helps when iPhone is more expensive base price

Galaxy A14 is only 200 USD

granted it not comparable to S23

[vapid smelt]

Technically $459 if you count the iPad with cellular

[vapid smelt]

But for how long does the a14 get software updates

[topaz crag]

Have a friend that has that I believe if ur on a budget get that of a 7a

[desert ivy]

Yeah, the A54 is the price of an iPhone SE and and waaay way way better. The new A series AFAIK is supposed to get 4 OS upgrades. So Android 17 and 5 years of security upates. They are slowly getting better.

[topaz crag]

2 major os updates and 4 years of security

[lilac bear]

two

[topaz crag]

Oh…

[lilac bear]

it's 4 years security

[topaz crag]

Years?

[lilac bear]

yea

[topaz crag]

What I said…

[desert ivy]

I'm talking about the 450 dollar a54 and the a34 too.

[lilac bear]

A14 is 2 upgrade and 4 security
A34 and A54 are 4 upgrade and 5 security

which isn't that bad

[vapid smelt]

Apple supports phones for 7 years

[desert ivy]

I don't know why the iPhone screens bothers me. I kinda want it to be 1440p and it isn't. And the form factor bothers me too. I just want to watch YouTube on it. So the Pixel Pro 7 seemed the best option for me.

ah and take photos

[full fossil]

it isn't?

the new one?

[vapid smelt]

My mom was using an iPhone 8 till a few days ago the LCD screen looked horrible compared to OLED phones

[lilac bear]

must like the Xperia 1 series if you can tell the difference between 1440p and 1290p

[desert ivy]

lol I can't obviously haha. it bothering me is on me.

[vapid smelt]

Should've went with Sony 4k display phone

[lilac bear]

it's 4K trimmed vertically down to 1644p
which works in benefit to the phone since driving 4K is a battery drain

still best DPI for a supported phone

[desert ivy]

I wanted too. But I can't justify paying 2 times what i Paid for a Pixel 7 pro.

I'm actually looking for a 4k Oled tablet. But they don't make those displays.

[vapid smelt]

You get 2 times the pixels

[lilac bear]

tbf 8gen2 is nicer than G2

and the phone is lighter

[vapid smelt]

Lenovo has a 14.5" 3K (3000 x 1876) OLED tablet

[lilac bear]

Lenovo tablet hahah

[desert ivy]

Yeah. The reason it sucks is because I want to get the full 4k on Netflix there. While I may not be able to notice individual pixels, the much higher bandwidth is something you can notice.

I would get it if Netflix actually streamed at 1440p. Or if they allowed you to select.

[lilac bear]

I mean nothing stopping you from using 4K on 1440p

[lilac bear]

OH LMAO

[desert ivy]

AFAIK, there's no way to force a 4k stream.

[vapid smelt]

Could get a 4k folding laptop

[desert ivy]

Hahaha no kidding I would if I was rich. But that's way over budget for watching TV on bed.

[vapid smelt]

Do you not have a TV in your room?

[manic torrent]

which data? Not all data is the same.

[desert ivy]

My TV is set up as a home theater. But yeah, that's probably the best thing I can do get a second TV.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.xreal.com/air2 or those ar glasses

[desert ivy]

that seems really cool, if they work.

[echo canopy]

Netflix also uses more efficient codecs for 4k and HDR content.

[graceful burrow]

Does Netflix stream av1 yet

[echo canopy]

Yes, they and YouTube were the first adopters

[graceful burrow]

Only smart thing they've done

[full fossil]

Hey is a 7 7800x3d good for rtx 3070

[echo canopy]

TBF their AV1 encoder to start out was pretty dogshit.

[full fossil]

I'm updating gpu next year so

[echo canopy]

It was not ready at all.

[echo canopy]

Just get a 7700 non X unless you play a game that benefits a shit ton from it or are planing to play at 200+ fps

All the games I play at 1440 struggle to bottleneck my 7700x with a 6950xt.

It’s really not worth the higher price

[opal thunder]

If you plan on upgrading in the future rather than rebuilding completely I’d go with the 7800x3d unlike what creamsoda is saying if you can afford it

If you don’t have the extra money to spend don’t get it

It really depends on what you feel like spending

[echo canopy]

That’s 50% more expensive depends on where you live for on average a few more frames

[opal thunder]

Not just a few frames and If you get a really good deal on a motherboard with it it’s worth imo if you feel like spending extra so when you upgrade with 50 or 60 series you won’t bottleneck your gpu

[manic cedar]

@vapid smelt the thing you're looking for is called a rog flow x16

[lilac bear]

this is so sad can we get another season of Big Mouth

[echo canopy]

If you can get it cheap in a bundle deal yeah sure. Altho OP didn’t mention that

[opal thunder]

It really just depends on your priorities imo

[full fossil]

Well will my cpu make a diffremce I already bought it I have a amd ryzen 7 5700 Basclly a 5700G without the G and 100 mhz less clock speed

[wispy marsh]

Highly sensitive data. Banking & card, genetic, browser history, important contracts details etc

[balmy hollow]

I find it funny that Xbox, after increasing for some unknown reason the price of their most popular console on a third world country by $200, went absolutely radio silent, so Phil, Sarah and XboxBR haven't said anything, and neither posted anything on Twitter

PR at it's peak

[manic torrent]

Lol banking data being hidden from 5eyes. That's hilarious concept

[wispy marsh]

Hm, yeah. Other data though?

[desert ivy]

I think everyone knows to keep their banking data private. And business stuff. Browser history, meh.

[supple mist]

Anyone know the best gaming laptop to get under 2,000$? The price could be 1,999. I just cant go over the 2k mark.

[velvet marsh]

Any big requirements? like screen size?

[jaunty compass]

Pre or post tax

[manic torrent]

My point is more that there are realistic limits on how much data you can keep private for many reasons. If your stated goal is to avoid any detection or interdiction by nation state actors, it is extremely difficult. Avoiding various lower levels of disclosure and enforcement can be effective in various ways, but you need to have a useful risk profile for any of it to make sense.

"omg privacy / opsec / etc " is just bullshit dick swinging. What are you keeping from whom.

I don't wanna be "that" person but I'd rather split my budget 50-50 to get a laptop and a gaming PC, something like the M1 air runs for 800ish on sale and there are a lotta options for 1-1.2k PCs out there

u guys know about the dataflow thing?

bascially a company can see what packets u sent from ur computer to the vpn, and see if theres another aserver sends the same packets out to another server. this way they can track what u are doing

exactly, that's kinda the point I'm making 🙂

[wispy marsh]

[dreamy rose]

discussing this on discord is an idiotic irony because if you knew anything about security you wouldn't be here to discuss it.

[graceful burrow]

Security by obscurity or some shit idk what they're saying anymore

[dreamy rose]

Cybersecurity talk on discord is about as logical as talking about crimes you commited infront of the police station.

[full fossil]

good choice but what res?

[hollow mango]

Hoping for one decent enough for watching movies and sports

[full fossil]

yeah 4k would be great

[hollow mango]

Still worried about burn in too. I'm hearing mixed information right now about whether it's still an issue or not for newer models but I'd probably just wait on that too

[manic torrent]

... police stations are actually typically very lightly staffed and they have other shit to do, so this is actually pretty accurate, accidentally.

hello guys

[haughty kayak]

can someone explain to me why the rx 6950 xt from XFX MERC is 300 bucks cheaper than the rx 6900 xt Aorus?

6950 performance is way better tho right?

[dusty rune]

not way better
just better

[crystal mirage]

well maybe it is a top of the line rx 6900 xt or gigabyte set the price higher than xfx

(or both)

but yes the rx 6950 xt is better but not by a lot

[dreamy rose]

no questions go buy it then

[tepid jasper]

6950xt also doesnt suffer the same 600w (?) transients that the 6900xt suffers from iirc

[crude jasper]

Bionic x hardwarebob arguments are a classic

[wispy marsh]

BionicBob

[echo canopy]

The 6900xt and 6950xt is the same card except the 6950xt has a higher boost clock, that’s all

[empty drift]

yo is it safe if my fans goes vroooo everytime i restart

[echo canopy]

Yes

[wispy marsh]

Memclock you mean

Non XX50's can't go past 2150

[echo canopy]

2310 MHz on the 6950xt and 2250 MHz on the 6900xt, altho yes I forgot about the higher memory clock

Official specs by AMD

[wispy marsh]

Remember... rdna2/3 scales up to 700w

4090 tapers off severely starting at 400~500

[dreamy rose]

lmao. what a bug.

2015 myki was wild

[echo canopy]

In ltt own 1000 watt vbios they got almost 600 watts in forza

[full fossil]

off topic, anyone knows a chat rooms site that embeds images, like tlk.io ?

[echo canopy]

Only the 4090 will breaks 400 watts without mods, the 6950xt is limit to around 320 watts core power

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, but that's also because they pushed the hell out of that card

[echo canopy]

I mean, that’s the only way you’re gonna get 700 watts out of a 6950xt

[wispy marsh]

Yep

I assume with base sliders you can make 400w with 6900/6950 cards

My 6800XT caps at 330 in 2077, but psu can't do that

[echo canopy]

alr

hear me out

so during the wanshow people spoke about changing the imei number on a device.

I wana do that now

to an iphone

14 or above

need documentation to read through

[prime solstice]

There are ways but you need sketchy software

[last solstice]

hit me up with the articles

[full fossil]

Why do it tho?

[last solstice]

hear me out

[prime solstice]

There’s this one I found

[wispy marsh]

Microsoft Edge on the iPhone

You're going to purgatory

[prime solstice]

I mean I’m hell I’m already halfway there

[wispy marsh]

Purgatory

Hell doesn't want you

Please stay away from our fellow residents

[last solstice]

[full fossil]

Well say it already.

[polar pine]

Using Edge in general

Ew

[prime solstice]

Damn I guess I don’t want myself

[prime solstice]

I like the game pass I can get for free when I search up stuff

With Microsoft rewards

[wispy marsh]

Microsoft is a huge part of the five eyes tho

[prime solstice]

Idc

[lapis solstice]

Isn't every US based company part of 5 eyes

[last solstice]

government issued banning of all new iphones 14 and up

ma bad I was reading shit

[full fossil]

China?

[last solstice]

no but close enough

[full fossil]

Ah

[last solstice]

any way The problem with these posts are like either they are old or they are like they are redit post that say its impossible

[prime solstice]

Wait so that means I can put a Samsung imei on a huwawei and a one plus phone

[last solstice]

android yes I dont think it would be hard

just needs to be rooted (prolly, I havent searched much about it )

[full fossil]

Samsung will probably be a bit difficult,

Depends on the model tho

[last solstice]

like everyone on reddit seems to be unanimusly telling me that its impossible to change the imei on the iphone

also there is this dingus on apple fourms

[prime solstice]

No I’m talking about swapping a one plus imei to think it’s a Samsung

Since us banned huwawei (idk how it’s spelled) and most other phones

[full fossil]

Ah

I had it backwards

[prime solstice]

Oh it’s possible if you want to mess with your phone most people don’t want to so they believe it’s not possible

[last solstice]

if I could like find the hardware that holds the value to the imei

would it be the main chip ?

[prime solstice]

Possibly i haven’t looked into the newer iPhone motherboards

[last solstice]

I need to find someone that like works with this shit

and my best bet rn is going back to my own country and asking the repair shops there

[prime solstice]

I used to work at a repair shop but I stopped once school ended for the summer now I got a new job

[last solstice]

ooo lesgo has a job now

W

[prime solstice]

Honestly it might be the chips and the software

[last solstice]

if there is any software part then it can be exploited

if it is hard coded into the hardware it might still be possible by swaping that part of the hardware but it will be a much more intensive process

also there is a reddit post that is like IF yOu ChAnGe ThE iMEi YoUaRe A tHeIf

like jeez bro I just want to use an iphone 15 in a government where its illegal

this is what I was looking for

[spice pine]

On top of that… changing the IMEI is a really risky move with an iPhone. If it connects to a network and ping’s Apple’s servers, there’s a good chance they’ll disable the phone. Changing an IMEI is not a good idea in any capacity.

Carriers really heavily watch for this kind of activity, as it’s most commonly used with device fraud and scams — if your carrier is able to collect any more information from the device (they usually are) they’ll see it’s not listed as an allowed device and block it from the network.

Man, I’ve been workin on macs all morning and the Magic Mouse is disgusting

[dusty rune]

idk how people use the apple mouse and keyboard

theyre everything but ergonomic and good to use

[neon mesa]

a lot of apple copium

[harsh quartz]

It’s a graphic design company, some use the Magic Mouse some use the touchpad thing but both left my hand cramping

[soft swan]

Don’t they use windows pcs

[harsh quartz]

Why would they

It’s a graphic design company, apples are like the go to for those companies

[sage quiver]

Magic Mouse is trash, Magic Trackpad is amazing (in macOS). Apple keyboards are fine.

[dusty rune]

id rather have a mechanical one for the same price

[harsh quartz]

The keyboards were fine but I miss the 10key, and the trackpad still left my hands cramping just cause I gotta curl my fingers up for too long

[restive lion]

The keyboards are nice once you're used to them, unless you're a purist who screeches anytime they touch something that isn't a mechanical keyboard

[spice pine]

those people need help

[prime solstice]

It’s Apple the iOS software and os can’t really be exploited

[harsh quartz]

They just feel cheap IMO

[restive lion]

Idk what the new ones feel like, I only use the ~2015 era ones

[harsh quartz]

I’ve never liked them, but I also don’t like laptop keyboards, I like having big/tall buttons

They’re too flat, like my hands have to curl up to type

[restive lion]

Yeah that's why I use the 2015 ones

[harsh quartz]

They’re still just flat though

Also having gestures is nice but I would rather just have a scroll wheel

I had to RMA my laptop this morning has anyone else seen this happen before?

it was weird i booted it up last night and im getting some windows message about bitlocker and needing a recovery key becaseu secure boot got turned off
so i went into the bios to turn secure boot back on and even with it on i got the message
then i did the recovery key thing just for it to then crash over and over 5 time and then it just stopped turing on

[polar pine]

Whens the last time you updated your BIOS

[grim marten]

never the laptop is only 3 month old

https://rog.asus.com/us/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-duo-16-2023-series/

this is the laptop

[polar pine]

So you didn't immediately apply BIOS or other updates as soon as you got it

Day 1 patches etc?

[pliant karma]

usually my xps just auto updates whenever there is a new bios for it lol

one last year killed my boot drive

for whatever reason.

i might have done that stuff day 1 but other then that nothing

its it aint broke i dont fix it lol

Because it means they don’t die along with the battery pack

never happened to me 💔

[vapid smelt]

10,000 sounds fake

Microsoft better offer a controller with battery life as good as my Chinese controller

I opened it and the battery is labeled as 10000mah

And the controller has lasted 90 hours on one charge so far

[hard stirrup]

I wanted to do a PSA but my message got deleted

[median apex]

BRO. I finally figured out why Apple Music was crashing for me. It has a conflict with RivaTuner

[sage quiver]

Where that energizer phone at

[gilded quest]

I appreciate the ability to swap batteries but they should include rechargeables as pack ins instead of disposable

[sage quiver]

Or is that it

Wait, it is

[gilded quest]

It never even came out right

[sage quiver]

Bring back the Apple battery charger

[gilded quest]

The what now

[graceful burrow]

it didnt
i genuinely would have bought one

[hard stirrup]

bots are doing a comeback on YouTube, they write random stuff and try to pass through as normal viewers but if you look closely they have scam links in their bio

[sage quiver]

They sold it for years

[gilded quest]

I'll be honest I didn't pay attention to apple until 2016 or 2017

[prime solstice]

Flip over the floppy disk

[sweet jetty]

Gosh i used those for my xbox 360 🤭

Good ol days

[vapid cypress]

Thats a samsung phone

Fake

[dense coral]

Should i disable my discrete gpu before shutting down my laptop btw?

[vapid cypress]

You mean external?

[dense coral]

Yep

[vapid cypress]

I don't think so

[dense coral]

Laptop

[vapid cypress]

It should shut down with the laptop

[weak jungle]

Hmm does someone know how many performance cores the 14 core M3 Max CPU has?
Is it 12 like the 16 core one or less? 🤔

[dense coral]

Ok

[zinc kayak]

[dusty rune]

it looks just like you

[velvet marsh]

It is performance cores that are lost, so it's 10P

[dusty rune]

(dinosaur because youre adult therefore youre old, get it?)

[vapid cypress]

Rawwwwr

[hard stirrup]

Breagentinosaurus Flouriculensis

[vapid smelt]

A butts dinosaur

[weak jungle]

That's really sad...
Kinda feels like the only M3 worth getting is M3 Max 16 core if CPU is your priority otherwise might be as worth just sticking to M2 Pro? 🤔

[velvet marsh]

It's still 10P cores vs the max of 8 on the M2 Pro

But we will have to wait for release to really see the real world difference

[vapid smelt]

Can't wait for the m3 ipad

[prime solstice]

My school google account might be telling me something

[vapid cypress]

The only test I'm good at 😎

[slate bear]

I wish they would make iPadOS more capable, I have an M2 iPad Pro and very few apps can actually take advantage of the power

FCP, Logic and Photoshop is about it lol

[prime solstice]

A m1 iPod classic would be cool can play music at better quality

[slate bear]

That would be way overkill

An iPod classic wouldn’t even need the newest phone chip

[velvet marsh]

Resolve works pretty well on there.

[prime solstice]

But what if I wanna play break out in full 60 fps

[slate bear]

Wow, I didn’t even know they have resolve for the iPad. That’s pretty cool

[velvet marsh]

And also RE VIllage just launched

[slate bear]

I saw that

99% of what I do on my iPad is taking notes, I haven’t explored those big apps as much as I should

[velvet marsh]

Ooh, procreate dreams looks pretty cool

[slate bear]

That’s cool

[prime solstice]

Ngl a iPod that can play resident evil would be cool

[slate bear]

For an iPod classic revival it would be cool to bring back the click wheel design. Include Apple Music, lossless headphone jack output, 1-2tb of storage and a huge battery. There are people who want this but I don’t think it would be successful enough for Apple to consider making it

There are a ton of concepts like that on Reddit lol but it is too niche of a device to be successful like the iPod was 20 yrs ago

[weak jungle]

yeah I guess they'll be out in like a week?
Do you happen to have any good arguments I could use to convince my boss I need a M3 Max with 16 core cpu? 😂

I do mobile app / web / backend development.

[velvet marsh]

Faster compiling time? lol

[prime solstice]

Dang that would be $1499.99

[velvet marsh]

Or the 14 core has weird amount of ram options. 36gb or 96gb tf?

[slate bear]

No way, 400 max

For the cheapest one

[prime solstice]

It’s Apple it would be $1499.99

The cheapest would be $800

[slate bear]

Lol

[prime solstice]

Oh and let’s not forget that the headphone jack will need a dongle

[dusty rune]

1tb seems a bit excessive

[prime solstice]

Dank pods did it

[dusty rune]

yeah but ill be surprised if you can even hit 100gb

[slate bear]

Yeah, maybe 1tb could be the highest option

[prime solstice]

Dankpods did it

[weak jungle]

Yeah really strange that the other options are only available for the 16 core one ^^

[slate bear]

You can fill that much space with music especially high res/lossless music

[prime solstice]

https://youtu.be/UHzFoN8ob-s?si=Z89E2zEynMaEOX4h

[dusty rune]

lossless music and yet using bluetooth

[slate bear]

The kind of people who buy dedicated audio players use wired headphones

[polar pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE3X9lmDZTs

[dusty rune]

oh mb i thought you meant without a headphone jack

[prime solstice]

I liked that video

[slate bear]

Oh no

An iPod revival would need a headphone jack for sure

[prime solstice]

Oh wait I forgot to charge the iPod the cable won’t be included and you will get u2 on it

[prime solstice]

It’s Apple it will be a usb c dongle

[slate bear]

Lol

[sage quiver]

the u2 album lmao

[slate bear]

I forgot about that 😂

[prime solstice]

Imaging if that’s the only thing that came with the new iPod is just the iPod itself and a u2 album

[sudden bough]

bleh

[elfin edge]

just get a Fiio portable player B)

[sharp parrot]

Did anyody else's school give them iPad

[polar fern]

when i was in school we still had windows 95

[vapid smelt]

suprised you had computers i though you grew up on type writers

[sudden bough]

Hahahah yeah typewriters. Your school was rich

We finally got computers like my junior year.

We had a typewriter in the principal’s office

[echo canopy]

My school got M2 iMacs for the stupid art kids while computer science kids were using dell optiplexs from like 2015

[dreamy rose]

or they really just like ipods

[manic torrent]

all the art kids are stupid?

or was it only for the stupid ones?

[echo canopy]

The action of getting them iMacs was the stupid part.

[slate bear]

At my uni all the engineering computer labs have dual monitors. Lol

[manic torrent]

That isn't what you said though

[echo canopy]

That’s how English works

At least here the local dialect you’re not calling them stupid but doing stuff for them stupid.

[manic torrent]

Yes, when you use adjectives next to nouns, those are the nouns they apply to.

[dreamy rose]

what you said says the art kids are stupid.

i'm starting to believe maybe its not them thats stupid. lol

[echo canopy]

Mans doesn’t understand there is local slang

[sharp leaf]

Where can I buy Alan wake Remastered for PC?

[vapid smelt]

on the internet

[sharp leaf]

Only Epic?

Didn’t know if there were other options

[manic torrent]

local slang where you pretend you weren't calling the art kids stupid because hurrrrr

[sharp leaf]

Google didn’t help

[dreamy rose]

i come from a land where we use Dunny and Bottleo

[dreamy rose]

do you actually use EGS?

[manic torrent]

hating on "Art kids" is not "local slang". Own your shit.

[echo canopy]

Officially according to their website yeah

[vapid smelt]

https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/alan-wake-remastered

[sharp leaf]

Steam has the original game for $4

Almost bought it before realizing it was the original

[dreamy rose]

then buy that.

[sharp leaf]

Do you have to play the first to understand the sequel

[echo canopy]

I’m not hating on them?

[sharp leaf]

I would rather have better graphics

[dreamy rose]

whys that?

[graceful burrow]

They're story games, yes lol

[sharp leaf]

Sometimes you can play a sequel to a game without having to play the first

I don’t get much time to game because of work

[graceful burrow]

These are very Googleable questions lol

[sharp leaf]

So I wanted to see if it was a must to play the first. Plus, I am trash at games

Well thought I would ask here because it would be easier if I had more questions

I just wanted to get opinion on that from here. Sorry to bother you. I know I am a loser and a failure

[graceful burrow]

Damn bro's just sayin shit now lol

[manic torrent]

You explicitly called art kids stupid, and now you're trying to weasel out of it.

[sharp leaf]

I honestly just feel like killing myself to be honest. Hope you guys have a great night.

[graceful burrow]

<@&750150305383186585> extremely inappropriate joke

[polar fern]

<@&750150305383186585> @sharp leaf rule 3

[echo canopy]

I’m not sure how to explain this to you but that specific phrasing is somewhat commonly used to call the action towards someone or something stupid not the actual person or object stupid.

If you took it that way, didn’t mean to but I didn’t hate the art kids or think they were stupid.

[manic torrent]

Adjectives apply to the word they occur before. It was before a noun. To what word in your sentence are you proposing that the Adjective applies? Not to mention, there's two adjectives there - stupid and art.

It is common to descrive an action as stupid, yes, but that's not what you did

[echo canopy]

Don’t lecture me on the fucking “rules” of English when they’re broken all the time. Nor does a lot of local dialect even follow them

[manic torrent]

"the school stupidly bought macs for the art kids"

"it was stupid that the school bought macs"

[manic torrent]

duuuude, this is a core fucking construct. This is not a weird grammatical quibble, it goes to the fundamental structure of speech, and it applies much more generally than english

[somber drift]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

Browsing public chat right now

[median idol]

You and I both

[manic torrent]

The structure of modifier target is very clear, and you pretending that somehow there's a POSSIBLE way to parse your sentence in any other way is frankly hilarious.

What happened was, you used the phrase "stupid art kids" without thinking about it because of your inherent and likely unconscious bias, without meaning SPECIFIC offense, because you just consider them naturally "less than" and you're now trying to justify it with bizarre grammatical bullshit.

[echo canopy]

What the fuck are you on about? I would have used the same phrasing about the CS kids if they got them rtx 4090 for fucking Java

I literally have nothing against art kids or artists, why the fuck are you projecting?

[dreamy rose]

(no you wouldn't lmao)

[echo canopy]

“Cause I said so”

[manic torrent]

go back, re-read what you wrote, then explain to me how you cna POSSIBLY read in the way you are trying to explain it

You're ashamed of your bias, and trying to pretend it does exist - which is natural, but you're really not doing yourself favours here

[echo canopy]

Dude that’s just how people talk where I’m from. It ain’t that deep

[manic torrent]

how, exactly is that? just... random adjectives inserted anywhere into the sentence?

[echo canopy]

Do you not know how weird local dialect can get?

It makes no sense.

[manic torrent]

"It's ok because everyone here hates on art kids!"

[echo canopy]

I understand now that someone might take it a way it’s not meant but it’s… not the way I meant

[echo canopy]

That’s not what I’m saying I already explained it.

Anyways why does it matter if I hate art kids or not.

[manic torrent]

how you meant it is your mental state - nobody know what that is. How it parses by literally everyone else in existence is what it means

[echo canopy]

Mkay

[dreamy rose]

bruh this guy just said 2023 is the best year for gaming.

[haughty kayak]

Ive installed a new gpu into my system aorus 6900 xt (upgraded from 3060ti)

Many times when i shut down my pc, i get blue screens and my pc instantly restart on its own after.

Also in some games i get heavy stutters but 60fps and even worse peeformance than my 3060ti?

What could be wrong?

[manic torrent]

Do a DDU complete driver wipe and reinstall

[dreamy rose]

you used DDU to wipe the Nvidia driver?

[haughty kayak]

I just deinstalled it from the windows settings

[dreamy rose]

yeah thats not good enough when switching colors.

[haughty kayak]

XD

[echo canopy]

I thought the issues with red and green divers conflicting was fixed on windows?

[haughty kayak]

Ok so i should DDU wipe the nvidia drivers and the amd drivers and reinstall the amd drivers?

[dreamy rose]

you've gotta run DDU in safe mode for it to work propperly

[haughty kayak]

DDU is a program i can download right?

[dreamy rose]

yes

[haughty kayak]

Ok ill try it, thanks

[harsh quartz]

Eh, worked fine for me without safe mode

[dreamy rose]

its more to be safe than sorry.

[harsh quartz]

Eh, fuck it

[echo canopy]

I prefer living on the edge

[dreamy spoke]

Anyone think I can add an extra 12ft of DP and USB3.0 cable to my Valve Index tether? It would let me put the PC in another room.

[desert ivy]

Maybe because there may be art kids here. Like if I said I hate weebs.

[echo canopy]

Dude same /j

[polar fern]

way to sound cringe

[echo canopy]

Probably run into signal degradation issues or random cutouts.

Unless you get a “active” extension cable

[dreamy rose]

wouldn't advise any of this.

[polar fern]

hum

[dreamy rose]

theres a reason linus has a dedicated VR PC in his living room and not using his own in the basement.

[graceful burrow]

Actually a very good point tbh

[echo canopy]

His setup last time I checked was a bit more complex then what theyr proposing.

[graceful burrow]

The vr rig is just a box in the room iirc

[dreamy spoke]

alternative is moving my tower back and forth to the living room lol.

[graceful burrow]

Signal degradation could make someone dizzy or nauseous in vr

It's insanely absurdly jarring when everything is working in vr and then it stops tracking your head

I've got a steel stomach for vr and even that gets me

[restive lion]

I have a wireless vive and that happens all the time

[dreamy rose]

the signal degredation and issues it would cause is fine for things like flatscreen. but VR is the difference between not vomiting And having your stomach forcefully eject itself out

[graceful burrow]

That's why I'll never do wireless vr kek

I do not trust it

[restive lion]

Yeah I didn't have choice for my setup

[dreamy rose]

until standalone PCVR Happens with an APU on the headset/ accessory

[restive lion]

I swap between the wireless and wired connectors when I'm gaming and programming (respectively) and the wired one is much smoother but I can't leave my desk with it

[echo canopy]

Like I mentioned you can get an active repeater to alleviate degradation issues. Linuses setup includes a proprietary intermediary encoder and decoder that could cause issues unrelated to the longer range

Altho having nothing between the headset and pc is preferable.

[graceful burrow]

yeah i dont really call those wireless
those i classify as standalone
all processing is done in-device
wireless to me means it's getting data from a different source (a pc in this case)

[dreamy rose]

thats the point, its not wireless but its not tethered.

[graceful burrow]

nah you're mincing

[shadow hazel]

I read the language shenanigans above, yeah you should say "stupid school", putting a modifier directly ahead of ANY object in a SVO language makes it modify that object, saying "stupid art kids" is to objectify them and call them stupid.

if that's your dialect, how does anyone understand what you're referring to?

[echo canopy]

Weird reason to necro a dead convo

I’ve already explained that question and your point has already been throughly explained.

[shadow hazel]

You haven't mentioned any rules to this mechanic, does every modifier only affect the preceding object now?

how would somebody even remember what you're trying to modify?

[dreamy rose]

they just hate Art kids and threw out a classic Seymour "its a regional dialect"

[shadow hazel]

"Looking from the grass down at the water, the red sea is full of blue shark". So the grass is red, the sea is blue and the sharks are not?

[polar fern]

"i hate art kids" breh see a therapist

[harsh quartz]

If it’s any consolation I understand what your trying to say and they also hate when I say shit so I guess we’re both bad at English

[echo canopy]

be careful or they will say you hate art kids too

[harsh quartz]

{I do}

[shadow hazel]

I also have mild dislike for both (schools and art kids) despite being an art kid to an unknown degree.

[dreamy rose]

T: "and WHY do you hate the art kids?"
C: "they got the M2 Macs and we didn't"
T: "you are right to be mad"

[polar fern]

"art kid" now we just inventing groups to discriminate against -eyeroll-

[shadow hazel]

theatre kid but they took digital arts instead of theatre.

[restive lion]

Mmm yes the invented group of people in literal art classes

[echo canopy]

Do you want me to say creative arts like literally every institution says? It was specifically the graphic design course in this case.

[shadow hazel]

if you don't know either stereotype, that's probably a good thing lol

[restive lion]

As a theatre tech I dislike theatre kids, specifically the actors

[harsh quartz]

Calling something stupid doesn’t mean you hate it, it just means your irritated at it, like calling a car stupid after it breaks down

[echo canopy]

To clarify I don’t want M2 Mac’s I would prefer a real PC for a computer science course /j

[shadow hazel]

commodore 64 it is

[echo canopy]

Yes

[dreamy rose]

because they always think they are hot shit and the creame of the crop?

[restive lion]

"Here's a 700 LAV, now we're going to tape it to you, do not touch it and don't break it"

*20 minutes into the fucking performance*
"Hi I took it off cause it was annoying me, can you put it back on before I go on stage in 30 seconds"

[shadow hazel]

pretending to be someone else is useful across disciplines, they could always transfer into, uh, politics. (please don't.)

[echo canopy]

Damn what I said was used to misconstrue me as a creative arts hater but people here are flat out insulting them now

[dreamy rose]

then why are you complaining about it?

[fossil frost]

as you grow up, you will realise that its pointless to dislike any individual group of people, or individual person because of who they are or what they do... you start to realise its easier to simply dislike everyone and everything by default, and simply choose what it is you do like and ignore everything else

[harsh quartz]

Because there’s only so much budget and new M2 macs are kind of a waste of the budget

[fossil frost]

its pointless putting effort into disliking people or things

[echo canopy]

They spent like 1.2k for each of the Macs and enough for an entire class and we had shitty computers that cost less then 400 each in 2014

[restive lion]

I like this approach

[dreamy rose]

oh don't worry i already know.

[echo canopy]

Some of the keyboards we had were from the early 2000s as I knew the model of dell keyboard

[harsh quartz]

Okay this is a dumb complaint

Schools buy shitty keyboards, it’s in their DNA

[dreamy rose]

our music classes have 2017 macbook airs, i don't complain about it.

[echo canopy]

They had the official Mac keyboards for the graphic design kids.

[fossil frost]

schools buy from whoever puts in the lowest bid

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, the shitty ones

[dreamy rose]

"uugh why do the music kids get Macbooks when we have to deal with 3rd gen intel dell AIOs and 8th gen Acer AIOs" is something you wont catch me complaining about.

[harsh quartz]

So because your fine with it means that no one else can ever be annoyed by a questionable school budget?

[polar fern]

you're*

[harsh quartz]

Average transit L

[dreamy rose]

the Macbooks are there for garage band. and even then it's pretty useless when you can just use anything else on your own PC

[fossil frost]

part of not giving a shit about what people do or think, is not giving a shit what other people do or think about that thing or person or action

[echo canopy]

The PC we had were based off of bulldozer

Do I need to say anything else?

[harsh quartz]

You should probably clarify that the bulldozer isn’t being used to run over the art kids

[echo canopy]

Lmao

[dreamy rose]

well its intresting that it'd be AMD. schools never had any AMD products from what i've seen.

[vapid cypress]

Raaaaa

[echo canopy]

We even had chromebooks that run AMD apus.

Shit was weird, and the cheapest shit you could get

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, that’s the whole point of Chromebooks

[soft swan]

Your school’s pcs have aio’s? 💀

[dreamy rose]

the only AMDs you see in my school are BYOD Laptops with Ryzen.

[soft swan]

Damn

[harsh quartz]

aio computers

[soft swan]

Oh

[dreamy rose]

all in one computers.

[fossil frost]

an AIO PC is different to an AIO cooler in a PC

[echo canopy]

Most teachers banned your own laptop in their classes.

[harsh quartz]

We got arctic freezers in an optiplex bb

[dreamy rose]

they look like this.

[polar fern]

lenovo has those, they also have monitors with speakers & webcam, and on te back you click your tiny form factor pc in a lil pocket

[dreamy rose]

these ones have a CD Drive, they are that kind

[graceful burrow]

i want a 1:1 monitor

[harsh quartz]

This is normal

[dreamy rose]

its hip to be square.

[restive lion]

Are you living in 2003 by any chance

[dreamy rose]

this school has phased out CDs unless its the movie selection in the library,

[echo canopy]

4:3 and 16:10 are the only acceptable formats

[harsh quartz]

No but AIOs are always like 5 years behind, every AIO I’ve ever seen, even modern ones, have optical drives

[restive lion]

Eh true

[harsh quartz]

They’re meant for office work, not gamers, same reason optiplex’s still have optical

[dreamy rose]

until they throw a 7840U in one.

[harsh quartz]

Just because it “can” game doesn’t mean it’s “meant” for gaming

[fossil frost]

and just because it isnt meant for gaming, doesnt mean it cant

[harsh quartz]

Yes but I didn’t say it can’t, I specifically said it isn’t meant for gaming

[restive lion]

And that's why smart fridges run doom

[harsh quartz]

Pregnancy test moment

Smart fridges can actually cloud game lots more than doom :p

whats "WTF" about it?

I ain’t never seen something like that before

This is the only way I’ve ever seen them done

that's not an optical, that's the ThinkCentre

[haughty kayak]

Hi, so ive ran DDU to deinstall all nvidia and amd drivers.
I reinstalled amd adrenalin and aurora fusion.

i started Lords of the fallen to test it and my fps are dropping to 22fps avg. even tho i had 60 plus on my old gpu?

[dreamy rose]

all good now?

[haughty kayak]

ive had no bluescreen problems yet so thats good

[vapid smelt]

should have gotten a intel gpu

[haughty kayak]

but the perfomance in some games is just below avg.

[haughty kayak]

i dont think the 6900xt is a worse option

ik the card works good, i saw various benchmarks with the same specs.

[dreamy rose]

far the opposite of the worst option.

[echo canopy]

Yeah i think theyre just meming

[dreamy rose]

in the same games on the same settings?

[haughty kayak]

ok idk what i did but now im getting 144 plus fps

i guess i had to be a bit more patient

[haughty kayak]

oh xD

[vapid smelt]

[haughty kayak]

still thanks for helping i think the DDU did the job, thanks

[dreamy rose]

oh right. Shader Compilation. the first time you enter a new game it'll likely have to compile shaders and wont happen again after.

[harsh quartz]

A770 12gb> 6900xt

[echo canopy]

Steam automatically comes with pre compiled shaders for your gpu

unless theyre not using steam

[dreamy rose]

yeah, they didn't mention anything they were playing. so likely its an EGS or non steam title

[harsh quartz]

Even on steam now a lot of games I’ve played have to compile shaders first time

[vapid smelt]

16gb*

[harsh quartz]

Even the 12 is better than the garbage 6900

[haughty kayak]

fr

[vapid smelt]

intel has no 12gb cards

[echo canopy]

The only reason i would agree with that is the AV1 encoder and its kinda useless rn

[harsh quartz]

Oh I thought the special edition was 12g

[harsh quartz]

Yeah I know I googled it

It’s so strange that a non-existent card can be so much better than a 6900

[haughty kayak]

bro what?🤣 🤣 🤣

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vrYRsY/asrock-low-profile-arc-a380-6-gb-video-card-a380-lp-6g asrock has a low profile a380 now

Lol, I might use it too

[harsh quartz]

What the fuck

It is good to know about that though

[manic torrent]

[jaunty compass]

i hate you microsoft

[vapid smelt]

[latent plank]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-get-the-ball-rolling-zac-sistas-how-do-we-do-it-how-do-we-continue-it-gif-23522639

still just waiting on contractors to get their shit together

[vapid smelt]

hasnt it been months?

[latent plank]

yes

[graceful burrow]

dont even need the ac anymore

[latent plank]

its really annoying and almost comical at this point

[latent plank]

its also our heat

[harsh quartz]

So the joke that y’all were gonna get AC just in time to turn it off was valid

[graceful burrow]

ah
i see
then you def do need it lol

[vapid smelt]

they better give you a great discount or free food

[graceful burrow]

warehouses get cold af

[manic torrent]

andhot

[harsh quartz]

That’s rough

[opal thunder]

[graceful burrow]

hot season over tho

[latent plank]

luckily we kept the old heaters hooked up

but they are very .... not good

[harsh quartz]

Propane and propane accessories

[jaunty compass]

(The crypto mining rigs)

[vapid smelt]

you mean your testbeds? and other pcs running 400 watt gpus?

[latent plank]

lol

[manic torrent]

not on the underside of the world 😄

[graceful burrow]

how cold does it get there

[harsh quartz]

It’s just the 4090 power connectors starting bonfires

[jaunty compass]

It's Canada, so I assume quite

[graceful burrow]

no

[harsh quartz]

Common Aussie L

[graceful burrow]

not canada
that's not what i was asking

[latent plank]

we just pile old skids and boxes in the middle of the warehouse and have bon fires

[jaunty compass]

You mean the warehouse specifically

[graceful burrow]

no
i was responding to bob

[polar fern]

I just got an email saying that Apple is raising their price of Apple TV+ to $9.99 starting December

[harsh quartz]

Put some bread plushies near the bonfire and make toast plushies

[polar fern]

Mmm, toasted polyfill

[harsh quartz]

Apple customers can pay it

[jaunty compass]

Streaming services are almost as bad as cable TV was

[latent plank]

are

not almost

[manic torrent]

generally doesn't go below 0C

[jaunty compass]

Cable TV would give you like 4 minute ad breaks even though you paid full price

[polar fern]

If they’re going to be raising the price by $3, then their service should increase in quality by the same margin

[harsh quartz]

I would argue it’s not as bad yet cause I don’t have to watch 10 minutes of medicine commercials for 5 minutes of movie

[latent plank]

fair

[jaunty compass]

This is the only reason they aren't as bad yet

[polar fern]

Cable and satellite TV are not ad supported. It’s the network programs that are ad revenue supported

[harsh quartz]

And?

[jaunty compass]

Still a shit user experience

[harsh quartz]

It’s the consumer that pays both prices

[latent plank]

netflix has the "ad supported" tier though

[polar fern]

Television has always been a way to make money. The content creation is just a secondhand thing.

[latent plank]

so its coming full circle

[harsh quartz]

The ad supported tier that’s the same price as other streaming platforms normal prices :p

[jaunty compass]

We all know what most of us will do

Plex and jellyfin gang

[harsh quartz]

Tbh I’ve just stopped watching shows

[graceful burrow]

why would you have both installed

[jaunty compass]

I was referring to either or

[graceful burrow]

and != or

[jaunty compass]

As in Either Plex or jellyfin

[polar fern]

that $3 a month doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s going to make it very difficult for me to keep Apple TV+ which sucks goat gonads

[vapid smelt]

$23 for 4k on the right is the old price ( $10 for 480p!)

[polar fern]

20 Freaking dollars to watch it in a resolution that works on most peoples TVs

[harsh quartz]

Who dis for?

[jaunty compass]

Personally I don't care how much it goes up by, I get mad when it goes up at all

[polar fern]

480p should be free

[harsh quartz]

personally I just don’t watch

[jaunty compass]

I'd much rather go out and buy 4k Blu rays

[harsh quartz]

Only reason I keep a ps3 is for a Blu-ray player

[jaunty compass]

The problem is there are so many hoops to jump through

For 4k Blu ray playback on pc you need an Intel 10th gen chip or newer and a supported drive or something

Which is ridiculous

[harsh quartz]

PlayStation 🙂

[jaunty compass]

I shouldn't need a specific platform to watch movies

[jaunty compass]

I just use an Xbox one s I got for free for 4k Blu ray

[polar fern]

I have Amazon Prime Video, which I actually don’t use and I have Apple TV+. I also get Max through my cell phone plan.

[jaunty compass]

The PS3 can only play standard Blu ray

[harsh quartz]

You’ve never heard of a dvd player?

[jaunty compass]

A 4k Blu ray player is more expensive than an Xbox one S which works just fine as a 4k Blu ray player

[harsh quartz]

Yeah that’s fine

[jaunty compass]

Honestly I hate this new digital media age where you own nothing and everything is a subscription

[harsh quartz]

No I’m just saying the whole “shouldn’t have to use a specific platform” is kind of moot because dvd players exist, also PlayStation and Xbox

[jaunty compass]

I hate it

[harsh quartz]

Change it

[jaunty compass]

I was saying specifically for computers, you need newer Intel platform

[polar fern]

Meanwhile there’s bd-r drives you can pop into an enclosure & skip the big weird consoles

[jaunty compass]

What? You want me to go assassinate company execs? Because me voting with my wallet does nothing on an individual scale and not enough people care to actually stand up for their rights as consumers

[harsh quartz]

What the individual scale does change is your experience, so you don’t have to deal with it anymore 🙂

[jaunty compass]

I already don't pay for any of the major streaming services

The only subscription I have is discord nitro because I always forget to cancel it

[polar fern]

Apple makes enough money. They shouldn’t be raising prices

[vapid smelt]

you might need this

[jaunty compass]

Reminder that any publicly traded company is inherently evil

[polar fern]

I’m gonna be contacting them about this.

[jaunty compass]

Legally, their only objective is to make money for the shareholders

[prime solstice]

Ps5 ultra slim

[harsh quartz]

Bruh apple literally does this with every product, why is this ANY different?

[jaunty compass]

My 3d printer in question:

[fierce moth]

My bros becoming Australian 💀

I'll probs get that tho

[polar fern]

<@&750150305383186585> @vapid smelt rule 3, 9.

[harsh quartz]

Just don’t do it in New York :p

[jaunty compass]

Lmao

[vapid smelt]

it a book

[harsh quartz]

This man’s quoting book and chapter here

[jaunty compass]

That's a screenshot of a page to buy a book that is legal lol

Rule 3 at worst

[karmic flame]

Banned for reading books..

[jaunty compass]

Literally 1984

[full fossil]

my poor poor laptop

[harsh quartz]

No that’s Fahrenheit 451

[jaunty compass]

Also true

[polar fern]

Also, Apple does not “do this with every product”

[vapid smelt]

they shouldnt be charging $20 for a cloth too

[harsh quartz]

What product have they not slowly increased prices on to where the community is now overpaying for it without batting an eye?

[polar fern]

Did they raise the price on the cloth?

[vapid smelt]

apples ssd and ram prices

[jaunty compass]

Implying it isn't too high to begin with:

[manic torrent]

looooool

[harsh quartz]

Hell even just the base fuckin computer prices, starting at 3k for a chassis and 2k for the screen

[polar fern]

my point is that Apple TV price go up they don’t do this on other products.

[harsh quartz]

Yes, they do

[polar fern]

your point & my point are completely different

[jaunty compass]

Apple overcharges consumers you can agree on that right

[sage quiver]

I doubt AppleTV+ is currently profitable

[harsh quartz]

No, it’s an apple product, apple raises prices to the limit of what they think people will pay

[sage quiver]

In fact, I’m almost sure it isn’t

[polar fern]

Also, maybe if you ever actually owned an Apple Computer, you would realise that you’re paying for more than just a piece of hardware

[jaunty compass]

Lmao

[sage quiver]

Especially given all the free months they gave peeps for purchasing iPhones

[jaunty compass]

Okay bro

[harsh quartz]

It’s how they sell their Apple TVs and get more people in their ecosystem, so they can take a loss on it for other profits

[polar fern]

Yeah, I got one free year with the Apple TV 4K and another six months with the iPhone

[sage quiver]

You don’t need an Apple TV for it, though

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but it encourages it

[sage quiver]

They have an app on virtually every set top box

[vapid smelt]

apple should sell a real tv

[sage quiver]

They’re taking losses in order to grow the platform, moreso than to sell hardware if I had to guess

[polar fern]

I’m gonna go watch TV with my girlfriend baiiii

[harsh quartz]

I can technically watch Roku on my phone but I watch it on my roku tv instead

[jaunty compass]

Apple should go bankrupt

[vapid smelt]

aha i found the last generation intel based ram cost

[harsh quartz]

More than 10$/gb

[harsh quartz]

Wait why are the last 2 so drastically different

[jaunty compass]

Memory density

Oh wait you meant the 1.5 TB and the 768

Or did you not

[harsh quartz]

No I mean the density ones, why is it an extra 4k, it shouldn’t even be close to an extra 4k

Also yeah the 768 and the 1.5Tb, double the memory for 2.5x the price?

[vapid smelt]

64gb sticks vs 128

[jaunty compass]

(Also apple just likes money)

[vapid smelt]

more money so they can make cool tech like folding phones 😛

[jaunty compass]

A bit random given they left a few minutes ago What's with transitbiker always backseat modding anyways

[vapid smelt]

its not like i posted files for a 3d printable fire arm, was just a cool book made by some dude in the UK

[harsh quartz]

It’s also a topic that was discussed on wan show and is relevant to tech, not just out of the blue

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, ze poppler pneguin, ze best kind of pneguinw

[dreamy rose]

preposterous.

[vapid smelt]

did they forget to put in the steamdecks?

[red breach]

oh no I believe it

Polaris is dying quickly

[dreamy rose]

funny thing about the steam deck. they went back to calling it AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405 instead of AMD VANGOUGH. so instead of it peaking at like 0.82% now its gone down to 0.49%, with the basic no name radeon graphics going down to 19th place at 1.47%

[red breach]

my beloved RX470 is no longer the "basic acceptable card". Between mesh shader in AW2, and just CS2 being CS2 it's.... over for the old standby

you can interpret that about being about counter strike or cities skylines ^ both work

[vapid smelt]

have you tried attaching more vram to it?

[dreamy rose]

this kinda shit is why we have 4000 series.
