[warped narwhal]

Given limited production

all I care abt is what I get ngl

with 6t it was on display fingerprint scanner

7 pro was no notch and high refresh rate

3t and lower were all just "good value"

then 8 came along

It's got nothing.

every flagship also had volume slider thing which was pretty good too but still

saved the 3t and 5, can't save the 8

then onwards it was just bad.

ceo went to start nothing phone, acquired essential and made that ugly phone

essential ph1 was the king of minimalist, no bloat, no logo, updates that were almost as fast (or faster) than pixels

then nothing came around and made a phone with a light show.

[warped sandal]

whats the ip and version of the ltt mc server

[warped narwhal]

to clarify, google releases updates to pixel experience team first, then every other company at the same time, then lets the companies add whatever flavor they want. But what ended up happening was essential got their ota update (forgot which one) ready for rollout faster than pixel experience... which then requested essential to hold off on release

[limpid fern]

Aint the server down or something

[warped sandal]

nope

got the ip

[limpid fern]

Probably 1.19 or 1.18

[warped sandal]

its 1.8+...

how come jake has the ltt yt account linked to his discord account

[unborn flare]

Never? 🗿

[warped narwhal]

guys have you heard of akg before?

[warped sandal]

the ones that make terrible samsung earbuds?

[lucid echo]

They make reputable sound gear but also shit sound gear, depending on the branding

[unborn flare]

Akg the Collab stuff from samsung yes

[velvet marsh]

they're owned by Samsung

[warped narwhal]

ok so clearly people have heard of them despite not being audiophiles.

[unborn flare]

Haven't seen them in mainstream stuff but am not a sound nerd so maybe 🗿

[unborn flare]

That's quite a revelation 🗿

[lucid echo]

They’ve been around since forever, the Samsung bullshit is new

[unborn flare]

New? Idk man 3-4 years ago my friend got a s9 and it came with their earphones

They are subsidiary of Harman kardon so makes sense that they are owned by samsung

[lucid echo]

AKG is 75 years old, 3-4 years is new in that scope

[pine matrix]

yeah

[unborn flare]

Oou makes sense

Breh wasn't it a console tho?

[gilded quest]

ffs

android flash tool doesn't work in linux or windows

[unborn flare]

I think it does work on windows tho

[gilded quest]

the google USB driver seems to be broken

[unborn flare]

You talking about Odin right?

[gilded quest]

https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

[unborn flare]

My bad

I mixed it up

🗿

[gilded quest]

for updating the phone via a computer instead of OTA

[unborn flare]

Or just flash a custom rom

[gilded quest]

no lmao

i just want android 13

also flashing my Essential Phone was painless
idk why the pixel isn't working

[unborn flare]

I mean you want that not everyone tho pixel OS looking hella smooth

[gilded quest]

so is ur mum

[unborn flare]

Wha 🗿

What phone do you use tho

[gilded quest]

interesting hypothesis

[unborn flare]

Ah yes the beta testers

[gilded quest]

is this satire?

[unborn flare]

Bruh 🗿 and you trynna mock pixels lmao

[gilded quest]

why on earth would you yolo a z flip as a first android experience

siblings don't need phones
take it back

[unborn flare]

Ofc i just gave mine a 200 dollar redmi

Yes and took their iPhone 5? You need to be appreciated for your foolish tactics

[gilded quest]

i gave my sister my old ipad + apple pencil
she wasn't even grateful 🥲

[inland night]

Ok question we all know Linus torrents movies but do you think he seeds?

[gilded quest]

does he torrent movies?

I thought he BluRay ripped for that quality

[unborn flare]

He torrents movies?

[inland night]

Well I’m just assuming he torrents because it’s a bit easier then ripping blu rays

[gilded quest]

sure

but like, compression

[graceful burrow]

He's definitely a 1:1 kind of guy

[gilded quest]

speaking of ripping blu rays

[graceful burrow]

I seed for 100 days or 5:1

[unborn flare]

I think he buys Blu rays and torrents the Rip

[gilded quest]

my parents have a DVD cabinet with > 200 BluRays in it....
Thats gonna take a fuckin long time to digitize

[unborn flare]

What do you even torrent?

[graceful burrow]

Nice try, fed

[inland night]

Lmao

[unborn flare]

🗿

[velvet marsh]

I rip my 4k blurays

[gilded quest]

linux isos

unironically

[unborn flare]

I mean they available for free 🦍

[gilded quest]

I do my part

always seed some linux isos

[unborn flare]

I mean torrenting ain't really illegal unless you start distributing copyrighted material

[hollow knot]

Same

[graceful burrow]

Torrenting is legal everywhere
Just like emulation is legal everywhere

[hollow knot]

I torrented like $900 worth of steam games and software

[graceful burrow]

Pirating copyrighted material is what's illegal
In both cases

[lament aurora]

That's just the Sims with all the dlc.

[gilded quest]

i used to torrent movies but then I realized I didn't watch like 90% of what I was torrenting so I kinda just stopped

[unborn flare]

Yea and instead of checking the torrents for the material the ISPs block all of them so no problem

[graceful burrow]

Mine doesnt
Get a better ip

[unborn flare]

How do you even torrent movies that you aren't gonna watch

[unborn flare]

Different local laws sir 🦍 they blocked the torrent sites here but you can always get past the restrictions

[gilded quest]

lol i had symmetric gigabit on campus so i was like "why not"

[graceful burrow]

Cringe local laws
Get a better region

[unborn flare]

Lmao fair enough ig

I don't run away i fight back and usually win

[gilded quest]

nowadays i just sub up to streaming services when there is a new series I wanna watch and cancel when im done

[unborn flare]

Well most ISPs use DPI to block stuff and you can easily bypass that

[gilded quest]

i just wish my ISP would let me pay for more than 20Mbps upload

[unborn flare]

Paying for a month of sub to watch a specific movie damn you really the last one Netflix has left

[unborn flare]

🗿 wtf that's too slow i get 250 upload

[gilded quest]

a) not netflix

b) I paid $10 to paramount+ and watch several star trek shows over a month and it was great

[unborn flare]

I was making a joke 🗿

[gilded quest]

and the halo show was wonderfully awful

[unborn flare]

Halo

The new one?

[gilded quest]

the Paramount+ show

from the spring

[unborn flare]

The 2022 one?

[gilded quest]

yeah

[unborn flare]

Ok the only thing I liked the most was Cortana's model

[gilded quest]

lol

it was great cause it was so bad

[unborn flare]

Nah fr

[gilded quest]

also netflix movies aren't worth watching

[unborn flare]

I actually watched all of the show because of Cortana

[gilded quest]

tbh the Halo show was my first proper introduction to halo

[unborn flare]

Ohh well that's not good actually the games are much much better for that

[gilded quest]

lmao

I quite enjoyed the show

the cg was terrible

in all the right ways

the acting was cringe

master chief got to clap some cheeks

[unborn flare]

Cortana for the win still

[unborn flare]

Ah yes but she didn't have much of them tho

[gilded quest]

jfc

imo it should have been an alien covenant

but I suppose the Christian Broadcasting Service wouldn't have liked that

[unborn flare]

That would have been really awkward. For the kids to watch imo

[unborn flare]

Yea

[fervent glacier]

[molten drift]

Ask Google

[ocean narwhal]

Yeah I did that

No fucking clue

[molten drift]

You sure.

[night heron]

a game that heavily relies on gambling microtransactions

like genshin impact or other asian mmos

[molten drift]

Because I googled it and got a pretty straight forward answer

[vapid smelt]

damnit the 1600w $200 psu wont fit in my Meshify C

[night heron]

time to upsize

[molten drift]

Join the torrent life

[ocean narwhal]

I have never played genshin or any Asian mmos

[vapid smelt]

well i do use a monster aircooler so it would be a good choice to get a torrent

[ocean narwhal]

I have no idea

And much less why anyone would pay so much money for rng drops

[molten drift]

I use a peerless assassin

[molten drift]

Because they can?

[vapid smelt]

i have a darkrock pro 4

[ocean narwhal]

What makes that fun

I love spending however much money on rng drops on video game

I mean it's just a lootbox on Crack it sounds like

so linus played ark on the video that was posted today. just want to let anyone know that if they play ark, r.bloomquality 0 and r.lightshafts 0 in the console to turn off the AAAAA MY EYES settings

[mental mortar]

do you know if its easy to swap micro sd cards? the largest miucro sd i have rn is 64

[mental mortar]

small boi

[lucid echo]

It’s almost too easy

[mental mortar]

Ah is it basically just drag and drop like the switch?

[ocean narwhal]

No idea

[lucid echo]

Yeah, there’s a menu for moving installs between the internal storage and SD

[mental mortar]

Ok

[lucid echo]

Get Aperture Desk Job. it’s free, fun and shows you all the features of the device

[ocean narwhal]

Wish they were still selling s22 ultra atomic version

They were out of stock, so I bought the overpriced oem silicone case. Like a month or 2 ago I saw they went back in stock but I decided not to since I already had a case. But now the outer silicone layer is very quickly falling apart on this piece of shit

Then it sold out and they fully killed the case

[molten drift]

Bleh.... This last call at work took all my patience, guy didn't believe me... Who's job this is and kept talking over me.

[amber elk]

I always knew I didn't really like windows but right now I seriously want to throw my pc out the window because of it. Cant do anything without having any kind of issue that nothing but so annoying. Linux isnt better since so many apps/games arent on it. Why cant ppl make an os that never requires internet or doesnt let you do whatever you want with sys files

[jagged kindle]

Hi there

[lucid echo]

Which games/apps don’t work on Linux that you wanna use?

[ivory dawn]

You can use Wine that emulates Windows applications

Steam supports proton, which is a version of wine. So games will play on Linux

[fossil frost]

as good as wine is, its still shit

especially for anything that isnt an every day use program

and anything complex

[ivory dawn]

Well true, but a lot everyday programs are cloud based so it is accessible. And devs are working to improve Wine or create better variants of it.

[fossil frost]

yeah, but its not there yet, not for everyone, not by a long way. so a general "use wine or proton, you will be fine" doesnt work, people should use whatever OS works best for their particular use case

a computer is a tool or a toy... it should just work for whatever it is you are using it for

[amber elk]

The main thing that comes to my mind is the office apps. The battlefield serie too. I dont have other specific examples but I'm sure I'd have more if I really looked deeper

[lucid echo]

Office 365 has an online client that works just like google docs, if that’s tolerable. https://protondb.com is a good resource for which games run well (and how to get them working)

[amber elk]

I know but I still find it dumb that you need an app to use other apps

[fossil frost]

visual studio runs like dogshit, fusion360, photoshop works, but is slow as fuck compared to the full fat windows version, many games run like ass too

[fossil frost]

"it has a cloud version" is a terrible argument... i dont want a lesser/shitter version of something

[next tusk]

I just saw a person saying that he doesn't need intel 12th gen cpu 💀

[lucid echo]

That’s why I said “if it’s tolerable”. Sometimes people just wanna type up a two page essay, and the online version is fine for that. But others have more complicated tasks that make it not tolerable.

[amber elk]

Thats just annoying. I just want to download my stuff and install them where I want them to be and then be able to use them however I intend to even if it means spending 1h tweaking the settings to fit my style

[fossil frost]

so? if they say they dont need it, then they dont need it... its not for you to tell them they have to have it if they dont need it

[agile jetty]

Ryzen is better anyway in performance per watt
AMD
"Together, we advance"

[lucid echo]

There are a few programs that would make Windows a lot less frustrating for you

[fossil frost]

those intolerable parts are using the cloud version of excel, in any sort of way at all...

[next tusk]

I mean that thing is great as hell. It's like saying that "I don't need my RTX 3080ti". A bit weird

[lucid echo]

I agree with you completely. They haven’t stated their intention for MS office so the advice is open-ended

[ivory dawn]

I understand your point, but Linux optimization is improving. Same principle to ARM emulating x86/x64 based files/programs. If I stuck with Linux, I am sure I'd just fine. Granted I have a longevity of experience, however I would predict that more programs or improvements continue with Linux.

[fossil frost]

you dont NEED a 12th gen, you dont NEED a 3080... you WANT a 3080, or you WANT a 12th gen

[agile jetty]

I don't need my intel UHD graphics on a 12900KS

[lucid echo]

Very few people actually need a 3080ti lmao

[ivory dawn]

lol

[fossil frost]

people who say they NEED a 3080 for gaming are 1. stupid. 2. children. or 3. grown ups who dont live in the real world

[amber elk]

Instead what we have now is a Windows thay doesnt let you install it without internet or some tech requirements (its not an issue for me but its still dumb). We cant even drag and drop stuff in the taskbar, cant resize it, we cant open task manager anymore. We simply cant personalize it anymore

[agile jetty]

I'm saving for a supposed Radeon 7900XT
timespy gets 19000 points on both 4090 and the Radeon gpu
But ig will be used for 3d modeling too

[ivory dawn]

I NEEEEEEEEEEED a 3090ti lol

[fossil frost]

or 4. people who work with video editing/rendering

[lucid echo]

https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
I think this will have you hating windows a LOT less

[next tusk]

I'm struggling with my GTX 550ti and 1650 mobile
So when a person says that they don't need RTX 3080ti or similar GPU while having it...

[amber elk]

Could you send me a list ?

[agile jetty]

Or.. you game at 4KUHD
also I'd dp 3D modeling too so the 3080 ti is looking spicy

[fossil frost]

you need to learn the difference between "want" and "need"

[fossil frost]

again, that isnt NEED, thats WANT

the gaming part that is, not the modeling

[amber elk]

I will check that when I wake up, I'm too angry at windows to turn my pc on

[ivory dawn]

Needs are essential to survive. Wants are desires.

[lucid echo]

The one I just linked is the primary solution. StartAllBack is great if you’re on Win11

[vapid smelt]

i need food to survive but i dont need a donut

[next tusk]

You need to learn to understand jokes and half-joke messages

[lucid echo]

I need the 4090 because timespy

[agile jetty]

If you could fuckijg read
YOU CANT
Do HEAVY 3D MODELING
On UHD 620

[inland night]

Or 5. People who want to play cyberpunk at max settings

[next tusk]

I need 3080ti so I can play game from 1998

[lucid echo]

Ha! You’ve activated my “It’s just a joke” trap card!!

[amber elk]

I think I'm going to roll back to windows 10, just cant deal with w11 anymore, way too annoying for me and my mindset

[agile jetty]

You need quad 3090 tis in SLI for that

[fossil frost]

i was in the middle of writing a follow up... the modeling falls under need, the gaming is "want"

[lucid echo]

Personally I love it. With StartAllBack & WSL2 it feels like a very clean Gnome3 Linux distro. But I totally get why ppl hate on it. Personal preference

[amber elk]

What if you want to need ?

[agile jetty]

Everyone at LTT: 3080 cause it's best bang for buck for our work
Plouffe: 3090 because yes

[lucid echo]

Were you the one asking about rolling back without wiping a drive?

[amber elk]

I will give it a try, lets hope I can enjoy it too

[fossil frost]

LTT have stupid cards in their systems because of video rendering, and because they are paid to advertise those cards

[amber elk]

Nah

[agile jetty]

Video rendering is better on a quadro tbh
Also Plouffe was KINDA smart by going 3090
It'll be a good GPU for a loonfg time

[amber elk]

I did my pc in such a way that unless some apps requires to be on the same drive as windows, I can totally wipe it and do a fresh install without loosing anything

[agile jetty]

While the 3080 will probably be destroyed by an rtx 4060

[lucid echo]

Nvm

[fossil frost]

its "better" on the quadro, not better.. its guaranteed to be good on a quadro, where it could be just as good on the 3080, but isnt guaranteed to always be as good

[lucid echo]

Shit people say before each generation release

[amber elk]

The 3080 can still be a good gpu for a long time, compared to a gtx card at least

[agile jetty]

and it's always almost true
3070: faster than the 2080Ti, just 499$

[next tusk]

Same thing will be with 50 series

[amber elk]

Yes but thats what you expect with a new generation

If its a new generation just for the sake of saying "its new", its useless

[next tusk]

If this situation will be similar to GTX 1630 one

Well, that will mean only one thing. GPU will be useless

[lucid echo]

Almost always it’s the new 70 beats the old 80, the new 60 beats the old 70, NOT the new 60 “destroys” the old 80

[amber elk]

There is a difference between a gpu and a desktop sized apu

[lucid echo]

Even if they had the capability to do that with the 4060, they won’t, because artificial segmentation is necessary to maximize profits

[amber elk]

the 1050 destroys the 3090ti

[next tusk]

People who wait for RTX 4090
Meanwhile people with RTX 8000:

To people who don't get it: there's Nvidia GPU called Quadro RTX 8000.

[agile jetty]

Quadro RTX 8000

[next tusk]

Though it's not for gaming

[agile jetty]

They're workstation cards BUT THEY'RE VERY GOOD for mining

[amber elk]

I'm waiting for the 40xx gen to come out just to hopefully get even lower prices on the 30xx

[next tusk]

They're expensive as heck

Plus mining in 2022 is kinda dead

[agile jetty]

But pentahashes

[lucid echo]

For now….

[next tusk]

I hope it will be dead for eternity

[lucid echo]

Likewise

[amber elk]

More gpus, yay

[next tusk]

It's already pain for me to get GPU

[agile jetty]

Crypto is the way of the future

[next tusk]

It's expensive as fck

[lucid echo]

But I also hope to not gain any weight from eating this entire pizza

[lucid echo]

Unfortunately this seems to be the case, it really sucks

[next tusk]

However when I was in Sweden as a refugee few months ago

[pliant karma]

hopefully moving to proof of stake soon but heheh doubt not for a while

[amber elk]

I just hope I can still pay in liquid and not need a credit card for everything

[next tusk]

I noticed that PC there with AMD ryzen 5 5600x and RTX 3070 costs as much as single RTX 3070 in my country

+- 1200 dollars to be exact

Too sad I had no money

But hey, at least I have GTX 1650 mobile

And core i5 10300H is good too

[lucid echo]

That’ll be the day, I’ll finally sell my “ETH2” and delete my coinbase

[next tusk]

by the way, GTX or RTX gang?

[lucid echo]

Whichever is best for the price point and desired usage

[next tusk]

How about GTX 1080ti

[lucid echo]

That’s a GPU

[pliant karma]

lol on another server someone sent this and ahh gotta love karma dude has a faulty cable on his psu

[lucid echo]

I’ve seen similar pics

[next tusk]

I hope every miner will meet this fate

wait...that will make them buy more GPUs

[lucid echo]

Same place different angle

[pliant karma]

lol same pic differnt angle

lovely

[next tusk]

@lucid echo opinion about GTX 550ti

[lucid echo]

It is a graphics card

[next tusk]

Yes it is

[pliant karma]

and its an old one

[next tusk]

True.

At least I'm able to play starcraft 2 on high graphics with it

came across this while scrolling though amazon for fun

itx board in atx case and so many other sins being commited

[lean hare]

it was, now it's more like furniture support or something, museum piece? 😛

[agile jetty]

It's s mining card

[next tusk]

Hell no

[lean hare]

ah fair enough, never touched mining

[lucid echo]

Perfect GPU for a NAS that needs a video out for a terminal

[lean hare]

that is true, but I'd get a GT 710 for that 😂

[pliant karma]

tried to mine on my 1050 2gb lol not even a chance

[lean hare]

I hope I get my GT 1030 at work tomorrow, the ultrawide 1080p res is killing me

might as well hook up my MBP and use that in the meantime

[next tusk]

Should I connect my laptop to 8K TV?

might as well get some meat so I can make steaks

[lean hare]

depends what you want to achieve by doing it

[next tusk]

Good picture for 1 second

[lean hare]

not how it works

[next tusk]

Well I guessed that

[lean hare]

it will be picture for however long you want 😛 just not 8K

unless your laptop supports 8K res, idk which laptop you got - though I will trust Sanic's response

[next tusk]

I have GTX 1650 with i5 10300H

Won't support 8K of course

[lean hare]

I guess that will output 4K at least(?), but it won't be usable for gaming

[next tusk]

Nah I just want to see StarCraft 2 in 4k even if for a minute

[agile jetty]

but a 1080 now..

[agile jetty]

The 1060 can output crap fps 8K 30hz

[lean hare]

oh right, nice

[next tusk]

I have laptop

Not desktop

Laptops are much weaker

To be exact it's not even GTX 1650, it's GTX 1650 Mobile

[hybrid shell]

still a 1650 tbh

[next tusk]

No

[hybrid shell]

it does have less performqnce

but

[next tusk]

Overall it is but weaker

[hybrid shell]

yeah

[next tusk]

And it uses laptop RAM, not GPU memory

[hybrid shell]

what's the brand of your laptop

[next tusk]

Lenovo ideapad gaming

[hybrid shell]

nice

[next tusk]

Don't remember which one exactly

[vapid smelt]

no it uses Gddr5

[next tusk]

Should I go to sleep now?

[hybrid shell]

if you feel like it

[next tusk]

Well there's a small issue

Air raid sirens are not clear yet

So it's not very safe

But I've been sitting like this for two hours

I'm tired as heck

And maybe it's not that dangerous?

[agile jetty]

Air raid sirens? Are you in Taiwan rn?

[next tusk]

Can't

I was already in Sweden as a refugee. Plus in Poland they don't give money to refugees anymore.
And me and my parents are already full with other things.

Plus it's not that dangerous in capital

So yeah. I'll have to remain here

[agile jetty]

Ask thr ukrgov for a Light Machine Gun and fight for your country

Weren't they arming citizens with LMGs?

[next tusk]

I'm too young to get into fight

[next tusk]

They were arming some civilians with ARs when war started

Everyone thought that russians will get into center of the capital

[agile jetty]

My dad be like: back in my day I almost got shot for throwing glass bottles around (fhis is actually true

[next tusk]

Many civilians wanted to fight

[hybrid shell]

damn

[agile jetty]

Yk our supply is literally fucked
China didnsome things.. and most of the US and some parts of Canada rely on China manufacturing

I have an old laptop ima leave in the US, when I turn around 18-21 I'm going to apply for SWAP immigration process

[next tusk]

Aight

I'm going to sleep

Or no

[amber pagoda]

Anyone, good airflow case to fit 3fan gpu?

[next tusk]

Yay, finally

All clear now

[vapid smelt]

what budget

[next tusk]

I can go sleep

[amber pagoda]

Like 80-100$

Phanteks is nice too

They come with cable ties

[hot oxide]

wheres the best channel for like

[dusky egret]

Phanteks cases generally have solid airflow and built well

[hot oxide]

advice lol

[amber pagoda]

Ive heard that too

[dusky egret]

What kind of advice

[amber pagoda]

Ill look into that phanteks one

[agile jetty]

Also u lied

[amber pagoda]

Thank you brotha

You said you'd say of you got another offer

[dusky egret]

What’s your use case and budget

is 3,600mb/s write speed on an ssd slow?

[carmine dew]

https://youtu.be/V7yVKB_F58c

[agile jetty]

HELL NO

[fervent glacier]

oh..

[carmine dew]

Linus should review this tv

[dusky egret]

Depends on capacity but if it’s a 1TB then it’s hella speedy

[fervent glacier]

2tb B)

[lucid echo]

That’s standard gen3 nvme speed

[hot oxide]

something that i can play some not too extreme games, and also use for college, work, etc. light to bring around. i mean i'd try to stay 1kish and under but if its a little over for something really good im not totally against it

gaming and school basically

[fervent glacier]

its meant to do 7700mb/s but mobo bottlenecks

[lucid echo]

If you have a last-gen motherboard, that makes sense

[fervent glacier]

didnt know it would bottleneck tf out of my ssd lmao

[dusky egret]

Dell Inspirons are pretty good for decent spec at a value price

[fervent glacier]

how a palit rtx 3070 for a 13 year old?

[hot oxide]

is there a specific one that is better

[vapid smelt]

1k usd and your in America?

[hot oxide]

yes

[lucid echo]

You don’t need that speed anyways

[hot oxide]

sweet ill look into this

thanks for the recs

[dusky egret]

That’s an amazing deal for 999

[velvet marsh]

It does get very hot during gaming tho

but most laptops do

[dusky egret]

You’ll need a mouse anyway, you can pick up a cheap keyboard and position a fan facing the laptop keyboard

It’s amazing how cheap a mechanical keyboard is on the used market

British television program about 3 guys who mess around with cars. At its peak it was watched by 350 million people worldwide

[young bloom]

oh

[random jolt]

that is actually such a good deal

[rustic grove]

[random jolt]

a 10750h and 2070sq costed 2.2k a few yrs ago and that's probs 10% worse perf wise

[agile jetty]

What GPU should I go with
Maxed settings on cod, flight sim, forza, and minecraft with RTX ON at 2560x1440 165hz

[random jolt]

any budget cap?

[rustic grove]

3060 sounds decent, but if you can go 3080

[agile jetty]

~2000 on gpu

USD

[rustic grove]

go for the best you can

[random jolt]

3080 will do then, but with 2k u can get a 3090ti kingpin with a power supply included for 1.5k iirc from evga

but if u have 2k id wait for 4000 series

[rustic grove]

[agile jetty]

I plan to go to 4K later on, and the 3090 is looking spicyz is it worth it?

[dusky egret]

1.5k on GPU, 500 for the PSU lmao

[rustic grove]

50k for touching my f**king rear wing

[agile jetty]

4K MAX settings on all games with RTX ON

[dusky egret]

Someone has to pay for the FIA’s party

[agile jetty]

I also have to buu over 1k worth of peripherals
Alot is racing and flight gear

[random jolt]

nvm 2k for the power supply + 3090ti https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-4998-KT
1500 for just the 3090ti

[rustic grove]

is boris invited?

[agile jetty]

I'm never paying back my debit/credit card debt

[random jolt]

but u would get much better value with stuff from the 4000 series

[dusky egret]

Usually the halo product is release first and we’re like 2 months away from launch

[agile jetty]

Hmm. What about RX 7000 supposedly with Ampere Rt performance

[random jolt]

still salty I paid 2k for just a 3090 ftw3u just a year ago

[vapid smelt]

getting shafted by Nvidia

[agile jetty]

Ay, if you want you can play 8K Now

[dusky egret]

With all due respect to Radeon, history has taught us to not expect too much

[rustic grove]

🎥

[random jolt]

that would work too tbh, depends on if u can find value through any of the nvidia software stuff like studio/rt/gsync

[vapid smelt]

at 3090 msrp

[agile jetty]

My R9 290X served me well. May it rest in peace

[dusky egret]

They’re decent cards but Nvidia always has the edge on the high end

[rustic grove]

me who used a radeon hd 7700 for 10 years and it was pulled out of a dell vostro tower from 2009

[agile jetty]

Bro I found one 3090 at 3070 ti msr0

But the funny was inevitable
Out of stock

[dusky egret]

Bruh is that a blower plus triple fan rad

[fervent glacier]

XD but I have the money

[vapid smelt]

a hybrid card

[fervent glacier]

also i think £430 for one is good

[agile jetty]

Unless you installing 1600 copies of warzone you dont

Hell no that isn't a good price

[fervent glacier]

bruh lmao

it comes w a 24m warrantee

[agile jetty]

Trying to translate to local currency
USD a good price is like $170

[fervent glacier]

for a 3070??!?!?!?!!?

[agile jetty]

No

For the ssd

[lucid echo]

It’s almost as if I was replying to your comment about the SSD

[agile jetty]

Yall can u check #tech-chat-1 rq

[fervent glacier]

but is 430 good for a 3070

[dusky egret]

That’s got to be the most chungus cooling solution I’ve seen on a stock card

[random jolt]

depression™️

[agile jetty]

Bet bitc I'm buying that

That's a deal as that psu I can only find for over 700

[full fossil]

that website looks sus

[random jolt]

evga's website is straight out of 2010s lol

[velvet marsh]

you mean evga's website? lol

[full fossil]

yeah lol

probably running on an old dusty server that no one dares to unplug because they don’t know what it’s for

[vapid smelt]

evga sounds like a scam to me

[random jolt]

one of the better gpu aibs i've bought from

[velvet marsh]

is this bad for my gpu /s

[fervent glacier]

^

[dusky egret]

Silverstone as well

[lucid echo]

I wrote a scalper bot for EVGA’s site. It’s a messy old ASPX site. Complete ass. Great company tho. They never anticipated the attention their site would receive with 30 series

It didn’t even have captchas during checkout until like 3 months after 3000 release, which is why I chose it

[random jolt]

so ur the one who made me wait on the waiting list for 14 months before I got my card /s

[lucid echo]

Lmao, maybe 🤔

[echo ridge]

So how many did you get

[velvet marsh]

I got mine October of 2020 with no bot

[narrow plinth]

Hey I'm trying to get a gaming and 3d modelling pc setup for about 2k$, I'm not really experienced with building pcs but I also don't want to get a prebuilt to try and get the best bang for my buck, I've picked some components from pcpartspicker, what should I add or change that might be more beneficial:
CPU: Intel core i9
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB LHR 10 GB FTW3 ULTRA GAMING LHR Video Card
Memory: Corsair Vengence 2x16GB ddr5 cl36
Motherboard: MSI MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Power Supply: EVGA G5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Case: Thermaltake Versa C22 RGB Snow Edition ATX Mid Tower Case
P.S. I don't need storage because I already have a 1tb m.2 ready to go

[dusky egret]

4000 series is going wreak havoc on the PSU market

[lucid echo]

I got zero, but my friends used the script and got maybe 2-3 total. All genuine purchases, no scalping

[echo ridge]

Bruh

Should of wrote a faster bot

[lucid echo]

I eventually got a 3080 for a few hours dev work as I’ve mentioned before so I’m not complaining

[lucid echo]

It was fast as fuck, connected to 20 VPNs at once and ran all twenty windows in parallel until one found it in stock

[echo ridge]

I spilled water on my gpu

[vapid smelt]

so you are saying that you are bad at coding bots

[lucid echo]

Yes

[echo ridge]

Why did I write gpu

[lucid echo]

Also very bad at having it running when the drops actually happened

That’s really why my friends beat me to it

[echo ridge]

I spilled water on my keyboard

[random jolt]

gonna take this to #tech-chat-2 since it's less busy there
depending on the type of 3d work ur doing more vram would be nice. I work with vray/rhino/c4d/corona rdr and it would frequently load up 12-18 depending on the workload

[echo ridge]

And now I'm waiting for it to dry

[lucid echo]

I did, however, accidentally spend $50 on two of their $1 case badges with overnight shipping because I let a test run go too far

[echo ridge]

So it was running at sonic speeds what you needed was flash speeds

[lucid echo]

One is currently on my LTT bottle

My friends still tease me for it

[echo ridge]

-50

[dusky egret]

Could you not cancel the order

[echo ridge]

He forgot and it was too late prob

[lucid echo]

It added rush shipping and all that so by the time I noticed (it was running headless, didn’t see confirmation) it was too late

[echo ridge]

L

[vapid smelt]

did evga bait your bot

[echo ridge]

Kids this why you don't bot

[lucid echo]

The script took a SKU from their site so I was giving it the case badge SKU cuz I knew it would always be in stock

Forgot I had un-commented the line that clicked “complete purchase”

[vapid smelt]

[echo ridge]

So what's the fastest way to dry a keyboard

[lucid echo]

Sunlight and hair dryer

[vapid smelt]

firepit

[lucid echo]

Two kinds of answers

[young bloom]

No

Fastest way for me is to go into Aswan city and buy in sand for a few hours

Best way

[echo ridge]

I did a little whoopie with my water bottle

[vapid smelt]

bet it wasnt a lttstore.com water bottle

[echo ridge]

I forgor and bought a hydro flask

[grizzled field]

hey guys

[echo ridge]

No

Joking

[echo ridge]

Hot or cold air

[pliant karma]

and it went to sparks with new worlds but all is good now

[velvet marsh]

Yeah shut up lol

[pliant karma]

hehehe

side note about to have myself 33tb nas

[velvet marsh]

Not bad

[grizzled field]

i actually have a thermoflask

[pliant karma]

once I manage to get the dell ps4210 working. I have vmware on my r630 so it's pretty much set to go

[velvet marsh]

I think mines at 90 raw atm

76 useable

[echo ridge]

Yoo my keyboard is alive

[pliant karma]

I'll have to see which raid config I want to do

atm raid 5 on the r630

[velvet marsh]

I just used unraid

[pliant karma]

yea problem the dell ps4210 is essentially a jbod

I have no clue how to make it work but I will make it work soon

[velvet marsh]

ah yeah, I'm just running consumer hardware

tho my cpu in my server is a better gaming cpu than my main desktop lol

[pliant karma]

oh new threadripper is out lol

[fervent glacier]

oi guys

will a 3070 work with a 5500?

[velvet marsh]

Yeah but not trx40 so RIP

[pliant karma]

rip but lenovo has been giving me ads on their ThinkStation P620

[lean hare]

5500 what?

[velvet marsh]

ryzen 5

[lean hare]

Oh, is that a thing, thought 5600 was lowest - but sure, it will work, idk if it’ll bottleneck though

[velvet marsh]

lower binned I think

at 1080 maybe a little, but 1440 and up will be fine with a 3070

[dusky egret]

Depends on res I think

[pliant karma]

there is also a R3 4100 amd be smoking something with these releases lol

[lean hare]

Yeah, 3070 will do 1440p fairly decent in most title on max settings (without ray tracing in some or most cases)

[lean hare]

Isn’t that the mobile ones?

[dusky egret]

Didn’t LTT prove that RTX isn’t really worth it anyway

[pliant karma]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uve60pwRYb8&t=215s

[lean hare]

Lmao, proper confused!

[pliant karma]

supposed to go up with the 12100f/12100

[echo ridge]

3300x better

[pliant karma]

oh lord there is also a ryzen 5 4500

[echo ridge]

Ik

[dusky egret]

Can’t wait for Intel battle mage to overlap GPU names with motherboard chipsets

[coarse kayak]

12100f is faster than 5500 in pretty much every game and then the lower ones are just pain lol

[vapid smelt]

r5 3600 > r5 4500

[cold drum]

hmm, true, the 3rdgen can outlast 4th gen even it is a 3 year old cpu

but also

r5600 > r5 3600

[honest zenith]

is https://linustechtips.com/ down for anyone else?

[dusky egret]

Asus ROG is the biggest culprit

[graceful burrow]

These were recalled

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueQDmaoAF2c

[graceful burrow]

Well, not recalled but they had some drama because they weren't actually n95 certified

[dusky egret]

They haven’t done gaming routers yet

[graceful burrow]

You know
After advertising it

[graceful burrow]

Razer Sila

[vapid smelt]

other then reviewers who would buy and use a razer mask

[graceful burrow]

People who want to be laughed at for looking like a dork

[dusky egret]

Wasn’t it cancelled (and also not a very good router)

[graceful burrow]

No and probably

There's a support page for sila on razer's website

There are a lot on ebay

[dusky egret]

I’m surprised people fell for that crap

[graceful burrow]

I'm not

People buy other razer products, after all

[dusky egret]

Tbh nothing is quite as insane as OCZ’s “”mind control”” controller

Gaming routers have the same vibe as people who buy £500 cables for their speakers

[vapid smelt]

razer headphone stand to display your trash headphones

[night heron]

broke two pairs of razer krakens in my early days of pc gaming

just by using them day to day

[graceful burrow]

Unsurprising

[dusky egret]

Corsair has these as well

[graceful burrow]

Razer's build quality leaves a lot to be desired

[night heron]

it was the microphone on both

[dusky egret]

Alex is right, buy used audiophile gear, pretty much anything branded for gamers in the audio space is garbage or overpriced

[night heron]

i have my 770s on some random $10 amazon stand

the stand is covered in dust because the 770s dont sound good

[vapid smelt]

i dont believe in headphone stands

[dusky egret]

Are you using a good amp

[graceful burrow]

Me either I just set the headphones down kek

[night heron]

based

[night heron]

yeah my chain should be more than good enough to max out my 80 ohm dt770s

i use an iemagni and modi because i primarily use iems

[dusky egret]

Same tbh, but I still want an rgb stand for the vibes

[dusky egret]

Schiit, thought that would be plenty to get a good sound out of the 770s

[night heron]

it's more than enough power

and clean enough

i just dont like the way they sound

[vapid smelt]

heaphones are designed to be on round boney heads not a thin piece of plastic

[dusky egret]

Have you tried the HD600s? A lot of people swear by them

[night heron]

naw i havent, i dont think i would like them

[dusky egret]

Are you more of a balance person or a bass heavy person

[night heron]

i like a very specific sound signature

i like boosted subbass but despise boosted midbass, neutral mids all the way through, and boosted high treble

but almost all v-shaped headphones also boost 80-200hz, and 2-4khz

[feral wedge]

Does anyone know if using water flavor packets could be a good alternative for water dye's when using water cooling? Mabye the liquid flavorings?

[night heron]

which i hate

[dusky egret]

Sounds like my dad ngl, maybe try adding a multi channel EQ to your chain like it’s the 80s lmao

[night heron]

yeah i have to eq all my gear

i use equalizerapo so i can be specific

[graceful burrow]

This might be one of the most least advisable things I could think of

[feral wedge]

Why though? If you used the actual packets and clear hardtubing wouldn't it NOT dye the tubing?

[night heron]

that would be outrageously based

i want to see you do it so i support it

[feral wedge]

It would be way cheaper than actual pre-mixed dye's too.

[graceful burrow]

You're basically feeding the bacteria

[dusky egret]

What ingredients are in it

[feral wedge]

It's pretty much just sugar.

[graceful burrow]

Nothing that belongs in a loop

[feral wedge]

I mean think about it though.

[dusky egret]

Would you like to have a nice colony of mushrooms in your loop?

[graceful burrow]

I have it's fucking stupid

[dusky egret]

What about car coolant

[feral wedge]

I might try it if I do custom water-cooling.

[feral wedge]

Yeah but like then you don't get custom colors

[night heron]

youre gonna fuck up your waterblocks and radiators but itll be funny

[dusky egret]

Yeah if shit starts growing in your rad that’s game over

[night heron]

mio energy water loop

gfuel pc

[feral wedge]

Wait no

Gatorade

[graceful burrow]

This might be, genuinely, the dumbest idea I've ever seen here ever
And that's really fucking impressive

[dusky egret]

Most car coolants are in Gatorade colours though

[feral wedge]

I guess

[vapid smelt]

sugar in your loop helps with cooling

[feral wedge]

Actually yeah I wanna see someone test car coolant against distilled water.

I mean it's technically the same system as a car cooler. There's a pump, radiator, and tubes.

Also a reservoir.

[vapid smelt]

car coolant just has higher boiling points and lower freezing points

[feral wedge]

I mean yeah

But mabye it could actually make a bigger difference.

[velvet marsh]

Wouldn't change anything

[dusky egret]

Jayz2cents did it

[feral wedge]

I mean a few degrees is a few degrees. Especially with next-gen Intel's being home heaters and PC 2-in-1 combo's.

[feral wedge]

Dm vid link

[dusky egret]

You’re putting more strain on your pump and potentially inviting gunk build up

[vapid smelt]

only the 12900k is dumb with power consumption

[dusky egret]

He used anti freeze https://youtu.be/3wztD55-AWA

[feral wedge]

And it's supposed to 'match' the power of 5000 series yet the heat makes it impossible to actually boost to a good GHZ.

[feral wedge]

Aren't there multiple coolants for cars though?

Cuz there's like.. brake and engine and..

Other stuff.

[vapid smelt]

[vapid smelt]

so its the same

[velvet marsh]

yeah within margin of error

[dusky egret]

Make an r134a loop

[slim yacht]

waiting for 13900k single core 5.8ghz at 400w 🫂
intel calls it 'unlimited power mode' even

[velvet marsh]

My cpu pulls about 350w at load

[slim yacht]

thats your whole chip
that 13900k is just 1 core

[vapid smelt]

remember all you need to cool a 12900k is a 120mm aio that is what dell uses

[iron drift]

Can someone help me with something

[velvet marsh]

it won't pull 400w on 1 core thats for sure

[keen shore]

everyone pulling out the high quality profile pictures today. we have a crying penguin, a magic plushy, and a walking face

[dull skiff]

13900k + rtx 4090 ti would be the new ultimate heater setup

at least it will actually game well though

[slim yacht]

actually yes it does. thats why its 5.8ghz

[feral wedge]

There's also me

[slim yacht]

all core wont pull 400w, its capped at 350w

wait it doesnt show that frquency lmao

[velvet marsh]

That says the package hit 420w, meaning 1 core won't hit 400w

[slim yacht]

it just shows power usage is 420w in single core test

[keen shore]

ok raptor is LGA1700

[slim yacht]

its a single core test, sir

[velvet marsh]

No that's during xtu which is multi core

[iron drift]

I mean idk I just need some advice

[umbral talon]

say "oot" for free vbucks

[slim yacht]

wait lemme find an article that says what i said.
i forgot which exactly it is

[feral wedge]

Oof

[umbral talon]

no

[feral wedge]

Now give robux

[umbral talon]

not oof

oot

[slim yacht]

crap couldnt find it
i guess we just have to wait then

[full fossil]

does anyone know the startups in london are going up right now ?

[feral wedge]

Oof. Now give roux

[umbral talon]

OOT

[feral wedge]

OOF, NOW GIVE ME MY ROXBOX

[velvet marsh]

I can guarantee it won't be 400w on one core

[willow plover]

I can not access linustechtips.com as of 6:39 PM Pacific time and August 15

[slim yacht]

hopefully not cause shit would be way too hard to cool

[keen shore]

will we be in danger if the cpu percorms too fast
what if it goes too fast

[feral wedge]

It'll just go fast

[slim yacht]

tfw 13900k + 4090 = your home additional hvac

except you cant control how much heat is being outputted

[keen shore]

a hat required for safety

[feral wedge]

It's just all the heat

[slim yacht]

cant believe we now require a 700w minimum psu lol

Its back in to the wilderness for me, scrubs.

[graceful burrow]

hi brian

how is your day going

i dont typically follow monitors/tvs
they dont interest me that much

a screen is a screen unless you go too low

[feral wedge]

Unless it's a CRT.

[graceful burrow]

BFD was big

it's been done

nvidia calls their bfd a monitor

[feral wedge]

A TV is a big monitor that runs at low HZ.

[graceful burrow]

that's not true at all

not even close kek

[graceful burrow]

if that were true why does my television run at 120hz

im sure there are even tv's that run at 240hz

[feral wedge]

In most cases tvs don't have high Hz. Unless it's specifically branded as a gaming tv or whatever.

[graceful burrow]

thats Simply not true

most large tv's nowadays are 120hz

[inland night]

Bruh no

[graceful burrow]

unless you're buying bargain bin products

[carmine merlin]

A tv has worse color accuracy and response times than monitors. But they do include some features like 4k, oled, and hdr that are expensive on normal monitors

[feral wedge]

Go to Walmart and then pick out a TV. Tell me there's one that goes above 70HZ.

[graceful burrow]

MOST KEK

[feral wedge]

It's just simply not the case.

[graceful burrow]

idk what pinner walmart you have but all 3 in the surrounding towns have a huge wall of flat-screens

where most of them have 120hz

[carmine merlin]

and yes, place a 60hz monitor with a 60hz tv, the monitor is most likely faster

[graceful burrow]

only budget store-brand tier tv's are 60hz now
120hz isnt rare anymore, it's becoming standard

just like 4k is becoming standard in tv's

[young bloom]

mine is 720p

[vapid smelt]

this isnt 2002 anymore

[graceful burrow]

my condolences, my phone has had a higher resolution since 2017

[young bloom]

im poor

[feral wedge]

I have a 1080p tv but it looks bad in 1080p compared to like 720p

It's weird

The 65” TV I bought from Walmart does native 120Hz

[feral wedge]

It kinda looks blurry if that makes sense

[graceful burrow]

it's probably not true 1080p
a lot of cheaper 1080p tv's do like
1360x768 and just downsample 1080p content to it

[granite tinsel]

saw razer made a dualsense charging dock that didn't use one of those stupid dongles that clips onto the USB-C port and thought "holy shit razer actually making a good product for once??"
then i noticed it cost more than the first-party charging dock while charging one less controller

i still got it anyway; it suits my needs better at my gaming PC setup since i only need to charge the one controller and it isn't hardwired like the first-party dock

[graceful burrow]

sounds like razer to me

they're the apple of "gaming" stuff

[granite tinsel]

it was on sale at a price that made it identical to the first-party dock LMAO

[inland night]

Alienware is the apple of gaming stuff

[graceful burrow]

they sure arent

[granite tinsel]

i mean you say that as if apple can't make a good product--they can but they're marred by weird doctrine

[graceful burrow]

alienware is just another shitty prebuilt company like origin or hp

[granite tinsel]

razer just knows they can overcharge because of brand recognition alone

[graceful burrow]

omen, my bad

[granite tinsel]

apple at least tries lmao

[graceful burrow]

this is the qualification of being apple in the gaming space

[granite tinsel]

...fair enough

[graceful burrow]

specifically that
it just so happens that razer makes pretty low quality stuff to boot kek

[lucid echo]

Alienware makes great monitors also

[granite tinsel]

this charging dock is nice... except that it seems to have trouble keeping its USB-C cable in its port for some reason

[graceful burrow]

dell makes great monitors yeah

[granite tinsel]

like, it's looser than normal for a USB-C port

[lucid echo]

“Alienware”

[carmine merlin]

meanwhile my place which 480p crt is still common:

[full fossil]

any startup in london really worth it ?

waht they plan ?

[feral wedge]

No, I plugged my computer into it and set it to 1080p. It wouldn't go any higher but it just looked like hot garbage.

[graceful burrow]

because of the aforementioned reason yes

weird how that works

[lucid echo]

Accepted resolution and native resolution are distinct properties

[feral wedge]

The native was probably 280p

[dreamy spoke]

What was that old service LTT used to advertise where it looked like you could drag windows across different computers like some kind of dual-pc dual-monitor KVM?

synergy?

maybe thats not what i need

[lucid echo]

Yep that’s it

[hot oxide]

ok im coming back for more advice

[lucid echo]

I use it and it’s alright. Can be laggy at times. Works for bare minimum

I’ve had better luck with parsec

[hot oxide]

earlier someone sent the https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-14-fhd-144hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-16gb-ddr4-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-512gb-pcie-ssd-moonlight-white/6494633.p?skuId=6494633 but i think im actually gonna wanna spend up to 900 max, so if theres any more laptop suggestions (i also got recommended the dell inspiron but im not sure which specfic one) (looking for something i can play some games on but also light for school)

somewhere around 700-800 would be better

[low arch]

[violet hazel]

How many hours of Minecraft do you have?

[low arch]

https://tenor.com/view/too-many-counting-gif-15929632

[violet hazel]

Just don’t drop it then and use it for 10+ years

[full fossil]

Ew ssds are more expensive per gb

[violet hazel]

Find me a 4tb ssd for 60$

[violet hazel]

Fax

[vapid smelt]

dont be broke and have a bigger budget then $60 ez

i have a nvme gen 4 2tb ssd

[violet hazel]

Dataceneters have billions and still use hdd

[vapid smelt]

funny how they are switching to ssds

[full fossil]

Buy me one then ez

[violet hazel]

Yea in 20 years

[pliant karma]

buy me jkjk

[vapid smelt]

they are right now

[violet hazel]

Buy me one

[violet hazel]

Not 100% ssd

[pliant karma]

and there is tape drives just chilling 👀

[violet hazel]

And floppys

[vapid smelt]

https://www.techradar.com/news/ssds-could-squeeze-hard-drives-out-the-data-center-sooner-than-you-think

[pliant karma]

considering how we have seen what 18tb 20? on a single ssd no surprise.

[violet hazel]

1. That’s a company who has been banned from all countries except china.
2. That’s in 2025

[lofty quest]

gtx 1650 or gtx 1060 3gb

[violet hazel]

1650 because vram

[pliant karma]

My dell jbod I got atm uses 1.2tb SAS drives but when soon, idk when but when time comes I'll transition that or possibly build an all SSD nas

[violet hazel]

Why

Waste of money

[pliant karma]

ehh I prefer ssds I still have hdds as hot spares but would rather use ssds.

[violet hazel]

Hdd gang for life 💪 #hddstrong

[pliant karma]

problem with the jbod is that it only accepts 2.5in drives

[violet hazel]

Alright ima go to bed gn everyone

[vapid smelt]

using a hdd in a desktop

[violet hazel]

2.5 inch hdd exist but more money

[violet hazel]

I use ssd and I’m buying hdd

[pliant karma]

yea but at that point I'd rather buy an ssd mainly speed access etc soo ahhh I'll figure it out as I go along. I just need to worry about my itx pc soon

that I'm going all nvme

[pliant karma]

using it as a boot is a sin

[vapid smelt]

imagine owning over 30 harddrives

[pliant karma]

yes lol but when you do not know the condition of each drive makes it worst

[vapid smelt]

make a bullet resistant car with them

[iron hatch]

What are your opinions on Nintendo switch?

I’d like to know someone’s opinions

[vapid smelt]

old

[iron hatch]

please can you elaborate

Just give me a justification or something

?

[vapid smelt]

its old and need a refresh with better hardware

[iron hatch]

Is it good?

or is it trash

my brother plans on buying on and he is 9 years old.

What do you recommend? As a console?

[pliant karma]

higher resolution screen

[granite tinsel]

the switch is a fine console although it has aged a little poorly hardware-wise; i doubt nintendo would release a "pro" or "new" revision that makes a clean break from the original, so if you want one now, then go right ahead

[granite tinsel]

you kidding me? thing already struggles with its 720p screen

[night heron]

i mean keep in mind the switch is on 2013 hardware

hopefully the next iteration of the switch is 1080p oled mobile and 4k docked

[granite tinsel]

i think the big thing is that nintendo are fucking gods at optimizing for their own hardware but it's a tough act for most others to follow

[iron hatch]

Does an iPad have better graphics than a Nintendo

[granite tinsel]

like, honestly the fact BOTW runs on the wii u, a console that functionally has 1GB of RAM, is insane

[night heron]

a brand new ipad is a lot more powerful than a switch

[granite tinsel]

yes, especially an M1 ipad; but it doesn't have the same games

[iron hatch]

LOL

[night heron]

i probably would have bought a switch if it originally launched with an oled screen

[granite tinsel]

the days of ipads being weak are long past

[night heron]

but now it's too late into the product lifecycle for me to care

[granite tinsel]

would you get a PCH-1000 or PCH-2000 vita?

[night heron]

nah i never cared about playstation

but the oled vita is cool

[vapid smelt]

with dolphin emulator they do

[granite tinsel]

i mean if you had to choose--the PCH-1000 is the OLED one, but the PCH-2000 has a microUSB port and better battery life

[granite tinsel]

okay but do you think this person who's asking would be able to figure that out

[iron hatch]

ngl Nintendo sucks so much

[night heron]

nah they dont

[granite tinsel]

at the end of the day it's about the games

[night heron]

nintendo has their market, it's just not enthusiast pc gamers

[iron hatch]

yeah

[night heron]

i loved my gamecube and wii

[granite tinsel]

and nintendo has games you can't play anywhere else without trying to defeat their locked-down ecosystem--which is pretty fuckin hard

[night heron]

and gameboy advanced

[iron hatch]

Graphics sucks bro, at one point, I connected my Nintendo to a 86inch TV, bro I had 30 fps locked and capped

[vapid smelt]

the wii was just a faster gamecube

[night heron]

that's pretty misleading

[granite tinsel]

"two gamecubes duct-taped together" is what one dev said before the console's launch

[night heron]

the hardware is similar but the functionality of the wii is a completely different league

[pliant karma]

why coopa said better hardware 🙂 we'll see where they go with it

[night heron]

just speaks to how overpowered the gamecube was

[granite tinsel]

nvidia's no longer really interested in mobile SoCs, are they?

[granite tinsel]

yeah it was surprising for me when i first learned the gamecube was actually only second to the xbox LOL

[night heron]

nintendo consoles used to be the top of the pack in power

[granite tinsel]

"that little purple lunchbox seriously outdoes a PS2?!"

[vapid smelt]

the switch is using a 7 yearold gpu

[pliant karma]

never know they might be brewing something up. Isn't it just an arm cpu?

[granite tinsel]

tbh the nintendo 64 on paper is more powerful but in practice the 64-bit CPU was running in 32-bit mode almost all the time

[night heron]

i wasnt a n64 kid

[granite tinsel]

i guess it is the most powerful 5th-gen console though

i doubt the saturn's clusterfuck of twinned CPUs and GPUs are that powerful even when used to their full potential

and the PS1 was no slouch but relatively weaker than both

the thing is that it was far easier to make full use of the PS1's hardware compared to the N64 and saturn's

also i was gonna say... i've kinda come to the realization that even after all this time, i love my wii u

[night heron]

when i got my wii u i assumed it was going to behave like the switch does

[granite tinsel]

from a bird's-eye perspective the wii u fucking sucked, rightfully so

[night heron]

i thought i could take the tablet with me places

still a cool console though

[granite tinsel]

but as someone who lived through its short life... it was actually one of the best console experiences i've ever had

[night heron]

most powerful console with analog video outputs

[granite tinsel]

basically three wiis duct-taped together

[wind wind]

What’s a good show to binge

[night heron]

that 70s show

avatar the last airbender

[wind wind]

Grown up people shows

[granite tinsel]

oh and my overall opinion of nintendo is...mixed

[night heron]

grown up people shows

both things i just listed are

[granite tinsel]

they're the apple of the console business; doing things completely different from the rest, giving them unique advantages and unique problems

[wind wind]

Like altered carbon, the expanse

Feels like I’m running out of shit to watch

Never watched breaking bad, but not interested

[night heron]

expand ur genre options then

[wind wind]

When does Rick and north come out

I like that show and solar opposites

[lucid echo]

I’m more excited for Rick and South

How are you One UI cam 🙂

[ocean narwhal]

Mr robot was pretty good

[austere rampart]

They should've named it the Nintendo 4DS, because it's best utilized like a Nintendo DS setup and ppl found the Wii brand to be toxic
