tech-chat-1

[winter lantern]

No its shit in an entertainment way

[buoyant bridge]

itll run the same FPS on anything from a GTX 970 and better lol

[azure topaz]

genuine skill issue

[indigo temple]

what u think guys if i would offer my 1080ti and 200 for 3080 would he accept (he has listed it for 320 or 290 tbh idont remmber )

[winter lantern]

I mean you can just message them it aint hard

[indigo temple]

yeah but it was question like before hand to know if im overpaying or underpaying

i dont wanna be ruse iwth my offer

rude*

[buoyant bridge]

does nobody in this server that talks about prices know the art of lowballing

[warm anvil]

swapping to linux now chat wish me luck

[winter lantern]

Theres no such thing as lowballing

[buoyant bridge]

ur distro is bad

[indigo temple]

i got my coolermaster pro 5 case for 30 and its msrp WAS 199 when it was new

[buoyant bridge]

all my hosses would say otherwise

[warm anvil]

im a beginner idc

[winter lantern]

Why would you tho

To be different?

[warm anvil]

very low end device

[buoyant bridge]

DONT start with ubuntu please

[winter lantern]

Crazy

[warm anvil]

????

[warm anvil]

its ubuntu cinnamon

[buoyant bridge]

all versions of unbuntu suck

ubuntu is barely lighter than windows lmfao

[winter lantern]

Bro gonna go back to windows a day later

[warm anvil]

ok well if i dont like it ill swap back

[winter lantern]

Linux is barely even lighter than windows

[warm anvil]

w11

[buoyant bridge]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ney2YiZBe48 bullshit lol

this game barely runs under windows on this laptop (around 20 FPS)

[tidal geyser]

?

what

[warm anvil]

dude i idle like 80 percent ram usage on my laptop and like 50 percent cpu usage

[subtle oak]

Ummm, maybe follow a tutorial on how to do this

[buoyant bridge]

the ram usage is fine

[warm anvil]

and i cant run the games that have anticheats tho

[buoyant bridge]

you want ram use to be high it means your ram is being used effectively

[warm anvil]

i know how to use a bootable drive?

[tidal geyser]

you just cant play 52 games for sure

[winter lantern]

I mean windows just uses it cause why not

8gb on idle 🔥

[buoyant bridge]

it uses it for cache

[tidal geyser]

memory leaks

[buoyant bridge]

check out ram map itll show you whats actually going on

[winter lantern]

I think you use more ram the more ram you have tho

Like I dont think you'll be using 8 idle if you have 8

[buoyant bridge]

Windows 11 itself can run in as low as 1.5gb without any optimization

[warm anvil]

i have 8gb of ddr4 💔

[buoyant bridge]

but it wants atleast 2gb to make healthy amounts of cache

and ideally it wants to use atleast 8gb

[winter lantern]

I can tell

Bros phone got more ram

[warm anvil]

isnt the limit set by microsoft 4gb for w11

[warm anvil]

it does 💔

i use an old laptop but im over half way to saving for my pc

[hexed sage]

Dang

[buoyant bridge]

its a soft requirement you can just ignore it

[tidal geyser]

8"

[buoyant bridge]

anywaysthis is 32GB of ram

[hexed sage]

My phone has 24gb RAM

[winter lantern]

I have a laptop and a desktop of the same gpu ans there Lowkey isnt that much of a difference

[warm anvil]

where do i see this'

[tidal geyser]

no

[buoyant bridge]

this is rammap

[tidal geyser]

das boost or whatever

[buoyant bridge]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap

[winter lantern]

Damn mine has 8

Its a low mid range so it makes sense

[buoyant bridge]

nah some weird asus phones actually offer 24gb

[warm anvil]

i have either 8 or 16 i dont remember

[buoyant bridge]

my phone has 16GB :D

Pixel 10 Pro Fold 1TB

[warm anvil]

damn i got 6gb of ram

[winter lantern]

Redmagic phones seem cool 😔

[warm anvil]

im using google pixel 6a

[tidal geyser]

yea snap 8 elite gen 5 can do 24

[warm anvil]

i could never use a folding phone

[winter lantern]

They dont support mobile data though so they lowkey suck ass

[hexed sage]

Nah

[buoyant bridge]

the pixel folds (except the original one) have a normal aspect ratio on the front screen and they're not thick as fuck

[buoyant bridge]

wdym?

[warm anvil]

cant a bit of sand destroy a folding phone

[buoyant bridge]

only the older samsungs

[warm anvil]

ohh

[winter lantern]

Most carriers dont support them

[buoyant bridge]

r u outside the US lol

[winter lantern]

Im in the us

[warm anvil]

alrighty my iso file is done transfering to my drive

[buoyant bridge]

cus every carrier that isnt using AT&T towers in the US litterally does not care what phone you use

[warm anvil]

I restart into my BIOS and windows forces an update onto me

Classic

[buoyant bridge]

as long as the phone doesn't have to drop to CDMA (android 13 and up require you to be able to make IP calls) for phone calls you can use it in the US nowadays regardless of the listed compatibility with the carrier

except AT&T carriers theyll shut off ur line and make you call them if you put the sim in a incompatible phone

[winter lantern]

Phones dont use sims anymore tho

They use esims

[buoyant bridge]

then just load your esim its not hard to do yourself

and only iphones dropped the physical sim card slot afaik

[ivory mountain]

if ur a beginner use gentoo

[winter lantern]

I mean my phone has one but it uses an esim

The slot is there

[buoyant bridge]

you can just put a normal sim card in

its a dual sim phone

[winter lantern]

Well they used an esim so I did that

[buoyant bridge]

google won't give you a GMS cert if you dont have a functional sim card slot

so ALL current android phones with play store have a sim card slot that works

[winter lantern]

Lowkey spending more thsn 800 on a phone doesn't sound that appealing

[buoyant bridge]

I only paid $300 for my 10 Pro fold

[winter lantern]

Dang I paid 400 for an s24

And its not good now

[buoyant bridge]

I just buy my phones from bell in canada and put my US verizon sim in as the second sim card

I have a US and canadian phone line since I travel between the US and Canada a lot

[winter lantern]

Is living at the border cool or nah

[buoyant bridge]

I don't live at the border

[winter lantern]

Crazy

[buoyant bridge]

I make this drive on the regular

its how I put 40-60K miles on a truck in under a year

[warm anvil]

I tried to boot from my usb and for some reason but locker blocked it😭

[buoyant bridge]

locker?

[warm anvil]

Bitlocker

I disabled it now so it should be fine

[buoyant bridge]

bitlocker didnt block it you just didnt even boot from the USB

[warm anvil]

I did

[delicate zodiac]

Can you mix 2 ram sticks from 2 diffrent manufacturers if ddr platform is same and speed too?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah

unless its ecc sometimes

[warm anvil]

Lemme try again

[frozen quartz]

can anyone help me with laptops? I want a laptop for 500€ for school and coding and some light gaming what should i get?

[buoyant bridge]

T series thinkpad

find a used one

[frozen quartz]

yes, but which model and what gpu should I get for those?

[buoyant bridge]

whatever last gen was and the igpus in them are fine for gaming

laptops with dgpus r dumb for school

[rigid fjord]

this is only true of specific dgpu's that's on both desktop and laptop formats

[frozen quartz]

a lot of people say get a macbook air m1 but they are expensive if I want good configuration like storage and ram. I also saw a 2019 macbook pro 16 2019 with max configuration I think i9-9980hk 32gb 512gb ssd and amd pro 560x used for 400€. should I get that or get a gaming or thinkpad with a proper gpu I might game too so idk the gpu in mac is trash for anything

[buoyant bridge]

do not get a used intel macbook

[rigid fjord]

this realistically depends on if you're running a 32bit or 64bit version of windows

[rigid fjord]

this is a really bad take

[buoyant bridge]

Win11 32 bit doesn't exist

[frozen quartz]

I do heavy development so I need a multi core cpu and ecc memory and sometimes maybe need a quadro or pro gpu for vms testing

[buoyant bridge]

laptops dont ever have ECC memory except some special WS models

and quadros r found in stuff like P series thinkpads

[frozen quartz]

yes that what I'm looking for

[tidal geyser]

intel macs always had their issues

[buoyant bridge]

you also generally cant do GPU passthrough on a laptop

[winter lantern]

I mean userbenchmark says the desktop gpu is 65% better but actually using both of them theyre not much different preformence wise

[tidal geyser]

apple really just is the market when it comes to long lasting quality laptops for cheap

[buoyant bridge]

dell precisions and thinkpad P series stuff is not happening under $500 for anything fairly recent

[warm anvil]

There we go booting from the usb worked this time

[frozen quartz]

yes but it seems really good and it's not 15 inch it's 16 which doesn't have heat problems at least that what I read on reddit

[warm anvil]

Idk what happened last time

[rigid fjord]

right there shows an iq level issue, the fact you used such a shitshow of a website that fakes it's results

[tidal geyser]

still has the issue of not lasting long

[buoyant bridge]

this is a laptop that can take ECC ram but its also 9 years old

[warm anvil]

Ignore dirty screen I never actually use my laptop screen

[tidal geyser]

meh its fine

[clear pebble]

GUYS!! It has ram!

[tidal geyser]

1660 super :3

[frozen quartz]

I don't care about recent at least like above 8th Intel and for quadro idk something like rtx 2000 series

[clear pebble]

The ram is already worth 300 for the rgb

[winter lantern]

Its fine when you compare nvidia with nvidia and when its not new hardware

[tidal geyser]

also das a 8th or 9th gen cpu

[buoyant bridge]

look at Dell Precisions or Lenovo P series laptops with a Xeon, if you want ECC on a laptop the Xeons are the only choice

[rigid fjord]

and requires a holesaw to fix it's cooling issues with the case

[tidal geyser]

is ddr4 really worth that much

the back fan does not look to spin

[winter lantern]

No

[mint umbra]

I might sell my cpu and get a lower end one since I dont need such a powerful cpu

[rigid fjord]

nope, not even fine then, you need to check proper benchmarks,

[azure topaz]

no it is not

[clear pebble]

Yeah the fans were oriented wrong too

[mint umbra]

since at 4k cpu dont really make a difference

[rigid fjord]

this is a completely dumbarsed take

[clear pebble]

Almost 300

[rigid fjord]

and not worth 300

[tidal geyser]

that is new?

[azure topaz]

facepalm

[buoyant bridge]

huh I didn't know Intel offers ECC on 13/14th gen laptops and apparently Ryzen AI pro does too

[tribal estuary]

I put my PC specs into PC part picker and it said $2058, I spent less than $1000 for all of the parts 😁

[mint umbra]

maybe ill sell cpu and get like a 7600

[clear pebble]

Yeah ik but I need a streaming pc anyways so imo, its worth

[ivory mountain]

just buy it new on ebay if you want it that bad lmao

[azure topaz]

oh my god the brainlets are in full force

[mint umbra]

dont need a 7800x3d for my needs

[tribal estuary]

Ts is a steal

[ivory mountain]

not even worth $200 lmao, as soon as the box is opened and ram is installed its used

[clear pebble]

Ooo, white ain't bad would go great in my main pc

[rigid fjord]

desktop wise, amd even offers ecc ram use with all but apu's

[azure topaz]

no it is NOT

[glossy veldt]

forbidden sandwich

[ivory mountain]

no its not, same kit was $60 a year ago lmao

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/shayne-slowly-dying-inside-dying-inside-topp-reddit-stories-gif-6641552829341745460

[azure topaz]

you can get 32GB of bdie for like 130$ as of yesterday

[buoyant bridge]

have they let you actually use the ECC ram or do they still just support booting it

[tribal estuary]

Oh I thought it was ddr5 mb

[plain cypress]

What is it

[winter lantern]

Common sense tells me theres a big enough difference in preformence

[azure topaz]

actually good ram

[ivory mountain]

good find nerd

[buoyant bridge]

AM4 cpus would almost all boot ECC except for APUs but you couldn't actually use ECC

[azure topaz]

not really man thats overpriced

[glossy veldt]

clutch plates from a quadbike

[azure topaz]

i paid like 40$ for my bdie or something LOL

[mint umbra]

what a decent mid range cpu for am5

getting rid of my 7800x3d

[azure topaz]

you dont have many freaking choices

[ivory mountain]

just buy a 7500f or some shit idk

[glossy veldt]

this shite here

[plain cypress]

I gotta change my oil today

[glossy veldt]

bro look at the fucking oil

[rigid fjord]

that becomes more mobo dependent instead as many brands don't allow for it on their lower end models and many mid range mobo models

[mint umbra]

I should have done reasarch that cpus dont matter as much at 4k

[plain cypress]

Why is it on the floor

[mint umbra]

so I over paid for my cpu

[glossy veldt]

its not that's because it rained

[plain cypress]

You just figured this out?

[plain cypress]

What did you buy

[glossy veldt]

the oil was like black black

[mint umbra]

7800x3d

[azure topaz]

id just keep it bro

[glossy veldt]

completely burnt, and there was a lot of particulate on the engine

[buoyant bridge]

they still matter pretty heavily just ur GPU becomes the bottleneck

[mint umbra]

why Its overkill

[tidal geyser]

not worth the effort

[plain cypress]

You won't have to think about CPU upgrade for many years

[tidal geyser]

end up with like 100$ in the plus

[mint umbra]

I could sell it and be up money

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/job-jumpscare-job-application-job-meme-job-jumpscare-gif-5102454363566376023

[plain cypress]

You could sell a kidney and be up money

[azure topaz]

TRUE

[ivory mountain]

the effort to save not even $200 isnt worth it honestly

[buoyant bridge]

you could get a job and be up money

[mint umbra]

I have a job mate

[tidal geyser]

i just sell my possessions

[tidal geyser]

get a better one

[ivory mountain]

u can sell drugs and be up money too

[plain cypress]

Actually I'd rather sell Sim's kidney

[tidal geyser]

no way he is getting 200 in plus for it

[rigid fjord]

nope, you can easily pair up a 12100 and a 3090ti and have it do 4k gaming, when it comes to 4k it heavily relies on the gpu and how much vram it has

[ivory mountain]

u must not know how hard it is to get one rn 😭

[mint umbra]

not everyone can afford to be a cs major and get a 6 fig job

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-girl-anxious-sweaty-worried-gif-17343477

[azure topaz]

bro sim flipped computers

💀

[tidal geyser]

no i make towers

[plain cypress]

My job is 7 significant figures

[azure topaz]

no bro you made them spin

[mint umbra]

I got best job I can get rn

and job market sucks rn

[tidal geyser]

tower

[buoyant bridge]

samesies

[tidal geyser]

i have more to add now and 2 more on the way

[azure topaz]

yo wanna play chicken with it

[tidal geyser]

nau

[azure topaz]

i want to break the tower sim.

[rigid fjord]

that's a cheating tower, it won't fall over at a blow

[mint umbra]

either way think its pretty rude telling them they poor basicly and saying getting a better job

[tidal geyser]

did not say you were poor

[mint umbra]

you implied it

[tidal geyser]

but its way too much much effort and some risk and you cant even use the computer in that time

[rigid fjord]

no, it's called telling lazy people to get a job, and when they bitch, pointing out all the ways they can earn money as no one will give them anything for free

[tidal geyser]

like im not even listing my desktop parts until i manage to fix up one of the laptops i wanna daily

[mint umbra]

I have a job mate

[buoyant bridge]

idk if they're in the US but the job market litterally sucks

[rigid fjord]

then less bitching, not your mate, and learn to suck it up

[rigid fjord]

they're canadian

[buoyant bridge]

I have people on staff that should be making wayyy more doing something else but they can't because its impossible to get a job in the field they went to school for

[mint umbra]

canadian job market just as bad

[buoyant bridge]

the canadian market is probably the same (not heavily involved my financial ventures there idk how bad the job market is)

[ivory mountain]

What do i do man

[tidal geyser]

xd

[ivory mountain]

"gen z doesnt wanna work" STFU 😭

[mint umbra]

and I wasnt complaining about my job

[tidal geyser]

i really need to send out some stuff for a place to be

[buoyant bridge]

gen z doesn't wanna work for free for 6 years

[ivory mountain]

maybe cause fuckin adults infest the entry level job market

[mint umbra]

All I said I was going to sell cpu and some how ppl spin that into get a better job broke mf

[buoyant bridge]

gen z isnt getting skilled jobs anyways unless they work for free

skilled jobs expect experience in their field which is basically impossible to get without a unpaid internship

[jaunty apex]

Fucking wild federal min wage hasn't gone up since the last financial crisis

[rigid fjord]

tbf, most jobs want a certain level of experience, if you don't have it, it won't show on the resume and very unlikely to get an interview in the process

[ivory mountain]

im 17, graduated highschool, open availability and good transportation and cant get a job at fucking mcdonalds

[glossy veldt]

i think these are good for another year or so

[tidal geyser]

need at least 5 years experience for mc donalds but cant be over 25

[rigid fjord]

not even a bk or coffee shop?

[ivory mountain]

u need experience for a job but u need a job for experience but u need experience for a job but u need

[buoyant bridge]

have you applied at other resturants? they're not legally supposed to be doing this but they do and just dont disclose it all the big chains that are franchised are sharing your application and interview with each other

[ivory mountain]

nope, bk ignored me

[buoyant bridge]

theres a good chance if a franchised resturant in your area refuses you mcdonalds will too

[ivory mountain]

ive applied to so many places that i cant find anymore job postings anywhere, i call and apply too and they say they arent hiring

[buoyant bridge]

I got offered a contract FROM one of these companies doing this exact shit fyi

[warm anvil]

Which one

[ivory mountain]

one of the interviews i went to said urgently hiring, i went there and they said they dont really need people and i just walked out half way through the interview

[mint umbra]

how do you get experince for a job if places wont hire for lack of experince

[buoyant bridge]

look for factory jobs lol

[ivory mountain]

i have im not 18

[warm anvil]

@stray portal

[buoyant bridge]

do you gotta be 18 in ur state to work at them?

[clear canyon]

/setbankbal Vyruss 0.00

[buoyant bridge]

one of my buddys owns a factory and has like 30 employes 16-17

[warm anvil]

Mcdonalds

[mint umbra]

one of my friends whos a cs major has been looking for a job for 3 years

[ivory mountain]

yes

[rigid fjord]

look into warehouse work then dude

[buoyant bridge]

mcdonalds wont hire you if you apply to other nearby resturants and they decline you first

[ivory mountain]

i have money saved but im not spending it

[warm anvil]

That's crazy

[ivory mountain]

they require 18+ and im 17 😭 at least they replied back to me tho and called me, i applied anyways and they said i couldnt do it yet

[buoyant bridge]

legally they aren't supposed to be sharing applications and interviews with each other but many do it illegally because they know you cant signifcantly prove it

[mint umbra]

alot places around where I live dont even have real ppl read resumes is alike all ai now

[buoyant bridge]

my city banned AI for job applications and interviews

[mint umbra]

would be nice lmao

[buoyant bridge]

any location inside city limits can't and the city has handed out a fine so large caseys had to close the location here over it

like they bankrupt a caseys franchise over it

729 $50K fines adds up

[jaunty apex]

Nice. Minimum wage is now higher than the wage I was looking for. 😩

[stray portal]

Second one

Sorry for late reply

[warm anvil]

Alr did

[warm anvil]

Np

[jaunty apex]

There's that at least I guess

[buoyant bridge]

technically they're also required to offer paper applications to anyone over age 25 but they violate this one constantly afaik but dont get fined for it

[rigid fjord]

then you're going to have to wait it out some til your 18th and try again with them, in the meanwhile you could attempt to do things like dog walking, window washing, car cleaning

[warm anvil]

Does it have it's own task manager type thing?

[ionic atlas]

asus be making a gamer move, https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/asus-changes-mind-will-continue-selling-the-rtx-5070-ti-after-all-130934271.html

[jaunty apex]

Can it be under as well because online applications are just gross

[rigid fjord]

wouldn't call this a gamer move

[buoyant bridge]

its just one ohio city doing that and they did it because workplaces where being discriminate to people with incorrectly filled online applications

so they started requiring paper applications to be an option for anyone over 25

[stray portal]

Yes i believe it does

[buoyant bridge]

the fine is only $250 per instance of failure to comply and most people dont even bother to report it so they rarely actually have paper applications either way

[jaunty apex]

They literally have personality tests for this shit now

[buoyant bridge]

the one for AI stuff is $50K per instance

[stray portal]

Its called System Monitor

[buoyant bridge]

if anyone is served any form of content during a job application or job interview defined as "artificial communication in replication to a person" its a $50K fine for each time it occurs for each person

so if it happens 3 times for one person thats $150K in fines

stuff liek this is somewhat common in small towns to try and maintain a local job market for people who cant travel

[mint umbra]

Im selling 7800x3d for mid range am5 cpu which one should I get that is good value

[buoyant bridge]

7600X

[mint umbra]

thanks

[cold skiff]

Why you selling it

[mint umbra]

cuz its overkill for my needs

[cold skiff]

Outside of gaming a 7800x3d performs like a 7600x anyway

[azure topaz]

youre boutta hear a whole lotta yap

[cold skiff]

So it seems like a down-side grade

[frigid blade]

Doggo

[azure topaz]

he should just keep it though, all he does is game lol

[frigid blade]

she got a sweater, it might be a bit small lol

[tidal geyser]

KAC stuff too

[azure topaz]

much rather my gpu pinned in every game than my gpu sitting at like 68% or something depending on the title

[cold skiff]

Also with current dram market lol. That cache gonna keep you performance up for years more than a 7600x

[hollow narwhal]

Hate to ask this, how do u go about rma a card

[buoyant bridge]

I think my PC is pretty good

[azure topaz]

lack of ram speed and gpu

[mint umbra]

I dont need 7800x3d for 4k

[hollow narwhal]

5080 is busted i think

[cold skiff]

Manufacturer website or retailer website

[frigid blade]

google "<manufacturer> RMA"

[mint umbra]

4k gaming cpu dont make a huge difference

its mostly gpu

[buoyant bridge]

ignores the xeon

[azure topaz]

until it does and youre mad

[azure topaz]

yeah youre flexing hardware you didnt mess with

[cold skiff]

Cache can actually make a difference more than the raw power/mhz though

[azure topaz]

id rather someones oced fx rig than that

style points

[buoyant bridge]

this is the 6th xeon desktop I've daily drove

any of the xeons from sandy and later can boost pretty high on around half their cores

this one will boost to 4.30 GHz on upto 28 cores

[cold skiff]

Basically at 4k your 7800x3d will perform as a 7600x or better. So it’s not overkill, it’s overhead. It’s still a benefit it have an x3d cpu

[mint umbra]

my point is that 7600x is good enough

[frigid blade]

xeon scalable?

[buoyant bridge]

W9

[frigid blade]

oh

[cold skiff]

It’s up to you. Dumb move imo but yeah up to you.

[frigid blade]

is that like the enterprise one?

[buoyant bridge]

I actually have a 384GB kit for this system but im tryna fix the 8th ram slot

[frigid blade]

like the amd ones

[mint umbra]

I will be up money that I can use on something else

[frigid blade]

threadrippers

[buoyant bridge]

no W9/W7 replaced Scalable

[warm anvil]

Alr

[cold skiff]

Dram?

[buoyant bridge]

its named closer to the desktop CPUs now

[south arrow]

[buoyant bridge]

W7 is WS. W9 is Server

[mint umbra]

planning on saving for when 5080 super comes out

[frigid blade]

ah

too broke to know that

[mint umbra]

money is better spent on a gpu

than cpu

[buoyant bridge]

I stole this CPU, Board, and the 384GB kit of ram from work

[frigid blade]

lmao, reminds me of my laptops

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-psychicpebbles-pim-smiling-friends-pim-mr-boss-gif-1373626090718171797

[winter lantern]

Bro thinks it'll ever come out

[mint umbra]

or 6080 whatever comes first

[cold skiff]

lol I was wrong

[frigid blade]

I put 4 laptops in my backpack one a week for 5 weeks and ended up with 20 laptops from my high school

[winter lantern]

Well was it stealing or were they just not in use

[cold skiff]

Cache actually makes a HUGE difference to 4k gaming

[buoyant bridge]

it was destined for the trash all together and it was out of inventory, also I own the company

[frigid blade]

this wasnt stealing*
they were being recycled and the networking teacher asked if i wanted to take some

[winter lantern]

Maybe 3xd isnt useless

[cold skiff]

I said it makes a little difference but apparently it’s much bigger than I thought

[clear canyon]

sweet

[cold skiff]

Be dumb af to downgrade to a 7600x from a 7800x3d

[warm anvil]

Holy shit

[winter lantern]

I just assumed any modern cpu is fine

[warm anvil]

It's using like no resources

[frigid blade]

but yah I ended up with 20 Dell Latitude E7440s (all i7s)

[mint umbra]

videos ive watched on benchmarks have like a 5-6 fps difference

[buoyant bridge]

the board has a bad ram slot so it wont take the whole 384GB kit (that's why a 32GB kit is in it rn)

[frigid blade]

I gave away the majority and sent some to a buddy in SoCal who used them to make smart mirrors

[winter lantern]

Dont trust video fr

[mint umbra]

???

[tidal geyser]

now apply upscaling i cant read

[winter lantern]

Yep

I got told to not trust them

So you shouldn't either

[mint umbra]

they are playing the game and showing fps lmao whats not to believe

lmao

[winter lantern]

You shouldn't trust shitmarks lol

[waxen kindle]

So i just hooked up my PG27AQDP and boy this thing is brighter then my 240hz ips

my eyes couldn’t handle it

[winter lantern]

Thats what I thought but theyre wrong apparently

This server said I was stupid for trusting them so you must be too

Unless its from a trusted channel then dont

[buoyant bridge]

jfc these are all full

[winter lantern]

Whats in them

[waxen kindle]

My sens feels weird maybe cuz its a 27inch vs a 25inch ?

[buoyant bridge]

granite, andesite, and diorite

[mint umbra]

damn the 3d cache really makes a huge diff

[proper swift]

ltts new video is really letting me take a step back and enjoy my setup (which admittedly, is pretty decent with a 5090 and a QD OLED) instead of malding over missing out on the CES 2026 releases and the cool corsair keyboard with a screen and the tandem oleds

altho i realllly wish my monitor didnt have purple shift

[winter lantern]

Random dudes channel isnt trustworthy

[cold skiff]

Shows a shit random YouTube benchmark video that’s not real world tested.

[buoyant bridge]

this is like 1/16th of the shulkers I've filled with stone

[mint umbra]

I dont trust hardwear unboxed

[proper swift]

3D vcache makes a pretty good difference in my experience

especially for poorly optimized games like fiveM and fps like valorant

[winter lantern]

Cyberpunk is also like an easy game to run

[mint umbra]

everyone is just a random dude

[winter lantern]

So its a bad benchmark

[proper swift]

thats with hands on experience with a 9700X and a 9800X3D

[frigid blade]

test it on cities skylines 2

nothing can run that game

[mint umbra]

every game on here is only couple fps difference

[cold skiff]

M downgrade and regret then buddy boy. Keep hang the random videos with barely any views and trust

[mint umbra]

bigguest diff was like 10 fps

[buoyant bridge]

my pc can actually quite well

[stray portal]

Its not that bad

[winter lantern]

I tried running it on a 1650 laptop

[frigid blade]

pretty sure ltt made a video about it with high end pc and it was pretty shit

[stray portal]

My 5700x and rx 7800xt and 32gb ram runs it pretty well 47-57 fps average

[winter lantern]

You can use common sense and lower settings tho

[mint umbra]

even on stalker 2 which is poorly optilized it was like a couple fps diff

[frigid blade]

thats not common sense, thats wanting more fps

[buoyant bridge]

I also have a 56 core xeon

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/silicon-valley-it-dep-datacenter-data-server-gif-23328736

minimum specs

[frigid blade]

not enough

[winter lantern]

More fps = running better

[frigid blade]

need the 256 core ARM cpu

[winter lantern]

I have a nvidia rubin is that enough

[tired bear]

arm? nah

[frigid blade]

actually those are kinda dooky

[buoyant bridge]

how about the 256 core quad x86 cpus

[frigid blade]

328 core intel

er

i think its multuple sockets not 1 processor

whats the most cores on the newest gen u can have?

including multi-socket

[buoyant bridge]

on a single CPU its like 96 I think?

[mint umbra]

most reviewers do cpu benchmarks in 1080p

[frigid blade]

thats less than i thought

[mint umbra]

cuz it matters most in 1080p

[frigid blade]

whats the base and boost on those?

[buoyant bridge]

SP5 does dual socket so upto 192 cores on SP5

[mint umbra]

4k it dont make a big difference

[frigid blade]

3 base 4 boost?

[tired bear]

192

[winter lantern]

I lowkey feel like it doesn't but I dont have a bad cpu to compare it with

[buoyant bridge]

like 800mhz base but for I think half the cores you can boost to around 3 GHz

[frigid blade]

hm

[buoyant bridge]

nvm epyc is wayyy better than I last checked

[mint umbra]

or ive you play alot of sim type of games

[frigid blade]

yah i was about to say 3 boost is crazy low lol

[queen trout]

What can i do to make my pc look better

[mint umbra]

like if ur playing rpgs and shit cpu aint gunna do anything

[buoyant bridge]

my CPU is 1.8 GHZ base and boosts to around 4.5 GHz on 28 cores

[tired bear]

remove those cables and shit from your desk

[queen trout]

The pc😡

[pure trellis]

Looks fine for me,why you need to stare at it, again?

[winter lantern]

A 12100f will be good enough for most games trust

[tired bear]

it will look better without all the shit around it

[frigid blade]

my base is 3.7 and boost is 5.7

[mint umbra]

might go for intel for next pc build

been a while since ive used intel

[queen trout]

Yes i wanna stare at it

[stray portal]

Yall played hytale?

[winter lantern]

I like how if someone uses Intel the only comments they get are why intel?

[mint umbra]

why not

[stray portal]

Rn it looks kinda mid but im sure updates will improve it

[buoyant bridge]

my base is 1.9 my half count boost is 4.80 my all core boost is 4.60

[pure trellis]

Paint it blue

[queen trout]

No but it looks like some free minecraft knock off on android

[cold skiff]

Because it games like shit compared to x3d

[mint umbra]

I dont think theres a huge difference

[queen trout]

???

[cold skiff]

You trolling right?

[mint umbra]

no

[cosmic stratus]

This is my first pc build, how's the cable management

[pure trellis]

It not hard on eyes

[cold skiff]

285k v 9800x3d is fucking huge difference

[winter lantern]

A bad opinion is trolling btw

[frigid blade]

i wish i had high performance server cpu 🥀

[winter lantern]

It doesn't matter what you think

[mint umbra]

guess so

[frigid blade]

im stuck with 24 cores, 16 of which are e cores

[stray portal]

Im waiting for core ulta gen 3 before doing anything

[cosmic stratus]

What about vs 14900k

[buoyant bridge]

try cooling 500W of CPU

[mint umbra]

I have ultra core laptop

[stray portal]

But atp im just greatful my pc works and i hope to keep it forever

[cold skiff]

Still huge

[mint umbra]

and its pretty good

[frigid blade]

cant be that bad my gpu pulls that much

[queen trout]

Just use the stock cooler

[cosmic stratus]

[cold skiff]

14900k v 9800x3d is like average 15% difference

[mint umbra]

my amd laptop I had would die way faster than my intel one

[stray portal]

Core ultra 3 gonna have igpus that run 200 fps 1080p

Intel maybe might come back

[cosmic stratus]

Oh, wayyy closer than I thought

[buoyant bridge]

(not my pic) this does not have a stock cooler

[frigid blade]

nah amd is winning with iGPU

[queen trout]

Make one

[cold skiff]

if they don’t American tax money not well spent

[frigid blade]

8060s is wild

[buoyant bridge]

this is like the bare minimum for this CPU, it makes so much heat itll overwhelm almost all AIOs too

[mint umbra]

most ppl arent buying the most expensive cpus

[stray portal]

We shall wait and see for core ultra 3

[tired bear]

this is better

[queen trout]

My ryzen 7 5800x is nice i think

[buoyant bridge]

isnt core ultra 3 supposed to be a huge improvement

[stray portal]

Competition is good

[cold skiff]

More people have a 9800x3d than all the arrow lake CPUs combined

[buoyant bridge]

don't these just stop working entirely once you overwhelm them though

[mint umbra]

let me just spend 600 dolllars real quick

[tired bear]

my single intel stock is up 30$

[cold skiff]

And you have a fucking 7800x3d…

[mint umbra]

lmao

[stray portal]

Intel is amazing for doing consumer stuff at the CONSUMER electronics show.... amd only did ai stuff

[mint umbra]

im not most ppl

[quick stag]

does this qualify as tech

[cold skiff]

How can ya say people don’t buy expensive CPUs and ya got a fucking $500 cpu yaself

[tidal geyser]

how fun

[mint umbra]

its exoensive as fuck

[cold skiff]

You’re not THAT special

[winter lantern]

470 on newegg

[cosmic stratus]

Laughs in Xeon rig (pcie lanes go brr)

[quick stag]

yes I am

[stray portal]

Overheating final boss

[mint umbra]

most ppl have a fucking 3060 mate

[frigid blade]

i can still do this with no performance loss

[buoyant bridge]

I have a $6000 CPU

[mint umbra]

most ppl dont buy top of the line products

[cosmic stratus]

80c at 220watts

[frigid blade]

i got my cpu, mobo, aio for $570 total :P that includes the 285k

[winter lantern]

A 9800x3d and 5800x3d are basically the same price 🥱

[mint umbra]

thats like saying oh nivida os great cuz of the 5090

[cold skiff]

Comparing CPUs to GPUs in pricing is dumb. 200-500dollars v 400-3000 dollars

[queen trout]

This is true the only people who buy top off the line are 50 year old dads who cant even play

[stray portal]

5800x3d was a great deal it still runs every gpu perfectly

[brave brook]

laughs in unused PCIe lanes

[queen trout]

Also ddr4 ram is cheaper

[winter lantern]

Most People who are in the tech space dont even buy those

[stray portal]

Erm actually athlon cpus are only 50 bucks

[cosmic stratus]

As an am4 user stupidist shit ever

[steel umbra]

cheaper is still expensive

[stray portal]

Am4 such a great deal

[cosmic stratus]

[winter lantern]

Not really

[tired bear]

stick in those bifurcation 4x m.2 adapter

[mint umbra]

its still expensive as hell

[winter lantern]

Lga1700 better deal

[brave brook]

got an adapter, don't have SSD for it

[mint umbra]

500 dollars for a cpu is expesive as fk

[stray portal]

Yesss this is perfect time for intel

[cold skiff]

PC gaming is generally expensive. If you are cheap af and want performance, you buy a console

[queen trout]

Yes but like a 5700x3d or a 5800x3d and ddr4 will be cheaper than am5 by a few 100

[tired bear]

sad

[mint umbra]

mate you can get a decent system without spending 500 dollars on a cpu

[winter lantern]

True no pc is better than a used console

[winter lantern]

Most people spend 180-260 on a cpu

[cold skiff]

You can. But when you’ve get that cpu, downgrading and not understanding ya gonna be hurting yaself is just dumb af

[queen trout]

A 5 5600 will handle any gpu in 1440p and above

[steel umbra]

we’re talking about a very old platform

[brave brook]

got this one

[queen trout]

But a very good one

[tired bear]

they are all the same

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t pay for am4 nor am5 rn

[winter lantern]

People make it sound like a 7600x is better than a 14900k cause Intel bad

[mint umbra]

mate is like a 5-10 fps difference

I get over 100 fps in most games

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-woody-everywhere-toys-toy-story-gif-14354228

[brave brook]

well PCIe gen difference. there is 5.0 version (which is black) and 3.0 version without fan

[mint umbra]

will hardly be a difference

[cold skiff]

10% is a big difference

[winter lantern]

No its not

[mint umbra]

not really

[cold skiff]

And in a few years time ya gonna realise how dumb it is when ya can’t run games like ya want

[mint umbra]

so you can tell the difference between 100 fps and 90 fps

[cosmic stratus]

Btw funny catch here is im using an 8 core 1680v3

[winter lantern]

Thats a gpu problem

[cosmic stratus]

Ill slap a 24 core in here later tho for server hosting

[brave brook]

me looking forward to PS6 hitting $800 minimum 😄

[steel umbra]

40 and 36 fps is noticable

[cold skiff]

1k minimum for sure

[winter lantern]

Both are bad

[pure trellis]

800, that will be a dream

[mint umbra]

I honestly dont care aslong as im above 60 for single player titles

[steel umbra]

also if you’re missing 10% of your brain yo’rue ded

[cold skiff]

And upscaling from the difference even more noticeable

[cosmic stratus]

You can if you look for it but if you're focusing on the game you wont notice it whicn I think matters more..

[daring scaffold]

AM4 still works great, one of the best platforms ever imo

[pure trellis]

Just inflation in 3-4 years won't allow Sony to make 800$ console

[winter lantern]

Looking at an fps chart ruins the enjoyment fr

[cold skiff]

He just doesn’t get it. But it’s fine. In 2-3 years time I can just tell him I told you so. Or when a game comes out that fucks his performance

[tired bear]

ps6? nah, it will be 200$ for a cloud streaming device, and then 300$ per year subscription

[mint umbra]

isnt steam machine rumored to be over 1k

[buoyant bridge]

^

[winter lantern]

They already have the ps portal tho

[brave brook]

plus Microsoft giving up on Xbox will make Sony increase price even more

[stray portal]

Ps6 never coming out brodie

[cosmic stratus]

Not only that if your 1% lows arnt good enough that 10fps difference will be even more meaningless

[mint umbra]

so I can see it being like 900

[steel umbra]

it’s funny how using 6x framegen halves your real frames

[tired bear]

ok and

[frigid blade]

i feel like we're heading in a lazy direction by instead of focusing on raw power, using all these methods to increase fps just gives the devs incentives to be lazy because if you enable X setting it will run much faster while sacrificing some kind of visual quality or something

[winter lantern]

Its basically that

[pure trellis]

Hoping for that handhold+home console hybrid that they were planned for ps5

[tired bear]

add in a hdmi port and call it a psportal2

[daring scaffold]

Like a switch or what?

[winter lantern]

Ps portal already came out

[mint umbra]

also when my pc starting running worse I can just use frame gen/ upscaling

[steel umbra]

i don’t think frame gen is impressive yet

[daring scaffold]

Frame gen is the future of gaming Ngl

[frigid blade]

the dynamic fg is good

[steel umbra]

you need good enough of real frames for frame gen to make the game a lot more playable

[daring scaffold]

It’s just advancing at such a fast rate

[warm anvil]

gotta say this is great it runs so good

[winter lantern]

Frame gen isnt even an issue

[cosmic stratus]

LSFG

[pure trellis]

Evolve version of ps portal

[winter lantern]

Like some games are optimized around fg

[daring scaffold]

Cool

[mint umbra]

who need a ps portal when ps5 has no games

[winter lantern]

So theres basically no difference when you use it

[stray portal]

Oo how well does it run

[cosmic stratus]

The issue is that game optimization is so shit our base frames arnt good enough for frame gen to work very well anyway

[pure trellis]

If Sony will go with concept and shelf it again

[winter lantern]

Hardware issue

[steel umbra]

like low frate rates like 20, 30 if you turn on frame gen 2-6x those frames real frames get reduced by 15-50% and the tech also struggles more the less frames you have

[mint umbra]

future of gaming is cloud gaming

like with gforce now

[winter lantern]

No its not lol

[warm anvil]

I haven't tried games yet but my idling performance is like 50-70 percent better

[mint umbra]

yes it is trust

you wont even need a gaming rig just cloud gaming

[stray portal]

If you do, install steam from the official website not from anywhere else thats the best optimised version

[steel umbra]

latency as well, not just pic quality

[winter lantern]

I mean cloud gaming runs prefectly

[warm anvil]

I got it from the store

[frigid blade]

it probably will be a good portion

[cosmic stratus]

"The future is telling consumers to use services and pay more instead of running it at home"

[stray portal]

Eh thats fine too its just a bit harder to navigate the files but u likely wont have to

[winter lantern]

Like theres zero difference between cloud streaming on ps5 and the downloaded game

[winter lantern]

Only if it was like that for pc

[tidal geyser]

now use a mouse and wifi

[warm anvil]

Lemke find the screen shot from w11

[stray portal]

I hate you so much

Cloud gaming is a big pile of trash

[cosmic stratus]

[mint umbra]

for now

[stray portal]

And forever

It will never be good

[steel umbra]

i want to own hardware not have some junky unreliable cloud service that wants to rug pull me every 2 years

[warm anvil]

Before and after

[mint umbra]

you dont have to like it but its coming

[stray portal]

It would be like netflix for games which is ass

[rigid fjord]

learn to make your own cpu and gpu then

[stray portal]

If cloud gaming becomes a thing i will literally stop it myself

[pure trellis]

So, Nvidia something cloud

[fringe prairie]

leenux

[winter lantern]

Theyre getting rid of gpus already to make ai gpus so gaming will be dead and the only way to play new stuff is through cloud gaming

[steel umbra]

i wish my brain had the capacity

[pure trellis]

How it even called nowadays?

[stray portal]

Except netflix is good somewhat

[frigid blade]

i made a self hosted cloud gaming app for this lol https://github.com/DanielChrobak/SlipStream

[fringe prairie]

i installed cachy. cs2 feels a lot smoother on it vs windows

[mint umbra]

netflix good ??? lmao

[stray portal]

Geforce now forces you to limited times and settings and its so dookie

[cosmic stratus]

They arnt gonna have the consumers for that so they'll just go back to gaming gpus lmao

[winter lantern]

Netflix is dumb because everything you can stream

[pure trellis]

Somewhat doing so much heavy lifting

[stray portal]

It doesnt even compare, netflix can afford to be decent as its just media

[tired bear]

you should take a look at moonlight

[rigid fjord]

that moment when you can do this from steam

[mint umbra]

netflix everything is compressed and looks like shit

[frigid blade]

moonlight isnt in browser

[stray plinth]

found this in a tiktok comment section

[winter lantern]

No?

[cosmic stratus]

Or parsec

[stray portal]

Steam streaming still runs on YOUR hardware

And YOUR games

[frigid blade]

I made Sunshine + Moonlight but in the browser, its really cool

[rigid fjord]

time for you to re-evaluate your life

[stray plinth]

real

[mint umbra]

wdym no? yes they do

[winter lantern]

Thats why nvidia cloud streaming is ass cause you need to own the games

[cosmic stratus]

Thats the shittest brush job i have ever seen

[rigid fjord]

also to fuck off back to ztt

[pure trellis]

Memes from earlier 2000's are back

[mint umbra]

they compress their files to save on bandwith and shit

[winter lantern]

Caring that much about a 5% quality difference must be a miserable life

[stray portal]

Oh yeah i forgot thats even shittier

[plain cypress]

This normal?

[south arrow]

Definitely needs wire brushed

[stray portal]

Imagine netflix but you had to buy every movie and then they can just take it away and you cant do anything about it

[tired bear]

no

[south arrow]

And dont get it in your eyes lol

[cosmic stratus]

Thats why you're here no? Otherwise you would be an console guy and just chill with 60 -120fps, if you get what I mean

[stray portal]

The days of physical media are almost over and its so sad we will never experience them again

[steel umbra]

leaky?

[mint umbra]

why do I need physcial media

[cosmic stratus]

I GUESS bro

[plain cypress]

Leaky battery? 💀

[stray plinth]

🥀

[rigid fjord]

while true, the laptop/handheld you play on via it, can be way worse than your main system and it'll still play fine

[winter lantern]

Consoles run games great but the games cost money so they're not good

[mint umbra]

when I can get everything online

[cosmic stratus]

[stray plinth]

mmm tasty

[frigid blade]

you know whats cool is someone built a web version after I started this app into Sunshine

[plain cypress]

Changing my oil on my own for the first time. Probably will be fine

[stray portal]

Consoles arent pcs, consoles are game players

[plain cypress]

Hopefully my dumbass didn't tighten the filter with a tool last year

[mint umbra]

I tried moonlight with my steam deck didnt work at well as I wanted it too

[stray portal]

If you do anything other than gaming a pc makes so much more sense

[steel umbra]

personal gaming computer 😂

[plain cypress]

Ugh there's kids playing outside and they're loud
Can't they play Xbox instead

[rigid fjord]

or the oilpan screw

[frigid blade]

its pretty crazy that you can do 1440p 144fps 20-30ms latency streaming in browser

[rose stream]

Because then anything you get you will never own and they can just take whatever they give you on a wim, whether you like it or not and no matter what you do, you could never get it back otherwise.

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/oil-gif-23831254

[stray portal]

And also for example a pc has free online play.. if you play on console you waste all of that money

[winter lantern]

They are and youre making ts up

[cosmic stratus]

Console players dont care about that is what im saying lol, they wouldnt even be in this server really

[plain cypress]

Now they got some scooters and bikes n shit

[winter lantern]

Most people who get a pc come from console

[plain cypress]

Surely this is staged?!

[mint umbra]

think they remove is offten saved on pirate websites and suck so its not gone for good

[steel umbra]

i doubt

[mint umbra]

not telling ppl to pirate but saying there is an option if you really want it

[plain cypress]

I have tools for removing a bolt at least

[winter lantern]

Media is a one time use so it doesn't really matter that much

[plain cypress]

My prior oil filter put on by Valvoline was a PITA to remove

[steel umbra]

claim 2 year old AAA games for free on epic and no need to pirate

[rigid fjord]

when the ugha dugha comes out

[rose stream]

Uuuuhh the way you worded that context basically also makes pc and mobile look bad too in that sense. Games and apps can also cost money in one way or another, so now that makes both bad.

[plain cypress]

I think they use some pneumatic tool for installation

[cosmic stratus]

Pirating games kinda sucks too many anoyying limitations, to me its the temporary solution until I actually buy the game and feel just a little bit better about playing it too lmao

[plain cypress]

I did buy a breaker bar last year so I'm ready for anything

[steel umbra]

there are so many good free indie games out there or ones that cost little

[plain cypress]

But I'm too cheap for a real jack

[rigid fjord]

perfect for filter removals

[winter lantern]

Im talking about

But i cant do into detail 😔

[plain cypress]

Fuck this but it was cheap

[stray portal]

Imagine your house but its not actually your house because even tho you paid for it you dont own it and they can kick you out at any time for no reason

[tired bear]

be careful lol
i usually do it in a "service pit" in my garage so i have lot more vertical space

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[stray portal]

And they can come inside your house and destroy everything and you just have to sit and watch

[winter lantern]

That wont happen so bad analogy

[winter lantern]

You have to do that anyways

[rigid fjord]

this is basically what 90% of cars come with in the uk

[stray portal]

Same things really

Just turned up to the extreme so he sees why its bad

[mint umbra]

I mean technically you dont own ur house till you pay it off

[winter lantern]

You cant fight back if someone breaks property so its like that

[mint umbra]

its actually the banks house

[winter lantern]

The stuff in it you do

[steel umbra]

make sure it can hold the weight so the car doesn’t fall on your head or something

some sketchy manufacturers overspec their lifts

[stray portal]

Most governments are ran by dumb old people who dont know anything they wont help you

See the recent online safety acts they were made by old people who dont know anything about the internet

[steel umbra]

and they end up buckling if overloaded or in the worse case collapse

[winter lantern]

Any problem is your fault so its fair

[empty quartz]

:3

[mint umbra]

if I try to stop a robber from robbing me I would get in trouble for hurting the robber

[empty quartz]

I think i need a better shelf

[winter lantern]

Yes

[rigid fjord]

technically even then it's not yours till you own the land it's on

[tired bear]

only if robber gets found...

[cosmic stratus]

Why is this a god damm collectors item

[stray portal]

what makes you think the same government who knew and actively defended epstein island will care about your little games they just want money money

[empty quartz]

Thats called a scalper

[winter lantern]

But games are free

[tired bear]

this is UK bullshit i am not familiar with

[steel umbra]

the greenland situation is crazy

[mint umbra]

crazy you cant even defend ur self in ur own house lmao

[stray portal]

They can always take down servers but they cant break what you physically own

[rose stream]

Depends on where you live.

[winter lantern]

Ts why America best

[distant steeple]

idk about the 5600x3d but iirc the 5500x3d was only sold in certain reigons so maybe the 5600x3d has a similar situation and is rarer?

[mint umbra]

pls no politics

[mint umbra]

hear about politics everywhere it gets tiring lmao

[rose stream]

Here, the robber's good as dead because we have the right to defend our own house if they break and enter or at least try to.

[steel umbra]

it’s not longer just politics but like a disaster

[craggy cove]

5500x3d is south america exclusive, 5600x3d microcenter i think?

[stray portal]

Some blud broke into a house and got attacked by the owners dog, so he sued the owner and got the dog put down

[winter lantern]

If theyre not hurting you

[cosmic stratus]

Especially in a chat that's supposedly about technology if we wanna go there lol

[mint umbra]

true

[rigid fjord]

not a uk only thing, as you might own the home, and the land it's on up to a certain depth, and for mineral rights, the depth below the land you own can be sold off to a company

[stray portal]

[cosmic stratus]

I live in the greatest sitcom country oat

[plain cypress]

American dream more like nightmare

[plain cypress]

[winter lantern]

Theres somewhere like Iceland and theres somewhere like ukraine

[pure trellis]

If it will be Luxembourg, it will be hilarious

[mint umbra]

Idk canada isnt a whole lot better than usa these days

[clear canyon]

also different oil brands :(

[pure trellis]

Oh, Romania

[mint umbra]

living here feels like ass these days

[plain cypress]

Because I bought a 6 pack of small ones last year and had 2 left and it seemed less wasteful to buy another 2 than the big jugs
Next oil change in buying 2 5qts at Costco for $18/each and I'm just throwing away a quart for each oil change

[mint umbra]

cost of living has gotten way to high in canada

[plain cypress]

I only need 4 quarts

[rose stream]

For US, it still largely depends on which state you're in and where in it you live.

[mint umbra]

atleast in america they get paid more

[plain cypress]

Oh it'll all be homogeneous in the engine

[clear canyon]

was they all at least the same type of oil

[stray portal]

So amazing

[winter lantern]

State dependant

[rose stream]

Where I live, not much significant happens.

[plain cypress]

Yes 5W20 full synthetic

[rigid fjord]

depending on where you are in europe, you might be no better off

[cosmic stratus]

(Lives in the us)
I guessss bro 😭

[plain cypress]

I'm not that stupid

[clear canyon]

ok nice

[mint umbra]

ppl move out from canada to usa to get better pay

[clear canyon]

well you said it was your first time so Im just asking lmao

[mint umbra]

cuz the wages in canada suck

[pure trellis]

So,Orban you say

[cosmic stratus]

Dead ass

[clear canyon]

also you can buy car ramps instead of using jacks, thats what I use

[stray portal]

Hey atleast we dont have an orange fella making a joke out of our country

[mint umbra]

yep

[plain cypress]

I had guidance last time
First time just yoloing this shit

[clear canyon]

sweet

[plain cypress]

But also im smart enough to look at the engine and see the label for oil type lmao

[cosmic stratus]

Damm if here is better than Canada then it must be hell over there

[winter lantern]

It doesn't really effect the country just makes it look bas

[azure topaz]

the way anteaters try to defend themselves in the wild is so funny

[clear canyon]

This is simular to what I use for my car, I have a jack for my bike

[azure topaz]

they hit like a defensive position

[rigid fjord]

no, but we got a country making him a laughing joke as it is here when it comes to the uk

[azure topaz]

arms out and shit

[frosty ruin]

@tidal geyser Got a offer for 340€ which I accepted. Much better deal than before

[mint umbra]

house were I live is like around 700k on average

so I prob will never own a house

[winter lantern]

Houses are scams

[winter lantern]

The only way to get a house is generational wealth

[stray portal]

A two party state is a failed state imo

[cosmic stratus]

Idk how paying a house works yet but is it possible for the the price to go down even while you're paying for it lmao

[pure trellis]

Especially if you own them

[stray portal]

Both sides are bad

[pure trellis]

Dude, just get a drink and come down

[mint umbra]

canada bringing in chinese evs now

[clear canyon]

as a little tip, if you take out the dipstick as the oil is draining out, it will drain faster

[mint umbra]

not sure I like that idea tbh

[winter lantern]

Some people who are in tech servers sound like they make 300k a year by playing their cards right or something

[clear canyon]

incase you didnt know :D

[cosmic stratus]

That means it'll be easier to ship into the us lmao

[pure trellis]

Is the text of the deal public?

[steel umbra]

wait until EU approves a surveillance law

[clear canyon]

This is simular to the bike jack I use

[cosmic stratus]

Shit, hust buy one in Canada and drive it to the US😭

[rose stream]

Wait, so like... You guys are the country with all the problems with population decline, poor housing conditions, and dropping wages?

[stray portal]

Dumb law honestly but it wont pass iirc

[cosmic stratus]

Easy import tax evasion

[clear canyon]

I have 0 issue living in america

[pure trellis]

On state bases, EU parliament isn't very approve of it

[stray portal]

Rising wages, housing conditions are good

[rose stream]

Same.

[steel umbra]

it contradicts other laws ik

[mint umbra]

they only bringing in like 50k of them a year

[fringe prairie]

same

[stray portal]

America has worse housing conditions theyre all expensive and full of homeless guys

[steel umbra]

it’s getting there, next time it may pass

[rose stream]

Not even close. Lmao.

[mint umbra]

after 50k units sold in canada they increase tarriff to 100%

[cosmic stratus]

I guess bro but its not my problem really

[plain cypress]

Thought about it
Probably can find cheap on marketplace if I spend effort looking for it, but I don't work on my car often enough to justify

[clear canyon]

I see so many ppl complain about america, when its not that bad, the housing market isnt the best and so is the economy, but its not impossible to live in

[mint umbra]

canada housing market is worse

[stray portal]

Europe saving americans too with our regulations us companies are forced to adapt

[mint umbra]

no one can afford to buy a house unless they rich

[pure trellis]

We will see, can be stretched to next elections

[cosmic stratus]

The US sucks but its still very much functional if you wanna put it that way

[clear canyon]

yeah, I do all my oil changes and simple maintenance for my car and I do everything on my bike

[stray portal]

Also most countries are having population decline, those that dont its usually foreigners coming in

[rose stream]

I mean, here it's just overinflated depending on where it is, but in some ways it's doable.

[pure trellis]

That's true for 99% of counties at this point

[rigid fjord]

american companies be scared of unions

[mint umbra]

cuz ppl cant afford to have kids

[clear canyon]

I disagree that it sucks, there is many other places that is far worse

[tidal geyser]

yup

[clear canyon]

I feel blessed to live in the US

[stray portal]

Yeah and governments instead of fixing it bring people from outside thinking its gonna fix something

[cosmic stratus]

Can we say it sucks but still better than everywhere else?

[rose stream]

There are some states with issues, but it's not all states and even then, it's just certain parts of them with issues to begin with.

[stray portal]

Those people usually make tons of kids which they cant afford to raise

[brave brook]

American company in Europe: "What do you mean there is a 4 week paid leave by law?" 😄

[steel umbra]

it is actually solution to quite few things

[clear canyon]

well nothing is perfect yeah, but id rather live in the US than anywhere else

[cosmic stratus]

[steel umbra]

lack of cheap workforce has been a major factor in hindering countries

[stray portal]

In my country foreigners are good they come, adapt and learn our language and integrate

[rigid fjord]

american company in europe " what do you mean, there's paid sick leave, and pension schemes we have to pay for?"

[cosmic stratus]

My issue with uk is tiny road

[clear canyon]

thats like saying "This food is gross but tastes good", makes no sense

[stray portal]

Western countries are so crazy nowadays people come to their country, and then riot against said country

[tired bear]

mineral rights yes but UK has wierd land lease thing, here you have to own the land to build shit on top of it

[plain cypress]

For the last year I've been all diy for my car, except tires
My car isn't worth the price of labor anymore

[pure trellis]

What do you mean - I can't call my worker off hours

[winter lantern]

Arent the states with issues just the big 3 mostly

[plain cypress]

I mean the tires are like 50% of my cars value

[pure trellis]

That still amuse me

[rose stream]

I can't really see myself living anywhere else, nor can my mom who immigrated here.
She's actually stated to me that she doesn't even have anything back in her home country to return to either. She wants to be here and there's no where else (besides the Phillipines) she'd rather live.

[clear canyon]

fair, also you gain skills and save money by doing it :D

[cosmic stratus]

Its not as good as it should be but still better than everywhere else.

[mint umbra]

chinese evs will ruin canada car industry

[plain cypress]

Did both control arms, jacks, oil, spark plugs, and front brakes lack February

[clear canyon]

yeah, I was born in the US so I have not had to deal with moving like that, glad yall like it here

[mint umbra]

lots of ppl losing jobs cuz of this

[pure trellis]

What car industry?

[brave brook]

they can call me - on dedicated days, when they pay 6 euros (before taxation) for every hour on call

[cosmic stratus]

And getting new ones?

[mint umbra]

wdym there is a ton of factorys in ontario

[clear canyon]

sweet dude, I like hearing ppl being able to fix their stuff :D

[rose stream]

Cali, NY, Texas?

[brave brook]

Canada has a car industry ?

[plain cypress]

Canadian car industry is just an extension of the US automotive industry, no?

[winter lantern]

Mhm

[pure trellis]

Lol, I want those rates to pay

Oh, those

[mint umbra]

they make american and japanese cars mostly

[steel umbra]

cheap workforce = competitiveness = bigger number better

[brave brook]

so canadian car manufacturing, not industry

[steel umbra]

that’s why western countries let people in

[mint umbra]

ppl will lose their jobs from these imports

[plain cypress]

I've debated over putting in an android auto head unit
Currently, to get a head unit and wiring harness that retains most of my OEM features, it's close to a thousand bucks and not really worth it even with me doing the labor

[clear canyon]

wait how does cheaping out make it more competitive?

[mint umbra]

cuz they are under cutting industry

[plain cypress]

Plus I'd lose my CD drive!

[steel umbra]

u angery me

[pure trellis]

How Canada on ev's anyway?

[mint umbra]

we have plenty of tesla plants

[slim reef]

i wanna buy a pc for my bro, recommend me like the best am4 cpu in performance. dont think about bottleneck or budget please

[queen trout]

I cleaned my desk

[mint umbra]

and have a few battery plants

[clear canyon]

yeah, I just wish they was not so damn expensive

[pure trellis]

Oh, right, Chinese EVs can't use Tesla chargers

[steel umbra]

but fr if you don’t know, cheap workforce has contributed to creation of countries as we know them, for example bri’ish

[brave brook]

to bne fair - if car made in China, transported in ships and beat in price the CAN made cars, while complying with CAN laws... well, tough luck

[rigid fjord]

tesla got angry at sweden due to a union there
