[winged spire]

The city limits are literally from the test facility past the factory to the launch pad

[sinful jetty]

Not all of them

[winged spire]

It got 6 votes against the city

[winged spire]

Have you actually seen the location?

Its marshy and half covered in water

[sinful jetty]

Oh

[winged spire]

The nearest public business/shop from starbase city is nearly 30 miles away

[sinful jetty]

Oh thanks I didn't notice the water before you pointed them out

[winged spire]

The yellow is the factory, the orange is the pad and the red are a hand full of airbnbs and private land they sell tickets to see launches from

that is the most insane business model ever lol

They literally just bought a field near the pad and they charge 200$ per person to watch the launches lol

[hybrid echo]

ew

[sinful jetty]

So is the entire Boca Chica area just gone now?

[hybrid echo]

sight ig is a luxry now

[winged spire]

Yeah it’s crazy

There’s quite a few spots you can see it from for cheaper

[sinful jetty]

$200 to get your ears blown out

[hybrid echo]

just make one person go and sneak a 4k camera in is chest or smthn, ez

[winged spire]

There’s a park in south padre island that’s like 10$ to park your car for the day and watch it

You just gotta get there early af

[winged spire]

Not that close sadly

[sinful jetty]

:(

[winged spire]

Nah

It’s still Boca chica

The whole area there is Boca chica, Boca chica beach etc

[sinful jetty]

oh ad astra is also there

i had no idea it was that close to spacex's stuff

[winged spire]

This is the view from that spot in south padre island

[sinful jetty]

also this entire coastline stretching however many kilometers has some insane terrain

[winged spire]

It’s about 4 miles from the pad

45 miles from the pad by car which is super annoying

[winged spire]

Most of the gulf coast looks like this

Louisiana is disappearing lol

[winged spire]

SpaceX bought a hovercraft because of this

It’s geographically 4 miles from the pad but by road it’s like 40ish miles

Daily commute is by hovercraft 😭

[sinful jetty]

[supple pawn]

Ugh my back hurts. I blame Nissan

[hybrid echo]

How old

[viscid mason]

guys

im building a laptop what a random feature you think a laptop should have

like seriously i dont know what to add at this point, so im just asking people for ideas XD

[winged spire]

several fast USB C ports

[viscid mason]

actually a good idea

noted

[winged spire]

I got 2 on my laptop, one has PD its super nice

[viscid mason]

W

[winged spire]

I think it also has display port over USB C

never used that before though

[viscid mason]

yeah this one only has one

and im using it to drive the display

XD, so i need more

thx for the idea

anything else?

[gilded quest]

Nail file

[viscid mason]

LMAO

real

[gilded quest]

Slide out adjustable cooling fan for the user

[viscid mason]

oh dang

wait thats actually an awesome idea, heck yeah

[gilded quest]

It could be on a tray that is also used to play circular media
Maybe a disc? It would be compact

No that would never catch on

[viscid mason]

let bro cook

[sinful jetty]

wireless charging

[viscid mason]

maybe a little storage tray tho

yeah i cant add that💀

at least without some CURSED wiring

i mean, it is possible, and i already know exactly how i would do that

but i dont think it would be good XD

good as in i dont think i could do it well

thats a fire idea tho

[carmine helm]

that laptop gonna be thick

[viscid mason]

heh

heck yeah

gimme a sec and ill send a pic of it so far

[sinful jetty]

you plop your phone on your laptop to enjoy:

1. unreasonably hot charging
2. slow, almost useless charging speeds
3. place your phone on the exact square millimeter or it doesn't charge

[viscid mason]

ohhhhh

[sinful jetty]

cmon wireless charging is a must-have

[carmine helm]

Thats awesome!

[viscid mason]

i thought you mean charging the laptop

[sinful jetty]

nah

[viscid mason]

wait a sec, i think i could actually do that

[sinful jetty]

that would almost be useful

[viscid mason]

ive got ALL the parts to do that right now

not even kidding

[sinful jetty]

try not to melt any plastic, there's enough of that going on rn

[viscid mason]

lol, real

[viscid mason]

THX!

yeah i started building it a few days ago, very happy with it so far

[sinful jetty]

knock on wood

[viscid mason]

real

[sinful jetty]

the question is where are you going to shove that coil

[viscid mason]

on the back

right their

[carmine helm]

add little pop out feet like on some keyboards so the bottom fans arent suffocating

[viscid mason]

oh hold up

thats a good idea

[sinful jetty]

orr you could 3d print little flippable feet like you have on keyboards

for the laptop

[viscid mason]

thats the first time ive heard that idea

thats genius

[sinful jetty]

you're welcome, there's more useless shit where that came from

[viscid mason]

heck yeah

[sinful jetty]

joystick

[viscid mason]

actually it doesn't rly run hot, and the fans are fine

so i dont think i need flipup feet

[sinful jetty]

joystick in laptop

[viscid mason]

oh heck yeah

[sinful jetty]

lmao the ltt joystick lock would go hard

[viscid mason]

FRR

[sinful jetty]

definition of creating a problem and then solving it yourself

[carmine helm]

What are the specs?

[sinful jetty]

laptop

[viscid mason]

core i5 8th gen, Intel UHD Graphics 620, and 12 gigs of ram

💀😭

after putting tiny 11 on it it actually runs not to bad

[carmine helm]

yea it definitley dont need flippy feet💀

[sinful jetty]

what's the drive

[viscid mason]

like 100 fps fancy settings 1080p Minecraft

i was somewhat impressed

[carmine helm]

wow yea

[sinful jetty]

vro is minecraft the only benchmark you use lmao

[frozen mica]

you should use an egpu on it

[viscid mason]

i also did furmark

[viscid mason]

maybe XD

[carmine helm]

well with how unoptimized minecraft java is it runs pretty slow

on alot of older hardware

[viscid mason]

heh, i never said it wasnt optimized

💀

also on furmark it got a score of like 620 at 12 fps

💀💀💀

[carmine helm]

but can it run crysis

[sinful jetty]

doesn't minecraft java still run on a single thread?

[viscid mason]

somehow for general desktop use it performs quite nice tho

[grand trellis]

the next WAN show is going to be fire

[plush sluice]

Watchu mean I’m confused what you’re trying to say

[viscid mason]

unless you install sodium, ye

[viscid mason]

oh nah

[viscid mason]

lmao

[grand trellis]

they're basically forcing everyone to use windows 11 now

[sinful jetty]

that's hilarious. so minecraft java runs terribly, even on the best hardware. unless you have mods to offload chunk rendering to other threads

[carmine helm]

ya see this is why i run linux

[grand trellis]

but I haven't read the entire thing

[viscid mason]

kinda

[mystic tundra]

I say no, i stay windows 10

ltsc

[sinful jetty]

minecraft's 1% lows are literally dogshit

[mystic tundra]

I need

[viscid mason]

but nowadays, everyone who knows anything about minecraft java knows that, and installs mods to fix it

super easy now as well

so its all good

[carmine helm]

yeah i never play without sodium

[viscid mason]

same

[mystic tundra]

I think they changed something recently, it runs smoother since they switched to 64bit only, could be unrelated but it's interesting

[grand trellis]

I would join the Linux hype train by now if I didn't need windows + if linux had better UI

[mystic tundra]

I will wait until hype train ded and i get the best out of linux

[carmine helm]

theres a ton of different desktop enviroments u can use all with different looks

[sinful jetty]

even with sodium, the constant stutters and hitches are always there. minecraft java is just terrible :(

[carmine helm]

so linux can pretty much be however you want it

[viscid mason]

not for me

[sinful jetty]

did you cehck it with frameview?

[viscid mason]

sounds like a chunk loading problem

[carmine helm]

try E4MC

[mystic tundra]

i play vanilla and i experience no stutterinos at 24+ render/sim distance

[carmine helm]

it multithreads chunkloading

[grand trellis]

the main issue is the software I need is mainly on windows

[viscid mason]

install lithium and c4me

[mystic tundra]

Maybe as the game loads in

[viscid mason]

oh wait c2me

[grand trellis]

I'm getting into software engineering

[mystic tundra]

or when elytra

[carmine helm]

ohh yea if it isnt compatible with wine thats an issue

[viscid mason]

i think

[carmine helm]

yea thats the one

[viscid mason]

ye

[carmine helm]

i was quite confused

[viscid mason]

those should fix that problem

and if it doesnt, just try some other chunk/entity loading mods

and that should fix it

[sinful jetty]

i mean once mc java's been running for a few mins and you have your local area already loaded and cached, stutters should be minimal. microstutters are still there tho, and it's irritating. they're hard to see, but it bothers me.

[viscid mason]

and if it doesnt, then idk maybe ur pc is just tweaking

thats just called gaming

and loading

[sinful jetty]

but if you're constantly loading chunks? annoying. stutters all the time.

[viscid mason]

ye, install c2me, and lithum

should help or fix it all

or lower your render distance

or get more ram/vram

💀

and install some memory leak mods to help with that as well

[hybrid echo]

if you have 12 gigs of ram, allocate 4 gigs of vram and 8 gigs of system

that might slighly help

[viscid mason]

fr

[sinful jetty]

yea allocating more ram for the jvm is like the first thing i do

[viscid mason]

good lol

[hybrid echo]

or just upgrade to 32 and allocate 12 gigs lol

[sinful jetty]

i just run sodium

[viscid mason]

id also recommend using feather client, it lets you install all the mods from inside the launcher

[hybrid echo]

but doubt that will do much for the hdu620 lol

[viscid mason]

making it very easy, and feather just has some more optimizations in it to help with all this stuff

[viscid mason]

well that explains it

install all 3 of these and your game should be SOOOOO much better

theirs basically a mod to fix anything and everything you find wrong with minecraft

[sinful jetty]

honestly tho most of my complaints spring from when i had a worse system

my current pc just plows through it

[old plank]

Back when I still played Sodium, Lithium and Phosphor were the go to for better performance

[hybrid echo]

explode.

[old plank]

And honestly my game ran fine with them all, even with a WE going or a stupid crazy raid farm.

[carmine helm]

i upgraded from a 3700x and 2060 to 7950x3d and 7900 xt and i got a 4 fps improvement

[old plank]

What's the go to now then?

[carmine helm]

so atleast in my case better pc did not help💀

lithium and c2me my beloved

[sinful jetty]

sodium is also in the mix lol

[austere shale]

Yk im realizing im that guy that bought a 4090 to play mainly Minecraft, I really haven’t played much of anything else besides tarkov

[viscid mason]

good

you need all 3

[sinful jetty]

goos 💔

[viscid mason]

thats the point lmao

[viscid mason]

sshuuusshhh XD

[sinful jetty]

bruh it literally did nothing

i think my frame times are actually worse now

[viscid mason]

give it a sec

to load the world a bit

and then they should stop stuttering

even if you load new chunks

[sinful jetty]

bruh 100fps 1% lows

[viscid mason]

how many are you getting normal fps

[sinful jetty]

180 i'm gonna compare with just sodium, it felt the same

[viscid mason]

alr

[old plank]

Now all you need to add is Item Scroller, MiniHUD and Tweakeroo! Adds them QOL things in

[viscid mason]

item scrolling i love, haven't heard of those other things

[river dagger]

I think I made a big mistake😭😭, Ive been watching LTT videos while eating for YEARS, and now when I watch LTT without food, even if I just ate, I instantly feel hungry

[viscid mason]

what are your specs???

[viscid mason]

thats real as heck

[river dagger]

😭

[viscid mason]

😭

[sinful jetty]

no u right c2me and lithium seem to help with the microstutters BIG TIME

[old plank]

MiniHUD is super nice, let's you do things like disable nether fog, see spawn chunks, light levels, structure bounding boxes etc.

[viscid mason]

oohhhh

noice

[sinful jetty]

oh the steaming pile of shit that is the java platform 💔

[viscid mason]

knew it XD

[viscid mason]

true, but again

[sinful jetty]

5900xt & rtx 3080

[viscid mason]

what are your specs

[old plank]

Better than bedrock 😈

[sinful jetty]

32gb 3866Mhz and a good ol PBO tuning

oh lol i have vsync enabled

[viscid mason]

then how the heck are you getting 180 FPS??? ive got an ROG ally that gets like 500 with no stutters

[eager lynx]

he;;pe

[viscid mason]

your doing something VEERRYY wrong

[eager lynx]

helloe

[viscid mason]

yooo

[eager lynx]

how are u guys feeling

[viscid mason]

goooood

[eager lynx]

winner mindset

[viscid mason]

working on my diy laptop hbu?

[eager lynx]

aaa i slept so good i didn't even hear my alarm xd

[viscid mason]

XD

[eager lynx]

getting ready for physics

[viscid mason]

noice

[sinful jetty]

have i been doing it wrong this whole time??? i thought vsync was fine

damn

[viscid mason]

oh

my gosh

💀

[eager lynx]

dont crash out lil bro 🙏

[viscid mason]

i felt physical pain when you said the word vsync

[eager lynx]

it took me 2h to install an additional software entirely on my tails stick ☠️

[viscid mason]

turn it off for minecraft, or set your max fps 80-100 higher than your refresh rate

[eager lynx]

or just overclock 🤫

[viscid mason]

that, is not, quite how that works (physical pain intensifies)

XD

[eager lynx]

overcolck 🤫

[deft void]

Does anyone know how to run a .mds file?

[viscid mason]

a what💀

idk look it up

[sinful jetty]

damn so even without vsync i still have those annoying ass stutters that takes my fps to like 100. that is just never going away, even with sodium, c2me, and lithium.

[eager lynx]

convert it to .iso

[viscid mason]

are your drivers up to date?

[eager lynx]

and use rufus or the windows formatting service

if you want to put it on a stick

[old plank]

How many chunks do you have rendered? Also are you trying to render new chunks when you get those stutters?

[sinful jetty]

300-400fps avg without vsync tho, max graphics 24 chunks

[viscid mason]

noice

[eager lynx]

use daemon tools lite

[sinful jetty]

no, i'm just walking around in like a 50 block radius. it's just minecraft

[deft void]

Oh true true. I downloaded a bmw car configurator yk the shit they have at dealerships

[viscid mason]

but still, thats just you, its not the game, its your PC

[eager lynx]

ahh cool fr

[viscid mason]

i think you might just have some outdated drivers from what it sounds like

[sinful jetty]

no

[eager lynx]

i'm 15 tho i can't have a car 😔

[viscid mason]

becouse that is NOT normal

[eager lynx]

i'm so excited to become 18 to get my licence

i alr know how to drive

[sinful jetty]

guys you need to either upgrade your eyes or use frameview, those stutters are always going to be there

[deft void]

Yeah it's for older cars which they don't have anymore

[viscid mason]

bro, im telling you, that is NOT normal, like i have never heard of someone having this issue

[eager lynx]

awesome, what bmw do u have

[old plank]

I mean are the stutters actually noticeable, are they effecting your play? I personally never really got those stutters. Maybe if I was in spectator and loading a bunch of new chunks but it wasn’t too often.

[sinful jetty]

no, it's not unplayable. just happens here and there. they're microstutters

if you're not crazy about them like me, you won't even notice them

[viscid mason]

yeah thats normal sometimes, but NOT going from 500 to 100

that is very unusual

[old plank]

Wasn’t that just because they had their FPS capped?

I’m not really following this convo properly lol

[sinful jetty]

it's uncapped now, i still get those microstutters

[viscid mason]

they uncapped it

yeah thats not normal

what launcher are u using?

[cloud kernel]

Any chance someone could help me in the tech support page with my M.2 NVMe question? Im very confused and dont see any help on google. Please

[sinful jetty]

vanilla

[viscid mason]

OH BREHHH

[sinful jetty]

the launcher impacts the runtime???

i am so confused rn

[viscid mason]

WELL DUH, go try lunar, or feather

[viscid mason]

its weird, just trust

[deft void]

I don't have one

[viscid mason]

i suggest feather, becouse you can just install mods from inside the launcher in like one click

it literally has a search engine for mods, and then you just select the ones u want

mb lmao

[fresh sorrel]

I was thinking about those FSD test videos with cameras and lidar, do you guys think a car would stop driving into a giant mirror

Because lidar screws up with mirrors but I’m sure the camera would detect a car “coming towards” it

[red sapphire]

I should glue mirrors to my car to mess with lidar

[red sapphire]

Lost in the sauce

[winged spire]

Yes

FSD doenst use lidar

It would stop

[fresh sorrel]

Teslas don’t, other cars do

Tesla is camera only

[winged spire]

FSD is Tesla

[fresh sorrel]

Ok well nomenclature aside automated driving

[winged spire]

Lidar would have a much bigger issue with mirrors

If it was head on presumably it would make it detect itself in the mirror

[winged spire]

Same as vision only

[fresh sorrel]

Yeah I honestly think vision would do better in that scenario, if you’ve ever tried to scan like a metallic object with lidar it has no idea what’s going on even if it’s smooth

I’d just be curious how much the cars with lidar are able to use cameras as a backup in that situation

If lidar said nothing was there but it “looked” like smth was there

[winged spire]

Waymo’s have 13 cameras

More than teslas

They also have 6 radars

[abstract anvil]

Hello! Not sure where to ask this so I'll ask here.
I have all the need for speed games (except unbound) on PS4, but I'm getting an Xbox OneX from a friend and wanted to know if I can use the same EA Account and keep all my progress.
I also want to play on PC, can I link my Xbox account to my EA Account and keep my progress on all three devices?
It may sound dumb but it's because my friend from school really wants to multiplay together and it doesn't seem to work Xbox to PS4.

[viscid mason]

I did a thing to the DIY laptop I’m making

I added a removable mechanical keyboard addon

I know it looks like an ergonomic nightmare, which is why I’m going to design a wrist rest that’ll clip on as well to add a nice curve for your hands with a gap for the touchpad

But that’s a job for tomorrow, I spent 2 hours on doing this, and it is now 4 am

So gn 💀

[warped igloo]

there was this guy that made a pc with a monitor on it

[viscid mason]

U mean, like

[civic crypt]

ik linus must get this but why does linus kinda look like reese from Malcom in the middle

[viscid mason]

An internal display

?

[warped igloo]

a display on the case

[viscid mason]

Because their are a ton of cases and fans and stuff that do that now

[viscid mason]

Yeah you can just get a case with that

[warped igloo]

like a whole monitor i mean

really?

[viscid mason]

Bro didn’t watch the LTT vid where they put like 100 displays in a pc

lol

Been working on it for like 4 days

Love this thing

[warped igloo]

wait why not just use a regular laptop

[stiff moat]

less cool

[viscid mason]

Why not

I wanted to build a laptop with parts I had laying around

So I did, and sense I built the thing, I know how every bit of it works, so If I ever wanna add something or upgrade it I can just do that

[viscid mason]

Also true

Also I was just bored lol

[small zealot]

hello, I am new hear. I may be looking for some help later. I am looking to build my first unraid system.

[viscid elm]

why unraid

[wispy pollen]

I think I bit off more than I could chew. I can't create a program (a reverse engineering DLL program) for the technical teat, since I have no single idea about Reverse engineering, as well as a lack of time due to my siblinga using my computer for their OJT documents.

What should I do?

[old plank]

Find someone on Fiverr and pay them to do it for you!

[warped igloo]

dont do it

[patent violet]

But today is the day that patent finally expires

Oh look at that somebody already made an article about it

I had this on my calendar lol

So that means that adjustments to the design itself can happen without the need of licensing

We should start seeing a whole bunch of new designs for AIO coolers start to hit the market

Finally

Asetek should have lost that patent a long time ago honestly

[neon mesa]

I just missed a technical meeting that I suggested because sleep deprivation suddenly hits

Never skip sleep

You will pay later

[winged spire]

Was astec the ones preventing people from putting pumps inside the block side of AIOs?

Someone had like the patent on putting the pump inside the actual block vs else where iirc

Oh yeah i should probably read the article

That’s good 👍🏻

[patent violet]

Yes

[winged spire]

China definitely has the edge when it comes to innovation if nothing else but their lack of IP law

Desktop 3d printing couldn’t exist until the late 2000s because stratasys and HP held the ENTIRE technology under patent for decades

We couldn’t have actively heated build chambers until just a few years ago when another stratasys patent expired

[rustic tundra]

shout out to linus techtip for inventing ltt

[jaunty compass]

Oh hey, now everyone can make generic aios legally

[mint abyss]

Do companies intentionally downgrade smart devices to trick us to buy their latest? I have this amazon show device with a screen, pretty expensive from like 4 years ago. It used to respond everytime I say "alexa", now half of the time I say "alexa" it doesn't respond.

[small cosmos]

what does this patent

[viscid elm]

money

[small cosmos]

no i mean what tech

[viscid elm]

pump in cpu block

[small cosmos]

OH WTF

[viscid elm]

ever wonderd why they did this

[small cosmos]

thats the pump (?)

[viscid elm]

if you do not want to be sued

[small cosmos]

oh FUCK yeah

speaking of aios im getting a liquid freezer iii 360 argb in black soon

but i need to take it apart to ACTUALLY install it

[dense dirge]

guys should I buy the 9070xt for 800 dollars or pray and wait for the prices to go down

[oak pier]

yeah those prices ain’t gonna be coming down anytime soon

Surreal, legit can buy a tesler and open it up and look inside self server at the shopping mall as a kiosk

[winged spire]

thats based, dealerships all fucking suck

all car manufacters should follow suit

id rather spend the day at the DMV then a car dealership

[pulsar violet]

lol

But where’s the fun though, the dealer is trying to bankrupt you

And you fight that

[harsh quartz]

Then go to a better dealership?

[winged spire]

only to end up still feeling like you got scammed

[vapid smelt]

A dealer here took my grandparents keys for the car they drove there with and refused to give them back until they bought a car, thankfully the threat of calling the cops worked

[harsh quartz]

If a dealership isn’t doing right by you, Leave.

[winged spire]

are we pretending that people enjoy car dealers/the whole dealership experience now?

[pulsar violet]

I hate it

Their shitty grin

[winged spire]

the alternative is... you (optionally) schedule a demo/test drive for free

[harsh quartz]

Should’ve called the cops anyways

[pulsar violet]

It’s like going to GameStop for cars imo, when trading in

[winged spire]

then go home and spend 2 minutes in an app and boom

you bought a car

[harsh quartz]

We have 1 good dealership in my city, ive recommended them to multiple people and no one’s been scammed/done wrong by them yet. I understand dealers are shitty but most people want to feel the car they’re buying before they buy it. Also not everyone is buying a new car

[pulsar violet]

I like the experience and UI just not the person that’s the public image of the company (not gonna elaborate as I’m not trying to get more into that) but I wish another manufacturer had that

[winged spire]

we dont need this charade, its not protecting small business

[vapid smelt]

Why buy a new car when used is an option (assuming the car market was normal unlike now)

[harsh quartz]

Yeah the problem is new ones are the same price as used right now cause it’s fucked :p

[winged spire]

buying a brand new car off the lot is a very poor financial decision in 99.99% of cases

thats a separate point though

[vapid smelt]

Don't worry the made in America cars will be cheap and plentiful!

[harsh quartz]

I won’t drive a ford and you can’t make me!

[winged spire]

rivian does

[pulsar violet]

Well model 3/civic esk pricing something affordable

[pulsar violet]

80% made in American (idk if that’s factual)

[winged spire]

manufacters in amercian cant own their own dealerships which is why rivian and tesla have showrooms and you buy the car on the app

[vapid smelt]

How about now if it had the fixed non exploding gas tank

[winged spire]

the law was to stop giant car companies from crushing and undercutting smaller dealerships only for 95% of dealerships to consolidate under a couple companies in the decades since

the laws do not function anymore

[vapid smelt]

Even then parts go back and forth over the Ca border during the manufacturing process

[winged spire]

im all for American manufacturing, if only we had an administration that promoted it 😐

[pulsar violet]

Yup, just was fine how it was, hope that after the next 3 2/3 years everything goes back to normal

[vapid smelt]

Exactly like Edison Motors

[harsh quartz]

I went through and customized one of these. 2 things, 1) there’s no way to make them look good. 2) it doesn’t tell you pricing while your customizing

[winged spire]

they havent even given a firm price

[pulsar violet]

Yup

[winged spire]

"Expected price under 20,000$"

[pulsar violet]

Like the concept but don’t think they can follow through

[winged spire]

oh AND
-# after federal incentives*

thats 7500$

so its going to be $27499.99 lol

I tried to set up a VM with Windows XP yesterday, and it is SO slow to just burn the OS on the virtual disk, although I dedicated 4 cores. May be a CPU bottleneck at this point, but I have no trouble with other images, like Linux. Maybe a Linux vs Windows speed thing ?
(could also just be a skill issue)

Just got my "used" LTT backpack from their fire sale a while ago.....VERY NICE!!! Thanks Linus and the team at LTT!!! The discount saved me months in being able to afford it!

[frigid flower]

hello

[gilded quest]

I doubt they will hit their $20k (after incentives that may or may not exist anymore) target and I expect it to deliver more like late 2028

However i wish them the best of luck

[vapid smelt]

Oh the suv can be lowered and put on smaller 17" wheels vs the 20

[tacit crater]

Can anyone help with a trade?

My 2060 super plus a $100

For their

XFX RX 6700XT MERC edition

Is this a fair deal?

[fossil frost]

"fair" is subjective... if you want a 6700xt, its more than fair, if you dont, then no its not... it depends on how much you value the 6700xt and the 2060

[tacit crater]

How big of an upgrade is it from the 2060 super?

[fossil frost]

www.google.com

ill make it even easier, https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

Appreciate the answer. Im just not tech savvy at all. Completely new to this.

Would be like upgrading to a rtx 2080ti

[winged spire]

"under 20k if the government pays us 7.5k per car"

they made a small 30,000$ electric pickup that happens to have a current government tax credit lol

[vapid smelt]

Remember when we killed cars for cash for clunkers

I wish the slate had a built in fm/am radio and speakers

Crank windows are alright by me

[fossil frost]

the UK killed their £2000 trade in scheme for any old car, against any new car for 2 reasons. all new cars suddenly became £2000 more expensive.. and... people just started going on auto trader, buying a totalled car for £50, and then trading that in for £2000

[vapid smelt]

It's just big brother giving my tax money back

[tacit crater]

Wait really? Thank you

[winged spire]

crank windwos are insane in an EV

[vapid smelt]

Yup

[winged spire]

theyre really going for the poor person aesthetic its weird as fuck

[vapid smelt]

Old chart 6700xt probably performs a bit better with the added updates

[gilded quest]

Hasn't Tesla pulled the exact same marketing shit

WHERE DID MU FUCKIN REPLY GO

[vapid smelt]

Rather have crank windows over jeep power windows

[rustic tundra]

thats a old chart

[winged spire]

what

[gilded quest]

Garbage ass messaging app

[shut lichen]

Unless they're like using an existing window mechanism like from a J70 cruiser or something it probably cost them more to design and make manual windows than electric ones

[rustic tundra]

there isnt even a 3090ti

[vapid smelt]

If you read my comment I said that

Comment attached to the photo

[rustic tundra]

how old that must be

it has to be before 2022

[winged spire]

meh

[fossil frost]

it has the 2 cards on the OP asked about, why does it matter?

[rustic tundra]

idk

cool seeing old charts

back when 3090ti was top

[winged spire]

theyre saving pennies for the cost of manually rolling your windows down

[rustic tundra]

now its mid

[winged spire]

It really seems like they wanted the aesthetic of manual windows rather than actual cost savings

[shut lichen]

I was saying that money was probably not saved at all

[winged spire]

manual rolldown windows are cheaper

[shut lichen]

Unless they used an existing mechanism from one of the few vehicles still using manual windows

[fossil frost]

depends on the target market... some people want the "it wont ever die" feel when they buy a vehicle like that.. even if the main motor or the battery will die long before the window motors... people refuse to change... so getting them to make ONE change, to switch to EV, is easier than getting them to make a complete change

they likely chose manual windows because thats what their target market wants

[rustic tundra]

3090 released 5 years ago

[winged spire]

id be willing to bet there are more manual cars sold in the US than cars with manual windows lol

[formal swan]

What is a good but kinda cheap CPU

[winged spire]

<1% of new cars sold in the US are manual

[vapid smelt]

Idk with the tariffs now....

[fossil frost]

i thought that manual cars in the US were like chicken teeth?

[rustic tundra]

no cars are sold with manual windows these days except rear windows in very VERY budget cars

[winged spire]

thats my point

[rustic tundra]

like dacias or something

[winged spire]

exactly lol

there isnt a target market for manual windows on a brand new car

[vapid smelt]

The rental car fleet

[fossil frost]

the target market isnt asking for manual windows, the target market is those who are reluctant to change their 30 year old existing vehicle. so they make a car that has the fewest changes possible

[winged spire]

those people arent buying EVs

[rustic tundra]

nvm the newest sandero has electric rear windows

[vapid smelt]

Hey car is 31

[rustic tundra]

i guess there are no cars with manual windows sold

[fossil frost]

if the only change you make, is making it EV, some of them will.. and thats the point.. thats what they are trying to do... they are trying to eat into that market

[shut lichen]

J70 land cruiser.

Fucking discord

[winged spire]

thats a horrible business model

[rustic tundra]

my car has manual rear windows

[winged spire]

what year?

[rustic tundra]

but its a 2002

electric front manual back

[fossil frost]

my car has telepathic windows.. you dont even have to press a button, you just think at the car, and it does what you want

[winged spire]

my 06 explorer had automatic windows

[vapid smelt]

estimates the Truck's range at 150 miles for the standard battery and 240 miles for the available accessory battery.

My 04 Hyundai accent base model had crank windows and a non adjustable steering wheel

[winged spire]

so like 90 miles if the tempature is less than 20 degrees

[rustic tundra]

for normal people thats 240km and 386km

[winged spire]

"normal people" we are literally talking about a truck that will only be available in the US

we are going to use imperial lol

[rustic tundra]

there are people who do metric and want to join in

like me 🤑

[winged spire]

its 7500$ assuming it meets both requirements

theres a lot of sacrifices for a car that could retail at 27500$

[fossil frost]

just do what VW do/did.. and lie... and then deal with it later IF you get caught 🙂

[vapid smelt]

We should put incentives on motorcycles instead to save both human lives and the environment

[fossil frost]

100%, we need more organ donors

[winged spire]

motorcycles are only more dangerous in a world dominated by cars

so if you go very far the other way (all of asia) its extremely safe

[vapid smelt]

Vietnam is mostly bikes and have less road fatalities then the US ," a year or so ago I added up some random us states so the population was the same as Vietnam"

Ah here was my amazing work

Yeah it looks like an extremely interesting concept, depends on the pricing. Also the range is fairly low

for some reason my cursor never locks on any app, especially minecraft and roblox. It doesnt matter if its fullscreen, windowed, and shift lock doesnt work. Anyone know why? I dont think its game settings, its probably my pc settings, but idk what it is

[zealous cedar]

Try turning off windows Xbox game bar
I’ve seen that be a cause every now and then

[cobalt hawk]

uhh

how do i do that

[zealous cedar]

Go to Windows Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game
Bar.
• Toggle the "Enable Xbox Game Bar" switch to Off.
• Restart your PC then try again

[cobalt hawk]

tyy

[crystal flare]

i wish the xbox app for windows was a true competitor to steam.

[zealous cedar]

I’m waiting for Steam OS myself

Only thing I do on my pc is game anyway

[crystal flare]

steam is basically a borderline monopoly on pc gaming.

[zealous cedar]

I wouldn’t go that far but yes they have been successful
I’m glad they aren’t super crummy

[vapid smelt]

At least they are a pretty decent company

Can't imagine what will happen with steam once Gabe is gone

[mystic tundra]

epic games as well

nice when they drop free games to play

actually, i’ve collected so many within few months i haven’t had time to play most of them

not like they’re bad

i kinda dislike that megascans are no longer quite free

for ue5

yes, there are some new free assets iirc but most of them are paid now

[zealous barn]

hello, are there on pc any proper n safe password managers?

[shut lichen]

Lol

Funny how easy it is to make gamers think you're good by giving away games for free

Epic throw money around without providing any real benefit

They couldn't be bothered making their platform good so they just bought timed exclusives

They didn't want to pay store fees so they broke the terms of service and then made a lawsuit about it instead of trying to negotiate first

[oak pier]

Yeah the US tariffs are going to affect everybody

[mystic tundra]

i mean it is competition for sure, you don’t need to buy anything on the platform and you get paid games from few years ago for free, while steam does a discounts on those older paid games

[shut lichen]

Y'know it's not steam that decides the price or discount amounts right?

They encourage decent discounts during big sales, but they don't control it

[mystic tundra]

well, i don’t know doesn’t epic provide the devs some benefits to the publisher/devs if they put out games for free at some times

the companies get more money paid by epic and epic gets advertisements

[shut lichen]

Epic is 100% paying for those free games releases

As I said, epic pays for these things to draw fools to the platform so they don't have to put any real effort in

[mystic tundra]

0% until 1million, i see now that they updated their terms of service and increased? the store fees to 12%, i think it used to be less no? nvm wrong

[shut lichen]

At least their fees match their lack of platform features or benefits

[mystic tundra]

it’s literally that they want more people to buy into the platform… if you’re a freebie enjoyer… i don’t see not getting the free games aslong they don’t use some unethical practics like not paying the devs or forcing them to

free games

i don’t think they do or can do that from the contracts established so far, but i may be wrong

[shut lichen]

They're definitely not paying the devs retail price for each copy given away, I can pretty much guarantee that

[mystic tundra]

but more than they otherwise would get that week

in sales

if epic pays them like $5k for the game free week, the sales average let’s say $1k a week that would be a short term W for the company/publisher/devs

[shut lichen]

And then sales are probably lower for weeks after since everyone that had their eye on the game has now gotten it for free

[mystic tundra]

also, they want to attract people, which can also benefit the same devs more in case the exact same user has interest for a sequel

[mystic tundra]

probably not enough of a long term hit for them to not give it out free for the benefits

and it’s ultimately their decision, important is that the end user gets the free game, if the epic’s policy does not involve deception such as not releasing them the money or some illegal practise or predatory practices, or something similar i think it’s fine

[mystic tundra]

yeah that’s : /, but atleast they set off a chain to change apple’s policy a bit for better

now apple is required to not restrict developers linking alternative payment methods

but it’s still sketchy

they do restrict it sort of because you gotta apply

and meet certain criteria

[rustic tundra]

do they ship the screwdriver to europe

[mystic tundra]

yes but expect customs to ruin your wallet

and shipping to cost €13+

[rustic tundra]

a shipment from the us costed me like 10 euro

[alpine gale]

The only way to verify this is to input your address into the checkout page. They ship to Europe, but you'll only know if they ship to YOU if you verify by entering your address.

[mystic tundra]

oh yeah ltt pays the taxes for you

Much better. Now you just need a quality office chair with roller blade casters.

[stray lintel]

Yeah that’s the one thing I’ve always lacked ahah

It’s hard to find something that fits into a home environment / the other interior design elements of my home that still works as a good office chair

[alpine gale]

While I get what you're saying, your back and body do not care about "interior design elements" and will, in fact, literally kill you after years of sitting in the wrong type of chair. Furniture should be function first, ALWAYS.

when you buy it there is something called a rank

[tardy flame]

ya

[ember geyser]

like private sergeant or wtv

[tardy flame]

lvl 40 medal?

[ember geyser]

and i need to rank up a rank or level so i can get my weekly care package

[ember geyser]

no bro

like every rank up= weekly care package

or free skins and cases

[tardy flame]

cool

[ember geyser]

that you can resell to even get profit for what you paid for prime status

prime is 15 bucks

and you can sell skins or cases depending on how rare and what is the float on it the skins cases have no float you can just open to get skins or sell for a few cents or dollars even

and there is a skin that you can sell for 70 bucks!

pretty cool right?

[ember geyser]

so down to help me get my next weekly care package?

[tardy flame]

ik, I've 3k hours on it.

just idk about the latest updates haven't played much since cs2.

[ember geyser]

when cs2 released or

People looking at the minimum requirements for GTA 6 as if a 3070 is THAT much of an ask

[iron blaze]

if minimum is a 3060 i'm sure someone will find a way to use a 1080ti or smth

unless it really needs raytracing or smth i have no idea

[warm summit]

3070 are like 180€ used

it’s not that expensive

[austere shale]

Exactly

[warm summit]

i paid like 250€ for my 3090

[fossil frost]

the expense doesnt come into it... the 3070 is now a low-end-of-the-mid-tier card, especially so next year when GTA6 may actually come out... which is what you would expect for minimum requirements from a game of the type of GTA6's type

[warm summit]

i love how you tech people call something high end low end

[fossil frost]

where did i call it low end?

[warm summit]

my mom rocking a gtx 1060 💪

[warm summit]

you can’t read yourself ?

[fossil frost]

i said it was on the low end of mid tier

[austere shale]

If you ain’t first you’re last

[fossil frost]

i didnt say "its low end" i said its at the bottom of the middle tier.... which isnt low.. its still mid tier, but its not as good as other mid tier cards. and all that is taking into account, the context of the rest of the market... there are much more powerful cards now, there are 2 new generations that have come out after the 30 series... pushing all the 30 series down... so yes, its still a very good and very capable card, but, suggesting its a "high end" card still, with the context of the rest of the market, is simply incorrect

it can be both a good card, and low-mid tier... they are not mutually exclusive

[warm summit]

my old bmw series 5 was an high end car and still is to this day lmao

i won’t call it low end just because it’s sold

more “high end for its age”

i mean i think it’s still more high end than modern car actually

[fossil frost]

"more power" isnt a thing with cars, so for a start, its a bad analogy. but... compared to current BMWs, and the power and performance they produce for the amount of fuel they consume, it would likely now be considered inefficient, maybe it produces the same BHP as newer cars, maybe more... but those newer cars do it more efficiently, so given the context of the modern world, and what people want these days, the newer cars would be considered "better" by "most people"

[warm summit]

actually my old series 5 is more efficient than a newer series 5

since it’s lighter

i no longer own this car sadly but it was like 3l/100km

[fossil frost]

cars are not trying to get more and more power out of more and more fuel.. which GPUs are doing, cars are trying to keep the same power, a smaller engine, and less fuel

[fossil frost]

thats 94mpg, no BMW has ever done that... ever... unless it was switched off, rolling down a hill

[warm summit]

diesel

you probably don’t have them in usa

[fossil frost]

so, probably closer to 6L if its diesel, same as my old one that i used to have... 7L for petrol ones

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt know, i dont live in the USA

[fossil frost]

what year?

[warm summit]

i remember my g30 was often under 5l/100 on highway

[warm summit]

2001

i remember the car consumed nothing

[fossil frost]

which series? 525? 540?

[warm summit]

525

[fossil frost]

the 525 got 27mpg on the highway, and 18 for city driving,

[warm summit]

at highway speed it felt under 4l i remember

i was going like 1100km
with 1 tank

i remember because on the e39 you have the little bar that told you how much you were consuming

[fossil frost]

27mpg, measured by the UK AA and some german word i cant remember that is a similar government body, measured that car to average 27mpg, which is 10.5L / 100km. with an 85L tank, you would generally get 800km/tank constant driving from that 10.5L/100km

lift and coast, might drag that out to 1000km, depending on whether or not that driving was ALL highway/motorway driving... but it was certainly not 3L/100km, it was 10-10.5L/100km

3L/100km is what a toyota yaris 900cc might get, if you are lucky

[warm summit]

maybe i had a golden unit

[warm summit]

3l/100 is actually common on clio with 1.5 dci

but i would never drive a clio in my life personally

[fossil frost]

tbh, im inclined to not believe you, since you have shown yourself to have no idea what you are talking about, or are lying

either way, im back to work now 🙂

[warm summit]

never told you to believe me

i just remember often seeing the car under the 4litre/100

[warm summit]

good luck mate
