You are being really stupid, and he has been clear enough that what he is saying is that the 13900K is faster for productivity than the 7950X3D and removing cores won’t do anything to help that. And since the 13900K is extremely fast for gaming already, it’s a better choice if you need productivity and gaming performance.

I believe I have made myself clear

• The Glass Man

[fossil frost]

if its a gift, i would say, buy the regular switch, not the switch lite... since it offers them more options

[glacial sand]

the best cpu for gaming is 7.8kx3d no?

[crystal ocean]

i thinkthats what imma do then buy them games thanks man

how am i acting stupid im curious now

[full fossil]

The 7800x3d is the best for gaming not the knockoff 7.8kx3d

[thorny axle]

I was using you as an extremely random example to make it clear that I was talking about him

[glacial sand]

its cheaper than the other cpus, more electricity efficient and better in general

[crystal ocean]

oh ok

[fossil frost]

between the regular screen version and the OLED screen version... there is a difference, but i dont think the OLED difference is worth the extra money over what you get in the regular switch, only get the OLED version of the full size switch if you cannot buy the regular full size switch

[glacial sand]

why is anthony young always online does he leave his pc on at all times or do we have the same timezones because i have never once seen him offline

[crystal ocean]

i mean they are 12 they just wanna have fun so imme get them the normal one plus oled for that seems like a scam to me lollll

[summer folio]

what cpu?

WAITING FOR WAN SHOW AS A BRIT

[vapid smelt]

https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/nintendo-switch-lite-gray-refurbished/ could buy a cheap refurbished lite

[thorny axle]

The 7800X3D is faster and cheaper than the 7950X3D for gaming.
The 13900K is faster and cheaper than the 7950X3D for productivity, and is also very good for gaming.

If you only want gaming performance, no point investing more in the 13900K for productivity performance.
If you want gaming and productivity performance, the 13900K has the best productivity performance and still performs very well for gaming.

[full fossil]

2am wan show to 7am

[fossil frost]

we have 2 full sized ones and 2 lite's in my house for 3 kids (bought at different times for various reasons)... 1 of the lite's has been in a draw for a year, the other one, i use... the 2 full fat ones, one is in the livingroom on the main tv, and the other is in my youngest's bedroom, they love to play switch sports, golf, mario kart, spongebob karting, various multi player games.. in the livingroom

[bold salmon]

yo why is apple.com closed

[thorny axle]

Because the servers are turned off

[crystal ocean]

im not saying this to like brag or anything but i dont mind getting them both the one that goes on the tv they have their on rooms and stuff and plus i gotta be the favorite to this kids who are 10 years younger lol but thank you

[glacial sand]

what is productivity im new to tech stuff, like is it like for blender stuff or something else

[thorny axle]

Generally, it’s performance outside of gaming

[glacial sand]

oh

[full fossil]

It's fine for me

[glacial sand]

why would you need higher performance outside of gaming 7,800 is already good at productivity and better than the intel cpu for gaming

[vapid smelt]

Why are you researching dual gpus

[full fossil]

Server

This is a hackintosh btw

not the server

but my main computer

[thorny axle]

If you get above 200fps, there’s really no point in extra gaming performance, perhaps lower than that if you don’t have a 240hz monitor. Meanwhile, better productivity performance can always save you time

[sonic barn]

I have a serious question, does anyone know the game SOMA?

[glacial sand]

oh yeah i need a monitor, do you have any reccomendations?

my pc specs are these :ryzen 7,800x3d, rtx 4090 24gb, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, 2tb ssd m2+2tb hdd, liquid cooler 360
1250watt atx 3.0, mb x670 asus case lian li, i need a monitor thats best for gaming and decent at other stuff like streaming movies. i want a monitor that has oled on it and is the best for gaming.

[thorny axle]

Samsung Neo G8

lol

[glacial sand]

240 hz though

[thorny axle]

4k 240hz

And mini-LED

[glacial sand]

i play competitive fps games though wouldnt having 360 hz be better

[thorny axle]

If you’re ok with 1080p

[glacial sand]

whats the difference between miniled and oled

[thorny axle]

Also, unless you’re seriously a professional competitive player, 240-360 will make no difference

[glacial sand]

there arent any 1440p 360 hz monitors?

[thorny axle]

Mini-LED technically has some glare around white objects on black backgrounds, but get brighter than an OLED and doesn’t suffer from burn-in

[glacial sand]

professional chess gms im sure that 360 hz will make a big difference!! (im joking)

[thorny axle]

lol

[glacial sand]

i heard there is one that combines both

like it was something led i dont remember

[thorny axle]

Maybe micro-LED?

[glacial sand]

yea that one

[thorny axle]

I’m not sure too much on the difference

[full fossil]

Guys, I need desk suggestions. I just changed to a triple monitor mount and all that weight focused onto one point is actually making my particle board desk break on the clamp point

[glacial sand]

alright i will make sure to cop that one, its 100% 4k right?

[thorny axle]

Either way, that monitor might not be reasonable

[full fossil]

Looking for 72 inches. Motorized would be cool but don't really need it. Just need something that can support three monitors focused onto one point

[thorny axle]

It’s not very likely that you can run any game at 4k 240hz anyway

Even with that 4090. Maybe CS-GO?

[glacial sand]

damn

what do i change about my pc parts so i can run most games at 4k

[thorny axle]

I mean, you have the best

[glacial sand]

like is there any improvements that was the best setup i could find

[eager venture]

What’s the list

[stray apex]

yeah, replace the hdd with a biggger ssd

[thorny axle]

I mean… maybe 13900KS is marginally faster if you have insane cooling, but that’s the best GPU you can get

@stray apex what do you think his machine can run at 4k240

[sage steeple]

hey do crts normally make a high pitched noise

[stray apex]

I dunno, but if a 7800x3d+4090 can't run it at 4k240 nothing can

[glacial sand]

ryzen 7,800x3d, rtx 4090 24gb, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, 2tb ssd m2+2tb hdd, liquid cooler 360
1250watt atx 3.0, mb x670 asus case lian li, i need a monitor thats best for gaming and decent at other stuff like streaming movies. i want a monitor that has oled on it and is the best for gaming.

[sage steeple]

anyways mines extra loud and extra not high pitched but its there lol

[thorny axle]

^

[eager venture]

Ya that’s prob the best stuff u can have in a pc

[glacial sand]

i removed the ssd btw its only hdd 2tb

there isnt any need for 2 extra tb of storage

[thorny axle]

Just get a 2 TB m.2 SSD

[stray apex]

that's shit

[thorny axle]

the SSD is probably the most noticeable thing in a setup

[glacial sand]

i got a 2tb hdd instead i heard hdd is more important

[stray apex]

2tb hdd only will turn a 7800x3d+4090 into
something that's very slow and annoying to use

[thorny axle]

Turns your 5 minute boot time into a 5 second boot time

[thorny axle]

HDDs are hard disks, very slow and fairly unreliable as compared to SSDs

[stray apex]

hard drives suck and do not belong in quantities of less than several terrabytes, especially when your budget is so high

[glacial sand]

bruh who said to remove the sdd and only use the hdd

[thorny axle]

Sometimes 20-40x as slow as SSDs

[thorny axle]

Someone you should never speak to again

[sage steeple]

my hdd is making a beat

[glacial sand]

oh nvm they actually said to remove the hdd and keep the ssd

[sage steeple]

i also believe it may be dead

[thorny axle]

Ok, that’s more reasonable

Get something like a 990 pro

[glacial sand]

i have short term memory lol. anyway removing the 2tb hdd and only keeping 2tb sdd is not a bad thing right?

[thorny axle]

Or if you want to be reasonable, maybe a 970 evo

[stray apex]

you should have more storage

[glacial sand]

i dont think i would be able to use more than 2tbs of storage

[thorny axle]

I mean, it’s not like 2 TB is small. Though for his machine it is definitely underpowered

[sage steeple]

ah shit wait this is public chat i cant send the beats that my hdd is spitting

[stray apex]

it's not nothing, but it does fill up

[thorny axle]

Then again, no point adding another $100 for no good reason apart from “I want it”

[thorny axle]

Dms

[glacial sand]

cant i add another sdd part once my storage fills up

or like upgrade the storage?

[stray apex]

yes

but right now you can get cheap storage
and it might go up later this year

[thorny axle]

I mean

[vernal wind]

You on a different website to me

[thorny axle]

PCIE 5 is starting to see light, so PCIE 4 will start to go dark

[stray apex]

pcie 5 is gonna be expensive for a while

you can get basically the best gen 4 drives for like, $150/2tb

[glacial sand]

i can just wait for the pcie 5 to get cheaper then buy it no?

[thorny axle]

I think they’ll go lower

[stray apex]

if you really don't plan on using more than 1.5tb or so, sure

[thorny axle]

I mean, waiting for technology is like watching paint dry

In a place where paint dries very slowly

[glacial sand]

yea i dont really plan on using more than 2tb

[molten drift]

I don't even use .25tb

[thorny axle]

And where designs change constantly

There is always something new just around the corner

[glacial sand]

i have played gacha games where i have waited 3 years for a unit to get readded i think i can wait for it

[thorny axle]

By then there’ll probably be PCIE 6

[glacial sand]

lol i can just have fun till the pcie 5 gets cheaper then buy it for extra storage when im nearing filling up my storage

[little geode]

Given a choice between Windows 10 and Windows 11, what would y'all pick for a new PC?

[tulip panther]

Did someone say voice message in discord

[thorny axle]

I mean, the point is that there’s always something new right around the corner

[thorny axle]

11

[glacial sand]

the one that has a higher number obv

[stray apex]

11 has better window management stock

[thorny axle]

If you always wait for the next thing, you’ll wait forever

[stray apex]

which sounds weird but
you can split a vertical monitor into two windows way easier than 10

and it's so nice for my secondary display

[glacial sand]

anyway how long will this setup last do you guys think? rtx 4090 is cool and all but the 5000s series got leaked so idk it might get outdated in like 5 years

[stray apex]

it'll last until you want and can afford an upgrade

[thorny axle]

That could be 2 years, 10 years, really can’t be sure

[glacial sand]

i cant afford to get every single new better cpu/gpu that comes out

so i will stick with this setup for atleast 5 years

[little geode]

Nobody knows for sure. I for one went with AMD GPU instead of NVIDIA due to ridiculous prices, high power draw and the power connector being a fire hazard.

[glacial sand]

yea but im just saying estimated guesses

i dont want a top of the line pc that gets outdated in a year

[little geode]

If you are chasing the top of the line crown, it will be outdated in a couple of months tops. On the other hand, if you want to game at 1440p without ray tracing then it should last you a long time. That's of course assuming my crystal ball did not malfunction this time.

[spring socket]

PC hardware nowadays ages better than years ago lol

[stray apex]

I'm pretty sure 1080ti is still viable

[spring socket]

It is, but it's showing its age now

[full fossil]

rtx 4090 will be the new 1080ti in 6 years

[golden talon]

prolly not tbh

4090 will be viable for the next decade

if not longer

[full fossil]

yeah thats what im saying its gonna be like how the 1080ti was when 30 series launched

[golden talon]

4090 will age way better than how the 1080 ti aged though

we are very close to the limits of transistor node manufacturing

quantum tunneling means that nm process nodes cant go down much further than they are rn

[full fossil]

thats why 40 series is a good investment

[golden talon]

evolution of electronics will slow down inevitably

the 40 series isnt a good investment, only the 4090 is a good investment

the rest of the lineup is overpriced garbage

[full fossil]

performance per dollar isnt the best on the 4090 btw

[golden talon]

its way better than the 4080

[full fossil]

4080 is the worst priced

[golden talon]

generationally speaking it absolutely fucks the previous generation and even puts this generation to shame

$100 increase for 50% more performance is proper improvement, which the 4090 reflects

none of the other ada cards reflect this

like even the 4070, 20% more money for 20-25% more performance compared to 3070

[sick coyote]

Hi guys and girls, just signed up and waiting for WAN at silly oclock in the UK.

[summer folio]

I wish AI existed when I was in school, so all home work was replaced with 100% Examination in classroom tests for grades, to eliminate cheating.

[stray apex]

Yeah looking at performance graphs it's always fairly small bumps in performance
And then 4090 is just this massive performance gap

[summer folio]

RX 6600 is the best Card in Sweden I think. Most FPS/$.

[thorny axle]

It will

That’s how tech is

[thorny axle]

You don’t think the 1080ti is viable?

[golden talon]

its slowly being phased out

[thorny axle]

By your logic, we are close to the end of progress, so it should stay at about this level, and at worst maybe a bit lower

[golden talon]

sure, yes, it'll go from being a low tier card to a very low tier card over time

[thorny axle]

I wouldn’t consider it to be a low tier quite yet

[golden talon]

its barely any better than a 3060

[thorny axle]

I wouldn’t really consider that low-tier either

Not yet, at least

[golden talon]

thats a 3 year old 60 series generational card

id definitely consider it lower tier lol

[thorny axle]

considering how many people still use stuff like the 1060, I wouldn’t consider the 3060 low tier

[golden talon]

The 1060 is ultra low end then lollll

[thorny axle]

Perhaps next gen

[thorny axle]

I guess we just think differently

Nobody can put there finger down and declare something to be “low-tier,” it really is subjective

[summer folio]

The RTX 4090 performance over cheaper cards in 1080p not that breath taking

Sorry accidental ping

[full fossil]

whos going to be on 1080p in 6 years

[golden talon]

buying a 4090 for 1080p or even 1440p is just super stupid

like thats actually just idiocy

[full fossil]

^

[golden talon]

why would you even mention that

[full fossil]

its not performing because its made to push more pixels, if i do light tasks i would have a gt1030 but i game at 1440p so would i buy a 1030 for that? no

[thorny axle]

About that

That’s wrong, lol

[full fossil]

how so

[thorny axle]

3nm has hardly anything to do with transistor size last I checked

It’s just about density, and peak density at that

[golden talon]

Lol what

[thorny axle]

Actual 3nm nodes have closer to a 20nm pitch iirc

[golden talon]

thats not a clear cut thing

different foundries have completely different measures of it

[thorny axle]

Either way, 3nm technology is not a 3nm pitch

[golden talon]

and the first sign that we're close to the limit is the move of TSMCs new 3nm foundry which is significantly less of an improvement from 4 and even 5nm before it

[manic moon]

wan show late lmao

[thorny axle]

So we still have plenty of room to go

[golden talon]

plenty of room will only last like 5 years lmao

intel announced 9nm spacing last year

electrons phase through as soon as 3nm

[thorny axle]

Currently typical gates are at 48nm

With the tightest pinches at 24

48nm to 3nm or even 24 to 3 will take a bit longer than that

And you know they’ll find something else to work with

Intel’s 45nm process released about 15 years ago, another 15 years will be 2038. Who knows what we’ll have by then

Definitely something significantly better than the 4090

[golden talon]

inb4 humanity is dead beofre 2040

[thorny axle]

And if you think the 4090 will be “good enough” forever, I must inform you that at least someone has said something like that about every single computer before that

[thorny axle]

They're not consumer CPUs, though

https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/scientific-computing-workstations/machine-learning-ai/buy-200/

that answered none of my questions but just buy a 5600 or 7600

[dusty nacelle]

Well if they buy an EV rn they won't get the fuel savings rn or in 10 years

[stray apex]

7600 is faster, 5600 is cheaper

[unkempt widget]

how's everyone's day

[tardy terrace]

I mean, it kinda is, but there's a lot of different SPI lanes

peripheral nervous system is really the only thing that runs in parallel, the brain is basically a cpu running an RTOS

[unkempt widget]

what's an rtos lol

[full lotus]

Idk guys i googled why my toe was hurting and google told me i have gang green and i need to chop it off… well 9 toes and 3 months later im not longer in pain after the scab healed. So google is accurate sometimes

[tardy terrace]

real-time operating system, instead of everything being user-based it's all timed & based on reliability. Full system control, no user action required.

I guess this would be the definition of the peripheral nervous system

[unkempt widget]

ah ok, is there an example of that?

[tardy terrace]

The radio chipset that sits in your phone, traffic lights, iirc modems too

[unkempt widget]

ah makes sense

[tardy terrace]

orlynow??

[gilded quest]

Yep. It has to be

Okay I actually have no idea what Tesla does, I assume they have a RTOS running everything

[golden talon]

it depends

on most cars theres a head unit that controls the infotainment independently and only interacts with the cars RTOS in very limited functions

i have a quetion pls answer if anyone knows -
my acer predator helios 300 runs smoothly on battery but as soon as i plug it in for charging it starts lagging and stuttering even running small games of 1GB . Is it a thermal paste issue ? .. or what might be the issue here pls suggest

ok, after a short googling the RTOS can basically be considered the CANbus & ECU, android auto is it's own seperate entity & platform that has it's own seperate cpu/ram/storage w/ an integration into the CANbus for diagnostics/info reporting

[gilded quest]

But cars all run a RTOS at low levels

[tardy terrace]

Android Auto is considered an android-based OS, so not RTOS

[polar portal]

Likely you set your power plan when plugged in to be slow/battery saver

[golden talon]

Yeah android auto runs on a head unit with the rest of the infotainment but the new Carplay is thought to integrate with the car's canbus/ecu which makes it RTOS to some extent

[gilded quest]

Android auto isnt an os

It's a phone projection

[tardy terrace]

It's defined by google as AAOS (android auto operating system)

[gilded quest]

Android auto is the same as carplay

[golden talon]

as of rn yes

[hollow meteor]

i have it on high prfomance which i had to add manualy since it wa not included on w 11 . but its same for both plugged or unplugged

[gilded quest]

Android Auto and Android Automotive are separate products

[golden talon]

a new carplay was announced last year ish and a few automatkers have committed to it

[gilded quest]

Which means there will be 2 carplays

[full fossil]

Apple Automotive competitor

[golden talon]

yes

android automotive is just an infotainment that runs on a head unit

[polar portal]

Man ive been waiting doing nothing for hour and a half :/

[tardy terrace]

ok so android auto is a HAL layer sitting on the vehicle's RTOS

Jesus christ this is more complex than I thought it was originally

[polar portal]

Imagine having a car with computers

[timid meadow]

As long as they start before i get on my bike here in an hour. Not exactly convenient to start a livestream from a bicycle

[golden talon]

[golden talon]

its called an ECU

[polar portal]

It doesn't have an ECU

[full fossil]

Bullshit

[golden talon]

what model is your 1994 car lmaoo

[polar portal]

Ford festiva

The carb model, not the EFI

[golden talon]

i found the ECU location for it in like 5 seconds on google

[polar portal]

Yeah under the dash, driver side. Theres nothing there

[golden talon]

im assuming its also a manual?

[polar portal]

Yes

I mean the radio thingy is a computer i guess

[golden talon]

well there you go lmao

[polar portal]

I hope they didn't get hacked again

Do they ever announce if its cancelled?

[tardy terrace]

I really doubt they got hacked again

and I don't think they've missed more than 4 WAN shows in the history of it running

[full fossil]

Damn took me 2 minutes to find that every model of the 2nd gen 1993+ had fuel injection

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Festiva

[tardy terrace]

the.. festiva?

Is this a european spinoff of the fiesta

[full fossil]

That’s what they posted

[full fossil]

No
It’s the festiva, a spinoff of a mazda

[tardy terrace]

https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/compare/Ford-Festiva-vs-Ford-Fiesta_d344_d1060

[full fossil]

Back when ford owned a large portion of mazda and hence mazda was dogshit

[full fossil]

Ford back then was such crap much better today

[gilded quest]

They're just late. Very late

[full fossil]

6 hour WAN show les go

[gilded quest]

Every Ford my family has ever owned has had countless air conditioning issues

[tardy terrace]

the 1st-gen ford ranger nearly left me & my friend stranded 200mi away from home because cylinder 2 decided to blow it's head gasket seal, and I couldn't stop staring at the temp gauge

[gilded quest]

I'm all for it but now way I'm staying up another 6 hours

[full fossil]

Ironically every toyota we’ve had had major issues
I know it’s not normal but goddamn

[tardy terrace]

Thank fuck we made it home without it seizing

[golden talon]

my BMW has been more reliable than my dads toyota

[polar portal]

I have eClasses tomorrow but yes way I'm staying 6 hours

[full fossil]

Same
2016 3 series was ROCK solid

[golden talon]

BMW has made very reliable cars the past 5-6 years

they earned 3rd place on consumer report's reliability scores, only below toyota and lexus

[tardy terrace]

reliable (so far)

[full fossil]

140,000 miles reliable

[golden talon]

my 328i went 160K miles before it was totaled in an accident

[manic torrent]

oh wow, so the absolute bottom crapspec

[tardy terrace]

I'm burnt out on Lexus after my grandparents basically bought a new model every year for 15 years

I can only go 52mph if i try to go faster... It doesn't sound happy

[tardy terrace]

ANGRY CAMSHAFT SOUNDS

[manic torrent]

eh, wikipedia is a poor resource for weirdspec cars

[golden talon]

the only lexuses i like is the LFA and LC500

everything else is just kinda either half assed or just rebadged toyota

[full fossil]

LS?

[polar portal]

At least i cant even go 52mph because of traffic

[golden talon]

78K for an LS gets me an M550i with just as luxuious rear seats and more power

[manic torrent]

Surely when the car needs... ANYTHING... the value of the fix exceeds the value of the car

[full fossil]

You buy lexus for the reliability
Anyone arguing it’s the best short term value is wrong

[polar portal]

Mazda best cars

[golden talon]

i feel like japanese trying to make high end cars either ends up really good or really shit

[tardy terrace]

lexus LS has always been a good model

[golden talon]

the new NSX is a flop for example

but the LFA is peak japanese engineering

[tardy terrace]

JIS philips is a superior screw head

[manic torrent]

The NSX was a great car. It just... didn't really have anything compelling about it in a very competitive market.

[golden talon]

If it was cheaper like Corvette level it would have maybe found a market

[tardy terrace]

tbh I kinda just want a kia soul

[golden talon]

but thats Porsche 911 range where the NSX is looking at

[tardy terrace]

the '23 model is real nifty

If not a kia soul then a '23 ford ranger

[manic torrent]

... and porsche is pretty good at it now 🙂

[manic torrent]

oh god no

[tardy terrace]

i love the little pickups :(

[manic torrent]

[tardy terrace]

Ok, then what smaller pickups are out there?

[golden talon]

Ive gotten tired of dailying puny 4 cyls so ive been looking at M3s/M4s and the like

[manic torrent]

I live in australia.

[golden talon]

The Tundra is my fav pickup its not really small though

[tardy terrace]

Right, forgot about that bit

[manic torrent]

a subaru brat is a small pickup.

[tardy terrace]

Oh my god i love it

If I get an older car I am 100% putting new, modern seats in it

I demand adequate booty support

[crystal ocean]

like racing seats or like cozy seats lol

[tardy terrace]

I'm not a racing dork, I'd rather prioritize safety & comfort over performance.

[golden talon]

as long as it has lumbar support im a happy guy

[coarse wedge]

Hello i have a question

Its ok to install windows 10 on my laptop which when i purchase got windows 11?

[tardy terrace]

YOU HAVE MY INTEREST

[tardy terrace]

The hardware-integrated key should activate 10 no problem

[jade snow]

if you are asking if it will activate, probably will. if you are asking for compatibility reasons, yes it will work perfectly

[tardy terrace]

SKY WARDEN MY BELOVED

[jade snow]

probably better than that raggedy windows 11 beta they are pushing out

[tardy terrace]

wym, win11 is running great for me

[gilded quest]

I have no issues with windows 11

[tardy terrace]

The sky warden is like the modernized WWII version of the A-10, it's so goddamn good

[jade snow]

the numbers say, 7 was good, 8 was bad, 10 is good, 11 has to be bad

[quick spade]

I’m using windows 9

[tardy terrace]

8 is bad, 10 is good, 11 is rad

[full fossil]

11 is running good for me as well

[coarse wedge]

If i downgrade my windows 11 will my free Microsoft will gone?

[jade snow]

no, it should stay "free"

[tardy terrace]

no, if you downgrade to windows 10 from 11, it will still activate

[gilded quest]

Remember, correlation != causation

[tardy terrace]

win10 doesn't have a dark mode task manager

[polar fern]

A friend of a friend of mine bought this because she wanted to get into gaming. Im actually impressed…

[hushed goblet]

where the wan show

[tardy terrace]

I bet she got a deal on that 20-series card

[gilded quest]

You mean the 3060 ti?

[coarse wedge]

So whats better w10 or 11? Sorry for asking so many questions

[jade snow]

2000 good, NT bad, xp good, vista bad, win7 good, and then the rest

[tardy terrace]

oh that is a 30-series
Never opened up the image full-size

[gilded quest]

Windows 11, imo, but they're practically the same. If it's an Intel 12th or 13th gen processor, you should use windows 11

[hushed goblet]

windows 12 be the same to lol

[jade snow]

im runnung w10 19044

[tardy terrace]

This, because Win11 can take advantage of P/E-core CPU schemes for task scheduling

[iron lynx]

I was trying to figure it out myself

[gilded quest]

I'm okay with that as long as it's a free upgrade

[hushed goblet]

yeah

[hybrid shell]

it doesn't?

[gilded quest]

How do you rank ME

[tardy terrace]

Not unless they released an update in the last 2 years

[hushed goblet]

im not old enough, i started at xp really

[gilded quest]

[hybrid shell]

what

[gilded quest]

2003?

[tardy terrace]

before you were born

[polar fern]

Don’t share info about you online or to people you don’t know.

[jade snow]

real Gs started with the 1000 games in 1 gameboy supernintendo clones

[hybrid shell]

i was gonna say that

[manic torrent]

I was playing snake on a greenscreen before any of this existed

[polar fern]

[manic torrent]

and have stupid takes on windows 11?

[jade snow]

wasnt there an app called 4square or something that sent everyone your live location

[manic torrent]

thanks officer Boring McUnrealistic

[manic torrent]

no, but yes.

[polar fern]

Like hello. Rule #1 of the internet: keep your personal info private.

[jade snow]

the corpos have been brainwashing people to give out their info

[tardy terrace]

Age isn't really any more of a personal identifier more than your favorite fast food burger

[manic torrent]

exactly. never reveal anything about yourself ever. Keep yourself locked in a jar, never to feel the emotional connection of another human

[jade snow]

wait you are supposed to interact with the other humans? fuck

[polar fern]

@manic torrent I’d rather a minor keep their info private

[hybrid shell]

welp

[jade snow]

how do i reset my progress

[hybrid shell]

i have done that several times

[tardy terrace]

I mean, this isn't an 18+ server

[manic torrent]

and I'd rather they understood the nuance, because "don't tell anyone anything" is advice that kids are 10000% going to ignore.

[polar fern]

That’s not what I said. I said personal information.

[jade snow]

"dont talk to strangers on the internet" well then how am i gonna get free nitro?

[manic torrent]

yes but you said "like hobbies, age, school"

[hushed goblet]

or how i am going to scam someone using a fake steam page (joke)

[manic torrent]

if you can't talk about your hobbies, wtf. Also age is the first thing someone is going to talk about

[tardy terrace]

As someone who was actually stalked online & IRL there is a definite limit on the amount of personal info you should share in a public space, but age isn't really one of them

[manic torrent]

if your rules are stupid, they will be ignored entirely

[tardy terrace]

Then again, it all depends on what makes you feel most comfortable sharing

[manic torrent]

I've done a lot of parenting and supervising of kids and young adults, and if you don't respect them as people, they are not going to give a shit what you say.

[polar fern]

@manic torrent you’re misunderstanding my commentary.

[sonic barn]

how do you cite a videogame quotation or dialogue line in a mla citation

[tardy terrace]

Very carefully

[sonic barn]

please tell me

[manic torrent]

I don't see how I'm misunderstanding it

[tardy terrace]

Honestly I have no idea, I was just being a bit of a twerp

[sonic barn]

To cite dialogue spoken by a character in a video game in MLA format, you can transcribe the words you hear or copy the quote from the text box displaying it and enclose the words in double quotation marks1. Since there are no markers indicating where in the video the dialogue appears, it can be helpful to give a general description of where it occurs2.

Here’s an example of how to cite a video game dialogue in MLA format:

“Quote” (Game Title).

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

[earnest cedar]

Yeah but a fridge is like 250 pounds that's a net weight of 50 pounds since you saved 250

[tardy terrace]

Also, don't over-do exercise to make up for it and drop to an unhealthy weight

My point is moderation is key

[dreamy rose]

Lmao. imagine using Spotify instead of MP3s

[manic torrent]

I take moderation in moderation

[tardy terrace]

My man

[nimble junco]

I have my act tm and I plan to play vlorant for the next 6 hours

[manic torrent]

act?

[nimble junco]

its a national test to get into college

[tardy terrace]

Voids have you been drinking

[nimble junco]

probably

[manic torrent]

ok cool

[tardy terrace]

isn't the ACT the lesser LSAT

[manic torrent]

ezpz. That reminds me of when I had my AWS solution architect exam and I decided I would be better off doing docker stuff on my home server.

Studying is for people that aren't blessed with magically good-at-tests skills

The purpose of the ACT test is to measure a high school student's readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants.

[tardy terrace]

I wonder how good I'd do if I sobered up

[thorny axle]

Hopefully not too much trouble

[manic torrent]

I mean, I'm not taking any tests.

[thorny axle]

Ah, sorry. Should’ve read the context

[thorny axle]

Often with the people I meet, the SAT better represents what I think of them than their GPA. Again, just in my personal experience

[manic torrent]

I have no context for that anyway 🙂

[thorny axle]

I’m sure the ACT is similar

[manic torrent]

and IMHO tests are a starting point, and have severe limitations

[thorny axle]

Of course, which is why a full evaluation is necessary

[tardy terrace]

Stick me in front of a stack of hardware and I have a better chance of figuring out the situation over explanations over text

[timid meadow]

I dont like paper tests because if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, itll forever think its dumb. Give me hands on plus time to solve

[manic torrent]

I'm very good at taking tests. I mean I'm generally good at stuff, but I take tests very well. I know others who are good at stuff, and terrible at taking tests

but.... I'm also rubbish at structured learning in the traditional sense. absolutely hate it.

[solar stag]

what is da quiest 7900xtx?

[tardy terrace]

Tests are such a struggle point for me due to the time constraint, it's like a never-ending pressure that looms over my conscious

[manic torrent]

a water cooled one.

[manic torrent]

... or maybe just adjust the fan curve?

[timid meadow]

I spend more time calculating how long i have to answer each question then by the time im done i should have done 4 to stay on schedule so i panic and recalculate and the circle begins again

[manic torrent]

and/or repaste it, and/or RMA it

[tardy terrace]

Oh god your mental calculations go far beyond mine
may god help your soul

[full fossil]

I love the WAN show but holy today's was a snoozefest

[manic torrent]

I do a first pass, and any question that takes longer than 10-30 seconds, I skip for the second pass. That way I've typically done 80% of the exam in a very short time, and can easily allocate time to the remaining questions - although I rarely need the full time.

we did a stupid ITIL course at my old work and in the exam my challenge was to get the highest mark and to leave first

[wispy marsh]

Hey

[timid meadow]

I was great at tests till roughly sophmore year then i hit the wall of "gifted kid with shit upbringing and no resources or anyone who cares enough to instill motivation"

[wispy marsh]

I just saw the first half of the wan show on the week of the hackening

[tardy terrace]

I always liked doing the easy bits first and using the remaining time for the confusing shit. If all fails I gave it my best guess. Always appreciated being able to go back through my answers to see what was wrong

[full fossil]

sword art online is part of WAN show lore now

[tardy terrace]

wtf they should have done a nuggie comparison this time

[manic torrent]

Ah, see I had resources and okish upbringing and low motivation, so it lasted longer.

[timid meadow]

I dont even mean to say that as some poor me shit. I definitely could have made better choices but oh well. Im not in dead, jail, or a parent yet so good enough.

[tardy terrace]

not in dead

[sudden kettle]

is tiny task a virus?

[timid meadow]

Rip oh well you get what i mean

[tardy terrace]

as per google it can be "considered a keylogger"

[sudden kettle]

does it still keylog when it's closed?

I'm thinking about using it but I don't want my accounts breached

[tardy terrace]

I have no way to know for sure, but if you're trying to macro on roblox you should probably reconsider using a sketchy third-party program

[manic torrent]

I'm not dead or in jail, but I am a parent.

[timid meadow]

Youve also got me beat by 20 ish years, i probably wont be against the parent thing by then haha

[wispy marsh]

Let's try embed again

[manic torrent]

I mean, I got married in 2005, which is a loooooong time ago

[wispy marsh]

Lol @ 50/year

[wispy marsh]

I wanna hear the first year before you started dating

[manic torrent]

before I start dating my now wife?

[wispy marsh]

Yes

[manic torrent]

uhhh, 2000/2001 I think

[pine whale]

tf

[tiny saffron]

You started dating your wife when AMD was still the king

[pine whale]

this guy has to be atleast 42

[elfin jetty]

Wan show wildin tonight

[wispy marsh]

Okay, in the most generic way possible, I wanna know how you went from not-dating to dating

[manic torrent]

you win the prize for guessing exactly correct 🙂

[pine whale]

fr?

[tiny saffron]

That was a lucky shot

[pine whale]

well he was atleast 18-21 when he started dating at 2001 so i just guessed 42 💀

[manic torrent]

we went to the same school, I came back because my brother was in some concert, she was there, we were attracted to each other (we had known each other previously, but not gone out), so we ... went out?

[manic torrent]

how do you know I was at least 18?

[pine whale]

i assume u were idk anything 💀

[manic torrent]

I had a Duron 600 and 700 I remember.

[wispy marsh]

Definitely high school. I could see how that went.

Cue "Dance, Dance" video by F.O.B.

[pine whale]

man was still listening to panic at the disco in high school 😂

[manic torrent]

errr, you're way off. Greenday.

[tiny saffron]

Dude was at high school when daft punk is on the charts

[pine whale]

boulevard of broken dreams is the only song ik by them

[manic torrent]

I weep.

[pine whale]

?

[pine whale]

daft punk i think ive heard of them

nope

[manic torrent]

it was ... pearl jam, silverchair, living end, sash, area 7, frenzal rhomb, oh man, so much awesome music. It was the grunge era, and the absolute best trance era.

[pine whale]

panic at the disco is a great band

[manic torrent]

oh, and offspring - smash. oh man. And RATM.

[sudden kettle]

is softonic safe?

[manic torrent]

Good memories smashing out killing in the name with some mates

[sudden kettle]

thinking about installing tiny task from it

[rugged rapids]

So like…the ASUS Zephyrus G14 has only 1 M.2 slot, so every time if I wanted to add space, I’d either have to use an external SSD or reinstall Windows?

[manic torrent]

or.... copy it to the new SSD? also wtf do you mean "every time"

[rugged rapids]

Yeah no no I got u

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSlnOv8R4Kg

[rugged rapids]

Lmao

[wispy marsh]

Ratm's good

[pine whale]

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bLm8g1gdcPc&feature=share

🗿

[tiny saffron]

Softonic is one thing, the tiny task is another

[forest valve]

Softonic lol

[tiny saffron]

That host is a menace in it's own

The McAfee of the software download site

[tiny saffron]

If you want more m.2 socket you can always get a pcie to m.2 adapter

UGreen sells them for cheap

[manic torrent]

.... for a laptop

[tiny saffron]

There's also some with more slots but I think those are more expensive

[tiny saffron]

Bruh💀

[pine whale]

hook ur laptop charging port up to ur car battery for fast charging:)

[manic torrent]

but you can get a USB-C m.2 enclosure pretty reasonably.

[tiny saffron]

Sorry then, that's not the solution

I mean you totally can tape a m.2 external enclosure to the back of the laptop

[manic torrent]

I mean, you can do this.

[tiny saffron]

Yeah, there's 12v dc to 120/240v ac converter

[manic torrent]

uhhhh no

[rugged rapids]

💀

[manic torrent]

why are you going AC to charge your laptop? That makes no sense.

[elfin jetty]

[pine whale]

i charge my laptop in the oven

[tiny saffron]

Then plug your laptop charger to the ac converter

[elfin jetty]

if its an electric one you can make a big ass coil

[manic torrent]

yes, and you have a huge waste of space and power.

[pine whale]

💀

[tiny saffron]

But it's hell of a lot safer

[manic torrent]

it really isn't.

[pine whale]

i put my laptop in the water to charge it 😎

[tiny saffron]

Can you directly hot wire the car battery to your laptop?

[manic torrent]

You can just use the 12V to drive a USB C charger, or whatever charger your laptop needs

[tiny saffron]

That's an idea

[manic torrent]

if your laptop runs off 12ish V, yeah.

[sudden kettle]

I heard that the official download is from softonic

[manic torrent]

but you may need a voltage converter/regulator.

[pine whale]

do it without that thing whatever it is

[manic torrent]

or: understand electricity

[pine whale]

electricity + water = bad 😊

[manic torrent]

eh, not really

.... as long as you understand what you're doing 🙂

[tiny saffron]

Maybe official, but it's still a terrible host site

[velvet marsh]

ooh blizzard giving me 250MB/s download, not bad

[wispy marsh]

[elfin jetty]

new ltt mousepad

hell yea

[thorny axle]

You don’t want electronics to touch water

Better?

[wispy marsh]

Nice

[manic torrent]

generally 😉

[thorny axle]

Why would you ever want water to make contact with your electronics

[wispy marsh]

Unprotected electronics*

[thorny axle]

That is extremely implied

[wispy marsh]

Stuff like underwater acidity monitoring requires them to stay submerged

[tiny saffron]

When your parents want to check your Internet history and you have 5 seconds to clear it

[manic torrent]

water detection switches for one

but you can also use it as a transmission medium, depending on the nature of the water

or you may need to ensure the water holds a particular charge

[thorny axle]

🙄

[vapid smelt]

water activated fish

[manic torrent]

but yes, you don't randomly shove your consumer electronics in water. It's generally a bad day

[manic torrent]

My son has one of these, but it's baby shark and it sings baby shark

[wispy marsh]

Get rid of it now

[tiny saffron]

That's the most obnoxious thing I ever heard

[thorny axle]

White elephant moment

[forest valve]

I'd melt that thing in front of him

Baby shark deserves drastic measures

[dreamy rose]

i remember those

[thorny axle]

Send the rods from god

[polar fern]

Now I just gotta find a zen+ cpu

[thorny axle]

10 tons of tungsten moving at 10 times the speed of sound

[thorny axle]

Not an ounce of energy wasted

The thing must go

It is a threat to national sanity and security

[dreamy rose]

that shyte was always annoying. never deserved to be the most viewed video on YouTube. and Merchandise? really. bruh.

[tiny saffron]

One of that cost like 100 million dollars

[thorny axle]

Eh, maybe to launch the system up

After that, dropping a rod is pretty cheap

[timid meadow]

Also i believe it was used as torture in a few cases if the news stories i read awhile back are to be believed

[manic torrent]

lol, his parents bought it for him IIRC

and he loves it. You're going to take something away that a child loves?

[polar fern]

Ryzen 7 2700 hmm

[dreamy rose]

Sounds about right tbh

[timid meadow]

Ez. Kid will learn to love again

[dreamy rose]

he wouldnt know about it if it never took off in the first place

[thorny axle]

If I got your son a whistle and he just blew through it all day, you’re going to hell if you don’t take it away

[timid meadow]

Crane progress pog

[manic torrent]

Slight incident! While testing, the cable from the Winch came undone. I will change to a hydraulic crimped connection

[dreamy rose]

nah. get him a Melody Pop

[timid meadow]

And thats why we test!

[manic torrent]

And I discovered the rotational mechanism is not secure enough

Which I knew, and it just needs a little love.

[manic torrent]

He isn't in the bath all day though

[wispy marsh]

You have too much free time on your hands

[wispy marsh]

I love it

[thorny axle]

I suppose it (hopefully) won’t last long

[polar fern]

@manic torrent counterweights?

[manic torrent]

nah, I already have an updated design, just need to finalise how it will work exactly

[polar fern]

Just levers then?

[vapid smelt]

is Australia known for earth quakes or is it quite over there?

[wispy marsh]

They're upside-down. They have skyquakes.

[polar fern]

Aus has a few fault lines. Not sure about quakes tho

It’s kinda on its own plate

[elfin jetty]

[manic torrent]

Pulleys!

[full fossil]

If a kid loves it a kid loves it. As it's not illegal or morally bad then why prevent them from having what they love?

[polar fern]

Ahhh ok

[full fossil]

Age of consent is 16 so stop with that smh

For russian kids it's 9

Jk lol

...

[dreamy rose]

ok but thats not funny

[full fossil]

I saw some memes about Russian kids
