[thorny saddle]

its got a fucking safety trigger

[left dove]

yes let me fumble a safety when seconds count

also what 5nail said

[thorny saddle]

I role chambered P320

in the hood

[left dove]

isn't that ready-1

or whats the term for it

[thorny saddle]

My shit is firing before I am

[dawn tundra]

yea you say that until you've shot yourself in the foot, that safety is known to be unreliable (in select circumstances)

[thorny saddle]

bro tap out

[left dove]

My guy if you're pulling from the holster with your finger on the trigger you are mega rarted

[thorny saddle]

I carry 360 days a year for like 10 years, no glock safety trigger, no accidental discharges, stop

[dawn tundra]

i also hate the "culture" aroud them

[hexed tapir]

but the trigger needs a hug

[left dove]

the trigger gets a hug when I'm ready to fire

[random gyro]

tf

[left dove]

but yeah livery just stop dude you have no idea what you're on about

[random gyro]

peyton vs livery

[dawn tundra]

would rather carry a curve🤣

[thorny saddle]

bro you carry a pencil

[dawn tundra]

i carry my words

[thorny saddle]

like i said

[left dove]

omg what owning a FRT in oregon is actually a misdemeanor

[dawn tundra]

your firearm is last resort

[thorny saddle]

i saw youtube also

[dawn tundra]

father was an rso

[random gyro]

oof

[thorny saddle]

yeah its not a widely accepted thing

[random gyro]

that's a no no

[dawn tundra]

that and my grandfather was military, taught me how to shoot

[random gyro]

back in the day

[dawn tundra]

not army tho lol

[random gyro]

in the trenches

[dawn tundra]

af but still went through boot camp

[swift moss]

88mm for home defence

[left dove]

every branch has a boot camp you fucking melon

[dawn tundra]

correct

[swift moss]

this would be good on my lawn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIpu6vSTWrQ

[left dove]

what is this, why are you responding like it's a test

you're speaking nonsense at this rate

[dawn tundra]

stating my viewpoint,

[left dove]

Your viewpoint is unappreciated in this capacity.

[dawn tundra]

correct however this is an open forum

[hexed tapir]

@left dove can you own body armor in your state?

[left dove]

I think so

[barren breach]

USA? I dont think theres a state that you cant own body armor lol

[hexed tapir]

new york

[dawn tundra]

tbt i'd rather carry a hi point c9 than any glock

[left dove]

I'd probably get like a plate for my sling bag just as an edc kinda thing

[barren breach]

I mean like, it makes sense. But it also doesnt. Lol

[left dove]

you're not even old enough to carry a gun in general so you really have no say in the matter.

[barren breach]

What kinda thought is this?

[left dove]

dude idfk

@thorny saddle you're missing comedy come back

[barren breach]

Glocks are dime a dozen, I get it, but theyre dime a dozen for a reason

Hi point tho? Excuse me?

[hexed tapir]

you can make "3a" body armor with fiberglass welding blankets and fiberglass resin so i dont see a point of banning it in newyork 🤣

[dawn tundra]

nyc is a shithole anyway🤷‍♂️

[random gyro]

Yep

literally trash city

[barren breach]

Is that the only state that you cant? Or just off the top of your head? It quite literally makes zero sense to me. My wife is a police officer, so? What?

[hexed tapir]

i hear they have amazing traffic

[barren breach]

Send them out in a t shirt?

[random gyro]

best traffic ever

no slow downs ever

[dawn tundra]

i hear the homeless dont inject you with random drugs, and people dont just randomy get lit on fire "just for fun"

[hexed tapir]

i think so and its only for civilians

[hexed tapir]

and weird men on the subway dont do fucked up shit to a dead corpse on the subway

[barren breach]

That has to be the dumbest shit ive heard in a minute. I can understand the attempt to outlaw a firearm, even tho I still would think it’s insane, but armor? Like mf what?

[hexed tapir]

defense is illegal

[barren breach]

Double the offense. Take it or leave it.

Lol

[swift moss]

silky optimization LMFAO

[dawn tundra]

well they tried to exorbitently incrase the price of ammo so you couldnt buy any

[peak swan]

Broo the Galaxy S6 feels so nice to use

The battery is ass tho

[barren breach]

Thats not what happened

[hexed tapir]

my grandpa upgraded from that phone a few weeks ago

[swift moss]

1W is ridiculous tho lmfao, probably for all the PLLs

[dawn tundra]

its better now

[barren breach]

Yeah, because thats not what happened lol

[dawn tundra]

but the key word is TRIED

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hitting-head-on-desk-cat-insane-cat-gif-24842238

[barren breach]

They didnt “try” to increase the price of ammo. They shut down factories making the ammo. Supply and demand.

And only some of, not all

[dawn tundra]

doesnt5 mean i don't know a thing or two, but in all truthfulness if you want something high quality , reliable, and will get you out of a spot quick, get a kimber

[left dove]

I'm getting a glock.

[barren breach]

But yet you said hi point over glock. Immediately says you know next to nothing

[dawn tundra]

its not allways about the gun

its about the shooter

[left dove]

saying you like hipoint is like saying you think keltec is the best rifle manufacturer

[dawn tundra]

im saying that i would rather use something intentionally shitty, than something that pretends to be prestige

[barren breach]

It 150% is about the gun when you pick a firearm that costs the same as some eggs, and jams 24/7, over a firearm that is so extremely popular because of how reliable it is. Like what?

[left dove]

dude idk whats with him tonight

[peak swan]

And i just switched to it yesterday because i needed a working camera which my honor 9x didn't have

[barren breach]

COD player at his finest hour

360 YY front flip no scope wit da hi point

East side 7 mile in Detroit

[dawn tundra]

i bet you could be more accurate with that shitty gun, compared to some of these idiots you see at the ranges now...

[left dove]

😂

[thorny saddle]

tell that to the NY subway

[dawn tundra]

thats my point

[hexed tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSAm1XRuPAM $240 for two its what i have, its NOT nij certified and also made in china but allot of people shot test them and the stop 30-06 black tip

[barren breach]

What does this have anything to do with purchasing a proper firearm

[left dove]

also who the fuck tells a potential new gun owner to get a fucking hipoint

[barren breach]

Like fr

[dawn tundra]

i didnt say to

[barren breach]

HUH

[dawn tundra]

this

never recommended it

[left dove]

you essentially did.

[barren breach]

You really did

[hexed tapir]

the only hi point i would buy https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/modern-sporting-rifles/hi-point-1095ts-carbine-10mm-auto-175in-black-semi-automatic-rifle-101-rounds/p/1528920?srsltid=AfmBOoq04Ok5AW6svhQviKO6LQvnXrmKcWeQp0v4nmM5LF4SVAzjOnT6

[left dove]

i saw this, its like a fucked up mini-14

[thorny saddle]

lol hi point

[barren breach]

Yeet cannon best first firearm

[left dove]

oh my god no

[barren breach]

Do you want/need any REAL suggestions, or are you already settled on glock

[left dove]

I'm gonna get a glock 19 and be a happy girl fuck that hipoint shit

idk I honestly need to go to a range and rent a handful of pistols to try out

[barren breach]

Glock is great, just have other ideas in mind to explore if you haven’t already

[left dove]

yeah I'm gonna bombard the gun store guy w/ so many questions

[dawn tundra]

but a real recommendation would be a kimber mini 9

[left dove]

I'm not getting a fucking .45

[dawn tundra]

its literaly in the name

[sonic siren]

A few days ago, there was a promotion for this brand at Java Café.

[dawn tundra]

its a 9mm

[barren breach]

Smith n Wesson M&P series, like the M&P 9, or Sig Sauers P365 lineup, try em both if you can, the P365XL me and my wife have, fantastic compact 9mm carry

[left dove]

[peak swan]

Bruh, I'm gonna have to do the S7 edge battery mod to this S6 because the battery life is horrendous on stock battery

[barren breach]

Wife used to have a M&P 9, also great, just ammo capacity is weak if you care

Super slim and compact firearm tho

[left dove]

I'd rather have more in the mag tbh

[dawn tundra]

or if you want a revolver you could get a taurus judge

[left dove]

I'm not getting a revolver.

[dawn tundra]

ik

[peak swan]

Shits been unplugged for 18 minutes and is on 92%

[barren breach]

P365xl can hold 15+1

[left dove]

ooooo

[dawn tundra]

js saying

get mag savers

[barren breach]

M&P 9 was like 8+1? I think? With a 1 round extended mag to get the pinky properly on the grip

[left dove]

OH BOY what a clearance!!

[thorny saddle]

Yeah I like the P365 XL w/ standard slide

[sleek remnant]

just get a mag spare

[barren breach]

Sigs aint cheap, but theyre great. Glocks youll get way better bang for buck

[dawn tundra]

mag sphere ( is what i first read this as)

[left dove]

Yeah I'm somewhat going for the bang-for-buck route but I'm willing to be sold on something a little more spendy if I really like it

[barren breach]

DEFINITELY check out the used section in most stores, they can have great deals on firearms that are still like new. Sometimes.

[thorny saddle]

I got m y G20 for like $350 it was insane

[sonic siren]

Maybe you need to switch to the Samsung A17. The Samsung S6 is already too old.

[barren breach]

I got a crazy good deal on my Smith n Wesson M&P 40 at Cabelas of all places

[left dove]

Ooooo

[thorny saddle]

no

[barren breach]

Super overkill but youd love the feel of it lol

[thorny saddle]

Romeo on P365 is weird

[dawn tundra]

look if you wanna go there... check out Ruger, they have some half decent b4b pistols.

[barren breach]

Agreed, kinda hate RDS’s on handguns

[dawn tundra]

check gun broker

[left dove]

I will be buying a firearm in-store

[thorny saddle]

I don't mind it but on P365 its too short - paralax is weird

[left dove]

M18's only 650 rn

[peak swan]

I rather not
I've had a few A series devices, luckily i could put a custom rom on them
My only complaint with the S6 is micro usb (not great, but not exactly a deal breaker) and shitty battery life, which can be fixed for 25 bucks

[barren breach]

I hate it for a daily carry specifically

[thorny saddle]

yeah

[dawn tundra]

well most gun stores carry limited stock

[peak swan]

And if i put a ring of magnets on the back, i don't need to deal with micro usb

[dawn tundra]

https://www.gunbroker.com/9mm-pistol/search?keywords=9mm pistol&s=f&cats=3026

[thorny saddle]

lo

@dawn tundra my local gun store has like 1200 handguns in stock

[dawn tundra]

THE place for used guns

[barren breach]

You need to stop talking fr

Talk about something else

[dawn tundra]

shh or ill replace your favorite rifle with an intratec pistol

[pale flint]

only 500?

[sleek remnant]

holy shit its 6am

[peak swan]

No joke, the S6 still has performance packed in
3 gigs of ram does get annoying sometimes tho, but not a deal breaker, just that minimized apps will just not be back to the same state once opened again.

[sleek remnant]

welp pterry fucked

[barren breach]

Definitely try everything you can, find something that suits your hand best, and definitely be sure the size fits your figure for comfortable carry, and DEFINITELY please do not forget to check used. Obviously dont buy something clapped just because its cheap.

[dawn tundra]

@left dove also i hope you know not to get a fs for ccw

it will be a pia

[left dove]

why would i get a folding stock for a pistol

[dawn tundra]

full size...

[left dove]

how the fuck am I supposed to know

[dawn tundra]

bc thats the common term?

[barren breach]

@dawn tundra whats the BEST daily carry, I wanna hear your answer

[dawn tundra]

ideally something, thin small profile, hi cap...

[barren breach]

Google AI taking a minute huh

[dawn tundra]

no lol

[barren breach]

Thats still not really a great answer

[dawn tundra]

i am chosing between a few options

[barren breach]

The answer should have been something along the lines of “what fits your needs”

Because there isnt a correct answer

[dawn tundra]

if i wanted to go cheap i would get a Ruger American, mid range would be a fn reflex ( maybe prob a cz ) high end beretta 92fs (Italian ver w/o the warning. ) super high end prob a Springfield

[pale flint]

get an ak

[barren breach]

M32A1 is the correct answer

[hexed tapir]

ammo aint cheap

we want nato guns

[dawn tundra]

if you wanna have fun get a 22 or a 410

[thorny saddle]

today it is

[gloomy isle]

Is yeesterpaste worth it

[dawn tundra]

i have a Ruger 10/22 charger with an "arm brace"

[hexed tapir]

5.45 is cheap now?

are we allowed to buy ammo from russia again?

[dawn tundra]

i doont think so

wish you could still buy surplus Russian sks's 😭

[hexed tapir]

get china made ones

[dawn tundra]

noooooo

get yugo/egypt

[thorny saddle]

First off.... who is firing 5.45?

[dawn tundra]

stamped ahh sks

[pale flint]

good choice

[dawn tundra]

for stupid reasons i kinda want a luger

god i hate this stupid keyboard

[hexed tapir]

I want this pizza again

[dawn tundra]

(not mine)pic from a place near me, steel city pizza, woodfired (obv), the also brew some there, but i LOVE their cheesy garlic calzones with peperoni

[formal sonnet]

Did someone say... Pizza? 🍕

[left dove]

Oh my goodness please

[dawn tundra]

there was so much cheese in that calzone i almost choked, it flowed like hot butter...

[formal sonnet]

Best I can do for you is... this sad excuse for a "pizza" from a local place whose staff need training...

i didn't even have caps lock on

wtf

do you guys like haggling?

[dawn tundra]

gn to specificaly you

that type of cheese isnt even good on pizza

[formal sonnet]

Haggling... as in, negotiating prices when buying used goods?

[solar moat]

or trading is offen good

[random gyro]

I definitely do on fb marketplace, but only when for example someone was selling a 75 in 1080p tv for 1,000usd and things like that

[wet scroll]

13??? Its 30 here 😭

[pale flint]

bro just threw given stuff on a dough and called it a pizza

[formal sonnet]

That's exactly what I thought too the second I opened the box. I've also had people put toppings on top of the cheese quite a few times. (Yes, I know this is a style of pizza, but it's not how this place normally makes it...)

[limpid dune]

langley is also not real. good point about kamloops tho

toronto is "trono", ottawa is "ottowuh", montreal is "monreal", etc

I'm telling @flint elm you said this.

They don't know how to pronounce words properly then

i've got completely insane vram usage when i just have steamvr open on my psvr2 (via the adapter) and half life alyx is unplayable with how much stuttering there is..

oops wrong channel

[wheat torrent]

What am5 CPU has most lanes, 9950?

[mental plinth]

Depends, I have an Asus Zenbook filled with co-pilot and fuckass Asus apps so I would like them to not be there

[sinful cobalt]

just delete the asus apps and disable copilot

i keep myasus just so i can change the fan profile lmao

[ebon marlin]

All of them have the same amount

The Ryzen 5 7400F has the same amount as the 9950x

[random gyro]

Except 8000 Series CPUs but no one should buy those anyway

[wheat torrent]

I think on intel cpus it's different right?

As in same socket more or less lanes depending on cpu

Compared to amd being same socket same lanes

[ebon marlin]

Atleast on lga1700 the i3 12100f and i9 14900k have the same amount of pcie lanes

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dumb-funny-xd-jump-gif-26346489

Does it make sense

[wheat torrent]

Doesn't the consumer socket also support Xeon cpus

[ebon marlin]

That was ages ago

[wheat torrent]

Its quite interesting but you do see some people use Xeon for gaming

[ebon marlin]

And it was usually a very low end xeon

[wheat torrent]

Mostly old builds I think

[ebon marlin]

Because they're dirt cheap

[wheat torrent]

But man do they use a ton of power

[wheat torrent]

Hmmm, so new sockets don't have Xeon cpus?

I am out of date regarding intel

[unkempt blaze]

Guys, I currently have asus prime 320m-k mobo (no oc on this) with ryzen 3600. i want to upgrade cpu to ryzen 7 5700x. Can I do it without upgrading mobo? I just need the extra cores and cpu power for battlefield 6 and other cpu based games

[ebon marlin]

You should be fine

Just might need to update the bios for the 5000 series support

[wheat torrent]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/236182/intel-xeon-e2488-processor-24m-cache-3-20-ghz/specifications.html

This only has 20 lanes though

[ebon marlin]

Even the lowest end a320 board could support a 5950x at full power

[ebon marlin]

Same as i3 12100f

And an i9 14900k

[wheat torrent]

Yeah this doesn't look like Xeon

Only 128gb ram, only dual channel memory, only 20 lanes

What's the point

8 cores..

It boosts to 5.6ghz though

[solar moat]

its just a 14700k with no ecores

wait it has so little cache

[unkempt blaze]

alright thanks!

[rigid fjord]

you just need to do a bios update, and then you can

[rigid fjord]

nah, there's a few really low end a320's that'll shit themselves

they've basically gotten the best a320 to do this with

[rigid fjord]

yesn't, 8600g and 8700g are worth getting for an apu only builds, their igpu's make them worth it, especially the 8700g

[steel umbra]

8600g’s igpu is meh

[rigid fjord]

shame you asked am5 and not zen5

[steel umbra]

if you’re making an apu system you prolly already had spent a decent sum on the small parts

[rigid fjord]

equal to a gtx 1630, which for igpu's is actually good

the 8700g's is equal to a gtx 1050/1650

[steel umbra]

i mean, yeah not bad for an igpu but still, there are quite few lp dgpus that outperform it for cheaper

[peak swan]

Welp I've been in school for about 3 hours and only now i get roasted about using a Galaxy S6

[random gyro]

Yeah kinda, but then again there are Mini PCs with 7840HS and 7640HS (8700G and 8600G) which are way cheaper than building a whole System with these CPUs.

[ebon marlin]

Weren't you in Finland? Used marketplaces are goldmines here you can get a good phone for cheap

[peak swan]

Fucking dumbas is laughing to himself and took pic of me, probably put on his Snapchat lol

[steel umbra]

it’s just the 8600g doesn’t make a lot of sense, you’re getting worse cpu than the 7400f on average whilst paying more for what’s essentially a $30 performing dgpu

[peak swan]

Yeah, i am in Finland
And i don't mind using an S6 other than the battery life and micro usb
Also it was free

[rigid fjord]

tbh, it's around the same price but with greater upgradability

[peak swan]

Plus android 12.1 that's basically stock runs great on it

[random gyro]

So here in germany a Basic 8700G PC costs around 500€ with the Mini PCs being around 300€ so at least here no

[peak swan]

And i can fix the battery issue with a S7 edge battery because that apparently works in an S6

Altho then again i do kinda wanna buy a note fe, rebrand it to note7 and put a custom rom on it and daily that
But idk what people would think if i did that tbh

[ebon marlin]

I mean, it's your phone

Not other people's phones

[peak swan]

True

But remember the whole note7 fiasco?

[rigid fjord]

even a 8700g is worser performance than a 7400f, but if you're looking at an apu build, you're not fully looking at the cpu's performance and looking towards igpu performance, so you can get away with maximising overall performance while being as cheap as possible

[ebon marlin]

Yeah the explodey phone

[peak swan]

Exactly

[rigid fjord]

with optional fire extinguisher accessory

[steel umbra]

i mean yeah, but if you’re looking into a low power small build, considering cost of all of the other parts it would be worth to just buy the 8700g and skip the 8600g

and if you don’t want a small build, buy a lp dgpu which gives you better performance

[peak swan]

So uhh how funny would it be if i took that rebranded note fe to a trip in a plane and well used it on the plane
Like it wouldn't be a safety hazard but ya know

[random gyro]

https://geizhals.de/wishlists/4690803

630€ for the 8700G PC

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008290092126.html

Vs 320€ 7840HS.

Yes its only half memory, but even then we talking maybe a 550€ PC

[ebon marlin]

Those signs don't exist anymore

There's not any safety precautions either I'm fairly certain either since it's so old and very rare

[peak swan]

True

[peak swan]

Soon there's gonna be that same sign but for Galaxy ring owners because that thing is known to have battery go super spicy and squeeze your finger to great heavens

[rigid fjord]

there's only 2 low profile dgpu's worth getting nowadays that offer better performance

[peak swan]

One of those is a 4060?

[rigid fjord]

yeah, the other is an a4000 ada

[peak swan]

Nvidia dominating the lp gpu market

[ebon marlin]

Yeah saw what happened to this one guy on twitter lmao

[ebon marlin]

Solely due to the fact that no one else really cares due to how small it's market is lmao

[edgy holly]

that was kinda funny asf ngl

[ebon marlin]

Bro just gave his free lawsuit away

Would've had generational wealth

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-dancing-cat-cat-low-quality-cat-meme-gif-1560392174193942318

[steel umbra]

there is also arc b50

[edgy holly]

IKR ???

[edgy holly]

esp with how big samsung is

[steel umbra]

amd and intel do also try the lp market

[stray portal]

Should I get ts

[rigid fjord]

forgot about that one, and not sure on it's performance

[ebon marlin]

You mean the RX 6400 which it's entire purpose is to be a modern gt 710

[steel umbra]

it’s a bit better than 3050 6gb

[peak swan]

So apparently 3gb ram is kinda crap on basically stock android 12 but 4gb is fine on bloated to hell android 10
What's the logic here exactly?
Or could it be that this lineageos 19.1 port is way more aggressive on killing background tasks than emui 10 on that Huawei

[steel umbra]

yez very fire

[rigid fjord]

nah, amd's last low profile dgpu was an rx6400, they're not actively trying when it comes to LP dgpus

[peak swan]

What SoC?

[ebon marlin]

Dimensity 9400 iirc

[steel umbra]

i meant it’s not that faaar off the chart

[ebon marlin]

Nevermind it's 9300+

[stray portal]

Dimensity 9300+

[rigid fjord]

it exists only so people can say " at least it's not a gtx1630"

[peak swan]

I would vote against no in that case, mediatek has only caused me headaches

[stray portal]

on my Cmf Phone 2 pro it works good tho

[rigid fjord]

remember pcie x4 speeds, no encoder, and still out performed a dgpu that's pcie x8 speed with encoders @steel umbra

[steel umbra]

it’s competition

[peak swan]

Well i mean the only mediatek phones I've had were lower end but still, try to unlock bootloader? Pain
Custom rom? Usually none, or very rare

[steel umbra]

better than leaving everything to qualcomm

[steel umbra]

there also was like a rx 5300 and 6300 if i recall correctly

[peak swan]

I mean exynos does at the very least work
Like it's not amazing, but especially older exynos has decent community support

[steel umbra]

same thing, more trimmed down

[steel umbra]

it’s samzung and samzung sux

/j

[peak swan]

Samsung makes decent hardware but awful software

[steel umbra]

recently they started skimping on hardware too

[peak swan]

And well so many Samsung exynos devices have custom roms

[steel umbra]

S non ultras

[ebon marlin]

Samsung has been skimping on hardware for ages now

[steel umbra]

samsung is only good for oled panels

[rigid fjord]

oem only for those, and then again there's also r3 5300g that's a weird in that sense, and great for a cursed build

[steel umbra]

otherwise samsung sux 100000%

[peak swan]

Also again, S6 was more expensive at launch than S25 (adjusted for inflation ofc)

[ebon marlin]

Samsung's oled panels are poopoo

[steel umbra]

S25 feels more like high end A series

[steel umbra]

noooooooooo

[peak swan]

To some degree, yes

[ebon marlin]

Samsung panels and their notorious green line issues

[peak swan]

Still my favorite Samsung phone that I've ever used has to be the A40

[peak swan]

Why have i never had a Samsung phone with anything but amoled, and yet none of them have had green line
Only burn in on some because they have already been used for years

[steel umbra]

i’ve been to a samsung store and their S24 had worse camera than my $300 poco f6 that doesn’t even have the best cameras in it’s class

that’s just sad

i’ve set the cameras to the highest MeGApiXels possible and the S24 non u still turned out to be grainy in the dark

and overall more noise even in lighted environment

and more blurry, shots took longer, seemingly worse post-processing

tf samsung

it wasn’t day and night difference but even the staff agreed the S24 ain’t that gud

[peak swan]

I mean I'm kinda a bit different in the sense that I've always used midrange/budget phones, and usually when they are already a few years old
Now having i think my first flagship (other than a iPhone 4s, but i had that in 2023), it feels kinda decent
But this thing is from 2015, however still a flagship (the Galaxy S6)

Still my favorite cameras are on a Huawei (both hardware and software-wise)

why is the recycling thingy in french

[pale flint]

which one of these should i buy?

[cosmic lance]

cheapest one

[pale flint]

quality is my concern

[cosmic lance]

what quality?

[pale flint]

i know i want the cheapest one 😭

[pale flint]

just dont want the ram to fail or something yk

[cosmic lance]

you could always return it

[pale flint]

that true

alright then i will buy goodram

[cosmic lance]

and if your laptop is always open inside, you can get the TeamGroup one because it looks dope af

[pale flint]

i cant see the ram

[cosmic lance]

then get the cheapest one

Is am4 still worth it for budget builds?

[fallow yacht]

sounds like it works @rigid fjord

[zealous plover]

I have a similar setup except The laptop is on the floor for some reason and cable management is non existent

[ebon marlin]

[zealous plover]

What exactly is that????

What are you shopping for?????

[ebon marlin]

Spare parts

[zealous plover]

for every device you have?

[vestal stream]

Idk

[ebon marlin]

that's not even close to all the devices I have

[zealous plover]

Are they all broken?

[ebon marlin]

Nah

Most are like brand new just those in my order are broken except the iPhone 13 parts

[zealous plover]

I thought for a second that you were building a whole new phone out of spare parts...

[ebon marlin]

Not even enough to build a phone out of that

I just realised I accidentally ordered 2 iPhone 13 screens

I have 3 iPhone 13 screens now but 2 iPhone 13 battereis

[stark kiln]

Yes

[vague gulch]

Can I even do anything with this 11 years old hard drive?
-# Also its actually 500 GB but it's somehow split

[cold skiff]

Yeah

Throw it in the bin

Or if you’re like me you can’t bring yourself to throw out hardware store it I’m a box.

I think I’ve got a 256mb hard drive in there still

[vague gulch]

I'll probably take it to a somewhere where they recycles electronics at worst

[pale flint]

sell it

for 0.1$

actually it can be worth more than that

[vague gulch]

4 dollars at best... I can get Prototype on sale with it

[pale flint]

i mean 4 dollars is 4 dollars

atleat you'r getting something

but i dont think it can be 4

[cold skiff]

I think I’ve still got a raptor drive somewhere in that box also

Those were incredible

[pale flint]

is this goof?

dont look at the price, its free

[vague gulch]

it's a WD hard drive btw

[solar moat]

its ram

[vague gulch]

I've got it from my old laptop

[pale flint]

yes it is

[cold skiff]

It’s laptop ram. It’s fine

[pale flint]

alright

[vague gulch]

I think it has Windows 10 update in it which lagged the laptop like hell

[pale flint]

first i was actually gonna spend some money but then i remember that i had free money to spend but its kinda overpriced so yeah i get to spend less money

i will be left with 70 euros

[cold skiff]

Pizza and beer money that one

only if i could get that money to spend anywhere i wouldnt spend it here

i get to spend it on specific shop

Why?

[cosmic lance]

man steam is annoying

well the thing is i cant do that

[cosmic lance]

this is why you don’t wait till the last minute to do stuff

it’s not a new thing that they hold return funds for a period of time

[pale flint]

yeah

[cosmic lance]

I couldnt do that earlier

[pale flint]

wait for winter sale now

[rigid fjord]

If it was just about zen 5 you could include threadripper and epyc's instead

[cosmic lance]

its not even return, just selling items, they never did that to me before

if steam trusted anyone then it was game over for them

[cold skiff]

Did they all buy BO7?

who would even buy BO7

[ebon marlin]

bruh it's literally just a dollar

[vague gulch]

my current laptop came with 3.1 nvme m.2 ssd anyways 👍 (Idk what the difference is between 3.0 and 3.1)

[cold skiff]

0.1

Duh

[grizzled frost]

the difference is quite small

[pale flint]

point one

dot dot dot

[latent tundra]

I have returned

sorta want to revive my old Nikon Coolpix and Sony Cybershot DSCT2

anyone got a good teardown guide?

[grizzled frost]

that is a great thing to google

[latent tundra]

for Coolpix it's L26 and S6100

[latent tundra]

can't find

at least for S6100 anyway

[wheat torrent]

Ohhhh, what socket do threadripper use I don't remember

[grizzled frost]

most recent threadrippers use SP5

[wheat torrent]

TR4, sTRX4, and sTR5

I like amd naming scheme for sockets

[grizzled frost]

it's even better cause you can have two physically identical sockets that support different chips

threadripper vs threadripper pro

[wheat torrent]

Hmm

Cheapest Threadripper will run you +1000 USD I assume

[grizzled frost]

about 1500usd for the 9960x

low end threadripper doesn't really make much sense unless you really need lots of PCIE

[ebon marlin]

If you go used you can get one for around 100€

[grizzled frost]

that would be 3-4 generations back

[ebon marlin]

For a 1950x..

[rigid fjord]

Cheapest threadripper is around $100 the board for it still goes for $500

[ebon marlin]

damn far cry 5 is 76gb while far cry new dawn is 19gb

[cosmic lance]

hell naw i have to "graduate" next year 🙏

2026

[ebon marlin]

brah Far cry 5's HD texture pack is bigger than Far Cry New Dawn

26gb vs 19gb

also "HD" texture pack

does that mean the textures are 720p with the texture pack

looks the same aswell

[rigid fjord]

fc5 is pretty decent,. can't say anything about newdawn yet personally

still need to grab fc6

[wheat torrent]

[cosmic lance]

FOR 5 WHAT

[wheat torrent]

so for example if you want the MOST amount of pcle lanes

what is the CHEAPEST option you can get

well not the cheapest since the cheapest will probably not be the most pcle lanes

[grizzled frost]

dual socket intel platform from ages ago

[wheat torrent]

so if you have some heavy GPU task

[wheat torrent]

even if the CPUs in questions are old

[grizzled frost]

pcie is pcie

[wheat torrent]

will this matter for the GPUs or not?

so I just assume the ram might be slow

[grizzled frost]

depends on what exactly the workload is

[wheat torrent]

so loading whatever needs to be loaded in the GPU will be slower

but then it will compute at same speeds?

I guess the pcle bandwidth matters also

[grizzled frost]

depends on the workload

[wheat torrent]

amd does not have dual cpus mobos?

[grizzled frost]

not all gpu workloads are equal

[grizzled frost]

they do, but they have terrible value for performance

AMD only recently became really good

[wheat torrent]

agreed

they seem to take more and more marketshare

I hope they dont do any goofy decisions

[grizzled frost]

vast majority of sales nowadays are AMD

only reason intel still holds a large market share is old sales

[wheat torrent]

steam stats released not so long ago and cpus are 32 -> 48% amd I recall

[cosmic lance]

also for laptops

[wheat torrent]

but to be honest most people still use intel because thats what their cpu was

[wheat torrent]

exactly

[grizzled frost]

AMD is also curb stomping intel in the data center space

hard to beat dual socket, 192c per chip systems

[cosmic lance]

will 200+c be able to be one day?

pretty sure 192 is the max that amd made

[grizzled frost]

absolutely, probably next generation of amd epyc

AMD is using less CCDs to reach 192c than they did for 128c

[wheat torrent]

there were some rumors about snapdragon desktop cpus....

[cosmic lance]

3 bajillion dollars per 100 cores

[cold skiff]

September says 42%. I can’t see October

[wheat torrent]

the ampere cpus also caught my attention

huge ass cpu

most of them are old if I recall correctly

its funny how almost everytime I saw an ampere cpu they always have something written with markers on them

[cold skiff]

The thing about the steam hardware survey is the data is completely unverified

[grizzled frost]

desktop ARM kinda sucks

[wheat torrent]

how are the performance of this altra max, is it comparable to any equivalent amd/intel cpus?

[cosmic lance]

so fkin huge

[daring crystal]

⚡️OpenAI and AMD announce a new chip supply partnership to build out artificial intelligence infrastructure

[wheat torrent]

i think the altra max is entry level?

[grizzled frost]

the compatibility with desktop ARM sucks so bad that it's honestly not even worth considering

[wheat torrent]

it must have its usecases?

[grizzled frost]

high efficiency industrial applications

[wheat torrent]

also arent we on a skyrocketing market share for laptop arm cpus?

[cold skiff]

According to the steam survey the most popular gpu is a 4060 mobile…

[wheat torrent]

with the new snapdragon laptops

[grizzled frost]

laptops, yes

laptops are a whole different ballpark though

[daring crystal]

OpenAI saves AMD and NVDA saves Intel

[grizzled frost]

laptops require high efficiency, low power draw

[wheat torrent]

whats the difference then

[grizzled frost]

for desktops it just makes far more sense to give the chips more power

[wheat torrent]

right right

[grizzled frost]

sure the performance per watt is better on ARM, but the total performance is so much worse

in laptops performance per watt is more important, in desktops total performance is more important

[wheat torrent]

what about grace cpus?

when almost all images are 3d model renders then Its hard for me to believe that it even exists

but oh well

[grizzled frost]

those basically just exist to make the nvidia GPUs better

they're like pseudo pcie switches

[wheat torrent]

some images look like they are integrated with the mobos

[grizzled frost]

They mostly are

[wheat torrent]

what are those ports ?

is this even a real image

[grizzled frost]

looks like MCIO

hard to tell if it's a render or not

[wheat torrent]

this is really odd not gonna lie

are those power connectors on the bottom?

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[wheat torrent]

is that a ram stick

a singular one

[grizzled frost]

looks like SODIMM, but i doubt it is

you can see soldered DRAM packages next to the chip

the reason why there's so few images is because most of them are deployed in data centers

the people that buy them don't care what they look like

just how they perform and how they can be integrated into their datacenter

[wheat torrent]

it feels so gatekeept

[autumn frigate]

how can i find my bios version and what type of my motherboard is in cpu -z

[wheat torrent]

data center hardware

[cosmic lance]

bios

[grizzled frost]

why do you have an ES board

[cosmic lance]

Date 31/12/9999

[autumn frigate]

Idk i just buy it on temu

[grizzled frost]

lol

[cosmic lance]

lmao

[grizzled frost]

good luck finding a bios update for that thing

it's not even supposed to exist in the hands of consumers

[wheat torrent]

wtf is a es board

[grizzled frost]

engineering sample

usually used for software and hardware validation prior to a launch

[autumn frigate]

hmmm :<

[grizzled frost]

they usually have limited support

because they're not supposed to be used past launch, and especially not supposed to be used by consumers

[summer token]

Bro got the beta tester product

[grizzled frost]

in the worst way possible

[summer token]

😭 Are those even meant to be out for the public

[grizzled frost]

no, they very much aren't

[summer token]

Sell it on ebay see how that goes

[grizzled frost]

[grizzled frost]

they're not super rare

Bidding starting at 800 dollar

[sick reef]

why do you have offbrand board?

[grizzled frost]

but uncommon, and they aren't in demand

they're just worse versions of the proper product

[autumn frigate]

i buy it on temu

[summer token]

I wonder if there are such things as rare motherboards

[grizzled frost]

there are

there isn't really a demand for them though

[sick reef]

try checking hwinfo

[summer token]

What defines a motherboard as rare?

[grizzled frost]

quantity produced

[autumn frigate]

1 monent i download it now

[cold skiff]

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[sick reef]

basically a r9 fury as itx options

[summer token]

Is the evangelion motherboards limited

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[summer token]

Probably costs as much as the parts you put inside it

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[summer token]

💔

[cold skiff]

A little bit less power on the nano iirc too

[sick reef]

then refrain buying offbrand boards

try entering bios

[cold skiff]

Engineering sample and LHR 3060. Lads an Intel engineer in disguise

[sick reef]

only single 8 pin and 100w less tdp than r9 fury

[rigid fjord]

nah, they bought ebay specials

[grizzled frost]

temu specials actually

[cold skiff]

Proper Chinese crap?

[wheat torrent]

hey

linus made a video about aliexpress CPUs

[cold skiff]

Like I mean the sort where people make 50 boards and then fuck off sort of thing?

[rigid fjord]

aliexpress specials

[grizzled frost]

aliexpress CPUs good, temu specials bad

[wheat torrent]

special cpu type thing

I wouldnt say so

[sick reef]

offbrand boards are problematic for Intel Core and AMD Ryzen systems

[wheat torrent]

it heavily depends imo

[latent pasture]

so all systems

[grizzled frost]

the sort where they buy e-waste by the pound then sell the semi-functional parts to poor shmucks like OP

[sick reef]

even with decade old used Xeon

[cold skiff]

I’d be throwing that board straight in the trash. Probably killing every component slowly as we speak

[wheat torrent]

aliexpress or temu its still from china it depends on what you get

[rigid fjord]

more intel than ryzen

[grizzled frost]

aliexpress is very different to temu

[wheat torrent]

I am sure you can order some dogshit products from aliexpress

[wheat torrent]

you think so?

[grizzled frost]

temu is exclusively dogshit, aliexpress is just mostly dogshit

[cold skiff]

Ali is actually used by reputable companies as number 1 selling platform

Temu is literally, the Wild West

[sick reef]

i have heard about offbrand lga 1700, b450, x99

[wheat torrent]

I ordered a benchcase from temu and its the same case from amazon exact same just that on amazon it costs more

[rigid fjord]

shein truely dogshit tbh

[cold skiff]

Shein is basically cheap clothes

[wheat torrent]

its a sheet of metal with cutouts so there is no way they are not made in the same factory

[fallow yacht]

sup mate

[grizzled frost]

i thought they got cancelled for all the child labor

[cold skiff]

Child labour?

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[cold skiff]

Nike says hold their beer

[rigid fjord]

if only, they're still about

[grizzled frost]

every brand that uses china based manufacturing says hold their beer

[wheat torrent]

on aliexpress you can get some cheap mobo+xeon+32gb ram deals

its odd mobos though

[grizzled frost]

it's a sad inevitability with chinese manufacturing

[sick reef]

i'd rather for e5 2643 v4 or 2667 v4

[latent pasture]

isnt that all of them

[fallow yacht]

double sided tape works well w the extension cord—made it upside down

[latent pasture]

at least in the pc space

[cold skiff]

A 9800x3d was like £260 from a trusted source a couple of weeks ago on Ali

[sick reef]

cuz they has better single core performance than most x99 xeons

[grizzled frost]

2690v4 my beloved

[rigid fjord]

nike went the india route with child labour

[grizzled frost]

it's still child labor, but now they speak a different language

[cold skiff]

Nike was big in Vietnam iirc. Most textiles go Nam for the exploitation

[fallow yacht]

and other non official languages at that

[wheat torrent]

I was thinking of getting a hba card from aliexpress

it cant be bad can it :Clueless:

[fallow yacht]

india has very diverse languages unlike china (still diverse but not that much)

[grizzled frost]

india has so many languages it makes my head hurt

at least in china you can pick one language and be able to speak to 90% of people in the most populated cities

[wheat torrent]

:clueless:

[pale flint]

india doesnt allow child labour

[fallow yacht]

we fixed that in the 🇵🇭 , we use tagalog as our base and made it filipino

[rigid fjord]

actually 50% of the country

[fallow yacht]

although there are cebuanos opposing it

[pale flint]

but adults there work for as little as 100$ a month

[grizzled frost]

in the most populated cities

east coast has a higher rate of mandarin speakers than the rural western regions

[wheat torrent]

it is what it is

[pale flint]

still not a child labour

[fallow yacht]

fuck other language all countries should have 1 national language

[grizzled frost]

india isn’t exactly well known for its functioning legal system

[grizzled frost]

why

there’s no countries that speak only one language

[rigid fjord]

2 main spoken chinese languages is cantonese and mandarin, but there are like 50 or so other "dialects" of chinese also spoken in china

[grizzled frost]

yeah but cantonese and mandarin make up the vast majority of speakers

[pale flint]

well you cant have child labour in factories as much as i know of

[grizzled frost]

in india is much more diversified

[pale flint]

i know there are kids working in mines tho

[fallow yacht]

there should be only one prevailing tho

[rigid fjord]

fukoneese for example is a chinese language but only a small amount speak it there

[wheat torrent]

what about inner mongolia...

[pale flint]

and i know well that people make more kids in hopes that one of them will grow up begging on streets and become rich somehow

[wheat torrent]

24 million population, they speak mongolian

part of china

[rigid fjord]

mongolian language, not chinese

[wheat torrent]

yeah but its part of China

well I guess I got lost in the discussion

but china has a LOT of people, and a lot of languages

2667 v4 combo for 111$ (ebay only)
cooler - 34$
cpu itself - 27$
mobo - 30$
ram - 20$

[grizzled frost]

you can get a 2690v4 for the same price

[sick reef]

single core performance: adios

2667 v4 is better for gaming than 2690 v4

[grizzled frost]

you shouldn’t be gaming on either

[sick reef]

unless cpu intensive gaming

[gloomy sleet]

who is buying terraria 50% off??

its literally £8 normally lmao

[sonic siren]

I have an HP Pavilion 14-D012TU laptop that won’t turn on. Could this be a sign that the motherboard is shorted?

[gloomy sleet]

i love the game so much i bought it 4 times for £8 in fact

[tulip sparrow]

Take the bottom off and unplug the battery and then try and see if plugging it in will turn it on

[sonic siren]

Even when I plug in the charger without the battery, it still won’t turn on.

[fleet kite]

Guys when ever I use mic on my wireless headset the audio quality gets crappy does buying a wireless headset with mic like razer barracuda solve that or what should I do pls answer and thanks for reading

[tulip sparrow]

Only other thing I could thing would be to use a multimeter to check voltages across the board honestly @sonic siren

@fleet kite yeah thats about right LOL it switches modes to a crappy one

[fleet kite]

Does the razer headset work

[tulip sparrow]

AKA it likely switches from headphones to headset mode

[fleet kite]

It has detachable mic

[tulip sparrow]

Which is why I use a sepearate mic

[sonic siren]

I think the motherboard is already damaged. I’ve decided to just keep it.

[fleet kite]

Good ones cost too much

[tulip sparrow]

$50?

Theres also the modmic

modmic is usually cheap and solid

When the fuck did the mod mic become $150?

[tulip sparrow]

I remember it being sub $50

[fleet kite]

What about a headset with 2.4hz receiver

[tulip sparrow]

GO ask in #audio-tech honestly

[rigid fjord]

a good one can be made for $50 tbh

[fleet kite]

Thanks for ur help

[peak swan]

Great... My daily driver got into a boot loop after a faulty ota update

[tulip sparrow]

See if you can boot into safe mode?

I would assume you can "Fix" the boot proccess with a windows install usb but I could be completely wrong

Unless that requires WinPE or something

[kindred cave]

W or L?

[peak swan]

I don't think lineageos has a safe mode

[tulip sparrow]

Talking about a phone never mind

Factory reset then might be your only option

[wheat torrent]

What SSD is that arriving tomorrow

[tulip sparrow]

Getting to the menu depends on the phone honestly

[peak swan]

It could be because i had root and i didn't flash root again

[tulip sparrow]

Its from Teamgroup so its fine

[peak swan]

It's the same android version, so it's either a security patch or bug fix

[rigid fjord]

mp44l from the looks of it

[rigid fjord]

if it was an mp44q nope it wouldn't be

Jesus that’s quick

[tulip sparrow]

5G sucks here at home

[distant frigate]

I would’ve waited longer to do that tbh

5G is still not mature enough. Especially coverage wise

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah this is going to suck for suburbs and rural

[distant frigate]

5G actually isn’t bad here

[wheat torrent]

Nearly 8k USD

Bruh

[distant frigate]

Just outside of my home

I usually get 300-700 Mbps download speeds on 5G here. Occasionally I would get 1,000+ Mbps

There’s definitely coverage gaps that need to be filled in though

[tulip sparrow]

Here's mine

[tulip sparrow]

and that is "5G" with it constantly switching to 4G+

[rigid fjord]

dsl

[distant frigate]

Jeez that’s trash

[low otter]

my phone doesn’t even have 5g

[tulip sparrow]

Told you cellular sucks here at home

[wheat torrent]

Never have I wanted faster speeds on my cellular device

[distant frigate]

One of the faster speedtests here

I am near the cellular nodes tbf. Like less than 0.5 miles

[tulip sparrow]

and this is with T-Mobile

[wheat torrent]

How much do y'all pay

[tulip sparrow]

Lucky you

I just want usable speeds on my cellular device not this garbage

[wheat torrent]

I pay 7 usd for everything

[distant frigate]

If I’m like 1 mile away I would get like 300-600 Mbps download speed

[swift stream]

my 5G is pretty mid but that might be on AT&T or iOS

[distant frigate]

I have the T-Mobile experience more plan

It’s a premium 5G plan. Not the highest plan though

I get 60 GB of hotspot data and unlimited 5G data

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure some apps don't count towards your data on T-Mobile anyways

[swift stream]

i have AT&T unlimited with unlimited hotspot

[wheat torrent]

How much can you call

[swift stream]

i use imessage more

[wheat torrent]

Yes but

How much can you call on phone numbers

[swift stream]

i have a unlimited data and call plan

[wheat torrent]

I see

Surprisingly I can't find unlimited plans here

[abstract wigeon]

college wifi

better than my home wifi lmao

[distant frigate]

Symmetrical fiber. Love it

My home WiFi

I can actually get 3 ms latency to my ISP server but they removed it from Ookla sadly

[plain cypress]

Wifi from the first floor

[distant frigate]

Awesome latency

[plain cypress]

AP is on the 3rd floor

[distant frigate]

Latency in the single digits is really really good
