I barely did anything in my java course
I forgot to do the last assignment but got an A on the final
So I passed the course
flint bobcat
At least you passed
In college, you only care about passing
Not really about highest grades
trail yarrow
Yup. Got double Cs at first year so I decided screw it, C's gets degrees
We used Wing IDE

harbor freight monoprice monitor arms, i hope these work
stone wave
these say they're rated for like 19 lbs
subtle hawk
hope that model fares better than the one I got
stone wave
and i bought 2 so if one of them can hold my main display
i should be good
cause the other display is a bit lighter
subtle hawk
I'm generally impressed with the stuff I get from monoprice
stone wave
ive only bought cables and shit from them
subtle hawk
they have good cheap cables, and I picked up a drawing tablet from them once too
the tablet is certainly no wacom, but it was pretty good
stone wave
i think i bought a refurb HDD on a whim cause it was dirt cheap and it was DoA but the return was easy
are their shit rebranded huinon
the drawing tablets that is
cause i vaguely remember one looking exactly like a huinon one
stone wave
i had a huinon drawing tablet and it worked pretty well aside from the pen being coated in the sort of rubber that gets sticky over time
subtle hawk
the pen I got from monoprice didn't have rubber anywhere except the grip
stone wave
i think mine might be older, idk
either way i hate rubber coated electronics
cause that shit get sticky as it ages

hm
are there any phones that has flagship phones' SoC but doesn't have its prices inflated by features like camera
any particular reason you need a flagship SoC?
there's always last year / couple years ago's flagships too
hm yeah
I remember those are advertised as gaming phones
I don't know, I think I just like fast processors
AL runs fine in my current phone
it only lags from bad programming
also has decent performance on 3d games
umbral onyx
y'know
@severe falcon You could do a hunting game with that
A randomly generated land
Throw in some monsters with behavior
Like if the area is too crowded they will move in to a diff part of land
Or will attempt to kill each other
subtle hawk
but yeah let's talk about it later when I actually wanted to get a new phone
umbral onyx
And then you throw in the player into the island with the objective of killing a monster of investigate a cause that is messing around with the ecology of the land

i bought some shitty $50 from ebay just now
gonna upgrade it LOL

Even I am taking a degree for game design
flint bobcat
umbral onyx
starting with the letter D
flint bobcat
i already have a laptop
its good enough for my work
i also game with low settings
umbral onyx
Oh god pls don't do that
Alot of effort was made to make a game nice
playing with low is just
flint bobcat
i haven't experienced it yet
thats why im getting this crappy pc and upgrading from there
umbral onyx
flint bobcat
i sometimes play BL2 or L4D2 with friends
umbral onyx
fair enough

I forgot what else
umbral onyx
The other editor I need to make is to handle 2d animation when placed on a 3d background so I can determine what sprites to show at certain cam angle though that is waaaaaay simpler than you think
flint bobcat
I have to use kali for security+ 
violet nexus
Yes
armitage was fun
Good old days
also aircrack - ng
@subtle hawk whatever linux distributor OS
like kali, centos, ubuntu, mint
subtle hawk
?
violet nexus
U mean linux. Vmdk right
subtle hawk
I was wondering what specific versions were on those two vaguely named images in the pic yamato posted
subtle hawk
@subtle hawk windows is just plain old windows 10
and that vmdk is a dump of my arch install off my old laptop
good ol arch
there's a handy little tool called dd...
no
it's a full DD dump
not too hard to make arch live though
and because of linux magic I was able to dump directly to the server
especially when the installer cd is basically a live version of arch itself...
use archiso to build a custom image or just open the squashfs
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
or u kno
make it persistent and bootable on another USB
so many ways to do it

@umbral onyx i might do that as practice for messing around with unreal

anyone facing lag issues in emulators on windows build 1903?
subtle hawk
no
and it's not build 1903
it's the major version 1903
the build is a longer number
quartz atlas
ah mah bad
but my emulators have been lagging to shit ever since windows forced me to update 
quartz atlas
ye, i reinstalled them, double their ram allocation.
didnt work
weird thing is, it lags even more in 30fps
subtle hawk
what windows edition
quartz atlas
10 pro
quartz atlas
yups
quartz atlas
well, i used bluestacks originally. but once it started lagging after the update. i reinstalled and shit. didnt fix the issue. so i installed nox. same situation as bluestacks.
quartz atlas
its even worse
quartz atlas
gtx980m 8gb
subtle hawk
so laptop
quartz atlas
ye
subtle hawk
did u check if nox/bluestacks runs on novideo or shintel GPU
btw that GPU is absolute garbage
subtle hawk
nvidia should have a tool for it
if not u can check which GPU gets the load from task manager
intel is GPU 0 and nvidia GPU 1
also make sure ur plugged in
usually on battery the nvidia one gets disabled unless set otherwise
violet nexus
Im using later version of any OS
quartz atlas
my battery lasts 5mins if im not plugged in
violet nexus
I remember using 1803 build on my laptop
5mins after full charge it straight shutdown
Thus i need to revert back to build 17xx
quartz atlas
subtle hawk
1803 was notorious for bugs in the first week
quartz atlas
but my gpu0 is my 980m tho
violet nexus
I thought my laptop battery became shit
subtle hawk
probably
violet nexus
I see
But yea
I stick on build 17xx at the end
The most stable build for my laptop atleast
But i do want to get 1903
Coz of windows powershell that can do ssh
subtle hawk
u know that keeping back major releases is one of the worst ideas in terms of security
and reliability
u don't have to install them from day 1
unless ur me and u force windows update to give it to you in the first hour 
subtle hawk
Can anyone help me, its very important. I use micro sd card on my phone which is 32gb samsung made. Its does detect it but it doesnt show anything, its say 22gb used from 32gb but it dont show anything at all, just 0 app, 0 video, 0 everything. all my files is on the msd from games, video, work, Soo its a big problem of i cant fix it. And dont ask for screenshot i cant do it, its say failed to store due to limited storage
subtle hawk
Can i get the file back, or how to get it back?
Also an extra note, i format the sd card as internal storage
subtle hawk
most likely the SD card is ded
@subtle hawk how long did u have it for
@subtle hawk 2 month
hmm
did you format it often
or take it out
Only once, when im insert it for the first time
you can try to put it in a pc and see if u can restore it
but doubtful that you'll get the data back
Ok
severe falcon
Tfw you successfully get a 2nd computer successfully set up in your office, complete with scavenging for cat 5e cables, a gigabit network switch, and the ever elusive DVI cable because your second comp is for some reason different than all the others in the company, THEN when attempting to log in for the first time, the server says fuk u
severe falcon
yeah the IT guy has to help me when he gets off vacation on thursday
severe falcon
I mean im sure the servers have whatever the highest is, but my dinky desktops dont need that much
Also it was scavenged parts, some of those were unmarked ethernet cords that probably werent even cat 5, but i managed to find all 5e
severe falcon
oh have we got something faster now?
i just cant wait til i get the new computers that are super smol but actually have hdmi
manually switching the input on the monitor succs
its these cute lil comps
severe falcon
yeah
severe falcon
yeah they look even smoler in person
but i had to get a usb switch for my 2 comp setup so i only need one keyboard and mouse and an hdmi switch came with it for whatever reason
too bad all our comps are VGA or DVI only
subtle hawk
i find it surprising that VGA is still widespread in some locations in 2019
DVI i can understand, but
VGA?? i can also understand if itβs like a single user
at home
severe falcon
i found like 6 unused 1920x1080 monitors in the tech scavenger's sanctuary
all have VGA cords on them

@violet nexus actually gonna get this instead of the rx 470

flint bobcat
i guess

But to be sure tho
flint bobcat
also i need to install an OS onto it
severe falcon
or do you mean pcie 3.0 vs 2.0?
violet nexus
It will be fine
severe falcon
just make sure it has proper airflow

For assurance, its recommended to check the pre-build pc that u buy
Before adding some stuff
To avoid some troubles or stuff
flint bobcat
nice
severe falcon
so my use switch is not hardwired for 1 is left and 2 is right, its whatever is connected first is 1 and the other is 2
which means that my right comp is 1, which is the left light on the switch and vice versa

Can't take nintendo switch module since it's full
Can't take vr module since it clashes time
Please tell me that either of these are simple to learn
severe falcon
idk, im taking a vr unity thing next semester
subtle hawk
@umbral onyx wait, your college has switch development class? 
severe falcon
ok i need help with algorithm stuff
severe falcon
so i have a matrix of coordinate pairs, where the pair at point [x][y] is the index of the next point to go to
how do i find the ones that dont have any points leading to them?
i mean is there a way to do it OTHER than the brute force method?
umbral onyx
oh
severe falcon
this program already takes several seconds to run
severe falcon
yes
its a matrix that helps with an algorithm drawing on an image, it is not the image itself
umbral onyx
Are you trying to denoise?
severe falcon
no
im trying to find the longest n individual trains
i already made a way to find them, but they were all from the same longest train
oh so the thing is, the pair always corresponds to one of the 8 surrounding points
or its (-1,-1), which means thats the end
wait i think im an idiot
umbral onyx
For me, while I'm building I would set up a matrix of zeroes and ones where ones signifies that its a connected point and zeroes is vice versa. From there I would use convex algorithm on the zeroes that are besides ones to find vertex of the edge of the land
If you are able to find individual terrains basically use the convex algorithm to find which land is the biggest
another method is to choose multiple points in the map and propogate via brute force
eh
uhh
Do you understand?
tldr:
find convex points of a land.
Find the furthest two convex points of the land.
severe falcon
sorry had to help coworker for a bit
so its an algorithm that draws rivers
it takes a point, finds the steepest path down, then goes to the next point
so naturally the highest points with no higher points around them would be the start of the rivers right?
umbral onyx
huh.
severe falcon
i already have a program that finds all the local mins and maxes
so i can shorten the runtime of the algorithm if i just take the tallest n maxima and draw the river flow
right?
umbral onyx
Yeah
So you picked two points and draw a line?
using the steepest slope to head towards
severe falcon
well no i had a point, drew a dot, went to one of the 8 surrounding pixels with the seepest slope down, and then that was the new point
it was recursive
umbral onyx
as in you wanted the longest river right?
severe falcon
oh im working on that one now
severe falcon
we figured it out
instead of using a complex algorithm with the matrix, throw it out and just use the top n local maxima
severe falcon
why the ehhhh
umbral onyx
That's very unlike you
severe falcon
cheating?
severe falcon
i mean we can make an A* with a 3d heuristic for drawing the roads
severe falcon
the only reason its unrealistic is cuz your heuristic is unrealistic
umbral onyx
Fair enough
severe falcon
if we make it go in the general direction of the town, but attempt to avoid changing its elevation, it should make some interesting roads
umbral onyx
How will you handle bridges when the time comes?
severe falcon
it just draws the roads on top of the rivers
severe falcon
@umbral onyx blue dots around green are minimums, where each pixel around it is higher
thats just each one
if i adjust each one by 1 height, and then redo it, and do that 10 times, i get this
its eliminated alot, but now its got these patches
umbral onyx
Say
severe falcon
i might be onto something
umbral onyx
could you rerun the local minmax algorithm again after readjusting?
or was this after rerun?
severe falcon
first one was after first pass, where nothing has been adjusted
2nd was on 10th pass
WHY
umbral onyx
what's the result?
umbral onyx
are you sure you did not normalize the local minimums by accident
howabout rather than raising it by one
let it raise to it's lowest neighbour
not sure what will happen though
or raise it to the average height of it's neighbours
severe falcon
so what it does, is it gets the height of the pixels, then gets the heights of the 8 pixels around it
it subtracts the current height from the 8 pixels
if any of them are greater than zero, it sets a flag that it cannot be a maxium
if any of them are less than zero, it sets a flag that it cant be a minimum
if both flags are set, the pixel is green and brightness is its height
if it can be local min, its local min
if it can be locla max, its local max
if none are set, is green again
it is ONLY integers so its not like im overshooting and creating all these mins because of it
wait lemme set both flags to false if it finds one thats the same height as it
MAN I SURE WISH I WASNT AS STUPID AS THE DUMBASS THAT WROTE THIS CODE
i still have no idea why it made clusters , but i fixed the main problem
umbral onyx
//Typing to understand
foreach(n in neighbour)
{
int dH = n - current.h;
if(dH > 0) not max;
else if (dH < 0) not min;
}
if(Not min and not max) green with varied height;
else if(not min) can local min;
else if(not max) can local max;
else green;
umbral onyx
That's so little minima
severe falcon
2 runs seems to be good
umbral onyx
2 is good
so what did you do?
Zilf I need help
Solves it anyway
I feel useless
hold on'
severe falcon
yeah one single neighbor would change 1 flag, and the same hegiht ones wouldnt change anything, so it counted as a minimum
and because it checked for both flags, then the min flag, it made all same height ones minimums
and now my rivers are broken probably because it only looks for downslopes and not zero slopes
i hate past me for being dumb
but also simultaneously smarter than i am right now
YEP NO ZERO SLOPES
severe falcon
severe falcon
well the mathematical slope is in fact 0
severe falcon
well no it means my lil allow zero slopes edit broke it
severe falcon
yeah
the max recursion depth is like 997 or something like that
wait but hwo
ok so it was going in circles on the flat edges of the map
so now i need a check so that it never goes in a circle
so it goes through the path, and if it ever finds itself again, it changes its value to the min flag and then returns
umbral onyx
maybe I should give up on complex gameplay and make a simple vn
severe falcon
Make it a complex vn
It needs to have a more complicated choice flowchart than katawa shoujo

severe falcon
no its my actual job, at least while im in college

i have worked there for a year, scanned 0.6 million pages of the total 2.6 million pages already scanned, with about 10+ million left to go
actually lemme calculate it
excuse me, i was wrong, there are 5.6 million left to go
about 28 US TONS of paper
@umbral onyx so help me with this alg i havent made yet
severe falcon
we would all have robot servants if you could make one that could do my job
it has to decide if a sticky note is important or not, having no idea about anything its saying
anyway ON TO THE ALG
i need to make lakes
cuz sometimes the rivers will make lakes
so i need some way to figure out the bowl of the lake
subtle hawk
severe falcon
oh dear this has technical papers written about it
umbral onyx
why not just choose some random local minima and expand to a certain height
similar to how random dungeon room works
severe falcon
explain cuz now im interested
umbral onyx
or you could use that minima and lower terrains near it up to x distance
umbral onyx
At any rate it's like this
1)Choose a position
2)Choose a distance from the point
3)Any area within that distance is to be converted into a room
That's how making a room works
of course you can modify it
umbral onyx
oh
severe falcon
and becuase of our whole min max debacle earlier, the bottoms of those dips might not be minima
umbral onyx
how to determine if a lake was formed instead of a river huh...
severe falcon
hmmm, maybe i could make the pixels be colors based on how the map slopes
kinda like a normal map
umbral onyx
Will the river already be formed before determining a lake?
severe falcon
yes
like we can have a starting point if we find the end of the river at a height greater than 55 (cuz thats when rivers blend to oceans)
umbral onyx
Mine is a brute force method
severe falcon
thats fine
i can make a special mark on the river map so that the end of the river can be located easily
umbral onyx
As you create a river and check if it's neighbours is made of purely water from a distance determined by you. You could mark that point as a potential lake?
severe falcon
this is what river does tho
umbral onyx
The moment any of it's neighbour is a land, you skip
umbral onyx
how about just propagating from the end point of the river
I mean that's where the water will end up right?
severe falcon
yes but the question is how
umbral onyx
From end point.
- Propogate
2)if checked point <= than maxAllowable height from the endpoint
replace with water
severe falcon
we dont have max allowable height tho
umbral onyx
by max i meant the expected depth of the lake
severe falcon
yeah we dont know that
the lake would fill all the way until it spills over the rim, then subtract 1
umbral onyx
then just propogate until it reahes a tile with a height above the end point
continue this process until there's no more tiles in the stack to check
OR
Just randomly expand it then all the water height is equal to the lowest unaffected neighbouring tile it encountered
severe falcon
so this is how it would look
the boxes are the height pixels, the gray one does not exist
so how we do
we have bottom one, and we need to find the rim
so we up the height and then find the furthest away pixel at that height?
umbral onyx
yeap
severe falcon
or no we find the closest
and if it ever hits the edge of the map, then we know it found the rim
severe falcon
and we shall see how it works
but not at work rn so i cant really code it yet
also am gonna have to update the river map to only start rivers if the moisture map is high enough
but currently it is making ONE river that leads to a lake
so i dont wanna break it
while(not(bruh_moment)):
raise height
find all pixels around at that height or above in case of gray box
if(we_hit_the_edge):
bruh_moment = True
use current height-2 for lake
@umbral onyx like this^?
umbral onyx
sounds breakable this use current height-2 for lake
severe falcon
what mean
umbral onyx
what if the height is just 1
severe falcon
then it wouldnt be a lake
umbral onyx
Fair point
severe falcon
this wouldnt be a lake, so in the game i would have the water just enter a cave or something

maybe have it on black and white instead of greyscale

umbral onyx
128mb isn't that large to download

In the future people would be like
"eh 128 tb? That little? How did our ancestors do anything with the comp? "
Technology singularity needs to come faster
severe falcon
Thats not a download, thats the file size
128 MB for 217 pages when normally 690 pages used 40 MB
severe falcon
zil haaaaaaaalp
@umbral onyx we need to refine our algorithm
we have this, and so we look at each green point and see if the height is above a certain amount, and then try to fill a lake with it
i might stray this away from integers and the image grid and do like a raytrace in a circle at increasing heights from the green points
subtle hawk
if you run out of recursion stack then just flatten it into the list
severe falcon
? recursion?
subtle hawk
you said you ran out of recursion level earlier
severe falcon
thats cuz it never hit the return statement
subtle hawk
oh lol
severe falcon
yeah recursion depth is too high for what im doing
subtle hawk
if you redo it a lot then you can just memo it
severe falcon
yeah currently it runs the recursion and stores what to do for each point in a matrix, then it checks the matrix to see if it has a value there
and now since its been optimized more, the max depth is somewhere in the 50s i think
now i just gotta figure out polar and cartesian conversion
severe falcon
oh really?
subtle hawk
so yeah just treat x as Re and y as Im and then use its built-in functions
severe falcon
oh i was already gonna do that
subtle hawk
or use sqrt and atan2
severe falcon
x = r cos theta
y = r sin theta
then add x and y to the coordinates of the current pixel to get the new coordinates
or well it keeps adding to r until it hits the max allowable distance

@severe falcon help me with a simple problem
if there are three options and an ai have a chance of choosing them with this percentages
op[1] = 0.4f
op[2] = 0.0f
op[3] = 0.6f
then I raised op[2] by 0.1f
op[2] = 0.1f
how should I deduct a total of 0.1f from op[1] and op[3] so that the percentage ratio remains the same.
know what, I'm dumb.
op[x] -= op[x] * 0. 1
And now the a. i is predicting too strongly, else I'm dumb and predictable
severe falcon
@umbral onyx
thats cuz you really cant have the same ratio since it started at 0
but if you wanted the ratio of op1 and op3 to remain the same and have op2 as 0.1f, then it would be:
op[1] = 0.4x0.9
op[2] = 0.1
op[3] = 0.6x0.9
severe falcon
@umbral onyx ALGORITHM TIME
so i start at each river end
then i flood fill blue at its height+1
then i go and flood fill black at [0,0]
if i still have blue on the image
then increase height to check and repeat
if i DONT have blue on image
then i decrease height back to last time there was blue
then store the location of blue pixels and move on to the next river end
oh and reset image to all black after storing blue
umbral onyx
wait, flood fill black?
why
oh
So you're only taking the highest blue pixel among what was blue filled
Why do you need to do that since you already have information on the river?
oh, becuse the river is on a slopeeeee
ahhhh
AHHHHHHHH
I GET IT.
Because you repeat the process of blue filling and blackfilliing, there will be a time when the blue fills up the whole screen so you revert it back to 1 step before!!!
It will create a big lake!
umbral onyx
dude that's nice!
severe falcon
but now i gotta make it
umbral onyx
But what if the height + 1 from the river end lead to the ocean immediately. Or height + x is a really small bowl that you can't call it an ocean
severe falcon
hardcode adjustments
umbral onyx
yeah, can't be helped
flint bobcat
does this look like a good processor to buy
severe falcon
Thats not a current series processor
Though if you are upgrading and its the best one that fits the slot then yeah its good
If you are doing a build though, go for ryzen
subtle hawk
severe falcon
@flint bobcat my current processor is ths FX-6300, its the six-core lil sis to that one you posted, its almost 6 years old now and its starting to struggle and get really hot on newer games.
i only have stock cooler but still its getting close to retirement to media center
flint bobcat
subtle hawk
ye the FX series are dinosaurs in comparison to newer chips
severe falcon
yeah but if you are on a super low budget and arent gonna do brand new / CPU intensive games, then you can go for it as long as its not a build
subtle hawk
or doing an upgrade on AM3 motherboard
severe falcon
yeah upgrade on current AM3 mobo is fine
subtle hawk
but yeah right now even Ryzen 3 is worth more than this
even still
it's probably more budget friendly to go for a R3
severe falcon
but R3s arent AM3 are they?
severe falcon
its not budget friendly if you have an AM3 mobo, cuz you need a ryzen and a new mobo
subtle hawk
a cheap B450 board is ez to find
for like 80$
even less if you look for a sale or smth
severe falcon
my USB switch has like a 2 second delay and its driving me crazy
subtle hawk
hm why are A320 boards as expensive as B450 boards
severe falcon
cuz its Airbus brand kek
subtle hawk
it can't even overclock
severe falcon
id get an A320 and a jet engine style cooler just for the joke
subtle hawk
lol
welp, time to sleep
next art contest I'll be more careful with planning the content more
severe falcon
i liked yours tho
undone torrent
I would've helped out if I didnt bite off more than I could chew with mine 
now I am drained
severe falcon
sometimes i love that negative indices wrap in python, sometimes i hate it
i need super help
my recursive algorithm is running the starting parameters twice
i now made it a stack kindof
severe falcon
well it wasnt that, its like it started and then called itself with the same values and then continued
anyway i have made a pseudo queue
undone torrent
I cant think of any reason why it would call itself twice unless specifically done by you π€ python thing?
severe falcon
no idea but lets see what new problem the queue makes
welp time to make pygame SHOW me whats going on
oh so its just REALLY slow
severe falcon
how do i speed it up
send police, fire, and amberlamps
tocheck has one x,y pair at the start
checked is empty at start
help me optimise
cuz something is seriously wrong, this guy's recursive version WHICH HAS LESS OPTIMIZATION THAN THE ONE I MADE is taking 243 ms on a similar sized image FILLING IT 50 TIMES ON AN AMD ATHLON FROM 2004
mine so far has taken literally 1000x that and still not finished one fill
severe falcon
the problem is that idk whats wrong
Also cuz pygame is gae, if the window is not active, it crashes
Yama do you see something wrong with it?
subtle hawk
my python is v shit
severe falcon
So is mine, pretend its c++ or java and then read it
Its like im 3d printing it with how slow its going
The weirdest part is that it actually seems to be working correctly
compact cloud
π
severe falcon
Well i already thought of a fix but its weird that its taking so long
The fix doesnt actually speed up the fill it just stops the fill super early
@subtle hawk get someone to pin this, cuz thats in SECONDS and it DIDNT EVEN SAVE
subtle hawk
both
stone wave
If you're being serious you'll need a CPU, Mobo and RAM
cause you're still on DDR3
unless you plan to do a side-grade and stick with DDR 3 and the same socket
stone wave
yeah but if you get that youll need a motherboard that supports DDR4
subtle hawk
that's DDR4
stone wave
and then youll need a new CPU
stone wave
no
flint bobcat
what cheap cpu supports ddr4 then, like recommend
flint bobcat
o ok
subtle hawk
old intel cpus are p shite
stone wave
You should be able to find a bundle sans RAM for like $200
subtle hawk
might as well get ryzen
subtle hawk
ye
stone wave
yeah if you get shit like my Kaby Lake its quad core, good single core performance but meh in terms of future proofing IMO
severe falcon
Dont you just love when your bios resets the boot drive order for no reason and so you panic when you start your comp because you fear your os drive finally died?
flint bobcat
stone wave
I had that happen a few times on older PCs...
flint bobcat
oh yeah reminds me, i need a new motherboard also
stone wave
usually either dead CMOS battery or one time I had a south bridge go thermonuclear
and that caused all sorts of shit
but that was during the single core days back when Athlon was the shit
stone wave
But yeah Aria you should be able to find bundles for a Ryzen 1600 and a mobo for $200 USD in the US
stone wave
Oh and with a new mobo you can stick in an NVMe SSD at some point in the future
Kind of overkill but with SSD prices where they're at it's pretty worth while IMO
severe falcon
Aria what graphics card u rockin?
stone wave
I think he bought a 1050 ti
flint bobcat
im not gonna do extreme gaming anyway, never did
stone wave
Nice phone I have one.
flint bobcat
yamato the real whale
severe falcon
Yeah just keep that
stone wave
Aria, if you have a Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/amd-1600-six-core-3-2-ghz-desktop-processor-white/6091101.p?skuId=6091101
subtle hawk
stone wave
$99.99 for a R5 1600
severe falcon
I have hit max power with my current build and i have a 950 that i WAY overpaid for
stone wave
or ebay that shit if you wanna avoid the sales tax
severe falcon
Amd is cheap
flint bobcat
ill go for the bundle still
stone wave
I think R5s come with the wraith cooler...
severe falcon
Its really good tho
flint bobcat
has higher clock
subtle hawk
ye they do
stone wave
Did you get your 950 back when alt coin mining with GPUs was popular Kawa?
severe falcon
uhh it wouldve been in late 2015
stone wave
Ah so before then
severe falcon
like october maybe?
stone wave
I think a friend of mine paid like $300 for a single fan 1060
severe falcon
cant remember the price but mine was over $200
severe falcon
only reason i got it was because dual AMD dinos that gave the 970 a run for its money kept crashing warthunder
the only game i played at the time
subtle hawk
stone wave
I had a 970, I sold it real cheap to a co-worker I was on good terms with.
subtle hawk
what about overloading?
severe falcon
well im just making an entire new build after i actually get disposable income and my current comp will be for idk
stone wave
cause if he's on a prebuilt IDK about his PSU
severe falcon
@flint bobcat whats ur PSU?
stone wave
hmm... actually wouldnt a R5 be more energy efficient than an old Sandy Bridge i5?
So it might not be too big an issue.
severe falcon
probably
severe falcon
nothing can be more energy inefficient than my AMD dino GPUs
stone wave
Did you have like the FX-####
severe falcon
well thats CPU and i CURRENTLY have FX-6300
stone wave
oof
severe falcon
my old GPUs were actually so old they were branded ATi
stone wave
holy radeon
severe falcon
estimated 695 W usage with my whole comp
stone wave
i have no idea what the power draw on my desktop is
severe falcon
theres a calculator online
stone wave
i just sorta went mild overkill on the PSU
severe falcon
stone wave
i got some 850w EVGA thing with platinum rated efficiency
subtle hawk
750W PSU here
severe falcon
yeah so estimated wattage is 702 with my old cards
stone wave
IDK how accurate this thing is but this is what it told me
oh I also have a PSU on the way
severe falcon
now my current build is at 423 W
severe falcon
mine has 7
subtle hawk
stone wave
I got 5x Corsair LL120 RGB fans (2 are for my AIO) and 1 ML140 white LED fan.
pretty but holy shit they're expensive
stone wave
If I ever have to replace them I may just go with the cheap noctua fans
severe falcon
i hate their colors tho
stone wave
They got grey/black ones now IIRc
severe falcon
oh sweet
subtle hawk
π€
severe falcon
though only about as equal cancer as that top PSU
stone wave
My previous case was old enough that it didn't have PSU shroud and that felt dated to me.
subtle hawk
@severe falcon do you still want optimization for that code?
severe falcon
if you wanna just look and see if i have something horribly wrong, im currently making a kindof optimization
