Cartridges are prohibitively expensive around here - And so are the screen replacements for a few games.
(And then there's the issue with the massive offbrand copy cartridge industry)
thick elk
I personally have a decent number of games and also really don't have any problems with pirating old games that moved way beyond the point of it making sense.
I just got a flash card and so far I mostly played things I own anyway.
As for screen replacements, they are not that bad in terms of price. While being a fun thing to do / renew some interest in actually playing.
Adding the two I got my money's worth especially if you compare it to one single new game.
To me Nintendo is not getting any money if you buy it from ebay anyway.
or the developer in question.
I wouldn't go that far but still I agree used classic games is more a collectors thing.

watchu think about 175€ samsung 980 pro 1tb
untill we get clear cases where it's worth having extra speeds for directstorage or similar I'm staying closer to the 100/1tb price. and if we get a usecase where it happens, doesn't hurt to then buy a new one and have extra storage for other things imo

sure its not as great as the samsung pro series, but are you getting 2x the value from it?
fickle ore
Ill check the wd
fickle ore
extra 75€ is relatively little, make that in couple hours hehe
ashen spindle
well I compare prices relative to the product, so regardless of how fast you make 75€, double the price for no reason and I stay away from it usually
neat oriole
Plus direct storage will probably be with the newer gen 4 pcie SSDs
980 is still gen 3
neat oriole
I’m pretty sure gen 4 is 990
ashen spindle
yeah but work != best results and so far we dont know if it's the same or vastly different for pcie3/4
neat oriole
Oh wait nvm
fickle ore
yea I know, i was originally looking for a nvme 1.4 but there is not much different vs 1.3c :F
Wonder if they coming up with updated models if theres a discount??
pale sigil
Honestly
Judt want 2tb nvme to be affordable
Don't want big drives anymore
Not even bothered ahout speed that much for the 2tb
pale sigil
I disagree, compared to mechanical drives they aren't even remotely affordable
ashen spindle
you want 2tb nvme to be cheaper than 1tb nvme?...
pale sigil
£180 is not affordable
No
I mean
I want the prices to be more reasonable in general
Like why does an ssd cost nearly the same as an nvme
Where's the login
ashen spindle
Like why does an ssd cost nearly the same as an nvme
I dont understand your argument here
ashen spindle
you mean 2.5" sata?
pale sigil
Surely that means the ssd market should go down
ashen spindle
they are both ssds..
pale sigil
Yes
ashen spindle
yeah because they are both almost the same
pale sigil
You know what I mean
ashen spindle
aside from the controller
reef tundra
nvme is the successor to sata
pale sigil
I know their both ssds
ashen spindle
the cost comes from the flash memory
pale sigil
Yes but the point still stands
pale sigil
A sata ssd is less superior so why the same price
ashen spindle
if you have 2 things worth 50$ and on one you can use it faster, then you can't suddenly sell the other for less
pale sigil
So like a normal sata ssd can't magically be as fast
ashen spindle
flash chips are the same memory just different controller for the most part
pale sigil
So even if you magically made it into an m2 or nvme
It would still be inferior
Right?
ashen spindle
no
pale sigil
Speed wise anyway
reef tundra
NVM Express® (NVMe® is a specification defining how host software communicates with non-volatile memory across a PCI Express® (PCIe®) bus. It is the industry standard for PCIe solid state drives (SSDs) in all form factors (U.2, M.2, AIC, EDSFF).
pale sigil
So you're saying a normal ssd is capable of doing 5000
But because of sata
It can't
ashen spindle
yes
pale sigil
Oh really
ashen spindle
bit simplified but yes
pale sigil
Not simplified
If you somehow converted it
To work with m2/nvme
Without changing its controller etc
It could reach 5000
ashen spindle
Without changing its controller etc
no because the controller handles that...
pale sigil
So again inferior product
reef tundra
No? You need the controller to be able to handle the PCIe communication
ashen spindle
the controller is not whats costing the most here...
if you have 95$ cost for the memory you cant make the end product cost less...
pale sigil
Idk I just think it's still they sre both the same price but vastly different
ashen spindle
the flash memory is by far the most expensive part on both
pale sigil
Would that make a normal ssd go 5000?
Like would that adapter allow a 850 Samsung on par with an nvme
Speed wise
Cos I doubt it
ashen spindle
if I were to sell something that's costing me exactly 50$ to make, and if I change a little bit to make it much better I still can't sell the other one for less than 50
pale sigil
Which would make it useless
ashen spindle
thats how you need to look at it
reef tundra
No, because you would still be limited by the sata connection
pale sigil
thats how you need to look at it
I guess
ashen spindle
if you go and desolder the memory chips onto a nvme capable pcb then you can use it
reef tundra
reef tundra
Developing for PCIe is expensive
ashen spindle
because why make additional costs when it's still fine for 80% or so of usecases?
fickle ore
sata is shit it doesnt go thru pcie
reef tundra
Sata ends up going though pcie
pale sigil
But the idea of just having 2 nvme drives on the mobo is nice
fickle ore
no it doesn't
pale sigil
Thanks for explaining the ssd thing Quinty 👍
Honesty didn't know SSDs were actually capable technically out of the box.
pale sigil
Whys why I never suggest buying 500gb nvme drives
Controller still costs a fair amount
On a mass scale anyway
reef tundra
Not really
ashen spindle
at 1tb the cost for the controller is <1% of the total price
pale sigil
Nvm
I read the chart again
Not what they meant
If you could change both the controller and somehow convert it to work with m2 slot
Hol upn
fickle ore
still wouldnt work
pale sigil
Don't m2 sata drives exist
ashen spindle
yes m2 is just a form factor
reef tundra
They have both
fickle ore
because u need pci-e wires routed in the motherboard, sata does not have that
pale sigil
That sata drives will be inferior regardless
Even if you magically converted them
Then again I guess you're still right
About price of the actual flash and dram
fickle ore
I like the less overall cables that comes with m.2 😄
pale sigil
At least the ssd market isn't as bad as it uses to be
That's another point I guess, doesn't prices usually drop as tech gets easier to make etc
Because that's already happened once before with ssds yearsssss ago
If you have important stuff you shouldn't rely on just one device
So it doesn't matter regardless of what you choose, nvme, ssd or mechanical
Oh
XD
fickle ore
now its with water drought 😄
reef tundra
Or not having enough silicon to make all the memory chips

ashen spindle
then look at the miui site/changelog or wherever it would be and see if it's mentioned there 😄
shadow minnow
What are you going to use to bend them?
Silicone insert inside them, 2000w heatgun for it, and for bending tool the ek one seems to have too big bends so I may 3d print forms for some of the bends, hardest may be the pump to bottom rad one
zenith sonnet
Looks like you got it all worked out 
shadow minnow
Not that I did not have to do small changes and still may have to, but was planning this build for really long, first plans even started in 2018 or 19, even though the more complex form and exact parts to use I had in mind like year ago, even though CPU and mobo and GPU were not released yet, was planning to use them. But the tubing still may be really hard to do.

HE X4 is basically the same thing
But I wouldn’t bother with cheap planars
Sundara is about as cheap as you should go
reef tundra
That seems very reductive. Dont think the copper being recycled from any source is relevant, copper is copper. Recycling metals is from my knowledge much less energy intensive than virgin ore. Motherboards would seem a terrible source of copper in general, not a lot of copper (1oz per square foot at best) and a lot is sandwiched between fibreglass. It would be expected the cousin pays less for the thing, as family/friends get preferential treatment everywhere. You can get them cheaper by being the first customer or haggling 
With any good you are not just paying the manufacturing costs + resources cost but also the brand, R&D, logistics and marketing. If you want, you can use a brushed dc motor to play your sound but it wont be good by any standard.

But nvidia with rtx in general definitely was advertised as if nvidia made a new kinda technology

im still not sure if ampere not seeing that big of an improvement in comparison is because driver issues on nvidia side or because amd has better hardware/driver implementation for it
shadow minnow
But also intels marketing on thermal velocity boost. Wow 100 MHz more for just 30 seconds on most coolers, so useful
ashen spindle
but that is not intel marketing something else as their own?
activating rebar when it has benefits shows much bigger gains on amd compared to nvidia so far
same engine doesnt really mean much there, could just be from one single thing they do differently
could be enough to matter, could be something else idk

A sudden increase in packetloss or response time is often an indication of a bad (or simply overloaded) link.
Seems like the tool should be used by noting how stable the reported loss rates are. Noteworthy that some routers might not play nice
Im also seeing that with the -u flag you can use UDP datagrams instead of ICMP echos

Most renewables generate when the sun is up, but most humans need the most after dawn

Like, I get it, I do. RAM is expensive. But $6 per gig? The fuck?
Go for the ROI, grow the business, that's understandable. But holy shit DDR3 based hardware you've already had pay back 17 times is not acceptable at that price point.
reef tundra
Flash memeory has always been expensive. Its a bargin compared to just 5 years ago tbh
young pecan
Sure, but after a few ROI cycles I find it unacceptable to gouge like no tomorrow.
It's disgusting.
I say that having spent thousands of dollars on hardware for my home lab because that was the more sensible option.
Don't get me started on aussie power infrastructure.

They really need to begin to scale up nuclear power. Its clean, the waste is easy to store and keep sealed

Anything is

-the people not realizing that it's mined from the ground

oxygen is the prime cause with its free radicals
But we have good knowledge how to track exposure and minimise the exposure to safe levels.
young pecan
Do you think anyone cares?
They see nuclear disasters and think all of em are like that.
reef tundra
Forgetting that dams can fail claiming tens of thousands of lives directly
young pecan
shrugs Nobody ever claimed humans were logical.
Radiation is scary because people can't see it.
You see water, you can even eat it.
Somehow that's less scary.
Fuck knows why, dams have a truly fucking awe inspiring amount of killing potential behind them.
reef tundra
And you have new designs that cannot meltdown under any circumstance.
young pecan
Again, you think that matters at all?

Gets to hot? melts some cork and fuel gets flushed

Oil can only be profitable if the goverment pays for it

Coal is the worst fuel souce
Especially the brown one I believe
You need to emit much more co2 for the same amount of energy than if you went with oil/gas or other
Pretty good, growth. Im mostly in favor of those solar reflactor consentrating to a tower ones
Did you know that you could hold the amount of fuel needed to use in a nuclear reactor to give enough power for your life fits in your hand.
astral haven
Not for very long lol
young pecan
Maybe with some insanely high energy material.
But uhhh...
No, no it’d be a wee bit too big to hold.
Heavy, too.
reef tundra
Uranium, plutanium and its buddies
crisp granite
there
some random thing that just popped into my mind
you're welcome
shite game, ok music
reef tundra
Reep in mind that the nuclear bombs use less than 1<% of the available fuel to do their work
crisp granite
O.O
astral haven
No, no it’d be a wee bit too big to hold.
not for very long as in you would die from radiation poisoning, youd have no problems holding it up its only like 20ish pounds
young pecan
Little boy atomic bomb. If you’re going for pure simplicity it’s about as bare bones as one gets.
So long as you can get the enriched stuff it’s child’s play.

Uranium is not too bad due to its very high halflife
reef tundra
Enriching uranium will attract a lot of attention from authorities
young pecan
Mhmm.
But if one can get enough, which isn’t much, a small boy is really trivial to make.
crisp granite
Enriching uranium will attract a lot of attention from authorities
you don't say, old chap 🧐
young pecan
It’s literally the uranium, a tube, and high explosives.
reef tundra
Need a special centrifuge and a long time to spin them around
Just blast the uranium with neutrons and it will self feed the reaction further
ending with a meltdown
young pecan
Or you get a chunk and pull a Demon Core in a civvie population.

"just blast with neutrons"
as if thats a simple thing to do lol
young pecan
That’s a sure fire way to be an asshole.

again not for long considering the whole mortality situation
young pecan
I mean, assuming again one can even get the material.

That thing that was held up with a screwdriver?
young pecan
Mhmm.
Slipped, reached criticality, killed everyone around it thrice.
After the third time it was destroyed.
reef tundra
Only the guard who was near lived a long life but dying of cancer
young pecan
Mhmm.
Everyone else involved on all occasions of it reaching criticality died very quickly.
Either of radiation sickness or simple internal burns.
reef tundra
The onces inside the room were exposed to fatal exposure immidaitely
Prognosis being maximum 30 days
Holy shit 1000 rads
crisp granite
Holy shit 1000 rads
damn bro
reef tundra
The average radiation dose from an abdominal X-ray is 0.7 milligrays (0.0007 Gy), that from an abdominal CT scan is 8 mGy, that from a pelvic CT scan is 6 mGy, and that from a selective CT scan of the abdomen and the pelvis is 14 mGy.[7]
reef tundra
A whole-body acute exposure to 5 grays or more of high-energy radiation usually leads to death within 14 days. LD1 is 2.5 Gy, LD50 is 5 Gy and LD99 is 8 Gy.[10] The LD50 dose represents 375 joules for a 75 kg adult.
8 is pretty much miracle if you survive
astral haven
of what tho
reef tundra
Acute radiation poisoning directly
reef tundra
Advanced
astral haven
probably
reef tundra
Grays take that into account
young pecan
How tf did he survive so long after taking 1000 rad?
That is nothing short of a miracle.
reef tundra
young pecan
Only to a point. Enough radiation exposure and you're still either getting dead flesh or cancer.
astral haven
cancer kills rather slowly
young pecan
Unless you're dealing with alpha I'd have a guess the DNA damage is just all over the place, not exactly easy to fix.
astral haven
Still lifetime of days instead of minutes
reef tundra
Which is often the fate to those exposed to high exposure but not enough to outright kill
young pecan
Honestly, I think I'd rather the instadeath over cancer for 18 years.
If you're getting hit with enough radiation to cause serious problems in just about every stretch of life, but not enough to outright die?
reef tundra
We all agree that the safety regulations was wack
young pecan
Idk, sounds like a worse fate than death.
And yeah nah, the regs were completely fucked.
Bruh, holding criticality off with a fucking flathead screwdriver?

old marlin
he never used task scheduler
I am close to making another VM running linux to use cron for this
reef tundra
Is windows even stable enough to bother with that?
old marlin
does not have to be that stable tbh
only runs once a day
and if the VM crashes, which never happened to us, then it only is for a rarely used QA device
reef tundra
Why not make it an autostart task and shutdown when done
old marlin
this VM should not be touched by a user
acts as a NAS
and transfers the little data it has by the end of the day
reef tundra
Clients are weirds
old marlin
since otherwise the QA device takes ages to transfer the data
since it writes live
and is in another location
also 
just found out that the problem was me assuming it could use a network drive
but it couldn't
since even a permanently attached network drive is bound to the session

Questionable behaviour of these crypto exchanges imo, they're dealing with anonymous currency but not adhering to GPDR and right to be forgotten. My questions to Binance go unanswered and the website says they store the ID.
ashen spindle
think it's a conflict of GDPR and financial laws they need to follow
fickle ore
Yeah probably
reef tundra
If they have no legitimate reason to store that it is in violation. Pretty much only if required by law
ashen spindle
pretty likely financial laws requrie you to store that
reef tundra
Once you have validated the legitimacy of the client you dont need it. Since you can vouch for the legitimacy of the client, you had the duty to check
fickle ore
If they work like banks - they need to have ID verification.. but if they are not considered banks they shouldn't need to I think. Don't know how are the laws for exchanges.
For example in some EU based games/companies, the support reps told me delete all ID I posted for my issue to them and they manually deleted the ID (driver's license) I gave them, after they had verified me.
ashen spindle
pretty sure binance is a bank or close to something like it, with how much they offer with their own coins etc.

- On what legal ground(s) and on which legal basis do we process your personal data?
We process your personal data, because the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal
obligation to which the controller is subject (Art. 5.1(b)).
Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July
2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union a.k.a. Financial
Regulation (FR). In particular, Article 86 stipulates powers and duties of the Accounting Officer
with respect to the creation and management of legal entity files and for the keeping of
supporting documents. These files and documents contain the needed personal data for a
sound and legal management of payments and recovery of sums.
The processing of your personal data is also necessary for the performance of a contract to

(Art 5.1(c)).
In case of absence of this processing, no contracts with or financing decisions in favour of the

For me it would seem most reasonable to report the needed information to the EU and remove them company side since you would not need them anymore
