get it cheaper from thomann etc

neat oriole
#

Just get that and tie up the middle bit

old marlin
#

yea just tie a noose

#

and hang myself with their fucking 3 meter cable

#

they can fuck right off

neat oriole
#

I don’t think the cable would be strong enough to use as a noose

old marlin
#

I don't want all that shitty clutter on my already cluttered desk

#

it would be

#

100%

neat oriole
#

Maybe a garrotte wire but that requires a second person

old marlin
#

oh shit

#

10 euros with shipping

#

for their dogshit way too long cable

#

still won't buy that shit

neat oriole
#

Just cable manage it

old marlin
#

where tf should I cable manage it

#

my desk does not include a pocket dimension

neat oriole
#

Idk use cable ties

old marlin
#

even worse

#

you are aware the headphones go toward me

#

not behind the desk

#

same with my dac and amp

#

why tf is the cable 3m long anyways

neat oriole
#

In studios at least they often have the cable routed somewhere further

old marlin
#

why tf is it not an option then

neat oriole
#

You could always shove your amp into a dark corner

old marlin
#

don;t have a convenient corner

#

best I can offer is taping it to the ceiling

#

which would still be too close

#

maybe if the cable was a meter shorter

neat oriole
old marlin
#

no

#

again

#

too much unnecessary clutter

#

have too much of that already

crisp granite
#

damn

old marlin
#

not an option

neat oriole
old marlin
#

no matter how much you tell me to roll it to a ball and then use magic to ignore it

neat oriole
#

Learn to solder and make your own cable

old marlin
#

I can solder

#

just buying the parts would cost more than just buying one

#

unless I make like 5

#

also dogshit delivery times

#

might as well get a decent cable off of aliexpress

#

and just hate my life for the next month

#

with 3m it would not hand around

#

it would be 50% on the floor

#

if not more

#

and get rolled over by my chair

#

I could also just burn my 10 euros

ashen spindle

Does it allow you to spoof useragent and make yourself just like the rest?

Tought of vivaldi and brave, but brave has a very spotty reputation

Hmm

There is also Tor you know

If you care that much about privacy

Doesnt get much more private than that

It is mostly to limit the intrusions of privacy, in the end they will get it

To be honest, I tend to suggest Opera to everyone, but people just see Chinese everywhere and no matter what I say or link has any effect on most people.

So I kinda stopped trying and instead suggest Vivaldi and Brave

Even if I personally think that neither is a very good web-browser.
