As expected

I opened the side panel 🥀🥀

[full fossil]

of the monitor?

[full fossil]

wtf

[sweet bison]

These intel integrated graphics Arnt ready for ram errors

[full fossil]

integrated graphics suck

[surreal spire]

Modern iGPU’s are pretty decent, you won’t be running high settings but you can run most games.

Yall I watched 464 LTT videos in one year

And that’s only on one account.

[full fossil]

idk if i trust that lol

[surreal spire]

I can play halo and Forza on my 13700hx iGPU

It’s not smooth, but it gets the job, i also have a dGPU so it’s not how I play.

[full fossil]

i prefer 120hz for forza, but i can handle 60

[surreal spire]

I like 144

[split swift]

I prefer 165hz for anything

[surreal spire]

But I also used to play at 20fps, so I have a very long range.

[surreal spire]

I prefer 300 for CAD.

[full fossil]

i meant like for integrated

for a high performer i prefer closer to 180hz

[surreal spire]

Anybody know when the Openpilot video part 2 is gonna release? if ever.

[alpine gale]

Welcome! I recommend checking local job boards and hiring fairs in your area. Hope you find the right opportunity for the right salary range.

[alpine gale]

You must have a role to post images or for embeds to work. See #welcome for details.

[smoky sundial]

its via messages

[terse cloud]

I think it’s through how much messages

[left abyss]

or that

[terse cloud]

I’ve been in this server for year so probably not time

[smoky sundial]

He’s been in the server for about the same time

[smoky sundial]

does he have more messages?

[jade plume]

Hey everyone, hope you'all are having a great weekend 🙏

[rustic tundra]

negative

im at 5k messages and no role

longer time in the server also

[civic fox]

its not, you link your forums account to discord to get it.

[smoky sundial]

oh

[wise totem]

hello guys

anybody know if tech stores occasionally give away old gear they no longer need.

planning on making a build for super basic tasks but fot as cheap as possible.

ideally just youtube and maybe light roblox games, for my sisters birthday.

[smoky sundial]

buy a used office pc and add a gtx 1050/1060 or rx 580

[wise totem]

how much do they cost, could replace it for my gtx 970 and chuck that in

[smoky sundial]

like anywhere from 10-500 cad

[wise totem]

500 yeah nah

that’s more than double the cost of my build

[smoky sundial]

for good ones

you can get some for like 30

just search up office pc on ebay / facebook

[rustic tundra]

some office pcs dont come with 6 or 8 pins for gpu

[smoky sundial]

welp it will still play roblox on igpus

[rustic tundra]

just put a 1650 or 3050 6g in it

theyre pcie power 90% of the time

[rustic tundra]

if you want a miserable time

i tried it like that on multiple pcs

even my uhd 770 cant do well

[smoky sundial]

it works fine on my friends thinkpad x250

[wise totem]

my main gpu is 4gb btw

[rustic tundra]

if youre playing on 1 graphics bar

[smoky sundial]

its 4 bar

[rustic tundra]

[smoky sundial]

but we use linux so its not fair

[wise totem]

i needs upgrade my ancient cpu

[rustic tundra]

how ancient

[wise totem]

uh standby

[rustic tundra]

[wise totem]

CPU: intel i5 4570
RAM: 16gb DDR3
PSU: Lianli 850 watt SSF
SSD: ADATA SU650, 512GB
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte ga-h87n-wifi
COOLER: Corsair 240 AIO water cooling
GPU: GTX970

[rustic tundra]

the 1650 is not so far off from the 970

my second pc uses the gddr6 version so thats like 10% behind the 970

[wise totem]

i’m at a cpu bottleneck, the 970 works perfectly fine for me. just needs put some money away for a new mobo, cpu and ddr4 ram lol

my current mobo can’t handle any cpu above 4 cores

[rustic tundra]

yeah no shit there was no more cores on that socket

[wise totem]

sorry lol

[rustic tundra]

the first socket to introduce support for more cores was 1151v2

they all did 4c at most before that

[wise totem]

how much would an upgrade cost for like 6 cores, ddr4 (assuming regular market) and then obviously a new mobo

maybe 8 cores idk…

[rustic tundra]

depends which cores

first 6 core on consumer intel was the 8400

or the first i7 extremes

[wise totem]

i’d ideally go amd, not sure how much more they are in terms of price to performance

[rustic tundra]

fx has 6/8 cores but they are fake cores and usually cheap as hell because well fx, they were shit from the start

you could try going am4

or just modern intel with ddr4

it makes more sense to go lga 1700 than am4 when it comes to ram pricing

you can put a 14900k with ddr4 and that would be a much better machine than some am4 bs like the 5900x

considering ddr5 prices are through the roof

[livid nest]

hi, can anyone help me with my AMD? it doesnt want to install, and when i install i cant open it

[polar oracle]

that rotary tool from the tech items video is so nice, i dont NEED it, but definetly a want for 3D printing

[oak cove]

[static perch]

all ram prices are like that

[flint fossil]

why is linus teeth so yellow

[hot tartan]

curry stained his brackets on his braces

[flint fossil]

brackets dont cover the entirety of the front teeth

[hot tartan]

🤷

braces hide a majority of the teeth

especially if it's some nasty color it's gonna be hard to ignore

[sweet bison]

Why not

[worldly plume]

Why yes

[sweet bison]

My old aio was failing and i had a few extra bucks to buy a really nice one

[worldly plume]

Yeah but why you need a screen on it i dont think many people will see that

[sweet bison]

Idki thought it was cool plus i got it for $70-100 off refurbished at memory express

[worldly plume]

My AIO was 60€

[sweet bison]

$290 cad 😬

[worldly plume]

My 60€ AIO is enough i think

[sweet bison]

My first aio was like $70 if i remember right and it wasn’t the best

Pump was going out after 2 years

I want my pc to be silent but some fuckass part of my motherboard gets to 105c after 20min if one of my fans isnt spinning a little

[fresh aurora]

Are there any programs worthy to use to interpret Windows logs and over pc health? From time to time my audio starts to glitch, and i wonder if this is overall pc issue or BT headset issue

[worldly plume]

Eh mine is 2 years old now and is running like a champ

it had 4.3 stars on amazon or smth

[worldly plume]

My PC cant even overheat rn

[sweet bison]

ion even know what the temp is for thats the problem

[worldly plume]

What

[worldly plume]

I dunno what my temps are rn

lemme check

[sweet bison]

might be a buggy temp sensor cus it seemed to get warmer when my pc was off

[worldly plume]

I dont have image perm

[static perch]

then redraw it with unicode

[worldly plume]

Anyways my CPU is at 55 C rn, my MB chipset at 44 C, my GPu at 76 C and my SSD at 58 C

Looks pretty stable

On the one hand, an AI could quickly find all of the possible edge cases and anomalies on its own which would help toward less buggy intial releases... BUT implementation and testing of its abilities compared to human testers would probably take awhile and most likely it may or may not be able to be as "creative" as human testers if it's too specific in what it's trying to look for...

[tardy terrace]

ddr4 prices aren't any better lmao

[pastel totem]

I have 64 gigs already though

[tardy terrace]

ddr4 isn't even being produced anymore

Sooo you're wanting to downgrade why

[pastel totem]

Downgrade?

[tardy terrace]

why would you ever run ddr4 on a 14900k

@pastel marsh help

[pastel totem]

Temporary stop gap since I have 64gb ddr4 it's the fastest chip I can buy that supports. Ddr4 I know it's faster than a 5950x or 5800x 3D

If I could afford it I'd do an am5 upgrade

[tardy terrace]

so wait do you already have the 5800x?

[pastel totem]

Yeah

[tardy terrace]

Soooo, sell the ddr4 and buy ddr5

[valid haven]

very much this

[static perch]

do you really need more than a 5800x3d?

[tardy terrace]

wait doesn't 5 series do ddr4

[static perch]

5800x3d is am4 and uses ddr4 ram

[tardy terrace]

yeah just sell all that shit and buy am5+ddr5

[static perch]

sure am5 is faster but am4 is still fine with the 5800x3d

[gloomy hemlock]

fun fact

if you run some app that demands a big amunt of vram

and it spills to your already full ram

somehow windows manages to find additional 3gigs of ram

so all that bloat was not indeed required

also if you ever try running some high res minecraft texturepacks

if you unload some txt and load another one at the same time it still leaves them in the vram

and you have to restart

Hmm when does linus make a snowball fight?

[fossil frost]

been watching a tv show with my wife, the husband of a victim had a laptop, that made them LOOK guilty, even though they were not.. they first took the laptop to somebody who was tech literate to have the thing that made them look guilty, removed... they refused.. they then just took the laptop to the police and tried to explain themselves.. which initially backfired... i turned to my wife and said "why didnt he just throw the SSD into the river" she replied "i would have put a drill through the laptop its self, and then thrown the whole laptop into the river"... made me think how much i would overthink things if something went down

[severe marsh]

fyi if u live in Indiana, using ur desktop computer while driving is not illegal

just letting u know for those who wish to know

oh nor is a laptop either

provided ur not using it for text messaging

[vapid smelt]

distracted driving is still a thing

[severe marsh]

yes indianas distracted driving laws only cover the definition of handheld telecommunications devices

oh and the communications laws dont apply at all if ur vehicle weighs over 10.000lbs

now the laws that would be applicable would be failure to maintain control and a few other ones

[obsidian horizon]

holy inflation

[severe marsh]

and driving while distracted is still applicable if it leads to unsafe operation of a vehicle

(now this is all hypothetical, and for fun)

[obsidian horizon]

you should not be distracted while drivingn at all...

ignore typos

[severe marsh]

(i do not recommend doing it at all regardless of the law)

[severe marsh]

yes my sentence above states that LMAO

[obsidian horizon]

sometimes you dont need laws

[severe marsh]

u shouldnt do it obv, but it is a funny to know

[obsidian horizon]

you need common sense

[obsidian horizon]

some people seriously need to know that

[severe marsh]

yeah true

some people would acc take what im saying seriously

and acc do it

[obsidian horizon]

one of my friend drove at 100 with phone in his hand for whole drive

[severe marsh]

like no, dont do it

[obsidian horizon]

never sat in his car ever again

[severe marsh]

im purely just shooting the shit, dont do that

theres a reason why laptops arent covered lol, which does make sense but its funny to know

now one thing i would find cool to do is to use a laptop for GPS etc

now thatd be pretty dope, but yk

youd prolly need to add GPS to it

[vapid smelt]

still is

[wraith spruce]

did yall see that epic games is gonna add it so you can play games on your phone

[severe marsh]

couldnt u alr do that

[severe marsh]

hmm true lmaooo

[alpine gale]

The most ironic part about distracted driving laws is the fact that we still allow advertising on roadways.

[severe marsh]

BUT this isnt an IC law, this is just stating what distracted driving is

[alpine gale]

If I cannot tap "Answer Call" to take a Bluetooth call on my phone, there should be ZERO roadside advertising.

[severe marsh]

am i surprised there isnt an IC statute banning distracted driving, yes, but the only current laws in the actual books only relate to telecommunications device

so while the state departments own website states that distracted driving is "unsafe" they have no specific law outlining its prohibited which is ironic.

and disappointing aswell

wanna know even crazier the 2024 amendment further restricts the definition of what the law covers

its further clarified that it only applies to devices intended for handheld use

IN Code § 9-13-2-177.3 (2024)

(im sharing this bc im shocked lmao)

not that anyone should do this at all

i mean tbf if ur stupid, ur still gonna get a far worse charge of reckless driving

so its not that bad, but i just found it funny

ChromeOS is linux, its Gentoo Linux to be precise.. Its Gentoo Linux with Google branding and locked down, because that was w hat google wanted/needed for what they were selling, and they were selling a specific product to fill a specific niche, not a generalised computer, they were selling something for kids to do their homework on, they were selling something for tech illiterate people to browse the web on, because that's all most people do. ewaste is hardware, the software isnt waste, it cant be waste, its software.. the hardware you have, now has a different OS on it, so again, isnt waste.

Hello. Long time viewer, new to the server. Longtime PC Gamer and also have a small podcast about retro gaming (mostly console gaming since thats what I had growing up, but theres a few PC games here and there that get covered too)

[zealous barn]

So I did a repaste and repad and when gaming the temps increased more than before, I open it up to see what’s the issue and this is the thing I see

the closest pad still has plastic on it

the pad that goes onto the memories

[supple pawn]

Seems like the paste distribution is not great either? Are the pads the correct thickness?

[plain gale]

yeah that gpu wasnt making contact as it should 100%

[zealous barn]

If possible I would have taken the 0.75 but they only they had is 1mm

[zealous barn]

I mean it could have been because the one pad still had plastic on it no ?

[oak pier]

no, not thick enough to justify that extreme lack of contact

the cooler looked to be 2-3mm away from even touching the die, let alone putting enough pressure on it

something is too thick, and/or you didn’t screw far enough

[zealous barn]

Welp we will see now I guess.

This the side profile rn

And this the inside

Now all the pads look quite pressed to the memory chips too

[zealous barn]

nvm i guess

its crazy how 0.25mm can cause such difference

[coral jacinth]

That’s rough

[stark idol]

Finished upgrading my cpus
From 2x 2650 v2 to 2x 2697 v2
16 c 32t total to 24c 48t

[zealous barn]

under full load tho

[coral jacinth]

78 fps

That’s similar to a laptop 3060 with a 80w tdp

[zealous barn]

what could be the reason for that?

I mean its also on 1440p

[coral jacinth]

That’s what it got at 1440p aswell

Do a 1080p test, should be above 100fps

[zealous barn]

a 3060ti got 133 fps on it, considering its 30 prcnt faster I guess the 3060 could do a 100

we shall see

[coral jacinth]

The laptop 3060 I tested about a month back for work got 100 flat

[zealous barn]

so it got this...

the max temp seems HUGE tho

but ig it aint

[coral jacinth]

That’s still what I’d expect it to be

[graceful mortar]

"My question: How does cloud-based collaboration in Google Workspace compare to

how did i get assigned this for my final project which is a 15 slide power point 💀

[coral jacinth]

Looking at the leaderboards surprisingly the desktop 3060 and higher tdp laptop variants are super close

[zealous barn]

so ur saying its normal if I understand correctly ?

[coral jacinth]

Yeah for both resolutions that’s my bad

I figured it’d be atleast 85fps at 1440p and 115fps on 1080p

[zealous barn]

still something is off I feel like, maybe when I change the pads from 1mm to 0.5 it could get better cooling and also perchance better fps

[coral jacinth]

The tempeture definitely seems extreme but doesn’t look to be throttling in the 60 seconds

it is funny how LTT had everyone at LMG use razer laptops and they all turned to shit but they never made a video about that.

im getting bored of it, i just wanna drive the cars and not grind for them

[graceful mortar]

they got them at a massive discount for the whole office as part of their WAN sponsership deal which showcased Razer Comms, all of their batteries bloated in less than a year (no warranty on sponsored products). and they were buggy, and were honestly dangerous. one survived sitting on teh roof in freshwater rain, for a short time at least.

[graceful mortar]

they did... it was discussed on WAN after Razer chose to not renew (i dont think LTT offered them the choice) teh sponsership.

[wraith spruce]

So, essentially, the reason they never made videos on the main channel critiquing Razer is because it was a conflict of interest...

[fossil dirge]

I just find Razer great because of their products and customer service is great from them

When my Razer Cobra and Kraken broke Razer was nice enough to replace them under warranty

My Razer Blade is also working very well for me

[wraith spruce]

is it the blade 16?

[fossil dirge]

Yes

[stark idol]

Ive only had one razer product and that was their kraken headphones, but they lasted me 6 years and still work amazingly

Their software is abysmal tho

[fossil dirge]

It’s actually working well for me and the performance is great it’s as reliable as the MacBook Pro

@wraith spruce If you want to get the Blade make sure you get it from the Razer Store and add the RazerCare warranty since I know that Razer Blade might break faster but Razer would be very nice to repair it for you

[wraith spruce]

the razer blades do look very nice, i like their design language

[wraith spruce]

lol, "RazerCare"

[fossil dirge]

I love their laptops

[wraith spruce]

sounds familiar...

[fossil dirge]

I know it does sound like AppleCare LOL

Anyways I don’t think you’re going to regret getting the Razer Blade it is a great laptop

Just like I said I have mines and I love it

[calm swan]

the 2023 or 2024 model (whichever one had 40 series) had socketed ram

really nice especially since asus moved away from their single socket ram in 2024

[graceful mortar]

no, just like what r u gonna say? we did a review based on first mpressions.. a few we got at a huge celebrity discount have bloated their batteries... also Razer how has a 2yr battery warranty. before that it was just 1 so it was "solved"

[wraith spruce]

im currently on an older alienware laptop and its been great, still runs most modern games at max graphics at least 60fps

[fossil dirge]

But I don’t think it’s worth upgrading the RAM anymore because they’re getting very expensive especially with what’s going on with AI so I think it doesn’t matter anymore if the RAM is soldered or not on the Razer Blade

[fossil dirge]

Alienware makes great laptops too they gotten a lot better over the years especially from Dell especially with their other computers like the XPS and Inspirion

I’m actually going to plan to get an Alienware for my sister since I’m going to get it at Micro Center. It’s a Christmas present for her

i will say Lunar lake i better than the stats imply (looks like nasty old useless Atom on paper) because that insane on package memory speeds. no BS, I was playing BorderLands 4 on its iGPU ..... that SHOULDNT be possible!

been sampling Geforce now and its bad, mainly because our local ISP prefer dynamically adjusting band width so teh server tries to use the 150mbps it last has, but isp dropped to 25mbps.

also 60ms ping isnt amazing

[graceful mortar]

ahh, idk. my wheels didnt have ffb,

[fossil dirge]

I like when you can replace RAM but now buying RAM is more expensive because of AI so it’s not worth it I don’t care anymore if the RAM is soldered or not since it’s now too expensive to replace RAM these days

[calm swan]

yes it makes sense for stuff like lunar and panther lake

for a gaming system with a dgpu though i see no reason to have soldered memory 🤷‍♂️

[fossil dirge]

RAM is still expensive

I understand, hmm how much longer will you NEED a dGPU? With iGPU getting crazy powerful, and With most dGPU adding $2k to a laptops price, and GFN. Starting to make less and less sense to put your hard earned $$ down.

[fossil dirge]

Not worth upgrading RAM though these days if it’s going to be very expensive to upgrade

[calm swan]

for now at least

[fossil dirge]

Idk why ASUS, Razer, and other laptop manufacturers solder the RAM I don’t think Dell solders the RAM on their laptops especially Alienware

[calm swan]

asus does

razer does on the blade 14 2025

literally everyone does lol

[fossil dirge]

Pretty much they all solder the memory Lol

[winged spire]

I really like my Alienware m16 r2

I got half off retail with an employee discount 😎

[fossil dirge]

Alienware is great just like I said earlier I’m going to get one for my sister for Christmas

[calm swan]

alienwares only has soldered ram on the x14 i believe

[fossil dirge]

I’m getting it at Micro Center

[graceful mortar]

It's really not that $$. Just been sold at low profit for a while due to excess supply, now we have transitioned directly to "shortage"
(Actually mostly speculation at this point, been that way in the economy since Covid shortages showed people don't value their money anymore, and no longer correlate prices to hour of work to earn the product)

[fossil dirge]

That is definitely understandable and you have a reason for that

[graceful mortar]

3-4 years. That's how long they take to increase supply. Always been that way with Flash. Will be interesting.. as that would align with when ddr5 is expected to come which will increase the price per GB massively again.

[fossil dirge]

That is awesome that you got at an employee discount

Did you ordered it directly from Dell?

[summer folio]

RAM is cheap, I member paying like 160$ for 4GB KingMax 1066Mhz DDR2

[graceful mortar]

And this was the cheap kit.

[vapid smelt]

3 dimms?!

[graceful mortar]

I do miss when HEDT was priced like this ... Not $7k 🤦

[graceful mortar]

You know it! Triple channel baby!

[summer folio]

n00b intel 3 ram channel platform bet

uneven, disgusting

[fossil dirge]

That’s what I now realize RAM is still cheap

[summer folio]

yeah, I think so

still bought 32GB for like 50$ last black friday though

[fossil dirge]

Nice

[graceful mortar]

Or u know reasonable prices for the BEST gaming GPU offered ... $770 today....

[graceful mortar]

Lol 6 slots

[summer folio]

just install 32-bit Windows & dont even need more than 4GB RAM

[fossil dirge]

That can work

[graceful mortar]

Now they are "priced" @ $1,999 .. but actually $3,000-$4,000 ....

Same class of card ....

[gilded quest]

Over 150% inflation since then, dies are a lot bigger, wafers are significantly more expensive, modern boards have stricter signaling requirements (more expensive)

[winged spire]

Yeah I paid like 960$ for it lol

[gilded quest]

Not saying that current HEDT isn't expensive, but we certainly wouldn't get something like that again

[winged spire]

4070, h155 or whatever intel calls it

1440p 240hz screen

Less than a 1000$ and I put 64gb of ram inside for like 150$

Those were the days lol

[fossil dirge]

Nice at least you got a great discount

[gilded quest]

Damn fermi dies were small

[graceful mortar]

Adjusted:
CPU $433
Motherboard $450

[fossil dirge]

I’m going to get my sister’s at Micro Center

[gilded quest]

Yeah but what we have today isn't really the same class

[fossil dirge]

I love Micro Center

[gilded quest]

The HEDT market is kind of lost

High core count CPU was introduced on consumer socket, while HEDT sockets leaned in favor of more profitable workstations

[winged spire]

Did yall see xiaomi’s plan for 2nm without EUV?

I’m no silicon engineer but that shit literally sounds impossible

[gilded quest]

Intel is rumored to be launching a 52 core CPU on consumer socket
P + E, but still an absolute monster

[winged spire]

https://patents.google.com/patent/CN119301758A/en?oq=CN2022097621

[gilded quest]

Septuple patterned DUV be like
(/s)

[gilded quest]

It may actually be impossible, or the yields will be absolute shit and it will be expensive as fuck

[winged spire]

That’s what my silicon friend says too

[gilded quest]

Intel did 10nm class with DUV only that was competitive (in density and performance) with 7nm EUV from TSMC

[gilded quest]

The current Chinese "5nm with DUV" is already cost prohibitive, heck even their 7nm class is likely also terrible yields

[winged spire]

If any CCP agents here want EUV, transfer me like 2 billion and I’ll make it for you trust

[gilded quest]

And it took forever to come to market and had terrible yields at first
Even though current Intel 10nm has improved yields, it still uses SAQP and is quite expensive (although the cost is reduced over time as the tools pay for themselves)

[graceful mortar]

Nah, productivity increases over time reducing costs. We are firmly in a "because we can, and u r stupid enough to buy and not hold us accountable to the standards our prices (hours of labor worked) correlate to"

See modern cars that have gone full circle to 1960's and are mechanically totaled if they need a major repair over 100,000 miles. Not because low resale but because $20k is a legit component repair number now days ....

[gilded quest]

Have you seen how much silicon is in a thread ripped

Look, modern CPUs are more complicated products

[winged spire]

The day is finally over

I fucked my schedule up this quarter

Basically all my classes are on Monday and Wednesday’s

[gilded quest]

They wouldn't be the same price as something form 2008, but there is certainly an additional premium over what equivalent would be

[winged spire]

No classes on tues and Thursday which is nice

[fossil dirge]

Nice

[winged spire]

I got like a 10 hour day every Monday though

[graceful mortar]

Some money buys you more capabilities over time, yes. But these were much more $$ each to build than the new stuff (since these are literally server chips) there isn't a reason the same class is now a $2.5k CPU ..

[winged spire]

Depending on how long my labs go

[gilded quest]

I had engineering labs near daily and my business friends were done by 11am on Tuesdays and Thursdays 💀

[winged spire]

Monday is like 8 am to 5:50 assuming the labs go to their full time

[graceful mortar]

I just didn't like the lack of PCI expansion, as that could add 3-5 years life to an older system via add in cards ... Now having 4 slots but having to run them all at 4x on a $1k CPU is acceptable.

[gilded quest]

What consumer CPU is currently $1000

[winged spire]

My business friends literally have coloring for homework it’s insane

They’ll be given a completed like P&E graph or smth and all they need to do is choose the colors to fill it in with

[worn shard]

you can buy mine for 1000

[bleak kite]

Why does the server have so many members

But general chat is so dead

[graceful mortar]

5950x was trading hands at $1k at launch. Really was the end of reasonable prices HEDT
Tr 1950x launch price was already pushing hard on the reasonable ceiling at $999.

[gilded quest]

Yeah launch pricing can suck as certain items go OOS and onto second hand reseller, but right now you can buy stuff like 9950x and 285k for < $500

[fossil frost]

5950x, at launch, in the UK at least, had plenty of stock and was selling for RRP

[silver sun]

687

[graceful mortar]

Very true. Because consumers have effectively no disposable income due to the affordability crisis in the USA caused by the USD losing .40 in buying power since 2019, wages not keeping up, and essential items pricing increasing .... Like u know $14 for a bottle of body wash.. and $9 for some damn deodorant .. oh and eggs still haven't come back down to $0.13 each ... Walmart STILL has black Friday products that's unheard-of.

The death by 1,000 cuts caused by the subscription life mindset has stretched budgets to the max, and the recent price hikes have broken them.

Highest repos since 2008 (tho repair affordability is part of this TBH, combined with lower reliability... at 60,000 miles it's used up but still being sold for $40k... On a 7 year loan @12% 💀)

US credit card debt at its highest level ever, and
bear in mind companies have absorbed 51% of the tarrifs, suppliers have been strong handed into accepting 9% and only 37% has been passed on to consumers.... This is ending soon as it's not sustainable.

K shape is a true problem. Hell at this point government assistance in USA is the equivalent of gross pay $142,414... (Mom with 4 kids) .. since household avg is only $92,000 for this size you can see the issue.
Govt assistance also caps rent at 30% of take home. For those that don't qualify, 26% have to spend over 50% take home on housing alone 👀. Those classified as under $30k per year it's a staggering 87% that have housing cost exceeding 50% of their income...

Here you need to earn $34.18/hr to not be excessively housing burdened... Avg renter makes $23.31/ hr 😭 or 30% less than the max to not be excessively burdened...

Ahh it turned into an essay 😭

[north escarp]

Idk much about all that but as a father of 4 kids Im barely making it

I make 21 an hour (15hr is minimum here) and work about 160-180hrs a month

[fossil frost]

"Here you need to earn $34.18/hr to not be excessively housing burdened... Avg renter makes $23.31/ hr 😭
or 30% less than the max to not be excessively burdened" <<< you assume that this isnt on purpose.. to keep people trapped into renting, trapped into renting from billionaire owned property companies, those same people who prop up people in government... its the way it is, on purpose

[graceful mortar]

Oregon (people in household is counted as anyone 15+)

Remember it's $25,000 -$33,000 on additional yearly expenses in Oregon PER CHILD... So there is $100k needed for them alone.

Anyways, 1 person (person being anyone 15+) - $40,683 - $19.56
2 person - $92,626 -$44.53

in oregano you need to earn $33.02 per hour to not be excessively burdened with housing costs. That's a 2bed rental.

You earn 30% below that. That doesn't consider the kid cost and what not. 👀 Damn bro u struggling hard. 👀

Government assistance here pays $142,414 a year for someone in your situation. That's $68.46 per hour. That's the "just squeezing by " income. You are making 70% below that minimum level.

[graceful mortar]

Ohh if you have some assistance my % numbers aren't accurate, as that is "net income" that need to be converted to Gross income to get your actual overall income.

[north escarp]

40,320 before tax about 34,000 after, for a year

[graceful mortar]

Okay ... It's more that consumers have forgotten how to vote with their wallets. When apartments got below 80% occupancy the company was 60-90 days from being insolvent. So they cut rates do "3 months for $399" promos, etc...

Now with these high as a kit prices they can survive just fine at 60% occupancy... So why would they lower the prices? (This also contributes to K shape, as just enough people can afford it to keep the rates high)

[north escarp]

But its rough no doubts

[fossil frost]

my neighbours had their prices bumped 3 times in 18 months. the guy across the road is moving to australia.. they have decided to buy his house, the mortgage they will start to pay next month, is less than their rent.. just about over half of what their rent was.. for a bigger house

[north escarp]

Anyways back to masking my pain behind pepe

[graceful mortar]

Yeah, but you have to convert the government assistance into gross income and add that to your earnings to get your actual income.

[north escarp]

[graceful mortar]

Yeah but 30% of that half will be the costs of ownership, so they still save 20%, but it's a locked in long term commitment, especially if houses lose 30% or more as most are hoping.

[fossil frost]

the problem is exactly what you have just written, and it started in the 80s.. houses being thought of an investment.. and not a place to live

i bought my house in 2008, i dont care that its potentially worth 3x what i bought it for.. i bought it to live in it

[graceful mortar]

Fair market rent for my zip code 1 bedroom. (Skewed by studios and micro studios (250sqft). Is $1560 😭.

That's 100+hr gross pay at the wage they pay in the area. The wage needed to not be destroyed is $30/hr ... Or double typical pay ...

(This zip is all "ghetto" small houses and ex motels converted to apartments, and old housing projects for the poor)

[fossil frost]

theres no such thing as fair market rent, only a made up number that has been slowly (or quickly) inflated to to the point where people are no longer willing to pay it, and then backed off a little.. and that maximum point is constantly reevaluated.. and its only ever going to go up, because people cant afford rent, and to save for a deposit, which is the whole point

[graceful mortar]

Nlihc.org/oor if you wanna see your zip

[fossil frost]

private renting is a system designed to stop individual people from buying their own home, because once you own your own home, you stop being caring about a lot of other things, once you know that at the very worst, no matter what happens, you will always at least have somewhere to live.. you sort of just stop caring about everything else.. because you realise it doesnt matter

[fossil frost]

i dont live in the USA, so i would be surprised if it had my postcode on there 🙂

[graceful mortar]

Fair market is another way of saying average with out claiming it's an average, and typically had the luxury $4k per month apartment removed from the data and focuses on more "normal reasonable person" rentals

The website was for everyone

[fossil frost]

i saw a post on reddit.. must have been 10 years ago... still remember it to this day... HUGE billboard in san fransisco... "new budget single room apartments, selling fast... starting price $1,000,000"... a million dollars for a single bedroom apartment.. i dont give a fuck where that apartment is.. no apartment is worth 1 million dollars
