[gilded quest]

28" 5120x3200 240Hz plz

[night heron]

gotta take into consideration the contrast, response time, display coating

[hoary furnace]

So the 4090 says it can do 12 bit 4k at 120 with dp 1.4 if you have dsc

So maybe they didn't need dp 2 yet

[tired glade]

Wait 1,4?

Nvidia, wtf

[quick prairie]

for the average gamer 1440p@144hz is enough

[hoary furnace]

1.4a yep

[tired glade]

Oh, ok

[hoary furnace]

The average gamer isn't looking at a 4090

[night heron]

it’s time for dp2.0, pascal had 1.4 in 2016

[tired glade]

Isn't AMD already switched?

[gilded quest]

4090 posters should become the new lambo posters for bedrooms

[night heron]

i believe radeon 7000 will use dp2.0

i didn’t see much of the keynote but i have to assume that rtx 4000 will as well

[hoary furnace]

Tbh I'm hoping radeon shows off well, I'd like to get off the nvidia gravy train

[night heron]

radeon 6000 was pretty great so hopefully 7000 is as well

[tired glade]

We will see in November

[slate agate]

at least they aren't pushing 8k gaming this time lol

[hoary furnace]

Ah well, the future wife will be happy, no new gpu coming

[tired glade]

Had 8k monitors arrived?

[hoary furnace]

Tvs

Might be some enterprise 8ks

[tired glade]

No, hadn't arrived

[night heron]

id rather have 4k 240hz than 8k60hz

[gilded quest]

8k on a monitor is so unnecessary

[hoary furnace]

Dell UltraSharp UP3218K

[night heron]

not really

[hoary furnace]

Only the price of two 4090s

[gilded quest]

what size would 8K be useful tho, 40"?

[hoary furnace]

I just want an ultra wide with 2160 vertical res and 120plus hz

[night heron]

8k would be useful at smaller sizes too

[tired glade]

Does it matter?

[gilded quest]

but what what scaling

[night heron]

scaling will have to improve

[gilded quest]

like do we want to go 3x? 4x?

[tired glade]

We are pc gaming, bigger is better

[gilded quest]

I just want pc monitors to move to retina first

[night heron]

yeah and for 32” that requires 6k

so asking for 8k isn’t so bizarre

[gilded quest]

i guess

32" is already kinda big

[hollow zealot]

I'm just ready for some company to point lasers into my eyes and get rid of monitors altogether

[night heron]

real

monitors are so cope

just beam the game right into my brain

[hoary furnace]

Who needs eyes anyway

[hollow zealot]

It's a real thing too

VRD
Virtual Retina Display

[fluid ridge]

they already exist

dell has had one out for a few years iirc

[tired glade]

Oh,it not pick up yet

What are those things called have the little hanging metal assemblies inside of a glass sphere?

The metal assembly bit rotates using radiative propulsion

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

What if we took the heat out of a PC and put it back into something similar to this but also stored the energy?

In short could we not use the waste heat from a computer as a way to charge a battery?

[hearty spear]

theoretically yes? But I don't think we have any tech that can turn a few hundred watts of air-based heat into something productive.

Holy crap

[polar fern]

The verge? Isn’t that the “tweezers” pc build site?

[bleak crow]

One guy did a bad pc build like 4 years ago

https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ

He literally did a video with Linus on it lol

[echo ridge]

When ltt video

[bleak crow]

Next year

[lucid echo]

Twitch needs to add a Spotify integration (or some other streaming service) where the music publisher gets a small piece of royalties from the stream's income, in exchange for allowing the streamer to play whatever copyrighted music they want.

They play music, Twitch knows what music it is & for how long it was played during the stream, and a portion of the income is passed along to the copyright holders.

[bleak crow]

Wrong server lol

That would be nice yeah

[lucid echo]

Make it opt-out for the music publishers if they don't want their music being played at all, then block it in the UI for the streamer

[zenith harness]

how can I get the floatplane tag if I'm subscribed?

[sonic barn]

just make ur own music

its actually not that hard

[bleak crow]

Link your discord account with your floatplane account

[bleak crow]

LolWut

[sonic barn]

you can create stuff with strings and simple 4 x 4

[bleak crow]

But like

That’s boring and people don’t want that for hours of stream

[sonic barn]

bruh

[serene stone]

yo guys, W11 update worth it now from W10?

[sonic barn]

then don't complain when you freeload off someone else's music and they strike you

I create stuff usually in 30 min then leave it and finish it a day later if I like it

[sonic barn]

win11 is so bad

[lucid echo]

Iheuzio never disappoints with his trash takes

[sonic barn]

I use kde neon and win11 just for games

[sonic barn]

https://soundcloud.com/iheuzio/fadingdespair

[serene stone]

how come?

[sonic barn]

that was only like 3 hrs of work and slowed it down, all made in free vsts

[serene stone]

W11 update came out today

[lucid echo]

Yeah, that sounds like you made it in 3 hours

[sonic barn]

7z is like 3 clicks instead of 1

random freezes

news uses like 10gb of memory sometimes

[lucid echo]

Believe it or not, viewers like hearing music with more effort and notability. And just because the existing copyright system prevents creators from utilizing popular music, doesn't mean it couldn't be improved to allow it with all parties being satisfied

[lucid echo]

You can fix the right click menus

[sonic barn]

did you ever create something

for music ofc

[serene stone]

even with new update that came today?

[sonic barn]

most people don't understand the industry and they steal off people constantly.

[lucid echo]

Yes, I literally went to university for music production. I was in several bands and worked at 5 different recording studios.

I love how a child is trying to lecture me about how the music industry works

[sonic barn]

bruh I'm 18

[lucid echo]

Exactly

[sonic barn]

not a kid

[lucid echo]

You are very much a kid, trust me

[median idol]

Ooo which bands? Asking out of curiosity

[lucid echo]

And you will be for many more years

[sonic barn]

are you a dinosaur

[lucid echo]

According to you, probably

[stoic beacon]

Jazzosaur

[bleak crow]

It’s not freeloading to listen to music Lmao

[bleak crow]

Imagine

[sonic barn]

using it in videos that have ads on

[lucid echo]

None of them got super famous. Revealing the names would doxx where I went to college, as they're all from that town.

[fiery delta]

So how’s going to get a small loan out for the 4080/90

[sonic barn]

when you have no license

[lucid echo]

That's the whole point of pushing for new systems that allow them to license it on the fly

[median idol]

Ah I see I was in the jazz band at my college.

[lucid echo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jwo5qc78QU

[sonic barn]

well its like a patent, each melody is protected by default, if someone steals it you can sue them

[lucid echo]

Copyright laws were designed for television shows that predate @sonic barn being alive. It's an outdated system that desperately needs to change.

[echo ridge]

See this is why I don't talk

[lucid echo]

LMAO

[stoic beacon]

What
No

[sonic barn]

how do they get money then

[echo ridge]

What?

[bleak crow]

New windows 11 update today is great, also

The Xbox controller bar is pretty cool

[lucid echo]

Once again Iheuzio confident on how they think the world works, but so far off it would take hours to explain

[bleak crow]

If you’re not on it yet I’d definitely switch

I would highly recommend moving to Windows 11 2022 Update for gaming PCs. Microsoft has made some great latency improvements for windowed DX10 and DX11 games + VRR / auto HDR support. There's even a new Xbox controller bar https://t.co/LXtPLzc8wO

Verizon is telling me if I trade in my iPhone 12 I can get a 14 pro max I can get it for less than $5 a month for 3 years. That doesn’t sound right, does it?

[bleak crow]

Do it

[cloud notch]

There’s gotta be strings attached

[stoic beacon]

Depends on how much they charge a month TOTAL. Focus on the out the door price.

[bleak crow]

^

[cloud notch]

Yeah true

[sonic barn]

disable game bar, eats at your cpu when gaming and you're better off recording in shadow play

[stoic beacon]

I had friends who swore they were getting free iphones all the time, and they were paying $210 a month

[echo ridge]

You being in a contract with them is worth more then the cost of the phone

[lucid echo]

Implying Geforce Experience is any better

[sonic barn]

has actual encoders built for it

[upbeat ridge]

i use it to join friends and have friends join me in sea of thieves tho

[lucid echo]

Some great telemetry too! So advanced!

[sonic barn]

you could stream off it

[lucid echo]

Yeah that's really nice. The UI is just more intuitive too. Nvidia's overlay needs a serious overhaul

[stoic beacon]

You can stream off of anything

[sonic barn]

yes but you get the features for their rtx cards

[lucid echo]

Can't wait for 5-7 years from now when iheuzio cringes at how opinionated they were about so many pointless things

[sonic barn]

so like no performance impact

[bleak crow]

Xbox controller bar is a different thing than game bar, you literally have no idea what you’re talking about

[sonic barn]

and you can activate stuff like noise cancelling audio from fans and keyboard

[lucid echo]

What's new

[sonic barn]

I am not a console peasant

[languid narwhal]

debt collectors?

[bleak crow]

It’s on PC

Lmao are you serious

[sonic barn]

yes but I don't use a controller for most games

only for rocket league when I played it

[lilac sage]

Use a gamepad

[echo ridge]

People playing racing games

And don't have a wheel

[lilac sage]

use a logitech joystick

[sonic barn]

star citizen player

[stoic beacon]

Xbox Game Bar is honestly kind of nice

So is GeForce Share

[echo ridge]

My fucking flight stick?

[stoic beacon]

Both for different reasons

[lilac sage]

Yes

[sonic barn]

randomly shoots up to 40% on my i7 9700k

[upbeat ridge]

i use steelseries moments anyway cuz that captures both discord audio and game audio instead of only one

[echo ridge]

Fuck that

[stoic beacon]

Something broken

[upbeat ridge]

(my Steelseries headset has chat and game audio)

[sonic barn]

its this service that runs in the background on refresh

I forget what its called but its for the screen capture

eats up your cpu

goes from less than 1% to 40%

and stays there

geforce experience stays below 1%

[dusty rune]

im switching over on my dead body

[lucid echo]

That's something I need for sure. Does it capture microphone audio too? Nvidia caps two audio channels - One for desktop, one for microphone (can't remember if discord audio is included in desktop audio).

[upbeat ridge]

yeah

DC audio is mostly run over desktop audio

[lucid echo]

That's called a bug, and not everyone experiences that

[upbeat ridge]

but i have it set to my chat audio, with the rest going over game audio

[sonic barn]

you can configure it to have it linked or separate audio files

[fossil frost]

people who dislike windows 11 are the same people who dislike when facebook/twitter/whoever make a minor ui change. drama queens who want attention

[upbeat ridge]

https://steelseries.com/gg/moments

doesnt work with some microsoft store apps tho

[sonic barn]

you can configure basically all the same stuff as obs

minus the windows

[lucid echo]

I'm not talking to you

[echo ridge]

I switched from the beta

[stoic beacon]

I'll have to look into that Steelseries one as well

[upbeat ridge]

i dislike windows 11 because they are so pushy about it

[sonic barn]

you are now

[stoic beacon]

The Nvidia one pisses me off because I lose a TON of audio because it auto switches to "Steam streaming microphone" all the time

[upbeat ridge]

oof

[median idol]

Same TBH

[upbeat ridge]

disable it in control panel

[fossil frost]

a company that wants you to use its latest product? wow... im shocked

[sonic barn]

that's prob an issue on startup

[lucid echo]

With some modifications it's quite nice. Feels like a slick gnome linux UI. I enjoy it (modded)

[upbeat ridge]

oh yeah i know, and at least we still get the choice

[sonic barn]

there's no fix for that rn

[upbeat ridge]

but with windows 10 being promised as "the last windows ever" and then it retiring in 2025 is uh

[echo ridge]

Can I have your mods

[upbeat ridge]

a thing

[lucid echo]

O&O ShutUp, and StartAllBack. I rant about them often here

[fossil frost]

i made some settings changes, and im fine with it, feels more comfortable to use than win10 too, and more.. joined together... only reason i stayed away from it initially is because i have a 5950x and a 6600xt... so, crashy town 🙂

[stoic beacon]

Wow, this Steelseries thing looks promising

It'll be nice to finally replace that Shadowplay crap

[lucid echo]

I got it in the first month and never had the issues with my 5950X, must have been lucky

[lucid echo]

Whatever reason I can have to avoid Geforce Experience, the better

[echo ridge]

I only used shutup

[upbeat ridge]

It is quite pleasant to use

[lucid echo]

StartAllBack is like $20 but very worth it IMO

[echo ridge]

Nope bye I'm out

[upbeat ridge]

Except in things like Minecraft (need to add the Javaw executable) and some Microsoft store apps (it doesn’t work because it doesn’t have permission to open the .exe)

[median idol]

Same experience here with my 5950X as well. Tried it out of curiosity and it was just fine from what I've experienced

[stoic beacon]

Has the nice UI of the Game Bar and the split audio options of GeForce

[tiny geode]

whats your guys opion on home depot

[stoic beacon]

It's better than Lowe's

[tiny geode]

and ikia

*ikea

[stoic beacon]

Ikea is awful

[south stone]

Guys.

[stoic beacon]

Oh wait, do you mean for prefabricated furniture?

[south stone]

I have LEAKS of the 5x00 nvidia series of cards!

[tiny geode]

its stolen from home depot

[south stone]

Can I share that here? lol

5090 - 32gb - $2500
5090 - 24gb - $2100
5090 - 16gb - $1800

Low End
5080 - 24gb - $1700
5080 - 12gb - $1400
5080 - 8gb - $1200

[tiny geode]

bro

your house is going to expolad

[stoic beacon]

I thought you were talking about hardware stores in general. If you're asking about the prefabricated cabinets and stuff, Home Depot and Ikea are both crap.

[sonic barn]

they aren't gonna release for another 2 yrs after 4000

[tiny geode]

its swedish ply its not strong engough

[tiny geode]

hertic

you must purged

[sonic barn]

they have a massive backlog of 3000 series

[upbeat ridge]

Imagine having anything other than ikea near you

(Cries in Netherlands)

[lucid echo]

Put in more effort next time

Low effort trolling is cringe

[stoic beacon]

I'm glad I don't have an Ikea within 6 hours of me personally...I'd much rather save up for custom, handmade stuff that'll last me until I die

[south stone]

Why? lol, The 4080 12gb is a 4070.

[upbeat ridge]

IKEA is within cycling distance for me, there isn’t anything else really that has a physical store nearby iirc

[marsh dragon]

The euro prices for these cards are insane

Holy smokes I didn't realise

4090 will be €1960

[south stone]

Perfect time to grab a mined 3080 for 300-400 bucks.

[upbeat ridge]

WHAT

Cable management is optional right

(Ft. The UPS stolen from ProRail, the Dutch rail infrastructure manager)

[south stone]

bruh

[marsh dragon]

4090: €1959
4080 16gig: €1469
4080 12gig: €1099

[upbeat ridge]

oh god

[stoic beacon]

@lucid echo Chiel wasn't kidding about this Steelseries thing. This is VERY clean. VERY snappy. Built in editing tools.

[upbeat ridge]

4050 for 900 euro at this rate

[upbeat ridge]

I mainly started using it cuz I had the software installed and running anyway for my RGB

But yeah, it’s def not terrible

[south stone]

As usual expect a 4070 10gb and 4070 8gb and 4060 16gb.

[marsh dragon]

I'd rather run intel hd graphics 4000 than pay those prices

[upbeat ridge]

Fr

[stoic beacon]

I don't own any steelseries peripherals anymore personally (except for my mousepad) but I'm digging this

[upbeat ridge]

My 1070 will last me some time, well unless my 1 cent gpu actually exists

[sonic barn]

intel's gpus suck for gaming

[marsh dragon]

3070 mobile is good enough for me

[upbeat ridge]

(From a reliable webshop lol)

[sonic barn]

you're better off getting a 1060 6gb from 2016 for gaming

[stoic beacon]

The auto clips are clever

[upbeat ridge]

But only some games

[upbeat ridge]

6700 XT for 1 cent lol

[median idol]

Pretty curious to see what team Red has cooking up. Nvidia this gen..... Ain't it chief

[sonic barn]

I only play csgo with rtx 2070s on low settings

144hz 1080p

[lucid echo]

Sweet, I'll check it out when I'm done working on my Hackintosh

[sonic barn]

[stoic beacon]

Ah, sounds like fun...one of the things I've never been brave enough to do myself

[upbeat ridge]

Although that order is still “being picked” since Thursday when they have next day delivery and still have stock

Hackintosh seems interesting yes

Bit sad I have a Nvidia gpu but hey

[sonic barn]

how are the amd driver updates

[upbeat ridge]

If I can get this for the 1 cent I paid it would be great lol

[sonic barn]

my ryzen thinkpad only gets very few updates

[stoic beacon]

Why do so many kids equate more update = better?

[sonic barn]

better support

[lucid echo]

It's a few years old now, still running Mojave, integrated intel graphics. Just for some music production, software dev stuff/cronjobs, and hosting a server application that lets me use iMessage from windows/linux

[sonic barn]

lenovo still hasn't fixed the mistake they did with the bios on my laptop

[fossil frost]

because they grew up in a time where its normal to ship a huge turd, and then spend years polishing it

[median idol]

Well yes but actually no

[fossil frost]

where as when i grew up, if somebody shipped you a turd, it had better well be already polished

[lucid echo]

Wait till they hear that some of the greatest games ever made shipped with no updates ever

[sonic barn]

hibernate doesn't put the laptop to sleep by default on lid close, it then boots from sleep as it was still running

so the battery drains like crazy

intel models don't have the problem

only amd

[fossil frost]

thats a power profile issue, not a cpu issue

somebody at lenovo has installed a shit power profile

[sonic barn]

well it worked before

I rarely shut down my laptop

[fossil frost]

then you changed something

[sonic barn]

it was a bios update

they rolled it out like a few months ago

[stoic beacon]

I just turn my computer off every time I'm done using it

That might solve your problem

[median idol]

Same

[lucid echo]

I just never turn off my computer

Or put it to sleep

Problem solved

[sonic barn]

I use the laptop for school

so I have to go back and forth and remote into it from desktop sometimes

as I am lazy to set up microsoft onedrive

[stoic beacon]

OneDrive takes less than 15 seconds to set up. Don't start freaking out about Lenovo not rolling out a massive fix when you can't be bothered to spend a fraction of your jerkoff time fixing your stuff

It's just so bad for the community long term

[sonic barn]

I don''t think they're doing it since gen2 and gen 3 are affected still

and gen 1 started it

its for the t14s, x13 and p14s

afaik

mine is gen 1 from 2020

I only use ubuntu on my laptop

[lucid echo]

Linux and laptops don't mix well

[sonic barn]

tlp is good for the amd pro stuff

they are locked in windows

[lucid echo]

My Intel thinkpad never went to sleep when running Arch, it's just a linux thing

[sonic barn]

there's no settings to configure besides using ryzen controller

and even that has problems starting up

[sonic barn]

I had a t14s intel max spec model for the 10310u but the cpu was so slow

at least igpu

[median idol]

Speaking of Arch, archinstall is a godsend.

[sonic barn]

I don't have time for arch

ubuntu is stable too with the lts

or kubuntu

yeah that's why I don't use it

ubuntu easier to use and gets a ton of support

configure it how you want and then update whenever

windows forces you

[lucid echo]

Not necessarily

O&O Shutup stops it

[sonic barn]

well u can disable it but then it gets reenabled

[stoic beacon]

3rd party software dude

[lucid echo]

Not necessarily

[stoic beacon]

Use it

[sonic barn]

there's windows update fetch in the services.msc or whatever its called and the fetch always looks and re enables

[lucid echo]

Perhaps you don't know everything there is to know

Have you ever considered that

[echo ridge]

I agree with this statement as a kid

[stoic beacon]

One step closer to not being a kid then

[sonic barn]

well I am not a kid

[stoic beacon]

Wrong, sorry

[lucid echo]

Just because you can buy cigarettes doesn't mean you're not a kid, sorry bud

[sonic barn]

sanic assumes that you're still a child if you're 18

[lucid echo]

Because you are

You'll see why in 5-7 years

[echo ridge]

I mean your brain still develops until 25

[stoic beacon]

It's more than just your brain...it's life experience too

If you hit 25 and you still have never had a job, never produced anything, and always eaten garbage your mom buys for you, you're still a kid

[lucid echo]

Iheuzio bought stocks and built a computer therefore they know everything there is to know about being an adult. That's how it works, obviously

[lucid echo]

I remember being 18 and thinking I wasn't a child

Boy was I wrong af

[fossil frost]

im 37 and think im not a child (i am a child :D)

[median idol]

I'm in my early-mid 20s and I still have a lot of things in life to learn

[lucid echo]

Yeah the mentality of being early 20s never really goes away, I hear that from even 60 year olds

[stoic beacon]

I think once I figure out how to peel soft boiled and hard boiled eggs with the speed and cleanliness that my mom did it with, I will truly be an adult. It's been a long time though, and I don't seem to be getting any closer.

[lucid echo]

I think once I die I'll no longer be a child

Hopefully

[stoic beacon]

Your children will be the judge of that

[fossil frost]

i do a 10 mile TT road race on the bike (peddle, not motor) every tuesday.. and every monday night, i get a whatsapp message from about 3 or 4 different friends asking "are you playing out tomorrow? mrs said i can play out"

[stoic beacon]

To have friends that use Whatsapp...this guy is living the dream

[lucid echo]

The dream is friends that use Signal

[stoic beacon]

I said dream, not myth.

[fossil frost]

i live in the uk, whatsapp has replaced allmost all other messaging

[lucid echo]

I got all but one on board with Signal, but the straggler is moving across the country so doesn't matter

[stoic beacon]

I'm in the US and I text about 80~ regularly. Family, friends, co-workers, etc. About 50 of them have Google Messages, and about 30 of them have iMessage. SOME of them have Facebook Messenger.

Not a single one will even look at Whatsapp, Telegram, or Signal

[lucid echo]

They all used Snapchat before and they LOVE signal in comparison

[stoic beacon]

I would love pigeon carrier if Snapchat was my primary form of communication before

Might as well share a Dropbox link with me that has a text file inside of it...I hate Snapchat so much

[fossil frost]

carrier pigeon is an option https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2549

[lucid echo]

It is the worst possible app, in every way

The ads, the UI, the notifications, the stupid avatars watching you type...

It's the only app on my phone that swipes from right to left to navigate to the previous screen

I've never used it, but that's because I deleted my facebook in 2014

[fossil frost]

it isnt remotely tied to an fb account, its owned by fb, but is kept apart from it

[lucid echo]

Never had a tiktok/instagram either. I thought it would hurt my chances on dating apps but apparently having a boyf with no socials is very attractive now

[lucid echo]

I prefer not to associate with that company at all, but I don't judge others for using their products

[stoic beacon]

Mostly because it's a platform agnostic upgrade from Google Messages and iMessage. It's not that I like Whatsapp. It's just asking people to use it is far easier than getting them on Signal.

Not that I've had much luck with either....

[median idol]

Discord is honestly the only social media platform I can tolerate using these days

[fossil frost]

you shouldnt, discords business model is exploitative, but very well disguised

[median idol]

Though yeah even then that isn't saying much LMAO

[fossil frost]

they let people set up servers "for free", and then let you "donate" on those servers, making it seem like the creators who run those servers are seeing some of that money, when they dont see a single penny of it, it all goes to discord... and they know they are doing it, but, they currently have the best integration and are easy to set up, so they are currently the winner

[stoic beacon]

I mean, the jump from Teamspeak to Discord was MASSIVE

Yes, Skype and Curse were around at the time, but they were too small. Nobody used them, so they didn't work for gaming communication

[fossil frost]

all of them didnt have discords ease of setup, and ease of integration with other stuff

they use that to pretend to be the good guy, when they are actually the parasite 🙂

[sonic barn]

signal is only good for sms communication stuff

discord is more of a messaging platform

like a cursed forum

[fossil frost]

discord is essentially what IRC would have been if IRC never existed, and IRC was created today

[sonic barn]

discord should be p2p though

[lilac spade]

Anyone know where someone could get some roms for a steam deck ?

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, but it's the read receipts and file size limits for attachments that truly matter.

[fossil frost]

then they wouldnt be able to snoop on everything and sell the data they mine from it all

[lucid echo]

False

[stoic beacon]

I like having my 100MB file size limits for Google Messages....Not sure why Whatsapp is limited to 25MB, or why iMessage absolutely M U R D E R S anything you send

[fossil frost]

search google for your piracy questions, not gonna get any help here on that, in fact, you will probably get banned

[lucid echo]

Signal is great for Wifi calls between android/iOS cuz I have no cell signal in my apartment

[sonic barn]

🏴‍☠️

[stoic beacon]

Do iPhones not allow for WiFi calls between anything but other iPhones???

[sonic barn]

literally in the name

[fossil frost]

wifi calling is built directly into android now isnt it?

[lucid echo]

Are you using emudeck?

[lucid echo]

With certain carriers, yes, not mine tho

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, and it works with all sorts of phones...landlines, flip phones, enterprise phones, etc.

[stoic beacon]

Oh what the actual hell...

[lucid echo]

Google Fi... def gonna change soon

[stoic beacon]

I love Fi, but I also have a Pixel, so...

[fossil frost]

easy fix, throw iphone in the bin... get a real phone 🙂

[stoic beacon]

Apple's stranglehold is tighter than I thought, geez

[sonic barn]

I have a pixel and randomly get ads for stuff I talk about with people on discord or irl

[lucid echo]

It'll be fun explaining to my job why I threw away the $1,200 phone they bought me

[sonic barn]

rip pixel unlimited storage

that was the reason I bought the phone

[fossil frost]

thats confirmation bias... you notice the ads because you were talking about it, you do not get the ads because you were talking about it

[fossil frost]

im sure they will understand when you tell them that somebody you dont know, on the internet, told you to do it

[sonic barn]

true but it may be irrelevant as I have a adblock on the device for most things

[red breach]

if you're on an iPhone in the USA the only carrier you should consider is T-Mobile

[lilac sage]

idk how useful that advice is

[polar fern]

just bought one of these to replace my old battery bloated power bank https://a.co/d/1YqCL0Y

anyoen have experience with this brand?

[lilac sage]

If you have more money than brains and you love america so much you never want to leave, verizon is prob the better choice

[stoic beacon]

I get that with any device.

Don't pretend that they aren't all listening.

[polar fern]

"more dollars than sense"?

[lilac sage]

thats good too

[stoic beacon]

Emphasis on the more dollars than sense part. Verizon is extremely overpriced.

[lucid echo]

"So we bought you an iPhone to more easily develop and test our iOS app... and you set it on fire?"

[sonic barn]

its def data collected from apps and programs

[red breach]

that's just some garbage china import... basically any combination of nonsensical vowels and consonants branding an electronics item isn't a "brand" it's just.... an importer

[sonic barn]

like discord sells individual messages

[polar fern]

ah ok so its fine

[red breach]

for $20 for a 10kmah pack, I'd rather have something like Anker

[sonic barn]

but idk I think the ads are just lumped together

[red breach]

no, not really. it's pretty shit lmao

[stoic beacon]

They all sell your texts, messages, mic recordings, etc.

[polar fern]

i dont have the $ right now

all it needs to do is last a few months

[red breach]

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-VoltageBoost-Technology/dp/B07QXV6N1B/

[sonic barn]

yeah and I have my mic on with them

[red breach]

like $3 more and will last probably 5x as long before going bloated or shit because it's got anker's PowerIQ lithium chips. real engineering and not just china ODM crap

[sonic barn]

not all the time ofc

[polar fern]

sadly, i need two charging outputs

that can charge t the same time

[stoic beacon]

I didn't just mean Discord. Google. Apple. Microsoft. Samsung. Lenovo. HP. Dell. All of them.

[lilac sage]

Dell bout to find out im never buying one of their products

[polar fern]

@red breach thanks for the link tho - i will put in my saved for later cart

[red breach]

yeah anker's stuff is really the gold standard for the lower cost part of the market imo

[stoic beacon]

Come for the hardware, leave for the driver issues

[polar fern]

my old one is a corner store brand x model that i bought for around $18 so i'm not too upset about it

[sacred scaffold]

E

[polar fern]

@red breach this is the one that looks bloated. it could be crush damaged, so im not 100% sure if its dead or just has a war wound https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/infinitive-power-bank-10000mah/ID=300411279-product

mine is a slightly older model with a 2.1 amp and 1 amp output

[tribal compass]

Anyone know how well you can stream a game from your desktop pc to steam deck? Like could I steam the game from my pc in 4k or 1440p to my steam deck or forget the resolution but just the capability of doing such

[lucid echo]

Steam Link is built in

You can connect the device to your Steam on PC, then every downloaded game on your PC becomes available to "play" in the Steam Deck UI when connected to the same network

[polar fern]

hurr got my bivalent booster and the flu shot yesterday around this time - seems ok so far

or as i like to say, i got poked full of holes and i'm ok

this camera repair video is making me nervous

[sonic barn]

the flu will be apparently bad this season

saw a bunch of articles about it

[polar fern]

yeah i'm a huge science nerd and i been following the southern flu season - does look a bit concerning

[sonic barn]

also there's polio in nyc

[polar fern]

fun times

i was vaccinated for polio when i was a bebe so i am not too too concerned

[sonic barn]

not looking fun this year if we also get hit by a recession. Canada is doing well though

[sonic barn]

same

problem is if it mutates

[polar fern]

tetanus and polio are not things anyone should play with in the many things we can vaccinate against

rabies too, but thats a whole other class of bad

[sonic barn]

rabies is easy to control though

has to be basically direct contact

bad for pets though

[fossil frost]

yes, it does, but getting it, and not getting treated practically immediately, is 100% fatal

and, it has no symptoms for a few days, so you might not know you have it... so.. theres that too

[polar fern]

i have had a prophylactical rabies vaccination - 12 injections total. 8 at first and 4 follow up - its based on body mass

bat flew into my mouth while cycling at night

[fossil frost]

fuck, how big is your mouth? or... how stupid is that bat

[sonic barn]

bat soup

[polar fern]

mouth is very anechoic - probably looked like a space it could fly through

[fossil frost]

been in the woods on the mountain bike 100s of times on the bike, seen loads of bats, not one has ever come anywhere near me

[polar fern]

i was out in the open

[sonic barn]

bat was probably blind or something

[polar fern]

it was feeding on the flying buggies

it was also like 2 am

[fossil frost]

in fact, my right forearm is still quite sore from me misjudging the gap between 2 trees, and i caught a glancing whack from a tree on the side of the arm, at about 40kph

[polar fern]

ouch

[hardy roost]

Okay so i just watched dave2d iphone 14 review and I'm laughing my ass out fr

Apparently there's a bug in iOS 16 that it doesn't change the text color to black while using light backgrounds, and dave calls this a "feature" so people would use dark backgrounds and save battery xD

[polar fern]

imma play some minecraft bbl

[sonic barn]

nice

I like how microsoft still hasn't made bedrock avaliable for linux

[hollow knot]

Im getting a 4090 no doubt

the specs are insane

Up to 4x faster than the 3090ti in some games

[lyric rover]

what

hope not

[polar fern]

just bought 2x 8 gig ram

[hollow knot]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/rtx-4090/

[polar fern]

next month i will buy two more 8 gig for a total of 32 gig. this will double the ram i have in there now

[hollow knot]

i gotta get a 4090🤑🤑🤑

[hardy roost]

Pretty sure u mean 3090ti

[hollow knot]

3090ti

[hollow knot]

Yea

[hardy roost]

Have they announced the tdp for 4090 and 4080?

[hollow knot]

Not yet

There is just 1 page rn

[hardy roost]

Ahh

[sonic barn]

1000w

[hollow knot]

It seems a bit suspicious. There is little to no information except a graph with probably misleading info

[sonic barn]

/s

[hardy roost]

Anyway by getting a 4090 u also get a pretty nice feet warmer for cold winters lol

[sonic barn]

good news for europe is they are ahead of storage build by a month

[polar fern]

rip electric grid

[sonic barn]

or 3 months

[hollow knot]

It also has the same body as the ampere archetecture

[sonic barn]

germany for instance is at 90%

they were planning to be at 90% by november

but you have people overpriscing everything

[full fossil]

Im a bit late, but screw nvidia

[hollow knot]

!!!

[sonic barn]

https://agsi.gie.eu/

[hardy roost]

Yeah a bit of performance uplift is bc of new tsmc nodes and the rest is just cranking the wattage

[sonic barn]

I wish our system didn't make people fear price things like energy

because people legit prob killed themselves over paying bills in europe

[hollow knot]

It also has dlss3.0 so I wonder if their graphs could be biased because of that

[hardy roost]

So people could destroy the earth faster?

[sonic barn]

well there's no shortage of anything

opec cut crude production for instance

there's no shortage of gas

but people make it so

even though there's gonna be a huge surplus by december

[lucid echo]

Don't bother engaging, they will talk right past you

[hardy roost]

:)) gas and oil reserves are limited. U know that right?

[sonic barn]

check the link I sent

[tired glade]

Which gas?

[sonic barn]

natural gas

[tired glade]

Oh,not that one

how does this compare with a 1050ti? https://www.cdw.com/product/visiontek-radeon-rx-550-graphics-card-radeon-rx-550-4-gb/6884223?pfm=srh

[tired glade]

550 is closer to1030 than then to 1050

[polar fern]

how does it compare to vega 11 igpu?

[dreamy otter]

iOS 16.1 beta 2 fixes the battery percent icon

[tired glade]

https://youtu.be/jDsGBZn6a_o

[polar fern]

what was it before?

[dreamy otter]

It was always full until you got to 20% or so

[tired glade]

Oh,it can be worse than Vega 11

[polar fern]

o

i see hmm

[tired glade]

Most of the time,it 10% faster

[polar fern]

vega 11 faster?

[tired glade]

550

[polar fern]

ooo

[tired glade]

Is some games, it's slower

[polar fern]

ok i will get that - it also draws 25 watts less

[tired glade]

For 200?

[polar fern]

nu im gonna shop around

[tired glade]

No more than 75

[polar fern]

the 1050 is 75 watt

[full fossil]

hello

[gaunt swallow]

Oh, sweet! I'm on base iOS 16 and am annoyed the battery icon is full the entire time

[dreamy otter]

You aren’t the only one lol

[full fossil]

the earth is flat

[dreamy otter]

Tons of people were annoyed..

[gaunt swallow]

Apple is truly an innovative company /s

[polar fern]

the 4 gig one is the one i need - but its almost $100 more

x-x

[zinc schooner]

I7-87k paired with 3080

Valorant- only barely hitting 200 fps and dropping down to 117 sometimes. How?

Is the 3080 bottle capped? Is there a setting not allowing valorant to use more gpu?

[polar fern]

sigh - only one i found reasonable price is in uk x-x

$80 shipping hahaha haha

[lucid echo]

Only way to know is to pull up an overlay like RTSS and see what the usages are

[abstract rivet]

I overheard some co-workers about buying the 4090 to play at 1080p?

[lucid echo]

Especially per-core

[abstract rivet]

What is the best 1080p GPU for mainly Esports titles?

[polar fern]

the majority of people have 1080p displays at this point

[full fossil]

Id go with a 3060 for e sports at 1080p

Or a 2060 even

[zinc schooner]

@lucid echo what am I looking for with the overlay? What’s a problem

[polar fern]

sigh

well i found one from germany and it has free shipping but its $180

looks like a good option

[livid belfry]

So who is waiting for a 4070!

[polar fern]

not i

[livid belfry]

oh wait they rebranded it a 4080 12gb ... becasue they are insane

3 - 4 slot cards

[polar fern]

hmmm

[livid belfry]

350-660 watts of heat

what case/fan combo can manage the top end

we are talking server class fans with completely open cases just to keep it cool and the rest of your pc from melting

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4rbw8p/facts_about_pcie_connectors/

[twin raptor]

Liquid cooled with external fittings?

Quick connect type

[livid belfry]

some good info like melting points

[wraith loom]

am i the only one that doesnt like the prices for the new gpu's, i waited so long and now this kinda has me feeling down i might just end up picking up a 30 series

[unique needle]

yes pricing is rough but we still haven't seen what amd has to offer. A lot of people are saying that those prices will certainly get lower as the stocks of 3000 cards decreases but for people waiting, this is rough to say the least

[wraith loom]

yea ive been trying to plan a pc build since Q1 2021

still havent gotten around to making one

[tribal compass]

I mean coming from someone who paid 1400 for an 80ti ftw3 the prices seem okay could be better but we must consider what the 80 and 90 WERE and how much performance they gave

[tribal compass]

You’ve waited the perfect amount of time my dude

I don’t regret it though because it was a vibe and a fun challenge to obtain

[wraith loom]

hey @tribal compass do you think you could give my build a quick look and see what changes i could make that would benefit me?

[polar fern]

o.o purple

[wraith loom]

purple?

[polar fern]

a rare shiny purple

[unique needle]

twitch subs army

[wraith loom]

@polar fern sorry u have me really confused

[dreamy rose]

funny how the 680M is close to that at around 55-60 watts most.

[wraith loom]

oh i see

[polar fern]

680m what?

[dreamy rose]

Radeon 680M, the RDNA iGPU

[polar fern]

uh k

[unique needle]

i mean a 1050......

but yes i get your point, igpu using as much as a dedicated one is crazy

[dreamy rose]

a Desktop 1050 in a Thin and light laptop. thats freaking lit.

[unique needle]

battery wanna have a word with you

[dreamy rose]

performs as well but on TDP its counting the CPU itself

[polar fern]

"hay .. gimme all yer lithium breh"

[dreamy rose]

heheh. this isn't intel.

[polar fern]

a laptop but your desk is a giant battery bank

[tribal compass]

Yeah for sure

[unique needle]

i see no problems here, just youre normal alienware machine

[polar fern]

ohay wrld long time no see

[dreamy rose]

🤮

[tribal compass]

Who you? Lol I don’t know anyone in here respectfully

[dreamy rose]

Alienware.

[unique needle]

true my man

wise vomiting

[tribal compass]

Never buy Alienware ever ever ever ever ever

[polar fern]

your user photo is memorable

[karmic wedge]

even the base model 4080 12GB after tax is probs gonna be like over NZD$2k realistically
it's clearly priced to take advantage of the early adopters and the rest will clean up 30 series stock
without a doubt
now whether or not the 30 series stock is depleted from the used market over the new market is an entirely different story

[unique needle]

yes its no secret

[polar fern]

why do people reply comment the chat entry above theirs

[vapid smelt]

Only the monitors

[karmic wedge]

But there are RTX 3060s and 6600XTs on the used market here going for NZD$300-350

[unique needle]

ahh that sweet qd oled you smell it too dont ya ?

[tribal compass]

Yes agree, they did just release a fire monitor

[karmic wedge]

What's the clear cut choice?

[tribal compass]

For?

[polar fern]

we dont want monitors on fire pls

[karmic wedge]

It's a wild fire sale atm

[unique needle]

srsly tho, why arent there more qd oled monitors goddamnit

[tribal compass]

C1 is so fckin cheap rn last I checked was like 700-800 I paid 1588 with coverage from Costco

[tribal compass]

Choice for what

I love the hype of the new series and being cutting edge but this year I took a trip out to Yellowstone and grand Teton and the steam deck and college and I make like 12k a year lmfao

[dreamy rose]

imagine a Dell VR Headset. that thing would blow up after 5 hours of use total.

[tribal compass]

I see no reason for me to upgrade because everything I play in 4k is perfect

[unique needle]

youre face with it

[tribal compass]

It’s honestly sad how terrible Alienware and dell is, imagine a company that size got with the times and made good pcs

[dreamy rose]

your face melts with it! man machine fusion!

[unique needle]

they make good pc, just not the good you are expecting

[dreamy rose]

Good for killing components

[karmic wedge]

No I already answered my question earlier in chat. The used market is an absolute fire sale of used GPUs well below discounted retail pricing, and given they are still very recent purchases, manufacturer warranties actually still apply, or at the least, store warranties and returns

[unique needle]

and making sweet sweet money

[tribal compass]

I mean I know a dude who bought 2 alienwares when the 3080/90 was peak hard to come by and he had issues with the gpus

[unique needle]

yes i meant for buisness, dell is making money with them so its good for them not for you

[manic torrent]

I bought a 3070 18 months ago for 1500aud/1100 USD.

A 4080 will drive 4k wayyyyy better.

[tribal compass]

I wanna see amd(s) response to nvidia but what would y’all do as someone building pc rn

[unique needle]

take a good 5600g and wait

[tribal compass]

Bro the 4080 will be getting 90-100+ 4k frames on any game

[manic torrent]

Yeah I have a 4k120 monitor 🙂

[unique needle]

wow you are gonna have such a good time

[manic torrent]

Get a second hand 3080

[tribal compass]

5000 series will be like how 4k was for 3000 series I think

[vapid smelt]

I can, because I have a cool blue name

[vapid smelt]

Oled is so hot 🥵 I love it

[unique needle]

burn in yet ?

Statistically speaking, yes

[hollow zealot]

You beat me to it

[unique needle]

but how much time before it happens ?

[vapid smelt]

Never had burn in on any oled device

[tired glade]

Depends what gen it is

[unique needle]

latest ones like odyssey arc or c2 for example

[tired glade]

Around 5 years

[unique needle]

oh okay thats not bad at all

[tired glade]

But no one truly did test

[night heron]

🤨

[unique needle]

thank you

[unique needle]

ah i see, marketing stuff prolly

[tired glade]

Yea, it was weird

[unique needle]

i am tempted but i fear a lifespan of less than 2 years

for a 1000+ monitor its too low for my taste

[tired glade]

Real life test, we have some data on old gen and there are burn out after few years, but not that notable

[jovial depot]

twitch thinks gambling isnt okay but a girl getting cucked on stream is okay? nice

[vapid smelt]

I'm not ready to invest into a oled monitor

[unique needle]

understandable, great qd oled is coming but there are still very nice ips ones

[unique needle]

hum okay i will keep doing some research then ty

[tired glade]

Linus got 4k 139 oled for his needs

That one is 1,3k

[unique needle]

ah yes the 138 oc

[tired glade]

It's 120 from box

[unique needle]

i mean expensiveness is, to a certain degree, subjective

it all depends on the importance you give to something

[tired glade]

That monitor don't gives anything

[unique needle]

then too expensive, that's good for you

[manic torrent]

I had a modest amount of burn in at one time but managed to get it out, I'm now more careful about it and hasn't been a problem since

[vapid smelt]

Got them old school crt backgrounds?

[unique needle]

8 hrs a day of taskbar, was your monitor in such a condition before when you had the burn-ins ?

[night heron]

youll need to use auto hide taskbar with an oled

if youre leaving the monitor on for 8 hours straight

[unique needle]

oh no that's what i fear

thanks for your input

[manic torrent]

autohide..... it's not a big deal, I realised I barely use the task bar as it is

but holy shit are the colours vivid and awesome

[unique needle]

i mean yes alt tab and win+numbers i can get used to that

its just that i got a million shortcuts on my taskbar for work

[night heron]

you can still use the taskbar, it pops up automatically when you hover over where it should be

i got learning shortcuts here, 3d modelling, programming on different ide, accountability stuff, gaming stuff my pc is filled with stuff and taskbar just lets me see what is running at lets me switch apps much quicker

a stream deck will replace it haha

Conflict of interest on most of these issues

They only take action once it's at risk of gaining attention of regulators.

[vapid smelt]

Real money gambling or all gambling?

[brisk tundra]

sigh
it's always the regulators

[muted relic]

If it makes them money they try to pretend it's not an issue as long as they can

[muted relic]

Real money it seems on unregulated gambling sites

Like stake, which seems to be the top site on the slots catagory

[brisk tundra]

mhmm

[muted relic]

There are a looooot of streamers that is sponsored by that site on Twitch

And they are having a meltdown right now

[vapid smelt]

The gambling sites gave them a shit ton of money

[graceful burrow]

Sucks gambling bad stay mad

[dapper turret]

its me

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[brisk tundra]

it sucks in a business perspective
but I guess it goes to show that ethics don't matter these days to get to the top

[dapper turret]

cap

[brisk tundra]

it's not a cap

btw is there a ltt video today?
just wondering

[manic torrent]

I was just approached about a security job in a gambling company. I won't work for gambling companies because I can't reconcile it ethically

[vapid smelt]

Taking advantage of people with mental problems like addiction is very ethical, it's not like the odds are against them it's a very fair 50/50

[manic torrent]

and ensuring that they get and stay addicted, no problem at all!

and then ensuring corruption so you can get that sweet sweet crime cash

RTX 40 series is out

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/?ncid=em-news-990039#cid=dt005_em-news_en-us

or announced

[manic torrent]

thanks for that, we didn't know.

[vapid smelt]

Then they kick out smart people that can count cards because they lose money

[stuck wedge]

no problem

[vapid smelt]

Who is Nvidia I have never heard of that company before

[stuck wedge]

they make graphic cards for gaming

like the rtx 3080

[tepid bolt]

What's an rtx

[vapid smelt]

Did they want you to do the camera security to catch the people that make them lose money I mean cheaters

[tepid bolt]

Is that like the radeon?

[muted relic]

It's one of those new fangled com-poot-er things that's clearly just a fad.

[manic torrent]

nono, standard IT sec stuff

[vapid smelt]

Sounds lame and exhausting

[worldly kayak]

i bought the new airpods from apple, my card got charged like a week ago, but i got the money in my account again does this mean my order was cancled?

[wary summit]

I'm going to Sydney on a road trip XD

[wary summit]

ask apple, oh wait they'll just tell you to buy another one and charge you twice

[worldly kayak]

thats why im not touching it lol it says that the order is still being proscessed

maybe i scored some free airpods lol

only thing is, im also getting paid today so i thought i had gotten like half my paycheck and spent some of the money

so if they do take the money it will probably cancel

[hallow plank]

Should I use retail demo mode in my store?

[vapid smelt]

Unless you want people to download anything on it I would

[hollow citrus]

i got charged twice by lttstore.com for a screwdriver lmao

[vapid smelt]

don't tell Jack that I used his card

[hollow citrus]

nah i just had to switch addresses so they had to cancel my order and i placed a new one. They should refund it soon

[stuck wedge]

no

it will get deducted when shipped

[worldly kayak]

but it got deducted then added back lol

[stuck wedge]

when in the processing state it will not get charged

[stuck wedge]

it is Apple verifying u have enough funds

[worldly kayak]

cool

[stuck wedge]

once verified, it will ship and then it get deducted

[worldly kayak]

thanks for the clarification

[stuck wedge]

no problem

their is an official apple server if u need help

[willow patrol]

bike handles fell out lol should i just weld it back on

[worldly kayak]

but that was like week ago and it still hasnt shipped

[willow patrol]

it was just friction fitted so I'm guessing I should

[stuck wedge]

it was not released yet

so ofc u will not be getting it lol

[worldly kayak]

oki

where is the apple discord?

[vapid smelt]

Next to the dumpster

[worldly kayak]

fr

[graceful burrow]

Next to the dumpster

[brisk tundra]

and the same tactic is being used on our phones
more specifically on social media apps

[unique needle]

the future of tech is both bright and sad

[final jungle]

no video today 😢

[manic torrent]

out of respect for the queen

[sonic barn]

behind wendys

[pine bane]

Is Android Auto any good?

[sonic bison]

No video today?

[graceful burrow]

Do you see a video?

[sonic bison]

No but does floatplane have it

[brisk tundra]

I don't see it on YT

[graceful burrow]

You could like

[sonic barn]

tech quickie has a vid

prob gonna be an upload at 12 am

[slim yacht]

its aight
very functional for android
same concept to apple car play

[manic torrent]

My main gripe about sniper elite 5 is you can't change the zero on the iron sights. like if they were zeroed for 100m, that would be ok

but they are zeroed for like... RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

[vapid smelt]

wonder if a big tech compony announced a new product today that LTT needs to write a script for record and edit.............nah that doesn't sound right they probably just forgot to upload a video today

[slim yacht]

or its the usual linus just pulled up late maybe

[latent plank]

what?

[slim yacht]

oh i remembered linus said something about wake up at 9.45 thing? i think it was in 80 staff video
i was referencing to that

its not meant as an insult

maybe the way i said it was wrong

[lucid echo]

Pretty sure he's not the one actually hitting publish

[latent plank]

fair, he has nothing to do with the publishing

[slim yacht]

yeah its just that i remembered that part so i just said it

my apologies

[latent plank]

all good

the nvidia video is in editing

[lucid echo]

Loved your parts in the sony camera vid nick, hilarious you had to step in and get it all finished

[vapid smelt]

nick seems like a jack of all trades

[lucid echo]

Was that more cuz linus was busy or it was out of his wheelhouse?

[latent plank]

I wish Linus had listened to me in the beginning, would have been a bit smoother

[lucid echo]

Were your saying to replace the mainboard from the start?

[latent plank]

totally out of his wheel house

[latent plank]

Yeah, the soldering was possible by someone with the experience

[lucid echo]

Video felt like there was an intended destination but it never really got there, i.e. fixing the camera for cheaper. Looked like it ended up costing the same or more

Due to Linus' excellent soldering skills

[pine fractal]

So Microsoft finally made it so that you need a Microsoft account/internet connection install Windows moving forward as of 22H2

[latent plank]

the inteneded conclusion was can i fix it myself, answer yes.

[lucid echo]

Gotcha

[pine fractal]

Just downloaded 22H2 and unplugged the wire trying to do an offline installation and it straight up doesn’t let you

[latent plank]

Linus is a glutton for punishment

[manic torrent]

... yes. That's how it goes 😛

I've broken stuff I wanted to fix - it's just being prepared for that outcome going in

[lucid echo]

That's fun
I've been installing windows for years with a MS account/internet so I don't really see a problem. Great for transferring the activation whenever the hardware changes

[errant magnet]

@lucid echo exactly

[vapid smelt]

so nick your pro painter, driver, camera repair man and IT guy?

[latent plank]

I can do a lot of things really well.

[errant magnet]

But there's some who despise microsucks integration

[latent plank]

also designer, cad modeler

[lucid echo]

For example, have some kinda presence on the LTT discord

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

[latent plank]

true

lol whoops @lucid echo

[lucid echo]

Human beings triumphed due to our ability to be generalists

Can't say the official genus/species of human lmao

[pine fractal]

I just don’t use MS services so to set it up using the account is just a pain vs signing into Xbox exclusively after the fact

[latent plank]

my specialty is problem solving

[pine fractal]

I don’t use anything other than Xbox offered from MS. And windows itself obviously haha

[lucid echo]

You can use O&O Shutup to remove all Microsoft Services completely from the install

And the telemetry, bloatware, ads, etc

It's the best piece of freeware out there
/rant

[pine fractal]

It lets you create an offline account and delete the MS account user after the fact but doesn’t let you create one during set up… and if you pull the plug like before it just won’t let you set up

What a stupid change. I figured offline accounts were just a thing of the past since it seemed as though there was no other choice at set up

[manic torrent]

My speciality is scope creep

[worldly kayak]

yo alex plays rocket league??

pretty based

[obsidian adder]

he said that in controller fixing vid

[gaunt kelp]

Good evening

[finite cloud]

Ello

[elfin python]

hello

i heard new rtx 4000 series coming out soon
I hope after i get a job i can get a lightly used 3060 and a new CPU, motherboard and ram

people will be selling all their old stuff after all

[gilded quest]

Lisa Su gonna come through

RDNA3 sounds promising so far

[hearty spear]

Try to tweak it into "problem creation" especially when Linus is hosting the video.
The trick is to make it either look completely natural, or just not point at you!

[granite tinsel]

you could get an RX 6600 right now that has comparable performance for the price you'd probably find a 3060 used

also the thing is that there won't be that many people jumping from a 3060 to a 4080 because of the price difference; most who bought a 3060 probably wouldn't wanna spend $900+ on a GPU, especially after just 1-2 years

[elfin python]

true

[manic torrent]

yeah the low-midrange isn't somewhere I'd be hesitant to buy right now

[elfin python]

well not right now
I can only get a job in november

[granite tinsel]

perfect timing! november 3 is when RDNA 3 is gonna be announced

[velvet marsh]

I just wish AMD had better performance in content creation

[vivid delta]

what they did with the 12gb 4080 model is so scummy

[velvet marsh]

I mean they're completely transparent about it

[hearty spear]

we'll see if it's visible on boxes. IE: 1060 3gb vs 6gb or 1030 DDR4 vs DDR5

[granite tinsel]

yeah same

but i mean hey, they got around to fixing openGL performance on windows recently, so it's probably somewhere on their todo list

[granite tinsel]

are they really? the specs of the 4080 12GB match up perfectly with what leakers were saying was gonna be a 4070

[velvet marsh]

Leakers were wrong lol

[granite tinsel]

or nvidia decided to rename it

i mean, think about it; how would everyone react if there was only the 16GB 4080 at $500 more than the 3080 10GB?

i imagine not well at all

[sonic barn]

an extra 5minutes to composite something?

[hearty spear]

Or if the 4070 went up like 60-70% in price?

[granite tinsel]

nvidia's done this before too; releasing a weaker GPU under the same name as a variant in order to make the more expensive one look better

[velvet marsh]

time is money

[sonic barn]

those are already fast enough

[granite tinsel]

my main issue is the quality of the encoding 💀

[sonic barn]

you can preview it though

I only used vegas pro awhile back though

[digital fern]

is amd good for 3d?

[sonic barn]

for a few school projects

[velvet marsh]

This is the problem, why get a 6900xt when you can get a 3060ti for a lot less

[velvet marsh]

eh depends on the program

[hearty spear]

now show that for h.265?

[sonic barn]

afaik decoding and encoding is a software issue that is held back by formats

[hearty spear]

nope. Nvidia has an h.264 encoder chip onboard. AMD has an h.265

[digital fern]

I use zbrush, maya, blender, substance painter, mari, unreal engine

[hearty spear]

(So assuming the software is smart enough to know it, it can offload encoding to the GPU)

[velvet marsh]

Nvidia 100%

[sonic barn]

my rtx 2070s can run in h.265 and h.264 on remote streaming though

[manic torrent]

uhhhh nvidia has h265 encoding

[granite tinsel]

davinci resolve and... that's about it for anything remotely taxing

[digital fern]

that sucks
