wow the fake city of tarkov had a million people before the conflict happened

im watchin like a lore recap because this game is too much to keep up with lore wise

[cosmic gazelle]

damn a million people who all had 24gb of ram to load their city in with

[arctic bronze]

Now go to labs

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s like 24 million gb of ram

[livid flame]

You can still get 24gb ram

[merry stirrup]

yeah but DDR3 and 750Ti lol

[cosmic gazelle]

titan black bud we’ve graduated

do i even try tarkov on the 6300

i feel like it wouldn’t even launch

[merry stirrup]

probably not worth playing it but it could be a fun 2 minutes of laughing

bro watching some people's poor computer play tarkov is hilarious

these guys are on like 1600s or 2600s and i commend their willingness to play garbage

no hate to slower computers, just tarkov is one of those games where it runs bad even on modern hardware so i cant comprehend much worse

[cosmic gazelle]

it would probably play like reserve

i feel like reserve is one of the lighter ones these days

[merry stirrup]

yeah make it load streets tho

and use a real scope

@cosmic gazelle link your 6300 subs

[steel stream]

Those are the best players

[keen solstice]

unironically me in 2014

my a8-6600k system got a 750ti and boy did I play a lot of just cause 2 on there

@indigo walrus cpu upgrade for you

[frank cypress]

@indigo walrus

oh

[indigo walrus]

What, do I look like I'm made of money? That CPU uses scoket FCLGA1851 and needs DDR5 memory.

[frank cypress]

nah but thats mad fucking cheap

unironically I could make use of it

[low sorrel]

yes, you drive a subaru

[frank cypress]

cause im running 4x32gb

[low sorrel]

how much have you spent fixing your boxer engine again?

[frank cypress]

hmm ive been toying with a kinda bad idea but this is making me very tempted

[indigo walrus]

Yes, but it's not an expensive SubUwU, and it was made after the head gasket go boom models. (FB20B engine.) The Crosstrek isn't exactly an "expensive" / bougey model.

[frank cypress]

wonder if he'd be willing to ship it

gahhh I gotta snap out of it

this is how I ended up with 3 pcs

🥀

[low sorrel]

but head gasket go boom models look cool

why is there no like 500 dollar beater cars that "run" and "drive" for sale anymore

[frank cypress]

unironically, covid

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

this is the reason and you should

[frank cypress]

oh

[low sorrel]

i mean thats a US thing

[merry stirrup]

shhh still blame it

cash for clunkers was awful

"hey guys we'll give you a couple bones for these cars and we're gonna recycle absolutely nothing"

hurrr

[frank cypress]

sounds like big auto sorta scheme

[merry stirrup]

ding ding ding

bro figured it out within seconds and he doesnt even live here

US auto market wasnt doing good so they started cash for clunkers to encourage more people to buy new cars

[low sorrel]

happened during the finanical crisis and to help the US auto market not go boom

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[low sorrel]

funnily enough it was the toyota corolla that was the biggest winner lol

"fusion 360 is easy"

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup is this a good enough 2dpc board for 5500 ram oc

[merry stirrup]

[devout ridge]

The beautiful LED Baseplate for the spotlight model

[brittle trellis]

It is

[devout ridge]

Yeah ik, i'm just messing around with how much god damn annotation it auto generates

I have experience with CAD through VectorWorks, so switching to Fusion360 is a bit of an adjustment, but i think i'm getting the hang of it

[floral spear]

weird looking dog

[cosmic gazelle]

this is one of my favorite new features i hope they keep switching it up and adding aftermarket cars

[frank cypress]

been meaning to learn a cad program for 3d modeling purposes 🤔

but i'd probably do plasticity cause iirc that one is a lil more artist focused or something

[devout ridge]

Yeah i’m very much a function first kind of guy, so fusion360 suits me well

[low sorrel]

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt and here we go, people thinking the usage rates they had were going to last (or prices) 😄

Google updated its $20 monthly AI Pro plan on May 17, 2026, replacing daily prompt limits with compute-based caps that factor in query complexity, features like video generation, and chat length. Limits refresh every five hours with a weekly cap, giving Pro users four times the free tier's allowance, but many report hitting them quickly during coding or research sessions. Subscribers lament losing 1,000 monthly AI credits and face fallback to lighter models, prompting cancellations from developers who still value the bundled 5TB storage and YouTube Premium Lite.

Some random brand I got a monitor from

2560x1440p 75Hz for $125

[nova patrol]

why not higher hz

[civic reef]

[fleet marsh]

thats the cheapest ddr5 laptop on ebay lol. and anywhere else iv looked

[fleet marsh]

would be going into my msi katana 15. the 16gb in it now says maxed out while litterly doing nothing

[nova patrol]

i bought 9 16gb laptop sticks for 18$ each during rammagedon

msi katana🥀

[fleet marsh]

it does ok...... has the 4070 super. overall.... a little on the slow side. i replaced the nvme with gen 4s. but i think it needs the ram upgrade badly. it stays around 80-90% ram useage at any givin time. even if i go in and shut things down on task manager

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-me-gif-19259515

[fleet marsh]

pretty much yea

[nova patrol]

msi katana especially

[nova patrol]

what cpu

[fleet marsh]

mine dont run hot though... i use throttlestop. things runs steady 60c

i7-12650H

[nova patrol]

60 on load would be super low for gaming laptop

[fleet marsh]

yea on load

[brisk jolt]

why not 70c lol

[nova patrol]

thats very low

[fleet marsh]

throttlestop is great for laptops

[nova patrol]

70-75 would give you more performance

[turbid locust]

I hope gigabyte goes under as an entire company

[merry stirrup]

i told you that gigabyte boards have a terrible bios

[brisk jolt]

LOL

[fleet marsh]

i like my gigabyte motherboard....

[merry stirrup]

coulda bought hte VC for 150$ and gotten 8400+

[nova patrol]

gigabyte bios wouldnt let me disable non x3d cores on 7950x3d

[fleet marsh]

specially their RMA service..

[fleet marsh]

it do ok for gaming ???? dont want to pay 300-400 for ram lol.

[nova patrol]

its 4800mhz

[turbid locust]

gigabyte bios idles my cpu at 100W

[nova patrol]

no timings set

[trim agate]

evga

[turbid locust]

this shit is going straight back to Bezos idgaf

I’m SO GLAD I get to do ANOTHER motherboard swap dude WOOHOO

[trim agate]

motherboard swap i love rebuilding my entire computer

[nova patrol]

my gigabyte got burn marks too

[fleet marsh]

just get a 9600x.. no burn marks for anyone on any kind of board

[nova patrol]

9600x is ahh

[trim agate]

you're looking at GOFATOO 4800mhz 32g memory btw

you have no say of what parts to get

[nova patrol]

im gonna pair it with a 7800x3d

[nova patrol]

trust bro 4800mhz bigger number than 3200mhz

cl 48 higher number too

[fleet marsh]

mhmm

if yall kind find better im open to suggestions lol

[nova patrol]

something local maybe

[fleet marsh]

ppl in my area are..... over pricing everything. im seeing gtx 960s for 200... last i looked 32gb 4800 was going around 300-400 🙁

next best thing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/188103414722?

[turbid locust]

they been delidded bro

[merry stirrup]

😭 block time

[turbid locust]

tbh I was still having the freezing issue on jedec no PBO

either FH6 is cursed or the most recent Nvidia drivers are ultra dog ass

[merry stirrup]

get one of the thermaltake ram+cpu aios and only use it on ram

[turbid locust]

Please elaborate

[merry stirrup]

https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-cl-w271-pl12sw-a/p/1YF-001G-002F8?

[nova patrol]

😭

[turbid locust]

word.

[spiral quarry]

Oh I forget that stuff exist lol

[nova patrol]

pretty old product too

[turbid locust]

I still think most recent nvidia driver is chopped af

started having black screen boots again. Haven’t had that issue in months.

[frank cypress]

honestly kinda based

a fuck you 240mm rad for your mem 🔥

[rich geyser]

I’m meeting with CompTIA tomorrow, anyone got any questions on their mind?

[brisk jolt]

is ur monthly salary a 5090 a month at least

[rapid kiln]

lol people should start measuring their salaries in PC components

[paper gulch]

Mine is 1050ti

[steel stream]

They must be vibecoding drivers again

[late atlas]

Hell yeah

[south shuttle]

well, better than perma soft brick by a black screen

i’ve had that issue with my 3060 ti when i updated the drivers but you probably heard that from me already like 2-3 times

[south shuttle]

is the pump ok?

i’d maybe replace the fans, newer toughair are fine but older ones? idk

but if you don’t mind slightly more noise they’re all going to be fine

[civic reef]

My monthly salary is like a used 2070/S ($150, USD)

If I am greenlit for larger workloads then I can afford an RTX 5050 with tax ($300)

[mortal mantle]

I can confirm that the nvidia drivers are absolutly rubish lately, i had some fps drop after latest update on my rtx 5080, i had to do a clean uninstall, and then instal an older version until they fix this problem

[mortal mantle]

The pump is not bad, there are better options but it depends on your budget, and your case size,

[devout ridge]

Handed the filament and STL's to my prof, so should be printed soon-ish

like 200g of filament, so might take a while

[brisk jolt]

@spiral quarry Im thinkin of grabbin a pair of some motorsport shoes like the puma speedcat

[smoky orbit]

Never drove with motorsport shoes but I’ve raced on my improvised sxs circuit with different shoes and as of rn my used skate shoes are the best feeling ones yet

[smoky orbit]

Damn, how big is the print? And a what infill are you running?

(Percentage and pattern)

[brisk jolt]

i think ill grab a pair when I get the manual setup

[smoky orbit]

[devout ridge]

150mmx50mmx50mm 15% infill

[smoky orbit]

Ohh nicey (said skate used skate shoes (the underside is worse))

[smoky orbit]

Oh oki, makes more sense

[devout ridge]

Yeah it's a pretty big print

Baseplate + Spotlight

[smoky orbit]

Ohh nicey

[devout ridge]

Essentially going to be a mini spotlight

Not bad for my first model ever in fusion360 imo

[smoky orbit]

Next iteration should include a slot to put coloured filters

(Like the “real” spot lights)

[devout ridge]

I don't care enough to add a gel frame

[smoky orbit]

You might need to bore out the small holes inside the indents after it’s printed (depending on the printer’s settings)

[devout ridge]

Hopefully not, but not the worst thing in the world if i have to

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, but it would be cool and show your teacher that your able to iterate

[devout ridge]

It's not a project for a manufacturing class, it's a dumb psychology project

[smoky orbit]

Nah, just take the roughy size drill bit and drill it slowly

[smoky orbit]

A spotlight in psychology?

[devout ridge]

We have to make these little dioramas that "represent our key memories" and then explain how they impacted our personality and made us who we are, lighting design is a big part of my life

The model is vaguely reminiscent of a Soure Four

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/low-battery-interior-design-indoors-clothing-apparel-gif-10630972909682954188

[nova patrol]

should i buy a 7800x3d for 10$ per month for 24 months

[late atlas]

No

[livid flame]

Do you own it at the end?

As that’s like $100 cheaper than out right purchase

Unless they’ve crashed in price and I haven’t noticed

[topaz veldt]

is it 0% interest?

[nova patrol]

yea ofcourse

[livid flame]

If that’s including interest that’s still a good deal

[nova patrol]

it includes interest

[topaz veldt]

is it interest free or including interest

[livid flame]

Cheaper than an outright purchase. Deal rico

[nova patrol]

it would be like 225 without interest

[nova patrol]

it includes interest

[topaz veldt]

I don't want to give people more money than I owe them

[livid flame]

No one does. But at effectively what, a 25ish% saving over out right purchase? Man’s got a steal

[topaz veldt]

it must be used

[nova patrol]

theoretically i can get like 5 then sell them locally for profit and then just slowly pay it off and i will be in profit still

200iq?

[topaz veldt]

Or you could just buy one and pay it off immediately

[livid flame]

Still a good deal on used really too

[nova patrol]

its used yea

[topaz veldt]

oh its used

[nova patrol]

but its from a store

[topaz veldt]

weird

[nova patrol]

so they have multiple

[topaz veldt]

I mean... why not

but they are selling like $250-275 on HWS

by time you ship it you'd make like.... $10

[nova patrol]

where i live they sell for 340+

[topaz veldt]

I mean I guess go for it

I would think they'd have a limit 1 per customer if thats the case

[livid flame]

Maybe on the finance side. Outright purchase probably whoever wants to buy as many as they can?

[nova patrol]

so lots of stores have 1 per person but you can just go to another store and do installments like that with many or theres sellers that sell for a tiny bit more but you can get like 15

[nova patrol]

you can finance 10 i just checked

[livid flame]

Hot Dayumn

[nova patrol]

120$ per month for 24 for 10 7800x3ds

oh and theres also coupon type sales so i can get it down more

6.47 per month for 9600x

[cosmic gazelle]

just got quite the steal

$44 after tax and shipping

@merry stirrup the tier list says this board can do a maxed out 5950x on ambient! nice grab

[pure garnet]

that’s the line of boards the mpower is usually made from

an am4 mpower doesn’t exist but you can larp it

[cosmic gazelle]

there’s 616 subs on it, and there’s 3 versions of the board so more like ~800

that’s not a TON but a decent amount i’d say

people have subbed a bunch of 5ghz 5950x runs on it

[cosmic gazelle]

wow, that's pretty surprising

yoko i'm thinking about using the 4790k setup as my minecraft server but that would require stabilizing a PL1/PL2 limit and an undervolt, how would you stress test transient spikes like that

[steel stream]

Unplug it and replug it back in super fast

[cosmic gazelle]

good ide

[smoky orbit]

They would find a way to somehow get a virus on it (or die cause they played with exposed live wires)

[wheat shore]

https://giphy.com/gifs/jdm-rb26-japanese-car-prEMnCOvRk1yHh0RVO

suprisingly r32s still go for less than supras

[smoky orbit]

Why do you not want to run it stock? It’s a server

[cosmic gazelle]

noise level and power costs money

[smoky orbit]

Which version/trim?

[cosmic gazelle]

If I can run the chip at 70% of the power draw for 85% of the performance that's still a significant gain in efficiency

[pure garnet]

uhh corecycler maybe

[smoky orbit]

Bios often have have low consumption/power “efficient” modes (at least all the my 6th-7th gen intel board do)

[cosmic gazelle]

i'll have to see if my board has it

it's an oc focused board so they might have just said "lol who would want that that's buying this"

[wheat shore]

non nismo gtr goes for 44k, and the base model supra mk4 goes for nearly 55k (atleast the cheapest i see)

[cosmic gazelle]

me when i buy a twin turbo nissan for $44k (i'm going to have to replace the engine within 10 thousand miles)

[smoky orbit]

Damn, both stock or modded?

[wheat shore]

stock, and its alot rarer to find a stock supra

all the supra kids modified their shit

[cosmic gazelle]

You can find stock supras but finding a stock supra with the stock wheels is exceedingly rare iirc

[smoky orbit]

Damn

[steel stream]

Don’t buy Nissans

[smoky orbit]

Non stock wheels is fine, you can probably find a kit or get some good stock looking ones

[cosmic gazelle]

you'd have to buy reps

cheapest supra i could find with the stock wheels is almost 100k

[wheat shore]

hell you can find modified ones for 56-60k depending on whats in there

r32 makes the most sense budget wise for jdm

s2k is overpriced

supra is overpriced

[smoky orbit]

Oof

[pure garnet]

allat for a clapped 6 cylinder

[wheat shore]

subarus and mitsus besides their last few gens are overpriced

[smoky orbit]

Suzuki cappuccino not overpriced (importing it might be atrociously expensive)

[cosmic gazelle]

oh here's one with the original wheels and an extremely ugly spec for $66k sold

[floral spear]

I'm always going to say the same thing for JDM idiots:
-If you're broke and live in america: Get a GT86
-If you're a Europeanm get a Violvo/Look Into Used Markets

[wraith steeple]

Growing up in a Mopar household, buying a JDM was asking for death in my family

[cosmic gazelle]

i was thinking this exactly lol

[wraith steeple]

Was always interested in JDMs

[cosmic gazelle]

you know how cheap it is to spec out a manual, turbo kit + tuned 86/brz gen 1

you could probably be on the road for $30k or less

[wheat shore]

gt86 is also a good option, but most people dont realize g35s and g37s are skylines too

and anything from the q50 and 70 series

[cosmic gazelle]

not everyone wants to drive a car that looks like it got dropped on its head as a child unfortunately

[floral spear]

"Ohhh I want a Silvia with all the fancy rims and great drifting potential dude!" Ok go get a GT86 its basically the S16

[cosmic gazelle]

almost 300 WHP on only 7 PSI?? dude

that thing would be a bullet too they weigh what 2700lbs

[floral spear]

"I want a good AWD to drive around" go get an impreza, good luck fixing it though

[wheat shore]

also you legally need to vape

[cosmic gazelle]

my dad has a forester and i'll be damned if i buy a flat engine that isn't a porsche ever

[floral spear]

look all I'm saying is

[cosmic gazelle]

brz is nice but flat is so hard to work on

[floral spear]

If YOU have the money to be saying all this JDM bullshit

[wheat shore]

isnt gt and brz the same thing?

[floral spear]

then go get the car you want but please be sensible

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah

i was just saying it's the cheapest way to go flying around a race track in a reasonably modern vehicle, but i wouldn't want to work on a car with a flat engine

[wheat shore]

oh i forgot it was a flat 4

[floral spear]

I'm not stopping you from having the wet TOP SECRET dream you have or if you want to LARP as a Y2k Japanese Car Meet Person

[cosmic gazelle]

I have a last gen mazda 3 and i would just contract somebody to turbo kit + trans swap it if i wanted something fast

[floral spear]

But me personally? We are at the good era where you have the GR Lineup, the new GTR and the GR GT which was made with hatred on top so you'll know it's actually good

[wraith steeple]

The AE86 is over glazed (as the cool kids would say)

[floral spear]

Yea it does, when its just an 80s shitbox

[wheat shore]

350z is another good budget car, especially the nismo variants

[wheat shore]

initial d gave people false hopes

now everyone and their mom thinks theyre takumi

[floral spear]

I have a saying

[frank zealot]

it's getting better. (Maybe worse? Not sure which word applies)

[floral spear]

AE86 is getting glazed but there's no one picking up a GT86... curious curious

[wraith steeple]

All because of an anime from the late 90s - early 00s

[frank zealot]

TETSUOOOOOO

[wheat shore]

https://giphy.com/gifs/initial-d-ae86-asvf3-MFtNaosSKDe9bgYsfn

but i think alot of the jdm hype and reason we see pricing how it is now is fast and furious

[cosmic gazelle]

these people piss me off so bad like you are not getting that lil bro

[wheat shore]

like initial d is cool, but fnf ruined sooooo many cars

[devout ridge]

I will indeed, those tiny holes didn’t print

[wheat shore]

trades are the worst

[devout ridge]

granted they are .75mm diameter holes, so i’m not really surprised

[floral spear]

Initial D ruined the JDM Scene so much

We got MOUNT HARUNA in KANAGAWA

[cosmic gazelle]

i need a fool and his ryzen 5 5500 to be soon parted

[wraith steeple]

I haven't seen Initial D in over 20 years

[floral spear]

Can you imagine that

Fucking MOUNT HARUNA in Kanagawa "prefevture"

[wheat shore]

fnf really shifted stuff up, even cars with small cameos in the original 3 movies were fucked up in price

[floral spear]

Its why im still disappointed in FH6

Ignore the fact I have 16 hours deep in that game just driving

[frank zealot]

touge isnt that bad, its like how top gear drove on tight mountain roads

[wheat shore]

GET AWAYY

[wraith steeple]

Aghhhhh

flashbacks starts

[wheat shore]

this gotta be the funiest anime car OAT

[brisk jolt]

Im literally in a GT86

[floral spear]

Its not bad just leaves so much to be desired

Anyways this is my favourite screenshot rn

[wheat shore]

fh6 was really released in japan so that xbox didnt die

they new the games werent desirable so they gave car fans what they wanted

[floral spear]

All im sauing is

[brisk jolt]

summer just loaded damn

[floral spear]

It could've been executed so much better

Idk how FH Expansiom Packs work since i only played 1 2 3 when theyre dead already

[wheat shore]

true, but then again, its microsoft, the last couple forzas were rushed

[floral spear]

But you could've had the "Gunma Expansion Pack"

Or an Osaka Expansion Pack

[cosmic gazelle]

like bro we cannot be asking $500 for a 9700k and a 1660 😭 sonion 😭

[wraith steeple]

I would love to see a Hokkaido pack

[floral spear]

It just feels like

Forza decided to add every single bullshit for fan service

An all of everything

When they could've just focused on Knagawa then worked on other things

[frank zealot]

Books on Gameboy Carts exist:

[wheat shore]

alot of thats probably priced up by the form factor and how much ram cost now, the 1660 still averages 100 bucks

[wheat shore]

wonder if linus will review that as an ebook alt lmao

but you could also buy older gen kindles for hella cheap

idk why linus never mentioned that in the ebook vid

[floral spear]

Anyways I should remain on Extreme, High Graphics did my R32 Dirty

[wheat shore]

looks like a gt7 edited pic

yk how they edit cars into irl scenes

[floral spear]

No not essllt since I havent played gt7

[floral spear]

That looks nice

[wheat shore]

yeah but they edit the game car into an irl pic esentially

[cosmic gazelle]

sonion 1660 supers are like 80 bucks

and that's a way better card

[wheat shore]

ig it depends

i see em for 120 on ebay

[cosmic gazelle]

i just sorted by "1660" and lowest price and there's one up by someone who's never taken a picture before for $80 + $7 shipping

not a ton of vanilla 1660s tho

[wheat shore]

not to say prices are justified, but people are gonna try to sell it for how much they see the prices for

an itx mobo is already hella expensive

[cosmic gazelle]

locally there's 1660 tis for around 100 and a 1660 for 75

i still think 75 for a 1660 is overpriced

[wheat shore]

fr but aslong as people use em for budget builds its not gonna get cheaper

[cosmic gazelle]

damn tf

there's no working z390 itx boards on ebay for less than 120 dollars

you weren't wrong about the motherboard being expensive

[wheat shore]

even new am4,am5,lga1700,1200, and lga 1851 boards are expensive

[civic reef]

Haiii!!!!

[wheat shore]

for esentially a smaller mobo

which physically doesnt add up

[cosmic gazelle]

phantom i got an a-tier am4 motherboard for 44 bucks this morning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yyEY2qbEqE

the only fh6 review you'll ever need

[wheat shore]

we need simpsons hit and run vs nfs underground

battlefield vs gta

nfs hotpursuit vs mario kart double dash

[steel stream]

Garfield kart

[slim pebble]

I’d expect that out of the 9950X3d2, but not yours. What the heck is going on?!

[wraith steeple]

not sure we got it much better

https://videocardz.com/newz/creative-sound-blaster-ae-x-pcie-sound-card-features-32-bit-384khz-playback

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

Everybody wants a new sound card

[edgy laurel]

gamers proceed to buy, then hook it up to their Logitech 5.1 speakers from 15 years ago over Optical

[steel stream]

Amen!

[frank zealot]

I wish I could say you're wrong.

[steel stream]

Those speakers deserve 32bit384kHz

[edgy laurel]

lemme just buy all this fancy DAC/ADC circuity then bypass all of it and use the digital out

[frank zealot]

Or they use HDMI out

[steel stream]

Last time I tried using 32bit audio it wouldn’t let me play Minecraft

[turbid locust]

Current theory is that this board auto’s C-states off on X3D chips. I’ll figure it out tonight I don’t have time today lol

[manic cloud]

hello

I need tech tips :((

[edgy laurel]

My old Xonar was still cooler. 2-channel focused, great DAC, great heaphone amp.

[steel stream]

I wonder how many people do use HDMI for audio

[floral spear]

Should I get this as an upgrade to the Creative Pebbles or am I delulu?

[edgy laurel]

@turbid locust has MR4's?

[wraith steeple]

Creative still at it after 40 or so years I see

[steel stream]

I’m like 80% certain these will sound way better

[turbid locust]

MR3s and they’re very good for the price

[edgy laurel]

So the ones above, nice

[wraith steeple]

ESS is like the only one (or only couple) survivor(s) from Creative's terror of the 90s-2000s of companies being bought out or driven out

[steel stream]

Ok yeah 98% certain now

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

They’re one of two big dogs in the DAC world now

[south shuttle]

check out mr4, in some placed they go as low as 90 with taxes

[steel stream]

I think the other is AKM

[wraith steeple]

That's nice to see. Their ISA sound cards I would argue were better than what Creative was making during that time. ESFM kicked ass

Despite them being affiliated with budget/cheap systems for their day

Mind you I'm referring to the ES1868/1869 sound cards

[floral spear]

I have a DAC

Its my daily driver ever since I retired rom a Redmagic which has a headphone jack

[frank cypress]

mr3

[frank zealot]

If they're going to a TV and using EARC? A lot.

I do on my HTPC

[frank cypress]

oh, he answered already

whooops

[steel stream]

I mean yeah I know that, I just wonder what that percent is

[floral spear]

Hey enwee

[frank cypress]

[shell void]

nice the CX31993 is perfectly cromulent

[smoky orbit]

Hewowowowowowow

[brisk jolt]

@low sorrel wtf I was offroading and i found a random barn XD

[floral spear]

It did increase the volume for my cadenza so im good with it

[devout ridge]

would there be any issues using ceramic capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors in this circuit?

[steel stream]

The only thing I see is that they gave a specific side for positive and negative

Positive is tied to the emitters, and the neg is tied to the others base

[devout ridge]

basically the blinking circuit, ain’t blinking

[steel stream]

Can you send a photo of the built circuit rq

[devout ridge]

Circuit functions identically with and without caps actually

[sharp heart]

shouldnt C1 and C2 have more capacitance?

[devout ridge]

the LEDs stay lit, no blinking

[sharp heart]

isnt this just blinking so fast that you cant see it?

[devout ridge]

I can try a bigger cap, sure

but the LEDs still illuminate with zero capacitors, so i think the issue is somewhere else

[sharp heart]

i had an issue where the blinking couldnt be seen, but this was with a 555 timer on a pcb

[steel stream]

I’m on mobile so this will take me a second

[topaz veldt]

too big of caps

[devout ridge]

i put in 22pf instead of 22uf

[topaz veldt]

LEDs will stay lit with extremely low capacitance

[devout ridge]

i actually don’t have 22uf on hand, but i just threw in 10uf caps and it works

[topaz veldt]

you can test if its the caps keeping it lit after de-energizing and just short the caps

ya

[devout ridge]

So if i want bigger caps to slow the flicker, can i just put 2 10uf caps in series?

or would it be 2 10uf caps in parallel

[steel stream]

Par

[smoky orbit]

The caps are probably discharging so fast the led might not even have time to stop emitting (wait, no, doesn’t make sense

[devout ridge]

Awesome, works perfectly now

Thank you all

[sharp heart]

yw

[devout ridge]

Turns out if you just read the damn label things are a lot easier

[sharp heart]

what i'm hearing is that that's what kyoko should start dailying

[south shuttle]

it’s 1380 and you’re bulgaria:

[cosmic gazelle]

the thermometer makes this hilarious to me

[devout ridge]

Hooked it up to the wireless circuit so now it can be remote controlled

[pure garnet]

am5 has eclk

well some boards on am5 do

[cosmic gazelle]

oh yeah probably that then

[pure garnet]

i’ve used up to like 112 iirc on mpower

[cosmic gazelle]

why wouldn’t he have done that tho

[pure garnet]

7800x3d has a fused top speed but better chips don’t need as much bclk to go higher

the chips only do like 5.2 max iirc

[cosmic gazelle]

where’d this come from haha

[civic reef]

Idk, thought I'd share a similar image of my own to what you sent

Oh @smoky orbit Did you check in with the office you told me about some time ago?

[brisk jolt]

god i hate forza rubberbanding

[topaz veldt]

You might but my 7 year old loves it and doesn't notice : )

[slim pebble]

Which of your rigs is “his”?

[topaz veldt]

He plays on the family room PC mostly now - X870E Glacial, 9950X3D2, 96GB 6400 CL32, 5090 Master (air)

[smoky orbit]

Not yet, sorgy , I have to find a time where I’m available during the open hours

[slim pebble]

I’ve got the same box, except Dark Hero 😆

Wait I thought your X3D2 couldn’t take 6400? You were pretty heated about it.

[civic reef]

Oh okay
It's fine though, take your time dw :>

[topaz veldt]

Its running at 6000 C28

My 9950X3D2 SFF is running a 96GB 6000 CL28 (expo) kit

[floral spear]

@cosmic gazelle one thing I dislike about FH6 is rhe engine sounds

Its too loud and its not reallt satisfying

Like atp id rather just drive slightly modified cars not really heavily modified ones because it judt sounds like a fucken F1 Car

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean that’s more realistic

just got a 120gb ssd and 8gb ddr3l stick i was looking for for $14 plus like $11 in gas

120gb ssds are like $20 on ebay so still saved a few bucks

[floral spear]

Idk im driving my S1 FC

And its just so unsatisfying to drive

I might detune it to be a 700 A Rank

[cosmic gazelle]

turns out if you straight pipe and heavily rebuild an engine irl is also sounds like an f1 car lol

[slim pebble]

I’m loving the blocked card by the way, Alphacool was the way to go 100%. The Aorus Master loves water, I never had a furmark clock as high as this.

[brisk jolt]

too many cars so the audio gets diluted the more engine upgrades u make

[floral spear]

Yea ill probably detune it since I only want to drive it on the touge

[topaz veldt]

yeah it is solid

[slim pebble]

It’s better than the TUF

[pure garnet]

@steel stream destiny 2 is getting sunset

[steel stream]

That’ll force me to get rid of my addiction

But also

Damn.

@edgy laurel

[hoary hatch]

Does that mean they'll let you visit all locations now

[steel stream]

The Calus boss fight is coming back in pantheon at least

[hoary hatch]

Uhh

Idk what that means

I haven't played since forsaken

[steel stream]

Idk about locations and full raids though

[hoary hatch]

When I wanted to pick it back up I think some of the locations had been removed to keep game size reasonable?

[steel stream]

Yeah

[hoary hatch]

If I want to dedicate a full SSD to it, let me do so

[steel stream]

That was the first “sunsetting”

[edgy laurel]

wait wait wait off to reddit

[steel stream]

That’s going to be hell

holy shit

I was right?

People have got to be flipping their shit

[edgy laurel]

D3 when?

fresh start

[steel stream]

Sorry only Marathon now

[edgy laurel]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/d2_may_21_2026

[steel stream]

Only 50% /s because I don’t know for certain

[steel stream]

If they did do a D3, I’d hope for a story set in the dark ages, before the last city and stuff was really a thing

When all the warlords and shit were happening

[slim pebble]

It’s almost like you know what you’re talking about 😆

[edgy laurel]

but before Guardians?

[edgy laurel]

someone had to do it

[frank zealot]

welcome! 😄

[steel stream]

I mean I think that’s the only solution right?

I guess you could continue the narrative in a new game

I mean the warlords still had ghosts and stuff, they just weren’t guardians, it was everyone for themselves

Idk, that’s just what I think they should do

Maybe have a narrative about the first ever guardian?

[low sorrel]

So @steel stream no more destiny 2 on the weekend?

[low sorrel]

Oh my god

[steel stream]

I mean the last update comes out June 9th so we can play then

[edgy laurel]

I really don't know but the lore is vast, so I'm sure they have something cooking

that whole IP won't die

[steel stream]

Yeah that would be insane

[edgy laurel]

I still want a good show or film

[low sorrel]

So when are they putting out the roadmap

[edgy laurel]

well, now

[low sorrel]

Is it a cliff?

[edgy laurel]

#tech-chat-2 message

[low sorrel]

What's the destiny 2 discord server I wanna see their reactions

[steel stream]

Yeah there’s a little hop and then a real sharp cliff

[steel stream]

I just need another game man

Nothing scratches the itch quite like destiny

[steel stream]

We gotta play this weekend, we have to get you ready for pantheon boss

[low sorrel]

Fine I'll uninstall like 5 games

Isn't destiny 2 like 150gb

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yas-wwe-scream-gif-17625417

[low sorrel]

You know what I should fo

Is there voice chat in destiny 2

[steel stream]

Yes

[low sorrel]

I should go up to people and talk about how I'm new

Pretend I don't know about the sunsetting

[steel stream]

Yeah act like you just got the game and don’t know anything about it

What a great game! I’m sure they’ll release content for years to come!

[cosmic gazelle]

yeesh, it was $5 so can't complain but 63% is pretty low lol

[steel stream]

Jerry we can start off with some fireteam ops and then do a dungeon

If guilty plays we have a full fireteam

[low sorrel]

Last time I played destiny was 2017

I do not understand the words coming out of your mouth

[pure garnet]

they know he’d be lying if he said great game

[steel stream]

Easy 3 player activity -> harder 3 player activity

[steel stream]

Oh true

[pure garnet]

the biggest d2 fan hates it

@steel stream is destiny 2 dying like leaving an abusive relationship?

[steel stream]

@edgy laurel just opened the subreddit, first post I saw “they should have added a dating sim with the npcs”

[steel stream]

I’d say more like some sort of drug? Because I could quit any time I liked

I just didn’t want to

[low sorrel]

Wtf is this @steel stream

[devout ridge]

3d print turned out really well, just needs some work with some sandpaper

Also apparently my prof lost the LED backplate so i can’t even do anything with this print

I need the backplate to even start doing the wiring

[steel stream]

Yup that’s the one

[edgy laurel]

classic reddit.

[steel stream]

D2 has quite the funny community

And by funny I mean probably insane

[edgy laurel]

I'm reinstalling, equipping Mountaintop/Recluse/Anarchy and headed to the Farm

wait, can you still go to the farm

[devout ridge]

First model i’ve ever made, and first 3d print i’ve ever done

[steel stream]

Bad news

[edgy laurel]

shit

[steel stream]

@low sorrel can you find the post with Warren buffet

[steel stream]

You have the tower that’s about it lol

[edgy laurel]

at least the churchyard area on the EDZ?

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

I think player count went up by 5000 after the article today lol

[steel stream]

Yah that’s still there

There’s just no IO, Mercury, Venus

[edgy laurel]

oh good, I need someone familiar

I never did Venus.. or Mercury?

[steel stream]

Oh Venus was never there was it

Mercury was for curse of Osiris

Im thinking of Mars

[edgy laurel]

oh wait I thought that was Mars for CoO lol

i'm all confused

wasn't the one D1 reprisal raid on Venus?

[steel stream]

Yeah Vault of Glass

And we have some renegades content on Venus, but no patrol

Oh we’re missing titan too

[edgy laurel]

damn, Titan..

[frank cypress]

5537 pages is mad

[steel stream]

God I really hope they bring back scourge of the past for pantheon

I’d do anything to play that raid again

[frank cypress]

apparently the complete edition of lotr is like 1k something pages

so thats like.... 5.5~ lotr worth of pages

[steel stream]

Rip, rip

[edgy laurel]

you don't even know how many hours i've spent in those OG patrol areas. dreaming city, tangled shore

That's all I know about it

It's actually really cool how they did it

You should learn about it

[steel stream]

Peter Jackson is making a new movie soon I think

[frank cypress]

I dont think guilty is questioning the forced perspective

I think hes questioning your lack of knowledge about the series aside from that

[low sorrel]

Oh and warhorse is making a game about it

[steel stream]

He’s making another Tintin movie

[edgy laurel]

some would say the greatest film trilogy of all time, not to mention book series

jerry: never heard of it

[edgy laurel]

audiobooks are my favorite thing ever

[steel stream]

Andy Serkis my 🐐

[low sorrel]

Ngl I haven't read a book outside of a textbook or something since pre covid

I used to be really into books pre covid and then I couldn't go to the library

[steel stream]

We can tell

[edgy laurel]

I have an hour commute, so I can tear through audiobooks pretty good lol

[steel stream]

Yeah about 45 min for me

[low sorrel]

Audiobooks are just so boring to me

[edgy laurel]

I really only works for me when i'm doing something else that doesn't require full concentration, which is scary since that thing is mostly driving but you know what i mean

like I couldn't sit at home and listen to an audio book as the only thing i'm doing. the digital age and add has ruined that for me

but if i'm stuck in the car on a highway for an hour, its great

[low sorrel]

Inb4 guilty rear ends a family of 4 because he was too busy listening to his audio book

[edgy laurel]

I've been at it for a decade or more and it hasn't happened yet

and now we have radar cruise 😉

what a great invention

[low sorrel]

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get ACC working on the Audi

It just disconnects after like 10 seconds

[steel stream]

My car stops/slows too late I don’t trust it

[edgy laurel]

certain scenarios i'm hovering over that brake pedal for sure

[steel stream]

Or I should say the car I am currently driving

[low sorrel]

The entire infomatient system also shuts down randomly as well

[edgy laurel]

but for cruising, its fantastic. I hated traditional cruise because everyone else can't just stick to one speed

[steel stream]

Also auto lane correction is the worst

[edgy laurel]

that I don't have at all and i'm grateful

[low sorrel]

I've never had it intervene

[edgy laurel]

the idea of something tugging against me at the wheel is scary

[steel stream]

On the VW I am driving it’s so annoying and oversteers way too much

[low sorrel]

I thought you drove a pathfinder

[steel stream]

It corrects sure, but it corrects too much forcing me to steer back

[steel stream]

My brother had the pathfinder on campus still, I’m at home and using the electric VW we have

Because it dramatically reduces how much I would pay to drive

I drive 60 miles every day

[hoary hatch]

Damn am I glad I never had a real commute

[low sorrel]

How is every single Acura Integra here completely clapped out @edgy laurel

Been casually searching for months and they are all clapped out

[edgy laurel]

like early Integra's? from the 90's/2000's?

[low sorrel]

Yeah

[edgy laurel]

well because its a 90's/2000's Honda lmao

[steel stream]

Yeah my first ever “commute” was like 10-15 minutes, then remote, 5 minutes, and now 45

[low sorrel]

But it's an acura

[edgy laurel]

ehh

my second car was a 97 Integra GS-R

[hoary hatch]

My longest was 30 miles a day

[steel stream]

How long would that take you?

[low sorrel]

Insurance is surprisingly cheap on a Acura Integra

[hoary hatch]

I usually didn't drive in rush hour, so 20-25 minutes

[low sorrel]

It's a little more then a Civic

[hoary hatch]

With bad traffic could be more like 35

[edgy laurel]

back then they were basically just Civic's with slightly more fancy trim

[hoary hatch]

But I haven't driven that in years

[edgy laurel]

and I guess that still holds true with todays model

[hoary hatch]

My current commute is under 10 minutes, only 2.5 miles each way

[low sorrel]

Yeah but I would imagine that the GSR model would have much higher crash rates then a civic

Just because I think the GSR drivers would 100% bin it into a wall more

[steel stream]

Just wasn’t a lot of good internships near my home/college campus so I have to commute

But it’s an easy drive so it’s ok

[low sorrel]

I also dont understand why a early 00s Lexus has 2x the insurance cost of a 00s Corolla

Like I know the Lexus was a luxury car

But like

It's worth like 1500 bucks more

[hoary hatch]

I miss my '96 lexus

Whereas my first car I'm glad is scrapped

[low sorrel]

Akn what car are you gonna buy if your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder completely dies

[steel stream]

El cheapo

[hoary hatch]

Another 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

[low sorrel]

What'd gonna be the el cheapo

[steel stream]

Whatever the special happens to be on Facebook Marketplace that day

[low sorrel]

Does your pathfinder even have fake shifts

[steel stream]

No

[low sorrel]

Or does it sound like an fpv drone on a highway

[steel stream]

I guess more like a drone

[low sorrel]

Oh you had a Honda Integra?

[edgy laurel]

my favorite mod was the OEM S2000 start button retrofitted in and wired up correctly. Dumb kid stuff but I thought it was cool at the time cause the install was clean.

[edgy laurel]

that was just the cool thing to do

[steel stream]

Nice

[edgy laurel]

JDM Honda badges

[low sorrel]

Ok that's kinda cool

[edgy laurel]

still had to put the key in and turn on "on", but further wouldn't do anything. Had to press the button to engage the starter

[low sorrel]

Oh

Less cool

[edgy laurel]

what did you expect on a 97 lol

keyless start??

[low sorrel]

I thought you somehow managed to mod in keyless start

[steel stream]

Self driving

[low sorrel]

I was thinking about how you could even do that

[low sorrel]

Hey a 2008 Lexus has self parking

[low sorrel]

What else did you do to it

[cosmic gazelle]

can anyone help me figure out how much ram this system has

[edgy laurel]

normal ways kids ruin hondas. suspension, exhaust.. tried to build a paint booth in my friends parents backyard and ruined the paint..

i swear the plan was genius. flippin rain ruined everything

[low sorrel]

Why didn't you waterproof the paint booth if you were gonna have it outdoors

[frank zealot]

Hey Guilty....

[edgy laurel]

I can't explain the stupid things I did when I was 18-19

[frank zealot]

all fake rust... why would you cover a car in fake rust?

[low sorrel]

Does it turn your head?

[frank zealot]

Cybertrucks already do in the "Why the fuck does that exist" sorta way

[edgy laurel]

fucker was a full on wire frame "garage" made of 2x4's with the industrial plastic sheeting sealing it in, even had two box fans for intake and exhaust with filters on them

[low sorrel]

I think I would keep mine stock until something major blows up like an engine

[edgy laurel]

but even a little rain doesn't play nice with a flat plastic sheet roof

[edgy laurel]

i'm choosing to ignore this

[frank zealot]

<DMs image and 16 others>

[low sorrel]

I used to really not want a miata

But the more I think about it

The more I want a miata

[steel stream]

Ok honestly I kind of like it

I don’t like the cybertruck, but I think that looks cool

[low sorrel]

I would still rather be dead then driving that

[steel stream]

I mean I don’t want to drive a cybertruck, but if I had to I’d drive the rust bucket

[low sorrel]

Oh so that's why Bungie killed destiny

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/s/x0Rl3Eo2e3

[steel stream]

Yeah

I wonder if the full team is on marathon now, or if some people are a new game

[low sorrel]

I think Bungie cannot support making a new game

[steel stream]

Surely they can’t be looking at marathon and thinking it’ll bring the same level of money in as a destiny game though

Marathon player counts quickly dropped down to D2 counts, and D2 has been running for a decade and was in one of the worst content droughts it’s seen

I’m not saying to axe Marathon, but it shouldn’t be the top priority

[low sorrel]

Imagine if marathon came before arc raiders

[steel stream]

Yeah the launch was too late but C’est La Vie

[low sorrel]

Also why don't they unvault content

[steel stream]

No idea

That stuff was just made for the older engine, and it’s a lot of work to port it I think

It seems like we are getting some content unvaulted (for pantheon 2.0) in the form of raid encounters

Hopefully we get the whole raid too but I’m not feeling it

[hasty grove]

is a 7600x3d for 215 tax included worth it?

[low sorrel]

Sure

[vestal granite]

i have a newfoundland appreciation for new slang english words

it makes it very difficult for an LLM to keep up to date enough to impersonate random people convincingly

they just cant talk like the walk talks through me via discord

[steel stream]

Was this sentence generated

[vestal granite]

no

[steel stream]

Idk what that sentence means then

[gray juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-me-think-why-waste-time-trick-few-word-gif-5099719

[hoary hatch]

Yes
Better than a $350 5800x3d

[steel stream]

Where can I buy GaN E-HEMT merch

[vestal granite]

the sentence walks then talking keeps its rhythm
