[cosmic gazelle]

what are you doing 4000 on, what platform

[steel stream]

hey look that's me lol

[pure garnet]

i can’t install it till after work

[cosmic gazelle]

why work just move to mexico and smuggle drugs

[late atlas]

Or just rob a bank

But there're other cool legal and unethical activities you can do

[nova patrol]

and get your head chopped off

[late atlas]

If you get caught

[cosmic gazelle]

lmao gemini is so silly

if you ask it to make you quiz questions it makes every answer b

[late atlas]

what if you ask it to not make every answer b

[cosmic gazelle]

then you use more of your free quota asking it to change something lol

i just needed a study tool anyways

[late atlas]

We should all ask AI to do very complex and complicated tasks on repeat 24/7 to make sure we waste as much electricity as we can

I wonder if that'd actually have an impact

[cosmic gazelle]

it wouldn't waste any electricity on claude because it would attempt to complete your prompt for approximately 30 seconds and then tell you you ran out of free tokens

[late atlas]

Damn it

[frank zealot]

@steel stream I want one

[turbid locust]

Need you to give me secret sauce terms for the Gene thanks

[steel stream]

oh that's pretty neat

[frank zealot]

Right?

[civic reef]

Oh, AM4

X570 PG4, iirc it does 4666 maximum

[smoky orbit]

You can overclock your laptop’s ram?

[civic reef]

Nope, don't think so

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel

Most laptops don't offer a lot of bios controls

Because laptops

[edgy laurel]

I never was into arcade games

they just don't do anything for me

[late atlas]

Same

They're fun for about 5 minutes and then it's kinda meh

Although for some reason it's addictive to try and get a high score

[pure garnet]

in the 2 minutes i saw it before leaving for work its easily the nicest box ive had

[turbid locust]

Yeah Asus does packaging really well

[smoky orbit]

My gigabyte gaming laptop offers me: virtualization on/off, boot sequence, smart gpu switch on/off, bios raid and secure boot stuff. that’s it, I have an overclockable intel mobile cpu (i7-13700hx) that I can’t overclock at all because the option to allow that is normally in the bios but gigabyte decided to say “fuck you”

[frank zealot]

That's an enthusiast gaming laptop. Which is a small niche.

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, since why it should have a better bios than the shit ass one it has

[frank zealot]

The vast majority of laptops have shit bios options

[late atlas]

Shit ass

Indeed that is where shit comes from

[smoky orbit]

(Im on the latest bios, it’s not an issue with it being too old)

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, but usually you have more control than literally nothing like the one my laptop has (at least in all previous laptop i ever had before this one)

[pure garnet]

i’m just filling in for a few hours so i should be able to play with it a good bit today

3 hour shift 🔥🔥

[brisk jolt]

PG32UCDM3 v1 box:

[frank zealot]

I have worked on dozens that don't even offer xmp

[smoky orbit]

Thank you for reminding me that my gaming laptop doesn’t even allow me to enable xmp

[brisk jolt]

i thought laptops didnt offer xmp ngl

[pure garnet]

why would they

[brisk jolt]

so they dont…

[pure garnet]

i don’t even know of any sodimms with an xmp profile

even the 3200 sticks are just jedec

[brisk jolt]

thats what i was thinking since i also have never seen one, but seemed like conversation was sayin otherwise

[smoky orbit]

(It has soddims, so they don’t even have the excuse of using soldered ram)

[frank zealot]

Some do, vast majority don't

[nocturne jacinth]

cuz they don't have the options? can you use software or is it completely locked out

[hoary hatch]

@steel stream I could turn this into a thousand word videocardz article

[smoky orbit]

It’s basically hard locked

[nocturne jacinth]

Wobder why they even put an hx in

[smoky orbit]

I could try to make a hacked bios and add those features back but I don’t want to waste my time on a laptop ( cause it doesn’t have an easy way to flash a bios if it’s corrupted, like all other laptops)

[smoky orbit]

No idea and it’s really stupid

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust the voltage test points are so cool to me for some reason

[cosmic gazelle]

hey claude make me a 1000 word article based on this

[hoary hatch]

Hey Claude ask chatgpt to Google ai summary a dissertation about this tweet

[frank zealot]

Hey Copilot....

[steel stream]

dude imma be honest I did not expect 32c RZL

32c is nuts

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup i gave up on trying to find the max dailyable tune for hwbot subs on the 6300 and instead am just going with a config that crashes karhu after 4 hours

i'm kinda assuming it's just a heat issue

[devout ridge]

She is pretty

[steel stream]

we've only had 12 Xe units for iGPUs so far, and they are already super promising, 32 Xe units would be a kick ass iGPU

[steel stream]

nice sweetwater and shure sticker

[frank zealot]

I just got a neo in the mail for work testing

[devout ridge]

I got em for free from theater purchases

you could argue those are 40kusd stickers and the hardware was free

[hoary hatch]

How many theatres do you own

[devout ridge]

7, duh

[steel stream]

i applied for a shure internship but they rejected me

[hoary hatch]

fuck scamsung

[steel stream]

yeah I'm all for it, hope the workers get a good deal

[pallid marsh]

Sk hynix gave employees $470k usd while Samsung only went up to $340k with negotiations if I recall right

Sk hynix is projected to give employees nearly 1 million usd next year

[steel stream]

good good

[green marsh]

yeah, this is the real issue - samsung tried to do one time, while sk hynix is doing it for next 10 years

SK hynix's labor unions and management agreed to remove the cap on performance-based bonuses and allocate 10 percent of operating profit to such payouts over the next 10 years

(at least as far as i understand it)

[brisk jolt]

[green marsh]

today i tested how well does Qwen3.6-35B-A3B performs on a single 1080 Ti with right offloading - it is good enough, so now that i am getting a buyer for a X570+3900X+32GB DDR4-3000 and i have no PC to put the 1080 Ti into, i am putting it in my server to serve as LLM backend for less demanding agentic functions. I mean it's slower than my coding LLM box, but for something like Hermes doing simple stuff it should be enough (~400-500t/s prompt processing, ~40t/s token generation)

[steel stream]

@hoary hatch you'll need to try this out https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/the-steam-controller-wilhelm-scream-easter-egg-is-incredible/

[devout ridge]

transferring almost 200GB at 40MB/s is just painful

[low sorrel]

TBf can't cyberpunk run on the MacBook neo

Well "run"

[devout ridge]

the size difference in the 13in and 14in is honestly barely noticeable

[steel stream]

walk

@low sorrel buy this for your framework https://videocardz.com/newz/deepcomputing-launches-699-risc-v-mainboard-for-framework-laptop-13

[low sorrel]

That sounds... RiskV

[pallid marsh]

Risky like your driving

[devout ridge]

I need this transfer to finish so i can see the crisp colors of apple’s miniLED

[steel stream]

it's pretty good

how long is the estimate?

[brisk jolt]

3 business days if he’s lucky

[devout ridge]

7 minutes, but it’s said that for 6 minutes now

these 7 minutes are the longest 3 hours of my life

[steel stream]

6 to 7 minutes???....

might snag a pragmata nvidia game code for like 20 bucks

[devout ridge]

this is apple punishing me for not buying a thunderbolt cable

[steel stream]

should have bought a TrueSpec ™ cable from lttstore.com

[devout ridge]

not gonna drop 60usd on a cable though

[devout ridge]

How? they’re always out of stock

[steel stream]

steal

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/wxaXWSVhRXU?si=5sddtwd_PcHLPjJt

feck yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

for only $499.99

[pallid marsh]

@topaz veldt https://wccftech.com/asus-silently-releases-proart-rtx-5090-oc/ how many are you getting

[edgy laurel]

i don't think he's interested in worse performing versions

[steel stream]

as much as I like the ProArt lineup, that just looks average

[pallid marsh]

I thought tc2 was Asus shills?!

[edgy laurel]

2.5slots in a standard design can't be that good for thermals

[steel stream]

it's just FE but made worse

[steel stream]

I have standards!

[edgy laurel]

yeah, none of the cool engineering

[fringe vigil]

ive never eaten a big mac

is that bad

[steel stream]

I have a $200+ case, and $200+ cooler both from ProArt but I would not buy that GPU

[pallid marsh]

What if it was the same price as the normal FE

[frank cypress]

!!!!!!

[steel stream]

nah still normal FE tbh

this is my favorite FE gen

[frank cypress]

how much is msrp?

[steel stream]

for the ProArt? probs around $4K

[frank cypress]

damn nvm just realized that 5090s are selling for 5k alone

[pallid marsh]

ASUS hasn't revealed any information on its pricing, but given how most RTX 5090s are selling for over $4,000, we don't expect it to be cheaper"

[frank cypress]

cad obv

interest gone

no longer want it

[pallid marsh]

3090s are selling for bloody $1100

[frank cypress]

🥀

[steel stream]

As much as I want a proart GPU, I won't pay that premium

[frank cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-ai-the-studio-ice-cube-gif-7633267398345347147

[steel stream]

I love my case, AIO is cool, but PA gpus are crazy

I also might go back to air cooling

with chromax nh-d15 G2

[pallid marsh]

Wait what pro art case did you over spend on

[frank cypress]

hmmmm

[steel stream]

the big boy, PA602

[pallid marsh]

And aio!?

[steel stream]

and I have the PA LC 420

[frank cypress]

if i sold my 4000 ada sff for 1k id only be $800 short on a 5090 fe....

[steel stream]

sheeeitttt

[frank cypress]

idontneeditidontneeditidontneedit

[steel stream]

4000 ADA sff and 5090 FE are two of my favorite looking GPUs lol

[frank cypress]

actually yeah I should just wait for next gen

5090 is cool but eh

[steel stream]

60 series will hopefully be a cooler arch

[frank cypress]

🙏

[steel stream]

I like blackwell and all, but 60 series will be a new node and new arch

[frank cypress]

48gb 6090 PLS

[frank cypress]

yeah not really interested in what is basically ada v2

the more I think about it

[steel stream]

real

[pallid marsh]

6070/ti better have 4090 raster performance no 5070= 4090 bs

[steel stream]

my crystal ball says 6070 Ti will match in raster

[frank cypress]

it fucking better

the 4070ti matched the 3090 iirc

[pallid marsh]

With a minimum 18gb of dedicated video wams

[steel stream]

huge news for the program

[pallid marsh]

6070 16gb 6070ti 20gb 6080 24gb 6070 = 5080 6070ti = 4090

[pallid marsh]

Hmm wonder if Intel's stock will go up now

[steel stream]

to the moon

[willow ruin]

A tone know what kind of output port this is?

Furthest right, green.

[pallid marsh]

Look up the manual

[turbid locust]

Is that not mini DisplayPort

if so, 2nd Dis implies second display

[cosmic gazelle]

[steel stream]

Apple is so back

they never left but they are so back

[shell void]

the best silicon hardware engineers in the world are going to utilize the best fab and packaging in the world (american btw)

we used to pray for times like these

M7 Macbook Air OLED?

one generation after the M6 Pro/Maxbooks get OLED perhaps

[low sorrel]

I massively mis read that headline

I read that as apple uses Intel 18th gen p cores for m7 MacBook chips and 14th gen for iphone

[steel stream]

oh snap pros are getting OLED too this gen?

thought it would be ultra only

[hoary hatch]

There is a 15 minute queue for the office microwave

[steel stream]

you have quite the mind jerry

[steel stream]

I hope no one brought fish

[hoary hatch]

I do not want to eat a cold rice rectangular prism

[hoary hatch]

Asian company, fish is microwaved all the time, not really an issue

The issue is 2 microwaves have died in the last week, we're down to one

[low sorrel]

Real

[hoary hatch]

Now, none of these microwaves are commercial rated soooooo

[steel stream]

oh damn, fallen soldiers in the line of duty

[hoary hatch]

2 of them are dinky dorm microwaves

[low sorrel]

Cheat compressions chest compressions chest compressions

[low sorrel]

To be fair all microwaves are basically the same

[hoary hatch]

They should get heavy duty commercial grade ones

[low sorrel]

Minus the commerical knes

[steel stream]

nah there are two types

[shell void]

idk what they’ll be called but supposedly it’s only the higher end models

the 14” base M6 model probably won’t have OLED

[steel stream]

oh damn

[shell void]

M1 Pro 4ever

[hoary hatch]

New lineup idea
MacBook neo (13") A series
MacBook air (13/15") MX base
MacBook pro (14"), MX pro chip only
MacBook ultra (16"), MX max chip only

[low sorrel]

Real

[steel stream]

I'd like an OLED macbook but I am afraid of the price

[low sorrel]

MacBook pro with the base model always was weird

[steel stream]

it's not too crazy to me

the pro part is also the chassis and screen

[shell void]

i propose that the air disappears because it serves no practical purpose

99% of air buyers’ needs are met by the half priced neo

[hoary hatch]

Neo is a child's toy

No fuck you actually eat a bag of ducks Michael the air is fantastic

[shell void]

people that want a real macbook will pay the extra $2-300 for a 14” pro over an air that throttles hard asf and has no i/o

the air is just an overpriced glorified neo

[low sorrel]

Real

oh yeah

[hoary hatch]

I wouldn't consider a neo at all

[low sorrel]

My uncle bought my cousin a MacBook air literally one week before the neo was announced lol

[hoary hatch]

15" MacBook air is the perfect laptop

[low sorrel]

Don't even know why she needs a macbook

SHES 9

[steel stream]

Yes I agree but it probably won't go away

[low sorrel]

The air drives people to upgrade to the mbp now icl

[steel stream]

maybe air will get a new chassis soon

[hoary hatch]

2029

[steel stream]

maybe a 120Hz LCD screen

[low sorrel]

Hear me out

MacBook fold

[steel stream]

go buy an iPad

[hoary hatch]

Bro what do you think a laptop does

[low sorrel]

No but it's a trifold

[hoary hatch]

It already folds you dingus

[hoary hatch]

Oh , okay, I'll listen

[shell void]

yeah lemme pay twice as much for the same 13” 500nit 60Hz IPS, passively cooled experience (but it’s slightly more powerful and can have more ram)

but not pay slightly more than that for a pro

[low sorrel]

Macs first foray into oled trust

[frank cypress]

its the medium fries bro

[low sorrel]

^

[steel stream]

Macbook air needs a chassis redesign to set it apart

[shell void]

it needs to get put in the bin

[low sorrel]

Lowkey the air part of the MacBook air doesn't really matter

[shell void]

i suspect it’ll be phased out because it has a very limited niche audience like the iphone air tried to capture

people who will pay almost pro pricing for an inferior experience just because it’s slim

[steel stream]

iPhone air such a blunder

[hoary hatch]

The air screen is nicer, a bit bigger, more ram and storage options
Ports for adults, a CPU for adults
Backlight fucking keyboard

But yeah they should put a 120hz LCD on it

[steel stream]

honestly if Air had the same 120Hz miniled screen I wouldn't mind rocking one

I run altium and ltspice sometimes but that could just go to the desktop

[hoary hatch]

Honestly the worst part is the name
Should be iPhone 17 air

But the iPhone air exists because they were developing smaller logic board and battery for the iPhold

[low sorrel]

@brisk jolt getting a g29 for free in a couple months

[steel stream]

Air is just too thin

no one wants a phone like that anymore

[hoary hatch]

It's so nice in the hand

[low sorrel]

Some guy they offered to give me a g29 when he comes up to Canada in a few months lol

[hoary hatch]

Uh

[bold robin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luU57hMhkak

[hoary hatch]

The iPhone air and S25 edge feel amazing to hold/use but would suck to live with

[steel stream]

idk I really like the feel of iPhone pro phones

[pallid marsh]

Wonder if the MacBook neo is taking away mac air sales to

[hoary hatch]

I mean they all feel premium it's just the weight

[steel stream]

I don't want a obscenely heavy phone, but I like a phone with some heft

[hoary hatch]

I forgot how light phones used to be

[steel stream]

idk maybe I am not recalling my time with my 6s

[hoary hatch]

They're not worth the battery life trade off

[steel stream]

that was also a good phone

[shell void]

the CPU for adults? it throttles to half typical performance

the storage? apple storage pricing is absurd, never pay for it

the display? not any better than a Neo
in reality because they’re both 500nit 60Hz IPS with full BT.709 coverage

the I/O? one extra usb port

backlit keyboard? turn on the lights and take some typing lessons

that’ll be twice as much money for largely the same experience, thanks customer

[steel stream]

the only phone I did not really like to hold was my iPhone 11

[green marsh]

and hope they won't get a throttlin m5 max if they go for max /s

[pallid marsh]

https://youtu.be/mjl0So1wk3c?si=ovZ82Q0-76DWUukn

[hoary hatch]

I just cannot use the dinky little neo screen its too small

Also 8gb of ram is too little

Also doesn't the neo not support true tone?

[pallid marsh]

https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/07/macbook-neo-a19-pro-chip-next-year/ what about 12gb with a a19 pro?

[steel stream]

do people use true tone?

[hoary hatch]

This doesn't exist

[hoary hatch]

Yes they do

Because most people most of the time do not do color sensitive work

[green marsh]

only if you are fine with 8GB RAM. Maybe the next year 12GB Neo will be actual Air competitor

[green marsh]

that is next year. Maybe

[steel stream]

idk it really doesn't change my experience using my phone

[hoary hatch]

I use adaptive display and auto night mode

The only time I turn true tone off on my Mac is when lightroom is open

[steel stream]

maybe I'll give true tone another shot

[hoary hatch]

I'm really just the target MacBook air customer

I like the bigger size option, moderately better specs than the neo, but I really don't want the increased weight and cost of a pro

The 14" pro is just a little bit cramped

And the neo is a lot cramped

[steel stream]

I've got a 15" rn, I'd probs go for a 14" MBP

[hoary hatch]

If they launched a 15 version of this I'd very much reconsider my opinions on the air

[hoary hatch]

I'm probably the only person that doesn't care for the mini LED screen

120hz very nice

But I do not watch things on my laptop(s)

[steel stream]

i just like 120Hz for browsing and stuff

[hoary hatch]

Yeah that's why I'd be very happy with a 120hz basic lcd upgrade

[steel stream]

I'm spoiled with an OLED laptop rn and I love it, albeit 60Hz

[steel stream]

idk I just like portable HDR capability

[hoary hatch]

The air redesign rumors are supposed to be 2028-2029 ish

[steel stream]

or the idea of it

[hoary hatch]

For gaming?

[steel stream]

YT or movies

I don't game on my laptops

[low sorrel]

@frank cypress lol I just got my census mailed to me

[hoary hatch]

I wish more YouTubers uploaded in hdr

I don't watch movies tho so meh

[low sorrel]

AFTER the due date

[steel stream]

other than tetris and maybe minecraft

[low sorrel]

Government efficiency

[hoary hatch]

Give me a 17" air

[steel stream]

I don't watch too much on my laptop it's just nice to have

[hoary hatch]

I don't watch movies uhhhh on anything

The only scripted content I've watched in the last little while was Maul on D+

[low sorrel]

Dude it's so funny when people complain about hdr on short form content

[hoary hatch]

I get why people are still running 10 right now, but come the fuck on.... 23 years old?

[pallid marsh]

Because I still have security updates for it

[frank cypress]

[pallid marsh]

[pure garnet]

for the first time in eons it’s finally closer to its expo profile than not

8000c38 kit been going at 6400 for forever

[frank zealot]

do you mean updates for Defender? Or are you on a LTSC Branch?

[frank cypress]

apex just that op?

[pure garnet]

i’ve been running a bunch of 4 dimmers so this is the first real atx mem board i’ve had for amd

[frank cypress]

ah

[pallid marsh]

The plain Jane free 1 year of security updates they did last year for 10 , I missed read the message you sent saying you understood why people are still on 10 oops

[steel stream]

looks good

[pure garnet]

adult board goes hard

time to try an actual tune instead of the profile now

[steel stream]

🙏

[pure garnet]

tRP is evil @merry stirrup

[cosmic gazelle]

holy moly 😭

[devout ridge]

people care a little too much about ancient fanfics

[cosmic gazelle]

i had a minecraft mod pack crash, corrupt itself, and lock my whole system up earlier and i can’t tell if it was my ram or if it was the mod pack

[devout ridge]

when in doubt, it's the mod pack

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s about what pokemon wouldn’t be allowed on the ark señor reddit atheist

[devout ridge]

also isn't the whole point of noah's ark that 2 of everything would be let on?

[cosmic gazelle]

the joke was that tandemaus is multiple mice

[late atlas]

alright guys listen

39 inch 240hz woled for £900 or 2nd hand/b grade (from the same seller website, overclockers.co.uk) but £650

39GS95QE-B

[merry stirrup]

looks ok just more surprised about the time

hour and 8 minutes or something

[pure garnet]

his place loves pny

[merry stirrup]

reference model sold cheap

[pure garnet]

for some reason cl42 is no post but cl40 posts

magic number

[merry stirrup]

is tcwl 38

[pure garnet]

i guess it doesn't post to check

[merry stirrup]

probably something silly like that

[merry stirrup]

that is probably why

[pure garnet]

what makes tcwl 40 evil

[merry stirrup]

nothing it’s probably not setting tcwl 40 though

especially if you went from 40 -> 42 tcl. auto settings suck

my board does the same thing for some reason so that’s why i think that

[remote drift]

that's how i edited HWinfo

[merry stirrup]

colors

[cosmic gazelle]

floppa i’m gonna nuke your old 6300 subs when i get my alibaba cooler

[merry stirrup]

idk if i actually subbed much on the 6300 lol

but i can always whip it out - pause

[cosmic gazelle]

they’re old and certainly way worse than whatever you’re capable of now lol

you currently are like 4th to last in 7zip

[frank cypress]

as they should

[merry stirrup]

oh lmao yeah probs from 2021

[frank cypress]

so based

[cosmic gazelle]

2023 i think

[merry stirrup]

ah

3 hours left at work

[cosmic gazelle]

your 4300mhz result is barely better than my 3750 result

[pure garnet]

i think i need more vddq

[cosmic gazelle]

i think you need more bbq

[pure garnet]

i went from 40 min to not 40% lmao

[merry stirrup]

i didn’t do ram hardly at all

or anything

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah my ram sucks because i’m not patient enough

just set primaries and rrd and faw and left it

[pure garnet]

apex actually does a 4k bios

very nice motherboard so far

my karhu is slower at 8400 than 6400 1:1

that’s kinda funny

[cosmic gazelle]

i found karhu has basically no consistency on ddr5 when i used it

[pure garnet]

speed goes up when faster

[cosmic gazelle]

just failed the last exam of my undergrad lfg 🔥

[wise bear]

I got an antenna

[hoary hatch]

AM radio goes hard

[wise bear]

it goes to 3ghz

I'm also looking at hackrf ones

[steel stream]

what class

[cosmic gazelle]

healthy aging

more of a technical class

[mighty lantern]

Can it be undervolted and overclocked?

[wise bear]

no

[mighty lantern]

Would an AIO improve performance?

[wise bear]

no

[mighty lantern]

Ah, well what's the point.

[smoky orbit]

It’s an antenna istg

[wise bear]

The point is miles-long reception and I can transmit on it

[mighty lantern]

No way?

[wise bear]

yeah it's a $150 antenna lmao

25-3000MHz

[mighty lantern]

Looks like $200, at least.

[wise bear]

I mean it was 200 with the mounting pole and extensions

[mighty lantern]

I've helped program a bunch of radios for one of my brothers, cool stuff

[wise bear]

I gotta put in a grounding pole for earthing the lightning arrestor

[mighty lantern]

I was just joking, sorry in a mood.

Yeah, lighting make things go boom.

[wise bear]

nah I knew you were joking around you're gucci

[mighty lantern]

Gucci gucci mang

[wise bear]

BUT YEAH im super excited

Next antenna is gonna be a GOES dish

https://www.amazon.com/Nooelec-GOES-Weather-Satellite-Bundle/dp/B08HGQXC7C

I can also now communicate with aircraaaaft (highly illegal do not do it unless permitted and licensed)

[steel stream]

FAA don't play

[wise bear]

FCC don't either

I gotta set up a shortwave antenna too

[smoky orbit]

(As long as you don’t transmit they can’t know you’re listening)

[wise bear]

well yeah rx is no issue

[young void]

Remade my logo in 3d

[wise bear]

Also that antenna on LoRa or GMRS is gonna be nutty

[late atlas]

ive told poignee this already but is it worth risking buying an oled thats £250 cheaper but b grade

it has 6 months warranty on it, but they do warn you

oled panels are sensitive, so is it worth the risk

what do you guys think

£250 price difference

cause like ive asked about this monitor before and i still want it after like a week of sleeping on it, and im deadass about to buy it tomorrow if the risk if worth it

[steel stream]

as an owner of a used OLED, that message spooks me out ngl

[late atlas]

its from a very reliable like idk how you call it, website/seller

overclockers.co.uk they have a very good reputation

but it does obviously give you this warning for a reason, and the price difference IS MASSIVE

i mean, i can just get it and send it back, right?

6 months warranty

[steel stream]

yeah

[smoky orbit]

Make sure, if you can I think it’s worth the gamble, if you can’t, unless you have 656£ to throw at the wall, it’s not worth it

[late atlas]

i mean i do but like obviously the best case scenario is for me to end up with a working monitor for the long term

if the b grade is because it has missing cables from the box and has a scratch on the back, thats fine

[burnt socket]

[cosmic gazelle]

pfft bet it doesn’t even have e cores

[burnt socket]

is qled that bad over oled

[merry stirrup]

2 hours left

i think i’ll beat my pc speed build pr today or tomorrow

got a nice 36 minute one without rushing at all

sub 30

[cosmic gazelle]

floppa ima have a bachelors degree in 4 days you should tell your si to hire me as their fitness consultant

[merry stirrup]

sounds good

if you were local i would’ve already suggested you work with me

[cosmic gazelle]

don’t you live in like montana or some shit

[merry stirrup]

oregon

[cosmic gazelle]

ah

never been there heard they have lots of heroin

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

anyways i doubt id get paid more by them at a job im unqualified for than at one i am

my degree is in kinesiology not cs

[merry stirrup]

idk if you can build a computer you’re pretty qualified

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m one of those buff nerds that women say they want until said buff nerd is actually a nerd

[merry stirrup]

yeah i’m hardly a nerdy person aside from the computing part of my hobbies

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a gf im not that word that boat just blocked

[merry stirrup]

i talk like a straight moron nobody would ever guess

[cosmic gazelle]

kind of insane that that word is blocked

someone must have struck a nerve at some point

[pure garnet]

it comes with the carti fandom

[merry stirrup]

this is true

[cosmic gazelle]

im probably more of a nerd personality wise than you because i love talking about nutrition research and shit lol

[merry stirrup]

i also dress alternatively/very dark as well idk most people don’t know until i mention

[smoky orbit]

can be used as an isult, I wonder if foid (a term used by them to describe women is a pejorative way)

[cosmic gazelle]

my gf thought she was getting a dumb powerlifter guy and is now living the nightmare of dating a computer hoarder

[smoky orbit]

fuck, it's not censored

[merry stirrup]

same bro

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean it is an insult by virtue of the term itself

[vestal granite]

people never guess that i Do Tech because im tall and have good posture

[merry stirrup]

i have a tote or two of motherboards in boxes 😭

[smoky orbit]

yeah, I tried to explain for the modo pov, for some reason

[cosmic gazelle]

she asked me recently to name off all the working computers i own

[merry stirrup]

too many

[cosmic gazelle]

i got to 10 and stopped because i was making a fool of myself

[merry stirrup]

exactly

[vestal granite]

i recently installed bazzite on a junk laptop so i can afk fish in a video game more efficiently

[pure garnet]

my closet is just motherboards now

[merry stirrup]

people ask me all the time “how many do you have” or “how many have you built”

atp i just say think of a number

[cosmic gazelle]

how many have you built is a hard question because like

how many test benches do i have that are a ship of theseus where each part has been removed and replaced at some point

[merry stirrup]

i rely on like 6 of them every day

[merry stirrup]

i have built: a lot

more than most people who are nerds will have in their life in the last 6 hours

[cosmic gazelle]

lemme tell ya tho i don’t drink but knowing how to make your buddies pcs way faster is a one way ticket to free beer town

[vestal granite]

simple math, if u have swapped out a GPU 100 times, u have stocked that stat up so now if u build all of a PC except for the GPU it counts as 1 PC built to your total

[merry stirrup]

this is true

and the green stuff which i prefer myself allegedly

[vestal granite]

money?

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah money

[merry stirrup]

sure

[cosmic gazelle]

definitely what he meant

[merry stirrup]

yep

[vestal granite]

oh youre oregon

so youre talking about doing doobies

[cosmic gazelle]

he’s in oregon so he probably has some black stuff in a 50 meter radius

[wise bear]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man2-spider-man-j-jonah-jameson-tobey-maguire-peter-parker-gif-26416399

[vestal granite]

dont do doobies

[pure garnet]

floppa my case fan is actually going crazy on ram temps

[wise bear]

did i just fucking

[merry stirrup]

smoking fat doinks in amish

[vestal granite]

naw it just took a sec

[merry stirrup]

56c 😭

[smoky orbit]

frankie, lulu and unamed (for now)

[wise bear]

oh ok

[pure garnet]

this is just a case fan mounted up top

i was almost 70c before i moved it from “high” to “ultra high” with no sound difference

[vestal granite]

just list off the hostnames on your network next time

[merry stirrup]

your aio is front mount?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[frank cypress]

now custom loop just the ram

[merry stirrup]

don’t fit?

[frank cypress]

you bought an apex so you might as well now

[pure garnet]

😭

[cosmic gazelle]

i have

main laptop
server laptop
chromebook
core 2 duo laptop
macbook air
multiple dell prebuilts that are all in pieces

main pc
three test benches
mini pc

the number changes quite honestly multiple times a day

[pure garnet]

not in non xl no

[merry stirrup]

i have too many to know off memory

[pure garnet]

it’s this be quiet fan though

[frank cypress]

just think of the potential

[merry stirrup]

gosh you gotta get some proper fans

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s a very aesthetically pleasing setup you have theee

[merry stirrup]

apex is so nice to look at

[pure garnet]

how are a12x25s not proper fans

[smoky orbit]

nicey

[cosmic gazelle]

i didn’t know people actually used dimm.2 cards

[merry stirrup]

okay fine matching good looking fans

[merry stirrup]

shawty need to

[pure garnet]

you only get 1 nvme on apex before it chops off your gpu lanes

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s dumb

[pure garnet]

all the chipset ones are on dimm.2

[cosmic gazelle]

is there a real reason for that

[merry stirrup]

IO

[pure garnet]

x870e mandating usb that eats 4 lanes

[cosmic gazelle]

oh yeah that makes sense actually

[merry stirrup]

yeah it’s annoying

[vestal granite]

also good for space innit

[pure garnet]

so far my apex is everything i wanted the ocf to be

[merry stirrup]

i wonder if your ocf is just actually bad

[pure garnet]

nah the bios just sucks

[merry stirrup]

well did you use 3.12 TOL03?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

you get it

that’s the good bios tho

[pure garnet]

this boards bios light shuts off when the board is off

[merry stirrup]

or you just mean in general

[pure garnet]

in general

asrock is just missing a lot of basic stuff for whatever reason

[merry stirrup]

garbage

i’m fine with my ocf personally honestly but it is a very buggy and annoying board sometimes

[teal orbit]

@pure garnet do you have 10 GbE

[topaz veldt]

Heh so ... up and running - 2PB of NVMe all flash, blah blah, but core temps on storage nodes was 77-80C. I found that default fan PWM was like 19%. Had facilities add high-flow floor tiles. Helped like 2-3C. Systematically programmed all host to run a fan offset of "medium" so that lowest PWM of fans is 62% and now we have 47-50C core temps

[pure garnet]

local

[teal orbit]

do you just have unmanaged switches

[topaz veldt]

I use unmanaged switches

[teal orbit]

i can't be caught upgrading to worse hardware than my peers

[teal orbit]

idk those cables look pretty managed to me

[vestal granite]

alright im gonna say it

[low sorrel]

The n word?

[vestal granite]

fibers shouldnt be called cables they arent cables they are tunnels of light they are tunnels not cables

[low sorrel]

Oh

[vestal granite]

also acceptable is "tubes"

[low sorrel]

What about line

[vestal granite]

imagine the world we could live in, the fiber lines are tubes.

internet tubes

[low sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-pneumatic-pneumatic-tubes-beavers-dam-gif-17251710

[frank cypress]

i don't have more ddr5 baords

Tom, as in Tom cat

Might get it or wait for 18

[merry stirrup]

VERY nice brother

[pure garnet]

i checked the terms vs the mlg and this is way diff

locked in motherboard

[merry stirrup]

quite good innit

[pure garnet]

who knew the secret solution this whole time was to buy the flagship mem oc board

[merry stirrup]

😭

[steel stream]

impossible

[turbid berry]

Google please update your mobile version of https://calendar.google.com because this website has not been update since 2010😭

[pure garnet]

now back to battling the mpower

[merry stirrup]

the issue is brave realistically

[turbid berry]

Blame YouTube ads that are literally ads for corn

[merry stirrup]

targeted ads are crazy

[turbid berry]

Oh yah btw Im 14

Like 9 when I got brave

[merry stirrup]

probably breaks tos

[smoky orbit]

I get random ass gambling ads, never gambled, never will, the worst is on the tv app

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup do you know why my 7800x3d at 8000 would be faster than my 9800x3d at 8400 in karhu

it's like 20mb/s faster

cache enabled on both

[merry stirrup]

can i see timings?

[pure garnet]

these haven't changed

[merry stirrup]

tRFC, tRDWR

oh you have fpu stress on

lol

[pure garnet]

oh

does that weaken the test

[merry stirrup]

well its adding a larger cpu load

idk its making it less valid or not

i would imagine yes because your dimms are probablly not running as high of wattage

but that only matters for heat(?)

[pure garnet]

goodbye almost 4 hours

it's comparable so far now but it doesn't stabilize till like 100%

[merry stirrup]

they usually increase speed slowly for the first ~15 minutes

[pure garnet]

oh my "fix" for the 7800x3d (cope) is i disabled pbo now

maybe i degraded my cores with the winter benches or something and motherboard limits were causing issues

[merry stirrup]

idk bro thats a stretch even for 7000 x3d

degrading running pbo & doing benchmarks?

[pure garnet]

well i went ham with the eclk so it's possible something did not enjoy it

[merry stirrup]

that is true ig

[pure garnet]

it's quite possible that the mpower was also just juicing the chip at motherboard limits too hard and it was crashing too

[merry stirrup]

not certain

[hoary hatch]

Plugged the steam controller into the pc

[merry stirrup]

kaboom

[hoary hatch]

Pretty much

After the puck updated the steam controller just spent like 15 seconds spamming dpad directions

[frank zealot]

Fucking BRILLIANT

She got Dat fancy ass transparent screen

[hoary hatch]

Okay pinging the controller is fun

[merry stirrup]

why are controller updates real

[hoary hatch]

I had to connect a cable to update it

Pretty sure my Xbox controller can update wirelessly

[smoky orbit]

alr, who's the fucker that used ai for the ad

[brisk jolt]

ive already come to terms mine is a turd long ago

[pure garnet]

you just need an apex fr

[brisk jolt]

nah if anything I want a white 4dimmer that doesnt both suck and doesnt cost a 5070 lmao

[frail beacon]

Why's there controller updates 😭

[topaz veldt]

Also @green marsh I get why skills are amazing now

[smoky orbit]

(new features, bug fixes, efficiency updates)

[frail beacon]

Does it work directly on Windows btw (assuming you are using Windows)

[frail beacon]

well.. ig yeah it makes sense

[frail beacon]

windows 11 can now be used entirely with just the controller btw
and the lock screen is really easy to get through if you have the hello pin setup. Password is also fine but typing it takes more time using the controller

[hoary hatch]

I uhhhh immediately launched steam

I have no non steam game that I would want to use with a controller

Ohhhhh, maybe Star wars outlaws?

[frail beacon]

uhh wait

Go to task view

and you should be able to move left and right in it using the controller

The on screen keyboard can also be used using the controller

[hoary hatch]

This works *steam is running fwiw

[frail beacon]

Ah yeah maybe that's why. If steam is running it might work ig

[hoary hatch]

well I do not have time to extensively test the steam controller right now, unfortunately

[frail beacon]

That's alright

If there's any reason for you to open xbox or some other launcher, then please test it out.

Going to a café at 9pm goes hard

I graduated this past weekend

[hoary hatch]

I'm sorry

[arctic bronze]

Na, im glad to be done

Im ready to start doing shit

Those 4 years was boring af

This is my total gpa

[hoary hatch]

My gpa started with a 3 that's all that matters

[arctic bronze]

Lol

I was so close to getting highest honors at graduation

I only got high honors 😔

[hoary hatch]

I only got high

Why is this beemer yelling at teenagers

[arctic bronze]

Lol

[brisk jolt]

im a singapore student and our average GPA is fkin 2.5 at my current level 💀

[arctic bronze]

2.5 is diabolical

[spiral quarry]

Lol avoiding academic probation is all I care about

But it is hard for me to get a bad gpa at the same time

[arctic bronze]

Same tbh

[fervent chasm]

My high school GPA was a 1.7 when I graduated

[brisk jolt]

i dont understand how american students (i know its other overseas schools respectively) all seem to get 3.5 so easily, its like its a big difficulty diff or smth

[spiral quarry]

Gambling with my grade is my thing.

[fervent chasm]

I think I ended my associates with a 3.2 or something

[arctic bronze]

Literally if you just showed up to class and listened, it was pretty easy to not get an A or B

[brisk jolt]

But I think anyone who gets a GPA below 2.0 here should be publicly executed XDDDDDD

[wraith steeple]

Cs get Degrees

[spiral quarry]

How much of a hit can I take during finals to still pass.

[fervent chasm]

😢

[arctic bronze]

How did you graduate

[brisk jolt]

How many hours in a week for your current curriculum?

[wraith steeple]

No child left behind

[fervent chasm]

You can fail 6 classes at my old high school and graduate

[spiral quarry]

Damn

[arctic bronze]

I did a total of 120 hours, i did an average of 15 hours a semester i believe

[spiral quarry]

Tbf I graduated during covid so things were alot different.

[fervent chasm]

That being said, I had a low GPA because I didn’t feel like doing homework, i aced tests and quizzes

[arctic bronze]

I graduated in 2022

[brisk jolt]

quite literally thats half of mine

[elder shoal]

Should I get the Logitech x2 Suoperstrike or the Raver Viper V4 Pro? I really only play Fortnite and Siege kinda competitively.

[arctic bronze]

From highschool

[spiral quarry]

2021 for me

[wraith steeple]

[arctic bronze]

Wdym, 120 hours is the hours for a bachelor's

[fervent chasm]

2024

[brisk jolt]

WHAT

[arctic bronze]

Yes

Its not literally 120 hours

[fervent chasm]

Yah, it’s like 60-70 hours for an associates

[teal orbit]

Are you asking about literal amount of hours in a week

[fervent chasm]

I think my associates was 68 credit hours

[brisk jolt]

dawg ur education system seems helluva easy

in a week we have 30 hours in total

yours you can still juggle a job

[arctic bronze]

Different system most likely

[fervent chasm]

I think our “hours” work different

[teal orbit]

credit hours are different

[spiral quarry]

Hell of a different system compared to Singapore.

[brisk jolt]

How many subjects per term? We here mainly get 3 covering both Practical Assessment and Theory

[fervent chasm]

3 credit hours is like the average for the course for a semester in the US

[arctic bronze]

I dis 5 classes a semester

[teal orbit]

That's like equivalent I think

[fervent chasm]

How many is it to be considered full time student, 12?

[arctic bronze]

15

[teal orbit]

Yes

[fervent chasm]

That’s too high

[teal orbit]

At most schools its 12

[arctic bronze]

For those with scholarship, i mean

[spiral quarry]

Ah

[arctic bronze]

My bad

[fervent chasm]

I’ve never seen that for a scholarship

[spiral quarry]

I was gonna say I've worked with 12 units my entire time.

[fervent chasm]

I had 3 scholarships across my 2 years and they’ve all required 12, so it’s just gonna depend on the terms

[spiral quarry]

There were times where I did do 15, but wanted to end myself near the end of the semester.

[brisk jolt]

When you put in perspective that you only do 12 hours compared to our average of 30 Im not feeling so bad comparing average 2.5 gpa vs 3.5

[arctic bronze]

The big ones normally have requirements, like you need 15 hours minimum and need to keep a 3.75 gpa minimum

[fervent chasm]

12 credit hours vs 30 of your hours, you gotta see how they convert

[cosmic gazelle]

15 isn't really that bad

[arctic bronze]

30 hours for us is literally impossible, ur doing lile 10 classes

[fervent chasm]

Oh yah 1 us credit hours is like 2 hours for Singapore

[spiral quarry]

Depends on the class, fitting in an easy 5th class works.

[brisk jolt]

15 is practically having the capability to actually juggling a job

[arctic bronze]

Its normal yeah

[fervent chasm]

No it’s literally 1:2 so just imagine 15 in the US is 30 in Singapore

[cosmic gazelle]

i would say 15 with a job is pretty challenging if you have any modicum of a life outside of work and school

[brisk jolt]

I tried that for a month once with my 30hr sch week and it WAS HELL

[spiral quarry]

Lol I am only doing 9 units (3 classes) in the fall.

[cosmic gazelle]

i never worked full time while being in school at the same time but i also don't have any online classes in my program, if they were online things would be different

[fervent chasm]

I took 4 courses during the summer semester never again

[spiral quarry]

Damn production related electives have a pre-requisite class so I gotta get that out of the way before I can even take them.

[fervent chasm]

Its half the time to do the same amount of work

So it’s like the workload of 8 courses

[cosmic gazelle]

at my school we're only allowed to take 2 because it's too much work to do 4, you have to attend classes every day

[arctic bronze]

My last semester was 3 classes, it was the capstone, a datacenter management class and my network Practicum class

[fervent chasm]

I took them online so it made it easier

I got my associates entirely online

I only went physically to talk to financial department about some stuff

[brisk jolt]

I used to be like a GPA 2.2 guy back in like 2022-2023 ngl

[spiral quarry]

Production 1 is gonna be my enemy but ima just power through it.

[arctic bronze]

Nice, mine was in person, i got my associates in IT then i got a random associates in General education (I didn't sign up for it) then i recently got my bachelor's in IT Networking and Security

[fervent chasm]

Didn’t you say you have a 2.5

[brisk jolt]

i said average is 2.5
currently im at 2.8

[fervent chasm]

Oh

[arctic bronze]

Cinema gonna be easy, mine was watch movies then answer like 5 questions per movie

[spiral quarry]

Sucks because I transferred and only two thing transferred so I am stuck redoing essentially everything.

[fervent chasm]

I thought about going to Uni to get a bachelors but I decided to just look for work

[cosmic gazelle]

i think my final gpa in my entire undergrad will be about 3.5, i'm submitting my last assignment tomorrow

[fervent chasm]

I’m getting bored at home

[brisk jolt]

theres VERY few students who have even maintained above 3.0 here

[cosmic gazelle]

where do yo ugo

[brisk jolt]

like we’re talking at least half the class is 2.5 and below

[arctic bronze]

Student loans suck ass ngl, thats probably a good choice, wait till you get to where work will pay for it for you

[spiral quarry]

Wish that can be said, I got the worse prof to deal with. Only one available.

[cosmic gazelle]

that or just go to a local school

[fervent chasm]

I would never take on debt for school lol

[cosmic gazelle]

my entire undergrad cost me like 8 grand

[fervent chasm]

When I was in college I was getting paid $1.2k per semester after all my aid covered tuition

[arctic bronze]

My debt is 80k :/

[brisk jolt]

my 2 years of this course cost me $18/year

[fervent chasm]

Yah I can’t do that

I’d rather work a few years hard labor than worry about tuition costs

[cosmic gazelle]

what program are you in setsuna

[arctic bronze]

Yes, smart choice, a 2 year is plenty to get you into the door

[brisk jolt]

i heard merica is abysmal for this

im currently in business information technology

[cosmic gazelle]

i feel i have to reiterate that with the exception of medical degrees and grad school, 80k is not necessary to attain a bachelors degree

[fervent chasm]

I was getting $20/hour cash working carpentry

[cosmic gazelle]

also like, where i'm at 2 year degrees are as good as sticking a finger up the interviewer's ass and wiggling it around

but that's just the way the us is idk

[fervent chasm]

When you’re young and no bills, 20/hr is good

[brisk jolt]

theres no part time here that pays even half of that after currency exchange

not to mention 30hr sch weeks

[fervent chasm]

Well I’m in an area that just pays hard labor better

Around Chicago it’s just better

[brisk jolt]

the average pay here during weekdays is 12SGD and 20% of that goes into a 401k

[cosmic gazelle]

if you work for a union blue collar job in the us you have to work in that field for like 10 years before you actually start getting paid a livable wage in 40 hours

[fervent chasm]

You shouldn’t work union then

[arctic bronze]

If i get this job i did an interview for (and a year long interview with), i should start at arouns 23/hr

[cosmic gazelle]

non union jobs treat you like shit and don't provide good healthcare

[fervent chasm]

My father worked union and had enough of the horrible pay, started his own carpentry business

[cosmic gazelle]

starting your own business is good yes but is also hard so it's a tough choice

[arctic bronze]

23/hr with free health care, and they pay me for my miles driven

[fervent chasm]

That’s good for starting

[arctic bronze]

I live in a state where things is way cheaper too

[cosmic gazelle]

pretty sure i'm getting like 25-30/hr straight out of college but i live in california so that's not much

[fervent chasm]

Ouch

How’s the $10 gas

[cosmic gazelle]

lol

[fervent chasm]

Idek what it’s at there

[cosmic gazelle]

paid the equivalent of around $5.50 today

[arctic bronze]

Premium is 5 bucks here now 😭

[fervent chasm]

Is this the populated areas or no

[arctic bronze]

It used to be mid 3

[fervent chasm]

I saw some videos showing $10+ in the overpopulated cities

[arctic bronze]

I live in a town with a population of 200

[cosmic gazelle]

that's never really been true tbh, people just fine one single gas station with stupid ass prices and make it a news headline

[fervent chasm]

Well that explains it

[cosmic gazelle]

gas stations in LA aren't really any more expensive than they are here

[brisk jolt]

So basically what Im hearing is that your stuff is easier to work for but the bad thing is you get shitload of debt whilst mines the opposite

[fervent chasm]

This is state averages

But the $5 is basically spot on for me

[cosmic gazelle]

mmy stuff is easier to work for and i went to a state school and have 8k of student loans to pay back and then i'm debt free

[fervent chasm]

It’s not impossible to go to school and not rack up debt

[cosmic gazelle]

quite possible in fact

[fervent chasm]

You have a lot of chances for financial aid

[cosmic gazelle]

community college covers your first two years and is practically free most places

[brisk jolt]

tbf I have financial aid and im in a community college equivalent but even so the payment for 1 year normally is only like 400SGD

[fervent chasm]

My cousin is going into physical therapy, she said it’s $60k/year and the first 2 years she has covered because she did good grades wise

[cosmic gazelle]

well yeah but physical therapy school is grad school

that's different

also physical therapists make a lot so it's fine

[fervent chasm]

She didn’t pay a lick of undergrad either because of volleyball full ride

[cosmic gazelle]

yegch

[fervent chasm]

Tons of options available

[cosmic gazelle]

volleyball girls all fell into a particular demographic in my area

i won't tell you which one i'm sure you can extrapolate

[fervent chasm]

No clue lol

[arctic bronze]

Regular is 3.90 what ever bucks for me

[fervent chasm]

That’s low

[arctic bronze]

Thats stupid expensive for us lol

Its normally like 3.10 or 2.90 lol

For basic 87 oct

[brisk jolt]

I take a BMW

50 cents per ride after subsidised from concession pass

[hoary hatch]

this is why costco exists

[cosmic gazelle]

costco is the same damn price here

[fervent chasm]

My Costco is for hotdogs

[cosmic gazelle]

it's stupid

[hoary hatch]

costco is 40 cents cheaper than state average here

[fervent chasm]

And pizza

[hoary hatch]

at one of the most expensive costcos for gas in oregon

[arctic bronze]

Bro i paid 10 bucks to fill up my bike 😭😭😭

[fervent chasm]

So like 3 gallons

[arctic bronze]

1.55
