yeah, they are "just" an engine manufacturer that used to be THE racing engine manufacturer, im surprised they exist as cosworth and havnt just been bought and absorbed

[dusky jacinth]

Which is interesting.

[fossil frost]

still shocks me that ford sold them

cosworth versions of ford cars were always sooo much better

[winged spire]

does ferarri have an EV yet?

or is this upcoming one goign to be the first

BEV

I dont think I trust Ferrari to make an EV that isnt ass

[supple pawn]

What about Lambo?

[winged spire]

is lambo working on one?

[supple pawn]

Or Porche

Idk

[winged spire]

Porche is the only legacy auto thats goated still

other than like rolls

[supple pawn]

Lamborghini's first fully electric model was expected to be the Lanzador, a 2+2 vehicle, it may not be fully electric and is currently delayed to 2029 at the earliest, potentially arriving as a plug-in hybrid instead

[dusky jacinth]

Porsche already has the Taycan and electric Macan. The former is most preferred.

They also are developing the next ev Boxter and Cayman, and on the back burner, they still have the Mission X.

... Whenever they decided to go through with that one, I guess.

The thing does look insane though.

[solemn goblet]

Damn that looks nice

this is the motor I was talking about

they just havent done anything with it afaik

800 hp, 1250 Nm

[fossil frost]

really? because porsche are mostly just Audis with slightly fancier panels

[iron blaze]

guys i just found 20 eur in a box

that's enough for me to buy that gpu for the imac

yay

[polar fern]

[near lotus]

Hello

[winged spire]

bruh

im so sick of anti nuclear idiots

cannot wait for all the anti nuclear boomers to die off 💀

[fossil frost]

being anti-nuclear is like being anti fire, because you burned yourself once.. so now nobody is allowed to use fire because you, one idiot, burned yourself.. once

[winged spire]

the lession from chernobyl isnt "nuclear is dangerous" its that "communists are too fucking stupid to boil water"

[fossil frost]

i think the real lesson is "dont employ mavericks who think they know better than the system they work within"

chernobyl was the result of 2-3 people thinking they know better than everyone else, and the system, and being convinced they can do no wrong themselves

[winged spire]

the RBMK reactor design was critically flawed and actively covered up more than a decade before Chernobyl happened

[fossil frost]

even still.. a normal person, when going through a reactor blowing up... does not react with "no, it didnt.. it cant".. they dont then go and look at the blown up reactor... and continue to say "no... its not blown up, it cant"

[winged spire]

it shouldnt have happened in the first place

communists are too stupid to boil water

[fossil frost]

"lets turn off all the safety systems, and then once we have done that, and have no visibility over any of our systems... lets push the reactor beyond its operating capacity to see what happens"

"lets remove all of our body armor, and shoot ourselves... to see what happens"

[winged spire]

in an RBMK reactor the tips of the control rods were graphite, and when the core has a positive void coefficent reinserting them caused a rapid spike in pressure generating steam (displacing water which absorbs neutrons) which in turn generates more steam which then displaces more water and so on

[alpine gale]

Same with the PORV's at Three Mile Island. The manufacturer knew their design could cause confusion among plant operators but opted not to do anything about it because that would 1) admit they designed them wrong and 2) cost them money.

[winged spire]

Fukashima had their backup generators in the fucking basement

like bruh

how do you design a reactor to survive tsunamis and not think to put the backup generators above the floodline

[fossil frost]

its almost like nuclear isnt dangerous... its STUPIDITY that is dangerous

[alpine gale]

Yup. Piss poor design. It's both hilarious and disappointing to think that the large majority of human made disasters were completely avoidable if humans weren't power hungry greedy penny pinchers. 🤷

[winged spire]

dont make the first section of your "stop reaction" rods out of a material that does the opposite lol

[fossil frost]

the nail in the nuclear coffin was oil and gas companies pushing the "nuclear bad" propaganda after each of these things too

[alpine gale]

"oh de sea water will cool the reactors" - um what? No. Full stop. Making SALTY sea water boil will contribute to the problem.

[fossil frost]

"but but but... nuclear produces nuclear waste" "yep, so does coal... more so than nuclear power does"

[winged spire]

The soviets were told about the issue with the graphite tips nearly 15 years before

and they LITERALLY ripped the pages out of the books to hide the flaw

KGB or whatever

[fossil frost]

"off to jail for you"

"you make good design? jail" "you make bad design? jail" "you point out flaw in design that would prevent a lot of death? yep, also jail"

[slow vine]

i saw this post that was talking about molten salt reactors and someone commented "have you played fallout? yeah no thank you" when fallout is about a nuclear war due to lack of fossil fuels\

[solemn goblet]

Nuclear fusion >> nuclear fission

[winged spire]

no

[solemn goblet]

Unfortunately nuclear fusion is a pipe dream at the moment

[winged spire]

one actually works

[fossil frost]

"have you played the historically accurate documentary... fallout" "no, but i have played the sci fi work of ENTERTAINMENT.. fallout"

[winged spire]

we aint seeing fusion in our lifetimes

[solemn goblet]

Yeah. Nuclear fission is the best we got

[winged spire]

solar power is fusion power

[fossil frost]

we will see the start of fusion in our lifetimes, but not its industrial scale deployment

[solemn goblet]

Can you imagine how much energy is created by fusion in space

If we had that on earth…

[winged spire]

it already is a thing

several labs have generated more power than input

but its over like.. 2 minutes

[fossil frost]

i will consider it "a thing" when it continuously generates more energy than it requires.. right now, a one off pulse of energy, every few days, doesnt count

[solemn goblet]

Agreed

[winged spire]

we could do with a source of helium too

[fossil frost]

even if its 1% more than it requires, and its continuous, ill accept that as "a thing"

[fossil frost]

helium scarcity is similar to oil scarcity... theres fucking loads of it, but you need to say its running out every few years to jack the price up, to make it worth going after the slightly harder places to get it from

[winged spire]

You cant store helium either

not long term

helium is too small and it will just sorta decide to leave whatever contianer you put it in

[fossil frost]

thats hydrogen

[winged spire]

its both

helium is 2, hydrogen is 1

[fossil frost]

helium can be stored long term, at high pressure

[hasty widget]

your telling me those people fear mongering helium scarcity are overplaying it

[fossil frost]

yep

[winged spire]

They store helium in giant porus "aquifers" of rock

[hasty widget]

shiiiiiiit

[winged spire]

it has the exact same issues as hydrogen

other then being flammable I guess

[hasty widget]

so that means i can have more funny balloons that fly up in the sky

[solemn goblet]

It’s incredible how hot plasma is in nuclear fusion though

[fossil frost]

its incredible how "hot" is just stuff moving faster

[solemn goblet]

Yep

[tawny wharf]

I bought a rx9070

Rx9070xt

I have money saved up too I did pay interest but only cuz I don't have all the money right away

So I picked the Lowest interest plan possible

I just wanna play battlefield 6 on high settings

With high fps

I have 380 dollars saved up and I have my old GPU worth around 200 bucks it's a RTX 3060ti

So I think I'm in a good position to pay it off very quickly and enjoy my games at higher frame rates the only thing I don't like about the cards from what I've seen is that it uses more power compared to Nvidia Rtx 5070ti

I'm very excited if you can't tell

[winged spire]

@supple pawn Did I tell you how we ruined the CEO of solidwork's pants lol

we were invited to bring our car to solidworks world, and he wanted to sit in it..

we had just repainted it after our season to make it look good for solidworks world and it was not dry 💀

him and some other exec lady (she was VERY mad but he dgaf)

Yo chat I’m looking for a dead 4070 fe or a 4070fe shroud can someone help me find one?

[alpine gale]

eBay, Craigslist, FB Marketplace, Kijiji, Used.ca, etc.

[full fossil]

Ok i looked on eBay I’ll check on those other sites thank you!

[strange valley]

I accidentally bricked my mobo. Removing the cmos battery is impossible and my mobo has no bios reset button, or secondary bios backup. What should I do? Or am I forced to by a new mobo

[alpine gale]

What did you do to "brick" it?

[strange valley]

My mom installed a force shut down button at 10pm. And I was updating my bios at the same time

I didn’t look at the time

[alpine gale]

Oof. Yeah... hopefully your motherboard supports BIOS Flashback, or whatever your mobo manufacturer calls it. The thing where you can flash BIOS from a USB drive.

[strange valley]

Don’t think it has it

[strange valley]

Yea it doesn’t

[alpine gale]

Then the motherboard is likely unbootable. Pulling the CR2032 battery won't fix a corrupt / bad BIOS flash.

[strange valley]

It’s bootable it just doesn’t send signal to the monitor

Tomboys are better

[idle nymph]

okay hear me out 🤔

yeah no i agree

[vapid wharf]

?

[idle nymph]

i dont fw femboys

half of them are racist

or transphobic

[vapid smelt]

its normal to hate French people

[idle nymph]

no like racist racist not french racist

[vapid wharf]

I fw tomboys

[idle nymph]

i fw them too

[obsidian horizon]

thats not a reason to hate them

[stark idol]

I just set up cloudflare tunneling with a domain

And it’s amazing

[obsidian horizon]

i actually expect you to type in upsidedown english

[stark idol]

I no longer have to rely on discord 10 mb
I just upload the video to my server and send the link

[stark idol]

Ok

[obsidian horizon]

i want that as well honeslty

but i actually want my friend to connect to it

[stark idol]

I use fireshare

[obsidian horizon]

who is like thousands of kilometres away

[obsidian horizon]

he doesnt have pc btw, only phone so tell me something that can be used on both

[stark idol]

The distance shouldn’t matter

[obsidian horizon]

great

[stark idol]

Fireshare

[obsidian horizon]

alright

[stark idol]

You send the link in discord and the video embeds

[obsidian horizon]

hmmm

does it do any kind of compressing?

[stark idol]

No

[obsidian horizon]

great

whats the limit?

[stark idol]

Wdym

[obsidian horizon]

like any uploading limit?

[stark idol]

Well its hosted on your server

So no unless you want it

[obsidian horizon]

great

do i need seperate pc for that?

[stark idol]

Probably

[obsidian horizon]

hmmm

[stark idol]

Unless you can run it on a windows machine

Idk i run debian based truenas scale

[obsidian horizon]

does it use a lot of resources?

[stark idol]

I havent really looked at it yet

[obsidian horizon]

i have my old laptop lying around

but then i'll have to make it nas as well so that i can locally upload stuff to it and then share it to my friend

[obsidian horizon]

so can my friend connect to it anytime he wants as long as the system is up & running

[stark idol]

Yea

[obsidian horizon]

exactly what i wanted

[idle nymph]

it is ????

[stark idol]

And you have cloudflared tunneling set up

[obsidian horizon]

how so

[idle nymph]

fym someone being transphobic isnt a reason to hate them

[obsidian horizon]

are u trans?

[obsidian horizon]

we'll talk about this later, now i have to go for a bit

[idle nymph]

that's not the point.

[stark idol]

Ok

[idle nymph]

but yes

[obsidian horizon]

thats why

anyways

[idle nymph]

even if i wasnt trans i'd hate transphobic people.

[obsidian horizon]

well thats great

hating someone doesnt make them a bad person as a whole

but its personal choice

[idle nymph]

if you're transphobic you're a piece of shit man.

[obsidian horizon]

anyways lets move on from this convo

[idle nymph]

hating on people isnt a choice ?

[obsidian horizon]

shall we?

[idle nymph]

no no no man elaborate rq how hating trans people doesnt make them an asshole

i'd love to hear how hating on people is just a "personal choice"

[obsidian horizon]

because you hate someone because you dont like them or their choices personally

your hating transphobic people wont make me see them as bad person

[idle nymph]

💔

[obsidian horizon]

even tho im not transphobic

[idle nymph]

so you willingly just defend assholes then

[obsidian horizon]

why would i hate someone just because you hate them?

[idle nymph]

"why would i hate this transphobic person just because other people dislike them" maybe because if youre transphobic you're just a piece of shit overall ?

[obsidian horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/samsung-android-gif-26073782

[spiral hedge]

yo

Should I wait for 5070 Super or go for RX9070 XT help

[idle nymph]

yo angelo

[spiral hedge]

was pretty sure about buying rtx 5070 system next week but i saw its same price as 9070xt so i am lil bit in between

[uneven stirrup]

9070XT $599 vs unknown price of a 5070super also 9070XT oc’s pretty well and $599 ain’t bad and it’s around $599-$650ish

9070XT performs similar to a 5070ti and the 5070super will not perform similar to a 5070ti… so the 9070XT will still be faster in the long run

If you are thinking of doing anything blender based or ai based using cuda you may want to wait… but the 5070 super even at $549 maybe with 16gb is still a rough sell

[spiral hedge]

mosty for gaming, can use it for machine learning for later but rx9070xt will be enough for it i think

[uneven stirrup]

9070XT is a very powerful card for gaming, pair that with the newer cheaper 9700x3d (leaked current for less than $400 probably later this year)

Has the same die as the 9800x3d

[spiral hedge]

will pair it with r 5 7600 now

will save up for 9800x3d

[uneven stirrup]

Ok… umm you could buy a $80 ryzen chip

If you want to save up

It’s called the Ryzen 8400f

[spiral hedge]

im not in us so prices differ

[uneven stirrup]

Oh!

[spiral hedge]

for example rtx 5070 is more expensive here in turkey from 9070xt

except 2-3 models

[uneven stirrup]

don’t get the 5070… it’s a good card but not for that price maybe if it was like $399-449…

[spiral hedge]

yes

[uneven stirrup]

9800x3d is solid though

Especially in those 3rd person shooters

[spiral hedge]

what if i buy a second hand 3070 or sth and go for cpu LoL

[uneven stirrup]

Most games run heavily on the cpu like games like Fortnite, Minecraft, Csgo. They don’t require a lot of gpu power. So a fast cpu normally means more fps

[spiral hedge]

yes most comp games rely on cpu

[uneven stirrup]

Eh, again I’d give the 3070 about another 5ish years it has the same power as a 2080ti

Only 8gb of vram

[spiral hedge]

i only had laptops to today.

have 4050 rn

[uneven stirrup]

3070 was what NVIDIA tried to make the 5070 look like but it wasn’t…

[spiral hedge]

need full desktop experience

[uneven stirrup]

Not bad… any fps stuttering issues?

[spiral hedge]

not at all

[uneven stirrup]

Nice

[spiral hedge]

i am using it like desktop tho

had my external monitor e.t.c

[uneven stirrup]

I got myself a laptop with 8gb of vram and I was set

[spiral hedge]

its 6 gb :(

[uneven stirrup]

:(

[spiral hedge]

Was playing Throne and Liberty and that was a mess

[uneven stirrup]

Yeah…

[spiral hedge]

20 fps low setting all things on

in fights

[uneven stirrup]

8gb is the sweet spot for laptops and entry level desktop in 2025… but the medium to high end it’s 12-16

Even the 5070 mobile only has 8gb

[civic fox]

discord be using a lot of gpu power to stream lool

[spiral hedge]

5070's 12 gb will be a limiting factor in 2-3 years i think

[uneven stirrup]

12gb is good… just annoying how limiting NVIDIA is being with us

[spiral hedge]

ye bro

if you can do 5070 super with 18 gb at same price do it now

like wth

[uneven stirrup]

I had my bf get the 9060XT 16gb so he would avoid the 5070… and it does run faster than it surprisingly enough at only $389ish

Not faster well it’s not faster

[spiral hedge]

9060xt is %40 lower then 9070xt

maybe i can go for that and get 98003d

[uneven stirrup]

Yeah but it can def overclock

One day we’ll have a 5090 priced at a reasonable price maybe that will be a RTX 6070? Who knows

But the 6070 probably have 16gb smh

I also feel NVIDIA will be gate keeping newer hardware to consumers

Also rumors of amd cooking for Radeon 10000

[spiral hedge]

heard about intel cpus will have built in rtx features

havent researched it tho

[uneven stirrup]

I think thats neat but like… they are so much like a monopoly rn…

[spiral hedge]

ceo cousins

amd always coming 0.5 gen behind in technology, its all planned i think

nvidia trying to be more focused on ai making amd a brand for gamers

[uneven stirrup]

Nah…

[spiral hedge]

imo

[uneven stirrup]

Amd does actually try to undercut NVIDIA when it counts at least in the past

The 6950XTX was indeed faster than the 3090 before the 3090ti was launched

Amds first $999 card (in a while ofc)

Probably had a $999 card in like early 2000s

[spiral hedge]

i am new to computer stuff. started researching after i graduated and got a job

[uneven stirrup]

Personally think amd should of sticked it to the man and made the 9090XTX

Priced at like $1499

[echo sluice]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1288039017996357653/1288040840262058075/togif.gif

would anyone even buy that

[uneven stirrup]

If it’s hitting 5090 level of performance probably yes

Especially since people love their ai so much

[spiral hedge]

so

[fluid grotto]

hii

[spiral hedge]

@uneven stirrup what is the cheapest mainboard you recommend for my build ?

[uneven stirrup]

You can get a temp gpu like a 1650 and a 9800x3d

[spiral hedge]

cheapest is MSI Pro A620M-E AMD A620 AM5 Soket DDR5 6000(OC)MHz mATX Anakart

[uneven stirrup]

Don’t cheap out… made that mistake

[uneven stirrup]

Mistake

[spiral hedge]

if i dont i cant get it C:

[uneven stirrup]

Don’t do anything with a 20 in the name

A620 is for your like r5 7400f

No oc

You will only get the stock speed of your chip with that board

[spiral hedge]

can you recommend one ?

[uneven stirrup]

I would recommend at least B650 or a B850

850 is much better

Don’t get the $50 special on the 620

A620 here is about $49-59

Terrible choice…

[spiral hedge]

COLORFUL BATTLE-AX B850M-PLUS PRO WIFI V14 DDR5 7600MHz mATX AM5 Gaming

[uneven stirrup]

Good

[spiral hedge]

is dis gud

total is 1500 usd

[uneven stirrup]

B850 allows for pcie 5.0 which I made and caused some issues with my gpu…

[uneven stirrup]

Alright let’s try to get that down what chu got so far?

[spiral hedge]

ryzen 7 7800x3d

[uneven stirrup]

Good choice

[spiral hedge]

rx 90070xt

this main board

[uneven stirrup]

Also good choice how much is that

it’s $599 usd here

[spiral hedge]

its like 32000 try

its expensive

we have +tax

:C

[uneven stirrup]

Idk what that is

[spiral hedge]

its like 790

[uneven stirrup]

… damn bro

How much is the 5070ti?

[spiral hedge]

🚬

exact 1 k doler

[uneven stirrup]

what the shit

[spiral hedge]

41.299,27 atry

[uneven stirrup]

What about a 5090?

[spiral hedge]

it also hype inflated

it must be as same price as 9070xt

1 k more *

guea

[uneven stirrup]

The 5090 is 2k?

[spiral hedge]

guess it lol

ITS FREAKING 3.2 K

[uneven stirrup]

Damn

That’s too much

Eh nvm it’s looking like 3k rn

[spiral hedge]

but i think its because supply demand

[uneven stirrup]

Ai centers want them

They strip the board and use the chip

[spiral hedge]

i think they have their ways to smuggle cheaper

[uneven stirrup]

5090 is just a glorified h100 or h200 gpu

[spiral hedge]

and the bad thing is, i cant collect my pc parts as 1 because that way its more expensive, pre built systems or creating your own on a website is cheaper in Turkey because of deals

[uneven stirrup]

Interesting

How much is a prebuilt

[spiral hedge]

its like %10 cheaper

[uneven stirrup]

With like a 9070xt

$1400?

I mean $1500 isn’t bad for a 9070xt prebuilt

Just checked Best Buy

[spiral hedge]

ryzen 5 7500f with 620h is 1.2 - 1.3

[uneven stirrup]

Hell nah

We aren’t using a 620 board

If we are using a 620 board we might as well build it our self’s cause that board is $50

[spiral hedge]

1.5 with my preferences

[uneven stirrup]

Yeah no that 620 board is never worth… the board is cheaper than the ssd…

[spiral hedge]

maybe i need to take a week of, go to UAE or sth with cheap plane ticket and buy it from there

LoL

• free vacation

[uneven stirrup]

Yee

[uneven stirrup]

That’s like having a car that’s 200k and living in 80k house

[spiral hedge]

when i see the tax applied all my joy goes

[uneven stirrup]

But uh yeah tldr, 32gb of id say cl36 or lower 6000mhz ram, b850 (allows you to go up to a 9950x3d which is over kill but you know :3)

That board allows for pcie 5.0 so when the 7070Ti comes out you can upgrade to that

The board will support Ryzen 10 and 11 thousand

[copper inlet]

Thoughts on an 8600G as an server CPU

[uneven stirrup]

Pretty good keep in mind there are pcie lanes missing for the gpu built into the cpu

[copper inlet]

So theres like only 8 instead if 16?

[uneven stirrup]

For like a Minecraft or movie hosting server it’s not bad but you can probably find a better deal by using old gen with a old gen gpu

If want it because it’s Am5 sure

[uneven stirrup]

Let me check

[copper inlet]

I got the 8600G because of the efficiency, its gonna be Backup / Storage / Multimedia with 2 VMs

[uneven stirrup]

The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G has a total of 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes from the CPU, but only 16 usable

[spiral hedge]

i think i ball it all and will make a 1.6 k system

[uneven stirrup]

It’s good I mean if you ever want to have a sleeper server in like 3 years you can put a 9800x3d and a gpu in it…

[spiral hedge]

i have 600 dolar cash and will pay it in 3 months with no interest

[copper inlet]

I bought an asrock Board so im gonna take distance from X3D CPUs

[spiral hedge]

so 333 a month

[uneven stirrup]

Which one

[copper inlet]

I wont use an gpu anyway, perhaps for encoding, but the 8600G should be good enough

[copper inlet]

https://geizhals.de/wishlists/4675083

[uneven stirrup]

Depends on what ur doing

[uneven stirrup]

I’ve heard of that board no that board hasn’t had issues with 9800x3d it was only the x870 board that’s had issues

[spiral hedge]

is b650m also okay ? or should i go for b850 ?

[copper inlet]

Depends on your budget

[uneven stirrup]

How much is it saving

If it saves 10usd no

[spiral hedge]

like 100 bucks

[uneven stirrup]

Ok…. Now maybe

[spiral hedge]

its a lot
GIGABYTE B650M S2H 6400MHz(OC) DDR5

[copper inlet]

Okay, one issue is that basically no Board has enough Sata Ports, should i buy this thing?

https://geizhals.de/silverstone-ecs06-sst-ecs06-a2566773.html

[uneven stirrup]

Hmmm that board has less power lanes

But sure go head

[spiral hedge]

MSI PRO B650M-B 6800MHz(OC) DDR5

also is this same ?

[uneven stirrup]

Feels like a waste of money for just sata ports

[copper inlet]

Well, but i gotta connect my drives somehow

[uneven stirrup]

This one is a much cheaper board

Quality wise

[copper inlet]

You are US right?

[uneven stirrup]

No

[spiral hedge]

then the previous one ? GIGABYTE B650M S2H 6400MHz(OC) DDR

[copper inlet]

S2H are usualy very cheaped out

What country then

[spiral hedge]

Turkey

[copper inlet]

My condolences

[spiral hedge]

its tax heaven here

[uneven stirrup]

So that board has… 5+2+2 power phase… the worst B650 power phase board I’ve seen EVER

[copper inlet]

You dont happen to have relatives in germany do you, hardware is cheap there

[spiral hedge]

my friend is right here rn

Lol he is visiting his sister

[copper inlet]

Perhaps he can bring some along

[spiral hedge]

yes i told him to search

but i searches some prices online but its similiar

only 20-30 dollar diffrence a piece

so i dont know if its worth

[uneven stirrup]

They are both sub 10 power phase btw

The msi one has a higher power phase

[copper inlet]

Whats your Budget in Euro

[uneven stirrup]

I’ve always recommended 12 power phase

[spiral hedge]

so i will buy it with my credit card

can divide it to 3 months with 0 interest

[uneven stirrup]

But yeah I gotta get to bed

[spiral hedge]

before you go is this better ?

[copper inlet]

No

How much you wanna spend? New PC?

[spiral hedge]

most i can go for is 1.6 k

but 1 k of it should be on credit cart

so it must be local mostly, maybe 1 gpu + rams can come from germany

[copper inlet]

Ehhh, what sites do you use there

[spiral hedge]

[oak pier]

install your cooler correctly, or get a better cooler

[echo nymph]

Bro don’t use money to buy a cooler just use an ice pack

Or use the heat to cook your food

[oak pier]

"use an ice pack" is one of the worst pieces of advice i've heard in a while

[echo nymph]

Use your breath if you can’t afford ice jeez

Why is all the cool dead stock in Germany

Do Germans not like graphics cards

Like I’ve always wished for a gt 1030

Way better than the rtx 5090

[vivid kelp]

I don’t know what thermalright has put in their cleaning wipe but it works very good

Better then 99%

It does stink tho

[chrome crag]

X · Sep 29, 2025, 12:08 PM

[winged spire]

Can the fucking saudis stop buying all sports everywhere 💀

[harsh quartz]

“It plans to be acquired” is such a funny line to me idk why

I’m curious if this will have any changes in the monetization of games like the new battlefield

[winged spire]

Europe showed off a new cutting edge rocket

europe's space industry will forever be cooked lmao

wtf is that

[supple pawn]

I hope to gosh their buying all the sports somehow leads to the ruination of the sports culture. I'm so damn sick of hearing about football and all the other crap on the news as if these sports games mean anything.

[winged spire]

theyre ruining ALL sports

theyve even bought like all the drone racing leagues and shit

Aint nobody want to go to SA to see a drone race

[hearty spear]

[supple pawn]

Answer me this, what is the difference between a football fanatic showing up to a game wearing face paint, a jersey, a ridiculous foam finger/hat, etc. and a weeb dressing up as their favorite video game character for some convention?

[winged spire]

The football fan probably has friends and takes showers

[hearty spear]

One is jock socially acceptable and one is not

[winged spire]

😂

[slender lark]

starship but ugly

[slender lark]

one is serious
one isnt serious

[supple pawn]

Lol this is what I'm talking about. They are the same, but our society says being a fat, drunk slob is good so long as you allow their particular chosen game to consume your personality.

[slender lark]

[supple pawn]

Neither is serious. Theyre all just games, nothing more lol

[supple pawn]

I don't see that much difference in the types of people. One is fat, greasy neck beards who wish they could be their favorite video game character. The other is fat, drunk slobs who wish they could be their favorite sports game character.

It's all down to what society has deemed acceptable. I just wish society wasn't so damn illogical with such things.

[winged spire]

Sports games definitely smell better than anime conventions

Idk what else to say lol

[winged spire]

36m tall rocket in the big 2025 😭😭

Be so for real

[harsh quartz]

These extreme overgeneralization definitely aren’t helpful, but I will say, even as a nerd, I prefer going to a football game more than a anime convention

[supple pawn]

Eh, not me. I would prefer to do neither tbh. Give me a good museum, zoo, etc.

[harsh quartz]

And that’s fine, but saying everybody at A is x and everybody at B is y and they’re all terrible is just a horrible argument and kinda a sad worldview imo

[supple pawn]

A nice walk through a woodland trail would be nice

[supple pawn]

I see your point, I was over exaggerating to attempt to paint both as equally ridiculous.

My whole point was that viewing one as more socially acceptable than the other is foolish, but for some reason one is viewed as more socially acceptable.

[harsh quartz]

But they also both have merits. Some Cosplayers put a lot of time effort and energy into not only making a good cosplay but then going through the effort of keeping that appearance up through the conventions. And there’s plenty of sports fans who know everything about the game and are there to support the people they see as superstars, it’s not different than going to a concert for a particular band, but making the generalization that everybody at a concert is a druggy who’s only there to get high

[supple pawn]

Yeah, I get what youre staying. I wasn't trying to be serious with my generalizing, it was meant as facetious.

its not the engine test stand that blew up, its the full vehicle test stand

complete loss

[haughty delta]

spotify loss-less is out?

[winged spire]

yeah

[haughty delta]

idk why but I don't have it even tho I should have

[solemn goblet]

There’s roads being redone near me and fiber internet being installed too

Today is a great day

[solemn goblet]

I already have fiber optic internet but more neighbors are getting it

This is full fiber btw. Fiber straight to the home

[sage quiver]

It's on a gradual rollout

[haughty delta]

😩

I want ittttt

[solemn goblet]

I could get 2 gig symmetrical speeds but that’s so overkill

2,000 Mbps upload is a lot

[sage quiver]

It also likely isn't supported by your network infrastructure

[solemn goblet]

Yeah it is

[sage quiver]

Most of your devices are gonna have 1gig interfaces

[solemn goblet]

I have XGS-PON FTTH

ONT supports 2.5 gigabit Ethernet out.

I do need to upgrade the router though

[winged spire]

its so cringe

[sage quiver]

But do you have devices with 2.5g ethernet, or switches

[winged spire]

ive compained about this already but

[solemn goblet]

Ahhhh no. My laptop has 1 gig Ethernet

I would have to get an adapter

[winged spire]

the "auto" quality excludes lossless

[solemn goblet]

I have CAT6 Ethernet cable going to my laptop. Probably futureproofed

[winged spire]

so you have to either PICK lossless and only lossess even if your network cant support it

OR just not have lossless because the auto will never choose it

[sage quiver]

or just listen to regular quality on APM which sounds better

[winged spire]

let me have lossless when available???

My lawyer has advised me not to answer this. /s

[solemn goblet]

I hate Vyvanse tbh

[alpine gale]

Ah, that makes sense. I'm completely unmedicated / rawdogging it, so I actually use caffeine as a way to manage my AuDHD.

[hasty widget]

if i feel like it ill get some plain black coffeee but i dont actively take caffeine

[solemn goblet]

I used to take it for my ADHD. Gave me too many side effects

I lost weight because of Vyvanse. Got down to like 110 lbs at 5’7”

Made me underweight

[primal sonnet]

That's the main thing bothering me now

weight loss

[solemn goblet]

Vyvanse would ruin my appetite, speed up my metabolism and then I would crash in the afternoon

[solemn goblet]

Actually I already have an adapter

USB-C to Ethernet. 5 gigabit

My laptop has 40 gigabit USB-C

So atp I just need a better router/gateway

[vapid smelt]

None I take methylphenidate

The expensive extended release pill

$100 a bottle with no insurance

[alpine gale]

The better question is... Do you actually need 2.5gig speeds to a single device? Like it's nice to have but I can think of other things to spend money on. 🤣 No judgement; you do you. Just have to call it out cause lots of people don't need those speeds for client devices. Makes sense if you have a homelab though.

[solemn goblet]

Yeahhh

I’m gonna stick with 300 Mbps symmetrical or 500 Mbps symmetrical. Enough for me

[vapid smelt]

We pay for 250 symmetrical

[solemn goblet]

There is a new fiber ISP that’s gonna enter the city with their own full fiber network. Same speeds but much cheaper prices

I think their 2 gigabit symmetrical is like $65 a month starting. For my ISP it’s $150 a month for 2 gig symmetrical

Also no contracts and even free $100 gift card if you do paperless billing on the higher speed plans

[vapid smelt]

I can get 10 symmetrical for $150

[solemn goblet]

Wowww that’s great

I have yet to see an ISP here offer 5 gigabit, 8 gigabit or even 10 gigabit

The fiber network can easily be upgraded to support those speeds

[primal sonnet]

vyvanse is more without insurance lol

[solemn goblet]

[worn shard]

Yeah so that's why i need a jacket

[sage quiver]

I'm a certified pullover hater

[alpine gale]

If you're just beginning your search, I recommend starting here so you can get an idea of what to look for when researching what you need in a jacket.
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-everyday-rain-jacket/

[worn shard]

Yeah i wad already looking at arc'teryx

[alpine gale]

Columbia makes some good stuff, as does Black Diamond and Arc'teryx. I have 2x Black Diamond jackets: one that's more for wind blocking and warmth (that repels rain, but not for a long time) and one that's a rain shell.

NOTE: all clothing that claims water repellency uses some variant of a DWR coating. This coating is more or less the same between vendors, and must be regularly re-applied to effectively repel water.

[worn shard]

No way an actual jacket expert showed up that's crazy

[supple coral]

Hi

[vapid smelt]

You must be bald

[worn shard]

So you think something like arc'teryx beta AR is warm enough for like -5°C

[alpine gale]

Not an expert... just someone whose life revolves around buying items from what I consider are in the "top 20% quality" of a given category because I absolutely loath disposable consumerism. I want to buy something that lasts, even if it costs double. _Though, as someone who lives in a consumerist society, I will of course look for sale prices.

[worn shard]

I do exactly the same

I LOVE quality items that last

[worn shard]

Wait i probably need the insulated jackets

[vapid smelt]

I saw a VW EV bus in the wild today in my rear view mirror

[alpine gale]

Depends on where you live / where you're travelling. As a forever West Coast'er, most of us prefer layering to having a single, fluffy / poofy jacket. Let's us manage body heat by layering down at the brewery / restaurant after hikes.

[sage quiver]

Brewery after hike sounds nice

[worn shard]

Netherlands

I travel through rain almost daily

[sage quiver]

Heaven.

[alpine gale]

Gotcha, then yeah, definitely look for options that provide greater water repellency. A rain shell (rather than jacket) is something lightweight but less breathable. Let's you wear regular hoodies / shirts / etc. underneath without making you feel bulky, and keeps the rain out. One's with armpit zips are more breathable.

[gilded quest]

Would

[vapid smelt]

That's some good looking bread

God I want it

Seems like there has been a major overhaul in privacy policy and terms of service

If we don’t safely deflate this whole “ai” bubble, we are cooked, chat.

Just imagine if all of this compute power was used for something actually good instead of fake ads.

[gilded quest]

waiting for the AI bubble to crash for cheap $NVDA

[polar fern]

They’re going to crash the power grid and then they’re going to crash the global economy

[gilded quest]

what do you honestly expect us here to do

[polar fern]

stop using ChatGPT for one

[gilded quest]

🦐

oops
i meant 🤷

but maybe i should use 🦐 as a reaction more often

[polar fern]

and I don’t obviously want to get into political stuff, but people can object to AI data centers being built and power plants being built just to power these things while the regular grid gets neglected.

https://apnews.com/article/trump-transportation-infrastructure-grants-hostile-cars-37495f299378ac0980a3dea5b450e004 no more new bike lanes for you

[polar fern]

Yeah, they have to pay for their bunker. I mean ballroom.

I don’t use bike lanes or bicycle infrastructure, but a lot of places could definitely use improvements in intersection safety, and path resurfacing and things along those lines even if nothing new is actually constructed

In a general sense, canceling infrastructure funding like that is just bad policy and it doesn’t actually help anyone.

One of the major things that infrastructure funding does is improve the quality of life for people, even if they don’t actually use that particular bike path or light rail line etc.

Cat sees what you are doing and judges

[winged spire]

lmao

thats not how power grids work

[west steeple]

Hi

[winged spire]

its not finite

[foggy falcon]

good evening

[abstract oxide]

Anyone got any recommendations for free racing games on steam?

[pallid falcon]

Good evening, 47.

[bright zenith]

Hi yall

[pallid falcon]

Hi

[restive lion]

Ye-yes it very much is

[winged spire]

it is not

[restive lion]

Why do you think Elon musk runs his sites on generators

It's not for fun

[winged spire]

power plants do not operate at 100% capacity

[restive lion]

Irrelevant?

[winged spire]

..

low capacity = lower power

[restive lion]

That just means they're not at max capacity, not that it's "not finite"

There is very much a limit, unlike what you have previously said

[winged spire]

do you think the power grid will not increase in capacity?

like what

[restive lion]

I am actually acutely aware that the power grids are not growing fast enough to meet projected demand

[winged spire]

you are arguing semantics, you need more capacity you build more

like literally every other time since we harnessed electricity

obviously a data center cant run off power that does not exist

[bright zenith]

I got muted on mathcord for a week because I called a non-binary person “bro” and I said “men are XY, women are XX. Then there’s other chromosomal abnormalities”

[restive lion]

Why are you bringing that here

[bright zenith]

No clue

I’m tired bored and my girlfriend is asleep

[restive lion]

Right, which makes the grid finite

[winged spire]

nope

you build more capacity

you seem to be under the impression that generating more power isnt possible?

[restive lion]

There is a limited amount of power available, you can't just pop a datacenter onto the grid and expect the magic faucet to just spill out electricity

Generating more power is absolutely possible, but that involves years of planning to build capacity and infrastructure that does not exist at the present. Which is the definition of finite

[winged spire]

so you dont think the grid capacity is increasing now

[restive lion]

If it were infinite I could pull however much I wanted out and it wouldn't matter. That is very much not the case.

[winged spire]

this is the least productive conversation ive ever had

[restive lion]

You have a lot of those

[winged spire]

you need more capacity you build more capacity

[winged spire]

and youve topped it

reddit mod level semantics

[restive lion]

Where's my trophy then

[winged spire]

you arent even engaging with the arguemnt you just want to argue about what finite means

[bright zenith]

I have no idea what yall are talking about

[restive lion]

"Wow someone called out the misinformation I posted on the internet"

[winged spire]

its all written out 🙏

[winged spire]

the grid is not finite

you need more capacity you build more capacity x6

[bright zenith]

I’m aware, it makes no sense

[winged spire]

its delusional to make your opinion on presumption thinking the grid is not rapidly growing

[restive lion]

Sorry that I have a basic understanding of the words being used

Anyways carry on with your misguided interpretations

[winged spire]

thank god

[bright zenith]

So…

[winged spire]

?

[bright zenith]

Idk

Do you like AMD?

[winged spire]

meh

[bright zenith]

More of an Intel person I assume?

[winged spire]

I choose whatever is the better option at the time

[bright zenith]

Fair enough

I like amd cuz I have amd stocks

[pallid falcon]

I go with whos less shit

[winged spire]

hi

[sharp lynx]

watched a vid from the WhaleLAN (wish i couldve gone, tickets sold out QUICK lol) and i never stopped to consider the idea of making a NES into a drive caddy with real functioning cartridges that hold whole OSes lol

I've got an iPhone 14 Pro and I'm thinking about upgrading! Do I need to upgrade it? I'm thinking about the iPhone 17 Pro Max!

[covert cradle]

What feature do you need from the new phone? The 14 Pro still has at least 4 more years of support left. tbh though, I haven't understood what matters about new phones for many years now. I just wait until there's no more security updates and then I finally move on

[echo sluice]

battery life

[echo nymph]

I like that

[echo sluice]

[covert cradle]

My last two phones have had greater than one day, which is sufficient to me. Not really sure about iphones but afaik they've had pretty incremental improvements

[golden nymph]

If you ever went to school with like no sleep you realize just how little you actually give a shit about school

[warped rover]

sus

[golden nymph]

Let's say i haven't slept tonight (other than a few minutes in class because i zoned out)

[warped rover]

i shouldve studied programming instead of quemical engineering

[golden nymph]

And uhh i was awake until 3am researching hackintosh and macos vms
And then gave up on sleep

[warped rover]

what

[golden nymph]

I need to compile a xcode project

[warped rover]

what is that

[golden nymph]

And my mac is like barely functionable

[warped rover]

sounds too complex for my little mind

[golden nymph]

Thingy that you need to build an ios app

I wanted to test an app that the dev only went as far as the xcode project and then gave me that because he doesn't have a mac to build with or an iPhone to test on
I technically have both but like the mac is very jank so i wanted to do something slightly less jank

I guess I'll have to suffer with 100% MacBook fans for a few hours

[warped rover]

is mac good for productivity?

i may need one for college

[covert cradle]

Highly dependent on what kind of productivity. Plenty of engineering software suites are Windows/Linux and/or x86_64 only

though linux VMs and rosetta you can get some things running, but getting linux x86_64 libs is pretty annoying

[warped rover]

well for next years i may need to design and model som things like molecules or smthn like that, oh and one teacher told us that we were going to see language codes

[warped rover]

sounds too complex for my little mind, i even struggle with windows

[golden nymph]

I mean yeah i guess

[covert cradle]

I doubt they'd expect you to be running that on your own hardware. Molecular modeling is server farm type shit

[golden nymph]

M1 air for around 400 usd

[obsidian horizon]

if you dont want to play games on it

[warped rover]

i mean, i have my pc for gaming, but idk if thats enough for the things i may need to do

[golden nymph]

Me who planted hidden word in a word document for school

[warped rover]

hmmmm

[golden nymph]

Also i plan to stop using the stupid school laptops we have to use for school work once i buy my own laptop (there technically is no policy against doing that so uhh why not)
Also I'd use libreoffice on linux and then send the file over school outlook to teacher

[golden nymph]

Which like the sending stuff to teacher via outlook bit is standard even currently using the O365 suite on school laptops

I mean i know the rules will probably be changed next year to disallow what i plan to do but uhh whatever

[golden nymph]

Ruin the fun for the rest of kids that hate school laptops (tbh the new thinkpads the school started getting now are pretty decent)

[warped rover]

i used to have a laptop

a thinkpad i think

it had an fx 8800p and an r7 and 8gb of ram

horrible performance

[golden nymph]

Oh wow, old

My desktop has integrated r7 graphics

They are fine, but not great

[warped rover]

oldie but goldie

[golden nymph]

Can run Minecraft (even with shaders)

[warped rover]

sounds good

[golden nymph]

But not at amazing fps

[warped rover]

the fx 8800p struggled a lot at cpu demanding games

it was a 2015 laptop i think

[golden nymph]

25fps with low end shaders, 50 without (can get 80 if i change some settings)

[golden nymph]

My cpu is from 2014

[warped rover]

is it an fx?

[warped rover]

fps ( frames per sometime)

[obsidian horizon]

hmmm

[golden nymph]

Nope, amd a8-7600

[golden nymph]

Nah, it's frames per second but i feel like the f3 menu gaslights me sometimes

[timber jasper]

Android has fallen

billions must linux phone

[zealous grail]

YOU GUYS GET THINKPADS?? well if it's not the e series then don't put ur data on it cuz the mobo will get fucked up a few months or mabye days later

Cuz there's too much plastic which makes the mobo flex when u pick it up

[zealous grail]

Yeah but how do I do that without pissing off my warranty

[golden nymph]

It's e series
E14 gen 6 amd
I plan to get a T14 gen 6 amd

[golden nymph]

The data is stored in the free 1tb Microsoft cloud provided by the school

[golden nymph]

Live in a country with decent consumer protection laws

[timber jasper]

warranty sucks anyway, its your device

[bright zenith]

Some thinkpads have 4090s and touch screens

[hasty widget]

Thats not a think pad anymore

Thats a introspectcushion

[bright zenith]

lol fr

[hasty widget]

The thinkpad i have for work is still somehow breathing

[summer folio]

[warped jay]

does a m.2 sata ssd gives any advantages than a normal sata ssd

[full fossil]

It's supposed to be faster
But I can't notice a difference really

[warped jay]

Wel duh, its sata
