The guy clearly did that for attention, good job guys

[golden talon]

literally just install an app

[full fossil]

spotify is 5 bucks a month since you got such a feature rich phone at a good price invest in that lol

[golden talon]

i can look up 5 fucking apps that plays .flac on the app store

[strong kettle]

turkey method

[vapid smelt]

you cant invest in something you wont own

[ashen zodiac]

I still buy physical music that I can digitise for using on my phone. The audio quality of cd audio is way better than Spotify

[golden talon]

though i guess it would be a pain in the ass to download anything off the app store with 2 mbps

[tiny saffron]

IMO if you're such an audiophile you'll tends to buy a more dedicated music player

[full fossil]

Tidal

[golden talon]

literally nobody buying an iphone gives a fuck about .flac files man

[ashen zodiac]

Expensive

[dreamy rose]

imagine needing an app when theres a built in player that plays em all

[wind pulsar]

Most people won't even know these exist lmao

[strong kettle]

The average person dosent even know what a .flac is

people use spotify cmon

[tiny saffron]

.flac is lossless music files, you'll know it if you either an audiophile or watched DankPods

[ashen zodiac]

Which is bad. If you buy a cd not only are you getting a superior format, you only have to pay for it once and you support the artist way more

[golden talon]

cd is superior format
now ive seen it all

[forest valve]

lmao

[strong kettle]

Cd’s arent even sold in my country anymore ☠️

[polar fern]

Apple has its own lossless standard

[forest valve]

I use YouTube music vanced works fine for me

[wind pulsar]

.. You know that's not how people work, right

[ashen zodiac]

It's way higher bitrate than Spotify. Look it up

[strong kettle]

The last time i used a CD was in 2013

[wind pulsar]

People are not gonna use a fucking CD to play their music, that's inconvenient as hell

[ashen zodiac]

Which country?

[tiny saffron]

Not everyone can access the CD, have the space to store or play the dics or the time to do so

[golden talon]

95% of the population listening to music does not give a flying fuck about bitrate they just wanna listen to music

[vapid smelt]

prison wallet

[strong kettle]

Singapore its literally where most tech things of asia ship out of

[wind pulsar]

Literally nobody even cares about CDs these days

Why make a ten minute effort if you can just play the fucking music within ten seconds

[tiny saffron]

Getting into a hobby such as this cost a lot

[ashen zodiac]

That's why I make .flac files from the cd. Lossless, I still have the physical copy and can use it conveniently on my phone

[strong kettle]

Singapore is also where MOST audiophile equipment ships from

[forest valve]

who the fuck uses CDs in 2023

[golden talon]

cavemans

[wind pulsar]

No, that's not what I meant, stop twisting the argument

[ashen zodiac]

I do

[tiny saffron]

It's more to support your fav artist nowadays

And it's neat to own something physical

[vapid smelt]

ezpz

[full fossil]

people out here digitizing cds to get their music…lol if the issue is supporting the artist why dont you buy merch instead and get spotify and have a bigger library at your disposal… chances are your headphones arent good enough to take advantage of the audio without an amp adapter

[candid galleon]

Hi

[strong kettle]

im not putting that in my pocket

[ashen zodiac]

You also get cool stuff like art, a thank you note from the artist, depends on the cd but sometimes they include really cool stuff

[wind pulsar]

Next to nobody is gonna use a CD for any sort of thing for their phone, when something like Spotify enables you to listen to music within a singular minute

[tiny saffron]

Bro you better off using Spotify

[polar fern]

Spotify is gross. I use SoundCloud & Pandora. 👍

[wind pulsar]

People are not gonna make a 10 minute effort to put cd files onto their iPhone, hence inconvenient

[graceful burrow]

Kinda want an old portable CD player

[golden talon]

the entire selling point of an iphone is convenience

[graceful burrow]

I'm not even that old and I used to use those :(

[tiny saffron]

I use YouTube Music like a caveman, how's your tea?

[ashen zodiac]

It's almost like if apple still included optical drives it wouldn't be inconvenient at all

[polar fern]

I have ripped cd files & converted them to ringtones.

[strong kettle]

I havent even seen a CD player in 5 years

[vapid smelt]

i use amazon music

[polar fern]

Tea is very good. ☺️

[full fossil]

@ashen zodiac what headphones and accessories do you use to listen to music on your phone

[wind pulsar]

I don't care what you state about it, it'd still be inconvenient to people

[golden talon]

theyre bulky shits that are hella inconvenient lmao

[strong kettle]

amazing

[ashen zodiac]

Sony WH1000X-M3 wired cuz my phone has a headphone jack

[wind pulsar]

People will use the faster method, even if it's just by three seconds

[polar fern]

I lost my CD collection in vegas. $600 worth. Still mad about it 20 years later 🤣

[ashen zodiac]

Oh yes so bulky absolutely

[tiny saffron]

It's more of a novelty nowadays

[golden talon]

i do have the WH1000XM4s and theyre good headphones just way too much bass

gives me a headache sometimes

[tiny saffron]

Jeez that SUCKS

[full fossil]

why are you worried about audio quality and listen on Bluetooth? were you dropped on the head???

[ashen zodiac]

Turn off NC then it doesn't add bass

[golden talon]

turning off NC on the XM4s defeats the entire purpose of the XM4

[tiny saffron]

Bruh💀

[wind pulsar]

Good that we confirmed that you have no arguments left considering this and you refuse to admit that you're just plain wrong (or delusional)

[mint yacht]

Let's not do personal attacks for no reason, thanks

[polar fern]

Indeed. Lot of live track albums off eBay too.

[ashen zodiac]

Read again. I use wired

[full fossil]

thats not a personal attack but ok dad

[tiny saffron]

Good call there

[wind pulsar]

That's.. not how that works

[full fossil]

eho u

[strong kettle]

Audiophile VS normal people

[golden talon]

i wouldnt describe a sony WH1000XM3 user an audiophile by any extent of the imagination

[tiny saffron]

I got into a lil bit of it and you can hear the difference and it's delightful

[wind pulsar]

Since when do you have to insult someone to attack someone lmao

[dreamy rose]

i only want Wireless if my phone has the problematic non headphone jack.

[polar fern]

I use my koss ur20 plus software EQ for big rich sound & my Logitech h390 for watching YouTube/twitch

[full fossil]

IEMS would knock those out of the water and for much cheaper

[ashen zodiac]

i am completely correct. spotify is 320kbps on highest settings.

cd audio is 1,41MB/s lossless, it's vastly superior.

[golden talon]

i just use the airpods pros 2 and theyre fantastic

[strong kettle]

for me if my airpods play music im happy

[full fossil]

same

[tiny saffron]

And that'll serves just well

[wind pulsar]

Shifting goalposts again because you know that's not what I was referring to lmfao

[dreamy rose]

Apple = fantastic to you doesnt it?

[golden talon]

not really

[full fossil]

well when they make the best in class BT Earbud to me yeah

[golden talon]

i can just appreciate a good product. cant really fault the Airpods pros

[graceful burrow]

This chat is giving me brain die

[tiny saffron]

Airpods are plenty decent to normal users and fun listening IMO

[dreamy rose]

thats the point

[tiny saffron]

Keep your brain in an enclosed space before enter the chat

[ashen zodiac]

best in class

bluetooth

LMFAO

[wind pulsar]

I am listening to ASMR while doing this, it's kinda twisting with my head

[polar fern]

@graceful burrow mhm. I’m gonna tea & movie after this ltt vid

[full fossil]

yeah unless you want a bulky earbud that sounds 3% better

[wind pulsar]

Apparently you can't read either lmao
They said 'Best in class bluetooth earbuds'

[golden talon]

im getting a massage while in here, quite the experience

[graceful burrow]

I know what kind of asmr you listen to

[golden talon]

uh oh

[strong kettle]

the spicy kind

[wind pulsar]

I can send it to you

[dreamy rose]

no bluetooth is as fucking garbage as Windows.

[tiny saffron]

Bluetooth headphones sure can deliver but if you want the tip of the top, wireless have to be ditched

[graceful burrow]

I won't listen to it

[wind pulsar]

I know

[strong kettle]

Its good when your listening to music in class when its not allowed

[tiny saffron]

Way too god damned true

[graceful burrow]

I might skip through it out of curiosity but I won't actually listen

[polar fern]

One of the twitch streamers I follow does gaming + asmr. That stuff doesn’t work on me so we chat about cool stuff instead. 👍

[dreamy rose]

haha ASMR

[ashen zodiac]

just to put bitrate to rest #screenshots message

[wind pulsar]

Idk if you'd understand anyway, it's in Japanese lmao

[tiny saffron]

ASMR is one thing I couldn't understand

[golden talon]

my ASMR is just screaming V10s

[dreamy rose]

ne neither.

[tiny saffron]

Only the LFA, nothing else

[ashen zodiac]

bluetooth audio in the best case scenario (aptX) is 352kbps. that's pathetic

[golden talon]

LFA and the 12000 RPM gallardo

[strong kettle]

Im prolly gonna learn that language its hella similar to my main language

[wind pulsar]

Err, cool

[strong kettle]

Is the audiophile argument over

Its always AMD vs Nvidia vs Intel or Android vs Apple

[golden talon]

that was an incredibly one sided "argument"

[polar fern]

No

[tiny saffron]

Yeah, most of us want to listen on the move so Bluetooth is more of the commercial choice we tends to go, pros use wired for the exact reason you said

[full fossil]

it might be pathetic to you but in most peoples cases noone is analyzing the sound second to second from their phone anyway. thats why bt earbuds exist

[wind pulsar]

That was just multiple people talking to a brickwall because why would people admit they've been wrong lmao

[strong kettle]

human nature

[tiny saffron]

Fak you Amiga or Commodore

[strong kettle]

i have no clue what that means

[full fossil]

intel vs android lul i think apple wins

[golden talon]

this channel sure sees a lot of such brickwalls lmao

[ashen zodiac]

it's also just genre. modern pop music is so auto tuned and compressed it sounds the same no matter what it's played on.

if you listen to for example power metal then you really notice guitars and real drums get crushed by the bitrates

[strong kettle]

another argument is brewing

[tiny saffron]

It's like 70's OS

[full fossil]

😂😂

[ashen zodiac]

*80's

[tiny saffron]

Thanks for correction

[strong kettle]

people dont like to respect each other opinions

They will only believe what they think is right

[tiny saffron]

Going defensive is easy, being open is hard. I'm in no place to say this tho

[dreamy rose]

PET = late 70's. VIC 20/C64 = early 80s. Amiga = Mid 80's early 90s

[vapid smelt]

have fun with your outdated usb 2.0 connector

[strong kettle]

If you reply its just gonna escalate shit

[dreamy rose]

lolno

[full fossil]

the argument is people who will bend over backwards for an audio improvement they will rarely notice from their phone vs people who wanna open their earbud case and press a button to losten to music

[golden talon]

you forget that apple and intel benefit from thunderbolt

[tiny saffron]

Thanks for the info

[ashen zodiac]

wireless vs wired is an insane diff. iSheeps just don't know cuz it's been so long since they lost the headphone jack

[dreamy rose]

thats pretty much the entire lineup minus some acual PCs they made

[full fossil]

as an android user of 7 years im not really an isheep

i just dont like shit products

[ashen zodiac]

yes because no pc or laptop outside of apple have that. oh wait

[vapid smelt]

but your pcpartpicker list says otherwise

[golden talon]

only intel does apart from apple, AMD lost there

[full fossil]

can you afford it?

[tiny saffron]

I only remember commodore from the commercial

[strong kettle]

yes lmao my pc beats yours

[ashen zodiac]

https://www.windowscentral.com/can-you-use-thunderbolt-3-amd-ryzen-pc

[vapid smelt]

i can afford more then that

[full fossil]

cool well go buy more than that then idgaf what u have

[tiny saffron]

You don't like toilets?

[golden talon]

now look at how much those boards cost LMAO

[ashen zodiac]

also bend over backwards? digitising a cd takes 10 minutes cuz my laptop has an optical drive, 2 minutes to transfer to my phone, done.

[dreamy rose]

thats fair. i only ever have seen them in Retrospective. but i would LOVE to play with an Amiga

[strong kettle]

'can you afford it?' he was answering your question

[ashen zodiac]

that's not the point. you said amd doesn't support it. they absolutely do

[golden talon]

streaming a song is instant

[vapid smelt]

doesn't like shit products but buys a 4070ti

[tiny saffron]

Hell I learn about this from a Chinese Youtuber who loved gaming

[ashen zodiac]

after you download spotify, sign up, pay for premium... putting a cd in a player (yes i own an old school 90's cd player) is way faster than that

[full fossil]

i just dont like bum ass cards that cant do raytracing well

[golden talon]

go to youtube and watch a 15 second ad and watch whatever you want. no sign up needed

[ashen zodiac]

you make fun of me for wanting lossless audio but then uses raytracing? the amount of hypocritical here bruh

[dreamy rose]

i watched the 8 bit guy way back and hell it just clicked. old tech is cool.

[vapid smelt]

4080

[forest valve]

Lol dude is trying to push CDs

[strong kettle]

and in that time you have put in 4 CDs and i have over 10k songs

[ashen zodiac]

youtube audio quality is hella compressed

[forest valve]

💀 💀 💀 💀

[polar fern]

Lightning can support usb 3.2 gen 1 just fyi.

[full fossil]

for my use case i dont need a 4080 so why buy it

[golden talon]

and yet 95% of people either cant tell the difference or just dont give a shit

[forest valve]

I don't care it sounds fine to me, and YouTube music sounds great

[tiny saffron]

Dude I watched was fucking around some counterfeit games from China and it was hilarious

[strong kettle]

heheheheheh my triple 4080 for roblox

[forest valve]

Horrible arguments

[ashen zodiac]

what's the issue? it's objectively better than streaming. the quality is way better, it's physical you don't need internet, you support the artists better...

[dreamy rose]

lmao 10000 in 1?

[vapid smelt]

vram and better raytracing

[golden talon]

this all AMD laptop is kinda ass

[forest valve]

Wdym triple?

[strong kettle]

im the guy with 3 4080's

[golden talon]

i cant even undervol this thing

[forest valve]

In one PC?

[strong kettle]

3 pcs

[polar fern]

AssMD?

[golden talon]

Nah i love AMD but this laptop is just not great

[tiny saffron]

Some games reskinned from a famous games, one thay turned the computer into a learning machine

[golden talon]

i mean i got it for a steal of a price so whatever

[full fossil]

so like i said, i dont need a 4080 so why buy it i play at 4k 60hz and 1440p 144hz and thats the sweetspot for the 4070ti so stop riding my dick

[vapid smelt]

60hz 🤢

[full fossil]

every played on an oled tv

[tiny saffron]

It was the OG counterfeit Famicon drives, inside was some goofy ahhh games

[full fossil]

above your setup from your bed

[ashen zodiac]

again, you make fun of me for wanting better bitrate yet you buy oled which costs significantly more than lcd for a marginal improvement

[golden talon]

to some people cost means nothing

if its an improvement its an improvement, theyll pay money

[tiny saffron]

I'm sure he got some money

[full fossil]

just a lil

[tiny saffron]

Let him have it as he liked

[strong kettle]

CDs are already starting to be phased out

[dreamy rose]

sounds just like one of those xxx in one cartridges

[forest valve]

Most modern computer cases don't even have a spot for a CD reader

[golden talon]

good

[strong kettle]

The CD is from 1982

[ashen zodiac]

you can buy brand new cd's right now. a lot of artists still release on cd so people who really like their stuff can support then better than streaming.

[polar fern]

Just wait till you find out that there’s a 58 & 59.54 hz.

[dreamy rose]

the most they accommodate is a USB drive

[full fossil]

plus i got this tv for 200 so its cheaper than Lcd tvs of the same size and features..

[forest valve]

I don't care about supporting artists, most of them are assholes

[ashen zodiac]

and it's still superior in quality

[tiny saffron]

Pretty much yeah, China been doin the counterfeit grind since the dawn of time

[forest valve]

Music industry is a shithole

[strong kettle]

im not going out of my way to buy a CD and a CD reader when i can just stream it

[ashen zodiac]

then listen to good music from good artists. lmfao. lovebites is a great band i recommend

[golden talon]

music is subjective

[forest valve]

No offense but I'm not taking suggestions from someone with a kpop pfp

[dreamy rose]

the hard drive is from 1956

[ashen zodiac]

my pfp is from Band Maid, a japanese rock band. you couldn't have been more wrong

[strong kettle]

yep and more people are starting to use SSD's now

[tiny saffron]

Some buy vinyl just for the novelty of it

[strong kettle]

yea i agree vinyl cds look sick

[ashen zodiac]

you get a worse product though

[golden talon]

isnt audio upscaling already a thing too

[dreamy rose]

still HDDs are selling to customers despite being dead unless you have a need for like 20TB in a single drive

[golden talon]

nothing stopping me from just upscaling a file to sound as good as a CD

[strong kettle]

When im walking would i be paying attention to the music im playing or

[tiny saffron]

I buy it so I can toss it like a Frisbee

[full fossil]

when im going on a run i just need to hear the extra reverb from the guitar or it just isnt right!!!!!

[dreamy rose]

SSDs are kinda stuck at 8 in consumer and 16TB in datacenter stuff.

[golden talon]

and thats enough for 99% of people

[strong kettle]

The surrounding sounds of the environment, your own breathing and heartbeat make it so that you cant really tell a diff

[tiny saffron]

No way we can buy a Sabrent 8TB willy nilly

[ashen zodiac]

how fucked is your hearing?

[strong kettle]

Its 1k

[dreamy rose]

absolutely. i just want to see consumer 20TB SSDs soon thats all.

[golden talon]

itll happen, not anytime soon but itll happen

[tiny saffron]

ALL THE STEAM LIBRARY ON MY FINGERTIPS

[strong kettle]

thats most people lmao

[full fossil]

as someone who has been to many raves i dont think i can distinguish a lot of minor details in audio

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HrD7YJ/teamgroup-qx-153-tb-25-solid-state-drive-t253x7153t0c101 we have 15tb

[ashen zodiac]

idk how you people just accept a worse product

[hot bough]

To be honest, I'd prefer it more for the reason that it doesn't have batteries to fail every 2 years

[strong kettle]

Literally no one in this chat right now uses a CD to play music

[golden talon]

to many people, the better product is simply the most convenient and easiest one to use

[ashen zodiac]

i'v ebeen listening to metal way too loud since i was a kid, i can still hear the diff

[dreamy rose]

3300 US

[full fossil]

yeah, well i passed out from working at a festival and standing near a speaker and lost hearing in one of my ears temporarily… we are not the same

[tiny saffron]

And SATA

[ashen zodiac]

that doesn't make it a better product, arguably putting a disc in a player and pressing play is easier. my grandma can do that, she can't figure out spotify

[strong kettle]

Am i going to find a small artist on a cd

[ashen zodiac]

name an artist

[golden talon]

but would your grandma be willing to take that player everywhere she goes, on a plane, on walks, outside in general comapred to a phone?

[polar fern]

Anyone here also watch techmoan? 🤔

[strong kettle]

re6ce

[tiny saffron]

I listened to techno so there is no way I can be saved

[hot bough]

Can't you buy fuckin Post Malone CDs? Lol

[dreamy rose]

SATA ssds are fine. there's some uses for em like old systems like mine. but if NVME is there you want it.

[full fossil]

let me take my cd player and my cds on a walk and leave it in my pocket…. how inconvenient is that

[manic torrent]

I literally gave away all my physical media.

[tiny saffron]

The price difference is insane tho

[ashen zodiac]

absolutely https://www.discogs.com/master/1104653-Post-Malone-Stoney

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discman

[golden talon]

that shit is NOT fitting in a pocket lmao

[full fossil]

yeah id like to see you put that in a pocket and be comfortable

[dreamy rose]

NVME is really shocking how cheap it is. i mean shits faster than sata by 4x at minimum.

[manic torrent]

Lol, you underestimate 90s/early 2000s pockets

[strong kettle]

You aint finding instrumentals of anime openings on a CD lmao

[dreamy rose]

the formfactor is just, really limiting. chips need to be bigger.

[tiny saffron]

The price had gone down so much is insane, and I hate it as I bought one before the price drop

[strong kettle]

Streaming is so much more convenient than CD's

[golden talon]

Oh, if only we lived in 2023... in an age when pocketable computer exist...

[tiny saffron]

Ya'll have fanny pack then

Ngl I'll rock a fanny packs

[dreamy rose]

rip, we may never use Gen5 drives to the full extent in maybe another 5 years and gen 6 will be out by then.

[full fossil]

my fanny has no space for a pack so ill stick to listening from my phone

[manic torrent]

Oh for sure, but I mean back in the day, the ideal was an MP3 discman type thing. Creative nomad.

[full fossil]

from spotify

[tiny saffron]

The speed nowadays is adequate for most of home use so I don't see the rush

[strong kettle]

it got warshipped

[manic torrent]

Because it didn't need much cache to cache a whole song.

I don't understand this debate lol

[ashen zodiac]

no i replied to the wrong message

[strong kettle]

Yeah all the popular animes sure but not the ones i watched 10 years ago

[heavy dust]

moving from ps4 to pc

[manic torrent]

Also.... You can burn anything you want to a CD.

[dreamy rose]

there's literally no rush for faster and faster SSDs, SATA is just. really bad now.

[ashen zodiac]

name one

[dreamy rose]

good. ditch the shitty platforms

[strong kettle]

pet girl of sakurasou

[manic torrent]

It's not actually bad. My server is using a sata SSD and I've never noticed

[golden talon]

amazing anime

[tiny saffron]

Good for secondary but you'll get even cheaper with disc

[heavy dust]

no games are coming out anymore on ps4

[golden talon]

same writer of pet girl of sakurasou wrote bunny girl senpai

[manic torrent]

Yeah but that seek noise is unacceptable

[dreamy rose]

yea it was released nearly 10 years ago.

[heavy dust]

2 years ago, a 250gb boot drive and 2tb hdd was the best thing to get

[tiny saffron]

Tom and Jerry

[vapid smelt]

that was 2021 thats a lie

[ashen zodiac]

there's a CD of it https://sakurasou.fandom.com/wiki/Kimi_ga_Yume_wo_Tsuretekita#CD/DVD

[strong kettle]

Where can i buy it?

[tiny saffron]

Sata it is, good for transport too

[heavy dust]

late 2021 it would’ve been a lie when ssd prices dropped

1tb was 120$ now 2tb is 80$

[vapid smelt]

$200 for a 2tb ssd was reasonable

[heavy dust]

sata is completely fine currently idk what you’re on about

[dreamy rose]

again. it will have its niche with old systems that use SATA and whatnot. but for anything that uses NVME its likely gonna be a dead option in 5-10 years

[heavy dust]

doubt the average user is transferring 80gb files to another ssd

in games the difference is negligible and loading windows

[ashen zodiac]

difficult to find if this is the exact one since my japanese isn't amazing, but this might be it no? https://www.amazon.com/Sakura-Sou-No-Pet-Kanojo/dp/B009KRD3XA

[vapid smelt]

2tb nvme

[strong kettle]

and theres 3 in stock if those sold out would they be able to restock it for me

[manic torrent]

I mean.... Yes. But that's a long time.

[dreamy rose]

that 15TB SSD is like 5K here,

[strong kettle]

and its THIRTY dollars

[golden talon]

thats the actual anime not the song lmao

[tiny saffron]

The unique slot is usually the killshot

[ashen zodiac]

welcome to the world of paying actual pricing that can support artists

[strong kettle]

And its the anime

[ashen zodiac]

it says it's an audio cd...

[heavy dust]

the only problem with sata it’s almost more expensive than nvme

[strong kettle]

Please use google translate

[dreamy rose]

its already been 3 years since Series S/X and PS5 came out. the next gen or gen after that's probably gonna kill off SATA.

[golden talon]

the japanese title says its the 3rd drama CD to the telivision series

the song title is mentioned nowhere on there

its basically a bunch of OVAs

[polar fern]

Mm tea was good

[heavy dust]

it’s still gonna be a while before they get killed

a lot of laptops, consoles, desktops only support sata

[ashen zodiac]

what is the song title in english?

[strong kettle]

you brought me a dream

[polar fern]

What’s the original language?

[strong kettle]

jap

[dreamy rose]

it took a while to kill 8GB Graphics cards but the market wasn't ready to kill it off (Thanks Nvidia you greedy assholes) but here we are.

You can send faxes over Google voice

It says 'SOLD OUT'

[dreamy rose]

they work on phone numbers. not suprising

[ashen zodiac]

the cd also says on it "for sale in japan only" so it's unlikely since i can't type japanese that i can find it

[golden talon]

the spelling is Kimi ga Yume o Tsuretekita
the translation is roughly “the dream you brought”

you didn't specify it needed to be in stock

[strong kettle]

yeah but its not for sale

If i cant buy it how can i play it

[ashen zodiac]

you didn't specify that. you only said that you didn't think it would be released on cd

[heavy dust]

what does graphics card have to do with this

[golden talon]

if it’s not anime i don’t watch it

[strong kettle]

This is the issue with cds

They are in limited production right now and i cant get my hands on one i want

im not fighting on ebay

[full fossil]

okay so mint

[dreamy rose]

KDE Neon.

[ashen zodiac]

it was 6 dollars come on

[heavy dust]

you’re ignoring the average consumer

average consumer will always have some sata hardware

[strong kettle]

If i have to wait for auctions to come up so i can buy it wouldnt it be easier if i just typed in to google youtube.com

[heavy dust]

their laptop, their desktop, their consoles

[dreamy rose]

laptops rarely come with SATA Anymore. '

[polar fern]

Average is a statistical thing, not a real person.

[heavy dust]

not everyone upgrades laptops 2 years

[dreamy rose]

yeah and they haven't come with such drives for longer.

[polar fern]

Laptop upgrade cycle is often 4-6 years for the vast majority of people who own them.

[heavy dust]

portable hdds are some way a sata device but not really

[dreamy rose]

they are SATA Drives. just on a tiny board with a USB connector

[polar fern]

Reminds me - gonna buy a new battery for my mom’s Lenovo. Sweet lil machine, just been sitting unused.

[ashen zodiac]

big bulky gaming laptops still do

[dreamy rose]

again. Rarely. some do but most dont.

[ashen zodiac]

if you have a 17" device they almost always still have a sata slot cuz what else are you using the space for

[heavy dust]

probably cooling if it’s a gaming one

[dreamy rose]

the most SATA majority of laptops will have are the M.2 ones.

[polar fern]

External drives have usb 3 adapter chips

[heavy dust]

that’s still sata

it’s also very common to see m.2 sata especially in small pcs

[dreamy rose]

yes. but thats not 2.5 inch SATA which we are talking of rn

[heavy dust]

the interface has nothing to do with form factor

[polar fern]

2.5 sata ssd’s are cool

[heavy dust]

you clearly meant the interface when you said next gen

[dreamy rose]

majority of 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives are literally SATA

[heavy dust]

mSATA is still sata

[dreamy rose]

yes. but we arent talking M.2 SATA Drives

[heavy dust]

boy

[dreamy rose]

most the M.2 Slots can do NVME anyway tho.

[heavy dust]

msata can get smaller than nvme

[dreamy rose]

EMMC =/= SATA. and that's a formfactor thing. its called a M.2 2280 as standard.

you can go down to 2230 on NVME.

[polar fern]

ATA was designed from the outset for moving large amounts of data to/from storage devices. USB is simply an external device connector standard. The two standards are complimentary.

There’s also esata but that has some limitations like cable length

And the connector is not compact like USB.

Before USB the FireWire ieee 1394 standard was pretty much the only game in town for high speed external connectivity.

[forest valve]

Until NVME prices drop to the same degree as standard 1TB SATA drivers they won't be widely adopted as a replacement

[polar fern]

The cache technology also needs to improve.

[forest valve]

I use SATA SSDs on my desktop, but my laptop came with a 512GB NVME in it

[dreamy rose]

new consoles will force devs to drop SATA for games once speeds get so high.

[polar fern]

Processors will likely have sata support for decades tho

[forest valve]

Yea I don't see SATA support being dropped just because Joe Shmo company decided to drop it from their console

[ashen zodiac]

that doesn't depend on cpu. you can add PATA to a modern system witha pci-e card for example, even in the most modern systems

https://www.ebay.com/b/PATA-IDE-EIDE-Disk-Controllers-RAID-Cards-for-PCI-Express-x1/90715/bn_2785072

[polar fern]

Mhm but that would be slow

[dreamy rose]

again another 10 years its gonna be worthless due to new consoles using gen 5 SSD speeds.

[ashen zodiac]

the pci-e slot has a lot of bandwidth. i'm just saying when in 20 years mobo's drop support for Sata you can always add it in later

[fossil frost]

on board SATA is done via the chipset, not the CPU, and even if the chipset didnt have it, you can add SATA via PCI-E and have a SATA controller on the card, and have it be just as fast as if it was in the chipset

[dreamy rose]

[forest valve]

I'm talking AI performing DDOS or taking down networks or physically killing people

[polar fern]

[fossil frost]

misinformation kills people...

[polar fern]

Mhm

[forest valve]

Not directly

[polar fern]

When people act on erroneous information, intentionally directed at them, yes

[forest valve]

That's indirectly

[fossil frost]

how does computer software, something that exists as electrons in a computer... physically, directly, kill people?

[polar fern]

Well all information is indirect if you’re going to interpret it that way

[tiny saffron]

An assist kill is still a kill

[forest valve]

When the military/police begin using AI robots with weaponry we will be at that point

You can laugh all you want

[dull granite]

hmm

[forest valve]

It's closer than you think

[fossil frost]

so that is just as indirect as misinformation.. its not the AI doing the killing, its the people and the hardware doing it directly

[dull granite]

fires?

[polar fern]

The ethical boundaries of new technologies not being sorted out before these technologies become widely available to the general public still has not been addressed by any major company or government as far as I am aware

[fossil frost]

the software is indirectly doing it, same as the information is indirectly doing it

[forest valve]

No, when AI controls the robot it's directly

[fossil frost]

people act directly on misinformation, they are controlled by it

[forest valve]

Still don't give a shit about misinformation next

[fossil frost]

misinformation has already directly killed millions of people over the course of 2020 and 2021 alone

[forest valve]

You won't convince me

[polar fern]

[polar fern]

Yuk

[graceful burrow]

I'm a GAMER

[tiny saffron]

I'll drink water fak yall

[polar fern]

All of those soft drinks actually dehydrate

[fossil frost]

how?

[graceful burrow]

I don't drink mtn dew for hydration

[tiny saffron]

Too sweet and draw water out of your system

[graceful burrow]

Your body uses water to process stuff into useful nutrients
There isn't enough water in soda and stuff to cover that, so you have to use what you've stored
Ergo dehydration

[polar fern]

To flush the amount of dyes & stuff out it uses slightly more water than it actually in the beverage. It’s very similar to drinking seawater.

[fossil frost]

odd, since the drinks themselves are mostly water

[polar fern]

That too

Yeah. 🤣

[timid meadow]

Salt and stuff. Its purposful too. You stay thirsty, drink more, repeat

[fossil frost]

cant remember the last time i drank water... my drink of choice is pepsi max... never been dehydrated

[tiny saffron]

It's tryna dilute the sugars so it draws water from you

[polar fern]

Coffee and tea or not innocent either however, you can add proper dairy creamer and low glycaemic sweetener like agave and it is slightly healthier for you than something like Mountain Dew

[timid meadow]

NoTTS just called ltt Linus Wet Nips kek

[polar fern]

Black coffee and plain tea are actually diuretics, but they don’t contain artificial flavours or dyes which must be filtered by liver or kidneys

And decaffeinated coffee and tea is actually really bad for you because there are traces of bleaching agent in them.

[icy osprey]

Jesus your poor kidneys

[timid meadow]

Bro my wifes guniea pig is gunna delete itself because the fat little fucker wont stop inhaling his hay and choking. If this mf doesnt learn to slow down and chew

[polar fern]

The food & beverage industry is really screwed up

[fossil frost]

why? its water, aspartame and caffeine

[tiny saffron]

Depends on brands, avoid Nestle

[polar fern]

Sure, but it’s really not a good thing to do as we did not evolve to handle these substances

[fossil frost]

we didnt evolve to process the very very heavily processed vegan food that people eat, that they claim is better for you, when in fact, its really not... yet there are millions of people who live on it

[polar fern]

Relating to this is organic farming for manually harvested crops.

I never said anything about vegan. We evolved as omnivores not herbivores.

Many people lack the digestive enzymes to handle a lot of plant based stuff in their diet

[fossil frost]

well aware of it, and i know you didnt, im on about the fact that vegan food is usually heavily processed, yet it is largely fine to eat

we didnt evolve to eat heavily processed plant matter... yet its fine

humans are very adaptable, something we DID evolve to be

[polar fern]

There is a difference between heavily processed foods and foods with a lot of additives.

for example, the protein shakes that I use to get most of my nutrients (because of dietary issues) uses a milk protein base

[fossil frost]

humans didnt evolve to drink protein shakes

[polar fern]

The vegan version of his protein shakes uses pea protein which is fine, but I literally couldn’t digest the stuff properly and it was very upsetting to my gi tract

I didn’t say that we did.

[polar fern]

I’m saying that that’s what I use

[fossil frost]

so you are "eating" a heavily processed manufactured food... with a lot of additives, and are fine?

[polar fern]

It does not have any preservatives or flavour enhancing ingredients

[limpid fern]

well damn, my diet is shit

[dull granite]

fuck florida lmao

[polar fern]

It’s just protein water and vitamins and minerals

@dull granite mhm

[limpid fern]

agreed

[fossil frost]

but you said its "additives" that are bad... not particular chemicals... you generalised all additives

[polar fern]

That’s not at all what I said

[fossil frost]

you did

[polar fern]

I can’t read that it goes off the edge of the screen

Discord best app

[limpid fern]

i see the full message

[polar fern]

I’m not sure why you’re arguing with me about Mountain Dew versus a protein shake. Obviously Mountain Dew is all about flavours that are artificial and sugar and caffeine. Where as the protein shake is nutritional only. They’re literally at two ends of the spectrum.

[fossil frost]

protein shakes have added flavours and binders and sugars, otherwise they would taste like dust, and, look like dust suspended in water... the point im making is, you are taking a stand that you dont understand fully, and are bias because you personally have protein shakes and have deemed them to be fine, because you have them, and have deemed other stuff bad, because its not to your own personal taste

im not saying either is good or bad, im saying that you are being hypocritical

[polar fern]

I am not sure what the hell protein shakes you’re referring to, but the ones that I buy are not like that at all

[fossil frost]

link me to the one you buy

[polar fern]

No

Mountain Dew is not nutritional

[fossil frost]

why? if you are certain you are correct, what do you have to lose? you can only win?

[fossil frost]

again, i never said it was, and now you are trying to deflect

[limpid fern]

this is amusing

[polar fern]

Or I have a massive headache, and I don’t give a shit about arguing with someone on the Internet about my dietary choices or the words that I am using to describe a recreational sugar caffeine beverage versus a nutritional protein shake that I use to stay healthy

[fossil frost]

again, i never said either was good or bad, i said you are a hypocrite, and are continuing to be one too, especially because you wont provide proof that you are right when you think you are right, which usually leads me, and everyone else to be sure that you are wrong... also, having a headache means fuck all, you dont have broken fingers and can easily provide a link to get me to back down

[polar fern]

Before you reply, realise that I am closing the app and putting my phone down because I have said headache

[graceful burrow]

Convenient timing for a headache ig

[limpid fern]

hello aldonist

how do you do fine sir?

[manic torrent]

I mean, my wife is literally studying nutrition and... It is

[graceful burrow]

Don't bother he has headache

[fossil frost]

headache induced by being wrong and being called out for it, and then refusing to back down

[dull granite]

nutritional aka has things like calories, sugars, fat and protein in it?

[tiny saffron]

Just have no head

[dull granite]

i dunno how things like this work in English

[manic torrent]

I mean yeah... Basically anything that's like.... Edible in the slightest

[dull granite]

okay
and montain dew seems like it's that

because it has (at least) sugar etc

[manic torrent]

Yeah, I mean it's objectively full of sugar etc, but all that means is you should moderate your consumption of it in order to have a better balanced diet.

Food is food. It is not "good" or "bad"

[dull granite]

yea sugar isn't very good if you eat it too much

and eating too much sugar is very, very easy

[manic torrent]

Also sugar ain't sugar. There are many types of sugar. Apples are full of sugar.

[dull granite]

I'm not sure if drinking mountain dew everyday is good for your health, also it has a lot of caffeine i think

[manic torrent]

A large portion of the world is addicted to caffeine

I know I am.

[dull granite]

it's like one of most normalized addictions lmao

[timid meadow]

Im addicted to nicotine more then caffine. Havent smoked in a few weeks tho, back to vaping

[wind pulsar]

Damn, the sugar, caffeine, sodium, carbs as well as vitamins must be some kind of foreign particle then

[wind pulsar]

I know I'm not but I know I'm to sugar since my throat gets dry if I don't drink something with sugar lol

[wind pulsar]

Fat and proteins no, otherwise sure

[dull granite]

I'm cold
:C

[manic torrent]

I'm not cold, but it IS cold objectively outside

[dull granite]

not everywhere

[manic torrent]

clearly, I was talking about my outside

[wind pulsar]

Something being not healthy != not being nutritional in case you don't get it btw

An easy example that is nutritionally worthless to us but is considered healthy would be iceberg salad

Mountain dew has plenty nutrients but is considered unhealthy because of obvious reasons

[manic torrent]

something being "not healthy" is also not really useful - it's just stuff. the health comes into it when you're talking about amounts

[wind pulsar]

Something can be overall seen as unhealthy

I largely consider things that have, by nature, way too much of something in it relatively unhealthy

Such as the sugar in cola, mountain dew or whatever

[tired glade]

Isn't it about 100gm in 330ml?

[manic torrent]

indeed - although it's not generally productive to say that a food is "unhealthy" or "healthy".

because health is complex, and most people have nfi

[wind pulsar]

No idea in that scale, but it's 10.6g per 100ml

[manic torrent]

10.6*3.3

[tired glade]

Oh, just 35

[manic torrent]

protip: it's less than 100 🙂

[wind pulsar]

For reference, the stuff I drink has a tenth of that amount of sugar in it and I drink that regularly

Though the fact that I am currently drinking strawberry milk with 9.5g per 100ml doesn't help me

[tired glade]

Food should satisfy you body need, just call it healthy won't indicate much

[manic torrent]

Thing is, in america - it's not just sugar, it's High Fructose Corn Syrup

[tired glade]

Isn't that less glocose?

[wind pulsar]

Tbh, even the ice tea I buy that has I think 6g sugar per 100ml I usually dilute with water

Mainly so I can have more of it

[tired glade]

Just get normal tea and make it in cold drink

[wind pulsar]

It'll turn a 67oz bottle into like two 40oz ones, pretty nice

[manic torrent]

and more fructose, which makes your body sad in large amounts.

[wind pulsar]

The tea leaves I use for my tea are insanely expensive, so I'm not gonna use them to make ice tea lol

[tired glade]

Oh, it scales in different direction

Wait,tea is expensive?

[wind pulsar]

Oh yeah

The ones you are buying is cheap and relatively poor in quality

[manic torrent]

yep. But ironically, it's about farming subsidies. The US DoA decided they wanted to farm ALL THE CORN, so it only ever makes sense to farm corn. This is why cows live on horrible barren feed lots and corn is trucked in for them to eat

[manic torrent]

literal wars were fought over it. Quite a few of them actually.

i think shorts could be cool if channels used them to tease upcoming videos rather than making an ADHD edit of videos already posted

[misty scarab]

and I am going to buy a rasberry pi

[slim barn]

Considered the same but saw somewhere that they're running the ad server of the same dns as the content. So blocking ads would also stop vids.

[misty scarab]

if thats the case I would probably just have DNS filtering

[slim barn]

If the ads and vids use the same DNS that won't help. Can't blame them for doing it. Just annoying.

[misty scarab]

Even if its on the same DNS server, you can filter specific requests

[fossil frost]

if the domain names the ads are being served from are the same, then no, you cant do that with dns filtering, you would need a proxy for that

[misty scarab]

which can probably be done with a pi

#1027757333117415424 is your best bet for resolution

[mint yacht]

Either tech support or #overclocking can help

[shut maple]

yeah I send text in #overclocking

I asked the employee about how did he oc the rams

He told me nothing
I dunno why

[polar fern]

Greed.

Good thing I pulled all my photos off there months ago

[brazen sundial]

Anyone play coc?

[dire pecan]

OOF. My professor is on a so far 30 minute rant about the changes to D&D between when she played and her kids playing now. I'm not sure how it is in any way related to computational mathematics but here we are... I think the appropriate question here is "I got out of bed for this?"

[polar fern]

I have never understood the interest in that whole thing

[dire pecan]

I get enjoying games and such but I personally dont think a college course on math is a place for debate about changes to D&D

[polar fern]

Well games are just math after all

[dire pecan]

Oh okay so she just got to the point. It was about data storage, remembering points, and the value of open data access.

[opal sparrow]

And then they later complain that you don't understand something that they didn't explain because they talked about D&D..

[dire pecan]

Yeah. I think the choice of analogy was very selective

Part of the class walked out about 10 minutes into the rant and decided they were over it.

bought 5800x3D and tested it today. man this chip is alotta fun

[strong kettle]

The 4060 is $299????

[long briar]

AHAHAHAA

[strong kettle]

The 16 gb one is actually decent omg

[long briar]

4060ti is 399

499 for 4060ti 16gb

[strong kettle]

its the same price as a used 3060 in my country

[brittle meteor]

4060 16 GB HAS MORE THAN 4070 TI

ARE YOU KIDDING ME NVIDIA

[strong kettle]

im amazed that nvidia gave us a $299 card

[strong kettle]

So did the 3060 12gb lmao

[brittle meteor]

nvidia gave us a $299 card?

[strong kettle]

4060 🔥🔥

im gonna buy 3 of them

2 msi 1 gigabyte as usual

ITS SO POWER EFFICIENT

[long briar]

ada efficiency is crazy

[full fossil]

4060 imho is a rare nvidia w

[fossil dirge]

I did heard from the Crunchyroll Discord server that NVIDIA is releasing the 4060 at a lower price

But now I’m wondering if I should get the 4060 or the 4080

[full fossil]

That’s a very large performance and price gap

[fossil dirge]

So the 4060 is not powerful than the 4080

[full fossil]

Not even close

[tepid jasper]

because 12 > 12

👍

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

[strong kettle]

no the 3060 vs 3070

[tepid jasper]

ah

[strong kettle]

Crunchyroll

[fossil dirge]

Yes Crunchyroll has their own Discord server

[strong kettle]

i wouldnt trust anime people

[fossil dirge]

Yeah it’s a toxic community

[strong kettle]

Full of people glorifying japan

[long briar]

is ltt any better?

[strong kettle]

Not really

[long briar]

you have to assume everyone is 14 and stupid

Until they prove themselves otherwise

[fossil dirge]

There’s a lot of weebs on that Discord server

[strong kettle]

Its an anime discord server

i wouldnt expect much from them

[fossil dirge]

I agree

[lucid echo]

basically any public server

[molten drift]

Good afternoon all

[teal estuary]

anime people are fine, crunchyroll people are not

[opal sparrow]

Anywhere on the internet

[lucid echo]

Anywhere

[opal sparrow]

[full fossil]

Anime + war history people 🤢

[real schooner]

So crunchy roll folk are what the general public think the whole anime community are like?

[strong kettle]

My F-27 is better than your B15

[full fossil]

No no
You have to use both at the same time

[teal estuary]

they are a very visible part of it, so i dont blame them

[full fossil]

It doesn’t help that the loudest of the community are the people that wear those hoodies

[strong kettle]

those hoodies

[full fossil]

Not common
But boy howdy is it noticeable

[teal estuary]

A something something gao hoodies

[strong kettle]

Not common in asia though

[teal estuary]

also not common at cons, so, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full fossil]

Common enough here in texas that I see at least one a month in public

That and the damn waifu car stickers

[teal estuary]

oh, thats everywhere

[winged yarrow]

Lots of weebs in Texas

[teal estuary]

like, there are some for sure, but its not all that many despite it being a con there aren't that many

[strong kettle]

Girl A is a better waifuu than Girl B !2!1!!1!2!1!1!1!1!!2!2211

[full fossil]

but like can’t y’all have adult waifus

[teal estuary]

speedwagon best waifu, fite me

[full fossil]

No you’re right

[teal estuary]

somtimes it takes a real man to be best girl

[winged yarrow]

I'd prefer a physical waifu with a soul than a 2d waifu.

[strong kettle]

fr

i prefer my girlfriend than some 2d drawing

[winged yarrow]

But that's not the cards I was dealt, so Miku I'm home darling

[gilded quest]

I prefer your girlfriend too

[strong kettle]

what

[gilded quest]

[winged yarrow]

Floopie's girlfriend top tier

[strong kettle]

When i tell people shes from china people say shes a spy

[gilded quest]

Our girlfriend

[winged yarrow]

Joke makes more sense now that we know she was raised by communists

[misty scarab]

I'm at the DMV rn

See y'all in 3 years

[strong kettle]

um

[long briar]

I'm a sp-

[teal estuary]

too generic, gotta find yourself a rare waifu

[winged yarrow]

No, I like generic. It's like that song by Weird Al, "When I look at my wife, I realize she's very plain but that's just perfect for [...] me"

[gilded quest]

Trick is to line up 2 hours before they open

[winged yarrow]

I've found success in driving multiple hours out to the nearest small town

Not only is the line shorter, but the people are happier

[full fossil]

🤨

[winged yarrow]

[winged yarrow]

This was in reference to the "Our girlfriend" not the spy thing

[long briar]

LMAO

No country is actually communist tho

[teal estuary]

instructions unclear, apparently state A cant do anything about state B licenses

[winged yarrow]

Yeah I know, but it's labelled it

[strong kettle]

in china the leaders just appear

[teal estuary]

and everyone else disappears

[winged yarrow]

Except for major league basketball players, they do whatever they want

[winged yarrow]

🤨

[cosmic marsh]

you have not seen the girls at my school lol

[strong kettle]

amazing

[cosmic marsh]

I mean, well, my school isn't a representative sample of the general population but it had me doubting how common these things are

[strong kettle]

at least my school is normal

[cosmic marsh]

well, my school got uniforms, but I was hanging out last week with 6 girls from my class and 5 wore anime hoodies

for context its 40°C outside

[strong kettle]

amazing

[full fossil]

Sounds pretty normal tbh

[tender geyser]

leave it to nvidia to make the 4060 ti look bad in their own charts

[full fossil]

Leave it to them to make the 4060 ti look atrocious and the 4060 to look amazing

[lucid echo]

I have zero context of the 4060ti but I wonder if they have higher margins on the 4060

and the Ti is just one of those products to upsell you to the 4070

[tender geyser]

turns out it gonna be $300

[gilded quest]

I'd pay the extra $100 for a 4070 over a 4060ti 16gb

[lucid echo]

There's a name for that

[gilded quest]

4060ti 8gb for $400 is more reasonable

[full fossil]

Nvidia is really not doing well with their ti’s this gen

[lucid echo]

hot take - 1080ti was the last ti that made any sense

[gilded quest]

Disagree

[tender geyser]

4060 at $300 looks interesting kind of

[gilded quest]

Was that price confirmed?

[full fossil]

Yep

[tender geyser]

hardware unboxed said nvidia told them

[full fossil]

4060: $299, 115W max total power, 30% faster than a 3060

I’m hype as fuck about an nvidia product what is going on

[tender geyser]

to distract you from the ridiculous 70 class and up pricing

[gilded quest]

Anyways
When is A770 gonna drop to $250

[oblique smelt]

Where to add custom part in pc part picker on mobile?

[plush rivet]

[wise tundra]

Hilarious how the server room soundproofing video was released right when we were done at work soundproofing our server room

[light jacinth]

Aside from PiHole, what else should I put on my Pi?

[finite cloud]

what would you like your pi to do?

[idle sigil]

is swapping from pixel 6 pro to 7 pro worth?

[light jacinth]

Improve my network, not sure what else I can do with it

[primal nova]

is bringing 4 (5 if you count the Raspberry Pi Zero), to uni stupid? I got an Asus G15, Acer Switch 5, Asus Slate and Dell Mini 1012 in my pack

I wanna get a triple display setup anywhere, the Dell laptop is more for gag, might drop it

[full fossil]

Bruh

[primal nova]

make it 3 really, Im so used to triple display, its uncomfortable to do anything without it

[umbral pilot]

yea getting used to 3 monitors and trying to downscale is hard

[primal nova]

its not dumb right? ofc I wont do this in every class, just in places where I can do it

[umbral pilot]

bring what to class

[primal nova]

the triple display setup

[umbral pilot]

i would call it excessive not stupid

[teal estuary]

you aren't going to be able to fit three displays in a class

[finite cloud]

in your dorm? sure. in the middle of class? yeahhhhh dont do that

[umbral pilot]

that too^^

[teal estuary]

dorm its fine though

[primal nova]

more like, in a library, those private rooms you can borrow

[finite cloud]

my 13" macbook takes up a lot desk space already

[teal estuary]

yea, id say probably dont for that too

[umbral pilot]

not worth in my opinion

[finite cloud]

well i guess if you really want to carry around 3 monitors with you lol

[teal estuary]

id question when you are going to have that be more worth it vs going back to your dorm/home

[primal nova]

Linus made a video about a triple display adapter for laptops, I dont see how this is any different

[finite cloud]

at most bring a laptop and a laptop sized display. thats all you need in my opinion

[primal nova]

1x laptop, 2x tablet laptops, counts right?

and I stay in uni from 8-9am till 6-8pm, so I'll be there for a while

[finite cloud]

thats just straight up 3 computers

[umbral pilot]

sat in the private room for 10 hours? dont you have class to attend?

[finite cloud]

Questionable ethics

[primal nova]

I do, but my classes at most is like 4 hours total (for context, I drive to uni, morning trip is around 1 hour ~ 25km, trip home is around 1.5 hours ~traffic jams)

[umbral pilot]

so in that case, what do you do with your setup

[primal nova]

I dont wanna sit through traffic so I stay back fairly late till there's practically no cars

[primal nova]

uni work and goofing off when Im done

a bit of coding practice on the side too (python)

[umbral pilot]

i mean while you go an attend your classes. Are you leaving it unattended and going to class or hauling everything around with you

[primal nova]

I set it up after im done with my classes

but I can leave it unattended, security is fairly good there, but I wont risk it

[umbral pilot]

i'd say not worth

[primal nova]

my only problem is the recent asus slate I bought, the N6000 is really....slow

[umbral pilot]

laptop + 1 laptop sized display was the most reasonable thing

[primal nova]

guess I'll drop my old acer switch 5 from my inventory

[umbral pilot]

btw i have a macbook pro, an ipad pro and my work laptop but at uni i only take my ipad and macbook

all i really need

[primal nova]

macbook for heavy tasks, ipad for light tasks and notetaking?

[umbral pilot]

exactly

technically also have a gaming laptop but that is only used on business trips and LAN parties

[primal nova]

my use case was the same, but I wanted to replace my acer switch 5 because of its age, but since I got the new asus slate as the replacement, been considering turning that acer switch 5 into a 2nd screen

it just so happens that I can also turn my asus slate into a 3rd moitor, if i so wished

https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/18/23728149/nvidia-rtx-4060-4060-ti-release-date-price-specs

[neon mesa]

4060ti has good pricing...
If ngreedia didn't put 8GB VRAM and a 128-bit bus

I know there's 16GB but that one has shit pricing

And an 107 die are you kidding me

[stray apex]

Nvidia saw those YouTube videos of the 16gb 3070 and figured that they might as well sell those

[wispy marsh]

I have an idea

4060 with sixteen 512mb chips

That's enough bandwidth

[neon mesa]

Hmm ironically 4060ti might be my only upgrade option

Well i can get ampere but i really prefer sticking to X60 card power consumption

[wispy marsh]

g6x memory is expensive and noVideo is stingy as fuck, we all know that from the gtx 970

[stray apex]

Isn't the only ampere card with more VRAM than your 3060 the 3090

[neon mesa]

Exactly

Well theres 3080 12GB

[wispy marsh]

I heard it's rare and expensive

I've never seen one on shelves myself

[neon mesa]

Used of course

[gilded quest]

🥺 👉 👈

[runic star]

[neon mesa]

And physical pc shops here are cancerous so i always do online shop

[wispy marsh]

[neon mesa]

Like how i got my 3060 at $240 with 1 year warranty

All the way back on december where pricing is a tiny bit worse

[wispy marsh]

[neon mesa]

It's an evga XC too, so a decent model, not some OEM bullshit

Radeon pricing, you'd love it

Used 6600XT, 180 and lower
