And a uniform connector

USB has USB C but it's still a mess feature wise

[dreamy rose]

i mean USB A has been around from the start

[neon mesa]

USB has USB A, the three Bs, then C
Then not all of them always work coherently with the Host/Client thing
Then there's PD, Data transfer capabilities

[gentle slate]

I am still waiting to receive my router password

[neon mesa]

Any pcie device will usually work as intended even if it's from 2002

[gentle slate]

why cant they keep the default shit... All I want is to open my port.

[neon mesa]

Like only thing you need to worry in PCIe is the version and lane count

And version is very straightforward

USB have 3.2 Gen 2x2, then some USB Cable is actually thunderbolt

[dreamy rose]

USB is absolutely a mess but they at least kept A since the start

[dusty rune]

usb a best usb

[dreamy rose]

a bit large but its been the most solid connector.

[ashen zodiac]

pcie wasn't a thing in 2002 but sure

that only started to become available in 2004-2005

[dim vine]

[neon mesa]

One year off, 2003

[ashen zodiac]

was it shipped in products in 2003?

the first system i know of that had it was the 2005 PowerMac G5

[neon mesa]

I don't know, what matters is when it's created

And that wasn't the point of my original sentence

[ashen zodiac]

by that logic dualcore systems have been around since the early 90's because you could have dual 486 cpu's

[neon mesa]

That's apples and oranges

[dreamy rose]

introduced 2003

man why am i on PCIE 2.0 when 3.0 introduced in 2010 Acer the fuck is wrong with you?

[ashen zodiac]

does it matter? Gen 2 is plenty fast for most gpu's

unless you have a 1080Ti or better i doubt it matters

[neon mesa]

Gen 2 x16 is fast enough
Problem is some newer cards, AMD being biggest offender cheap out on lanes

Meaning something like the 6600 runs at 2.0 x8

[forest knoll]

Where can i find my graphics drivers, need to update

[dreamy rose]

AMD/Nvidia website

[ashen zodiac]

true. my 1060 6GB is full x16

[full fossil]

I gave them delivery instructions and yet they failed to deliver. Like bro, just leave the package in the reception. Don't bother with finding my flat. And I needed that too, ugh.

This is amazon too, so I expected better. This is the first time they failed with those instructions

[forest knoll]

oki

[forest knoll]

i download all 3?

Auto-Detect and Install

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition

AMD Software: PRO Edition

[dreamy rose]

what card?

[forest knoll]

6600

[dreamy rose]

get Adrenalin

[forest knoll]

kk

[forest knoll]

do i need to reset pc after i install or something

[dreamy rose]

it should restart when its done

[forest knoll]

alr

[dreamy rose]

also new system or upgrade?

[forest knoll]

hm?

just need to update cuz ive got problems in mc

[gentle slate]

how in depth is opening ports on a router?

I aint allowed access in the router since it's owned by the ISP.

like do I just tell em "open x port plz"

[gilded kraken]

vpn and playit.gg is the best solution I know of

[gentle slate]

cba to pay for shit

[gilded kraken]

you may not need a vpn but some isps block playit

[gilded kraken]

fair

[slim mirage]

@gentle slate what are you opening the port for?

[gentle slate]

👁️

[slim mirage]

Cheers very useful information

[gentle slate]

I dont think I'm allowed to speak of it's purposes here.

[slim mirage]

DM me it

[wispy marsh]

Must be shitty singtel

[full fossil]

is anyone here good at soldering

[gentle slate]

wats singtel

[wispy marsh]

An isp with good coverage and speed but abuses capitalism with an iron fist

[echo canopy]

If you’re on something that runs at pcie 2.0 it’s just not powerful enough to drive a rx 6600

[echo canopy]

What cpu because when I look it up on google it’s not on the i first page and I’m lazy?

They made it “usable” in the easiest way possible and you can do the same thing for amd as Linux already does. Only amds media engine is lacking rn and only for encode

[gentle slate]

oh nana

[neon mesa]

the point is intel move quick while AMD is still nvidia's back burner for like over a decade

[echo canopy]

The only reason they could move q quickly is because the work was already done for them

They didn’t program their own dx9 driver, they used a foss translation layer

[ashen zodiac]

https://www.geekdot.com/hauppauge-4860/

[neon mesa]

does it matter? AMD has access to all FOSS too

[river pasture]

i am uploading to the cloud 33 isos with oses like fedora, ubuntu, linux mint and win95, 98, 2000, 7, vista and 8.1. my bandwith is crying lmao

[neon mesa]

not to mention intel's ray tracing engine isn't disappointing like RDNA 2
on a first gen device

[echo canopy]

DXVK has games it does not work with and thats why Intel made it whitelisted. If you play a unsupported game it’s still the shitty dx9 on dx12

[neon mesa]

i simply don't have faith in AMD.
Radeon never had its ryzen moment

intel however still have an opportunity to prove themselves

on the like 1 game that actually still use DX9

direct 11 released all the way in 2009

[echo canopy]

Radeon is having its ryzen moment but due to stigma and FOMO people are going arc and nvidia

You know csgo, the literal most popular game on steam is dx9? People still play dx9 titles

[neon mesa]

that's just blaming the consumer at this point
not taking accountability is not how you improve

and CS:GO runs on DX11

[echo canopy]

It does? Thought it was still 9

[ashen zodiac]

i think nvidia cards being plentyful on the used market rn is also having an effect. you can pick up a 1070 for cheap now and you can still play a hell of a lot of games with that

[neon mesa]

and what ryzen moment?
AMD can't even bring out a 4090 competitor
and their other class of product is only like cheaper by a small amount despite having big compromises

Ryzen did not just match itnel
ryzen destroyed intel for a while

[ashen zodiac]

wrong. look on the requirements page on steam. it needs DX9

[echo canopy]

Why do you need a 4090 or even a 4090 competitor? Most people can’t even afford a 7900xt/4070ti

[neon mesa]

that does not mean it runs on DX9 right now
it is the minimum requirement

[ashen zodiac]

[neon mesa]

but unless your hardware is older than 2009 it can run it on DX11

[ashen zodiac]

if it required DX11 why does it say it runs on DX9

[neon mesa]

because game can run on multiple directX versions
like example, GTA V

it can run on DX 10, 10.1 and 11

[echo canopy]

World of Warcraft and tf2 as well

[neon mesa]

even then, intel specifically focuses on CS:GO

[echo canopy]

If possible always use dx12 or vulkan tho.

[neon mesa]

they have improved CS:GO FPS by over 2x

[ashen zodiac]

@neon mesa https://linustechtips.com/topic/500406-force-games-to-use-dx11/?do=findComment&comment=6682255

[neon mesa]

literally a 2015 post

[ashen zodiac]

and?

a DX9 game will run on DX11 hardware because of backwards compatibility. that doesn't mean the game uses DX11

[neon mesa]

it still runs well on intel

[echo canopy]

Just note you can do the same thing with amd you just have to do it manually or be a real man and use Linux

[neon mesa]

the hardware and software serve the consumer

moving to linux just makes you serve it with all the extra technical knowledge needed

you don't make a product number 1 by calling the consumers stupid

[tepid bolt]

Well that's because up until Arc gpus had the hardware to support previous DX versions

Arc literally has no hardware support for APIs previous to DX12 and Vulkan, it has to translate.

[echo canopy]

Anyways, intel has basically done nothing and this is the biggest bump to performance you will get ever

[ashen zodiac]

which is stupid

[echo canopy]

Don’t expect more

[echo canopy]

It’s smart, translating dx 11 and before as well as openX to vulkan increased performance

[neon mesa]

it is their first gen product and it has already done well enough for what it is
and back to the point, AMD has been disappointing

[ashen zodiac]

they are trying to pull an Apple, just release stuff that only works on the newest hardware and just obsolete everything else. but that strategy only works if your customers are sheep who buy everything you release

[neon mesa]

we haven't even seen battlemage as well

[ashen zodiac]

all i know is that i'm very happy with my 1060

[neon mesa]

and no you don't fix AMD's market share problem by
"stupid consumers go use linux"

[ashen zodiac]

runs older games well, enough power for new games (at 1080p)

[ashen zodiac]

ikr. i like Linux, but i daily drive Windows just to get rid of headaches tbh

Linux just isn't there yet

[neon mesa]

i want AMD to do well
but i simply don't have faith in them
intel still has a chance to prove themselves

AMD, had over a decade to get a ryzen moment

[ashen zodiac]

last time i checked the RX580 was a pretty awesome card in the midrange

[tepid bolt]

I mean to this day they still offer by far the best price/performance.

[neon mesa]

not exactly a ryzen moment

[tepid bolt]

While not being significantly behind alternatives

Wasn't that what ryzen accomplished?

[neon mesa]

Ryzen breaks a 5 years long technology stagnation and a lower price
it did not match the competition, it beats them

[dense quail]

I like Guardians of the Galaxy

[neon mesa]

while radeon is still just a back burner for nvidia

[tepid bolt]

Early ryzen defenitely didn't beat Intel outright lol

[ashen zodiac]

ryzen 1st and 2nd gen were dogshit though

[neon mesa]

and they beat intel in like their 3rd generation

[dense quail]

I think Guardians of the Galaxy is better than Intel

[neon mesa]

while radeon has like
GCN 3.0, Vega, Radeon VII, RDNA 1, 2 ,3, none of them did an actual ryzen moment

[dense quail]

But that's just me! to each their own!

[ashen zodiac]

i mean for someone like me who only buys used ryzen isn't an option. for the same price as a ryzen cpu i can get 8700K on the used market which is WAY better

[neon mesa]

like what Zen 2 did to intel

difference between Ryzen and radeon
ryzen was revolutionary
radeon is just a cheaper option that lacks half the feature

[dense quail]

I agree. I mean Guardians 3 wasn't as good as the first, which is obviously a classic. But obviously it stands as a great finale to the trilogy

[tepid bolt]

How does it lack half the features if all it's missing is CUDA

[rustic patio]

It works awesome for me too. In Linux, I can max out metro exodus at 1080 all ultra 40-60fps I was surprised.

Reddead runs well too

[neon mesa]

lacks CUDA, OptiX, CUDNN, still no frame gen, better RT

[ashen zodiac]

i'm happy on my 1060 but i've heard the RX580 is good. especially on linux cuz nvidia is dogshit on it

but i use Windows so i can happily use nvidia

[neon mesa]

and with RDNA 3, uses 150% more power

[dense quail]

I upgraded to a 3060 ti from a 1060 recently and it made me realise how good that card was.

[rustic patio]

I’ve had 0 issues in Linux with the 580. It’s flawless

[neon mesa]

you might argue these features a lot of gamers don't need
but that does not disprove my point that it's a cheaper card that lacks feature parity

[dense quail]

Obviously the 3060 ti is better but the 1060 kept me going for so long

[ashen zodiac]

yeah the 1060 6GB that i have is a beast still

[ashen zodiac]

same with my 1060 on Windows

[dense quail]

Ya, it can even the run the new guardians of the galaxy game!

[tepid bolt]

OptiX and cudnn are part of CUDA, frame gen is locked to 40 series only so if you have a 20 or 30 series card forget about it, a lot their cards are losing in RT performance nowadays because they just run out of vram.

[neon mesa]

Ryzen was so much better than intel without any drawbacks by Zen 2
Radeon is still a card you have to make compromises to save a buck

[ashen zodiac]

10 series was just SO GOOD in general

[tepid bolt]

So really it's just CUDA

[ashen zodiac]

1050Ti was great value too.

[tepid bolt]

It wasn't

[dense quail]

I agree. I remember watching the first Guardians of the galaxy on my pc which had the 1060 on it. It's fitting that I watched the third on the 3060 ti

a natural progression, but it was sad to leave behind those memories.

[neon mesa]

the point is
Ryzen became an actual alternative
you don't have to make compromises to use ryzen
everything intel do, ryzen can do

while radeon is still not that
and especially important for non gamers

for radeon to have a ryzen moment it has to beat nvidia by a big margin and lower price like ryzen did
and finally achieve feature parity

[dense quail]

Kinda like how Guardians of The Galaxy was unexpectedly better than most of the MCU movies. I get what you mean

[tepid bolt]

Well that's just because Nvidia made CUDA closed source

[neon mesa]

right now AMD thinks being lower than nvidia by 50 bucks is enough

[dense quail]

NVIDIA cards look nicer

[tepid bolt]

People and developers had the option to support CUDA or OpenCL back in the day. They chose CUDA.

[dense quail]

And I like the names more

[neon mesa]

it's not like NV forced them to
CUDA was a risky bet and it paid off

[dense quail]

You could say it was a guda idea hahhaha

[mild elm]

This. So this.

[hollow pulsar]

CUDA woulda shoulda

[dense quail]

hAHAHA

I think CUDA is dumb and I hate it (what's a CUDA)

[neon mesa]

when picking AMD or Intel all you need to see is which is cheaper

[dense quail]

https://tenor.com/view/very-cool-red-letter-media-nerd-crew-disney-nod-gif-17785468

[tepid bolt]

Nvidia's only worthwhile feature

[dense quail]

I like how when I put the card into my pc it made my games run better

[neon mesa]

a feature many make a living off

[mild elm]

A very important feature

[neon mesa]

really a way to downplay
CUDA was the first thing that allows people to do GPU Compute

[gentle slate]

yall how do you find the mac address of a device? My pc particularly.

[hollow pulsar]

I bought an NVIDIA card specifically for the CUDA feature.

[dense quail]

Um your PC isn't a Mac

[mild elm]

Router admin page

[gentle slate]

akshually macs are personal computers too

[dense quail]

||We'll see who takes this seriously||

[tepid bolt]

I think it's more of a cautionary tale. If you don't like monopolies, don't support the closed sourced when there's open source alternatives.

[gentle slate]

no access to that. I have acess to the PC tho

[hollow pulsar]

For windows, in cmd: ipconfig /all

[dense quail]

I liked it when I put my 3060 ti in and my pc ran games better

[tepid bolt]

Nice

[neon mesa]

i mean CUDA came in first, what other option you have back before OCL is there

[dense quail]

Did I do it wrong?

[gentle slate]

Physical Address ye? tyty

[neon mesa]

OCL came in 3 years late

[dense quail]

My favourite feature is the RGB lights and the name showing when I look at the window on the side of my pc

[hollow pulsar]

Yep. Same thing. 🙂

[dense quail]

That's my favourite

[gentle slate]

yk networking is beginning to make sense.

fascinating stuff.

[hollow pulsar]

It makes a TON of sense. I recommend taking a basic Cisco Networking course to really hone in the fundamentals. I think they teach IPv6 now, which is a monster of a beast.

[gentle slate]

I member when I was young I wanted to host an MC server for me and my friends. But i had no clue how to open the ports.. And that my IP is dynamic so they had to always ask for the IP

[dense quail]

I just paid like 5 bucks for a minecraft server

[gentle slate]

Eww paying yucky

[hollow pulsar]

Yea. Having a project like that and figuring out workarounds is actually a great way to learn stuff.

[dense quail]

I feel like the trouble of setting one up and learning about that is worth the 5 bucks

[gentle slate]

I aint going to pay if I can do it myself

5$ was my weekly allowance

[dense quail]

Also mods are easier to install that way and it's more stable

[hollow pulsar]

I think I use dyndns to work around my ISP’s dynamic IP.

[gentle slate]

ya I learned of that today. Dynamic DNS

supposedly you can also use your MAC address to port forward too even with a dynamic IP

[dry isle]

You could assign a static ip to your computer too

[neon mesa]

that would be only local

[hollow pulsar]

Hmmm… there’s some trickery going on there because MAC addresses and ports aren’t associated with each other.

Probably a proprietary feature of your router.

[gentle slate]

Eh, even my router doesnt support it, my ISP will need an address to pinpoint for the forwarding to happen. Dont want them opening ports on my TV

[neon mesa]

you got cool router and my ISP don't even disable AP isolation

and there is no way to turn it off in the admin panel

i had to buy a separate gigabit switch

[hollow pulsar]

Are you able to modify the DHCP settings on your router?

[gentle slate]

Nope. 0 access

It's lent to me, thus their property and they dont gimme touchie.

[hollow pulsar]

Do you know the DHCP IP range?

[gentle slate]

Nope.

[neon mesa]

can't you just, access the admin page anyway

[gentle slate]

yeah with a username and password which I aint got

[neon mesa]

usually they're left at the default admin-admin user password

[gentle slate]

i tried every combo under the sun

[neon mesa]

my ISP also changed the default but it's already leaked on the net

[hollow pulsar]

Bummer. Because I’d recommend setting a DHCP reservation for your computer OR statically assigning an IP outside the DHCP range. Hopefully that made sense.

[gentle slate]

note that in the ipconfig my PC's ipv4 has a (preferred) next to it

[hollow pulsar]

Our last option would be for you to buy a router and ask your ISP to set their router in to bridge mode.

[gentle slate]

Hmm

[neon mesa]

talking to ISP call center to do technical shit is a nightmare

[gentle slate]

Ok I got multiple options. Time to send instructions.

[hollow pulsar]

Ask the ISP first before buying anything.

[neon mesa]

i was asking about my router's AP isolation and they keep thinking the internet is broken

or other general issues

[gentle slate]

I think I already have a router. Though idk how the digital TV will work if their router is in bridge mode.

[full fossil]

Happy rainbow month

[gentle slate]

it goes over the ethernet wire

[full fossil]

Also why is the shortened form of suspicious blocked

[gentle slate]

amongus

[hollow pulsar]

Probably way over used.

[neon mesa]

ISP IPTVs are a pain in the ass

i used to use them
but ditched them for netflix

[hollow pulsar]

I’m fairly familiar with multicast IP stuff, no idea about ISP implementations though.

[neon mesa]

problem with IPTVs is a lot of them uses the main router for auth

[hollow pulsar]

Ew

[neon mesa]

which breaks if you use bridge mode

[full fossil]

sus

[gentle slate]

I wouldnt use them at all if I had a choice, but my grandma wants her TV

and she doesnt want no netflix or linux iso style shows.

[neon mesa]

at that point, get a second ISP

[woven viper]

i like macs

[mild elm]

Cool same

[woven viper]

pog

[gentle slate]

I might tbh. My ISP doesnt offer symmetrical internet anyways

300/60 is wack. 300/300 woulda been fine.

[hollow pulsar]

Cable ISP?

[gentle slate]

Dont think so. They got fiber running

[neon mesa]

direct fiber?

[hollow pulsar]

Oh that’s weird then.

[gentle slate]

Pretty much. There's some converter from fiber to wire at the router

[broken folio]

300/60 would be a big upgrade for here. max can get currently is 28/8

[neon mesa]

my ISP has direct fiber, can't even change the main router because it's an optical terminal at the same time

and basically no consumer ONT exists

[gentle slate]

tbf other than the router access and non symmetrical plans, I cant complain bout them. Consistent speeds, 7 days a week support, fast response.

[echo canopy]

Zen2/3 even after they removed half rate AVX2 still has several instructs that are sometimes a magnitude slower. It wasn’t finished

[gentle slate]

For awhile my house was used as a relay to the new neighborhood. So we had free internet as long as we kept the power running so the internet went ahead.

[echo canopy]

Everything has compromises

[gentle slate]

so that was over 6 years of free 100/60

[neon mesa]

compromise that isn't big

[hollow pulsar]

I have another idea. Are you running your minecraft server on a dedicated computer/server?

[gentle slate]

Nope. The minecraft server is my PC.

which is on 24/7 regardless

[neon mesa]

minecraft servers don't really eat a lot of data
you can probably get a 4G router and use a sim card instead for it

[broken folio]

One day they'll upgrade the exchange here and offer 1Gbps, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon. Trouble with new build areas is they're often tacked onto the existing network with no upgrade and so are too far from the exchange to get the higher speeds

[gentle slate]

we got several ISPs offering 1000/1000 but my grandma wanted TV so we aint getting that.

price goes up too much.

[broken folio]

(unless the cable supplier (only the one in the UK, Virgin Media) extends to the new properties, which they often don't)

[velvet root]

Internet service where I live can be very trash-tier

[gentle slate]

yo I wonder if it'd be ever possible to route 10gbps to a home

[broken folio]

Just as I moved, I got offered 1gpbs by my old ISP. Which was about typical!

[broken folio]

Anything is possible, but whether it is commercially viable is an entirely different question.

[neon mesa]

i'm stuck on an ISP that gives me 40mbps at like i think $30 a month because they're the only one with the infrastructure on my area
despite there being competitors offering triple for less but they don't have terminals here

[gentle slate]

I wouldnt mind a 10gbps connection. I'd most definitely use it very much

[broken folio]

I expect the only way 10Gbps would be offered was if it was to blocks of flats, with the 10gbps connection shared amongst them.

[mild elm]

Romania

[gentle slate]

ye sadly im in Bulgaria

[neon mesa]

op turns out most of it is local traffic

windows can't tell the difference huh

[vapid crown]

Does anyone here have a build with a lian li o11 dynamic mini, NH-U12A, and a 4080 FE? I've been thinking of going to a smaller PC lately.

[ashen zodiac]

it just monitors TCP, doesn't matter if it's local or not. remember, if you use the internet Windows just sees traffic from your router and back. if you have traffic between 2 systems on LAN it also just sees traffic on the router

[echo canopy]

Windows also can’t monitor traffic from WSL2. Don’t trust it

[gentle slate]

just TCP? No UDP?

[ashen zodiac]

Probably UDP too but not much else

[quartz lintel]

If I linked my pcpartpicker list- would anyone be able to review it to make sure my computer will... y'now... function properly?

It says there is a problem with the cpu and motherboard but I really want to use this Ryzen 7 5800X3D cpu

[neon mesa]

PCPP often always shows compatibility warning when it comes to AMD systems but a lot of the time it's not to worry about

it's mostly due to early factory boards

but send it here anyway

[quartz lintel]

okie dokie

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/LinkDaBee/saved/#view=8GhBvK

[neon mesa]

you will need to open the builder
wait actually no

yea that board should be fine

[quartz lintel]

yay! thanks for reviewing it for me- I haven't been up to date with pc stuff in a couple years

[sly yew]

Is Ryujinx a better switch emulator than Yuzu?

[gentle slate]

when I request the port forwarding from my ISP, does it matter if I specify what variant of a protocol I want, or does UDP cover them all?

[low rain]

Wtf I woke up and now my arm hurts when I move it

[hollow pulsar]

Check what Minecraft requires for each port.

[plain dome]

I think minecraft needs udp and tcp

tcp being 25565 and udp being 19132

isp increased my upload speed to 104mbit today from 52... (my download is 1100, but the kids are all individually watching netflix in their rooms)

[tardy hinge]

Is £340 for a Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT PULSE 12GB a good deal right now looking to upgrade from a 1070Ti

[fossil frost]

its about the price for those right now, but personally, i would spend the extra 40-50 and get the 6750xt instead (which is what i did)

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-rx-6750-xt-pulse-gaming-oc-12gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-39w-sp.html

[long briar]

wait guys is captaine crunch just a more credible bioseaserpent?

But like, still AMD fanboy?

[tardy hinge]

what is the performance difference between the two it seems like its just an OC'd 6700XT is it really worth the extra amount?

[fossil frost]

it performs like an OCed 6700, but, there is OC room on the 6750 too, about the same amount of room as there was on the 6700, so you can OC the 6750 well out of range of the 6700

perf diff is about 7 - 12% depending on the game/workload IIRC

[tardy hinge]

Oh ok so it seems like as a long term GPU that difference will really help as I want this GPU to last a long time

I never knew there was such a big bandwidth difference between the two cards either that will help a lot down the line I think

[fossil frost]

not down to bandwidth, its optimisations to the gpu chip its self

bigger power targets, more refined chip process, beefier power delivery

[tardy hinge]

ah okay that makes sense

[rancid bloom]

How is everyone?

[tardy hinge]

335.99 is the cheapest 6700xt here, cheapest 6750xt looks to be 367.19 so actually might hop on that deal 🙂

can go from 100Mb for €36/m to 500Mb for €50/m

[full fossil]

but it’s 70Mbps

[fossil frost]

your wifi might be, but the internet connection connected to it might not be

[hasty wyvern]

[vapid smelt]

$40 for symmetrical gig here

[hasty wyvern]

there's a difference in how fast it can send data through your local network, and what speed you're getting from your ISP

[neon mesa]

and i got 40Mbps for 30/mo bru

[full fossil]

gtg

[hasty wyvern]

yeah my country sucks for internet pricing

the price I gave you is the cheap ISP here

one of the other options is €50/m for 200Mb

[vapid smelt]

Here the main fiber company is utopiafiber then dozens of ISP subcontract?/ Use their infrastructure so you pay the big dog utopia like $15 a month then the ISPs $30-200 depending on if you want 10gig

[hasty wyvern]

kind of the same here, but one of them has now gone bankrupt, hooray

1Gb fiber would be 74/m for the first year, eventually 84/m with the main provider, fucking hell

[low rain]

I can’t wait till my grandma comes back to the U.S

[plain dome]

I’ve heard from a few friends that just 100mbits is 100$ a month over in the states

not American but it really depends on the region

Guys how do i change my rgb color on my aerocool Trinity mini

[graceful burrow]

Have you checked the manufacturers website for a manual or what kind of fans they are or any kind of video explaining it

[restive fox]

Couldnt find anything it stays in the rainbow mode

[west sentinel]

"RTFM"

[graceful burrow]

An impossible ask it seems nowadays

[hasty wyvern]

do you see any cables coming out of the RGB parts?

if it's fans, I'm not talking about the power cable

[low rain]

If you have a msi motherboard you could use msi center, if you have an asus motherboard you can use asus aurora, idk ab the other mobos though but that’s one way you could change it.

[hasty wyvern]

I don't even use my phone on the toilet

[full fossil]

What's this emoji and what does NDA mean?

[hasty wyvern]

non-disclosure agreement

basically not being allowed to talk about a certain thing

[full fossil]

Oh ok, thank you.

[full fossil]

okay man, good for you.
read the back of the soap bottle or something for entertaintment, or a book idk

[hasty wyvern]

very common for tech reviewers, they get sent a product and have to sign an NDA, so that everyone can release their reviews etc at the same time

[full fossil]

embargos

Gotcha.

[hasty wyvern]

yeah, embargo would be the better term there, embargo is a type of nda

but could also be in certain job fields where you work with sensitive data, you are not allowed to share that stuff with other people

or in lawsuit settlements, one side gets a large sum but isn't allowed to talk about what happened

[low rain]

Went to Costco now I want a monitor wtf

I walk even more now I want more storage wtf is Costco doing to me

so booth babes are still a thing?

I feel like it's e3 2000

Hey, so if I have a monitor that has a Nvidia G sync sticker…does it matter if you have an Nvidia or AMD gpu?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/computex-booth-babes-2013/

[bitter pine]

I wonder what they get paid

[fossil frost]

fuck all probably if the industry is anything like any other industry that still uses those girls

[bitter pine]

I want that job

[stray apex]

ah yes
tech journalism

[fossil frost]

"exposure"... "getting your image out there"

[bitter pine]

@fossil frost they were paid to stand in the background of pics at an oc event I think

We're they also doing modeling shots with the ram?

[fossil frost]

the whole industry around modelling is very scum-bag-y, most girls just get ripped off and dont really get paid much, if at all... and the agency makes most of their money and keeps it for themselves.

and they have slim models at places like this, to trick stupid people into buying the product or buying into the product

[hasty wyvern]

outside of VRR support no
even then, it depends on the monitor and when you bought it

if bought recently, most likely no on that as well

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/kenny-were-the-millers-you-guys-are-getting-paid-will-poulter-gif-15947352

no

[full fossil]

i just relised that i look like the monster from the goonies

[wind pulsar]

Oh, dw

Apart from the AMD women these women aren't getting paid at all

They're all getting 'paid in exposure'

The same shit would happen to men as well, happens all the time

lol I knew a lass who's sister was a booth babe.
She now lives in Monaco married to a Moto GP rider.*
So it can have its perks.
edit: think he is in Superbike World Championships now

[fossil frost]

if your life dream is to just look nice next to somebody whos career and success you have contributed fuck all to... you should probably rethink your life

[full fossil]

@sinful plinth boo

mine is to be annoying asf to my man and make him regret loving me

[elfin solar]

Someones a bit jealous 🤣

[mint yacht]

Someone would rather not be a leach

[elfin solar]

Oh a jealous mod. Not a good look.

The fact you say that knowing nothing about her is hilarious.

[mint yacht]

I didn't even know what the conversation was about, I had read what bizzehdee said lol

[elfin solar]

Btw I'm no friend of her or her sister but she married the guy because they fell in love.

[elfin solar]

lol love it

[vapid smelt]

With his bank account

[wind pulsar]

I wouldn't at all be proud of doing nothing with my life and having superficial wealth by marrying some rich guy in Marocco.. If they love each other? Good for them!

That is if that's really the case

[fossil frost]

Morocco != Monaco

[wind pulsar]

Whatever, same statement

[full fossil]

Oop

[wind pulsar]

I didn't even bother checking what country it was, I don't care that much

[fossil frost]

lets just say that i know the type of person, and i knew a couple of them... and if he wasnt a motorgp rider, she would never have looked at him twice

[vapid smelt]

Speaking of wealth how did you get your tech store?

[wind pulsar]

If you're proud of yourself marrying some rich guy and having money that way, good for you ig

[wind pulsar]

We've been wealthy well before the purchase, so we just bought them

[vapid smelt]

Damnit Akira was born with the wealthy person dlc

[wind pulsar]

We both were born into rich families, nothing I can do about it

[dusty rune]

life on easy mode

[vapid zephyr]

You wish

People that think having money is life on easy mode will not make it in life lmao

[elfin solar]

And again not knowing anything about her says far more about you and your attitude to woman.

[fossil frost]

you could choose not to accept your parents money

[dusty rune]

i think its up to a point when it becomes a problem

[mint yacht]

Who in their right mind would do that

[vapid smelt]

I just want to be wealthy enough to buy a 2 bedroom home in Utah

[elfin solar]

And people that say that have never struggled with money lol

[fossil frost]

its not an attitude towards women, i would say that if a man married a woman for their money too

[wind pulsar]

I don't, I have my own assets now

[vapid zephyr]

Correct, where's the issue in that

[fossil frost]

because of your parents money?

[wind pulsar]

Absolutely

[fossil frost]

its very easy to be rich when you are already rich... becoming rich from nothing, is very hard

[elfin solar]

It is. Not only that you think the guy didn't have his pick? 🤣

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/small-loan-donald-trump-1mil-campaign-speech-gif-5037576

if the wealth is actually huge, yeah ig its an issue
but if the wealth is basically enough to live a comfortable life, id say thats not bad

[wind pulsar]

I've long paid back the money I took to get my shit, but capitalism I guess

[elfin solar]

That is certainly true.

[dusty rune]

i need to get adopted by donald trumps dad

[fossil frost]

doesnt matter... you were able to be given that money to make your money, its a shortcut, and the easy way

[vapid zephyr]

The second one was a ride btw

The former owner was a fucking asshole

[wind pulsar]

Cool

[elfin solar]

I mean you could try and get adopted by Elons dad, you do risk him grooming you though.

[dusty rune]

oo the story of the 2nd store

[vapid smelt]

Like a micro managing asshole?

[vapid zephyr]

Why are you making this an issue now

[dusty rune]

small price to pay

[fossil frost]

im not saying theres anything wrong with it, i would 100% do the same thing you did

im just making a point that its easy to be rich when you are already rich

[vapid zephyr]

No, he wanted to upsell us this ratshit of a house that would've been torn down anyway for like double the price of a normal renovated house because 'It has history', it was one of those delusional dumbasses

[dusty rune]

its also easy to become not rich if youre rich

[fossil frost]

sorry, misread that... yes yes it is

[vapid zephyr]

It was one of those people that sold their shit way too high during the pandemic, it's ridiculous

[vapid smelt]

But every Japanese home gets torn down like every 20 or so years

[elfin solar]

Money makes money has always been true.
If you had money anytime in the past making a fortune off it is easy (housing market for instance)

[dusty rune]

i think i have the potential to get wealthy with 70$ a month

[vapid zephyr]

Oh we don't actually construct our homes the way the government 'recommends' (In reality it's close to blackmail) you to build them

Houses have an expiration date of around 30 or so years, usually 22 to get the economy going, that is correct

[elfin solar]

What the hell !

[vapid zephyr]

I'd rather pay more and have a house that lasts 50

[fossil frost]

that feels incredibly wasteful

[vapid smelt]

Expiration date?!

[fossil frost]

my house is 100 years old, and is still perfectly structurally sound

[vapid zephyr]

You live in a country where the chance is incredibly high that those houses get destroyed anyway

They have to be on top-notch safety standards as well, there's lots of points of failures

[dusty rune]

as long as there aint mold its edible!

[vapid zephyr]

Yup, to artificially get the real estate market going

[vapid smelt]

How much of the materials for a Japanese home is imported?

[stray apex]

my house is 50 years old, and has shit insulation, terrible heating, no conduits for cabling and literally didn't have internet until we moved in
I don't think they even had a furnace initially

[sinful plinth]

good luck with that ❤️

[vapid zephyr]

Everything except the wood

[stray apex]

old houses can be perfectly structurally okay and also super outdated

[vapid zephyr]

At the very least a very large amount of it, I'm not 100% aware of the technical details

[fossil frost]

i have full insulation throughout, very good insulation too... very good heating (too good), most of the cabling is in pipes (or conduit as americans call it), and is on a street with the fastest internet you can get in the country...

[full fossil]

im peak trust me i will

[elfin solar]

Many older houses will still be standing long after some of the crap that has been built in the 90's and onward (UK)

[fossil frost]

im in the uk, my house was built in the 1920s... 🙂

[vapid zephyr]

Covid was crazy, we literally sold a house in Germany that barely had roof insulation and was built ever so slightly slanted; you could tell because the bathroom doors always closed on themselves

I consider it a feature truthfully but for all intends and purposes, it was a shithome

We sold it for $350,000, double it's value just a year prior

[fossil frost]

my ex-wifes house was built 2 years ago, and its shit... walls are made more or less out of paper

[stray apex]

yeah, housing market is nuts

[vapid zephyr]

Just to be clear though, I initially started this as a bid at 100 grand

I did not drive the price this high lmfao

[dusty rune]

neat flaw i guess?

[fossil frost]

i thought internal doors all had those hinges that caused the door to close themselves? no need for the house to be slanted?

[vapid zephyr]

We've fairly recently also moved out of our house in Okinawa, it was right beside a fairly busy road, but due to insulation you could her basically nothing outside and it had an open ocean view. It was the first home I've ever had built and we sold it for an equivalent of $3.5M, which is double what we initially paid for building it

[vapid zephyr]

We also kinda bought this house, it was already well over 80 years or so old

[dusty rune]

the apartment complex my grandma lives in was buily prob around the 70s maybe, perfectly fine

my brothers friend lived in one thats new. his roof fell on top of him

[vapid zephyr]

It was super cheap and the place it was at was nice, so I actually enjoyed using it as a home when I was at Germany

[fossil frost]

all my internal walls are brick... so, solid structure... my ex's house is an outer brick shell, and all the internals are stud walls

[vapid zephyr]

The only thing I didn't like is the same thing as with pretty much every house in rural areas

At morning you get woken up by what feels like an amazon rainforest of birds

[fossil frost]

my house backs onto a golf course, with a small wooded area between my back garden and the golf course, i know what you mean... they start about 4am, and do not shut up

whats a good place in germany for when i finish high school and maybe college

[elfin solar]

About 15 years ago friends were buying a new build for just less than £400k.
The snagging list was pages long and included the main shower leaking water into the kitchen.

[dusty rune]

i should start practicing german actually if i want to get a DSD

[vapid zephyr]

Depends, do you mind a lot of East European immigrants? East Germany is where you want to go

Do you want to earn more but spend more but don't care about immigrants that don't speak an ounce of English but probably just speak in Turkish, Arabic or Russian? Sure, West Germany is for you

You hate Germany in its entirety? Bavaria

[dusty rune]

interesting

[vapid zephyr]

The latter is just a meme, the Bavarians are alright

[elfin solar]

"You hate Germany in its entirety? Bavaria" 😆

[vapid zephyr]

But you won't be speaking much High German there, so might not be that great to learn German

[dusty rune]

im pretty "forced" to get a DSD due to my highschool anyway

[dusty rune]

might need to follow the trend and go to east germany then

[vapid zephyr]

Hi chat

[dusty rune]

entire diploma to show that i know german

[vapid smelt]

What places in Germany use yummy clean brown coal power plants? (For those that dont know brown coal is the worst type)

[dusty rune]

basically my school teaches primarily in german, or at least should, but realistically i only have like 4 classes that we speak german in

[vapid zephyr]

No, ignoring the memes, in East Germany you earn less but spend less, in West Germany you earn more but spend more. You have by far the most immigrants in West Germany, but it doesn't really matter that much. Germans are used enough to their chancellor letting literally anyone become a German citizen that has even an ounce of German heritage that Germans are generally speaking either very welcoming or non-caring about you.

East Germany has like nice buildings and shit everywhere, I only know like one place in West Germany that looks really good and medieval-modern-ish and that is literally a resort-village

[vapid zephyr]

That is the wrong question to ask

To correct you;
Which places in Germany do NOT use yummy clean brown coal power plants?

[vapid smelt]

But I want to taste the brown coal in the air

[vapid zephyr]

My point is that it's everywhere, no worries

Just go in a major city and take a deep breath, then immediately be surprised how clean the air is because there is, compared to most places in the world, trees everywhere in the city

[dusty rune]

huh, weird
so people in the east go to the west even though the east is closer to their homes..

[vapid zephyr]

Polish people don't, dw

Germans have an entire meme going on about how the moment you take a step in Poland, you'll be missing at least one item from when before you took a step inside Poland

Someone is building an apple Lisa clone

[vapid zephyr]

Germany does 45 or so percent of it's energy in renewable energy, gets crowned climate pioneer

Norway does 98% each year and nobody gives a fuck

[polar fern]

Tried to share the post, but warship

[oak kindle]

45% of germanys energy probably makes up a way larger absolute output than 98% of norways id imagine

[vapid smelt]

But Norway is small

5.4 million people

[gilded quest]

Little baby country

[vapid zephyr]

Oh absolutely, the question is however if that excuses the fact of extremely slow implementation of renewable energy sources

Germany at some point, even before the pandemic, straight up stopped building anything related to renewable energy

That shit went to the military trying to fix the Leopards that break down by driving in mud (literally)

[vapid smelt]

But tanks where specifically made for mud...

[oak kindle]

would implementing renewable energy sources for 45% of germany not take way more resources than 98% of norway?

proportionally

[stray apex]

mud built different

[vapid zephyr]

Not quite, considering Germany also has a proportionally much larger workforce as Norway

[oak kindle]

its not about the workforce, its about the opportunity cost, no?

[vapid smelt]

Around the time Russia started to move in with Ukraine?

[oak kindle]

germany has way higher exports or whatever id imagine

[stray apex]

germany has been weirdly pro coal before that

[vapid zephyr]

That shouldn't be much of an issue to them considering they're the fourth largest economy on the planet lol

[vapid zephyr]

If they have excess electricity sure thing, export it

[vapid smelt]

I would understand why Germany likes using coal more if it wasn't legit the worst kind of coal

It's cheap and in your own backyard

[velvet root]

We need a few for das oonst that doesn't involve atomz

[vapid zephyr]

To be fair, they kinda had to do that because the population kinda had a massive panic, since Fukushima was only 25 years after Chernobyl and countries went to great length explaining people that nuclear power isn't that dangerous

And they also considered re-activating the nuclear power plants too

Got shut down by the parliament though iirc

What was their alternative? You guessed it bud, they reactivated some coal power plants until 2024! Genius. 🤝

[vapid smelt]

Even accounting in the accidents coal killed way more people, but people don't care about slow deaths just the big scary nuclear meltdownd

Nuclear is so safe we put them in submarines and send them to the depths of the oceans

[tepid bolt]

I remember there was one guy who licked uranium salts to prove radioactivity wasn't that dangerous

[vapid zephyr]

Tbf if a sub went boom in the depths, nothing would really happen

[vapid zephyr]

Did he get cancer afterwards

[vapid smelt]

Radioactive giant squids!

[tepid bolt]

Yes at age 86

[vapid zephyr]

Fair enough

People will still use that as an argument, but damn, not bad

[vapid smelt]

Did he say what it tasted like?

[tepid bolt]

He outlived most of his generation

[vapid smelt]

If you provide me uranium salts and 300k usd I will lick it

[terse kelp]

[vapid zephyr]

Even if he were to do it, there likely won't be any issues up until after like a decade or so

You have excess? No issue, just sell them

I actually do know a dude in Germany that has a small hut where he has like a box full of eggs inside and you pay like €2 to get a 10 egg box

You'll always have warm pool water I suppose that's a plus

[vapid smelt]

Now I want to try it

[karmic flame]

me 2, I would bring my flippers

[vapid zephyr]

You could absolutely do it if you really wanted to and had the opportunity to, has been tested plenty times before

[vapid smelt]

The reactor went to in Idaho had no pools and was shut down for decades

[karmic flame]

Wonder if you filled one of those Deep sea diving suits with water but were still able to breath it would work better than the current anti radiation suits? lol would be heavy af tho

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Deep_Sea_Diving_Suit.jpg

Idk what they were made out of so I can't say

I'd figure the suits would be better though since they're made out of basically everything that's radiation resistant

So lead, rubber, carbon, you name it

Also depends, are we talking a TRIGA reactor or an actual powered reactor

whats wrong with it

[waxen stream]

ah

[hasty wyvern]

oh, part of the wheelcap is missing

[vapid zephyr]

Oh nah, you can see a good bit of hole in there, that's affecting the wheel itself as well

[hasty wyvern]

oh

[vapid zephyr]

Let's play the gameshow to guess when that pops

[vapid smelt]

Next pothole

[low rain]

one of my moms cars has a needle in one of the tires so she gotta get that fixed

[vapid smelt]

On the tread or side wall?

[long briar]

I think people forget this a LOT, like "why don't people just use bluetooth in the pool so that the device stays dry?"

[long briar]

If it's in the tread and you can't get it out, leave it. If it's in the tread and you CAN get it out, take the wheel off, pull it out and patch it using a toolkit, if it's in the sidewall it's fucked.

[vapid smelt]

And if it's too close to the edge it can't be repaired

[long briar]

It technically can be repaired, but it's not safe to use

[polar fern]

Sidewall carries all of the weight & pressure. Hole there is new tire.

[vapid smelt]

But of silicon and duct tape can fix anything

[vapid zephyr]

If the situation is dire, get flexseal

Because bro, they cut a boat in half, that shit's gotta work

[polar fern]

I think it’s one of those 3 part wheels, where the spokes are one bit & the two rings that you bolt together with a gasket.

You can see rotor in there

sadly i've discovered a channel which has been hacked with the session hijack thing again

[low rain]

When I told my dad I’m getting another monitor bro really said “one is enough, why do you need two?”

Knowing damn well I spend 60% of my life sitting on my computer on call with friends while playing games

[vapid smelt]

I have 4

[full fossil]

waiting for the day I see a flash of light and a second later a giant ass shockwave

[still light]

Can't wait really

[hollow knot]

If you aint got 9, are you really a gamer???

@dusty rune WoopyMan😈

[indigo plume]

games this year have been kinda meh

[low rain]

monday im going to start going to this one robotics team meetings

[wispy marsh]

Why do americans still have a MM-DD-YYYY structure? It confuses me and I don't like it

[last solstice]

alr I wana hear out the internet reasoning cause I feel like my friends didnt give a good enough reason

so if I go into a train and I like jokingly talk about someone doing a bombing thread

lets say some people can also hear me

am I the bad person or are people just thin skinned

[round trellis]

what kind of pc would i get for 910 usd? like mid end or high end?

[last solstice]

mid

[round trellis]

i got a laptop instead but I'm saving again , so im asking about pc

[last solstice]

should run basically all games

[tepid jasper]

no you're just a dumbass about joking that in public

i wouldn't want to associate with someone that is talking like that with me

[round trellis]

mid-low ish or mid-mid ish?
like low ish is the 1440p @30fps and mid ish is the 1440 @60fps

[tepid jasper]

in private sure but on a train?

[last solstice]

ok but like its literally a joke I literally do not have a bumb

[tepid jasper]

and?

[last solstice]

yea mid

[round trellis]

i can get a 6750xt or 3700ti for my build along with a i5 12500f too

[low rain]

There’s guest over so now I’m making burgers

[tepid jasper]

that sounds uncomfortable as hell to be around

[round trellis]

right?

[last solstice]

yea I guess the uncomfortable part is true

[round trellis]

i got a 3050 laptop for 910 usd 💀💀

[tepid jasper]

i don't think that's about being thin skinned, that's just bad vibes to be seen hanging around with

[last solstice]

ok but exploasions are cool

[mint yacht]

And how exactly do you expect other people who have just barely heard you to know it's a joke?

[tepid jasper]

^

[mint yacht]

And also, really, jokes are supposed to be funny, not that

[tepid jasper]

just joke about it in private to an audience that wants to hear it

[last solstice]

yall are weird :|. wait guess im the weird one

[round trellis]

what do y'all think?
think i can get a 3070ti and i5 12500f system under 1000usd?

[tepid jasper]

if your friends don't want to hear it either don't associate with them or just don't make such jokes around them

[last solstice]

I still do not think its that much of a bad vibe

like yo we would be on the news the pres would talk about it and stuff

[brazen pagoda]

this server is ass

[round trellis]

ive seen people use 1080 and 1070 in 2023 so im guessing 3070 will atleast be used till 2027

[last solstice]

lmao CIA is on me

[tepid jasper]

no? but if i were on the same train, and i heard "bomb" without context, i'd get off at the next stop

[round trellis]

did you or did you not assassinate John f Kennedy?

[last solstice]

thats fair

[brazen pagoda]

nobody is on you ok nobody cares about you. you are not special

[last solstice]

I K R so true

[brazen pagoda]

i know

[last solstice]

literally about to drive off a cliff fr

[mint yacht]

You are free to leave at any time

[last solstice]

no one would give a damn

[brazen pagoda]

i know

[tepid jasper]

anyone have any mouse pad recommendations?

[brazen pagoda]

bye

[round trellis]

any pc geeks here?

[last solstice]

lttstore .com

[tepid jasper]

stealth mousepad seems enticing but i'm shopping around atm

[round trellis]

any mouse pad is ok unless you're using a carpet

[low rain]

I burnt my pinky finger yay

[mint yacht]

lmao

[tepid jasper]

just want something durable and comfortable to use

[last solstice]

sir basically everyone is like pc madlad here

[tepid jasper]

i'm pretty happy with my 8 dollar corsair mousepad but it's starting to fray

tbf it's been a couple of years though

[round trellis]

its not smart to spend more than 5 bucks on a mouse pad

[last solstice]

honestly the ltt mouse pad is good

[round trellis]

wish they shipped to india

[last solstice]

I wana try and get glass feet for my mouse

[tepid jasper]

yeah it's pretty cost competitive as well

[last solstice]

thats and F

[tepid jasper]

at least for me after shipping

i don't mind spending an extra couple of bucks if it goes to lmg as well

[round trellis]

one of the disadvantages of living in india
i never win any online giveaways
cannot buy literally any merchandise from any youtuber
cannot buy anything cheap online (no bestbuy in india)

[last solstice]

like here is the thing i have spilled so much shit on it and it still not bad

[round trellis]

• the used market in india is shit

[tepid jasper]

you washed it though, right...?

[last solstice]

ofc bruh

[round trellis]

the only viable option in india is alibaba but it's all just scam here

[tepid jasper]

yeah i guess i'll cop a mousepad and a waterbottle instead of the screwdriver

[last solstice]

never spilled a sugary drink on it though so take it with some salt

[tepid jasper]

would love to get an ltx limited screwdriver but honestly i can't bring myself to spend more than 100 cad on a screwdriver since i wouldn't be using it regularly, so i'll probably get the waterbottle in addition to the deskpad which i would use regularly

[tepid jasper]

nah i don't like drinking sugary drinks outside the kitchen as the majority of my house is carpeted

[round trellis]

i have a 2usd mouse pad with a "crossfire" thingy logo and something written on Chinese
been using it since 2011 , haven't disappointed me since.

[tepid jasper]

so i'd probably be drinking water anyways

[last solstice]

bro my most sugary drink is water 💀 (unless my friends forces a redbull down my throught then thats the one)

[tepid jasper]

water is great

👍 every other drink is mid relative to water

[last solstice]

booul of whaaer

[last solstice]

my ranking : other drinks < water < tea

[tepid jasper]

tea is good but sometimes just water is better to me

it just depends on my mood

[last solstice]

I drink tea every night its been etched into ma brain -_-

any how ama go back to doing bombing threats in public

(I look middle eastern too feels so funneh )

[low rain]

Other drinks < water < tea < Dr.Pepper

[slim barn]

Other drinks < water < coffee < blood

[wispy marsh]

Yes, I know there's another video to the right. This is the one

[manic torrent]

but not hfcs dr pepper, it's disgusting. cane sugar dr pepper

[midnight elk]

If you like cane sugar beverages you should try ironbeer

Best Cuban soft drink there is

[manic torrent]

I live in australia. all our stuff is cane sugar

[midnight elk]

Ahhhh good

Hcfs sucks

I can't stand most sodas they make me sick

[last solstice]

aah yes

the chad vampire taste

[last solstice]

you listen to metal ?

[gentle plinth]

i love vernors

ginger beer

[slim barn]

I prefer the virgin variety but in a pinch chad will do.

[manic torrent]

they tried to kill the metal

[last solstice]

I fucking lovee metal

[vapid smelt]

But they failed, as they were smite to the ground

[wispy marsh]

I do, i wanna learn how to play

[near nymph]

Ah gosh... Vancouver

[last solstice]

:O I cannot stop listening to prog its been consuming my life

[low rain]

Guys I have a secret

I’m Batman

[near nymph]

I have a secret too! It's called. I don't give a shit 🙂

[vapid smelt]

I don't see any moose

[near nymph]

I have a road kill moose pic. But I'll get my ass beat if I post it

[blazing lily]

I fucking love the metal zone

New lens NEW LENS

[vapid smelt]

Looks heavy and bulky

[blazing lily]

thats what we want 😄

[wispy marsh]

I'm looking at a used MT-2 for $75 and a used MT-2w for $135. Recommendations?

[blazing lily]

what are you using it for?

[wispy marsh]

Learning the absolute basics

They are both in very nice condition

[blazing lily]

if you actually want to play metal with it, dont get an MT-2 lol

[wispy marsh]

Why not?

I'm looking at grunge and metal

[blazing lily]

they're very hissy and fizzy, don't really sound great unless you know what you're doing with it (that's why most people complain about it) - I use mine as a fuzz pedal for shoegaze

what amp do you have?

[wispy marsh]

Hissy and fizzy?

[full fossil]

Akamai has swallowed up Linode ;-; (knew this ages ago but it just clicked now)

[blazing lily]

yea, they're very "harsh" sounding pedals and you need to understand how to work the EQ to get it sounding good. It's quite a difficult pedal to get sounding good

If you're just getting started and want something mess around with and learn what you like/don't like, look at maybe a zoom G1on https://zoomcorp.com/en/jp/multi-effects/guitar-effects/g1on/

if you go for a multi-FX, you can play with lots of different distortions/effects, then later when you know what you want, you can buy the "real" version of the pedals

[wispy marsh]

The site says discontinued. In my local market, I see a Boss GT-1, Zoom g1x, Zoom G5, Line6 Floor pod

[blazing lily]

yeah something liek that will be good I think

i live in tokyo and i used to see a dude drive around one where i live quite frequently lol

[fallen cedar]

beautiful is a strong word

[wispy marsh]

You got experience with any of those?

[blazing lily]

Zoom G3, Zoom MS70CDR (amazing pedal) and a few other Boss/Zoom MFX pedals - they're not great but they're good for getting a feel for what you like, and good for creativity and experimentation

[tardy terrace]

[near nymph]

Lmfao I love not being IDed for drinks

[tardy terrace]

I have upgraded to the power of whiskey

and it is glorious

[manic torrent]

Yeah we have heaps of them in Australia

California has more unique and exotic cars than anywhere else in the world

[fallen cedar]

wait until you try amphetamines, shits another level

[manic torrent]

Does nothing for me

[tardy terrace]

excuSE

the most i ever do of uppers is caffeine

[manic torrent]

I take amphetamines every day

[tardy terrace]

ah yes legal crack

[fallen cedar]

ooeh on the spectrum u say

[fallen cedar]

eh chemically not similair but

[manic torrent]

No, ADHD. I mean I also am, but hey.

[tardy terrace]

"are you "not normal"? try legal crack!"

[manic torrent]

The thing is it doesn't have anything like the same effect due to fundamental differences in brain chemistry

[tardy terrace]

yesyes i know

[manic torrent]

Also as he said, crack is totally different

[fallen cedar]

well technically that depends what I bound on my specturm but sure 😄

[manic torrent]

Yes, except we both know what you meant :p

[fallen cedar]

fari enough

also

[fallen cedar]

yes please

wait until you hear about legal meff

[tardy terrace]

I prefer weed tbh, I have way less emotional ups/downs

[fallen cedar]

each their own

[eager venture]

Linus and Yvonne relationship is my goal in life

[gilded quest]

Nawww
Linus and Jake are relationship goals

[full fossil]

I aspire to Be a good father like jake is to linus

[pliant karma]

what about dennis

[minor rivet]

aight ive made a pcb...all the VCC lines are connected in the final model but the GND lines are not connected...idk what mistake ive made and sure all the wires in the schematic are connected...im new to pcb designing

[wispy marsh]

I see. Maybe I should get the zoom g1x or zoom g5

[tepid jasper]

not surprised, i think both australia and nz has a ton of jdm imports no?

[dusty rune]

whats up man

[low rain]

Some guy pushed me against the wall and literally slammed me into it while racing go-karts and now my leg hurts

[manic torrent]

yes, but they also were sold new here (not in that EXACT form, but same body)

NZ has way more japanese cars because they never had an auto industry. Unlike australia who decided to set money on fire maintaining and protecting the local car industry

[wet orchid]

NZXT

[near nymph]

Did you scream Daaaaaddy?

[idle nymph]

Not meh, straight ass

[lunar anchor]

bro, Tears of the kingdom, street fighter 6, fire emblem engage, metroid prime remastered, re4 remake, diablo 4, dead space, hifi rush, advance wars and Ishin

and thats not even looking at all of the friggen pc ports weve gotten and jedi survivor when it stops running like ass

[indigo plume]

I dont really count remasters

[idle nymph]

Add atomic heart to the list

[lunar anchor]

wasbt really a fan

[indigo plume]

They arent actually new games

[idle nymph]

Its quite good

[lunar anchor]

capcoms remasters are idk what your on

[idle nymph]

Resident evil 4 Was a New game

[indigo plume]

Every pc port has been broken on launch

This year

[lunar anchor]

they revamp the storys, change the scares, etc and the environments are entirely new

[lunar anchor]

except resident evil street fighter 6 diablo 4 and dead space

hifi rush ran smooth too but like i dont really count that as a port

[idle nymph]

Also atomic heart ran well

[indigo plume]

Well I didn't play streetfighter or hifi

Not interested in either

I find fighting games not very fun

[lunar anchor]

understandable but this has been a great year for games, weve had a ton of great games on top of tears of the kingdom

[indigo plume]

Fighting games only fun if ur good

[lunar anchor]

street fighter 6 has been an experience for me

its the first street fighter game ive had fun with

[indigo plume]

Plus out of the fighting game streetlights prob last I'd get

[lunar anchor]

also ike while not the best have a nice death was fun to satiate my need for silksong

[indigo plume]

I'd get like tekken guilty gear or mortal combat before that

[lunar anchor]

the pale beyond was also astoundingly good

[idle nymph]

Decent

Not great

We had good game and shit game and all those shit pc ports

[lunar anchor]

tears of the kingdom has been super fun for me, and for alot of other people

[indigo plume]

Tears if kingdom requires to play on 30 fps due to bad hardware

[lunar anchor]

we have had bad pc ports but we have had plenty of good games, if you look at purely the good games weve gotten its massive

[idle nymph]

And it still is funnier than all thé open World game we got this year

[lunar anchor]

if you use a gaming headset to play singleplayer games you are banned from saying stuff like this

[idle nymph]

[lunar anchor]

also i played at 4k upscaled to 8k 60

[indigo plume]

What does a headset have to do with fps

[lunar anchor]

the difference from 30 to 60 fps is much less of an issue than the difference a good set of cans makes for singleplayer games

[idle nymph]

Meh

[west sentinel]

what

[indigo plume]

30 fps is pathetic

[lunar anchor]

its what your movies run at

[indigo plume]

A movie vs a video game is completely different

[lunar anchor]

video games are interactive

im not saying it not having 60fps is good, but im saying that its not something to base a review off of

[idle nymph]

Its incredible that the switch even run it tbh

[lunar anchor]

audio design has been proven to impact your enjoyment of games and media much more than visuas overall and framerates above 30 while nice dont mean games that are at 30 are even remotely unplayable

[idle nymph]

And its still better than all thé open World we got this year

[indigo plume]

Fps>audio

[lunar anchor]

https://vtrep.com/audio-is-more-important-than-video-picture-quality/

[indigo plume]

Idc what some article says mate

[lunar anchor]

not an artice its a filmmaking journal

[indigo plume]

Fps has more impact on the gameplay experience than the music

[indigo plume]

Video games aren't films

[lunar anchor]

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/301020295.pdf, thius is a study on how sounds were shown to be more important in fps games than frames

[indigo plume]

I couldn't care less about how high def the sound is

[lunar anchor]

lemme put it this way, I have an 89" 120hz 8k tv and a speaker system i spent an ungodly amount of money on, if you were to ask me to replace either with a low end version it would be the tv every day

[indigo plume]

If I'm lagging I'm gunna have much worse experience than having bad audio

[lunar anchor]

idk about you but if i care at all about hearing the game music or whats going on having bad audio makes a game unplayable while a low resolution or it being at 30fps doesnt do that

[indigo plume]

Good for you I watch TV on default speakers

[lunar anchor]

great, im not trying to like shame you i wanna make that clear

my point being that 30fps is an acceptable framerate

[indigo plume]

Not in 2023

[lunar anchor]

and doesnt fully detract from a gameplay experience especialy in singeplayer games

[indigo plume]

Maybe 10 years ago

[lunar anchor]

bro redfall is running at 30fps on console and that is the last thing anyone compllains about

[indigo plume]

Or 5 a actually

Yeah and Redfall is terrible

[lunar anchor]

ye its a bad game, but it being 30 fps doesnt make it worse

[indigo plume]

Yes it does

[lunar anchor]

how so

[indigo plume]

Playing a choppy game makes experience worse its not hard to understand

[lunar anchor]

30fps isnt choppy when its stable

[indigo plume]

It'd like watching a movie with no color

[lunar anchor]

ill let you in on a little secret but your body does this llittle thing callled getting used to stuff

[lunar anchor]

how old are you?

[indigo plume]

What does age have to do with anything

[lunar anchor]

different ages research things differently im curiouse, this is more for a personal study ive been documenting

[indigo plume]

Mid 20s

[lunar anchor]

damn not what I predicted lmao

if your curiouse things ive found is that for things like a logitech keyboard, people above the age of 16 tend to avoid them in favor of a more well researched option and that tends to last till mid 30s

data could be way off ive only asked like 50 people

[blissful prawn]

So I don't know if anyone else follows him. but Major Hardware just 3d printed a hubless pc fan.......
And now I want one.

[lunar anchor]

i saw it, really made me regret shoving my pcs in a seperate room or in the wall lmao

[blissful prawn]

Just. Can mine not run at over 100db.....

[lunar anchor]

wouldnt care about the noise, but if I dont have a place to display a bc with one if I did lol

[blissful prawn]

So I think there is now a fan unique enough for LTT to review fans again.

[lunar anchor]

seems impractical

[blissful prawn]

LTT In a Nutshell

[lunar anchor]

i kinda wanna see ltt bench some dgx's

my dgx made some of their recent benches look like childs play

[distant wren]

whats a dgx?

[blissful prawn]

Expensive

[lunar anchor]

id love to get a deep dive into that, that way i can live vicariousley through linus as he takes apart the computer im to scared to take apart

[lunar anchor]

nvidia supercomputer module

i have one cus I do ML work remote, they are about 300-500k a pop

[distant wren]

well the advertiser needs to get it to them 🤷‍♂️ they are not going to buy them.

[lunar anchor]

lmaooo there aint no advertiser sending one to them they would need to find someone willing to let them play with one onsite

[blissful prawn]

May be you could just lend him time on yours....
