[night heron]

yeah like i said it has good factory calibration

great response times too

[polar fern]

140 nits?’

Erm

[night heron]

that's what he measured at, not its maximum

a little over 350nits max in SDR and a 3500:1 contrast ratio

[polar fern]

Well, I’m not an expert on colour calibration & all of that, but I would definitely have it around 85% maximum brightness for colour accuracy tests

And there’s more to it than the panel and refresh rate and stuff. There’s also the stand type and connectivity.

Definitely do the homework if you want to be happy with whatever you end up purchasing

[night heron]

for sure

[plush cloak]

If the hyperx armada 27 is on sale near where you are for 200 bucks, get it

[night heron]

this monitor is kind of a hidden gem though it's practically flawless aside from the fact that freesync doesnt work well on it

thats not really a dealbreaker for me personally with a 240hz panel

i mean im not even using it now on a 144hz panel

it's kind of sacrilege but im having an early mock thanksgiving dinner

Hi guys. I'm looking for a SSD 2.5" 2TB. I don't want to invest too much on this disk because I want also to buy an m.2. Is Team Group a good brand? I can get it for 105USD

[vapid smelt]

105? what country are you in

[rancid sage]

Portugal

it's expensive?

[vapid smelt]

a high end Crucial MX500 2tb cost $79 usd here in the states

[vapid smelt]

but to answer your question teamgroup is a good brand

[rancid sage]

ok tks

it's the less expensive I found

[rancid sage]

thanks, I was talking about that third entry but I see there are better options

I know these stores

https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/product/C3xbt6/team-mp33-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fp6002t0c101 a good m.2 ssd is cheaper then the slower 2.5 drives

[rancid sage]

I want to buy both to put on a mini PC, that's why I also want the 2.5'' one

besides that teamgroup, is there anything also good that's cheaper?

[small phoenix]

@vapid smelt that’s not a good price

[rancid sage]

the Teamgroup m.2?

[vapid smelt]

tell portugals market that

[rancid sage]

well, let's not talk about markets

we all know there are differences. let's not start with wages... 🙂

This is a really good deal in the us

[strange star]

if i downgrade from a 4060 8gb to a 3060 12gb to save 80 dollars is it worth it?

[vapid smelt]

for 1080p gaming not really

[rancid sage]

thanks @vapid smelt I will take into account TeamGroup as a good option on the more "cheap" side

[strange star]

i mean i have a 1060 ti rn so it will still be a upgrade

[small phoenix]

@vapid smelt dude that’s a 12 fps difference for 80$

3060 is worth the savings if u want to spend less

[vapid smelt]

its 15% faster

[small phoenix]

3060 also has 12gb of vram so 4 more gb

[sudden bough]

😐

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Rs92FT/xfx-speedster-swft-309-radeon-rx-6700-10-gb-video-card-rx-67xlkwfdv the rx 6700 would be a better buy over the rtx 4060 8gb

[strange star]

is it better than the 3060 ti oc

[vapid smelt]

no

[strange star]

for 10 dollars more I can get it

in walmart

[vapid smelt]

but the $299 rx 6700xt is

[vapid smelt]

the much faster rx 6700XT is the clear choice over the 3060ti

[strange star]

okay

what do you recommend i pair it with?

[vapid smelt]

the best cpu you can afford

[strange star]

alr can im js tryna get a nice upgrade without breaking the budget can i dont play enough video games to ball out

[small phoenix]

What’s ur current cpu

Try not to upgrade ur motherboard then

[strange star]

is the ryzen 5 5600x better than the regular one

[small phoenix]

Regular 5600?

Barely

[strange star]

imma get a whole new pc to get a fresh start, i have a ryzen 3 3600g rn

[strange star]

but is it better?

[small phoenix]

@strange star no don’t

Stay on am4

[vapid smelt]

by like 3%

[small phoenix]

You could get 5800x3d which would be an insane upgrade like insane

[strange star]

its 30 dollars cheaper too so ig

im not tryna break the bank tho

[soft swan]

Yea, it’s good for that

Or you can get 12600kf if you want intel, and it’s better

[small phoenix]

@strange star then don’t upgrade ur motherboard

[strange star]

i have a b450 rn is it good?

[small phoenix]

Yes

[soft swan]

Yea stay with amd then

What’s your cpu rn?

[small phoenix]

@strange star what’s ur budget for cpu

He has a 3600g

[soft swan]

Oh

[strange star]

i mean i have a hardware ban on val so thats why i kinda wanted a new fresh pc

[vapid smelt]

[soft swan]

Don’t use aim bot this time ig

[small phoenix]

Ryzen 5 5600 for 137$ is good

[strange star]

i think i got banned for having roblox fps unlocker in the background

[soft swan]

And 12600kf costs the same

[strange star]

cause i promise you i didnt drop bank on a aimbot

[small phoenix]

@soft swan then you would need to upgrade ur motherboard. Which I guess he wants to cause of ban?

[soft swan]

Tbh valorant’s anti chat is pretty whack

[soft swan]

Yea that’s why I said it, cause I think he wants to replace it

[real thunder]

I never turned off rbxfps unlocker on anything i played atd i never have been banned

[soft swan]

Wait , you can try appeal it tho?

So you don’t have to buy a new board

[strange star]

the guy said he cant tell me what third party app it is so when i get unbanned in 120 days imma js get insta banned again

but he said its final

i tried changing my serial numbers and stuff it didnt work tho

[soft swan]

Just call em again, you’ll get a different guy lol

[strange star]

i appealed 5 times

[soft swan]

oh shit

[strange star]

they all say the same "the winds have crossed our path again mate" BS

[small phoenix]

@strange star u can reset ur pc if u want.

[soft swan]

💀

[small phoenix]

Delete everything

[strange star]

i tried

[soft swan]

I think you gotta swap ssd’s

[strange star]

i even changed my ip address

[soft swan]

Have you tried that

[strange star]

nah

i haven t

[harsh quartz]

Windows tracks Mb SN, I’m curious if that’s also what’s tracked here

[soft swan]

Yea like new os on new ssd

[small phoenix]

@strange star if u want 120 days then u get unbanned?

[soft swan]

Not an expensive thing to try

[small phoenix]

Keep ur motherboard and reset ur pc

[strange star]

its 119 now but it was like 250 originally or something

[small phoenix]

Save money and upgrade cpu on current motherboard

[harsh quartz]

Or just don’t aimbot

[strange star]

i have money I js dont wanna spend all my money

[strange star]

I 100% promise I didnt aimbot

[harsh quartz]

That’s what an aimbotter would say

[strange star]

yeah sure 100%

[soft swan]

[vapid smelt]

[harsh quartz]

It’s also as if it’s a virus

[soft swan]

Damn, they really include it in win 11?

[strange star]

so i cant install roblox to play hood testing 🤬

[strange star]

i wish thats what happened

[sage yoke]

@soft swan well i never downloaded so i am assuming it was included

[harsh quartz]

It’s probably a software package from a third party vendor, they love to install that virus shit

[small phoenix]

@strange star dawg do u know what ur bio means lmao

[strange star]

but we getting offtrack so imma upgrade my gpu cpu mobo and ram

[soft swan]

[desert dagger]

[harsh quartz]

Norton don’t care. Norton is everywhere

Yes try that, erase the ssd first and then use it

[spice pine]

[sage yoke]

@desert dagger nah

[soft swan]

You probably accidentally clicked something when you were setting up windows lol

id be upset if i got a cherry brand keyboard that didnt use cherry mx switches

[spice pine]

grilled cheese is the most inferior sandwich on the planet

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/your-op-wrong-op-ding-dong-opinion-is-wrong-wrong-opinion-gif-15283102

[spice pine]

You could add almost anything to a grilled cheese to make it a "melt" which would automatically make it superior, because then it's not a grilled cheese

It's two pieces of bread cooked with a piece of american pasteurized prepared cheese product between it. tastes as bland as it sounds.

[graceful burrow]

dont crosspost

[ionic abyss]

so id be right in assuming a cherry brand keyboard with red switches would be using cherry red switches right?

[graceful burrow]

have you looked at the product description/box?

Still a juice

Wait, what?

[sudden bough]

Roast grind and soak

Tea is also a juice

You pass heated water through the grounds, the flavor is heated out of the grounds, it’s a broth, it is NOT squeezed

Also gravy on mashed potatoes is ok

So chocolate being a gravy and potential soup. It’s ok to chocolate mashed potatoes

456mm was more effective for boats

800mm is way better though

You mean Gustavs? There were two built

[clear mesa]

Oof, thats a HUGE difference.

[vapid smelt]

up to 25% faster

[clear mesa]

Skytech is good right?

[spice pine]

tad overpriced but that’s prebuilt for you

[clear mesa]

These specs are better correct: intel Core i7 12700F 2.1 GHz, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti, 1TB NVME SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM 3200, 750W Gold PSU, 360mm AIO, 11AC Wi-Fi, Windows 11 Home 64-bit

[proud mulch]

I suggest u get b650m pro rs for 15 dollars more and peerless assasin for 13 dollars more at least

[clear mesa]

I'm going for a prebuilt because I'm really not looking to build one right now

Any for 2k or less.

[spice pine]

My completely anecdotal experience with one of their products was fine. 🤷‍♀️ though if I have an issue with this thing, I know how to fix it so i’ve never had to deal with their support

[sudden bough]

I never get warranties cause by the time you get it fixed by them you could have done it yourself

[vapid smelt]

https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-chronos2-0924-b-ne/p/3D5-000Z-00195?Item=9SIA1HJJYX3631 this seems good

[clear mesa]

The Omen would be better the CPU is better + I could just change the RAM to 32GB

[full fossil]

rx 580 or the 1660TI for 1440p gaming such as warzone 2 and apex

[clear mesa]

Hold on

[vapid smelt]

meta quest 3 im thinking of getting one

[sudden bough]

Same but I’m biased against Meta. Also not sure about Airlink for pc games

[clear mesa]

It has slightly better graphics than the quest 2 and some new features. The controllers are also just the quest 2 ones without the rings.

[gilded quest]

I boycott all meta products

[clear mesa]

The meta quest pro was awful

steam vr (i do not own a vr headset)

The quest pro was so useless no one is going to buy a 1.5k vr headset that has nothing to offer with VR games

[vapid cypress]

Our dorm fridge stopped working

[dreamy rose]

quest 3 came out. VR Chat is still alive. not much right now. Pico seems to be in trouble. Vjario seems to be putting something out sometime soon.

[vapid cypress]

Mine is collecting dust too but it's for other reason, it's because I don't have a powerful PC to run on and im tired of ps3 graphics and bad physics

[dreamy rose]

mine isn't even assmebled yet, produced yet or sitting in a box waiting for an owner.

huh. Kernel 6.7 saying goodbye to Itanium? cool to see that its old enough that nobody uses it

[vapid cypress]

So true bestie

[vapid smelt]

then fix it

[vapid cypress]

It ran away

[pliant karma]

it's going to a frat party give it a few hours hehe

[vapid cypress]

I need my stuff cooled

[dreamy rose]

no you don't the frat party for the fridge is more important

[vapid cypress]

It was a free fridge now I have to spend money

[full fossil]

any one got good suggestions of office chairs, not super premium so not too alot in price

[vapid smelt]

so a$600 chair?

[full fossil]

im thinking around like 450-500

if possible

im tired of my stupid gaming chair

[graceful burrow]

i use an autonomous ergochair

[full fossil]

u like it for the price u paid for it?

[graceful burrow]

yes

[full fossil]

did u get the core, plus or the pro

[graceful burrow]

when i bought it, it was called ErgoChair 2

been a minute, bought it on a nice sale

[full fossil]

@graceful burrow i appreciate it, gonna get the ergochair plus

[vapid cypress]

My classmate just told me he got 0.3BTC on tiktok how the fuck does that happen

He said he got it from a millionaire on tiktok

[vapid smelt]

did he show you proof?

[vapid cypress]

Yeah

0.3BTC

💀

[full fossil]

easy $11k cop

[vapid cypress]

How does one just get 11k

Bro said he used a promo code

[dreamy rose]

average Crypto Copium

lemme guess he plays Atlas Earth too?

[manic torrent]

Fuck yeah my LTT screwdriver just arrived... Honestly I am more impressed than I thought I'd be. It feels great.

[vapid cypress]

I just looked up there are tiktok copy pastas with the same scenario with a fake article saying elon musk is giving away 0.3 BTC and they type out a goofy ahh promo code. I think he fell for a scam 😭

But idk how is it a scam yet

[dreamy rose]

LTT was hit by that shit ages ago

[vapid cypress]

But how does it work tho

Like how a promo code scam you

Do they steal your cookies?

[full fossil]

and brownies

[dreamy rose]

beats me, its Crypto shit i stay away from it 24/7

[vapid cypress]

Yeah

[dreamy rose]

like EVERYONE ELSE should too

[vapid cypress]

Also there is no such thing as a free there is always a cost

[full fossil]

I'm surprised people get scammed by that shit

[dreamy rose]

Shouldn't be. people don't know enough about tech that they buy into apple and get suckered into buying 8GB of RAM for 200 dollars

or they buy a 40 series GPU

either one its all a scam

man i wouldn't use a 40 series GPU even if i won it. i'm buying a PC with that money yk what i mean

sell a 4090 to a fool for 4K AUD and get a mean ass 7900XTX system

[vapid cypress]

By proof I mean he showed me a never seen site and when you google it shows pills instead

Bro fell for a scam and I told him that

Well he hasn't deposited the money yet

[manic torrent]

Lol I would buy 8gb ram for $200 just to piss you off.

[dreamy rose]

ay man that jokes on you

[vapid cypress]

You can buy half a steam deck for that money

[manic torrent]

Uhhh

[vapid cypress]

A steam deck sawed in half

[dreamy rose]

thats a good PC.

[manic torrent]

I already have a PC though. I just gave away some spare PC parts

[dreamy rose]

i know. doesn't make the deck NOT a good PC

bruh my caps decided to not work there

[manic torrent]

A steam deck is $1000+ though

[dreamy rose]

for us sure. (thanks for not shipping here valve) but for anyone else? its good

[clear kite]

Can i get thoughts on this build?

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/dy9c4M

[vapid cypress]

Noe

[clear kite]

AUD maybe?

[manic torrent]

In Australia in Australian dollars.

[graceful burrow]

cooler's bad
memory's bad
great case
good psu

[vapid cypress]

Australia isn't real pal

[clear kite]

dollary doos*

[dreamy rose]

any reason to not pick a 7900XTX?

[clear kite]

i thought noctua was good?

[clear kite]

i wanted to try and do animation on blender, and i think AMD isnt quite there yet, right?

[dreamy rose]

are you planning to dive super deep and get a career?

[clear kite]

also, i think vidia is also more efficient right? esp at idle

[graceful burrow]

oh their coolers are great yeah
they're horribly overpriced
thermalright peerless assassin 120se matches it for like a third of the price in some cases

[dreamy rose]

if the answer is No then go buy a 7900XTX. you'll find them a way better deal

[graceful burrow]

if you want something that looks a teensy bit better, deepcool ak620 is great looking, great performing, great price

[polar rock]

gamers i need help deciding on a monitor for my brother for black friday it will run with 1050ti or 6600 (depends how generous i feel) but its valorant roblox so just go 165
what do we think of this because i've never heard of this manufacturer
https://www.amazon.ca/KOORUI-FreeSync-Mountable-1920x1080-DisplayPort/dp/B0BCDD4KTK?th=1

i was thinking of going with the 27" acer nitro but the pixel density becomes kind of bad when you have a larger monitor with 1080p

[dreamy rose]

dude could really just live off of 60 and be fine if hes on Roblox

[polar rock]

nah he wants 120+

i could buy 120 exactly but the prices are the same as 165

[dreamy rose]

why? he doesn't need it, roblox is capped at 60

[polar rock]

unlocker

he also plays non-roblox
roblox is like 25% of his diet

[clear kite]

cool, got some RGB as well.

[clear kite]

i also wanted Ray tracing

[polar rock]

i also want him to buy a new monitor so that i can take back the old monitor that he's using now

[clear kite]

and not worry as much about drivers and stuff, ive heard AMD has minor obstacles?

[dreamy rose]

and thats not Nvidia exlcusive.

[clear kite]

but isnt it better on nvidia?

[graceful burrow]

yes

[polar rock]

Sure

[dreamy rose]

sure. but its not a reason to go buy it.

[graceful burrow]

dont mind bionic he's indignant about his opinions

im sure you can tell lol

[median idol]

I mean he's an AyyMD shill after all

[dreamy rose]

if you are gonna buy an Nvidia over a Radeon it should be because of stuff like Productivity. not because of the name. most of the time people WILL be fine with a Radeon but only want the Nvidia name and list dumb reasons like "oh but its got DLSS and and, RT"

[graceful burrow]

or as always, you can spend your money on what you want

[dreamy rose]

while Radeon has FSR And runs RT just fine, is almost always significantly cheaper and can be found in stock mostly all the time. not to mention that the 7900XTX hasn't skyrocketed to 2 grand

yk. 400 dolalrs OVER MSRP

[clear kite]

im not doing it for the name, im doing it for the better RT performance, better rendering ability an dbetter power efficiency

[dreamy rose]

ok but do you REALLY need it?

just think about it before you buy. do you want an actually better buy or nothing more than a "i own the Nvidia and its best" brag

[clear kite]

for only $300 more, it's more worth it. Let me double check how much faster it is at rendering

[dreamy rose]

notebookcheck

[clear kite]

what;s this using? like what benchmakr or test?

[dreamy rose]

a bunch of modern games, Cyberpunk, Farcrys 5 and 6, Metro Exodus, Witcher 3, F1 22 and 23.

[manic torrent]

I could live with a single 1080p screen ..... But that would be stupid, fuck that.

[dreamy rose]

then theres the actual comparison tool which says this
https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4080-vs-Radeon-RX-7900-XTX_11439_11443.247598.0.html

for 300 dollars less its basically the same, you'd honestly be dumb not to tbh

[clear kite]

yeah, in gaming both are practically even, but nvidia just has more advantages currently

[digital prairie]

The 4080 is better if you're mainly gaming in DLSS titles with ray tracing on.

Otherwise, the 7900XTX is a better buy

[dreamy rose]

yes but are you really gonna pass up 300 dollars off?

[vapid smelt]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/gTRKcH 7900>x3d< faster ram, better cooler, better high capacity ssd and a equivalent fast gen 4 ssd, cheaper 4080*, cheaper case, and a better powersupply all for less money

[dreamy rose]

300 dollars could go to more storage. theres a lot 300 dollars can go to in a PC

[clear kite]

it still has 4080

[vapid smelt]

fuck imeant 4080

[manic torrent]

You could spend $300 on mostly pans

[clear kite]

yeah, i kno that, but just the overall benefit im getting from the nvidia feels like it's worth it. Evenif im not gonna do a career in animation, i want to do it as a hobby, i dont wanna have long wait periods for rendering it

[clear kite]

someones was saing the auss GPUs have lower failure rates

[dreamy rose]

thats what rendering is. long waiting periods.

and doing it as a hobby? Radeon is fine especially of you don't do it every single day but at that point you make it more a career

[vapid smelt]

news too me

[vapid smelt]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/F4kJt7 for 4k aud you could make a 4090 build

Please share as well and put a comment for the algorithm

Poor little linus

Um?

[fallen rover]

Yeah I feel bad for him too

Wish he made more money

Also, how are you guys doing?

[vapid cypress]

My fridge stopped working :(

[fallen rover]

That's sad. Is it the compressor?

My grandpa once had an issue with the compressor, and it was super easy to fix; he got a guy to replace the gas inside

Or the fluid idk which one

[thorn saffron]

is mr. fridge ok

[vapid cypress]

It goes brrrr for a couple of seconds then it turns off

[vapid cypress]

It's in a coma

[fallen rover]

Do you have a technician over at the household?

[thorn saffron]

I hope it'll be ok

[vapid cypress]

Its ugly and old anyways its not even mine

They gave them out for free

Also it's way too short for 4 people

[wise tundra]

The Compensator 4 is faf, didn't use the most expensive water: D2O (heavy water) \jk

(note that 1L (0.22 galons) of D2O costs 1670€ so there's a good reason it's not used)

[polar rock]

bruh what
what do you guys do about psu coil whine

idk how 300$ psu can have coil whine

[clear kite]

yeah, it was a guy in here who said his workplace tests GPUs and the lowest failure ones were ASUS followed by MSI

[clear kite]

isnt i5 better price to performance wise at that level?

[clear kite]

but i dont have to wait as long for $300 more

[full fossil]

My lab literally has a Radeon 7 for a paperweight

[clear kite]

Also, Platinum PSU is better than Titanium, right?

[zenith cradle]

titanium is the best

[clear kite]

danke

[zenith cradle]

i don't think titanium is worth the cost, platinum is often relatively cheap

[clear kite]

yeah, 4% doesnt seem worth the $70 upsell

[zenith cradle]

i'm sure we'll get some class above titanium soon, and titanium becoming more like plat

[clear kite]

thatd be rad, what would the next class be called?

[zenith cradle]

Steel :p

[clear kite]

what site did linus reference a few times to see the reliability of diff hardware products? like how i think he mentioned according to that site 990 pro had a pike in failure rates?

[carmine stirrup]

Plutonium 😄

[rancid sage]

I have a Beelink Mini S12 Pro mini PC and it says on the page that the m.2 slot is "M.2 PCIe X1 SSD". This means that I can only get speeds of around 800MB/s right? That said, if I buy an SSD that supports higher speeds, it will work fine right? I just don't get to those speeds? I don't know if I buy a slower one or if I buy one best so that I can use it in the future on another machine...

[tender wyvern]

OpenAI staff are all quitting and Microsoft is hiring all of them to start their own AI research team 😭😂

[vapid cypress]

Playing black ops 1 on the dolphin emulator, very cool

[fallen rover]

Head on over to the ltt store. Linus media group needs all the support it can get before Christmas

[carmine stirrup]

Correct. All pci-e devices can work on fewer channels

[fallen rover]

The store has a lot of good options for gifts as well

My uncle purchased a decent amount through the October November period

Every bit helps the staff. Come on lads

Also, allowlist ads on their YouTube videos

There's a setting that allows displaying ads on certain channels

Have a nice day guys!

[carmine stirrup]

Are they in trouble and need extra support?

[rancid sage]

ok, so the only thing remaining if it's a good idea to buy a cheaper one or not. I will check the prices

[fallen rover]

Yup. They lost a lot of subscribers recently

It was due to misinformation

But LTT fixed their mistakes

[carmine stirrup]

I thought that they had just under 16 mil before and have about 15.4 mil now

[fallen rover]

Yeah but I watched a video on it

LTT lost a decent chunk of subs recently

So it's very important for us as the core supporters to support them a bit more

[carmine stirrup]

Do you mean how Linus said that viewership was down?

[fallen rover]

Cause remember LTTs fight for right to repair and good information on YouTube... stuff like that doesn't come by itself without good staff and support

Yeah

But there was also an accusation of misinformation recently, but Linus Media Group fixed it and now they are suffering

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah I'm aware of all that

[fallen rover]

But like even the best of us make mistakes

So I don't think LTT should suffer because they stand up for a lot of good things and provide generally really good content

[carmine stirrup]

I agree

[clear kite]

what happened?

[fossil frost]

there was accusations of more than just misinformation

[manic torrent]

yes, but we have all moved on, go watch the Ian Cuttress video where he tells everyone they are idiots, that is basically the summary

[fallen rover]

There were rumors of misinformation, but LTT adressed it in a proper manner

Addressed*

[manic torrent]

When someone is accused of something, you should just set them on fire immediately.

[fallen rover]

Nah. I think LTT deserves another chance

They do a lot of good things for the community

They protect the right to repair

[manic torrent]

I see you are excellent at sarcasm detection

[fossil frost]

no, the misinformation was plain as day to see, in the videos, and was very easy to find and was also pointed out in the comments, and ignored. and was only fixed because it became a problem for people... and then there was the whole situation with madison.. which we will never see the outcome of, because thats a major legal issue that if something comes from it, or, it just goes away, LMG just dont want to have that stuff flair back up again, because THAT could sink them

[fallen rover]

Oh okay. Haha, sorry. English isn't my native language

[fallen rover]

And LTT always goes back and fixes their mistakes by either redoing the video or pinning a comment or adding a description. Also, back in like 2019, Linus did like a live presentation of removing clickbait for their channel (it's titled "Let's Fix Our Click Bait Titles")

So like Linus has always held himself accountable and his staff

So that man has a lot of integrity in my eyes

[fossil frost]

No, that was the problem that was being pointed out, there were videos from weeks before, and months before, and years before, that had not been fixed, and had been just left, and he even said on wan show that they wouldnt get fixed beyond throwing a comment on the video somewhere that would never get noticed

[clear kite]

like was this outside of the HR stuff that came up during the nexus thingo?

[fallen rover]

Yup

[fossil frost]

if you believe that they did nothing wrong, you are being wilfully ignorant... yes they are doing better now, but they definitely had problems in the past, and still have problems now... you can like LTT, and enjoy LTT videos, and still think they have done wrong, and still do wrong, they are not mutually exclusive opinions

[clear kite]

didnt hear of other drama after that

[fallen rover]

That is a valid point, but Linus didn't do anything wrong. He has an internal meeting where he talked to the staff about the issues, and they were going to fix it. The reason why he dealt with it privately is because he wanted to reduce the drama that would ensue

[clear kite]

yeah, and doing wrong and being good people isnt necesarily mutually exclusive either (within reasons of what teh wrong doing is ofc)

[fossil frost]

Linus ran the company, and he said his management style is that everything goes through him, and that management style was the problem... if you watch the last video before the break, and the first video back from the break, he openly admits that HE is the cause of many of the problems, and hiring the new CEO is part of fixing the problems

[fossil frost]

yeah, you can do wrong and not know you are doing wrong, or, you can do wrong on purpose, or, you can just make mistakes... one of those 3 is verging on "evil", 2 of those are forgivable IF you choose to learn from them when they are pointed out

[fallen rover]

Exactly. So back in the covid times, Linus got very sad and made a video about potentially quitting. But this transition proved to be better because the new CEO used to work with him before, and having a CEO will just mean that we'll see more of Linus

[clear kite]

yeah, just sadly at the time Linus or LTT was absorbed by the rat race of content

[fallen rover]

Because then Linus will have more time to work directly instead of running the company

The video in question is called I've been thinking of retiring

Nevermind, I was wrong. The video is from January 2020, just before covid

[fossil frost]

no, not that video, the video before the 10 day break... the video where literally everyone on camera says that "the crunch" which is something linus enforces/enforced, is the cause of the problems. Linus, his management style, how he ran the company, how we chooses to work, is the reason that a lot of the problems were there. and the reason that corrections were not re-recorded, he said that "why would i waste time doing that when i could just put a comment on it and spend that time making a new video"

again, beliving that linus isnt at fault for the problems in his own company, a company that bears his name, with problems that everyone, including his own wife, blame on him... is just ignorant

[fallen rover]

That is what Linus is doing. Back in 2019 he even went as far as to go back and change video titles to make them more informative

[fossil frost]

tbh, im done with talking to you, you have made up your mind that everyone else (including linus himself, and his wife, and the new ceo) is wrong, and that you are right, and that LMG are infallible

[carmine stirrup]

I don't really see raafje as saying that. Honestly, you both seem to be in agreement by and large, just have different viewpoints.

[clear kite]

sorry to divert, but i assume both AMD 5000 and AMD 7000 are chiplet CPUs, right?

[green kernel]

breadchat

[carmine stirrup]

I'm glad that Linus took time to reflect, though there is still one video that they haven't fixed that bugs the piss out of me. It's that one with the computer in the desk from the finnish company. They kept quoting the price of the desk as fully built with a PC in it, not the empty desk with nothing inside (which is what htey were building in).

[fallen rover]

I know you lads don't agree with my points, but I stand by the fact that Linus has integrity because he made a video back in 2019 titled "Let's Fix Our Click Bait Titles - GoXLR Showcase"

[carmine stirrup]

That's the word

[carmine stirrup]

I totally think Linus has integrity. I also think he went astray a bit, but he's making a solid effort at correction

[wispy marsh]

Linus definitely has integrity.

[flat wren]

hello boys con someone help me

idk how true this is, but i think AMD 5000 might be better performance

[clear kite]

on that, i was wondering why AMD 5000 is so much more efficient at idle compared to AMD 7000?

[flat wren]

but i dont like amd tbh

[clear kite]

that;s fair, mind if i ask why?

[carmine stirrup]

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't really researched that

[clear kite]

do you know any resource that might be good for me to look through about it?

[carmine stirrup]

it depends on the price, tbh. Is it a new build?

[flat wren]

yes

[carmine stirrup]

hmmm... I remember someone doing a comparison of processor power at different states recently. It was probably steve from GN or maybe Tom's Hardware

[clear kite]

ill check them out, thanks

[carmine stirrup]

I don't think I'd get the 4060Ti

[flat wren]

ok what do you prefer

4070

[slim creek]

if the 4060 ti can’t beat the 2080 ti then its not worth it

[clear kite]

really? it cant beat that?

[carmine stirrup]

Well, if you're OK with an AMD GPU, you can get a 6800XT for the same price

The 4060Ti beats the 2080Ti by a hair (on average)

but a Radeon 6800XT CRUSHSES it

[clear kite]

ALso, as for the CPU, might the i5 12th or 13th gen be cheaper than the 11th gen i9?

[slim creek]

I should get a 6800xt

bro its only $500 CAD

[carmine stirrup]

right?

I haven't bought an AMD GPU in 18 years, but I'm not paying the Nvidia tax anymore

[flat wren]

The Pc Cost 1400 EURO

[carmine stirrup]

7900xtx beats 4090 in a lot of scenarios for 40% less

[slim creek]

ill probably get a motherboard that can support two gpus

so i can have my 3060 and add a 6800xt

[carmine stirrup]

That's my plan. I want to run my 4070Ti and 7900xtx in the same system for kicks. I have a 1300W PSU, so it can deliver the juice

[slim creek]

having a monster pc like that would be great

[clear kite]

also, at that point, if one is mainly gaming and not going to do other stuff, not worth paying so much more for a 4090, not unless you get a real good deal, but even then, power consumption

[carmine stirrup]

My 4070Ti may eventually make it's way into my monster xeon system, but yah, for now that would rock

[slim creek]

how many cores

[carmine stirrup]

Facts

[carmine stirrup]

44 cores 88 threads

[slim creek]

what do you do with it

[clear kite]

just watch youtube vids

jokes

[carmine stirrup]

RIght now it spends most of its time running Folding@home helping with altzheimers research, but I plan to use it as my own AI machine running stable diffusion and LLMs

[slim creek]

damn

[carmine stirrup]

It's a pretty sweet rig if I do say so myself

[clear kite]

wow, that;s neat as. Im aimingto hopefully get into some neuroscience research

[slim creek]

I like how modern pcs struggle to run older games

[carmine stirrup]

Retro pc building ftw

[clear kite]

do they? the only problem ive come across is trying to mount what older games i have as virtual disks

[slim creek]

I get 80 fps in ark 😔

I can’t beat the living shit out of dinos with high fps

[clear kite]

oh

honestly, i dont think ive expreinced more thank 60fps yet

[carmine stirrup]

Really old games relied on the cpu speed for timing, so ancient stuff runs so fast you can't play it now

[slim creek]

what

how

[clear kite]

never had a gaming PC, apart from 2 laptops that were able to play some level of AAA games pretty decently.

right now, im literally only running on a second hand thinkpad

[carmine stirrup]

Even on a 60Hz monitor, 100FPS is noticeably better

mostly having to do with 1% lows and frame timing

[slim creek]

my friend has a 1650 super and he uses a 175hz monitor 💀

[carmine stirrup]

I mean.. in csgo and overwatch he'd get good fps

[clear kite]

ive connected my intel UHD 620 to a 120hz monitor

[carmine stirrup]

lol

madman

[clear kite]

im not mad tho, since starting emulation, it's been enough to emulate PS2 games

mad as in upset

[fierce moth]

Me with an actual ps2

[vapid cypress]

pee2

[clear kite]

but can you play it on the go?

[fierce moth]

People made ps2 portables

[vapid cypress]

I use my steam deck for emulation

[fierce moth]

Similar to the wii

[clear kite]

how much are those tho?

not as cheap as a 2nd hand thinkpad i bet

[fierce moth]

600 bucks

But assuming you have competent skills you can do it yourself

[clear kite]

make a DIY PS2? sure, but i dont think id be able to make it cheaper than $100

which reminds me, how is windows on ARM going? id be down for a ARM winsows handheld. COuld probably emulate almost anything on that

[fierce moth]

I suppose it depends on your needs

I'm the kind of guy to like playing on original hardware

[clear kite]

nah that;s fair. if i could afford it and the PS2 i had still worked, id probs use it too

[fierce moth]

I got a ps2 for 50 aud

It depends where you look

Facebook marketplace still has a ton of good deals

[vapid cypress]

That's cool if you have the space to hoard every console ever

[clear kite]

ive paid enough for consoles and stuff at this point, i should get to indulge what i have without extra paying

[fierce moth]

Okay I don't have that many consoles

Specifically Sony I have a phat ps2 and a phat ps3

[vapid cypress]

👍

[fierce moth]

Let's not talk abt Nintendo consoles tho

[vapid cypress]

The steam deck has like the most user friendly emulating

[clear kite]

i wish i could justify paying so much for a steamdeck

i think the cheapest handheld for emulation atm is ayn odin 2

[vapid cypress]

It's more powerful than my PC so I'd say very much justifiable

[fierce moth]

I have a gc, wii, wii u, switch, gba, gbc and 3ds

[vapid cypress]

I also had disposable income

[fierce moth]

I have problems

[vapid cypress]

Indeed

[fierce moth]

And I still want to get a, nes, snes and n64

[vapid cypress]

I'm playing black ops 1 on the wii (emulated) rn

[fierce moth]

Specificly a snes cause I wanna play a couple of rpg's on the thing

[vapid cypress]

Pretty fun

[fierce moth]

I played that years ago

It was my first cod experience lol

[clear kite]

i might be more justified in getting lenovo legion go, i think, because that is windows, so i could use that as a plug in PC

Black Ops 1 was pretty goat, imo

[vapid cypress]

You can dual boot the steam deck

Also steam oled is probably the best time to get one if you don't already have a steam deck

[clear kite]

😮

curious, how long does the battery last on those things?

[summer folio]

13:37 EU!

[vapid cypress]

I stay plugged in most of the time so idk really

[clear kite]

fair

man kinda crazy how powerful and efficient these chips are becoming, and with ARM development, seems like we'll have powerhouse windows-based handhelds very soon

[cursive furnace]

Damn, I missed it 😅

[harsh quartz]

The legion go looked like a good alternative to the steam deck, but I’m Ngl the oled version made me rethink that

[clear kite]

i wish i could get a $7 swicth

[carmine stirrup]

ID Cooling AIOs are soooooo much better than Coolermaster

which is ironic because they're not an especially noteworthy brand.
My 22 Core Xeons run under 40C in a 10min cinebench test while getting a 32,000+ score

I bet with better fans I could keep them under 35C

[indigo trellis]

why

[polar fern]

You really don’t know?

[full fossil]

I don't think I've ever talked in public chat

[full fossil]

Both are mid

[carmine stirrup]

I don't know about that...

The fans ID Cooling AIOs come with are pretty terrible.

[harsh quartz]

Or just get an arctic

[carmine stirrup]

but I'm able to keep my 12900K under 75C in a 30 minute cinebench with a 360mm ID Cooling AIO + AsiaHorse fans. Considering the price of ID Cooling AIOs, I think they have pretty impressive price to performance

[carmine stirrup]

Rather than an AIO you mean?

[harsh quartz]

?

An arctic AIO

[carmine stirrup]

does arctic make AIOs?

ahh

[harsh quartz]

All I’m aware of arctic making is their AIOs

[carmine stirrup]

Hard to beat this price, tho

that being said, I have a phanteks coming that I want to compare against my 360mm ID Cooling

[summer nova]

I should buy a lian li case

[carmine stirrup]

Yes 🙂

[sudden bough]

ok i need ideas of what to use my old pc for

its been sitting around for like2 years ;c

waiting... longing to be used again

[carmine stirrup]

What are its specs?

[sudden bough]

uh idk even more its lower end ;d

i'm prolly gonna turn it into a server ;d

[carmine stirrup]

Do you need a fileserver?

or maybe a plex server

[sudden bough]

yeah imma convert my rasberry pi into a pihole and use the comptuer as a server on my tv

just like a full on linux os though

[carmine stirrup]

CasaOS is pretty fun

you can install and manage all sorts of useful VMs

[sudden bough]

😐

[stable birch]

Has LTT or another tech/gaming channel done a tiny house/shed build for a gaming focused office?

[molten drift]

Is 10$ a movie a good deal for the back to the future trilogy

[vapid cypress]

Cring

[iron mango]

I wouldn't udr that one and go with the better and more reliable option Noctua NH-D15 Chromax of course

[carmine stirrup]

I wouldn't either, I was just showing that an Arctic air cooler

Though I'd never buy one of those big chonky Noctua coolers. It doesn't fit my aesthetic

[iron mango]

Yeah. ngl it's too big and ur room gets toasty pretty quick.

[carmine stirrup]

I'm an AIO girl. I like the clean look they give

[iron mango]

I'd love to be a "Custom liquid cooling guy" but my wallet says otherwise

[median idol]

I've built a few of them

It does add up pretty quick in price (fittings especially)

Fittings can be the most you can spend on if you want minimal bends

[iron mango]

Yeah. Specially the blocks and pump @median idol

[sudden bough]

You can get it for free but yes probably

[molten drift]

I can't get them for free?

[sudden bough]

🏴‍☠️

[molten drift]

I don't pirate

[sudden bough]

😐

[molten drift]

Also if I was going to pirate I don't have the means to make a 4k blu ray

So... It's more financially viable to just pay the 30$ for the back to the future trilogy on 4k.blu ray and not risk any crimes.

[sudden bough]

Blue ray. Idk why I would when I could just do digital

[molten drift]

Because the living room does not have a PC

[sudden bough]

USB drive

[molten drift]

Nah I'll just use my existing hardware

Legally too.

[upbeat siren]

U could prolly get it for a bit cheaper if u searched more but ig its a decent deal

[molten drift]

It's 30$ on sale at Amazon

[upbeat siren]

New or used?

[molten drift]

New

[upbeat siren]

Is it like a special edition steel book or sum like that or just normal blu rays

[molten drift]

It's the 25th.anniverseary trilogy

[sudden bough]

Check Walmart

[upbeat siren]

U could prolly get it for like 5-7$ cheaper on ebay but me personally id rather buy stuff on amazon so id say its worth it

[molten drift]

I mean Amazon will have it here tomorrow....

[upbeat siren]

Yeah and i think its more reliable too

[gilded quest]

Didn't feel usage of Facebook and Instagram was all that healthy, and once I stopped using their stuff I noticed a severe reduction in my targeted ads

[vapid cypress]

If that's a crime then I'm a fugitive on the run

[molten drift]

Word I'm already losing weight after 8 days of stopping fast food and 5 days of stopping soda. It's not a lot but so happy to see progress

[spice pine]

Cutting out soda alone does wonders for you lmao

[gilded quest]

Maybe I'm nostalgic but I love using blu ray

Speaking of which I gotta rip all my UHD blu-ray at some point

[sudden bough]

:d

[spice pine]

Good luck with that... 4K Blu Rays are kinda dead in the water on PC now

[valid patio]

Anyone use it have used the g9

[gilded quest]

Ehhh
Not that dead in the US

[sudden bough]

I don’t think I’ve purchased physical media for like 15 years

[gilded quest]

I only buy stuff in physical that I really care about

Or I think will look very good in 4k HDR on OLED

Last Blu-ray I think I bought was spiderverse

I might pick up spiderverse 2

[spice pine]

Oh, the platform itself is alive and well, I love my 4K Blu Rays, but you need a very specific type of drive and encoders on your PC to rip them apparently. I looked into it a few months ago and it was basically "If you don't have XYZ type of drive and XYZ feature on your CPU, have fun."

[gilded quest]

Ooo yeah

Hence why I haven't done it for UHD yet

[gilded quest]

Imma guess you need an Intel cpu

[spice pine]

Yep

my poor Ryzen 3600 build..

[gilded quest]

Lmao

My roommate and I both use Intel for our desktops

[spice pine]

honestly, I feel no need to upgrade any of my PC parts, and I think the only pc-adjacent thing I'm gonna be buying in the next few years will be a Mac Mini and KVM

[molten drift]

I mean I was spending on average 158$ USD a month on fast food so their were several reasons to make. The changes

[pliant karma]

lol dbrand package made it out of York, PA alive hopefully but it'll be here ahh prob by wednesday

[molten drift]

Given dbrand ships plastic and leather I think it's dead

[pliant karma]

[molten drift]

How ya been panda.

[pliant karma]

can always haggle with support for free stuff

lol like me begging for a free teardown trackpad skin which they said MAYBE so if they did include it haha that would be awesome.

[pliant karma]

so far vibing you?

[molten drift]

Losing weight. Trying to figure out a possible upgrade to get better performance in second life... And crawling closer to the end of work in 4:57...

Getting super excited for the extra 150$ a month in my.budget by removing soda and fast food.

[pliant karma]

nice

[molten drift]

I am so out of the tech space that I have no idea what to do for the upgrade

Is ddr6 a thing yet?

[full fossil]

No it's not @molten drift

[molten drift]

Thanks

Well ram is ok I guess hmm. Maybe it's the CPU is next upgrade spot. As I am getting ok fps?

[arctic sun]

hey im looking to buy a 1440p 240hz monitor mostly for gaming but should also be great for watching content and work. Should I buy the Samsung G7 or the Dell Alienware AW2723DF (should have awesome image quality, dont care about the price if its less than 570$). Or are these trash and there is a better monitor for my uses?

[sudden bough]

😐 i want the machined aluminum and brass screwdriver 😐

[molten drift]

I have 32gb ddr5 6000 so I guess it should be ok not sure about much

[graceful burrow]

Plenty of machining services out there, plenty of free cad software

[sudden bough]

but its ltt

The monitor is the compensator 4 i've seen IRL at microcenter

its biggu

[vapid cypress]

Half life 100 year aniversarry when

[spice pine]

75 years from now, probably.

[sudden bough]

that is when HL3 will come out 😐

[spice pine]

(incorrect)

[vapid cypress]

I'll be probably be bones by then

What if they discover immortality and then I become the oldest person forever
