[fervent chasm]

What about 6 foot 230

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I am 6'1" 225-230 I use 3/4"

sometimes I will go 5/8 but I usually end up back at 3/4

[fervent chasm]

You’re all muscle lol

[topaz veldt]

all beef patty

They started this whole insanity

[fervent chasm]

Have you tried to see your body fat %? I read it’s not accurate though the tests

[topaz veldt]

they actually grind varying radius along the profile so the blade has different contact spots along its length

[steel stream]

damn, ive stayed the same value for about 6 months now

[fervent chasm]

Do you ever use the front and back of the blade

[topaz veldt]

yeah see this

[turbid locust]

That’s how mine usually is but recently it’s been wildin.

[fervent chasm]

That’s sorta like roller blading

[turbid locust]

I got two cards kinda close together

[fervent chasm]

The front you push with your toes to accelerate

[turbid locust]

and then my expenses/spending habits kinda swing month to month

[topaz veldt]

yeah sorta similar

[turbid locust]

some months I’ll be at like 6% util and others I’ll be at like 17%

[topaz veldt]

if you have never ice skated before, people do not realize how "out of control" it feels at first

if I don't skate for like 6 months I am like holy shit wtf

[fervent chasm]

I have once, it’s hard to keep your leg up right at first

[topaz veldt]

like your ankle?

[fervent chasm]

Yah

[topaz veldt]

that's all into skate fitment

If you rented skates it will be ass

[fervent chasm]

Ah well it was rental I don’t think they cared

Yah

[steel stream]

ah got it

[fervent chasm]

No reason for me to purchase them since I don’t do it often

[topaz veldt]

yup - when you get fitted for skates you pick out what feels right, etc., and then they put them in an oven and you wear them until they cool down

[celest wigeon]

i just choke my ankles every time i go skating

I dont own a pair so I always rent and I wrap an extra shoelace through them

[topaz veldt]

they're like thermal-formed

haha yeah

[fervent chasm]

I don’t remember mine being warm

[topaz veldt]

no no - when you buy them

[fervent chasm]

Ohhh

Aha custom fit for your feet

[topaz veldt]

like if you go to a real pro shop and such

[fervent chasm]

You ever break a blade?

[topaz veldt]

well feet but also like your ankle and knob on the side of your ankle

[fervent chasm]

Like chip it

[topaz veldt]

nah they're like tool steel

[fervent chasm]

What about the stick

[topaz veldt]

I have broken sticks when they were wood

[fervent chasm]

I remember floor hockey in middle school, was fun

[topaz veldt]

modern bauers you can swap the blades toollessly

[fervent chasm]

Especially when barely anyone knew how to lift the puck

You ever play basketball?

[topaz veldt]

yes i played into college

[fervent chasm]

Center?

[topaz veldt]

forward

6'1" is only like guard/forward territory as you get older

[fervent chasm]

Yah I forget 6 foot isn’t even that tall for basketball

[topaz veldt]

nope

[fervent chasm]

were you a tech person in school then?

or did you get into computers and stuff after

[topaz veldt]

I had been in IT for my whole life

my mom started a software development company when I was like 4 so I grew up around it

[fervent chasm]

oh dang

did it become a huge company or something?

[topaz veldt]

not like household name but it did pretty well

[fervent chasm]

i was supposed to take over my dads carpentry company but i went into tech

[topaz veldt]

like cabinet making?

[fervent chasm]

no, he does siding

[topaz veldt]

damn

wood siding?

[fervent chasm]

yes, only cedar

[topaz veldt]

ah yeah that is pretty specialized

at least its usually nice builds doing it

[fervent chasm]

oh yah, only multi million dollar homes

[topaz veldt]

yep

[fervent chasm]

it pays really well but i saw what it does to his body

[topaz veldt]

yeah it sucks

[fervent chasm]

its cool though the people you meet

[topaz veldt]

IT wrecks your body also though - you get fat, lazy, and tired

[fervent chasm]

like i got to talk to a guy who was worth almost a billion or something

naperville

[topaz veldt]

nice that's cool

[celest wigeon]

i tried to tell my boss this and he told me to ask claude :(

[fervent chasm]

thats exactly what happened to me because of covid

[topaz veldt]

dude if you had any idea what i have ordered for work lately... its.... i dunno

[fervent chasm]

i used to play sports so even though i was a tech nerd I could maintain my weight and stay fit, but after covid i couldnt play anymore

down hill

[steel stream]

cant you say this about most office jobs?

[fervent chasm]

i went from 180 to 260, im down to 230

[steel stream]

or lower level office jobs

[celest wigeon]

AI is "I dunno" or

[topaz veldt]

I guess - though like "office job" can mean like 9-5... IT we all know that it becaomes 9-6....9-8..... 9-midnight

[fervent chasm]

I have a chance to work for Encore Global, but the person I know who works there says some days can become 16 hours

[turbid locust]

or the mythical 1-9p in healthcare

[topaz veldt]

AI, fast storage, crazy network

[celest wigeon]

ah

yea

[fervent chasm]

these guys https://encoreglobal.com

[topaz veldt]

When I was like 21-29 or so I was highly paid AND got overtime

but I wanted to like... have a family

So I had to just be highly paid and get rid of the OT part lolol

[fervent chasm]

Id be a network engineer with them, theres so much shit to learn

[celest wigeon]

I force my days into a 9-5 bracket because I have other things I like to do with my damn time
luckily Ive moved largely out of IT

[fervent chasm]

how much more was OT pay

[topaz veldt]

1.5 on the daily, 2.0 weekends or holidays

[celest wigeon]

For half the infrastructure I built here I still get called to help the IT guys now but, theyre slowly building out their own stuff and soon it wont be anything from me

[fervent chasm]

so youd just take every chance you could to do OT? lol

[topaz veldt]

I basically had to - so I was like, say $100k on salary, $175-180k take home

[fervent chasm]

jesus

[steel stream]

ill be out of IT this summer, so looking forward to that

[fervent chasm]

i dont wanna assume your age, how long ago was this

[topaz veldt]

I will be 40

[fervent chasm]

oh ur younger than my parents

[topaz veldt]

well that's nice lol

[celest wigeon]

rn Im technically a Platform Dev (Hardware & Software side dev) but it's becoming...less enjoyable due to a stupidly massive push to have LLM's do literally everything.

[fervent chasm]

yah ur still young lol

[celest wigeon]

5nail?

[fervent chasm]

yah

[steel stream]

ill be in a hardware role this summer so thank god

[celest wigeon]

hes a corpse whatchu on abt

[topaz veldt]

I am old af and used up

look at this

[celest wigeon]

lmfao

[fervent chasm]

reminds me when my sister saw my balance was like 73 cents and she started telling everyone

[celest wigeon]

HW side is still super great but...Software side has become "Have you talked to claude yet"

[topaz veldt]

But then look at this

[steel stream]

i need to get out of software and IT it's miserable

[topaz veldt]

software is rough

[fervent chasm]

i want to do hardware stuff, like a network engineer

but i like software dev on my own time

[celest wigeon]

idk I enjoyed it awhile ago but now with the move & where AI is heading, I'm just tryna figure out new skills I can learn to get jobs in other fields when I need to

[fervent chasm]

You gotta get to know people

I met this jew in nyc and hes helped me a ton

[topaz veldt]

lol whoa

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/luke-lafr-wan-show-linus-tech-tips-ltt-wtf-gif-gif-27693908

[celest wigeon]

interesting phrasing

[topaz veldt]

I wish RTX 6000 Pro were $8999 still

[low sorrel]

hmmm akn controls wan show confirmed

[fervent chasm]

I say it like that because the stereotypes fit him well, but we're good friends

[low sorrel]

wanshow just went live

[fervent chasm]

Hes a brain dude i forgot the name

[celest wigeon]

anyways

[steel stream]

what

[low sorrel]

as soon as you sent that i got a notification on wan show going live

[shell void]

from what i see they’re $8700 on public sites, and less if you make some phone calls

[steel stream]

oh i've never watched wan show

[topaz veldt]

Naw

[fervent chasm]

Why, you want one?

[topaz veldt]

Possibly

[celest wigeon]

akn this is crazy of you to say

[fervent chasm]

didnt your savings account show less than that

how are you gonna afford this snail

[topaz veldt]

my paypal account is just fun money but yeah

[celest wigeon]

selling ram

[fervent chasm]

would this be a fun purchase?

gotta start depositing

[steel stream]

ive seen clips but never actually clicked into the live stream

[topaz veldt]

I have another like $50k of RAM behind me

[fervent chasm]

idk how people do it

[topaz veldt]

I am hedging that the price goes up

[fervent chasm]

i cant watch livestreams

[celest wigeon]

i put it on the tv & I clean the house

[fervent chasm]

alright so whos doing worse for the ram economy, me (buying to resell) or snails whos got $50k worth holding up the supply

[steel stream]

i watched livestreams during covid but its not really interesting anymore

[shell void]

i think they can be like $7500 if you get the startup or edu discount

[pure garnet]

you know snail has like rdimm ecc right

[topaz veldt]

I should call my guy

[fervent chasm]

Yes it was a joke

[topaz veldt]

I wonder if there are decent waterblocks for them

[celest wigeon]

I dont watch a LOT of livestreams
But WAN is helpful because its a few hours of dedicated time to clean & sort & tidy

[pure garnet]

where’s kvetinky we need another 40 minute rant on how scalpers are good for the market

[shell void]

watercooled rtx pro 6000 blackwell for the plex pc

[pure garnet]

the oxford dictionary

[fervent chasm]

@south shuttle

[topaz veldt]

ha - that puppy is all air

[frank zealot]

ngl.... that might be entertaining if it's done well

[topaz veldt]

5090 does plex nicely

[celest wigeon]

more fun irl

[fervent chasm]

what about 4090?

[topaz veldt]

I wish I had more DDR5 on hand

a 9995WX build would be cool

[frank zealot]

not good enough for plex, you def need a 5090

[steel stream]

you only have a 5090 for your plex? psh

[fervent chasm]

is that what the RTX 6000 pro is for that you want? Plex?

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/shy-dog-dog-shy-dog-shoes-martian-shy-gif-1847379792495616229

[pure garnet]

akn needs a 5090 pc to use on his g5

[fervent chasm]

why it got shoes on

[shell void]

U5 250K+ and U7 270K+ go up for sale in a few days, i wonder what they’ll cost

[frank zealot]

you see this thig?
https://www.rezvanimotors.com/rezvani-vengeance

[topaz veldt]

should I get one?

[topaz veldt]

dafuq

[fervent chasm]

only $300k?

[frank zealot]

starting

[shell void]

probs won’t be better than your 285K

[fervent chasm]

hold on lemem do what id want on it

[celest wigeon]

this is what we NEED in our school zones

[frank zealot]

has a weight of nearly 9000lbs if you get the armor package on it

[shell void]

i think it’s a 10850K situation where they’re loosening clock targets to improve parametric yields and be more aggressive with pricing

(the 270K)

Ultra 5 250K+ is 6p12e instead of 6p8e though which could be interesting if it’s cheap

[fervent chasm]

not bad

[frank zealot]

Also it entirely looks like it comes straight outta cyberpunk

[fervent chasm]

only $800k

[steel stream]

i wonder how much energy this thing has going 30mph

[fervent chasm]

5mph would kill someone

[pure garnet]

what happened to trying to make evs look normal

[frank zealot]

@civic reef

[pure garnet]

now they’re just ugly bubbles with no aero

[frank zealot]

EV? That's a 9000lb tank.
That ain't no ev.

[fervent chasm]

wait is that a hybrid?

[pure garnet]

oh i thought that goofy name said rivian

[frank zealot]

35" Tires on 22" Rims

Bro's gonna run over a moose and not notice

[steel stream]

the hummers about the same weight i think

[fervent chasm]

why doesnt it come with the winch by default

no one is buying the base version of this

[frank zealot]

the EV Hummer is. But those are extra heavy due to a (literal) ton of batteries

[civic reef]

Might need this

Seeing as I was living in a car for 3 days after the march 1st airstrike lol

[frank zealot]

only 800k tricked out, sounds like a bargain

[civic reef]

We may continue discussion for your 23mm RCWS package after I get a somewhat stable roof over my head

[frank zealot]

not allowed in my state, remember?

[civic reef]

Oh </3

I'll bribe your local Congressman

Need a minute though, need to make sure I don't get bombed

[steel stream]

a hummer EV going 70mph, has the same energy as a honda civic going 130mph

[frank zealot]

I'd have expected the civic to need to go faster

[steel stream]

same tbh i am dissapointed

i assumed the civic was 3k lbs

[teal orbit]

(1/2)mv^2

[frank zealot]

70 vs 122... i'm honestly surprised

[teal orbit]

Not bad

[gentle urchin]

is the name Karin common in America?

[steel stream]

hummer needs to gain some weight smh

[frank zealot]

Karen? absolutely common

[steel stream]

it should have the same energy of a civic going like 300

[edgy laurel]

[gentle urchin]

Karin

[green marsh]

@shell void

[gentle urchin]

Hmm, seems Karin is a Swedish version of Katarina, not Karen, nvm

[frank zealot]

https://www.behindthename.com/name/karin/top

seems like "not really"

[green marsh]

also typical Biostar product launch 😄

a newly launched H810 board 😄

[frank zealot]

looks boring enough, other than the sus wifi card slot lol

[green marsh]

point being Biostar likes to launch lowend boards few years to a decade late 😄

[frank zealot]

H810 is "technically" still current

[green marsh]

i remember them launching H61 board in 2021 😄 https://www.techpowerup.com/282411/biostar-announces-the-h61mhv3-motherboard

[whole coral]

https://youtu.be/nfHRMqqO578?si=vuwTVORo_8WZ1Ghv

[green marsh]

(yes, that is a Sandy Bridge chipset)

[whole coral]

Definitely a pricey phone. Starts at $1,300 USD

[gentle urchin]

inside of the S26 Ultra?!?

[whole coral]

I wish Samsung went above and beyond with the phone tbh

[green marsh]

no, in the board i linked right above LOL

[whole coral]

Yes the privacy display feature is sick but that’s it

[frank zealot]

1851's still current.
Althiough I wouldn't put an Ultra 7 or 9 on those shit-tastic VRMs

[whole coral]

No silicon carbide battery or magnets or super fast charging

[green marsh]

Samsung first of all needs to stop trying to shoehorn Exynos in highend products

[whole coral]

Yeah that needs to stop

Snapdragon only

[green marsh]

i mean i am not against Exynos, but they need to be real and sell both versions outside US, or keep US version Exynos too

[pure garnet]

it’s a rectangle you text people on

how much above and beyond can you really get

[green marsh]

but it is an evil move to give all reviewers Snapdragon versions and then sell the inferior Exynos version in most of world

[pure garnet]

deserved

[green marsh]

(tho it seems Ultra is Snapdragon everywhere, only 'lower' versions of S26 are split)

[frank zealot]

in other (utterly unsurprising) news, Nintendo is getting litigious again, but this time at the US Gov't

I hope Nintendo wins this suit, cuz it'll be hilarious

[pure garnet]

the only time the us got the exynos was s6/note 5 because the 810 was trash

[green marsh]

literally everyone is suing CPB/US govt because of the tarrif refunds, they try to delay it for another month

[frank zealot]

mostly only big companies who have lawyers are. most SMB folx can't afford it

[green marsh]

they need to refund everyone, but they say "their system can't handle the refund amount and they need to overhaul it". Aparently it is like 40 milion refunds they need to give out (including interest)

[frank zealot]

they should refund everyone.

However, what will happen has not been decided by courts yet.

how it's going to be handled was very specifically not touched by the supreme court, so it's going to be months and months before that info gets decided on

[green marsh]

a judge on Wednesday ordered the government to start paying back all importers the illegal tariffs they paid — with interest. Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade wrote that “all importers of record’’ were “entitled to benefit’’ from the Supreme Court ruling

[frank zealot]

oh, interesting... that was fast

[shell void]

there’s potential for sure but it has to be cheap

[green marsh]

yeah, but as said, they asking a delay till end of April to revamp the refund system to be automated (i suspect)

[frank zealot]

18 threads?

Does it have more e-cores than a 245K?

[green marsh]

so yes, more e-cores

[frank zealot]

interesting, I wonder why they bumped that number

it's now a 265K minus 2x P-Cores

[steel stream]

just bined parts that cant meet certain freq or core counts i would assume

[arctic bronze]

whats the basis for it?

[frank zealot]

the 270k is a binned 285k

But the 250k doesn't have a counterpart in the original line

[frank zealot]

the supreme court ruled that a whole swath of trump's tarriffs were illegal.
And they have to pay it back to the companies.

[green marsh]

US govt collected tarrifs and supreme court ruled that they had no right for that, thus they have to refund money

[frank zealot]

and since the switch 2 launched during that window? I imagine that Nintendo paid a BOATLOAD of money

[arctic bronze]

i see

[frank zealot]

I'm trying to remember:

Did nintendo change the MSRP of the Switch 2?

[green marsh]

NVIDIA Reportedly Preparing 9 GB GeForce RTX 5050 Variant with GDDR7

WAT ?

Unlike the existing RTX 5050, which uses 8 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus for 320 GB/s of bandwidth, the new model is said to adopt 3 GB GDDR7 modules. The updated configuration would total 9 GB across a 96-bit memory bus. While the narrower bus reduces interface width, the move to 28 Gbps GDDR7 would raise total memory bandwidth to 336 GB/s, a roughly 5% increase, alongside a 12.5% boost in VRAM capacity.

[frank zealot]

yup.
3x 3GB DDR7 chips on a 96 bit bus
vs
4x 2GB DDR6 chips on a 128 bit bus

In theory: the DDR7 chips are slightly faster

[manic sigil]

Cafe exclusive again?

[frank zealot]

who knows

[green marsh]

these would be nice for $150 cards, but that ship has sailed and i bet they will ask at least $300 for them /s

[frank zealot]

Ahhha, Nintendo seems to have eaten most/all of the tarriff price increase for months after launch on the switch 2.

Yeah, they're going to be wanting that money back.

that's gonna be a loooooot of money

[spiral quarry]

Lol that was a fast diagnostic. Heard a squeaking sound coming from my pc so I stopped all the fans and inspected them, turns out one of my gpus fans is doing it.

Fun

[frank zealot]

GPU fans are frequently easy to change

or if it's under warranty they might just send you a set

[spiral quarry]

yea gonna go through microcenter for that lol.

I could find the same set for cheaper and do it myself without going through them since this card has been modded already by me.

[pure garnet]

no they raised the accessories to avoid raising the console

[shell void]

it’s probably just a waste of silicon to be disabling two Ecore clusters to make a 245K

actually i don’t remember if there was a separate 6p8e tile

but if there was then now there doesn’t need to be

[pure garnet]

if core ultra refresh runs at 32 ngu 32 d2d stock i think it’ll be a decent value gaming cpu

[shell void]

can’t wait for 28 core ultra 5s next year

Ecore haters can have their $300+ 8 core ryzen 5s if they still hate Ecores even though literally everyone except for AMD uses them

[frank zealot]

AMD Even uses them, except on mainstream ryzen

[cosmic gazelle]

normal people dont gaf about ecores they just care about fps per dolla

[cosmic gazelle]

where?

[pure garnet]

core ultra would’ve sold more then

[frank zealot]

AMDs Zen C cores are pretty damned close to E-Cores. smaller, less power, etc.

[pure garnet]

my 265k + z890 master (which i paid extra for) was $550

if i got a z890 elite or whatever it would’ve been like 450-500

[cosmic gazelle]

dawg microcenter was sellin 9800x3d combos for $589

[pure garnet]

that was post tax

[shell void]

don't worry king youll get both Ecores and extra L3 cache so it's a double whammy

[frank zealot]

now.
265K Combo's have been a bargain at MC for ages

[cosmic gazelle]

the combo was like $689 with 32gb of ram before lol

[pure garnet]

yeah the retail store 3% of the market has access to vs a newegg combo isn’t really a comparison point

but you’ve also gotten core ultra at microcenter considerably cheaper anyway

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m just sayin 265k is probably not a value king for gaming specifically and is probably still better if you game and do other things on the same pc

[frank zealot]

only when RAM was utterly stupid.

I bought a combo last year (pre- bullshit) and it was a little over 400 or something?

[hexed karma]

Not to mention taxes

[cosmic gazelle]

i have been quite underwhelmed by the production power of my 9800 so i’m not arguing that amd has that crown at all

[pure garnet]

okay yeah it was 509 pre tax, checked my invoice

and that was with me paying extra for the master

[cosmic gazelle]

what’s the most powerful, like, points in handbrake per dollar msrp cpu rn

i wonder

[shell void]

it was probably the Ultra 7 265K when it was available for $235 for almost a year

[cosmic gazelle]

225f not better for $120 or whatever?

in terms of just points per dollar

[frank zealot]

per dollar? probably in some tests.
But multi core will slaughter the 225

[shell void]

i dont remember what the lowest price i saw on the 225f was

but yeah maybe if youre only using cpu price instead of platform price

[cosmic gazelle]

yes i’m just saying per dollar

[shell void]

i dont think i saw it below $160 which isnt compelling next to a $235 265KF

[frank zealot]

like michael said: If you only count the CPU price.

But payign the extra 150$ for double the cores? not a bad deal

[edgy laurel]

quickly looking at this chart then prices on pcpp, gotta be 265k at $282

[frank zealot]

when you take a 300$ platform and tack on the CPU:

420 vs 550 isn't nearly as big a jump

[edgy laurel]

what I mean to say is, even at $282

[pure garnet]

that’s why the newegg 265k bundles were so appealing

you could get the motherboard for basically free at times

[frank zealot]

Especially when Intel was throwing in a bonus game with the chip

[edgy laurel]

the reality was, no one was buying that chip for dedicated software encoding

[pure garnet]

i got a bunch of games with my 265k and because of a listing error i got the premium versions of them too

[edgy laurel]

so interesting stat, but kinda pointless

[pure garnet]

ac shadows, bf6, and star wars outlaws

[jaunty horizon]

Should i upgrade my r5 7600?

[pure garnet]

all the top editions for them

[edgy laurel]

if you want to

[steel stream]

i dunno maybe

[frank zealot]

is it holding you back in any meaningful way?

[steel stream]

mid, ok, garbage

[pure garnet]

$0,$0,$0

[jaunty horizon]

I don’t think so? I have an RX7900 GRE

[frank zealot]

then no, don't upgrade

[pure garnet]

unless you have a 5070ti or faster i wouldn’t bother with an x3d

as general thing

[steel stream]

my roommate has been playing SW outlaws and it seems very unappealing

[frank zealot]

wait for Ryzen 11000 to upgrade

[pure garnet]

more money at gpu makes you happy faster

[jaunty horizon]

👍

I absolutely love my GRE

[shell void]

Intel: "Ecores are good"
Apple: "Ecores are good"
Qualcomm: "Ecores are good"
Nvidia: "Ecores are good"
Samsung: "Ecores are good"

AMD: "hehe economy cores" (they literally package their CPUs in the cheapest way possible)

[frank zealot]

Golden Rabbit Edition is a weird name

[jaunty horizon]

China thing

Yeah it’s the year of the horse

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horse-running-gif-7569345600600323523

2023 was the rabbit iirc

[shell void]

this was a banger

[hexed karma]

Ik im being obtuse

[steel stream]

yeah thats crazy

[jaunty horizon]

Why does my pc have an uptime of 14 days???

I turn it off every night

[pure garnet]

fast boot

[jaunty horizon]

Oh ffs

[frank zealot]

disabling fast startup in windows is required

[edgy laurel]

really? Never bothered

[jaunty horizon]

Im on w10 IoT

I can’t find it

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet beat this price to performance

[edgy laurel]

all of google searched that fast?

[frank zealot]

if you ever run into issues, it's bullshit, because a shutdown doesn't clear your memory, so problems can legitimately persist through turning off your pc

[topaz veldt]

So funny a local dude bought a 5090 matrix

[edgy laurel]

Yeah I mean if you understand that "Shut Down" is basically hibernate, its never a problem

[hexed karma]

This probably explains why most issues I face can be solved with a restart

[topaz veldt]

Talked the matrix up hardcore

[jaunty horizon]

Id rather bother you than use google

[frank zealot]

I don't want hibernate. I want off to be off.

[edgy laurel]

How unfortunate

[frank zealot]

Yup. Turn off windows Fast Startup.

[edgy laurel]

Fair enough. Things are slow enough to boot, i'll take all the help I can get

[hexed karma]

Would it even make too much of a difference for boot time with a m.2?

I figure not

[frank zealot]

I remember taking 2.5 minutes+ to get to a usable desktop.

I don't mind current boot times.

[frank zealot]

if you stopwatch it, you can absolutely tell.

but if you only shutdown occasionally? meh, whatever.

[jaunty horizon]

2.5 minutes? Thats quick

I used a laptop with a 1.8in hdd

[hexed karma]

Just like I can tell the difference between 600fps and 400fps as long as I have a counter on screen

[jaunty horizon]

Same hdd as in an ipod

[cosmic gazelle]

ah ah ah WITH 10 years of 100% cpu usage at a power price of 18 cents per kwh

just kidding lmao

[pure garnet]

the fact that mine turns on means that it’s infinitely more price/performance

[hexed karma]

My first desktop took upwards of 10 minutes to get to the windows log in screen towards the end of its life

[fervent chasm]

guys its happening

1440p@144fps in browser

this is a localhost test so latency is really low, 1-2 frames

[hexed karma]

Beamng in browser

[fervent chasm]

yah, I have made a remote desktop app that is entirely in the browser for the client

[cosmic gazelle]

what am i looking at

oh

is this better than just a normal remote desktop

[fervent chasm]

Its different from Chrome Remote Desktop and the like because its built for gaming, low latency, high resolution, high fps like Sunshine + Moonlight

[jaunty horizon]

Yeah thats how i remember my first laptop

Well, netbook

[fervent chasm]

Way better than what is offered for browser based clients and gaming

[jaunty horizon]

Im glad netbooks are gone

[fervent chasm]

think of GeForce Now (browser one) but wayyy better

And self hosted

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a core 2 duo t8300 laptop running ubuntu 24.04 that takes around 3 minutes to get to the login screen because of the drive

i love the thing it’s in practically perfect condition

[shell void]

[frank zealot]

I had a netbook with a 32GB SATA SSD

[jaunty horizon]

At least its an SSD

[shell void]

i would rather have a lightning if im gonna buy a stupid 5090

[jaunty horizon]

Mine had an 80gb ipod drive

[shell void]

but ideally just get the cheapest gigabyte card and put the matrix vbios on it

[fervent chasm]

are there bios mods for the 5090 already?

[jaunty horizon]

I still have the drive

[frank zealot]

I heard rumors that some of the driver issues were related to nvidia trying to stop vbios fuckery

[shell void]

yeh it's not locked down so they happen immediately

you can just extract your vbios with a single click in gpu-z and then post it online

[cosmic gazelle]

is there a SAS to SATA adapter for laptops

[cosmic gazelle]

wonder if i could get a cheap sas ssd for this thing

[frank zealot]

no, they're VERY VERY different formats

SAS is NVME, SATA is very much not

[shell void]

i heard hardwareunboxed say that in this podcast uploaded today but i doubt it

[jaunty horizon]

SAS can use SATA but not vice versa

[cosmic gazelle]

hmm

wait

so sas could be wired to a sata port and just run slower?

[frank zealot]

you can plug a SATA drive into a SAS Controller with proper cabling.

You cannot plug a SAS Drive into a SATA port no matter what

[cosmic gazelle]

oh

[shell void]

im staying on driver 591.74 which is four versions behind until the big spring update with the new framegen is released

[jaunty horizon]

A SAS port can accept a SATA drive

[cosmic gazelle]

bummer

[jaunty horizon]

Not the other way around

[shell void]

i wonder if 40 series will be able to use the second generation framegen model

it's kind of a big deal for the second model to allow UI overlay after frame generation to avoid UI garbling

that's the most obvious artifact in games to me

[pure garnet]

fellow studio enjoyer

[turbid locust]

I’m ready

Borderlands 4 might become playable

[edgy laurel]

581.57 4lyfe

[turbid locust]

I have no idea what driver I’m on

[pure garnet]

i have no reason to update my driver

[turbid locust]

I haven’t updated in awhile tho

[pure garnet]

happily enjoying my outdated driver on my 24h2 windows install

[edgy laurel]

so I found the baggy of like 10 leftover switches

[turbid locust]

swag

[edgy laurel]

so I finally replaced my spacebar and L key which were intermittently not registering

[pure garnet]

mac do you wanna val later tonight

i already uninstalled faceit valve pmo

[turbid locust]

I am banished to the place of my employment until 10:30p tonight

[pure garnet]

damn

[pure garnet]

more surprised you had 10 leftover switches

i have 3

[edgy laurel]

huh, i guess but yeah it was exactly 10

for a 75%

[pure garnet]

the most annoying shit with the keyboard switches is people sell like packs of 18

instead of 10

[frank zealot]

Lol

[edgy laurel]

yeah i'll never get the counts

[fervent chasm]

oh @edgy laurel look I was gonna ping you but i forgot

[turbid locust]

I wanna mod my wooting

[fervent chasm]

remember when I started it like 3 months ago

[turbid locust]

but like… I also want an 80HE

[edgy laurel]

yeah dude, thats pretty sick. now, what do you do next?

[low sorrel]

i've seen packs of 35

which is fine for a 104key full size

[fervent chasm]

some tiny QoL stuff, for example I'd like to add a switch in the client popout to allow you to switch to software encoding so stuff like Netflix isnt black screen

[low sorrel]

but if you want to build anything else

[pure garnet]

i only build tkls

[fervent chasm]

Honestly, im not sure where to go from here

Its ready for v1 release I think

[fierce stream]

is this a good price?

[low sorrel]

what about 75%

[low sorrel]

seems normal

[edgy laurel]

isn't that a TKL?

[low sorrel]

thats 80%

[pure garnet]

i’d rather have the full array of side buttons

[jaunty horizon]

Get a macbook

[pure garnet]

i toggle my overlays with those keys

[fervent chasm]

For basically 2 weeks I ran into an issue where because I was using WebRTC Data Channels (made for smaller data, but way more control) instead of the Media Track, I was hitting a limit because of it that stopped me from being able to do over 90fps at 1440p. But with the release of GPT 5.4, it found the issue in half an hour of debugging

[pure garnet]

i also haven’t bought a new actual keyboard in like 3 years

[edgy laurel]

the only thing I need is a Home key for ReShade

[low sorrel]

this is why i want a numpad ngl

[pure garnet]

i’m like $500 into this thing i’ll keep it awhile

[fierce stream]

on lenvo US website, its about 150 pounds more for same laptop with 16gb and 1 tb but utlra 9

[edgy laurel]

BATTLESTAR GALACTIA

[cosmic gazelle]

if a c14 power cable is rated for 2500w how do xoc people get power from the wall to their lightning 5090s under ln2

because don’t you also need power for cpu and stuff

[topaz veldt]

they're using C19

real PSUs have C19 cables

[edgy laurel]

see this is easy, i just have to spend more money to fix it. right @pure garnet? thats how it works

[low sorrel]

the colt canada c19 bolt action rifle?

[topaz veldt]

you lost me at canada

[cosmic gazelle]

truly i have never seen that connector in my life

[pure garnet]

sounds right to me

[cosmic gazelle]

@topaz veldt you’re tellin me there’s psus that take this?

[topaz veldt]

Yes, I am using one

[low sorrel]

yes

[cosmic gazelle]

well i learned something new today

[topaz veldt]

Then you put that cable on 240v and its rated for 4800W

[low sorrel]

but what if i need more

[topaz veldt]

Then you level up

[cosmic gazelle]

why do YOU need one tho 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

that consumes over 2500w?

[topaz veldt]

It could

1500W+ 120vac PSUs will have C19

[cosmic gazelle]

oh wait doesn’t the states have 120v

[topaz veldt]

correct

[cosmic gazelle]

so c14 only does 1250?

[topaz veldt]

you can do 15A on C14

[fervent chasm]

my psu has the C20 inlet, so I think its C19 connector

[topaz veldt]

so its rated 1800W

[cosmic gazelle]

oh internet told me 10A

[topaz veldt]

North america only has 15 and 20A breakers

[cosmic gazelle]

the most powerful PSU i own is a 750w so i have no knowledge of this lol

[fervent chasm]

or am I misunderstanding, what does my PSU have? be quiet! BN518 Straight Power 12 1500W

[cosmic gazelle]

from grainy images it looks like you have the one we’re referring to

[topaz veldt]

I want this https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-platinum-sf-2800f14hp-2800-w-80-platinum/

[edgy laurel]

link broke

[topaz veldt]

its 240v only - I just need to change the connector on my wall

[fervent chasm]

thats what it has

[topaz veldt]

https://www.newegg.com/super-flower-leadex-platinum-sf-2800f14hp-2800-w-80-platinum/p/1HU-024C-00090

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s crazy how the 2nd most powerful PSU is capable of 600 less watts

[edgy laurel]

seeing 4x 12vhpwr is funny

[topaz veldt]

but the fun of it is doing wacky parkour without mods

[fervent chasm]

does having every cores temps and frequency not get in the way

[shell void]

i forgot it was there until i took the screenshot

[fervent chasm]

its cool, you can tell which ones are P cores

well, im assuming the ones pulling more are P cores and this isnt AMD or something

[shell void]

this is muh 9800x3d

[fervent chasm]

why is it like that

wait theyre the same frequency

why are some pulling more than others

[shell void]

i have found a way to go higher >:3

[edgy laurel]

what are the legs again? been a while

mantis legs? no, those are mantis arms

the jumpy legs

[shell void]

double jump thingamabobbers

[pure garnet]

because the frequency displayed is basically meaningless

effective clock matters

it’s not effectively clocking to you that i’m standing on business

boy how high is your shadowplay bitrate that shit looks natively rendered on my phone

[shell void]

that's only 25Mbps AV1 it's relatively low bitrate

[steel stream]

cant park there bud

[shell void]

45Mbps is more standard for 4K60

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t av1 a lot more efficient with bitrate tho

[shell void]

evidently so

[steel stream]

yeah but not that efficient

[low sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGZ_KOoqBD0

huh

ngl i was not expecting neodymium magnets to be that expensive

[edgy laurel]

comes out like mine. "effective" bitrate is lower than you set, which makes sense given its not CBR

AV1 is just good like that

[cosmic gazelle]

newgen linuxcels claiming they get “2x the fps” on linux because they kept copilot and onedrive as startup programs pisses me off

I... think we have had this in the aquarium hobby for a while

lol

[low sorrel]

out of the things i could see something like this being in

the aquarium hobby was not in my top 10

[keen wigeon]

a lot of folks use these types of things because we can't really cable manage under water with sticky things so... magnets

[merry stirrup]

[topaz veldt]

[steel stream]

[low sorrel]

[merry stirrup]

[topaz veldt]

[low sorrel]

[merry stirrup]

hidden drunken driving racing division??? where do i sign up

[zenith fog]

I picked up a thermaltake test bench today with a 9900k and 360mm aio just missing ram and gpu for only $100. With swapping over my 7900xtx and selling my 5700x3d?

[merry stirrup]

no

[steel stream]

@low sorrel you should get risk of rain 2

[merry stirrup]

30-40% gaming performance loss in some instances for like 300$ that is realistically going to last you a month or two

[topaz veldt]

thats the weather forecast at my fl house

[zenith fog]

I only play Minecraft

[topaz veldt]

every day

[pure garnet]

i'd rather the 5700x3d even though its a dinsoaur

[merry stirrup]

then why are you asking us

[steel stream]

we just had hail, pretty cool

[zenith fog]

With shaders

[pure garnet]

why do you own an xtx for minecraft

[zenith fog]

Because I’ve never had Intel cpus

[low sorrel]

never

[topaz veldt]

ugh

[steel stream]

rat bastard

[zenith fog]

Traded it from having a 5070

[merry stirrup]

if you believe that its a good choice then do it, but 3 people in chat are telling you not so much

[pure garnet]

why did you buy a 5070 for minecraft

[merry stirrup]

just resell the 9900k or learn to oc on it or something

or keep it cause 9900K's are pretty neat and famous

[pure garnet]

blow it up

[merry stirrup]

14nm+ does not blow up

you put volts into it and it generally goes ok

[pure garnet]

with enough voltage anything blows up

[merry stirrup]

this is true

[topaz veldt]

not true

[merry stirrup]

idk my 11700k makes me rethink that

[topaz veldt]

i am running a 9v battery on my dimms

[merry stirrup]

i typed quite stupid numbers into that voltage box

[steel stream]

you need to put two of them in series for ram nowadays

[low sorrel]

how stupid

[merry stirrup]

aabove 1.5

[pure garnet]

2.0

[zenith fog]

Shaders

[merry stirrup]

theres probably hwbot screenshots of the 11700k at like 1.6v

[zenith fog]

I have a 165hz 1440 display. Wanted to play high frame rates with shaders

[topaz veldt]

this is jorj as a racecar

[merry stirrup]

besides that i would just keep your 5700x3d as the daily theres no reason to downgrade

[fervent chasm]

the rear spoiler has to be the opposite way of the front one

[merry stirrup]

you are hurting your future self's gaming peformance because you wanna make soem change

9900K's are still worth a pretty penny, so id just resell that and be done

[zenith fog]

No need for 2 pc’s

[merry stirrup]

i am agreeing with you

[low sorrel]

why are you watching f3?

[merry stirrup]

but im saying not to sell your faster chip for no reason

[topaz veldt]

wtf is this

[merry stirrup]

and to sell the slow one that is already considerably overvalued for what it is

[topaz veldt]

formula motocross

[merry stirrup]

lookin at 200$ minimum for these on ebay pricing
