usb thumb drives are smaller but aren't as versatile and they are expensive

[full fossil]

fun fact: making a 8GB card a 16GB card costs nvidia like 18-25 dollars

[dreamy rose]

its really a limitation of the 22xx formfactor of our SSDs. 22cm is just to wide for USB ports. for most its s non issue but it becomes one sometimes in odd cases.

[ashen zodiac]

i think u mean 22mm

[dreamy rose]

yeah. my bad.

[ashen zodiac]

also i own kingston usb sticks that render the port next to them useless

this isn't exclusive to enclosures

[dreamy rose]

there are absolutely some stupid USB Stick designs out there

[dreamy rose]

and its not surprising that they don't do it. they are greedy after all.

[ashen zodiac]

oh also many more modern enclosure designs use USB-C now. so you can use the same cable for those that you use to charge phones, headphones etc. so you'll pretty much always have one on you

[dreamy rose]

yeah not people like me.

[ashen zodiac]

you don't use type c at all? my phone and headset both do, i always have a type c cable in my backpack

[dreamy rose]

my phone is about the only thing i own that uses USB C.

laptops stuck on USB 2.0 with Type As

[ashen zodiac]

USB 2?????

[dreamy rose]

fuck sakes acer it was 2012.

[ashen zodiac]

wait what the fuck

i own a 2012 acer and it's got USB 3 ports, 2 of them in fact

midrange too. dualcore i5 and GT710M, not a high power laptop at all

[dreamy rose]

wellnot the Travelmate 5760G i own.

and not the nice one with the GT 630M,

[ashen zodiac]

mine is an Aspire V3 771G

pretty nice laptop overall. 2 Sata slots, 2 ram slots so it takes 16GB of ram

optical drive... i like that laptop

it's not my main laptop, it's just a spare but i still sometimes use it for stuff

my main machine currently is my HP Omen 17 an00xx

[dreamy rose]

mines bog standard with 1 SATA slot and an optical drive which i quite obviously replaced with an Adaptor since i have the 256GB ssd with the 1TB Spinpoint SATA II crap.

[ashen zodiac]

7700HQ, GTX 1060, 120hz screen...

[dreamy rose]

worst offender in this laptop isnt the GT540M, but the fact it comes stock with a SATA II drive on a SATA III port.

[ashen zodiac]

tbh a 5400rpm hdd isn't gonna reach SATA 1 speed nevermind SATA 2

SATA 1 does 150MB/s, most 5400hdd's do about 50

[dreamy rose]

mine was doing 60s to 80's at best

[ashen zodiac]

that means at best you're 220MB/s short of the Sata 2 cap

aka it doesn't matter at all

[dreamy rose]

at least i have a 256GB Teamgroup CX2 replacing it now.

[ashen zodiac]

Sata 2 has a theoretical max of 300MB/s, in the real world (i've tested this @dreamy rose by plugging a modern ssd into a 2008 Mac Pro with Sata 2) is around 260 to 280MB/s

[dreamy rose]

aw what the WD Green is 20 bucks now

[ashen zodiac]

it's also a shit drive

[dreamy rose]

but its pretty cheap. this is in AUD, not a sale either.

[manic torrent]

you can get them with a short cable.

[ashen zodiac]

12 euro? what the fuck?

it's between 20 and 30 euro here

[dreamy rose]

https://www.centrecom.com.au/wd-green-240gb-25-internal-sata-iii-ssd

🤷‍♂️ its just right here

[ashen zodiac]

interesting

my country has 21% VAT added though so that could be part of it

[dreamy rose]

i mean if @manic torrent has a need for cheap replacement SATA drives and somehow doesn't already have some, then grabing a few wouldnt hurt.

[manic torrent]

yeah I have a few hard drives lying around.

[dreamy rose]

Australia adds tax into price. so they probably would only cost like 18 or so with a little tax on it

Tradeoff being our GPU prices there are unhinged.

Cheap as frick sata SSDs vs 1600 USD XTX Reference designs.

[winged ferry]

my iphone 13 is in good condition and has a very healthy batter. it was working just fine last night and it was charging over night. ever since i woke up like 4 hours ago it has not worked and it wont turn on

idk what to do

[ashen zodiac]

you probably have a warranty still, just go to an apple store to get it fixed or exchanged

[dreamy rose]

huh they took down those listings ok

[winged ferry]

but why is it broken

it would rather use my current phone that has all my info on it

[dreamy rose]

doesn't matter buy a new one

[ashen zodiac]

electronics do that sometimes. manufacturing defect, etc. could be anything

[winged ferry]

bruh

[ashen zodiac]

you don't have backups?

[winged ferry]

idk i dont pay for icloud and it bugs me like every 3 days asking me to buy more storage

[ashen zodiac]

that would be a no then. that's on you sadly

[winged ferry]

so im scared my contacts and account info is not gonna be on my apple account

[neon mesa]

1TB PNY drives are available for like $40
and i'd take PNY over the Green WDs anyday

[ashen zodiac]

this is why you make backups

[neon mesa]

WD Green is the definition of shit

[dreamy rose]

Contacts should be on SIM though shouldn't they?

[neon mesa]

contacts can be saved locally, on sim, or cloud

but most people really store it locally because they don't tinker with shit

[dreamy rose]

cheapest 1tb i see here is 65 dollars and its another Teamgroup SATA SSD

[neon mesa]

or through the cloud without intentionally doing it i.e google and their sneaky pop ups

[dreamy rose]

GX2

[ashen zodiac]

Wut? A 1TB Samsung QVO is €70 here

[neon mesa]

lol rip, a PNY Gen 4 drive is like $45 on my place, basically $50 with Vat

[ashen zodiac]

Idk how much that is in upside down currency im on phone rn

[neon mesa]

and in 2021 i bought a WD SN550 1TB for like $120 💀

[manic torrent]

contacts haven't been stored on the sim for years.

[dreamy rose]

89 AUD when not on sale.

[neon mesa]

SSD prices really crashed hard

[winged ferry]

so is there anything i can do to get the phone powered on because believe it or not i actually need it and dont wanna just get a new one

[ashen zodiac]

Thats probably around the same then

[neon mesa]

at this point 1TB HDDs are dead

[dreamy rose]

anything below 4TB on HDDs are dumb purchases at this point.

[neon mesa]

i kinda wanna buy two 1TB SATA drives and run it in RAID 0

[manic torrent]

mehhhhhhhhh

[ashen zodiac]

Eeeeeh I'd trust a 1TB hdd over a shit dramless ssd

[neon mesa]

a DRAMless NVMe drive doesn't matter
they use system RAM

[dreamy rose]

our cheapest 1TB SSD is actually a Gen 3 NVME at 59 dollars. Gigabyte G325E1TB

[ashen zodiac]

Nvme costs more, I mean sata

[neon mesa]

cost like $2 more

NVMe is absolute cheap nowadays

[ashen zodiac]

In freedom land maybe but not here

[neon mesa]

i don't even live there

i live in southeast asia right now

[ashen zodiac]

But you use dollars when referring to currency?

[neon mesa]

because everyone knows dollars

[dreamy rose]

an 8TB Samsung QVO for only 730/700 AUD?

[neon mesa]

when looking at it at AUD/TB perspective, that's only like 90 AUD/TB which is cheap

it's 58USD

[winged ferry]

my mom says she can drop my phone off at tmobile today to get looked at since thats where we got it, what do i need to give them? my passcode and apple id info i would assume

[neon mesa]

but yeaa i don't feel comfortable putting all my eggs in one basket with a giant 8TB SSD

[dreamy rose]

@manic torrent catch a good deal on an 8TB SSD, these things don't normally come that cheap lmao. never run out of storage again with a couple of these.
https://www.centrecom.com.au/samsung-870-qvo-mz-77q8t0bw-8tb-25-sata-iii-25-ssd

[manic torrent]

meh, don't need that much storage

[dreamy rose]

i saw that the sabrents were like. thousands then this being only 700.

up to 108 dollars off? that makes it a way better buy since its eligible

[neon mesa]

but eh to be fair, it's a QVO compared to sabrents

QLC

while sabrents got TLC

[ashen zodiac]

i own a few 1TB QVO's, the downside is that after around 15GB it drops to 80MB/s

writes i mean

[neon mesa]

QLC moment

and lower endurance
though SSD endurance nowadays are so big you can't use them up in your lifetime

unless you're a very heavy user

[manic torrent]

confirmed, I am very heavy

[dreamy rose]

the cheaper higher capacities get the happier i am. just means something like a 2TB SSD could possibly drop below 100 bucks

[neon mesa]

at my current usage, my 600TBW drive would run out of endurance after... 50 years of usage

i use like 12TB writes per year

[dreamy rose]

out of the 200TBW on my CX2 i've already used 3.4 TBW. its been powered on for 3183 hours.

[neon mesa]

my SN550 got 24TB and 10k hours

oh and thank god i got the SN550 before WD's sneaky controller change

meaning this drive performs like a beast for a 2021 drive

but more modern budget SSDs still beat it to the punch

[dreamy rose]

i honestly cant wait to ditch SATA entirely and live on NVME.

[neon mesa]

the problem right now
motherboard makers are stingy with m.2 slots and chipset PCIe lanes

and consumer CPUs have limited PCIe lanes left over

[fossil frost]

hmmn... ive had 2 drives in my PC since i built it, the only 2 drives that have ever been in it... yet the C drive has been powered on for less time than the D drive 😄

apparently, my C drive has been on for 3498 hours, and my D drive has been on for 4005 hours...

[neon mesa]

you used the D drive somewhere else i assume

[fossil frost]

no, both been in the machine since new

[full fossil]

can i talk about a question about windows installation?

[dreamy rose]

i'd like to get a 1TB SSD for this thing but it feels like a waste of 65 + bucks.

[neon mesa]

i am running low on my 1TB but i am still saving to ditch this fricking 2200G

[dreamy rose]

i have a cool 289 left on my Spinpoint. i have breathing room however its just ass slow at what 100MB/s

[neon mesa]

lol same drive

and congrats, you also got the SN550 that is not controller swapped

how you be having more power on count than me but less than half power on hours

[dreamy rose]

idk if its Drives or VRAM being DDR3 but GTA 5 kinda doesnt load in the Map fast enough

[neon mesa]

specs?

used to got that map loading issue, solved by upgrading from my stinky vega 8

still got that issue on FiveM due to CPU bottleneck

[fossil frost]

GTA5 is known to suck balls for load times, it used to be even worse before some modder found an easy fix, and then rockstar stole his fix (by stole, i mean, they saw what he did and offered to pay him a reward for finding it, even though they didnt need to do)

[dreamy rose]

i5 2450M, GT 540M DDR3 1GB, 8gB 2x4 DDR3 @665.

[neon mesa]

yeah i think pretty much all three is why

[dreamy rose]

true.

[neon mesa]

not that loading, the map missing when driving and such
and that modder only found the fix for online

single player loading is actually really fast

[dreamy rose]

i literally see the floating props and drive on thin air.

only time they load in textures is if i crash or slow down.

[neon mesa]

it's usually either slow hard drive, GPU or CPU
there isn't really anyway to find out which is which

though you can use stuff like rivatuner to see what has the most load

[dreamy rose]

since its pretty much everything anyway

[neon mesa]

least you can do is remedy it by upgrading the weakest end

[dreamy rose]

sadly this is a 2012 mid range model and MXM didnt exist yet.

[neon mesa]

wait is it a laptop

[dreamy rose]

yeah.

[neon mesa]

m CPU and m GPU

oh yeah then you are stuck

[dreamy rose]

i need 2300 dollars for a perfect upgrade,

[fossil frost]

perfect is relative.. if you HAD 10 grand to spend on an upgrade without feeling guilty about spending 10 grand, you would 100% be able to do a 10 grand perfect upgrade

[neon mesa]

you'd need 1000 USD really
there are good lenovo legion laptops with 3060/5600
and that's before Zen 4/ Intel 13th Gen/RDNA 3/Ada

soo prices probably gone down

sure not that perfect ugprade but FAR better

[dreamy rose]

most people would buy the wildly overpriced 8-9k laptop and kit it out with a big storage SSD

[neon mesa]

that GT540m is as fast as a GT730
actually i think as slow is a more fitting one

[timid meadow]

When your buddy is tryina tell you his computer issue and starts with
"so ive been getting green screens"
Mfw friend who doesnt know tech is on a dev build and doesnt even know it

[neon mesa]

oh i used to be a windows insider lmao

and combined with me not knowing my old RAM kit was faulty
green screen is a daily thing

[timid meadow]

Fortunately his pc is small and hes only like a block away from me. Ill bring it home sometime next week and fix it up for him

[neon mesa]

back then i had to share my PC with my siblings before i spent so much on upgrades it essentially became mine
so i used "manually initiated crash" to discourage them from playing
evil yes, but i don't care, they don't know

[dreamy rose]

AKA getting off the friggin dev builds

[neon mesa]

aren't you stuck on insider builds if you don't have windows.old anymore

meaning a clean install is needed

[timid meadow]

Hes using a 3200g because of the green screens on his i9 9900k and this mf barely knows the difference between the chips. Im like bro i gotchu just be a homie and pay what you can for my help

[neon mesa]

so you got his 9900k and got paid for the help

[fossil frost]

i would spec out a dual socket epyc system 😄

[neon mesa]

one epyc already eats all the budget

[timid meadow]

Im probably just gunna ask him to let me keep his 3200g system instead of paying me for fixing the 9900

[fossil frost]

i would either go dual 64core or 1 of the new 128 core 😄

[neon mesa]

96 cores

those 128 ones aren't there yet

[timid meadow]

3200g gpu side will eventually die anyway. Major problem with those chips but the sku didnt get much attention in general

[neon mesa]

the 3200G got worse reliability than my 2200G?

because my Vega 8 is still kicking to this day, albeit no longer actively used as i have a dGPU now

[dreamy rose]

i'm waiting on seeing 32 core desktop chips. pointless yes but fun also yes.

[neon mesa]

more cores isn't happening on desktop

[fossil frost]

tbh, for home use, 96 cores and 128 are practically the same. 8 cores will ever get used, and the rest will just sit there scratching their arses 😄

[neon mesa]

core count have frozen and most program can't even utilize 8 to the fullest yet

[timid meadow]

Yes. Ive seen so many people, me included, have gpus die on the 3200g. Making it essentially useless if your a new user (aka the main market for the chip)

[neon mesa]

most people is still on 6 core

and AMD hasn't gone above 16 core since Zen 2

[dreamy rose]

me on 2 slowly dying:

[timid meadow]

I like my 6 core still. My r5 3600 is still solid enough

[neon mesa]

we're going to be stuck on another intel 4 core era but with 16 cores

but not like we need more than 16 for a long time

[dreamy rose]

bro what kind of 0.84% of people are playing steam with Other RAM.

[neon mesa]

and the 13900k is basically an 8 core too because the other 16 are e cores

[timid meadow]

Vms?

[neon mesa]

someone in this server once said they got 7GB of RAM on a PHYSICAL system

[fossil frost]

running in some sort of sandbox where steam is unable to be certain of exactly how much ram they have

[timid meadow]

Do 1gb sticks exist in modern ram?

[neon mesa]

the system is not exactly modern

[fossil frost]

DDR4? no, i dont think so

DDR3, yes

[dreamy rose]

DDR5 minimum is 4. good riddance Fuck 4GB

[neon mesa]

#tech-chat-1 message
found it

7GB of DDR2

[dreamy rose]

doesn't DDR3 have 512MB sticks or am i dreaming that i saw that

[timid meadow]

Im on 2x8 now. Ill jump to 32gb when i up my cpu. Possibly around Christmas. Score a deal on a used 5800x or something

[fossil frost]

yeah, 512 was the minimum stick size i think

[neon mesa]

i got from 8 to 16 to 32 and i'm still stuck on my 2200G

[timid meadow]

Oh okay its still weird but its old enough to make some kind of sense ig

[neon mesa]

not really

to make that 7GB system you'd need 3 sticks and all have different capacity

[dreamy rose]

1x4 1x2 and 1x1

[neon mesa]

it's the pinnacle of frankenstein PC

[crystal pike]

still on two as well

[fossil frost]

you can do it with 4 sticks. 3x2 + 1x1

[crystal pike]

Chrome takes ages to load but its fine

[timid meadow]

Said it made sense, didnt say id do it

[dreamy rose]

old Intel or a Pentium?

[neon mesa]

my laptop is a 2 core 4 thread too

[crystal pike]

old intel

[neon mesa]

newer laptop i3s are still on dual core like my 1005G1

[dreamy rose]

bet it better than my Sandy Bridge. more often than not I'm correct

[crystal pike]

Haswell, U series processor so no i dont think so

It gets the job just fine

[neon mesa]

better actually, haswell is 4th

[dreamy rose]

thats 4th i'm on 2nd

[fossil frost]

my sons "test laptop" that i gave him to see if he could be responsible enough to actually be allowed a real computer, is/was a core2duo dual core 2.0ghz (no idea what model), 4gb ram, 512gb ssd, running windows 11... its.... slugish.. but it plays youtube and roblox just fine, so hes happy to have that at his mums, and has a 7700k + 16gb ddr4 + rx6600xt with a 1tb ssd at my house 😄

[crystal pike]

Been thinking about picking up an 8th gen laptop but it doesnt seem worth it

[neon mesa]

6-9th gen are all shit

[dreamy rose]

14NM go brrrr

[neon mesa]

used ones still have inflated prices for their perf

[fossil frost]

no, 6/7th gen are peak of that whole range

[crystal pike]

8th gen are quad cores but still slow

[fossil frost]

yeah, tell me about it, trying to get him a fucking 7700k that doesnt cost the same as a 12th gen... that was some fucking hard work (motherboard and ram cost practically nothing, so i wasnt going to swap out the whole system)

[neon mesa]

4th gen got that old product treatment so it's cheap
5th is forgotten
6th to 9th all still pretty pricy and perform like shit
10th is where things start to get good

[fossil frost]

10th/11th gen are space heaters... they put out more heat than they do information 🙂

[neon mesa]

11th is a space heater
10th was decent

[dreamy rose]

any thoughts on Intel "planning" to ditch 16 and 32 bit support on future chips entirely?

[neon mesa]

10th is also not inflated in price for their perf
10100f is like 50 bucks now

[fossil frost]

16 should have gone a long time ago

[night heron]

6000 -> 10000 are all basically identical ipc with varying core counts, frequencies, and cache amounts

[neon mesa]

16 is already ditched for decades

[fossil frost]

and they managed all of that by just pushing more watts through it

[neon mesa]

64-bit chips can only run 32-bit at the lowest

[dreamy rose]

it lets us run FreeDOS though.

[fossil frost]

FreeDOS is emulated, it doesnt run natively

[dreamy rose]

and well it begins booting and such.

[fossil frost]

and the stuff that does run natively, is the 32bit dos stuff, with a 16bit emulation layer for the 16bit apps

[green mortar]

Just spent 3 hours trying to fix an issue a windows update caused

[dreamy rose]

i doubt that, it runs on hardware of the time too

[neon mesa]

64-bit platforms can only run 32-bit natively with 16-bit running on compatibility mode so it's basically ditched

32-bit however is slowly getting rid off as well

[dreamy rose]

you are probably thinking of DOSBOX which is software emulation.

[neon mesa]

32-bit programs also use less memory

but 64-bit is faster

so choose your poison i guess

but yea most programs are small enough they don't see any advantage using 64-bit

so might as well save memory

[dreamy rose]

idk how many apps would break if 32 bit support was struck from new CPUs

[neon mesa]

not straight up break
they will be slower

[dreamy rose]

likely a really bad idea. should remain a white paper for the forseeable future

[neon mesa]

like how now we can still run 16-bit programs but you'd need to run it in compatibility mode

and it will be slower than native

[dreamy rose]

thats no laptop thats a PS4

[neon mesa]

Man 4070 would have been perfect for me if it's just $100 cheaper

The fact it only needs one 8pin and has same VRAM as my 3060

Since the 4060ti is utter garbo

And RDNA 3 has trash power consumption

[dreamy rose]

7600 sells better anyway

[polar fern]

6650 xt tho

[neon mesa]

Hopefully the absolute train wreck sale makes nvidia drop the price

[dreamy rose]

they are too busy selling AI

[polar fern]

It’s not “intelligence” it’s fancy copy/paste/

[dusty rune]

huh

[polar fern]

Actual “ai” would not run circular arguments full of incorrect info

[dusty rune]

you know chatgpt isnt the only form of AI, right?

also, selecting information is still a form of intelligence

[polar fern]

I’m aware of all of that

It’s not “ai”.

[dusty rune]

especially since it can write you essays in seconds

[green mortar]

Worst part is I don’t even know what I did to fix it so if this happens again I’m probably gonna have to do it all over again

[polar fern]

It can pour text in to a sack, yes.

[dusty rune]

then what is ai

[deft vortex]

should iget

[faint schooner]

We will see

I have a feeling it's gonna be very similar results

[deft vortex]

idk at all so

[polar fern]

@deft vortex for what?

[deft vortex]

gaming

also does it matter what motherboard i get ssd wise

[dusty rune]

oh, most likely

[polar fern]

To store games on?

[deft vortex]

yes, and other random stuf

[deft vortex]

also ram wise

[polar fern]

You don’t need to quote yourself.

[dusty rune]

unless you OC, no

[deft vortex]

you can overclock ram?

[dusty rune]

well.. yea

[deft vortex]

i dont plan on overclocking

[dusty rune]

thats what XMP is, but 99% of motherboards can do that

[polar fern]

Pc part picker should be a good starting point.

[dusty rune]

so, to answer your question, it doesnt matter all that much

[deft vortex]

[dusty rune]

most modern motherboards have pcie 4.0 on the top slot

[dusty rune]

overkill

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[dusty rune]

well, my 6700xt is obsolete now

gotta upgrade

[tepid bolt]

How does it do with RT off

[slim barn]

Out of curiosity. Does that mean they won't have tested their own game at 60fps or higher?

[tepid bolt]

They probably tested their game with DLSS3 enabled

[polar fern]

Imagine still using twitter

[tepid bolt]

So they didn't notice it was actually running like shit and they were just looking at the fps counter

Idk the game looks pretty below average compared to other AAA releases idk why it's so hard to run.

[slim barn]

Common sense to me would be to check Steams surveys for the most commonly used GPU and made sure it runs at at least 60fps on it. Maybe not from a quality pov but definitely from a marketing one.

[low rain]

im boutta build a weird ass pc

[wild snow]

Yo that floor Linus at 12:26 in the AMD tech upgrade is prime meme material

EXTREMELY dumb question but asking just to be safe:
if i remove my hdd and ssd from pc i wanna sell

can next user ,after he puts his own hdds/ssds, get any data i previously had on that system or is it impossible ?

[fossil frost]

so in short. no, if you remove all storage media from the pc (hard drives, ssds, nvmes, flash storage like usb drives and sd cards), there is no way to recover your data from that pc, because your data is stored on those storage media that you still have

[deft vortex]

what motherboard for i5 13600k

do we think that something like this. once it actually has 3 24" monitors on it, with that desk clamp... would just tip forward and rip its way out of the desk? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285257766199

[gilded quest]

ehhh

If it were me, I'd get 3x single monitor arms @fossil frost

[fossil frost]

i already have 3 monitors that are ever so slightly out of alignment with each other, even though they are the same monitor, so i would prefer to have 1 single stand that holds all 3

[gilded quest]

I've never been able to align perfectly with those types of stands

[tired glade]

Lol

[fleet willow]

[ebon otter]

I looked at the steam hardware survey and not even 1% of people have discreet 4000 seires GPUS.

[stray apex]

yeah, don't expect to see them until 4060 drops

[fossil frost]

not even 1% of people have something that is very overpriced, and hasnt been out as long as everything else on the survey? shocking

[ebon otter]

That’s my point

[ebon otter]

Isn’t the 6700 better though?

[stray apex]

is radeon
loss by default

[ebon otter]

But they have more vram and better cost to performance.

[stray apex]

nvidia sold nearly as many 3090s to gamers as amd sold 6700xt

[ebon otter]

Amd Gpu’s are good though

[stray apex]

that's great, and it's not good enough to get them major market share gains unless they stop launching shit and actually market their stuff

also they need to catch up to nvidia in software features

[tired glade]

Lol,6700 is growing

What % for 6800xt?

Oh, 6600xt has the same % as 4090

6800xt arrived on list, 0.23% in a month

[calm swan]

for gaming yeah its amazing

[ebon otter]

All I do is game. That’s why I buy amd

[stray apex]

There was a bug last month so change is probably wrong

[tired glade]

Wrong in what direction?

[stray apex]

I think gtx 1060 was overrepresented

So everything else should go up

[fossil frost]

theres also about 9 different versions of the 1060, 5 of which are a 960, which its self was a 860

[gilded quest]

Watt

[fossil frost]

nvidia rereleased it a bunch of times, progressively making it worse

[calm swan]

yeah then its good

except for 6500 and 6400

[ebon otter]

Plus RT isn’t that great for the performance hit

[fossil frost]

you could say the same for the nvidia xx50 cards... they are about as good as just drawing the frames yourself on a pad of paper and making them into a flick book

[calm swan]

at the price of the xx50 cards you might asw get a 6650xt or 6700

[neon mesa]

4050 might be less than 200 so you're not getting a 6650xt at that price

considering the 4060 would already be at 300

[ebon otter]

At least the xx50 and 6500 can play games. Not well but it’s better than most iGPUs

[acoustic pond]

worst case there is minesweeper

[neon mesa]

the 3050 is actually more playable than 6500xt at least

still not a good card but not as bad as a 6500xt

[acoustic pond]

and here I am with my base 1080 still and just happy lol

[neon mesa]

6500xt not just have the shitty 4GB version, it also lacks encoder and runs on4 pcie lanes

[ebon otter]

if the price goes down to ~75 in the future it will be Great for the price

[neon mesa]

by the time 6500xt is 75 you can get a much better card for 10-20 more

[ebon otter]

enless you going ultra buget

[neon mesa]

it's not a good card at 75 in the future, i mean the RX 590 beats the 6500xt in some games and it's 80 bucks NOW

[ebon otter]

or if your a kid and dont have ajob you could save up 75

[ebon otter]

true

[acoustic pond]

just mow a bunch of lawns if you have a lawn mower lol

[ebon otter]

what about used 50$

[neon mesa]

by the time 6500xt is $50 kind of dirt cheap, there would be much better card at that price
like the GTX 750ti beaten by iGPUs

hell even 1650s are getting beaten by iGPUs now

[ebon otter]

the 6500 xt was good when gpus were rare and expencive in 2020

[neon mesa]

it was never a good card, it was bad even in that era because THAT was also raised in price

and you need PCIe 4.0 to run 6500xt, and budget PCs don't have it

[neon mesa]

oh and the RX 5500XT is as fast as the 6500xt and is cheaper 💀

[vapid zephyr]

(And has encoders)

[neon mesa]

and runs on x8

and doesn't have the shitty 4GB model

people thinking they're galaxy brains asking chatGPT if something is generated by chatGPT without knowing how these LLMs works

that professor that accused students of using chatGPT is a famous example

but people still believes it works on twitter too

[modest pewter]

Lol big facts the platform is only as good as it's user. Also Bad code stacked on top of bad code doesn't make better code.

[neon mesa]

it's not generated by chatGPT

[zenith grotto]

Was it worth it to get discord nitro

[neon mesa]

worth is subjective

[zenith grotto]

Or did i waste my money

[neon mesa]

it all depends on whether you like the features or not

personally, i like it

[fossil frost]

no

[fossil frost]

yes

[acoustic pond]

isnt that going to be done in batches with the users who been on the platform the longest first?

[graceful burrow]

No

[acoustic pond]

be surprised how many married couples arnt happy, and has it really been about 20 years?

[jaunty compass]

why not

[graceful burrow]

Worse performance and battery life

[split delta]

feels like 20 years lol

[low rain]

whats the best cpu for gaming and also coding for under $200

[jaunty compass]

You are aware i can still run games at 800p if i want to

[graceful burrow]

Then what's the point

[jaunty compass]

better color accuracy and higher resolution for emulation or older games

[fossil frost]

no... they have actually lived together for about 20 years, they lived together at yvonnes parents house when they were quite young and have been together for a long time

[graceful burrow]

Me when I wanna play gamecube for 1 hour instead of 4

[acoustic pond]

oh yea thats right, I was going on via married wise

[split delta]

it was a callback to the moment in the video when they both said "feels like 20 years"

[acoustic pond]

I was impressed how Yvvones desk space turned out at the end, looked really good, especially with those floral graphics on the wall

[jaunty compass]

i carry around a huge battery bank anyway 🗿

[fresh flower]

I'll be honest it's gonna take some getting used to calling her Emily but nothing but love for her

[tawny merlin]

Someone's not keeping up with the Twitters

[gilded quest]

Mines been pretty flawless....aside from Hyundai-Kia immobilizer stuff lol

[pliant karma]

first the left back passenger door lock engages and doesn't want to unlock while the was open....then it happened to all 3 other doors too

[dreamy rose]

thats why TikTok needs to be banned period

[pliant karma]

so I had to open the panel and mess around on all 4 doors until I was able to manually get the door mechanism to unlock itself

[gilded quest]

I agree

Edit: /s

its not tiktok's fault they cant help themselves from making a shit car

you think people didnt do stupid shit before tiktok?

i dont like tiktok, but it's for other reasons such as it's a chinese surveillance app

[fresh flower]

you clearly were not old enough for vine

[dreamy rose]

o ffs did Mutahar just call it the Rogue Ally

[neon mesa]

everytime i feel insecure about my general intelligence i remember tiktok and feel better knowing the majority is more idiotic

[gilded quest]

I don't care for TikTok cause I don't have the attention span of a gnat and 30 second videos of people yelling into their phone ain't it

[tepid jasper]

tiktok is just shit vine tbh

[gilded quest]

Never used it lol

[dreamy rose]

Vine you had to be creative in like 7 seconds of video

TikTok people wanna turn it into Vertical youtube

[pliant karma]

I haven't been on tiktok for a while. Lol I just upload my flight sim content there and forget about it

[neon mesa]

i use youtube shorts, and thanks to youtube's algorithm it's full of good content from youtubers i already watch often
but those occasional dumb content do still come up sometime but just do don't recommend channel and gone

youtube shorts is overall superior

oh and they added the ability to actually move the timeline, automatic W

[dreamy rose]

i hate shorts too, if i see one i comment 0:00 and watch it in ahem. a regular way

[neon mesa]

i only watch long form on certain channels/type of videos
can't blame the attention span entirely considering a lot of long form video is artificially stretched to 8 mins and includes a lot of filler words

all in the name of the mid roll ads

[plucky sable]

I just wish there was a three way toggle

Only long form only shorts or both

I really don't want to ever see a short. It just hogs up a spot that I don't care about

[dreamy rose]

as long as you stay away from clickbait with Miniladd and people like mr bossman fuck the world you shouldnt find those problems.

[neon mesa]

my youtube shorts is filled with educational content, chess, and piano, and occasional entertaining content from high quality channels like vivaladirtleague

god the name looks awfull without capitalization

the youtube algorithm is the single reason why youtube shorts is better than tiktok

[wraith sonnet]

brett gets annoying very randomly, one minute it's fine the next he's clickbating for over a minute for no reason.

[dreamy rose]

i will NEVER call him MrBossFTW. the fact Michael called his ass out and that's what he called him.

[pliant karma]

my shorts feed is just a lot of fpv drones, cameras, and film stuff so in a way it is sorta tamed. Maybe that one car video since I have been watching more of those recently.

[neon mesa]

oh and i'm also rather indecisive and shorts kinda helps with that
before that i used to just mindlessly scroll the home page

if something is interesting but not enough for me to click, watch later you go only to not be touched for few weeks

[dreamy rose]

if i dont have anything to watch i listen to music.

[plucky sable]

Ah I don't have the time to just scroll homepage. Usually if I open YouTube I just want to go to one of my subscriptions and see what new content they have

[pliant karma]

I do also have an extension that just loads YT Shorts into a whole ass video but that is just from my browser, I never really watch shorts on my phone.

[dreamy rose]

if theres a short you want to watch comment 0:00 and click it.

[neon mesa]

i had my google account since i'm like 10? that's 8 years ago
so it's already chugged full of subscription including from when i'm more immature and my subscription page is a hellhole lmao

[plucky sable]

Yeah you got to clean that up

[plucky sable]

I've had my Gmail account since they were first open in beta lol

[tepid jasper]

yes hence tiktok is just shit vine

[pliant karma]

ayyy 74 gear watcher here too lol

[neon mesa]

i'm big on aviation

yeah there's no way i'm cleaning 651 subscriptions

[dreamy rose]

my subs are basically just Tech, VR, Linux, SFMs and Animations, Memes, Jimmy Here, Daily Dose, the odd Slow Mo guys, Tom Scott and and Nile Red. i like seeing him do things like make alcohol out of toilet paper.

[pliant karma]

371 for me, I've been purging some as of recent

some channels are inactive but I stay just for the day they upload again like stevemre

[neon mesa]

one thing i wish is a feature, is on what video we pressed subscribe on

so i know why the fuck i'm even subscribed to half of these channels

[still light]

I subscribe to every single channel I watch a video from cause it costs me zero dollars and if it helps someone else. It's the least I can do.

[neon mesa]

subscription means jackshit
only views gives creators money

[still light]

Don't tell me what to do dad.

[neon mesa]

the function of subscription is of course to notify users to watch so they get recurring views hence money

if you don't watch well there is no money

[still light]

Subscribers HAS to play a part in it all tho

At least for being more noticed or something

[neon mesa]

subscription hasn't meant anything since youtube makes algorithm takes priority over subscription

and that has been years ago

[dreamy rose]

all it does is make the highest number decide if they like Corpos or Creators.

[still light]

How's everyone enjoying the new AMD Upgrade video lmfao

[slim yacht]

its basically used just to unlock play button and monetization at mininum requirement and then it doesnt matter much anymore.

Lmfao they're a cute couple. I liked Linus getting sarcastic about the Pot Handle cover thing haha

LTT has changed in a way that I actually like it more than ever

He said he wasn't comfortable selling pride merch since he isn't queer himself so he wants to keep it to bonus bin items since that's free

At least if I'm remembering some WAN shows ago correctly

Tbf saying it respectfully in order to explain a situation isn't derogatory in any manner. More so informing someone of the situation.

linux user stereotype has a reason to exist afterall

[full fossil]

oh yea i'm a walking stereotype too

[neon mesa]

and i know one of them in this exact server

[full fossil]

probably many many many

i went down that pipeline. started using linux and came out as trans 6 months later ;p

[neon mesa]

as long as it's not preaching linux on my face even though i already said i don't like it
like some people

[full fossil]

i used to be that "some people" and hate looking back on old messages of myself

most people grow out of that i think

[rugged tartan]

I'll try to explain it in a friendly and a way that woknt make it sound rude

Emily who was ||anthony|| came out trans an hour ago. I support this move for her big time

I hate saying it like that but it helps. Give context

hahahha yeahh

I'm happy for her! She always was my favorite before and now I'm even more happy.

[wraith sonnet]

search for me mentioning "train" in this chat for a peak at what I actually have going on.

Glad I came here to find out cause I was using her dead name earlier when talking about how she was my favorite for a long time. Haha. That's awesome news tbh.

Now I know. That's important.

[rugged tartan]

We need Emily back for a big video of her own when she is ready. I Would watch it all 100%

Like this is me being honest as fuck

[old smelt]

this news definitely came out of left field

I wish them good luck and hope to see them back on LTT videos

[rugged tartan]

News like this is unexpected though. It's good she said it now and not later

[wraith sonnet]

I'll be honest the original intel extreme tech upgrade was a pretty big peak into not being particularly comfortable into their own body

[old smelt]

I didn't see this coming at all

[rugged tartan]

Nobody did, huge surprise for all of us

[old smelt]

but I understand the mental anguish that comes with hiding a secret like that

[wraith sonnet]

I'm only less blindsided because a coworker that was extremely masculine came out recently and it turned into a whole thing.

[still light]

My old roommate is trans and she was SO worried I would be judgey when she came out. I was like "if it's who you are why would it even bother me" and that made her confidence go sky high. It's been pleasant watching her grow into who she really is.

[rugged tartan]

Fuck this is the most heartwarming shit I have seen in this server and I am not trans or anything like that.

Or alternatively a lot of people that are too stupid to understand "be excellent to eachother" from bill and teds

[tepid jasper]

send help

[rugged tartan]

It's like 2am and I'm tryna adjust to what I just listened to

[still light]

What's her YouTube channel?

[neon mesa]

amateur, it's 8AM and i haven't slept all night, lmfao BF gonna be pissed

[rugged tartan]

Emily Young

[plain dome]

[hard mirage]

No, they are willfully stupid at this point, it's their moral failure to misunderstand basic shit

[rugged tartan]

F

We Stan Emily at a costs no matter what

[slim creek]

too wordy dumb it down for me

[wraith sonnet]

deliberately trying to be as offensive as possible was a pretty high tier meme not too long ago

[still light]

It's actually super cool to be supportive of people tbh.

[mental zodiac]

Respect the LGBTQ+ homies or I'm gonna identify as a f---ing problem

[tepid jasper]

you were too late to comment so i died

[wraith sonnet]

being nice to someone takes less time and energy than being rude

[plain dome]

awh man

[rugged tartan]

You'll be was/were alive bucko

[slim creek]

I mean you can be rude with one word so uh

[hard mirage]

I call it a moral failing because these people put dumb ideologies ahead of supporting literal living people, transphobia is being too generous to those people. If they're transphobic their morals have failed as they put ideology before people.

[still light]

She's not gonna host videos.... absolutely not. She better. She has some of the BEST videos on LTT.

[vapid zephyr]

A lot of the people whining are also older folks. They were raised as they are and you will not be able to change previous generations no matter what you do 🤷‍♂️

[stray apex]

She said that she's taking a step back until she's comfortable hosting again

[hard mirage]

Based on the comments I more than understand, there are a lot of morally subterranean people

People are just actually terrible

[old smelt]

I look forward to more emulation videos from Emily

[still light]

I'm watching it now. I just hope she gets to where she needs to, to get back to being in the videos. She's been my favorite since she was brought to the channel. Something about how she talks and explains stuff has always been the best. Her witty jokes and stuff is hilarious.

[neon mesa]

nintendo DMCAd valve over dolphin emulator few hours ago

[vapid zephyr]

90% of those are just kids that are deliberate assholes for memes and clout and are better ignored and reported, people raging over those just don't get it

[slim creek]

anyone here know about farket?

[hard mirage]

BRO OKAY WE CALL CELEBRITIES WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT, P DIDDY CHANGED HIS NAME LIKE 30 TIMES AND WE WENT WITH IT.

[wraith sonnet]

I more hope they don't take the old videos down for whatever reason, damn useful reference material

[slim creek]

im in friend groups with tons of them

[hard mirage]

This is a person making a 1 time change

We called pitbull Mr worldwide because he said it once

[old smelt]

this i'm aware of, but it was partly Dolphin's fault for including the Wii secret key in their source code

[still light]

I'd imagine they might change the descriptions and titles to her name.

[vapid zephyr]

Uhuh

[hard mirage]

As much as Nintendo sucks (and they do), this was a oopsie by dolphin

[old smelt]

[vapid zephyr]

Oh yeah, I know tons of people that do as well

[neon mesa]

fuck nintendo and their gremlin lawyers

[rugged tartan]

We'll See, it will take time, video outros will he impossible without reuploading..

[wraith sonnet]

I'll be honest snoop never said to stop calling him snoop lion and people still call him dog for some reason.

[mental zodiac]

That's what I'm thinking, grabbing old videos with Emily and rewriting the captions on them. Might gonna be a huge process considering there's so many videos with her in them.

[old smelt]

I grew up seeing Dolphin progress from 1 fps with no sound, to a wonderful emulator that runs on mobile phones, it was definitely a wild 20 years

[still light]

Unless she's OK with leaving what's there, there and just changing any future videos. That'd be cool too.

[wraith sonnet]

is it still up in the linux repositories?

[rugged tartan]

I can kinda see that happening

[neon mesa]

sadly i still need to give nintendont money if i wanna emulate it
though rather not play the game than pirate and continue the emulate = piracy stigma

[slim creek]

is there a way to make old games look modern without mods

[rugged tartan]

Up scaling can help

[full fossil]

Who's Emily?

[hard mirage]

Which is fine, people think trans folks are sensitive flowers, like they haven't been though deep internal discussions, they understand getting it wrong because they've felt like they've been called wrong for YEARS. It's an issue when you don't learn

[old smelt]

I think so, the main github repo is still up

[wraith sonnet]

if you drink Nvidia's Kool-Aid yes

[vapid zephyr]

Anthony who's come out as trans

[plain dome]

LTT Anthony??

[vapid zephyr]

Yes

[plain dome]

no embed but you get the point

[hard mirage]

We Stan Emily ❤️

[slim mirage]

give my self brain damage every time i try tab out of a remote desktop session inside of another remote desktop session

[old smelt]

AMD's FidelityFX might be able to help

[slim creek]

why do I remember old games with way more detail but when I play them today they look so bad

[hard mirage]

Not to be creepy

[still light]

Not so much. There's a video LTT did about this.

[vapid zephyr]

Because you're used to modern graphics now

[hard mirage]

That's normal

[tawny merlin]

Old games should look old

[plain dome]

Because we're used to higher quality nowadays

[old smelt]

There's forks of FidelityFX that work on games not on the list

[vapid zephyr]

So high quality that games look the same since about 2017 or 2018, gg

[wraith sonnet]

probably played it with a crt that artists deliberately used the fuzzy nature of to add more detail that wasn't there

[still light]

Crt > led displays for old gaming.

[slim creek]

whats the effect called? is it nostalgic

[tawny merlin]

Atari 5200 graphics are great if you grew up with them

[still light]

I had to go out and find a Sony trinitron just because of this problem.

[hard mirage]

It's not really an effect, just like how it worked

[rugged tartan]

I grew up in the ps2 to xb360 era personally

[vapid zephyr]

Nostalgia goggles

[slim creek]

browser games such as papa’s pizzaria really hit the spot

[tawny merlin]

Would a dirty window screen in front of the monitor help?

[wraith sonnet]

Okay Dolphin at least is still in the discover store in linux so anyone on base steam deck should be fine

[neon mesa]

it's not nostalgia
CRT acted as some kind of anti aliasing due to how it works

[slim creek]

how old is sims 4 I forgot

[rugged tartan]

Looks like ass compared to CRT, even hate seeing my ps1 through a lcd

Too blocky

[full fossil]

I memorized the beginning of this game

[rugged tartan]

2014?

[vapid zephyr]

Going to be 9 years old in September

[full fossil]

DIE YOU MONSTER YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD.

[rugged tartan]

Huh?

[wraith sonnet]

I actually never played a castlevania, I just know this image macro exists...

[plain dome]

Woww
kinda makes sense seeing how when i launched it, it didnt know about a 3070 "Unknown Graphics card found, are you sure you want to continue?" (or something around those lines)

[hard mirage]

9 years old and costs 8000$

[full fossil]

I've finished that game more than 10 times

I love castlevania SOTN.

[slim creek]

will there be a sims 5 or something?

[wraith sonnet]

DBD is coming close if you want all the dlc

[vapid zephyr]

Psychological term for it is rosy retrospection ig

[vapid zephyr]

Dw, DBD probably costs a lot more

It's not $8000 for Sims 4 and all expacs, it's 'only' about $1000

[neon mesa]

buying everything in GTA Online with shark cards:

[slim creek]

bro I wanna get gta 6 so badly

hopefully they keep gta 5 online once 6 releases

[wraith sonnet]

the less keys floating around for the stranger things dlc the more expensive it gets

[vapid zephyr]

They will, they kept GTA 4 servers running for 7 years after the release of GTA 5

[hard mirage]

Im joking clearly

[slim creek]

sick

[hard mirage]

The only 8k game is any paradox game

[slim mirage]

isnt gta v mostly P2P anyways?

[slim creek]

nah

[slim creek]

just grind in a private server and you’re good

[neon mesa]

lmao GTA Online needs over $9000 to buy everything

[vapid zephyr]

Didn't know Cities: Skylines was $8,000

[neon mesa]

nothing beats GTA Online

[rugged tartan]

Time to snooze

[slim creek]

I found people online dating and rammed a truck into them 😍

[neon mesa]

very not gta online of you

[slim mirage]

im saying they dont actually run the game servers they just handle information such as achievements, player data and matchmaking to connect players to other players so probably wouldnt cost them that much to keep it running for a very long time

[neon mesa]

i simply use either my death space cannon or mosquito bike

the mk1 version of course

[hard mirage]

Do I have do make It that obvious I'm also joking

Paradox is also notorious for dlc

[vapid zephyr]

No I know you're not being serious

[hard mirage]

They do have games that are legit 2k off sale

[vapid zephyr]

But you don't seem to be aware that I am clearly ignoring all of that

[hard mirage]

Some old strategy game

[full fossil]

Congratulations to Emily!

[hard mirage]

@vapid zephyr thoughts on cities 2

[vapid zephyr]

If we want to be nitpicky, there's plenty of games that sell for over a 100 grand no issue

[vapid zephyr]

Didn't even know there was a sequel

[neon mesa]

rare old copies of games doesn't count

[hard mirage]

Coming out eventually

[neon mesa]

GTA Online ACTUALLY needs $9000 to buy everything in the game and it is part of the game

[hard mirage]

I can't wait for the planet coaster announcement

[neon mesa]

it's not an overstatement

[vapid zephyr]

Idk, it's just the same game with unnecessarily good graphics

[hard mirage]

No, it's going to have a whole host of AMAZING stuff

[vapid zephyr]

Ah, none of the screens on the Steam store are actual footage, how convenient

[slim mirage]

i thought the whole point of cities 2 is the citizens have more lore to them

[hard mirage]

Yup, it's announced but not much more

They are doing it like skate.
Showing some influencers footage and having them vaguely comment on it to build hype

[vapid zephyr]

Whatever, it's effectively going to be the same game anyways

[hard mirage]

This time less CPU intensive tho

Finally

[vapid zephyr]

City Skylines was never extremely CPU intensive

[hard mirage]

It was with even a decent city

[vapid zephyr]

Challenging sure, but it was checking more RAM than your CPU

[hard mirage]

It brings a 7800x3d to it's knees

[slim barn]

Not even with a decent city and tons of mods.

[hard mirage]

It will use AI cores on CPUs and GPUs for pedestrian and car simulations

Rumors are a 100x decrease in processing need

[vapid zephyr]

'Rumors' ha

[hard mirage]

Paradox employees are like a broken faucet

[vapid zephyr]

I mean that'll decrease the same car clutter that happens every single time no matter what you do, but that's just some fancy marketing shit for solving a simple problem

[slim barn]

100% decrease 😄

[vapid zephyr]

It could be a 1000% and I wouldn't really care

Especially because it's rumors, I don't care about rumors lmao
You're getting too hyped over this

[slim barn]

I'm not. I know the rumours are bs.

[hard mirage]

No the decease in load is allegedly for partially less usage and also for actually good simulations

Paradox said the game will do sims on AI cores

[vapid zephyr]

That is great

[hard mirage]

Now we just need planco to do the same

[vapid zephyr]

But still, just solves a simple problem that skylines 1 had

[hard mirage]

PLEASE PLANCO 2

[vapid zephyr]

It just saves them time if anything, they could've done this without AI cores rather easily

[hard mirage]

PLEASE

[stray apex]

Will it just not run on older CPUs without AI accelerators then

[fresh flower]

Top post on /g/ rn is arch users saying WE GOT ANOTHER ONE

[vapid zephyr]

Kek

[slim barn]

What if there's already a Cities Skylines 2 and we're living in it? And just don't realise it. 🤔

[hard mirage]

It will, better than before but not as good

[vapid zephyr]

So it'll just revert back to being like skylines 1

gg

[hard mirage]

LMAO

[vast mica]

indeed, we have (I don't use arch but I support the takeover)

[still light]

How many outlast trials gamers on here?

[fresh flower]

next mission is to make jirp learn arch\

[hard mirage]

Skylines 2 will have basically all one skylines 1 in the base package tho so that's quite nice @vapid zephyr

[vast mica]

I will make a deal

Ill set up an Arch VM

It will not be bare metal, I'd just rather not deal with swapping a system over and/or dual booting

[fresh flower]

dual booting arch is easy

[vast mica]

shoosh

[fresh flower]

lady you have 100 drives you can afford one dedicated to arch

[vast mica]

No I need all of them 😊

dedicated to uh copies of the same 200GB of file
yeah
That's what I'll do

[wraith sonnet]

you know a steam deck comes with a pretty solid arch install

[vast mica]

I'm not buying a steam deck.

Just not my style 🤷‍♀️

[mighty lantern]

Hey

[fresh flower]

wait a minute i'm a fat neckbeard who uses arch...

[vast mica]

soon, we will get you too... 😈

that sounds overly threatening

[mighty lantern]

Which one would you prefer?
3050ti or 1660ti at similar price?
3050ti has dlss where 1660ti has 2 more gigs of vram.

[stray apex]

Neither

[wraith sonnet]

on the alternate side of the coin, I'm using arch and slowly getting sculpted again

[mighty lantern]

Sadly only options available in budget

[stray apex]

6600?

Are these laptops?

[wraith sonnet]

before someone says steam deck doesn't count, I'm using manjaro on my laptop

[vast mica]

3050ti = they're looking at laptops.
The majority of which are going to be NVIDIA.

[stray apex]

Yeah
Still
Radeon tends to be cheap too

[mighty lantern]

Msi has one with 6600m but notoriously bad reputation for after sales service in my country and my city doesn't even have a MSI service center.

[wraith sonnet]

I mean the clevo 13th gen chassis are pretty good, if you can find a cheap 40 series laptop I would say that

or wait for the framework 16

[mighty lantern]

I see I see

[stray apex]

That's not gonna be cheap

[wraith sonnet]

it could be if there's a no DGPU option

[mighty lantern]

And strictly between the two?

[stray apex]

The only spec we have is that they picked a color accurate 165hz 1440p panel so

[wraith sonnet]

I know we sell one like that but it's like 2700 cost

not soliciting, I'm brick and mortar

[stray apex]

Yeah, I mean diy discount but still
Not gonna be cheap

[open flower]

Could you guys recommend some mics for pc under $50?

[tough spruce]

dont they normally blur this stuff?

[slim mirage]

what sort of mic are you after usb, XLR, headset mic

[thorn hazel]

it's wholesome and we pretty much know his family anyways

[slim mirage]

i assume because the video is about the photos and decorations and they know that all these photos are going to be shown often in that room then its not an issue to them

[open flower]

The one that let’s talk in the game😭 I tired to use my ps4 headset that I had bought but it didn’t work it connects but I can’t talk

[slim mirage]

a ps4 controller on windows?

did you use ds4windows?

[open flower]

What’s that?

[slim mirage]

like is this a mic for a ps4 lol?

[open flower]

I tired to talk on discord and it didn’t work too

[fresh flower]

do you still need ds4windows on 11?

[open flower]

I’m new to pc sorry I don’t know anything😭😭

[slim mirage]

right so are you plugging the controller into your pc or is it wireless?

[molten sonnet]

A free app that makes ps4 controllers easier to use on Windows

[fresh flower]

i know you need ds4windows to use it on the xbox app

[open flower]

I have a ps5 controller so when I plug my ps4 mic in the pc usb I can hear everything but I just can’t talk

[fresh flower]

and maybe epic

[slim mirage]

when you plug your controller into your pc right click the mic icon on discord and select the input https://pullyour.zip/up/05-28-Discord-Yt795P9OLC98yZuvVuSK.png

[fresh flower]

i dunno i grabbed a volt xbox controller ages ago and I haven't looked back

[molten sonnet]

Ps5 controller, maybe dsx on Steam could help
I have the apo but not a controller to test with

[slim mirage]

ill grab a ps5 controller and see if it does the same thing 2 secs

[fresh flower]

My baby

[open flower]

Will that let my talk with my friends?

[slim mirage]

yes

[open flower]

Oh okey I’ll test it out later thank you very much bro

[fresh flower]

Before I get a comment about the keyboard being dusty it's my work keeb
