P2S comes with hardened steel everything

and better nozzle swap system

[hoary hatch]

I know

[hoary hatch]

Eugh fuck you I know 🙃

[steel stream]

pasta salad

[turbid locust]

all the little stuff added up and influenced my decision

anyone that has a P1S shouldn’t bother though

[wraith steeple]

I'm setting up jumpers for my turbo display

[hoary hatch]

Oh agreed

But if I was buying today, P2 all the way

[vestal granite]

as far as olives go for pasta salads the hierarchy is:

1. red wine kalamata olives (goat olive)
2. kalamata olives
3. spanish manzanilla olives (cheap green olives)
4. i guess the oil cured beldi olives are fine
5. black olives
6. everything that isnt olives (the lowest ranked olive is still the highest ranked food)

[wraith steeple]

Man, this shit is confusing even with the diagrams

[steel stream]

what if I am not a fan of olives

[wraith steeple]

[vestal granite]

have you had kalamata olives

[steel stream]

idk prob not

[vestal granite]

then you are not a fan of olives yet

[steel stream]

good to know

[willow fulcrum]

Anyone have good or bad experiences buying used Herman Miller chairs from eBay?

[turbid locust]

I bought a Herman Miller chair from eBay once and it shot my dog.

ymmv.

[vestal granite]

herman miller is the name of the serial killer who shot my dog

oh coincidence we both had the same problem

[steel stream]

the herman miller chair I bought is still in use today and is a beloved member of my family.
ymmv.

[steel stream]

yeah uhhhhh

[steel stream]

you guys ever think about how Ready Player One is just essentially fortnite the movie

[turbid locust]

never watched it

[steel stream]

well it's just fortnite the movie

[vestal granite]

fortnite is Ready Player One (the movie) The Game

[steel stream]

true

like the final battle in ready player one is just a fortnite fight

[wraith steeple]

Especially since this is to be set up for a DX2-66

[steel stream]

You have the iron giant fighting godzilla master chief and some other spartans are there, tracer from overwatch, a gundam, chun-li i think too

[steel stream]

just ask chatgpt for help on it, surely nothing will go wrong

yo @vestal granite do you use Obsidian for notes? I feel like you're the type of fella that would

[vestal granite]

no i just use my noggin

and notepad

[wise bear]

i do its great

[steel stream]

Yeah I first heard about it like 2 years ago, but I am just now really trying to dive into it

If I had a laptop with a better battery life i would take notes a lot more

PTL or tandem oled macbook save me

I've just been looking into how others have their vaults set up

[dense pelican]

could I have moved this accidentally when my screwdiver slipped or is this normal?

[edgy laurel]

you could have

[teal orbit]

you couldn't have moved it really without just breaking it clean off

[edgy laurel]

but its soldered down..

[teal orbit]

youd have to melt the solder to simply move it

[dense pelican]

so if it’s not moving it’s ok?

worst part is my mobo had a gpu release button lmao i just didn’t know

[wise bear]

joints look fine to me

[light rune]

Are there any gaming benchmarks of the Tesla A40?

(Dont ask lmao)

[edgy laurel]

seems so

[steel stream]

what is this??....

how did you find all these results, so quickly??

Research like this would have taken eons at the local library

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-research-gif-10381154

[edgy laurel]

Its crazy, man. I have a gift.

So much power at my fingertips!

[steel stream]

the gods truly have graced you

near omnipotent

[light rune]

From these i see only passmark has non ai benchmarks and the score of 470ish doesnt seem very correct to me

[edgy laurel]

what a shame

[steel stream]

oh I meant omniscient whoops

[steel stream]

Are you planning to game on it?

[light rune]

Like come on, nobody cares about AI, who doesnt play games on their passively cooled 10 000$ datacenter gpu?!

[light rune]

Yup lmao

[steel stream]

i mean then of course it's gonna be insanely hard to find gaming benchmarks

it seems to be around 5070 levels of speed

[edgy laurel]

Not a smart thing to do, but also couldn't figure out google so..

[light rune]

Lmao i might have to become the gaming benchmark

[light rune]

The google didnt return any gaming benchmarks thats why i asked 😭

[edgy laurel]

Where do you think we would find them? Second google?

[steel stream]

yeah I thought those were the ones without display port or DirectX functionality

[light rune]

They do have opengl, directx and vulkan

[steel stream]

yup

[light rune]

Theyre based on the AD102 chip if i remember correctly, same config as a 3090 Ti just slightly clocked down

[light rune]

Makes for a fine gaming card next to my 5090

This is so useless lmao

I love it, i love how insane my plan is

[vestal granite]

this doesnt seem that insane

its like getting a sample at costco and then looping back around and getting another one a few minutes later and being like oh im so crazy

you know what i mean

[light rune]

So techpowerup is all i have to go off huh? Alright, next question, how the hell do i power it safely, it uses an EPS 8pin instead of a PCIe 8pin except the EPS guy has a different pinout than normal EPS 8pins have

So just custom cable?

[steel stream]

@hoary hatch

[edgy laurel]

I just learned that there are specific dual 8-pin PCIe to EPS adaters made specifically for these cards

[steel stream]

what wizard tome did you have to consult to find that one?

[light rune]

Look, theres not many tutorials on setting an A40 up in a standard ATX PC alright?

[edgy laurel]

you'd never believe me if I told you

this may or may not be an official Nvidia part number 030-0571-000

[steel stream]

I know his name looks incredibly ironic, but he's actually an expert I swear

[light rune]

W- why? Nvidia what are you smoking?! (Besides money)

anyway, back to gaming. i'm sure this is a solvable problem

[light rune]

20$ for that is a fuckin SCAM

[steel stream]

what are you playing tonight

[light rune]

But what else should i expect of nvidia

[edgy laurel]

Continuing another Stalker 2 playthrough. And being sad that I can't run Reshade and SK at the same time without crashing

for some reason.. this go around

[steel stream]

ah man that fucking sucks

[edgy laurel]

Reshade can capture screenshots but i just really like SK lol

[steel stream]

SK is just too damn good

[edgy laurel]

and I need reshade for renodx

I fucked around with the various ways to load reshade + renodx through SK instead of standalone and it seemed to work.. but none of the sliders in Renodx did anything

so it was a dud

[steel stream]

nice

[edgy laurel]

bounced around between hdrden and the sk discord and.. one of those things where it takes too many words to try and explain yourself and people lose interest

so i'm just going without sk, oh well

[steel stream]

godspeed Guilty, godspeed 🫡

[steel stream]

Cool HDR shiz

what we in the business call the "Swiss army knife of pc gaming"

[edgy laurel]

its frame limiter was pretty good too

[steel stream]

the auto calculate and apply is hella nice

[edgy laurel]

its like the perfect down to the thousandth lol

[steel stream]

yeah I think for me it's like 138.704 lol

[topaz veldt]

I have never done anything more than settings in a game

[turbid locust]

[random flame]

Dammit, not the time to be forced to have to pick a phone before my mom decides to try and do it for me just out of the blue and have no idea which one to go with.

The reason being that my old XA2 has been starting to cut in and out of network connection in general at odd times.

I was hoping nothing would happen that would force my hand...

And then tonight, turns out she tried calling me while it disconnected itself... 20 times...

[hoary hatch]

Just buy your mom an iPhone

I swear I'm not being held at gunpoint by Timothy Cook

[random flame]

Uuuhhh she is the iPhone user.

[edgy laurel]

i think its for them, not their mom

[random flame]

And it's not her phone with the problem.

It's mine.

[livid flame]

Sounds like a conundrum

[random flame]

Which sucks... Too early.

[hoary hatch]

XA2 is too vague a name

[oak vector]

I love when my mum tries and helps me
But yk
Sometimes I just like doing it myself… cos I know how to.

[random flame]

Xperia XA2

[hoary hatch]

Xperia XA2 Ultra PSN?

Or is it just Xperia XA2, come on Wikipedia don't lie to me

Oh fuck it's the AI result, it looked like the Wikipedia box

[livid flame]

never trust the AI result

[hoary hatch]

Incredible that you're still using a midrange android handset from 2018

[random flame]

Well in this case, it's more of my mom being frustrated because she was driving back in the dark and she was calling me to open the gate for her, going as far as to pull over to try and call me. Thing is, she's pinning this as that while it was a minor thing, in the future potentially if something does happen to her, I'm the last person she'd be able to reach. That is a problem I can't have.

[hoary hatch]

I thought it was the Wikipedia box 💀
They changed the AI result to make it look more normal...bastards

[random flame]

Especially because it would be a double-edged sword for me if it was me needing to use my phone to call or text... At all.

[livid flame]

I remember seeing Google recently tell people that the AI result sucks. Yet they make it top line even if you don’t wanna see it

[random flame]

And before we can say wifi calling and RCS... Leeet's just say Google's apps particularly suck with enabling this, as in they hardly use it or won't switch over at all, even when I set them to enable that functionality.

[hoary hatch]

Usually this box is Wikipedia or similar

[random flame]

So yeah... I'm trying to find a new phone now, just so she doesn't try shoving one of our old iPhones on to me... An Android user.

And hope it even works right still too.

[hoary hatch]

Recent pixel A series
Cmf phone 2 series

Sony Xperia 10/5 series depending on region

Redmi/real me depending on region but I know nothing about those
Also Poco

[random flame]

As much as I want another Xperia, it seems like the stock for ones compatible with Verizon's network has all but dried up and I can't find means of ordering one online to ship here either. An unfortunate sign that now Sony's really pulling out.

[hoary hatch]

Ah, Verizon gang

[digital plume]

my phone detonated it's screen and a few weeks later i was met with an oppo

[random flame]

Yep, grandfathered even in terms of plans.

[digital plume]

I'm gonna use the oppo budget range phone for the next 5 years

[random flame]

We've been on their network for nearly 2 and half decades now.

[hoary hatch]

We used to be Verizon true unlimited LTE plan

But eventually they raised the rates and we didn't get tethering

[digital plume]

Sony's pulling too?

i miss LG phones

[random flame]

I kinda do, kinda don't miss LG?

[hoary hatch]

Sony has significantly decreased their smartphone portfolio over the last 5 years

They've danced around with being in the NA market at all

[random flame]

They've been chasing everybody else too much, so their phones stopped being a worthwhile standout.

[digital plume]

they made silly phones

[hoary hatch]

Although I've heard Sony mobile is somehow profitable

[random flame]

The Wing phone became their only outlier right before they quit and it wasn't exactly that great either.

Sorta sad.

I thought it was cool like they used to be.

[hoary hatch]

Never had an LG

[digital plume]

didn't the K8 or something like that come with a really good headphone jack

[hoary hatch]

I read lots of solder horror stories tho

[random flame]

My sister did, an EnVy 2.

[hoary hatch]

Friend had his LG G4 replaced 3 times

[hoary hatch]

Okay if we're going back that far...my first phone was an LG voyager

[digital plume]

i had one of the tiny compact ones i might still have it

[random flame]

Well just not in the states apparently.

[digital plume]

oh it was a G4

or g3 idk

[random flame]

Not as popular as the typical players.

[digital plume]

the rear volume and power buttons on lgs were the best

[random flame]

That, and underadvertised too.

[hoary hatch]

Sony has never had much of a US smartphone presence

[random flame]

Exactly.

That's why I kept hearing rumblings of them potentially leaving the market for us.

[hoary hatch]

In the early days HTC and Motorola were juggernauts, but quickly replaced by Samsung

[random flame]

Guess it was around now they started for real.

[random flame]

I do remember those days.

[hoary hatch]

I was/am such an HTC shill

[random flame]

I had the One M7 during when it was mainstream, mainly because I got a great deal on it.

... And ended up regretting it over time.

[hoary hatch]

I loved my droid incredible and droid DNA

Also my pixel 2 which was made by htc

My note4 was fine but ugh so samsungy

[random flame]

I wanted the DNA, but it wasn't on sale so I couldn't afford it, which kinda sucks.

[hoary hatch]

TouchWiz was a real war crime

[turbid locust]

I had an HTC for like 2 weeks till I smashed it lmao

[hoary hatch]

Mac binning phones???

[turbid locust]

Stop it

[random flame]

$99 for the two-year contract for a Droid DNA, then the One M7 on sale at $59 for the same contract length. I was just like "last year's phone with the screen I want and the durability I prefer is more expensive than the latest flagship? What is this treachery??"

[hoary hatch]

I'm not sure how I convinced my parents to get me it. It was $200 on contract while the rest of the family got Galaxy S3 for half the price.

I pretty much refused to use Samsung tho

Wait I read what you said wrong, you did have it rigjt

[random flame]

Ngl, I kinda wish there were good slider Droids from Moto back then to match that were on sale. Unfortunately, the timing was inconvenient when I went searching for my upgrade.

[random flame]

Nope. One M7, though I wanted the Droid DNA, but it wasn't on sale and I couldn't afford the price.

[hoary hatch]

I was looking at the droid 2 (r2d2 special release), but droid incredible was like $40-$50 on contract sale

Which I'm fine with, I loved my incredible

When I got my note4 I was eyeing the One M9, but, Costco paid us $100 each to upgrade to note4...

They were $100 on contract with a $100 Verizon rebate and $100 Costco shop card bonus

[random flame]

The Droid 4 was no longer on sale after a time when I was upgrading to One M7, which was sorta unfortunate. I still wanted a phone with a keyb, but of course it wasn't meant to be.

Now, I have an Xperia XA2 that I loved and served me well... And now it's having SIM problems and disconnects, plus the storage is probably wearing out by now. That won't do, and so I have to hunt again.

And my options are even more limited than before.

[hoary hatch]

Keyboard phones were effectively on life support by that time

I forgot how sick the droid x seemed back in the day

What a great name, too
Droid X

Droid does commercials were fantastic (I mean super cringe today but I was 13 back then, they were cool)

I'd love to experience the early days of android again. So much fun

[random flame]

Hooohhh boi. How am I such a masochist?

One's solid (Phone 3a), but I'm a Verizon user, so that's a lottery on service.
The other's close in spec with possibly better pricing (Razr 2024), but it's foldable with only a 2-year OS support on it.

[vagrant cargo]

i see alot of false crap on twitter when talking to people but this takes the cake

like i built a mini pc for my friend last year and since then he has changed majority of the parts

[hoary hatch]

I hear moto devices are stuffed full of ads

[pure garnet]

what is wrong with that post exactly

the cpu is soldered to the pcb

[vagrant cargo]

second half of it

[hasty grove]

this mobo good for 9800x3d? https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B650-AORUS-AX-Motherboard/dp/B0CMK1W2YX/ref=sr_1_1?

[pure garnet]

ram and storage would be the modular stuff

[hoary hatch]

But $200 for a flip is tempting
God having disposable income is a curse

[vagrant cargo]

case, gpu, fans and cooling, ram amongst other various things can be altered

[pure garnet]

like besides maybe a wifi card what else is supposed to be modular

the gpu is also going to be soldered to the pcb

[vagrant cargo]

depends what mini pc case you have

[pure garnet]

they're mobile parts repurposed

[vagrant cargo]

and what motherboard

[pure garnet]

did you think the steam pc was using am5 or something

[hoary hatch]

Locked

[vagrant cargo]

no i stated to him that you can upgrade more than just ram and storage on a mini pc

[hoary hatch]

And out of stock

[random flame]

Not exactly disposable, nor is mine or my fam's sanity either. I really want the Phone 3a, but that's probably asking for the same headaches I'm having right now with my XA2, just right off the bat with a brand new phone because service with Verizon is dodgy with all of Nothing's devices for all I know.

[vagrant cargo]

he mentioned steam machine , but then added in the setence "its a mini pc and in that space those are the only upgradeable options

enough tinkering and you can change anything

side note : im considering buying a dr pepper can shaped mini fridge emptying everything out of it and then turning it into a pc just for fun

not sure if a dr pepper can mini fridge exsists though

i know coca cola has one

[random flame]

So basically, you're just making the "with the tenacity to go through with it" point and all then.
Makes sense for an argument if that's all you're trying to tell him.

[hoary hatch]

I've never been brave enough to try a device not sanctioned by Verizon

I am brave enough to try Samsung modems in pixels and it's been fine

[random flame]

I mean, I was brave enough to get a phone from a brand that literally was on no one's mind whenever they first go out to find to upgrade to and I've never regretted that decision once.

However, without my own disposable income (yet) and even if I did have such, I'd rather not try and screw with Verizon's IMEI system, let alone put hapless employee to my customer support through the trouble of trying to do it to no avail (even if it is their job) because that frustration is mine... And they can't have it. Lmao.

It has a campaign

[vestal granite]

how would you prefer to get murdered

gravity hammer or energy sword

in fact, the campaign is the main part of halo believe it or not

[low sorrel]

It's the only part I've played

[hoary hatch]

I don't think I've ever played the multiplayer

[vestal granite]

ive accidentally played it before

[low sorrel]

Energy sword is a light saber change my mind

[edgy laurel]

the oldest video on my channel

[vestal granite]

halo 3 the multiplayer was a big deal but i was a squeaker so i couldnt play multiplayer games

this is a source of a lot of internalized trauma for me actually

and thats why im nice on the internet cause people have wronged me and im pretending to be nice so i can wrong everybody all at once or something

they said mean things to me when I was a kid playing call of duty

[edgy laurel]

you are an enigma, pepe

[low sorrel]

Idk I played CS with voice chat since I was 5

I've been called slurs too much

[vestal granite]

CS is different, PC gamers are historically nicer than console gamers

[edgy laurel]

hate to break it to you but they said mean things to all of us as a kid playing call of duty

[young void]

No one was safe from kingslongdongsilver, showed no mercy there was always one with a username like this and they where a menace in every lobby

[vestal granite]

nah but for me personally like i would just get DOS'd/booted offline whenever i talked in a call of duty lobby

[edgy laurel]

though I got out of console gaming before online play really became a thing.

the only time I played a console online, Xbox Live had just launched and all I had was Mech Assault

to play Halo online, I had to use some software on my Mac that would act as a server browser, then they would show up as system link local games on my Xbox

[vestal granite]

thats crazy youre old

[edgy laurel]

shoot, i can't remember the brand name. it was a popular gaming brand thats now dead

[young void]

Halo one online for pc was also wicked xD

[edgy laurel]

for multiplayer gaming

[young void]

That pyramid map

[vestal granite]

ive heard of this

[edgy laurel]

gamespy server browser and XBConnect

[young void]

Not many images from custom edition

[edgy laurel]

and if your Xbox was on the same LAN, you'd join a lobby and it would essentially VPN everyton together

then the game would just appear on your XBox as a local system link game

and you could chat through the gamespy software

it was wild

this was in like 2000/2001

[young void]

Good times all around

[vestal granite]

i wonder what kind of programming was involved with that

[edgy laurel]

also I used to drag my Xbox and 13" CRT TV to my buddies house for sleepovers. we'd system link our Xboxs together and do 8player multiplayer

[vestal granite]

cause right now i dont even know how i would possibly make software do that with modern tools

[edgy laurel]

don't remember Hamachi?

[vestal granite]

i remember hamachi but i wouldnt know how to like program hamachi u know what i mean

[edgy laurel]

well, sure, i wouldn't either lol

[vestal granite]

better UI than most things today

[edgy laurel]

XBox onliine before Xbox Live

[vestal granite]

just remove the 3D effect on the buttons and its basically timeless

its a cool effect with the gradient though makes it look like one of those fuel cells in halo or something

[edgy laurel]

https://www.westaby.net/2016/01/reminiscing-about-xbconnect/

[livid flame]

Lack of servers is a stark reminder that the whole of gaming got WoWified

Well server select I guess

[edgy laurel]

I still remember the two Hunters on The Silent Cartographer on Legendary

[livid flame]

Just like you can’t be trusted to use LFG. You can’t be trusted to to use LFS

[vestal granite]

was that in Halo: CE

i googled this and it looks like a place i mightve seen before

[edgy laurel]

yes, this mission. looking forward to playing it again https://youtu.be/AMGJ7OMqyvI

[vestal granite]

hunters are always a traumatic experience for me to fight so i remember most of them

[edgy laurel]

that video is as old as i am

[livid flame]

That would make me feel older if I started having kids around your age

[vestal granite]

some of these people are gonna be 50 in 2035

[livid flame]

I probably should have. Then they’d look after me in my old age instead of throw me in a nursing home

2038 for me

Does that mean you consider me young Pepe?

[vestal granite]

when you're old can you find out where old people get all the butterscotch/cinnamon/etc hard candies and send the information to wikileaks

[livid flame]

Wikileaks still exists?

I thought it died when snowden and assange gave up

[vestal granite]

i usually say 0-25 young, 25+ adult, 35+ middle aged, 50+ adult v2, 60+ old, 70+ elderly thats my measurement

[livid flame]

Fuck man

You think 35 is middle age?

[vestal granite]

it really depends cause some people have a real hard 35 and some have a real easy 35

[livid flame]

I mean technically you’re probably not wrong but that’s reserved for 45-60 imo

[vestal granite]

35 is just the time to buy a camaro so I call it middle aged as i associate camaros with a midlife crisis

but it depends on your lifespan

[livid flame]

At 35 I had 2 kids under 3

I’d only wanna live til like 90+ if I knew something super exciting was going to happen

When you die at that age it’s literally just weeks of being a vegetable in bed hanging on

Cancer sort of the same. Could be a week, a few or even just a couple of days and you become a skeleton. Would rather someone euthanises me in my sleep if that happens

Watched my aunt turn from healthy looking to see her last breath in 5 days. Shed like 50% of her weight in that time trying to stay alive

[vestal granite]

im stubborn and that would require too much courage for me to do so id probably tank the agony in the hospital

[livid flame]

You don’t know about it tbh

You’re literally a vegetable, no idea what’s going on. Your body is very good to you like that

[vestal granite]

oh if i dont know whats going on then yeah someone needs to spray-foam the IV

but if im just like death bed but still chilling eating horrible hospital meatloaf i would probably not be able to give up on the meatloaf

[livid flame]

The death rattle in the throat is insane also

[livid lantern]

No idea how doctors say it’s painless, sounds like death is literally in you

Is a 850w psu enough for a 9800x3d and a 5080 plus 32gb ram and 4tb storage? Im wiindow shopping and ill maybe upgrade my gpu from a 4070S next year. My currnt psu is the msi a850gl 80+ gold. Ps. The recommended psu for the 5080 is 1000w and I dont really want to spend a lot more unless necessary. Couple of reddit posts regarding said 850w is enough. Still looking for suggestions tho.

[livid flame]

Theoretically yes

I’d prefer a 1k

[late marsh]

Never cheap out on PSU, especially considering your other parts. A reliable 1000W model should not cost too much more than 850W one.

Might even suggest one - NZXT C1000 is quite affordable all things considered.

[topaz veldt]

A 1000w PSU is not much more than a decent 850w

[late marsh]

Yeah, the MSI MAG A850GL is B-tier in the tier list - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?gid=1719706335&pru=AAABmsocX7Y*ATAt3t3DilR_of2i2KPb3A#gid=931697732
So it's not a hazard, that might also be enough for given system, just that 150W more power is better.

[topaz veldt]

I guess if you already have an 850W you can see how it goes

[proven saddle]

[topaz veldt]

i have no opinion

[warped mountain]

$29,995 with no roof is about $10k too much. At the original price for $19,995 I could see it selling very well. Optioned into the mid 40's no absolutely not.

[low sorrel]

20k was orginal price before ev tax credit removal

[warped mountain]

I know it needed to stay that low even without the credit. The loss of credit kinda DOA it when it has terrible range and the fact of the matter is you could just buy a used 25,000 mile model 3 if you want the electric car for $20,000.

Wouldnt recommend going for that b850 from asrock.

[heavy gulch]

Why, and any alternatives?

[patent sail]

I haven't used 3DMark much, but don't think the CPU test is supposed to dip this much randomly right?

[brisk jolt]

Asrock's 800 series are known to kill CPUs, rare but I'd avoid it.

[topaz veldt]

havent run CPU test specifically to know

[brisk jolt]

TimeSpy is not a CPU oriented test.

I dont' really understand the use case for this. If you get a good PSU to begin with, the fan noise is rarely a concern

[pseudo bane]

this is what I use

[brisk jolt]

a fanless SFX psu at 850w would be so fire in the future

[topaz veldt]

Yah i agree, and if it needs the fan, it uses the fan. But completely fanless sounds like a bad idea in 2025

[steel stream]

yeah I've never had an issue with my PSU fan

[proven saddle]

I use some thermalright one what i bought 2 years or so

tbh I need to get some more, I haven't been messing with PC recently

[proven saddle]

the only situation where passive cooling makes sense is when you’re trying to prevent the need to disassemble and clean, especially if the device is going in a dusty environment

[pure garnet]

[hoary hatch]

Noooo

I blame akn

[wise bear]

@steel stream defend yourself

[shell void]

there’s more than one available

[steel stream]

it's true it's my fault

[wise bear]

THANKS AKN

[hoary hatch]

:(

[steel stream]

I'm meant to keep Navy updated on all TC2 things and didn't send him an a message this morning my b

[hoary hatch]

I wanna buy a keyboard that I do not need

[wise bear]

I'm very much not looking forward to post-christmas tech support in here

[hoary hatch]

Peyton just tag my name for all the dumbass questions

[wise bear]

I gotchu

[hoary hatch]

I don't have push notifications I will not mind

[wise bear]

you missed some rartation in tc1 so far

[spiral quarry]

I just opened it

[wise bear]

Also i called it that daniel mf IS sketch, dude's doing RAG with discord messages

[zenith apex]

No amount of storage balancing is gonna save me from red lines soon

[steel stream]

I'm trying to troll /rage bait with my OLED stuff

[hoary hatch]

Linus?

Let's get it started but not the radio version

[wise bear]

what

[spiral quarry]

Man I wanna eat something but I got a doctor appointment and they're gonna take my blood lol.

[wise bear]

so

[hoary hatch]

Have you heard of our Lord and Savior 8TB nvme

[zenith apex]

too broke for NVMe

i'm planning to build a 4x2TB NAS though

[hoary hatch]

You should build an all nvme nas for 12GB/s sustained speeds

[wise bear]

the magic of blood testing is that if you see "w/ reflex" that means you can actually eat something (tell the phleb this if you do pls), so if the test sees a high blood sugar or triglycerides, it'll perform other tests automagically to expand on the failed test to check other variables

[hoary hatch]

This chat has never gone through that before

[zenith apex]

limited by GigEth

to think that i used to run only on 1TB most of my PC life

[whole coral]

Ngl I need to fix my high LDL cholesterol

[zenith apex]

i'm becoming a data hoarder

[whole coral]

My triglycerides are excellent atleast

It’s a 74. Normal is <150

[hoary hatch]

I have so little data that I actually need to keep

[wise bear]

high good cholesterol helps keep LDL regulated to an extent. neither forms being high is good, but if you're gonna have one be high, make it hdl

[hoary hatch]

Other than photos

[topaz veldt]

so do I have some sort of issue or is this just normal lame shit you think

[hoary hatch]

Most of my data is just photos

[shell void]

probably just blackwell problems tbh it's kind of a broken architecture

[wise bear]

was ist issue?

[edgy laurel]

stop hoarding stuff you probably don't need?

[zenith apex]

internet speed sucked, so i rather keep them

[topaz veldt]

Shit like this, but on Nvidia 5090 / 285K https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/1mnf110/i_get_this_graphical_issue_whenever_i_alt_tab/

[hoary hatch]

You should get 2gig fiber

[zenith apex]

I think a solid 1/5th of my entire storage is just AI models that i occasionally come back to

[zenith apex]

then you're limited by CDNs

[pure garnet]

pro tip: delete them

[topaz veldt]

I have vSphere templates of Ubuntu 8.04

[pure garnet]

then you’ll have 1/5th more storage

[wise bear]

Iiii have never seen that

[topaz veldt]

its weird af right

[wise bear]

its like electron having a shitfit

[zenith apex]

The only real solution is building more NAS
which is what i wanna do

[wise bear]

or is it CEF

[shell void]

yeah i see this several times per day every day, it's a blackwell hardware accel problem

i get graphical errors in discord, chrome, and spotify

[pure garnet]

my ai girlfriend is taking over more hard drives

i can’t keep financing more to keep her happy much longer

[topaz veldt]

OK cool - so my other, other 5090 isn't dying

I get a weird one @shell void where that scroll shit happens, but I also have one where if I am in BF6 and alt-tab into Discord my mouse hovering leaves like a boxed trail of random "revealed" text

[wise bear]

I haven't had any chromium graphics issues since moving to the 5070ti tbh

[shell void]

im curious if the same issue exists on w10 21h2

[topaz veldt]

like updated text

[shell void]

ill install w10 21h2 on my 1.6tb p5800x when that arrives

[wise bear]

okay that sounds like dwm is having a fit

[pure garnet]

i haven’t had any issues on discord/spotify but i don’t use chrome anymore

[topaz veldt]

I just reinstalled Win11 25H2 today at 5AM because Redhat broke mine

[wise bear]

nah if you're getting the trail of revealing™ that's dwm.exe being cranky for any number of reasons

[hoary hatch]

Excuse me

21H2 in the year of our Lord 25H2

Are you mad 😡

[turbid locust]

biweekly crypto purchases done

[south shuttle]

[turbid locust]

Bitcoin and XRP down rn

[steel stream]

what happened to crypto it's jsut tanking

[hoary hatch]

Do I start mining now

[wise bear]

it got too hard to mine so less people care about it now

[topaz veldt]

@shell void I got a bunch of these to chuck out

[hoary hatch]

I pay for electric tho

Actually my roommate pays for electric

😈

[wise bear]

do you like your roommate

[shell void]

im curious if the hardware accel bugs exist in 21h2

[hoary hatch]

Generally yes, but he's a slob

[shell void]

i do two partitions on my drive so reinstalling is lightwork

[hoary hatch]

And he makes too much money

[pure garnet]

i mean i’m on 24h2

[wise bear]

does the bitch never do dishes or vacuum?

[hoary hatch]

Bro gets so much fast food delivered

[hoary hatch]

Nada

[wise bear]

God I'm glad I broke that phase of having money

I'd order $80 of fast food like every 3-4 days

[hoary hatch]

But he subsidizes my living expenses

[green marsh]

this still hurts my brain. and this is a "cheap" listing

$81/32GB module

[topaz veldt]

I know 🙂

sorry, not to take joy in it

[wise bear]

fuck you ai techbros

making all our shit expensive >:C

[young void]

Alot of them are just renting out their rigs lol outside the corporate bubble, but still an issue

[wise bear]

Fuck outta tc2 this is our repreive from dumbasses like you

(not you worm 💕 )

[green marsh]

i mean only use case for it would be to max out a second X99 rig which i don't use anyway, so it's not like it hurts me that much, with ~670GB of RAM i got through all of my systems

[odd bison]

It's public server 😼

[pure garnet]

i think we should increase ram prices more

so most people don’t build computers

[odd bison]

If he still want to see my message why u have you blocked me so dumb

[wise bear]

YEAH make all the dumb kids buy consoles so we don't have to deal with "idk how to build this"

[topaz veldt]

I don't F with DDR3

[green marsh]

i wonder if i will be able to sell my G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4x16GB DDR4-3200CL14 for more than i bought them for

[steep elbow]

shi ddr2?

[topaz veldt]

I have a server filled with 32GB DDR3 ECC I should throw out

[odd bison]

Don't say bad about ddr3 it was goated in 2010

[steep elbow]

lol

[livid flame]

Oh boy

[wise bear]

5nail only works with EDO

[shell void]

you could sell a few dimms and pickup a 1.6TB P5800X like i did

[steep elbow]

give it 2 me

[topaz veldt]

I need more 5090s first

[livid flame]

Snail works with every RAM but the one you ask for

[wise bear]

gross, don't beg

[steep elbow]

[pure garnet]

[turbid locust]

Buy the tank sell the run. You only lose if you sell

[odd bison]

[topaz veldt]

[steep elbow]

[livid flame]

You’re the sort of kid to ask for a bond on osrs

[wise bear]

[green marsh]

(for context, i bought that 64GB kit back in 2018 for 975 euros - current 64GB DDR4 prices for non-B-die is 340 euros or so)

[steep elbow]

NO-no NO -you are scaring MEEE

[livid flame]

I don’t even think ddr3 is manufactured anymore though

[topaz veldt]

ok not much

[green marsh]

aliexpress sellers make "new DDR3"

[odd bison]

Names as ddr6

[livid flame]

Your mum is an Ali express seller

[wise bear]

you beg for hardware while having this in your profile is mega

[odd bison]

[livid flame]

I lold

[steep elbow]

i bought it by watching quest ads

[topaz veldt]

where did all these white names come from

[wise bear]

I teehee'd tbh

[livid flame]

It’s like a rich kid saying “I made a multi million pound company all on my own” after daddy’s massive loans

[livid flame]

I could make mine green but tbfh I don’t wanna sign up to the forums

[wise bear]

I raise my argument of yesterday about how we should make tc2 invite-only

[steep elbow]

nah tapes two sticks togeter

[livid flame]

Like signing up to the forums making my name green is just lame tbh.

[green marsh]

but yeah, even Aliexpress DDR3 have gone up a little bit - i bought the 8GB DDR3-1600 for sub-10 euros some time ago

[livid flame]

Greening people that never contribute just for being on forums is lame

[wise bear]

get greened nerd

[livid flame]

IIRC ddr3 went up like 20%

[pure garnet]

i mean is blue any different

[livid flame]

Surprised you didn’t tell me to get blue’s

[odd bison]

🤑

[pure garnet]

it’s the “paid $5 award”

[livid flame]

Tbh atleast ya paid

[green marsh]

i run my sad little N2930 mini PC with a single 4GB SODIMM module

[livid flame]

I’m too tight for that

[wise bear]

honestly I'm mega glad I have like 96gb of ddr4, 32 of ddr3, and 64 of ddr5

yall mfs out here just-

[steep elbow]

and them uses a tesla coil to shock them and sell it as "brand new"

[topaz veldt]

There's no chance

[livid flame]

I’m like a nuns Minnie with money sometimes

[odd bison]

Ddr5 +ddr4 = ddr8

[wise bear]

I spent too much too fast and my financial guy had to be all "girl, stop"

[odd bison]

Ddr8 enough for gta6

[livid flame]

That math is so wrong

[odd bison]

Nah 1 ddr I ate

[livid flame]

I don’t believe that for a second

[odd bison]

Yummy

[topaz veldt]

I wonder what 512GB of PC4 2666v is worth on ebay

[odd bison]

[steep elbow]

just like ps 1 + ps5 = ps 6, but gta 5+ vice city = another delay

[wise bear]

considering all of my holdings are taxable income when pulled, yes he said it

[odd bison]

They ain't dropping it before 2027
