ive seen enough electric cars

[manic torrent]

0.956 seconds.

[hollow coral]

so i ask again, how will you keep it from spinning

and then how do you keep it straight aswell

[obsidian oracle]

the play is there to test the grip, you'd be losing launch speed if u play safe af

[winged spire]

Did you just completely ignore what I said lol

[obsidian oracle]

and what i said

[hollow coral]

no

anyway, cant make me like EVs

[fossil frost]

weight distribution, good tyres, good torque, clever traction control... plus other things

[hollow coral]

im the type of person who needs to feel the car and hear the car

autism type shit

[fossil frost]

you dont have to do, and tbh, you are the one trying to force an opinion

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585>

[winged spire]

I love EVs

[hollow coral]

crazy

bro is pinging mods over me saying i have autism

[obsidian oracle]

the traction control is already dead simple with evs, its a matter of turning the motor on and off, considering how low the inertia is it takes so much fewer to stop a tire from doing a burnout

[winged spire]

Very fun… when I was at starbase in an AWD model Y and its basically a giant beach buggy

Drifting around on the beach in something with instant torque is insanely fun

[hollow coral]

didnt know i wasnt allowed to say i have autism

[obsidian oracle]

be careful when going to thin sands

[fossil frost]

the active side of it is quite simple... the sensor side is less simple

[manic torrent]

ehhhh, not really

[obsidian oracle]

the ev swap is usally done with a tesla motor if u wanna go luxirious and they have it done already

[fossil frost]

you didnt say that... you made a joke where autism was the butt of the joke.. autism isnt a joke

[winged spire]

You can get a model S plaid motor for about 7 grand

[manic torrent]

traction control in 2025 is a solved problem

[obsidian oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1198727661783093318.webp?size=48&name=Necoarc_Stare

[obsidian oracle]

oh yeah, esp with evs

[winged spire]

Very good deal for the performance you get from an S plaid motor

[hollow coral]

yo sorry that i joke about my own disability!!!

[obsidian oracle]

the battery is the killer yeah

[hollow coral]

im sorry if you cant take a joke maybe the internet isnt for you

[obsidian oracle]

you need a big battery that can feed the motor all it wants without overheating to death

[fossil frost]

when somebody gets this up their own arse and overly defensive, like you are doing now... they are generally not the one that is in the right

[hollow coral]

next time ill make a joke about my depression, would that make you feel better

[winged spire]

Good thing is that that’s also rapidly going down… every totaled Tesla gives us more packs

[fossil frost]

but you keep digging your own hole, thats fine

[obsidian oracle]

yup yup

[hollow coral]

just telling you if you cant take a joke you shouldnt be here

[obsidian oracle]

a battery pack can be damaged but its small modules so u can save some modules from it

[fossil frost]

it wasnt a joke... jokes are funny

[winged spire]

I almost bought a couple packs out of a model Y

[hollow coral]

internet is full of jokes like that 🤯

[obsidian oracle]

doesnt mean u should repeat them in a sensitive discord like here

[fossil frost]

scrap yards WANT people to take those packs away from them too, because nobody wants their scrap yard to have a lithium fire

[hollow coral]

because you personally dont like dark humour doesnt make it a joke lol

[obsidian oracle]

why didnt u

[hollow coral]

i miss 2018 more and more cos i could actually make jokes and no one would care!

world becoming too soft

[winged spire]

It was a pallet of like 3 or 4 of these individual packs for just a few hundred bucks

[obsidian oracle]

its not about year, its about discord itself

[winged spire]

Shipping was the real killer

[bitter harbor]

There is dark humor and there is good dark humor. What you did was the former

[hollow coral]

keep with the reactions bro

[obsidian oracle]

oh so its from another state or country?

[hollow coral]

? no its about the world being soft

[trim blade]

I am trying to re install windows on my ssd using a usb from installation media and when I select a place to install windows on my ssd it doesn’t recognise it in the list at all. This is literally a ssd I was using yesterday completely fine with normal functioning os, now I just change motherboards.

[winged spire]

Was like 1500 miles away or something .. to ever try to ship a pallet especially a pallet full of hazardous materials? It gets $$$$

[obsidian oracle]

there are still many discord servers that arent, its not the world

[fossil frost]

tbh, you are the one going on about "being soft", but you are the only one who keeps crying about it... everyone else has moved on and you cant..

[obsidian oracle]

😔

[hollow coral]

says the one who keeps responding!

youre currently being baited and its working

keep taking it please

[fossil frost]

is it?

[hollow coral]

yes.

icl im laughing rn

[fossil frost]

ok..

[hollow coral]

its funny when people try to say someone with a disability cant joke about it

[bitter harbor]

Did anyone else see the video where Steve from Gamers Nexus did a deep dive on the 5090 cooling design? Because damm is it cool ||pun intended ||

[winged spire]

Good doggo

[obsidian oracle]

cute doggo too

[winged spire]

They all are!

[obsidian oracle]

nah i hate those little bastards called chiwauuwuwuwuauwa

atleast the angry ones

[winged spire]

Those aren’t dogs

They are overfed rats

[obsidian oracle]

lolololol

[fossil frost]

Friend of mine at school had 2. They were the most calm things in the world. Found out later on that it was because they were show dogs, and his mum had them on drugs to moderate their temperament for shows

[winged spire]

💀

[fossil frost]

My dogs are just clowns

[obsidian oracle]

short and tall

short one has scary face 💀

[fossil frost]

He's just run up a mountain with me 😁

[vital oak]

right in the middle of Grey

[obsidian oracle]

thats what too short legs does to a mf

tell him to get longer legs

[fossil frost]

Tbh, for a cocker spaniel, he's quite tall. It's just that the other one is very tall for a springer spaniel, makes him look short by comparison

[obsidian oracle]

fair

[glass mural]

How many calories is a 5090?

[fossil frost]

Both very intelligent dogs, really easy to train, listen to every word I sat. But man, they are idiots at the same time too

[obsidian oracle]

hmmm, around 25k

[glass mural]

What’s the most optimal way to consume a 5090?

[obsidian oracle]

one blowthrough cooling section at a time, and then the middle

[fossil frost]

Blender. Add milk

[glass mural]

Do I start with the GPU die first or do I eat the PCB then the VRAM and eat the GPU die last?

I also forgot about the VRMs

Those are very yummy

[obsidian oracle]

leave the core as a desert, start from power delivery parts and then vram

[winged spire]

Eggs

[glass mural]

Do I eat the I/O shield or discard it?

[obsidian oracle]

i dont think theres a strike

[winged spire]

It doesn’t actually do anything I think

[obsidian oracle]

just delete and thats it

yea just logging it and deleting it likely

[glass mural]

Oh ok so I’m not gonna get dropped by Linus

[winged spire]

He’s gonna come to your house and take your PC away

[winged spire]

I’m so tired of the LTT drama

Who the fuck cares 💀

Do people not have like.. real issues to talk about

[civic fox]

its not drama, i just found it on my page and was curious if anyone else saw it

[glass mural]

Linus isn’t brand friendly all the time

[obsidian oracle]

people who like drama and use twitter because of it

[winged spire]

Who cares

He’s a human I think and humans aren’t perfect

People who care about stuff like this are worse than gutter trash

[winged spire]

Can we talk about how shitty LinkedIn is

[obsidian oracle]

if u follow wrong people, yes, quickly becomes shit

[civic fox]

i watch all those when they get uploaded

LinkedIn is one of the worst internet platforms I’ve ever used

You’re very lucky lol

[glass mural]

I know there are issues with CPU cooler and case fan clearances but eh

[civic fox]

👍🏻

[glass mural]

I’ll keep those as extra so if one breaks I got a backup

$500 was the budget

[obsidian oracle]

possible

[glass mural]

I can’t wait to see a boomer’s reaction to a gen 4 NVMe

[obsidian oracle]

nooo not the intel 😭

they prefer that over 5 anyway

[glass mural]

Especially when they’ve only used hard drives

[obsidian oracle]

<@&750150305383186585>

and he gone

seems like not every joke is good to be used

[glass mural]

Bro thinks he’s cartman

[glass mural]

What’s wrong with Intel?

This isn’t a gaming machine

[obsidian oracle]

oh okay

why not stick with stock cpu cooler then

[glass mural]

Honestly

[obsidian oracle]

also why do u have 550w psu without a dgpu lol

[glass mural]

I could the sheer amount of case fans would work

[obsidian oracle]

lmfao no

[glass mural]

You got any recommendations for low wattage budget newish PSUs?

[obsidian oracle]

fans are like 5w per if ur lucky bro

[glass mural]

That aren’t bombs

[obsidian oracle]

nah im not into psus, u can check the tierlist website tho
https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[winged spire]

Did yall know the dude that played thanos in squid game season 2 was supposed to go to space lol

[glass mural]

I’ve looked everything is either old or it’s a bomb

[obsidian oracle]

man wth are u talking about

[obsidian oracle]

it is what it is, u dont even need 300w psu anyway brother

[glass mural]

10 case fans should be enough for a stock cooler to breath

[obsidian oracle]

ur cpu is 60w, lets say fans are another 20w on top, lets add 150w for rest and u get like 230w

[obsidian oracle]

almost enough to slap on a heatsink without fans 😂

[glass mural]

It’s gonna sound like a jet

[obsidian oracle]

a 90c jet that isnt loud, maybe

[glass mural]

I get to build it with a friend who also likes tech so this will be fun

Oh and this is 1 of 3

One of them is gonna be a NAS and the other is exactly like the first one

[winged spire]

The actor that played thanos in squid game season 2 was supposed to go to the moon

The “dear moon” project got postponed indefinitely lol

[obsidian oracle]

it wasnt a question, its just random af

and do yall even consider squid game as non-cringe thing?

cus i dont

[obsidian oracle]

but why is there no gpu and u get 500w psu

[glass mural]

Not a gaming machine

[obsidian oracle]

that didnt answer all of the questions

[glass mural]

The cx550 is cheap and “new”

[obsidian oracle]

so? lmao

its like going with a 4090 but not having it plugged in

it wont help you in any way besides looking cool

[glass mural]

Time to find the cheapest PSU

[obsidian oracle]

just get some used 300w psus that are ripped out of prebuilts or smth

its not like u will reach to its limit even if u try to

[sturdy moat]

aliexpress fr

[obsidian oracle]

shipping will make it cost same lol

[obsidian oracle]

why does bro still use pcpp

go to used market already

[glass mural]

Streamlines everything and I’m too lazy to find deals on used stuff

[vapid smelt]

chat should i spend $3136 on a 98" mini led tv for my bedroom

[pliant karma]

do you have the space if so then yes

[obsidian oracle]

no, just get a 27" 1440p monitor and put it next to ur face with a monitor arm

same size but cheaper and less stupid

can also use somewhere else when u need it

[lost crescent]

Less stupid is a downside

[obsidian oracle]

fair

[vapid smelt]

it will be like 8 inches away from my open door heheh

[pliant karma]

perfect

[obsidian oracle]

id say thats too big, over average

[glass mural]

Your money so you do what you want but if I was in your situation I’d just get some 4K OLED from LG that’s cheap

[vapid smelt]

if it wasnt for my dresser i could get a 115" tv it would be 2 inches away from the door

[lost crescent]

Cries in 2009 samsung 1080p tv with no smart functions

I like to watch netfix or literally anything else than tv channels tho

Thats all I get

[simple copper]

Fire cube, done

[obsidian oracle]

2 inches sound more like it

Anyone else has a love/hate relationship with 4k monitors? Like you've become used to it and now you cant go back to lower res but then also 4k makes everything run like dogshit so youre forced to buy more expensive gpus

[obsidian oracle]

im happy to not be there yet 😌

[glass mural]

I’m assuming that’s 4K

[vapid smelt]

yes

[obsidian oracle]

but im already forcing my self to buy better gpus

[glass mural]

Honestly for that price get a 4K LG OLED

It’s like $600 open box

[obsidian oracle]

or get 4k 32" oled

easy gaming and tv

[rough creek]

This is so me

[obsidian oracle]

whar

[rough creek]

I guess the weather improved since the Starship scrub

[cerulean talon]

i have a fun story regarding this

soooo my adopted dad was trying to get me into playing video games on pc (to be fair it is something i have showed interest in)

so my dad ordered a bunch of stuff

and ordered a high end gaming monitor that was 4k

[rough creek]

Blue Origin is not able to launch on schedule like SpaceX and I doubt they can provide video the same way. I think SpaceX uses Starlink satellites to relay the video so there's consistent coverage as their rockets do their thing

[cerulean talon]

and i thought it was a bit much for me, so we downsized to a 2k monitor with a higher refresh rate instead and saved like a lot more money

[rough creek]

would your dad adopt me?

[cerulean talon]

XD

you would have to put up with him showing you a bunch of anime

[rough creek]

oh that means we'd get along great

[obsidian oracle]

ooh blue origin the bezos's company

[cerulean talon]

like im not joking, his hobby is his plex server where he has been uploading his anime library

[rough creek]

nice

I watch anime like every day

[broken folio]

certainly worse things exist to be shown by a parental figure

[obsidian oracle]

[broken folio]

with my father it was always HAM radio equipment.

[rough creek]

like The 700 Club 😜

@cerulean talon did my pfp give it away that I'm an anime fan?

he might even recognize the character

[cerulean talon]

nooooooo not at all

[cerulean talon]

if i was to guess, and i might be wrong, so if im wrong plz don't kill me

is it kirito from SAO?

[rough creek]

Yup

[cerulean talon]

yay! ill take my weeb badge in pink please

[obsidian oracle]

oh talking about pfp, is it bad cropping that i see on top right of her head?

[cerulean talon]

i will say, my parents are both really cool. my mom actively is into MMOs like final fantasy 14

it was cut off at the edge of the pic (my pfp is rotated so the top right isn't only on the right side

[obsidian oracle]

[rough creek]

I may use a different pic if I feel like it. I'm too lazy to try to redraw the missing part

[obsidian oracle]

yipe

[rough creek]

your sister needs a bigger TV

I recommend 83"

[cerulean talon]

what size is that tv?

[obsidian oracle]

nah, she gotta get a smaller monitor and start gayming

[cerulean talon]

my primary tv is a samsung 50 inch curved tv and i love it

[obsidian oracle]

0 tabs using ram but 1.3gb ram usage 🔥

[rough creek]

I've been using a BenQ 32" 4K monitor for many years so I couldn't stand to downsize when it broke, so I have 3 32" 4K screens now

[cerulean talon]

best goodwill find ever, 4k tv for $50

[rough creek]

• 83" 4K OLED TV

anime looks great on the big screen 😉

[cerulean talon]

my dad was a holdout on upgrading to the 4k tv since he had one of those really nice 3d samsung tvs with the special glasses

[obsidian oracle]

bad ppi tho 😔

[rough creek]

it's not that bad

[obsidian oracle]

yeah ur right

[broken folio]

probably depends also on what the tv processing is like and how much it mucks about with the image.

[rough creek]

I have it in game mode so it runs at 120 Hz with little lag which turns off the muck

[cerulean talon]

i do wish my tv ran at 120hz since i have the one xbox

[broken folio]

I do similar with ours

i do wish my monitors were better than 60hz, but too many other things keep demanding money to spend on computers recently.

[rough creek]

I need to upgrade my graphics card soon

a friend invited me to play wow but my pc can't really handle anything, it can't even run all my monitors at their max Hz

[manic torrent]

sort of yeah. I had a 3070 and then I got a 4k monitor so I upgraded to a 3080ti

[rough creek]

I was looking forward to the 50 series but the prices are so high and the lower end ones won't come out yet

[manic torrent]

[broken folio]

My GPU is very long overdue upgrade, its still a gtx970...

[rough creek]

gtx1080 here

I expect I might end up getting a B580

[manic torrent]

B580 an excellent choice with a modern CPU

[rough creek]

I am not going anywhere near an Intel GPU

I'll buy AMD insteaad if I have to

[broken folio]

I have a 3600, so might have to upgrade that too, so dunno.

[vapid smelt]

you will

[cerulean talon]

did you guys see linus on the anthonypadilla show?

[manic torrent]

5600 is a no brainer cheap upgrade

[rough creek]

if even AMD still doesn't have as good support in games and GPGPU uses, Intel is way more behind and the way the company is struggling there is little guarantee software including games will feel much incentive to optimize for it or Intel will maintain drivers

[vapid smelt]

spider man is a better case of what the worst case could be

[rough creek]

too risky, might as well get a 5060 yes

[manic torrent]

It was never near that price in the UK sadly.

[manic torrent]

doesn't make sense vs 5700X for 4k

[rough creek]

I have r7 5800X

[vapid smelt]

yikes lowest was $220 usd

[broken folio]

we pay a bit of a premium for things sadly

plus, most of the time the $ price is simply replaced with the same amount in £ with no conversion.

[rough creek]

with the CPU I have if I'm going to upgrade it I'd go all the way up to the best one or close to it

the ppi is so low, when i owned one i could see each pixel

[patent quiver]

True, much less. Oddessey g5 is 280 atm and 180hz

[patent quiver]

Ah true, I don’t notice in games, just a bit annoying when coding, that’s why I’m looking to upgrade

I’ll be running games at 1080p when I get a 4k monitor

[winged spire]

I think new glen might actually launch

That’s crazy

T-1:38:00

[patent quiver]

I mean it’s usually a good thing when all pixels are visible, why would you buy them to not use them

[fleet edge]

I remembered the time I got my Lenovo 27'' monitor for like $180 at my local Officeworks. It usually comes at a cost of $210 (something like that). A few months later, it became unavailable to buy.

[viral light]

i need a new lightning cable replacement is there any company that i should really consider

[fleet edge]

It was about like two or three years ago.

Like, my monitor was on sale.

And it worked well with my Xbox.

It was better than my Changhong TV that litteraly was poor in image quality.

[fleet edge]

I am not sure. Maybe try dBrand or Ugreen.

[vapid smelt]

apple

[viral light]

[fleet edge]

No, I think maybe Ugreen or dBrand may have one.

[vapid smelt]

dbrand doesnt have cables

i was able to get a warranty claim for bro. I send in the deposit on friday :3

It took him 10 days, if not, more.

Amd is way better spec wise.

i gave it 1.35v all core and set the clock speeds to 5.6 P and 4.3 E 🤤 (probably why bro is dying)

intel is a much better space heater

Probably enough to toast some bread.

my 13600kf pulls 280w on occt

[alpine gale]

I would get this for the same price instead, if you're okay with 3ft cables. The rubberized boot around the ends of their PowerLine cables holds up better to bending over time.

2025 prediction, LMG is preparing for a purchase or acquisition of its company by some bigger company.

[vapid smelt]

he already declined one

[cerulean hull]

why else would linus go on a big TV show and the several inteviews

something big is going to happen, there is no other reason why he would be doing all these interviews and tv appearances hes never done before.

[vapid smelt]

other youtubers have done it

[rich mortar]

Has there been more than one tv interview?

[cerulean hull]

done what? sold? or done interviews?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugkQ9z-3huI

been on tv

[cerulean hull]

mark rober is not "just a youtuber" he worked for NASA. hes bigger then youtube. linus is a youtuber.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr8ia3DYB2E

[cerulean hull]

just the one TV one so far but ive seen 2 interviews on huge youtuber channels just in the last week.

[cerulean hull]

another person who is bigger then LTT. linus is not at ninja level poopularity.

[craggy geyser]

It's cool Linus was on Fallon but that guy and show is unbearable

[cerulean hull]

its just smells of a sell of the company or big push like going public.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUnZQixi-c also he already got a offer and didnt sell

[cerulean hull]

if the offer is big enough he would probably say yes. money rules the world.

[rich mortar]

I strongly doubt it

[cerulean hull]

why would he do a media tour across the usa if nothing big is going to happen?

[vapid smelt]

it was big enough he and his kids and kids kids wouldnt need to work

[vapid smelt]

bring in more viewers

[rich mortar]

Which more interviews did he do? I only saw the Colin and Samir show interview

[rich mortar]

Not sure how much of a problem it is nowdays, but Eve used to have these huge gambling sites using the APIs where people would pay for gamling credits using plex and also sell plex

You also used to be able to buy Plex in physical gametime cards. You'd buy plex for cash, then sell it via the gambling sites mixed with 'normal plex' they had bought from users

Same thing goes for pretty much any game where you have
a. a game item that can be used to activate gametime
b. physical versions of the same that can be bought in stores for cash

[vapid smelt]

how would one set up this operation and how well does it pay?

[rich mortar]

A plex used to be about 15usd, not sure where is is now.. But moving a couple of hundred plex per day or so would be a steady an nondescript stream of laundering a steady steam of money

[rich mortar]

1. Get illicit money.
2. spend that money to buy Plex codes in stores
3. Sell that plex on marketplace for a few cents under retail price
   Voila. White, legal cash.

[vapid smelt]

[rich mortar]

Tibia has a similar problem as well

On Tibia, they have Tibia Coins that can be bought for rl money, then traded ingame. You've got huge amounts of them being sold on facebook groups a couple of cents cheaper than you buy them on the Tibia website

[gilded quest]

Are we talking about the same Plex

its made for kids with ADHD

And it's not that the game was popular, it's that it was everywhere. Honestly in 2017/2018 it felt like you couldn't escape fortnite

[opaque thorn]

damn bot

[gilded quest]

Now my opinion on it is "meh"

[opaque thorn]

i mean

to be fair, its mostly collabs now, but i dont really mind, im rocking johnny silverhand and loving it

[gilded quest]

I don't care for it but it's not worth the effort to hate on it

[opaque thorn]

though some of the collabs are just... why

[gilded quest]

The game has really matured and the all out fanaticism for it is mostly gone

[opaque thorn]

i mean, i dont even mind the fact there are players who havent seen the outside world since 2020 with how just tryhardy they are, but i guess its part of the fun

then again its 12:40 local time for me and i could just be tired and lacking awareness/skill

no?

i live in a small town now with barely any crime and every house here has it

[fossil frost]

literally just dropped a pin in the middle of victoria to see what random house was there ... no bars

[manic torrent]

This is going to shock you, I'm in a house right now, and there are no bars on any windows

[hollow coral]

maybe just a queensland thing

[grim belfry]

So why has every one of the 5+ houses i’ve lived in not had it?

[manic torrent]

It is, because Queensland is a hell hole

[hollow coral]

temperature wise yea

[grim belfry]

No, just in general

[hollow coral]

but queensland is actually a beautiful state 💀

[hollow coral]

no tf it isn’t?

[manic torrent]

Beautiful yes. Hellhole, also yes.

[hollow coral]

i find it nicer than nsw

[grim belfry]

And what do you have to compare it with? :p

[hollow coral]

nsw.

[manic torrent]

I lived in Queensland dude, I know what it is.

[hollow coral]

oh and nz too

i can compare it to nsw and nz

[fossil frost]

random house in queensland, no bars

[hollow coral]

then tell me why every house i’ve been in has had them?

even in gated communities

[idle nymph]

next game, drop somewhere in asia and see if there isnt any scooter, if there is no scooter, you win 👍

[manic torrent]

Because your dad is a CIA agent

[hollow coral]

💀

[fossil frost]

two more random houses in queensland... you get the point now

[hollow coral]

i could go outside and show you multiple houses with it

also fuck mackay, absolute shithole of a city

[fossil frost]

i can show you many examples without them... from the other side of the planet

[fossil frost]

they dont need bars on their windows though, do they

[idle nymph]

you win, how many try did it take ?

[grim belfry]

First try...

[fossil frost]

is cains any better? because they dont have bars either?

[hollow coral]

random house in qld

[grim belfry]

80th try?

[manic torrent]

That is hilarious

Oh wait I get it

[hollow coral]

another random house in qld

[fossil frost]

playing this game has made me realise.. man... australia is empty as fuck

[hollow coral]

one in kingaroy, other in mount isa

[manic torrent]

It's so you can open the windows and leave

[manic torrent]

Uhhh yeah dude

[hollow coral]

yes.

[fossil frost]

even the built up areas have fuck all there 😄

[hollow coral]

that is literally one of the purposes for the “bars”

[grim belfry]

That's what crimsafe is for

[hollow coral]

that is quite literally was this is?

[manic torrent]

That's the only reason

[grim belfry]

No.

[manic torrent]

If it's not crimsafe, it's not crimsafe

[hollow coral]

it’s the exact same concept

[grim belfry]

Not bars

[hollow coral]

they also have the exact same design as what is standard in a lot of homes

[grim belfry]

No it's metal mesh

You can literally stand on it

[fossil frost]

but not bars? and not on "every home in australia" ?

[hollow coral]

so why has every home i’ve randomly dropped to had them?

in 3 different cities across the state

[fossil frost]

so the 3 you have specifically looked for, to prove your point, mean that "every home in australia" has them, even though i have shown many that dont?

in multiple states, in multiple cities

[hollow coral]

no?

i literally dropped there and saw it

every time

[fossil frost]

you said "every home in australia has them"... they dont

[hollow coral]

i can screen record if you want me to

[hollow coral]

because i’d never seen a house without it unless the windows open outwards

[fossil frost]

then thats not "every home in australia" is it?

thats "the homes i have chosen to look at in australia"

[hollow coral]

or the homes i have driven past?

and i’ve driven past many houses

[fossil frost]

so not every home in australia? got it... done

[hollow coral]

yo mb that some people don’t have screens on their windows

yk something you can remove

and ofc if i’ve only ever seen houses that have the bars that i’m going to assume it’s a standard thing here

as any normal human being would

[manic torrent]

Do you not travel?

[urban haven]

I think I just did the worst thing I could
I have super sweaty hands when gaming so I bought one skateboard deck grip tape and carefully taped it onto every surface of my mouse

I'll definetly make a v2 that looks nicer and more polished out but so far the concept stands and works

[fossil frost]

looks like nvidia released a chart that shows the actual generational uplift in performance between 40 and 50 series... its about 15-20%, for 15-20% more power requirement

[fierce thistle]

I should get a computer science degree and make affordable GPUs with more than 8 gigs of vram and modular vram kinda like how we have ram sticks currently

[fierce thistle]

IM 100% SERIOUS

[potent cedar]

i was visiting family in foster and found a kangaroo in the garage

they're fucking huge

[gleaming silo]

Give him your last Rolo!

[neon mesa]

yea man, you should also get a medical degree and cure cancer
maybe become farmer and solve world hunger

[fierce thistle]

On it

[potent cedar]

not really feasible with anything faster than stx halo (at the moment)

which is a shame because a faster strix halo would be insane for ai and productivity

the amount of llm you could fit in 100gb of vram...

[fierce thistle]

Real talk though I'm only in high school rn, getting a degree is gonna take time, so making a better GPU might be feasible in the future.

[potent cedar]

i know plenty of people that don't

[potent cedar]

possibly
soldered vram used to be a thing but over time memory has tended to need shorter and shorter traces to increase bandwidth while maintaining signal integrity

i would be very unsurprised to see on-package hbm make a comeback in the high end consumer / workstation space

especially if amd ever got their shit together and ran the halo tier for a bit

[fossil frost]

there is an entire country of over a billion people, with a practically infinite budget, trying to do that... and have managed to catch up to about 25 years ago... so far...

[fierce thistle]

"Infinite budget" 😂

[gleaming silo]

You won't compete with capitalism

[fierce thistle]

Nothing has a infinite budget. Money runs out eventually.

[fossil frost]

china has a **practically **infinite budget for its home grown cpu and gpu projects

china has done more for RISC-V in the last 2 years, than everyone else combined has done, in the last 10

[teal hornet]

Hey guys, a question, dont have much time to dig in into the research now, but:
if we can assume Ultrawide 1440p (3440x1440p) is the same basically as 4k
is 5080 good pick for VR (flights sims like DCS and kinda War Thunder), if so pairing with 9800x3d or 7800x3d is more sensible?
Currently running 3070 which kinda lacks in VR sphere power wise. and 5800x3d

[fossil frost]

your existing system would be fine, the new system is also fine for what you want, if not slightly over powered for now, but will see you further into the future than your current system

[idle nymph]

didja punch that one

[potent cedar]

definitely not, it would have been well over a metre and a half tall

[idle nymph]

jesus christ

[idle nymph]

i found a worthy opponent for my sis then

[manic torrent]

no, 3440x1440 is significantly less than 4k

[wispy marsh]

Yo bob heard of lossless scaling?

[manic torrent]

yes

[wispy marsh]

It's 🔥

[full fossil]

how comes people are so calm when fixing computers

I'm on the verge of tears trynna fix ts

[fossil frost]

because getting angry or upset just clouds your judgement, making it harder

[opal thunder]

Fr latest update was so crazy.

The beta is nice too.

I like the UI redesign.

[trim blade]

Is 850 watts enough for 4070ti super i9 14900k 64 gigs ddr5 ram

[neon mesa]

What's lossless scaling

[viscid elm]

Why did you choose the 14900k?

Also yes its fine

[fossil frost]

on a 14900k, you will run out of ability to cool it down, before you run out of power 🙂

[viscid elm]

Had 40x 21700s left over and lately we've been getting quite a few power cuts here. So I'm going to make this into a little backup power unit with AC sockets, USB ports etc

be careful

[gleaming silo]

One of my favourite side projects was making a house wide battery back up

[modern pier]

switch 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpcsQQvgAQ&t=75s

[fossil frost]

i look forward to it being less powerful than other handhelds, and for nintendo to go after more emulators too... i wonder why they recently sued the emulators out of existence 🙂

it will sell well though, always does

[full fossil]

Yeah this isn't gonna be too fancy, just something I can get out, flip the downstairs breakers off and plug this into a socket to keep the lights, TV and fridge freezers going for a couple of hours

[gleaming silo]

I plan on adding a small solar panel in the better weather this year.

Even if it solely runs my pc and fridge , I'll be happy

[fossil frost]

given how its ALWAYS windy where i live now, even on the calmest of days, its still windy... im considering one of those smaller household wind turbines. cheaper and easier to install than solar too

[gleaming silo]

Gotcha

Good luck! Be careful with high voltage.
