[merry stirrup]

you can do that any day with the right mindset

[steel stream]

no because I have to buy groceries tomorrow

I need my cinnamon sugar dots pretzels

[pure garnet]

loong nia failed to wake from sleep, i’m buying a mac mini at this rate

[merry stirrup]

this sounds fire

[merry stirrup]

it’s over

[steel stream]

dude I hella recommend, you ever had dots pretzels before?

[pure garnet]

on god

[merry stirrup]

no neva

[brave panther]

bmw sucks ass for snow

[fervent chasm]

I can’t turn off my traction control, only DSC

[merry stirrup]

where do i find them

[steel stream]

they're at my meijers and costco

[merry stirrup]

i will come over shortly

[hoary hatch]

Costco carries them over here

Idk about regular supermarkets

I've never looked

[steel stream]

these and the regular versions (red colored bag) are so fucking good

[hoary hatch]

But I'd imagine WinCo and Freddie's carry them

[merry stirrup]

this sounds incredible

[fervent chasm]

Oh the red ones are so good but so expensive

[hoary hatch]

Regular and honey mustard

[merry stirrup]

idk what freddie’s is but i’ll try

[fervent chasm]

Honey mustard I hate it

[hoary hatch]

Fred Meyer

[merry stirrup]

honey mustard smacks always i’d be down

[fervent chasm]

Anything other than the original red flavor sucks

[merry stirrup]

oh ok

[steel stream]

i'm not a fan of the honey mustard so I stay away

[hoary hatch]

I'm sorry the locals convinced me to call it freddies

[steel stream]

the cinnamon sugars are goated

[hoary hatch]

Aka Kroger

[merry stirrup]

why would you listen to them they’re weird

[hoary hatch]

I'm not a fan of you

[merry stirrup]

yeah true

[steel stream]

please forgive me :(

[fervent chasm]

I wish they weren’t so expensive tho

[hoary hatch]

No

[fervent chasm]

They get up to like $9 or more for a bag some places

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/toby-cry-phone-spider-man-cry-phone-spider-man-phone-toby-phone-gif-12875606672124040541

[hoary hatch]

The Costco bag is $8 usually

[merry stirrup]

carl junior

[fervent chasm]

Yah that’s a lot for pretzels but it’s worth it

[steel stream]

no cinnamon sugar though

[merry stirrup]

just realized my falllut 4 save i’ve been playing while at my gfs house is on her steam profile

man

i have like 12 hours on it

[fervent chasm]

I played overwatch 2 all day and I’m burned out from it

[hoary hatch]

It's a pretty big bag

But also you're paying for that seasoning

[fervent chasm]

Making homemade pizza later tonight

[hoary hatch]

If it was just normal salted stick pretzels it would be a lot

[fervent chasm]

The dough is rising rn

[merry stirrup]

its like 5 cents i’m sure

[fervent chasm]

Yah I doubt the seasoning costs them a lot extra

[hoary hatch]

So worth it

[merry stirrup]

they are yummy howher

[steel stream]

35 Oz bags

[hoary hatch]

No but it differentiates the product and allows them to charge more

[merry stirrup]

i’ve had the red one i think

[steel stream]

plus it's so good

[merry stirrup]

after looking them up

[steel stream]

i've got the parm garlic rn and it's good, not great

[fervent chasm]

But you can’t have a lot at a time, I get bored of them too fast if I eat too much

I guess you can say that for anything

[merry stirrup]

i bet cinnamon sugar would have a word with you

[hoary hatch]

That one is good too

[steel stream]

they're like cinnamon toast crunch but like 10x better

[merry stirrup]

i’m so down then

[steel stream]

you could probably eat them like cereal

[fervent chasm]

With milk?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[fervent chasm]

Yo did you know there’s people who eat cereal with fucking water

I despise those people

[merry stirrup]

i despise you

[pure garnet]

fork and water

[merry stirrup]

fork and knife

[steel stream]

struggle meal

[fervent chasm]

My struggle meal is ramen

[steel stream]

it's not great but I understand

[merry stirrup]

i don’t like the people who like grip their utensils with a fist

[steel stream]

yeah that's not cool

[fervent chasm]

How tho, what if you’re holding down a steak with one hand with a fist with a fork and the other hand normal with a knife

[turbid locust]

no

[merry stirrup]

i don’t do thay

[steel stream]

i cut normally

[turbid locust]

when I’m eating steak I just eat left handed

[merry stirrup]

you just push it against the plate bro it’s not too deep

i’m left handed so

i gotta flip

[turbid locust]

I don’t do the American switch

[turbid locust]

google it

[fervent chasm]

I’m left handed with writing, right handed with like throwing, left handed with eating, it’s so weird

[merry stirrup]

i eat right handed is what i’m sayin

[viral iron]

Anyone else’s exchange down

[merry stirrup]

i used to use my mouse left handed

[fervent chasm]

I can’t imagine my mouse on the left

[steel stream]

I sometimes do it depending on how nice the place is and what I am doing

[turbid locust]

I just cbf to switch

I’m like basically ambidextrous so idgaf

[steel stream]

but most times I am eating with fork in left knife in right

[merry stirrup]

all left handed people are

like i one hand my phone in my right hand

[fervent chasm]

If it’s spoon I’ll use left if it’s fork I’ll use right

[merry stirrup]

freak shit

[fervent chasm]

No I have a good reason trust

[pure garnet]

i’m either left handed and ignored it or ambidextrous because i do stuff with both

[steel stream]

if I am using one utensil it goes in the right, but if I am using a knife, the non knife utensil goes to the left

[pure garnet]

when it came time to learn how to write i just copied the guy next to me

[fervent chasm]

Nvm it’s not a good reason

[pure garnet]

didn't really think about which felt better

[fervent chasm]

My teacher forced me to choose a hand because I wrote with both, I think this was like 1st grade

And I chose the fucking left hand and now I get pencil led all over it

[merry stirrup]

there’s performative left handed people

[pure garnet]

i hold my phone in my left though

[merry stirrup]

i just can’t use markers or non quick dry pens

i generally just do document stuff digitally so it’s just not a problem

[turbid locust]

I used to write with both hands simultaneously for fun

to fw people

[fervent chasm]

I use my right for my phone

[merry stirrup]

most ui’s are designed for the right hand so

i do that

[fervent chasm]

my laptop comes tomorrow YIPEE

[merry stirrup]

so much easier to press send or something with my right than left hand

[fervent chasm]

I won’t be home till Saturday tho :(

I can’t wait to compare the 2 laptops

It better be a noticeable difference or I’ll crash out because $200 is a lot

[merry stirrup]

i come home friday

so tomorrow

[steel stream]

now imagine typing with both hands, that would really throw people off

[turbid locust]

Akn..

[fervent chasm]

Performative day usage

[steel stream]

what?

[fervent chasm]

Why’s your icon bread

[steel stream]

it's my roll

[fervent chasm]

How do I get a bread

[merry stirrup]

i just forgot

[steel stream]

you just had to be there

[fervent chasm]

Where

[steel stream]

there

[fervent chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/мініпіґ-поросячі-землі-хрютґ-svinobot-news-свинка-gif-6006049630114807288

[steel stream]

I just said it

a while back during the huge controversy thing, there was a special message you could react to to get the bread role, but it's gone now

[fervent chasm]

I’m gonna try the vPro stuff in that laptop to see if it’s of any use to me

[leaden dawn]

Loaf

[turbid locust]

My pc is too slow

[leaden dawn]

Linux

[arctic bronze]

a gigabyte of ram should fix the issue

[edgy laurel]

What is that?

[turbid locust]

AGREE

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-uhh-side-eye-ok-gif-18169988

[turbid locust]

wack ass

[turbid locust]

Linux is for cope

Linux is cope

[leaden dawn]

I was about to say windows is literally cope

[arctic bronze]

linux is xunil spelt backwards

[leaden dawn]

SOcaM

[arctic bronze]

remove the O and you have Scam

[turbid locust]

the functional OS is cope yeah sure bud

[turbid locust]

go play valorant on Linux

use an adobe app on Linux

[leaden dawn]

I play Warframe and use GIMP I'm good

😩

[turbid locust]

You are a gimp

do literally anything on Linux

share your screen in discord on Linux

[leaden dawn]

Ok

[turbid locust]

install game mods on Linux

[leaden dawn]

Ok

frostbite is the only engine I have unsuccessfully done

[turbid locust]

configure a third party launcher to play basic games

[leaden dawn]

Ok

[turbid locust]

Linux mfs after playing a game for 30 mins after it took them 3 hours to configure it enough to function

https://tenor.com/view/conor-mc-gregor-walk-ufc-swag-gif-14535081

proton isn’t real

proton is software slop you only like it cause it makes your games run

[edgy plaza]

@leaden dawn what's GIMP?

[leaden dawn]

GNU Image Manipulation Program

[edgy plaza]

Oh ok

[leaden dawn]

Windows defender is software slop, you only like it because you would get zero days otherwise

[turbid locust]

Open source software when it comes with less features and a worse user experience

https://tenor.com/view/swag-gif-23454285

[leaden dawn]

Proprietary programs when they are written by large uncoordinated teams and AI

(It has memory leaks and runs slowly)

[turbid locust]

Memory leaks aren’t a problem if you aren’t poor

[leaden dawn]

Tell that to xyz buffer overflow exploit

🦀

[topaz veldt]

Lol ok this is where I don't by agree

[turbid locust]

that’s because you’re a contrarian

[topaz veldt]

Lol let me tell your about memory leaks despite having 3TB+ of RAM....

[turbid locust]

you only disagree because public perception told you to

[pure garnet]

linux is great for teenagers who have nothing better to do than mess with their desktop

then it gets thrown on a server where it belongs when you get old

but i'd rather unpin something from my taskbar every 6 months vs spend 3 hours getting a game running

[turbid locust]

install more dumbass

[pure garnet]

clearly you need 6tb of ram 5nail

[turbid locust]

is a bottle leaky because you overfill it?

no. so

[leaden dawn]

Assuming it's about unpinning an app and not literally anything else

[brave panther]

lol forza horizon 4 has a memory leak on first start lol
you need to delete couple of files from its directory to fix it

[turbid locust]

false

[brave panther]

fake

[steel stream]

real

[turbid locust]

Linux is great if you don’t value your time

nobody with real work to do uses that slop

[brave panther]

depends on what you define as "real work"

[pure garnet]

i boot into it to write c++ then reboot back to windows when it's time to play games

[turbid locust]

we all know what I mean

[leaden dawn]

That's because "industry standard" is for conformists

[pure garnet]

you mean employed people?

[leaden dawn]

I don't think I need windows to cook food

[turbid locust]

The industry standard is the industry standard for a reason

[pure garnet]

i'll respect flipping burgers over unemployed though

[turbid locust]

Linux users are the kids that wore hoodies in the summer

[steel stream]

i just write c++ in windows it's too easy

[pure garnet]

good job

[pure garnet]

i could've just setup wsl but i prefer having all my school stuff split off anyway

[leaden dawn]

I can't degrade myself to do the personality quizzes required for that sort of thing these days

[steel stream]

i just use laptop for school and work now, PC is just games

[pure garnet]

my semester is fully virtual i may as well use 2 monitors over 1 laptop

[steel stream]

fair

[brave panther]

virtual machines

[steel stream]

it's school work not matters of national defense

[hoary hatch]

Huhhh

PTL 12 xe core "comparable" to strix halo?!

I guess I don't know how much each one costs

But surely strix halo is more expensive

I would say Intel does not have a strix halo competitor

[steel stream]

amd is just waffling

[pure garnet]

oh yeah lemme spend hours a day with no gpu acceleration

[steel stream]

<@&750150305383186585>

[brave panther]

njah, vgpu

[hoary hatch]

Large panther lake is half the die space of AI 395+ max pro ultra extreme artificial intelligence

That's including the filler dies

Oh shit I'm so wrong
The base tile doubles the size

Okay yes, pantherlakepantherlakepantherlake is comparable to strix halo

[turbid locust]

<@&750150305383186585>s explode this guy

[random flame]

Is it actually though?

[hoary hatch]

By AMD maths, yes

By real comparison, no

[edgy laurel]

If I ever get hacked and start sending those images, just ban me

[hoary hatch]

Strix halo is a much larger chip
Far more compute

[random flame]

So then what would a Panther Lake CPU with the largest XE3 igpu tile be comparable to?

[hoary hatch]

Strix point refresh

Gorgon point is the name?

[shell void]

amd is damage controlling because strix point is obsolete

but if this leads to price cuts on strix halo then it’s a W for consumers

[hoary hatch]

Fixed AMDs slide best I can on mobile

[edgy laurel]

is all this panther lake stuff for laptops

[hoary hatch]

Ryzen AI 300 = 400 basically
Die size and specs is very comparable to panther lake

[shell void]

yeah these chips we’re talking about are all mobile or embedded

[hoary hatch]

Yes
Laptop market is very big

[edgy laurel]

🥱 i'm sure the corporate acquisitions guys are real excited

[hoary hatch]

Gonna be very disappointed when Nova lake ships on N2

[shell void]

big panther lake is for thin laptops or handhelds, but AMD wants the media to compare it against their giant strix halo that uses twice as much power and is mainly used by AI bros

because their actual competitor for panther lake gets annihilated

[hoary hatch]

Genuinely Intel has no strix halo competitor

[shell void]

rip arrow lake halo

at least nova lake halo is still in production afaik

[hoary hatch]

N2 🥶

[shell void]

52 cores and a 256bit Xe3 gpu will be cool

[hoary hatch]

Oh wait laptop halo?

[shell void]

yeah laptop/embedded

[hoary hatch]

I thought you meant 56 core

[shell void]

i mean it’s gonna use the same compute tiles as desktop

but with a different soc and big igpu

a real strix halo type competitor

[random flame]

The real question is how much we will care when it eventually comes along.

[shell void]

i have no use for a giant apu in a laptop or mini pc personally

panther lake is the exciting lineup for normal people buying a laptop

[hoary hatch]

If it's fabbed at Intel I will care
If it's Taiwanese LEGO I will yawn

The most interesting product to me is wildcat lake

[random flame]

I would only care if I could put something like that in a desktop socket.

[hoary hatch]

18a "monolithic compute"

I just hope Intel continues to develop nodes because I don't want to move from Portland

[shell void]

i wonder if we’ll see some chinese companies putting panther lake on matx boards with pcie slots

iirc the small gpu variant has 12 pcie 5 lanes

you could get one m.2 and one x8 gpu

[shell void]

14A in portland soon brother 🙏

[hoary hatch]

P1280 grind in H2 😎

[frank zealot]

Replacement power cord for lenovo pcs. Instead of the annoying proprietary brick, it's usb c

[edgy laurel]

oh. Looked like some weird Firewire to Type C thing which didn't make any sense

[shell void]

[steel stream]

goateddddd

just had to apply for NXp semiconductor internships after being turned down from Intel

i should send intel my white knighting messagen history from here

that would work

[shell void]

it would work on pat for sure

lippy doesn’t care

[turbid locust]

chat do I buy H24M from hwbot

[steel stream]

true

[steel stream]

i've got some hynix 24m you can have

for $800

[turbid locust]

you can lick me for $800

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-suspicious-puppet-gif-2729624127692369191

$750?

[pure garnet]

may as well

[turbid locust]

Cutting into 9850X3D budget

7600c36 1.45v tho

[pure garnet]

is that really that hot of a bin

8000cl38 1.35v is my kit

[turbid locust]

no but it’s non cudimm H24M

which is like the last thing I need lmao

[pure garnet]

i wish i had a spare kit so i could sell this kit

[brisk jolt]

i will never get over this fuckass AMD AI naming scheme

[random flame]

Now what will happen if Intel does the same. Lol.

[brisk jolt]

please no core ultra is good enough

[topaz veldt]

So anyway I started blasting

Qty 200 haul, average $115-140/ea

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/horrified-funny-face-dang-ice-cube-gif-12839544880309883282

that's my semester tuition right there!

[edgy laurel]

bayyyby gurl, whats your name (peanuts voice)

[steel stream]

5nail you literally have 200 gold bricks right there

[edgy laurel]

just gotta start making these

fuck rolex

DOMINATOR

[shell void]

shii i could make several of these

[brisk jolt]

thats some fire you’re playing with

[steel stream]

sadly i've only got the ripjaw model

[random flame]

That looks so bulky af.

[shell void]

intel earnings call finished about an hr ago, mr lippy said that nova lake is still planned for late 2026

[steel stream]

not quite as premium

[edgy laurel]

there is a crowd thats into that

[random flame]

... Damn, that reminded me of how much I wanted a Pebble.

[steel stream]

shiii i need to get my money up

[brisk jolt]

o shii- I might scrap ARL and hold myself back till then and just buy on launch

[edgy laurel]

that ROG bridge was

such a pain, locked you into certain boards due to spacing

I had a flexi bridge

[shell void]

what did u want an arrowlake pc for again? did u say htpc?

if you want a tiny intel computer then a panther lake mini pc would be cute

[oak vector]

35,000 aud in ram
That’s nuts

[topaz veldt]

I have another... 70ish DIMMs upstairs too

[oak vector]

yeah I can’t even fathom that haha

[shell void]

i wonder how long he'll be CEO and who will replace him

he's going to be reaping the benefits of Pat's planning for the next few years

[oak vector]

We love AI

[topaz veldt]

He'll be gone within 2 years is my opinion

[oak vector]

Thank you phone
AI = AU apparently

I guess Australia is ai generated now 😔

[shell void]

if we kept pat then we'd probably be hearing about Apple x Intel 14A contracts by now

but with Lip it's "we want to wait for customers before investing more capital"

[topaz veldt]

Its honestly unfathomable that they booted Pat

[oak vector]

rip apple x intel
Tho dam I wouldn’t mind a MacBook with an amd apu hahahaha

[shell void]

well intel x apple is going to be happening again

but theyre chips designed by apple engineers and produced by intel foundry

[topaz veldt]

I am OK with that

[shell void]

gotta be one of the dumbest decisions ive seen made in recent years

[topaz veldt]

the street is not impressed

[oak vector]

Hmmmmmm
That’s…
I reckon that could turn out well if they do it right

if

[shell void]

im sure theyll be great

[oak vector]

For sure

[brisk jolt]

yes, +beamng AI+VMs

[oak vector]

Apple silicon
Kinda yummy ngl
Intel could do with the help lmaoooooo

/j

[brisk jolt]

this looks so goofy

[shell void]

i would prefer the rad on the other side but that amuses me

[topaz veldt]

I think thats my mobo

[oak vector]

“What case do you have?”
“Oh yeah my GPU”

[topaz veldt]

no its not - but similar

[oak vector]

“I said what case!?”
“Yeah so about that”

[edgy laurel]

that looks like the Toughpower SFX 1000W platinum, right?

[steel stream]

oh dope as fuck

[shell void]

you so totally need to put 52 core nova lake in an ITX board

[oak vector]

Yeah

[brisk jolt]

There might be a risk of it falling if thats the case tbh

[shell void]

i wonder how thatd work out because you could probably overdraw a single EPS connector with two compute tiles

[edgy laurel]

thermaltake can't help themselves sometimes i stg

[pure garnet]

were we really planning on "thermaltake" being a high end psu company

[shell void]

eh similarly crazy shit has been done before

the naughty little EPS connector dares you to put 500W+ through it

[edgy laurel]

they've had some bangers. @topaz veldt has the OG beast still in his basement right?

what a classic

[shell void]

vintage explosive device

[edgy laurel]

best of 2007

that was what you wanted for multi-gpu back in the day

funny from TPU's review in period

The sheer number of connectors is just impressive, you will also get three of the new 8-pin video card power connectors in case you plan on having three highest-end video cards in the future.

[steel stream]

"Cable Management"

[steel stream]

3? Pshhhh

[edgy laurel]

3!?!?

wooow

[steel stream]

hot diggity dawg

[shell void]

what are people doing with 1200W if a flagship gpu only needs one 8 pin? xd

[edgy laurel]

buying 3 GPU's, silly

coincidently exactly what 5nail was doing lol

[shell void]

right so three geforce 8800 ultras would be like 525W

[topaz veldt]

as long as it actually performs

[steel stream]

it probably will

maybe

[edgy laurel]

even the review mentions the future. wasn't long till GTX 590's were a thing

[topaz veldt]

Yessir in fact I might have found a 2nd one down there

[edgy laurel]

that was the unit for SLI builds wasn't it?

[topaz veldt]

Challenege accepted lol

[edgy laurel]

haha

[steel stream]

milk cooled pc nice

[topaz veldt]

[steel stream]

i'll just believe it to be milk

[steel stream]

balling

[edgy laurel]

I was so confused as to where that bottom tube was going

[topaz veldt]

bay res!

[edgy laurel]

but its going to the motherboard

[topaz veldt]

oh, yeah

[steel stream]

what a beast

[edgy laurel]

oh shit, don't remind me. EVERYONE wanted that case. Obsidian 800D?

[desert pumice]

W

[edgy laurel]

or was it the 900D? I can't remember now

[topaz veldt]

I forget but yeah it was the big dog

[low sorrel]

snatches it goop goop goop

[edgy laurel]

I see you had that proper rear mount rad adapter. I made one out of gutted fans and long threaded rods LOL

[steel stream]

think you've posted this before, that was funny as fuck

[edgy laurel]

I have lol

[shell void]

back when HEDT and high end GPUs were affordable and fun 😿

[topaz veldt]

I mean... that was like $3000+ of PC in 2007

[steel stream]

it's ok, we have grok now

[shell void]

i wish it was only $3000 for a HEDT platform and three GPUs today

[topaz veldt]

I think the 580s were like $550 ea

custom loop stuff was about the same price as today

[edgy laurel]

thats $2500 adjusted for 2026 dollars

for the three cards

[steel stream]

woof

[shell void]

that wouldnt even get you a single 5090 master today

[topaz veldt]

but it'd get you 1.25 4090s

so its hard to compare

[edgy laurel]

really does make you wonder what an SLI optimized modern AAA game and GPU's would be like today.

[topaz veldt]

It felt like a fortune back then lol

[steel stream]

or 3.333333333333333 5070 Tis

[topaz veldt]

I can tell you that it played crysis at like 100 fps that felt liek 45

[shell void]

i think part prices are very fair today compared to some of the previous decades, but the cost of housing and essentials leaves most people with little disposable income

[topaz veldt]

Well if you know anything about housing, 2007-2008 was not a time where you felt like income was disposable

[edgy laurel]

See I have a fonder memory of dual Crossfire, at least in Battlefield BC2 and BF3. Though, I also seem to recall DICE's engine at the time was really well setup for SLI/Crossfire

[steel stream]

3 year old me should have bought houses back then, I would have been rich

[shell void]

i shouldve got a mortgage in 2008 instead of battling in the club penguin fire dojo

[edgy laurel]

I distinctly recall being able to achieve nearly full load on both cards in those games at least

[topaz veldt]

Battlfield felt good, but some games hitched hard

[steel stream]

classic blunders man

[topaz veldt]

Also hilarious because I was running triple and quad SLI on 580s yet 60 hz display

[shell void]

smh snail where's your 1920x1440p 85Hz CRT?

[edgy laurel]

2560x1600 @ 60Hz baby

[topaz veldt]

It was behing my 1600x1200 90 hz lol

but yeah we were rockign 30" S-IPS 60 hz panels

[edgy laurel]

i remember S-IPS. couldn't tell you what that signified anymore

[edgy laurel]

if it meant anything at all

[topaz veldt]

$1500ish 30" lol

[shell void]

super special awesomesauce IPS

[steel stream]

gotta be like smart ips or something

[topaz veldt]

Super IPS I think

[steel stream]

ah close

[shell void]

do i spy vista

[topaz veldt]

vista ultimate

[steel stream]

5nail was def compiling his own kernels back then

[shell void]

mfw windows 7 is literally just an update to windows vista but it was more well received because people finally bought new computers

[brisk jolt]

i shouldve bought bitcoin, buy a house, invest in stocks instead of crawling on the bed drinking milk

[topaz veldt]

When did you get yours? I had LG W3000H

[steel stream]

over heard some students the other day talking about making their own cpu kernel from scratch and I wanted to tell them no

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel another thing these lil babies on here never experienced

[edgy laurel]

i'm looking at my paypal invoice. October 2011. I can't remember why it was so discounted but i'm now realizing it came out in 2008, so it was pretty old. I have a memory of it being a floor model or something. It was pristine though

[topaz veldt]

yeah ok got you - I got mine in 2008ish, so brand new price

[oak vector]

It’s beautiful

[edgy laurel]

so beautiful. I never did it but couldn't you DIY that yourself?

[topaz veldt]

I diy'd that yeah

[edgy laurel]

were they like vampire clips where they bite through the insulation?

[topaz veldt]

yep

[edgy laurel]

ok yeah its coming back to me

[topaz veldt]

5 x 1TB WD Blacks in RAID0

it was unheard of at the time lol

[shell void]

i was running three 2TB HGST drives from 2012 in raid 0 last year

just to store movies

[topaz veldt]

this was before SSDs were even a thing

getting like 500 MB/s was insane

[edgy laurel]

@steel stream i found it lmao

[topaz veldt]

that was clever

[edgy laurel]

just snip the insides out of old fans and boom

[topaz veldt]

Mine kinda drooped - i liked it though because it was hinged it could scissor in/out and it had quick release so I could throw the radiator out the window

[shell void]

i wouldve been playing wizard101 and mabinogi on a laptop with a 5400rpm ide hdd and a 2ghz dual core pentium at this time

with an abominable low res tn panel

maximum poverty spec

[topaz veldt]

lol

I used this Monsgeek FUN60 TMR today at work

have to adjust the "not gaming" profile, its a little touchy for typing

[edgy laurel]

yeah I imagine you have to set where you want the activation point

[topaz veldt]

yeah

default is not bad but a little early for ordinary typing

[steel stream]

amazing

[steel stream]

a valuable commodity

[edgy laurel]

what was I doing. and the PSU's around running water.. man

[steel stream]

this is fantastic lol

[topaz veldt]

[edgy laurel]

mom was buying in bulk, don't @ me

[topaz veldt]

ma, wipe me!

[steel stream]

we also buy in bulk it's ok

i still buy in bulk at my apartment

[edgy laurel]

maaam, toilet! (i'm not clicking the gif, its graphic )

[steel stream]

happens to the best of us

[edgy laurel]

i was thinking of the cartman/WoW scene but that one.. that one has lived with me

[steel stream]

at that point you just hop in the shower

[edgy laurel]

HA

[topaz veldt]

i quote it like once a month

[shell void]

thats what i do if i dont have any wet wipes

i cant feel clean just using toilet paper

[steel stream]

just wipe till it's clear, or red. Whichever comes first

[edgy laurel]

agreed. someone once asked if you got shit on your hands would you feel clean with just some dry toilet paper to wipe it off?

[shell void]

if you get shit on your hands then you dont just wipe it with a dry paper towel and call it a day

gotta have some liquid agitation

[steel stream]

great minds think alike

[edgy laurel]

lol did we just say the same thing

was this a line from a comedian or something

[steel stream]

need a bidet for the bathroom but there's no outlet

[shell void]

TP is for the final drying off

[steel stream]

always remember, real men don't wipe

[topaz veldt]

I take my shirt off when shitting

[edgy laurel]

i want one.. badly

[shell void]

we got a serious shitter here

[edgy laurel]

just prepping for the shower in case things get intense

[shell void]

oh new ep of jjk came out today i need to watch that

[edgy laurel]

bro when I've been really sick like that i'm pretty sure i've fallen asleep with my head on the toilet .. not to get too graphic

[steel stream]

yeah that's brutal

[edgy laurel]

what a shitty place to be.. no pun intended

(except it was)

[steel stream]

i haven't fallen asleep on the toilet, but I think i fell asleep slumped over the bath tub once

[edgy laurel]

you don't wanna leave the bathroom

[brisk jolt]

i heard ep3 got the lowest rating because the fans dont even listen to the story

[edgy laurel]

but you're exhausted

[shell void]

brother even the jjk manga readers barely read

the series is too complicated for the general populus

[steel stream]

such a terrible experience

[analog scroll]

Ok so this stupid spicerack likes to fall over when you so much as breathe on it

I found a solution

[steel stream]

KTPC

[edgy laurel]

let me introduce you to 3M VHB

[steel stream]

kitchen tactical personal computer

[steel stream]

yeah that's a bit easier isn't it

[analog scroll]

yesss

[analog scroll]

I have that but I kinda forgot where I put it

also what if I want to use my spicerack as a chopping board

[edgy laurel]

really shouldn't be using a metal chopping board

[analog scroll]

take off side panel, flip around to other side

[analog scroll]

glue a wooden chopping board to the other side

[brisk jolt]

im gonna wait for all episodes to air, only ones Im watching on release are MF ghost and Shiboyuugi

[topaz veldt]

I had one time like ... 2012... I couldn't stay in bed for more than 5 minutes

[edgy laurel]

that is hell

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I still remember it today - just uncontrolled shaking and shitting lol

[edgy laurel]

living in the bathroom

[topaz veldt]

So I had my review today

And as I suspected... it's been proposed that I could change my role

[edgy laurel]

is this a good or bad thing

[topaz veldt]

I mean I think it'd be in the "good" vectror

vector

But it'd mean managing a lot more people which ehhhhh

but it would involve focusing on an area that I worry is too niche

[steel stream]

can you disclose the area or nah

[topaz veldt]

right now I really enjoy designing like ... the whole landscape

it was proposed I lead the AI platform

[steel stream]

oh

[topaz veldt]

from an architecture/solutions perspective

[steel stream]

guess it could be kinda cool, but eh

[topaz veldt]

Like... right now I am doing that but then I hand off the platform to the AI team

so the nerdy coder dorks go back to wherever they live and use the shit

The AI/ML budget is basically a blank check

apparently the dudes they have there are 90% code/devops and like 5-10% network/architecture and they're struggling

So we'll see

[shell void]

i wonder what percent of servers are still running WS2008R2 now that it's actually legitimately EOL as of last week

i saw something that said it was still 40% in 2019

[topaz veldt]

uh

bro 2008 R2 went total EOL in 2023

[steel stream]

interesting

[topaz veldt]

like you could pay extended support but only in Azure (because they wanted to make it easy to migrate there without changing OS), but on prem was like 2022-2023

[shell void]

how many of them paid for support up to 2026 saying that theyre working on upgrading but then didnt

[topaz veldt]

I think I might try something bold... they were open to feedback on the potential. I might try and invent a role that spans my design/architecture role today and includes the AI platform

[topaz veldt]

There wasn't support up to 2026...

[steel stream]

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

best of luck 5nail 🙏

[shell void]

the last security update was january 13 2026 twin

[topaz veldt]

I think @shell void is confusing 2012 R2?

[shell void]

2012 r2 is later this year

[topaz veldt]

not sure what you're on about, but 2008 R2 left the station officially 3 years ago

[shell void]

this is what im talking about

a small number of businesses did get security updates until the last on jan 13

i wonder how many there were

[topaz veldt]

oh - i mean... sure I guess if you had an ELA that included a 6 year support plan in 2018 lol

But who the fuck is buying 6 years of support in 2018 on a 2008 OS

So all 3 customers are upset lol

[shell void]

thats what im curious about

what is the actual use case for this

[topaz veldt]

no idea

The number of times I've heard "The software vendor doesn't support..." and I have to say "Then $Our_Business can't run $Vendors software"

[shell void]

no i will not help you with your obscure software that only works in ws2012

@turbid locust https://videocardz.com/newz/microcenter-and-amd-china-confirm-ryzen-7-9850x3d-launch-date

1/28 now? Frick

[brisk jolt]

Funny thing, yesterday I was discussing some plans for my ITX build and some dude was hella persistent that I go AMD even after I explained

[turbid locust]

I thought that was the review embargo

[topaz veldt]

I am not sure

[brisk jolt]

Im surprised they even set an embargo for it instead of just outright releasing

[turbid locust]

My gene is still in Jersey apparently

[topaz veldt]

9800X3D Nov 7 2024, 9950X3D March 12 2025

Both were thursdays

Whatever, I am off thursday so that's when I'll go

[turbid locust]

We ball

[topaz veldt]

If I can't get the $500 9800X3D with an OC... we're doomed

[turbid locust]

I think 9800X3D to 9850X3D is the optimal route

[brisk jolt]

According to one listing I see on taobao, 9850X3D is like…. $580 USD

[turbid locust]

$499 retail here

[topaz veldt]

official pricing in the US is $499

+$20 over 9800X3D

[brisk jolt]

Tray Im seeing for $520

[shell void]

it's 9am est on jan 29

[pure garnet]

i wouldn’t read into the taobao prices of an unreleased cpu

[shell void]

youll probably see retailers open orders between 9-9:30

[brisk jolt]

Im not gettng a 9850x3d is what im telling myself

[turbid locust]

me personally I’m buying it to pair with my GTX 1080

[shell void]

i will not be buying one

[pure garnet]

i already have a 9850x3d

[turbid locust]

Nuh uh

[pure garnet]

rerolling the tsmc 6nm soc tile lottery is a fools errand

[brisk jolt]

both of them have good 9800x3d samples like gahdamn

[turbid locust]

Both mid

[brisk jolt]

im just gonna chill with my 5.75ghz 9800x3d man

[turbid locust]

6Ghz no worries

[shell void]

mac calling 3200uclk 1.2vsoc samples mediocre even though he's never had one even remotely as good

[turbid locust]

Michael getting offended every time I ragebait his cpu bin

[brisk jolt]

Hey man Im getting the worst bins

[shell void]

it can be yours for $750usd

[brisk jolt]

But what kyoko said

[turbid locust]

u got it what’s ur PayPal

[shell void]

the more interesting part to me is that all of the core vids are within 15mv of eachother, it's very satisfying

[turbid locust]

Mike what board do you even run

[shell void]

all 8 cores are good

[shell void]

x870 tomahawk

[turbid locust]

tf

not even Asus do you even care

[shell void]

i tried the asus thing and it exploded my 4TB 990 Pro

[oak vector]

[turbid locust]

skill issue

[brisk jolt]

I wouldve fallen into the apex trap if there was a white variant ngl

[shell void]

i have no complaints with either my Z690 Taichi or my X870 Tomahawk tbh theyre both exceptionally stable

[turbid locust]

chat what if the 9850X3D does 8400 on the gene but not the mpower

[shell void]

it wouldnt surprise me if the mpower did better than the gene

[brisk jolt]

msi gets labelled as a fraud

[turbid locust]

not for mem

[shell void]

yeah it wouldnt surprise me if the power was better for mem

[turbid locust]

negative

[shell void]

gene is old, aibs have gotten a lot better at memory trace shielding and auto resistances in the last two years

[turbid locust]

Gene is barely worse than the Apex

[topaz veldt]

Micro Center is 1 per household on 9800X3D 😭

[turbid locust]

kek

[shell void]

i mean id rather have a gene because it has far more aura

but it wouldnt surprise me to see the mpower work better with less fafo

[shell void]

whats your plan with this 9800X3DXTSEAIPROMAX anyway

how many do you want to get?

[hoary hatch]

I just spent a disgusting amount on glasses

[turbid locust]

I don’t think so. From what I’ve seen on hwbot people are still putting up higher freq on the gene

[shell void]

unc still got it

[turbid locust]

idk it might do better than mpower

[topaz veldt]

I was going to replace all my 9800X3Ds

[shell void]

are you planning to daily the gene?

[turbid locust]

either way no non-APU chip is maxing either board out

[shell void]

if you do then i hope the intel 2.5gb nic works for you XD

that's the only nic that ive ever had repeatable issues with

[turbid locust]

Daily mpower bench gene is the intent

[shell void]

ah itll be fine then

[turbid locust]

HDV gets banished

[shell void]

HDV gets turned into scrap metal

[shell void]

order one from BHPhoto while youre in line at microcenter lol

[topaz veldt]

True...

[shell void]

i was able to order my 9800X3D on launch day from BHPhoto

[topaz veldt]

Would it be unethical to give a coworker time off to come with me to get one lol

[turbid locust]

no lol

[shell void]

sounds like a fair and ethical use of the resources at your disposal

[turbid locust]

I can’t wait to have another am5 chip that doesn’t do 3200 UCLK lmao

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-bro-hand-on-shoulder-gif-11963500747147243380

[shell void]

come to terms with it now so that you dont smash the gene with a hammer

[turbid locust]

I mean it won’t be the genes fault

as long as it’s not as dogshit as my second 9800X3D I’m good

[shell void]

gear 2 is all the matters anyway bro ur running single rank mem on an oc board

[turbid locust]

Mike my second 9800X3D wouldn’t do 8000

[brisk jolt]

if it doesnt do 3200 uclk we’re gonna call u a fool rerolling

[shell void]

i didnt know that was even possible XD

[turbid locust]

like it would barely boot and hard power cycle on Karhu

[shell void]

oh wow

[turbid locust]

my 9600x boots and benched 8400

[shell void]

i can post 8000 gdm disabled with 0.8vsoc consistently

[brisk jolt]

mine cant even boot 7800 properly

[shell void]

no good boards at my disposal tho

[turbid locust]

not daily stable ofc

Whenever I learn termination tuning I will simply be unstoppable

8400/2200 is the wet dream

[shell void]

i dont have interest in buying a good am5 board because this is gonna be a stock bitch with 4x32GB in a year anyway

once z990 goes in my main rig

[turbid locust]

z990 I sleep

[brisk jolt]

z990i and a u7 will do fine for me

yeah 52c beast or whatever i cant cool that shit down with the case direction im heading

[shell void]

u got a case picked out?

[turbid locust]

A3 or bust

[shell void]

im thinking that something like that will be my next case

[brisk jolt]

the best i can do on it is a 240mm aio

[shell void]

probably not the A3, but a medium form factor case like that

[brisk jolt]

im deadass on mitx

[turbid locust]

A3 is nice asf I’m ngl

[shell void]

it wouldnt surprise me to see a 240mm aio do 400W on novalake tbh but i dont what use you'd have for 52 cores in a tiny pc

other than just doing it because it's amusing which is totally valid

[shell void]

is that still your main atm?

[turbid locust]

I’ve been running the 216X since I’ve been on Z790 cause ATX

but when I go back to AM5 I’m gonna swap back to the A3

I’m gonna try to make a 360 AIO work with the 5090 but I’ll just have to check if it’ll fit with the PSU

[brisk jolt]

im going air cooling bcs i also want to travel with it lol

[shell void]

i think you can do it if you get a SF1000

[turbid locust]

Don’t want to pay for a new psu

[brisk jolt]

yeah could do the same with a AIO but thats riskier and more complicated imho

[shell void]

aios are safer for travel

[turbid locust]

It’s not like a 360mm cools better than a 240

[brisk jolt]

why’s that

[shell void]

less weight hanging off the board in motion

the weight is secured with 8 screws to the case

that's why a lot of shitty prebuilts from SIs have still come with 120-240mm AIOs instead of tower coolers

cpu air coolers, and big air cooled graphics cards are the two most likely things to cause problems

[brisk jolt]

ill see if thats a plausible option for me

[shell void]

well if you were thinking more like a low profile downdraft cooler then that should be totally fine

[brisk jolt]

the meta AIO is a atmos 2 which is highk overpriced

[shell void]

but if you were gonna do a peerless assassin or something then id do a 240mm aio instead

[turbid locust]

I’m considering buying a Silent Loop 3 240

[brisk jolt]

I already got a C5 CU and a incoming 4070 CNC fan

the stock fan is loud asf

[shell void]

brother setsuna do you know of any better SFF PSUs than the Corsair SF1000?

i like that the SF1000 still uses EPS for GPU power

psu side 12v-2x6 is a terrible idea

[brisk jolt]

nah the sf1000 crushes everything else afaik

[shell void]

[brisk jolt]

my 65% HE kb is arriving today

@shell void lowkey I think I get the b860i and 265k till NVL and then sell it to a friend for cheap

He’s on his own for the rest though

[cosmic gazelle]

why do people prefer keyboards with no numpad

no comprendo

[turbid locust]

when I’m gaming 99.99% of the time I couldn’t care less about a numpad

In fact the entire right half of a 60% could disappear for all I care

[brisk jolt]

Smaller form factor so more mousespace

[turbid locust]

I mean I’m not struggling for mouse space but lol

I prefer a 75%

but I have a 60% and have no issues

[shell void]

[brisk jolt]

I get to play with ARL then offer a brother using a laptop a gud deal

Need to get him off that 4050 laptop eventually

[buoyant hedge]

I like how the GPUs and CPUs listed in these requirements are barely even comparable. The RX 570 is about 60-65% stronger than the 1050 Ti (I have personally benchmarked both several times), and the Ryzen 5 1600 is about 60% stronger than the i5-4440. In fact, because of how slow Intel was in the mid-2010s, there wasn't even an i5 that was stronger than the 1600 until 8th gen.

[pallid marsh]

you need to upgrade your pc to play on 2026 LEGO batman recommended settings

[buoyant hedge]

Meanwhile my Xbox 360 can run any of the OG Lego Batman games with no issue.

[pallid marsh]

the last lego game was some starwars one in 2022 and it called for a chad gtx 780

[buoyant hedge]

At least the GPUs and CPUs in those are actually comparable unlike the one I showed.

My 5800 XT + 7600 system could probably run that at 1440P 240 Hz easily

[pallid marsh]

its pretty close imo games care about single not multi core

[buoyant hedge]

At least that's close lol. My 570 usually got like 4000-4500 on 3D Mark Time Spy, and my 1050 Ti got 2500.

[pallid marsh]

i5 4690 is more apples to apples

yeah 570 vs 1050ti isnt even close

There as been confusion as to whether its 1/28 or 1/29 availability. I put in for both 🙂

[slim pebble]

What am I missing here? Can’t you get the same perf disabling the frequency die on the 9950X3D you have now?

[steel stream]

playing it safe

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

9850X3D is +100 MHz over a 9950X3D

I am not replacing my 9950X3D

I am replacing my two 9800X3Ds

[snow holly]

You could not do that

Cause the difference is negligible as fuck

[topaz veldt]

what

[snow holly]

And then buy something really kewl

[topaz veldt]

Here's the amazing part - I can do what I want 🙂

[snow holly]

Free will is a f hell of a drug

[slim pebble]

I hope you get some really good bins. You buying two or an extra one to make sure?

[topaz veldt]

I am buying 2 because I have two 9800X3D systems 🙂

[proven saddle]

Free will is to paint it to linus

[topaz veldt]

The nice part is I don't mind too much about the bin

[proven saddle]

Multitasking

[topaz veldt]

The only requisite is that one of them needs tor un 8000 CL34

But thats on an mITX 1DPC mobo, the same is stable, so the IMC will be gear 2 and should be totally fine

[proven saddle]

Can you buy me some ram?

[topaz veldt]

I can sell you some RAM 🙂

[steel stream]

[proven saddle]

How much?

[snow holly]

You can start by getting me a better second monitor

[turbid locust]

My 2nd 9800X3D didn’t do 8000

[proven saddle]

Ye 32gb or 16 ones wit metal heatsink

[topaz veldt]

If I wasn't so tired and lazy I would swap my other 9800X3D in and see if it runs the same profile that's loaded

[proven saddle]

Lazy or tired sleepy

[turbid locust]
