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

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 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.

DLSS 4.5 is entirely unnoticeable in the vast majority of scenarios

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

so new games will always push new hardware to the limit

ocean axle
grizzled frost
#

truth is, there isn’t really any point beyond 4k at 27in, or 5k at 32in

both are functionally at the limit of what the human eye can see at a reasonably viewing distance

I just need someone to make an 8K OLED 42” TV already

grizzled frost
# teal sinew nop

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

ocean axle
teal sinew
#

a person with average vision can appreciate 5K, 6K, and yes even 8K on a desktop monitor even at arms' length viewing distance

plain cypress
teal sinew
#

you also cannot only look at PPD on its own when determining fidelity

teal sinew
#

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

plain cypress
#

I don't see a personal need to go beyond retina 2x

tranquil wharf
# plain cypress Retina resolution ❤️

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

bold kindle
# tranquil wharf so new games will always push new hardware to the limit

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''.

right now, games are not pretty enough to ONLY focus on things like raytracing.

teal sinew
#

same im happy to park at 5K/6K and pump up refresh rate instead

plain cypress
#

Yeah PC land has so few 5k+ (16:9/16:10) options

grizzled frost
#

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

tranquil wharf
#

only reason I want 5k over 4k is to get 1440p-scaled UI with 200% scale

teal sinew
#

@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

grizzled frost

Yeah i saw the study, did a bit of math to get the ppd of a 4k 27in monitor

teal sinew
#

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

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%

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)

teal sinew
#

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%

tranquil wharf
teal sinew
#

but ill put up with those problems to get better image quality whenever i finally upgrade to 5K

tranquil wharf
#

it's easier to scale 1 pixel into 2 than into 1.5

midnight wind

software developers perform multiplication correctly in order to make fractional scaling work challenge (medium difficulty)

you can preserve sharp edges perfectly with 200%

how cheap would a new setup have to be, for oled fans to no longer reccomend getting a 1440p oled.

yeah I do a lot of HDR content consumption so my G5 is great

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.

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.

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

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.

thats still different from enterprise/school device management profiles

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?

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."

"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.

# open rock 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.

Man the 9950X3D2 is not the CPU we all thought it'd be

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

running ML on a laptop is so funny

grizzled frost
#

training a ML model is gonna suck majorly on a laptop

#

running an existing one might be tolerable on a high spec laptop

Yeah i’m going into a similar field and they had a min spec of 16gb and recommended 32gb

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.

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

it really needs new thermal paste but damn is it a pain in the ass to do

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

grizzled frost
#

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

# grizzled frost but the 9950x3d2 doesn’t benefit from the cache as much since the cache is split...

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

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

thorny saddle
#

the issue is apparently dual X3D CCDs are super sensitive to memory tuning

explain why you think that

I don't think it I know it

explain

thorny saddle
#

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

fair but the binning is there for 2 very nice ccd

9950X3D2 is not higher clock than 9950X3D

CCD0 is a 9850X3D and CCD1 is a 9800X3D
