hey, i have a completely random question. U know Ookla/Speedtest's ratings thing they put out? Well, it says in my area the fastest ISP is "bell canada", that's demonstrably untrue in every way imaginable so...why?

rigid tartan
#

Either A) paid off or B) the people who've tested on their site have had the best results there

gaunt cave
#

the fastest in my area is one that only serves my area and a few others, so Bell will have WAY more ppl doing speedtests than Beanfield (the actual best ISP in canada) i guess but that still doesn't explain it, they're both FTTH so the advertized speed is what you get

# rigid tartan Either A) paid off or B) the people who've tested on their site have had the bes...

maybe they need a minimum number? like beanfield, FibreStream and the like (independent operators that eschew the "big 3" and lay their own network) have very small ppl they server cuz they lay their own ...but that'd be simlra to GFiber in USA, independent operator that lays their own network

Neither are even on here, 356Mbps is laughably slow compared to what should be the average for Beanfield based on what i've seen. Fiberstream, used to exclusively offer 5Gbps plans, thats all they had at one point

hi

mortal kraken
# gaunt cave hey, i have a completely random question. U know Ookla/Speedtest's ratings thing...

I'd only take whatever Ookla says just as a grain of salt and not even that, because for them, all they care is every time the test button is pressed, and then whatever magic number that comes on the screen goes for the results. That's not enough in the networking world. it isn't magic that shows that number however, so many other technical factors and planning go into it for that.
So even if Ookla says ISP XYZ is one of the worst in the country, perhaps you at your home have the best experience with them because they might have the best infrastructure deployed, it's a very case by case things and IMHO those stats are just good to understand it in an macro scale but is just inaccurate for anything else

Calculate the surface area of ​​that pyramid if its height has length H= 4 roots from 3. we didn't learn sine, cosine and that part of geometry, but only the Pythagorean theorem, and if you could solve this problem for me in that way, neither me nor my dad really know how to solve it

it was knocked off that top spot by RDR2, and a few other game since. and GTA6 is gonna retake that title again when its done

rare otter

but the fact they were able to pull it off and make it an actual good version is insane

fossil frost
#

wanting to make a ton of money, makes companies do things that seem positive 😄

rare otter

and its usually around 30 fps. which isnt great but the fps is stable so its fine

autumn parrot
rare otter
#

i got a hottake

#

30 fps isnt too bad if that fps is a constant locked 30

#

throughout the entire game

#

it only seems laggy once it stutters

fossil frost
#

consistant 30 fps is better than inconsistent 120fps.. jitter is the worst

rare otter

exactly

autumn parrot
#

don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but there might be a reason why a PS5 controller has a shorter lifespan than my PS3 controller

how would i do that

queen sorrel
fossil frost
# rare otter i heard somewhere you can simulate raytracing on your cpu i have a ryzen 5 3600 ...

ray tracing is always simulated, doesnt matter if its on the gpu or cpu... the difference is if its hardware accelerated... you can run anything ray traced that uses platform agnostic api's (ie. vulkan or directx's own ray tracing api's).. on any platform, and they will run, just less well than they would on a hardware accelerated ray tracing platform... whether the ability to do tht or not is unlocked though, is entirely down to the game developer

yes over time the DS3 can start spazzing out, but that can be easily fixed with a piece of tape and a screwdriver, under no circumstances should the potentiometer be worn out on a new controller after a couple of months

Does anyone know what a 701 k chip does

fossil frost
#

its some optocouplers

uneven stirrup
#

meaning…

fossil frost
#

digital relays

uneven stirrup
#

so what do it do

fossil frost
#

relays things

uneven stirrup
#

Like what stuff

fossil frost
#

could be anything, its a generic switch near a massive chip that manages have of what the motherboard does... so it could be as small as a usb port not working, or it could be, the motherboard doesnt switch on

uneven stirrup
#

cool…

#

well I did get this board for free

#

None of the pins are bent tho

#

So it looks like it’s just this small little thing

fossil frost
#

i cant tell from the photo... but do any of the legs look like they are touching anything other than their pads?

uneven stirrup
#

Legs?

#

I didn’t go to electrical engineering school you know

fossil frost
#

the pins coming from the chip its self.. are they touching each other. or are they just touching the motherboard where its supposed to be doing, just looking mangled

uneven stirrup
#

The pins are touching the motherboard

#

It got pushed to the right mangling the chip

fossil frost
#

are any of the pins touching the other pins

uneven stirrup
#

Yes

fossil frost
#

then theres the potential for it having a dead short, so i wouldnt plug it in, because magic smoke could be let out

uneven stirrup
#

cool

#

There’s so hot spots on the board… board looks new

#

Socket looks unused

fossil frost
#

this is a motherboard you already got a refund for yes?

uneven stirrup
#

Yes

#

It looks to be a used board that’s broken

fossil frost
#

it probably is, or a reclaimed/resoldered board

rare oyster
#

Why did the computer catch a cold?
Because it left its Windows open

uneven stirrup
#

well it’s not been resoldered cause this chip is still broken

fossil frost
#

that top middle pin looks like its ripped the pad off the board, top right looks like the pad is in the middle of being ripped off the board. bottom middle and bottom right looks like the pads are ripped off too, so.. honestly, best thing would be to desolder the chip all together, and just leave it off, at least that way, it cant damage anything

#

and then... just use the board and see which bit doesnt work

uneven stirrup
#

I see

fossil frost
#

as long as the chip is fully removed, there shouldnt be any dead shorts from it

uneven stirrup
#

I looked it up… it could just be this chip is responsible for something to do with the sound

#

Or bios

#

As that’s the bios chip near it

fossil frost
#

so worst thing, should be that something, somewhere doesbt work (and since its a optocoupler, probably something inconsequential)

#

and yes, optocouplers are used a lot on audio jack outputs

#

bios will usually use transistors or mosfets as switches, rather than a coupler

#

audio uses couplers, since it needs to be electrically isolated from the rest of the board

uneven stirrup
uneven stirrup
fossil frost
#

there will be 1 of those couplers per jack

uneven stirrup
#

Oh my god this board has 8 3.5mm jacks

fossil frost
#

if it is audio, likely 1 or 2 of those jacks wont work, but the rest should

#

but make sure the chip is removed from the board, because right now, its gonna cause a short with how it is, which will cause something to go bang

uneven stirrup
#

How do I know something didn’t already go bang

fossil frost
#

have you been using the board?

uneven stirrup
#

No

fossil frost
#

then you cant know, without looking for obvious burn marks

uneven stirrup
#

How obvious is it?

fossil frost
#

sometimes quite obvious, sometimes not obvious

#

only real way to know is to just plug it in

uneven stirrup
#

What in the board would short first

#

Like the caps?

fossil frost
#

tbh, that chip will likely kill its self first, or whatever is delivering its voltage to it, which, if that is your main 3.3v line, you lose all 3.3v on that board

uneven stirrup
#

What does Burt look like

fossil frost
#

you know how the chips are all black? they look blacker... 😄 (and pitted, and sooty)

uneven stirrup
#

how black :p

#

cause all these chips are black

#

Cause the board is black

fossil frost
#

blacker than the rest of the chip, they usually burn from a very specific spot

uneven stirrup
#

They all look yellow to me :p

#

Wait ones black

fossil frost
#

personally i would remove that chip, and just test it, worst thing that can happen is i kill an already dead board

#

but thats me

uneven stirrup

Are these supposed to be black?

It’s not

Cause if you have no driver, it takes 5 minutes to manually get one. If it gives you the wrong driver, you have to ddu, restart, hope it doesn’t try to download it again, and then manually install the right one, and that’s if you even catch it’s the wrong one to begin with

OK, I’m putting out the bat signal. I really would love to be able to play some video games with Ray tracing. GeForce Now is currently sold out. I’m waiting to hear from them when they become available. My bat signal is for some kind of cloud gaming service like GeForce now that is around $30 a month. I just really wanted ray tracing this week and it was suggested I utilize cloud gpu instead of trying to buy right now.

Tldr GPU prices are not good right now and it’s really uncertain when they’re ever going to be good in the next maybe even year so I need help finding a cloud gaming service like GeForce now

yeah, there is no real 4K Card yet in my Opinion, 4K is still too demanding depending on the Situation.. I mean Half Life 2 will probably still run well at 16K, but if you Cyberpunk at 4K on it it will already cry

if you have a laptop problem, you shouldnt have bought a laptop

its a laptop

amber ibex
#

I like Laptops

rustic tundra
#

they are ass

amber ibex
#

I have

#

7 Laptops

rustic tundra
#

they are only good if they are office ones with very low power hardware

#

gaming laptops? get out

amber ibex
#

nah, unfortunately not

rustic tundra
#

bless

amber ibex
#

I got them all for free as well

#

except for the T590

rustic tundra
#

i would prefer buying a mini pc over a laptop

#

which i have done

amber ibex
rustic tundra
#

i already have those

#

except battery because there is something called a wall socket

hybrid musk
#

yo guys would anyone be able to help me make my pc a bit faster or any tips on stuff i can do to help

amber ibex
#

well I use Laptops as Laptops... Cause i only use them when travelling, at home there sitting 90% of the time collecting dust

amber ibex
rustic tundra
#

you dont do that these days except when youre crazy

amber ibex
rustic tundra
#

only way to increase performance is by buying better hardware or lowering graphics in games

#

or not bloating your os

rustic tundra
hybrid musk
#

lets just say ive played the same game same setting sfor years why wouldd it slow down

amber ibex
hybrid musk
#

ahhhh

rustic tundra
#

duh

amber ibex
#

literally everything that is heavier for the CPU

#

or GPU

hybrid musk
#

okay but its the same intensity of graphpics which wouldnt seem like a huge diff

rustic tundra
#

bloated os?

rustic tundra
#

ok what game are we talking in particular

amber ibex
#

if the game updates and theres something more demanding in the game then it'll perform worse

rustic tundra
#

i know a few old that still get updates and more intensive over time

#

main example being minecraft

#

they add stuff and stuff and that makes the game more intensive

bright river
#

So like can yall hear me out on my problem

amber ibex
bright river
#

So I reset my laptop

#

And did the shift ctrl win b command to reset graphics driver

#

And after a bit my screen went green again

#

Am I cooked

#

The laptop works after reset for a bit but it just goes back to being green again

amber ibex
#

hm, guys what was the green screen of death again?

bright river
#

Wdym green screen of death😭

rustic tundra
#

gpu issue

bright river
#

It has no words or nothing just dark green

rustic tundra
#

you know searching doesnt hurt

bright river
#

I have but get results I already tried

rustic tundra
#

it says its caused by gpu itself, drivers or connection

bright river
#

So what can I do

amber ibex
#

xD

rustic tundra
#

replacing it

#

updating drivers

bright river
#

I’ll try and get back to yall

rich musk
rustic tundra
#

people having issues ive never encountered

bright river
#

Laptop works for like a minute or two n blank

#

Ima see if I could update drivers

#

So my laptop blue screened

#

When it resets after blue screen, it usually fixes the problem

rustic tundra
#

when i searched the issue it was on laptop so it must be the problem with those

#

thats quite concerning if you ask me

bright river
#

It blue screened, and went from 0% to 100% instantly

#

I have no idea if that’s a good sign or bad

rustic tundra
#

that means you should not buy laptops

#

that one is essentially e waste if you ask me

bright river
#

And it blue screened again

rustic tundra
#

cant even sell that for half the price

bright river
#

It’s going through automatic repair now

rustic tundra
#

try entering safe mode

bright river
#

Hold on i think the laptop fixing itself

#

Okay my laptop is back on

#

I hope it doesn’t go blank again

#

Everything looks fine

rustic tundra
#

many reasons why i dislike laptops

bright river
#

I should have just waited to get a pc

#

But I think the laptop is fine now

#

It always has a problem goes blue screen and fixes itself

rustic tundra
#

i havent had a blue screen in ages

bright river
#

It fixed itself😭😭😭

Monster Hunter Wilds is coming out on Friday...and this guy wanted to get it, but has some rather dated laptop with a mobile RTX 3050. He could barely get 20 frames out of it. I told them flat out that it won't run it well. They got mad at me.

because of the current price difference between the r7 7800x3d/9800x3d, would it be worth choosing the 9800x3d over the 7800x3d still?

#

the current price difference is ~$200-$250, the old difference was $50, which is why i chose the 9800x3d

i did actually look at some benchmarks with the 4070 ti super + ryzen 7 9800x3d/7800x3d, very similar in performance for some games, only a few that i saw the 9800 had the upperhand in

but why not get another opinion outside of benchmarks

I feel like we hit a point somewhere where the "demand" for graphics cards outstripped the demands of graphics cards. Like, 4070 / 5070 are both significantly better than my 3070 but when the GOTY is Balatro who cares?

uneven stirrup
#

They are still on 4nm

They still have many nm to go down to

5090 could of been on 3nm and that would of been a lot more efficient and faster

Instead we got an intel 14th generation situation more power more performance

fossil frost
# uneven stirrup 5090 could of been on 3nm and that would of been a lot more efficient and faster

the design for the 50 series gpus started before 3nm was even possible, and you design for the node, and switching node isnt as easy as "make it smaller", same for any gpu or CPU, switching node usually requires at least a basic redesign of the die layout, but more than likely an almost complete redesign of the die (even if the architecture is the same, the die layout would still have to be remade and retested again through the whole process)

# queen sorrel Is the design not the same just scaled smaller tho?

no, not always.. we are at a scale where quantum tunnelling is a problem, so the smaller we get, the more space we need to leave between "traces" within a die. the more insulation is needed, routing will be different because of that, the whole layout of heat generating parts will need to be moved round to balance heat output

queen sorrel
#

Assuming its more efficient when smaller, would it not be a fit to have it smaller while on the same node?

#

I mean its not like parts are getting smaller anyways lol

rigid tartan
#

The "smaller" we're talking here is a node shrink.

queen sorrel
#

Oh, im just a dumbass who doesnt know what they're talking about tbf

#

I just give my uneducated opinion

#

And wanna learn

fossil frost
#

3nm or 4nm or whatever node is chosen, is the minimum resolution of any given part of the die... you cant "make it smaller" on the same node size... without removing features... going from 4nm to 3nm requires a redesign because of everything i said before, plus, a lot the parts of the core are time sensitive... ie. "this signal must take LONGER than N miliseconds", but shrinking the node, means that the trace it travels down, is now shorter, so gets there quicker, fucking up the timing required to get things right, so that trace will needto be longer to make the signal take longer

queen sorrel
#

So the node goes on the die which the node has all the tech stuff on it basically, and making it smaller is causing the problems now i understand

fossil frost
#

the node is how the die is made

primal cairn
#

Huh I don't have the HD audio cable, also I don't have these

queen sorrel
#

Oh so a die is an x amount of nodes

fossil frost
#

a "node" is short for "all the tooling required to make a die at a specific minimum resolution"... so a 3nm node, is all the tools from that dutch company

primal cairn
fossil frost
#

no, a node isnt a thing, its an easy description of a process used to make a die

queen sorrel
#

Ok

fossil frost
#

a node is a set of tools and instructions, a way of doing something. the individual parts of the die are created with those tools, by following that process

queen sorrel
#

Could additional coolers not solve that heating problem tho?

fossil frost
primal cairn
#

Thanks

fossil frost
queen sorrel

fossil frost
#

what?

queen sorrel
#

Technology has advanced to fast that this issue is not that major

fossil frost
#

what issue?

queen sorrel
#

The requirement for the entire redesign of a die

#

They already figured it out anyways

fossil frost
#

who said it was an issue? who said they were worried?

queen sorrel
#

You guys were having a whole discussion about it earlier before i got here no?

you think nvidia hasnt already redesigned the die, hasnt already got the 60 series in QA, and the 70 series being designed? these things takes 2-3 years to push from paper to the shelves... what we are buying now is what nvidia started work on 2 years ago

floppy discs are just... floppy... disc platters.. where has hard drives... are... disc platters that are hard...

turbid oriole
#

I wish someone floppied my disk 😤

rigid tartan
#

Prefer my disk hard

queen sorrel
#

So basically a hard drive and a floppy disk are the same thing just one is floppy and other is hard

fossil frost
# queen sorrel So basically a hard drive and a floppy disk are the same thing just one is flopp...

they are the same basic technology yes... just that the floppy disc is made from a type a type of plastic coated with iron oxide, and has a single read/write head... a hard disc has a metal disc, and usually has 4, 6, or 8 of them (or more)... with multiple read/write heads.. and because of the metalic discs, and the much more advanced versions of the read/write heads allowing for much denser data storage, you can squeeze loads more data per mm of disc on a hdd, than on a fdd

#

fun fact.. a music tape, is also more or less the same technology as floppy discs and hard drives

#

the music tape is linear only, no random read/write

queen sorrel
#

So a cassette, a floppy and a hard drive, are the same technology

fossil frost
#

same basic technology yes, HDDs have advanced to much more refined versions of that technology, but the basic technology is the same
