Yo guya

[opal thunder]

?

[gleaming harbor]

i don't have iOS phone but i think my coughs android phone does it

[opal thunder]

which model

[ionic skiff]

Really

[ionic skiff]

Like I had it on my iPhone 12 mini

But I lost it so I had to get an android

Idk if it's on iPhone 11

[gleaming harbor]

[ionic skiff]

[opal thunder]

I have it on my iphone SE 2020, it just uses the gyro.

[ionic skiff]

I have a A52 5g

[gleaming compass]

My Pixel 6a just turns on when it detects enough movement

[gleaming harbor]

damn

[opal thunder]

if your phone doesnt have a gyro it wouldnt be possible for it to be a feature

[ionic skiff]

Dang well it doesn't for my phone and ik it has gyro because I tested it using the debug phone number

[gleaming compass]

even cheap phones have a gyro sensor at this point

[opal thunder]

no idea, i havent had an andriod since version 7

[opal thunder]

yeah its really cheap but you never know if its like a really cheap flip phone or something

i also didnt see the message where they said their phone model

🤡 damn im blind

[gleaming compass]

there are no timezones, there is only GMT

everything outside of UTC/GMT is just a myth

the idea of time zones and daylight saving time was created to distract us from the most important truth of all ...

no, it didn't, but it makese as much sense as "CST" being the best time zone

[harsh quartz]

They hate us because they know we speak the truth

[gleaming compass]

I never said CST, that would be silly. Everyone should set their "time zone" to the location of Reykjavik, Iceland

[manic torrent]

you didn't, polar did, and I was responding to them

[gleaming compass]

Ohhhhhh...

but I agree. Time zones are terrible, daylight savings time is terrible, everyone should use the same clock.

[manic torrent]

you did misspell it

[harsh quartz]

Caesium is not ceasum

[gleaming compass]

You want the Ceasium-133 change states a little more than 9 billion times and then you know a second has passed

your lifetime is irrelevant vs heat death

[gleaming compass]

Is there a radioactive decay, geiger counter, a cat and box involved in this entropy?

[crisp sedge]

Arrrrr

[manic torrent]

everything

[harsh quartz]

You act as if my life is relevant even without considering heat death

[manic torrent]

that's a seperate issue, I'm talking about the period of your life, not the contents.

And I’m saying that the period and the content are interchangeable, both are useless

oh, that's simple observable fact. But if nothing matters, then what matters is relative and still just as important.

What guilt

So is watching movies online for free but I still do it

Idc

I'm not gunna feel bad for multi billion dollar company

[fierce moth]

Piracy is a ethical situation

[indigo plume]

Not an L

[manic torrent]

it's ok we have established that Damocles is selfish and ignorant of his selfishness.

[indigo plume]

I'm fine paying for Indie devs

[fierce moth]

Like piracy makes more sense if you can't legally get the thing you're pirating

[manic torrent]

He refuses to acknowledge or understand the basic concept of ethics.

[indigo plume]

But I ain't supporting these AAA devs

[fierce moth]

But isn't acceptable if you can legally buy the product

[full fossil]

LMAO

[manic torrent]

mehhh, it's greyer than that, and honestly I don't care hugely, but it's important to understand that there are lines

[fierce moth]

For sure

[indigo plume]

I need the money more than these multi billion dollar companies need it

[manic torrent]

where you draw the line is less important than understand there are lines and how they are drawn.

you're an idiot.

[indigo plume]

I will gladly support Indie devs

But these bigger devs don't even care about the consumers anymore

[manic torrent]

a) a copy of modern warfare is basically a download code in a box
b) you are absolutely stealing from best buy - but not the developers.

[fierce moth]

Like i wouldn't pirate a modern game but if it's some snes game and I can't get it legally other than from buying from expensive resellers ofc I'm gonna pirate

[indigo plume]

They only care about milking ppl dry with micro transactions

[manic torrent]

Honestly... yeah, I genuinely don't give shit. But it is important to note the difference.

no difference between physical theft and downloading copyright content?

I am not making anything seem ok - I am also ok with literal physical theft from a walmart.

downloading copyright content does not deprive the owner of the use of the item. it's kind of the ENTIRE difference.

[fierce moth]

Man's run out of comebacks

I was referring to you

[manic torrent]

I pay for all sorts of things. It's because I have an education, and a well paying job.

and it allows me to understand nuance and meaning and pontificate on ethics. You are a reactionary fool.

about how 1080p isn't enough to be useful in 2023, and that it's shameful to even be able to buy a 1080p 15" laptop.

it's fine for gaming and content consumption, stupid for everything else.

[fierce moth]

How so?

[gleaming harbor]

give him some time

[manic torrent]

barely enough vertical pixels to fit a decent anything. You have to use stuff either maximised or close to

I realise most people are drones who have 1-2 things maximised on a screen at a time, so I'm really just yelling into the void, but hey.

[fierce moth]

Me with a 1680x1050 monitor

My monitor is goofy

Mainly cause it's 16:10

And it can do 1080p if I force it

[manic torrent]

What year is it!? I had one of those in 22" like .... 15 years ago

[fierce moth]

I have zero idea

Got it used from a cashies

[gleaming harbor]

you're not alone
i still have 1080p monitor and vga too
im still waiting for an upgrade for my pc

[fierce moth]

As I needed a monitor as my old one broke

My monitor doesn't even have hdmi or display port

Good ole dvi for me

[gleaming harbor]

my motherboard dosen't have dvi so im using ancient port
VGA

[sweet jetty]

Supsup lttcord

[manic torrent]

I don't even have any DVI cables anymore, I think I threw them all out. all my screens using HDMI (because it's easier to switch)

[sweet jetty]

I just use a usb c monitor

[fierce moth]

For sure

I gotta get a vga crt so I can use my consoles on that

Cause iirc you can convert vga to rgb

[gleaming harbor]

that font looks like in the top right and in an online game

[manic torrent]

USB C is just displayport. Either repinned as alt mode, or DP over thunderbolt.

[sweet jetty]

Oh, coolio, mine's 2k but honestly gets everything I need done and more

[fierce moth]

Ngl I think the switch 2's soc will be something either ampere based or ada lovelace based

[sweet jetty]

Tbh I'll like if they just stick to their old design and just make stuff more tactile and make it performant

[fierce moth]

IIRC there was a ada lovelace based tegra chip in the works

[sweet jetty]

Sweet

[vapid smelt]

2048×1080 is a weird resolution

[sweet jetty]

Why so

[fierce moth]

There was two versions, one was cancelled while one seems to be in the works

There is an ampere one already available

[sweet jetty]

That's cool

[vapid smelt]

because 2048×1080 (2k) is a cinema standard, so it strange that you bought one

[fierce moth]

Assuming that dev kits are already in the wild it's most likely ampere based

As production would of accounted this

[sweet jetty]

1080 was too low for the stuff I do and I didn't wanna shell out for a 4k with a displayport because this monitor stays in my dorm, 2k was a sweet spot

[green terrace]

when i play sims on my macbook it runs like dogwater and my mac gets really hot. might get myself a gaming pc as a finishing grad school gift to myself.

[neon mesa]

I just use SD for reference for my drawing lately

[sweet jetty]

I made a persistant live ubuntu install on my flash drive, but I forgot how I got my wifi card to work with linux on my main install 😭

Ive spent an hour just browsing through my history to find it again

[full fossil]

Do you know the model of wifi card that you are using?

[sweet jetty]

uh yeah, it's the archer t2u nano

the top askubuntu method doesn't work for me

[gentle slate]

Is it time to switch to linux 4: electrig quadaloo

[full fossil]

It is indeed time to switch.

[gentle slate]

I have some primitive desire to use linux. Even when Windows does all I want

[full fossil]

Less bloatware, if you are doing anything server side it's mostly Linux.

[fierce moth]

People who use Windows for servers deserve to be punched

[full fossil]

shit...

[full fossil]

when do I get punched?

[fierce moth]

When you least expect it

[full fossil]

oh so any minute

[tired glade]

Why windows server?

[full fossil]

If your company pays for it then maybe a better GUI?

[tired glade]

Just licence cost not worth it

[full fossil]

I just use normal old windows 10 as a server

[tired glade]

Oh

[full fossil]

That's different.

[tired glade]

That's not server os

[full fossil]

great, windows server IMO is ass

[graceful burrow]

if it can send and recieve packets it can be a server

[full fossil]

I think it handles filesharing and active directory well. Even a print server or easy to setup.

[low rain]

Over the weekend i was supposed to read the rules for something I’m doing and it starts tmr, I didn’t read it and it’s over 170 pages

[tired glade]

So, bios is a server?

[graceful burrow]

a piece of hardware, dingus

[full fossil]

Woah woah woah!

Language!

[tired glade]

He knows, he is wrong, that's the joke

[full fossil]

A 170 pg rule book? Is this for cooking a pop tart or something?

[full fossil]

never really liked using it for filesharing, I just use truenas for that.

[full fossil]

My company uses windows server 2016 already so I just went with it, network admins jump on my butt when I touch anything so the least steps possible seems to keep them out of my hair.

[fierce moth]

I use arch on my server

Mainly cause I don't have anything mission critical

And cause I can

But I may switch OS's if I can be bothered

[full fossil]

hi chat

[fierce moth]

If I were to change I would probably look into something like proxmox or unraid

[full fossil]

I like to use ubuntu server for that but just broke so much

Maybe I was doing something wrong

[full fossil]

Hello

[gleaming compass]

Well, you said you used ubuntu :P

[fierce moth]

Generally stock debian is a good server os

[full fossil]

What do you call a server full of bread?

LTT Discord

[gleaming compass]

I would agree with that

Canonical's launchpad provides in writing why no one should be attempting to use Ubuntu as a "server"

[full fossil]

maybe l'll try a different distro

[fierce moth]

You could use arch as a server if you're mentally insane like me

[full fossil]

hmm

[olive stump]

Don’t do this

[gleaming compass]

No, Gentoo as a server if you are insane :)

[olive stump]

Use Rocky for servers 🙂

It’s like CentOS except without the crying

[gleaming compass]

Rocky is a great group

[fierce moth]

I used to love centos but then it kinda died

[olive stump]

It’s still kicking, 9.2 was a solid release

[gleaming compass]

AlmaLinux seems more like CentOS were they aren't completely open
Rocky group is completely transparent in a way that CentOS never way

[fierce moth]

Last time I used it was centos 7

[olive stump]

If you don’t mind working with busyBox, Alpine Linux is pretty cool

[olive stump]

Yeah that’s why I went Rocky 😅

[fierce moth]

Busybox confuses me

[gleaming compass]

Good choice. Really what AlmaLinux only makes sense if you are already an user of cpanel, cloudlinux or kernelcare then AL might feel like a better fit.

[fierce moth]

I've been using cockpit as my webui

[gleaming compass]

busybox makes more sense if you are trying to do embedded work like make your own access point firmware

or create a rescue environment

or light weight vm

[olive stump]

I use Alpine for building very lightweight wireguard routers

[gleaming compass]

nice

[olive stump]

Or what I call an “SSH sponge”

[full fossil]

j

[gleaming compass]

huh? WG or SSH?

[fierce moth]

I had to use busybox when I was setting up ps3 Linux and it was confusing

[olive stump]

Wireguard routers, or SSH sponge boxes, I run them both usually seperate

Sometimes I’ll roll them into the same box but not often

[fierce moth]

Also this is why webui's are the best

Easy vm management

[gleaming compass]

Ok, just promise me you didn't use Dropbear SSH :P

[olive stump]

SSH sponge is a locked down Alpine box with a different PAM and ephemeral SFTP storage for

[olive stump]

God no

[gleaming compass]

OK :)

[olive stump]

Just openssh, keeping it simple

[gleaming compass]

KISS

[olive stump]

All key based, throw on some fail2ban

[gleaming compass]

sigh

nooo... not fail2ban sigh

[fierce moth]

All my SSH servers use openpgp where possible

Generally with my yubikey

[olive stump]

fail2ban is good if you’re not using the default rules, but I’ll bite, why not fail2ban?

[fierce moth]

With a backup rsa key on a usb in a safe

[dreamy rose]

people are still crying over Starfield not having DLSS? Grow up Babies

[gleaming compass]

Because it is a kludge and tends to block more legit attempts than actually stop an attacker that is willing to move around IPs
People tend to use fail2ban as an excuse to try to leave password based SSH enabled when really they should be forcing public/private key authentication for all SSH sessions

[gleaming compass]

the optimized specifically vendor X crap has gotten so stupid

[olive stump]

All valid points, given these boxes are only used by me and only with key based auth there’s no real harm having it

[dreamy rose]

Nvidia was planning to seed Anti AMD Headlines over it. no wonder people are pissed over it.

[olive stump]

It does give me a handy feed of data to pipe into an IP threat reputation tool without blowing my API costs tho

[dreamy rose]

people with brains wouldn't buy it and people with brains dont bitch about not having DLSS

[full fossil]

guh

[olive stump]

Basically once it “jails” an IP it’ll pass the address to a script which’ll pull details about the address and it’s attempts to flick through to me.
It’s very handy for catching out mass internet scans of vulnerabilities

[gleaming compass]

I just don't like fail2ban continually re-reading the logs after they are written. If we are supposed to have log parsing as part of security then it should be a hook that triggers directly as a plugin to rsyslogd or systemd journald

[olive stump]

I’ve seen a few very early F5 vulns thanks to it

[olive stump]

Oh they’ve done that for portability reasons. A lot of fail2ban dev feels very…lazy?

Idk

[tidal minnow]

I want a build which can get 100 plus fps at 1080p ultra on starfield:

"Get a 4090'

[empty pollen]

accuracy by volume.

[tidal minnow]

The fact the best gaming graphics cards get like 90 fps at 1080p ultra scares me.

[gleaming compass]

It feels like a prototype concept thrown together in perl that never made it past the prototyping stage

[empty pollen]

How are we not walking around with 64 gig gpus yet? Textures in games are getting stupid as well.

[gleaming compass]

battery life?

[empty pollen]

stares at wall

[olive stump]

Oh yeah, I mean look at its “support” for anything non SSH, basically confirms this

[full fossil]

Oh man it's fully charged! I can play I'll just boot star....

Alright one more charge will do it.

[empty pollen]

You guys laugh but my p4 alienware had 15 minutes of battery. It was for moving to a new outlet, not for use on the go.

[gleaming compass]

Then if it was an industry accepted concept the OpenSSH devs would have rolled the concept officially into the daemon itself. It is like port knocking. It sounds cool initially but really doesn't provide the amount of additional security in practice and is just more security by obscurity.

If you are carrying around a 64GB GPU in your pocket then you should also have a Jackery 3000 power station to go with it

[olive stump]

Agreed, look there are some edge use cases for it, specifically I want to cut through the noise of the openssh logs a bit and essentially filter the big hitters.
And yeah I don’t think I’ve ever used Port knocking, can absolutely brute force a 3 port port knock

[gleaming compass]

how much of that battery life was eaten by pre-installed bloatware? :P

[full fossil]

Lmao! You can switch to a new outlet lmao. You had to run to the next outlet don't lie lmao

[gleaming compass]

I think we will see some interesting concepts come out once HTTP/3 gains adoption

[opal thunder]

I'm half expecting to see in "I use arch btw." in your bio, time to check.

[empty pollen]

This was before dell bought them, we also wiped them and started fresh. The default winxp skin they shipped with was pretty lightweight.

[opal thunder]

Damn, I was wrong.

[gleaming compass]

I use Fedora shrug

[graceful burrow]

i do use arch, btw

[opal thunder]

lmao

[full fossil]

Mi lady

[gleaming compass]

I use Arch's wiki

[olive stump]

Thinking of swapping my laptop to Arch

[gleaming compass]

But I have never used pacman

[olive stump]

Need something a bit more…mainline-y

[empty pollen]

Yeah after about six months the battery life got even worse. Most of us left the battery out except when traveling, airport security could not see through them so required us to turn them on.

You did not want to be the guy with a dead battery in an international airport security line.

[full fossil]

Could see through them? Lead lined PCs? Or just thick?

[empty pollen]

Thick, almost three inches.

[gleaming compass]

I like the idea of Arch but I already need to use RPM and DPKG on a daily basis. Arch's choice to use pacman instead made it less interesting for me to rush out to try.

[manic torrent]

I mean.... it's kinda the whole point though

[full fossil]

Thiccc

[olive stump]

You mean you aren’t swapping everything over to flatpaks? 🫠🥴

Thank you, saving this discord.

[fair estuary]

well I've found a way to dodge tickets on the train so far with 100% effectivity (tried it 6 times so far)
but basically, if I just pull out my laptop and put visual studio on with some code they must think I'm busy or something and just walk past without asking for the ticket, then to get through the barrier at the station, I just buy from the closest station to that one so its only like 70p not £28.

will this catch up to me, possibly; but that's for future me to worry about.

These things got so hot that the body paint would wear down where you put your wrist, the main heat pipe was right under there.

Those controlls on the front? For using the cd drive without turning it on, yeah... this is my portable cd player.

[dreamy rose]

i mean the AUR is the best package repository

I tried that in San Francisco a couple of times, I had to pay the price. My friend, regardless if we pay now or later, the bill always comes due. You can run.....

[full fossil]

I'm sure for it's time it was impressive engineering though.

[dreamy rose]

who wants Baked Wrist for lunch?

[empty pollen]

It could run new games at max but was a bit close to the edge, they really needed to work on heat management for a bit longer before releasing something like that. End of life most had pretty severe heat damage to the chassis.

Benchmarked really well at the time lol.

Honestly its pretty funny that they are kinda coming back in cases like what linus reviewed a while back.

[gleaming compass]

I wish someone made a mid-tower case with VESA monitor mounts on one side so you could treat it as a luggable

[dreamy rose]

Full Size PCs, screen and all in the formfactor of a Suitcase.

[empty pollen]

Mount on the side and all, legs popped out the bottom, did you see that one?

[empty pollen]

and that screen was a CRT made of glass lol.

no

[dreamy rose]

there was a "portable Workstation" case that had that linus looked at years ago

[empty pollen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuvmzSGlP08

So we are starting to see things like it.

[dreamy rose]

tbh. if i was taking a full size PC with me somewhere i'd probably use a VR Headset/HMD as a monitor

[empty pollen]

You still kinda want console, not sure how well that would work headless.

[dreamy rose]

i'd probably use one as a monitor regardless of if i'm taking it anywhere

[dreamy rose]

a PSVR2 can be used as a monitor if you plug it into an on GPU USBC

it just wont function as a VR Headset without a driver and well, hardware since you cant force DSC in Windows drivers and no DSC locks out VR Modes

[empty pollen]

Neat, am not in that ecosystem. Also have never attempted to boot my machine up with only my vive connected.

[dreamy rose]

i'd be using a SteamOS made for a Standalone PCVR Headset like Deckard.

yall is the series x controller good

growing sick and tired of my micro usb xb1 controller. Shitty connector. Aint had nothing but issues with it

what do you think?

[gentle slate]

idk

[dreamy rose]

you use an Xbox Oner controller don't you?

[gentle slate]

Ye

[dreamy rose]

do you like the Xbox One Controller?

[gentle slate]

the micro usb port has been a nightmare. the cables are fine, but the thing is bloody loose. Bump it slightly and its gonezo

I like it. Except the bumpers. I dont like how theyve made the bumpers

[full fossil]

Playstation controllers are hardcore the best.

[gentle slate]

ew playstation controllers

I didnt like having to use random software to make my ps5 controller work on PC

[dreamy rose]

well theres your answer on the Series Controller. it the same thing with USB C Instead. just perfecting perfection.

[gentle slate]

time to fork over my hard earned money for a controller.

[dreamy rose]

lmao, OK Jim Ryan

[gentle slate]

XB controllers are like the perfect size

[dreamy rose]

XB controllers are Perfect.

[full fossil]

If developers would adopt the haptics on the controller it would be much more immersive.

For the ps5 controller

[dreamy rose]

Sony has used the same NES Dogbone design since it came out in like 1993.

[gentle slate]

60 EUR for series X controller

oops that was a very spammy hmm

[graceful burrow]

steam input fully supports them out of the box now, basically no config most of the time

love me dualsense

[gentle slate]

i dont play through steam often

[graceful burrow]

rip

[gentle slate]

oops i said ps5. I meant ps3

I was looking at a ps5 controller to see what sony be doin

[graceful burrow]

oh
still should be supported through steam but im not 100% sure

i think the ps5 controller is the best on the market rn, xbox 360 controller is second, xbone third

[gentle slate]

it looks clunky

and the touchscreen bit is essentially wasted on PC innit

[graceful burrow]

i have big hands

nah you can map swipes and stuff

also two click buttons on it

[gentle slate]

oh I also have a vendetta against sony. I dont like them

[graceful burrow]

i dont blame you much there

theyre keeping my very desired games from me.

[neon mesa]

Same feeling against meta and their vr exclusives

They're keeping standalone beatsaber from pico standalone.
And also keeping Asgard's wrath from both competing standalone and PCVR

[gentle slate]

eh i dont really care about VR

[dreamy rose]

the only thing worth buying would be PSVR2. Not the consoles, just the VR Headset.\

[gentle slate]

if i did anything VR, It'd be Vive Index or sth

valve? idk anymore

[dreamy rose]

they don't make games so buying those is fine.

[gentle slate]

ive yet to find a game taht makes me go "oh damn I need VR"

[neon mesa]

Flatscreen has lost its appeal for me

Ever since i tried VR

[dreamy rose]

i had that moment with VR Chat but that dream died and now its ChilloutVR for me.

[gentle slate]

I never saw the charm in VR Chat

I tried it. Felt incredibly cliquey

[vapid cypress]

I tried it, it was really akward

[gentle slate]

Nothing beats joining a public lobby just to encounter 3 entirely separate friend groups totally ignoring everybody

[vapid cypress]

Truee

[dreamy rose]

VR Chat is shit. ChilloutVR is the better game, but VR Chat is far more popular cause its older

[gentle slate]

In the end I devolved to Knuckles and started clicking at everyone until I got beaned

Vr chat is like real life

[shut lichen]

beatsaber

[vapid cypress]

😨

[gentle slate]

ehhhhhh

[dreamy rose]

its mid

goes back to buying a console for 1 game

cant wait to play beatsaber 8 times then retire the VR headset to a drawer.

[vapid cypress]

Boneworks

[gentle slate]

isnt that motion sickness simulator

[shut lichen]

you don't really realise how many good vr games exist until you actually own a headset and get to fuck around with it

Window 11 sucks in general

Made my pc into trash

[sick coral]

i wouldve done that but im on my school computer rn

on my home rig i run atlasos

[gentle slate]

I genuinely wanna move to linux but I hate how Linux does certain things

[sick coral]

like what

[gentle slate]

file management. You dont seem to really get to pick where stuff gets installed

works with steam games and separate libraries, but I cant just decide "i want this package on my HDD"

[shut lichen]

while fucking annoying, you can make it appear by switching to "folders"

[gentle slate]

and software support also seems iffy on Linux

too much fiddling. Not enough using.

[sick coral]

i mean it never bothered me, i never had to install a package over 1gb in size

[gentle slate]

I install non steam games that are over 50GB in size

[sick coral]

using heroic?

[shut lichen]

one of the main things that have annoyed me when trying to use Linux on the desktop in the past is the lack of any proper sharex alternatives

[gentle slate]

lutris actually

[shut lichen]

they're all horrible to use in different ways

[sick coral]

you can pick where you install if you use heroic and lutris

[gentle slate]

I used a combination of apps.

greps + something else that uploaded the image

I think it was turned into a script that was then keybinded or sht

but fr screenshot app availability is sad.

[sick coral]

flameshot is fucking awesome idk what youre on about

[gentle slate]

I aint gonna use xorg no more

[sick coral]

why would you want to use wayland

[gentle slate]

coz xorg is dinosaur aged

[sick coral]

but everything supports it

[gentle slate]

idc I want stuff to feel good

insane tearing doesnt feel good. Iirc I had that with xorg eons ago

[dull granite]

we ain't forgor

[sick coral]

i never had any issues with xorg really

only issue i had is with the nvidia drivers

[gentle slate]

I did use some xorg compat thing for wayland

so xorg apps ran on it

[sick coral]

now that fsr3 is a thing i will NEVER buy another nvidia gpu

[gentle slate]

I hate fsr and dlss

[sick coral]

why

[gentle slate]

why cant they make games just run on their intended resolutions

[dreamy rose]

people still cry over FSR being the only tech in Starfield.

[gentle slate]

half the time it either makes the game blurry or performs the same, or it makes the game look like hot garbage

[sick coral]

yeah

[gentle slate]

lower res upscaled just looks and feels disgusting

[sick coral]

but its not like we have a choice

[dreamy rose]

Grow up you Fetus. FSR is the only one you will ever need in your game

[gentle slate]

im just not playing games that need it until they can be bruteforced through pure hardware

[sick coral]

for most games, id rather play at ultra settings upscaled than playing them at medium native

[gentle slate]

just knock out singular settings

the first things I turn down are shadows, volumetrics, view distances

[dreamy rose]

i'll be doing ultras at 1080p cause i only got 60hz.

[idle nymph]

Honestly fsr and dlss is good, if youre mad at game that need it to run decently, complain to the dev, not about fsr itself

[sick coral]

of corse there are exeptions, witcher 3 looks horrible with dlss/xess/fsr on

[gentle slate]

I mean they still look ugly

I see no universe where upscaled low res looks good

[sick coral]

these are the last things i usually turn down

[chrome vector]

.5E ÷4×

[gentle slate]

huh

[idle nymph]

It isnt meant to look good, but it look honestly decent if you just use at ultra quality

[chrome vector]

Elon's next kid's name ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gentle slate]

idk i refuse to use fsr or dlss

devs get complacent "just use fsr lol"

[idle nymph]

I never turn those down

[idle nymph]

Dev issue not fsr or dlss

[gentle slate]

no fsr or dlss means dev has no choice

[sick coral]

i dont get why people dont talk about xess. i find it to usually be the best looking and performing about as well as fsr

[gentle slate]

they dont talk about it prolly coz they aint heard of it

[idle nymph]

Cause like two game support it

And its buggy as fuck

[sick coral]

dlss is the buggiest out of all of them

[idle nymph]

Wdym

[sick coral]

at least from my experience

what a surprise, in a sea of foss options, the proprietary option is the most popular as well as the buggiest

[idle nymph]

Dlss is usually the best tho

One or two game being the exception most likely

[sick coral]

framerate wise, yeah

[idle nymph]

And look wise too

[sick coral]

but dlss usually looks like you rubbed mashed potatoes on all the textures

fsr looks best but runs worst

[idle nymph]

Nuh uh

[full fossil]

Bread lss?

[arctic pollen]

People are upset over DLSS/FSR?

[manic torrent]

Dlss is working well for me in starfield

[dreamy rose]

Sadly. Adults dont grow up

[dreamy rose]

"WAAAAH, MY DLSS! WAAAAH!"

[arctic pollen]

I love the tech

I can see if you game at 1080P and maybe even 1440P sometimes how it might not be great for you

[dreamy rose]

upscaling is more for 1440p and 4K/8K. but nobody is using 8K

[arctic pollen]

Right - I game at 5120x1440 DLSS can be critical

[gentle slate]

I still dont like fsr or dlss

[manic torrent]

Ok.... congratulations?

[dreamy rose]

we don't need DLSS when we have FSR, that works everywhere

[arctic pollen]

Frame gen is nice sometimes

[dreamy rose]

Fluid Motion is coming.

[arctic pollen]

Hopefully, maybe, who knows

[dreamy rose]

it is coming.

[arctic pollen]

Yes, I know, I read the articles and saw the videos also. Yet to be seen.

[sick coral]

i mean the tech itself is incredible, but i hate how modern games use it as an excuse to not optimise their games more instead of allowing us to use it as a way to run higher resolutions on lower end hardware

[arctic pollen]

Competition is good - I do own both Nvidia and AMD flagship GPUs... DLSS looks better to me overall, but I appreciate both.

[idle nymph]

It is

Im hyped to get FG on my 6800 tbh

[dreamy rose]

however, DLSS is pointless,

[sick coral]

whether its fsr, xess or dlss, i dont care, except i do because im an advocate for open source solutions and out of the three dlss is the only proprietary one

[arctic pollen]

I am not sure I understand how it is pointless

[dreamy rose]

FSR is the only relevant one out of the three too.

out of all three brands it works on only ONE.

[sick coral]

which is why im glad fsr3 gives us framegen

[dusty rune]

if DLSS didnt exist, FSR prob wouldnt exist either

[arctic pollen]

FSR artificats very strangely for me sometimes, but DLSS is always good

[dusty rune]

bionic hates everything that isnt linux or amd

[sick coral]

amd always do cool stuff with their hardware

[manic torrent]

Let.me.put this into context for new people, BSS is an unapologetic AMD fanboy.

[dusty rune]

the mac isnt a pc argument was hilarious to me

[arctic pollen]

I own both to get a fair assessment

[manic torrent]

As do I. He is not interested in a fair assessment. Nor does he own any hardware made in recent memory

[sick coral]

https://youtu.be/te1AEj_RA64

[dusty rune]

what r u trying to show

[sick coral]

if it can run linux its a computer

[dreamy rose]

again. FSR Works everywhere. you can absolutely get upscaling without DLSS. DLSS is limited to Nvidia hardware only, is used to upsell a shit generation and well. features locked behind Generations is just not cool. especially when the competitor does it on older hardware anyway.

[sick coral]

argument over

[dusty rune]

..wat

[manic torrent]

I too hate it when new features take advantage of new hardware.

[dreamy rose]

no shit. but it doesnt make it a PC Either. Linux is ported to literally any platform you can imagine. not just x86

[arctic pollen]

You're not teaching me anything. Yeah, FSR works. DLSS works. Not sure how it upsells a "shit" generation - my shit generation murders my current AMD GPU.

[dreamy rose]

you clearly forget how Nvidia Advertised the 4000 series at Announcement/ Release

[dusty rune]

cant wait for FSR 3 to be absolute dog

[idle nymph]

Either its shit either its good enough

[sick coral]

thats not the issue, the issue is the new hardware is designed to perform well only with those new features

[dusty rune]

uh

40 series performs very well even without DLSS, lol

[manic torrent]

.... wat

[arctic pollen]

I don't need to obsess over marketing - I also remember AMD marketing their GPUs as well....

But I decided to buy both 4090 and 7900 XTX... one is signficantly... SIGNIFICANTLY... faster and more efficient.

[manic torrent]

Don't get me wrong, Nvidia suck and are terrible, but you don't need to make up shit to be angry about.

[sick coral]

(imo) 4060 was designed to run with dlss & framegen on.

[dreamy rose]

i wouldn't say so. excluding the 4090 the generation is pure trash

[dusty rune]

huh?

[manic torrent]

4060 is a generation? Or maybe just one card...

[dusty rune]

turn on RT and watch amd falter

[sick coral]

who talked about generation

[manic torrent]

I mean, I'm giving the 40 generation a miss.

[dusty rune]

what?

[dreamy rose]

Framegen at Low FPS is a Terrible idea,

[limpid fern]

same, ill wait till the 50 series

[sick coral]

thats why dlss is there

[limpid fern]

also hi bob

[arctic pollen]

Or turn on FSR in a game with foliage and have a seizure

[manic torrent]

Yeah not really. Also RT is extremely overrated. It's good, but mehhhh.

Everything is shit. Being a fanboy for anything is cringe.

[limpid fern]

rt is good in very specific applications

[dusty rune]

eh, i almost never had to use FSR on my 6700xt (i play older games/ones that dont need a lot of power)

[dreamy rose]

well no shit. Nvidia is a trillion dollar company firing on all cylinders while AMD is doing half and half with GPU and CPU at 5th of that.

[arctic pollen]

So there's qualfiers now

[manic torrent]

AMD is so tiny, only 180 billion

[dreamy rose]

be Glad AMD is going this hard at all cause they shouldn't be competing at all.

[manic torrent]

They need your help! Spare a dollar for AMD?

[dreamy rose]

Fucking Oath they are. imagine fighting a dude 10x the size of you.

[sick coral]

it depends on the game. say the witcher 3, it doesnt make a difference, but cyberpunk 2077, i cant explain how big the difference is between rt on and off

[arctic pollen]

That makes no sense what so ever

[manic torrent]

You might not be able to explain, but... I have eyes, a 4k OLED, and a 3080ti, and I can see the difference.

[sick coral]

i said i cant explain how big the difference is

[arctic pollen]

Like I am all for having a favorite brand but this is just goof ball - let's not pretend AMD is some sort of mom and pop charity company

[dusty rune]

amd our lord and saviour

[manic torrent]

In certain scenarios etc etc .... sure. Absolutely. But honestly in terms of actual experience that makes a difference? Minor.

[formal anchor]

Bread?

[arctic pollen]

Especially in winter when our homes are so cold

[sick coral]

did you even read my post. i said it depends from game to game.

[dreamy rose]

It makes plenty of sense. the big guy should be FAR ahead having all extra deeds and Shit on their side. but they Aren't. the small guy is giving them shit. it SHOULDN'T be happening but it is.

[manic torrent]

Then you specifically talked about cyberpunk, which is what I am talking about right now.

[dusty rune]

maybe my gpu wont termal throttle in the winter

[crisp sedge]

hi

[sick coral]

id say about 50% of the time it doesnt matter and 50% of the time it makes such a big difference

[crisp sedge]

gpu war?

[trim ermine]

amd gpu tier list when?

[crisp sedge]

i remember you

[dreamy rose]

he is Bob ofc you do

[sick coral]

i disagree, that game is improved by rt in every scenario

[crisp sedge]

pals

buy whatever you like

dont bully others for buying a gpu from the other brand

[chrome vector]

Working on an SMT machine be like

I have so many components

it's getting ridiculous

[sick coral]

are these bolt shaped drugs?

[crisp sedge]

what are they

[arctic pollen]

So you're surprised or rooting for the company that's been around for like 35 years prior to have an impact in the industry? I am sorry if I don't understand how a company from the 1970s being a very average innovator is a feature to the industry.

[chrome vector]

yes

[sick coral]

amd isnt the small guy

[arctic pollen]

That mindset is hilarious to me

Maybe it's because I am old, but AMD has been trying to be relevant for like 40 years

[dreamy rose]

Are you implying AMD has done barely anything for the Tech industry?

[arctic pollen]

I am implying that you are rooting for a company that existed some 35 years before Nvidia as if they're some new kid on the street underdog story

[full fossil]

b

[sick coral]

tbf they do actually do cool stuff

[manic torrent]

I didn't say it wasn't improved.

[full fossil]

why chat bread

[arctic pollen]

More recently, but they have been trying to not be in the shadow for my entire life

[full fossil]

im still confused about that

[manic torrent]

I mean, I am a memorable guy.

[full fossil]

i don't remember you

[sick coral]

remember r9 nano having hbm?

[crisp sedge]

or i have a good memory, you were the "nothing matters" person

[dreamy rose]

well that's just plain not true. what about Reaching both Dual Core, 1ghz and adding 64 bit instructions to x86?

[manic torrent]

.... just like when AMD introduced the 64 bit extensions?

[manic torrent]

Nothing matters and everything matters is ontologically the same position

It's just a matter of scale.

[crisp sedge]

ok

[full fossil]

guys how do you delete a file i forgor

[crisp sedge]

ctrl + a, shift + del and click on yes

[dreamy rose]

did you forget how to drag to a Bin?

[arctic pollen]

I am not going to snipe abstract concepts, its simple - I am experienced enough to remember when AMD was the gross ewwy brand you bought when you couldn't afford Intel. They're not a small up-and-coming underdog company, they've just not been very innovative until maybe the last 10 years.

[full fossil]

which one

[dreamy rose]

Recycle Bin

[chrome vector]

A lot of stuff, I segregate specific components or by size. But in their there's some capacitors, microchips/micro controllers, some crystal oscillators, transistors, a bunch of other stuff

[full fossil]

which

[manic torrent]

.... you're not that old if you think that.

[crisp sedge]

nice

[arctic pollen]

WHen the models were like "Pentium 133"

[dreamy rose]

i never said they were up and coming, i said they were a Fraction of what their competition is.

they STILL ARE

[full fossil]

i need to remove some stuff on my laptop

[manic torrent]

Yes, but when the models were "opteron", AMD was walking away.

[full fossil]

its living on 50 mb of space left

[dreamy rose]

on the desktop. on the left side of the file explorer?

[arctic pollen]

My point is that they lived in the back corner of the store for decades - let's not act surprised they made something finally

[manic torrent]

Finally? I'm talking about 15-20 years ago

[full fossil]

im looking at on the left side on top of my desk and i don't see it

[arctic pollen]

Yes, and they existed some 35 years prior to that

[manic torrent]

..... next thing you'll be whinging about cyrix.

[full fossil]

can someone help me please

[dreamy rose]

they've always made something. but they are competing instead of letting the competition run Unchecked

[full fossil]

its screaming at me to delete something

[arctic pollen]

No one is whining - I am just unimpressed that a company that's existed for 50 years makes a #2 product. I can't clap that slowly.

[manic torrent]

Pour water on it until it's stopped

[arctic pollen]

That's the nature of humanity, not an effort of AMD

[full fossil]

it don't stop

[arctic pollen]

That's called capitalism lol - if not AMD it'd have been someone else

[opal thunder]

what the actual fuck? lmao

[full fossil]

you liar

[arctic pollen]

I think AMD is doing great things - I have probably owned more AMD than most people here, but let's not pretend their not still deep into 2nd place on most fronts.
