[long briar]

and 5D4 never should've had microhdmi

[polar fern]

My issue with small connector ports is that it’s impossible to clean them properly - same with ones with tons of pins

[hot lichen]

imagine being a $1500 advanced dslr camera and using an outdated hdmi

[sonic spruce]

Yes

[long briar]

it's not display port, it's HDMI/s

also 5D4 was before mass adoption of type C

[hot lichen]

i see mb

[polar fern]

Okay, I need some kind of brunch and tea

[pliant karma]

agreed ironically I do want one of the newer sony alpha cameras for the fullsize hdmi

run it off a smallrigs cage and battery

[long briar]

what pisses me off is the R5 has mini HDMI as well

[pliant karma]

basically a small cine camera setup

unless I buy the FX30 👀

[long briar]

I have other issues with Sony but they're solid yea

A7r5 having full size HDMI

[pliant karma]

funny thing is I have tinkered around enough on sony's menu to navigate it quite well. Same to RED and Blackmagic

[long briar]

I've never used the latter two brands unfortunately so can't say much on it

[pliant karma]

now I think about it that is what I like doing in my free time, tinker with camera menus

lol

[long briar]

I want an old Blackmagic with the EF mounts just to toy with

[pliant karma]

ahh the BMK 6k Pro

they made a new one with full frame sensor vs super 35

but it uses a new mount

[long briar]

BMPCC 6k pro but yea

EF mount as so many lenses

yet Canon is probably the most closed off

to third party

[pliant karma]

yep on the used market too where I usually buy my lens lol

[long briar]

cheapest lenses too, all first party

[pliant karma]

also got some vintage 90s minolta lens I adapted over

[long briar]

Oh nice

idk lately I just haven't had the time to go shooting

so what ends up living in my bag is actually a Canon M200 with 22mm f2

just because how small and out of the way it is

I love manual lenses and all but there's just something magical about a camera you just pull out, snap and put away

[pliant karma]

ah yea feel ya though I just have been helping others with films for the past few months

[graceful burrow]

👀

I heard minolta

[pliant karma]

hopefully if things go according to plan there i gonna be an IMBD page for one of the films with me credited but ah that is still in talks with the team

[graceful burrow]

Based hope it happens

[pliant karma]

majority vote 🙂 I am ok with it other prob not

[harsh quartz]

Bruh discord broke as fuck

[graceful burrow]

[pliant karma]

always broken

[harsh quartz]

My text box is at the top

[pliant karma]

I got rick rolled through a link yesterday lol

people saw in my class

[wanton junco]

I just rolled back after an update because the new UI obfuscated a tone of info I used. Really annoying

[wanton junco]

lmao, quite broken

[harsh quartz]

I reloaded the app and it’s fixed now but like how badly do you have to fuck up for the whole text box to move

[wanton junco]

What app version are you on?

[harsh quartz]

Yes

(I have no idea)

[wanton junco]

You can check in the app info, it'd probably be by the bottom of the menu

[full fossil]

wot

[wanton junco]

I just rolled back from version 200.13 to 199.15 because the new UI really doesn't work well for me

[harsh quartz]

What

[full fossil]

its on top

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but I’m lazy

[wanton junco]

Fair nuff

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, that was the whole conversation

[full fossil]

sorry

[harsh quartz]

:p

Do y’all know about the alternate discord layout thing? I wonder if that’s what’s been causing all the UI bugs recently if they keep trying make new ones

[ebon otter]

Are we gonna get a new video today?

[harsh quartz]

ask again at 12:01 AM tomorrow

[vapid zephyr]

To hopefully ruin someone's day:
Boneless wings aren't made by removing the bone from the wings; they're chicken breast roughly shaped like a wing.

[shrewd surge]

Got a soundbar for my computer so I don't need to use thee speakers behind my monitor

[vapid cypress]

Oh no fast food is made out of lies? What a shocking and extremely unfortunate news 😰

[sage quiver]

This is precisely why proper wings >

[vapid zephyr]

Tru

Boneless wings are pretty dope regardless

[vapid cypress]

There is nothing better than homemade food

Too bad I can't cook anymore

Well less than usual

[wispy marsh]

What's jawa juice?

[stoic scarab]

It's been 4 days since the last video

I hope we finally get Secret Shopper Ep2 today

[ionic abyss]

youtube sucks

they actualy blocked videos today

[prime solstice]

I wonder if brave ad blocker still works

[ionic abyss]

you tube has gone to far

[sharp cradle]

by blocking people from using ad blockers?

or what?

[ionic abyss]

stupid response to ad blocking

actualy stopping users from using ad blockers

[sharp cradle]

lol

they use ads to pay for the platform, they are well within their rights to stop ad blockers lmao

[prime solstice]

Honestly I mostly enabled my ad blocker when I was watching videos for homework

[ionic abyss]

i would disagree about the stoping adblockers

warning is one thing

[prime solstice]

But how are you gonna warn everyone if your creators aren’t making any money

[sharp cradle]

youre actually stealing from the platform lol. its like getting pissed at a company for trying to stop piracy

[ionic abyss]

they dont pay creators properly

[sharp cradle]

like i use an adblocker lol, but don't act like we aren't in the wrong

[stoic scarab]

Let's face it. If youtube didn't have Google. It might have gone bankrupt already

[ionic abyss]

i tend to agree

[stoic scarab]

The platform is barely profitable

[ionic abyss]

youtube isnt profitable in reality

[stoic scarab]

I just use YouTube premium because I think the money is better spent on it than Netflix and Spotify

[sharp cradle]

youtube is 100% allowed to block ad blockers, if you don't like ads pay for premium 🤷‍♂️ or don't use youtube

[stoic scarab]

You can always use floatplane yk? Even though I totally hate the floatplane business model

[ionic abyss]

i disagree with you irish

[stoic scarab]

I hate that floatplane is basically video Patreon and that you pay per creator

I prefer the nebula business model

[calm swan]

mine works

[polar fern]

youtube is primarilly ad supported, so yeah

[ionic abyss]

the adblock issue is one the ad blockers will win

[sharp cradle]

why? blocking ads is taking away income from youtube, why shouldn't they be allowed to block ad blockers? they are a private platform

[calm swan]

not wrong

spotify has done it b4

[ionic abyss]

when youtube gets enough backlash they will revese the action

[prime solstice]

Ok you work without pay don’t come crying when you don’t get paid

[sharp cradle]

why would they. they don't lose anything

people who use ad blockers dont give anything to the platform

so why would they care lol

i mean yes, you could argue buying merch gives more money to the creators than ads ever would

[calm swan]

just buy merch

[sharp cradle]

which is true, but thats why when i use ad blockers, i often times have already supported the creator elsewhere

[calm swan]

i turn off ublock for some channels

[prime solstice]

I’m broke I can’t buy a $50 shirt

[calm swan]

buy a $10 giftcard on

[sharp cradle]

ltt has taken $100s of my dollars lol, i don't mind using ad block on them, but i also started paying for premium

[prime solstice]

I only have fiddy cents

[calm swan]

oh well

[ionic abyss]

next you will tell me i shouldnt use a vpn to bypass geolocked content on nexflix and other platforms

[prime solstice]

Netflix already is blocking them

[sharp cradle]

thats a diffrent thing, you pay for netflix, you should have the full catalog, youtube you aren't paying for

[prime solstice]

Like Disney + won’t load and Netflix will kick you off and say you’re in a different location

[ionic abyss]

my vpn still works

and i will pirate shows if i cant watch

[sharp cradle]

youtube blocking ad blockers is annoying, but i don't get how anyone can think they are in the right for using an ad blocker

[prime solstice]

I mean it will suck but I will suck it up and buy premium if I really need to block ads

[ionic abyss]

ad blockers exsist for a reason

[sharp cradle]

because ads and tracking are annoying

that doesn't mean a company can't try and stop you from using them

[prime solstice]

Yeah if you really want to block ads then buy premium on YouTube quit ya whining and do that

[sharp cradle]

other websites have been doing it for years

[ionic abyss]

some adblocking i cant turn off

[prime solstice]

Most sites also say they need you to turn off your ad blocker

[sharp cradle]

why?

[ionic abyss]

my router device has built in ad blocking

[sharp cradle]

you can change that in your router settings

or setup whitelists

[polar fern]

i would say that using ad blocker on ad supported platforms is theft, but -shrug-

[ionic abyss]

so your saying if youtube wants they can insist i change my router settings to please them?

[sharp cradle]

yes

they owe you nothing, you aren't giving them anything

youtube controls their platform, they could ban you for using an adblocker and they would be within their right to do so

[prime solstice]

if Homer broke into my store I’d just give him the beer and donuts

[ionic abyss]

8 ads this 20minute video!!!

[polar fern]

door looks open

[sharp cradle]

yes its ridiclous and annoying, but if you don't like it pay for premium lol

[pure olive]

YouTube vanced :3

[ionic abyss]

i will rember irish when we get 20 ads in a 20minute video!

[vapid cypress]

He has the beer dispenser in his hand

[prime solstice]

So idc

[sharp cradle]

be my guest, i wont be seeing them

[ionic abyss]

premium members are why youtube is doing this mess

[polar fern]

i honestly dont care about ads, unless they're like misinformation etc, then i report them and block the advertiser

[prime solstice]

Why don’t you just shut up and stop ya whining it’s good for the creators

[sharp cradle]

youre actually insanse if you think that youtube is in the wrong for stopping you from blocking ads. yes youtube is insane for adding so many ads, but you aren't giving them platform anything by blocking ads, so they don't owe you anything

[polar fern]

i remember when youtube had no ads back in the day, aside from the regular ones on the page itself

[prime solstice]

Twitch has ads and ad blockers don’t work on there

[pure olive]

I remember when there was 1-2 5 second preroll ads and that was it

[polar fern]

but hey were also dumping money into the hole that is video hosting, so they started with putting ads in the videos

[vapid cypress]

Holy crap its mordecai, he is real!

[full fossil]

pan (spanish)

[sharp cradle]

that was nice, ads have been getting out of hand recently

[pure olive]

I got 8 ads in a 3 min vid

[sharp cradle]

thats wild

[ionic abyss]

ads are not ok they died once

[left viper]

The land is a place of paradoxes and contradictions, where truth and falsehood are intertwined. The oracles speak in riddles and their prophecies are never straightforward, forcing those who seek their knowledge to delve deep into the unknown.

[polar fern]

i dont need to pay for youtube premium

[spice pine]

youtube premium my beloved :3

[polar fern]

i dont care about ads, my brain blocks them out

[vapid cypress]

But I don't have a soul...

[prime solstice]

Yk what I’m gonna make a 10 minute un shippable ad show up in my 1 hour videos

[polar fern]

plus like i dont want google having my payment info

[sharp cradle]

https://privacy.com <3

[ionic abyss]

12 ads in the 20min video i watched

[polar fern]

not allowed ot use those, or paypal, we been over this like 400 times

[sharp cradle]

cool, pay for premium if you don't want ads 🤷‍♂️

[ionic abyss]

so what we get under 2min of contenet per ad?

[prime solstice]

Ok I’ve seen 15 ads in a 5 second video.

[sharp cradle]

for youtube? yes you can lol

[calm swan]

like a pihole or sumn?

[polar fern]

15 ads? im gonna say thats a lie

[prime solstice]

Shh I’m trying to confuse them

[ionic abyss]

ads in the video and after it!

[polar fern]

ok but lying isnt cool

[ionic abyss]

the video is done youtube!

[prime solstice]

I Sowwy

[polar fern]

bbl gonna watch some ad-filled youtube ❤️

[prime solstice]

Yk im gonna go do that aswell

[restive lion]

meanwhile everyone else: *updates ublock origin to make the anti-adblocker go away*

[prime solstice]

Use the brave browser

[sharp cradle]

ublock origin❣️

[restive lion]

semi related but this is funny to me

[ionic abyss]

just like software pirates will always win long term

[full fossil]

they're not even trying hard huh

[ionic abyss]

ad blockers will win long term

[sharp cradle]

they will, but don't be mad at youtube for trying to block them lol

[sharp cradle]

google is rude

embrace firefox

[ionic abyss]

i use firefox

[sharp cradle]

cool

[full fossil]

i used opera before i still dont regret switching to firefox

its awesome

[ionic abyss]

opera is good also

[full fossil]

vivaldi was also interesting

[restive lion]

opera is a shitty company

[sharp cradle]

im not a fan of opera

[ionic abyss]

i rember when opera was paid

[full fossil]

it was?

[sharp cradle]

one of the better non google chromium browsers on linux

[full fossil]

isn't vivaldi chromiun based

[vapid cypress]

The pizza has arrived

[full fossil]

oh didn't read correctly my bad

[sharp cradle]

yea, i meant like not chrome, but chormium based for linux

it was a confusing statment on my part

[ionic abyss]

if its 1 or 2 ads at the start of a vid i wouldnt care

[sharp cradle]

edge is just okay on linux, vivaldi is better than chrome imo

it feels like if firefox was chromium based

[ionic abyss]

youtube sucks

[sharp cradle]

i used to use it for gforce now

[sharp cradle]

pretty much true lol, but you can't get upset for them trying to block people who don't support their platform

[full fossil]

i use just youtube on my phone anyway so i dont really mind

[ionic abyss]

on the phone is onething

on a desktop not ok

[sharp cradle]

why not. they don't owe you anything. they are a private company that can do whatever they want

[restive lion]

the FTC/EU would like to know your location

[sharp cradle]

lol

fair, they can't do whatever they want, but they can when it comes to blocking and banning users for using adblock

[restive lion]

theres nothing to stop either side, so basically this page is a whole lotta nothing because you know for sure that adblockers will win at the end of the day

Basically it's just this

[sharp cradle]

this is true

[vapid cypress]

Because video hosting is expensive in the end

[restive lion]

pissing off your userbase with how agressive your ads are is also expensive (mistake)

[ionic abyss]

youtube can offer better options than tons of ads

[sharp cradle]

like what

[ionic abyss]

lower video quality on free users for example

[restive lion]

recently we've moved into "b2b 15 second unskippables midroll"

[vapid cypress]

That's a worse option

[ionic abyss]

not in reality

[vapid cypress]

I'd rather have ads than 480p quality

[sharp cradle]

that is so much worse than 5 ads lol

[full fossil]

yea i can see why

[ionic abyss]

in truth 1-2 ads at the start and lower resolution playback say 480 or 720 is better tnan 10-13 ads per video

[full fossil]

if the ads at least weren't awful i wouldn't mind

[sharp cradle]

i still haven't seen anything over 4 ads

[restive lion]

louis rossmann said on his AMA that he'd make more money from an individual donating a dollar than that same individual watching all ads on his videos over the years

[full fossil]

max i saw were 3

[restive lion]

ive gotten about 6 sets of ads on a 20 minute video

i wish i were exaggerating

[vapid cypress]

That would impact more the user experience than freaking ads

[sharp cradle]

i do remember when the entire lego movie and was an unskippable ad lol

[vapid cypress]

More intrusive

[full fossil]

wait what

[restive lion]

i believe you're confusing unskippable with sitting in a theatre to watch the ad

[ionic abyss]

my recomendation is reasonable and it would bring more reason to consider premium

[sharp cradle]

it was a promo for the lego movie 2, you could watch the entire lego movie as an ad on youtube videos lol, it was meant to be skippable, but it wasn't at first by mistake

[vapid cypress]

It isn't, if it was youtube would be already doing it

[full fossil]

how does this look? Going Ubuntu on it most probably so got rid of the windows license

can you stop sending me american links?

[full fossil]

I don't want a larger screen

I actually wanted a 13" display but they seem more expensive

[lilac bear]

just use the S23 Ultra

[ionic abyss]

i forget how limited selection of product is outside the usa

[full fossil]

i forgot there's other continents besides USA wtf

[tired glade]

Oh, still no LTT video

[neon mesa]

secret shopper next vid?

because it's taking quite a while

[tired glade]

Interesting are they doing Threadripper or 14gen

[full fossil]

My game feels so much smooth when i overclock

[tired glade]

Yea

[safe ember]

We reckon there’ll be an LTT video about the elgato prompter? I know they’ve been complaining about shitty prompter android apps for AGES

[calm swan]

dont use ubuntu

[dusky jacinth]

Or at least don't go with vanilla Ubuntu.

[full fossil]

Why? Ubuntu unity is my go to

[calm swan]

bleh i just hate ubuntu

spyware and data concerns

id rather use linux mint (based on ubuntu) or some arch distro like endeavour

[full fossil]

Ah, I don't care about that, if I did I wouldn't use andriod, or google, or windows... or... well any modern tech or network

[tired glade]

There is big hate wave against Ubuntu lately

Even bigger then against Arch

[harsh quartz]

Just use windows

[tired glade]

No, windows is worse option

[full fossil]

I do use windows

[calm swan]

windows for like online games, solidworks, and adobe

[fossil frost]

because they are popular, and people like to hate things that are popular

[calm swan]

ubuntu has ALWAYS been popular

[echo canopy]

Ubuntu has outdated package, uses snaps that breaks security features in Firefox (so does flatpak) and unlike flatpak adds significant overhead especially at first start because it does not actually fucking install a app till you run it.

Ubuntu is serviceable but better exists

[tired glade]

It still Linux

[calm swan]

i like endeavouros and linux mint personally

[fossil frost]

that doesnt matter to stupid sheep like people who only think the way they are told to think instead of just using whatever tool happens to be best for the particular job

[fallow echo]

I think it's more aimed at canonical rather than Ubuntu itself tbh

[echo canopy]

There are actual massive issues with Ubuntu tho. I do admit it is popular to hate on it because it’s so common but dear god fucking snaps

[calm swan]

i havent used ubuntu in a while lol

[fossil frost]

snap doesnt come from ubuntu does it? its its own thing, and ubuntu adopted it in the same way that a lot of other distros have

[echo canopy]

Most I’ve seen or at least that people are using is flatpak which does not have the overhead/first start install time that snap does.

Ubuntu straight up does not offer packages in their apt repos for some applications now and exclusively use snaps. Distros like fedora that use flatpak also not snap and has non flatpak options

[calm swan]

snap is owned by canonical

[echo canopy]

That I didn’t know lmao

[fossil frost]

i was thinking of flatpak

[full fossil]

I use flatpak anyway on my Ubuntu machine right now

[echo canopy]

Good

[calm swan]

i used snap on endeavour 💀

so much fun to setup

[echo canopy]

> arch
> not using aur

[calm swan]

meh i dont fw linux anymore, i kinda want to reset my pi3 and put some linux on it

[echo canopy]

Why do you have to use it?

[fossil frost]

never had any issue with apt packages not existing where the snap one does... tbh, i just completely disabled snap on ubuntu when i was using it, i dont like it for... implementation reasons... it feels badly made and packages feel badly packed...

[full fossil]

I personally enjoy Linux, but I enjoy tinkering

[fossil frost]

i installed ubuntu on a toaster, and that ran at 100% cpu too

[calm swan]

i have ubuntu on some pentium 4 tower in my house lol

[full fossil]

Hahaha nice

[echo canopy]

The only thing that won’t max out a Celeron is a terminal arch install

[full fossil]

I'm trying to decide what to do with my Pentium D system atm

[pliant karma]

ayy same on the side. I have it like a side project

[full fossil]

Exactly

[dusky jacinth]

I enjoyed Linux too, at best when I was using Solus or Pop.

[pliant karma]

ironically I have one Hp Elitebook 840 G3 that has many partitions forgot I had it until I was inventory sorting recently

[echo canopy]

Why do people like pop os? The biggest thing I’ve seen about it is nvidia drivers and that’s easy to do

[dusky jacinth]

I'm waiting till I have a second system worth putting it on.

Which is ironic, considering they maintain their own distro too. Lol.

[echo canopy]

Nvidia compute is fine it’s Wayland and drm content

[calm swan]

oh pop has good nvidia drivers?

[echo canopy]

You can use secure boot with Linux but secure boot itself is practically useless

Placebo at best for most consumers

[dusky jacinth]

From what I know, they just use Nvidia's propriety blob.

[calm swan]

interesting

[dusky jacinth]

Same with Solus too from what I know.

[echo canopy]

Like literally everyone else. They just keep it up to date

Well…. Unless you’re a pos FOSS distro that defaults to the OpenGL only x11 nvidia driver that performs like shit on everything except a 750ti

cough fedora and Debian

[full fossil]

The blob is a Nvidia induced necessary evil on Linux these days

[prime solstice]

yeah im trying to install nvidia drivers on endevouros and manjaro and they dont work

[dusky jacinth]

Fragmentation, man. Hard to run from, hard to walk without, unless you wanna suck up to Apple and/or Microsoft.

[echo canopy]

Fun fact, mesa still uses the proprietary gpu firmware from both intel and AMD. So it’s literally required for all gpus and in some cases on specific configurations you also need a byte code update for your cpu that surprise surprise not FOSS

The issue with nvidia driver is we can’t fix them if there is an issue. We can at least with intel and AMD

I wish distros didn’t make nvidia drivers a fucking nightmare due to refusal to update packages for asinine “stability” reasons like Debian or due to not being foss which literally no gpu driver is

It’s not even nvidia at this point most of the issues are just maintainers

I killed chat

[graceful burrow]

I just ain't readin allat

[gilded forge]

google is rural-shaming me

[tender geyser]

wat

[stoic scarab]

newest LTT video

[neon mesa]

i was expecting secret shopper

[stoic scarab]

still not a secret shopper episode 😦

[neon mesa]

4 days gap and it's just a steam deck

[stoic scarab]

I wonder if something went wrong internally with them? because usually episode 2 gets released mere days after episode one

[neon mesa]

you must have missed the last drama

[stoic scarab]

and they said in the WAN show before the first episode that they already wrapped up recording

[stoic scarab]

which one?

[neon mesa]

the one with billet labs

information inaccuracy really bad it hits the nail in the coffin

gamer's nexus calls linus out

hell breaks loose

[stoic scarab]

No I was there, however this was long resolved by the time they dropped the episode

[neon mesa]

well that drama caused significant slowdown in uploads

[stoic scarab]

well "resolved"

[neon mesa]

which is for quality assurance

[stoic scarab]

well I know that, but usually secret shopper videos aren't that far in between

[neon mesa]

it's like a week under the old schedule

expect 3x that so maybe next week

[stoic scarab]

If we look at season 2, Episode 2 was released 3 days after episode 1

or 4 days, so for a daily schedule 4 videos

there are currently 6 videos in between

Okay Secret shopper 2 episode 1 was released on Nov 8th 2020
episode 2 came on the 12th, so 4 days

[graceful burrow]

Almost like, as previously mentioned, the timeline for videos coming out has slowed down

[visual wing]

Ya it’s almost like that isn’t it

[graceful burrow]

Yeah you rite they just like making fanboys sweat waiting for a new video

Ngreedia is king for that afaik

[neon mesa]

(i said "well" because it does support AMD, but it's finicky and requires linux which is... Bruh)

My own personal experience with 6600XT as well

Really, people need to stop shoving AMD's software issue under the rug

That's the only way to get AMD to fix it faster

I honestly dont understand the complaints about AMD drivers. On windows ive never had issues with them ever. On linux theyre along side intel the gold standard of the industry

[dreamy rose]

everyone is already very vocal about AMDs issues and most people are so vocal they don't even buy.

[fossil frost]

thing is, AMD has a single software issue show up in a recent driver release.... internet explodes... nvidia have several, nobody cares... all because of AMDs storied history with software bugs which has now mostly gone away... some people cant seem to figure out that things are able to get better, and remain deeply bitter about the past

[echo canopy]

facts

[icy rock]

i am rocking with my intel uhd 620 with drivers from 2020

[dreamy rose]

exactly. the name associated with an issue makes it a "Told you so" for nvidia lovers and general AMD haters (same thing basically) to throw at Radeon owners. then they will get pissy when you mention any Nvidia issue

[echo canopy]

Linus and luke pretty much say its probably because hes using a PCIE riser

so, not a AMD issue and just a hardware config issue

[dreamy rose]

and they just used DDU on their installs and not everything played nicely with Radeons

[echo canopy]

imagine using a os shitty enough to require a third party tool to remove drivers cant relate

[fossil frost]

imagine using an OS where ALL tools are 3rd party tools...

[dreamy rose]

6% of the market is the same

[echo canopy]

Bro let me just have the W

[urban thistle]

Everyone buy $80 worth of stock in Intel DO IT

[echo canopy]

No, I dont think i will

[dreamy rose]

nobody is falling for that shit fool

[median idol]

I don't do stocks so nah

[urban thistle]

Falling for what?

[echo canopy]

same video "amds less mature encoder". the media encoder shouldn't cause the issues luke mentioned as its a separate battle proven asic on the gpu.

[polar fern]

👀 https://youtu.be/A9D6_PkzSBw?

[urban thistle]

I’m being serious

[dreamy rose]

loosing money on Intel stocks.

[urban thistle]

Then wait a month then get stocks

[dreamy rose]

its a right fuckin joke you think anyone would fall for that after the lauch of 14th gen

[urban thistle]

It seems like Intel releases have been like that though it’s like windows

[echo canopy]

why is it 360p

[urban thistle]

One generation is a tiny upgrade, and the next is insane

Or Bryce stocks and AMD

[echo canopy]

this pains me

[urban thistle]

Although their at $100 right now

[dreamy rose]

how can you be sure 15th gen isn't a flop?

how can you be sure Zen 6 doesn't hand it its ass.

what abourt Zen6c? they put Ecores to shame

[urban thistle]

You can’t but you can hope

If you’re so confident about Intel, feeling invest in AMD

[dreamy rose]

investing in AMD would be actual advice

[echo canopy]

do you mean zen5?

[urban thistle]

Hell do I hedge fund on Intel if you’re so confident

[urban thistle]

But AMD’s prices are at $100 intel is at 35

[dreamy rose]

no. zen5 is to compete with 14th gen and 15th but zen6 is going to be around the corner by then so Intel are screwed if this shit isn't the perfect storm.

[urban thistle]

And if more people buy into the stocks, the stocks go higher as they are more valuable we could really pull a GameStop right now

[dreamy rose]

should have pulled it on Nvidia when you got the chance.

[echo canopy]

both 15th gen and zen 5 are on track to be released sometime in 2024. 16th gen would probably be against zen6.

[urban thistle]

Was not old enough to

[dreamy rose]

wouldn't count on it being that way.

[dreamy rose]

like that wall street place def could of cut them down to size with a panic around 2020 or so.

it would of absolutely kicked Nvidia's ass into high gear into not being a piece of shit like they did with Ada.

[urban thistle]

Think about how many people in Wall Street are betting on Intel failure they would lose so much money

[low rain]

One of my friends always tells me to buy games so I can play w him but instead of just saying no I say I’m too broke and now he actually thinks I have no money 😭😭😭

[ionic abyss]

stupid neverstart barrery in truck seems dead

oops everstart

charger showed 2 of 5bars

[dreamy rose]

i wouldn't think intel would go defunct.

[urban thistle]

Intel is the only one that is going up right now

[dreamy rose]

they do have a catch 22 with the x86 licence

[dusky jacinth]

AMD, Intel, and Nvidia.

[dreamy rose]

AMD

for both

[harsh quartz]

Common truck L

[urban thistle]

Wall Street only really goes on press now they don’t do enough research into the companies when they invest they’re basically going blind only going on what the people say about the products of that year

I can guarantee you 15th generation is gonna be pretty good

And their server CPU should make a come back

[median idol]

Mostly for me:
CPU: AMD
GPU: Nvidia

[harsh quartz]

Or Amd gpu

[dusky jacinth]

I basically just use whatever works at the time of consideration.

So if AMD has the better cpus and Nvidia has the better gpus, then that's the config.
Intel has the better cpus and AMD has the better gpus, then that's the config.

[echo canopy]

The only thing intel has going for them in the server space is trying to integrate the gpu into their cpus for ML applications and some other random asics.

[dusky jacinth]

And with all three types of gpus, if they work where I want to put them, then I get whichever fits appropriately in budget, performance, and so on and that's how I go about it.

[dreamy rose]

wouldn't count on it mate. C cores have Hyperhreading and Ecores don't

[dusky jacinth]

P* Cores

[echo canopy]

Hyperthreading does not matter nearly as much as you make it out to be.

[dreamy rose]

and given that we could see up to like 256c cores on a Server CPU, yeah thats a big deal

[dusky jacinth]

They better be competitive then because AMD's already poised to do the same, and their design is highly configurable.

[dreamy rose]

no. i'm not talking big cores. i'm talking C cores

[echo canopy]

whats amd doing to do that?

[dusky jacinth]

. . . . .
You lost me there.

[echo canopy]

c cores is just a more silicon efficent versions of the base zen4 cores with lower clocks.

[dusky jacinth]

A massive APU design aimed for the server and data center market.

[dreamy rose]

Chiplets and CDNA for APUs

[dusky jacinth]

Ooohhh, those.

[shrewd surge]

[opal thunder]

[dreamy rose]

yeah, they monsterous. dwarfing Ecores.

[echo canopy]

CDNA my bevloved. oh what AMD has done to hold onto GCN

[median idol]

Amazon
Yeah checks out

[echo canopy]

you know they sell blocks you can use to magnetize anything ferrous magnetic

make fucking anything magnetic, and sometimes you dont want a magnetic screw head

[dreamy rose]

a fucking what?

[echo canopy]

screw head

[dreamy rose]

a demagnetizor?

[echo canopy]

oh you mean the thing i sent a photo of

[dreamy rose]

yesd

a Demagnatisor.

[graceful burrow]

You've never seen one of those before?

[dreamy rose]

nope

[echo canopy]

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

[graceful burrow]

Lurk more lok

[dreamy rose]

lurk more? yeah nah not lurking here. i'm lurking on buy buttons for PC parts right now

[echo canopy]

buttons for PC parts what the fuck?

MF gonna add a nuclear launch button to power on his pc?

[graceful burrow]

You could

It'd be exceedingly easy actually kek

[urban thistle]

True but Intel was still a strong company

[dreamy rose]

IBM put those on their PCs.

its a switch but it may as well fit in to a launch site

and buy buttons as in Buying the PC parts yea

[echo canopy]

yeah but theyre being boomers by still using ring bus and are refusing to actually make better core designs. Part of their driving force before was also their own fabs which are currently behind competitors

[dreamy rose]

they are making new architectures for their ecores and wasting time instead of just making a smaller version like AMD does it. the RIGHT way

[echo canopy]

AMD is doing it a different way not a right way. Im sure intel can squeeze more compute per mm of silicon with a core design specifically for their e cores

[shrewd surge]

My system has an AMD CPU & an Intel GPU, still sound funny to say

[dreamy rose]

you'll get weirdness doing it the way intel does. but with AMDs way theres very little actually different in such a smaller design it basically makes no difference wich cores you use.

[echo canopy]

I think GPUs are a self evident proof of that concept. Its just if developers can make proper use of it

[dreamy rose]

because it is. thats something you could only say in the late 90s with the i740. but Arc is here.

[echo canopy]

MF there is still a effective difference between the cores. the c cores physically cant be as fast as normal zen4 cores.

I guess you could say that you wouldn't have to optimize specific instructions for zen4c cores but most developers dont care about uarch specific optimizations or are not even smart enough to do it

intel is just doing a more extreme version of big.little, that is all

[dreamy rose]

plans are to just switch main thread to the highest clocking core

since thats never gonna land on a C core yes it'll be slower always but it really doesn't matter that much

[echo canopy]

define a "main thread"

the kernel itself? what do you mean

and yet again by that logic what is stoping you from doing the same on a intel big.little cpu? the uarch they use does not fucking matter

[dreamy rose]

the main thread a game or workload is using, doesn't get any simpler than that

[echo canopy]

you mean the thread saturating the cpu the most?

[ionic abyss]

i guess depening on a neverstart brand battery isnt a good idea

[echo canopy]

do you mean everstart?

[dreamy rose]

thread hammering the CPU the most moving to the highest clocking cores yes.

[echo canopy]

yeah we can do that on intel big.little and already do

I dont get how zen4c cores magically wave away the issues of scheduling threads

[dusky jacinth]

Intel will later go a different direction though by dropping ht for rentable units, which I think has some implications for a more performant and efficient arch overall later on as they're dropping the "band-aid" altogether from what it sounds like.

[dusky jacinth]

They don't. Lol.

[echo canopy]

exactly

I dont know what the fuck Bionic is on about

[dusky jacinth]

They just make for more size efficient cores.

It's all they really solve too.

[echo canopy]

thermally efficient cores? tf does that mean?

[dreamy rose]

and its a lot better than making your own Ecore specific architecture

[dusky jacinth]

Brain fart detail. Don't worry about it.

[echo canopy]

whats your proof, evidence? youre just a shitposter on discord.

[dusky jacinth]

Anyway, yeah, C cores are just made for packing more into a ccd while chewing about the same wattage or just slightly more than standard core ccds.

[dreamy rose]

it doesn't take Einstein to figure this one out. shrinking the core and cache on your main architecture is what it is. it allows more cores a CCD and the same power draw.

they are confident in fitting 32 in a single CCD

[echo canopy]

they will probably use less wattage per effective comptue due to not being able to run at as high of a core clock

due to being packed tighter your thermal hotspots will be more dramatic resulting in transistors "failing" at lower voltages/overall temp

[dusky jacinth]

Exactly. The denser they are, the more mindful you'd have to be about their thermals and other drawbacks when packing that tight.

[echo canopy]

okay but you could just use a different uarch thats even smaller and just have a fuck ton more and have more raw compute at your disposal.

Gpus takes this concept to the extreme and are able to do magnitudes more work per silicon mm and watt

[dusky jacinth]

It's a very workable idea in principle though.

[dreamy rose]

they are throwing these 32 core CCDs into Server so i don't see thermals being a masssive issue.

[dusky jacinth]

True. Also co-processors of yore.

[dreamy rose]

32 cores on a consumer CPU is just Ridiculous.

[echo canopy]

they are actually and have to drop clocks significantly to counteract it

[dusky jacinth]

And even tensor-based compute architectures.

[dusky jacinth]

Well yeah, which is why we're not getting those. Lol.

[echo canopy]

it isnt Ridiculous if we actually had software that scaled that well.... which its getting there

[dusky jacinth]

24 is pushing it, though at the same time it's still doable.

[echo canopy]

id love to have 32 cores. my 8 feels so limiting sometimes

[dreamy rose]

you think 8 is small? try 2.

[graceful burrow]

I wouldn't use a computer with 2

[echo canopy]

me either

[echo canopy]

its kinda pog that intel is brining them back on cpu

[dreamy rose]

then you'd hate to be in my shoes.

[dusky jacinth]

Of course, but on our level with the kind of workloads we rely on, even mixed loads and the kinds of programs made to consumer platforms, it kinda also doesn't make sense to scale that far either where it doesn't matter.
And that's actually most programs, the total majority, which don't care too much about core counts unless you're setting them manually or multitasking a flip ton.

[echo canopy]

MF got a pc straight out of 2007

[dusky jacinth]

And I know someone who has and seemingly had fun doing it too. Lol.

[dreamy rose]

2nd gen i5s are very fun.

[graceful burrow]

2 core isn't the only reason I'd hate that

[median idol]

I made the jump from a Core 2 Duo to a 5950X. Though then again this was after like several years of a hiatus of having PCs

[echo canopy]

fucking sandy bridge? shit does not even have AVX2

[dreamy rose]

no shit. there's 1GB of DDR3 vram to deal with

[graceful burrow]

Forget it, it flew right over your head lol

[dusky jacinth]

I went from an i3-380m to an R5 3600. Upgrading to 6 cores alone feels like a huge leap.

the deleting content part is the most interesting
like does the video need to receive a certain amount of views in a time frame before getting deleted
would premium users not have deleted videos
would they make the video quality lower to save traffic and space instead

[sudden bough]

I’m surprised they haven’t deleted old videos

[full fossil]

IF it were me, I would delete content after x number of months without a view

[lilac bear]

all while considering a lot of YouTube's space is personal storage use

what if the video had over a million views?

i got 4 unskipable adds

[ionic abyss]

and why serve me ads for ad blockers wich you dont allow

[sudden bough]

Because ad block companies are paying them

I wonder how ad block companies make money

[warm mesa]

off your data

(this is a joke i have no idea how they make money)

[sudden bough]

Prolly true and they sell it to ad companies

[vapid smelt]

https://www.btod.com/blog/best-office-chair-reviews/ btod reviewed the Branch Task ($280 usd) and says its good for taller users

[ionic abyss]

truth is your data is out there no matter what you do

[warm mesa]

thx 👍

[sudden bough]

Que xfiles music

Fun fact I haven’t got that pop-up after I cleared my cache

[jaunty compass]

scalper james is so hateable in Pc or no Pc he did a great job

[hallow harness]

how do you block the adblocker blocker

rn i'm just using two tampermonkey scripts but i don't know if theres a better alternative

[spice pine]

with an adblocker blocker blocker

[sudden bough]

Just use ad blocker

U block origin works

[spice pine]

I know of a fantastic youtube adblock blocker, it is paid tho

[vapid smelt]

just use tiktock over youtube

[sudden bough]

Is it YouTube premium?

[sudden bough]

Noooo

[jaunty compass]

youtube premium more like

bad

[spice pine]

it’s called YouTube Premium! It’s a little expensive but it’s absolutely worth it

[sudden bough]

It’s not though:/

[gilded quest]

You're trolling

[jaunty compass]

i'd rather just use revanced on my phone and get more features and use an adblocker on my pc ngl

[vapid smelt]

[vapid smelt]

yikes paying google/youtube for premuim

[spice pine]

ahh yikes, paying for services you use!

[full fossil]

Yeah... it was always going to happen eventually. Gotta make profit, as much as we hate it

[gilded quest]

Since YouTube red was introduced

I also use(d) GPM/YTM

[hallow harness]

yubtub preemiummmmm

i'm broke though

[gilded quest]

I'm not and I use the heck out of my subscription

[vapid smelt]

paying for a free services

[spice pine]

If something is free…

[vapid smelt]

all youtube videos are free to watch and enjoy

[spice pine]

And you’re the product. That’s the trade off, they will push ads at you

[vapid smelt]

me with adblocker

[spice pine]

and by doing that, you encourage google and youtube to fight adblock more

I wouldn’t be shocked to see a “Google Premium” at some point in my life

[vapid smelt]

maybe if they didn't have a ad every 2 minutes

[full fossil]

It would be an interesting extension of google one

[vapid smelt]

baked in creator ads+ youtube ads

[spice pine]

… You do realize the reason this happened is because of the growth of adblock?

[summer nova]

Bruh the one rx580 I just fixed will pay for the entire lot of 6 I bought

Stonks

[lilac bear]

ublock but you just clear cache and refresh lists
so far no issues after doing it once

[gilded quest]

It's not a public service. Google could shut YouTube down tomorrow if they want

YouTube is expensive AF to run
It's kind of amazing they've kept it free, and fully featured, all these years

[vapid smelt]

i give them my information and they sell it its a very fair trade

[summer nova]

Google just keeps it free because of cross site tracking and ads

[gilded quest]

That fine and all but now that free money is over the trade-off for diminished and revenue is gonna be them finding more ways to show down ad block or start paywalling features

I don't trust Google to let something just be anymore

[lilac bear]

"start paywalling" LMFAO

they have already started

[gilded quest]

Not in the real world

I mean first world

[full fossil]

If I were google I would just make it so YouTube with ads costs one dollar a month, without like 5 dollars and with music like 15 dollars a month

[spice pine]

revenue ≠ profit

[full fossil]

Think how much you can make from multi-billion userbase at just a dollar a month

[lilac bear]

clearly never use the mobile app

[gilded quest]

I've not used it without premium for like 6 years

[summer nova]

Just have YouTube crowd funded like Wikipedia 💀

[gilded quest]

I use the mobile app quite a bit

[lilac bear]

so you think playing in the background isn't a "paid feature"

[hallow harness]

it's diffrent

[gilded quest]

Huge asterisk on that

They introduced it as a paid feature

[hallow harness]

hosting video is much more resource-intensive than hosting a webpage

[gilded quest]

It was never free on Android

So they didn't remove anything

Although it's really still premium gated???

[summer nova]

The joke flew right over your head

[gilded quest]

Damn

[hallow harness]

i guess i'm a dumbass

[lilac bear]

[spice pine]

It didn’t really read as a joke tbh

[summer nova]

The skull emoji made it read as a joke

[spice pine]

Dunno how that correlates to a joke tbh

[vapid smelt]

2019 but its still made plenty

[gilded quest]

Woah

Google search subsidizes YouTube?!

Guys we just cracked it

🤯

Kek
Netflix is raising prices again

[dreamy rose]

wow more reason to not buy a service i wont use!

[spice pine]

Google as a whole made a profit

So glad I don’t pay for Netflix and it’s included w/ my phone plan

[gilded quest]

Bruh my parents bought an "additional household" or whatever Netflix calls it for me. I told them not to since I don't watch Netflix but they did it anyways. I'm so disappointed

At least my gf can watch her kdramas on it

[dreamy rose]

well someones using it i guess

[graceful burrow]

So glad I just fucking take what I want to watch fuck that fee lmao

[hallow harness]

my friend was so mad when sony hiked ps+ pricing

like imagine paying to play online

[prime solstice]

microsoft

[dreamy rose]

i mean its Sony. why would you be mad about that, they are just like apple they can do whatever they want and have everyone be fine with it.

[gilded quest]

I can't even find anything I want to watch on Netflix

It's like a graveyard these days

[graceful burrow]

That too kek

[prime solstice]

honestly the only show i watch on netflix is pokemon indigo league until i finished paradise pd

[hallow harness]

you get the cheap game machine up-front, pay the remainder for the rest of the product's lifetime

[gilded quest]

If they're gonna pay for it I may as well use it but I really need to convince them to drop Netflix entirely

1080p non HDR in 2023 is pain

[gilded quest]

I think last thing I watched was drive to survive in 2022

[spice pine]

Paradise PD? 🤢

[dreamy rose]

its not even a cheap gaming machine

[summer nova]

Me having Netflix, prime video, and Disney plus

Also had crave at one time

[spice pine]

cheaper than an equivalent gaming PC right now

[summer nova]

And watched all good shows on Netflix and Disney already 💀

[hallow harness]

500 for that thing is pr good

[summer nova]

Now I spend 20 minutes looking for shows

[prime solstice]

i was bored and wanted to watch something so i binged the whole series in one sitting

[gilded quest]

If I was to pay for one, it's Disney+

[dreamy rose]

they made it like 800 dollars.

[spice pine]

Hope you get better soon

[summer nova]

It’s good. Until like I said, you run outta shows

[calm swan]

i use uYou+ on my iphone and ublock on both my laptops

[prime solstice]

that wont happen my brain is broken

[calm swan]

the bundle is a good deal

[gilded quest]

I have access to Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+

I pay for floatplane and youtube premium

Comcast just gives me peacock premium

[gilded quest]

Not if you don't watch sports

[summer nova]

I hardly watch YouTube actually

[calm swan]

cricket wc and f1 ocassionally

[gilded quest]

YouTube is most of what I watch

[summer nova]

My mindset is “don’t watch others do, do it yourself”

[calm swan]

i get hbo max and peacock for free

[vapid smelt]

estimated 38% profit

[dreamy rose]

well hey. i'm sruggling to RUN 1080P on anything.

[full fossil]

I have prime for shipping, but also do watch, netflix, disney plus and floatplane

but me and my mum split the costs

[gilded quest]

Your computers can't decode 1080p video?

[spice pine]

Estimates don’t mean anything lmao

[calm swan]

probably poor interent

[summer nova]

I’m bored. Anyone want to sell me some parts GPUs?

[dreamy rose]

38% is plenty. theres no fucking need to kill off adblock

[vapid smelt]

i cant find any hard numbers

[gilded quest]

probably poor internet
ftfy

[summer nova]

I’m up at 11:00 at night working on GPUs

[graceful burrow]

Not here

[spice pine]

If it weren’t against the rules

[summer nova]

That’s just great

[summer nova]

You could just dm me lol

[vapid smelt]

[graceful burrow]

That makes what you asked advertising

[spice pine]

Yup, they’re not gonna post the profits. Better for them to keep them under wraps

[graceful burrow]

Which is also against the rules lmao

[summer nova]

Advertising is trying to sell something lol

[spice pine]

my only spare gpu is a 750ti anyways lmao

[graceful burrow]

No? Wtf?

[full fossil]

they stopped posting numbers cause of the losses it brought

[dreamy rose]

games cant really do 1080p. video never gets to 1080p because its dropping frames like hell and shit i never go over 720p

[graceful burrow]

You can absolutely advertise to buy things lmao

[gilded quest]

Wtf
