now we're not linked by fate anymore

[clear coral]

hm practice

see ya

[dusty rune]

nope, amd is now the sponsor

[fresh ermine]

🤔

[wanton glade]

I've been waiting for this since forever WOOHOOW

[dusty rune]

gonna be the same thing but AMD now

[wanton glade]

AMD RULEZ

speaking of which, time to tweak my texture pack for my particles to look like ryzen and amd logos

gonna look so damn sick

[wispy marsh]

On the bright side, valentines chocolate are massively discounted from the pre-valentines msrp once 14th is over. So enjoy your post-valentines chocolate... alone

[wanton glade]

woohoow I got minecraft

[wanton glade]

not like I got a gf or anything. Besides I can't eat chocolate, for some controversial reasons no one needs to know

[wispy marsh]

You rolled a 1, and without any innate resistance you took 69 emotional damage.

[wanton glade]

sad

[wispy marsh]

Indeed

[wanton glade]

i didn't resist coz it was futile

I just went along with the damage

but who knows, there might be some girl who's gonna give me a rose/chocolate this 14th

either way, I ain't expecting anything. I just wanna play minecraft

[gentle slate]

Is there a big diff between the g502 and the 502 x?

[wispy marsh]

PSA: It is 2 am and tomorrow is valentines day, you should get your roses and chocolates asap

[gentle slate]

Had no clue its valentines day

[wanton glade]

I just want chocolate

it's yummy

better than liquor

doesn't get you in trouble with your liver

[past egret]

actually it does

lots of chocolate are high in lead or cadmium

[wispy marsh]

Coffee, chocolate and rum mix

[wanton glade]

ew

[wispy marsh]

How dare you

[wanton glade]

chocolate, praline, and coffee noice

oh, and guimauve

idk how you call that in english

but that things is the bomb

yeah it's called marshmallow

chocolate marshmallow is lit on fire 🔥

[wispy marsh]

Kahlua is really good

But it fucks you up because you get both the effects of coffee and liquor

[wanton glade]

bro liquor is bad for helth

I never drank liquor and never will

chocolate tho...

yum yum chocola

[sonic barn]

Who's Jim Keller

[spark stratus]

so um serious question, i bough rimworld a while back and refunded it, i saw it never was removed from my harddrive and launched the executable, and the game actually launched is this normal?

[sonic barn]

It's DRM free

So yes

[wide copper]

Silicon Jesus

[spark stratus]

😅 im uh surprised that it let me launch it.

[sonic barn]

It's like gog

You can literally download the installer and it'll run

[plush rivet]

How else are they gonna uninstall the game from your computer

If you did it from the launcher it would deny it, otherwise you have a free copy of rim lol

[gentle slate]

I feel like a caveman

why does my g502 lightspeed have some adapter thingy

it has a USB input and a micro USB input. What's it supposed to be used for

oh wait its to extend the dongle thing

[night heron]

🦍

[mortal hedge]

I wanna ask who else here have trouble aiming with a controller in warzone 2?
My aim sense is so fast yet so slow I can't aim without going beyond the target.

[gentle slate]

me. I simply dont use a controller

Ok wireless mice hit diff

theres definitely less weight due to the cable. Less tugging

[night heron]

yessir

[wanton glade]

basilisk v3 ultimate must feel so perfect

meanwhile, all the naga trinity display mice on my local tech store are being stolen their side buttons 💀

mfs are even stealing the keycaps from display keyboards

[distant wren]

I love clickbait articles : " this game is so beautiful, if you have a computer its an absolute must have"
Me: " who cares? thats not a game name! nor a decent game!"

[glacial prawn]

They really do! I love my g903

Except for the fact I lost one of the side buttons, so just don't use them..

[hot zealot]

Anyone here do extensive photo editing in Lightroom?

[ionic abyss]

so its time to upgrade to a good overclocking mobo and a top of the line ddr5 kit now

right?

[wise tundra]

Controversial opinion: I like the Apple Magic mouse (the model that uses AA batteries)

I'm gonna buy the M2 Pro Mac Mini and was thinking if I should get the new mouse at the same time

But when I saw the price tag I have a feeling I just might stick to AA batteries

109€

[plush rivet]

nah all the new mouses are chargable

i doubt it will use AA

[wise tundra]

I have the old one

[night heron]

if you like it don’t replace it

[granite tinsel]

it's not bad but imo it's kind of pointless to use it in a desktop setup; its low profile makes it better suited for on-the-go use but makes its ergonomics terrible to use for extended periods of time

[wise tundra]

I forget to put my AA batteries to charge, that's the issue

[granite tinsel]

that said, because of all that, i think objectively speaking the 2nd-gen design with the internal battery is better for that on-the-go usage since you don't have to carry spare batteries and the fact it's unusable when charging isn't a big deal when you can just charge it while on the move

but the 2nd-gen uses lightning so i hate it anyway

overall i think the magic mouse is fine for use with a macbook on the go, but if you're rocking literally any other type of computer, just don't buy apple mice 💀

[drifting swallow]

I use their wireless trackball mouse all the time. Its a must have for when I travel.

[next idol]

Hello. Yesterday I was playing minecraft with my friends and suddenly my m. 2 ssd nvme drive just didn't work anymore. The day after I was trying to set the drive on another slot. It worked when I set it on a sata slot, but non of my 4 other nvme slots. Please help.

[finite cloud]

Nah, the new mouse isn’t worth it

[wise tundra]

Ok

[finite cloud]

They’re not even worth it for the “apple ecosystem”

[wise tundra]

Oh I just like the design

I've been using that mouse for the past 11 years

[finite cloud]

The old mouse probably still works fine

[west sentinel]

Can someone teach me how to understand the AMD CPU names?

[sonic barn]

advanced micro

[west sentinel]

Along with GPU?

[wise tundra]

I'm not an Apple guy, it's just that my parents had an iMac and I helped with the computer every now and then

[west sentinel]

no

[wise tundra]

Yeah it works great

[golden talon]

ryzen 3 - budget friendly, doesnt exist anymore
ryzen 5 - less budget friendly and faster, exists
ryzen 7 - faster across the board, also exists
ryzen 9 - most expensive, fastest across the board, also exist

[west sentinel]

thanks

[west sentinel]

wait I thought ryzen is cheaper than intel

or are you just explaining the price not comparing to intel?

[golden talon]

not comparing to intel

[west sentinel]

ah thanks

[sharp raft]

Welp. I've spent the last 4 years being sad my laptop is slow. Turns out ive been using Intel HD graphics...

[glacial prawn]

oh dear

what GPU do you actually have then

[plush rivet]

depends on what your comparing

[sharp raft]

Still shit but much better. Radeon M7 M360

[plush rivet]

most of the time ryzen is cheaper than intel yes

[granite tinsel]

further detail: the first digit in that 4-digit number tells you the product generation; higher is newer
the second digit is a more detailed description of the CPU's performance, e.g. a ryzen 7 5700 is weaker than a ryzen 7 5800
letters afterward describe additional features; e.g. X means it has precision boost overdrive, and G means it has integrated graphics

[west sentinel]

I wanted to go all AMD on the next upgrade build

[stray apex]

not anymore

[plush rivet]

AM5?

[stray apex]

for a long time AMD was a decent value option because they couldn't compete in performance so they were cheaper

[west sentinel]

hasn't decided

[sharp raft]

The iGPU was stealing my RAM as well

[stray apex]

but now AMD and intel are pretty close, so AMD prices like intel does

[plush rivet]

wdym it still is, even now intel consumes over 2x the amount of power than a ryzen

its not stupid cheaper, but it is less

[stray apex]

at the moment intel is cheaper, since you can use older motherboards and memory

[plush rivet]

intel cpus still consume a stupid amount of power

[stray apex]

so?
unless you live somewhere with extreme electricity costs that shouldn't be an issue

[west sentinel]

can you explain the radeon graphics too? I am too confused about that than CPU

[stray apex]

6000 series radeon graphics are great value

don't bother with anything else

[golden talon]

6500xt < 6600 < 6600xt < 6700xt < 6750xt < 6800 < 6800xt < 6900xt < 6950xt

[granite tinsel]

same system as i described; first digit tells you product generation and higher is newer
second digit tells you level of performance; higher is more powerful
an XT model is more powerful than its non-XT counterpart but is usually weaker than the next one up

[golden talon]

i’m probably missing some SKUs

[gilded quest]

theres a 6400 or 6400xt

[golden talon]

sounds like shit

[stray apex]

also various xx50 models

[gilded quest]

well...

[granite tinsel]

well the full current radeon product stack goes
RX 6400 < RX 6500 XT < RX 6600 < RX 6650 XT < RX 6700 XT < RX 6750 XT < RX 6800 < RX 6800 XT < RX 6900 XT < RX 6950 XT < RX 7900 XT < RX 7900 XTX

[golden talon]

i’m far more versed in the nvidia side of things

[stray apex]

almost everyone is

[granite tinsel]

nvidia's system is a little easier to understand

[stray apex]

radeon is uh
not doing so good

[golden talon]

the day they release a 4085 Ti or some shit i’ll be damned

[granite tinsel]

they did fuck it up with RTX 20 tho

[stray apex]

nvidia's system is... the same

[granite tinsel]

it is except they don't release Ti's by default

[stray apex]

they just released a 4070ti before a 4070

[golden talon]

because they fucked up

[granite tinsel]

because it was supposed to be the "4080 12GB"

[golden talon]

the 4070 was made before the 4070 ti if you want to be technical

[granite tinsel]

but everybody fucking rightfully shat on them for that and they had to backpedal

[gilded quest]

what about RX 6700

[stray apex]

still did it

[granite tinsel]

it exists? then it sits between the 6650 XT and 6700 XT

[golden talon]

the 4070 still existed before the 4070 ti

[granite tinsel]

iirc there is no 6400 XT or 6500

[stray apex]

not to consumers

doesn't matter what internal stuff says

[golden talon]

sure but it still existed before

[stray apex]

all that matters is what we can buy and use

[gilded quest]

6400
6500XT
6600
6600XT
6650XT
6700
6700XT
6750XT
6800
6800XT
6900XT
6950XT

6900XTXH????

[golden talon]

then naming doesn’t mean jack shit

[granite tinsel]

anyway the point is Ti's are made in response to market conditions; usually competitors releasing products that compete too well with nvidia's existing offerings, so they need a stopgap

or in this case, because consumers fucking hated them for trying to pass off a 4070 as a 4080

[stray apex]

that's silly

amd hasn't competed with nvidia for like
five years

they just do it because people will buy them

2080ti wasn't competing with anything
it just was

[gilded quest]

what did amd have that competed with nvidia 5 years ago?

[granite tinsel]

the 1080Ti was created because vega was overhyped so hard that nvidia thought AMD wasn't bluffing

[stray apex]

*at least

[west sentinel]

thanks, and also @golden talon

[golden talon]

[gilded quest]

if anything radeon right now is the most competitive its been in years

[stray apex]

yeah, definitely

[granite tinsel]

RX 6000 slaps

[stray apex]

unfortunately they've priced their cards like people actually want them

[gilded quest]

I would love for an RX 6000 gpu to slap me.

[granite tinsel]

they're price-fixing the GPUs just like nvidia right now, but at least they're pricing them cheaper than nvidia

[west sentinel]

out of topic question, are there any laptops that is cheaper in asia market than the actual laptop in US? I might travel to Thailand and buy the laptop for low price

[stray apex]

when it's clear that AMD cannot demand the same prices as nvidia for comparable raster

[granite tinsel]

the 6700 XT is fucking killer value rn even if it could be even cheaper were it not for AMD's meddling

[stray apex]

commodity stuff can be kind of iffy, but probably

[stray apex]

yeah, but that's because retailers need to get them out the door before next gen drops

[west sentinel]

I want to buy the ASUS gaming laptop or Duo

[granite tinsel]

ya but AMD's controlling the prices by limiting how many GPUs they'll send out to retailers

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure retailers don't really want radeon gpus eating up shelf space

unless AMD is giving them great prices now

[granite tinsel]

yes, so AMD is the one holding onto them and dripfeeding them to the retailers

[golden talon]

7900XTX is still as expensive as a 4080 and the 4080 is just all around a much better card

[neon mesa]

Tbf 1080ti is a great product that even to this day is a good buy

[neon mesa]

More expensive than the 4080 in many cases

[granite tinsel]

yes, and it was a mistake on nvidia's part because they thought AMD was going to actually compete with them so they panicked and released the greatest GPU of all time

they will never ever do it again

[neon mesa]

I mean RTX 3000 was great if the scalper thing never happened

[granite tinsel]

sure, but it didn't hit 1080Ti levels of greatness

1080Ti's in a league of its own

[neon mesa]

1080ti is only like 25% faster than the 1080? Easily something like a 3090

[golden talon]

30 series improved greatly on “meh”
pascal improved amazingly on “good”

[neon mesa]

I don't think turing is entirely meh

I think it's because pascal was so good it's hard to improve

[golden talon]

compared to what maxwell was to pascal it’s definitely meh

[granite tinsel]

turing is the epitome of "no bad products; just bad prices"

[full fossil]

hi im going to fly out my pc what should i put in it do i take anything out

[granite tinsel]

take out your GPU

[stray apex]

take out anything that sticks off the motherboard

[neon mesa]

Is it just me or AMD seems to always disappoint in the GPU space

[stray apex]

like a tower cooler or gpu

[neon mesa]

They're overhyped many many times...

[full fossil]

i have water cooling

[stray apex]

radeon has been struggling hard, yeah

[full fossil]

so gpu and ram thats it?

[granite tinsel]

i didn't expect the world out of RX 6000; just to compete in raster with RTX 30

[stray apex]

then your cooler should be fine
just take the gpu out and put it in the box if you can

[neon mesa]

The RX 7000 is a disappointment so far, vega was also, Radeon VII is a failure

[stray apex]

oh, also hard drives if you're shipping it or something

hard drives are pretty fragile so you'll want to keep those somewhere safe

[granite tinsel]

water cooling's fine

[neon mesa]

The results are always disproportionately bad conpared to the hype

[full fossil]

can my water cooling freeze or something in the plain

[stray apex]

unlikely

[granite tinsel]

nope, and TSA doesn't mind that it's full of liquid either

[full fossil]

what about the packing how do i do it

[neon mesa]

AMD has so much time and disappoint again and again i have more hope for intel

[granite tinsel]

tho if you bring it in a carry-on they will need to X-ray it as usual

[stray apex]

try to fill as much blank space as you can

[stray apex]

I really hope battlemage is good

[full fossil]

okay cool thanks

[neon mesa]

I can expect it to be

Look how much intel fixed their drivers in like 3 months

[full fossil]

also when i take out my gpu and when i put it back in do i need to do anything to the pc?

or is it just going to start up normally

[neon mesa]

Even A series will be good buy in few months

[granite tinsel]

nah, you should be good

[stray apex]

as long as battlemage can do like, a good $250 card they'll be great

[neon mesa]

A750 is at that rn and it's good

[granite tinsel]

intel doesn't need to compete at the high-end at all as long as they put up a good fight in the midranges

[stray apex]

yeah, still needs some polish though

[neon mesa]

Especially that if you want RT because the equivalent price is a 6600xt that can do jackshit in RT

And Intel's card can do well in editing thanks to QuickSync

[granite tinsel]

yeah i still can't in good conscience recommend intel arc to most people looking for a midrange GPU 'cause of the drivers

[full fossil]

another question i have a ryzen 5600x 3080 and 16gb of ram should i upgrade or is it fine for now

[golden talon]

it’s fine

[full fossil]

and a corsair water cooling

[granite tinsel]

fine? that's fuckin great

[stray apex]

maybe more ram
otherwise totally fine for gaming

[golden talon]

you’re probably at 4K right

[granite tinsel]

tho ya 32GB of RAM wouldn't hurt

[neon mesa]

Whether you need an upgrade or not depends on yourself

[stray apex]

yeah, upgrade when you could use more performance

[full fossil]

ye i should add some ram

[neon mesa]

Are you experiencing problems with your current one?

[granite tinsel]

also just... neither RX 7000 nor RTX 40 are compelling at all

[neon mesa]

If not probably don't need to

[full fossil]

no its fine i was just asking bc i saw the 4080s and stuff are here

[granite tinsel]

they are terrible value 💀

[neon mesa]

There is no need to upgrade just because something new is out so it's fine

[golden talon]

4090 is the best value if you want an ada card

[granite tinsel]

4090 is the only thing that makes sense for you to upgrade to from a 3080 and it's $1600... at MSRP

[neon mesa]

I mean no when you look at the practical market prices and not msrp

[full fossil]

where can i post a pic of my pc

[granite tinsel]

also it consumes 450W

[finite cloud]

#1019713714968088586

[neon mesa]

Because MSRP is like water on mars.

[granite tinsel]

#1019713714968088586

4080's and 4070Ti's are rotting on store shelves for a reason by comparison

you can't exactly call the 4090 a good deal but at least it's in a performance class all its own and that itself has value

[stray apex]

nobody wants to pay $1k+ for decent performance in this market

[full fossil]

i paied 1500 for this 3080

[stray apex]

maybe during covid, sure

[full fossil]

cuz like it was my first good pc

[granite tinsel]

the incredible hubris of nvidia and AMD to sell GPUs this expensive during a recession

[granite tinsel]

and the 3080's MSRP is $700, with it currently going for about $500 as a last-gen GPU

[full fossil]

yes i got it when it first came out

[neon mesa]

I mean nvidia sure they can sell this high
But AMD's audacity is more surprising

[stray apex]

gpus are like games
buying them early means you pay the most for the worst the product will be

[granite tinsel]

i got my 6800 XT for about $700 USD equivalent in february 2021; that was about as good as i was gonna do for a high-end AIB model

[full fossil]

when i take of the gpu are there any cables

[stray apex]

remember when 5700xt had 2070super performance for 2060super prices

if only their drivers weren't shit

[granite tinsel]

yes, depending on the AIB model your 3080 should have 1-3 cables plugged into it

you can just leave those loose in the case during transport

[full fossil]

i just dont know how this will work ive never transported my pc

its like a 8h flight

[stray apex]

keep your gpu in an antistatic bag or something if you have one

otherwise it should be fine

try to avoid uh
the things that you would expect

[neon mesa]

If you have the box just put in box

[stray apex]

aside from hard drives computer parts are mostly pretty durable

[full fossil]

and where can i find the things to stuff my pc

[full fossil]

i dont have the box only my monitors box

[neon mesa]

I rather remove the gpu than to use those stuffy stuff

[granite tinsel]

you don't have to stuff it if you're packing the GPU separately

[neon mesa]

Why would you not keep the box

[granite tinsel]

stuffing it is for if you want to keep the GPU in the PC

[full fossil]

oh i see

[neon mesa]

It's important when you need to sell it again or (sometimes) to RMA

[simple turtle]

what is the best bios flacher to repair a bricked bios on a asus prime b450m-a

[full fossil]

so take off the gpu and put it in the luggage

[granite tinsel]

yes, though i do recommend you put the GPU in an anti-static bag

[full fossil]

what is that?

wdym by that

[granite tinsel]

it's a plastic bag with a lining that protects what's inside from static discharges; computer parts can be damaged by static electricity

[stray apex]

you can buy them on amazon for pretty cheap

although you'll probably get like 50 of them

[full fossil]

why

[granite tinsel]

to prevent your GPU from damage by static electricity

best-case scenario if your GPU gets a static shock is that nothing happens; worst-case scenario is it dies

why gamble on that?

[full fossil]

oh so like i cant just carry it

[stray apex]

I mean, you'll still generate some static electricity

[granite tinsel]

anytime something rubs against something else that can cause static buildup

[full fossil]

what if it leave it in the pc and stuff it?

[granite tinsel]

don't have to there since the case itself protects what's inside from static electricity

i'd argue it's better to remove the GPU tho

[stray apex]

yeah, static can be dealt with by putting it in a bag
can't do a whole lot if the pcie connector snaps or something

[small bolt]

Just be careful putting stuff in there you don't want to bend any connectors, I would personally only leave a PC assembled if I'm driving a few miles to a friend's house for a LAN party, in which case it's gonna be buckled into my car seat so it can't get jostled

[full fossil]

like normal bag

[stray apex]

no

antistatic bag

did you buy the PC prebuilt

[full fossil]

im going to fly it its a 8h flight

[full fossil]

yes it came prebuilt

[granite tinsel]

would like to point out that there was recently a techquickie episode that covered packing your PC for flights
https://youtu.be/3MfPb52Yu2M?t=74

[stray apex]

ah
if you built it motherboards and stuff come in the bags

[small bolt]

Are you bringing it with you on the flight somehow or is it checked baggage

[full fossil]

baggage

[small bolt]

I have never flown before if I'm being honest but I have heard horror stories about TSA and underpaid baggage handlers

[full fossil]

ye i just dont know where to put the gpu

[stray apex]

in an electrostatic bag
in your bag

[granite tinsel]

in an antistatic bag next to the PC works fine

[full fossil]

i dont have that bag

[stray apex]

gpu is probably the most valuable part of your computer other than possibly storage

and it doesn't take up that much space

[granite tinsel]

https://www.amazon.com/Daarcin-Antistatic-12X16in-Motherboard-Anti-Static/dp/B08CKZTLLN/

[stray apex]

so if you have like, room in your carry-on that'd be ideal

[granite tinsel]

you have $8, i hope

[full fossil]

yes but amazon dosent come where i am right now

like it dosent work

[granite tinsel]

huh... any computer stores around you? they might have them

[full fossil]

no they just have old computers

[granite tinsel]

huh... that is a problem

why isn't amazon able to come to you btw, if you don't mind me asking?

[full fossil]

idk im in albania right now

even if it comes here the shiping is a lot more

[granite tinsel]

oh damn

[full fossil]

lets say i found the bags what about the pc how do i put it in a luggage

[polar steeple]

GPU doesn't need an antistatic bag

[full fossil]

do i stuff it with tshirts next to it

[granite tinsel]

ideally you'd put it in its original box since that'd immobilize it and protect it from drops and shit

[polar steeple]

AMD ships their reference cards without them

[full fossil]

oh

[granite tinsel]

but yes, you can put it in a suitcase and stuff that with soft things

yeah, it's a good idea to have one but it isn't mandatory

like i said, best-case scenario is that nothing happens and it's fine

[stray apex]

I'd assume that the foam is antistatic, though

[polar steeple]

As soda mentioned your best bet is to find a dedicated GPU box to put them in

[full fossil]

do i need these whate paper bolls things or just stuff it with clothes

[polar steeple]

If you can find one of those plastic covers for the pcie slot part of the PCB that'd be great

[full fossil]

i do not have the gpu box only the cover

[polar steeple]

I'd try and find a box where you can put foam around the edges and the gpu in the middle

Basically what's gonna happen is this

Everything will be fine until your plane takes off at which point its going to be vibrated to hell

It surviving that jostling around is gonna be dependent on what is next to it

[full fossil]

so box with foam for gpu right

[polar steeple]

Yea

[full fossil]

and the pc

[polar steeple]

That's your best bet without the original box

[full fossil]

i have it as a luggage

[polar steeple]

The pc I would leave the cpu installed on the mobo and the mobo installed in the case

Maybe take your cpu cooler off the cpu

[full fossil]

its water cooling

[polar steeple]

Aio or custom loop?

[stray apex]

they have a prebuilt so

[full fossil]

aio

[polar steeple]

Then that's probably fine to leave installed

Leave it all in the case and pack the case with foam

That's what I would do

[full fossil]

where can i find foam

[polar steeple]

The streets, idk. Package stores like UPS stores, FedEx, or the post office

Although idk about logistics in Albania

[full fossil]

okay well thank you

[polar steeple]

Good luck. If it gives you any hope, system integrators ship entire PCs through air freight which is much harsher than passenger luggage on commercial flights

[plush jungle]

wow thje prices of ssd have dropped alot

can a x570wifi board use two ssds

nevermind u can wow i neevr knew that cas this 1 tb ssd is not doing it anymore but 3tb a be mopre than enough

[thick yew]

anyone ever just get bored and put a tb inside of an ipod classic?

[glacial prawn]

no but I want to now

[plush jungle]

i miss the old ipod classics

they were aheads of their time

how hard is it to install a better rad ina hp omen 45l

i was thinking of putting in a 360 rad

[lament crystal]

It looks like it has the space

In the front at least

[teal sphinx]

Does anyone know why my gta 5 settings dont save? I turn on all the settings that i need, restart, and they're not there

[ionic abyss]

the cooling chamber uptop is rated to handle a 360

you gota be keeping mother cool lol

the cryo chamber supports upto 360 rads

i did upgrade my ram and video card

32gb ram 3200 ddr4 and a 4080 wich i gave up on selling on ebay

well 3666 ddr 4

i sold 3 of 4 4080s and gave up on selling the last one at reasonable proffit

[lament crystal]

Why did you have 4 4080s

What do you need that for

If you say crypto mining then screw you

[ionic abyss]

i might have got them cheap when a friends shop closed

say sub $300

[lament crystal]

How can any price you can sell for not be "reasonable profit" above 300 dollars

[ionic abyss]

i had to get retail atleast

[lament crystal]

Why

If I got them for less than 300 I'd be more than happy with even 800

[ionic abyss]

the 45l is a nice pc

the case is well a unique peice of kit for now since hp owns the pattent

[glacial prawn]

Friend of mine who sold me my 1080 is an ex crypto miner, sold it to me roughly at its worth and not really with a pound of profit

Linux is based

[gilded plinth]

BSD is based

[sonic barn]

linux is for 🤓

[ionic abyss]

i use linux for non gaming stuff

[sonic barn]

its gotten to the point I only use it for school assignments

[lament crystal]

I have never seen the appeal of linux

[fossil frost]

and that is fine, also, using linux is fine... its different to windows... some people like it.. some dont... and thats the point that some people dont seem to get

the point is, choice, rather than trying to force everyone to use linux because its linux

[lament crystal]

I got into an argument with someone of the opinion that if you use anything but linux you're an idiot who can't possibly be a computer enthusiast

[ionic abyss]

so long as we dont get another vista win8 or win me

windows is fine

[gilded plinth]

I'm mostly on Linux but sometimes use Windows too, use the right tool for the job

[lament crystal]

I'm a gamer at heart and gaming on windows is just easier

[sonic barn]

linux is free if you don't value your time

[lament crystal]

Windows is free too

[fossil frost]

completely valid reason for making a choice, but some people will bitch at you and lecture you about how you are wrong

[lament crystal]

Like... I have a full install of windows 10 home and I'm pretty sure I never paid a penny for it

I originally bought an old school/office machine with windows installed for like... £300? And then, I took the SSD from that and stuck it in my new PC and didn't have to activate windows

[sonic barn]

still linux has more problems than innovations

Is the steam deck good?

[heady wadi]

not sure bout' that

[fossil frost]

no, they are sold out and hard to get hold of because everyone hates them and nobody is buying them,...

[ionic abyss]

windows isnt free unless you want a stupid watermark

[lament crystal]

I've heard it's good

[ionic abyss]

the steam deck is ok

better options

exsist

[manic torrent]

For similar money?

[sonic barn]

they aren't in canada afaik

[ionic abyss]

i suspect the steam deck is cheaper

[sonic barn]

its 1-2 weeks for us

[manic torrent]

You suspect?

[ionic abyss]

id have to google the prices

[ebon otter]

Is ~$400 for the base modle ~$500 for the 2nd teir and ~$650 for th max teir

[manic torrent]

So your assessment of "better" options didn't include price.

[ionic abyss]

many gpd and ayaneo products have better specs

[sonic barn]

for 1.2k

[ionic abyss]

https://www.ayntec.com/pages/loki-max

[slow thorn]

2 words

Water mark

[lament crystal]

Watermark is 1 word

[ionic abyss]

https://www.ayntec.com/products/loki-zero-preorder

[lament crystal]

Also I've never paid for windows and I don't have a watermark

[ionic abyss]

that is nice for $250

[jaunty compass]

it's a very good device, and is the best option in its price class; there are faster UMPCs but they're significantly more expensive

[jaunty compass]

it's also a dual core with a vega 3 igpu

it uses an AMD 3050e
which is not very fast

1.8ghz turbo when both cores are being used

windows 10 will not run very well
let alone games

[finite cloud]

You’re not wrong, but all the better options are double the price

[sonic barn]

might get that

[gilded plinth]

Hell yea

[sonic barn]

https://www.ayntec.com/pages/loki-mini

this one is next gen amd though

like 20$ more

[velvet marsh]

Why not a steam deck?

[velvet marsh]

Gaming on windows with 8gb of ram is rough tho

[wind pulsar]

And I highly doubt the iGPU beats the Steam Decks

[velvet marsh]

Yeah it doesn’t. Especially with 1080p

[ashen zodiac]

i have 16gb and even that for games like sea of thieves is tough

[velvet marsh]

I use close to 30 with Hogwarts legacy

[ashen zodiac]

i will never play that game

[velvet marsh]

And like 14gb vram

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, just checked, the amount of shading units should already tell you everything

The ayntec one has 128

The Steam Decks has 512

[fossil frost]

same generation?

[wind pulsar]

Both RDNA 2.0

[velvet marsh]

Anything that competes with the base steam deck is gonna be double the price

[wind pulsar]

Mendocino has 128 shading units, 8 mapping units and 4 ROPs

The Steam Deck's iGPU has 512 Shading Units 32 mapping units and 16 ROPs

Apparently the Ayntecs GPU is the Radeon 610M (Since that is the only GPU that uses the Mendocino GPU), which is about equivalent to a Geforce 9600 GT

Which is a GPU from 2007 or so

Yeah, I'd rather pay for a handheld that beats a GT 1030

[ashen zodiac]

jezus

i have a 9800GTX+ sitting in a box, holy crap those cards are awful now

[ionic abyss]

there are cards that dont out preform a 1030????

[ashen zodiac]

yes

[manic torrent]

This is why you shouldn't parrot things you've heard other people say without knowing the facts 🙂

[ionic abyss]

lol

[wind pulsar]

Yes, a lot of them bruh

[ionic abyss]

well atleast what ever handheld you mentioned doesnt have a gt710

[wind pulsar]

The GT 1030 is pretty good if all you're doing is esport games from a performance standpoint

[ashen zodiac]

if it's as bad as a 9600GT it's actually worse than a GT710

[wind pulsar]

Yes, because said handheld I mentioned has a GPU much worse than a GT 710

[ionic abyss]

a 1050ti is the baseline usable gpu in my book

[dusty rune]

1050ti is fine

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, not how that works though

[ashen zodiac]

nah you can go older than that, R9 280X for example can game quite capably

[ionic abyss]

i posted this https://www.ayntec.com/products/loki-zero-preorder

i thought it would make a nice emulation machine

[wind pulsar]

A GTX 970, GTX 770 and GTX 780 Ti all beat a 1050 Ti, ignoring drivers

[ashen zodiac]

are you sure about that one? it's only got 2 cores and 4 threads at 2.8ghz

[wind pulsar]

This would be awful for emulation

Did you even read the specs?

[ionic abyss]

its a amd athlon silver

[wind pulsar]

A Steam Deck would be several times better for emulation

[ashen zodiac]

which is terrible

[wind pulsar]

Slow 8GB RAM as it best, a 2-core Athlon is awful, especially because it's slow

[ionic abyss]

it should be able to run most emulators

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, but not the games on the emulators

[ionic abyss]

most emulators will run on a p4

[ashen zodiac]

no they won't. not at modern resolutions

[wind pulsar]

The Steam Deck is perfect for emulation, especially because it doesn't run at 1080p

[ionic abyss]

id bet that would run upto dreamcast emulation with no issues

[ashen zodiac]

uh no

[full fossil]

sup fellas

[ashen zodiac]

you also have to factor in the overhead of a modern OS. the P4 era people ran Windows 98 or XP, those are MUCH lighter than modern OS's

[wind pulsar]

You're just trolling at this point

[ionic abyss]

i have 5 year old phones that can run dreamcast emulators

[ashen zodiac]

android is not as heavy as a desktop OS, that would be why

[wind pulsar]

Probably because those phones are faster than that shitty Athlon

[ashen zodiac]

also that

[manic torrent]

... and entirely different architecture.

[ionic abyss]

dual core upto 2.8ghz isnt to shaby

[dusty rune]

man i need a steam deck theyre so sick

[pale depot]

liners teg thips

[ashen zodiac]

@ionic abyss i have a 2015 MBP with a dualcore i5 which is faster than that athlon and that system is not happy running basically any emulation, it struggles with GBA

[ionic abyss]

lol

[wind pulsar]

The Steam Deck is several times better, literally every handheld at the price point of the Steam Deck is near-irrelevant

[ionic abyss]

i can run gba on my old xp system

[wind pulsar]

I'd be surprised if that shitty Athlon could run Nintendo DS games bruh

[ionic abyss]

dual core athlon

old athlon

when the dual core was a new thing

[jaunty compass]

Clearly you've never tried to emulate anything above an n64

[ionic abyss]

yes

project 64 ran fine

[jaunty compass]

Above an n64

i.e. GameCube, PS2, Dreamcast, the Xbox, the Wii, a Wii U, a ps3

[summer folio]

isn't Nintendo 64, 64-bit?

[ionic abyss]

yall seem like newbies to emulation

[jaunty compass]

Lmao are you joking

[manic torrent]

Yes indeed, nobody here has emulated anything

[ionic abyss]

i been emulating games for over 15 years

[jaunty compass]

Bro 💀

[jaunty compass]

Sorta

[ionic abyss]

i have working pcs older than the folks telling me how to run emulation

[summer folio]

32-bit OS > all

[wind pulsar]

You're recommending a shitty 2c2t Athlon Silver over the much better equipped 4c8t Steam Deck bruh

Wtf are you even talking about

[ashen zodiac]

i'm 23, do you have a pc older than that?

[ionic abyss]

yes a orginal ibm xt

[ashen zodiac]

boomer

[ionic abyss]

it was top of the line when i bought it!

[jaunty compass]

The N64 was 64 bit but games rarely used 64bit instructions due to their higher size and performance requirement

[summer folio]

Daemon Tools

[marble lantern]

do yall think 6 gb vram on a laptop is good

[wind pulsar]

Congratulations, that doesn't make you experienced at emulation, which you clearly aren't

[wind pulsar]

Sure, it'll do

RTX 2060M?

[dusty rune]

man, running GBA on old computers was so much fun

[ionic abyss]

i prefer emulation on pc to the orginal systems

[marble lantern]

rtx 3060 laptop

[wind pulsar]

Literally what I said, but yeah, then sure

[gentle slate]

I love my wireless mouse.

[jaunty compass]

That's fair

[gentle slate]

Bit why does it feel light?

[ionic abyss]

emulating a game isnt complex

[dusty rune]

cause it is

[summer folio]

I'm still convinced my Pentium 3 running Windows NT & HDD
is faster than my ThinkPad i5-8250U with NVME.

[dusty rune]

orr cause you dont gotta drag around a wire

[gentle slate]

Oh wait I had weights added on my g502

[jaunty compass]

This is very wrong

[wind pulsar]

Because there's light wireless mice

[dusty rune]

to make an emulator, yes
for you to run it, no

[ionic abyss]

the truth is the guys who made the emulators did most of the work for us

[dusty rune]

and not paid btw

[jaunty compass]

Emulation is quite complex, we're just lucky enough to be in a time when most systems have working emulators

[dusty rune]

emulator devs deserve all our love and respect

[ionic abyss]

depends on the game

[dusty rune]

some get told death threats and still continue

[ionic abyss]

some games require know how to make them run properly

[jaunty compass]

we're very lucky we can use HLE and don't have to rely on LLE

[wind pulsar]

That's for the guy to say that only plays the games instead of developing and tweaking the emulator to have it run

[dusty rune]

making citra allow me to use motion control was more tweaking than ill ever want to do again

[gentle slate]

Turns out i've been using my G502 with all the extra weights added

[summer folio]

Computers finally powerfull enough to emulate NES?

[gentle slate]

no wonder this one feels light

[jaunty compass]

SNES, actually

[wind pulsar]

I have Citra installed on my phone and I don't plan on using it

I'm a bit lazy

[jaunty compass]

[ionic abyss]

ummm

[dusty rune]

yeah i got all my weights as well, i want monster forearms

[ionic abyss]

a 486 could emulate nes games

[jaunty compass]

Whoosh

[dusty rune]

it was a very boring period of my life, and i made friends in the chat room :)

[wind pulsar]

Have you heard of irony before

[summer folio]

Seg means slow in Swedish
So Sega low-key means The Slow.
Great marketing name.

[jaunty compass]

The Sega Genesis with blast processing

[summer folio]

The Slow Entertainment system

[dusty rune]

wait lemme check if i still have the pokemon folder which i wont specify what it has

[summer folio]

Sega.

[wind pulsar]

All the games I'd play I already played, the only one I missed was the Pokemon Gen 3 remake and that's it

[ionic abyss]

hmm

[dusty rune]

now play pokemon gold with only a wooper
surprisingly easy

[ionic abyss]

blast processing was marketing bs

[jaunty compass]

Blast processing was just that the Sega Genesis had a higher CPU clock speed than the SNES
It meant basically nothing

💀

[summer folio]

I could not understand english yet when I got Pokemon Gold.
So took over 24 hours gameplay, to get passed first "town".
Someone was blocking the way & demanding a togipii egg or somehing like that.

[dusty rune]

man, playing games on languages i didnt know was so much fun, i gotta start doing that again

[summer folio]

My fearligatr was over-leveled by far with all the level 2 sentret battles
Whole game was just smashing A after that

[ionic abyss]

the snes ws overall the better system

[summer folio]

Had to ask older friend in school for help.

[dusty rune]

i had my brother, he knew spanish so we put the games in spanish

[ionic abyss]

sega did have a ok system

[summer folio]

Yeah it had some fun games, like Alladin

[jaunty compass]

it needs to be kept in mind that the genesis(megadrive) released in 1988

the super famicom released in 1990

[ionic abyss]

the snes was well highly dependant on coprocessers

[jaunty compass]

yeah
ones that went into the carts
which was honestly genius frankly

[summer folio]

November 1990 in EU.

[ionic abyss]

star ocean was the most pirate resistant game on the snes or any system for years due to its on cart coprocessor

it was almost impossable to emulate due to the fact the coprossor decrypted the data for the gam

[summer folio]

NES > SNES

[ionic abyss]

game*

[jaunty compass]

okay

but that doesn't change the important part

that the genesis released and was meant to compete with the famicom

which was frankly already old at the time the megadrive released

or rather
was meant to make the famicom obsolete and get a jump on the next generation, not really just compete with the famicom

since it replaced the sega master system

[summer folio]

All those consoles quickly became obsolete when Playstation released.

[ionic abyss]

yes nintendo fd up

[jaunty compass]

ah yes

the competing console

that released in 1994

[ionic abyss]

the playstation is nintendos biggest failure

[jaunty compass]

debatable

[dusty rune]

nintendo makes great consoles

[jaunty compass]

I'd say the gamecube was nintendo's biggest failure

[ionic abyss]

we cant know how nintendo would have gimped the playstation

[jaunty compass]

Gamecube was nintendo's only chance to really stay competitive in the hardcore console market against the playstation and then later that gen the xbox

but they used mini dvds and didn't get third party support because of that, and that killed the gamecube

[ionic abyss]

the gamecube was a fine system

[jaunty compass]

if the gamecube had used full dvds it would have gotten more third party support and been able to play movie dvds like the ps2 had been able to things would have been different

[summer folio]

Remember "HD-DVD"? Xbox 360 L

[ionic abyss]

imagine if nintendo hadnt turned sony down

[jaunty compass]

as it stands
nintendo's most prevalent problem is making a stupid decision that fucks them over and leads to them not getting third party support which fucks them over

[summer folio]

Didn't they just sign Call of Duty contract with Microsoft, instead of Sony?

***Switch - You're thinking murdering innocent people in COD, aren't you? ***

Maybe I remember wrong. (Clueless)

[jaunty compass]

the switch is the third best selling console of all time, behind the DS and PS2
The switch and DS had great third party support

the ps2 is in no. 1 mostly because of good first party games and the ability to play dvds at the time when DVD was absolutely booming

you'd be stupid not to get a ps2 to watch your movies and maybe play some games too

even if you weren't a gamer, you'd get a ps2

[summer folio]

My fave PS2 game is probably Heroes of Might & Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff

[jaunty compass]

The PS2 also had quite good third party support even though it was the weakest of its generation of consoles

[summer folio]

Also played Warcraft II & Red Alert on PS1. The way RTS is meant to be played.

[jaunty compass]

Other than the Dreamcast, but that's debatable too

[summer folio]

[jaunty compass]

Also

The steam deck is on the tier list of console sales now

Steam deck sweep
It needs to beat the CDI

[summer folio]

It played PS1 games.
That alone made it superior to anything else unill PS3.

PS1 biggest library.

My friends got Xbox tho, mainly played Game Boy Advanced Game on the Xbox. Emulator machine!

[dusty rune]

i wish supercell actually functioned

ive been waiting for a confirmation email for hours

[feral topaz]

So I see people have issues with the s23 coming with like 50gb of storage already used up. But i think theres a lot of storage being used up for valid things that people are paying for but they have no idea it would be used for that stuff. I basically train ML models for NLP and image classification, the decent models are easily a few gigabytes in size. Theres a good chance if that tech is stored locally that samsungs image app is using a local model to postprocess content

[finite cloud]

Use it as your main PC

[wraith sonnet]

The irony is during LTX it's going to be

Also because it's an x570 board it technically is better than my main PC

[finite cloud]

People really underestimate it

[finite cloud]

You got a nice collection there

[wraith sonnet]

I was watching the backpack bit and holy shit

[gentle slate]

I just use one screwdriver

[neon mesa]

I think Microsoft also paired it with their visual search tech which makes it even more overpowered

@pliant karma @finite cloud are either of you going to LTX?

Sadly no

How can we be sure that's accurate though
ChatGPT will tell you it has nuclear codes if you say the right things

[neon mesa]

I mean watching the wan show as I'm not in the cool kid list yet it seems a lot more powerful

Considering it's paired with more than just the ability to search the internet

[sweet jetty]

No offense but why'd you store models on your phone in the first place?

[manic torrent]

is it? That's actually the key difference. ChatGPT is fixed, and while it can learn, isn't connected as such to the intertrons

[unkempt widget]

nice

[neon mesa]

The thought process and mathematical capability is definitely better especially with the backpack in tesla one

[feral topaz]

Because people want to process their images as soon as they are taken, so you need the models to be stored locally to work over your images

[sweet jetty]

Oh, I thought you meant just for storing them, I'm dumb

The model I'm working on is web based so thankfully I won't be facing this

[feral topaz]

Web based models hidden behind an API are great, its how I do my models.

is that your child

[manic torrent]

probably. Otherwise I'm in serious trouble!

[dusty rune]

they dont have to know

[full fossil]

he looks like he's incredibly fun to play with

Kiddo is absolutely ballin with those headphones

i can think of so many rn

cooling pads, external hdds

[elfin jetty]

HDD dock

[full fossil]

is there something that comes along with down syndrome that makes their faces look different? i dont know why but a lot of down syndrome kids look alike to me

(im not trying to be an ass im genuinely curious)

[dusty rune]

cause thats one of the main ways to find out, isnt it?

[leaden gale]

Nah nah, you raise a good point

There's like a commonality with how facial features develop

[manic torrent]

yes there is

[dusty rune]

Why do people with Down syndrome look the same? They have similar features due to extra genetic material that affects growth of the maxilla (part of the skull) and the bone, cartilage, and connective tissue in the head, known as the cranial neural crest

[manic torrent]

[elfin jetty]

Teachers really need to get paid more

They deal with too much shit to not be paid at least 150k a year

[dusty rune]

[leaden gale]

[past egret]

paper straws i can tolerate, spoons are literally the worst thing ever

[dusty rune]

[past egret]

[dusty rune]

[slate igloo]

Hello!!!

[elfin jetty]

Hola

[slate igloo]

How are you today?

[elfin jetty]

Good tbh, gonna order a new pc case next paycheck

[slate igloo]

What case you planning on getting?

[elfin jetty]

Lianli lancool 3, it looks dope as hell

Bit pricey but it has plenty of room for upgrages

[slate igloo]

Oooo, I always loved the look of Lian Li cases, so nice choice

[elfin jetty]

Yess

[elfin jetty]

My current pc and case is in offtopic

Im gonna have to salvage the stickers

[slate igloo]

That case has seen better days eh

[elfin jetty]

Yea, i dont know what caused it to get like that, ive tried scrubbing it with microfiber and 90% rubbing alcohol and all it did was scratch

[slate igloo]

Is it acrylic?

[elfin jetty]

Yea, i didnt think it would be an issue when i bought the case (first full pc build back in 2020)

[slate igloo]

My PC has been needing an upgrade since 2011

[elfin jetty]

Ive upgraded the fans, gpu, psu, and added drives and a wifi card

Still rocking a ryzen 5 3600 tho

Love that cpu

[slate igloo]

My PC is an old eMachines ET1810-03 from 2009 so I don't use it anymore

[elfin jetty]

Jeez

[slate igloo]

I plan on putting Android x86 on it tho

Maybe get a bit more use out of it

[elfin jetty]

Strap a ups and a screen to it and youve got the worlds largest phone

[slate igloo]

Lmao, it would work, although idk how well Android Apps would work on it...

[elfin jetty]

Experiments are required

Imagine if we could have an upgradeable smartphone

[slate igloo]

If I break the machine, who cares, I payed $7 for it at a yard sale

[elfin jetty]

Kek

[slate igloo]

Oh that would be nice... For a few people,

[elfin jetty]

I got a few pcs laying around

2 dell optiplexes, 4th gen i7s, good shit. I need to make a nas at some point

[slate igloo]

Can I be real with you...

I want to upgrade my current system with a Raspberry pi 4....

[elfin jetty]

Wdym

[slate igloo]

I would have more use with a Raspberry pi 4 than my PC

[elfin jetty]

Thats

Oof

[slate igloo]

And also I'm broke so I can't afford a cooling fan with how much I have rn

[elfin jetty]

I mean id donate a pc but im not gonna ask for your address, lol

[slate igloo]

Lmao, and I'd be stupid to do that anyway, I'ma have to look local

[elfin jetty]

Check goodwill, thats where i got one of those optiplexes + a spare keeb, mouse, and monitor for 150 usd

[slate igloo]

The local goodwill stopped carrying most electronics

[elfin jetty]

Damn, thats a shame tbh

[slate igloo]

I was going to buy a VGA monitor there

But they had nothing

[elfin jetty]

Go to office auctions

[slate igloo]

I might,

[elfin jetty]

They usually have a ton of good stuff for fairly cheap

[slate igloo]

Honestly tho, I think I'd have a better desktop experience with a Steamdeck,

[elfin jetty]

Steamdeck is awesome ngl

I love mine

[slate igloo]

I want to get the Deck and the Dock and use it primarily as a cheap desktop replacement, mainly because I hate both Desktops and Laptops

[elfin jetty]

I mean it does support windows

[slate igloo]

I shouldn't need Windows with what I want to use it for...

I mostly would use it to moderate Discord Servers and maybe play some light games

And so installing Windows on it isn't worth the time for me

[elfin jetty]

Fair enough

[slate igloo]

And can you name a good laptop that costs as little as the Steamdeck?

All in all, I think the deck is the best

[elfin jetty]

Bro i got a decent gateway laptop for like 300, it has 512gb ssd, a 3700u, and 8gb of ram

Its a plastic chassis but honestly the specs make it more than worth it

[slate igloo]

Yeah, that's fair, and I would consider a laptop over it if I didn't hate how much laptops make me cramp up

[elfin jetty]

Vega 10 graphics as well

[elfin jetty]

Cramp up?

[slate igloo]

Yeah, there was never a position I could use a laptop in that didn't make me sore or cramp up after a few hours,

[elfin jetty]

Oh i see

[slate igloo]

And I hate laptop keyboards

[elfin jetty]

I can stand laptop keebs, but most trackpads make me wanna commit genocide

anyone knowledgable with radios? im trying to pickup a nearby walkie talkie frequency, I have a radio & it has a scanner but it looks like it only scans the channels that are programmed onto it. How would I scan all 400-470 mhz efficiently for the right frequency

[full fossil]

manually...?

[full fossil]

wdym

if i had to scan 400-470 mhz manually i would probably kill myself

i have the model of the radio I want to scan the frequencies for, but I can't find the default channels

[full fossil]

... what

[full fossil]

Okay, so basically my question is.
How do I scan 400-470 mhz automatically, efficiently

with the knob

dms

i dont dm and i dont know radios

just twist the knob dude

ok you dont geet waht im asking

i know the address of this person
but i want to just carpet bomb them

[hot zealot]

With a UHF-FM receiver that has scanning functionality.

[full fossil]

the radio is FRS
