i can send you pics of the device in dm

[full fossil]

there is like a famous ssd which every streamer has

and its samsung

[full fossil]

ohh alright

[young trench]

bet

[tribal meteor]

What?

[alpine gale]

People are dishonest. The only way to be sure is by physically inspecting it. I understand this isn't always possible, so it really is up to you if you think that risking $500 for something that might be broken is or isn't worth it.

[full fossil]

☝️

yeup

[young trench]

yea, im really keen on making sure its all perfect

but i cant meet him irl

[alpine gale]

Then I cannot recommend forking over that kind of money for a device in unknown condition.

[young trench]

it looks pretty clean

[tribal meteor]

Heh.

[tribal meteor]

Also, why did you DM me for?

[graceful mortar]

..... You dont Say 🤦‍♂️...

I'm about to do a bulk return of $8,000 worth of purchases. I'm tired of all these issues and delays.

I'm not your mama your daddy your cat or your dog, Go play with somebody else.

[tribal meteor]

HGST >>>

[graceful mortar]

That's wasn't really the point it was more about being unhappy with Amazon, this NAS was supposed to be built last Friday.... I had to order another motherboard, I had a power supply start on fire.. I had two DOA HDD due to rough handling and poor packaging in shipping. Then on my most recent purchase, which was far from my largest, it got flagged and Amazon chose to remove all of my cash back and reward points which means now I have a balance of $800 sitting in Amazon and I have no idea what to do with it cuz I'm not planning on buying anything else in the near future...

[tribal meteor]

The hard drives, were they shipped by a third party or Amazon?

[graceful mortar]

Amazon.

[tribal meteor]

You’ll have better chances of getting things on time if the format is like this:

Sold by (the seller)
Shipped by Amazon

You’ll have more issues if the format is like this:

Sold and shipped by (the seller)

[graceful mortar]

And today's They did one of those manual build boxes which sounds like a good idea but they didn't even bother to put it tight to the inner boxes ... so I don't know if these hard drives are any good cuz they were just bouncing around....

I know, I don't order anything shipped by someone other than Amazon

[tribal meteor]

Where are you in the world to have such issues like this with Amazon?

[graceful mortar]

It's because UPS laid off a bunch of workers because Amazon pulled a bunch of business internally. The DSP model doesn't really work for businesses. So Amazon's been using a lot of third-party contractors with FLEX and now fuel just went up 40% and we know from the last time this happened in 2022 that Amazon will wait 5 months and then give 10 cents an hour instead of the multiple dollars per hour that they originally promised to keep people working at a loss...

[vapid smelt]

he lives in hell i mean arizona

[tribal meteor]

I’ve never had issues with Amazon delivery (other than their stupid drivers delivering to my business address at 3 in the morning).

[graceful mortar]

The sky was peeing today, idk why.

[vapid smelt]

wtf is this bull shit its not summer

[tribal meteor]

Here in California, I’m chillin between 40-65°

[graceful mortar]

This is less about the delivery and more about the delays caused by their decisions. The packing is just I mean Amazon literally stated 3 years ago that they had no choice but to lift their you can't work here again anymore practice because they ran out of workers in the metro area for their warehouses...

Amazon's goal for warehouse workers is to keep them 90 days or less.. because they're most productive the first 60 and then they become less productive than Amazon desiresafter that (because the workers realize that there's no upward mobility) so they want them to be terminated and hire in more fresh meat.

For instance when you place an order with Amazon and you get the email about an order being placed they no longer include the delivery date... Because they just randomly will change it and not tell you.

[tribal meteor]

Yeah never had that issue here at all.

[graceful mortar]

It was 89 yesterday 😩

[vapid smelt]

your going to get 120-130 summer frfr

[tribal meteor]

To add in to this, it’s probably because I live close to a fulfillment center (7 miles away).

[graceful mortar]

It's the reliance on the third party contractors here... Mainly because all of the rentals were found guilty of operating a cartel with price fixing so everybody had to have three or more jobs.. any who they do it because you can pay flex for an entire shift $95 ($40 will go to gass, as they will be driving 120+ miles) but if you take that to a DSP, you have to pay them $2,000 if you take that to UPS you have to pay them $10,000.

Back in the Amazon used to use FedEx for next day delivery... It was $20 for a SINGLE A3 box... Now they will put 50 of those into a FLEX route and pay $94...

[graceful mortar]

Oh I KNOW, I think it was over 85° in February 👀

[vapid smelt]

you should get two AC units

one to cool the other so it wont over heat xD

[graceful mortar]

I'm trying to get the one I have warrantied in and upgrading it to a bigger model because it runs continuously so my power bill is like $300 but inside it'll be 87°...

I did find out yesterday... My fridge is done

[vapid smelt]

this i what i dont get about Arizona its legit hell but its not cheap so why live there

[graceful mortar]

Nothing like a $600 grocery run last Sunday to really drive the nail deep ...

[graceful mortar]

It WAS cheap... It was like Los Angeles weather without the ocean and that's why it was a third of the cost... Now it's turning into a tech hub ironically the opposite end of the metro area and it'll probably do fine... Because it will never have that problem that Los Angeles had because they will just keep building out through the desert.

[vapid smelt]

like its still WINTER and your over 85f

[graceful mortar]

Apparently there's like a 8 billion dollar master community that they're building right next to TSMC That's supposed to be like a full-on company town with houses schools businesses, Costco, etc.

[graceful mortar]

Is it??

[tribal meteor]

They still include delivery date on mine.

[vapid smelt]

till march 20th

[cyan prism]

In my part of California, we're gonna reach some high ass temperatures in a few days

[vapid smelt]

us west people got fucked this summer by the lack of winter weather'

[graceful mortar]

Oh no that's right, they'll include the date in the original email but they won't email you when there's a delay. You won't know there's a delay until you go Wait a minute aren't I supposed to pick up my package today and then you log in and so you won't be there for another 2 days.

[cyan prism]

we're on track for temps near or above 90

[graceful mortar]

Oh 💀💀💀💀

[cyan prism]

I'm like shitttt

[vapid smelt]

this is your fucking winter lmao

[graceful mortar]

Ahh, didn't notice that 🤣

[cyan prism]

bingo lmao

[graceful mortar]

Yeah 😬

[tribal meteor]

I’m in the Huntington Beach area.

[cyan prism]

highest I'm seeing for the forecast is 96

[cyan prism]

I'm in Riverside over here

[graceful mortar]

😅😅😅

[tribal meteor]

Yeah sounds like it’s just an issue in your area. I’ve had zero issues where I’m at.

[vapid smelt]

what if arizona new normal winter temps is it being below 100f xD

[tribal meteor]

All my orders in the past have all been on time.

Never seen any delays.

[cyan prism]

lol

[tribal meteor]

Who?

[cyan prism]

what?

[graceful mortar]

Yeah I never understood why people drive for flex ... DSP's pay $6 more an hour ..You're not using your own car and you don't have to pay for any fuel.... So even after taxes and stuff you're making over double.. yeah you could get lucky on FLEX and they don't have anything for you to deliver and they send you home with pay... But that's not very often.

[graceful mortar]

Kinda is.

[tribal meteor]

Where’s Riverside?

[graceful mortar]

Feels like Amazon is praying on that "I'm my own boss" mentality... As they put 80,000 miles on their car in a year.

Well more like 65,000 but STILL

[cyan prism]

in socal?

[tribal meteor]

Yeah, like I said — more an issue in your area than mine. I get next-day, same-day, and overnight services without hesitation from Amazon or any of their delivery services.

I’ve found my service with Amazon to be reliable 99.9% of the time.

[tribal meteor]

Sorry, I only know the beach, Disneyland and the border.

[cyan prism]

Disneyland is hella expensive

[tribal meteor]

Anyways. Scope into my life.

[tribal meteor]

Goddamn

How many processing units is that

[tribal meteor]

🤐

[restive lion]

Fair

[tribal meteor]

Getting too specific now. Lol.
There’s stuff I can share and there’s a lot of stuff I cannot share.

Thanks NDA.

[restive lion]

I remember seeing the Eurovision rig and that was insane

[vapid smelt]

where do they keep mickymouse body?

[tribal meteor]

Some other works. In this instance, visualization and then realtime:

[restive lion]

Iirc they had some 52 processing units or something ludicrous

[graceful mortar]

The Bellagio is better I saw George Clooney and Brad Pitt there once.

[restive lion]

Holy fire1 or whatever y'all using

[tribal meteor]

Eurovision is big, like massive operation.
That’s no joke.

[restive lion]

Yeah it was crazy

[tribal meteor]

Finale3D for viz, FireONE for firing (some FireTek).

[restive lion]

Neato

[graceful mortar]

I miss the volcano at the mirage. That's close to why it will ever get to being on a massive Michael Bay film set. (It burned your eyes)

[restive lion]

Maybe one day I'll get to play with fun things like those

Until then I'm knee deep in the video patchbay

[graceful mortar]

Las Vegas is like Disney for adults no? Or is that Miami during spring break?

[tribal meteor]

And here’s some stuff I’ve done for the school I work at.

Lights seen here are the Mac Aura XB (floor rig) and the ADJ Focus Flex L19 (the fly rig).

[graceful mortar]

Where can I move that's not humid and not hot? And not Alaska, I've been there.

[vapid smelt]

idaho

[graceful mortar]

Patatos?

[restive lion]

Videoland must love you

[tribal meteor]

Used here was the MA3 Light

[vapid smelt]

and micron

[restive lion]

I always wanted to try out the auras, but they're outta budget

[tribal meteor]

I did the video too (see me struggling with the a7RV as the main shot while I have the two a7IV’s on SL and SR, plus the Insta360 X5 for the stage shot).

[restive lion]

I stick with the standard R2s

[graceful mortar]

Idk Abt December tho. I feel like if it's going to be cold you might as well get some snow snow.

[tribal meteor]

Chauvet?

[restive lion]

Yeah I mean they're Fine™

Bright light for cheap

12x of those on a stage is pretty decent

[graceful matrix]

Why so red it isn't so hot

[tribal meteor]

New console plus the implementation of Dante?

[graceful mortar]

Because Idaho.

[tribal meteor]

I’d rather choose the ADJ L19’s over Chauvet’s.
Only downside with the ADJ L19’s is that the take up about a whole circuit power hungry shits.
19x40W fixture.

[graceful mortar]

Here is PHX

[shut lichen]

What kinda of circuit can only do 760W

[tribal meteor]

What you just calculated is just the LED’s, not factoring in the stepper motors. Ideally you’d want to have a few in a circuit. But if you have two of these in a 15A circuit, you’ll either under power the lights or trip the breaker.

[shut lichen]

15A, what is this? A house? Lol

[tribal meteor]

Old theater, needs updated electrics.

[shut lichen]

Sounds very overdue

[tribal meteor]

It really is and the house dimmers are very much overdue, too. You can hear the whine as you dim the house lights up.

The acoustics in that theater is really nice though, so they can’t justify tearing down the building and building again.

@restive lion what console(s) do you work with?

[vapid smelt]

this reminds me third-degree burns from asphalt https://www.kbtx.com/2025/07/24/man-sues-severe-burns-after-officers-pinned-him-down-hot-pavement/

[restive lion]

Oof dlive sorry for your loss

[restive lion]

Not good ones lmao

I've always wanted to learn MA3 but never had the opportunity

[tribal meteor]

Don’t worry, we have a DM7 too

[tribal meteor]

Where are you based in to not have access to one?

[restive lion]

I've done Martin or whatever it's called now (onyx?) vista, lightkey (somehow the one I get contracted for the most, lmao)

A few other shit ones I don't want to touch again (hog)

I refuse to take ETC gigs

[tribal meteor]

Oh hey out of all things you mentioned, Onyx is goated.

[restive lion]

Places without budget

[tribal meteor]

Dylos is so nice.

[restive lion]

Yeah see I never got the use the dylos engine

[tribal meteor]

Sounds like outside the US? Or am I wrong?

[restive lion]

Canada

[tribal meteor]

My condolences 😬

[restive lion]

US production budgets are insane

We still do good shows with the budget we get, but we don't get the nicest of gear

[restive lion]

Instead I got the fuckass "rate/per" thing built into the console without the good FX engine

Awful thing to try and make effects with

Lightkey is one of the most garbage consoles I've used but it's $100 a year and runs on any run of the mill Mac so it's a hot sell in churches up here

[tribal meteor]

I have experience with:

• MA2 and 3, some dot2
• ETC Ion XE, some APEX
• Chamsys (few opportunities)
• Onyx

[restive lion]

I've learnt to abuse the shit out of it lol

No timecode? No problem, I've got ableton

[tribal meteor]

Reaper MTC for budget productions

[restive lion]

Even better

[restive lion]

I refuse ETC shows ngl

I absolutely despise just about everything about that software

That being said if lighting design was my main gig I'd probably not have a choice

[tired glade]

Oh,my Onyx

[tribal meteor]

I half assed this show with ETC

(ETC Ion XE)

[restive lion]

I was in a studio for a student film and there was an etc board in there for the grid, and I chose lightkey to replace it. Tells how how much I hate those things to replace it with a $100 piece of software

[tribal meteor]

I’m surprised Lightkey is still around after all these years.

[restive lion]

It's great for beginners

Concept introduction and all that jazz

[tribal meteor]

Then again, Austin Evans uses the ETC ColorSource 20 for his studio lights

[restive lion]

But my god it's cuelists are the stupidest thing in existence

Who completely ignored 50 years of lighting convention and made those things deterministic instead of additive

[restive lion]

My first board in high school was an etc 72/144

That thing was an EXPERIENCE

My favourite part was trying to find floppy disks to feed it in the mid 2010s

Unrelated but did you know floppy disks are really hard to find

[graceful mortar]

Or from the old metal seatbelt buckles! Remember the old GM metal ones 👀

@restive lion

https://youtu.be/KYRnN57ywy8?t=341&si=IO9lvYmZZTqWL_Zr

[vapid smelt]

hey thats mine

[tribal meteor]

ColorSource 40, not 20.

[graceful mortar]

Oh boy, forget to flip one of those over and hop in the car 🥵

[restive lion]

Are those sky panels

bro if you can afford those you can afford a reasonable board

Maybe he blew the budget on them

[graceful mortar]

Whew it's 1:30 am, I've been mostly productive today. I should probably eat something... I guess "yesterday"?

I have to be up at 7:30 😩

[tribal meteor]

This thing is in conjunction with a floppy (see error message)

[restive lion]

[dimmer errors] is my favourite error message

[graceful mortar]

My fridge spoiled my $17/lb wild AHI Tuna 😭

[restive lion]

The kind where you could already tell because no shit the light ain't turning on

[vapid smelt]

samsung fridge?

[tribal meteor]

To be fair, he doesn’t need all the bells and whistles for the sky panels as they’re just changing colors, temps, and intensity for the most part. The board is fine to an extent.

[tribal meteor]

Had to call ETC to reset the damn thing. Good support on legacy products though.

[restive lion]

They probably make bank off supporting legacy products

Considering that's 80% of their products

[graceful mortar]

No, but same failure. Not enough refrigerant from the factory. And unserviceable... I could probably eat the freezer stuff, it just got "soft" but considering my milk spoiled in less than 4 days .. umm Prolly should stay away from anything that's actually perishable in the fridge. Including the 60 eggs that I bought.

I'm really upset about the Tuna 🤬

[tribal meteor]

We have 50 of the S4’s, 28 of the S4 Jr.
Believe we have a couple of new in-box units as well.

Came across it when I was replacing lamps the other week.

[graceful mortar]

Orange cranberry bagels for dinner.

Threw em in the microwave

[tribal meteor]

This is what we had for lunch at the school yesterday

[graceful mortar]

Our school lunch is not only expensive but it's literally nasty... Like how is a burrito $8 and then the tortilla is gummy? How is three chicken strips $7.99... But the oil is like old and like they're dry and burnt all at the same time??

Or why do I show up at noon and walk over to the pizza aisle and see pizza that's clearly been sitting there for 2 hours??

[restive lion]

Tooobs

I convinced a rental house to give us titans for free

Sick deal

Love these things, they're a massive gimmick but they're such a fun gimmick

[pulsar kiln]

Can't waste money like supermarkets do. That's why

[graceful mortar]

I thought apple didn't seed reviews hardware early??? It's not out until the 11th right?

[restive lion]

I'm gonna see if they'll loan me some hyperions for another gig later this year

[pulsar kiln]

Would be smarter for them to actually sell it at a discount at the school if it's been sitting that long.

[graceful mortar]

No like it's DRY... Literally sitting there on the hot plate looking like it's sat in the fridge all night.

[pulsar kiln]

Does someone buy it though?

[graceful mortar]

They won't, it's still $7.49 a slice

No, I'm starting to think other than the chicken strips and fries I think they make like five of everything and like two pizzas and just let them sit out all day.

The other day I had a chorizo burrito It's really hard to mess up a chorizo burrito..... They messed up the chorizo burrito...

[pulsar kiln]

If someone still buys the shit, then sell it full price why not?

[graceful mortar]

A year ago it was always crazy busy you'd have to wait in line to get your food always jam-packed... This whole year it's been completely empty and I think it's because almost everything went up by $3 an item 🤯

[pulsar kiln]

But if they are ending up throwing it out, they are just idiots

Yeah that's not very smart

[graceful mortar]

They 100% Just throw it out. Hell I think the Mexican bar there's no way that they make that everyday I think it's literally made at the beginning of the week and just put back in to the steam table.

[pulsar kiln]

Ugly system if true. At least discount it to sell it. Supermarkets drive me insane like this back in Canada. They won't even discount shit when it's about to go past the best before date. Instead they throw it in the garbage. No clearance or anything.

And to top it off, people starting realizing that and dumpster diving and grabbing the plastic wrapped stuff out of the garbage. So now the supermarkets lock the dumpsters😑

[graceful mortar]

Yep by law here, It's considered stealing if you take it out of the dumpster.

[pulsar kiln]

The smaller stores are smart though and do mega discounts

I'd pick up like a kg of lean beef for $4 at the small market close to me.

Just throw it in the freezer and use whenever. My freezer got so full of meat I had to stop buying

[graceful mortar]

I know that like bath & body works, the required to literally smash all of the bottles before throwing them into the trash.

[pulsar kiln]

I ate for nearly 6 months without buying any meat.

[pulsar kiln]

These laws are just ridiculous.

[graceful mortar]

How did you make it last a MONTH??

[graceful mortar]

Well it's not really a law but the store could prosecute you for stealing because it's still their property and even when it's in the trash can it's not the property of the company they contract to take the trash out... .
And they do because people won lawsuits after getting sick from eating food out of the trash or if somebody grabs something out of the trash and then we sold it to somebody else in the original store got sued.

[pulsar kiln]

A kg was about a week for me. Maybe more

[tribal meteor]

Free like yours to keep?

[restive lion]

No I wish lol

[tribal meteor]

That’s vile.

[tired glade]

Also, remember, ration can change with context

[graceful mortar]

Oh OK, I thought you were saying you made the kilogram last a month I was like how lol

Bro out there making McDonald's mcdouble 1/10 lb patties and stuff

[pulsar kiln]

Yeah I know. Idiotic stuff

[pulsar kiln]

No, I meant the whole freezer of discounted meat I had bought at less than half price I made last 6 months.

[graceful mortar]

Ohhhh that makes more sense

[pulsar kiln]

I kept buying, and then I was like, I can't fit anymore in here, I need to eat this lol

[tribal meteor]

This is what I’m planning for our upcoming worship night lol

[restive lion]

clearly, how bad are they at maintaining a website if it takes a whole ass minute to load it

[pulsar kiln]

About as good as most cloud giants these days like Amazon, Cloudfare, Microsoft, Meta, etc

Almost weekly outages at this point.

[brazen relic]

what a joke

[pulsar kiln]

It's getting so common it barely makes the news anymore

[brazen relic]

even AI-based outages suck, I remember when outages were human-based
that one time when some facebook tech messed up a DNS config and basically took facebook down from the face of the world for 12 hours
hilariously, the domain became available for purchase when that happened somehow, not sure how that was a thing but it got obviously reverted

when an outage happened, it went down epicly

none of that "commit & revert" bullshit

[pulsar kiln]

That wasn't even that long ago really. Maybe a couple years

[brazen relic]

hmmm I have a feel it was longer than that, no?

lemme look it up

There’s something truly poetic about a landlord being so incompetent he can’t put the eviction notice on the right door

I was like wtf I’ve paid rent before noticing he had the wrong fuckin door

<@&750150305383186585>

[dusky jacinth]

I forgot that happened.

Thought it was crazy too just how integrated their services were into the rest of the internet as well, forcing people to have to use something else to get into anywhere they were using it for logins at.

The radius put us just where the car wanted to bog, so you really wanted to try to get on the gas a little bit early to get the turbo to light on exit but it just kept lighting right before there was enough traction.

the crazier thing was how integrated their own services were with their own buildings, and their own access control, with absolutely no fallback... and having to resort to buying sledgehammers to get doors open to get to server rooms to fix the issues

[indigo zodiac]

Hi

[heavy depot]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mCMwV4 what do you guys rate this build

[long briar]

I rate it a "if it performs well for you, it's good" out of 10

I don't understand why people seek validation for their purchases after they've already purchased it

But seriously, if it performs well enough for you then it's a good computer.

[vapid smelt]

Would be better if the ram was dual channel and the SSD used TLC nand over cheaper qlc. But with the market you can't really do much

[heavy depot]

sorry if it came that way i just wanted someone so critisise it and say something i might have been able to change because i dont know a lot about pc parts

its the best way to learn more about pcs

[heavy depot]

definitely true the ram is a bit of mistake but it wont make the biggest difference at 1440p and with a x3d cpu tbh also for the ssd im not completely sure on which one. do you have any recommendations?

havent bought the ssd

[long briar]

Oohhh my fault for coming with that statement then. Unfortunately a lot of times people asking "rate this build" rather than asking "what could I change?" are just trolling and putting whatever they Wish they had

in that case I agree with what coopa said, there's not much you can do nowadays

[heavy depot]

yeah i understand what you mean. I was just trying to improve my builds as ive only bought the ram gpu cpu mobo which are highlighted as "purchased" and was looking for improvements on the rest of the parts

[heavy depot]

yeah im more than happy with what i have tbh

[long briar]

the build will do - DDR5 has the benefit of being technically two subchannels per dimm, which means that the deficit from single channel is not as harsh as Ddr4

[heavy depot]

yeah thats makes it not as bad but i dont really worry about the ram anymore ive already bought that and its past its return date

[long briar]

And, being single dimm you can probably push it to 6400MT/s

yeah don't worry about it

[heavy depot]

thats cool

idk if that would make a difference tho so i wont really bother

but il play around with some oc stuff when i get the full build

@vapid smelt you see that dope electric motor that got announced recently

[fossil frost]

technology has existed for about as long as humans have existed... when people say "technology" they dont realise that wrapping a rope around a stone to swing it into an animals head harder... is also technology

I'm shocked that people are complaining so much about the Neo and forget that we had dual core Celeron 1 gigahertz processors in Chromebooks... And weird mediatech things that ran at 1.3 GHz...

Before somebody says yeah but Chromebooks weren't that expensive They actually were the vast majority of people were buying $400+ Chromebooks.

[stark summit]

hiiii

[finite spear]

Finally ditching telstra after being stuck on these speeds.
Just ordered starlink
I'm willing to save $10 to get over 1,300+ times the speed

Ethernet

[vapid smelt]

only 8gb of ram no upgrade options, but i do think its a better options for school that have chrome books becuase of apples long OS support

[vapid smelt]

im shocked you where able to upload a img xD

[finite spear]

Using phone data has been ok, when I was using the pc the other night when it was KINDA working it still took like 10-15 minutes haha

[vapid smelt]

we pay for 250 up and down but get 600-800 depending on the day its a great problem to have

[alpine gale]

I'm reporting you to your ISP for stealing speeds!

[grim belfry]

Those $400 Chromebooks aren't for consumers, they're for schools

Of the few Chromebooks I have seen in the wild they have been more premium ones

Maybe it varies regionally

Oh nvm I'm an idiot you're talking about USD

[winged spire]

"up to 600" service

You need some ridiculous hardware to even use 2.5+

W ragebait.

I can get up to 2.5 with my setup, so that isn't the issue unfortunately.

True for 2.5+ though.

That would be expensive af.

The eero 7's are great, especially with the IoT stuff I got connected to it.

I still kept my old router from the old home as a secondary network since I run a photo lab. The printers are already configured on this network and I do not want to go through all the trouble of reconfiguring everything.

what happened to pcmr discord, its always leaned a bit toxic but not even #build-help is productive anymore.

Yeah m4 pro 12C wasn't cutting it. Since I was losing $900 to sell it after ~4 months, risking a 14C pro to get 48GB ram didn't make sense. M4 max only came with 36GB so had to go with the big M4 Max to get 64 GB
[I had 24GB ram but was using 20GB of swap daily]
Went from 64GB to 128GB because Apple is by far the cheapest way to get RAM right now.

Was taking 30 minutes to do music separation in audacity. Intel took 4 minutes. I'm coming from a 14900hx+ 4090. Was aiming for 10% below that level of performance.

But my new m5 MAX is slower than my M4 pro in Matlab benchmarks .... Might have gotten a dud.
45% slower in 'low power ' and 20% slower in 'high power' ... Soo idk. Kinda worried going from 8 performance cores down down to 6 (current theory based on utilization)
Shouldn't get less performance for 2-3x power consumption... Something is off.

I was gonna use handbrake to transcode my 30TB media library ... But based on some playing around I did yesterday, that's not gonna happen, couldn't get it over 30fps.

[fossil frost]

music seperation?

[graceful mortar]

Wifi 7 is being weird with its speeds, steam kept dropping out when trying to local install from the Mac. Still had issues on my 2.5gb thunderbolt.

Into the Mac was fine, limited by 14900HX e-cores at 100% to 1.1gbps. couldn't get it over 300mbps the other direction, regardless of connection type, making it drop back to ISP (hit my 1.2TB limit 3 days into billing cycle)

[graceful mortar]

Yeah, splitting drums, vocals, etc

ah ok.. i couldnt tell whether you meant that.. or just pulling the audio track from a video... was gnna say, the 2nd one shouldnt take minutes or hours.. it should be fractions of a second on either system

[graceful mortar]

yeah...

[fossil frost]

not touched matlab since my ex-wife was at university, 22 years ago.. and she didnt know how to do it for her maths degree.. so i spent an evening earning it, completing her homework, and doing her coursework for the module all in 1 night.. then it all immediately left my brain forever

[graceful mortar]

here is in high performance. m4 pro 12c is 29-20. note the power consumption 0.0

now yes big chip = thirsty, not what i'm pointing out ... thats is 2x the m4 pro and performing 10% worse

[graceful mortar]

i dont use it like THIS, its just a fairly stable benchmark. could increase the grid and get more resolution.

i was planning on "low power" away from charger (kinda required on max chips) but looks like apple is DUMPING ipc to try and find battery (what i was worried about when i heard about the tri-core product stack and no e-core on pro and max) looks like they are avoiding the "super cores" vs just taking advantage of V/fq curve like they do on m4 pro.

in AI yeah its better .... damn should be $5,400 mechine (2.5x cost).... i havent had it 24 hrs but need to do more testing. this does have the good version on apples keyboard (my m4 pro has the stupid air keyboard 🤮) .

i also didnt realize you coldnt downgrade to sequia.... tahoe has some issues with multi monitior.

oh and no fan control yet.

looks like the 12 "performance cores" cumulatively are worse than 8 P-cores on m4 pro just based on #'s, and not more efficient than old p-core power capped.

Correct, 12 performance cores, 6 "super(M5)" cores

[gilded quest]

The performance cores are a new middle ish core

[graceful mortar]

Yep

[gilded quest]

I think it's like how ARM has X/700/500

X/700 are closer but 700 is usually a smaller pipeline and less cache

Ok a basic overview

Qualcomm also have oryon like L and M or something but idk the real difference

[graceful mortar]

Yeah apple has been wishy washy on them, and said something like old performance cores, but more efficient in their review guides.

Their IPC especially when power limited are substantially worse then the old p cores power limited, even though there are 50% more of the new cores 🤔

70 seconds vs 42 seconds. M5 max vs m4 pro (12C) respectively.

I have to do more testing, I also thought the extra media engine and 150% more GPU would do better in hand rake transcode, I need to dig deeper in this

Damn

[silver sun]

778

[sleek bear]

hi

[echo path]

yea that's definitely not normal

you should try some other benchmarks or stress tests, and then take it to apple

there's the 30-day warranty

[harsh quartz]

did they bork a refueling attempt? I wonder if theres already fatigue since its been nonstop for the past two weeks

[graceful mortar]

yep, 4 week lead time on replacements though :/

[graceful mortar]

they lost a Stratos??

how tf

[harsh quartz]

Stratos?

[graceful mortar]

Stratotanker

[harsh quartz]

Idk, it says that two planes were involved, it didn’t involve either friendly or non-friendly fire, and the tanker didn’t make it but the other craft landed, sounds to me like a refueling incident

[graceful mortar]

its an old school non fly by wire 60 yr old plane.

[harsh quartz]

What about it

Most of our big planes got that description

He’ll, even the b2 which is one of the more “modern” planes is from the 80s :p

[graceful mortar]

shes the oldest tanker, and first jet tanker.

i believe pegasus is FBW

[harsh quartz]

Oh god I didn’t realize the lancer was also 80s. Do we fly anything big that’s younger than 40 years old?

[graceful mortar]

proably mechanical failure. 2013 was rudder

[graceful mortar]

no, because they dont see that many actual flight hours

[gilded quest]

The pilots

[harsh quartz]

Those aren’t big

[graceful mortar]

i mean .. the gulfstream 💀

[harsh quartz]

It’s still 25 if you count the A series. What are those even used for?

[graceful mortar]

Ghostrider is probably the closest you will get to "big"

[harsh quartz]

The Pegasus is 2015, that’s young enough

But it seems like most of our Air Force runs on 40+ YO aircraft

[graceful mortar]

no because its 767 which is 1981 lol

[harsh quartz]

Oh, Kek

[graceful mortar]

liek a NEW NEW? idk c5?

ghostrider is 5th gen c-130

[harsh quartz]

It’s just funny how much of our equipment is so much older than most of the people operating it

[graceful mortar]

yes, fighters take all the budget

[harsh quartz]

Navy is on ships from the 70s, army using tanks from the 80s, Air Force using aircraft from the 50s

[graceful mortar]

Abrams replacement is coming... thanks to that leak on thrunder whatever

[harsh quartz]

So it’ll be here in 20 years and they’ll make 5 of them

[graceful mortar]

we tried LCS ... best to stick to what we know XD

[harsh quartz]

And don’t forget the trump class battleships

[graceful mortar]

its hated so much there is on IN the gulf next to iran, they tried to throw them away and congress said no 🤣

[graceful mortar]

ironically .... wouldbe ideal RN .... well until a big enough missle hit

jetskis with IED is a real threat rn

[harsh quartz]

I haven’t follow the LCS controversy too much. The zumwalt is pretty funny though

[harsh quartz]

Yeah we saw what happened with the Moskva

[graceful mortar]

stress fracture when used at contracted speed, alumium failure, costs INSANE. not effective in modern battle

[graceful mortar]

that the cargo ship they intentionally hit high to not sink, but show force?

[harsh quartz]

No that’s the Russian flagship sunk a few years ago by Ukraine missiles

[graceful mortar]

ohhh

time to throw some fresh diesel in Iowa, new jersey, Missouri, and Wisconsin. BB 61 - BB 64. iran will be so confused

[graceful mortar]

can you imagine how excited he woudl be?

[shut lichen]

The US don't tend to send a non-functional ship into a war

[graceful mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-robinson-i-think-you-should-leave-you-sure-about-that-gif-22429959

[shut lichen]

Yes I'm sure, the nearly trillion dollars per year isn't for nothing

[winged spire]

Brother we are flying the fucking u2 in Iran

That mf is close to 90 years old

😭

[graceful mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-barnacles-funny-gif-gif-14509494416451968887

[shut lichen]

If you have some actual counter argument, go ahead

[winged spire]

500 of the 600 toilets on one of our aircraft carriers broke literally 2 days into the conflict

[shut lichen]

toilets

[winged spire]

If you can’t shit you can’t fight

Obviously

[shut lichen]

You can shit off the side of the ship, or in the 100 functioning ones

[winged spire]

😂 no point in talking to this guy bruh

There were hour long waits for the toilets

You can’t just shit off the side of an aircraft carriers 😂😂😂

[graceful mortar]

u know what they need rn?

[harsh quartz]

…..why?

[oak pier]

100 bathrooms for 5000-6000 people, makes perfect sense

[winged spire]

6250 people Sharing 100 toilets

[winged spire]

Yeah it’s totally fine lol

I really wanna know what failed

[graceful mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/sr71-gif-21318293

[shut lichen]

Also they didn't send it into the war broken, it broke 2 days in 😉

[oak pier]

jim in maintenance pressed the wrong button

[winged spire]

What is so detrimental that it can disable 80% of the toilets on board but not all of them

[graceful mortar]

BBY girl woudl be perfect for this "event"

[oak pier]

My guess would be those 100 remaining toilets were on an entirely separate sewage system to the rest

[harsh quartz]

Why are there so many commas in this

[shut lichen]

Plumbing issues on boats is common even on brand new ones

[oak pier]

AI moment

[harsh quartz]

It’s such a weird issue :p

[oak pier]

pretty hard to compare boats to aircraft carriers

[winged spire]

That poor crew has been on deployment for like 11 months now

[hot tartan]

i, don't, know, man, must, be, some, weird, AI, thing

[winged spire]

I think it’s the longest deployment since ww2

Navy atleast

Something like that

[oak pier]

AI saw that people were associating the oxford comma with AI and took it to the extreme

[graceful mortar]

soo officers quarters work fine?😛, and honestly a water line, OR because it wasnt used to so much sudden flow, proably disloged a huge chunk and clogged teh down pipe during the after PT poo sessions.

[shut lichen]

You'd think with how many carriers they have they'd rotate them jfc

[hot tartan]

the steak and lobster fucked up them toilets

[winged spire]

Oh I lied

Its like 8 or 9 months

[oak pier]

Couldn't have been anything relating to it "not being used to something", we haven't made a new aircraft carrier in years

[graceful mortar]

well they get "fixed" eventually. like 3-4 yrs after the fult is discovered. until then youu bypass the safteys and roll on.

[winged spire]

Either way Long ass time to be without solid ground

[shut lichen]

I think you're missing the point

[winged spire]

A 2020 General Accountability Office report says the Navy has a temporary solution to clean the pipes with an acid flush, which costs $400,000 each time it's used.

I’ll do it for 20k 🤷

[harsh quartz]

I have comments but it’s stretching more towards politics

[shut lichen]

The Moskva was used with its air defence disabled and like only one missile launcher functional, it came out of maintenance like this

[harsh quartz]

Also this is awfully designed if true

[shut lichen]

Why was the air defence disabled? Because it interfered with the fucking radio

[graceful mortar]

they do, but its expensive to drive them about. so they tend to stay out a while, also i think the NATO events ment they couldnt get back and rotate?

[winged spire]

And it probably cost us millions lol

(Taxpayers)

[graceful mortar]

800 Poos at once from people not used to boat water could have increased the brown flow.

[oak pier]

They do get rotated periodically, but the crew rotates far more often than the ship does

[oak pier]

Even if it was the newest carrier in the fleet, there's no way it was teh first time that happened in 9 years

[graceful mortar]

ohhh is this THAT carrier? teh one wher ethey misunderstood gravity?

[winged spire]

Sounds like it’s suction based

[harsh quartz]

Yes but the original point was it doesn’t matter how good the ship is, one missile getting through is enough.

[winged spire]

Not gravity

Wouldn’t wanna lose access to the toilets during rough storms

[shut lichen]

Missiles don't get through when your air defence works along with the air defence of the other ships in the fleet around you

[echo sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-catastrophic-yapanese-gif-13513208407930173397

[winged spire]

It’s not as simple as a normal commercial system that’s for sure

[graceful mortar]

proably to keep the seal from damage. forgetting handles get knocked all the time "this will reduce the parts replacment by 1/4" proceeds to increase parts replacement by 4X prior

[oak pier]

Yeah there's not a whole lot you can do to take down an aircraft carrier

[winged spire]

There’s all sorts of things to consider with boats, I’m sure ballast is an issue too

[oak pier]

By the time you have launched something at the carrier, the strike team surrounding it has been locked onto you for a while

[harsh quartz]

They can, or a drone boat, or a torpedo, since apparently we’re using those again now. Saying it can’t happen because it hasn’t yet is definitely a stretch

[winged spire]

That mk48 torpedo is wildly effective

Only 5 mil a pop

[oak pier]

pretty cheap considering military pricing

[winged spire]

Better than launching 4 million dollar rockets at 30k drones

[echo sluice]

What are u gonna launch a torpedo at

[shut lichen]

well yeah of course the US have the capability of taking themselves out

[winged spire]

Look up the video, it launched the entire back half of the ship out of the water

[oak pier]

The iranian navy, oh wait...

[graceful mortar]

BROTHER

[winged spire]

It blew up an unarmed Iranian navy ship so kind of a warcrime(?)

[oak pier]

Do what now?

[winged spire]

There were no weapons onboard

[harsh quartz]

It’s a good torpedo, but it just feels weird using them again now

[winged spire]

The mk48 torpedo

[oak pier]

Unarmed, and Navy Ship seem a bit contradictory

[winged spire]

The ship it hit was unarmed

It was returning from a military exercise

[graceful mortar]

nah we just wanted to see what AI would do with a torpedo.

[winged spire]

With India

[shut lichen]

And? It's a navy ship

[winged spire]

It was a warship, but it was unarmed per the rules of the war games it was playing in

[oak pier]

Technically it's not a warcrime because it's not a civilian vessel, and it's also technically not a warcrime because the US never formally declared war
That said, it's still very immoral

also good luck prosecuting the US for warcrimes

[winged spire]

Well yeah

[graceful mortar]

this is just an "event"

[winged spire]

Good luck prosecuting anyone

[shut lichen]

It's a very poor choice to let an enemy navy ship go just because it's unarmed now... It'll be armed later and coming for you

[graceful mortar]

tho BBC does a 15 minute report every day with a summary of events

[oak pier]

The US gets away with a lot because who exactly is gonna reprimand the US military complex

[graceful mortar]

but ....

[winged spire]

Or you could capture the ship? Lmao

[oak pier]

It's a pretty trivial thing to disable an unarmed ship without destroying it

[shut lichen]

Or you can torpedo the ship and not risk the lives of your people

[graceful mortar]

so because Titantic, britinic, Olympic could be used later you sould sink them with 6,000 souls on bored.

[winged spire]

https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2018/09/1200/675/16-0118-surrender.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 here’s a picture of when Iran captured a US ship and those are American troops being taken in

[shut lichen]

Those were not navy ships

[oak pier]

Was this when the US proceeded to wipeout almost the entire iranian navy?

[graceful mortar]

designed for troop transport

[oak pier]

Or am i completely misremembering

[oak pier]

Mail transport*

[winged spire]

This was 2016

[harsh quartz]

It’s a navy ship in a not war that was well outside combat theater, it’s definitely questionable but at the end of the day, it is a warship, not flying a white flag or a Red Cross

[graceful mortar]

troop transport in times of war. thats why the govermnet insured the loan to build them.

[oak pier]

There was a previous instance of the US wiping out some middle eastern navy for a pretty minor action

[harsh quartz]

Don’t touch the boats

[oak pier]

my brother in christ, you could make that argument about literally any civilian ocean liner of the time

[winged spire]

Thinking the only option is killing everyone onboard or doing nothing is really funny

[harsh quartz]

Also if your referring to Pearl Harbor, it’s doubtful that could be considered minor action

[oak pier]

It's a pretty trivial thing to disable an unarmed ship without destroying it

[winged spire]

Like damn please don’t be in charge of literally anyone ever

[winged spire]

Not you

[shut lichen]

Japan isn't middle eastern and they didn't wipe out their navy for it

[oak pier]

No no no, there was some instance of an act of aggression near the persian sea, to which the US responded by obliterating the entire country's navy

[shut lichen]

Its a good way to show your force, you hurt them but you don't hit anything on land

[harsh quartz]

Oh yeah I definitely didn’t see middle eastern there, just the bit about wiping out the navy

[oak pier]

The US fire bombed japan repeatedly in one of the largest bombing campaigns in history when they touched our boats, their navy was fine-ish

Oh and the dropping two atomic bombs, but those actually caused less deaths than the firebombings

[harsh quartz]

Their navy got their shit rocked in that war, Watchu mean

[fossil frost]

FYI... the atomic bombs were 2 of the lesser destructive things that the USA did to japan

[oak pier]

It wasn't because of some minor act aggression though

[fossil frost]

the firebombing of tokyo killed more people and destroyed more property, than both atomic bombs combined

[oak pier]

Oh and the dropping two atomic bombs, but those actually caused less deaths than the firebombings
AHEM

[harsh quartz]

Well, no, that’s why I was saying I wouldn’t call Pearl Harbor minor, but you weren’t so we’re in agreement :p

[shut lichen]

lesson: don't touch the fucking boats

[fossil frost]

sorry, missed that you had put that 🙂

[shut lichen]

Especially the boats of a US that isn't even officially in the war yet

[oak pier]

Just don't touch the US in general, we are historically not the most well tempered of countries

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/boat-mart-martincitopants-bean-beans-gif-21954615

[harsh quartz]

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to fly anymore

[oak pier]

This is not a "oh US cool" thing, it's a criticism of the US's military complex and overuse of aggression

[oak pier]

In their defense, it was not yet seen just how fast the US could recover from a catastrophic loss

[harsh quartz]

Don’t touch the boats, or the US, or look at us, or own anything we want, or tweet mean things, or etc… etc…

[oak pier]

The US just happened to be willing to fully commit the entirety of it's manufacturing capabilities to rebuilding

[graceful mortar]

no i mixed up my WSL ships. Teutonic and Majestic were supported by UK goverment fund because they woudl eb designed to be converted to armed cruisers.

[oak pier]

and don't be named greenland

[oak pier]

That makes a lot more sense

[fossil frost]

tbh, the worst thing the US has done recently is the sinking of the iranian ship that was just on its way back from india, under the protection of india, guaranteed by india not to enter the fight... and then the USA leaving all the survivors to drown... all sailors are legally required in more or less every country, including the USA, to aid survivors... wasnt just an act of war, it was a seperate act of willful murder for each person on board of the iranian ship

[north escarp]

[harsh quartz]

Yamamoto is always interesting cause he kinda did see this coming but couldn’t do anything about it other than try his best, and try he did

[oak pier]

Every country is required to render aid to combatants no longer able to fight, that is a requirement under the geneva convention, which the US signed

[shut lichen]

tbf you can't aid survivors form a submarine, India should've helped there

[north escarp]

How did we get here lol?

[winged spire]

That’s what we were talking about

[north escarp]

I mean i know how we got here, but to this convo

[winged spire]

lol

[fossil frost]

yep, but its even more specific for sailors

[oak pier]

The tangent became even more tangential

[winged spire]

.

[harsh quartz]

Realistically the second strike on the “drug boat” was probably worse but it’s the same DOW directions

[fossil frost]

ah ok, ive joined late in the conversation

[harsh quartz]

We’ve talked about a lot of things

[north escarp]

[oak pier]

Yeah cause with ground combat generally if you stop attacking them, they can kind of recooperate, if you stop attacking a sinking ship, the people are still likely to die

[harsh quartz]

This is the longest I’ve seen pub chat stay on a topic

[winged spire]

We could talk about sea lions

[fossil frost]

i would say that the number of people on board would make the iranian one worse.. but both are murder, not engaging an enemy combatant

[oak pier]

it's the autism in us, we're all nerds for military topics

[long briar]

fr

I've been lurking this is amazing

[graceful mortar]

or say you disagree with some one, or state cause and effects, or be that british reporter who asked a geuine question and get told to let me stop here

[oak pier]

Yeah the US really doesn't have a great reputation for being sensible rn

[harsh quartz]

The Iranian one is a war ship at least, and not civilians. Both are terrible actions by a DOW ran by criminals

[graceful mortar]

i think vaporizing ||speedboats without anty actual verification or intent, people/cargo on board in international waters||

[winged spire]

And then posting the video on Twitter is crazy

[fossil frost]

also, i keep forgetting the DOD was renamed to DOW.... its proper pathetic school ground shit like that, that is wrong with the USA... everything has devolved to school yard children, shit stirring

[harsh quartz]

Yeah that’s what I said, except there’s one where they did a double tap when there were survivors

[winged spire]

Y’all seen the clips that USCENT keeps posting?

[harsh quartz]

This is the most transparent they’ve been, like they keep telling us. They rename it DOW, and then start creating wars, who could’ve seen it coming

[fossil frost]

doesnt mean its not school playground type bullshit though

[harsh quartz]

What, is epic furry not cool enough for you

Oh that’s not what that’s meant to say

[fossil frost]

i laughed when i saw that name on the news

[harsh quartz]

But it’s funnier this way

Honestly it didn’t even strike me as odd because it came from that man child running the Dow, I didn’t realize till I heard someone else focus on it how bad it was

[long briar]

the only clip I've seen is the rich kid with all the toys but nobody wants to play with him

[winged spire]

They were posting like Wii sports edits of them bombing things

It’s crazy

[north escarp]

Wii sports is fun

[graceful mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/sottomarino-mare-oceano-oceano-atlantico-sink-gif-15830951

[fossil frost]

i would say "at least hes only there for just a bit under 3 years now"... but that assumes hes ever going to leave.. he tried his best to not leave last time.. he wont make that same mistake again

[graceful mortar]

we have a literally deparment of defense whos job is to intercept

[harsh quartz]

Department of Wii

[north escarp]

Me, you, I lose at bowling.. its a good time, tear it up on boxing and tennis though

[graceful mortar]

all teh social media cordinators are gen z reddit trolls fr fr

[scenic charm]

Here's something yall haven't seen before, a hdd with corrupted firmware

It's from 2018

[north escarp]

Have you tried to lick it

[harsh quartz]

He’s already talked about 1) how to get a third term 2) federalizing elections 3) having federal military at polling sites and 4) pushing the save act

[north escarp]

[scenic charm]

My house isn't grounded that'd hurt

[scenic charm]

I flashed new firmware on the drive and all of the issues are gone

[north escarp]

Well thats good at least, odd that it corrupted though. Isn't very old

[fossil frost]

had to repair a bad firmware drive previously by buying the exact same drive again from ebay and swapping the PCB

[graceful mortar]

eating? not so much.. sinking? yes that pic was for you

[harsh quartz]

The sealion is weirdly good and the ship is so awfully terrible

[scenic charm]

It would even fail to spin up the platter correctly

new firmware fixed it

[north escarp]

Happens

[fossil frost]

he can suspend all elections if he declares a national emergency, which he is currently trying to provoke

[graceful mortar]

i didnt give it a good prompt

[scenic charm]

Luckily for me it was working enough for seagate's tools to just flash new firmware

[harsh quartz]

Like the 17 previous national emergencies

[snow magnet]

That's wild

[scenic charm]

YOU

hello

[snow magnet]

Ello

[winged spire]

They also leaked their new tomahawk with forward swept wings

Nobody has been talking about it

[snow magnet]

OH WAIT YOU

[scenic charm]

:3

[snow magnet]

:3

[north escarp]

They are crazy for that

[graceful mortar]

adding to Netindos Lawsuit

[north escarp]

Lmao like what

[winged spire]

I need more info

Weird as fuck tomahawk does it go like Mach 50 😭😭

[scenic charm]

Time to copy my OS to that drive because the internal drive of my optiplex is dying

[graceful mortar]

we do that here?

[scenic charm]

I have to repair windows constantly because it just kinda forgets

[harsh quartz]

Again the sealion is fine and the ship is just so so bad

[scenic charm]

my hdd has dementia😭

[snow magnet]

No my RAM 😔

[harsh quartz]

Speaking of AI stuff though, have yall seen the corridor digital AI keying tool? An actual good use of AI for once

[north escarp]

Myte be time to back up and get a new drive

[winged spire]

Yeah it’s sick as fuck

[graceful mortar]

i got 128, but its making sealions... well 55GB is

[winged spire]

Open source too

[fossil frost]

im not 100%.. its something i read on the UK news recently, that if a "critical national emergency, like the country is currently under sustained attack" then he can suspend elections and assume control of all 3 branches of government

[scenic charm]

It's getting an ssd when I upgrade my t480 to an nvme

[north escarp]

Can't say im familiar

[graceful mortar]

i know ukraine has that clause

[winged spire]

https://youtu.be/3Ploi723hg4?si=dy94YfOPoM-qcRVN

[harsh quartz]

There already been follow-up videos of people comparing it to other tools and suggesting modification or how to include it in existing workloads to making the keying process easier and it’s so cool

[fossil frost]

the uk has it (or at least used to.. was last used during WW1 and WW2 )

[harsh quartz]

https://youtu.be/abNygtFqYR8?si=OP_pArcbFAst-VA6

[graceful mortar]

finally chose an art style that makes sense

[winged spire]

It’s a tool to remove the background on greenscreens and it works super well even with transparent objects

[harsh quartz]

Good to know that AI just can’t make a ship, at all :p

[winged spire]

It removes the greenscreen from the water in a cup

And all the green reflections you’d normally have

[harsh quartz]

If you like VFX stuff at all I highly recommend corridor digital, but they’ve made a cool tool that makes green screen editing way easier for small creators

[north escarp]

Ill give a fallow always cool to learn

Also myte tie into making animations in one way or another if doing motion capture

[harsh quartz]

The second video I sent he actually did a test with a white hoodie in front of a green screen, and the corridor key didn’t fully get rid of the green, but he ran another tool afterwards that’s specifically designed for that, and together the two did a basically perfect key

[scenic charm]

It was either bitflip, cosmic ray or the Pharaoh's curse

Yes this is an reference :3

[harsh quartz]

Yeah they’ve done a few mocap videos a year or two ago
