the amazon refurbished one is 80€ less

#

but that thing is probably slow af kekw

novel horizon
#

"as renewed", yeah, but still

void void
#

or you pick it up in person shrug

novel horizon
#

at that point just buy a phone

#

with external keyboard lol

worthy geode
#

but smol screen

novel horizon
#

you'll get used to it

#

👀

worthy geode
#

But yeah, if you want a laptop that is actually decent and practical, save some more money. Below 600-700€ there isn't anything good

novel horizon
#

i found one amazing thing

#

bigger screen thinksmart

worthy geode
#

11 inch screen, thats cute

vernal moth
#

Before getting the low spec chrome books just use your phone and connect keyboard and screen instead

novel horizon
#

it is cute, tbh

vernal moth
#

More powerful most likely

novel horizon
#

yeah i said that but 😦

vernal moth
#

And similar feature set

novel horizon
#

even a phone for 300 usd is gonna be great overall

vernal moth
#

Samsung Dex is really cool

novel horizon
#

i mean i got one and it's great for me...

vernal moth
#

Not sure how good the desktop experience on other Android phones is

novel horizon
#

yeah, idk

jovial plover
#

At a stretch I could go for 400

novel horizon
#

i suppose keyboard is fine

golden gust
#

Bro

#

your budget sucks donkey dick

novel horizon
#

400 gbp?

#

still tho

jovial plover
#

yes

golden gust
#

You are not getting "new" hardware capable of doing too much at that price point

#

Just accept it lol

novel horizon
#

it is really better to get phone, it will be A LOT powerful (i know funny) than notebook at that point, even lower

#

for about 300 you get phone, and for 100 you can find some other things lol

jovial plover
#

I have a tablet

worthy geode
#

for 400 you probably could get something acceptable in used condition

jovial plover
#

Y e a h

golden gust
#

oh god, I remember my first android tablet

#

Thing broke after a while

dusty timber
#

You can get a nice dell business class laptop second hand with an i7 for 400

golden gust
#

pulled it apart and the main storage was a USB stick with the connector removed in place of a soldered cable practically flapping in the breeze

dusty timber
#

But you’re not gonna get anything worthwhile for 400 new

worthy geode
#

I still have some samsung tablet, its horrendously slow even though its not really that old

novel horizon
#

it even has a ssd!

golden gust
#

it has eMMC

wide chasm
#

I still have a Samsung Galaxy tab which is probably nine years old or so today, still works, has never had to be fixed.

golden gust
#

which is basically just a flash chip

novel horizon
#

celeron n4000 👀

#

yeah, ofc

#

it sucks

golden gust
#

as I said, at that budget it's purely in the "my first laptop!" range

#

Literally not worth looking at unless maybe you go wish.com kek

novel horizon
#

yeah i'd save more and get one that can last at least few years

worthy geode
dusty timber
#
novel horizon
#

it was kinda weird, yeah

#

but even then

dusty timber
#

450

novel horizon
#

can you even look at video? you cant

golden gust
#

Tbqh, the native hardware in those intel chips are pretty decent

vernal moth
golden gust
#

Like, you're not gonna be gaming on it, but, with hardware accel, video stuff should be fine

novel horizon
#

get raspberry pi already

dusty timber
#

@jovial plover if you can get to 450 that ryzen laptop might be worth a look

vernal moth
#

Somebody is dumping stock, the laptop is worth more than that

worthy geode
#

the AMD ideapads are surprisingly cheap

dusty timber
#

Battery life on the 7nm chips is fine too

#

Especially for the price

vernal moth
#

Wifi 6, USB c, fucking SD card reader even, that's a great deal

novel horizon
#

yeah its decent

#

maybe id even save a bit more

mild rune
#

damn I wish that existed when I started college lmfao

novel horizon
#

but those ryzen laptops are good kinda

vernal moth
#

Guess they subsidize it like crazy on the bloat

dusty timber
#

Yeah LMAO

worthy geode
#

the 5500u is zen2 tho

dusty timber
#

You gotta nuke that thing asap

novel horizon

#

LMAOOOO

novel horizon
#

that cpu is okay

dusty timber
#

Yeah just reinstall windows and you’re good

novel horizon
#

yeah

#

you would keep the license probably, right

#

#

🤷‍♂️

#

worth

vernal moth
#

Only meh is the 6gb ram but only one stick is soldered so can upgrade down the line

novel horizon
#

yeah

vernal moth
#

(iirc AMD gives 2gb to the GPU?)

novel horizon
#

id save a little bit more still, but if i cant choose its okayish for some time

mild rune
#

It's dynamic afaik

dusty timber
#

I have a legit copy of windows 10 ltsc from a friend of mine who had access to Microsoft’s licensing server

novel horizon
#

but if u get something better it can last longer

dusty timber
#

I really wish they sold that version of windows

#

It’s so clean

#

There’s nothing on it

#

At all

novel horizon
#

not even system?

dusty timber
#

They had a MSDN subscription or something for their business

#

I forget what it’s called

#

It used to be called technet

#

Like a long time ago

worthy geode
#

the bloat usually comes from the manufacturer. if you get a fresh .iso from MS its pretty clean too

dusty timber
#

Yeah but it’s nothing compared to ltsc :v

#

It’s so fast

#

And tidy

vernal moth
#

You can disable stuff you don't want easily too

#

No need for potentially outdated ltsc

dusty timber
#

It’s latest, it’s through Microsoft direct it’s not a random web iso

#

But yeah

#

Windows 10 pro can get there too it’s just more effort

vernal moth
#

windows 10

#

What's the EOL on that?

mild rune
#

I just nuke the fuck out of services on my windows installs

dusty timber

I haven’t used 11 yet because my understanding was it still had teething issues

visual egret
#

ripe sphinx
#

novel horizon
#

tbh i was trying win 11 like 8 months ago and it was weird, but i just tried and "upgraded" my win 10 to win 11 and it looks pretty fine, so

dusty timber
#

How’s it been for y’all?

novel horizon
#

i probably will use it from now on

golden gust
#

I mean

vernal moth
#

I haven't noticed any issues on win11 at all

mild rune
#

my today's W11 breakage was the taskbar going behind windows even after restarts

golden gust
#

There is some pros to being stuck on 10

#

Maybe they'll stop fucking touching it!

worthy geode
#

Win11 works fine for me, I like the new start menu & settings more than the old one

visual egret
#

after eol lmfao

#

not even

ripe sphinx
#

I also keep having my taskbar icons randomly vanish. The buttons are still there, just no icon

novel horizon
#

i wouldnt wait for eol whatever

#

ill just use it and be happy with it

#

^^

#

worthy geode

I lose this part of the taskbar regularly

visual egret

jovial plover

worthy geode

God XP was so ugly

vernal moth
#

Only thing I have right now, twice now actually, is that I can't put sound to my TV via HDMI until a restart, but for that I blame Nvidia not windows

mild rune

This is my actual volume control

golden gust

golden gust
#

I mean, that VM has issues...

mild rune
#

Windows XP was great

novel horizon
#

A little bit

vernal moth
#

XP looked great for it's time

#

Especially compared to the mess vista made

jovial plover
#

xp is great, even now

golden gust
#

I mean, there is defo a level of nostaligia love there

visual egret

worthy geode

I like the Windows design before that, that looks alright

visual egret
#

side note- fuck appimages

worthy geode

jovial plover

I just always hide all my desktop icons, I don't use them

golden gust
novel horizon

#

i got 3 months of ps last year

#

it was good

worthy geode
#

I got office for 9€ from my uni. But no idea why that included publisher or what that even is kekw

fallen grotto
# jovial plover office sucks

until you send your document from libre office and some stuff doesn't appear properly in word online and your teacher removes points for it

golden gust
#

publisher? that's like, the masterful way of creating any poster in uni

visual egret
#

but my school gets me all of Adobe CC for free so that makes up for it

#

can't imagine how much it costs them to give that to every single student

warm anchor
#

They get discounts

novel horizon
#

probably got a really big % off id guess

#

for a lot of people

limber knotBOT
#

has LibreOffice gone bad or something? I used to use OpenOffice all the time back in school lol

visual egret
#

still, 1000+ people is still pretty expensive i'd assume

golden gust
#

it screwed me over a few years ago good and proper

novel horizon
#

yeah but even then its prob worth it and much cheaper

#

you need those things so 🤷‍♂️

worthy geode
#

its marketing for Adobe. People get used to their software and want to use it later as well

golden gust
#

I mean, I guess if you're just creating basic word docs, etc, it can't go too wrong

warm anchor
#

Their goal is to get you to familiar with their products and once you go into the field you will continue to use them and hopefully paying them

golden gust
#

but, like, damn does it suck

visual egret
#

oh yeah

novel horizon
#

much cheaper than telling students to get them on their own

visual egret
#

because i am in love with adobe cc

#

it did work

limber knotBOT
#

never had any issue writing and formatting stuff in it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

golden gust
#

like, you never know what's gonna screw you over as soon as it's sent to office

limber knotBOT
#

and I regularly use their excel thingy

jovial plover
#

i liked my adobe photography plan

#

i got it free

golden gust
#

Do you open the docs you write inside of MS office?

jovial plover
#

from ms

limber knotBOT
#

why would you ever send something to office? lmao

novel horizon
#

i used it a bit before, but i kinda didnt like it, idk why

golden gust
#

PDF exists for a reason

worthy geode

novel horizon
#

i dont need it that often though, so when i do, i use google docs and it has been fine

visual egret
#

libreoffice, yeah

#

openoffice ☠️

worthy geode
#

Your teachers are allergic to PDFs? oO

#

They always required PDFs here

limber knotBOT
#

if they care about getting documents that they can write and format in then they better accept LaTeX lol

golden gust
#

some of them where pedantic AF and wanted to send office docs back and forth so that they could add notes, etc

visual egret
#

has a teacher ever given you a pdf worksheet

#

those are the most painful things to edit

limber knotBOT
#

well that's the point where you tell them "pay for my MS Office or gtfo"

visual egret
#

happned in lockdown a lot where they gave us stuff that was meant to be printed out in pdf

jovial plover
#

no school tmrw

visual egret
#

#

Well, yea

as much as adobes PDF stuff is a joke

#

so are the teachers on most IT courses over here

novel horizon

Whats the difference between the no table and the Contributor role?

novel horizon
#

Contributors are contributing to the paper

#

And people with no table have no tables obviously

cloud moat
#

So do you get the Contributor role after one contribution or do you need to be a recurring contributor

vernal moth
#

We invite people

cloud moat
#

Fair enough

novel horizon
#

I doubt you get there after one contribution, lol

#

I doubt you get anywhere with that 👀

cloud moat
#

Just not a fan of white, so I'm looking for a way to get a different color Kekw

novel horizon
#

Make a donate to the project

#

easy

vernal moth
#

Easiest way is to donate 👀

novel horizon
#

You get a nice icon

cloud moat
golden gust
#

a buck a fu.. nvm

novel horizon
#

We were just joking around, kinda

#

If you contribute, maybe they invite you after some time, but

#

Also being here a lot and talking with a lot of people might get you into mods team 👀

(if you are a nice person etc.)

Hey don't worry, just wanted to understand a roles in this server a bit better, since they're not really explained particularly well

cloud moat
vernal moth
#

If your goal is getting a role, that will get you nowhere generally

novel horizon
#

I mean

cloud moat
#

Nah, that was more of a joke tbh, just was interested in what the different roles meant

novel horizon
#

I think you could figure out what's no table too :p

golden gust
#

Rumour has it that it's called no table is because all the people in there have broken their tables after years of headbutting them

novel horizon
#

I mean even I'd like a role, but why, I'm not here that often

#

I was not here also because of some "toxic" people

#

Some people were not nice, sadly

#

Sounds right ^^

#

Listen here, poop breath

Now I feel bad for asking :c Don't worry about it, I get it :D

have you guys ever needed a 8388607-bit number

#

if so you'll be happy to learn that llvm supports them

visual egret
#

was about to mention politics, oops

frank otter
#

but why

lilac moon
#

idk i think it's just because theres no reason for them not to support it

#

:troll:

magic river
#

LLVM also supports 17 bit numbers

lilac moon
#

it allows you a maximum value of 2.1322437117797639362163644630428078773777100397478561078... × 10^2525222

magic river
#

And 15647 bit numbers

lilac moon
#

yep

frank otter
#

why are they all one bit off a nicer rounder number

#

signing?

lilac moon
#

because the max value isnt inclusive

magic river
#

The IR can work with whatever, I think if the backend doesn't have some logic to lower that to machine code or call out to a support library it just fails though?

lilac moon
#

probably

magic river
#

Like, you can make an amd64 backend for LLVM that just automatically using GMP or something to handle any bit length you want

ashen cliff
#

Would be interesting to see what a program could do, if AMD and Intel allowed custom instructions to be added by users instead of just them. kekwhyper
That microcode and embed ARM core are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

fn main() {
    let x: u128 = 340282366920938463463374607431768211455;

}

troll

#

this seems to work but idk if it's just optimizing it out

magic river
#

128-bit is the one they actually do support iirc

lilac moon
#

i dont have a 128 bit cpu though

#

so it must be doing the same thing to lower it to something my cpu can do

ashen cliff
#

You don't need one.

magic river
#

I dunno if they're just using AVX with a lane size of 1 or what

ashen cliff
#

You can get 64 bit stuff on a 32 bit CPU, just slow.

lilac moon
#

yeah but isnt that because of hardware support

magic river
#

x86 actually has an explicit 64-bit multiply on 32-bit

frank otter
#

would it just like to link support libraries? like how sometimes binaries randomly link in GNU floating-point math

magic river
#

Just multiply though afaik

frank otter
#

might be gcc-libs not gnu

ashen cliff
#

A lot of microcode magic goes into it, but yeah. I mean, they even made 32 bit CPUs with PAE, because why not. kekwhyper

magic river
#

Yeah, that would be a part of the libcompiler-rt or libm libraries some stuff ends up linking to

twin lagoon

spark is on track to replace timings

mild rune

holy shit

i stopped using it a bit back though because it was causing jvm crashes for me

mild rune

lilac moon
#

ill have to test and see if that still happens so i can actually report it

magic river
#

So everyone get N-bit support

golden gust
#

I just wish it didn't have the timings v1 limitation 😦

lilac moon
#

wholesome

twin lagoon
#

the what limitation

golden gust
#

the "everything is flatpacked and averaged out"

lilac moon
#

flatpak

twin lagoon
#

@jade mountain fix it hypershy

#

although that would probably require a serious rewrite

#

although maybe it wouldn't

golden gust
#

Like, I just semi wish that it was more possible to drill down into the data vs "this is however many ticks which you can't know however but this is how long that arbitary number of ticks took"

twin lagoon
#

would be dope to add a historical view like timings

golden gust
#

Like, that's pretty much the primary thing against me just blindly recommending spark profiles for everything

jade mountain
#

:]

lilac moon
#

yeah

golden gust
#

NO PRESSURE

twin lagoon
#

lots of pressure

golden gust
#

(Also, game rules, because random ticks)

jade mountain
#

can try! the two things I'd say are:
1- if you're only running for roughly 1min at a time (my recommendation) then having everything averaged is oki
2- to capture "laggy ticks" only (similar to what timings does), use the --only-ticks-over flag. this will only record samples for ticks which take longer than x amount of time to complete

#

gamerules I can do!

twin lagoon
#

which i guess spark isn't really intended for unlike timings

jade mountain
#

yea, that is true

golden gust
#

I just hate the arbitary # of ticks

twin lagoon
#

would be very neat to have though since then it could replace timings

golden gust
#

at the very least, maybe I missed it, log the number of samples in play

lilac moon
#

what if you could pick multipel levels for --only-ticks-over

#

so like groups of tick-times

jade mountain
visual egret
#

spark in paper confirmed monkaWW

golden gust
#

Yes

jade mountain
#

ok I will add to my list :]

golden gust
#

That way you can get a better guess of how long stuff actually took relative to what's going on

#

Like, you know entities are gonna hurt, it's just summarising up how much of a hurt they're having in a give period of time

jade mountain
#

👍 makes sense

They're super lax about that kind of thing for mods and such

The thing is for MC and doesn't claim to be MC so... you're probably fine

#

Although only because you aren't annoying Grum too much

golden gust
#

the guidelines don't seem to have anything against it

worthy geode
#

My only small little annoyance with spark is that you need to click way more to get to the actual thing that's causing lag.
An "Expand all" button is probably a bit too much, but idk, it just feels a bit harder

lilac moon
#

time to integrate spark directly into timings itself :trol:

this does not feel like a critique of the logo from a design POV, yeah

Well, im real life gay as well

Hope you get over rainbows too

visual egret
#

what you mean by "protecting" children is not educating them. when you dont educate children about something that happens to them bad things happen. it's like not telling young children about puberty. or sex ed. it's needed, and if you disagree you're simply wrong.

I'm not a fan of when people either swap a solid colored background for the flag, or mask their logo onto it. Usually ends up looking not great, too busy.
I suspect that's why I like kyori and ptero, they worked the rainbow into their design.

ddr3 is fine for budget stuff

yea

ddr4 is still the most common though in newer stuff tbh

jovial plover

yes

think best price/performance u can get now is probably i5/7 3rd/4th gen + SSD + RX570 4GB / 1060 3GB

no

only issue is it's from de/germany so they might not ship to me here in england

6th gen gets you to a newer socket

#

so, potential CPU upgrade options

what's the point? chipsets won't support anything above 7th gen

You not getting a dGPU in a system for under 500, lol

they're on a shit budget

6/7th gen is as dead as 4th gen?

and performance difference is... meh

golden gust

but yea, I mean, as said, for that budget you are kinda screwed

I would also consider looking into upgrade boxes

i.e. machines which might have a bit of wiggle room still

4th gen i5/i7 with 8/16gb ram + SSD will be probably like 150 EUR, and rx570 / gtx1060 probably another 100, 120 EUR
