I can play rdr on my s25 ultra and enjoy it so much
thanks a ton mate
Yet roblox still has problems sometimes 😪
Give me a real controller and emulation any day of the week over mo99% of mobile games
You can emulate on phones too
That is what I was talking about LOL
I own a Gamesir G8+ Telescopic controller that I use on my phone/tablet as well as my Switch 1/2
switch 2
what do you play
Pokopia so far is my main game
yo i am trying to download ollama but by default its using the C drive cant i make it use another drive
oh you want the whole app on another drive
why though?
Does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader for a revvl 5? Tried it and got stuck on the unlock status of 16777216
i,ve got 5 gigs on my cdrive
Well, idk about moving the whole app
Already been looking through that but been stuck on a handshake error with mtk client
Havent been sure if its a issue with the phone, my laptop, or another issue
this is a very general channel and server. thats a very specific device so you're better off in a place that might have more people trying to do specifically what you're doing
XDA is that place
looks like there is an XDA discord too
sometimes genuinely surprises me that people come here and ask questions like its google lol (not saying this is what happened in this case, but it very much reminds me of it)
Yeah XDA would be a MUCH BETTER place for mobile tech
it happens all the time
Thats why we have @plain cypress
Who is Google
how is google
i still remember the google number before google the company although i know that was the inspiration...and the google plex
which i think is google ^ google?
there is a reason google's network hierarchy shows e-100.net
I bought a refurbished one that turned out to be a store model , I had no luck factory resetting it but I did guess the password. So I just returned it
does anyone know why mouse scrolls up when i sometimes scroll down even after i took apart my mouse and cleaned all around the scrollwheel
sigh, apparently i'm backup for a LOT of big accounts Friday on a day that's normally slow :#
and yet i got fussed at for not taking enough leave myself so i'm next heh
Oh FUCK OFF is all I have to say https://www.destructoid.com/gta6-price-up-in-air-ceo-most-spectacular-entertainment-earth-history/
lol topken. i support them too, but i have no knowledge of gta6 scheduling
take2 is one of the most attacked entities on planet earth
always wondered why them out of all other businesses, industries, etc. people have that love/hate gta i guess
Well, at least it's gta and not slop from ubisoft or activision
but i assume they'll follow the $100 pricing as well when or if valve does it
Hey if you wait a year or two it might go into 50% sale so... Still $50 😂
Honestly they should just save rainbow six siege
I hope someone that unironically says "if you're poor just say that" has a massive PSU blowout destroying everything in their PC when people talk about the best bang for buck parts (ex: 9070 XT vs 5070 Ti)
pc part fanboys has the most smoothest smooth brains ever.
Most people would probably prefer more destructuon than pointlessly nerfing guns and abilities
they're so good at ragebaiting too cause you know they're blindly sucking up marketing bullshit and they're being 100% serious when regurgitating it while being so ill informed on pc hardware omlll
what
Larp
Most of them aren't this
"ok now turn on raytracing" "now turn on frame gen and see the difference 😉 " it's killing me man
I love ray tracing, and frame gen on my 6900xt isnt bad i wonder how good it is on a 5070ti that i was looking at
6900xt can fg?
ah oh well only modern titles have fsr 4 anyways
Optiscaler is saving amd no reason why older cards cant use it
Who cares if the performsnce is slightly less, its a huge visual improvement
So, I just realized this morning that, COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONALLY, AMD caused me to internalize a bit of misinformation relating to how long LGA sockets have been in use, 😆
I thought they were relatively new
Due to seeing videos about stuff like fixing bent pins on CPUs
Or just the shear market dominance of AMD these days
is airpods way too overpriced, i wanna buy some

Are you already caught in the apple walled garden of an eco system?
bruh i just want rly good headphones
i currently have an xbox wireless headset which is sooo good but like when im out i dont wanna bring that with me
Well, the apple airport may or may not work on android, but will work on an apple product
AirPods aren’t good
Auto correct, how are you this bad...
I use samsung for earbuds and sony for headphones
I dont use em, so can't comment on THAT
theyre kinda mid for the price
I just have a generic pair of ear buds, lol
I have AirPods and they are shit
Clapped to the ground type of shit
yeahhh i wont get that then
As with MOST apple products then, over priced, over hyped, and under powered
With VERY niche uses
They are good~ish but not for the price
ooooh, what about sony? that a good oneee?
I love my xm5
My recommendation, since I can't really name any i would call good, is to search on Amazon, sort by 4+stars and look at the reviews for the pros and cons, I'd say something with 1000+ reviews and atleast 4.7 stars, and 85% at 5 stars with less than 10% 1 star reviews would be a good product
Just go in #audio-tech
Basically, the more reviews, with a higher ratio of 5 star reviews, lol
i like how open ai doesnt get annoyed or sigh at you after a HUGE code change wasn't actually exactly what you wanted and you ask for 'a few quick tweaks' lol
You can get amazing wired earbuds for $30 now and really good ones for $10
Do they have pass through charging?
99% of the time, I need ear buds on my phone
No aux port...
I hate modern tech trends sometimes...
can somebody help me? my laptop stops charging as soon as i turn it on with my orginal charger
but it charges thru the type c port just fine
No clue, I just see tons of videos about audio nerds recommending and trying sub $50 earbuds
i just want it to sound as good as my xbox wireless headset thats literally all
Huh, neat
how quick are the replies on there that's the reason i tried asking here first?anyways thnx
Sadly, the size of tge drivers will have a not insignificant effect on the sound quality
oooh i see, i just care about hearing the instruments

Also IEMS for that price too, ones I have are pretty good for 25$.
https://a.co/d/0fLfDslf like moondrop
the pros are nice wireless options
you can get pro 3s for $199 with 2 years of applecare at costco rn
the guys managed to convince me to not get airpods, overpriced and ass
not ass at all what?
Wait, that’s actually not that bad
lol I jumped on the pro 2s when costco had them on sale
it’s great
i got my pro 2s for $150 tho so 🤷♂️
The AirPods 1 and 2 are ass (I have a pair of both)
the non pros? yeah
they’re crap
I was comparing the 3s and 2s together, at least from my perspective not much of a difference so 2s gonna be with me for a while.
Yeah, we weren’t talking about the pro before
Is your game still booting up? It looks like there MIGHT be a date/time bug with the release
what browser are yall usin
Looks like the fix is to roll the date back a day or 2
i might need to move from edge
The Airpod 1s still work?
Mines are basically dead at this point for how long they've been with me.
apple also doesn’t sell the 1 and 2s anymore lol
Yeah, they are lying around somewhere in my house, lent them to my little brother recently
they’re on like 4 or something
I need some ew openback earbuds my current ones have been having charging issues since day 1
Punish yourself and try to replace the batteries
I never tried the 3 nor 4 but I would assume they are as (proportionally) bad as the 1 and 2
I litterally have to fiddle with them in the case for them to even charge correctly also I am pretty sure the battery in the case is completely deead as well
Gotta do it before summer hits chop chop
I have a Cyberpower UPS here myself for my desktop setup
There's a place not too far that recycles the battery and replaces it for me so gonna stop by this week or next week.
Comes in handy for charging devices when the power goes out and allows me to shutdown my PC safely
Just use your car to charge 
https://www.apcguard.com/br1500ms2.asp got this one
started off with 1 and now I have 4 for other things around the house.
I had a UPS from like 2001 before this so yeah that needed to be replaces regardless since it didn't have the proper tech to handle modern hardware and the batteries in it were long gone
Convince your parents for a house power wall/battery
Dad says no atm
You could run your AC during peak hours!
My plan when I am allowed to do rennovations to the house though
Full network upgrade, new cameras, solar, etc.
All thanks to the Ubiquiti Fairy
Oh yeah you have to convince an Asian dad that's impossible

My parents are easy to convince, hey our 4 year old microwave screen is dying and I have a huge employee sale on LG appliances, then we got a $999 MSRP microwave
I saw jerryrigseverything's video on the anker solar thing soo that seems interesting
I stole one of those industrial ones from the office.
Why is it so expensive? It better give me a foot massage every time I use it
Air frying
just got to convince them it grants free money when it comes to the solar
Sucker has seen shit but a little cleaning and it is purring.
https://www.lg.com/us/cooking-appliances/lg-mhec1737d-over-the-range-microwave can cook a pizza in it
Right now my dad is concerned about the tile roof too, after fumigation we found some cracked tiles that needed to be replaced.
Not the typical tile you see, so it would require a whole redo.
Idk why my grandma choose the most expensive roof but she did back in 2002.
well this would ensure those get fixed but also, free money is free money
Amazing moment to talk about solar panels

No glue "fix"?
Give it time or not we'll see. I don't plan to stay long after I graduate so the house is up to them until it gets passed to me.
Works fine for me
Panda has enough money to pay for California rent 
Leaving his poor mama behind 
But you're an only child what will your parents do with an empty nest and no close sons or daughters to comfort them?!
Also CHP craking down on car exhaust and other various car laws so not my cup of tea for that soon to be small hobby of mines.
Make a seconf child (trust)
Never had a great relation with them, I don't hate them, just would rather move far away from them when I can afford it.
hmm ok
so just a heads up if something breaks in the future
🔥 
hmmm maybe i should try firefox again after 12 years
Are they also cracking down on the main cause of emissions big oil?
Have been
@limpid ivy i realized something about my main system that actually makes it worse than my workstation for some games
Ram
The type of ram or not enough
-side eyes my 96 gigs ddr5-
Yeah, should get another kit, it's CLEARLY not enough
Hello my original gangsters

those are some sexy dimms
32gb 4rx4 ecc rdimms (ddr4)
Can I use your ram as a 256gb SSD?
Beautiful, i need me some ddr4 ecc rdimms
I havent seen the max power draw of them yet, but at like 50-75% load it pulls 156W at peak
512gb RAM Disk okay?
Way better
Ddr4?
Man optane would be so useful rn
Ddr3 unfortunately
highest capacity ddr4 system i have is only 64gb
ngl, thats even more fucking crazy than 256gb ddr4
Also my jank asf cpu cooler mounting worked
the jank mounting i'm referring to for those that didn't see it
LGA 2011 narrow ILM coolers mounted onto LGA 2011 square ILMs, only one screw per heatsink + a ziptie each

i love server CPUs, they simply don't give af about their cooler
take 75w and spread it out across a football field sized die and you're chilling
@grizzled frost if i ever get my lenovo workstation back from my buddy, im gonna get like 24 32gb ddr3 dimms
the above image is also the 512gb ddr3 system i posted
I'm running 4x64 ddr3 1633 dimms per CPU
1dpc on one CPU, 2DPC on the other
since half the memory channels for that one cpu are dead
that system has been abused a bit
as long as you have case fans that will make beethoven go deaf (again)
I have a 24bay JBOD designed for use in a datacenter, i already have tinnitus when i'm in the room
I'm not all that sound sensetive. I sleep with anime battles playing on my phone.
I still refuse to fuck with enterprise hardware at home for this exact reason.
current noise level
yeah I don't have a room to dedicate to that
discord compression made that sound a lot quieter, IRL is about double the perceived volume from the video
the 24 2.5in SAS HDD's don't help when it comes to sound level
I swear YouTubers make it act like everyone is switching to Linux
When it's still like 4% of users

which probably wont happen 
According to sources close to MacRumors, Apple is abandoning the development of the next-generation Vision Pro headset after the product failed to capture significant market share. With sales of "only" 600,000 units, Apple has not seen this product line take off as its other products have. Launched ...
EAC is on linux. maybe fortnite will come to linux ||also probably wont happen since tim sweeney hates linux||
EAC?
easy anti cheat
easy anticheat
No,that won't happen
Hot take: I personally think Intel is WAY better for gaming AND productivity (Prove me wrong)
even as an intel owner, you are wrong
Did you already see KSA(Kitten Space Agency)?
Still in development but looking promising
productivity, sure it's better, gaming not really
Avx512 
I mean I think so maybe because just the price and overall like reliability (WE DONT SPEAK ABOUT 13TH-14TH
price is only good because ARL is selling terribly, they are about as reliable as current gen AMD cpus
12-14th gen is great but all depends
yea the graphic is pretty insane for a free game
looking forward to play it in the future
Reflects, im being baited.
I mean I still have a 4th Gen I7 and it works like a charm, looking forward to upgrade to a nice 12th Gen i5
I know,
I can't load the entire solar system, in one go, due to (V)ram
I used to run a 12600k no qualms
My sister needs to fix an expensive piano keyboard and I can't say for sure because she told my dad who told my mom who is telling me the problem but the cord the prongs that plug into the wall is corroded or something and the cord does not come out. I got a soldering iron how involved is it to slice some wires?
uh oh
i may need a better gpu then
More expansive then Intel CPUs btw
Less heat on Intel CPUs and it JUST came out
ARL mounting is at least a lot better than LGA 1700 and my 285K's multicore workloads on par or even beats AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X
eh they do about the same heat output under gaming loads, multicore loads not so much
?
can you send a picture I am not quite sure I understand
for gaming
nah
But on the flip side, intel is slowing down on just making new CPUs every time I think even IF Intel slowed on the gaming market, the laptop market is godly
for prod it depends. 270kp is great value
I mean I get like 240fps on a 4th gen cpu with a 2060 super
270KP is a great value chip, for both gaming and multi core, but if you wanted the best you would go AMD
in what valorant
I still recommend AMD to everyone
minecraft
As a 285K owner, I would recommend the 270K Plus over the 285K without a second thought
But you stated better for productivity and gaming not value
yeah 9950x3d and x3d2 still are the best for both
Mind you, I got mine before the 270 was even announced
Valorant, Apex and ofc CS:GO
I don't know what you mean by this
So bascially Intel CPU is better on laptops instead of AMD
yeah PTL is a great chip
i do hope bllc on nova lake is competitive
I just don't get what you mean by "slowing down"
No no apple is better on laptops
bruh, thats ARM we talking about x86
cook
i mean it doesn’t matter here does it
X86 on laptops 🤢
apple is best on laptops, followed by intel, then amd
ARM simply better for laptops
after having a macbook i dont think i can ever go to anything else laptop wise
Apple's M(X) based laptops are actually their best products 
As a 270K+ owner, 285 is a bigger number than 270. And using biggernumberbetter philosophy, I would recommend the 285k
If the Neo didn't now exist, I would never have considered a Mac Laptop
I choose to believe that products such as lunar lake and panther lake had their development [partially] influenced by M series silicon, and I thank apple for pushing PC ecosystem to start focusing on better mobile efficiency
its just native support, its getting higher sure but yk not fully mainstream
100%
WCL is another one influenced by apple
thank god apple released the neo
Didn't I mention that it's a lot easier to cool, too?
Wct? Where's the L for lake 😭
typo 
typo
amd though i dunno what the fuck they’re doing
😒
gorgon point is ass
Not really, again my sister told my dad who told my mom who asked me if I could fix it so I'm not even 100% sure the problem and I can't just get a photo but I think this plug (not a photo of the plug on the piano) needs replacing but the cord does not come out.
Winning in desktop gaming
actually at least somewhat hot take
snapdragon > intel/amd (for most laptops)
if the app support was as good sure
runs all the shit i need it to just fine
I'm not saying that AMD doesn't care about mobile
But I will way they are plenty busy making tons of money with epyc and Radeon instinct. Plus dominating desktop CPU gaming performance and diy market share. Mobile may be a lower priority for them at this time
*if you use your laptop like a chromebook
Didn't snapdragon x1 just not have GPU drivers
I believe X2 they figured out how to ship a driver so I assume X2 is generally safe to buy
i do a lot more on my snapdragon laptop than a chromebook will let me
I recall there being a lot of x1 pain points when it was making the review cycles
yup, there were
I'm probably going x86 for my next laptop purchase in a couple years
Or a used 15 MBA with decent ram/SSD upgrades
Although 60hz is such pain
I don't even game on a laptop I just like animations at 120hz
i’m just gonna get a mac ngl
i liked it when i tried it out. i’ll probably pick up a 13
and my X1 minipc (X1E-00-1DE) is a damn fast machine too, with 32GB of RAM
@lethal bay he's gonna get ya
My internet went down esrly this morning so i'm trying to use mobile Hotspot on my phone to connect to both my PC and my Roku TV.. TV is connected and working fine.. PC has no internet... any solutions?

why must you summon me to this god forsaken place
Hot Take, RT needs a processing revolution to be viable, a 75% reduction in FPS is not worth it, because people want to play on high FPS and nice settings, without latency and excessive DLSS flickering.
i know my laptop is essentialy RDP client with office package on it
My shoes are wet and sticky
i actually thought 5 year in, RT Would be good, but it's still staggeringly inefficient
It’s already happened your gpu is just old as shit
yea, those can ezpz be replaced by whatever
5080
weak
😄
cold take
fair
I have no issues with running RT and I didn’t on my 7900XTX either
but like Nvidia it’s even easier now
i just generally dont run RT
i would rather play rasterization, 4k, no FG, and either quality or DLAA. assuming they make rast actually good, not neglect it because they can just force people into RT.
same
Damn I didn’t realize that NVIDIA priced the 5090s at $2k but the other manufacturers are selling for $3.6k, so dumb
I don't think I've run RT at all yet
card can do it, i just, dont
i preffer higher fps than little better lighting
I'm not counting 3dmark here
It really depends for me. On the type of game and what scenario
Cause I've run the 3dmark rt tests on a technicality
same
It also depends on your expectations
People wanna run the latest AAA games at like 240fps and it’s just like lol
Ditto
RT is 100% not a 75% reduction in FPS
Path Tracing might be, but not ray tracing
yeah it’s like 30% on average, and even less the newer gpu you have lol
I DO want that, also 4k. and that is why i wont enable RT and ruin my pristine game with DLSS performance.
This gets I to what "RT" is, and each thing has some very *very" different performance impacts
my goal is 120fps 4k native, also maxed settings, forever. until games are good enough that i can focus on 240fps or 8k or something.
RT shadows vs RTGI vs path tracing
wants 4K240hz
refuses to use DLSS Performance or FG
pick a struggle bruh
RT reflections (not exactly the same as RTGI)
remember when we could only run crash bandicoon in 480p 24hz? now we can run that game in 8k 100000 hz
times change, eventually we will look back and think ''4k? wtf was wrong with these cavedwellers''.
Hardware literally does not exist currently for this expectation
''my goal''
''until games are good enough''.
not talking about today fren.
You’re going to be adjusting your expectations and goals indefinitely for shit that doesn’t exist lmao
Complaining about RT performance hits while refusing to use features you paid for to make it a better experience is peak TC1 shit and why I don’t talk in this channel lmfao
@plain cypress see what you did, you caused this.
DLSS 4.5 is entirely unnoticeable in the vast majority of scenarios
as for now, i think it's just become worthwhile for casuals to upgrade your visual experience and go OLED 1440p, in a few years OLED 4k, eventually 2880p or 4160p, maybe in 10+ years.
i rarely play games, but most of what i do play is old and i have no issue running it at 4K240 without any upscaling or framegen
and will never exist, new games are usually made to be able to utilize any consumer GPU to its fullest
so new games will always push new hardware to the limit
Just wait for DLYASS 5
truth is, there isn’t really any point beyond 4k at 27in, or 5k at 32in
untrue
exception not the rule
both are functionally at the limit of what the human eye can see at a reasonably viewing distance
nop
yeah because I use DLAA 
i was specifically referring to DLSS FG and Upscaling
I just need someone to make an 8K OLED 42” TV already
Hate to break it to you, but it is right at the limit of what the human eye can discern
we only have so many cones per degree
TBF, it's a mix of both doing more, and not optimizing as much
your thought process isn't wrong, but youre drawning the line in the sand too early
a person with average vision can appreciate 5K, 6K, and yes even 8K on a desktop monitor even at arms' length viewing distance
Just doing my job
you also cannot only look at PPD on its own when determining fidelity
Retina resolution ❤️
jacking up the PPD by viewing a 24" 720p TV from across the room doesn't make it a high fidelity experience
base resolution and PPD both matter
I don't see a personal need to go beyond retina 2x
similar logic is used by people who claim we "can't discern beyond 25fps". while I think there is a limit, I don't blindly believe any specific numbers people throw around, because that might be as stupid as the 25fps claim
eventually games will look good enough that you can go medium settings without losing much fidelity that is visible to the naked eye, kinda like 300ppi is hard to spot going from 250ppi.
i don't think 4k will be enough to not be able to see pixel-level details, not on PC, because we sit so close, we might need more then 4k, even if the monitor is just 27''.
Me just want pretty pictures
right now, games are not pretty enough to ONLY focus on things like raytracing.
some newer games look horrible at lower quality settings though. reminds me of the comparison between borderlands 4 and 3. where they adjusted settings to get the same FPS on both on the same hardware, but 4 looked far worse
well, assuming RT stays this taxing on the system
pixels per decimeter
interesting
My personal preference for pixel density, with 2026 display technologies and the current state of my eyes, does not go beyond what retina 2x would be
I guess if we could just say "hm yes here's a 12k 500hz 2000nit 32" display", then fuck it yeah that would be better
But my wish list is to hit retina then put more effort into better refresh/brightness/contrast/response time etc
same im happy to park at 5K/6K and pump up refresh rate instead
Yeah PC land has so few 5k+ (16:9/16:10) options
human eye can differentiate 9.7 pixels per linear degree, a 4k 27in monitor at 36in viewing distance is 6.8 pixels per linear degree
only reason I want 5k over 4k is to get 1440p-scaled UI with 200% scale
@grizzled frost here's a study on this topic from 2025: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-64679-2
TLDR the average person can discern around 95PPD, but PPD is not the only relevant factor because like I said; viewing a 24" 720p TV from across the room is not high fidelity
I feel like fractional scaling isn't that bad these days, seems like it works decently everywhere outside macos
Yeah i saw the study, did a bit of math to get the ppd of a 4k 27in monitor
ive been running 4K with 150% scaling for several years at this point with minimal complications
square the linear degree measurements to get ppd
i only occasionally run into an old installer that's blurry, and i only look at those for a minute so it's fine
As steve jobs god intended
I've been running 4k 150% since 2022 on Linux of all places and haven't had an issue as long as I can remember
since PPD refers to pixels per a 3 dimension degree
i actually encounter more problems when running 4K 200% than i do with 4K 150%
4k 200% so damn big, 4k 150% perfect
performance-wise? because in terms of scaling there shouldn't be any issues
200% is like TV scale
you get some weird UI scaling quirks at 200%
Odd
blurry UI and the like
no just visual problems, one notable example is that Roblox becomes blurry if you have your scaling set above 150%, but you can fix this with a compatibility override
some apps just don’t scale correctly for whatever reason
I think I could survive with a 5k 16:10 240hz oled
Weird question, but on HP laptops, how common was it for the Power IC's to fail? (Asking from others with the experience with those HP's)
ive never encountered a program that worked fine with 200%, but didn't work with 150%, infact ive only encountered the opposite; more problems arise from using 200%
I mean you can get weird scaling quirks with anything but 100%, but I find it hard to believe that it is common for 150% scaling to work better than 200%
but ill put up with those problems to get better image quality whenever i finally upgrade to 5K
depends on your definition of "didn't work"
it's easier to scale 1 pixel into 2 than into 1.5
software developers perform multiplication correctly in order to make fractional scaling work challenge (medium difficulty)
you can preserve sharp edges perfectly with 200%
Well maybe you can but can roblox developers?!
how cheap would a new setup have to be, for oled fans to no longer reccomend getting a 1440p oled.
1500$?
1440p oled is down to like $330 new nowadays so youd have to be doing a scrapyard build
but i think a $200 4K 160Hz IPS monitor is a valid alternative
My qd OLED was $*390
i would prio 1440p oled over 4k anything else.
new? that's a damn steal.
mine was 500$, but i wanted the mirror glossy woled asus :]
what even is that.
an OLED panel that doesn't have a stupid subpixel layout
I lied it was $390 I just had to check my list :/
What should I do, pressed buttons and now my phones stuck here
found an image for you
It's all in Chinese 🥀
no clue chief
you’ve provided zero information about your scenario, and not even a clear enough image to try and see what is on the screen
that's at bootloader /debug mode
so without the white for brightness? does it matter that much? is it for more precice colors?
that would never be chiense unless it was a chinese specific phone i would think
modern day WOLED is good enough it doesn't need the W pixel to boost brightness anymore, allows for greater color volume
Been trying all day to get the bootloader unlocked and got stuck in thay menu
Take mandarin classes
encoding error can cause it to be in mandarin characters
though it’s not actually anything coherent in mandarin
It's just a tmobile revvl
i dont care that much about perfect colors, the infinite contrast and perfect blacks is the best part of OLED, the responsiveness is great too, and that's probably the main prio for FPS players.
I love HDR color volume so we need more improvements
it's for subpixel aliasing, used for smoother font rendering. subpixel aliasing is specifically designed to work with RGB stripe layout, and looks garbage on other layouts. which means with RGB stripe you get smooth text, with other layouts you either disable aliasing to get jagged text, or keep it enabled to get ugly fringing
any OLED worth buying should be atleast 99% of the DCI-P3 color space
depending on model, typically if you do a reset + down volume , etc youll get into this menu. it can help flash, reboot, etc outside the main os
16gb of ddr5 with better cpu or 32gb ddr4 with worse cpu?
idk of any OLED that doesn't do that tbh
my gen 3 woled has great text, i think the text clarity is an overrated problem.
depends
What cpus
also do you need more then 16gb of ram for what you use or not
How my cloth looks after pc mesh clean
text clarity was more an issue with QD OLED
my asus oled is better on text then my asus LCD.
if you want perfect text, just get 4k oled.
Front fans were so dusty
cause an app that requires 20gb isn’t gonna be happy running on 16gb, regardless of cpu
5700x vs 7500f
but a 12gb app doesn’t care in the slightest
QDOLED had the triangular subpixel layout
so a better cpu with 32gb ddr4, or a worse cpu with 16gb ddr5
nah it's an issue with both. text looks like shit on my WOLED 1440p monitor, compared to my 1440p IPS panels
eh? 7500f is worse?
Ryzen 5 7500f
it's an issue with both, but QD OLED had it way worse
ask AI about the monitor you might buy, maybe it has RGB stripe? gen 3 QD oled maybe.
No Intel as a option?
i could go that route tbhn
I bought 6 OLEDs last year, Im good on purchasing for now
idk if ddr5 is worth while
they’re actually almost identical
ddr4 cpu price are bonked, especially on the amd side.
you mean am4 cpu pricing?
ya
really depends on whether or not you care about the upgrade path on am5 or not
i mean i already has an am4 board with 3600
i5 12600kf is $160 new Asus B760M-AYW ddr4 is $99
i wants to upgrade but then any cpu on am4 are horrible value rn
when you compare to the 7500f the performance per dollar is gonna be bad on anything
5700x3d and 7500f are for gaming not the regular 5700x
the 7500f is an anomaly
i did the number i could upgrade to ddr5 platform with half the ram without any/much added money
i’m just basing off passmark, which says they’re within 2-3% of eachother
5700x3d are like fucking crazy priced now
still fine, expected price, my cheapest option is 450$.
eh 7500f is much better in single core performance
like big difference
what generation panel?
uh about 11% in single core according to passmark
or maybe i sell my am4 board and cpu and get intel 14thgen with ddr4
PG27AQDM monitor. but it doesn't really matter what "generation" as long as the subpixel layout is the same
im usually on 150% 😄 not because text clarity, just because i preffer it.
7500f would just be right below the 7600
4K WOLED 100% scaling
mine is AQDMGR, i assume it's still the RGHB
from the video it's basically better in all scenario
even heavily multithreded one
i was on the cusp of buying 4k oled, but then i thought it's still not completely mature, woled gray banding for example, and QD's purple hue.
so i wont buy ''the best'' yet. maybe when they fix these things though, then i can buy a ''forever display''.
banding isn't too bad of an issue imo, there are certain hues that have it, but for the most part I never run into issues
both on my C4 and my G5
i noticed it when i used dark mode, it's kinda ugly.
I'm waiting for ASUS PG27UCWM
I've got my tandem woled display and happy with, might upgrade whenever tandem oled comes to 42" C series
or when LG G series does 5K nits peak
i feel like brightness-OLED thing is a joke, you dont need OLED if you're in THAT bright of a room, then the experience is ruined anyway
Could go Intel with 32gb ddr4
during the day my living room is pretty bright (no direct lighting) but I still like having OLED
who ever has use for 5k nits peak.
Movies are mastered for 10K nit peak sometimes
Me for movies
i stream movies at 480p :]
is this a flex y/n
could never get me to go back to that
I've got movies with 70mbps bit rates, shit's peak
if it's a show i care about i will torrent it though.
So Rosewill... out of flippin nowhere... drops FOUR new server/NAS chassis for homelab and small business and actually makes them affordable?! What in in the holy?
︀︀
︀︀Most of my lab is already in the rack but I'm still extremely excited about all of these. GG @Rosewillinc
like AKOTSK!
I'm a big movie person so it's nice to have good rips of my movies
I rock an LG G5 + 7.1.4 surround system
I only sail movies that are Blu-ray rips
I think full ass 80GB remuxes are a little silly but I do have some of those
I just try and get the 4K blu-ray rip with as little interference as possible, so I get some big rips
What was the ridiculous MSRP of your Sammy surround sound
I think mine was 700?
Wasn't it like 999
nah I didn't pay that much luckily
I have a Sony Bravia A80J and a vizio soundbar+sub combo that does its best
7500f is fr the unbeatable goat and shall not be compared to anything cause its too goated
I bought it from Samsung with a EDU discount when it was on sale
Excuse me $1,999 ?!
full price is ludicrous no one should pay it, it's always like 50% off at Woot
Still so expensive
yeah, but compared to trying to do a 7.1.4 setup it's not crazy
what's the best monitor company? not panel manufacturers.
Asus? MSI?
I bet the 9.1.4 one isn't bad either
i just like having greater than 2 height channels
although it's not nearly as good
oh agreed, but for a renter in an apartment? The soundbar wins imo
it'll be exceptional for most people but not nearly as good as dedicated
the absolute nits don't matter, the relative contrast matters
saying some video is mastered for 10K nits is like saying some music is mastered for 80dB
cheaper, super easy to setup, no drilling or wires. Great for me in an apartment. In the future I'm doing dedicated for sure
wouln't personally pay 500
just like people like adjusting music volume to their taste, they like adjusting brightness to their environment and taste 
yes it's easier to prep and setup but wouldn't say cheaper
idk, higher peak brightness is just nice to have for small details, like tiny specular highlights, lights reflecting of metal or eyes, so I will take my higher peak brightness
naybe you could scrounge around for speakers and stuff, but I think trying to find a receiver with proper Atmos decoding and channel outputs would be hard
but yea if you use higher brightness, better peak nits helps a lot with HDR stuff
yeah I do a lot of HDR content consumption so my G5 is great
my point was just that for people who use lower brightness anyway, the lower brightness scaling kinda lowers the nits requirement to achieve the same desired contrast between different spots
yeah at lower brightnesses the absolute difference in nits is less for the same relative difference
you can probably get one used for $300
Theres an update you may want to snag out now
yeah, so I guess somewhat similar in price
bug fixing mainly
Think there is a scam prevention method that prevents you from posting multiple images in a single post
yep js grabbed it, ty
No problem figure to be safe then sorry lol
I was on the forum posting about the bug and it came while I was so yeah LOL
Nice timing on my part
There is a scam going around with 4 images so yeah
You know the one I am sure
mr beast!!!!1!
YUP that would be the stupid one
At least I am pretty sure its 4 images
After checking it would indeed be 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qjSGEOEaXo this is crazy, 3ms actually matters 😄

let’s maybe not post that?
i wonder if 1ms would matter, if the sample size was big enough.
Doubt you can even read them to begin with and I was posting just a compressed image so that people know what to keep an eye out for
Yeah Latency is a real deal breaker for many gamers
Which is why Frame Gen SUCKS since it adds latency
Game MIGHT look like it is running faster but in reality it isn't and just causing latency

MR. B is the only one I have seen personally
The posters in some places might also add a "bro" comment at the start too for the bot to say in order to pass as legit.
just want a advice of any good wired or wireless noise canceling mics? I have a decently loud sibling in my room and i have to force mute myself so no one else can hear. Any help?
noise cancelling is software based, not hardware based
RTX Voice works wonders for that I thought?
I've seen one for Trump, one for Taylor Swift, I think one for either Eminem or SnoopDog, maybe one for Miley Cirus or such.
I forgot rtx voice was a thing
Yeah RTX Voice was one good use of AI
“rtx [insert random word]” has like an 80% chance of existing
Apparently we had a similar thing for AMD too.
Rtx hair works
Rtx ai
It was just called AMD Noise Surpression Technology (NST).
E = mc^2 + AI + rtx
Yeah RTX VOice is an old tech at this point in time so it gets overlooked
i assume 3ms makes like a 0.5% difference
10 years of rtx and 8gb cards are still common
CPUS have been like 9 generations if not more
Yeah 8GB cards should have died 10 years ago
10-12 should be the bare minumun these days
Was it? I thought it was 30 series.
the 3050 is the best graphics card to hit mankind
technically at the last moment gtx 20 was renamed to rtx 20
Gt 1030>
2020 was RTX Voice
gt 710 better
geforce 7300.
So yeah not a decade old but what felt like a decade
I have like 3 or 4 gt 710’s lmao
Specifically the GDDR5 variant.
fairs, but the geforce 256 is the best graphics card for 2026
change my mind
so is there any software i can use that’ll help? i’m not really knowledgeable about this obv anything’ll help
Nvidia Broadcast is what you would be looking for if you have a Nvidia card @lavish ingot
Lmao I forgot about that
because it’s broadcast?
Guh
oh i thought this was common knowledge lol
Yeah seems they released it early as RTX Voice to help during the pandemic that happened
yeah
@stable dune
Bro failed public chat so came to tc1
XD
yeh
Sorta still do, but I don't recall if NST's ever been updated in so long.
what happen
Just an idiot lol
well, i guess this is what happens when you try to use a 1080ti on linux with new drivers that dont support the 1000 series
Whoa... Dang.
works fine on windows btw
LOL yeah there is an older driver for that series on linux
The distros that allow for nvidia gpus should ask you whichs eries you have or at the very least tell you which series the driver they are uysing is for or let you decide what driver to use and tell you during that
yeah well... i tried arch, bazzite, ubuntu, fedora and nobara
Recommended drivers are in the 550–570
yeah i saw that, i think i can do an arch install and manually install that driver
i see
for 10 series aka Pascal
So a marketing man over an engineer?
yeah its my friends pc, he bought it for like 223 usd and im trying to make it work
MIGHT need to boot linux without GPU support to start with
I remember there being an option that was needed on older live cds to get them working the first boot
I don't remmeber what it was
Had to use it a few times in the mid 2000s myself to get them working on certain pcs 2with certain gpus until I could get the drivers running
yeah that sounds about right, also sounds like too much work for me to do cause im lazy lmao
matters if 1 million dollars is at stake in a tourney 😄
also the best upgrade for this pc i think is a CPU, it has an i7-6700 rn and i can donate an AM4 motherboard
corsair 140mm fans failing, recommendation for 140mm fans?

There is just a joke that every 3 months a tech youtuber gets sponsored by another robot vacuum cleaner but my parents just finished the bathroom remodel and my dad uses so much baby powder...now that the bathroom is bigger, they want to get a robot vacuum. Unfortunately not a big do the house $700-1k one but still. On the lower side what do I get and how much do I spend?
me too, but not married to em i've gotten a few thermaltakes as well

So i have a question.
mom gave me a ipad from her business and for some reason its not letting me add anything. like the appstore is missing and everything
hard reset that thing
Probably still has the MDM profile
If they lock you out from resetting it, then RIP
Actually I think you can still reset it somehow
i did?
yeah says something about a mdm
i did reset it by erashing all content
He probably can't it probably needs a password he doesn't have.
dosnt ask me for a password whenever i turn it on
i can use it and serf the web but i cant add apps or even find the appstore
It won't then but maybe an admin or apple ID password to be reset fully anyways.
The App Store thing is the MDM profile stuff
It was setup as a company device and an IT person probably disabled that. Go to your mom and try and see of she has some way of admin on the iPad and can help with getting around this I don't think you yourself can just reset this and fix it.
?
how easy is it to "factory reset" an ios device?
i asked and she said she doesnt know? ive been looking for a way to factory reset it. but still adds the mdm
good choice
its a 9th gen if that helps
os is 17.4.1
Jailbreak community may have a way around this but I think its just a retired managed company device and because they didn't trust the users set it up for one purpose and that purpose only, now that its end of life to them they didn't bother to do what is required to give it back any usable life. Unless your mom can get in touch with any IT department that set this up you probably can't fix this. It either requires some remote software they used for monitoring it to change something and or an admin password and some settings changed on device both you do not have access to.
<@&750150305383186585>
Shame he didn't just join someone's account got hacked? Regardless hope mod bans him.
Don't you need itunes to do stuff with an ios device?
no itunes ether
in what manor?
Or am I completely out of touch on that?
Or maybe just been a sleeper account or he deleted the activity idk this is the only post he has made here.
oh wait if you have a managed device youll pretty much have to go to the business IT team and have them unregister
so theres no way to factory reset this thing? its been in her closet for like a year. i just want it to pick up drawing XD
if you have proof of purchase (in this case you were given it so hard to say if you wuold have anything) you could maybe go to an apple store and talk to the staff
He has an old company device that removed all the apple apps from it and is trying to reset it. Claims mom gave it to him after the company got rid of them. Reminds me of my old school iPad. But usually they have a policy that they need to be reset when decommissioned. Idk he is trying to get basic services onto it.
I don't have an ios device to say if you need itunes for that sort of thing or not honestly
there is nothing you can really do if all you have is the device
the management stuff is pretty baked on for a reason
Last time I needed itunes was back when I had an ipod shuffle back in the mid 2000s
They can't do anything unless certain laws get passed we should all be very weary of and fear happening. Right now the encryption on their devices (that I hope is not illegal) does not allow for them to get around the restrictions placed.
That said Apple could in iOS updates allow things to get changed but they won't because locking someone out of an old device on the used market makes less used floating around so more people buy new. Its why you gotta make sure its signed out of an apple account before you reset it and give to someone or it gonna ask for the password.
You can try putting it into recovery mode and shit like that, but I don’t think it works on modern devices
You need a computer to hook it up to
and I know itunes is needed for a number of things partaining to apple devices like this
my friend bought an apple watch from a surplus store and apple was able to remove the management
I use iTunes daily, but its in a Linux VM because I still use an iPod classic. Modded for flash storage, BT and extra battery life though.
the device management isn't the same as encryption
I have always had an android device since I started using smart phones so yeah
Watches are different but maybe things changed, I know if you have a device that is reset and asking for someone's apple ID password (if that is a thing still I haven't used apple in years) they can't help you.
I was restoring to my brothers old phone when I had a bad screen and I didn't want to pay the fix price and they said they couldn't help me, I had to have my brother reset the apple ID password for me.
i mean my mother is the business owner. she got a lot of ipads and this specific one has been in her closet for the better part of a year.
didnt have an apple account on it
thats still different from enterprise/school device management profiles
Yeah but the way the key is stored for the password for getting out of that. Or idk maybe I don't know what I'm talking about again I haven't used apple in years.
lol
the profiles are something apple allows and does have more control over, imagine if someone IT lost a password and all the business or school devices became bricks
It doesn't have to, it was setup with enterprise management. If your mom is the business owner, who setup the devices? Could you or she not go to them to get it reset?
That's why they have ways to rest those passwords.
its not easy to get the profiles removed, but if you have actually proof its not stolen then apple can unenroll
does it help if its for a restaurant?
That depends on if they are willing and not always. He wasn't in the EU when he tried to get the management removed from the apple watch your friend?
Doesn't matter who set it up for what, someone set it up for enterprise management. Unless you mom can go to the team that did it or show proof she owns the device to apple its not getting removed and the app store is not being readded.
Or help you herself but she said she didn't know what to do so I don't think she was the one that set it up?
?
nope im in the states
damn so its pretty much a brick?
yeah dude shes the idk what my password is you figure it out kind of old person. XD
i mean wouldnt hurt to contact apple support and see if they can help
but 50/50 odds it is lol
I'm glad I never bought any tech that can be bricked just by not having credentials
should i update it? asking me to update to os 26
If the iOS device is managed by MDM, you'll have to request it be released from management by whomever set that up. If this was a business device, that's likely the IT firm they had managing their devices. If configured properly, there is no way around MDM on Apple or most modern Android devices, which is the whole point... It keeps devices safe and secure.
The only way Apple would help is with proof of purchase, then you can take it to the store and they have their way to remove the profile/reset the device
You can almost always use DFU mode to reset iOS devices, but during the activation process they contact Apple's servers which is when Activation Lock will happen and/or MDM re-enrollment.
thats what i did with my macbook that i got off ebay
Possibly. I've had some people who allowed IT to manage their personally bought iOS devices (never, ever, EVER use personal devices for work) after which Apple wouldn't help them even with proof of purchase because they needed the MDM lock released first. No clue if this was a "we can't" or "we won't" situation though.
Yah I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s different with MDM, but I know that’s how it works for account locked Apple devices
wont even let me add an apple account
What I said above applies. Unless you can get it released by whomever setup MDM, it's eWaste.
Your best bet is to ask the workplace that previously owned it nicely to remove the profile
i asked the owner my mom and she said just have it
Well then it’s a partially bricked iPad lol
Missing the more important features at least
i just want it for drawing! XD
Great, so ask her to remove MDM from it. If she doesn't know how... Either she's not the original owner or she doesn't know how MDM was installed. Doesn't change the fact of what we've told you already though; MDM is working as designed. For all we know, this iPad could have been part of a managed Point of Sale system for a food establishment, and technically controlled by the POS company under lease. It may have never been "purchased."
rate my latest OC ( iv been drawing for 1 month ish) but didnt use reference or trace
im scared to even try jailbraking it
Oh I know on repair side of things its better in the EU and the forced to allow xyz in software that they should be forced globally is only in the EU like for example no real side loading or other app stores less your in the EU.
Good to know it can be done if your only in the states.
im in the US
CATCH
Does anyone know what tail-scale is and is it safe
"Is it safe" depends entirely on what you mean and under what context.
If you mean "is it safe to setup your own Tailscale network" to access devices across multiple networks as if you were all on the same network VLAN? Sure, if configured correctly.
If you mean "is it safe to join someone else's Tailscale network" to play Minecraft, stream media, or access their equipment? That depends entirely on how much you trust the other person's equipment and network.
I mean it wont be a make a open port or store my data on one of tere servers
Tailscale is not port forwarding. And while you're not "storing data on their servers" you are passing some network traffic through their servers to establish the initial connection. And of course, you need to provide your own information when signing up for a Tailscale account. Last I checked, they have anti-fraud checks in place to prevent abuse. Plus, if you ever need to recover your account... you won't be able to unless you sign up with real information.
What are you trying to do, anyway?

Hey Kirashi
Mrow
can anyone help me my audio is being weird
can someone reccomend a good am4 matx mobo for like, around $80 or so? all i need is to have a decent amount of usb ports and like 2 m.2 nvme ssd slots minimum pretty much. if it makes a difference im using a 3080ti and a r7 5800x. and an ethernet port i guess but i cant imagine theres any that dont have one atp
Hey guys what’s the app called on pc to update your drivers I need to reinstall it on my pc
None. Visit your motherboard manufacturer's website and download the drivers manually.
certain its related to windows updates because apps love to break... and i was using xbox app just fine for gamepass up until today..... its got ucrtbase.dll errors. no amount of reinstalling, resetting, resetting seervices, installing an older version, or sfc scan or anything changes it. it simply crashes with no discernable source aside from updates.
tried everything down to runtime repairs etc.
restarted many times
I have a 4060ti with a psu of 550w, is upgrading my ryzen 5 5500 to a 5600x okay for the psu?
Plug all your pc parts into pcpartpicker.com to get a wattage estimate of your full build 
But likely fine
i have almost identical i got to expand on my desktop and works like a charm. don't even need the ext antenna but it helps
yea, aint no way i can get the xbox app running rn.... some update made it nonfunctional. basically its broken until further notice.
Does anyone here know how SPPTs work on Linux, or if there is a equivalent?
tried registry editing and wiping out files in appdata.... still didnt fix it. the backend for it is broken
mildly infuriating being unable to access a large library of games all of a sudden after windows updates.... like are you for real rn? they manage to break absolutely NOTHING except their own gaming platform ffs.
🤦♂️
and its non-revertable stuff
either a hardware incompatibility with the update and the app, or a software incompatibility with drivers.
question, which route is better to go for?
For reference my pc only has 4 usb ports on the mobo and 2 up front on the case and has no wifi capabilities
(Option A: PCIE USB Expansion Card + USB Wifi Adapter)
(Option B: PCIE Wifi Card + USB hub)
Quality, name-brand PCIe WiFi cards are almost always more performant than USB WiFi adapters, but it depends on your needs. A quality USB WiFi adapter isn't bad per say, and is easier to move between computers as needed, but you may run into weird issues with heat or USB connectivity. Depends on many factors.
Option B, because my Experience with USB Wifi Sticks is, they tend to overheat A lot
I see oke
After i've been through 3 USB Wifi Sticks from TPLink and Asus, I went with a Gigabyte GB WX210 or similar, that one worked flawlessly
cus this is for my old pc which has a microatx board with 1 extra 1x1 pcie slot so I had to go for one or the other...
and the usb wifi adapter that came with the pc back in 2018 is actually cooked now (wont get more than 2mbps download/ 1mbps upload)
Is a 6600xt for 155 a good deal
155 is fine yeah
what the AI
dude posting an AI generated setup
2013 xbox
deadass had me confused for a second cause why am i seeing an ultrawide PS5 screen but with an xbox to the side and xbox gamepass in the menu
im sure
Oh ok when I first got my pc there was an app that I could do it through
I never recommend using these apps as 1) they usually include extra unwanted software and 2) they don't help you learn how to manually install drivers when something goes wrong.
Anywho, up to you. If you want to use the software that came with your PC (we don't know what PC you have so we have zero way to tell you what this was called), go for it.
i could find that out for you just tell me where to look and i will give it to you guys
Well... who made your PC? What is the model? This is usually on a sticker on the back or side panel of the chassis. For example, "HP Envy 15-12003fca" or "Dell Inspiron 1603e" - a serial number works too.
If it's a custom built PC, we will need the make and model of motherboard which is most easily acquired from the sticker on the motherboard box, otherwise the next easiest way to get it is through something like https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor
hey can someone tell me for a monitor with HDR, is the HDR setting "gaming HDR" or "displayHDR 400 true black" better?
If its not universal, how can I find out for my specific monitor etc.?
on my XG32UCWMG gaming is the best
but it is indeed not universal
for your specific monitor you need to try it yourself, its personal preference
Probably even depends on the game...
Do you sport a fedora and black leather trench coat to public spaces?
I have no idea why you are saying that but I'm usually dressed with sartorial inspiration
Or with an archlinux (or other nerd shit) t shirt
Tailored suit with a T-shirt?
It's either sartorial stuff or random stuff with archlinux / vim / nixos t shirts
Ah
I should lwk buy more shirts
I have two black ones and a gray one
And some random t-shirts i got from friends
Yeah it's good to not be naked in public
You think?
lel
isnt it a crime as well
🥵
Damn since when are galaxy buds so expensive
They used to be like 100 dollars now theyre almost 200
since they started trying to compete with airpods
you can get usb ports that fit in the pcie slot that connect onto any other usb header on the mobo, but if you're going for the wifi, you're better off with a decent pcie wifi card and then use an antenna extension if the card didn't come with one
and depending on the oem for a laptop/desktop prebuild they may have a service tag number which you can use to get the full details and drivers of the system you're using, if it's a custom prebuild from an SI then you can get the drivers from the mobo manufacturers website @viscid oar
isn't this the one for linux that hwinfo uses a copy of the library from?

what chip shortage we have a few million tons of overflow of chips
first victim
people will lose their minds more over a ranch sauce shortage tbh
For what country? In the UK they’ve been constantly doing this for decades
The potatoes we buy in general though are the same varieties just developed for resistance year upon year
tbf we've been doing it to avoid what happened in ireland
Vegetable wise we are extremely good at it. Fruit wise we’ve been poor and I’d say only apple growers really ever took interest until we started exporting en mass
we have too many taters now
Apricots are non existent compared to the 70s and 80s now and cherries, Jesus, no one invests because they make a loss as it is for like 50 years or so now
It’s cheaper to lose a year or 2 crop than it is to invest for decades to come in cherries
just in my country alone we have a 600k ton of surplus in taters LOL
farmer near me is actually giving them away for free at the moment 😭
Man the 9950X3D2 is not the CPU we all thought it'd be
are you sure?
yes
Which is better for AI/ML over the next 4 years: MacBook Air M4 or Lenovo LOQ 2024 (13th Gen Intel Core i5-13450HX, RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)?
Anyone can recommend me a laptop under 600 pounds? Need it for Excel and would like it to be durable and reliable, would prefer windows as Mac's version of Excel is a bit limited
neither
both will struggle massively
if you wanna do run an AI/ML model with any sort of decent performance, you’ll be investing a lot more than that
running ML on a laptop is so funny
training a ML model is gonna suck majorly on a laptop
running an existing one might be tolerable on a high spec laptop
If you're starting out, it should be fine right
AI/ML and the specific mention of "4 years" might mean they're joining a university for 4 years with AIML as their specialisation. Any laptop would be fine for that tbh as long as it has good performance and min 16 gb ram.
Yeah i’m going into a similar field and they had a min spec of 16gb and recommended 32gb
What did we all think it was going to be?
in other news, the grass is green and the sky blue
We still need a benchmark and probably a tool to see how cache is utilised on these larger cache CPUs to understand them better tbh.
and iroh is still iroh
actually i’m having coffee instead of tea rn
Yep. Depending on University even 8gb would be fine. My university doesn't recommend any particular specs. Many are still using 5 or 6 years old laptops with 8gb ram.
Whatever we need to try out, we have labs with 64GB ram systems and amazing graphics cards, so it's fine to have a lower end laptop.
At this point I’m convinced AMD and Intel don’t fully understand it and are just lumping it on hoping it to make a difference for gaming when in reality, it has a hard cut off point compared to other tasks which probably have a higher cut off point
i just got a new MBP m5 pro 48gb for my studies
el zephyrus g14 please survive another month 😭

it really needs new thermal paste but damn is it a pain in the ass to do
lol
The 9800x3d/7800x3d I don’t think the gains are in increased cache size in gaming but down to IPC and clock speed 🤷🏼♂️ can’t prove that but nor can I think anyone including manufacturers prove otherwise
it’s both
^^
but the 9950x3d2 doesn’t benefit from the cache as much since the cache is split between ccds
if it were double the cache on a single CCD the performance would be mind boggling
my poor zephyrus is running at like 80c doing nothing LOL poor thing
i will save you once the school years over
do yall know how much of the 48gb of unified memory can be allocated to the GPU? on the M5 pro
You take 7800x3d to 9800x3d and average gains in game can be what, 12-20% game dependant? So for argument sake say 15%. Clock speed makes a massive difference and IPC gives around say 5% boost. Based clocks being 4.2 v 4.7 and boost 5 v 5.2 - iirc cache is the same amount. So when you look at the huge boost even if you remove latency on 9950x3d2. There’s a strong case that there’s a big hard L3 cache cut off point where it makes negligible to no difference on current games
less sensitive
Apple still hasn't sent me my kick back yet 😢
its 100% went how i said it go
how is that
meh
its funny how wendel said border lands 4 its actuely faster with tune then 9850x3d
due to he was able to to split the work over both ccd since due to how its coded can be split into 2 chunks that dont realy need to speak together much
not where I was going
the issue is apparently dual X3D CCDs are super sensitive to memory tuning
not realy
yes really
explain why you think that
I don't think it I know it
progressing through the stages of grief I see
explain
I have 3x 9950X3D2s and not a single one of them can run over 7600 M/Ts
And OCN is seeing similar results
Massive, massive amounts of ODT and termination tuning needed to stabilize even moderate memory speed
Veii is "pretty well versed" and confirms
very intresting
but i was meaning like performance numbers showing it gaining more then like 9950x from a tune
was there a new steping?
I have my highest R23 score on 9950X3D2 by far, ther core performance is there
My 9950X3D ebst is like 46900k
also its higher allcore clock then 9950x3d out of box
These are manual OCs
fair but the binning is there for 2 very nice ccd
9950X3D2 is not higher clock than 9950X3D
😱
The binning is not there, no
CCD0 is a 9850X3D and CCD1 is a 9800X3D
