Hehe. The RAM stick is no-frills. It doesn't have LEDs or anything.
proud jay
what makes them better than other DDR5 sticks?
summer cedar
I assume that's why it's so cheap.
Hopefully nothing, Dieter, other than the price.
empty dune
what makes them better than other DDR5 sticks?
Its cheap, an average 32 gig ram would be normally almost double its price
proud jay
maybe it's cheap for a reason though
summer cedar
Everything except the CL latency is almost the same as other RAM sticks, too.
empty dune
Yeah, ill have to see
summer cedar
The latency is around 40. Other RAM sticks give you 36.
BUT, based on what I read, that doesn't really make much of a difference, unless you are running workstation heavy tasks.
empty dune
Could be a scam too, who knows
summer cedar
I checked YT. That's why I mentioned their 1GB DDR4. That's authentic.
errant raven
The ram is designed to use your GPU to mine bitcoin and send it to the scumbags pc
summer cedar
But, the company, being Indian, doesn't apply for any of the international licenses, certificates, etc. etc. Which probably helps make it cheaper.

neat, code compiled. Sucks that I forgot to properly implement the function I just made before I hit compile
tulip orbit
yeah, just added. Hopefully I fixed all the copy paste changes properly
oh noes. is my compy not behaving or..... nope! is my code. it compiled, started the editor, locked up and gave me an unhandled exception 🙂
buh. its erroring on a call to a multicast delegate .Broadcast call... and its like the 6th call of it.
tulip orbit
no, but sswires in #cpp suggested downloading the engine debug symbols. Which didnt help me, as I dont understand 99% of engine code. It just gave me an error deeper in the code that I'm even less likely to understand. BUT, I did finally notice that my map was regenerating endlessly and causing issues
while I was testing I found a random seed that it couldnt find a valid start point on, so I was telling it to try restarting the map generator. But I wrote that code wrong 😦 had if(!bRandomSeed) but is opposite of what I need!
tulip orbit
nay. just if(bRandomSeed){ startOver;} if I'm setting the seed manually, I dont want it to restart
summer cedar
Why does it automatically restart though?
Shouldn't that happen only if you specify that operation?

So, so long as bRandomSeed is false, a function will be executed. Once it's true, it'll stop? 🤔

and how have you come to that conclusion?

300 Mbps here as well. Are you using BSNL, too?
empty dune
nope, jio. also thats when i get the booster. i normally pay for the 30 mbps plan kek
brittle holly
Steam really needs better download speeds. 10Mbps is painfully slow
What people don’t realize is that Steam also unpacks while downloading so that can slow you down a bit
I’m on gigabit bandwidth and the highest it usually goes is like 50-60mbps
summer cedar
I’m on gigabit bandwidth and the highest it usually goes is like 50-60mbps
What storage do you use for the Steam games?
brittle holly
What storage do you use for the Steam games?
Main SSD drive
summer cedar
🤔 I suspect ISP shenanigans.
brittle holly
Doubt, speed tests return fine. It’s prly the SSD not being fast enough it’s not NVME
summer cedar
No, no. Not with speed tests. The ISPs sometimes throttle specific IP (addresses, whatever) that people use too much.
So, if lots of people are using Steam, for instance, they tend to limit the speeds to ensure smooth operations.
Not enough to be a PITA, but enough to not cost them an arm and a leg.
brittle holly
🤷♂️ could also be too many people downloading the same game so their own servers slow down
summer cedar
That too.
brittle holly
Either way, I don’t rly need it to be faster. Kind of at the point of marginal utility when it comes to download speed
10mins is fast enough
summer cedar
So far, the only game that's brought my Steam to 20 mbps is Satisfactory.
brittle holly
And COD is not worth buying anymore so yeah
summer cedar
Every update is SLOW AS.... !@#$!@!!.
All the other games get 200mbps. 😄
Uh, sorry.. 240.
shy veldt
I have gig business class internet hooked up to my apartment and steam usually still dl at 20mb to 40mb
brittle holly
What’s your drive Windus
I still suspect drive not being able to handle both download and extract
summer cedar
Main drive is a Samsung EVO, but Steam games are stored on a Silicon Power NAND SSD - slower than the expensive Samsung.
brittle holly
Oh weird
shy veldt
Bring out the pitch forks and Tesla flamethrowers.
Homemade ones are much better snd cheaper. Nail polish remover with some ever clear, duct tape, zippo, and a pen; you're smoking!
brittle holly
I’d googled this before but everyone reported similar speeds to mine and said it’s cause of unpacking
summer cedar
It's definitely that with Satisfactory and Mechwarrior 5.
Steam unpacks EVERYTHING before updating.
Literally EVERY SINGLE file.
brittle holly
I mean hold on, cause if we’re talking about unknown demos you’ve been playing, it’s very likely they’re tiny and not really in need of compression
summer cedar
No, no. All the other games get 240 mbps, peak speeds, and updates are fast.
It's just Satisfactory and MW 5.
Both games have that problem - known issue.
summer cedar
It's the unpacking that you mentioned.
brittle holly
I get 30-40 for those
summer cedar
Steak definitely doesn't have updating issues. 😛
When I buy a new computer, I'll get 4TB Nvme(s) anyway. 😄
Then, I'll keep ALL my 650 games installed ALL the time.

brittle holly
I’m kinda content with my 870 EVO. Only thing that’s really concerning is how big UE is getting lol
brittle holly
Oh mine is only 1TB
I keep all games I’ve played and done with where they belong. In Steam’s cloud 😀
brittle holly
Gotta be careful with the housing tho
I used to have an 860, the SATA housing broke when installing it once cause it’s made out of very fragile plastic
brittle holly
So for 1.5 years if the cable wasn’t positioned perfectly (i.e. accidentally bumped the pc), it would go straight to recovery screen cause the drive thought it was unplugged
Yeah, the female connector on the EVO
summer cedar
ack!
brittle holly
Needless to say it was brutal
summer cedar
I can imagine.
brittle holly
Cause it took playing it with it each time to get it back to perfect position lol
summer cedar
I did that with the Silicon Power SSD the first few times.
My laptop was like, "What drive? Me shut down NAOW!"
I was like, "SCREWDRIVER!!!!!!!!"
3 times later, it's fine now.
I wish they'd make 10TB Micro SD cards. Only 2TBs so far.
brittle holly
Those are slow af no?
summer cedar
Basically, yes.
Sandisk's Ultra 1TB MicroSD goes as fast as a 7200 RPM HDD, reportedly.
SO, one step back for speed, one step forward for hiding your p0rn in tiny places.

I am speaking to an ex-Researcher from NTT - the mobile company. He's retired now. He used to develop optical fiber cable tech.
I get to speak with some amazing people. 🙂
They worked on solving the fragility of the fiber optic glass and the problem caused by hydrogen causing transmission loss in the long-term.
😄 After they came up with a solution, the research group was disbanded. Apparently, NTT closed shop in that area.

This movie was a huge part of bloodbornes inspiration

My most memorable moment from witcher 3 was fighting a stone golem at level 6 and killing it after like 3 hours of perfect dodging and stabs. That thing's basic attack could one shot me lol. Then i went up in level and found out the game was throttling my damage cause i wasn't of the correct level bracket
It was really annoying

It was a camping ad tho
Last time I went camping was 4 years ago and it costed $2k
3 day trip
cursive crypt
3 days, 2k for a tent outdoor?
errant raven
Yes
errant raven
It is very boring
Just go fishing or swimming, much cheaper and that's all you really do anyways. Wanna cook over a fire just make a fire pit at home
Spend that money going to the beach or something more entertaining
errant raven
3 days, 2k for a tent outdoor?
Reallly gotta factor in traveling fees (gas and roadtrip snacks), place in Tennessee costed about $150 per night(?), food to cook there, fishing bait expenses, swimming gear expenses because kids are irresponsible and break shit. And the money it cost to replace the tent because we left the poles that hold it up all the way back at home
cursive crypt
This makes more sense. Few years ago we did an week long trip with cars in southeast Europe, including camping and some hostels and it was less than $1k converted.
errant raven
I'd have more fun going to look at cars than camping
cursive crypt
Might be the company & mood. We had a great time, even camping we did a lot of things together all the time.
errant raven
Nah it used to be really fun
Most places have been converted to RV camping only
Which isnt camping, it's just a mobile trailer park at that point
Place we used to go to had rock climbing, fishing, ziplining, and a big ass lake with inflatable slides
Need an RV to camp there now
cursive crypt
Hmm... It does not sound so good, yep. Probably most ppl just search for convenience ie hotel on wheels.
errant raven
I have all these camping skills I cant even use now
cursive crypt
Surely there are some places you can go with a tent?
errant raven
If we spend a lot more on gas yeah
Living in the middle of bum fuck nowhere already kind of counts as camping, no?
cursive crypt
Kinda, especially in a house with less facilities. I know such ppl.
errant raven
Besides, a lot of the tent camping places here are also public places and since we live right by them, dont really need to go camping to enjoy the lake
cursive crypt
For me, it counts. I moved next to the city low mountains/hills and suddenly I have no such urge to hike during the weekends.
errant raven
I live in a very mountainous area, so going on hiking trails to get to the top, seeing the entire town and the next two towns over is great
Until I shit myself from being too high up

I hate to say this but star wars was better off in EA hands than what its at now. We got jedi fallen order and survivor, two games with absolutely stellar stories and writing (yeah performance is bad but atleast some part of the game was great), that rogue squadron game, battlefront 1 and 2 (yes, i know there were lootboxes initially but battlefront 2 was genuinely a good game and the moment ea removed the lootboxes it started shining. And then they killed it), hell we even got swtor and that has the best story campaign in any mmo ive ever seen
pearl elk
youre forgetting about all the amazing Star Wars games before EA
the one that was actually called Rogue Squadron for eg 😛
empty dune
oh i wasnt comparing that era, that era was 100% the best. i just said compared to now, EA seemed to be better. but it was 100% worse than what came before
pearl elk
Im not even sure Jedi Fallen Order was still when EA had the exclusive license, I think it fell just after. There was also one that never made it through and now look what Amy Hennig is doing
empty dune
fallen order was about in the middle of the EA exclusivity iirc. the amy hennig one was just sad, that studio didnt deserve to die like that
pearl elk
I actually liked Battlefront 2s SP, I think alot of people did but as always too short

not a bad line up honestly, most of them have some parts that were spectacular

I actually liked Battlefront 2s SP, I think alot of people did but as always too...
yeah, i liked it too. The multiplayer after they removed the loot boxes was amazing as well
and then typical EA fashion they killed it right when it was most popular
pearl elk
exclusivity was set to expire in 2023 but it got cut short in 2021
pearl elk
and then typical EA fashion they killed it right when it was most popular
they did the same thing to all the others, the "battle" franchise can only sustain so much in regards to critical mass and I felt they purposefully downplayed their own products to reduce cannibalising
empty dune
yeah, it was confirmed that the battlefront 2 team was moved to the battlefield V project
seriously, battlefront 2 died so battlefield V could flop about

oh yeah definitely. worst part was the specialist roles and you had to play in the second seat of the tank or the 3rd seat of the apc to level up that specific skill tree, was really annoying
did you know the tanks had a third seat?
all it did was have a laser painter
you had to grind in that seat for about a few hours to unlock a tiny machinegun
pearl elk
lol well least its not another holo scope unlock
empty dune
lol
empty dune
did you know the tanks had a *third* seat?
this was so stupid, it essentially made you a spectator. and if someone left the second seat, the game would plop you from the third back into the second. which was annoying when you were specifically trying to level up the third

Yep. I've had fun with their games, even if I don't stick with them long through the grind.
Given that, I am sure they have a pretty good audience. Didn't they also buy some other studios recently?
Googles
In Feb, it was reported that they have invested $125 million in a new single player game.
They've got their hooks in many mobile game studios as well. I think they'll be fine.
They also increased hiring by 3.88% and employ 13,400 people. Given the upward hiring trend, I think they're just going to be dishing out more games in the future.

Exactly, it is all about money and the best way to extract them. It just happens to be through videogame related stuff 🤑

Always.
Honestly, if they want to stay in business for the next millennium, all they have to do is successfully tap India and China. The customer base will be so huge, that even a few good mobile phone games will give them funding to whip their Western customers wantonly.

Where are you getting these stats? They dropped 5% of workforce in Feb and 6% in April
And based on their unpolished releases and never fixing them , at least on PC, their strategy for making money is the “haha you bought it anyways”
Eventually that might catch up to them
summer cedar
The overall employee numbers at the end of 2023 were up 3.88% from 2022, according to Google.
It didn't mention the layoffs in Feb and April.
And, I think it's just 5% layoffs overall, not 5 and 6?
There's a 5% layoff last month and one mentioned 5 days ago on Google; I think that's the same 5%.
summer cedar
Yeah, makes sense. That'd be around 5%.

Either way, my point wasn’t whether they’ll stay profitable
Rather wishful thinking for the good of the players

Are you trying to avoid paying to a trillions rich corporation?
No.
I like 'rich'.
They are giving me no choice though.
Unless I actually buy that $3,000 computer I mentioned by 2025.
summer cedar
and how to play what others are playing
More importantly, are you now a proponent of democracy?
Because it's been about 2.5 hours and 'some' people suggested it'd take you 7.
timber viper
first 1 hours is download time
so far i played 10 minutes
and yes I like spreading democracy so far
though I guess my character is relative of some politican, I keep ending up in simple operations
send me to vietnam, assholes
i wanna have PTSDs
cursive crypt
No.
I like 'rich'.
They are giving me no choice though.
This kinda connects with why some german gov organisations wanted the other day to move to Linux 🤔
proud jay
so far i played 10 minutes
so have you just done tutorial?
how do you have 0 encounters lol
even on trivial difficulty
unless you like join someone that is doing a stop illegal broadcast mission that just destroys it from the extraction point
but trivial and easy are quite... well... easy
medium is already lots of fun though
well I was enjoying it from the start
summer cedar

Makes sense. I think the Indian government has some engineers working on a homemade OS.
It wasn't because they wanted to move away from MS, but more because of some China something.

GaneshaOS™
summer cedar
Meh, why can't we call get along, so that Dieter can make some cheap wooden pro-gaming hardware and we can all buy them for $50?
summer cedar
GaneshaOS™
Close. They call it BharOS, shortened from Bharat.
I think they based it on Linux. 🤷
I've never used it myself though.

China got their own Linux distro time ago.

Developed by the Military, lol
summer cedar
Yes, we should all have our isolated OSes.
Let us encourage the hatred. Join the DARK SIDE. Bring forth the SITH!
cursive crypt
More isolation & nationalism, better the world.

MEG X670E GODLIKE - 🤣 This thing showed up when I looked for made in India motherboards. It's not made in India, probably assembled, comes from Taiwan. The bloody thing is SO DAMN EXPENSIVE.
proud jay
Yes, we should all have our isolated OSes.
but all actually just different skins of linux

why is there blood on it?

Better be Vampire blood.
It's 3 times more expensive than the Aorus Master I have pegged for my rig.
cursive crypt
Not only skins, also backdoors available only to the corresponding gov. The only one which has the right to big brother you.
summer cedar
Skynet, take over please. 🙏
cursive crypt
Its building, expected end time 2028 iirc
proud jay

why are you pegging mobos?
summer cedar
Can't drill them. Pegging is the best way to go.
Prove me wrong. Drill a mobo now!!!
FOR DEMOCRACY!
proud jay
why do I want to drill a mobo?
summer cedar
For.... de.... mo... cra... seee.
proud jay
I'll first have to make a nice cup of liber tea
summer cedar
Remember to bake some free dough.
Dang. Time is flying. May is approaching.
I dread having to stand in line with plebians to vote.
Especially because it'll probably be 38C outside at the time.
🤣 Lok Sabha (Indian legislative body) pre-poll survey: Unemployment a key issue for Indian voters. ---
Uhuh. Welcome to AI-cracy. 😄
proud jay
why are you voting outside
proud jay
🤣 Lok Sabha (Indian legislative body) pre-poll survey: Unemployment a key issue...
you overestimate AI
summer cedar
I'll be standing outside (in the queue), waiting to enter the even hotter room to vote.
proud jay
bring a parasol
summer cedar
you overestimate AI
Oh no. Several sectors are already replacing lower-level employees with AI bots and shit. It's not getting international coverage because it's Indian news. The lower-middle-class and new middle-class are the most impacted. Of course, there was already a certain degree of unemployment, thanks to the huge population, but it'll only get worse.
As an election issue, I doubt they'll get any relief with their vote.
proud jay
like what jobs
summer cedar
bring a parasol
I am used to the sun. I like it, in fact. The parasol won't do much about the temperature.
summer cedar
like what jobs
Right off the top of my head, clerks (in banks that I know of), copywriters, and call centre employees.
There was another news item about 10 jobs that have become obsolete other than the ones I mentioned, but I forgot.
It's mostly the people earning Rs.20,000/- and thereabouts who are impacted - read, laid off.
proud jay
lol no
maybe if you do trivial and just the main ojective
I think most of my missions take like 30-40 min
you should join some randos
Bench update, did some routing and rough sanding, looks pretty much the same though
proud jay
not at all really
I was surprised by it too
maybe like 1 or 2 mm sway if you really try
rare mauve
i see everything now from the vantage point of "what will it look like if it has to endure 2 minutes with my toddlers without me screaming at them to not touch it"
proud jay
I don't have to account for toddler activity yet so we good
rare mauve
to prevent swaying?
to convert relative rotational motion between parts into forces directed along strong compressive/tensile axes and... fuck my education, yes, to prevent swaying
proud jay
I think it's sturdy by the way it's made though, the 3 top bars are connected to the side bar by half lap joints, so the overhang already blocks movement, and the feel attached to the top with 2 dowels in each leg, and since the legs themselves are quite wide, it doesn't allow for much movement, for sure not when there's weight on top

We must prove that it is.
First, find a fat dude.
You can intuit the rest.

well, I have a mirror
summer cedar
No. We need you to fix any problems.
Find another one.
Or make one; but that'd take time.
proud jay
lol
summer cedar
The Ministry of Silly Walks is probably something that'd get a lot of votes in an election.

god damn look at nicholas cage dance

True, but the corrupt dude who'd be appointed thereto would get a ton of votes, methinks.

Community was so funny at times

Every time I think of Nicholas Cage, which is infrequent thank God, I can't help but remember Face Off.
errant raven
Did you learn to sew
summer cedar
I bet I've seen him in other movies prior to that, but that performance is memorable for some reason.
rare mauve
national treasure or bust
summer cedar
Get an Optimus. By the time you buy it, that robot will be able to sew.
It can alread fold the laundry.
rare mauve
imdb's rating of national treasure is wrong it's supposed to be 69/10 not 6.9/10
summer cedar
but the foam thing is so expensive
Wait. Is this a foam seat for the table?
errant raven
If theres any Walmart's in europe, they got pretty cheap foam pads like that
proud jay
Wait. Is this a foam seat for the table?
what
proud jay
imdb's rating of national treasure is wrong it's supposed to be 69/10 not 6.9/10
I actually remember liking it back in the day
summer cedar
what
I wondered whether you were going to create a seat to glue to that table, so it'd become a bench.
proud jay
that was like 15 years ago though or something
summer cedar
I connected that with sewing... for some reason.
proud jay
I wondered whether you were going to create a seat to glue to that table, so it'...
it is a bench
and no glue
rare mauve
that's it. let's steal the declaration of independence
proud jay
I was considering making a cushion to sit on the bench
summer cedar
Yeah, that's why I was asking.
errant raven
Maybe try buying from a upholstery shop that deals with couches and stuff, could be cheaper than going to the upholstery suppliers place
errant raven
Yeah, that's why I was asking.
I only built half a side of that giant ass world tree lol
proud jay
Yeah, that's why I was asking.
but it's not a table
summer cedar
Good work. That's a lot of effort even for that much of a tree.
I see what you mean. The Japanese have got some short tables. I've got used to seeing all kinds of furniture these days.
errant raven
Yeah, it's about 20 blocks long, and 130 blocks tall
proud jay
if it was a table, why would I have gaps in it
that seems very impractical for a table
summer cedar
True, but you can always stick a board on top of it, or a foam cushion.
proud jay
why would I completely make a custom table to then stick a board on top
summer cedar
Actually, while I am saying that, we've got some tables over here that look like what you've created.
With the gaps and all.
Super cheap ones that some peeps jury-rig.
proud jay
well, that says more about the way you live though
summer cedar
why would I completely make a custom table to then stick a board on top
Actually, remove the glue and use bolts instead. You'd have a modular small-table-cum-bench, adjustable as required.
errant raven
Seems like a good place to sploog
summer cedar
Actually, what're those air/vaccuum based locks that you can use instead of bolts called?
proud jay
you have no taste
errant raven
An air lock?
summer cedar
Maybe.... googles
Ah. Vaccuum Hooks and Vaccuum Locks.
That'd remove the need to screw and unscrew.
proud jay
idk how you'd even want to adjust it
summer cedar
Clamp the board down for a table and get rid of it when I want to sit on it, I guess.
