Is 685$ for a lenovo ideapad 3 with R5 5600H + Rtx 3060 a good deal

[tired glade]

Yes

[lament junco]

Aww where uncle Linus

[tired glade]

He left us

[lament junco]

Dang

[tardy terrace]

When Linus hits 50 can we start calling him Grampa Linus

wait he's 36, how about early 40's?

[tired glade]

50?

[quartz arrow]

hey anyone know how to set up a website redirect on a single device? i want to make it so when i type youtube it forwards it to like google classroom

[jaunty compass]

To stop you from procrastinating?

[quartz arrow]

yea

getting to be a bit too much of a problem

[clever chasm]

Is 64GB too much ram still?

[tired glade]

For ddr5 will be still workstation lvl,ddr6 will be normal

[clever chasm]

I’m at DDR4

I need to upgrade soon

[plush rivet]

why

[tired glade]

It's more time frames,ddr6 most likely will be ps6 era,so pc ports will be even more demanding

[plush rivet]

ddr4 is still relevant

[tired glade]

Ddr5 still big price jump

[clever chasm]

Idk what’s the performance increase from 4 to 5 with the same ram capacity

[tired glade]

Nothing for games

[plush rivet]

the term double data rate is in the name

[clever chasm]

Gg I still stick with 4 then

[plush rivet]

what?

it very much has an impact on games

[clever chasm]

Percentage sir

[plush rivet]

in what exactly, thats a very general ask

[clever chasm]

In terms of FPS increase

And stability

[plush rivet]

again is very general, i would need specifics

[tired glade]

Stability same,fps maybe more

[plush rivet]

not the same at all

DDR5 has much harder stability than DDR4 due to faster transfer speeds

[clever chasm]

An example game being like BF 2042 at max ultra 4k

[plush rivet]

you would see a difference yes

[tired glade]

I give like 2% more

[young wadi]

hallo

[tired glade]

Hi

[clever chasm]

2% is… quite low

[young wadi]

i wanted to ask why is this product a thing?
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8sj46se/

its from razer

[tired glade]

If we talking jumping from 2133 to 8000, yes,it will be like 10-15%

[plush rivet]

idk where your getting your information from, its 50% faster.

[tired glade]

If we talking from 3200/3600 to 6000, 2-5%

[plush rivet]

still no

its very much over 25% faster

DDR4 to 5 jump is a massive difference

[tired glade]

What if games can't use extra speed?

[plush rivet]

why wouldnt a game use the speed

[tardy terrace]

The speed is there for more than just games.

[plush rivet]

in this context were talking about games, so its relevant

[tired glade]

Because they not coded with extra bandwidth in mind

[static veldt]

lenuz tek tip

[tardy terrace]

Also, games don't work like that. RAM runs at a set speed continuously.

[plush rivet]

ok? you realize the speeds are used for CPU to Ram right? doesnt mean anything to do with games

[tardy terrace]

a process will execute faster no matter what if you give it faster ram

[tired glade]

Heavy ram used software is like 50% boost from jedec ddr4 to ddr5

[plush rivet]

but that again has nothing to do with RAM alone, thats also CPU

[tired glade]

Big potato?

[plush rivet]

if your CPU cant keep up with the speeds whats the point

[runic lagoon]

if htink think about it, is a mouse just a plastic potato?

[clever chasm]

How much even is 64GB RAM for DDR5

[plush rivet]

not cheap

[clever chasm]

I need a number sir

[tired glade]

I saw as little as 245

[clever chasm]

Bet one moment

[neon mesa]

bruh the shit amount of VRAM on Ada makes me wanna skip it entirely

[tired glade]

But it was in spec ram

Oh, it's dropped already

[tardy terrace]

$250 to about $350. Depends on speed & cas

[neon mesa]

5000 series will be good as nvidia keeps this good-bad good bad cycle

2000 series all over again lmao

[tired glade]

Or 5090 will be 2000$

[neon mesa]

the VRAM count makes the 4060 possibly worse than my 3060

[clever chasm]

What part of the cycle were on now?

[neon mesa]

it's a halo product. you just can't complain about the X90

the X80 prices are what's wrong

[tardy terrace]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJP3MRW1
$275, 6000mt/s, cas@30

[tired glade]

It will make 5080 like 1400

[neon mesa]

bad obviously lol

[clever chasm]

So the odd numbers are the good and evens are bad?

[tired glade]

And 5070ti like 900

[neon mesa]

not really 900 series was decent

[tired glade]

5050, just 650$

[neon mesa]

nvidia had 3 meh series in a row too

[clever chasm]

10 series was peak at that time

[neon mesa]

400-600 series was forgetable

[tired glade]

They will never make another 1080 ti

[neon mesa]

the 1080ti is literally the 4090

[tired glade]

Price wise

[neon mesa]

just, priced like shit
the 1080ti was the one card that puts nvidia sooo far ahead of AMD

[clever chasm]

Another gold standard card?

[neon mesa]

1080ti was shit from 2016's standards

[plush rivet]

not anymore

[neon mesa]

1080ti was hated at launch

it is only now it getting love as it held up so well against time

[tired glade]

It was almost 50% faster than 980 ti for same price

[clever chasm]

3080Tihas been working like a dream for me

[agile siren]

it held well coz GCN was only really competing in mid range

[tired glade]

Just don't play d4

[clever chasm]

Lol

[tired glade]

290x was faster than first Titan on launch

[clever chasm]

What was the gimmick with Titan again?

[lethal garden]

Guys what to do with my faulty vram GPU ? Rx 570

[tired glade]

When Titan was just released

[tired glade]

Pro driver support

[clever chasm]

:/

[rotund venture]

how often does NVidia make a new series of gpus? like the 20 to 30 thingy they do

[clever chasm]

Don’t we have that all the time tho? I would hope my drivers are professionally made

[plush rivet]

every other year

[rotund venture]

ok

[plush rivet]

that honestly varies

[tired glade]

2-3 years

[clever chasm]

It won’t be 5000 anymore it’ll be the 1770 series to entice the low budget crowd

[tired glade]

But look more at accelerator market, those move faster

[clever chasm]

1660 is still an odd ball card tho

[tired glade]

Or they will just continue production xx60,xx50 cards

[pulsar violet]

Hello, I was wondering on how to change my ASUS mobo bios monitor? It doesn’t go on my primary for some reason

[clever chasm]

1650 was a… it was a card

It existed

I think

[neon mesa]

1650 is extremely popular

[clever chasm]

In what market

[neon mesa]

literally the whole PC market

[tired glade]

It's most popular steam gpu

[neon mesa]

OEMs love them

[finite cloud]

Okay first off why do you have a curved as a second monitor

Second, I’ve found that you can just change the order of the cables on your gpu and eventually it will go to the one you want

[clever chasm]

I never hear convos about them anymore.

[pulsar violet]

Oh Alr, also don’t question it, I watched… CarterPCs when I was younger

[neon mesa]

1650 is also the only worthwhile 75w card that isn't barebone in features (cough rx 6400)

well there is the A6000 but it cost your kidney

[clever chasm]

Intel gpu

[neon mesa]

the A380 is meh compared to 1650

only certain models doesn't use the 6 pin

since many A380s are the 92w one

[clever chasm]

I’m lost when it comes to understanding Intel gpus

[tired glade]

Intel GPUs is first gen product

[finite cloud]

Did you say A380?

[neon mesa]

slower too by 3%

[clever chasm]

One of the best planes

[strange elk]

I thought it sounded like an airplane model..

[neon mesa]

god damn the 1650 super was really much better than the 1650

[clever chasm]

Inb4 intel names their GPU models after airplanes

[neon mesa]

it beats the 6500XT and RX 580

[clever chasm]

I loved my RX 580

It was such a good card for casual gaming

[heady flicker]

a380 can be heavily overclocked

[tardy terrace]

omg imagine the Intel Core A-10C

[heady flicker]

a380 only uses around 70 watts under full load at stock speeds

[clever chasm]

The plane? Sure but you’ll blow the battery and fuel gauge

[heady flicker]

but it has a 8 pin connector, so the limit is the cooling solution provided

[strange elk]

I love my RX 6700

[clever chasm]

Intel Core 777 Max

Lol

[neon mesa]

Arc F35B
makes your pc hover

[clever chasm]

Arc F line
AF16, 18, 35

[strange elk]

That doesnt seem lucky

[tardy terrace]

I would love it if you could get custom ihs etching from amd/intel

[full fossil]

Should I buy a ps5 if i already have a 6700xt pc?

[clever chasm]

I love the war thunder community it’s a cult following of how to piss off the devs

[strange elk]

Depends. Want PSVR and adaptive trigger/HF on all supported games? Yes. If you just want the performance then no not really

[tardy terrace]

I love the war thunder community for it's several ITAR violations

[clever chasm]

Lol

[clever chasm]

And apparently espionage, war crimes and a few other unmentionable

[strange elk]

Even though I have my bitchin PC, I still plan on getting a PS5. Because devs suck and wont add support to games that have it on PS5.

[full fossil]

tbh i would like it for exclusives, but some are miss some are hit

I mean, i like uncharted and days gone but not Horizon or tlou

On the other hand i dont have much money and i also love nintendo franchises, so idk if i should buy a ps5 or save the money for switch successor

Really hard decision

[strange elk]

Sony is releasing a lot of games on PC, so maybe just wait and see

[clever chasm]

Legit question: HDR being viable?

[strange elk]

for what

[clever chasm]

Does it or doesn’t matter for gameplay

[strange elk]

oh, couldnt say

I feel like it sort of would. The higher contrast might help in some situations

Im too casual to care, I just would care about image quality tbh

[clever chasm]

I’ve actually wondered if your performance can get worse if you activate hdr I don’t have it on my monitor so idk

[strange elk]

Its probably marginal

[full fossil]

I am going to try Ray tracing on a square monitor from goodwill

[clever chasm]

What’s the resolution

[strange elk]

Youll have an easier time than on a rectangle monitor from asus. Wont look as good though

[clever chasm]

I prefer triangle monitors

They’re goofy

[full fossil]

Try being a young teen with basically no money

[strange elk]

I did. I wasnt knocking your setup Ive been there

[full fossil]

Wtf goofy ahh monitor

[strange elk]

Just saying itll run better if it does than on a higher res monitor

[full fossil]

It's 1080 x 1920

[strange elk]

And its square?

[full fossil]

Yep

[strange elk]

That.. makes no sense at all

[clever chasm]

You should try it your resolution will have decimal points and a grid

[strange elk]

Honestly I think I could dig triangle monitors

[full fossil]

No

[strange elk]

REALLY make a battlestation

Or smth super aesthetic

[clever chasm]

Have a trapizod setup

Or a diamond setup for racing

[strange elk]

modular monitors wen

[clever chasm]

What would be the resolution

[full fossil]

I use a crt monitor

480p

[clever chasm]

Like 980.6 x 980.6 x 1080.3?

[strange elk]

Probably starting res at 1080p,or 720 but real dense, that way you can just add more monitors and scale your res

Idk how this would work

[clever chasm]

Oh shit I just realized, triangles can stretch.

[strange elk]

lmaO

[clever chasm]

Curved triangle monitors

[strange elk]

Youd still need a small bezel Id think to hide jagged pixels

[full fossil]

My main monitor is 4k

I just want miniled

[clever chasm]

That’s the best part.. do an apple make the sides smooth

[strange elk]

Actually no, phones are dense enough the pixels arent really visible unless you are looking

[clever chasm]

Hide the jags

[strange elk]

yeah

[full fossil]

I fixed my rtx 3080, I'm gonna put it in my old core i5 2400 pc

[clever chasm]

2400?

[strange elk]

I wouldnt want a smoothed triangle tbh

Way I see the triangles on my setup as sort of wings

[clever chasm]

I can see Apple doing something like that and it will sell in 10 seconds

[full fossil]

haha sony 4k display at 6.1" haha

[strange elk]

Actually?

[lethal garden]

Yeah

[full fossil]

yes

[strange elk]

Damn. How far weve come

[full fossil]

they proved that 4k for a phone is dumb as shit

I just got the i5 2400 with the rtx on

[manic shard]

my phone's 4k im pretty sure
it is a large screen tho

[full fossil]

Opening cyberpunk

iirc sony is the only one with a 4k display

[lethal garden]

My core 2 duo e8400 does a good job with my 1080

[strange elk]

It is. 720 is enough for me personally. at that size id rather 1080 though. 720 if smaller than 5.5" or so

[pliant karma]

da whale

[lethal garden]

720>1080

[full fossil]

yeah there's a reason companies have stopped at 1440, any denser is unnoticable and a battery drain

[stray apex]

Sony's only kind of vaguely makes sense because you're supposed to be able to use it as a viewfinder for a camera
Even then
1440p would probably be totally fine
Although maybe they had to go 4k to get something with acceptable accuracy or something

[full fossil]

true

[strange elk]

I mean the iphone se is 375×667 and I felt it was perfectly fine

[finite cloud]

No this is

[full fossil]

I have a f***ed up monitor it's like 650 by 1080 or some crap

[full fossil]

it was, display density matters more tbh

[strange elk]

Yep

[pliant karma]

and this

[full fossil]

da whale

[stray apex]

Apple's retina branding is an instance of apple treating the consumer like an idiot correctly

[full fossil]

it's honestly one of their few Ws

very few

[polar fern]

The guppy

[full fossil]

W I D E boy

[polar fern]

👀

[neon mesa]

retina branding is literally just saying "our display is just barely passing the minimum" in term of pixel density

[full fossil]

If you bought a 6000$ apple monitor then you are the most idiotic person ever, you could buy a 4k 90 inch tv for that

I mean, they don't use that branding anymore anyway

[stray apex]

Yeah, because your eyes don't give a shit if it's just dense enough to be flawless or 16k at 24"

[polar fern]

The monitor isn’t a tv

Vastly different

[full fossil]

Anybody can buy a 94 dollar cpu

[pliant karma]

fun fact nasa retired sofia recently. She now is on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tuscon

[hazy dawn]

cellular modem design is a rabbit hole fraught with IP gotchas. The answer is that there's not a lot of people willing to invest millions on chip design and release the specs

And if you use the proprietary stuff then you sometimes have blackbox code with access to system memory.

[spring rain]

I propose we request microsoft to add a kill task button to the properties window if it (said program) is running.

[full fossil]

Would it be possible to open source the cellular industry without rampant piracy of cell service?

[stray apex]

what is there to open source

[tired glade]

Technically

[full fossil]

Idk like the SIM stuff and connecting to networks or is that like open source already?

[tired glade]

But you talking about IP property of Billions dollar corporation and you know how those stories ends

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure you can already just buy that stuff

And it's not like some plucky open source team is going to fab their own 5g modems

[full fossil]

I'm talking out of my arse ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tired glade]

Something like, alteration to 5g on same frequency

You will get on big trouble if you will open source such tech

[hazy dawn]

Yes, authentication doesn't depend on protocol secrecy. I don't think the protocol itself is secret. It'd be pretty hard to keep secret anyway considering your phone is constantly broadcasting it.

Cant you blocked me after

Huh

[tired glade]

It was a joke

[fiery cipher]

messages still exist after blocking

[tender geyser]

anyone tried the thermaltake core p3 case or heard of ppls experiences with it

[full fossil]

You can still see messages even if blocked, gotta be trolling.

[dreamy rose]

been a thing ever since

[tired glade]

Check, I think, gamer nexus did video

[tender geyser]

watching rn

[next dove]

So... do you guys know, what's tpm shit

2.0 specifically, Is it like a way to store private keys separately?

[hazy dawn]

It's a co-processor that's used as a keyring and smartcard in PCs.

Newer smartphones have an analogous chip.

[next dove]

So I could be able to put my keys there, encrypt my partition using them and if someone steal my ssd, they won't be able to decrypt it

[tired glade]

I mean, when we switched from ppd to smartphone?

[tired glade]

That's basic enigma

[hazy dawn]

Unlocking your drive is one of the things Windows does with it.

[dreamy rose]

Security, for windows 11 to run

[next dove]

I don't have to run Windows on this machine

I'm rather interested to use it on penguin system

[hazy dawn]

Well there are a few half-finished linux projects to integrate it

[next dove]

I mean, it sounds like an Apple's thing they had in their machines

[dreamy rose]

you dont want to anyway, but Microsoft dove deep into that shit

[hazy dawn]

The T2 and friends do more things.

[tired glade]

Oh, self promotion guy just left

[hazy dawn]

T2 does the disk encryption on apple platforms

[dreamy rose]

rip bozo

[hazy dawn]

IDK where this sentiment comes from. The TPM can't "do" anything to your computer.

[next dove]

I would like to say my machine is free out of microsoft software, but it would be a like
(I need dotnet to run opensource drivers for my pen tablet)

[dreamy rose]

didnt say anything about the TPM itself i sad you dont want Windows anymore

[tired glade]

People doesn't understand basic principles of encryption

[hazy dawn]

Oops, reading comprehension

[next dove]

I still use Windows on pc for games, but I don't see a reason to dualboot it on laptop

[dreamy rose]

there is no reason to Dualboot windows. Linux games just fine

[umbral cosmos]

Why isn’t there a channel for bicycles?

[dreamy rose]

why would there be?

this is a tech server

[hazy dawn]

If you're interested in things your TPM can do on Linux, Look up clevis, keylime, systemd-cryptenroll, and trousers

Oh uh, I think there's also a GPG plugin that can use your TPM as a smartcard, but don't quote me on that

[next dove]

trousers this is gold
I like it already, big tech companies would never named their software like that

[dreamy rose]

kate

[umbral cosmos]

Yeah good point

[fast path]

i spent 1600 on a pc with a 3070 ti w/ a 12700k but nvidia is selling 4060 w/ a i7 13620H

[dreamy rose]

thats what happens when you buy Nvidia

[fast path]

there has to be a catch bc its a laptop

[dreamy rose]

they release new things

[fast path]

how tho if a 4060 is like 900$ how r they selling a laptop for 1099 with it

[full fossil]

It’s not the same chip, power levels, etc

[tired glade]

Magic

[fast path]

did i get scammed then

[full fossil]

Scammed?

[tired glade]

It's mass production sale price

[fast path]

spent 1600 on a 3070 ti w/ a 12700k

[full fossil]

It’s a laptop

i bought a pc

[idle nymph]

If Laptop its normal, otherwise yes

Also the 4060 doesn’t even exist yet

[fast path]

god damnit

[full fossil]

When did you buy it

[fast path]

last christmas

[full fossil]

Where did you get 4060 from

[fast path]

i dont have a 4060

[indigo rose]

Would I post in tech support for stuff about virus?

[vapid smelt]

i never get ltt sponsors

[wise pumice]

pingu!

[abstract crest]

4060 mobile is basically a rebranded 3060 mobile in terms of performance

[strange elk]

I used to watch the sponsors and will if I'm really lazy but I mostly skip them now

[plush rivet]

Sometimes if I’m too lazy to skip it

The sponsors are like 10 seconds long

[patent fog]

Skipping them takes too much effort for me

[strange elk]

Actually nah I mostly skip on mobile since my app does it for me

[raw tendon]

I just watch LTT's latest video, and am I crazy to consider Linus might got a defective Model O2? He didn't entertain that possibility, but instead tried to undermine the youtuber (Frank?) credibility, I find it gross and lazy that Lab refused to benchmark with multiple units.

[strange elk]

I dont really care enough usually otherwise

[stray apex]

it's possible, but the standard procedure for a product performing poorly is to contact the manufacturer to see if that's how it's supposed to be

although given the size of LTT, it's hard to be sure if they actually did that

[rapid stone]

Not looking for too cheap looking for something that would work for at least 6 years the current one barely last 2 years without issues

[strange elk]

Meanwhile the review on the 7950x3D

[rapid stone]

Good Performance and quiet even on high load

[stray apex]

just buy a dh-15?

or uh
nhd15
the chonky noctua tower

[rapid stone]

I thought about going back to noctua but can't figure what is the best one that will suite my stupid case

[stray apex]

do you have a height limit?

[raw tendon]

I would really appreciate it if they told us, especially given the fact that Model O performed a lot better.

[stray apex]

yeah, they tend to cut stuff out if they don't think it's important for the general audience for the videos, so it can be hard to tell
you can probably ask on the forum or twitter or something, though

[rapid stone]

Factal design 6 is the name of the case I think

[strange elk]

I feel like thats pretty important

[stray apex]

r6?

[strange elk]

I havent seen this review yet so I can't say much though

[rapid stone]

This case is too tight and annoying

[rapid stone]

Yeavi think

[stray apex]

right well that supports 185mm on the cpu

which will comfortably fit an nhd-15

[rapid stone]

Fractal Design Define R6 Black TG

Found the receipt

[stray apex]

yeah, nhd15 will fit fine
I guess you might want the chromax model if it's a glass side panel

[gilded quest]

If budget is no option; NH-D15
If you want a balance of price-performance, AK620

[rapid stone]

Yea it is glass side panel but the glass is close to the wall

[stray apex]

ah
you can save like, $10 and get the classic color then

[rapid stone]

I had on my old PC noctua was perfect

[stray apex]

you might be able to just reuse that cooler?

[rapid stone]

Too old and big

[stray apex]

noctua will send you am4 mounting hardware if you have the receipt

how could it be too big

r6 fits 185mm
even old d15 are only 165

[raw tendon]

You're right, but even if it was cut, I really didn't like how they attacked the youtuber without giving us the full picture.

[still plume]

are noctua fans quieter than be quiet!s

[rapid stone]

It's a bit higher than the bequiet dark rock pro 4

[stray apex]

yeah, it's definitely a little odd since they usually try to be as drama-free as humanly possible

at least in main channel content

[strange elk]

Ma'am this is a wendys

[rapid stone]

I'm looking for something that will not block my ram sticks

[stray apex]

the coolers are usually designed to go over the ram

[strange elk]

Which blocks the sticks

[stray apex]

that's what the little shelf in the heatsink is for

[rapid stone]

Not all of them

[still plume]

could they theoreitcally make a motherboard on a PCB that is curved? Like would anyone be interested in a tube pc?

[rapid stone]

The current one is Soo close to the GPU too

[stray apex]

it sounds like what you actually want is an AIO

[rapid stone]

Maybe haven't decided yet

Witch will suite better?

[strange elk]

I got an aio. I regret it, I'm dumb. I put it in the HAF XB EVO. I'm an idiot.

[stray apex]

well
I'd personally just try to fit the old noctua and if it fits get free mounting hardware from noctua

[strange elk]

That case is massive and has no windows

But for a small case its good

[stray apex]

but since you seem to be having space issues building in your case already, you might be better off just getting a 240/280 aio

[rapid stone]

This noctua from 8/9 years ago

[stray apex]

that's fine?
it's a chunk of metal and like two motors

[vapid smelt]

a pc case for boomers

[rapid stone]

Prefer to buy a new one, the old PC have gone bye bye after 8 years and then I found out that 2 memory slots are died a long side with the cooler so switch to some Corsair AIO

[stray apex]

you could probably do a 240mm or 280 on top without much trouble

[quartz jay]

does anyone here have experience with prebuilt pcs?

[rapid stone]

I can put AIO in the front and on top of the case

[stray apex]

yes, I would recommend top because that case looks like bottom front tubes will be annoying

[frosty tendon]

doing a video on them would likely get them trending

[rapid stone]

This case is one of the big mistakes I did with this PC...
I should go for a larger case

[polar fern]

👀

[stray apex]

why

[rapid stone]

Have a lot inside it

[stray apex]

it's a standard mid-tower size case already

[pliant karma]

I see new cpu for lenovo pc

[fiery cipher]

maybe that's not what small projects want

[stray apex]

do you have multiple pcie cards or something?

[polar fern]

@pliant karma indeed

[rapid stone]

I had

[polar fern]

Zen 2 only option.

[rapid stone]

One died

[polar fern]

There’s still a chance it won’t work

[frosty tendon]

theyre not really small projects and why would you want to avoid your product getting on trending

[polar fern]

But I can always return it

[pliant karma]

yes return but hey if you manage to get it working perfect

[polar fern]

Mhm!

[rapid stone]

I had 2 GPUs and I have 6 disks and 2 m.2 of 2tb

[polar fern]

I am nervous and excited. I still have to wait for the Therapist to arrive. However, the old tube is just over two years old and I don’t want to risk it

[fiery cipher]

mind not all of them are big either, not all of them want to deal with the average joe, you ever maintained something opensource?

[pliant karma]

speaking of pcie I still have yet to remove the random sata connector from my psu that is just sticking up from the bottom of my motherboard lol

[stray apex]

they also did the pinebook

the issue is that those just aren't really things that your average consumer will actually want to buy

[pliant karma]

ehh keep it there if I do want to add a usb card back one day. For now all my pcue slots are disabled minus gpu on my b550 board since I have 3 nvme slots filled

[frosty tendon]

it makes zero sense to actively avoid gaining coverage and these guys aren't

[runic lagoon]

Raid time

[frosty tendon]

pine 64 is one company

[stray apex]

yes, and?

[pliant karma]

currently running 2 ssds, 1 hdd, and 3 nvmes had 2 before but I just added one for fun

[fiery cipher]

it does make sense to not want coverage

[vapid smelt]

the same pine that makes the super slow phones?

[frosty tendon]

theres lots of open source stuff consumers would find interesting that hasn't been covered

[stray apex]

but open source

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCKMxzz9cjs

[stray apex]

so people can try to install the play store on their linux phone

[gilded quest]

2024 is gonna be the year of Linux in mobile

[frosty tendon]

i thought the main thing for most was the switch st the back to switch off your camera and mic

[frosty tendon]

oh no not again

[stray apex]

people don't care about that

[fiery cipher]

but covering puts the products at risk.., so many projects have been halted bu their maintainers because too many of the wrong type of people knew about them

its gonna be the year of linux on the smartwatch

[fiery cipher]

year of the linux toaster

[frosty tendon]

im pretty sure its the only smartphone that offers it and people care about that stuff especially linux users, theres like an overlap

[stray apex]

linux users are an almost irrelevant market

[frosty tendon]

coverage is good

[stray apex]

they take so much dev time and usually only make up a tiny fraction of users

[fiery cipher]

it litterally is not it kills projects

[stray apex]

the cost-benefit of supporting linux is shit for most software

[rapid stone]

Wrong

[frosty tendon]

no and they can be made relevant if they were pushed more

[strong kettle]

what operating system does your mom use

[rapid stone]

Linux community growing fast af

[stray apex]

linux users are also very loud and outspoken

[frosty tendon]

i mean relatively hes right but you know

[stray apex]

unfortunately they're not good at user friendliness so

[rapid stone]

My mom is not a gamer

[frosty tendon]

thats true

[strong kettle]

The average consumer dosent even know what Linux is

[rapid stone]

I'm using Linux for the last 13 years

[runic lagoon]

And yet they use it every day 😂

my mom uses lmde5 im not joking i installed it on her laptop but she barely uses it 1 secound ill find it

I'd be using Linux too if it wasn't such a pain to move to it at this point

[runic lagoon]

Talking like websites, credit cards, extra.

[strong kettle]

most schools teach how to use a computer on windows

[strange elk]

At least 98%

Most of them are on chrome books now.

[fiery cipher]

you are 10 years behind mate its now chromeOS

[strange elk]

Well also iPads

[stray apex]

ah yes
ChromeOS
famously open and privacy-focused

[rapid stone]

If you don't need Microsoft office and Microsoft shitty programs than you good too go

[runic lagoon]

Like a whole generation doesn’t know anything but chrome.

[strange elk]

Eh not quite. VR compatibility is important for me

Its not quite the level I need it to be

[rapid stone]

VR soon will fully support Linux

[fiery cipher]

i dont see your rebuttal to this @frosty tendon

[runic lagoon]

Kids break stuff. And it’s all cloud based. Like no it. No problem.

[strange elk]

I'm using ALVR so thats a start

I still have my oculus 1. Anything else is not l33t 😉

[rapid stone]

I was the first person who reported to hitman company that hitman 2 and 3 fully support Linux and working without issues.

They didn't include Linux support at the beginning they only listed Mac/ windows I think or even only windows

[strange elk]

I had a rift s. Now THAT was bad. Quest 2 is quite good but I wish I had started with a vive

[runic lagoon]

Some of them have the reset button. 💀😂

[stray apex]

linux stans abandon their ideals faster than Elon Musk's promises to call ChromeOS "linux"

[rapid stone]

I was 2 lazy to reboot to windows 🤣

[strange elk]

On that note what's wrong with vive

[runic lagoon]

Most of them now run android.

[fiery cipher]

thats no fun, as the it guy yiu gotta make it look like you do your job

[stray apex]

even if they've gotten it to run, it's beneficial for them to not officially support linux

[rapid stone]

It does

[full fossil]

guys

[rapid stone]

Hitman 2/3 officially support Linux since then

[stray apex]

supporting all the hardware configurations on windows is already annoying enough
supporting all the distros of linux
a nightmare

[full fossil]

how to reset token

[rapid stone]

On Linux is way way easier

[fiery cipher]

reset password

[frosty tendon]

i found the laptop and it still works, still has linux.

[full fossil]

I did that

now what

[fiery cipher]

should be reset i think

[full fossil]

oh

[rapid stone]

Well so the what have we agreed about the CPU cooler? 🤣AIO or regular one that block everything ?

[stray apex]

I think it was FTL? Some indie studio that officially supports Linux
They stated that Linux users generate the vast majority of their support tickets, but make up something like >1% of their playerbase

[fiery cipher]

google it tho @full fossil

[full fossil]

ok

[stray apex]

If you can get the old noctua to fit then you can get free mounting hardware so it's basically free
But if it's a huge pain then just get an AIO

[frosty tendon]

these products are made to be sold, a review of them that went viral wouldn't kill the project

[rapid stone]

What brand ?

[stray apex]

Yeah, but what do you want them to say? It's slow, it's kind of shitty, but it's open source?

[fiery cipher]

also because linux users are just more likely to make a ticket

[stray apex]

Arctic AIOs perform well but are thick so top mount can interfere with things
EK also makes great AIOs

[frosty tendon]

if were going to stick with pine, their pinecel soldering iron is very popular in many communities because it was good.

[rapid stone]

The main issue on Linux is Nvidia drivers they're shit on this side of their support

[stray apex]

If you want people to want to buy open shit
Then it needs to be roughly as good as the closed stuff we have already

[rapid stone]

Who is ek?

[strange elk]

Pinecil is fantastic, can confirm

[stray apex]

Framework only works because their laptops are actually decent

[frosty tendon]

yeah im going to get one

[strong kettle]

alot of steam games have no support for linux too

[strange elk]

EK is one of the most popular water cooling brands

[stray apex]

EK is a water-cooling company

[lucid echo]

“It’s open!” is a dealbreaking selling point for very few people. Gotta have more than that goin for ya

[rapid stone]

Proton ge give you support for more games than valve proton

[fiery cipher]

allot of these projects aren't made "to be sold " they are made to do something and selling them is the only viable means of distributing the project

[frosty tendon]

the pine buds are decent and framework is different

[rapid stone]

Oh never looked on water cooling companies except in Linus videos

[strong kettle]

Your going to go through so much trouble with drivers and loopholes when you couldve just used a different operating system

[fiery cipher]

pine is really an outlier

[vapid smelt]

steam decks are cool

[stray apex]

LTT uses EK hardware all the time

[rapid stone]

Nah im using it for a long time no issues except with Nvidia

[strong kettle]

Yea they only run on steam decks

[frosty tendon]

what exactly are they meant to do then ?

[lucid echo]

Steam deck is Arch Linux with a fancy menu system

[strange elk]

There's 65w bricks from amazon basics. Saw a review and it seemed like it was built pretty well and ive had no issues with it. They were on sale recently for $15, grabbed 2

[fiery cipher]

allot of the time its fun for the creator

[frosty tendon]

ill just get the one from their website because i want to support them

[elfin jetty]

Me with my amazon basics UPS

[rapid stone]

Ok I haven't looked on the brand just looked on this crazy man doing science 🤣

[strange elk]

Thats fair. I just got it on amazon because I wanted to know for sure the shipping speed.

[frosty tendon]

so why exactly are they 'trying to distribute them'

[strong kettle]

majority of games still domt have support

[strange elk]

Also I wanted a power brick that was 65w anyway, just for the future. Didn't want or need the desktop power supply at the moment

[stray apex]

Amazon sells 65w gan bricks for $15?

[fiery cipher]

because they can because of how the world is now they are able to make a product and distribute it at minimal cost to themselves

[strange elk]

Yep

[stray apex]

That's a crazy deal

[rapid stone]

Well thanks guys and good night 😴

[strange elk]

I know, I'm honestly super happy. They came about around the same time I was looking for them I think, I hadnt seen much of them at the time.

[rapid stone]

Dammit I wanted to go sleep early and now it's 3am

[frosty tendon]

making stuff at a loss makes no sense for open source

Why is there such a massive price difference still with processors that dont have igpus and those that do?

[fiery cipher]

time flies when you sit on discord

[full fossil]

Where?

[lucid echo]

You have valid concerns but you’re making sweeping generalizations not grounded in reality. ProtonDB lists only 29 of the top 100 Steam games as unsupported. There’s another 8,000 known working games.

It’s got a long way to go to being a perfect system, but you’re not representing it well.

[full fossil]

I mean cmon no ones using igpus other than for a display.

Meant to upgrade my media servers gt710 to something better. Thought i could kill two birds with one stone

[frosty tendon]

they can just limit how many products they're selling or just not sell them if they do not want to. its open source and anyone can contribute but you are not obligated to make stuff

[rapid stone]

I'm on discord only an hour 😁

[strange elk]

Because it costs money to make.

[full fossil]

[stray apex]

Uh
Most people use igpus

[full fossil]

You really don’t think people use igpu to game

[full fossil]

I mean the msrp. difference is like 20 bucks. The 10100f i have now is like half the price of the one with graphics

[stray apex]

Your average person doesn't need a gpu

you are not getting the point... publicity killing projects is just a fact man

The US system basically only exists to enrich the tax software industry

Oh US does that too if you aren't like a contractor I think.

[fiery cipher]

no not basically just does

[vapid smelt]

[stray apex]

Gonna start calling anyone who uses a feature phone amish

[cosmic ore]

Pretty much, and all the efforts to change this have been shot down by their lobbies

[valid siren]

amazing what happens when you combine publicly traded corporations being legally obligated to maximize profits and lobbying.

[fiery cipher]

yeah but nearly everywher corporation tax is diy

[frosty tendon]

what

[stray apex]

No, that's what Delaware is for

[fiery cipher]

like you do it yourself

diy

[frosty tendon]

i don't get what you're talking about

[fiery cipher]

then dont reply

[frosty tendon]

i replied so you can explain

[vapid smelt]

how dare you say that when your on a American made discord server

[frosty tendon]

im asking you

[fiery cipher]

yeah but that section of not europe is in the commonwealth so ykkkkk

[fiery cipher]

yet it is self explanatory and i do not have the willpower to explain something so basic

[vapid smelt]

1776 was a cool year

[fiery cipher]

hey man we still somehow important enough that other countries talk to us still 🇬🇧

or is it sympathetic

like damn they really felloff we should check on them

[vapid smelt]

the UK will be crawling back to someone to ask for food and power

[fiery cipher]

nah we got scottish people that's basically food

[vapid smelt]

but i heard that they fight back

[fiery cipher]

take awat irnbru and they will be nonfunctional

*away

[elfin jetty]

Then over in the USA we devour everything we can for the hell of it

[vapid smelt]

but not snails unlike the french

[elfin jetty]

Fair enough

[vapid smelt]

but snails are good

[elfin jetty]

Ive never tried any, and no one around here sells them so i couldnt even if i wanted to

[vapid smelt]

my 4th grade teacher was french so she made use some scargo

[fiery cipher]

need to go to your nearest real city's french district

[elfin jetty]

I dont even know where to begin to look for that

[lucid echo]

District optional, any french restaurant will have them. I used to live a block away from one

[near nymph]

[lost kite]

@me if i should buy this for 1k usd Samsung LC49HG90DMUXEN ( in India)

[scarlet plover]

wide monitors aren't my typa thing

but go for it homeslice

[runic lagoon]

🥔

[scarlet plover]

why did bro need to mention he's in India

how does a server with 130k+ members have no one in chat

[vapid smelt]

allot of nerds are shy

[scarlet plover]

shy to other nerds?

what a bunch of nerds 😭💪

[sick jungle]

Capacity =/= activity

[scarlet plover]

they are very much linked tho

[pliant karma]

damn coopa calling us out like that

[full fossil]

jeez

steams most popular gpu is now the 3060

[vapid smelt]

3060 was such a horrible value $330

[scarlet plover]

understandable

[gray linden]

man, i just saw a guy with a ryzen 5 2600 + rtx 2070 running COD Warzone on 70 fps complaining about why he such a low fps

[scarlet plover]

a weirdly amount of pre-builts I see have 3060's

[full fossil]

i mean, even a 2600 shouldnt have that low fps with a 2070 despite the bottleneck

[gray linden]

i think the 3060 offer a good cost x benefit

[full fossil]

the cost is meh, but its prob the most popular gpu in prebuilts, which is what most people buy

price to performance is very meh, not great but not terrible, but you do get 12gb vram, decent RT and nvenc so it could be worse

[scarlet plover]

pre-builts with 3060's I see are actually surprisingly good deals

[gray linden]

the problem is, he is running a 2070 with a ryzen 5 2600

the gpu is fine, but have a giant bottleneck

[full fossil]

i know that, thats why i said there was a bottleneck

[gray linden]

oh, i just saw

[full fossil]

if hes running higher settings, then 70fps makes sense

but if he's playing on like lower settings, he should get near 100

[stray apex]

Apparently 1/4 gaming PCs use an xx60 Nvidia gpu

[full fossil]

well yeah

midrange stuff will always sell the best

[scarlet plover]

go to tech chat 🤓☝️

[vapid smelt]

a used rx 5700xt or a new rx 6600xt is cheaper and faster than a rtx 3060

[stray apex]

Nvidia at home:

AMD should just release the entry/midrange line first next time

While Nvidia is fucking around with $2000 GPUs kick them in the nads and steal market share

[vapid smelt]

thats intel job now

[stray apex]

Hopefully battlemage is good

[brave lodge]

IM so mad all my friends told me they would go to prom at my hs in 2 weeks

so i saved for 1 month to buy a 400$ tuxedo

and now EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM said they arent going anymore

[vapid smelt]

why not rent

[brave lodge]

no small ones fit me

im tiny

also, my mom didnt want me to rent

[stray apex]

Are you done growjng

[brave lodge]

and im so fucking mad bro i wanna cry idgaf abt the money i have been looking forward to prom for like 2 years cus im a loser and this was supposed to be a fun night for me

i was so excited and now it wont happen, i cant go, and its gonna fucking suck

[edgy moss]

RIP uncle linus' potato farm

[vapid smelt]

i never went to any HS dance

[runic lagoon]

Go anyway

[vapid smelt]

higher a lady friend to come with you

[brave lodge]

alone? thats pretty lame

[brave lodge]

:/

[patent fog]

Wat

[runic lagoon]

Just ask a bunch of girls out.

[patent fog]

I didn't go to prom or the other HS dance I forgot the name of

[brave lodge]

i havent talked to a girl in like 2 years besides the mf who broke up w me recently (cheated on me)

[patent fog]

Lol

Fun fact I never had a gf

[brave lodge]

and tbh she kinda was using me for money like nevr paid for shit never went anywhere w me besides fancy shit that i paid for

[patent fog]

So do many girls

You just learned the hard way

[runic lagoon]

Your basically asking some one, hey do you want to go have fun. Worst they can do is say no. And it’s like oh well. So what. 🤷

[timid meadow]

Except dont word it like that to them kekw

[golden talon]

warzone is just dogshit

[brave lodge]

nah it aint like that theyre gonna think im tryna ask em out

and like i dont find anyone attractive rn anyway, fuck girls man i dont need them

[patent fog]

Fun fact I've been told my personality prevents me from having the balls for "worst they can do is say no" lmao. Maybe one day

[gray linden]

The problem isn't in the game, is in his bottleneck

[fiery cipher]

reminds me of the memes of better allsaul mugshots

[golden talon]

no, its the game. its not optimized for anything lol

Warzone was like rated 3/10 on the optimization scale

[gray linden]

But he thinks that the game will run super fine just bc he has a good GPU

[gray linden]

Oh, o didn't knew that

[golden talon]

Warzone eats up all 16GB of my RX 6800's VRAM

at 1080p

[timid meadow]

Plenty of people (possibly you as well) dont understand how shit 70 fps looks when your used to 200+. Streamers arent wrong for crying over low fps even if its above 60. Its the equivalent of a 60 fps player having 20fps drops

[stray apex]

Mw2 runs fine on my 3060ti at 1440p

[gray linden]

That isn't my point, but you're right

[stray apex]

With half the vram
I'm pretty sure it just uses as much as you let it

[golden talon]

its optimized like piss no matter what card I used

[brave lodge]

ive had them say worse than no lol,

[golden talon]

Titan Xp, both my RTX 3070s, RX 6800. Just eats up all the VRAM

[runic lagoon]

Stats I’m for men is if you ask 100 women out. 10 will say yes. So it’s like just gotta keep asking. Like worst thing that happens is a bad date. But a few bad dates. Is nothing to meet someone you enjoy talking to.

[brave lodge]

theyve said nothing... which is worse

[patent fog]

Idk. If it's a problem for you, then so be it. For me, I am perfectly fine with even 30FPS

[stray apex]

GPUs using all the vram isn't a problem, though?
Were you doing something else with it?

[gray linden]

If mw2 is 3/10 on optimization, imagine tlou

[fiery cipher]

oh yeah 100% like you miss every shot you dont tale

[golden talon]

for what logical reason does a game need 16 GB of VRAM at 1080p, its an optimization error

[timid meadow]

I am too, i only have a 60fps main display. But when my phone drops from 120 to 60 its noticable and frustrating, especially during games. Your fine with 30 fps, you wont be fine with your game jumping from 60 to 30 every few seconds

[sturdy bridge]

still wishing i get that used RX 480 for free

[stray apex]

Because it's faster to have it in vram for when you need it?

[sturdy bridge]

friend of mines has a used rx 480

that he doesnt use cuz he has a 3070

[stray apex]

It's like people who complain about OS RAM utilization
You want to use as much of your memory as possible

[sturdy bridge]

first we have to see if it works, and if it does, then its mine

[patent fog]

The funny thing is, I have had the balls to ask other things that have resulted in a number of personal insults lol. There's just something about asking girls out I haven't yet gotten the balls to do

[gray linden]

What's your current GPU

[golden talon]

despite it being in VRAM its still a dogshit slow and unoptimized game

[sturdy bridge]

UHD 630 lmao

so basically no dGPU

[golden talon]

Id understand if it used all the VRAM and it ran at crazy good frames and efficiently, but its just not

[sturdy bridge]

so the RX 480 will be my temporary GPU till i get a RX 6600

[brave lodge]

yea man, it sucks lol. i have friends who got girls sliding into their dms on a regular, ive never got a dm from a girl ever

[gray linden]

Man, I use a gt 720, but today I bought a RX 6600, I can't wait to receive it

It will be like changing from water to wine

[timid meadow]

Its a mindset thing. Show the confidence you want to see in them. Do you, then theyll do you. Then youll have kids and a life etc etc

[gray linden]

Not water, something like dog pee

[sturdy bridge]

why a GT 720

thats weaker than a iGPU

[gray linden]

Cuz it was the only thing I had

[sturdy bridge]

my pc is a prebuilt

[gray linden]

Mine is not

[sturdy bridge]

i got the version without a dgpu

[stray apex]

The mud water you see in those ads for the charity's that build wells in third world countries

[gray linden]

Yeah

[sturdy bridge]

and in december they release the same pc with slightly changed components

the mobo isnt a msi one anymore, its a asrock one, and theres a dgpu

[patent fog]

I don't have a DM for them to slide into... lol. At least now. Back in HS I actually understand why no one wanted to slide into my DMs or even be my friend. Looking back I wouldn't want to be either. Now I like to think I'm better... but I don't have any DMs for IRL people to slide into

[sturdy bridge]

that is a GT 730

[gray linden]

I think I had this pc for like 5 years, and it is the first time I'll change to an actually good GPU

[low rain]

My sister asked our dad if she could buy stuff from goodwill and he automatically said “NO”

[brave lodge]

yea, well, i do

[gray linden]

Bc my gt 720 was so old that it started hitting 100 degrees Celsius

[sturdy bridge]

did you apply paste

[timid meadow]

Imma be going to goodwill and other thrift and thrift related shops next week actually. Ik they arent great to support but cheap stuff is cheap stuff

[gray linden]

Yeah, I actually changed it today, now it hits only 96°C 😊

[timid meadow]

See if i can find any old optiplex machines or anything

[fiery cipher]

what does goodwill do?

[patent fog]

Every purchase I wanted, my parents had to make lol

[sturdy bridge]

ill never get a monitor from amazon

[patent fog]

I had no money the entire time I lived with my parents

[sturdy bridge]

want to know why

[gray linden]

Why

[patent fog]

No
