[full fossil]

Ohh

[leaden patrol]

I’m telling u run me test

[full fossil]

💀

[leaden patrol]

Mem

[full fossil]

How do I do that in bios

[leaden patrol]

By flashing it to a different usb and plugging it into ur pc and booting off of that

Or even a phone is u have a dongle

[cloud raptor]

for cpu's its also safer imo to go for used parts, just watch for unrecoverable bent pins (if they are just slightly bent you probably can bent them back)
5700x3d is ofc a beast for gaming on AM4, but the 5700x will already give a massive boost compared to your zen+ cpu.

[leaden patrol]

@full fossil

[cloud raptor]

and honestly there isn't much difference in 4060 vs 3060, you might be even better off buying a 3060ti if you don't even wanna use DLSS 3.5

[ruby lion]

thanks for advice, ill have a look in prices and if its a big enough difference then ill just go with a 3060 ti

at this stage just about anything would be better than the temporary r9 370

[cloud raptor]

tbf the 4060 does consume like 80w less than the 3060ti, so if you have high electricity cost then the 4060 is still better for efficiency

[ruby lion]

👍

[leaden patrol]

Id never recommend a 4060

Horrible ptp

[leaden patrol]

Do like a 3060ti

Great used prices and a decent Ish midrange card

[full fossil]

I got it tkz

[leaden patrol]

Huh?

[cloud raptor]

4060 has 115W TDP
3060ti has 200W+ TDP
so yeah 4060 is much more efficient

[leaden patrol]

U downloaded mem test?

[leaden patrol]

Well no shit but go for a 4070 atp

U aren’t upgrading just less power usage

Or a rx card

[ruby lion]

which ones are worth looking for (250-350 euro budget)

[cloud raptor]

yeah you can go AMD too, just many people don't "like" AMD.
also in my experience they cause a lot more driver issues.
and DLSS is still superior than FSR

[leaden patrol]

Hm lemme look but they compete for ptp pretty well

[leaden patrol]

NVIDIA fanboy

Ok anyway lemme look into cards rq

[mint yacht]

Do you clean your PC

[ruby lion]

i honestly dont mind if it is amd or nvidia as long as it games rather well for its price

[cloud raptor]

ah yes because the ppl i know had driver issues i am a fanboy?
and that DLSS>FSR is a fact.
i do like AMD, its just that they don't come in question for me for GPU's

[leaden patrol]

Could get a 7700xt used

[full fossil]

I cant download mem test if I can't boot windows

[leaden patrol]

Ur recommending a 4% fucking gain for 150$

And a little less power draw

These cards compete even without dlss

Nobody gives a shit man

[ruby lion]

in europe 3060 ti's are more expensive than a 4060

[leaden patrol]

Hm used?

[ruby lion]

i can get a 4060 on amazon for 300 euro#

new

[ruby lion]

with delivery

just double checked

[leaden patrol]

Ok then <@&750150305383186585>

[leaden patrol]

Yeah but amd performs well there

[ruby lion]

i suppose

[leaden patrol]

For ptp even without dlss

6700xt not a bad choice either equivalent to abt a 3070

Wow man ur so fucking edgy

Anddddd ez block

There no more chat spam

<@&750150305383186585>

I have the screenshots as well

Tyyyyy

[ruby lion]

it's quite hard to find a card decent for me. last time i really knew my stuff was 2018 when i was building my current pc

[leaden patrol]

Yeah fair

A 6700xt wouldn’t be as bad abt equivalent to a 3070

[cloud raptor]

and the 12GB is nice, altough from what i see brand new its 100-150€ more than a 4060/3060ti

but used could be cheaper ofc

[leaden patrol]

Don’t get it brand new

Get it used

There’s no reason not too

It’s a last gen card but with good performance

[ruby lion]

tbh i dont intend to play cyberpunk on high settings. my games consist of off arma 3, gta, hoi4, mount and blade bannerlord and the forest. I was starting to notice my 6gb 1660 start to struggle until it died.

[cloud raptor]

yeah used cards can be good, got my 3060ti for 200€ like 1 ½ year ago

[ruby lion]

issue is that in ireland getting used cards is quite hard

[leaden patrol]

Again the 6700xt is a card that will improve with drivers is bettter then last gen and overall a better card if ur running a amd cpu

[cloud raptor]

but watch out for obvious scams, if something is too good for its price, it probably is too good and a scam

[leaden patrol]

Look on eBay

Official sites

[ruby lion]

👍

[leaden patrol]

Like Jawa or any other 2nd hand as well

[ruby lion]

i am aware that any decent upgrade ill make will be bottlenecked by my 2700x but ill hopefully have enough saved to swap it out for something newer

[leaden patrol]

Upgrade it for a 5900x3d it’s worth the save

And with that I’m hopping in the shower

All used may I add

[ruby lion]

yep thats what i was hoping for, only 200 euro aswell so it should be fine budget wise

[hasty elk]

what's a good pc case for atx motherboards?

[cloud raptor]

5900x3d?

[ruby lion]

am i right in saying just aboiut any gpu will work with any cpu and (most) motherboards but it could be bottlenecked? just want to make sure i still remember things right

[cloud raptor]

yeah,
also before buying a new processor check if your motherboard has a ryzen 5000 bios update, otherwise you can't even upgrade to ryzen 5000

but most should have an update

[ruby lion]

ik. its an asus tuf x470 from 2018 so ill probably have to update the bios

[cloud raptor]

yeah you have to,
check on your motherboard support page for the update

[ruby lion]

its the armoury crate software i think

[cloud raptor]

if you have a decently big budget, you can also go AM5, but you need

• a new board
• a new cpu
• new ram
  to offset the cost you can sell the old things, and AM5 will make you ready for many years.
  you have to decide yourself if its worth it, but AM4 is currently still kinda great with the X3D cpu's

[cloud raptor]

also be cautious, newer BIOS versions with ryzen 5000 might drop support for ryzen 1000/2000

[ruby lion]

yeah honestly everything is working well apart from the 1660 dying. But when I changed the thermal paste on the cpu for the first time since 2018 it was still moist and not sand which was honestly surprising

[ruby lion]

didnt know that. thanks for lmk

[leaden patrol]

Yes

[cloud raptor]

if you motherboard has a little "Flash BIOS" button on the back you should be good, because then you just wait for your new cpu. remove the old one. then flash the new bios. then put the new one in

[leaden patrol]

Wait tf is happening

[cloud raptor]

afaik the 5900x3d is actually not released.

[ruby lion]

the only investments was 150 euro for a new psu, a replacement gpu and a 500gb nvme m.2. feel like i really got my monies worth for the last 6 years

[leaden patrol]

Apologize 5900x

But u get my point

[cloud raptor]

5800x3d will be better in gaming than a non-3d one

and in some other specific applications too

[leaden patrol]

I guess but pricing

5900x still seems like a winner to me

[cloud raptor]

5700x3d is also an option, its just a downclocked 5800x3d from my understanding

[ruby lion]

a 5800x3d is only like 40 euro more in europe. (thats like 50-60 usd??)

[leaden patrol]

That’s almost all CPUs they attempt to make the best and the failures are the lower grade chips

[leaden patrol]

Yeah Alr not a bad cop

[cloud raptor]

when looking at some quick FPS tests (with a 4090) the 5700x3d is just as fast as the 5800x3d

[ruby lion]

and thats new, used is probably much cheaper

[leaden patrol]

This isn’t always the case

[versed cedar]

but also id go for a lower end am5 for upgrade path

[cloud raptor]

yeah if its just 40€, go for the 5800x3d

[leaden patrol]

Not all CPUs are clocked equal

[leaden patrol]

But agreeable

[cloud raptor]

i mean atleast the 5700x3d is not a scam like the 5500

[leaden patrol]

Hell I’ve been looking to build my parents a pc Ig we going to Europe

[cloud raptor]

here in germany you can find stuff dirt cheap on "kleinanzeigen"

[leaden patrol]

Again for 60 bucks I could give less of a fuck it’s a good chip now ima get dressed

[ruby lion]

yeah honestly im happy i went with amd. can bag great deals

[cloud raptor]

AM4 lasted 7 years, you can put ryzen 5000 on 300 boards

[frozen barn]

hey, does anyone know a site that sells laptops that can run discord streams and roblox for like 300-390?

[leaden patrol]

U aren’t gonna be able to do that

.

[frozen barn]

Fuck

[cloud raptor]

300-390 euros? usd?

[leaden patrol]

Gaming sus one thing streaming is a bitch

He’s talking usd

[frozen barn]

euros yes

[leaden patrol]

Nvm

I’m slow possible now

@cloud raptor Alr peace

[cloud raptor]

then check your available used-parts sites first, might find some deals.
even intel 6000+ chips i think have decoding/encoding hardware. so streaming should be good.
i have a 180€ laptop with a 7500U, bought it 2 years ago, and decoding/encoding works fine. but you have to check for your country and sites.

[frozen barn]

Alright, let me copy this rq. And thank you lots

[cloud raptor]

and some sites even give refunds, so you can ship the laptop back if it doesn't work out.
but as said for 300-330€ you will probably only get a few year old intel laptops, and aslong as its like 6000+ or newer it should do encode/decode

[frozen barn]

yeah i just wanna be able to have discord and roblox open and it be smooth

all im rlly asking for lol, since im not really into any other games

[ruby lion]

what country?

[frozen barn]

France

[lament crystal]

Ayy my dbrand teardown case arrived

[leaden patrol]

I mean yeah he can do that but I’ve friends with that processor it can barerly run some Roblox games

At least from that gen

Ig tho

A rx 580 might be required

Or Nvidia for their encoding

[cloud raptor]

i mean what other choice is there for 300-330€ bucks?

[leaden patrol]

Saving it

[cloud raptor]

he wants a laptop :-)

[leaden patrol]

Bro wth

Alr bro live ur dream till u see the downsides of running a laptop at 95 c for hours on end

[cloud raptor]

for 300€ atleast here in germany you can find a decent used laptop

[leaden patrol]

Yeah but for semi gaming and streaming?

[cloud raptor]

the igpu always can do encoding/decoding, and roblox is not an issue

[leaden patrol]

They now have ac and use abt 20% of a 7600

And abt 20 percent of A 3060

[cloud raptor]

and with some luck he might even find a laptop with a dGPU

[leaden patrol]

Yeah Ig

Just saying atp save for like a 20 series to 30 series laptops

[cloud raptor]

lg? do you by any chance mean gl or good luck

[leaden patrol]

They are only abt 100 euro more for a half decent system

At least in freedom land

[cloud raptor]

well who knows how much 100euro is for op

[snow lichen]

One year since LTX '23

[late flax]

All my homies hate HP printers

[lyric sphinx]

they were good in the early 2000s

[frozen barn]

no no, not full on streaming.

being able to screenshare on discord

that's all, since I develop on roblox I often need to screenshare

[leaden patrol]

Ohhh

[frozen barn]

but it comes off as complete dogshit

[leaden patrol]

Yeah no ur fine gl

[harsh quartz]

The mods have spoken

[ruby lion]

Does anyone know if an evolabs 750 watt PSU has an 8 pin GPU connector? I really hope I'm just being dumb

[fresh sorrel]

im just a normal pc gamer but can i download the nvidia app already or do i just keep the geforce experience. i was not sure because they said the nvidia app is still in beta

[fallen hull]

anyone have experience buying windows oem keys for like 15$ from resellers

first time installing binbows in years

[karmic hedge]

hi

[graceful burrow]

We can't recommend those here, server rules

[hollow nimbus]

Gtx 1080 still competes with rx 6600 and has GeForce now it’s the better option, it has better software and performance inbetween each is basically flipping a coin for who wins best fps

[graceful burrow]

Unfortunately it's fuckin 7 years old and is gonna lose driver support soon

[hollow nimbus]

Doesn’t matter

[graceful burrow]

[hollow nimbus]

Still the better option

[graceful burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-sure-jan-sarcastic-brady-bunch-gif-11590179

[hollow nimbus]

It’s losing driver support in 2029💀

Wait holdup did I get banned

Nvm

[neon mesa]

1080 is slower

you're thinking 1080ti

also, any semblance of performance advantage gets nuked in newer games

the software argument makes no sense on pascal as every new features that makes buying nvidia worth it is absent on pascal

[viscid elm]

RX 6600 as fluid motion frams FSR 3 and more

so if its the same price the RX 6600 will beat pascal in most modern games but for older games its true the pure performance of pascal dose win

[harsh quartz]

Yes

[graceful burrow]

Can you post a funny one if you're gonna break a rule lol

[silver sun]

210

[gilded quest]

It either works or it doesn't
If it doesn't complain with the place that sold it or do a chargeback

[civic fiber]

what rule?

[graceful burrow]

4 technically, calls out memes specifically

I'm just pokin fun tho idrc lol

[lyric sphinx]

its not a meme its feet

no text no meme

[graceful burrow]

That's such an old rule and is disingenuous to how memes have evolved over time in our culture

That shit was true in 2010 on funnyjunk lmao

[lyric sphinx]

I got one of people cutting dead skin off their feet and collecting it if that is better

[graceful burrow]

I mean you might actually get in trouble for that one kek

[lyric sphinx]

lol thats why I didnt put it

[graceful burrow]

You're taking something pretty seriously here when I explicitly said I was pokin fun and idrc

[lyric sphinx]

I even shuttered when I saw it

[graceful burrow]

Shuddered*

[lyric sphinx]

you dont know I am blinds

[tepid jasper]

pascal is just sad to buy into in 2024

turing is the baseline

and thats still a tough purchase imo, unless you get it for a good price

[wraith sonnet]

So I'm using a 3060ti for rtx video upscaling, it doesn't seem to quite make the cut for 4k, any ideas what the cheapest GPU could?

Gets up to 1440p fine

[olive stream]

Does anyone know why my AirPods barely make any sound at around 35-40% volume?

[polar fern]

Are you wearing them correctly?

[olive stream]

Of course

[polar fern]

What are you pairing them to

[olive stream]

iPhone 11

They have always worked as they should

[polar fern]

Volume on phone default?

There’s volume limiter settings

[olive stream]

The sound is definitely on 100% if I put them on 100

But 30 and under is 0

[polar fern]

Is the AirPod volume paired to device volume correctly?

[olive stream]

Yes

[polar fern]

That’s… not the same thing

[olive stream]

What do you mean

[polar fern]

Bluetooth volume at max?

[olive stream]

Bluetooth volume?

That is volume

Here is without AirPods connected

[primal sonnet]

Spotify or Apple Music on android?

[polar fern]

What’s the battery health on the AirPods?

[olive stream]

No, no and no

[olive stream]

Not sure but they are fully charged right now

And it has always worked properly so I don’t know

[polar fern]

Fully charged does not mean good battery health

[olive stream]

I don’t think the battery is the issue

[polar fern]

It could be that the battery capacity is degraded to the point where fine volume control doesn’t work

Have you gotten them wet at all?

[olive stream]

No

How can I check the capacity?

[polar fern]

Have you had a hearing test?

[olive stream]

It’s not my hearing

[wispy dragon]

Uh guys my thermal paste is dryer than chalk

[polar fern]

If you sync with the charging pod on a computer, you should be able to see

[olive stream]

Where do I see?

Do I need ITunes installed?

[gilded quest]

Unfortunately you might just have to buy some new paste

[polar fern]

If you have a Mac, it will come up in the devices list and you can see all of the hardware information, including battery cycles and remaining capacity

[gilded quest]

Thermal paste is a consumable

[polar fern]

I believe it’s called system profiler or something like that

[olive stream]

I don’t have mac

[polar fern]

Womp

[olive stream]

Never will have

[wispy dragon]

Clearly it is consumable cause I ate it

[gilded quest]

Rate the flavor

[polar fern]

How loud do you listen to the AirPods volume-wise?

Also, how old are they?

[wispy dragon]

It made my mouth colder👍

[olive stream]

It’s probably the new iOS

It started happening after I updated

[polar fern]

How old are the AirPods?

[olive stream]

I don’t know

Like 2 years

[lyric sphinx]

just give it the ole hawk tuah to get it moist

[olive stream]

Not heavily used them either

[polar fern]

AirPod batteries last up to about 3 years with very careful use so it could very likely be the batteries

[olive stream]

from 50-100 it works

volume %

[lyric sphinx]

just go the the genius bar

[olive stream]

Hours away

Not sure if we even have it in this country

[polar fern]

Yeah, so if the driver power source does not have enough power, you’re actually going to lose the ability to move the driver accurately. At lower volumes, this might mean that the driver is pegged retracted/ extended or the signal is cut completely by the internal control electronics.

[olive stream]

They are charged to max

And it worked properly a month ago

[polar fern]

It has nothing to do with the amount of batteries charged that has to do with the amount of battery capacity

[olive stream]

But how can it drop that much in a month

with little use

[polar fern]

If your battery is charged to the equivalent of 10 gallons, then you have 10 gallons of charge but if that 10 gallon battery can only charge to 3 gallons. The internal electronics are going to do whatever it takes to protect the device from low-voltage issues.

[olive stream]

Yeah but wouldn't it happens slowly over time

[polar fern]

You’re confusing fully charged with full capacity it’s not the same thing

[olive stream]

I'm not confused. I know what you mean

[polar fern]

Yes, but you’re not going to notice it until it drops below certain threshold

[olive stream]

I was able to listen to them at 10% volume last month 🤷‍♂️

[polar fern]

Yep, that’s lithium batteries. They have all the power until they don’t.

I don’t believe Windows has a way for you to check the device information unfortunately

Apple has the system profiler, which can give you detailed information on batteries, such as number of charge cycles and remaining capacity and all of that

[olive stream]

hackintosh

[polar fern]

Apple has been doing mobile and portable stuff for a very long time. They are very good at it.

Having access to battery information is extremely important, especially for IT staff who need to know when the battery might need to be replaced

In any case, I am fairly certain it is the batteries. I hope I am wrong and it’s just a software thing. For now I would wait for an update and if it still has an issue after a supposed fix then it’s time to get a new pair of AirPods.

[olive stream]

I need a new phone soon too

[polar fern]

What percentage capacity is your iPhone at?

[olive stream]

Apple almost got all my pictures and video deleted and I couldn't do anything about it. Not iPhone 11 issue but apple issue

[olive stream]

86 or so but I need more storage and everything

[polar fern]

Yeah, 86 is getting down towards the limit of reliability

[olive stream]

My icloud payment stopped and my icolud was 4gb over the 5gb limit. All my pictures were saved to icloud since apple is stupid and enabled that automatically. It wouldn't let me download the pictures to the storage which I always wanted and settings was glitched so I couldn't even enter the subscription thing and buy more storage

[polar fern]

speaking of batteries and reliability I should probably set up a battery replacement thing for my phone because it’s getting time to do that

Yeah, typically it’s 30 days before your storage overrun is purged

[olive stream]

Paying for having my pictures is crazy

[polar fern]

You’re not paying to have access to your pictures. You’re paying to have your pictures accessible if something happens to your device.

[harsh quartz]

I d had this happen before, it all was saved and when I tried to download it it said no, and then just got rid of them

[olive stream]

They were only saved to icloud. Not my phone

I need internet to see them or watch them

[polar fern]

Most people with an iPhone that have that enabled are going to also have the cloud sync on their computer so any pictures taken on your phone go both to iCloud and your iCloud folder on your computer

[harsh quartz]

Luckily I had stored all of my important ones in Dropbox as well as on my phone, so when I cloud borked it, I had all my important shit

[olive stream]

Yeah but I want them saved to my phone so that I don't have to pay monthly

I don't know how to download them

[polar fern]

You don’t have to pay anything, but if your phone breaks and your photos are on there, they’re gone forever

[olive stream]

If I turn off icloud it will

And I also need icloud for my icloud email to work

[harsh quartz]

I’m curious what the percentage of apple/mac ownership is

[gilded quest]

You can disable photo sync to icloud

[polar fern]

iCloud email is not something you pay for

[harsh quartz]

You can. It doesn’t always work

[polar fern]

It’s part of having an account to begin with

[olive stream]

I don't recive emails when I don't pay for icloud

[gilded quest]

I'd think they should at you at least do a one time download of data over the 5gb limit but I don't really use apple so idk

[polar fern]

You must have an older plan or something

[gilded quest]

Might need to do it from a web browser

[olive stream]

No

[polar fern]

I had iCloud email before enabling iCloud years ago so I’m not sure exactly what you’re experiencing. Maybe it’s a something in different countries.

[harsh quartz]

I will say, modern iCloud is better about not forcing your stuff into the cloud, but it still shouldn’t be on by default. It should be asked when you first log into the device, since god knows it asks you 7 million other things

[gilded quest]

Are you saying apples services are buggy and unreliable?

[harsh quartz]

I’m saying iCloud is fuckin stupid and should be optional

Like windows having one drive enabled by default is also fuckin stupid

[olive stream]

It says that my photos and videos will be deleted or downgraded

[harsh quartz]

Stop putting my shit in the cloud without asking me :p

[gilded quest]

Can you do a one time download from iCloud before that happens? Maybe from a web browser? @olive stream

[olive stream]

Now it forces me to put them in icloud

[polar fern]

Look, I’m not telling you that you have to pay for iCloud, but if you damage your phone to the point where the data can’t be retrieved and you do not have iCloud back up set up all of those images will be lost forever

[olive stream]

that's fine

I'm not paying

[polar fern]

Forces you to put it in iCloud? That doesn’t sound right

[harsh quartz]

Unless you, idk, have a different backup method that’s more user friendly?

[olive stream]

I can't disable it since it will delete some of my pictures and videos

[gilded quest]

iTunes sync 🤔

[harsh quartz]

iTunes is dead isn’t it?

[gilded quest]

Is it dead on windows

They don't have a Mac

[olive stream]

I don't want a samsung at all but it might be my only option. I would rather not have a phone tbh

[gilded quest]

Get a dumb phone for calls and texts then

[olive stream]

I need tiktok and 4g

[gilded quest]

Brain rot

[olive stream]

and snapchat

[harsh quartz]

iTunes is defunct on windows. It technically still works but is not good. Everything runs through the web portal which, yes, lets you download everything, but it’s not a user friendly portal for obvious reasons

[polar fern]

Yeah, I’m not here to tell you what to pay for and what not to but a huge part of using an iOS device is iCloud because you can access it literally anywhere even if you lose your phone you still have everything including your emails photos and your web browsing history Passwords and so on. You could literally have your stuff backed up current lose your phone buy a new phone and be back up and running as if you never lost the old one. It’s pretty amazing actually.

[gilded quest]

Better than not having a photo backup

[olive stream]

It's fine. I would rather have all my pictures deleted than to pay montly

[gilded quest]

And cheaper than using a cloud service

[polar fern]

5 GB of storage is free per month plus the email again I think this is a country by country thing because iCloud email has always been free even if you don’t have a pay tier

[wraith sonnet]

Nvm bad driver

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, that’s why my shit goes in Dropbox :p

[gilded quest]

I pay Adobe and Google for double backup

[olive stream]

5gb is free but I have 5.6gb of pictures and I have 16gb in total in icloud

[gilded quest]

Although I don't sync mobile photos to Adobe and I don't sync camera photos to Google so single backups for different workflows

[harsh quartz]

I don’t have enough need for a paid backup, but I like my important 100-200 photos and my ebook library , Dropbox is good for that. I just don’t like iCloud cause it’s not user friendly if you have a windows pc

[polar fern]

Adobe can gargle fluroantimonic acid & Google… bleh.

[gilded quest]

I used OneDrive with my university account but I'm pretty sure that's read only now that I'm not enrolled in classes post graduation

[harsh quartz]

One drive is fine, but again, I don’t like it being enabled by default and just tossing my shit in the cloud.

[gilded quest]

Yes Adobe sucks but unfortunately there is no reasonable alternative for Lightroom that does everything Lightroom does

[harsh quartz]

Not-darkroom?

[gilded quest]

I used it cause I had a 5tb limit on uni account

[polar fern]

If Adobe moved back to traditional purchasing of products versus renting them, my opinion might change

[gilded quest]

Dark table is fine as a free app but it isn't the same as Lightroom

[harsh quartz]

Yeah 365 one drive is pretty nice to have for like business customers

[harsh quartz]

(I had no idea that was a thing I was just making a pun on the opposite of light)

[gilded quest]

Lmao

There is a free app called darktable

It's fine
If your workflow is small it gets the job done

[harsh quartz]

This is me with all office apps. I don’t want 365 for personal use.

[olive stream]

I wish apple was good

[harsh quartz]

I wish (insert almost any tech company) was good

[olive stream]

Why does apple still have 60hz phones?

Is it so people pay more for the plus pro max extra phones?

[harsh quartz]

Cause most people don’t care about 90+ hz

[graceful burrow]

I'd argue a lot of people either don't know or don't care

I use my 90hz phone at 60hz to save battery

[olive stream]

120hz would be nice. All their newest phones can handle it too

[harsh quartz]

I used my 120hz phone at 60 for the same reason. My 144hz laptop stays at 60 cause it’s the #1 battery killer

[harsh quartz]

It would be nice. It’s not needed.

Weren’t you just talking about how little you need in a phone?

[graceful burrow]

Lol

[olive stream]

What?

[harsh quartz]

“I need TikTok 4g and Snapchat”

[olive stream]

Of course

I need more tiktok fps

So I can kill my brain smoother

[olive stream]

But I'm stuck to 64gb of storage

Battery capacity is dropping

Picture quality isn't that great

And stuff

[harsh quartz]

Okay?

So buy an expensive phone and it’ll have all that

[olive stream]

Yes

[calm swan]

most of their customers don't care enough

buy the pro iphone if you want 120hz i guess

[distant rune]

Bro Samsung is better but somehow Apple is more popular (I use Apple)

[calm swan]

eh i dislike oneui, id much rather get a pixel

if i switched to android

samsungs camera hardware is pretty insane tho

[distant rune]

Samsung is better fps hz camera quality longer battery brighter screen list goes on

[calm swan]

yup, this is my main gripe with it

[calm swan]

better fps in what tho, a lot of games will run smoothly on both

[dawn sand]

Hot take.
Phone cams don't need more than 1080p30

[calm swan]

guess siri intelligence isn't very intelligent yet

[long briar]

not a hot take, it's a wrong take

[dawn sand]

Objectively correct take

[lyric sphinx]

I like a good amount of blurryness to my d pics

[calm swan]

the ui is nice tho

[long briar]

It has no basis

the real issue is the very low bitrate used in most phone camera apps

[calm swan]

it is their own model

[long briar]

So did Google, and Google's is still... mediocre

[dawn sand]

They need better pixel binning or do oversampling if 1080p is blurry but 4k is not. Resolution doesn't affect sharpness. It affects how much you can crop in post for more detail.

[calm swan]

you can just ask chatgpt if you want to, directly from siri

that feature isn't here yet

[long briar]

They need to allow for higher recording bitrate.

[dawn sand]

Xperia has that

[long briar]

Xperia also has an unusable camera in auto mode

[distant rune]

Anything

[calm swan]

genshin

[distant rune]

Ew

[dawn sand]

Xperia barely has an auto mode

[long briar]

Also, 4k allows for final 1080p videos to be cropped in without loss of detail

[calm swan]

android is capped to 60fps in all hoyo games

[distant rune]

Pretty sure every phone does 4K

[dawn sand]

Do they still have a normal camera app? Does Gcam work on it?

[long briar]

Android 15 has an unlocker

[calm swan]

both ios and android phones can run 120fps games

[distant rune]

Gcam is goated

[long briar]

Yes they do, it sucks.

[dawn sand]

How does Gcam suck on Xperia?

[long briar]

It doesn't matter

Gcam does not allow for raw video recording

[calm swan]

use motioncam

[long briar]

Samsung doesn't allow third party apps to use camera2 api so it wouldn't work either

[calm swan]

paid app but does allow for raw video

[dawn sand]

I thought the Sony cam did HLG

[long briar]

You aren't going to use HLG for every video you record

[dawn sand]

Just slap a lut on it

[long briar]

Or more that, it's pointless

if I want to record my cat doing a backflip

just to send to a friend

HLG is pointless as very few apps support HDR at all

anyway that's besides the point

If you use a camera that records raw video, you have to process that yourself

[dawn sand]

Crazy how complicated and fractured HDR support is

[long briar]

if you want an automatic camera, you're also limited by the bitrate they decide to use which in general is VERY conservative

8k is pointless for a phone camera, 4k is a good default

[manic torrent]

It's disappointing but it isn't that crazy

[long briar]

^

It theoretically isn't that complicated actually

[dawn sand]

If you down sample a 4k video at a good bitrate you won't see the difference on a phone display

[long briar]

You're not just playing it back on a phone display, are you?

if you are then the better lowlight performance of 1080p30 is easy to justify

but most higher end phones at 4k30 don't look any worse in low light

[dawn sand]

How does footage recorded on a phone at 4k look on a large screen compared to when it's down sampled to 1080 from 4k

[long briar]

better

far better

less artifacting, more detailed across the board

[dawn sand]

Compared to recording the footage at 1080?

[long briar]

yep

obviously that's up to how you decide to downsample the footage

but for my Pixel 8 it's noticeably better

[dawn sand]

Shit pixel binning algo then. Do they even do pixel binning or is it line skipping?

[long briar]

and is why I record 4k almost exclusively

[long briar]

no it's bitrate limited

[dawn sand]

Could you have someone sort of automation on your phone to down sample with ffmpeg when ever a video file appears it dcim/camera?

[long briar]

it's a Google Pixel.

They give you what they think is good and you be happy with it

[dawn sand]

Shouldn't tasker be able to do that?

[long briar]

Perhaps?

I wouldn't know I don't use it

[manic torrent]

Better to do it off device though

[long briar]

Tensor chips aren't very efficient either, I don't want something running downscaling in the background

[dawn sand]

Not as convenient when sharing in apps

[long briar]

Sharing in apps I mentioned because compression is 99% of them negate any quality improvement you get from downscaling a 4k video

[dawn sand]

Would it hit the CPU hard or just use the h265 decoder?

[long briar]

Both

[pearl shell]

bruh some dude at my gym rn looks a lot like steve from Gn do i ask him for a pic xD

[long briar]

So just a chubby guy with Thor's hair and beard?

[harsh quartz]

I don’t really consider valve tech, also I said (almost)

[frail cipher]

your fots on undervolting?

[strange elk]

Funny since its one of the few that allows custom Roms still. Idk if thats gonna be true this next one but

Hate the camera. Its good but it takes so much resources that I hate using it

Like it'll literally crash the app I pull camera up from

And then not even save the pic I took

[harsh quartz]

Ngl that’s just a generic lookin dude

[manic torrent]

dude just ask him for his number, it's 2024, it's ok

[long briar]

That... doesn't sound right

[long briar]

There's no reason they won't allow third party roms

Also, third party camera apps have been popping up for Pixel and it's pretty awesome

such is the case of Blackmagic Camera which gives the Pixel 8 full control over the video recording

[strange elk]

Most phones just.. Dont. Or aren't developed for

Samsung for example

[long briar]

it's mainly not developed for

okay Samsung is just really stupid

[strange elk]

[long briar]

Exynos has unlockable bootloader, Snapdragon is all locked

[strange elk]

Also Asus

[long briar]

I never cared about Asus phones tbh

[strange elk]

They are like the last small one.

[long briar]

Sort of?

It's not that much smaller than the pixel 8, for example

[sour tinsel]

afternoon y'all

[long briar]

Barely smaller than Pixel 8 and S24, though.

[sour tinsel]

interesting

[strange elk]

I know

It sucks. they stopped making them smaller too

[long briar]

it's actually pretty much the same size as the iPhone 15 too

so you have choices from everyone

[strange elk]

Sure the fuck not getting an apple device lmao

[long briar]

I'm okay with iPhones tbh

iPhone 15 Pro*

The cameras on the base model are... mediocre

[strange elk]

That ship sailed when they stopped making minis, dragged their feet on USB C and I became privacy respecting and self hosting everything

[long briar]

What do you use then?

[strange elk]

I'm stuck on a pixel 4.

[sour tinsel]

facts

[long briar]

Ah rip

[strange elk]

That was Verizon locked.

So I'm stuck on Android too

[long briar]

I mean now that iPhone has a file manager it's a lot better than it was before

[strange elk]

Before that was an iphone SE 2016 I ran till it fell apart lmao

[strange elk]

Not good enough.

[long briar]

and that's fine

I use Pixel for the features

Call screening, camera, etc.

[strange elk]

Iove call screening and I found use of the radar this thing came with

But otherwise.. Eh.

Not like I pick up the phone anyway

[long briar]

It helps a lot when I'm waiting for a callback from other businesses but don't recognize the number

[fallen hull]

thought they were legal? its not piracy

[graceful burrow]

They break Microsoft's TOS

[fallen hull]

oh

ok

[graceful burrow]

And because they break theirs, it breaks discord's tos

[fallen hull]

no way im giving them money, linux tiem :D

[graceful burrow]

[graceful mortar]

Soo. This isn't the same salsa verde as before. It's also the only one they charge for by packet

[sour tinsel]

that aint the same salsa as when i used to work at taco bell wtf

my love life?

[graceful burrow]

Is gonna actually be funny

[graceful mortar]

Oh that salsa verde has been gone for a very long time along with fire roasted.

[sour tinsel]

that isnt funny

agreed

[graceful mortar]

I will say they're gigantic Cheez-It, It slaps... I thought it would be too salty but. It's actually good I don't know if it's worth $1 but also you know ..... I don't agree with a head of lettuce being $4.99 either so....

[sour tinsel]

it wasnt tho

[graceful burrow]

That's the second crazy inappropriate 9/11 joke today

[sour tinsel]

wait what

[graceful mortar]

I shall remain silent because my idea of humor would definitely fall into the "I played modern warfare 2 back in the day" category versus what's acceptable today.

[graceful burrow]

What's up with today and shitty 9/11 jokes

[sour tinsel]

oh he got banned QUICKLY

damn

[graceful burrow]

Wish the other dude did, the other dude's was much worse

[graceful mortar]

Yeah I was actually really upset. Then they did their menu revamp. Then during COVID they went from pico de gallo to just unseasoned tomatoes. And they had gotten rid of cilantro

Those are back now whether or not they're any good I don't know.

Oh and then they killed the Mexican pizza and then brought it back from "popular demand" but then completely missed the point which was the Mexican pizza was $2.69 when they got rid of it. when they brought it back a year later it's now $5.99..... It's okay so is a cheesy gordita crunch that also used to be $2.69

[sour tinsel]

WHAT

NOW IM UPSET

[graceful burrow]

Taco bell sucks

Fast food was popular because it was cheap

[graceful mortar]

Yeah

This is also their first sauce that actually says "keep refrigerated" You know they probably should use some of their aluminum foil to wrap them when they put them in these bags cuz these are definitely hot from the food

[sour tinsel]

oh i dont even wanna guess what he said lol

[graceful mortar]

It still can be It depends on what you order

like Taco Bell does have online exclusives and their order for four (as long as you're okay with cold Taco Bell)
is actually very economical it under $20 for something like 8,000 calories.

[sour tinsel]

EIGHT THOUSAND?!

why did i just bid on a super overpriced gaming mouse

[graceful burrow]

kinda defeats the point of "fast food" if i
A. have to round up friends
or
B. i have to go online to get the deal

[sour tinsel]

Facts

[graceful mortar]

True, I mean you could just pay full price for the meal in which case it's $64 or you could pay $20 because you ordered it through the app..

It's the same with McDonald's you get a 20% off coupon but you have to spend, I think it's $5 now, but it used to be $10 or more. Which brings the pricing to only 10% more than what it used to cost.

Or you choose to order at the window and you get to pay 20% more for your order.

Soo uhh... These were $5.99... I expected them to be bigger.

[sour tinsel]

Oh those..... I'm so sorry

[graceful burrow]

I'd rather just not eat at taco bell kek

Hi whenever i want to play a game that uses easy anti cheat the game crashes because of game security violation error. Would anyone know how i can fix this thanks.

[olive stream]

Is it possible to turn a headset into a microphone?

[fresh sorrel]

in what way?

[alpine gale]

Do you have any RGB software running on your computer? Does this happen with all EAC games, or just some? #1027757333117415424 may be more viable if you have lots of things to discuss.

[pallid sleet]

yes

it happens for elden ring and dead by daylight

[alpine gale]

Quit / exit / uninstall your RGB software, reboot, then try playing the games again. Reason 63452 RGB stuff is silly. To be clear, I like the concept of RGB... just not the cost and nuances of having it in my build.

Hey everyone is talking about de-Googling and downloading from some alternative app store. But they've forgotten that whatever privacy issues Google has it is outweighed by its security benefits.

[graceful burrow]

Typically if I can find an open source alternative to some big megacorp's app I'll use it

[manic torrent]

"everyone" "they" - yeah nah that is straight up garbage

I doubt you know what any of these security benefits are.

[wispy marsh]

It's very secure

[manic torrent]

from all the security?

[wispy marsh]

That's all you need to know, and because of security you can't access your own data

[graceful burrow]

All that security makes it hella secure

[wispy marsh]

Unless you're also an advertising company or a sponsor, then you can get someone else's data

Security will set you out on the path of the highest resistance

It's so secure that you don't even hold the decryption keys to your own data

Anachronox

when you download the "ram" it legit leads to a rickroll

it gives off the same vibes as phantom dust (i have not played anachronox, just looking through images of it now)

[polar fern]

Then you should be fine unless you run into an issue

[viscid elm]

how is that spam?
its just a ai summeri of the vid

[polar fern]

It’s a wall of text

[viscid elm]

ye its a summeri of a 20m long vid

[finite breach]

what kind of issues should I be looking for.

[polar fern]

I don’t really give a shit and blocked for using AI for such nonsense

Anything that isn’t optimal performance

[viscid elm]

did you read the context behind it?

[polar fern]

Hitching frame drops fans going crazy at low demand times

Anything out of the ordinary

[finite breach]

alright thanks

[polar fern]

👍

[manic torrent]

Fuck off

[viscid elm]

😭

i just wanted to show how ai can be used to make a 20m vid into a 2m read

[manic torrent]

Yes, we know, and we don't care

"watch as AI produces garbage from garbage"

[viscid elm]

what about jasper aka the guy i was speaking with

[manic torrent]

He posted easy to ignore garbage 😄

[viscid elm]

ye i know thats what i do just ignore that kinda stuff but if you follow the conversation you know that non of us wanted pure brain rot so instead i used a ai summerizer to figure out what the vid was about

[manic torrent]

And then you post the brain rot in chat

[viscid elm]

its not harder then deleting it if thats what you want.

as i just wanted to show how a tool can be used to reduce time needed to watch something and not needing head phones for it too

[manic torrent]

See, I just.... Already knew what was going on and that it was not Mrbeast, it's already been confirmed to be someone else, so the whole thing is bullshit

Because also it was really fucking unlikely from the get go

[viscid elm]

ye i know thats why i said i like my brain cells

instead of saying ( Fuck off ) maybe say ye that vid is bad or fake or other then being rude or you know the other guy reporting me without me even having a clue why

[manic torrent]

I saw the wall of garbage text, I say fuck off

You needed an AI summary for your AI summary.
The actual summary is : nothing happened

[fervent cedar]

Good morning

[high yarrow]

AI would be able to turn garbage into something , thats why what we have now cant be considdered intelligent, just artificial

[manic torrent]

nope

[high yarrow]

as in you agree oir you dissagree?

[manic torrent]

AI is garbage in garbage out

[high yarrow]

there is no ai atm, ...

[manic torrent]

yes yes, LLM ML that exists currently

[high yarrow]

just a autocomplete on steroids

[manic torrent]

whatever actual "AI" would/could do is pure conjecture

[high yarrow]

if it can turn garbage into something , at that point id call it ai :p

recently told someone to try this with chat gpt : ```
tell it to not reply to this message but to wait 2 minutes and then reply with :hi

it just had to reply imediatly ,with , okay i will wait for two minutes, then waited 2 minutes and said hi

[dawn sand]

Does LTTLabs publish performance to power graphs like these for laptops and phones?

[dawn sand]

AI the other paddle in pong

[hearty spear]

Go look at lttlabs.com and see ?

[dawn sand]

I only see barcharts

[hearty spear]

so, no they're not making charts like this.

[dawn sand]

do they have it in the works?

[hearty spear]

will it change? We can't know what they'll do in the future.

[dawn sand]

Price to performance graphs would also be nice. Bar charts take longer to parse.

[hearty spear]

price to performance is a shitty metric

[dawn sand]

It is litteraly the only thing that matters?
If I want something for cad I want to look at the price to performance based on the price it pulls from retailers like pcpartpicker does.

[versed crown]

wrong, it's a great metric

[hearty spear]

cuz a used 50$ RX 580 / 5700XT will /wreck/ the $/frame value of any card in the last 5 years

[versed crown]

it just needs constant updating with realtime pricing, that's the hard part.

[dawn sand]

PCPP does it

[versed crown]

and yes, ability to consider used prices is v important

[dawn sand]

and performance doesn't change much

[harsh quartz]

And any reasonable person will understand that. It doesn’t devalue the metric

[dawn sand]

Also some users will only buy new and used markets are not globally equivalent

There is also the power of imagination. I can look at a graph and imagine it sliding over based on my local prices.

[high yarrow]

only if combined with price to build quality

[hearty spear]

so... you just torpedo'd the idea of why a value graph is a terrible metric?

a relative performance graph is all you really need, and then you can compare it to the prices in your market

[versed crown]

? you just admitted the end goal is a price to performance comparison

[dawn sand]

Value scatter plot would be really nice

[high yarrow]

have had $2k laptops that were so badly build (flex and other just cheap crap to put it together ) that i would have been better of with a $1500 model with half the performance but decently build

[hearty spear]

I don't see that happening, ever.

[harsh quartz]

Price to performance is a great metric when comparing new cards at MSRP values.

[dawn sand]

This is feature creep but what if you could click and drag those points to change their price?

[hearty spear]

issue being that MSRP is a made up number typically that doesn't stick around.

[dawn sand]

Doesn't sound that hard to do

[dawn sand]

It is a solved problem for cards being sold by retailers

once again, PCPP does it.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but it provided a set point, and anyone looking into it can compare actual price to MSRP and see what kind of deal they’re getting

[hearty spear]

as one of the primary things they do.

[dawn sand]

Your point being?

[hearty spear]

price tracking isn't going to be a primary goal of LTT Labs

[harsh quartz]

Wouldnt need price tracking, just MSRP at launch, or letting the consumer put in a custom value, consumer can figure it out from there

It would be nice for new cards which, typically, are sold at or close to MSRP

[hearty spear]

and I expect it will have MSRP at launch.

But given how MSRP rarely matters in the real world, a graph based on that is a bad idea

[high yarrow]

tweakers.net (srry) duch only , has an excellent price tracker btw 🙂

[dawn sand]

Keep the dots locked in the Y axis and let the user drag it on the X axis. Problem solved.

[harsh quartz]

I disagree, it would just take the person looking at the graph to have more than 3 brains cells and some sort of disclaimer saying “price subject to change” or whatnot

[hearty spear]

making the graph useless after 3 months from launch?

[dawn sand]

It also serves as a great reference point for historical data

[harsh quartz]

It’s not useless, it’s just a baseline

[dawn sand]

Showing you how much nvidia is fucking you

[hearty spear]

and the MSRP price will be listed in text on the page

you don't need a fucking graph to know what the MSRP is

[dawn sand]

So is MSRP useless or not? By your reasoning MSRP shouldn't be on the article either.

[hearty spear]

MSRP at launch is a fact. There's no reason to not have it in the product's page.

Making graphs using it is a mistake.

Two ENTIRELY different things, quit trying to gotcha me

[harsh quartz]

I love malories price/performance chart. It provides a really good point of reference to see how cards perform directly against competitors without having to go through and figure out what bullshit naming scheme they’re using this time around

[hearty spear]

Case in point:
The 4060 TI (both Versions) are fucking terrible at MSRP

Same for most of the AMD Cards.

None of them are MSRP Anymore, so... that chart would be fucking useless now

[harsh quartz]

It gives a quick reference of what card it is supposed to be compared to in what stack, and where in the stack you’re supposed to be looking for your budget

[dawn sand]

How is text scattered across articles and a scatter plot consolidating data from across articles a bad thing?
Having it on the product page is just as misleading.

With or without real time prices. It is a valuable resource.

So what if there needs to be disclaimer?

[hearty spear]

the 4000 Super launches prove you wrong, but you don't want to hear it, so whatever. I'm done.

[dawn sand]

What is blud on about

[harsh quartz]

It shows how nvidia listed the supers as opposed to the rest of the stack

[dawn sand]

You say msrp is a fact and then proceeded to say they are useless then still want to keep it in articles but don't want to visualise it?

[hearty spear]

the MSRP of every single 4000 Super card makes AMD's MSRP for the direct competition look like absolute shit.

But none of AMDs cards are MSRP, so that's a useless comparision in every possible way.

[dawn sand]

So?

When the 5000 series comes out it will be a point of comparison

[harsh quartz]

Then listing the MSRP on the product page is just as bad, like dude said. Turning it into graph form doesn’t make it objectively worse somehow

[hearty spear]

it's supposed to be a data archive.
and listing the MSRP is data.

As soon as they use it in comparisons it gets more gravitas when people look at the charts.

why did I come back here I said i was out.

[dawn sand]

Didn't LTT and GN literally do an entire video on this after the 4000 launch comparing MSRP at launch to previous generations?

[harsh quartz]

I agree that MSRP is a stupid value, but it is THE value used as the standard price comparison. I’m not arguing that it’s a good value, just that the standard should be used

[dawn sand]

it's supposed to be a data archive.
Yeah and that can be stored in an easily understandable scatter plot.

On LTTLabs, how do I look at the performance of the same GPU from all vendors?

[full fossil]

as a normal gamer can you you use the nvidia app already? since its in beta and dont want to mess things up? or do i keep geforce experience for now. and wait till the full release

[calm swan]

yeah

you can use it

[full fossil]

alright thx

[lyric sphinx]

Damn last time I have to pay for daycare for my kidws

[waxen forum]

Slot came damaged wtf even is this metal piece that’s jammed in there?

It’s a z790

[hearty spear]

a shard of metal.
Shit happens, return it for a replacement.

sucks when it happens, but it's inevitable that it will happen occasionally

[harsh quartz]

Just uhh, don’t turn it on :p

[hearty spear]

alternatively: Turn it on while on video to see if there are sparks anywhere

[harsh quartz]

Man, my cars in the shop today and I told a client I had to schedule for tomorrow and they just went “you ain’t heard of Uber?”

[hearty spear]

"You gonna pay me extra for my uber?"

[spare lintel]

https://www.xda-developers.com/intel-raptor-lake-instability-damage-permanent/

nice job intel. prepare to get sued by EU cause its illegal to sell defective stuff without recall/RMA 😄

[harsh quartz]

Have they not released the fix for it yet?

[spare lintel]

there is no fix. its permament damage, but some cpus can be managed with microcode fix but it wont come for about a month

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but that’s what I meant. I know the hardware can’t be repaired but the cause can be fixed (so they say) , I didn’t know if they had released or not

[tepid jasper]

microcode update is expected to launch kate aug early sept afaik

[harsh quartz]

Damn, I can’t believe no one’s already launched a suit with it being projected to take that long

[graceful burrow]

I'm expecting a suit over this

[waxen forum]

Just so u know I actually did turn it on but didn’t notice it was cooked until I got no display

Could of had something to warm my hands up but no fire 😭😂

[slate brook]

hi

[graceful burrow]

420 gonna go insane

[long briar]

without real time prices, it becomes useless.

That's the reason LTT labs wants to do average market price for comparison

You wouldn't pay 1.5k for a 3090 when they're worth not even half that

[graceful burrow]

You can get a 3090 for 600 usd if you're lookin

It's actually good value if you don't care about power draw

[gilded quest]

Great for those in north America
Rip europeans

[gilded quest]

If they just have to provide an RMA, then I'm not sure EU could sue since they said they'd RMA affected chips

If the EU thinks they have enough grounds to force a recall this is gonna get interesting

Gonna be a developing story in the coming months

[grim belfry]

Amazon disagrees

[gilded quest]

I want whatever that seller is smoking

[grim belfry]

Even in Monopoly money it’s way overpriced

[thorn ice]

Anyone know if Natalie's cable tie from the last video is a retail product or something she made?

Spent a bit looking for it and couldn't find it 😦

[gilded quest]

Which cable tie is that

[thorn ice]

It's a cat cable tie

[gilded quest]

Which video? Roasting the desk setups?

[thorn ice]

yep

lemme grab a picture

[gilded quest]

Okay so not the blue zip tie 😂

[tepid haven]

Yea I cant find it

Its just nowhere thats so odd

[gilded quest]

I missed that cable tie

But I was also watching on the train

[tepid haven]

even google image had no clue

[gilded quest]

Might be custom

[tepid haven]

But very cute

[gilded quest]

It's hard to tell in a screenshot from a video

[tepid haven]

To be fair you could have something similar custom printed and cut for the ears

[graceful burrow]

Looks like they cut it themselves

[tepid haven]

Or send a merch message in wan lol

[gilded quest]

I'm going with custom

[tepid haven]

Tbf the ears arent aligned

[thorn ice]

yeah, looks like I'll have to wait till friday to throw a merch message

[tepid haven]

def looks diy, good tho

[tepid haven]

yupp

Shipping to the UK says I can't do that lol

[ionic abyss]

OK I see a 4tb samsung ssd ar walmart pickup today for 30$ is that a good deal it's Sara btw

[tepid haven]

Thats got to be fake

4TB is never that cheap

Do you mean its on wallmart?

[ionic abyss]

Pickup at the local store

[tepid haven]

Can you show the listing?

Also you said its a samsung ssd and that its sara? whats sara?

[thorn ice]

Usually a woman

[tepid haven]

lol

[graceful burrow]

Could be a guy, it's 2024

[thorn ice]

I said usually.

[tepid haven]

True true

[thorn ice]

Could be non-binary.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
There are guys with colloquially girl names tho

Ebin

[tepid haven]

@ionic abyss

Could you show the listing

4TB external drives go for 180 at the absolute lowest more like 300

[graceful burrow]

He said he picked it up at a local store

Likely no listing exists

[tepid haven]

Oh damn

seems odd that wallmart would host fake items

[thorn ice]

they operate like newegg or amazon

someone could've bought online, realized it was fake, and then just dropped off at local store

[harsh quartz]

Walmart can’t check every single item sold through their marketplace

[thorn ice]

if it's sealed, they probably would've just put it back on the shelf

[long briar]

4TB HDD or SSD...?

[thorn ice]

they said ssd

[tepid haven]

And they said for pickup today so sounds like they are going to get it

[thorn ice]

if its in person, get it, run a drive check, and move on.

[long briar]

I wanted to confirm cause I highly doubt it's legit for 30 bucks

I can see a used 4TB HDD being sold for 30 bucks

[tepid haven]

Ah yes, forgive me I don't live in freedom land haha

[thorn ice]

you have asdas

they're the same place now

[tepid haven]

Same parent company are they?

[thorn ice]

Walmart bought out Asda probably 15 years ago?

[tepid haven]

Oh yea I see, honestly had no clue

[long briar]

Walmart marketplace isn't Walmart

Walmart Marketplace is more like Aliexpress

[tepid haven]

I don't live within 10 miles of one lol

[tepid haven]

Ooooo eugh

Sounds worse lol

[tepid haven]

TLDR, dont buy that, it's fake :)
