[random flame]

Okay, so basically Taiwanese Cyrix then.

[merry stirrup]

[vestal granite]

[hoary hatch]

I think Intel foundry should be legally required to manufacturer all x86 products

[merry stirrup]

im liking this

[final snow]

Sus

[brisk jolt]

gang he’s gotta be a sub 1 GPA ITE student

No way he’s this dense

[final snow]

I'm literally a grown ass man

[merry stirrup]

im sayin bro

[final snow]

My pc got built from NS money too lol

[brisk jolt]

clearly with some wrongly screwed screws up in the head

dude, your likely older than me and what ur saying is yap

[final snow]

I'll be honest, I'll love to live in the Singapore you are in, but sadly that ain't the Singapore I know

[brisk jolt]

so im talking to a brick wall eh

[final snow]

No that's me

Tbh both of us are at this point imo

[brisk jolt]

good, can we get mods to rename this guy into “brick wall”

[vestal granite]

see im thinking this is a problem like setsuna is from upper east side and kagenlimkskz is from JC u know

[frank cypress]

@merry stirrup you need a zhaoxin cpu

[merry stirrup]

see thank you

[frank cypress]

the real dark horse of lga1700

[merry stirrup]

what what

zhaoxin lga 1700???

where do if ind this

[final snow]

I didn't go JC tho

[brisk jolt]

kagenwhatever being a sub 1 GPA ITE student*

[final snow]

I went the trades route, the poly route lol

[random flame]

Eeehhh honestly, I would rather prefer IFS produces more chips that also make sense, like cheaper yet more up-to-date microcontroller SoCs. Then again, I kinda wish Broadcom or maybe RaspPi Foundation at least take a chance on them to produce their chips that go into the RPis and such. Probably would help with the availability of those things, I bet.

[frank cypress]

they use the same socket afaik, but not the same chipset n shit

[final snow]

Nah that you lil bro

[merry stirrup]

otw

[vestal granite]

yeah thats not what i was talking about hang on i dont blame you its obscure reference 1 sec

[merry stirrup]

oh my god

[brisk jolt]

dude can you increase ur mic’s volume I cant hear you down there

[merry stirrup]

its just tsmc on lga 1700 its kinda cursed

[frank cypress]

magical

[wraith steeple]

Is this commotion still going?

[brisk jolt]

mahaps

just finished supper man

[merry stirrup]

guys i need a small loan

[final snow]

?

[frank cypress]

[low sorrel]

Fight fight fight fight

[final snow]

Why not just get like a thread ripper if you need like workstation performance

[random flame]

Or just go with something like a 285k for cheaper.

[brisk jolt]

i got you gang ill loan you the .3

[merry stirrup]

if youre homeless why dont you just buy a house head ass

even comes down to the same thing

[vestal granite]

no JC is like city its like attached to new york city but it gets memed because its like not technically new york city cause its in new jersey state

[brisk jolt]

no way this guy went poly bro

[merry stirrup]

whats poly

[final snow]

Dude you can just say jersey city lol

[vestal granite]

no, i cant

[brisk jolt]

either that or he’s the 0.1%

[low sorrel]

No

[brisk jolt]

polytechnic, basically college

[vestal granite]

i cant just say je 🤮 city

[merry stirrup]

with deficiencies?

[final snow]

Er... What

[merry stirrup]

oh lowkey that sounds cooler than college

[final snow]

Poly is basically community college in a way

[merry stirrup]

okay so nothing he said was wrong

[final snow]

Community college + trade schools

[vestal granite]

naw but jersey city is alright the downside is really just that u gotta take metro to manhattan which most people in nyc take to manhattan regardless

[final snow]

No, cause colleges give you like degrees, poly gets you a diploma

[brisk jolt]

says “er… what” then basically describes a college

[final snow]

Do you know what a college is tho

[merry stirrup]

is a community college not a college then

[vestal granite]

i always thought polytechnic would be like fireworks related until i saw rensselaer polytechnic institute and it was just boring

[brisk jolt]

holy shit if I wanna talk to him i need to lower my IQ all the way to the abyss bro

[merry stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-burning-hell-pain-gif-17379863

[final snow]

It's complicated, it's like a mini university of sorts, the certifications you get is of a lower standard and the coursework is a lower standard as well

It's comparable to your GCSE A levels

[final snow]

That's literally what I'm doing talking to you rn

[vestal granite]

what is a gcse A level i didnt do school

[merry stirrup]

okay mister new rtx 3050

[brisk jolt]

i cant hear you down there btw

[merry stirrup]

thanks yo

[vestal granite]

a pristine, new in box, old in warehouse, RTX 3050

[merry stirrup]

but are you listening to virtual insanity?

[random flame]

Aren't we all virtually insane in some way anyway though?

[steel stream]

ok my pc just keeps connecting to the 100.xx network and it's awful

[merry stirrup]

yeah but i have useless twisting new technology

[vestal granite]

if i was an economist i would look into why poorer areas have a lot of chrysler 200s and chrysler 300s and before yall are like hey woah thats not a nice thing to say keep in mind the reasons i may have been able to observe this phenomenon with my own eyeballs thank you

[merry stirrup]

chrysler 300 depending on how they have it looking is a decent looking vehicle

[vestal granite]

im thinking "the chrysler 200 economic index" of an area

just a shame you cant get them new in box

[merry stirrup]

what is the chrysler 200 eco index of ur area

[final snow]

People who have Chrysler's are a whole other level bro

[merry stirrup]

brand new 2006 chrysler 300

[final snow]

Those are the people that saw mercedes and decided it's too peasant for them

But yet, not rich enough to buy a Bentley

[young void]

I had a 2012 Chrysler 200 she was a great lil car got it around 100k miles put 20k on her before selling for the van cause family grew

[vestal granite]

not high these days but 2 areas ago was pretty high and the area right next to my area is pretty high too

[final snow]

I really want a 2006 300 imo

So I can convert one into a dodge charger

[vestal granite]

people who buy chrysler 200s are not above purchasing a mercedes im gonna be real boss

[final snow]

That'll be cool

[young void]

Tbh I guess around that time my friends and I where kinda goons

[final snow]

They are in sg tho, mercedes are either for people that are comfortable or wanna look rich

[vestal granite]

yeah thats the same here but chrysler 200s are $2000

[final snow]

Cause technically their shitty GLB is a mercedes so they are therefore rich

[brisk jolt]

im gonna stick to lexus for luxury xd

good luck with the merc guy

[final snow]

Mercedes is literally German toyota lol

[young void]

Mine was 9k but for a high mileage maybe or older model

[vestal granite]

toyota is good though i like toyota

[final snow]

It's not for rich people at all

[vestal granite]

whats for rich people

[final snow]

Yup which is why they have such heavy industrial prescence

[merry stirrup]

pure and utter speed

[brisk jolt]

gang if I ever get a car im avoiding beamers and mercs

[merry stirrup]

its 3.2ghz cant be contained

[final snow]

Heck I'll say mercedes is an industrial vehicle company that happens to make cars

[wraith steeple]

I really should punch a ticket for TG to basically ask them "yo. What's going on with muh Deltamate block purchase?"

[final snow]

Lexus

And Infiniti

[merry stirrup]

ur my emergency emergency contact for goon outings

[final snow]

Minimally

[merry stirrup]

only an hour drive you got that

[brisk jolt]

unless its something like a RCF that is lowkey wrong ngl

[final snow]

I was thinking ES

[vestal granite]

lexus is legendarily mid

[brisk jolt]

valid

[merry stirrup]

let the golf people have their cars

[vestal granite]

who the fuck, given infinite money, would buy a lexus or infiniti

[merry stirrup]

they made the LFA they proved they could do it let them make normal cars

[young void]

Luxury export us (L ex us)

[final snow]

Hey if it's good enough for the president, it's good enough for me

[young void]

Yiss

[brisk jolt]

nah hear me out, used lexus having the reliability and luxury

[final snow]

How? Lexus is night and day from toyota

[merry stirrup]

used cars are hit and miss always reliability is a factor with anything new

[final snow]

We are talking Seiko Vs grand Seiko difference here

[merry stirrup]

you just blew my mind

[brisk jolt]

I’d very much like to get a S2000/GT/GR86 or even GR yaris in the far future xd

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-amazed-woah-shocked-mind-blown-gif-17460895

[merry stirrup]

S2k CR im gonnA BLOW

[young void]

Lol

[final snow]

People that buy lexus

[merry stirrup]

i have a picture of an s2k cr that was right next to me i about left the sidewalk a new shade of white

[vestal granite]

i just think your singaporean car market is completely different, these are cars which plague used car lots for decades here

[merry stirrup]

i often see my favorite car driving around here and man

[vestal granite]

used car dealers cannot get rid of their lexuses and infinitis

[brisk jolt]

what type of response is that

[merry stirrup]

if i had infinite money id probably buy an LFA this guy isnt wrong

[brisk jolt]

once COE expires its either u renew or impound the car

[merry stirrup]

but...only...an lfa...

[final snow]

How? They are one of the most desirable cars out there

They define Japanese luxury

[vestal granite]

out there out where

we dont have that in our dictionary here

[wraith steeple]

This will be a chore I can feel it

[brisk jolt]

aka a car that has like only 500 units in the world, it’d be batshit hard to get one here

[merry stirrup]

yeah exactly

[final snow]

Dude Idk where you are living, but for most of the world

[merry stirrup]

that is an infinite money worthy purchase

[final snow]

There's a reason why lexus shows up as a presidential limo so much

[vestal granite]

i live in the united states

[merry stirrup]

i would promptly blow it up or crash, ending my life

[brisk jolt]

infinite money? fair

[merry stirrup]

one marlboro livery f1 car

[final snow]

I see

Idk I would put lexus as one of the best entry level luxury imo

[merry stirrup]

entry level luxury is its point its not really a thing youd want if you have a bazillion dollars iny our right pocket though

middle class

[vestal granite]

i have never once seen a lexus in the US that didnt have a transmission problem

[final snow]

I mean compared to Bentley, it's okay

But it's miles better than Mercedes or BMW

[brisk jolt]

doesnt the GR86 manual have like the same fuckass transmission as one particular old lexus

[vestal granite]

possibly true but that sentiment does not exist here

[vestal granite]

idk i dont shop for cars anymore i never want to own a car ever again

[merry stirrup]

just computers

:>

[vestal granite]

no

[merry stirrup]

yes

house made of computer :>

my whole wall is USB ports what do you know about that

[brisk jolt]

getting a car here is expensive as fuck, my 5090 purchase is way cheaper compared to what other countries with used car markets in the single digit grand are

like a used car here starts from like 30k+

[topaz veldt]

put wheels on your 5090

[merry stirrup]

might be on to something

[vestal granite]

i know i saw a youtube video once cause yall got really high population density the gov needs to tax cars a lot to incentivize people to use public transit or something

[vestal granite]

skateboard

[brisk jolt]

yeah COE, starting from like 90k for 10 years

[steel stream]

damn it man, the ethernet jacks in the rooms are on a different lan compared to the ones in the living room

[merry stirrup]

pain.

[edgy laurel]

where are they all run to?

[merry stirrup]

his ai datacenter

[edgy laurel]

might have to just do some patch swapping

[steel stream]

some closet I think let me check

that I am technically not supposed to have access to butI picked the lock

[merry stirrup]

classic Edward thread https://linustechtips.com/topic/1622542-so-whats-is-a-good-mb-for-this-my-cpu/

ON THE WAY

[brisk jolt]

oh bru-

[brisk jolt]

WAIT NO

[edgy laurel]

Please explain to me how the subject and the body have anything to do with eachother

[final snow]

Yeah if you wanna do cars, Singapore is increasingly hostile to our hobby

[merry stirrup]

LMAO i clicked the link and got really confused

[final snow]

That's why I wanna move to the UK imo

[merry stirrup]

"what the fuck is this guy talking about"

hes talking about that ME cve

that kids on titkok rn are glazing very hard

[steel stream]

yeah it was just left open

[merry stirrup]

"any computer made from 2001-now is hackable even if its off" direct quote

[edgy laurel]

guy never disappoints

[vestal granite]

i saw a thing the other day that was like a RCE abusing an exploit found in NFC the tap to pay stuff

[merry stirrup]

DAMN

RCE in fuckin nfc 😭

[vestal granite]

it was really limited what u could execute but it existed for a small period of time

[edgy laurel]

if you take my apple pay away from me i'm going to be VERY upset

[merry stirrup]

im gonna rce someone with a card that says get gnomed

[steel stream]

lovely

[merry stirrup]

so they just shoved the cabling in a box and called it

[vestal granite]

i guess the concern was that people would hijack the tap to pay and redirect payment but i can do that already with a sticker so i dont think its a major problem

[steel stream]

someone lmk if I doxxed myself

[edgy laurel]

time to get out your cable tester

and map out the runs

[brisk jolt]

you live somewhere on earth

[merry stirrup]

guilty! hes not even supposed to be doing this!

[edgy laurel]

yeah but like.. he should..

[merry stirrup]

you guys are bad influences

[brisk jolt]

you better watch out, small but never 0% chance of me finding you

[fringe vigil]

Get a load of this guy

[merry stirrup]

🙄 anything for the homelab

[vestal granite]

i wouldnt say rules were made to be broken but i would say rules were made to be ignored

[merry stirrup]

so its like every rule was made on opposite day

[edgy laurel]

ask for forgiveness, not permission

[merry stirrup]

guys i think weve got it mixed up here 😭

[fringe vigil]

America are a joke giving a speech at the pentagon today

[vestal granite]

nah cause if u break a rule you knew it existed but if u ignore a rule u can say oh i didnt know that was a rule

[merry stirrup]

ur the one who cosplays as an american even in physique

[vestal granite]

i thought that lock was put on the door by mistake

[merry stirrup]

[steel stream]

nothing is labeled and I have no cable tester

this shit dusty as fuck

[merry stirrup]

oh. this vault? i thought it was the public testing vault

[vestal granite]

just start unplugging stuff and see who complains

[brisk jolt]

pentagon
octagon
hexagon
hiscareergon

[edgy laurel]

start a ping or something on your PC, unplug things till it stops lol

or yeah, until someone else complains

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[steel stream]

i paid for the apartment, i should have access to every door

[vestal granite]

well

[merry stirrup]

yeah just unplug things i thought you were at school

[edgy laurel]

well

[vestal granite]

did you pay for the square footage of that closet

cause like i paid for a hotel room and theres a door attached to the other hotel room u know but i didnt pay for that room

[steel stream]

idk

im def not meant to be in here

[vestal granite]

you know what i miss? good hotel breakfasts.

[steel stream]

I fear I also have control over the wifi for the apartment upstairs

[vestal granite]

they used to have bacon, eggs, sausage gravy, cereal, milk, hard boiled eggs, all sorts of stuff

and waffles; the waffle maker

[merry stirrup]

i think you should start a botnet

[vestal granite]

a man might commit crimes on the upstairs neighbor's wifi

https://tenor.com/view/jaqen-hghar-game-of-thrones-got-tom-wlaschiha-looking-gif-15986623

[steel stream]

i think i will leave it alone I like this apartment

[slim solstice]

Guys does it mean that I have my father's trust if i know all of his password including his credit card pin, I was the one who recommended to buy a car of certain model and he proceeded to buy the same and i asked him to buy that ecotank Epson printer for business and he is planning on buying it

[vestal granite]

im gonna yell at you for this message you sent you

[slim solstice]

Yay

[steel stream]

yeah I will not touch this

[slim solstice]

Looks very safe and new

[steel stream]

I've got an idea though

[slim solstice]

I suggest u unplug all the cables expect ur own when Peter dug a hole and then unplugged everyone's wifi

[merry stirrup]

upgrade apt to 2.5g

[steel stream]

how to get kicked out of my apartment 101

[steel stream]

yeah i saw that lol

[frank zealot]

oh snap:

[frank zealot]

at least dust it to get rid of cobwebs

[merry stirrup]

so like this is one of the thickest aios right. is it one of the best?

[vestal granite]

cobwebs? you mean cotton candy?

[merry stirrup]

powdered sugar or the insides of a zyn on it and you have a delicacy

[vestal granite]

tobacco is gross and powdered sugar is equally gross

[pure grail]

thats why i only use high fructose corn sirup

[frank zealot]

so far there are zero YT reviews that're useful

[vestal granite]

sorry i know people sometimes with these things theyre like oh but its not tobacco its nicotine no i hate that i hate whatever its called its gross okay

[merry stirrup]

fire

[frank zealot]

the Q60 a year and a half ago did well, so I expect the new one will, too... if they fix them all

[steel stream]

score

[merry stirrup]

hmmm okie seems good

[steel stream]

just ran a 30ft cable to the living room

[hoary hatch]

$300 aio

[frank zealot]

people spend more on AIOs for dumber reasons

[hoary hatch]

If it only affects the Q80, I suppose that means there is something specific with the Q80 parts or production batch that caused this issue

Like is the larger rad just bunged up?

[frank zealot]

the Q80 is brand new it seems, so it must be a new product issue

[hoary hatch]

Did production like worker #3 fall asleep

[frank zealot]

like all the normal "is this the best thing ever" youtube fluff vids are at most a month old, so this must be a brand new product

so, new product, new problems

[topaz veldt]

just a patch panel and a dumb switch

[steel stream]

yeah but I am fairly certain it also controls the network for the people upstairs

[edgy laurel]

thing is, if every run comes back to that switch, they should be able to see eachother

unless there are runs that don't terminate there

[steel stream]

i'd have to take another look but I am meant to be working today

[edgy laurel]

but yeah def unmanaged "dumb" switch

[steel stream]

way better now

[edgy laurel]

ohh nice. i had thought about mentioning remuxing it to just remove DV earlier

[whole coral]

I see a 4 way coax splitter lol

[edgy laurel]

and spider webs

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-cant-see-this-funny-gif-14446155

[steel stream]

i wonder how quick it would do it with a local file

[topaz veldt]

bro you always encode locally

[whole coral]

Got my own coax splitter lol

[steel stream]

some guy made a whole tool for DV stuff, converting HDR10+ to DV, changing profiles, getting ready of DV or HDR10+ pretty neat

[whole coral]

Initially it was used for the TV’s and phone but since we got rid of cable TV in favor of IPTV I just disconnected the splitter entirely

[steel stream]

I didn't want to move it over

[edgy laurel]

man, that takes me back to 1999/2000 and finding the right one that worked with Comcast

[steel stream]

i've got a lot of movies I need to fix now though, thanks Scamsung

[edgy laurel]

I bet 5nail doesn't remember who the incumbent Cable provider was around here before Comcast bought them

and the name disappeared

he's furiously googling

furiously

[whole coral]

Lollll

[wicked jasper]

i never even really bothered with cable when i was younger

[edgy laurel]

DSL?

I never had that

[wicked jasper]

id just walk to the local pub if there was something on

[edgy laurel]

ahh, the whole concept of "the local pub" is foreign to me but I really like it

[wicked jasper]

typically you have a pub atleast within like 10km of you in england

my local pub was only a 15 minute walk

[whole coral]

Lollll I just opened up the outdoor coax box

[steel stream]

my local pub is like 5 minutes max

[wicked jasper]

im my new house i decided that i was going to go for a run to my local pub

that run did not last long as my local pub is less then 2 minutes away

[edgy laurel]

tbh that looks pretty typical

[wicked jasper]

i dont even think i had a tv in my house until like 16

[steel stream]

oh this is gonna take forever

[edgy laurel]

its all in good condition

what script is that?

[whole coral]

I love Cox’s fiber boxes tbh

Looks so clean

[edgy laurel]

you like networking equipment @whole coral? here I got an old switch that was just left in place for decades in our old warehouse

[topaz veldt]

thats not even a switch technically

thats like a token ring ... hub?

Never seen that switch before

Is this what you used in your 20s?

[hoary hatch]

Spotify finally added lossless after 4, almost 5, years of delaying it

[wicked jasper]

tf is lossless

[edgy laurel]

less loss

lack of loss

[wicked jasper]

what does that mean in terms of music

[hoary hatch]

"lossless" aka higher bitrate

[edgy laurel]

quality from compression

[steel stream]

yeah but it's not as good as Apple Music lossless I think

[wicked jasper]

oh

[fervent elm]

Cleaner audio
Less static and other artifacts from compression

[edgy laurel]

how can one lossless be better than another if you think about it

[low sorrel]

My brain don't workie after that

[topaz veldt]

aren't you like a nuclear physicist or something?

[wicked jasper]

no.

[low sorrel]

How can something be better if they're both lossless

[wicked jasper]

i am not in fact a nuclear physicist

even if i was how is that relevant

[edgy laurel]

[low sorrel]

Eh you play BMS same thing

[wicked jasper]

i mean ive listened to some music on spotify and on a record player and it sounds about the same

[topaz veldt]

What is it that you claim to be/study again?

[wicked jasper]

ive never noticed any artifacts or anything

[wicked jasper]

im not studying anything im a chemistry teacher

[pure garnet]

damn i clocked you as younger

[wise bear]

Quantum mechanics or something

[fervent elm]

Can only really tell on higher end audio equipment
Its lowest common denominator which is usually your headphones or your dac

[steel stream]

ok so yeah spotify does up to 24 bit 44.1 KHz, apple music does up to 24 bit 192 KHz

[wicked jasper]

im pushing 30 tbf

[edgy laurel]

youngin

[pure garnet]

[wise bear]

I'm older than vaux and that's what matters

[wicked jasper]

how old are you

[wise bear]

29, it's in my profile

[whole coral]

I’m turning 21 in like 9 days

[topaz veldt]

YES. That's it. How does a quantum mechanics scholar not know what "lossless" means?

[wicked jasper]

im also 29

[low sorrel]

Old

[wise bear]

Dude idk anymore

[whole coral]

Hope I can live into my 90’s lol

I want a nice long life

[topaz veldt]

You will have a nice log life

[wise bear]

If I die at 40 I'm ok with that

[wicked jasper]

living past like 80 just seems a bit shit

[fervent elm]

[wicked jasper]

like what do you actually do at 100

[whole coral]

Maybe with medical advancements it will be less shit by the time I’m 90

[whole coral]

Lol idk

[hoary hatch]

No
I mean it's probably fine
But it doesn't offer the same max bitrate as apple music and maybe tidal

[steel stream]

yeah

[hoary hatch]

I'm just impressed it actually happened

[wise bear]

GPU in hot

[hoary hatch]

I thought they gave up

[steel stream]

im ready for spotify DMs

[edgy laurel]

but but.. lossless. unless the source is different, if no loss is present then...

[hoary hatch]

What did you get

[wise bear]

FUCK no

[wise bear]

i do have a job in the sector

kinda i teach it

i need one of these

[wicked jasper]

i teach both

[low sorrel]

Do you still have the book?

[frank zealot]

that was the shizzle back in the day

[topaz veldt]

[wicked jasper]

i genuinely do not want to bore people with this

[young void]

I'm a genie

🧞

[wicked jasper]

i cant find my chemistry one though

[wise bear]

You aren't boring us because we want to see you fail at covering your story

[topaz veldt]

yeah I don't want to bore people with my nuclear reactor surgery either

[wicked jasper]

when have i ever said im a "nuclear reactor surgeon"

[topaz veldt]

Quantum mechanics teacher didn't know what "lossless" meant in terms of music

[wicked jasper]

ok sure

[young void]

My boy was a nuclear inventory tech aka he collected and labled things before people went into the room lol for buku buckss

[wicked jasper]

its literally like 5 pages on just some boring as FUCK physics

[wise bear]

Maybe his focus was quantum baking

[topaz veldt]

Your dissertation was 5 pages?

[wicked jasper]

that is typically how its done here

[topaz veldt]

LOL what

[wicked jasper]

ok sure

[topaz veldt]

I have two PHd holders in my family this is hilarious

[wise bear]

Like I said, devry

[slim pebble]

My master’s thesis wasn’t much more than around 15 pages?

[topaz veldt]

That's not a dissertation

[wicked jasper]

yeah i dont think we have the same types of dissertations

[slim pebble]

It was math and a proof.

[topaz veldt]

No you're right to teach quantum mechanics you have to actually know it here

[wicked jasper]

Crudposting in tc2 is illegals, unspoken rule

[topaz veldt]

Good news! Our fav doctorate from TC1 is in TC2 lol

[wicked jasper]

why am i specifically your favourite though

[edgy laurel]

i'll take anything over Elian

[topaz veldt]

Well he just got done telling us his "quantum mechanics" dissertation was 5 pages long

[edgy laurel]

oh

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/statler-and-waldorf-gif-gif-25428563

[topaz veldt]

his dissertation both existed and didn't existed - that's the thing

[steel stream]

i've written lab reports as long as that

[young void]

Squints at 3 page proofs, never again

[wise bear]

I've written shit posts as long as his dissertation

[wicked jasper]

yeah i dont think the systems the same

[topaz veldt]

dude quantum mechanic studies would have more than 5 pages in a homework assignment lol

[wicked jasper]

typically over here you do multiple papers published or not

[wise bear]

Hey Google write me a dissertation on quantum chemistry

[wicked jasper]

yeah of course mate i asked chatgpt to write all my papers

[topaz veldt]

We have to write summaries on chapter books longer than the paper you claim anchors your teaching quantum mechanics lol

[wicked jasper]

overall in all my stuff its about 100~ pages of just random physics shit

[steel stream]

[low sorrel]

Speaking of AI are we cooked I found out yesterday that my sister relies on ChatGPT at her job as an financial advisor for a bank

[wise bear]

That's.. illegal somehow

[topaz veldt]

its actually not

[wicked jasper]

cant you literally just ask your bank for financial advice for free

[low sorrel]

She works at the bank

[topaz veldt]

.... what? you're a quantum mechanics teacher, how is this a question?

[wicked jasper]

oh.

how is this relevant?

[topaz veldt]

Because that question is insane

[wise bear]

Reading comprehension

[topaz veldt]

Are you going to walk up to your bank teller and ask for financial advice?

[slim pebble]

Stop, you’re killing me here. I haven’t laughed this hard in months

[wicked jasper]

i know atleast my bank has a person you can literally just ask for financial advice

[wise bear]

Hello ma'am I need to know what to do with this quarter mil

[topaz veldt]

Sir Quantum, those would be called Financial Adivsors. They are not "can't you ask your bank" people.

I use chat for Linux admin and config tasks in Arch, it’s pretty good.

"Yeah they're called doctors"

[low sorrel]

Can you teach me quantum mechanics

[topaz veldt]

Metric or imperial?

[slim pebble]

I’ll admit, I took three years to do a two year Masters program. I had a couple of kids while I was in grad school.

[low sorrel]

There's imperial quantum mechanics?

Comet Lake...??\

[steel stream]

@shell void you have to see this

[slim pebble]

I don’t get it, what’s the rationale here?

[merry stirrup]

indeed

[pure garnet]

hey since people keep saying am4 is alive with refreshes

[hoary hatch]

If it was a new embedded option then idk I guess it could make sense

[pure garnet]

lga1200 can be a long life socket too

[hoary hatch]

But socketed? Wtf

[merry stirrup]

is it actually lga 1200

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

hoyl shit

[hoary hatch]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

of all things though Comet Lake??

[merry stirrup]

another DDR4 platform lets fucking GO

[pure garnet]

praise intel for long life sockets

[hoary hatch]

Yeah where's my 11900KS

[edgy laurel]

at least Alder Lake

[merry stirrup]

do i get a new IMC
?

[pure garnet]

no it’s just a rebrand

[hoary hatch]

10400 v2

[merry stirrup]

why do they have extra 10400s

[pure garnet]

i’d imagine intel 14 is just free rn

[steel stream]

ask lip butt tan

[hoary hatch]

They supposedly ran out of 10nm capacity

[merry stirrup]

too many 12p core bartlett skus

[hoary hatch]

Embedded

[merry stirrup]

allegedly socketed

[hoary hatch]

That first word is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[merry stirrup]

ill do a lot of heavy lifting

[hoary hatch]

If there are socketed 12p core 10nm skus just fucking release them already intel

[merry stirrup]

they wont be unlocked

i doubt theyll even work on z790

[hoary hatch]

L

[merry stirrup]

if they are going to be what i think they are

just business/workstation chips

itll have xeon microcode and wont work on consumer boards like it has been since 6th gen

[merry stirrup]

and -e is workstation innit

[steel stream]

they look like it

[hoary hatch]

For chipsets idk I assumed it was embedded

But those are sockets

[merry stirrup]

indeed

i think E is just their workstation stuff

er,, ig "not consumer" is better

thats my own screenshot by the way

[hoary hatch]

Nothing is stopping them from 12p core unlocked raptor lake consumer

[merry stirrup]

absolutely nothing yes

[hoary hatch]

Other than VMIN shift...

[merry stirrup]

https://www.dfi.com/jp/tag/index/182

[pure garnet]

why would intel ship customers another lga1700 cpu when they want you on 1851 or nova anyway

[merry stirrup]

LOL

just spammin shit

so that implies all of those are socketed despite embedded

and those are all btl-s

[green marsh]

uh

oh, it's a mac mini dock with extra features

[shell void]

skylake 4eva

[frank zealot]

they got max 4 more generations in that

currently im on one of those 14nm+++ processor

it runs like a beast

and stays at a stable 90C with no problems

just a tad bit slow compared to my phone

not mentioning the fan noise

[green marsh]

i got six 22nm, one 32nm CPUs 🙂

[green marsh]

right, forgot about the macs. then two 14nm CPUs

[stable turret]

darn, you should try out one of those devices built on the 3nm process node

AKA the latest macbook air

the difference would be really night and day

[wise bear]

aight so new tv? smashing success

[green marsh]

well i got newer things, just not on Intel 😄

[wise bear]

vrr, 4k120 is now my absolute favorite thing

[stable turret]

thats reassuring to hear

[stable turret]

mine is a 4k 144hz TV

[stable turret]

10bit native, 55inch, directly produced by xiaomi, miniled with 600 local dimming zones, priced at $350

[stable turret]

woww 4nm ryzen, thats way better than the processor im currently using

[wise bear]

idk mines just a 50" vizio qled

I think it has local dimming?

[green marsh]

the 14nm CPUs are i7-9750H (16" MBP) and i5-8500B (mac mini)

[stable turret]

haven't heard of the brand vizio yet, cuz locally here the TVs are mostly made by TCL, hisense, huawei and xiaomi

im from mainland china so

[wise bear]

its a NA thing

[stable turret]

yeh my macbook pro has the 9880H, released in the generation

i modded my macbook with thermal pads on the VRM modules just to dissipate the heat

[fringe vigil]

wasu

[stable turret]

as for the caveat, it now heats up above 80C on the back of the laptop

so, be careful dealing with my laptop otherwise its gonna burn your lap

[low sorrel]

OLED?

[wise bear]

qled

[low sorrel]

Lame

Still decent probably

[green marsh]

Vizio was selling under Sharp brand for a while, then in 2020 or so they got in a lawsuit

[wise bear]

god jerry you suck

[steel stream]

OLED or nuthin

[green marsh]

or was it Hisense ? damn, these brands

[low sorrel]

What I do

[wise bear]

dude its 4k 120, vrr, local dimming, hdr, 50", $400. you really can't complain about that

[stable turret]

just looked it up, and it seems like vizio is sourcing their panels predominantly from China, so i guess they are produced locally here in my area

[low sorrel]

How HDR

[wise bear]

I could've gotten an oled but I didn't want to deal with the risk of burn-in at all so i got this

[low sorrel]

Make it your gaming monitor

[wise bear]

idk it says it can do 1k nits

it is my gaming monitor

[green marsh]

i am waiting for early 2027 when Apple will drop Intel macs altogether, which means i will have to move over to an arm mac. So i will requisition a new arm mac from work, and will probably switch over the 16" Intel MBP to Windows or Kubuntu

[stable turret]

OLED TVs are alot more expensive, and less durable (often) than those miniled counterparts which sell at a much more affordable price.

[low sorrel]

Post pic

[stable turret]

really suitable for a gaming monitor

[low sorrel]

Yeah yeah we know

[wise bear]

& a 5070ti is on the way within the next 2 hours so that'll get me higher in the framerates

[low sorrel]

Honestly I thought it would look bigger

[wise bear]

its next to a 32"

[low sorrel]

Or maybe you just have a big deak

[wise bear]

I do have a big desk

You should

[topaz veldt]

Is it new

[wise bear]

what, the tv?

or the squad update

[topaz veldt]

yes

[low sorrel]

just get a trust fund ffs

[green marsh]

well technically suppor tends in 2026+2 years = 2028. But they also like to push up Xcode requirements every April. Right now the new Xcode beta they will require next April requires only Sequioa, but there is high chance that the final version will require Tahoe. And the next Xcode required in April 2027 will require post-Tahoe OS

[topaz veldt]

yes

[steel stream]

indeed

[low sorrel]

I do have an RESP

I regret having 100gb movies

might try and fix a TV from work depending

[steel stream]

hi jorj

[wise bear]

floppaaaaa its almost hereeee

[merry stirrup]

its some rando 4k 120hz apparently im just gonna give it to my mom if i can fix it

[thick frost]

Which is it

[merry stirrup]

yipieeeee

[stable turret]

yeh so for the developers who rely on xcode, they have until april 2027 to upgrade to a new mac. still quite abit time left, not gonna worry about replacing my current macbook pro anytime soon then

[green marsh]

we are actually replacing some tech, but that is because Mac Minis will not get Tahoe, so they might end up being useless for CI builds in April 2026

I took the grip tape off my mouse and it feels fine - why did this feel terrible when I bought it

[whole coral]

Imagine using grip for your mouse

[topaz veldt]

WHAT

[merry stirrup]

yeah i hit that shit raw

[vestal granite]

maybe the grip tape added grip to your fingertips

also yeah i dont use grip tape but thats because with the way i hold my mouse i dont need more grip

my fingertips go directly down onto the mouse clickers so they dont really slip

[merry stirrup]

i just grab the mouse idk

[vestal granite]

well not directly down but down at an acute angle knowmsayn

[merry stirrup]

mhm

[topaz veldt]

Super light is a little slippery

[merry stirrup]

its okay

i find the hump on the superlight is too aggressive for gaming

[whole coral]

My fingers pretty much never slip when using a mouse

Maybe I’m lucky lol

[merry stirrup]

it works great when youre calm but when youre freakin out flickin everyone it does start to slip yeah

i just went to a smaller mouse (really just the hump moved)

[topaz veldt]

Small hands?

[merry stirrup]

idk never measured or googled avg hand size

i dont think so but maybe

same size as superlight

jorj struggles to read context challenge

want to hold it? hollon

bro i put clothes in the washer at like 12 today

I just remembered about them now

oh honestly youd have to rerun it either way so this is the good ending

i haven’t bought a used psu ever

[merry stirrup]

a1000G was 100$

saves them for me

[pure garnet]

i don’t think you’d want an rm 850x or bus sized leadex

[merry stirrup]

i do not

1300g2 will be my only bus until it dies

then ill get a 1600g2 and the cycle continues

[pure garnet]

my next psu will probably be a seasonic

[merry stirrup]

this msi one is nice

[shell void]

it is time

[merry stirrup]

i cant find my 12vhpwr cable for it so i have to use the fucking adaptor

investigate

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

i’d say i’d get an apex if you do but uh

[merry stirrup]

looks good in second image'

okay yeah its good id say

nothing looks off

[pure garnet]

i think if i drop another $600 on pc parts soon ill be sad

[merry stirrup]

i want an apex but im buying mpower so

[shell void]

hopefully just paste smudge?

[pure garnet]

yeah for am5 it’s itx or apex basically

[vestal granite]

im gonna put a chinchilla on your motherboard and see what happens

[wraith steeple]

FedEx and TG cancelling shipments left and right for a few folks too

[shell void]

it's a repaired board so maybe that funny looking pin is the repair

[pure garnet]

i’m unfortunately chained to lisa su for final fantasy xiv town performance

[vestal granite]

what would the best animal be to release on a motherboard so that it will destroy everything

i guess an elephant or something technically

[shell void]

unfortunately there are no mint condition apexes on ebay

[pure garnet]

yeah but a fish would be funnier

[vestal granite]

i bet a bird would be pretty destructive on a motherboard

they eat cables cause they think its worms

i dont blame them if i saw cables in the dirt id probably think its was wormses too

i had a wired xbox 360 controller and a pet bird and that controller's cable was absolutely destroyed by that bird

[pure garnet]

yeah $700 on newegg for the apex

i don’t think that is stomach-able

[fringe vigil]

@topaz veldt is there something wrong with these twin? how are there new drives going for $10/TB retail?

[pure garnet]

direct die or copper ihs 14900k on an apex encore would go hard though michael

[frank cypress]

[pure garnet]

not full copper

[frank cypress]

hmm

[shell void]

i think they are

with a top layer of nickel plating

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

i spent a few days trying to find an ekwb nucleus direct die aio and only found one going for like $1000usd

[merry stirrup]

it looks fine in the othe rphoto

[merry stirrup]

i think they just got paste in the socket judging by the paste right at the top

[pure garnet]

the one time i tried to buy an ek aio it didn’t come with any lga1700 hardware and the hardware was oos for like 6 months

[merry stirrup]

no it doesnt thats the repaired pin for sure

they did an ok job its in the right spot

[shell void]

it's so over

[merry stirrup]
