im of the strict belief that systems shld cater to humans not the other way around, so...im still pretty much gonna blame nvidia for this crap tbh

[manic torrent]

I mean, I think that systems should come 80/90, but people absolutely need to come 10/20

in this case, I absolutely agree, root cause is bad design.

[wheat solstice]

We have consensus

[manic torrent]

I keep saying to people "It should be easier to do it right than wrong"

[wheat solstice]

Write it in the stones

[gaunt cave]

that's a great way to put it

[manic torrent]

if you are making a mistake at work more than once or twice, it's a process problem.

[wheat solstice]

It should be hard to do it wrong

[gaunt cave]

so is everyone agreed at this point about what is wrong with the 4090s ?

[wheat solstice]

Cus it's rarely hard to make it hard to do it wrong

[manic torrent]

(or you are terrible, which is not super common ... but more common than I would prefer)

[manic torrent]

it is though. It requires an understanding of UX, HCI, psychology, physics, etc. It's not something a lot of people can do

I used to think it was easy - but 20 years of experience tells me it isn't, and we need to be realistic about it. I mean, you don't need the person that understands that to do everything, just to work with others and guide them to the right decisions

[wheat solstice]

No
Not for the dudes in charge of designing it
If me, a two time college drop out, can immediately identify something that will cause problems, its in fact RELATIVELY easy for them to make it hard to do it wrong, when they have access to reliability data, tools, and professional peers. I am almost certain that the engineers raised concerns that were dismissed by some corporate talking head that wanted a new connector that fit the aesthetic instead of a proven connector that didn't.

jesus christ it gets worse...Torix is the 2nd or 3rd largest IX in north america (depending on how you count)...and it's also one of the CHEAPEST (As it's a non profit, volunteer run organisation)

Dark mode make less eye hurty

I gaze into its user interface daily

in fact, i even have my rgb on my keyboards set to red, which is very easy on the eyes

I use darkreader, but it's nice when a website offers native dark mode

iPhone 14 is good

iphone 14 killed my brother

[remote comet]

Excuse me what?

[vapid smelt]

the phone from Apple called the iphone 14 Killed his brother

[finite cloud]

Did you expect him to use a Galaxy S22? He runs the Mac Channel. Also he did a review on the 14 recently

[vapid smelt]

he looks like a sony/ Motorola kinda guy

[graceful sonnet]

14 is shit. could've gotten a 13 pro for that price, and he could justify a 14 pro.

[finite cloud]

It’s the same as the 13

The only thing that makes the 14 worse overall is the sim tray

[vapid smelt]

the useless plastic block they replaced it with?

[finite cloud]

Yup

[sonic spruce]

… what if Apple added the option to add external storage

Like microsd

[vapid smelt]

sounds revolutionary

[modern terrace]

to be honest, i've been considering heading to my carrier to see if they have any 13 pro's left in stock and possibly picking one up

i don't care about dynamic island nor the action mode whatevers

[pliant leaf]

Honestly that is probably a good plan

The increase from 12 to 48 megapixels is massive, but it’s only for the main camera and not all 3

[fossil frost]

the increase in megapixels means nothing unless the processing is there to back it up, you can capture all the pixels you want, but if you are bad at pointing the camera at the correct place, or keeping it still, or in low light, or dont tell the camera what type of colour accuracy you want, and there is no post processing, those pixels are useless

you can get better images from a 12mpx camera with good processing, than you can from a 48mpx camera with shit processing

[indigo plume]

looking to build a pc in about 4 months for 1440p any cpu and gpu suggestions

[wheat solstice]

Back in my day we talked about sensor size

[fossil frost]

sensor size is irrelevant on its own, its only relevant in comparison to lens size

and you can have more sensitive sensors, at a smaller size, which gather just as much light as a larger sensor

[vapid smelt]

how was bingo night old timer

[wheat solstice]

Pretty good

You ever heard of a pinhole camera kiddo

[vapid smelt]

i5 13600k and a rx 7900xt

[wheat solstice]

For 1440p? Tf you smoking

[indigo plume]

id rather not go amd gpu

nivida plz

[vapid smelt]

more for me then

[indigo plume]

amd for gpu seem sketchy

[manic torrent]

You said any suggestions!

[indigo plume]

i suppose

[fossil frost]

thats because you are an idiot

[indigo plume]

amd have driver issues from what ive been told

[fossil frost]

yes, about 5 years ago

[indigo plume]

and poor ray tracing performace

[fossil frost]

so do nvidia

[wheat solstice]

Lmao rtx

[vapid smelt]

yet its Nvidia cards going up in flame

[indigo plume]

only 4090

[fossil frost]

the thing is... time has passed since these issues were a thing...

[fossil frost]

any card that uses the octopus cable

[indigo plume]

30 series cards arent sketch

[vapid smelt]

sorry only their BEST card is going up in flame

[manic torrent]

Not according to some. Some people are stuck in the past

[fossil frost]

some people are idiots

[indigo plume]

is it a problem i dont want amd

i just trust nivida more

[fossil frost]

if people are too stupid to see past their own prejudice, they don't deserve help

[indigo plume]

why so mad that i want Nvidia card

[fossil frost]

i dont give a shit that you want nvidia, i care that you are spouting shit about something you know absolutely nothing about

spreading misinformation is straight up moronic

[wheat solstice]

Calm down kiddo

Play nice

[indigo plume]

sure maybe the drivers thing was wrong but im pretty sure nivida has better ray tracing

[vapid smelt]

amd gpus are amazing i will buy another one if the value is right (normally always is)

[indigo plume]

from what ive seen online

[fossil frost]

name 3 games t hat widely use ray tracing, in a way where anybody would notice and give a shit...

[vapid smelt]

it is true Nvidia dose have better ray tracing

[fossil frost]

that play at a reasonable framerate with ray tracing on

[indigo plume]

if i get over 60 fps im happy with RT

[vapid smelt]

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/confirmed-ray-tracing-and-dlss-games-2022 still not too many

[fossil frost]

there are no games right now that will get you 60fps with ray tracing turned on

[indigo plume]

at 1440p

[fossil frost]

unless you heavily rely on DLSS, and then whats the point, you are losing all the benefit of ray tracing

[vapid smelt]

4090

[fossil frost]

when your house is on fire, it doesnt matter if you get 60fps

[vapid smelt]

54 with a 3080 12gb

[indigo plume]

54 close enough

[manic torrent]

Forza horizon 5! The difference with rtx is
.. uhhhh... Uhhhn...

[indigo plume]

guess ill go with that one

[graceful burrow]

Cars have looked photoreal in games since the 360

Or at least as close to photo real that any layman would care

[latent plank]

Ray tracing in most games isnt full ray tracing

[manic torrent]

*all

[latent plank]

im including tech demos

[indigo plume]

either way its nice to have the option to use if i want to

[vapid smelt]

in non raytracing 1440p the $655 rx 6900xt beats the $845 3080 12gb

[indigo plume]

insead of just having card that cant handle it

[manic torrent]

I don't believe anything has been released that is full real time ray traced that's consumer equipment?

[fossil frost]

its nice to have the option to have 5 extra rooms in my house that i dont use... but... why would i waste the money on it

[indigo plume]

also i like the look of nivida gpus more

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/theoffice-stanley-blank-stare-waiting-gif-7195670

[fossil frost]

you arent buying a piece of art

[indigo plume]

aesthetics matter to me

[latent plank]

So if you already know what you want.... why ask for help choosing?

[manic torrent]

You kind are

[vapid smelt]

you look at your monitor not your pc

[indigo plume]

i was just asking what nivida gpu

[graceful burrow]

Gt 1030

[indigo plume]

would be good for 1440p

[fossil frost]

no, you asked for all suggestions

[indigo plume]

and then said right after no amd

[latent plank]

its easy, most expensive one you can afford

[vapid smelt]

whats up with your HUGE computer case you have? 2 rigs in it?

[latent plank]

not yet

[indigo plume]

do u hate nivida or somthing

[fossil frost]

rather than asking for suggestions, why not just ask "im looking at this specific nvidia gpu, can somebody please validate my decision because im too insecure to decide for myself"

[vapid smelt]

amd has better value for gaming

[latent plank]

also its just a temp build

[indigo plume]

i dont care about value

[vapid smelt]

then buy a 4090

[latent plank]

we noticed

[indigo plume]

im not paying for a 40 series card when im doing 1440p

thats overkill

[latent plank]

but they are better

[graceful burrow]

But you just said you don't care about value
And you want the best card for 1440p

[latent plank]

way more frames

[fossil frost]

40 series are better, and you dont care about value

and you said you want "the option" for ray tracing, which you may never use... why not have the option for 4k, which you may never use

[sonic spruce]

Do I need an air intake fan for a gtx 960?

[indigo plume]

i dont care about value to an extent

[graceful burrow]

Gn

[indigo plume]

im not paying 1600 dollars

[graceful burrow]

[indigo plume]

or more

[latent plank]

i love how there are more and more stipulations as we go along

[fossil frost]

then dont ask open questions, you have already made your decision, just buy what you want and dont ask people to justify your decision f or you

[vapid smelt]

could fit small child in the pc

[latent plank]

atleast 2

and they would be cozy

[indigo plume]

ur making this harder than it needs to be just cuz u got mad i just wanted a nivida suggestion for 1440p ur just trying to be an ass

[sonic spruce]

And just random af electronics

[latent plank]

do it

[sonic spruce]

I will

[manic torrent]

Dude you are as smart as a brick

[gilded quest]

Yeah but 5 guys is more quick service, not fast food.

I wouldn't put it in the same category as BK

[manic torrent]

I would recommend not doing stuff that requires thinking

[indigo plume]

ok how about this what 30 series card do I get for 1440p

[vapid smelt]

i suggest to wait till these cards launch, even if you dont want a AMD card this launch might lead to Nvidia lowering prices on some cards @indigo plume

[limpid fern]

3070

[manic torrent]

He is, apparently this is for in two months

[gilded quest]

I agree

[limpid fern]

Yea when amd and nvida launched they were awful

[gilded quest]

I have the motherboard and PSU for it......sounds fun lol

[indigo plume]

aesthetics for pcs is important

[vapid smelt]

then you could use the a770 on the games it supports well and the 1080ti for the rest!

[indigo plume]

atleast for me

[sonic spruce]

I got a couple systems and consoles I can do

[sonic spruce]

Thanks

[indigo plume]

if u dont look good i dont want it

I carried a 32GK850F with the box for half an hour or so, once

It's refreshing to discover the amount of muscle loss that occured while I stopped exercising for a good few years

[steel marsh]

heaviest thing ive carried is secret labs chair when the guy had pallet move into my house

i had to drag it

[wispy marsh]

Their chairs aren't particularly heavy

Maybe just bulky

[steel marsh]

well im taking more the box

the box with all the parts inside is heavy

[wispy marsh]

The padding and stuff usually makes it so, yeah

if you start back up you get some gains fast af

Oh, I'm gaining. I just had a burger king meal

I shit you not, one time when we went to get Burger King.... They were out of burgers

[wispy marsh]

Were they out of kurgers too?

[median idol]

Take wild guess

[wispy marsh]

[neon mesa]

damn undervolt dropped a nice 20W

[urban talon]

You dropped this 🍔 king

[night heron]

undervolting go brr

[urban talon]

Auto undervolt like boost on CPU as an option change my mind

[night heron]

that would be cool

[urban talon]

I think they are releasing something similar for the new epyc lineup right ?

[night heron]

not sure

[median idol]

Didn't Intel hint of the possible revival of their HEDT? Like a possible 34 core CPU in the future?

[night heron]

that would be cool

but 34 cores wouldn’t be very relevant, intel is gonna have 32 cores on mainstream with their next socket

unless those 34 cores were all performance cores

[graceful jackal]

free space heater cool

[night heron]

i think HEDT is permanently dead

mainstream has so many cores already and 20 pcie 5.0 lanes = 80 pcie 3.0 lanes

[median idol]

I see. Looks like AMD stands alone on that hill it seems.

[night heron]

threadripper probably won’t stick around either

they’ll most likely release a 32 core ryzen 9 and kill threadripper

[neon mesa]

HEDT is a weird spot

[urban talon]

I'm quite curious, has the prices increased enough for regular consumer products that not enough people are on the market for hedt ? (Or are the regular stuff fast enough that it doesn't justify needs for hedt ?)

[night heron]

mainstream stuff is fast enough to where hedt is kinda pointless

you can get 16 or 24 cores on mainstream and they have the equivalence of 80 pcie 3.0 lanes

[urban talon]

Yeah i see, but we don't even need too much lanes nowadays, like multi GPU isn't a thing anymore, mobos have nice stuff already on them

[sonic barn]

3 of my classes were cancelled today

[glacial basin]

Yup LOL 😆

This is the receiver I want anyways

https://www.onkyousa.com/product/tx-nr7100-9-2-channel-thx-certified-av-receiver/

It's THX Certified and IMAX Enhanced

[night heron]

thx and imax certification mean nothing

all that matters is what audio/video formats it supports, what room eq it offers, and its power ratings

as well as what connections it has of course

[fossil dirge]

Alright

So is Dolby Atmos more important?

[night heron]

if you’re making an atmos setup then yes it’ll need to support atmos

[fossil dirge]

I want to setup Dolby Atmos so I do need Dolby Atmos on my receiver

The receiver that I want to get has Dirac Live for room correction

My current receiver has Dolby Atmos but I want to upgrade it for Dirac live

hey everyone 😄

[north gust]

I have i5-12400 and Dell E22 monitor (24 inch 60hz TN). Should I get AIO cooler or better monitor

[gilded quest]

Better monitor

[subtle walrus]

what is monitor

[north gust]

Reason? I have 3060. Btw

[subtle walrus]

my grandson keep stare at that thing

[gilded quest]

TN kind of sucks

Bad color and viewing angles

So games will look nicer with a monitor upgrade, and if you go high refresh rate, they will look smoother too

[north gust]

I don't care about angles but colour?

[gilded quest]

TN panels tend to have poor color accuracy

[north gust]

I'm not doing colour accurate work just in case you wanna know

[gilded quest]

There's definitely LTT or tech quickie videos that go into more depth

Your CPU doesn't need an AIO

[north gust]

I heard for esports TN is best

[gilded quest]

But you have 60hz

[north gust]

In RDR2 it throttles

[gilded quest]

Are you using stock cooler? You can get a better air cooler than the stock for less than an AIO

Do what you want

[north gust]

Yes Stock

[gilded quest]

60Hz TN is pretty low quality in 2022

[north gust]

Any budget monitor?

[full fossil]

okay

[north gust]

Is there any monitor under the price which is better than what i have

[lilac halo]

i would send you but the shop we use in my country is only in our country

[night heron]

whatever is more beneficial to you

[fossil dirge]

Alright

I think I might get the MacBook Pro first since I want to get the laptop

[arctic quiver]

I wonder if theyre shipping based on what type of molding was used. I've seen a lot of wave 1 orders #s that were before mine that have not shipped

[regal forum]

I have 2.4GHz mouse and want to get a headset that also uses 2.4GHz dongle. Will there interfere?

[night heron]

yes but not enough for you to notice

macbook pro goes hard

[hearty spear]

Most devices are designed to handle some interference without having issues

[fluid ridge]

if you are willing to wait for the M2 macbook pros it would be even harder

[regal forum]

You sure? Its G502 x plus and headphones are G733s

[hearty spear]

Or I can continue to ignore apple like the shitty company it is

[hearty spear]

Yes

[fluid ridge]

apple might be a shitty company but they make good stuff

most of the time it's either unparalleled power to performance or straight up raw performance outperforming everything else

[regal forum]

For 2x the price 🤦

At least

[fossil dirge]

MacBook Pros are expensive

[fluid ridge]

welp

[fossil dirge]

But I would like to get one

[fluid ridge]

apple doesn't cater to poor people

no middle class family is going to buy an M1 ultra mac studio for the family computer

but that's not denying how they make an insane machines with the M series chips

[fossil dirge]

Apple makes great computers especially with the Apple Silicon chip

Maybe on black Friday

[fluid ridge]

amazon has early deals

[gilded quest]

buyers were warned that black shafts would ship later since those weren't included in the initial production run

[echo ridge]

On black friday

[arctic quiver]

I'm speaking about the order in which black shafts would ship. I.e the theory was by different colored molding

[jaunty topaz]

is it possible to convert game pass games into steam games?

for example i’m about to buy p5r on steam but i have it installed with gamepass. if i were to copy my game pass install folder into steam then verify the game files would it shorten the install process?

[fossil frost]

no

[jaunty topaz]

even with that process above?

[fossil frost]

it wont work

[jaunty topaz]

ah well guess i’m waiting then

[stuck stratus]

if you mean the save files, then it depends on the game

but no you can’t add them to your steam library (without buying them)

[jaunty topaz]

well the saves can be transferred but i was wondering if that method would work. searched it up and it has only mentioned people doing it with cracked games

like i’m going to buy the game but i was wondering if i could lessen my download time that way

i might as well try it. if it doesn’t work then i guess i’ll just wait like 3 hours for it to download

[sonic barn]

cracked games just need the steam dll to be changed basically

if the game can be ran offline

if it is a drm free game then you can just install it and it'll work so long as accounts aren't needed over a server for some multiplayer stuff

[jaunty topaz]

trying it right now

[sonic barn]

also you could with windows 10

at least before a certain release

I did it with the ori games

[jaunty topaz]

yea it didn't work

oh well guess im waiting

[sonic barn]

oh you're trying to speed up the download not run a game from gamepass on steam

[jaunty topaz]

yeap

the cpk folder is pretty much identical to the one in the steam files but it was just like "files validated" then continued downloading from nothing

[fossil frost]

i seem to remember saying "no" almost a hour ago... could have saved yourself a bunch of time

[jaunty topaz]

well it only took like 15 seconds

[fossil frost]

really, because it was nearly a hour ago you asked the question, and you said you were trying about 10 minutes ago... thats a bit longer than 15 seconds

[jaunty topaz]

well i bought the game like 10 minutes ago copying the files took like 4 minutes then steam validiation took like 15 seconds

[cursive spoke]

@rugged ferry pls have you guys at float plane not thought of a way to encode in the lowest format and make an upscale on the users system so it reduces server rendering

[fossil frost]

encoding is very very very cpu intensive, and upscalling is encoding, so it would either have to happen at the server, using up more cpu, or, on your browser, which would make for a shit experience... and storage space is much cheaper than cpu time

[cursive spoke]

I know that but it just works better if you use a solution like php to deliver something like that becs it is just reliable

[fossil frost]

you are still encoding on the fly, and using PHP to do that would be an awful idea

php is already on the bloaty side as it is

[cursive spoke]

why websockets

[cursive spoke]

no it is not

[fossil frost]

websockets are very light weight, require very minimal cpu time

[cursive spoke]

thats the point

[fossil frost]

yes. it is. ive been a professional software developer for 22 years

[cursive spoke]

i am also a developer for 5 years

[cursive spoke]

old ways are nice but new are the best

[fossil frost]

you cant just pipe through a low bitrate file through a websocket, with no interaction at all, and expect it to just be better when it gets to the user

[cursive spoke]

no it will not

[fossil frost]

it needs some form of processing... and that will have to be done on the server, or on the users machine. if its done on the server, expensive, if its done on the users machine, it will make the users machine run like dogshit and they wont use the service

if when you use netflix on your pc, it hogged all your cpu time, you wouldnt use netflix

[cursive spoke]

example a video is sent to a user in 240p then the users system automatically upscales it to the best resolution

[fossil frost]

upscalling isnt magic, upscalling can only do so much

[cursive spoke]

that true

I understand but the app measures the cpu load and gives them a selective list on the site

[dreamy otter]

[fluid ridge]

waifu2x is free

[dreamy otter]

if you want an iPhone get a 12 pro or 13 minimum

[fluid ridge]

why pay for video upscaling software

[graceful burrow]

There are a ton of free upscaling models

[supple topaz]

iPhone is terrible for games in general. Games run really smoothly on iOS, but they bottleneck the ram so much it’s just constant crashes.

Whereas on android games may be much less optimized, but they don’t crash nearly as much - my experience

[graceful burrow]

Buy a steam deck

[supple topaz]

Yeah I would too

[jagged dune]

I want a steam deck but

It costs money

[supple topaz]

Indeed, the deck of the steam do be like that

[acoustic pond]

But how good are they

[graceful burrow]

Great if you choose the right one for what you're scaling

[acoustic pond]

Any suggestions for video upscale?

[fluid ridge]

what games are you playing?

you sure you didn't port elden ring to mobile

[supple topaz]

Mostly anime rpgs. Genshin impact, tower of fantasy, nikke goddess of victory, etc. I play on pc because mobile is so bad

Genshin impact seems to be the best optimized

anyone know how to add someone on discord?

[fluid ridge]

if you share a server with them, right click on their name when they chat/in the members list and click "add friend" from the context menu

[west moat]

nah i mean like search them up

[fluid ridge]

if not, click on the discord logo at the very top left of your screen and press the add friend button

you cant search for someone like that

you need their exact username and tag, or you need to share a server with them to find them

[west moat]

yeah i have their tag and stuff

i lost my add friend button though

i used to have it

[fluid ridge]

wym

are you on mobile or pc

[west moat]

pc

its just not there anymore

[fluid ridge]

click discord logo on the top left, it brings you to your discord homes page where you see friends and such, and on the top right area there's a green "add friend" button

[west moat]

aw fuck

my window was too small

[fluid ridge]

i was so confused

bro i feel like a grandma

[acoustic pond]

That does not do video

[fluid ridge]

yes it does

i have used it for video upscaling

https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI/releases

[acoustic pond]

How are the results compared to topaz lab or similar?

[fluid ridge]

it has multiple different algorithms and upscale techniques so i assume it depends on which you choose, however from personal experience with the default settings it is an excellent upscaler

it can do images and video

the emotions conveyed in taran's video against what linus mentioned about toilet paper as a passing joke feels like linus didn't understand the gravity of what taran was saying

taran is the guy who made the i quit linus tech tips video

i remember that video

it seemed to be it was all in good fun and spirits

unless you are doing engineering specifically I would not condone getting a "gaming laptop"

this is coming from someone that builds them for a living.

well it was on sale

and I am gonna game and do programming

I don't know how much you paid for it so I can't knock it either way

[fluid ridge]

it is common knowledge that apple's M series chips have unparalleled efficiency, power to performance, and depending on the model straight up outperformance on windows PCs let alone windows laptops

[wraith sonnet]

yes and no, ARM vs x86 is a very heated debate

[fluid ridge]

exactly

[upper storm]

to me, being able to pack all that in a slim and light body adds a lot of value so I don't mind 🤷

[vapid smelt]

NERD 🤓

[acoustic pond]

but ARM and x86 are totally different though

[upper storm]

it is lighter and slimmer than the xps counterparts

[fluid ridge]

the M1 Max laptop is so fucking crazy it's literally a workstation

[upper storm]

and cheaper

[wraith sonnet]

okay so intel and alienware tax

[neat tinsel]

If you know what you're using it for Apple works well

[wraith sonnet]

fuck off coop

[acoustic pond]

Never buy Dell

[upper storm]

and has very respectable temps

[wraith sonnet]

kek

[upper storm]

and has good ports 🤷

[acoustic pond]

Dell overengineer everything. gamer nexus did a tear down on a alienware desktop and just shitted on it

[upper storm]

can't ask for more

[neat tinsel]

nah

[wraith sonnet]

what about lenovo or noctua?

[neat tinsel]

product > brand

[red breach]

they... over-under engineer. they spend lots of time and effort creating a worse solution than original standard

[upper storm]

the xps lineup are the best windows laptop on the market

[red breach]

like the time they grafted an intel stock cooler to AM4. WHY

[wraith sonnet]

some brands over engineer to make sure it works

[acoustic pond]

lenovo thinkpad x1s are actually really nice with great keyboards if you need a work laptop, super light and portable too

[wraith sonnet]

razer in a nutshell

[vapid smelt]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/asrock-intel-ryzen-3000-cooler-1151-am4,40086.html then we have asrock

[upper storm]

true but razer blades were only available in ryzen 9 and were all above 2k

[wraith sonnet]

I am saying that in a positive manner, I am a diehard fanboy of lenovo and noctua

[jaunty topaz]

linux compatibility is actually the most frustrating thing on this planet holy shit

[acoustic pond]

Their Dell poweredge servers are just as bad, so much plastic shit for airflow and what not and if everything does not go back in perfectly you cant put the server cover back on .

[upper storm]

I don't need that much performance or spend that much money

[neat tinsel]

Dell's XPS lineup is quite good and so are the recent Alienware laptops. Though I'd never buy an Alienware PC currently

[wraith sonnet]

this isn't new to me, that board uses thunderbolt 3 and needed space for the titanridge controller

[upper storm]

I bought the new alienware x14 laptop

[acoustic pond]

depends, broadcom drivers for wifi, absolutly, but ubuntu has a decent collection of drivers now

[upper storm]

imma use linux on it tho

[wraith sonnet]

I litterally have it in the cursed pcpp list

[jaunty topaz]

i mean more so applications and gaming wise

[acoustic pond]

same argument with mac not being to game on but Wine on linux is a option for emulation and it depends on what applications, if Adobe then yea

[wraith sonnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NedOfTheNet/saved/nmVBjX @vapid smelt

I highly encourage some of y'all to look through this monstrosity

[jaunty topaz]

idk if my steam deck is faulty or something but like anything i install outside of steam that needs wine or proton has like a 20% of working. even in cases where it works for other people

[vapid smelt]

im very mad your not using a r5 3400g / r5 5600g

or r3 3200g

[wraith sonnet]

if it had integrated graphics it would ruin it unfortunately

[jaunty topaz]

at this point i’m kinda forced to install windows because nothing works lol

[wraith sonnet]

would a 4100 be a suitable compromise?

[vapid smelt]

[wraith sonnet]

be aware this list is older than the 4100

[red breach]

this is blursed btw

[wraith sonnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NedOfTheNet/saved/nmVBjX fixed @vapid smelt

the summary of it is wrong IG

[vapid smelt]

Ryzen 5 4500 is only $79 now damn

[wraith sonnet]

also the 1030 was chosen for multiple reasons, no native DP, passive, ddr4 rather than gddr5

[vapid smelt]

gtx 1630

[wraith sonnet]

there is no version of it without displayport

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pGrG3C/amd-cpu-fd9590fhhkwof damn only $348 for a 8 core 5ghz cpu!

[acoustic pond]

gotta go fast

[acoustic pond]

Like those taylor swift concert tickets for her new tour

[vapid smelt]

hey the rx 6400 is a good product dont set it next to a gtx 1630

[acoustic pond]

I still have my GTX 1080 non ti

still a great card

[wraith sonnet]

a mobile gpu in an x570 is still wrong

[gilded quest]

my gtx 1080ti going strong 💪

[vapid smelt]

the msrp of the 4080 strix is $50 less then a Rtx 4090Fe

[echo ridge]

nice

[vivid shadow]

Yah, I like the LTT screwdriver a lot more than I thought I would

[glacial basin]

still sold out 💀

[fresh flower]

Y'all ever feel like this

[fresh flower]

I wish my screwdriver would come out of backorder so they could at least send my mousepad

[vivid shadow]

They usually ship stuff separately, they did with my stuff

[fresh flower]

It's been at 2-6 days for a month now

[fresh flower]

i know what the holdup is tho

i'm like wave 5 for the screwdriver

[mint yacht]

Leave it to Asrock to do something strange and cool like that
I want them to really, really test what can still be held to a specification

[vapid smelt]

if you put my address instead of yours im 95% sure it will ship faster

[fluid ridge]

scammed

[fresh flower]

Linus would never scam me

Linus makes the screwdriver with his bare hands and that's why they take so long

[full fossil]

Can I dm a schematic past someone it's a first draft and I want to make sure nothings wrong before I build off it any more(it's a pre-amp)

[vapid smelt]

@wraith sonnet do you own a NM-SD1 screwdriver

[fresh flower]

That shaft means the owner is compensating

[hybrid dagger]

That looks like a screw driver a mechanic would need when they're working on a car that was designed by a firm that didn't hire any mechanics for the design process

[vapid smelt]

its combo with noctuas passive cooler

[fresh flower]

noctua owners are also compensating

[vapid smelt]

[wispy marsh]

What of my nf-a9?

[fluid ridge]

do they still ship these

[vapid smelt]

with the coolers yes

[fluid ridge]

when i got my noctua cooler i got a long ass allen wrench looking thing

i got scammed out of a screwdriver

[vapid smelt]

this fancy driver is for the passive only from what i can tell

[fluid ridge]

passive cooling? wtf?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-P1-Passive-CPU-Cooler/dp/B08WC64NN8

i need it

[mint yacht]

ask their support if they're willing to sell one individually

[sonic barn]

I took it

[graceful burrow]

I have a non-love/hate relationship with asrock

They're the only ones who made a mini stx am4 board and they don't sell it anymore
