technology

[subtle hawk]

yeah

but they rely on EMP

[severe falcon]

you just need some powerful radio transmitters

no its radio

[subtle hawk]

radio is also an electromagnetic wave

[severe falcon]

yes but its not an emp

[subtle hawk]

something something full bridge rectifier

I see you watch electroboom

so @severe falcon what happened to your board again

did you buy a new mobo

[severe falcon]

the current mobo is the replacement

so at first i was running dual radeon hd 5870s

but then they kept crashing warthunder

[subtle hawk]

ah

[severe falcon]

like literally every hour

so i got my 950

then after a while i stopped really playing warthunder and the 950 is a piece of trash

so i tried to put the radeons back in, and then it bricked the mobo

[subtle hawk]

rip

bridging radeon hd 5870s

wat

[severe falcon]

bruh

[subtle hawk]

crossfire doesn't need an external bridge

[severe falcon]

these did

[subtle hawk]

oh lol

[severe falcon]

and they had a bridge connector

[subtle hawk]

also speaking of case fans

[subtle hawk]

I wanted to install 2 14" fans on the front which mean I need one extra fan connector

but apparently NF-A14 already comes with a splitter

[severe falcon]

those things also had jet engines for fans

[subtle hawk]

is it possible to use that on something else?

oh wow ATI radeon

[severe falcon]

and i dont mean that they were loud, i mean that the rpm could go so high they turned into screaming jet engines

[subtle hawk]

so way before AMD bought it

[severe falcon]

yeah these are 2010

and both together was competing with 970s when the 900 series was new

[subtle hawk]

I don't miss the old days of really loud cpu fans

[severe falcon]

they were running siege and the division at 60 fps on ultra when those just came out

[subtle hawk]

been living with it until I moved in the dorm in high school

[severe falcon]

i dont mind the sound of fans

tbh its reassuring when they revv up during a game

[subtle hawk]

yeah, I mind the cooling more

the case fan of my deepcool case is really trash

min duty cycle is like 60%

[severe falcon]

also since i figured out the problem with half the fans not running, its now running cool

[subtle hawk]

and the only thing blowing into my gpu right now is an NF-P12

[severe falcon]

@gloomy tinsel is there a fast.com for upload speeds?

nvm i found it

[gloomy tinsel]

o

Sorry was in a meeting

[subtle hawk]

[severe falcon]

pig what is that?

[subtle hawk]

"{} text".format(var) -> f"{var} text"

very useful feature

but I wanted to write for older versions

[gloomy tinsel]

good thing we use Python 3.7 at work

I use f strings all the time

I don't lament the death of Python 2 at all, I had to use it at my old workplace

[subtle hawk]

nice

[subtle hawk]

random windows update out of nowhere

🤔

rip my 25 day uptime lol

ehh no class tomorrow might as well dust my pc while I’m at it

[subtle hawk]

there's no Sleep, Update and Shut Down, Update and Restart, only Update and Shut Down, Update and Shut Down, Update and Restart

[pulsar saddle]

Update and Shut Down twice

[quartz tide]

So i update windows 10 and the game mode toggle missing only" this laptop suport game mode" how do i make this thing appears again ?

[compact cloud]

nohow they changed it

always enabled if supported

@quartz tide

[quartz tide]

@compact cloud also why did my android emulator get lag after i update windows ?

[compact cloud]

hell if I know? update it or use other emu

MuMu works great

[subtle hawk]

someone asks how to load a unsigned driver in windows

does a quick google

finds his post on unknowncheats

[severe falcon]

yamato, how much do you know about node.js?

[subtle hawk]

p much everything

oh yeah for my VPN bois out here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDQEoe6ZWY

[severe falcon]

ok i have zero knowledge and i gotta get it to work with a mySQL database on AWS, so i may come back and ask some questions

[subtle hawk]

mysql DB

that's where u went wrong

[severe falcon]

too bad

[subtle hawk]

for the love of god

use anything

ANYTHING

but mysql

[severe falcon]

there is a month left in my capstone project so i can graduate, our team literally cant change at this point

[subtle hawk]

ugh fine

[severe falcon]

but i dont need help with mysql, i need it more with the connections

but ill come back when im at home and can actually code it

[subtle hawk]

create connection string
run the connect method

???

profit

[severe falcon]

is that it?

just connect to AWS, then connect to the mysql db?

[subtle hawk]

no

directly to mysql

AWS doesn't have some magic sauce

[severe falcon]

oh so i dont need the AWS SDK at all?

[subtle hawk]

why would you

what does the SDK have to do with your database

[severe falcon]

cuz the database is through AWS

[subtle hawk]

and?

does that make it somehow special?

the host is never a key factor

[severe falcon]

idk, my only experience with any web dev was hand-coded HTML, CSS, and javascript

client-side only

[subtle hawk]

this ain't webdev

and you know it

[severe falcon]

well its gonna be for web dev

[subtle hawk]

an API is not webdev

[severe falcon]

cuz im using it for a website

but anyway i got the info i needed

so thanks

[subtle hawk]

I mean it's just a different URL

[gloomy tinsel]

@subtle hawk even MongoDB? 😛

[gloomy tinsel]

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/five-months-after-returning-rental-car-man-still-has-remote-control/ I'm not surprised

[subtle hawk]

In case you are guys wondering, I figured it out that my Toshiba laptop is now running Arch Linux.

[flint bobcat]

[subtle hawk]

[gloomy tinsel]

1366x768, get it away from me

[subtle hawk]

Sorry, my laptop can only carry up to 1366x768

@gloomy tinsel

[gloomy tinsel]

@subtle hawk

[gloomy tinsel]

Hmm, Ice Lake server CPUs may have only up to 38 cores

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521725593436291088/639076313067421696/ReleaseSchedule.png leaked from ASUS internal meeting

[subtle hawk]

we are still having problems finetuning 10nm, just keep using our 14nm+++++++++ for a while

[gloomy tinsel]

Ice Lake 38c should smack 32-core Epyc easily, if priced right, but I can't see this beating 64-core Epyc no matter how big the improvements are

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[stone wave]

TDP Up to 300W

I know it's a Xeon but damn.

[subtle hawk]

bruh

misread that as TCP up to 300w and was like

"uhh wrong everything"

[stone wave]

holy crap the 56-core one is rated up to 400w apparently

oh wait no that's the current Xeon Platinum I think

(Last time I saw a Xeon CPU was like in 2017 and it was some 24 core thing)

[gloomy tinsel]

There is only so much Intel can do to keep temperatures down while still on 14nm, while also having to compete with AMD's Epyc

So naturally the TDPs will be quite high

[stone wave]

It's amusing to me because the last time I looked (like 2-3 years back) 125w rating or so was the norm for server CPUs IIRC.

then again like you said we've been on 14nm for a while

[gloomy tinsel]

AMD released 7nm Epyc and put the ball in Intel's court

[stone wave]

Hopefully the preverbal ball gets rolling.

[gloomy tinsel]

Intel is still ramping up 10nm production, so they still need 14nm for now

Hence the 14nm Cooper Lake

Looking at this roadmap, I suspect that Intel will only really get it going in 2021

AMD is going to have a free 2020

and as they're very behind in the datacenter space, they're surely happy about it

[subtle hawk]

@gloomy tinsel

[gloomy tinsel]

@subtle hawk

[stone wave]

Yeah, doesn't Intel have a near monopoly on the server side of the market?

[gloomy tinsel]

It does, ye

For its part, AMD needs to capitalize and kick Intel while they're down

[stone wave]

Like 2 months back my buddy asked me if he should upgrade his rig. I asked him what he had and he said i7-4790k. So I checked how that compares to my i7-7700k and it's like a 10% difference, but those CPUs are like 3 years apart.

I just get the feeling that Intel has been complacent for a while now.

[gloomy tinsel]

I went AMD when the Ryzen 5 series launched, and I'm quite happy with my R5 1600

It isn't the best gamer, but it is a solid mixed workload chip

[stone wave]

Yeah I'd totally go AMD if I were in the market rn.

But I'm going to see how long I can have this quad core thing last.

[gloomy tinsel]

Quad cores are still fine for most tbh

When the PS5 launches, the requirements of games may yet rise

[stone wave]

Hopefully

[gloomy tinsel]

Since PS5 will have an octacore Zen 2 chip with SMT

Similar to 3700X presumably

[stone wave]

I have a bog standard PS4 slim

that thing...

it stutters playing regular ass fucking games made for it

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah, the AMD Jaguar chip in PS4 is a potato

[stone wave]

don't it got graphics similar to a 750ti

[gloomy tinsel]

It does

And it has a weird 8 core Jaguar CPU with no close equivalent in the PC space

The Jaguar has some similarities to Intel's Atom

It is a low power chip with low clockspeeds and low IPC

[stone wave]

It was kinda dated when it was new so

[gloomy tinsel]

I guess the closest thing to the PS4 CPU in PCs is the AMD 5150 Kabini

But that is just a quad core chip

Same Jaguar architecture tho

[stone wave]

damn man i would have pegged it as something similar to an X3

guess i was overestimating it

[gloomy tinsel]

To be fair, the PS4 does have 8 cores. It's just that those cores are all megapotatoes

Definitely slower than Athlon II X3 cores

[stone wave]

doesn't it use some for graphics processing?

like with ram

[gloomy tinsel]

It has integrated Radeon graphics

[stone wave]

ah

[gloomy tinsel]

So it's a custom APU

I do not know a good analog for the graphics in the PC space off the top of my head, but I guess maybe a Radeon R7 260 or 265?

[stone wave]

ps4 is like 6 years old now

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah

@stone wave you gotta say what your full specs are now, I expect a hefty GPU paired with that 7700K

[stone wave]

regular 1080

[gloomy tinsel]

Still a good GPU

I have a 5700 XT paired with my 1600

[stone wave]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/mithikx/saved/3csLkL

[gloomy tinsel]

Expensive

[stone wave]

its spaced out over like 2 years or whatever

and it counts the monitors and other crap

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah but still

My system cost is below half that

counting everything

[stone wave]

i didn't feel like skimping on some of the stuff

and some of the stuff i over paid because i wanted it

[gloomy tinsel]

That's fair

[stone wave]

i could probably cobble together something similar performance wise for under 1 grand rn

which is kinda sad

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah Kaby Lake did not age well

[stone wave]

nah those past few years of quad core i7s are all nearly identical in my book

[gloomy tinsel]

Mhm, from 2600K to 7700K

2600K not as much, but 4770K definitely

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jFpCyk

There's my parts list

Some things may raise questions and I have answers for those questions

[stone wave]

those SSDs

[gloomy tinsel]

The Mushkins are good

[stone wave]

4 low capacity SSDs?

i know not everyone is archiving the damn Library of Congress

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah, I collected them over the years for different projects and ended up throwing them all into this PC lol

[stone wave]

but 120gb SSDs?

[gloomy tinsel]

In the long run, I will definitely replace them with one big SSD

[stone wave]

good thing SSDs are reasonably priced now

[gloomy tinsel]

Yep

The PSU might seem a bit small for this build, but I did tests on power draw and it's fine. It's a known high quality PSU, too

The RAM is overclocked to 2866 MT/s

[stone wave]

doesnt ryzen benefit more from higher clocked ram?

[gloomy tinsel]

It does, I cheaped out on RAM since it was built during a period where RAM was expensive

[stone wave]

i bought ram before RGB ram was a thing

now my ram doesn't really match the rest of my rig but i cant be bothered to flip my ram

[gloomy tinsel]

At 2866, it isn't bad at least. But I would like 3200 or better now that RAM prices aren't stupid

[stone wave]

I'd say just hold off until you decide to ditch your R5 1600

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah that was generally the intent

And the 1600 is not going anywhere for now

[stone wave]

it should be fine until DDR5

[gloomy tinsel]

Mhm

[stone wave]

and you're looking at what? a 1200mhz gain

over yourcurrent ram

[gloomy tinsel]

1600 is probably going to hold until 2022

Unless something weird happens

I bought it with the expectation of a 5-year CPU

[stone wave]

yeah 2022 sounds about right

i'd suspect it'll start hitting the market in 2021

then give it a few months in case of any teething problems

cause gen 1 ryzen chipsets had that funky issue with RAM IIRC

[gloomy tinsel]

They did yeah, I bought after most of the issues were resolved

But even then, Zen 1 just has a weaker memory controller than later generations

[stone wave]

Yep, stuff like that is why I tend to wait a few months.

[gloomy tinsel]

My 5700 XT will probably stay until 2024, it is plenty for me right now

[stone wave]

I don't really game as much any more.

So same for my stuff.

[gloomy tinsel]

The 4K monitor will stay for a long, long time

Maybe 10 years

[vagrant holly]

amd software support

[gloomy tinsel]

AMD drivers are very good here on Linux

[stone wave]

I bought the shittiest low tier 55" 4k tv the other day.

[vagrant holly]

imagine declaring your flagship card EOL after 5 months

oh wait

[stone wave]

Hey man I was running a gimped GTX 970 for a while.

[gloomy tinsel]

I would rather run a Radeon card on Linux than a GeForce card

Personally

[vagrant holly]

i still have my 950 gtx

it's still kicking and going strong

[gloomy tinsel]

I had a 750 Ti before, and that had some of the worst behavior I have ever seen on Linux

The hardware itself was great

It worked well on Windows, too

[vagrant holly]

i wouldn't know about linux

never used it myself

[gloomy tinsel]

Most people don't tbf

[vagrant holly]

but i should learn probably, heard blender render times get cut down hardcore in there

or well, not really heard as much as actually seen

there was this one youtube video that ran tests

[gloomy tinsel]

If you do, and you stick with Nvidia, you should probably stick to Linux LTS kernels. Nvidia drivers on non LTS kernels can be very buggy as I found

[stone wave]

Windows works well enough for me with no fuss so I never found a reason to switch personally.

[vagrant holly]

ye i mean i'm not gonna switch over to linux 100% either most likely

[stone wave]

Windows does have it's fair share of foibles though, so I understand how some people are turned off by that.

[vagrant holly]

more like, keep a partition with linux just to render

[gloomy tinsel]

I need a recent (non LTS) kernel for my Radeon 5700 XT

It is too new for older kernels

Need kernel 5.3+

I mean it works on older, I tried, but I definitely saw more bugs and got less out of it

It also needs Mesa 19.2 or higher and LLVM 9 or higher to get the most of it

5.x has been very good for me as of late

Early on it was a bit buggy

Anyway, recent hardware calls for recent software

@stone wave that's basically why I use Linux, I dislike Windows enough that I will go through hoops if it means I get to stay on Linux
@vagrant holly fair

No comments on Visual Studio
For Android emulation, I use Anbox when able (not an emulator, so faster!) and Google SDK emulator as fallback

Anbox is still in alpha

Yeah it is a buggy bugfest atm

I could only get it working on Ubuntu LTS

Android SDK emu runs very smoothly for me

on every distro I tried

No keybinds, but I play AL in perpetual auto anyway

It has play store, too

I downloaded the whole thing zzz

But I made a launcher to bootstrap just my AL image

So at least I don't have to touch the IDE stuff ever again

AL ran very slowly for me in android-x86 in virtual machine

As in, like 4 FPS. The game logic was running fine, at full speed, but it was unwatchable

In like 5 years, Anbox will either be the only recommended solution, or dead

Lol

Visual Studio can prolly be virtualized with little issue

Monodevelop is interesting, I haven't touched it in like 10 years tho

as I don't do .NET dev

[pulsar saddle]

Android SDK emulator stuff can be managed completely from command-line

so you can script it up or make a desktop entry to launch it

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah, I do know that much

I wrote a script for it

[stone wave]

Android based OS?

[gloomy tinsel]

It looks like a meme! But an interesting meme

[stone wave]

kinda reminds me of Samsung Dex

also RIP Linux on Dex

[gloomy tinsel]

Lol trusting Samsung to maintain anything of that sort for long

[stone wave]

Shit, I might trust Samsung to keep something around longer than Google.

[gloomy tinsel]

If companies had medical diagnoses, Google would have ADD

[stone wave]

Google I/O 2020, announcing yet another Google chat application.

Estimated shelf life, 8 months.

RCS is a pipe dream

apparently it's there but it's opt-in

for the google sms app that is

[gloomy tinsel]

@stone wave do you have pics of PC btw

[stone wave]

err im not at home rn but i do have an old pic

[gloomy tinsel]

o

[stone wave]

https://i.vgy.me/AHsuDB.jpg

[gloomy tinsel]

Nice, very clean

[stone wave]

white color tax on computer parts is real

[vagrant holly]

sleeper PCs is where it's at

[stone wave]

I'd like to do a beige box sleeper build

but wire management and airflow

[vagrant holly]

a case where noctua fans would actually fit

[stone wave]

also many of the beige cases with the look I like pre-date the ATX standardization

[vagrant holly]

just jerry rig it

[stone wave]

fuck it i'd just shove an intel NUC in there

[vagrant holly]

no time better than now to make a budget build

[stone wave]

used office/university/hospital PC if you're in the US

[vagrant holly]

where do you live?

oh

get fucked

[stone wave]

yeah IDK how things work over there

in the US some organizations refresh their hardware every X years so used office PCs are easy enough to find

[vagrant holly]

hold up, is still THAT bad over in poland even today?

i thougt you guys where sorting yourselves out

rip

man the US reviewers are always bitching about their hardware costs

meanwhile i'm over here looking at their prices

and look at the 100 euro tax they slap onto it

[stone wave]

who in the US is bitching about our hw costs?

it's the cheapest in the world

[vagrant holly]

the review channels man

fuck you mithik refund me my 150 euros of tax

altho i kind of deserve it couze i bought a super card

[stone wave]

what you get?

[vagrant holly]

the 2080 super

i just really wanted to see what rtx was all about man

and i could afford it so why not

[stone wave]

i got a 1080

[vagrant holly]

ye that was my first option

[stone wave]

feel free to flex on me

[vagrant holly]

i wanted a 1080ti and you would think after all this time it would cost like, 500 euros maybe

HEEEELL NAH BRO

over here a 1080ti costs 800 to 1k euros

i'm like wtf

[stone wave]

that's with VAT right?

[vagrant holly]

not sure if it's the taxes at this point

i mean it's hard to find new 1080tis over here anyway

[stone wave]

I think it's around 834 EUR (inc. tax) for the average 1080ti in the US.

[vagrant holly]

it's 500-600 for a used card

but i'm not the kind of guy who buys used

[stone wave]

i wouldnt get a used card

you risk getting a mining card or some shit

if you wanna drive shit at 240hz or something higher res over 100hz you kinda need that high end card

[vagrant holly]

ye that's the issue

these things where released during the mining craze

very likely you find yourself with a landmine

[stone wave]

i got my 1080 just before that shit started

[stone wave]

which means I got the card right as it was still kinda new

[vagrant holly]

that's like the worst 1080ti too

[stone wave]

damn it's 3 years old

[vagrant holly]

but ye point is, even if i went for a 1080ti, when looking at it from here, getting a super card would give me something that's better than the 1080ti and RT cores

i don't really care about rtx but i just need to see it

[stone wave]

i know how you feel

[vagrant holly]

ray tracing IS a big deal but nvidia didn't manage to convey how big of a deal it is

we always had access to it, but our hardware was never powerful enough to run it in real time

[stone wave]

it's probably like hairworks 2.0 to most folks

[vagrant holly]

i mean it kind of is like hairworks in that it's nvidia trying to come up with their "own" way of doing it

like physx

and then amd or some other company or just people come up with open source ways to implement the same thing

and then THAT becomes the standard because it's free

[stone wave]

I'm glad AMD is back in the running.

It was kinda rough when Intel was the only game in town.

Also Nvidia

[vagrant holly]

it's so funny to see the 9900k price getting slashed over and over

it's almost nsfw

[stone wave]

I swear my i7-7700k is just the same as the previous 3 or 4 i7s but with some numbers crossed out and new ones written to the side.

[vagrant holly]

intel seems to be panicking more than nvidia

their super lineup seems to be their way to deal with the pricing

instead of slashing the price on the Ti, just release a super which is less powerful than the Ti, but has a lower price

[stone wave]

Cause my friend asked me for my opinion if he should upgrade. He has an i7-4790k from 2014, it's about 10% slower than my i7-7700k from 2017.

It's also on DDR3 but... 10% difference

[vagrant holly]

[stone wave]

Intel pls

[vagrant holly]

i was going to buy an rx5700 because i love what amd is doing right now

but i later decided to get a radeon vii because that 16 gb of vram is something i had never seen on any card before

and i HAD to know what skyrim looked like with 8k textures on flowers

but when they declared it EOL

it broke my heart

[stone wave]

I got my card in 2016...

What did AMD have back then?

[vagrant holly]

8k textures on bees

[stone wave]

RX 580?

Cause I know 2016 predates Vega

[vagrant holly]

uuhhhh

ye that's defo before vega

[stone wave]

It was literally no contest.

Rx 480 actually

I think that was their highest end card until 2017

[vagrant holly]

rx 400 series

[stone wave]

The RX 480 wasn't a bad GPU

it's just no contest compared to like a 1070 or higher

[vagrant holly]

people still recommend rx 590s

[stone wave]

shit idk if it even compares to the 1060

[vagrant holly]

they aren't a bad deal for 1080p

[stone wave]

yea

they were hot during the mining craze too

i saw them fuckers going for nearly $400 USD IIRC

[vagrant holly]

[stone wave]

I saw standard 2-fan 1060s going for the same price as higher end factory OC 1070s' MSRPs

I pitied anyone looking for a graphics card back then.

[vagrant holly]

i hope amd goes crazy and they do another 295x2 type of thing

that was sick

[stone wave]

what was the one they sold that had a closed loop water cooling setup

[vagrant holly]

it's the 295x2

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/7930/295X2_Car3_678x452.jpg

[stone wave]

There was also the R9 Fury or whatever

[vagrant holly]

fury?

[stone wave]

R9 Fury X

[vagrant holly]

oh ye

[gloomy tinsel]

Also Radeon Pro Duo

[vagrant holly]

https://cdn.videocardz.com/1/2015/06/AMD-Radeon-R9-Fury-X.jpg

i never liked the fury

it looks boring

[gloomy tinsel]

The Pro Duo is a funny one

Old Pro Duo, not new one

[stone wave]

Make a... Radeon 6000 XT Fury and have it be RGB and shit

[gloomy tinsel]

@stone wave

[stone wave]

like 3 people will buy it and it'll basically be AMD just shit posting

[vagrant holly]

hell no fuck rgb

i am feverishly against rgb

[stone wave]

switch

[vagrant holly]

unless it's functional

[gloomy tinsel]

I can't RGB

[vagrant holly]

backlit keyboards are alright

[gloomy tinsel]

Also yeah, Switch

[vagrant holly]

just don't make it rainbow puke

[stone wave]

I don't think people actually keep it at the rainbow setting.

It's just change it to match the rest of your shit.

Unless someone really wants unicorn rainbow vomit.

[vagrant holly]

ye they probably pay 150 $ for their razer chroma

are all hyped about the rainbow for the first 2 days

[gloomy tinsel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516951507065765888/632654677896593410/267963.png and cable management @stone wave

[vagrant holly]

then look for ways to turn it off

[stone wave]

I got 5 lbs. of 1986 vintage IBM clickity clack.

[gloomy tinsel]

Cable management is an area that I consider myself ok at

[stone wave]

nice

[vagrant holly]

that's good

[gloomy tinsel]

Rip @unborn flicker

[stone wave]

are those replacement cables or extensions?

[gloomy tinsel]

Extensions

[stone wave]

yeah the custom sleeved cables are kinda expensive

[vagrant holly]

do you make your own sleeves?

[gloomy tinsel]

The stock cables on this PSU are really short, too, hahahaha

[vagrant holly]

that's sick

[stone wave]

hell no

[vagrant holly]

lmao

[stone wave]

too lazy

i just bought a set for like $100 or whatever i paid

but if you do it yourself it looks WAY cleaner

[vagrant holly]

ye

[stone wave]

I do kinda wanna do a full custom build with my own sleeved cables and hardline water cooling but I don't want to spend the time and effort.

Also money

[flint bobcat]

@stone wave wallpaper source

[gloomy tinsel]

I know I wouldn't do it

I see

I just find a wallpaper and stick with it for a while since I hardly ever look at my desktop

[gloomy tinsel]

And I specify minimum width and height when able

i just have a stock corsair wallpaper

i need a new one

[gloomy tinsel]

But yeah finding stuff for my 4K monitor is not so simple

My left monitor is a WUXGA 1920x1200

[stone wave]

Just make a big ass fucking wallpaper in GIMP or whatever.

shouldn't that allow it to "span"

[gloomy tinsel]

It is possible to "split" the wallpaper in GIMP and use that as your workaround (set each monitor as half of the split), but nope

Some desktops do let you span wallpapers, but my workflow is already nicely set up here so I don't wanna switch desktops lol

so I just use Nitrogen

I don't use desktop icons anyway, so no big loss to me

[gloomy tinsel]

Lmao bad isolation

Depends on what you mean by sort

Removing dupes is easy. Just run a hash on all files and if you find matching hashes, you prompt user

I believe there are hashes specifically for images that handle stuff like different resolutions

Categorizing depends on how you want to categorize

If the images have useful metadata then use that, otherwise machine learning :3

Several thousand images should be a good enough dataset

The machine learning thing was kind of facetious.

But you could make a script that goes through all the images, displaying them one at a time, and provides a list of category folders and the option to make new categories

[severe falcon]

You could probably make a script that ooens them in order, and then moves them to a specific folder when you press a certain key

[compact cloud]

I'd like to hear that

Can anybody help me with a technical issue?
I have an MSI H110M gaming motherboard that works fine, I recently just bought two G.skill aegis DDR4 3600 ram sticks, but when putting them in, the PC doesn't work. This happens to me before when I would put ram in the second slot. The PC itself turns on but it just won't show anything on screen. When this happens, my gpu (gigabyte GTX 1050) would glow red instead of the usual gradient rainbow. So, I want to know what does this mean.

[subtle hawk]

what slots are you putting the ram in? in the proper dual channel slots?

Also pretty sure the RGB glowing red has nothing to do with status lights iirc red is supposed to be the “default” light setting for a few cards (eg. asus 1060) unless your manual states otherwise

[buoyant sapphire]

For mine it glows gradient rainbow when the PC is functioning ideally. It only turns red and orange when it refuses to show anything on screen.

The MSI H110M ONLY has two ram slot but for some reason I can't put two ram sticks in there without it not functioning properly.

[gloomy tinsel]

Did you test the RAM sticks in another system?

It could simply be that the motherboard is problematic. Sometimes, reflashing and resetting the BIOS helps, but it's a big ???

[flint bobcat]

@buoyant sapphire did you set it to 3600 mhz?

because your mobo's maximum speeds are 2133Mhz

[buoyant sapphire]

yeah, screw my motherboard. I think I might have to switch more than just my mobo, looks like I'm gonna need to get a new CPU, too. I have an intel pentium G4400.

[subtle hawk]

wait, you run pentium?

yeah, go get ryzen, they love that 3600mhz

[buoyant sapphire]

I chose pentium as a starter. at the time all I saw were CPUs that were too expensive, or too cheap. I really screwed myself up here because I planned to build with a good window for upgrades but instead I ended making something to linear.

[subtle hawk]

yeah don't cheap out on motherboard if you want to do that

[buoyant sapphire]

It's actually the CPU I was cheap with. Two year ago, my opinion of hardware was very skeptical, especially when under extremely low budget. I preferred to invest more money on the main and larger parts like motherboard and GPU. I was lucky to get my mobo at $80 at the time. Now I see MSI H110M is over $200.
I picked Intel at the time because this was the most recommended and it had good security. This was right before AMD made a comeback.

[gloomy tinsel]

I upgraded a friend's Ryzen build just now

[buoyant sapphire]

hard to tell if something like this is 3600mhz or not if it don't say it.

[subtle hawk]

it definetly is

[buoyant sapphire]

how can you tell?

[subtle hawk]

it's a X570 board

those can handle high speed ram

you had some potato pentium board and chipset

nobody puts high speed ram in those

[gloomy tinsel]

Even B350 boards can handle high speed RAM, to a certain degree

any difference between the exynos vs qualcomm s10

*real

and how's the s10 camera

[subtle hawk]

not much

at least the difference won't be noticeable to a normal user

as for the camera

there's probably a lot of detailed reviews of it online

but from my experience it's 👌

[gloomy tinsel]

Tbh the difference between a midrange phone CPU and any of the high end ones won't be noticeable to a normal user

If you're stressing the phone to the point where the difference shows, then 1) You aren't a normal user, and 2) You probably looked into detailed reviews of this topic anyway

The Pixel 3a feels super fast in normal workloads, including running AL, and that has a midrange CPU

Even in splitscreen mode

which is how I run it

Also, cameras on midrange phones are good now 🦊

At least some of them

The Pixel 3a at least has the same camera as the Pixel 3, and that is a good camera

[subtle hawk]

tfw pixel isn't sold here

it's either Samsung or Chinese phones

[subtle hawk]

imho

the pixel is shit

used to be gud

[gloomy tinsel]

The 3a is good in my books, I wouldn't get the higher end Pixels

Too expensive for what you're getting

Pixel 4 is subpar

Imo, Google should have stuck to the Nexus style of selling midrange but compelling enough phones

Sure, none of the Nexus phones were perfect, and some were outright duds, but for the ones that weren't duds, the compromises were acceptable for the price imo

Nexus 5 for example had a bad camera and questionable build quality, but that was fine for the price and year it was launched

[sinful plover]

Pixel can be sold 2nd handed

Hi

Anyone hanging around that consider themselves to know everything there is to know about current consumer computer hardware?

[subtle hawk]

doubtful that there is such a person anywhere

[stone granite]

well

okay, maybe not "everything there is to know", but at least "can identify components at a glance"

[subtle hawk]

just ask

if there's someone that can help they'll answer

[stone granite]

ok

guess what CPU this is

here's a shot of my HW monitor

you have 3 guesses

I was hoping to catch someone with a big ego

but anyone will work I suppose 😛

it's running on air, and it's stable at these speeds

[subtle hawk]

that's too vague to make a good guess

is it atleast AMD or Intel

[stone granite]

AMD

[subtle hawk]

it's too vague, yeah

it can even be an older FX series if there are actually 4 cores

yeah

or it could be a R5

[stone granite]

what info do I need to include?

short of the actual name of the CPU there's not much else to be said

[subtle hawk]

well

what RAM type

[stone granite]

b-die running at 3400 14-14-14-36

[subtle hawk]

what DDR

well if u said 3400 then it's most likely DDR4

[stone granite]

ye

[subtle hawk]

if it's DDR4 then it's either a R5

or a R3

[stone granite]

I think ddr4 + saying that it's AMD makes it too easy

but it's a 2600x

[subtle hawk]

yeah I was thinking it was that one

the old 1600 doesn't go as high

[stone granite]

turns out if you take a golden chip, and then disable the slowest cores

you can get it going pretty fucking fast

4230 min! a lot of them can't even get above 4200

if I want to turn this into a challenge to annoy people withg, what hints do you recommend I use

[subtle hawk]

well the RAM type and the manufacturer shoud be enough

[stone granite]

I don't want to spoil manufacturer

[subtle hawk]

especially since u disabled 2 cores

[stone granite]

I feel like that spoils the twist

cause 4 cores above 4300mhz looks like an intel chip

[subtle hawk]

lol

yeah initially I thought it was an intel cpu too

mine is not X though so can't even reach 4ghz

I was p sure it was a AMD one

since intel ones go way higher

[stone granite]

I think even just 4300mhz all-core is like top 1% of cpus

for 2600x

[subtle hawk]

well mine is also a golden chip

8700K

5.5 all cores

[stone granite]

it just blipped up to 5 ghz on hwmonitor and I'm pretty sure that's not correct

@gloomy tinsel I'm using Opera GX, the first gaming web browser.

[vagrant holly]

it's just a buzz word m8

i compared opera GX with normal opera

they are the same

GX is just fancy looking and calls itself a "gaming browser" that's it

it's like adding RGB lighting to a "gaming" chair, marketing bullshit

altho i guess rgb lighting at least is SOMETHING over nothing

[subtle hawk]

GAYMING

(tbh I couldn't tell if he was joking)

[subtle hawk]

or was he

[gloomy tinsel]

gaming browser

wot m8

Opera has fallem so low smh

[vagrant holly]

ye they game up with GX and called it a "gaming" browser

you start it up and the main page has all kinds of tiny noises as you hover over menus i guess to make it feel more "interactive" or something

you can deactivated them but i found it funny the first time

or at least i think you can deactivate them

it also has some dials to limit memory and cpu usage

but it's crazy amounts like

hold up i still have it installed

that's the main page it opens up to, which is kind of cute

but the main feature that's interesting in it is the "GX control" thingie

it looks like that

you basically use that slider below the dial to limit the amount of resources used

you can go limit it all the way down to 1gb of usage for ram and 17% usage for cpu

[gloomy tinsel]

At best it's still gimmicky

[vagrant holly]

oh shit they added a network limiter too

i mean i guess it could have it's own uses like, maybe you have a playlist on youtube for your music and you're really concerned about resource usage

or maybe you just like to listen to podcasts when playing mmos

i actually think they improved the limits

couze as far as i remember when i first tried it the limit was like, 2.5 gb for ram and 50% for cpu and that was the lowest you could go

if your browsing takes 2.5 gb or more you gotta clean up your browsing habits

they probably patched improved it recently by pushing it down to 1gb ram and 17% cpu

idk man now the control system doesn't seem all that bad

they seem to actually be doing something with this instead of slapping "gaming" on it

still kind of a niche userbase for it but i'm kind of ok with seeing them actually improving it

the little menu sounds are cute as fuck tho, i can see a 12 year old feeling like they are top shit when using GX

For those who are using Linux and using the Dictionary application in MATE, the term "selfie" is now actually a real English word, but this app doesn't have "selfie" in the dictionary database.

[mental coyote]

Selfie becoming an actual dictionary word is not surprising, considering (iirc) shit like "bae" and "fleek" already got in.

[sinful plover]

Deal with it bruh
It has become a model for most of the large corporations

I.e: my fav: Adobe (CS6 -> Cloud based)

Now i would rather use SAI

[subtle hawk]

well for adobe I'm fine

[sinful plover]

Well ofc why do you need a one time payment while you can have a consistent influx of money?

In exchange, you have to prove your product does give the end user what they bargained for.

[subtle hawk]

for creative tools I'm fine with such policy as long as they improve the software

but for open source software that's not ok

it's like you want the community to assist with development AND you want to get money off of it

you want to have the cake and eat it too

[sinful plover]

Why do I heck to donate the dev while I'm launching the kanji dictionary app?

If you are pleased of the product you are using, it's your choice whether to donate the dev for further optimisations or not.
They are humans like us, they do love the money. They need that to improve their well-being and motivation to improve the app itself.

Unlike big corporations, independent developers has different approaches to what they want to build.
Some devs made a living out of it and save them for skill building for interview/jobs.

[subtle hawk]

well if you put a paypal link on your profile it's fine

but me getting that damn message everytime I build my project with your lib included? that's too much

[sinful plover]

[subtle hawk]

I don't want my logs poisoned with ads

[sinful plover]

Unless you give them something worth more than money in rl or on the internet, they would gladly take the deal.

[subtle hawk]

look, does Microsoft or Google or Amazon or Linux developers get anything for contributing to open source software? no

it's just like research, you're not in for the money

you're in to help innovate and make the world a better place

[sinful plover]

I. Like. The. Debate. So. Far

[subtle hawk]

you want money? go work on proprietary corporate software

that will pay more than the donations you get from OSS

I can tell you that from my and other's experience

it's gotten this bad that people started making OSS libs that block those ads

[sinful plover]

Not everyone can cope with that. How about those want to make their own start-up?

The downside is that we don't know how the money will be spent.
Adsense does (not) generate enough

[subtle hawk]

funnily enough it's only JS and Python libs that do such practices

Java, C# and C/C++ libs are the way they're supposed to be

trust me those 100$ a month u get won't make a startup anytime soon

[sinful plover]

that's a great price

[subtle hawk]

this whole ads in terminal business is against the whole concept of OSS

that the software is open source, meaning anyone can download and use or modify it

provided they credit the original author(s)

[sinful plover]

How do you navigate good adblockers in a pool of saturated adblocks?

[sinful plover]

no

The question is: Am I the only one that has Windows 10 on a non-16:9 display?

My monitor display is currently 16:10.

no

16:10 and 16:9 are the most common aspect ratios

with 5:4 monitors being more of a niche thing

What about 4:3?

4:3 is like 2000s era

back when CRTs were mainstream

I used to have a 4:3 LCD monitor display on Windows 10 (1600x1200)

yes that was the highest resolution for 4:3

16:10 widescreen was introduced back in mid-2000's

yes

but it's still used today

I have the Dell E228WFP 22" LCD monitor, which was dated from November 2006. I found it on the thrift store. It still works well.

it should do good

modern displays come in 16:9, 21:9, 32:9 ratios

with special devices such as macbooks, surface devices and chromebooks coming with 3:2 ratios

1366x768 is just the worst 16:9 display tbh

Specially on laptops

But other than laptop displays this desktop monitor from 2006 works pretty well.

you know nothing from 2010 onwards comes with such small resolutions

unless it's dirt cheap

[gloomy tinsel]

I have a 16:10 secondary monitor

I prefer the aspect ratio to 16:9, slightly

[subtle hawk]

revy shut up

ur the walking definition of a hipster

[gloomy tinsel]

Yeah, I get that one sometimes

but seriously tho, taller aspect ratios are nicer to work on for some things

[subtle hawk]

why do u think u can turn monitors vertically now

[gloomy tinsel]

You make different compromises by turning monitors vertically, though

That's where 16:10 and 3:2 come in

no caps i was eyeing this one set on (Mass)Drop but they sold out of 1800 kits

[subtle hawk]

also seconded on the NKRO issue... except for a lot of the time it's not NKRO i run into, but converter limitations

[stone wave]

i do have caps lying around though

[subtle hawk]

5 PIN DIN ain't really friendly

[stone wave]

I was eyeing these: https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-mt3-dev-tty-keycap-set/reviews#reviews

but they dont have 1800 in-stock when i tried to checkout

so i'm sticking with my Maxkey Ashen R1

[subtle hawk]

ooh

those are clean SA caps

missed them for $70 not too long ago

but that was because i was looking at alps mount caps LOL

Windows 10 November 2019 Update is out—check the updates!

already did it

[subtle hawk]

on some of them

[weak lintel]

guys, RX570 or GTX 1060 Ti ?

gonna upgrade my pc cuz of my onboard graphic shit

[subtle hawk]

not even 1660?

[weak lintel]

budget

[subtle hawk]

oh, if you're on budget then go for AMD

[weak lintel]

im already using ryzen 3 2200g

but I have an interest for crossing to green team

[subtle hawk]

y tho

I don't know if 10 series still worth it

just get what's cheaper for u

the thing is, there's no decent alternative of RX 570

wdym the 10 series isn't worth it

nobody is a pro gamer

😆

[weak lintel]

also, im still dont know more about ram

im already using 8gbs DDR4-2400mhz

If i wanna add more rams, should I buy in the same 2400mhz?

[subtle hawk]

yes

you're limited to the slowest stick

[weak lintel]

[subtle hawk]

AMD

A M D

go underdog

go AMD

[weak lintel]

Go yellow team

amd + nvidia

[vagrant holly]

amd is best for budget builds

if you REALLY want to go green, the 1660 super (as controversial as it may be) is a pretty good option too

[weak lintel]

yeah, all of my friend suggest me to wait for that

before choosing old 1660 or rx570-580

[vagrant holly]

the 1660 super is already out, but if you want to save even more, there is also the rx 5500 coming out at some point early next year

[weak lintel]

holy shit

[vagrant holly]

it'll most likely be cheaper than the rx 5700

and might even be the new king of hyper budget builds

i'm just hyping it up at this point but considering how amd's new architecture worked out for them so far, it's possible

[weak lintel]

yeah now theyre better than before.

too much wattage for

[subtle hawk]

yeah that's why I asked is 1660 not an option

[vagrant holly]

if possible, the super variant of the 1660 super is good
