[vapid wharf]

With that amount (3K USD) I can get a brand new one here

[kind vine]

3.7k sgd for shitty pny model with overseas warranty vs 4k sgd for an aorus master ice with local warranty

only diff is that the pny is on hand and the 5090 is through someone that has close relations with a distributor, that does a preorder for me with a 1 week fulfilment time

retail 5090s are at 4.5k sgd for gaming oc

the aorus ice is going for 5150 sgd

[vapid wharf]

Overpriced tbh

[kind vine]

all are after taxes

[vapid wharf]

God please bless my survey entries so I can win a RTX 5090

I will use it for AI research

[kind vine]

9% gst and 10% electronic tax

retail rn is a mess

[vapid wharf]

I will not run any games with it

[kind vine]

I will be both gaming and using AI if i get a 5090

im also going to UV it

[vapid wharf]

Tbh I would do that in a heartbeat, but I play the same games these days so it would be mostly AI related workload.

Research. Not running models.

And .cu practice.

[kind vine]

For me it'll be both research and models, and for gaming it'll be in 1440p PT with some DLSS if it doesnt hit the fps I want

[vapid wharf]

1440p optimized setting. No DLSS or framegen bullshit

[kind vine]

hopefully so but path tracing might require me to

[vapid wharf]

And if I were to win it, I would keep it inside my lab

[kind vine]

I might use DLSS and framegen in order to cut down power consumption tho

[vapid wharf]

Might measure that

The lower the better

Because I pay for my electricity.

[kind vine]

its not my household, im still 19 lmao

I have about another 5090 (retail pricing) in stocks and about 2 5090s in savings rn

if we go by that measurement

[near nymph]

I am in a very unfortunate situation… I’m at a hotel public washer and dryer. Someone put my cotton tshirt and underwear in the dryer…

😭

[vapid wharf]

I have 3 5090’s in savings

And 10 more on my offshore account

But yeah. God I wish I win this raffle.

[kind vine]

tbh for me a 5090 is way more considerable than a car

bcs singapore car prices go crazy

[vapid wharf]

Same. Im a motorcyclist anyway.

[kind vine]

"I have a 5090 but i take public transport" true chad

[vapid wharf]

I can’t stand public transport

[kind vine]

i walk fucking fast and i use my airpods a shit ton outside

i walk fast af but im not physically fit lmao

[vapid wharf]

But really. I wouldn’t use my shit for gaming until I graduate

I will put it on my cabinet and forget about it, or put it inside my lab and forget it.

[kind vine]

I probably sound stupid and selfish for saying this, but i genuinely think the gpu market is not going to improve for the 90 class, and 4090s and 5090s will keep their value till 5090 EOL, and right b4 60 series comes

[vapid wharf]

Or I’ll ask work to host it in a system (we have 2x A100 test bench idling) so I can test it

[kind vine]

and the 60 series will just be more expensive lmao

[vapid wharf]

Its not. Because everyone with a braincell knows that an average gamer is not the 90 series intended customer.

Its the new Titan series and we know what Titans are used for.

[kind vine]

rn im looking to buy the 5090 not really as an investment, but more as a loan type

[vapid wharf]

Why?

[kind vine]

because as i expressed, i really think its gonna keep 90% of its value

[vapid wharf]

Im considering 5090 as an investment for gaming and my hobby of abusing expensive GPU’s on ML and GPU oriented workloads

[kind vine]

im ngl talking with 5nail has opened my eyes on how different people have different financial views

[vapid wharf]

Technically I can do it with work but if I were to leave, I’d lose access to it.

So I would like to keep it.

[kind vine]

the diff is that ur hoping while im planning

[vapid wharf]

Nice

I couldn’t bring much sense to think like that

(I don’t sell my hardware either)

[kind vine]

if i won a 5090 i ofc would keep it
however with what im saying and planning, it is to buy and sell it, treating it as a loan

[vapid wharf]

I definitely wouldn’t loan it to people! Lmao

[covert cradle]

@vapid wharf so any update on cuda and rt core counts in the DGX Spark's GB10 at computex? I'm skimming one of the talks on it rn

Just a little toasty

[warm bronze]

hi

[somber crane]

We need new junkyard wars. I also have a valuable idea for one!

The Canadian North is such a hostile place to try and do anything, shipments of new parts rarely come in, and the small tight neck communities while they deal with what they’ve got for the most part

So I think the LMG team should do a junkyard wars in the Canadian north, maybe in Iqaluit or another far north city

Budget should probably be higher than usual, and at the end, maybe donate the final computers to someone local in the community who could benefit from having access

[pastel marsh]

scrapyard wars

[somber crane]

Yes

[alpine gale]

Neat idea... But have you ever been to Iqaluit?

[somber crane]

I want to someday

[winged spire]

They’d also have to like

Find a random creator warehouse employee to do it

Everyone in LTT that would actually do it is too recognizable

[alpine gale]

Same. Based on a coworker's stories working up there... You don't be building computers by way of buy and sell parts hunting.

[somber crane]

That’s why I think it would be an interesting challenge

[midnight pumice]

Question, someone is selling a 5090 prebuilt for $4500 USD.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K $589
MSI RTX 5090 32 GB $3 049.99
Z890 ATX motherboard $499.99
64 GB DDR5-6000 kit $248.99
2 TB PCIe 5 NVMe SSD $339.99
360 mm AIO CPU cooler $149.99
1 000 W ATX 3.1 PSU $199.99
MSI midsize chassis $109.99
Total parts cost: $5370 (if purchased with no tax)

Do I do it?

[winged spire]

There’s 7500 people in lqaluit

I very much doubt they’ll even be able to do 2 pcs

It’s hard enough in a city with 10x the people

[viscid elm]

no

[midnight pumice]

Any particular reason you think I should steer away from it?

[viscid elm]

gaming
285k

[midnight pumice]

I'm primarily doing dev/ML stuff with light gaming.

Currently my 1080ti and 1950x Threadripper barely squeak out enough for me to be happy

[viscid elm]

o wow

[midnight pumice]

I play warthunder and want to be able to play ES6/GTA6 at ultra probably

But will it be_ that_ bad for gaming?

[viscid elm]

ngl 9950X and i dono 5090 would well could be a better combo

[viscid elm]

eh not really

i dono but you can build a pc with the same specs for less 100% but meh its not a BAD price

[alpine gale]

YouTube's API works 100% of the time. No bugs here. /s

[midnight pumice]

That's where I'm at. I'm just trying to rationalize it to my monkey brain. I was all cool with spending $3k on a new/used build with a 4090, but for $1500 more I can get a 5090

[viscid elm]

XD

[midnight pumice]

Id also be buying it untested and unopened. I'd meet at a police station and bring a bill of sale and snag a pic of his driver's license

[viscid elm]

god i love him just adding in the /s after that

[somber crane]

I’m sure there is a way they could find rules for a northern lights edition scrapyard wars and have it work

[viscid elm]

northern lights edition?

[winged spire]

This would be the end of the slate truck before they even release

[somber crane]

Yeah, Canadian far north

[winged spire]

Without the 7500$ tax credit the “20,000$ electric truck” is now atleast 27500$ plus options and tax

Useless info of the day:

Linus slightly raises his eyebrow for a moment when making a joke in some situations
I observe this exact movement done by a family member of mine, in similar situations
One example is a joke in front of serious people, a natural way to signal "hey I'm jk"

ok useless info end, thanks for tuning in.

Idk what use this info has but you're welcome

[limber stratus]

most likely for AI training

[cerulean compass]

youtubers telling me I should hate nvidia but their prices are so much better than amds 😭

[polar fern]

Nvidia is basically the same as a fossil fuel company at this point with how much carbon emissions their products are responsible for

“Ai training” is a joke

[harsh quartz]

Nvidia making GPUs = oil companies lobbying to make sure the infrastructure of the nation stays reliant on highly pollutant fuel types. Definitely the same.

[polar fern]

Yes, exactly

All they do is offer products that require large amounts of power draw to utilize them fully

[harsh quartz]

Definitely not that if we had cleaner energy sources, nvidia actually wouldn’t be causing that much, because they’re just using the end product and not creating the cause of it

[polar fern]

There’s no such thing as “cleaner”

it’s either emissive/contaminating or it is not

[harsh quartz]

Hydro electric?

[polar fern]

Yeah, battery tech is definitely contaminating and a bit emissive on the production and raw materials side. We are very close to breakthroughs that would reduce that footprint quite a bit however, it’s still a problem right now.

Hydroelectric has its own problems

[wintry fog]

hi

[harsh quartz]

All of them will always have problems. Cannot disregard the good just cause it has a bad

[polar fern]

Existing dams being given more efficient generators, and transformers could help a lot actually

Pumped storage and single flow. Hydro are pretty good for baseline power, but they are monumentally disruptive from a geological and environmental standpoint.

Anything that burns something to generate electricity we need to move on from

One of the single largest uses of energy is building heating and cooling

We have so many structures that are so inefficient at being heated and cooled

Early in the 90s, we started being shamed by oil and gas companies about our own personal carbon footprint

What we really should’ve been focusing on this whole time is making buildings more efficient

Companies that put out high wattage processors should be charged for how much they are taxing the power grid

It’s ridiculous

Not only are the processors part of the problem, but then the heat from those processors, then has to be dealt with in the space where the equipment is

If there was less thermal load, we wouldn’t need to cool these spaces down as intensely, especially with large data centers

But what do I know? I’m just some idiot on some discord server..

[winged spire]

https://andymasley.substack.com/p/individual-ai-use-is-not-bad-for

AI is not nearly as bad as certain alarmists would like you to belive

it also helps that AI's power draw is all from large centralized datacenters which makes it MUCH easier to change it to carbon neutral energy sources

like SMRs

[harsh quartz]

https://youtu.be/F1o8Yf48hZ0?si=CKiU2HrkjxqgaMhD

The one positive thing to come from the AI boom

[winged spire]

You know about SMRs? @harsh quartz

microsoft seems like its going to be the first to implement them

[harsh quartz]

Small modular reactors? I know there’s a lot of work being done in the area but currently none are at a commercial level yet. Although IIRC one company has a permit to start building them in a few years?

[winged spire]

yep! theres quite a few now

theres atleast 4 companies working towards them

[harsh quartz]

The AI boom is leading a way to a second nuclear boom (the good kind) in the states

[winged spire]

one of the biggest issues with nuclear is that its got an insane upfront cost, but then almost nothing after

but investors dont like that long of a return

Once you HAVE a nuclear plant the only costs are staffing and like maintaince, all the fuel for the lifetime of a reactor is bought and stored from the start

[harsh quartz]

It makes sense for tech companies to bite the bullet first, they’re already used to having extremely high upfront costs for new technologies

[winged spire]

with SMRs, theyre many many orders of magnitude cheaper

[harsh quartz]

I don’t remeber what I watched, but sometime around a week ago or so, I saw a video, don’t remember who from, about a company building salt SMRs that were actually getting permits moving

[winged spire]

Like, imagine being able to plop down a single normal shipping container that outputs a gigawatt of clean electricity

Valar atomics is my perosnal favorite

look at these things, incredibly sick

[harsh quartz]

Oh, kek, it was also Kyle hill

https://youtu.be/N6oSo9EA8OY?si=vjdfZLxO44fRRudg

[harsh quartz]

Honestly trying to make it look cool kinda worries me. For something like this, you shouldn’t need it to look sleek or futuristic, you should just need it to work

[winged spire]

thats for the investors

pretty crutial for something like this tbh

[harsh quartz]

I was mistaken, this isn’t SMRs this just a salt reactor

[winged spire]

either way, more nuclear is good

any kind

--other than ... bad ones I guess lol

[harsh quartz]

More nuclear for the next 50-70 years is good. But not a permanent solution

[harsh quartz]

More rbmk reactors needed

[winged spire]

It wont be, the rate solar and such is developing we only need a stopgap till probably even before the turn of the century

[harsh quartz]

Stopgap is what nuclear needs to be. Economy decides what nuclear actually is.

[heady flicker]

you would think it'd be the opposite

[winged spire]

Why

[keen mural]

everyones scared of nuclear power unlike solar

[pure knoll]

Im glad solar panels are become more durable because recycling them is not fun

[winged spire]

Luckily theyre made out of some of the most abundent materials on earth

and the rest of the universe for that matter lol

[heady flicker]

hydrogen?

im kidding

[winged spire]

you can get panels as an individual consumer for as low as <27 cents per watt

which is INCREDIBLY cheap

18000w for like 6500$

thats pretty damn close to the cost of like a generator per watt

Is anyone knowledgeable on mini pc? I just brought an NUC NUC5i3RYK Mini PC and I was wondering if its any good for like streaming sites with Linux?

[grim belfry]

Most streaming services won't let you stream HD/4K on Linux

[alpine gale]

Sure, I mean, it's a 5th gen Intel box that runs a web browser, so it should be able to access most streaming sites. That said, whether or not the site supports Linux is up to the site itself.

[gilded quest]

I'll be honest they barely do this on windows

[grim belfry]

This is why we need Silverlight :p

[gilded quest]

The only streaming service I can stand on windows is youtube

Everything else I use a TV/console

[grim belfry]

I think Netflix would work okay as a UWP?

Surely

[gilded quest]

Uhhh

The old Netflix app was fine except it didn't respond to media controls well funny enough

In fact Netflix web I think was fine but I don't use Netflix anymore cause there's nothing to watch

Disney Plus is 4kHDR on a TV and 480pSDR on windows

[alpine gale]

Back when I had a subscription it worked well enough. Twas one of the only UWP apps I actually enjoyed.

[gilded quest]

Maybe not literally but man their web bitrate is doodoo

[grim belfry]

Lmao you're right - Why are all the UWP apps crap?

[alpine gale]

A great question for Microsoft to answer. Even Google seems to do a better job filtering what's accepted into the Play Store or Chrome Extension Store.

Despite driving and going out as a pedestrian is more fatal than flying.

[crisp rivet]

Therapy is awesome ❤️

That and Headspace

[vapid wharf]

Its like airline crashes. Rarely happens but when it happens, huge coverage.

[shut lichen]

And they're rarely shot down.... But when they are it's probably Russia but they'll deny it despite it clearly being one of their weapons

[vapid wharf]

Despite walking and driving is more lethal than airline crashes

[vapid smelt]

it was russias evil twin brother prussia

[vapid wharf]

There used to be a saying, that on air travel, the most dangerous part of the trip is the taxi ride to the airport.

[crisp rivet]

Got a six month trial of Headspace

[restive lion]

The most dangerous part is the fuckin luggage system eating your luggage

[vapid wharf]

That’s why you run cabin

[restive lion]

can't anymore!

The cheapest seats don't allow carry ons

[vapid wharf]

Lmao I never fly budget airlines

[restive lion]

I'm not even talking budget airlines

[vapid wharf]

I also know what you’re implying.

I also did that too, never again

[vapid smelt]

me'

[solemn goblet]

Imagine getting a cheap seat. Just got first class on a flight home

[restive lion]

I don't so that's news to me

[solemn goblet]

Ofc it was a very short flight

[vapid wharf]

The pilot is probably ex Ryanair since I got a nice spine stretch during landing due to how hard it was

[solemn goblet]

I so wish I got first class though on the 14 hour flight across the pacific. Being in a crowded space for 14 hours is not fun.

[restive lion]

Yeah I'm not European so I don't know your guys' insanely cheap and ultra shitty airlines lol

[vapid wharf]

Get a credit card and rack up those miles

[restive lion]

Ngl the 14 hour flight I just took was extremely pleasant

[vapid wharf]

To be honest my mindset on flights is simple

[restive lion]

Especially compared to the jumper flight I took afterwards that hurt my ass way more in 3 hours

[vapid wharf]

Avoid first class, and book skycouches if exist

I’ll be applying for a card that gets me free lounge access anyway

So at least I can get drunk before going to economy lmao

[restive lion]

My mindset for flights is also quite simple: cheap as you can get and suffer for the flight, spend the extra money at your destination

[lyric sphinx]

You can always get drunk

[restive lion]

CBP watching me gulp down the shampoo bottles

[atomic flame]

We have a specific chat for 3d printing?

[vapid wharf]

That too. I can always get drunk.

[restive lion]

I just sleep on the flight

Or watch movies off my phone

[solemn goblet]

I just take advantage of the in-flight WiFi lol

[vapid wharf]

That too. Im guaranteed to travel abroad once a year anyway so might as well get a travel card to abuse the perks

[solemn goblet]

Can just watch a lot of YouTube

[restive lion]

In flight wifi is ass

[solemn goblet]

Yep.

United Airlines has Starlink in-flight WiFi

Not every airline has it though unfortunately

[restive lion]

I only get it when crossing an ocean

And even then I only use it for texting

[vapid wharf]

Free airport transfer, lounge access, get drunk, buy travel exclusive alcohol, eat like big back, ask the flight attendant for a bottle of wine and get wasted in the plane.

[shut glacier]

Building a new PC super excited about it. Here are the specs:

9950X CPU
5070ti GPU
Aorus X870E Elite MB
64gb 6000mhz CL 36 RAM
1000W Seasonic Vertex PSU
280mm Fractal Aspect AIO
6TB of storage (NVME, 2.5”, 3.5” drives)
Fractal Meshify 3 case

Soooo excited about this pc it’ll be able to play literally anything I throw at it no issue

[vapid smelt]

what do you need a 9950x for

[shut glacier]

It was on a massive sale at the microcenter near me. Costed about the same as a 9800X3D

Was $499 as opposed to $649

[vapid smelt]

but the 9800x3d cost 480

[shut glacier]

Yeah about the same as a 9800X3D only $19 more

[vapid smelt]

why pick the slower gaming cpu?

[shut glacier]

I mean I don’t really play any cpu heavy games so it didn’t really matter to me. I just figured I should take advantage of the sale tbh. Plus I figured with 16 cores it’d be better than 8 cores.

[shut glacier]

But I guess the 3D v-cache makes a bigger difference than I realized

[vapid smelt]

its still a good cpu tbf

[shut glacier]

My previous cpu had 16 cores so I thought I’d get another with the same amount 🤷

Bad reasoning lmao

[shut glacier]

Yeah still a great cpu. I would’ve sprung for a 9950x3d tbh except im lowkey already stretching my budget pretty thin.

[vapid smelt]

for gaming it wouldnt really matter since it can only use the 8 cores because of how the vachce works

[shut glacier]

Oh shit I forgot about that

lol should’ve spent a bit more time studying. So use to building lower end builds for my friends I’m not super knowledgeable about the higher end stuff

Well not low end more mid range

Perhaps I will revisit microcenter and get a 9800X3D instead

[vapid smelt]

if you can still return it i would

[shut glacier]

I should be able to I literally just bought it today haven’t even opened the box either

Still waiting on 3 parts to arrive in the mail

[vapid smelt]

ah perfect

since the gap is 28% between the two

[alpine gale]

Or, if you must partake in such platforms, ensure you do THOROUGH research (and/or ask lots of questions) before coming to conclusions or believing what a single source says.

[restive lion]

Last person that really cared about the platform and the community I know of was jake

[vapid smelt]

linus no use discord

[forest coral]

then why is his account on the sever

[merry gull]

probably because y'know it's about linus' tech tips

[vapid smelt]

because its part of his company

[hybrid echo]

[merry gull]

don't abbreviate cyberpunk, that's like the only game that can't be abbreviated ;-;

[hybrid echo]

oh....OHH

mb ill change it lmao

[merry gull]

bro almost went to jail

[hybrid echo]

i need it to test it out on my old old machine

to see if it will hold up lol

it does have a titan xp so yeah prob

[vapid smelt]

it can be played on a steam deck so it should crush it

[hybrid echo]

thats not my scared point

i took out my oc 1680v2 in it and slaped the old 1603v1

i took it out to see how shitty the game can run with this shitty cpu

4c/4c sandybridge 32nm

2nd gen intel xeon

yeah thats quality we are talking about

[dusky jacinth]

Revolt

[hybrid echo]

tbh i might goback to teamspeak if it ges out of its forever beta stage

but discord has too much to leave, but tempting, very tempting

[uneven stirrup]

Fortnite on Linux?

Is this also on Mac OS too…

[vapid smelt]

most fortniters call it android

[uneven stirrup]

Well Mac OS is Linux based, and android itself needs a verification on device system to run Fortnite so no it’s not Linux…

Mac OS would be the closest to Linux… and plus you could run Mac OS on the steam deck… and I’m wondering how it would run Fortnite on macOS on steam deck

Nvm there’s no native amd drivers for macOS womp womp

[alpine gale]

MacOS is BSD, which is Unix-like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS

[uneven stirrup]

Yeah I’d love for epic games to finally add Fortnite to the steam deck or steam OS so I can finally ditch windows

[vapid wharf]

MacOS is BSD fork hence Unix

[grim belfry]

Simple solution: stop playing Fortnite

[uneven stirrup]

Or add epic games to steam deck… jeez that would be nice

[uneven stirrup]

no

[grim belfry]

Does this sound… really weird to anyone else?

[vapid smelt]

that would be like apple adding google play store to iphones

[uneven stirrup]

What the heck

[vapid smelt]

hire children

[heady flicker]

interesting

[uneven stirrup]

Well eh… at least let them add support for steam… also you can get some epic games stuff already it’s just not fully supported…

[heady flicker]

that's about 20 hours of labor

[vapid smelt]

take the chat gpt idea and hire 3rd world workers

[uneven stirrup]

Idk… just get a job… or trade stock

[grim belfry]

[uneven stirrup]

Easy way to get 1k a month

[heady flicker]

huh

[vapid smelt]

they want to pay someone under 1k a month to work for them

[uneven stirrup]

Oh… wait I thought they wanted to get paid 1k a month

[vapid smelt]

maybe they want a part time worker?

[lone zodiac]

Hi, wondering if anyone has any tips for planning a rgb strip route. currently struggling with trying to figure out how to place my new govee strip on my Fredde desk.
Just wish there was some exampls online of how people route leds on this desk.

[prime solstice]

Epic games is on steam deck just use heroic https://heroicgameslauncher.com/

[civic fox]

epic games launcher is shit, heroic is by far better, and works on windows and linux

[fossil frost]

Yep. But won't run Fortnite or any other kernel level anti cheat games. But yes, heroic it's great, I use it heavily 😁

[viscid elm]

MOAR aliexpress 10gig shit

[vapid smelt]

But why

temu is so much better

[viscid elm]

m yes

i am willing to go cheap but not THAT cheap

[lone zodiac]

I would pay more on aliexpress to avoid temu

[viscid elm]

tbf i also did it since bob was the one who got that switch tested it and made sure it worked as it should

[merry gull]

i go there for fun iot and potentially illegal tech, and that's where i get coloured RJ45 connectors :3

[viscid elm]

[hot palm]

Maybe it runs at like gigabit

[viscid elm]

[merry gull]

i found a pretty cute felony possession on aliexpress

[hot palm]

Doesn't tell me what it runs at

I know there's thunderbolt 3 to sfp+ docks but they're super super expensive

[uneven stirrup]

I rather watch YouTube then watch shorts but when I can’t find a YouTube vid I watch shorts…

[viscid elm]

at least the ai stuff is not THAT bad

[uneven stirrup]

Don’t say that…

it’s gonna get worse some how

it’s already degraded images

[hot palm]

Deleted it and I immediately started playing more games I wanted to play, talking to people more and might have found a partner if things go well

[uneven stirrup]

Look up a png of a dog.. it’s ai generated

[kind vine]

ppl fr be hating on AI for basic searches like this

[viscid elm]

xd

[viscid elm]

tbf its pretty shit in a lot of other things

[hot palm]

I hate this so much, it's really annoying to find good images now

[kind vine]

it will crap the bed when u ask it to make something or compare stuff

but basic overview is fine

[hot palm]

I wish there was an option for non AI results in image search to just permanently keep on

[uneven stirrup]

I accidentally used an ai png for our group project cause of it

It’s pissing me off…

Needed a png of a bank

this is just sad

[uneven stirrup]

Now I’m pissed off… how in the fuck???

[lone zodiac]

does swaring work with images? i know you can get google to remove its ai results that way

[uneven stirrup]

First result

[uneven stirrup]

Yeah but google won’t remove them

I see the ai images are mostly coming from those large websites with a bunch of pngs on them

They are trust worthy by google and pushed to the top of image searches

“Were”

It’s mostly pngtree

[lone zodiac]

you cant find an owl now. they are all AI

[grim belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-cat-cpr-funny-animals-cute-revive-gif-13712625

[uneven stirrup]

Wait really

[uneven stirrup]

All ai

[lone zodiac]

yep

real owls sure that will pop up but try finding cartoon art and its now imposable

[uneven stirrup]

I was about to say a certain website but they allow ai now…

[fallow saddle]

maybe its just bc you also have png in the search and many ai or stock foto's have that also as title

[uneven stirrup]

Starts with a D

[lone zodiac]

i didnt even search png about 8 months ago and the results were like this

[uneven stirrup]

But many people need pngs for projects and making videos

And it’s very common for people to search for pngs

[vapid smelt]

just make your own using ai 😆

[foggy heart]

.

[fallow saddle]

I always just search without the extension like png, and if its not png I convert it

[vapid smelt]

,

[uneven stirrup]

Hell no… that’s just no… why

Why do I have to subvert myself to that… I rather use the real dang thing lol

[fallow saddle]

but if you search without png wil it still be many ai images?

[uneven stirrup]

Correct

[fallow saddle]

and if its not a png you can always just convert the image to png

[hot palm]

Some people prefer not using slop

[uneven stirrup]

Nope…

Look

[hot palm]

Yeah it's really bad if you search cartoon

As that's an easier style for ai to replicate

[uneven stirrup]

Sad

I think it’s time…

I’m no longer using google lol

Nvm it’s an issue everywhere fuck

[hot palm]

I think we gotta kill the people making these

[uneven stirrup]

Firefox has the problem too

[uneven stirrup]

Real

[vapid smelt]

not for me

[marble estuary]

oh my gosh guys

what ever you do don't try and get domains with name.com

they commit so many crimes and their support is the worst support I've ever seen

They:

• Ignore things you ask repeatedly in emails
• Use Account Security and Privacy as an excuse instead of helping with anything account related
• Ignore most my emails as soon as they realised I was getting kinda angry at their nonsense

[restive lion]

Porkbun 👍

[marble estuary]

I actually don't know how they haven't been sued the hell out of

[grim belfry]

Porkbun is not an auDA accredited registrar

[shut lichen]

Cloudflare registrar for anything you can get through them, and namecheap or whoever to get whatever weird tlds you need

[restive lion]

That is perfectly fine

[marble estuary]

I've just read countless reviews of people saying they have do so many terrible thing slike take down domains for no reason then ghost the customers, charge people eve after they have disabled auto renewal etc

[grim belfry]

@marble estuary Use code FREEAU for a free .net.au/.com.au/.au/.id.au domain @ ventraip

[marble estuary]

I was trying to use name.com because with GitHub Student devloper pack they have an offer

[grim belfry]

They do not sell Australian domains and @marble estuary is Australian, I would say not fine

[marble estuary]

wait is this real

[grim belfry]

Yes

[marble estuary]

free for what a year?

[grim belfry]

Yes

Then you can transfer out or renew or whatever

[marble estuary]

Ill look into it right away

[restive lion]

Well I don't know what domains they're trying to buy, but the only places I'd ever recommend are cf and porkbun

[grim belfry]

https://ventraip.com.au/domain-giveaway/

Truly Australia's best registrar

[marble estuary]

what looks better:

kaijane.com.au OR kaijane.au

[grim belfry]

For .com.au you need an ABN

[marble estuary]

or does anyone have tips for making domains

oh

makes sense I guess

[grim belfry]

.au you just need to have an "Australian presence"

[marble estuary]

what should I make my domain

like I've never though about a good domain name

my current one is just firstmiddlelast.tech

its kinda long and doesnt really look too appealling

[grim belfry]

.tech has expensive renewals too iirc

[restive lion]

The less obscure it is the better, including tld

[marble estuary]

yeah i got it free with github

[restive lion]

my professional domain is just firstlast.com

[marble estuary]

but it runs out jun 7

[vapid smelt]

use code {we love gambling} for one free spin at the slot machine at Crown Melbourne

[marble estuary]

thats why I im getting another one

[restive lion]

My nonprofessional ones are all over the place lmao

[marble estuary]

I could do kaijane.au

it doesnt look bad so to speak

[restive lion]

If your target audience is solely au then yeah that's fine

[marble estuary]

it is tbh

[restive lion]

Then yeah stick to that

[grim belfry]

[marble estuary]

mostly use it for my wip portfolio and for minecraft servers for friends or really any server stuff

[restive lion]

I might buy more domains just for funsies

[marble estuary]

I like that domains arent too expensive

[restive lion]

I hate web dev so I don't run anything on most of their root domains but they serve their infra purposes well

[marble estuary]

real i suck at web dev

I would probably rather die than figure out stupid css and html layers and nonsense

[grim belfry]

It's a real bad habit of mine

Soooo many domains

[grim belfry]

[restive lion]

I know @cosmic copper has the same problem lol

[lone zodiac]

i got mine from namecheap then moved it over to cloudflare

[restive lion]

I just hate the technologies used in web dev

[marble estuary]

where is this 10 bucks coming from am I blind?

[restive lion]

Js is one of the stupidest "serious" languages I've ever seen

[grim belfry]

You need to add the FREEAU code at checkout

[marble estuary]

alright

Ok i send them my drivers license for eligibility nice

[grim belfry]

You can also just use 34 118 972 998 as the ABN

It's all automated anyway :p

[marble estuary]

You can?

[grim belfry]

That's Google's, sooo

[marble estuary]

What and they wouldnt care.....

seems a bit weird

[grim belfry]

It's just a bit of box ticking to keep .auDA happy

Or you can send through your license haha

[marble estuary]

yo they agve me two???

[grim belfry]

Yeah, in hopes you keep autorenew on, or start using the domain and realise you can't let it expire

[marble estuary]

yeah well i turnd auto renew off

hasnt asked for elegibility yet kinda weird all good though

No clue what I'll use the store for but yeah

also I heard a good place to trasnfer to is netlify anyone here used them?

because cloudflare is alright but kinda annoying for some stuff

[grim belfry]

Do you mean as a registrar or for DNS hosting

[marble estuary]

yeah

for dns records

page rules etc

all that stuff

[grim belfry]

Well I'm biased, but Cloudflare all the way

[marble estuary]

is that all you use

I'm assuming so

Don't see why anyone would want the pain of managing a bucnh of domains on diferenet registrars

[grim belfry]

Brrrr

[marble estuary]

uhhhh

bro how many do yo uhave

also they are all business is that the lowest above free

[grim belfry]

There is Pro before Business but I only have Business and Enterprise on them because we have a heap of leftover licenses on our contract at work

Free plan is incredibly generous, same with Workers and R2

[marble estuary]

aight they got my learners permit now yay

[opaque thorn]

You know I’m kinda surprised that Nintendo didn’t give us their “Nintendo selects” rereleases for the switch, then again I’m not surprised

[marble estuary]

Alright guys

I need help

One thing I have never understood is why windows is adding another period after hostname in the terminal

like wtf is this nonsense

I've looked into solutions so many times but nothing I tried worked in the past I swear

@grim belfry also do you think this referal thing would work even if my friend was using the FREEAU code

[grim belfry]

No they would have to buy a domain, even if it was a $2 one

[marble estuary]

right ok

makes sense

[hollow pilot]

That will suffice for a laptop too?

[oak pier]

yes

[hollow pilot]

Alright thanks

[vapid wharf]

Cinebench and 3Dmark for initial numbers, check with Aida64 for temperature

Furmark for actual stress test

[cosmic copper]

I wouldn’t call it a problem
I only have like 3 domains that I bought for a joke or just to have them

[solemn goblet]

I think I’m cured. The infection seems like it’s mostly gone. The antibiotics worked.

[vapid wharf]

Computex tomorrow

[solemn goblet]

I have to finish the course though

Some people make the mistake of stopping the antibiotics too early and then the infection comes back

[short hazel]

hey guys

does anyone here have an dell g15 ?

[oak pier]

(this is how we get superbugs)

[vapid wharf]

(because the cycle stopped abruptly and the leftover viruses would build immunity against it)

[solemn goblet]

Yep.

You do NOT want a superbug. I had it before and it was definitely hard to treat

Bacteria can mutate and adapt to antibiotics and that’s how they become superbugs. It’s basically survival of the fittest.

[solemn goblet]

MRSA is the superbug I did. There’s even VRSA now. So bacteria does keep adapting.

I wish there was a channel for 3D printing

I have no idea what 3D printer I just acquired

Ender 5 02? I look it up but none of the ones that come up look like mine

[viscid elm]

wow

[viscid elm]

and google lense is not showing anything?

[vapid wharf]

When the cheapest thing on display during GTC is 4k USD

[thorny eagle]

Ahah my phones camera is dead

[viscid elm]

how

[thorny eagle]

Shit phone

[viscid elm]

get a non that

[thorny eagle]

I am

[viscid elm]

nice

[thorny eagle]

Literally in a few minutes I'm buying a new Google Pixel 7

[viscid elm]

very nice

yeah do that and only use it for this one google lens moment and no more

[thorny eagle]

Sounds good to me

Hey guys is there anyway someone here can help me with cs2 performance issue? I have a decent system(ryzen 9 5900hx and 3060 laptop) and I can play every game comfortably but for cs2 on absolute low graphics too it lags a lot and fps are like 90 to 80ish. I would really like some help as I have played csgo alot and wanna play cs2 too but can't since release.

[glass zenith]

time for a little bit trolling

over anydesk

[versed forge]

did anyone else randomly get doom related profile items on steam??

[vapid wharf]

Cigarettes

[sage sun]

at 1080p?

[green wedge]

yes I hve reinstalled my windows as well as game many times. for example I can easily get 150 in apex at low settings and 100 in warzone 240 ish in valo but cs is the only one that struggles. my friend with ryzen 7 and 3050 gets 120 stable

[sage sun]

yeah im not really sure, cs2 is cpu intensive. but i cant even find any 9 5900hx benchmarks on youtube for cs2

[winged spire]

The new xiaomi looks like a porche SUV

[green wedge]

I just reinstalled it again , will benchmark it now at lowest setting plus 8x antialiasing

[winged spire]

Front and back are very porche-like imo

Looks good

[green wedge]

the cpu is quite decent like other that cs2 I havent find any other scenario where it struggles

[green wedge]

its the same

very laggy

[midnight pewter]

chat linus asked for my number

isnt that crazy

[midnight pumice]

Got my cash out to buy a new computer today 😶

A whole $4500. Hopefully it's worth it

[vapid wharf]

Savings?

[midnight pumice]

I have like 90k in savings now

[vapid wharf]

Nice

[midnight pumice]

It's been hovering around that point for a year but I've been able to still save $3000 a month outside of the normal bills. The only other major upcoming project would be redoing my deck, which will probably run 10k or so

[vapid wharf]

And people complain for not having dough...

Tsk. People these days.

[midnight pumice]

Yea, shit is more expensive though.

I've gone 8 years since I last upgraded my PC. Cost me $3300 at the time. I'm still getting out ahead though because adjusted for inflation, an equivalent priced PC would be like >$5000 today

I'm getting a $1100 discount on this PC + not having to pay sales tax

And it's my birthday today

[versed forge]

happy birthday

[midnight pumice]

So fuck it

[vapid wharf]

Happy birthday!

[midnight pumice]

Thanks

[vapid wharf]

Mine's like

9 years and going strong.

But I decided to upgrade the chip to Ryzen 3600 and that's it

[midnight pumice]

The 1080ti and Threadripper 1950x still carries its weight, although UE5 is kind of ass without an RTX card

[versed forge]

i last upgraded my pc around 2 years ago from a like

[vapid wharf]

Now I moved countries and live alone

[versed forge]

hp gaming laptop

[vapid wharf]

I'll be upgrading by building a new gaming PC

[midnight pumice]

Yea, that's essentially the only way to do it honestly

Unless your upgrading parts within the same generation, which doesn't make financial sense

I saw a shitload of people selling their 4090s for 5090s

Like wtf. You stream, there's no way you need a 5090

[vapid wharf]

And it would be fully AMD because, well, why not? Basically just a simple build really.

[midnight pumice]

It's a borderline bad financial decision that will set me back 1.5 months in terms of savings growth but I imagine FrameGen will absolutely stretch this GPU generation

[keen mural]

5 in one ass background

[midnight pumice]

I wouldn't. Every single person I know who has an AMD GPU says they will never buy an AMD GPU ever again

[vapid wharf]

9800X 3D, 128GB of memory, 4TB SSD, and 9070XT to top it all.

[midnight pumice]

If you're gaming*

[vapid wharf]

If you work for AMD, do you even have a choice?

[midnight pumice]

Do you? Damn lol. Get me a discount and I'll write a cuda port or something

[molten drift]

I cant stand that i have to tell people at my job that the number, 5 is not a letter, and they try to argue it with me in the context of a member id number,

[versed forge]

ok tbh without the windows 11 formation and the macos wallpaper i dig it

[vapid wharf]

I applied for their GPU compute SWE position

I got internal connections

And I also got some good stuff within Nvidia

[midnight pumice]

That's pretty cool. I've been playing around and vibe coding GPU stuff

Particularly webgpu so not necessarily applicable

But I'm more conventional full stack SWE

Golang, k8s, node, Graphql, React, TS

.net

[ocean fossil]

Hi could anyone help me out in the tech support channel please

[tardy flame]

help. my 1080 stutters so so much.

[vapid wharf]

I don't vibe code

[versed forge]

tbf it is an old card

[vapid wharf]

99% of my code is handwritten. The only thing I vibecode is some quick scripts

[midnight pumice]

I'm getting better about not just purely relying on it. I felt like I atrophied for a bit.

[vapid wharf]

The thing about vibe code is great if you're able to understand what it is doing

It automates my shit which is great

But most people don't.

[midnight pumice]

I do but I'll admit that I went through a period of time where I didn't have the effort I could put in mentally because of some personal shit going on in my life.

Ive gotten a lot better and cleaning up my shit and reading through it before pushing.

[vapid wharf]

I don't have effort since I am mostly doing this shit alone + got paid a bit

Since I am using frameworks which only some people has access to

[midnight pumice]

Yea, AI Kind of sucks for that and anything that isn't something small. I've recently limited myself to having AI recursively write and test point cloud algorithms

And I've actually found that to be pretty effective

As long as you have a known output, you can feed it back in and perfect the code

[vapid wharf]

Most people don't bother to refactor code like that

[midnight pumice]

When you're dealing with 80gb point cloud and lidar data sets, it's important to be as performant as you can.

And most of those are just fp calcs.

[vapid wharf]

This would be nightmare when not documented

[midnight pumice]

A lot of times it's just something like octree generation or meshing algorithms. Something that is externally testable and verifiable so readability doesn't need to be a priority, but it's not hard to read

[vapid wharf]

Its more on what type of fp

Unless if you're working with unified fp calcs

[midnight pumice]

Like poisson meshing, segmentation, etc.

I've only had maybe 3-4 good hours of playing around with webgpu

And I know there is some mismatch between the capabilities of webgpu and native gpu. I can't remember if you can't use a certain bit of floating points in webgpu that you can natively

I could be wrong but I've been wanting to dive into GPU stuff more. Now that ill have a 5090, I'll probably feel more pressed to play around with OpenGL and a few other things and learning more about GPU compute

[tardy flame]

no fix at all? even on repo it's going stutter every 5 seconds and on tf2 even though I'm getting 300 fps it stutters every 4 seconds

Maybe a mining virus wore it down? maybe I need to replace the paste ?

[austere shale]

I’m going to scream, over the past 2 weeks this piece of equipment has had constant ghost issues. Costing unironically tens of thousands of dollars in fried electrical components. THE NEW FLUX I GOT IS CONDUCTIVE at high voltages

“No clean” my ass bro

[winged spire]

dont cheap out lol

[austere shale]

It wasn’t cheap stuff 💀 shit was like $60

For 100 grams

[winged spire]

Did you get stuff rated for high voltage?

I bet there’s like an ISO standard or something

[hybrid echo]

you remind me of 50 shades of gray

it goes well🥺

[harsh quartz]

Hey OP, quick question. What the fuck does this mean?

[supple pawn]

Their implications are a tad concerning, I believe. Are they meaning to tell you that they wish to tie you up and do unspeakable things to you? Lol

[winged spire]

Maybe its the other way around

[supple pawn]

Wait wait, who wants to butter who's bread?

[harsh quartz]

The reference is still understood

[pallid falcon]

Warship wants to butter yours

[agile laurel]

LMFAO.
Earlier, I was considering switching back to Linux. I had previously been running Linux, but then a project required I use Davinci Resolve and I needed mp4 support... So I switched back to Windows.
-# I know its a sucky reason to switch.
So I grabbed a flash drive to flash Linux onto, and thats when Etcher told me I had another drive. Confused, I rebooted my pc and saw that I had Linux. Running on a drive. That I completely forgot about.

For over a year

Dont ask me how I completely forget about a drive.
-# Its happened before.
-# On multiple occasions.

No I know, but it doesnt support MP4 without paying for pro or whatever

I had not enough storage at the time, but yes, to import

Again, as I said, it was not a good reason to switch.

Yup. I could have.
