RPCS3 has been based for forever

[cosmic gazelle]

this is insanely based holy shit

[brisk jolt]

shouldnt be tested on x3d bcs its all margin of error

[cosmic gazelle]

i don't agree, you can see in the dude's post that these same types of results are repeatable

in the other tests he performed as well

[brisk jolt]

i wonder why he’s at CL24

also we need to know the game

I dont think its worth running if you already have a 8000 samples but I dont so I run it

[cosmic gazelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/1t3jpgu/ddr5_4400cl24_111_9800x3d_game_benchmark_results/ this is the only american post about it the others are all chinese afaik

[late atlas]

Based

[brisk jolt]

also uses less voltage across the board

[cosmic gazelle]

also my shitty micron kit doesn't dream of running 8k so

[late atlas]

"we're simply blocking you"

[pure garnet]

because tcl below 24 doesn’t exist on the imc

AI Use
Use of AI tools for research and reverse engineering purposes is permitted. However, contributors are expected to fully own and understand all code they submit. Any communication with the team — including code, code comments, and GitHub comments — must come from the human contributor, not an AI agent acting autonomously.

We have unfortunately seen a rise in untested and unverified AI-generated slop being submitted to this project. This wastes maintainer time and, in worse cases, such changes get merged and break functionality for all users. Repeated violations will result in a ban from the repository. Please be respectful of everyone's time.

Pull requests opened by AI agents or automated tools must include a disclosure in the PR description stating the scope of AI involvement — which parts were AI-generated and what human testing or review was performed prior to submission. PRs that omit this disclosure may be closed without review.

If you are unsure about your work, open a discussion issue to talk it through with the team, or reach out to a maintainer on Discord.

good morning

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt playtime...
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/22673 this branch + https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF or https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MTP-GGUF

[young void]

How hards the setup para?

And how hard is it to configure for diffrent task? What kinda use cases can one do with Llama and qwen? I hear good things

[green marsh]

this specific setup (with MTP) or general ? What platform ?

[young void]

Windows 11 and in general im not familiar with the programs at the moment

[green marsh]

well, what is your hardware (for starters ?)

[young void]

9950x3d, 5090, 64gb ram

Im running trellis 2 rn but still learning

[green marsh]

well, for 5090 you probably don't need the many changes llamacpp does, LM Studio is llama.cpp in nicer packaging, sure, it sometimes trails behind by a bit, but probably enough for start.

So, it's relatively simple:

1. Install LM Studio
2. enable developer mode and enable server - it will be available at port 1234
3. under model search, search for unsloth/qwen3.6-27B and pick at least UD-IQ3-XXS quant or higher (but probably 3-bit or 4-bit quants are reasonable), download model
4. on developer page click the blue load model button, in the list at bottom turn on the "Manually choose model load parameters" and then click on the Qwen3.6-27B in the list. At bottom enable Show advanced settings.
   Rename API identifier to whatever you like, pull the context length to maximum, at bottom of the options check K and V Cache Quantization Type and change it to Q4_0. Then press Load Model.

Now you got an OpenAI and Anthropic compatible LLM server running at http://localhost:1234

[cosmic gazelle]

this is stable ™

[green marsh]

after that initial setup, you just need to configure LLM harness of your choice to use that URL. For example for Claude Code you can either set the environment variables of system, in batch file or in .claude/settings.json (or custom settings.json file you pass through CLI parameter to claude code) with settings like:

  "env": {
      "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "does_not_matter",
      "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:1234",
      "CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER": "0",
      "API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3600000",
      "DISABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
      "DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING": "1",
      "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY": "1",
      "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1",
      "CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW": "200000",
      "CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE": "95",
      "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS": "1"
  }

[cosmic gazelle]

i need to run actualy stability testing but it doesn't crash in basic benchmarks

[young void]

Thanks para

[green marsh]

with llama.cpp you go to https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases, download both "Windows x64 (CUDA 13)" and corresponding "CUDA 13.1 DLLs" for latest release, unpack them in same folder.
Then you run something like:

llama-server.exe --ctx-size 200000 --fit on --no-mmproj --jinja --flash-attn on --cache-type-k q4_0 --cache-type-v q4_0 -hf unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL --host 0.0.0.0 --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0.0 --presence-penalty 0 --repeat-penalty 1.0 -ngl 999

That will start a server at http://localhost:8080 (well also at your public IP's, because --host 0.0.0.0) with that model - it will download it and start it.

You can also try to have k cache at q8_0, i think i got up to like 27GB VRAM used with q8_0 k cache and q4_0 v cache.

The difference at client side is just the port.

[cosmic gazelle]

this is pretty dookie but not the worst result on hwbot by a couple of pages so for 4400mts ill take it

[green marsh]

For other CLI harnesses you need to find out how to configure a local LLM or an OpenAI compatible LLM. For example with Pi it is just configuring JSON file, with Hermes Agent it is literally just picking Custom OpenAI server in the configuration screen and typing the URL

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup is there such a huge spread in hwbot yc1b times because of people subbing g1 and g2 results?

it seems like results for people running 8000 are far faster even with looser timings

[hoary hatch]

I need jaykihn to tweet more NVL information

[young void]

Creative studio install itself to anyone else's phone?

If it has no limits going to be fun

[green marsh]

And model choice is up to you. Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is a bit dumber, but still good, but it will be a lot faster. Qwen3.6-27B is going to be better, but slower. Both will fit in your VRAM with 200k context with q8_0 k cache and q4_0 v cache

[young void]

Ill have to play with it inbetween free time looks neat

[slim pebble]

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Now to figure out how to get it working on Linux

[green marsh]

literally same thing. LM Studio deb/AppImage for easy way, llama.cpp precompiled download for everything but CUDA. If you want CUDA for NVIDIA, then you need to compile it yourself.

[slim pebble]

LMStudio doesn’t listen on a port though does it?

[green marsh]

one more trick - if you know you don't have a good enough GPU (<24GB VRAM), then you could go with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and then use llama-fit-params to find out the best command line to squeeze out as much as you can from the hardware, to offload as little as you can, and offload only parts which do not hurt the performance as much

[green marsh]

of course it does

[slim pebble]

I have a 5090, I’m also considering adding in a 3090 I have sitting around for the fun of it.

[green marsh]

and in logs (not sure why it gives me the "DHCP failed" IP address there, but you get the point:

[green marsh]

to be honest, 56GB of VRAM will allow you to run Qwen3.6-27B at higher quant, or at higher K/V cache quantization, which could mean better precision, but personally i haven't had much issues with UD-Q4_K_XL model quant + Q8_0 K cache + Q4_0 V cache. Had to downgrade to Q4_0 K cache with MTP support, but i have yet to decide if i want to keep it or not (i only got 2x 5070 Ti, so slower than your setup and only 32GB VRAM)

[slim pebble]

That’s the question: 27B at a higher quant or a 70B model at a lower one.

[green marsh]

all "bigger" models are older tho, and Qwen3.6-27B beats a bunch of bigger older MoE models, and even Qwen3.6-35B-A3B sometimes does beat the big older brothers

[slender furnace]

what's the point of running an LLM locally?

[green marsh]

privacy, no usage limitations, lower price (if you got the HW already)

[slender furnace]

but isn't the output way worse tho?

[slim pebble]

Yeah no token limits, nobody spying on every query, and it’s respectably intelligent for something running on a PC.

[slim pebble]

Yes, but they also come uncensored.

[slender furnace]

i don't think i have ever run into a situation where i would need the LLM to not spy and be uncensored

[slim pebble]

Before it was common knowledge: Microsoft Copilot used to refuse to answer questions about how many times Bill Gates rode a certain airplane or went to a very special island where people did horrible things.

[slender furnace]

i kinda struggle to imagine why you would need to discuss sensitive topics with an LLM

[green marsh]

Qwen3.6-27B is on par with Sonnet 4.5. Yes, we got Sonnet 4.6 since, and of course there is Opus 4.6 or 4.7; but a free small local model being comparable to half a year old mid-range commercial model is good enough for majority of tasks

usually what you lose with smaller models is world knowledge, but for example as coding assistant that is not as important.

[slim pebble]

You don’t, but I was giving an example of LLM censorship. If it refuses to answer that, what else do they have censored?

[pallid marsh]

How about how many times he asked Jeffery for medication?

[green marsh]

and for example https://x.com/leftcurvedev_/status/2048959358743072808 (and othe videos from this account) show how "good enough" the small local models became

[slender furnace]

is that like a css animation or?

[slim pebble]

lol exactly. An uncensored local LLM can swear and say some really funny and offensive shit.

[green marsh]

usually HTML+JS canvas, yes

[slender furnace]

can open weight models be used just as well for learning?

like do they have just as much info from books?

[green marsh]

what do you mean "for learning" ? As i said, the smaller local models usually have less world knowledge, as you need to save model size somewhere. If you want a local model with lot of world knowledge, you use something like Kimi 2.6... if you got like a 8x B200 system 😄

https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/kimi-k2.6 (595 GB model size for Q8 quant)

(plus add the K/V cache on top of the model size)

[slim pebble]

The local models also aren’t agentic. They can’t google stuff and analyze the web results. You have to do that and feed it in as part of the context window.

[slender furnace]

like learning programming and stuff

[green marsh]

uhm... that is job of the harness 🙂

[slim pebble]

I’ve never used one, now I want to try it

[green marsh]

it can program. You give it a task, it will do the task. If you can learn from that, then you can call it learning.

[slender furnace]

i mean does it have enough knowledge to explain things?

[green marsh]

you connect Claude Code/OpenCode/Hermes Agent to it. or Pi coding agent, if you add the necessary addons.

For example here are the web skills of Hermes Agent: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/web-search

Also they can always just call curl or they can use puppeteer/playwright to interract with browser.

[green marsh]

for programming, usually yes, you can for example give it a stacktrace of a failure and ask it to explain it. Or point it at the project or file and tell it to explain it.

[green marsh]

in Claude Code, it usually just calls curl and grabs the page and then reads it. Without a subscription, i only needed to replace the search functionality with a duckduckgo MCP server (which gives the agent a capability to do web search via DuckDuckGo https://github.com/nickclyde/duckduckgo-mcp-server)

in the end, the classic "chat" usage of these models is the absolute basic functionality, and agentic use (via CLI or desktop coding client) allows it to create/edit files, run commands etc.

[merry stirrup]

could be a plethora of things but yeah on the cold side

nobody has any reason to run 1:1 on cold

[low sorrel]

Ok i forgot what a setsuna bin is

[pallid marsh]

People are crazy

[low sorrel]

That seems like normal pricing these days no

[pallid marsh]

$1600 MSRP 2022 card though

[green marsh]

3090 is over $1.2k if i remember correctly

[vestal granite]

gpu market worse than 2020

[pallid marsh]

Turns fucking 6 years old in September launches at $1500 😂

[green marsh]

US govt bans China from importing 4090 & 5090 GPUs by law, so now they have people buying cards and smuggling them to China that way. Not even joking.

[slender furnace]

aren't they made in china? how would a ban like that even work?

[green marsh]

Taiwan

the banned products are most likely not made in China (which is only 4090, 5090, without the D addons)

[pallid marsh]

Many are assembled in China though like mating the cooler to the PCB

[slim pebble]

I was about to reply with that, that’s not sane.

[low sorrel]

This is true, my dad's cousins friend in China does that

[slim pebble]

Only first party sellers are being watched by anyone. eBay is the Wild West. Nobody watches. Nobody regulates it. The cards go to resellers for export.

[low sorrel]

ONE LEGO SET IS 650 dollars

[steel stream]

It’s almost 8300 pieces

[low sorrel]

so expensive

[fervent elm]

7 cents per piece

[south shuttle]

don’t like lego since they started putting different colored parts inside builds

[shell void]

it's very expensive to setup unique molds for individual lego pieces

if they dont plan on keeping the set in production for a long time then it has to be expensive to recoup cost

[steel stream]

Lego racism

[south shuttle]

sus

[low sorrel]

simply only make mass produced sets

[steel stream]

7¢ a piece is still pretty on brand for pricing too

[wise bear]

i have the daylite as my purse

[south shuttle]

they just make the sets less and less reusable

[low sorrel]

yeah that seems like peyton things to use a backpack as a purse

[wise bear]

https://amazon.com/dp/B0DS6L1LWG

[shell void]

my fam was too poor for themed sets when i was a kid

i just have a bucket of random basic pieces of various colors

[low sorrel]

real

[south shuttle]

because instead of filling a set that’s grey, white or black with same parts as outside, they decided to put like orange, purple, green bricks inside

where you don’t see

[merry stirrup]

i was just too poor for legos

[low sorrel]

I didn't even know lego came in sets until i was like 8

[south shuttle]

but someone even where you do see

[steel stream]

Any set that met an unfortunate death went to the bin

[south shuttle]

like when you have rooms

[steel stream]

A lot of sets

[shell void]

i had more fun playing like that anyway tbh

[steel stream]

My uncle is a crazy collector though, buys two of every set he gets, one to preserve and the other to build

[south shuttle]

ngl i prefer building my own stuff

[shell void]

think of something, make it, play with it, destroy it, and put it back in the bucket

[steel stream]

Playing is more fun with creativity, but I like having sets now as showpieces

[shell void]

kid lego vs adult lego

[low sorrel]

can you even still buy basic lego anymore

[steel stream]

Yup

No more joy and whimsy

[south shuttle]

yes but barely

[steel stream]

I must use the kragle on all my sets

[low sorrel]

[south shuttle]

if i would buy lego i’d go off brand

it’s all just abs plastic

[steel stream]

Where’s the FIFA peace prize LEGO

[south shuttle]

nuuuu

it’s fun when it breaks

[low sorrel]

how much would lego cost to 3d print

[south shuttle]

$$$$
$$
$$$$$

[steel stream]

Not my collector sets

[devout ridge]

3d printed lego kinda sucks

Lego has suprisingly really tight tolerances

That's why offbrand lego always kinda sucks

[steel stream]

They’ve had a while to perfect the process

[wise bear]

well yeah

im utilitarian as fuck

[devout ridge]

The tolerances are required for a good experience

[steel stream]

Agreed

[low sorrel]

didn't they actually have to loosen the tolerances at one point

[devout ridge]

They added in looser tolerances to the design, they didn't reduce the tolerances

IE making the hole a little bigger, not making the tolerance on the hole wider

[south shuttle]

yet you still can’t seperate two flat bricks when they stick together

[devout ridge]

Yeah you can...

[south shuttle]

good luck breaking your nails

[devout ridge]

Weak

Also, brick separator

[merry stirrup]

almost like there’s a tool for it specifically

[south shuttle]

wym weak 😭 my nails literally get destroyed and the bricks had dents in them

[low sorrel]

ngl i never played with much lego as a kid

i was a playdoh kid

Grew up on legos lol.

[merry stirrup]

my mom has a better gpu than you that’s all i’m saying

[low sorrel]

oh and hot wheels

[devout ridge]

I grew up on legos and snap circuits

[low sorrel]

for now

[south shuttle]

i’ve also had these

[spiral quarry]

Still have it in the closet in a box so all creative freedom if I am willing to sort the pieces out.

[merry stirrup]

for the foreseeable future

[low sorrel]

what gpu does she have

[merry stirrup]

a 3070

[south shuttle]

at times those were even more hell to separate

[low sorrel]

@frank cypress

[south shuttle]

if you stuck a red knob onto a metal rod, there was a 30% chance it would never come off

like literally

two pliers, i asked my mom to help and it refused to separate

[low sorrel]

@turbid locust hot wheels > lego

[south shuttle]

tried hammer as well lol it moved a little and that’s it

no idea how it could get stuck that badly even

[turbid locust]

Agree

[arctic bronze]

I had more fun with lego when i was a kid over hot wheels but that was bc i just had the cars, not anything else

[low sorrel]

why even buy hotwheels atp

[arctic bronze]

Bc my family was poor back then

We got what we could

[south shuttle]

we even had a brick separator but some of the flat bricks just held too strongly to get a grip

[low sorrel]

actually this shit was peak

[arctic bronze]

Gokarts is peak

[south shuttle]

i think it happened with older bricks as the plastic ages

[low sorrel]

and then it broke

and the battery started smoking

[arctic bronze]

Super glue the bricks

[low sorrel]

and then i was sad

[south shuttle]

they already were

by themselves

oh you meant that yeah

[arctic bronze]

Swap the battery or mod the car, twin engine and twin battery

[south shuttle]

that would work

but what i mean is they’re sometimes pain in the ass to separate

[low sorrel]

man i looked into gokarting recently

and damn that shit is expensive

[arctic bronze]

Its fun af

[south shuttle]

i used needles

[arctic bronze]

Yeah, you would love it tho, its fun af, thats how i got into minibikes

[south shuttle]

then it was easy with nails

[south shuttle]

at the time we didn’t have anything else other than needles

[low sorrel]

it's like 200 bucks an hr

[south shuttle]

now i can use stuff like a slitted screwdriver

[pallid marsh]

Better have a helmet on mr

[arctic bronze]

Oh no, i mean having your own, i own and built mine

[south shuttle]

oh well maybe i could’ve used cans but i was affaid of cutting myself

[arctic bronze]

Yup 😎

[low sorrel]

yeah but wouldn't i then need a track

[pallid marsh]

Nature

[arctic bronze]

Depends where u live, mine is for offroading and i live in the country

[low sorrel]

I do not infact live in a rural area

[steel stream]

there's a whole go karting league by my college and none of my friends wanted to do it

[arctic bronze]

You can do parks or sidewalks

[pallid marsh]

Sounds expensive

[steel stream]

it was like $180 for 8 races or smth? Not terrible

and it's races without kids or smth

[pallid marsh]

Oh I thought it was a build your own then race in tournaments

[arctic bronze]

Its an awesome feeling to own your own gokart or minibike and being able to fly at like 50mph

[steel stream]

ah nah

it's a pre determined track with karts given

24 hrs of lemons would also be fine though

[pallid marsh]

https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/28150/downhill-power-wheels-racing-for-grown-ups-is-the-absolute-pinnacle-of-motorsports I wanna try this

[steel stream]

that's pretty sweet

I wish I had a garage so I could do all sorts of dumb things

[pallid marsh]

Rent a storage unit 😆

[arctic bronze]

Race mowers is also bad ass

[low sorrel]

TC2 24 hrs of lemons when

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

if only

[pallid marsh]

What's the lemon budget

[low sorrel]

500 bucks + safety equipment

[vestal granite]

its just a lemon, what could it cost, $10?

[low sorrel]

Everyone cheats on the first part

[vestal granite]

yeah what about sales tax

[pallid marsh]

Damn if it was $1k my daily driver would count

[low sorrel]

You can lie

[arctic bronze]

I started on a bench lol

[low sorrel]

Bribery is allowed under the rules

[vestal granite]

sell me your car and then ill sell itb ack to u for $500

[arctic bronze]

Give me your car and ill sell it back for 5k

[vestal granite]

"back in my day we didnt have autism" -> race lawnmower.

[low sorrel]

Does this meet the fia safety standards

[arctic bronze]

Na, thats a gokart, race mowers is an altered tractor mower

[pallid marsh]

Snail could fund it

[arctic bronze]

Safety standards and gokarts dont go together lmao

[pallid marsh]

Only safety is what you are wearing

[arctic bronze]

You can build them to meet it, but most custom ones normally dont unless ur building it specifically for racing

[vestal granite]

just wear a helmet and leather clothes and youll be fine prorbably

[low sorrel]

LS swap it

The LS is probably bigger then the entire go kart lol

[arctic bronze]

Ill install a knife that will point at my chest in the middle of the steering wheel so if i crash, i deserved it ☺️

[vestal granite]

make it a half-track and put a claw on it

[arctic bronze]

Lol

[pallid marsh]

No pain airbag! Brilliant

[low sorrel]

You can also sell parts to increase your budget

[pallid marsh]

My hubcaps sell for $60 per

[arctic bronze]

Sell them to me for $-2

[wise bear]

lets ucking goooooo

[pallid marsh]

You didnt download the free copy?

[wise bear]

no wtf i bought it months ago

[pallid marsh]

You pre ordered a game?!

[wise bear]

well yeah its forza

[arctic bronze]

140GB is fucking insane

[wise bear]

hehehehehehe

[pallid marsh]

True microsoft Forza team needs the extra funds upfront

[pallid marsh]

A 512gb nvme is $88. Dcs world is taking $88 worth of SSD space 🤯

Fuck ai

[wise bear]

or 1/4 of my boot drive

or 1/12 of my overall storage

I think i mathed that right

[brisk jolt]

i want to grab that moza clutch and turtlebeach hpattern so bad now

[wise bear]

500 of 6000 would be 1/12 right

[pallid marsh]

Yes

[wise bear]

yay i mathed

[pallid marsh]

12 512gb sdds

[wise bear]

I also bought a new keeb

[pallid marsh]

What anime board is it

[wise bear]

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Lightspeed-Tenkeyless-Double-Shot-Mechanical/dp/B0D1DN9GR2

[pallid marsh]

a non weeb board impossible

[wise bear]

I honestly don't like the anime stuff

anime, cool

anime weeb merch, 99% lame

[hoary hatch]

A Logitech low profile board without laser ablated ABS keycaps? I am shocked

[pallid marsh]

The weeb model is cheaper

[wise bear]

and i bought the white one instead

💅

[brisk jolt]

this tbh

with the sole exception of buildable model kits

[pallid marsh]

Oh not that weeby

[wise bear]

lightspeed = dope tbh

[arctic bronze]

159 for what 😭

[wise bear]

yeah its very minimalistic

[pallid marsh]

The keyboard Peyton linked above

[wise bear]

I wanted a wireless solution so I can just grab the keeb and mouse and go to the tv den across the hall

lightspeed is actually insanely performant

[pallid marsh]

I want keyboard tv remote

[wise bear]

I did some jankery for my tv wiring

[pallid marsh]

Hmm

[wise bear]

fiber hdmi, 2 usb extenders with retimers, ethernet

[pallid marsh]

200 foot extension cord to your neighbor's outlet?

[pallid marsh]

Don't you own the house so you could drill holes?

[arctic bronze]

😭

[wise bear]

Yes but I really don't want to deal with that

[pallid marsh]

Phishing wire is infuriating

[wise bear]

also considering I have no attic space

its ceiling drywall, framing, insulation, more framing, and then roofing

no gappage

[pallid marsh]

Crawl space ?

[wise bear]

yeah but I'm not armoring things just to put holes in the floors

I'll do that in my new house

[pallid marsh]

Steal copper pipe and use that as free armoring

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

Been looking at land and researching home manufacturers

[pallid marsh]

Lowes 2 storey shed

[topaz veldt]

overhead today

[wise bear]

Lookin' at 1000sqft on 2-4 acres

[wise bear]

pavelow lets gooo

[wise bear]

https://tuffshed.com

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

If anything I'll be going with them because they have a local branch and do custom stuff

[frank cypress]

bassbone would custom loop that whole shed

[wise bear]

Because I could easily have my detatched garage and cabin

[pallid marsh]

Wait nvm can't shop at Lowe's anymore they got them flock cameras now

[topaz veldt]

No SM fiber to the shed no care

[pallid marsh]

Rather drive 15 mins to home Depot vs the 5 mins flock lowes

[wise bear]

No it'll be more of a cabin shell than a shed

and yes there will be fiber ran to the house. that's gonna be mandatory.

I've already budgeted 10 grand for that

[pallid marsh]

What about that good old natural gas

[topaz veldt]

shed pull

[wise bear]

natural gas will also be another large consideration

because I'm gonna be considering more remote forested areas or the high desert in eastern oregon

so it'd be nice to have a backup generator that can run on NG or propane

also dual-fuel water heating and hvac

[steel stream]

damn

[pallid marsh]

Our natural gas saved us a few cold winters nights when our power or heater went out since we have gas fireplaces

[steel stream]

they just installed a bunch in my home county

[wraith steeple]

I wonder if SH has them

[topaz veldt]

dude you're getting a dell

[pallid marsh]

My local Lowe's had flock for like 2 years or more

[steel stream]

straight out of tron

[wraith steeple]

Huh. Looks like they do but not in my part

[pallid marsh]

https://deflock.org/

[steel stream]

you see the news about the water main burst?

[topaz veldt]

is it polluted with human excrement

[steel stream]

nah, a 42" water main burst sunday night over here, and people lost water / were put on boil notice

[topaz veldt]

jeez

[wraith steeple]

In Auburn Hills, yeah?

[steel stream]

yup, luckily I am only on boil warning, but that's crazy

downtown Auburn Hills was flooding

and having a 42" pipe burst is nuts

idk how that happens

[topaz veldt]

thats a lot of water

your shit is gonna be brown/sediment for a while

[steel stream]

yeah, they are fixed the pipe today, and are gradually increasing flow and letting us know about it

[wraith steeple]

Do basically one of these things from where I am. Yeah those are almost non-existent in my part of SH

[topaz veldt]

man oh man

[steel stream]

chump change

[frank cypress]

pocket change for a man of his status

[topaz veldt]

Well the system I just implemented I spec'd like 200 of these lol

[frank cypress]

that's what, a casual $3mil?

[pallid marsh]

How many are you taking home to test

[topaz veldt]

Totally not all of them

[merry stirrup]

meow

[devout ridge]

I love using my UPS as a heated foot rest

[steel stream]

just gotta put padding on it

[devout ridge]

no

raw dogging feat on the UPS

[viral iron]

how noticable is purple blacks on a QD oled.
i like my room with a big of ambiet light
I see comparisons on youtube and it looks pretty bad but comments say its not as noticable irl than on camera.

[steel stream]

depends on the panel gen, but I would say somewhat noticeable

I ran one for a bit and could tell it was there

[viral iron]

i'd like a 4k 240hz but they dont make a new one with woled, so do i just wait for a new panel to come out.

[steel stream]

id say so

tandem WOLED should come 4k 240Hz soon, and that would be peak

[pallid marsh]

I don't notice but I'm in the basement with the lights off

[merry stirrup]

you would be

[steel stream]

Coopa might just be gollum

[viral iron]

yuh

think ill just wait then

[steel stream]

yeah that's what I would do, unless you find a good deal on QDOLED

[viral iron]

Price isn't really an issue.

I just want whats best for my use case.

These monitors all eventually go on sale anyways.

[merry stirrup]

weird logic

however i get it

[pure garnet]

did asus only make like 5 z790 apex encores

[merry stirrup]

like the name suggests yeah

“encore” they had no reason to make a bunch of them, the board was a refresh for specifically ocers

[low sorrel]

Was not expecting @frank cypress to look like that

[frank cypress]

i was expecting you to be a damn mouse

[pure garnet]

isn't the white apex even more rare

[frank cypress]

muehehehehehe

[steel stream]

go fight

[merry stirrup]

yes because they blew up. different reasons LOL

[steel stream]

should have gotten a TC2 meetup selfie smh

[pure garnet]

define blew up this is news to me

[frank cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-sledgehammer-gif-8997298331303714540

[merry stirrup]

iirc they put a cap or something the wrong way on the boards and they partially blew up

it was either z690 or z790

[pure garnet]

😭

[frank cypress]

fuck the thing im glad about not dealing with that PC anymore is that it's lowk kinda fucking heavy

[merry stirrup]

yeah this was a whole production run issue too

[frank cypress]

it was way heavier when it had the second rad but fuck my back is too old for that shit

[pure garnet]

buying a z690 apex to struggle getting 7200mt on a 14900k

[steel stream]

what did you sell him?

[merry stirrup]

and then the board killing himself

😭

[frank cypress]

the whole dang pc aside from ram and storage

plus all of my watercooling stuff

[steel stream]

2080 Ti?

[frank cypress]

4070

[merry stirrup]

okay not whole, but whole revision type shit

[steel stream]

oh holy shit

[frank cypress]

5950x/x570 godlike/4070/1600w + all the watercooling shit

[steel stream]

Jerry has a usable GPU for his display now

damnnnnnnn

[merry stirrup]

might display 4K idk

[steel stream]

pack watch for the 3060 bro

[frank cypress]

the whole gang is on ampere or newer now

🔥

[brisk jolt]

did he get something other than a 3060

[steel stream]

4070

[devout ridge]

3060 ti

[steel stream]

bro has made it

[devout ridge]

Lol it would be really funny if he got a 3060 ti

[frank cypress]

it only took me buying it from kyoko for him to buy it

[steel stream]

4070 is what I consider to be the bare minimum for 4K

[low sorrel]

Yo where the fuck do I even grab this case from

[frank cypress]

good question

[steel stream]

lift it with your mind

[frank cypress]

good luck 🫡

[merry stirrup]

cross continental trip for this gpu bro

[frank cypress]

fuck ass case fr

[steel stream]

the TC2 hardware sharing is so funny to see

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-want-to-play-with-you-anymore-toy-story-i-dont-wanna-play-with-you-anymore-dont-wanna-play-no-more-play-gif-26906930

[frank cypress]

back to an all intel household though 🔥

no more hotglue cpus

[brisk jolt]

outstanding move

[steel stream]

salvation at last 🙏

[brisk jolt]

oh shit jerry has a gpu faster than my slowest one now

this is unacceptable

[merry stirrup]

i think it’s fun you guys also give da good deals

haven’t paid ebay pricing for hw in so long i’m spoiled af

[pallid marsh]

We can't bully his 3060 now

[steel stream]

yeah good deals and it's cool to see how many people get the same piece of hardware

[merry stirrup]

i can bully his shit 4070

[pure garnet]

meanwhile the mpower

[steel stream]

@frank cypress did you sign the 4070 for jerry

[frank cypress]

no 😔

[steel stream]

RIP

[frank cypress]

but kyoko didn't sign it either

[pallid marsh]

How much was the 4070

[merry stirrup]

6$

[frank cypress]

$450 but then ups bent me over and fucked me

[pure garnet]

floppa mac and i shipping the same crappy motherboard cross country multiple times

[pallid marsh]

Cad?

[frank cypress]

so we don't talk about the end price

[merry stirrup]

literally 3x or whatever

[frank cypress]

yeah

[steel stream]

the only known signed GPU is Mac's 5070 Ti given to Floppa afaik

[merry stirrup]

so far yeah

[frank cypress]

special edition frfr

[steel stream]

so in TC2 land it's a collectors item

[merry stirrup]

i want you guys to sign things when they go to me tho

[frank cypress]

well biggie signed the 6700xt? he sold to iono iirc

[merry stirrup]

it is also surprisingly decent

[steel stream]

I gotta find some HW to sell first

[merry stirrup]

oc’s fine on mem and has a good core

[merry stirrup]

i’ll pick up a tv from you like a year from now don’t worry

[steel stream]

I gotta start practicing the akn signature

[merry stirrup]

gotta mog mac’s

[frank cypress]

well biggie might've drawn a phallic object on the gpu instead of signing it, i don't remember

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[steel stream]

that sounds like biggie

[merry stirrup]

@turbid locust see were special

[steel stream]

it's also radeon so it's value is like -300$

[merry stirrup]

true

[frank cypress]

fr

[merry stirrup]

pay me to take it off you

[frank cypress]

last i heard iono has a 4070 from random or something

[merry stirrup]

and to think i almost bought a 9070xt

[steel stream]

I'll buy AMD products just to send videos of it taking a sledgehammer

[merry stirrup]

i’ve figured out the amd method though so i won’t

[merry stirrup]

support the gen really well until the next one comes out then forget about it and make the drivers 3x worse somehow

[pure garnet]

i almost did too

[frank cypress]

man i miss random posting shit like tossing GPUs out of a window or washing it in the sink

[merry stirrup]

then kill the card 2 years later

(drivers)

[steel stream]

RIP random (he's not dead just gone)

[merry stirrup]

i’m still mad about r9 HBM lineup

never forget ✋😔

[low sorrel]

@frank cypress how the hell do I open the case

[turbid locust]

You guys did not own RDNA3 and it shows

[frank cypress]

take off the top panel

[merry stirrup]

i had a 7800xt mac

[frank cypress]

then you can slide off the glass

[merry stirrup]

that’s close enough

[frank cypress]

don't look in the back, it's an utter mess

[turbid locust]

Oh true I forgot my fault

[steel stream]

Mr 7900XTX over here

[frank cypress]

power cable is in the box of custom loop shit

[wraith steeple]

Not as iconic as 5nail breaking his ram modules

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel when are you getting a real 4k gpu with 16gb of vram

[merry stirrup]

yeah it sucked im aware

[steel stream]

that's a good one too

[pure garnet]

i owned rdna 2 but only play an mmo from 2013

[merry stirrup]

so bad i swapped back to a 3080 from it

[frank cypress]

LMAOOOO I just realized

he still has the same amount of vram

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[spiral quarry]

Wait what that's a first I am hearing about this

[turbid locust]

My 6700XT was nice, but only because I was at 1440p and didn’t use upscaling lmao

[pallid marsh]

I had a 5700xt till I got my 9070xt

[merry stirrup]

mac when are we going to a meet together

i must meet uncle mac

[pallid marsh]

To kiss?!

[steel stream]

when he gets his concealed carry permit

[frank cypress]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BciNjetLmLc @low sorrel

[merry stirrup]

he my goat i would /s

[turbid locust]

Don’t need a permit in my state

[frank cypress]

btw the case is a utter piece of shit 👍

[steel stream]

oh even better

[frank zealot]

If I meet mac, we'll be trying booze

[wraith steeple]

Yep a video of him destroying his ram sticks with Eminem playing in the background

[pallid marsh]

So you mailed trash?

[frank cypress]

i hated it the entire time i had it and wanted to upgrade to a proper o11 the entire time i had it

[merry stirrup]

sure bro i’d get krunk with mac

[turbid locust]

idk bro whenever I’m in ur silly ahh state?

[frank cypress]

i mean tbf the case is probably the worst part of the build

[merry stirrup]

or vice versa

[frank cypress]

well, spec wise

[merry stirrup]

you, yoko, ennui, and akn i gotta see you guys once

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

we will see where I end up after college

[merry stirrup]

my bedroom

[pallid marsh]

Debt

[frank cypress]

YOOOO?????

[steel stream]

that's obvious no need to state it

[pallid marsh]

Massive debt with no jobs hiring?

[wraith steeple]

Everything gives you debt

[steel stream]

guys will my masters in creative writing pay off in the long run

[pallid marsh]

Could help you get a job as a substitute teacher

[merry stirrup]

my roommate of course

[frank cypress]

oh ofc ofc

[steel stream]

i guess that'll work

in debt till my 60s

[steel stream]

oregon intel job 🙏

[pallid marsh]

Wonder when I will get into debt

[merry stirrup]

we’re all gonna bunk up with carter

[steel stream]

whenever you let me max out your cards

[merry stirrup]

studio apt 1 bed like the migos

[steel stream]

I'll help him pay his mortgage if it means cheap rent

mow the lawn too

[merry stirrup]

shii we’ll get that non existant basement

[steel stream]

dig it out ourselves

[merry stirrup]

boutta show up on mac’s door
step like a lost puppy

[turbid locust]

Floppa is there a world where my H24M does really dogshit tRFC like 180ns

[merry stirrup]

if you get unlucky yeah - but it’s to my knowledge that trfc is based off electrical design characteristics of the IC so it shouldn’t vary that much

consider heat with anything RFC related perhaps

[steel stream]

kentucky is only like 5 hours from me

[turbid locust]

When I tested at 177ns and max tREFI it failed mega fast

[turbid locust]

like fast enough that the sticks couldn’t even get to max temp

[merry stirrup]

interesting

what volts?

[wraith steeple]

I should visit family back home at some point. ||Luckily the biggest hurdle has been taken care of as the previous regime, I would be jailed/disappeared if I were to land at the airport. Just a matter of when that day will come.||

[turbid locust]

1.5v VDD

Loose everything else

[merry stirrup]

yeah wow maybe you just have unlucky dimms

[pure garnet]

im going to break my monitor

[merry stirrup]

i swar

[pure garnet]

the 7800x3d error'd again

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/krasi-fifa22-fifa22rage-fifa-rage-krasi-rage-gif-26170968

[merry stirrup]

😭

[merry stirrup]

THANK YOU

[steel stream]

i know some ball

[turbid locust]

I never tried to daily these dimms so this the first time they’ve ever seen Karhu. I set 160ns when benching and went LMAO

[steel stream]

also this kid in high school in one of my classes had that as a stim and abused that shit

[pure garnet]

i have tried in order:
cleaning the dimms
reinstalling the dimms
changing the dimm order
vddio
vddp
vdd
loose memtryit timings

the chip just exploded in the box i guess?

[steel stream]

like an alt with a 2 second cooldown he just spammed it

[merry stirrup]

this makes sense yeah. probably just meh sticks. not a huge issue for daily although zen

[turbid locust]

It’s just mad weird that the difference between 8400 running vs erroring in 5 mins no matter what was swapping ICs

[steel stream]

should def try and go for it in like a few years, maybe when oil goes a little lower lol

[turbid locust]

Shit would not run on H16A

[wraith steeple]

NGL it feels weird that I might actually see my relatives again.... IDK it's just a surreal feeling as I thought that the day might never come but here we are

[merry stirrup]

h24m is lighter on the imc this is known

[turbid locust]

yes but that much lighter?

[merry stirrup]

i expect 9266+ on h24m daily stable on my system

[merry stirrup]

plus one ratio? didn’t it do 8300?

[turbid locust]

yeah u right

[pure garnet]

i don't because intel becomes old and confused at high frequency

[turbid locust]

fucc it we slam 1.55v VDDIO when we get home and try for 8600

actually I need to see if H24M works at 8400 with less VDDP

Buildzoid told me it was fine but 1.2V VDDP makes me moderately uncomfortable

[pure garnet]

im gonna one up bro with 8800 fr

[merry stirrup]

i haven’t had issues

[turbid locust]

This is all because 5nail got 8300 going

[merry stirrup]

yeah i’d expect probably 1 ratio from h16a -> h24m

[turbid locust]

He’s on H16A running that so maybe he needs to swap too

Although he usually has better luck with H16A

[merry stirrup]

iirc his h24m is wacky

[turbid locust]

His ARL ran shittier with H24M

[merry stirrup]

isn’t he cudimm though? coulda been it

i dislike them heavily

iirc every score with cudimms is in bypass mode

[turbid locust]

With that being said my 270K liked H16A and my 265K liked H24M it made no sense lmao

[turbid locust]

I’m also cudimm

[merry stirrup]

oh wowza

interesting idk then, probably pcb/training diff though

[brisk jolt]

we*

[cosmic gazelle]

mac did you see my ultra gamer 4400 tune

[turbid locust]

naw

[merry stirrup]

it wouldn’t surprise me if the z890 apex was intended for h16a gskill just like the ocf is

[turbid locust]

true

[merry stirrup]

because yeah, the ocf sets terms automatically for gskill dimms always

[frank cypress]

hnmmm jerry is awfully quiet, i hope he got it figured out

[merry stirrup]

at least last like bios ver 2.20

[cosmic gazelle]

i just copied some guys timings off reddit and set my own primaries and they worked

[pure garnet]

my apex is getting my gskil h24m udimm

[turbid locust]

are you using cinebench as a ram stress test

[cosmic gazelle]

no

it was just to verify that overall system performance hadn’t suddenly taken a dump

[merry stirrup]

lowkey didn’t know you had a 9800x3d

[shell void]

is that your high score?

[cosmic gazelle]

the cinebench wasn’t really relevant it was just the screenshot i had

[cosmic gazelle]

not exactly but my cooling isn’t that great so i don’t really get much higher than that unfortunately

i’ve only ever gotten around 23k on this chip

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

what’s on it? tower cooler?

[cosmic gazelle]

old abused 280

[merry stirrup]

probably the same then

lot more mass ig

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a 3080 so upgrading my cpu cooling would be a complete waste of money rn

[merry stirrup]

one would have to agree

[shell void]

a phantom spirit would probably do better, but if your aio isnt loud then it doesnt really matter

missing out on a few percent of multithread performance is irrelevant

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

that’s what i never understood

people will run cb then ask if their cpu is performing right for games

like dawg 😭

[frank cypress]

benchmarking cpu rendering performance lmaoooooooo

[cosmic gazelle]

i ran a 5800x under this aio for like 2 years with broken airflow pattern and it ran at like 90+c constantly

so i’m assuming the condition of this cooler is not exactly optimal

the water hit over 50c regularly

[frank cypress]

i use it for that cause that's literally what i use my pc for sometimes but it's not actually relevant for most people out there

[merry stirrup]

5800x is a very heat dense chip

[merry stirrup]

i think 60 is where you have to be kinda worried of permeation

i’m sure*

[pure garnet]

shoutout before i learned how to stress test that i just ran my 5800x3d at like -50 or some shit

[merry stirrup]

source - asetek lol

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but just saying it’s not operating at 100% and also is just an older cold plate design

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[pure garnet]

didn't even check with r23 or anything i just opened my game

[cosmic gazelle]

also i can’t verify it didn’t go over 60, very well could have

[pure garnet]

and cranked it till it crashed

[steel stream]

like that one dude who ran -36 on his 9800x3d

[frank cypress]

the evil urge

[cosmic gazelle]

my cpu hits like 30% usage and 60-70 watts in almost any game i play so it’s not gonna matter until i upgrade my gpu at some point

[merry stirrup]

67

[steel stream]

is this for the ceiling viewing

[frank cypress]

nah i just project it high up on the wall

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/elf-will-ferrell-shout-excited-happy-gif-3570641

[merry stirrup]

computer

[frank cypress]

i can't do ceiling cause i have shitty asbestos popcorn ceiling

[viral iron]

Can I eat it.

[merry stirrup]

what is your question

[frank cypress]

ok idk if it actually has asbestos but it is popcorn

[steel stream]

you can get a LG B5 OLED for $600 USD rn

[viral iron]

Nothing I just wanted to flex.

[wraith steeple]

That's definitely on the priority list. Sunday night we had a family outing discussing this actually. It will be years in the making but it's definitely something I have both been wanting to do and also something I never thought would happen. Now with the Assad Regime gone it might actually happen

[cosmic gazelle]

the most power i could get it to draw regardless of undervolt or whatever is 145-150 watts in cinebench, i dont know what non cooling limited chips hit but its fine for me

[frank cypress]

problem is my parents will probably kill me if i drill into the wall

which is why i've been going with projectors 😔

[merry stirrup]

in a “room” of people with similar or better specs rn lol

[viral iron]

Ya.

[steel stream]

super tall stand?

[merry stirrup]

ya

[shell void]

a projector is one of the only types of display that i havent had in my house before

[frank cypress]

i mean i guess that could work, but i also kinda appreciate how big the picture from a projector is

[shell void]

ceiling projection seems awesome for lying down in bed but i also have that popcorn nightmare ceiling

[viral iron]

Lets play league of legends.

[steel stream]

yeah fair enough, B5 is 48" so not as big

[merry stirrup]

same actually 😭

[steel stream]

I've got a flat ceiling lucky, but I just do TV at the end of the bed method

[frank cypress]

are the B5s suitable for pc use like the c series?

[steel stream]

yah I would say so

[frank cypress]

ohhhh 🤔

[pure garnet]

i have a flat ceiling

[shell void]

ouuuu shiiii 🫃

[pure garnet]

i'll add it tothe list

[steel stream]

4K 120Hz 48" OLED

[merry stirrup]

i’d like to add smart sensors to my home

[low sorrel]

@frank cypress where are the screws for mounting the radiator to the case

[merry stirrup]

like door open closed
window open closed stuff like that

[frank cypress]

i put them in a ziplock bag for the ones i had left

[steel stream]

two TVs in da room

[frank cypress]

i think those small stubby screws are for the rad

[pure garnet]

the only homewide upgrade im doing is faster wifi points at some point

[turbid locust]

Hey nice desk bro

[frank cypress]

and the long screws are the ones with the fan alr

[steel stream]

matter enabled, specifically matter enabled are the peak setup

[low sorrel]

Low key I might have already lost 4 scres

[pure garnet]

even with a wired backhaul (which nukes my sisters speeds) we only get 500/500 over wifi vs the gigabit we have

[steel stream]

oh thanks boss, I wonder who recommended it

[merry stirrup]

i don’t live in an amazing area so it would just make me feel better at night

[frank cypress]

oh yeah cause we lied it down flat lol

[merry stirrup]

noted noted

[frank cypress]

i mean you could do two screws per fan lol

just use two diagonal screws lol

[merry stirrup]

& sensors are pretty cheap

[frank cypress]

it'll be fine

[steel stream]

matter is the Apple homekit stuff, so it's pretty well integrated with automations and Siri

[frank cypress]

this looks so fire

[merry stirrup]

ooh okie

my mom does have android though does this matter

[low sorrel]

Ah yad your loop has an air bubble

[frank cypress]

hmm?

[steel stream]

typically a matter device also supports google home, you'll just have to look for products that do both

[low sorrel]

There's an air bubble in the res lol

[merry stirrup]

okie

[steel stream]

thanks boss, could use some more decor but TVs are enough of a showpiece

[frank cypress]

nah i couldn't fill it more without leaking iirc

[steel stream]

my favorite thing about my matter lights is that they turn off and on when I leave the house

[frank cypress]

or spilling it everywhere

[merry stirrup]

ah cause it just uses bluetooth(?)

this is simple and smart

i assume it just connects to your phone every once and a while to see if you’re there

[frank cypress]

the pump is at the bottom anyways so it's not like that'll die cause of it either

[steel stream]

I think so, I use an AppleTV as a smart hub too

[merry stirrup]

do i need one?

or is it diyable

[frank cypress]

oop dinner

[icy mortar]

uhh I assume my 850W PSU would implode if I added a 3060, right? (also dont worry, I know I wont get more FPS in games or anything like that)

[steel stream]

you'll need a a Matter/Homekit hub, but you don't need an AppleTV specifically

[merry stirrup]

oh wait nah i need one for the proprietary ness

special radio signals and whatnot

[merry stirrup]

yeah okie sounds good

[steel stream]

https://matterhubs.com/ ah this looks like a good resource

i legit just found this

[merry stirrup]

okie okie i’ll bookmark that

yeah i’m gonna do storage on the box and then buy all that stuff

[steel stream]

oh hmm I am also learning a lot

[merry stirrup]

cause the ultimate goal is also surveillance but it can wait

[steel stream]

yeah I really just wanted my lights + Siri integration

not having to go into some 3rd party app to turn off my lights when I could just use siri is peak

[merry stirrup]

yeah there’s some freaky people here no lie but it’s alright

[merry stirrup]

fire. incredible suggestion

[steel stream]

just gotta outfreak them

[merry stirrup]

idk man sometimes even i’m outmatched

[steel stream]

damn that bad

[merry stirrup]

😭yeah bro

[low sorrel]

The second rad is probably going to be just for show lmao

I cba to drain it right now

[turbid berry]

Raise a floppa ahh username😭

[merry stirrup]

jerry are you delaying ddr5 for the foreseeable future?

[low sorrel]

Yes

[shell void]

brother akn im using the taxbook pro for something other than taxes right now, this is an unprecedented and momentous occasion

[merry stirrup]

my name has been floppa for like the entirety of my time on this platform

most of my online aliases have something to do with floppa

[fringe vigil]

Who’s this guy

[merry stirrup]

i just like the cat not roblox

[shell void]

(im just using it to watch youtube and text in here)

[merry stirrup]

LOL

youtube on the crackbook? why

don’t you have a million better displays in your home

[steel stream]

holy shit

[shell void]

i was autonomously presented with an itch to update the taxbook, and then use it in bed

[merry stirrup]

interesting

[steel stream]

oh I updated my iPhone today

[merry stirrup]

that is the upside of laptops for me i have no use for one otherwise

[steel stream]

now apple maps has ads

[merry stirrup]

bro i’m still on ios 18 💀😭

[shell void]

nah the macbook display is fantastic

[steel stream]

damnnnnnnn bro, cavemen operating system

[merry stirrup]

i did not like 26 and my phone is old so i figured it better not to update anwyays

[steel stream]

yeah 26 is not great I just like staying up to date for some reason

[shell void]

if i didnt have an iphone 17 pro max then i would also be on 18.7.829e1weudshas or whatever the latest patch for that is

i have my 13 pro max on that, and i think it looks nicer

[merry stirrup]

yeah that’s what i’m on

[steel stream]

they really need to let us disable liquid glass

[merry stirrup]

liquid ass

[shell void]

i dont think thatll ever happen, we'll just have this until the next redesign

[steel stream]

liquid glass is nice and stuff for the wallpaper, camera app

[shell void]

it doesnt make me mad or anything, im not a raging anti-26er

[steel stream]

liquid glass is actually good on TV os though

[merry stirrup]

same me neither but for my personal phone i think it’s a smart idea to pass

[shell void]

i just think that the previous ui design was better, especially the more squarish corners

[merry stirrup]

12pm, thing is ancient antiquated tech

[steel stream]

yeah it's not deal breaking or anything, it just seems half baked to me

[shell void]

yeah i think youre making the right call

[merry stirrup]

likely

[shell void]

18.7.tenmillion is very polished

[merry stirrup]

i have a 13 i’m going to repair but it’ll probably be used as a camera

(the webcam clearly needs upgrading)

[turbid locust]

I will upgrade every 4 years as god intended

[merry stirrup]

(it’s to have 2 camera angles)

[pure garnet]

i only upgraded early to change sizes

[merry stirrup]

bro i just wait for someone in my family to not need a phone anymore realistically

not a mobile computing kinda guy

like 95% of my screen time is a at a real desktop like god intended

[pure garnet]

i used to buy a new phone every 6 months but now i stopped caring

[turbid locust]

Same that’s why I just wait 4 years

[merry stirrup]

tc1 is awful

[spiral quarry]

👀

[steel stream]

Yeah I try and use my phone as little as possible now

[merry stirrup]

it’s not even that i think all people are “addicted” to their pgones

i just don’t have a large use case for computers not at home

if i want to read an article im not doing that on my phone i dont hate myself or my eyes

[steel stream]

I just try and use it for staying in contact with people now that’s about it

Texts + phone calls, occasional email

And then just generic phone stuff

[shell void]

it is half baked in comparison to ios 18 which is not hugely different from ios 11 (launched with the iphone X)

we had the same sort of design and controls for a long time

[spiral quarry]

How you handling with battery life on it?

Lol I still see people complaining about it being terrible, but was comparing it from ios 18 and both are unchanged on my end

[steel stream]

Yeah it seems like they just wanted this huge redesign but came up with nothing

[spiral quarry]

At least with my 16 and for a bit I tested it on the 12 I use to main.

[shell void]

i didnt realize that we had the same design for that long until i just went back and looked at each version

[shell void]

ive only used ios 26 on my 17 pro max so my perception is skued, but this phone has the longest battery life out of anything that ive experienced

[steel stream]

My 16 pro is still doing great

I charge about every 1.5 days

[shell void]

my 13 pro max on ios 18 was dead by the time that i got home from work, i was used to charging it mid-day

[steel stream]

To 80%

[turbid locust]

I charge mine every day but to 80% max

[merry stirrup]

i charge mine

[turbid locust]

Just over a year of use now, still 100% battery health

[steel stream]

92% for me

[shell void]

i charge mine during lunch, and while i sleep

[merry stirrup]

wow mister min maxer here

[spiral quarry]

Dropped to 97% for me lol. I don't care otherwise

[steel stream]

What can I say

[merry stirrup]

that 12% is crucial for more reels

[turbid locust]

My 12PM dropped from 100% to 79% in the first few months and stayed there for the next 4 years. Idk. I think it was defective.

[merry stirrup]

mines cooked

im not even gonna show or say just know its cooked

[steel stream]

My old 11 was shot

[merry stirrup]

i replaced it when i got it 3 years ago but now the health down again

[spiral quarry]

I got some other shortcut they analysis to a bigger detail but not bad for the 12.

[steel stream]

There’s already a fuck ass mosquito in my house man

[shell void]

oh right it's skewed not skued, idk why i used the medieval spelling

[steel stream]

You wish for a simpler time

[steel stream]

What is this?

I’ve never seen that before

[merry stirrup]

he yearns for monolithic cpus and no such thing as infinity wires

[spiral quarry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1hkjfch/battery_report_vcard_for_iphone_v22/

[steel stream]

Neat

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel mf just ripped overhead running no lights

[merry stirrup]

i gotta learn from uncs before to stretch before i go into work

[spiral quarry]

Gives you a bigger read out on the charger used, battery temps, and a logged history of mah drops over the months.

[merry stirrup]

my back hurtin

doesnt help that i probably look like a bridge goblin while building puter or fixing puter

[topaz veldt]

You just gotta get bigger

[merry stirrup]

nah its not the lifting i just have terrible posture

i have to not do that

heaviest computer ill ever build is probably 80 pounds and i definitely got that

[steel stream]

Back extensions at the gym help so much

[merry stirrup]

noted

[steel stream]

I had terrible back pain for a bit and that helped

Back extensions + ab crunch

[merry stirrup]

lock in season

[steel stream]

I gotta get back on the grind, I took the week after finals and this week off from the gym

[shell void]

repost but i’m mildly excited about this board potentially having copper heatsinks

i hope it looks cool

[steel stream]

I love the look of copper so hopefully it looks good

[topaz veldt]

I got my unc shoes on

[merry stirrup]

cannot wait to see this irl

[steel stream]

Missing the 4090 part of it

[merry stirrup]

i still need to get me some

moccasins are peak

[steel stream]

I’ve got a pair and they are nice

[topaz veldt]

Cozy outdoors

[merry stirrup]

i like my feet warm

i have hardwood floors so theyre always cold so mocassins would be peak

[steel stream]

See I don’t like wearing them outdoors cause I don’t believe fluff should go outside lol

[merry stirrup]

and i can walk outside in them which is even better

[steel stream]

I’ve got an indoor and an outdoor pair but I just never wear the outdoor ones

[merry stirrup]

lol

neat, probably fart

if a floppa had to guess its going to be some like h16a downbin but not cutdown or perhaps like cutdown h24m
