Hawaii was efficient. Its biggest problem was the Shit tier cooler

#

Absolutely abysmal reference cooler

#

a meme

#

a sham

#

a piece of Dogshit

wintry cedar
#

my Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 850W wasn't adequate for my RTX 3090 + 3900X PC lol

reef tundra
#

The power button helps a lot

dry tendon
#

Jester has the most PCMR PC ever lol

wintry cedar
#

well I wanted a 6900 XT but the GPU crisis hit

reef tundra
#

funny number

dry tendon
#

I love DOOM Eternal getting RT but its sad it only gets reflections.

crimson wigeon
#

Ooh that's it? Disappointing

dry tendon
#

Yeah. No GI.

crimson wigeon
#

I want the whole RTX ON suite

reef tundra
#

How hard of a life that must be

dry tendon
#

I donth think GI would help Eternal AS MUCH as it helps Exodus, since it is a linear game with fixed weather

#

but still it would gain some visuals for sure

#

and better AO de facto

#

id Tech 7's AO technique is top tier but Vulkan-RT can do more

crimson wigeon
#

I'm thinking dynamic lighting that really lights up the world during all the action

reef tundra
#

Metro Exodus only uses raytracing for lighting no more fake lights (enhanced editon)

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah, finally.. the holy grail

dry tendon
#

No it uses Ray Tracing for some reflections too

wintry cedar
#

infinite bounce GI, reflections, shadows

#

it humiliates other RT games

reef tundra
dry tendon
#

the only way to outdo Exodus is with RT-reflections for ALL objects.

#

Yes, and. yeah

wintry cedar
#

too bad the game is nothing to write home about

crimson wigeon
#

And apparently it's very performant

dry tendon
#

Yeah it also finally has good occupancy on both RDNA 2 and Ampere

dry tendon
#

The Metro books :P...

#

So much better than the games

#

and I like the games more than Jester does

reef tundra
#

You wont talk ill about the god chosen (me) game. Its perfect and flawless. Or I will .. or i will... hardcore ranger the game again

#

reeeee

#

But it could do with more trains

chrome estuary
#

ugh. I can't play last light redux

#

every time i try, when I get to the shooting area, the game crashes.

reef tundra
#

Are you on linux or windex?

chrome estuary
#

this has happened over windows installations, game installations, everything

#

windorks

reef tundra
#

Hehehe

#

Im forcing the game through proton as works nicer with my windowing manager

#

The only thing missing is rtx

#

but not for long

dry tendon
#

Hopefully it wont suck 😛

#

Hopefully STALKER 2 is DXR exclusive

wintry cedar
#

Stalker 2 will be outclassed by various mods for the first game

dry tendon
#

Probably be true but not certain

#

It is for sure not vaporware. 300 people are working on it lol

#

ATM it has a bigger development team than Witcher 3 lol

#

Fuck me if I know where it got so many peple working on it

wintry cedar
#

I actually hope it's vaporware because to me that's a better fate than becoming a watered down Fallout 4-esque Microsoft console game

dry tendon
#

Oh come on it wont be as bad as FO4

#

We wont have a 200-year old refrigerator kid 15 meters from its parents quest

#

... I hope...

ashen spindle
crimson wigeon
#

It uses Unreal Engine so it already won't have that fun scuffed feel of a cobbled together engine

reef tundra
#

Stalker is shit unless you got the mods loading

astral haven
#

Unreal is crazy good

reef tundra
#

then it is the shit

astral haven
#

If it's ue5 it's gonna be amazing

wintry cedar
#

You can have crap on an amazing engine

dry tendon
#

X-Ray was an engine from the Source 1 and id Tech 4 era. Against those it is superior in tech and inferior for development (scuffed editor and annoying QC and QA)

#

And yeah Engine =/= game quality

reef tundra
#

X-ray i remember being very good in telling what the fuck is going down, or was it the modded engine. Im not sure ahhh

dry tendon
#

Also I disagree that it needs mods to be good. Mods make it better, but stock out of the box patched STALKER > Fallout 4 and Every single Far Cry game combined

#

That isnt a high bar

reef tundra
#

If it is going to be scuffed and in need of mods atleast make it easy

wintry cedar
dry tendon
#

Fun thing - STALKER is one of very few games to get mods before it was even released LMFAO

#

this isnt a joke

reef tundra
#

it got pirated, because that is how the pirates live must go

dry tendon
#

Had some SP assets and scripting ready too

reef tundra
#

Probably the best way it could enter the market realistically

dry tendon
#

Speaking of which - Valehim and how it runs = meme

astral haven
#

Yall need to play with ue5

#

It's actually crazy how good lumen is

dry tendon
#

Can you imagine some gamers are against games going to UE5 over UE4?

wintry cedar
#

I want to wait for the full release

#

And yeah the communities of various early access UE4 games largely resist a UE5 upgrade lol

crimson wigeon
#

y tho

#

Is it the increased hardware requirements?

wintry cedar
#

It's easier to run

ashen spindle
#

because people got no fucking clue what UE5 vs UE4 actually means Pepega

#

they dont understand using 5 doesnt instantly mean you use megascans for every texture

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah there's a lot of Pepegas around

dry tendon
#

Pepega is a top tier insult

wintry cedar
#

That and many of them struggle to run UE4 games and think UE5 will be worse, which shouldn't be the case

ashen spindle
#

yeah it should be more or less the same result until you actually add nanite or lumen or so to a project

astral haven
dry tendon
#

UE5 also has superior support for DX12_2 features

#

So under equal settings it should run faster

astral haven
#

Lumen is native and nanite is a checkbox

#

Metahumans can be just dragged and dropped into projects

ashen spindle
#

the renderpipline is more or less the same, the c++ backend is pretty much the same etc. so it's basically just giving more options and more future features

astral haven
#

The only reasons not to use ue5 are performance and bugginess

dry tendon
#

UE5 is like UE 4 V2.0

astral haven
#

Well no

ashen spindle
#

and nobody complains about using UE 4.20 over 4.18 bc thats almost the same but people dont understand it's mostly just an upgrade in name and for legal reasons to change the licensing

astral haven
#

Ue 4 2.0 if ue4 had actually included vxgao or whatever its called

crimson wigeon
#

Oh yeah I member

wintry cedar
#

UE used to do major .5 revisions

dry tendon
#

Honestly, we dont need it with DXR/Vulkan-RT. But it was cool tech

astral haven
#

Lumen can be rt accelerated

#

And it looks downright cinematic

#

performance too

reef tundra
#

remove all saturation level?

astral haven
reef tundra
#

But will it be able to render the sheer size of my ,,,

astral haven
#

It's actually just a checkbox

astral haven
reef tundra
#

It can even divide by zero? Wonderfull

astral haven
#

Nah only down to the nanoscopic scale

dry tendon
#

to NANO scale

reef tundra
#

Pico, fempto, madeup term1, madeup term2, etc

astral haven
#

Made up?

#

There are terms down to 10^-18 lol

dry tendon
#

This is bait ^

reef tundra
#

Yoo thats some tasty bait, lemme bite and spoil that all terms are made up. in the end its all just noises we collectively agreed upon to mean anything

#

Anyway dont forget to breathe

astral haven
#

I mean technically all numbers are made up but shh

reef tundra
#

its a shape that does the math

#

caveman happy

astral haven
#

1 fish 2 fish 3 fish 4 fish
Any more fish is enough-fish

reef tundra
#

Why bother with 0. Why calculate with nothing. dum dums . And some geniusses came with negative numbers XD. Hello good sir let me buy -2 fish from you. what are they thinking. poking fish now thats a real profession

dry tendon
#

Math is a weird one since its completely made up and it is also fully universal within our dimension

reef tundra
#

And we know that it cannot be complete

dry tendon
#

Yes, we do know that. At least, we know that right now.

reef tundra
#

Unless we can solve the turing problem somehow without just going at some point. With things are just because they are

#

Luckly its mostly when you go recursive or work with infinities that maths become less exact

dry tendon
#

This mod resolved the dumb things in Eternal

#

where gore disappears within 10 seconds lol

reef tundra
#

Might be to not cook the consoles too much, maybe. Or just oversight.

#

First time I hear about someone mentioning this thing though

#

How does one handle 300 mods in rimworld without it taking all the 16gb of memory and crashing

#

Maybe more mods will solve it

dry tendon
#

Well its likely for consoles yeah

#

But we PC gamers should get the option at least IMHO

#

these 32 GB of RAM, 16 GB of VRAM and big dicked threads deserve to be used lol

shadow minnow
#

pepecry why

#

They fixed it now apparently

crimson wigeon
#

pepelaugh

shadow minnow
#

Not funny pepecry

wintry cedar
#

the actual cost people will pay will be double or more anyway

ashen spindle
#

they realized if they put it at 999$ like the 2080ti people will make fun of it again

shadow minnow
#

I have chosen the best year to build a pc

reef tundra
#

not a hint of sarcasm detected.

shadow minnow
#

Also not ek releasing new fans few weeks after I ordered mine. Also other parts but the new fans look lot better, also maglew pepecry

wintry cedar
#

EK has new fans?

shadow minnow
#

Also rads and lot of stuff

#

Lot of rads too, like 40 or sth

ashen spindle
#

getting ready early to be able to cool Malder lake pepeLaughter

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

what?

shadow minnow
#

But also not Xbox one x making strange beep sound that is very quiet, but still bearable being very close to console with almost no background noise pepesweat

ashen spindle
#

nobody has alder lake or any tdp specs, what are you on about

shadow minnow
#

Oh, nvm

#

Misunderstood

reef tundra
#

I miss that red ring of death

shadow minnow
#

I miss a dGPU pepecry lul

astral haven
#

Alderlake is 125w tdps

#

And mobile is 45w tdp or lower

ashen spindle
#

well, yeah for numbers that are printed on the box

reef tundra
#

Make a baked egg with that heat to celebrate this achievement

ashen spindle
#

how accurate that is was shown on rocket late LUL3D

reef tundra
#

ffs made more sense in my head

astral haven
shadow minnow
astral haven
#

And if you remove power limits ofc you ain't gonna get tdp power usage lmao

ashen spindle
#

my god yes I already know you're an intel shill, no need to constantly defend them having silly numbers when I'm not claiming they melt sockets 🙄

astral haven
#

Hey intel power limit = power usage

#

And it's also equal to tdp

ashen spindle
#

it all being in spec and such doesn't change it's a joke how high the powerdraw can go especially if you compare it to competition

astral haven
#

On amd the tdp only includes core up to l2

ashen spindle
#

neither have a great tdp definiton for sure

astral haven
#

Which is why their 65w processors have a stock power limit of 88w

#

It's not complicated

reef tundra
#

Preferably you want to stay a little away from the limit in case customers cheap out and blame you

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

it's actually just 76W on the 5600x btw

#

unlike the other parts where its 88

reef tundra
#

Intel is missing the critical intel for this story line lul

astral haven
#

That's even worse lmao

#

It's not even consistent

#

And I don't think 5000 series has any higher thermal resistance

ashen spindle
#

well it seems it was supposed to get a limit at 88W but someone somewhere made an oopsie and amd claims its a board partner settings and bios people claim it's what they got as info

#

idk

#

bit confusing

astral haven
#

I mean ppt

ashen spindle
#

yea

#

ppt is set to 76W for the 5600x

astral haven
#

Just look up the number when ryzen master launches for the first time 🤷

reef tundra
#

Dont semi conductors become more conductive at higher temperatures. Atleast doped ones do

ashen spindle
#

it's a known "issue"

dry tendon
#

but some mobos say it is 76W

#

so IDK what is happening there 😄

ashen spindle
#

yup

reef tundra
#

When in doubt assume worst case

dry tendon
#

I emailed AMD support - they say it should be 88W not 76W. Asrock says - its fine dont worry we will address it (they never did). Gigabyte B450 has it 76W one BIOS and 88W the next BIOS lol

#

lmfao

astral haven
#

Imo it should be 65

dry tendon
#

then back to 76W

#

IMO we should remove TDP since it is originally for coolers only and have one guide for cooling and one for power use or just have power use

ashen spindle
#

yeah gigabyte replied to me that it was set to 76 from amd, amd said it's 88 and if it varies that's on the board vendor so peepoShrug

reef tundra
#

Nah, it keeps idiots from destroying it and causing a house fire

astral haven
#

Imo tdp shouldn't be in watts and if it is in watts it should be watts allowed

#

Stock overlimit should be limited to less than 900ms

#

Per minute

#

^

#

I spend so much time each week helping with ryzen issues

ashen spindle
#

idk ever since they fixed the usb issues I dont really see anyone having issues

shadow minnow
#

Well, my intel mobo… was also not doing very well lul

astral haven
#

they haven't fixed the usb issues

reef tundra
#

Yea, it aint going to survive me pushing 16 amps of 230 AC no matter how short the exposure was

dry tendon
#

Asking about TDP figures isnt actually troubleshooting though

#

The CPUs work flawlessly

ashen spindle
#

they fixed all the usb issues I was able to reproduce and knew about peepoShrug

dry tendon
#

Zen 2 even is completely superior engineering to 10th and 11th gen (and honestly 12th gen already looks mediocre to me)

astral haven
#

Best case scenario they are as buggy as intel

reef tundra
dry tendon
#

I cannot speak here since to me CPUs work as expected - perfectly. Same for Intel CPUs mind you

#

Never had issues with them either

#

And my first ever AMD CPU in over 20 years of being a PC gamer was Ryzen. I used Intel for far longer 😛

astral haven
#

It's basically 10% chance of ram issues on ryzen

ashen spindle
#

also I have the feeling even if it's true that would change with alder lake, given its a change to both pcie 5 and ddr5 at the same time

astral haven
#

Eh

#

Look at skylake

dry tendon
#

which is sad cause Athlon was superior Intel's Pentium lineup. The same way Chad US engineering makes a mockery of meme tier shitty German engineering

reef tundra
#

Im looking at the floor

shadow minnow
#

Alder lake is supposed to change lot of things, also 10nm superfin. Question is if it will also effect performance by some higher amount, and if it will be the right way.

reef tundra
#

And whether the yields will be any good

ashen spindle
#

pretty sure skylake did not introduce pcie3?

dry tendon
#

My problem with Alder lake is that we have 8 pretty good cores with HT and also 8 lower clocked non-HT small cores

#

It wont win in MT vs the 5950X or the upcoming V-cache 5950X whatever it is called

#

It likely wont win in Esports or old games

#

It wont win in AAA games where there may be situations (albeit very few) where the 10900K will defeat it

shadow minnow
#

It should not be such an issue if you don’t need more than 8 high performance cores, but yeah, for usecases that do need MT performance 5950x will remain superior most likely

dry tendon
#

since there is a thing called Thread Saturation that reviewers fail to benchmark...

#

And it does happen in AAA games. It just requires their most demanding scenes

#

which are incidentally late-game and hard to benchmark so your average HU or GN wont or cant get that far

#

Its why the 10900K is sometimes still faster than Zen 3 even in some games. Thread saturation spikes above 8/16 or above 8 non-HT cores and latency takes a hit on Zen 3 if it has more cores

#

and its enough for the 10900K to win

reef tundra
#

But can it run dwarffortress without blowing out a core 😏 when you forget to castrate the cats

dry tendon
#

No, nothing can run Dwarfortress so 😛

ashen spindle
#

think in the end it could come down to how well they get production ramp up and how well the binning goes

#

rocket lake ended up being a bit better than the engineers expected it to be at first

reef tundra
#

If they have any spare i will be taking a few no worry

#

Wont pass on some free hardware

ashen spindle
#

well with saphire rapids delayed, they at least shouldn't have to worry about capacity peepoGiggle

#

assuming they don't suffer from the same issue and need to account for that peepoGiggle

shadow minnow
#

Not my cpu being in box for over 30 days now because I am waiting for mobo replacement pepecry

reef tundra
#

Dont break your mobo then

#

saves time and money

shadow minnow
#

Day one

#

Just stopped working pepecry

ashen spindle
#

yeah both bios just stopped for no reason huh? kek

shadow minnow
#

Yes

ashen spindle
#

seriously though why tf is it taking so long

shadow minnow
#

And it looks like someone else had the same issue

shadow minnow
reef tundra
#

Rule #1: have you tried to turn it off and on again
Rule #2: Did the automated system not help the problem good, it is there to maximise suffering,
Rule #3: Be cool like IkaS or Me

#

Rule #4: Get karen if you need things done

shadow minnow
#

But also it killed ssd of another person who had similar issue pepesweat

reef tundra
#

Wut

#

Rule #5: Ignore all rules

#

is it one of those m.2 ones?

shadow minnow
#

Literally 95% of watercooling parts, Lekker edition and monitor arrived while I am waiting. After mobo I will only be missing GPU to completele my pc

shadow minnow
reef tundra
#

That makes more sense. As other ssds would be powered by the PSU and not to vurnable to poopy mobo

ashen spindle
#

if you aren't going to pay those prices they are available for now, you aint completing the pc this year LUL3D

shadow minnow
#

Caseking said the price for aorus 3080 waterforce wb was so high also because AiBs started raising msrp quite high pepecry

reef tundra
#

Just make a dam model demo to learn more about civil engineering and erosion

ashen spindle
#

well yeah

#

thats the case for every aib model

reef tundra
#

Oh wait

shadow minnow
#

What happens sooner, new wooting kb announced or even being shipped or me getting a GPU? lul

reef tundra
#

Use the water cooling to make a computer instead

shadow minnow
#

I will have a working computer…. Just with iGPU

reef tundra
#

informally called the irritating GPU

shadow minnow
#

Literally worse performance than 2017 MacBook Pro. So not even 30 FPS at 4K on low settings in some non AAA games. Oh, just now remembered that it was on metal, which is bit more efficient, so maybe like 10-15 FPS on most games lul

reef tundra
#

Dont think, you would care about a gtx 950?

shadow minnow
#

Not really. Not even sure what GPU to care about. Wanted to get aorus waterforce wb model of 3080 ti but the pricing makes literally 3090 make more sense, so maybe 3080, but current msrp makes even that too highly price. So I am just waiting I guess

#

Rockstar should make new GTA V heists where the target is graphics cards

dry tendon
#

Lol

crisp granite
#

rockstar should actually make new, unique, challenging content

reef tundra
#

Rockstar machines goes here is content and buy our shark cards or you are banned.

dry tendon
#

Rockstar should make a non cancer UI for once

crisp granite
#

I was able to rush through the doomsday heists with a musket, so...

#

if that's challenging

dry tendon
#

I tried to play GTA V online 3 months ago

crisp granite
#

wtf

dry tendon
#

I swear to God I have never before seen such a shifty ui

crisp granite
#

yeah

#

:|

#

I haven't played it since last summer

dry tendon
#

Playing with my friends was so hard to do

crisp granite
#

I'm waiting to be able to transfer my character to my new platform before I dip my toes back in

#

which they did last time GTA V got pushed to a new generation of console

dry tendon
#

Rockstar should hire a UI designer that is not a moron

#

Something hard to find in modern AAA games

crisp granite
#

rockstar should modernize their AI

dry tendon
#

@wintry cedar can agree

crisp granite
#

dumb as nails

reef tundra
#

Rockstar should make a new entry

crisp granite
#

true that

#

but there's too much money in GTA Online or something

reef tundra
#

its from 2013 or something

crisp granite
#

what a vintage

#

8 fucking years old and still kicking

reef tundra
#

New game, new adventure. New mechanics to try out

crisp granite
#

still one of the most played games on the platforms it's on

#

to be fair, I like it, fun game

#

but it's old, and the community is so toxic

reef tundra
#

Which is a shame, tbh. What can you do when one willingly induges their greeed without looking towards the future

crisp granite
#

just because the GTA online money has to dry up eventually

#

and if they don't make the next one, someone else will hop in and take their market

reef tundra
#

Investors also tend to begin to ask a lot of questions when the CEO seems to passive

#

Red dead redemption online is pretty much only for those who like to roleplay

crisp granite
#

example of game's toxic community: someone blew up my nightclub cargo, and messaged me, calling me a noob
I proceed to destroy all the cargo they tried to sell: nightclub, bunker, special cargo, and coke lab

reef tundra
#

gta online for those who want to a soldier in the trenches being shellshocked

crisp granite
#

they started crying on the mic

#

calling me evil

#

listen kids, one rule to follow around me:

#

don't grief unless you want to be griefed

reef tundra
#

“who wishes to fight must first count the cost”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

crisp granite
#

why is Sun Tzu so quotable

true quest
#

with enough context you can quote anyone

crisp granite
#

I'm definitely just gonna quote Sun Tzu whenever people say I'm ruining the game by griefing the griefers

reef tundra
#

I remember that it was uncertain whether there even was a sun tzu.

crisp granite
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

regardless

#

some really good quotes are tied to that name

reef tundra
#

Keep in mind that it had to deal with ancient china kind of scenario so it doesn't always translate well to current day

crisp granite
#

but a lot of it translates pretty well

#

mom somehow ended up on some scammy marketing website pretending to be amazon and now she has 55 notifications from that site all showing random shit

#

and the website was open in a tab on her browser

#

do you think that is a virus and could infect my network?

#

it was a .marketing domain

astral haven
#

No, only some devices on it

#

Just make sure you router, computers, and phones are up to date

wheat plume
#

My phone is the router

#

I just changed the hotspot name and password

misty saffron
#

and my chair is a space ship

wheat plume
#

.-.
Should I factory reset both phones ?

#

And scan for malware on the computer

misty saffron
#

lana i usually think this type of question is some sort of a bait

#

literally just check notification settings on the phone

wheat plume
#

shes got like 50 of them from this site
is it possible that site sent a virus into the phone or network?

misty saffron
#

allow some shit website to send notifications and you’re in for quite a lot of dildo ads

#

lana let me get this straight first

astral haven
#

If it's an android you can run a virus scan, if it's not Android then reset settings on iPhone, shouldn't need to delete any data

misty saffron
#

you’re not joking are you

wheat plume
#

no...

reef tundra
#

Virus can inject itself into the kernel if possible

wheat plume
#

she literally had 50 of them
I should have looked at the site name more, cause I cant spell it now it had .marketing domain though

ashen spindle
#

lana you're linking like a dozen virus reverse engineer videos a month and now you're asking if a website visited on another device can install malware on your pc?

misty saffron
#

CHECK THE NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

astral haven
#

I mean there have been proof of concept attacks like that lol

misty saffron
#

i can shout shit in your window for 100 times and more

#

doesn’t mean you’re hallucinating

ashen spindle
#

yeah not on your bog standard amazon phising site has state of the art tech lmao

ashen spindle
#

same thing

wheat plume
#

can it install virus on the phone just from visiting it and allowing notifications?

astral haven
#

Basically no

#

Not a virus

wheat plume
#

cause she clearly allowed notifications

shadow minnow
#

It’s crazy how far the phones have gone. The display quality on higher end phones…

wheat plume
astral haven
#

Ads

wheat plume
#

but nothing dangerous?

astral haven
#

Unlikely

#

Check the notification source

misty saffron
#

yeah somebody spent a zero day on your mom

shadow minnow
#

But also the fact that my last years phone has transistor density over 4 times as high as this years intel flagship mainstream cpu lul

astral haven
#

Then it's not in your phone

wheat plume
#

they are all from chrome

astral haven
#

Uh what happened lol
Did it edit my last message instead of sending a new message?

#

Discord pls

wheat plume
#

seems so

astral haven
#

But yea

wheat plume
#

at least i think they are from chrome, I just looked at one and dismissed them all

astral haven
#

If it says it's from chrome it's not "IN" your phone

wheat plume
#

I turned off her wifi and data

#

and will factory reset tomorrow

misty saffron
#

bruh

wheat plume
#

.-. she doesnt know her fucking google account password

astral haven
#

Fam

misty saffron
#

do you nuke your entire city because of a cockroach on the street

astral haven
#

Just go into the chrome settings and hit notification settings then disable that site

wheat plume
#

I dont want anything to get onto the network

astral haven
#

-_-

#

It's a notification

wheat plume
#

I forgot to check where it came from

astral haven
#

Disable all of them 🤷

#

In fact I might as well just turn off all of then

misty saffron

that here is why my grandma uses an iphone

Well no that doesn't solve the problem

wheat plume
astral haven
#

This exact method works on every device

misty saffron
#

except safari doesn’t have functionality like this

wheat plume
#

huh?

astral haven
#

It does :/

misty saffron
#

no

wheat plume
#

what funtionality?

astral haven
#

My work iPhone had that issue lol

#

Notifications

wheat plume
#

Safari can send notifications though

misty saffron
#

i’m not seeing anything related to notifications in safari settings

shadow minnow
#

Never saw a phone Safari notification

astral haven
#

Believe it's under cookies

misty saffron
#

and i am glad apple never implemented notifications for websites

#

feature is literally only abused

astral haven
#

Well no

shadow minnow
#

Tbh there are websites where it would be useful, but yeah, it’s sadly mostly abused

#

Also on desktop safari notifications work

astral haven
#

This feature allows web apps to exist

#

And web apps are inherently significantly more secure, faster updating, and imo a significantly better ux vs standard apps

shadow minnow
#

But desktop safari… even though I use it normally, the fact that 4K videos that I can only play on full hd there usually work with 4K on firefox. Also going fullly to left opening history or bookmarks or sth like that when doing sth in sketch up and not having it saved….

misty saffron
#

apple has introduced hardware vp9 decoding a while ago though

astral haven
#

And nowadays with everyone having their downloaded apps running on html5 or Javascript anyways its kinda a waste to be packaging a Javascript or html engine with every single app lol

misty saffron
#

update your shit

astral haven
#

Just because it exists doesn't mean it works

wheat plume
#

And another happened

misty saffron
#

big virus

misty saffron
#

which electron team doesn’t give a fuck about for some reason

wheat plume
#

Great idea xd wtf is this shit

misty saffron
#

have they ever considered like.. only installing chromium once??

astral haven
#

Office online is fantastic

#

Click one button and it's installed

misty saffron
#

.net apps don’t come with the entire framework

astral haven
#

No pop-ups just installed and done

misty saffron
#

yet electron apps are 500mb for whatever reason

#

the electron team and people actively supporting them are morons

#

prove me wrong

pale sigil
#

@wheat plume how do you not just use brave

wheat plume
#

This ain't my phone

#

I use firefox on my phone

#

I installed the beta version of Snapchat to see if it had dark theme like it has on iphone

Nope .-

#

They haven't said anything about dark theme coming to Android though so we might not even get it

chrome estuary
#

What do you mean?

young pecan
#

Ah yes.

#

The Last of Us part 2.

#

A key title.

#

Hmmmmm. That alone makes me question the validity of that.

reef tundra
#

Its sold very good and was a financially success, though

young pecan
#

That's not a good metric for success.

#

If your company is solely based around creating a product to sell people for the sake of money then you have failed to create a good company. Do try not to use that as a valid metric by itself, no?

#

The game was an utter joke compared to the first one. Everyone expected it to be amazing, and it sold well as such, but holy shit.

#

And yeah, Steam falls under that criticism pretty hard rn.

#

It used to not be lumped in with the EAs and shit, but recently it has been.

#

I just want them to go back to making games as well.

astral haven
#

Companies can be abstracted as agents with money as a terminal goal

young pecan
#

Most of the time, yeah.

#

I got that piece of advice from my business teacher.

#

And honestly, it's something I think should be followed more often than it is. If you only exist for money you have failed hard.

astral haven
#

98-99% is close enough to always that I'd say always

young pecan
#

But it isn't that high, that's the issue.

#

At least not from what I see every day of my life.

astral haven
#

And 100% of companies have money as an instrumental goal

young pecan
#

Sure, have it as a goal, but don't build your company around money as a pure goal.

#

If you do that you have failed to make a good company.

astral haven
#

Obviously don't say that

#

But every company in reality does that

young pecan
#

Disagree.

#

The rare one you find doesn't.

astral haven
#

It's not disagree or agree

#

It's a fact

young pecan
#

Little kebab place I like is run by the owner and he's the only guy that works there. He's jovial and happy all the damn time and has my order down exactly after going there twice, he makes conversation and is happy with his job. It's a hole in the wall place that doesn't gouge price even though the food is some of the best I've ever eaten.

#

That guy doesn't subscribe to money as the endgoal.

#

Still a business owner.

#

And fuck, his business is great.

astral haven
#

Any company that has shareholders has no choice in the matter and every other one is forced to to survive

young pecan
#

Nah, lived in aussie all his life.

#

Just loves what he does.

crisp granite
#

the guy who runs it is hella nice, and always seems to get the part I ask for

#

charges a reasonable amount and always leaves me walking out with a part and a smile

young pecan
#

You can really see the passion he has every time he makes any food.

#

And every single piece of everything he makes is a 10/10 experience.

#

Always freshly cooked with good food, stays hot, brilliantly done packaging so it stays hot, he has some damn good work ethic.

#

Easy 10/10.

astral haven
#

Good people still can have the actual goal of making money even if they aren't greedy

reef tundra
#

No matter how much passion you have if it aint some passionfruit you just starve to death

young pecan
#

Yeah, and we've spoken of this. His goal is to enjoy life and bring his cultures food and a smile to faces.

crisp granite
#

and that dude clearly has some passion in the game

young pecan
#

He makes a shitload of money, but it's not his primary reason.

crisp granite
#

I kinda want to taste it

astral haven
#

Stated vs actual goals

crisp granite
#

be sure to hook me up with the place if I ever go to aussie land, Aeon

young pecan
#

shrugs You can see it in his eyes.

astral haven
#

I'm talking about the mathematics

young pecan
#

The math is well balanced. He's wealthy enough to retire and continues on anyway.

#

Does not need to work, he could very easily hire someone else on and not give a shit.

astral haven
#

So his goal is to make money

young pecan
#

But he does anyway, his reasoning is that he's already got money so why try and get more he doesn't want or need?

crisp granite
#

and props to him

young pecan
#

And no, dude. His goal isn't money it's enjoying what he has down to a craft.

crisp granite
#

not many get to do that nowadays

astral haven
#

Dude

#

That's not how things work

young pecan
#

His food is priced extremely well, man. His wealth doesn't come from him wanting money, it comes from him having constant customers all the time forever.

astral haven
#

Thats not how it works

#

You don't just get to increase prices and then money goes up

#

That's usually the opposite of how it works

young pecan
#

rolls eyes You'd be surprised.

#

I'd bet a kidney that if he pushed his kebabs and HSPs up to $30 each the business wouldn't shift at all.

#

It's still the best middle eastern food in a 400 kilometre radius.

#

So...

astral haven
#

🤷 you'd be surprised

#

Math predicts reality extremely accurately whether you like it or not

young pecan
#

It does, yeah.

#

But he's wealthy enough to retire already.

#

He doesn't actually need to work.

#

Does it anyway.

reef tundra
#

What a commie

young pecan
#

@prisma crag Haven't asked much of that, but from what I understand he has a kid.

#

No grandkids, too young for that yet.

#

Haven't asked, couldn't tell you.

#

Only been there a few times now, will keep you posted.

#

My roommate is.

#

I only moved up year a month and a bit ago.

astral haven
#

Show me the math and I'll concede

#

But fact is statistics and economics are far more accurate predictors than pretty much anything else

reef tundra
# astral haven You don't just get to increase prices and then money goes up

Depends on the price elasticity of the market what you should do with the price. Between 0 and 1, you can raise it as much you want and expected profit should be increasing. If it is more than 1 the market is elastic and depending on how much it is can mean you lose too many customers and didnt fill that gap with the price increase. When it is exactly 1 its called isoelastic which is more a theoretical concept.

young pecan
#

Well, a single HSP (most popular item by far) is between $20 and $25 AUD, we're looking at well over 80 of them a day upwards of 200 on the busy days a couple times a week. Call it 120 average across the board. This puts yearly earnings of a hole in the wall place run by one guy at a million dollars a year without factoring in any other menu items, drinks, specials, etc.

astral haven
#

Revenue

young pecan
#

Or any sports events.

#

Then we have to consider how much the joint is costing to rent.

astral haven
#

A million bucks revenue is tiiiiny

#

Specially in food

young pecan
#

raised eyebrow Run by a single person in a tiny hole in the wall?

#

Yeah no.

#

That's respectable.

astral haven
#

Revenue

young pecan
#

Realistically we're probably looking at high 1.8m yearly.

astral haven
#

Revenue

young pecan
#

Operational costs probably suck 60% of that at most.

astral haven
#

Lmao

young pecan
#

Which leaves an impressive amount of leftover.

astral haven
#

Have you ever worked in a business?

#

Like ever?

young pecan
#

Mhmm, I'm aware of the costs.

astral haven
#

Food is horrific

young pecan
#

No shit.

reef tundra
#

Food regulations even worse

astral haven
#

There's so much that a normal business would be able to handwave as externalities

young pecan
#

Never been to aussieland, have you?

#

All of that is surprisingly cheap here.

astral haven
#

You'd be surprised

young pecan
#

The most expensive part of running a business here is licence costs and rent.

#

I factored that in, mate.

astral haven
#

For a food business

#

That's not possible at all

young pecan
#

Yes, for a food business. A very small food business that doesn't incur a lot of the wrath that the aussieland government will throw at bigger food businesses.

#

Same health reg laws, but the licence fees go WAY down when you shrink a business.

reef tundra
#

With food you want to be the middlemen either other side sucks ass

young pecan
#

I wouldn't wager the rent of that shop being anything above 6 grand monthly.

#

It's in a pretty good area regardless.

reef tundra
#

Depreciation included?

young pecan
#

Mhmm.

#

Dude, business ownership in aussie isn't that bad.

#

Food is worse than a lot of the other kinds, sure.

#

But it's not unmanageable.

astral haven
#

You saying that means that I know for a fact you never looked at a balance sheet of a food business

#

It's mental

young pecan
#

Very wrong.

reef tundra
#

Doesnt 80% of food related bussinesses close down in their first year?

young pecan
#

Know a guy that manages a pub, reasonably good income on it, middling business. Have had a look over their earnings and payments a good few times.

#

It's surprisingly little.

#

And yeah, but that's more like 80% of damn near all business.

#

It's a hard thing to make work.

#

Little kebab joint managed to find a golden goose in HSPs and just cooks them that well that the other options just kinda suck in comparison.

reef tundra
#

Usually you would be personally responsable for the debt as well

young pecan
#

Mmm.

#

Depends how you setup your company.

#

If you're a sole business owner iirc you take responsibility unless you're liability limited.

reef tundra
#

Unless you have a lot of money lying around its too much effort

young pecan
#

Same for partnerships and corporations.

#

But that also comes with issues.

astral haven
#

Idk any food place that doesn't have a fridge I wouldn't come within 100 feet of

young pecan
#

...

#

sigh

reef tundra
#

Dont need a fridge when you have salt

young pecan
#

That's an up front expense, dude. And the misc licencing and checks don't cost that much in Aussie.

#

The check is maybe getting one dude in to have a look at it, take some pics, and fill out a form.

#

I had to do the training for that job.

astral haven
#

What

young pecan
#

It maybe takes an hour or two, and it's not actually a difficult task keeping shit up to snuff.

reef tundra
#

Here they are pretty stringent with that kind of thing

astral haven
#

Is your electricity free or something?

young pecan
#

Electricity doesn't cost all that much either, man.

reef tundra
#

as you can set up some new company and let the old one die out with all the debt

young pecan
#

Idk what's wrong with your country, but the electricity cost isn't super high for businesses.

#

It used to be, then our government interjected because it was causing small businesses issues.

#

And remember, aussieland government loves small business.

astral haven
#

The fridge running expenses was the biggest single item on the balance sheet my econ teacher showed us from a local business

young pecan
#

Mhmm, and what business was that?

#

Kebab places maybe need a small set of fridges and freezers, you're not trying to chill an entire room.

astral haven
#

It was a food place in our town

young pecan
#

Mmm, how much was it annually?

reef tundra
astral haven
#

To be fair they split up everything a ton

#

It was only like 40k?

#

But that's still a ton

young pecan
#

Bruh.

astral haven
#

And it was mostly electricity? I think I asked them

reef tundra
#

How large was that room?

young pecan
#

Cause like, aussie businesses pay around $0.2 AUD per kWh with a max of 30,000 per annum.

#

After that the price goes up but even in horrible places like Sydney it's not known to go beyond 40 cents for businesses, and that shit doesn't tend to last.

#

Legally we can push 33 cents per kWh.

#

It really isn't that expensive.

astral haven
#

I did eat at the place once but you can't see the fridge from the dining room

young pecan
#

But still, an average million dollars a year from just HSPs alone and you're getting confused at a tiny electricity cost to run a few cooking appliances.

#

Ok, let's say you're actually right and the annual power bill is 200k, that still puts the business well in the green.

#

So you'll forgive me if I'm confused about your point.

astral haven
#

In the green yes

#

But not thriving

young pecan
#

Pffff.

#

1.8m a year with shit all operating cost, at most you might see 40% of that number vanish.

#

Yes, not thriving.

#

With one employee.

astral haven
#

Yea no

young pecan
#

Point being the owner doesn't actually care. He has his fortune to do what he wants, apparently he just likes making kebabs and whatnot.

astral haven
#

200k auzzie operating income excluding externalities if that 1.8m revenue is correct

young pecan
#

Mmmm, no.

#

I said just 200k on power.

#

Including everything else we bump to a LOT more.

#

Which still puts the business very much in the green.

#

Thriving, one might even say.

astral haven
#

Guy can't be paying less less 500k a year for ingredients

young pecan
#

You'd be surprised.

astral haven
#

Specially in auzzieland

reef tundra
#

Meat is expensive

young pecan
#

Slaughterhouse near where I live that does real good prices.

#

Everything using meat is great here.

#

I'd wager not more than 400k annually.

#

For meat, specifically.

astral haven
#

So 500k for ingredients is pretty low estimate

young pecan
#

Wouldn't say low.

astral haven
#

Look

young pecan
#

Probably around the mark.

astral haven
#

It's expensive

reef tundra
#

Meat, Fish and such are the most costly ingredient even in bulk

astral haven
#

And obviously he's doing good, but it's definetly not "can retire at 50"

reef tundra
#

Atleast here in Europe it is

young pecan
#

It'll be expensive but do the math. That still isn't chipping more than 70% at very worst case.

#

And no, heavy disagree with you.

#

His profits as the owner and his super would have net him millions by now.

#

One can retire from 40 with 3m AUD here.

#

Just gotta be somewhat smart about how you actually use the money.

#

And I know that shop has been there for at least a decade, he's likely earned at least 2 million off it in that time since he's apparently been content to just sit there and not expand to a bigger company.

reef tundra
#

Corperate taxes, income taxes, fire insurance, unemployment insurance, pensions are knocking

young pecan
#

F

astral haven
#

Uh

reef tundra
#

Recently the government abolished corporate taxes (mostly to simp for shell, unilever and the like), income tax only applies after a threshold, but insurances does have to be paid. and pensions are required unless freelancing or you own the company.

#

Also a large cost you have to account for is improper storage of the meat, thus having to destroy it for health concerns

young pecan
#

This is actually such an off topic Discord...

#

So yeah.

#

reef tundra
#

Do you have an obd-II reader?

young pecan
#

Nope, but I do have a crypto miner spitting a lovely 70% fail rate at me.

#

reef tundra
#

I would always check the obd-II before buying an used car

#

It allows you to see a lot what the car has went through

young pecan
#

I do know a friend of my roommate has one.

#

shrugs I'm not a car guy.

#

I like reptiles and PCs more than I like cars.

#

All I know is it's 43 grand and it makes my eyes water.

astral haven
young pecan
#

Looks like a memory problem.

#

Ah

#

Local failures not invalid blocks

young pecan
#

Unless you know why Nanominer would be freaking out hard at 2 3070s?

reef tundra
#

What if you forced the router to refresh everything again?

young pecan
#

I have it running on Hive with a 1060 and 1080 on Ethlargement just fine.

#

But on my personal rig it's trying to panic.

reef tundra
#

Do you have an igpu on your cpu?

young pecan
#

Nah.

#

It's a 3900X.

astral haven
#

Big sad

#

Oh God that's right shoot tr won't have an igpu

#

Faaaak

young pecan
#

Yeeee

#

Have fun dealing with that. :P

reef tundra
#

Does the program demand full unadultarated access to the GPUs?

astral haven
#

Nah

young pecan
#

Mmmm. Might have been the overclock.

astral haven
#

But it prefers it

#

Well yea

young pecan
#

Defaulting overclock fixes it, but that OC is stable.

astral haven
#

Overclocks do tend to be unstable

young pecan
#

3070 -500 core, 1300 memory, 55% power.

#

Stable on all cards in the network running T-Rex.

astral haven
#

How did you test the memory

young pecan
#

Just not for Nanominer...

astral haven
#

+1300 is bonkers for g6

young pecan
#

Every card runs it fine.

#

Except the one Gigabyte Gaming OC, that doesn't do anything except 1200.

astral haven
#

What application did you use to stability test

young pecan
#

AIDA.

#

Everything checks fine.

reef tundra
#

Im suspecting the system and mining software dont realise they are sharing memory

astral haven
#

No I mean stability test not temperature check

young pecan
#

I think it might be a thing where Nanominer doesn't like EVGA XOC.

reef tundra
#

overwriting eachother

young pecan
#

Thonk I'll run the OC through the ini and we'll see what that does.

astral haven
#

No pincus that doesn't work that way

young pecan
#

And nah man, AIDA is fairly good for rough stability testing.

astral haven
#

Lol

#

Oh you aren't joking

young pecan
#

Won't give me anything exact, but I don't exactly need it atm.

astral haven
#

Yea you need to run an actual stability test

young pecan
#

Still early phases.

astral haven
#

Mining goes hard on vram

#

Aida64 doesn't

young pecan
#

Was more checking to see if it doesn't outright crash the entire system.

astral haven
#

Aida64 is generally about average for stress but it's awful for error checking

young pecan
#

Haven't been doing fine tests as of yet because a heap of stuff needs to happen still.

reef tundra
#

Gpu's are pretty robust

young pecan
#

Need to work out power delivery before much else. 3080s are gonna cause me problems.

astral haven
#

You can run Turing and above 200 mhz out of stability

young pecan
#

I can almost goddamn smell it.

astral haven
#

And have zero issues

reef tundra
#

They really dont like you going out of bounds though

astral haven
#

Nah they let you go waaaay out of stability before even visibly glitches out

#

My 3090 and 2080ti can both run 1200 easy
But the 2080ti drops performance above +800

#

3090 drops at 1250 but when it hits 100c it takes a dump and it hits 100c easy at 1250

young pecan
#

How're you handling the VRAM temp on that 3090?

#

Also now we wait and see if the 3070s have overclock stability.

astral haven
#

Watch the hashrate and drop the clock 50mhz

#

If the hashrate stays the same leave it there

young pecan
#

raised eyebrow With the 3090 VRAM running above 100c?

reef tundra
#

Thats right memory doesnt like heat. Makes the thing every unstable

astral haven
young pecan
#

Ah.

#

My fail.

astral haven
#

The vram temp hit over 100 easy at 1250 so I dropped it to 1200

#

And it only barely hits 100 the warmest times of day

young pecan
#

Mm, my 3070 hashrates with -500 core, 1300 mem, 55% power runs at around about 63.5MH/s.

#

Stable.

#

Not many ways to push the cards much further than that.

#

There are a few people capable of tuning them to 65MH/s, but...

astral haven
#

Drop the mem to 1250 and watch the hashrate

#

It may very well go up

young pecan
#

Done. We'll see what happens.

astral haven
#

I wish nvidia would report vram corrected errors but they don't so we have to rely on performance testing

reef tundra
astral haven
#

How many times do I have to explain to people that tcase isn't tdie

young pecan
#

Right, 1250 drops MH/s down to 56.

#

Mmmm. Think I might need to do further optimisations.

astral haven
#

Yikes

reef tundra
#

If you look more carefully its DDR4 memory. Just looked up some data sheet to see what temperature they are rated to operate on, roughly. Also interresting to read is the manufacturer warns about.

#

There are also versions that go to maximum of 125C for military use

young pecan
#

Remember that time Steve from GN managed to force VRAM on a 1000 series GPU upwards of 122c before the PC decided no.

reef tundra
#
  1. If TC exceeds 85°C, the DRAM must be refreshed externally at 2X refresh, which is a 3.9µs
    interval refresh rate.
  2. The refresh rate must double when 85°C < TOPER ≤ 95°C.
    Maybe useful?
young pecan
#

Iirc it was a 1080 or something.

reef tundra
#

Whatever the datasheet tell you the ranges are is just what they can garentuee it being able to handle. How much further the actual hardware will pull beyond those ranges is not their problem

astral haven
#

yes but also they report case temperatures

#

theres a gigantic difference between the temperature of the case and the temperature of the capacitors

reef tundra
#

Even when under long period of time?

astral haven
#

yes

#

my gpu has a case temperature of 63c and a hotspot temperature of 77c for example

#

the numbers you are used to from intel and gpus arent true tjunctions

#

micron is just correctly saying tcmax instead of tjmax

young pecan
#

Aight bois, I have it stable and mining Eth-Zil.

#

Both cards at +1300 mem, -500 core, 60% power.
Hashrate in the low 60s. Usually between 61 and 63MH/s.

reef tundra
#

Which they tell you in note 1

astral haven
#

yup

#

intel foolishly calls their temperature tjmax even tho it isnt

reef tundra
#

The casing could be the core of the sun, but if the active components are still within the temperature range they wont care. Even with the knowledge that it will be turned to plasma the next moment.

astral haven
#

yup

#

the higher the power the components the higher the difference

#

but also the worse thermally conducting the case is the larger the difference

#

vram and dram have pretty awful conduction

#

except hbm

reef tundra
#

Semiconductors are weird when it comes to electric conductivity over the temperature.

young pecan
#

Just submerge the PC in mineral oil, 4head. ok69

astral haven
#

mineral oil has a freezing point usually

young pecan
#

Undo temperature.

astral haven
#

and it gets very very viscous long before it freezes

young pecan
#

Those sound like problems a reasonable man would think about.

reef tundra
#

Helium doesnt (under atmospheric pressure)

young pecan
#

Well, not too problematic.

young pecan
#

Yeeeeeeeee

#

No rejected shares at all, both cards running 63MH/s.

No errors of any kind.

The one I send is called the 7W2

old marlin
#

ah

#

is sold as a 13W3 one on a site

#

prob false listing then

#

but yea besides being actual RGB it is not a good video connector

reef tundra
#

7 conductors in total, 2 are able to carry lots of power

chrome estuary
#

What would you use it for?

reef tundra
#

but the 13W3 seems to be completely nonstandard.

old marlin
#

I would assume 7W2 can be useful in DAQ cases?

#

where you have a main box with your computer/PLC and an external measuring module

reef tundra
#

Carry power and signal together. in one cable.

#

They are pretty common in industrial applications. Usually as DB9

chrome estuary
#

So what it would be like the old apple G4 cube monitor?

reef tundra
#

VGA has the pins at a different distance/pitch from eachother than DB9

#

Officially VGA used the DE-15 connector.

#

or atleast thats what it became to be called that

old marlin
#

but there is no official pinout

#

so even though the connector was used in a lot of systems most of them are nto compatible

#

and can even kill hardware if you just connect them

reef tundra
#

Atleast industrial devices have to ruggedise their in- and outputs.

#

but you wont know what does what unless you got the pin out by the manufacturer or by trail and error. Could be a relais, lamp, communication port, power or not even connected to anything.

parallel download is neat :D

python pepesweat

wheat plume
#

I need it for work :/

reef tundra
#

Work in C

#

Great stuff

wheat plume
#

x to doubt

reef tundra
#

Atleast its not Java

wheat plume
#

Im far better in Java than Python

reef tundra
#

Java objectifies strings

#

Just because it can

#

I cant emotionally deal with the struggle of strings in Java

wheat plume
#

I cant fucking deal with Pandas framework and its stupid inconsistencies

reef tundra
#

When I found out there was a function to cast strings into character arrays in java.

ashen spindle
#

sure at first it sounds nice to have just an index to work with on strings, but personally once you need to actually do any sort of string handling beyond changing a character, I MUCH prefer the C# way over C

reef tundra
#

You can do quite a lot of things to form, extract and interpret strings in C. But it aint to good when you need to fuzzy find with strings.

halcyon moss
#

strings are a non issue really in Python3. it has good support for unicode.

reef tundra
#

And you need to be very carefull with string in c in general. Loads of safe variants of functions had to be added as they had no check on going out of bounds.

#

Not too big of an issue if you stay inside what the operating system alloted you

#

Where you would get the segfault core dumped message

reef patrol
#

Oh ffs... Chrome's hiding toggle flags now.

halcyon moss
#

its becoming less and less good for the user

reef patrol
#

Used to be able to hide their tab search button...now they've removed the toggle for it.

reef tundra
#

Officer dont look in the basement there is definitely no crime happening there.

reef patrol
#

And these fucking buttons IN THE URL field.

Can't disable most of them.

#

Reminds me of firefox getting a worse ui every redesign.

reef tundra
#

You can change the it but you neeed to do some shenenigans to be able to have a) it read the userChrome.css file. and b) care to use the thing

thick elk
#

I may at some point, I got along somewhat fine with the previous ui but the changes to especially the tab bar this time around, however most of the time I do get used to it

reef tundra
#

It would be nice that you can choose which you would like to use

thick elk
#

If I change it it's going to be tabs on bottom, and removing the hamburger menu which I don't use.

#

At the very least firefox is still a lot more flexible than chrome on the ui department

pale sigil
#

Firefox quantum was good

thick elk
#

I feel like they were too focused on visualizing when a tab is playing media with this one and forgot to actually make it look coherent / use space efficient.

wheat plume
#

Speaking of Firefox, I just got the Proton redesign in stable version

thick elk
#

that's also why they say compact mode is unsuported

reef tundra
#

Also didnt google recently just told everyone to get fucked and revoked a lot of dev keys and made the google services only possible on chrome itself

pale sigil
#

It's what got me into Firefox finally however Firefox runs like shit now

pale sigil
#

At least with Google stuff due to Google being awful

thick elk
#

This is just me but Google stuff running crap on it is an extra reason for me to use it.

reef tundra
#

Firefox just seems to lack a clear goal to strive to. it just floats about in the sea doing whatever

thick elk
#

I just see it as how google stuff performs and ignore that it may run better within their own ecosystem.

pale sigil
#

I just use brave

reef tundra
#

brave is chromium based

pale sigil
#

Ik

reef tundra
#

Why the sudden did they crackdown though?

pale sigil
#

Wdym

reef tundra
#

They gave those devkeys out for years

pale sigil
#

Again what

wheat plume
# pale sigil Again what

Google are removing access to Google things from Chromium browsers
so no chromecasting or google pay support

#

or syncing accounts and passwords

pale sigil
#

Oh

halcyon moss
#

that all very specific google stuff

pale sigil
#

Brave removed all of that years ago tho

#

That's kinda one of the whole things about brave

wheat plume
halcyon moss
#

and i want none of it! 😛

pale sigil
#

Same lol

#

I miss Firefox containers so much

ashen spindle
#

TIL float.PositiveInfinity apparently equals 3.4

reef tundra
wheat plume
#

🤦🏼‍♀️

thick elk
#

Honestly firefox still works fine for me, could be better but still the best option for me for now.
Sure google services may have their hickups but they mostly work fine.
I just wish they doubled down on their openness, flexibility and extendability.
Work with the community more and listen to them.

wheat plume
#

its still in the repo.... so hmm

reef tundra
#

They even fucked over the personal side, backstabingg the guy

halcyon moss
#

its a good browser, it works well, it respects privacy, it has good dev tools, it is fast enough

wheat plume
#

cant login with account?

reef tundra
wheat plume
#

Dafuq

pale sigil
thick elk
#

Works fine for me at least

reef tundra
#

mpv can do the streaming

pale sigil
#

Might have changed now

#

Mpv is effort

wheat plume
#

use MPV :D its great

pale sigil
#

Because I cba grabbing links and putting them into mpv

#

I just wanna navigate YouTube and play videos

reef tundra
#

I like that i can play all audiofiles/images/videos by just telling it folder/* as target

thick elk
#

you can do the same with vlc btw

pale sigil
#

Aye

#

You can with most video players

wheat plume
#

What issues do you have with youtube in firefox?

pale sigil
#

had

Terrible page response (Laggy)
Buffering (wasn't a bandwidth issue)
Laggy player
Site freezing

#

I tried everything and it never worked properly

#

I wasn't the only one

#

Only in FF

halcyon moss
#

it is slower to load in ff, but that is because youtube uses a outdated chrome only api.

pale sigil
#

However I heavily used containers

cursive summit
wheat plume
#

Use an isolated SSB for youtube using chrome as the backend

cursive summit
#

Doesn't this kill the battery or something

wheat plume
#

thats what I do

pale sigil
#

@brazen vapor W10

cursive summit
#

Just throwing as much power at the battery as possible can't be healthy for battery longevity

pale sigil
#

My solution used to be forcing an old version of YouTube

#

But youtube discontinued it

reef tundra
#

Usually, heavy ad blocking, blocking js. You could even go so far to falify the user agent and make it thing you are running chromium on windows nt kernel

pale sigil
#

Either way

#

It pissed me off

wheat plume
reef patrol
#

Man... laptops with 2060s and i7s are so affordable all of a sudden.

pale sigil
#

Using Google stuff on Firefox

wheat plume
#

webrender enabled = false now means its enabled?!

reef patrol
#

Sub 1K €

pale sigil
#

1660 laptops are quite cheap too

#

Atm

reef patrol
#

Alright... Chrome's officially out. They forced reneabled tab hover.

wheat plume
#

oooh

reef patrol
#

Who the fuck thought these were a good idea.

pale sigil
#

Just use brave lull

old marlin
#

?

wheat plume
old marlin
#

when do they appear

wheat plume
#

but not anymore

old marlin
#

if they ONLY appear while hovering over the tab in the bar I don't see the problem tbh

pale sigil
#

We should all just use edge

wheat plume
#

ew

reef patrol
#

So... what browser alternative is there that also works on Android?

pale sigil
#

@reef patrol brave

reef tundra
#

suckless surf

pale sigil
#

And built in adblock

#

Not thst it matters if you have pihole

reef patrol
#

Autosync has literally been THE reason for me to stick with Chrome.

pale sigil
#

Tbf

old marlin
#

firefox dafoe

#

they have the bar at the bottom now

pale sigil
#

Sync is a little different to chrome

#

With brave

#

You have to make a sync chain vs use an email account
