[tall sandal]

You guys are making me upset. All my money is gone

[flat cliff]

What's the best model for local RP on 8gb vram? One of the smaller DeepSeek or something else?

[median warren]

I knew it from the beginning but I had hope

[tall sandal]

Gosh my day is ruined. I can’t believe I listened to that guy

[native path]

yes WE are making you upset

[tall sandal]

I trusted him

[native path]

yes all your money is wasted, you couldve had a 270k and a 5070

[median warren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1499551065513660476/image0.gif

[native path]

and you've ended up with a shitty cpu and a shitty gpu, not to mention the ram

oh gosh the memory speeds

it's so low!!! the benchmarks... they told me i'm missing out on 200% extra performance!!

[frail sequoia]

Wadafak is going on

[median warren]

It's okay frosty, I feel you

[median warren]

Don't bother, but you can scroll up and read

[craggy fiber]

does it matter where i install this

[median warren]

Just install it where it recommends it by default, should be fine

[frail sequoia]

So they are upset because THEY picked out 4800mts/mhz ram and a 9900x and I think it said 5060ti for £1800

[median warren]

Yeah and their justification is that they only use Amazon because it's what their parents trust and strictly use and that they got the info from a trusted "professional gamer" friend

We explained how they could have gotten a much better deal, and we just went in a loop for 30 minutes tbh

[frail sequoia]

Bro 😭

[median warren]

But everything is high end and high quality ofc

[native path]

i cant believe i trusted that professional gamer... we picked the parts together and it turned out to just not be good

[frail sequoia]

If their "pro gamer" friend told them to get a pentium 4 that uses ddr ram and socket 486 or 468 or whatever socket it is and a 5090 they would probs get it

[median warren]

I have a similar story, recently helped a friend build a £2000 pc, she had one of her friends help her before and almost bought it. They recommended a 3060, that's all I'll say

She has the parts now and thankfully it's not a 3060

[craggy fiber]

ok thx i hope it doesnt glithc

[median warren]

Praying for you

[native path]

yeah bro when i was mining crypto the 3060 was elite, itll serve you well bro go for it

[median warren]

If only 5090 was £2000

[median warren]

Pretty much

Want the pc part picker list of what they got tho? The list I made

[frail sequoia]

Sure

[median warren]

One sec

[frail sequoia]

I hope it goes well

I need to be employed

[keen folio]

Problem is, many games aren’t compatible. Also photoshop doesn’t work either. The editing program I use doesn’t have a Linux version. I’m stuck on windows. For mobile I got my MacBook

[median warren]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Vr4Xbp

Keep in mind, aesthetics matter for them and strictly wanted white pc

PSU is £110 so whatever but it comes with white cables so it saved money on having to buy extensions to match

[frail sequoia]

400 quid ram 😭

[median warren]

Yes, that's the lowest white ram

£400 is the cheapest, 32gb stick of ram that's white

And honestly same for non white ram, ram is fucked

And they did want ram that had RGB so

[median warren]

I mean

It'll look cool asf tho

I'm going over to their house to build it in a week

[frail sequoia]

Depends on what colour the fan rgb and ram rgb well the rgb in general is

[median warren]

Whatever they want it to be

No idea tho

[frail sequoia]

I made website

[median warren]

I like your website

[frail sequoia]

Ty

Its my first website

[median warren]

Good website

[frail sequoia]

Ty

[quasi lodge]

hey yall what budget should i expect for a new pc for some heavy unreal engine 5 cinematics and some blender modeling rendering and most adobe apps also some daily AAA open wolrd gaming on max settings on 2K res

[high elm]

in china brand new 32gb ram is ~£280

6000C36

albeit uses cxmt dram

2nd hand is even cheaper £190 for 32gb a die

[median warren]

Yeah secondhand market is nice

Although it kinda sucks ass here, I dunno, I only found decent DDR5 sticks for £300+ here

[native path]

well this is gonna be fun

probably shouldnt send that

[median warren]

Send it

I'm curious now

[deep musk]

Im gonna jump on the highway, they want to make use windows server 2016 instead of Linux and the teachers want to force me to use windows

[native path]

dms

[median warren]

Okay

[keen folio]

So uhm. This keeps happening. Anyone got a clue what’s wrong? Could it be the driver? I got an RX7800XT

That is btw just my wallpaper

[steel umbra]

it's dying bc you're watchng american tiktok

[keen folio]

god damn thats yt shorts, but its just as example. it happens even on normal videos

[tall sandal]

@median warren Sorry for wasting your time man.

Life is life, yk mistakes happen.

[median warren]

Its alright, I got over it

At least it helped me kill some time in work

[tall sandal]

But I’ve understood

I was just trying to cope and justify myself, but this is not something I can justify

I genuinely made a mistake. But told my parents they said it’s fine, we got money etc

[median warren]

Alright fair enough

[tall sandal]

lmao she was giving examples of I don’t buy my meat from cheap stores

Premium quality

💀

[median warren]

Yeah except that's completely different and have 0 relevance

How an animal is killed, cut, prepared and transported then stocked onto shelves is so much different than to how like

Corsair makes an aio and prices it at £100 and its worse than an aio that's £50

[tall sandal]

Ikr, just mom being mom

She is just like that Lmaoo

[median warren]

Yeah I mean she's the one getting scammed

[tall sandal]

She did multiple times

For example with my laptop, turns out it didn’t know it had bad QC

Looked great on paper, reviews gave it very good reviews

[median warren]

Yeah it's easy to waste money if the one who's buying isnt tech savvy

[native path]

Accepting apologies of ragebait now

[median warren]

Yeah I mean, if they apologised it's a good sign isn't it?

[native path]

Till they start again

[median warren]

That'll be someone else's problem next time

[tall sandal]

It’s not

Genuine mistakes were made

People make mistakes

[tall sandal]

But realistically you wouldn’t be able to know this stuff that much

The bad reviews on Amazon came only after I bought the laptop

[median warren]

You would tho

[tall sandal]

I looked around

just not enough

[median warren]

You go to communities such as this one, and go on YouTube and watch trusted sources

[tall sandal]

Or maybe I just got unlucky

[median warren]

Or use tech radar, rtings, Tom's hardware, all these places

[tall sandal]

People get defective units all the time

[deep musk]

Forgor to add, their windows pc, I have my own Linux laptop (I have special mesures that are supposed to allow me to use my laptop to take notes on it) and they say “use our pc and one drive” do do this, the reason I use my laptop is cause when I use multiple paper books I get really disorganized, doing what they want me to do is just transferring the problem over

[shrewd lance]

poor nzxt case man

[median warren]

Did someone bury the pc

[shrewd lance]

thats dust 😭

[median warren]

That's fucking dirt

[shrewd lance]

thankfully it all came out easily with a water hose

[median warren]

Straight up Nasty ass, Minecraft ahh dirt

[shrewd lance]

you can tell its been there a long time cause it stained the metal lmao

[median warren]

Is it even worth recovering

[deep musk]

Someone def smoked around this pc

[shrewd lance]

yes

i have an i7-6700k mobo and a gtx 650 i wanna put in it

[median warren]

https://tenor.com/view/smoking-gif-7265465383984282846

This animation is so fucking good

[median warren]

What are you using the pc for

[bold olive]

https://tenor.com/view/500-ciggarettes-gif-11805300176740010737

[median warren]

500 cigarettes

[deep musk]

Im just baffled by how people’s mind are just locked on something sometimes

[bold olive]

🗣️ 🔥 500 cigarrettes 🗣️ 🔥

disclaimer: smoking is for people who hates tech

[median warren]

Vaping too

[bold olive]

and that

[bold olive]

by the way?

touch wood touch wood touch wood

[deep musk]

?

[bold olive]

which distro are you using

YES it's in my favor (assume all are caps)

[tall sandal]

wrong guy

@median warren just to understand

[bold olive]

what did i do

[deep musk]

Nyarch

[bold olive]

too close for comfort

and do you not know by the way?

[tall sandal]

Can you pick out pc parts picker to show me what I could have gotten instead

[bold olive]

what. did. i. do

[tall sandal]

I meant to ping the other guy

tomi

[deep musk]

Yes but I don’t care tbh

[remote swallow]

yall need to see my newest deal

got this for €50

[grizzled frost]

GPU alone is worth almost 800usd

[remote swallow]

wait what

i thought they were like max 200

[grizzled frost]

I lied, i’ll give you 50usd for it

[remote swallow]

oh wait im thinking of the p4000 or sumn

[quasi moat]

i like being a new member of the ethernet club

[grizzled frost]

Go look it up, RTX A4000 regularly go for 700-800usd

[remote swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-happy-gif-17940461566866761352

selling that gpu

[grizzled frost]

You got one hell of a deal

[remote swallow]

yeah work got rid of it

its never even been turned on

[grizzled frost]

Where you work, and are you hiring

[carmine yew]

that is the most bullshit OEM Heatsink to have ever heatsinked

[shrewd lance]

home gym PC, for music/netflix whatever

[remote swallow]

the fucking peel is still on it

[grizzled frost]

Lucky bastard

https://tenor.com/view/congrats-nice-happy-for-you-congrats-nice-happy-for-you-gif-1927193140186872022

[remote swallow]

i got it more for the cpu/ram

[frail sequoia]

I made a website earlier!

[grizzled frost]

and accidentally got the gpu deal of all time

[shrewd lance]

also its a GTX 660 not 650

[remote swallow]

11700k and 32Gb 3200Mhz

[carmine yew]

solid

[remote swallow]

no clue what nvme drive is in here lemme go open it

[grizzled frost]

RAM alone is worth more than 50eur

[carmine yew]

it's actually a K in an oem box?

[remote swallow]

yep

[carmine yew]

it's only ddr4

[grizzled frost]

idk why “50eur” autocorrect to 500usd

[carmine yew]

ahhh yeah

[frail sequoia]

16gb ddr4 is like £80

[remote swallow]

still it can go for like 100+ here

[carmine yew]

he originally had autocorrected to 500

[remote swallow]

still got the immaculate peel

[carmine yew]

which... granted, some DDR5 can be 500 bucks for 32gb (somehow)

[remote swallow]

i mean

[frail sequoia]

Ah

[remote swallow]

cheapest ddr5 32gb here is €400

so thats like $475

[carmine yew]

europe pays taxes we don't

[remote swallow]

yeah not here

yeah we do lol thats why the price diff

[carmine yew]

but if anyone wants something batshit insane for no good reason:

2x16GB DDR5 5200 CL40 for over 1K USD

That's beyond hilarious

[wooden tree]

Do we need to start a revolution against rising RAM prices because waiting isn't enough

[carmine yew]

what are you actually gonna do? Fight Samsung and SK Hynix?

[remote swallow]

sadly just a 256gb samsung ssd

[carmine yew]

oh, boo-hoo, the PC you got for ~5% of its value only has a crappy lil 256GB SSD 😛

[remote swallow]

https://giphy.com/gifs/my-apologies-sorry-cat-apolocheese-uGs3nvw76BfzPWnSv6

how much u reckon i can sell the gpu for

why are these gpu's so expensive tho

[wooden tree]

Hmm

[hexed tapir]

Adding sugar to concrete ruins it, remember that when AI data centers move to your town

[wooden tree]

Next year (or months?) the AI bubble burst will actually happen so that AI data centers will decrease and stop operating

[carmine yew]

you can keep believing that lol

we're stuck with AI, it ain't going away and it ain't gonna get smaller

[remote swallow]

well guess imma try to sell this gpu then

[worn willow]

slap elon musk

then get arrested for attempted murder

[carmine yew]

What about OpenAI? Google? And everyone fucking else in on the AI Game?

I mean, I want to deck musk (at least) as much as the next enthusiast, but... he's a small player in the grand scheme

[worn willow]

open ai has the weird dude i forgot but i think he was mark
google idk
microsoft the sayta nutella and bill gates

[carmine yew]

Open AI is Sam Altman

[fringe prairie]

bill gates doesn’t really do anything with ms anymore iirc

he left a while ago

[carmine yew]

Gates is long retired

and don't forget Claude et all

[worn willow]

also the mark zuckinbeng

[grizzled frost]

bro i have to update the vectorworks updater

[sleek ibex]

[fringe prairie]

zucc

[carmine yew]

you're making my point:
As fun as decking Musk would be, doing it would do roughly zero in the grand scheme

[sleek ibex]

All it does is gives him more ammo

[carmine yew]

even if it immediately nuked Grok / xAI the overall impact would be negligible

[carmine yew]

unless he never gets back up from the hit lol

[sleek ibex]

Most he'll do is sperg out on X

Given how terminally online he is on there

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/lone-star-benzotoast-alpha-gal-xPvToQuBxWV8iA6erB

[carmine yew]

shut the fuck up with that nonsense

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/anime-one-piece-luffy-1K8NlomCFNuKcGlHxT

[carmine yew]

your shitposting is bad, and you should feel bad about it

[gaunt spade]

not today

[tulip sparrow]

Uh what? https://www.destructoid.com/lotr-fans-rejoice-kingdom-come-devs-officially-middle-earth/

[carmine yew]

lets gooooo

That's awesome

[dark fable]

like i said…. 18$ ebay b365m was NOT a success

[carmine yew]

well, that's fucked

You can (theoretically) fix it, but odds are not high

[dark fable]

i had high hopes that the seller was just dumb because he sold an x570 aorus master as broken that just needed a bios update

not so lucky for this one unfortunately

[worn willow]

just bend the pins back

[carmine yew]

I see at least 20 fucked up pins there

[carmine yew]

that's not gonna be easy

[dark fable]

i already attempted the repair

both sides are fubar

board’s being saved for a socket swap

i can solder better than i can fix pins

[worn willow]

also why no one invented socket converters

so you can just plug in a socket into socket to plug in a amd cpu in intel board

[median warren]

Yeah because it's that easy

Let me go make one

[stark flicker]

lmao

[carmine yew]

cuz the bios wouldn't read it

and that kinda matters

[worn willow]

just put the correct pins in correct location

[median warren]

I'd imagine windows wouldn't have a great time with it either

Intel now, 2 minutes later amd

[carmine yew]

it's not about the pins. it's about the circuit design and hardware

[carmine yew]

Why do you think BIOS Updates exist for newer CPUs?

[median warren]

Basic input output system wouldn't be so basic anymore

[cold skiff]

That’s fucked up. What monster did this

[cold skiff]

Didn’t an earlier Pentium 3 or 4 have something like this

[carmine yew]

Pentium 1 might have. IIRC Super Socket 7 could take AMD or Intel.

After that they all had their own sockets.

[dark fable]

fml bot muted me for sending 2 pictures at the same time

[cold skiff]

Didn’t they put mobile CPUs on a PCB and plug it into a mainboard for P3?

[dark fable]

yeah just trust me bro the socket isn’t fixable

[carmine yew]

AMD Pushed Socket 7 farther with K6-2's

Intel went to Slot 1

Then AMD went Slot A
And Intel went Slot 2

And then they both went to different sockets.

[sleek ibex]

Socket 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, Super Socket 7 could fit either on the same socket

[carmine yew]

no.
You're thinking P3 and Slockets

[sleek ibex]

[sleek ibex]

I have one of these

[cold skiff]

K6… the memories

[dark fable]

tldr fucked

[deep musk]

Depends, these pins could be just grounds

[deep musk]

Or unused

[carmine yew]

Slockets took Socket P3 Chips.... (Socket 370 IIRC?)

And adapted them to Slot 2 boards.

[dark fable]

the ebay seller i bought from

let’s be honest here i had low hopes for a asus tuf b365m for 31$ including shipping

[carmine yew]

(OR were P3's still slot 1, and Xeons Slot 2?)

[dark fable]

I’ve already matched the pinout for the 1151 socket

several of them are important

[sleek ibex]

P2-P3 - slot 1
Xeon - Slot 2

[dark fable]

some are straight up broken off at the root

[deep musk]

Very high chances that it’s not but still technically possible

[deep musk]

Ah, shit

[carmine yew]

thx. been a long ass time since I tried to think back to the pre-00 era lol

[dark fable]

multiple of the dram ones are damaged and a ton of vcc/vss pins are bent touching or broken

it’s like two dozen pins total damaged three straight up broken

i tried fellas 😔

[sleek ibex]

And there's Slot A (a short lived competitor to Slot 1 from AMD that didn't last a year)

[carmine yew]

Slot A was hilarious

[dark fable]

I’m hoping to use it to attempt a socket swap

[deep musk]

It was just a b365m anyway

[dark fable]

i even used the mechanical pencil with no lead/sewing needle and a magnifying glass trick…. Several of them were just so structurally compromised it was jacked up

[dark fable]

see, i’d agree, but i bought it as a QoL upgrade for my wife so it kinda sucks

[deep musk]

Oh, damn, what’s her current board? Qwq

[dark fable]

B365s are still 70-100$ used and i thought i might be able to upgrade her system just a little bit for 18$

[deep musk]

Which gen is that again?

[dark fable]

It’s a transplanted Acer N50-600 in my old phanteks case. This disgusting thing.

[deep musk]

Oooffff , yeah a mobo upgrade will be awesomesawce

[deep musk]

8th-9th iirc?

[dark fable]

her PSU was dying so I swapped it into an old case I had because SOMEHOW it’s micro atx compatible. I thought i could give her a cheap consumer board until i pick her up the microcenter 300$ 7500x3d/ddr5 bundle

[deep musk]

Wait, how much ram and what config of dimms?

[dark fable]

i figured i could get her onto a consumer board for 18$ and that would hold her over but the socket is super damaged

[deep musk]

Thats might be a good deal ngl

[dark fable]

2x8gb ddr4, some real cheap oem heatspreaderless dimms

[deep musk]

Not that bad, at least it’s not a single dimm kit

[dark fable]

going to this eventually

but i figured that b365 would hold her over until i buy the parts

[deep musk]

I meant for the bundle

[dark fable]

that’s my bad

yeah it’s a 1x16gb

[safe forge]

That’s a dang good deal tho

[deep musk]

Nu worries

[dark fable]

it’s in no way ideal at all so I’m probably going to sell it individually

[deep musk]

Oof, better than nothing ngl

[dark fable]

i don’t like the board or the ram but it’s better to buy it as a kit and sell it on facebook marketplace

299 is pretty unbeatable

[dark fable]

thats what im saying

[stray portal]

Qd mini led is so goooood

[deep musk]

That board is fine

[safe forge]

That one ram dimm is like $180 on eBay

[deep musk]

Nothing crazy but better than a lot of boards i see in bundles these days

[dark fable]

plus my wife only plays shit like

minecraft, stardew, apex, occasionally escape from tarkov with me so i think a 7500x3d would be perfect enough for her

plus she has a 2060 super for the time being and there’s zero point in buying her a 7800x3d just to slot in a 2060 super lol

[dark fable]

i got burnt on msi back on first/second gen ryzen so i don’t really trust them

if you say it’s fine though I’ll give it a second chance

[deep musk]

Tarkov will suffer from single channel ram

[dark fable]

agreed

that’s why ideally id get her a 2x8 kit

[deep musk]

My main has an msi board (b550, pretty good) and never had any issues

[dark fable]

i know what you’re going to say

[deep musk]

Better than 1 x16

[dark fable]

“just buy a second stick that matches”

It’s ddr5-6000 CL36

[safe forge]

Man I’m so glad I bought my system before rampocalypse. Seeing how much the kit in it goes for online now makes me gag

[clear canyon]

That game runs like shit no matter what

[dark fable]

a 2x8 would be better

[deep musk]

Nah, not worth the effort to find good compatibility if you have the money to get a 2x8 kit

[dark fable]

plus I’m trying to save some money to move me into a 7800x3d

[deep musk]

Yeah, but there’s like shit and like shit thrown at the floor

[clear canyon]

Lol

[dark fable]

the timings are mega ass as well

[clear canyon]

I run one, its awesome

[clear canyon]

I run 6000mhz cl30

[deep musk]

Oof

[dark fable]

i’m hoping itll run arma reforger better

[safe forge]

I’ve been twiddling the thought of swapping my 4070 for a 9070xt. I’d also like to do a mobo swap and if need a new psu. Haven’t decided if the upgrade is worth it rn or if it’s better to rip the bandaid off

[clear canyon]

It does not matter much for an x3d chip tho

[dark fable]

plus give me more headroom to upgrade my gpu

[clear canyon]

The extra cache removes alot of the issues of higher latency ram

[dark fable]

i really do think I’m cpu bound with reforger

[deep musk]

Depends, what’s your current psu?

[dark fable]

I have a 5700XT, and that’s old, but I have a 3600X and I really think that’s handicapping me

especially on a game like reforger

[safe forge]

It’s an MSI 750 or 800

[dark fable]

thinking of getting a 9070xt

i have plenty of headroom, i have a seasonic gx850 focus plus

[safe forge]

More so the psu upgrade would be so id have headroom

A 1000w psu isn’t like scalped and run over priced

[dark fable]

i am sad to ditch ddr4 though

my ram kit while on the lower end for capacity is a beast of a kit

red and black trident z 3600 b-die

[safe forge]

I’ve got a 16x2 teamforce kit in mine. I bought an ibuypower prebuilt in December of 2024 and watched the prices go ape shit

[stray portal]

Goog

[silent scarab]

Any reason to get a 4k monitor if i don't plan on playing at 4k? I never really used any tv i had. I just watch content on my pc.

[grizzled frost]

no

[safe forge]

Not really no. If you don’t play in 4k you’re just wasting money imo. Unless 4k YouTube is that worth it for you

[clear canyon]

Get a 4k monitor to do things in 4k, or else whats the point

[safe forge]

Kinda like buying a 5090 to play minesweeper

[silent scarab]

Best 1440p monitor out?

[glossy veldt]

the oil machine

[hexed tapir]

https://autos.yahoo.com/policy-and-environment/articles/leaked-autozone-memo-warns-massive-150007361.html $$$$$

[safe forge]

I hear the new top line Samsungs are nice

LG also has a line of accredited oleds

[limber nacelle]

at least its worth something to mem overclockers

you can put that towards a new build

[glossy veldt]

40%? that's tough

[sinful cobalt]

i bought a 5090 for youtube

also bought a 5070ti for discord

the 5060ti is the one playing the game

[sharp ivy]

I got gifted a 1l bottle of 10W-30 so I'm chillin for the moment

hopefully my Briggs and Stratton twin doesn't eat much up

I guess I could forgo changing the oil in my Kawasaki FC150V

[torpid sinew]

bad financial decision?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/286586224781
It does come with a Xeon, you dont have to get one separate. that 1270 is worth a little bit

or get a mainboard from a precision 3630 and put it my own case
https://www.ebay.com/itm/225997643389
It is 9th gen capable. hm.

[empty quartz]

Im scared my system will break one of the tables at whale lan

[gilded imp]

just dont use motor oil

problem solved

[hexed tapir]

Once my car dies I will probably go electric if good models are under $15k

Used ofc

[empty quartz]

Buy a hybrid instead

[gilded imp]

I wanna try changing my motor coolant

[empty quartz]

@gilded imp whats wrong with a hybrid

[rough salmon]

Bro wtf

Why is ram £77

For just 8gb

[empty quartz]

Ai

[rough salmon]

Bruh when I got this exact one like 2 years ago it was only £15

[gilded imp]

now you have to maintain a gas engine for the small amount of time you actually use it

[hexed tapir]

But gas will still cost over $4.30

[steel umbra]

great, you can sell it for 2.5x profit

[gilded imp]

https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-411B3CD5-2F03-465F-A72C-3E1B68EA7F76.html

[hexed tapir]

Vs 11 cents kwh electricity

[gilded imp]

like 2.5 liter of oil in the drive unit

[south arrow]

Its 4.90 to 5$ a gallon here

[gilded imp]

2.5 liter aint much huh? how much is in a normal sized gas car

[rough salmon]

Son, it’s the only ram I have I have 16gb of ram and I’m not going back to 8

[hexed tapir]

Regular$4.39. Premium $4.85 Diesel$5.39 at Costco here

[steel umbra]

ngl considering how bad market conditions for cars are here in eu… old cars went up in price and new ones constantly have recalls due to random sensor issues or whatever

gas is too $$$

[gilded imp]

most car recalls are nonsense

[hexed tapir]

No filter right?

[gilded imp]

there is!

[steel umbra]

i wish we has more cars with less features

[hexed tapir]

Oh

[gilded imp]

gotta change my tesla's oil

[steel umbra]

i prefer reliability

[gilded imp]

loll

[hexed tapir]

So ford is off the table

[gilded imp]

you dont even gotta get your hands dirty

wonder what this is

[steel umbra]

well, every car is off the table, the ol’ good reliable toyotas and hondas burn a ton of gas

[hexed tapir]

Adding electricity to the electric car oil duh 🙄

[gilded imp]

OH, thats pretty cool. Its a 12v power supply to power the oil pump

[steel umbra]

and modern ones constantly break due to abundance of gimmicks

so i just use public transport

[gilded imp]

that just isnt true

[steel umbra]

it is

[gilded imp]

vast majority of most modern cars are just fine

[hexed tapir]

A lot of times it's dumb over the air updates or adding stickers

[steel umbra]

more features = more failure points, even if those failure points have less of a chance of breaking there are still too many features

[hexed tapir]

My mom's 2022 Kia soul got a recall for having the wrong engine oil type printed on the oil cap

[steel umbra]

try to repair something on modern car that’s not the engine or tire replacement

$$$$$

with so many gimmicks you get less standardization

across vehicles

[gilded imp]

my car was recalled because they used the wrong font or whatever for an icon on the screen lol

[steel umbra]

which means the part that breaks is more costly in the end

[hexed tapir]

Just buy a car that's been out for 5+ years with the same body and drivetrain , then you can go junkyard shopping for parts

[hexed tapir]

did they use an illegal font?

[gilded imp]

thats why I buy cars from companies that sell OEM replacement parts

[steel umbra]

i’ll just go public transport because i can’t afford gas prices

[hexed tapir]

Electric motorcycle

[steel umbra]

sometimes my head gets reduced bloodflow so i shouldn’t ride those

[hexed tapir]

Can I buy a new battery pack from Tesla

Or like the mini zone cell pack thing

[steel umbra]

anyways if i buy a car it’s going to be like 2010s toyota or something

well anything without a turbo engine

[gilded imp]

yes

although idk how that works now that my battery has been retrofited to LFP... might need to go searching to see what exact replacement that would be

[hexed tapir]

Damnit I need a vin for it so I can't buy it alone to make my own home battery wall

[gilded imp]

I really wanna get one of those like $8k model S and do that

take the motors and whatever else, battery goes into a backup

cant beat that price per kwh

[steel umbra]

that’s a lot of money ngl

[gilded imp]

yes... its an entire HV battery

do you know what also costs a lot of money? a new engine

[stark flicker]

Modern EV have less features so less stuff to break

There is just so much more parts everywhere in an ice car it's not comparable in terms of reliability

[steel umbra]

fair

[stark flicker]

Sure it cost 12k to change the battery

But the battery just won't die like that first, and in the end you have sooooo many less stuff to repair, change etc etc it's insane

[steel umbra]

i meant combustion vehicles

[stark flicker]

Yeah well in 2026 buying a combustion vehicles is just being a dumbass tbf

[steel umbra]

oh yeah btw the battery has a limited lifespan and after one or two decades you might want to change the battery due to degradation

[stark flicker]

Or yeah, not owning a house and not being able to charge at home, it's a problem yes

[prisma flame]

Hello everyone

[stark flicker]

Nop

At worst the battery will just have less and less range

[lean flame]

I'm having an LTT Screwdriver 3D printed at my local Library for free!

[steel umbra]

2% a year

[steel umbra]

that’s what i meant…

[hexed tapir]

Cheaper than a transmission for a GMC Sierra

[steel umbra]

tf

[gilded imp]

easier to change the battery than a transmission too

[lean flame]

and they say Gamers have the most expensive hobby.

[stark flicker]

It's not 2% per year and even if it is it just won't die like that, you will just have less range

Meanwhile after 250k km an ice is kind of dead or close to

[gilded imp]

gas cars also get less range as they age

[stark flicker]

I didn't know that

[gilded imp]

worn out parts are less efficient

[stark flicker]

But it makes sense

[steel umbra]

it is 2%.

[hexed tapir]

Tbf that's the most expensive units and model

[deep musk]

And leak liquids and gasses (if not taken care of properly)

[stark flicker]

And anyway just the amount of saving done by owning an EV over 10y you can probably buy a brand new battery (it's not needed I repeat) and still have it be cheaper than an ICE car lol

[hexed tapir]

And make oil spots on the driveway

[lean flame]

i was thinking of replacing my desk with a Husky Workbench.

[steel umbra]

well the battery is the most polluting part about the cars, the huge advantage of combustion vehicles is that they’re literally more eco friendly if you don’t use them on a regular basis is what i’m going for

[hexed tapir]

One huge pro of ICE cars is that they normally get cheaper tires that last longer though that depends on how you drive

[deep musk]

Depends, might not be needed in Europe due to the “compactness” of the countries but over here in a province 6 times the size of France (iirc) that battery swap might be necessary (still worth it compared to buying another car)

[clear canyon]

You can fix an engine

[stark flicker]

For me it's 70% cheaper energy wise to have an EV and you also have no maintainance to do on the drive-parts besides the tires

[lean flame]

and they are known to burst into flames randomly!

[deep musk]

You can go through cheap ice car tires really easily ((even good ones) if you driving style is harsh enough)

[deep musk]

Yeah, ice and ev cars

[clear canyon]

Thats more of china cars tbf lmao

[deep musk]

You can also technically fix a battery

[lean flame]

Teslas do that a lot!

[clear canyon]

No lol

[clear canyon]

Iv not seen many us cars so idk

[lean flame]

it was a whole thing for a while!

[deep musk]

Yes, you can theoretically change ded/damaged cells (don’t do this tho, and if you do im not legally responsible for your actions)

[hexed tapir]

Only car fires I have driven past are ice

[clear canyon]

Fair

[steel umbra]

gasoline explodes very nicely as well but not as nicely as movies show

[stark flicker]

The ecology part is entirely dependent on the cleanness of the electricity , there are studies showing it

In the US yeah it's not that great
Here in France we have most of our electricity super clean, same story with norway, so that makes the EV cars absolutely always better pollution wise

Also one important part that people overlook about pollution : its localisation

It's better to have a power/manufacturing plant polluting than having the streets where you live and breath polluted

[clear canyon]

Im not into the ecar thing so i don't keep up with it

[steel umbra]

norway doesn’t have clean energy, look how much pollution norway exports

[gilded imp]

no

[hexed tapir]

France gave electricity out for free a few months ago

[steel umbra]

look at the lithium mines in south america

it’s much worse than just co2

[hexed tapir]

I think it's tires actually

[stark flicker]

Yeah well there own energy is clean, what they export isn't indeed, that's quite ironical and kind of besides the point

[south arrow]

Sounds valid

[deep musk]

The best type of ice car is diesel in this regard, it’s extremely hard to light light on fire at atmospheric pressure

[gilded imp]

over the lifetime of a gas car and an EV, the EV is better for the enviroment than gas

[stark flicker]

What? I paid my electricity bill

[steel umbra]

well if you mention how clean norway is, you also should mention their exports

[gilded imp]

most of the pollution from an EV comes from its manufactuering... so once its made every mile you drive brings you back to net positive

[deep musk]

No?? They might have done a reduction on electricity bills but they like money too much to do this

[cold skiff]

You mean the oil?

[steel umbra]

the thing i’m attacking is greenwashing

[clear canyon]

Assuming it lasts that long

[south arrow]

No matter the state of affairs I hope youre all doing well

[stark flicker]

I mention how their electricity is clean not the country itself

[steel umbra]

electric cars are way less eco friendly than people think

[gilded imp]

(they do)

[steel umbra]

you gotta use your car regularly for years for an electric to be more eco friendly than combustion ones

[cold skiff]

Are you sure? What about all that oil, gas and coal to power the electricity you charge your car with?

[stark flicker]

Go look at some stats, they last super long

[steel umbra]

well, it’s irrelevant if you only mention how clean their electricity is

[deep musk]

or the electricity production if they aren’t using renewable sources

[gilded imp]

it does not have to be

[hexed tapir]

https://www.ndtvprofit.com/world/why-frances-power-prices-tumbled-to-zero-despite-winter-onset-9787888 France's electricity prices plunged to zero for several hours in the day-ahead market, allowing consumers to access free power during that period, according to Epex Spot data. @deep musk

[cold skiff]

I can’t remember the figure but someone told me when I sold cars that EVs coming in were like 5x the emissions over life cycle because electric is charged from natural resources.

[deep musk]

most countries uses non renewable sources

[gilded imp]

natural gas is WAY more eco friendly than gasoline

[stark flicker]

Which is what I said

It depends on the cleanness of the electricity, not every country use oil, gas and coal, we don't, our electricity is clean

But even then, it still makes the EV car cleaner overall across all EU countries, though I don't know about the us, your guys electricity is giga dirty lol

[jovial swan]

My collection grows

[deep musk]

That’s effectively a price deduction, not free electricity

[gilded imp]

most electricity isnt from coal because I dont live in a 3rd world shithole lol

[cerulean comet]

what 😭

[deep musk]

Nicey, mine is composed of around 30 GPUs

[hexed tapir]

Only good thing about France is the bread and nuclear eny

[gilded imp]

nope, you were lied to

[cold skiff]

Where do you live

[steel umbra]

sadly a lot of oil extraction plants still leak it (illegaly) out into the air as byproduct

[gilded imp]

USA

[stark flicker]

That's absolutely false

[cold skiff]

16% of your electricity is coal

[gilded imp]

yep... 16% is less than 51%

[jovial swan]

Nice. Im getting there slowly. Currently fighting 4 auctions of the following cards
GTX 1080 ti FE
Titan X Maxwell
Titan Z
GTX 295X2 (on Danish marketplaces)

[gilded imp]

its less than 16% of MY electricity sources as well, but either way

[steel umbra]

anyways don’t get greenwashed by how electric cars are ecofriendly, they’re not and never will be, mines are incredibly polluting especially the metals that are needed for EVs

[cold skiff]

In the UK we have …. Zero coal stations. I guess I’m the actual one not living in a third world shithole, as you called coal powers countries

[steel umbra]

and combustion vehicles will also never be eco friendly

[stark flicker]

I live in France, we have 3.7% from burning coal/oil/gas

[cold skiff]

Nuclear is the way and always has been

[steel umbra]

but EV net zero co2 is nonesense i don’t know who came up with that

[gilded imp]

literally noone on this plant thinks manufacturing an EV is better for the enviroment then not making one

literally not one person

[cold skiff]

Technically the have is zero co2

[stark flicker]

Yes but even then it's less than ice cars that's all

We know it's not 0, but it is less

[steel umbra]

you’d be surprised

[gilded imp]

obviously making a car makes more pollution than not making a car

[gilded imp]

no I would not, literally noone thinks that

[cold skiff]

Your President. Christ, you’re just loading up that gun for me tonight

[steel umbra]

only if you use the vehicles for more than 5 years

[gilded imp]

?????????

[stark flicker]

Yeah but who buys a car to not use it?

Well I guess if you run into a wall and destroy it... Sure lol

[cold skiff]

Oh you said plant I thought you said planet

[gilded imp]

I can assure you donald trump does not think that making an EV is less polluting than not making an EV

[steel umbra]

you’d be surprised, never say noone

[gilded imp]

noone.

you literally just made up a claim nobody belives and are trying to justify it

[steel umbra]

manufacturers would love to sell you a car every 2-3 years

[gilded imp]

nobody thinks that making an EV will have less polliution then not making an EV

[steel umbra]

they do succeed at times

[cold skiff]

Donald Trump believes global warming is a lie. He has said this so many times. Are you dumb Aquatics?

[hexed tapir]

But power plants are also more efficient than car engines

[gilded imp]

what the literal fuck are you even talking about

[cold skiff]

That is true.

[stark flicker]

But then don't be dumb and don't buy one lol
Also you'll just sell it and the guy who buys it will use it, not like it will go to a landfill after 2y

[gilded imp]

🙄

[cold skiff]

Oh this is golden. We have someone that thinks Donald Trump is an environmentalist.

[gilded imp]

Are you ragebaiting or stupid

[cold skiff]

He wants EVs to make money. Not to save the environment. He’s a businessman.

[gilded imp]

I cant tell

[cold skiff]

You’re the dumb one

[gilded imp]

I dont think hes an enviromentalist, never said that, do you have some mental disorder causing you to hear voices?

[cold skiff]

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/trump-called-climate-change-a-con-job-at-the-united-nations-here-are-the-facts-and-context

[stark flicker]

Yes this is true however lots of people don't think about the manufacturing process thus they think it's 0 pollution because they just haven't thought of it

Nor do they think about pollution from the electricity source

[steel umbra]

well, there are marketing teams to tell you that their new EV with battery saver is 10% more fuel (EV) efficient than their 5 year old model and you should buy it

[cold skiff]

Trump has called global warming a con job, a hoax, false news. To think anything other than he is for EVs for the environment and not for a cash grab makes you ridiculously ill informed

[gilded imp]

what are you even talking about

actually insane

[stark flicker]

Yes but then again the old car won't go to a landfill so it will still be less than an ice over the existence of said car

[gilded imp]

yes most lithium cars will be recycled in the future at this rate but some won’t be (which is incredibily polluting but only a fraction), even when you recycle lithium you won’t be able to extract everything economically and ecologically so you’ll end up mining more anyways unless batteries get more lithium efficieint which is being developed or less people buy cars and more salvage them which could be a thing with recent lower birth rate trends, but it’s not guaranteed the rate recycling is accelerating that most lithium will be recycled

even if your biometrics are leaked, it doesn’t actually help them use your biometrics for anything

[gilded imp]

If youve been outside before you are recorded by cameras, sounds like the solution is not leaving your house

theres also no biometrics taken by tesla

[median warren]

Iroh when are you getting the trump phone

[hexed tapir]

I've been to Lowe's flock cameras have my data

[sharp bramble]

is it bad or is it fine?

[grizzled frost]

never, my iphone 13 is ride or die

[steel umbra]

i’m not saying removing your tesla’s sensors eliminates all of it but reduction is nice or?

[median warren]

What if it dies

[steel umbra]

people love talking about security until it comes to the single greatest attack vector in human history

Dumb phones are the way

[steel umbra]

hmmm my phone is still spying 50% on me

time to burn it in a campfire

[gilded imp]

they dont need some secret covert spying, you literally have a bug on your person at all times

[median warren]

Pigeons are also robots

[hexed tapir]

Can still triangulate your location smh

[median warren]

That were made to spy on people

[steel umbra]

ants are too

it’s definitely the russian work of art micro robots

[median warren]

Government agents also hide inside robot rhinoceroses

[sleek ibex]

birds aren't real

[median warren]

They're not

[steel umbra]

governments secretly work together to spy on the poor ☠️

Nahhhhh 😭😭😭

Stellantis and Land Rover collab

Least reliable product ever made

[steel umbra]

real

citroen died since they stopped making their hydro i forgot what was their suspension called

something

they’re only producing cheap cars now

[gilded imp]

wish I had air suspention

Once my drive train warranty ends I wanna lift my car

its too low, I scrape the shit out of the bottom of my car

and get high centered on beaches

[steel umbra]

they should’ve kept their incredibly dampening suspensions

[gilded imp]

bose was working on a suspention system

[steel umbra]

and never mention the maintenance for those

[gilded imp]

apparently the math for noise canceling and suspension dampening is the same

makes sense I guess, just wave interference

[steel umbra]

interesting

[steel umbra]

i wonder when proper rotary valve engines will hit the market

or if

[gilded imp]

Mazda is doing another rotary engine car

[steel umbra]

though it’s not valve-like

it has some differences

[sonic stag]

Man im so hyped

An AMD/ROCm-adjacent HPC developer reviewed the repo I made and gave positive structural feedback plus concrete portability/reproducibility fixes

[stray portal]

why am i getting driver timeouts

while using chromium apps, edge, yt music pwa, discord

i have rx 7800xt and latest driver version

Yo help

[tulip sparrow]

Does any OEM besides Samsung oput out a "Note" style device with bluetooth for gestures on the pen along with SD card slot?

[stray portal]

Its doing morse code

My pc crashed now 😡

Beeped 3 times then 2 times

[gilded imp]

3 long 2 short beeps?

Hope it’s not your ram

[plain cypress]

Moto has a stylus phone

Bleh

Moto g stylus 2026 is still using A78 cores

[tulip sparrow]

Use to the flagship specs of the samsung devices so yeah

[plain cypress]

Then the note is still in a class of it's own

[tulip sparrow]

So yeah stuck with the Sxx Ultras then

Note is no longer a brand and its been rolled into the S series as the Ultra phone

My current phone is the S22Ultra

[fickle ivy]

Hard drives are so cool and fun

[plain cypress]

The note is dead in name only

[tulip sparrow]

Had a Note 10+ Non 5G before this one

[snow mauve]

my wife had the s22 ultra, its a great phone but had chronic screen issues so i'm pushiung her into s23 ultra

[plain cypress]

Yeah S Ultra

[plain cypress]

One of my favorite phones

[snow mauve]

look on amazon at the reviews between the s22 and s23 and youll see a pattern lol

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure there was a performance issue with the S22 Ultra as well

AKA it may have the SD8Gen 2 but it doesn't perform like other phones with the same SOC

Not a big deal for me as I have since swapped over to my Lenovo Legion Tab with SD8G3 for gaming with its 8.8" 165hz screen and a Telescopic controller

[onyx bluff]

sounds like a skill issue

[tulip sparrow]

Unless Samsung continues riupping out features that made the Note in a class of its own such as missing bluetooth on the S-Pen for gestures

[plain cypress]

I mean the note 10 line was their first axing of the headphone jack, so I guess note has been dead since then

[onyx bluff]

why buy one big expensive reliable disk when a bunch of ewaste will do the same job?

[plain cypress]

And it's just been overpriced S series with a stylus

If you prefer to view it like that

[onyx bluff]

the notes were always a bigger, better version at the half-cycle

6 months of improvements over the S, back when that mattered a lot

[plain cypress]

The note class device has been "de-featured" for longer than it was "feature rich"

[onyx bluff]

the S had a SD801, the Note the 805

[tulip sparrow]

My favorite note is likely the Note 4

[onyx bluff]

? huh?

the note was never "de featured"

[plain cypress]

It began with the Note10

[onyx bluff]

99% of people could get by with a note 4 on a custom rom today, and I stand by

[plain cypress]

32bit soc cringe

You're not getting around that

Also android on 3gb ram is uhhhh, let's not do that again

[tulip sparrow]

Uh hmm lacking headphone jack for starters then the removal of bluetooth from the S-Pen would be a nother step in the wrong direction

[plain cypress]

Also axing SD card

[tulip sparrow]

I got by using the USB-C headphones with the Note 10+ as well as going wireless earbuds after that

[plain cypress]

The last note with "everything and the kitchen sink" was the note 9

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah axing sd slot would be anoither step in the wrong direction

[plain cypress]

Note 7 was the best
Bonus space heater function

[onyx bluff]

ngl all the fire tabs and shit still have meager ram and

[tulip sparrow]

I went Note 3,Note 4, S8 wasn't going for the Note 5 and the Note 8 wasn't out at the time and then went back to the Note 10+ then the S22U

[onyx bluff]

again

for what 99% of people do, one app at a time just... it's fine lmao

[plain cypress]

And those are garbage for user experience

People buy fire tabs because they're $60, not because they're good

[onyx bluff]

have you actually used one or is this just eliteism

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah I had the Fire HDX 8.9" (Apollo) myself and it was a beast of a tablet at release for not much money

[plain cypress]

Not since I worked in retail so haven't touched one since 2021

[tulip sparrow]

Once the HDX line went poof so did I

[onyx bluff]

and no a 2014 Fire HD doesn't count for this discussion. Decade-old devices still meet expectations for normies which is great for the low end because that's what they are

I'm not saying the fire is technically profecient or anything, I'm just saying that for a device that's supposed to have a touchscreen, connect to wifi, and have the ability to play back video... that's what it do, yugi

[plain cypress]

Okay what is a fire max 11 for $250 let's see

[tulip sparrow]

Kept the HDX until the battery went fully belly up and no longer charged and by that time it was like 12 yyears old so good luck getting a battery that would last for any lgenth of time for it so I switched over to the Larger 10.5" Samsung Tab S5e but I have since preplaced that with the Lenovo Legion Tab with SD8G3 8.8"

The 10.5" was a bif to large for me

[onyx bluff]

The fire max is like $180 when it's on sale too

[plain cypress]

Yeah those specs are a hard pass when the basic iPad exists

[onyx bluff]

the fire max has a better screen

by a lot

[tulip sparrow]

I prefer a smaller tablet personally

[onyx bluff]

the base ipads still have a separate digitizer from the LCD. like, there's an air gap 2010 style

no lamination, not even pressed together

[tulip sparrow]

I tend to hold it for like 8+ hours at times when I get sucked into a book for example

[plain cypress]

Oh the air gap. I can only defend it if the glass is replaceable without needing a new lcd

[tulip sparrow]

First ever tablet was a 7" Nook Tablet back int he day

[plain cypress]

Uhhhhh

[tulip sparrow]

The one right after the Nook Color

[plain cypress]

I had a Vizio tablet

Then we got some nook (no idea the model tho) tablets a bit later

Then my first tablet I got to pick out was a Dell venue 8 7000

[tulip sparrow]

Did it have the ring in the corner?

[plain cypress]

Yeah a keychain hole

[gleaming rose]

Got a free year of Google pro with my pixel
Life is good

[plain cypress]

Or whatever it was for

[gleaming rose]

And 3 free months of YouTube premium

[steel umbra]

LG

[gleaming rose]

rest in peace

[tulip sparrow]

like this? https://www.amazon.com/Newbies-Guide-NOOK-Color-Beginners-ebook/dp/B0069A2IQO

Nook Color and Nook Tablet were the onlyt 2 to have the ring in the corner

[plain cypress]

Dell venue 8 7000
iPad 6th gen
Samsung Galaxy tab S7
iPad air (4th gen)

The latter 2 I am still using

[steel umbra]

no mor ads legally

[plain cypress]

Was the one without color in its name B/W? Mine definitely had color

It was also laggy as shit

[tulip sparrow]

Nook Color was their first android tablet

the Nook Tablet was the second

If it was a B/W Nook ity would have been a e-reader and not a tablet

[hushed musk]

Yo I’m quite new to this server I just joined and I wanted to get myself a first setup with an asus rog astral GeForce rtx 5090 a r7 9800x3d a watercooler 4TB ssd and 64GB RAM in total and I wanted some opinions on this

[plain cypress]

I think it was one of these

Maybe the HD+

[tulip sparrow]

If the hole was fully round then the HD+ otherwise it was the Tablet

[plain cypress]

It was so long ago, I haven't seen the device in 12 years

I want to say it was the HD+

[plain cypress]

I'm like 70% confident it was the HD+

[tulip sparrow]

ok

[plain cypress]

Tablets:
Nook hd+
Venue 8 7000

[steel umbra]

get a gt 1010, i3-8100f, no cooler, 128gb ssd, 350mb hdd and 3gb ram

[tulip sparrow]

The F?

[snow mauve]

oof thats old lol

[snow mauve]

ISA video card

[tulip sparrow]

I don't think those parts are fully compataible to begin with

[snow mauve]

he be trollin you topken

[tulip sparrow]

breaking my brain with that list

[steel umbra]

i success

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah that 35mb hdd isn't going to work unless theres an adapter of some sort out that will alow it to

[steel umbra]

what about the no cooler and 3gb ram

[snow mauve]

even my packard bell 486 dx2-66 had a 107mb hd

[tulip sparrow]

I just figured stock coolor and does ddr4 come in 3gb sticks?

[snow mauve]

i dint think i've seen anything less than an 8gb stick in ages

3gb only sounds cool if it was the only other non 1gb option at the time lol

[tulip sparrow]

My old i5 3570k has 4x4gb sticks onboard

[snow mauve]

like being the only guy on the block with dual channel isdn and then dsl comes out lol

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure DDR4 comes in 4gb sticks

Current system is 4x8GB for 32gb total on my 5800x3d so I ain't using them lol

[steel umbra]

you can do ddr3 sticks in 3x1gb or 1gb and 2gb if you get the right rare motherboard

[tulip sparrow]

8gb sticks for ddr5 are rare I do believe

most kits are 2x16gb or higher

[steel umbra]

technically you can make everything i said runnable together but good luck finding all of the parts and the adapter

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure a "Dell" would have most of it minus the adapter LOL

[steel umbra]

nuuuu

[unborn oyster]

how bad is it that i tore a hole here in my headphones

[odd marsh]

It’s not great
