Let me get this straight. More than 0% is the equivalent of " a lot" to you?

breakfast consumed

but you get to choose which pre built you buy and people generally choose the blue and green flavors

[manic torrent]

And they have no fucking idea what any of the numbers mean.

[pulsar shore]

and there are tons of pre builts AND people that buy pre builts especially for gaming where most of the graphic card sales happen still look at what they are buying

[pulsar shore]

incorrect

[patent fog]

I'll be honest. Strangely enough, I am not sure a lot of the PC builders know either

[pulsar shore]

i 100% agree with this years ago my parents bought an MSI all in one that had a 980 paired with an all powefull i3

[amber cairn]

bigger number better thing

[pulsar shore]

and yes i did tell them it was stupid, no they didnt listen

[patent fog]

5 seconds ago... Lmao

[pulsar shore]

my parents are not the general consumer

[manic torrent]

Oh, they are.

[pulsar shore]

they still have that pc around 10 years later

[timid meadow]

Nvmnd on the no proof, reddit algo gave it to me

[pulsar shore]

your grandma or dad arent the main buyer of graphics cards they are not

[manic torrent]

I am the dad.

[pulsar shore]

I am the one who knocks vibe fr fr

[timid meadow]

Some people want a dad bod, im happy with a dad bob running around the server

[pulsar shore]

but you arent the general consumer are you bob the dad

[patent fog]

There may be tons of prebuilts, but again the prebuilts are limited by what the seller wants to give you in that PC. Case in point if I want to buy a certain graphics card with a certain CPU, well.. I can promise you that pair may take time to find, may not even exist, or simply be at a much higher price range.

[pulsar shore]

which is why pc builder websites exist

[manic torrent]

No, I am very very far from the general consumer. I have a 6600XT egpu and a 3080ti in my gaming system, and I know what all the little numbers mean. And how they work. And why.

[patent fog]

Pretty sure PC Builder sites are for building your own PC?

[neon mesa]

traditional prebuilts don't have a lot of options
you wanna go with System Integrators

[pulsar shore]

most of them build it for you, you pick the parts

the BUILDER ones not like pc part picker

[manic torrent]

Also average consumers don't have water-cooled PCs

[pulsar shore]

to be fair not many people have water cooled PCs i doubt ill ever build one too much hassle for so little gain

[shut violet]

I’d have fun assembling a water cooled system but I’d not want one for actual work/general use

[manic torrent]

Not many people have PC cranes either

[manic torrent]

Why not?

[unkempt widget]

i do kinda want a custom loop

[pulsar shore]

i dont know what that is even

[patent fog]

If they're building it for you, then basically what's happening is you're picking the parts, then paying a premium to have someone else build it rather than you?

[pulsar shore]

yes

[manic torrent]

What it sounds like. A crane above my desk that lifts my PC up for display, and has a track that can move it to the side.

[unkempt widget]

is boat still here?

[pulsar shore]

that is so unnecessary i love it

[shut violet]

Because when I’ve had my machine I use for work go “bad” I’ve appreciated being able to troubleshoot what turned out to be a re-seat of a cpu within 20 minutes without needing to worry about a water line getting snagged or whatever

[unkempt widget]

and are we still arguing?

[neon mesa]

they're a system integrator rather than prebuilt in a traditional sense like dell

[pulsar shore]

[shut violet]

And I don’t want the extra points of failure in that sort of situation - so I stick with air cooling on my systems

[patent fog]

So then it's not a prebuilts. It's a custom built

[timid meadow]

The unnecessary part is the self built standing desk that goes with it lmao

[manic torrent]

Uhhh you don't really need to reseat CPUs on the daily.....

[shut violet]

Agreed, but I appreciated being able to get back to work within 20 minutes of a major problem

[manic torrent]

Also I have my laptop as well. If something goes wrong, I just use that

[pulsar shore]

the point of a pre built is most peeps just dont want to deal with the wiring but picking the parts is a lot easier

so its in between a pre and a custom

[shut violet]

There’d be no performance gains for me with water cooling and I’m not someone who has a window side panel to see things - so water cooling for me is pointless once the fun of setting it up is complete

[patent fog]

No, this is custom

There is no in between

[pulsar shore]

its all fun and games until your PC pees it self

[pulsar shore]

there is, its this

[patent fog]

🙂

If you say so

[pulsar shore]

i mean what ever you call it it exists and people use it.

also wow that was a really hot take i just did yeesh

[manic torrent]

Yeah, a non zero part of it was the ability to have the what more distributed over more fans, and therefore lower rpm/duty cycle, and therefore lower noise.

[deep reef]

look at my pc in battlestations it srats this is my pc specs i3...

[shut violet]

Yeah and I don't need it in my system or the noise it does make doesn't bother me, OR, the air con in here covers that noise anyway

[pulsar shore]

lol i was looking and peoples discord dates and you joined discord 7 days before me

[shut violet]

Neat, nice to meet you

[neon mesa]

that's a lot of ram for a rather low end system

[pulsar shore]

🤝

[manic torrent]

Yeah the noise floor in my office with no AC running is literally pin drop quiet.

[deep reef]

yh i got some for free beacuse someone was through it out

[shut violet]

Cool

[pulsar shore]

hey i still have my 750ti good ol trusty card

back in my older system

[deep reef]

yh i ahve it in my main though

and strugle to get 60 fps in games but its good they keeping up wiht suport for such a old card

[unkempt widget]

btw guys

if wd made quantum computers, they'd have to rename it to wa

[pulsar shore]

ok ill bite, i dont get it

[manic torrent]

.... You mean wt.

[unkempt widget]

because quantum computers are analog

[pulsar shore]

ah

[unkempt widget]

what

[manic torrent]

Quantum computers are not analog.

[unkempt widget]

then what are they

[manic torrent]

They use qubits

[unkempt widget]

oh quantum computers can be digital?

[pulsar shore]

yeah i was confused so i googled it

[neon mesa]

qubits can be 0, 1 and everything in between

[pulsar shore]

they ARE everything until you observe them

as far as i know (very little) qubits exist in a state of flux so they are 1 and 0 until you look at them, thats the reason Schrodinger cat analogy was made because Schrodinger found the whole idea stupid

[manic torrent]

No, digital is only 0 or 1

A qubit has three states. 0, 1, superposition.

[pulsar shore]

so he put a cat in a box (with some poisoned food IIRC) and said its both dead and alive until you open the box

[manic torrent]

It's ternary. Sort of.

[manic torrent]

No, with a device that killed the cat if radioactive decay occured

But... Yeah, not too far off, you got the most important bit right 🙂

[unkempt widget]

no, with a radioactive atom that emits alpha particles

[full fossil]

what are u making again >:[

[pulsar shore]

oh yeah i remember now and if the radiation hit the device juuust right it would kill the cat

[unkempt widget]

a cat killing box

[pulsar shore]

long story short cats fine

[full fossil]

smh

[manic torrent]

.... Until you open the box

[pulsar shore]

i was talking about after they opened the box the cat was still alive in the end

[manic torrent]

... or not.

[full fossil]

stop scaring the children :V

[manic torrent]

It wasn't a real experiment

[pulsar shore]

I guess we will never know meow

[neon mesa]

is DVI a shit connector or is it fine

like why does no one use it
except maybe jake

[manic torrent]

The connector is fine but holy ancient ewaste batman

[full fossil]

OwO who are u, stop spying on me >:[

[manic torrent]

Display port is way better than dvi

But if dvi is what you have... It's fine.

[neon mesa]

DVI been there since VGA still widespread yeah?

[pulsar shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yGk6pNl6lA&t=0s

[neon mesa]

and VGA was god awful
why don't DVI get used

[pulsar shore]

the whole cat thing reminded me of this

[unkempt widget]

it was a thought experiment, they never did it

[unkempt widget]

it's the best connector

[shut violet]

I don't understand the "this connector is woeful, but this one is absolutely baller"

[manic torrent]

Vga predates dvi by alooooooong margin

[shut violet]

It's technical progression

[unkempt widget]

it had both analog and digital

[neon mesa]

i did say there when vga was still widespread not when vga come out

[manic torrent]

Ah ok, still

[neon mesa]

VGA was widespread even in the 2010s, starting to die but still not dead dead

[shut violet]

Because more people had PCs or monitors with only VGA at one point and if they just used their computer to play solitaire or read emails, why would they bother upgrading their monitor or a component in their PC?

Considering VGA would happily, and still does carry 1080p, if it works, people will use it

[manic torrent]

Dvi died before vga did, really

[shut violet]

^ it did

[neon mesa]

yeah so why don't monitors adopt it if DVI been there for a while

[shut violet]

Because it didn't offer the general consumer an upgrade in performance

[manic torrent]

Hmmm? DVI was used, but display port was better in almost every way

[unkempt widget]

my math teacher uses vga to connect his pc to his monitor

[shut violet]

A VGA cable which isn't damaged on the same monitor that has both inputs would give the same quality image 99.9% of the time

[neon mesa]

a lot of miner polaris cards have DVI only output for some reason

[tired glade]

VGA still used in projectors

[shut violet]

Unless you have a higher res/higher refresh rate monitor where the extra bandwidth of the more modern HDMI/DP connection forms are required, VGA is still completely fine

[sleek quarry]

she lorem on my ipsum until i Click to add text

[patent fog]

Isn't VGA analog?

[shut violet]

Yes it is

[manic torrent]

Yes

[tired glade]

Yes, that why still used

[shut violet]

And if you aren't getting obscene interference issues, there is nothing wrong with that analogue signal

[unkempt widget]

my brian hurts from reading that

i keep on clicking on it, yet i can't add text

[manic torrent]

For an npc spec PC, yeah.

[patent fog]

Huh. A recall to the past where I actually used VGA, and fine you make a valid point.

[shut violet]

^ exactly

Which, when VGA and DVI were the most commonly shipped connectors on cards/displays, the performance difference at home would have been barely noticeable

Nowadays using VGA on a higher res/refresh rate monitor will obviously limit what that monitor can deliver

[patent fog]

iirc, I used an HD monitor back then. An HD monitor that was lower quality then the laptop I bought lol.

[shut violet]

I had friends who would connect laptops to their 720p (1368x768) input TVs with HDMI insisting that they needed to do that, otherwise it wouldn't be HD

Which is totally, totally incorrect and VGA would have been fine, they were going by the marketing only 😂

[tired glade]

Hd is 720p,so...

[shut violet]

yes but VGA will work with a 1080p signal, so they didn't NEED to use HDMI

They just didn't know this and said something which was wrong

[patent fog]

It's also 1080p. And I think 1440p.

:p

[manic torrent]

No, 1080 is fhd

1440 is... 1440.

[tired glade]

IBM standard goes only up too 928p

[patent fog]

Figures. Thanks for the recall lmao. I remember Linus explaining that now.

[manic torrent]

But a lot of monitors these days have specific ports that give you full features.

[wispy marsh]

1440 is dhd, Double HD

[patent fog]

IBM has a standard?

[tired glade]

1440p. is quad HD

[tired glade]

VGA is their thing

[wispy marsh]

1440 = 720 * 2

[unkempt widget]

it was made on april fools

also that guy literally complained about how the screwdriver would overheat because there are no fans

[shut violet]

Nah deffo serious vid

[unkempt widget]

and then said the 8 pin eps cable won't fit in it

[mint yacht]

Soliciting is not permitted here.

[kind tinsel]

Bit of a weird video for April fools. I get the parts he was trying to mimic Linus but why touch on just the screw driver and not just a video of him reviewing his own pc system pretending to be linus?

[unkempt widget]

it's a funny video

[kind tinsel]

Eh I guess I just don't get it why it was a "review" on the screw driver and do the same video they did on their pc system.

[unkempt widget]

it's a joke lol

[kind tinsel]

Like I said I know I just don't get it.

[unkempt widget]

because he's trying to make fun of linus

literally said performance issues were due to driver issues 💀

[shut violet]

Dear god

[full fossil]

So I've been using a hackintosh for a few days now and I fucking love it coming from gnu/linux

[kind tinsel]

Yeah I know and like I said I get he was doing a video of their video of their pc system but saying it about his screw driver.

And its a joke so it does not have to make sense but would of been different if they just did a actual pc review but pretending to be linus.

[shut violet]

Because Linus reviewed a product they made

So they have reviewed a product Linus made as a joke, it’s not difficult to figure out

[wispy marsh]

Heya, I found pixel 5a and 6a for $300 locally, which one should I get as a spare to run grapheneOS?

[summer folio]

1337!

[full fossil]

If they are both the same price or within $50 then get the 6a. If you care about headphone jacks get the 5a

Honestly just get the 5a. It doesn't matter nowadays because unless your going to be gaming just get the cheaper phone

Also the camera means squat because theirs not really any google camera software magic so it's going to look bad either way

And yes I know because I used to run graphene OS on a pixel 4a before I was tempted by a very cheap S21 which I still have to this day

[hazy holly]

Any fixes for a red light on the ram problem led on the motherboard

[plush rivet]

Reseat the ram until you find the issue

[wispy marsh]

They are the same price. I have the airpods pro, ATH-IM04 (bluetooth 5.0) and the wh1000xm4

I might otherwise get another iPhone with the camera removed because I want a non-camera phone

[full fossil]

You need to check if graphene os disables bluetooth for security reasons

[near silo]

Is 135€ for a Ryzen 5 5600 good and worth it to upgrade from the 3600?

[hazy holly]

Yep done that ive tried it with two different sets, if i put two sticks in (on slot 2 and 4) it flashes the cpu and ram lights then settles on the ram light and if i only put one it only flashes the ram light

[full fossil]

100% lol

[hazy holly]

Im stumped

[near silo]

Mhm, thank you for the input

[full fossil]

Do Iphones still operate without warnings with the camera removed?

[full fossil]

I'd recommend getting the 6e then because it comes with wifi 6e and a few other features you may like

[eager venture]

An iPhone with no camera?

[shut violet]

....

[gleaming harbor]

only $99.99 to add an external camera

[eager venture]

I mean iPhones with no cameras exist?

[pulsar shore]

camera with no iphone

What's the set of components are called ecosystem?

[pulsar shore]

i mean im not an apple fan so Samsung

[visual lodge]

You're the person\

[next dove]

Not a fan of apple, huawei (honor too) and samsung

[pulsar shore]

i am a person

[visual lodge]

🤟

[visual lodge]

Apple fans aint no persons

[wispy marsh]

The phone's gonna be brought into a non-camera security zone, so no cameras

[pulsar shore]

its just electronics man no need to get so heavy handed about it

[visual lodge]

I see every reason to do so

[pulsar shore]

alright

[next dove]

To be honest, I would be an apple fun, if only I wouldn't have to use their OSes on their devices

[visual lodge]

:Applelogo:

[full fossil]

Definitely graphene os. I don't think you can take out the camera of an IPhone without it screaming at you

[next dove]

Macbooks are sick

[visual lodge]

Sooo tru

[next dove]

But... I would like to have linux on them

[wispy marsh]

It's fine, the iphone would just have a red notification icon on the settings app

[plush rivet]

Apple wins by a landslide

[next dove]

• Lenovo

[visual lodge]

Apple proprietary bullshit

[next dove]

Lenovo is a bullshit

[plush rivet]

apples ecosystem is uncontested as one of the best on the market

[pulsar shore]

doesnt the company or government entity you work for provide you with phones for such areas?

[visual lodge]

Lenovo is not relevant now

[pulsar shore]

def top 3

[visual lodge]

so you say

[next dove]

They have released update for my tablet and bricked it

And the shittiest part: I can't download ROM because they banned my country ip

[visual lodge]

does not change my opinion about it

[next dove]

Huawei and Samsung are just un-unlockable

[full fossil]

Yeah, ever since the Last great thinkpad (T480) lenovo has just gone onto do what everyone else does, make hot overpriced laptops.

[wispy marsh]

Doesn't apply to the majority of my clients

[visual lodge]

✅

Thinkpads were something else

[pulsar shore]

does it have to be an iphone?

im sure there are some phones that make it easier to remove the camera

or just you know 🔨

[full fossil]

IOS will scream at you when it boots without a camera

[wispy marsh]

That's why i picked a grapheneOS phone

[full fossil]

So don't go the Iphone route

[visual lodge]

It will refuse to boot

[dire hornet]

I found something ultra sketch on my GPU box, can someone look at what I posted in #screenshots ?

[full fossil]

Last time I took out the camera om an IPhone it was the 6S and ir booted but screamed at me. That was a very long time ago though so I guess it's gotten worse and more locked down

[visual lodge]

I was joking duh

[pulsar shore]

I mean how else is apple going to film you everywhere you go

[full fossil]

I got a hackintosh and have modified it so much now lol

the VRAM count on 4060 makes me wanna vomit

i will be keeping my 3060 12GB for quite a while

[calm kestrel]

Almost lost my steam account

Got a message early this morning about someone “accidentally reporting me” after they got scammed on csgo. Sent me some pretty real looking screenshots saying to contact the steam moderator on discord

[quaint charm]

^^^^^^ same

[wispy marsh]

Open the link in windows sandbox or a virtual machine if you have one

This happened to me once and I shoved in the guy's face, forum threads of the "moderator" being a global scammer on steam

[neon mesa]

bruh the only worthy replacement is the 4080 16GB
the only CUDA card that has 16GB that isn't shit for gaming like quadros/teslas

[desert ivy]

The 4060 will outperform the 3060 by a big margin thanks to Frame Generation. Regardless of the VRAM. The issue with the 4060 is that you can get a 3080 for 500 bucks.

[wispy marsh]

You're more likely to be tricked if you don't cross-reference information from different, unaffiliated sources

[calm kestrel]

No links. Dude messaged me on discord saying he accidentally reported me. “Someone used my accounts pfp and name to scam him” then said I had to contact another dude on discord to make a appeal or my account would be suspended for scamming

[neon mesa]

they're not far in regular raster and that matters more

[wispy marsh]

Submit a ticket through the official discord website.

[neon mesa]

and in ML workload don't even think about the 4060
the 8GB VRAM will choke it

the 3060 already chug with 12GB

[wispy marsh]

Never ever trust links unless the source is valid, even if it's a newsletter

[desert ivy]

I don't use my card for ML.

[neon mesa]

well i do

i guess i will be skipping this generation like everyone else

[wispy marsh]

You'll be skipping frame generation

[neon mesa]

fuck frame generation

[wispy marsh]

[calm kestrel]

They never sent me links. They asked me to sign out of my steam so they can “verify my account” so I wouldn’t get banned lol

[neon mesa]

FSR3 will bring Frame Gen to everyone anyway

[wispy marsh]

Do you have Steam Authenticator?

[coarse robin]

is there anyone who can recommend a motherboard for an I3 10100F and ddr3 ram and a gtx 960.

[calm kestrel]

Yep they asked me to sign out of it as well

[desert ivy]

Frame Generation is the biggest innovation since DLSS 🤷🏽

By the time FSR3 is viable everyone will go for a 50series anyways

[wispy marsh]

Tell them that they'd have to contact your parents since you don't have access to your Steam Authenticator

[neon mesa]

i ain't paying for a lower VRAM card just for FG that will only be available on certain games
the higher VRAM count is more valuable for me

[wispy marsh]

Have a little fun

Make sure the scammers are familiar with the journey one takes to cancel an amazon prime subscription

[desert ivy]

But that's because you do ML stuff. Not because of gaming reasons.

[neon mesa]

i also game, and none of those i play is implementing DLSS 3

paying for these overpriced card just for a half working feature is just not worth it

[wispy marsh]

To be fair, it's a good card

[neon mesa]

DLSS 3 will probably only be implemented on those half assed triple A games

[wispy marsh]

It's an excellent card unless you're not a green fanboy

[neon mesa]

the only game i play right now that even use DLSS 2 is CP2077

[wispy marsh]

How's performance with rt medium, all on?

[neon mesa]

PCBS 2 also got DLSS but i am not sure if it's DLSS 2

[wispy marsh]

60fps 1440p in City Center?

[neon mesa]

i play all maxed out at RT Ultra
like 45 FPS with my 3060

[wispy marsh]

[neon mesa]

i don't really need the high fps so i max out quality

[wispy marsh]

Going below 80fps, no thanks

[desert ivy]

But Cyberpunk has DLSS3.

[neon mesa]

cyberpunk have stable 1% and 0.1% lows so it feels smooth

[full fossil]

My 1660ti pushing 50fps medium 😞

When you spend 11 months out of the year on a ship, yeah it is

[desert ivy]

I mean you have a 3060 makes no reason to upgrade after one generation. But the difference between a 30 series and a 40series isn't going to be small.

[full fossil]

$599 4060 let’s go

[desert ivy]

I only play single player games and I think Frame Generation is really the best innovation I'm the last few years.

[neon mesa]

last generation 499 for 3070 💀

scalpers aside of course

[desert ivy]

The 4070 is going to be 600.

[wispy marsh]

... no

iris-tracking dynamic rendering is the best gaming technology in the last few years

[wispy marsh]

Afaik there's only one product that does really good iris tracking

It costs as much as the thing it runs on

[neon mesa]

meta is still silent about quest 3

[desert ivy]

That technology is for VR. And yeah it's super cool but I'll need to see it on a PC and working on a monitor.

[neon mesa]

i am really waiting for a definitive date
because i don't wanna buy a quest 2 at 400 only for Q3 to release

[wispy marsh]

I want an Index 2

[neon mesa]

valve isn't good with delivering anything with the number 2 and 3 in a short time

[wispy marsh]

Portal 2 is amazing

[neon mesa]

took them long enough for CS2

[wispy marsh]

They're just an indie company, cut them some slack

[neon mesa]

HL3 isn't a thing
you might call HLA, HL3 but still

TF2 is still TF2 with no TF3 in sight

they might as well make TF2x2 3.2

someone is looking over me from heaven i just got shocked by a 200v power supply and im still somehow alive

lmao

[desert ivy]

How did that happen?

[tight gulch]

Does ltt have a YouTube channel

[tired glade]

Nvidia really though 4070 can be 750?

[neon mesa]

4060 really gonna cost 500

a fucking X60 card for 500
that's as much as a decked PS5

[echo canopy]

Frame generation sucks rn and adds twice as much latency as just normally playing rn

[spiral summit]

A 4060 for 500? Seems like a pretty good deal to me

[echo canopy]

Even the best nets for frame generation fails to handle complex depth maps as well as predicting large intermediate movements

[gilded quest]

depends on the day

[slate agate]

the 3060 msrp was $329

[pulsar shore]

honestly no reason to buy a 40 series card over a 30 OR just a console

well unless youre an engineer

[slate agate]

the 4060 is going to be spec wise more like a 50 or 30 class card considering how cut down it is

[spiral summit]

Damn

[pulsar shore]

or AMD

well actually i wouldnt say no reason, DLSS 3 is A reason

[spiral summit]

A 3080 would be more than enough for most people

You really don't need anything more unless you're running something ridiculous

[pulsar shore]

i think were slowly reaching a point in gaming and graphics cards where were going to move towards efficiency more than power, like smart phones

[slate agate]

3080 choking in newer games due to the limited vram

unless you want to only run it at 1080p

[pulsar shore]

what are these newer games?

[slate agate]

RE4, hogwarts being the newest, but plenty of "older" titles like doom eternal for example

[spiral summit]

Isn't Hogwarts badly optimized

[pulsar shore]

I have a 3070 ti and Hogwarts runs at at least a 100fps max RTX

[slate agate]

that's just the excuse everyone uses when things start getting vram limited "it's poorly optimized!"

we are just in a generational change again where requirements are higher

[pulsar shore]

well it is poorly optimised

[slate agate]

same thing happened when we went from 4gb being standard to 8gb

everyone saying "the game's just poorly optimized, we don't need more then 4gb of vram"

[desert ivy]

Emma no. Doesn't suck. It looks awesome. And people with 40series card love it. So I bet you don't have one.

[neon mesa]

it's both

we have seen how light games can be if a dev takes optimization seriously

[pulsar shore]

im not going to despute that games will need more power, but not more than last gen

[slate agate]

regardless there are plenty of examples that show 8gb isn't enough, 10gb isn't enough, even 12gb isn't enough

and doom enteral is actually an example of a greatly optimized game

[pulsar shore]

doom eternal ran great on my 1060 and 8gb of ram

[spiral summit]

I mean, if you want to get a 40 series, all power to you, but I really don't think most people need anything more than a 3080, especially with these prices

[shut violet]

For the time being i'm sticking with my 1070. basically, until it dies, as not a big gamer lol

[spiral summit]

See

[gilded quest]

1080ti till it dies

[desert ivy]

Just put Texture Quality to medium. Games should include huuuuuge textures for cards with over 20gb, they can set them to high/ultra and everyone else to whatever their VRAM says.

[gilded quest]

actually i'll probably upgrade next year

[slate agate]

all choke on 12gb-8gb of vram

[tight gulch]

most people spend most of their time on either Indie or old games

[gilded quest]

not sure about this

[spiral summit]

[gilded quest]

unless you want min settings

[slate agate]

there's a decent thread on games that have issues with vram on anandatech

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/the-8gb-not-enough-thread.2595331/

[pulsar shore]

csgo, dota, basically anything indie

[spiral summit]

What are you suggesting we do

Most peopl play on phones but most people in here are enthusiasts. So whatever the 80% do is irrelevant.

[gilded quest]

rip anandtech

[spiral summit]

Get a 40 series?

I don't get what you're defending here

[pulsar shore]

looking at the top 10 games 8 out of 10 came out around the time or before the 10 series

[spiral summit]

Like sure, 40 series is better than the 30 series, but that's common sense

im one of those lol

its dead dead

killed by devs, nvidia, and motherboards

[neon mesa]

nvidia tried keeping it alive
dev said it's pain

[pulsar shore]

insert Disintegration gif

[desert ivy]

The whole thread is purposely testing settings that make cards go to 12gb so they can say an entry level card outperforms a 3080. It's absurd.

[neon mesa]

so nvidia give up as well

[gilded quest]

and then the motherboard makers stopped certifying for SLI

[desert ivy]

Having extra VRAM is awesome. But it's just one part of the equation of visual fidelity.

[pulsar shore]

unfair how can an entry level card be here and not be given the rank of gamer

[gilded quest]

i've at most used 6GB of my 11GB of vram

[peak dew]

do any of you know if there are any benchmarks of a ryzen 9 7900 non xt with the stock air cooler that comes with it?

its like those rich people that havent been to 30% of their mansion

On Cyberpunk I use 10. But can lower it to 8 easily with unnoticeable visual loss.

[peak dew]

I want temp info

[gilded quest]

I'd rather play at high refresh rates than high textures lol
plus i don't own any newer AAA games

[echo canopy]

Emma? And no it looks bad. I’ve personally used better implementations for video and it’s… bad. With a higher FPS source in games yeah it can look better but it’s still bad. Nor would I like 60hz latency on a game I can only render at 120 fps. That would be beyond painful

[pulsar shore]

im going to be 100% honest, and i know ill be killed for this

i cant really tell 120 fps and 60 fps apart

[gilded quest]

go see an eye doctor

[pulsar shore]

i do have glasses

[gilded quest]

i can tell 120 from 165 pretty easy

[pulsar shore]

🤓 me

[peak dew]

my ryzen 5 5600g gets 60c while web browsing

[arctic flax]

You need better glasses

[gilded quest]

144 to 165 is harder

[peak dew]

is that bad

[echo canopy]

I refuse to believe you’re setup is right or you actually tried to. Even going from 60 to 75 is a HUGE jump and is becoming more common in office displays

[gilded quest]

I think 240Hz is gonna be my limit on refresh rate

[pulsar shore]

like i CAN kind of see it but its not like the huge difference between 30 and 60 its like eh

[gilded quest]

every time i pick up my 60hz ipad i cringe at how shit it is

[pulsar shore]

3070 ti, 16gb ram, 5800x, asus vg247 q1a monitor

every time i pick up my 60hz ipad i cringe at how shit it is

and its set to 165 refresh in settings

[gilded quest]

ipad + apple pencil + onenote is goated for taking notes

[pulsar shore]

i am the dumb cant spell monitor

[echo canopy]

It does. Maybe you’re just not as sensitive but sometimes the blurring or warping can be horrible as shit

And it makes it “feel” worse, not just visual artifacts

[gilded quest]

is it an expensive way to take notes? sure
but its really fucking nioce

[arctic flax]

I have been debating on getting an Apple Pencil for note taking

[gilded quest]

apple pencil gen 2 is fantastic

I want to trade my iPad air for an iPad mini tho

[pulsar shore]

hell i started playing elden ring and i didnt notice it was 60 fps locked until 30 mins in

[arctic flax]

Yeah they have great reviews

[echo canopy]

I mean, even nvidias own flight sim example of DLSS 3.0 had horrible warping on the planes propellers

[arctic flax]

I would also want to get a iPad Mini for a smaller form factor. My 10 inch iPad might be overkill

[desert ivy]

Almost everyone preferred the DLSS3 implementation on LTT video 4 months ago. And DLSS3 just keep getting better 🤷🏽

[gilded quest]

fr
the 10" is chonker and i don't like it for consuming media since half the screen gets letter boxed

[pulsar shore]

DLSS and FSR are the future of gaming

[gilded quest]

man what the FUCK

[echo canopy]

Did even the competitive ones like it? I highly doubt edzle or however you spell it would like it

[arctic flax]

I love it for consuming media as I want a better visual. I don't mind the letter box strangly

[gilded quest]

if the iPad was OLED, i dont think the letter box would bother me as much
but if im watching anything in "cinematic" aspect ratio; half my screen is now grey bars which ain't great

[pulsar shore]

graphic card companies will start going after getting more performance with software rather than hardware I could be wrong but it makes sense

[echo canopy]

Eye tracking dynamic resolution is with FSR and DLSS sprinkled on top

[arctic flax]

Yeah I can see that. I just compromise as I know I am watching on the go

[wispy marsh]

I dug up some dirt about England.

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54423988

[pulsar shore]

yeah but having a camera watch me when im playing games is eeeeeeh

[desert ivy]

I don't think anyone recommended it for competitive games. Except DCS where Anthony said it was better.

[echo canopy]

It’s already in VR headsets and can give massive performance uplift

[pulsar shore]

i dont doubt the tech at all buuuut

[pulsar shore]

just 2 so far the sony ps vr and the newest zuker system

[gilded quest]

it makes sense in a VR context, but doesn't in a normal desktop context

the interior of a VR headset is a very controlled environment

[pulsar shore]

I would 100% get the PS VR if it would work with PC

[pulsar shore]

yeah its JUST eyes in there

[echo canopy]

Fun fact Technically steam VR already implements dynamic resolution for all headsets which nice

[pulsar shore]

like the Duel sense

[gilded quest]

I would like valves next headset to do eye tracking and be oled

[pulsar shore]

"valves next head set" you are assuming so much right now

[gilded quest]

shhh

dont tell me things I don't wanna hear

[echo canopy]

They are going to make another one almost definitely.

[pulsar shore]

boy if that isnt the state of the world right now

[gilded quest]

although isn't valve rumored to be working on an inside out thing for the masses?

[pulsar shore]

right after another mainline half life game

[echo canopy]

Wdym for the masses? Since the rifts Facebook already did

[gilded quest]

by "the masses" i mean self contained and affordable

console like as opposed to a desktop accessory

[pulsar shore]

valve can only fund so many products they make a loss on

[red marten]

no clue how cool this would look in practice, but imagine oled vr headset with eye tracking and a game with dof 😩

[pulsar shore]

and right now its decking time

[echo canopy]

Well inside out is already self contained in facebooks headsets

[gilded quest]

yeah it would be competing with Quest

[gilded quest]

are you saying you want facebook to have a monopoly on low end VR?

[pulsar shore]

would be nice to be able to buy the deck outside of US/East Asia

[neon mesa]

can you blame facebook when no one else wants to fill up the space

[echo canopy]

No, it’s just that’s the bare minimum not a introduction to the masses

[pulsar shore]

yes i can

[gilded quest]

i thought there was a report of valve working on something

project deckard

[pulsar shore]

I can blame face book for a lot of things

[neon mesa]

i want 300 bucks quest back

maybe deckard is higher end

I think it's the opposite, at least on the web-based discord client - The html has two attributes that prevent that

I believe LTT has a video on VM'ing macOS inside linux..... it has SO many hoops to jump through

[polar fern]

Use water.

[uncut axle]

I wonder when my hotspot will get slowed down

[polar fern]

Ethanol is not good for cleaning screens.

[uncut axle]

I’m at 7gb used and gonna add another 10gb

[polar fern]

My cell service goes to 25 gig before they fiddle with the speeds.

Grocery delivery - bbl

[uncut axle]

I guess I will see, it’s like a week until I reset my statistics in my cellular tab

Because I reset it every month, I think I’m on a unlimited plan just idk what the limit is for hotspots

Although the hot spot speeds aren’t bad

500-700KB/s mainly

Although depends on how much usage AT&T is having

Last night it was terrible, like under 100KB/s

[tardy terrace]

I was gonna ask what kind of variables you've found that'd increase speeds

external antennas, or are you just choked by qos

[uncut axle]

Whatever came with my motherboard

[tardy terrace]

n-no, your hotspot

[uncut axle]

Oh

Having a 10gb download done in 5-6 hours isn’t terrible here

Especially with how bad our internet is (it’s usable for most things, sometimes)

It’s not super stable, but it’s the best we can do, until we get starlink or something

More like if we get starlink

Although maybe we will get AT&T fiber first

Apparently they are doing something with the lines down the road

So maybe fiber, hopefully

[tardy terrace]

I'me hopeful one day centurylink expands it's ftth network into my neighborhood. We've got POTS for the last mile but it's a 5-10gb/s dual simplex fiber to the neighborhood dslam

[uncut axle]

We get terrible speeds, with the dsl + cellular data

We use dsl mixed with AT&T cellular data, it’s ok when it works

But that’s the first downside, speeds depending on the towers

[wispy marsh]

Reminder: It's friday, friday, gotta get down on friday

[tardy terrace]

As much as I wish my speeds were faster I've got a somewhat nice redundant setup- dual 75/10-12mb/s lines bonded for roughly 170/24, if one half goes down, I still have half my internet speeds

[light jacinth]

I've been googling AM4 socket cover and can't find anywhere to buy a new one. Does anyone sell them?

[tardy terrace]

Honestly? I don't see much of a reason to

[pulsar shore]

as in the ones that come with a motherboard?

[tardy terrace]

and IIRC pin-insert sockets didn't come w/ socket covers

[light jacinth]

yes, the plastic piece that protects to socket

[pulsar shore]

you can get them second hand

aaaand thats about it as far as i know

[light jacinth]

Where from?

You need it to RMA a mobo

[molten drift]

When your windows don't seal well you can tape plastic film Infront of the window to have it give better insulation

[tardy terrace]

come to think of it my am3 m5a97 pro didn't have a socket cover

[pulsar shore]

oh where im from we use this thin foam string instead that makes a seal

[molten drift]

Likely cause am3 is pins on chip not so easy to damage in transition.

[tardy terrace]

same w/ am4

[pulsar shore]

ebay or similer reseller

[tardy terrace]

Hence I'm saying I don't think AM4 has ever had a socket cover.

[molten drift]

We have both rope caulking and plastic film on ours.

[pulsar shore]

thats a lotta insulation

[tardy terrace]

Windows are the leakiest part of an insulative barrier

[light jacinth]

I'm stupid, AM4 doesn't have a socket cover like Intel CPU's

AM5 does, but not AM4

[tardy terrace]

'tis what I said

[light jacinth]

Lol you did, didn't see that

[tardy terrace]

well alright ~fancy-pants~ /s

[pulsar shore]

i cant believe it, a hole in the wall is less insulated then wall

[molten drift]

I don't want my apartment I want one with smaller ceilings but the rent is cheap...

Literally the ceilings are 3 times my height. It's so much wasted space.

[tardy terrace]

Alright there captain sarcasmo, settle down.

[pulsar shore]

sorry it was too funny for me to not say it

[molten drift]

If it wasn't for the windows being blocked and the ceiling fan in the way. I would just build a mezzanine for me in my room lol

[tardy terrace]

I get vaulted ceilings as an aesthetic standpoint but it introduces so much echo & noise

[molten drift]

If I had vaulted I would have the fancy wood sound traps that fluff/ Ryan Bruce uses.

[tardy terrace]

and exposed wood beams

[ocean narwhal]

Are there any usb to ethernet adapters that have a detachable cable/female port on both sides?

[molten drift]

But yeah being shorter than 5 feet and having 12 foot ceilings is no bueno.

[ocean narwhal]

every single one on the planet seems to have a hardwired usb side

[tardy terrace]

big fat 6x10's running every 4'

[tardy terrace]

You'd be better off getting a usb-a female-female adapter

[hearty spear]

12 ft cielings allow you to juggle or play with stuff indoors without worrying about hitting it!

[molten drift]

Ceiling fan tho

[hearty spear]

is it ceiling mounted or suspend way down?

[tardy terrace]

12' ceilings are also decor traps and that means more things to dust

[ocean narwhal]

well the annoying thing is that the device has a hard wired cable, yeah i can just extend it but it'd be really nice to just have a little block thats usb a/c -> ethernet with no cables
i dont think it exists tho

[molten drift]

Mounted maybe 6 inches off the ceiling

[hearty spear]

so it's still well over 10' up. Plenty of room!

[molten drift]

I have literally 2 hooks, a white board , 2 10 inch shelves and a movie poster in a frame on the wall I think I'm ok for things to dust.

The movie poster is the Japanese original poster for die-hard.

[tardy terrace]

That's awesome

I was wanting to get a bunch of displates but after getting 2 as a gift the magnet-mounting solution that's included is uh.. Pretty trash

neodymium or bust, nerds

[molten drift]

I mean I have a 45% humidity in my room year round... So I didn't want to run the risk of displate quality and then it rusting

[tardy terrace]

w/ a window open 24/7 I haven't had any rusting on my 2

I've even got a scratch in one. no rust

If you're coastal I'd 100% expect rusting, but I also think with some of their stuff it'd be a huge character boost

most of the world's population lives on or near the coast lol

[molten drift]

Tkitch knows my approximate area... They also didn't give my area... Given that a lot of stuff is coastal in the us...

[cosmic ore]

over 1/3 of earth's population lives within 60 miles of a coast

[hearty spear]

I'm also not rude enough to out someone's city or anything, unless they do so.

Like: I live near Boston. Along with ~10 million other people or something. It's not exactly narrowing shit down.

You're right, I'm sorry. I took this a bit far with calling you out and in the manner I did @hearty spear .

[hearty spear]

Metro orlando is probably a lot bigger than 300k

[polar fern]

“Near Boston”

[molten drift]

Orlando is a bit far
.. plus theres only 3 things in Florida I wanna do.

[cosmic ore]

tbh I just googled "population of orlando"

[tardy terrace]

Past events have made me very skeptical about things like this, and I applied it too heavily w/ this situation.

[cosmic ore]

yeah, metro area of Orlando is 2 mil

[molten drift]

Freedom factory, AEW, and public displays of confection.

[hearty spear]

Yeah, most cities have a much smaller population than the metro area. IE: Boston's pop is like 10% of the metro or something? It's tiny.

[molten drift]

I really wanna go to the freedom factory

[slow fern]

I couldn’t even imagine getting a 2080ti and now its cheaper than a 3060

[hearty spear]

I appreciate the response. It did seem a bit much, but I get where it was coming from.

[molten drift]

Cleetus McFarland's race track

[tardy terrace]

I've learned that most stubbornness just leads to more damage in the end. If you're unable to admit when you're wrong or accept someone else's viewpoint, it's harder for everyone to share knowledge.

[hearty spear]

my old commute was a bit under 7 miles and took me to the middle of south boston.
(It was also 35-45 minutes each way.)

My new commute is reversed, and is 40 miles. And it takes 45-50 minutes each way. LOL

[polar fern]

I’m near Philadelphia.

bye near, I mean a several minute walk.

[molten drift]

Transit.

This is the freedom factory

[lucid echo]

Nearly all the silly arguments in pub chat stem from someone being kind of wrong about something, then moving the goalposts/using uber-specific word definitions so they can still feel right about the sliver of info they got accurate.

[molten drift]

I am tempted to go to the danger ranger event in October.

[tardy terrace]

[molten drift]

A oval track race in Ford rangers.

[polar fern]

It’s actually really funny, there’s so many people who say they’re “from Philly”, but actually they’re not. Also a lot of people who live in the city refuse to go outside of the city for social stuff. It is quite odd.

[cosmic ore]

you are wrong. I will not elaborate.

(did I do it right?)

[polar fern]

GG

[gilded quest]

Lmao get warshipped

[polar fern]

I actually do that all the time, but it’s only because I don’t feel like taking the time and energy to teach people stuff that I have learned on my own time.

[lucid echo]

I feel like that's the case for a lot of cities. Folks who live 30-45mins away in the suburbs will just say the city name instead of whatever town they're actually from, since everyone's heard of one and not the other

[polar fern]

Yep

[cosmic ore]

[data expunged - motherly vulgarity]

[lucid echo]

I kinda want to make this my server bio

[polar fern]

And it’s also kind of interesting because frequently the town is more recognisable than the city, because the city is a daunting thing for a lot of people

[hearty spear]

@molten drift what do you think about the possible WWE / UFC Merger?

[polar fern]

Like if you say, you live in West Orange New Jersey, people are going to know exactly where you live. If you say you live in Newark, which is a much larger municipal entity, people are gonna be like “oh Newark.”

[molten drift]

I mean didn't expect them of all people to merge with. But it makes sense. I don't like Vince doing the Walt Disney look and dying his eyebrows

[modest basalt]

hello beautiful ppls

[polar fern]

I’m not beautiful, but hello

[modest basalt]

how are you guys?

[hearty spear]

the beautiful people, the beautiful people

[molten drift]

Hungry

[molten drift]

Break out the eyeliner we have a Marilyn Manson reference!

[hearty spear]

it strikes me as odd, given that WWE is scripted storytime, and UFC is very much the opposite

[polar fern]

I just had croissant rolls with whipped cream cheese and strawberry preserves for lunch

[lucid echo]

Eh, idk. Depends I think.
If I say "I'm from Decatur, GA" most of the country isn't gonna realize it's like two miles from Atlanta
Personally I've never heard of West Orange

[molten drift]

I'm... Probably not eating for like 3-4 more hours. .

[polar fern]

West Orange is where Thomas Edison had his house and his primary lab and the first movie film set and studio

[molten drift]

I have a same thing sanic but mostly cause people have heard of mostly 3 towns in my state , Boston, Plymouth , Worcester.

[polar fern]

Worcester mass! 🤣

[hearty spear]

If they're near college age, they've probably heard of Amherst!

[molten drift]

If your lucky they know of cochituate and cape cod , province town, ....

[lucid echo]

TIL
I think Decatur is only notable for flipping GA blue in the 2020 race

[hearty spear]

cuz that party school has a rep!

[lucid echo]

So if you followed that closely, you prob know about it

[polar fern]

Back in February, we went up to Amherst

[hearty spear]

they have a BITCHIN wing bar near the school

[molten drift]

Also my favorite three towns in the state, Satan's kingdom, orange, and middleboro

[hearty spear]

One of my tops would be: Belchertown

[polar fern]

They have that barbecue place in Hadley off route 9

[molten drift]

I dunno Satan's kingdom Massachusetts is where I wanna move but they don't have Comcast only charter for internet.

As ironic as that is

[hearty spear]

in my city we actually have 2 cable vendors! 0.o

[polar fern]

Wildwood smokehouse

It’s like right next to a motel

[hearty spear]

bbq is good. But I probably won't remember it next time I'm out that way. (I don't get there often, it's like 2 hours away)

[polar fern]

Back in February we stayed at a tiny bed and breakfast to minimise Covid risk. The motel was fine tho before the pandemic.

[carmine helm]

i resolved my problem in a apple discord server and they banned me for not responding to a message quick enough lol

i guess admin gets mad so they can just ban me for any reason they want

[polar fern]

Yep, that’s how it is sometimes

You really can’t take it personally

[carmine helm]

never use r/macbookpro discord server

[polar fern]

Sounds cringe

I’m glad you escaped…

@hearty spear

[tardy terrace]

Now I'm just hungry for seafood.

[hearty spear]

nom

[tardy terrace]

give me a fat albacore steak and slather it in teriyaki

[polar fern]

Everything there was properly made and extremely delicious

The kitchen was super sanitary. They had a bunch of outdoor seating as well.

[hearty spear]

Y'all... What is wrong with food in the UK?

[tardy terrace]

Yachats location- best food ever
https://www.lunaseafishhouse.com/menu/

[polar fern]

Well, they do have a gas shortage, so I guess that’s one solution

[hearty spear]

diabeetus?

[molten drift]

Personally..I'm getting a bunch of CFA tonight.. thankfully it's enough for a few meals for me.

[polar fern]

Cfa?

Like from a farm co-op?

The one time we did that we had enough food to last us a week, but the food would spoil before that, so we actually had more like three days worth of food

Apparently bovine flu is a thing.

[molten drift]

No like chicfila

[polar fern]

Oh, I stopped eating there since the revelation

[molten drift]

I'm getting 6 sandwiches and a fry and cheese sauce.

And getting mom her order

So that's ,3 meals for me lol

[tardy terrace]

I had a monte cristo the other day and it was by far the greasiest thing I have ever had

But goddamn was it ever good

[molten drift]

You sir/madame have not had a fastfood pizza

[polar fern]

This is a Wendy’s

[molten drift]

It's where you take a large extra cheese pizza and put fries, onion rings a mc chicken a double cheeseburger , popcorn chicken and a crunch wrap supreme on a pizza.

[polar fern]

Onions on pizza is op

[molten drift]

https://youtu.be/lz2SxGNy-Mw

[lucid echo]

Whatever happened to the pizza at McDonalds

[mild otter]

The UK still eats like the Germans are flying overhead

[hearty spear]

but, like, diabeetus

[mild otter]

I should have clicked the article

[carmine helm]

i wonder why companies make 16x pcie slots that are actually 4x or 1x

[mild otter]

I regret not doing so and also regret doing so

[shut violet]

Damn I’m hungry now

[lucid echo]

Limited lane availability on the CPU, they don't really have a choice

They could add the pins, but they wouldn't do anything

[carmine helm]

why dont they just make it a 4x slot

instead of looking like a 16x

[lucid echo]

Sometimes you wanna add a 16x-sized card (like a second GPU or capture card) but are okay with it running at 8x or 4x

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

[carmine helm]

i am using crossfire rn

[hearty spear]

because it's cheaper to just slap one part on the board vs 3

[carmine helm]

i wonder how much cheaper

motherboard desingers removing any feature that costs ¢1 and isnt required🔨 😎

[unreal dome]

https://tenor.com/view/claps-wow-gif-21545427

[lucid echo]

It's better that they have the full 16 sized slot, makes the slot (physically) compatible with way more devices

[lean steeple]

My school chrome book has a Intel holographic back on the sticker

[summer folio]

Lame, click bait LTT.
Not actual North Pole

[weary jackal]

🤔 wonder what happened to the r/google discord server
the original server got locked down and the vanity url now points to a super sketchy server

[summer folio]

Ping me when AM5 mötherboards at 50$

[slow fern]

I just got the ultimate bottleneck pc 😎

R3 3200G + 2080ti

[rapid stone]

🤣

[lean solstice]

I talked about the family sharing in steam

[rapid stone]

Sounds like bottleneck

[lean solstice]

i found a way to trick steam

[polar fern]

🤔 https://a.co/d/bPNkFdM

[full fossil]

Man I had a 2200G and that thing bottlenecked an rx580 4GB

[snow lily]

I know the 7800x3d is just released, but this seems extreme, best buy, sold out of course, was like half this price

[slow fern]

I turned on rtx and the Cpu is at 98% usage 😎 and the games not even loading

[polar fern]

@snow lily seller?

you can’t just look at the prices, you have to see who’s actually selling it too

[snow lily]

AMD store on Amazon

[polar fern]

And their ratings etc

Not unusual for a company to charge slightly more than MSRP

[snow lily]

Bestbuy is sold out but they showed it at like 449

[polar fern]

It doesn’t matter what the price is if it’s sold out

What about CDW?

[snow lily]

True, I can't even buy it rn, or have a mobo yet, but I'm just looking and pricing

Cdw?

[full fossil]

It’s day 1
This always happens for flagship performance

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

[snow lily]

Yeah I'm expecting everyone to be sold out already

[polar fern]

Some best buy locations do have stock

[last solstice]

Omg guys big brain idea

What if amd puts the 3dvcache between and on top of both ccds

[polar fern]

Can’t

[last solstice]

So you put the ccds next to each other and you shove the v cahce on top

[polar fern]

It is on top

Hence 3D…

[last solstice]

Yea but its only on top of 1

What im saying is to put on top of both but sorta like a bridge between ccds

[polar fern]

And cost 2x more? No wai mang

[last solstice]

Ok but the 7950x3d already costs alot

Its a high end cpu for the enthusiasts so why not go balls to the walls

Would they be able to use this bridge as an interconnect to ? This wont benefit the cpu much prolly but maybe gpu

I love compooters this is so fun

[full fossil]

If only there was a name and product like this! It could have tons of threads, it’d rip!

[last solstice]

THREAD RIPPERFRFR

[full fossil]

But amd would never

anyone else losing interest in high end hardware?

Yes

I’m honestly glad lmg moved away from so many high end builds because it’s the same shit every time

[tardy terrace]

Me, tbh. I wanna see more mid-range/prosumer platforms with extra neat features

[lucid echo]

It says AMD Store under the title, but that's not actually who's selling it

[full fossil]

I like the jank builds and recent stuff like laser cutting a table

[lucid echo]

Third-party reselling it for a hefty bonus

[snow lily]

Oh I should have scrolled 😂

[slow fern]

You can donate all your high end stuff to me and ill donate my low end stuff to you

[lucid echo]

https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A2P6M2C4Y29Y70&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER
They are ONLY selling that cpu lmao

[slow fern]

Good deal

[fluid ridge]

we need an #ai channel

[lucid echo]

Wasnt there a crypto channel at some point?

[fluid ridge]

yep

[lucid echo]

I vaguely remember muting it long ago

[fluid ridge]

i think its folding now

[dusty rune]

isnt folding a different thing

i got no idea what folding is

[vapid smelt]

a dedicated channel for scamming people

[lucid echo]

Not surprised it's

[fluid ridge]

idk, i just want ai prompts bruh

[molten drift]

A. To have some fun

[uncut axle]
