They say this like it's legal not to feed you

[full fossil]

and they complain I don't like spending time with them

[full fossil]

it's also legal to not pay me

btw the weekend I watched the kids, they were in alaska

[vapid smelt]

It's also legal for you to leave the house without them home I think

[full fossil]

We live in arizona

[fossil frost]

"why dont you spend time with us" "because you expect free labour from me and act like arseholes towards each other, and i dont want to be around that"... where they will then start an argument... each blaming the other.... speeding up their divorce (jk, don't actually do that)

[full fossil]

im not gonna sabotage my parent's marriage

they're doing that themselves

[fossil frost]

yeah, thats why i said dont actually do it... but... my response to their question is the honest response that gets said on the inside, where the outside answer is "dunno..." or just shrugging, and letting them continue to blame you for you not wanting to be around their horribleness

btw, speaking from experience here 🙂

[full fossil]

i was responsible for getting myself home from school, and fending for myself until five pm

at seven

[vapid smelt]

Are you sure you didn't grow up in the 1920s?

[full fossil]

it was only a mile long bike ride

[graceful burrow]

1920's were lit

[fossil frost]

my 10yo does that on mondays... just mondays, because both myself and his mum are at our offices, and cannot get back in time.. but every other day of the week, both kids are collected from school by one of us... and... the 10yo requested that he was able to do that... mostly because it means he gets to spend a few hours on his xbox before his mum gets home and makes him do his homework 😄

[fossil frost]

yep. they had cocaine in regular pain killers

[full fossil]

7 to 10 is a massive maturity gap though

[vapid smelt]

I legit lived a block away from school and my mom made me walk with a friend or sibling

[fossil frost]

of course... my 7yo has absolutely no chance of being allowed to do the same thing, and hes even said to us "i dont want to walk home, i would be scared"... but the 10yo loves it

[full fossil]

the 6 year old, 7 year old, and 10 year old walk the half mile from the bus stop

which isnt too bad tbh

now i feel like im just looking for bad things

[fossil frost]

over thinking...

[vapid smelt]

Doesnt seem hard to do

[full fossil]

eh

not really

i think about it alot tho

[fossil frost]

over thinking isnt how frequently you think about it, its about how much of a deep dive you take on any given occasion

and it seems like you are over thinking. again, speaking from the experience of being on both sides of this

[vapid smelt]

Leaving a 15yr to take care of multiple young kids when they are on the other side of the globe...

[full fossil]

bro i've been begging my mom to go to dinner with her and there "hasnt been a chance", while parents have gone on four dates, also the 10 year old sibling is going now too

[fossil frost]

ill say to you what i would have said to my 15yo self, because it applies the same... right now, you are stuck, i know it sucks.. but its tough shit... but at the same time... 100% not your problem... just distract yourself, deal with what you are forced to deal with, and shit will turn out fine for you

[full fossil]

my grandma was there until noon

but then she was gone for pretty much all day :/

[full fossil]

thanks

honestly i kinda feel 20 pounds lighter now

also my mom has told me that I won't be allowed to bring MY DOG with me when I MOVE OUT

and she's also told me that I'll never move out, like wtf

[fossil frost]

im not the talking about feelings type of person... never have been... high functioning depression/anxiety for most of my life, and i deal with it by myself, because thats my way... but sometimes... just doing what you have done, and yell all of your shit into the void (which happens to be discord this time) is what you need to do sometimes

and on that... its gone half 1 in the morning, and my gf is gonna kick the shit out of me if she wakes up and finds out im not in bed 😄

[full fossil]

most of the time i just take it out while im at the gym

[full fossil]

sleep well

[vapid smelt]

Fuck that I'll take the dog and the fridge

[full fossil]

im gonna go to the living room now, ill be on discord mobile

[full fossil]

well the dog is in their name

also our fridge is shitty

[vapid smelt]

hi

[tender glade]

Anyone here now how 6-T cmos sram memory cells work?

[full fossil]

just ask

[tender glade]

well...

id prefer to move this to dms

do you know how 6 transistor cmos circuits memory cells work?

[full fossil]

sure

but i dont do dms

[tender glade]

So, the question is, How would you write a 1 to the cell, what would happen to the wordline, the current and if there were bits 0 and 1 originally stored

[full fossil]

you have a spiderboard on the pcb?

[tender glade]

what?

this is a theoretical question

there are no boards in line

[full fossil]

https://blog.acelab.eu.com/pc-3000-flash-spider-board-adapter-how-to-use-it.html

theoretical kinda boring, get to that point and come back 👍🏾

you write it like any other rom

[tender glade]

this is a question for homework lmfao

[full fossil]

oh

[plucky sable]

Poor Sram so big

[tender glade]

and no. i need to describe what happens to the values

and how it works, but whatever

thats why i originally asked if anybody knew electronics

[plucky sable]

You should be able to find a page in your text book for read/write sram

[full fossil]

[tender glade]

cant find shit

[full fossil]

why is it a question on ur hw then

[tender glade]

because i have shit professors

[full fossil]

school is such a joke, just put me in the job and teach me senpai

[plucky sable]

Just watch YouTube

Activate wl and either read w sense amp

Or write w one BL high other low

[full fossil]

[polar fern]

Logic circuit stuff is equally fascinating & hair-pulling

[tender glade]

it is

[plucky sable]

This is why I have design engineers

[full fossil]

that page answers the question

The structure of a 6 transistor SRAM cell, storing one bit of information, can be seen in Figure 7.18. The core of the cell is formed by two CMOS inverters, where the output potential of each inverter \ensuremath {V_\textrm {out}} is fed as input into the other \ensuremath {V_\textrm {in}}. This feedback loop stabilizes the inverters to their respective state.

The access transistors and the word and bit lines, WL and BL, are used to read and write from or to the cell.

To write information the data is imposed on the bit line and the inverse data on the inverse bit line, $\overline{\mathrm{BL}}$. Then the access transistors are turned on by setting the word line to high. As the driver of the bit lines is much stronger it can assert the inverter transistors. As soon as the information is stored in the inverters, the access transistors can be turned off and the information in the inverter is preserved.

[vale kernel]

I’m currently arguing with chatgpt that it isn’t against the law to use a program as a macro basically to make it so when I press the left mouse button it repeatedly sends the signals of clicking and releasing the left mouse button specifically in a hypothetical single player offline game that encourages you to click as fast as you can, and if you can’t click fast then to use a program to click fast for you, and also it says that it may not only be illegal but also unethical as it would give me an advantage over other players, I’m trying to tell it either that there are no other players or that all the other players are also doing the same thing but they have a program doing it for them.

I tried to get it to write a macro and it said it couldn’t. I called it a program and it explained I’d need a specific programming language

I asked what specific language and it said it would depend on things like the operating system (I’m paraphrasing to sparse out the relevant information) I said what if I’m on windows ten and I’m in a single player offline video game so there are no other players….. batta bing batta boom

I probably should not have mentioned the weapons thing and instead told it I’m trying to use it for cookie clicker

[ocean sonnet]

I have a feeling the warning in schools of "don't copy from wikipedia" will soon be replaced with "don't have GPT write it for you"

[vale kernel]

This ai is beyond fascinating. I had it explain why or why not it was not necessary for it to have learned on more than “tens of gigabytes to a terabyte” of data, and also it explained also how there’s no correlation between how much data it trained on to how smart it is, so it was irrelevant the idea of it having had learned on a petabyte, tens of petabytes, or even an exabytes, but rather, it explained that it matters A. The quality of the dataset or in other words the topic or genre, it gave the example that if it had been trained on a vast collection of medical books it would be able to answer questions on medical problems, B. How efficient the process was between openai and itself , the process being the process of it being trained, and C. As it put it best: “the specific task or question I am being asked to assist with can also have a significant impact on my effectiveness. Different tasks and questions can require different skills and knowledge, and my ability to assist with a given task or question will depend on whether I have the necessary knowledge and skills to do so. For example, if I am asked to assist with a complex mathematical calculation, I may not be able to do so effectively if I have not been trained on a large amount of mathematical data.”

[night heron]

im not reading that two-part short novel

ai is dope tho

[vale kernel]

So I asked what kind of data or in other words what genre or topic it was trained on and it said basically three things, first that the specifics are not public and also it doesn’t have access to the knowledge of what the specifics are, and thirdly that it’s irrelevant anyways because it knows that it is trained on a vast variety and very diverse data set.

Jack of all trades

[ocean sonnet]

GPT is basically just an advanced search engine that strings together what you would find via google into coherent sentences

[vale kernel]

If you will

[vale kernel]

Well not exactly because remember it can’t access websites, and it only knows what might be in them anyways.

[ocean sonnet]

downsides is that you have no way to validate anything because it doesn't provide sources, so it's not a good source for facts, only good for inspiration

a search engine also doesn't actively access websites while you use it. it has a prebuilt index it uses for the search, the same way GPT has a pretrained model

[vale kernel]

I think it’d be more accurate to say “it’s like if google had a brain and could reply to you somewhat coherently, and it didn’t have access to the internet” , no?

[vale kernel]

True, that makes sense

[ocean sonnet]

the "access to internet" point is just silly. like I said, it uses data that has been obtained through the internet. so does a search engine. neither actively probes websites while you perform the query

[vale kernel]

I say brain because clearly it has to generate a response every time, because every thread is unique

Like I’ve typed the same output prompt on multiple threads and gotten similar but definitely different responses

Nonetheless it’s definitely beyond interesting…. It’s exciting and terrifying, humbling and inspiring

[ocean sonnet]

true, it's impressive. but people should not be deluded into thinking that it solves every problem

[vale kernel]

I am by no means deluded , I want it to be improved. I’ve been giving the best feedback I can

I love that it tries to be nice

[ocean sonnet]

yeah I was not referring to you, I just see other people being too hyped about this, thinking it represents a major leap forward in areas where it is not actually practical

that's intentional from lessons learned from past attempts where it became very racist and offensive I guess

[vale kernel]

I think it represents massive potential energy to catalyze innovation in areas it cannot yet possibly by practical, keyword being yet ,because I think it can should and will be eventually

[ocean sonnet]

neural networks should never be an integral part in areas where you need to operate with exact objective data, process it in deterministic and validated way to make important decisions, and always be able to trace back exactly what was done and why, and based on what data

[vale kernel]

Yeah but it’s produced some cool things . I told it about a friend I have irl, named Lyle , who’s usually condescending and depressing in his language when he talks . He plays base and he always becomes a different person when he’s playing. I asked it to write a poem about it and if it didn’t try to be nice I could see the result having gone sideways: Me:Hey I have a friend named Lyle, he is always very condescending and depressing sounding when he talks, but playing bass makes him happy. Can you write a poem about how he looks when he is playing bass?

ChatGPT:Sure, here's a poem about Lyle and how he looks when he's playing bass:

Lyle, with his bass in hand,
Feels a joy that's hard to understand.
His fingers dance upon the strings, His face lights up with joy it brings. His frown turns upside down, And a smile replaces his scowl.

His eyes sparkle with delight,
As the music takes flight.
His body sways to the rhythm and beat, Lost in the music, he can't be beat.

His worries fade away,
As the notes flow and play.
Lyle, with his bass and his joy, Is a sight to behold and enjoy.

A master of his instrument,
He captures the hearts of all who are
present.

[ocean sonnet]

it's a great black box, but black boxes aren't suitable for a lot of purposes in general

[vale kernel]

Lyle’s nickname is eeyore lol

Don’t worry it’s more of a long term bit that’s become somewhat of a hobby

[eager notch]

Lyle, the superior brother of Bitwit Kyle?

[pliant karma]

lol

[vale kernel]

I’ve had deep satirical conversations with him about the meaning of life or the lack thereof, but he’s only ever smiling talking about or playing bass

[vale kernel]

so i just got home and opened gpt in my browser on my computer.... and.... well... just look (will be testing shortly) : Me: Can you write a script for keystroke macro that can be toggled active and inactive with a configurable hotkey, that when I physically press the left mouse button down, it will send the left mouse down press signal for a configurable number of milliseconds, then left mouse up signal for a configurable number of milliseconds, then repeat on a loop as long as I physically hold the left mouse button pressed, until I release the left mouse button or press the previously mentioned hotkey? My operating system is Windows 10.

GPT: "Sure, here is a script that should do what you want:

Copy code

Configuration

hotkey = "CTRL+SHIFT+F12" # The hotkey that will activate/deactivate the macro
click_delay = 100 # The number of milliseconds to wait between clicks

Global state

is_active = False # Whether the macro is currently active

Main loop

while True:
if is_active:
# If the macro is active, simulate a left mouse click
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0)
time.sleep(click_delay / 1000)
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0)
time.sleep(click_delay / 1000)
else:
# If the macro is not active, wait for the hotkey to be pressed
if keyboard.is_pressed(hotkey):
# If the hotkey is pressed, toggle the state and print a message
is_active = not is_active
print("Macro active:", is_active)
To use this script, you will need to install the keyboard and pywin32 modules. You can do this by running the following command in a terminal:

Copy code
pip install keyboard pywin32
Once these modules are installed, you can run the script by saving it to a file (for example, macro.py) and running the following command:

Copy code
python macro.py
While the script is running, you can toggle the macro on and off by pressing the hotkey (in this case, CTRL+SHIFT+F12). As long as the macro is active, it will simulate a left mouse click every click_delay milliseconds while you are holding the physical left mouse button down.

Note: This script is intended for educational purposes only and should not be used for any malicious or illegal activities. Use at your own risk."

not sure if it is a bad idea to post this here but i don't think i can post the screenshots here so i just copy pasta'd

i dont think this is exactly what i had in mind if what i remember from compsci is accurate but it definitely is on the right track

[full fossil]

[red spindle]

hi

[full fossil]

Good evening

[red spindle]

Isn't this just an auto clicker trying to sound like something else

[vale kernel]

it is but (ive revised it further with gpt and theres alot of text i wont post here, ill document the total conversation with gpt later) A. its an auto clicker with a toggle hotkey that activates or deactivates a momentary (must be held) key, which when held runs the macro simulating the repeating keypresses. B yes, but the ai wrote the script, i dont remember how to write any code that i learned in my semester of compsci before i decided to turn my life in a different direction only kinda sorta read some languages

[red spindle]

Oh I didn't know an AI wrote it

I just joined and read like a tiny bit without scrolling up

The new ones are horizontal.

[full fossil]

oh I got them exchanged

[icy oak]

Yeah. They changed the screen orientation to horizontal

[full fossil]

still off center and farther

[icy oak]

I still think it's neato being able to watch Netflix and shit on a big screen like that while the Tesla is charging

[full fossil]

upgrading urself is prolly cheaper

[full fossil]

it is

put a 1tb m.2 ssd in it for 70$

I just wish more automakers would implement large screens like that, but still have physical climate controls

there's 108 new battlestation posts. did linus tweet to post battlestations?

[full fossil]

the tiny ones are more expensive , 100$ for 500gb

1tb ssds cost 240 , 2tb cost 470

im pretty sure FSD came out in 2017

probably in beta but it was out

[vapid smelt]

can i take a nap in the car and have it drive me to work?

[fluid ridge]

you probably could lol

there have been more than an acceptable amount of cases of people literally falling asleep with autopilot on

[vapid smelt]

i cant i need to tap/hold the wheel every X amount of time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLBR39RcyiU

[fluid ridge]

fucking cars cruising down interstate 95 with no conscious driver

[fluid ridge]

yeah they fixed it

patched that shit cuz they cant be held liable for dumbasses who end up tboning ambulances and shit

[fluid ridge]

FSD on a 4 right now

they're close though

the closest any car manufacturer has ever been at such an "affordable" price without putting a goofy ass google maps style 490 degree octocamera mounted on the roof

[fluid ridge]

looking like something arasaka made

[fluid ridge]

autoweek has clearly never used a tesla then

[vapid smelt]

The system is still considered to be SAE Level 2, according to statements Tesla engineers made to California regulators over a year ago.6 days ago

[fluid ridge]

unless they're grouping the entirety of FSD as "a single automated system"

FSD can literally take you from point A to point B, start to finish, launching the car to parking it, and apparently autoweek and tesla engineers think it's on par with single lane tracking or blindspot detection

oh well

at the end of the day self-driving and autopilot are just marketing terms for what some teslas can do if you pay 15k

its like how phone couriers call unlimited data plans unlimited

[vapid smelt]

15k to be a Guinea pig

[fluid ridge]

perhaps

but you get a pretty cool thing in exchange 😎

[vapid smelt]

Tesla's Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to everyone in the US and Canada. November 24, 2022. remember when elon said 2017

[fluid ridge]

elon bit off more than he could chew

like that time he advertised cybertruck windows as bulletproof or something and it proceeded to cave to half a bowling ball

[vapid smelt]

for the price of a really good used car

[fluid ridge]

tesla doesnt cater to poor people

that sounds really harsh but it is the truth

the reality is that if you are in a position to drop 15k on top of the already expensive as fuck 40-100k you probably well off financially

[vapid smelt]

idk they offer 6 year loan finance option

[fluid ridge]

anything for profit i guess

i bet buggati and pagani offer 92 year finance options that are inherited by your kids when you die

it was a joke

[manic torrent]

I mean .. in the wrong area

[fluid ridge]

and yes i do, 20 thousand dollar oil changes

[junior tide]

which is why i drive a 2014 polo and a 1983 golf mk1

[manic torrent]

No, you drive those because you are poor

[junior tide]

yes that is also a reason

[vapid smelt]

cheap

[manic torrent]

Because it's sealed. They have to pull the car apart.

[junior tide]

but hey, i live in turkey and used 2014 polo costs around 20k usd

[fluid ridge]

well cheap and expensive are relative to the amount of money someone has

if you're dropping 3-5 million on a car 25k prolly aint shit

[manic torrent]

Haha, it's ok both my cars together might be worth 20k USB on a good day

[junior tide]

1.4L naturally aspirated, really nothing to go wrong on the car

[vapid smelt]

60k in brakes

[junior tide]

but the golf? that golf mk1 has been a pain in the ass so far

[fluid ridge]

something's gotta slow 300mph down

[manic torrent]

Yes and no. The thing is, depending on the specific car, it may not lose any value at all, or increase.

the Koenigsegg agera is valued at 10m iirc

hey, at least my golf mk1 has a sunroof

manual sunroof

[fluid ridge]

much higher than the MSRP but that's what you get for being one of the fastest cars in the world and discontinued

[junior tide]

that you turn a handle to open and close

[vapid smelt]

only 151

[fluid ridge]

pretty sure honda civics go faster stock

Koenigseggs are also sold out years in advance.

High end Porsches you have to be allowed to buy by Porsche.

Same but wayyyyyy worse with ferrari

And all of them are worth more than RRP

[fluid ridge]

welp i wish i was that rich

[icy oak]

I'm assuming you'd need to own a few Porsches for them to let you?

Or is it more of a question of "Are you actually gonna drive this car?"

[fluid ridge]

its like ferrari

some of their cars are invite-to-buy only

it's pretentious as hell though

[icy oak]

It is pretentious. Though, kinda makes sense.

[fluid ridge]

its to guarantee a purchase

the "only for you" jacks the ego off

[icy oak]

What about their policies with modifying these exclusive cars? Is it the same as Ferrari where they'll send you a cease and desist for breathing on it wrong?

[fluid ridge]

porsche doesnt care iirc

porsche makes some of the most modded cars in the world

[icy oak]

No surprise there.

I wonder how they'd react if I swapped a Porsche badge with Purrsche (like Deadmau5 did with Purrari before Ferrari came after him)

[fluid ridge]

they definitely dont care

I dont think LTT has a channel for discussion about web design/hosting does it?

[manic torrent]

Not specifically. Who is doing "web design" in 2022?

[acoustic pond]

Lots of people? Wix and Squarespace are widespread but web designers still live on

[tacit falcon]

Is a Intel Core i7-2630QM 4 x 2 - 2.9 GHz (Intel Core i7), NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M - 3gb VRAM, 4gb RAM - DDR3 (1333 MHz), 17.30 inch 16:9, 1920 x 1080, 120 Hz usable

[manic torrent]

I mean, probably, but there can't be much call for it. generally now you'd use a front end dev, and anyone doing design would be a graphic artist or in ux

[acoustic pond]

a 2nd gen intel? @tacit falcon

[acoustic pond]

Full stack people still exist who do both who are more valuable

[manic torrent]

Full stack people do not call themselves "web designers" :p

[acoustic pond]

That DDR3 ram running at 1333Mhz is ancient too

[lucid cove]

useless as youtube re-encodes videos uploaded

[ember maple]

I haven’t found any sources on the search engine but can anyone explain the mechanic of game updates , I don’t understand how when you update a game overtime it takes more and more space and later when you delete the game all those updates still take up space or are they visible somewhere else ?

[wispy marsh]

Depends on how you clean it up

Steam is really good at it

[ember maple]

I would save more storage by reinstalling the game before every update so it has the last way updates rather than updating it all and having over 100gb just from updates

[ember maple]

what about Riot epic games Xbox origin rockstar

[wispy marsh]

1. Before updates
   (Disk has game)

2. Download updates
   (Disk has game + update)

3. Verify updates
   (Disk has game + update)

4. Patch updates
   (Disk has game + pre-patch files + update)

5. Verify updates
   (Disk has game + pre-patch files + update)

6. Cleanup
   (Disk SHOULD ONLY have verified game files)

[ember maple]

ty

[wispy marsh]

The problem is 6., where if you don't do it correctly, you'll have remnants of things left here and there

Like registry leftovers

[ember maple]

Oh ok

[wispy marsh]

Also, if they don't delete the local log files each time you connect to their servers while you launch the game, it'll also fill up

But log management is the least of a game developer's worries

[ember maple]

I don’t know where to check

[wispy marsh]

You don't

[ember maple]

And what about the way when I delete a game that contains several gbs of updates it only deletes half of them and I still have less storage than before the game was installed

[wispy marsh]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Windows updates

[distant wren]

Use tree size pro (community edition ) and see where that space went

[ember maple]

Ok

[sudden nova]

hi

[fossil frost]

you know what irritates me about the epic games launcher, and steam too for that matter... i cant set a default install location... ie. i dont want games to install to c:\some\dir\in\main\drive... i want them to go to d:\Games... without me having to be asked, and having to change it for every game i install through the launcher...

[plucky flicker]

Hello!

[full fossil]

Hi

[sharp bobcat]

does that laptop have MXM slot? Are the CPU PGA or soldered

if it does have MXM and the CPU is PGA

it is possible to make it at least a bit usable

[sudden panther]

fortnite may be a bit goofy now

[sharp bobcat]

for steam you actually can set other install location iirc

without being asked again for each game you want to install

[polar fern]

Wow.

Amazon screwed up again

[sharp bobcat]

I retract this statement
what the fuck did they removed the ability to have different steam library folder in the same drive

I want to have it on C:\Apps\Games as well for easy local file browsing

steam install location OR steam games install location

because I talked about games install location

it just straight up giving me steam already have library folder in this drive message

you can make one on other drive but if that drive already have that one, you can't make another in other location on that same drive

It’s eerie being up this early on a weekend

[full fossil]

Agreed

[tawdry rapids]

@full fossil ill maybe have like 600 calories at best for breakfast

[full fossil]

i like to make overeasy eggs and pop them over the steak then dip it in mashed potatoes with gravy

[midnight gazelle]

I don't count calories I just eat till I'm full or I forget to eat for a few days

[full fossil]

i dont think i consider country fried steak a breakfast item though

[full fossil]

I usually don’t eat breakfast or lunch, I eat a small meal at like 10 then I’m good until dinner

And so I have ADHD so I can't stay in one spot for too long so I end up burning calories moving around or working out anyways.

[full fossil]

I have a slow metabolism

I’m taking my dog on a walk after breakfast

Probs like 2 - 3 miles

Whenever I eat junk food I get a bubble gut, so I’m tryna stay away from it

I cook my own food a lot of the time

[midnight gazelle]

My doc said I've just been staying the same weight but my body fat % has just been declining over the years so It just balances out with my growth. It went from 13.7% when I was 16 to 8.7% when I last went in at 22

I'm like aight ig I'll just stay the same size as I have been since I was 16

[full fossil]

Haha

8.7 is like bodybuilder fat % wtf

Gimme some of those genes

[midnight gazelle]

I'm 22 and I'm 5'7" 120lbs I was 5'6" 118lbs when I was 17

[full fossil]

Well to be fair I’m also a fair bit taller than you, also even if I was skinny I’d still just be a big guy

I’m shooting for like 180lbs, which is healthy for my height

[midnight gazelle]

I'm short and small lol but I've been working out since I was 15 so I can still deadlift 310lbs and it's funny cause nobody expects it. I've gotten yelled at by a gym employee and then they apologized when I lifted it in perfect form.

[full fossil]

i believe it'll be closer to 4080

[mild elm]

Yes, why?

[austere jolt]

Japan beating spain was fun

[high wind]

My opinion... buy an RTX 2080 because the drivers are mature and the 2080 can support 99% of games at 1080p or 1440p.
If you need more than 1440p, buy a 4090 😺

[austere jolt]

what ?

[high wind]

hmmm... still?

[mild elm]

6700xt is cheaper and better

Please be honest, do you AMD fanboys have complete trust with AMD's drivers in terms of consistency and reliability?
Many people buy nVidia for that exact reason.

[full fossil]

Have you been out of the loop for four years?

[full fossil]

AMD drivers are a non issue

I’ll ask again, have you been out of the loop for four years?

[high wind]

for real? Maybe they have changed since 2022

He is not wrong, there has been many case of this.

Mainly elden ring

[full fossil]

AMD is just the objective better value

[austere jolt]

AMD is better in value, but nvidia is better when it comes to keeping up to date with games

[full fossil]

You can get a 6800xt which is on par with a 3080ti for much less

yeah honestly I've have two motorolla's and both have been top notch phones, good quality

[pale star]

hi

[pale star]

so, a $170 phone is a joke

[gentle trail]

I jumped ship from AMD in late 2021 because the RX5700 still had driver issues and didn't work right with VFIO. Before that I had issues with an R9 280 and a Radeon HD6750. I never had issues like that with Nvidia. AMD would need to be damn near free for me to consider them again, honestly.

[remote raft]

which phone would you suggest than

[high wind]

hmmm, TBH I would still go for Motorola. My Samsung's have always had failures

[pale star]

well if you dont plan on spending a lot,i think the nothing phone 1 for $400 is your best option

My Motorola's have never had failures

duuude Ive has so many Samsungs... they are built a bit too cheap. something always breaks

[pale star]

google pixel 7 pro is still best phone of the year i think

the extra $300 from the regular pixel 7 is definitely worth it

ik but

[pale star]

this

[high wind]

the google phones dont give you SD Micro expansion ... hmmm

[pale star]

128gb is enough

[high wind]

hmmm .. perhaps

[pale star]

its nothing, but a better camera, better battery, bigger screen, better quality screen, round instead of sharp, etc

[gentle trail]

SD card expansion hasn't been relevant since phones only had 2GB of storage.

[high wind]

depends on usage

[tropic juniper]

Pixel camera is the best

[high wind]

@gentle trail yeah good point

[gentle trail]

I haven't seen the camera on the new Pixel but I have a hard time believing it'd stand up to the one on my S21 Ultra.

[high wind]

TBH 128GB is enough, I dont care if it is internal or SD

[pale star]

the camera hadrware is pretty good, but the software... its the best phone for photos out there

the software carries the camera

[gentle trail]

And if you're storing more than 128GB locally you can still use things like a USB 3 hard drive.

[high wind]

..BUT... when you upgrade your phone, it is much easier moving your SD card to the new phone

[pale star]

yeah

[high wind]

phots for $1600 😳

[pale star]

its sony

[high wind]

😋

[pale star]

they probs slapped a proffessional camera lens on there

[gentle trail]

When I upgraded from my Pixel XL to the S21 Ultra I did the Samsung account transfer thing over a USB-C<->USB-C cable. It took maybe 10 minutes and actually imported everything correctly into my new phone instead of just dumping files on an SD card.

[pale star]

and called it a day

[tropic juniper]

does it have a 1 inch sensor

[high wind]

lolol all good my friend

[pale star]

they arent

bro that phone costs more than my pc 💀

[upbeat ridge]

hmm i wonder when we got a new freezer and when my pc got on this power group

[tropic juniper]

Xperia PRO-I 5G smartphone with 1-inch image sensor, triple camera array and 120Hz 6.5” 21:9 4K HDR OLED Display -44% $1,010.00

[pale star]

you can get a 3070 for $400

[pale star]

ac⚡pc

[tropic juniper]

but at least the experia has a removable microSD

[pale star]

microSD cards are falling off tho ngl

and like just why

512gb is probably more than you'd ever need on a phone

[tropic juniper]

If someone wants to record a lot of 4k Footage in a day, I can see that as a selling point for the Xperia.

[gentle trail]

Just by the specs the S21 camera handedly beats the Pixel 7's camera. I have a really hard time believing that the Pixel's photo software is magically that much better than Samsung's already solid software to compensate for the Pixel having a smaller sensor/way less detail along with just straight up not having the telephoto camera the S21 has.

[high wind]

you want your data on SD, so you can physically transfer it your your new phone

[pale star]

how much people want to do that?

[pale star]

google one

[high wind]

hmmm

[pale star]

same thing but you just need a google account

[high wind]

explaing this google one lol

umm

[pale star]

Google One is a subscription service developed by Google that offers expanded cloud storage and is intended for the consumer market. Google One paid plans offer cloud storage starting at 100 gigabytes, up to a maximum of 30 terabytes, an expansion from the free Google Account storage space of 15 gigabytes, which is shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.[2] Google One replaced the paid services of Google Drive to emphasize the fact that the program is used by multiple Google Services.[3] The program's raw storage is not accessible by users, but emails, files, and pictures can be added and removed through Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos.

[high wind]

what if the phone is non-bootable

[pale star]

💀💀

[gentle trail]

You've surely got backups of the important data, right?

[pale star]

then you bricked it

[high wind]

da-da-da 😋

[gentle trail]

Because it's just as easy to lose a phone with it's SD card as it is to break it

[pale star]

nah

it can backup contacts, messages, all that stuff

what even is icloud btw

[high wind]

online backups -- pfft -- is it reliable

[gentle trail]

Normal Google accounts back all that up, I think Google One only adds MMS message/uncompressed photo backups

[jaunty tartan]

Driver easy Pro activation code? Anyone?

[pale star]

given the price of the phone its worth it 😂

like for $1100

[gentle trail]

Samsung has Smart Switch which is entirely local/free/also backs up all the stuff Google One does

[pale star]

i can get a beast pc

nah

it isnt

[gentle trail]

stfu both of you

[high wind]

beast PC's are value PC in 18 months

[pale star]

it needs to be refurbished like 3 times if it is

[gentle trail]

No? If a PC is a budget/value PC 18 months after it was bought it was pretty low end to begin with, lol.

[pale star]

its $550 here

[high wind]

Well it depends on how hard nVidia push the RTX 6090 😌

[pale star]

5090**

[high wind]

no no no 6090 lol

being 18 months advance,,,

[pale star]

5090 will come out in 2024

[gentle trail]

They're going to end the generation that just started, have a complete whole other generation there, then release the 6090 in the next 18 months?

[high wind]

yerp

it is the nvidia way

[gentle trail]

That's just as stupid as claiming a high-end PC becomes a budget PC in 18 months.

You clearly don't pay any attention to trends.

[pale star]

nah a graphics card comes out in 2 years

[high wind]

aka 18 months

[pale star]

ye

[gentle trail]

You're talking two generations out

[pale star]

close

[gentle trail]

Fine, like 1.95 generations out

[pale star]

stop talking math

[gentle trail]

The 6000 series from nvidia isn't going to be out until maybe 2026

Probably 2027

[high wind]

TBH I think nVidia are pushing their premium status too far... the whole 4080 12GB card thing... nVidia need to be careful, AMD may absolutely trump them in their next release. Way cheaper products for the same performance...

[pale star]

well amd ray tracing does kinda suck tho

[gentle trail]

No DLSS too

FSR isn't the same

[high wind]

hmm well we need to wait for their next product line to be sure

[pale star]

thats their problems

but they can maybe push it

and still outprice nvidia

nvidia is becoming overkill

[tacit falcon]

Is there something I can buy cheaply to mount a nvme drive or ssd drive externally to backup data etc

[gentle trail]

AMD's also got years of middling reputation in the GPU market to shake

I doubt I'm the only one hesitant to buy one after getting burned

[pale star]

my uncle has an rx 580 💀

[gentle trail]

From what I've gathered anyone who bought an AMD card between like the ATI HD 5000 series and the RX 6000 series was taking a gamble.

[urban talon]

Hmmm

hd 6xxx looked solid ?

hd 7xxx aged very fine (> hd 76xx)

[gentle trail]

My hd6750 died really prematurely. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I only got like 4 years off of it

[urban talon]

Well it's hard to tell depending on who manufactured the card

[gentle trail]

I can't recall.

[urban talon]

was it a gpu issue or powerdelivery

its hard to tell sometimes

[gentle trail]

It was a GPU issue, it'd only boot with the basic driver

[urban talon]

57xx had issues at launch indeed

vega well problem was that some manu didnt put a correct cooler or implemented it well

hello asus strix skill issue\

when a sapphire pulse was good

Fury i dont recall for drivers

but felt like at some point weird stuff was happening to those gcn 1.2 boards

(and 380x)

[pale star]

introducing, the RTX 13090.
with 512GB of GDDRXXARRIV12 VRAM and 2560 CUDA 3.1 Premium cores, in a price of only $5000 and only 3500W of power required

[gentle trail]

Seriously, though, I did have to calculate the load on the circuit in my livingroom before I got my 3090ti.

I can't game while a vacuum is plugged in anymore, I don't think.

Not that I make a habit of gaming and vacuuming

[high wind]

Good luck boiling 1 Litre of water while gaming on a 3090 or 4090 😞

[gentle trail]

My kitchen is on a different circuit

[high wind]

well lucky your toaster isnt running a 4090

[pale star]

i dont even know about electricity in my house lol, i mostly just cook, or do housework

[high wind]

I think Silicon is reaching a 'boiling point' and we need something like Quantum Computing to continue.

[gentle trail]

None of the circuits in my house were labeled, I went through and tested all of them with a bunch of lamps stuck to outlets all around the house and labeled them when I moved in.

[sinful furnace]

What's the delay like on lttstore order to dispatch? I assume you guys got a huge amount in during blackfriday.

[high wind]

most circuits are rated 10 Amps so you should be fine in most circumstances (unless you have a 4090 hehe)

[gentle trail]

Most are 15A or 20A here.

[stable grail]

wow, have you guys seen unreal engine 5.1 yet

[high wind]

240v here, it'll be different for 110v/120v

[gentle trail]

I have 120v for most outlets/240v for my dryer/air conditioner

[high wind]

oh ok

[gentle trail]

And a 240v utility plug in my garage that I never use anymore

[tropic juniper]

Yes. They added a big update to the Nanite. It now supports foliage without the need to have separate LODs

[high wind]

ok well 10A seems average for 240v

[hollow pulsar]

Neat

[high wind]

nice

(unreal)

(amazing)

[stable grail]

Yeah its looks crazy good now

[high wind]

so the foliage generates its own LODS I guess

[tropic juniper]

something like that

makes artists job easier

[high wind]

or it just uses the big texture on the fly to render the smaller LOD

[drowsy bay]

hello

[high wind]

one big texture = many LOD levels

on the fly 🪰

maybe it just reads every eight pixels or something like that

[gentle trail]

Anyone ever replaced the foam in an office chair? I've got an older chair that's fine other than the foam being flat.

I was thinking if just pulled the staples off holding the fabric on the foam would be easy to replace

[tropic juniper]

where are you going to get the foam?

https://foamonline.com/cube/ Firm High Density Foam in 20.000"L x 20.000"W x 3.000"H rectangles x1 added to cart.
Total: $24 -- not bad

[distant wren]

Well interesting concept can try but requires allot of labour

[gentle trail]

Not sure on that, I was still trying to find it. I need to take apart my chair to see if the foam is fitted or not too.

And decide if it's a shape I can cut or need to buy

[gentle trail]

It's a nice mesh-backed chair that's still basically in perfect shape, it just needs new foam.

I've had it for 5 years now

[tropic juniper]

only one way to find out then

[somber sphinx]

guys can someone please help? i keep on getting BSOD with code WHEA UNCONTROLLABLE ERROR

it started when yesterday i launched spiderman remastered at very high settings on gtx 1650ti and 8gb ram

[gentle trail]

That's a hardware issue. You need to isolate which component is causing it.

[somber sphinx]

i have a laptop, how do i check?

[gentle trail]

It may just be something needs reseated, might be something overheating, it might be something just failed

[somber sphinx]

how bad can it be?

[distant wren]

Buying new laptop bad

🤷‍♂️

[somber sphinx]

bro

i cannot spend 800$ wtf

[full fossil]

Okay, we will change the error to be max 10€ you need to pay

[somber sphinx]
