[rancid juniper]

me with an intel cpu: 🗿

[hoary zodiac]

noooo are you actually taking it as financial advice

[tranquil pebble]

I managed to break PCBS... CPU temp went into 100,000+ C temps

[rancid juniper]

huh??? HOW?

[gleaming sedge]

no as a idea/suggestion/ its part of the strategy

[elfin mural]

so huawei mate 30 pro is locked to android 10

oof

[gleaming sedge]

they annouce something new people want it the cost of their things go up

[elfin mural]

that's a bit too old

[hoary zodiac]

No that's inflation

[elfin mural]

these phones are pretty cheap

[tranquil pebble]

only happens in bios with max oc and voltage and like no cooler lol

[gleaming sedge]

ok i guess i dont and wont get it

[elfin mural]

but i guess mi 10t is a better option

[gleaming sedge]

rip

[rancid juniper]

you just made a sun inside your room

lol

[misty sparrow]

isn’t the latest version Android 16 or something

[hoary zodiac]

The cost of their products don't go up

[elfin mural]

no

[hoary zodiac]

The market share goes up

[elfin mural]

it's 14

[gleaming sedge]

thats what i ment sorry

[misty sparrow]

close enough

[tranquil pebble]

Give me a game like PCBS and I WILL find ways to break it or cause jank

[hoary zodiac]

Assuming that the product satisfies the stakeholders

If it doesn't

[elfin mural]

but im just kinda sad about the mate 30 series being stuck to 10

[hoary zodiac]

gg

[rancid juniper]

How are you not a QA tester?

😂

[pliant berry]

It’s all about appealing to investors, they like to see something that can generate revenue

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

[elfin mural]

google ban basically froze these great phones in time

[hoary zodiac]

Competitiveness and Stakeholder satisfaction

[gleaming sedge]

problem is Nvidia does not seem to release anything for about ever 3 to 4 years it seems that people actually like

[elfin mural]

i plan to use a phone for years lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Use these two criterias to evaluate the product

If they meet the criteria relative to competitor offerings

It might be a viable investment

[elfin mural]

well, even then nvidia stocks had a crazy growth just last year

[rancid juniper]

We have nothing phone so where is the susphone?

[gleaming sedge]

so become LTT then i can make some decent money off the stocks

[elfin mural]

but that's just a special event

[hoary zodiac]

This is what business class can get you

I love business studies

[elfin mural]

i love nothing phone but im broke

why would i be looking at used flagships anyway

if im not broke

[pliant berry]

Just start by reading what some critics have to say

[gleaming sedge]

my grandma said she would pay for one college class but i need more than just one if going to college

[rancid juniper]

People emulating GTA 5 on their new flagships be like:

[hoary zodiac]

Basically this whole conversation boils down to "do your research"

[elfin mural]

new budget phones are so stale

[gleaming sedge]

do your research and hope and pray a little

[rancid juniper]

Same SoC config too

[elfin mural]

they're all either high refresh ips with ok soc

[hoary zodiac]

Logic always wins

[elfin mural]

or oled with trash soc

[hoary zodiac]

Actually no that's a stupid statement

[elfin mural]

might as well go used flagships

[hoary zodiac]

Logic can be flawed

[elfin mural]

they offer everything

[hoary zodiac]

Ignore what i said

[elfin mural]

cam, screen, the whole experience

[hoary zodiac]

12pm no caffeine brain

[gleaming sedge]

i should have gotten dinner

[pliant berry]

Here’s one I was reading earlier

[gleaming sedge]

i just wish some day ill have a job i can fund a house or some kind of other income but we shall see what i have once around 40 maybe ill get my grandparents house after they pass at the moment thats the only shot of having a house i got

[elfin mural]

mediatek has good socs

but not enough phones uses their higher end stuff

sadge mobile market

it's like you either pay $300+ or get lost

unisoc.. exists

but they're a little slow

[rancid juniper]

Unisoc...

[elfin mural]

12nm tsmc

[rancid juniper]

Anybody remembers allwinner?

😏

[elfin mural]

they have some compelling socs now

but just

12nm

it's not as efficient as others

[hoary zodiac]

Isn't that larger than coffee lake

[gleaming sedge]

i guess i want dinner so good night time to sleep

[elfin mural]

it is

it's 12nm tsmc

[rancid juniper]

Intel gotta make Hotlake

[hoary zodiac]

Ahahah

[hoary zodiac]

Spacelake

[rancid juniper]

Magmalake

[elfin mural]

meanwhile

mtk chasing qcomm in node

[hoary zodiac]

New generation of cpu that performs mediocre

[elfin mural]

6nm

5nm

[hoary zodiac]

Even with new ram

[rancid juniper]

Cracktel

[hoary zodiac]

Yes I'm bashing skylake again

Help

I think I have an addiction

[elfin mural]

i just want something better than sd 695/g99

[hoary zodiac]

Used flagship?

[elfin mural]

ye

[hoary zodiac]

Surely 865s shouldn't be that expensive

[elfin mural]

i really like mate 30 pro

but a10

10t im still looking ofc

[rancid juniper]

i know what to do

[elfin mural]

maybe japanese stuff

[rancid juniper]

we need a mobile channel

[elfin mural]

sony, sharp

[rancid juniper]

too many channels

[hoary zodiac]

I like how this server isn't even newegg most of the time

[elfin mural]

funny enough sharp still had a physical home button lmao

[hoary zodiac]

It's just a tech server

[rancid juniper]

based

[elfin mural]

on sd 865 phone

[hoary zodiac]

We're not even affiliated

[elfin mural]

and it's a massive thing too

6.43 inches

[hoary zodiac]

We just ask people to buy the better product

Tfw the discord server named "newegg" has better tech support than pcmr and ltt

[rancid juniper]

And it's facts

LTT discord server is a disease in my eyes

PCMR sounds like a bully zone

[hoary zodiac]

Probably all children with too much money

[elfin mural]

aquos r5g is cool

but

[rancid juniper]

Why u got no 4090 + 14900ks?

[elfin mural]

battery life lol

[sweet phoenix]

Petition to change the name

[hoary zodiac]

No smashed side panel?

[sweet phoenix]

I wonder if that'd actually work

[hoary zodiac]

Would be funny

[elfin mural]

compared against 5000 mah chinese powerhouses

[hoary zodiac]

We just take over the server

[rancid juniper]

Heh

[elfin mural]

the sharp lasts less long

[sweet phoenix]

cough so same as now cough

[rancid juniper]

Techegg >>> Newegg

[sweet phoenix]

Sorry I think im sick

[hoary zodiac]

When laissez faire actually work

[sweet phoenix]

Flu or something

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/Dyvi5VUk2Os

this thing goes up to a13

not bad

probably world's last phone to ever retain physical home button

[rancid juniper]

wtf...

i dont think its working

[elfin mural]

lmao

[rancid juniper]

😡

[hoary zodiac]

That one core is being worked to death

Welp

[rancid juniper]

frick that core

[hoary zodiac]

Boarding now

[rancid juniper]

i want that achievement

[hoary zodiac]

Bye guys

[rancid juniper]

cya

LETS GOOOO

😂

[gleaming sedge]

Dinner time

[random osprey]

no ketchup?

[gleaming sedge]

Nah

I did not even add seasonings

[random osprey]

well thats understandable

but no ketchup for the chicken nuggets? sadge

[gleaming sedge]

They are not Nuggets

More like tenders but oh well

And of freaking course I drop my controller in my food

[icy ore]

Oh dear

[random osprey]

ah that boss

[icy ore]

insanely aesthetic area

boss big succ

[gleaming sedge]

Ya know what I'm done with these fruit Flys this house is getting bug bombed

2k ish square foot house I think I'll set off enough to cover a 6k square foot house

Anything and everything dead

[rancid juniper]

dang it, so close

[gleaming sedge]

Yea pretty much

Idk how I'm going to pay for gas if I buy them but oh well I'll have to find another way to work maybe

[icy ore]

Yard sale

[gleaming sedge]

Sell a my kidney maybe

[gleaming sedge]

Yea that does not work in the winter

[icy ore]

Ahhh it’s fineeeee somebody will come by

[gleaming sedge]

I mean I can think of another solution but I can put certain people through it

[compact mesa]

I was in here the other day talking about getting a labtop because I travel a lot, would it be recommended instead if I have the money to get a good pc and worse labtop just for the times I am on the road?

[sweet phoenix]

Imo yes

Especially with what you're willing to spend, lemme make a list rq

[compact mesa]

Thank you 🙏

Do you want me to add you and you can send it over?

[sweet phoenix]

You can change gpu as you want, id say anything from 6700xt to a 7900xtx you're fine with in this build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/69CFxH

4070 super would be a good choice imo

But also $600, so expensive. Could also do much cheaper overall and still have a much better experience (and performance) than the laptops you were looking at

[compact mesa]

Awesome!! Thank you so much man. You’re actually so helpful

[sweet phoenix]

Here's a cheaper option btw
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BvRgpB

And np at all, I know what to look for easily so it's quick for me, instead of you having to do hours and hours of research a lot of which is misleading or inaccurate

If you've any questions feel free to ask

[compact mesa]

Yeah I’m a bit lost right now but I’m hoping to learn

[sweet phoenix]

Keyboard, mice, headset, and mics I don't know much about but you can ask in #peripherals-and-displays if you'd like some help in that area

[compact mesa]

Most important think I’ve heard so far is just make sure you have a good cooling setup

Ok thank you!

[sweet phoenix]

Most important thing hands down is a good psu

Bad psu can kill a setup, or even burn a house down if bad enough

[compact mesa]

Oh wow

[sweet phoenix]

We have a tier list for power supplies pinned in #cases-psu-and-cooling , anything C tier and up is worth buying, but at your budget (and the gpus that come with the budget) B tier or A tier is ideal

[compact mesa]

Alright I will definitely make sure to get a good psu

I always like the best so I’ll probbaly go B+ minimum

[sweet phoenix]

The gf1 is kinda between B and a tier, but great psu

Especially at that price. It could run a 4090 with a 7600 no problem

[compact mesa]

How much does it honestly cost to build a decent pc? Because so far this is way cheaper than expected

[compact mesa]

Wow

[sweet phoenix]

That's a very solid pc. The motherboard is a lil bit on the cheaper side, but am5 motherboard have very overkill VRMs, which is cpu power delivery

Bad vrms could limit a cpu, but even the low end of this generation of motherboards can run a 7950x

If you want to spend a bit more, could go for b650 pro rs or msi b650m-a wifi

[compact mesa]

I’m going to be honest half of what you’re saying makes no sense to me, but from what I do understand it seems like you’re hooking me up well

[sweet phoenix]

I'm sorry yeah I'm trying to explain it but I dont know how to well enough atm, I'm half awake

[compact mesa]

HahHa me too I’ll probbaly understand better tmr morning

[sweet phoenix]

Are you leaning more towards the first or second list? I could change a couple things to be a bit nicer for not too much more

[compact mesa]

I think the first, but to be honest I need to look at them a little closer to really know what I’m feeling

I do wanna do a little of my own research as well

[sweet phoenix]

Understandable, here's the first list a bit nicer
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bTrYwg

If you want to spend more, I'd change the gpu to 4070 super

For a monitor comparison tool, rtings.com has one if you want to compare models you find to the one in that list

[compact mesa]

Ok perfect! I’ll definitely use that

[sweet phoenix]

And for gpu/cpu comparison, passmark.com has a comparison tool for that as well

It's not great for comparing amd gpus to nvidia gpus though

7800xt is a little bit better than a regular 4070, the 4070 super is around 15% better I believe? Not 100% sure on that

[compact mesa]

Wow, that’s a lot to take in

I’ll do my best to remember all of this but I may need another reminder in the future

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah sorry for the overload of info, trying to give a rough break down quickly

Of course, feel free to ping me anytime

[compact mesa]

Aweosme thank you! And no worries I appreciate it! You’re just being extra helpful

Just a quick reminder to read the rules

And have fun

Last guy

Linus

Linus Sebastian

[lone mango]

[dusk knot]

If you're into tech, you have to know him

[misty sparrow]

Trying to help someone with their PC, apparently it won’t turn on with two RAM sticks inserted

my brain is fried

[lone mango]

Did you say to swap the sticks to see if one of them are busted

[misty sparrow]

Yeah apparently both sticks work individually

It’s just that it won’t work with both inside

[lone mango]

What if its the cpu

[misty sparrow]

well the cpu light did turn on along with the ram light

[lone mango]

What about different ram slots

[misty sparrow]

I only told him to do two and four

[lone mango]

Only thing i can think of is motherboard or cpu memory controller or something

Besides that idk

Last resort I would try reseating but if that dont fix it, i got no clue ngl

[elfin mural]

what kit, mobo, cpu

[misty sparrow]

Apparently he fixed it by messing with the speeds

[elfin mural]

i suspect it's the case of buying ram too fast for cpu to handle

yep, i said it

[misty sparrow]

They were set to 4800MHz when his kit could do 6000

[elfin mural]

6000 should easily run on anything tho, hm

wonky xmp i guess

updating bios is worth a try

[misty sparrow]

apparently people have had problems with the same mobo he had

found a post made three months ago about it on Reddit

[lone mango]

Damn i was way off

[elfin mural]

then it's worth a bios update

[misty sparrow]

Good thing too

If it went wrong he would’ve had to buy more for his already over budget setup

with his 7800x3d and 4070

[elfin mural]

dang

also missed the 4070s

[wary fjord]

4070sti better

[elfin mural]

actually it's ti super

combustible lemons... not useful as a PSU

[craggy shoal]

I still don't understand how or why some people will try to use a 5W charger with a whole iPad

morning thoughts idk

"If big charger work then so does small charger"

[atomic current]

https://storage-asset.msi.com/global/picture/image/feature/monitor/PRO-MP241X/VESA-Mountable-2.jpg

[tranquil pebble]

I use an 85W charger with my phone (it was built for it though lol)

[craggy shoal]

I'll sometimes use a 100W charger for my iPhone (it's okay I hate this phone too)

[last mango]

Real

[craggy shoal]

I could pump 130W into it with a USB C to Lightning adapter

[last mango]

I’m killing my battery life and I’m already thinking which android phone to go back

[elfin mural]

samsung i guess

living with xiaomi, it's annoying

miui has glitches that really annoy me

[craggy shoal]

nah (hot take incoming) Samsung is becoming the Apple of Android. I'd only go with the Flip or Fold if I went Samsung

[elfin mural]

im not reccing the top end stuff

[velvet summit]

hoping that google truly keeps up with their promise of 7 year support for the pixel 8 since they have so many replacement parts on ifixit that it would be cool if i end up doing a battery swap when it degrades, i would still be able to use the phone

[elfin mural]

im talking about midrange

[velvet summit]

probably will swap in 3-4 years

[last mango]

I wish Huawei wasn’t banned off the USA market

[elfin mural]

google always deliver on their update promise

[craggy shoal]

I'm hoping I can convince my gf to switch to Android in the near future

[elfin mural]

i really want a huwei but even in asian market

[velvet summit]

https://canada.ifixit.com/search?pf_t_model=Model%3DGoogle+Pixel+8

[elfin mural]

getting google services to work is a pain in the bum

unless i pay someone to do it

[last mango]

But yeah Samsung either s24 ultra or Fold 5

[elfin mural]

huawei made it hard intentionally

to push their huawei services

[last mango]

I hear fold 6 is coming out in August so probably I should wait

[craggy shoal]

I want a Fold lol. Just to flex that I have a tablet and phone in one device

[elfin mural]

now their harmony os next won't support apk at all

the version after harmony os 4.0 with android compatibility

[last mango]

That’s wack

[elfin mural]

they're definitely locking down to china only at this point

[last mango]

Me too lol I’m gonna be using extended screen to just read stuff while lounging

[craggy shoal]

this exactly

[elfin mural]

im interested in used phones cuz i hate android budget phones

they have stagnated performance wise

[last mango]

Well this is a oofers. Huawei almost overtook Apple and Samsung in q4 sales during Trumps time.

[elfin mural]

only got better in screen and cam

[craggy shoal]

What about the the Pixel?

[last mango]

And trump was like Huawei is a spy

Bans

[elfin mural]

pixel is non existent

unless im willing to get a used one from china

[craggy shoal]

I forgot you're in Asia(?) Is the Pixel not available there?

[elfin mural]

otherwise, eh, hard

im in thailand

[last mango]

I still have an Huawei Y9s lol

It’s sitting unused in my crate

[elfin mural]

japan has pixels but the importers here are greedy af

$300 for used pixel 6a

[last mango]

And how much is that for retail

[elfin mural]

my best bet for a foreign phone that's not chinese brands are sony and sharp

[craggy shoal]

I forgot about Sharp lol

lol didn't even know Sharp made phones

[elfin mural]

sharp just chugging along quietly, selling phones domestically

they've always made phones

but jdm ofc

their phones are designed kinda like how sony thinks a phone should be

[craggy shoal]

That explains why I didn't know lol (I'm in America)

[elfin mural]

i kinda want a sharp, but their batts aren't the biggest

[last mango]

Wow

I forgot sharps made tvs

[elfin mural]

i got used to 5000 mah xiaomi monsters lmao

[last mango]

I don’t even see their TVs on American shelves anymore

[elfin mural]

funny thing is sharp supports their phones longer than sony does

aquos r5g is updated to android 13

meanwhile xperia 1/5 ii, 12

[last mango]

💀

[elfin mural]

maybe i might sell my poco m5 and just extend budget for a newer japanese phone

they're purest to android as it gets

even puts google pixel to shame

it's pretty much aosp with their own features sprinkled

https://m.gsmarena.com/sharp_aquos_r5g-11843.php

btw 12gb ram in 2020

insanity

still got a physical home button

[craggy shoal]

can't you just reinstall Android to get a fresh install? like without spyware or anything? cough Huawei cough

[elfin mural]

no

they're bootloader locked

with no way to unlock

[craggy shoal]

ew

[elfin mural]

at least not officially

[craggy shoal]

but I guess iPhones are the same way so maybe I shouldn't say ew to that

but still lol. it's your phone. you should be able to do stuff like that

[elfin mural]

i really like this aquos r5g, but the battery kinda deters me

i might actually grab a mi 10t and custom rom it

[pliant berry]

Get 2 phones

[elfin mural]

i used to do that with my lg v30

it's a kinda painful experience

[pliant berry]

1 for all your black market deals and one for everything else

[elfin mural]

the lg was the gaming phone

wifi only

my old redmi 8 was the first

keeps banking stuff n all

[last mango]

Tfw when a gaming phone is more better than its consumer competitors

[devout forum]

huh

seems like the 8700G will cost roughly the same as a 7500f and a 6500 XT here

[craggy shoal]

huh

[devout forum]

I mean the dGPU is still faster

But that is pretty good for a single chip

[elfin mural]

you'd be surprised with how slow 6500xt is

it needs fsr enabled at 1080p low to lead 780m that only spits a little less frames at native

low preset too ofc

can i dm u?

I feel like there should be someplace that has cheaper hardware in that region. I'm seeing some listings for around 50900yen on dospara. I don't know of their reputation or shipping though, not very good at reading jp xD

[rancid juniper]

😂

[wind quail]

Differentiation? Just -5 isn't it

[mental yoke]

there def is, i think the person didnt bother checking

[rancid juniper]

lets see

[rancid juniper]

ye u right

[pliant berry]

though it is an island. not sure how their import tax is with some neighboring countries. From what I saw newegg is still one of the most used online retailers for tech there

With differentiation they complicate it wayy too much, you basically just divide by x etc, if it is just a number it gets ignored

Except for a couple exceptions like e^x which stays the same

[rancid juniper]

thanks, its been months since ive done math and i just started on hw again

[wind quail]

Np

[rancid juniper]

if only i had good memory or something

[wind quail]

I don't like how they worded that question, using difference qutoa

[pliant berry]

man I think it has been like 4 years since I did math

[wind quail]

4 years of it in college ingrained it into my skull pretty well enough

[rancid juniper]

you failed to fill your quota, FIRED

[rancid juniper]

dayum

[rancid juniper]

actually learned

[pliant berry]

When I have to do calc ima die

[rancid juniper]

me however, bout to get AA and i dont think i learned anything

[wind quail]

Nah ptsd

[rancid juniper]

[wind quail]

Nono I'm done finally

Graduated 2023

Yipee

[rancid juniper]

what major im curious

[pliant berry]

that's what you think

[hoary zodiac]

Good morning wegg

[rancid juniper]

good morning airplane user

[wind quail]

We don't have majors here we just have x course y course, the only course that works the way the American system does where you can just kinda pick whatever is Arts, but my course was robotics and intelligent devices (computer engineering/elec engineering and comp sci with a sprinkling of robotics)

[rancid juniper]

bro got the hybrid major

wow...

[wind quail]

For reference here was my 2nd year sem 1 timetable

[rancid juniper]

how do you not have a headache?

you were a full time student right?

ill feel wack if you did this part time

😭

[wind quail]

Hence the ptsd

[wind quail]

Yee

[rancid juniper]

ok ok

[wind quail]

My course had the highest drop out rate in the college i think

At least one of

[rancid juniper]

LOL

[deep parcel]

its honestly kinda nuts how fast it sold

[rancid juniper]

yea, its crazy. Even though for example SF6 sold 3 mil copies, they had to reach that in a few months

but this game, THIS GAME DID IT IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS

heck its #2 on twitch RN (view count)

350K playing on steam

honestly crazy stuff

hopefully they use that money to hire actual designers to redesign all the "monsters" before the RED N strikes

[unreal trail]

you know whats crazy? my ex

[rancid juniper]

crazy my guy

[pliant berry]

my ex was crazy too

if they existed that is

[unreal trail]

If Nintendo actually pulled the "unfair competition" card, I'll bust a gut laughing

[rancid juniper]

honestly i would laugh too

somehow they'll find a way to pull this game out the market

there is no way they can let this slide

☠️

[deep parcel]

I mean is it any different than what digimon has done in the past?

[rancid juniper]

digimon tried to be vastly different

effort was put into that

[deep parcel]

yeah but still similar concept

[rancid juniper]

this however is a parody game with just a bunch of redesigns to not get striked by nintendo

its working

[rancid juniper]

🤔

funny how yokai watch also fell off

beyblade too

yugioh also fell off

Huh

So

Turns out that the 7900 XT is ~40% more expensive for me
For about 30% more perf in 1440p

[rancid juniper]

We truly did not believe in the heart of the cards

[devout forum]

IDK if going from 80fps mins to 120fps mins would be noticable

[dusk knot]

Yes

[devout forum]

for 35-40% more money

[dusk knot]

Its noticeable

[devout forum]

Really?

[pliant berry]

I have a cd with no release date how am I suppose to sort this

[devout forum]

you'd think that with VRR it'd be fine?...

But
The more you know

[dusk knot]

80 fps still feels like a smoother 60fps, but once you go above 100fps or so, things start to get really smooth imo( not enough for FPS games imo) @devout forum

[devout forum]

I guess I'll be saving up for the 7900 XT in that case

I feel like the XTX is just too expensive

but idk if it'd be worth it

the 7900 XT is 328k Hungarian monopoly money
The XTX is 430k

it's ~25% jump

and I doubt it's 25% faster

[dusk knot]

Hmm

The XTX is just going to last a little bit longer

[devout forum]

It just feels pointless for me to pay ~30% more for like 10fps

[dusk knot]

Get the XT

good buy

[mental yoke]

hate to tell you this.

but pc's are cheaper for one reason.

drugs you use them and they gone.

pcs you have a physical object.

pc games however.

[devout forum]

But then you need to buy drugs again to use it again

[spark halo]

it is the fact pc games are online now.

[devout forum]

And you technically still own the games you buy

[spark halo]

doesn't matter.

you buy the code, activate it, guess what now? you can't trade it or sell it.

thats it

why can't we have a professional level open source software like blender but for photo editing and digital art

blender gets ignore like for long time xD

[deep parcel]

I still have cs6 and 2021 PS lol

[dusk knot]

ay

[mighty hazel]

😭😭

Some people don’t even have supported hardware for it

[pliant berry]

Tbh adobes apps, especially photoshop and lightroom are really well priced. There is other software out there if you are a hobbyist but for professional there isn’t too much competition

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

The subscription model is good if you use them professionally

[pliant berry]

No need to be pressured into buying it because “that’s what everyone else uses”

[hoary zodiac]

It is kinda annoying tho

Adobe software's got all the good features

[pliant berry]

Capture one drives me insane though, 30usd/month or you can buy perpetual license for like 300. But if you use a new camera you gotta pay full extra for support of the camera

[hoary zodiac]

I wish adobe has a subscription model for hobbyists who only use one or two creative cloud apps
