[topaz shale]

bruh i hate canvas so much

[wheat torrent]

canvas ?

[topaz shale]

at least my institutions implementation of it

why do i have 3 fucking days before i sign back in on my devices

[wheat torrent]

what is canvas

[topaz shale]

school site popular in the US

where all course stuff is

so basically where i do my homework

[azure topaz]

@thorny saddle

[sleek ibex]

My Community college does Canvas stuff too

[azure topaz]

it’s relevant i swear

[topaz shale]

just about every academic institution in the US uses it

[azure topaz]

he was talking about how he was wondering if those existed

[topaz shale]

since covid, not a single school ive seen doesnt use canvas

[wheat torrent]

wtf is canvas

its not even showing in google results

[topaz shale]

search LMS instructure canvas

[wheat torrent]

ahhh

grading app

[topaz shale]

it does everything

[limpid ivy]

A daily fight with it

[wheat torrent]

im glad I dropped out

[sleek ibex]

I graduated high school well before canvas was a thing

Wasn't till I returned studies I started using it

[wheat torrent]

my university has a thing like this also where you can see your grade

[limpid ivy]

I got mines customized so it doesn't flashbang me

[wheat torrent]

funny thing to log in through it you needed to use your national ID (social security number for US fellas)

[azure topaz]

the cats man 😭

[wheat torrent]

they had no captcha or whatever

[limpid ivy]

But cat images do actually dictate how I feel about each class

[wheat torrent]

long story short I have the data of the whole university

[topaz shale]

i use dark mode on canvas from time to time

the white doesnt bother me half the time tho

its like two buttons to switch to dark

[wheat torrent]

this UI is terrible

[wheat torrent]

Problems :(end

[limpid ivy]

BetterCanvas UI and themes can be kinda ass, I am just tolerating it lol

[sleek ibex]

Physics?

[topaz shale]

electrical engineering course

[wheat torrent]

electyricity

[topaz shale]

its intro to circuits so basically physics

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/electroboom-full-bridge-rectifier-full-bridge-gif-24661594

[sleek ibex]

Nice I'm also in ECE (electrical/computer engineering)

[topaz shale]

im actually doing Mechanical Engineering but this is a required course

[wheat torrent]

I wanted to do mechanical engineering also

[sleek ibex]

Some unis lump both Electric and Computer engineering together due to how much overlap they have

[wheat torrent]

if I went that route I probably wouldn't of dropped out

[sleek ibex]

Mine being one of them

Very math and physical science intensive

[ebon marlin]

I plugged it into a Type-C Displayport port and it works lmao

[azure topaz]

does it do high refresh

[ebon marlin]

Displayport to HDMI yummy

[wheat torrent]

displayport port

[ebon marlin]

This should be 1440p 144hz

Lemme check windows rq

[wheat torrent]

actually I forgot to ask

why does GPUs come with 3 display ports and 1 hdmi

do you have to pay for the amount of HDMI ports you use or what

[ebon marlin]

HDMI costs more due to licensing fees

[wild pendant]

💀

[wheat torrent]

right right

[ebon marlin]

Iirc DP is free

[azure topaz]

some have multiple hdmi, it’s just hecause hdmi is more expensive

[wheat torrent]

so it's per port?

so scummy

[ebon marlin]

It's like 1$ per HDMI port

For the licensing fee

Displayport doesn't need one iirc

[wheat torrent]

yep

though I will say fuck those display ports with the lock

(because it is so hard to unplug them in my monitor)

[ebon marlin]

Just buy the ones without the lock

[wheat torrent]

I can't get a good hold to press the button because it's tight space

[ebon marlin]

Yup

[wheat torrent]

they should make the button on the back of the cable head somehow

that wouldnt make sense but yeah

[ebon marlin]

Or just buy one without the lock

Holy my cat is chopped bro doesn't have a jawline

[jaunty apex]

💀 what, just replace it. Its got 32gb memory

[ebon marlin]

The fuck are you supposed to do with half a keyboard

Usually keyboards that are halved come with the other half so you can still use your device normally but this just has the left half of the keyboard

[wheat torrent]

WASD lots of kids buy those

upgrading my gpu from a 4060ti - is a i7 11700k going to have a massive bottleneck with a 9070 XT, or should I downgrade my gpu & focus on a cpu also

[wheat torrent]

whaaaaaaat.....

[lapis talon]

Should I go for a Lian Li O11 Vision Compact or the Thermalright A70 Vision?

[wheat torrent]

9070xt is going to get you more FPS than a worse GPU with a better CPU

bottleneck is a topic which contain a lot of misinformation because it heavily depends

[hearty perch]

Lian li looks better

[sleek ibex]

Which one do you like better?

[hearty perch]

It won’t be as big of a bottleneck as you would expect. Go to www.bottleneckcalculator.com and you can calculate the amount of bottleneck in percentage you will get in different resolutions. Everything depends on your settings tho. I recommend going 1440p with that combo, if you can, get a 4k display and use dsr in nvidia control panel to downscale to 1440p

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-fortnite-mymomiskindahomeless-cringe-gif-7944978134360840147

You and ur gay bottleneck calculator

[hearty perch]

[lilac mist]

4060 finally installed. System is a 12400F with 16gb of DDR5 5200mhz.

Case is a Jonsbo Z20 since I get asked a ton about the case

[hearty perch]

Thats neat! Have fun gaming

[lilac mist]

It's my HTPC so more have fun with watching stuff

Though it'll see some Forza and LAN party use

[hearty perch]

Oh I see. You could also use it for some ai

[ebon marlin]

Was gonna say it's a bit beefy for a media machine

[lilac mist]

no AI

[ebon marlin]

Gpu eitherway has only 8gb of vram which is pretty low for an AI model

[lilac mist]

If I want AI I got a 4070 and a 9070 on hand

Though I see no use for AI in my life

Funnily enough my brother literally just asked if he could have it to run AI

I said he can borrow a GPU/machine but can't have it

[empty atlas]

that bottleneck calculator is superb - cheers for that. pretty much what i thought, 1080p is an estimated 16% but I’ll be using a monitor with a 3440x1440 display, so not bad at all

[ebon marlin]

Don't listen to Zouppa bottleneck calculators pull those numbers out of their ass lmao

[sinful cobalt]

bad advice

[ebon marlin]

11700k is fine with a 9070xt especially at higher resolutions

AMD gpus have lower cpu driver overhead compared to Nvidia for example

So you can use older/weaker cpus better with higher end gpus

[sinful cobalt]

imo that hardly matters its more dependent on what games you play

[ebon marlin]

And at 3440x1440 cpu is mostly irrelevant eitherway

[hearty perch]

What the fuck are ya’ll saying my advice is shit

[ebon marlin]

It quite literally is

[hearty perch]

It’s not, tell me what is shit about my advice

[sinful cobalt]

that website sucks

[ebon marlin]

Already has been explained above

Reading fears lil vro

[sinful cobalt]

still matters in cases

[ocean axle]

Any bottleneck "calculator" is garbage

[ebon marlin]

It does but for the most part gpu is more important

Ofc cpu matters but in that kinda resolution not as much as the gpu

[sinful cobalt]

yeah, but not like I’d pair an absolute shitty CPU with the GPU anyway

[ocean axle]

Depends on the game

[ebon marlin]

Exactly why I said for the most part

🧐

[ebon marlin]

The improvement is just the 1%'s for the most part

Which is also incredibly important

[wheat torrent]

it would be hilarious if that dude would not get a 9070 xt because he thinks his cpu is a bottleneck

though to be honest I think he was a bot or something

[sleek ibex]

I've seen people use 7700Ks with 3090s

Would you rather

Use a Intel Core i3-1315U Intel nuc , but the HDDs will be limited to USBs and thunderbolt ports
(Compact server form)

Or a i7-7700 desktop CPU , hard drives can have access to SATA/ PCIE slots
(Desktop server form)

For the following homelab purpose?

Proxmox with the following OSes:

A os for Openmediavault for jellyfin+ raid 1

A direct OS for crafty controller (modded Minecraft servers, might use Pyrodactyl as a replacement )

A sperate os for docker stuff

not true

[fickle juniper]

yo so my rx 6600 arrived earlier, would it be safe to try putting it into my pc with my current PSU or nah?

[sinful cobalt]

whats the psu model

[fickle juniper]

the current psu is LC600H-12 V2.31, its an office series but its handling my rx 480 with no problems

the new one which is supposed to arrive today or tmrw is this one

[rigid fjord]

wait til your newer psu comes

[fickle juniper]

aight, i have a question tho

after it arrives, do i uninstall my rx 480 drivers immediately and turn the pc off afterwards n start swapping the parts or what

[calm plaza]

next gen x3d and intel chips will have 200-500mb cache, do you think we're in a processor cache revolution of some sort. will somewhere in the 2020s be remembered that way
36-92mb and even 19-24 for some people is still normal in modern gaming. the expansion is fast

[hexed sage]

hey guys im about to do my SATs in 2 hours does anyone have any tips?

[rigid fjord]

run ddu in safe mode so that it cleanly removes the drivers, then turn it off when done, afterwards remive and install both the psu and gpu, turn on, install drivers

[hexed sage]

I know rauko got 2000 on their SATs

[fickle juniper]

i have ddu on my pc, ok

[fickle juniper]

its so beautiful

[latent pasture]

it uses less power so should work

[sinful cobalt]

Whats the wattage?

You could put it in no problem if its 600w.

And DDU the RX480 first yes

[fickle juniper]

i sent the stats next to the gpu

i'll js wait for the new psu

dont want anything going wrong

[calm plaza]

they made that 6600 so cool looking. yeah gigabyte's like that, mfs will slap three fans and a cool finish on everything 🤣

[fickle juniper]

the xfx 3 fan model looks way cooler but couldnt get it unfortunately

huge fan of the xfx design

sapphire is my favorite tho

that sapphire nitro rx 5700xt is an absolute beauty

[calm plaza]

my slightly more impressive 6800 looks cool also, gigabyte gigabyten

[latent pasture]

3 bad fans tho

[fickle juniper]

i like the curvature

i mean shape

[mortal plume]

Ram prices so high some dude built a clean room as good as tsmc's in his god damn shed to make his own chips 😭

[fickle juniper]

the ram i bought 2 yrs ago costed me around 40-50 eur i cant remember, now its 150 eur

[mortal plume]

I overpaid for dominator platinum for the drip in the summer of 24

I paid 150 now it's 300

I still feel stupid for it but at least it still looks good

[fickle juniper]

doubled damn

i have a

[mortal plume]

Yea so now it's 4x what a set of ddr4 3200mhz 32 gigs should be

[fickle juniper]

kingston fury set

[fickle juniper]

🤷🏿‍♂️

[mortal plume]

I had kingston fury before but the dominator looked better so i switched

Plus i wanted 32 gigs

[fickle juniper]

i fw kingston fury

[wheat torrent]

Looked better

[mortal plume]

Same

[fickle juniper]

my old ddr3 system had 16gb hyperx fury ram

i still have em

[mortal plume]

Look man if I'm gonna get dicked on the prices of everything i might as well get the stuff i like the look of

Either way everything here is 20-30% more than in the US

[fickle juniper]

wheres "here"

[mortal plume]

Poland

[fickle juniper]

im from serbia

[mortal plume]

Yea but i can drive 2 hours into berlin and get things for way cheaper which makes this extra awful

[wheat torrent]

Nuh uh

[fickle juniper]

what about gas n shit

other expenses

[mortal plume]

Those are cheaper here but the pc parts are less in berlin bc germany gets first party shipping

We don't rlly get that

[fickle juniper]

i have a ryzen 5 3600

[mortal plume]

Upgrading to a used 4080 super as soon as i get my hands on 1000 bucks

[fickle juniper]

1000 bucks for an used card what

[mortal plume]

Yeah poland sucks bad

Card has an msrp of 1000 usd but it's always been 1500 here

So I'm still saving 500 bucks

And same issue with the 5080 so why even bother

[fickle juniper]

i cant find any used 40 series on a serbian site i use lmao

its only prebuilt

[mortal plume]

Fair

Yeah over here it's weird like that

[fickle juniper]

4080

[mortal plume]

A store in a town i used to live in had a 3090 somehow mid scalpocalypse

Back when that thing sold for 6000 usd here

[fickle juniper]

what

[mortal plume]

Yea 2021 was an absolute fucking nightmare

[fickle juniper]

during that time i had a pc with i3 7100, hd 660 (or hd 600 i cant remember) and 4gb ram bro 💀 😭

[mortal plume]

Even with the ram shortage prices for pcs are still not nearly as bad as they were

[mortal plume]

I had a ryzen 3 4300g 💀

It's a cpu so bad it bottlenecked itself

[fickle juniper]

thats better aint it

[mortal plume]

Only 4mb of l3 cache

[fickle juniper]

i dont remember the i3 7100 stats

but later on my cousin helped me out and gave me his old fx 6300, rx 480 16 gb ram system

[mortal plume]

When i got a 1650 because the pc was proprietary and it was my only good option it bogged it down to the performance of a 1050 2gb

[fickle juniper]

which i slowly upgraded over the years to where i am rn

[mortal plume]

My cousin with a 7th gen i5 and gtx 1050 was running circles around me in terms of fps

The 4300g might be the single worst cpu on the am4 platform when it comes to gaming I'm not even exaggerating

[mortal plume]

Valid

[fickle juniper]

man in 2024 i asked my dad for a new case (the one i have rn) for like 70 euros or smth i forgot, was on discount. He said it was too much and then came back home 2 weeks later with an airfryer that costed around the same price as the case 😭

[mortal plume]

I started with a laptop with a 5th gen i5, moved to the 4300g desktop, got a 1650 and 16gb of ram then built a pc with a 3600 and rx 7600, then upgraded to a 5600, then got a 4070 and 5700x3d with 32 gigs

[fickle juniper]

we used the airfryer 5 times in total if not less

[mortal plume]

Lmao

[fickle juniper]

i started with an ass laptop which i still have, i think it has a celeron or smth

The only reason i have a 4070 is because we got like 3 grand from insurance when my mom got hit by a van

[fickle juniper]

brooo whatttt

W gpu money i guess

[mortal plume]

Otherwise i would not have one

[fickle juniper]

💀 🙏🏿

[mortal plume]

Also the rx 7600 is such a shitass gpu the guy i sold it to had to rma it twice within the first 6 months

Genuinely avoid 7000 series radeon they're all junk

Unstable, hot and loud

Especially xfx

[fickle juniper]

i dont think i'll be upgrading my gpu for the next 4 or so years tbh

[mortal plume]

9000 series doesn't have as many of these issues from what my friends who own them have told me

[fickle juniper]

ive had my rx 480 for 3 years now

[mortal plume]

Valid

[fickle juniper]

i dont play anything demanding nor am i crazy for AAA games that require 2000 euro pcs

[mortal plume]

Fair, my main motivation to upgrade is helldivers 2

Even on my system i struggle to maintain 60 fps in 1440p

[fickle juniper]

my motivation to get a new gpu is that my rx 480 was crashing sometimes and cause i couldnt play metal gear solid delta

[mortal plume]

I love helldivers but it runs like absolute ass

[mortal plume]

Yeah that'd do it tbh

[fickle juniper]

never played

[mortal plume]

Fortunately you can get like a 3060 ti for pretty cheap rn

And it can still run most things pretty well

[fickle juniper]

i like amd more

i got this rx 6600 for like 150 euros, dont know the prices of 3060 ti used

[mortal plume]

It's like 200

[fickle juniper]

its sad that delta is so poorly optimized because of UE5

[mortal plume]

At least here

[fickle juniper]

fox engine was great

[mortal plume]

Lowk we gotta nuke unreal engine ts so annoying 🥀

[fickle juniper]

atleast these arent in ue5 🙏🏿

[mortal plume]

🙏

Also weirdly enough 6000 series amd also doesn't have the issues of 7000 series

My friend has had her 6650 for years with none of the problems my 7600 or my friend's 7800xt has

[fickle juniper]

my friend has a powercolor 6650

[mortal plume]

Besides being incapable of running anything work related which sucks cause she's got game dev classes in college that require unreal engine work

[fickle juniper]

ue5 pmo

my favorite game engine has to be RE engine tho

shit is so optimized

wtf? this must be a bug, how the hell has the 5070 surpassed 60 cards and by so much

[fickle juniper]

huh

[mortal plume]

Crammed into a lot of rebuilts maybe

[rigid fjord]

it's called upgrades

[mortal plume]

Or ppl realizing the 5060, 4060 and 3060/3060ti are practically interchangeable

[next hill]

it wouldnt be realistic for a single month to add 6%

[mortal plume]

It's just same shit different number they barely perform better than one another

[mortal plume]

Fair, they have had some issues with it before

[rigid fjord]

and yeah, performance wise, 3060 and 4060 are similar, the 5060 is only slightly better

[wanton galleon]

what would you recommend for pl1 pl2 for an i7 8565u in an x1 carbon gen 7
for some weird reason pl1 and pl2 were set to 51w 😭

ill ptm7950 it in the near future

[mortal plume]

Yeag and the 3060 at least has the benefit of having a 12gb variant

[rigid fjord]

it's only blessing

[mortal plume]

Truly

[mortal plume]

Lowk a good budget gaming/work combo gpu

[fickle juniper]

21k rsd for me

[mortal plume]

I hope igpus get to the same level as the 3060 soon so handhelds stop sucking at running things and become actually worth the 1000 dollars they cost now

[rigid fjord]

as it's a 'U' sku cpu, then it's going to stay low powered and tbh that's probably the max it does as it is

[next hill]

lol win11 and win10

[median warren]

Noctua 5080 at CEX, crazy

[mortal plume]

Not bad tbh

[median warren]

The fact that someone traded that in

51W on an 8650u is actually pretty decent if I had to say lol

https://tenor.com/view/wow-indiana-jones-harrison-ford-temple-of-doom-amazed-gif-21878111

win 11 drop because reverting back to win10 or going to linux

[rigid fjord]

overpriced turd

[median warren]

No, literally but who in their right mind would trade it in tho

[next hill]

yeah, that i understand

[mortal plume]

I'm still going strong on win10

[rigid fjord]

with extended security updates?

[median warren]

Honestly, with how shit the prices and the fact it's cex, nah

[mortal plume]

Idk some people lowk dumb as bricks and don't realize true value

[fickle juniper]

man one guy almost sold me a 4gb "rx 6600" a few days ago 😭

[next hill]

what bullies see when the bullied call up a friend of theirs (talking about size)

[median warren]

It's a noctua edition too man

[mortal plume]

Nah I'm rawdogging it

[kindred halo]

Rx 6500 lmao

[rigid fjord]

yes, not just because it's cex, because noctua

[mortal plume]

I'll continue to use it until games and steam stop supporting it

[rigid fjord]

or it's a chinese special

[median warren]

It's honestly a statement piece

[mortal plume]

If linux or windows haven't figured their shit out by then I'm becoming a hermit

[rigid fjord]

no, a statement piece would be the hof

[next hill]

vulkan

[mortal plume]

I'm straight up ditching tech and selling everything to move to the woods

[median warren]

Listen, I'd have that graphics card even tho I have a 4080 super, I'd buy it just to have it as decoration, I really fw with the Noctua colours

[rigid fjord]

linux has stuff figured out, also at the same time, it's only a couple kernel anticheats that's affected and thats only from the shit games

[mortal plume]

It's also really quiet which is a nice bonus

[fickle juniper]

when i canceled the order after taking a deeper look into the benchmarks and stats he started becomin furious bro 😭

[median warren]

Yesss

[kindred halo]

Also
How "bad" would broadwell products (E5 2680 V4) be for gaming,,,,
Nothing more modern than Arena Breakout Infinite lol
So nothing like BF6, RE9 (unless that's fairly capable of being ran?) or the sorted

[rigid fjord]

so you like a pc looking like the results of a taco tuesday then

[next hill]

i spend 95% of time on linux, and windows is just for anticheat games, as well as a few Euro Truck Simulator addons

[mortal plume]

Unfortunately i am a piggy enjoying the slop trough so those few games are what's stopping me

[median warren]

Even tho it is brown, it's a nice brown, I really liked the all noctua pc ltt built

[mortal plume]

That and nvidia being reluctant to improve linux driver support

[wanton galleon]

do you reckon something like 20/40 is sufficient

because i dont think it was very happy with this

[mortal plume]

If i have to dualboot i might as well use windows

They alr have all my data i just want ts to work man 😭

[calm plaza]

it isn't the worst brand

[rigid fjord]

may have some performance differences but yeah should be fine

[next hill]

computers get so scared lol, i hear its loud for no reason, i open the monitor to check temps, and instantly fall from 66 to 50c

[median warren]

Oh by the way, in regards to windows and it being Kaka, I know this wasn't a wise decision but using winaero tweaker I turned off windows updates and haven't updated my windows since like September

[rigid fjord]

their customer service is one of the worse though, also sapphire > gigabyte

[mortal plume]

Fan curve moment

[calm plaza]

this is true

[median warren]

But I also used other tools to delete bloat ware and telemetries, so it's actually quite good now

[next hill]

i have it setup enough for myself, its not crazy loud, just weird for idle so checked to see

[mortal plume]

Fair

[rigid fjord]

all of which can be done without scripts, and theres specific command lines you can use to make it better

[kindred halo]

-I am seeing a bundle with an X99, E5, and 32 gigglebits of ECC DDR4 for $180
Image attached is it
(WiFi went out right before I was going to send this, which should explain the delay)

[median warren]

It's important to make a good fan curve, recently built a pc for a friend, I spent more time optimising it, making fan curves and etc than building the actual pc

[mortal plume]

Idk my 4070 been quiet since i got it, infinitely less headaches than the rx 7600 that thing sucked

[next hill]

i wanna play some cities skylines, but cant setup skyve on linux, still waiting for modders to see what issues could be

[mortal plume]

I had to have the fans spinning at 1800 rpm just so it wouldn't bluescreen my shit

[kindred halo]

[calm plaza]

they also had fried pcb/pcie connectors in alot of 4000/7000 series gpus in early 2024

[median warren]

Yeah I mean I just used some tools yk, winaero tweaker, christitus tool and revo uninstaller, although I disabled updates so windows doesn't re enable stuff when I update it

[mortal plume]

And it still crashed from the shit drivers so i had to put in the fan curves like 3 times a month minumum

[kindred halo]

Dude was pissed off he couldn't send you that RX 550 or whatever it really was

[mortal plume]

I hate 7000 series radeon so much

Anyone claiming the drivers don't suck anymore on amd is clearly running an nvidia card full time and only using amd for the review

[median warren]

I kinda wanna get a 9070 xt and a 9800x3d just to move to Linux as I know Nvidia cards still lose quite a considerable amount of performance on Linux don't they?

Like I heard up to 30% with my 4080 super

[kindred halo]

RX 6600 1536 SP

[calm plaza]

yes I also play mmo games on my 720p 1000hz monitor

[mortal plume]

Also why logitech. Just why.

Please ditch the fuckin rubber man it's impossible to clean and wears out so fast 😭

[median warren]

I've seen that, didn't MSI make it? Like the 720p 1080hz monitor

[calm plaza]

its goated

three resolution settings, 240hz, 500hz, 1080hz

[median warren]

But 720p tho?

[mortal plume]

Also i love how it's like 50-100 extra for the rgb only for it to look like this when ur using it

I'm so glad i only paid 100 bucks for this mouse as opposed to the full 200

[median warren]

Why have you got white mouse

[mortal plume]

Black and white pc

[rigid fjord]

g502 hero lightspeed?

[median warren]

You're a unique human being

[mortal plume]

Also it was half off open box cause some guy bought it for a review and sent it back

[median warren]

You've got a good deal then

[mortal plume]

G502x plus

It's like 150-200 normally

[rigid fjord]

only one of these is a resolution, the others are refresh rates

[wheat torrent]

Holy shit its so bright it passes through your hand and you can see the veins

[mortal plume]

Genuinely just buy the non rgb version if ur gonna get it tho it's so much extra money for lights you will literally never see

[wheat torrent]

That's insane

[mortal plume]

No my skin is just like that

[wheat torrent]

Whatever

[calm plaza]

all three are refresh rates

[rigid fjord]

ah, the newer version of what i said essentially

[median warren]

Got transparent skin

[mortal plume]

Yup

[median warren]

He is right rauko, it can do 1080hz

[mortal plume]

Yea, at least the scroll wheel doesn't chip and get rusty over time

[rigid fjord]

1080 is not a refresh rate

[calm plaza]

look it up

[kindred halo]

It actually is now on some dumbass monitors

[mortal plume]

Had that issue on my g502 hero

[kindred halo]

720p@1080Hz

[wheat torrent]

There are 1080hz monitors

[rigid fjord]

what kind of idiot will go for these?

[wheat torrent]

They do this feature just because they can

[mortal plume]

Nobody lol it's too pixely for actual use

[wheat torrent]

Some will fail for the bait

[mortal plume]

It's like a 27 inch screen

Or 32 i don't remember

So it just looks like ass

[wheat torrent]

I wonder what is the bottleneck

I guess the hardware can do 1080hz but there is just too much bandwidth to do it for 1440p

[mortal plume]

Maybe yeah

[median warren]

That's why it's 720p

[rigid fjord]

not happened yet on mine though i still need to swap out the switches pre-emptively

[median warren]

Which btw I dont think anyone wants to game at 720p

[calm plaza]

people use those monitors for its 1440p setting, it still keeps 540hz

[mortal plume]

I never had to do any fixing to it but it did start rusting from repeared use of the scroll wheel

[wheat torrent]

1080hz 720p at 8 bit color is 29Gbps

[mortal plume]

Yeah but atp just buy a 1440p 540 tho?

[wheat torrent]

30 Gbps with some overhead

[rigid fjord]

cs:go players might

[mortal plume]

True they play it at 4:3 for some reason I'm not unemployed enough to remember

[wheat torrent]

1440p 1080hz is 110-120 GBPS

[kindred halo]

Something something "more FOV"

[calm plaza]

I mean your not wrong, most super high refresh rate monitors have that duel/triple channel convenience because it just groups pixels together

[median warren]

That's a good point but at what point is it too much? Like 1080hz is insane, as far as I'm aware some pro csgo players do play at 720p but at like 360hz or whatever, so would it make that big of a difference I wonder

[wheat torrent]

Dp 2.1 can do only 77 Gbps maximum

[mortal plume]

Valid

[median warren]

Dp 3.0 when

[rigid fjord]

anything over 240hz is already to much

[wheat torrent]

Interesting so this is a cable issue more or less

[mortal plume]

Funnily enough the jump from 240 to 360 is really not that significant but 360 to 540 or even 1080 is pretty substantial

[median warren]

I think it does have a benefit though, ltt did do a video on that

[rigid fjord]

years after hdmi 4.0 comes out

[wheat torrent]

Because 1440p 500hz which is what that monitor is, is pushing the bandwidth of dp 2.1

[mortal plume]

240 is plenty for like 99% of use cases tho

[wheat torrent]

And there is no better cable I recall

[median warren]

Yeah sadly

[rigid fjord]

60hz is plenty for like 80% of use cases

[median warren]

I'd love to try it out to be honest, I play on 180hz personally so I'd love to literally 10 times the refresh rate

[mortal plume]

I personally run 180 just bc I'm not spending 100 dollars more on a refresh rate I'll never witness bc a 4070 can't push that many frames in 1440p while maintaining high graphics

[rigid fjord]

100-165hz is plenty for the other 20%

[mortal plume]

Yea

[wheat torrent]

If you watch movies only and videos then 60hz is enough for 100% of the cases

[median warren]

I'd argue if someone is serious about their game as is actually good and going pro, that a higher refresh rate and combining that with lower ping would benefit them

[grizzled frost]

a lot of movies are 30fps

[mortal plume]

I will be upgrading to oled after i get a 4080 super tho, i hate ghosting and it's an issue pretty much all of the more affordable monitors are

[wheat torrent]

They are, but that wouldn't be 100% since some videos are 60fps

[rigid fjord]

60hz covers you for offices, printers, cnc machines, scanners

[mortal plume]

And it's like 4-600 bucks for a decent oled so why not y'know

[wheat torrent]

I played on 75 hz until 2.5 years ago

It covered 100% of what I did

[mortal plume]

Iirc it's still 24 but yea

[median warren]

Although, my friends are going semi professional in league, and most of them still play on 60h and 144hz but when they joined a team they played on 240hz and said they miss it everyday

So different strokes for different folks

[grizzled frost]

animation is conventionally 24fps, filmed video is usually 30

[wheat torrent]

Going semi professional in league

[mortal plume]

Fair

Iirc physical film was still 24 tho

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-fortnite-mymomiskindahomeless-cringe-gif-7944978134360840147

[mortal plume]

Maybe just the older film tho

[median warren]

Yeah, it's actually impressive

[grizzled frost]

True, but that’s rather uncommon nowadays outside of IMAX

[mortal plume]

Fr 😭

[sacred garnet]

I had a fun experience yesterday, my sisters PC decided to only boot with 1 ram stick and on the 6th try.

[rigid fjord]

could never call anyone playing league a 'professional' tbh

[wheat torrent]

Time Wasting Maxxing

[median warren]

I mean, it's an eSports like every other if anything its the most popular esports game, because it's almost the most popular pc game on earth, beating Minecraft

[wheat torrent]

If you go in go all in

If you don't go then don't go

[median warren]

And I mean the pros, I mean like the pro pros they make millions

[rigid fjord]

that's like calling cs:go players 'professionals'

[mortal plume]

As a full time time waster league is a 10/10 choice

[mortal plume]

Tbf if ur getting paid ur technically a professional

[wheat torrent]

It ain't beating Minecraft

[median warren]

They are, they are professional gamers at their game of choice, they are professional in the sense that they are the best at what they play

[median warren]

No like, it already has

[wheat torrent]

Cap

[median warren]

League is free, Minecraft isn't

[rigid fjord]

nope, they could be an apprentice and still be getting paid

[mortal plume]

Minecraft outsold tetris

[mortal plume]

Eh fair

[wheat torrent]

Those kids know how to pirate Minecraft so early

I would go as far as to say Minecraft might be the most pirated game

[mortal plume]

Pirated copies don't count but i can confirm i was in 4th grade getting some kid in 6th grade to download cracked Minecraft for me onto a thumb drive

[wheat torrent]

Because it is the most bought game at the same time

[mortal plume]

Minecraft by zyczu lowk elite ball knowledge

[median warren]

Currently, there are 116 million monthly users for league, for Minecraft around 20 million I think

[mortal plume]

It had so many modpacks

[median warren]

Those numbers, are fucking insane

[mortal plume]

It's the cracked Minecraft equivalent of a lamborghini, at least it was back when i still was a kid

[rigid fjord]

eh, i'd argue gtaV is more than likely to be more pirated

[wheat torrent]

116million must be the account number

[mortal plume]

Esp in poland where minecraft was considered prohibitively expensive to our parents back then

[wheat torrent]

Heavier to run, significantly less people pirating it

Lots of young people have access to low end laptops

Will run Minecraft but not GTA

[mortal plume]

Tryna convince mom to buy you a game on the internet for 130 zloty is like tryna convince her to buy you your own car at the age of 10

[wheat torrent]

So it kinda cuts a lot of people out of the equation

[rigid fjord]

nah, relatively easy to run, just poorly optimized for pc use

[median warren]

Daily...

[wheat torrent]

Cap statistics

[median warren]

Believe it or not, most played game on the planet

[mortal plume]

Probably not considering most people only rlly play online

And u need a valid copy for it

[wheat torrent]

I doubt those numbers are real unless there is a way to count the player count reliably

[median warren]

I mean there are

[mortal plume]

To be fair china fucking loves league

[median warren]

Riot games has access to those numbers,

They can see exactly how many people log on and play

[sacred garnet]

[mortal plume]

They have the manpower to be like 90% of that 30 million daily

[wheat torrent]

A single Roblox game had 21 million players at once

[mortal plume]

And it wouldn't surprise me if they actually are the 90%

[median warren]

30 million is insane, you can't comprehend that, currently csgo has 1.1 million a day

And that doesn't even come close to 30-40 million

[mortal plume]

And now that trash is getting a movie 💀

[wheat torrent]

Yes but they are not reporting the numbers, all those sites seem to have very different numbers from each another

And each of them have ads

[mortal plume]

Yes steal a brainrot movie is ACTUALLY in the works i wish i was kidding

[sacred garnet]

I just saw the video with bloatware.

[mortal plume]

Movie studio posts worst tax writeoff bait ever

[median warren]

I really do believe it, game has existed since 2009, is able to run on a laptop from 1998, no matter who you speak to they've at least heard of the game, and it's so popular it has its own netflix series and they rack in billions and billions each year just from league

[wheat torrent]

I guess other games might be more played than Minecraft

But even then it is still best selling game

[mortal plume]

And most popular over all

My boomer family don't know league but everyone knows minecraft

[median warren]

Also not to mention that league of legends world championship in eSports, when that starts, about a million people watch it, which is the same player count for csgo in a day

[ebon owl]

https://tenor.com/view/staring-meme-gif-705829194042584208

[sacred garnet]

Difference between popular and known, just remember that.

[wheat torrent]

I totally believe a huge portion of steal a brainrot were bots

But at the same time I don't know if there was anything to bot in that game

[mortal plume]

Yep

[ebon owl]

wth is steal a brainrot

[mortal plume]

100%

[mortal plume]

Roblox slop game

[ebon owl]

of course

[wheat torrent]

But it doesn't make sense for the game to get so botted during a event or a update

Like what do the bots going to do during the update there is nothing of use

[mortal plume]

It got like 26 million concurrent players once and it makes tens of millions a year

[ebon owl]

[fathom hatch]

I feel like you don't need to say that it's slop when talking about a Roblox game tbh

[mortal plume]

Roblox has a couple gems

[ebon owl]

https://giphy.com/gifs/crow-brains-rgull1t-Olj6AuGkvwBWlLETTH

[mortal plume]

But it's like 1 million to 1

[wheat torrent]

Thing is such numbers aren't improbable because there are a lot of kids on earth..... The numbers you would be able to pull is really that insane

[mortal plume]

There's like 100 gems total on a platform with a billion games

[wheat torrent]

There are quite a few games that started on Roblox then turned into real games

[mortal plume]

And lumber tycoon 2 lowk my fav that shit is gas

[wheat torrent]

Unturned is the only one that comes to mind at the moment

[mortal plume]

I was just abt to say that

[wheat torrent]

Which was somewhat successful I think

[mortal plume]

I enjoy phantom forces a lot when I'm not getting curb stomped by people

Unparalleled gun variety

[wheat torrent]

I'm sure there are lots of other indie games that got born from Roblox

Other game studios wish they had such community as Roblox

[mortal plume]

Name any other game where i can run a russian makarov modified into a full auto smg with an 80 round drum and an af2011-a1

[wheat torrent]

You got a insanely high community of paying customers....

Most of them do not pay using their own money

[ebon owl]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1381390284302188637/1394529622921580655/attachment.gif

[wheat torrent]

Meaning they have no idea of value

[mortal plume]

Coffee stain publishing bought welcome to bloxburg for tens of millions

They likely already are starting to profit

[wheat torrent]

That being said...

Crimson desert is releasing soon

[mortal plume]

The creators of jailbreak made 2 million dollars in their first 2 years before roblox started paying just for people playing your game

[wheat torrent]

Also GTA 6 should of released around this time lmfao

[mortal plume]

Top games now average 500k concurrent players and are filled to the brim with microtransactions and gambling

They make insane money

And that's despite roblox taking a 75% cut of all revenue

[wheat torrent]

People usually love to belittling Roblox developers and whatnot

How this shit game makes so much money!!!

But it's really just a numbers game...

Why is a surgeon paid less than a soccer player?

Same reason, when you have lots of people paying a small amount it adds up to insane amounts

[glacial dune]

hi i need a lil help i am going to devlop a website

[wheat torrent]

Why

[mortal plume]

Roblox is by now likey a larger games platform than steam and the top earners are a dev team of like 1 guy and 20 freelancers

[glacial dune]

any idea on Squarespace

[median warren]

There's no way it is

[wheat torrent]

What do you need

[mortal plume]

Idk i wouldn't doubt it

[glacial dune]

a website

[median warren]

Steam is massive and Roblox definitely lost a considerable amount of traffic due to the controversy with the... Child safety to put it lightly

[wheat torrent]

Wow you already said that

What website do you need give some context

[mortal plume]

Roblox is available on all platforms and most of the games are free to play

[mortal plume]

Oh trust me no it has not lmao

[glacial dune]

showcasing works of others, more of a market place

[median warren]

They lost billions in shares

[wheat torrent]

Market place will need a way to do transactions securely

[median warren]

It definitely affected them

[mortal plume]

And yet the games didn't lose players

[wheat torrent]

Seek things like shopify or other platforms that have payment processors

[glacial dune]

yes but ill be paid by the vendor, not by the customer

[median warren]

I dunno, steam is pretty huge and it's only going to go up with the steam machine

[mortal plume]

I play roblox, no games were affected by tbe controversy

[median warren]

Didn't they do something to the chat system

[glacial dune]

for a while ill create my own and in time ill hire a dev to create one for me

[mortal plume]

And on top of that like i said, it's on all platforms and kids fucking love it

[mortal plume]

Yes, you can only chat with trusted friends and people in your age range

[median warren]

Maybe you're right

[median warren]

Do you play Roblox Lizzie

[mortal plume]

But it's incredibly easy to work around

[mortal plume]

Only tycoons, fishing games and phantom forces

[wheat torrent]

idk im lacking lots of context to help

[mortal plume]

So it was only rlly implemented to get the shareholders to stop freaking out

[median warren]

You wretched being

[median warren]

Did it work tho

[mortal plume]

Hey man i pick and choose my slop

Barely lmao they're very out of touch

[median warren]

Lmfao

[median warren]

I want Roblox to fall and crumble personally

[mortal plume]

Also I'm not paying 30 bucks for a roblox tier tycoon game with worse performance from steam ngl

[mortal plume]

Same but I'll enjoy what's there for as long as there are actually entertaining games to play

I love me my freeform tycoons

And phantom forces gunplay is peak

[median warren]

I always had a bad feeling about Roblox you know, but even from like the age of 14, never played it

[median warren]

You know what is truly peak, the game, peak

[mortal plume]

I had no other choices as a kid

My shitty laptop couldn't even run Minecraft

[median warren]

Xbox 360 days were goated

[mortal plume]

Too expensive

[median warren]

Oh tell me about it, I remember running Minecraft at like 15 FPS

[mortal plume]

We didn't have console money

[median warren]

On my dad's old laptop

[mortal plume]

Even in 2019 i was hyped just to be able to borrow my sister's xbox 360 when she moved back to poland for a bit

[median warren]

What do you play on now

[mortal plume]

So it was really roblox or nothing

And now i just play like 8 games on it

[mortal plume]

Pc

4070 and 5700x3d with 32 gigs of ram

But lowk roblox the only platform where u can get tycoons that aren't from 2009

And satisfactory is fun but sometimes i don't wanna rebuild the industrial revolution

Just a sawmill

I love my roblox slop

Also my friends are bastards and never wanna play helldivers

[median warren]

Those bastards

[mortal plume]

fr

[median warren]

That's a sexy pc

How did you go from no console money to such a good pc

[mortal plume]

could be worse btw, my first laptop cost my sister 1000 great british pounds back in 2015 and it had a fucking pentium, they scammed the hell out of her

she only finished paying it off 2 years ago

[median warren]

Fuck them, that's so scummy I hate that

[mortal plume]

it literally couldn't even run minecraft

my last laptop had a 5th gen i5 and that shit SUCKED

also it was 1200 usd 💀

poland is hell

[median warren]

😭

[mortal plume]

and so was the uk in 2015 ig

[median warren]

Do you live Poland now or? Cause you said gbp

[mortal plume]

she lives in scotland, got me the laptop there

[fathom hatch]

Still is

[mortal plume]

truth nuke

i'm still in poland

but i translate most prices to usd cause nobody knows what the fuck a zloty is

[median warren]

You know I sold my old pc for £500 to my friend and of that 500 I spent 230 to upgrade it to make it better, even tho the pc is worth like a grand in total, just so my friend wouldn't get scammed and fucked over with prebuilts and stuff like that

Gotta look out for your loved ones

[mortal plume]

fr

my friend's brother lowk did the dumbest thing i ever seen

got a pc with a 12900 and 4070 ti super, cpu broke and sold it for 200 bucks

[median warren]

Holy shit stop, you're making me mad

[cinder rivet]

Guys what ssd should I get if I want pure reliability

[mortal plume]

and my friend DIDN'T TELL ME that he was selling it

[cinder rivet]

I need something with dram and I'm thinking TLC?

[mortal plume]

while i was actively shopping for parts

to this day i have not forgiven him

but he got his payback in the form of being stuck with a 1060 3gb and a water cooled 9th gen i3

[wheat torrent]

990 pro

[cinder rivet]

Is there's a low storage SSD with dram and just pure reliability?

[cinder rivet]

Hmm I see

Samsung is really overpriced I went to Sim Lim and all they had was 2tbs for like 400

[mortal plume]

lowkey atp just get a 4tb

over here they're like 300 bucks idk how much they are where you live

[wheat torrent]

yes

[median warren]

That's what I got, 2 990 pros

[wheat torrent]

everyone be buying them as the "best" ssds

[median warren]

I was thinking of sabrent too but I guess 990 pro is still king

[grizzled frost]

I need the Macbook Neo Embargo to lift

[wheat torrent]

crucial mx500

[cinder rivet]

Pretty sure that's closer to a grand lol

[mortal plume]

damn 😔

anyways see you goblins i gotta shower

[cinder rivet]

Hmm

[mortal plume]

hopefully it'll make my body forget i only slept for 3 hours

[wheat torrent]

why do you need a reliable ssd

[median warren]

✨ It won't ✨

[grizzled frost]

Who wants an unreliable SSD?

[mortal plume]

[median warren]

He gets it

[wheat torrent]

yeah but you're looking at more expensive options if you focus on reliability

while normal ssds will do the job just well for normal users

[grizzled frost]

Normal SSD's are reliable

[wheat torrent]

yeah

but if you search for "most reliable" result you may not get the most normal ssds

[grizzled frost]

anything with TLC NAND is more than reliable

"what m.2 should i buy" is almost always the cheapest TLC ssd you can find

[cinder rivet]

Long term OS drive

[grizzled frost]

I wish Win11 had a built in redundant boot drive option

love truenas for that

[wheat torrent]

I would get a smaller SSD for my boot drive

not a 4tb SSD

[grizzled frost]

in my win11 system i just have 1 SSD, a 4tb

[cinder rivet]

Was trying to ask for that but no local offline sellers have that sadly

[wheat torrent]

something like 512GB perhaps?

[median warren]

Yeah that's how I do it, 1tb for boot 2tb for games

[cinder rivet]

I'm considering a dynabook and a gigabyte 7300 tbh

[grizzled frost]

Separate SSD's for boot are kind of silly

[cinder rivet]

Yeah I'm looking for that

[cinder rivet]

I have my HDDs for that

[wheat torrent]

when you have to do a clean reinstall you do not have to worry about your data

[grizzled frost]

HDD's for boot?

[cinder rivet]

My main problem is the bootup it takes like 10 mins to boot my pc rn on my hdd so I want to boot it faster with a ssd

[cinder rivet]

Oh I mean games

[median warren]

I have the 1tb for boot and other applications, such as discord, and just anything that isn't a game, and then 2tb is exclusively games yk

[grizzled frost]

on my win11 machine all i have is a single 4tb M.2

for my servers i usually use 2 2.5in sata SSD's for boot

[prisma rover]

am new here

[wheat torrent]

same

[grizzled frost]

I'm not super worried about losing data on my win11 machine, i do weekly backups

[median warren]

That's great, hello

[prisma rover]

dont know single things about linux

[wheat torrent]

how much storage do your backups take

[grizzled frost]

my win11 M.2 could die tomorrow and i wouldn't lose anything

[prisma rover]

learning about it

[grizzled frost]

About 7TB

That's just saving what changes with each backup tho

[median warren]

That's actually crazy work, I'm kinda like a no backups 100% risk kinda guy, and even if I lose data I don't lose anything as all I do is play games and I store nothing

[wheat torrent]

okay but now remove all your nas and whatnot

and you just have a single 4tb drive for your personal rig

[cinder rivet]

I have a feeling that my laptop is running a MX500

[grizzled frost]

Honestly still not too worried, anything super important is cloud backed up, and steam saves game saves

[median warren]

You are definitely covered in regards to that

[wheat torrent]

it is a pain in ass to save 4tb on cloud

[grizzled frost]

A bit annoying to have to set up win11 again, but not the end of the world (assuming no NAS backup)

Yeah that's why just super important stuff is cloud saved

IE family photos and stuff

My NAS's don't have an offsite backup, or even a redundant copy, just parity drives

[cinder rivet]

True and I'm considering to do a NAS myself too, I can put a tower in my case lol

[grizzled frost]

my main NAS uses 3x4tb drives in a Raidz1, my new NAS that i'm working on migrating to uses 3x 8 drive raidz2 pools using 1.2tb sas drives

8TB usable, and 17TB usable respectively

Backups are scheduled for 2am on Sundays, so i never notice them

[cinder rivet]

Tho will crucial comes out with a successor to the now DQ MX500?

[grizzled frost]

Using 2.5g networking on my motherboard for backup

Though i'm gonna upgrade to 10g networking on my Win11 Desktop at some point

I have all the relevant networking infra to support it, i just need an M.2 to 10g adapter

(SFF build so no spare PCIe slots)

"I paid for the whole CPU(s), i'm gonna use the whole CPU(s)"

the other NAS on the other hand...

guess which one is runnning CPU render

[ocean axle]

The nas

[craggy cove]

why pay for a better psu when you can use one of these

[grizzled frost]

all that CPU render for this

[grizzled frost]

Fire speedrun

[craggy cove]

ive got sata to 6 pin adapters too

[sleek ibex]

Folding@Home

[grizzled frost]

I accept the existence of those, since some devices use 6 pin pcie for like 10w

[craggy cove]

between the sata and molex adapters i should use a molex to 6 pin right

i need it for a gtx 970

[grizzled frost]

please no

[craggy cove]

the suggested psu for this is like 300w

its a 970 i got for free like

[grizzled frost]

500-550w*

[craggy cove]

tpu lied to me

well i have a xilence (bomb) 500w psu

[grizzled frost]

you can probably run it just fine on 300w, but pair it with a decent power draw CPU and some hdd's, and you're gonna push it

assuming that 300w can do 300w on the 12v rail

that isn't a guarantee

[craggy cove]

well im thinking it should be fine with a 4590 and a single sata ssd

idk why im doing this

i have this gpu, an old case , psu and ssd so i do the logical conclusion and make a pc

[grizzled frost]

84W CPU, so only 200w of budget for everything else

970 caps out at 148W

[craggy cove]

this pc will raise my insurance rates

[grizzled frost]

only if you tell your home insurance provider

[craggy cove]

true

literally how does dog fur get everywhere

[grizzled frost]

fans

[craggy cove]

its been sitting closed under my bed for half a year

was clean

[grizzled frost]

ambient airflow

[craggy cove]

probably

384w on the 12v wow

[wheat torrent]

one of my servers have cobwebs

[craggy cove]

maybe it will even work

[craggy cove]

bug removal web

[wheat torrent]

world wide web

[craggy cove]

sounds like a good thing to have

[grizzled frost]

i think i'd vomit

[wheat torrent]

I guess

unless a spider dies somewhere and somehow short circuts?

is that possible

@grok send that image of a rat dying electrocuted

[craggy cove]

are spiders conductive

[wheat torrent]

bug zappers work somehow

[wheat torrent]

elite ball knowleadge, big if true.

[gleaming rose]

that is not why those work

[sleek ibex]

Chilling with two sleeping doggos

[gleaming rose]

humans aren't particularly conductive but if you touch a bug zapper it won't feel nice

I guess in older computers which operated at higher voltages it was possible but nowadays it's unlikely

[mortal plume]

tbf those are basically mandatory for those shitty office pcs that come with proprietary power supplies if you wanna do anything to em

[mortal plume]

unless you crack open your power supply and start poking around then you die

[craggy cove]

they seem like a good idea until you have to buy an sff gpu

(assuming you get an sff pc)

[mortal plume]

tbf even in ones with full size slots you can't fit a full size gpu

believe me i've tried, had an ideacentre and a windforce gtx 760, i'd have to get a dremmel to fit it so i didn't bother and ended up shilling out 150 bucks for a 1650

2022 was hell

[craggy cove]

im surprised they even gave us a 16x slot

[mortal plume]

fr

even those full size cases are basically only big enough to fit a card the size of the pcie slot

[gleaming rose]

hhh

[mortal plume]

any wider and you gotta cut a hole in the side panel

[gleaming rose]

lenovo please do something

[mortal plume]

only real exception i've found is the optiplex on my floor

the full size ones can accomodate normal gpus just not very well

[mortal plume]

don't count on it lenovo's horrible

every lenovo product i have ever owned was overpriced and underperforming

[gleaming rose]

wtf lenovo is great

I'm waiting for them to drop the new yoga pro lineup so I can buy

[mortal plume]

both laptops sucked, phone sucked, tablet sucked

[gleaming rose]

what laptops?

[mortal plume]

only good thing from them was the ewaste keyboard that mf lasted me like 2 years

[mortal plume]

50g and some other one i forgot the name of

i can't fault lenovo for the price of the 50g, just the store that sold it to the sister

that shit was several thousand

[gleaming rose]

I mean those are shitty laptops

[mortal plume]

i have never had good experience with lenovo

my mom's phone had to be taken to a repair shop like twice and it was still broken after

[gleaming rose]

windows laptops suck until the higher end

[gleaming rose]

lenovo ThinkPhone?

[mortal plume]

no idea

but it would randomly call people it sucked so bad

[gleaming rose]

I mean I ain't buying no lenovo or Motorola phone

just getting a high end laptop

[mortal plume]

fair

either way i distrust them now

oh also the ideacentre i had was the most proprietary thing i think i've ever had the displeasure of dealing with

but that's an issue with office desktops as a whole

[gleaming rose]

I am also considering an Asus laptop but the lenovo has better specs

[mortal plume]

the front io ports were part of the motherboard

[gleaming rose]

this is expected behaviour in a small form factor

[mortal plume]

yea but it still sucked

also the motherboard bios didn't allow for changing the clockspeeds of ram

[craggy cove]

they never do

[mortal plume]

unfortunately

also it had the worst cpu amd has ever made imo but that's amd's fault

and the fact that it was bought in 2021 so it was the best i could get

how you make a cpu bottleneck itself is beyond me

either way, rough time with lenovo as a whole

[gleaming rose]

I think the panther lake lineup this year is the best CPU Intel has ever made

because of those delectable integrated graphics

[mortal plume]

the igpus are really nice yea

at least they have l3 cache

[craggy cove]

core duo and haswell is tough to beat

[mortal plume]

ngl 12th gen is where it peaked for me

good prices with incredible performance compared to what came before

(and also what came after tbh lmao)

100 bucks for an i3 12100f that didn't bottleneck a 3070 all that much? that's pretty good

also support for both ddr4 and ddr5 as well as not being as unstable as 13th or 14th gen where you were basically gambling to see if your shit would brick itself

[prisma rover]

can i ask one basic question here

[mortal plume]

that's what the channel is for

[craggy cove]

well not really

[mortal plume]

yea

but kinda

[prisma rover]

is it good idea to uninstall windows all together and and install linux

[mortal plume]

depends on what you do with your system

[prisma rover]

welllll i wanna do something with devops and cybersec

major

[craggy cove]

should my cpu fan be spinning at 3 rpm i wonder

[prisma rover]

hahah

[mortal plume]

yeah totally :clueless:

[prisma rover]

linux is so cool

[mortal plume]

it's what the world runs on

[prisma rover]

do you use ms office type app in linux

[mortal plume]

honestly no idea, someone else most likely does tho

[elfin echo]

make it 8400 so it matches my msi (god help me)

[bold olive]

i swear I saw debian gnu
