tech-chat-1

[winged sky]

Wanting to buy something to use and wanting to buy something to jack up the prices and resell are completely different things. Come on dude at least try to make a good argument.

[cold skiff]

It’s no difference to me saying 192gb ram is more than the average consumer ever needed to afford

[wheat torrent]

🔥

[steel umbra]

how did you make money then?

[thorny saddle]

What are you even talking about

[native path]

I buy Yachts then sell them to grandmas for 50 million

[thorny saddle]

No, I buy yachts FROM senile grandmas and sell them to real estate moguls for $50M

[pearl fossil]

what games should i run on the laptop

[thorny saddle]

"Its just what people do"

[winged sky]

Terraria

[thorny saddle]

"I see the opportunity"

[wheat torrent]

4090s Only

If someone puts something for sale at a lower price if you don't buy it someone else will

[steel umbra]

on what is your business based on

[pearl fossil]

keep in mind it has gma x3100 graphics

from the 965 chipset

[steel umbra]

you wouldn’t be here without money (on this chat)

[thorny saddle]

Are you sniffing glue or something?

[winged sky]

terraria

[pearl fossil]

nah i'll try minecraft instead

[steel umbra]

you’re telling me you don’t have a job?

[unique belfry]

I hate having dyslexia because I keep reading your name as vekinky

[wheat torrent]

Me when I buy gold to sell it at higher price later

[winged sky]

The only thing you are going to do is make people hate you here. Id stop before this continues

[thorny saddle]

My job is I look for people who are disoriented on the street, I offer them $10-15 for their wallet and jewelry, and then I turn around and sell that for $500-1000

[steel umbra]

it’s fine

[winged sky]

[wheat torrent]

I think if you decieve someone to think what they are selling is worth less then that's fucked

[paper iris]

I once had an uncomfortable argument with a mod in a game I played because I questioned why the word... mole stead (without the A and no space.) was inappropriate. I was reading the word literally as mole stead, like a homestead for moles. I learned then I had dyslexia.

[wheat torrent]

But if they are offering you a price themselves it's on them

[thorny saddle]

that is what we're talking about ffs

[winged sky]

Thats what scalpers do.

[kindred halo]

So apparently all that effort of asking and researching was in vain

[steel umbra]

well, i guess you don’t want to say because what you’re doing involves capitalism which you just argued agaisnt

[kindred halo]

The stick is 249.99

[wheat torrent]

What scalpers

[kindred halo]

But says 65 on the website

[thorny saddle]

@steel umbra is encouraging someone to buy a RAM kit that is clearly not in line with market value because the person does not know, and recommends someone buy it and flip it for profit

[wheat torrent]

GPU scalpers buy products at MSRP no?

[thorny saddle]

You're incredibly unintelligent

[winged sky]

Im going back to the linux discord, there isnt nearly as much stupidity there

[wheat torrent]

Mmmm

[pearl fossil]

downloading java 8 rn

[wheat torrent]

Morally gray area

[steel umbra]

as far as i know a retail store listed the ram for the price

[thorny saddle]

no, scalping - in a tech discord, its unbelievably shitty

[thorny saddle]

yeah that makes sense.... so ridiculous dude

[valid fiber]

ram has probably already reached the peak

[steel umbra]

yes i recommended the person to buy price at a cheap price from a retail store that listed it cheap and resell it because he said that he didn’t have money which i assumed when he said that he currently doesn’t have anything to pay with at the moment

[wheat torrent]

But it is on the seller to price it properly, you can't expect buyers to let the seller know they are underselling

[kindred halo]

@true stirrup Prices out of date, both it and the 16GB Kingston stick

[wheat torrent]

A good person will but you can put the blame on the buyer letting the person know

[winged sky]

If he didnt have the money, then he shouldnt be buying the shit in the first place

[ornate harbor]

10k

[wheat torrent]

If I get gifted a expensive watch and then sell it for 30 dollars on Facebook the blame is on me

Not on the person who buys it

I should of did my research properly

[steel umbra]

well, no money
so i suggested scalping which is a legitimate business practise

i didn’t suggest being misleading or dishonesty

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/not-you-not-no-nope-nah-gif-15452978

Scalpers should be scalped.

[steel umbra]

you can disagree as much as you want but scalping in better word is reselling of a short time or just reselling

[paper iris]

I have been wondering this for a while, how does the GPU pricing compete with miners buying them for farms? As long as demand is high, prices will stay high. I'm curious how will it become affordable again for average consumers.

[steel umbra]

a legitimate business practise

[winged sky]

I hope everything you could ever want gets scalped right in front of you.

See how you like it.

[unique belfry]

Lol

[steel umbra]

i see all the time yes, food, ram, gpus, tools, houses, etc etc.

[wheat torrent]

GPUs are kinda at a good price atm

It won't get cheaper than it is right now, only more expensive

[valid fiber]

scalpers also have the risk of stuff losing value 🤷‍♂️
so I'm not that mad at them as long as they don't complain if things don't go their way

[paper iris]

But it's kinda raised the plateu

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-who-neil-patrick-harris-toymaker-alright-then-fourteenth-doctor-gif-10814853001221417665

[steel umbra]

a company buys property just to resell it

go on and destroy all of them

[wheat torrent]

It won't get cheaper

[winged sky]

Nope. According to you scalping is A-OK

[steel umbra]

nooooo!!! purge every second business of using. the strategy of scalping

delete them from existence

[winged sky]

Cant. Its so morally correct to scalp everything according to you.

[valid fiber]

just normal part of the market

[wheat torrent]

Pawn shops are scalpers!

[steel umbra]

correct, free trade
you own the thing i don’t
i can also scalp the things i own

[wheat torrent]

Jewler's are scalpers

[steel umbra]

so i scalp and you scalp and that cancels out

[wheat torrent]

Everyone is a scalper if you look at it

[winged sky]

I dont scalp. I make it a point not to.

[wheat torrent]

In my eyes a scalper is only someone who buys in a high quantity

[winged sky]

Do unto others what youd want them to do to you.

[steel umbra]

you probably do even if you think you don’t

indirectly for sure

[winged sky]

Ive never sold anything above what I paid for it.

[steel umbra]

not just that…

[wheat torrent]

Interesting

[winged sky]

Well I cant control what other people purchasing do with it. I make it a point not to do it myself.

[steel umbra]

if you have a job of selling a product to someone, by definition you’re probably helping scalpers

[winged sky]

So because others do it I should too?

No. I dont think i will.

[wheat torrent]

If you can't sell something more than you bought it for you can't succeed in business

[steel umbra]

i won’t stop you

[wheat torrent]

No profit to be made

[winged sky]

Im not running a business.

[wheat torrent]

Yes but you're trying to make something that is normal to look scummy

[winged sky]

You're confusing parts value with labor value.

[steel umbra]

money -> buy parts -> assemble -> sell for profit

[winged sky]

If i build something im obviously going to charge for building it

[wheat torrent]

No I'm talking about selling

[winged sky]

But it won't be unreasonable.

[wheat torrent]

Not Labour

[steel umbra]

scalping is also some effort

[winged sky]

Lmfao bullshit.

The only effort required is finding someone stupid enough to buy

[steel umbra]

most scalpers are less profitable than other proven and stable ways

on average

you have the statistics

[winged sky]

I dont care. That doesnt make it ok.

[thorny saddle]

Quoting for history

[winged sky]

Why am I even arguing this, I have much better things to do. I hope you find some morality where your brain used to be but I feel as though thats doubtful.

[thorny saddle]

"Scalping is effort" lol

[wheat torrent]

scalping is not the right term in this context

[valid fiber]

i bought a few sata ssd's this year. i might sell them for a profit in a few years after using them who knows
i wouldn't feel bad about it

[wheat torrent]

a scalper doesn't just buy a single product

scalping is done on a larger scale

[steel umbra]

it is up to the person, i believe it’s fine aslong it’s not essential products

[wheat torrent]

if someone buys something at a low price they arent a scalper

[thorny saddle]

you aren't making a profit on sata ssds with years of use lol

[winged sky]

...breh

[wheat torrent]

if you look on amazon for example a high amount of products are simply rebranded products from china sold at a higher price

[winged sky]

Thats one of the dumbest things ive heard today.

[thorny saddle]

Tell that to the dudes who camp micro center and have the GPU on FBM before they even start their car after getting one

[native path]

Can we move on from this topic already nobody is budging and nobody will budge

[steel umbra]

the intention matters

[wheat torrent]

all sort of misc objects, from household objects to monitor arms and whatever

[valid fiber]

they are MLC SSD's with super high enduurance. that stuff is not beeing produced anymore so it's not impossible

[steel umbra]

scalper is a person who expects to sell for a profit at purchase

[thorny saddle]

As someone who buys and sells storage, no one is paying more for years old SSDs

[south arrow]

I do moderate scalping only should the situation present itself if im honest

[winged sky]

Mmm yes intel optane. Yea no, no one is paying more for that

[valid fiber]

yup you might be right about that but we'll see how the world looks in 5 years or 10 years.

[south arrow]

But I try not to woth most things *

[steel umbra]

yes and it’s acceptable in our world

legit business, not scamming

[thorny saddle]

In 5 - 10 years SATA interfaces will probably not even be on boards any longer

[cold skiff]

Supply and demand. The basis for capitalism

[craggy cove]

ive noticed that mlc ssds are more expensive tho

[winged sky]

Sell them all to me in bulk for 30 bucks

[winged sky]

You say that as if its a crack addiction which is... extra concerning

[south arrow]

Lol well im a good guy but I do need money sometimes rn I got my pcs for the low to be kind

Butttt when 6000 series release its back to dog eat dog world

[winged sky]

What makes you think in 5 to 10 years those won't be completely obsolete

[thorny saddle]

I am going to go get a few at MC and sell them to you people for 30% more than I paid

[valid fiber]

optane was a wierd one. i wouldn't buy these because they don't retain data for a long time if left unpowered

[south arrow]

Thats valid, ill be doing similar

[winged sky]

Neither do regular ssds....

[craggy cove]

5 to 10 years anything can happen

[wheat torrent]

there is one thing when people buy products at a good price and sell it higher vs people who use bots to buy the whole stock

[craggy cove]

(they will probably be vintage)

[valid fiber]

actually SLC and MLC nand is quite good at that

[winged sky]

Still a concern with ssds in general

Its why you shouldn't use them for cold storage

[valid fiber]

yeah true

[thorny saddle]

No - it doesn't matter how you do it, the crime is in the intention not the method

[wheat torrent]

its not a crime and its normal

[south arrow]

Also good mornings coffee timessss

[wheat torrent]

stop with the moral high ground

[thorny saddle]

No

[winged sky]

I could fart really hard next to you in an elevator and leave. Its not a crime and its normal. But it doesnt make me any less of a dickbag.

[south arrow]

Pls dont do this lmao, "fatality"

[wheat torrent]

if you don't sell at a profit you cannot succeed

[thorny saddle]

I could come to your house for Christmas and shit in the back of your toilet and leave - shitting is normal thanks for dinner

[wheat torrent]

you cant make money by buying higher and selling lower

[thorny saddle]

You're not supposed to be making money on consumer PC hardware lol

[winged sky]

Tell me you're fundamentally misunderstanding this whole conversation without telling me you fundamentally misunderstand thise conversation.

[thorny saddle]

If you are building PCs you can mark up your labor

[wheat torrent]

oh wow consumer pc hardware are so special they need their own equal market

[steel umbra]

i find it +100% more moral to do it on pc hardware than on other things

like food

[thorny saddle]

I can't wait until you can't find a part

[winged sky]

Oh wait.. thats RAM RIGHT NOW

[steel umbra]

there is a difference between starving someone from food or starving someone from pc games and netflix

[thorny saddle]

I have plenty of RAM, too bad Ark can't have any

[wheat torrent]

the ram prices in my country has been the same prices you guys are having right now for years here

[winged sky]

Same. No RAM for ark

[thorny saddle]

I can't wait for it to go up 300% more

[south arrow]

Id probs ask you ngl lol, if i reallllly needed x part and couldnt find it

[wheat torrent]

I don't buy used, I buy from stores

the stores do the same thing scalpers do

[thorny saddle]

lol

[wheat torrent]

sell at a higher price

[thorny saddle]

Yes stores and scalpers are the same people

God you're all fucking broken

[craggy cove]

🍿

[wheat torrent]

if I need something that is not avaiable in a store it would of course make sense for that person to sell it at a profit unless its used and they just want to get rid of it

[thorny saddle]

You know what sucks for scalpers? Having to pay insurance for employees, building rent, utilities, shipping logistics.... corporate tax. Stores and scalpers have it bad man.

[wheat torrent]

The GPU I bought was from a person who brought used GPUs from germany and sold it here at a profit

[paper iris]

I avoid scalpers and go direct to nvidia factory itself

[wheat torrent]

they were much cheaper than GPUs from stores

[paper iris]

straight to the source

[thorny saddle]

I just go to nursing homes and buy rolexes from old rich ladies for $50 and then sell them for $10,000, its just what stores do

[wheat torrent]

if the person offers you a rolex for 50 dollars and you decline

youre such a good person

[golden sage]

could i briefly interrupt u guys to ask what was the cost of a trident z5 royal 48gb kit in your respective countries before this whole crisis?

[thorny saddle]

depends on the specs

[golden sage]

Cl34 7200 mts 24x2 intel xmp

[thorny saddle]

Also people should not be buying Royals

That was prob a $200-230 kit I'd guess

[south arrow]

Sounds right

[paper iris]

I saw that on an antiques show once. Someone tried selling a ring. The broker was like, "Dude, do you know what this is? It's worth 6 figures."

[true stirrup]

The prices really are crazy rn

[golden sage]

Tryna help a international friend thats why i was asking, thanks for the info 👍👍

[golden sage]

I assume this is in USD?

[thorny saddle]

Tell him his memory is worth $34 and then buy it and sell it for $500 fuck him

[thorny saddle]

ya

[wheat torrent]

you're turning buying at a good price to deceiving and lying to someone

[golden sage]

Oh he doesnt have the kit, he wants to buy one just like the one i have, i would give it to him for free but my current ram at RMA lmao

[south arrow]

Been offered: 3k like 4 times, 3 cars, 5 bikes/quads, and a partridge in a pear tree. Only selling for 4k https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pKNywY

[thorny saddle]

Make him clean your house and then charge him like $800

[valid fiber]

never searched for it before this nonsense
no idea where it was

[thorny saddle]

There is a special place in hells basement for scalpers

[steel umbra]

just like a scalper can behave or not behave ethically wrong a company can too

[golden sage]

🤣

[thorny saddle]

lol scalpers cannot behave ethically, its literally the fucking role of a scalper

[steel umbra]

ofc they can

[wheat torrent]

we got from buying at a low price and selling it for market value to deciving and lying to someone that their product is worth less then selling it for 500 dollars

🔥

[steel umbra]

buy X for $100, makes a listing for $200
do not say your price is good

[south arrow]

I did feel alittle bad selling so high for some things, but the people that purchased the things where understanding and happy

[thorny saddle]

I dunno whats worse, being morally bankrupt and wrong or being morally bankrupt, wrong, and consistent

[steel umbra]

i don’t scalp myself at all

[thorny saddle]

then stop promoting it

[winged sky]

[wheat torrent]

promoting what

define scalping

[steel umbra]

no srry

[wheat torrent]

we are talking about a certain type of behaviour then youre talking about lying to someone and trying to convince them their product is worth 35 dollars then selling for 500

[steel umbra]

well i lied worm i trade stocks

i always forget xd

(technically also scalping in essence)

[thorny saddle]

He keeps saying stock trading is scalping lol

[steel umbra]

buy low sell high

[wheat torrent]

he loves to buy high and sell low

moral highground

[thorny saddle]

Unintelligent strawman arguments lol

[valid fiber]

it's the same concept so he's right

[wheat torrent]

like your argument about lying to a granny about buying their rolex for 50 dollars?

[steel umbra]

why are you pulling logical fallacies when you used like 500 of them in this convo of which half was ad hominems

^ i used logical fallacy

[thorny saddle]

PS I think my sons school backpack and kvetinky stock portfolio have the same contents/value

[south arrow]

XD, silly geese. Also this coffee is slapping at 4am

[thorny saddle]

A couple pieces of gum, a random shoelace, and a book titled "Turtles"

[paper iris]

i like turtles

[wheat torrent]

what is the value of this argument

I do not understand what you're saying

[steel umbra]

braincell reduction

[thorny saddle]

lol

[south arrow]

I also like turtles

[thorny saddle]

Fuck scalpers lol

and fuck anyone defending scalpers holy shit

[south arrow]

I agree though even though I do alittle

[steel umbra]

s&p 500/1500 going ftw so far

[wheat torrent]

someone buying at the price the person is selling and then selling for a profit is not a scalper

even if he negociated for a lower price that's not a scalper

[thorny saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/felicia-day-my-dating-profile-says-herp-derp-gif-11970511

[south arrow]

Idk the context of this convo at all im just here

[golden sage]

Wait, why? (Other than the obvious of the price rn) i mean like before the crisis

[wheat torrent]

some goofy shit

[steel umbra]

never feed tortoise a milkshake

[wheat torrent]

I would love a milkshake rn

I should go and buy milk and bananas

[thorny saddle]

Well they're kind of ugg, but also, they are not even binned or anything - many of them do nothing better than standard trident z

[steel umbra]

im hungary now

:[

[thorny saddle]

take fiscal advice from a guy who is hungary

[golden sage]

I see, so mainly buying for just aesthetics at that point

pablo escobar ram

[thorny saddle]

a long time ago royals were binned

[steel umbra]

wat does this mean

[thorny saddle]

so unlike scalping, the reason there was an increase in cost was because the company spent time testing them at higher spec

[thorny saddle]

hungary is a fucking country

[steel umbra]

company = want profit

they test so product get better

and product compete which generate mone

[thorny saddle]

they were more expensive because there is time invested in testing bins.....

nothing more

[steel umbra]

i meant the first part

i live next to hungary so i know…

[thorny saddle]

genius at work

[steel umbra]

Lol couldnt help it

[steel umbra]

this is not about scalping but capitalism, g.skill wants to sell you ram for as high as possible

[sinful cobalt]

they dont do specifically XOC ram or whatever… they test the bins of their memory chips and bin out the ones that can do these numbers

Its the same shit as silicon lottery

[wheat torrent]

man they are buying from ram chips from samsung or hynix at a lower price!

[steel umbra]

xoc stands for just extreme overclocking, a better binned silicon is more suitable for that

[sinful cobalt]

did this guy read anything I put out

or did it just go in one eye and out the other

So not surprising

we’ll what did i expect getting to trying to suggest someone buying tech low and selling high on a tech server

[winged sky]

Then why are you still doing it.

Seriously. None of this would be an issue if you didnt push dumb shit.

[steel umbra]

because it’s normal

[winged sky]

Doesn't make it ok in the slightest.

Im not doing this again. Take your morally bankrupt ass somewhere else.

[steel umbra]

you have a different meter for some things just like i do
i don’t find eating animals uhh ethical but for others it’s fine

which is okay

[steel umbra]

scalping is just reselling

nothing else

[sinful cobalt]

“I upcharged this single mom of 4’s food at my diner” type shit

[winged sky]

Its ok to admit being be wrong. We'll tolerate you once you stop spreading bullshit

[steel umbra]

no, i stand behind my arguments

[winged sky]

Then you arent wanted here

[steel umbra]

welp, that’s your choice

i will stay.

[winged sky]

And you will be laughed at

[steel umbra]

one man’s trash is another man’s treasure

[sinful cobalt]

this is like talking to that one overconfident fella you somehow call “your friend” who refuses to look the other direction and admit their fault

[winged sky]

I cut these people out of my life because holy hell they are insufferable.

[sinful cobalt]

I know 2 of them and holy they are full of fuckin shit

both of them also start with the letter J

[pearl fossil]

guys i could legit daily drive this laptop it's not bad for what i mainly do

[winged sky]

Jonkler and jorkler

[pearl fossil]

i mean it will be pretty bad at any demanding tasks but for everyday use it's more than enough

damn this is actually not that bad

[steel umbra]

what’s the point in me admitting fault when my opinion doesn’t change?

[winged sky]

What do you do on the laptop

[pearl fossil]

like i can still browse the modern internet, emulate old games, etc

[sinful cobalt]

he’s just high on copium rn

[steel umbra]

also, how do ad hominems help in this situation

it adds no value to the conversation

[pearl fossil]

well on this laptop i'm just doing web browsing, watching youtube, word processing, retro game emulation, and that's about all i'd use this for

it's pretty chunky and bulky

gets hot

[steel umbra]

i like how you guys went out of your ways and call me whatever (a lot of ad hominems) just to justify that scalping is really bad

[pearl fossil]

but it's usable, legit quieter than my 2015 mbp i had before my m4 15" air

i probably could do windows xp on this thing and everything would be the same

like i'd still be able to do everything i can do on vista

[winged sky]

Put linux on it

[pearl fossil]

7 should run well too

[pearl fossil]

never

i will never use linux again unless absolutely necessary

[winged sky]

Better than some old crusty OS that doesnt receive security patches

[pearl fossil]

idc if i don't get security patches, not like i have much data i care about on this thing

[latent tundra]

need help with what should I pick. For yapping and portofolio purposes bcs I wanna write stuff sometimes, probably even write guides

• Don't want to use WordPress due to recent meltdown and exploits
• Tf is wrong with blogger peeps why is there no guide or documentation to properly adapt blogger page into mobile
• Google sites?
• Github page has small storage
• Squarespace
• Joomla is too complicated and the only guide I have is a book from my mom that is from 2013 (?)
• Hostinger?
• Cloudflare pages + R2?

[winged sky]

Whats wrong with linux anyway XD

[steel umbra]

less convenience

[winged sky]

Riiiiight as if your opinions matter here

[steel umbra]

are you trying to ostracize me even if i’m not wrong?

[winged sky]

Based on everything you've said already, your opinions are meaningless

[pearl fossil]

i tried maining linux before but it's not for me, i'm sure it works great for some people but i rely on mainstream software a lot and linux just doesn't work well for that

[winged sky]

All the things you described you use that laptop for work out of the box on linux....

[pearl fossil]

getting apps all installed and setup can be a pain too

[steel umbra]

one ideology wrong = everything bad

[pearl fossil]

yeah but i don't want to do anything else on this laptop, like i have an m4 macbook air as my main anyways

[winged sky]

Again, completely missing the point.

[winged sky]

That... explains a lot

[pearl fossil]

and this might be controversial but i have nostalgia for vista, don't judge me

[winged sky]

Linux vista

[steel umbra]

which point clarify…

[pearl fossil]

well as much nostalgia as a young person can have anyways

[winged sky]

No :p

[steel umbra]

gatekeeper

[winged sky]

I dont care enough about you to do that

[steel umbra]

“completely missing the point”

• asks for the reason
  “no”

[wheat torrent]

your point is "Based on everything you've said already, your opinions are meaningless "

[pearl fossil]

whatever, vista works well enough, sp2 64 bit with an ssd and 4gb ram is usable

[wheat torrent]

aka your wrong I am right

[winged sky]

So close and yet so far

[pearl fossil]

most complaints about vista were from the beginning anyways and they improved it quite a bit by the end

[steel umbra]

i replied to that with “one ideology wrong = everything bad”

[wheat torrent]

yes

but apparently that's not his point

it's some mysterious hidden meaning point that he cannot explain

[winged sky]

Omg if I must break it down for your simple mind to understand: I dont give a fuck about your opinion because you've already proved you cannot be reasoned with on top of being immorral.

End of conversation.

[wheat torrent]

period 💅

[steel umbra]

why do you think i replied to you in the first place

they were looking for an os

not you

[winged sky]

Yeahhh but I still wouldnt trust it, if ya log into stuff in that web browser it could be compromised from being on an outdated OS

[steel umbra]

you used a blatant general oversimiplifaction

“what’s wrong with linux anyways?”

implying

[winged sky]

You really dont know when to shut up do you

Nobody asked

[steel umbra]

you’re showing true colors wonderful…

[winged sky]

Nobody cares. Move on.

[wheat torrent]

Move on everyone Dr. Haze said so

[pearl fossil]

let's all calm down istg the same few people have been arguing for hours

[winged sky]

Ok.

@pearl fossil just make sure ya dont log into anything important on that laptop

[wheat torrent]

ehh

[winged sky]

Or do

I'm a sign not a cop

[steel umbra]

you can setup a firewall and vm

not so convenient tho

but you can

your router will do most of the weight lightning anyways even with an older os, don’t install random junk especially, if you don’t set up extra precautions

I'm using a fiio ka1 to connect my phone pixel 10 to my car that doesn't have android auto or Bluetooth, is there a way to make it detect that I'm connected to a car and not headphones so I don't get the annoying and sometimes dangerous volume warning and automatic lowering

it was always ram or psu that was the cheapest part how times have changed

[proven ravine]

hi guys i just got a question so im gonna build a pc with a ryzen 7 9800x3d idk if that is a good cpu heard both bad and good things about it but question is what gpu is a good one to pear with it

[neon vapor]

Or does android just not gaf that a huge portion of its users doesn't use their phone for volume control and is purely just the signal source

[pseudo spire]

Why ram prices are sky rocket

[hearty olive]

you can pair literally any gpu with it

[neon vapor]

Company that owns crucial is ending it's consumer market

[hearty olive]

just depends on how much budget you have left

[neon vapor]

And is gonna sell directly to data centers largely made for ai instead

[hearty olive]

i would say that if you get anything below a 5060ti 16gb or equivalent from an older generation, you’re kinda wasting your money on the 9800x3d

[proven ravine]

i mean im looking between a 9070 or a 5060

But why

[hearty olive]

9070 is far better than the 5060

how to fix amd overlay? when i alt tab from amd adrenaline to hogwarts legacy that is windowed fullscreen, it disappears and turning off and on overlay when being in hogwarts legacy doesnt help

[proven ravine]

thanks man willl get one orderd

[neon vapor]

Ai is damn near a trillion dollar market (not fact checked) RN and the consumer market costs a lot to sell to while selling bulk to data centers doesn't have the distribution costs of the consumer market, making marginal profits at a what they deemed unnecessary cost

Is my guess

[hearty olive]

"trillion dollar market"

[oblique jay]

Hey, im trying to mount my aoc AG276QZD2 to a monitor arm, not done it before so a little confused. Seen some people saying the vessel mount is behind the plastic but from picture it looks like it only sits on these 2 screws? Anyone that knows more thsb i do able to help me figure this out 😂

not secure?

y'all are so paranoid abt security

Let's suggest ai companies to use those for their ai centers

SSDs that use ddr5

[mental delta]

their buying up memory anyways lol, storage prices are going up because more fab space is being allocated to making memory 😭 usually ai models are loaded in their entirety to memory

so this is just a fun science project, anyone serious about data storage would never use a battery as their data storage (yes i know its ram, but you get the idea, its the most likely thing to fail)

[wheat torrent]

Yes

So make them use 4 extra sticks of memory just for storage

Or well probably like 8

[mental delta]

also density matters too, ai models are terabyte in size (those big models like full fat gpt)

[wheat torrent]

Yes I was being sarcastic suggesting ai companies to make it worse than it already is

[mental delta]

fair

[wheat torrent]

Once it reaches mass production idk if it's a fun science project

I don't know how many units were created

[oblique jay]

Anyone havve any pointers on what I need to do or buy for this to be compatible?

Screen is the aoc AG276QZD2
Mount is the huanuo hnds6

[mental delta]

lol, ram is still expensive regardless, for the price of 32gb ddr4 i can get 1tb nvme (and ddr3 didnt have much memory density overall, you have like 8 sticks just to store 200gb?)

[wheat torrent]

Apparently there was 2 cards back in the day

[wheat torrent]

It used to cost 15000 dollars for the card

Allegedly according to this forum post

well its a native emulator so yeah

[pearl fossil]

it's tricky because it treats chr-rom as prg

some emulators break that

[spring latch]

the CPU part is pretty simple
convert 6502 instructions to x86, it can be dangerous if a special opcode is misued but the fault handler should catch it and kernel panic

[pearl fossil]

do you have the invalid ones done too?

[spring latch]

conversion saves full emulation overhead and lets most of the CPUs work be directed to the PPU

[pearl fossil]

not like any retail games use it really

[spring latch]

it has all 151 opcodes implemented or whatever so probably

[pearl fossil]

yeah so all of them

[spring latch]

151 opcodes 56 instructions

it runs Windows 7 amazing, using ATIs native GPU drivers (and not dells XP only drivers) i do get Aero and it is smooth

how much m.2 drives can you fit on your mainboard? and how much sata ports do you have?

if its mediatek they have their own thing

[warm dome]

aight :/
i couldnt find much shit online thats why im here

[left dove]

samsung has their own exynos tool as well

there's always a lower level env to boot into fyi

[warm dome]

i love trying to sell stuff on FBMP

[left dove]

bruh

[slow sable]

Don’t sell shi on facebook

Best deals are at furry cons

[empty quartz]

No

[slow sable]

LMSS

[left dove]

Okay, but can you make the display face-tracking so it always shows to the operator

[kindred halo]

That's..
I love it, SSD bay

[left dove]

ssd slay

(m.2 still better)

[kindred halo]

What about us?

[left dove]

midwest furfest, people pressured Max's poor robodog to do a trick he wasn't rated for and it fried his motor controller board :(

[valid fiber]

my board has 1 m.2 slot thats it
any more just had to be sata

[left dove]

@slow sable What is it that you do for work

Are you a DARPAdork

[azure topaz]

for what lol

wrong reply i give up im doing my second sleep

[left dove]

[fallow falcon]

Seems everyone is talking RAM. Perfect time for me to drop in, kinda needed some advice

[left dove]

dont buy now

[fallow falcon]

So...kinda got a new beast, also wasn't planned and don't think I'm rich. Friend gave me a ton of $ worth of new hardware for a fraction of the value

[left dove]

@azure topaz dont go to bed yet

[fallow falcon]

Nah, no need to buy. I've got enough RAM for the next 10 years I think.

Problem is partially that.

[latent gull]

ram isnt consumable unless you just like the taste of the chips

[valid fiber]

i don't see the problem

[rigid fjord]

or they do something stupid and end up frying them

[azure topaz]

steak too juicy lobster too buttery i’ll send you my p.o. box if needed

[latent gull]

thats not consumable though, thats just a mistake

[fallow falcon]

Currently have 160gb in there. 2x32, 2x48.
Since it's using all 4 slots, I think for stability they're running at 3600 mt/s rather than the 5200 mt/s they are rated for.

[azure topaz]

this is not true it’s delicious

[rigid fjord]

this is terrible

[azure topaz]

i’m not helping you mixmatch kits and try to push the limits of signal integrity

[fallow falcon]

Yeah. Wanted to figure out if taking out the extra 64 was a better plan.

[azure topaz]

respectfully either take one kit out or get one that’s identical at least

[latent gull]

yeah thats why i said earlier if you like the taste of the chips

[azure topaz]

do you do anything that needs ram particularly??

[fallow falcon]

It came with all of 'em installed. I didn't buy 'em, my friend who gave me the beast put 'em there and I just didn't take them out.

[azure topaz]

clearly not. take the 64gb kit out

problem solved enjoy

[valid fiber]

yup i don't see a scenario where mixing it would be a good idea

[azure topaz]

a scenario where you need more ram

but this isn’t one of those i doubt he uses even 64

[rigid fjord]

what floppa said, and if you're using am5, you should be running 6000mt/s kits

[left dove]

listen to floppa he's our resident RAM expert

[fallow falcon]

Probably ended up mixed because friend who gave me the PC was moving his kits around. Originally he inteded to leave only 64. Then the guy realized he didn't have anything to put 'em in.

[azure topaz]

i charge 75$ an hour

[left dove]

I'll get you a pizza or something

[azure topaz]

17 free messages on a topic

[rigid fjord]

cheap

[left dove]

17 slices!

[fallow falcon]

So he put whatever he had left back in there. They're same brand, speed, and same cas latency at least, so I thought they'd work

[azure topaz]

no

[left dove]

meow meow meow meow meow meow

[valid fiber]

i didn't even mix kits and people started screaming at me that 2 sticks are better than 4 all the time

[azure topaz]

basically

[fallow falcon]

(and no, I clearly have no use for 96 nor 160. The guy is the one coding)

[azure topaz]

okay so sell all of them and buy a 32gb kit

[fallow falcon]

And lose a friend? nah. I'll take out and return the 64

[azure topaz]

if bro sold you the computer i don’t think he should care what you do with it but go off

[somber zealot]

dang.

[azure topaz]

i give my friends computers because i don’t want to see them anymore not because i love them

[somber zealot]

trade it for a 5090 fr

[azure topaz]

get that shit out of my house bro yeah take it

[fallow falcon]

bro sold me 3600$ of hardware for 1000.

all unused, mind ya.

So yeah, would be a bitch move to sell.

[azure topaz]

and therefore he probably doesn’t worry about money/doesn’t care what you do with it clearly lol

[rigid fjord]

can only claim that if it has a 5090 in it

[azure topaz]

i do shit literally just like that all the time. i give away gaming computers because i do not want them in my house

[vale reef]

sticks of ddr5 ram 🤤

[fallow falcon]

nah, got 160gb of ram, a ryzen 9 9950x, liquid cooling, etc.

[left dove]

DIMM traces make delicious pasta substitutions

[fallow falcon]

GPU wasn't included in the 3600 haha

[azure topaz]

to the same $ extent? no but i certainly donate a lot of hardware lmao

[brave brook]

i do not give them away because i do not want others with all the half working hardware

[rigid fjord]

wouldn't make it a 3600 pc though

[fallow falcon]

With current ram price, yes.

Otherwise, no, agreed.

[rigid fjord]

nah, still a 2k pc at best

[azure topaz]

yeah this is why i have a lot of the hardware i do currently

[somber zealot]

Dang that’s awesome

[azure topaz]

a lot of broken or at least partially broken

but other stuff it’s just sitting around and works so it goes bye bye

[fallow falcon]

last I checked, 64gb of corsair vengeance goes for 900 on their website.
But anyhow giving those back since it clearly sounds like it's better for the system to take them out.

[azure topaz]

no particular interest for 4 different am4 boards

[spring latch]

wm test

[fallow falcon]

Thanks for the help 🙇‍♂️

[somber zealot]

yeah, definitely

[brave brook]

still, something like X99 with Xeon, meh, uses too much power

[rigid fjord]

the price increased due to AI, but that's a $300 kit

[somber zealot]

not anymore brah

[azure topaz]

yeah…i’m literally debating on if my friends little brother would have a reasonable time on x99

[brave brook]

still 😄

[spring latch]

abseloutely still

[somber zealot]

I’ll take it if your friend don’t want it yk yk

[fallow falcon]

I am talking current (AI-shit-induced) market value, not general. i agree it should be nowhere near 900

[rigid fjord]

64gb of 5200, not 6000 dude

[spring latch]

its weird how server RAM being in shortage is affecting consumer RAM prices

[brave brook]

those are mine i bought for 240 euros

[rigid fjord]

ah, well still

[brave brook]

223.90 € actually

[rigid fjord]

personally wouldn't trust nor touch corsair ram

[spring latch]

my dads PC has corsiar ram

[rigid fjord]

my condolences

[spring latch]

not much, infact the 2x8GB kit was from a box of tech i found in a dumpster

[slow sable]

I work in defence robotics

[spring latch]

16GB DDR4 3200MHz (tho the CPU limits it to 2400MHz)

[slow sable]

I’m unfortunately not allowed to name the company bc we do DoD contracts and I’m under an nda for some company specific details

[rigid fjord]

shoulda left them there

[hexed tapir]

Claymore Roombas?

[rigid fjord]

filame throwing dog bots

[somber zealot]

what is DoD

department of defense?!

[rigid fjord]

department of defense

[left dove]

[spring latch]

what is wrong with corsair RAM

[somber zealot]

ah lol

[hexed tapir]

Dod isn't a real thing

[left dove]

I'm immediately more interested tbh

DO YALL SEE

Furries are smART AS FUCK

[hexed tapir]

Got anything you can leak in the war thunder forums involving tanks or planes ?

[rigid fjord]

apart from their cost, there's the issue of 50 different ram dies being used on ddr4 and 5 on ddr5, and with many of them being either unstable or not hitting their advertised speeds

[left dove]

Furries made the ubiquitous pulse/ox sensor you find in nearly all smartwatches!!

[spring latch]

unstable my ass i changed tCL from 16 to 14 and tRCD from 18 to 16 and its perfectly fine

[hexed tapir]

Then why do they waste so much money on fur suits

[brave brook]

was said to be 6000CL30 EXPO, runs at 6000CL30 EXPO, that is enough for me

[left dove]

Because they have money to burn, darling

[spring latch]

and regardless free ram is free ram

[rigid fjord]

make some fur suits,
gain their money,
??????
proft

[hexed tapir]

Corsair literally used microns garbage bin ram they sold under a different name

[spring latch]

free ram is still free RAM, and if its stable then why care

[hexed tapir]

looks at my FedEx driver furry DND buddy

[rigid fjord]

corsair's choice of dies is basically from the reject bins of everyone else's

[azure topaz]

nothing

[sharp ivy]

based opinion

I am completely unbiased

[azure topaz]

this is the dumbest thing i’ve read as to what constitutes them at being bad at making memory

[spring latch]

unless his ram suddenly dies i think corsair is fine, and if it does we still have the stock 8GB stick

[azure topaz]

nothing is wrong with corsair memory

[sharp ivy]

Rather improvised extractor fan setup currently

[left dove]

what the fuck

[spring latch]

saying its unstable considering i overclocked it without increasing voltages and its perfectly stable seems very contradictory 🤔

[azure topaz]

spectek? yeah, i hate to break it to you, everyone else doing this

[rigid fjord]

missing the carbon filter

[hexed tapir]

spectek stinky

[azure topaz]

the people who are putting hte ic's on the chips, so people like corsair and so on literally buy from the cheapest vendor that will do whatever XMP bin

if its a 6K C36 kit why in the world would any company striving to make a profit choose the more expensive hynix memory when the other vendors can do that fine

[sharp ivy]

Yes

[azure topaz]

it doesnt make sense why one would hate on corsair for that but lnot literally EVERY OTHER VENDOR

bro im pretty sure crucial themselves has/had kits with samsung in it

[sharp ivy]

Currently soldering the boards for my Protogen head

[spring latch]

my acer computer is funny, the stick and the CPU are rated for 2400MHz but the BIOS forces the RAM to run at 2666MHz

[azure topaz]

weird

[sharp ivy]

just 4 more 8x8 matrices and a 8x32 to go

[rigid fjord]

some ballistix kits that are 4000mt/s+ had some samsung dies in

[spring latch]

my acer computer has a samsung stick lol

[azure topaz]

ram vendor, unless overclocking, is essentially useless

[spring latch]

nothing wrong with it just odd that acers bios forces 2666MHz

[azure topaz]

there is no level of quality to any vendor

[brave brook]

and now everyone is only getting reject bins anyway

[azure topaz]

you put the kit in you turn on xmp and hope it works

it potentially not working iis a universal experience not limited to corsair

id say corsair has pretty ok binning standards for DDR5 even, patriot and SP have bene the worst at it recently

[spring latch]

and like i said, i overclocked my dads PC memory and if it works fine with stock 1.33V (well thats the boards stock, probably not the RAMs) then the bin probably isnt bad, but this is DDR4, i dont know about DDR5

[azure topaz]

1.35 is probably the stock, which is what the board is setting, it just under/overshoots slightly

[spring latch]

ive never touched DDR5 in my entire life, except the new lenovo school chromebooks which have 4800MT/s LPDDR5x

[azure topaz]

hardly ddr5 still

[slow sable]

Nuh

Incorrect

[left dove]

Ye.

No I'm totally right

[slow sable]

Nuh

[left dove]

I'm 100% right you can't prove me wrong

[azure topaz]

damn

[left dove]

IMPOSSIBLE TASK

[azure topaz]

she used percents mjust be true

[left dove]

Even taskmaster said "fuck no"

[azure topaz]

you can tell when i really want to ram oc cause i start busting out the charts and graphs

[spring latch]

make it 110% to make it undeniably true

[azure topaz]

"nah bro itll blow your mind"

[ivory mountain]

so close to christmas omggg

[rigid fjord]

spent most of the day rebuilding my ender 3 because mods btw

[azure topaz]

what are you getting me

[left dove]

NOICE

[spring latch]

i remember overclocking my GT 730 Kepler, always fun. Stable? no. Did I do it anyways? yeah

[slow sable]

Very fun job tho

[ivory mountain]

i wish i could get u something buddy

[spring latch]

i thought this was a vaccum cleaner for a moment

[azure topaz]

this is how i loookj and feel while geeked

3/4 of a fent fold

inverse fent fold

[ivory mountain]

is bykski solid for budget watercooling parts? i cant justify spending $200 on a cpu block when the gpu block is $140

[spring latch]

this is what i look like when the teachers make us pair up in language arts cuz i have nof riends!!!!!!!111111!

[steel umbra]

yes they’re ok

[ivory mountain]

alr thanks
