[devout ridge]

so you’re giving advice on a non-existent gpu’s performance characteristics?

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/clown-gif-25799821

there we go, suits perfectly on you

[devout ridge]

nah that stuff costs too much, cause then you have to buy powder to go with it

[south shuttle]

it was initially a warning yes

[devout ridge]

we have exactly zero idea on the performance of any of the 60 series cards, so any attempt to make insights into their performance is just straight up misinformation

[south shuttle]

again i feel like the only ones that can’t read are y’all i said if

read the IF

[devout ridge]

where lol

[south shuttle]

i didn’t say “it will” i said if it will use the same connector type and amount + more wattage it will burn more as that’s the general sense

[south shuttle]

scroll at the beginning of the argument

[devout ridge]

they’re not gonna push more than the rated power through the connector lol

[south shuttle]

that is a fallacy here

[devout ridge]

if it consumes more than 600w, it’s gonna have two connectors

[south shuttle]

you might not’ve even noticed

you should’ve said probably not

[devout ridge]

my brother in christ, what are you waffling about

[south shuttle]

why do you think or believe the same company that pushed 12v-6x2 without load balancing won’t overspec the cable in the future

[devout ridge]

Why do you think they will actively ignore power ratings when they have exactly zero history of doing so

your gross mistrust in the company is leading you to believe they’re actively malicious

[south shuttle]

they had a history of having load balancing, not anymore
remember rhymes not repeat

[devout ridge]

this is what fear mongering does to a man

[south shuttle]

appealing to the history only without considering that may change is concerning

[devout ridge]

in the end, what you or i believe doesn’t matter, because it’s gonna have however many connectors it’s gonna have

[south shuttle]

slippery slopes although rare do happen

[south shuttle]

man i’m giving warnings or advice if or when it happens

[topaz veldt]

Should we tell kvestifhy that I am running over 720W through the 600W connector w/o issue?

[south shuttle]

you awfully relying on nvidia or pcisig they won’t do it again

[devout ridge]

warnings or advice based on absolutely nothing

[pure garnet]

strongest gn fan

[devout ridge]

i honestly don’t really care, cause i ain’t gonna buy it

my 4080S be going strong

[south shuttle]

based on that the connectors already burn or melt

the trend has been increasingly more melting

[devout ridge]

almost like as more cards are produced, the same percentage chance of failure will result in more samples

it’s crazy how math works

[topaz veldt]

What do you think datacenter GPUs use?

[steel stream]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[devout ridge]

math is hard, ik, bear with me

[pure garnet]

plugging in a rtx pro 6000

[devout ridge]

i better see powercon on the 6090 or imma be mad

[topaz veldt]

How many hundreds of thousands or millions of GPUs are in DCs running at 100% duty and haven't melted? Here's the cable they use

[south shuttle]

… just compare how many cases there are now vs they have been with ampere

[pure garnet]

hold the press

a pcie 8 pin has burnt up in lego city

[south shuttle]

there are not 10-20x more bw cards than ampere

[south shuttle]

this is way less likely to happen than with 12x-6x2

[devout ridge]

People really love making a fuss about a connector they’ve been primed to have concerns about

[pure garnet]

you mean the gen like 4 cards used the connector had a lower implied failure rate then the gen it was mandated on

[south shuttle]

higher tolerances account for it

[steel stream]

isn't it just also survivorship bias? not a lot of people are going to talk about their working normal card, but anyone with a issue will immediately speak about it

[south shuttle]

if you push the 12-6x2 by 10 more watts (so 610w) you’re already over what the contacts are rated for

[devout ridge]

Yep

[devout ridge]

that is indeed how that works

[south shuttle]

compared to 6+2 which you can load like x1.5 and it stays within contacts spec

[devout ridge]

when you exceed the rating by 10w, you exceed the rating by 10w

[steel stream]

good news guys, the mechanical rhino from ace ventura is apparently up for auction

[devout ridge]

1.5x of what

[south shuttle]

the 12v6x2 connector has way less headroom for overloads

[south shuttle]

amps or watts

[edgy laurel]

https://klipy.com/gifs/warm-ace

[devout ridge]

what is the baseline measurement that you’re multiplying by 1.5

[topaz veldt]

The BMW N20/N26 engine had timing chain failures and the lawyers and press made it out like if your car was built 2012-2015 it's going to explode. Less than 0.5% of the engines had issues.

[south shuttle]

150w

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-ventura-jim-carrey-rhino-gif-5240225

this is the rhino for sale

[devout ridge]

Hey so fun fact, 1.5x the max rated power is not within spec

just because you can do something, doesn’t mean it’s within spec

[south shuttle]

the contacts are rated for more than 150w though

[devout ridge]

copper as a metal can indeed handle more than 150w

not sure what your argument is

[steel stream]

i think im going to reinstall windows today, the preview build is annoying me

[south shuttle]

the contacts inside the 12v-6x2 at 600w are basicly maxed out on the rating
6+2 at 150w are not

[pure garnet]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows set DisplayVersion to 0

[south shuttle]

you can push the contacts more before it becomes out of spec even as of the contacts

[steel stream]

oh thanks boss

🐐

[pure garnet]

then just sign out/in

[devout ridge]

what about the tens of thousands of cards in the data center running at 1kw on 12v-2x6?

identical connector btw

[brisk jolt]

oh no my toyota blew up… it mean ur is also gonna blow

[pure garnet]

i like how we're going off limts out of spec for both cables as a gotcha

[south shuttle]

if they’re not cooled properly and poorly plugged they’ll melt

[pure garnet]

last i checked you shouldn't be trusting safety margin

[devout ridge]

i can make a nema 5-15p melt too, must be a horrible connector that we should abandon

[pure garnet]

the 6090 should be usb c

[south shuttle]

safety margin reduces the risk doesn’t eliminate, it’s much better than nothing

[topaz veldt]

Start-Sleep -Seconds 2```

[brisk jolt]

it should use usb-d, get on with the times

we’re now pushing the next generation of usb that is gonna be featured on each device once every blue moon

[pure garnet]

you could also eliminate the risk by not sending 1.5x the limit through the connector

[devout ridge]

Also there is a decent margin built into the 12v-2x6 if you just use the connector properly

[south shuttle]

it’s way less than 6+2

[devout ridge]

almost 100% margin is pretty damn good imo

[south shuttle]

the safety margin is ~10% that of 6+2 pin plus no load balancing

[south shuttle]

no 2% safety margin

[devout ridge]

my brother in christ, what the fuck are you talking about

[south shuttle]

610w and above and you’re overloading the contacts

[devout ridge]

"overloading the contacts" by what metric

[south shuttle]

the manufacturer/odm which made the specification

[devout ridge]

Again, tens of thousands of cards in the datacenter space pulling 1000w+ on a single 12v-2x6

[brisk jolt]

lets not call him a brother for… reasons

[topaz veldt]

manufacturers do not make specifications

[devout ridge]

Then by that same metric, anything over 150w is "overloading the contacts" on pcie 8pin

[south shuttle]

no

[devout ridge]

what the hell do you mean no? you have almost zero consistency in your argument

[south shuttle]

the contacts on the 6+2 can handle much more than the 150w spec allows

[pure garnet]

we’ve established rdna2 is going to die on this mountain

so in other news what’s the news

[devout ridge]

Sir, you can't just strictly abide by the specs for one connector, then not for another connector in the same comparison

[pure garnet]

6+2 fans when they come across a cable with only enough gauge for the rated load

[south shuttle]

take the contact type of the 6+2, and just calculate how many watts at which coltage goes through pins, the contacts can handle much more than 150w in total

[shell void]

this power connector conversation has been going on for so long that i left to eat lunch, came back, pooped, and youre still going on

[devout ridge]

You just said that 600w is a hard limit because that's the spec for 12v-2x6, then said 150w for pcie 8pin isn't a hard limit even though it is also the spec

[brisk jolt]

he’s the reason why shampoo has instructions and 13 in 1s

[pure garnet]

like double capacity isn’t guaranteed

[devout ridge]

I left my house, had lunch with my family, got home, and it was still going

[pure garnet]

he can’t run any new games on his card so this is the activity of choice

[brisk jolt]

I played an early access game, ate cream puffs and he’s still at it

[topaz veldt]

Holy shit @wraith steeple did you see Der Bauer $40k fraud video

[south shuttle]

150w (6+2) is spec for the connector itself, the contacts spec can handle much more
600w (12v-6x2) is spec for the connector itself, the contacts spec cannot handle more than extra 2%

[brisk jolt]

Its sad

[devout ridge]

I've had my fill of batshit crazy takes for the day, imma go play satisfactory and watch anime

[pure garnet]

i’ve brought in groceries and made lunch so far

[brisk jolt]

back to manhwa reading

[wraith steeple]

We are talking about it on WCE right now actually

[topaz veldt]

word

what section @wraith steeple

[pure garnet]

12vhpwr has a higher max amperage per pin btw, idk what "contacts spec" means

[south shuttle]

specification per one contact

[pure garnet]

so just wrong then yeah

[brisk jolt]

what they mean is that if theres electricity it’ll explode end of story

[pure garnet]

6+2 is 8a per pin, 12vhpwr is 9.5a

these are spec, not fan headcannon

[wraith steeple]

alright im bored of playing electrician

wiat what

[shell void]

the fire department is on their way to my house

[pure garnet]

5400mt/s in the new ltt video is a weird spec

[wraith steeple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as2KoDtsS_0

[steel stream]

oh shit I thought DerBauer ended up scamming people LOL

[south shuttle]

6+2 = is 3 pins of 8a 12v which is 288w (150w is spec)
12v-6x2 is 6 pins of 9.5a 12v which is 684w (600w spec)
okay i miscalculated that’s not 2% but the point still stands
684 : 600 is 14% headroom
288 : 150 is 92% headroom

[steel stream]

couldn't imagine my goat would do that

KABOOOOM

[pure garnet]

the 60w cpu is the funniest part of the image

[steel stream]

its putting in the work

[south shuttle]

is there anything wrong i said point it out

[pure garnet]

none of us wanna talk about it anymore

[south shuttle]

say…

[topaz veldt]

Bro went to Alibaba for copper materials, split $40k USD across two suppliers, scammed by both

[green marsh]

next time he will buy more expensive european materials

[steel stream]

ok thats on him

[topaz veldt]

also remember

he's charging $500+ for 5090 waterblocks...

and then sourced from Alibaba

[green marsh]

actually three, because they half-scammed him on aluminum too

[topaz veldt]

like bro, I like Roman, but all he did was show that he's trying to make even more money

[pure garnet]

convo started at 11:29 and we still going, i think im good

[wraith steeple]

What Roman showed, that's why Heatkiller, Alphacool, and such have spiked in price

[topaz veldt]

Yes but he only intended to cut his cost not his price

so chinesium copper + same $500+ block

[pure garnet]

alibaba waterblock sounds hard

[shell void]

@turbid locust i average 2700-2707MHz game clock when targeting 2737MHz on the Matrix VBIOS

that's like 50MHz higher than it achieves with the Master VBIOS for whatever reason

[turbid locust]

fire

TUF does like 2613

[topaz veldt]

TUF bios is lacking

TUF can take Master bios btw @turbid locust

sorry - waterforce

[pure garnet]

michael what bios did you say would work on my card

was it the 5070ti master

[shell void]

i dont think i ever tried vbios flashing that card

[brisk jolt]

the 70ti master doesnt work on the prime

[shell void]

master is the most aggressive 5070Ti vbios, you could try that

[merry stirrup]

why did roman buy copper from ea nazir

[cosmic gazelle]

dude how is controller compatibility in pc games not a single homogenous thing in the year 2026 and instead i have to do a different version of steam input bullshittery for every single different title

[wraith steeple]

Very true. Not sure why he didn't just bit the bullet.... I get it given how domestic materials in his native Germany have skyrocketed....... Really big missed opportunity ( ._.)

[turbid locust]

hmmmm

[pure garnet]

if you use xinput it usually works 90% of the time

[lethal topaz]

yo

[shell void]

hello mr raccoon

DLAA with Preset L is so insanely sharp

[edgy laurel]

Never had an issue with all sorts of games.

[lethal topaz]

im tweaking rn as i wait for my new monitor

[topaz veldt]

LOL Jay2Cent has a video showing hte MSI Lightning SCREEN is costing 12+ fps in games

[brisk jolt]

LOL

allat power you use for the card just to get FPS stolen by the stupi screen

[topaz veldt]

there is a "server" running on the card

so when the screen is connected its fucking up frame times

[lethal topaz]

thats weird

[topaz veldt]

I really wish he would have tested a Master w/ Matrix BIOS

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t have an xinput controller and it’s complete ass

[pure garnet]

8bitdo ultimate 2 for $59.99

[cosmic gazelle]

i shouldn’t have to buy a new controller because microslop decides they want to do everything proprietary

[pure garnet]

wait till you find out who made directx

where xinput comes from

[brisk jolt]

I honestly might get another in the future

[pure garnet]

dinput was also microsoft it’s just not as well supported

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/anchor-man-brian-fantana-time-60percent-of-the-time-gif-8937493

[edgy laurel]

xinput is from 2005, effectively everything supports it in windows

360 era stuff.. just get something from this decade

[warm urchin]

I love the new 8bitdo controller, super high quality

Feels solid enough to last a while

[pure garnet]

i wish i got the 2c when it was like $10 a few months ago

[shell void]

im wondering if this card became vaporware because it hasnt been seen since CES

[dusky moat]

my 140mm fans are too wide to fit between my ram and my side panel

[merry stirrup]

it’s ugly as fuck

[dusky moat]

i have to put them on the other side of the heatsink which means worse performance

[merry stirrup]

if it doesn’t officially release that’s ok

[pure garnet]

is the interview today mr floppa

[merry stirrup]

monday

was prepping notes for it earlier

[vestal granite]

i went through and manually cleaned all of my keycaps because its the weekend and my stomach hurts too much to go anywhere and now my fingertips hurt from cleaning the keycaps

so now i have 2 problems

[pure garnet]

97 to go

[merry stirrup]

but is a bitch one

[steel stream]

ugly

[vestal granite]

on a positive note, the only reason i cleaned my keycaps instead of anything else is because i did a good job of keeping my home clean last week so im gettin better fellas im gettin better i have hand soap dispensers now

[steel stream]

oh damn, best of luck dude

[vestal granite]

floppa doesnt need luck hes a smart cookie that one

[brisk jolt]

when the world didnt need him at all- he vanished

[steel stream]

this reminds me i need to clean my keycaps

[shell void]

im curious about it because the vbios could potentially be good for asus tuf owners

[steel stream]

i cleaned my bathroom yesterday though

[shell void]

it has the same boost clock as the Matrix and Lightning (both of those VBIOSes dont work right on the TUF)

[merry stirrup]

no im like borderline regarded

[vestal granite]

youre that for thinking youre that

[merry stirrup]

probably

i however would like the luck i am wished

dont take it for yourself

[steel stream]

what's the position floppa?

[shell void]

you just dont see the vision

[vestal granite]

u be postin stuff here and i read it and im like damn this floppa guy is way smarter today than he was when he first joined

[merry stirrup]

tier one MSP, 22 per hour

[steel stream]

nice nice

[merry stirrup]

somewhat

[steel stream]

apparently not

[merry stirrup]

it is of my own interest to progress toward enterprise and not consumers

[steel stream]

yeah that seems like it would be better

[merry stirrup]

just more interesting to me

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a dualsense because i grew up playing with a playstation controller, and tbh steam input makes just about anything playable with enough tweaking. my complaint is that i have a desktop config allowing me to use my controller like a mouse and it’s really inconsistent whether it switches into game input or not

obviously this is an edge case but im just frustrated because it feels like this shouldn’t be that hard for the OS to figure out lol

[merry stirrup]

i can’t feasibly buy any modern enterprise gear

separating work from my hobbies but keeping it still enjoyable

[steel stream]

get hired and immediately steal

[pure garnet]

that's on sony for using the old api

[merry stirrup]

one of my questions for them is “how do you guys handle e-waste” (can i steal)

[steel stream]

[merry stirrup]

it’s also a relatively large building

[vestal granite]

so... where are your guys's dumpsters

[merry stirrup]

bro

if there’s anything getting recycled i’m taking it

their ewaste dumpster is going to be my bedroom

[steel stream]

I think for this summer I only get an employee discount

[steel stream]

you get any ada 4000 cards you let me know

[cosmic gazelle]

also the 2c controller is $22.50 if you get a mint open box one right now, it’s just the principle of it lol

[merry stirrup]

should be feasible

[cosmic gazelle]

and also it’s my gfs birthday soon and i’m broke now

[steel stream]

🐐

[merry stirrup]

it’s not 1 company anymore it’s like 45+ apparently

[steel stream]

damn

[merry stirrup]

yeah i hope i get hw

if not i will try to find another job quickly after tbh

[vestal granite]

my apartment has a window in a hallway which opens out into the alleyway where the garbage cans/dumpsters are and sometimes im tempted to drop a garbage bag down 3 stories im not gonna lie

[steel stream]

go for it

[merry stirrup]

i won’t quit but i’m going to immediately apply to other msp positions

there’s a tier 2 msp position at another company for 26-36 an hour but i don’t think i meet their qualifications

i don’t work with google workspace/haven’t and apparently it’s kinda all they do

and a tier 3 at the same company but be real

[steel stream]

i got an internship for an audio company this summer, and I get discounts on a few big brands, but they don't have anything cool imo

[merry stirrup]

unfortunate

and to be fair you do have pretty great audio equipment

[steel stream]

yeah, i might just pick myself up a better mic but thats about it

[merry stirrup]

i want a neet king bee 2

or even one of their worker bees

my bad it’s “neat”

i have some fifine thing rn

supports xlr and usb c

so i’ll buy an xlr interface and then later get a king bee

[steel stream]

wait i wonder if i can get employee discount for samsung tvs...

[merry stirrup]

interesting…

[vestal granite]

what about the ones that arent world class

[steel stream]

i get fired if i try to buy them i think

im fairly certain they said that in the interview

[vestal granite]

😔

[merry stirrup]

i lowkey have no idea how interviews work

had to hit up the day one for advice

i’m going to my previous employer tomorrow for advice too

(and to steal)

(with permission, i swear)

[vestal granite]

thats okay, nobody knows how interviews work

[steel stream]

the big things for me are just be passionate, make some sort of personal connection, and ideally have something to show off during the interview

[merry stirrup]

my notes are impeccable

[steel stream]

but for IT idk what you would show off

[merry stirrup]

HWBOT HOMELAB RAHHH

i’m number 1621 out of 223,000 people on hwbot that has to mean something

[steel stream]

honestly your homelab with all your friends using it isn't bad

[merry stirrup]

i mod gpus and fix things

[merry stirrup]

12 users as of yesterday

[steel stream]

multiple users, permissions, uptime etc

[vestal granite]

keep in mind most of the time someone also wants to find out if ur gonna be a good colleague so dont be a robot in the interview, most people are robots in interviews

[merry stirrup]

yeah everything is actually set up to the best of my knowledge

[merry stirrup]

i’ve got a lowkey insane customer service voice

i’ll be fine in that aspect

but also i’m meeting with straight up the owners so we’ll see how it goes

[steel stream]

yeah that's the passionate and making a personal connection part, you gotta show that you're enthusiastic and a normal person

[merry stirrup]

where’s the kyo quote

[steel stream]

you gotta put kyoko down as a reference

[merry stirrup]

put one of my oc teammates who signed me up for the marines as a “joke” on there and see what he says about me

[vestal granite]

why did they take photos of this watch in a dahmer grow room faraday cage

[steel stream]

it looks like humidity testing

[vestal granite]

what are we doin

[steel stream]

are those like water droplets?

[merry stirrup]

n

just weird texture

[vestal granite]

i think its just the texture of the material

[steel stream]

or is it just the texture

wack

[merry stirrup]

also the sides aren’t sealed o don’t think it’s humidity testing

in my last works climate chamber it didn’t look anything like that

[vestal granite]

they could literally just take a photo on the hood of someone's car and itd be better photos than this

[steel stream]

pepe where are these photos from

[vestal granite]

ebay

[merry stirrup]

(they have a climate chamber because they primarily work with wood)

[vestal granite]

me too i dont have a climate chamber though

[steel stream]

idk it looks like some poorly insulated box to me

you can see the cotton candy in the first photo

[merry stirrup]

yeah they were the largest builder of wood ceilings lol

[vestal granite]

this is from the same seller

[merry stirrup]

would you want a hole that big in what is essentially an airlock?

[vestal granite]

theyre a big liquidation company so i check their ebay occasionally

[steel stream]

no but they're clearly not the brightest

[merry stirrup]

check respec io on ebay

i live next to them

if they have any good deals they’ll let me just go to the warehouse ❤️😭

[vestal granite]

this shit has to go literally 1.5 miles and its $17 shipping

[merry stirrup]

god DAMN

[vestal granite]

thats a fucking fake shipping price

they preset that shit

[merry stirrup]

i need a xeon w1250 to show up near me locally

[devout ridge]

First decent sized factory on this save

[merry stirrup]

because i have a w1250p i can offer for trade

[fervent chasm]

That’s not what preset looks like

[merry stirrup]

which is a straight up faster chip

but the computer i want to put it in doesn’t support P sku

[vestal granite]

is it not

[fervent chasm]

Pretty sure preset only shows the $, not what it’s using

[merry stirrup]

i’m 3/4 done with trying to find the chip locally and just ready to mod the bios for it to work anyways

[vestal granite]

this one is preset at $50 looks the same

[devout ridge]

i use spreadsheets for satisfactory more than i do for anything else

[merry stirrup]

ram oc

[fervent chasm]

Oh damn, lol $17 for 1.5 miles

Yah then it’s preset

As for local pickup

[haughty monolith]

that is serious dedication to a video game

[merry stirrup]

because then i have a 300$ computer to get rid of

that i paid 50$ for from my previous employer

[devout ridge]

Everything must be perfectly efficient and run

[fervent chasm]

Try Harding what is this a Minecraft mod

[devout ridge]

Satisfactory

[haughty monolith]

satisfactory is a game, about building your factory

[devout ridge]

that spreadsheet equates to this factory

[merry stirrup]

efficient for the sake of efficiency? no

efficient for the sake of your poor poor hardware? yes

[fervent chasm]

Oh I’ve watched let’s game it out play that

[devout ridge]

I care not about my hardware, it can fucking cope

Satisfactory is why i have 96gb of ram

[vestal granite]

satisfactory i just end up with a bunch of junk everywhere and it overwhelms me i hate having junk in that game cause i pipe it all into the recyclers

[merry stirrup]

idk for how stupid if a computer i have i certainly sit on my desktop more than i launch anything 3d by like a 15x margin

[devout ridge]

It takes a while to get fully up and running though, i use manifolds on everything

[fervent chasm]

spaghetti tornado

[fervent chasm]

And this one https://youtu.be/ALdIbC1pM-s?si=ErdK-zewOV1GzWOR

[devout ridge]

that wide screenshot really undersells just how big this factory is

[fervent chasm]

The human cannon video was also good

[haughty monolith]

hes changed i feel like, i used to like him more

[fervent chasm]

Damn that game is old as fuck

[devout ridge]

Funnily enough, i am the person who invented the most efficient cannon method in the game, and did most of the research used by the community for cannon physics

[haughty monolith]

or maybe i've changed idk

[devout ridge]

i got really bored one day when they changed cannon physics with UE5

anyways guys does anyone have data on hynix a die?

💀😭

[devout ridge]

floppa, if anyone had it, it would be you

[merry stirrup]

iroh you know damn well i have it

[devout ridge]

Hence my message

[fervent chasm]

I like to watch Reid Captain now

[merry stirrup]

it was just to do the bit iroh GOD

[devout ridge]

SORRY!

Mind you that whole massive factory, produces 6 items per minute

[steel stream]

damn that is slow as balls

[haughty monolith]

its his naming scheme i think

[merry stirrup]

6000 vs 8000 here you go

[devout ridge]

1440 iron, 540 limestone, 540 coal, every minute, for 6 items as the final product

[merry stirrup]

(ryzen)

[steel stream]

damn satisfactory is $30???

[haughty monolith]

mightaswell check him out i barely watch anything simple on youtube rn

[devout ridge]

Cope, it could be 300 and i'd still buy it

[steel stream]

ill just go play factorio

[merry stirrup]

i thought those were the same

[steel stream]

which was like $5

[vestal granite]

mid ass thumbnails and mid ass titles im not clicking on any of these

[merry stirrup]

no factorio is the 2d one isn’t it

[steel stream]

2D vs 3D

[merry stirrup]

ok ok ok

[devout ridge]

Factorio 2d, finite resources
Satisfactory 3d, infinite resources

[fervent chasm]

He’s more of like mechanical stuff in games made for other stuff

[vestal granite]

bare minimum put the game logo in a corner of the thumbnail come on but i dont see any of those videos and think "oh this is that guys content" theres nothing that speaks to me

[devout ridge]

Factorio tends to use a Bus architecture for factories, but that doesn't work super well in Satisfactory

Usually people use per item manifolds in factories

[steel stream]

you should watch OrdinarySausage

[merry stirrup]

true

i watch mostly retro computing on youtube

[steel stream]

idk what i do in factorio but it sucks

[devout ridge]

for those that don't know, this is a manifold, it is just a long line of splitters, the other option is doing the math to split up the items perfectly

[vestal granite]

i watch almost no youtube these days but when i do its trackmania because i dont play trackmania and its very straightforward and easy to watch

[steel stream]

i like the trackmania ai videos

[devout ridge]

(idle machines because the factory is still working on settling in)

[haughty monolith]

this looks like proper industrialization if i've ever seen it

[merry stirrup]

why are we like this

literally makes 0 sense for a remote position to be location limited

[steel stream]

yoooooo i can do this

wait 12-15 an hour?

what the fuck

[turbid locust]

Almost always due to taxes/labour laws/specific company policy

[green marsh]

"remote" because you will be at customers locations all the time, never at HQ

[merry stirrup]

that’s not the same thing

that’s being a field tech vs working at my desk in my room

[devout ridge]

lots of tests when U8 first came out 2 years ago

[merry stirrup]

stewpid innit

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/endfield-arknights-endministrator-relay-tower-run-gif-13814105557037984773

[merry stirrup]

yeah it’s gross but i figured a part time job in a different time zone may be doable

[fervent chasm]

Bad pay

[merry stirrup]

guys

[turbid locust]

I have to deal with it all the time so like… no

[shell void]

holy moly long video

[merry stirrup]

i know

[haughty monolith]

i feel like the 3rd option is just either of the first 2

[devout ridge]

I legit built a cannon the length of the map for testing lol

[brisk jolt]

amd jesus tired of amd’s bullshit he decided to drop this banger

[merry stirrup]

i don’t think the regularity of dealing with things should change your opinion on them (that much)

[haughty monolith]

how much free time does one have

[devout ridge]

Too much

[brisk jolt]

I earn 12-13 SGD an hour at my part time job

https://tenor.com/view/xylibanned-trapped-in-jar-trapped-halp-gif-6991355193835834107

[merry stirrup]

that’s what like 18 cents usd

[turbid locust]

I mean I can’t elaborate much without doxing myself but it makes sense in some instances, but I’m not remote it’s just interesting circumstances lol

[brisk jolt]

Typically pays in the US are like what- $20?

[fervent chasm]

Pay for what

[steel stream]

it really depends

[brisk jolt]

the hourly wage

[fervent chasm]

Yah but like, full time?

[haughty monolith]

federal minimum wage is 7 bucks or smth
idk thats what google said

[brisk jolt]

part time

[merry stirrup]

i’ve seen literally anything from 7.25 an hour+ tips here to like 160K a year

[wheat void]

States are like mini countries

[shell void]

there are numerous states where it's still legal to pay someone less than $10/hr xd

[fervent chasm]

Part time is kinda low af in my area

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[steel stream]

those are the good ones

[turbid locust]

federal min wage is $7.25/hr but quite literally nobody actually pays that

[haughty monolith]

oh, im not american idk how things work there

[steel stream]

if i had to guess it would be 12-14 for most entry level positions

[brisk jolt]

for me you also have to note we’re being scammed by the government having 20% of our pay locked up behind a stupid bank we cant access till we’re like 60+, only thing that could be used for before that point is for housing :/

[merry stirrup]

i started my help desk job at 15.75

then i talked with the owner of the company and it was brought up to 19.88

[fervent chasm]

So a forced 401k?

[brisk jolt]

yes

[wheat void]

If you're a minor it's legal get paid less than 7 an hour

[merry stirrup]

don’t be a minor

[wheat void]

True

[fervent chasm]

Just lie

[brisk jolt]

also tipping culture here is non existent so thats another thing

[fervent chasm]

God I hate the tipping culture in the US

[merry stirrup]

that’s why i hardly participate

[brisk jolt]

Thing is what are yall’s cost of living, surely the ratio balances out

[merry stirrup]

i am not tipping my door dash driver anymore than a dollar an item bro brings me

[fervent chasm]

Unless you’re doing a crazy job and delivering my food to my table 50 feet away from the kitchen why should I give you extra money

[steel stream]

i personally never tip my doordash driver

[wheat void]

Tip the person giving you a haircut.

[fervent chasm]

Should be doing cartwheels and summer salts

[merry stirrup]

i usually do 1$ cause 0 makes them longer to accept my order

[steel stream]

i only really tip for sit down restraunts

[merry stirrup]

yep

[brisk jolt]

the last time I’ve been tipped outside a holiday period was literally 2 years ago

[merry stirrup]

if i’m walking up to the counter and ordering myself and then getting it myself what am i tipping you for (respectfully)

[fervent chasm]

Really? I’ve never set a tip and they always get picked within like 10 minutes here

[brisk jolt]

How much a big mac meal cost for yall in the US?

[steel stream]

i also just don't doordash anymore, now that i have a kitchen and a car

[merry stirrup]

like probably 12$+idk

[haughty monolith]

how much does the average mcdonalds worker work per week?

[turbid locust]

lowest I see nowadays is like 10-13

[brisk jolt]

Gimme like a screenshot of an online order or smth

[haughty monolith]

actually i can check this somewhere i feel like

[fervent chasm]

$9.19 here

[fervent chasm]

Didn’t see the meal

[steel stream]

i gotta download the mcdonalds app to see

[merry stirrup]

let’s just assume 9-11 dollars

[steel stream]

is the shamrock shake back yet

[fervent chasm]

It’s funny because I’ve never even ordered McDonald’s myself, I just keep the app in case I get hungry to stare at

[merry stirrup]

put toothpaste in vanilla ice cream and then mix it

[brisk jolt]

i mean… currency exchange accounted for thats more expensive but still

[steel stream]

you gotta keep the apps so you can get the deals

[merry stirrup]

diy

[steel stream]

heretic

[merry stirrup]

mint ice cream is just not good i don’t like it personally

i’m a fruity ice cream typa guy

love me some random berries as my ice cream flavor

[steel stream]

big mac is also 9.19 here

[merry stirrup]

boysenberry 🤤

why is it 40 cents more here

[fervent chasm]

My buddy shares his account with like 10 family members, they get like 100k points/month and we use those to get free stuff sometimes

[merry stirrup]

fuck you guys

[steel stream]

Michigan on top

[fervent chasm]

Illinois

[merry stirrup]

how many is 9sgd to usd i’m on my phone

[steel stream]

best ice cream ive ever had was dark chocolate orange

[merry stirrup]

sounds delectable

[brisk jolt]

like 7 usd

[fervent chasm]

sgd is what, sigma dollar?

[merry stirrup]

singapore

[steel stream]

singapore

[fervent chasm]

I like mine better

[merry stirrup]

love those guys

had a cool friend from singapore named nazri

[steel stream]

9.10 = 7.11

[fervent chasm]

9.11=7.11

[fervent chasm]

interesting

[merry stirrup]

idk that made me think of him 💀💀

[fervent chasm]

Were they a good painter

[merry stirrup]

idk he played apex with me

my lifeline

[fervent chasm]

Did they enjoy politics

[merry stirrup]

bro i played apex and i was 14 or something

[brisk jolt]

but taking public transport and dealing with walking traffic here is just outright stupid

[merry stirrup]

i couldn’t have told you what was going on outside let alone in the world

[fervent chasm]

I was making a mustache man joke

[brisk jolt]

nice

[merry stirrup]

oh 😭

[steel stream]

it is back

[brisk jolt]

i had a friend search hytale on steam and that didnt turn out well

[merry stirrup]

people always say the us isn’t walkable and has poor public transport and idk i don’t see it

[fervent chasm]

I will never take transportation other than the train

[fervent chasm]

It’s very walkable

[brisk jolt]

as in the walking traffic being people

[steel stream]

it's really city dependent

[merry stirrup]

the town i previously lived in before oregon had 900 people and the entire bus system was free for everyone across the 3 cities

[fervent chasm]

People just think of going between counties in the UK to States in the US

[brisk jolt]

they have no manners when it comes to this

[merry stirrup]

3 cities being about 30m apart each

[steel stream]

my hometown is not walkable at all

[brisk jolt]

like when you take the metro here its expected that you wait for the people inside to come out then you go in, nah these bastards literally block the way standing right in front instead of the side

[fervent chasm]

Tbh I prefer not walking though especially in the major cities

You see some funny stuff but it’s not worth the smell

[pure garnet]

that has yet to stop anyone near me

i see people walking across a 55mph highway

[merry stirrup]

yeah funny stuff being an entire naked lady tweaking out by the bus stop with shit out of her ass bro

[fervent chasm]

I’m so glad we’re in the suburbs and not downtown Chicago

[brisk jolt]

then this fuck today in front of me saw me running for the bus and decided not to move, looking back I shouldve just ran them down TBH

[merry stirrup]

never walked inside my home faster

[steel stream]

i bet she would have made nice conversation

[merry stirrup]

called out of work and school literally immediately

[fervent chasm]

First time I visited NYC I went alone, saw a dude pissing in the middle of the street I swear on everything, literally not long after I left the airport

[merry stirrup]

my example was NOT arbitrary

[steel stream]

I grew up in a suburban area, so I didn't even have highways near me and stuff

[brisk jolt]

global standards are decreasing second by second

[low sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKPvYbCSWT8

[merry stirrup]

why the dell logo

with the very obvious custom built computer

[brisk jolt]

what we see on person’s task manager saying “i have memory leak”

[fervent chasm]

Must have been smaller suburbs

[merry stirrup]

also is that face ai i don’t think ive ever seen linus look remotely like that bro 😭

[fervent chasm]

We have streets here where the speed limit is like 55

[pure garnet]

my entire town is built around 2 highways basically

[merry stirrup]

can’t wait for the 2 day marination into thumbnail+title change on that one

[steel stream]

it's just a nice area, we have highways and stuff, but its very purposeful built

[merry stirrup]

bro look up entiat washington and that’s where i used to live

[steel stream]

yall don't know the struggles of growing up in the burbs

[brisk jolt]

the longest highway here in SG is like frigging 40 miles/65KM or smth

[merry stirrup]

I WAS RAISED BY THESE STREETS

https://tenor.com/view/i-ran-the-streets-since-i-was-young-streets-killed-me-streets-streets-killed-me-i-ran-the-streets-i-ran-gif-9272911006116867923

[steel stream]

I didn't even get access to the country club across the street from me till i was 18 man

[haughty monolith]

what does she actually say i forgot

[fervent chasm]

I’ve never been to one, don’t think I ever will

[merry stirrup]

“the streets killed me”

[fervent chasm]

I’d have to be an old fart probably

[haughty monolith]

lmao

[merry stirrup]

absolutely insane clip

[steel stream]

in my high school of about 1600 students (one of three high schools in the district) not one person lived in a multi person dwelling, i.e. everyone lived in a single family house

[steel stream]

it's just nice to chill by the pool

[fervent chasm]

You must’ve grown up with some money in the family lol

[brisk jolt]

its almost 3am i should actually turn in

[merry stirrup]

you musnt

[fervent chasm]

My high school was ranked the lowest in the state iirc

[steel stream]

we're decently well off, but not anything crazy. Just comfortable living

[fervent chasm]

Or very close

[merry stirrup]

do i order mcdonald’s cause you fatasses started talking about it

[fervent chasm]

I graduated with a 1.7 gpa lol

[steel stream]

yes I am thinking about getting it for dinner

[steel stream]

whaaaaaa

[merry stirrup]

my first high school was k12 and had 30 students in each class at most

[pure garnet]

if you get a deal with the app sure

[steel stream]

1.7 bro

[fervent chasm]

Yay you could fail 6 classes and still graduate

[pure garnet]

mcdonald is only good when it’s <$7

[merry stirrup]

my entire “town” had less people than your school bro

[fervent chasm]

I finished college with a 3.5

[steel stream]

ok nice

[fervent chasm]

I got my associates in 1 year

[pure garnet]

did you just never turn in homework during high school

[steel stream]

nice man good for you

[fervent chasm]

Nope

[haughty monolith]

is that high?

[merry stirrup]

53% attendance rate i wont lie

[steel stream]

i will get my high school to invade your town

[fervent chasm]

I did tests and quizzes, aced them

[steel stream]

usually it's a 4.0 scale

[fervent chasm]

Compared to a 1.7 yes

[merry stirrup]

meta

[haughty monolith]

oh
its a 5.0 scale here i got confused

[merry stirrup]

this guy gets it

[haughty monolith]

fair

[pure garnet]

i think my unweighted hs was a 3.2 because half the time i’d just skip an assignment if i didn’t wanna do it

[merry stirrup]

i genuinely had a 53% attendance rate across all of high school

[fervent chasm]

I didn’t do homework because I found it boring, and it’s stuff I already knew

[pure garnet]

now i have a 3.8 or something in uni

[steel stream]

i was hella lazy in hs, unweighted was like a 3.4 or smth. But im chilling with about a 3.5 in college rn

[merry stirrup]

(mostly online and i’d show up for tests)

[fervent chasm]

I basically taught the networking class for my teacher, lol

[pure garnet]

3.5 is a w

[fervent chasm]

He gave me an A for doing his work for him

[steel stream]

it's tanking this semester trust

[pure garnet]

mine is padded mostly by being online this year

[steel stream]

as long as i stay above a 3.0 im happy though

[pure garnet]

i had a 4.0 last semester because it’s impossible to do poorly online

[steel stream]

i hate the CS portion of my degree

[pure garnet]

you either get 100 or 0 no in between

[merry stirrup]

this is true

[steel stream]

even though im a computer engineering student

[fervent chasm]

I had to stay above a 3.0 for my scholarship

[merry stirrup]

you do nothing or you do something

[fervent chasm]

Apparently me coming from a poor family and being poor broke some hearts and I got money for it

[haughty monolith]

im graduating something this year and i might not get into a good highschool/college cz i lwk don't know anything

[brisk jolt]

gotta hit the “i need sleep”

[merry stirrup]

i will be a first generation student whenever i decide to go

[pure garnet]

my php class was the worst because she posted an assignment to make a website with a working account system with no directions, so i did it, and then she got mad i didn’t follow the instructions she posted 2 weeks later

[haughty monolith]

idk do you guys have primary schools in the US?
one school you go to for 9 years straight

[pure garnet]

i had to redo the entire site

[fervent chasm]

Make sure you mention your economic hardships lol

[merry stirrup]

or i wont go at all because experience matters so much more in IT than school, we’ll see

[pure garnet]

and my solution was actually more feature complete when it came to error handling and stuff

[merry stirrup]

i had a teacher who had handwriting and grammar so bad i’d have to go through the assignments before bro assigned them

(how did this guy get hired even)

(he was a forestry teacher, that’s why)

[steel stream]

he only knew trees

[haughty monolith]

my chemistry teacher is like that
to be fair she is ancient so i can't expect much

[merry stirrup]

and i 100% believe that

i’m sure he was qualified in his field but man

[fervent chasm]

Depends, my gf worked at target for 3 years and she got a job in the university tech team because of her experience working with the stuff there over people with way more education in it

[haughty monolith]

what did he teach?

[merry stirrup]

forestry

[steel stream]

trees

[fervent chasm]

Some places want to see a paper, some want to see experience, some both

[merry stirrup]

ding ding ding

bro could measure a tree like nobody’s business

[steel stream]

score

[haughty monolith]

oh

[fervent chasm]

Can he guess the age

[haughty monolith]

i might go study that just cz i might not have another choice

[fervent chasm]

Without seeing the rings

[merry stirrup]

idk he stopped teaching the same year

i did not like him i only did it so i could understand what he was trying to write on the paper

[fervent chasm]

Yah I’m glad I got school over with

We had like 2 teachers the same year get put on paid leave, basically early retirement

[steel stream]

he just didn't like the idea of writing on his killed comrades

[fervent chasm]

Not for good reasons

[merry stirrup]

this may be true but explain the google docs issues

damn actually you guys convinced me damn

[steel stream]

it looks too much like paper so he got flashbacks

[merry stirrup]

let me check mc dees app for deals

[haughty monolith]

he used to be one with the trees so he had to learn english again

[fervent chasm]

Maybe he went to plant himself

[haughty monolith]

😭

[steel stream]

i made burgers last night so i probs wont get mc donalds tonight

[merry stirrup]

call me o’leary then bro

let it die let it die let it shrivel up and die

[fervent chasm]

I bought a pack of the spicy ramen

[merry stirrup]

food for the week

[fervent chasm]

I love it so much

[merry stirrup]

the shin black stuff?

[haughty monolith]

buldak

[steel stream]

i got pasta and chicken i gotta work through

[merry stirrup]

goated pick if so

[fervent chasm]

Yes the black buldak one

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/spicy-picante-ardilla-noodles-squirrel-gif-5890182508057332158

[merry stirrup]

i’ve seen this often but i’ve never tried it

[fervent chasm]

It was half off so I bought it

They’re really expensive normally

[merry stirrup]

describe it to me accurately enough so i can decide if i’d want it

[fervent chasm]

Can you handle spice

[haughty monolith]

idk im guessing it welds your ass shut

[merry stirrup]

more than

[fervent chasm]

I can but it’s spicy even for me

[haughty monolith]

right after destroying your stomach

[fervent chasm]

Like it’s good if you like spicy

[merry stirrup]

does it have a taste other than spicy

[fervent chasm]

But your eyes will water at a minimum lol

[haughty monolith]

its kinda sweet i think?=

[whole coral]

I love spice

[fervent chasm]

Not that one

[haughty monolith]

oh

[merry stirrup]

cause it’s not pleasing regardless of if i like spice or not lol

[whole coral]

Idk why but I’ve been drinking this Tabasco hot sauce daily for like two weeks now lmao

[fervent chasm]

It tastes like just chicken soup but really spicy

[merry stirrup]

if it’s just spice i kinda don’t see the point

[merry stirrup]

hmm okay

i will consider

[fervent chasm]

Expect to be shitting red logs

[merry stirrup]

my sister gets the purple buldak maybe i’ll steal one from her as a trial idk

see if i like their noodles or not

[fervent chasm]

The noodles are good

[haughty monolith]

i didn't find out how much the average mcdonald works per week and maybe accidentally signed a jim hill up to work at mcdonalds in arizona

hopefully not

[merry stirrup]

oh my god

oh my god oh my god oh my god

[fervent chasm]

Oh you know what’s good

[merry stirrup]

my past self is goated

[fervent chasm]

Noodles and Co 😩

We’ve been getting the buy one get one free for so long

You can buy 1 entree and get 1 free (any price)

[merry stirrup]

last time i had it i didn’t like it but i suspect going to one in a mall isn’t a great choice

[fervent chasm]

The one with the shrimp was so good

[merry stirrup]

idk i had their mac and something else at some point

[fervent chasm]

We get it every time I visit my gf because it’s super close and you can just keep getting 2 meals for $10

Make a new account each time

[merry stirrup]

i think there’s a degree to how much i want free food

[haughty monolith]

no but think of floppa's forestry teacher you'll kill him with all the co2 you're generating

[merry stirrup]

i’d do that maybe 4 times max before being too lazy to reconsider it

[fervent chasm]

I don’t get it because it’s free I get it because it’s good and free

[fervent chasm]

Lazy doing what

it’s like 5 buttons

[merry stirrup]

seems legit

[fervent chasm]

Anyway

McDonald’s has good deals sometimes

[merry stirrup]

do you just have infinite emails

[haughty monolith]

ig they use tempmail?

[fervent chasm]

Don’t have to, they have an option to delete your account, so you can reuse

[merry stirrup]

whaaaa

that’s a regarded oversight

insane. w man

[fervent chasm]

You can also do email plussing or whatever it’s called

youremail+<insert whatever>@example.com

Will get sent to the same inbox as [e-mail]

[merry stirrup]

2.16 for a double cheese burger that’s worth

[fervent chasm]

I’m feining buldak now

[steel stream]

the best fast food deals are found at taco bell

[merry stirrup]

but taco bell is bipolar about what they want to price good

[steel stream]

just get the $7 or $9 boxes

[haughty monolith]

i'd be hungry from all this food talk had i not just devoured 500g of chicken + a side of caramelized onions

[merry stirrup]

yeah those are the best

[haughty monolith]

whoops didnt mean to reply

[merry stirrup]

my gf kinda makes me mad ordering from taco bell i won’t lie

she gets a chalupa with some extra stuff and it comes out to literally 7$

and i’m like “babe just get the chalupa box and do the same shit you get like 3x the food”

“i don’t want all that”

[haughty monolith]

oh i thought someone spat in your food once or smth

[merry stirrup]

then an hour later “make me my noodles” raaahhh

[steel stream]

$7 box with the chalupa supreme is awesome

[steel stream]

just start ordering the box for her and say "oh i got it by accident"

[merry stirrup]

💀😭

[steel stream]

thank you taco bell, no one can do what you do

now I want tbell

[fervent chasm]

Oh I love the Taco Bell boxes

I get like half off sometimes they’re so good

[steel stream]

1100 calories for $7 is awesome

[fervent chasm]

You guys have no idea how much I do shopping based on deals

Uber Eats is my favorite

[gentle gale]

these are awesome

[fervent chasm]

Hello Fresh I used to be able to get 12 meals for $9.XX every few weeks

[merry stirrup]

can you still do the 9$ box with a crunchwrap

[gentle gale]

i get the crunchwrap supreme boxes

[steel stream]

the best uber eats deal ive ever gotten was 40 wings, 3 large fries, drink, and 3 ranches for like $20. split it with 3 other friends it was goated

[gentle gale]

yeah

[steel stream]

you can to the 6.99 build your own online box and get one

[fervent chasm]

Yah you can get 35 wings, large fries, and chicken sandwich pretty often for $17, I love Uber Eats

[steel stream]

this is the 9.00 box

[merry stirrup]

hmmmm okie

[fervent chasm]

This one was ok

[steel stream]

add beef to the burrito and its pretty solid for $8

if you guys havent gotten these yet, these shits are so good

[steel stream]

no ranch??? no hot honey??????

[gentle gale]

damn maybe i should get taco bell tn

[fervent chasm]

One time we got a full refund (I asked for partial) because they seasoned the entire top part of the fries but no where else because it made the top ones inedible

[steel stream]

wingstop hot honey + their ranch is so good

[brave panther]

cinaslop

[fervent chasm]

I hate ranch with meat

[steel stream]

you're missing out

[steel stream]

they're good and i stand by it

[fervent chasm]

I’m not I hate it because I tried it

[brave panther]

1k cal for that shit, no thanks

[fervent chasm]

Don’t gotta eat it all at once

[steel stream]

some people smoke crack, ill eat the 1K calories of fried cinnamon sugar goodness

[brave panther]

crack is zero calorie 👍

[steel stream]

you can also just do this

[cosmic gazelle]

yo what exactly is the limiting factor when i’m dropping framerate in pokemon scarlet yet no single core of my cpu is maxed, my gpu is at 60%, and my ram isn’t full

am i stupid

[fervent chasm]

Are you emulating or something?

[steel stream]

but i won't OD on a dessert

[heavy mantle]

Bad code from game or emulator

[pure garnet]

and what did the friends eat

[steel stream]

it's just the emulator struggling

[fervent chasm]

It’s gonna be the emulating part, it’s not easy to emulate lol

[cosmic gazelle]

yes

[steel stream]

they shared the drink

[heavy mantle]

I wana oc my switch oled one day

Just have to wait till somehow someway it becomes modable

[steel stream]

can you even OC the switch oled

[heavy mantle]

Yeah the difference is quite shocking

[pure garnet]

with a modchip yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t understand how two games for the same console can run at 20% gpu usage and 60% usage with a clear bottleneck at the same resolution and framerate lmao

[heavy mantle]

Especially in botw and other zelda games

[steel stream]

that's just kind of the quirks of emulators

[pure garnet]

the emulator only emulates the console

so anything that would lag the console would also lag the emulator

[cosmic gazelle]

can a vanilla switch still not do 30fps in scarlet

[heavy mantle]

I mean i wana mod mines so bad just that i dont wana risk the chance of bloofing mines while modding it

[cosmic gazelle]

is it still that terrible

[pure garnet]

i haven’t checked when the switch 2 port fixed everything

[steel stream]

and emulators are coded by people, theres bound to be issues when reverse engineering stuff

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m running that update version and it doesn’t appear to have changed much

[heavy mantle]

Plz community make softmod

[fervent chasm]

Before and after lol @merry stirrup

[cosmic gazelle]

esp when the main dev team isn’t even working on the billion forks anymore because they got cnd by nintendo

[steel stream]

thatll do it

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m using eden because it’s the only one that would run the acnh 3.0 update

but ryujinx forks run even worse these days

they’re just significantly more accurate with rendering

[merry stirrup]

looks good

[indigo tree]

Is there a browser for Android that has good extension support, and isn't chrome(mostly for downloading)

[haughty monolith]

Please tell me this isn't the final product

[fervent chasm]

i dont do more than that

you can stir fry but i dont

[haughty monolith]

Uncivilized swine

[fervent chasm]

no i just dont feel like it

i want fast spicy soup

[haughty monolith]

Idk what that is

[haughty monolith]

Idk i only eat them if im bored and feel like wrecking my stomach for today

[fervent chasm]

stuff like this

[haughty monolith]

Usually make the noodles, drain most of the water and mix in the spice

[cosmic gazelle]

i have heard that firefox mobile is reasonably good these days but idk

[haughty monolith]

Maybe i just don't like ramen

[cosmic gazelle]

i only really like good restaurant ramen like that

at home ramen just don’t hit the same

[haughty monolith]

Ngl i blame my sister for me not liking ramen

Her diet consists of mostly ramen and an occasional salad

Can't stand the smell

[cosmic gazelle]

this pains me as a fitness and nutrition professional

[haughty monolith]

It pains me as someone who hates the smell of ramen

[indigo tree]

I prefer it, but it's my main browser. I prefer segregating my "everyday" browser and y "downloading" browser

[haughty monolith]

I like it

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust https://videocardz.com/newz/nv-uv-brings-one-click-undervolting-to-geforce-rtx-50-gpus

[turbid locust]

does it actually do anything

[pure garnet]

my 1440p monitor looks so bad

it's criminal that i picked it over 4k 144hz back then

[topaz veldt]

Dunno yet

[turbid locust]

4K240 is decent price nowadays

[merry stirrup]

i cant lie it looks vibe coded

wait its just afterburner but different?

[turbid locust]

I think it's just a feature in afterburner lmao

[merry stirrup]

basically they vibecoded a different ui and a couple of logging things to ab

only real thing that makes me think that is the fact it says "lock and load" on the bottom

who is seriously putting that in their undervolting utility

[turbid locust]

lol

[merry stirrup]

seems that theyre german so maybe not idk

lol

[turbid locust]

im just gonna assume it lowers the V/F curve by 5mv lmao

[merry stirrup]

no promise of open source either

yeah im so good bro do not download this on a computer you care about

[merry stirrup]

apparently its supposed to just do it for you over time slowly and then apply profiles per game

which sure thats totally possible and kinda cool (also useless, just find one that works for everything)

[pure garnet]

the flop

[turbid locust]

lol

[merry stirrup]

yeah idk it also gives you no different control than afterburner really

only promise of presets/automation

Community Presets (Eco / Balanced / Performance / Max):
Four pre-configured profiles per GPU serve as a starting point.
Select a preset, one click, and you're done. The presets are intentionally conservative. Those who want to get more performance can, of course, adjust the values ​​themselves at any time.

Voltage Step Scanner:
Automatically finds the highest stable frequency for a defined target voltage.
The scanner uses a DX12 + DXR stress test that cycles through various load patterns, including idle-to-full-load transients, DXR ray tracing bursts, and variable load levels. The focus is specifically on the load changes that typically cause instability or driver crashes during gaming.

UV Pilot (Automatic Game Detection):
Currently automatically detects around 573 games and can assign a separate UV profile to each one.
Start game → UV profile is activated.
End game → Return to the stock profile or a defined anchor profile.

Game Replay (Crash Downstep):
If the graphics driver crashes, which can happen with overly aggressive undervolting, NV-UV automatically reduces the frequency. Once you've found a stable UV profile, you can close NV-UV; Afterburner will handle the rest, and the profile will remain active. Combining Game Replay with the UV Pilot allows you to use custom, game-specific UV profiles.

[turbid locust]

wtf

[merry stirrup]

sorry

[arctic bronze]

wall of text

[merry stirrup]

blah blah blah its relevant its fine its ok

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/minions-blah-blah-blah-roll-eyes-eyeroll-whatever-gif-16216173

[merry stirrup]

i do forget most of you are on your phones

[arctic bronze]

im on pc rn lol

im just messing with you lmao

[shell void]

purple fans have so much aura

[merry stirrup]

yeah its a lot of text but to me its like fine

[indigo walrus]

I've found that not wanting to read (a properly formatted) wall of text has less to do with being on a small screen and more to do... with the person. ahem I mean what? 🤣 Okay okay, maybe I just find it this way because I have this conversation at work on a weekly basis. The number of times I hear "I'm not reading all that" from leadership...

[merry stirrup]

find a floppa some gentle typhoons

[merry stirrup]

its just hard for me to keep track on something so small and the stuff moves around idk

[vestal granite]

this isnt aura farming this is aura agriculture

[indigo walrus]

This I do have a problem with, especially in apps whose UI/UX designers think is okay for content to shift whilst you're trying to read or press-and-hold to open a menu. 😄

[vestal granite]

yes, it all depends on the writing style - you can spice things up and add freaky deakyness... or you can add suspense that keeps them reading

normally i do the freaky deakyness

[shell void]

@ grok can you summarize this? im not reading allat

[pure garnet]

chromebook gamers are in the trenches

[merry stirrup]

turns out i have a lot more than 6 sticks of bench relevant ddr3

[shell void]

yippee my chromebook can play a game from 2001

[merry stirrup]

however many that is

[shell void]

logitech mouse plugged into corsair thingy

[merry stirrup]

look closer

[merry stirrup]

11

[pure garnet]

phantom gaming

[merry stirrup]

although 2 of them are the cute lil mini guys

half height dimms are so silly

i fw this

[shell void]

oh i see it's not in the corsair thingy

[merry stirrup]

lol

just 2 mouses ones charging lol

i do not have advanced methods liek that

fully loaded with the ram in my room i bothered to find it gets pretty heavy

i got like 15 sticks in it rn pretty dense

there is 100% a stick of oloy ram and i dont know where i put that red microndimm

[arctic bronze]

Mouses 😭

[merry stirrup]

look it up

creators of the pc mouse chose mouses as a plural to differentiate from the rodent

although its interchanged today

[arctic bronze]

nerd

[merry stirrup]

yes

[arctic bronze]

lmao

[merry stirrup]

i wish this thing somehow held sodimms

i have for some reason an equal amount of sodimms

just wait till i learn bga rework for stuff liek this i just have infinite ram

[turbid locust]

you need the ram holder I 3d printed

[merry stirrup]

do you got one of the stacking ones

[cosmic gazelle]

yo floppa do you know anything about skylake x99 i7s

[turbid locust]

nah just some random design I found

[merry stirrup]

ok but i just cooked up

[arctic bronze]

thats better than my box o' ram

[merry stirrup]

yes, buy xeon e5 16XX v3 instead

[cosmic gazelle]

way more expensive

[shell void]

do you mean x299? x99 was haswell and broadwell

[merry stirrup]

just gotta stagger the sodimms its fine

[merry stirrup]

what

[cosmic gazelle]

6850k is x99 @shell void i didn’t realize that was still considered broadwell

[merry stirrup]

honestly this didnt even process

[cosmic gazelle]

i thought 6 meant skylake lol

[indigo walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/willy-wonka-excited-smile-the-suspense-gene-wilder-gif-5933521
Not but seriously, some of the greatest /r/talesfromtechsupport stories are written by people who you'd think would be naturally novel writers, even though they're just regular, everyday IT workers.

[merry stirrup]

intel was weird for some reason HEDT was 1k above

[shell void]

ah yeah the unlocked broadwell chips are super overpriced

[merry stirrup]

like a 3930k is sandybridge

[cosmic gazelle]

i saw the opposite, a 1680 v4 is like twice the price of a 6850k these days

[shell void]

actually woah the 6850K did come down in a price a lot

[arctic bronze]

my favorite is speaking with the "I need a miniumum of # amount of words" as if you are doing an assignment

[merry stirrup]

unless you have a specific interest in broadwell (i dont think 16xx v4 is unlocked) then i wouldnt really buy it

[shell void]

the 6850K is down to $35 now surprisingly floppa

[arctic bronze]

bro my bridge is so sandy

[shell void]

last i checked it was like $100

[merry stirrup]

yeah just googled after u said that

[merry stirrup]

gotta grain of salt

[cosmic gazelle]

no i know but that single thread difference is no joke

[merry stirrup]

passmark is user submitted and therefore oc results get ran thru too

haswell to broadwell especially on x99 was pretty small considering oc

[cosmic gazelle]

ya my moderately overclocked 4790k was like top 5% tho

so probably not a ton

but ya i found it cool that you can get a 6c12t x99 chip for $35

[merry stirrup]

35 is good then i thought they were still like 100$ like mike said

[shell void]

looks like the 6900K and 6950X are still mega overpriced sadly

[merry stirrup]

5930K's got nice and cheap too, epic

[shell void]

id like a 6950X but not for that price

[merry stirrup]

yeah top end tax

[cosmic gazelle]

this is a much worse deal yeah

[merry stirrup]

10 core unlocked is cool tho

although id pick a 10900K lol

[cosmic gazelle]

better off just going for a higher core count xeon i feel like if you’re that desperate for multi threading

[pure garnet]

yo apparently on linux the 9800x3d uses 0w of power

[merry stirrup]

no its not the amount of cores

its the weirdness of the amount of cores lol

[cosmic gazelle]

infinite power glitch

[digital plume]

did you put vaseline around your vram?
