true, you can't see it, so it's magic.

no, you can do whatever you want.

[edgy sun]

But irl what i was really asking: seriously? vpn can get sniffed by feds if https on non-standard port?

[manic torrent]

dude, you're trying to fly but you can't run

If you are an active target by a nation state, you're fucked. If you aren't, reasonable measures are fine.

Your opsec sucks, because EVERYONEs opsec sucks

[edgy sun]

Right but tunneling thru https (and thus encrypting) is probably usually done to hide. Hide when all other vpns are banned by a fed gov I guess. Makes sense because a fed gov that banned all vpn to leave only this crap... would be the most likely one to monitor and try to analyze https traffic on any other port except default lmao...

[manic torrent]

all they need to do is wait for you to fuck up. Trust me, that's literally what they do. (assuming you're doing actual crime stuff)

[grim belfry]

Actual crime stuff is so lame

[manic torrent]

no, https is most of the traffic on the itnernet.

[manic torrent]

"banning all vpn" doesn't make sense, because what you think is a "vpn" is just how shit works for a lot of stuff.

[edgy sun]

But i get it. They arent wrong probably because idk... when is a browser ever doing http get to any other port? So already its either domain or address in url but both have colon port explicitly written in it.

Maybe routers. A lot of routers or sht like DS server has http on other port. Then again, it's rarely outside LAN opened up... and funny how actually if you forward settings of router on internet...

[sterile garnet]

Extreme cosplay is here apparently

[grim belfry]

Shape all VPN traffic to 256kbps!

[edgy sun]

You'd actually want to set non-standard port for at least a bit of security.

[vapid smelt]

holly hell watch your fucking god damn language we have little shits in here i mean children

[manic torrent]

.... almost all internet traffic is https, not http.

[sterile garnet]

Lmao last time it warned me in dms

[edgy sun]

And actually lol nmap or just brute force ports bots never do. Kinda funny how maybe you dont want any target on non standard port

[manic torrent]

posting this is also against the rules

[sterile garnet]

Ok then

whatever

[manic torrent]

You are just making things up and spewing them out of your keyboard hole

it's a simple matter of focus and effort vs reward

[sterile garnet]

Also I dont understand how this is uncensored, guess they specifcally like the stains

Woahhh

[edgy sun]

Well Russia tries to block certain sht atm. And a lot of people use certain protocol or server to bypass. Whenever they find them out as of late, seems like they ban em

[manic torrent]

yes, because I don't know if you've noticed, but they are literally at war, and their economy is collapsing and the people in power are trying desperately to remain so

But... that isn't the same thing as server or personal security

You are just conflating everything related to "security"

[edgy sun]

Personal experience. But idk proton somehow still worked when I updated to latest version. Nothing illegal. But sht like soundcloud idk. Annoying. *Needless to say I didnt access anything banned in Russia bc its illegal lmfao"

[edgy sun]

Well right. Because official story is Dish or some sht gets kicked out of whole country by invoking security related laws from the looks of it

But idk https all day trillions per micron directly to even least friendly country

[manic torrent]

... what is your point here

[edgy sun]

But nobody cares nearly as much bc... it's web page i guess?

Kind of weird

[manic torrent]

government bans on internet things are not super effective? news at 11?

[edgy sun]

Meanwhile you agree to hellscribe someone in germany a bunch of letters on certain band on spectro waterfall

...and also like rot13 the message lmfao

Now it's coded message technically right? Actually qualifies for that law to make it federally illegal lol

[manic torrent]

.... have you read the law you're going on about? or any article about it?

I am not sure what the hell you're talking about, you just dump stream of consciousness into chat

[edgy sun]

Federal regulation in Canada

And I was told multiple times by enthusiast w ham license

[vapid smelt]

our soon to be 51st state

[grim belfry]

Except for social media bans for kids*

[edgy sun]

Which btw you lose that license I heard if you get caught doing stuff against regulations let alone federal crimes.

[edgy sun]

I actually want this. But personally prettier if provinces and territories become separate states

But if so, I imagined in the end US absorbs a couple like Alberta n sht for the oil and least problems provincially... I hope I move there in time lmao

Ontario idk who wants it. Probably a liability if anythn.

[grim belfry]

lol what are you on about

[neat gull]

News is getting a bit too local and bit too late

Ain’t nobody told me about this

[edgy sun]

People say Canada will become 51st state like its a bad thing

[vapid smelt]

why cant that happen to my trash can 😦

[neat gull]

What happened to Canadian independence

[manic torrent]

you do not understand shit about fucked

[neat gull]

I would like one to be spawned

[grim belfry]

That’s debatable. But I highly highly doubt that will happen

[manic torrent]

"I understand LITERALLY NOTHING about US or canadian politics or power or anything"

[prime solstice]

and from what i heard canada is planning on cutting power from the us or it is probably something else

[edgy sun]

Independence of what?... a constitional monarchy or whatever? Lol

[neat gull]

Are you being fr

Did you go to high school

[summer folio]

Real, I never played ddlc though.
Just watched PewDiePie play it & do voice over for all the characters

[edgy sun]

Well speaking of independence thats another thing. Why did so many people get pissed about getting rid of nafta? Thats literally cause our economy depended on US lmfao. Imagine alternate reality where we've been way more independent entire time... imagine Canadian silicon

[neat gull]

Oh ur Canadian

Lol that’s funny

[edgy sun]

Imagine anything outside of like toyota, honda and GM plants. German ones like AMG specifically have manufacture or assembly done at home to be 'authentic' right?

[manic torrent]

..... what the fucking shit "authentic"

[edgy sun]

Soon to be US citizen apparently. US dollar salary. 51st state would have to draw its own constitution first, right? But if youre forced to join how does that work lol

[edgy sun]

Idk. Are there not AMG centres which are only in Germany?

[simple copper]

Man my old job did made in America clothes for the type of rednecks who are republicans. And not one of them bought those clothes because they were nearly $100 per item

[manic torrent]

not the point at all

[manic torrent]

It doesn't, you get fucked like Puerto Rico

[edgy sun]

Well I was told it's usually better cars supppsedly. Like M bimmers had their own assembly line or some sht

[manic torrent]

.... yes, but you said, specifically, "authentic"

[ashen estuary]

what

[winged spire]

They put the theft thing on the GPS tracker lol

Also that gps tag is exactly what I’m looking for for my drones and rockets

[summer folio]

MiSide

[edgy sun]

I was gonna say lmfao. People talking about making other countries 51st state... but how bout making things like PR a state first? It's a 'territory' or something officially. Means once upon a time 'colony' but they renamed it?

Im correct on this? It doesnt have its own state constitution, it's not a state, it's not a star on the flag; maybe it's one of the stripes, it was once called a colony

And lastly territory is just what they started calling them specifically to get rid of that word. On the bright side, you could maybe buy nvidia msrp without federal tax lmfao

[manic torrent]

amazingly... you are basically correct

[edgy sun]

Maybe puerto rican is keeping more money if not working for fed itself. Def no income tax. 25% of my cheque idk could have easily bought 5070 maybe.

[ashen estuary]

i sent that message last year jfc

[undone frigate]

can someone tell me how to disable this?

[edgy sun]

Oh as soon as I thought of it, I had to look it up... because i would expect no less from a gov that doesnt let you vote... so you dont get repesented for anything federal... so wtf you'd pay money for

[ashen estuary]

?

[manic torrent]

that's... the point, yeah.

[edgy sun]

But I know everyone needs GPU. I wouldnt want my country taking GPU money from me lmfao

[viscid elm]

never

[undone frigate]

Ok

[viscid elm]

jk

[vapid smelt]

nitro has a better cooler

[edgy sun]

But it's crazy how a lot of people associate that infamous phrase 'taxation w/o representation' w sovereign citizens, flat earther etc

But irl its actually a thing and makes perfect sense if you think about it

[stable jetty]

but will it realistcly change something, im not planning on overclocking (cuz i thinki i will have to change out the psu for a better one cuz i have 650w and recomended is 700) and the non nitro one looks better :P

[edgy sun]

But whatever thats just politics. In the end, you want to keep as much gpu money as possible lmao

[summer folio]

Good One!

[manic torrent]

.... except the irony is that it wasn't about that at all, that was the catchphrase they used, but hey.

[edgy sun]

Either way, virtually everybody talking about colonialism doesn't remember PR or even know that it's not a state 2025. Tbh nobody seems to even question literally the other half of stars and stripes... what are thooose! Lol

[vapid smelt]

nitor would be better with noise

[edgy sun]

And at the end of the day, colonialism is just another way of saying you're not guaranteed to own your PC

[manic torrent]

.... you were so close

[edgy sun]

Imagine like the Duke and Marquist walk in to your room, unplug and pick up your pc. Then they walk out because they can

[summer folio]

U.S.A. is just a EUropean Colony anyways. 🇪🇺

[winged spire]

Euros wish they were American lol

Yall have to live in the same continent as the fr*nch

[edgy sun]

Irl historically usually not Duke himself and theyd at least give a reason they hereby seized it. As the chainmail cladden guards carry it away, a guy in expensive clothes clears throat and unrolls crusty scroll

[winged spire]

A fate worse than death

[edgy sun]

Btw that must be what Louis R expresses when he says losing the right to own your sht.

[golden atlas]

hell no

[edgy sun]

Like 2066 samsung does not sell any tv at all. You can only rent it. Id say something about maybe your movies but tbh lol

They already pulled things people 'bought' from 'their libraries'

[winged spire]

Good most Samsung TVs are horrible

There’s only a handful of skus that are good

[edgy sun]

Never happened to me though 2025 bc only thing I ever punished myself w is Netflix

I cant believe it when my friend says he has to rent it from prime or disney or some sht for comparable price to back in the days

At least theyre calling it for what it is instead of buying idk. Netflix you cant buy or rent but you know eventually it will disappear as well lol

(And often times reappear after some random indefinite time; probably for a similar period)

Or maybe gets banhammered by your ministry of culture or some sht if you have one. Now it's gone for good. DVD at least you still had it if already purchased lol

So tbh thats the philosophical problem: if something gets pulled because regulation or law blocks it from sale... can they or must they pull it from digital libraries of people who technically bought it?

[manic torrent]

It's not a philosophical problem, that's a legal problem

[edgy sun]

Because i mean they could host for people that got it before... but now theyre distributing content potentially which could be also subject to those regulations?

[manic torrent]

... Which is why it's a fucking legal problem

There are people for whom this is their entire job

[edgy sun]

I feel like it's everybody's job to back up and keep up to date their entire steam library

and xbox

Bc even in the best possible scenarios where they play the nicest guy in terms of consumer rights, they can just go bankrupt

No more money servers shut down

I feel people overlook sht like Steam is kinda doing a favor by providing industry lead tier speeds and availability of data centers to download any game 'owned' on demand

[grim belfry]

If you buy physical media, the copyright holder is also able to revoke your license to use that content

[edgy sun]

As much as you want too. Has anyone ever hit a monthly limit or gotten throttled by steam? Lol

[manic torrent]

Dude. Get some fucking medication

[edgy sun]

Already done my friend ||alcohol||

Jk

[manic torrent]

You do not understand

The physical item and the license are separate logical entities

[grim belfry]

Valve’s transit wouldn’t really be that expensive. They are very well connected, at least in Australia

[edgy sun]

Right! Was actually considering first to reply to bob with medication to stop delusion that 'at least I owned my games'. Which everybody except myself needs it seems

[manic torrent]

This is literally their entire business model. Providing an excellent service, removing barriers to ease of use, and taking a nice cut

[edgy sun]

Irl you only owned the disc and sht its printed on basically. Even back in the day you bought license to use somebody else's property along with a physical media copy

[edgy sun]

Valve has datacenters on like every continent short of Antarctica (?) similar to google

And dl speeds that tbh I think even google drive paid tier subscriptions are slower lol

Which is actually bad imo because drive is specifically made for a lot of transferring, storing, backing up, etc

[manic torrent]

They cannot physically prevent it, no.

But that's not the same thing

[summer folio]

Love Dungeon Keeper 2, or really, any Swedish translated game. Just makes it hilarious

[grim belfry]

Lol Valve doesn’t own any data centres

But AS32590 or whatever they are is everywhere

[summer folio]

Diablo 1 on PS1 was translated to Swedish
2 player on 1 screen supported

[edgy sun]

It should be faster than Steam at least imo. Or perhaps Steam shouldn't be that fast more like. Literally you buy games but they host and provide unlim downloads to like millions of people everywhere lmfao

[manic torrent]

.... Providing a CDN of shared content is not the same thing as providing user fucking storage.

[edgy sun]

But again as long as you get it once, they had minimally fulfilled the very same original duty: give you a copy once.

[summer folio]

Just fixed a friends computer.
I blocked it from being able to connect to Steam/Epic Games/EA websites though.
Buying games is cringe, piracy is king.

[edgy sun]

Right my point exactly

[manic torrent]

No, it really wasn't.

[pearl dawn]

damn it It's my birthday

😦

[summer folio]

Happy Birthday!

[pearl dawn]

tanks

It's a big one ig

[edgy sun]

They used to still be responsible for distribution. But only once. Not perpetual fkn mega cdn with most people using it as if it's their user storage... which, correct, it isn't lmao

But on the other hand, they also sell xboxes now with no physical media drive and definitely not enough storage to keep 12 games 150GB or more

Actually does xbox and/or ps5 today let you back up your games like in the old days?

But idk why though. I mean you have the physical disc. Was dumb. Then they removed ps3 linux basically because of it when people copied and launched the backups

[grim belfry]

The discs would be basically empty

[edgy sun]

But now I feel like it's necessary... only on digital edition xbox... where?

On the hdd? So you swap it? Oh right it supports usb external drive right?

[grim belfry]

?

[edgy sun]

There are consoles today that have no removable storage at all... except usb external drive and internal

[grim belfry]

Yes…

And?

Did you know there are cars with wheels?

[edgy sun]

Honestly ps3 was interesting period

Bc zero day they all came at least 60GB

I dont remember but maybe eventually 40 or some sht but way later

And some models came up to 120 if I remember correctly

[manic torrent]

Do you know that some people have thoughts they don't share

[edgy sun]

But all with same optical drive support because that was not the 'main' but actually THE distribution method for a lot of games

[edgy sun]

Defs. Like 'why tf did my 2025 console come with 100GB'

Or 'since it did come with 100GB, why tf doesnt it have a disc drive'

Sht or even at least a cartridge slot like nintendo haha

[manic torrent]

"omg if only there was a way to add an SSD .. oh wait there is, I'm just a fucking idiot"

[edgy sun]

You can. So your whole library would fit on a few? And youd be swapping out drive instead of discs

[manic torrent]

"can someone pass the crack?"

[edgy sun]

But also ive seen external ones thru usb on xbox i believe

[edgy sun]

The joke is the ambiguity right?

[modern pier]

Fastest 4G I’ve ever seen.

[edgy sun]

Only ever in convos like this one it perhaps helps to clarify... but regardless both are against rules here and illegal so no

[grim belfry]

Have been able to get this for years in quieter spots with carrier agg

[modern pier]

Australia

[grim belfry]

What’s that?

[covert cradle]

Down undah

[modern pier]

oh yeah

[grim belfry]

:p

[edgy sun]

I once had hspa+ speeds max because i hung on to a grandfather asf plan with true unlimited. Meanwhile same carrier lte and up like 100 something max and costs close to a bill as well

Then one day they accidentally changed it while they themselves tried to do something else

Their fault entirely, i was still owed same thing as before legally

[edgy sun]

But ofc 'they didnt have the option anymore'. As always, I threaten to report to CRTC and he laughed and basically dared me

But after screaming at them for a bit longer and being gaslit into feeling like a Karen, amazingly a high enough manager restored it

[grim belfry]

This is most likely LTE-A

[edgy sun]

So they just have a custom build option w set price. So it's a lie when they try to say they can't physically do it

But i guess because of just the recency of this plan (whatever date the generation was when they created it on the spot)...

I now connected thru LTE ap as well lol

And my speeds were kind of faster. Their LTE speeds I guess which was better than <8Mbps down and like sub megabit upload

In BYTES i never saw the M for mega both. Http post god forbid files 2025.

Even GET tbh. 2025 just the header on like youtube lol

Tl;dr today '3.5g' speeds not even usable to surf web. LTE minimum but my speeds still kinda crawl

Also I guess for anybody who wanted unlimited LTE with fido 2025, there you have it. If you had old true unlimited 3g plan and got them to accidentally delete it, they have no choice but to reconnect it but with LTE lol

[manic torrent]

bliss

[covert cradle]

you could throw in the ol' *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer and see the type in "phone information"

unless you've got a stinky phone that disabled that dialer code

[summer folio]

Don't you guys have unlimited 4G & 5G plans by now?

[minor sage]

My monitor has a USB C port

Can I connect it to my M4 mac mini using thunderbolt?

And get 240hz?

[edgy sun]

Checked recently and pretty sure Fido and Rogers at least nope

[vapid smelt]

if you keep on buying plans you can have unlimited

[edgy sun]

Not one. I even checked data only plans which they had like one or two 80GB and 120 maybe. Both same price as the phone line ones pretty sure.. or even more expensive

[grim belfry]

It’s star 3001 pound 12345 pound on iOS

[edgy sun]

I feel like at least data only regardless of connection or year should at least have option for unlimited lmao

[covert cradle]

oh, I thought that was android looking. I haven't seen ios in years

[edgy sun]

And idk but paying for same thing but basically no line or unlimited text heh

But again i mean it's possible w my carrier to get unlimited lte if you can do what i described

So basically:

Already have same unl plan you held onto for over decade
Call them about some addition or change not to the plan itself (mine was ownership transfer)
Hope they press wrong button and delete it
Ask them to reinstate it as per legal contract
Get lied to your face 999 times
Threaten to report to federal comms regulators
Scream at them a bunch
Eventually get it back but with LTE

Hashtag canadian unlimited lte lol

[covert cradle]

[edgy sun]

I know from personal experience that in like north Ontario, there are areas so secluded that one of the actual criteria for buying a plot of land is at least one bar of LTE lol

[grim belfry]

Well duh

[edgy sun]

Until you put up an lte modem and camera w solar panel to have a way of catching them in the act, you will get repeatedly burgled lmao

[pallid latch]

Anyone here use oled? Problems with burn-in?

[edgy sun]

No road so police officer even with like ATV or dog sled won't get there nearly fast enough. True story

[manic torrent]

yes, and no, respectively

[vapid smelt]

most of our phones have oled screens

[pallid latch]

I have massive burn-in on my phone :/

[pallid latch]

You take any special precautions?

[manic torrent]

I use dark mode, I have my task bar hidden, and I rotate my backgrounds, and I don't leave windows in the same place for days

[edgy sun]

Honestly how? All my life not once had this problem w oleds

Just use dark theme but tbh white text still there. Just dont crank your brightness past half

Ive had it but never permanent

[pallid latch]

Oh, seems like a bit of a hassle imo, might wait for them to refine it a bit more

[manic torrent]

but I am also using a first gen oled.

you should have your task bar hidden and icons off in 2025 anyway

[pallid latch]

Saw an interesting monitor from rog where it turns off with a sensor

[rustic tundra]

i am going oled and as far as i know, gen 3 oleds barely get burn in

[edgy sun]

Once maybe got a galaxy s10 or something refurb and it was on the setup screen in the box for some reason. Maybe that (hella) burnin was permanent

[rustic tundra]

so i can basically have my taskbar on

[edgy sun]

But i had to return it anyways thankfully because other issues

[manic torrent]

taskbar on is living in the past

[pallid latch]

How much is a oled compared to ips?

[manic torrent]

at least 7

[vapid smelt]

allot of oleds monitors are on sale right now

[rustic tundra]

my 27 4k ips costs 570 eur new, the 32 4k oled i am going for is 1250 eur

[edgy sun]

No but out of the box setup screen is static white backdrop on like max brightness

[rustic tundra]

so basically double the price

[pallid latch]

Sheesh that is hefty

[rustic tundra]

not much

at least i will have a dual 4k setup

[edgy sun]

Or boot loop sometimes you can leave it charging and samsung logo is max brightness as well. Real ways to burn in oled

[rustic tundra]

[rustic tundra]

fym i always have my taskbar on

i dislike hiding it

sometimes it bugs out

[manic torrent]

I mean that there's no need for it. The only thing you actually want on your taskbar is your clock

[rustic tundra]

apps can bug out with it hiding

[edgy sun]

I literally have it on 24/7 and doesnt burn in permanently

[manic torrent]

which apps. What are you doing on your PC.

[vapid smelt]

just a buy a mini led monitor if you are worried about burn in

[edgy sun]

Again i think only true precaution is brightneee

[rustic tundra]

i tried the taskbar hiding and games and many apps bugged out when switching to them

[manic torrent]

user error

[grim belfry]

I turned my taskbar back on

I can’t cope with change

[rustic tundra]

i need my taskbar on

[edgy sun]

You dont realize how much darker the white is compared to background

[grim belfry]

I am but a human after all

[rustic tundra]

i want people to know i use 11

[vapid smelt]

i use 10

[manic torrent]

tis the burden we carry

[rustic tundra]

i also noticed steam big picture has a bug where bottom row of pixels isnt covered by it in the mode

[edgy sun]

Bc when I think about it, dark theme is bs. Youll burn in less of the pixels physically maybe but the result is the same. Only diff is you burned in white carrier logo or black

[rustic tundra]

there is a reason the icons move on the 11 taskbar when opening new apps

[edgy sun]

Maybe white taskbar you also see the stripe

[rustic tundra]

its here to prevent image persistence and burn in

[edgy sun]

I doubt thats the reason lol

[rustic tundra]

it could be

[pallid latch]

Anyone recently moved from 1440p to 4k? Is the difference huge?

[manic torrent]

it depends

[rustic tundra]

i jumped from 1080 straight to 4k

trust me you do not want 27 1440 if you want true image quality

[edgy sun]

They had that on plasmas even I remember: anti burnin function where it shifted image slightly

[rustic tundra]

its like 100 ppi

[pallid latch]

Lol thats what my new monitor is

[pallid latch]

On what?

[rustic tundra]

you should check how insanely small pixels are on 4k 27 and 32

[edgy sun]

But idk I mean 1px shift you still have same color in most of logo or whatnot

[rustic tundra]

they are not visible unless youre like 5cm away from the screen paying very close attention

[pallid latch]

I heard its ideal for 1080p 24" 1440p 27" 4k 32"

[rustic tundra]

lies for 1440

27 1440 has similar pixel density as 24 1080

[edgy sun]

On oled, you have to basically avoid same pixels staying lit up all the time right? If its black, it's cooling off

[rustic tundra]

4k is the true jump in density

[pallid latch]

Ah shit

[rustic tundra]

think about pixels as candles, they are on, they burn out

[edgy sun]

Again, just brightness 25% and never failed

[rustic tundra]

newer oled uses more efficient material

so they burn out very slowly

[edgy sun]

If you have too much sun, I turn it up briefly. But thats about it.

[rustic tundra]

dw about it without hdr

peak brightness without hdr is like 300 nits at most

[vapid smelt]

27-inch 1440p is 109 ppi while 1080p 24 is 92ppi

[rustic tundra]

27 4k is 164 ppi

32 4k is 140 ppi

i probably wont regret going 32

its like a tv size at that point

🙏

[vapid smelt]

nah 24 is

[pallid latch]

Too bad monitors are so damn expensive here, maybe next one will be 4k

[rustic tundra]

i am going oled bc thats what i promised myself to do as a 2025 start

i will also refresh my rig for 2025 and leave it without upgrades for 10 years

[vapid smelt]

why not wait a few months after CES so the new shit comes out

[rustic tundra]

i havent seen lg release any 27 4k oled

[surreal lodge]

I met Linus today

[rustic tundra]

i am getting the 5080 tho

as a part of the 2025 refresh

[vapid smelt]

k

[surreal lodge]

yes

[pallid latch]

Cool!

[rustic tundra]

2025 because its a cool looking number

why not refresh it for that

[edgy sun]

unless you manually have the brightness cranked at all times

[rustic tundra]

that oled wont even last 3 years

unless

i mean i will still have my 27 4k

i just hope microled comes to the general consumer market

it wont matter to me even if its like a 32 1080

[long briar]

which one though

[edgy sun]

Again, you asked and my answer is brightness low is the only true remedy. New or old display. Never had issues all my life. This oled rn is well past 3 years

[rustic tundra]

the hdr brightness would be insane

[long briar]

I'm just worried about failing power supplies - especially low end ones over 5 years old

[full fossil]

@long briar Have any of you guys dyed your hair?

I haven't

[long briar]

Why ping me? also yes

[edgy sun]

Just did service menu test all three colors, white, and black

[rustic tundra]

i will for sure have some static elements on with my usage

[edgy sun]

Tbh blue might look like theres a very slight edge of where taskbar is

[rustic tundra]

i play minecraft like 90% of the time

[edgy sun]

Gonna check later if its gone

[rustic tundra]

let me guess its a oled that uses each color as a separate organic layer

[edgy sun]

Am I crazy or is blue the one that always seems to burn in first?

[rustic tundra]

no its common with that

blue material burns out faster

[edgy sun]

Heh

[rustic tundra]

thats why the oled i am going for is a white

every pixel will burn out evenly

woled ftw

[edgy sun]

So maybe in addition to brightness, only other thing could help is set the color temperature on the warm side

[rustic tundra]

that additional white pixel would help with many things

instead of using all rgb pixels to make white there is white designated for that

reducing burn in

[edgy sun]

Which btw max brightness eats more battery anyways. Cool temp is strain on the eyes.

[rustic tundra]

i rather my colors accurate

my ips has great colors but the contrast ratio is horrid

it feels good af to play at 4k

youre immersed more than anything else

[edgy sun]

Yeah but i feel like thats a moot point on any display short of amazing

[rustic tundra]

just get a woled

[edgy sun]

LCD screens actually i swear are the ones ive had burn in issues somehow

Like i have an lcd panel I think backlight at max damaged it or something

[rustic tundra]

i wanted to do image persistence on my lcds but even after hours it had NOTHING

almost like i am lucky or something

[edgy sun]

The issues weird it comes and goes in periods. Win taskbar and titlebar burned in (titlebar usually in same place too because maximized focus window)

[rustic tundra]

even on a 2006 monitor i have

no image persistence

miracle

[edgy sun]

I even did oem menu burn in fix thingy for hours. Nope.

[rustic tundra]

bro i had my taskbar on for 10 hours and it was absolutely fine

[edgy sun]

Manually i could kinda erase some of it with cursor on black desktop picture moving back n forth

[rustic tundra]

almost like lg makes their displays that well

both are lgs

i even tried rtings image persistence test

[edgy sun]

Yeah but with lcd its a different issue. The crystals have memory and get stuck in one position or some sht.

[rustic tundra]

nothing

[rustic tundra]

thats what i am talking about

lcd image persistence

it mostly happes on tft lcds

but it can happen on every lcd if the pixel is at one voltage for time

i think it didnt happen on my 2006 monitor bc its a vga one and there is a very small effect happening where the pixels flash little

[edgy sun]

But oddly enough I feel like the heat from backlight 100% for days is what got them stuck idk. So ultimately, still 'burnin'

Only maybe it doesnt matter if the pixels were completely black or not

[rustic tundra]

read about image persistence

actual burn in rarely happens on lcds

[long briar]

LTPS LCDs have image retention issues, but some IPS do as well.

[rustic tundra]

they can recover after time

[long briar]

My laptop has permanent image retention

[rustic tundra]

retention persistence

whats the difference between those words😭

[long briar]

Zephyrus G16 2023

same thing basically

[vapid smelt]

asus quality

[rustic tundra]

scamsus

[long briar]

there's nothing quite like it and it's served me quite well

[edgy sun]

Yeah idk but I feel like LCDs have way more of that problem than even oled lmfao

[rustic tundra]

thats a you isse

[edgy sun]

Actually that lcd burnin was asus monitor lol

[long briar]

well I can tell you this much, I've had more issues with image retention on LCDs than oled so far

[rustic tundra]

i intentionally left my displays on to see if they get it

[long briar]

my S6 Edge had a status bar burned in and that was about it

Every other phone with oled has been fine

[rustic tundra]

asus using horrid lcds confirmed??

[edgy sun]

I mean something definitely off with mine. But it's also fairly old

[rustic tundra]

my monitors are lg and they have no image issues

i trust lg with oled too

thats why i am going lg and not scamsus

[edgy sun]

But still never had that problem on even 1200BC Nec lcd lmfao

[long briar]

not really

[edgy sun]

The colors changed but its the plastic. LCD still fine

[rustic tundra]

asus monitors look ass to me

“gamer” design ahh

[long briar]

you meant rog monitors?

Asus are fine, proart is pretty good

[rustic tundra]

them

lg monitors look best

[edgy sun]

But the backlight so much darker and dreck colored compared to modern ones. Literally no setting combination for both to use in dual monitor setup

[rustic tundra]

the oled is just a simplistic stand

[edgy sun]

The temperature on normal one doesnt go that yellow

[long briar]

you're complaining about stands when basically all high end monitors use the same stand

[vapid smelt]

like a gross fake kim k ass or nice one?

[long briar]

they're all the same for support, same height adjustment, same rotation if the height of the stand allows for it

[rustic tundra]

the lg one is just 1 piece

[long briar]

wait that's worse then

[edgy sun]

Problem with ips on phone is find me one that has it. Last I saw was on xiaomi around 2015

[long briar]

even my cheap msi monitor came with height adjustable

[gilded quest]

Monitors come with stands?

[rustic tundra]

32gs95ue/uv

that one

simplistic stand

[edgy sun]

And wall mounts sometimes

[rustic tundra]

giving me apple vibes

[vapid smelt]

<apple taking notes

[gilded quest]

Put your monitor immediately on a VESA fully adjustable arm clamped to your desk

[rustic tundra]

no

[edgy sun]

Thats psychotic behavior

[gilded quest]

Its just better

[rustic tundra]

it aint better

i got no space either

[gilded quest]

All my monitors are on VESA arms

[vapid smelt]

you guys use the included stands?!

[gilded quest]

It's saves space

[edgy sun]

Fk wall mount over desk

[gilded quest]

I rent

[rustic tundra]

i got no space to mount a vesa mount

[edgy sun]

And adjust yourself lol

[rustic tundra]

i prefer having a stand

what if i move monitors around?

[long briar]

I use a monitor arm since I need to move my monitor out of the way, but stands still matter

[vapid smelt]

do you?

[rustic tundra]

i do

[gilded quest]

Have ready to go vesa arms everywhere

[rustic tundra]

many times

[long briar]

and having a height adjustable stand is just better than a fixed stand

[edgy sun]

Well yeah except special cases like repair shop or something

[long briar]

plus most you can just hit a button and it comes off

[rustic tundra]

i dont wanna bother with stands

[gilded quest]

I didn't even use the stand for my new OLED

[long briar]

fixed stands are beyond ass, though

[gilded quest]

Immediately attached the VESA mount

[rustic tundra]

remember yall, everyone has own preferences and there arent many people who may share your preferences

[gilded quest]

The AOC stand base was metal I think so it seemed reasonably high quality

[rustic tundra]

i prefer stands

[vapid smelt]

i didnt know aoc was into metal

[edgy sun]

Ive seen like 50in tv wallmounted not even to studs

[gilded quest]

Ayo

[edgy sun]

Just drywall screws

[long briar]

that's... mostly fine?

50 isn't that big and usually isn't heavy

there's 50 inches out there you could lift with two fingers

[gilded quest]

Most LCD TV these days are stupid light

[long briar]

ya

[gilded quest]

Even up to 65"

[rustic tundra]

i always thought aoc was a russian brand bc the logo looks exactly like “лос” which reads as “los”

[gilded quest]

Although my arms aren't long enough to pick up a 65"

[long briar]

shorty

[gilded quest]

No it's just a budget brand

[long briar]

AOC Q27G3XMN is genuinely an excellent monitor, though.

[gilded quest]

When I worked retail I had a coworker attempt to shove a 65" TV in the back of some dudes BMW 2 series

[long briar]

ah so like me

[gilded quest]

We couldn't get it back out

We had to cut the side of the box off and surgically remove it since the doors wouldn't close

[long briar]

LOLLLL

[gilded quest]

I said it wouldn't fit, but the other worked wanted to try

[vapid smelt]

i had a guy come in a camry to pick up a 75"

[long briar]

nah 65" boxes barely fit flat in a rav4 let alone a 2 series

and I'd know

[rustic tundra]

97 inch on top of a polo

🙏

[gilded quest]

There was a dude with a Camry or something of the same size that picked up 6(!) 55" for his air bnbs

Strapped them to the roof 2 at a time

[manic torrent]

haha, with 07-09 subaru legacy, you can put the bonnet in the boot .... but you need to open the rear door to be able to get it in 😄

[long briar]

that's not that bad actually, camry is pretty wide iirc

[vapid smelt]

but the box says to keep up right

[long briar]

a 2 series is not wide at all.

[rustic tundra]

depending which camry🤯

[gilded quest]

I'm loving my AOC Agon Pro 27" QD-OLED (I forgot model number)

[gilded quest]

No, it says SCREEN TOWARDS ENEMY

[rustic tundra]

i am never buying a large tv

because we will never watch tv

[vapid smelt]

not 5.2 feet wide

[rustic tundra]

metric sir

[vapid smelt]

1600mm

[gilded quest]

I'd probably get a 55" oled

[rustic tundra]

is it not that wide?

[gilded quest]

Don't really need a big tv

[vapid smelt]

55 inch tvs normally fit in the back seat of trucks

[gilded quest]

I did manage to fit a 65" LG C9 in a Model 3

[manic torrent]

I love that 55" isn't big 😄

[rustic tundra]

i am never having a family so i dont even need a tv

[manic torrent]

I mean, I don't disagree, it's just hilarious

[long briar]

I've used my rav 4 to bring around 60" flat in the back with room to spare

[gilded quest]

It isn't these days lol

[manic torrent]

edgy, aren't we

[long briar]

what a time innit

[rustic tundra]

what the hell am i gonna use that thing

[vapid smelt]

hey i have loaded many 98"tvs now so 55 is super smoll

[long briar]

motherglass goes crazy

[rustic tundra]

que

[manic torrent]

how old are you

[rustic tundra]

20

[long briar]

shocking.

[rustic tundra]

why would a homosexual need a family these days tf

humanity has like 10 years until we fall so good luck starting a family

[long briar]

?????

[vapid smelt]

so you dont get sent into a evil retirement home when you get old

[long briar]

that's a take and a half

[manic torrent]

.... lol

that makes no sense at all

[rustic tundra]

why do i need that

[manic torrent]

I mean, you're not wrong

[rustic tundra]

will i not have a own home?

[long briar]

in this state of economy? yea probably

[manic torrent]

You will never own a home

[rustic tundra]

probably in the us

[vapid smelt]

you can own a rv

[long briar]

I don't live in the states.

[vapid smelt]

soon you will

[long briar]

51st state memes becoming real is actually hilarious

[manic torrent]

apparently trump is planning to annex panama and canada

[rustic tundra]

depending on area homes are not expensive

[vapid smelt]

why would justin leave if it wasnt

[long briar]

yayaya It's not gonna happen but I wanna see what happens

[rustic tundra]

i dont live in north america at all

[long briar]

so that the liberal party might regain support?

[rustic tundra]

youre talking with an european

[long briar]

The same way democrats kicked out biden

[vapid smelt]

nah so they can become the 51st stae ofc 😛

[long briar]

our country is actually so doomed

[rustic tundra]

homes can be cheap

[manic torrent]

lol. "depending on area". Nobody under the age of 30 that isn't inheriting is going to own a house in this country.

[rustic tundra]

which country

[manic torrent]

australia.

[vapid smelt]

canada usa aus uk

[rustic tundra]

i am not even in those lmao

😭

shocking

[vapid smelt]

only people as old as bob had a chance to own a home

[supple pawn]

To be fair, someone under 30 in the US can own a house if they take on a lifetime of crippling debt

[manic torrent]

even then. gotta be a bit older

[rustic tundra]

why the hell are you talking about aus to me

i am in EUROPE

homes can be cheap

[vapid smelt]

or live in an area with little or no good jobs

[rustic tundra]

i am earning for one with my bf

we have some saved already

[vapid smelt]

with me?! o thank you

[rustic tundra]

💔🙏lmao

[long briar]

Depending on where you live in Canada, you can own a home at 25 actually.

[vapid smelt]

if you live an hour away from a real city sure

[supple pawn]

Even that isn't a guarantee anymore. I live in such a place. Houses were bought up by people from well out of town, prices are still high lol

[long briar]

Within the city, I'd know

[rustic tundra]

prices are different in the area we look at

he found one for 100k eur

[long briar]

The issue isn't housing prices but rather the jobs you can get

you can work in oil here and literally print money

[rustic tundra]

its near a large city

[vapid smelt]

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/303-1st-Ave-W-Maidstone-SK-S0M-1M0/2056486804_zpid/

[rustic tundra]

i have a well paying job enough for me to do a 2025 refresh of my already fairly new rig😭

[supple pawn]

Arguing housing across a country the size of the us or Canada is foolish anyway. Housing prices are going to be way too dependant on locality, no way to generalize across a large country.

[manic torrent]

actually that's literally what statistics is FOR

[vapid smelt]

i can buy a house that burnt down for 300k

[long briar]

still more structurally sound than many newly built homes

[rustic tundra]

america in a nutshell

[supple pawn]

I have a degree in math mate, I know how statistics work. Statistics are never a perfect representation, a country level statistical analysis will never line up perfectly at a local level, it doesn't work that way.

[long briar]

Vancouver is literally crazy rich asians

[manic torrent]

no, it won't line up perfectly, but if housing affordability has got worse across the entire country then.....yeah

[long briar]

surprising Calgary and Edmonton hasn't changed much at all

[vapid smelt]

with all that gambling im shocked none of you made it big and bought a house

[rustic tundra]

american pricing

[manic torrent]

I know right?

[supple pawn]

Yes, it means the average in the country has gotten worse. That does not necessarily say anything about a locality. You cannot make that assumption without showing further proof.

[grim belfry]

You very much can make that assumption though

That is literally what an assumption is

[supple pawn]

Assumptions not based on facts and evidence are worthless.

[grim belfry]

An assumption with proof is no longer an assumption

[manic torrent]

except it ... is based on facts

facts: the whole country is less affordable housing than 10 years ago
assumption: area A is less affordable than 10 years ago.

[supple pawn]

Alright, then provide some evidence that a upward rise in housing costs proves an upward rise in housing cost in every locality. Can you do that?

[long briar]

oh I remember this was an introductory statistics study

[supple pawn]

It's easy to disprove. As soon as someone shows there exists one area where housing costs have not gone up, your statement is false.

[manic torrent]

except that you're not making a statement of fact, you're making a reasonable assumption

[long briar]

null hypothesis: housing affordability hasn't worsened
alternative hypothesis: housing affordability has worsened

You can take data from somewhere I don't remember what but the result is always that affordability has worsened

[rustic tundra]

europe so cool i can afford a 5090 by sitting

🗣️

[supple pawn]

Alrighty, then you admit you're not stating fact, you're giving an opinion.

[long briar]

wait what

[grim belfry]

That’s literally what an assumption is

[supple pawn]

No, not all assumptions are opinions. Assumptions can be made from existing facts or axioms. They are not synonymous.

[long briar]

you take a significance level, you compare your data and state whether the data says one thing or another

[manic torrent]

I hope you don't assume your fridge is working

[long briar]

will there be outliers? always

but that doesn't mean the assumption isn't true

[supple pawn]

You still have to give scope, it's not optional.

[manic torrent]

I personally check my milk for spoilage

[long briar]

wdym by give scope?

[grim belfry]

What’s even a fact then?

[supple pawn]

Where has housing prices worsened? Statistics needs a defined scope. And the statistics apply to that specific scope. It's not magic.

[vapid smelt]

my grandparents had 7 kids both worked at sears and bought house, my parents had my dad work as a plumber and bought a house, and i work at a warehouse and own a car

life aint fair man 😦

[supple pawn]

a piece of information presented as having objective reality

[long briar]

no, in order to generalize findings to a greater area you have to have random sampling from all places.;

[vapid smelt]

i should go to ausi land start gambling

[supple pawn]

According to Merriam Webster

[long briar]

that doesn't mean you pick and choose where you want your data to be from

you randomly sample from a dataset

[supple pawn]

Yes, if you can get a random sampling from every place, then you can make inferences from every space. But you need a random sampling from every place, and places from which you do not randomly sample are not in scope.

[long briar]

and here we're using data from Can, US, and Aus and we can say that housing as worsened in each of the countries

[supple pawn]

A sample from the us, for example, requires a random sample from the us, and can create statistics which are useful to draw a generalization for the US. You can absolutely limit your random samples to a specific state if you wish to draw statistics from that specific state.

[supple pawn]

With data from the us, Canada, and aus, you can say housing has worsened, in general, in canada, the us, and aus. This does not eliminate the possibility that a city is bumfuck Nebraska has not. It just tells you an average and probability.

[rustic tundra]

as an european it feels funny about trump wanting to unite canada and the us and maybe mexico

[grim belfry]

How is bumfuck allowed but b*ttfuck isn't

[long briar]

do you live in a city or in the middle of nowhere?

[austere shale]

Is somebody trying to argue that housing prices avent gotten significantly worse?

[manic torrent]

and I even stated and fucking cited my sources

[long briar]

oh well

[supple pawn]

Where I live is irrelevant, statistics don't allow singling out one person, you said so yourself.

[manic torrent]

no, and nobody is doing that, but it makes it LIKELY that any house has increased

because that's literally the point

[supple pawn]

Yes, and all I was trying to say is that likely doesn't mean a guarantee

[long briar]

You don't live in a closed country I assume

[supple pawn]

Where I live remains irrelevant.

[long briar]

that's a lot of words to say something that's a given if you know anything about statistics...

I thought you were going towards something else

[austere shale]

If somebody is arguing that housing prices haven’t gone through the roof they are just wrong so so many reasons

[gilded quest]

Stop eating avocado toast and you might be able to own a shed one day

[long briar]

I even said earlier, outliers will happen but that doesn't mean the statement that housing affordability has gotten worse isn't true

[vapid smelt]

i have 40k in savings 😦

[grim belfry]

A deposit on a shed!

[gilded quest]

Congrats
That's more than the average American

[austere shale]

Are we counting 401k? 🥴

[vapid smelt]

my bank account

[austere shale]

Because if yes then same 😄

[harsh quartz]

Damn. You have a 10% deposit for an average house. Now double it and you can get a mortgage :)

[long briar]

I legit saw this post like "if you don't drink boba every 3 days to save money, you end up saving just over 500 bucks. Over 10 years that's 5000 dollars. That's not enough for a decent car or a house, so just go get your boba."

[manic torrent]

You might be able to live in a van down by the river!

[harsh quartz]

By the river? Na that shits a waterfront property

[grim belfry]

But, if you invested that 5000 dollars into the S&P 500 20 years ago, at an unrealistic rate of return, you would have a deposit!

Should've time travelled

[long briar]

And if you bought the boba, you'd be comforted and still alive

The utility of boba goes beyond its monetary value

[harsh quartz]

Dump that 5000 into nvidia 10 years ago and you can afford a house :)

[bitter harbor]

Why was 9 year old me so stupid!?

[austere shale]

Yea housing affordability has gotten out of control for so many reasons, interest rates, inflation of the dollar, wage stagnation, Blackrock buying tens of thousands of single family homes to add to their investment portfolio. Housing prices have gone up on average about 150% In the last 4 years in my area. I know because I wanna buy one so I’ve been looking

[grim belfry]

Blackrock doesn't buy individual houses lol

[harsh quartz]

Smh, 7 year old me a dumbass for not buying into the housing market crash

All the properties where my home is are being bought up and listed as Airbnbs. And they ain’t cheap.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/236-W-700-N-Salt-Lake-City-UT-84103/12709991_zpid/ fuck yeah i found a cheap home i can look forward in owning in few years

[bitter harbor]

I can also smell what the people who go there are up to.

[supple pawn]

Do they smell of a skunk, or something worse? Lol

[harsh quartz]

They just built a bunch of new neighborhoods where I’m at, I went to look at the home pricing. They’re all renting houses. Not a single one was for sale. All starting at 2k/month minimum

[bitter harbor]

Pot. A lot of the time. And they blast their speakers as loud as they can

[bitter harbor]

Seems about right

[austere shale]

Around here it would smell like burning plastic

[gilded quest]

At hotels you don't have to do chores

I've done an AirBnB once like 7 years ago and it was okay

[austere shale]

Airbnb is cool as a concept, and I’ve stayed in some nice ones for a really good price. But in practice it’s so bad

That’s really where a lot of the homes go

[gilded quest]

It was a lot cheaper than a hotel at the time but AirBnBs are often more expensive than hotels now

[harsh quartz]

Airbnb was cool before the housing market was beyond fucked

[vapid smelt]

buying homes to use as 24/7 airbnbs are fucked

[austere shale]

This lmao

[marsh oyster]

my aunt bought a house to do as a airbnb, she failed at having success at that

[austere shale]

I can’t even afford to get a house in the middle of nowhere town I grew up in, everybody moved out of the city because it’s turning into a shithole, then people from the bigger shithole known as Chicago came up here and bought the shit city houses and brought their crime with them

[gilded quest]

Oh I'm sure most people barely break even at best

[vapid smelt]

wonder how much bank Hawaii airbnbs make

[marsh oyster]

my dad is so damn lucky he bought land when he was 18 and had the house built within just a few years, ahhh the 70s and 80s where even if you worked at mcdonalds you could afford a house

[austere shale]

I think a lot more of them make bank than you realize. People would build houses in cool places to specifically do airbnb if they didn’t

[marsh oyster]

lol the airbnb'ers just trashed the place

[wide hinge]

Chonky

[vapid smelt]

ugly

[austere shale]

I’ve known certain Airbnbs that have been around for years

[marsh oyster]

lets just hope the future gets better

[vapid smelt]

the one you live in?

[austere shale]

I wish

Unrelated but there was a YouTuber who pissed off a corrupt politician in Australia, they got in a pissing match and said corrupt politician had one of his houses on Airbnb, and the YouTuber rented it then filmed a video talking shit, saying how he fucked on all of his furniture. 10/10 comedy

Then the politician “allegedly” had the YouTubers house firebombed

[covert cradle]

friendlyjordies. great channel

[austere shale]

Agreed

[austere shale]

I can only dream of pissing a politician off so much they “allegedly” have my house firebombed.

[grim belfry]

[austere shale]

Her, I edited my message after I saw I missed that

You should look into her, it’s amazing how openly evil a politician can be and how powerless the people under them really are

Honestly it’s impressive

One thing she did was make it so if she was voted out the mayor after her gets a 90% pay cut. But if she got voted in again she gave herself a 40% raise.

Another one is she hired her friend who did time for “cheese pizza” to be a town inspector and go into peoples homes, even though he had 0 experience/schooling/training to do so

You didn't read through the entire argument, it seems? Lol

I agree with you, that was my whole argument, that housing prices are determined locally, and the national average isn't necessarily representative of every locality.

That comment was meant as 'Where I live specifically is irrelevant to the national average'. Out of context my statement makes little sense, I agree. It was a comment specifically on the logistics of how studies are formed, not as a general statement.

[alpine gale]

Speaking of this, you remember the WordPress.org login checkbox? Mine was different for some reason.

[manic torrent]

isn't NECESSARILY, but is indicative.

[supple pawn]

That's a long password

[worn idol]

from what others where saying it seemed you where asking about it

[grim belfry]

Wait surely this isn't real

[supple pawn]

Indicative, yes, but a more accurate study can be done on the local level.

[alpine gale]

Who knows? It's apparently completely legal for Mr. M to put arbitrary things into place, so I 1-up'd them.

[bitter harbor]

Matt from Wii Sports is GOATED /j

[worn idol]

more accurate study☝️ 🤓

[alpine gale]

Anywho, no need to spread the drama - we ain't got time for Mr. M's antics. We have CES videos to watch!

[supple pawn]

It was a tongue in cheek way of calling out the irony of the person who I responded to saying 'that doesn't mean you pick and choose where you want your data to be from' and then asking 'do you live in a city or the middle of nowhere', specifically asking where I'm from.

[manic torrent]

he was simply saying that you can't make assumptions about things based on generalisations, because that's not what generalisations are for, you can only make statements after you have performed an exhaustive evaluation. Obviously. You can't be sure that house prices have gone up!

[ashen estuary]

[manic torrent]

Tastes like victory

I mixed it with the Colin furze jar of dirt

It's part of my series of art, "jars from the internet". One of them is a bit more risque and just involves a man.

[idle nymph]

hilarious

[winged spire]

MSI always have great looking GPUs

My favorite GPU ever aesthetically was their 4080 expert edition.

I really hope they make it again for 50x0

[vapid smelt]

Hey guys i have a question that i dont have get answer and have try to get answer, so any help will come me closer! 🙂

Today i have a Dell Poweredge R420 the problem is the DDR3 i want to upgrade the server a little bit more over the DDR4/DDR5 and then i need to buy a new motherboard, but how motherboard will work for this? I have try to search asked my tech friends but have not come closer to any answer, so then i joined here to try to get some answer 🙂 will it work to get the R420 over to DDR4 motherboard?

Yes, i ask for a motherboard that will have support for R420 and can handle DDR4/DDR5 🙂 Thank you for all answers

[pastel haven]

Most dells have a proprietary chassis

[sullen ravine]

Understand. So i will not come closer to this?

[grim belfry]

No

Bad idea

[sullen ravine]

Okay thanks for answer 🙂

Hello world.

[uneven stirrup]

Rip

5070 is scared

[obsidian oracle]

more like the man in the jacket is scared

5070 is a stronk boy, just with bad representation

[uneven stirrup]

I wish it was a 1 slot card

That would change the game

Finally be able to have mini atx backpack pc

[bitter harbor]

It scoring over 30fps in cities skylines 2 would already change the game.

[obsidian oracle]

its just 2cm difference...

u can fit a 5090 if any backpack as well, 6cm width

[uneven stirrup]

It would be the difference between 5090 and a 5070 1 slot card

[obsidian oracle]

sure but nothing catastrophic to prevent any use case

[uneven stirrup]

I want a sff 5070 for no reason

[bitter harbor]

We don’t want 1 slot cards. How else would Kevin Mcalister defend himself against Harry and Marv in New York?

[obsidian oracle]

who

[bitter harbor]

The movie Home Alone 2.

This scene: https://youtu.be/E3RQVcNUcTA

[obsidian oracle]

oooo

[uneven stirrup]

They probably will idk if I’ll be a 2 slot tho :(

[winged spire]

The 5090 fe is 2 slot

[obsidian oracle]

that msi gpu looks like a car

[bitter harbor]

It’s also probably the scene that inspired that gif

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[winged spire]

I wonder if it can hold a knife 🌚

[obsidian oracle]

it can try

likely successfully too if you made a special handle

[winged spire]

I liked the one with legs

He could get over smol ledges and stuff

[obsidian oracle]

sounds cool

[gilded quest]

What the fuck
