junior ore
careful then : the analog components are finnicky with those models.

junior ore
the cap on the backside of the monitor can be adjusted but it's not exactly tightly fitted, so during movement it could wobble. so if you open it make sure it's sitting there tight at least.
the analog board will be sitting sideways flushed against the case : thats the thing that commonly has the most malfuctions.

This one. The THICC boi

Late response, but
- Pulling the plug on Stadia would indeed matter for internal use, as that means they nolonger have a server to playtest stream from. If you meant they are streaming the game from an internal server that isn't Stadia then wouldn't they most likely be using Windows on their own devices to more easily replicate bugs (or to avoid Linux based bugs).
- Big reason they have it on Stadia IS the money. Google was throwing around a lot of cash at the start of their ill fated venture. Without the monetary injection Bungie would never have touched the platform. If they had an internal report saying Linux was worth supporting they would've made the move years ago, but when it comes down to it most players who use Linux are also fine (at least willing) to dual boot Windows to play D2, which means it's kinda worthless for the devs to make a native Linux port. This is the power of the Network effect, it requires outside influence (like payment, or free cost) for people to adopt things outside the mainstream compatibility
ashen spindle
yes I meant internal server for easier game streaming to test, and I never said the money is not a factor, just that anti cheat is a major reason as to why its not on linux despite the game working on proton for a while
reef patrol
this is a thiccboi
It is THICC compared to modern iMacs. And unlike those you can actually service mine with just... three screws. Total access. But yes - The fishtank is much deeper for sure.

I am reminded when I sold one of those huge aluminium PowerPC Mac Desktops (G5 I think they called it) to some guy, and when he picked it up he told me about how his son was going to use it for gaming 😬 This was done in 2016

Testdisk is your friend
reef patrol
They act a bit like airbags for your switches and keycaps. Instead of bottoming out and hitting the bottom of the switch (which causes a bit of noise), it hits the o-ring and dampens the noise.
reef patrol
The potential downside is - it can't bottom out. Which means that on an analog board you lose some sensitivity range.

you can get a lot of stuff meant to only run on windows to run on linux.
because they didn't want to for reason of their choice, or laziness. or they don't knwo how to. but that doesn't mean it can't run on linux eitherway
don't ask me, ask the people that made the software not supporting it.
likely it's because it's done using various microsofts codes released officially for windows. but that stuff too can run on linux as well when someone else pokes at it.
.netframework stuff
or directX
it's usally done through WINE which can run window applications
and there's others
called wine because they wanted to eb cheeky with the name and because people would think its running a emulation or not

it works by converting the Window system calls into Linux system calls and bunch of other stuff, like replicating window directory and configs and stuff.

I now have two hard drives heading my way. I need a third one, but I need an additional one. The only one I can currently get at a reasonable price is a X300 Pro (Toshiba). As such, I need to ask: anyone have any experience with Toshiba in general? I don't recall ever seeing one in any computers I've salvaged.
astral haven
Toshiba drives at the low end were the worst of the worst
But their best drives were reasonably useable
Nowdays they don't exist any more and I don't think anyone willingly buys them
slow garnet
wait hold on, you're telling me they don't exist anymore, yet they produce 20TB drives? Who's making them then?
Scratch that, 18TB I mean. But still, who's making them then? As far as I can tell it's not a situation like WD and HGST...
astral haven
Toshiba drives that are helium based are the only thing remaining
All the other drives are rebrands
also in what universe is an x300 cheaper than an exos
slow garnet
Well that's annoying. The other options are all NAS drives.
astral haven
exos?
slow garnet
Not sure why it's cheaper, but it just is. Exos don't fit the budget nor the capacity required (too low if budget is lower)
I mean hell explain to me why brand new 6TB WD Blacks were $50.
I don't understand the logic there, but it's legit, so fuck knows.
Alternative options are (non pro) ironwolves or a wd red plus. Other than that, nothing which would fit into budget.
Eh, I'll decide tomorrow. Eitherway the guy who is selling them has plenty of them in stock as far as I know, so one day will likely do fuck all.
And before you ask, no, said guy isn't available online, and isn't willing to go online, so sorry

Ngl I see 4K 240 as kinda endgame.
I myself can see pixels with 1440p since I tend to sit close to monitor but 4K solves that, so no need to have anything higher. But what would be really nice would be DP 2.0 20 for this, so no compression is needed
fair gull
i really hpe u change ur monitor distance at some point
unless bexin got a 48inch screen With 1440p
but id assume its normal sized
so pixel density is high enough that at the optimal distance you shouldnt see pixels as pixels
shadow minnow
27”, but I sit less than 70cm away from the monitor
I think with 1440p image should stop being sharp at around 75cm with 27”
I mean 1440p isn’t bad, way better than 1080p but I can still see the image not being sharp for me
reef patrol
fair gull
its screensize and thus how much area it takes up in your field of view
usually 80 to 100cm
ya i was right
reef patrol
Don't know about you but last I checked I can definitely tell pixels a lot easier if I'm up close. And having a higher density helps there. So can't agree with that.
fair gull
so u also sit a good 10-20cm too close
or what u wanna tell me
this is like me saying ah 4k sucks on my 60inch... im sitting 40cm away and can still see pixels

Well yeah DPI is what matters but you get that by taking res and dimensuins
fair gull
yes but its still not the point to fill your entire fov

I can't hear you over my immersjun

the only time u wanna fill the fov as good as possible is vr and deep dive gaming which is also more or less vr

nah, even on regular games a widescreen is much more immersive than regular 16:9
fair gull
nah, even on regular games a widescreen is much more immersive than regular 16:9

And since I play almost exclusively first person games when I can help it, it helps with immersion and awareness. Just because I can't focus on my edge vision, doesn't mean I can't fucking notice something swinging past me 😄
ashen spindle
well if I could have a screen that fills my fov I'd take that
fair gull
so just play with a vr headset at all times
reef patrol
I mean a VR headset would be awesome - But I really don't need more sweat on my face 😄
ashen spindle
plus the weight and cable/batteries or the lack of resolution for some years to come

Still holding on to the hope that we get AR glasses that weigh almost nothing at some point 😄

VR glasses
fair gull
also ar glasses wouldnt fully immerse you in a game
maybe an ar game but not the standard video game
shadow minnow
Well they could with self tinting glass
So you could get black background
With self tinting glass could just easily turn AR glasses into VR and back
reef patrol
also ar glasses wouldnt fully immerse you in a game
I just want to be able to flip between game and looking at whatever my eyes would normally see instantly without taking goggles off 😄

if we understand how projecting imgaes into thoughts works
we could have way more immersive games

Just because companies are considered persons on a legal basis, doesn't mean they have genders, Tony.
I mean it CAN be - But you'll also find people who disagree with folks using "dude" in the same way.

I never said it had to be - I'm pointing out that one person's bro is not another person's bro 😛

bro u sure bro. bro im not sure if i agree with you bro. bro over there says bro is that so i trust bro in this
u know that their is the possessive of them/they?
u see thats not how it works

fair gull
anyway generally bro isnt gender neutral
im not ure bro
im not ure brother
im not anything related to you nor would i wanna be related to you in any form
i think youve read to much from the bible

darwinism would disagree with us all being related
well for one @reef patrol is a duck

the american school system must have really failed if it got this far
shadow minnow
darwinism would disagree with us all being related
Wrong
Every human being related isn’t just a bible thing, many scientists seem to think so too.
And well it’s very likely that at least almost every human would be somehow related
fair gull
very unlikely that only 1 male and 1 female ape evolved and we decended from those 2
shadow minnow
It’s not about that, there were probably more
fair gull
and its very unlikely we are all related beyond genetic similarities due to being human
frozen ingot
https://tenor.com/view/suffer-ask-siri-fml-fuck-my-life-help-me-gif-17797403
because there are people like him talking on the phone like that
shadow minnow
However over so many years even if you had 100 of them that humans evolved from, it’s statistically very likely that at some point these have mixed over the time
Well statistics disagree
Very isolated humans may have a very small chance but otherwise
fair gull
at some point youre not related anymore because ure genetically so different that you just dont share any similarities considered related
junior ore
Everyone does look different. No ones a clone of each other unless born twins and even then their brain is different.
As to why the organs and stuff is the same : evolution. And those bits are changing over time.
shadow minnow

Well that’s not the point of this really. You still are in definition of the word related.
And well your genes are similar to ones you are more closely related to
shadow minnow
One of many sources that well say that humans prosbbly are all related

Evolution is a species-wide thing, not individual

Scrolling up, i don't think they were implying any of that. @fair gull
In fact i dont see anyone actually disagreeing avoit evolution
We were earlier.
Prior it was all, like, defining the word bro and slang
That was weird
fair gull
ya and then i said i dont wanna be related in any way to them and they started saying were all related
junior ore
Well, its a relative term (bazinga)
fair gull
at some point its not really being related
ure genetically so distant that theres no real relation
junior ore
Aye
Theres a large distance generation wise, hopefully
But we are all related, distant or not.
I cant recall how much distance is required
fair gull
at some point id not call it related anymore
junior ore
Again its a relative term. It depend on the range of scope. On the family side : yes its far from related.
On the genetics side : related

because arm or x86 does not matter

neither is inherently worse or better for one or another general purpose

this the same guys that did the LEAP stuff that was those sensors?
ashen spindle
if by that you mean the magic leap 1 yes
junior ore
yeee, good fun stuff that was.
also that is massively incorrect to say it doesn't matter between arm and x86
there's even possible massive incompatibilities due to AMR being a RISC based architecture.
ashen spindle
it would be because that it's a different ISA yes, CISC/RICS is more of a side effect, and one can debate if arm even counts as risc still
https://www.extremetech.com/computing/323245-risc-vs-cisc-why-its-the-wrong-lens-to-compare-modern-x86-arm-cpus one read for that
junior ore
i'll def read that
ashen spindle
but his point was a small device would benefit from arm so it's about power efficency etc. not about needing translation layers
and if you make the chip in x86, arm risc-v or whatever is not the relevant part for that
apple didnt use arm because its better its because they literally can't use x86 and riscv is/wasn't mature enough

they had ZERO speed control and all were racing to be the fasterestest

Imagine dumping billions into Chip design and this happens
thick elk
That's not intel though but the chinese board partner making that card.
still stupid though.
Regardless in terms of gaming, you have a chip that is 1.5x the die size of a 6400/6500xt and still underperforms the former while consuming more power.
Of course they may have allocated more to their media decoding portion but still it shows
stark bobcat
hmm I wonder what they will price this at in the west if it s above the 6400 it s not a viable purchase
thick elk
Even at the same ore slightly below it will it offer poor value for gaming.
It really would need to undercut it quite a bit
ashen spindle
most likely at 0$ with no volume for the west
stark bobcat
hopefully this card is ass and not competitive
ashen spindle
what why would you hope for less competetive optiosn
stark bobcat
well this isnt much of an option
I hope they bring something decent at some point but I d hate for intel to ruin their brand credibility in the space with a product like this
stark bobcat
Why are you hoping for it to be bad then?

reading comprehension isn't your strong suit
astral haven
astral haven
Mistype I suppose
thick elk
In the current market there is definitely a pricepoint it will sell, looking at the dutch prices it could be competitive at € 150 ish
stark bobcat
the real text should be "hopefully, this card is ass and not competitive"
or you could even do a full stop
astral haven
Regardless of punctuation
"Ass and not competitive" is bad
stark bobcat
In the current market there is definitely a pricepoint it will sell, looking at ...
not many buying at that price point will have rebar I am gussing

actually seeing 6400's coming down even that would be a bit high.
stark bobcat
Regardless of punctuation
"Ass and not competitive" is bad
yes I am saying: this card sucks and would not do much to the market
astral haven
Does it?
stark bobcat
look at the review and make up your own mind
I would not buy this over any of the other options around 150€
thick elk
It is still viable for a completely new budget build at that price or a htpc where it's main use is its media engine
stark bobcat
there are cheaper display adapters
astral haven
Its the best media engine available
To the point where it might make sense to add to a system with a serious gaming gpu
Just for quicksync
Now for an Nvidia system? Not so much
junior ore
Imagine dumping billions into Chip design and this happens
lmao, thats the best 😂
thick elk
Also my € 150 was in the assumption that the cheapest 6400 was still 180, now that I looked closer and saw one at € 160 that changes things for gaming
thick elk
chinese pricing is kind of weird as far as I know, not always something you can compare 1 to 1
junior ore
hmmm.... there should be options like, 100-150 dollar cards. like. honestly not everyone is well off but, like. sometimes people also want a budget set up or not even care about modern AAA games that sap so much hardware.
modern low-ends are justified.
astral haven
And if Intel releases it above 120 in the us I would be shocked
astral haven
what is the price in china for this?
It converts to about 150 usd
stark bobcat
they would be making a loss at that pricepoint most likely I am gussing
astral haven
Not a chance
stark bobcat
considering how much they spent on rnd
astral haven
Boxed it probably costs them less than $80
Card itself probably $70
astral haven
considering how much they spent on rnd
Irrelevant that's sunk cost fallacy
thick elk
They don't need to make back rnd on this one, I am pretty sure they knew their first gen was going to cost them.
As long as they make a profit per unit sold they would be happy.

Maximize revenue by maximizing profit
Maximize profit by selling exactly at market value
stark bobcat

where are u getting these numbers

Dice
thick elk
They need mind / market share without bleeding too much money in the process. I don't think anyone at intel would seriously expect to really turn a profit on the first generation cards.

yeah something that performs this badly without rebar will leave many with a sour taste in their mouths
junior ore
if they really thought they wouldn't be making a profit from this campaign : they wouldn't go with it.

Even if this was true, if you think this card costs more than $100 to make you are better off actually using dice to guess the price

resizable bar is no big deal imo, moving forward cpu's generally support it. It only comes in to play parnering it with older systems.

In the short term they need to be cash flow positive for hardware and thats it
The rnd will pay for itself in the future
thick elk
The thing is if their next generation of gpu's will not bring in profits or at least put them closer to it that will be more important.
Of course they expect to be making money of their gpu's, just not immidiately with their first entry in the market.

agp lmfao
junior ore
or if those are PCI or PCI-E
stark bobcat
aka dying very fast

to AGP credit
at the time the best expansion slot was PCI and it sucked balls for the newer video cards that were needing more power, and no one wanted to be like 3DFX to plug in a pwoer adapter to the back of the case.
SO AGP served well ( mostly) until PCI-E came out
frozen ingot
