It's Michaelangelo Jackson

[nocturne flicker]

I'd watch it

Bet it has some good musical scenes

[worthy tapir]

Anyone know what Jen this is

[mortal grail]

Jennifer

[dusk knot]

gen 1???

[gentle canyon]

Totk wasn’t that good imo

I got around to playing BOTW during covid and loved it as my first loz game, waited for like 3 years with big hype for totk and it just felt emtoty

[dusk knot]

pumkin created

[unreal trail]

make game assets, get paid

[echo thistle]

I honestly don't get the appeal for either, but ig that's just me since I don't really like any singleplayer games.

[unreal trail]

depends on the kind of games you like

[echo thistle]

currently I'm only playing apex legends, but I used to spend way too much time on minecraft

[dusk knot]

sculpting characters is the goal for now

[unreal trail]

TotK isn't my flavor of Zelda, but on a tech level, it's phenominal

[echo thistle]

I tried animal crossing, botw, and totk. I got bored on all of them honestly

[inner hollow]

I just spent

Way too much time

Way too much

Helping an elderly woman set up Okta 2 step verification

[echo thistle]

of course, they're running this amazing(ish) graphical open world game, on 7-8 year old mobile hardware.

[inner hollow]

All the while she's ripping me and ITS to shreds for this that and the other

Only to discover she was attempting to set up the app on a second gen ipad from 2011

[echo thistle]

the wonders of IT

[inner hollow]

I hate it here

Why

[gentle canyon]

As a brand new type of game and genre to me, 15 year old me loved botw, especially when I was home for covid

[inner hollow]

How was she even able to get the app on there

[unreal trail]

it's running a combination of physics and open construction mechanics on a decade old mobile chip

[inner hollow]

I'm genuinely baffled

[gentle canyon]

It took me over a year just to get back into finishing Toto

Totk

[worthy tapir]

Pikmin 4 best switch game

[echo thistle]

I used to want to do IT work since I was good with tech, but after I heard many many horror stories of people just not using common sense I gave up on the idea

[inner hollow]

Its the elderly

They hate us

[unreal trail]

unfortunately, while they were building funny physics sandbox, they forgor to build the Zelda game along with it

[echo thistle]

it's not only them, it's just people who refuse to think for a few seconds or even read the manual

[inner hollow]

And refuse to gain even the smallest grip on it

[echo thistle]

they succeeded on funny physics sandbox though, so a win in my eyes

[inner hollow]

Like

They can't shut down their computer

They refuse to learn how

[unreal trail]

I guess, but they should have did what they always do when they want to develop tech.. make a goofy side game

[gleaming sedge]

Looking for a tablet under 160 would this be a good pick? Just going to use it for some games, videos, Google maps, and shopping https://a.co/d/8MLSagh

[echo thistle]

it's absurd how stubborn they can be

[echo thistle]

one of the better options iirc, but getting a used tab s7 or something along those lines would be far more powerful

[inner hollow]

And yell at us because of this

Like this lady was full on screaming in my ear about how we need to get our shi+ together for 40 minutes

While trying to use an ipad from over a decade ago

To download a modern app

[echo thistle]

doing IT with family over the phone is already annoying enough, with random people it will be much worse

[inner hollow]

Its unpleasent to say the least

[echo thistle]

I'd bet that she says it still works well

[inner hollow]

Lots of people are fine to work with

The vast majority

[echo thistle]

tech support on a server like this one is much more enjoyable

[inner hollow]

"I can still read my books on it I don't see what the problem here is"

I genuinely don't understand how the battery still works at all

Like

On paper it shouldn't

[echo thistle]

I have an ipad 2 and it still works (mostly) fine

[inner hollow]

Those batteries aren't meant to last this long

[gleaming sedge]

Ok thanks

[echo thistle]

but charging is slow and most of the apps you just can't download because of how old it is

[echo thistle]

no problem man

[inner hollow]

I'm surprised you can download any

I don't think you should be able to run a new enough version of ios to even get it to let you into the appstore

No hate

[echo thistle]

you just have to find apps that have been around for that long

[echo thistle]

you definitely can

[inner hollow]

Wild

[echo thistle]

youtube doesn't work though

[inner hollow]

Yeah I'm sure

In all fairness to these apps letting that old of hardware onto their platform is a major security risk considering how vulnerable it is

[echo thistle]

true that

but i'm surprised at how many apps still do support it

[inner hollow]

I'm surprised any do

Well spoiler alert Okta doesn't

Letting you know now

[echo thistle]

bro, I charged this ipad 2 months ago, and the battery is still at 78%

[inner hollow]

Does it get hot when its on

[echo thistle]

nope

[inner hollow]

Wild

[echo thistle]

this should not be this good

almost at ds level

[inner hollow]

It really shouldn't

It really shouldn't be able to hold that long of a charge at all even new

[echo thistle]

sadly does have a icloud lock on it, but I can get rid of it decently easily

for a little while, at least

before it comes back

[pliant berry]

… what

Is it a bug or is it not yours

[misty sparrow]

where did you take this test

?

[velvet summit]

https://mymentalage.com/

[misty sparrow]

You know, when you sent me that test I thought it was about getting math questions correct

but no, it just gives you random unrelated stuff like "What is your political views" and "What do you think about Miley Cyrus"

[wary fjord]

deym

make it more cheaper please

[mortal grail]

Wtf is wrong with y'all

[rancid juniper]

time to pressure amd

[mortal grail]

I'm like the oldest one here and closest to my inner child

Wth

[wary fjord]

no

soda is carbonated

ketchup is not

checkmate

[mortal grail]

Tomie there's a second half

[misty sparrow]

sports drinks have electrolytes but ketchup doesn't

[mortal grail]

💀

[misty sparrow]

double checkmate

[mortal grail]

Ok, so ketchup is in fact cordial

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-no-u-no-you-reverse-uno-uno-gif-22508660

[rancid juniper]

bruh

gotta retake

☠️

[misty sparrow]

is ketchup liquidy enough to drink though?

nah

it isnt

you cant "drink" ketchup

[mortal grail]

Anything is if you're crazy enough

Hey you can still pour it into ur mouth

[mortal grail]

No wonder we, the weird ones, get along so well

[rancid juniper]

😂

[misty sparrow]

ketchup has similar properties to shaving cream, in a way

both aren't liquids

they're both paste-like substances

[mortal grail]

So you would say it's more like cool hwhip

[misty sparrow]

yeah

cool whip is technically a condiment

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-stewie-cool-hwip-cool-whip-whipped-cream-gif-20602328

[mortal grail]

So we can put cool hwip on hot dogs and ketchup on cake

[misty sparrow]

if you want to you can

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

I'm allergic in both situations so I won't

[misty sparrow]

would you rather mix orange soda and pepsi together

[rancid juniper]

no

wtf?

[mortal grail]

Which orange soda

Fanta

Passiona

[misty sparrow]

any

the germans love it

they call it "spezi"

[mortal grail]

Hm

I've never tried it

I can imagine what it tastes like and it's probably not all bad

I might mix ngl

[leaden pewter]

bout accurate

[wary fjord]

ha weak xD

[rancid juniper]

Bro...

[lone mango]

Yeah and for school lunches they wanted to make ketchup a vegetable so they can meet the veggie requirements and put more artificial slop on the tray

[wary fjord]

jk i purposly fail the test xD i got 28 first try

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

Ah

Fair

[worthy meteor]

Yea you can easily tell what is the old answer and what is the young answer

[wary fjord]

i think i can make it even lower

like age 1

[worthy meteor]

first try going for older answers

[misty sparrow]

ketchup really doesn't classify as a veggie

[wary fjord]

deym what do you say about miley cyrus

[lone mango]

I know

[misty sparrow]

sure its got tomatoes and stuff but it goes through so much manufacturing stuff

its not even a tomato anymore

[lone mango]

They know that too

[misty sparrow]

ive seen pictures of the school lunches kids are served at high schools

[wary fjord]

gmo tomato sucks

farm raised tomato ❤️

[worthy meteor]

everything wrong with kids today

lol

[wary fjord]

hahaha

i knew it

[rancid juniper]

its for the techies xD

[wary fjord]

she is a opera singer

[wary fjord]

i can already imagine if someone ask.. whats the brand of your prebuild... "SEJISHI" what? "SEJISHI" what? xD

it sounds muffled when u say it

[sinful blade]

Reviews say that the entire pc was set to Chinese

Like Microsoft edge too lmao

[wary fjord]

why they do that

the fan says rgb fan

no rpm

cfm

[tranquil pebble]

Celeron killer

[mortal grail]

Just drink it instead smh

[wary fjord]

amd probabaly make integrated ram on their cpu soon

[mortal grail]

It's cordial

[wary fjord]

then integrated gpu is already done

[sinful blade]

The greatest part

Is the guy saying he had to replace the fans because they lit up into his hallway lmao

[wary fjord]

yeah when non tech people sees it.. it means business they are serious about this build

[worthy meteor]

lol

[wary fjord]

must be "worth" it

[lone mango]

fr

[worthy meteor]

that happens when you have a Chinese version of windows

[wary fjord]

this is new

[worthy meteor]

not just language set to chinese, there's a chinese version

[rancid juniper]

Been there for a few good months now iirc

[misty sparrow]

it must be listing the wrong modern warfare 2/3

[wary fjord]

yeah its very nice feature

[misty sparrow]

how could a build get 225 FPS in counterstrike 2 but get less in old MW2/MW3

[sinful blade]

Newegg+ is also new

[misty sparrow]

in fact MW2 gets less than MW3

how

[rancid juniper]

COD naming scheme be trash

[misty sparrow]

they havent been good for over a decade now

[pliant berry]

Dang

[gray dock]

yeah ik its fine

wtv

[wary fjord]

really felix haha u into those cable

[mortal grail]

Ye I like the braided ones

Much nicer

[wary fjord]

i mean like rgb cables

i think xpg has one

[mortal grail]

Do they?

I'd believe it but I can't be bothered with xpg very often

[wary fjord]

its a real one

not just overlay clip

on top of them

the whole cable glow xD

[mortal grail]

Wow actually

I think those kinda look better

Not like that tho

[wary fjord]

the comb also space them out i guess so they dont burn each other

[mortal grail]

Adata generally make nice things

Their problem is both in marketing and price point

[wary fjord]

xpg is under adata right:?

[mortal grail]

They just don't exist anywhere

Like ghosts

Ye

[fervent pollen]

👀

[mortal grail]

I love recommending adata as they usually make good stuff

But yeah they just aren't ever really cheap

[wary fjord]

their psu are pog tho

xpg core one

[mortal grail]

Indeed

[wary fjord]

it even has sticker on it

like bunch of sticker

xD

i dint even use mine yet

xpg nvme is iffy tho

at 2020 they have this drama where they swap parts

and still sell it as the same thing

and now the perf varries even tho its a same kit

[mortal grail]

All ssd brands do it

Just a question of who gets caught

[wary fjord]

yeah most of them

even crucial

[mortal grail]

Asus does this too lol

[wary fjord]

maybe shortage

xD

like 100 bucks for 850w xpg core psu is not bad at all

and its modular and its small

it even pass on tier list as recommended single rail one

[mortal grail]

Msi stonk

[wary fjord]

ow i forgot about this

4090 prebuilt for $2,600?????

@mortal grail you seein this?

[velvet summit]

There's an ant in the birdcage

[mortal grail]

Wow it actually has a full spec list that looks fine apart from the aio

It's refurbished but may as well be new

[sinful blade]

Does anyone here have $2650 I can borrow rq

[mortal grail]

That's about as close as you'd get for a 4090 build rn without building

[sinful blade]

Literally

[mortal grail]

From scratch it's about 2570 for slightly better

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sm2YZJ

[sinful blade]

So maybe $170 for building fees+shipping

[mortal grail]

Nah they're making a loss

[sinful blade]

Should I post in #tech-deals ?

[mortal grail]

Sure

The parts list is good, even the aio is probably fine until it's not

Needs a bios update tho

Almost 5 grand and no i9

[sinful blade]

That’s why it being $2600 is a great deal

[sweet phoenix]

this would be comparable build diy https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yPTDvj

Idk if the other one has a 4090 ngl but probably

[tranquil pebble]

I'm going to be getting a ROG Ally soon and probably use it for more than just gaming

[pliant berry]

im most likely going to start using my deck as a second computer in the summer because my pc makes the room too hot to get anything done lol

[misty sparrow]

Apparently Walmarts are selling SSDs on clearance

anyone find good stuff?

[pliant berry]

is this walmart or temu

[misty sparrow]

If you click on it and see “shipped by [company]” then you know it’s not Walmart

oh never mind that’s 100% fake

not even Walmart would have that

looked like a Samsung external at first

it looks like they asked ai to put the text on it xD

end of an era

[sinful blade]

Xbox 360 should’ve died years ago

[dusk knot]

true

[swift sable]

what is wrong with u

[sinful blade]

I am an Xbox fanboy

[dusk knot]

its old, far

[swift sable]

shuddup

ur old

[dusk knot]

so are you

[sinful blade]

Keeping the 360 in dev circulation and having to keep games toned down enough to be able to run it there, was a terrible decision

Should’ve died when the series x was released

[swift sable]

arent u in ur mid 20s

boomer

[dusk knot]

you'll probably be in a retirement home at the same time as me

[spiral mortar]

I am moving to a different state in like a few days and need to sell like 4 old laptops and like 6 old phones and like 3 monitors and amazon fire tablet. Is there a store i can sell them really quickly? Some of these phones/laptops/monitors may have cracked screens or other defects. Others are brand new and only used a couple months. I dont mind selling them for a cheap price but I do need to sell them quick. Where can I sell them quick?

[sinful blade]

Mercari, label them very cheap.

@spiral mortar

[wary fjord]

xbox and microsft will part ways?

but they own xbox

[sinful blade]

They’re the same “company”

[wary fjord]

i know why not support microsoft now

[sinful blade]

Xbox 360 will no longer be able to use the store

[wary fjord]

is that bad

or good news

[sinful blade]

Good

It’s basically no longer limiting cross-gen games after that point

Games like d2, fortnite, cod, etc will all be able to improve their game without worrying about limitations of 360 gen hardware

[wary fjord]

but you gonna get the pc version anyway if u play xbox at windows

i thought before its emulated lol

i was like.. nice microsoft letting us play xbox games

[sinful blade]

Lemme explain

[wary fjord]

xD

ok

[sinful blade]

Xbox 360, Xbox one, and Xbox series consoles are all still in active development of games

Xbox 360 is basically like playing on a 1GB gpu, while Xbox one is 6gb and series x is a 12gb

Devs still have to worry about the game working on that 1GB, whole maintaining quality on the 12GB. Leading to a massive bottleneck.

They’re taking away the ability to purchase any game after next month, so companies can start dropping the support for 360 titles

This is not factual, just an example

If you wanna know how long it’s been up

[wary fjord]

hmm i see

[sinful blade]

Xbox making good decisions

[wary fjord]

im not sure if this is catterpillar

Have you guys ever seen a brand new cpu with scuffs on it?

On the left side of it you can see

what does scuffs mean

ow

i think that cpu is returned xD

Many areas still get 4G speeds or worse on 5G anyways so 6G seems pretty useless

[wary fjord]

for now

xD

also do we need to ugprade our tinfoil helmet

[gilded kraken]

its a great game

[deep parcel]

nah but everything was new and there was zero sign of thermal paste

also was new from newegg. if newegg sold me a used item that wouldnt be neat. also it was still factory sealed.

[icy ore]

Large cutie caterpillar

[velvet summit]

It is possible but I've never seen it damaged before cosmetically

[deep parcel]

coulda been when they were testing the cpu at the factory maybe

[velvet summit]

I don't think light scuffs on an edge of an IHS would fail inspection

What's goin on there‽

[heavy dew]

Hello everyone

In todays news

I bought 28 laptops from goodwill

@velvet summit

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-reaffirms-zen5-based-strix-point-apus-on-track-for-2h-2024-launch

[tranquil pebble]

Radeon iGPUs have been the best iGPUs for decades now and it looks like they're not about to stop

[rancid juniper]

40CU RDNA 3.5 apu sounds cracked af but the memory is gotta choke it hard

[tranquil pebble]

Even with a memory bottleneck, it will destroy every other iGPU more than likely

[rancid juniper]

RTX 4070???

am i seeing this correctly?

no shot

[tranquil pebble]

GPU itself might be up to that spec if it wasn't memory bottlenecked, but real world performance will be WAY lower

[rancid juniper]

yea thats likely the case

but now thinking about it, the power on that apu is absurd

[tranquil pebble]

just have to wait for benchmarks ig

you'd definitely want one of the 256 bit memory ones

They should make an APU Threadripper

I want to see an APU with more than dual-channel RAM XD

[rancid juniper]

too cracked bro

"dont want to dominate the competition"

-AMD

[wary fjord]

they have to make the chip

rectangle

xD

to fit more lanes

[rancid juniper]

the fattest rectangle you'll ever see

[tranquil pebble]

Well, epyc APUs are likely to happen at this point seeing as there will be AM5 variants

[rancid juniper]

thats epyc

[wary fjord]

is this epyc can be installed in am5? @tranquil pebble

i see it has similar shape now

[tranquil pebble]

I shouldnt need to say why APU is convenient for servers...

[tranquil pebble]

it might need its own chipset

but yes the socket is AM5

[velvet summit]

🕷️

[tranquil pebble]

spiders remind me of cars

[velvet summit]

How are they going to have all the PCIe support on am4

Am5

Misclick

[tranquil pebble]

They wont

They're not replacing the SP socket

Think of it as lower-power/budget Epyc

[velvet summit]

Oh

That makes more sense

[tranquil pebble]

Sort of like how there are Xeons that are on consumer-like sockets

AMD seems to be going in for the kill on those lower end Xeons

AM5 Epyc will also likely have stronger single thread performance and find use in things like game servers.

Either way it definitely has a place

[velvet summit]

Inb4 my personal rig uses epyc

[tranquil pebble]

I put a Threadripper Pro in my PC so I already do use a rebadged Epyc lol

[velvet summit]

My PC is epyc

[tranquil pebble]

Socket SP3

has the full 128 lanes, and 8 memory channels

one off build, not planning on doing that again

[velvet summit]

Is there even a benefit for 8 memory channels for a client pc

[tranquil pebble]

Yes, more memory bandwidth

[velvet summit]

Like, quad channel came and went within a single generation of the core series lmao

[tranquil pebble]

even quad channel on DDR4 results in DDR5 bandwidth levels

[velvet summit]

Damn

[tranquil pebble]

more channels means wider bus basically

[velvet summit]

I wonder how many channels the epyc am5 would have

[tranquil pebble]

2

AM5 can not support more than that AFAIK

[velvet summit]

[tranquil pebble]

Well, 4 technically due to DDR5

but same bit width as 2 DDR4 channels

Pretty sure more channels needs more CPU pins... kinda like more PCIe lanes do.

[velvet summit]

Prob

[tranquil pebble]

given that RAM connects directly to the CPU these days most definitely

integrated memory controller was actually an AMD innovation originally too

Pretty sure Bulldozer was the only era where AMD CPUs really couldn't compete

Well, the first gen of Ryzen wasnt great either but it gave hope that they desperately needed

[rancid juniper]

imagine how expensive the new apus would be

even the highest end one

i mean, look at the 8700g

[elfin mural]

Strix point is exclusive to laptops

At least at first

[rancid juniper]

[elfin mural]

ROG Strix laptops using Strix Point

[rancid juniper]

lol

now the strix name will finally make sense

aside from that hopefully there are laptop configurations that only has the apu and nothing more

[elfin mural]

All the 2024 zephs here are using oled

It's good but

[rancid juniper]

just fast ram + one beast apu

[elfin mural]

Glossy and 3k res on 4050

[rancid juniper]

3k?

🗿

[elfin mural]

yep

3k oled

[rancid juniper]

My boss hired me a couple months ago and just asked if I knew how to get network information from Command Prompt 😭 (he's talking about "ipconfig")

[gleaming rivet]

[craggy shoal]

No lol

[gleaming rivet]

Rip

[craggy shoal]

That was for when I was jobless though lol

[sinful blade]

What would you guys price the average 2070super build with just 16gb of ram

[elfin mural]

cpu?

Other parts make or break a deal

[gleaming rivet]

I feel like if you want an accurate price range.. you'd need to list brand/parts

[elfin mural]

Also reo

I got an Anker charger

[sinful blade]

Inte i7 10700f

[elfin mural]

Figured IQ would be pretty versatile

[sinful blade]

This is all that’s given lmao

[gleaming rivet]

What's the price they are asking?

[sinful blade]

$2000

[gleaming rivet]

Yikes

[sinful blade]

Gonna try to educate them

[gleaming rivet]

How you gonna try and educate someone if you don't know how to price out a build?

[sinful blade]

I don’t know 2070s price range nowadays

I’m still learning

[gleaming rivet]

Use your fingers to tap on those keys and find that info.

https://tenor.com/view/you-got-it-dude-full-house-michelle-thumbs-up-like-gif-13843999112788154509

eBay sold listings are a good place to start.

Make sure you factor in everything you possibly can though. Mobo/case/fans/PSU/CPU/GPU/ram/any extensions/extras

[sinful blade]

No

[gleaming rivet]

If no listings for a particular part, then find the brand new price and mark it down by up to 50% depending on condition.

Gimme your best bet on how much vram the next 90 card is gonna have

[mental yoke]

48

[gentle canyon]

prob 24

[mental yoke]

Maybe 32.

[gentle canyon]

its gonna be gddr7 right

not 6x

[mental yoke]

That just doesn’t sound right..

[gentle canyon]

?

or am i losing it

[mental yoke]

Ddr7?!?

Maybe, thats up to the people at NVIDIA

whatever they feel is right they’ll do

Imma go play Breath of The Wild now, cya.

[sinful blade]

My guess is gonna be either 28 or 32

Ddr7

[chrome mirage]

Not sure if I'm gonna go with Nvidia or AMD next. I guess I'll see whenever they release the new cards

[mental yoke]

I guess we won’t know until they release them.

[sinful blade]

I’m gonna probably go with the newer nvidia card when all the issues get fixed after launch.

i think the "fastest" one was the FX 4300 lmfao

Speaking of shrek.. Shrek Dragon was a princess lol xD just like fiona

She was cursed to be mythical creature at night

They should make a spin off movie base on that.

I wanna see why she got cursed xD

im pretty sure another movie is in the works

[tranquil pebble]

I jumped off Intel in 2020 lol

[rancid juniper]

lol we both picking different sides in the same year

had to get an intel oem pc because my FX pc died when it went to sleep

dunno how

☠️

[tranquil pebble]

FX was just plain cursed so who knows

[rancid juniper]

funny because FX processors tend to last wayyyy longer than their motherboards

these chips are odd af

[tranquil pebble]

Well, some FX CPUs were known to kill mobos, so...

Well, one in particular

FX 9590 I think

~220W TDP

[rancid juniper]

cursed for the time

[tranquil pebble]

Very very cursed

My Threadripper is ~280W but it has a socket designed for that kind of TDP... FX did not

[rancid juniper]

yep...

amd was smoking some special stuff when they made the fx lineup

[tranquil pebble]

Bulldozer in particular should have never existed. The original FX was a high-end Athlon

[craggy shoal]

Guys I collected a little friend while biking

[nocturne flicker]

Bulldozer existed because AMD was in panic mode

And then it nearly killed them

[rancid juniper]

then made piledriver

[tranquil pebble]

so they did a big gamble... and lost

[rancid juniper]
