Its not just a utah thing

[graceful burrow]

It isn't kek

It also is very meh

Ranch > fry sauce I'm with Radio

[wraith sonnet]

I thought it was. I spent like 30 minutes defending it against @polar fern and @manic torrent

[topaz patio]

Nope

[vapid smelt]

Spicy fry sauce is so fucking good

[topaz patio]

Its a thing all over the us

[graceful burrow]

Spicy ranch > spicy fry sauce

[topaz patio]

(You can thank canes and freddys for that)

[vapid smelt]

I would fight in a violent war to defend fry sauce

[fast willow]

yeah we have fry sauce
ranch on the other hand idk if we have it at all or if its a different name in germany

[wraith sonnet]

Chipotle fry sauce > fry sauce

[graceful burrow]

You'd lose that war

[wraith sonnet]

Maybe I should try ranch on more than just fish fillets

Well and salad

It used to be good with the shitty public school pizza but it's been more than six years since I ate that trite.

[vapid smelt]

Ranch and nuggies

[wraith sonnet]

McDonald's ranch is an abomination

[vapid smelt]

I eat McDonald's like twice a year

[wraith sonnet]

Real talk hidden valley ranch > any other ranch

[vapid smelt]

Wendy's > McDonald's

[wispy marsh]

Mcdonalds is my favourite

It is the best fast food (for the price) that I have ever had

[wraith sonnet]

Hidden valley ranch + sweet baby Ray's = best wing sauce

[wraith sonnet]

Taco Bell's price to food ratio is kinda insane.

[wispy marsh]

Because I have never eaten wendy's or taco bell, I can say that mcd serves the best fast food

[wraith sonnet]

Especially if you use the mobile app

[vapid smelt]

(Forgot what type of eggs) but a type of egg at McDonald's comes pre made and they just warm it up

[wispy marsh]

scrambled egg

The egg mcmuffin egg prolly is, too

[wraith sonnet]

This

I never worked at McDonald's but burger King pulled the same shit

But it has been over 8 years since I've known wtf is going on at burger King

[vapid smelt]

I work at mc for a few days all the shit was frozen and a lot of the food was from Mexico ( we are in Utah (USA))

[wraith sonnet]

On the other hand I can at least survive at a McDonald's or burger King since Chick-fil-A has a 500 feet exclusion zone for me

[vapid smelt]

Chick-fil-A is too rich for my blood

$5 sandwich like wtf

[wraith sonnet]

🥜=💀

[wraith sonnet]

You pay for customer service?

[vapid smelt]

Pay for cheap highschool labor

[topaz patio]

I worked a taco bell and the eggs are just yolks in a bag you put in water (200f) for 30mins

[wraith sonnet]

They pay better than Costa vida

[wraith sonnet]

Taco bell breakfast is kinda bomb tho

[topaz patio]

Oh yeah

[vapid smelt]

Very disappointed you can't eat at panda Express

[wraith sonnet]

I can, I just have to be very careful with what I order and the store.

There's like four near me that use canola oil instead of peanut oil

[wispy marsh]

pandaexpress?

[vapid smelt]

I'm glad I have a deadly latex allergy over a peanut one

[wispy marsh]

You mean foodpanda?

[wispy marsh]

No latex toys for you

[wraith sonnet]

Nitrile sensitivity!

[limpid fern]

So i just got my dell vostro back from the insurance and they left the cpu loose in the bag

[wraith sonnet]

Really it's the binding agent in very specific nitrile gloves

[wispy marsh]

Is the vostro bad?

I'm using it daily for work

[vapid smelt]

Or bandaids, balloons, basketballs, footballs,four square balls, doctor gloves, some shots ( since they use a latex gasket)

[limpid fern]

Motherboard is dead but cpu still works

[wispy marsh]

You're amish now

[limpid fern]

This ones like a decade old

[wraith sonnet]

Harbor freights blue gloves, the clear ones from specific restaurant suppliers.

[vapid smelt]

Bike handlebars

[wispy marsh]

Oh, mine's this year's vostro 5620

[wraith sonnet]

Carry around a can of flex seal!

[limpid fern]

Anyone wanna see a socketed laptop i7?

[vapid smelt]

P.e was great 🙃

[wraith sonnet]

I've had many ThinkPads, show me

[limpid fern]

This was back when intel used pins

[wraith sonnet]

Sage brush allergy made PE almost impossible for me

[vapid smelt]

Bubble boy bronze

[wraith sonnet]

Basically

[dreamy otter]

thought y’all would have a laugh at this

[vapid smelt]

I'm sure you would get an allergy sneeze fit if a plant looked at you the wrong way

[vapid smelt]

Need an alarm system on me to know if anyone tries to break into me

[dreamy otter]

😭

[wraith sonnet]

Yes

[ornate walrus]

[amber ginkgo]

any good laptop recommendations under 1000 dollars

for gaming and work

[wraith sonnet]

AMD 5000 clevo

[amber ginkgo]

any laptops with that?

a gaming one

[wraith sonnet]

HP 15.6-inch Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, HD Micro-Edge Display, Windows 11 Home, Thin & Portable, Long-Lasting Battery, Full-Size Keyboard, Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth (15-ef2025nr, 2022) https://a.co/d/iQbQDYw

[frozen bridge]

Guys, do i have to update my PANZERKAMPFWAGEN AUSF H VI KONIGSTIGER? I just got it new and it seems a lil bit laggy...

[steady jacinth]

anyone know when the non K variants of the 13 series will come out?

[graceful burrow]

Intel knows

[wraith sonnet]

The 5700u got me through MGRR on 1080 high

[steady jacinth]

they haven’t announced?

[graceful burrow]

Google it

If it were announced you'd be able to find it easily

[wraith sonnet]

[graceful burrow]

That's true with most things btw
Pro tip

Free tech tip

[amber cairn]

best way to know when something releases google [product name] + release date

[wraith sonnet]

Usually it's a quarter after the k launch

[amber cairn]

sometimes google even gives you the answer in big bold letters on the search page

[amber ginkgo]

its not gaming

[amber cairn]

with gamepass ultimate even a chromebook can game

[wraith sonnet]

Just because it doesn't say that doesn't mean it can't

The 5700u's apu is pretty decent for gaming

[amber ginkgo]

but still needs a gpu

[wraith sonnet]

An apu is a CPU+GPU

[amber ginkgo]

but you cant do nice gaming

[amber cairn]

Come on guy, don't be optuse. Leon just go on to amazon and type in gaming laptop and it'll give you a price-range

then you'll see the specs and can compare the different ones, maybe look up a few videos or something

[amber ginkgo]

thats why I asked here

the only good laptop I can see is the ASUS TUF F15

[amber cairn]

you'd probably get 10 different answers from 10 different people tbh

the TUF is good for the price, feels very plastic but that's the trade-off from being that cheap

[amber ginkgo]

if I say like, I want it for gaming, cinema 4d and some adobe softwares

[hoary furnace]

Get a framework laptop

[amber ginkgo]

games like god of war 2018, elden ring

[amber ginkgo]

not available here

[vapid smelt]

Nah the new hp

[amber ginkgo]

laptops with same spec but different brand can have different performan right?

like msi and asus

[hoary furnace]

Yes, they will tune the power and heat of the laptop

But it shouldnt be major

unless they fucked it up

[amber ginkgo]

was thinking of this

ASUS TUF Gaming A15, 15.6" (39.62 cms) FHD 144Hz, AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, 4GB GeForce RTX 3050 Graphics, Gaming Laptop (16GB/512GB SSD/90WHrs Battery/Windows 11/with Office/Black/2.3 kg), FA506ICB-HN075W

[hoary furnace]

specs sound good, just see if there's reviews on the build quality

[amber cairn]

as long as you're prepared that the battery will max give you 3.5/4 hrs? sure

[hoary furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRDUR-rPGsM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_cVGb0e2Es

so which year is it

[amber ginkgo]

i will mostly work with it plugged in

[tawdry rapids]

if framework releases a 15" or a 17" with a 16:9 aspect ratio, or even their weird aspect ratio, ill probably buy it day one

[hoary furnace]

get a desktop and a light laptop

[amber cairn]

Also the screen on the entry level TUF is very dim so no good in direct sunlight

[tawdry rapids]

but untill then, that tiny ass screen isnt suitable to me

[amber ginkgo]

i have a fixed budget, so cant afford both

[errant valve]

Hello there, is there where one can find tech support? I need some advice on whether or not I should get a new cooler. Running RE8, getting 83+C with 70& usage on a 2070.

[hoary furnace]

do you need mobility

[amber ginkgo]

i see

[hoary furnace]

#1027757333117415424

[fathom widget]

why not a desktop?

[amber ginkgo]

yes but performance too

[hoary furnace]

can you handle a heavy laptop for mobility

because performance, price and weight are a triangle in laptops

[amber ginkgo]

yeah

I can

[amber cairn]

tbf the TUF isn't really all that heavy

[hoary furnace]

so those specs seem reasonable, the GPU is pretty weak though

depends what you games you play

[amber cairn]

if you can wait until black friday there might be a 3060/ti version on sale

[amber ginkgo]

mostly elden ring, god of war

most AAA games

[hoary furnace]

does elden ring play well on any system yet

[amber ginkgo]

no black friday in india

hm

ok whats better

a 2060 full size gpu or a 3050 but the mobile version

[fathom widget]

sounds like amd apu is for you

[amber ginkgo]

is amd apu's that good?

that it could compete with 2060 or 3050

[vapid smelt]

Amd apus are better than Intel's

[amber ginkgo]

but that good?

[vapid smelt]

Amd apus can't compete with those

[amber ginkgo]

yeah exactly

thats why I need a laptop with a gpu

[vapid smelt]

Could get a budget laptop and use parsec to remote into your pc

[fathom widget]

laptop + gpu dock?

[amber cairn]

eh egpu is a bit finicky it's not really worth it esp. with dedicated gpus being so expensive nowadays

Parsec is fantastic if you already have a powerful desktop yeah, you can comfortably game remotely on whatever you got

[fathom widget]

you face the issue of latency

with parsec

[vapid smelt]

I was gaming 20ish miles away on parsec and couldn't notice any latency

[tawdry rapids]

youre, insane, if you couldnt

[amber cairn]

it's not that bad compared to other solutions

it depends on the connection of your desktop + where you're at ofc

nothing will ever have good latency over 4G/5G or public wifi lol

[vapid smelt]

I was fragging on squad, at home my connection is 250 up and down.

At the house I was at it was 500 up 40 down

[tawdry rapids]

up and down speeds actually arent much important for gaming above a certain amount

its not what determines ping

[amber cairn]

on a normal bad connection normal surfing or remote stuff works well enough on parsec though, or a game that's turn-based

[tawdry rapids]

yea those are fine

but playing even terraria modded on it would become annoying with latency

[vapid smelt]

I was playing fps on parsec perfectly fine

[tawdry rapids]

yea youre insane

[amber cairn]

eh, i dunno i've played apex on parsec from the other side of the country and it's been playable, not great but playable if you're on a normal lobby

[night heron]

i don’t think i’d be able to use it without noticing latency

[amber cairn]

for what it is, it's fantastic

[night heron]

i’m used to 240-390hz displays and very low input lag

[night heron]

60fps

[amber cairn]

isn't the tic-rate of any given online fps way lower than that anyway?

[night heron]

that’s barely motion

[tawdry rapids]

fine tuned for gaming, 60FPS!!1!!1

[mystic ivy]

60FPS!!!!!I!I!I!I!!

[tawdry rapids]

im used to smooth 120, since i play uncapped and get 180 FPS in most games

[vapid smelt]

I was on a Chromebook can't go past 60hz

[amber cairn]

lol people here acting like 60 fps remote gaming is somehow shit 😂

[mystic ivy]

f

[fathom widget]

they should experience 30fps interlaced gaming 😉

[mystic ivy]

that can barely do motion

[vapid smelt]

I had a good experience 20 miles first person shooter still getting kills and having fun didn't feel handicapped at all other then the refresh rate

[amber cairn]

if you were playing warzone the tickrate of their servers is like 4 hz anyway

[fathom widget]

30 fps interlaced was fine for most homecomputers/consoles of the 90s

[amber cairn]

if you shot anywhere near where the opponent was within a second you're gold

[vapid smelt]

I played squad and war thunder on it

[mystic ivy]

well is it good for excel

[tawdry rapids]

ive been on consoles, never again

i have PTSD

[night heron]

1985: 60hz 60fps locked with the NES

2022: the majority of gamers still playing on 1080p60hz

[tawdry rapids]

whenever i see a power point presentation i freak out

[vapid smelt]

I 30fps game on my steam deck with dolphin emulator

[tawdry rapids]

the only games i feel comfortable playing 30FPS at is games like pokemon

[night heron]

nah need 390hz for pokémon

[vapid smelt]

The ltt team uses parsec for work

[tawdry rapids]

i mean thatd be better, but not necessary XD

i also dont see myself going above 120Hz anytime soon tho

Samsung G9 too much $$ for me to consider getting

[night heron]

having tried 240hz on an odyssey g7 and now 390hz on a xv252q

240hz is the point where i don’t really care anymore

144-240hz is still a huge jump to me though

[tawdry rapids]

i dont notice that as much

compared to 60 to 120/144

[vapid smelt]

I doubt I would notice 240hz enough to need it

[night heron]

240-390hz is still obvious to me but i care more about picture quality beyond 240hz

[vapid smelt]

I only have an average reaction time

[night heron]

my reaction time is awful

[tawdry rapids]

i care about picture quality beyond 120Hz, and im on a 5120x1440, so its not like i can get a PC that can do higher FPS in every game i play anyways

[night heron]

i just like the smoothness

[tawdry rapids]

i used to be a siege diamon

[night heron]

i would commit unforgivable war crimes for a 240hz oled panel

in a 24-32” form factor

id take 1440p or 4k at this point

[amber cairn]

i'm so down bad for a gaming oled panel i'm even considering the alienware one lol

[night heron]

it’s a good monitor

they’re coming out with a version that doesn’t have a gsync module for a couple hundred dollars less though

[amber cairn]

i know but i don't want to give dell the wrong idea that i tolerate them

[night heron]

and it’ll have a black design instead of white

id wait for that one

[amber cairn]

i really like the white though, gives me kind of a portal vibe lol

[night heron]

oh i mean hey if u like the white

the lg c2 42 has dropped in price a lot in the last couple months too but it’s a bit too large imo

[amber cairn]

most of my setup is black/white combo anyway, matches the theme lol

[night heron]

mines only black and grey

[tawdry rapids]

i dont pay attention to monitor color, because mine usually sits basically right by the wayy

wall*

[fathom widget]

the 90s was easy for computer colour; there where the standard beige 😉

[amber cairn]

hey sometimes i like to wear bright yellow underpants just to feel alive, no-one else needs to see it

same with the back of my monitors lmao

[tawdry rapids]

just spray paint your monitor, easy

[fathom widget]

https://tenor.com/view/magical-magic-gif-13543499

[night heron]

based

[amber cairn]

we could probably all agree that RGB on a headset is pretty bad tho, except if it's like a mic indicator light

[finite cloud]

A customer can have a computer painted any color he wants as long as it’s beige

[fathom widget]

lol

[amber cairn]

finally noctua's time to shine

[tawdry rapids]

mic on a headset is bad to begin with

[vapid smelt]

Henry Ford say “A customer can have a car painted any color he wants as long as it’s black”

[amber cairn]

sometimes the old xbox live tin can nostalgia is too much

[tawdry rapids]

lmao, with XLR prices nowadays you can get pretty much a recording set for 130$ or so

[amber cairn]

but yeah even the supposedly "good" mics are very much sub par i've noticed

[tawdry rapids]

yea, because youre looking at USB ones

[vapid smelt]

I love my mod mic

[amber cairn]

Eh? I was talking headset mics, I got good audio gear 😂

[tawdry rapids]

i have an 80$ BCD-01, it sounds basically like a Shure SM7B to untrained ears

[amber cairn]

the SM7B is mid anyway, overpriced and overhyped

[tawdry rapids]

i misunderstood, yes headset mics suck

[orchid swallow]

is cpu with 2 armpits good for gaming

[vapid smelt]

Senhiers gaming headphones have pretty nice mics

[amber cairn]

sennheiser/epos?

[tawdry rapids]

the SM7B is overhyped, and overpriced, but for vocals if youre staying under a grand its still the best mic basically

also the SM7B doesnt require a lot of environmental work, it just kinda works

[swift idol]

I got my SM7B for free, can't beat that value.

[vapid smelt]

@fossil frost and he said he was joking about being in 8th grade

[tawdry rapids]

you definitely can beat that value, like all 100$~ dynamic mics beat it's value. The SM7B sounds better in worse environments tho

[amber cairn]

I like the ATH 2020's raw vocals more than the 7B generally. But it really depends on the vocal qualities of the user/artist

[tawdry rapids]

yea, it definitely does

[tawdry rapids]

I DIDNT SEE FREE BRUH, yes that is POGGERS

[vapid smelt]

Guess it is epos now

[night heron]

you’re not gonna get that big youtuber or radio sound without processing a microphone and using EQ

no mic sounds like that stock, literally none

[tawdry rapids]

they really dont tho, theyre usable, but thats about it

[amber cairn]

i tried out an epos whatever-it-is pro and the voice signal was very compressed and trebble-y

[swift idol]

As a video editor for a few YT channels, can confirm a lot of post processing goes into audio.

[tawdry rapids]

you should more consider streamers and not YT channels

for streaming you still use EQ even on high quality mics, but less processing goes into it

[gilded quest]

ever since sennheiser got bought i feel like their products have gotten worse

[tawdry rapids]

same thing goes for AKG

[amber cairn]

Lol does akg even exist anymore?

[tawdry rapids]

not really omegalol

[vapid smelt]

on more then a few occasions people asked if I was using a real standalone mic in gaming lobbies

[tawdry rapids]

people dont ask me, i get compliments on how nice my mic sounds and thats about it

probably because its obvious im using a standalone mic

[amber cairn]

but does your standalone mic have RGB?

[tawdry rapids]

YES!

because i use a GoXLR

[amber cairn]

lol

ngl the goxlr looks fun, like the little soundboard they've integrated

[gilded quest]

dam samsung

[amber cairn]

does samsung even make over-ear headphones under the samsung brand? seems like a bit of a waste to not release anything in that segment

[tawdry rapids]

its useful, it may not be the best DAC, but the difference is just too minimal, i also have a T.N.T. amp anyways, so the DAC quality isnt that important at the high end

[amber cairn]

is the goxlr too weak to push your cans? thought it'd at least push upto 600 ohm considering it's a "pro grade" device

[tawdry rapids]

oh no the amps for the mic, i use Meze 99 Noirs, so the interface can easily push the headphones

with dynamic mics, an amp is very helpful

[night heron]

goxlr is definitely not pro grade

and the headphone output on all audio interfaces are actually awful compared to a separate $100 amp

goxlr is just an all in one solution for a wealthy consumer

[gaunt hawk]

wtf is "barding" software

[amber cairn]

eeeeeeeeeh

[gaunt hawk]

Was in a call and some dude tried to sell us discord nitro and said he gets them by "barding" dont know how you spell it he just said that

[polar fern]

Man I didn’t know the basic flip market was still a thing! https://www.slashgear.com/920229/the-reason-verizon-is-surprising-some-subscribers-with-a-free-phone/

[night heron]

it is

[tawdry rapids]

i got mine for the price of a goXLR mini, so im not complaining

[night heron]

W discount

[polar fern]

A bard is like a poet/playwright

[tawdry rapids]

also yea a seperate amp is just way better

i kinda wanna get that tube amp from Schiit

[night heron]

the lyr 3?

[tawdry rapids]

no the small one

[polar fern]

Tube amp why?

[tawdry rapids]

because why not?

[polar fern]

For what?

[tawdry rapids]

headphones

[night heron]

oh the vali

[tawdry rapids]

ye that

[night heron]

i thought the vali was only a preamp but i was wrong

[polar fern]

Waste of money.

[night heron]

waste is relative

[tawdry rapids]

yea so?

[night heron]

if it brings them joy it isn’t a waste

money:happiness is just as important as money:performance

[tawdry rapids]

i like nice sounding things, also tube amps are interesting

[night heron]

i use a “tube” amp for my speakers at my desk

tube preamp with class d solid state power amp

[gilded quest]

verizon has been offering some crazy trade-in deals on old and broken phones in the past few years. They really want to get people off 3G, and ideally on 5G capable devices

[polar fern]

Tubes are far more fragile and prone to failure & manufacturing defects.

[tawdry rapids]

@polar fern you'd probably see 1300$ worth of PC cooling stuff a waste of money too for 1 PC

[night heron]

can’t you reuse basically all water cooling gear except the waterblocks

for a long time

[polar fern]

Yeah. My girlfriend recently got a vz deal - was shockingly affordable.

[tawdry rapids]

you can, also you can reuse the CPU waterblock for a very long time too

but, this price literally excludes waterblocks

its 3 radiators, a distroplate, and a shit ton of fittings

[night heron]

if i was to spend $1300-2000 on water cooling gear i’d delid my cpu too

and run a 7950xt or 4090Ti

[polar fern]

My whole setup maxes at 700 watts, why would I need that much cooling

[night heron]

7950xt is looking mighty juicy from the rumors

when’s the official announcement?

[tawdry rapids]

im waiting for 7000 X3D, in the mean time running my 5950X, and no i wont ever be buying Nvidia the way they're going about their business

[night heron]

of radeon 7000 not the 7950xt in particular

[night heron]

same i’m also waiting for 7000x3d

[tawdry rapids]

7900 XTX btw, not 950XT

950XT name is most likely reserved for refresh

[night heron]

there was a 6900xtx that never left engineering sample phase

i don’t expect there to be a 7900xtx for sale

[sonic barn]

who tf even buys a phone through a phone plan

[polar fern]

I mean pretending you’re into tech but actually just buying stuff to brag about is a thing too I guess. Every market & product segment has those folks - especially cycling

[sonic barn]

I buy used phones that are new after a year

no tax and like 4x less price

ez

[tawdry rapids]

its too soon to announcements for leaks to be untrue for cards that are being announced

tomorrow we'll find out tho

[polar fern]

She didn’t pay for her phone. Was free. No monthly instalments either.

[night heron]

i have a 13 pro max and intend to keep it until either the battery is nuked or i need more storage

[sonic barn]

although I haven't found a reason to upgrade from my pixel 3 yet

[night heron]

is tomorrow the announcement

[tawdry rapids]

yes

[night heron]

W

[sonic barn]

but she will have to pay for a verizon plan

prob an expensive data plan

[polar fern]

Nope.

[tawdry rapids]

and 7900XTX is basically confirmed to be the flagship, with 24 gigs and more than double the CUs of the 6900XT

[sonic barn]

companies don't ever give stuff for free like that

[night heron]

more than double the core count and another 100w on the power limit

should be monstrous

[hoary furnace]

you can be notified on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Wfzm673cI

[polar fern]

Instead of sitting back & keyboard warrioring you could ask about the details

[hoary furnace]

and the LTT commentary stream is going to be here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

[tawdry rapids]

its projected to be faster in rasterization than the 4090 by a decent margin, which does line up with RDNAs uplifts compared to Nvidias

[sonic barn]

Because most of the existing CDMA users are on older flip phones, it would make the transition to these newer phones much more straightforward.

[vapid plume]

But what is it gonna cost...

[gilded quest]

so we're thinking its gonna be 7900XTX and 7900XT, instead of 7900XT and 7900

[night heron]

4k240hz gaming is actually completely reasonable with a 4090/7900xt now which is awesome

[gilded quest]

just need more 4k240 monitors now

[tawdry rapids]

yes, i think? im not sure if there was a 7900 in the charts

[umbral jackal]

At lower settings, yeah

[gilded quest]

especially dp2.0/2.1 monitors

[polar fern]

Her plan is $80/month for 2 lines of unlimited data/minutes/messages. Pretty good for us carrier plans

[night heron]

yeah we need some more 4k240hz monitors that aren’t curved va panels

[vapid smelt]

Expect with 1 display port the 4090 only supports 4k at 120hz

[night heron]

and don’t use dp1.4 with DSC

[gilded quest]

cooler master just introduced an interesting monitor. I think asus has one with the same panel

[tawdry rapids]

also Verizon does give out free devices, LOCKED to Verizon

[hoary furnace]

I was just about to write that

[polar fern]

It’s not locked either.

[night heron]

displayport 1.4 can do 4k240hz 10bit with display stream compression

[tawdry rapids]

now i dont believe you

[night heron]

that’s how the odyssey neo g8 can exist

[polar fern]

Y’all don’t even know what you’re talking about JFC

[gilded quest]

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/setup/monitors/tempest-gp27u/

[hoary furnace]

Yes, lets get a nice 10bit 4k display and compress it

[night heron]

but it’s stupid nvidia didn’t put 2.0 on their new cards

[hoary furnace]

unless DSC is lossless?

[gilded quest]

yes*

DSC is visually lossless

but adds latency

[tawdry rapids]

without seeing the fine print of your agreement, ill be a skeptic, because Verizon hands out locked phones, I've never seen someone recieve one that isn't locked

[hoary furnace]

Ah okay, thanks

[gilded quest]

since it has to compress and decompress

[hoary furnace]

yeah, makes sense

[polar fern]

Pretend for a moment that I am not five years old and I’ve had a phone plan for the past 20 years.

[night heron]

dsc is neat and makes sense

[polar fern]

Yeesh

[hoary furnace]

Do we know how much latency roughly?

[gilded quest]

which is why it sucks 40-series doesn't have DP2.0

[gilded quest]

im curious too

[night heron]

we compress our movies and media hundreds of times over but never thought to compress the video stream itself

[tawdry rapids]

that, doesnt make a difference, my parents have had phone plans for 30 years or so? and?

I've had a plan for like 10?

[polar fern]

Actually we have thought to compress the video stream but there wasn’t the processing power

[hoary furnace]

A random redditor says its in the microseconds

[gilded quest]

welp

[tawdry rapids]

RX 7000 is supposed to have DP 2.0 on the flagship atleast

[gilded quest]

probably not enough to be noticeable in most circumstances

[hoary furnace]

Yeah I hope so

But there are no DP 2.0 monitors yet, but probably because there are no DP 2.0 GPUs

Oh wait, yes there are...

[polar fern]

See the movie “anti trust” they mention compressing the broadcast vs the image/video.

[gilded quest]

i'd hope its on the whole product line
however, since nvidia didn;t use it, im worried it will hinder the adoption of dp2.0 on monitors

[hoary furnace]

agreed

[night heron]

4k240hz oled is going to be a reality so soon

[hoary furnace]

nvidia bad

[night heron]

i’m stoked

[polar fern]

Jeeze talk about a line of products that I’m not ever going to buy.

[hoary furnace]

bad power connectors, bad monitor connectors 👎 nvidia

[gilded quest]

lol

[tawdry rapids]

NoVideo (Connectors)

[gilded quest]

they also gimped GSync Ultimate requirements

[night heron]

no nvidia november

if you use a nvidia gpu stop

[hoary furnace]

oh no

[polar fern]

If I had the kind of money that this stuff cost I would go and get my teeth fixed at the dentist instead

[gilded quest]

i shall use pascal until it dies

[hoary furnace]

that is reasonable

[polar fern]

Cries in US healthcare

[night heron]

pascal was the end of reasonably priced flagship gpus

[hoary furnace]

i will use pascal until i hand it down, and then it can keep going til it dies in the fiances machine

[gilded quest]

realistically, im gonna upgrade next year

[night heron]

i went from a 1070 to a 6900xt and the performance increase was absolutely monstrous

[gilded quest]

unless pricing is really dumb again

[night heron]

and i prefer amds drivers so double win

i’m not using RT until games are made from the ground up only supporting RT

not glorified shaders added on after

[polar fern]

It is very likely that instead of upgrading components on my Lenovo I may end up buying an entirely new SFF model and giving the one I have to my brother.

[night heron]

based and charitable pilled

i wanted to give my 1070 to my little cousin but i found out he’s grounded for like 6 months

skill issue tbh

[polar fern]

It’s zen+ too outdated. Costing more to upgrade piece by piece vs new at this point

[vapid plume]

This is literally the first time I ever saw someone say 'skill issue' here

[night heron]

it is a skill issue

his grades are low because he’s lazy like me

[hoary furnace]

i think janraru for me, because thats when i get extra money coming in

and I game at 4k 60 so the 1080ti isn't great

[vapid plume]

So you have a skill issue too...

[night heron]

if you disable antialiasing and run the game with max textures, everything else on medium, then you should be able to play at 60fps in most games

[gilded quest]

lol depends when i get a job again

[night heron]

yeah but i’m graduated now so it’s okay

[vapid plume]

Ah

[night heron]

im typing this on my lunch break at work

[hoary furnace]

Yeah, I can play most games at native res, CP2077 i dropped to 1080p, I just would rather not have to fiddle as much

Stutters mostly annoy me, and I havent been able to track the buggers down yet

[night heron]

the upcoming 7900xt might be your reason to upgrade

[hoary furnace]

That is what I am hoping, I've got the event saved

[sonic barn]

1060 is like the 750ti in support but way longer

[hoary furnace]

lines up nicely for a January paycheck

[night heron]

750ti is a goated graphics card

[hoary furnace]

or a december credit card purchase 😄

[sonic barn]

1060 is now the goated card

[night heron]

runs with like 50w, is supported on basically every os and platform

[sonic barn]

you get studio drivers too

[night heron]

has analog video outputs for crts

[sonic barn]

isn't the 970 also with that

[night heron]

yeah anything maxwell or older

but there is no 950ti so the 750ti is the newest low profile low power card with analog outputs

[sonic barn]

I like how the maxwell and keplar 960/860 where the same card

for the laptops

[night heron]

yeah that era of laptop gpus was stupid

they got sooooo much more powerful with pascal it was unreal

[vapid plume]

Right after apple switched to amd, stupid decision...

[teal estuary]

notable, thats still a maxwell card

[polar fern]

Bbl

[teal estuary]

GM107 iirc

[timber lynx]

Do you guys have a geforce 390ti? By any chance?

[night heron]

yeah i have fifty 3090Ti cards in the box unopened rn

[vapid plume]

Why

[night heron]

i don’t actually

the best card i own is my 6900xt

[timber lynx]

I mean 390ti

[night heron]

i don’t think a 390ti exists

[vapid plume]

That's what I thought

[night heron]

oh interesting

[sonic barn]

laptop gpus are a joke still

why would you get a laptop that still has to be left with an outlet 99% of the time you want to use the gpu

I just remote into my pc back home

[vapid plume]

Mac's don't have to be plugged in...

[sonic barn]

they do

[vapid plume]

Not as often

[sonic barn]

they just have 99wh batteries

for the pros with the amd cards

the m1 is different though

but that's arm

[vapid plume]

What's wrong with arm

[hoary furnace]

nothing fundamentally

[sonic barn]

software support

also that rosetta2 emulates x86 and eats at your ssd through swap memory

and ram

[vapid plume]

They fixed that right?

[sonic barn]

they can't

its what rosetta is supposed to do

anything that isn't natively built for arm will use it

[vapid plume]

I know that

but the swap issues

[sonic barn]

I know firefox is still messed up

and discord

[teal estuary]

i find it funny that firefox doesnt runnnatively on M1, because it does run natively on ARM on Linux

[sonic barn]

only canary runs natively on m1

[vapid plume]

And windows too

[sonic barn]

last I checked this stuff was 2021 though

because that was when I was thinking about getting one

[teal estuary]

who cares about windows, linux FTW

[sonic barn]

got a thinkpad instead

[mossy meteor]

Guys quick question, iphone syncing to windows 10, not a thing right?

[vapid plume]

You have to get itunes

[mossy meteor]

Cause in windows settings it literally says ''Add your android device or iphone to continiue'' but it only shows android after i hit ''add a phone''

[vapid plume]

Do you want to make backups?

[mossy meteor]

Nah i meant more just to like receive notifications and stuff

Nope, just notification syncing.

[vapid plume]

Ah, don't think that's possible

[mossy meteor]

Dang it

Ty anyway ❤️

[vapid plume]

Np

[hoary furnace]

that's not fundamentally an issue with arm, that's an issue with each software support, or emulation layers

[vapid plume]

My teachers have those and the trackpads are already pretty worn

Not even a year old

[sonic barn]

trackpoint warriors

its like 1$ to replace the nub

you can use the thinkpad with gloves on using that and hardware buttons

imo thinkpad line is better than framework

[vapid plume]

Framework was kinda expensive last time I checked

[sonic barn]

better durability, access to cheap part replacements and warranties if your thinkpad dies due to extreme cold or something

thinkpads are expensive if you don't get them used or on sale

but they allow you to buy warranties long out of the lifespan

[vapid plume]

'buy' warranty?

[sonic barn]

like mine ended in 2021 and I can still buy a 3 yr warranty

for the laptop yeah

[vapid plume]

so you can break it, buy a warranty and get it replaced?

[sonic barn]

there's a reason the new x13, t14s and x1 carbon all look the same for multiple generations

[full fossil]

how do i install a dvd oem windows 10 pro disk?

[sonic barn]

yep

you have to wait 60 days though

until you can claim warranty damage

[vapid plume]

There's always a catch...

[vapid plume]

without a cd drive?

[full fossil]

ye

[vapid plume]

Do you have anything with a cd drive?

[sonic barn]

however they have the schematics all available and part numbers there. quick search on ebay gives you the parts or you can call lenovo for the part pricing and order from them

[full fossil]

nope

my old pc i could download windows onto a usb tho

[vapid plume]

Why do you need an oem specific one

those just come with bloat

[full fossil]

idk it says oem idk what that means

[sonic barn]

others don't offer that though

lenovo and hp are the only ones

[vapid plume]

from the manufacturer

[sonic barn]

also maybe toughbook idk about them

dell used to have it

[vapid plume]

just make a usb drive

[sonic barn]

hp are built cheap, even for their elitebooks

[full fossil]

should i just buy a win10 pro usb

[amber yacht]

no

[sonic barn]

windows is free

[amber yacht]

just download it to an usb stick thru software

[sonic barn]

rufus + 8gb ssd

[full fossil]

an activated copy lmfao

[vapid plume]

good chance you got a sticker on that pc if it's a prebuild

[amber yacht]

steal the key from your schools laptop

[vapid plume]

with a code

[amber yacht]

it is what it is

[full fossil]

im building a new one

[sonic barn]

https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php

[vapid plume]

kuch...

[sonic barn]

get windows china license

[full fossil]

i aint visiting a sketch site lmfao

"adguard" wtf

[sonic barn]

its a mirror of microsoft's

[full fossil]

already have uBO

[sonic barn]

hosted in russia

[full fossil]

russia? damn bro really made me confident there

[sonic barn]

speeds are faster than microsoft for iso downloads

[amber yacht]

russia 💀

[vapid plume]

Then it's certainly good...

[full fossil]

cant wait to turn my pc into a russian malware dumpster 💀

[sonic barn]

you know russia controls the majority of pirated software

through hosting nodes and such

[vapid plume]

Yea

[full fossil]

making it even more sketchy

[sonic barn]

go on tpb and you'll see that majority of trackers are russian

[vapid plume]

@full fossil so you have an installer dvd from ?

[full fossil]

im looking on pcpartpicker and tryna see if i should get usb win10 pro or dvd win10 pro, do i need to get a separate drive for the CD version?

[sonic barn]

ask ur friend for their license

[amber yacht]

why do you want an win 10 pro tho

every one of em is the same

[sonic barn]

you can share a license of windows

[vapid plume]

cuz home sucks

[sonic barn]

regedit and copy

[full fossil]

lmao no

[sonic barn]

I could share mine from my thinkpad

win10 pro

[amber yacht]

been usin home for idk 10 years soon (win7 too)

[vapid plume]

I have a few xp licenses

[amber yacht]

i have an useless win 10 code layin around

from some asus laptop

[full fossil]

should i just run linux lmfao

[vapid plume]

can you transfer those to win 10?

[sonic barn]

you can also get windows 7 for free, then upgrade to windows 10 and you get a license for free even without a licensed copy of windows 7

[amber yacht]

at least you can win 7 licenses

win 7 better than 10 tho

[sonic barn]

rip ie

[vapid plume]

wait for real?

[sonic barn]

yeah

did it before off a laptop

[vapid plume]

omg

[sonic barn]

it was to windows 10

free home license

[vapid plume]

I gotta do that on my mac

it can only boot win 7 installers anyway

[full fossil]

should i get windows 10 or windows 11 and home or pro?

[vapid plume]

What cpu do you use/ are you planning to use?

[swift idol]

Doesn't really matter unless you run a 12th gen or 13th gen Intel

[full fossil]

12900k i9

[swift idol]

Windows 11

[full fossil]

this is the setup im planning to buy https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VfGy3y

[amber yacht]

man im still runnin 4670k

[full fossil]

why win11? it has so much bloatware right

[vapid plume]

11 has scheduling issues right or is that only amd?

[swift idol]

11 and 10 have the same bloat. Also the scheduler for the P and E cores is better on 11.

[full fossil]

i mean both 10 and 11 have bloat but isnt 10 better for raw performance and general use

[vapid plume]

man im still runnin core2duo

[full fossil]

win11 just looks worse to me hm

[swift idol]

If you don't want to use it, go with an AMD build else you will just be leaving performance on the table and Windows 11 handles P and E cores on Intel much better than windows 10.

[full fossil]

fine id rather use 11 than amd stuff lol

home or pro?

[sonic barn]

I run kde neon and windows 11. Windows 11 is my main pc, Linux is my laptop

[swift idol]

Pro because you can pick up a key for like £3

[vapid plume]

tried linux on my laptop and nvidia drivers are just a pile of garbage

[sonic barn]

Just run Linux and remote in

[vapid plume]

my school has remote desktop ports blocked...

[sonic barn]

I use riseupvpn

[vapid plume]

don't want to use a vpn

[full fossil]

what are advantages of pro over home

[buoyant light]

wont there be a ltt vid posted in a few mins?

[sonic barn]

Bitlocker

[full fossil]

wat

[vapid plume]

some things aren't hidden away

[buoyant light]

more max ram

[full fossil]

wdym by more max ram?

[sonic barn]

Bitlocker is encrypted

[vapid plume]

hyper-v is a pro thing too right?

[buoyant light]

the maximum ram supported by os goes from 128GB to 2TB

[sonic barn]

No one runs a server off a windows pc

[full fossil]

wdym supported though?

[vapid plume]

LTT did

[teal estuary]

i do

[sonic barn]

Smh

[swift idol]

Home has a limit of 128gb ram and Pro has a limit of 2tb ram.

[amber yacht]

own that one too

[teal estuary]

the software requires windows, im not happy about it either

[full fossil]

yes but what is this limit though? like how much ram the OS takes up? or just the amount of storage you can have?

[vapid plume]

also, home requires a microsoft account

[sonic barn]

Windows sucks for maintaining

[swift idol]

Storage depends on what ever the biggest drive you can buy. The limit is constrained to hardware.

Windows takes up about 3.5 - 4 gb RAM out the box

[teal estuary]

oh dont get me wrong, all my other servers run linux

and so does my personal machine

[vapid plume]

sounds like you got a lot of servers

[full fossil]

yes but what is the "limit"? what does it do

[swift idol]

Maximum you can have

[teal estuary]

i say "servers" here including VMs

[vapid plume]

ah

[full fossil]

im running home on a 1tb drive tho 🤨

[swift idol]

RAM and storage aren't the same....

[amber yacht]

didnt he say ram

[teal estuary]

there are two machines (two locations) on though, and 4 more not running

[full fossil]

oh im stupid

my bad LMFAO

[amber yacht]

Isn't 128gb of RAM enough anyway..

[teal estuary]

no

[vapid plume]

yes

[amber yacht]

never needed more than 16

[full fossil]

yeah noone needs 2 TB like holy crap

[teal estuary]

servers need 2TB

[amber yacht]

well, yes

[vapid plume]

yes but he doesn't want a server

[full fossil]

yes but i dont think im using a freaking server as a firefox bootloader

[amber yacht]

thats why its called home edition i think

[swift idol]

A server can be anything that serves a function. A "server" could be a raspberry Pi. Server doesn't mean anything special really.

[teal estuary]

im sitting at about 30GB used right now, without really running anything

[vapid plume]

then you're doing something wrong

[amber yacht]

im at 5,3 without doing anything special

[teal estuary]

ill see what it goes up to when i get the next compile running

[vapid plume]

I'm at 5.8

[swift idol]

32Gb of ram in use for me RN editing a video for a client. 👀

[teal estuary]

i have run into swap with 288GB in a machine though

[amber yacht]

i should buy a new cpu

[teal estuary]

i think total RAM usage by that app hit like 500GB

[amber yacht]

fr this madlad i5 wont last too long with modern games

[swift idol]

Does your current PC do everything you want it too ?

[amber yacht]

yes, but considering buying more requiring games

[swift idol]

No need to upgrade RN in that case

[amber yacht]

it wont run them too good

[vapid plume]

but isn't that a gpu bottleneck

[amber yacht]

been thinkin bout buyin one for 2 years at least 💀

rx 580 8gb

it runs well at least in my opinion

[swift idol]

I use a 3700x with a 3090. Seems a bit of a waste but eh, don't really use it for gaming

[vapid plume]

don't really know that card tbh

[amber yacht]

6 cores would be really nice

and more threads

is a 3600 even worth its price today

[swift idol]

Might as well get a 5600

[amber yacht]

i see

[umbral pagoda]

TIL TechLinked is now on Google News Briefings

[amber yacht]

havent really been into computers for the last 2 years

only engines and such

[echo ridge]

How much is the 3600

If its above 80 get a 5600

[amber yacht]

well the first 3600 i saw was still over 200€

[echo ridge]

Where do you lige

[swift idol]

Yeah get the 5600 lol

[amber yacht]

finland

5600 is legit the same price

[echo ridge]

https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/product/PgcG3C/amd-ryzen-5-5600-36-ghz-6-core-processor-100-100000927box

[amber yacht]

woah cheap

what type of motherboard does it need

[teal estuary]

what board do you have?

[amber yacht]

z-87k

[echo ridge]

Any am4 board

[teal estuary]

full model

[amber yacht]

asus z-87k

[teal estuary]

no, not quite any afaik

[echo ridge]

Most

[amber yacht]

man it aint supported does it matter

[teal estuary]

i thought you already had an AM4 board

[amber yacht]

naw

[teal estuary]

you need to buy one anyway

[amber yacht]

yes, indeed

[teal estuary]

yea, most AM4 boards support it, if buying used id recommend getting one with bios flashback support

[swift idol]

If you do get an AM4 board for the 5600 double check the bios on anything below a x500 motherboard, So if you get an B450 or X470 make sure it comes with the updated bios or one with flash back or qflash

[teal estuary]

for new, you should be fine

[amber yacht]

cheapest one possible ofc

[echo ridge]

https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/product/VyBhP6/gigabyte-b550m-ds3h-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-ds3h

[amber yacht]

alright

[teal estuary]

even a 500 series bios can not support 5000 series

500 series launched with ryzen 3000, not ryzen 5000

[echo ridge]

Should be updated

[swift idol]

https://tenor.com/view/think-emoji-thonk-meme-gif-11987870

[teal estuary]

should be, but so should 400 series

[echo ridge]

And the one I sent has flashback

[teal estuary]

if it has flashback, then who cares

[swift idol]

I think flashback is worth it for peace of mind anyway, sometimes a bios update is needed and the peace of mind if anything goes wrong makes it a worth while feature even if it supports the CPU out the box. Just my opinion

[teal estuary]

oh, yes, that and/or dual bios

i much prefer the "and" there

[amber yacht]

man 500€ for this

not even sure if its worth it, can buy a whole car with that money

[swift idol]

You could always go to the used market for older generation parts.

[amber yacht]

highly doubt that there any for sale right now

[swift idol]

With everyone upgrading I would say there should be more.

[amber yacht]

i dont really think that people are upgrading right now here

electricity is kinda expensive

[swift idol]

Same in the UK tbh. Gotta love a good crisis

[amber yacht]

we are in the stock pricing market right now so the price is fluctuating a lot

without it it would be around 30cnt/kwh

[swift idol]

Nah it's just current world event's lock down debt and inflation out of control. Typical recession, now's a great time to buy stocks on sale 👀

[amber yacht]

our cottage has 4,2cnt/kwh till 2024

how much does petrol/fuel cost in the UK?

[swift idol]

I think I pay about £0.35 which is about 41 cent per Kwh

[amber yacht]

pretty expensive in my opinion, could be way worse tho

[swift idol]

That's just out of control here €2.22 a litre

is the average

[amber yacht]

we got 95 almost at 2€, 98 at 2,24 and diesel is the most expensive

for somewhat reason

[hollow zealot]

God I feel bad for anyone that wants best of the best for PC parts over there
It's possible to draw 1kw sustained in a consumer PC now isn't it?

[teal estuary]

thats about my 24/7 average power rate, peaks at 64c/kwh iirc

[amber yacht]

we had 2,8€/l for petrol before summer 💀

[wispy marsh]

Hey

What’s the Canadian consensus on premarital handholding?

[swift idol]

Not Candian but I will side with what ever you want for $100

[lilac sage]

its legit

handholding isnt considered a public Display of Affection

nvm I am so wrong

it is a PDA. wtf

should still be fine since thats like lowest tier i nthe hierarchy of PDAs

[clever cape]

🤷 Guess I cant hold hands with Dennis at LTX 23...

[vapid plume]

Why isn’t dennis in more vids

[clever cape]

i mean, CSF

[vapid plume]

Csf?

[clever cape]

channel super fun

[vapid plume]

Ah

Is it just me or is Dan kinda gone

[clever cape]

I'll be honest Idk who that is... Too many on the crew now

[vapid plume]

The audio guy

[clever cape]

OHHHHHHH yeah he had the bad speaker setup for the upgrade

[vapid plume]

This guy: https://youtu.be/LQ4xNJ7L3kE

Since when don’t they have previews

[clever cape]

Infastructure and Technical Specialist. He was probably just curious about hosting a couple episodes.

[vapid plume]

I liked his style of presenting

[clever cape]

👍

[vapid plume]

Good balance with Linus’ chaotic style

[pliant karma]

dual bios card lol originally didn't care but now I wished it came with my 3070 lol. Next gpu though will def have it

[polar fern]

Looks like I’m getting the gen 2 M75 if I can find the $

$1300 for what I need.

Family member would likely have to do a payment plan

[teal estuary]

GPUs are a lot easier to reflash afaik

just need another card to boot the system with

[pliant karma]

lol cpu do be ripping away with handbrake today. But hey it's doing a good job at compressing my flight sim videos which are kinda big like 10/15gb per video

[wispy marsh]

Hey, there’s someone missing from the page

https://linusmediagroup.com/#

I can’t find Arlo inside

[vapid plume]

What fps does it get at which codec?

[slate wing]

I'm curious as well. more specifically, type of source content, resolution, encoder and preset.

[delicate solstice]

Is it just me or did Cnet steal this?

[vapid plume]

lmao

nice simple design though

[slate wing]

Fugly

[pliant karma]

regular h.264 but just downing the footage from 4k to 1080p to save space lol self explanatory to why I am doing this

[vapid plume]

👍🏻

[delicate solstice]

It's only 1 TB though

That's hardly anything

[vapid plume]

yeah...

[pliant karma]

could be worst but 1tb of my ssd is used by this

[vapid plume]

why do you save it?

[pliant karma]

back log I like to keep record of my flights I do

[vapid plume]

ah

[slate wing]

why not HEVC

[vapid plume]

why not VVC...

[pliant karma]

OBS don't have that I think

[dull granite]

linus is amazon shilling?

bruh

[slate wing]

Dead format

[vapid plume]

it's brand new

but companies support av1 more atm

[slate wing]

It's licencing hell, it's currently slower then av1 at the same efficiency for the range it covers, and the only existing good encoder is also licencing hell as well

[vapid plume]

wait licensing?

[slate wing]

Pardon?

[vapid plume]

?

currently reading about it...

[slate wing]

Avif and jxl might also be hell soon because Microsoft got a unjust patent on a derivative of ANS coding which both use. It's very sad

[orchid swallow]

does a cpus hairline matter anymore

how many toes should it hav

mostly looking for something for productivity

[fresh flower]

Hey all just wondering how long it usually takes the boys to ship the screwdriver? It's been a week with no update

Guys, are mouse recorders trusted? If so, which ones do i use?

[wispy marsh]

Any one that doesn’t involve being used as a macro that would get you banned in games that you play

[mossy meteor]

It's not bannable here, do you have eany suggestions?

[tidal python]

Which is the best CPU for 400$?

[wispy marsh]

Idk

[wispy marsh]

5800X3D is $389 or something

[tidal python]

Price on that went up

[wispy marsh]

If you want good multithreaded performance, a $400 xeon with 28c48t might do good

[orchid swallow]

it has 16 toes

[fresh flower]

idk if 13700k is better than a 5800X3D

[orchid swallow]

wow

[fresh flower]

but it's worth comparing

@tidal python what are you looking for in a CPU

what's the end goal for the computer?

[lime spire]

just found a 3060 for 100 euro tf (ebay)

[fresh flower]

holy crap get it

[mossy meteor]

Yeah that seems leigt

[fresh flower]

you can at least flip that sucker

[mossy meteor]

Legit

[lime spire]

i mean decent photos three other cards too idk

he has

900 sales 98% positive

[dull granite]

my child wont make shitty 'buyers guide' vidoes

[distant wren]

Who is your child, and what video's is he making?

problem with the tech quickie and starlink launching more satellites as a claim that it'll increase bandwidth is inherently wrong. you need more ground stations to communicate with and you need satellites that can communicate with each other at higher throughput. which is why they're trying to launch those bigger satellites into orbit with that bigger rocket.

[mossy meteor]

guys i just enabled windows sandbox through ''turn on programs and features'' in the windows searchbar

How do i get acess to the sandbox?

[spiral zodiac]

those ground stations the satellites communicate with also need more bandwidth with the internet as a whole.

[distant wren]

This seems like a google question

[spiral zodiac]

basically the entire starlink network will need replacing, from ground stations to satellites in order to increase bandwidth.

[lilac sage]

btw. RIP ground telescopes

[sonic barn]

starlink as a concept is good, practically it isn't

they could've built cellular towers everywhere

[lime spire]

i personally think that elon just has too much money and is now just spending it without really thinking much about it

[sonic barn]

they gotta replace starlink every 5 years or 10 for orbits

[fresh flower]

elon doesn't care about the consequences of starlink tho

starlink is an ego project

[lilac sage]

I remember in 2020 my astronomy teacher was talking about how starlink was ruining the images of ground based telescopes. needless to say he was right.

[jovial depot]

i wish there was a recording software for us bad laptop gamers where recording doesn't severely decrease fps and doesn't give the user severe lag 😭 😭

[fresh flower]

i hope you mean astronomy- yeah

[sonic barn]

I was about to say

[lilac sage]

ye I mix them up often

[sonic barn]

very different things

[fresh flower]

there is. Discord streaming

[lilac sage]

iphone camera

[pliant karma]

oh boy I am taking astronomy next sem so gonna be fun lol

[sonic barn]

one studies the stars vs sudo science

[fresh flower]

the ol DSP classic

[jovial depot]

that's worse 💀

[jovial depot]

i use an android 😭

[lilac sage]

xbox game bar works fine

i havent had a real issue with it

[fresh flower]

yeah despite microsoft, gamebar is pretty lightweight

[pliant karma]

same lol but then again I use obs cause multple audio sources

[jovial depot]

its doesnt.....

i get lag

[lilac sage]

is your laptop older than windows 10?

[fresh flower]

geforce experience has a good recording software that records multiple sources

[sonic barn]

shadowplay is good for streaming also

you can configure bit rate and all that while using nvidia rtx features

[jovial depot]

no, i just recently upgraded to win 11 when my dad forced me to

[sonic barn]

like rtx voice and whatever they call the others

[fresh flower]

i only know because I was recording guitar hero footage and the GBA Jet Set Radio soundtrack came through from the vid I was watching

[lilac sage]

he was forced to use windows 11

[sonic barn]

windows 11 ui sucks

[lilac sage]

I would fresh install windows.

[sonic barn]

I hate rounded stuff

[lilac sage]

windows upgrades never go well

[pliant karma]

lol I went into my bios and turn off my tpm so hehe no more pestering update to win 11

[sonic barn]

everything is going round

[fresh flower]

windows 11 is not great for laptops

[lilac sage]

lol I did that too

[sonic barn]

it doesn't look clean

[pliant karma]

yay

Though it did mess with my login etc but that's fixed now

[full fossil]

[fresh flower]

I just use ghost spectre

removes all the windows 11 bloat

i have to manually install the bloat I want

[empty carbon]

Nah I'm closer to park city

[fresh flower]

very nice area if utah

[pliant karma]

there was some tool that debloated win 10 so you can make a usb installer without all the bloat. Forgot lol

[fresh flower]

i send people to park city for vacations all the time

[pliant karma]

but I used it when I was loading laptops for some of my mom's co-workers/relatives

[fresh flower]

rufus has a checkbox to remove safeboot and all that

[pliant karma]

ohh

[empty carbon]

Park city is nice but it's a lot more crowded than it was a few years ago

[pliant karma]

I only had one relative complain cause my install didn't have some of the default MS stuff he wants but my say was deal with it

[sonic barn]

you can also use the terminal and download/convert iso to format for usb

[fresh flower]

sure but i assume people don't typically use terminal

I can use it and I still prefer having a gui

[idle skiff]

I feel like a PC Gaming Holiday guide should be more on the "cool harmless accessories and whatnot" side for non-computer nerds to buy gifts for PC ppl

That video today felt more like "here's what you can do within a range of cost" which I feel like they do every couple months. I don't dislike that kind of video just wish it was marketed a little differently

I'm not complaining lol LTT knows what they're doing lol

[near nebula]

is it me or did the $2,000 pc build not include a GPU?

ahh, it's shown but only very briefly, the PowerColor RX 6950 XT

[sonic barn]

imo we need less consumerism stuff

[idle skiff]

That's fair

Plus sponsored by Amazon it's kinda hard to do a video that's not what they did lol

[sonic barn]

rufus is faster though I think

[gilded quest]

finally, your first good take

[sonic barn]

bruh

what makes my other takes not good

wtf https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/uk-natural-gas

183 from 5 days ago to 333

almost 2x

[forest valve]

My laptop came with windows 11 and I use it for school I like it for productivity

For gaming I prefer windows 10

[orchid swallow]

my cpu has these weird hairs on it when i take it out of the package

do they need to be combed first

they stick straight up

[sonic barn]

you gotta comb your hair with it first before putting in socket

[fresh flower]

okay windows 11 is not great for GAMING on laptops

productivity wise it's probably great

[sonic barn]

if you break a pin you have to bite down on it

[sonic barn]

auto hdr wdym

windows 11 is the best for gaming

[fresh flower]

okay but it's gaming on a laptop

windows 11 is resource heavy enough for laptops not designed for it

like my 10th gen intel laptop just ate the biggest shit when i jumped to 11

so it's a linuxbook now

[sonic barn]

don't game on linux

vulkan isn't there yet

[fresh flower]

not saying that

i'm saying windows 11 was a buggy unresponsive mess on a 10th gen portable processor

not the best mind you, it was a 10210U i believe?

[sonic barn]

I had a t14s i5 10310u, the thing was fast for what it was

16gb ddr4 3200mhz too

the igpu sucks though

so I sold it for a x13 gen 1 4650u 16gb thinkpad

[fresh flower]

yeahhhhh 10310U only comes with regular ass Intel UHD

not even Iris

[sonic barn]

even undervolting is locked in bios

[fresh flower]

lemme guess

dell?

[sonic barn]

I tried flashing a new bios and it reverted instantly

[sonic barn]

I just said t14s

thinkpad

[fresh flower]

oh
