[lilac crater]

Do you perhaps do any coding?

[brisk jolt]

taobao deskpad save me

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-exusiai-angel-confused-dizzy-gif-15630974669602071569

[indigo walrus]

I used to. I mean, I still do, sometimes, but I used to, too.

[lilac crater]

The other analogy I understood but this one I didn’t seem to understand

[lilac crater]

So the cable is not supporting? For 4k?

Would you open for this? @indigo walrus I’m not dming you to become my personal servant or something lol dw

[indigo walrus]

No, the projector can accept a 4K signal, but can only project a 720p signal, therefore it's disingenous for the manufacturer to call it a 4K projector.

[indigo walrus]

Open for what? Just ask questions here when you have them and await the response of a volunteer.

[steel stream]

it's because we went through the same hassle, and had to research for ourselves

[lilac crater]

Coincidentally your name also say’s hdr haha

[trim agate]

Yall seen the “4K 720p HD 60fps Webcam” before?

[steel stream]

my best analogy for HDR on most monitors is like me saying I can go run a 5K right now, technically I could do it, but it's not going to be pretty at all

[lilac crater]

Perhaps reread my original text before it

[trim agate]

It was actually 480p

[lilac crater]

Are we even able to see such heights of quality?

[steel stream]

I am a big HDR guy

[steel stream]

on proper displays yes

[lilac crater]

I heard someone say that 4k is the highest the eyes can see

[steel stream]

can confirm that is not true

[indigo walrus]

I don't know who you text to become friends with them. Friends should happen naturally over time, and never feeling like it's forced.

[trim agate]

The eyes can’t see past 60fps the industry is a scam /j

[trim agate]

You should count it

Get yourself an 8k TV and count the pixels

[low sorrel]

aren't all oled monitors techincally below hdr 600

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate i am stupid I FORGOT TODAY I START AT 1 LOL

[steel stream]

it's hard to relate video and the capabilities of your eyes, your eyes see this analog signal essentially. But we can get close, I think they are called retina displays. Basically where the pixel count on a display is high enough, and the PPI is so high that you can't see pixels anymore

[analog scroll]

See when I look directly at my monitor, no flickering, but when I look to the side it flickers in my peripheral

kinda annoying tbh

[steel stream]

newer ones are doing 1K nit peak

[lilac crater]

So how high can we even physically be able to see

[trim agate]

You went to school early?

[lilac crater]

Or even spot a tiny ini mini difference

[brisk jolt]

yeah

[trim agate]

Lolololol

[steel stream]

it depends on resolution and display size, so PPI

[lilac crater]

Also this is a actual question which I’m confused about
My monitor is 2560x1440 is this 2k or is it not?
And secondly if it’s underneath 2k how come when I emulate or play normal non emulated games and put it on 4k settings I spot tiny differences of quality?

[low sorrel]

yeah but my mini led does 1700 nits

[steel stream]

loaded question that I do not have the time to answer rn tbh

[low sorrel]

(in a 50% window)

[lilac crater]

No worries

[steel stream]

well uh my 2025 flagship tv does 2400!

[lilac crater]

Have a nice day sir

[steel stream]

you too

[low sorrel]

what's it do in a 100% window

[steel stream]

400

according to google

[trim agate]

XG27AQWMG for $680 usd hmm

I do not have the funds unfortunately

[steel stream]

also everytime I watch an older movie that was remastered on the G5, I am shocked at how good it looks, film still holds up

[trim agate]

I think the biggest upgrade to my setup rn would be an oled monitor

Everything else would be like “oh that’s cool”

Maybe my mouse bec my back button double clicks a lot

[shell void]

what is this scary shipping price?

i have no use for two desk pads because i usually clean my pad once per month

and it lasts me 2-4 years

[indigo walrus]

There's no such thing as 2k resolution. It's a marketing term that manufactures shockingly misuse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_display_resolutions

[trim agate]

The grip on my mousepad is starting to break and stick to my table I fear I’m in need of a new one

[shell void]

2K is 2048x1080p which has never existed in consumer displays afaik

aside from showpiece TVs like a decade ago that nobody bought

[indigo walrus]

Exactly. In the context of computer monitors, 2K is not a real thing.

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate nothing here except 2 dumbasses who didnt read whatsapp LMAO

[fervent chasm]

I need an OLED

Everyone I know but me has one it’s actually wild

In the span of half a year all my friends got OLEDs lol

[trim agate]

????

[fervent chasm]

I feel left out

[brisk jolt]

bring out the acursed 2.5k and 3.8k resolutions

[shell void]

when people say 2K i first think 1920x1080p, but then i remember that most normies say 2K when describing 2560x1440p, and i ask them to clarify

[fervent chasm]

2.5k

[brisk jolt]

yeah so me and some1 else are just chillin in the cafeteria

[shell void]

correct

[trim agate]

One time i went to class and i found it it was cancelled

[lilac crater]

That is horrible

[trim agate]

Another time I was otw to class and my lecturer just cancelled it

[fervent chasm]

It’s actually annoying because it gets marketed as 3 things, 2k, 2.5k, and 1440p

When I was looking for rearview mirrors with built in front and an external rear camera, I wanted a 1440p rear camera, I had to search between all 3

It makes it super annoying

[shell void]

2048x1080p (1920x1080p for home) = 2K
2560x1440p = 2.5K
4096x2160p (3840x2160p for home) = 4K
5120x2880p = 5K
6K is less standardized, but Apple used 6016x3384p

[fervent chasm]

8K

[shell void]

7680x4320p for home 8K

8K will be the true standard that we hang onto for a while

but businesses are waiting for display tech and compression to improve first

[fervent chasm]

It’s funny how the wide displays are named

It’s shown as 5k2k on some listings

[brisk jolt]

lololol

[shell void]

that's not so egregious becuase 5120x2160p is a new thing this year

but K naming is flawed because most people have no idea what it means

[indigo walrus]

Imagine not following a standard naming convention. (I will die on this hill.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_display_resolutions

[fervent chasm]

It wasn’t 2160p 💀

[shell void]

oh my gord

5K2K is supposed to be 5120x2160

[pure garnet]

3840x2160 being 4k made sense

people trying to retroactively deage their dinosaur era 1440p displays with 2k is the mess

[snow holly]

https://tenor.com/view/what-what-did-you-say-whut-are-you-sure-what-is-that-gif-15745699

this is so gay, does anyone have a good hdr movie player for windows

[low sorrel]

mpc-hc

VLC

MPV

[teal kite]

thx

[teal kite]

they were charging 100$ a year* btw for hdr pro...

only 2$ a week some bs stuff like that

[low sorrel]

my brother in christ

windows media player can play hdr these days

[teal kite]

had some issue with it working with H265

H265 10bit HDR 10+

[brisk jolt]

fuck no im trying to go as cheap as i can

[indigo walrus]

MPV.net is love; is life. ❤️

[teal kite]

it was actually 10$ a month btw... what a joke

[indigo walrus]

Oof. I wouldn't pay a dime for that, especially when they can't even spell trial correctly.

[teal kite]

LMAOOOOO i just noticed that

predatory apps PMO

coughs
Photoshop

holy McAfee and Norton

[low sorrel]

nuh uh mpc-hc better

it's the one i use so i like so it's best

[indigo walrus]

I used to use it after VLC but it had weird compatibility issues with high bitrate x265 backups of my Blurays that I had to switch. This was many years ago so I'm sure it's improved since.

[odd sable]

after VLC
why not VLC?

[low sorrel]

rtx hdr and vsr support for me

[indigo walrus]

VLC also does not play nicely with certain MKV files that contain multiple tracks. I still use it, but only sparingly these days.

[odd sable]

multiple video tracks?

[indigo walrus]

Video, audio, subtitles. Especially if the subs have weird embedded fonts.

[odd sable]

i haven't had issue with multiple audio or sub tracks

but i guess some files do be weird

[thin juniper]

do we have any theories about how good the Nova Lake iGPU will be?

[minor herald]

it be cool if there is option for insted of second cpu core tile you can get moster igpu tile

[thin juniper]

that would be EPIC

my ITX plans, NEED to have the machine fit in a 1" cube

[minor herald]

i was realy hoping when amd had chiplet cpus they where going to have IGPU chiplet over being the crazy laptop chip the are

[thin juniper]

that would be awesome

[minor herald]

we will see when it comes out

[thin juniper]

yeah

too bad its not on LGA 1851

[minor herald]

at least intel arrow lake refesh is giving amd problems

[thin juniper]

yeah

the bLLC looks promising too

[minor herald]

i was very happy to see it was bumping d2d/memory support to be fair intel acadenlty leaked the higher memory suport like 6 months before it came out by listing arrow lake refesh memory suport in there arrow lake documnation maunal on there site for all public to read

[thin juniper]

lol

[maiden prairie]

Mpv is the single best thing that happened in my life

[brisk jolt]

kinda yes and no tbh

yeah great value but the ram cost more than the cpu

[minor herald]

same for amd am5 chips
but arrow lake 265k is faster/cheaper then 9700x

[tight pollen]

is it safe to delete this?

[frail beacon]

It's the swap file used when ram is filled up. Having that is really useful to keep the system stable.

[tight pollen]

what about this one

(No Extension)

[frail beacon]

I'm not sure what that is
Probably system files or anything else that do not have any extension or known file types

Are you low on storage?

@merry stirrup put a bid down on this as it’s the cheapest not shit motherboard i could find that actually comes with a cpu

it’s a gamble because the seller was too stupid to include a picture

but if I have to return it I have to return it

[frank zealot]

... FX 6300? jesus

Why are you buying an FX Chip? They were horrid across the board

[cosmic gazelle]

must i hear this shit from you specifically every time i buy a part for next to nothing to tune with

nobody said this when floppa bought the same exact part

[frank zealot]

Floppa buys nonsense for giggles and knows exactly what he's getting into

FX was so bad it literally almost killed AMD as a company

[pure garnet]

fx was so bad a haswell competitor was a massive upgrade

[frank zealot]

I'm pretty sure sandybridge was competative in many respects

[steel stream]

there was a unknown chemical found at one of the buildings on my campus W

[pure garnet]

mystery chemicals mmm

[steel stream]

it's gotta be something good

[frank zealot]

go pee in it

[steel stream]

sadly they have locked down the building

[pure garnet]

so the chemical is a solid now

[frank zealot]

booooo

[pure garnet]

[steel stream]

what if it's like hella asbestos or smth I don't want that

risk it for the biscuit!

[cosmic gazelle]

that's literally exactly what i'm doing?

[hoary hatch]

Buy something interesting at least

FX6300 ain't it, chief

[cosmic gazelle]

it is quite interesting as the way you tune it makes or breaks performance

[livid flame]

It’s either a bottle of piss or water

[young void]

Ohh, well

[arctic bronze]

Biscuit for the risk it

[frank zealot]

just to throw a different option out:

It's a bottle of chew spit

[steel stream]

i will let you guys know if I ever find out

[brisk jolt]

[green marsh]

meanwhile me having no offers of any kind on Z87+i5-4670S 😄

[frank zealot]

I don't know why anyone would be shopping for mid tier 12+ year old chips

[maiden prairie]

yeah there is absolutely no reason to do so sadly

[green marsh]

i mean in comparison to FX-6300+970...

[green marsh]

it is still very usable for server-ish duties

[maiden prairie]

I have no idea why anyone would want a fx 6300 too lol

[maiden prairie]

my friend bought a n100 mini pc for 120eur on aliexpress

to use as a server
the 4670s idle power consumption will cost more than the cpu quickly

[hoary hatch]

What do you have it listed at

[pure garnet]

i5 4 what

[green marsh]

literally offered with "offer me" to a small local discord server

[pure garnet]

[green marsh]

and with N100 issue is connectivity, and going from ~10W to ~30W will not eat up that price difference that fast. I mean three x16 slots (x16/x0/x4 or x8/x8/x4) + 8 SATA ports is still usable if you ned more than one NVMe + one SATA

[hoary hatch]

That might be too ambiguous

[steel stream]

[hoary hatch]

You could do $20 or $30 with "OBO"

[hoary hatch]

@mofs ban this

[steel stream]

no they can't ban peak

[green marsh]

probably a bit more because it also comes with 16GB RAM (so more like $30--$40), but yeah, that was my target. To be honest, i just want to get rid of some unused HW i have at home. Hopefully someone will grab the 3900X+X570-F combo too. i might keep the 64GB DDR4 b-die RAM, or try to sell it on german ebay

[pure garnet]

67 jokes keep the server alive

[merry stirrup]

you are overpaying for FX, wait for something with an 8320/50 to show up locally, FX is not fun

if you want i can try to give you my setup but it’s probably gonna be too expensive to ship

but if 40$ is light to you then why not

[rapid dawn]

Can I have it?

[merry stirrup]

something something i need a computer so bad something something

[wheat shore]

is tech source well respected at all?

[cosmic gazelle]

I offered 35 which seems decent enough, any lower than that and it's literally not worth it for the person to ship it to me

as you already stated

[merry stirrup]

yeah FX generally isn’t worth buying online

[cosmic gazelle]

but also 35 for a mobo and cpu to play with is kinda fine idk

[merry stirrup]

the reason i had FX is cause i paid 45$ for an FX computer

[cosmic gazelle]

more fun than like sandy bridge or something

[merry stirrup]

sandy bridge-k is pretty fun

they’re soldered, so with good cooling you don’t become limited by thermal transfer as quick

[cosmic gazelle]

idk I watched the video that one guy posted about how everyone tunes fx wrong and he beat the 3670k or whatever the i5 is of that gen with a 6300

but if you tune it wrong you lose like 25% performance apparently

[merry stirrup]

he’s not entirely wrong but he’s not right

[wheat shore]

fx is only really useful for nas storage

[merry stirrup]

no it’s not

[shell void]

i dont disrespect him because he's one of the OGs, but he's not a technical channel

[merry stirrup]

it draws high power at idle and is moderately expensive for what it is

you can get an i5-2500K for like 7$

[cosmic gazelle]

hardwarehaven got a 6300 system with a dgpu to idle at 40 watts which isnt horrible

but yeah intel would be simpler for the same scenario

[topaz veldt]

I think I lost the silicon lottery on these two 9950X3D2 IMCs

[shell void]

time to buy two more of them and keep the best two

[dapper anvil]

XG27AQDMGR / XG27AQDMG / XG27AQWMG, what should I choose between these monitors?

[merry stirrup]

i think the x3d chips are probably going to have some of the longest usable chip lifespan in recent generations

[cosmic gazelle]

I lowkey just wanted to bin these corsair 2x4 1333 sticks without having to dig out the 4790k system again lol

that's why i was looking at fx because i assumed sandy and ivy wouldn't be that different of an oc experience

[merry stirrup]

binning on FX? oh man

[cosmic gazelle]

i wouldn't expect it to be better but it's new

and new is fun

[merry stirrup]

it is shockingly different. most FX boards are also super basic and don’t give you very much control

like my fx board has 4 mem ratios

[merry stirrup]

1333,1600,1866, and 2400

that’s it

[cosmic gazelle]

the board i put an offer on is on the higher end of 970 boards but not as good as 990 boards so idk if that means it has more control or not

[merry stirrup]

i have a 980 board

[shell void]

yeah 7800X3D and 13900K were both great choices

[merry stirrup]

*970

[shell void]

3+ years later and still nothing available today is a meaningful upgrade

even after zen 6 and nvl come out in early 2027 theyll still be solid cpus

[merry stirrup]

well the cache is going to be relevant forever and e it will probably last longer as a usable gaming chip than the 139K

basically when they’re 150$ the budget people are going to love them

[left spindle]

yea I love my 9950X3D. can run Cities:Skylines 2 and LLM training at the same time no prob.

[pure garnet]

it’d already happening

[shell void]

oh if that's what you mean then yeah

[pure garnet]

the 5800x3d mfs won’t shut up about theirs

[shell void]

people generally don't want used raptor lake at all

[arctic bronze]

Bc they still really good lol

[shell void]

5800X3D came out too late for me to be impressed by it

if it had launched in 2020 alongside the normal ryzen 5000 cpus it wouldve been cool beans

[pure garnet]

i had one for maybe a month

[dapper anvil]

I want the aqwmg SO BAD but I see so many comments about the gray banding/ vertical banding it scares me

[pure garnet]

13700k was faster in catgirl actually

[shell void]

coming out in 2022 at the same time as raptor lake and ryzen 7000 makes it meh because both of those are better than the 5800X3D

[pure garnet]

zen 3 x3d clocks are horrendous

[placid blaze]

Clocks aren't everything

[arctic bronze]

Yeah but they still kicked ass

[pure garnet]

it notably just didn’t in a title where the 9800x3d does

it was cheap though

[shell void]

the humble $140 7500F and dirt cheap DDR5 made the 5800X3D entirely irrelevant

[sharp heart]

god i loved my 7500f

that little thing was a beast

[pure garnet]

my 5800x3d didnt get a fair shot at life because my gigabyte itx board was awful

so i just went to z790 for greener pastures

and then ironically the 13700k died

[cosmic gazelle]

I never had one but wasn't the 5800x3d like super restricted because amd thought it'd blow up if you blew on it too hard

[sharp heart]

• gave you a platform with future upgradability

[shell void]

i think the subpixel layout on the AQDMGR will annoy you more

[arctic bronze]

I used mine for a year then i went am5 to a 7800x3d and then gifted my friend it for free bc he was on a 5900x and that shit sucks ass for gaming

[pure garnet]

you could undervolt it but that's about it without eclk afaik

the 9800x3d is the only one that has any actual levers

[cosmic gazelle]

did undervolting raise all core boost?

[dapper anvil]

Really? Haven’t read about it, what’s with it?

[pure garnet]

no it just let you sit at the higher ratio longer

my 7800x3d hated co but a better one could sit at 5ghz more

[shell void]

AQDMG/R uses the older RWBG subpixel layout that has more obvious text rendering problems than the newer RGWB layout on the AQWMG

i think it'll be annoying on a 1440p panel

[arctic bronze]

Iv seen my 7800x3d hit a peak of 5.01ghz lmao

[pure garnet]

it's fused to never go above 5050mhz without eclk

[shell void]

i would personally take the gamble on an AQWMG and then try something else if i get unlucky with grey banding

[dapper anvil]

Is there no Oled monitor that has no issues at all or do I need to choose the issue that I want haha

[shell void]

there is no flawless display of any kind sadly

[arctic bronze]

I just undervolted my 7800x3d, nothing else bc it works great

[dapper anvil]

Mhm

[shell void]

you just have to pick which compromise(s) you can live with

[arctic bronze]

I dont like tuning

[cosmic gazelle]

Do we think x3d will always raise the cost of the relevant processor (e.g. 9950x vs 3d) or would there be a reason for AMD to just push out 3d vcache in their regular skus at some point

[pure garnet]

this guy got 5.4ghz but this obviously isn't a daily setup

[pure garnet]

there's nothing to really tune on that cpu anyway

[devout ridge]

I mean the pricing is basically Chip, or chip + cost of 3d vcache

[dapper anvil]

What would you recommend out of all the Oled monitors?

[arctic bronze]

I mean in general, i dont tune ram either

[shell void]

PG32UCDM3 and XG32UCWMG are the two best monitors right now in my opinion, but theyre also both very expensive

[pure garnet]

and on that chip it also does like nothing

[shell void]

in the USA the Gigabyte MO27U2 (27" 4K 240Hz QD-OLED) is often $600-630 which is a great deal

[dapper anvil]

Are they 4k?

Oh

[rapid kettle]

same

[devout ridge]

As someone currently using the MO27U2, it's awesome

[arctic bronze]

No its one K, its not kkkk, its just k

[dapper anvil]

I have 9070xt nitro+ with 9800x3d I don’t think 4k is recommended for this build I’m playing competitive fps

how fixable does this sound

[shell void]

i’m done with retro resolutions, i don’t care how high they pump the refresh rate up

[dapper anvil]

If I get this one can I use 2k resolution on it? I’ve heard it will look bad

[nova patrol]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kimani-flight-glasses-flightglasses-SAmW5qk5J7WyY328Xn

[cosmic gazelle]

ah damn switch lite screens are 22 dollars on ali nvm

[young void]

Taking apart handhelds can be alooot of pain but if you wanna, alie express should have screens

[shell void]

if you use FSR4 it’ll look great

if you just set the monitor to 1440p then yes it’ll look bad

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but at the price of the ali screen and the switch it becomes basically the price of any other switch lite lol

didn't know they'd be so much

[young void]

Be like that sometimes

[cosmic gazelle]

somebody's selling a sapphire r9 fury for $35 but it's in pasadena 😭

i want it

[dapper anvil]

Isn’t fsr4 ai based up scaling? I never used before on competitive games

razer soundbar must be shit

[shell void]

yes, and what game(s) do you play?

[frank zealot]

it sure as hell aint' gonna be awesome lol

[shell void]

if they’re competitive oriented then you can probably run them at native 2160p on a 9070XT just fine

[frank zealot]

he needs his 400fps or he can't play

[nova patrol]

razer rgb =fps

[pure garnet]

cs2 with optimized settings i run at native 4k ~400fps
valorant sits at like 800ish if i don't cap it
deadlock runs at like 180-200 @ dlss perf
on my 9800x3d/5070ti

so if it's an esports title you should just be fine without upscaling

[brisk jolt]

till today I still dont understand how michael has his 5090 idle with the XG32UCWMG on valorant unless he capped it at 120 or something

[blazing axle]

Might upgrade my rx 6750 xt but I see alot of discussion where u should get a 7900xtx or a 9070 XT

[dapper anvil]

R6, tarkov, csgo.

[brisk jolt]

9070xt no doubt

[cosmic gazelle]

upscaling basically has no purpose on tarkov as you're cpu bottlenecked anyways, and makes the game look and feel like shit

[frank zealot]

9070 any day of the week, FSR 4 isn't officially supported on 7000 and older cards

[dapper anvil]

So aqwmg is the answer?

i'm just saying fsr on tarkov specifically sucks eggs

[shell void]

there’s no reason to buy a XTX in 2026 unless they’re giving it away for like $200

it’s a power hog with no modern features

[devout ridge]

I'm re-watching HxH right now lol

[nova patrol]

flintlock from fortnite

[blazing axle]

Yeah I guess, its €918 for a 7900 XTX and €690 for a 9070 xt. The 24GB just looked nice to have but I don’t think I’d need that much

[devout ridge]

i'm still waiting for the heatsinks to arrive....

[shell void]

oh god that’s a nobrainer

[devout ridge]

that way i can un-hotrod my 2u

[shell void]

the 9070 is the better gpu and it costs less

[topaz veldt]

Is three 9950X3D2 too many?

[shell void]

no

[topaz veldt]

ok

[devout ridge]

No, you need at least 6-7

i don’t either but everyone else does so it’s in there

as long as i can’t see the digitizer it’s fine

I don't know who actually wants it

anything i need more than 14" 16x10 i would just use a desktop for

[shell void]

@steel stream oh god they’re calling the iPhold the “iPhone Ultra”

iPhold was such an obvious golden name why wouldn’t they do it??

that's the iPhone 18s max ultra pro+ to you

[steel stream]

insane generational fumble

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/who-are-you-huh-offended-what-disgusted-gif-3394637

my only guess is that they just want to keep the "iPhone" branding

[shell void]

they could’ve just said iPhone Fold too

[steel stream]

too similar to Z flip and Z fold

[shell void]

lame

[steel stream]

agreed

iPhold would have been perfect but Tim Cook probs vetoed it

that's the real reason they booted him

[shell void]

cellular connected macbook would be heat

[jaunty horizon]

what's the point

[cosmic gazelle]

for only $6999 ($7999 for the 1tb nvme version)

[steel stream]

why does your phone get cellular

[shell void]

connectivity everywhere without having to use hotspot bullshit

[jaunty horizon]

the hotspot is already convenient enough tho

[cosmic gazelle]

so i can play flappy bird dumbass

[jaunty horizon]

and you don't really use a laptop in the middle of nowhere

[steel stream]

Macbook with cellular would be awesome for road trips when I have to get homework or work done

[frank zealot]

it's razer! obviously it's quality!

[indigo walrus]

Many businesses have use cases where a laptop with its own dedicated modem make more sense than hotspoting a connection from a phone.

[steel stream]

hopefully they bring new design and OLED to the pro lineup

[shell void]

Verizon limits you to 6Mbps after you use 200GB of hotspot and that’s unacceptable if you’re uploading video or project files

[pure garnet]

also the laptop having a modem means your phone isn’t working double time with hotspot

[steel stream]

and I am the pope

[shell void]

and Verizon offers more hotspot than most

[jaunty horizon]

can you not give an example?

[jaunty horizon]

you can always share it using a cable

[pure garnet]

every phone i’ve owned gets hot as hell within like 15 min of hotspot

[pure garnet]

i get 20gb

[frank zealot]

holy shit wirecutter, your two recc'd stick vacuums are 550 or 730USD?

and the "bargain" is nearly 200?

[shell void]

i can’t understand the aversion to an “Ultra” macbook costing a few dollars more to have a cell modem, it’s already going to be expensive and not targeting ordinary people

[indigo walrus]

Field workers, like anyone who repairs equipment in the field. And in general, any IT department that wants to remotely manage their laptop fleet.

[floral spear]

Hey hey y'all

[jaunty horizon]

I wouldn't want a mac for that tbh

[frank zealot]

why

[steel stream]

yeah this will be an awesome laptop for video/photo editors out in the wild I think

[floral spear]

A Mac isn't bad

[jaunty horizon]

cuz they're going to get ruined in a week

[floral spear]

[floral spear]

https://a.co/d/07XoLIO1 hold on this one @shell void

[pure garnet]

driving somewhere with a laptop doesn't mean you're gonna be running it over

[jaunty horizon]

and why would you assume your employees would care about your hardware lol

[cosmic gazelle]

Does no one else think that macbook covers are nasty

[jaunty horizon]

better to just have a device designed with not being nuked the second it falls on the ground

[pure garnet]

you mean like the shell cases? yeah they do nothing but get dirty

[cosmic gazelle]

okay so i'm not crazy

[indigo walrus]

Because they're legally required to as part of their job contracts? You break the equipment we hand out, you get reported to HR...

they're just going to give 10 more macbooks lmao

[pure garnet]

i for some reason doubt that everyone in europe just willingly destroys hardware they're issued

[steel stream]

no they HATE macbooks over there

[indigo walrus]

I don't think this is an EU vs NA thing... This just sounds like a difference in how our companies care about our assets.

no business that's worth a damn is going to just hand out 2K+ Euro laptops like candy.

[pure garnet]

what's youtubes russian fee up to now

[frank zealot]

sure

[steel stream]

everytime I see a macbook I have to restrain myself from tearing it apart

[frank zealot]

I apparently have to restrain myself from putting 2 grains of sand on the keyboard so I can destroy the screen

[shell void]

i wonder how much it would cost to add a macbook to a cell plan

[pure garnet]

chump change

[frank zealot]

it'll be plan dependent, but a lot of carriers do data plans around 40 bucks a month for high-cap/unlimited?

[shell void]

i would hope it wouldn’t cost the same as adding another premium cell plan

[frank zealot]

esp since it'd be bundled with an existing plan on your current phone

[shell void]

i thought carriers offer discounted rates when adding a tablet or other small device

like $10/mo or something

[pure garnet]

i would base pricing off the cost of adding a cellular ipad

[indigo walrus]

Depends on the carrier, plan, and device. Check with yours.

[frank zealot]

it's heavily carrier dependent, but I doubt any offers it for 10 bucks

[steel stream]

i knew that was an issue, but I don't think it's an issue on newer models

[devout ridge]

it's always the people with the least demanding loads that get the best chips

[topaz veldt]

[steel stream]

All I need is Wii Sports + Resort, and then super mario galaxy

[young void]

Ill have to give super Mario galaxy a try at some point I hear good things

[steel stream]

I spent hours play super mario galaxy when I was younger but got skill checked hard

I don't think I ever finished it

[young void]

Mario's all about timing im sure it fallows

[nova patrol]

mario party 9 my beloved

everyone hates it thoo

[young void]

I used to go hard on 7/8 for gamecube/wii and for DS

[nova patrol]

mario party 9 was the first where everyone moves together thats why people disliked it

i really love it for the minigames tho

[steel stream]

I just fuck w mario party in general, jamboree has been pretty fun

[nova patrol]

last mario party i played was super mario party the first one on switch

[young void]

I have so many titles to finish rn

[steel stream]

that one is ok, but I like Jamboree (the most recent one) more

[nova patrol]

havent played the 2 newer ones yet

used to play alot of mario party advanced on my phone emulated

[indigo walrus]

Mario Party 3 on the N64 was the jam back in the day...

[floral spear]

Should I treat myself to some pizza?

[devout ridge]

Yes

[indigo walrus]

Wait... What kind of pizza? 👀

[fervent chasm]

my dad has been asking me to use AI to make ideas for stuff around the house more and more

that hall tree storage and bench dont actually exist irl

[floral spear]

The cheap kids buffet kind

[fervent chasm]

he just sent out the picture asking the guys who did our cabinets how much it would cost

i also used it to make ideas for a balcony extension for one of his clients, he works carpentry

its actually pretty neat, its just he cant use it on his own yet because you need to prompt very detailed and exact wording when its stuff like this

[young void]

If you ever get bored they are pretty affordable these days, shells for most colors are on alie express and a few everdrive variants and affordable mem expansion/memory cards

[late owl]

Samsung buds 4 pro worth it or.nah

200 bucks open box

[nova patrol]

which box do i open

[floral spear]

No

[indigo walrus]

I meant what flavor of pizza. Cheap pizza is still pizza. Unless it's Pizza Hut - that's just grease and bread.

[floral spear]

Probably ronis then some with BBQ chicken

They have all kinds of pizza and pasta for the cheap price of 15 dolla

With unlimited icee and ice cream

[indigo walrus]

Mmm BBQ chimken pizza sounds lovely.

[floral spear]

Yea I need to celebrate this epic dub of 2$ tax refund

[wraith steeple]

[arctic bronze]

Na, that some doodoo pizza, there is a reason why supreme pizza has the name "supreme" 😏

[late owl]

What do u suggest then

[vestal granite]

pepperoni > buffalo chicken > everything else

[arctic bronze]

I announce that your opinion belongs in da dookie flusher

[floral spear]

Supreme pizza is good when its done with love and passion

[indigo walrus]

Because... It has... Bits of clothing on it? 🤔

[arctic bronze]

True, that applies to any pizza tbh

[wraith steeple]

Detroit Deep Dish and NY style pizza are my faves

[floral spear]

As a former domino's employee the Supreme, Deluxe and ExtravaganZZZa can all be done well if its done with passion

[low sorrel]

@indigo walrus speaking of pragmata

[floral spear]

Of course theres supreme and theres the pizza of hatred

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-time-boogie-rock-on-jamming-gif-16020558

[floral spear]

The Pizza of Hatred can kill an old man

[wraith steeple]

And no, Chicago deep dish ain't pizza.... I'm sorry dog it just isn't

[arctic bronze]

You mean the pizza of death?

[wraith steeple]

[indigo walrus]

K but like... The DLSS5 ruined her. Sense is my favorite of all the practitioners.

[floral spear]

No Pizza of Death is mid

[arctic bronze]

How dare

[gentle gale]

hard pass when airpods pro 3 are $200 new with 2 years of applecare+ at costco

[floral spear]

Pizza of Hatred is subtle and is the most terrifying thing a minimum wage employee can ever make

[arctic bronze]

I counter with the trashcan of death

[vestal granite]

whats the difference between airpods pro 2 and airpods pro 3

[floral spear]

It requires 3 Requisites for the Pizza of Hatred to happen

[arctic bronze]

The 2 and 3

[low sorrel]

Better ANC

Different ear tips

[vestal granite]

whats the difference between airpods pro 1 and airpods pro 2

[indigo walrus]

https://www.apple.com/ca/airpods/compare/?modelList=airpods-pro-3,airpods-pro,airpods-4

[gentle gale]

better anc

[low sorrel]

Pro 2 has arguably better sound quality

[gentle gale]

and better sound quality yeah

[low sorrel]

Pro 3 has better find my for the ear buds

[floral spear]

The Pizza of Hatred requires these things:
-The Minimum Wage Employee is miserable/somrthing happened that left them disturbed
-The customer is annoying/bitching to tje employee
-The Customer orders a Pizza with everything on it

[indigo walrus]

According to apples website, there's no such thing as Airpods Pro 1

[floral spear]

Once these criteria are made the Pizza of Hatred shall be made

[low sorrel]

Pro 3 has better battery life in the earbuds but worse with case

[vestal granite]

why didnt they make it better than the pro 2

[low sorrel]

ANC

[vestal granite]

why did the pro 2 not have ANC

[low sorrel]

Worse ANC

[vestal granite]

oh\

why did people use the pro 2 ANC if it was bad

[low sorrel]

And the ear buds have basically an airtag in it

[indigo walrus]

... Because they bought them when they were (still are?) commonly available for sale? 🤔

[low sorrel]

I lost my pro 2 case :(

And I'm not paying 140 for a case from apple

I paid 120 for the airpods on sale

I'm not paying more for the case

[gentle gale]

it’s good what

[vestal granite]

then why it need to be better

[gentle gale]

because there’s always room for improvement

[low sorrel]

That's it no more 60 series

5090 will be king forever

[hoary hatch]

The APP2 had amazing ANC

[frank zealot]

This is stupid cute for a steampc

[hoary hatch]

Apple's ANC quality in such a small earbud in top of the market tbh

[cosmic gazelle]

I wish AI would stop asking me stupid ass follow up questions feigning interest in what I’m asking it

I do not need you to act interested, robot. Answer my question and shut up

[hoary hatch]

Anyways
Steam controller has mushy buttons and is $99

I am conflicted

[cosmic gazelle]

i remember you was conflicted

misusing your influence

sometimes i did the same

[hoary hatch]

I have no influence

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-does-he-know-gif-26833694

[frank zealot]

I don't really play games w controllers, but i'm still curious

[hoary hatch]

There's only a few I play with controllers

Anything with driving, and hades

Although there's always some console ports that just play best with controller

I'll make the final decision next Monday but I'm now leaning towards waiting for steam controller sale or maybe lucky used pricing

[topaz veldt]

big oof

[floral spear]

I remember you were gonna sell your ram to me for like 100$ back then

Goddammit that thing probably costs my whole paycheck

[frank zealot]

What's that worth now? 1200? 1500?

[cosmic gazelle]

$1130 is the cheapest new kit atm

[fervent chasm]

like $700 used

[frank zealot]

that's honestly less terrible than I expected

[fervent chasm]

actually closer to $750 but its not that bad

[floral spear]

Hooray

[shell void]

return of the king

[blazing axle]

What happened to RAM Prices, I bought Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB 6000mhz for €121 now its being sold for €559

Sure that was like 1 and a half year ago but

[frank zealot]

AI Happened

ssame for SSDs and HDDs

[blazing axle]

Oh cool

Well I needed a new 2TB SSD but its like €220

[frank zealot]

that's not the worst price, but oof

[blazing axle]

Yeah I guess idk whats normal prices

But wow RAM isn’t affordable

[frank zealot]

What's normal now? Getting boned by pricetags

[devout ridge]

where have you been for the last like 8 months?

[blazing axle]

Not alive

[smoky orbit]

case prices, maybe

[topaz veldt]

And we got a doa dimm

[frank zealot]

https://slickdeals.net/f/19452300-diypc-diy-matx06-wood-black-usb3-0-type-c-micro-atx-mid-tower-gaming-computer-case-w-tempered-glass-side-panel-and-walnut-wood-front-panel-4-x-pwm-fans-pre-installed-59-35?src=category_page

For an matx build, this is a great price on a decent looking case

[indigo walrus]

Normal prices for a 2TB NVMe SSD should be around $120 CAD or less right now. Unfortunately, we don't live in a normal world so... Please give us your left lung and right arm for this 512GB SSD thank you.

[steel stream]

is this a brand new kit?

[frank zealot]

at least RAM is lifetime warranty.

If they honor it. >.>

[floral spear]

Noooooo @indigo walrus

[indigo walrus]

Welp, you'll have to request then.

[steel stream]

Floppa said he's encountered a couple of dead dimms at his job, I wonder if they've loosened binning standards for the AI boom

[smoky orbit]

ew

[young void]

barnacles

[steel stream]

the request part or the bbq ranch chicken pizza

[smoky orbit]

bbq ranch chimcken pizza

(and request part too, but way less)

[steel stream]

it's some good stuff

it's not what I like to order, but it's pretty good

life's too short to hate on food, order something new everytime you go out to eat

[floral spear]

Turns out its my half birthday so im only paying 7 bucks for this buffet

[smoky orbit]

says the person that clearly doesn't have issues with food textures

[steel stream]

I have issues with some textures

[smoky orbit]

I have issues with most textures qwq

[young void]

I just dont like sticky things

Bothers me immensely I also myte be alittle ocd

[steel stream]

I can't deal with slimy things like raw oysters, but it's been a while so I want to try it again

but you don't get a lot of fresh oysters in michigan

[fringe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/freddy-mercury-baile-dance-perform-gif-12451178

[young void]

Thats valid, I know growing up here in Oregon in Florence my friends parents used to fry them up. We'd go pickem fresh that mornin

[steel stream]

I've also been meaning to eat more fish when I go out, I order a lot of chicken or beef

[pure garnet]

long john silvers

[steel stream]

i'd rather go to A+ crab

[pure garnet]

visit the unholy land

[steel stream]

just got a 2.5 in one of my classes (it was a CS course so it's ok)

I got food poisoning last year I don't need to do it again

[hoary hatch]

There's a combination LJS/Taco Bell near the fab

[steel stream]

the "shit yo brains" out deluxe

[hoary hatch]

I've never had the LJS portion of it

Actually I've never had LJS period

[steel stream]

same

[green marsh]

i would rather go with A3-mATX, that side front panel looks horrible to me

$90, looks much better (imo)

[frank zealot]

it doesn't really bother me, and in most setups, could be beneficial to a lot of people

I've built in the A3, it's nice

[floral spear]

I uze a lian li Lancool 216

The one with the weird fan on the bottom

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup seller accepted my $35 offer for a 4gb ram stick, the 970 ud3p, and the 6300 because I forgot to retract it after we talked about it lol

pretty nice looking motherboard so I can't be that mad about it

[frank zealot]

I remember when PCI was on board lol

[smoky orbit]

35 for the lot or for just the stick?

[cosmic gazelle]

the lot

[smoky orbit]

(ngl, very useful on older systems (even to this day) that have both pci and pcie)

[smoky orbit]

ohhh, that's a good-ish deal

[topaz veldt]

nope

[frank zealot]

Outside of retro? Nobody cares.

(and a few very very edge cases)

[green marsh]

9th gen board with ISA

[steel stream]

weird

[frank zealot]

the fuck kinda edge case is using 90's ISA shit still?

[green marsh]

ask DFI https://www.dfi.com/product/index/1502

[frank zealot]

like I imagine they sold a whole 20 of those.

[smoky orbit]

When you run out of pcie slots on an older xeon mobo, it's really useful to add serial ports on other stuff like that (quite a common platform for home servers)

[pure garnet]

i may have sent some sparks through a pci port before

[topaz veldt]

Yeah messaged the seller

[frank zealot]

.... serial? Who cares about serial?

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream thru paypal so not worried

[pure garnet]

i forgot pci and pcie weren't electrically compatible and booted a system with a pcie wifi card in a pci slot

[frank zealot]

also: PCIE x1 Serial cards exist

[smoky orbit]

I do

[frank zealot]

that'd be exciting for a split second

[pure garnet]

the system lived actually, some protection kicked in

had to pull the cmos and let it drain power but it works fine after

[smoky orbit]

yes, but useless when you run out of pcie lanews

[pure garnet]

we use serial at work on the cnc machines but 99% of people just buy an external motion controller

[frank zealot]

usb to serial also exists

[frank zealot]

holy edge case batman!

[pure garnet]

ethernet is what the controllers use now

[green marsh]

startech

[smoky orbit]

when you already have the pci card, you'll just use the pci card instead of having to go through the whole buying process

[young void]

Startech makes decent stoofs for their usecases

[pure garnet]

oh no we use even more dinosaur, it's parallel not serial

[frank zealot]

that's some weird industrial use nonsense.

[smoky orbit]

urm actually that's not ethernet, that's a twisted pair cables with an rj45 connector

[pure garnet]

yeah i am edge case nonsense

[frank zealot]

the 12V screwdowns are only for industrial bullshit

[pure garnet]

tell that to warp9

[smoky orbit]

damn, they are dumbasses

[pure garnet]

i mean the board has a local network so
