Ah so, price cuts then

[ashen spindle]

no

refreshes for the same prices and production of the replaced models is stopped

[cursive summit]

Weird

The price gap between 6800XT and 6900XT is massive

There's space there for an intermediary card

[lean abyss]

Real graphic...

[ashen spindle]

yeah so instead of having something in the price gap you add more at the higher price point lol

and its nowhere near as massive as the price between 3080 and 3080 ti

[cursive summit]

No 6850?

Damn

[neat oriole]

what mouse is that?

g705 i guess

[neat oriole]

This is the tablet all the iPhone users base their Android experience on

[ashen spindle]

its probably better than 90% of android tablets

[wheat plume]

literally no

cant even watch youtube on this :') wtf

[pale sigil]

I should really stop paying for 8gb

And I really should stop doxing myself

@wheat plume buy me a new phone thanks

Charged at 11am.

Barely used it

[wheat plume]

Custom roms always had worse battery life for me

IMO

[pale sigil]

Usage % isn't right since I didn't fully charge

[wheat plume]

except when I used Twisted kernel

that thing was magical

[pale sigil]

It was the same with miui

My battery is just poo

[empty wren]

Get a good kernel maybe do an underclock

Also kernel profiles exist

[pale sigil]

It has a pretty aggressive battery saver

The tool I used to estimate life span puts it at like 70%

Health

[empty wren]

Guess voltage reading like accubattery

Really wish phones used Mg batteries

[pale sigil]

Ye I used that

[young pecan]

I just use an iphone and don't have this problem.

Y'know, until 4 years or so pass and then it's struggling not to break the casing while doing a battery swap because apple's bullshit is annoying.

Pls Louis, pls right to repair.

[fair gull]

barely used it... 40percent used by reddit

[pale sigil]

That's since last full charge

[ashen spindle]

so my monitor might finally ship

but dells website also said the shipped it 2 days ago but production only finished yesterday, the tracking says the label was created today

so I dont really trust that yet lmao

@fickle ore monitor is coming on monday now allegedly

[fickle ore]

Nice, hope iss goooood. Check if it has any game mode that decreases lag

[ashen spindle]

pretty sure HUB would've caught bs like that but yea obviously

[fickle ore]

It has a bit higher than norm processing lag, prob some early f/w stuff or image enhancing algos meant more viewing than gaming. So just curious if there is another mode that disables it

a bit like an oled TV

but gotta wait for some other reviews

Anyho, post a pic. FFXIV will be looking good for sure

[ashen spindle]

nah i'll boot up elden ring first lmao

then csgo then code lmao

[fickle ore]

csgo? tf 😛

[ashen spindle]

well I cant try high fps low latency setup in elden ring when its 60fps locked

[fickle ore]

O

CSGO looks prob potato on any monitor

[ashen spindle]

oh I dont care about that it's just about the feeling of higher refresh vs my current 100hz

Honestly 5 mil is quite literally pennies to nvidia, no loss seen from here.

Though crypto mining sales aren't shocking me at all, if I were the biggest GPU manufacturer I'd also be dealing with miners. If a customer is offering to buy 20k units you damn well accept that offer.

Ngl no idea how anyone saw the crypto market and went 'yeah, that's dying right now' bruh...

I mean I know exactly how and why, it's finances that requires a lot of tech literacy and economics literacy to understand.

That ain't a well mixing combo.

[reef patrol]

My NAS is so quiet that I keep forgetting to turn it off, only realising days later when I by chance get close enough to hear the faint hum of the AMD stock cooler on idle. 😅

[fair gull]

so

let it run?

[wheat plume]

Why are they replacing arco with arch on these package names?

These are Arco custom packages

I mean, they are like 90% Arch

No holding back package upgrades, and their custom repos are optional

and no custom kernel like Manjaro does

[formal vortex]

whos taking bets about this being backdoored?

we all know crypto people are the most gullible. not even the 100th rug pull can sway them

[ashen spindle]

well the first one already so I give it a 50/50

[young pecan]

Looks legit.

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/pDZdnbI0MAc

DAISY!

Yep

and get software updates for more than a year like most brands

Not when your phone doesnt have any of those to try

There is not even a custom recovery for my phone :/

I got real lucky with my previous phone

Plenty of roms and custom kernels to keep it updated up to Android 11

but it got too damaged to continue using ;-;

[young pecan]

I just repair my own phones.

Costs SO much less, especially if you can get your hands on the little thingo to reprogram the screens.

[shadow minnow]

I thought MagSafe is gonna mean no more breaking cables

Not even two years

And my MagSafe cable is starting to fall apart

[reef patrol]

It's magsafe, not breaksafe.

https://c.tenor.com/MxOJ1quMwUoAAAAM/duh-ashley-olsen.gif

[wheat plume]

Magsafe was a neat concept...but now its just the Apple term for "wireless charging"

[shadow minnow]

Magnetic wireless charging that is

Actually just magnetic

I mean on MacBook and iMac it’s just magnetic

Normal wireless charging isn’t referred to as wireless

And ngl for me magnetic is way more convenient than normal wireless charging, even than cables

[pale sigil]

i think wireless charging in general feels like a stupid trend

when we have fast charge

[young pecan]

Bring on the IR tight beaming fastcharge and call it a day. :p

[fair gull]

tbf apple did do magsafe once

and it was good

[wheat plume]

yeah, thats why I said "was" a neat concept

[shadow minnow]

well they have done it again

[wheat plume]

magnetic port connections

[shadow minnow]

It’s back on laptops

[wheat plume]

o

[shadow minnow]

On 14”/16” m1 they again added it last year

[fair gull]

well on mine it isnt

[shadow minnow]

You have 13” mb

[timid chasm]

like magnetic breakaway adapters?

those are fucking swell

[fair gull]

its a 14" mbp 2021

[fair gull]

only the apple ones are swell

i had a few for customers and myself on phones

they all sucked

[timid chasm]

I like the random one I bought for my the VR headset

[shadow minnow]

14”/16” is M1pro/m1max, don’t you have m1?

[timid chasm]

a nice little 90 degree that comes apart rather than destroying the cable when something happens

[shadow minnow]

Ngl one thing I don’t like about the new MagSafe connector is how little force it requires to move a bit down/up and by that disconnect

[fair gull]

or is it 13"

idfk anymore

[shadow minnow]

Here new MagSafe

[fair gull]

looks almost like the old ones

[shadow minnow]

It’s braided as well

[shadow minnow]

Kinda but it’s quite different as well

[fair gull]

imma bet the tech is the same

[shadow minnow]

Also it’s over 100w speed, I think around 135.
Though 100 through USB C is enough as well

[shadow minnow]

They had to change sth to allow for higher wattage

[fair gull]

prob wire gauge

[shadow minnow]

It’s surprisingly thin tbh

To be fair technology is probably very similar

Not too much to change imo

It’s mostly well magnets

[fair gull]

i bet the connector style is the only difference

pin count is the same expectedly

[shadow minnow]

Does it really matter though?

[fair gull]

na its an elegant solution

dont get me wrong

just

i hoped for a nice beefy one like olden days

[shadow minnow]

Hmm understandable don’t really like how thin it is so you can move it that easily

But it’s way more practical than usb c imo and a bit faster

Or well for moving it a lot

Otherwise I tend to just charge it by monitor usb c

[wheat plume]

Thanks, I hate it

[empty wren]

All worreies😎

[reef patrol]

So... my OnePlus 7T's battery and charging port is dying.

I've been looking at the 9 Pro as a replacement - but it's a bit pricy and I may be too locked into One+ to see better alternatives?

Maybe something like the Galaxy S21?

[frozen ingot]

samsung has burned me with their lackluster quality too much

[earnest jay]

I myself am happy with my Pixel 5, and I'm most likely going for another Pixel when the time comes.

[reef patrol]

🤔

[frozen ingot]

personally if I were to look at android again I'd see what sonys up to, they do things kinda differently but still well built and quite clean and performance efficient launcher

and often adds more advanced semi-pro settings for the cameras than most other brands I could think of

[reef patrol]

Pixel doesn't seem to be a thing around here. Will look into Sony.

[frozen ingot]

pixels aren't bad as such, I just don't like giving money to google if I can avoid it

feel kinda similar with the chinese brands, most of them aren't bad devices these days but they're operating under chinese state ownership, funding and regulations

[earnest jay]

For me, I had to get my Pixel through grey import.

[frozen ingot]

if one excludes google, samsung and any chinese maker there's not that many more well known and established brands to choose from

[earnest jay]

I had a first gen Nokia (8) Android, and my dad had a 2nd gen Nokia Android, they've been pretty solid.

[empty wren]

Ever heard of fairphone

They keep parts and manuals in the case you would prefer to repair it. Also the phone is pretty repair friendly, if you care for that. Though probably Samsung if you want a reasonably priced flagship Android device that works.

[reef patrol]

I'm not really looking to apply a heatgun to my OnePlus 😄

[frozen ingot]

that's the issue with samsung imo, I've had two of their flagships and they're trying to approach apples inflated sticker prices but quality has not lived up to the price very well from my own experiences

[misty saffron]

all repair shops do exactly that

nothing to worry about

[reef patrol]

Yes - And they also take legal responsibility to furcking it up xD

[misty saffron]

can’t possibly fuck it up at 120 degrees

[frozen ingot]

screen looks great and so does pics taken with the cameras, but build quality and durability just wasn't there

[misty saffron]

as long as you know you shouldn’t do max air.. strength?

whatever the term is

[frozen ingot]

https://youtu.be/j7QwJ-M_GAI these things are actually pretty bonkers, 4K display, tool-less removable storage/sim, fingerprint reader on the side, waterproof, camera software with features off their pro range, it even has the headphone jack left

my iphone 11 is a simpleton vs that thing

[earnest jay]

There's also a Sony phone that has a full fat actual photo camera sensor in it.

[frozen ingot]

sony don't really give a shit about smartphone market shares but rather just makes phones they'd like themselves, they are huge enough that they can keep that division going just fine

[earnest jay]

Didn't Sony recently spin it's phone branch off into it's own company as a subsidiary to Sony at large?

[frozen ingot]

appears to still be under "sony mobile communications inc"

[earnest jay]

Maybe it was incorporated then, and I'm thinking of a different Sony tech branch. 🤔

[frozen ingot]

which technically started in 2001 but was all under the collaboration moniker sony ericsson until 2012 I think

[earnest jay]

Yeah.

[thick elk]

To me historically them being the first to a glass back which I despise, even more elongated phones which I despise.
Straight up downgrading the camera when using anything but the stock rom.
It just isn't for me, even if keeping the micro sd is still a good thing.

[misty saffron]

android ruins it

so yeah

[frozen ingot]

how so

[misty saffron]

android

i was ranting about it yesterday in the cool channel

[frozen ingot]

fair enuff, I do have considerable reservations towards it for googles privacy invading measures, was partly why I went back to iphone again

I wouldn't really want to return to that again, but if I had to the sonys are imo the best rendition of it I've come across

[misty saffron]

i usually bitch about ux

thanks, years of working on app guis

[final flame]

I mean if you're that privacy oriented then de googling is always an option

just sayin

custom roms are quite developed as it is

[frozen ingot]

can you really de-google without also losing pretty significant things like play store

[final flame]

just use a different store

[empty wren]

Yes

[ashen spindle]

if you degoogle it's usually also not making the UX any better

[empty wren]

There is an annoymous play store with some sandbox play services as an option

Also alternative stores exist

[final flame]

it's the benefit you get with android

sideloading is easy

any dev can make anything

[misty saffron]

the thing about phones is you have to choose between two oses

one doesn’t allow sideloading and the other one is shit

doesn’t allow sideloading easily, sorry

[misty saffron]

worse ux still

[empty wren]

If you mean on an app basis blame the developer

Otherwise nothing is stopping anyone in building their own flavor of android

[final flame]

^

[frozen ingot]

from what I've heard you can't just do major changes or outright root just any android device but has to be specific models?

[misty saffron]

not on per app basis

the os ux is shit

[frozen ingot]

I find it a mixed bag, but then there's also things that bug me about iphone

[empty wren]

Some gets their commands ripped out sadly, carrier stuff and ect

[misty saffron]

also, funny side effect of no sideloading

ios apps are generally much better quality

because of high barrier to entry

[empty wren]

Probably cuz apple forces developers

[final flame]

eh debatable, there's a few things I can't live without like poweramp, which is a android exclusive and in my opinion has the most well designed ui over any other music player

[frozen ingot]

the overall polish on ios is still in its own league imo, but it comes at the price of having various limits too

[final flame]

not to mention all the low quality apps on both stores, only designed to be a cash grab, sure there are less on the ios app store but they still exist

if you look through each store you'll find gold every once in a while, just have to know what you're looking for

[misty saffron]

that’s true

[frozen ingot]

also I don't know what samsung did wrong but my notes suffered various hardware issues after the course of 1.5-2 yrs daily use

[misty saffron]

vlc for ios is terrible shit

but take discord for example

[fair gull]

vlc is shit in general... why do you think they choose smth many drunk people puke into as their icon

[final flame]

the only thing that can really compare to the featureset poweramp has is neutron, and the ui is garbage

[misty saffron]

most of the russian apps made by big companies are better on ios however

[fair gull]

i use aimp personally

on pc and phone

[misty saffron]

what does one even use for movies on ios

[fair gull]

netflix

[frozen ingot]

charge port wear, false moisture sensor readings, volume rocker switch dying, oled burn-ins (tho the last was partly user derp)

[empty wren]

iMovie

[empty wren]

Kodi on there?

[fair gull]

fuck kodi lol

[misty saffron]

the 55gb mkv i downloaded kept fucking buffering every 5 minutes

[frozen ingot]

most iphones I've owned just keeps going

[final flame]

I use musicbee on pc and poweramp on mobile, musicbee remote and unified remote are also really nice apps

[empty wren]

No you, Kodi works great

[misty saffron]

sorry not downloaded

[fair gull]

id rather use plex ngl

[misty saffron]

legally ripped from my blu-ray disc

[final flame]

:)

[misty saffron]

keep mixing those up :)

[empty wren]

Plex VR lags so not gonna use it, kiwi VR is good though

[final flame]

I don't really watch movies from my phone to begin with although when I did use plex it was fairly good. on pc I use potplayer with madvr

[frozen ingot]

in a perfect world I'd cherrypick my fav ios and android features into my own greatest hits abomination os

[empty wren]

Also Kodi has everything, you can adjust the aspect ratio trigger the correct built in video subtilites go between languages

Kodi is a damn swiss army knife and it just works well, it does not have picture in picture sadly but oh well

[final flame]

potplayer is nice but all the latest versions have ads built in, you can either use a older version like I do or block the ads in the hosts file

the last version without ads is 1.7.18958

[empty wren]

Ew

[final flame]

yea... other than that it's a really nice player

supports madvr and has a really nice playlist

nothing else I have used is as good at putting everything in the folder in a playlist in the right order

[empty wren]

Is potplayer not on the playstore

[final flame]

it's a pc app

[empty wren]

Oh nevermind

[final flame]

it also saves what audio track and subtitle language you set it to, so even after swapping episodes you don't have to change it again unlike vlc and mpc

[empty wren]

Or kodi

[final flame]

here's what it looks like

madvr has a ton of features like real time upscaling and dejudder

it works really well

[misty saffron]

your computer name is boring

mine is COOL-PC

[final flame]

lol

one of my friends pcs name is just "balls"\

[empty wren]

Sounds interesting, never needed upscaling personally though

[misty saffron]

no cock?

[final flame]

I mean it's useful anyways for both the more accurate color, denoise and debanding

[misty saffron]

ios upscales videos by default

kinda nice

[final flame]

probably using bilinear not really the best upscaler

or bicubic

they both work fine but they're just not that sharp

[misty saffron]

it has an ai upscaling kinda look

it doesn’t do a lot but helps if the bitrate isn’t shit

[final flame]

I did a comparison a while back between opengl and madvr, The open gl doesn't have as sharp lines and the rock in the bg has a red tinge on it

this is madvr

both were taken from 1080p upscaled to 2160

[empty wren]

The red is subtle

Though yeah top looks warmer

[final flame]

these were the settings used

ofc I could always boost the quality but it does take a good gpu to run this at max

I decided to sacrifice quality so my pc could run cooler and quieter

[wheat plume]

technology has gone too far

https://github.com/vappy-lang/vappy

[pale sigil]

Wow

GPU prices really are slowing

going down

i mean

i saw a 3080 for 819

cheaper than mine

but it was zotec

[ashen spindle]

the 3080 ti is still in stock at msrp omegalul

[pale sigil]

never thought id see the day

you can just buy them

[pale sigil]

msrp sucks for 3080ti tho

[ashen spindle]

yes

but it still used to be sold out in minutes the last months

[pale sigil]

That white 3080

iw ant it

TIL MSI discontinued my gpu because they didn't wanna fuffill its orders at the cheaper price

[ashen spindle]

[pale sigil]

instead they relaunched it with a single letter change to charge higher

fuckin msi

[old marlin]

wtf

[timid needle]

K612 pro vs HD560s which one would you take for pure gaming? Prices are the same for me rn

[final flame]

HD560s

[wheat plume]

You want Studio headphone just for gaming?

[final flame]

I mean "gaming" headphones are all garbage anyways

there are a few outliers but the vast majority are bad

[wheat plume]

Fair

[true quest]

3080ti yay or nay

[wheat plume]

what GPU do you have rn?

[true quest]

1080

[wheat plume]

what is the heaviest game you play?/

[true quest]

squad

[wheat plume]

oh LOL

uh...

[empty wren]

How about gay

[pale sigil]

need a super computer for that

[true quest]

i will eat you

[true quest]

so you're saying i may as well go for a 3090ti

[empty wren]

You will not get past the shorts😉

[empty wren]

Could be good if you do desktop vr stuff

[true quest]

i do

[empty wren]

But even then 3080 should be enough

If you need the ram of 3090ti well then get I guess

[true quest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTB5XhjbgZA

[empty wren]

Um okay boomer

[true quest]

you are now obligated to watch

[empty wren]

Wow

[young pecan]

Nay.

For squad I’d all in Lovelace. I feel like that’d work great with squad.

[cursive summit]

I'd take 612 Pro

Far better soundstage for gaming and less bright sound

As an AKG user, I support getting their cans

Except for AKG 812

Don't buy 812

[final flame]

using my k371 rn

I like it but I just feel it's missing something my 6xx has

probably just the midrange I'm really used to on the 6x0 lineup

[cursive summit]

6xx costs more than 612

So yeah it is "better"

Although still AKG has better tuning (I'd say) and soundstage

[final flame]

I was more comparing the tuning instead of performance, in performance the 6xx has far more detail
and I was talking about the k371 which isn't too far off of the original price of the 6xx at 220

k371 usually goes for 160

[cursive summit]

Hmm?

Yeah here 371 is 100$, 612 is about 120

6XX I can't even get in Europe and HD600s are about 300$

6XX undoubtably I bet has a better driver than 371

Though I'd argue 712 Pros have about equal drivers to 6XX and 600s

And in Europe you can get them cheaper than 600 series sennies

[final flame]

712 is going for 300 us on amazon for me

[cursive summit]

Perma discount

[final flame]

the price on sweetwater lol

[cursive summit]

At that point pay extra for 872s

Or just get any Hifimans with the new magnets

[final flame]

at that point you could get a used lcd-2

pre fazor

[cursive summit]

Unsure of how Audezes sound

[final flame]

more of a warm sound signature, it's a planar so it has quite the potential for eq

[cursive summit]

Ah so sennies but planar

Sounds fun

[old marlin]

Hifiman build quality

"just buy the next higher tiered one"

Until you get a shangri-la, build quality on that better be good

Though ngl, tempted to get a jade ii next

Price is high enough to not buy them

Which makes estats great in general

[neat oriole]

Meanwhile

Estat

[old marlin]

I like em

[neat oriole]

Zero dynamics

Except for the he1

Which is the least estat sounding estat

[old marlin]

It do be like that

[neat oriole]

I thought I could live without dynamics but man it was

Been eying the new ZMF

But that price tag is

[cursive summit]

Meanwhile, import costs

So it ends up being even more expensive

Did people forget about brexit already

[old marlin]

What

How much do you get taxed

Ah

Nvm

[neat oriole]

I was just comparing it to NA prices

[old marlin]

They are 230€ in germany

From thomann

199 for b stock

[neat oriole]

Yeah something like that

Man imagine if akg made a k371 that wasn’t built like a happy meal toy

[old marlin]

Considering how comparatively cheap it is

And that hifiman sells stuff at twice the price with similar build quality

[neat oriole]

Nah I’d say even hifiman has an edge over the k361/371s

In terms of build

[old marlin]

He400i does not

But even cheaper

By now at least

[neat oriole]

Haven’t tried a new headband yet

[old marlin]

Emu teak moment

The headband on that is so ass

[neat oriole]

It needs more padding for sure

[old marlin]

Reminds me

I still need loctite for mine

[neat oriole]

Yokes feel a bit flimsy

But like it works I guess

[old marlin]

Ig

[neat oriole]

Although I have quite a large head so I wish the headband had a bit more extension

I think I’m maxed

Or 1 from max

Probably Viper V2 pro now

[old marlin]

Ye

Already seen it being modded to sub 50g btw

[neat oriole]

What’s the v2 Pro?

Is that a lighter VU

[old marlin]

New viper ultimate

[neat oriole]

Ah

[old marlin]

Lighter newer sensor

No leftie side buttons

Usb c

Uhhh

[neat oriole]

Type c is good

[old marlin]

Think that is it?

No rgb

And no dock

[neat oriole]

Thanks EU regulations

[old marlin]

Not enforced yet afaik

[neat oriole]

What’s the stock weight

[old marlin]

58

[neat oriole]

That’s not bad I guess

[old marlin]

But razer tends to spec them rather high

Afail they take 5 units and then add 1g on top of the heaviest one

[neat oriole]

Hmm

[old marlin]

Too bad it is still viper shape

And not viper mini shape

[neat oriole]

Aren’t they the same shape just smaller

[old marlin]

No

Even then

Smaller

[neat oriole]

I’m not that sweaty about mice so I wouldn’t know

[halcyon moss]

mice! lets check ninox astrum

no updates!

[ashen spindle]

Guess what arrived @fickle ore ;P

[crimson wigeon]

sohowisithowisithowisithowisitwhatdoestextlooklike

[ashen spindle]

ask me when I take it out of the box after work 😛

[cursive summit]

Unless I'm reading that wrong

The brigtness is your typical 250 nit meh

Although the only display I remember people drooling over are those QD-OLEDs

But 250 nits are kinda low for that, no?

[shadow minnow]

Oh SDR

[cursive summit]

Even my CX reaches 400 nits at times on SDR

Isn't the QD supposed to be more light on top of existing OLED?

[shadow minnow]

I have IPS but it has like 8 or 16 zones and it’s matte and I hate the blacks so much. Don’t need much brightness where I have it. But OLED or Mini led are so much better, especially glossy

Monitor I have now has glossy version but it’s too late

[ashen spindle]

I dont really fancy blowing my eyes out by viewing a 100% white screen at max brightness

but if you do that, yes you want another panel

[misty saffron]

that’s exactly what you can see in the image lol

[shadow minnow]

I also don’t, usually have my monitor at low brightness

[misty saffron]

va/ips and oled shouldn’t be in the same rankings

fundamentally different backlight technology

can just put 100w leds and have 1 fuckton nits

and oled will look like shit

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle damn son

Something I want so much

How's the text clarity

[ashen spindle]

read this

[pale sigil]

I'm asking now so you can answer later

:p

[ashen spindle]

he asked first sorry, only one person gets an answer for each question 😛

[pale sigil]

Haha

[ashen spindle]

holy shit this image quality is insane

[formal vortex]

how is the perceived fan noise?

[ashen spindle]

if you wouldn't have said something I would have forgottten that people complained about it

if you put your ear over the exhaust you can hear it I guess

[formal vortex]

that sounds very good

[ashen spindle]

the craziest thing is watching a 16:9 video on it that has proper blacks, impossible to see where the video starts or ends on the side lol

but thats true for any oled I suppose

[reef patrol]

😄

[cursive summit]

They have their own tech now

Don't need to buy filthy capitalist spyware

[wheat plume]

No one needs to buy filthy capitalist spyware xd

[crimson wigeon]

Year of the Linux LoongArch desktop!

[wheat plume]

:') nah

Maybe for Linux gaming due to the advancements made for the Deck but not other software areas yet

[empty latch]

yeah fuck china

chinese goverment *

[cursive summit]

@young pecan https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-lhr-cryptomining-lock-has-also-been-cracked-for-linux

I'm guessing the LHR breaks are closely related to the Nvidia leaks

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle verdict?

[ashen spindle]

great so far

[cursive summit]

Worth paying the price you'd pay for a top end gaming GPU?

Or hell a laptop with a 3070?

[ashen spindle]

for the first model with new tech? absolutely

[cursive summit]

That sounds like a sarcastic answer

[ashen spindle]

it was expected to cost 2-3x more since its oled and new

[cursive summit]

Will be in touch on the burn-in on those models

[ashen spindle]

you get an extra year of warranty and even oled tvs dont really have that any more

[cursive summit]

That is a false statement my bud, they really do

Especially those which are hooked up to PCs

Far too many static images

I'd be scared to leave it unattended ngl

[umbral knot]

my oneplus 7 got burn in

home button

[cursive summit]

I completely forgot that phones are based on OLED tech

So burn-in is in fact possible

[shadow minnow]

I guess phones have some OS level stuff to at least make that less likely

No burn in on my phone

[ashen spindle]

yes its still possible just dont go shopping while having a game on pause and youre fine

[shadow minnow]

I did have game on multiple times overnight cause updates and no burn in

[ashen spindle]

im not talking about a phone

[shadow minnow]

Oh

[final flame]

I have a bit of burn in on my note9

the black bars when watching YouTube videos

those parts are brighter

[wheat plume]

what a wonderful hostname xd

[young pecan]

Linux is by far the most supported system for mining. :p Massive majority of systems run HiveOS.

[young pecan]

Seen it and Beta is already running NBMiner. :D

[young pecan]

Ah.

[ashen spindle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-confirms-desktop-arc-will-be-china-exclusive-at-launch lmfao

they really going to end up launching a week before next gen cards at this rate

[cursive summit]

So it's actually DoA

Unless those cards do some fancy stuff or are priced at like 50% less than current cards, I don't see them being bought

Especially with new gen upon us

[formal vortex]

intel is rip anyway, got too complacent loooong time ago

[shadow minnow]

Realistically Intel is still very far from dead

[formal vortex]

ofc they can come back, but it will take a long time

[shadow minnow]

In GPU space sure but in cpu space alder lake does show that they probably can come back.

The thing is, Intel is too huge of a company, they still have majority of cpu market share

I mean yes their performance did last few gens become disappointing in some cases. But they didn’t really lose enough market share for it to be too hard to come back, and alder lake shows they seem to be coming back already

[formal vortex]

yeah they are coming back with cpus that are running so fucking hot. and thats just to say:"we are single cpu load kings" xD

i dont know, i dont see any reason to buy an intel cpu in the current situation

[atomic wharf]

their cpu was hot and still is hot, nothing has changed kek

[ashen spindle]

they didn't really lose market share because majority of the systems did not change, not because those people are buying intel now xD

[atomic wharf]

maybe 14th gen would be better

[formal vortex]

just give intel fan boys something so they can say: but we get 5ghz. congratz

[shadow minnow]

Well yes, in enthusiast market they are less popular now, still they have lot of market share

[ashen spindle]

even if 100% of sales was amd intel would still have a big market share

[atomic wharf]

their market share is still depending on servers and business companies, not consumer PCs

[shadow minnow]

And I mean in some cases Intel CPUs now do make sense value wise in lower end (6 performance cores)

[atomic wharf]

that wouldn't change in like 5 years before EPYC solve their own problems

[shadow minnow]

Or well may have changed tbf

[formal vortex]

in the end, when i buy stuff, i look at whats good, and not what brand its from. just offer a good product and it will sell itself. intel relying on their former image will only last so long

[ashen spindle]

because amd can't saturate that market due to limited supply

[atomic wharf]

especially CPUs, who cares about the brand they all do the same processing thing anyways

[shadow minnow]

Well yes but alder lake imo already is more than just relying on former image even if it still has issues.

[ashen spindle]

being able to get market share because the competition cant make enough is not a good look

[shadow minnow]

Well sure but they have extra time until situation of competition changes

[atomic wharf]

looking forward to fall this year, lets see if RDNA 3 can take the crown from 40 series

[shadow minnow]

Ngl that does seem quite possible

[ashen spindle]

yeah except we already hear that the next nodes from intel, 4 and 3 namely are having first troubles

so the future is already starting to crumble

[atomic wharf]

I've saved up 1300 usd just for buying GPU this september

[shadow minnow]

Starting to? At which point was it not crumbling?

[atomic wharf]

maybe before 2016 kek

[ashen spindle]

you're not helping your argument if you make jokes about it being bad lmao

[formal vortex]

in the end, i wish intel can come back sooner than later because we consumers would benefit the most from it

[shadow minnow]

Well it is crumbling, my point isn’t their CPUs are good or they have to last, just don’t think their downfall will happen that soon, or that it would be too hard to overturn at this point

[ashen spindle]

yes but not too soon or they will not learn enough from it/not make as many consumer friendly changes as they might have to otherwise

[shadow minnow]

I mean we already did see points at which Intel CPUs were bit better value in low end recently though idk if that’s the case rn as well or not

[ashen spindle]

yes because amd cant supply that sector due to limited ~~demand ~~ supply xD

[atomic wharf]

btw I just got hold of a model M and a fujitsu leaf spring keyboard today, can't wait for them to be shipped

[ashen spindle]

nice

[atomic wharf]

true glory of linear and clicky keyboards

[shadow minnow]

Well if they can I guess Intel may decrease prices. Or not. We will see I guess.
Still and will probably have trouble getting lot of CPUs on newer nodes as well. Apple takes a lot, amd has both CPUs and GPUs and nvidia may rejoin as well

Apple seems to like taking up TSMC producing capabilities.
M1 Ultra has 6 times the transistors of 5950x

[ashen spindle]

they arent on the same node...

[shadow minnow]

Well sure just saying in general

As soon as amd moves to a new node…

[ashen spindle]

no you cant say that in general lmao

also transistors dont matter, just die size

[shadow minnow]

It’s not entirely directly comparable but still a crazy amount of transistors. Which do affect die size.

[ashen spindle]

density isnt even the same on all products on the same node, for what you are looking at it doesnt offer any infos

[shadow minnow]

Hmm die is 3 times the size not as much as I thought tbf

[ashen spindle]

what

a zen3 ccd is like a 1/10 the size of the ultra

[shadow minnow]

Counted all 3 dies in total but idk may have found wrong info

[ashen spindle]

the io die is made on like 12nm global foundry not 7nm lmao

if you looked at this, chip size based on IHS is not a good comparison lmao

[shadow minnow]

I just googled all the die sizes and calculated it lol didn’t know IO die is 12nm tbf

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-launches-radeon-rx-6950xt-6750xt-and-6650xt-graphics-cards

[formal vortex]

does AMD have anything like DLSS in its current gen?

[cursive summit]

Yes?

FSR 2?

I mean in theory

In practice ain't out yet

[misty saffron]

so the answer is no

[formal vortex]

it was an honest question, i know very little about current gen gpus, because i refuse to buy any at this price point

[cursive summit]

FSR 2 should be able to tackle 2.2 or 2.3 DLSS

And it should launch sometime soon at least

[ashen spindle]

https://gpuopen.com/fsr2-announce/

[cursive summit]

Slated for Q2

[ashen spindle]

intels version will be open source as well so I assume in 2 gens it wont be relevant anymore if support is decent

there are already plugins that incorporate all 3 so it's an easier toggle

and next gen will probably just be slight differences but not as much as this gen

Where is GIGABYTE?🙃

amd ditching GB

[crimson wigeon]

Oh no

[wheat plume]

Doesn't gigabyte make both AMD and Nvidia cards?

[ashen spindle]

its a jole

joke even

[wheat plume]

Gigabyte: The double agent

[ashen spindle]

most brands make cards for both vendors...

[cursive summit]

FTFY

[ashen spindle]

oh seems like fsr2 is coming this week to deathloop as the first game

[misty saffron]

asrock branded gpus

that’s new

[cursive summit]

New?

Haven't Phantom gamings and Taichis existed for quite a while now

[old marlin]

4-5 years

Iirc

[misty saffron]

oh probably not russia then

[pale sigil]

I've just replied to 20 emails confirming account deletions for sites

Right to be forgotten ftw

[astral haven]

The laptop sellers are the exception,
The biggest seller in the world is palit which is nv only,
Evga, Galax, power color, sapphire,xfx
All brand specific

[ashen spindle]

eh if we count the global market thats true I guess

palit isn't big here so I keep forgetting asus isn't the biggest one anymore

also galax is a palit owned brand

[thick elk]

I thought for a second Asrock as of some years ago making gpu's would make biostar the only odd one out not in the gpu market.
Seems I was wrong and they actually do make gpu's.
So yea all the consumer mobo makers that matter seem to make gpu's as well.

[ashen spindle]

makes sense too

most of the knowledge to make a good board will translate to make good boards for gpus too

[shadow minnow]

True

Same the other way around really

[thick elk]

Asembly lines are pretty similar as well

[shadow minnow]

I mean to some extend

Ngl making the board doesn’t sound like the really scary part

Programming all the mcus on it however

[misty saffron]

isn’t galax the asian name they use

[shadow minnow]

All the controllers you have

[misty saffron]

rest of the world is kfa2

[shadow minnow]

All the vrm voltage and everything stuff

[thick elk]

It's all about economies of scale and cost optimization.

[ashen spindle]

galax is known for the hall of fame cars mostly

idk if they mostly sell in asia, palits has many sub companies

gainward, galax, kfa

[old marlin]

afaik galax is also NA?

[wheat plume]

My computer shut off randomly twice on its own just now

Wtf is happening

It was working fine all day

Then I noticed that my second SSD wasn't mounted
And the disk app didn't see it either
So I shut it off
Turned the power off at the wall and rebooted
Then less than a minute later it shut off
I turned it back on and then two minutes later it shut off again

Wtf

[timid chasm]

You know how you get tired and want to sleep and people keep waking you up and you're like "just let me sleep"

Take the hint.

[wheat plume]

But... computers don't need that

[timid chasm]

Your computer disagrees

If it's shutting off within a minute or two (multiple times) though I don't think I'd keep turning it on. At least not without taking it apart and looking at everything

[ashen spindle]

If it doesn’t see some hardware I’d first check cables and all

[timid chasm]

If I restart my computer sometimes my SATA drives stop showing up until I shut down, unplug, and drain the power

But if I do a proper shutdown and then power on no issues. Weird as fuck and happened after a major Windows update

computers are fucky

Time to build a new one*

[wheat plume]

We unplugged the SSDs and booted into UEFI

See if it shuts down

[timid chasm]

did it shut down from uefi before?

[wheat plume]

No

But it's been a while since I've been on UEFI

[timid chasm]

well if it doesn't shutdown from uefi just try the boot disc only

and then build a new one*

[wheat plume]

Live session from USB?

[timid chasm]

boot drive* sorry. I'd try whatever scenario it shutdown from before with minimal attachments

[wheat plume]

Ok....is it overheating???

CPU temp is 44 whole motherboard is 23

[timid chasm]

44c? uh no

[wheat plume]

While*

But I'm in a cold room and the case is open

[ashen spindle]

Yes 23 is boiling hot /s

[timid chasm]

is the cpu heatsink still attached?

[wheat plume]

Should be

[ashen spindle]

Those temps are normal

[timid chasm]

do you not monitor temps during normal usage in desktop?

[wheat plume]

Not usually

I did for the first few weeks when I built this

[timid chasm]

my cpu ran at like 75C for 2 days straight your fine unless it spikes to something insane

[wheat plume]

My cpu reaches 86 during games

[timid chasm]

that's warm

stock cooler I assume?

[wheat plume]

Yep

[timid chasm]

If it's modern AMD you can probably change some power settings to drop it a fair amount without much of a performance hit, but that's another topic til it stops turning off

[ashen spindle]

If you were on windows when it shut down you can just look what the logs say

[timid chasm]

I just assumed the OS was some random highly altered branch of something linux related

[ashen spindle]

well linux probably has it too just I doubt that it is there by default since that would most likely be considered bloat

or maybe it has it but is one massive text file lmfao

[wheat plume]

Ok....I can open and preview everything on my storage drive

But if I try to delete anything it tells me the file is either corrupt or unreadable

On my storage drive

Did I fuck up my storage SSD ???

[pale sigil]

There's your problem

[wheat plume]

It didn't shut down when I booted to windows

But the computer failed to boot a few times
I pressed button and nothing happened

[true quest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0nM77Ob_PI

[wheat plume]

Can taking out the RAM sticks cause you not to be able to delete shit on a drive once you turn the PC back on?

cause we took the ram out to make sure it wasnt an issue with ram and put them back in, maybe put them back into the incorrect slots they came from

[astral haven]

if you forgot to turn off the pc then yes possibly

[wheat plume]

I didn't forget

[wheat plume]

What an easy name to remember!

Ok, a restart of the app fixed it

[reef patrol]

https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/11/end_of_ipod/

[misty saffron]

great, prices will skyrocket

officially vintage

[reef patrol]

I really do need to get one of the old, big models with the scroll wheel.

I have two of the tiny nano ones with no screen that relies on text to voice and a 2GB ssd. It uses 3.5mm plug to charge 😄

[misty saffron]

i got a 1st gen classic

something’s up with the screen ribbon but otherwise fully working

never cared enough to fix

[neat oriole]

I have a 3rd Gen classic?

Dead hard drive

[misty saffron]

green china board time

♿

[neat oriole]

Flash mod time

2 TB iPod

[misty saffron]

both of my fat classics have hdds fully working somehow

[neat oriole]

You should buy lottery

[misty saffron]

definitely not

wasn’t so lucky with the minis

[neat oriole]

Well I suppose its a 50/50 then

[misty saffron]

need to get a compact flash to ide cable

upgrade

the full size ide

cable

whatever it’s called

[solar hinge]

i've seen it done, i bought my asus router from someone who was putting an SSD in his ipod (not full fat SSD, but those smaller card ones)

[reef patrol]

Yep yep. And a modern battery

[reef patrol]

Yikes - Just looked at prices for used iPods.

Maybe uhh... maybe in a few years 😄

[formal vortex]

still have two flying around in the attic somewhere. might need to go on a hunt

[cursive summit]

I got iPod Touch 5th gen pink

Wonder how much that retails for

Oh sorry 6th gen

[reef patrol]

Depends on the buyer I guess. They are limited to 128GB - it's not the best model to get for a mod.

[cursive summit]

Bought it for someone else but honestly, 6th gen iOS kinda sucks

Tried it out as my first taster for Apple software

It's not fun

[reef patrol]

I kind of want a 1st gen iPod just to be able to sync it with my old iMac over Firewire

[formal vortex]

so what do you do with it, open it up, take out the inards and put new stuff in?

[reef patrol]

You open it up, install a larger ssd and a new battery. And yeah that's basically it.

Largest traditional iPods stopped at 160GB.

Also the older models have a really good DAC.

[formal vortex]

ok, but is there a point when you can just have spotify on the phone :/

havent used my music collection in years

[reef patrol]

Spotify doesn't work everywhere
Spotify removes tracks all the time due to lapsing licenses
Better battery since it's dedicated for one purpose, music. No phone level OS or apps (unless you choose to do so)
Nostalgia.

[formal vortex]

fair enough

[reef patrol]

Though I am a bit of a collector. Apple family - Grew up with them, and I have a G5 PowerPC iMac to play old games on. A well as two of the ancient ones.

[formal vortex]

someone in my team at work is an apple collector, he has so much stuff xD

[reef patrol]

Two of this size. Gotta love tha ... 7? ... 9? inch CRT 😄

[formal vortex]

since i started here 3 years ago, i never used an apple and i still think its inferior to my normal pc. but its decent and i can see the appeal

that said i love what they are doing with the M1

[reef patrol]

I haven't liked Apple in years. Not since they completely gave up on having dedicated graphics cards and... machines you could actually service 😄

[formal vortex]

yeah thats a sad story. my dad had an old iphone and i would change his display once a month because he would crack the screen. impossible to do now

[reef patrol]

This is my G5 iMac. Everything is easy to access, nothing is soldered and it takes THREE, THREE! screws to get the entire back off.

[cursive summit]

but but but.. the consumer is an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing!!!

You will ruin the device by opening it!

[formal vortex]

yeah the soldering part on everything nowadays is such a scam

[reef patrol]

[cursive summit]

Rather sad listening to Rossmann and realizing everything is moving towards one party policy

[formal vortex]

they have to sell their 500 euro ssd upgrades somehow

[cursive summit]

No more independent repairs

Anyways

6950 XT review by yours only, Userbenmdajdaskdja

Providing all the whining with no arguments

[formal vortex]

i read some reviews and most were in the tone of 5% performance improvement for 15% of the price

[cursive summit]

Actually the price isn't even inflated

[formal vortex]

its still way too high

i dont want to be that old person type that says: 100 years ago the bus fare was 10 cents

[cursive summit]

As in like, these cards cost the same as their 00XT counterparts for the most part

We thought they'd cost more but they actually kinda don't

[formal vortex]

well they are binned 00XT parts

would be even more sad if they went out of their way to ask even more

how brazen can you get

[cursive summit]

AMD mostly left for the OEMs to decide on the price and they are mostly asking for 00XT prices

When officially it's more

[formal vortex]

because their is price pressure on the market finally

[cursive summit]

Which is honestly good since the price hike was the main killer for the refresh

[formal vortex]

all those gpu scalper cockroaches finally leaving

[cursive summit]

HAH

Not for long anymore

LHR got broken so all of those 3070 stocks will start to get grabbed up again

At least crypto market is currently dwindling so there's that

[formal vortex]

loving it

[cursive summit]

My investments don't

[formal vortex]

im sorry but some of the stuff is so obviously scam, its not even funny and people still go for it. tell me why some of that stuff doesnt follow normal economics and people still g for it. economics still apply to crypto

[cursive summit]

Yeah I don't look into the shit stuff

Doge, Shiba the current craze for $APE

[formal vortex]

did you see the terra / luna thing

i have been following it since yesterday. its hilarious

[cursive summit]

Is that the decoupling thing that happened?

I heard that something riled up people but didn't look into it

[formal vortex]

yeah

if stuff sounds too good to be true, its probably scam. but with greed, normal thinking goes out the window

[cursive summit]

Well shitcoins are shitcoints

I prefer altcoins

Stuff with tech behind it

That has some inherent intrinsic value

Not your shitstain doges

[formal vortex]

Tether needs to go next

[cursive summit]

Tether's bad?

Isn't that tied to USD so you can't really break it

[formal vortex]

super scam

well Terra was also pegged to USD xD

see where it is now

do you believe Tether really has 65bn dollar in reserves to pay out everyone

[formal vortex]

thats a no from me dog

[cursive summit]

Man this is kinda insane

Like Terra crashing is kind of a big hit on crypto world

Imagine if Solana or Monero's next

they said it was, they lied
people found out
they said it was partially tied, they lied again
people found out
they said they have collateral, they lied again
people found out

[formal vortex]

oh, that sounds like Tether

[solar hinge]

yes tether

[formal vortex]

who have denied getting audited by accredited sources

[cursive summit]

From what I heard they used AMP as a collateral

And I am so fucking glad I didn't invest into AMP a few months ago

Then again I'm heavily into Loopring and that's crashing

But it'll recover I'm fairly certain

zkEVM will kickstart that

[solar hinge]

i only use tether on binance when i'm drawing funds away from binance, btc/eth to USDT or BUSD, use binance creditcard to charge money onto my revolut account 😄

[cursive summit]

Revolut always sounds like it's russian and I don't want to trust it

[solar hinge]

lithuanian

[cursive summit]

What, no

Isn't it british

[solar hinge]

don't think so

[cursive summit]

Out of all the good things my country has produced, it's Nord VPN that's the biggest one

[solar hinge]

they set up an entity there after brexit i think

[cursive summit]

Ahh

They loopholed it

Our national bank authorised them as our bank even though they aren't really a thing here

So that they could trade in EU

[solar hinge]

but to be fair, i also think revolut is a bit shary

shady

but they're officially a bank now, so there are some securities now

but also more checks

[cursive summit]

Yeah I don't know a single good bank I could use as a lithuanian

[solar hinge]

meaning, more tax departments looking at it

[cursive summit]

I don't trust Revolut, and I hate Swedbank for immoral practices

[solar hinge]

swedbank is good for user UI

because it uses Pega 😄

[cursive summit]

Sweds UI is wonderful actually

Easy to use

[solar hinge]

i always loved working with them

[cursive summit]

And as a "junior account" user they don't fee me for anything

[solar hinge]

because iworked at pegasystems 😛 the software providers

provider*

[cursive summit]

Not for deposits, withdrawals, purchases, card fees

So basically I'm just leeching off their servers

[formal vortex]

should be a given, since they can use your deposited money to accumulate more money

[solar hinge]

i never got to go to sweden for a business visit, because my filthy manager at the time took this upon herself...

[formal vortex]

i switched my account from deutsche bank to a free bank too, since deutsche asked for 14 euros a month in account fees

[solar hinge]

i set everything up and stuff with the account manager, so that swedbank even pay for it and suddenly she would go

bitch

[reef patrol]

Whoa nelly that's quite the fee 😄

[formal vortex]

yeah ..

[solar hinge]

wow, i have €3.5 per quarter

[formal vortex]

i pay 0 now and can withdraw money everywhere in the world for free

fuck them

[solar hinge]

which bank?

n26?

[formal vortex]

DKB deutsche kredit bank

its super nice, when i lived in sweden, i could also withdraw my euro in SEK directly with good conversion rate for free

so i didnt need swed account

theres several banks now with similar offerings. like ING Diba

CONSUMERISM

[crimson wigeon]

Good

[cursive summit]

So, all of those millions of existing lightning cables

[crimson wigeon]

Even if it does create tons of waste

[cursive summit]

Basically electronic waste

[reef patrol]

Firewire all over again tbh 😄

[cursive summit]

That's why you don't use proprietary shit to begin with

DELL

[fair gull]

no?

[shadow minnow]

Well kinda yes though most of them are probably broken by now

[fair gull]

then they are waste even now

[shadow minnow]

The ones that are broken yes, but the few remaining will just become waste

Ngl I still kinda selfishly want fully wireless

Though I do see why overall it would be worse

[fair gull]

the ones remaining will just charge phones still

why do yall assume everyone buys a new usb-c phone

[shadow minnow]

That’s why I say few since not everyone will switch
But overall probably will decrease e waste in the future

But smh even my MagSafe cable is breaking

I hope they go wireless but with braided cable for MagSafe

Or overall they should just provide braided cables just like with HomePod mini

Definitely something apple can do

And would kinda add to premium brand thing if it’s with every phone as well

[cursive summit]

Fuck you

And give my 3.5mm jack back
