Anyone here know docsis 3.1?

I need help with my modem

I know what it is.

I need getting signal errors

[still light]

Signal errors in the modems log?

[hallow plank]

is there anyone here who can tell me the recommended db

I can send my status page

[hallow plank]

Yes, not sure exactly why

I guess this would count as networking so I'll send screenshots there

1650 on top, what the hell is wrong with people

What xx50-card is not awful value?

[graceful burrow]

Depends on what you use it for
Gaming? They're not so great yeah

[zenith cradle]

Sure if 50 cards just barely scratch the itch for some workstation, it's fine, but then you'd rather just buy the previous gen 60 card. And 50s were sold at enormous volumes to steam users, as you can see.

[lucid echo]

The answer is non-gaming family/office prebuilts, the lack of expendable income, and the fact that it's a survey of anyone with Steam installed, regardless of how much they actually game.

[zenith cradle]

What i learn from that list is that roughly half of gamers know litle of the price to performance, im very comfortable saying almost all of the xx50 users would upgrade to 60 cards if they were told of the numbers comparison.

[lucid echo]

You're ignoring the fact that most of those folks either can't afford an upgrade, don't have the knowledge/motivation of upgrading, or don't play games enough to care

Steam HW Survey is informative, but not absolute. It includes everyone from those with 3,000 hours in DOTA to the family kitchen computer where the 8yo daughter played a sims game once.

1650 was super widespread in basic Ryzen prebuilts, since they needed some form of dedicated graphics. I know two different people with one who have no issue with it, nor any desire to upgrade it.

[zenith cradle]

Sure, those are included, but 50s cards are horrendously over-repressented, and those cards are barely beating integrated AMD graphics, that i have been running for 2 years now.

[lucid echo]

They're over-represented only if you ignore all the context I just gave, yeah

[zenith cradle]

I specifically chose integrated graphics over 1650 or 3050 or 2050 to wait for a better value proposition.

[lucid echo]

That's because you're knowledgeable about PC hardware. The overwhelming majority of folks who buy a PC do not care at all.

Hell, one of the two people I know with a 1650 didn't even know they had a dedicated GPU. It plays Sims at an acceptable fps for their taste. That's all they need or care to have.

[crystal pike]

I personally feel bad for people who bought laptops with these cards
The performance is just so depressing

[lucid echo]

Wow, immediately left, good riddance

[zenith cradle]

20% of all steam users is too much for those cards, people would be fine with integrated graphics at the point they are so uninterested in value or power.

[lucid echo]

You're assuming they're making that decision in the first place

When odds are it's the prebuilt manufacturer who put the PC on the best buy shelf

Besides, they're all on the decline, if you look at percentage change

[zenith cradle]

Obviously it is their decision not to care or seek to know, i said that earlier. I'm perfectly aware many do not know or care, as i said earlier.

[lucid echo]

Then it should make sense, then! Congrats!

[zenith cradle]

Halv the blame is on AMD and Nvidia both for shafting 50 series cards so bad in the first place.

I can't really blame PC builders for not wanting to go bankrupt, they gotta put something together.

[lucid echo]

You will find the same phenomena in any industry. Corporations preying on people's inability to make a well-researched informed choice for absolutely everything they buy.

[zenith cradle]

Sure

[lucid echo]

• the fact that most people don't have the means to spend anything beyond the bare minimum

[low rain]

I have to go to my sisters graduation tmr and my dad said I have to wear a suit 😭

[fossil frost]

companies will also buy in bulk, whatever is cheapest to fulful their marketing needs... ie. "it has a gpu" sells better than "it has integrated graphics"

[zenith cradle]

Though i'm sure of those 20%, maybe half of them are your average gamer just not caring to learn what they are buying when buying a 50s card x)

[full fossil]

is the lightweight glorious wireless mouse good

[lucid echo]

And I'm sure they love their computer and the games they play on it

[fossil frost]

or thats all they could afford, and anything is better than nothing... or they are children whos parents chose the machine, or thats all that was available... there are many other options

[lucid echo]

Nothing wrong with that

[zenith cradle]

Come to think of it, i have a friend that bought a 3070 for 1000$, but he barely cares about gaming, just joins every now and then.

[lucid echo]

The majority of americans have less than $1000 in their life savings account

[zenith cradle]

50 series are not deserving of love or apperciation, not even the wattage they suck out of the grid

[fossil frost]

and that was their choice to spend that money on that epeen showoff thing they didnt need, but wanted, because thats what THEY wanted

[fossil frost]

thats your opinion, not all people are you

[zenith cradle]

correct, not all people are me.

imagine having and expressing an oppinion

[modest leaf]

Yall ever just sell your car to buy a 4090?

[fossil frost]

there is expressing an oppinion, and the way you express yours which boils down to "everyone other than me is wrong"

[modest leaf]

And then they deny your rma so you're stuck with a broken card and unable to get to your job interviews

[zenith cradle]

no, i sold my car to walk and use a wheelbarrow to carry large amounts of groceries

[lucid echo]

it is my opinion that your opinion is silly

silly geese

[fossil frost]

no, nobody did that, and you didnt either, please dont make up stupid lies for meaningless internet interaction

[modest leaf]

Yea I use a kiddie pull along trailer thing

[modest leaf]

Ok that's fine do you want to buy me a car then since you seem to care so much

[zenith cradle]

That would be at the core of the concept of -<opinions>-, we usually believe our own opinion to be correct, thus all other opinions would need to be thought of as wrong.

[fossil frost]

incorrect, you are entitled to believe your own opinion to be correct, but also be open to having that opinion changed, rather than blindly accepting your own opinion and ignoring all others no matter what is said

[modest leaf]

You literally just shot me down for admitting I made a mistake

[fossil frost]

no, i pointed out a lie

[modest leaf]

But then are preaching this tolerance

[zenith cradle]

Bizz is a silly goose

get a wheelbarrow and join us, bizz

[modest leaf]

[zenith cradle]

Let's hope 2025 brings atleast average value GPUs back

[lucid echo]

In case you haven't noticed - giving a hot take on the internet, without a qualifier that it's your opinion, doesn't usually go over very well. The context is lost to others.

[zenith cradle]

i miss the time when you could buy a 6 month old GPU for half msrp since the new version came out

[zenith cradle]

That has never needed to be stated 😄 if it triggers you to read an opinion or factoid you disagree with without declarations and disclaimers, that is a you problem.

[lucid echo]

It's not about getting upset from it - People love correcting others, and a statement without something like "imo" is an easy target. Don't be surprised when folks point it out

[dark edge]

thoughts on federation? In a federated model what kind of data should a trusted repository store? registered users, and...

Guys, thoughts on "Blitzwolf BW-GP1 750w 80p gold" ?

It's on sale on banggood for 48 bucks. Just wondering.

[polar fern]

Yeah!

[zenith cradle]

walking is for gigachads

[polar fern]

1750 watt?

[south stone]

I have a "do not recommend" tier psu (Sentey 650w mbp), was wondering if this was any good, stupid good price tbh.

[polar fern]

Prolly an improvement.

Walking is fine till you realise you top out at 5 mph.

if you have to go any type of distance,that isn’t going to work for grocerie.. stuff could get spoiled or damaged in the amount of time that would take you especially if the weather is hot

[fossil frost]

when i worked in an office, the days i didnt have the kids, i either cycled or ran, depending on what i could be arsed doing. some days, running was quicker than driving (had to drive on the days i have the kids)

[low rain]

wtf

[polar fern]

Using a Bike is far more efficient

Savings? HAH what’s that?

[lucid echo]

That's just a given

[fossil frost]

depends... if i run, that means my run training is done for that day and i dont have to do any extra training

so in that case... running was far more efficient

[polar fern]

Mhm. “Walk & use a wheelbarrow.” JFC

[lucid echo]

"efficient" being used differently here

you're burning more calories
bu you're conserving on time

words are lame

[polar fern]

You can coast

[fossil frost]

calorie burn was part of the goal too

[polar fern]

Try coasting when you walk.

[lucid echo]

that's what I be saying

[fossil frost]

try coasting when you are in a 10 mile time trial (cycle race), you very quickly fall down the list 🙂

i cycle and run because i compete in races, and i compete in races because i cycle and run... and... yeah

[polar fern]

One of the reasons why bicycles are so efficient is because you can put power into them sporadically and coast between

[zenith cradle]

i live 500m from 5 different grocery stores.

[polar fern]

Cool.

[lucid echo]

Sounds awful

[fossil frost]

sounds like you live IN a supermarket

[lucid echo]

Tiananmen still processing that other people exist

[zenith cradle]

I don't actually live in a big city, even got a big house big garden and big forest and a fort next to my house :p

[polar fern]

.3 miles is like a 2 minute ride

[zenith cradle]

perfect balance of centrality and remoteness

[fossil frost]

i live in between 3 large golf courses, on the top of a large hill... its awesome, because when everywhere floods, im sat on top of my hill, dry 😄

[polar fern]

Big forest next to your house is actually a liability. But you know “location, location, location”

[zenith cradle]

location is big, saves me so much money.

at some point location is too pricey, like big cities and areas next to big cities, in certain countries :1

[fossil frost]

0.3 miles is just over 450 metres, 2 minutes is race pace for running, or bearly moving on the bike

[polar fern]

it looks like the birds are finally recovered from the horrendous air quality wildfire smoke emergency the other day

Wow all kinds of wildlife outside emerging from trees & brush

[zenith cradle]

why tho

[fossil frost]

if you live in a place that regularly has forrests that are on fire, you dont want to live near them

[zenith cradle]

i have never seen or even smelled a forest fire in my 3-ish decades

[fossil frost]

i have a forest at either end of where i live just beyond the golf courses... neither have been on fire... ever... yet the moores about 5 miles from my house, has spent about 3 weeks of every one of the last 10 years on fire 😄

[polar fern]

Well for one, there could be predators that you don’t want to interact with.. two there could be a fire.. three you can have all kinds of pollen and stuff that you could be allergic to .. 4 you could have invasive species get into the woodlands and destroy it and 5, you could have weather take down a bunch of trees and damage property and block roadways and take out utilities

[fossil frost]

there are deer, foxes, rabbits, squirrels and other such animals in these ones 😄

i nearly ran square into a deer while out running a few weeks ago... and nearly stood on a fox a couple of years ago... a fox... all red and white... was somehow very well disguised on the green grass...

was running on my own through once of the forests during one of the covid lockdowns in the uk, later on in the evening... and heard the underbrush russtling, for a few minutes... and then almost shat myself when this dear just leapt out in front of me and bounced off down the path

[strange elk]

Oh no

[fossil frost]

i wonder what i would get on cinebench r15 doing the computations by hand

[near nymph]

Anyone have experience with Amazon basics bags? I'm looking at one but not sure.

[slate tulip]

I know what “Amazon Basic” is - but is that just a bag sold by Amazon, or something else?

[near nymph]

How long do you expect it to last? Also which one specifically

[molten drift]

Amazon Basics Backpack for SLR Cameras and Accessories-Black https://a.co/d/ghN976b

[slate tulip]

oh! Are we sharing bikes?

[molten drift]

I mean ild like it to last like 1-2 years using as weekend bag for playing magic the gathering. To transport deck boxes from my house to the game store

[molten drift]

Bikes? That's a camera bag?

[slate tulip]

no, sorry. Was referring to an earlier conversation, but didn't reply fast enough before you asked 😆

[molten drift]

Ahh

[slate tulip]

I can't share images in here, but i have one of these. Love it, but need to use it more:
https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radrover-plus-electric-fat-tire-bike

[near nymph]

Eh yeah probably will last with light use

[molten drift]

I mean literally it's gonna go from my closet to my car seat to the chair in the game shop and then repeat in reverse... Not like I'm playing Frank West

[fossil frost]

Fatty MTBs are the best MTBs, and it being an ebike makes it exactly what you want for commuting and MTB 😁

[slate tulip]

Yeah! I love it. Need to find more places near me to bike, and ideally, people to bike with

one friend was going to start biking with me, but had some serious life stuff come up and hasn't been able too

[fossil frost]

My MTB is a 27.5 plus, so not quite a fatty, but fatter than regular. Was gonna go out on it this evening in the local hills, but we had a huge lightning storm, so I decided "fuck that"

[slate tulip]

I got the nice accessories for it too - the side bags, and the rack on the back. Even got a nice battery - I plan to get a phone mount and run a wire to a seperate baterry in the back

[fossil frost]

I don't even bother taking spares or tools with me, I go with shorts, t-shirt, shoes and bike 😁

[polar fern]

Excuse me.

I’d like to take a moment.

[slate tulip]

[polar fern]

To talk to you about your cars extended warranty.

[fossil frost]

FYI, if you fall off a mountain bike and scrape all the skin from your shoulder, it takes about 3 weeks to regrow that skin

That dislike ratio isn't PC users clutching their pearls (though I'm sure some of it definitely is tribal weirdos)

[polar fern]

Dislike ratio?

[fossil frost]

We can't see the real ratio, only a guess from a browser extension

Also, I hate swipe to type on this phone

[astral harness]

I know how the extension works

[simple isle]

Is Linus even in this server

[polar fern]

No.

[fossil frost]

No

[slate tulip]

I don't think Linus Torvalds even has a discord account

[mint yacht]

Yes, but they very rarely make an appearance

[slate tulip]

I invited him to lunch once, he didn't take me up on it

[mint yacht]

What with being busy doing literally anything else

[polar fern]

Hidden?

Used to be that we could see his username

[slate tulip]

meanwhile, I browse discord while at work 😆

[polar fern]

🤔

[mint yacht]

Yep

[slate tulip]

I mean, there's a user with the account name "linustech" - so, either him, or someone going to lose their username to discord's anti-impersonation policy?

[polar fern]

Nah it’s just “Linus”

[mint yacht]

Which is a little funny that I've disclosed his existence, but one can find that he does exist in this server relatively easily lol

[slate tulip]

I find it... awkward myself. Like, I've never met the guy, or watched his videos, and I think parasocial relationships are stupid, so I couldn't care less

but lots of people really care about that sort of thing

[slate tulip]

Ah. Well, according to discord, they should do something, in theory. Dude has a Linus Sebastion profile picture and a username of "linustech". Another has "reallinustech"

[polar fern]

I’m on the autism spectrum so I have no idea what’s going on with any social interaction.

[slate tulip]

imagine getting ahead of others in line to get your name change, and then wasting it on impersonating someone else

[simple isle]

@wraith sparrow nope

[polar fern]

Name change?

[slate tulip]

iirc, the very first name changes were discord partners impersonating youtube celebrities

[simple isle]

Oh I found him

[slate tulip]

don't randomly ping people dude

[simple isle]

His name is “linustech” you can’t ping him cuz it’s blacklisted

[slate tulip]

it's one thing if you have an existing relationship with a person

[simple isle]

Well I was tryna see if the name was blacklisted

[polar fern]

🤔

[simple isle]

I randomly get pings in servers, probably on accident or something like that, I usually just ignore it

Also I think it might be a old account

Cuz they haven’t changed their tag yet

[slate tulip]

doesn't mean it isn't a socially acceptable behaviour. If they are active in a conversation, that's one thing

[polar fern]

🤣

[slate tulip]

or it's relevant to them in some way. But just pinging someone to see if they exist is not cool

[simple isle]

“socially acceptable behavior”? Is this court?

[slate tulip]

no, it's social media, where social behaviour matters

[gilded forge]

I know that Ludwig had a username prompt before anyone in his server ever did.

[slate tulip]

idk who ludwig is

[polar fern]

Who?

[mint yacht]

They have a bunch of posts in floatplane chat

[simple isle]

I knew he existed, and I also knew it would be blacklisted. So on my side of the equation, I assumed I wouldn’t ping anyone, due to the ping being blacklisted.

[full fossil]

Ludwig von ahgren is an amazing chess player

[polar fern]

Dang. I can’t join floatplane

[gilded forge]

ludwig ahgren

[simple isle]

look at Twitter and maybe your opinions will change

[slate tulip]

I think "blacklisting" is dumb. Making one user more "special" or "untouchable" than another is dumb, so I didn't make that assumption

[slate tulip]

doesn't ring a bell

[slate tulip]

no? Just because people are dumb on twitter doesn't make it "right"

[polar fern]

Imagine using twitter.

[simple isle]

yes? because if it wasn’t acceptable, they would all of their accounts would be terminated. but it is acceptable. Not necessarily “right”, but acceptable

[slate tulip]

the proper way to solve a problem is to say "randomly pingin any user is bad" and then punish it, including your "celebrity" or dev, or whoever/whatever you put on that pedestal

[slate tulip]

umm... you seem to confuse "behaviour that violates terms of service" with "socially unacceptable"

[polar fern]

It’s not a pedestal. It’s to reduce spam.

[simple isle]

Well, that means your opinions are conflicting with one another. You say pinging someone with no relevancy is wrong, and a content creator would naturally be pinged many times. It would be stupid to blacklist everyone. Then conversations like this wouldn’t even be possible

[gilded forge]

content creators usually mute pings or make themselves unpingable.

[slate tulip]

not at all, what even?

[polar fern]

Mhm

[simple isle]

and “randomly pining a user = bad” won’t always be the solution either. You may want to showcase a channel in a server to a friend, just to help them, and you get punished for it

[amber canopy]

where do you get sata data transfer cables, im salvaging an old laptop hard drive and all i can find are the sata power cables

🗿

[slate tulip]

man, if platforms banned people for any behaviour that was deemed socially unacceptable, they wouldn't any users. That doesn't make it magically "okay".

[simple isle]

yah I know, and it’s very smart to do

[polar fern]

Data?

[amber canopy]

the long thing on the sata connectors

[simple isle]

if it’s not okay, or against the rules, to say something in a server, or on Twitter, I would assume they’d be punished?

[slate tulip]

always dumb in opinion. Learn to manage your notifications. You can set DnD etc.

[slate tulip]

no one except you said anything about rules

[amber canopy]

h shit im an idiot pretend nothing happened here

[slate tulip]

I said "socially unacceptable"

[polar fern]

One ping to rule them all, one ping to find them, One ping to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of Floatplane where the pilots fly.

[simple isle]

? Not necessarily about rules. But one would assume you’re talking about what’s allowed and what’s not, as “acceptable” suggests

[timid ember]

Ey boyz yall got your names locked in? xD

[slate tulip]

hitting on a random person on the internet and professing your undying love when they don't even know you is socially unacceptable and very awkward. Doesn't really get you banned anywhere, just laughed at

[gilded forge]

I have all but one of the servers muted for regular notifications (and the big ones muted for all notifications), and the only one thats not muted for anything is the one with just me and my groups of 15 or so online friends.

[polar fern]

All my servers are muted.

[simple isle]

Yeah I understand that. But using “unacceptable” just isn’t correct in my personal opinion.

[slate tulip]

exactly. Because you are a reasonable and technically competant human being who doesn't yell at other people for mentioning or replying to them

[polar fern]

..

[slate tulip]

you can have your opinion - but it's wrong ;)

[simple isle]

you can have your opinion - but it’s wrong :)

[polar fern]

You can -keep- your opinion… 🥳

[slate tulip]

thankfully. Was very anxious about it. I hate being forced to add shit to my username

[polar fern]

?

[slate tulip]

my username is "gorian". Not "gorian0001", "gor1an", "gorian2000" etc etc

[timid ember]

Yeaa i was surprised I got Uplay

[gilded forge]

alright well everyone can have their own definition of "socially unacceptable." some people, like me, who can't notice or identify any sort of social or behaviorial cue, will not have the same definition of "unacceptable."

[slate tulip]

well, usually it's something defined by a majority, rather than personal opinion

[gilded forge]

isn't that Ubisoft's weird game thing

[timid ember]

Old launcher they used

[slate tulip]

like, even as someone on the autism scale, I know that going up and petting a random person in the grocery store is socially unacceptable, even if I don't get hauled away by the police

[polar fern]

Ewe play, the woolly launcher

[timid ember]

It kinda stuck as my irl nickname

[gilded forge]

right. well publishers making their own launchers for their games is utterly stupid

[polar fern]

…

[timid ember]

Now its called ubisoft connect

[slate tulip]

agreed. Everyone always wants slices of pie, and they always seem to forget that the pie size is limited. To get more slices, they have to be smaller

[full fossil]

when you want to make more money off the game you produced thats the way to go

[slate tulip]

I don't want 5000 different streaming sites, I just want one. The more you split available content up into different sites, the less I care. I can't even keep track of all the streaming sites available anymore. I just started running my own plex server

I was fine paying for netflix back when it was the largest slice of the pie. I even subscribed to Disney+. But I can't keep up anymore

[gilded forge]

yeah Steam takes 30% or something like that ig. but i wouldn't have the issue if they were..good. Most of these individual publisher launchers were broken as fuck, hardly ever worked as intended, and had more bugs than Cyberpunk at launch.

[slate tulip]

the issue everyone forgets is - nothing really launches and is perfect. Steam used to suck too. But now it doesn't. Just let it be, all happy and user friendly on its throne

[gilded forge]

It's pretty much just Steam, GOG, and Epic now.

[slate tulip]

the only way I'd be happy with any competition is if I can transfer my existing library

I hate having to manage multiple libraries and remember what game is where

[gilded forge]

And Xbox too ig, but no one really buys games for Windows on the Windows Store anymore

[full fossil]

If I can figure out my PC issue, I'll be playing all night. What games do you guys like?

[gilded forge]

I basically just have two - GOG and Steam. GOG has sales, discounts, and giveaways every day; so indies and older PC games are basically all I have on GOG, because they practically give away games for pennies. and Steam is..well it's Steam.

[gilded forge]

Play the Mass EFfect Trilogy.

[slate tulip]

currently playing Diablo 4

[slate tulip]

yeah. I have Steam, GOG, random free or gifted shit on EA's platform, free or gifted shit on uplay, and then battle.net

[full fossil]

I played Andromeda on Xbox one, but that was rough.

[full fossil]

How do you like it? I've always preferred path of exile, but the new diablo looks awesome.

[slate tulip]

I like Path of Exile except the end game

like, the game and the mechanics are great, but I want to play the game

not "business simulator: RPG edition"

[full fossil]

Hopefully the second one has better endgame.

[gilded forge]

yeah don't do that. Andromeda is really rough. It's the worst Mass Effect game. the best one is Mass Effect 1 imo.

[slate tulip]

I got to the end game, and to keep up with my friends, we'd spend all weekend trying to make trade deals for the perfect BiS item to actually be able to use a build

and if you didn't do that, your build wasn't good enough to run the later maps

it sucked all the fun right out of the game for me

meanwhile, I haven't made it to the Diablo 4 endgame yet, don't have the time to nolife it. But it's been fun so far

[full fossil]

If I don't just chuck this PC out the window, I'll give that a try thanks.

[near nymph]

It's likely that they have a filter on the video

[manic torrent]

yeah homeworld was the woooooorst for this. You could make it to the end map, then you realised that the only way to win was to have focused every single battle previously on not losing ships as much as possible, and stealing as many ships as possible to get over the unit count.

[slate tulip]

oof, that's dumb

so are you saying Anthony has changed gender ID?

it is real or some kind of joke?

[ebon otter]

I don’t know

[timid meadow]

This happened ages ago. Yall wanna be children be children. But yes. Who you once knew as Anthony, is a woman named Emily

[ebon otter]

Sad

[shy kelp]

well if its real good for her. I don't care, they are smart as hell when it comes to PC builds and OCing etc.

[gilded forge]

I swear some people are on the verge of being blatantly transphobic.

[timid meadow]

Only one whos sad is anyone who gives a shit. Doesnt effect you in any way

[shy kelp]

totally

[ebon otter]

I don’t believe it’s right as a Christian. It makes me sad to see people make ungodly choices.

[shy kelp]

oh fuck

[hasty geode]

Turbocringe take. Yikes

[timid meadow]

Love thy neighbor. You dont have to be the same as them, but you get 0 say in the morality of their actions

[slate tulip]

I'm a Christian and I can tell you what the bible says about it

"For this is the greatest commandment, to love your neighbor as yourself"

[ebon otter]

What donomanatiln

[slate tulip]

in fact, I'm 100% certain he didn't say that

[full fossil]

Is that included with gamepass ultimate? If so, I have it from my Xbox one 😄

[timid meadow]

Thats irrelevant. If your religion is hate, youre wrong

[timid meadow]

Yes indeed! Enjoy!

[ebon otter]

It’s not hate

[timid meadow]

Can you prove they are wrong? No? Then dont judge them.

[broken folio]

Denying others existence is hate. You can believe in whatever skyfairy you choose, but you don't get to impose that on others.

[timid meadow]

Shitting on people and calling it "sad" is just you trying to hide your bullshit. You either care or you dont 🤷

[slate tulip]

if you read your bible, then you know that God convicts the heart, not men. Judgement is for God alone. Our job as christians is to love, without exceptions

[ebon otter]

God made us in his image. If we go change it then it is ungodly

[timid meadow]

Says who?

[shy kelp]

sure doesn't feel like love, respect, or understanding to me

[lilac sage]

I mean if ur a christian and you get tats...maybe google why its not accepted

[ebon otter]

I respect him. He’s still a pc wizard

[hasty geode]

If you think it's morally or religiously wrong, you get to pray quietly and privately for them, not post shit online and comment publicly on other people.

[slate tulip]

oh, you mean like Jesus said, to no be like the Pharisees who proclaim their "Good Deeds" for all to see?

[crude jasper]

ok ~ so you do you. America first, then god. our personal rights are the most valuable assets we have

as is most countries

[ebon otter]

God first

[shy kelp]

and here is the thing guys, I have been a vegetarian for more than half of my life... and I'm pretty fucking old. I whole heartedly do not agree with all you that eat meat. But guess what. You well never hear me talk about it. Because its pointless. If you disagree with a societal norm than just learn how to deal with it. It's not worht it to constantly go against your family, neighbors, and co workers.

[slate tulip]

Jesus said "by this, all men will know that you are my disciples, by loving one another"

[broken folio]

Go spout your cult somewhere else.

[lilac sage]

i mean you seperate church and state. up to you which to prioritize.

[slate tulip]

and definitely not "by forcing it down other people's throats" or "starting controversial arguments on the internet"

[ebon otter]

Omg I never said I hated him. All I said was that it Saddens me

[slate tulip]

Just saying, first remove the plank from your own eye

[shy kelp]

then keep your "sadness" to yourself

[broken folio]

By using wrong pronouns for her you're being hateful.

[crude jasper]

Ok ~ so if i tattoo, pierce, or do any alterations at all to my body, its ungodly?

[lilac sage]

according to the bible yes

[crude jasper]

so i cant straighten my teeth either if they're crooked, got it

[lilac sage]

of course most christians dont even read or follow the bible so it doesnt really matter

[slate tulip]

According to the Old Testament, to be fair

[shy kelp]

I think jerking off goes against the bible too. Good luck on that one guys lol

[slate tulip]

Jesus says that the old laws have passed away, and that all of them are fulfilled in love your neighbor as yourself

[broken folio]

Quite a number cherry pick the bits they like it often feels like.

[slate tulip]

definitely does not

[ebon otter]

I disagree

[shy kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/perfect-popcorn-michael-jackson-gif-26271837

[slate tulip]

the only passage really used to say that's bad is actually a passage saying "don't disobey god and spill your stuff on the ground when I told you to impregnate your wife" and has nothing at all to do with that

onan has zero to do with that, and everything to do with disobeying a direct order from God

definitely misquoted

[ebon otter]

You just proved yourself wrong

[slate tulip]

No at all. Unless you mean to take a very literal view? "it's okay if I do it in a sock or tissue, as long as it doesn't touch the floor"?

the issue was disobedience, God wasn't nitpicking about tiny details like that

[ebon otter]

I’m just gonna go

[broken folio]

Probably for the best.

[shy kelp]

lol one of my comments just got blocked.. by a key word lol

[timid meadow]

I am my own god. Your right. Me first

[slate tulip]

Yeah, automoderation bots suck

[shy kelp]

what about the Bhagavad Gita?

For me, (me personaly!! I'm not saying for you!) Bhagavad Gita > the holy bible. And I'm a white, Midwest raised American

[timid meadow]

My general life rules. No religion attached 🤷

[gilded forge]

I forgot my LTT water bottle when I went to the gym today and had to drink out of a plastic disposable bottle like a filthy sweaty peasant.

[shy kelp]

lets go back to talking about video games and PCs lol

anyone else playing Diablo IV?

[winged basin]

I guess my pc will die out and won't last

[rough birch]

Interesting name choice. Anyway, haven't Heard of Diablo b4, what's it?

[winged basin]

"gigabyte"

[gilded forge]

rpg in hell

fox news hates it

[rough birch]

: ) Gonna steam it to piss them off then.

[urban thistle]

So I had a SanDisk 64 GB USB plugged into my router to see if I could access it on my computer three weeks ago “I couldn’t” but then this week the Internet just stopped working. We can connect to the Internet but we can’t go online or search anything up and my parents think that means that’s a USB is doing that. How do I tell them that they are a dumbass and that is not the reason why the Internet is not working correctly without getting in more trouble

[timid meadow]

Please go watch the recent Gamersnexus news vid on Gigabyte if you have one of their motherboards

[rough birch]

Does ur router not support file sharing? Ik my last one did so I thought that was a more common thing. Unless they started using it to connect printers or something

[timid meadow]

By showing them the issues dont get fixed when the usb isnt there

[slate tulip]

lol, people come up with the weirdest justifications

[primal crystal]

I want to cry

[slate tulip]

"the spanish name for the devil, and the hebrew symbol for "666", they are trying to brainwash our kids into loving Satan!"

[timid meadow]

Its called adulting. Youll get used to it kek

[slate tulip]

Karen, it's a video game, about killing demons, shouldn't you love it?

[primal crystal]

pc ded, dont know how 2 fix. this is my 13th reason

[timid meadow]

Best time to learn is when its already broken

[shy kelp]

Its a famous francize from Blizzard thats been around for like 30 years. Its an Action RPG. Kind of the one that defined the genre.

[primal crystal]

I do this shit for a living and it makes no sense. Can a mobo be dead even wen lights on mobo

[gilded forge]

well yeah ik that. do you know how many shit Diablo clons from the 90s there are

[timid meadow]

Yes. LEDs are just lights. All they need to turn on is power.

[gilded forge]

https://youtu.be/OowmeH13HSU

[slate tulip]

watching, thanks :)

[winged basin]

Not just motherboard, I have a gigabyte 3070 as well

[full fossil]

@primal crystal It is most likely your 12v capacitor is shot, happens 98% of all PC failures in old age

[shy kelp]

make sure you are using the cables that came with the power suppy and not ones from another. They are NOT universal.

[winged basin]

And I've seen Louis Rossman's vid about the crack

[primal crystal]

Less than a year old. July 2022.

[primal crystal]

I am, it's a fairly new build, less than a year.

[shy kelp]

did it ever boot? What was your last change that made it stop booting?

[crude jasper]

depends ~ alot of corsair PSUs are backwards compatible with cables

[primal crystal]

I was gaming on it an hour ago. Did a hard shutdown out of nowhere.

[crude jasper]

with the exception of 24 pin

[primal crystal]

have disconnected everything except for mobo power and cpu power. Bypass relay makes the click when I hit the power switch. Tried to short it with a screw driver. ASUS RGB mobo logo is lit and changing colors indicating mobo is getting some kind of power.

[shy kelp]

maybe but not worth the risk unless you know you have compatible calbes, like if you oredered them from cable mods

[full fossil]

Well just to be sure, completely power drain your PSU after unplugging it, then if you can access the back of board, use volt meter on the 12v capacitors prongs and see if it reads a hair above 12v

[primal crystal]

I dont own one of those either LOL

[crude jasper]

Rma it

Easiest solution

[shy kelp]

see if you can pull the CMOS battery

[full fossil]

It could be the infamous ASUS volt fry

[primal crystal]

I can, how long? @shy kelp

[crude jasper]

what motherboard @primal crystal

[primal crystal]

ROG STRIX Z690-A @crude jasper

[shy kelp]

10 seconds is probably enough but got 1 min to be sure

[primal crystal]

its out rn

[crude jasper]

non-issue

intel doesnt have the cpu explode issue

[primal crystal]

can i post vid here?

nah i cant

https://twitter.com/afkjackk/status/1668437535738011653?s=20

[wanton jewel]

need to have floatplane or nitro booster

[primal crystal]

click twitter link @wanton jewel

[wanton jewel]

also you already made a support issue? why spam the channels asking for help?

[primal crystal]

wasnt really spamming, conversation just happened

[rough birch]

I literally don't get why whenever I turn my phone off for even less than 30 SECONDS Discord always pops up with that "connecting" message

I shave my settings so it won't disconnect from wifi so that's really annoying me. Okay mini rant over

[wanton jewel]

did you enable the data saver feature in the app?

[rough birch]

Nope. Don't really like the setting nor have reason to use it tbh

(⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠) Probably some weird obscure setting cause that happened with my last phone too so maybe I have to dig.

[wispy marsh]

Holy shit, the price gouge

15" Macbook Air

[torn bone]

Nami episode 78 😮‍💨😳🥰

[finite cloud]

ew. why is it three times the price for 2 times the storage

[gilded forge]

goddamn

[wispy marsh]

$900-$300=$600 per TB

The base 512GB "costs" $300

[gilded forge]

oh dw it's Apple's guarantee that it's the most pristine and perfected SSD in existence.

[wispy marsh]

Memory works the same way
24gb-16gb = $600-300 = $300
The base 8gb "costs" $300

$900 of this $2200 MBA is memory and storage...
8GB and 512GB

[gilded forge]

is it ddr4

[wispy marsh]

The same config on an 8-core MBA costs the same as this 10-core MBA

[silent elbow]

Thats a fucking lame increaae

[wispy marsh]

It is, but Apple also knows it's the best in class 15" laptop for its weight

[silent elbow]

Its actuaply the opposite. All SSDs have finite lifetime

[safe iris]

hihi

[wispy marsh]

He was taking a jab at apple

[granite tinsel]

it does start at 512GB where the 13" starts at 256

[gilded forge]

as long as you can deal with macos

[wispy marsh]

We both know that neither of us are the target audience for some of Apple's devices

[granite tinsel]

unpopular opinion: i actually really like macOS's workflow, more than windows and most linux desktop environments

[wispy marsh]

Your point is just bias confirmation

[gilded forge]

that's fair.

[granite tinsel]

...okay i should clarify, i like it more than every windows version except for 7

[silent elbow]

https://youtu.be/HthXI7B4NW8

Heres a smart quote from niko bellic.

[granite tinsel]

but i can't really use 7 anymore

[wispy marsh]

No more gta please

[silent elbow]

GTA makde me smartee but ok. Im tired of that game

[gilded forge]

maybe. but Ive used Windiws since XP, and been using Kali, Arch, and Ubuntu for 3 years now. to suddenly drop me into MacOS with a completely new workflow, set if shortcuts, and general navigation and feel...it would just torture me. I think a lot of people choose MacOS bc they're either tech illiterate or have an iPhone.

also the notch is the single worst, most pointless feature apple introduces to their devices

[strange elk]

Youll get used to it

[granite tinsel]

i grew up with OS 8, 9, and X so i guess i am a little biased--but still, i haven't dailied macOS in 12 years, and i found myself picking it back up lightning fast

[shy kelp]

recently got an M2 Mac Mini for my wife, yeah I don't have a lot good to say about it

[granite tinsel]

and i'll be honest, thanks to the software implementation of it and the presence of the menu bar, the notch is invisible to me on my macbook

[rough birch]

At this point the Only OS I haven't used is any desktop Linux

[wispy marsh]

It's a nice addition to the iPhone

[shy kelp]

I did too

[wispy marsh]

I might get an M1 Macbook for my mom because the office suite is free

[granite tinsel]

memories of traumatizing my four-year-old self accidentally hitting the boot interrupt button on our mid-90's power mac and getting a sad mac screen

[gilded forge]

idk I have the SE3. which is basically just a reskinned iPhone 8

[granite tinsel]

it's an iphone 8 but with the iphone 13 SoC

[strange elk]

SE 1 was the best

[granite tinsel]

SE 2 was good too; my mom has one and she loves it

the SE 3 kinda fucked it up by bumping the price over just another spec update

[shy kelp]

0365 Family is only $99 a year and comes with 5 accounts that get - full Office suite and 1TB of One Drive storage... each. and can install on up the 5 devices ... each.

[gilded forge]

I still have my iPhone 4s from back in the day and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the camera still holds up to modern budget phones

[wispy marsh]

I have my iPhone 4S, and my XR for work, and my 14

[granite tinsel]

i just bought office home & student for myself since my mom gets office access from her university work

[gilded forge]

I got it for free when I switched carriers

[wispy marsh]

I know. I have a similar kind of luxury provided for free from my workplace

[granite tinsel]

also i hate expensive software subscriptions--if you ask me microsoft 365 is the purgatory to adobe creative cloud's hell

[strange elk]

My pixel 4 takes such amazing pictures compared to my old SE though

[tribal wyvern]

tfw cannot sleep so you just binge watch the dbrand pc build

[shy kelp]

Oh I have that from my employer too, but I dont want my company account of office on my personal devices

[granite tinsel]

that's pretty decent lol

[gilded forge]

I've always had the philosophy of "one time perpetual license is better than monthly/yearly expensive renewing licenses"

[granite tinsel]

too bad office 2021 is the last one-time purchase version of office, and it's not even going to get extended support

it's going to die alongside windows 10 in 2025

[strange elk]

Libreoffice gets extended support

[gilded forge]

I'm still rocking Office 2012

[shy kelp]

good luck finding that for long

[granite tinsel]

libreoffice is open-source, it never stops getting support LOL

[strange elk]

My point exactly :>

[granite tinsel]

based tbh, early 2010's office was great

[gilded forge]

the shiny, metal-like UI is so snazzy compared to the bland, flat UI of today

[granite tinsel]

also regarding environments and workflows i should comment that i am also an outlier even among apple users because

i daily stage manager.

on mac.

and ipad.

[gilded forge]

I'ma be honest. I have an iPad Air, on iOS 12.5.7

so getting anything besides basic apps and streaming apps to work is...difficult. but it's jailbroken, so sideload older IPAs. except they're kinda unstable and doesn't always work like with a lot of social media and office apps.

[granite tinsel]

ah, gotcha--i've got a 5th-gen ipad pro so i've got a lot of time before i have to start worrying about that LOL

[gilded forge]

I basically use it to mass download shit from Disney+ and Netflix when flying or going on road trips.

[wispy marsh]

I have calendars synchronised, but my work stuff and personal stuff all use different apps

[gilded forge]

but it's 12 years old and still functioning decently well so I can't complain about that

[granite tinsel]

my mom's on a first-gen ipad pro running... uhhh, whatever the last version of ipadOS it got was

she's expressed a desire for a new one since it's starting to show its age and slow down--but i doubt she's gonna get mine as a hand-me-down unless apple does something fucking mindblowing for the 7th-gen pro

[gilded forge]

I basically take the Office sub that I have from my college and use Power Automate to sync all my Outlook school shit to my gCalendar

[gilded forge]

more flat edges and a camera bump. the otgers have all been the same don't see why you should change the design if it works well

[wispy marsh]

I don't see the point of powerautomate for my type of work

It's also a ratelimited api, I'd rather selfhost it

[granite tinsel]

camera still isn't on the long edge

[gilded forge]

imo the OnePlus Pad knows how most people use a tablet and snacked it on the middle top which was genius.

[granite tinsel]

yeah, most people do video calls in landscape mode

[gilded forge]

as they shoukd

[granite tinsel]

it stayed on the short edge for the 6th-gen because it'd take some engineering work to get it on the long edge as well as the apple pencil but like

come on, this is apple we're talking about; the company where steve jobs threw a prototype ipod into an aquarium and pointed at the air bubbles going "there's air in it, that means there's still space; make it smaller"

apple isn't exactly a company known for compromising on shit because it would take extra engineering

[foggy plover]

should I get a 144hz monitor as a secondary

[granite tinsel]

what's your primary?

[foggy plover]

240hz 1440p

[granite tinsel]

that seems kinda damn perfect for all gaming uses imo; i guess go 144Hz if you want smoothness on both monitors, but you could probably get away with less

my setup is one 4K 144Hz and one 1080p 240Hz

[foggy plover]

what monitor should I get secondary then

[granite tinsel]

uhhhhh, check pcpartpicker?

make sure to use the filters to narrow it down

[foggy plover]

alr thx

[gilded forge]

I have a 1080 90hz as my secondary which I only use for like social media most the time

[foggy plover]

well idk if I want a vertical 2nd or a normal 2nd

[bitter girder]

Hey whenever I try to stream to my phone the audio goes into the Host speaker instead of client

[granite tinsel]

should probably figure that out first--portrait 2nd is good for chat, programming, and certain types of games, but is a little less versatile than landscape

[foggy plover]

alr thanks

[manic torrent]

Bear in mind that VA looks like ass in portrait

[slate tulip]

Same

[foggy plover]

e

is 27 inch too big for vertical?

[manic torrent]

Power automate is both awesome and absolutely terrible. It's like the worst things about a gui and coding automation. It is so amazingly cumbersome.

[manic torrent]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/375436621450969089/1116936043246145596/PXL_20230228_020821163.jpg

You tell me

[foggy plover]

what about next to a 27 inch

[wispy marsh]

I like cli automation better

[manic torrent]

I built an automation automation. because more is better.

I will call it xzibition. I put an automation over your automation, so you can automate while you automate.

[foggy plover]

thats cool n all but like what vert 27 inch should I buy

[wispy marsh]

Did you just use a tool like ansible to spawn multiple ansibles

[lucid echo]

depends on so, so many things

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-xeneon-27-oled-qhd-freesync-premium-and-g-sync-compatible-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-usb-displayport-black/6540573.p

[manic torrent]

no I made a web front end that can launch automations and allows you to enter authentication etc, and makes a recording of it. So you can start your VM, run your automation and enter your details, then leave it, and come back and you have a video and outcome of the automation

[full fossil]

What makes you think you can buy a monitor? You don’t deserve one.

[foggy plover]

I have $330 dollars saved up and have a problem with tabbing

[full fossil]

Nice

[lucid echo]

tabbing problem sounds like a task for #1027757333117415424

[foggy plover]

no

just like I tab and screen freezes for a second a 2nd monitor is needed smh

[lucid echo]

well, my tip is to not have others do work for you
find a monitor in your budget, post it in #1106613567966429224 asking opinions
people are way more willing to correct you than they are to put in the initial effort

[wispy marsh]

Ask for MarkBench sourcecode

[manic torrent]

meanwhike I am integrating my surface presser into dbus so I can make and recieve phone calls, as well as route the audio.

It's really more of a 'thing doer' than a midi control surface thing. I've even specced out a dynamic GUI for it that will change on the fly from dbus based on the state and configured yaml.

[wispy marsh]

Hmm

[sonic spruce]

Do ethernet cables degrade over time?

[lucid echo]

Not really, unless they're bad quality

Using them won't degrade them, bending/squishing/twisting them might

[manic torrent]

if exposed to moisture, yes.

[slate tulip]

Also, people are way more willing to correct you if it is blatantly wrong and they get to be an ass about it

Pretty sure it’s one of the laws of the internet or something

[lucid echo]

100%

[stoic beacon]

For those who have picked up Framework laptops, how do they compare in build quality and battery life to Thinkpad T series? We're upgrading our marketing department, and that 16 inch framework is tempting.

Current 13 inch is far too small though

[sonic spruce]

It’s possible, not entirely sure

Anything else could?

[manic torrent]

anything can happen

[manic torrent]

I'd pilot a few first tbh to see if it works for you

[slate tulip]

yeah, I feel like it's one of those things where the answer is "yes, but you, and your children, and grandchildren would have to sit there making 45 degree bends for all of your lives to see an appreciable difference"

so for all intents and purposes, "no"

[manic torrent]

yeah

[nova dune]

I think I'm cursed with windows just like Linus is cursed with linux. With how stable macos has been in comparaison, I'm starting to think that a hackintosh would be more stable than this

[manic torrent]

ehhh, linus is cursed with linux because he doesn't read shit 😛

[slate tulip]

to be fair, the Apple ecosystem in general is kind of the most stable you can get

a single manufacturer makes the hardware, the operating system, and the drivers that integrate that hardware with the operating system, for the most part

[slow basin]

Guys can i ask 1 question here?

[nova dune]

Maybe he reads more comments than actual documentation haha

[slate tulip]

and they have an extremely limited number of hardware revisions meaning much limited QA cycles vs. just hardware manufacturers, or just sofware developers

It's referred to as a "Walled Garden" and not a "Walled Trailerpark" for a reason 😛

[manic torrent]

you can, and you just asked it. Your question budget is done.

[slow basin]

I wanna ask 6

So i am yo buy gt610 2gb over intel hd 4400

[crude jasper]

hardly ~ has lasted me 15 years at the least in my attic.

[dry dust]

how are you all doing

[slate tulip]

and mechanically, they are very simple. Literally just wire that send a signal. And a digital one at that. A digital signal is on or off. Which means you don't need to have quality to differentiate a signal strength

if there's any signal at all, it's on. Otherwise, it's off

[manic torrent]

nobody should ever buy those cards to actually use

[midnight idol]

me with the 1030

[sonic spruce]

Ok cuz the one in my garage is covered in dust and has been used maybe 3 times at the most

Cat5e

[crude jasper]

you're fine

[slim creek]

just play 2d games or minecraft

[sonic spruce]

Just double checking

Also question about this CPU cooler in this build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3GbgRv

[midnight idol]

nah it runs 3d games

[slim creek]

what games at what fps?

[crude jasper]

what about ito

[sonic spruce]

Overwatch at 20 fps

[polar fern]

Mhmmm… https://social.kernel.org/objects/60bcac97-e7c7-4899-a1b6-bb72196cddaf

[sonic spruce]

Is it good or would it be better if I got deepcool ak620?

[fervent prairie]

Space cadet 3d pinball should run perfectly

[midnight idol]

overwatch at 75 fps medium
fortnite at 65 fps medium

[sonic spruce]

Lol, back on windows xp

[slim creek]

I love pinball

[fervent prairie]

It's a 3d game, it runs without stutters. Good enough

[crude jasper]

that one is fine

[sonic spruce]

Gt 620 can get 30 fps in overwatch, lowest settings

[sonic spruce]

Ok

[slim creek]

opponents have 100s of fps so they have much more of an advantage over you

[polar fern]

Windows xp, back when msft momentarily learned how to make windows not suck.

[sonic spruce]

Do they actually?

[long briar]

I would recommend the Phantom Spirit 120 over the peerless Assassin because it's usually the same price... or cheaper in some places

[sonic spruce]

Send link

[slim creek]

yes

[sonic spruce]

Didn’t know that

[polar fern]

Thousands of frames per hour

[slim creek]

play on the lowest settings for overwatch all the fps counts

[long briar]

oh wait a sec it's 8 dollars more for argb version. Scratch that, PA120 is enough.

[midnight idol]

I don't even really play overwatch
not a fan

[long briar]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-PS120SE-TL-C12B-S-Technilogy-Bearing/dp/B0BR3JBKDL/

[slim creek]

I just play at 144hz 1440p ultra settings with my 3060 and my fps never dips

[midnight idol]

ok?

[slim creek]

competitive games require as much frames you can push out

[long briar]

nvm idk why pcpp doesn't use the cheapest listing, get this instead

[long briar]

you also don't need the most frames to be among the best

[midnight idol]

^

you can have skill and fps to be even better

[long briar]

once you're past 300ish fps, your reaction times and skill are the bottlenecks, not input delay

[slim creek]

whats the best igpu?

[midnight idol]

source; I played fortnite on switch for 4 years and ranked top 10% in switch pools

[slim creek]

have they made an igpu that passes the 1650 yet?

[long briar]

Vega M GH was faster back in 2017

[midnight idol]

2017 was peak tbh

like Q2 around then

[slim creek]

so whats the best igpu = to today?

[long briar]

wait why does this matter

[slim creek]

I wanna know the state of igpus and how advanced they are

[long briar]

They're enough for esports titles and that's about it

[broken folio]

the best iGPU is AMD

[broken folio]

thats not strictly true

[long briar]

Sure, Intel have QSV but that's also... not new

[broken folio]

thats only for video decoding/encoding

[long briar]

the best iGPs can raster about a 1060.

[sonic spruce]

Copper base and pipes?

[slim creek]

does phasmaphobia go on sale frequently?

[long briar]

Radeon 780m, but is a laptop only chip

[broken folio]

the latest iGPU is on par with a 3050

[long briar]

which?

[broken folio]

7040, the latest AMD mobile chip

[long briar]

Of course.

it's literally the Peerless Assassin but better

[broken folio]

there'll probably be a desktop version at somepoint soon, which with the higher TDP will probably beat a good chunk of the lower end dGPUs

[sonic spruce]

Ok, but how is it better?

[long briar]

It's got an extra heatpipe

[sonic spruce]

Anything else?

[long briar]

nope

[broken folio]

the 6000 based mini-pc devices were beasts for emulation boxes, I expect the 7000 will be even better

[long briar]

I can't find anything on the iGPU of it

but I assume it's the 780m, successor of the 680m?

[broken folio]

They've changed their numbering system for their mobile parts, so its confusing

[broken folio]

yes.

[long briar]

you know the 780m performs like a 1060 right...

it's not coming close to a 3050

\

in raster, 780m = 1060

in compute, it can't...

[fervent prairie]

That is perfectly fine for switch emulation tbh or handheld gaming wouldn't expect much more out of it

[indigo plume]

so reddit is dead whats next

[manic torrent]

hurr

So, Damocles, RedishGold, BionicSeaSnake go into a bar....

[bitter girder]

I hope reddit backpedals on the API thing

[broken folio]

They won't.

If their aim is to block AI from their API I can't see them going back on it unless they come up with a multi tier thing on a per utility basis or something.

[bitter girder]

Rock and a hard place ig,

Unless they are just milking more money.

I hate capitalism!!!

[broken folio]

They are apparently gearing for an IPO. So the move was probably a way to allay investor fears. Didn't go quite how they wanted I am expecting.

[near nymph]

Imagine benefiting from capitalism yet hating it

[bitter girder]

No I hate capitalism because I am broke

[near nymph]

Imagine hating the game because you are are loosing at it

I'm broke kek.

[bitter girder]

Yeah, of course

[near nymph]

Then again. All these innovations are all from capitalism

[bitter girder]

Okay damm I was half joking you seem to really defend capitalism

[near nymph]

Oh I love and hate it

I'm a business owner but I'm also broke. Eh

[bitter girder]

Except i do hate capitalism just because of people on top determined to just fuck everyone over for their own benefit

[gentle slate]

Oh God. Streamer mode with updated usernames... SUCKS

HAHA the username is absolutely terrible.

[broken folio]

How so?

[near nymph]

You don't get there without fucking people

[tender geyser]

I still haven’t gotten the username update yet

[gentle slate]

The way streamer mode works with new username system is it omits everything past the first letter.

[tender geyser]

Isn’t it going oldest accounts to newest?

[gentle slate]

So if you have HectorVector and HankTheGreat, you'd only see H... For both people.

[near nymph]

And your a 2019 account

That's a relatively new account.

[gentle slate]

New usernames are a train wreck.

[tender geyser]

Did they say why they’re doing usernames

[tardy terrace]

im sorry you feel that way

[long briar]

Nitro users first, oldest to newest accounts. Regular accounts 2nd, oldest to newest

[tardy terrace]

I got my name, idgaf

[long briar]

stop using discord and protest, or just stop complaining and accept that it is what it is

[gentle slate]

I don't care about getting my name. It's just such a redundant update.

[long kayak]

Morning all

[tardy terrace]

fuck numbernames

be unique

[gentle slate]

Fr lemme grab my xX_Destr0yer_Xx username.

[tardy terrace]

Please, no

[gentle slate]

The way discord intended

[tardy terrace]

I said be unique, not be a 12 y/o on xbox live

[gentle slate]

The amount of unique is limited.

[tardy terrace]

..is it really though

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-sure-about-that-gif-18238502

[crude jasper]

the reserved usernames thing definitely is dumb however ~ i can change my username but i cannot take it on an alt even after waiting 30 minutes? but the original can take it back.
not to mention usernames not taken at all, are not available

[signal badger]

Mine seems fine

zunexxx

[slate tulip]

Were you zunexxx#xxxx before? That’s how the reservation worked afaik. In order of “importance”, users got the name before their discriminator reserved:

1. Discord staff
2. Discord staff friends
3. Partners and verified server owners
4. Plebs with nitro before the cutoff date
5. Plebs without nitro

[gentle slate]

So a package arrived in the courier office, but I can't pick it up since it hasn't been processed. I hate parcel delivery

[slate tulip]

If someone higher on the tier list than you had the same name without the discriminator, than your reserved name was your username+discriminator i.e gorian0001 instead of gorian

[gentle slate]

If also accounts for account age.

[slate tulip]

Yes - but only after #3

[elfin solar]

The change just seems pointless. Did mine. Btw I am not nitro or anything. (Member since 2016)

[gentle slate]

I got the name before a whole bunch of nitro plebs.

[slate tulip]

Someone claimed they were doing a weird thing where they did it based on age, but nitro added extra months for every extra month on your account? Idk if that’s true or discord just fucked up 🤷‍♂️

[slate tulip]

I mean, pzzzang3 isn’t exactly a commonly sought name though?

[gentle slate]

Neither is my original name.

[slate tulip]

Right, but the one is, you likely weren’t competing with anyone

[low rain]

Hopefully I can keep my dustybread

[slate tulip]

Regardless of account age or nitro

[slate tulip]

Yes. Someone did the math

[tardy terrace]

quick math

[slate tulip]

Something like 15 quintillion iirc - but that includes vast amounts of nonsense (and is a limit in the technical sense). The number of desirable names that are actually pronounceable is much, much lower

[tardy terrace]

quintillion.
Enough said lmao

[slate tulip]

I mean, if the only user name left to you is 9cajlesl9q77dacybzsfcmshxf5bza7g is that any better than just using your user id?

[raw heron]

When is the next update coming

[slate tulip]

So, sure - it’s technically unique, but like the majority of the usernames in the usable space - it’s useless

[slate tulip]

What update?

[tender geyser]

This ain’t a roblox game server

[slate tulip]

To discord? To the human body? To life?

[tender geyser]

Earth update

[slate tulip]

To Clear Linux? Tomorrow

To this message? One minute (updated)

Apple, why the fuck does ram cost so much when similar ram for my thinkpad costs $345 (£1200 = $1500)

[unkempt widget]

ram is different in x86 and arm

[full fossil]

In fact it's even cheaper for you as you can solder it on

[unkempt widget]

because ram is on the cpu

[full fossil]

No? Ram is ram. And just because it's on the SoC dosnt mean that it costs a whole whopping $1500 more

[unkempt widget]

worded it wrong

[full fossil]

Even when apple wasn't making their own SoC they still charged ridiculous amounts for ram

[indigo plume]

if I were to get 4080 what one should I get

[unkempt widget]

the cheapest one

[indigo plume]

preferable one that is cool

cuz dont want it to heat up room too much

[full fossil]

Looks don't mean shit when you need raw performance

[indigo plume]

no I mean cool temps

so it dont make my room hot af in summer

[full fossil]

I'd get a used 6950xt if I were you as they perform similar to the 4080 and go for $600 used

[unkempt widget]

they release a ton of heat

[full fossil]

Then get a 7900xtx they cost $100 less than the 4080 and perform better

[indigo plume]

well I returned amd gpu cuz over 100 degree juntion temps

[full fossil]

Wtf

[indigo plume]

had 7900xt

[full fossil]

That GPU is fucked

[indigo plume]

was loud as shit and hot af

[unkempt widget]

xtx had vapor chamber issues

[indigo plume]

so im staying away from amd this generation

[low rain]

I download ram and vram, I also downloaded more cores 💪

maybe ill go back to amd next generation of gpus

but this generation seems to have cooling issues atleast from my experince

[wild snow]

what sauce you pair that fish with?

[manic torrent]

Oh there is absolutely plenty* of upwards* mobility*

[manic torrent]

Lemon, garlic butter and basil

[wild snow]

can't go wrong with the classic

[manic torrent]

especially with basil right off the plant.

And lemon juice from our backyard

[wild snow]

might I recommend a nice hit of fresh pepper?

[manic torrent]

They were seasoned with salt and pepper prior to cooking.

[wild snow]

👌

[manic torrent]

Fresh cracked, obviously, because what sort of person has any other kind of pepper

[wild snow]

just need your choice of white or light red wine and that's a restaurant tier meal

thanks for letting me live vicariously through you, because I am stuck on light soup diet until my stomach stops trying to murder me

My 5yo recommends the watered down apple juice pairing

It is a fine choice 🙂

oh come on, at least give him the bubbly juice, the fish deserves that much

i mean, who needs sleep?

Haha, I don't think we have ever given him carbonated drinks

He does, poor bugger can sleep 20 hours a day :/

Never trust a fart. Sage advice.

Aye, I wasted my youth, but at least I got wiser... I just wish the price for wisdom wasn't suffering

[tender wyvern]

Theoretically if you drank liquid nitrogen would it cool you down

[manic torrent]

Theoretically if you drank lava, it would warm you up.

[wary summit]

should I get 5600X 3D?

[full fossil]

cool down in more ways than one

[wary summit]

no, it would arm you up.Your body would die trying to warm you up.

drinking warm beverages on a hot day cools you down

it's weird but in not wrong

[crystal pike]

the more you know

[full fossil]

i mean

if they are less hot than the temperature outside
sure

[wary summit]

no, it really does, because your body works harder cooling you down

I'm not entirely correct, but technically you sweat more

[manic torrent]

I mean, it depends how you measure. "Cools you down more" isn't specific enough.

[wary summit]

therefore getting rid of more body heat.

[manic torrent]

Yes.

So you do "cool down more". But you also get warmer.

Thermodynamics is a hell of a drug

[wary summit]

it's like- Asians eating hotpot in 32deg heat with 90% humidity

[wary summit]

first and second laws are funny imo idk why

[full fossil]

if i poured 80C isopropyl alcohol onto my 90C cpu it would theoretically cool it down

[wary summit]

no...

[full fossil]

yes

[wary summit]

That would 1st evaporate before you even put it on your CPU...

[manic torrent]

If you stabbed yourself in the face and let the blood rain down, it would theoretically cool you down

[full fossil]

dont think about that

[manic torrent]

Don't think about.... Physics.

[wary summit]

2nd. technically Not wrong. but for a nano second as the 90° also evaporates it

[full fossil]

what if my blood is hotter than the temperature outside

[graceful burrow]

Yeah get the nonexistent cpu

[wary summit]

not... really, as internal body temperature is higher than external most of the time.

[full fossil]

not where im from

[manic torrent]

.yes really

don't forget I'm in china... Saw a listing for around 500 usd

6950XT or rtx 4070?

i just choose nvidia usually becuz more stable

[delicate stream]

wait i gotta pay?

and cool epic features like ray tracing an dlss!1

i don't care about cool features

dlss is a gimmick, I want pure performance

Advanced philosophical concepts like that are not welcome here

I got a 6600xt used from a miner at the cheap, 120$. i think i'll be happy with it for a few years 🙂 i hope 80/800 series cards become cheaper faster next gen.

The dream would be intel stepping up their game and forcing price competition

[delicate stream]

do i need to pay to use the vcs?

[full fossil]

price competition not profitable

[zenith cradle]

The option is not existing, fixing prices is very illegal, and intel can gain a lot by taking litle margin for a few years, think about what FB did for VR and what it gained them, FB will probably keep dominating VR for a while.

[hasty geode]

Shockingly bad take

[full fossil]

shockingly valid take

[hasty geode]

Not at all You don't pay for VC. You pay for Floatplane. VC on this one specific server is a bonus perk. VC on Discord overall is still completely free and you're entirely entitled to making your own server, create VC channels, and join them

just replying to the cheap troll bait cause im bored pre-work

You overestimate how many people actually use the floatplane VC channel

[full fossil]

you underestimate how many people dont have floatplane

[delicate stream]

they could have a public vc

[mint yacht]

what does that have to do with anything
