In my cursory search that's from '86. Far older than I am lmao. Also in my old age I misremembered nearly a year ago as "a few months ago". This is the one I had seen:

A 2002 SEM complete with XP computer and installed software

same brand even, just 16 years apart

ngl, I do love the vibe of the control panel of the older one. XP era software is not something I'm fond of otoh. I'm sure it's more realistically useful though

it would be a pretty cool thing to try implementing some gateware and software for

oh shit its actually real

we might beat china to the moon again

[rustic tundra]

we are going to the moon this year?

fuck me thats on february 5

these pictures of astronauts look like some game screenshots

[winged spire]

artemis 2 is just looping around the moon

humanity's first crewed mission to the vicinity of the Moon since 1972.

[rustic tundra]

im reading yeah

first landing in 2027

[winged spire]

hopefully

thats pretty optimistic lol

[rustic tundra]

also there will be the first black person outside the earths orbit which is also exciting

[winged spire]

women too huh?

[rustic tundra]

oh yeah that one too

wouldve been almost impossible for both to do that in 1972

[winged spire]

the first women in space was like 60s

[rustic tundra]

/j

i meant on the moon

outside earths orbit

orbit? or gravity

[winged spire]

shes one of the most russian looking people ive ever seen

literally the mathmatical average russian babushka

lol

[rustic tundra]

they look like theyre from a trailer for another space exploration game

hansen looks like a character in king of the hill

oh that dude will also be the first non american citizen to go beyond low earth orbit

should we expect more countries to participate in the moon exploration?

[winged spire]

russia's space program is WAY too corrupt to even potentially be a contender

[rustic tundra]

if the eu decides on selected countries to pick their astronauts to send to the moon

[winged spire]

theres several private chinese companies

lot of super small rockets in various places

brazil, austrialia, norway

EU is not close either

ESA is a joke in terms of hardware

hello

[pallid falcon]

Hi

[pallid falcon]

You can apperently upload multiple youtube videos at once..

[gusty remnant]

interesting

[pallid falcon]

IDK how to do it through the UI

But if you drag and drop multiple files it just uploads them all at once

[gusty remnant]

ive only ever posted one youtube video

a 20 second bf1 clip

[pallid falcon]

I've been tasked with porting over a entire series from company site over to youtube

Knowing I can just drag and drop all episodes on a season would have been so helpful to know earlier..

Also this could probaly have been done way sooner but Edge kept putting the tab to sleep when I left computer running so I found a way to turn that off now

[civic fox]

i've posted 167 yt videos over the last 3 years

[gusty remnant]

Jesus

[civic fox]

yeah i started content creation on a chromebook, and eventually got to PC.

[gusty remnant]

I just work at a grocery store

[static perch]

i also made some youtube videos but i was never serious about it

[civic fox]

that works too :)

[gusty remnant]

Yall ever heard of ingles, im guessing not

[static perch]

a few did surprisingly well

[gusty remnant]

Its the store chain i work at, only exists in the southeast US

[dawn pivot]

Spanish for English

[gusty remnant]

The amount of times ive heard that joke 😭

[dawn pivot]

it’s true!

what else could it be 💔

[gusty remnant]

The store chain that no one who lives outside of a town with a population less that 10,000 would know of

[dawn pivot]

oh

[gusty remnant]

Like i said here

[dawn pivot]

Is it good

[gusty remnant]

God no

[dawn pivot]

oh

[dawn pivot]

I didn’t read that far

[gusty remnant]

Its inside hasn't changed since the 1950s and not in a good way

Its that sickly shade of beige throughout the entire store

[dawn pivot]

u should totally break in one night and repaint it

cuz that does not sound beautiful

[gusty remnant]

Dude we literally sell shrink wrapped chilidogs that ur supposed to microwave in the deli microwave

[dawn pivot]

yummers

[gusty remnant]

The hotdogs are the same color as the buns

[dawn pivot]

do u eat them on your lunch break

[gusty remnant]

Oh fuck no i dont trust that deli in the slightest

[dawn pivot]

do u atleast get paid decently good

[gusty remnant]

As far as i know, im currently making 11.50 an hour

[dawn pivot]

That’s pretty good

[gusty remnant]

The state minimum wage is still 7.25 an hour somehow

They keep it just low enough to keep people working there

Cause no one is gonna work for 7.25

[dawn pivot]

you’d only have to work 2174 hours to buy this gpu #tech-chat-2 message

[tired glade]

Is 7.25 even survivable at this point?

[gusty remnant]

No

[dawn pivot]

If you live at home

[gusty remnant]

If i still didn't live with my parents i would not be able to afford anything on 11.50

Cause i see the price of people's weekly shopping around here and its usually close to or over 200 dollars

Which is usually my entire weekly earnings

[dawn pivot]

weekly? for how many people

[gusty remnant]

I wanna say 3 at the minimum, the point still stands that groceries are hella expensive

And working as a cashier i swear i can see the prices going up daily

[dawn pivot]

oh yeah

[gusty remnant]

Ngl i wish i could have bought one of those cpu pillows

Anyone here like SOAD

[dawn pivot]

what

What’s that

[civic fox]

hmmm, i think this is as far as i can go with this card.

[gusty remnant]

The LTT cpu pillows, they went offsale a while ago im pretty sure

[gusty remnant]

What card

[civic fox]

9060xt, this card can reach almost 3500mhz now.

[gusty remnant]

Hm

Im running a 6700xt still

More than enough for the stuff im playing

[civic fox]

i'll be switching to a 9800X3D and a 5070ti here in a few months.

and when i rebuild again after that, i will go back to intel.

hi all

[deft wagon]

So theoretically can i use a rgb splitter for argb stuff

[viscid elm]

no?

rgb and arb are different things

if you plug in a 12v rgb thing with a 5v argb thing you will smell some stuff

[deft wagon]

For a argb header and argb fans but i only have an rgb splitter

[deft wagon]

Nooo both header motherboard and fans are argb

[viscid elm]

ah yea in that case its fine iv even done it myself but be VERY VERY VERY careful how you plug it in

[deft wagon]

Make sur of the 5v direction right

Sure*

Otherwise its fine right

[viscid elm]

ofc

[deft wagon]

Well thanks Im changing my aio from 240mm to 360

My old aio was a rgb one but the new one is argb and dowsnt come with a splitter so

I had a cooler master ml240 gonna go to cooler master 360l core

Is it good you think

[viscid elm]

were you having overheating issues?

[deft wagon]

I have an oc i5 12600kf

And no temps were alr but under a steess test it goes up to 86 and stabilize there

(Also the aio was kindof a free upgrade)

Paid 30euros for the new 360

Gonna probably sell my 240 for 40e

[tired glade]

How high oc is?

[deft wagon]

5.2ghz

[tired glade]

Not terribly temps

[deft wagon]

P core 5.2 E core 4.1

[tired glade]

Oh,e cores turn on

[deft wagon]

Cpu was made to be 125w base and 180w underload now its a 253w

[tired glade]

Not a great CPU,but if it is stable, it's fine

[deft wagon]

Its honestly stable never had a problem

[deft wagon]

I got the whole setup for 300e lol

[tired glade]

Lol

[deft wagon]

I5 12600kf rtx 3080 (12gb version oc) and 32gb ram ddr5

It was a steam i aint gonna complain

[tired glade]

You got good deal

[deft wagon]

Steal*

[deft wagon]

Yeahhh

The new aio come with coolermaster fans too but the thing is

I think my current fans are better (coolermaster sickleflow)

They have more static pressure

2.5 mm H₂0 vs 1.86 mm H₂O

[civic fox]

(god warship is annoying) anyway my drive seems to be faster than its rated for.

Yes

[smoky sundial]

its so funny that i said no to half of it lol

[tired glade]

Oh, yes, discord surveys

[fossil frost]

had an idea for a game. 2D platformer that has a "stability" meter.. it drops with time, and the more it drops, the more the world loses colour, and the more enemies appear, each enemy you defeat, brings the stability meter back up. bosses will be representations of daily tasks, fighting them will increase the drain speed of your meter. top 25% of the meter, world is colourful, bottom 25%, fully black and grey, in the middle, its washed out colour. all the enemies are swirling black cloud like creatures.. you have to fight your way through "a day".

aka the anxiety/depression simulator game 🙂

[tired glade]

Isn't that normal progression system,but with a scale on screen

[fossil frost]

its a normal health system, but it drains over time as well as being hit by enemies, but your "health" affects the world and how it looks too

the level will be more spikey with the lower "health", and more inviting with the higher "health"

the lower the meter, the higher the relative "weight" of the player character will be, slowing down their movement, slowing down their attack speed, reducing their jump height, reducing sprint speed

ie. the less you fight, the harder the game gets to play

WAIT! Send a PIC! IT MAY BE SAVEABLE!

[rare otter]

I done out it up but ima add you for when I work on it later ok?

[covert cradle]

as long as they haven't broken off it's possible to bend them back. Though you have to be very gentle to not break them

if they break it's still fixable but quite a bit more effort

[outer rapids]

Hi

[covert cradle]

My hands shake to some degree and I've done it before. You just have to brace your forearms in a comfortable position. It's tedious so emphasis on comfort cause you'll be in that position for a while if it's a lot of pins

[winged olive]

And the butter knife is slightly a joke, If you have nothing else it will get you but if youre careful. Recommend small tweezers or and Exacto knife (Use the back side of the blade.)

[covert cradle]

I had used tweezers since they were bent in many directions. iirc it was around 50-60 pins. I've heard a credit card can work in some cases too

[winged olive]

I have used cards before. I like tweezers best. Easiest for me to control. I also have a little tool I made that works pretty well

Now I think average life expectancy can be 100+ years of age if we slow down the aging process enough

It’s harder to live into older age because our bodies just gradually break down

Although generally they are much less frequent

[nova tulip]

Fair enough.

[fossil frost]

Tbh, depression kills more people than you think, likely me than any of these. And people still don't see it as a thing that needs treating. Just get told "deal with it" or "don't be soft"

[covert cradle]

in certain younger age groups definitely, but overall both cancer and heart disease each kill 10x more. It's still really sad how mental health is treated lesser in so many healthcare systems

and I'm sure it's undereported, but by 10x seems improbable

[fossil frost]

If it was reported properly in older people, I would say that gap would be much closer. Even my generation still sees it as "soft" to talk about anything like that,

What's doom scrolling nowadays?

[ashen magnet]

Since I can't post. A screenshot, here's the definition.

"Doomscrolling (or doomsurfing) is the compulsive habit of endlessly consuming negative news and upsetting content online, particularly via social media, leading to increased anxiety, fatigue, and distress, often triggered by a need to stay informed during crises but resulting in negative mental and physical health impacts like poor sleep, headaches, and lowered mood. It's a cycle where fear and a desire for control fuel the consumption of bad news, even as it harms well-being, and can be broken by setting limits, taking breaks, and practicing mindfulness, according to Hartford HealthCare, Texas Tech University, and Calm"

Well, I'm using Tiktok, Instagram and Facebook reels but same thing

That is true. But then it all went to crap when corporations noticed it and tried to find a way to make more money before a recession fucks them over, so they went with the AI gamble and paid off.

[mystic tundra]

the expectation bar is constantly being raised for AI

so yeah more money has to be pumped into it

[tired glade]

Investors like it

Especially when all others industries are slowing down

[wispy pollen]

But at the start, before Stable Diffusion was a thing, and later chatgpt, it was mostly done by hobbyists, people that I know who understand ethics and are threading the line up until that point.

Just gotta blame that on capitalism just doing its damn best to corrupt everything for the sake of money, before it finally croaks over.

[meager vault]

what is yall prediction on AI in the next few years

[tired glade]

Mainly in IT labs,but let's call them hobbies

[tired glade]

Depends what can sell

[wispy pollen]

True, though there are people I know, specifically from the mlp fandom, who were working on developments pre-2022.

[meager vault]

what is know is that Google is trying hard to develop Artificial General Inteligence and let Ai train themselves and eventually be smarter then humans

[mystic tundra]

cooldown

[tired glade]

I know people from 80's that were experimenting with sentenced content

[meager vault]

How close are we to AGI ? Elon Musk says next 3-4 years , some says a few decades .

[wispy pollen]

AI augmentation. Something that humans can benefit whilst still retaining the speed of AI. Though this would require a stable and non-corrupt society to begin with, which is currently far from the case.

[tired glade]

Algorithms like internet call it existing since mid 2000's

[mystic tundra]

it’s people gambling big

[tired glade]

So,ice breaker argument before refrigeration

[alpine gale]

Couple years? Who knows. Many decades? It will leave us for dead. https://vimeo.com/307139536

[meager vault]

AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is a hypothetical type of AI that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge to solve any intellectual task a human can, across any domain, rather than being limited to specific functions like current A

[tired glade]

Oh,vimeo still alive

[mystic tundra]

it will never know specific niches that some people only know at a time

[wispy pollen]

Nope, nowhere close, not in the current state. They finally reached the limit of transformers, and the big AI companies are just brute forcing training on a massive scale for the sake of more gains, though it also seemed that they're trying to gain more land and power under the guise of incredibly impossible sized data centers.

[tired glade]

Depends how you ask questions,that thing exists since 60's

[meager vault]

damn

[wispy pollen]

Not at the moment, not when AI is like this currently. So unless a new type of training and inference is possible, it's not happening.

[mystic tundra]

not saying the opposite can’t be true

[rustic tundra]

ai is useful

[tired glade]

Also,we are close to functioning quantum computing alternatives, so everything can go hair wire soon

[mystic tundra]

in theory

[meager vault]

we have a lot of limitations as of now aswell . our chips are reaching its theoratical limit . we barely have enough power for all the data centres .

[tired glade]

Depends which one

[wispy pollen]

When used properly, that's the key point. But all I see are bad examples of it.

[mystic tundra]

if you look how many resources have been drained from the earth and that lie down as garbage in the future or now AI hasn’t been useful basicly at all

materials don’t appear out of nowehere

[tired glade]

Development with AI support on microchip architecture already a thing,so who knows

[meager vault]

i heard that we reached the limit how how small our transistors can get .

[rustic tundra]

we live at the best and worst time

[tired glade]

No, and yes,but physics is still on no side

[tired glade]

So, just normal time

[alpine gale]

"Not if the Dutch have anything to say about it!" Laser noises intensify.

[tired glade]

Oh,those Dutch and their machines

[meager vault]

ASML 🙏

[mystic tundra]

i’m just afraid of this technosalvation some people have, yes it has driven progress in the history but it’s doing so much as far as we know unrecoverable damage

[meager vault]

im more worried about how far AI can theoratically reach

[tired glade]

So,like Google search destroy libraries or something like that

[meager vault]

i seen way too many videos on youtube that promote ideas of superintelligence and how it can destroy the world

[tired glade]

Apple’s Original MacBook Pro Enters Its Third Decade Today oh

[tired glade]

Isn't that a definition of doom scrolling?

[meager vault]

how do you doom scrool youtube videos

i search on youtube about AI and everything is about how AI will kill us

[tired glade]

I mean, you are doing it,not me

Yep,doom scrolling

[mystic tundra]

no like that AI will save us by destroying our planet more?

[meager vault]

AI is already destroying the planet

[alpine gale]

I'ma let you in on a secret: there's content about how everything will kill you if you look hard enough. It's usually good for your health to avoid this content. Not necessarily ignore the content... just know what you're consuming.

[tired glade]

Not like there are just two extremes

[meager vault]

yea i js ignore it

[wispy pollen]

Even with that, it's still a problem.

[tired glade]

First chips looks promising so far

[wispy pollen]

I feel like it's investor hype mixed into ideas regarding technology that caused this weird technosalvation narrative to become a thing. That or optimist utopian dreams.

[tired glade]

We can get x86 derivatives alternative faster than people can figure it out by themselves

[mystic tundra]

it’s up to your imagination what could AI do to even out all the damage

[tired glade]

Or legislation put on AI companies can limit it

[mystic tundra]

aside from saving some lives so far, people also have died in mines

[wispy pollen]

More like using robots that were meant to free us from meaningless work to push us more to abusive work kind of thing.

[mystic tundra]

and have respiratory issues as well

[tired glade]

You know,like taxing IT companies out of their mines

[wispy pollen]

It meant looking at all sorts of negative content when bored.

[tired glade]

That's lowered lower class percentages in the end

[wispy pollen]

I swear, when I tried to research regarding the truth regarding that kind of claim, I got no specific counts regarding electricity made by each sector of industry in the US recently. Like they made it purposely hard to make a measurement to claim truth on the matter.

[wispy pollen]

THIS, for the sake of our sanity, stay away from too much of that type of content.

[mystic tundra]

especially education on this matter

[meager vault]

quick question . given how expensive ram and ssd's are nowadays . How do laptops remain somewhat affordable ?

[mystic tundra]

schools haven’t catched up with it

[wispy pollen]

Don't worry, we still understand

[mystic tundra]

i’ve done much worse crimes of misspelling

[meager vault]

with AI being implimented into almost all our computers . can it have any positive impacts ?

[mystic tundra]

quit pc and go touch grass

that’s a + in my book

[meager vault]

😂

[tired glade]

Yep, windows 12 won't be that terrible on release

[meager vault]

interesting

[wispy pollen]

Not in that type of invasive integration. It's literally a data farm for microsoft.

[tired glade]

Windows 12 leaks shows heavy use of AI,so most like ai cores will be needed for it

[wispy pollen]

I'm planning to transfer into Linux once I got the cash to buy an AMD GPU.

[tired glade]

I hope you aren't planning to play gta6

[wispy pollen]

That and possibly anti cheat bypass for some of my Multiplayer games

[wispy pollen]

I'm more on the wait and see crowd regarding GTA 6. Can't give in to hype because development there is just messy.

[tired glade]

I mean, it like Disney movies, people will just buy it

No matter what it is

[meager vault]

i heard many ram companies are building more fabs

could this ease the situation of the current memory shortage

[wispy pollen]

Not in the immediate future, nope.

[meager vault]

i seen some finishing construction in 2028

[wispy pollen]

That's literally 2 years away

[meager vault]

eh well soon enough ig

im gonna get a new computer in 2028

[wispy pollen]

Just when I wanted to upgrade to 32GB just recently

[meager vault]

🙏

my 16gb ram is gonna have to stay with me for 2 more years

[shut lichen]

I've got a spare 32 gigs of DDR4

[wispy pollen]

Mind if I could DM you for that?

[shut lichen]

Oh I wasn't saying it's for sale

Pretty sure one of the sticks is fucked too

[wispy pollen]

Nvm...

[shut lichen]

It's just the other half of the ram I had in my X99 board before it died

[wispy pollen]

I got like 2 8 GB DDR4 RAM sticks on my end.

I would love a size upgrade if at all possible. would a 3/4 set-up for 32 GB work?

[shut lichen]

don't mix sticks, and especially not different capacity sticks

What is an 8gb stick worth used at the moment?

[meager vault]

16gb on bestbuy is around 161 dollars so ig 80 dollars ?

[shut lichen]

Jeez

Wait I said used

[meager vault]

oh

8gb ddr4 is 50 dollars on ebay

[shut lichen]

I see actual sold listings being 30-40 per stick

now not so tempting

[wispy pollen]

Not sure, give me a sec

[shut lichen]

I mean an extra $120usd would be nice but not really worth the hassle and also then I wouldn't have spare ram

[shut lichen]

Already figured it out

[wispy pollen]

Gosh darn, 50 bucks. Wtf

[wispy pollen]

If prices do go down, what was the price of a 16GB stick before the price hike?

[shut lichen]

Idk

I haven't bought ram since 2019

Could've gotten a 2x8gb Corsair vengeance pack for $85nzd

one of the many that went out of stock before the price hikes lol

And that's 3200m/t

Currently G.skill ripjaws 3200 2x8gb is around $250nzd

Kingston valueram 8gb for $130nzd 💀

Crucial 16gb stick for $200nzd

[wispy pollen]

Tf

yep, if what they say is correct, and prices just drop to $128 for 128 GB, then that would have been a dream.

[tired glade]

Bot farmers will love low prices on hardware

[wispy pollen]

Heh, now that's going to be a pain when they come out.

[severe marsh]

its easy brooo

[latent stream]

what made the seller so mad that he had to split the motherboard in half

the cpu got delidded

[stark idol]

Also that’s ddr3

And those sticks are low rise so they won’t even fit in the board

[viscid elm]

i do not think that is the main issue here

[graceful matrix]

half the power consumtion or make it itx

[latent stream]

maybe he wanted to delid the cpu but don't have a delidder

I watched labyrinth yesterday and got 3 adds the entire movie and 2 of them where like 8 second long adds

chat name me a few oled monitors i should compare display wise to what i got

I already paid and the order has already been dispatched so im praying to all gods and entities they dont cancel it

We going back to the moon baby

[tired glade]

Permanent or just landing mission?

[vapid smelt]

Probably because it uses cheaper gddr6

[rustic tundra]

the neat part is that the 5050 uses gddr6 too

so does the 4060

[vapid smelt]

Maybe they don't have enough bad wafers to keep the 5050 in stock

So instead of lobotomizing good GPU dies to make a horrible 5050 they revamp 3060s

[rustic tundra]

they still sell 40 series

so they could just stick to a 4060

[vapid smelt]

4060 stinky

[rustic tundra]

and you think the 3060 is better?

both 12gb and 8gb models are behind

[oak pier]

as someone who works in theatrical tech, and thus works with high power speakers, if you try overloading a speaker whoever owns/operates it will personally crucify you

5050 is its own die

[vapid smelt]

Oh that's how special it is 😂

[gilded quest]

[gilded quest]

Well, it's just even smaller than 5060

[oak pier]

5050 is mobile only isn’t it?

Naw

4050 was mobile only

[oak pier]

ah that’s what i was thinking of

i knew there was a #050 that was mobile only

[rustic tundra]

[gilded quest]

2050 is mobile only and it's ampere based

[oak pier]

really?

i didn’t even know ampere GPUs were even a thing

[vapid smelt]

Oh the 4060 uses 5nm just like 5000 series while the 3060 is 8nm

[gilded quest]

2050 - mobile only and fucked
3050 - mobile and desktop (many variants). 2050 should use the same die
4050 - mobile only and POS
5050 - mobile and desktop, differ vram

Ampere was 30 series (2020)

[oak pier]

5ish years with PCs

7 or so with tech as a general concept

[gilded quest]

You were definitely around for ampere...

[oak pier]

in my defense, i’m a dumbass

[rustic tundra]

ada lovelace goodest

[oak pier]

it’s only in recent years that i’ve actually made an effort to understand pc architecture

nvidias statement on reviving the 3060 seems like a stupid idea they aint fooling us with "due to memory requirements"

or whatever they said about vram

[tired glade]

Is that 12gb or lower versions?

[viscid elm]

Wait what, Nvidia made a statement about that

Can you link it?

[rustic tundra]

yeah they want to bring back the 3060 due to them using gddr7 for ai and shit

but then we have gddr6 in the 4060 and 5050

[viscid elm]

Can you link it?

[rustic tundra]

no link but everyone talks about it

ztt and others

[viscid elm]

Ztt, the guy who recommended those razer computers and user benchmarks and so on?

Also you do not know how a statement works

[rustic tundra]

whatever the word was

they are bringing the 3060 back

[viscid elm]

Did they say they are?

[harsh quartz]

cheap video cards on the market wouldnt be a stupid idea, depending on how cheap they are

[rustic tundra]

what did i just say

[viscid elm]

But your not providing a source

[rustic tundra]

youre

[north escarp]

[rustic tundra]

look yourself then

[viscid elm]

You're

[north escarp]

[viscid elm]

You are the person spreading this

[rustic tundra]

you seem to be uninformed

[viscid elm]

So provide links from the statement Nvidia made

[rustic tundra]

search up "nvidia bringing back 3060" on youtube

[viscid elm]

YouTube??

[north escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/jensen-huang-rtx-nvidia-3080-gif-25292398

[rustic tundra]

everyone is talking about it

[viscid elm]

All iv seen is people claiming Nvidia is doing it, nobody even shows a statement about it.

At best you get a random tweet from a guy claiming maybe it could come

[north escarp]

Ai said nothing confirmed, but rumors

[rustic tundra]

it wouldnt make sense to bring that 5 year old low end gpu

[north escarp]

It wouldn't really

[viscid elm]

So why are you saying they are

[rustic tundra]

who knows maybe they are stupid enough

[viscid elm]

I wonder how hard it would be for me to edit a image and get some news outlet to spread it then it spreads all over slop tube

Hmmm, maybe I can make something about bringing back the 3090

[rustic tundra]

i feel like its just old gamers being delusional over the fact 3060 is no longer good

so they spread this

[viscid elm]

You are spreading it too

[rustic tundra]

youre the one not knowing about it

[viscid elm]

You're, also you claim Nvidia made statement about it being a real thing yet can't provide anything to actually say it is, all while the only things slop tube says is a random guy on twitter said it was gonna happen maybe.

[amber pivot]

hey uhh just clicked on a link underneath an old LTT video and it sure seemed to take me somewhere sketchy/full of malware/phishing. Am unsure if there is anything useful I can do with this info

[terse kelp]

tyty

wb for a monitor

[sage quiver]

Hey! Sorry to hear that - mind DMing me a link to the video please?

[harsh quartz]

Inb4 it’s a comment

[gilded quest]

it's a dbrand sponsorship

[harsh quartz]

one of dbrands stupid vanity links expired and they lost it

[gilded quest]

I don't actually know but dbrand has lead to lots of amusing links

Very well one may have expired

[harsh quartz]

i wouldnt double it honestly

theyve had so many

hello

[snow pine]

[red viper]

Imma leave this here

[winged spire]

they got the raptor 3s out

[sage quiver]

Incentivizing reviews isn’t inherently scummy, unless they’re specifically incentivizing positive reviews.

[winged spire]

getting the nice plates out for company lol

[red viper]

Read the fine print of the $25 coupon

[sage quiver]

You referring to all the exclusions?

I guess if you need a mousepad…

[red viper]

Literally all accessories but 2 very specific are excluded lol. Which for the record, the picture shown, isn't a single one of them.

[sage quiver]

Damn, they’re FSA eligible? Lmao

Ah, it requires a diagnosis. Makes sense.

[red viper]

I want to be clear, I LOVE this chair tbh. It's been fantastic over these 2 weeks

[modest copper]

Compared to corsair kits it's not terrible lol, ik it's still not good

[winged spire]

James approved

[sage quiver]

Where’s the upside down pillow

[winged spire]

It’s somewhere

This gen has the pillow with the strap

They’re magnetic now I think

[sage quiver]

The real chair reviewers tbh

[red viper]

Yes, and the magnets are STRONG

[winged spire]

secret lab makes good products

their desk is SICK

very expensive though

[red viper]

I just wanted to draw attention to that 25 coupon fine print, it's really terrible, but other than that, 0 complaints

[summer folio]

My friend bought the secret lab table, but they sent him 3 wood thingys by mistake

hes not sure what to do with the extra tabels, since they dont sell the legs separately

[red viper]

I feel bad, I was debating between secret lab and blacklyte (it seems blacklyte is Canadian, and is 1:1 secret lab like) but that recliner add on

It seems secret lab put some serious engineering effort into it, and it looks awesome

[red viper]

Ikea does

[safe mesa]

I have around 650 bucks to build a pc, I live in Germany and can/will buy used, so the thing is I’m Not sure on what to buy used cuz the 5600/x goes used for 10-20 bucks less than retail on Tray, I alr have ram and a 1tb ssd so I need everything else, a rx 6800 costs in between 250-300 bucks and no the 3080 and 6800 xt are only available after 350 bucks used, aesthetics do not matter and I’ll play mainly on 1440p or 1080p.

Weird, so you know crucial is essentially being discontinued, I was looking at their warranty on their website

ii. Limited four or ten-year warranty – Crucial® Basics Memory

Micron Commercial Products Group (Micron CPG) warrants to the original end customer (you) that its Crucial-branded Basics memory products are free from defects in material and workmanship affecting form, fit, and function. For Crucial Basics products sold on or before August 31, 2024, any claim must be made within ten (10) years from the original date of purchase, and Micron CPG shall have no liability thereafter. For Crucial Basics products sold on or after January 13, 2025, any claim must be made within four (4) years from the original date of purchase, and Micron CPG shall have no liability thereafter. Refer to your Product Specifications for details on your limited warranty. Product Specifications can be obtained from the Product packaging, your authorized distributor or reseller and the Crucial.com web site. Any claim alleging that any product fails to conform to the foregoing warranty may be made only by the end customer who originally purchased such product and only while such customer owns such product. Micron CPG, at its option, will repair, replace, or provide an in-store credit of either the original purchase price or fair market value, whichever is lower, of any product that is determined by Micron CPG to be defective during the warranty period.

it's weird because there is an entire period not covered by warranty based on this wording

it says Prior to August 31 2024 -> 10 years

then it says on or after January 13 2025 -> 4 years

but what about between Sept 1 2024 -> January 12th 2025

kinda weird

Hi

[worn carbon]

hey again random ltt chat, discord is ipo'ing soon

per reuters and bloomberg apparently

[gusty remnant]

i have creseted geckos

[uneven stirrup]

RTX 5050 or 1080ti

[viscid elm]

5050

[uneven stirrup]

If you had to choose one and RTX was disabled

[viscid elm]

What like the 5050 was in a wheeler chair?

[uneven stirrup]

Yea, like a 5050 but with no RT cores for example

[gusty remnant]

i feel like the only place a modern XX50 card works is a laptop or something mobile

[viscid elm]

Why not, it uses like half the power and has access to dlss 4.5 and mfg soon 6x

[uneven stirrup]

What’s funny is the GTX 750ti wasn’t even a terrible 50 series card

[gusty remnant]

thats why i specified modern

[uneven stirrup]

Nvidia used to feed us on the low end…

[gusty remnant]

now you are the pigs brother asking for oats

i mightve went to niche with that reference

[uneven stirrup]

indeed

[gusty remnant]

look up "brother may i have some oats"

[uneven stirrup]

Holy niche

[gusty remnant]

i mean it has 13 million views

[uneven stirrup]

yes

[gusty remnant]

it got a video from lessons in meme culture

[uneven stirrup]

But yeah Nvidia don’t give a shit about the low end… 8gb of vram… 12gb of vram for the 5070… like brother what-

Like the 2080ti has 12gb… in 2018… so you couldn’t add more vram in 8 YEARS

[gusty remnant]

my 6700xt has 12 gigs of vram, there has been no progress

[uneven stirrup]

here take 4gb extra vram- Nvidia to the 5080

[gusty remnant]

at least i get above 60 fps in warhammer on ultra graphics

fsr enabled

[uneven stirrup]

Like cards should be coming with 12 min and like 24-32gb high end

The 5070 is more like a 5060, the 5080 is like a 5070, and the 5090 is 5090

[gusty remnant]

ngl imagine if cards still came bundled with games

didnt that used to be a thing

[uneven stirrup]

Imagine if ai never existed to the extent it is now

At least with the crypto boom we gamers still could get cards afterwards… you know what you won’t be gaming on in 5 years a h100… a100… those things can’t game…

I say “can’t” yes there are probably ways to get dx12 working… but out of box they aren’t gaming gpus

It won’t be an ai boom, it will probably be a ai implode cause it might take a whole company with it

I’m just annoyed at how much focus has been lost on the consumer in the last 2-3 years… the consumer may as well not exist cause these consumer company’s don’t care about the consumer, they care about what’s profitable, what makes money… Trillion dollar companies push to AGI

[pallid falcon]

.. why

[gusty remnant]

I mean, it was a meme briefly

[zenith cradle]

have you guys seen this befiore? my PC shut off i think 4 times during this timeline here. just instantly shut off and instantly rebooted.

I deleted omen gaming hub after all this, just now. idk if it's the same. but on startup i got some warning that ''omen did not start propperly'' or something, but not always.

[zenith cradle]

this is the whole thing

[tired glade]

That Omen thing isn't working

[uneven stirrup]

Omen drivers

Go to omens website and install the correct drivers for your laptop or desktop.
