[frigid blade]

Do you see a 4 pin header between the USB-C and MicroHDMI port

[lean flame]

it's amazing how far DIY tech has come.

[rigid fjord]

an unfused header, powering it this way you do risk shorting the board out

[frigid blade]

It’s no different to using the open pins on an ESP32S3 lol

As long as you understand the pinout you won’t have issues

[glossy veldt]

im buying a toner printer for 30 bucks

[rigid fjord]

it should have a pwm header on it, if it don't you can run a 5v fan off the headers in the pic daniel posted, and use one of the gpio headers to do pwm control of the fan

[glossy veldt]

what could possibly go wrong gang

[left dove]

toner explodes

[frigid blade]

You can also power the fan using the USB-C port

[rigid fjord]

true, any 12v fan as it is, runs on 5v as the starting voltage

[formal sonnet]

Depends on the make, model, and state of the printer. Hopefully it's a Brother...

[glossy veldt]

samsung....

it's a Samsung ML 4050N from like 2007

[formal sonnet]

Oof. Hopefully you can still get drivers for that. HP has been very schiezty about Samsung printers ever since they bought them out.

[glossy veldt]

i have some windows 7 computers

oh wait what

[formal sonnet]

Oh neat. They claim to have Windows 11 drivers. That's a shocker actually. https://support.hp.com/ca-en/drivers/samsung-ml-4050-laser-printer-series/model/19135077

[glossy veldt]

yeah that's what i was gonna say

might be because it's marketed towards office and workspace use

business grade stuff is way different

[south arrow]

I have an old mg2500 smth, good for basic printing

[frigid blade]

"business grade" doesnt mean anything imo

its like when people say "military grade", its the same thing that costs more and still breaks

[glossy veldt]

it may have meant something back then

[rigid fjord]

@open rock

[glossy veldt]

older xeon workstations and servers had much different tech from what was consumer available

i think

[frigid blade]

like what

[glossy veldt]

ya u got me idk bullshit

[rough salmon]

this looks so good, im buying this gng

[glossy veldt]

anyhow

[rough salmon]

steam machine case i think

[glossy veldt]

im not spending 30 bucks on an ink cartridge that will only do 100 pages

i'd rather spend the 30 bucks on an old toner printer that can do 10k-20k pages on a single charge

[frigid blade]

yah i think its dumb that they use an electronic count instead of a sensor inside the cartridge or something to print

[rigid fjord]

3d printable

[frigid blade]

they force you to swap before it actually runs out

although it might not work that way exactly, i just know they dont use all of the ink possible

[glossy veldt]

i don't need ultra high quality super premium photographic ink for printing documents

i just need to print my college books...

[rigid fjord]

i could spend £40 on ink to do 10k pages

ciss's are a fun system to use

[glossy veldt]

i mean

don't those have issues with the ink catching sponge or something, and also need cleaning of the continuous system?

[rough salmon]

yeah but i want good qualit

[glossy veldt]

if you're printing photos for an album sure but then again for documents i don't really need color

[rough salmon]

yh documents u dont even need colour gng

[formal sonnet]

Yee I love how much these old black and white printers can achieve on one toner cartridge.
https://www.123ink.ca/p-328743-ml-d4550b-samsung-ml-d4550b-compatible-black-toner-high-yield

[rough salmon]

unless you NEED colour text

[rough salmon]

yh bro i cba with human verification

[formal sonnet]

If you print regularly enough (at least once a month) the system cleans itself with use. The waste ink sponge units are the real problem though, if they're electronically chipped, which they have no need to be but that's another problem.

but yeah the portal cube, im getting that onto my steam machine

why cant they sell steam machines without ram btw, is it cuz their ram is soldered

[gaunt spade]

steam machine

we wont see that for awhile

[rough salmon]

ikr

will probs be like 2028

[gaunt spade]

might as well build a pc

[rough salmon]

yeahhh

pc would be cheaper too

and better performance

[glossy veldt]

the only thing i hate about this printer is that the toner comes with a tiny pcb that tracks the amount of times it's been used so to refill the toner you need to replace the chip

[rough salmon]

yeah bro im just gonna stick with my £50 xbox controller

[gaunt spade]

even 50 is alot

[rough salmon]

yeaahhh

i struggled to save for my xbox controller

[glossy veldt]

i honestly don't mind a single use consumible toner... when it does 20k fucking pages

[teal sphinx]

wtf 85$

[rough salmon]

$100

but 85 for me cuz im in uk

[teal sphinx]

oh fak that is in pound sterling

[restive plinth]

thanks I'll check it out

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/slovakia-communism-socialist-XFaeLrHJGjtcmEmzcn

[glossy veldt]

this is literally so fucking lucrative

[rough salmon]

even linus said he wouldnt get the steam controller even though he could afford it when he can get a cheaper alternative that does better

[teal sphinx]

eh? just 120 pages?

[rough salmon]

i dont think the steam controller will do well cuz the prices, if it was $60 fair enough yanno

[glossy veldt]

yes.

[teal sphinx]

even my shitty laser printer from 20 years ago can do like 3000 pages with 1 toner

[odd marsh]

six. seven....

[teal sphinx]

and the toner cost like 10$ third party

[glossy veldt]

that's what im talking about for the past 10 minutes

[restive plinth]

How much is an Xbox controller in comparison btw

[glossy veldt]

im gonna be buying a toner printer for less than 30 bucks and it can do 20k pages on a single toner

TWENTY thousand

[rough salmon]

£50

[glossy veldt]

for the price of the cartridges i can buy another printer that will outlast almost 20 cartridge replacements

[rough salmon]

apparently the steam controller is that much cuz theyre gonna do it where its bundled with the steam machine at only £20 extra or something

[restive plinth]

crazy

[restive plinth]

well, that also depends on how much the steam machine costs

[gaunt spade]

too much

[rough salmon]

my man, if you think the steam controller is already expensive, good luck thinking the steam machine will just be $800

https://tenor.com/view/cray-lost-it-gone-mad-going-mad-stressed-gif-5502030

[restive plinth]

Xbox helix vs Steam machine is going to be an interesting comparison

[rough salmon]

yeah i know both will cost around 1k

[glossy veldt]

i see the 667 cartridge for my hp printer is 25.000 ars or about 17 us dollars for 120 pages
the toner for the samsung printer is 75.000 ars or about 52 dollars for 20.000 pages

[fringe prairie]

i fully expect the xbox to dunk on the steam machine

[glossy veldt]

so 3.75 argentine peso per print on the samsung and 200 ARS per print on the HP ink advantage

[rough salmon]

xbox is only adding a new tier,the series s and x will continue being supported, the project helix is just a new tier, theyve been doing tiers since xbox one

[glossy veldt]

1400 argentine peso is one dollar aprox. btw

[empty quartz]

360*

[glossy veldt]

there's a woman that's like at walking distance from my home that prints pages for 100 ars the page

[restive plinth]

According to what I read somewhere, Helix is going to have both game mode and windows mode. Game mode can run Xbox console games and also PC games (even from steam probably since xbox supports adding of steam games) and the windows mode might be able to run each and every game of yours ig, even non-steam or non-xbox games?

If that's the case, it's going to be the XBOX 360 moment again

[rough salmon]

but like it wont be able to run xbox purchased games like black ops 3 gng

only games u bought from microsoft store on pc...

[restive plinth]

no no it has a console mode also

[rough salmon]

unless they have an emulator

its jsut xbox app full screen

[restive plinth]

Xbox games will run only on the Game mode. Xbox games cannot run in Windows mode. That's the only issue

[restive plinth]

nope
It's a completely different thing

[rough salmon]

ooooh

so its an emulator inside of windows?

[open rock]

My sketchy aaah raspberry pi cooler

[rough salmon]

wait cant that like get users putting hacks on the game mode? or will it be fully locked down

[empty quartz]

If it has a disk drive, it’ll be able to also run your 360 games, and even og xbox games

[rough salmon]

i doubt itll have a disc drive

i think sony aint doing it for ps6

[terse pewter]

you know how people have a babyvoice when they see kittens or animals in general? i think this fan deserves the babyvoice

[fringe prairie]

they’ll probably pull a sony and make you buy the disk drive separately if you want it

[rough salmon]

real

[open rock]

Yes lol its a random one i found in a 150v psu from a old server

[rough salmon]

ill personally be using game mode, but obvs if i want custom zombies on black ops 3, i have to go windows mode

[restive plinth]

So
naming is confusing right now

XBOX mode is the mode rolling out to all windows devices so that the desktop stuff can be shut down to allocate a lot of memory to the game

Game Mode is a separate thing that will be there on helix, which turns it into a console (and that will be the default behaviour ig). Game Mode will be able to run both xbox console games, and also PC games (similar to the current xbox mode).

[rough salmon]

ooooh, but wil it be locked down, like u cant transfer files between console mode and pc mode

cuz if u can transfer files, then i think theres gonna be alot of suddenly "free" games installed

[restive plinth]

It will be for sure. If its not going to be locked down, they can just integrate it into the existing xbox mode, which is not going to be a good idea for their sales.

[rough salmon]

yeahhhh, too much security risks i think if they use the current xbox mode

like the xbox one has the series X|S home screen when it shouldnt be supported, its slow af on bxox one

[restive plinth]

They probably will promote xbox game pass more than anything so I don't think they'll give anything extra tbh
But since it technically runs windows, I am slightly hopeful that it might be a little bit upgradable

[rough salmon]

yeee

do we know the specs as of yet?

[restive plinth]

wait lemme check

[gaunt spade]

na

[restive plinth]

Its going to use some custom AMD graphics chip iirc

[rough salmon]

i hope it has at least 24gb ram too gng, probs wont tho cuz the ram apocolpyse

[restive plinth]

There was this website leak that I read. I am not able to find it right now. But it was apparently a FAQ section of the Helix website. Take this with a pinch of salt. It might be fake.
But apparently it is going to have around 32GB ram but in Windows mode you'll only be able to see 24Gigs. Idk the technical details about that, and idk if it is real or not.

[rough salmon]

i see

maybe its 32gb ram but windows takes too much so u only see around 24gb

or it reserves a bit so u can seemlessly switch to console mode

[restive plinth]

Doubt it
It's some other technical thing

Windows will display whatever RAM it sees, even if it is using like half of it.

[frigid blade]

https://wccftech.com/roundup/ps6-vs-xbox-next-project-helix-everything-we-know/

take it with a grain of salt

[rough salmon]

if the xbox is like x3 better than the ps6

people will go for the next xbox

[frigid blade]

assuming people can afford it

[gaunt spade]

x3 is crazy

[rough salmon]

yeah ps6 is still just a console yeah

[restive plinth]

Yep I saw something similar to this
But this leak I saw on Twitter had a full blown FAQ page which answered a lot of questions like "Why do I see 24GB RAM in windows mode instead of 32GB RAM as advertised"

ANd some other questions were about the difference between "Game Mode" and "Windows Mode"

Take it with a pinch of salt. Some other leaks said its going to be like $1000-1200.

[restive plinth]

Even if it is a little bit costly, they might bundle like one year worth of xbox game pass ultimate to sweeten the deal.

[rough salmon]

if its 1.2k ill just get a monthly contract out on it and pretend im paying for xbox live gng

[frigid blade]

yah but this is totally different, $1k+ is a lot

[rough salmon]

yeah 1k is alot

i know the ps6 will be around 900

[frigid blade]

ps4 came out at $400

so look how much price keeps increasing

[rough salmon]

900 ps6, or a 1.2k xbox helix thats x3 more powerful, the ps6 will be the budget console for 2027+

[restive plinth]

Yep
but if the Windows mode is as good, it could be like a PC replacement for most people yk

You can play all PC games, all your steam games, but also any console releases on day 1.

[frigid blade]

at that point id rather just use their xbox mode with my own built pc rather than overpaying for the console but yah

[rough salmon]

and its great for the pc gamers who just wanna switch on their xbox helix, no bullshi, just turn on and play

im a pc gamer but i want either the steam machine or xbox helix

[restive plinth]

But you wouldn't get access to the console games on day 1 though

[ancient sail]

yo just a quick question, is it normal that i can only run one monitor over displayport?

[rough salmon]

yh that would slowly roll out the xbox game

[gaunt spade]

so unrealistic

[rough salmon]

how much resolution

[ancient sail]

uhhh one is

lemme check lol

[rough salmon]

and what gpu

[ancient sail]

gpu is 9070 xt

[rough salmon]

id say make sure the drivers are up to date

[ancient sail]

one monitor is 3440 x 1440

the other one is 2560 x 1440

[rough salmon]

try the other display port

[ancient sail]

drivers are updated but what Ive also had happen before is that one monitor goes static and the other one just turns off

[frigid blade]

should be able to run those

[rough salmon]

on that monitor

[gaunt spade]

wdym

[rough salmon]

like plug ur working monitor display port cable into the other display port

see if it works

[ancient sail]

if I run 2 monitors over DP one of the screens just goes black

[ancient sail]

i already did

[rough salmon]

how long u had ur gpu for gng

[ancient sail]

both cables are working just not at the same time

[ancient sail]

a year now

[gaunt spade]

try shutting down and turning on with both plugged in

[ancient sail]

i already tried

one of the two will turn on

[frigid blade]

Time to RMA /s

[ancient sail]

its random which one everytime

thats what i was thinking

it also has A LOT of coil whine

[rough salmon]

time to reset ur bios settingssss

i looked online apparently sometimes its gpu config in the bios

[gaunt spade]

thats ok

[ancient sail]

like I can hear the coilwhine over my game sometimes with headphones on

kinda sounds like its gonna explode

[rough salmon]

damn

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/gym-cortisol-spike-low-test-eCobiFJ0vnQwmKmhPh

[ancient sail]

im gonna try and RMA it but

[rough salmon]

whats rma mean

[ancient sail]

like warranty

[rough salmon]

ooooh like get it sorted through warranty

[ancient sail]

ye

[gaunt spade]

which gpu

[ancient sail]

RX 9070 XT

[formal sonnet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_merchandise_authorization

[ancient sail]

this is what happens sometimes

one monitor just turns off the other one goes static

then after 10 min its back to normal

[glossy veldt]

have you ever heard a blower gpu at 100%

[ancient sail]

dont think it can compare to the coilwhine

of my gpu because its insane

What should i do for a tablet upgrade

I have the 1st usb 3.0 ipad

(2017 ipad pro 10.5)

Its also the first ever tablet with 120hz

[deep musk]

(ngl, I have no idea about tablets 👉 👈 )

[empty quartz]

I was thinking either m1 ipad pro 11” or m4/m5 ipad pro 11”

M4/m5 11” pro’s have tandem oled

[median warren]

Turn it into a painting, so frame it and have it display a picture

[empty quartz]

11” is just 120hz ips

[median warren]

It's gonna be like a frame TV but much smaller

[empty quartz]

The 12.9” m1 is mini led, but not the 11”

[empty quartz]

Thats not what i was asking

[median warren]

Oh okay

Do it anyway

[empty quartz]

I cannot decide what i want as an upgrade

[median warren]

I don't know about tablets either so just get the newest one probably

[empty quartz]

The 2018 ipad pro would be nice, but this year will probably be its last year of updates

[south arrow]

Oled is nice

[empty quartz]

Only issue is that they regularly cost more than my macbook pro

Unless i go second hand

It is cool however that the ipad pro’s and air’s are the most powerful tablets on the market

[fringe prairie]

it’s sad that they don’t run macos though

[empty quartz]

Not really

They’re ipads, not macbooks

[fringe prairie]

it would still open up the ipad to do so much more

if not macos on ipad at least let the ipad run mac apps

hi fellas

i am on a really tight budget and im thinking of upgrading from 1060 to 1660 is there any diff between the two?

[empty quartz]

Go rdna 2

[deep musk]

which version of the 1060?

[empty quartz]

If you can manage it in your budget

6600 is far better

[exotic swan]

6 gb

[exotic swan]

im an nvidia fanboy heh

[empty quartz]

Trust me, dont go 1060

[exotic swan]

thats the one i have rn lol

[deep musk]

let me check but I think that 1660 is better

[empty quartz]

Pascal was good for its time, turing or rdna 2 is farrrrrrrr better

[exotic swan]

like i said nvidia is my thing

im thinking also about rtx 2060

[fringe prairie]

get a 3060

[gaunt spade]

he said from 1060

[deep musk]

the 1660 is a bit better, but save up for at least a 2060

[empty quartz]

But why?

[exotic swan]

ok ill think about it

[empty quartz]

[gaunt spade]

what cpu

[exotic swan]

11400f

[deep musk]

going from a 1060 6g to a base 1660 isn't worth it (especially with a tight budget)

[empty quartz]

Unless you’re playing dx12 titles

[exotic swan]

if i dont find a 2060 then i might go with 1660 ti or super?

[empty quartz]

@exotic swan whats your budget

[exotic swan]

about 170 usd

[empty quartz]

Save up

[exotic swan]

but im not in us

im in morocco\

[empty quartz]

Then why are you using usd

[gaunt spade]

u can get better than 2060 for 170 like wat

[exotic swan]

conversion

[deep musk]

they are both basically the same (the ti and super)

yeah, a base 2060 would still be better

[frigid blade]

the ti is only faster by a few percentage

[deep musk]

barely

[gaunt spade]

?

[gaunt spade]

yea ive seen the market there

[exotic swan]

@gaunt spade

someone help @wet hornet in tech support new message

[rich gate]

Fsr is dogwater

[warm anvil]

who cares

[deep musk]

I love mine

[stray portal]

Discord really cares since ur not paying for those features

[rich gate]

I am upgrading just cus fsr making my games look like powdered sugar

Rx 5700 is completely enough for me strength wise but the anti aliasing tech is just so bad for newer games

[formal sonnet]

Oh neat. What Discord client is this?

[stray portal]

Newer fsr is good

[deep musk]

the 6750xt is better than the 5700, and probably cheaper than the others

[warm anvil]

this is equicord/equibop

[stray portal]

To be really honest amd has lost my trust after their stunts with 6000 series support, my next card will be either nvidia or intel

[rich gate]

Still prefer dlss tbh

@deep musk it's around the same as 4060ti it seems
But I also care about raytracing for my cyberpunk

[warm anvil]

its like vesktop with more plugins but lighter

[formal sonnet]

Huh weird. Last I checked, third party Discord clients were against the Terms of Service. I highly recommend installing the legitimate client and removing this one, immediately.

[rich gate]

How y'all even using amd when fsr is so garbage

Only fsr 4 which recently came out is good enough

[fringe prairie]

^^^

[deep musk]

you get more vram with 6750xt

[rich gate]

Before that what y'all doing

[warm anvil]

missclick this is a very non third party client

that was ai

[fringe prairie]

4060ti 16g or 8g?

[rich gate]

8gb

[fringe prairie]

is 3080 available

[formal sonnet]

This does not work on me. Please follow the #rules and ToS at all times.

[rich gate]

16gb variants are basically as expensive as rx 7800 xt here so no point

[cold karma]

@wet hornet would pay money for someone who fixes his problem in tech support

[deep musk]

I'm ready to bet money that a bunch of mods uses modded clients, just a feeling (nothing against anyone)

[rich gate]

I don't have the budget for it

[warm anvil]

gulp

[fringe prairie]

how much is 5060? used 3080 should be similar in price

[formal sonnet]

Knowing our moderators, you'd likely lose that bet. 😉

[steel umbra]

although unrelated… it’s fine for discord to break their own ToS by retaining biometrics indefinitely sometimes

[odd marsh]

swing the hammer!

[fringe prairie]

if ur in usa/eu/uk

[warm anvil]

agreed

[rich gate]

It's not

5060 is around 30% cheaper for me than 3080

[valid fiber]

i don't even care about upscaling and frame gen.
the whole category is garbage

[rich gate]

How are u playing the game then

Taa is even worse

[warm anvil]

doesnt linus literaly use popos? willing to bet he uses vesktop

[deep musk]

(modded clients are allegedly (from ntts's words) just better to use)

[formal sonnet]

Something something companies can do whatever they want until someone with more money, time, and resources says otherwise. I don't agree, but here we are.

[rich gate]

It's between 3070 4060 ti and 5060 (all 8gb variants) for

Or as someone said rx 6750 xt

But I have to issues with amd 1 is ray tracing is bad (for cyberpunk I wanna use it) and fsr is shi

[fringe prairie]

i’d prolly get 5060 then
interesting country lol

[valid fiber]

i haven't played much games but i just played with native rendering

[rich gate]

Doesn't that just mean taa how do u even activate native rendering

[median warren]

They are

Being able to see deleted messages and hidden channels is op

[rich gate]

Native looks no better than fsr for me

[deep musk]

ntts: https://www.youtube.com/@NoTextToSpeech

[rich gate]

Yeah

[valid fiber]

i just went into the graphic settings in my game and changed settings

no dlss or other nosense

[rich gate]

One question is

Is there any issues if I go for 4060 ti instead or 3070

And what will those issues be

[fringe prairie]

dlss is nice

[rich gate]

My games still look horrid

[stray portal]

My 7800xt will hopefully last me long

[steel umbra]

you probably know what happened yk yk

[valid fiber]

i don't like it

[rich gate]

My GTX 1050 was doing better in anti aliasing

[fringe prairie]

very similar or better image quality and you get higher frame rates

[odd marsh]

DLSS my 🐐

[rich gate]

Than any of amds upscaling

[stray portal]

I will wait until a 60 card outperforms my 7800xt, and then only CONSIDER an upgrade

[odd marsh]

retains 4K image quality, and gets 1440p FPS essentially

when choosing the right settings

[fringe prairie]

it’s genuinely incredible tech

[rich gate]

Instead of 5060 basically

[odd marsh]

agreed, most people that seem to dislike it tend to be playing at 1080p or smth

[iron glen]

Wuzzat do

[sharp ivy]

Remember, I built a Core 2 Duo + 9800GTX system, Own a 2003 Pentium 4 Sony Vaio, a 2006 Pentium D Vaio and a 2006 Imac

[rigid fjord]

that just comes down to the filament you use, the infill settings and the printer

[sharp ivy]

2005 is kinda my sweet spot

[iron glen]

Wsp rauko, hows it hanging

[odd marsh]

DLSS is the NVIDIA upscaling technology

[sharp ivy]

old enough be cool, new enough that I can still browse the web and sometimes watch videos

[steel umbra]

Deception Lies Smuggle Samples

[deep musk]

ohhh oki I was asking cause I got a fatal1ty an9 x32 mobo with 2 sticks of 2gb of ddr2 and an athlon 64 x2

[sharp ivy]

total 4gb RAM?

[deep musk]

yep

[iron glen]

Mmm
So what do i use it for? Smoother picture?

[deep musk]

800mhz

[rigid fjord]

well, eating a chicken finger sandwich and breathing still

[sharp ivy]

oh nice, install mint XFCE and a decent gpu (anything GT 210 or higher is good) and you'll be able to watch youtube and use discord without issue

[iron glen]

Thats good

[deep musk]

(no idea what to og gpu was, it came with a 650 ti 2gb (sadge, since the og system probably had an sli setup since it had a 2009 750watts psu))

[plush wren]

Cuz most people just play comp games

[odd marsh]

it's a technology that helps boost framerates by rendering your games at a lower resolution, and then using machine learning to upscale the game to your native res

[sharp ivy]

oh yes I remember that

[jaunty apex]

Ive got this PSU, GTX 1660 and 2400G pull 120w on it max, think I can safely throw my RX6700 into it?
Fans loud as shit

[steel umbra]

there is dlss framegen and dlss upscaling, framegen uses algorithms to guess what picture will be between two frames, upscaling downscales a frames and upscales them with algorithms giving you more flames per second

[rigid fjord]

because raw performance >

[iron glen]

Alr so in a nutshell its a built in lossless scaling?

[deep musk]

yes, I wish they were still in the system

[distant frigate]

Fiber finally reaching parity with cable by 2030 maybe

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-13597132752790194338

[steel umbra]

i’ll go either used nvidia or brand new intel

[sharp ivy]

sad but good that you have something decent like a 650ti

[steel umbra]

amd does certain calculations on their gpus for 10-20% cheaper than nvidia

[rigid fjord]

you'd want a decent 650w tbh

[deep musk]

(yeah, the fan blades were broken off tho qwq, gotts find an evga replaceent fan)

[iron glen]

I don't see the point in frame gens, never have

[distant frigate]

lol 50G PON insane

[jaunty apex]

Just broke and my 850w I suspect is dying

[deep musk]

that shit will kill it self

[odd marsh]

i guess kinda? but it's a way better trained model that's propietary to NVIDIA gpu

[sharp ivy]

I see, you can have the EVGA 960 cooler off the 960 that caught fire

[jaunty apex]

Its 7 years old now

[steel umbra]

well it’s the only thing nvidia will give to gamers nowadays

[jaunty apex]

God I feel old smfh

[deep musk]

ohhhh nicey, no idea if the fans are compatible tho

[rigid fjord]

save up and grab an asrock pro 850w for $65

[jaunty apex]

my life is going so sloooow

[deep musk]

it's a 60mm one

[iron glen]

I meant the 3rd party ones i guess you can call them, like lossless scaling

[steel umbra]

lossless is overrated imo

[sharp ivy]

ah, I think the 960 is a 90mm

[deep musk]

lucky

[stray portal]

Im gonna purposefully install onedrive 🙁

[steel umbra]

it just looks lame in comparison to fsr and xess, although it has gotten better lately

[deep musk]

[rigid fjord]

[jaunty apex]

I have wanted to buy my own chair to be more comfortable at my desk for the same amount of time ive had that psu

[iron glen]

A multi million dollar company will probably have more resources than i guess a group of guys, idk who made lossless scaling

[sharp ivy]

I think the 960 exploding hurt the power man

power man makes bad noise now

🙁

[iron glen]

Idk i feel like its a waste of money

[stray portal]

The indians over at microsoft support tried to pressure me into subscribing to microsoft 365 with subtle ahh hints, i said i was interesged in 365 basic and they kept saying stuff like "(no desktop apps included)"

[sharp ivy]

I just run my games at native res

[stray portal]

I despise subscriptions.. only ones i have are for netflix

[deep musk]

that multi million dollar company came out with dlss5, not sure it's that much better

[gaunt spade]

thats the worst one

[deep musk]

awwww, nuuuu

[jaunty apex]

Multi what now?

[stray portal]

MULTI TRILLION

[jaunty apex]

You mean trillion right

[steel umbra]

nooo you made me remember their presentation

[deep musk]

even worse

[stray portal]

Nvidia has more money than entire countries

[iron glen]

Oh they got bigger

[gaunt spade]

brother said multimilion

[sharp ivy]

still works but goes eeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE

[formal sonnet]

Sounds like they don't understand that not everyone needs the desktop apps? 😞

[deep musk]

qwq

[steel umbra]

i thought more than 30 countries

[fringe prairie]

apart from the faces it actually looks nice

[stray portal]

Hey well its a useful one, i like my movies, also netflix has lots of local movies and shows

[gaunt spade]

nvidia 150x richer than my country

[gaunt spade]

🏴‍☠️

[fringe prairie]

and anyways, nvidia will has time to fix things. not like what we saw initially is going to be what it looks like when it gets released

[steel umbra]

you know grenada, saint vincent and grenades? forgot, nauru, micronesia, tuvalu, fiji, turks and caicos islands

[deep musk]

not a good thing, that's like if old painters in the knights era (forgor the english word) painted kings and queens with the wrong faces (unusual comparaison but still)

[gaunt spade]

steam subscription when

[median warren]

Why do you want that

[stray portal]

Like what even am i gonna sail for oh no time to try find every episode of my favorite show in good quality, i hope they dont have viruses oh no my entire computer is gone

[fringe prairie]

hm? game devs have complete control over the artistic style of dlss5

[median warren]

I've never heard of someone asking for more subscriptions

[iron glen]

Never hopefully

[jaunty apex]

Microsoft literally has cloud gaming in a browser, we dont need steam to have one

[median warren]

Are you okay

[gaunt spade]

valve would do it the right way

[deep musk]

[fringe prairie]

again it’s an early technical preview

[jaunty apex]

Its not that bad ngl. Least when I tried it like 3 years ago in beta

[fringe prairie]

you’re acting like it’s nvidia is launching this today or has launched this

[steel umbra]

100ms is doable

[gaunt spade]

no

[stray portal]

From what I know xbox gamer pass is good for the money but i still hate it

[steel umbra]

yes

[stray portal]

I want to be able to play whatever i want whenever i want

Game pass would force me to play it now or its gonna dissapear

[gaunt spade]

handheld console then

[iron glen]

Didnt xbox want to go digital?

[fringe prairie]

that’s sony ngl

well, both

[iron glen]

I remember hearing that xbox had plans to stop making consoles and just sell the gamepass or smth

[fringe prairie]

forgot an all digital series x exists

[steel umbra]

guys what if meta buys sony (theoretically)

[gaunt spade]

🤖

[iron glen]

Didnt even know it exists

[fringe prairie]

well they just announced project helix so

[iron glen]

Then it would be ass probably

[iron glen]

Idk what that is

[stray portal]

These companies dont realise if theyre doing all digital they will loose out on customers, old gen players have discs, if you cant play them on the new console then you might as well get from other brand

[fringe prairie]

Meta is the only tech company i outright hate for so many reasons

[iron glen]

So a worse steam machine?

[steel umbra]

top 10 most ethical

[gaunt spade]

stronger

[iron glen]

Oh

[gaunt spade]

even for singleplayer games

[steel umbra]

yes :(

[stray portal]

Well it would be better because it would run xbox os which will run almost all windows games

[median warren]

It's bareable but in a competitive shooter you will genuinely lose the game because of the delay

[iron glen]

This space is becoming very confusing

[steel umbra]

[odd marsh]

that too

[boreal vine]

either or

[gaunt spade]

what if you have no lawn

[deep musk]

so tractors are also for "fatties"? (these two are doing the same task)

[odd marsh]

nobody gets a tractor for a home garden

[deep musk]

yeah, when your garden is big enough

[boreal vine]

you're insufferable and dumb, does a fucking tractor equate to a ride on mower

[gaunt spade]

grow a garden referance

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/think-mark-invincible-omniman-gif-21416554

[deep musk]

it's the same principle, it facilitate a task (or multiple ones)

[boreal vine]

the public school system has failed you, it's joever

[boreal vine]

one only has one purpose, cut grass, in an area, while a tractor can be used for almost anything you can imagine that you would need in a FARM

[iron glen]

Kind of a bad example for a tractor
Also that left picture is not compareable to a push mower

[deep musk]

you know, I'm not an american

[boreal vine]

yeah we can tell

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[odd marsh]

ok then yes, that would then require better equipment, but people get riding mowers to mow their lawn when it would take maybe 30 minutes to do it with a push mower is a very different thing

[deep musk]

woups, meant not an american

[sleek ibex]

[deep musk]

but people don't get ride on mowers for such small lawns, I don't know in which fucked up world you live but that's an extremely dumb thing to do

[odd marsh]

I know they do, because I live in an area where it happens

[iron glen]

Thank heavens atleast someone is thinking about the carbon emissions

[deep musk]

well, that's the dumbest thing I heard today

[iron glen]

How so

[deep musk]

electric ones are quite popular here, and with hydro it's quite good

[gaunt spade]

@odd sparrow

[deep musk]

using a ride-on mower for something that would take less than 30 mins pushing a mower is the dumbest thing I heard today

[odd sparrow]

That it?

[gaunt spade]

🤖

[iron glen]

Oh i thought akn living somewhere was the dumbest thing

[deep musk]

no

[iron glen]

Ye my bad

[odd marsh]

it's a very normal thing in the US

[odd sparrow]

What isnt

[frigid blade]

getting ride mowers for small lawns?

[odd marsh]

but my original point was agreeing with you, I also dont understand why people do it, but I won't ever stop them from doing it

[odd marsh]

yeah

[frigid blade]

its not common where i am

[odd marsh]

it's not like super common, but it's a thing that def happens you know

[frigid blade]

that being said, i dont think people have that kinda money from where im from lol

[deep musk]

it is here but only for huge lawns (people usually get the mini tractor variants)

[frigid blade]

we have a ride mower now but its because it came with the house

old owner left it for us

i woudnt use a push mower for the yard we have now it would take at least like 2 hours

we dont even collect the cut grass, we just let it sit

it "disappears" pretty fast

[upbeat dune]

^thats recommended for most grass types

[gaunt spade]

just let the bush grow

[bronze summit]

They call me the bushwhacker

[limpid ivy]

Yea whatever floats their boat. Lol my grandpa has the old school push kind, but we don't use it anymore after getting rid of our lawn

[iron glen]

No they don't

[gaunt spade]

who are they

[limpid ivy]

For a while it had nothing on it except potted plants and all until the city said we had to cover it rocks or something lol

[iron glen]

How small is small

[frigid blade]

[iron glen]

Can you put that into units?

[deep musk]

hehe "69" funey

[gaunt spade]

big

[iron glen]

Looks like not that much but Im not good at estimating

[frigid blade]

6,128 sq ft

[iron glen]

Hot damn

Thats not that much

Luckily i rarely have to mow my lawn

[frigid blade]

now subtract the amount the house covers, and garage

[iron glen]

Idk how much that is

But it doesnt look like.much

[gaunt spade]

you should

[frigid blade]

yah but you can eyeball it

probably 2k sq ft

[iron glen]

Bout the length of my thumb

[gaunt spade]

is this a driveway to the garage

so much wasted land for just a driveway

[iron glen]

Thats like ¼ of the property

[gaunt spade]

yea bad

[iron glen]

Like 65ft (20m) from the end of my driveway to my garage

[frigid blade]

heres another one

[gaunt spade]

rich

[frigid blade]

like theres a lot of these smaller houses scattered around

but then theres pockets of bigger ones

this isnt near me tho, im not doxxing myself

[gaunt spade]

i know where you live

[frigid blade]

i just know the area

[iron glen]

Is america just one big driveway

[gaunt spade]

how close is the nearest store

[frigid blade]

from the photos i sent? its walkable a few minutes

[south arrow]

After the 40s we where like neat from the Germans and basically ya

[gaunt spade]

so a walkable area

[deep musk]

try another port on your gpu

[frigid blade]

the whole area is next to a long strip of stores

[sleek ibex]

Those are very common in North American countries, so yes

[frigid blade]

I have a feeling the reason is just because we can, the countries in america are huge relative to europe

[south arrow]

Helps move things in times of need

[iron glen]

If i ever visit im going to expect everyone to have some unique insane driveway

[deep musk]

dead port, only reason I can think of

[iron glen]

Wrong reply

[gaunt spade]

bruh 1 image limit so ahh

[south arrow]

Roads are a never ending trade here

[frigid blade]

our new driveway fits 9 cars lol

and the garage 3

[sleek ibex]

Ours only does one

[gaunt spade]

which 9070xt should i get black one a bit more expensive

[frigid blade]

our old one was very similar to the first photo i sent, basically the same exact size lot and house but a different area

[deep musk]

how many cars go you have?

[south arrow]

The one your heart desires

[frigid blade]

4, 1 is a work van, then my dads work pickup, my moms car, and my shitbox

[deep musk]

ourple

[iron glen]

I live in the middle of nowhere and my neighbor had his 80th birthday recently, their driveway can fit like 2 cars so when their front lawn was full the guests parked on ours :)

[gaunt spade]

that one is the old design

[deep musk]

oh oki, not that bad

[gaunt spade]

still looks good

[deep musk]

ourple so better

[sleek ibex]

And for driveway four (half of that blocks the sidewalk though)

[frigid blade]

yah we're not like rich rich, my family just saved up money since they moved to the US and finally bought a new place now after 20 years lol

the driveway size was kinda forced

[gaunt spade]

this would look goated in a case tho

[sleek ibex]

You wouldn't have happened to owned a 94 Dodge Caravan? Literally every low income and immigrant family (us included) had these shit boxes at one point

[frigid blade]

Nah it’s an 07 Mazda 3

Got it for $3

[sleek ibex]

Ah

[frigid blade]

Its in horrible condition though

But I keep buying new parts for it, I don’t want it to die

[sleek ibex]

For us a 1993 Dodge Shadow and a 1994 Dodge Caravan when we were fresh off the boat

[south arrow]

Meanwhile im in that same shitbox just newer xD now with working ac in the back

[frigid blade]

My mom got a 1997 ford escort when she first moved her

[sleek ibex]

[south arrow]

If it carrys the family tiss all that matters

A to B

[frigid blade]

Dealer

[sleek ibex]

Oh no country wise

[frigid blade]

Poland

Both my parents immigrated from Poland

[sleek ibex]

Syria for us. Though I was originally born in Iraq

[tired bear]

boberland

[frigid blade]

This was when Polish people still did that, these days iirc more Polish are moving back to Poland than to other countries

Probably because of the economic boom it’s been have the last few years

[frigid blade]

Why’d they move? My parents said it’s just because everyone else was doing it

[sleek ibex]

Political persecution

[frigid blade]

I didn’t want to assume anything, but I kinda had an idea

My neighbors were Christian Syrians

I believe that’s why they moved here

[gaunt spade]

You guys seen the Polish stream that raised $70M USD for cancer?

[sleek ibex]

Yep there were other reasons but political and sectarian reasons were the main ones

[frigid blade]

They streamed for over a week straight, hit 250M PLN

[drowsy remnant]

such a huge W

[gaunt spade]

ye

[frigid blade]

Their original goal was only like 500K PLN which is like $100K USD

Blew straight through it, it became a national thing in Poland and then huge creators and famous people started spreading it
