[low sorrel]

Xe3 is celestial right

[shell void]

Xe3p is what wouldve been used for an Arc C770 if it were to exist

[random flame]

Technically they still are. It's where they are trying to go with stuff at times that makes things stupid.

[vestal granite]

thing about the good old days of Intel is that you never really knew when we were in them u know

[low sorrel]

When are they gonna bring my boy pat gelsinger back

[vestal granite]

whats he up to these days

[shell void]

were they really good days, or was amd just so terrible that we tolerated intel having modest upgrades every couple of years?

[low sorrel]

This ig

https://www.theinformation.com/articles/ai-christianity-mix-pat-gelsinger-gloo-holdings-sure-think

[vestal granite]

hes probably in palm beach sipping vodka martinis hold the martini hold the glass leave the bottle

[shell void]

palm beach pat

it seems like he mainly goes around doing speeches and interviews nowadays

[vestal granite]

oh hes doing religion-slop now

[devout ridge]

new macbook ordered

[shell void]

[low sorrel]

Yep I guess

[cosmic gazelle]

48gb ram

[devout ridge]

yessir

[cosmic gazelle]

bro dropped 10 racks on a laptop

[shell void]

ooh that's clean sir

[devout ridge]

2.2kusd after the trade in and education discount

[shell void]

are you going to do LLM stuff? 48GB is serious

[devout ridge]

nah, vectorworks guzzles ram

[cosmic gazelle]

huh????? what was the value of your trade in?

[devout ridge]

420usd

that spec is 2.8kusd with no trade in or discount

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s a crazy deal for the hardware as a certified macos hater

[low sorrel]

It's only a m5 pro

[shell void]

oh 3D okay nice

[devout ridge]

upgraded m5 pro

[low sorrel]

Y no m5 max

[devout ridge]

about 2x the single core and 5x the mc performance as compared to my M3 MBA 13in base spec

[devout ridge]

starts at 3300usd

i was already really pushing my budget with that spec

[low sorrel]

The more you buy the more you save

[shell void]

oh going from a throttled 8GB M3 to a 48GB M5 Pro is going to be a monumental upgrade

[devout ridge]

mhm

[shell void]

not to mention the far better display

[cosmic gazelle]

2x sc in what

[devout ridge]

Yeah, it’s gonna be a wild upgrade

[devout ridge]

geekbench

[cosmic gazelle]

passmark says 27% lol but passmark also sucks so idk

[devout ridge]

i’m like 80% sure it’s 2x in SC

also a cool 6x the ram and 4x the ssd space

[devout ridge]

finally i can run vectorworks above potato settings

[cosmic gazelle]

that mc upgrade is pretty insane ngl

[shell void]

and without a 60Hz slop display xD

[devout ridge]

passmark apparently doesn’t consider the model, even though that matters a lot

an m3 in the mbp is not the same as the m3 in the mba

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but single core is single core lol

[devout ridge]

not really

[shell void]

the m5 throttles so hard in the 13" air that i dont even know why the model exists

[devout ridge]

it still makes a decent difference

[shell void]

i think they should just get rid of the 13" air because most of its userbase will be buying the neo instead

[devout ridge]

cause people will but it anyways

[whole coral]

Think my mom has the M3 MacBook Air

[devout ridge]

honestly if they sold a neo plus with a 15in screen they’d cannibalize the entirety of the mba user base

[whole coral]

Not totally sure but it’s good in her experience

[cosmic gazelle]

my gf bought an m4 and i totally would have had her get a neo had i known

[fervent chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/iroh-my-beloved-beloved-heart-avatar-the-last-airbender-gif-27121731

[devout ridge]

the moment i see the red heart i know what it’s gonna be

[shell void]

if you know why the M5 is more powerful than the A18/A19, and you want it for that reason then you probably arent buying a base model 13" macbook air anyway

[devout ridge]

Yeah

[shell void]

because it costs twice as much as the Neo and is a similar overall experience for basic tasks

[devout ridge]

like 90% of people buy the 13in MBA because it’s the cheapest macbook

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m curious if the performance scaling still makes the air a better value

[devout ridge]

i didn’t trade the laptop in at the store, so i’ll be able to do the direct transfer thing

[shell void]

no it's terrible

[cosmic gazelle]

hmm yeah idk then

[devout ridge]

600usd MBN vs 1100usd MBA, MBA just doesn’t compete

[shell void]

if you actually care about performance and display then youre going to pay a couple hundred more for a pro

[devout ridge]

sure it’s more performant, but for the vast majority of people buying the 13in mba or the mbn, they wouldn’t even notice

Got to experience the MBN in person for the first time

i must say, the build quality is mind boggling for the price point

[shell void]

case in point

[devout ridge]

not a fan of the mechanical trackpad, but i can’t really complain when it’s a 600usd laptop with an all aluminum chassis

[steel stream]

I might upgrade laptops this summer ngl

but I also want 3 new heaphones + NVL

decisions decisions

[fervent chasm]

For a very long time, I remember when I was still a kid, MacBooks were way overpriced for the stuff inside of them, but these days it’s way better valued

[shell void]

$499 Mac Mini and Macbook Neo are crazy value

[shell void]

three headphones? O_O

[steel stream]

I want Meze 109 pro + Sennheiser HD660S2, and I'm picking up an AKG pair (for real cheap) because I got an internship for their parent company this summer

the 109 pro + 660S2 will be the bulk of the money lol

the AKGs are like 100

[fervent chasm]

NVL is nova lake?

Or am I just thinking too much about Intel

[shell void]

oh i see

those are all solid headphones so i cant complain, although im happy with one daily driver

[shell void]

yessir it is

[fervent chasm]

Can’t wait for 52 core consumer cpu

[hoary hatch]

Yeah, not a family product, but GPU IP nonetheless

[shell void]

if they choose to not launch the 52 core model at the last minute then im not buying NVL at all because theyll have pissed me off

[steel stream]

yeah I'm looking forward to 109 pro the most, I just want a high impedance pair again. I've been really into headphones lately so I want a collection, trying to expand music taste as well.

[fervent chasm]

I wonder how it will be for next gen after NVL since I read somewhere Intel were looking back at HT?

[hoary hatch]

I expect crescent Island will demolish ponte vecchio and falcon shores (did that even release?) sales

[steel stream]

My Anandas are good, but they are not the comfiest for me, and the treble is a little harsh, good for gaming though

[steel stream]

enterprise only

[shell void]

when LipBuTan said that what he meant was that hyperthreading is coming back to Xeon in a few years

as far as ive heard it's not returning to the hybrid architecture consumer CPUs

[fervent chasm]

Ah, boo

How many generations for Xeon were without HT?

I know 2nd gen scalable still had it, but no clue when it stopped

[shell void]

to be specific what he said was it's coming back in "Coral Rapids" which is the successor to "Diamond Rapids", and Diamond Rapids is now scheduled for a mid 2027 ramp so it's a few years away still

[shell void]

current gen (Granite Rapids) still has Hyperthreading
next gen (Diamond Rapids) does not have Hyperthreading
next-next gen (Coral Rapids) is bringing back Hyperthreading

[fervent chasm]

Oh, so it’s just a single gen skip

[shell void]

the original plan for Coral Rapids did not include Hyperthreading, but Lip told them to add it back

[hoary hatch]

At the moment it's only sierra forest that lacks HT in Xeon land

CWF won't have it either

[shell void]

it's not coming back to Ecore Xeons afaik

[hoary hatch]

Both E core designs

[shell void]

only the Pcore Xeons which are the Rapids that i mentioned

[hoary hatch]

Well E core xeons never had them to begin with

[shell void]

Knight's Landing had quad SMT xD

[hoary hatch]

Is that even in the architecture lineage

[shell void]

it's Xeon branded as "Xeon Phi" but idk what the practical application for it was

[fervent chasm]

I just want to get an R940 for cheap

[devout ridge]

goodluck with that

[hoary hatch]

Okay so knights landing used silvermont with 4-way smt and avx512 bastardized onto each core

[fervent chasm]

There’s one in the EU for only $500 but I don’t think it’s worth it if I pay shipping

[devout ridge]

probably 100-200 in shipping

still pretty worth it imo

[fervent chasm]

which basically puts it at the lowest price you can find here 😢

[hoary hatch]

Silvermont -> knights landing
Goldmont
Tremont
Gracemont
Crestmont
Skymont
Darkmont
Arctic Wolf

[shell void]

it's so silly but it's interesting to look back on

[shell void]

though this is changing soon too

there is a "Diamond Rapids HD" (presumably High Density) which offers up to 512 Efficiency Cores per socket

[fervent chasm]

Why didn’t ecores have HT on the consumer CPUs?

[devout ridge]

no point

[steel stream]

this is practically NSFW content

512 is insane

[hoary hatch]

Original positioned to compete with arm in mobile
It just wasn't needed

[fervent chasm]

How much did that one arm cpu have? 256?

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/howling-our-living-world-cry-shout-wolf-gif-2600452429554792787

[steel stream]

it's also just due to density right?

[hoary hatch]

I'm hoping Arctic wolf is the start of a new line of e core that will be the basis of Intel unified core

[shell void]

according to intel it costs around 5-10% extra die space per core to implement SMT so it's not a big deal

[hoary hatch]

E stands for cost efficiency

[shell void]

i think it wouldve been mainly a scheduling complication and thermal concern

[hoary hatch]

Economical! That's the word I was looking for

They're economical cores, not efficiency cores

[shell void]

die space efficiency 👍

[fervent chasm]

I can’t wait to see how many cores we will see in consumer CPUs when I’m like 40

If we don’t have 1k cores then I will be sad

[steel stream]

yeah it's gotta be some sort of big behind the scenes change

[fervent chasm]

Windows 69

[shell void]

15 years of messing with P+E designs only to end up back with a single unified core design that Apple would probably call a P core

[fervent chasm]

Why are the 285Ks still selling for so much when the 270K plus is similar performance and much cheaper

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/idk-egg-man-i-dont-know-smile-not-sure-gif-25766015

[steel stream]

me caveman, me think bigger number = better

[shell void]

flagship skus hold silly value for whatever reason

even though the 270K is better than the 285K if you run it stock

[fervent chasm]

Literally I’m seeing $599.99 purchases on eBay lol

[fervent chasm]

I’m thinking about selling mine after what people have been saying to just get the 270k plus

[steel stream]

do it

[fervent chasm]

And then when NVL comes out I’ll sell that and the board

[steel stream]

if you can get $600-550 for it, it's a no brainer

[shell void]

you have a 285k?

[fervent chasm]

I do

[shell void]

if you can get a good price for it then swapping to a 270K is basically free money

[fervent chasm]

I got it before the release of the 270k plus, or the leaks

[shell void]

it's the same CPU with faster ring + d2d clock out of the box

[fervent chasm]

Yah that’s why I was thinking about it, I already got the 285k for only $350 or something like that

It was $550 for the cpu mobo and aio

[steel stream]

sell that ASAP rocky

[fervent chasm]

I want to, I will have to get the 270k plus first

I need my pc to work rn

Do the refresh have any changes to IMC?

[shell void]

tbh selling the 285K and downgrading to a 250K+ temporarily would be even more based

[steel stream]

IMC is a little stronger I think

[shell void]

even more money back in your pocket, and 6p12e is perfectly cromulent to temporarily use

[steel stream]

I think it supports a higher jedec standard

[shell void]

270K is physically identical to the 285K

theyre just certifying it for 2x1r 7200MT/s Jedec OOTB

[fervent chasm]

I was thinking my 285k was just unlucky, since it couldn’t even do 4500 for the 4x48 while my 13900kf could do 5400

[shell void]

that's unusual

the memory controllers in arrow lake are wayyyyy better than raptor lake

[fervent chasm]

Ik, that’s why I was confused

I went at it for a week and gave up

The board is much better too I’m pretty sure, the one I had for the 13900kf was a shitter board

So either my 13900kf was lucky or the 285k was unlucky

[shell void]

IIRC the official spec for 4x2r on Arrow Lake was 4400MT/s but i could be wrong

[shell void]

it's 3600 on Ryzen and like 2000 on a 13900K xD

[fervent chasm]

[fervent chasm]

Well, the 4x48 doesn’t matter if NWR fixes the 2x64

[steel stream]

[fervent chasm]

So I hope they can fix it

[brave panther]

[fervent chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/mister-electric-send-him-principals-gif-24418029

so basically "please don't run this" spec on a 13900K

youre better off running 4x32GB DDR4

[brave panther]

did you already send it or are you still waiting?

[fervent chasm]

Waiting

But the wait is almost over

I’ve been waiting since start of January

[brave panther]

when queue is at zero you send it?

[fervent chasm]

They email me

And then I send it over to them

$50 if they don’t fix it, $150 if they fix it

Good price

I’m sure I can maybe get $100 on eBay just for it broken

[fervent chasm]

I think it’s an easy fix though, I saw some missing somethings, capacitors, transistors, idk

im surprised this guy isnt flooded with hatemail and negative youtube videos because he more or less scammed thousands of people

[steel stream]

nah but good production value frees him from hate

[fervent chasm]

Dude realized how much it will cost to actually produce and ship out and just stopped

[pure garnet]

It’s pretty sad, ever since finished school there they switched over to a new teacher who doesn’t know jack about computers

He teaches coding classes but he didn’t know how to code

So if a student asks for help he tells them to Google it

They moved the old computer teacher to woodworking lol

[steel stream]

old teacher def just wanted an easy job where he can woodwork all day lol

[merry stirrup]

computer and managed cables

built this one which is why there’s photo

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/very-nice-impressive-gif-13646207769991612852

[steel stream]

ah damn

poor dude

[fervent chasm]

He was literally getting Cisco certs while teaching us, definitely feel bad he lost his favorite part

[steel stream]

hmmm I wonder what sku that card is. Great looking PC though, I like the mesh in the top right

[merry stirrup]

yeah for our standard pc it looks nice

[fervent chasm]

He does partially work for the Air Force rn with drones or something, so that’s cool

[steel stream]

damn, maybe he was the only dude with woodworking experience and just shipped him off there

[fervent chasm]

I say partially because he’s part of it but he teaches rn, but apparently he’s going somewhere for the Air Force soon

And he won’t be teaching anymore

[fervent chasm]

Actually I think that’s what it was, the previous one retired idk how I forgot about that

[steel stream]

I wonder if that's a 5070 Ti hmm

[steel stream]

ah got it

[fervent chasm]

He’s way younger than it might seem though

I think mid 30s

I made him sound old

[radiant egret]

probs a reservist they are common for people who dont wanna do active anymore but want the benefits

Unless hes a contractor then thats a diff story

[fervent chasm]

Yah idk, I just remember after I finished high school my friend who still went told me he joined the Air Force

It’s on his Linked in also

[radiant egret]

its a good foot in the door for IT if you go a IT related job in the military

You get certs, skills, and money

[fervent chasm]

Oh wait no, it’s the Air National Guard

[radiant egret]

ah same difference lol

[fervent chasm]

Yah dude does so much

[merry stirrup]

i can’t tell hmmmm

[fervent chasm]

He’s an assistant football coach, teaches networking/woodworking (now), and in the national guard

[radiant egret]

Yea man doing alot keeps you healthy and if u like what you do its fun too

[fervent chasm]

Ah I found it, “Cyber Network Operations”

But he did say something about drones once

[radiant egret]

he would be working in the cyber field, it can cross into drones and stuff too thats probs what he woulda talked abt

[fervent chasm]

Hopefully he can help me find some kind of job, I basically taught his class for him

He had me write the labs and test them, and for it I would get passing grades

Cause I hated doing homework

[radiant egret]

Military always hiring 🤣

[fervent chasm]

No thanks haha

Maybe if you told me before Covid

But I let myself go after Covid happened

[radiant egret]

Do u got any IT related experience?

if so you could go be a contractor for the gov

[fervent chasm]

Not commercially

[radiant egret]

or u can attempt to fight in the job market for entry to mid level positions

[fervent chasm]

Yah my other friend works at a high school as a computer tech dude

He said it’s easy work for the money

[radiant egret]

yea bro teaching IT besides like professional classes like a uni requires like basic knowledge

[steel stream]

as long as you get a school that doesn't shove pencils into their USB ports

Someone snuck in a tree and planted it in the toilet

Like a tiny one

[steel stream]

that's pretty good

Apparently the school searched for the 4th chicken for a while

[steel stream]

oh that's gold

oohoohoohoo found another reason why i fuckin hate linux

[fervent chasm]

I got so much good memories, I’m so glad I went to public school

[steel stream]

I went to public, sadly no chickens were released

[fervent chasm]

I was trying to remember what it was, some kids would take paperclips and separate the 2 ends and just start digging the in the USB ports

[vestal granite]

wifi nic stuck at 20mbps download/1200ms download latency, i plug in my phone and USB tether its wifi connection to the laptop, immediately back up to my expected 300-400mbps download over the wifi

explain that, scientists

[steel stream]

what do you even do with the chickens when you catch them

[steel stream]

you forgot to run the 10 terminal commands to get your stuff working duh /s

grogu krokini said its a firmware so i did that then it was like Aha! So it must be IPv6 so i disabled that and then it was like Yes, I know what the problem is! You need to add this dogshit to a random .conf file. then that did nothing after a few reboots and such and then i find a google github page where someone was like yeah it was actually cause on this revision of intel nics you need to run this firmware version so its aggregator doohickey thingamajig worky derky better

[vestal granite]

on one laptop that i have next to my bed to watch my shows before sleep

[steel stream]

ah got it

would you fuck with a refurbished iPad instead or nah

just a suggestion

[vestal granite]

no i like laptop it is like an ipad but better

because its a yoga thinkpad so it does ipad things

[steel stream]

ah ok

I've got a linux dual boot on my laptop and everytime I have to use it, it's upsetting

[vestal granite]

linux is upsetting by default but dual boot thats dual upsetting

[steel stream]

im in windows 99.99% of the time

the linux is to grab VPN keys every once in a blue moon

and ocassional messing around

[shell void]

icl i havent tried using linux on a personal computer since my 32bit laptop eons ago

i installed linux mint 32bit (i dont remember the version) with a dvd

[vestal granite]

dont even get me started with vpns fuck vpns on linux truly how do criminals deal with this shit its so bad

[steel stream]

I just need the keys for TrueNas lol

[steel stream]

it hasn't gotten better don't bother

[shell void]

it seeems like all i would have to give up nowadays are my OBS VST plugins

well and that nvidia gpus perform like shit in linux gaming but i dont really play games

[vestal granite]

im so glad that wireguard has a folder for its configuration files so that programs can access the different server configs! except it requires root to access any of the config files so all vpn applications just make 1 wireguard config and then rewrite it everytime you change settings so that feature is completely useless to everybody

and then it kills you in the face randomly for fun just your face? killed.

[steel stream]

that's awesome

[vestal granite]

connection closed sorry. face = evaporated

no logs, just connection closed

disconnected, perhaps

you check what happened it says yeah looks like there was a problem

ffs why is it sideways

whatever

[steel stream]

finish the bottle tn

[frank zealot]

Do not

[turbid locust]

this shit was $90. This is sipping bourbon category.

[devout ridge]

i hate early morning flights

i get to sleep for a whopping 4 hours then wake up to go to the airport

[frank zealot]

Oof

Flight long enough to nap?

[devout ridge]

1 hour 40 minutes

[frank zealot]

Nope

[devout ridge]

plenty to get a good nap in, but idk if i’ll be able to

[steel stream]

coward

[devout ridge]

i only ever sleep well in a proper bed

or on the floor sprawled out like a maniac

[steel stream]

no one sleeps well on a plane, you sleep on a plane because there is nothing to do

[frank zealot]

Dude that's good bourbon, you don't chug it

[devout ridge]

true

[steel stream]

coward

enjoy your bourbon but whatever

[devout ridge]

i hate travel anxiety, i logically know everything is kosher, but the emotional part of my brain didn’t get the memo

[frank zealot]

I have finished off a bottle in a night before. I've done it w vodka and tequila before. Not good bourbon

[devout ridge]

you gotta savor good bourbon

[steel stream]

I used to fly a lot, im fine with sleeping on planes, but I only get one sleep. So I either sleep for an hour and sit for 7, or sleep the whole way through

[devout ridge]

been years since i last was on a plane

[frank zealot]

It's travel you're not in any form of control over

[devout ridge]

yeah, that’s definitely my issue

anyways lemme go sleep my four hours

[frank zealot]

Night

[frank zealot]

Still waiting for a review

[turbid locust]

Just poured myself an oz one moment

hmmmmm ok I get it I get it

Quite flavorful

First impressions are solid but I will have to try it chilled for a full opinion

its amusing how intc rn is at 94.7 whilst the post market is quite literally nearin 98

[indigo walrus]

So... should I sell now, or continue holding? 🤔

[teal kite]

Love this app…

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate ok i know im limited by wifi but at least the download speed I get on pc is 50% faster xd

[brisk jolt]

i’d sell when it reaches 100
or just hold if ur somehow not worried about it being 99% air 1% chicken
but ffs I sold 52 man this is big regret

[trim agate]

My wifi is faster than your wifi 💔

[floral spear]

Im bad at this wheel business

[brisk jolt]

im 3 business days away from the router so like

[indigo walrus]

Granted, mine is tied up in INTC (CAD Hedged) because I don't like to hold Stonks in USD if I can help it. Tax reasons. But... yeah I'ma think I'm just gonna keep holding until it hits the moon.

[trim agate]

[trim agate]

I’d bet on it

[hoary hatch]

Excuse me

[trim agate]

Hi

[hoary hatch]

What's a business centimeter compared to a consumer centimeter

[trim agate]

I used a company issued ruler

[hoary hatch]

Do Enterprise and industrial centimeters exist

Aviation grade centimeters?

[trim agate]

Idk I haven’t been given an enterprise grade ruler yet

[hoary hatch]

I have a Proart grade ruler

[trim agate]

I don’t speak on topics I’m uneducated on sorry

[trim agate]

This is not a real thing I haven’t seen it

[hoary hatch]

I stole it from my roommate

The z790 Proart was nicer than the z690 Proart 😭

His z790 had bonus ruler, GPU release button, and higher PCIe rev on the lowest slot

Makes my z690 Proart look temu grade

[trim agate]

I don’t believe it I haven’t seen a ProArt grade ruler

[brisk jolt]

i need to spend another $200 on a tplink router for again, wireless backhaul

im gonna sell the be58u for like 50 bucks

[flat swallow]

YES

I can finally play roblox😭

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate do i grab a hb710 or a hb810

[trim agate]

probably a hb710

whats your router again?

[brisk jolt]

be832 i think

[wraith steeple]

[green marsh]

what's up with liquids in plastic bags in certain parts of the world ?

[brisk jolt]

its how people takeaway drinks

[dense granite]

OH

That makes sense as long as the bags aren't terrible.

[devout ridge]

cheaper to ship large quantities of them, and requires less plastic for a given volume

[topaz veldt]

I think its lunacy

[brisk jolt]

nah its pretty common in asia

you can also hang since it has the plastic strips thats tied

also easier to handle hot drinks since you also take it that way

[bold robin]

Anyone can recommend me a laptop under 600 pounds? Need it for Excel and would like it to be durable and reliable, would prefer windows as Mac's version of Excel is a bit limited

[late atlas]

It's cool

I've seen it in Hungary and Canada as well

we don't have it here in the UK obviously but I preferred my milk in a plastic bag

Milk for me is best in a plastic bag or one of those fancy glass bottles you get them in from a farm

I think they taste better but it might just be a placebo thing

[devout ridge]

the airpods pro’s noise cancelling really struggles with blocking out loud voices

[trim agate]

u might be cooked

meshes compatible with that are expensive iirc

[frail beacon]

Maybe a ThinkPad with snapdragon? If your primary purpose is office, you'll get better battery life with the snapdragon processors for that price.

[bold robin]

are thinkbooks ok

[placid blaze]

think PAD

very important

get a used one

[frail beacon]

My understanding is that ThinkPads are much better than the others especially when it comes to being "durable"

[brisk jolt]

its either the hb710 or hb810

[trim agate]

50/50 chance it works as intended

idk if 6ghz is gonna work properly

on hte hb710 at least

[devout ridge]

plane wifi so good the speedtest doesn’t even connect

[smoky orbit]

Looks yummy

[smoky orbit]

(Our milk is in bags and it’s really useful)

[green marsh]

we don't talk about prepackaged milk in bags. i mean serving to customers in plastic bags instead of a cup

[smoky orbit]

Ohhhh okiii

https://www.threads.com/@mr_avery_official/post/DXvzowrjGO2?xmt=AQF03hLHUvPO8GiRjVNdCV6LvCR-ckvtUjsh4kpBUiV0D0ynZH43WKq5lWgS1O1Vqb8cXScD&slof=1

[green marsh]

like want a soup ? Here is it in a plastic bag

[livid flame]

What the fuck is that

Looks less like soup and more like the abbatoir threw some animal limbs in water

[smoky orbit]

Looks yummy

[brisk jolt]

we also store soup in plastic bags like that secured super tight

but yeah that looks like a fuckin lab experiment

[minor herald]

that what soup is

[strange ginkgo]

I'm sure where they do it it's a practical solution but hell no i don't want that here

[shell void]

gleep in gloop soup

[vestal granite]

easier to store single portions of stuff

or short-term portions

like milk in a bag they can split a gallon up into 4 quarts and you only open one quart at a time so u dont have to go through a whole gallon of milk so quickly

[rapid kettle]

it's still plastic tho

[vestal granite]

everythings plastic

milk jug is plastic too

[rapid kettle]

we dont really have that

[vestal granite]

ok

[rapid kettle]

cant you just buy... 4 of a smaller portion?

[vestal granite]

yeah the milk bags come as 4 smaller portions

the bag IS the smaller portion, you can buy just 1 bag if u want

[rapid kettle]

ah aight

[vestal granite]

and then functionally its the same except its easier to store a bag if u arent gonna use it immediately

[rapid kettle]

just an odd concept as i've never seen them in my life

[shell void]

@whole coral did you see that T-Mobile co-owns GoNetSpeed now?

seems like a bad thing to me because T-mobile loves to lock down equipment and force cgnat, but we’ll see

[devout ridge]

bouta give my pilot a 3 star review on yelp, landing was pretty rough

[vestal granite]

yeah pilot has gone downhill recently tbh i think caseys is better

oh pilot like planes

[devout ridge]

Yeah

Bro has one job, and he can’t even land properly

[vestal granite]

if u have time to complain about the landing it mustve been good

[devout ridge]

It was good enough for me to be alive

[vestal granite]

a good landing is one that doesnt hit a firetruck

[devout ridge]

that’s the bare minimum landing

[vestal granite]

just tell the airline there was some loud screeching noise when it was landing and it scared you and they should inspect the plane

and then you get maybe no annual fee on delta american airlines frontier credit card!

[devout ridge]

i appear to have landed in Hell

[shell void]

a bit warm init

[frail beacon]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

[strange ginkgo]

after a quick conversion i agree thats outside of my prefered temperature range

[civic reef]

I read that in WT!!

[civic reef]

Atp you might aswell put salt & pepper on yourself

[odd sable]

like, hard impact, or?

FWIW, landing hard is technically safer, harder landing means the tires have more traction immediately.

particularly for wet landings, it helps avoid any hydroplaning

[civic reef]

Boooring
Land without gears, quickest to a full stop

Plus the repair & rearm time is only 30 seconds

[whole coral]

Yes

T-Mobile phone plan with T-Fiber would be sick. Convergence

[trim agate]

you can get like 50 of these for $5 and it's way cheaper than buying cups, and it's a lot easier to store these bags rather than finding a space in your already limited area to store cups

[brisk jolt]

do i go for the hb710 or 810 hmm

[trim agate]

i think 810 is more compatible

[brisk jolt]

i see that its generally stronger

[trim agate]

its also more expensive

[brisk jolt]

its like…. $150 vs $250

[shell void]

at first i read this as “Bazzite reaches 44 desktop users”

and i was a little amused

[trim agate]

oh that is a big difference

you should do research and make they're compatible with your be832

[shell void]

sonion nobody wants 8K pathtraced resource packed grow a garden

idk why they think this will be well received

almost all of the popular roblox games are low poly and low effort visuals with addictive gameplay loops

nobody plays roblox for graphics

[brisk jolt]

i see the hb810 has a better 5ghz band and antenna design

[trim agate]

it needs to be able to have the mesh thing with the be832

all the extra bands and whatever doesn't matter if it's not compatible

[brisk jolt]

yeah according to AI (gemini) it should via the easymesh function on the app

[rapid kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/nfts-metaverse-gif-24477490

[trim agate]

investing $250 into gemini 😂

but fuck it go for it

[brisk jolt]

nvm it just reco’d the hb710 since my router 5ghz band is the same as it

[steel stream]

13 year olds bout to go crazy

[fervent chasm]

my first thought was how safe is that for kids, its probably gonna be limited to like older kids or something

actually knowing roblox, its probably not gonna be limited at all

[trim agate]

your router doesnt have 6ghz?

[topaz veldt]

LOL @low sorrel poor guy - a raider was down crawling along w/ survivor in blue gate and a comet was like 30 ft from him. I am on a call so I can't hear audio.

[trim agate]

ah

[fervent chasm]

games like this, it doesnt look bad of an idea

this is actually crazy for a roblox game engine

[rapid kettle]

the roblox engine been crazy lets be real

[fervent chasm]

theyve already had really good progress with the roblox engine

[steel stream]

not everything has to be super high fidelity or great visuals

[rapid kettle]

i remember when they made csgo entirely in roblox back then and it was crazy

[fervent chasm]

of crouse not, but its enough of a request from devs that roblox adds it

like this is a pretty old "realistic" game

that shows off good quality games were possible in roblox, I remember when it came out

so it will be interesting to see how this new stuff does

[shell void]

we should’ve never moved on from R6 character models

This was from 2018

[shell void]

show me the performance overlay while you’re in the shooting range

[shell void]

your gpu utilization is way higher than mine

[shell void]

i use:
high textures and ui quality
anti aliasing disabled
anisotropic 16x
clarity and sharpening disabled

[brisk jolt]

rn its between 80-90

[shell void]

what did the gpu utilization drop to? i see less than 10% in the shooting range with these and a 224fps limit

[brisk jolt]

20

[cosmic gazelle]

the marketplace gpu fields are ripe for the pickin today

i think i got a guy on the hook for a $25 1050 ti

[shell void]

you made sure to disable anti-aliasing, clarity, and sharpening right? i’m not sure why your gpu util would be twice as high

[brisk jolt]

yeah

[trim agate]

OMG VALORANT

[brisk jolt]

yeah whatever i give up on closing the gap lol

[keen wigeon]

aww poor bastard

like the game, just wish there was a pve or pvp lite mode. I'm too damn old to deal with the squeakers who can twitch shot me

Just running around doing what I do and some 12 year old with inattentive parents goes full squeak battle cry and domeshots me before I know what is going on.

by pvp lite I mean flag/unflag for pvp. even if my loot has a lower overall quality or rng penalty

[frank zealot]

@steel stream get one of these

[pure garnet]

odd question to ask

[fervent chasm]

It’s not, a lot of people complain about the “message blocked” that piles up

If someone that is blocked chats often in the same place as you

I don’t have that issue, but seems like a lot of people do

I don’t think I’ve ever had to block someone that wasn’t a scammer

[pure garnet]

you have to be a special form of annoying to get blocked since the boxes take up space too

[edgy laurel]

is that a good price?

[frank zealot]

if it's a monitor that fits your specific work, it seems like it is. (But the 60hz means it's not "gamery" for most of us)

[livid flame]

Isn’t that just 1440p upscaled?

and a not unreasonable io panel:

I've seen better IO, but honestly that's pretty much fine for most uses

I am curious why 2x 3.2 ports are red, while 3 are blue

[pure garnet]

doesn’t that usually signify 10gb

[frank zealot]

3.2 is either 10 or 20gbit

3.1 is either 5 or 10

because USB Naming is beyond bullshit

which cpu?

[brisk jolt]

id bet its the 358H

[hoary hatch]

G3 extreme which i think is 2+8+4+12?

[brisk jolt]

personally i think the PTL at 1600 is too expensive for me XD

[frank zealot]

that's the optimal panther, honestly

I'm looking at 358H laptops for my boss

[hoary hatch]

Actually 1600 euro was the leak

[brisk jolt]

inb4 msi gimps it by not giving it an OLED screen

[frank zealot]

euros is usally higher, so maybe 1400?

[brisk jolt]

if its 1600 euros that’d be 2400 SGD here man thats crazy price for a handheld

[shell void]

$1600 for a handheld is crazy town to me too

[shell void]

i assume so

My guess is designs are shown off at computex and throughout the summer

[shell void]

i would like a cheap wildcat laptop but a glossy 120Hz display is required

non negotiable

[shell void]

ill never get over the Steam Deck LCD model having one of the worst displays ever made

i couldnt even find where they wouldve sourced such a bad panel when i went looking

where do you even find a handheld sized LCD that only does like 72% sRGB coverage in 2020+?

[frank zealot]

but amusingly the shitty LCD did offer one feature that nothing else could match:

Lowest nits in the dark

[shell void]

great backlight controller on a horrendous panel

and then they left the white point at like 8000K or whatever so everything looked blue and washed out

[cosmic gazelle]

can you reasonably oc the igpu in 250kp or is it locked down

[young void]

Best buy 5090s are selling out only like 2 models at current msrp

Can we stop releasing games in early access

just finish the fucking game

[edgy laurel]

cheapest i have ever seen it in my entire life

cheaper than the roast beef

i am not yet able to provide a theory on why but im investigating

[vestal granite]

i think valve needs to step in and limit early access duration to 1 yr

at least for these larger companies

dont know how theyd differentiate but early access 1-man dev team makes more sense to be years long vs early access 20 devs and $15M budget

[low sorrel]

Btw

[edgy laurel]

I think I did see it in person at a show a few years back yeah

[frank zealot]

holy shit

Archiving a user at work who did not leave on the best of terms:

Lady had a 30GB inbox I have to fuckin' download and archive >.<

[smoky orbit]

(nyarch to more precise)

[hoary hatch]

Lmao

[low sorrel]

That's not that much

[smoky orbit]

oof

[hoary hatch]

I'm currently at 60GB after doing a big purge

[frank zealot]

60gb of email?!

[hoary hatch]

There's a lot of email

And a lot of files rip

I'm at 56.7 of 99 GB

[pure garnet]

wanna know if someone uses arch? they’ll tell you

[hoary hatch]

I purged about 10gb a month ago

[frank zealot]

my gmail is over 20 fuckin' years old, and

[hoary hatch]

<@&750150305383186585>

[smoky orbit]

<@&750150305383186585> scam

[low sorrel]

<@&750150305383186585> break his balls

[frank zealot]

you slow jerry 😛

[pure garnet]

what’s new

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel oh yeah remember that LS600H I was talking about a while back

I test drove it a couple weeks ago

And God damnit it's quiet

And I'm not sure if I like it

[edgy laurel]

kinda the whole point

[frank zealot]

Google really says "buy more storage"

[low sorrel]

Like you just straight up can't feel the road via the steering wheel

It's also deceptively fast

I think at one point I looked down and I was doing 40 over

[frank zealot]

hold up, the 2TB gets the same AI features as the 80.
Who is dumb enough to not get 10x the storage for 20 bucks a year?!?!

[low sorrel]

Hold up my 2tb of 8k raw footage in the cloud costs them how much?

[pure garnet]

enterprise rates are different

[frank zealot]

why are you storing raw footage in the cloud?

[low sorrel]

Y not

[frank zealot]

but 100 bucks a year for 2TB of storage (Shared with up to 5 people) honestly ain't bad

[low sorrel]

I should probably pay for more cloud storage ngl

My personal account is at 14.5 gb

[pure garnet]

my sister is the icloud hog

[frank zealot]

30 bucks a year for 200gb

20 for 100

(i'm on the 100 currently cuz... why not? That's small money for convenience)

me, my gf, and a spare account are currently sharing it

[frank zealot]

That's a sick lookin build.

[young void]

Very grunge

[frank zealot]

the double 120mm is a choice

[hoary hatch]

Actually pretty decent value all things considered

[frank zealot]

Esp when you can share with family/friends. Up to 5 people can share that 200

the 2TB for 100 ain't bad either if you need a LOT of storage

[hoary hatch]

200gb to share.....that would be pretty difficult for me

But the 2TB plan is far more appealing for sharing

[frank zealot]

(they offer bigger, but that's getting a little silly)

[hoary hatch]

I think the higher tier is part of AI pro plans?

5tb iirc

[frank zealot]

Even the 2TB is AI Pro featureset

which is SO dumb:
200GB + AI Features = 80/yr
2TB + AI Features = 100/yr

[hoary hatch]

Oh there's high high storage only billed monthly

[frank zealot]

okay the 5TB offers features the 2TB doesn't get

but the 200gb + AI is a stupid price

[hoary hatch]

Yeah this one is dumb

Maybe it exists to upsell you to something else

[frank zealot]

I mean the data alone makes the 2TB a deal. About triple the price of 200 for 5x the data.
The AI features are just a bonus

[bold robin]

5600MHz cl46 or 6000MHz cl40 ?

[frank zealot]

uhhhh, there's nothing worse about 6000 CL40... so

[pure garnet]

they’re both unremarkable so whatever’s cheaper

[smoky orbit]

tc1 or tc2?

[late marsh]

I have 6000+MT/s 40-40-40-80 DDR5 vs 6000MT/s 30-36-36-36-80 RAM with basically no difference on AM5 platform. 5600 CL 46 would be a few percentages slower probably in games. Nothing radical though.

But on Intel it might be noticable

[bold robin]

Tc1

Is the cl46 one

Cl40 is tc2

[pure garnet]

if you’re just rocking xmps yeah basically anything is fine

ironically some people in china are running 4200mt/s in 1:1:1 mode and beating out expo 6000 setups in games

[bold robin]

Is running cl46 an issue with 9600x and 9700xt on 1440p

[pure garnet]

no

[late atlas]

i got a fire new gif
