idea is that i take DF i downloaded and ensure its in desired format:
take timestamps from it, take event IDs, and only then everything else.
thing about timestamps is that they need to be there, they need to be in correct dtype, and later will use it for sorting.
thing about event IDs is that they need to be there, they need to be integers, and unique.

so that's why these two where inserted in a more manual fashion, instead of iterating over desired column list.
and, now that is changed order, it seems to be working...

[mental oriole]

Strange. Better add a comment about ordering of columns if it's really that important. I'm guessing one column eating into data for another column somehow, assuming the dataframe has a fixed size.

[soft bloom]

and what's even weirder:

• it only occured on this larger dataset
• type enforcing operations that i slapped here earlier didn't help (or they did only temporarily)
• they ^ didn't raise any error when failed to change type
• actual erorr that i was seeing was because data convertion to float introduced NaN values, which where problematic
• i waguely recall trying to debug it earlier and spotting shift in the order of that float column (compared to int)... just by 1 row forward.

seems like some edge condition. have a thing for them. just like that bug in python 3.6.1 when asyncio was just a fresh addition

[soft bloom]

thankfully its not.
airc pandas is not doing any "magic" with DataFrames, just builds on top of numpy's clever usage of C

ok, maybe it does. in a way

i recall pandas making changes in the way it manages memory. maybe, just maybe, i hit some sort of limit with my data which makes it screw with data

which is definitely not a hard limit. some softer kind

cause i know it can grow much much larger

[mental oriole]

For sure. I'm just speculating here. Best of luck though.

[mental oriole]

"clever" 🙂

[soft bloom]

welp, it will be majestic when instead of C it will use Rust

[mental oriole]

My beloved C

I'm disappointed he didn't get life in prison: (only 25 years) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_QyEzvTSwg

[pure karma]

isent a life sentence 25 years tho?

[mental oriole]

Depends on the country.

[pure karma]

well yea thats not surprising

[visual tree]

He is probably going to get released earlier for "good behaviour"

[pure karma]

but if it happened in the US or something yea 25 year max per crime

or something around that

[visual tree]

Not sure if showing no remorse for crimes counts as "good behavior" lol

[tough owl]

life=till ya dead in america

[winged valley]

no its like 60 years I'm pretty sure

So technically survivable

[tough owl]

after some experimenting nvenc does not work properly with nvidia-open drivers on linux

[jagged snow]

Up to the judge
1st degree murder is typically 80 or 90 years

[winged valley]

Oh nvm then

[night girder]

Yeah, was thinking the same. But probably for my country 🙂

[maiden coyote]

will it mine?

[pure karma]

pretty much have narrowed it down to the jack has no power delivery which makes sense because its spotless

[pure karma]

you know now that i look at this board under a light it might just be long term corrosion from just simply being in humid areas

it has weird white circles and lines of some sort of white dust

[soft bloom]

i c

i heard rust doesn't allow poor code

[mental oriole]

It's still possible to write poor rust code. Just harder.

[pure karma]

i might just be dumb but like would this be light corrosion by chance

[mental oriole]

That's bad.

[pure karma]

so it is indeed corosion?

[mental oriole]

Looks like it.

[pure karma]

because its a little bit everywhere

and if these are water detectors or something than that probably answers it

because there is only 1 of like 20 thats still white

[mental oriole]

It depends if the circuit lines are damaged or not, but hard to see. But it deffo looks damaged.

[pure karma]

well the broken/not working headphone jack that i wanted to check out is here right next to the "light corrosion" but the big circle is right next to the CPU which is probably only worst

[maiden coyote]

looks like a test point. like a debug port

but other picture does look like water damage.

[mental oriole]

Test/ ground point.

[maiden coyote]

sure :p I've accessed uart through points like those. some are ground. they've got all kinds of purposes.

[pure karma]

its interesting that this thing would have water damage because it has passive cooling and has nerver been in direct contact whit any liquids so it has to just have been long therm humidity

[mental oriole]

No denying there 🙂

[maiden coyote]

it's a laptop. if it's humid and you carry it from the cold inside to the warm outside it'll sweat.

best thing to do in that case is keep it in a case inside a bag so it warms up slowly.

[pure karma]

its been in a bag and nerver been outside for 6 years

[maiden coyote]

well, you got it wet some how

[pure karma]

this is really making me want to check the alienware because that could explain uh this shitfest from sitting in the humid basement for 3 months unpowered

[pure karma]

well it looks like its been like that for atleast 10 months but its defedently getting a lot worse very fast

you can see a start to a circle even 10 months ago

[languid gulch]

corrosion with a 3mm drill bit 🤣

[sharp oasis]

I can't see shit

So. I know cooler size mean nothing really nowadays. But the 6700XT I am buying is as big as a 3090s cooler from the same linup

[languid gulch]

think the best thing i ever saw was pulling a old & very dead gpu in like 2008, & 2 of the fan blades were missing. not sitting broken & loose in the case, not a melted pile of goo, just GONE

[edgy hazel]

Fucking shitshow that is

[languid gulch]

here's gigabyte selling a triple fan 6500XT

[sharp oasis]

Like why the hell Asus. Casually make your 6700XT be the same damn size as a 3090

[sharp oasis]

Lmao

[languid gulch]

that's like dual radding a ryzen 5500

[sharp oasis]

Ik.

Like what

It pulls 250w max right

230-250

[tough owl]

School surplus special 😎

[languid gulch]

lol not even close

6600XT pulls like 142W

[sharp oasis]

No I'm saying for this mfkrt

Rx6700XT

[languid gulch]

ah

yea about

[sharp oasis]

230-250w on a cooler designed for what. Like 500-600w

[edgy hazel]

brb watercooling my ryzen 5500

[sharp oasis]

And yeah RX6500 pulls like what sub 100w

[languid gulch]

lol 107W

don't they sell some without PCIe power?

[sharp oasis]

Rx6400

[languid gulch]

ah

(ew)

[sharp oasis]

Teah

I'm still fucking in shrok

I didn't register the scale of my new gpu

[soft bloom]

now that i also played another UE5 game i have the same performance drop after alttabing :((((

[sharp oasis]

Till I saw the Asus TUF 7800XT (it's the same size)

And I'm like holy fuuuuck that's big

[languid gulch]

6700XT with a triple fan is gonna live a loooooong time tho

[sharp oasis]

It took a yt vid for me to understand how big it actually is

[sharp oasis]

A long and cold time ngl

Not just triple fan

Triple slot

Asus. Why. Why is it so big.

[languid gulch]

yea i don't get why people think something like the 4090 is gigantic. sure, it's thick, but it's still just a triple fan

[sharp oasis]

Yeah.

[languid gulch]

still funny for the memes, but not insane

[sharp oasis]

Like sure slot depth is bigger. But like I'm still in shock. A gpu that runs fine on a dual slot dual fan just fine

[edgy hazel]

put a waterblock on that baby

[sharp oasis]

Asus said. Nah let's put a massively overbuilt cooler

[languid gulch]

i don't mind it. still mostly against water cooling

[sharp oasis]

I mean I don't mind

It's just

[languid gulch]

i still kinda want to see tower coolers on GPUs

[sharp oasis]

I've never really had anything of such size before

Lmao same

[languid gulch]

yea, same with my current gpu. 6800XT

[sharp oasis]

Biggest gpu I've seen in cooler size is a power color fighter and that 2.5slot

Three fan 7800XT

[languid gulch]

my gpu before this was a 6600XT red devil, & that cooler is CHUNKY

[edgy hazel]

Still love the size difference 5700xt vs 7900xt

[languid gulch]

dual fan, but triple slot

looks good with the blue

[edgy hazel]

same, might hardtube it in the future, but I got too many projects already

[sharp oasis]

Asus for some reason does that too

Dual fan but thicccc

8GB of vram is questionable as a future upgrade

[cobalt ivy]

[mental oriole]

And a bunch of other icons too.

[night girder]

Anyone know of good USB sticks for people who keep losing them? 😂

Like with a GPS tracker or something? 🤔

I just realize, if they lose it because it's so small, and their only use case is to store files on it. I might aswell get a external drive.

Will be harder to lose I hope 😒

[visual tree]

If the USB is small, you could attach it to a keychain

Unless you keep loosing the keys too

[mental oriole]

If you lose keys you shouldnt have keys

[visual tree]

I have to admit though, I keep my office cabinet key on a keychain and I sometimes leave the keychain hanging in the lock lol

Because I constantly unlock the cabinet and forget I left the keychain there 😅

We also have lockers with card readers but I am too lazy to walk since the cabinet is literally behind my desk

[wary olive]

Im back to the drawing board

I might get a AMD card to pair with my cpu. Cheaper too tbh

[sand saddle]

Yeah

[tough owl]

3060 12gb

[soft bloom]

taking 7777 port must have been a bold decision

[tough owl]

why do you say that

[soft bloom]

because #announcements message

[tough owl]

I saw

But why 7777 bold decisions

[soft bloom]

because why wouldn't everybody want such a sweet port?

[twin dew]

The game has been using port 7777 since start?
And most UE4 games use it too.

Just that dedicated server used also two other ports.

[visual tree]

Took me 5 years to realise my small server rack vertical mounts can be moved back so I can close the glass door properly without bending the cables

And I was wondering all this time how am I going to plug the fiber cable into the sfp port and close the doors lol

[rustic panther]

I'd imagine a character replace is a lot faster than an image replace, so this makes sense

[sharp oasis]

Buying a 6700XT used. How much y'all wan a bet it's gonna need a pretty good cleaning

[sterile plinth]

ok yall so my setup is like this

but the desk has a weird shape, and i want to upgrade to this (bigger one)

problem is, im not really sure if it will fit in the right side?

1. if it will hold the weight and 2) if theres going to be a height difference between the last desk and this one

[edgy hazel]

please for the love of it at least put a leg under that cabinet

[sterile plinth]

cant really split the legs in half

pretty sure theyre both in one in ikea

[sterile plinth]

• the cabinet cant even open if u put a leg there

[edgy hazel]

this is the worst

you're a horrible human for ignoring physics like that

[sterile plinth]

this is 5 years old atleast

[edgy hazel]

and I hope you have 10 years of bad luck

[sterile plinth]

i was like 11 years old when we furnished this room

and obviously i got no choice

[sterile plinth]

im here to ask for help not get shit on 😭

[edgy hazel]

here is help:
get 2 ikea alex, a 200x60x3cm piece of wood and a therapist

[tough owl]

i dont think you need anything else

[sterile plinth]

nah, the monitor is too close to my eyes

kinda uncomfortable

i would very much like a bigger desk

[edgy hazel]

wait that's the issue?

[sterile plinth]

you just replied to it

table is not long enough, since my monitor stand is clunky monitor is very close to me and i dont really have a lot of space

• i am forced to put the monitor as left as possible otherwise it literally does not fit

[edgy hazel]

are you sitting like this?

[sterile plinth]

.... no

but in general i dont have space, as you can see in the photo the entire mousepad has to be placed to the right of the monitor instead of in front of it

so whenever im playing games i have to extend my arm a lot

and its just uncomfortable

[tough owl]

how big of a mouse surface do you need

[sterile plinth]

the mousepad itself nothing more

but i cant really use it to its full extent, only 50% of it is actually usable because the rest is too far away

[tough owl]

I use like a 8x8 square for my mouse area

[edgy hazel]

"nothing more" brother you're using australia as a mousepad

[sterile plinth]

eh when playing games it helps

[tough owl]

actually et me measure

[sterile plinth]

mine is literally half a meter wide

45cm

[tough owl]

my mouse is 5in from side to side of my screen if not less

[sterile plinth]

lemme try too

mines also about that much yeah

800 dpi, so for a 1080p display should be 1.5 inches or something

[tough owl]

1600dpi here

[sterile plinth]

thats a lot!!!!!

anyway got any solution to the desk installation problem>?

Whops, you noticed when lines later...

[languid gulch]

definitely going to be adding in a dedicated 240V charger 🤣

[visual tree]

Whyyyyy...

Moving back to channel 1 until someone makes a mess again...

[twin dew]

Because people don't know about channel overlap and set their AP:s to "unused" channels in between.
And then the people who force the 40MHz channel use.

I have absolutely no idea why the original spec had 5MHz channel interleave when the actual bandwidth was 20MHz...

[visual tree]

Few days ago, I used wifi analyzer in one room and thought I had decent 2.4 ghz

Until I moved to another room and did the scan again...

[twin dew]

But that -80dB shouldn't affect anything AFAIK.

So only one of the other APs is close enough to matter.

[visual tree]

U6+ should arrive next week since my router wifi is bad

I prefer separate AP and router since all-in-one combo is not a good solution imo

[night girder]

Dont assume all people have control over their router

Most just get installed, configured and controlled by ISP.

[twin dew]

And the bad days when those fucked up are about 10 years ago.
Anything newer uses only channels 1, 6, 11 and 20MHz channels.

[night girder]

Hell, I barely have control over it. Which annoys me. So I could bridge and do my own router. But the average citizen doesn't know all this.

[twin dew]

As in N-max APs and before often used all channels, not just 1, 6, 11.
And N APs often used 40MHz channels always.
But AC and newer are AFAIK actually have correctly working firmwares in that sense.

[visual tree]

Normal people consider bad neighbour someone who is being rude to everyone else. In the tech community, a bad neighbour is someone who uses 40 MHz on wifi

This is going to turn into an ugly mess soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AGPRJM4HH8

I wonder how court is going to decide if an evidence is deepfake when there is no deepfake detection software with high accuracy

[night girder]

and people have been warning for this ages ago 🤷‍♂️

but technology goes faster than laws/goverments.

[visual tree]

I'm still pissed about writing the proposal for the ad-hoc project related to deepfakes in order to get EU funding and educate people a year ago. My proposal got denied because it was not considered "relevant enough"....

People obviously don't undertand how serious deepfake is

[night girder]

The first thing it was used for was X rated content. And probably this is the biggest market.

It's a serious issue, but people been sleeping on it.

It's going to be used pretty much everywhere and it's starting to look ugly already

[night girder]

Untill their children gets caught by a deepfake in a video, then it's 😭

[night girder]

Let's not be naive here ...

It's going to be a major issue for the coming future, deepfakes, privacy, AI, anti-AI, ...

openai.com/blog/navigating-the-challenges-and-opportunities-of-synthetic-voices

Lol, just read that article like 15 minutes ago

Trying really hard to spot the difference between the reference audio and the generated one

[night girder]

So in times people don't trust the new sources or anything they hear/read.

Now AI is going to even troll people with deepfakes, what can go wrong

Oh, even less trust in society 😄

[visual tree]

The generated voice is really good although you could hear some static if you listen really carefully but It's getting harder to detect with each day

So we can have Paul Walker back in the fast and the furious 15?

I hate when DeepFake is used to bring back dead people. Just let them rest

Or when they bring back the deceased with DeepFake so they can tell their children a "life lesson". This really turns my stomach

And I don't see it. I only see problems with deepfakes.

[visual tree]

I'm afraid we already opened the pandora's box and there is no going back

[night girder]

Trying to look for a silver lining 🤔

Even if deepfakes are able to speed up productions of movies etc. I doubt the quality of movies will improve. Or the price of a ticket will go down.

Maybe we get even more flashy CGI down the line, but that hit marvel in the arse atm.

A christian party used AI to bring back a dead politician for a TV commercial 😒

[visual tree]

That is so disrespectful

[night girder]

Yeah, I don't like it either.

Does this means this can happen to any of us?

That if they find a video of us on the internet, and we are dead, they can use that video to create AI version of us, then create commercials.

Win-win, you don't have to pay a dead person to use their "footage"?

[visual tree]

As long as there are enough pictures and voice samples available publicly, you could make a deepfake of that person

Not sure if you could make a proper deepfake with only a single picture of the person

[night girder]

it's weird, I don't know

will get worse before it get better that's for sure

maybe a few deepfakes from presidents and politician before they take more action

and in the end the companies behind this tech are just blinded by possibilities and money.

Does anyone have any reccomendations on how to share a keyboard, and mouse, and usbc port across two to three different systems?

Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Computers-Switcher-Selector-USB-Microphone/dp/B0CH7T76RX

[tough owl]

yea something like that, I dont need anything highspeed just enough for keyboard and mouse and the occasional need from a hardware key

There should be a lot of usb switches on amazon although finding several models with both usb-a and usb-c might be a little bit trickier

do half height m.2 carrier cards exist that do both over nvme and dont require nvme bifrication?

[twin dew]

half-height?

M.2 has one connector, with multiple keys and pinouts, and then two widths, and 5+ lengths.

What are you trying to do?

Split one 4x PCIe M.2 to two 2x ones?

[tough owl]

https://a.co/d/fgHRDt6 but half height

[twin dew]

Ah, normal PCIe half-height card.

If there is, MUX chips over PCIe 3.0 cost shitton, and so will the card.
And you need MUX on the card if you don't need bifurbication from the MB.

The company making cheap PCIe MUXes got bought and the prices increased to only be viable for server/professional market.

Which is why we went from lot of MBs having PCIe MUXes to get more lanes to only few top end boards having them.

[tough owl]

We love proprietary expensive components

[twin dew]

Just PCIe switch.
Anyone can in theory design and get one procuced, but the designign cost shitton and the market is smallish.

And there was only one company doing that for low unit price.

VoLTE is because while 2G and 3G have separate voice mode that is "circuit switched", 4G and 5G don't and can only do packet data.

So to have voice over them, you need to use IP phone protocols.

And the providers couldn't just do that over normal VoIP pårotocol, they had to make separate fork of that.

To not be just data carriers.

So VoLTE is VoIP that was bastardized to fix you to your data provider for the voice too.

Just any data network.

With same radio tech, you can always have longer range at slower speed.
So no, if someone bothered to make better 2G base station.

Unless 2G had some timing spec that limits range.
4G has that as about 100km?

Ok, original GSM had 35km max range because of such limit.

So yes, because of bad spec in 2G for TA max, it has pretty short max range.

Various analog mobile techs.
2G is first digital ones like GSM and CDMA.

With the 1G name for the previous analog ones being retroactive.

And then 3G was UMTS (GSM side) and CDMA2000 (CDMA side).

And CDMA never got 4G version, just switched to LTE too.

Which is mostly GSM side, with some CDMA side thrown in.

IIRC

Not really?
Two separate network standards, both which then got various upgrades, until they got merged with LTE and later to one standard.

Up to that point your provider supported one or the other, and same for your phone (some dual standard phones around)

And most countries had one or the other.
With US having both, depending on provider.

With CDMA locking you into Qualcomm as they owned the tech and patents.

[maiden coyote]

I remember having unlocked phones only working with at&t (gsm) or Verizon. (Cdma)

Now the carriers just pick and choose which phones they allow.

[mental oriole]

But why?

[twin dew]

Oh god... the base unit PDF uses is 1/72th of an inch...

So 1.6 and up that UserUnit can be changed as Float.
And then the page size is again Integer (or Float?) of those...

So in theory the largest size you can specify for the "page physical size" is 1/72" * Float-Max * Float-Max.
And the size of Float is left as non-specified and to be architecture specific, but recommendation is to limit to 32bit ones for compatibility.

[winged valley]

72th feels wrong for some reason

[twin dew]

Comes from the "Point" named unit in printing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography)

And there has been multitude of different actual values for same name over the years.

With almost standardization to that 1/72" since that was selected for PostScript etc. in 1984.

[winged valley]

I meant its supposed to be 72nd

[twin dew]

Yksi seitsemäskymmeneskahdesosa?

Ends with 2.

[stray badger]

"seventy seckenths" vs "seventy seckents"

[twin dew]

As in I typed 1/72th and I should have written 1/72nd.

Not really?

As base-10 isn't multiple of base-2, it isn't any easier or harder to convert than any other non-base-2-multiple would be.

And why octal and hexadecimal exist.

As those are base-2 multiples.

The moment when you don't know how to set your own password

[maiden coyote]

You don't like it?

I can think of a couple of reasons why it's nice.. for your main network when you've got a password that looks like Sjd23>,s34!$s... and for your guest network

[edgy hazel]

there is no reason to use something like Sjd23>,s34!$s nowadays. Something like Bunny1-Referable-Subsidize is way more useful and just as secure. But having an easily accessible QR code for your guest wifi is always nice (also every phone nowadays allows you to generate a QR code for the wifi it's connected to)

[twin dew]

But if it was murder, would be weird that it happened after second day, and just before the final day of deposition.

[edgy hazel]

it was. No-one in their right mind thinks it was suicide

[twin dew]

I mean that that makes the suicide being cause more probable.

I would expect murder to silence to have happened earlier.

[edgy hazel]

maybe it was another QA issue and they outsourced their assassin

So I do expect it was suicide, but caused by Boeing in many ways.

[jagged snow]

Nice

[midnight osprey]

do you guys use it?

[jagged snow]

yes

[tough owl]

yea

hardware 2fa is nice

[jagged snow]

I have two 2fa options on everything, so if I get locked out of either I can still access accounts

I use either a yubikey or an authenticator app

[midnight osprey]

coool

[tough owl]

two hardware keys

[edgy hazel]

got 2fa on my phone and on an old phone as backup

[tough owl]

one stored elsewhere with someone who is trusted

[jagged snow]

Would be ideal, but the possibility of fogetting my keys leaving my locked out of important accounts is pretty daunting

But the chance that I end up somewhere without my keys or my phone and need to login is pretty slimj

[tough owl]

I just never forget my keys

then if I dont have it then I guess its not that important

[jagged snow]

I haven't bothered to set this up anywhere, but it is also a solid option to use a yubikey configured with a pin for sso, rather than as a 2nd factor

[midnight osprey]

I wonder if I can export my passwords from one client to the new one?

🤔

[soft bloom]

But without 2fa the risk is greater. Its just shifting responsibility form some company to yourself.

Laso you often get recovery codes

Even steam has 2fa

[stray badger]

i use standard git command all the time with github

also, gh auth login encrypts auth data by default now

git credential manager requires setup on linux to do the same thing

[midnight osprey]

Yeah. Was never inclined to store them. I guess this new password manager does though.

My old one last pass never had such fields for storing info.

[twin dew]

Those are something you want to usually store as paper.

Not in same place as the password, as that makes the 2FA useless if the PW DB leaks.

[midnight osprey]

Indeed

[wanton orchid]

can you tell me why git apply is having effects on all branches ? (didn't find any documentation online about that behavior)
seems to completely break the repository / current branch logic integrity

[stray badger]

I have never used git apply

So idk

[wanton orchid]

looks like very inconsistent to me
when you "apply" patch, you are affecting files
as with any other tools
why would you it affect branches and whole project snapshots instead of using things like "git merge" for that instead

[twin dew]

This command applies the patch but does not create a commit. Use git-am[1] to create commits from patches generated by git-format-patch[1] and/or received by email.

[wanton orchid]

you probably don't have anything to do about that
but wanted to share how inconsistent it looks to me

[wanton orchid]

it does affects branches even if not commiting anything

that is buggy behavior to me

what you just quoted is what I was expecting

but what I experienced does not match that

[twin dew]

Because without commit there isn't branching in a way, it is editing the base file that all the branches etc. depend on without normal change logging.

As WAG

[wanton orchid]

the whole project files definition is a stream of commits
when you apply patch that goes in-between it can not just edit "base files"
as preceding commit depend on these

So it just breaks everything

[soft bloom]

*if password manager breaks, not the PW

[twin dew]

Password Database leaks.

Which is what I said.

[soft bloom]

point of password managers is to stora complex passwords
complex unique passwords guard you against someone hacking you once your password got leaked.
but managing a bunch of long unique passwords is hard without some kind of manager, but that's and independant service.
2fa completely guards you from password problems, but you still need to store that data somewhere, as well as reovery codes.
recovery codes prevent you being locked out if you happened to loose totp

[twin dew]

As in if someone gets their hands on the PW DB data, they would get the 2FA at same time.

So the 2FA would be useless.

If the TOTP or the recovery codes are in the same app.

[wanton orchid]

looking at the documentation for gitapply
it MUST behave as I said it should already
so this feels like a big bug
where git stops tracking files changes when using git apply

[soft bloom]

password manager with 2fa is still better than short reused password without 2fa

[wanton orchid]

(when you change branches, git is usually inspecting tree changes and tells you "hold on a second, those changes aren't committed : revert/commit ?")

[soft bloom]

it provides tiny increase in secutiry since stolen password (from the service it is for) wont give away access.

[wanton orchid]

and format-patch should be aware of these changes too
but nor format patch nor git diff gives any output after git apply

fucked up

[soft bloom]

but yes its way less than actually storing them separately

still not sure if there's redemption in making circular dependencies...

because if any accaount is hacked than they could seuqntually unlock everything

[wanton orchid]

2fa is supposed to use stable sources for validation
if these leaks it does not means these are compromised

like if you leak your phone number
does not means that sending you authentication code on your phone is compromised

I may be completely off topic
but wanted to sort that out just in case

[soft bloom]

these
do you mean otp or the token for their generation or recovery codes as well?

[twin dew]

2FA is just key for specific algorithm, if the information leaks, anyone can set up the same 2FA TOTP in another app.
And if the recovery keys leak, they can be used to reset the account PW and 2FA.

TOTP is just way to generate one-time keys based on time and secret.

[wanton orchid]

"if the recovery key .." then it's not 2fa
it's single [recovery] key

[soft bloom]

btw, i see that companies treat 2fa and recovery codes quite differently
not sure that recovery code bypasses password in all cases... yet, its intended behaviour.
some allow using these instead of otp

[soft bloom]

recovery code/key is often given after you setup 2fa
but 2fa often involves OTP generation

[wanton orchid]

seems like there are so many retards in the security field

[twin dew]

But the point was if the recovery keys, or the TOTP secret are in the PW DB that someone got access to.

[soft bloom]

there's also a flavor of 2fa using sms/email OTP, and even stupid google's "yes" button

[twin dew]

Which was what started the talk.

Saving the recovery codes in PW manager.

[wanton orchid]

it's like saving clear text password is what I mean

-> dumb

[soft bloom]

its enough to review 2fa in major IT companies like gogole, microsoft, github, atlassian.
they are all different

gogole sounds like legit company making ai art

[twin dew]

Point was that you DON'T want PW manager that has TOTP functionality.
And you don't want to save the recovery codes in the manager either.

[soft bloom]

i mean... you should avoid doing that.
but this case is still better than not using 2fa at all (for any specific account)

[edgy hazel]

it's a nice in-between of convenience and security tho. Yes it's not as secure as having a dedicated TOTP app, but it's more secure than not having TOTP at all. (and yes recovery codes are post-its under a drawer)

Yeah, that chart does show for the one fan.
For the rest you only see where they max out near the noise floor.

Except the two that go into higher RPMs.

Much cheaper to make bling fan than good fan.

[sand saddle]

And obviously you can see all the led hotspots cuz corsair doesn't actually put a shit ton of leds per fan

[pure karma]

that build looks solid other than thoes GPU power cables that kinda trigger me...

[sand saddle]

Unless you're way too rich

At around 2300rpm more options become available

[night girder]

This.

[wanton orchid]

its obvious why temp is on the left:
what you are benchmarking is fan, not temp, temps fall with fan increasing in speed and so noise
so the axis follows the fan speed
more fan speed : lower temperature (to the right)

its basically increasing fan performance with normalized fan speed over db

basically we dont care about the speed as long as it cools down thing and is quiet

[dire igloo]

I get primarily triggered by the awful hotspotting

[dire igloo]

better value to the right maybe? idk, doesn't make sense to me either

[twin dew]

Makes the best position to be bottom right.
Instead of bottom left or top right.

Which would be the logical ones.
So either both would need to be inverted, or neither.

[winged valley]

You aren't using userbenchmark are you?

You shouldn't if you are

[twin dew]

Also now that I thought of it, the temperature should be the vertical axis and sound the horizontal one.
And in that they are the opposite.

To match what others are charting IIRC.

[jagged snow]

Yes, that's common practice

As far as I can tell, that chart is just poorly thought out, not intentionally misleading though

[twin dew]

Yep.

[dire igloo]

X axis noise, low → high
Y axis temp, low ↑ high

[night girder]

It's just a bit of a head scratcher at first.

And people who don't pay attention will have diferent interpretation of the chart.

but as GS said, it's a smaller YT content creator, so probably just learning

[sand saddle]

He has done quite a lot tho

https://www.youtube.com/@STSYT

[dire igloo]

the accent struck me as odd until I noticed they're luxembourg-based

[wanton orchid]

fair, I would go for both inverted, I find "inner" performance graph to easily be missleading / biased/hard to read

and yes, why not also swapping x y
though that would not change much the reading

[languid gulch]

quick! lick it!

do you mean wire thickness?

the thicker the wire, the more resistance, so you need a stronger driver to get enough signal to the speakers

[jagged snow]

... no?

@inner shale for those small speakers, 18awg or .823mm2 is plenty

[languid gulch]

yea, at that distance you don't need anything overly special

[jagged snow]

I have quite a bit of familiarity with that set as well
It performs outstandingly well for how low power it is, sub included

That's one of the best performing 8in home theatre or audio subs that I've seen

[jagged snow]

Not really

A high quality dac will perform better than toslink

For a home theatre setup where the audio source is coming from the tv, toslink can give an advantage over the integrated dac in the tv

The best option for quality would be earc over hdmi but that audio set doesn't support it

Are you running it in full 5.1 surround mode?

You should be able to

Just buy a whole roll of it

Then I wouldn't expect to see a ton of difference between toslink and the alternative

[night girder]

This is going to be fine 😂

[jagged snow]

What mobo?

If you already have the analog cables, I wouldn't reccomend going out and buying a toslink

what cpu?

Ah, that board does have above-average dac in it

Def no reason to go with toslink then

Yeah
It's actually got a high impedance amp for fancy headphones and a very good dac in it

Out of those three, the toslink would be the worst

I really don't reccomend it

Unless you're doing studio-grade mastering, that onboard audio will do more than you need

Most all motherboards have onboard audio that's more than good enough for what even above average users will be doing nowadays

The best reason to buy a dedicated sound card to add ports

[gilded helm]

Admittedly, it's ancient, but the house computer at one of the bars I DJ has integrated sound so bad that when I did A/B testing versus its USB DAC, everyone quickly said the integrated was worse without knowing what I was doing.

[jagged snow]

Yeah
What I said about onboard audio doesn't really hold true for the cheapest laptops, aios, or mini pcs

And pre-2015 desktops can be a toss-up as well

I still have my old pci(non-express) creative card

That sounds like a software issue

Not hardware

[jagged snow]

The satis wiki?

Ohh

Yeah, that's a project I like to donate to

Them, mozilla, and a few ad-free radio stations

Wikipedia

That's why I was aksing, wiki.gg doesn't accept donations as far as I'm aware

[winged valley]

Onboard audio is fine but

Some higher-impedence drivers wont like it

As in

Lower volumes might be no volume at all

[jagged snow]

That board specifically is rated for drivers up to 600ohm

It has a one of the nicest onboard amps out of any board

[winged valley]

600 OHM ON A MOBO?

Isn't the usual like 50

[jagged snow]

if that

[winged valley]

My board has 50, and I have the HD6XX's so I got an Audigy RX

Now, I regret my decision because it has a buggy ass driver that will randomly pass headphone audio to mic for zero reason

[jagged snow]

wow

[winged valley]

Seems to be something tied to volume

Also only happens in certain applications

Such as discord while watching youtube

But yeah its horrible

And I know it's either the driver or poor insulation in the card bc muting my mic (and physically moving it far from my headphones (i have a modmic)) does nothing to mitigate it

So yeah if you buy a sound blast, don't get the RX, its trash

But I didn't want to spend $100+ on a sound card

[dire igloo]

$10 Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter is a godtier DAC given its price - only Americas tho, EU version sucks

and weak-ish amp (still better than most onboard chips)

[jagged snow]

It has the potential to support higher bandwidths than it currently does, but as it stands it's not super useful

There are a couple variations on the standard that are much better though

[tough owl]

does anyone here know regex, what does this filter do in automod \b\w*h\w*\b

i figured it out

h is banned in my friends server

[rotund hamlet]

any word with the letter h wtf

[jagged snow]

I was in a server that banned nig, since it appears in one very specific slur

[tough owl]

ok but when is nig ever used not in the slur

[jagged snow]

But it turns out that any variant of night also uses those three letters

[tough owl]

OH

[pure karma]

also did i miss something why is everyone a clown?

i guess im ahead instead of late to the party

[maiden coyote]

Are ethernet surge suppressors overkill?

They're only one end. They're for outdoor runs, and to have one on each side. All of my cabling is in the attic with cameras on the eves

So my chances of issues should be pretty low, but if something does happen, I'd rather lose a couple of cameras or access points and not a $700 switch.

[pure karma]

there is truly no such thing as a big enough desk

my desk is always just loaded whit crap

i tought it was big enough until i put all my stuff on it and now it is no longer big enough

[maiden coyote]

move your pc to a rack in the basement, instantly more desk... or floor space.

[pure karma]

i can do that but...... humidity = corosion

[maiden coyote]

got a closet?

[pure karma]

yes but it also has a ceramic floor

[maiden coyote]

why would that matter?

[pure karma]

because ceramic collects humidity like crazy

[maiden coyote]

your pc won't be on the floor. that's what the equipment rack is for.

[winged valley]

why are we talking about slurs in tech chat

[pure karma]

i guess but would it really be worth setting that up for 2 computers only

because that would be probably a combined like 100-200 foot of display cable

[maiden coyote]

you can move your networking equipment into there too. and don't use display cable. use fiber or whatever that kvm thing is that ltt tried and had all kinds of issues with

they have these hdmi over lan o.o

How fast can Intel's 14700k handle for ram

I'm just curious

[pure karma]

probably 5600mt/s

[sharp oasis]

Pcpp says 6400mt/s

[sharp oasis]

That's jedec

Right.

Damn

If that's actually Intel's ram speed

I'm staying amd

[pure karma]

its good for higher but its unstable at higher

[sharp oasis]

AMD's sweet spot with latest agesa is 6400 iirc for 32gb

[pure karma]

i have 6400Mt/s but you end up whit essentially the same micro stuters that sli use to cause

[sharp oasis]

I mean your system can't be used as a comparison as it's. Who knows what's going on with it

[pure karma]

where it freezes for like 30frames every 7-10 or so seconds

[sharp oasis]

Yeah

Prolly best I stay amd

Also

What's with mobos skimping out on the io

Unless I'm paying like $400 cdn for a Rog Strix board

With 4-DIMM board officially:
4400MT/s with 2 DIMMs, 4000MT/s with 4x1R, and 3600MT/s with 4x2R.

That 5600MT/s is only for 2-DIMM boards.

Actual is of course higher.
With most CPUs on good 4 slot MBs being able to do 7000-7600 MT/s.

With 2x1R.

And Taiwan got hit by two big earthquakes...

7.5 magnitude both.

Better news sources seem to say only one 7.2 one.

So 7.7 according to Japanese, 7.4 according to US and 7.2 according to Taiwanese monitoring agencies.

So both humanitarian problem, and chip shortages coming.

[wicked blade]

??

[twin dew]

The maintainer hates AMD and has made the tests have extreme anti-AMD bias in them.

[wicked blade]

I've not heard of userbenchmark soooo... unless it's soemthing default I'm not using it??

[twin dew]

Just internet site to "compare" CPU and GPU performance.

[wicked blade]

Ohh ok

[dire igloo]

And an astonishingly popular benchmark among beginners

[twin dew]

Because most people don't know about the sites bias?

[cobalt ivy]

paid actor

[dire igloo]

And because they're consistently the top results on Google

Top result on ddg too

Especially beginners often want to compare two direct competitors to each other

[soft bloom]

Was there ever a time when newer estimations were bigger?

[twin dew]

Disaggreement by various countries monitoring departments, and I would expect Taiwan to have best data.

Doesn't change what happened, just a number in the end, about how much energy was released.

[night girder]

Intel foundry branch lost 7billion last year

Ceo says its because of bad decision’s.

[twin dew]

Doesn't really matter if Intel foundries are underutilized, as moving a chip design between different nodes takes minimum of a year, and often two or three.

So if all the Taiwan fabs are down for a month for example to fix and reverify after the quake, no-one will move their production to Intel fabs.

The PR node name numbers are not comparable.

Intel has named their nodes more conservatively than TSMC for 10+ years.
Their 10nm was comparable to TSMC 7nm, and in many aspects better.

For the actual area efficiency for actual circuits.

TSMC N7 has 40nm between metal wires, Intel 10nm has 36nm for example.

Intel reports a density of 100.76MTr/mm2 (mega-transistor per squared millimetre) for its 10nm process, while TSMC's 7nm process is said to land a little behind at 91.2MTr/mm2

But currently TSMC is in lead, as Intel fucked up with that 10nm for so long, and the "Intel 7" is just minorly improved "Intel 10nm"

Because they tried to make the switch to 10nm too giant leap.

They tried to jump over a node size in a way, and that was step too far.
And had made many of the senior people get severance and leave the company "to save costs"

So too giant leap, and the experienced engineers had left to save costs.

No, just MBAitis causing the engineering resources actually available not match what was attempted.

Causing delay after delay when the stuff didn't work.

Which cost much more than it would have done right.

Intel just before the 10nm design process started giant program to get rid of the senior engineering people to "save costs", by offering giant severance packages for people leaving voluntarely.

As the normal MBA think that the junior engineers just entering the company are just as good as the people who have worked there for 20+ years, just much cheaper.

And then try to do the largest node jump in a long while...

They are getting back on track now.

Time will tell if the leadership learned that MBA-school doesn't teach that much about real world.

And in actual skilled trades, the people aren't just replaceable identical machines.

[quasi citrus]

A lot of companies are learning that lesson currently

I don't feel any sympathy to those in management that sympathised with this idea in the first place

[twin dew]

MBA was supposed to be something that people from other tracks went to when they were promoted to management, to get management skills in addition what they already knew.
But now you have so many MBA-only managers, that have been taught that "they know best" and experts are losers.

And that only way to future is to cut costs, etc.

[quasi citrus]

To save money you need efficient processes. To get efficient processes you need to understand the process before messing around in them or with those executing them

[twin dew]

But they haven't often been taught that XD

[quasi citrus]

or their competency lies elsewhere

[twin dew]

Nah, often they are taught that every place can run with same process.
No matter in what kind of company you are in or who you are managing...
From coders to factory floor etc.

"You don't need to understand what your underlings do, you are a manager and you decide how they do it"

Lets just say the contents of the courses have gotten somewhat "corrupted" over time.

[dire igloo]

Basically telling LoL players about current meta champs but not being specific about position so they end up playing garbage

[night girder]

www.reuters.com/technology/intel-discloses-financials-foundry-business-2024-04-02/ for source

Forgot to post it earlier.

[twin dew]

But in a way that is just money shuffling between units.
The Foundry side not charging the CPU side enough per wafer.

Making the CPU etc. side numbers seem better.

The actual fuckup is that need to use TSMC to produce some chips as their own foundries are too behind on tech.

Latest being that try to not use EUV and just old tech for too small nodes.

Which probably caused very bad yields.

[night girder]

Well they lost 5% stock just today because of news

[twin dew]

Stock price doesn't actually affect the companies at all, except when they issue new stock for money.
The managers etc. do care because of stock form bonuses.

[night girder]

Big doubts…

I think they care. Since they need billions to invest.

[twin dew]

Stock is about ownership.
Only time the actual company gets money when stock is sold is when THEY sell.
So IPO and and later "lets sell more stock to get money" times.
It can in some way affect bank loans, if the company owns some of their own stock and uses that as collateral.
But classically companies didn't own their own stock.

Stock buybacks were for long time mostly illegal.

[night girder]

The price going down means people are selling their intel stock to get rid of it.

[twin dew]

Yes, but that is loss for the specific investors.
Not Intel.

[night girder]

How is that a possitve

[willow pike]

despite intel reducing investment to maintain shareholder dividends

[night girder]

It means the value of the stock is lower. Thats still not so good for Intel.

They just have a few rougher years ahead of em.

[twin dew]

Like I said, stock price and market cap etc. don't affect the actual company at all except when they sell new stock...

Stock price is indicator how investors value the company.

[night girder]

And I am saying it does. Why else have stocks if company isnt affected by it.

[twin dew]

Selling stock is the way to get money, when you issue new stock.

[night girder]

Why would a company go on the market if it had no benefits of stocks. Makes no sense.

[twin dew]

But last time Intel issued new stock is ages ago.

The current "stock price and market cap are everything" are pretty new intentional distortion made by specific right-wing "economists" in '60-80s.

Stock price increases don't give money to the company the stock belongs to.

And decreases don't remove money from them.

[night girder]

No, but it’s value goes up and down. This does impact other things.

Again, don’t downplay stocks. It does have effects.

[twin dew]

It affects the stock owners.
Not the company.
But as the leadership team is often significant stock owner itself...
And in theory the stockowners are the ones who select that leadership team.

[night girder]

Else it wouldn’t be news either.

[twin dew]

Like I said, the market has been intentionally distorted over time.

[night girder]

“The impact of stock prices on company performance can be both positive and negative. For example, if a company's stock price goes up, it may be able to raise more capital and expand its operations. On the other hand, if a company's stock price goes down, it may have to lay off workers or cut back on its operations.” - google

[twin dew]

Only if it owns some of its own stock and uses it as collateral for loans for example.
Second is usually just leadership trying to do shit that would make the stock price go up again.

Or if they intend to sell more stock to get more money.
In that case the stock price determines how much stock do they have to sell, to get specific amount of money.
And selling more stock causes there be more stock around, which waters down the price of each one.

But problem is that the distortion on what stock market actually does has been going for 50+ years now.
So the distorted view is the "META".

And as it is what gives the rich more control, they like it.

[night girder]

🤷‍♂️

That’s what they teach in school.

“Meta” or not. It’s just the truth.

[pure karma]

school dosent teach much other than "everything in life is a obstacle now figure it out"

[twin dew]

No, it is from same people who brough the idea that "company exists only to bring profit to the shareholders".
Which still isn't actual law in US for example.

But most people think it is.

[night girder]

Euh not sure what school you went to, but mine didn’t teach that 😂

[twin dew]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine

Anyways, the guy behind that, and republican clique of similar thinkers have caused SO much damage over time...

But that was the whole point, to make it easier for rich to get richer.

Economists in a sense that they first selected the policy target based on ideology, and then built "foundation" and reasoning for that, then released as economic theory.

So politics disguised as science, like much of "economic theory" over the years.

Basically the whole "school" of science is has been completely rotten for very long time and doesn't follow scientific method at all.

And the same rot has entered other fields as result of the changed in how funding is assigned etc.

[dire igloo]

School teaches you what reality is, but not how it works and what your place in this system is

And when you go study economics or management, you're basically taught how to be the profiteur

And never in this whole cycle do you ever hear about the majority of people and what their place is in this system

[twin dew]

School should teach what we think the reality is.
But often doesn't anymore, as politics have entered the curriculum defining long time ago and have been getting ever more prevalent.

How bad that is depends on the country.

Civics etc. are often taught in western countries, or used to be but are being watered down.

[willow pike]

this is why warner bros decided it's better to kill unreleased movies rather than actually ship product

but we're probably drifting from tech talk here

[twin dew]

Yeah, I went into politics long time ago with this rant.

[willow pike]

though it is topical as this is how we get FICSIT

[dire igloo]

Which is satisfactory talk and thereby also no tech talk

[charred pewter]

i picked up that Marantz mic ...

wasn't impressed, going to return it

it didn't isolate or reduce what it picked up any better than my crappy $15 desktop mic ... so clearly the wrong thing i was looking for. gonna try a 'shotgun' mic next to see if that works better for directional pick up

[quasi citrus]

we should all report ourselves to the mods and build 10 screw factories each

[charred pewter]

apparently the marantz needs to be put on a boom arm, with a spit shield, and placed right in front of your mouth... then adjust the gain to super low...

but with all that equipment, and obscurded view, and such ... i'd be better off with just a headset doing the same thing 😄

so, my quest to find a voice chat mic for playing games that works good with my 5.1 speakers at the same time ... continues LOL ...

(yes im hunting the white unicorn)

[pure karma]

idk im more entertained by trying to get 69% in every class

i have gotten 3 69%'s so far 1 of them was 69.69%

[dire igloo]

You're looking for stuff that you're supposed to do with software but built into a mic.

[dire igloo]

Proper mic setup according to an audio engineer I know:

ideally, you would want the mic upside down with the capsule eye level, and aimed off-axis to your cheek
distanced 6-12" (15-30cm) from your mouth
the best way to accomplish this would likely be mount the arm on the rear of the table so the mic goes over the monitors

[sharp oasis]

Ahh so I'd need to manually oc ddr5 to hit 7200 on two sticks

[twin dew]

XMP is OC profile basically.

[sharp oasis]

Do they have 7200 as xmp

[twin dew]

Yes.

[sharp oasis]

Aight

[twin dew]

Doesn't guarantee that the XMP will work in your system.
But that the specific DIMMs worked in golden sample system at that level.

[sharp oasis]

So I'd need to check QVL and shid

And see what the respective mobo can handle

[twin dew]

QVL doesn't really mean much at this time.

As the MB makers put in there stuff tested with their own golden sample CPUs with purpose build special RAM sticks.

For marketing, not for real QVL use.
