Could go see if there's a shop near you.

Typically anyone with excess to sell is happy to do so if you take care of their old equipment, and they'll do so for cheap.

[cursive summit]

There is none

Closest one is Sennheiser Germany

[young pecan]

I mean shit if I didn't already sell my old 6XX I'd give em for free on the condition that they're respected.

[wheat plume]

🤔

CoPilot is ... interesting

[pale sigil]

My sister is moving from ios to android

Proud of her but she had to switch soon before getting a new phone

Shes borrowing her boyfriends old phone...

Lg K4

[misty saffron]

watch her get an iphone in a year

[wheat plume]

Watch her base her opinion on that old ass phone and then switch immediately back to iphone

[misty saffron]

i tried switching to android at some point

a couple of months later was so impatient for the new iphone to be released

i hate the duopoly

one is anti-consumer and the other one is shit

[formal vortex]

i had android for longest time but switched to iphone13 now. cba with a phone that hardly gets any updates

[pale sigil]

I get updates every other week :p

And major ones :p

But yes Iphones are supported longer

[formal vortex]

i had android one phone before which got some updates and later i flashed my own updates

but its such a hassle, i dont want to deal with it

[pale sigil]

What phone? :p

[formal vortex]

i had the mi a1 for 4 years before that

[pale sigil]

There ya go xD

[formal vortex]

i looked at the pixel

but its not as good as iphone13 for same money

and 2 years less updates

no thanks

[pale sigil]

Aye but mi a1 was quite budget at the time

These days £300-500 gets you far

[formal vortex]

yeah true

[pale sigil]

Also Xiaomi used to be slow for global market

Ramped it up around 2018-2019

[formal vortex]

but this isnt exclusive to xiaomi, when it comes to android

updates have always been a problem

and i was an android enthusiast

[empty wren]

Major os updates?

[pale sigil]

Oh I meant in your example

Or well situation

:p

[formal vortex]

back then i was a student, so it was the right decision, nowadays i work so idgaf. just give me a phone which works. i dont have the time anymore

[empty wren]

Google reworked updates in the last years, a lot of packages now come from the play store so a lot of phones that would have not gotten support would now. Security updates and os versions are still up the manufacturer.

[formal vortex]

i care mostly for security updates

[empty wren]

Well makes sense then, that situation is getting better Samsung I think supports four years of them

Interesting 5 years now

[formal vortex]

yeah thats a lot better

under the old android scheme it was like max 2 updates, which is planned obsolescence

super dirty

[empty wren]

Honestly not surprised a lot of the large companies dump a lot of phones a year, but yeah they could have probably put out security patches that requires no major is version change.

[old marlin]

Even my huawei p30 got security updates for ages

[final flame]

Never change Mental, Never change

[wheat plume]

^

xd

[pale sigil]

fuck man, idk how my sister does it

welp

[final flame]

seems like it

[pale sigil]

Thats my stats

😄

[final flame]

o

[pale sigil]

this is my sisters

[final flame]

here's my YouTube stats for this last week

I probably have easily 10k+hours total though

[pale sigil]

fml

i watched netflix for 26 hours

Depends

During my fucked up leg yes, I couldn't move so I just give up and watched Netflix

These days? No

That's since 2016

I also watch some content while doing other stuff

[pale sigil]

Oops

[halcyon moss]

You all crazy. I think this is already a lot of youtube

[pale sigil]

I do wish my stats weren't so depressing

But tbf my sisters stats are not much less than mine

And she works a lot

And still has a lot of watch time

Not sure how though

[halcyon moss]

Does she use it as a music service?

[pale sigil]

I meant Netflix

Afaik she doesn't really use YouTube

[shadow minnow]

Wish I knew what to watch on Netflix

[pale sigil]

Let thr algorithm guide you

[shadow minnow]

Usually can’t find anything good apart from like once. Tbf just my attention may be an issue

Hmm better than usual but still a lot

I used to spend way more on YouTube tbh. Still use it enough but not as much as during last summer holidays

[summer pelican]

Can you use the woofing software with other Hall effect switch keyboards to achieve the same types of things, (like rapid trigger, etc?)

[ashen spindle]

no

software cant change the hardware sensors and settings those use

[reef patrol]

Can mounting a Tesla PDA make my Toyota a supercar?

[misty saffron]

pro tip for next time: search for forks

either way

does the folder contain a build file

send the folder you have

i feel helpful today

interesting url

replace url in platformio.ini

[empty wren]

[pale sigil]

@halcyon moss

[reef patrol]

Imagine paying Google for an ad-free experience where they still harvest your information.

[thick elk]

You are not even getting an ad free experience, because most video's have their own ads embedded

[timid chasm]

Wait, premium doesn't remove ads within the video? Just pre-video ads?

or you mean like sponsor ads from the channel itself?

[ashen spindle]

the latter one

cant remove the ad the creator has in the video

[timid chasm]

anything that isn't the "which brings us to this videos sponsor" should be removed, imo

[young pecan]

I’d be fine with ads if they gave us a feature set worth walking about and stopped crippling the creator tools.

Hard for people to do their jobs when they can’t use analytics properly.

[ashen spindle]

or if they put ads in places around the video so I would see them without it blocking the video

same goes for twitch I dont understand why they still insist on just having ads that cover the stream

put something above the chatbox and I wouldn't mind it ever

[sudden glacier]

i really dont mind the youtube premium feature

you get ad-free youtube and youtube music on your phone, 5 family members can benefit from it too

if you compare that price to what spotify provides it's a huge deal

[reef patrol]

partially ad free.

[young pecan]

Speaking of ads, wtf is with triple unskippable ads as of late?

[reef patrol]

No idea - I have adblock 😄

[misty saffron]

no idea, i’m russian

[shadow minnow]

Here the most is 15+20 unskippable I think

But it’s strange how often YouTube says 1 out of 2 ads yet the second ad doesn’t appear

[pale sigil]

80% of my consumption is ipad, without jailbreak I couldn't block ads and when I was in the emergency ward I couldn't re sign my app so I caved in and got premium but kept it since

[reef patrol]

I know that feel - Had a week and a half on chromecast, which has forced ads xD

[shadow minnow]

This looks scary

[crisp granite]

...

holy fuck the undervolt on that must be nuts

[shadow minnow]

And heatsink is not the only, or even the most significant weird thing

[final flame]

the last time I saw a heatsink that small it was on a tnt 2

[shadow minnow]

Okay but look at the VRM

[pale sigil]

Use your finger is a heat sink

[final flame]

I mean in the context of a gpu heatsync

[pale sigil]

I used my finger as a heat sink once

It hurt

[shadow minnow]

And you haven’t even tried the worst thing

Holding tec in one hand, one finger on one side and another on other side

Old good times of mourning a cpu cooler to a tec to see how cold would it get

Now I could try it with even better cooler actually

Or one day when I am upgrading pc watercooling

Despite having 11900k my cooling is an absolute overkill for it rn ngl

Limited by safe voltages, not temps at all

[wheat plume]

LOOK AT ALL THOSE CHI TUXES

[reef patrol]

Patch ALL the microcodes.

[wheat plume]

ofc

How can I resist a thumbnail like that

:P

Ive yet to try Gentoo and BSD

I doubt it

Maybe its more minimal than Linux but idc much

swapon

xd

[crimson wigeon]

It's really just so you can tweak it exactly to how you want, since you can easily apply source patches and compile certain things in, and leave other things out and such

[wheat plume]

id love to do that to the kernel...that has a lot of modules I know I wont ever use on my desktop

idk how to make and apply a custom kernel with all the modules I dont need removed

y u so complex??

[crimson wigeon]

That would only really save you some disk space

[wheat plume]

.-. I was going to install chromeOS Flex on my old laptop

but when I added the extension to my browser and opened it, it said that this only works on Windows....freaking damn it

[ashen spindle]

installing the OS only works on windows? huh

[wheat plume]

yeah....

the browser extension window thingy tells you to try again on Windows

[ashen spindle]

what extension, how are you trying to install a os via a browser extension what

[wheat plume]

ChromeOS Flex uses the ChromeOS recovery extensionm

or whatever TF its called

I love that the UEFI on this laptop supports touchsreen, makes it really fast to apply changes and exit

Imma install windows 10 on my old laptop
then use that to create the ChromeOS USB

LOL

I was wondering why the song I linked on the server earlier started playing..... He used it in this video LOL

[misty saffron]

wrong channel

i am retard

[young pecan]

Some fairly jank transcoder settings and still half the filesize moving into H.265... Fuck I love technology.

[timid chasm]

oopsie daisy. Forgot to close Wireshark last night

closed without saving 😂

[empty wren]

Mmmm 0 bytes free

Windows go crashy now

[misty saffron]

nah windows just starts bitching

[empty wren]

I have talked to people who filled their storage up and they wondered why the computer was so slow

[young pecan]

And then you have the people with 200 gig + in their recycle bin.

[shadow minnow]

Ngl my phone can behave interesting with no free storage left

After enough time especially

[empty wren]

When the custom firmware looks out for you

Also before anybody says why you take a picture of a screen, the phone is purposely not synced or connected to any accounts.

[pale sigil]

I wanna run a custom rom

But like

Last time I did that I lost Google pay

[cursive summit]

https://hothardware.com/news/rdna-3-gpus-maybe-3ghz-and-92-tflops

[pale sigil]

ngl

id be temtped to go amd next gen

but like

AMD

[formal vortex]

i would buy a card that doesnt consume 600w

[ashen spindle]

with your faulty powerline amd might be the better option since it draws less lmao

[formal vortex]

worst time to upgrade atm, i feel. either get a 2 year old card or a new one that has like 2.5x the tdp

energy prices being through the roof

[ashen spindle]

not really, since you dont have to get the flagship?

get one that does current gen performance for less power or get a better one and just undervolt it for example

https://www.igorslab.de/amd-rx-6800-overclocking-und-undervolting-von-ueber-240-watt-bis-unter-180-watt/2/

200W and you get top tier performance this gen already

50% more for maybe 30% more on a 3090 if you go flagship

next gen will be the same if you just ignore halo products

but it will be fun seeing the fires of Thermi 3.0

[empty wren]

Should be a magisk module, running it for root on the stock factory image.

[halcyon moss]

one tux per core! i ahvent seen this in aaages

[halcyon moss]

my 5700xt is fine

[wheat plume]

the only time gpay didnt work for me on custom rom was when I had magisk root installed

[young pecan]

Rumours of a 900W 4000 series Titan lmfao.

Thermi indeed. Fuck I hope it’s real.

[ashen spindle]

yeah but those rumours say that could be AiB models

which include kingpin models etc.

[young pecan]

I mean I’m ok with it.

I really just wanna see someone justify a 2100W PSU.

[pale sigil]

Hate this

Why do I need to run two Google services for Spotify

All cloner which I usually used blocked Spotify

[thick elk]

Either way, I would probably constrain myself in regards to power consumption on gpu's, even if I don't pay for the electricity, it still heats my room.

[ashen spindle]

time to place pc in another room and have cable extension to it ez

new use case for wall mounted pc, actually mounted IN the wall so only IO is in your room

[thick elk]

Split unit water cooling, with the exhaust outside

[rancid roost]

900w.. Over 2 12 pins rated for 300w.. how?

nah top powerdraw seems to be 600w for the 4090ti. Which is wayyy too much. But otherwise they wont be able to compete with AMD.

[ashen spindle]

they are rated for much more than 300w lmao

[rancid roost]

Same as with Intel. 5800x3d vs 12900KF... Same power, half to a thrid of the powerdraw.

[ashen spindle]

you can get 600w with a single gen5 cable

[rancid roost]

yes but we talking dual 8-pin to 12-pin cables. Noone will have Gen5 PSUs. Maybe with RTX5000.

[ashen spindle]

we already get the first psus that have native gen5 cable support

so why would gpus not have it

[rancid roost]

so why would nvidia look for dual 12 pin

1200w monster gpu? i doubt it

[ashen spindle]

well where did you get dual 12 pin from

[rancid roost]

u mean the information?

[ashen spindle]

yes

[rancid roost]

well you sent some IgorsLab vids before didnt you

[cursive summit]

MLID

GOOD

Well shit that's a joke

Mr. Spout shit all day and delete video tomorrow if it doesn't come true

Was fun when his channel was created to watch him for like, a month

[ashen spindle]

igor breaks down how based on the 3090ti reference board 600w would work out sure, but I'm missing the part where that says they wont use the regular pcie5 connector?

also why use channels that report on leaks when we have leakers talking about directly

[young pecan]

AIB cards, it ain’t up to Nvidia anyway. Also it’s based on 3000 series, also why wouldn’t you use the 12 pin with a PSU if you’re making them? It improves efficiency.

[ashen spindle]

https://twitter.com/kopite7kimi/status/1519182862699823106

kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi)

In fact, there is another full-fat AD102 SKU with 900W TGP, 48G 24Gbps GDDR6X, 2*16pin and higher frequency.
But no one knows whether it will become an actual product. Because the test board of AD102 has more than two 16pin connectors, so everything is possible.

Twitter · Apr 27, 2022, 5:13 AM

even if that sku doesnt come to light, if they use 16 pins internally I doubt they then go back to their own proprietary 12 pin

[young pecan]

^

Not a chance the 16 pin isn’t getting used.

[ashen spindle]

now if they would be making money and locking someone else out sure they would use their own tech lmao

[young pecan]

It’s just such a good connector. And given the 3090Tis already use 2, I can see a 4000 Titan using between 3 and 4 lmao.

[ashen spindle]

but I dont think they gain any advantage here

[rancid roost]

bc Igors a friendly dude

[cursive summit]

And gets stuff wrong

[rancid roost]

server psus are always stronger than desktop gpus. if a desktop gpu had 900w, what would be the server? NVIDIA power 15?

[rancid roost]

cry me a river

[cursive summit]

Like in emojis?

[ashen spindle]

and does good work and I read some articles he writes but if we get leaks directly why add another layer 😛

[cursive summit]

😢 🌊

Igor's a sick dude

But leaks he's less than reliable afaik

[rancid roost]

bc hes a good chad

if u dont know german thats a bummer

[cursive summit]

Quin's german iirc

[rancid roost]

but id say vid captions should be good enough

sehr gut

[ashen spindle]

also if they put ada on consumer and hopper on server board it doesnt really matter how much either draws

[rancid roost]

if u say so lol

they should hire u

quintosh the consultant

[ashen spindle]

for all we know they might try the dual gpus again like the olrd x90 cards

[cursive summit]

He prolly already works for Nvidia for all any of us know

Lad knows a lot

[rancid roost]

guys just put hopper on server and ada on consumer, fuck power draw

any questions

good

[ashen spindle]

what, they use different architectures so powerdraw of one doesnt relate to the other

[rancid roost]

amd will just not as far apart more like 5mm apart

with an IO die

i doubt that 3d will be ready for GPU chips

but if they get it right with an IO die their profits per wafer will be HUGE

then fck raytracing, improve upscaling on amd and raise GPU clock to 2.8 Ghz. Who needs dedicated capture chips and dlss anyways if you can have amd stuff

jk if nvidia doesnt go too crazy and can hold up on perf ill stay on Nvidia

[ashen spindle]

even if they do it might be a worse option with scalped/retail prices for a long while since mindshare will still have nvidia as the better option regardless of if they are

I just hope amd can get to market first, that would make nvidias presentation so awkward lmao

[young pecan]

DLSS + DLAA <3

And given it’s fucking braindead to integrate into a game, I’m willing to say we’re seeing more of it very, very soon.

[rancid roost]

especially the charts, yes

[ashen spindle]

yup, last time they could ignore amd since rdna2 wasnt out yet so they only compared to 20 series

that is such a massive difference if they can show a massive gain vs rdna2 or just parity with rdna3 lmao

also can intel please get around to fucking release anything

at this point I dont even care about arc gpus anymore

I just want xess to run so it puts pressure to open up dlss

[rancid roost]

they will but not before amd. Am5 will be huge. Ill skip R6000 tho bc of DDR5 prices. Let em mint

[ashen spindle]

oh I meant gpus

[rancid roost]

oh

yh uhm just wait

its like with the 60he

its done but

[rancid roost]

they should be as good as a 3060ti but nothing more. At the time they are out they will get dominated by RX7000 / RTX4000

[ashen spindle]

well supposedly drivers are a troubling point still

but as I said all that doesnt really matter to me because it's so close to next gen but XeSS can still put some pressure on nvidia

yeah even if its above that and gets close to a 3080 its just too late now

[rancid roost]

Jup

[cursive summit]

Well last saving grace for Arc would have been pricing an availability

Both of those from what I read Intel failed already

Not available, nor priced competitively

[wheat plume]

ooo I like this, when im connected to my server over FTP, it lets me use a remote terminal from the file manager menu

I used it on Friday without a Microsoft account on a school desktop

[misty saffron]

show me an anonymous commercial vpn then

[wheat plume]

mullvad?

[misty saffron]

anonymous being doesn’t require you to leave any data

[wheat plume]

mullvad uses account ID, you dont need to give it an email or password

[misty saffron]

how do you pay

[wheat plume]

You can pay many ways, card, crypto etc

[misty saffron]

so, with money

[wheat plume]

card makes it instantly not anonymous.. xd

[misty saffron]

there’s an incentive to actually know nothing about the user

and it’s still not nothing tbf

crypto is not anonymous

the fact AML checks are even possible with the most popular ones is proof

[wheat plume]

AML checks?

[misty saffron]

anti money laundering

(yes, all exchanges will deny your dirty crypto)

if you want to actually not give any data

riseupvpn

they’re a different breed

Iirc RDNA3 cards are currently on pre-prod run rn?

How feasible is for AMD to change the design right now

To tune down the specs

[crisp granite]

wILl RdNA 3 bE In mACBoOK aIr WiTH m2??????????

[cursive summit]

No?

Anywho

Let's say AMD learns of Nvidia next-gen specs, learns they will decimate their entire lineup, but will cost more than what NV would charge

This scenario is obviously, probably unrealistic but

[crimson wigeon]

Doesn't matter, people want DLSS NVENC RTX ON and whatever else there is

[cursive summit]

If AMD could, would they actually drop the SP count months before production

Is that even possible, wouldn't they have to go through long re-certification procedures

Mainly asking @ashen spindle here

[ashen spindle]

dropping SP count does not mean lowering performance

also that could change just weeks before still if they wanted

but its probably planned ahead anyway

just that they didnt use the planned core counts till now

[ashen spindle]

also that isn't based on anything secret Iiterally just clicked on the sources they linked btw

https://twitter.com/greymon55/status/1521142708277944321

So what are the chances the legendary 295X2 is making a return

[ashen spindle]

0

[cursive summit]

The Fiji X2 iirc never came out sadly

295x2 is iirc last multi gpu card?

[astral haven]

Consumer

And even that is debatable as amd marketed the pro duo for vr gaming for a while

And apple ofc has the Vega ii duo

[astral haven]

Nvidia did that on the a100 without any issues
Axed 1/6th of the core because of yields

[cursive summit]

Any of you lads by any chance have an R9 Nano you wouldn't mind parting with?

I kinda always wanted a nano

Would pay obv, within reason

[crisp granite]

I actually have one

in my closet

[cursive summit]

X for doubt

[shadow minnow]

E

[crisp granite]

it's just as functional as my topre board

[cursive summit]

I ain't coming in or out of any closets

[crisp granite]

I binned the board because the PCB was scratched to hell and nonfunctional

..then again

was also an ANSI board

no loss

[crisp granite]

if you were any deeper in the fucking closet,
you'd be in Narnia

[cursive summit]

What about Nano

[crisp granite]

admit I'm beautiful

[cursive summit]

I love the tiny nanos

[crisp granite]

same state

dud

don't know why I still have it

[cursive summit]

Saed

It's a rarity

[shadow minnow]

That actually doesn’t sound bad.

Where is the closet though?

[cursive summit]

Butt

[crisp granite]

I know

wait

shit

Vexx...

you just reminded me of the 3070 I originally wanted to get

[cursive summit]

Idk

[crisp granite]

the Asus Dual

is a smol boi

[cursive summit]

Funny thing happened today

I wanted a new PC for a while now

And whereas AMD is still 2.5x overpriced

Nvidia is actually semi-normal

So I kinda wanted a 3070

So I found this Lenovo prebuilt for 1500$ with 3070 and R7 5800

Was heavily considering it

And today I found a brand new config of the same prebuilt

Lenovo R7 5800 with RX 6800XT for 1580$

[crisp granite]

that's not horrible

assuming it's a good prebuilt

[cursive summit]

The card itself rn retails 1100$

[crisp granite]

and not an Alienware-level build

[cursive summit]

1TB SSDs, good fans, good b550 mobo

16GB 3200Mhz

Solid build

[ashen spindle]

how are your prices still higher lol

[cursive summit]

Ngl didn't expect to see 6800 XT for normal prices

[cursive summit]

Pls die

[ashen spindle]

also stock on the amd site is now staying for more than a millisecond usually

the 3080ti is even in stock as msrp

shows how trash that card's value is

[wheat plume]

If I got a 3080TI...would I have to get a new CPU and mobo too?

[ashen spindle]

why

[wheat plume]

idk

too new for the specs I have?

[ashen spindle]

??

[cursive summit]

The fuck Lana

[crisp granite]

...

Lana

[wheat plume]

?

[cursive summit]

I think what they meant

Was "bottlenecking"

[wheat plume]

Yeah....I forgot that word...

[crisp granite]

your components are UNDERPOWERED for a 3080ti

so yes

you will need a new mobo and CPU

[cursive summit]

And R5 3600 should maybe handle 3080

[crisp granite]

if you had beefier ones to start, answer would be no

[crisp granite]

kinda questionable

[ashen spindle]

uhh why would a new board be needed?

[cursive summit]

No clue

Lana's is either B450 or 550 rn iirc

Perfectly fine

[wheat plume]

b550m

[cursive summit]

Also potentially PCIe4 unlocked

[ashen spindle]

and bottleneck sure, doesnt mean you dont get more benefit from it

[cursive summit]

That the B450 rebrand or real 550?

[ashen spindle]

if its a 1080p screen its free super sampling

[wheat plume]

165Hz though :P

[ashen spindle]

also doesnt matter what the board is either way

[cursive summit]

Ehh

[wheat plume]

so..Id need a new CPU but not a new mobo?

Unless the mobo cant use the CPU

[cursive summit]

PCIe 3/4 is kinda important

[ashen spindle]

no you dont need anything new

you might just have a cpu bottleneck without a new cpu

[cursive summit]

Yeah I'd say your biggest problem is the 3080

But honestly though

[wheat plume]

True, id rather have an AMD

[cursive summit]

You might get more perf

By buying a 5600X and 3080 instead of just 3080Ti

Those IPC increases are

[ashen spindle]

you're not going to find a 3080 below the cost of a 3080ti though lmao

[cursive summit]

Uuhh

Yeah my market is fucked

[ashen spindle]

meanwhile the 3080ti founders edition is sitting here in stock at 1250 lol

[cursive summit]

Cheapest Ti is 1340€

Cheapest non Ti 953€

Enough for 5600X and spare change

[ashen spindle]

whats the cheapest non ti that isnt gigabyte lmao

[cursive summit]

Cheapest non Ti is 953€ Zotac

Second cheapest is 1050€ Jiggybyte

Still kinda wishing 6800 XT was cheaper

[lean abyss]

3080 is 899€
3080ti is 1298€
6800xt 949€

[young pecan]

Too bad a 3080Ti is only 100MH.

More efficiency from 5700XTs. >:D

Though tbh I'm game for Vega 64s. Those are kinda nasty.

Same with 6800s.

[pale sigil]

My Plex data

[wheat plume]

Edge is stealing Firefox UI design

[chrome estuary]

Cool

A chromium based browser with Firefox design

Now everyone can be miserable together

[formal vortex]

nothing wrong in using a decent design, that said. fuck chrome and fuck edge, fuck opera and all the other crap browsers. firefox with noscript and ublock origin for life

[earnest jay]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-fry-indeed-leonardo-phillip-gif-19015458

[pale sigil]

I really wanna go back to Firefox so much

So so so much

But there's some small bullshit issues here and there, not of its own fault though.

But enough to piss me off

[earnest jay]

I never left, but what are those issues though?

[pale sigil]

Google apps mostly

And some other things

Would break

[shadow minnow]

There is stuff that annoys me about safari but then stuff like private relay and me being used to it just makes me not really use anything else

[pale sigil]

Ya mean the built in vpn?

That isn't a vpn

[shadow minnow]

Yes

[pale sigil]

Just use a spoofer extension

They exist

Just send nonsense data

[shadow minnow]

I mean doesn’t allow me to change country which is annoying but still works well

Can’t be bothered and idk if it would work on phone either

[earnest jay]

Ahh, ok, I myself have no issues with google apps, but then again, I only really use keeps and photos webpages outside of gmail and the search engine webpages.

[shadow minnow]

Well that doesn’t cover up my location through, private relay makes it so only country is known

[pale sigil]

It does

[shadow minnow]

Oh well.
Tbf it’s mostly just me being used to safari lol.
Don’t care about vpns that much it’s. Mostly not caring about which browser I use either.
Though when using sketch up usually use chrome so I can not accidentally move mouse too far left, and lose all unsaved progress

[pale sigil]

Afaik it's not uncommon most mac users use safari

[shadow minnow]

I have spent too much time 3d modeling stuff for like 3d printing in sketch up in stead of using sth else.
Used to it and UI is really nice, though some very crucial features are lacking

[wheat plume]

oo, they finally added the Reject All button :D Thanks EU!

[shadow minnow]

Pog

Still not there for me

Though who knows if uk will get that

But I think they did say Europe in general

Hope they got a fine for implementing it that late

[pale sigil]

It's there for me

[cursive summit]

And then you realize

They will keep asking for those cookies forever

And prolly still keep them

[shadow minnow]

I don’t think they can really risk it. At least not in some obvious way

[wheat plume]

"We Need to use Cookies to let us know that you want to reject cookies"

[pale sigil]

so annoyed

miui bootloader wont send me verification text to login

[wheat plume]

bootloader??

verification text??

[pale sigil]

sorted

@wheat plume to unlock it

[wheat plume]

oohhh that

right yeah

it didnt work .-.

how get emote on name?

[earnest jay]

Truth be told, I've always experienced faster on FF compared to Chrome and Edge.

[toxic moth]

firefox is noticeably slower for me compared to other browsers

idk maybe i have too many extensions or something

[earnest jay]

Not surprising, as every browser dev seems to have a hard-on for Chromium, a real shame imho.

[earnest jay]

I have the same extensions in every browser I use if possible, and to me FF always just seems a bit snappier in loading and browsing.

That's true, but I meant more in the sense of using Chromium as a browser engine, though I don't if FF has its own browser engine starter kit like Chromium.

[ashen spindle]

its nothing new is the issue, I switch to chrome years ago when twitch started existing because back then it already had issues on firefox and chrome just started to take off

its not like these issues only happend in the last year or so

[toxic moth]

i get a lot of weird performance issues with firefox, and it also only seems to like poll for inputs every 100ms for some reason which is especially annoying on speed typing sites

i reinstalled windows like 2 weeks ago and i still get the same issues so i dont think its any settings i have (again, unless its something to do with my extensions)

[pale sigil]

@shadow minnow a great example of why i dont care for backing up photos that much

[toxic moth]

maybe it's a hardware issue somehow

[pale sigil]

that google still cracks me up

Why

[timid chasm]

I assume that's selected randomly from photos?

[pale sigil]

nah im scrolling through my backups

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-publishes-vcn4-video-codec-next-patches-for-rdna3-gpus-no-av1-encoding-support-so-far

The hell is VCN

[ashen spindle]

bruh

I genuinely dont know if you are trolling at this point

the article literally describes it

[pale sigil]

Am gonna be one of those people

[cursive summit]

How even old is VCN

[pale sigil]

With the trndh clock

[cursive summit]

Cause it's the first time I ever heard of that term

To have its 4th iteration implies it's rather old

[ashen spindle]

probably because it barely matters if you dont stream/record etc.

or do you know what nvidia calls their codec blocks

I dont

[cursive summit]

That the NVenc thing?

Or is that just an encoder and part of the codec that's called something else

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah thats the name

[cursive summit]

To be fair NVenc is fairly famous

[ashen spindle]

well its also not exactly the same it encompasses more

[cursive summit]

Used to appear quite often as "Why should you buy Nvidia over AMD" statement

[ashen spindle]

it's like VCN+ more

[cursive summit]

Somehow Nvidia's encoding was just insane compared to AMD's

I suppose the situation improved by now

[ashen spindle]

no not really that it's better, just that software was more optimised for it and recently that it is better at areas that are currently used

so like, amds solution is often better at higher bitrates, but those bitrates are beyond what you can stream on twitch for example

[cursive summit]

Since you know quite a bit Quin

Why is Nvidia's CUDA so much more well regarded over whatever AMD's equivalent is

OpenCL or whatever it was called?

[ashen spindle]

because rocm sucks and is basically just used for the big projects that amd gets contracted for lol

[cursive summit]

I mean last time I looked up workstation perf, Nvidia was just so much better at most things

[ashen spindle]

cuda just has years of usage and people know it, more people know how it works well, they have a lot more devs for it etc.

[cursive summit]

Shouldn't that you know, become an open standard, for the sake of humanity and competition?

[ashen spindle]

but it wont magically happen for no reason

[cursive summit]

Unless their hand gets forced by either AMD being really good at it, which prolly won't happen

Or Intel being really good at it

Which doesn't appear much likely either

Or just Mr. EU deciding that it wants to shaft Nvidia for sake of equal performance grounds and orders them to do so

[ashen spindle]

unlikely that would ever happen

[cursive summit]

A520, and A320 are also included, apparently

Enables support for AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D & new AMD Ryzen 5000, 4000 Series CPUs

[pale sigil]

bloody pixel launcher

[ashen spindle]

also im kinda sad there is no console generation this year, that made it much easier to know the specs for amd ahead of release lol

[cursive summit]

Weren't there rumours for refreshes

[ashen spindle]

no guaranteed chance to tell mansen he's 100% wrong

[cursive summit]

Pretty sure Switch Pro is next year material

Wasn't there a rumour that either an Xbox or PS5 refresh is coming with higher end specs?

[ashen spindle]

you're not going to see a ps5pro when they still recently made ps4s to keep up with demand lmao

and the switch is unlikely to go amd hardware and if its nvidia not likely to use the newest

[cursive summit]

There were some really compelling insider rumours that the chip in next Switch is Tegra Orin

Which is like, last gen but new enough

[ashen spindle]

its ampere so you wont get info about ada from it lmao

[cursive summit]

Actually it's probably not unlikely they would switch from Orin to the new Tegra with Ada stuff

Switch desperately lacks power

[ashen spindle]

except nvidia said that tegra is coming 2025 xD

the latest orin sku isn't even out yet

[cursive summit]

sampling in 2023 and slated for 2025 production vehicles.

[cursive summit]

Well Nintendo can just have something custom made

[ashen spindle]

no chance they are paying enough for that lmao

console is a tiny side business for nvidia they wouldn't give them special prices when they could sell wafers from that to gamers for overpriced values

[cursive summit]

There is a chance

Just custom Orin

[ashen spindle]

oh sure but mostly because any customisation there isn't a massive change and is uses older nodes

[crimson wigeon]

TO THE MOON

[cursive summit]

Daily reminder that back when Intel was ~50$ in 2016, AMD was like 10$ per share

AMD has hit >100$ per share in 2021 while Intel's still 50$

Also a reminder is that $NVDA is grossly overrated

[crimson wigeon]

How so

[cursive summit]

They don't really have much to justify their stock price

Either $NVDA is overvalued, or $INTC is undervalued

Also $NVDA price hopped massively due to AI driving

Which, last I heard, is dead

[ashen spindle]

intc could be undervalued depending on how ifs goes in the next nodes

nvidia is a high valuation because they are entering much more markets

[fickle ore]

INTC is very undervalued, imho

and AMD overvalued 😄

[cursive summit]

I'd bring Intel to AMD's evaluation if not higher

And knock NVDA back down to 150

I don't see that much value in Nvidia

[ashen spindle]

ahahaha

you really need to look how massive and broad nvidias markets are

and in how many they have no competition

[fickle ore]

NVDA is valued rather high yeah, but not as high as say AMD for now 😛

I'm just hoping INTC will start paying a fatter dividend with their big cash balance. Or maybe all of it is gone to the fabs, or will go.

[ashen spindle]

I hope its going to IFS and is used well there

need more foundry options than just tsmc for leading options

[fickle ore]

Ye sure, and prob will

[ashen spindle]

I mean, the latest news is problems in one of their nodes again lmao

sure its never possible to have everything be as planned

but intel 4/3 might find some limitations

[fickle ore]

Haven't paid that much attention to that stuff lately. I just read they outbooked AMD on N3 at TSMC

[ashen spindle]

yeah but did you also read that N3 is shitting bed right now lmao

[fickle ore]

Na

lol

[ashen spindle]

so amd dont really want n3 lol

let apple and intel pay for tsmc to fix that node first lol

[fickle ore]

Good plan hehe 😄

[cursive summit]

In graphics, GeForce fights AMD and Intel, Tegras in part now compete with AMD and Arm solutions, Shield kinda failed as a product, not that used anymore, their self-driving solutions are afaik not even that feasible yet, and Datacenter is good, but always under scrutiny by AMD, etc

[ashen spindle]

so the first mentions of zen5 on n5/4 instead of n3 are coming out but that shouldn't matter much

[fickle ore]

but if it works out, then they get shit on during 2023-2025 period methinks

[cursive summit]

Like I really don't see here where Nvidia is working alone, and is outdoing competition so much that they deserve such massive valuation

[ashen spindle]

not likely

since zen is designed much more node agnostic so they can flex the node and not end up with a rocket lake

[ashen spindle]

total ecosystem + software

omniverse if you want to take the marketing word for it

[fickle ore]

True. Still, quite hard to keep interested in whatever new hardware they are pumping since there is no software for us gamers that really require/need it.

[ashen spindle]

huh

I'm quite interested in high frame rate without low quality settings lol

[fickle ore]

My zen 3 can do 300+ fps in most games atm, most games kinda lagging behind in requirements and not benefitting much from new cpus

[fickle ore]

That would require one to buy a good GPU, and that money is better spent in stock market or mortgage 😄

I weep for the glorious old times when midtier gpu 300-400$

[ashen spindle]

many quality settings depend on cpu still and something like gta5 does not run fast with any current cpu lmao

[fickle ore]

And you play just ffxiv that could prob run on a sandybridge

[ashen spindle]

except I still often drop below 100fps lmao

[fickle ore]

lol bad gaem

[ashen spindle]

nope uwqhd resolution xD

but still, not fully gpu bound

and its not like I never play something else or will play this forever

hell I'd still be playing TF2 if valve wasnt the worst and best company at the same time

and that is not running stable with any cpu still lmao

[fickle ore]

Valve needs to step up and make TF3 tbh

[ashen spindle]

also I'm pretty sure if you look at the unreal5 demo with the matrix scene you can see what devs cant do yet because of lacking cpu power

[fickle ore]

TFC>TF2 mkay

Ye prob, I just aint seen that stuff

[ashen spindle]

you can download that now and take a look at it, very impressive

also very resource hogging lmao

[fickle ore]

Those demos are prob better than the games they end up making anyhow lo

tbh

[ashen spindle]

eh, it's mostly about using so many npcs with AI etc. that is hitting cpu hard as well as certain aspects for raytracing

[fickle ore]

Elden ring was a suprise, it was so much better than I expected

still lacking a lot tho, but its good enough

[ashen spindle]

yeah open world like that also can make good use of cpus resources to populate a lot more

[fickle ore]

Yea improved AI would be very welcome

[ashen spindle]

also anything physics based

[fickle ore]

yea need more physics in shooters

anyway get ur ffxiv fix lets play some pantheon on wqhd at 300 fps when it comes

[ashen spindle]

sure ping me in 2025 when its out and works

amd confirmed in todays earnings call that next gen laptops will all have pcie5 options

aside from maybe super ultra lower power I guess

[astral haven]

Pcie 5x4 mobile GPU time

[ashen spindle]

and options for more IO without having to rely on chipset maybe

[astral haven]

Unlikely

As garbage as it is, amds chipset are pretty good compared to the alternative options (that amd has available)

[ashen spindle]

I guess

[astral haven]

I do want more promontory tho

[ashen spindle]

had to look that up heh

oh also this means we finally get laptops with up to date cpu archs

and not a year or so lagging behind

[astral haven]

Wait you didn't like buying the 1 or 2 am4 laptops?
😱

[ashen spindle]

well thankfully I'm still fine with what I had in uni since lockdown home office means I didn't even touch that lmao

[astral haven]

Tbh the only PC I use for a significant amount of time is my work computer
And we use vpro
So amd is basically not an option whatsoever

[cursive summit]

Well Rembrandt was relatively short lived

[astral haven]

God I really wish amd would get on that

[ashen spindle]

ah so legacy vpro even though amds memory enclave and all is steps ahead now lmao

[cursive summit]

Dragon Range is hyper exciting though

Leaks are saying ~24 graphics CUs or something like that

[astral haven]

Amd has nothing even remotely similar to vpro

This is vpro

[ashen spindle]

oh is the pro series not similar? thought vpro is just what amd does with pro cpus so mem encryption etc.

[astral haven]

Out of band management

[ashen spindle]

ah

[astral haven]

Ipmi but works universally including on laptops via WiFi (doesn't work with radius tho sadly)

[ashen spindle]

so amd is simply lacking the software support stack for taht correct?

[astral haven]

Nope
Vpro is hardware

It's out of band

It works if the PC is shut down

[ashen spindle]

?

[astral haven]

It's part of some chipsets and it's beyond useful

[astral haven]

Amd was just detailing implementation options, it's not part of the CPUs or chipsets themselves

[ashen spindle]

wait so they have the software stack for once and are lacking hardware for it? lol https://developer.amd.com/tools-for-dmtf-dash/

[astral haven]

They have neither

Basically realtek built in out of band management into the nic and amd put a skin on the software

[ashen spindle]

ahhhh ok now it makes sense

[astral haven]

Cool thing with Intel is
We provision an exe to run during computer setup and thats it
Every feature is available to us
Larger enterprises have the vendor preprovision the settings but we wanted more control

To get a supported computer we look for the sticker and that's it

Notice those bios options?

We can watch as a firmware update runs

It's so nice

[ashen spindle]

meanwhile I have to watch the art people create yet another tree conflict on svn again instead of using cool tech...

[astral haven]

Oh did I mention we have full kvm in bios on a remote computer?

Yes I can click on bios options
Yes it's super awesome

[ashen spindle]

cool

[astral haven]

And this is part of all the vpro supported chipsets

Use the nic built into the chipset and you have full vpro support

There are open source clients too but work doesn't allow us to use that, so we just get all the basic features like I don't know booting a local iso on the remote computer

[old marlin]

@pale sigil btw G703 successor is mad tiny

[old marlin]

btw

G705 sucks ass and has a sensor of a mouse you can get for under 20€

don't buy it

[shadow minnow]

Looks closer to g pro than g703. Looks like weird combination of that and was it 503? Idk but not a fan of it tbh

Should be a separate lineup too

[pale sigil]

Got no reason to buy anything and keep my 703

[crisp granite]

ew

that shape is...

wut

[shadow minnow]

A bad shape

[old marlin]

the shape is okay

not great

but like

the internals are ass

the design is just ???

price prob won't be appropriate for the performance

it is not very efficient

getting only 60 hours of battery life with a 500mAh battery

with RGB turned off that is

[astral haven]

Why not just put a new shell and rechargeable batt on the g305
Such a good mouse besides the shape

Stellar sensor too

[old marlin]

rechargeable battery imo is not a good feature

tbh

also the sensor in the g305 is kind of an odd one

so I get why they would swap that out

in favor of one of the later heros and not the weird one the G305 and G603 had

instead they used the sensor from their cheapest gaming mouse

[old marlin]

also just because long term durability, repairability and danger when recycling

[shadow minnow]

Ah yes let’s buy new batteries for mouse every week

[old marlin]

you can buy rechargeables

and a G305 lasts a few weeks with one AAA

a few weeks as in like 3 months or so

[shadow minnow]

Well I would expect standard batteries to be quite heavy

[old marlin]

lithium AA/AAAs and rechargeable ones are a LOT lighter than alkalines

[ashen spindle]

they are less than 10g

[old marlin]

AAA rechareable/lithium is around 8g just for the cell

AA alkaline is 25g

[shadow minnow]

Ngl wish Logitech made qi wireless charging things for mouses too.
I did get a coil with control circuit and extra bottom of mouse to do it myself but too lazy

[old marlin]

no

qi charging sucks

also something like docks and qi charging encouraging you to charge every time you don't use it is absolutely shit for battery life

making them an even worse option

[shadow minnow]

Well not every time but it’s just annoying to use the cable

[old marlin]

I used the cable on my fm for like 4 times now

in the few weeks I have had it now

one of those 4 times was updating fw

[shadow minnow]

G703 doesn’t last as much.
And if it had qi I wouldn’t have to carry cable with me at all

[old marlin]

get the new G703 then

if it doesn't last long I assume you got the old 3366 one

[shadow minnow]

Nope

It does last long

Just not as long

[old marlin]

so 90 hours?

roughly

[shadow minnow]

Nope way less with RGB on

But it’s mostly annoying to just have to use the cable

[old marlin]

logitech claims 60

[shadow minnow]

like every week or few, unless it’s time I use it more

[old marlin]

which usually is pretty spot on

[shadow minnow]

Hmm used to claim way less

Like 20

[old marlin]

there are 2 version

like I said

3366 and hero

the hero is way more efficient

[shadow minnow]

Hero

I know but still

Thought it was like 20 hours

[old marlin]

but due to differences in internal power use etc the encoder shits the bed earlier

switches as well

[old marlin]

35 with rgb on

[shadow minnow]

Hmm

Well still cable is annoying

[old marlin]

60 hours is still 5 days with 12 hour constant use a day

you won't get rid of cables alltogether

[shadow minnow]

I mean I am the kinda person who uses MagSafe

[old marlin]

and long term durability >>>>>>>>>> cable annoying

[shadow minnow]

Well for charging I could just use my other cables

[ashen spindle]

there you go

[old marlin]

bungees are ass

[ashen spindle]

[old marlin]

don't quite fix the problem

a good cable would

[shadow minnow]

And mouse is big enough, to negate the effect of 2.5w wireless charging, not to make it heat more almost at all

[old marlin]

but we went from giga hyperstiff braided bs to paracord giga floppy bs

[shadow minnow]

That would work so well for me

How close is undervolted and OC'd 6800XT to the 6900xt?

I heard that it's compelling value that card brings

[lean abyss]

Fun fact, good 6800xt's are faster than some 6900xt's...

[cursive summit]

Kinda wondering how good the Lenovo AIB models are as cards

[ashen spindle]

dont think any 6800xt is better than a 6900 unless you OC one but not the other

[lean abyss]

I've had multiple cards... And my xfx 6800xt merc was faster than the gigabyte 6900xt oc, both overclocked as far as they would go.

[ashen spindle]

same cooling for both?

[lean abyss]

Both on aircooling

[ashen spindle]

but on their own cooler so it might just be the cooler being worse?

[lean abyss]

Even if, point still stands 😛

[ashen spindle]

I mean, shit AiB model making it worse is a general statement for literally any card combos xD

[lean abyss]

Silicon quality makes a huge difference...
I mean both where custom cards, so ye

[ashen spindle]

sure but nowadays I think it's very unlikely they go through binning where that comes from just silicon quality

[wheat plume]

This makes me wanna go back to using Plasma desktop.....
so pretty <3

[frozen ingot]

my old bungie now holds the wireless receiver dongle

kinda handy tbh since it also keeps the charge cable in the same place close by

[pale sigil]

perfect for linux

Oo, nice

How is 3090Ti outdone by 3090 though

Costs 1k$ more for less perf?

[ashen spindle]

random set of data so for all we know they might just thermal throttle because they tested it in africa at day

or just they forgot to turn something off, if that is wccftech data maybe they did it during a windows update or something equally silly lol

[cursive summit]

So with these refreshes, are they slotting into new price points, or are they occupying existing prices and the old cards are being pushed down

Cause 6800XT is 580$ iirc, 6900XT is 999$

[ashen spindle]

in slot replacement
