Firefox is faster on it I guess /j

[lethal jay]

Cool. thats an outlier, there are multiple games that just refuse to run on linux due to Anti-cheat issues. It may not be an actual issue with linux itself, but it is a roadblock to gaming on linux

[graceful mortar]

Guess Im a warrior... since i know how to put up a tent and light diesel fuel on fire in a can!

[echo canopy]

It’s not a outlier and a actual trend due to developers improperly using DX12

I don’t even own a game that does not support lonix and it’s often blown out of proportion

[lethal jay]

When I used linux on a dual boot I had like 5 or 6 games that didn't work

But its a lot of big multiplayer games that have issues

[echo canopy]

Csgo and wow work fine for me

[full fossil]

[echo canopy]

why wouldn’t it

[full fossil]

idk ive never used linux

last i knew many things werent supported

[lethal jay]

Like, Linux supports a lot of games, but if even 1 or 2 of your main games are on that list. Dealbreaker

[echo canopy]

Wow half of all games with anti cheat that’s better then I thought

[lethal jay]

Even for Cs, faciet doesn't support linux. Now, may not be an issue for cs2, but for csgo it was one

[full fossil]

i dont really play multiplayer games , even tho im playing wow classic hardcore right now

[echo canopy]

Faciet not supporting Linux is a skill issue. CS;GO has 100% support on Linux and is actually easier to cheat on windows

[lethal jay]

it may be so, but its still a reason to not use linux if you play it. Regardless of the reasons making any sense

Linux has its benifits, but to say its better all the time for everyone is just wrong

[echo canopy]

Never said that

But it is easier in a plethora of ways

[manic torrent]

I run Linux on my server. Windows on my desktop.

[manic torrent]

To say that anything is better all the time for everything is wrong.

[lethal jay]

Tbf, its got a lot more customisation options which is one of the major reasons I tried it. Much preferred how I could make it look, but had some other issues, and not being able to play a lot of my top games kinda killed it

[echo canopy]

The customization really isn’t the selling point

[lethal jay]

It was one of the reasons I tried it

[echo canopy]

You want to update your entire system on arch to the latest builds on arch? Just run paru

Want working AMD drivers? Install mesa

Yea, it’s literally better then AMDs native windows drivers

[lethal jay]

Stuff like this is very handy, but it requries a lot more knowledge, which is why I would say its less user friendly

Windows is much more self-explanatory

[echo canopy]

It’s as complex as scoop or winget.

[lethal jay]

the idea of using the command line is very foreign for a lot of new pc users

[indigo sierra]

how's motherboard getting so expensive as of late???

[spice pine]

if i told any of my customers to "open a terminal" they'd probably start crying

[lethal jay]

Even those are complex for most windows users

If you think using winget or running command line is "user friendly" you are vastly overestimating the tech literacy of an average user

[low rain]

My dad is talking to customer support for toyota because he bought a car last January and he ordered a spare key from them too but it’s still never came

[echo canopy]

People are more winning to use regedit in a guide then learn scoop

[lethal jay]

Most people don't even know what regedit is, nor will they ever use it

[echo canopy]

Every other windows guide uses it and for some AMD gpus it’s a “requirement”

I don’t even get why learning a CLI is so hard. There is like 2 commands you will ever run. -R for removing packages and -Syu for updating and installing

[lethal jay]

Because its far too complicated for most people to learn

[echo canopy]

It’s really not. Either lazy or don’t care enough.

[lethal jay]

you overestimate how much time people are willing to invest. They bought a prebuilt and want it to just work without needing to do anything to it

[spice pine]

Yeah, we're really niche users in the grand scheme of "computer owners"

[echo canopy]

I’m not talking about grandmas here

[lethal jay]

Also, for most people to understand this, they need to know what you mean by "packages", what is a command line, what is a command

Most people are clueless about anything computer related

I mean, I know somone who is 22 and thought when he got rid of the app icon on his desktop he had uninstalled the app

[echo canopy]

just give them a chrome book. It runs gentoo so it’s good enough

[vapid smelt]

Is that someone you?

[graceful mortar]

not Bad for a factory 7100LB pickup truck!

[carmine light]

Ikr? I remember when he did that live and people were all posting it. Dude is def. not a normal guy

[echo canopy]

X86 instructions are translated in real time to cpu arch specific byte code that’s then ran. Not even the first x86 CPUs natively supported all x86 instruction

[carmine light]

but normal is overrated anyway

[lethal jay]

So its still based on the x86 architecture?

[echo canopy]

Your cpu could be executing 10 to 100s of byte code instruction per clock cycle

[echo canopy]

X86 isn’t a arch it’s a instruction set a cpu understands. It understands x86 instructions but it does not run them

Ah well it is a instruction set architecture

[lethal jay]

At that point its just arguing semantics. Whether the cpu runs x86 or understands it doesn't change the fact its an x86 based cpu?

[echo canopy]

It is a important distinction as it enables a lot of optimization.

It’s also a example of something most people don’t know. I’m not telling you to not can’t x86 CPUs x86.

yeah temps look fine

[polar fern]

You’re asking about “too cold” 38°C is not cold

[full fossil]

temps could definitely be better but its tolerable
and 38C is my standard idle temp with nothing changed so nothing too cold

[lethal jay]

if anything its pretty normal for gpu temps to sit a few degrees above room temp, and get to 70-80c when running

[full fossil]

im playing wow right now with those temps

if it were 38f then itd be a little cold yeah

[echo sail]

it seems like one of my "friends" has a lot of random chromebook parts that he collected from the last 3 weeks or something like that

[full fossil]

100% but do realize that when you enter into a relationship you do need to make some sacrifices and take your share of the repsonsibility

[lethal jay]

Sacrificing is reducing how much time you give to your hobby to give more time to the relationship. Not trying to give it up entirely

[full fossil]

agree

[graceful mortar]

not it was because he refused to interact with the real world
or go to bed on time to not be an ass to her at work.
been over a decade of this, he still thinks they are in some sort of relationship. it ended 3 years ago.
got fired from work because no call no show,
she kicked him out the house because he wouldn't have a way to pay rent, then he threatened to "disappear forever" (unalive) so she let him back in the house, and gave him his job back.

[graceful mortar]

he went 8350, then 9590 on this mobo.

[lethal jay]

Poor girl. Some people really just do suck huh

[full fossil]

Gaming can be a real addiction

It was for me for years

[lethal jay]

100%, I know some of my friends who I would argue are 100% addicted. In reality I probably am too to some extent

but more so just being at my pc rather than gaming alone

[full fossil]

It’s escapism so it literally like drugs

[graceful mortar]

she never told him to give it up. he did it because he thought that's what she wanted....
no she wanted you to NOT show up at work after being up 30 hours upset that you are tired and being a passive aggressive ass to everyone, and not keeping up sop now everyone else has to do your job for you.
and to fucking get out the chair and stop complaining that your back hurts because you LITERALLY never move from the recliner.

[full fossil]

Haha

[lethal jay]

someone get him into therapy

[full fossil]

Nah that’s full fledged addiction you need rehab at that point

Cold turkey then therapy

[vapid smelt]

im addicted to painting yellow fish jet black

[full fossil]

Until you stop running to video games to solve all your problems

[lethal jay]

Im just....gonna....swim away for....for a minute real quick

[full fossil]

Then maybe you can dabble in games again

There was a period in my life I’d say I was a hardcore gaming addict and I’ve never stayed up 30 hours and then went to work I always made sure to at least get 4 hours

Hell I still do that sometimes lol

[graceful mortar]

ALL he has to do is talk.
but he is un happy with his life. unhappy about everything. so Talks turn to yelling about every stupid thing. he picks fights for NO reason whatsoever.
he was on anti D to stop smoking. his mood improved but he didn't like "being angry but only able to smile" sigh.

now he leaves the real world and lives engrossed into his phone like an ipad toodler..... hes 30+ now.

[full fossil]

Yeah it’s literally the same thing as drug addiction

[lethal jay]

Im not that bad. Last time I played a game for more than 4-6 hours was the launch of baldurs gate 3, last time before that was playing through 3 of the life is strange games last year.

[full fossil]

What normal happens is people have an idea of where they want to be in life but it feel so unattainable that they give up. They also do not like themselves there is no reason to treat themselves well because they feel worthless , so they chase things to numb thst feeling

It can be booze, heroin, gaming, anything

[lethal jay]

I've been on a pc too much the last like 2 months cause im out of work for surgery on my hand. So couldn't lift, play any sort of sport, do much of anything really.

[full fossil]

And you can’t get them to stop because what they really need is a reason to care about themselves

[graceful mortar]

like i get he doesnt want to be open but in his words " io cant talk to a therapist, theyll put me away for ever if they found out what goes on in my head"
aka stop asking me or imma make shit up to scare you for your life.

[vapid smelt]

come here boy!

[full fossil]

What he is really saying is , I want to die, this isn’t good but it’s better then being dead so leave me the fuck alone

The only thing I have standing to argue I don't have a major issue is I've never had any issues with being late or no-show for work

[graceful mortar]

ANNO got me good one time "youve now been playing for 13 hours" UMMM whatt!??

[lethal jay]

When playing bg3 I started playing at 5pm when it launched. Only realised how long I had been on when my alarm for the next morning at 10am went off

[full fossil]

All I’m trying to convey is that the behavior your describing is that of a feeling of hoplessnsss and self hatred more than likely

And it’s sad and I hope they can find a reason to love themselves or a goal to work towards

Because it’s my experience that is the only thing that can change his situation

[graceful mortar]

i dont interpret it that way. i interpret it as im not giving you that level of access into my thoughts. for whatever reason, judgement, being told you need to fix that, etc.

you cant force change. all you can do is give the stepping stones. they will walk when they are ready.... hopefully

[graceful mortar]

i agree. i have TRIED. so hard. parents WILL blank check a trade school if he actually goes. 100% will.

[full fossil]

Yeah I’m not saying I know for sure I don’t know your friend I’m just saying I no addiction well and I know the feeling of I want to die and x is stopping me from doing that so don’t pester me about x unless you want me to die , and feeling like I can’t tell anyone that

And I’ve found from talking to recovered addicts that is pretty common

All addiction is self destructive and you wouldn’t do it if you care about life or yourself

[graceful mortar]

But here's the issue. He's in denial that it's over.

It's his first real relationship where he probably cared about somebody.

And if he goes to trade school even though she has said she will figure it out without him.

It all of a sudden becomes real.

[lethal jay]

Kinda strikes with why I've been putting off any form of therapy. It forces you to confront and be truthful about things, and its easy to avoid that when your scared of what the result of confronting those toughts will be. Its a question you know the answer to, but keep lying saying you don't know the answer because you don't want the answer to be true.

[full fossil]

I can’t even relate to that tbh

I question literally every thought and intention I ever have in real life

[graceful mortar]

Like he regularly says 'you wouldn't survive without me You take too many damn dogs'

She's made it clear that if that's what it takes for him to be happy she has no problem whatsoever

[full fossil]

I stopped identifying with my thoughts like 10 year ago

[full fossil]

He shouldn’t be in a relationship with the behavior your describing it isn’t good for him or her

That’s not debatable imo

[graceful mortar]

Here's the crazy part.

He was romantically involved with my best friends mother. That's who this person is... My best friend that tragically passed.

And was friends with him 🤦

After his passing is when all of this started.

[full fossil]

Maybe the guilt from doing that to his friend is making him hate himself to this degree

[lethal jay]

This just sounds like a scuffed situation

[warm dust]

Guys I need help solving this mystery
So at school today I went to take a drink from my water bottle full of body armor (kind of like prime drink but came before it) and there was this congealed translucent slimy noodle of something inside it. The water bottle was washed and the liquid has been in it since Friday. What happened? Did it ferment into vinegar and that is its mother? I got sick last Saturday, is it my sore throat germs? What happened?

[full fossil]

You need to establish boundaries that your comfortable with and if the relationship is still harmful let them go

[graceful mortar]

Yep denial. And I'm not going to sit there and say that I'm perfect, I'm far from it.

I'm going through my own little hell and I have been for the last 18 months.

I'm terrified that I won't succeed and everything that I sacrifice during 6 years of my life for in the military will be worth nothing.

But even I am well aware that I will not continue down this road because nothing will ever change until I confront it and try to make a change.

Had a bit of a moment today talking to my soon to be ex spouse who's getting out in 3 months.

I realized that I want that and if my body can't do it then my body can't do it and then I accept that and I figure out something else.

[warm dust]

Never keep drinks like that in a container for more than a day

[carmine light]

Everything is a grand conspiracy

[graceful mortar]

She's cut them off, there's no affection there or anything. She cares about his well-being but that's it. (Likely tied to the tragic events that occurred before the horrific accident that took her son from her)

He tries over and over again and when he doesn't get responses it's almost like he doesn't see the non-responses or hear the 'what are you doing?' When he like rubbing her arm and shit.

[full fossil]

You can’t prove it

[carmine light]

Don't need to

[warm dust]

Yes I know that's what makes it so weird that he uploaded another video

[full fossil]

No it needs to be all the way cut off no contact

[graceful mortar]

Nah they weren't friends like that. It really wasn't that deep.

I just thought it was weird that a 21-year-old is hooking up with their sister's dead best friend's mom

_And she's laid it out, she's about to retire in like 18 months. He thinks he's moving up to the mountains with her and she's already laid out like she's not going to be working anymore.
she's not going to be waking him up to get him to go to work or anything like that he's going to solve it himself.

I genuinely believe that he thinks in his head that she will just blank check everything but I've seen the numbers the money's not there to do that. not even close.

[lethal jay]

Why does therapy gotta be so expensive like that......

[full fossil]

It is but if you really want to get mentally healthy you can

For most people anyway

[lethal jay]

It do

but its like...therapy, or a new aquarium

[manic torrent]

Mental health is bullshit. I have myself serotonin syndrome from sertraline and lost 4 jobs in 18 months

[full fossil]

I swear by mindful mediation like that video I linked what it really is is just learning to stop believing and identifying with your thoughts

Learning to exist instead of react to everything

And really examine your every thought and action deeply

[lethal jay]

I just use asmr for that, similar purpose. I just use it to shut off my brain

[graceful mortar]

But that's the thing her son wanted to commit unalive less than a month before the horrific accident.

So him saying that he's going to disappear and that nobody will ever hear from him again and they wont know if he's alive or not ... I 100% believe that that is wearing on her massively.

Meanwhile he doesn't have to stay here, he can go pay his parents rent and stay there. (It's actually cheaper)

But then he doesn't get a personalized to wake up service that drags his ass to work everyday, and he would have to drive to and from him self. and he doesn't want to have to deal with that.

[lethal jay]

or just wind down and relax

[full fossil]

It’s a toxic situation man he just needs to be kicked out sorry

[full fossil]

It’s about more than shutting it off

It’s about having your default not to be just going along with your thoughts and feelings

[lethal jay]

yeah, I use it befort sleep to wind down like that, or a book. Sometimes I use if for the more thinking things

[full fossil]

It’s about being more self aware and intentional in literally everything you do

Some call it the ego death

[graceful mortar]

Nah. Though I do appreciate the outreach.
Either I'm going to succeed or I'm going to fail and I need to go ahead and get it over with realize the realities of my physical abilities and move on.
Happy scared that I'm not going to be smart enough for college anymore when I was one of the smartest kids in school..... (13years ago.... 😪 )

And just accept it.

At this point what happens happens. if I keep putting it off I'm going to be that person you already has a bad back at 30 who is suddenly 50 years old and has to come to the realities that I have to work for another 35 years.

Stop building yourself up or tearing yourself down or taking anything personally just exist and take things on as they come , be in the moment all the time never let your thoughts take you out of it

That video I linked is probably the simplest way to achieve that if you do it daily until you do it naturally

[graceful mortar]

Exactly. But that's what's happening. When they first 'broke up' he didn't get out of bed for a week.
Until her mother showed up and was like get your ass out of bed You have to go to work.

[lethal jay]

The worst part is knowing where you want to be, not having a clue how to get there, and being too scared to go for it without knowing if you can achieve the outcome

[full fossil]

Well there’s two trains of thought on that I think are healthy

One is spend time writing out the steps to get there and just start realizing the other steps will reveal themselves the further you move towards it

The other is to stop giving a fuck, if your bills are paid and your belly is full enjoy what is around you and go with the flow

[graceful mortar]

She came from an aggressive marriage. With an abusive father.

She was telling me one time she told her dad that her boyfriend beat her ass back in high school. And her dad straight up told her 'well suck it up, You're not going to do any better' .....

[full fossil]

I’m the second guy the last 5 years and my life and finances have massively improved because of it

When you plan out your life then the ego gets to tempt more

Building you up when it goes well and crashing you when it goes wrong

But if you just focus on being the best you and work hard and be in the moment shit works out

That’s my experience

[graceful mortar]

If he goes up to his parents his parents will literally pay for anything for the chance at him being a useful member of society. 100%

Now of course we'll be checks and balances to make sure that he actually gives a valid attempt but they've made it clear.

[lethal jay]

Yeah I tried this, but I kinda just didn't even know what steps to right down. I wrote some things down, but it was never of massive use. As for the second part, when the steps put your ability to pay bills in jeopardy...its a lot more scary to try

[full fossil]

Yup those aren’t the right steps then for sure

If you want you can dm me more and I can look at it tomorrow

[lethal jay]

There is no other steps

[full fossil]

And see if I can come up with anything

Right now I have to go to bed I got work in 5 hours lol

[graceful mortar]

She won't do it. Because he will play with everybody's emotions that he's ever met and intentionally "disappear" that will be his final act of control.

[full fossil]

Tbh man you lost me awhile ago, I’ll just say this, take the judgment out of it the best you can and boil it down to concepts

People aren’t that complicated we need a reason, and we need to feel cared for

And it’s not our job to fix or take care of anyone

But I 100% percent would not be in a relationship with someone that contributed nothing and was an asshole for years

[graceful mortar]

Yep. Like I want to be a petroleum engineer It seems like a career where you can change things up when you get bored by going to the various echelons inside of it.

But then I hear the horror stories about how it's a career that only has like 13,000 people and when the industry needs you they need you and pay well but when they don't... Where you going to go now.

I mean we're talking different between getting out of school and negotiating within 2 years a wage of 140k versus a Mech engineer that's going to struggle to negotiate two years in at 70 k

[full fossil]

A month or two while going through something is one thing but that’s about it

[lethal jay]

Have fun at work, if thats possible

[full fossil]

I’ll likely be here

My work at my office is about 20% work

[graceful mortar]

I've been back for 18 months now and it's definitely been going on substantially longer than that because I remember getting the calls when I was 3,000 miles away about how I needed to talk him out of whatever he was planning on doing.

[full fossil]

Most days anyway

[graceful mortar]

Gotta love work life balances

[full fossil]

If it was me I would say this is not my problem it’s your problem and you must enjoy it since you enable him by letting him live there

[graceful mortar]

Her response has well if I don't then he won't do anything at all. Ever. He'll end up out on the streets.

I've had that talk.

[full fossil]

If she really loves him and wants to be with him she should kick him out and say he’s welcome back when he changes

[full fossil]

Not her responsibility and certainly not your burden

He has no reason to change if she keeps him there

That’s why it’s called enabling

[graceful mortar]

Basically saying this is the lesser of the two evils, "at least he goes to work and does an okay job" ...... He's been bathing dogs for literally 10 years now.... Better be doing better than OKAY!

[lethal jay]

While I would love for an easy solution, when stats show any choices towards my end goal would result in close to 40% of the population thinking there is something wrong with me.....I don't know how my current work would handle that, but I know at my old job I would almost definatley have either been fired/let go or driven out seeing as most of the people were very uhhhhh....not friendly towards a certain group of people

[full fossil]

The first thing you should do is not give a shit what people think

[graceful mortar]

She doesn't want to be with him, she's moved on from that grieving part of her life.

The problem is she still cares about him as a person and wants him to be successful.

[full fossil]

I try my best not to offend people believe it or not

But I could care less what anyone thinks about me other than my wife and kid lol

And I mean that genuinely and non maliciously

[graceful mortar]

It was like that when I first got in the army.

Then literally just two and a half years later the new generation started coming in and they were like oh that's cool. And super inclusive

[full fossil]

Then she should kick him out so he grows up or dies

[lethal jay]

Issue is even the new generations are still at 30%

So most are fine, but not all

I mean the manager that would have caused me issues was 25

[full fossil]

I’m so confused

Just say it lol

[lethal jay]

Sorry there is like 2 wildly different convos going on

[graceful mortar]

But she already lost a son.... A son who she feels she should have done a bit better with. As far as protecting him from his father.

It's literally the perfect storm.

[full fossil]

What career path would you have that 40% of people would hate you

[lethal jay]

Refer to above point

[full fossil]

She should go to therapy

[lethal jay]

Probably like....debt collector? But no it wasn't a profession choice, more so a pesronal one

[full fossil]

It’s still vague I don’t understand

[graceful mortar]

Yeah but all we know is that you're some kind of yellow fish thing? (On mobile hard to see) So we really don't know what you're referring to.

[graceful mortar]

Self-employed no insurance.. that won't happen.

[lethal jay]

Career path would be something to do with physics, preferably nuclear energy, but that won't be started for at least another year

Did well enough to get into collage for it

[full fossil]

Idk man to me the answer is obvious kick him out there are excuses for everything

[lethal jay]

so might as well at some point go and try it

[graceful mortar]

Oh then 100% go for it. Like FR FR. Going to need to power all of these EVs that we're going to have on the road in the next 7 years.

Enough EVs to where it's been stated that we need at least 750,000 DC fast chargers

[full fossil]

Most people can survive working fast food

[lethal jay]

Also nuclear energy and physics is super interesting anyways

[full fossil]

Just chase what you love and don’t worry so much

You will never get to a place financial where you are happy

You can be happy right now if you let go of fear doubt and worry

[graceful mortar]

Yep. I tried to push her to.

She won't because she knows he won't go to his parents for help. And she'll be worried about weather he is okay or not.

Soo it s 2 tails on the same fucked up donkey.

[full fossil]

The id tell her you’re done talking about it with her

[echo canopy]

I wonder how healthy Tesla fast chargers are for EVs and how much they limit max capacity. The slower you charge a battery the more “energy” you can put in it.

[full fossil]

She wants to have her cake and eat it to and it’s just enabling him and will go in for years

[graceful mortar]

He just won't work. Just to spite everyone.

Same way if he was gonna UN alive. He wouldn't have told anyone or set a date for it 'unless she comes back'.... He would have just done it.

[full fossil]

I’d imagine it’s like a phone battery where slowly charging between 40-80% is healthiest

[echo canopy]

That’s nearly all Lipo and lifepo batteries. I mean how much the extra heat and strain on the batteries effect it.

[full fossil]

That’s not true but sadly it’s not your problem and guess what if anyone in my real life tells me they are going to commit that and I think there is even a chance they are serious I immediately baker act their ass

[graceful mortar]

Yep. Well and her shop makes money from him just being there. Dogs are nasty.

Hard to get people into the door and can't afford to pay them $20/hr or anything like that.

[full fossil]

Oh I’m sure it does, they lose up to 35% in the cold so temps obviously effect them

[graceful mortar]

I would have had to find him first. That was the issue. He was hiding. And I was 3000 miles away.

[tender geyser]

THIS CANT BE REAL

[vapid smelt]

ew

[echo canopy]

Make sure the CPU isn’t motherboard locked

[graceful mortar]

What about it the price?? Probably closing up shop and liquidating inventory.

That tends to happen when the company that you bought you mistreat and misappropriate. Then you finally get called out nationally about your shenanigans.

[full fossil]

Crazy deal

To bad I just built one

[graceful mortar]

ya i believe it. cost big money to store shit especially as you run out of space.

[echo canopy]

4080 is cringe anyways

[full fossil]

Alienware is awesome tho you get to own a good looking meme

[echo canopy]

You had us in the first half NGL

[graceful mortar]

lol

a 1990's case with a 5lb plastic cover.

[full fossil]

That’s my style baby

It’s been memed on and overpriced for so long that now I love it , I have like nostalgia for it lol

[vapid smelt]

looks real just take the cpu and gpu and trash the rest

[full fossil]

Is this one of the bad airflow cases?

[spice pine]

no matter what, a 4080 and 7700x at that price is a steal

[graceful mortar]

lol like when we believed Chronos (origin) would actually be good. because they sweat the details (hence price) then it was a Total DIASTER!
not just "oh its SFF" like actual shit rip off.

[echo canopy]

Make sure it’s not vendor or motherboard locked on the cpu first.

[vapid smelt]

its a alienware the only good thing is the cooler and yes bad airflow

[full fossil]

Buy it and tell everyone for the next 5 years that your pc is better because it’s an Alienware

[graceful mortar]

?? shouldn't be off the shelf cpu i understand mobo could be locked but actual cpu?
does amd even do custom silicon like that

[full fossil]

It’s a real gaming pc not some Frankenstein from the parts bin

Made with alien technology

[spice pine]

I read some posts about them doing it a while back, but that'd be such a shitty move lmao

[echo canopy]

And CPUs (at least zen3) had fuses that could be poped on the cpu to lock it

Ltt made a video on this

[full fossil]

Ok I really need to sleep

[graceful mortar]

oh shit so like by destruction thats crazy

[spice pine]

I'm only seeing stuff about EPYC CPUs doing it

byeeee

[echo canopy]

[tender geyser]

i caved

[echo canopy]

Fun fact this is also how they program cpu metadata into them for things like name and model number that shows up in task manager

Microsoft also used it to prevent OS downgrading on the Xbox 360

[vapid smelt]

cheaper then buying a 4080 alone

[echo canopy]

See linked video. It’s consumer grade as well

[vapid smelt]

so you going to take the cpu and gpu out and sell the rest of the parts?

[tender geyser]

if its not a price error yea

[echo canopy]

Check the cpu before selling it.

[tender geyser]

i already have a 5900x

so uh, not sure if a 7700x would do me any good

only in single thread stuff i guess

[echo canopy]

Single threaded and especially if you delid it

Everything I’ve thrown at mine it’s done fine.

[tender geyser]

fuck i missed the 50$ off code

its still insane anyways

[vapid smelt]

reorder it spend that 2 minutes to save $50

[echo canopy]

buy another one

[tender geyser]

cheapest 4080 is $1500 cad

thats what the system came to with tax

[vapid smelt]

i wonder if i can buy it in the us

[graceful mortar]

this is crazy liek WTF. hopefully it is ONLY on pro

[full fossil]

why slowmode

[echo canopy]

Because

[graceful mortar]

CAN we??? i coudl use an uupgrade. even if i have to pun with no side panel

[graceful burrow]

It sucks cause that means you can't install the old blades os

[vapid smelt]

you would also need a new mother board so you dont have the bs bios, but then you cant use the alienware case

[graceful mortar]

well. but how bad can it be.... im 1950x/ 1080 ti

[echo canopy]

So close to the meme setup. Also RIP dogshit zen1

[graceful mortar]

in stock form will surely exceed those even with crap cooling and mobo

[graceful mortar]

1920 with a 1080 😉 im on your nerd lvl

[vapid smelt]

just treid you need a Canadain adress to order it

[graceful mortar]

RIP

thats TRASH

[pale osprey]

ship it to me

[graceful mortar]

i mean mail to canada? then pay to have it mailed back to the states XC

[vapid smelt]

set up a PO box in canada

then drive up to get it

[graceful mortar]

just use LMG address and put your phone number in the name slot. "opps was an accident" XD

[near nymph]

Lol ship it to me and I'll ship it out to you.

EZ clap. Just buy me coffee

[vapid smelt]

damnit canadain embassy in Colorado doesnt work

i have 85% trust in xlite

[graceful mortar]

xlite suddenly has 70 systems arrive at once 😨

[vapid smelt]

only thing that sucks about the alien ware is that its legit ewaste other then the cpu gpu and ram

[graceful mortar]

true... but also saving someone from thinking it isnt

LTT offical amazon incase shipping is too high for yall (WAN verified)

https://www.amazon.com/s?me=A2Y23KYE4NAGGJ&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER

ships wayy faster than LTTstore.com does lol. 2 day baby! not 3 weeks

[tender geyser]

theres a 4090 config on the alienware, 2100 cad

basically the price of most 4090s in canada

[pale osprey]

buy it take the gpu sell the cpu storage and ram

[tribal current]

But its also an Dell AIB four thousand ninety.

[runic sierra]

Anyone have a suggestion on how to stream video from computer, onto your phone? Been trying to use VLC and while it used to work occasionally, since getting a new phone it doesn't wanna work at all now.

[tribal current]

Plex? Jellyfin? Kodi?

[pale osprey]

plex is fucking amazing

[solar stratus]

We have some plex fanboys here

[tribal current]

Plex is dead simple for majority of people

I use jellyfin as it's just better not to phone home constantly

[runic sierra]

It's for a single private folder that should be hidden from everyone else on the network. (I think). And there's already a plex server setup on another computer on this network

[pale osprey]

im not paying for any streaming services anymore though

[tribal current]

Likewise

[tribal current]

Plex can forward with other ports then 32400iirc

[pale osprey]

i hear people like linus and luke and rossman saying whats it gonna take for people to start going back to pirating and im over here like

[runic sierra]

I have no idea what that means.

[tribal current]

LTT has a plex tutorial iirc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKDSld-CrHU

[pale osprey]

i got a few strong worded emails from my isp due to my activity

[tribal current]

Seedbox? VPN?

[tender geyser]

no way dude, its declining my card

whyyyyyyy

[runic sierra]

Just tried "Kodi" and trying to get to my computer which is private, I'm met with, " Operation not permitted"

Not even a way to login or anything

[tribal current]

Look up tutorials

[pale osprey]

i got a vpn but ive occasionally forgot to turn it on

[runic sierra]

Damnit, I'm really sick and just wanted to watch shows on my phone while I'm in bed. Now this is gonna turn into a whole project..

[pale osprey]

in the first month of having my plex server my internet mobile app recorded 6.7tb of downloads from the internet

[tribal current]

Docker, set up either a gluetun container and transmission to run under container networking (better route as it'll be easier to use in the future if you add in *arr suite) or one of those combination images with ovpn and choice of torrent client

[lethal jay]

Just watched this....they had an ad for a phishing defence service at the end

[pale osprey]

its not really needed anymore. i got 95% of everything i wanted in the first month so now im only doing a couple downloads a month and the vpn is all i need

[lilac bear]

huh TIL LTT sells some stuff on Amazon directly

[tribal current]

Obviously the *arr suite is nice if you want to get content off the internet archive :)

[sharp leaf]

[pale osprey]

ive just been manually downloading it i got mr.young from there

[tribal current]

I like personally using jellyfin with a proxy container to publish the site remotely with SSL

[graceful mortar]

yep

[gilded quest]

Although Plex as a company confuses me

[rancid forum]

free - jellyfin
free.99 - plex

plex works right out of the box p much with features such as relaying to their own authentication servers whereas if you wish to use your media server outside your local network on jellyfin, you'll have to configure port forwarding and possibly a DDNS to make getting access easier. some people have their firewalls block DDNS as well so YMMV accessing jellyfin on work wifi or walmart wifi lol

you also have more features with plex, but some may come at a cost. plex's apps and app support is far better than jellyfin, you'll find a plex app for every device you can stream media on essentially, whereas jellyfin some apps will be third party, not as supported or just wont exist

[gilded quest]

Plex has nicer apps

[rancid forum]

plex's apps work much better 90% of the time

[pale osprey]

plex is a dumpster fire on my gfs original xbox one

but thats cause of the xbox

[runic sierra]

@rancid forum Plex is probably the easiest solution then. But I'm gonna have to find a tutorial or something to keep it all private. I've got very nosey family members

[tender geyser]

I GOT CONFIRMEDDD

YEEES

MY COPY PASTE BROKE

oh wait no i just dont ave pic perms

guys i got a dell prebuilt with 4080 and 7700x for 1500 cad after tax

😱

[vapid smelt]

order more and flip them

[gilded quest]

Plex requires accounts to use iirc

So you should be fine

[runic sierra]

There's already a plex server on this network

[gilded quest]

But if its content that's vital to keep private, best way to do that is to never let it leave the device it's being viewed on

[tender geyser]

i found it so late, it was up for almost an hour

i coulda ordered like 3

i shouldnt celebrate too early tho, cancellation is still a possibility

[vapid smelt]

are you waiting to buy ram and such once its shipped and you have a tracking number?

[tender geyser]

im not doin shit till its in front of me

[rancid forum]

smart man LMFAO

[rancid forum]

neighbor or brother?

[runic sierra]

Family in general

[sharp cradle]

has anyone had a stubby/colored screw driver ship yet?

[rancid forum]

do u intend to stream to your tv and phone or just your pc?

[runic sierra]

From PC to phone. That's it.

[rancid forum]

im holding no judgements here, are you building up a sexy collection

[runic sierra]

I mean there's a few home movies. But it's mostly just for anime and such. I live in the South. Religious family does NOT approve but they aren't that tech savy. But if they ever went to connect to the pre-existing plex server running on the computer downstairs and somehow saw mine, they'd absolutely snoop.

[rancid forum]

if it were just the anime, you could just create a private library on the plex server but for your movies, id create an entirely new plex account

[gilded quest]

If they have a Plex server they're already more tech savvy than most people

[rancid forum]

im assuming he or a brother set it up

[gilded quest]

Fair

[runic sierra]

My father set it up

[rancid forum]

way to go dad

let me put it this way btw, because plex hosts their own authentication servers, unless hes snooping on whats being port forwarded or basically your pc, he cant know that plex server exists

its not going to be visible to plex just because its on your network, its tied to the account you claimed the plex server on

unlike jellyfin where its specficially tied to your network/pc

[runic sierra]

Ok so....I've just made my own Plex account, downloaded the app on windows.
Sharing media to it will keep it private?

[rancid forum]

the app or the server app

[runic sierra]

.....I think just the app

[rancid forum]

you'll want to set up the server app and point it to your sexy collection and anime

your pc has to be on for you to access the content ofc

[vagrant hornet]

Did the server just go offline?

[runic sierra]

Is the plex media server only in browser?

[real linden]

a potentially easier but less elegant and local only solution could just be making a password protected hidden network folder on windows and just pointing your phone at that

[runic sierra]

@real linden I've no idea how to do that, but I'm all ears

[real linden]

let me open up my vm and look

:(

[rancid forum]

https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/

[real linden]

windows is really taking its time today

[runic sierra]

@rancid forum Installed that, installing the phone app now too

[rancid forum]

phone app is paid

5 dollars to unlock

[runic sierra]

So I can't watch anything unless I pay for it? -.-

They have a free app but it's just spinning. Not loading anything

[real linden]

wut?
glad I picked jellyfin

[rancid forum]

yea

phone is free if u have plex pass which allows for intro skipping, profiles, free phone apps for the accounts, etc

[real linden]

idk how it is on windows but the jellyfin server was easier for me to install

[rancid forum]

well yes initially its p much the exact same

[real linden]

couldn't get the shared folder thing working fyi

[runic sierra]

Is there an automatic trial period? Cause it's letting me watch a show that's currently on my computer on my phone

[rancid forum]

but you have to setup credentials ofr authentication, port forward for external access, DDNS if u wish

[real linden]

wdym credentials?

[rancid forum]

username and password for your account within jellyfin

[real linden]

admittedly the network stuff is considerable especially if you don't know how to get in to your router's settings but I already had it set up

[rancid forum]

yes

[real linden]

yeah but don't you also have to set that up on plex?

[runic sierra]

It keeps auto exiting the video though after a minute or so x_x

[rancid forum]

thats the thing, every user on jellyfin needs their own credentials whereas with plex they can use your admin account and use profiles within

[rancid forum]

free.99

[real linden]

oh i suppose so

[rancid forum]

will your dad bust your door down and take your pc if he sees a jellyfin server on the network

cause last i checked, whoever on the network installs jellyfin will get your server to log into

they cant login unless they have the password but they may raise an eyebrow

[runic sierra]

No one would investigate it probably. Specially since he's all-in on Plex

[rancid forum]

yea uninstall plex then and go for jellyfin

[runic sierra]

And seeing as how Plex wants me to pay for some subscription I'm gonna pass and try Jellfyin

[rancid forum]

yea thats plex pass

jellyfin will be perfect for your needs

[runic sierra]

Jellyfin was infinitely easier to set up. Just gotta figure out how to disable the pop-ups that say, "New episode for xyz"

poised to be means they expect it to be

and thats such an old ass article

[opal thunder]

yeah i saw that and it passed by me since i sold mine for that amount and forgot i didnt sell at new price

[brave plank]

found it, new too

sweet deal, thanks

[tender geyser]

uh

i wouldnt buy that

@brave plank

[brave plank]

y

i wasnt gonna but im curious

[tender geyser]

there's just better price to performance options out there

well, options, probably just one

6700 xt

[brave plank]

ima stop you right there and say i use resolve and blender

so i have 0 choice

[tender geyser]

i was going to ask what u woudl use it for

i very rarely get people that tell me they do blender soo it was just impulse i guess

[brave plank]

vr gaming, blender, resolve

[brave plank]

no, amd gpu's suck in blender

ray tracing is everything in blender

[opal thunder]

nvm i sold it for 450 before the 4070 came out and the price dropped

[tender geyser]

i know bro.

[opal thunder]

pretty surprised the 3070 is actually less than the amount i sold it used rn

[brave plank]

oh i misread

also, rn getting a gpu for resolve sucks

resolve needs vram and unless i want a 3080 i have to go down to the 3060 to get vram

[tender geyser]

i got lucky, i use resolve too and i managed to snag an absolutely insane deal on an alienware prebuilt with a 4080

gonna gut it and say bye to my space ship 3080

[brave plank]

dang man

how much?

[tender geyser]

1500 cad after tax for a 4080 7700x system

[opal thunder]

wtf insane

[tender geyser]

in canada, thats the price of a 4080 before tax, so i basically get a discounted 4080 with a freee system

[opal thunder]

i bought my 4080 for that price dawg 😭

[tender geyser]

it hasn't been shipped yet so theres no confirming im getting it, but they took my money

[brave plank]

dang

[tender geyser]

the deal was up for a good hour, i doubt its a pricing error

[opal thunder]

link to prebuilt pls

[tender geyser]

its gone bro

[brave plank]

on their site?

[forest remnant]

nice, I have 5 30 series cards, aint no way i;m upgrading anytime soon

[opal thunder]

damn

[tender geyser]

dell canada

[brave plank]

why do you have 5

[tender geyser]

https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/cty/pdp/spd/alienware-aurora-r15-amd-desktop this thing

[opal thunder]

i wouldve gotten a second system at that price

[forest remnant]

used to be for mining

[brave plank]

DANG THATS A 3K RIG

[tender geyser]

alienware markup is real

[opal thunder]

yeah

[brave plank]

take a case, go WAH increasing teh footprint for no reason

litterally tilted

[tender geyser]

im probably gonna gut the cpu and gpu then sell the chassis as a plug n play sorta thing

just throw in a cpu and gpu and there u go, working system

[vapid smelt]

sell the rest of the legit ewaste

[opal thunder]

i already have a Ryzen 9 5900x RTX 4080 system but at 1500 i would've taken out a loan and flipped it.

[tender geyser]

yessir

[brave plank]

make sure to sell it as custom pc inside an alienware aalsdjfalsfja case

[tender geyser]

i already have a 5900x so im not sure what the 7700x is going to really do for me lol

[brave plank]

not an alienware asldfjaslfda custom pc, dont wanna trick people

[opal thunder]

damn i cant belive i missed that

[vapid smelt]

i mean the 2x8 4800mhz ddr5 ram is technically not ewaste

[tender geyser]

its super duper ewaste

even better

[vapid smelt]

the multi core is close enough

[tender geyser]

oh shit thats not even as bad as i thought

i dont think i need the extra 4 cores

would be nice to go on am5

im getting all excited but i know this shit is not going to arrive at my doorstep

[vapid smelt]

and depending on the work load it could be better then the 5900x

[tender geyser]

i just edit in resolve, stream, youtuber stuff

so mostly gpu bound, 4080 is gonna help

[vapid smelt]

omg a real user in here that really does youtuber stuff im confused on how you get so much views for roblox shit

[tropic sedge]

should i ger 27 or 32 inch monitor that is the only differance between them and i have no idea what to buy

[graceful burrow]

What resolution

[vapid smelt]

if its 1440p 27icnh

[tropic sedge]

1440

[tender geyser]

lolol roblox fighting games are popular, especially anime themed ones

i just happen to be a youtuber for the best one

[neon mesa]

Roblox games i love to play have average below 500 daily active users

[dull granite]

Roblox sucks

[tender geyser]

true, theres like 2 good games

[dull granite]

how much you earn robux per month

[tender geyser]

0, but sometimes developers are nice and give me a lot, it was my birthday recently and one of em gave me 250k robux

[dull granite]

robot 64, survive disaster, breaking point, public restroom simulator and maybe doors but i didn't play it

[graceful burrow]

All the games I played as a kid on roblox don't exist anymore

[tender geyser]

doors is pretty good but falls off after u beat it a few times

[neon mesa]

Well not entirely correct

That's if you buy it

But if you wanna cash it out through dev ex, that's 70% gone

[tender geyser]

you know whats crazy? 250k is pocket change for most high tier developers on roblox, i think its worth around 600-700 if you use their exchange system

the developer that gave me 250k probably makes millions per day

[tropic sedge]

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room! A rubber room with rats,and rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room! A rubber room with rats,and rats make me crazy.

[neon mesa]

Roblox is the real winner here

[tender geyser]

yessir

in the end, they get the most.

[dull granite]

that's like 3000 dollars

[graceful burrow]

We love companies that exploit children woo

[vapid smelt]

thats 306250 russain rubles

[tender geyser]

not for the developer, if the developer cashed it out using roblox's system, theyd get like 700 bucks?

but they earn millions per day so its pocket change

[dull granite]

wow

[neon mesa]

User purchase 1000 robux.
If they buy a 1000 robux item, dev gets 700 robux.
Then when they wanna use dev exchange, it's another 65% cut

[tender geyser]

premium payouts contribute a lot

[neon mesa]

Either way, most of the money goes to roblox

In return you get free servers and development platform.

[rancid forum]

if u told me in 2013 that in 10 years, roblox would have a thriving developer economy, i would've told u ur full of shit

[tender geyser]

lol 2013 is when i first joined

Hi Ethan

[shut lichen]

🤔

[graceful mortar]

how do you clean speaker fabric... 😪

[neon mesa]

using specific frequencies on the speaker at max value to dislodge them

[vapid smelt]

salt water

[neon mesa]

then iso alc for the rest

[vapid smelt]

97 octane gas works too

[vapid smelt]

joking aside can you not pull it off?

[neon mesa]

man my S20FE straight up need active cooling for fast charging

[graceful mortar]

no

[neon mesa]

i have thermal paste between the back cover and the battery

then another between the back cover and the case

then blast it with a big fan right at it

cools the battery by a solid 7 degrees while it fast charges

since if the battery temp goes above 40C it stops fast charging

and we back at 2005 with 5W charge

[vapid smelt]

charge it in the freezer

[graceful burrow]

Go to Antarctica to charge it

Freeze it in Ice XII and then plug it in

[shut lichen]

[dreamy rose]

what's with intel and calling things "XE"

[graceful mortar]

RIGHT

[neon mesa]

Extreme edition lol

[graceful mortar]

xe graphics

[neon mesa]

It's just HEDT version of Ks

[dreamy rose]

wouldn't that be EX?

[neon mesa]

Xtreme Edition

[graceful mortar]

eXtreme Edition

[dreamy rose]

at least XP was eXPerience instead of Extreme.

[graceful mortar]

i9-975 XE 😎

for XP

[quaint axle]

Why am I in this server

I know nothing about computers or electronics

well 965 was the first Extreme Edition IIRC

[manic torrent]

Fabric cleaner and a brush

Same as you'd use in a car.

[graceful mortar]

?

[manic torrent]

That'll do it

[dreamy rose]

thoughts on the 7700XT and 7800XT?

[manic torrent]

Solid meh.

[graceful mortar]

big one go BRRRR

[dreamy rose]

they look alright. sales look good. at least in 2023 standards.

[graceful mortar]

but price is STILL too high by at least $150- my opinion

[manic torrent]

Yeah like Linus said, they are fine.

[dreamy rose]

that's just stupid.

[graceful mortar]

i mean i FIRMLY believe 4060 TI should be $239 tops for that branding of card.

[dreamy rose]

500 dollars undercuts the 4070 pretty damn well.

[manic torrent]

But nothing is compelling. I'm sitting here with my 3080ti and 5700x and I'm struggling to see anything worthwhile upgrading to.

[dreamy rose]

450 for the 7800XT would have been perfect but you cant expect them to sell massively its AMD. they need to make something off the cards at least. though same can be said with 400 for the 7700XT. except they arent selling as well so theres more a case for it being there. Sales and price cuts will happen soon enough.

[opal thunder]

Learn, it will make your life easier.

[graceful mortar]

and 4070 should be $379 so i would say 7800XT should be there as well. so $121 too much not $150

[dreamy rose]

say as much as you like in the hypothetical. people just don't buy AMD without any of the knowledge and guidance anyone provides. regardless of how good it is.

Nvidia is THE Default.

[graceful mortar]

are you talking about me?
Nvidia is making insane bank on AI sales. after making BANK on 10 series, 20 series, and 30 series from mining sales (regardless of their PR spin, they were shipping master crates to anyone who requested them).
they can lower "gaming class" cards now back to reality. they already nerfed the chip classes vs series naming.

[manic torrent]

They could

[graceful mortar]

aka double dipping less product at inflated prices

[manic torrent]

But they aren't

[graceful mortar]

yep chasing that big validations.

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia has proven they dont give a fuck about us again and again and again.

[graceful mortar]

i'm happy intel is there to help push them out the gaming GPU space. and AMD is ready to soak up the market share. Nvidia can go be the premium AI company they truly want to be.

[graceful mortar]

to me that doesnt excuse their pricing. not one bit hence im still Pascal

ennterprise always had teh bigger margins anyways

[dreamy rose]

it really doesn't. but we're here and we gotta deal.

[graceful mortar]

i havent built to replace my 1080ti yet as i would end up with a shitty 192 bit bus 4070 that's crazy

[dreamy rose]

looks like the 7800XT is a pretty good buy then huh

[graceful mortar]

im aiming for Battle mage they made so much progress with Alch. BM should be the one to truly disrupt. will also pull Amds pricing down with it

[dreamy rose]

dont get your hopes up with Intel

[graceful mortar]

they will be $350 for 1440p ultra. that's their goal

[vapid cypress]

Engineer gaming

[dreamy rose]

YEEE

[vapid cypress]

Heck yeah

[dreamy rose]

any source for this?

[dreamy rose]

Nope

[vapid cypress]

Need a dispenser here

[dreamy rose]

Buildin a Sentry

valve names their Deck APUs after FF Characters and my friend absolutely loves it

[graceful mortar]

2X perf increase based on roadmap.

[dreamy rose]

over Launch perf then sure.

[graceful mortar]

over final Alch

[dreamy rose]

unless Alch is dying this year, they are far from Final. i'm calling this Copium.

[graceful mortar]

talk about double XE cores of A770, 3+ ghz, 256bit bus Gddr6X, we will see what it comes out with. but sounds very promising. and intel said they were targeting lower market

[graceful mortar]

Battlemage is right around the corner.

[dreamy rose]

yes but you cant just Axe support once a new gen is out.

[graceful mortar]

final form meaning once working as designed to.

[dreamy rose]

i mean, you can, but your project would be as good as dead if you did

[dreamy rose]

you just said Final. as if at the end of its support life with all its driver improvements

[graceful mortar]

oh no. working as intended to.

[dreamy rose]

then that's not final.

[graceful mortar]

like final performance.

as in get it working properly, then 2x that. that will be battlemage

[dreamy rose]

again not even close to true, they will still have improvements to do yet.

[manic torrent]

... "final form" is a well known phrase.

[graceful mortar]

ok... it will have at least 2x the horsepower and get improvements along side Alch.
kinda like updating your tires on your car

[dreamy rose]

even that is rather hard to believe. at most you should expect a 1.5% increase

[manic torrent]

Battlemage is going to be interesting.

[dreamy rose]

if i'm wrong for the right reason, cool. for the wrong? yikes.

[manic torrent]

I mean, battlemage is absolutely believably 2x at the top end because they would have another tier.

[graceful mortar]

gen 1 to gen 2 when your competition has lost its mind on pricing? nah you go for blood

[manic torrent]

50% generational improvement, and increased headroom.

[graceful mortar]

intel is seeing Nvidia potential to do what AMD did it ITS private playground for many years with Eypc.

[dreamy rose]

All i'm saying here is don't be throwing everyone on the hype train because you can never break the Disappointment that comes from Mega tons of hype.

[graceful mortar]

either they deliver what was on their roadmap or people will criticize for over promising and under delivering.

[dreamy rose]

if you overpromise and underdeliver you deserve to be criticized. however if the Mob Overpromises, then thats not fair on intel.

just say "Battlemage will be promising" instead of shit like "Battlemage will ABSOLUTELY!!! be 2X Faster!"

[graceful mortar]

intel said that in their slides

[dreamy rose]

ppl who know nothing will take that as fact and get extremely disappointed when its not true

[dreamy rose]

what intel says doesnt matter anything. Reviews speak for themselves. wait for reviews before spurting praise on future hardware.

[dreamy rose]

ok where does that ever say 2X performance?

[graceful mortar]

hold on

ytou need taht for context

[dreamy rose]

all that says to me is 1.5X

[graceful mortar]

thast to me looks like 2x

[dreamy rose]

ok fr the Xe bullshit in their naming is just kinda annoying.

why? just call it EX and get over it.

[charred spade]

i would not try to extract performance predictions from those kinds of slides

they are aspirational and not necessarily grounded in reality

[dreamy rose]

oh yeah, that too. again the hype train can kill if you arent careful and we DONT want that happening.

i could really care less if Arc fails. rest in piss. but people do. and adding hype does damage rather than help

[charred spade]

also, that second graph just shows how the Xe version number increases

[dreamy rose]

Xe is still closely associated with Mediocre Integrated Graphics still. '

[wispy phoenix]

is that twitter's X?

[dreamy rose]

lmao yes

[charred spade]

the twitter X has the gap in the other stroke

[dreamy rose]

the X is Twitter HAVING a Stroke

[graceful mortar]

i dont care honestly i just want full die performance at $699 back and intel is the only chance of getting prices back down to 50hrs of work vs 150hr of work

[gentle slate]

I wonder, will I run into issues with my ISP for high data usage every month.

Technically my internet is unlimited, but will they take kindly to terabytes of bandwidth per month or will I need industrial internet or some shit

[dreamy rose]

Sorry to disappoint boomer, but Inflation and advancement in tech is Expensive.

cheapest high end we are ever gonna get now is 1000.

[charred spade]

thats the remaining marketing folks after realizing Musk pissed away their work to establish brand recognition

[graceful mortar]

yet 60 series pricing was steady for years. also plenty of AI profits to cover all R&D

[dull tapir]

anyone knows why my pc might restart a couple of times before actually entering windows when i turn it and restarts happen after motherboard logo when you can enter bios

[tidal minnow]

50 series momeny

I wonder if the 50 series will have a 90 ti version or a titan version

[dreamy rose]

unless you want your best die being EXTREMELY Mid then theres no chance for a 600-700 dollar flagship.

[graceful mortar]

$1600 and STILL not full die 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia isnt at all a good Example.

AMD is more like it.

[graceful mortar]

where is my titian?

at least that i can go. oh look its fully unlocked die

[dreamy rose]

thats what the 90 class is to replace.

[graceful mortar]

but its worse than titan

[dreamy rose]

maybe. we dont know. there is no titan.

[graceful mortar]

titan has always been fully unlocked

[dreamy rose]

likely wont be since all fully unlocked stuff goes to Datacenter.

[graceful mortar]

then 4090 isnt a titan replacement

[dreamy rose]

or AI to be more exact

[dreamy rose]

doesn't matter what it is, unlocked or not. THAT is your Titan and you WILL eat it up because its NVIDIA AND THEY ARE GREEN

[graceful mortar]

its okay bring back titan Z on Lovelace and ill forgive

[dreamy rose]

well fat chance there because Nvidia doesnt give a shit about us anymore.

[graceful mortar]

ill pay $3K for dual full Lovelace dies

with 2x 48 Gb GDDR6X, etc (Literally 2x full ada)

2x 16 pins 800W total draw

[dreamy rose]

now only if wild dreams could get you somewhere

[graceful mortar]

thats what titan Z was at $3000

okay so $3850. doesn't sound too bad. you'll be set for the next 5-10 years on triple A through brute force.

i mean hell 1080 ti is JUST starting to show its age. and its nearly 6 years old. and that was 4090 style below titian

that would put:
Titian Z (2x full 48gb dies) at $3850
titan at $1283 for 48GB full die
4090 at $897
4080 at $832
4070 at $511
4060 at $319
exactly as it should be funny how that works.
no SLI to hurt 80 sales but dual 60's anymore either

[dreamy rose]

i'm not saying the whole concept is impossible. i'm saying its Imposssible in Modern day with Nvidia

[dreamy rose]

if they had a Titan they wouldnt have a 4090

[graceful mortar]

4090 = 80ti

[dreamy rose]

thats just an 80Ti not a 90. 90 is a titan class replacement

[graceful mortar]

because 80 ti is not full die. Titan is always full fat die

so just move all down a rung
current name vs correct naming
4090=4080ti
4080 ti=4080
4080=4070
4070=4060
4060=4050 (ti?)
