[glacial mesa]

its not even hard i never learned the american anthem was named star spangled banner until two days ago

[hollow knot]

i feel like every american “tradition” is forced onto the world

[ionic abyss]

so this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTS0ybQ3lCI&t=502s might inform me about what could happen by using 3 3200 sticks and 1 2666 stick

[glacial mesa]

that is especially true for my country of origin they want to try to be like america

[hollow knot]

Whats the worst that could happen

[hollow knot]

lots of countries do

[ionic abyss]

[polar fern]

105 farenheit on a M2 is nothing

[ionic abyss]

i may invest in ddr4 4000 next year

[austere narwhal]

the names news. Tech news. best intro yet

[still yacht]

nope celcius

[tired glade]

oh,my

[polar fern]

sounds like youre not putting the macbook on a solid flat surface

[upbeat ridge]

PSA: a laptop is not made to put on your lap

[tired glade]

wait, is it still cooled by back plate?

[wet wasp]

its made for a stove replacement

[polar fern]

its cooled by the bottom case, yes

[still yacht]

maybe macbook air could be a fan too.

[tired glade]

it was, but anymore

[wet wasp]

what is this supposed to mean

[tired glade]

Air is with fan or without?

[ionic abyss]

id ddr 4000 better than 3200

[polar fern]

originally laptops had thick plastic housings keeping the airflow away from the tender bits, but nowdays the airflow is under/side so you gotta ckeep it clear

[still yacht]

air conditioning

[upbeat ridge]

(For modern ones doing heavy loads)

[still yacht]

without

[wet wasp]

. . . ?

[tired glade]

what cpu?

[ionic abyss]

12700k

[tired glade]

better, but like 1%

[still yacht]

cooling part in computers

[still yacht]

there is a propeller inside

[wet wasp]

im pretty sure its called a fan

we aint running boats

[ionic abyss]

ok if i run 4 stick of ddr4 3200 does one stick not being rgb hurt

[wet wasp]

lol

[polar fern]

@still yacht complete sentences help people understand what you're trying to say. please give it an effort, as it is very challenging to figure out what you're saying otherwise

[wet wasp]

whar

[still yacht]

My English is not enough.

[tired glade]

it will be fine

[polar fern]

i understand, but please try so we can include you ❤️

[wet wasp]

just like 1 bucket of nutella is not enough on a summer evening, truly inspiring words

[polar fern]

nutella is just expensive septic sludge

[wet wasp]

maybe

[tired glade]

isn't Nutella 90% sugar?

[wet wasp]

ok now im in the mood for nuttela brb

or as we have it in greece, merenda

[polar fern]

1 tablespoon is like 200 calories

[wet wasp]

(way better than nutella)

[polar fern]

i'm sure what you have is far superior to the junk that is nutella

[tired glade]

15g with 200calories, that way too much to eat

if you not in middle of desert and nothing to eat

[ionic abyss]

oh fudgge

[polar fern]

nutella serving is 37 grams.... and one serving has 21 grams of sugar

so like

[wet wasp]

i love sugar

[ionic abyss]

i just accidentaly purchased saints row platinum

[wet wasp]

return it bro

[tired glade]

nope, never again

[wet wasp]

its so bad

[ionic abyss]

i didnt know id id put it in the cart yet

i want it but

[wet wasp]

you dont 😭

[ionic abyss]

i love the saints row series

[wet wasp]

[polar fern]

saints row sounds like some street opposite a monastery or something

[tired glade]

GTA clone that when all in with weirdness

but you can't play non remaster version anymore

[ionic abyss]

i was going to buy

but was buying a $1 game to get a 5% coupon

[wet wasp]

shit hit like a 2 on the moist meter

[ionic abyss]

lol could have saved $6

[tired glade]

just be careful with versions, some of them don't work because devs hadn't payed for DRM

[ionic abyss]

i am more upset over the small amount of cash

[wet wasp]

wdym small amount of cash

its like 60 bucks bro

[ionic abyss]

i could have saved a few bucks

ummm not the platinum

[wet wasp]

the plat is 100

[ionic abyss]

91

[upbeat ridge]

Nutella is the good stuff tho

(Greetings from Germany)

[wet wasp]

careful i almost got jumpscared on the crazy price change

[polar fern]

nah - has the deforestation oil

[tired glade]

everyone need that oil guy in their lives

[polar fern]

[wet wasp]

ok back to me can anybody buy me cod bo2 i found a key on G2A for like 20 smth bucks

tbh I cant think of any

[tropic wigeon]

is 4 bad?

[tired glade]

3 still the best

[wet wasp]

all of them are almost equally as bad there is no conversation to be made here

[ionic abyss]

why cant i reinstall epic

[tropic wigeon]

cool great ig i have another dead game in my library lol

[tired glade]

you are president of USA on first scene and you need to fight aliense with lasers

that just opening of 4

[ionic abyss]

because i just bought a $90 game so i cant install the launcher!!!!!!!!!

[tropic wigeon]

i thought it was supposed to be a game that didnt take itself seriously

[tired glade]

yes, it is

[ionic abyss]

who thought games would ever cost this much

[tropic wigeon]

any games like borderlands to recommend then? i like the silly guns

[ionic abyss]

yes yes

[tired glade]

we all know that like 15 years ago when first dlc released

[ionic abyss]

[polar fern]

i really want linus or whomever to put together a small form factor oem comparison

[ionic abyss]

epic selfupdate failed

[tired glade]

[tired glade]

gameplay was great

[ionic abyss]

now watch saints row be part oh humble choice next month

[tired glade]

[ionic abyss]

so i should play bugfest 2077 till saints row installs

ooops cyberpunk

[tired glade]

watch video

[ionic abyss]

saints row is not huge

40gb

[tired glade]

yea

[ionic abyss]

so 6 months for cleaning pc i thought it was yearly

[tired glade]

not very dusty climate?

[ionic abyss]

not realy but

[dusty rune]

clean it when you see dust forming up

[fluid ridge]

CSGO has 2% CPU utilization + Discord and a bunch of other background processes

that game is really really light

[tired glade]

that game is old

[dull granite]

dude duck off

[ionic abyss]

how can epic games launcher suck so badly at downloads

[dull granite]

because its epic games launcher

[tired glade]

it's same speed as steam

[ionic abyss]

no

epic is sitting idle

steam rarely does that

5 seconds nothing done!!!

[tired glade]

it does?

[ionic abyss]

yes

[molten drift]

Well. I hate that I can't gift the amd rewards titles they gave me with my graphics card purchase. I have no interest in all 3 of them lol.

[tired glade]

I guess, it's default option

ask mods if they want to make give away

[night heron]

me when i only charge my phone every other day

god bless the iphone 13 pro max

[tired glade]

isn't it avg?

[ionic abyss]

ok its downloading but their network reporting shows 0b/s

[arctic raft]

Its way better then steam on downloads. But the epic launcher its so dam slow compared to al the other ones.

[molten drift]

No like you have to input account credentials not a code like in the past

[tired glade]

Oh

[azure thunder]

On the road from Portland to Vancouver for the pop up! Stuck in traffic already

[molten drift]

Best of luck and drive safe don't discord and drive

[dusty rune]

any mods lurking?

[frail pecan]

They probably won't storm in shouting "yes" :P

[dusty rune]

they couuuuld

[frail pecan]

True true

[dusty rune]

[stuck wedge]

Hello!

[tired glade]

hey hey

[knotty isle]

So I have not followed the warranty thing can someone give a quick summary

[karmic flame]

people were mad cause there was not a warrenty..., now there is one.. people are now mad because there is one. . and the worlds on fire..

Summery complete

[dusty rune]

and the shirt incident

[karmic flame]

Yes yes lets not forget that LMG made a shirt.. and people got mad again. ..The end

[dusty rune]

also, i have a question, will i get in trouble for the caps lock deletions or are they just deleted and nothing more?

[knotty isle]

😊 thx guys

[ionic abyss]

i guess i wont notice since the other oem pcs didnt have memory settings

you just put in ddr3/ddr2 and had more ram

[karmic flame]

If its the bot yeeting it then no. we dont pay much attention to those..

[dusty rune]

got it

just wanted to verify i wont randomly get banned for caps lock

[karmic flame]

haha

[ionic abyss]

so we dont serve bots here

[vapid smelt]

Ive been a good boy the new bot has yet to send me a message

[karmic flame]

let me add your name to the filter real quick

[dusty rune]

my muscle memory to press caps lock..

[vapid smelt]

[ionic abyss]

beep boop

[forest sand]

Linus not impressed with the damage to his floor. Also the wall got painted? Argh, lol.

I think in terms of raw stupid, I pick up the vibe that he's saying that prank was the dumbest.

[dusty rune]

hes furious

[vapid smelt]

The video would probably cover the dmgs

[dusty rune]

yeahhh but cmooon

dont cause damage to another mans floor

[forest sand]

When I saw the handrail damage, me personally, that's when I was like oh ma gerd, Dennis fall over and the staircase is sad

[dusty rune]

the fact that he didnt care about dennis falling and only cared about the handrail damage

[blazing wave]

The revenue pays for the damage, but not salaries and overhead on top of the damage

[vapid smelt]

Yup

[dusty rune]

the revenue wont pay for the delay

[forest sand]

I'm sure he does care, it just wasn't a point of discussion relative to the message.
At the bare minimum, even if someone were complete evil, you don't want your employees being injured because it's not ideal.

[dusty rune]

true true

[azure thunder]

I am in shotgun 🫡

I roped my Dad into coming with me and making a weekend out of it!

How's everyone doing?

[dusty rune]

what about you?

[azure thunder]

Doing fab! Just playing Pokemon arcues rn on the road

Super hyped for the pop up ykyk

[dusty rune]

mine is starting to have lower battery life i think but its fine

[ionic abyss]

there are 6 sharknado movies??????????

[glacial basin]

forgot dooley left, new warship's going to be interesting

maybe we'll see all the regulars or at least most come back

[azure thunder]

Soon to be 7 (probably)

[azure thunder]

Oof that's rough, I guess its the universe telling you to get a OLED

[dusty rune]

i cant afford

i cant convince my dad to get me one either

[ionic abyss]

lol

sharknado should realy never have seen a sqeual much less 5 sequals

[cedar jackal]

howdy

[teal aspen]

Howdy there! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

[forest sand]

this nugget conquered the chat

[ionic abyss]

umm

good movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u6wNqwf4uk

run away form the sharknadoi

[pine haven]

I found something cool

[ionic abyss]

22gb of 40.7

[pine haven]

It is a board your mother joke

[agile lake]

Do you think any of the LTT staff play runescape? i feel like everyone in their age bracket has probably played it once lmao.

[vapid smelt]

Some for sure do

[wanton veldt]

Does anyone know if they accept card payments for tomorrow’s pop-up shop? Or does it all have to be cash?

[manic torrent]

There's a lot of age bracket across the staff

[agile lake]

the current game player base seems to be 20-27 lol

or older

[stark sluice]

A packet sniffer will allow me to see what servers a device is connecting to to receive updates right?

[gilded obsidian]

Wan~

[tardy wolf]

Whos watching wan

[ionic abyss]

no im watching sharknado 2

[keen charm]

I am

[tardy wolf]

Nice one

I absolutely agree with the internet issue

[keen charm]

Here in Norway the ISP's don't call anymore. Even when they drop the price, you as a customer don't get it until you call them and complain.

[ionic abyss]

prime gaming giving away starcraft remastered

[digital crest]

cool

[manic torrent]

oh I'll grab that

[worn hill]

has anyone realized that the notifications aren't working.

[manic torrent]

orly

[worn hill]

yes

ltt relised a video about roasting ads on crigslist but it didnt come in discord

[ionic abyss]

should i go with 32gb of ddr4 4000 or 64gb of ddr4 3200 at tax time

[stark sluice]

32 unless you do work that requires so much ram

[white pilot]

(He plays minecraft.)

[digital crest]

both, for 96

[ionic abyss]

would mixing a 2666 stick of ram with a xmp profile of 3733 with 3 sticks of 3200 with xmp of 3733 work

[unique roost]

Maybe

[ionic abyss]

or would it default to 2666

[digital crest]

i think it would be a timing issue

[unique roost]

If the 2666 RAM runs stable at 3733 at the same timings then yes

It'll run at 3733

[ionic abyss]

id actualy befine with 3200 on all sticks

[unique roost]

But I'm not sure it will

Make sure the timing are the same

Actually not sure if you can have different timings on different channels

[ionic abyss]

well hyperx says it comes with a 3733 xmp profile

it may or may not work

[unique roost]

You can always try

You're not gonna break anything

[ionic abyss]

worst comes to worse i got to buy the exact model this came with or a new kit

nah ill look into ddr4 5333 ram 32gb of it

[unique roost]

Also what's the whole warranty fiasco that's been blowing up in some communities

[unique roost]

Why do you need that much bandwidth

[ionic abyss]

why ask why

i vote why not go for it

[unique roost]

Because it sounds like wasted money but suit yourself

Imo get a 3090 before you start wasting money on RAM lol

[ionic abyss]

i have a 3080 a 3090 would be more of a waste

[full fossil]

ram is good
more chrome tabs

[ionic abyss]

wow

5333 is pricey stuff

[unique roost]

You don't need 5333mts for more chrome tabs

Exactly

[full fossil]

just use firefox like a normal person lmao

[ionic abyss]

i do use firefox

[unique roost]

Both a 3090 and 5333 RAM are wastes but I'd say a 3090 is less of a waste because the performance improvement would be larger

[full fossil]

ok good

[ionic abyss]

for most stuff

sometimes chrome is good

i like opera gx

[full fossil]

but the 3090 has extreme graphics ray tracing

[unique roost]

Chrome is good for tab syncing and YouTube is better on it

[unique roost]

What's your point

[full fossil]

extreme rtx

[unique roost]

Yeah?

[full fossil]

also gpu mining

[unique roost]

Yes?

[manic torrent]

Ok bub. Sit down, you're getting a bit excited.

[full fossil]

i am a bit stupid

[ionic abyss]

why does teams start up

i need to refine my start load up

what does teams even do

[full fossil]

close it

[unique roost]

It's Microsoft's communication app

Actually pretty decent

Better than zoom, and on par with Google meet

[full fossil]

google meet is good

has good security

[manic torrent]

Loooooooool

[unique roost]

Hit me with your opinion

[full fossil]

why is google meet now called meet(original) and green

[unique roost]

What do you like?

[manic torrent]

it's not a matter of opinion or like - teams is a resource hogging piece of garbage.

[unique roost]

Because promotions at Google encourage flashy name and branding changes over fixing problems

[full fossil]

just like any corpo

[manic torrent]

Personal teams may be different mind - I have only used it for work.

but if you have a mid tier laptop, you either get to do a teams conference OR do something. Doing both will make you very sad.

[unique roost]

Eh still better than zoom. I haven't found it to be too unwieldy but maybe because I havent used it beyond one on one interviews

[full fossil]

goologol vs michaelsoft
who steals more data

[unique roost]

Google

[manic torrent]

it absolutely is not. zoom is much better.

[unique roost]

But they don't steal it you give it to them willingly by using free products

[unique roost]

Lol zoom is spyware

[manic torrent]

everything is spyware, you don't know what you're talking about

[full fossil]

its not piracy if i can use the program unlicensed

[unique roost]

And a hacked POS that hooks into random things to do what it needs

[manic torrent]

.... that's how software works

[unique roost]

Maybe in windows

But it shouldn't need admin to do it

[manic torrent]

It shouldn't - perhaps the windows permission system needs to be more nuanced ala android.

[full fossil]

real ones still use windows 98

[unique roost]

They've been moving towards that end

[rancid cedar]

Windows does have a nuanced permission system but only for Store apps

[manic torrent]

I know.

[unique roost]

But like discord doesn't need admin other to install

Neither does teams afaik

[manic torrent]

discord also isn't zoom.

[unique roost]

What features does zoom have that discord doesn't

[full fossil]

cos its better

[manic torrent]

I cbf checking, but it's a very different design goal.

[rancid cedar]

Also, I have Zoom and Teams running on my work system here. Zoom is using 42 MB while idle.... Teams is 450 MB. Teams is doing lots more because it's connected with Sharepoint, etc., but it's still literally an order of magnitude more memory

[manic torrent]

exactly.

don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be using zoom for state secrets. But for most purposes it's fine.

[rancid cedar]

Discord is also using 450 MB of memory

..... and so is Slack. Huh.

[unique roost]

Prob cuz they both run on some runtime

[manic torrent]

A VPN with web based self hosted video conferencing is far more secure than any third party option

[rugged bridge]

i hate teams

[unique roost]

And they bring the whole load of cruft

[manic torrent]

everyone hates teams. Except @unique roost

[rancid cedar]

Teams decided to 2x its memory usage while I wrote that

[rugged bridge]

its like spyware for the company/place you work for or use it for

[unique roost]

I mean I prob don't hate it because I don't use it daily

I use Google meets daily and before that it was slack

[manic torrent]

google meet and slack are both fine/good

[rancid cedar]

Slack used to chomp more memory, it's gotten better

[manic torrent]

I mean, in the last 3 years teams has at least gone from sucking horribly and being a resource hog, to sucking a lot less and being a resource hog

[rancid cedar]

As for things Zoom has that Discord doesn't.... here's an easy one: a calendar

[rugged bridge]

discord has a calender in some servers

[rancid cedar]

From the main screen I can see what meetings I have today

It also has Zoom Rooms. All 500+ meeting rooms at my company are hooked into Zoom with a full conferencing system

I can call any of those rooms from my desk to join whatever meeting is happening there, and vice versa

[unique roost]

That's a server side feature not really client side

But calendars yes

[rancid cedar]

Uhhh, it's literally physical equipment

[unique roost]

Each individual conference room is just a single zoom instance with the hardware to run it no?

[manic torrent]

it's still about platform though - discord isn't a corporate communications platform and doesn't have the required features and integration

"omg but you could do it" - doesn't matter. There's a huge huge huge different between first party supported options and "you could do it"

[unique roost]

Yeah but my larger point is it's a communication platform that does audio, video, and chat, and maybe a few more fancy things

It's poorly designed if it needs admin rights to do them

[manic torrent]

yeah - and this shows you've never done a project of any kind that requires actual integration

[unique roost]

Lol excuse you

I work on firmware

Can you even comprehend how much integration is required to develop hardware and firmware

[manic torrent]

No, I can't, I have a little brain.

I've never written any code, or integrated any hardware

[unique roost]

I'm glad you can understand that at least

[manic torrent]

Also - what I meant by integration and what you meant are clearly two very different things.

[rancid cedar]

Logitech sells a whole range of Zoom Room hardware. Here's one of the setups you'll see at offices

[violet hazel]

How

[rancid cedar]

So yes, there's a dedicated console on the desk, you can have multiple monitors (for splitting up all the call participatings, or showing a shared screen on one with people on the other), and you can hook up multiple microphones

This is the kind of integration HardwareBob is talking about. It's a whole industry

[manic torrent]

all I know is set SCE to AUX, eat hot chip, twerk, and lie.

[rancid cedar]

Discord is great and all but people don't build stuff on this scale for it.

[ionic abyss]

40 of 40.7 gb downloade

[rancid cedar]

Also I've been on a Zoom conference call with 7,500 people. Isn't Discord's limit, like, 25?

Hopefully you're getting the point, @unique roost

[unique roost]

Yes and I agree with the point you're making. My original opinion is zoom is poorly designed because it requires admin rights when similar software does not

And because that can potentially introduce security vulnerabilities, it is a worse choice

[manic torrent]

That wasn't what you said. You said teams was good.

[unique roost]

With my experience of it yes, I didn't hate it

But I haven't used it much

[manic torrent]

You also said that zoom was spyware and a hacked POS

[unique roost]

What you've described sounds pretty bad

Yes and I've already justified myself for that

With kinder words

[manic torrent]

My point really is - you have (or at least had) very strong opinions vs your experience/expertise

So maybe chill out.

[unique roost]

Lol I don't think you can say you're better considering you admit you haven't written any code before or even know how to

As a low level software engineer I think I'm qualified to pass judgement on zoom's software design regardless of whether it's a better user experience or not

[manic torrent]

.... Dude. I was being sarcastic.

I've been coding for 20 years

[lucid echo]

[unique roost]

Good for you

Lol then you should know

[manic torrent]

All software is shit. All code is shit.

[unique roost]

Not far from the truth

[manic torrent]

Some is genuinely terrible, of course

[unique roost]

We're arguing different things. I don't disagree with you that zoom might be more pleasant to use

[median idol]

@lucid echo oh just want to ask; with VMs what GPU(s) do you have for passthrough?

[lucid echo]

BTW, it may have changed since you last used Zoom, but granting admin access is no longer necessary

[unique roost]

Good they fixed that aspect then

I used it only for a year or two when the pandemic started

[unique roost]

Shouldn't matter anymore should it? Nvidia got rid of the VM detection thing in their drivers iirc

[lucid echo]

I had a leftover 1080 that I used for it, and also to offload CUDA work while gaming on the 3080
But yeah, doesn't really matter. There was a period where I used a 1030

I just hate KVM passthrough with every bone in my body

[median idol]

Ah nice I was going to go with a Radeon for Linux for the host, and have the Nvidia card for the Windows VM. Though nice to see Nvidia not being hardasses about VM detection

[unique roost]

What other options are there?

[deep remnant]

what is gaming on linux like anyways?

[little hound]

how do u calculate fps per dollar

[unique roost]

Isn't KVM the most straightforward out of the other hypervisors?

[little hound]

i forgot

[lucid echo]

Ah I meant single-gpu passthrough

[unique roost]

Wait how'd you do that. Please enlighten me because I have an ITX rig with an amd chip

[lucid echo]

Honestly I truly don't understand the hate with Nvidia & Linux... In all my years of laptop & desktop green gpus, nothing has ever gone wrong for me. Aside from the shitty GUI and closed-source drivers (which honestly personally idgaf, as long as they work) I have had zero issues

[unique roost]

And I want to do the same

[unique roost]

People just don't want to go through the painful work of setting it up but then look for something to blame

[lucid echo]

There's a few guides online. You gotta be a wizard with your VM software as the bugs are a pain to resolve, but essentially there are scripts for disconnecting the GPU from the host and exposing it to the VM on-the-fly

[lucid echo]

Even for just regular ol' non-VM linux. It's just, fine. Never had a hiccup

[unique roost]

Does it leave your session running in the background on the host though? I've heard it's basically like logging out or shutting down the host

[lucid echo]

It leaves it running, IIRC it essentially becomes headless

You can switch back and forth, not alt-tab but shutting down the windows instance will return you to linux

This is the guide that got me the farthest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTX10QlFJ6c

[unique roost]

Noooo I hate YouTube guides

[lucid echo]

I like that one because the entire guide is also in the description, with timestamps

[unique roost]

Ok nice maybe I'll give it a shot later this year when I build

[median idol]

Gaming for me personally has been a positive experience so far especially with proton enabled on steam (though it's not perfect but it has come along way since then) and with the steam deck coming available for those who've ordered, it looks like it's slowly but surely becoming a decent alternative.

[unique roost]

Thanks for the link

[lucid echo]

You can check compatibility for your games on https://www.protondb.com/
Overall, it's flawless. Very few games (at least the ones I play) are incompatible. Proton is a miracle

[unique roost]

Valve hires competent engineers and pays them well

They're doing magic

Honestly I dream of the day Microsoft announces they're moving to the Linux kernel and windows is just the shell and apis on top

Never gonna happen but I can dream

[edgy moss]

I am impressed with my 6750xt

[muted coral]

We can all dream 🥹

[edgy moss]

a good uplift in performance while drawing way less power than my 5700xt

[vapid smelt]

according to Radeons software my 5700xt pulls 180-205 watts

[edgy moss]

my card was a higher end oc version

I just have a reference 6750xt

it looks real nice though

[vapid smelt]

mine is as well the rx 5700xt sapphire nitro+ it hits 2025mhz

[edgy moss]

wow

I pushed up to 2200mhz on my red devil

[median idol]

Man those RX 6X50XT reference cards look

Love the stealth look

[edgy moss]

beautiful design fr

i chose this one over the 6700xt because it looked cooler lol

[vapid smelt]

how much did you pay for it

[edgy moss]

450 before tax

[vapid smelt]

o nice only 50ish more then a 6700xt

[edgy moss]

yep

brand new too

[polar pine]

Hey Discord Beta / Canary users. You may want to swap to stable. Reports are coming in that unintentional API spam from those builds is automatically disabling accounts

[edgy moss]

yeah i heard of this

[rugged bridge]

uh oh

[median idol]

Not too shabby. I remember at one point the 6700XT's prices were in the same ballpark as the 3080s at one point (at least what my local Micro Center was charging them for at the time ) good to see prices come back to normal somewhat

[manic torrent]

Didn't you say you did firmware? Surely you can see how this isn't possible

[edgy moss]

yeah it been a great buy so far

im going to try it with vr later

im currently charging my headset

[unique roost]

Lol I don't want to hear that from you

Please educate me and explain why it's not possible

[manic torrent]

Obviously it is possible, I was being hyperbolic, but it's not realistic or useful

[edgy moss]

improbable?

[unique roost]

Clearly I recognize it's not very realistic but usefulness is very subjective

[lucid echo]

[unique roost]

If you're here just to challenge people by questioning their competence and then shrink away under the guise of sarcasm when contested then honestly to me that kinda just makes you a dick

[little hound]

guys is it worth getting the 12600KF if ur not gonna overlock it

[vapid smelt]

get a 12700f

[manic torrent]

It's potentially possible, but it cannot happen, because resources are finite

[little hound]

i was sliding between the cpu i mentioned and 12400F

i did the cost per fps

[unique roost]

And clearly me calling it a dream makes it obvious I understand that

[little hound]

it’s cheaper on the 12600KF

[manic torrent]

But why? To what end? How would that be better? The issue with windows really isn't the kernel.

[little hound]

on the 12600KF it was 0.69 and on the 12400F it was like 0.73 per frame

[vapid smelt]

wait the 12600kf is only 220

[little hound]

yes

[manic torrent]

The issue is, and always will be, device drivers.

[unique roost]

That metric is probably noisier than just spending less money overall. Would you notice the difference anyway?

[little hound]

ikr it’s not bad compared to the non F

[little hound]

i have the benchmarks

[unique roost]

It'd satisfy my dream

[lucid echo]

If you give off an argumentative/debatelord vibe by 'contesting' people's random takes, people are more likely to behave this way towards you.

[unique roost]

Don't have to shift to personal attacks to contest an opinion

[little hound]

#tech-chat-1

[lucid echo]

Personal attacks?

[unique roost]

Calling someone incompetent without any basis

[vapid smelt]

about a 9.2% difference for $43

[little hound]

would u say it’s worth it

[manic torrent]

That's not what I said - I also was very clear about the basis.

[lucid echo]

No one called you incompetent, and this is a discord chat, not debate club

[vapid smelt]

i would say so you also get 4 E cores with a the 12600kf so 10 total

[little hound]

i don’t overclock it tho, is it still fine?

[vapid smelt]

yeah

[unique roost]

Lol hardware Bob has done that multiple times now when I express my opinion which is why I'm not liking him much

The world will continue even if not all slights/inaccuracies get corrected

[manic torrent]

If you weren't wrong so much it wouldn't need to happen

[unique roost]

Yes I agree

[manic torrent]

I mean look, you seem to be clever enough to understand stuff, but not experienced enough to have wider context. Your takes are often simplistic without an understanding of people and nuance.

I would be lying if I said I was never like that

[vapid smelt]

if you wanted to you could buy a decent ddr4 z690 mbo for $139

oh wow

[unique roost]

Poor on call guys getting called back to work

[unique roost]

You should be getting paid more to write code man

Especially with 20 yoe

[vapid smelt]

wait techinly it would be about $90 difference since you'll need a cooler for a 12600kf

[little hound]

yea

[manic torrent]

Medicare in Australia is for all - I get paid 182k :p

i wanted to use a Kraken on it

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9T92FT/deepcool-ak620-6899-cfm-cpu-cooler-r-ak620-bknnmt-g the best aircooler on the market currently that i know of beats the nocuta nhd15

[unique roost]

Haha I believe it

[manic torrent]

We pay $500/mo in private health because we can afford it

[sharp leaf]

Anyone want to game this weekend? What are you guys playing

[forest sand]

Google Earth museum explorer

[vapid smelt]

this isnt Linus server its jakes

[manic torrent]

I played an hour or so of death stranding, didn't really get into it.

[unique roost]

What bonuses do you get with private healthcare?

[vapid smelt]

do you still need to pay for medication?

[manic torrent]

It's mostly to do with surgery and wait times etc.

[manic torrent]

Lol yes

[weary sand]

oh cool

[unique roost]

500$ a month sounds like a lot for such small benefits

[solid shale]

Said hi here, dont know why its invis

[manic torrent]

... it is, but when I needed a colonoscopy I didn't have to wait and it was a few hundred out of pocket, not a few thousand

[sharp bobcat]

my first cooler is a deepcool ice edge mini v2 then I gave it to my friend as bday present only after a few months to replace his intel stock cooler for his i3 3220
second cooler is also a deepcool, gammaxx 400

seeing this makes me happy ngl

[vapid smelt]

idk as a American that sounds like a wicked deal

[manic torrent]

Insurance also covers glasses, CPAP masks, and a few other bits and bobs

[unique roost]

True if your employer doesn't have healthcare or something that's pretty ok

[forest sand]

can you get health insurance with a pre-existing medical condition and not be significantly penalised

[manic torrent]

Yes, that's all very different here.

[manic torrent]

Healthcare and employment here are not linked as such

[unique roost]

I pay nothing for mine, and the most I'd pay for the plans with medication and cheaper copays is 50$ a month

[unique roost]

I'm aware. I'm talking about America dude

[full fossil]

I just got back from a disabled account

[manic torrent]

My son has down syndrome and cerebral palsy, hypothyroidism, lymphopenia, fatigue, etc. We see a mix of public and private. Having money means we can demand more and see people quicker.

[vapid smelt]

@manic torrent so wait your basically paying for a Disney land fast pass but for insurance

[manic torrent]

Having private health insurance is also a signal to the provider, even if it doesn't apply. I mean, it sucks that it is that way, but that's how it is.

[unique roost]

That's a fair reason if the difference in wait time is more than a few days

[manic torrent]

Lol days. I am talking weeks/months/years

We are still on a long list for surgery, but that's just because covid screws up everything

[polar fern]

understatement of the decade

[manic torrent]

New research a month ago indicates even mild covid can cause brain damage, and cause strokes/heart issues months or years later. Hooray.

[polar fern]

i um

I'm mad at discord

[polar fern]

my memory? my internal thought construct? a shadow of what it was in 2019

saints row closes if u loose internet?????????

awful drm i was PLAYING THE GAME!

if i have to sit through all that bs cutscene bs

[forest sand]

GTAIV doesn't even play on Ryzen 3200G(igd=off) + modern GPU. I wonder when intel will start hitting invisible walls and having backwards compatibility that scales worse than their original counterpart (a decade earlier)

Well, it plays. There's numerous issues though. I think the CPU makes use of various shortcuts instead of doing things that are more homologous in nature.

[lucid echo]

Is this well documented, or just personal experience? I don't think x86 processors work that way

[manic torrent]

Uhhh yeah what on earth are you on about.

[unique roost]

That has more to do with the software stack than hardware

[hearty spear]

0
.0

[lucid echo]

There's nothing that unites nerds more than someone giving a provably false hot take

[unique roost]

What is it this time

[lucid echo]

Just the GTA x86 take that's all :P

[unique roost]

I mean if he's talking about out of order execution and branch prediction when he says shortcuts, he'd be correct

But that wouldn't break GTA IV

[unique roost]

It's just APIs GTA IV uses have been updated or deprecated and don't behave the same anymore.

Play in a VM running XP or windows 7 and I'm sure it'll work fine

I just picked up "homologous" because that's the technical term

Maybe academic

Hmm I misremembered the word, but it sounded familiar enough that I assumed he meant in order

I mean ooo execution and branch prediction are kind of shortcuts

[ionic abyss]

ok they messed up bad compared to saints row 3

[unique roost]

Yeah that's what I said

What are intrinsics

[wary summit]

is it possibly to render a game at higher res then scale down

[unique roost]

I'm familiar with simd but not anything in compiler land

[unique roost]

Yes but there's not that much benefit

You'll get frames that look a tiny bit better and spend a lot of electricity to do it

If you're doing it to take screenshots then yah go for it

[ionic abyss]

hmm

new episode of she hulk

[gilded quest]

Why do these Disney plus shows have like 7-minute long credit sequences

[unique roost]

Because that's how many people it took to make the show

[pulsar stump]

yo

anyone who works on 3d printers here

[finite cloud]

Don’t you?

[thorn bane]

had to skip through two minutes of intro to watch the most recent episode of shehulk. I guess it’s a bad show anyways but still annoying

[ionic abyss]

wtf is disney doing

the episode ended to quick

do they have that little content

[gilded quest]

That's what I'm saying

I get excited when I see the runtime is like 30 minutes, but disappointed when the actual content ends up only being like 2/3 of that

[thorn bane]

wdym ofc we need to see the entire cast of every single dub and the team behind every single sub, right before a 4 minute list of everyone who worked on the show, right before a 7 minute list of a few people who worked on the show

[thorn bane]

they managed to accomplish in 1 episode what most shows manage to do in a 5 minute segment

[forest sand]

Yeah, that is correct. But, I think the hardware's microcode software both in silicon registers, bios and chipset drivers have accounted for the platform's disadvantages and used software implementations of advanced methods that reduce some processing techniques down to a simpler form.

[ionic abyss]

grrrr

windows 11 news widget thing is driving me nuts

[forest sand]

spin computer clockwise and counter-dangling to remove all badware

[ionic abyss]

cant move my mouse to right of screen without activating it

and saints rows customization is lacking

[forest sand]

un-counter dangle to improve software quality of games

[unique roost]

You must've gone to business school

[forest sand]

Sure, what do you think?

[forest sand]

Silicon registers and bios are the two things that are not "software stack", as per your original message.
I'm not sure if that's what I meant by 'both', but that's easily what correlation I would make.

(At least not directly in the manner which we were discussing this far.)

[manic torrent]

https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/vsr#:~:text=Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is,more game graphics-setting control.

[unique roost]

BIOS is firmware and part of the software stack. Silicon registers are part of the x86 instruction set and don't change from processor to processor

[forest sand]

OPROM?

[unique roost]

Although BIOS is also a standard so it doesn't really change in anything but implementation also

[forest sand]

Microcode?

[unique roost]

Lol stop throwing buzzwords out like they're supposed to mean something

[forest sand]

they're terminology

[fluid ridge]

im pretty sure it looks sharper

[forest sand]

also I didn't expect you to be vitreolic. I'm good man.

[fluid ridge]

if you play higher resolution on a smaller display, it will look much sharper

[unique roost]

Yes but you could do the almost same with anti aliasing and other post processing

[fluid ridge]

yeah but you could have those on top too

extra sharpness

[unique roost]

No way to force 4k res on a 1080p screen

[fluid ridge]

how does youtube do it

[unique roost]

Suit yourself I'm just saying it's very far into diminishing returns territory

[forest sand]

Registers store values fyi. They change if they can be rewritten.

[unique roost]

Yes that's like saying English words are made of letters in the alphabet

But that's so far removed from whether GTA IV works

[forest sand]

GTAIV does work.

[unique roost]

Or having buggy behavior

Or breaking in small weird ways

[forest sand]

Sure. I'm going to assume that you are just assuming I'm disagreeing with you regardless of whatever I say.

[unique roost]

Guaranteed not a hardware issue unless:

• your PC is in a particle accelerator
• you're overclocking beyond stability
• you overvolted or overheated something and damaged it permanently

[forest sand]

I could get a new monitor I guess.

[fluid ridge]

sorry how does youtube display 4k and 8k on non 4k and 8k screens

[unique roost]

Maybe your RAM might be wearing out? Unlikely but you could try running memtest

[fluid ridge]

it sure is stressing my computer

[unique roost]

Scale down like superres does

[fluid ridge]

this is very rare

[unique roost]

Exactly

[forest sand]

Actually if ram signalling gets bad it can be fixed with software and voltage tuning.

[fluid ridge]

ram has almost infinite read/write due to the nature of how ram works

this is why most ram has a lifetime warranty

[unique roost]

Not always. ECC only gets you so far

[fluid ridge]

because it just doesn't fail

it's like your CPU

[forest sand]

No, ecc won't affect the voltage.

[unique roost]

Ofc not but if signal integrity is bad enough ECC won't help. Voltage wouldn't help either because I believe it should already be differential signaling

[forest sand]

The signalling is from the DRAM modules on the actual DIMM. Not the ECC. ECC requires detection and then Correction, but signalling errors can originate anywhere on the circuit theoretically.
The signalling control exists within the DRAM controller.

That's a hardware device but it has logic programmed by software.

[unique roost]

Your GPU or CPU is probably having trouble decoding the stream

[fluid ridge]

my CPU is at 100% haha

it can play 1 video at 8k fine

[unique roost]

4k has 4x the pixels as 1080p, and 8k has 16x 1080p

[fluid ridge]

30% cpu usage

open up another stream on firefox, 2 tabs of 8k my cpu dies

[unique roost]

Idk what point you're trying to make int so I'm just gonna stop responding

[unique roost]

Yeah it do be like that

[forest sand]

For example, there is a technique of memory training that involves undervolting and overvolting memory repeatedly, to bring it back into functioning order. At least, I think that's how it works.

[unique roost]

Somewhere in a data center a Google server serving YouTube is like "what's this idiot doing now"

[forest sand]

ECC has no relevance to hardware signal. The signal still fails. ECC is merely a detection and correction scheme.

[fluid ridge]

my laptop (11th gen i5) cant even play one of the videos

[forest sand]

I guess 10 engagement points to south north island

[fluid ridge]

my desktop (12600k) can at least play 1 no problems

[unique roost]

?? ECC is used to correct errors no matter where they occur. Whether it's the signal was noisy registered as the wrong bit or a bit flipped in memory

[unique roost]

This has nothing to do with signal integrity either

[forest sand]

Yes, but that's not solving the faulty hardware, that's adding and additional piece of hardware.
When you mentioned the ram wearing out, I just wanted to contribute to the discussion. Surely you remember bringing that up right?

[unique roost]

I'm sorry but I said you must've gone to business school because you clearly know terminology and what each means individually, but not how they work together or related to each other very well

It's possible but like impossibly unlikely

SSDs aren't mechanical but cells wear out as well

[forest sand]

Yeah but I understand what they meant. It does happen. A solder ball can become corroded or spalled, or the metal in the ball can actually become slightly radioactively possessed. There's a lot of things that can break up in memory and it's a common failure point. It does make sense.

[unique roost]

Yes, and that would more likely cause your operating system to crash rather than just GTA acting weird

Ok idk where this came from

[forest sand]

Satan hugs it for a while until he brushes his teeth

[unique roost]

Yeah they can flip bits in memory

I remember reading about some security researchers who had an exploit where they did some setup and then just waited for a cosmic ray to flip the right bit in memory

leaving your hacking up to the whims of the universe

Much more practical yes

[forest sand]

Everyone is dumb or has a business degree here

Call upon, like you just have them waiting at a moment's notice

[unique roost]

Hey psych majors at least do some good in the world by helping mentally ill people who can afford to see them

They make or curate beautiful art for people to enjoy

Don't blame them blame the system that allowed it or forced them to

The system likely run and destroyed by people with business degrees

Hmm idk about that one

I'm sure fine arts grads would at least care a little about it functioning like it's supposed to

If they were in charge

That's unfortunate then

Didn't realize an infamous WW2 ruler is a banned word here whoops

But I guess he's a good example of this

They must've been terrible if he could do three of them a day

[lucid echo]

Psych major (Cognitive Science: Psych + Philosophy) here. Bachelor of Arts. I write code now, but I’m so grateful I got a non-CompSci degree. I use the philosophy/psych side of my education WAY more than anything I learned in the comp/AI classes, on a daily basis.

[red breach]

it doesn't matter if you went to harvard or clown college, I can assure of you one thing

you're all idiots

[forest sand]

That seems to be the opinion here

I don't know what it means yet

[dapper lintel]

how do u do a psych major then do coding

[lucid echo]

If I learned anything from psychology and philosophy, it’s this. CompSci doesn’t teach you that

[red breach]

python teaches you that lol

[lucid echo]

YouTube + Making the right friends. A couple of my coworkers are theatre majors, now they write the backend for software you’ve more than likely used this week.

[dapper lintel]

that still doesnt make sense to me lol

why do theater majors then learn software

[lucid echo]

Because interests change

[dapper lintel]

thats crazy

[lucid echo]

I went to college for music production originally, then switched thrice

Explain

[dapper lintel]

it sounds more like coding pays way more than theater majors

[lucid echo]

That too

My point is, your degree is not as deterministic as people make it out be, and “arts” degrees have a lot of value that stemlords look right past

[forest sand]

Such diverse infrastructure is this server's opining vigil.

[dapper lintel]

but u still had to learn coding anyways and that determined your pay

[lucid echo]

Sure, but I taught myself that afterwards for the most part.

Tell that to the comp sci majors whose jobs I stole
A degree like that leaves some MAJOR blind spots in how to function as a human being

[lucid echo]

I was specifically told by my boss that I interviewed better than a set of compSci majors from the nearby tech Uni

[dapper lintel]

i can see it helping in terms of managing ppl role

[manic torrent]

Yeah because tech people who don't understand the real world are insufferable

[lucid echo]

Hard skills are only half the game

CompSci is not the shortcut you think it is

I’ve talked to several managers and recruiters and they say it’s a coin flip of whether they’re any better than someone with another degree

[upbeat ridge]

I understand the real world: “it’s shit”

[dapper lintel]

only if u alllow it to be shit

[wary summit]

I forkbombed myself

cs100 made me realise I am an imbecile

[lucid echo]

meet other people
Something that compSci majors are infamously great at doing

I have my current job because of networking, I hosted a party where I met the dude who would end up referring me. Psych & Phil directly attributed to my ability to socialize like that.

[dapper lintel]

ah netwokring the hidden job market

[lucid echo]

Hell, the F500 that I work for is about to drop their college degree requirement altogether, likely will set a trend for other companies (they were also the first to implement permanent WFH as an option)

[dapper lintel]

what are tehy checking then experience and past projects?

[lucid echo]

I agree :)

[lucid echo]

Yep. They found zero correlation between college education and job performance, and that it also discriminates against people who can’t afford college/don’t want the debt

[dapper lintel]

damn zero thats pretty surprising

[lucid echo]

College doesn’t necessarily make you a good learner

I think only the lawyer positions will retain a college requirement

Which makes sense

[dapper lintel]

ya college tho should at very least make you manage your time but ya learning is natural talent

[lucid echo]

It’s not useless

[azure falcon]

God my nights been great

[median idol]

I wouldn't mind going to college fully if it wasn't so damned expensive. But with all the classes you take alongside it that has little to nothing with the related field you're going to... IDK it just doesn't make sense IMO

[lucid echo]

Clickbait. Nothing new. They just indicated in that book that it’s multi-generational hardware, which we already knew

[median idol]

Tis true... Tis true

[dapper lintel]

next steam deck wil be RDNA 3 I imagine should be ineresting

[lucid echo]

I would not be surprised if it’s not out until RDNA 4 is a thing. Last time Gabe talked about it, it seemed very far away

[dapper lintel]

ya i was thinking that it could be 4 too

3 is already coming out this year

[lucid echo]

They could easily take the Switch route, that thing is still selling like hot cakes despite no hardware change

[dapper lintel]

so timing does seem to go to 4 if they wait a few years for next

[lucid echo]

But there’s a specific architecture reason for that, very unlikely with RDNA generations

[dapper lintel]

swtich is nintendo branding they can get away with it i dont know how they them so loyal tho

i used to be a big fan but i despise them now

my steam deck will be swtich

[lucid echo]

My coworker used to work for nvidia - the very short TLDR is that any hardware change to the switch would completely divide the game library - unless nvidia spent a lot of resources to help design another custom silicon, Switch 2 could not be backwards-compatible

[dapper lintel]

ah I see

and ppl are loyal to that damn libary

breath of the wild almost brought me back

lol

[lucid echo]

Runs great on the deck

[dapper lintel]

but pc so much more variety of games, yes thats my plan lol

[red breach]

you have a steam deck? 😄

[lucid echo]

Yes, but that API is specifically tied to Tegra and unique to the Switch, every chip after that is incompatible with it.

I don’t wanna get into it, it’s too complicated for this late into the night :P

[dapper lintel]

im just glad for elden ring love that game top 3 game all time for me

[lucid echo]

Yeah, it’s fucking great

[upbeat ridge]

Th Netherlands also wants to do that unfortunately

[wary summit]

is it normal for a phones cpu to hit 50 idling

[dapper lintel]

i will get steamdeck eventually i just wonder how soon orders come for canada

[upbeat ridge]

(While they promised to never do that, to never make it count against mortgages and to never register it at the bureau for credit registrations)

[lucid echo]

Yep, and emulation is pretty resource intensive, even for the switch, and Nintendo isn’t known for releasing powerful hardware

[upbeat ridge]

Hu

[lucid echo]

Even if they wanted to, Nintendo’s in between a rock and a hard place for Switch 2/Pro

[red breach]

ever consider purchasing a deck dock or stand like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/334344622431

[upbeat ridge]

Oh you mean the ones that mainly export food anyway?

[red breach]

cough cough shameless plug/solicitation of feedback

[upbeat ridge]

(Nah I understand where they’re coming from, but this isn’t a new problem, it has been going on since the 70’s)

And they didn’t do anything about it then so now there has been a court case saying that they now must

[lucid echo]

I have a 3D printer so I’d probably just make it :P however I haven’t really used it in that setup yet

[dapper lintel]

oo

[red breach]

hmu if you want the STL lol

[lucid echo]

Sure! Is there enough clearance to add some thin rubber padding?

[red breach]

good idea! might work if you scale it to 101, 102, 103% scale. Might throw off the little cylinders inside

[flat onyx]

😈

[upbeat ridge]

They don’t want to remove farmers you know that, they need to reduce their emissions made by livestock

[red breach]

currently have those set for 6 US pennies, adds a quick 15g of mass right at the bottom

[upbeat ridge]

Ew cheese

Hīll

I’m in a rail replacement bus

And it’s not the Netherlands

Actually it is a semi cross border rail replacement bus

Semi because it goes to Basel Bad Bf which is German ground but it is also in Switzerland

[lucid echo]

You throwing pennies in there mid-print?

[red breach]

exactly! little bit of CA glue, mid print pause, seamless weight

[lucid echo]

Damn that’s galaxy brain

I printed a phone mount I barely use cuz it wobbles so much

[upbeat ridge]

Lmao nice

I’m in a bus to Basel Bad Bf, it’s very bad.

Hi sanic

[devout coral]

Can someone help me with a floatplane sub I try via my card but it wont work. Always tells some kind of error happens

[austere hemlock]

Looks like my neighbor is without a house now 😶

Asus Z690 hero motherboard

[stray arch]

he must have tried overclocking a 12900k with a budget aircooler

[tired glade]

can 12900k even sustain load temps under control with budget cooler?

[echo ridge]

No

Not even a nh-d15

[echo ridge]

Ks

[tired glade]

13900k will be fun to watch, while people defending it like best gaming cpu out there

[stray arch]

will a cooler even work on a 13900k?

[echo ridge]

I mean It might be

[echo ridge]

Ln2 only

[tired glade]

what can do 350-400?

[red breach]

gonna need linus and luke to rig up an AC

[echo ridge]

Nah ln2 only

[tired glade]

threadripper class coolers?

[stray arch]

thats not a good idea but ok

[echo ridge]

It's past that

[stray arch]

liquid nitrogen probably

[red breach]

since when are we into good ideas around here

[tired glade]

6.1Ghz cpu, btw

[echo ridge]

Fx series be like

[stray arch]

rumours say they will run rlly hot so imma guess a laptop containing even the 13700u may thermal throttle

[tired glade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KnIHefSmFE& there is this

5.2 all core load, yea, can be

[stray arch]

intel cpus are good, just not their igpu

[tired glade]

they not bad, just AMD will slap with like 5800x3d in future

[echo ridge]

Hot

[glacial basin]

https://cultists.network/8619/aio-buying-guide-august-2022/

[stray arch]

bro, the UHD 730 runs at half the performance of a vega 7

[tired glade]

half, that generous for it

[glacial basin]

surprisingly the LS320, a 120mm liquid cooler can cool a toasty boi

[red breach]

upsides - $300, 1080p IPS, 8GB RAM, 256GB NVME, 3.75lb weight, 15.6"LCD , ryzen . Downsides - dual core, 1x1 AC wifi, HP?

[stray arch]

something like that but still

[wary summit]

very generous

[simple berry]

how

[wary summit]

I prefer AMD over Intel, idk why but all my past Intel machines were shit

[wary summit]

idk but I'm asking

[stray arch]

because intel CPUs really do belong in the trash

[tired glade]

if you want i3 system there isn't r3

[simple berry]

Google play services isn't even in my battery consumer list

[wary summit]

there wasn't much improvement but the socets change Evey 2 shit cpus

[wary summit]

???

there is R3, 3200G my first amd rig

[tired glade]

that zen2 cpu,right?

[stray arch]

basically he means there is no ryzen 3 in newer gen CPUs

[wary summit]

ooh my fucking god were those graphics so much better than Intel UHD shit

[simple berry]

I kinda do too intel feels a bit meh

[stray arch]

there were no ryzen 3 5000 series CPUs

[glacial basin]

there is also a Ryzen 3 5300G

for oems though

[wary summit]

and like 5350GE

[tired glade]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-3-5300g oh,yea, there is

[stray arch]

yeah that explains it

[wary summit]

I think

[cerulean saffron]

If I use 2x 16GB Trident Z Neo in one RAM channel,
Then use 1x 8GB Trident Z RGB in the other RAM channel
Set them to the same timings and speed in BIOS (no XMP/DOCP since they're different - 3600 and 3200 MHz)
Will it work without random BSODs

[wary summit]

don't mix speeds

[simple berry]

most intel stuff feel ass

[tired glade]

"Cezanne" oh ,my

[glacial basin]

it will run, just at lowest speeds

[stray apex]

I mean, it'll probably work, but why

[wary summit]

I don't fucking care how expensive your ram is, don't mix speeds

[stray apex]

32gb RAM is plenty for most things
