[crisp granite]

and you can have my 3070

[reef tundra]

Heratic

[chrome estuary]

i mean... crowbar to the kneecaps works just as well

[crisp granite]

well

no

it wouldn't

yes

[reef tundra]

Damn he need some milk

Weak, become a mutant like me

[crisp granite]

I still drink choccy milk, because me epic

never bothered to try that

but I will at some point

[reef tundra]

I like the leaf powder too

[cursive summit]

So, chocolate bars and a jug of milk?

[reef tundra]

Human milk is better

[crisp granite]

[cursive summit]

Truly gives the phrase "suck yourself" a new meaning

Or, "suck your mom"

[chrome estuary]

stop that

[cursive summit]

That's what that one step-sis said

[crisp granite]

[reef tundra]

The red scare has ended my dude

[crisp granite]

nah

he's american

the red scare never ended

[chrome estuary]

better dead than red

[crisp granite]

it just looked less like tall imposing white men, and more like ethnic han people

[reef tundra]

Sounds like a death cult

[crisp granite]

idk, I'm canadian, I just watch the americans and wonder...wtf guys

ngl tho

those peeps are scary

[reef tundra]

The US became more paranoid and conspiracy driven than the NKVD was

[chrome estuary]

then kill them all in Destroy all Humans 2

[crisp granite]

there's caring for others, and then there's being completely nuts

[dry tendon]

I would not go that far 😛

[crisp granite]

nah

some americans are really something else

[dry tendon]

obviouslt certain individuals can be absolutely whack

[reef tundra]

They procecuded Charlie Chaplin for suspicion of being a communist. He had to flee to the Swiss

[zenith sonnet]

I'd go with 6700 XT > 3070
The only thing the 3070 is occasionally better in is RTRT, but that's still more of a gimmick you may use once or twice a year at most

[dry tendon]

3070 is on average faster in rasterization. It has DLSS ( I know AMD will have an equivalent and I believe it will be decent, but it is not here yet) and better RTRT

[crimson wigeon]

B-b-but DLSS

[dry tendon]

it also has better perf per Watt

since 6700 XT is outside efficiency curve

Yes, 6700 XT has more VRAM. That DOES matter for sure

but IMHO not enough to change the outcome

[crisp granite]

you fail to realize just how fucking bad that could turn out

[dry tendon]

Actually, those patents exactly make it sound decent lol

[crisp granite]

not really that much for gamers tbh

at least for now, 8gb is enough for most

[dry tendon]

I strongly disagree

It is enough for most games at 1080p and 1440p but not all

It is also not enough for any modding

[reef tundra]

Two framebuffers is how graphics are done for a long time

[dry tendon]

It is a lot more than 2 temporal buffers and a pixel blender.
Then again let me share this quote from yesterday that I found
"Well nvidia has a hardware based solution for DLSS and AMD will have to use already existing shaders that would normally be used for traditional rendering."
This is such a high IQ take that the person who wrote that (on reddit) deserves to go back to 1st grade and repeat it till they prove their development aint slow

Apparently, CUs are not part of hardware

[crisp granite]

ok then

thanks for calling me out

first grade, here I come...again

barely fucking got through it last time too

[dry tendon]

Wait, you are that dude on Rddit? Oh shit

I apologize dude XD

[crisp granite]

I'm not

but even then

[reef tundra]

Hardware and software are not too different when you are working on the lowest level

[crisp granite]

I got the thiccest skin

so if I saw that attached to one of my posts

I'd just laugh it off, drink vodka, and cry myself to sleep

[dry tendon]

I am just annoyed how apparently gamers are degenerating to thinking only Tensors = AI nowadays and how now "If" statements make some people say "AI!"

[crisp granite]

...

no

not how that works

[dry tendon]

Exactly

[crisp granite]

I'm a gamer, really fucking stupid

[reef tundra]

Branchless masterrace

[crisp granite]

and even I know that ain't how the cookie crumbles

[ashen spindle]

if(hasIF) ai = true

[dry tendon]

We shall see how AMD's Reconstruction tech works. I honestly expect it to be very heavy on FP16 operations sinc that is supported by all DX12_2 GPUs and RDNA 2 excels in it. That and int8 IRC

I hope it is decent and works on Nvidia GPUs too

[crisp granite]

I've got a $20 bet on it being worse in terms of graphical fidelity and frame rate improvements over DLSS

[dry tendon]

since fuck me I do not want to support proprietary shit in games long term

[crisp granite]

fair

[reef tundra]

Fixed point > floating point

[crisp granite]

but if it's worse than the proprietary...

[dry tendon]

Do you know how cancer it is to run old games with PhysX or ATI's TrueForm?

reminds me of DSR

[ashen spindle]

yeah I expect it to rely on int8 usage as that is some of the few changes from rdna2 that also made it into ps5/xbox chips

[reef tundra]

Dont forget to use the pythagoreon theorem and not average

[dry tendon]

Remember that DLSS 1.0-1.8 were very abd too. However there was salt and pepper in the tech

[crisp granite]

yep

DLSS 1.x

so bad, I just turned it off and suffered with a 30 FPS frame rate instead

[dry tendon]

I expect it to be as good as DLSS 1.9 (so usable) but not as good as DLSS 2.0 on its initial version. but we shall wait and see

DLSS 1.0 in Metro Exodus original on my RTX 2080 made fire look like lego bricks

[crisp granite]

DLSS 1.0 on my 3070 did improve frame rates

but it looked like artyom's eyes got smeared with butter

I'll take a lower frame rate over a game looking like shit any day of the year

[dry tendon]

Ironically I defended DLSS 1.0 back then. No matter what I do, r Nvidia is always in opposition with me XD

[crisp granite]

tbh, DLSS 1.0 was still incredible

[dry tendon]

Yeah I was impressed by the engineering. Not the result, I admit.

[crisp granite]

just had some serious shortcomings

2.0 is fine

I've only identified a few issues in cyberpunk, but that's about it

[reef tundra]

Like having a low number in the name

[dry tendon]

2.0 is very good. It is still inferior to Native but damn nice overall

[crisp granite]

mhm

cyberpunk with DLSS on just looks way too bright

[dry tendon]

TBH this is the issue with all tech. Numbers not high enough

If you had a Wooting Three Lekker 4 it would be much better for sure

[crisp granite]

and I can't play with a 30 fps frame rate at 1080p, so I gotta use DLSS with it

and that sucks

[reef tundra]

8k is better than 720 with AA. But it do be more expensive to run the first one

[crisp granite]

wtf

[dry tendon]

more expensive = higher numbers

so its still good

[crisp granite]

I am clearly the one person still gaming at 1080peasant

[dry tendon]

OLED TVs is how gaming should be tbh

[reef tundra]

Imagine not getting the graphics card 9000

[dry tendon]

Ever since Ive seen one I started hating LCDs to the core lmfao

[crisp granite]

I got a 144hz IPS 1080p screen

good enough for me

[dry tendon]

WHy are them TV boys getting panels that make the best Monitor panels look like an aberration unto God

[crisp granite]

'specially since price is just nuts for anything more

[reef tundra]

PP

[dry tendon]

What is its size?

[reef tundra]

24.5 fake units

[crisp granite]

preferably something in non ooogabooga units

svp

[reef tundra]

3 cm

[dry tendon]

62 cm

[crisp granite]

wdym, Pixels per CM would be impressive on a 3cm 1080p screen

[crisp granite]

danke

[dry tendon]

All gamers deserve 4K 120 hz OLED HDR displays

[reef tundra]

Imperial is a bloat filled wrapper of Metric

[dry tendon]

30" would be perfect for a 4K monitor IMHO

[crisp granite]

I just want that, but costing less than 3 months rent

[chrome estuary]

I've got a 144hz 1440p and it's nice.

[crisp granite]

sinner

[chrome estuary]

whoops

[dry tendon]

I have one of those for my brother's PC running a 6700 XT

its honestly too much for 1080p

[chrome estuary]

i want a better GPU tbh.

a 3070/3080 would be perfect imo

[reef tundra]

more frames mean more pog

[crisp granite]

wdym, I get 40 fps in cyberpunk at 1080p and my 3070

how is a 6700xt too much?

hell

I get 20 fps in minecraft with my 3070

[dry tendon]

Cyberpunk 2077 is yet to release as far as I am concerned. That thing is still an Alpha version FML

[reef tundra]

Noob

[dry tendon]

There are always exceptions. IDK how it works in SW2 though, we havent tested.

[crisp granite]

I just don't have a beefy enough CPU for skyfactory

PC melting edition

[reef tundra]

Use fabric instead

[crisp granite]

*now with realistic fire sounds and smells

[dry tendon]

Arma 3 is more CPU dependant from what I know

[chrome estuary]

fabric

otherwise known as not enough mods

[dry tendon]

So his Zen 2 CPU will be the limit

[crisp granite]

yep

can't play minecraft with just 3 mods

[reef tundra]

make forge illegal

[crisp granite]

but fabric truly is a game changer

[dry tendon]

As Jester, Zen 2 is fast in Arma 3, but it will for sure be stomped by Zen 3...

[crisp granite]

for the 5 mods that support it

[chrome estuary]

I want a better computer all around. 5th series ryzen, 3rd gen rtx.

[crisp granite]

sounds like DLSS to me tbh

[chrome estuary]

all i need is like 15000 dollars to make it a possibility

[reef tundra]

All i need is like a cupcake

[crisp granite]

come to my place

I literally made some at 2am today

[reef tundra]

and all your money rn

[chrome estuary]

I've almost been tempted a few times to just pay scalper prices for a 3070 at this rate

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-robbing-mask-black-gif-13268031

[crisp granite]

[chrome estuary]

sure it's 1400$ but I can work a few weeks of some overtime and get it

or never get it and just whine

[crisp granite]

or...snag one of the LHR cards

[ashen spindle]

computex in a week so hold out for the LHR models coming from there

[crisp granite]

they really aren't worth as much

[dry tendon]

I hope not

[chrome estuary]

yeah good luck, they'll be picked up by bots

[dry tendon]

I dont think LHR models will help at all

[chrome estuary]

and sold by scalpers

sure they'll be a few hundred dollars cheaper likely

[dry tendon]

The demand by gamers and scalpers will make them super expensive too

[crisp granite]

double MSRP is still better than triple MSRP

[ashen spindle]

well at the bare minimum they will deliver a known date where you can try to get one instead of random drop dates

[dry tendon]

and unlike normal models or AMD GPUs, you will not even be able to mine back a part of the money you paid

[crisp granite]

but whatever you do

don't support the scum that scalp

scalp the scalpers

with an axe

[dry tendon]

Dont support me ^

[chrome estuary]

didn't a ton of the cryptocurrencies take a massive hit here recently?

[reef tundra]

Deglove the scalpers

[chrome estuary]

cause china is all like, "ha lmao, nah this is too much freedom."

[reef tundra]

Its haram

[ashen spindle]

yeah its down to like half the value, but still worth mining it etc.

also likely to go up again

[chrome estuary]

ugh damn it.

[crisp granite]

and therein lies the issue

even with all the shit going on

still worth it to mine

[chrome estuary]

i just want cryptocurrencies to tank into a black hole for good and forever.

[crisp granite]

even with the halved hash rates, the dropped value, the shortage of actual cards

it's still worth it to mine

[reef tundra]

Until the ones pumping the price cash out

[dry tendon]

Crypto is not going anywhere

People want it to go, but it wont. It is what it is

IDK even if its good or bad for us at this point

[reef tundra]

Pump and dump goes brrrrrrr

[crisp granite]

for now, really bad for the supply of GPUs

[chrome estuary]

why can't elon musk say crypto currencies are bad or something. Most of those fools worship him like a god.

[crisp granite]

if there was a surplus of GPUs, it would be welcome, as it would be eating old stock

[dry tendon]

The problem isnt so much the miners, its the lack of resources and the overburdened production

if tomorrow Mining tanked to 0 somehow

you would STILL not be able to buy a GPU

This year

[ashen spindle]

yeah mining ofc isnt helping atm, but not even remotely the biggest reason for the shortage

[crisp granite]

I partially blame the miners, for buying more GPUs than the average consumer needs

[reef tundra]

I blame Obama

[chrome estuary]

i blame scalpers and miners mostly.

[crisp granite]

true that

the miners are doing their thing

[dry tendon]

Well, they decide what they need. Would you say that I am a problem too because (before this mining craze) I owned multiple GPUs myself since its my hobby?

[crisp granite]

but scalpers were always just opportunistic scum

[chrome estuary]

there's a reason why most companies will only allow you to purchase so many parts but there's still ways around it.

[crisp granite]

nah, if you only bought like one or two GPUs per gen

[reef tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/scum-wretched-villany-tattooine-gif-10985312

[crisp granite]

and accumulated a collection over time

[dry tendon]

Welll... I owned almost every single TUring and Pascal GPU...

😛

[crisp granite]

but if you bought like 10 of the same model to mine on, scum of the earth

if you bought a GPU with the intent to just resell it for double the price you paid

Scum of the earth

[chrome estuary]

i could probably salt the earth with how annoyed i am at the current market

[dry tendon]

not for mining just for fun. I do mine now on my current hardware though

but I literally now own like 3 GPUs and 2 of those arent technically mine though I bought them...

so yeah

7900 XT will be sponsored by this lol

[chrome estuary]

when LHR comes out. I might just snag one second hand at what will likely be double MSRP still.

[crisp granite]

don't support the scalpers

or the miners

[reef tundra]

I wonder how severe the death spiral would be when mining became unfeasible anymore todo

[chrome estuary]

i meant to say if i can't get one first hand

[crisp granite]

once governments tamp down on it, it'll crash ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dry tendon]

Is that morally good though? IDK. I personally dont care much but IDK

[chrome estuary]

hell no it isn't but when have governments actually been morally good lately?

[crisp granite]

morality is unimportant

not looking like an ass is

governments don't care

they like money

[crisp granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they fucked over landlords because of the rent moratoriums in the states

lots of landlords are literally going broke over this

[reef tundra]

Others are waging civil war over land right now

[crisp granite]

I wish they just forgave landlord's debt, property taxes and stuff like that

in return for not collecting rent on the tenants living in their properties

[reef tundra]

Commiting war crimes even

[crisp granite]

would have been smarter tbh

[dry tendon]

I thought getting a Lekker would make me happy, but it did not. Nothing will. Such is life

[crisp granite]

[reef tundra]

Dopamine will

[dry tendon]

I already have a special someone and I lucked out massively with her. Still not happy though XD

[crisp granite]

I don't even think that's possible

better working than just getting $600 a week

[reef tundra]

When your corporate overlords demand your economy again

[crisp granite]

UBI is a shit idea

and gotta thank hawai'i for the test run

it turns out UBI doesn't work when you aren't pulling in money in one way or another 🤯

btw, I'm sure domestic US travel will get back to normal later this year

[reef tundra]

Economy goes dead when nobody got money to spend

[crisp granite]

yikes

so, you've got a job, but they just won't open or pay you because no business

that's harsh

of what?

UBI?

[reef tundra]

life

[crisp granite]

ah

fun fun fun

O.O

that's still way too much

it's literally made staying at home the profitable choice

so, minimum is still shit

[reef tundra]

If it is too low you get an economic depression as people stay too hesitant to spend anything

[crisp granite]

hawai'i was previously a tourist trap, anyone in the service industry could probably make enough with tips to live decently

because america, fuck yeah

[reef tundra]

I only tip to make the payment easier. I am a generous god adding 2 cent to the price

[crisp granite]

to be fair, my boi pinch did tell me that the dutch have UBI

but it's barely enough to scrape by

[reef tundra]

in a form, technically

[swift tartan]

are there any comparisons of the wooting 2 lekker to the steel series apex pro. I ordeered the wooting2 he a while ago and its taking so long to get here im considering switching

[crisp granite]

go to #archived_questions_answers

post there

wtf

you get food stamps and 120 hours minimum wage per week, from your government

how the fuck do they pay for that

which aren't a thing atm

no one in your hotel to tax

🙄

so

they're paying for this

out of their asses

and now out of biden's wrinkled ass

correct?

you're in a communist utopia

honestly, I'd be happy with that, if I worked for it

if the government just gave me that much, I'd feel like a bum taking it

what in the actual fuck

[ashen spindle]

communist utopia? that is less than you get for unemployment in germany without any covid extra incentives

[crisp granite]

quin

they don't actually give unemployed germans €600+ per week

that would be insane

[ashen spindle]

no I think its 450€ per month, just saw the 430$ on the screenshot

[crisp granite]

ok

€450 per month makes perfect sense

but the $600 locke gets is per week

that's just...

no

[zenith sonnet]

And we don't get 400$ of food stamps on top of it

[reef tundra]

We dont have food stamps, as we dont live in ww2 anymore.

[ashen spindle]

well they are testing 1200€ per month as income regardless of if you work or not here atm with a group of people to study if that is a beneficial thing to do

but we're far from tech talk now btw

[zenith sonnet]

I wanna be in that group

Am I the only one who misses 3dfx VooDoo or someone else competing in the GPU side of things

Sure Intel will soon join in but man I wish 3dfx didn't go bankrupt

[proper crystal]

They deserved to go bankrupt. They would have needed to completely transform to survive even if they magically avoided bankruptcy.

[cursive summit]

Cause they didn't really innovate or what?

Their last products were kinda just amped up versions of their old products

Is that what you are hinting at

[reef tundra]

They lost the favour of the voodoo gods

[pale sigil]

They somehow made it so you download images without the extension

Anyone got any suggestions for android themes

Simplistic or minimalistic

[reef tundra]

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html

The shell terminal.
never bothered about android themes, barely use the devil box.

[proper crystal]

They had two products. The original Voodoo which was souped up a little and released in three generations (Voodoo 1 to 3, including the other stuff like Banshee).
And the Voodoo 4 chip, which itself was an emergency design, and was planned to scale through insane SLi setups - as in, the highest end setup proposed came with its own power supply, and would eat so much power even Ampere would be impressed.

[reef tundra]

Because it sucks

Is it cause the Switch cant handle more than one controller type at once?

Even if one type isnt being used

[reef tundra]

Sounds like a fake hacker os from a movie

[wheat plume]

I used it quite a lot on my previous phone

its got too many features that I dont use so yeah... xd

[reef tundra]

So its bloat

[wheat plume]

Pixel Experience Plus is the best one IMO, for my use case
All the features I want and only like 1 or 3 that I dont need

[pale sigil]

Bleh

I'm going to wait till new version of android

Before I bother

[fair gull]

wait since when does nvidia use radeon coolers

[wheat plume]

I may just get a Pixel as my next phone
to have pure Android

[dry tendon]

One is an EVGA cooler, the other is a PowerColor cooler

[wheat plume]

Though a lot of Pixel features are missing due to me not being in America
Such as Call Screening and the majority of Assistant features

[reef tundra]

As long as it does phone things its sufficient. Thing is rarely charged anyway

[fair gull]

idk the last time i saw this on any nvidia card

[dry tendon]

The one on top is an FTW3, an EVGA card

the one below is a PowerColor Red Devil, an AMD card

[fair gull]

next thing we know is nvidia will use amd drivers next gen

[dry tendon]

It even says EVGA on the card and Red Devil on the other one

[fair gull]

yes

u see

the problem is that theres like 1 letter difference

and ngl

i read rtx for both

cause there was nother other specifier

and it could have been a typo

[dry tendon]

Fair enough. Now go on TPU's GPU database and learn all the GPUs and videocards by heart

I want a 14-page essay on my desk next week

[fair gull]

no thanks

[fair gull]

already have to build pcs daily

id rather not add more to the burden

and learn about dead gpus

[reef patrol]

"Good", cheap DAC? Where should I start out? I accidentally bought a short cable for my Sennheisers, and I figured I'd rather look into a DAC than buy ANOTHER cable (since I'd be using onboard audio anyhow)

@digital cliff you know your shit if memory serves? Something in stock would be preferable 😄

Basically just need to have a 3,5" (with an adaptor if necessary) output and use USB to PC (as an option. Wouldn't mind having analog input as well?)

[young pecan]

@reef patrol Budget in USD and requirements of the DAC. (PCI-E, desk, etc.)

[reef patrol]

PCI-E is an option? How does that even work 😄

[young pecan]

Plug it into your PCI-E slot and plug the ‘phones or amp into the card. :P

[reef patrol]

As for size and such. Was thinking something along the lines of this. To sit on my desk next to my keyboard basically.

Budget... I dunno... 100$ ish' is too little for an entry option? Just getting my feet wet. 😄

[young pecan]

Hmmm.

Go have a look for some second hand Schitt Audio products on Marketplace.

You can likely find something fairly good, be ready to do a drive tho.

Always remember that audio stuff tends to be built pretty well, so it’s not a bad idea to go second hand.

It’s take your ‘phones with you and validate everything. :P

[fickle ore]

I recommend to have optical out on the DAC, in case you want to bypass your motherboard's internal DAC you can at some point in future.

[reef patrol]

But... if it connects to my PC using USB*... it already bypasses the motherboard?

[cursive summit]

JDSLabs stuff

[thick elk]

ground plane will still be connected which is fine most of the time but can sometimes cause issues.
This is something an optical connection can fix.

[cursive summit]

Actually not bad from what I heard

[fickle ore]

Yep it does, but maybe you will not like USB in the future for some reason. Maybe the speakers, etc wont like usb

so try to include all input/output options

[young pecan]

^

Generally speaking I’d have to say the simplest and best solution will be a good PCI-E DAC into a good amp.

Anything better and you start doing fucky wucky things and that’s WAYYY outside of budget.

[reef patrol]

Ohhh... I feel silly. I need an AMP DAC combo don't I.

[thick elk]

I personally don't think using an external dac is needed most of the time.

I use one because I use an audio interface for my mic anyway and there is little reason to run the extra audio cable to the motherboard.

[fickle ore]

It shields you from interference pretty well. My internal soundcard brings GPU coilwhite out with the speakers :()

So I will get external DAC/AMP in the future

[young pecan]

@reef patrol Yesn’t.

An amp isn’t strictly needed depending on the use.

[thick elk]

most newer motherboards do try to separate their audio from the rest of the components, probably better than a pci-e card would.

[young pecan]

But it WILL drive just about anything better.

[reef patrol]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LP3AMC2

Something like the E10K would be a decent entry option?

[young pecan]

I should specify and say good amps.

[fickle ore]

E10K looks terrible for input/output options, can't recommend

[young pecan]

One can easily spend thousands on an amp, but it’s not needed.

And yeah, stay away from FiiO.

Well known for super bad cheap products.

[thick elk]

Define better, most headphones work fine on the standard output.
Hell even headphones people often say need an amp really run just as well without.
For example the HD650 while relatively high impedance has quite a high sensitivity and works fine on even a nintendo switch.

[fickle ore]

It has only one coaxial input, so you can't even connect 2 speakers onto it

unless its split

[cursive summit]

JDSLabs atom, again

[reef patrol]

Never going to use speakers. Only headphones.

[young pecan]

@thick elk Running fine isn’t really the same as running well, y’know?

[reef patrol]

It's not a combo unit though.

[cursive summit]

It is

[young pecan]

Honestly, just go second hand and get a Schitt stack.

[reef patrol]

Let me rephrase - The Atom DAC only have phono output 😄

[cursive summit]

He's european and he ain't getting any

[young pecan]

Magni/Modi stack can’t really be beaten for the price if you can locate them used for a good price.

[cursive summit]

Again, he's european

[reef patrol]

[young pecan]

shrugs And what issue is that causing?

[cursive summit]

UK Schiit store actually has stock though right now

But iirc they don't ship to EU

[reef patrol]

UK is Europe but not EU* Just to be really annoying 😄

Not paying customs fees.

[fickle ore]

@reef patrol an option if there is stock http://www.headnhifi.com/dac/o2-odac-combo

[cursive summit]

Schiit is sold out everywhere in EU

[young pecan]

Second hand.

Idk what I need to make clear about that.

Idiots sell their shit without being smart.

[cursive summit]

Not a thing

Again

[reef patrol]

No Schitt to be found in Denmark at least. First thing I checked 😄

[cursive summit]

Even second hand Schiits are hard to find

[young pecan]

Hmm. What grey sites?

[cursive summit]

Ebay is clear of anything Schiit

[young pecan]

No shit.

eBay never has good prices for anything. ._.

[reef patrol]

Looks like a solid nope.

[young pecan]

Marketplace on the other hand...

Yo, Gimmie a rough location to search in.

[cursive summit]

Well this is our biggest second hand market

[young pecan]

Nearish city.

[cursive summit]

Only a single schiit

Even that one is sold

[young pecan]

What city?

[cursive summit]

Schiit is under high demand in EU

[young pecan]

Bruh, what city is ye looking at? I need some kind of area.

[cursive summit]

Mansen?

[young pecan]

Idk where anything is in Denmark.

[reef patrol]

[cursive summit]

Mansen's from Copenhagen or some shit

[reef patrol]

Checked marketplace and our version of craigslist for anything Y'all have mentioned so far. Nothing.

[young pecan]

It’s all fuckin’ spaghetti to me.

[reef patrol]

Even checked our price checking site.

[young pecan]

Hmmm...

Grey’s Online?

That can be pog.

[cursive summit]

Thanks to Fleimi I got a Schiit Heresy few days ago, from Finland

140$

Good shit

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

Holy Schiit

[young pecan]

I mean...

What kind of shipping time are you alright with?

[reef patrol]

Faster is better.

Basically my Corsair wireless headphones have lost their batteries completely. I get maybe 20mins of runtime for hours of charging.

Just got new cups and a cable for my Sennheiser...but I accidentally ordered a 1.2m cable instead of the regular 3m. So... It'll reach my keyboard comfortably, but not the front panel on PC unless I want to hang myself.

[young pecan]

Right...

Ok so, I’d go with a simple cable extension atm and wait for something quality.

Budget components aren’t going to be had that’ll work great for $100, they just kinda won’t.

[cursive summit]

So wait you need an amp+dac combo or just a dac?

[young pecan]

Do some ruthless economy hunting, do cornering and all that. Be scum. Just don’t buy garbage. :P

Should be workable for a few weeks.

[reef patrol]

I mean... the Sennheisers could be run on a simple USB dongle with surround. I doubt they have the most insane amp demands. Just figured I might as well go combo first if it made sense 😄

[cursive summit]

For dongle, Ares recommended Meizu HiFi pro

But that one's also fuckin sold out

[reef patrol]

No wantie the Dongle pls. Just mentioned it because that's how Sennheiser sold it.

[young pecan]

Mmmm.

[cursive summit]

Try out this

https://www.ebay.de/itm/333997434749?epid=1607214486&hash=item4dc3cc677d:g:8SUAAOSwhDlgmh~9

[young pecan]

Yeah, if I were you I’d just run a cable extension and get a good system.

[young pecan]

Wait a few weeks for it.

[cursive summit]

DacMagic100 is fine shit

Not the best, but it works and works well

[young pecan]

Which Sennheisers are these?

[reef patrol]

373D - Basically Game Zero but with surround as a marketing stunt. Used to be pricy but plummeted in price.

[young pecan]

Shouldn’t be too bad to drive.

[reef patrol]

But I'd rather pay a bit more now for a decent lump of metal than have to replace it the second my Sennheisers die. No more spare parts after all.

[young pecan]

Mmmmm.

Yeah, go for a cable extension and just tough it for a couple of weeks.

See into getting a Magni/modi stack.

[reef patrol]

Will do.

[young pecan]

Sennheiser stuff typically sounds very warm, the Schitt stack works well with em. At least for me.

[cursive summit]

I'd sell you my Heresy for 200

Or maybe not idk

[young pecan]

Reason I say Magni/Modi is that even if you upgrade they’ll drive plenty stronger just fine.

[cursive summit]

I wonder if with the release of IEMagni the price of Heresies and 3+s will go up or down

[young pecan]

They can push the 650s well past comfortable listening without much issue, should be fine with most things that’d even make sense buying at the price.

[cursive summit]

Seriously Schiit needs to restock the EU store it's retarded

EU is starved of most pro audio equipment

[young pecan]

With what components?

[cursive summit]

Literally everything

[young pecan]

Been a little wee shortage for electronics stuff in general.

[cursive summit]

Everything is sold out

Schiit US is fully in stock last I checked

[ashen spindle]

yes hes saying with what components should they restock if they cant make them atm

[young pecan]

^

I’d bet you 32 Etherium that what stock they have is left over.

Or they bulk purchased components well in advance to continue making shit.

[cursive summit]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cursive summit]

I'll take your ETH though

[misty saffron]

speaking of crypto

[cursive summit]

Is gae

[young pecan]

Oh I don’t have 32 eth.

[misty saffron]

i love waking up every morning and seeing completely different amounts in usd on my wallet

[young pecan]

I want some to become a validation node.

[cursive summit]

China did something with crypto and that shit crashed or something

Idk I don't care anymore

[misty saffron]

yeah but first elon musk happened

[young pecan]

Oh man I’m so happy Eth crashed.

Purchased some tonight.

HODL!!!

HODL THE LINE!!!

[ashen spindle]

nope just normal cycle, the china thing did not cause it neither did elon in any way

[cursive summit]

That's what Gamestop people said

And afaik gamestop is dead

[young pecan]

rolls eyes

Very different things.

Eth will be fine as it usually is.

[cursive summit]

No one talks about GameStop anymore, weirdly enough

[young pecan]

People expect crypto to grow infinitely but it doesn’t, nothing does.

It’s a matter of not fucking up and HODLing when it dies.

But every time it drops is a good time to buy. :P

[proper crystal]

Elon did a little (but it was also blatantly obvious he just wanted better prices to buy at).
PRC thing had some effect in the recent weird spike which happened because some big Chinese holder divested a lot of crypto at once.
But PRC does this "we will regulate crypto" every year and it results in nothing.

[misty saffron]

bought dash yesterday btw

[young pecan]

Very pog!

[cursive summit]

You people live in Binance or some shit

Just press to buy, press to sell, press to buy

[proper crystal]

Crypto as investment is dumb. BTC is the future currency, hopefully - but not an investment. And neither are altcoins.

[young pecan]

Crypto makes a great long term investment. :P

[cursive summit]

We call this "money laundering"

[misty saffron]

tell that to my +30% in a day

[cursive summit]

Years you mean

[young pecan]

Doge buyers crying at -50% while being at +1200%. Lmao

[proper crystal]

Either way, these "busts" are good for flushing out shitty uninformed speculants who have no idea what crypto is about.

[cursive summit]

I'm crying at my mining hashrate going down 70%

I ain't earning shit anymore

[young pecan]

Pfff, I have investors to pay, man.

Don’t even tempt me, I’ll bitch at it.

[timid chasm]

hashrate went down or payout went down?

[young pecan]

Payout.

Eth and Eth Classic both suck atm.

[cursive summit]

I was thinking though, why buy cryptos yourself when you can just pay an investor to invest for you

Such services do exist

[young pecan]

Because you gain zero knowledge and lose money.

Also Gemini.

[timid chasm]

but if you mine it it doesn't matter so long as* it comes back up

[young pecan]

Weeeeeell yesn’t.

[cursive summit]

2 winklevosses

[young pecan]

The hashrate has remained the same, but with less blocks due to gas fees and less mining the payout is lower as well as the pricing.

[cursive summit]

I heard of them like yesterday for the first time

These people get around or something

[young pecan]

Double whammy of suck.

But Eth will recover, I think.

[proper crystal]

Except for the days when big trades happen.

[young pecan]

Aye, those.

[cursive summit]

I got a Heresy and that thing's quite sick

I mean the K371s really can't leverage its power

So got to work on something better

[reef patrol]

Modi/Magni might be the longterm solution.

[cursive summit]

Get the iemagni

[reef patrol]

[cursive summit]

Nah it's on sale

That's the Iemagni

Which is why the queue times are like months for doc visits

in NL there is a social tax, but thats not something you can opt out from as a company.
so maybe its a allowance to spend on fitness or something

[cursive summit]

Lisa Su, in JPMorgan 49th Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference
Absolutely, Harlan. Look, we've been sort of a leader in this idea of sort of advanced packaging and how do you use silicon for its best performance and feature set. Really, this is the key aspect of innovation. When you think about sort of all that's said about Moore's Law slowing, it means that you're getting performance gains by going to smaller geometries, but not necessarily the same gains that you got a few years ago.
We were very early in sort of the idea of using 2.5D packaging with high bandwidth memory together with our GPUs, as well as using a chiplet architecture to really get the incredible performance that we're seeing with each generation of EPYC. You'll see us continue to innovate on that roadmap.
3D chip stacking is definitely on the roadmap. We see it as another tool in the tool chest, as you think about how do you put these different pieces together. I think what you will also see is you might see different technologies used along the price curve. You can imagine the highest performance technologies can afford different elements, and then as you get into more cost sensitive, you might not be able to use all that complexity. Think about it as AMD will push the envelope on 2.5D and 3D packaging as we go forward because it's a key element to unlock that next level of performance. Again, we'll talk a little bit more about that as we go through the next number of months as we roll out the next phase of our of our roadmaps.

Chip stacking? Cool

[halcyon moss]

did he release it?

[wheat plume]

TIL Gedit has an insert emoji option...

[analog aspen]

mouse ETA 7 months is optimistic he said. Assuming his OEM keyboards sell well he said

[wheat plume]

oooohhhh

[halcyon moss]

yeah i read that too

[analog aspen]

Meaning he literally burned all backers’ money and is now trying to make money back from selling keyboards

[halcyon moss]

well apparantly things have gotten more expensive since

i mean, its still all shitty and so on, but.. there are fixes in the works

[analog aspen]

I wonder if there’s actual law to protect backers like this case

[halcyon moss]

no

[analog aspen]

Sadge

They’ll at least try to plummet the shit out of his keyboard sales as well

[halcyon moss]

maybe they are nice ones :p

[analog aspen]

I’m not a backer but red flags flying everywhere

People angryyy

[halcyon moss]

i am, so is @fickle ore

[analog aspen]

Personally from his responses I legit feels like this guy is trying to cover his ass

And only his ass

[analog aspen]

He completely dismissed suggested options and fixes from the backers

And finds the one way that he can save his ass: borrow more money to make more money to pay back money

[halcyon moss]

he is in over his head and he wants to get out of with his solution

[analog aspen]

Not just that. He’s ambitious too. He’s not willing to give up the brand and end this fiesta

[fickle ore]

his parents are also retarded

[analog aspen]

He’s fighting but for the wrong cause

[umbral knot]

Relatable

[analog aspen]

He’s talking profit at this point still

[halcyon moss]

could be a couple of hundred

which is nothing for the amount of time he would have put in

[analog aspen]

He’s literally crossing his fingers for best case scenario

[old marlin]

whole thing seems pretty suspect to me

[halcyon moss]

yup

[old marlin]

but might be the way to solve the problem

[analog aspen]

And only in best case scenario will he get both profit and deliver products to backers

[halcyon moss]

but maybe i'll get a nice mouse out of it

[old marlin]

that is why backing something should be done with the expectation to never get anything in return

[old marlin]

So is the plan

worst case you get what you expected

best case you get something nice

[analog aspen]

2019 nice 🥲

[old marlin]

yea

g305 reigns supreme now

orochi v2 would replace it

if it wasn't so expensive
