If I had a Prius prime I'd spend $0 on gas most months

Or we'll any PHEV

[topaz veldt]

This dude is unbearable, going back on block, making less sense than my children

[wise bear]

Moms old hrv got like 35 miles to the gallon it was nutty

[turbid locust]

taking a gummy and opening TC2 was the best decision I’ve ever made

[topaz veldt]

My 1000+ hp car gets 38 mpg

[hoary hatch]

@warped mountain can you share your Google maps history
I wanna see where you drive your 35k annual mileage

[hoary hatch]

I get ~17

[wise bear]

Jfc

[topaz veldt]

Seriously though

[grizzled lily]

[warped mountain]

Yeah I was always concerned about that, but you know, apparently allegedly.. one of the top business people said that they could impact the entire global market and make fuel for the United States $2 a gallon so 🤷.
I don't know how they planned on changing the entire global market since oil is global and we export ours out, ... but nevertheless guarantees were made

[topaz veldt]

this won't be annoying lol

[hoary hatch]

My driving is genuinely worst case scenario for an ICE vehicle

[turbid locust]

my cat gets like 37mpg on highway and 30 in city

[hoary hatch]

Your what

[random flame]

Wow... Okay, yeah, I guess my mom and I are outliers here then. {xD

[warped mountain]

"under $2" don't move the goal post when they game isn't going in your favor

[turbid locust]

This is exactly why I don’t even block people anymore

[wise bear]

My cat gets about a mile per can of tuna

[topaz veldt]

I just can't risk someone walking by my laptop and reading such stupid shit

[warped mountain]

Yeah, that's just what things cost.

[turbid locust]

LOL

[wise bear]

This mf...

[devout ridge]

i get about 40mm^2 of gas on my car

[warped mountain]

Promises made promises ... Oh right fingers were crossed 🤣

His words 🤷 I don't make the rules

[topaz veldt]

Lol dude

[devout ridge]

[hoary hatch]

Holy bajeesus fuck at the THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND AMERICAN FREEDOM ASS MILES PER YEAR OF OUR LORD

I didn't even read the rest of the message

[warped mountain]

Umm okay? That isn't even a lot.

[wise bear]

It is.

[hoary hatch]

Bro

[turbid locust]

Always remember to take your favorite politician’s statements at face value

[wise bear]

Thirty five thousand miles in a single year is a L O T

the average american drives less than half of that per year

The history we went over last night was deleted by Google? Let me see if I have a summary email.

[devout ridge]

i don’t value politician faces very highly, like probably 10-20usd

would be fun to draw on tho

[hoary hatch]

What

[pure garnet]

i did too that was fire

[topaz veldt]

Did you see from the vid he posted its like a Suburban? Like how do you even complain in a 7 mpg vehicle wtf the fuel price is

I don't remember giving a shit what diesel cost in my F250

[wise bear]

I think it'd be hard to draw on guliani, mans like a painting that got rained on

[hoary hatch]

This was 6 minutes ago

[wraith steeple]

I might add a 5 ¼ mostly for cosmetics but eh (they were phased out once the 486 became prominent). We'll see how she turns out

[warped mountain]

20,000 is normal commute.

[hoary hatch]

Isn't 12k/yr the average

[wise bear]

Nothing is normal about you.

[gentle gale]

16k

[hoary hatch]

I'll do my best to drag those numbers down

[wise bear]

Dude this guy I swear..

[warped mountain]

The Google timeline history, Google changed the terms when you get a new phone it's all deleted ..Linus talked about it on WAN .

[topaz veldt]

The entire interaction is like right, of course, 9000,0000 miles a year in a tugboat ... it makes total sense

[gentle gale]

35k is madness, are you driving to alaska and back like every week

[topaz veldt]

it should be studied

[random flame]

I forget how much driving we do in a month exact... But I do recall that at least once for two weeks, I didn't recet our odometer and let it play it and somehow we crossed 500 miles or so.

[warped mountain]

Not out west

[devout ridge]

i think i did like 25k miles in the last year

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

I love when 5nail is a petty biatch

[wise bear]

And they say my kind is the world's issue lmao, this man is out here dropping the collective gene pool on its head as an infant

[topaz veldt]

I love when you try to stand without your knees over extending

[devout ridge]

it’s a rare form, but always hilarious

[warped mountain]

No Alaska and back is like 8,000 miles. I didn't get a chance to do that this year because the truck was broken 😭

[turbid locust]

oh wow ok

[hoary hatch]

I am the west

[topaz veldt]

mac cheer up

[turbid locust]

had a rough day at work ngl

[random flame]

Of course, this was when we were down with my sister, she's lives down in Tampa, so the amount of driving recorded was going down, going all around her city and nearby ones, and then coming back up to home.

[gentle gale]

even out west it doesn’t touch 20k avg per year

https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/average-miles-driven-per-year/

[random flame]

Any other normal day meanwhile is about like 50 or so, maybe 60 miles on a day at the most depending on where we need to go.

[topaz veldt]

I feel that, but listen, it could be worse

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[vale cosmos]

damn yall drive alot

[turbid locust]

It could be. That’s the problem lmao

[devout ridge]

US moment

[vale cosmos]

im in the US 💀

[devout ridge]

it’s 50 miles round trip to my gym

[wraith steeple]

North America moment

[devout ridge]

it’s the nearest gym of its type as well

[random flame]

Can't help it when we live out on the country side.

[hoary hatch]

Damn I really don't drive

[warped mountain]

I'm aware, it was set on

Google changed everybody's to off, they changed the terms of service and they didn't tell anybody explicitly over email so everything was deleted.

[turbid locust]

I have a 6 mile commute

[topaz veldt]

35k miles is no where near usual

[vale cosmos]

i will have driven maybe 10k miles this year, and 1800 of that will have been a road drip

[topaz veldt]

I did 44 miles in my one car last year rofl

[hoary hatch]

So as a rule of thumb, the average is 12k/yr

[wise bear]

So why is mine enabled and I've never touched it

[topaz veldt]

sounds about right

[pure garnet]

i have like a 6 minute commute to work so i just drive around on thursdays to let the car run

[warped mountain]

60-80 mile commute each way is normal here because of housing only being affordable in the out skirts.

[hoary hatch]

Which means kevincoolkid is crazy

[random flame]

All 4 cities we're near to are 10 to 23, even 40 minute commutes from home most of the time.

[hoary hatch]

Fuck off

[wise bear]

Kevincoolkid

[vale cosmos]

L i have a 1.4 mile commute

[pure garnet]

housing would be affordable if you stopped buying laptops

my rent is less than you've spent on one laptop

[hoary hatch]

A 60 mile commute is not normal in Phoenix what the fuck

[random flame]

Aaannndd Florida and Tennessee?

[wraith steeple]

3-4 hours is my limit for a comute in a car..... For one day

[turbid locust]

Closest I’ve ever lived to work is 1/10th of a mile

[devout ridge]

and random electronics

[wise bear]

Bliss innit

[devout ridge]

dude has bought like a NAS, and a tablet, and a laptop

[gentle gale]

maybe tjats how they got 35k miles/year

driving to and from best buy or micro center everyday

[devout ridge]

and i don’t think he’s solved any of his problems

[turbid locust]

Needing to be at work at 8:00a and waking up at 7:50a was the funniest shit

[wise bear]

Skill issue.

[vale cosmos]

damn, the closest I could get to my work would be half a mile if I was a grad student

[turbid locust]

I could throw a rock at the building I worked in from my dorm hall steps

[warped mountain]

No it was a thing .. Linus went over it on WAN show and that's when I found out that it was all deleted when I got my new phone 😭😭😭

[wise bear]

Again, skill issue

[topaz veldt]

my commute is like 75 ft

Sometimes I still start my car

[wise bear]

Mine is 20 I win

[warped mountain]

What, my metro are is 90 miles wide, only in the outskirts can you get an affordable home for $470,000 for a starter home.

[hoary hatch]

@humble ether can you fucking not

https://tenor.com/view/neco-arc-neco-arc-neco-arc-drive-dovin-gif-6415435154121954396

[topaz veldt]

I start my car, then go back inside, make coffee, and turn the car off

[vale cosmos]

good commute

[random flame]

Only is out here... If you want to deal with 10 acres or more, and most houses out here are close to $400k or more on average.

[warped mountain]

Receipts as requested

[wise bear]

I thought it all got deleted

[warped mountain]

These are emails

[hoary hatch]

Phoenix is not 90 miles wide

[warped mountain]

As clearly stated earlier

[turbid locust]

False. Neither of these pics support the idea that you do 36k/year

[wraith steeple]

[warped mountain]

Buckeye to Apache junction

[wise bear]

You don't clearly state anything you over engineered dungbeetle

[random flame]

Our house technically was "cheap" on the basis that it was not well renovated and had so many varying problems with it and other strange oddities with the property itself. Even worse, two neighboring houses dragged the value down, due to being undermaintained.

[warped mountain]

2645 * 12 is what??

[turbid locust]

31,740

[gentle gale]

quick google search gives me 75 miles

[random flame]

One of them today is practically abandoned and might just be condemable given it's current condition.

#tech-chat-2 message

[warped mountain]

So is 35,000 in realistic?

[wise bear]

No

[turbid locust]

no

[wise bear]

So ones al dente and the other is undercooked

[hoary hatch]

"""""""""""Phoenix"""""""""""""

I just....buckeye isn't Phoenix

And AJ I wouldn't call civilization

[topaz veldt]

@wise bear look at this mileage since 2020 lol

[hoary hatch]

Also nobody commutes from one edge to the other edge, you commute to a place with actual employment

[hoary hatch]

Yeah but what he's given is a flawed example and it's an actual commute

Buckeye used to basically be dirt
Now it's depression

[slim solstice]

Did he just get doxed?

[warped mountain]

The one time the truck was "working" AZ to TN for memorial day, and back.

[hoary hatch]

It's not like it's a small town

[warped mountain]

Yeah but the homes continue west.

And because homes were so much cheaper about a third of the cost in Tucson there's people that drive from Tucson to Phoenix everyday to commute in for work.

[topaz veldt]

Why are we still wasting time on this dude

[wise bear]

dude idk

[warped mountain]

I didn't say just PHX to be fair

[hoary hatch]

If only there was a way to make this better
Oh, I know!

So apparently when you order on Samsung and Mark it as pick up even if it's available in stock it's not available immediately... So now I have to come back to Best buy tomorrow to pick up my tablet...

It's literally in stock the girl was like I can't give it to you 💀💀

[wise bear]

skill issue

[topaz veldt]

here it comes

[wise bear]

you probably hit on her unwelcomed

[slim solstice]

You could just go and buy one from the shelf

[warped mountain]

Anywho, yeah I drive A LOT. I've accepted I will spend $15,000-$25,000 a year on fuel 🤷.

[warped mountain]

WTF that mean?

[slim solstice]

Do you really have to book the tablet beforehand

[topaz veldt]

Ya'll won't be making fun of my 5 5090s in like 6 months

[hoary hatch]

So I should keep the 5070ti huh

[slim solstice]

You wasted ur time and ur gas

[brisk jolt]

5090s here are apparently going out of stock lmao

[warped mountain]

Not with $300 off sadly, I did ask a few price match it and she's like absolutely not it's already a $900 tablet

[topaz veldt]

Here too - The 5090 Master was in stock for weeks at $2650 and then poof

[brisk jolt]

Every model except for the zotac AIO was taken down on techyard

[slim solstice]

In india we can get free tablet with credit score

[warped mountain]

Yes, very unhappy.

[slim solstice]

It's a samsung tablet too

[slim pebble]

They stopped making GB202 for AI chips

cordell did you try telling her how much you drive or something

[turbid locust]

Selling my 5090 for $9000

[brisk jolt]

Ill 1 up you and sell it for $9100

[slim solstice]

Nah she was the one that was like "hey if you cancel it you can buy it from here" and I said "yeah but can you match this price" and she's like "well I don't know we already have a $400 off for Black Friday" and then showed her the receipt I paid with Samsung and she's like "absolutely not that would make me take like 40% MORE off it. "

Yeah I know! Lol that's why I bought it with stacking discounts on top of back Friday discounts!

[turbid locust]

Whippin his M3

[slim solstice]

She is too jealous to let u get away with dat

[slim pebble]

5090 are still available and multiple models up on Amazon. We just aren’t seeing the crazy sales like Mac got.

[topaz veldt]

[slim solstice]

[topaz veldt]

when ma's not got it

[wise bear]

can tc2 become a vote-in channel

[warped mountain]

Nah lol, I didn't believe it either I thought I drove maybe 26,000 a year

I didn't realize it was actually 35,000 because that Google maps only tracks where there was GPS, there's a lot of places in the mountain for the GPS just doesn't work correctly

[topaz veldt]

what do you mean

[grizzled lily]

best monitor under 300?

[wise bear]

we ban everyone from the channel and then have a vote on who we bring in

[slim solstice]

Instead of buying ridiculous expensive smart home products why don't we make our own using esp32 for half the price

[topaz veldt]

This is all my local MC has in stock now and that 5090 TUF OC was $2899 last week

[brisk jolt]

The last one’s sorted Highest To Lowest price

[topaz veldt]

I dunno how I feel about that

[wise bear]

no more cordell, no more somebody..

[warped mountain]

👀👀👀

[brisk jolt]

All other retailers with 5090s massively upped their prices, a 5090 Solid from them is at Aorus Master levels lmao

[wraith steeple]

I'll bring my inner Bashar out if that's the case

[topaz veldt]

I sniped, possibly, one of the last 5090 Masters on Amazon at $2649

[hoary hatch]

Or they could just mute kencordell for 30 days

[brisk jolt]

“TC2 was pretty peaceful till the Cordell attacked”

but yeah they keep going in and out of stock

[slim solstice]

The last purchase on amazon before the ss you just sent is it a gpu

[hoary hatch]

They say prime but 3 day shipping

[slim pebble]

But why should I buy an M5?! State your reasons! 🤣

[warped mountain]

They are on tablets

[wise bear]

why do men always keep their fucking nails as short as possible

Samsung did not do a pro keyboard for the 11 like they had for the 10 so no track pads this generation

[slim solstice]

Beef tender balls?

[topaz veldt]

he thought it was gonna be cooked lol

[wise bear]

[topaz veldt]

Also what waiter listens to a 7 y/o about raw beef

[warped mountain]

Skill issue, nothing can come OUT if that's where you're putting your hydration IN

[wise bear]

dont talk about my ass like that you creep

[warped mountain]

Why didn't you just do all of that at home?

[wise bear]

Yes let me do my own intravenous fluid replacement with IV ativan & zofran yes I totally have all these supplies on-hand

[topaz veldt]

The secret is out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imcqiORiR98

[warped mountain]

I know how to do home made IV, it not hard. The zofran ehh just feel nauseous it'll eventually go away.

Why did you need Ativan?

Were you having seizures?

[wise bear]

"just feel nauseous" I was vomiting so hard that I was squeezing the bile out of my liver and throwing that up

[warped mountain]

Oh my God my Amazon case for the s11 will be here before I can pick up my s11....

[topaz veldt]

Did you see the flaming barcardi 151 chocolate sphere I had?

[wise bear]

no sorry I'm pissed off at cordell again because somehow I should've done my salmonella care at home or some shit..

[topaz veldt]

lol fuck that noise check this out

[wise bear]

your waiter is tickled pink by it lmao

[topaz veldt]

he was so pumped i ordered it

[warped mountain]

I thought they discontinued 151 👀 where did you get it?

[wise bear]

thats so cute tbh

[topaz veldt]

they pour over it and it opens up, its so good

[wise bear]

ativan isn't just for seizures you fucking dunce

[warped mountain]

Oh my God my Amazon case for the s11 will be here before I can pick up my s11 ... That was ordered with same day pickup.

[wise bear]

We don't care

"wuhh just do ur iv at home wuhh"

"wuhh just feel nauseated itll go away wuhh"

[topaz veldt]

what next chapter have we entered lol

[wise bear]

this mf.

[topaz veldt]

weird

[wise bear]

5nail i shouldve done my iv at home when I couldn't stop shaking /s

[topaz veldt]

lol dafuq

People should not self administer IVs

[wise bear]

no they should not

[topaz veldt]

have you ever seen the show The Knick?

[wise bear]

no

[topaz veldt]

are you squimish

[wise bear]

fuck no lol

[topaz veldt]

OK I am

[slim pebble]

Why have we not collectively hit the block button? It’ll stop eventually when nobody sees or engages

[topaz veldt]

but... I made it thru - its about the Knickerbocher Hospital

[wise bear]

Some nights I'll watch brain surgery and fall asleep to it

[topaz veldt]

aka the NY Knicks, etc.

Its about the guy who discovered cocaine

[wise bear]

oh jesus

[topaz veldt]

liquid cocaine

he was using it to perform surgeries

but how do you know the effect of liquid concaine and surgery when testing for the first time?

[wise bear]

when the nurses collectively go "jesus fucking christ, dr"

[topaz veldt]

No - he administered his own surgery 😐

its a great show - apparently mostly historically accurate

[wise bear]

Oh I've seen some wild ass liveleak shit like that

[topaz veldt]

ok yes not quite what im going for but yes

[wise bear]

idk I'm painfully waiting for season 2 of the pitt

[topaz veldt]

I never got into it

maybe because its fucking pittsburgh

[wise bear]

hyper-accurate ER medical show

[topaz veldt]

you forgot "in Pittsburgh"

[wise bear]

ok but the opening song is from robert bradley

https://open.spotify.com/track/14iwnjhvNNylIo0ANlDhyF?si=b62d43d78b1c4333

[topaz veldt]

Black water surprise/

oh nice I like him

I wish the guvnah

would just leave the po' man alone

[merry stirrup]

my sister has my z790i edge

[topaz veldt]

btw I played with cachyos

what a pita distro

[slim pebble]

Season 1 was great!

[merry stirrup]

and a tiktok shop 12700k kissed by @pure garnet

[topaz veldt]

great news!

[wise bear]

when are you two getting a room

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup should I dump 265K Z890i for a 9800X3D mITX

[slim pebble]

It’s an easy arch, you get steam running and then game. If you want easy there’s Bazzite

[pure garnet]

technically we know where our rooms reside

[topaz veldt]

the installer failed for like 3 hours because it filters out repo mirrors and they were all broken lol

[slim pebble]

Never had an issue updating or installing, weird

[topaz veldt]

yeah someone seriously over-thought mirrors, it does a ping test, it does a bandwidth test, and then it marks mirrors offline as it goes thru - it also does some geo location test... but it all failed over and over lol

So Wendel is talking about alternating turns on the screwdriver 2 or so turns each side back and forth.... who wants a 5mall5nail5 secret?

it's mind blowing

[slim pebble]

Let’s hear it 😆

[topaz veldt]

Finally.

I use two screwdrivers

[brisk jolt]

So dual-wield

[topaz veldt]

Then you don't gotta over think no turnin

turn em at the same time ya goober!

[brisk jolt]

I dual-wield electric screwdrivers for it

[warped mountain]

Sigh, it's 10:00 p.m. I got off 3 hours ago I just got home now I get to start dinner which is going to take an hour and a half 😭

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup can a 265k even run games

[slim pebble]

Why wouldn’t it?

[topaz veldt]

I am joking @slim pebble

I am debating on keeping 265K or going 9800X3D in this lil build

[warped mountain]

Y'all think that's enough for one person?

[slim pebble]

9800X3D would be easier to cool down no?

[topaz veldt]

cooling won't be a prob going forward

The ncase m3 grater can take full size HSFs

[warped mountain]

Hmm, wouldn't the Ryzen with its 3d cache be better for gaming?

[slim pebble]

They’re both the same at 4K

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

Wouldn't it be funny if my 265K mITX does 9000 reliably

[slim pebble]

They’ll be what, less than 5-8 FPS between them at 4K?

[warped mountain]

I'm so excited to make my green chili cornbread this weekend. 🤤

[slim pebble]

Does it get better 1% lows than an X3D at 4K?

[topaz veldt]

eh hard to say - depends on the game

[topaz veldt]

I dunno never had a GPU in it. My 285K gets better 1%s but worse avg/max

depending on the game it can be a decent chunk

but like BF6 is very similar 9950X3D vs 285K 5090 vs 5090

[wise bear]

aight time to crash out

see yall dorks in the morning

[topaz veldt]

peace

maybe I will go to sleep

[wise bear]

[wraith steeple]

[slim pebble]

No sleep, going to gym

[wraith steeple]

I'm at work

[topaz veldt]

WHY

[warped mountain]

Ofc ... They send an hour after the Best buy closes..

[merry stirrup]

i dont think so

server needs 2.5gbit

[hoary hatch]

Never had one and never will
Fast food fish is a food crime

[low sorrel]

it's aight, best thing on the mcdonalds menu

which isn't saying much

[twilit moon]

no way thats enough pre applied right. I dont wanna repaste it later

[indigo walrus]

That's enough. It will spread out with heat and time.

[low sorrel]

it enough

imagine the shitstorm people would kick up if it wasn't

[pallid marsh]

yeah the AIO company intentionally puts less thermal paste then it needs so it cools less effectively making their product look bad

[indigo walrus]

I KNEW IT! I knew it all along. What a conspiracy! Cheaping out on thermal paste...

[low sorrel]

to be fair they did used to use shitty thermal paste\

[pallid marsh]

yes they must save they literally pennies worth of paste! screw shorter tubing paste is the real money saver

[warped mountain]

It's actually wild fish. It's probably the most premium thing McDonald's has.

[warped mountain]

Not IC diamond?

Or Arctic Silver?

[twilit moon]

ok this wont work..

[young void]

Happens myte have to take the fan off then put in the cpu 8 pin, then attempt to pull the top fan as close to the front of the Case as possible, but if still no room then at least ya tried

Shit.. time to start and underground black market ram empire

My pc store isn't even offering ram in most of their bundles anymore lol

[dapper junco]

Yea, we will probably experience another shortage pretty soon-ish

[pulsar rose]

I know right 😭

Some ddr5 kits are like twice as expensive

[twilit moon]

works this way

[dry temple]

Car

[twilit moon]

so much better with a 280mm cooler rather than my 140mm

[lone scarab]

alldat just for car face

[twilit moon]

its a diff aio

[dry temple]

My biggest regrett with this one is not having a lcd aio

But the Phanteks glacier 360mm is a bargain

I havent gone over 60c under load

Cyberpunk. Darktide and rdr2 all run smooth

[lone scarab]

and what are you gonna use it for?

best ican use it for is temps

[twilit moon]

mine has the lcd because it was the only one available, didnt want to wait

but my case isnt see thru and i dont care for rgb

[elder cairn]

Downloaded and installed the big iPadOS update.

'FILE, EDIT, VIEW, WINDOW'

What’s a computer again?

[solemn heron]

Can someone recommend a good and cheap mini-led ips monitor? (1440p at least 144hz)

[slim solstice]

Kittyo

[slim solstice]

Something with a keyboard and mouse and is not tough to use

They made the ipad experience harder

There would be a big learning curve for people who just joined the ipad cult

[solemn heron]

Which is beter the Xiaomi G pro 27i or the AOC Q27G4XM? I chose those two because theyre mini-led qled ips and theyre basically the chapest.

[dry temple]

First stationairy pc in 10 years. My new gaming rig

[lone scarab]

lcd aio i was askinf about

[brisk jolt]

are you looking at your monitor or looking at your AIO while gaming/consuming content/doing work?

[dry temple]

Just wanted it for fun

Also temprature tracking

[brisk jolt]

So... you dont need it

[dry temple]

No but its fun

[oak vector]

ah yes
cos I really felt like plugging a vr headset into the optiplex

[lavish frost]

Hello
I was thinking to make something like a home server. I will probably use it as like a cloud storage, pi hole and maybe streaming. I dont really know much about making home servers and stuff but i found few pc’s. What do you think? Do you have any recommendations? They will run 24/7.

[turbid locust]

[solid pelican]

I have expo turned on but I also see expo high bandwidth support, should I use that too?

[edgy laurel]

not part of the official AMD spec, whatever it is

[solid pelican]

Oh, I’m in bios and it’s right under the expo setting, so idk

[edgy laurel]

can try it. it'll train again and if it works and is stable, neat

but its not an official AMD setting, likely something your board manufacturer included

you do you

google is suggesting Gigabyte boards have a "Low Latency Support" option

[solid pelican]

Yea I just looked that up too

I mean I says it will have a significant performance increase in demanding titles so whatever I guess I’ll try it

[oak vector]

this aint a wall of text its a whole skyrise building

[topaz veldt]

What you should do is run AIDA64 without it, then run AIDA64 with it. If latency or bandwidth don't improve its not worthwhile. If they do improve, then you can decide if you want to test it for stability.

Not a good SSD but crazy price for both

Not a great SSD but crazy price for both

[turbid locust]

Measly 1tb

[topaz veldt]

Doesn't matter it pulls the price of the board down

I think you can add any NVMe

$250 off

well that looks terrible

[wise bear]

the fuck did you do

[topaz veldt]

just goofin while on this call

[oak vector]

Midnight McDonald’s run with the trailer and scooter + my housemate

[wise bear]

please tell me this isn't your atrocious name

[wise bear]

lmao this is style

[oak vector]

Hahaha thanks
I love these trips so much
They’re so silly

[wise bear]

you should have an emergency passenger eject rope tied to the yellow handle tbh

[steel stream]

the crew goes down with the ship

[wise bear]

its funnier if the crew goes sliding away from the ship at 20mph

[oak vector]

LMAO
Omg I’m gonna do it that’s funny as hell

[wise bear]

i mean you know of napoleon so why would we yell at you

[steel stream]

yeah

is it like a bad thing in your eyes

wait is he rage baiting again

[dawn plover]

hmm I wonder if this would explain my friend's computer gaming worse than usual recently

[frank zealot]

33 bucks after deals, this is tempting

[edgy laurel]

just saying..

[vestal granite]

red on red

should be red on white or red on black or red on maybe tan or you know anything that isnt red would probably work

[frank zealot]

the color isn't the interest. MS XBox Controllers are generally pretty solid

[vestal granite]

personally i like red on tan you know but red on silver is alright too

[frank zealot]

hmmmm, interesting, but also half-again the price

[edgy laurel]

charging dock is clutch

2.4Ghz receiver sits in the bottom of it

[frank zealot]

that is a sweet feature

now for everyone to feel extra old:

[hoary hatch]

The red is fun

[wise bear]

I hate this & you for sharing it

[hoary hatch]

So far I'm not a fan of the 8bitdo

[frank zealot]

welcome!

[hoary hatch]

Ugh I have to go into work and use Internet explorer this morning

[wise bear]

EWWW

stay home

[hoary hatch]

Internet explorer 5 compatibility mode in edge, but still

[wise bear]

[frank zealot]

Edge in IE Mode?

Or are you on an 8 year old os?

[hoary hatch]

IE mode because Japan refuses to update their ancient software systems

[frank zealot]

IE 5? holy shit

[hoary hatch]

It crashes so easily

[wise bear]

doesnt the japanese govt still use fucking floppy drives

[frank zealot]

@shell void I put those Arctic 38mm fans in my new work PC.

Every fucking time I look over, I do a double take thinking the fans aren't spinning

[steel stream]

38mm thick fans or 38mm diameter?

[frank zealot]

Thick

[steel stream]

ah nice

yeah i've got 200mm X 38mm fans in my case they are awesome

[frank zealot]

but do those not look like damned fan blades? I get tricked for a second every time

[steel stream]

yeah those just look like blades lol, I got tricked too

[dawn plover]

I'm not old enough to have used floppy disks, but like come on I still know what they are... Also, Japan was still using floppies for government documents up until like 2020 or something IIRC

[frank zealot]

if someone's a student in 2025, they sure as hell weren't working for the gov't 5 years ago

[dawn plover]

well yeah but like maybe it would've been in the news idk

[frank zealot]

they were probably under 10 at the time

do you think they watched the news

[pure garnet]

i think you’re over estimating how much it matters to the average person what tech the government uses

[frank zealot]

I mean, airlines still use floppies on many jets.
Does it matter to anyone else?

[wise bear]

i think its cool at least

[livid flame]

You get mature students too

[frank zealot]

college students returning is a thing, but also the exception

[pure garnet]

i use software from 1998 do i get bonus points

[livid flame]

People better themselves and change career, just saying.

[dawn plover]

japan was stuck in the year 2000 for like 30 years lol

some people say they've been in 2000 since 1980

[brisk ledge]

Planning to get a new gfx for Xmas, was planning on the 5060ti but instead I’ve moved a bit more towards the 9600 xt cause it’s a bit cheaper, thoughts on this? Any other recommendations?

[wraith steeple]

I feel part of my soul dying

[dawn plover]

I'd recommend getting the 16GB version if possible, the 8GB version will be dated more quickly

Damn.

We need regular license retesting after the age of 70 in my opinion

We need to put a stop to it

[whole coral]

Yeah she was charged with hit and run causing injury

[turbid locust]

A quality 850W would be plenty

but if you plan on upgrading to a bigger gpu down the line then it may be worth springing for the 1000W

[steel stream]

850w will be more than enough

[dawn plover]

they already did discontinue their cheaper GPUs in a way because the base models have gotten more expensive, right?

[steel stream]

if you can't afford it, you didn't deserve to game in the first place

[brave panther]

mfw cheaper cards includes 5090

A new report without any solid evidence, trail of information provenance or accountability states "gamers gonna be bigmad if there's any bad news about video cards... even if it isn't true"

150kw is latest from nvidia (public info)

[wise bear]

I thought it'd be higher than that tbh

[brave panther]

tipical density is 12 lmao

[wise bear]

for like, a whole 42u rack?

[brave panther]

ya

[wraith steeple]

The DGX Spark is pretty sweet NGL

[wise bear]

There must be some one-off rack deployments that're hyper-dense in power

like if everything was watercooled

[hasty grove]

is there a better ssd for the price? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sw2WGX/sk-hynix-platinum-p41-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-shpp41-1000gm-2

[brave panther]

NVIDIA GB200 NVL72

its 120 to 132kw

[keen wigeon]

If you know what it is, what it isn't than it is awesome

if you look at it as a be-all-end-all of inference you're missing the point

[south shuttle]

bigger numbe better

especially the one preceding $

@topaz veldt 800W rog matrix vbios can be flashed on Aorus Master/Xtreme supposedly

i assume it would work on the master too anyway because it's the same pcb as the xtreme waterforce as far as i know

time to solder the second power connector on and flash?

[steel stream]

2x the connectors 2x the fun

Hey guys, there is a shop selling a tray 9700X with 3 years of warranty. Do i take it?

Any thoughts on this video? Last month I took out 4 - 8 GB 3200 Rams and replaced them with 2 - 16 GB 4000 Rams. Did I made a good decision by doing that?

[dawn plover]

it's not showing me the price for some reason, but this one is XFX and it's white, so it's probably more expensive for the same GPU

you could get away with a cheaper version of the 9060XT no problem

[pure garnet]

bro blowing up his vrms

[topaz veldt]

That is sick

speaking of fun @steel stream

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/glasses-trailer-park-boys-jroc-gif-24181817

hell yeah

[topaz veldt]

gettin ready

[steel stream]

I'm assuming it'll be installed after the patio is done?

[wise bear]

nono those go in the ground

[topaz veldt]

kind of during

have to pull the wire beneath the cement before they pour it all

[steel stream]

ah yeah that makes sense with the amp

I am very curious to see how this turns out

I am really interested in what it sounds like

[topaz veldt]

supposed to soudn awesome

[wise bear]

you gonna do pvc conduit below the cement or are you just gonna directly bury it

[topaz veldt]

i have been on a few outdoor patio/pool/audio forums and people rave about it

[topaz veldt]

pvc when it has to go under a slab

its direct burial wire, but in case I want to pull a new one, etc

[wise bear]

[wraith steeple]

It has arrived

[steel stream]

but what about Atmos height channels :( /s

[topaz veldt]

the height will be infinite

[steel stream]

I am very curious about this setup, because currently it's just 6 satelites and a 8" sub, I just wonder about Satelite placement, center channel, and how much that sub can provide

[topaz veldt]

so its not like 6.1

it took me some time to figure out outdoor audio

[steel stream]

yeah that's what I figured, you just want equal sound level throughout the whole area right?

[topaz veldt]

well you have 3 modes

you can either do mono everywhere

or you can do L/R in areas like regionally

or you can divide a space into like left/right as a whole

[steel stream]

ok hmm

[topaz veldt]

the nice part is, changing between it just means rewiring at the speakers

I am thinking of doing L/R areas

[steel stream]

this is seems like a usecase where I would enjoy having an app lol but I digress

[topaz veldt]

in that, blue dots L, red dots R, orange is sub

yellow is lighting

[wise bear]

thats gonna be sick as fuuuuck

[topaz veldt]

yeah dude its going to be so nice

[steel stream]

5nail you gotta invite me out here because this seems like it would be awesome to hear in person

like it's very interesting

[topaz veldt]

lol perhaps

"Hey hon this is a random discord dude from the internet he wants to hear our patio"

The place we're working with has an audio design element - they wanted like $12,000 to do this setup lol

A) wtf

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/chip-nxk-neuroxik-psh-kicking-gif-21016863

[topaz veldt]

B) I like this shit so I want to do it

[steel stream]

already giving them enough of your money

it seems like what you already have planned out should work nicely

I am curious about walking between zones and what that sounds like

[wraith steeple]

Oh my god, this thing is glorious

[steel stream]

hell yeah

[topaz veldt]

yeah me too - I have debated on making like one side left and one side right

[steel stream]

I would either do the current setup you have now, or mono

[topaz veldt]

mono apparently sounds lame af

[steel stream]

ah

[topaz veldt]

here's my thing

[steel stream]

yeah I guess it would be just like having a PA system out there

[topaz veldt]

If I am sitting here with my wife

likely facing outward toward that arc

[steel stream]

then left is right and right is left

[topaz veldt]

that part is ok

but like... what am I hearing?

[steel stream]

oh hmm

[topaz veldt]

I think the effect will be what i want

I just gotta do more reading. The nice part is that they'll stub the cable up in the area, then I just go left/right in the beds as needed

the pre wire is critical as is the yellow dots which are for lighting - can't do that after

[steel stream]

the extreme case would be modeling it out in Unreal Engine 5, as I think they have pretty good audio simulation and stuff

[topaz veldt]

it'll be like that

[sullen rivet]

Anyon3 know how to make a discord server with giveaways and all that for steal a dino steal monsters and others the could help me make one

[steel stream]

nope

[topaz veldt]

actually almost exactly like this

[steel stream]

yeah can't fix those lights after lol

[topaz veldt]

So i need the speakers to not be blocked by that sitting wall

[hasty grove]

[topaz veldt]

def not

[steel stream]

From the pictures it seems like the satelites will have some sort of directionality? As in you can point them in the direction you want sound to go

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-5L_MGCdXY

[topaz veldt]

yes they are directional

[topaz veldt]

There's a whole walkway that wraps around the house and then a pretty significant front step redo also

I was thinking of buying another system to expand the sound down the walk way lol

like think big party, you park your car, walk up, go around the house and there's ambient music in the garden as you come around

[steel stream]

yeah that would be pretty sick

at least there figuring out left and right would be super easy

[topaz veldt]

yeah

but then its like... chill, don't Snails this entire thing

[steel stream]

I mean they're $1600 off at BB rn...

[topaz veldt]

Ha i know

[steel stream]

But I guess start with just one system then upgrade if need be

[topaz veldt]

Yeah thats the thing

Supposedly the sonos ecosystem is cool

[steel stream]

how easy is it to to chain the systems together?

[topaz veldt]

I don't think you do

I think you have two zones you can sync thru sonos

[steel stream]

ah ok

yeah Sonos has some neat stuff, my dad has the sonos soundbar, satelite, + sub setup at home in our basement

[topaz veldt]

I was going to do the in ceiling speakers in this house but the wiring was lunacy

[steel stream]

it's so nice to have ceiling speakers but it just seems like a mess

I also would not compromise by doing some wireless setup for like that

[topaz veldt]

it would be for like ambient music, not home theater/etc

[steel stream]

yeah, it's super nice if you have it but it's just work

[wraith steeple]

Will give her a nice look at and some cleaning this weekend. And that PSU, hmmmmmm. Yeah I'm not taking my chances as I do have an ATX to AT power adapter with switch on hand

[steel stream]

My buddies up north cabin has a system for that in like the kitchen and stuff

but, I think an easier way to do it would just chaining like amazon alexas around the house

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[steel stream]

so I guess I just lied saying I wouldn't compromise by doing a wireless setup

I would do an alexa setup, would be super easy

[topaz veldt]

sound quality is not as good

[steel stream]

yeah but for ambient surely it's fine right? but my only experience is the one alexa in my kitchen lol

[topaz veldt]

yeah i dunno i obsess l ol

[lilac crater]

I had a question is this even true?

[topaz veldt]

lol

[steel stream]

is there like a list of all these dang echo/alexa devices

[lilac crater]

I was reading this while I was doing some stuff

[lilac crater]

what do you thinbk i tlooks like promoting lol

[steel stream]

You could also do some sonos wireless setup, they pair really nicely with alexa

[steel stream]

something something if it sounds too good to be true something something

[wise bear]

thats not how internet works.

[lilac crater]

so basically there is no other way to increase the speed of my downloads on my browser sad

[lilac crater]

I was just thinking about that

[pure garnet]

if your internet like can only pull X speed, programs cannot make X speed Y speed

there is some truth to downloading split files at the same time sometimes being faster but that’s just an ad

either way the bottleneck is either your internet or the cdn you’re downloading from

[lilac crater]

I don't have a issue with my internet

so it's the cdn was just curious if I was tweaking or not thanks

[steel stream]

i've comitted a cardinal sin and put my PC on the floor, on the carpet

[pure garnet]

that’s where i’ve built half my systems so

[hoary hatch]

Well marketplace still has ram

[steel stream]

yeah I decided i wanted to free up my desk

[pure garnet]

i bought a table for my y40 to sit on

i was floor pc gang until the case io was on the bottom

[steel stream]

i'll just find a plank of wood or smth

[hoary hatch]

I use a side table/drawer

[steel stream]

the PA602 sits far enough the ground anyways

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s basically what i have

[steel stream]

it's got a huge bottom compartment which is used for nothing atm

[pure garnet]

it’s just a side table i keep next to my desk

[steel stream]

I can spread out my speakers a bit more now

[pure garnet]

i need new speakers

i’m still on a logitech combo pack my mom bought me from floppas favorite store

[steel stream]

adam audio d3v i think

[pure garnet]

and then i use creative pebbles for my tv

[steel stream]

pebbles

[pure garnet]

https://us.creative.com/p/speakers/creative-pebble-plus

these

[steel stream]

yeah i know

i am not a fan of them

[fringe vigil]

I have some of them

[pure garnet]

they seem fine for what i use them for

[steel stream]

yeah they're cheap and seem to get the job done, but I think they look stupid

[pure garnet]

i’d imagine other speakers are better but i also have a cheap tcl and enjoy using it so my standards aren’t super high

[turbid locust]

Edifier MR3’s are sick

I love mine

[steel stream]

those are the infinity mirror ones right

[turbid locust]

Naw

[steel stream]

oh mr3s look cool

not as cool as the infinity mirror ones but still not bad

[pure garnet]

do you not need a sub with that

[turbid locust]

I don’t think they need one but I’m not a bass head

I do have the low end EQ’d up a tiny bit but that’s it

[pure garnet]

apparently logitech still sells my speakers

$180 for this is crazy

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/logitech-z533-multimedia-speakers-3-piece-for-pc-black/J7H7ZYCGFY

[steel stream]

my pc will no longer give a display out hello

[green marsh]

someone forgot to look at retail market prices 😄

[whole coral]

lol small tree

[pure garnet]

can we go back to dx11 i miss games not requiring shader compilation

[odd sable]

dx11 games also needed shader compilation though?

[pure garnet]

dx9 it is then

[karmic folio]

opengl

[odd sable]

dx9 and opengl also need shader compilation

[shell void]

it’s okay they’ll compile quickly on OUR 52 core nova lake processors

[karmic folio]

Oh

[shell void]

plus intel is working on precompiling shaders

[pure garnet]

i mean it's going fairly quick with the 265k it's still just stupid

bf6 is the only modern game i've played that took like <30s to compile shaders though

[karmic folio]

Why are they not precompiled

[odd sable]

they can't be

[karmic folio]

Ok but why

[odd sable]

because GPUs dont have the same ISA like CPUs (generally) do

[green marsh]

because it is optimizing the stuff for your hardware

[karmic folio]

[green marsh]

would you like those 250GB games to be 1.5TB because all the variants are delivered and not compiled at runtime ?

[karmic folio]

Probably not

[odd sable]

also, most modern games make heavy use of shader variants, which means a huge number of shaders to compile

[karmic folio]

i need new games to play

[odd sable]

there are good reasons to do that, but somtimes its not necessary, or better

[south nacelle]

Hey y'all, anybody got recommendations on a cheap but effective Wireless USB headset that I can just use during work hours?

[shell void]

it’s okay intel will save us

[pure garnet]

yeah i need a 5090

[karmic folio]

[odd sable]

thats basically the only way around just doing it on the client machine

but, each driver and game version can change the shader

[shell void]

automatic shader cache updates

supposedly they’re gonna start trying this with Xe3 which is in Panther Lake

[odd sable]

idk why they'd wait for that, they could and IMO should just try it out now

[shell void]

no idea but that’s what tap said

no plans of it coming to anything older than Xe3

[odd sable]

thats dumb

this could absolutely be done by all GPU makers

for all of their GPUs

there are a huge number of different shaders, and new GPUs, so, games cant do this, but the drivers absolutely can

[turbid locust]

Good luck

[steel stream]

my 5070 ti just shit the bed i think

no output whatsoever, even after DDU
