would it be possible to use the DDR5 socket to slot in a dedicated REBAR stick?
like some kind of weird in-between component like Optane?
twin dew
What?
ReBar is just about how PCIe device can use main CPU RAM without CPU involvement?
languid gulch
right, but what about using the socket to let the gpu use an entire dedicated stick of ram that way
twin dew
And just putting more VRAM onto the cards would probably be cheaper and easier?
languid gulch
it would, but right now the wealthiest company on earth seems to have 0 interest in doing that
twin dew
And why would they be interested in adding extensible memory?
And Optane as tech wasn't really weird in-between.
Intel just tried to only go for cache, and NVDIMM markets for some reason.
And even didn't really push the marketing on the enterprise side cache market.
Only consumer cache, and then enterprise NVDIMM.
When the only products they really moved in bulk were the Optane SSDs for enteprise markets in the end.
Because their marketing for the consumer stuff made it seem they only work as cache with Intel chipsets for example.
When that wasn't the case.
They were completely normal NVMe drives.
And those Optane DIMMs were segmented to only the most expensive CPUs, and almost no-one wanted to use them as you rather had just more actual RAM if there weren't some special considerations.
And then you needed bespoke coding to really take advantage.
wanton orchid
the marketing ruined it completely
Asus always talking about some special directly connected to cpu stuff specific to optane with U.2 ports
always found that marketing bullshit stupid
among other things I hate Asus since
always some marketing bullshit driven hardware design
twin dew
U.2 is just another type of PCIe connector.
Basically cabled equivalent of M.2
wanton orchid
M.2 ports simply needs a small bracket to be direct connect cable capable
twin dew
And those convert to U.2 usually.
And there are U.2 to M.2 adapters too.
2.5" drive thingie that has U.2 connector and place for M.2 drive.
And U.2 still lives in workstation and server markets.
With U.3 also now existing.

the ultimate feature no company would ever comit to unfortunately

glossy glacier
Optane was great if you had the right workload for it
Not really something you encounter in consumer space
twin dew
Yeah, but Intels marketing made it very confusing to prosumers.
And in Enterprise they marketed mainly that Optane DIMM thing to very high end, instead of just as very good scratch, log or cache drive.
Mut ny o kesänakit alla.
And tiered that Optane DIMM support to just the most expensive CPU tier.
Which was faster than PCIe versions.
But slower than DRAM, and taking DRAM slots.
So if you didn't need extra fast permanent storage, it was better to just put in more normal DIMMs.

Random tech question:
Is there a physical difference between ctrl+c key combination and copy option from context menu?
Was trying to copy table with images from webpage (firefox) to a spreadsheet (libreoffice) and first one gave me 'select text formatting' popup that lost all formating vs second option taking several seconds then pasting the actual table into sheet.

Prenatal phthalate exposure and adverse birth outcomes in the USA: a prospective analysis of births and estimates of attributable burden and costs
thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(23)00270-X/fulltext
Phthalate metabolite concentrations were similar to those identified in women of childbearing age in national surveys.47 The distributions of phthalates were similar across trimesters (figure). Generally, phthalates were not strongly correlated with one another (appendix p 86), except MECPP, MEHHP, and MEOHP, which are metabolites of DEHP. The highest concentrations measured were mono-ethyl phthalate and phthalic acid (appendix p 87). As described in other US populations,48 non-Hispanic Black participants had higher concentrations of multiple phthalate metabolites, except for DEHP replacements (table 2), and Hispanic or Latino mothers were found to have higher urinary concentrations of LMW metabolites and lower concentrations of the HMW phthalates, DEHP and phthalic acid. Maternal age was inversely related to all phthalate metabolites, and tobacco use and lower maternal education were associated with greater concentrations of phthalate metabolites. No differences were identified by child sex. Higher LMW metabolites and phthalic acid were identified in primiparous mothers compared with nulliparous mothers, but differences were not noted among multiparous mothers compared with nulliparous mothers.

Uptake and physiological impacts of nanoplastics in trees with divergent water use strategies
pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2024/en/d4en00286e
Using a hydroponic growth chamber, we have shown that PS-Pd-NP uptake into trees depends on exposure concentration and duration, rather than the trees' water use strategy. Furthermore, PS-Pd-NP were translocated from the roots into aboveground tree organs (stems, leaves or needles), which ultimately changed certain physiological functioning. In particular, photosynthetic efficiency decreased upon PS-Pd-NP exposure where the broadleaf species showed effects sooner than the needle-leaf species, possibly due to NPs compartmentation within needles facilitated by the endodermis. Our study has shed light on the intricate relationship between concentration–time and concentration–species in shaping plant uptake dynamics. Our main finding underscores the significance of interaction between concentration–time and concentration–species on PS-Pd-NP uptake. The observation that stem association remains unaffected by treatments highlights its critical role as a primary conduit for transporting NPs to leaves or needles.
World’s first demonstration that forests trap airborne microplastics
waseda.jp/top/en/news/80174
“We found that airborne microplastics strongly adsorb to the epicuticular wax on the leaf surface,” explains Akane Miyazaki, senior author. “In other words, these particles accumulate when they stick to the waxy surface coating of leaves.”
Plastic rain in protected areas of the United States
science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaz5819
Using high-resolution spatial and temporal data, we tested whether plastics deposited in wet versus dry conditions have distinct atmospheric life histories. Further, we report on the rates and sources of deposition to remote U.S. conservation areas. We show that urban centers and resuspension from soils or water are principal sources for wet-deposited plastics. By contrast, plastics deposited under dry conditions were smaller in size, and the rates of deposition were related to indices that suggest longer-range or global transport. Deposition rates averaged 132 plastics per square meter per day, which amounts to >1000 metric tons of plastic deposition to western U.S. protected lands annually.

Bioaccumulation of microplastics in decedent human brains
nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03453-1
The present data suggest a trend of increasing MNP concentrations in the brain and liver. The majority of MNPs found in tissues consist of PE and appear to be nanoplastic shards or flakes. MNP concentrations in normal decedent brain samples were 7–30 times greater than the concentrations seen in livers or kidneys, and brain samples from dementia cases exhibited even greater MNP presence. These data are associative and do not establish a causal role for such particles affecting health.

But just use Xeon E if youre on a super budget

I won't spend 800 on the entire system most likely

How many cores do you need

If you can afford DDR5 buy Xeon E series

cores would help too but I'm not going to be running a bunch of them
For the short term I'm happy with what I'm renting given the price

Bro what is in the new windows update lmao

Have a Xeon E5-1620 v2 with 64GB, sold as 300/300 unmetered but I get 1000/300 in practice. $14.40/month
oh... 2x2TB drives
charred relic
Works great for modded mc... jellyfin... seems to do SF OK but it's really untested with multiple people and a lot of large builds
For home I want something newer/faster with the CPU
I'll def want some solid state storage for some things... and some hard disks for mass storage
pure karma
u literally had to restart the update manually cause it couldent do it on its own
good job windows

"[Public Announcement – Intel Socket 1984 Launch Event]
“Big Brother is Booting You Up.”
Ladies and gentlemen, comrades and overclockers—
Introducing the all-seeing, all-controlling Intel Socket 1984: a revolutionary leap forward in centralized processing, surveillance... and freedom! (Just kidding about that last one.)
Built to be doubleplusfast and doubleplussneaky, Socket 1984 doesn’t just process data—it watches it. Whether you're editing documents, watching cat videos, or writing thoughtcrimes in Notepad, it’s already logged, categorized, and silently judged.
Why settle for privacy when you can have party-approved performance? With built-in support for Intel’s TruthCores™, Socket 1984 ensures your machine only runs approved facts, all clocked at 2+2=5 GHz.
Features include:
Ministry of Thermal Control cooling support
Compatibility with Newspeak-compatible chipsets
Zero Room for error—literally, it's soldered down. Forever.
“Winston Mode” — a failsafe that deletes anything subversive and replaces it with Minesweeper.
So remember:
WAR IS PEACE.
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.
IGNORANCE IS CACHE.
And the future? It's a boot, stamping on a motherboard—forever.
Intel Socket 1984
The last socket you’ll ever need.
Because you don’t choose the processor—the Party does."

At this point, I don't even know what are the latest intel cpu sockets because o...
LGA (Land Grid Array, just pads on CPU) is type of socket, and the number is the number of pins.
So Intel doesn't have socket names, just the exact technical type being used.
AM5 with same naming would be LGA-1718.
And AM4 would be PGA-1331.
And that 1366 has more as it had three channels of RAM, when the one before and after it had just two.
And 1155 and 1150 were actually using basically same socket part, just with different key, and the CPU had different amount of pads.
Basically making them incompatible for not socket physical reasons.
Just changing the pinout for some reason.

I want a 1337 socket

What am I looking at?
I have this gaming laptop here, when you pull power chord out, it shuts down. My instinct says it's battery, anyway to make 100% sure before ordering new battery?

Oh, friend. I know. I am angry about that for years.
I said it so many times in this channel, my country is so small, lazy, innefficient, stupid, ... when it comes to fiber deployement.

One way or another, everyone will be forced to invest in fiber (or 5G)
wtf, why do I need a broadcom account to download VMware....
twin dew
Because Broadcom bought VMWare and has steadily been killing it by trying to make more money?
Basically anyone who used them has been trying to get away once the price increases were announced.
VMWare Player was completely killed for a time.
twin dew
Workstation hasn't been free ever or at least not in long time?
It was that VMWare Player that was free for noncommercial use.
visual tree
Oh right, I think I might have used VMWare Player instead of workstation
Don't remember since it was long time ago
twin dew
Ah, remembered wrong:
2024 change to freeware
In May 2024, VMware Workstation Pro became free for personal use, with only commercial use requiring a paid license, and free VMware Workstation Player was discontinued as unnecessary.[15]In November 2024, this change was expanded to include commercial and educational users, thereby making the software free for everyone. At the same time, however, Broadcom discontinued official technical support for the product, instead directing users to seek help from existing documentation and the community.[16]
And in 2015, VMWare Player was renamed to VMWare Workstation Player and moved to use same version numbers as the Workstation Pro.

You won't believe how difficult they made it to download VMWare.....
Made an account with a temporary email but still took me some effort to find the download website
It's not as simple as click on "Download VMware Workstation Pro". You have to search for articles and then download VMware
That's the dumbest way to download a software...

At least it's not as bad as downloading toshiba laptop drivers in the past, that was a complete nightmare
You couldn't just search your model and then get a list of drivers

After clean install, it seems the battery of the laptop is at 0%
And stays at 0. So, new battery it is.

That kinda happened after they changed their payment model, so you had to pay like $100 per user.. Then suddenly everyone cancelled their subscription and moved to other VM solutions

9080 when?

im trully getting sick of this AMD driver timeout crap..
considering hard to replace it with an Nvidia
there is no logs to find out what is causing it, nor is it easy to reproduce..
twin dew
What CPU?
What speed is RAM at?
How many RAM sticks?
What GPU?
gleaming shadow
7900x - 5900 MT -> 2 -> 7900xtx
3x + new windows installs, rules out DDU -> ram at stock ->
twin dew
Ah, this case, which seems to be from broken at stock clocks GPU.
Which happen at low incidence rate.
Would need warranty replacement.
As AMD doesn't allow underclocking.
gleaming shadow
will they take it if 2 of the blades of 1 fan are broken?
twin dew
Almost certainly not.
gleaming shadow
there we go
so nothing i could do about it now then xD
but then again, the internet is full of timeouts 😦
twin dew
But basically not AMD or Nvidia thing, but individual faulty GPU, which affect both manufacturers cards.
twin dew
but then again, the internet is full of timeouts 😦
Which doesn't tell anything.
Just that GPU or GPU driver crashed for any reason.
Lot of those for Nvidia too.
Lot of those have been traced to too high memory clocks, as people buy high-speed XMP/EXPO kits that then don't work properly with their CPU units.
gleaming shadow
sounds fair enough, did consider my ram being the issues, hence letting it run on stock
but thing is, theres days i can play without issues
and there is today, 7 in about 2 hours
i have send a submission to the vendor i bought it from, if you dont shoot youll allways miss, perhaps we can make an arrangement of some kind
thing was 1k €
aight, if things dont work out, lets say they dont wanna replace it or anything, what should i consider getting, a 5080 or a 9070xt?
verbal raft
aight, if things dont work out, lets say they dont wanna replace it or anything,...
the 5080 is just a better GPU
the questions is : wether or not spending the extra is worth it

As AMD doesn't allow underclocking.

Doesn't allow going under the default clocks.
At least for VRAM, almost certainly for GPU core clock too.

you can lower the power limit though

Ok, can go to -28% for Core for my 6600.

had HWmonit open during 1 of the timmeout, but no weird spikes in power, or clock speeds
or temps

But yes, I remembered wrong.
So @gleaming shadow could try what happens if that GPU Core frequency was lowered by 10%.
As diagnostic test.
twin dew
Ok.
gleaming shadow
voltage to 1135 to 11150 in steps of 5

So already tested.

now trying this one
if that too doesnt work then you should try RMA'ing it

maybe my 850 PSU is not good enough

looked it upo bought it 21.03.2024, but the thing is 1 blade of the 3rth fan broke, so i had to take of a couple to balance it out,
that is a problem.. 😦
so i messaged the vendor, and hope, if you dont try it will for sure be a no, and if you try it is a possible yes

you should also tell them about how it is constantly making your games crash

i am dutch, so europe FTW with there warrenty things
but like i said, 1 fan is busted up, that might be a problem
heck if i pay for the repair opf that fan, to get a card replaced id be more then happy to, instead of 1k for a new one
