We need bakelite back
Everything was better with bakelite
If we are going to kill everything with plastic might as well do it with style
velvet summit
real
the reason why bakelite was discontinued (i forget if there were health risks as well) but it isnt very easily mass produced
it requires a pressure chamber because the plastic foams up while curing or whatever

It was energy intensive and used formaldehyde in the process
velvet summit
oh yeah then yeah health risks as well
mmmm tasty formaldehyde
if you drink enough of it you will never decay

Yeah. Was used primarily to haul small loads of hay for goats on a farm. I did a thorough inspection and a good test drive. Nothing wrong with it. They kept up on the maintenance almost flawlessly.
The lady traded it in because it was her husband's and he died.
There's a small ding on the side, but it can be pushed out if I take out the wheel well guard and get up in there.

@mortal grail not sure if you saw, but I found that discord uses massively more power to encode video on GPU than CPU
Like, 10x as much

I have a question, maybe somebody can help. I need a Laptop that is good for AutoCAD . Now I found this model right here with a i5-1340P but don't if this is enough or not because Google doesn't tell me anything
HP Pavilion Plus Laptop it is. 16 GB RAM DDR 4

It's gpu accelerated so yes
mortal grail
Hey ho, hope you all feeling well 🙂
I have a question, maybe somebody can help...
Something with a dgpu is preferable
Gaming laptops are good matches as they usually come with a decent cpu and dgpu, and then you target a higher ram capacity
Basic laptops can do autocad but not more than very very basic things
fair onyx
It's gpu accelerated so yes
Yeah, but like... Why encode on GPU if it uses 10x the power than CPU?
It was the reason my room was getting so hot
mortal grail
I'm not sure what your budget is but I would try and aim for something used for some 500 or a good sale with a 4050/4060 and 32gb for 800 or so @neat snow
mortal grail
Yeah, but like... Why encode on GPU if it uses 10x the power than CPU?
Good question
Discord makes a lot of strange choices
However dgpu encode is generally much more capable
So it's probably a software programming choice
neat snow
I'm not sure what your budget is but I would try and aim for something used for ...
Budget would be at max 1000€. Not sure if I can catch a good deal with that.
mortal grail
You can for that much for sure
6 or 8 core ryzen 6k or 7k (preferable)
16gb ddr5/ddr4
4050/4060 (100W tdp or better)
That would land you a very serious mobile cad system
Used you'd aim for a good 3060m laptop, use review places like notebookcheck and jarrodstech
500 euro is achievable
But you want to get 32gb if possible, so bare that in mind as much as you can
Apps like creo and solidworks can chew up a lot of power
Autodesk etc
It depends on how complicated it gets but you really want a basic level system for cad imo
I've worked without, and it's just plain painful
Sit for 5 minutes at a time between small changes and crashing
7600S laptops are unironically fantastic for this specifically if you can find one
Rare though
Or if you have an ipad or existing laptop and you can connect to wifi/data, you could build a desktop that could do it at home and use parsec to stream to the laptop
Can be a bit choppy but also helps keep travelling light if you need that
Autocad can be tremendously slow if you run under spec for it. But it really depends on the level of autocad you're aiming for @neat snow
Like any decent small assembly would and could destroy a 4 core cpu
And if you want to run simulations you definitely want a gpu and ram
grand kernel
but userbenchmark said 4 cores is all we need
mortal grail
Yes cos intel said it years ago
And we know how much they would marry intel
About a 5 much
neat snow
Alright, sounds like a plan!
I found this right here. I mean yeah 16 GB but RTX 4060. It is at least better than the HP one.
MSI Thin GF63 12VF-298
grand kernel
intel now: haha yes you need 32 cores for gaming please purchase our products
oblique terrace
mortal grail
Alright, sounds like a plan!
I found this right here. I mean yeah 16 GB but RT...
GF63 is ok but it depends on the price. As far as performance it's on the lower end versus it's competitors
grand kernel
be careful with the msi thin gf63s they tend to have really poor cooling might not be great if you want to do heavier stuff than gaming
mortal grail
Yes it's a single fan, 3 heatpipe? Cooler
Low tdp on them
Not the worst thing to have when you're mobile, but you're definitely going to lag behind the competition
grand kernel
ram isn't a big deal as long as the laptop is upgradable, it's cheap and easy
elfin mural
Ram is ddr4 tho
mortal grail
16gb btw is expected at this level, you'll buy a 16gb one, then (hopefully) just buy one other 16gb stick
elfin mural
That's a bit problematic
grand kernel
ddr5 prob out of budget lol
grand kernel
ddr4 works fine anyways it's not gonna be the limiting factor when you're looking at a throttling 12450h
oh I saw 500 euros 💀
mortal grail
Nah 500 is just an example
Look in the right place you probably would find one used tho for near that
fair onyx
However dgpu encode is generally much more capable
For me, 3440x1440@60 on GPU uses about 270 watts of power
On CPU it uses about 30 watts and only about 10-15% of my CPU.
I know I'm never going back to GPU encoding lmao
mortal grail
For me, 3440x1440@60 on GPU uses about 270 watts of power
On CPU it uses about ...
There's so many factors behind what was just said
elfin mural
^
mortal grail
What was the bit rate and encoding format
How fast were they both doing it
Was the igpu doing it without delay?
The gpu not doing other tasks?
grand kernel
I remember when I was training convolutional neural networks for image recognition, my 4080 did it three times as fast as my 13700K using the same amount of power
mortal grail
Encoding itself shouldn't use much power but the gpu is also doing all the video work in that situation
Yeah a gpu is good for parallel processing
grand kernel
until the 4080 ran out of vram and slowed to a crawl
mortal grail
Not saying it's unfathomable, just theory out the box would suggest the opposite
mortal grail
4080 slowing down my work 😦

I love how we all come together and discuss this topic. And I really appreciate all your knowledge 🙂
But what I really really need is some examples. The market is full of tech that can't be easy overlooked. And you all have a opinion on that topic.
So how would it be if you possibly post one example with the budget of 1000€? I would really appreciate that! :))
I need AutoCAD for basic things. It's just for drawing architecture plans and stuff at the moment. But I don't know what is to come in the future.

bro, companies will still repeat the same mistake as others
hehehhe
but i hope im wrong here
light egret
if it's true, and its a streaming device, unless it has some kind of new tech that allows it to stay connected at all times without being super costly, it will fail. If it's a full blown handheld console, it will probably still fail. handhelds don't do well anymore
rancid juniper
eh... right now the handheld market is very popular
misty sparrow
PlayStation portal is apparently doing well
rancid juniper
i dont know what sony was smoking when making the portal
same with the people who bought it

There isn’t any point
light egret
i mean yes, but the like, aftermarket handheld emulator systems are popular.
light egret
im actually suprised about steam deck tbh.
but again, that's a great emulator device lol
it's just to big and bulky for me
rancid juniper
emulation aside i do think that most handhelds in the current market are capable of playing more demanding pc titles (Z1 Extreme/Ryzen 7000-8000 configs)
however
the cost
just too pricey
thats why steamdeck is the perfect middleground so far
unreal trail
proud jackal
light egret
I think the bigger problem with first party handhelds is that they will spend a lot on developing them and then don't support them like they should. Like the Vita, it did well at launch but they never really supported it well so it died really quick.
I bet microsoft will do the same
rancid juniper
cant believe sony fumbled that one when the PSP was done so well
im glad they are considering plans to make another handheld at some point
light egret
The vita had an great launch.
are they? I thought that was the rumors before portal came out
rancid juniper
are they? I thought that was the rumors before portal came out
i believe so, lemme pull up my sources
just take it with a grain of salt
light egret
If it comes out, that would be cool. But Idk how much I'd trust em after what they've done in the past.
rancid juniper
very little tbh
just like the ROG ally losing trust
its expensive and the company behind it is terrible atm
light egret
I thought that was one of the ones that was doing pretty well
rancid juniper
it was until you realize the bad RMA stuff going on and hardware just breaking apart (SD card slot for example)
lol
light egret
I mean I personally never would've boughten one anyways lol. If I was going to get a big handheld device, I'd go with steamdeck cause as of right now, I trust em. But if I was going to buy a handheld, I'd prob get an anbernic or something cause I mostly play classic games as apposed to newer triple A titles. If I do play newer games, I wanna play em on a bigger screen lol
rancid juniper
lol true
velvet summit
some of the reason why handhelds failed was due to bad performance
but with improvements in silicon and battery techs, handhelds are starting to be powerful enough to be used
light egret

Bruh samsung is actively telling repair shops to destroy their phones that are modded
mortal grail
It's completely litigious
THEY CAN'T
THAT'S THE POINT
Guarantee a lawsuit starts out of that
You pay someone, anywhere, to contractually complete the repair of a phone, you turn up the next day, they destroyed it and charge you for a new one
You can win a small case claim over that
Unless you explicitly sign a document that gives them the power to destroy the phone and fail the repair, it's litigious
