a 75hz scepter monitor is on Facebook marketplace in my area for $50

like
displays are pretty cheap, especially if you get used ones

[graceful burrow]

I have one of those kek

[lone crater]

god my pc is making me frustrated

damn

[elfin jetty]

?

[pliant karma]

lol same but it was in storage on my shelf. Then decided to take a tumble off the shelf one day

[lone crater]

#1027757333117415424 , Mic and headpones randomly goes crazy when playing games or on load

[polar fern]

Looks like I’m going to be getting a sony dvpsr510h

@lone crater define “goes crazy”?

also, in the future, maybe explain things in a way that does not deride people with mental health issues

[full fossil]

[polar fern]

I need to watch some of these movies before they exit the available library on TCM

[graceful burrow]

Shame, mine's a pretty nice monitor, it's my secondary

[polar fern]

Wow. I had no idea that Indiana Jones and the Temple of doom was responsible for the creation of the PG-13 film rating.

Apparently, Steven Spielberg was allowed to release the movie under a PG rating by striking a deal with the MPAA to create a new rating system for movies that contain some adult themes, but still okay for younger teens.

[pliant karma]

yea it was a decent secondary. Then I transitioned to an hp e243, added 3 more for a quad setup. Though I am back to dual now

the ghosting on my HP X27qc is horrible lol but I just have it as a side so I no complain

[graceful burrow]

Dualies is the way to go for most tbh
You really gotta be a power user to actually utilize 3
I feel like I could do it

[pliant karma]

tru

I did initially power drive both during the pandemic but now that I am not really in zoom uni anymore dual is good enough

[graceful burrow]

Ive had to go back to one in the past
Using a single monitor sucks

[pliant karma]

that I feel the pain. When i am using the imacs in the editing suits at my school I have to conform myself to a single screen which I hate

[lone crater]

you kidding me right ?

alright so "Goes Crazy" like when i game the microphone blew up as in it goes to full gain or something but it just like at 500% volume and its all static

for the Headphones it makes like a "Tick" sound and then it goes to 100% volume for no reason

[near nymph]

Beautiful for our two countries

[idle nymph]

Saying go crazy deride people whit mental healtg Problem?

[polar fern]

Yes

It’s fascinating how high res some older films are

I guess it all depends on the development process

[neon mesa]

AI upscale

[polar fern]

Nope

They simply re-scan the negatives.

Imma just say it: “ai” can gfi

[graceful burrow]

Nah ai is cool

[neon mesa]

AI is certainly appropriate

[full fossil]

does frame generation on 40 series cards cause extra latency?

[neon mesa]

Not even most humans qualify as an Intelligence

[forest summit]

are drilling holes into Ikea tables bad?

[full fossil]

not that badly 😅

[neon mesa]

Soo an AI is certainly good enough to be called AI

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the table I'd think

[full fossil]

i was playing the finals earlier and it felt like garbage

[forest summit]

LINNMON/ADILS

[polar fern]

More like manufactured machinations.

[full fossil]

ah yea if ur on multiplayer, then yea

[graceful burrow]

There's a bug in the finals that adds horrible latency for no reason
It feels like you're playing a badly streamed game
I've experienced it too

[full fossil]

the best way is just to drop graphics settings

[graceful burrow]

Won't help

[full fossil]

ah thats why

[graceful burrow]

It's a game bug

[neon mesa]

Drop graphics and not use DLSS FG

[graceful burrow]

won't help

Would typically tho

[forest summit]

I need some cable management help on a future setup

[polar fern]

Don’t we all

[neon mesa]

I don't think you'll find one on an LTT server

[full fossil]

i would cable manage but i also dont care

[forest summit]

hmm

[neon mesa]

Most of us use the best technique known as Shove and Forget

[graceful burrow]

I'm excited to see Google bard
Can it even compete with openai? It's got a lot of catching up to do

[neon mesa]

Or Shove and Cover

[forest summit]

no no, setup

setup cable management

[neon mesa]

It's more successful than elon musk at tanking stocks certainly

[polar fern]

Ltt has some cable management stuff in the pipeline.

[forest summit]

hmm

[neon mesa]

I'm more excited on someone eventually making a good open source LLM that can run locally

DALL-E was impossible to run on a local machine

But then Stable Diffusion comes in and saves the day

[graceful burrow]

I feel it's coming
Just a matter of time

Until then I'll just run my chatgpt discord bot lol

[polar fern]

Fej

[neon mesa]

There is already some language models that can run on a single 16GB card but rn it's more used as a fuckin roleplay machine (or worse ERP)

People be roleplaying with a bot

[polar fern]

Just a fad.

[full fossil]

FG?

[graceful burrow]

Rip

[neon mesa]

Amazing human advancement used for these.
Classic humanity

[graceful burrow]

Frame gen

[full fossil]

o

I like both

[graceful burrow]

Holy shit
You've said some funny things before transit
But never that funny

[full fossil]

but they have some issues

[neon mesa]

I mean using OpenAI's ChatGPT API isn't expensive tbh

[full fossil]

frame gen is some crazy tech tho nvidia really be kicking ass

[graceful burrow]

It's real cheap

[neon mesa]

20 bucks credit can last you agessss

[graceful burrow]

5 lasts ages

[neon mesa]

Much cheaper than ChatGPT Plus actually

Since it's pay as you use not a subscription

[lone crater]

wait so about my problem, its not a PowerSuply thing right ?

[full fossil]

what was your problem

[polar fern]

I slammed the kitchen table here hard when the water filter broke & nearly cracked the table top.

Today my hand & wrist hurt. Gee, wonder why. 🤔🤦‍♂️

[graceful burrow]

Truthfully if you want actual help make a post in #1027757333117415424 this chat is so oblivious you won't get decent help here

[polar fern]

@lone crater you never elaborated on the issue

[graceful burrow]

Probably because you got aggro with them
Just a thought

[polar fern]

It’s difficult for people to help you if information is not available to find a possible fix

[graceful burrow]

It's also difficult to accept help from someone who's aggressive

Hey bob

[manic torrent]

I find it difficult to accept help because I know more than everyone

[graceful burrow]

Good morn

Spittin I have that issue too

[manic torrent]

Lol it's 7pm here

I am enjoying a dinner chicken omelette

[graceful burrow]

Good morn :)

[polar fern]

@manic torrent skill issue. 😬

[graceful burrow]

Skill issue 😬

[polar fern]

That’s so weird, I had an omelette for dinner too 👀

[jade prawn]

look at this old boi go

time flies

but it still good!

[full fossil]

any single player games worth buying on the steam sale?

[full fossil]

do you want me to ask the hardest question

[polar fern]

Date of manufacture @jade prawn

[full fossil]

Teardown

[jade prawn]

hollow knight

[full fossil]

whats it about

[full fossil]

whats that about

destruction, hence the name

[jade prawn]

metroidvania

also Talos Principle

[graceful burrow]

Half life 2 and it's episodes
Portal 1+2

[jade prawn]

phylosophical puzzle

[full fossil]

but its mainly about plotting the fastest time to collect specific items in a job

[lone crater]

i did

[full fossil]

true

[jade prawn]

eeeeh i gotta unscrew it to check

too bothersome

[lone crater]

what do i need to elaborate?, everything is in #1027757333117415424

[graceful burrow]

Based
It's 2am +- 2 hours in the americas so don't expect a ton of help asap

[full fossil]

@full fossil uses ray tracing too
its really beautiful, you should check it out

[jaunty compass]

L

[full fossil]

not conventional triangles

[full fossil]

teardown?

[full fossil]

so no L 😛

[idle nymph]

Didnt Portal whit Ray tracing make fps unplayable while changing nearly nothing?

[jade prawn]

Nier Automata and Nier Replicant

[full fossil]

yes, works with entry level non RTX GPUs

[jaunty compass]

Turning on raytracing is an L

[lone crater]

got it

[full fossil]

its built in by default

[jaunty compass]

It ruined the games visual style and basically only runs on a 4090

[polar fern]

@lone crater usb or 3.5 mm out?

[full fossil]

and does not use triangles but voxels

[full fossil]

it runs on 4070ti just fine lol

[jaunty compass]

It's not an impressive showing for the RTX remix tech or whatever they called it

It's quite underwhelming actually

[manic torrent]

Satisfactory. I mean I have no idea if it's on sale but it's fucking great

[idle nymph]

Just like hogwarts Legacy, shit Ruin the forest look

[polar fern]

Teardown is fun to watch.

[full fossil]

for those interested, you can just check it out

[manic torrent]

Lol nobody is playing it anymore

[jade prawn]

Manifold Garden, a recursive puzzle game (relatively easy though, but beautiful)

[lone crater]

usb

[full fossil]

gets 60 fps on medium

[idle nymph]

Real

[full fossil]

on my gtx 1060 6gb

[jaunty compass]

I am but that's because I only play a couple hours every few days

[full fossil]

and 227fps on my 4080 on high 1440p

[full fossil]

the half life games are updated with raytracing and in sale for 0.99??!

[jaunty compass]

What?

They just added raytracing to portal one and nothing else what are you talking about

[full fossil]

wut

i was asking him not u but thanks weirdo amd card user

LMAO

[jaunty compass]

I think half life 2 may have gotten a mod for it too but like
Portal 1 is the only one I'm sure of

[polar fern]

@lone crater Could be a device conflict. Check audio sources & usb devices & disable anything not being used.

[jaunty compass]

Ok Nvidia shill

[full fossil]

sj wat gpu u using rn

[jaunty compass]

💀

[jade prawn]

man a lot of good games on sale actually

[full fossil]

fake 4080

yep

[jade prawn]

shame i already have all the ones i was interested in

[full fossil]

can using stretched resolution harm your display? the nvidia control panel says it might harm your display and that any warranty will void

[full fossil]

Teardown is great

[jade prawn]

even Tetris:effect is 50% off

[jaunty compass]

The spring steam sale is really good rn actually
Even the deck is on sale

[manic torrent]

They didn't add it, they totally changed the lighting - but yes, raytraced lighting is an interactive improvement, not a new paradigm

[manic torrent]

That is complete garbage.

[jaunty compass]

It's not a particularly impressive showing for their RTX remix tech honestly, but at least it's free

They should have chosen a game that would have looked better with raytracing

[lone crater]

hmm, i dont see anything thats interupting it, or i just dont know where to see, since everything that i see is used

[polar fern]

In windows device manager

[lone crater]

yea

[jaunty compass]

I believe it only works with direct X 8 games which is why the version of portal they used looks so bad

[full fossil]

like..?

[polar fern]

What processor is it again?

[jaunty compass]

Something that takes place outside in an open world maybe?

[full fossil]

wut

[full fossil]

so like wat games

you tell me

[jaunty compass]

I'd say fallout 3 but that game is super green

[lone crater]

mine ?

Ryzen 5 5600

[polar fern]

Yes

Ok.

[full fossil]

that is not a great decision

[lone crater]

i calculate everything, my PC should use around 400W max

[full fossil]

should be fine

[lone crater]

i have a 600W

[jaunty compass]

I don't know off of the top of my head every game that uses directX8 ffs

[full fossil]

yes welkl within the headroom

[lone crater]

you could name some old game like GTA SA runs on DirectX8 i think

[polar fern]

Are your mouse and keyboard plugged into the same USB port array as headphones and mic?

[lone crater]

as in the back IO ?, yes

[full fossil]

9.0c

[lone crater]

ahh

[jaunty compass]

how about duke nukem forever

Duke nukem forever RTX remix

[polar fern]

Try moving mic to front

[lone crater]

front doesnt have a 3.0

[full fossil]

I believe a lot of gpu isnt compatible to dx 8

[polar fern]

Only needs 2.0 for audio

[lone crater]

if i put it on 2.0 it sounds buggy

idk why

[full fossil]

newer models have 9_1 oldest dx support

so mentioning 8 is like

[polar fern]

USB 3/2 is largely a data speed thing. Shouldn’t affect usb audio

[full fossil]

graveyard

we need rtx terraria

rtx minesweeper

I gotta see that blast in 4k

[polar fern]

Shaders on chess wizard

[full fossil]

Rtx wizard101

rtx poptropica

I always wanted rtx in beamng

OMG POPTROPICA
bro

[lone crater]

testing

[full fossil]

nostalgia

[polar fern]

Some USB controllers on the computer side don’t like to be receiving input data and sending audio out at the same time

[jaunty compass]

I checked, RTX remix also works on dx9 games

Which really confuses me actually, why the hell did they use the DX8 version of portal?

Dx9 works, why did they use Portal dx8 as the base

[lone crater]

alright this works

idk how it works but it works now ig

tested it with MSI benchmark

now just the headphones that making the problem

[polar fern]

You may also want to try turning the computer off, and unplugging your USB devices and booting the computer without them plugged in and then plugging them in one at a time. Insuring each one works one step at a time.

Also unplug the computer for approximately 60 seconds before turning it back on etc

USB stuff is weird it can sometimes work perfectly until it doesn’t

[lone crater]

aye

[polar fern]

Powering off and such can help flush any residual junk

This is one reason why the main troubleshooting fix for Internet routers is the turn them off and back on again.

I would also check the ports for any dust or other stuff that could be preventing proper contact

[full fossil]

always do these

[polar fern]

If you ever seen a computer that is used in a machine shop if they don’t put it in an enclosure it ends up completely full of all kinds of crap & it can significantly shorten the lifespan

[lone crater]

speaking about internet

[polar fern]

👀

[lone crater]

idk why but my internet drops down from 30 Mbps

to 0.91

i tired flushing the dns and everything (including turning it back on and off)

called my ISP, say its maybe a user error, they cant even fi it yet

[manic torrent]

it's probably because of the sunspot intereference

... and a skill issue

[lone crater]

thats new, whats that

[polar fern]

Can make stuff with microprocessors go funny

[lone crater]

ah

[polar fern]

The router could be permanently funked

[lone crater]

frick

let me check the speed rq

[polar fern]

K

[lone crater]

its at 1.5mbps

[polar fern]

Rip

[lone crater]

it should be at the 30s

[manic torrent]

I mean, you haven't said where you are, what technology you're using, what devices you're using, what you've tried to fix it, or ANYTHING useful at all

[full fossil]

anyone else downloading anything

[lone crater]

my phone data is doing 50mbps

[lone crater]

damn you right

[manic torrent]

I know

[lone crater]

might be but since im connected via LAN, shouldnt i get the priority / isolation ?

[full fossil]

yes but still

[polar fern]

Hardwarebob knows all.

[lone crater]

Im at Indonesia btw, the router is F607L ZTE

[lone crater]

"i tired flushing the dns and everything (including turning it back on and off) and called the ISP"

[full fossil]

thats a process tho

not the tech

[lone crater]

yea

[full fossil]

so why did you ping him with that?

[lone crater]

but what can i do with the hardware? tear it appart ?

[full fossil]

no? lol

[manic torrent]

Soooo.... where are you getting this speed figure from

[lone crater]

Speedtest by ookla and google

[polar fern]

@lone crater https://youtu.be/7yF6ibmWSYw

[manic torrent]

and on what device, and is it on ethernet

[lone crater]

ethernet on my PC

[lone crater]

Is this going to be like "Oh change the service mode to BE and do your priorities and then set the channels"

because i done that already

[manic torrent]

what speed does the router say it has

[lone crater]

on the router ??

[manic torrent]

and what speed does your ISP say you have

[polar fern]

I see

[lone crater]

30

i payed for the 30 mbps

[manic torrent]

... yes.

[lone crater]

elaborate

i have monke brain

[full fossil]

when you bought the isp plan

what speed were you paying for

100mbps?

[lone crater]

30

[full fossil]

500mbps?

[lone crater]

no 30mbps

[full fossil]

are you sure its 30?

[lone crater]

yes...

[full fossil]

how can you be so sure its 30?

[lone crater]

because i payed for it and register it

[idle nymph]

30 is shit 💀 crazy

[full fossil]

alright

[lone crater]

Indonesia, we're a 3rd world country

[full fossil]

Im just asking so you can just confirm the info

[polar fern]

30 is good in some places

[full fossil]

yea

[lone crater]

yea 30 is decent for where i am

[short copper]

30 is like the most my town gets

[idle nymph]

Oh

[full fossil]

I used to pay for 30

[short copper]

in scotland as well

[full fossil]

and since I was using wifi, it drops to half on a good day

[lone crater]

anyways, ISP pretty much telling me to gtfo the net and touch grass

[polar fern]

Sigh

[full fossil]

unless its their side

then yea...

[polar fern]

It may be

[idle nymph]

I also have WiFi, and trust me its annoying seing only 100mb instead of the 1 gigs i used to get whit ethernet câble

[full fossil]

thats what I hate the most

[polar fern]

What’s your provider?

[lone crater]

it should be on their side because for like 2 month i had this and its been going up and down but it always fixes it self when i called the ISP

[lone crater]

IndiHome

[full fossil]

that might be coincidence

[polar fern]

Ok one sec

[idle nymph]

Literaly making plan on where to put ethernet câble so i have that fast of a connection

[lone crater]

i think im just going to switch ISP

i cant watch me daily dose of LTT content at 240p for it to not lag

[polar fern]

@lone crater https://uptime.com/indihome.co.id

[lone crater]

even the website goes "Server error"

[polar fern]

I will also recommend changing ISP and having them service for your local equipment if possible

[lone crater]

yea..

btw Indihome is the one ISP that got memed with the funky song

[polar fern]

I saw 🤣

[lone crater]

lol

their CS is worst, everytime you report a problem they always says "Sorry for the troubles, can you restart your modem"

meanwhile i already restarted the modem for 5 goddamn times

[polar fern]

Restarting the modem fix every problem

[lone crater]

except it doesnt lol

[full fossil]

except if the problem is on their side

[polar fern]

It will make the price of bread go down.

[lone crater]

anyways, im expetic Linus have a Vtuber model soon

[polar fern]

It will take the trash to the curb

[lone crater]

and i dont want to miss it with my crap internet

[polar fern]

It will also wash your clothes & clean the kitchen

Just restart the modem

[full fossil]

bruh I finished far cry 5 in like 5 mins

[tepid bolt]

Reminds me of the FC4 secret ending

[dull tapir]

what about the journey of the game

yes you just wait right to unlock secret ending

[manic torrent]

just... don't arrest him.

Far cry 5 >>>>>> far cry 6.

[dull tapir]

depends what you rate it based on

i belive fc5 was a beautiful game music atmosphere story characters

[manic torrent]

story, feel, weapons, environment

yeah also characters

I did not give a shit about any of the characters in FC6

[dull tapir]

to me fc6 hadd much better customization and combat but was boring and repetitive i believe story and atmosphere was far better in fc5

you are the villain in fc5

[manic torrent]

well, not really, but not.. NOT either.

new dawn had a better atmosphere than FC6, and it was an expansion pack.

[tired glade]

What was farcry 5, again?

[dull tapir]

new dawn was a bit too over the top for me it felt like mad max

[dull tapir]

montana

and joseph seed with cult

[tired glade]

Oh, US one

[dull tapir]

yes

redneck

[tired glade]

Oh, my,that was disappointing game

[manic torrent]

really?

[dull tapir]

i like northern games more than tropical games because of the atmosphere while music and story was amazing silent protagonist was a bad call imo also combat was not as good as the rest of the games

[manic torrent]

I played it through multiple times, and on new game+ with the hardererest difficulty (still easy)

[tired glade]

Map design,gun play and story pay off

[dull tapir]

idk i play all games on medium

[tired glade]

Those hills were bad

[manic torrent]

I play most games on super-hard

[dull tapir]

fc2 is so underrated

[manic torrent]

ehhh.....

[tired glade]

There is barely any difference between difficulties

[manic torrent]

I think it's rated about right

[dull tapir]

i have 1k or 2k hours on fc2

[manic torrent]

oh, so you play with a HUD?

[tired glade]

There was HUD?

[manic torrent]

not so much talking about far cry

[tired glade]

Man,game not hard

[dull tapir]

why judge a game based on difficulty

[manic torrent]

I want to be challenged. otherwise, why not just watch a movie

also, I want to feel a sense of accomplishment when I kill them all undetected

[tired glade]

It's Unisoft game, difficult makes more of game

[dull tapir]

i always play games on easy or medium

i want to play for immersion and joy

[manic torrent]

I just finished my sniper elite 4 playthrough on authentic plus

[dull tapir]

i did beat all dark souls games but i did not like them

[manic torrent]

I think I will try for a playthrough with no manual saves

[dull tapir]

SE2 was so much better than SE4

[manic torrent]

SE2 SUCKED on highest difficulty, because it still auto zoomed in when you held your breath, but it fucked up your reference for where the bullet would go

[dull tapir]

dishonored and hitman blood money were my favorite stealth games

[manic torrent]

SE5 otoh, I have played for many many hours.

[dull tapir]

for the time it was amazing

[manic torrent]

oh, don't get me wrong I still played and loved it, but it would have been so easy to fix

[tired glade]

Dishonored,when you figure out how to break that game, it's get way better

[dull tapir]

se4 for sure improved se2 but overall for the time i liked it better

[dull tapir]

i like mysteries and exploration in it

[tired glade]

Check speed run,this game

[manic torrent]

I did an SE5 playthrough with only realistic weapons - no silencers (but welrod ok), only iron sights. I love iron sights

[dull tapir]

i mostly just play new indie retro shooters like prodeus and dread templar

[tired glade]

The best way to play it

[dull tapir]

has any of you seen duke nukem forever leak

i played the restoration project it is so good

the 2001 verison not 2011

that was never released

[dull tapir]

stealth games i usually play for kill everyone without being seen

and then i lose my mind by reloading

[full fossil]

yes

[manic torrent]

See I aim for that, but also if you get seen, you have to try and deal with it.

so you have to be prepared.

[dull tapir]

i hate games that give you failed objectives like witcher it kills my ocd

[dull tapir]

i did that in dishonored and it took me a day to finish each level

[manic torrent]

git gud 😄

[dull tapir]

you have to do research and timing

because in the middle of playthrough you can see you messed up and you have to reload everything

where would you guys like new far cry to take place

and what kind of theme or era

[manic torrent]

back to the desert

surrounded by mountains

[dull tapir]

interesting i am not a fan of southern climates

[manic torrent]

with a tropical island in the bay

[dull tapir]

i hear many people like tropical far cry

maybe this is why i liked fc4 an fc5 more

[manic torrent]

.... "southern" you realise the world is a fucking sphere and the equator is in the middle

south of me is just ... cold.

[dull tapir]

well it is figure of speech so i do not waste words

[manic torrent]

I mean it really isn't, not in a global sense

[dull tapir]

i do not like any areas that are humid or hot either tropical or dessert

you could also describe cold areas in either mountains or valleys in cold climates we can go deep on this for hours

[manic torrent]

actually

we haven't had far cry in snow

[dull tapir]

not fully but fc4 had a ton of snow

[manic torrent]

yeah, but this time, lets go to like.. mongolia.

[dull tapir]

plausible but what would be a theme or era

[manic torrent]

some weird science base in the middle of bullshit nowhere

[dull tapir]

i did not like the dragon one

what was it dlc for fc3 that was like cyberpunk or synthwave

[manic torrent]

yes.

[dull tapir]

we did not have australian far cry yet

one continent that it has not been set in yet

i also really liked primal

or far cry in alternative history of ww2 or ww1

i know it would probably not correlate or sound cliche

but i really like spy stuff from cold war

also old wild west could be a great place

i really liked old call of juarez

[tepid bolt]

Was old COD zombies really that good or is it the nostalgia talking

[dull tapir]

idk it was not bad but i never really liked it at the time probably nostalgia of coop

i also did not really like dying light but i liked dead island 2 and left 4 dead

[tepid bolt]

Left 4 dead is amazing

Didn't age that well though

[tough palm]

LTT should do a few videos on the Optane 900p

[dull tapir]

i also liked dead rising 2 and dead rising 1

i see people still play l4d2 and l4d1

[tired glade]

They did already

[radiant cradle]

can extreme earrape and bass boosted destroy your speakers?

[manic torrent]

sure

but you've really got to be driving them hard

[tough palm]

I used my ANC headphones on a good amount of plane flights, and comparing it to my friend's fresh pair of cans mine sound a lot more tinny
Although they still beat any in-ears

[manic torrent]

any?

[random musk]

depends on impedance of headphones and how well the amplifier inside can drive them

[slender pilot]

Time for a new phone, but can't decide what to get..
Pixel 7 Pro, OP11, i14P are kinda the options at the price range I'm looking at (~$1000)

[pliant leaf]

i'm questioning if i should get a g pro x superlight or buy a new dongle for my old g703..

[slender pilot]

I don't like my Pro X Superlight, it's made for children

I've used it maybe max 6 times since I bought it 8 months ago

[pliant leaf]

is it small?

[slender pilot]

For me, but I have size 13-14 on gloves

[pliant leaf]

shit no wonder all the pro guys who use it are koreans

[latent plank]

thats a very vague statement

[tired glade]

Wait,we already on Pixel7?!

[pliant leaf]

yea b

[latent plank]

its made for average hands.

[pliant leaf]

feels like yesterday when pixel 3s were bricking themselves..

[full fossil]

hiiiiiiiiiii I bought the LTT water bottle

3 weeks to ship 😔

[tired glade]

Wait, what is Pro x Superlight?

[full fossil]

but its soooo good

[pliant leaf]

a logitech mous

[latent plank]

logitech mouse

[tired glade]

Oh

[pliant leaf]

logi has a "pro x" line that are used by the pros who logi sponsors

tbh the keyboard is mid as fuck, missing a lot of features

[tired glade]

Fps pros?

[slender pilot]

Love my MX Master 3 though

[full fossil]

I love my G502 now

[tired glade]

And which games?

[pliant leaf]

the usuals, counter strike, valorant, the lot

[pliant leaf]

they made a new g502 x and that shit looks POGGY

[tired glade]

Those different games for different move sets

[full fossil]

apex legends

man I stopped playing apex

[pliant leaf]

good

[tired glade]

That absolutely different way to play

[full fossil]

cuz it was very repetititve

[slender pilot]

Will prolly get Logitech G502 X Lightspeed for my gaming needs

[pliant leaf]

you escaped, don't come back

[full fossil]

yea im never touching it again

and when I got my new pc

Im barely playing games now

[tired glade]

Congrats

[full fossil]

back then I used to tweak settings like in Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, Sniper Elite 5 to get a playable frame rate

now im just watching youtube

[slender pilot]

Only play like Hitman, Rimworld, Mafia, Forza Horizon 5.
Bought RDR2 and Witcher 3 on Steam sale, they are beautiful, but dang they are boring AF.

[full fossil]

yep

I tried NFS Unbound

was contemplating to buy it

saw the ending on YT and I didnt buy it

they had a 10 hr trial

that with every race comes a boring escape race

to escape cops

and nope, no spray paint like GTA

so that eats up 10 mins

[manic torrent]

it's expensive AF though

[full fossil]

yea

I got mine for free

[slender pilot]

About $112 here in Swedenland

[manic torrent]

the pro with RGB is more expensive again, and they know I'm a sucker and can't refuse

[slender pilot]

X Plus with RGB is ~$5 more here

[manic torrent]

wtf?

[slender pilot]

It was $8 more

$120 for the X Plus

[manic torrent]

hmmmm

it looks like they aren't selling the X lightspeed anymore (the non plus)

[full fossil]

can using stretched resolution harm your display? the nvidia control panel says it might harm your display and that any warranty will void

[full fossil]

someone replied with thats b.s.

[idle nymph]

No lmao? I aint see How lowering Pixel is gonna Hurt Monitor

[full fossil]

Nvidia control panel Said so💀

[idle nymph]

Just lower it ingame, it doesnt hurt jackshit, overclocking monitor can be risky not using a lower res then stretching it

[full fossil]

under which settings are you looking at

[full fossil]

custom resolution

i did 1440x1080p

[full fossil]

and wheres that located in (which tab in NVCP)

[full fossil]

in change resolution

oh you mean Customize

theres no option called custom resolution

bruh thats just a disclaimer

no one wants to be responsible for the user's issues

hence the legal disclaimer

because you can bet there will be a user who WILL try to go beyond that

and then complain it breaks

[full fossil]

Alright

[random musk]

the warning is there because that section allows you to configure some frequencies (by choosing width, height and refresh rates) that are not supported by some monitors and some monitors (really bad ones or old ones) can break down

In the days of VGA and CRT monitors, there were 21" CRT monitors that reported maximum 1280x1024 or something like that, and you could configure custom resolutions like 1600x1200 and force monitor to work

but... you shouldn't force a particular resolution, keep the resolution native to the monitor, and use other options like scaling to stretch or shrink the image.

[fierce moth]

hey lads

gonna setup a local vpn

should i use openvpn or wireguard

[wispy marsh]

The 7700x is twice as powerful as the 7700k

[full fossil]

not as fast as intel in physics

[slate wing]

Wireguard

OpenVPN is buggy and slower

[slate wing]

What does that mean lol

[slate wing]

Doubt your friend has the best in ears if they sound tiny.

[full fossil]

if you check 3dmark timespy, maybe games, there'll be the difference when in physics

[slate wing]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/873545481983230022/1087012986473938954/IMG_4313.png

The 7700k is not MAGICALLY better at physics

[full fossil]

oo

[slate wing]

Straight A copium

[full fossil]

ofc its not lmao

you're looking at a few years ago cpu and comapring with the coincidental amd cpu with same number

[full fossil]

and how are they getting these numbers

because I beat all these numbers

[slate wing]

Yes, that was OPs original post

[full fossil]

yea

[timid meadow]

Cant say ive seen this one before. Ive seen green for insider, but orange?

[elfin jetty]

I knew it

[unkempt widget]

driver issue prolly

[full fossil]

yes

it just makes connectivity clearer

but you can use ethernet in a different room

but limit is 300mbps

[elfin jetty]

when did 3060tis get studio drivers?

[full fossil]

on 8th feb 2023

[brazen eagle]

Hey guys I need help valuing something

[full fossil]

yes

[brazen eagle]

I have a switch oled used it for 1 month how can I value it

[zinc verge]

Man having no pc for a day sucks

What am i supposed to do now

[brazen eagle]

Tbh that’s just sad

[full fossil]

sudokus

[timid meadow]

Your significant other?

[zinc verge]

Pretty much

Stays awake all night for me

Never complains

[timid meadow]

Theyve been waiting for it to break to where you cant fix it lol

[zinc verge]

Wym

It's not broken

[timid meadow]

Then why cant you use it?

[zinc verge]

Sent it for shipping cus im moving to another country

[timid meadow]

Ah. Seems fun. Hectic but hopefull id assume

[zinc verge]

I hope that everything arrives in a good condition

[sonic barn]

I don't see a point in a steam deck

Just use a regular lightweight laptop

[tired glade]

Handhold device

That's the main selling point of it

[sonic barn]

Phones are handheld

Tablets too

[tired glade]

Yes, it biggest phone with x86 process

And gaming focused

[sonic barn]

Cringe focused

[tired glade]

You know, it's a console

And it's full pc if you plug in monitor

[brazen relic]

15% off original price assuming nothing physical happened to it ?

[broken crown]

Uhh, there are cheaper

I mean there are a few knockoff handhelds on AliExpress. But if you said cheapest good handheld, yeah, you're probably right.

Also, right now they're 10% off in Steam store

Until March 23rd

[slate wing]

Id argue that's currently proton/dxvk

[gilded plinth]

Proton my beloved

[timid meadow]

Steam as a whole yes, but not the steam deck itself

[slate wing]

there was already a large collection of linux gamers before the fucking steam deck. Infact a lot of game could run on both it and linux rn if they are using easy anti cheat but chose not to enable support

small small fraction of games really

[graceful burrow]

More than there would be otherwise

[timid meadow]

I firmly believe they could have. Valve has almost always supported linux afaik and didnt have to release a handheld, they could have just invested in the scene and been done with it.

[brazen sundial]

Does the ac blowing at you do anything

[tired glade]

Yes, it's cool you

[graceful burrow]

Depends on whether you mean air conditioning or alternating current I guess

[slate wing]

wine and DXVK (and derivatives) have been a mainly valve lead team for years now

in the grand scheme of everything the deck did little except expose it to the masses

[brazen sundial]

Air conditioner

[slate wing]

But, what company gives a shit about a single hand held console

[graceful burrow]

It cools you

[brazen sundial]

My desk is next to it and there has been a claim that it could make you sick

[graceful burrow]

TRUE

[tired glade]

Hot air rise

[graceful burrow]

If you don't maintain the ac sure it can

Clean your filters and the like

[tired glade]

I think, stereotype about getting cold

[slate wing]

You could flip the direction of a compressor on a normal ac unit however that does have issues and i dont recommend it

[graceful burrow]

Eh, if it's made for it, it's fine

[slate wing]

Yes, a dedicated hybrid unit is fine. Not one from walmart

[graceful burrow]

I mean
Walmart does sell higher end aircons as well

From the big brands

(I used to work for a big brand)

[slate wing]

fr? all i got is fucking neighborhood market i didn't know they sold half decent stuff

[graceful burrow]

Bro neighborhood markets are just fuckin regular ass grocery stores

[gentle slate]

Im tempted to go for Linux

[slate wing]

||it was a joke||

[gentle slate]

but I relapsed to league

[graceful burrow]

What's stopping you

league

Go for Linux.

[gentle slate]

the fact I spend 10 hours of my awake day playing league

[slate wing]

league runs fine on linux

[gentle slate]

last time I barely got the launcher to work idk what you talkin bout

[wind pulsar]

cough Wine exists

[pliant karma]

I had one but it closed but I have a walmart supercenter just couple blocks down from neighborhood market

[gentle slate]

cba to learn

[graceful burrow]

That attitude won't get you far in linux
You should switch to windows s mode since you cba to learn anything

[slate wing]

it should be fine through lutris as long as your distro isn't hella out of date

[wind pulsar]

You considered Linux but cba to learn anything

Wew

[slate wing]

tf is cba

[graceful burrow]

Can't be assed

[wind pulsar]

Can't be assed or 'am too fucking lazy'

[graceful burrow]

A counterpart to
Can't be fucked

[gentle slate]

ive used it before

[median idol]

Linux is the RTFM of OSes

[gentle slate]

Wine just seems tedious in general

[slate wing]

that's 1/1000 of the gaming population if you believe some sources

[slate wing]

its not, i can just click on a windows exe and it runs like im on windows

[graceful burrow]

It's real fuckin easy lmao

[gentle slate]

hmm. alternatively, can I disable WHQL

[slate wing]

ARCH is a RTFM distro as nearly every single thing you could ask is documented, or if not in the arch wiki the gentoo wiki

[median idol]

Yeah arch is definitely a terrible choice for beginners. I use Pop OS on my rig and it's been fine for me

[gentle slate]

someone mentioned that WHQL or sth auto updates the drivers

[slate wing]

arch was really my first distro and it was fine for me

[gentle slate]

I actually used Arch for a bit! It was quite fun

[graceful burrow]

Mine was debian

[slate wing]

zorin just seems like wanna be windows

[median idol]

Arch now has the archinstall and it's pretty

[slate wing]

It failed to work for me multiple times. I still recommend using endeavor OS

[gentle slate]

but yeah is there a way to stop drivers from autoupdating on AMD?

since theyre buggy as shit

[slate wing]

they are not

[gentle slate]

oh they are.

I dont wanna downgrade every time I wanna play MC without rendering issues.

[slate wing]

ive delt with all 3 (except intels dgpus) and nvidia was BY FAR the worse

i fucking hate nvidia and will never get a gpu from them just because of how bad their software is

minecraft is a bug in of itself

[gentle slate]

ok why does it matter. The later releases of AMD drivers got bugs, and multiple people have fixed it by downgrading

[slate wing]

worse preformance

AMDs implementation of some apis are sub par and we consistently see improvement in performance from them

Its not even that its blob based it thats i cant get fucking wayland to work

That means shit multi monitor support (never works for me). No HDR support in the future. Say goodbye to HFR actually working

No idea someone gave it to me

inspect element lol

[brazen sundial]

Does sitting next to a window make you sick?

[slate wing]

no unless you get a sunburn

[gentle slate]

ok nvm another game I play doesnt like linux

[slate wing]

what game?

[gentle slate]

no linux for me.

[gentle slate]

SS13. Doesnt seem to like Wine either apparently

guess I suffer at the hands of AMD on windows

[brazen sundial]

Heard sitting next to a cold window makes you sick

[slate wing]

you just need 32bit libs thats all

[wind pulsar]

It's almost like a gajillion guides exist, weeee

[slate wing]

if mold starts to grow in it yes

[graceful burrow]

Being cold does not inherently make you sick.

[gentle slate]

VMWare

[slate wing]

thats a possible suggestion

[gentle slate]

lemme install linux to use windows

[gentle slate]

my W key has crumbs under it. sometimes it doesnt pres

[graceful burrow]

S key too?

[slate wing]

you know microsoft Azure runs on linux right?

[graceful burrow]

Sounds absolutely disgusting

[wind pulsar]

If you're American, when you go in the bathroom and when you come out, what are you in the bathroom?

You're European.

[gentle slate]

is azure the thing Realms run on?

who tf uses realms

[median idol]

Even Microsoft uses Linux for its servers

[slate wing]

yes

[graceful burrow]

A ton of people because it's 40x easier

[slate wing]

me

[graceful burrow]

You can even have mods on realms

[slate wing]

except when the login servers crash when the newest 1.19 update drops

[gentle slate]

idk last time I played on realms it felt bad

[wind pulsar]

No, but it may be weird.

[gentle slate]

minecraft has changed man

[slate wing]

they are exceptionally bad yeah for java edition. Huge lag spikes as well as being inconsistent with up time

[gentle slate]

THey work fine on bedrock I assume? A shame bedrock is a mess

[wind pulsar]

The joke refers to the '-pean' in 'European', which sounds like 'peeing'.

[steep girder]

Man i remember in like gr 7 i was playing perpetuum mobile on piano full speed. Flash forward to today im playing perpetuum immobile like 69% speed

[slate wing]

its "better". thats alll i have to say

[neon mesa]

trying to make the simple game 2048 using javascript and i think i have enough brainfuck for the day

[steep girder]

I tell my finger to move here and press this key; it legit rngs

[slate wing]

your first mistake was using JS

[neon mesa]

i was forced to learn it for an assigment on school of making a website

[wind pulsar]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand you, can you repeat that?

[steep girder]

Some....

[neon mesa]

so now i'm stuck with already knowing JS

[slate wing]

learn type script and let it transpile to JS lol

[steep girder]

BODY ONCE TOLD ME etc etc

[gentle slate]

The W10 settings menu is a nightmare to navigate

[slate wing]

*windows settings is a nightmare
FIFY

[kind reef]

/etc

[gentle slate]

at least the control panel is familiar

maybe Linux with a W10 VM and GPU passthrough really is the way to go

but that means having linux and windows installs on my small SSD

💀

[wind pulsar]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand you, can you repeat that?

[steep girder]

JS is one thing. But the real struggle is learning webkit or chrome or moz kit... then trying not to bash keyboard when one of the browsers behave differently

[slate wing]

you dont need a windows 10 VM my guy

[steep girder]

for some reason...

[gentle slate]

I refuse to use Wine.

[neon mesa]

i'm really close to saying fuck JS and learn python

[slate wing]

learn a WASM project lol

[gentle slate]

I have a bone to pick with wine from when I was playing with Ubuntu as a 13 year old.

Might've been 7 years since then. But I refuse to touch wine

[steep girder]

I mean today at least you no longer gotta include ie8 clauses and firefox is pretty much chrome lmfao. Then again... safari... dun dun dun

[gentle slate]

is this the evil driver auto update thing https://i.imgur.com/HDDzT6s.png

[steep girder]

Python is like taking out your veins and grinding it w violin bow lol

Yet you gotta do it because everyone

[neon mesa]

i wanna get into machine learning and basically everything uses python

[wind pulsar]

For sure!
A joke, coming right up!

||Your IQ.||

[steep girder]

The main thing you need is lambda expression i think

[neon mesa]

oh speaking of 6090
RTX 6090

we are only two generations away!

[steep girder]

Lambda you cant really compile right?

[neon mesa]

i'm not lofi girl, i'm better

i'm a lofi cat girl

[gentle slate]

what do yall think of Manjaro

Manjaro is arch ye? I have good memories of Arch. It was a cool distro. It sounded cool too.

[wind pulsar]

Those cat ears look suspiciously like the band of the headphones, though

[neon mesa]

high tech vibration speaker that puts sound right in your brain

[steep girder]

Learn scala. It's a functional language that compiles to java lol

[gentle slate]

Has League integrated Vanguard yet?

[steep girder]

As in a health+armor item? That builds into heart?

[gentle slate]

no their anticheat

the thing that runs at kernel level

[steep girder]

Ohhh.

[gentle slate]

or some shit. Very invasive

I know Valorant doesnt let you play without it

[steep girder]

I mean you gotta seriously fck up to need client side anticheat in moba

[wind pulsar]

Has started using it long ago

[steep girder]

Its not fps. If you hook into gl or al, there are no footsteps or people behind walls to see lmfao

[gentle slate]

[full fossil]

so, how long have you guys been watching Linus Tech Tips for?

[steep girder]

I mean irl on planes its kinda the only way lmao. Even then, its not always the good guys 100% of time :/

[burnt mesa]

didnt linus defend 4k over paywall?

[full fossil]

iirc, yeah

[steep girder]

I remember way back in the day tbh when ltt was first popping up on youtube. Kinda didnt watch it because i was searching legit things i needed to do but it was too basic. I wasnt there for the killer cooler in plastic container days tho. Turns out he was genius. Just had mainstream crap

[full fossil]

yeah

[wind pulsar]

4K on YouTube looks like shit anyway, so whatever

[steep girder]

Flash forward to today he gets like secret gpus from intel

[full fossil]

I started watching back in the langley house era

[steep girder]

When id only seen in one pic lol. That intel larabee or whatever

[burnt mesa]

now hes saying its dumb?

[steep girder]

Plus like 42 gpu machine from ek priced at 69k USD lol

Best tech channel on youtube ever lmao

[full fossil]

screen check

if you run a small screen yes

or a whack

you know your internet is good when youtube automatically switches to 4k

[wind pulsar]

Nah

Nothing to do with that

[dull granite]

Nah?!?

[full fossil]

mine switches to 360p

[dull granite]

SCREEN CHECK!?!?

[wind pulsar]

YouTube compression makes it look like shit, not the screen itself

[steep girder]

Ive legit seen like 3 4k vids on yt in my life. Max its 1440p occasionally. I flip on 1440 on 1080p monitor still. It actually improves quality because codecs

[full fossil]

fair enough

[steep girder]

Min filter to 1080 and its crispy

Min filter is pretty jagged on ff. Still worth. Unless its 1080p60 vs 1440p30. Ive never seen 60fps above 1080p to this day on yt lmfao

4k60 does youtube even allow that yet lol

[full fossil]

i did 4k30 😔

but, rn, i am on my MacBook Pro

[steep girder]

I mean i was gonna say now that im not in highschool hopped up on a certain natural activity 24/7

I can see beyond 1080p on desktop in front of me again lmao. 1440p i want at least. But same diagonal as current monitor. 4k idk. Macbooks i feel like 1440p is enough because of size lol

[prisma ermine]

Is there a way to run a vm of windows on the iPad Pro

[steep girder]

Unless you like put your forehead above keyboard lol. Thats a lot of eye strain tho

[dull granite]

Dimmskii sounds like a tech nerd name

it's very cool tho

[full fossil]

some difference

[kind reef]

dunno, parallels maybe?

[full fossil]

1440p 165hz is crazy

[steep girder]

As in dima + ski because slavs

dima short for dmitri

[dull granite]

ohh

i though DIMM like RAM slots

[steep girder]

idk but someone on youtube made a channel way later called jameskii lol

[steep girder]

Well yeah. Also doug dimmadome.

Owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome who's looking for his son dale dimmadome -- heir to the dimmadome fortune

[prisma ermine]

IG i could alway run teamviewer if i want to run gimp virtually

Remotely

[steep girder]

Dimmskii better than simmskii tho. Simm slots were horrible apprently

They butterflied like m.2 but not all the way. plus they stacked so you needed to take them all out to get to last one

But often times they broke after 3 removals

Thank god for dimm slot i guess

I wasnt around for simm slot days too so bullet dodged

[steep girder]

You can compile gimp lmfao

Maybe even on ipad socs. It says arm target or some sht. Then again... youre probably stuck w opengl es

[steep girder]

Windows 10 isnt avail for anything but x64 and arm. I think x86 but eariler versions or something. Not sure about arm. But if you can get that running on the ipad, you got widows 10 lol. qemu always available but could get slow...

I think ipads you gotta jailbreak and void your warranty first so apple тм certified answer is no tbh. Until they decide to let you run that same thing as m1 notebook on ipad lol

[coarse blaze]

hi, does anyone know how to inverse the FN key?

[steep girder]

bios usually

if notebook

[coarse blaze]

dang, is there not an easy shortcut to switch back and forth?

not really

i never said i had a laptop xd

[steep girder]

Fn lock and fn itself not keycodes though. They modify the codes keyboard itself sends i think

[coarse blaze]

yeah, I just usually dont use the function keys, (f1, f2, f3) but when Im working I do use the controls more often

[steep girder]

But you can probably make a toggle that listens for whatever fn down key codes are and fire off the alt ones and vice versa. Then the toggle switches places

[coarse blaze]

Ill look it up, thanks a lot

[steep girder]

JoyToKey does controllers to keyboard

and mouse. Tbh search joytokey. It might do key->key mapping too

[coarse blaze]

will do, thanks brah

[graceful burrow]

Why would you not just use auto hotkey?

[steep girder]

If so just set up your fn down to opposite and vice versa; then save a second profile without it (or some disable function)

[slate wing]

You can run windows on a ipad altho emulated x86 and it requires a mac to sideload it

You dont need to pay for it either, just renew it every 7 days

[steep girder]

But the caveat i think is you cant use the fn key for toggle or fn lock if you have it.

[steep girder]

This too
pretty sure ahk is more notorious for being considered cheat tho

[steep girder]

Btw AHK and sometimes joytokey give kicks and bans with certain anticheats so careful :p

[coarse blaze]

ahhh shii

thanks for the headsup

[slate wing]

Mostly a 10bit issue and them using shit encoders. ||also vp9 is bad||

[slate wing]

Yes and quite a bit of his argument was flawed. You dont need 4x the bandwidth for 4k at all compared to 1080, infact its closer to 2x and for some content can be lower then that

bitrate per pixel goes down the more pixels you have, this is a byproduct of modern video codecs

I can only assume he is thinking of redcode raw or something dumb

I personally would pay for better 1080.

[steep girder]

I legit only know ahk and mta san andreas tbh. Completely random: was installing like .net and all that with winetricks on linux in background. Some of them use ahk to auto install the msi's lmao. Tried joining my usual server same time. 10 min ban

wait if you gotta pay anything beyond shipping its a scam could be lol

Is it more than 0$?

[slate wing]

how much is the import fee?

thats nothing lol

[steep girder]

Hmm. Maybe nothing. But import fee is weird because that would usually go into shipping no?

[slate wing]

there are taxes on certain products outside of just moving it

[steep girder]

Or you pay it yourself to customs. Tbh you dont have to do anything until you declare its a good that your federation taxes on import lol

But how is it free shipping intl with only import fee lol. Id say dont pay anything it until you get it delivered

[steep girder]

It's quite a bit if you multiply it into many 'gpu giveaways to lucky winners'

[slate wing]

but how much is it compared to the price of the GPU lol

[steep girder]

Considering the fact they dont send. I mean depends where/who you won it from

Did you win it during like stream on twitch from the streamer or something

With other ppl there who saw it idk

Or was it just random solicited message from stranger lol

[full fossil]

just wait

"that big gray wall. there is nothing you can do about low bitrate". Linus for the love of god that's because youtube uses 8bit not 10bit

[steep girder]

Tbh im in canada and even still not exactly sure how to pay import tax here. Like i knew somebody who imported food and stuff but their driver brought it across us/can border. You do declare whats in your truck and pay whatever taxes (or lie about it and save a bit of money with a chance of going directly to jail or at least paying penalty which is far greater)

If you ship it somehow to and from us, i think you fill out what kind of item it is inside parcel and pay on the spot. So yeah maybe they are the ones who need to pay it before sending

But again kinda sus that either intl shipping of gpu is free or theyre covering it... while asking you to pay the tiny rest

I mean yeah its nothing. Thats the point. If theyre givin away whole gpu and covering shipping lol...

[steep girder]

My monitor does 8 bit

[slate wing]

Yes, most are. However 10bit ENCODED video will always have far less banding or none at all

the content or the display device does not need to support 10bit

What’s the difference between x32, x64, and x84 bit Windows OS? I know my pc is 64 bit, but idk what that means.

[steep girder]

Yeah i mean isnt he using like 8k60 48bit per pixel raw lol

As source footie

[slate wing]

yes, but they encode it to h.264 8bit before uploading and youtube itself only uses 8bit for SDR

[steep girder]

I know its 4k at least. Im exaggerating. But color wise i wouldnt be surprised if its raw 48bpp. You can do hdr yourself on source footage

[slate wing]

x86 is a instruction set. x32 is a bastardized name for x86 cpus with only 32 bit support, and x64 comes from x86_64 which is the name of the 64 bit extention from AMD for x86 cpus

[steep girder]

Nobody ever calls it x32 lmfao. First time hearing it

[patent mantle]

Oh okay, thanks

[steep girder]

x86 means minimally supports i8086 instruction set. Usually at least it means i386 tho. All of it is 32 bit

Actually i think 32 bit is why its always probably i386. It can work in 16 bit mode too bare metal

On linux tho some people still write libwhatever.i386.so

[full fossil]

wait then whats x64

[slate wing]

x86_64

[full fossil]

yea but whats the instruction set caled

[slate wing]

x86_64?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64

its x86 but for 64 bit cpus

[steep girder]

Depends on how much of it up to some point you target

[full fossil]

oh

[steep girder]

Tbh wouldnt be surprised if .386.so is wrong a lot of times because people compile 32bit on gnu with march=i686

[full fossil]

bruh my colleague is old school and told me about the 386 instruction set

[steep girder]

Or i dont remember. One of the cflags were i686. That is pentium 2 or 3 idk. Maybe 1 but some later version.

[slate wing]

daily reminders that no modern cpu actually runs x86 and x86 "instructions" are macro opts it runs

[steep girder]

386 you can still run on your x86_64 cpu today. Should be all of it (or almost)

[slate wing]

never as its not needed / can be emulated with 64bit when needed

[steep girder]

As in whatever i386 the cpu had for instructions todays 64bit intels and amds should handle just fine. I heard even 16bit mode kind of but theres a catch

[slate wing]

the real limitations of 32bit cpus besides speed issues is the ammount of memory they can address (around 4gb) while 64bit cpus have a absurde limit

[steep girder]

Windows still has optional feature to run 16bit dos executables if its 32bit os version.

[carmine compass]

🦅

[thick agate]

Prove it

[carmine compass]

Im big and a bird

[steep girder]

But theres some problem where you have like an instruction to enter 64bits today. Then you cant use some length of addressing or whatever 16bit

[thick agate]

hmmm doubt

[carmine compass]

I doubt ur a vip

[thick agate]

i am

[carmine compass]

Nice regular role

[steep girder]

Basically cant do 16bit the same way it was compiled because kernel of windows already switched it to new mode that breaks it lol

[thick agate]

wdym

[slate wing]

petition to rename regular to pleb

[stray apex]

stop being a pleb then

[thick agate]

thats my nickname cuz my regular ign was to hard to say so people called me by my rank (6 years ago)

[slate wing]

when have we ever let the kernel stop us? its like the stack size limit. its only a suggestion

[steep girder]

Kernel you ran it yourself. If you install 32bit os, it should still work the way it did without amd64. Btw amd64, x64 and x86_64 refer to the same thing today

[slate wing]

i know lol

[steep girder]

x64 i dont like because yeah... x32 lol. It takes x86 and replaces the part of proc gen with its bits. Then like x loses its meaning apart from it was the any part of the 'any 86'

[slate wing]

even AMD64 means nothing as we have SSE and AVX extensions

[steep girder]

But again perhaps it lost its meaning already because youre defs running at least whatever i686 is in gcc. Plus, if youve ever tried running a lot of games for i386 on pentium 4 xp 32bit

[slate wing]

and even if a cpu implements AVX2 like zen1 did it does not REALLY have AVX2

[steep girder]

Or pentium tbh. I mean it 'worked'
