Anyway to stream my phone to my 3ds?

I jailbroke it a while back and I kinda wanna use it to play psp games and my pc isnt with me atm

[alpine gale]

I haven't looked into DS/DSi/3DS modding in years, but I don't think Nintendo's portable consoles before their most recent 2x nVidia Tegra Tablet models have the processing power for streaming video...

[north escarp]

They do not/itd be a real bad time

[rocky knot]

Do the new consoles even have that power 😛

(Maybe the Switch 2)

[alpine gale]

Yes, absolutely. Even the Switch 1 - it's just an nVidia Tegra Tablet, after all.

[rocky knot]

In fairness most of my beef with the OG Switch (and OLED Switch) hardware is the god awful networking card

Display - Pretty good for its size. Processing power? Good enough for Mario.

But god that Wifi Card from 2014 makes me want to jump off a bridge.

[rare otter]

Yeah. Basically a glorified Amazon tablet lmao

[rocky knot]

I keep wanting to jump to the 2, but I rarely use my OLED as is.

[celest shell]

wierd question, i think at least, couple computers in the house, mine and hers, we have one in the living room, chrome web browser, 2 accounts, different book marks, she changes to firefox a while back on her pc got it all setup bookmarks ect the way she likes, she got a new laptop today, installs firefox on it, logs in, doesnt remember exactly what she did but she imported her bookmarks in inital setup, suddenly all of mine and hers from our chrome bookmarks are in her firefox. my current ones, and her older ones, i bring up the living room pc because it's the only one we both use and the only one that has 2 chrome profiles on it.... thought on how this happened/ways to remove only mine/fix her firefox without wiping out her bookmarks?

[pallid falcon]

Must have either accidently imported on setup

Does firefox have a way ti clear information in the last x hours/days?

[upbeat sail]

question for some of you

will an 8400f overheat if i use the am4 wraith prism cooler
im trying to kind of cheap out and reuse the cooler i didnt use when i had my old 3700x build. my brother is getting an 8400f so i was just curious

[brisk gyro]

Hi! New to the server, wanted to say hello.

[pallid falcon]

Hello toaster.

[rocky knot]

Its probably fine.

The default AMD Coolers work pretty well for most mid-tier processors. As long as your not super pushing it. I've been using the AMD Wraith Prism on my 5800XT with no issues.

[upbeat sail]

word

time to cheap out on bros computer then
time to buy a segotep psu and make people freak out

[rocky knot]

I mean, if you have issues you can always upgrade later, lol.

[rocky knot]

I uh....i mean they were 80+ Certified...i guess.

[upbeat sail]

i had to verify to make sure 😭

i miss when evga was good, i still use a 500w power supply they made

[rocky knot]

I mean they're still good last I checked

Tho I havent used them in a bit. All my PSUs are a mix of BeQuiet and Corsair.

[upbeat sail]

my very first power supply was a 550w evga power supply from like 2011

Do I buy Arc B580 or RX7600?

[devout pasture]

what happened to the animated server icon

damn this server is dead now

long time

[dusky jacinth]

Depends. Budget, use case, and/or expectations?

[tidal sonnet]

12890€ for 64gb ram 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tired glade]

And hardware store selling ram

[ruby flume]

usecase is basically minecraft, cyberpunk, supraland (indies basically) and Linux

I expect it to be better than current RX6600

[ruby flume]

Good price, price of only one kidney

[tired glade]

And only on pre order bases

[round bridge]

B580

[round bridge]

You have the 6600 now?

[ruby flume]

yass

[round bridge]

Save up for a meaningful upgrade

7600 is only about 20% better

[dusky jacinth]

Ah, which distro btw?

[ruby flume]

Arch

due to biggest repositories

[dusky jacinth]

Pure or one of it's forks?

[ruby flume]

Cachy rn, I'm rn in another phase of hopping

testing what others exist

[dusky jacinth]

Ah okay. I guess B580 would be worth it to try then while you be hopping and all.

[left halo]

This is cold

[tidal sonnet]

They kinda sell everything. But as with everything sometimes it's cheaper there sometimes in other places

[scarlet timber]

I wish the B580 wss available in my region.

The poorest countries are the ones not receiving the budget offers 😩

Same with the steam deck. Best thing for its price, specially at the time, and the 256gb lcd was found at $1000 here

I like citrusy wheatbeers

[fossil frost]

wheat based are good too, i had some at the bar in the works xmas party last week, cant remember what it was called. was.. strong

which ones you been on recently?

[sage quiver]

Nothing too exciting lately, mostly German beers I can't pronounce and... Guinness.

[fossil frost]

i cant drink Guinness, makes my stomach... unpleasant

[sage quiver]

Unfortunate

been to the factory a few times, had it straight from the factory tour.. as fresh as you can get it.. still disagreed with me

this incompetence has happened with the DoJ before, im surprised its happened again. should be fun to see what comes out of this

[elfin jetty]

Yuppp

And how strange, the media isnt saying a damn thing about it

Wonder why

[fossil frost]

its only just been noticed. a couple of hours ago

[elfin jetty]

Its been known since at least yesterday morning, at least when I first heard about it

Over 24 hours ago

[fossil frost]

ah, fair enough, i was told it was "a couple of hours"

legit media has to be careful, they will have lawyers involved. they will be trying to find out if reporting on it would be legal or not

Oh goddamnit

Discord needs to stop half scrolling

[wraith mist]

Wonder how long its gonna take before people realize pricing out the public from being able to buy hardware has been a plot so they can switch to cloud services and charge by the month. Then by the hour. Then by the minute. And have full control over media.

[fossil frost]

what do you mean "realise" everybody knows thats the reason why

[wraith mist]

Nah, there's a crowd of people who don't

[fossil frost]

data centres are willing to pay more, and if consumers cant pay, they will go to the cloud, enabling data centres to pay even more than they were willing to pay

[wraith mist]

I haven't heard of this, but i have seen people talking about the files themselves and a few of the things.
You know, I got tired of always being right about everything so I stopped tuning into the news.

I say companies bad. The masses say no. Turns out random thing was some scam. I said see. Too many incompetent reformist or boot lickers. I'm like Einstein stuck with cave men.

[wraith mist]

Bourgeoisie media selectively talking about what to report? What a kicker.

But seriously considering he threatens everyone who reports him. Are you surprised they've been quiet?

[winged spire]

When people say stuff like this it’s usually a sign that “everyone else” isn’t the problem

[fossil frost]

i stopped reading anything they wrote after "i got tired of always being right"

[winged spire]

lol

[wraith mist]

There's a population of people who are intectually an equal. They're just a rare breed. You really got to know where to look my friend.

You wouldn't understand

When you’re that far to the left of the bell curve I bet it is hard for you to find an intellectual equivalent

[fossil frost]

as they said, when "everyone else is the problem", you are the common factor there..

[wraith mist]

Sure, like I predicated Honey was a scam. Is that a problem too?

[winged spire]

Lmao

[wraith mist]

Now that the news broke. Everyone wants to pretend it was SOOOO obvious. Hilarious.

[fossil frost]

show us the evidence, properly dated, before any of the other multitude of evidence, and accusations came out, before they were even bought by paypal.. because they have been shown to be exactly that, and most people knew, right from the start

[wraith mist]

Can't ever admit their failures

[fossil frost]

some people were willing to be blind to it, because they were paid to be blind to it, everyone else knew all along

you didnt predict it, you just read what somebody else wrote

[winged spire]

I still hardly even consider the honey affiliate shit a scam

[wraith mist]

The gas lighting as usual. It was totally obvious to everyone. Mhm sure bud. Thats why their money tanked right after. Because "everyone knew".

I can't with you people.

[fossil frost]

they replace your links that earn you money on your own website, with their own. the consumer is not getting what they were told they were getting in that instance, that is the very definition of a scam

[wraith mist]

[fossil frost]

show me your evidence that you predicted it, because now, its just talk from some random clown on discord

[winged spire]

I’m well aware of the situation

[wraith mist]

Seriously? You expect me to prove a random thought of mine that I had many years ago.

[fossil frost]

extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence

[wraith mist]

Good quote.

[fossil frost]

its not a quote

[wraith mist]

It can be.

[fossil frost]

the quote would be "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"

technically, i paraphrased carl sagan, i didnt quote him

[wraith mist]

It was close enough but yes you're right

[viral flame]

Hi are yall ready for the steam machine what are yall thoughts about it

[wraith mist]

Regardless. The economic system is hostile. It has an inherent power imbalance that makes it putting it on a leash impossible long term. History proves me right. The modern era proves me right. And still people doubt me and the work of my people.

They take our ideas. Our morals. Instill it into institutional reform. Boot lickers. Or reformist. They're all wrong. I sit on an empire of truth.

We vote with hands still smudged by the system,
paper shields against a flood.
Reform says to bend the bars, don’t break them
buy time, buy breath, buy blood.
But zoom out far past ballots and borders,
past flags stitched by fear and debt,
and you’ll see a species mid-sentence,
arguing commas while the page isn’t set.
Reform is a step. Humanity is the frame.
Don’t confuse the ladder for the sky

You can mock me all you want. I will watch these people broad cast their own downfall. While they play their part on the strings of the ones really in charge.

[quartz dew]

Delete tabs you haven't looked at in a while?

[twin reef]

Wise advice.

I think it's kinda like telling an addict not to use the substance. Easier said than done.

[quartz dew]

Just gotta clean up after yourself sometimes

[foggy crescent]

Me who only has like 4 tabs open at most lol

[royal wing]

Vivaldi is so peak I fw you

I don't know how you reach a point where you need tabs management extensions though 😭

what are you using your browser for that you don't close tabs?

[twin reef]

Yeah, I wish I didn't. I just open things, thing after thing after thing that I think that I will look at later. Movies that I wanna watch, videos I wanna watch, books I wanna read. Apps or websites that I wanna look into more. And I'm still interested in them, I still want to do it, but I don't want to do it right now. And then they just accumulate and accumulate.

[royal wing]

Make a folder in your bookmarks and throw all that stuff in there. Maybe you could even create several folders inside of the main folders dividing it in movies, books, etc. If you don't have enough real estate in your bookmarks (which I mean, damn), maybe put them in a to-do list even though it's not technically a to-do, the checklist format may help to keep track of it

[winged spire]

[sterile sundial]

How do I open a ticket here or to get support?

[pale folio]

Maybe just me but is the ram shortage just an online thing for now? Like recently went to a bestbuy and they were selling 32gigs at 6000mhz from Corsair for like ~160 CAD

[sterile sundial]

Buy more, bulk buy and sell on ebay! Easy profit!

[pale folio]

Idk maybe it's just the online word is in desync with the retail prices? Like how likely is it for online to start going down to the retail prices

[sterile sundial]

Ethically is it right? Absolutely not! Would you like more $$$ in a legal way? Absolutely!

[sterile sundial]

Urm

[uneven stirrup]

Sad

[sterile sundial]

Nah, baso, them retailers defo have stock left before the RAMapocolips. So they're selling them based on them bases.

[sterile sundial]

I got exactly them but cl30 and 32gb. This was in August. Got it for around £130. At the time I thought maddness. Now im like its reasonable.

[uneven stirrup]

I should of bought this for $250 smh

[sterile sundial]

Lol

Its fine tho, genuinely, I predict theres gonna be a 2-3 day PLUMMET in prices soon.

Then it'll come back high as shits later on

[uneven stirrup]

96gb is so fire tho for $250 idk why I didn’t buy it

[sterile sundial]

I want what you was smoking at the time. Would be so good rn 💀

Would make u hallucinate the prices are cheap so u do an oopsie on ur credit card 😭

Thanks for the idea. I might look into bookmarks. It might be a good idea.

[hybrid echo]

after silent hill ts is nothing

[rocky knot]

That the increasing prices are okay because its always been expensive. They just put it on the clips channel

[north vessel]

Yeah, top comment said it best, “It’s not the 90’s anymore, Linus”

Honestly super well thought out take, just not valid imo because ram can easily cost well under what it was at BEFORE the rampocalypse.

At this point I just need 16 more gigs of ram and it’s too expensive compared to a couple months ago

new updates broke steamvr and virtualization without reconfiguring... aka i ruined a night with coworkers because a game basically made me spend the entire time troubleshooting for the third time

[north vessel]

Dang, I wasn’t having issues with my quest earlier. What headset are you using?

[pseudo girder]

and the consequence? im pissed and everyones miserable, and atleast 1 other person is experiencing similar problems

thanks microsoft

no its windows problems, not headset issues.

its not even compatibility with a different device, its recognized as a very defined device.

[north vessel]

I’m a Linux user, unfortunately I can’t relate

[pseudo girder]

so its priority error, its a max priority device.

[north vessel]

You should download arch

[pseudo girder]

no

for vr this would mean no good experience unless its an oculus or pico clone.

windows being problematic isnt the problem, the problem is they keep making it more so. but the other problem is there is much tech you cannot use without having serious time to develop soultions to using tech designed and coded for other machines.

if youre into enthusiast tech

linux is not for anything you can buy

time, if you have 70 hours a week to work, im not made of ionized fuel

[north vessel]

Agreed

[pseudo girder]

i mean within normal work, so most of the time, including sleep hours

so youd die

[north vessel]

What headset do you use?

[rocky knot]

Ya. That take would be fine if it was a fab having issues or an actual factor. BUT the fact this is all external and bogus factors (AI, Tarrifs, Scalping etc.) Is....different. and in the 90s computers were rare and hard to get. Now they should be easy and have so much more influence on our day to day life's. This wont just affect Gaming. This will affect the ewaste products even. Your next phone. Everything in the resell market. And it either gets worse before its better (if the AI Bubble Burst) or it only gets worse and worse.

Im thinking I could remove the wifi card and find a connector that connects to its port cause if im not mistaken its basically just a miniature version of pcie

But what adapter would let me do that

And i would preferably like one that doesn't require external power and can just power off the pcie wifi slot

[teal zephyr]

U can’t power a quadrop620 from a WiFi slot

WiFi slot is maybe a few watts, not 40

At 3 volts none the less

No chance

every hottop owner weighs how much they really benefit from it being a laptop and end up with a desktop eventually

I mean you can swap the gpu out on it

I got several. I wanna do something different

I wanna spread my tech legs I guess

if you value this feature, why do you still want a laptop with a gpu

the only kinda conclusion to this kinda discussion

[teal zephyr]

Lmao I could put this in the oven if I wanted to

He put the gpu in the oven because it was dead.

The oven fixed it

Because it melted the soldering back in place i think

[rocky knot]

That's the fun part. I don't think it clarifies.

[hazy parrot]

oh fuck yea more vague shit

[rocky knot]

I think they made it intentionally vague so it'll have to drag out in court once someone tries

I'd be shocked if someone isn't already trying the order.

Asus g11cd
But i upgraded the psu to be 600 watts and upgraded the gpu to have a titan x

And i upgraded it to boot off an ssd

Thats just because I know where to look

My only real gripe is
The only ssds you can install are sata ssds unless you wanna take out the wifi card

But apart from that

It ain't too shabby

When I got it at first it had a gtx 1060 and unfortunately booted off a hardrive

[stoic beacon]

Fair enough... Well, if the goal is to degoogle, you'd either self host your email, use proton Mail, or tuta mail. Pretty much everything else will just sell your data to Google and Facebook anyways

i have around 700 different saved account/passwords in chrome, migrated them to bitwarden. i think i probably use around 40 of them in total

[stoic beacon]

Also a good time to purge old accounts! If you don't use something, you can generally request deletion of the account

My family went through that during our migration process to Bitwarden

[fossil frost]

gone through about 50 accounts, about 10 of them had the ability to delete, about 10 have changed the site and the account just doesnt exist. the rest, no facility to do what is legally required of them 🙂

[stoic beacon]

Oh joy

Those are probably the ones who didn't collect additional data from you anyways, and they probably have great security protections, so it's fine /s

@fossil frost You'll probably run across it anyways since it prompts you for it, but make sure to enable the browser autofill integration in your settings if you use Android. It doesn't work well otherwise

[fossil frost]

already done. ty though 🙂

tbh, all accounts that havnt been used for say.. 2 years, should be automatically deleted

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, needs to be put into law in more places, and enforced in the areas that already have the laws

With certain exceptions, of course, for services that are not often used or are extremely important just by default. I haven't logged in to the credit bureaus in years, but if I needed to unfreeze my credit, I'd be upset if my accounts were gone

[fossil frost]

i dont consider that "an account". thats almost a utility service

[stoic beacon]

It has all of the great makings of an account though! Getting spammed by marketing emails, dark patterns during account creation to try and convince you that you have to have a monthly subscription to use the credit freezing feature, and no way to secure with real 2FA.

But yeah, government service accounts should not be deleted

For one, not everyone is religious or observes religious crap. secondly, you can place orders for delivery on a different day.

[oak pier]

Irregardless of whether or not you celebrate, christmas is a national holiday in most places

[polar fern]

This is completely irrelevant

this is not how placing a grocery order works. It doesn’t matter when you place an order it matters when you schedule the delivery.

You can literally place an order any time of any day of the year

[winged spire]

A single fold is good imo (if it wasn’t Samsung)

The double is dumb imo

I like the Google fold

[scarlet relic]

i just want/prefer a regular phone and not this overengineered piece of tech

also is it true that Pi 5 does alot of wear on SD cards? i'm looking for a SD card to the Pi 5 Nas build im doing

[covert cradle]

I'm not aware of any reason the pi 5 would do any more wear on the SD card than any other Linux SBC using an SD card for the rootfs. It would be dependent on the applications more than anything else. You could use an m.2 hat if you really wanted to on a pi 5

[restive lion]

Sounds expensive

[split swift]

Dataset? Is this for ai training?

[covert cradle]

Around $12, not including ssd

[restive lion]

I meant the m.2

[covert cradle]

Given the use case, they could get a super cheap PCIe 3.0 256gb one. Anything is gonna be orders of magnitude faster and higher longevity compared to an SD card

[scarlet relic]

yeah i got a M.2 hat for the Pi 5

[vernal seal]

guys is there any free way to send messg in bulk
asking for a organisation
not WhatsApp business api and sms both charges money
and i want to automate it by connecting google excel

[alpine gale]

Send messages in bulk... Where? How? To what endpoints / services? Also of note, are these internal messages for employees? Or external messages for non-employees?

[covert cradle]

I remember using sendgrid back as a teenager working for a startup, but they've apparently axed their free tier now

[vernal seal]

More like marketing or promotional messaging (transactional messgs) also it's for internal employees
Also want local options that are mostly used by people these days even non tech people.

[alpine gale]

Yee. Lots of the free tiers went away because malicious parties were abusing them like no other. It's a large reason transactional message services cost money. That and it costs to hook into other service's APIs to deliver the messages / emails / whatever.

[alpine gale]

This still doesn't answer my question... Where are the messages being sent? Email? SMS? RCS? At the end of the day, even if you dream up your own solution, the receiving side reserves a right to charge to receive these messages, so you'll likely need to pay one way or another.

[scarlet relic]

a comment i found on a youtube video mentions that the Linux system writes system changes to the SD card every 5 seconds

[vernal seal]

So it's like they want to share the messg to almost 7000 people in a day or 2.

[vernal seal]

Exactly have to figure out where those can be sent for free.
And not be costed.
So eventually you will need to pay yea..

[alpine gale]

For internal employee messaging, use something that integrates with your inter-office chat system, like Teams / Slack.

[alpine gale]

For external customer messaging, use a paid transactional message service or be faced with fines for violating AntiSpam laws, or worse, have the reputation of your domain names be permanently marked as spam.

[vernal seal]

It's more like a ngo and let's suppose its not for internal teams but has to be kept confidential for a set of people.

[vernal seal]

Oh

[harsh quartz]

They charge money to make sure it’s not spam, kinda sounds like spam

[alpine gale]

Sounds much more complicated than normal. I recommend hiring a Solution Architect for this.

[vernal seal]

Oh well.

Thanks alot

[harsh quartz]

We had a clinic using SMS advertising when they changed the laws on that a couple years ago, it’s such a hassle to get registered for a business SMS campaign

[vernal seal]

It's just theres alot in sms
This DLT regulations and all

Alot to be looked into if you want to sms

[alpine gale]

Yup. You're asking for permission to bulk send over the carrier networks - of course they're going to charge for a variety of reasons.

[covert cradle]

The "Linux system writes system changes"? I have no idea what that could be a reference to. Unless you're logging dropped/rejected packets, kernel messages are not a significant source of writes. Applications and services that you install otoh may have significant logging

[vernal seal]

Real, thanks alot kirashi and all

Stupid of me to think if there were any free service provider

[scarlet relic]

this Nas thing is almost like taking a science degree

[keen mural]

no its the epstein files

[alpine gale]

I mean, it is computer science after all.

[scarlet relic]

oh yeah but i had hoped i could build a Nas from a Pi 5 but i get someone telling me thats not a good idea because the Pi will kill the SD card very fast

so im a bit at a loss what to get

[alpine gale]

The Pi won't kill the card... Using consumer grade flash NAND (USB flash drives, SD cards, etc.) as a means of mass storage that you read / write constantly will kill it. So yeah, not a good idea.

[covert cradle]

That's a valid change, though it doesn't really mean the pi kills the cards. It's still your applications that you run on it doing logging or databases that are actually killing it. commit=300 will reduce the number of writes but if it's still a lot of writes (like a database), then the SD card is still gonna die

[scarlet relic]

the closest alternative solution i have is to repurpose a Blade server i have but i would need to get the blade chassis for it

[long scroll]

Hey guys, odd request on Christmas but I need to buy a new laptop. Anyone willing to give me some pointers

[covert cradle]

I've never made that change and never had an SD card die on my pi, but my SD card is for holding the OS, kernel logs, and journal logs only. All applications, their DBs, and their noisier logs are in docker containers that are stored on an external USB SSD (I have a pi4, so no PCIe hat for me)

[scarlet relic]

its currently a display piece

[covert cradle]

Personally, I'd rather have my system logs not be lost during a crash/power loss rather than extend the SD cards lifetime via commit=300. You could lose up to 5 minutes of system logs with that setting

Chat I need help choosing a laptop

I’ll be starting dual enrollment next year so I need an unaffiliated computer (so my school laptop is disqualified)

It needs to be durable (preferably MIL-STD 810 certified)

It has to have a god tier battery

16 inch screen

On my off time I’d like to game on it

GPU should (preferably) be right around equivalent to desktop 3060 ti

Id also like to have a touch screen but its not a necessity

Do I really need the m4 max?

[bright zenith]

I don’t want to pay money to play games I own

Real talk do you actually need to game on the go

[bright zenith]

No, which is why I said “on my off time”

[royal wing]

fuck first-world countries why is everything so cheap over there??? WHAT DO YOU EVEN NEED CHEAP STUFF FOR WHEN YOUR MINIMUM SALARY IS ALREADY INSANELY HIGH?? THE BASE ULTIMATE TIER IS $20 IN MY COUNTRY

[vapid smelt]

federal minimum wage is $7.25 usd per hour

cant* even buy a big mac meal with that

[royal wing]

$7 per what

[alpine gale]

It might be high relative to other countries, but lots of people in North America also have to deal with 500sqft 1 bed apartments that cost $2000/month so... Wages do be relative to the cost of living in a way. (Or rather, rent be relative to wages.) No matter how you slice it... Yeah, wages rarely keep up with inflation. It's bad everywhere outside of being born into a wealthy family.

[vapid smelt]

hour before taxes

[royal wing]

7.25 AN HOUR???

THAT'S INSANE

1218 a month assuming 21 working days and 8 hours/day

[royal wing]

that's not as true as you think

here the minimum salary is $223 a month

[hushed furnace]

Peak

[royal wing]

and our prices match most first-world countries, but only in grocery store stuff

tech for example is usually twice the price (or more)

clothes are insanely expensive even though salaries are much smaller

so we have low salaries and obscene prices

[royal wing]

a new battery CANNOT be that expensive

[vapid smelt]

approximately $15,080 a year if you made minimum wage meaning you can live in a apartment and starve OR live on the streets and have food

[hushed furnace]

i didnt even know it was this low

new batt is like 1200 rupees (like $13)

[royal wing]

tbf, yes, rent is more expensive over there, but not $1000 more

[hushed furnace]

here the starting salary is around 20-30k/month depending on the field, so about $250/month ig

[royal wing]

and also we have a really big problem with unformalized employment. there are a lot of jobs that the government isn't even aware of that could well be making less than the minimum wage since only the employer knows how much they're getting paid

[gilded quest]

Yep
High income also means high cost of living
Comparing numbers in converted currency doesn't paint the whole picture. The relative purchasing power index is much more appropriate

[winged spire]

Big Mac index

[gilded quest]

That's stupid because McDonald's is gross

[royal wing]

that being said, we're still one of the better countries economically in the region

[winged spire]

What country

[vapid smelt]

min wage should be 1.5x a big mac meal cost

[winged spire]

It is already

[royal wing]

Argentina

[winged spire]

Pretty close

[royal wing]

I wish

[winged spire]

Like a dollar less than 1.5x

[royal wing]

there is not enough updated info for this and since we have had A LOT of inflation I can't just look at 2023 data

[vapid smelt]

$7.25 fed min wage and also for my state

[royal wing]

This is so wrong lol

[winged spire]

What

[royal wing]

wait what nevermind

I thought combos were not a lot more expensive than the hamburgers by themselves

I was wrong, in fact, that chart is pessimistic

I stand corrected

[royal wing]

Yeah but I think the Big Mac index is made with just the hamburger, not the meal

[vapid smelt]

we are fat Americans we get the whole meal

[royal wing]

same but there MUST also be a way to get just the burger right? at least that's how it works here

[vapid smelt]

need my sugar and cornsyrup drink and salted fries

[royal wing]

not like anybody does it, but it's there if you need it

[vapid smelt]

yeah the regualr burger or the meal

[alpine gale]

Well yes. Last I checked you can still order a burger entirely on its own. Though I wouldn't call fast food burgers real burgers so...

[vapid smelt]

a foot long subway sandwich is now like $10 in my area so a hour of min wage work cant buy you that too

[gilded quest]

Yeah you can work full time minimum wage and barely afford to live out of your car

[royal wing]

That would be 6 hours of minimum wage work here

[alpine gale]

Same. I remember $5 footlongs, back before Subway even had their "Premium" lineup. Now you can't even buy a basic cold cut combo footlong for less than ~$12 CAD.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVRAn9JhlFs i remember any foot long being $5 on February even the expensive meatball subs

I’m happy Linus was even able to go to China. I assumed he was banned for mentioning Taiwan and visiting it even getting picked up by local news as showing how cool Taiwan was.

I’m legitimately shocked the CCP hasn’t like pulled a Jeffery Epstein on him lol

Supposedly there's a vid for a 20% discount?

[pure smelt]

Came here to ask the same

[misty hinge]

what? where?

[open zodiac]

For the Boxing Day 20% off on the Prismagic Series Transparent Screwdriver, watch the video on YouTube and add the product to your cart through YouTube Shopping. The discount applies automatically and is valid for this item only.

[pure smelt]

What video is that?

[misty hinge]

i heared that too, but all the videos didnt have youtube store or shop integrations

[open zodiac]

no idea

The webpage for the screwdriver literally says what I posted

[pure smelt]

https://youtu.be/1mPfwosG-SA?si=cX-V5rYHQUn1K2Jx

Maybe this one? It has 20% listed for other screwdrivers

[misty hinge]

Yeah it has only integrations with google chrome and also its only the standard screw-driver

See #lttstore not happy and not alone ^^

Why did I think there was something more specific

[astral drift]

my nhd 15 comes tomorrow

i am excitement

[drifting basin]

Hey guys, which one is the better PC i should get? Need help on this:

Option 1:
– Ryzen 9 9950X3D
– RTX 5070 Ti
– 64GB RAM
– 4TB SSD

Option 2:
– Ryzen 9 9900X
– RTX 5080
– 32GB RAM
– 2TB SSD

[graceful matrix]

1

[drifting basin]

why

[graceful matrix]

more ram and storage for a singel crome tab or half of a cod update

and when you do what you do you do what you ever do

[drifting basin]

chat gpt is saying Option 2 is better mainly because the RTX 5080 is much more powerful than the 5070 Ti, and GPU performance has the biggest impact on gaming and most modern workloads. The CPU difference matters far less in real-world use, while RAM and storage can be upgraded later. So overall, Option 2 gives you higher performance where it counts most.

[graceful matrix]

why not now have much than later

[hot thistle]

I’d say 1 as well. The (gaming) area where 5080 will outperform will probably be the same as areas where X3D will make a difference

[graceful matrix]

what if it gets more expensive than before

[calm swan]

1

[graceful matrix]

or just take the 5080 from 2 and put it into the 1 option

[drifting basin]

that i am not able to do thats why im stuck between the 2

[graceful matrix]

both still expensive why not so?

[drifting basin]

and gpt is saying Because GPU performance outweighs RAM/CPU/storage for most users, especially for gaming and modern workloads.

Here’s the simple logic:

GPU = biggest performance bottleneck → RTX 5080 is a big upgrade over 5070 Ti

CPU difference is small in real use → both CPUs are already very fast

RAM & SSD are easy to upgrade later → GPU is expensive and harder to replace

So even though Option 1 looks better on paper (more RAM, storage, stronger CPU), Option 2 will actually feel faster in games and GPU-heavy tasks, which is what most people care about.

idk how accruate it is

[calm swan]

5080 is only 15% faster

[graceful matrix]

will you really trust chatgbt

[calm swan]

that’s not a big upgrade

[graceful matrix]

what if its 25% bs

[calm swan]

the 9950x3d stomps all over the 9900x in both prod and gaming

[astral drift]

id get a 5070ti 32 gigs and a 9800x3d if i were gaming but the 9950x3d and 64 gigs are better for productivity

[graceful matrix]

16 cores amd i think a 5070 is enough

[drifting basin]

ya im getn confused cause its saying the cpu isnt crazy dif but the gpu trade off is so im tryan figure it out

[astral drift]

or a mix of 1 and 2 for productivity, 9900x for 4 extra higher clocked cores and 64 gigs for the heavy workloads

[drifting basin]

the thign is i want overall pwoerhouse for both gaming and prod

[calm swan]

1

[astral drift]

1 is better for both

[graceful matrix]

like i said take the 5080 and push it into the 1 option

[drifting basin]

makes sense yea

easier to replace gpu than ram ssd and cpu later on

[graceful matrix]

and i think you have a high budget off 5k or so

[drifting basin]

its going for 2999

option 1

[graceful matrix]

gpu?

then do 1

[drifting basin]

optin 1 is 2999 option 2 is 2500

idc much ab price dif i j want the best pc overall

[graceful matrix]

you want to be producive than use 3d

[drifting basin]

like that is better in both gaming and prod

[graceful matrix]

i play on 1060 so idk what you play on

[drifting basin]

liek day trading , spreadsheets excel , vid editin gbut i game alot also mainkly

[graceful matrix]

editing render want fast and many cores

[drifting basin]

whhcih pc is beter for gaming

still option 1?

[calm swan]

1

[drifting basin]

and prod also number 1?

[graceful matrix]

1

yes

[drifting basin]

dang ok bet

i guess chat gpt was beign wrong then

[graceful matrix]

you 21 ?

[drifting basin]

yes

[graceful matrix]

ah age in name and for what stands s s ?

[drifting basin]

doesnt mean anythign just random

Option 1:
– Ryzen 9 9950X3D
– RTX 5070 Ti
– 64GB RAM
– 4TB SSD

Option 2:
– Ryzen 9 9900X
– RTX 5080
– 64GB RAM
– 4TB SSD

[graceful matrix]

change it pls

its to german

[drifting basin]

which one is better now (assuming i uograde opt 2 ram and ssd to maych opt 1)

[graceful matrix]

1

[drifting basin]

bet

[graceful matrix]

wait i see a diffrence in stoage?

maybe take cpu to option 2

[drifting basin]

not in budget for that yet

[hot umbra]

Shoutout d brand for guaranteeing Christmas delivery with expedited shipping and still having it arrive a day late

[left halo]

What’s the difference between reverse and normal fans?

[small bear]

why ot 7800x3d and 5080? or maaaybe even 9800x3d (probably wont even help performance

[hot thistle]

If you back to 32GB and 2TB, then replace cpu with 9800X3D id say you’d be on par with gaming performance of 1; but prod workloads would take a hit

[graceful matrix]

ask him

[small bear]

@drifting basin

[graceful matrix]

if you want the good looking side but it pulls air to wrong side you can use revese to see the good looking side and have air where you want

[hot umbra]

The direction the wind blows /s usually people buy reverse fans for aesthetics (like wanting an intake to not have the cage on it)

[drifting basin]

its either

Option 1:
– Ryzen 9 9950X3D
– RTX 5070 Ti
– 64GB RAM
– 4TB SSD
( i upgrade gpu later)

Option 2:
– Ryzen 9 9900X
– RTX 5080
– 32GB RAM
– 2TB SSD
(i upgrade ram and ssd later, maybe cpu change if needed)

[graceful matrix]

1

bc only one upgrade wanted

[drifting basin]

cpu over that 5080 makes that muych dif?

true that

[graceful matrix]

someone up said 15% diff

[drifting basin]

gotchy

[plain gale]

are you sure you need the cores? would go lower end xxxxX3D with 5080 ngl

9800x3d or even 7800x3d

[small bear]

but why dont you take the option 2 but with 7800x3d? so much more logical. option 1 is inferior gpu with OP everything else

overkill evrrything else, as in rtx 7090 level

not suited for 5070ti

[calm swan]

prod

video editing

9950x3d makes sense for that

[small bear]

oh….

suddenly option 1 makes a lot more sense but it’s extreme case so imma not think about this

[silver creek]

Hello

[exotic oxide]

hi

[drifting basin]

gpt is confusing me againa

If you mean pure “top-tier” performance overall, the GPU matters more in most real-world “raw power” scenarios (especially gaming at 1440p/4K, ray tracing, and GPU-accelerated creator workloads). And an RTX 5080 is in a higher class than an RTX 5070 Ti.

What’s “more top tier” depends on what you do
Gaming (especially 1440p / 4K, RT on)

Ryzen 9 9900X + RTX 5080 will usually be faster overall, because you’ll be GPU-limited most of the time and the 5080 is the stronger card.
NVIDIA
+1

The 9950X3D is an amazing gaming CPU (3D V-Cache helps a lot), but pairing it with a 5070 Ti means you’ll hit the GPU ceiling sooner.
AMD
+1

Verdict for gaming “raw power”: 9900X + 5080

CPU-heavy work (compiling, heavy simulation, CPU rendering, lots of multitasking)

Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16c/32t) is the stronger CPU than a 9900X (12c/24t), so for genuinely CPU-bound workloads it can win.
AMD
+1

Verdict for CPU-heavy productivity: 9950X3D + 5070 Ti (CPU side wins)

GPU-accelerated creator work (Blender GPU render, AI, video effects that lean on GPU)

Again, the RTX 5080 tends to be the deciding factor for throughput.
NVIDIA

Verdict for most modern creator pipelines: 9900X + 5080

Practical “overall” ranking

Most top-tier overall (typical high-end use): Ryzen 9 9900X + RTX 5080

Best if you specifically want the absolute strongest CPU platform (and play CPU-bound esports/1080p high FPS a lot): Ryzen 9 9950X3D + RTX 5070 Ti
