maybe

[pallid falcon]

(tho i'd reccomend quest over apples)

sometimes glasses dont work to well

[quiet jetty]

They do taste pretty good thou

[graceful burrow]

Glasses do taste pretty good you rite

[pallid falcon]

nom nom

[quiet jetty]

Eyes go blink blink and see stuff

Ez

[pallid falcon]

they go burr

[grizzled solar]

lol

idk man, i just overclock stuff

[raven mauve]

After watching the reviews of it I can confidently say, it’s not worth 3500 bucks

It’s basically an iPad strapped to your face

What is bro yapping about

Jokes on you I can’t read

How you like them apples

[fossil frost]

calling in the mods because you just dont like somebody... thats how you get yourself banned... grown a spine and just ignore people you dont like

[raven mauve]

That wasn’t an opinion 🤡

Silly lil guy

[fossil frost]

this server and channel, isnt all about you and what you want... you dont want to see something.. you have a button that stops you from seeing it

[raven mauve]

How about you frankly log off lil bro

[fossil frost]

the truth really is... apple are a company and can make whatever product they think will sell to their customers, and whatever you want personally, doesnt matter

[quiet jetty]

Why are you guys beefin about the vrchat device

[raven mauve]

Yall like chocolate or powdered donuts more?

[fossil frost]

thats your opinion, going up against a multi TRILLION dollar company, who has a multi-BILLION dollar marketing and research budget... you think they havnt looked into this themselves?

[restive lion]

I find it hard to take what you're saying serious when you mix these two things. There are very well proven markets for AR devices in the business world

[fossil frost]

you think anything apple does is a knee-jerk reaction? or do you think they have spent millions or billions, just to figure out if its even worth them trying?

[quiet jetty]

I used it for a desktop and it was good, I like having 4 displays in a hotel

[restive lion]

(The Vision Pro definitely can't be in its current state)

[fossil frost]

you seem to be proving otherwise with your comments

[raven mauve]

🍞

[restive lion]

Could future iterations of it? That remains to be seen, but probably, assuming Apple cares about that at all

[quiet jetty]

Also vtubing has huge potential if apple allows it

Then my dream of being Hatsune Miku playing dark souls 3 would come into fruition

[raven mauve]

Why are you taking this so personally lmao

[restive lion]

Not yet anyways

[raven mauve]

You just described how consumerism works dingus

[quiet jetty]

You have officially lost the debate and have degraded from debate to grade school squabble

[restive lion]

However the headset that Apple put out is significantly more powerful than a phone so i don't really think that the phone argument is relevant

[quiet jetty]

Ggs imma eat taco bell

[full fossil]

,

[raven mauve]

Buy me some

💊 here’s a chill pill for ya

[restive lion]

You can, in fact, blender on the processor inside the AVP, so it's just a matter of the software adopting it in a way that makes sense (hint: there's a reason headsets are typically only used to view 3d models)

[raven mauve]

I feel like I’m watching a bunch of raccoons with internet access have a conversation

[restive lion]

There's uh, a lot of shit takes flying both ways here

[raven mauve]

True

You’ve said nothing constructive big guy

[night heron]

youre wrong im right

[raven mauve]

Lil bro do me a favor and log off for a few hours

[ionic abyss]

had another crash

hope it isnt ram

yes

[raven mauve]

I’ve been having that issue too

[night heron]

ryzen processor?

[ionic abyss]

pfh crorrupt

[raven mauve]

Can’t figure out what’s causing it

[ionic abyss]

intel 12700k

[night heron]

weird

[restive lion]

Idk mate you've pretty clearly just shown that you hate it because it's an Apple product, which doesn't really belong in a conversation about its viability in the MR world

[raven mauve]

I was modding Minecraft to be fair though

[ionic abyss]

ddu graphiss driver now

im reinstalling graphics driver firsty

then windohs

installing gpu driver runing windohs memory tests

[restive lion]

The AVP is also a first generation product, which Apple has pretty clearly demonstrated in the past will become something much better with later revisions.

Except that you're wrong?

[ionic abyss]

i love computers when they work

[restive lion]

And multiple people have told you this, with varying levels of evidence?

[ionic abyss]

windohs install should fix any software issue

[night heron]

im looking at their best mixed reality headset and its display is worse than the vision pro and it costs more

[restive lion]

I could have told you this before the conversation started lol

[night heron]

it's 4000 euros and has a mini led display

micro oled offers substantially better motion clarity

[dark cove]

Bread.

[night heron]

which is important for mixed reality

[restive lion]

The no-controller thing in particular is something no one else has been able to do well, and it's exceedingly important to future advancements in MR for the business world

[restive lion]

FWIW I say this as someone who needs these advancements in the field I work in

[ionic abyss]

i hope the ram isnt failing

but ram failing is unlikely

[restive lion]

The AVP could be extremely useful to us once the software is available (and if we can get generic face mask things lol)

[night heron]

you officially just lost the argument

quality of life is very important for the user experience

not everyone is willing to throw away performance and qol just because they dont like a particular company

[neon moat]

light switch is a hell of a lot more reliable

[night heron]

this reminds me of how you used to recommend people radeon gpus for productive workloads, knowing full well that they suck for that task, just because you dont like nvidia

[neon moat]

not really

a lot more points of failure in a voice activated switch

[night heron]

yes generally apple does provide a better quality of life and ecosystem which is how their devices became so popular despite having far less compatibility with niche software

[restive lion]

Ok but that's really not wrong? Apple puts an insane amount of work into the QOL of the user experience

[ionic abyss]

running sfc scannow

[full fossil]

wassup guy

[ionic abyss]

me being worried by crashes

[neon moat]

voice activated switches are less reliable in practice though

[restive lion]

You're kind of just repeating your stance that you dislike everything Apple simply because it's made by Apple, without any further look at the devices

[ionic abyss]

apple sucks

[restive lion]

No ones arguing that point

[night heron]

apple's business practices are anti-consumer but some of the things they make are objectively good

[restive lion]

Mate I've read the entire conversation and your points are significantly less strong and clear then you seem to think

[night heron]

their system dram being integrated in the processor is quite frankly revolutionary for a consumer product, they just massively overcharge for it

you can have 8x the memory bandwidth of a dual channel ddr5 setup with the top sku

[ionic abyss]

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

what the f

[night heron]

even a 12 channel ddr5 epyc platform only has barely more than half of the memory bandwidth of the M2 Max, and those systems require multiple minutes to boot because because of extensive memory training

they have the right idea but their prices are extremely anti consumer

[restive lion]

In the same way that you've clearly shown that you can't be trusted to provide a proper opinion on anything that Apple has created...

[night heron]

bionic hasnt even touched hardware made in the last 10 years anyway

he runs a sandybridge laptop

[spice pine]

oh is BSS back?

[night heron]

he doesnt even view things that way

he tells people to buy radeon cards for 3d rendering because he doesnt like nvidia

[restive lion]

Ok mate whatever you say

[night heron]

nope

he used to tell them to get radeon cards for productivity solely because he doesnt like nvidia

he got muted for a whole month not long ago

[ionic abyss]

woot windohs memory test says hardware issues

fun fun fun till dady takes my wallet away lol

should i pickup a 2x16gb set of ram of a 4x8gb set

[night heron]

nvidia can use fsr3 too

[night heron]

2 dimms is better for performance and stability

it's best to only have one memory stick per memory channel if possible

if you have to run four sticks on mainstream for capacity then it is what it is but it hurts performance and stability

idk i aint readin allat

[ionic abyss]

what is a good set of ddr4

rgb or non rgb

cost is a issue

sad thing is i aint 100% sure its ram issue

but windohs memory test indicated hardware problems

[night heron]

have you tried running the memory at the stock 2133 jedec speed and seeing if the issue still happens

[ionic abyss]

right now i have 4 8gb sticks with 1 mismatch

ill upgrade to 3600 or so

is this good enough https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-sl-32gb-2pk-x-16gb-3600mhz-ddr4-c18-dimm-desktop-memory-black/6457797.p?skuId=6457797

restart for bios update

[sweet osprey]

Help, what is this, what do i do with this

[dark cove]

U dont 😂

[sweet osprey]

What does that mean

Im trying to install truenas

[manic torrent]

RTFM

[sweet osprey]

Huh??

[spice pine]

Try the RTFM method

[sweet osprey]

What is that, whats rtfm

[manic torrent]

RTFM to RTFM

LMGTFY

PEBKAC

[sweet osprey]

What do those letters mean

[night heron]

problem exists between keyboard and chair

read the fucking manual

[sweet osprey]

I work with fries and burgers, i dont know these IT terminology yet

[night heron]

idk what lmgtfy is

[manic torrent]

you can use the LMGTFY method to find out

[night heron]

i googled it :p

[ionic abyss]

Ram was set to 2933 for some reason

[night heron]

i told you what they mean

rtfm is read the fucking manual and pebcak is problem exists beteween chair and keyboard

hes calling you an idiot in a discrete way

[sweet osprey]

💀 lmao
Manual where, its an os not a car

[ionic abyss]

ram was set to 2933 wich is odd

[graceful burrow]

Almost everything has a manual.
https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.3-U5/freenas.html

That one may not be the correct one due to the different versions of truenas that exist*

[ionic abyss]

running uefi memory test

Phone not as nice as pc for discord

[sweet osprey]

Ok did what the manual said now this popped up

[night heron]

real

the discord mobile app was genuinely good like two years ago and it sucks today

actual regression

[echo canopy]

discord mobile app fell off when the android client switched to react native

[night heron]

been on discord long enough to see it go from featureless and sucky to good and now sucky again

(the mobile app)

[sweet osprey]

Oh great apparently balena etcher is the issue now

[echo canopy]

im saying it again but fr i couldnt use the android client for like a month

[manic torrent]

no they have reasons, you just don't know what they are

[graceful burrow]

Did you make sure you were following the correct one, I gave a disclaimer right after that the manual may not be the correct version for what you had

[sweet osprey]

Yeah someone in #linux had another manual too, looked up the issue apparently it has something to do with how balena writes the iso into the usb

[manic torrent]

no, I am trying to understand it.

I'm not saying they are GOOD reasons.

[cedar pebble]

It always sucks when a feature you’re used to gets removed

[night heron]

i have no idea what the reasoning could be but i know that the user experience is substantially worse

[manic torrent]

because fuck you, that's why!

[night heron]

it uses a unique theme that's not available on either the desktop browser or app version, and accessing the member list in servers is a pain in the ass

[cedar pebble]

Searching is also annoying

[left summit]

Me and my mom were going through photos of her as a child and omg. she was so pretty as a child.

[graceful burrow]

My parents looked so of their era back then

[lilac bear]

your first mistake was asking here

[north escarp]

Lmao

[rotund raptor]

bread 👍

[north escarp]

If I had to guess an old dev wrote code a new dev couldn't modify, so in the mix of changes they had to do some moving around and Maybe broke a reference and then had to rebuild the code. And or whoever makes decisions said this is better do it and the dev just did as told who knows

But it has been a cruddier feel on mobile last few months

Mayhaps couldn't say

[ionic abyss]

Repeated rams

Reseated

Ruining definitely mem tests

Running

Uefi nit Definitely

[full fossil]

Love the reviews on the new Microcenter that's opening, lol

[median idol]

Congrats on the MC. It's a real God send

[ionic abyss]

Why must pcs have issues

It's rare to have memory failures

Most of the time ram outlives the pc

Pokes chat with a baguette

[hazy parrot]

They usually don’t, at least not for long. If the problem is not, initial the problem is software

[ionic abyss]

Window reinstall soon

[hazy parrot]

You won’t believe how many people shill parts but can’t find their ass from their appdata directory

Good, never a bad idea

[ionic abyss]

5 min on uefi test

Isn't appdata under users name then local or is it roaming

Mem test passed

Mobo passed uefi

[grand agate]

is this the right chat to ask a question about monitors?

[ionic abyss]

Back to windohs

[full fossil]

Yeah I'm super excited to build my first PC when it opens

[full fossil]

You'd be better off in one of the tech chats

[graceful burrow]

not really, tc1 is a cesspool rn and tc2 is dead

[full fossil]

I always get help there pretty easily

[graceful burrow]

you dont want help from tc1 rn
better to ask in tc2 and be patient

[full fossil]

Ah, you said rn. My bad

[graceful burrow]

or just go to the monitor enthusiasts discord

[night heron]

does such a thing exist

[full fossil]

I even started a fund to save up for any potential opening deals

[graceful burrow]

yes

[night heron]

i mean im in a monitor discord but it's a patreon server

if the one youre talking about is for r/monitors then it's probably full of nutjobs

[ionic abyss]

so ram must have rgb to be any good correct?

[graceful burrow]

if you're vapid and trite ye

[ionic abyss]

show me a good sub $100 set of 32gb ddr4

[dark cove]

atleast they being honnest

[graceful burrow]

no, they're being as purposefully vague as they possibly can within the limits of the law, dont get it twisted

[summer folio]

Was the Logitech "Hyperboom" Bluetooth speaker plugged into power outlet in the LTT Video btw?
My Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 1? at least can play much louder when plugged into the wall.
It do die when you remove the power plug tho, have to restart it for it to go back to battery.

[dark cove]

Ok

[summer folio]

Linus commented about how the Logitech Hyperboom bluetooth speakers played quietly

[dark cove]

Ok

[summer folio]

He's just a noob

[dark cove]

Ok

You're spamming @full fossil

[dark cove]

How tf is that spamming

I dont understand anything so im just saying ok

[summer folio]

[ionic abyss]

why does netflix crash my pc but i can play games no issues

[graceful burrow]

hdcp handoff idk

[ionic abyss]

ram will be replaced

then windohs reinstalled

[summer folio]

Yeah, my 75hz computer screen go black if I start playing Netflix

Netflix forces me to use 60 hz

kek

Netflix is malware

[native crag]

Do you ever have days when you bash your head in to debug a Powershell script? FFS, there's a reason I don't program as a daily job

[still olive]

Hi I need help when ever I open a game or are playing it amd bug report opens up and my games crash it says a amd driver time-out. What can I do please help last time I asked people just laughed at me.

[native crag]

You asked the wrong people, that's why they laughed at you

[still olive]

Who do I ask then

[native crag]

The AMD error is probably the Video Drivers crashing

[polar fern]

I make a sincere attempt not to bash in my head over anything

Squarespace, putting squares into spaces

[polar fern]

@still olive I would check windows update, and the optional updates which could have the drivers you were looking for after that you might have to go into the device manager for the video card thingy and update it from there and also the website for the graphics card or chip manufacturer could have what you were looking for but definitely start with Windows optional updates

[still olive]

I checked but there only an update for my monitor

[polar fern]

Do that one first then then

[lusty echo]

hi ladies

[still olive]

I'm doing it now

[polar fern]

👍

[lusty echo]

bread 👍

[still olive]

I've downloaded the drivers from amd adrenalin edition so there up to date

[polar fern]

In device manager you should be able to find the video adapter & see if it has an updated driver

[still olive]

I went there and pressed updated driver and it took me to windows update but the driver didn't show up

[polar fern]

If that doesn’t update automatically, then you go to the graphics card manufacturer site & do it manually

[still olive]

I'll try that again

[polar fern]

And make sure to restart the computer between these steps

I have had issues resolve themselves just by restarting

[still olive]

Where do I go for amd drivers for my 5500 cpu it doesn't have a igpu I only have a main gpu

[polar fern]

I’m not sure what you mean

[still olive]

I was just wondering if my cpu doesn't have integrated graphics do I need to find specific drivers for that to

[polar fern]

If your processor has integrated graphics, that will be bypassed if you have a graphics card plugged in

They don’t share the lanes unless you have a specific board that allows it

[still olive]

But do I need drivers for my cpu and where can I get them it's a 5500

[polar fern]

No that would be a bios thing not drivers

Gotta love how terrible the speech to text is 😎

[still olive]

Agree

[limber sun]

Perhaps LMG should truly ban any business with Eight Sleep.

I recently interviewed at Eight Sleep and it was the most demanding take home I've ever had. Their brief: "Create an in-app experience for a new product, integrating the existing app and flagship product." Even linked their design system and font family to use.

The problem there is that twitter is a giant heap of crap and doesn't give you the thread if you're not logged in

[limber sun]

What a tough life.

[restive lion]

Yeah twitter is rather useless these days

I'm not really sure what's wrong with this though

[limber sun]

Multiple accounts of people going through this and Eight Sleep taking their work for free seems pretty unethical.

[restive lion]

It's not like they can use your code and just put it into their app

(They actually can't since the code doesn't belong to them)

[opal thunder]

Update on the scam that I was talking about yesterday lol I put in some random information besides my age, phone number, and name. So they call me and I can screw around

Kind of regret putting my actual name a bit tho

[still olive]

You should see if you could scam them for money

[opal thunder]

No

I will never scam someone no matter how much of a scumbag they are.

[restive lion]

you've basically just become a row in an excel sheet to be sold to scammers

[opal thunder]

Perfect

[restive lion]

I only realized that they might be doing that after I sent the email but it is also something fun

I always check what phone number the actual company uses and never give information they wouldnt ask for lol

[pallid falcon]

Hey @tender glade or @karmic flame Can one of you help me 🙏

lost access to the toast channel this morning and it's not come back 🙏

[restive lion]

have you checked id:customize

err, id:browse

[pallid falcon]

I have, don't have either Floatplane option

Checked both my FP sub and stuff

I think I need to loose the role and get it re-added?

[shut lichen]

What

Make sure it's actually in your channel list

[vapid smelt]

#pilot-toast click it

[opal thunder]

If it says no access that would be omega funny

[restive lion]

lmao

[opal thunder]

Lmao

[shut lichen]

The hell

[restive lion]

actually denied access

[shut lichen]

Reload your discord?

[opal thunder]

Ctrl R

[pallid falcon]

it's occuring on both mobile & pc [desktop, web]

plus alreayd even tried reinstalling the client

tried a VPN also

[shut lichen]

Why would you think a VPN would solve such a thing lol

[pallid falcon]

Specturm might be fucking up the connection

or region shit

[vapid smelt]

damn, ngl i thought it was a skill issue

[opal thunder]

Lol

Same

[restive lion]

yeah thats a weird one considering you have the access role

[pallid falcon]

No. it's literally just "denied"

[restive lion]

someone must've manually removed your access or something

[pallid falcon]

qwq

[restive lion]

banished to pleb land

[shut lichen]

The only thing that would make any sense is that someone has specifically set up user permissions for the category to deny your access

[ionic abyss]

sfc /scannow found no issues

[pallid falcon]

and no, channel and roles don't even see it

[still olive]

Have you upset any one lately

[sage quiver]

so bizarre

[pallid falcon]

i dunno

probs lol

[restive lion]

upset the langley man (said surrey was better)

[pallid falcon]

fr fr

I initally thought it was related to https://discordstatus.com/incidents/71j3z706lz8c as that is around when it started

but like kinda never fixed after resolved

[sage quiver]

assuming you tried to re-link on the fp site?

[polar fern]

🤔

[sage quiver]

I guess I can just cycle the role manually

[pallid falcon]

ok

[sage quiver]

try now?

[pallid falcon]

omg its back thank you

[restive lion]

oh huh i can see the name in the user list when mentioning in the pilot channel

[sage quiver]

[pallid falcon]

IM CONFUSED

must've been some weird caching thing

[polar fern]

🎉🥳🎊

Welcome back

[pallid falcon]

ty ty ty 🙏

[restive lion]

dont ever let anyone fool you into thinking discord is a stable platform

[pallid falcon]

[polar fern]

Well

[pallid falcon]

that is truely something wild

[polar fern]

Since the pandemic started the active user base has grown massively

So, not surprised

[pallid falcon]

true 🥹

i wonder what the hell happened tho to cause that?

[restive lion]

nah discord issues are entirely self caused

like the hundreds of times theyve pushed bad code late on a friday

[pallid falcon]

they're just trying to push it to the on-call crew to finish

:3

[polar fern]

It happens all the time

[winged folio]

im training for JEE and IIT. im getting into a school which trains for it. im only 13

just the enterance exam

[shut lichen]

I'd guess some bad cache on your end that needed a proper update to change, since like tom said, we could see you in pilot chat user list and stuff, so our clients knew you should be there

[restive lion]

if youve ever had to deal with mason youd know how badly their api teams are managed lol

[pallid falcon]

maybe but that's weird it happened on all three platforms

even after reinstall

[restive lion]

100% an api side problem

[pallid falcon]

🤷

its back tho 🙏 thank

[winged folio]

hello again

i got good sleep this time bec im not feeling well, yay

[near nymph]

🤔

No annual fee... World Elite MasterCard...

[sage quiver]

I think I've seen other no annual fee world elite cards

unless it's particularly uncommon in canada?

[near nymph]

There's only 3 in Canada. President's Choice World Elite (15k annual spend required), Rogers World Elite (recently removed annual spend requirement), and Triangle World Elite

[sage quiver]

gotcha

[near nymph]

Lol one perk of the triangle world Elite is... $0 annual fee... Free road side assistance

That's why I kinda want it. Would cut my cost for CAA/AAA

Anyways. Just wondered if there are any Canadians in here that have this card

Seems like a good card to add to my portfolio

[ionic abyss]

going to try to watch the sand job( grand tour)

pray for no crash

[sage quiver]

It’s a fun one.

[near nymph]

I got some shady thermal paste off Amazon... Oddly enough it does better than MX-4 I'm impressed

[zenith grotto]

Is this good for a GTX 970?

[pallid falcon]

Yes

[zenith grotto]

nice

i'll tweak it a little bit to see if i can get it higher

[vapid zephyr]

You for sure are mining at a loss, so no

[zenith grotto]

at a minus?

I'm new to this sorry 😅

[abstract saddle]

Mobo showing CPU light on... Any idea how to fix this?

[vapid zephyr]

Power bills exist

[zenith grotto]

gpu is drawing less than 100 w

[vapid zephyr]

20 cents for sure isn't covering the additional power requirements you generate by mining

[vapid zephyr]

A 150w card is drawing less than a 100w mining

[zenith grotto]

I didn't ask for that. I'm asking if this is the amount you would expect to get from this card

[pallid falcon]

What if the discord user isn't paying for the power bill itself

[vapid zephyr]

No idea, nobody mines with awful cards

[vapid zephyr]

Then you'd be living with your parents and you would be a massive dipshit

[zenith grotto]

sweet. dont answer then

[pallid falcon]

Included with rent 🙄

[vapid zephyr]

I did regardless, sue me

[vapid zephyr]

No way in hell they're not charging more for going over a certain limit

[vapid smelt]

but you asked for answers

[zenith grotto]

I have solar

and batteries

[vapid zephyr]

Ic

[zenith grotto]

His "Answer" was i dont know

Tf kinda awnser is that

In what world is that helpful?!

[pallid falcon]

Not every building has a limit as long as as the tenant isn't dumb and doing a lot of power consuming things

[vapid zephyr]

Which mining generally is, yes

[vapid zephyr]

I answered you by telling you you're mining at a loss

Nobody can actually know if that's good for a 970 as no cards are made equal

[zenith grotto]

thank you

[full fossil]

I just did a skim calculation of my homes power usage

it's probably lower but my pc and the refrigerator/oven use quite a bit of power

same with the washer and dryer

usage varies but IMO if you're mining it's a waste of power unless you're doing it in an industrial way and have 400 grand worth of gpus and an entire warehouse

I want gpu prices to drop

[graceful burrow]

Gpu prices have already dropped

Crypto has basically no affect on gpu prices anymore

Gpu's can't keep up with ASIC's

[thick oyster]

ML/AI might keep prices up

[abstract saddle]

Inflation is the driver of prices now

[full fossil]

tbh that one on the left isnt a bad price

I'd pay that

[thick oyster]

Idk how many people are only memeing about stockpiling GPUs

Versus actually buying them in volume

[low rain]

I almost spilt the drink trying to open the door like why do the delivery drivers I get always put the food directly infront of the door that opens outwards 😭

Whenever my brother orders food they kinda put it to the side but I’ve almost spilt my drinks so many times opening the door

$340 for a 4060ti 16GB is a fucking steal

[abstract saddle]

Even then the grind isn't worth the ROI

[teal estuary]

thats $503 USD, so, MSRP for that card

[vapid zephyr]

Those are underdog prices

[thick oyster]

I’m wondering how much the DirectML/OpenVINO/oneAPI stuff can improve now that Microsoft is trying to do more with AI natively in Windows

You will never see those prices again, even as soon as Battlemage comes out

[graceful burrow]

I'm so excited for battlemage

[vapid zephyr]

Same. 4080 perf for $500 seems hype

[thick oyster]

They probably needed to move some inventory fast to grab some cash flow and build an install base

I’m not an analyst tho

[vapid zephyr]

You think too much into it

They're cheap because they have no market share

[indigo atlas]

they are idiots

[rare horizon]

I heard intel arc has some bad issues with drivers in some games

[full fossil]

I like arc I have been looking into them since they became a thing I enjoy that intel is making gpus for really cheap so people can have gaming cards

[vapid zephyr]

They will get more expensive and expensive scaling with their market share, which is also the reason why the 7900 XTX isn't $1,500

[graceful burrow]

A lot of those have been fixed

[thick oyster]

I mean that’s what I meant by “build an install base” but in order words

[rare horizon]

I'd hope so. We're talking the entire display flickering and glitching out

was it any good? I'm interested to know.

[graceful burrow]

It was great
I had an a380 and other than dx8/9 titles having microstutters in some games it was exactly what I was expecting

I swapped l4d2 to the a380 to test it and forgot it
Put like 30 hours in without realizing

[thick oyster]

I think the DX8/9 is mostly an issue with Microsoft and DXVK tbf

Im honestly convinced my science teacher doesn’t check people’s work and just grades it cause for the last 3 assignments its been this one person doing the work and then like 12 people copying and pasting his work into their doc and turning it in

It’s true that some teachers do minimal effort and are terrible but that’s just because they are bad teachers not because teachers are bad

Their videos are about 12 minutes or under so I’m guessing their target audience is folks who don’t have a lot of time on their hands

[full fossil]

lol my reaction to seeing this price was 'yeahh... mm no''

$600 would be solid

[polar fern]

New in box no way

That list price is actually less expensive than it would’ve been in 1985

Actually, it depends on the way you purchased it and the options

$600 is way less than what it was worth new even with adjustment for inflation

A solid price for that thing would be around $900 new in box

And they also opened the box which makes it less valuable

So maybe around $800

If everything on it is working like new $800 would actually be a pretty good deal because it looks like the plastics are in decent condition

[young finch]

pentum 4 4 gigs of ram and a 512mb video card

[pastel thunder]

do people use secondary graphics cards for recording or streaming? i feel like it sounds like a good idea, getting my 2060 today

[young finch]

yes but people who do this usually use a capture card or a diffrent pc

[pastel thunder]

whys that

[young finch]

why buy a diffrent gpu if you can get a totally diffrent pc for that stuff as even if u use a second gpu for encoding it will use cpu cycles

so getting a cheap pc for that stuff is better

that is why capture cards are used even less now 😦

[pastel thunder]

ohhh that makes sense, i was saying this for people who upgraded their pc and have a secondary

[pastel thunder]

so theres no way to fully use a secondary gpu for recording without it touching the cpu

like encoding cant be done on the gpu?

[young finch]

it is done on the gpu but the cpu has to tell the gpu what to encode so cpu is used. if want every drop of performance then second gpu is not viable but if u use it then it should not have a very large effect on the peformance should be about margin of error depending on the cpu

I don't know if I've posted my latest little tweak to my smallest SFF build

I added two more intakes on the side and printed grills for them (LTT Screwdriver for scale)

It has a 4060 LP now and I bolted a bit ol' ID cooling fan on it to increase airflow into the case.

The CPU is a 9700 and case on, the CPU maxes out in the 70s and GPU in low 80s

[gleaming compass]

I suddenly want to eat some matzah

[carmine stirrup]

I had to swap to a flex atx PSU to handle the 4060.

[gleaming compass]

I only see case fan grills for two of the three GPU fans

you have a CNC machine to add a third?

are the two noctua fans in front doing anything? if you unplug them does the temps go up?

I am confused how their air flow is reaching anything

I could see the bottom noctua fan maybe helping the power supply a little

overall, it is a cool reuse of a Michael Dell case

There's only 1 noctua fan in the front, and while the air has to make a few turns to get to it, it does better than one would think.

The CPU and GPU both pull in fresh air, so they stay pretty cool, and heat just pours out the back, lol

my father for example doesnt like pirating media because of the potential legal consequenses, he would rather not take the risk if there are other convenient ways of watching that same content

[full fossil]

im not a pirating fan but they make it so stupidly hard to own media these days that i blame noone

i have a dvd i cant just store it on my pc for plex without breaking the law

[spice pine]

bad move imo

[full fossil]

its idiotic

[fierce moth]

if buying isnt owning, then piracy isnt stealing

[full fossil]

thats a fun statement but doesnt make any sense

[spice pine]

Makes total sense

[full fossil]

one doesnt equal or negate the other

they are two seperate issues

if i loan you my tools and you steal them its still theft

[spice pine]

If you aren't purchasing a copy to own, then downloading a copy isn't equivalent to "stealing" a physical copy

[sick coral]

if he decides he wants to have a legal copy of his fav show so that he can watch it 20 years from now if he wanted to, the only way he could do that is if he bought and ripped the bluray

[full fossil]

if you rent them and steal them its still theft

if you buy them with contingency and break that its illegal

[calm gyro]

I was taking anything valuable out my friends xbox 360 with 3 rings of death and wondered why it stopped working

[sick coral]

if renting is the only option then stealing is justified

[full fossil]

just like anything that comes with contingencies

[calm gyro]

I wonder if wonder…

[full fossil]

not in my eyes but youre free to feel different im sure many do

[calm gyro]

They are all bulgy btw

[spice pine]

I feel like if a company doesn't let you purchase a copy to own, then your only other option is piracy - or just not getting whatever it is

[full fossil]

they certainly make piracy desirable

[spice pine]

Piracy as theft is a weird concept anyways, it's all digital bits anywho.

[full fossil]

just make your own movies

[sick coral]

exactly, whats the point of purchasing a digital copy if you wouldve had a better experience pirating it or buying it physically

[full fossil]

yeah if you genuinely were never going to buy it ever and its digital it's definitely a weird area

its still theft because its clearly defined as such but there is no loss so

[sharp bobcat]

good

if that means continuation of Gravity Falls bluray

[sick coral]

why

[spice pine]

sony sucks

[sharp bobcat]

also I have returned

[fierce moth]

Digital copies are just licences to watch them, and they can and will be revoked as companies do time and time again

[full fossil]

dvds will be a ps5 exclusive is no times

[fierce moth]

That's physically impossible

[full fossil]

it was a joke

[fierce moth]

A prerequisite of being a joke, is that it has to be funny

[sick coral]

yeah but realistically if sony wouldntve agreed to making physical copies for disney, we wouldnt have ANY new physical copies of disney shows from this point forward

[hearty spear]

you think these people are capable of making a funny?

[full fossil]

no not really

[fierce moth]

True true

[full fossil]

but being a dick tells me all i need to know

[sick coral]

nah i love dicks

[full fossil]

doesnt make any sense

[hearty spear]

that you pulled a stupid and got called out? yup

[full fossil]

that i made a lighthearted joke

[hearty spear]

jokes are supposed to be funny, if it's not funny it's not a joke

[full fossil]

and you terminally online debate brained shut ins used it as a opportunity for dopamine loke usual

imagine being as miserable as yall haha

[hearty spear]

hur hur, I said "touch grass" I totally won that insult contest

[full fossil]

its not a contest

you're miserable af and live on discord

[sick coral]

hur hur, hur hur hur, hur, hur hur, hur hur

[full fossil]

and your only joy comes from cliche low effort bullying

youre a literal loser lol

[hearty spear]

and your joy comes from playing the victim, apparently

[full fossil]

nice cliche

[supple pawn]

The key to not being miserable is to do arts and crafts, I've decided. Have you ever been sad when cutting into a fresh sheet of construction paper?

[full fossil]

got some more?

[supple pawn]

I have a motivational quote or two

[full fossil]

anyway back to work enjoying your misery 🙂

[supple pawn]

"Rome didn't build a great empire by having meetings. They did it by killing all those who opposed them." ~Augustus, probably

[hearty spear]

I'm sure they had a couple meetings along the way, but most were probably the e-mail it was supposed to be

[harsh quartz]

Caesar’s murder could’ve been an email

[hearty spear]

in person was better there, it really brought people together

[sick coral]

found this listing and im just wondering who took that bite

[full fossil]

is this socket 5 or 7?

Donations, if you feel the federal government didn't get enough of your money through taxes, you can give them even more!

Hello Humans

[fossil frost]

what about the rest of us?

[mortal kraken]

I still remember that one comment where "Hearing Linus after hearing Emily for a while is like your 7am alarm clock"

[ionic abyss]

humm

what is this human

i am a peice of self aware toast

[hearty spear]

It's Emily.

[full fossil]

You just found out now? DW you'll learn to love the voice as you watch more lol.

[blazing sage]

Any videos came up new about this he gaming party lan

[full fossil]

ive been watching linus for years, im 25 hes always been annoying

first time I watched was 2011-2015 or something

I was 11-15 then

[gilded quest]

Linus certainly does not have a voice for radio

[fossil frost]

if you think that, you have not listened to the radio recently. he sounds way more well spoken than most of the toads that are on there

[tardy terrace]

maybe AM radio, and if you already have bad tinnitus

7800xt is low-key a beast of a card icl, was playing Hogwarts legacy with everything set to ultra and ray traced to the max, sprinkle in a bit of frame gen and upscaling and it was doing well over 100fps average in 4k res!! FOOKIN LOVE IT M8

[echo canopy]

you mean fake blurry frame insertion

[full fossil]

Frame gen and upscaling are 2 brilliant technologies no cap

[full fossil]

Same difference

[full fossil]

It's honestly not that bad

And the more they work on it the better it'll get

[echo canopy]

it will never get over its inherient limitation of doubling input latency (unless they go down the rabbit hole of "predicting" the next frame) and optical flow sucks

[full fossil]

Input latency doesn't matter on a story driven game unless it's noticeably worse which it isn't

[livid hornet]

why do i see alot less people talking about arc, is it just really niche or like bad

[cold prism]

Everyone's threshold for a noticeable amount of input latency is different

[full fossil]

And competitive games just don't have graphics which are that demanding so you don't even need it

[echo canopy]

input latency personally makes me sick but that is a valid argument

[full fossil]

True

[echo canopy]

some games that require low input latency are not inheriently competitive like doom

[full fossil]

Fair point

[cold prism]

Personally I'm fine with dlss framegen in cyberpunk but I wouldn't use it in a game that was mechanically demanding even if it's single player

But it's neat seeing 210fps with RT on max

[echo canopy]

as in the ARC gpus? theyre a option if you want a decent mid grade gpu IG. the main reason people were even talking about them is holy fuck intel made a dgpu and they were the first with HW av1 encoding which amd and nvidia both have now

[livid hornet]

yeah

[echo canopy]

I want AMD to release their server av1 transcoding card for streamers, it beats all gpu av1 encoders

[dusky jacinth]

I've heard of that too. Thing's insanely powerful.

[peak phoenix]

I don;t think it's worth thinking about a GPU that is a year or more out.

[full fossil]

I had to get something now tbh had a system but no GPU for like 6 months

Moot?

[peak phoenix]

Yes, everyone throws out their last gen cards the second a new gen drops

[full fossil]

🤣🤣 rip wallet

Lmao u rich rich

It's pointless until u realise people are still running GTX1080s and are still running perfectly fine on 1080p

[echo canopy]

ah yes let me just say the most random numbers possible without even backing it with a reputable rumor mill which itself is sometimes unreliable

[peak phoenix]

And let's pretend that NO ONE buys last gen cards too

[full fossil]

Deep that bro I said GTX

[peak phoenix]

How long did the 6950XT get recommended for when the XTX was out?

[full fossil]

Yeah defo wasn't thinking of getting a 6950xt second hand yuck

[neon mesa]

Zero details released by AMD, pure speculation

[full fossil]

Beat me to the punch

[neon mesa]

People said RDNA3 gonna destroy nvidia too

[peak phoenix]

Even 6950XT new was cheap enough to recommend

[neon mesa]

They end up not even being able to compete on the X90 sector
