Time to write an essay I guess

On tumblr

I got to choose the subject

[wary summit]

I run 6600XT on a 450

[stray apex]

Yeah, a lot of people overestimate what kind of PSU they need

[vapid smelt]

but thankfully you can use a psu for 8+ years

[wispy marsh]

Some PSUs have really bad OCP triggers

My unit (i believe) and some seasonic units trip OCP whenever the PCIE lanes draw power. They had to modify the cable to disconnect or remove the 12v sense pin

[fluid ridge]

probably longer honestly

most PSUs ive seen have warranties a decade or longer, and assuming manufacturers time their warranties just until things typically start failing/breaking (unless you have a lifetime warranty policy) you have 10-12 years

[vapid smelt]

id say the average psu warranty is 8 hence my 8+

[waxen pier]

Are retro consoles still popular today?

[stoic beacon]

Popular? No. They do have a cult following though. Even most of those people either emulate or play via services like virtual console or Nintendo switch online.

[gilded quest]

I'd say emulators are more popular than retro hardware

[proven valley]

50 for a gtx 1070

id say i got a deal

[tender geyser]

That’s a great deal

[proven valley]

better than my built in graphics

[vapid smelt]

should have bought a 4090

[proven valley]

wouldn't be able to get one even if i had the money

[idle skiff]

what are the downsides to graduating in the fall as opposed to spring

[lost kite]

Guys

Can u help me choose my build?
I9
Or
R9 7900
Or
R97950
Right now no gpu later i wanna add a 4070 so what psu is recommended?

[vapid smelt]

graduating from what

[vapid smelt]

build for what

[lost kite]

I want to build a gaming pc but I think ill buy a gpu later i need it for ms office , renders maybe but not until i buy my gpu

[idle skiff]

university, I already work in now-parttime jobs that i will, at essentially any time in the year, have some form of internal opportunity to climb the career ladder

[full fossil]

so many questions OwO

[vapid smelt]

whats your credit card number?

[idle skiff]

CS is my second major, so i'm already in uni for the long haul lol

[full fossil]

idk xD

[idle skiff]

long-er haul. extra 2 - 2.5 years

[thorny axle]

Does your first major hardly have any classes to go along?

[idle skiff]

the one course i need left for that major isnt offered next semester, and CS has so many prerequisites that you basically have to take the classes in order

[vapid smelt]

so wouldn't a stronger GPU be more usefull?

[idle skiff]

so either i take a semester with 6 classes, or take a summer course, or i can comfortably accept a Fall graduation in 2.5 years

[lost kite]

Later imma buy a 4070 ti

Or 4080 or 4070

[thorny axle]

I mean, depending on the credit count, 6 can definitely be manageable

[vapid smelt]

whats your budget and what country are you in

[lost kite]

Rn around 1 lakh inr or 100000 inr and i live in india

I can probably buy smth small abroad when i travel

[thorn hazel]

Graduating in the fall will probably be harder to find a job as it's near year end. Only positive is if there is a place hiring at that time they really need a worker.

electric cars need a paradigm shift - rather than waiting half an hour to 2 hours waiting for your car to charge at a pole in the middle of nowhere, retrofit and create new cars with easily swappable batteries and create the infrastructure that is required to accommodate it - standardize battery types for easy drive in, swap, drive out

Man, Intel arc would be so much better if they were just like
A year ahead on schedule

[wind pulsar]

Eh, Intel Arc is fine for a first generation product

It's been said a trillion times that the generation you want to be excited for is Battlemage, not Alchemist

[vapid smelt]

imagine if ARC didnt have any drivers issues at launch

No, it's just

what is up with these naming conventions man, nvidia names their generations after notable people like lovelace and hopper, intel really just pulling out dota classes

They're wizards or wizard-adjacent

Alchemist, battlemage, celestial, druid

[fluid ridge]

no wonder they aren't doing very well

[golden talon]

i think nvidia arch names are pretty cool

[stray apex]

Celestial is a bit of a stretch

[fluid ridge]

Quest 2 is 650$ in Sweden

the pico 4 is full 100 bucks cheaper

and superior technologically

[neon mesa]

without controller is below 300

the 256 is upwards of 500

the pico 4 is a no brainer

better and cheaper like

hopefully i can get the pico 4 in a month

3080ti for the price of a 4070? where?

[sturdy dune]

ebay

pny rtx 3080ti for 630$

[neon mesa]

used is just not comparable

find me a new one then we talk

[sturdy dune]

who cares about used or new

my card was probably a mining card. it works completely fine

[neon mesa]

they're just not comparable

[sturdy dune]

why not

[neon mesa]

because they're different thing

[sturdy dune]

[vapid smelt]

rx 6950xt is $609 new

[sturdy dune]

isnt that way better than a 4070

[vapid smelt]

yup

[sturdy dune]

how does it compare to a 3080ti?

[vapid smelt]

in non RT its better

[sturdy dune]

id hope the 3080ti wins in RT lol

but damn thats crazy

but honestly the margin between 3080ti and 3090ti isnt even that high

[elfin jetty]

eh I'm at 1080p so the 3080ti would be epic for RT

[sturdy dune]

still happy with my purchase tbh. although i didnt think anything touched 3080+ until like 7900xt

They're like $400 in the US iirc

[summer folio]

Well then, why would anyone buy any other card?

[stray apex]

Because amd struggles

Their cards are apparently kind of rough for content creators, which is really not ideal in this influencer-driven market

[summer folio]

Rough? How so?

[stray apex]

They tend to have more driver issues (especially on launch), they get generally worse software support especially in non-gaming

They're great for just gaming, but people who only play video games are probably not the people who are going to give you influencer marketing

https://youtu.be/BtZXb5UpqGo
Obviously anecdotal, but y'know
People are by and large not switching to amd for workstations anyways so

Like, people will say "but Linus is switching to amd"
Yeah, lemme know when they run Radeon in their editing stations

Also, fine wine is
Literally just not having good drivers on launch

On the bright side, Intel has some really promising hardware encoders in arc so maybe they'll get picked up by streamers for stream PCs or something

Is it fine to use those decorative bulbs (glass bulbs) on regular ceiling lamps? Was thinking about replacing my bulbs with 6500K ones and there's plastic and glass bulbs

Was thinking about having everything match the D65 white spot

So, Nvidia leaves malware introducing AMD-specific bugs on the PC when you switch teams? Seems reasonable.

hi guys

i am building a project, I call it "Project Photron";
Its going to be a platform for developers where they can build projects together, learn to code, show case there projects and etc..

but i wont be able to build it alone I ll need help of experts like you guys, I am still learning to code and I faced a lot of problems, I want to make the next gen of coders learn faster and easily,

Any one intrested can DM me any time

[frozen tapir]

why did LLT mc shut down

[gilded plinth]

sounds like Github

[dusty rune]

that sounds exactly like github

[thick agate]

Yeah github exist

[crystal vigil]

yeah its a merger of github and discord and also free or paid learning websites like- great learning, Free Code Camp, Coder's Camp and many more

you can also check out the info page that is out there

projectphotron.my.canva.site ,

[manic torrent]

maybe if you're poor

[crystal vigil]

i made it using canva tempreralily

[manic torrent]

I mean, good luck to you, and dream big, but... I can't see it working

[crystal vigil]

np

[manic torrent]

if you're spruiking it in public chat on ltt as 'darkknight27'

[crystal vigil]

if you know anyone that an help i would love it

[manic torrent]

have you had any previous involvement in websites, open source, collaborative development, online learning, infrastructure, etc?

[glass lantern]

Was anyone actually still subbed to Netflix anyway? Like for new shows except the odd exception once in a while they are kinda s*** after everybody created their own steaming sites... then over saturated the market so they are all finding it hard to actually make a profit.

[manic torrent]

oh, and do you have any ... money. or backing.

[glass lantern]

Thier response "Waaa everyone can't afford to have 10 different subscriptions going perpetually?!?!?!"

[manic torrent]

oh, don't disagree. It's very frustrating. Kung fu panda is now down to a ... netflix developed series about KFP, a bunch of extras, and ... none of the movies

[crystal vigil]

is that to me?

[manic torrent]

yeah

[crystal vigil]

um not yet but i ll get some few

[manic torrent]

because it seems like you have a dream, and a back of the envelope drawing of it

which is not nothing... but it's also not much

[crystal vigil]

if you can help i would appreciate it

[manic torrent]

what you're asking people to do is invest their limited resources and time into your project

[crystal vigil]

I have to build a team

[crystal vigil]

not my, our( if you join)

[manic torrent]

If you want me to invest in that, It's not going to be on LTT discord to a dude called darkknight27

I'm happy to offer you advice, but I do not have the time or spoons to get involved in a project like that.

[crystal vigil]

sure even that could be really helpful

[manic torrent]

especially when there doesn't seem to be a big differentiator vs what exists in the market already

[glass lantern]

reminds me of when everyone was trying to make a WoW alternative and it was like, well obviously that wasn't going to work because WoW is a massive time sink and most of the player base at the time were like 12 - 19 meaning they could barely afford WoW in the first place. obviously there is only going to be 1 or 2 winners.

Or online open world games with heavy handed microtransactions just a few years ago.,

[crystal vigil]

[summer folio]

It's all about LTT Roblox now.

[frozen tapir]

[glass lantern]

Still haven't learned their lesson on the Online open world games and are surprised how profitable a good single player game whenever they launch one.

[dusty rune]

darkknight, think about it like this
people arent gonna spend their precious time coding a website for free, when they can do it for a good paycheck

[glass lantern]

It's almost as if they made their success on those good single player games and that they are the safer bet rather than sinking in tonnes of money in online open world games... almost...

[manic torrent]

see now that is objectively incorrect.

[dusty rune]

ok there may be nice poeple

[manic torrent]

Can you code?

[dusty rune]

i can do 5th grade stuff in c++

[manic torrent]

ok, so no.

[frozen tapir]

absolutely, why would someone make your website and get no pay when they could do it themselves and if it is successful get some nice ad revenue

[manic torrent]

this is an even worse take

[dusty rune]

it still counts as coding

[manic torrent]

and none of you understand what infrastructure or costs or maintenance would be required

[wispy marsh]

How can it be fucking raining cats and dogs, and it's 29 degrees, and feels like the inside of a summer swamp?

I need that aircon posthaste!

[dusty rune]

didnt get to that part yet..

[glass lantern]

To be fair I don't think you need to put him down if he's trying to do someone good, just ignore it like I have been.

[manic torrent]

I'm not... I'm being realistic. It's also not 1998 anymore. The reality is to get even to an alpha release state if you want a website that complex is a huge amount of work, and the infrastructure and scaling required is significant (if anyone uses it of course)

[wispy marsh]

Bob, I need your advice. Do you know about heat control within a concrete apartment?

[manic torrent]

and even if it's open source, there needs to be a revenue model for services, as well as an ongoing plan

[manic torrent]

yeah, once it's hot, you're fucked 😄 you live in a giant heat sink

[wispy marsh]

That's exactly my room, I want to get the heat out of the room but people saying vents are bad etc.

You got any bright ideas except for vents with inline/pc fans?

[manic torrent]

This is why when we lived in an apartment, everyone had to leave on their HVAC

You think Amazon is ever going to f'ing crack down on these flash drive/SSD scams? They're so f'ing obvious yet Amazon seems to not give a flying f*ck and their sweet time

I swear, Amazon is actively trying to make their platform worse in so many ways... But they don't give a sh*t as long as money keeps flowing.

[near nymph]

Yes/No. If they look legit. They will let it slide cause it makes them money. No... Well if someone gives them concrete evidence that it's fake

It's a big game of cat and mouse. It's kinda bullshit

These companies also buy Amazon listings. Sometimes you see the reviews don't line up

[chrome vector]

It's really shit too, ignoring how they still haven't done anything about switching products on the page for review farming. There's plenty of people who leave a review not realizing the claimed storage capacity is spoofed, then their files get deleted

I literally absolutely refuse to by any flash drives or other storage that isn't being sold by the big companies like Sandisk or Samsung

[near nymph]

Heck... It's a common practice to let people buy shit and they PayPal you for the purchase

I've been offered free products for review and they PayPal me the cost of the product lol

[chrome vector]

These chinesium flash drives just aren't trustworthy, even if they are actually priced realistically.

[chrome vector]

yeah I have heard of that, but I've never had it happen

[near nymph]

I've been offered by a company that is big on Amazon. They don't need to buy reviews but they still offered me free shit

Heck AUKEY got booted off Amazon

[chrome vector]

It seems like a lot of tech companies are starting to turn a blind eye to scammers, either that or their safeguards aren't working as well as they used to (I think that depends on the company). Like look at Google, it's extremely common for the first two sponsored links to be literal scams. You search for software and the first two sponsored links are to a fake malware site.

[near nymph]

AUKEY literally make great products. THEY DIDNT NEED TO BUY REVIEWS.

[chrome vector]

damn really? and who's aukey?

[near nymph]

They were like Anker...

Making great charging products and stuff

[chrome vector]

And they got booted off of Amazon? Damn, I'll have to look that up later

[near nymph]

Hey I like free shit. If a company offers me free stuff for an honest review. Sure

But it's fucked

[long pewter]

Hello

[near nymph]

Sup

[long pewter]

How you doing?

[mild current]

That's not free

[chrome vector]

Yeah if I got something for free I'd review, but would definitely be honest about it. If people can't do that tech channels like LTT would be nonexistent. I really don't care about that so much as everything else on Amazon, like the blatant scam products and the switching the product on the page so it looks like it has good reviews.

[chrome vector]

Yeah, but it's in early access and I likely wouldn't buy it right now if I were you. Not just from the lack of content, but more because of the current performance issues. I bought it since I'm a hardcore fan, but it is definitely a wait and see game for anyone who isn't

Plus it came out on my birthday

[summer folio]

Oh, it's like AMD keeping the Radeon Brand then?

Since AMD bought ATI?

[amber cairn]

Not really since ATI got folded totally into AMD since it got acquired entirely while Sennheiser sold off Sennheiser Consumer Branch but kept Sennheiser Professional branch

they probably have some sort of royalty deal over the brand name, since that's probably what sonova wanted

I generated instructions with chatgpt on how to make a pipebomb OwO

[tired glade]

It's that like 3 months old?

[full fossil]

Nope freshly made today lol

[tired glade]

How they did it again?

[full fossil]

This will never rival the anarchist cookbook though

How well would this work for an HTPC? I have an xbox controller. Hmmmm

[full fossil]

Dan prompt, I did it

[tired glade]

Who cares about receipt,how they went though filters again?

[full fossil]

I'll dm you the prompt when I'm done working out

[tired glade]

Just bug report to OpenAi foundation

[glass lantern]

Anyway some politician was in a discussion about climate change and asked the panel what they thought the percentage of CO2 was.

And it's like seriously dude do you think that is a real argument against anthropogenic climate change, like I am going to make no value judgment here between whether you believe in climate change or not because this isn't the place, but it being a small amount of the atmosphere doesn't change anything, it would be like aguing a that a milligram of plutonium in your blood stream can't kill you because it's such a tiny percentage of your blood.

[tired glade]

This works around starting to annoy already

[tired glade]

It's not just co2

[full fossil]

Lol you know how much fun I've had? It told how to enrich uranium

[tired glade]

And I see about 30+ years in prison too

[full fossil]

If the cops find pipe bomb and uranium enrichment guides on my computer I'm done 💀

Tbh the uranium enrichment isn't very detailed as there isn't that much info avalible online

It skips the gas centrifuge part and gives me a basic overview

[tired glade]

Oh238

Good luck with it

[steep vector]

C'mon, I wanted to screenshot that manufacturing process for later 😞

[full fossil]

I can ask it for more detail

I made a prompt that nukes the filters

[tired glade]

After classified document leak,all spy agencies are scanning discord

[steep vector]

Imagine someone asking ChatGBT for help on how to manufacture lowers for Glocks with a 3D printer

[tired glade]

Do talk something stupid in public servers

[glass lantern]

Methane as well, but methane breaks down into carbon dioxide in around 50 years so while it is bad it's not long long term bad... well apart from it melting the ice caps releasing monstrous amount of methane in the methane ice fields, and then decreasing the albedo of the Earth causing even more and long term warming, but...

[tired glade]

They already filtered it

[full fossil]

Heh no

[tired glade]

Nice block of text

[tired glade]

Good luck

[full fossil]

Give me a sec

[tired glade]

I won't, I will just report you

[full fossil]

I'm literally in the process of reporting this to chatgpt smh

I just wanted to show yall

A blanked version

The prompt I made basically tricks chatgpt into telling me because I used educational purposes as the justification

I literally told it to ignore all filters too

And that worked, I basically gas lit it

Very long prompt though

[eager venture]

Buy it

[full fossil]

You can't. It can't output files

[steep vector]

Ik, I was referring more to a text tutorial on how to use a 3D Printer to do such a deed

[full fossil]

I see

Well I can't provide you that due to me not wanting to go to jail

[steep vector]

And still, I'm just shitposting. By now the devs would have SMTH like that filtered out

[full fossil]

Any mention of glocks and the convo gets nuked

In chatgpt

[steep vector]

No shit, you aren't a DCS player 🤣

How does it "nuke a Convo"?

[tardy terrace]

oh fuck we talkin DCS??

[full fossil]

I did hehe I wish it's not trash

[full fossil]

Basically forgets the convo up until that point

[steep vector]

Nah, just mentioning the stereotype. This ain't #gaming 🤣

Huh... That's one way to do it

[tardy terrace]

Then you have your games mixed up, War Thunder is the community that keeps releasing classified documents

At DCS we just bitch & moan about how the devs don't go fast enough

[full fossil]

lmao cool community

some of them actually work for the military lol. imagine releasing classified shit just to win an argument in discord? lolll

[neon mesa]

oooh we talking dcs

where hornets at

[tardy terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/dcs-katronicle-gif-25130530

Dead behind me because they're always doin' stupid shit

[pliant leaf]

man i need to get a gaming headset

shit i meant handheld

are any of them actually worth DOUBLE the price of the deck

[eager venture]

Use it

Even if it’s trash

[pliant leaf]

especially the aya neo since it has the analog sticks in the wrong layout

[neon mesa]

i'll be getting pico 4 for DCS soon, hopefully

because using a paper marker racker is
ass to say the least

[finite cloud]

A lot of them have better performance than the steam deck but the steam deck is still better because it’s cheaper and from a good company

[pliant leaf]

ong, the rog ally will likely be gaming laptop price, aya neo has a disgusting controller layout and onexplayer looks sketchy as fuck

common gaben W i say

[finite cloud]

“We simply can’t make it any cheaper”

“Gave Newell did it for $400! With an AMD mobile!”

[pliant leaf]

though i was extremely intrigued that the onexplayer 2 managed to make fucking joycons, that looked kinda sick

[pliant leaf]

kekw

[finite cloud]

Turns out Nintendo was on to something with the Wii U gamepad

[pliant leaf]

i'll sit on it for a bit and decide when the rog ally comes out, if it's less than 1300 i might consider that instead of the deck

[finite cloud]

There’s not much to recommend over it which is interesting unless you go with Aya

[pliant leaf]

i should also probably test remote play now that i think about it

[finite cloud]

Steam Remote play? That works pretty well

[full fossil]

I did it
I got my gaming laptop to stop screaming every time it has a burst load

[gilded quest]

Idk and I don't care

[pliant leaf]

yeah well i'd have to see how well it works a continent away from my pc

[broken crown]

https://www.servethehome.com/breaking-intel-exiting-the-server-business-selling-to-mitac/ wat

[pliant leaf]

h u h

i'm pretty sure it just means they will stop selling premade rackmount servers to businesses, not that they won't make xeons anymore

[full fossil]

Reported to chatGPT in complete detail. From the convo start to end. I have tested and it is replicatable

R u happy now?

It was a DAN prompt. Does not count

[tacit falcon]

So im trying to get non-landline internet for me n my partner n so far Three seem to be decently priced (£24 for a unlimited data, Wifi Hub).... Does itsays dual-band, and wifi 6, Cat22 is that all poor, ok, good? Should we invest in some antennas too??? As it has 2 antenna ports

[young marten]

Conspiracy theory.... ya know when your pc suddenly starts acting up? You go to restart the pc and the update and restart button seems to be working perfectly?* it wasn't there 20 mins ago when the pc was fine but all of a sudden it shows up as you're pc seems to be lagging and freezing? The you update the pc and everything's suddenly fine... fake windows errors to force an update...

[full fossil]

I'd recommend going against three for a wifi hub as they have dog shit speed caps

Go with EE on their top-end plans as they have no speed caps and you can reach 160Mb/s

[tacit falcon]

Oh really? They said they don't cap speeds, or data limit is like 3tb of data a month...

[tacit falcon]

I'll have to check EEs coverage

[crystal willow]

How much are the speeds?

[full fossil]

I highly doubt that, I got 1Mb/s right next to a three cell tower

Full bars and everything

That was the day I switched

[simple ridge]

Um I was wondering, the high spec PC's that Linus sometimes builds for deserving people (other Youtubers etc) I was wondering how the selection process goes? also I know they wouldn't be able to make one but I was wondering what the spec would be if Linus were to build a PC for Digital Foundry's Richard ?

[tacit falcon]

Which speeds?

[heady flicker]

doesn't digital foundry already test computer parts

[crystal willow]

the internet speeds

Is it cell data?

[tacit falcon]

Fair do, my partners mum is on Three up in Helmsdale n even though it was 4g it was good enough for Netflix, YouTube etc

[nimble junco]

Question will this run cyberpunk 2077 at max? https://pcpartpicker.com/b/2TZZxr

[heady flicker]

yeah

[full fossil]

yeah

[nimble junco]

3090ti or 4080

[summer folio]

Everything I watch on YouTube, I now get on Facebooks reels.

[summer folio]

Nvm, I was on YouTube already.

They should add autoplay on YouTube shorts, so they doesn't repeat.

[full fossil]

I have a 4080. News flash: it doesnt run cyberpunk at max

It still gets whooped at tuned settings

[summer folio]

The eyes can only see 24 fps

[full fossil]

Optimize the settings. Dont go crazy

[tired glade]

4080 just for av1

[full fossil]

The 4080 is arguably the worst value gpu right now

And I actually like it.

[tired glade]

3090 ti not that far away

[summer folio]

or 3090ti + a secondary Intel GPU for AV1

[full fossil]

Just took the L with the price. Nvidia are greedy fkers

[tired glade]

Or 4080 for same price

[desert ivy]

I can run the Pathtracing settings with a 4070ti 3440x1440 at 50-60fps everything in high DLSS3 in Quality

[tired glade]

Or 7900xtx

[full fossil]

+1 4080

[tired glade]

RT is hard

[full fossil]

$100 premium is worth it imo

[desert ivy]

Yeah, but to me it's worth it. It literally blew me away

[summer folio]

& normal light effects looks just as good.

[tired glade]

Isn't it from 200 to 300?

[full fossil]

I was in the market like you a few months ago. Had a million chances to buy an XTX. Still went for the 4080

[dusty rune]

questionable

[full fossil]

No. $100 difference. My 4080 is $1150

200-300 just get the XTX

[tired glade]

Oh,us

[full fossil]

Not worth it lol. 300 is too much

Thats almost price difference between a 4080 and 4090

Just get the xtx if 200-300 cheaper

The 7900 xtx is going for around £1,085 in the uk whilst the 4080 is going for around £1300. If you can afford a 4080 you can afford a 4090

[summer folio]

AMD for games,
Nvidia for Blender.

[dusty rune]

amd for games
nvidia for anything else

[full fossil]

gonn

[full fossil]

That is not worth it lol. +1 xtx

[tired glade]

If you use it

[simple ridge]

yeah, well only the odd GPU's really, but I just wondered what Linus would build for them if he had the chance to

[full fossil]

I’m actually a hardware nerd and loves spending hours and hours on my computer. Nvidia drivers for me. It’s stable and comfortable

I don't want to get a desktop because I have a laptop but I have to because I need gpu compute

[full fossil]

I have both. It’s great having both

[tired glade]

Rent GPU

[full fossil]

Portability is important to me. Only 13-14” laptops

[full fossil]

I can't really afford to

[desert ivy]

The XT/XTX is good but without DLSS3 and not so good Ray Tracing performance, is not the best for all kind of games

[dusty rune]

desktop + that one app to remote into your pc

[full fossil]

g14 2021. 2 years old. Ryzen 9 5900HS RTX 3060m(flashed to 95w vbios)

Might get a mac next time. Ima think about it

[full fossil]

WHY

[tired glade]

Fsr

[full fossil]

Coworkers get 20 hour battery on their laptops. I kinda want that

[drowsy sable]

BRO I HAVE THE SAME LAPTOP

[dusty rune]

nah whats ur problem with macs

[drowsy sable]

EXACTLY 2 YEARS OLD TOO

[full fossil]

RESPECT BRO! Our laptop is fire

[dusty rune]

macs are great at that

[full fossil]

reddit told them it's bad

[dusty rune]

you gonna wait for m3? or go m2/m1

[full fossil]

Get any thin and light windows laptop and you'll get better

[desert ivy]

Frame Generation. I suppose.

[drowsy sable]

FRRRR

[dusty rune]

nope

[full fossil]

That’s what I have rihht now lmao

[full fossil]

Me when I spread lies on the internet

[full fossil]

You have a gaming laptop lol

[dusty rune]

macs are unmatched at battery life

[tired glade]

If game not bugging out with it

[full fossil]

It’s a 14” ROG zephyrus g14 lmao

[full fossil]

YES A GAMING LAPTOP

It does 10 hours on igpu

[full fossil]

that's a gaming laptop dawg

[dusty rune]

stop spreading misinformation about macs

[full fossil]

Hello you can turn off the gpu? Smh

[dusty rune]

the nerve of some people

[full fossil]

in any case that m series macs are class leading in battery life

[dusty rune]

u didnt respond jhustine :(

[full fossil]

10 hours is the best you can get with a windows laptop

[full fossil]

I want a 16" laptop right? If I went mac that would cost £2,650 which is mad

I'm sure there's some stupid thick laptop with an intel atom chip out there with 40 days of battery life but lol

[full fossil]

Oh man i missed it got mad lol. Might get the one with 120hz base model

[drowsy sable]

10 hours is a dream, more like 6

[dusty rune]

ok, but, that doesnt mean the battery life is bad

[full fossil]

Yep. Macs are a different beast in battery. Dont get me wrong. Love my g14. Want to learn how to flash a custom vbios?

[full fossil]

ok then don't get one?
Isn't that crazy?

[full fossil]

My thinkpad with bios mods sips hardly any power running gentoo and lasts 18h

[desert ivy]

So you can't afford the best laptops with the best features.

[full fossil]

My g14 has a 95w vbios. Free performance man

[drowsy sable]

18 HOURS!?!

[dusty rune]

and hows the performance?

[full fossil]

Wanna learn how? @drowsy sable

[drowsy sable]

sure

[full fossil]

Lemme find my reddit post real quick. Do you have the 3060 g14?

[drowsy sable]

yes

[full fossil]

Free performance man. 95w gives a nice bump.

[drowsy sable]

i need it

[dusty rune]

so you basically used tons of workarounds to make your power draw as small as possible, just to still be worse than a mac at stock

[full fossil]

Pretty good 200mb ram usage and 1% cpu usage at idle

[full fossil]

Perfect! Gimme one sec

[dusty rune]

how does that indicate performance?

[desert ivy]

[full fossil]

Cause all I use my laptop for is programing and surf the web. Maybe a chrome compile test would be better?

I used the M15 bios

[dusty rune]

thats the point i was getting at, but the response i got was "200mb of ram and 1% cpu usage at idle"

[full fossil]

Love my G14 it’s been an awesome companion for 2 years. The ryzen 9 5900HS still impresses me 2 years later

yeah I'm not sure what low ram usage has to do with anything

How is it so fast at 20w? Lol

[dusty rune]

especially after stating that he uses bios mods and gentoo...

[full fossil]

8 core 16 thread on a 14” thin and light is still impressive to me

And i actually get great battery with the igpu
