lol

[gilded quest]

yeah thats gonna put you on some sort of list

[molten drift]

[dawn birch]

Typo

[molten drift]

I'm not googling it.... I told the person who said their 13 to Google the specific phrase I said. ...

[dawn birch]

Inb4 it's a "I've hidden $40k USD under your skin" challenge

[wheat dune]

sounds great to me

[gilded quest]

this is the least likely way to get $500 out of everything mentioned so far

its your domain

[polar fern]

Yeah, so what you’re basically doing is using an ablest discriminatory term.

[polar wedge]

thats not the problem the literaly own a trademark on providernamesucks

[slate tulip]

As long as you aren’t using a domain to impersonate a company or to squat, they can’t stop you

[slate tulip]

Doesn’t matter

[jaunty compass]

I hope you're memeing right now, because otherwise you're very new to the internet and are not going to be happy when you see any other ...thing

💀

[polar fern]

anyone can own a domain, as long as it’s not intentionally impersonations

[slate tulip]

Toyota or something tried to sue some dude, but it was his name and he used for himself, so they couldn’t do anything about it and lost in court

[polar fern]

Maybe you should read what I’m saying, and learn about how harmful and wrong your words can be regardless of your feelings or opinions.

@slate tulip I think I remember that case

[jaunty compass]

bro
You're getting mad at me and calling me ablest for saying something is dumb
Piss off

[slate tulip]

I’m trying to find an article, but it might not have been toyota, but it was close somehow

[polar fern]

Internet domains are basically like real property. Anyone can own within specific limits.

As long as you are not actively attempting to draw business away or impersonate, usually they can’t do anything

[slate tulip]

You can’t own a domain and host a website on it that makes people think you are a fast food restaurant named “mcdonalds”

[polar wedge]

they *needed *to switch my router ||5 ||times this ||month ||and i had to pay for all of them

[full fossil]

no one cant do anything :V

[polar fern]

Well, that would be trademark infringement

[slate tulip]

But you can be a farmer named Old McDonald, and own mcdonalds.farm that’s about your farm and they can’t touch you

[fossil frost]

other than the fact that larger companies often have much deeper pockets than you do, and they can tie you up in litigation hell for as long as your bank account lasts, which wont be as long as theirs will

[polar fern]

Well, yeah

[full fossil]

pirate websites still use same domain for decades now, it cant be taken down OwO im not sure how even lol

[polar fern]

I can get pretty petty & spiteful

[rugged bridge]

they use different TLDs

[slate tulip]

Because you can’t just sieze a domain from another country without violating treaties, losing trust, etc

[fossil frost]

you dont have to have done something wrong for a person or company to take you to court and ruin your life, because you are just a spec of dust to a company like mcdonalds or microsoft or google or facebook

[polar fern]

Like maybe work on making your bathrooms clean and paying your employees properly and giving them proper benefits instead of trying to sue someone who is using a similarly spelled domain but wtf do I know 🤔🤷‍♂️🤣

[full fossil]

those countries have laws too, but they dont do anything xD

[slate tulip]

Could the root DNS servers override the pirate bay? Yup. But the US doesn’t control some of the domains they use, legally

[full fossil]

idk what that is 😭

[rugged bridge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain

[slate tulip]

But in some of those countries, it’s not a crime, and we can’t just impose our will on another country

[full fossil]

can i get a shorter version in 20 words or less? OwO

[polar fern]

No, but you can impose sanctions

[slate tulip]

I own a 2x2 domain, haven’t done anything with it yet

[rugged bridge]

Basically ".com" or ".net"

[slate tulip]

Which are all subdomains of the root TLD . 😛

[full fossil]

i see xP well, the pirate bay uses .com for ever i think OwO

[polar fern]

A top level domain is like aol.com, but then underneath that is all of the branches hosted by aol such as news or Stocks or Weather and so on

Basically it’s like the front door

[fossil frost]

com is the top level domain, aol.com is technically a subdomain of com

[slate tulip]

In fact, that only thing that stops Pat Gelsinger from having the email address pat@intel is convention. It is a technically legal email address, but the RFCs say not to put MX records on TLDs

[polar fern]

Listen here sonny jim

[full fossil]

i prefer onion hidden services, now thats privacy >:3 i should host something there

[wheat dune]

is there any cheap alternative for a laptop cooling pad

[slate tulip]

Yes. And com is technically a subdomain of the root zone, .

[rugged bridge]

yes 2 pc fans and zipties / duct tape

[polar fern]

You could use a box fan for a desk

[fossil frost]

yep, putting it on a hard surface rather than your knee, so it has room to breath

[wheat dune]

how is that cheap

[polar fern]

Do you mean cheap or do you mean jank? because there’s a difference

[wheat dune]

its literally on my desk

[graceful burrow]

2 fans set you back 6 bucks if you get cheapo ones
Duct tape is 3 bucks
Zip ties are the same or less
Seems cheap to me

[slate tulip]

I get annoyed when websites enforce incorrect emails

[rugged bridge]

exact

[wheat dune]

buying new fans is literally more expensive than buying a cooling pad

[graceful burrow]

No it isn't lmao

[slate tulip]

They only stopping me from having the email address me@gorian is money

[polar fern]

What country are you in for this to be happening?

[fossil frost]

isnt it about 200 grand just to apply to create a new tld?

and then you have to prove you can maintain it

[polar fern]

@slate tulip that applies to a lot of things

[slate tulip]

I don’t think thing the application fee is that much, but the infrastructure to maintain it is certainly expensive

[polar fern]

Just lease datacentre space ez

[wheat dune]

where the hell do you find fans for 6 bucks

[rugged bridge]

amazon

ebay

[polar fern]

Ali express

[rugged bridge]

ali express

[polar fern]

Jinx

[rugged bridge]

(i dont use this so idk)

[graceful burrow]

All of the above

[slate tulip]

But yeah, the proper way to parse and validate email:

1. An @ symbol
2. A string the left
3. A string to the right
4. You can send an email to the address

That’s it

[rugged bridge]

lmao look at this

[wheat dune]

aight fair enough

where do i duct tape it on tho

[jaunty compass]

cheap ebay fans lol

you can get unbranded ones for very little money

[polar fern]

https://a.co/d/axhwuNu

[finite cloud]

I wanna see a build with just those

They are gonna be loud af I know it already

[timber coral]

dumb

[polar fern]

Fire fan

[wheat dune]

can you describe how i put them on the laptop

[jaunty compass]

lmao

[polar fern]

You make a strap using duct tape & make holes for the fans

Ez

You should also get something to put the laptop on to raise it up for clearance for the fans

[rugged bridge]

yea

[polar fern]

I mean heck, even a couple of toilet paper rolls cut in half would probably do the job fine

[wheat dune]

so like a book

[polar fern]

No

Think legs on a corner like a table

[wheat dune]

ah

[rugged bridge]

if you have some like spare bolts or something that fit through the fan holes and are long enough that could work as well

[polar fern]

If you put it on a book, then the fans will also be sitting on the book which means that there is no airflow

[wheat dune]

but like i got 0 experience with the fans thing how do i power the fans

[rugged bridge]

random 12v adapter
strip wires and do a jank connection

[polar fern]

Yeah, you could extend the feet down, but then you might need to worry about bending the mounts it might break the bottom case

Toilet paper roll or paper towel roll, should work fine long as they are cut to the same height

[wheat dune]

so its literally just usb

[polar fern]

You could also duct tape those on

[wheat dune]

still dont get why i need duct tape then

[polar fern]

Make sure the fans are blowing down and away from the laptop, or you’ll end up with a case, full of dust

Because you need a way to keep the fans up against the bottom case of the laptop

[rugged bridge]

nah bro you get the duct tape then it lasts for anything else you do in the future

that stuffs useful for so many things

[wheat dune]

ye i know but if they are literally just usb then why do i need duct tape for the fans

[graceful burrow]

Usb does not provide 12v

Rather, no usb you'd be using would be providing 12v

[rugged bridge]

if you got an old router adapter lying around those are usually good for the job

[graceful burrow]

He's gonna start a fire lmao

[wheat dune]

man i feel like a 5 year old rn

so basically what you want me to do is buy some fans, put my laptop on some paper rolls, and blow the fans against the laptop

[graceful burrow]

Basically

[rugged bridge]

at the end of the day its up to you what you want to do

[wheat dune]

ig

but like my laptop has this mode where the fans go crazy speeds (faster than the speed of light) wouldnt that work

if i just put it on some paper rolls

[graceful burrow]

Why ask us when you're the only one here who can test it

[wheat dune]

idk i was scared i was gonna blow up my room into pieces

[rugged bridge]

12v is not enough to shock you or really blow things up for that matter

[wheat dune]

fair enough

[rugged bridge]

the worst you could do is burn out the fans by wiring it incorrectly

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt lick it though

[rugged bridge]

no ofc not thats just asking for trouble

[dawn birch]

... and here I am that did that as a kid

To a point where my dad's like "test this to see if it's dead" current day

[rugged bridge]

*mmm yes * 9v batteries

[wheat dune]

also what does thernal throddling mean

[dawn birch]

Why yes I do want acid near my tongue

[rugged bridge]

you could search this on google

[graceful burrow]

Have you Googled the term "thermal throttling?"

[dawn birch]

It's running hot enough to cause the components to degrade rapidly

[graceful burrow]

That's not thermal throttling

You should Google it too

[wheat dune]

yeah but there came like 3 different explainations so i thought it would be more safe to ask you

[dawn birch]

Good idea

[rugged bridge]

public-chat more like "chatgpt-chat"

[polar fern]

Thermal throttle is like a circuit breaker, unless you damage the heated object

[dawn birch]

Why yes an AI bought a Floatplane sub, how did you know

[molten drift]

Your part is not getting adiquate cooling so it isreducing it's preformance down to reduce heat.

[wheat dune]

ah

[molten drift]

No idea

[rugged bridge]

that's actually a really good simple explanation

[graceful burrow]

It isn't

[rugged bridge]

for me it is

[graceful burrow]

It's a good explanation of thermal safety shutdown, Not throttling

[polar fern]

If a processor emits more heat than is taken away by its cooling package, the processor will slow down to reduce the emitted heat

[graceful burrow]

That's a good explanation

[wheat dune]

it was just this guy who said he once got 300 fps on a 1050ti and an 8th gen i7 laptop witch is the same as me except i get 60 and he just said that he cooled it down for better performance

[rugged bridge]

same game? same settings?

[polar fern]

300 fans per spectator

[rugged bridge]

300 teraflops per megafart

[wheat dune]

i dunno but i always play the lowest settings

[polar fern]

Do you have Vsync enabled?

[wheat dune]

this was pretty much what he said

¨since you have an external monitor, keyboard and mouse you could do what i did - put the laptop on a cooling pad (=with fans or a coolplate) and close the lid. thatll keep it nice and cool and boost performance
maybe you're thernal throddling¨

[polar fern]

You should not close the screen, because part of the heat actually comes up through the keyboard and top case on most toasty bois

You can close it most of the way, but you should not latch it shut

[rugged bridge]

you can disable the laptop screen and only have external monitor

[polar fern]

Disabling the laptop built in screen may also increase the external monitor performance, depending on your chipset and connectivity

[rugged bridge]

or you can do what i did and just rip the fucking thing off

[wheat dune]

thats one way to do it

[polar fern]

On my ThinkPad that I don’t use anymore. It had an option to turn off the built-in screen when an external monitor was present.

[delicate wagon]

What crypto exchange do you use for every low fees? Got some ltc I want to put into my bank

[graceful burrow]

#crypto-currency

[delicate wagon]

Thanks

[graceful burrow]

No welcome

[polar fern]

😲

[wheat dune]

aight but was it just bs what the guy said or can you actually get 300 fps on a 1050ti and an 8th gen i7 laptop with an external screen

[polar fern]

I am actually tempted to put my Mac Pro back in service doing folding at home if only for the cpu heat

[leaden gale]

300fps on what exactly

[polar fern]

The difference between 60 frames per second and 300 frames per second is not a laptop cooling pad all else being equal

[rugged bridge]

it would also depend what other apps you might have open in the backgound

[wheat dune]

MSI GL62M 7REX - 1252CN . Intel i7 7700HQ, 1050 TI 15.6" gaming laptop

[rugged bridge]

what game

[wheat dune]

fortnite

[wheat dune]

just discord

[rugged bridge]

see the thing with that

[polar fern]

Is vsync enabled

[rugged bridge]

it also depends where you are and what your doing in the game

[wheat dune]

no

[polar fern]

Ok

[fossil frost]

fortnite has a built in frame limiter, is that set to 60fps? because it is set to 60 by default

[wheat dune]

ik ik but no matter when and where i am in fn i will max get 120

[rugged bridge]

@wheat dune

[wheat dune]

its set to unlimited

[polar fern]

Minecraft also has a framerate limit slider

[rugged bridge]

in the lobby, fortnite limits fps to 120 max

[abstract sluice]

Just wondering, should I get a monitor or just get a small TV to save money? What's the disadvantages of a TV

[wheat dune]

aight, ill need a diff screen for more than 144fps if i wanna go up to 300 anyways

[polar fern]

I have never played two weeks, so I don’t know anything about it, but 60 fps is pretty good if it’s staying there & not dipping

@abstract sluice viewing distance?

[rugged bridge]

also dont forget if you dont have a monitor capable of more than 60fps anything above that is usually pointless

[wheat dune]

so a ill need a 300hz or higher

[abstract sluice]

Around 4 feet

Maybe 5

[polar fern]

A tv won’t have the same calibration & image tools etc that a monitor typically has

[rugged bridge]

no, what im saying is, if your monitor is only 60hz it doesn't matter whether or not you can get 300fps

[polar fern]

Plus the refresh rate on most TVs is pretty terrible

[rugged bridge]

dont get me started on response times

[polar fern]

The pixel pitch and the brightness is probably also going to not be as good as a dedicated monitor

[wheat dune]

yeah i know, my external screen is 144hz so ill need a better one if i wanna go up to 300 fps right?

[polar fern]

If you were going to hook this thing up to a computer for watching movies and YouTube and stuff, then a TV is fine but if you’re going to be doing gaming or anything else really, then you wanna have a monitor

[finite cloud]

There’s not really a need to do that. Id say max you should have is 165 since a lot of them do that. 120 or 144 is the sweet spot which most can do

[finite cloud]

In reply to this sorry

[polar fern]

120 hz is where I have mine set

[finite cloud]

Same

[rugged bridge]

there is almost no noticeable difference between 144hz and 240/250/300hz

[finite cloud]

My monitor does 144 overclock but every time I turn it on I get weird issues so I’m leaving it on 120

[polar fern]

Okay, I need to have some food before I pass out from my blood sugar

[summer folio]

Diabetus?

[polar fern]

Mine is 144 hz native but since it’s an APU I figure 120 probably better

[wheat dune]

aight so its possible for me, with a laptop and a 144hz external screen to get 300 fps technically?

[polar fern]

No. I am poor and I have a high metabolism and I suffer from PTSD amongst other things so sometimes putting a meal together feels like climbing Mount Everest.

[rugged bridge]

300fps doesnt matter, the maximum refresh rate you can perceive with your monitor is 144

[wheat dune]

what

[polar fern]

The graphics processor output can be 300 frames per second, but unless your whole hardware picture is set up to do that. It will just be a number on the screen and the amount of frames that you were actually seeing a second will not be 300 it will be some lower number.

[rugged bridge]

the max logical fps for you is 144

[finite cloud]

You shouldn’t do more frames then your monitor can support because that causes issues

[polar fern]

More like 152.7 but 🤷‍♂️🤣

[rugged bridge]

like screen tearing ^

[wheat dune]

then why do people say having 240 fps is better than 144

[finite cloud]

Because it’s more FPS

But it’s not that much better

[rugged bridge]

and for input delay, alothough it makes .1 of a difference

[polar fern]

what they are trying to say is anything over 144 Hz is useless

The graphics processor might be able to draw so many frames in a second, but our eyes don’t need that many frames per second

It’s like saying that your mini Cooper has 10,000 hp, but there is nowhere that you can safely or reasonably use the power

[wheat dune]

aight, seems like i learned alot

thanks

[polar fern]

Alot isn’t a word ❤️🤓

[rugged bridge]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

You can probably get windows 10 on it maximum

[rugged bridge]

windows 11 requires tpm 2 and at least 8th gen intel cpu

[polar fern]

The original owner of WD-40, was the rocket chemical company

[full fossil]

I haven't got into it yet

[fossil frost]

"requires"

[finite cloud]

[full fossil]

I mean upgrade as in better parts, I added the part about windows 7 to add to how old it was

[finite cloud]

Oh, parts. Yeah you definitely can

[rugged bridge]

ik.. just microsoft being big dumb

[finite cloud]

But who’s to say what you can and cannot install it on

[fossil frost]

no, its microsoft trying to impose a bit of security. and everybody flipped their shit about it

[full fossil]

I don't wanna have to install a whole new cooling system or something so I wanna see what is the most i can get out of it

[rugged bridge]

fair..

[finite cloud]

Some basic things you can start with are probably ram and a SSD. An SSD will help performance greatly

Give a clean too. Repaste the CPU

[rugged bridge]

thats if you can get the cooler off

[finite cloud]

I’m sure you can

[rugged bridge]

OEMs make it increasingly hard to open up latptops

tho its an older one so it might be alright

[rugged bridge]

ahh alright

even better

[jaunty compass]

for a gpu

[finite cloud]

Mostly likely no

[rugged bridge]

i figured..

[full fossil]

ye

[long briar]

what's the difference between 8th gen intel and 6th gen intel

[summer folio]

Just like 32-bit OS & max 4GB RAM.

[finite cloud]

There are GPUs that can work without power like the 3050 or 1050ti

[rugged bridge]

you can always take the route of changing the case and gettign a different psu and gpu

[summer folio]

or GT 710

[rugged bridge]

gt 710 worse than integrated graphics 💀

[full fossil]

I'm doing a budget build cause I'm poor asf so I wanna start with a basic decent gpu and cpu and get the most bang out of my buck

[summer folio]

Totally can do Raytracing.

[full fossil]

I might open it up soon to see whats in it right now

[finite cloud]

That should be the first thing you do

[rugged bridge]

i know, can't wait to be blown away by my start menu opening in 3 fps

[full fossil]

if I get a new cpu and gpu I probably will need a new power supply, tho depends on what I do

[finite cloud]

Idk if you can get a new cpu. I mean you might but it might be hard

[rugged bridge]

if you get a new cpu youll need a new mobo

[long briar]

Linus drop tips

[full fossil]

new linus video just dropped

[slow thorn]

Bought a Lenovo desktop from 2011 got 5$ from a recycling center today

Trying to install Linux on it rn

And later when I get the right screw driver ima swap the cpu out with a ryzen 3

Not sure what model of ryzen 3

I just know ruzen 3

Since why not

Solid low to mid range processor

[long briar]

not gonna work

[slow thorn]

The power supply seems to be around the required voltage

Kinda just wanna see

[long briar]

the CPU in there is gonna be an Athlon or Phenom more likely Athlon along the lines of an X2 B26

[slow thorn]

Ik

[long briar]

voltage has been standard for the past 20 years chief

[slow thorn]

But I just wanna see what will happen

[long briar]

it's not gonna fit

you're wasting money

[fossil frost]

you will mangle the pins, because its a completely different socket

[slow thorn]

Well ima check first

[fossil frost]

i can check for you now... its not going to fit... i used a crystal ball

[slow thorn]

I'm dumb but not that dumb cheif

[fossil frost]

wtf... where has my purple gone

[long briar]

Seriously you're tossing money away if you wanna find out

[slow thorn]

Dude

[long briar]

I can personally guarantee you it's gonna be an AM3 socket

[slow thorn]

I'm not just gonna jam it in there

[long briar]

which was before the FX8350.

[fossil frost]

leave them to it, they are trolling, or an idiot

[long briar]

noted

[slow thorn]

Your probably right

Actually scratch that

Most likely right

@fossil frost I'm not gonna do it

I was just asking if I should

[night heron]

[slow thorn]

Well more so not asking but judging by reactions if I should or not

Since this community knows better then me

[long briar]

I'm gonna bet the CPU is an Athlon X2 B22 or B26

[slow thorn]

Probably

Still gotta admit tho

5$ is a deal

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585> has twitch sub been killed as a role?

[pliant karma]

Hmm tools I see.

Nice collection

Oh yeah you have a crap ton

[pliant karma]

They're work pcs from my mom's works soooo I cannot sell them since serial number can be traced back to the company. I can donate them but they're old enough I think no place wants them.

though I can beef them up a but on ram and ssd and donate

[ruby venture]

I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why my front rgb doesn’t turn on…… Turns out I frogot to plug the SATA power into the rgb hub

[finite cloud]

Give them to your friends and say it’s a donation

[fossil frost]

if they are particularly noteworthy, there are places like the micro museum in the uk (similar places in other parts of the world too), that love stuff like that where they can put it on display

[pliant karma]

if only they didn't have better systems then it

[night heron]

7th gen i5 office pc, plus an extra 8gb of ram (it came with 8) and a rx480, in a shiny new case... made an excellent first gaming pc for my 10yo

I have an adata and a wd black both 1tb nvme, still chuggin just fine after 2 years

20tbw

[pliant karma]

I'm close

[sonic barn]

It's good for up to 1200tbw

[hard oriole]

make sure to run backups lol

[sonic barn]

So minimum 500tbw

Or 0 because if it explodes

[pliant karma]

lucky bastard me only has windows on it. Nothing else, so if it goes poof I am safe cause everything else is backed up

[sonic barn]

I have no backups but I can restart fresh easily

[pliant karma]

yea if I restart might as well hop on board windows 11 when i say I will never use it until my next pc lol

[pliant karma]

lol my 970 is just vibing there like nothing will take its life

[hard oriole]

I would still like to image my os drive. Saves some software setup headache.

And Even though I usually reinstall I like to be able to boot up the image in ViBoot since I kinda know where I put things on that install lol

[sullen jacinth]

Is anyone by chance on the OpenAI discord? It won't let me verify.

[pliant karma]

I have a clonezilla cd I can boot off of to make an image of thre is that

[rugged bridge]

im there

[hard oriole]

I haven't used it. Kinda used to macrium since I use it at work

[sullen jacinth]

Would you mind poking a mod to PM me? Verification has been broke for the past 2 months, so I don't think it is something I can fix.

[hard oriole]

And that installs a rescue environment on the drive accessible via the bootloader and can do incremental backups while booted

[rugged bridge]

weird, cause i joined it less than 2 months ago and successfully verified

[sullen jacinth]

Yeah, idk. They locked off their server so I can't even dm a mod and ask for help. Not a clue. I figured it was just time I reach out to someone and see if it was fixable.

[unkempt widget]

my 970 evo is at 99% after a lot of use (13tb reads and 28tb writes)

he didn't bother putting case fans on

he put 1 stick of 32gb ram because that was just sitting there

but I also know some people that would do that so...

he just didn't use it

my boot drive (970 evo) is on a pcie gen 4 lane (the primary) and he put the new one (980 pro) on a gen 3 lane (the secondary)

handbrake renders go to my c drive

holy shit

mine is still 100%

and those handbrake renders were in excess of 2gb so that was the kicker

[hard oriole]

yeah i think what sent mine over the edge might have been me rendering to it last night lol

[unkempt widget]

my 970 evo pro is at 99% but it did read 13tb and write 28tb

[pliant karma]

kill me I have to go through this shit. But I'll just beat my 870 qvo 2tb

[unkempt widget]

now my main question is how it determines that it's 99% good

and not 100%

[pliant karma]

in the process of encoding some flight videos

[unkempt widget]

what does that mean

[pliant karma]

compressing the file size so it's smaller

most of the videos I have for flight sim are in excess of 2gb.

whats raid 0

[manic torrent]

google is your friend.

[balmy lotus]

ok

redundant array of independent disks
RAID 0 (disk striping) is the process of dividing a body of data into blocks and spreading the data blocks across multiple storage devices, such as hard disks or solid-state drives (SSDs), in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) group.

Following are the key points to remember for RAID level 0.

Minimum 2 disks.
Excellent performance ( as blocks are striped ).
No redundancy ( no mirror, no parity ).
Don’t use this for any critical system.

[leaden gale]

RAID 0 really only exists for shits and giggles, do not save any important data on a RAID 0 array unless you have reliable backups elsewhere

keychron

[full fossil]

what model

C1?

[manic torrent]

go to the website. Get what you like

[night timber]

dissembled this whole ps2 and considering this is my first time opening up a console my brain hurts

only broke one part!

[leaden gale]

What'd you break

Hopefully it wasn't something essential to the operation of the unit

[jaunty compass]

it's not just me that thinks it's dumb how a bunch of tech youtubers seem to think that the steam deck needs like
a core spec upgrade with higher performance and like a 6800u or whatever; I'm not the only one who thinks that's really dumb, right

[wispy marsh]

It's not dumb

[jaunty compass]

i hate disassembling consoles they're so 💀

[wispy marsh]

It's just expensive

[jaunty compass]

do you want to know why I think it's dumb?

[manic torrent]

awesome, hacking stuff is fun

[jaunty compass]

five words and one comma

[wispy marsh]

It relates to "power draw" and "expensive"

[jaunty compass]

Performance per watt, battery life

[wispy marsh]

Nailed it

[full fossil]

im gonna go to bed and think about life

[wispy marsh]

Sleep with one eye open

[jaunty compass]

not really, you thought i was going to say price

[wispy marsh]

Gripping your pillow tight

[full fossil]

please dont steal my feet

[jaunty compass]

but the deck is a portable handheld device that has to run off of a battery.

[full fossil]

why do I feel like I'm about to get sexed

[jaunty compass]

the apu in it was specifically optimized to have super good performance per watt so that they could make the most of what they have in the device

[manic torrent]

because you don't know metallica lyrics

[full fossil]

I prefer slipknot, a7x, lorna shore, chelsea grin and such

well I like Lux AEterna

and that's by metallica

[wispy marsh]

Lux Æterna is a good song

[jaunty compass]

the deck already doesn't have amazing battery life, and a higher power model would just have even less.
so personally, i think these tech youtubers who want a higher power deck with a dedicated gpu are just dumb

it's a handheld with an 800p display

[wispy marsh]

Exit light

[full fossil]

agreed

[manic torrent]

This is 1991 metallica from the black album. Although it's arguably one of their most famous songs. Pretty much every song on it is a banger

[full fossil]

listening to it rn

[wispy marsh]

LOL

[leaden gale]

Valve will take any architectural improvements and allocate them to improve performance per watt and battery life

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, that topic is not allowed here

[jaunty compass]

I know, and that's a good thing

[full fossil]

metallica song starting with screaming and ending with cide

[manic torrent]

yeah but what if @jaunty compass is right and they are stupid and don't know anythingQWER@#TGEV?FDAWESHJFGVSDFB

[leaden gale]

They recognize that the Deck, much like the Switch, doesn't need to be souped-up to be playable and enjoyable

[wispy marsh]

Both songs have the Kill Em All vibes

[full fossil]

asdjfgasdvuahgbsdf;hjb

[wispy marsh]

I love it

[full fossil]

both songs are bangers

[jaunty compass]

what?

[wispy marsh]

Lux reminds me of Seek & Destroy

[manic torrent]

I'm saying your take is ridiculous

[jaunty compass]

what do you think my take is

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHMqIZh7XfY

[jaunty compass]

because bro chrys just agreed with me I'm not sure you understood my point

my point is that a higher power steam deck revision is a stupid idea right now

[wispy marsh]

A high power stream deck is a good idea

[jaunty compass]

tell me why it's a good idea

[full fossil]

f

[wispy marsh]

More buttons, more macros

[jaunty compass]

what?

[wispy marsh]

You ain't reading "stream deck" correctly

[jaunty compass]

you're going to brazil

[full fossil]

[wispy marsh]

Brasil has great nuts

[full fossil]

😏

[wispy marsh]

They just don't have deez nuts

[jaunty compass]

i feel like you don't realize what my take is, what did you think it was

[manic torrent]

I realise what your take is, but the fundamental assumptions behind it are ridiculous.

[jaunty compass]

what "fundamental assumptions" are you talking about

[wispy marsh]

Dietz nuts

[manic torrent]

The steam deck will not appreciably increase in power/heat. The budget is there, and it's reasonable

the hardware that can fit within that power budget, if it can be increased? excellent!

[jaunty compass]

it it used a 6800u it would
the 6800u performs terribly in the power range the deck operates at

[lilac sage]

its gonan be zen2 again prob

[jaunty compass]

i definitely feel like you misunderstood what i was saying

[manic torrent]

You're against something that clearly won't actually work ....

wooo, what a hot take

[lilac sage]

i feel like ur talking more about some1 misunderstanding ur take without stating ur take

[full fossil]

jawa

[lilac sage]

I dont know what the take is

[manic torrent]

AMD and valve will work together, and if they are changing the APU, they will obviously tune it appropriately.

[sage quiver]

EEEEEXXXIIITTT LIIIIIGHT

[jaunty compass]

did you not read the original message?
What i was complaining about was people who unreasonably want like a 6800u and dedicated gpu in a deck pro or something

[sage quiver]

I had to

Gn folks

[lilac sage]

gn

[full fossil]

gn

[jaunty compass]

the original message that was my actual take was this
"it's not just me that thinks it's dumb how a bunch of tech youtubers seem to think that the steam deck needs like a core spec upgrade with higher performance and like a 6800u or whatever; I'm not the only one who thinks that's really dumb, right"

[lilac sage]

dont they just want the 6800U because thats what the competitors have?

[jaunty compass]

yeah basically

[lilac sage]

and the main reason why is because the 6800U is the only U series to have 12 RDNA2 CUs

[manic torrent]

LIKE a 6800U.
You: omg that specific chip has poor performance at the wattage of the steam deck

you're just finding ways to try to be clever

[lilac sage]

cuz amd aint making custom chips for AYA or GPD

[jaunty compass]

this was my original fucking message that i said before i spoke to you

if you think that it was phrased that way because i'm trying to deceive you, you definitely think too highly of yourself

[manic torrent]

you're not trying to deceive people per se.

[jaunty compass]

I said "like a 6800u" in reference to a current higher power apu chip, which is what people are wanting valve to do; even though it's an unreasonable request.

[manic torrent]

also "a bunch of tech youtubers" - I don't know who these people are and what they have said, I only know this because it's the point you've setup to knock down

[full fossil]

sup moko

[lilac sage]

you could tune a 6800U to draw as much as the steam deck

[manic torrent]

also them saying "I would really like it if it had more processing power" - that's a valid take.

[lilac sage]

it just wouldnt be worth the cost

[lilac sage]

👍

[jaunty compass]

People are wanting an upgrade to the deck for the hardware to be as fast as something like the aya neo 2 next

when the steam deck is a device that costs as low as $400

but people seem to want it to be as fast as devices that are multiple times the price for a minimal increase in cost

[graceful burrow]

The speed of the steam deck is perfectly fine imo

[jaunty compass]

and want an upgrade to the core specs right now when that would break one strength the deck has that is pretty major

[lilac sage]

im sure people want that but noone really thinks its realistic at this point

[jaunty compass]

it very much is

[dawn birch]

you know what would be a good upgrade for the steam deck

[graceful burrow]

I want real vibration motors lmao

[jaunty compass]

This is my point, it's not realistic and i don't know why people seem to be begging for it when it just came out

[dawn birch]

better battery life

[jaunty compass]

based

[lilac sage]

maybe in a few years when 5nm becomes as cheap as 7nm was in 2019 maybe we can talk

[jaunty compass]

better battery life would be appreciated, yeah; but it's not horrible in my experience

it's okay

[timid meadow]

External laptop panel style batteries instead of the giant bricks we all know? Strap it on like a false back

[lilac sage]

I dont think its really real begging. Its just an imagining of what it would be like

[manic torrent]

perhaps they don't know that? perhaps they think a different value proposition would be better? perhaps they don't have money or significant battery life as a concern?

[lilac sage]

like I always joke about that I cant wait for the RTX 5070

it would be a cheaper 4090

[jaunty compass]

the $2000 rtx 5060 ti

[lilac sage]

but that thing isnt coming for 2 years

[jaunty compass]

can't wait

[lilac sage]

so its something to look forward to

[jaunty compass]

i'm not excited about the 50 series rtx cards at all tbh
I'm more excited about the midrange rx 7000 cards

[lilac sage]

cant wait for the next steamdeck to outperform the Xbox One X

[wraith trout]

Hello

[pine fractal]

so like... did EVERYONE know myspacetom was satoshi nakamoto who made bitcoin? am i that out of the loop or is this not common knowledge yet

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[pine fractal]

i've found a few online who think it, and i just found the reason why lol

[lilac sage]

no clue who myspacetom is

[pine fractal]

the guy who made myspace 😂

[jaunty compass]

it can run most games better than the one X already, even though the gpu on the deck isn't faster

[wise tundra]

https://www.signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/ I guess Signal sucks now

[jaunty compass]

at least at the deck's resolution

the deck has around a gtx 1050 level of performance on the igpu
but the cpu in the deck is way faster than the xbox one x's cpu since that used the same jaguar chip

the xbox one x had around rx 580 gpu performance

[timid meadow]

Homie stayed in my featured friends bc im a nerd lul

[manic torrent]

uhhhhh, unfounded garbage it sounds like

[jaunty compass]

so in practice games will run better on the deck in native res, but if you try to run at higher resolutions the xbox one x will probably run better

looks like it though, doesn't it?

it's a myspace UID and it was used to pin activity to a user on a "chain" of events
