[fair quest]

Anyone here used the I5-14600KF?

Thinking about upgrading to it

[gritty panther]

I actually preffered samsung QD oleds (mainly because of glossy screen) but it wasn't on sale

matte WOLED monitors are fine too.

[rose stream]

D a m n .

[gritty panther]

I've seen all of them on display. they all look good. as long as it's OLED lol

I want this so bad. it's on sale everywhere

[carmine yew]

unless it's a fair bit cheaper than the K, don't get the F

[gritty panther]

igpu is always useful for server things. I hate those F cpu's.

more than enough for Plex too

[carmine yew]

if you save 20 bucks on an F sku chip? It's not worth it.

Buy the K for 20 bucks.

If it's 40 or 50? Well, that's a different argument.

[rose stream]

I've seen them... It's just...
There's Prussia and other options out there and I can't stand to settle on just one option worth considering. There's so many and it makes me afraid to go with just ONE only.

[carmine yew]

What are you upgrading from and to?

[gritty panther]

it was cool to hate on bambu for a while but after buying Elegoo (Centauri Carbon) I actually realized they're actually better than most of the chinesium companies. A1 mini getting 4X AMS support blew my mind

[fair quest]

I3-12100F -> I5-14600K

[gritty panther]

go bambu. they're a good option imo. no bias

[carmine yew]

solid upgrade.
What's the savings over a 14600K (non-F)

[gritty panther]

huge upgrade.

[fair quest]

Virtually 0

Both are ≈190

[carmine yew]

do not get F

[gritty panther]

with that was an i3 12100F had an IGPU

coulve made an amazing server CPU

[fair quest]

Big difference or?

[carmine yew]

F means it has no i-gpu

[gritty panther]

12th gen i3 is one of the goats for cheap NAS/homeserver too

[carmine yew]

you cannot run a box on that cpu without a dedicated GPU (or the know-how to run headless)

[gritty panther]

it idles at 2-3w. amazing

[exotic valley]

currently printing a iphone case rn

[fair quest]

That doesnt really mayher for me though

[carmine yew]

it does the first time you have to troubleshoot something

[snow inlet]

when is 8 cores not gonna be enough?

[fair quest]

Valid

[exotic valley]

i would say bambu is def a go-to for someone who dont wanna maintain their printers everyday

though im more of a creality person cuz im broke

[carmine yew]

already isn't enough for a number of tasks.

[gritty panther]

I printed a case for my S24 ultra. used it for a long time!

[versed coral]

So i want to create a kvm setup with my windows pc, macbook air m2 , 2 monitors, keyboard mouse and usb headset. Would this do the job? https://www.amazon.com/BuyTESmart-2-Port-Dual-Monitor-KVM/dp/B0D4FCR8K1/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JFlDimrfh8NxQ6-00VwxXvSDkLfQoXx5j6AjuxEmsTfRQ_7VUPZhj2QhGrx_fSOrZ_--P6-gTO4kjKXiJAfS0r7pBm-Ek0idYs1YsAlKCfo._vclP7hh1iSsLbUXMiVkWshktBXGvAp0eqmw6mPzLd4&dib_tag=se&keywords=BuyTESmart&qid=1761659906&sr=8-5&th=1 Or do you guys suggest other products since this only support 144hz

[gray sorrel]

Sup

[snow inlet]

so I need to get 9950x3d vs 9800x3d?

[carmine yew]

depends on what you're doing. Asking a question in a vacuum is useless.

[snow inlet]

I know there is not concept as future proofing but it should last me longer?

[gray sorrel]

Uh

Is this regarding response or latency

[gritty panther]

my s24 ultra cse hehe

I used a fancy juupine plate with the pattern thingy

[delicate egret]

Hey, I have an ROG Maximus dark hero z690 that is displaying code 55 which is ram, but I’ve swapped the ram multiple times between DDR5 slots and it’s still displaying that, do you guys know of any fix? The ram works and is fine in my other motherboard

[exotic valley]

woww that looks alot nicer than what im printing. great skill

[gritty panther]

it was decent quality. I used it for a while. used 95A TPu

[snow inlet]

VMs, gaming and containerization

[carmine yew]

most likely yes, there are already games out that will use all the parts of an 8 core CPU.

If you're doing VMs? You fuckin' want all the cores you can get.

[gritty panther]

you can see the pattern better with a video

cool stuff

[exotic valley]

yeh im printing mine using 95a tpu as well, however its gonna be pure black and not aesthetically pleasing as yours

[carmine yew]

TPU is 100% what you'd want for a phone case

[snow inlet]

thanks bro

[gritty panther]

it's gonna look sick.

I decided to buy my case for the Fold 7

not comfortable using a printed one.

it was too fancy lol

bought a $20 one that was pretty much what I was looking for.

[gray sorrel]

dunno why you’d mention either considering both are garbage

[snow inlet]

how to finnese a good ddr5 ram?

[gritty panther]

buy asap

I heard it's gonna get worse. OPENAI has like 40% of the nand supply

[ebon marlin]

thanks Google

[carmine yew]

on ryzen 9000?

Get decent 6000 or 6400

[gritty panther]

6000 1:1

[left dove]

just log into your modem

[gritty panther]

anything higher is a bonus.

[ebon marlin]

I was searching for my public IP

[carmine yew]

some can do 6400 1:1, but that's up to some luck

[snow inlet]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1801354-REG/silicone_power_sp032gxlwu60afdg_32gb_2x16gb_zenith_ddr5_6000.html

[gritty panther]

yep. my 9950x3d was like NOPE.ONLY 6000 1:1 for you

[left dove]

yeah you'd get your public ip by looking in your modem's webui, specifically in the WAN or connection category

[snow inlet]

the goat is here

[gritty panther]

depends on the IMC you'll get

[carmine yew]

6000 cl30? Solid

[gritty panther]

96gb kit too. not bad eh? I bought it for $290 months ago

[snow inlet]

is cl30, lower better right?

[gritty panther]

Im so happy seeing them so expensive 😄

[ebon marlin]

I'm setting up port forwarding in my router rn

[carmine yew]

yes CL lower is better

(Going below 30 currently will JACK the price up tho something bonkers)

[snow inlet]

what is thr other num such as pc510000 or something like that

[gritty panther]

I tried posting a zentimings screenshot but the app won't launch lol. whyyy

[left dove]

My ram gets here today and that means I can build my pc :D

[snow inlet]

I know you got a cartel plug, sign me up bro

[carmine yew]

that's a rating that manufs use that doesn't really meany anything we care about

just look at the MT/s and the CL and other timings

[gritty panther]

bought my kit like 5-6 months ago? lol it was so cheap back then

I think it's close to $500 now. yikes

even microcenter removed the RAM on their bundles.

[snow inlet]

yep

[gritty panther]

probably wasn't economical to include them anymore

[carmine yew]

yeah, RAM's going up, it sucks

[gritty panther]

CPU and GPU prices are getting better. they need some other way to mess with us

[snow inlet]

but that silicon power is a good brand?

[gritty panther]

yep

chinesium but decent.

I've used it before. they're reliable (atleast for me)

My server has two 2TB Silicon power SATA ssd's. they just "work".

[snow inlet]

nice perfect

any other recome?

[carmine yew]

Anything that's a reasonable price

Brand name doesn't matter much generally

[snow inlet]

RGB?

[carmine yew]

personal choice

it just adds 10-30 bucks to RAM to get RGB

[snow inlet]

hell yea, just kidding

[kindred halo]

What do Christmas sales on Newegg look like?
Specific bundles / Christmas offerings, or general % sales for items, or?

[next hill]

Hey, was watching videos and playing today, when heard pc sounds. Its a buzz like coil wine but not constant, almost like a laugh. Could i be from fans or psu?

[frigid blade]

Your pc was laughing at you?

[next hill]

Idk how to describe the pattern otherwise

[abstract wigeon]

hate european plug sockets

[next hill]

As a european, i love them, they so simple

And proper

[frigid blade]

And they say the same about American ones, you can never make anyone happy

[abstract wigeon]

british are the best

they are secure and solid

[gritty panther]

yall dont know the struggles of 120v

[dapper light]

Sounds like you just got a shitty terminal

[frigid blade]

What struggles, you can get 240 if you really need it

[dapper light]

The full sized F plug is the best

[gritty panther]

my 3D printer dryer takes like 1 hour 10 minutes to get to 65C. EU version takes 5 minutes. wth

talking about Bambu Lab AMS Pro 2

yep. 120v sucks so much it's insane

[dapper light]

Chad Euro Plug
Two prongs
Reversible
Smaller
Still grounded.

[gritty panther]

I have 240v in my house. only for the AC. everything else is 120v

[dapper light]

UK ones
Chonky, takes up space, can't even reverse it

[latent gull]

type f stands for fuckin bad

[frigid blade]

If you have a 20 amp circuits you can get up to 2400 watts per outlet, that’s what we did

[proper gull]

Complicated garbage, type I FTW

[dapper light]

The UK plug glazing is so forced

[frigid blade]

Instead of the regular 15 amp that get you 1800 watts

[dapper light]

Bro it's two prongs. It can't get simpler

Type F is the closest to USB C in the electrical world

[proper gull]

you're forgetting all the weird shaped plastic around it

[latent gull]

type b is the best cause its a little face

[tired bear]

chad cee 63a (43kw)
when you need to charge your phone FAST

[latent gull]

type k is also acceptable as its also a little happy face

[dapper light]

Type F works with Type C and E too

[abstract wigeon]

maybe it’s the hotel

[dapper light]

Literal peak design

[abstract wigeon]

wrong reply

[dapper light]

UK plug glazers are the same one who'd rather use firewire over USB C

[gloomy sleet]

not really

[latent gull]

who here is glazing uk plugs?

[abstract wigeon]

they are objectively the best

[gloomy sleet]

i would

[abstract wigeon]

tom scott said

[dapper light]

Appeal to authority

[gloomy sleet]

ive literally never heard a valid point against it

[proper gull]

Yeah no... A 20 amp circuit doesn't magically make you able to draw 20 amps put of a normal outlet, you need a 20 amp one which is beefier, and of course a thing to plug into it that has the matching plug

[abstract wigeon]

triangle strongest shape btw

[latent gull]

its just a worse US plug

[gloomy sleet]

how is it worse though?

us plugs dont even have switches

[latent gull]

cause the US one is a little face

[clear canyon]

US socket is grumpy, therefor best outlet shape

[latent gull]

i mean, they can, thats not really a thing against it

[gloomy sleet]

not having switches on every plug was a massive culture shock i get EVERY time i go outside the uk

[gloomy sleet]

i meant not all of them

[latent gull]

that doesnt make your plugs better though thats just a choice

[gloomy sleet]

a choice we made thats better

[latent gull]

but it doesnt change the socket

[dapper light]

The switches are not related to the plug

You can have switchless UK socket

[frigid blade]

I think it’s pretty obvious that you have to match it with the outlet rated for 20a, it’s the same plug type, I can put my phone charger in both

[gloomy sleet]

no you cant

its legally required

[latent gull]

it doesnt matter, thats not the socket

[dapper light]

Not related to the plug's standard

[gloomy sleet]

it is

[latent gull]

its fucking not

[gloomy sleet]

you quite literally cannot have a plug that doesnt have a switch here

[dapper light]

It's like saying apple's usb dongle is part of the phone

[latent gull]

that does not change the DESIGN OF THE SOCKET you muppet

[gloomy sleet]

no its like saying the power button is a part of the phone

[latent gull]

either way clearly he cant defend the socket so we can assume he has no way of defending it and has to derail the convo to something else to make up for it

[dapper light]

It's a government requirement
Not the plug characteristics

[latent gull]

the uk socket sucks

[gloomy sleet]

the switch is only one part of the equation

[dapper light]

I can make a switchless UK plug even if it's illegal

[gloomy sleet]

me when ground pin

[latent gull]

the switch is NO part of the equation when talking about the DESIGN of the socket

[dapper light]

The switch is more of an add on

[gloomy sleet]

it is part of the equation in terms of safety

[proper gull]

The UK socket sucks purely because it's design makes it want to face upwards when on the ground, and then you stand on it in the dark

[gloomy sleet]

not really?

most of the time the pins face down

[dapper light]

UK plug is super overrated

[latent gull]

again, safety code =/= design of the socket

[gloomy sleet]

no its just good

[dapper light]

It's bad in so many metrics

[gloomy sleet]

again not one point against it has been said

[gloomy sleet]

in what metric?

[dapper light]

Big
Non reversible

[latent gull]

stupid looking

doesnt make a face

[gloomy sleet]

these are not good points tf

[dapper light]

Size and reversible is absolutely important

[gloomy sleet]

are us plugs reversible?

[dapper light]

EU plugs are

[latent gull]

most yes

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/chuckles-the-clown-dnd-gif-7199959581989019233

[gloomy sleet]

oh eu plugs?

theyre fucking terrible

[dapper light]

They're much more compact
And Reversible
And compatible with Type C and E

[latent gull]

type B and type K are the only good sockets

[dapper light]

And only two prongs

[gloomy sleet]

literally every time ive had the displeasure of using an eu plug it has fallen out of the socket

[dapper light]

Blame the manufacturer

[gloomy sleet]

fully plugged in after a couple hours it will just fall out

[dapper light]

You can make a shitty UK plug too

[left dove]

uk plug is just naturally shitty

[gloomy sleet]

never seen a bad uk plug

[left dove]

"but it has a fuse in it!!" headass

[dapper light]

Also you're talking about the Type C variant

[gloomy sleet]

again i repeat not a single good point

[latent gull]

all of them because the socket sucks

[dapper light]

The type F one can lift a literal PC with how much grip it has

[gloomy sleet]

but why

[left dove]

hot

[gloomy sleet]

wdym hot

[versed coral]

So i want to create a kvm setup with my windows pc, macbook air m2 , 2 monitors, keyboard mouse and usb headset. Would this do the job? https://www.amazon.com/BuyTESmart-2-Port-Dual-Monitor-KVM/dp/B0D4FCR8K1/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JFlDimrfh8NxQ6-00VwxXvSDkLfQoXx5j6AjuxEmsTfRQ_7VUPZhj2QhGrx_fSOrZ_--P6-gTO4kjKXiJAfS0r7pBm-Ek0idYs1YsAlKCfo._vclP7hh1iSsLbUXMiVkWshktBXGvAp0eqmw6mPzLd4&dib_tag=se&keywords=BuyTESmart&qid=1761659906&sr=8-5&th=1 Or do you guys suggest other products since this only support 144hz

[left dove]

not you, dingleberry dan

[latent gull]

no faces in it

[gloomy sleet]

thats a fair point

[dapper light]

"Muh fuse"

the RCD in question

[gloomy sleet]

-1 to the uk plug

[latent gull]

not dingleberry finn?

[dapper light]

Expensive

[frigid blade]

Why am I catching strays

[dapper light]

You can make an EU plug with a literal fork

[left dove]

dingleberry dan just rhymes

[frigid blade]

I know

[left dove]

I also like nonsense insults

[gloomy sleet]

this isnt a good thing

[dapper light]

OK not literal fork

[left dove]

lateral fork

[dapper light]

I mean
You just need two prongs and a wire

[gloomy sleet]

the fact you can actually unironically hurt your self with a plug socket is one of the wildest things ive ever heard of

[dapper light]

RCD

[left dove]

you can hurt yourself with anything you donut

you can hurt yourself by drinking too much water in one go

[gloomy sleet]

(i meant electrocute)

[left dove]

hell, you can hurt yourself by straining too hard when you poop

[frigid blade]

Why do you know that

[left dove]

its how elvis died?

[hallow jasper]

who doesn't know that

[frigid blade]

Idc about Elvis

[dapper light]

Unless you're alien pretty sure everyone has had a bad shit before

[gloomy sleet]

no?

what constitues a bad shit?

[frigid blade]

I’ve never strained myself too hard trying to shit tho…

[left dove]

everyone knows elvis died on the shitter eating a pb & bacon sandwich

[gloomy sleet]

ive never had a shit kill me before?

[clear canyon]

its common sense, just like how if you push to pee, you will weaken that little wall that keeps your pee in over time causing issues when you get older

[dapper light]

Look at fancy pants rich McGee here never having constipation

[left dove]

I've had a shit make me pass out before, but then again i also had a GI infection

[gloomy sleet]

not even that he had a pb banana and bacon sandwhich every day

[frigid blade]

That is not a normal experience bro 💀

You people are really going crazy on the toilet huh

[left dove]

when you gotta go you gotta go

just wait until you have a bad shit after some sketchy food

[frigid blade]

Bro I’ve had worse but I’ve never passed out

That’s crazy

[left dove]

I think I passed out from pain or from vasovagal overstimulation

either way, not fun :D

[frigid blade]

Yeaaaaaa I've had bad shit but I don't think I ever got horrible shit like that one

[frigid blade]

My phone is actually slowly dying with each update

This 12 mini did not age well

[gloomy sleet]

neither did my 13 mini

[dapper light]

Still a okay.

I enabled 85% charge limit since week 2 iirc

[gloomy sleet]

i dont have that luxury unfortunately

[tired bear]

wdym

[gloomy sleet]

my phone dies throughout the day with no way to charge it usually

[left dove]

get a battery bank

[dapper light]

I always carry a 20k mAh power bank regardless so it's not worth degrading 3x faster for a measly 15%

[gloomy sleet]

if i dont charge it to 100% before im usually just fucked

[gloomy sleet]

ive had 3 and they all stopped working after a month!

[proud cosmos]

Guys

[dapper light]

Charging to only 85 is something you do early

At 77% health you are already cooked

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[proper gull]

What garbage were you buying?

[left dove]

stop buying shit ones, what

[gloomy sleet]

i reckon i could use this phone for another year though so its good

[tired bear]

nah, carry a backup phone
phone died? no problem there is a second one in the pocket

[dapper light]

I don't like the hassle of two phones

I prefer one fancy one than two shit ones

Can't afford 2 fancy ones

[tired bear]

why not replace battery on it

[tired bear]

i carry 2, one is private, one is business

[gloomy sleet]

powerbank 1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Portable-PowerCore-Essential-Technology/dp/B0D4MD1GSY? and powerbank 2: https://uk.ugreen.com/collections/power-bank/products/ugreen-uno-magnetic-wireless-power-bank-10000mah?

[dapper light]

Dual Sim and parallel app

[gloomy sleet]

i forgot where i got the 3rd one

[tired bear]

born to android, forced to ios tho

[gloomy sleet]

they both died within a month

[left dove]

you're supposed to recharge them, you know

[gloomy sleet]

yes

by died i mean died and wouldnt charge again

[dapper light]

Tf did you do them

[proper gull]

So you abuse your things?

[gloomy sleet]

i used them?

i used the ugreen one 4 times

[dapper light]

My 20k bank is approaching 2 years old

[gloomy sleet]

i used them then charged them when i stopped using them

[tired bear]

anker severly disappointed me first time i bought powerbank from them
it was a 20k with 2 cells in series design and NO BMS it swelled up after a 2 year and couple of months (just outside warranty)
never again

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[tired bear]

btw if you use magsafe you have to buy 50-100% larger battery as qi charging is inefficient af

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[gusty wagon]

Did amd release new gming carfds

[gloomy sleet]

the 13 mini is like 2400mah lol

[gusty wagon]

Oh yikes

My Plus is 4300+

That's double the battery

[gloomy sleet]

i might get a new phone soon anyway

maybe next year

[tired bear]

https://www.baseus.com/products/blade2-smart-power-bank-65w-12000mah
this one is neet if you carry around a laptop and a bag for it

[dapper light]

12k too small

[tired bear]

20k also exists

at 100w

[gloomy sleet]

the xperia 1 vii seems pretty good

kind of annoyed they havent made a 5 series in the last 2 generations though

[south arrow]

Energiser at bb still has some solid options

Snagged 3 of their 30,000mah ones

[tired bear]

[gusty wagon]

Can i bring a steam deck overseas

And how long would the battery last

[gloomy sleet]

who the fuck needs 90k mah of power???

[tired bear]

same as in your country lmao

[latent gull]

i dont see why it would be different than a laptop but thats a question for the airline

[gloomy sleet]

i think they mean without charging it

[south arrow]

Mostly for outages/disasters should i need alittle extra juice. A good generator is also on my list eventually

[tired bear]

ask people who buy battery generator

[gusty wagon]

No as in how long does a steam deck battery last

[gusty wagon]

I'm going to mainland next year

[south arrow]

Not be a theorist but realistically my area is due for a decent flooding

[gloomy sleet]

i wonder if the steamdeck is classified as a console or computer

[latent gull]

i dont know what this means

[gusty wagon]

Mainland

[latent gull]

are they not all considered the same on an airline? electronics devices

[gusty wagon]

M-a-i-n-l-a-n-d

[south arrow]

Rather prepared then sorry

what the fuck are you calling mainland

[gusty wagon]

Dalu or mainland

apparently its classifed as a handheld personal device

unlike a laptop which is a personal device

[azure topaz]

taiwan numba 1

[latent gull]

mainland taiwan*

[azure topaz]

true

[tired bear]

you mean west taiwan?

[latent gull]

but also there are so many places called mainland

[gloomy sleet]

its the same classification as a phone so does that mean i can keep it in my pocket?

[azure topaz]

yeah thats just my best guess

[gusty wagon]

In tored after anight out with friends and i'm have showered and dome with launcdry but otherwise i'm okay becaize done my final presenatatiln for my entied univerxitg yetserday morning

[azure topaz]

mainland china is typically how your hear it called ig

[gusty wagon]

Monday*

[azure topaz]

but im a taiwan believer myself

[gusty wagon]

Yes

[left dove]

get sleep you can barely type lmao

[gusty wagon]

No worries i can go on for naother 20 minutesd wirhojt going to sleep

[latent gull]

yeah, but ive also heard the European continent and the continental 48 states called it as well

[azure topaz]

yeah

[gloomy sleet]

i dont think you can ngl

[left dove]

girl go to bed

[gusty wagon]

We can face the insomnia demons together

[tired bear]

or literally anyone who lives on a island reffering to big land mass

[gusty wagon]

Sleep with one eye open

[south arrow]

XD

[latent gull]

which is kinda my point :P

[gusty wagon]

How long does the steam dekc last when i am in mainland becaue i'm goong there next year in early summers

[gloomy sleet]

how long does the battery last?

[gusty wagon]

Yes om a full battey charge

[gloomy sleet]

thats a pretty vague question

[gritty panther]

steam deck OG or oled?

just play lighter games it will last forevever.

[gloomy sleet]

assuming og sd like 2 hours to 8 hours

[gusty wagon]

Like because i won't have my devices or my vpn with me and my friends are going to be like jsut eating the entire day and i have 1/4 the appetite that they do so i'm trying to find an option to get myself entertained while i'm waiting for them

[gusty wagon]

Yes

I haven't bought one yet but the steam deck looks good price used

Lemme just pull up some

[gritty panther]

Steam Deck is the best deal in gaming

it's 3 years old. still amazing

[tired bear]

get a 20k powerbank (99wh) and it should be good for a while

[gusty wagon]

Oh theere is one in inhere for 370u sd

[tired bear]

it is also highly dependant on type of game you play

[gusty wagon]

Is a 99wh powerbank triple-C certified for flying there?

[tired bear]

100wh is the limit for battery size on flights

buy one that supports usb pd atleast 45w for max charge speed

[gusty wagon]

https://www.trip.com/guide/info/china-power-bank-limit.html

I think i

[gusty wagon]

Sleep well cutie

[left dove]

yessss go sleep

[tired bear]

same shit as other countries just this 3c mark needs to be on powerbank itself which i imagine all reputable ones have

is there someting wrong with nvidia drivers i just cant install them

[glossy valley]

https://cursortouch.com/ Has anyone tried this? I want to use it for a project idea im just worried it might trip VAC or EAC

I dont want to use it for gaming XD

[latent gull]

everything about this seems like an amazing idea with no drawbacks or cons whatsoever

[glossy valley]

I can imagen someone telling CursorTouch to get fornite dubs and it just cooks like that XD

[viscid helm]

Options+ is really good in my work, however that wasn't #1 reason for me but also seamless working between multiple PCs on the same network

However, I'm not too much into keyboards and mouses and just got them based on the suggestion of a YouTuber I watch for years and watched reviews

[clear canyon]

Why is that a limit?

[ionic peak]

hello

[latent gull]

fire risk iirc

[gritty panther]

law

most likely for safety

[ionic peak]

now an camp fire

[gritty panther]

that's why most laptops and battery packs don't go over 100wh

[ionic peak]

ye a

[gritty panther]

still amazed newer handhelds have 80wh batteries 😮

[ionic peak]

camp fire isnt good in an airplen

[azure topaz]

its cause of planes yeah

idk why the reason reason is but yeah its just planes

yeah basically if a >100wh battery explodes its a harder problem to deal with than if it was small

[latent gull]

[azure topaz]

badaboom

[raw trout]

Can phoes go over 100wh?

[azure topaz]

sure if you dont want to bring it on a plane

nothing but some form of sense is stopping anyone from putting a hgiher than 100wh batt on their device

[raw trout]

Wait so was the big samsung chonk phone not allowed on planes?

[azure topaz]

over >160wh isnt allowed but 100-160 can get manually approved

[latent gull]

the note 7 was banned from planes

[azure topaz]

well it fucking exploded id ban it from planes too

[raw trout]

Nobody totally knew that

[rigid fjord]

tbf dude, for where you are, a 22kw genny with autostart on mains cutout is a good way to have backup power, especially if you can get a good decent army surplus one, and combine it with the likes of solar

[azure topaz]

22kw is also like, a lot

your fridge is probably only like 2kw at peak load

[rigid fjord]

yes but you'd want a powerbank that offers at least 60w pd or better

[raw trout]

That's crazy

[azure topaz]

so even if you have a fridge and a bigass deep freeze or something youre well under any power limit

[gritty panther]

it can but you can't ride the plane with it

[latent gull]

i thought it was 45w for steamdeck

[raw trout]

What? Then I'm getting a stream deck

[rigid fjord]

then you look at the microwave, cooker and any other stuff people want to still keep on

[azure topaz]

ah yes youre running your microwave for hours on a generator

[gritty panther]

yep. ROG Ally Z1e does 65w. Ally X and newer does 100w but only comes with 65w charger.

[azure topaz]

2500w (if that) for 2 minutes

same with an oven, 5kw sure, for at most an hour cooking

[wheat torrent]

shits so messy but time for some lan gaming

[rigid fjord]

it might be, but tbf a 20,000mAh + that does 60w+pd can also power a laptop/phone/whatever else needed

[topaz shale]

did you put ur pc in a faraday cage?

[azure topaz]

in a scenario where power goes out and you can eliminate non essential devices 20kw is a FUCK ton

[azure topaz]

just to keep stuff away cause open case i think

stops cats from bothering it

[gritty panther]

my money is on cats

see?

[azure topaz]

🤝

freak in question:

[topaz shale]

oh yeah you can see the scandal in front of the monitors

[azure topaz]

lmao

I dont mind seeing cats lol

Iiii don't think I wanna see any of them either.

[south arrow]

Can't blame you with the current state of AI thinking but im still hyped

Last time I got AI to answer outside it's confines it said. Humans who are helpful will be rewarded and those who aren't will be... anyhow

[rose stream]

I'm more hyped for the tech going into bots and into the ones that have their purposes elsewhere like in military, shipping, combat bot shows, and stunt doubles for films and series.

[south arrow]

Gotta teach it things

[south arrow]

The drone shows are getting frigging epic

[rose stream]

Particularly for the artificial muscle tech.

[south arrow]

Cybernetics/cyborg tech is super cool and the prosthetics are coming along nicely from what I've seen

Spinal, to legs, to arms, tons of research

[rose stream]

Personally, I just wanna see exosuits that can be usable in various fields using such tech.

[south arrow]

They got a few, spartan type to fallout

Getting there military even funded the fallout one i think

Sounds right

[rose stream]

Though of course, I'm still the kinda junkie for tokusatsu stuff and the kinds of suits seen there defy the direction everybody's been trying to go... Which mostly in the direction of Iron Men.

[latent gull]

So, building on this and what they talked about on wan show the other day. Aren’t neuralink patients already able to use neuralink for basic computer/mouse controls? I seem to recall that being a thing, but they were talking about it like it was still science fiction to have a neural interface to control a computer/phone/device

[south arrow]

Ooo show pics always curious new desighns

[south arrow]

Oh yes and even play games etc giving alot more freedom to those with really suck conditions

[latent gull]

Yeah, now, as much as I hate musk and don’t want this to become too commonplace too fast, that’s a super fucking cool technology for people who have no other options for basic motor control

[south arrow]

Didn't catch the last 2 wan shows been sicker then a dog

I'll have to catchup

[rose stream]

At the moment, this might be one of the few things that exists that's recent talking about such tech.

[south arrow]

Yeah these rock https://youtu.be/-vTk-TRN0C8?si=nH5uji12W8SHWOy7

[latent gull]

AI has been taking all the headlines but this stuff is way more interesting

[rose stream]

Meanwhile, I'm past KR Gavv and on ZEZTZ, seeing the new suit in action and it's mostly organic style design and I'm just like "we're almost to there... So why is everyone picking Iron Man's design over something that makes more sense and can be rounded with the current innovations, like do KR Zero-One or something?"

[latent gull]

Probably because money

[south arrow]

Competition, funding, patents, testing we will get there

[latent gull]

Easier to drive hype around something easily recognizable

[south arrow]

Just gotta hope it doesn't get monopolied and become a money thing

[rose stream]

The irony of even the mention of Zero-One is that it's also themed around AI and robots, made around the time generative AI was starting to build hype.

[south arrow]

Then patents like Nintendo not allowing others to adapt it. If the mission for the benefit of people

[rose stream]

At least they're not Porsche and Tesla, coming up with stuff they patent that seems usable elsewhere, but then might end up shelving anyway and it never gets used... Well, anywhere.

[cold skiff]

What’s with the italics all the time

Do you really need the attention?

well it certainly got your attention

[south arrow]

If so, I hope it gets better

Cruddy days happen

The fun part is playing a waiting game with some of them, like fords really bad patents. Are the just keeping those close to the chest or are they planning on using them?

Logged in via MS account

[rose stream]

I tend to half wonder if they just don't know what to do with them, but did they also make them and somehow completely forgot about them until some blue moon later where someone actually looked through stuff and realized they actually had patents for certain things... And only then decided to actually use it or source stuff from the same idea for once?

Honestly that would justify hoarding them in the sense of the case of not knowing when you'll need it at some point, though... Of course, that's not always the case either.

[cold skiff]

Might just need to update them on the account site because I’m now using ftpm I guess

[rigid fjord]

you can stack this one up quite a bit, and there's a distribution box allowing you to connect up to 3 of these as stacks and allowing you to charge them at the same time

[fresh escarp]

would i be able to play among us on 4k screen on my gtx 3050 4gb laptop?

[carmine yew]

among us? probably

[latent gull]

specifically the one that worries me is the semi-recent one from for which allowed them to take full remote control of the vehicle. surely that wont just be forgotten about, but god i can hope its never used

[rose stream]

It better NOT be ever used.

[clear canyon]

lol yeah, thats a mobile game

[rose stream]

Meanwhile, there's the patent for linear actuated wipers... Which got shelved for laser-based wipers... And now I'm left wondering if they'll ever use the former at all or at least scrap the patent because that's just a waste of an idea that might actually make sense.

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/attention-give-me-attention-pay-attention-to-me-love-me-ignored-gif-2471381538484738508

[latent gull]

Would the linear one even be that useful in reality? I know some vehicles have windshields that need 3 wipers, I guess it might be useful for those

[rose stream]

Could be.

@south arrow this vid has that solar setup, specifcally the delta pro and distribution box + consumer panel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gia6QgMFp48

[south arrow]

Definitely watching

So tired of the city

[tired bear]

or just use quite standard 48v inverters that you can stack+ run 2 for split phase or even 3 for 3 phase
and a quite standard rack mount 48v lifepo4 battery

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-spongebob-gif-6081957

[rigid fjord]

eh, if you're going to do that, you might as well go with a pair of victron inverters that have the solar charger built in, that also can do grid tie-in

[tired bear]

all of the 48v inverters have mppt trackers built in (some are 150v and other better ones are 500v)and even support AC charging

[bleak ledge]

Windows is really craving the .NET Framework

[tired bear]

Integrated MPPT charger 100A
Equalisation charging function to prolong battery life
Works with or without a battery
Maximum PV input voltage up to 450VDC
Configurable grid or solar input priority
Wi-Fi module included
Supports parallel operation for capacity up to 30kw (6 inverters)
PV and grid power supply the load in parallel
Scheduled charging with built-in time.

[rigid fjord]

nope, not all of them dude, it depends on the inverter you go for, most inverted just do dc from the battery into AC and don't have a solar controller let alone grid tie-in built in

[south arrow]

Lol the genny spin

Guys a goober xD got lucky with the fit in the closet 8:11

With how quiet it is, is crazy

[rigid fjord]

https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters/phoenix-inverter-smart <- straight up inverter, does dc to ac

[tired bear]

my fault, most are marketed as "hybrid inverters"

[rigid fjord]

https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters-chargers/multiplus-12v-24v-48v-800va-3kva <- inverter with built in solar charger

[south arrow]

Lol woke the baby xD he's doing his best solid vid

[rigid fjord]

yeah, hybrids ones completely differ from a standard inverter, and several hybrids don't even do grid tie-in

https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters-chargers/quattro <- specific one that does grid tie-in, but if used as setup for offgrid use, the bit for the grid can be used with a genny instead

[sudden marten]

what would you guys do about buying ram currently? buy it now before it gets even more expensive or wait for who knows how long until it goes back down?

[gritty panther]

afaik it will get worse. buy asap

[rigid fjord]

there's a few others of their's worth watching, there's also a couple other off-gridders worth watching, especially for their solar setups

I subbed have to checkem out

Always cool to see others setups

is used ram ok to buy or is it something to stay away from

guys is cs383 worth over meshify 2xl ?

[random junco]

cs383 costs significantly worth more than the meshify

but its for workstation/nas not for gaming, so depends what ur using it for

[runic anvil]

nas usage , but while meshify 2 xl is nice it is not future proof because it has no 5.25 bays

[random junco]

get cage and drill it

[fresh escarp]

my brain is fried by coding, so i wanna chat with the question - what's in your budget, been a purchase that's been cheap for you and been the best thing you've bought? ( tech wise - used or new etc )

assus is bad

[random junco]

🤔

[rigid fjord]

if you go ecoflow, there's less to mess around with, if you go with victron there's more to build a system with, both can come with ways to switch over when a power cut happens

[runic anvil]

asus warranty is bad

support is horrible to

my laptops warranty resets every time i reinstall windows

[hexed tapir]

But they give out free child p***

im not a fan of asus

to many problems in the past on amd platform

[latent gull]

Where the fuck did AMD come into this?

[fast girder]

Yea but what if the device works fine? I mean I'm trading it for an older gaming desktop I have

[rigid fjord]

the comparison mainly becomes if you want it as plug n' play, or if you want to go full custom tbf@south arrow

[random junco]

asus makes good gaming laptops that can be found for good prices on the used market, their motherboards are of decent quality (from experience), theres nothing i can personally find to complain about

no, go lenovo instead

ew lenovo, they say nomather what price people buy it anyway

[rigid fjord]

inb4 gigabyte and multiple issues with both intel and amd

[terse bison]

Especially their laptops. I was an ex-owner of the Strix 2021 RTX 3060 series..... the keyboard missed specific keystrokes... It had two SSD slots and Asus Denmark refused to even look at it whilst under warranty citing that the second SSD has to be approved by Asus

Let me see if I can find the email

[runic anvil]

i use gigabyte on 3 systems, for me it runs perfect and is more flexible, even for nas usage

[random junco]

was this brand new?

[latent gull]

Okay, so, yes this is incredibly bad, but was it ever confirmed that it actually had anything on it? Or did it just belong to someone convicted for it? Cause if it was the wrong computer they shouldn’t have been able to access any of the storage anyways

[hexed tapir]

You can't ew the red nipple company

[runic anvil]

aorus master trx40, aorus master x570s, aero g x570s

[proper gull]

So Reddit user is assuming the laptop belongs to a pdf based on the name? they do know people can have the same name as someone else, right?

[terse bison]

Ever since, I stayed away from their products.... maybe I am talking "collective punishment" but there are better options out there.... and no wonder there was a whole fiasco about Asus not honoring warranties

[latent gull]

Maybe stick drift? Idk? It’s a weird one

[hexed tapir]

Just convicted it seems

<- has had several asus mobo's on am4 platform one of which is being used for a nas and completely having no issues

[runic anvil]

but yeah suit yourself anyways just sayig im not a asus licker because everyone on internet says its the best

[latent gull]

Asus mobos are fine AFAIK, the laptops are questionable

[latent gull]

What in Sam hell are you talking about. Almost no one says asus is the best. Saying asus is bad is a cold AF take

[proper gull]

My last laptop before my ThinkPad was a cheap Asus... Did the job, never broke despite lots of abuse
My current motherboard is Asus, works fine

[runic anvil]

the mobos are fine? crosshair 1-4 where drama, and they blame user error for their own mistakes

[random junco]

who

[latent gull]

My issues with the asus laptops was the ROG ones that were always clocked too high and led to way lower performance than they should’ve had cause they would overheat and throttle to worse performance than if they were clocked lower

[rigid fjord]

what

[gritty panther]

they honestly all equally suck 😄

[latent gull]

No?

[proper gull]

The mistake there was buying a gaming laptop

That's not an Asus issue, they all do that

[random junco]

ive got multiple asus motherboards in use and an asus laptop, none of them have ever failed me and honestly everyone just has different experiences

[runic anvil]

after asus caused so many problems i gone gigabyte ud5 am3

[latent gull]

Fair, but it’s not an issue I noticed on other laptops, especially the large Lenovos, mostly seemed to be a problem on the thin ROG ones

[proper gull]

Even bigger mistake buying a THIN gaming laptop

[runic anvil]

i had 1 laptop in the past, it was an xps l702x, good thing about dell the netherlands is, no warranty void , they even gave manuals how to replace hardware like screen and keyboard

[humble tree]

if my ethernet port is broke wha can i buy to fix it

like is there any external or smth

[runic anvil]

usb to eth sure

an onboard eth fixing will require soldering skills

[rigid fjord]

the good thing about dell is the service tag on the device pretty much will give you all the drivers, upgrades and replacements for whatever product it's linked to

[runic anvil]

well when i firest bought it , the screens where so bad i had dead pixels , they came next buisness day swapping it at mcdoanlds,

but thing is after 3x screen swap of dead pixels i desided to buy my own screen , so i swapped i 900p to 1080p

[humble tree]

anything else? it was working before i swapped my case now it’s fucked

[runic anvil]

keyboard, well mines didnt had backlit, dell ddint even know mines could have backlit, but the conector was theree so i googled backlit keyboard and swapped it out

dw, i took care off my dell haha , i took it fully appart

swapping ribbon cable for sceen because the hinch is bad and breaks it

fun thing is, i called dell and said my batery was bad, and i got new battery + adapter for free, i lied but i just wanted a 2nd

dell nl is careless

[humble tree]

if my ethernet broke after me changing case what could be the issue

[runic anvil]

how can eth break if change case

i never seen anyone be so careless

anyway if its broken get a usb to eth adapter the yare cheap

or use wifi

or buy a pcie to eth card

[humble tree]

is it the same as plugging it in the back or is there any difference

[keen folio]

would the upgrade to the 5800XT be worth it from a 5700x?

[runic anvil]

its rj45 defaults

[humble tree]

does it just plug in

do the have the same speeds

or different

[rigid fjord]

no

[left trellis]

I play 60hz

its fire :D

[keen folio]

thanks

[runic anvil]

usb dont require tools its plug and play, pcie require tools and a bit brain power, and in siome cases ned a driver to install manualy because they only have drivers up to windows xp

[left trellis]

found a 1440p 240hz monitor on marketplace and haggled to 85 tho, prob gonna pick it up

[rigid fjord]

usb can involve tools sometimes

[runic anvil]

anyway i gave you the oprion, they all use same cables because its a world standard thing that doesnt change up to 10GB

[runic anvil]

lol maby brain power yes

even a sonos speaker can use them

[humble tree]

what usb extender would you recommend

like for more usb ports

i’m running out 😭🙏🏻

[runic anvil]

i am not smart by any means, but i could even get my sonos roam to run on eth

[runic anvil]

do you use that many usb devices ?

[rigid fjord]

usb cables that can be screwed in

[humble tree]

yes

[rigid fjord]

it's called a powered hub

[runic anvil]

really ... those dont look some consumer product

its more like some apple thing with own preoority connectors

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, they are, but not regular consumer

[humble tree]

one for mouse, one to charge mouse, one for keyboard, one for the baystation for my headphones, one for my controller, one for a led strip

[humble tree]

i think that’s all

[runic anvil]

i never seen a device with a usb port that have a screw hole above it

not to mention it all gets so flat that even apple is having problems with it

[random junco]

erverything computers

i'd like to see more servers

[hexed tapir]

Not spacecraft battle stations!?

[bold laurel]

Alright. I’ll post my server tmr if I don’t forget

[south arrow]

Fun food for thought

Titles click bait but a fun conversation

[misty path]

Is setting up a GPU farm still worthwhile? Looking to purchase a few 50 series cards and then rent them out

[stark kiln]

Hello tippers

[south arrow]

Would need an awful lot and really cheap electric to free

[azure topaz]

no

[south arrow]

Most farms are setting up in 3rd world countries or where there's free electric

Unfortunately

[magic mirage]

is 96c good on ryzen 5 5600 while playing bf6

[random junco]

how much would you rent them for? i've seen advertising for 5090s costing 23 cents an hour, gonna be hard to compete with

[misty path]

I have relatively cheap elec, vast.ai shows around 50 usd per 5070 ti so it seems good no?

[random junco]

uh no that shits nearly about to shut down the system

[south arrow]

Well outside of specific gov/priv clusters

For their specific uses

[stark kiln]

It's bad In ANY cpu

[magic mirage]

what can be the problem

[stark kiln]

Check the fan or temps

[random junco]

whats ur fan speeds

and what cooler is it

[magic mirage]

2000rpm

[azure topaz]

me when misinfo

[magic mirage]

stock amd

[stark kiln]

96° is only 4° from throttling it's bad in any cpu

[azure topaz]

please google things that you’re telling people unless you’re sure they’re true or at least follow it up with “probably”

[south arrow]

Wonder how one gets into the military and is just like the gpu tech xD

[random junco]

then get a better cooler

[azure topaz]

you have no idea what you’re talking about

[south arrow]

That'd be a neat job

My job is to put together 300 ps6

[random junco]

zachs tech turf

[south arrow]

Lol doing my part xD

[azure topaz]

ryzen 7000 chips target 95c and boost there until they can’t anymore

amd themselves put out an article for am4 users stating 95c is fine

[stark kiln]

95 is horrid still

[azure topaz]

throttling is horrid.

95c and not throttling is literally no different than any other temp

[south arrow]

Did he serve? Not familiar with him tbh

[azure topaz]

please, that’s the clear distinction to be made

hot is ok throttling is not

[magic mirage]

so is 96 ok?

[random junco]

yeah

[random junco]

he was deployed in afghanistan for drones iirc

he mentions it alot in his vids

[azure topaz]

does your game feel fine

[south arrow]

96 is fine if not continuing to rise and not lagging

[magic mirage]

ye

[random junco]

its 96 with a stock cooler, just upgrade

[azure topaz]

then doesn’t matter

buy a 17$ cooler if you feel it’s too hot but if your games are running fine you literally shouldn’t care any less

[south arrow]

Gotta do whatcha gotta do

Hmm
https://youtu.be/AsnE98temZo?si=nXLtvSb9ZCuJd2Ve, how the world spins curious advancements

Followed by a more perfect union's video frigging YouTube lol

[random junco]

i have such mixed views on nvidia

(partly because i wanted chatrtx so i got a laptop with rtx 3050, wasnt allowed. then i got a desktop 2070 super, still not supported)

[opaque pine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J7vmb2 rate 🫡

[random junco]

not bad

[opaque pine]

is the only downside the ssd?

i first ordered a ultra 7 265k and 5070 ti build for 2.2k usd but then i came to my senses and the 7 265k is not really that great for gaming so i refunded that build

so i got this for 2k usd

[random junco]

ssd is fine

[random junco]

whatd u do with the old pc

[opaque pine]

i refunded it

it came today

but then i was like nah so i made the post office return it

[random junco]

what did you claim for the refund? did they just let you give it back because you didnt like it

[opaque pine]

yeah they do that in norway

[random junco]

😨

[opaque pine]

so i returned that build and got this 💃

[random junco]

no way ()

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w97Zh7

[random junco]

was considering that cooler change too

[opaque pine]

nice

i was thinking 5070 ti maybe but the 9070 xt was on sale today for 700 so i grabbed it the 5070 ti here is like 1150

both do be great cards though

[hexed tapir]

What country?

[opaque pine]

Norway

[hexed tapir]

In non ray tracing they trade blows but are essentially the same just when ray tracing is turned on the 9070xt gets stomped on

[opaque pine]

yeah

[hexed tapir]

https://no.pcpartpicker.com/list/ we have Norway pcparpicker

[opaque pine]

i only do 1080p no rt 144hz

wanted to future proof my build a bit

[stray portal]

What's that chat rtx

[opaque pine]

when i saw the ultra 7 265k vs the amd cpu i chose its insane i wanted to cancel it right away almost xd

considering only arrow lake refresh then new mobo if upgrade and amd has til 2027 ❤️ am5

[opaque pine]

sick i got it for 20300 nok 😉

[stray portal]

Not really I saw tests where the rx 9000 series was better for rtx... But those were the 9060/9060xt soo eh

[ivory juniper]

Just built a new pc after 2 days everything shut down twice but only the ram rgb stays on and the psu stinks of burning does anyone know any way I can find out if it’s fried itself

[stray portal]

Why are Nordic countries so inflated I never got it for example my country they say we are poor but 20300 nok is only like 8000 RON

[opaque pine]

idfk

[hexed tapir]

I was talking about the 5070ti and 9070xt, the 9070xt has rtx 5070 level ray tracing performance

[opaque pine]

do u think the build will last a good 6-7 years with some graphic sacrifices for 1080 144hz?

its kind of hard to tell idk 🤔

[opaque pine]

since like i got the build but just without the gpu it was someone else who returned it earlier

but it has 24 month warranty and was like 40 usd cheaper

so i only gotta do the gpu and just make sure everyth else is in good state when i first get it

i might want to change the case tho

i want like one of those view cases 😭 sounds stupid but uhh

[bitter crater]

damn... why does omv not support debian trixie yet...

anyone know an alternative that does work on rpi os trixie?

[stray portal]

Is it possible that my TV reset it's refresh rate after I plugged my pc into it some time ago

[grizzled frost]

TV's don't determine their own refresh rate

they either run at max refresh rate all the time, or it's determined by the PC

[stray portal]

Idk but movies just feel less responsive after I plugged it in I'm wondering if windows messed it up

[tulip sparrow]

Nopt surprised considering the pricing of RAM, VRAM, SSDS these days https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-considers-price-increase-memory-shortage-3610899/

HELL even the price of electricy is going to skyrocket

[grizzled frost]

It didn't

[gritty panther]

GPU AND CPU stabilized. now RAM and SSD's time to shine /s

[tulip sparrow]

CPUS and GPUS thanks to bloody cryptoming and now its ssds and rams bloody turn

[gritty panther]

OPENAI has 40% of nand supply.

[tulip sparrow]

GPU prices NEVER came back down after mining

Bloody NGREEDIA

[stoic nova]

Eh. They still depreciate. Slower than they should but

[tulip sparrow]

MSRP has gone up above where they honestly should be

[stray portal]

I can't wait for AI downfall

[stoic nova]

It makes you feel any better. The bubble is going to pop sooner than they'll ever admit

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah waiting for that bubble to burst

[stoic nova]

Aww yea

Get your short sells ready

[tulip sparrow]

The decades old powergrids will NOT handle the AI load that is for fucking sure

[stoic nova]

You see that mini doc on the noise pollution of them things

[stray portal]

once investors realize companies like open ai can't make something that they can profit off of, investors will pull out and the companies will collapse

[tulip sparrow]

Expect rolling blackouts to be starting soon as tghey ramp up thpose AI SLOP factories

The US goveronment coming in will suystatian them for a little longer but hopefully not to much

[stray portal]

So only a few companies will be left, those being the ones that found ways to make Ai profitable

[rose stream]

Which is ironic because we've already seen a lot of signs of the bubble starting to deflate.

[stoic nova]

Nvidia still gonna be a fortune 5 company after all this but w/e

[ivory mountain]

me too im tired of seeing 32gb of ddr5 cost $180

[tulip sparrow]

I don't know if I even want NGREEDIA crawling back to us gamers

[gritty panther]

yikes is it that bad already

[rose stream]

Ngl, I kinda don't expect them to, even if the bubble actually pops.

[ivory mountain]

its $180 for klevv cras and thats not even an expensive brand (although spec wise its one of the best)

[tulip sparrow]

@ivory mountain yeah part of why its cheaper to just buy a fully kitted minipc for less then buying a barebones then trying to kit it out yourself with ssd and ram

[hexed tapir]

Samsung a memory manufacturer is going to increase the cost of phones because of the increased demand in memory that they should've foreseen?

[gritty panther]

I just bought a 96gb 6400 cl32 mdie not too long ago for $290

that is super expensive 🙁

[stoic nova]

There's more than enough workload that isn't consumer AI still gonna fill their coffers

[tulip sparrow]

I was going to pay an EXTRA $100+ to kit out a minipc instead of just buying it with windows ssd and ram to replace my old i5 3570k system as a HTPC/NAS setup

[tired bear]

i bought a 64gb kit 1 y ago for that price

[tulip sparrow]

Planning on a HTPC/DAS(as a nas)

[ivory mountain]

me too i got my 64gb 6000 teamgroup for around that much

[gritty panther]

and I heard it's gonna get worse

[rose stream]

Pretty much. They're the ones getting their money's worth in every company's investment into their products in the end. They will basically win out even when things crash because they were already making all that money as is. The data center space will then probably pivot regardless and pay them for custom designs for other things.

[hexed tapir]

We are back to ddr5 launch prices

[tulip sparrow]

Once AI finds its bloody niche and implodes what will be the next BIG TERM for these greedy companies?

[rose stream]

Either that, or Intel and AMD will get a cut instead. Hell from what I recall, Nvidia is even getting too expensive at scale, even for datacenters.

[ivory mountain]

finna start recommending ddr4 in the big october 2025 💀

[stoic nova]

Depreciation is something companies can write off is a policy that aged rather poorly

[gritty panther]

DDR4 are expensive too

we're toast

[ivory mountain]

whos we i have my ram

https://tenor.com/view/michaeljordan-mj-basketball-gif-michael-jordan-no-no-no-no-gif-16220345851539903827

[gritty panther]

they're toast* I have 96gb in my main system and 64gb on my server lol

[rose stream]

Dunno. Plus, all the ASIC start ups are starting to fill in the gaps whenever it comes to new efficient tech and even then, they all already fit a niche as is that Nvidia, Intel, and AMD are not even trying to fill.

[tulip sparrow]

I have a DDR4 platform and at this rate I will likely skip AM5/DDR5 all together LOL

[gritty panther]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-not-my-problem-sip-tea-time-gif-11560723

[tired bear]

i got plenty of ddr4 left in stock be it rdimm, udimm ecc, udimm regular, sodimm

[tulip sparrow]

5800x3D more then plenty still

[rose stream]

That said niches having... Well... Unfortunately, rather low demand.

[gritty panther]

$280 7800x3d on microcenter is tempting tho. softens the blow of the expensive ram

[ivory mountain]

lucky i paid $400 for mine

[tulip sparrow]

Its out of production that is partly why

[gritty panther]

a lot of money lol. rich

[tired bear]

rich my ass, i pull it from stuff i have to give to ewaste

[rose stream]

Though if anything, I'm already starting to see stuff that might just show the cracks in the bubble where it hurts most and I'm not surprised by them being there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUMDYFTz2wg

[stoic nova]

It's expensive enough to buy the hardware let alone write the software that ends up being like 1100% less efficient than Nvidia's grandfathered in as hell interfaces

[rose stream]

Hell, we even get quite the story out of something... Like this! Lmao!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozVb14bNwzQ

[frigid blade]

I mean, what do you expect?

[tulip sparrow]

HELL Nvidia killed PhysX support

[rose stream]

Well, less efficient in general purpose inferencing tasks.

That's what's holding back the AI ASIC demand.

[tulip sparrow]

I assume PhysX still works on amd and intel GPUS?

[rose stream]

Most of the demand is concentrated in the general purpose sector only at this time.

[rose stream]

Iiiii don't recall it ever working directly on the gpus? Just in software, soooo basically cpu.

[stoic nova]

Is it anything more than a crypto cruncher now?

I haven't seen talk about asic in a while

[rose stream]

You know... They really should try answering that question.
I'd honestly like to see them all try.

[tulip sparrow]

Last time I herd ASIC was cryptomining

[tired bear]

asic is just silicon ment to do one thing fast

[rose stream]

I'd like to see them all actually trying to prove the point of even having AI ASICs as well to anyone because every time I turn around, a new one pops up, sometimes even using older untapped tech (analog, reverse circuit, and trinary for instance), and... There's no logical use case I've heard yet that makes them entirely worth it.

Just the same as general purpose AI...

[random junco]

unlucky, everything i see here is an average of 106 usd

must just be an america thing

[tulip sparrow]

Yeh the US gets slammed with priuce increases and it sucks

[royal scaffold]

Has Rufus changed their field of expertise or what? 💀

[tired bear]

sticks with first word latency higher than 10 are sorted out here

[tulip sparrow]

sub 10ns here

[tacit star]

Turns out graphics cards can have 3-pin 5V ARGB headers too

[tired bear]

in other news water is wet

[tulip sparrow]

otherwise its not in stock LOL

[tired bear]

just sort it by price per gb

[tacit star]

The world would be much better place if ARGB didn't need so many cables

And had only one software

[tired bear]

wifi anywhere you go

[tulip sparrow]

Ok

$400+ LOL

[tired bear]

wrong way

[tulip sparrow]

Tell that to PCPartpicker LOL

[tired bear]

just click on it again

and it sorts from low to high

[tulip sparrow]

have to click it twice to get it sorted least to highest LOL

[tired bear]

yap

[tulip sparrow]

Which is halfassed backwards honestly LOL

[tired bear]

i would like to have prefrences for auto sorting and filtering so i dont have to set it up every single time

[tulip sparrow]

Who the FUCK would want to see most expensive first?

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-man-money-tears-sad-rich-tears-gif-16511548

[random junco]

are we being serious

sorted price/gb

[tulip sparrow]

As i said you can blame PCPartpicker for sorting it that way first

[hexed tapir]

That's the first thing I asked Amazon Rufus when I saw it

[tulip sparrow]

They removed the question and answer section on products for this AI bullshit

[random junco]

i guess the average human can understand that seeing 800 dollars as the first result is not what they were looking for, resulting to them pressing the same button again (to get their actual desired results)

[tulip sparrow]

I loved the question and answer section as it made it simple to ask actual owners questions that an AI would have ZERO idea about

@random junco I was also being a little cheeky about it LOL

[random junco]

i wonder if people would prefer the AI response over actual experience from peoples reviews

[tulip sparrow]

Reviews don't answer nearly all the questions one might have about a product and asking via the old section was the only actual way to get real answers to those unanswered questions

[random junco]

now that makes me question whether rufus would source info strictly from amazon or other third party sellers + reviews

[tulip sparrow]

Just amazon reviews and the amazon pages for that product for what I have seen so far

Example of an unknown question if a controller works with a particular phone+case setup

[random junco]

compatability

[tulip sparrow]

Or if a certain laptop has issues with linux

So yeah

Yeah compatability problems won't always come up in reviews/product info

Which is why the old question and answer section was far better
