[merry stirrup]

and yeah just spam every power saving feature in the bios

[green marsh]

my server once was i5-6400

[hoary hatch]

65W TDP but that's presumably boost TDP

[merry stirrup]

surely more efficient than am5

[merry stirrup]

boost+igpu included fun fact

[topaz veldt]

My server was once an E5649

[hoary hatch]

True no display is connected and I doubt it boosting

[topaz veldt]

before that it was like an E5540

[merry stirrup]

my server is a 2690v4

[hoary hatch]

I don't recall if I looked for any low power profiles in the bios
There probably isn't anything

[topaz veldt]

https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/xeon-e5540.c918

[hoary hatch]

But I can probably disable turbo boost

[wise bear]

Who needs efficiency when you're tanking back 450w at idle :3

[merry stirrup]

one third of a space heater at idle

i am scared

[topaz veldt]

thats like 2/3 of my XTX power

[merry stirrup]

deadass

[wise bear]

and yet my power bill is ittybitty

[merry stirrup]

well yeah we live in oregon

[topaz veldt]

mine was... not itty

[merry stirrup]

and thats not how energy works

[green marsh]

(it was inside a cabinet on a drawer . The mini PC on the left side was the router, J1900)

[hoary hatch]

Is this Kill-a-watt brand?

[merry stirrup]

i fink so

[wise bear]

yeah!

[wise bear]

innit great

[merry stirrup]

bwaaah

[hoary hatch]

They make wireless monitors? TIL

[wise bear]

no its got a wire

[merry stirrup]

pranked

[hoary hatch]

✂️

[wise bear]

(P3 is kill-a-watt btw)

[topaz veldt]

@wise bear

[wise bear]

Jesus fuck I think my last bill was $45

[topaz veldt]

lol

[frank zealot]

that's more than my car payment

[hoary hatch]

Do you not have AC?

[green marsh]

to be fair, this is server + desktop + monitors + switches + printer + KVMs + whatever

200W at night because tdarr is still transcoding on CPU

[devout ridge]

my whole rack uses less than that under light load

[hoary hatch]

Everything is more than my car payment

[wise bear]

in the 4mo I've lived here my office setup has drawn $75 worth of electricity

[devout ridge]

my UPS says i use about 1usd of power per day

7.5kwh/day

[wise bear]

killawatt says I use about $.63/day

[topaz veldt]

😐

[hoary hatch]

No idea what my electric bill is

[topaz veldt]

We don't look at those sorts of metrics round here

[wise bear]

:3

[devout ridge]

idk what electricity is per kwh here, so i’m just using the US avg

[wise bear]

I do, it's even central air!

[devout ridge]

(i don’t pay for my own electricity, my parents do)

[hoary hatch]

$45/month with AC running is impressive

In Arizona one summer I remember getting a $600+ electric bill

For June or July

[green marsh]

you can't figure that out ? Is it like renting and not knowing who your supplier is, or just being lazy to find out ? 😄

[devout ridge]

My parents pay the utilities

[wise bear]

I don't remember but I might be on an average payment system

[brisk jolt]

What the f-

[green marsh]

mom is paying 200 euros a month every month; but that is because here we pretty much pre-pay fixed amount every month and then at end of year they do a summary and ask for or return the difference. 200 euros a month because they are heating with electricity

i pay like 70 euros a month and they usually return some (20-50 euros) at the end of the year

[frank zealot]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OlbGUQzBobg
This is... ummmm

[wise bear]

Oh no no my b folks I was staring at the wrong month- last months power was $82

[vestal granite]

here its some stupid dumb shit that some stupid dumb shit made where I pay a membership fee to my power company

so i can vote on power things

[hoary hatch]

When I was in Arizona we had pretty high electric bills April-October

[vestal granite]

i get 1 vote

[hoary hatch]

But our winter bills were fairly cheap

In Oregon, at my old apartment, we had high winter bills cause it was only electric heat and I was not used to being cold yet

At the current place we have gas heat and our winter bills aren't too bad

[topaz veldt]

I am come to terms, long ago, that all my bills are extreme

[hoary hatch]

The summer is a bit high cause we run the AC 24/7

[wise bear]

cheap as shiiiiit

[green marsh]

as i said, instead we choose/have assigned monthly fees to pay, and then at the end it is compared to actual consumption, you are asked to pay the difference or get paid if you overpaid, and new monthly fee is set (you can change it of course, but it is good to be withing +/-1 monthly fee in difference)

[brisk jolt]

My bills probably dont even hold a candle to 5nail’s

[topaz veldt]

that's generation prob, but there's transmission also

[vestal granite]

this is an interesting one - are your bills for your 25 homes a significant percentage of your income

[hoary hatch]

If I showed this to PGE they'd probably raise the rates another 40%

[brisk jolt]

Not only does he have multiple 5090s, he spends 5070 money a month

[wise bear]

that's subscriber usage costs

[topaz veldt]

I mean... when I live in a place then the bills go up

[green marsh]

this is btw why i don't understand how happy in US people are that they get 'tax returns'. That is not free money, that literally means you were borrowing money to the govt for free 😄

[topaz veldt]

Yes, that is not a mystery

[vestal granite]

yeah but it comes back

you thought it was gone but now its not gone so its happiness

[merry stirrup]

because we have no choice and its a nice lump sum of money that people otherwise not have

[teal orbit]

it feels like free money because you never got to hold it before

[wise bear]

the irs is like a shitty bank that's ran by the cat in a hat

[topaz veldt]

People like tax returns because they then have more removed from their paycheck, they live within those means, and then its a nice surprise that money is returned

[green marsh]

and where is the 3-10% interest ? 😄

[teal orbit]

you get interest if the tax return gets delayed

[topaz veldt]

you have a choice - you can adjust your withholdings so you owe $0 and get $0

[wise bear]

"confirmed excellent stability" zzzzzzzzzz

[merry stirrup]

yeah made me giggle but still a unicorn nonetheless

[green marsh]

meanwhile i will have a crappy february salary, because i will have to pay extra "unexpected" taxes because my salary increased this month

[shell void]

bench stable maybe, nowhere near confirming daily use stability

[merry stirrup]

yea

7200 1:1 is absurd

[shell void]

yeah idk how they found a chip that would even bench at that

[wise bear]

they asked lisa su really nicely for the golden bin

[merry stirrup]

had 6 guys locked in a room

[turbid locust]

Yeah that’s what I said lmao

[merry stirrup]

"bin or die"

[merry stirrup]

and thats what they did

[vestal granite]

they died

[merry stirrup]

5/6ths only one stayed alive

[frank zealot]

If AMD keeps AM4/5 cooler compatibility on AM6:

they have better not fuck it up like on Ryzen 7000's oven cpu's

[shell void]

ryzen 9000 temps are good so im not worried about that

[merry stirrup]

i agree let me push my am5 cpu to like 350w without ridiculous methods

[vestal granite]

cant wait for Ryzen 9 11900K

[frank zealot]

might just be ryzen 10 (Still haven't heard of new APUs yet)

[slate forum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csOHtaYEwWw DCS is very RAM hungry but setting a big pre-allocated pagefile makes 32 GB of RAM more than viable

[wise bear]

no god just let windows handle it this is so outdated for dcs

Also bruh you're scrolled hard back if that's the first thing you see in chat

[vestal granite]

nah i think theyll just fuck it up. Ryzen 91 1900X

[slate forum]

It is not. The default Windows algorithm for choosing what size to set is SUPER bad

[slate forum]

And yeah I don't go here often

[wise bear]

Fun fact, it expands as needed.

[brisk jolt]

i wouldnt be surprised if they copy intel’s naming scheme again

[vestal granite]

if youre a company, make sure you just fuck up your naming schemes every once in a while to make people forget you make products to be purchased

[slate forum]

Only to a certain maximum. Oftentimes one too small.

And if you are full up on space, it won't expand

[vestal granite]

i still dont know what intels new CPUs are called i just know its ultra something i forget if i dont check once a day

[frank zealot]

if you consistently push the limits of 32gb?

The proper answer is upgrade to 48 or 64GB

[merry stirrup]

i think that applies anyways then mane

no space=no space to expand limit to page file

[wise bear]

so just set your preload radius to like 15k & ground textures to low

[slate forum]

Of course, but a solution that's good enough that costs nothing is always good

[merry stirrup]

a constant

[frank zealot]

Core Ultra 200 series

245k 265k 285k

[shell void]

mental

0.1% lows higher than most reviewers' averages

[slate forum]

Ground textures and cockpit textures are on the same option I thought?

[wise bear]

no?..

[merry stirrup]

i see what i need for 360hz

[vestal granite]

see theres my problem cause they all end with 5 and that seems unnecessary to me its so much harder for me to memorize

[shell void]

just gotta get a unicorn bin 9950x3d and direct die mora cool it

[merry stirrup]

AND 5090

[frank zealot]

no idea why either

[merry stirrup]

lil uzi vert I LOVE YOU

[slate forum]

Ah nope you're right. Regardless, I'd rather just tweak a system setting and have it work fine than have to lower my in-game settings when I don't otherwise need to

[merry stirrup]

the 70ti can wait....

[wise bear]

If you're gonna spread the "adjust your pagefile" nonsense at least tell people to not put it on their boot drive if it's under 1tb

[brisk jolt]

I need myself some airpods pro 3

[merry stirrup]

VALUE!!

[wise bear]

the biggest /s ever

[merry stirrup]

yknow its almost worth purchasing

[arctic bronze]

what if the S was an L

[shell void]

the more practical solution would be 9800x3d + delid + relid and use LF3 Pro

[slate forum]

It is far from nonsense, and this really don't matter. They can choose how much space they want to allocate.

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[wise bear]

My point being that heavy pagefile usage puts unneeded wear on the drive- putting it on something like a 2tb ssd means that it's got wear leveling for days

[merry stirrup]

grilled coars lets go

[snow dirge]

I recently bought a gigabyte 4080 and a cooler master 850 w. My gpu and everything else is currently in but I only have 2 pcie cables for the gpu. The gpu comes with an adapter but it takes 3 cables and I only have two.

[merry stirrup]

it needs 1.4v 4ghz

[brisk jolt]

ur first mistake was not checking the PSU
your 2nd mistake was buying a CM psu

[slate forum]

I don't think the swappiness changes much if at all when you manually set a big pagefile. It's doing it anyway, system managed or not.

All manually allocating really does is expand the maximum, not increase how much it is done in the first place.

[snow dirge]

Thanks!!

[quick kernel]

edit: yeah was about the new ssd i had gotten
i dont think i was referring to ur build ngl

[wise bear]

I don't think you understand what pagefile actually is dude

when your physical ram gets geaten up all the little bits from everything else get dumped to that pagefile, creating a bunch of writes on your nand.

[vestal granite]

e cores should be called light cores

cores, light.

[merry stirrup]

i like bigLITTLE

[slate forum]

Yes, and that happens whether you go in and set it manually or not.

Windows pages by default

[wise bear]

I know, My point being is if you're going to tell people to set a manual pagefile, don't put it on a tiny fuckin' boot drive

Because that also eats however big of a space you set

[slate forum]

If it's all they have, it's fine. It's no worse than the default is what I'm saying.

[wise bear]

32gb pagefile? 32gb eaten up on the ssd

[frank cypress]

just buy moar ram

A lot of DCS players aren't the most tech-savvy so you really need to be wary on how you explain technical shit like this

[merry stirrup]

i am so trying this out

[green marsh]

why is he asking pretty much the price of working used CPU ?

[frank cypress]

neat

[green marsh]

but then ebay is full of stupid listings:

Units are not fully functional - drives make loud noise and are not recognized. Units are in good physical condition - damage to pins on connection port area, small shallow dents, scuffs/scratches (see pictures).

why would someone try to sell broken hard drives, for $200+ ?

[wise bear]

salvageable platters for another drive

I wonder how a modern 4tb drive would behave if you stuck some old-ass wd caviar 500gb drive platters in it

inb4 hdd platters are DRM protected

[vestal granite]

since when is there a borderlands 4 coming out

[wise bear]

First I'm hearing of it

[vestal granite]

comes out in like 3 weeks

[wise bear]

????

[vestal granite]

september 12th

[wise bear]

just fucking sneak launching bl4??

[vestal granite]

i only found it because i got an ad on my phone

[edgy laurel]

I skipped out BF6 beta gameplay time yesterday and played Borderlands 3 instead. Realized how much I missed that so BL4 timing is great

[green marsh]

it was announced months ago ?

[vestal granite]

by who

oh they want $70 for it i think this ones another wait-until-its-$5-on-sale type thing for me

[merry stirrup]

gearbox...

[green marsh]

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/borderlands/borderlands-4-is-releasing-over-a-week-earlier-than-expected-because-the-game-is-awesome-the-team-is-cooking-and-its-own-dedicated-state-of-play-is-coming-up-imminently/

[merry stirrup]

they even announced they were going to release it early cause of how well development went

[vestal granite]

trick question gearbox isnt the publisher theyre the developer its 2K who announced it hahahaha

[green marsh]

and nearly a year ago at Gamescom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q8WImF649E

[wise bear]

save the semantics for the semantics competition e.b. white

[vestal granite]

should be straightforward for them to develop, its probably the same exact game again just with a new story and thats how i like it

[green marsh]

i mean sure, they aren't Bethesda or Rockstar, who announces something and then it comes out half a decade later

Gearbox usually announces stuff whent hey are rather far in the development

[vestal granite]

what do you mean half a decade

[wise bear]

fo4 was like 8mo from announce to release

same w/ 3 iirc

[vestal granite]

elder scrolls 6 was announced in June 2018 and itll be released in June 2028 (delayed to Feb. 2029)

now, if we just remember i said that in 2028 and confirm that would be great

[green marsh]

GTA6 was announced in February 2022. We are 3.5 years from that. Will launch in May 2026 (if all goes well), which is 4 years. Nearly half a decade. PC will be 1-2 more years after that

[vestal granite]

im thinking more like 70% of a decade

[wise bear]

I thought gta6 was getting an immediate pc release alongside consoles

[green marsh]

hahahahaha. No

[vestal granite]

they have not confirmed or denied this

they have just not mentioned PC at all is the thing

[green marsh]

Which is exactly how GTA5 was. PC was 2 years later

well 1.5 years, but close enough

[odd mantle]

quite late reply but thanks lmao

[vestal granite]

the PC market is much larger now than it was back then though so they might be incentivized to release it sooner

[wise bear]

yeah, full maxed

[spiral quarry]

ah of course

[merry stirrup]

need more than 5 gigahertz

[green marsh]

isn't the whole point of using tailscale for most that you don't have to have a server with public IP to handle connection between your systems without public IP ?

[teal orbit]

I think for most people its the convenience and automatic-ness

[green marsh]

which mostly comes down to what i said - that the nodes just work, without need to have a control server on public ip which punches through NAT layers

[hoary hatch]

Why do I even bother

I see you're using squiggle out of squiggle ram

Discord plz make embed better

[wise bear]

let the image load fully you goober

Tensor G5 leaks

[wise bear]

tensor on intel arm

[hoary hatch]

Uhhh, not much faster than G4

Buuuuuuut, we know nothing about energy use

[wise bear]

I want arm + npu

[hoary hatch]

So if the G5 is significantly more efficient than G4 while offering a little more performance I won't be upset

Hopefully Qualcomm modem

I don't have any performance issues with the Samsung modem but some people do and in general I suspect Qualcomm models should be better for battery

[wise bear]

inb4 intel goes into modems

wait didnt they already

[hoary hatch]

They sold that to apple

And we saw apples first modem this year

I think the general assumption is they threw away Intel's modem designs and bought the division mostly for the patents

[wise bear]

Huh, neat

[spare tinsel]

is this a good/bad ssd

[edgy laurel]

Need a decent secondary/side monitor and have a Costco membership?

[edgy laurel]

used to go to Sams club with my mom when I was a kid, so I have an idea (plus there are no shortage of videos these days)

[pallid marsh]

You never had a $1.50 hotdog in store?!

[wise bear]

in costco nobody has self-awareness and there are constant traffic jams because of stupid people

[edgy laurel]

never

[wise bear]

the parking sucks always

and the hot dog is legendary

[edgy laurel]

I've always heard the food in general is good

[shell void]

i have only been inside once

[steel stream]

5070 Ti is here, but I am sick and have been in bed all day

[frank zealot]

I mean, Costco looks like a Walmart, only with bigger packages of stuff

[edgy laurel]

(also get better soon)

[frank cypress]

I mean id never say no to a BJ

[wise bear]

Oh lord

[frank cypress]

[steel stream]

Much appreciated

[frank zealot]

What about a Walton family BJs?

[frank cypress]

praying to patty g for your speedy recovery

[wise bear]

dude and you get massive weiners for $1.50, like they spill out of the bun at both ends nearly 2 inches

[frank cypress]

idk who they are so id rather have a Costco dog

[frank cypress]

[edgy laurel]

Yeah, and it died on me 12 hours later. - @shell void

[frank cypress]

its 1.50 cad

[wise bear]

whAT

[frank cypress]

its wild how cheap it is

[steel stream]

food court is goated

[frank cypress]

Costco hotdogs my goat

[steel stream]

Cheese pizza slice + strawberyy sundae is one of my favorite meals

[wise bear]

Costco dogs are honestly the best

[frank cypress]

they have Montreal smoked meat sandwiches here now

but idk, doesnt hit the same

[wise bear]

and their new smaller muffins are fucking awesome

[frank cypress]

the hotdogs too good

[edgy laurel]

so are these bigger than your traditional american hot dog?

[wise bear]

yes

[pallid marsh]

And we never have enough checkout lines

[frank cypress]

they just take one of those ciabatta buns and stuff them with smoked meat

[wise bear]

My sister & I immediately go for a hotdog before shopping every time we go to costco

[frank zealot]

Walton Family, they own Wal Mart and BJs
Shitty scumbag multi-billionaire family

[frank cypress]

oh

Costco easily

sweedyballs are good too

[frank cypress]

have you tried their pear juice soda?

[wise bear]

but the costco dog is better

[edgy laurel]

no, but i totally will next time

[hoary hatch]

Yeah they sold it to apple in 2019

[frank cypress]

yeah it's actually pretty good

[hoary hatch]

Blocked

[wise bear]

[frank cypress]

I feel like id smell like a Starbucks drink after applying this

[edgy laurel]

"different" sodas i always have to try, and I don't drink soda normally.

[hoary hatch]

It's been real guilty but that the kind of betrayal I can never forget nor forgive

[wise bear]

gobbless kirkland, wa

[edgy laurel]

you act like its intentional!

[wise bear]

at this rate it probably is

[frank cypress]

the only canned beverage I will fiend for is Arizona ice tea tbh

[hoary hatch]

I find it a personal attack

[shell void]

[frank cypress]

fucking love that shit

[frank zealot]

the ikea ciders?

[frank cypress]

yeah

[frank zealot]

looks like they're discontinued. Too bad, I really liked em

[frank cypress]

the fizzy ones

[steel stream]

fuck 5070 ti got rid of my hdr profile :(

[wraith steeple]

Costco Pizza is shockingly good for what it is

[frank cypress]

WHAT

[steel stream]

it's so goodddddd

[edgy laurel]

speaking of canned iced tea. you know "Brisk"?

[frank cypress]

yeah we have that

[hoary hatch]

Wait, as in BJs the sports bar?

[edgy laurel]

I haven't had one in many years but what is it about canned Brisk that you can just chug the whole can in seconds

[frank zealot]

BJs as in the Costco competitor

[wraith steeple]

Hard to believe that it's cafeteria Pizza too

[hoary hatch]

... Sam's club?

[steel stream]

imo top 10 slices in the sites

[hoary hatch]

As in Sam walton

[frank cypress]

I think Arizona feels more refreshing

but brisk is aight

[hoary hatch]

Is there some kind of niche east coast Costco competitor

[frank cypress]

trader Joe?

[edgy laurel]

you know whats kinda funny, all three came out in 1983/84

[steel stream]

i think it would be BJS

[frank zealot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk4sJU2jlyc

[edgy laurel]

why so close together, what happened in 83/84

[wise bear]

the 80s were wild mang

[edgy laurel]

no, i was not born yet

[wraith steeple]

We have Sam's, BJ's, and Costco on the same side of the street in my area

[wise bear]

dude the traffic must fucking suck

holy hell

[wraith steeple]

Not only that...

[shell void]

i only have “quick” access to BJs so i’m biased

[wraith steeple]

Chick-fil-A, Walmart, Meijer, Five Guys..... It's painful

akn probably knows exactly which street I'm talking about

[edgy laurel]

I've been meaning to go to Five Guys. People complain about the prices but have you ordered a large combo from your normal chain fast food joints recently? They're all fucking expensive.

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

i have all 3

[pallid marsh]

$4 red baron frozen pizza is better imo

[wraith steeple]

Rush Hour I sometimes cry in traffic due to how bad it gets

[steel stream]

damn MFG 3x is great

[pure garnet]

did you cover up lucky the dragon

[steel stream]

not yet

[steel stream]

is there anyway to change the RGB without using MSI bullshit or am I shit out of luck

[pure garnet]

i installed mystic light, set my rgb, then uninstalled it

and it has stuck since

[steel stream]

thank fuck

[wraith steeple]

Also the city is trying to make my location a downtown area as it's going to demolish the mall and make it more touristy...... So it will definitely get worse than it already is

[hoary hatch]

They own 2 warehouse retailer brands? Wild

Unless they're really the same thing and y'all don't have Sam's club there

[steel stream]

sams club is just walmart but nicer

[frank zealot]

nope, you're right.
Sam's is wally world, BJs is separate. (And we honestly don't havee a lot of Sam's around here)

[hoary hatch]

I can't say I've ever ordered a large combo from a fast food place

[pallid marsh]

Wendy's 4 for 4$

[steel stream]

taco bell luxe combo box is slept on

[pallid marsh]

Making it medium is $5 😢

[pure garnet]

i used to but i downloaded the apps and now it's cheaper to order random stuff

like a 10 piece meal is like $11 but with the app i get 12 nuggets and fries for $5

my goat lucky the dragon made an appearance in the new scrapyard wars episode

[hoary hatch]

I usually get a basic burrito and maybe throw in a taco from the bell

If it's a burger/sandwich place, I often just get the sandwich

Although I do like a deluxe sandwich

[merry stirrup]

a hwat

from where my brother

[frank zealot]

dan ends up looking absolutely unhinged in this video

it's fuckin HILARIOUS

[wise bear]

he looks like hes about to rip a fat bowl

[vestal granite]

i went to a taco bell for the first time since probably 2020

[frank zealot]

hilarious, I had taco hell for lunch! lol

[vestal granite]

i saw a twitch advertisement for $3 grilled steak burritos and they looked good it was mid and it was $4 not $3

the chalupa thing i got was good though i liked it

[shell void]

@edgy laurel

[vestal granite]

ok it was the cheesy street steak chalupas that was good i enjoyed that it was kinda not healthy at all and i felt it t hough

[shell void]

my glorious king jensen signed a 5090 in his kitchen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuJFzmVmm-c

[vestal granite]

i wonder where his kitchen is

what he making

is that cheese and olives

[keen wigeon]

Jensen and his doggos 🙂

[edgy laurel]

Lotta people will like this. Frankly I’m not sure where I’d use it.

[vestal granite]

he needs a better cutting board

to be quite honest

like im sure its good quality looks like good wood u know but that shit aint oiled and its cramped he needs a bigger cutting board its making me claustrophobic

[keen wigeon]

Oh shit Black State!

🤤

[vestal granite]

also i bet they only cut up the cheese and olives and stuff to get the dogs into the kitchen

hes not a real cheese and olive enjoyer that jar was clearly just opened and he didnt take the obligatory first olive out to test and eat it

[frank zealot]

it only gets worse:

[spiral quarry]

lol almost done with the extras. He creating the fire

[sharp heart]

ARCH?

[hoary hatch]

I mean with all the toppings

Ya know how fast food places charge extra for lettuce/onion/tomato or whatever on a chicken sandwich?

[pallid marsh]

[shell void]

that pc case has so much aura

[fringe vigil]

500 bruhh

they must be very very high end?

[frank cypress]

looking clean af

[edgy laurel]

fuck yes. also get on those speaker stands pronto

[edgy laurel]

excuse me sir you are clipping at 1000nits

[frank cypress]

does it make that much of a difference?

[edgy laurel]

it can, ideally they'd be at ear height and also surface reflection can make things sound off

[frank cypress]

ahhhhh

ill probably go buy some when I eventually get around to buying some better speakers then

[edgy laurel]

I wanted Kanto SP6's in black but $100 was too much

these

but I ended up with these

[frank cypress]

goddamn

[edgy laurel]

akn you might have said before but is that just a kitchen tabe?

[topaz veldt]

Bro I could make those for $25

[frank cypress]

kitchen tables are kinda goated

they're nice and deep and wide

[edgy laurel]

well I can't!

[edgy laurel]

yeah, it works wel

[topaz veldt]

Buy a hacksaw and glue and start already!

[edgy laurel]

well, I could if I had the space and tools

[frank zealot]

Plywood, 2x4, Table Saw, Sander, Router. (And some foam for sound/vibration deadening)

I could easily make that.

[merry stirrup]

ohhhhh ohhh

yeah im recently more down to fuck up a loaded sando

[frank cypress]

ahhh reminds me of a place I've been meaning to try

[merry stirrup]

Do tell

[brave panther]

3d printer and 200g of filament
i could easily make that

[frank cypress]

they serve those Korean sandwiches that you see on Instagram n shit

Deep AF desk the goal? Yes. So many.

[steel stream]

[merry stirrup]

yo thats a desk fr

i need a genine entire conference room as my desk

[edgy laurel]

that particular one they're asking $800 but some are ike $50 just please come and get it

[fringe vigil]

How much were yours

[steel stream]

I got them for $500

[fringe vigil]

wtf

they better be sound really good

[steel stream]

gah damn

[steel stream]

yeah they're pretty good, I think they are a tad close to the wall but they are nice

[edgy laurel]

jorj in the world of powered monitors, thats just above entry level price wise

[fringe vigil]

Entry level tf

for that price I expect at least mid-high range

[edgy laurel]

look at all that potential desk space

[merry stirrup]

thats very nice even as a normal desk instead of a kitchen table lol

[steel stream]

triple 42" could become a reality

[steel stream]

audio tech pricing gets insane quick

[edgy laurel]

not even close.

[shell void]

need a desk so big that a 55" G5 doesnt look ridiculous

[steel stream]

the dream life

[edgy laurel]

Yes

[shell void]

i wonder if that guy that had three 42" C2s is still using them all

[edgy laurel]

I would be

[fringe vigil]

for that price i better be hearing every clank and echo of the mfs

ridiculous, i bet you wouldn't tell any difference with a 100$ speakers

[shell void]

he deleted his account so we cant know

[fringe vigil]

dont clown me

[steel stream]

so peak

[fringe vigil]

what could u really hear better from 1K speakers please enlighten me

[edgy laurel]

ignoring the fact that he has no speakers, this is so good

[edgy laurel]

this is one of those things that its a waste of time to try and convince you of through a discord chat

[fringe vigil]

please tell

[pale beacon]

You see the amp? 🤯

[edgy laurel]

one day, right place at the right time you'll truly good audio and you'll get it

[steel stream]

and the light bar

[fringe vigil]

imagine those speakers and playing BF 6 Campaign

[shell void]

there is no $100 pair of speakers that can come even remotely close to matching the response linearity and dispersion of genelec monitors

if there was id be telling everyone to buy it

[edgy laurel]

Need these built to order no price tag Genelec's

[steel stream]

bro whatttttt

[shell void]

that's just greedy

[brave panther]

get electrostatic speakers built instead

[edgy laurel]

sweetwater has the goods

[shell void]

oh nice a starter home priced audio setup

[edgy laurel]

I'm willing to bet that's $500k+, if not absurdly more

[steel stream]

using upward firing speakers (I assume) for Atmos, tsk tsk tsk

[edgy laurel]

its for studio use, they'll just be mounted on rigs firing any way you want them to fire

[shell void]

nah not quite that much

5 figures not 6

[steel stream]

oh true

[edgy laurel]

the potential price of those two mains

[edgy laurel]

they offer this without the big boys

[shell void]

youd be looking at like $100K not $500K

still hilarious nonetheless

[steel stream]

i'll be starting a GoFundMe

[edgy laurel]

Oh, ok so Genelec doing the cheap stuff. We can do better!

[shell void]

yes i need 20Hz at 126dB it's absolutely essential

[edgy laurel]

I was recently in a new theater to see F1. What blew me away was the sound

I missed my calling. Live / performance sound engineer would be so cool

[steel stream]

audio stuff is just so cool

love having friends over and introducing them to a proper atmos setup with the samsung soundbar

[fringe vigil]

someone suggest really high end speakers that wont break bank

[steel stream]

michael recommended me a $300 pair the other day, let me see if I can find them

[edgy laurel]

har har

[fringe vigil]

jbl or adam v audios

[edgy laurel]

those are brands, not speakers

[fringe vigil]

[steel stream]

I'd go for the speakers michael and I linked, their measurements are fantastic

[fringe vigil]

tree fiddy is abit too much maybe in future

[steel stream]

fair enough

[fringe vigil]

actually maybe when i get oled

[steel stream]

get yo money up and not yo funny up

[fringe vigil]

nah i could get it but dont really care about audio rn

[steel stream]

fair enough

damn even MFG 4X feels good

[edgy laurel]

so 4070 to 5070Ti and MFG

yeah i'm sure that feels pretty good

[steel stream]

it's pretty sweet man

but RDR2 is acting weird

[edgy laurel]

DDU looking at you like its time

that's a tomorrow problem

[edgy laurel]

anyone else watch episode 2 of scrapyard wars?

[teal orbit]

speaker users when they have to worry about the room

[edgy laurel]

why does Canada always seems to have these cool stores. This Openbox.ca store looks like a dream

[steel stream]

I <3 my speakers

[teal orbit]

I don't have any speakers

[teal orbit]

This looks exactly like a Costco

[edgy laurel]

missing out

[teal orbit]

is expensive to get decent ones

[fringe vigil]

just buy 100 dollar ones

[edgy laurel]

yes but those are brand new, not deeply discounted

[teal orbit]

so I just buy iems

[fringe vigil]

my edifiers were like 120

[edgy laurel]

don't buy $100 speakers

[teal orbit]

I have zero faith they sound good

[fringe vigil]

what hes gonna spend 900

on speakers that prob sound the same as mine

[teal orbit]

no I'm gonna spend $100 on iems instead because I'm a cheapskate

[edgy laurel]

jorj, do you ever think "huh, I'm not really experienced in this field, maybe I don't know everything so I should probably just be quiet about it"

[steel stream]

i'd be here all the time

[teal orbit]

[edgy laurel]

you like this format, don't you

[teal orbit]

No

i've not been able to get NVApp to note the update

but there is a new driver too, i guess i'll have to do that

580.97 didn't look that important so I didn't bother yet

[shell void]

beta tomorrow, mainline release in a week

[edgy laurel]

oh fair. that makes more sense since I usually get nvapp updates immediately

[fringe vigil]

for something I care little about

do u know what my current rig is

[teal orbit]

Unfortunately I care about your speakers

[fringe vigil]

no so shut your Minecraft ass up

[shell void]

yeah it's last gen stuff

[teal orbit]

Minecraft is literally the best

[shell void]

and you still havent bought the c5

[teal orbit]

I think everyone here can confirm this

[fringe vigil]

I’m buying c5 winter

[shell void]

nvidia stat overlay getting more info, and the global dlss override will be nice

slowly making third party programs pointless

[edgy laurel]

yeah i saw that, real neat

[teal orbit]

jorj's current rig: i7-4170

[edgy laurel]

we're just.. so spoiled with overlay options at the moment

[shell void]

i cant see myself going back to radeon even if their next flagship has more raw compute power than the 6090 tbh

nvidia featureset is too vast

[edgy laurel]

been saying that for years

back in 2020 people loved to hate Nvidia. They still do but like the amount of people doing the "why not AMD" when asking about a GPU was crazy

[teal orbit]

What do you mean like an overlay on the GPU itself? Or just built into the nvidia experience app

[fringe vigil]

5090, 9800x3D

[edgy laurel]

Alt-R OSD

[shell void]

it's a resource and framerate/time monitor that is included with the nvidia app

[edgy laurel]

4090, not a 5090

[teal orbit]

bro bought a 5090 but thinks $100 speakers are the peak of audio

[shell void]

he doesnt have a 5090

[teal orbit]

this is so based

[shell void]

he also doesnt have a nice display

[fringe vigil]

4090*

[teal orbit]

amd users praying their display will render today

[edgy laurel]

peasant tier 4090

[edgy laurel]

you did it again

[fringe vigil]

I know that Minecraft guy plays on a 2014 laptop

[teal orbit]

:supershocked:

[shell void]

yeah nvidia app is actually good

[teal orbit]

actually that was a different format

[fringe vigil]

Are you dumb

[shell void]

geforce experience was a meme and got brutally shat on by amd adrenalin

[fringe vigil]

FE is the premium

[teal orbit]

I need a nice display. Maybe that's a better investment than audio

[fringe vigil]

Get that moni up first

[shell void]

you need an asus rog strix oled xg32ucwmg

[edgy laurel]

50% of the experience

[shell void]

it'll just be a cool $1100+tax in october

[teal orbit]

time to buy the alienware one on rtings that's at the top for editing

4k 240 hz

[teal orbit]

32" too big

[shell void]

🥀

[teal orbit]

everything these days is 4k 240

[edgy laurel]

if presented with too small a desk for 32" monitor, the desk gets bigger, the display doesn't get smaller

[fringe vigil]

Bro buying all of that to play Minecraft what a clown

[teal orbit]

Who said I was gonna play Minecraft on it

[fringe vigil]

💀

[shell void]

qd oled is a meme though 🥀

[fringe vigil]

Clown

[teal orbit]

this monitor is going purely for my blog editing

[fringe vigil]

What you blogging

[edgy laurel]

you're slowly learning what its like interacting with jorj

[teal orbit]

oh is qd oled supposed to be bad

[shell void]

pros and cons

[edgy laurel]

(we've been doing it for 3+ years)

[teal orbit]

images

[shell void]

it has pure color and infinite viewing angles, but it loses contrast when room light hits the screen

[teal orbit]

oh that's not good because my room is extremely bright now

[shell void]

yeah i would not get a qd oled monitor then

[teal orbit]

I might have like 5000 lumens or something

[shell void]

if that's true then a qd oled monitor is going to have a higher black floor than a TN monitor in that room

[teal orbit]

the reflection of my arms is extremely visible on my current matte IPS monitor

I might dim the lights

[tawny dew]

whats a good monitor for 1440p and 144hz

[edgy laurel]

budget and currency?

[tawny dew]

ehh around 140£ and GBP british pounds

i use my GPU for like editing and for my job so i need good quality

[teal orbit]

Bro

What am I supposed to call the breast shaped light fixtures

[shell void]

[teal orbit]

you know what I'm talking about

[steel stream]

darn warship

[shell void]

i do not

[edgy laurel]

Adjust your like expectations. Nothing is really "good" in that price range. Of the options here, I'd pick that Gigabyte as its at least IPS. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=256001440&D=165000,600000&X=0,14245

[brittle trellis]

Now turn the lights off

[shell void]

no i dont wanna

[tawny dew]

uhh just a question is IPS better than LCD

[shell void]

oh i have one of these mfs in a room downstairs

[steel stream]

i've got one in my room rn

[edgy laurel]

Apples and oranges. IPS is type of LCD, along with VA, TN, and a few other lesser options.

[steel stream]

and it's incredibly off centered

[tawny dew]

hmm alright will have a look

[teal orbit]

I have 2x 1600 lumens in that fixture
My led strip should be about 4400 lumens

maybe I shouldn't be using this stuff at 100% brightness

[shell void]

that is a ton of light

[teal orbit]

I wonder if you can damage your eyes from too much brightness
My room looks like the lighting section of a home depot

[brittle trellis]

Jfc what do you need 3200 lumens in a single room for

Coming from one light

[teal orbit]

The 3200 lumens alone is really dim for some reason

unless it's not really 3200

[brittle trellis]

Either your eyes are fucked or the bulb's boxes were lying to you

[shell void]

or hes just used to it so it doesnt seem crazy

[teal orbit]

They might be lying because I think my room with 2400 lumens feels significantly brighter

[shell void]

i used three 2600LM 5000K bulbs for a few months and that shocks me to think about now

[teal orbit]

except those bulbs are also garbage

[shell void]

now i have three smart bulbs that i have set to like 600LM 3300K most of the time

[teal orbit]

the $10/meter aliexpress light strip is my highest light quality reference now

[cerulean cosmos]

How many messages have you guys sent in the server

[shell void]

yes

[teal orbit]

⚡ TIPS

oh wait I literally own a light sensor so I could probably test this stuff

[edgy laurel]

it says 150k, but I lost over 100k messages when two channels i frequented were removed/hidden

[topaz veldt]

Then there is no glossy monitor for you

[teal orbit]

its a tiny one and I'm not really sure how its supposed to work because I think it'd depend on the surface area

glossy monitor should unironically be better in this situation because I control the reflection angles

[shell void]

yeah i think glossy is better for extremely bright rooms

[topaz veldt]

if the reflection of your arms shows on a matte IPS you have issues

[shell void]

you can learn to ignore the reflections but you cant really ignore a giant white blob on your screen

[edgy laurel]

reflections are fun. you can see them clear as day if you try but if you just focus on the content, they kinda of disappear (unless its real extreme)

[topaz veldt]

I would encourage anyone who cares about their monitor to invest in window treatments

[teal orbit]

It's from my led strip

[shell void]

i have to purposefully refocus my eyes on the reflections in order to see them while im actually looking at content on the screen

and it takes a second or two of purposefully trying
