they have bac

[safe cape]

Nice

[wary fjord]

something big will happen they say

[safe cape]

gta 6 gameplay trailer

[deep parcel]

not gonna stop cheaters for very long

[rancid juniper]

temporary cheater fix

i barely play GTA online

[lone mango]

Kiddion will be back

[deep parcel]

battleye is so bad, like R6 cheaters get right through that loop

GTAO is dead anyways, I dont see why they are adding battleye so late

[wary fjord]

on the good side they leave a command to disable it.. because no way ragemp and fiver

will exist

with that on

[rancid juniper]

i dont think i have FiveM installed

[wary fjord]

those two have their own anti cheat xD they cant read in game memory if the main exe also has driver kernel anti cheat

ragemp has eac

this is like installing 2 anti virus xD

ahaha

[wary fjord]

five m drift car go brr

[lone mango]

There are over 50k playing rn

AA lobbies are packed

[deep parcel]

majority is going towards fivem

[dusk knot]

The screen quality must be ok

[random osprey]

to test how effective it is against cheaters since theyre the only ones online

[lone mango]

[wary fjord]

nope

[lone mango]

When I used to play it was so prevalent

[wary fjord]

its just fine xD

[lone mango]

Just driving around and the time of day changing

Take a right turn and it starts snowing

[wary fjord]

i dont understand how they implement anti cheat like that on a p2p base server

where they sending the heartbeat?

host pc?

maybe they have dedicated server now proxying players ip xD

on the good side we will no longer see a spam text on gta v online

[deep parcel]

nah, they wouldnt put that much effort

its still p2p

[lone mango]

Man I forgot about that

[dusk knot]

Trash?

[tranquil pebble]

what was that just now?

[lone mango]

I was typing what they type in the chat but the bot got rid of the fake server link

[rancid juniper]

real

[tranquil pebble]

trash vs trash moment

Imagine a CPU with one cluster of ARM cores, and one cluster of x86 cores

[opaque sedge]

Frankensteins cpu

[lone mango]

That shows how bad the 6500xt is

[rancid juniper]

dumpster tier

[opaque sedge]

Arm is the fancy new laptop chips right and x86 is what we usually see in our regular old desktop cpus?

[opaque sedge]

“I’m gonna upgrade in a year anyway” tier

[rancid juniper]

[opaque sedge]

(They’re never gonna upgrade cuz gpus will get expensive as crap)

[rancid juniper]

id rather save my money and cope with intergrated graphics

till i get a much better gpu

[opaque sedge]

(So they’re stuck with it like the thousands of 3050 users from the chip shortage era)

[tranquil pebble]

6500 XT is slower than my old R9 lol

[wary fjord]

u have 7800xt right

[rancid juniper]

yea

[tranquil pebble]

lol, performance segment... not even good at 1080p...

[rancid juniper]

GTX 650 2GB > Firepro W5000 2GB > Firepro S7000 (furnace) > GTX 1060 6GB > RX 6700XT > RX 7800XT

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

What does that even mean

[tranquil pebble]

ask techpowerup

6500 XT was NOT performance oriented at all though

[deep parcel]

means it partially performance

lol

what it kinda means anyways

[safe cape]

do you use mods in sp gta 5 ?

or just fivem

[nocturne flicker]

720p gaming is making a comeback bro trust me - Somebody from AMD probably

[tranquil pebble]

for handhelds sure

[nocturne flicker]

Just need to put an m.2 to pcie adaptor in handheld gaming pc and bam

High quality gaming

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

[lone mango]

Correct

[nocturne flicker]

But it still makes hot chocolate tho right?!

[wary fjord]

nope no mods on sp

i only like custom cars on any jdm / drift servers

[opaque sedge]

This game is beyond cool

48 bucks well spent

Also spent 50 bucks for a controller

Wallet-san your death will not be forgotten

[proud jackal]

Which controller

[wary fjord]

lets gooo

u see how beautiful that pcb is?

xD

[opaque sedge]

It is

[wary fjord]

1st thing u have to do install the software

on the pc

[rugged quest]

@severe pivot ban him i made this alt bc i dont have it anymore

[wary fjord]

then update the firmware

[rugged quest]

if u need proof i can show

[wary fjord]

then enable 1000hz

then do some profiles

[rugged quest]

bro scamming on my acc

sad i gotta type for my ranks tho

itll buff out

how is everyone?

[rugged quest]

W controller

[wary fjord]

this ting the cusion they put it in is really incasing the switch itself .. its so good u dont have to solder it back xD

they dint show the cusion they use but its like molded X that fit the switches bellow

basically easy hot swappable xD

and that blue line its underneat a two pin plastic pin u need to insert on the mobo

[wary fjord]

kinda like this but silicon on top of mechanical switches.. and above that is your ABXY buttons. .. the blue one is another thing that u have to stick on the mobo. thats the "cusion" part material they advertising.

[craggy shoal]

What's even the point in gaming anymore?

I bought this computer. Don't feel like playing anything

I'm just scrolling through YouTube and can't find anything interesting to watch

"Okay let's just go to Discord because we're THAT bored" chat is dead and dry too

what's the point anymore 💀

[deep parcel]

too true

[fervent stump]

My phone is dead according to this 😭

[craggy shoal]

I watched like three of this guy's videos and now YouTube things I'm a huge fan or something

[deep parcel]

or you end up launching a game and sitting there not playing the game

[craggy shoal]

real asf

[deep parcel]

like I launched wt 2 hours ago but havent played a match

lol

[craggy shoal]

"Oh here comes my 2-week Minecraft phase" I don't even feel it anymore

[misty sparrow]

You’re at that stage where you’re oversaturated with games because you play often, maybe if you take a break and find something else to do then come back you’ll be reinvigorated

[craggy shoal]

I don't play games often

"maybe if you take a break and find something else to do" okay xoomer

[misty sparrow]

i thought it would work

[craggy shoal]

nothing works

I would know

I self host. I would know that nothing works

ever

lol

[deep parcel]

I stopped gaming for awhile and watched the entirety of Lost then barely wanted to play much when I came back to my pc anyways

so yeah...

[craggy shoal]

maybe you're right

still a xoomer thing to say

e

[misty sparrow]

What's a xoomer?

[craggy shoal]

boomer, xoomer, moomer, and zoomer

boomer, gen x, millennial, and gen z

[misty sparrow]

oh

words that describe each generation

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[misty sparrow]

alright fair enough

[misty sparrow]

I will be surprised if anyone from the Greatest generation is still alive

[craggy shoal]

[sinful blade]

Bot probably

[misty sparrow]

hear me out

LG B4 48", $749 brand new

pass?

been looking into tvs lately

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[misty sparrow]

$610 for an open box version too

[dusk knot]

Not the brightest in HDR...but solid all around. I would get it. And it also suffers a bit from a greenish tint at an angle

[misty sparrow]

yeah

i know it's not as good as a C series or any of the other stuff but

oled for cheap like that is good

[dusk knot]

It's a great deal

[misty sparrow]

there's a bunch of sales on oleds i saw at a local Best Buy. cool stuff, like an A80L for $670 also open box

[dusk knot]

Go LG

[dusk knot]

The other television is slightly brighter

And gaming in HDR is not as good

[misty sparrow]

still get it, even though the A80L is 55" while the B4 is 48"?

[dusk knot]

Oh

[misty sparrow]

hmmmm

[dusk knot]

If you care more about screen quality....the B4 wins

Give me a sec...

yep...the B4 in all aspects that matter

[misty sparrow]

nice

its nice how B4 is a more recent model too

because i've been eyeing the C2 for some time now

and it appears B4 is better

for cheaper

i am gonna get the openbox version though

save me some, what, $120?

[dusk knot]

huh

IDK

eh....you can always return if theres an issue

[misty sparrow]

yeah

it will cover a 2year warranty that i could apply though

its i think $89?

[dusk knot]

worth it

[craggy shoal]

I need one

Y'all will be catching me with one upon release

I'll be an early adopter of Cyberpunk type technology

gonna have seizures and stuff but whatever

[dusk knot]

[craggy shoal]

lol

So technically?

[dusk knot]

now not so much

[chrome mirage]

[craggy shoal]

True but you'd be surprised by how much of a "skill" it actually is for some people

[chrome mirage]

[gilded kraken]

good game

seek valks, become punished

[rancid juniper]

real

[misty sparrow]

i have it on ps5

its still really fun but i need to go back and play it

[dusk knot]

I would only consider getting one if its far better than normal vision

thats going to take decades

[rancid juniper]

lol on ps4 i couldn't stand the low framerates

[dusk knot]

normal

[rancid juniper]

man the pc experience warped my view drastically

like it was 30fps but you can feel the lag

somehow

its not even smooth 30 bruh

[craggy shoal]

Yeah then they try some motion blur magic to make it feel smoother

sure thing lol

[dusk knot]

frametime

and input lag

[rancid juniper]

pretty much

[rancid juniper]

yea i know that game was spiking like crazy

[dusk knot]

no you dont

[rancid juniper]

ok

[dusk knot]

joke

[misty sparrow]

good thing PS5 has a 60fps patch

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

😏

[misty sparrow]

even though i talk badly about the ps5 i still like it a lot

[rancid juniper]

me who cant tell jokes through text

[dusk knot]

happens to me often

[rancid juniper]

lol

[rancid juniper]

ps5 is good when it has games/well made

it has no games

[misty sparrow]

luckily for me

i play ps4 games on it

and some ps5

[rancid juniper]

cant lie the ps4 is the modern equivalent of ps2

[misty sparrow]

seriously those used disc games are really good value

[rancid juniper]

it has alot of titles under it

[misty sparrow]

they really came out swinging with the ps4 in terms of games

ps5 should have done the same

even if it was just a side project game or something lesser than a grand experience im sure it would have made up for it

[rancid juniper]

im surprised most studios didnt make smaller games (spinoffs) to fill in the gaps

[misty sparrow]

exactly

they should have filled out the gaps with spinoffs

like what nintendo is doing

[rancid juniper]

like these AAA games are taking a stupid amount of time to make why not make smaller games

i will never understand

[rancid juniper]

basically this

[dusk knot]

small games boring

[misty sparrow]

microsoft especially can take notes

[rancid juniper]

nuh uh

[misty sparrow]

instead of waiting years for a new Halo game they should have made spinoffs

something like Halo 3 ODST

[rancid juniper]

yep

for a smaller game ill probably allow a maximum of 2 years of development

lel

really depends on the team tho

[gilded kraken]

I think I have finally figured out what case Im gonna use with my next Build. the O11 Dynamic XL, do a 420 mm rad on top and get a 5080 with AIO for the side mount

[rancid juniper]

dayum

[gilded kraken]

should be pretty hastle free at that point with good cooling

all AIO so I dont have to fiddle with full liquid cooling loops

hopefully MSI knocks it out of the park with their AIO cooled flagship line again

[misty sparrow]

certainly not 343 though they can't handle anything that's ready at launch

i'm surprised it took a decade for them to be under new management

[rancid juniper]

bruh

the downfall of 343 needs to be studied tbh

well they were already going downhill when they took the halo IP

[misty sparrow]

they screwed up every halo release they made

at launch

honestly i think Halo 4 was one of the least bad launches they did

[sinful blade]

No>:(

Titanfall 3 when

[rancid juniper]

EA:

[misty sparrow]

"nah we'll drop a teaser trailer and then say nothing about it for 4 years"

[chrome mirage]

When you make it yourself probably

[dusk knot]

👀

[misty sparrow]

they did it with mass effect

still nothing on that game

[chrome mirage]

I've been waiting for beyond good and evil 2 since the first teaser

[misty sparrow]

and that was over ten years ago wasn't it?

[chrome mirage]

I think 2008

My friend got the first game in a cheese string box

[misty sparrow]

i hear it's a cult classic

and recently got a remaster for its 20th anniversary

[nocturne flicker]

Coming soon. Maybe after Bethesda makes their next main series Fallout game

Gonna come out when all the OG fans are too old to play the new ones

So there'll be no one to review bomb it for being as bad as it'll likely be

Seriously though, most of the team was pushed over to the Dragon Age game, so it has been on skeleton crew for a while now. They might go back over to making the ME game in November after the DA game releases on Halloween

[sinful blade]

Time to be American

I got this from a family friend

[velvet summit]

Artificial flavour of that sounds vile

[gilded kraken]

its not terrible actually

its like smelling chili cheese fries on the table next to you at a restraunt

before you get what you ordered

in typical pringles flavoring fashion

[velvet summit]

Hmm

TBF I don't really like Pringles flavoring in the first place

So this just makes it sound worse lmao

[gilded kraken]

this was more a dig at pringles vague flavoring XD but yea. as far as pringles go its allright

you eat like 10 chips and get tired of them

[velvet summit]

I don't hate them enough to not eat them, but I don't enjoy them enough to buy

[gilded kraken]

I would rather have some kettle chips

even mediocre kettle chips are better than pringles

[velvet summit]

Though at least with Pringles, like 90% of that tube is actually Pringles and not air

[gilded kraken]

pringles are good if you dont wanna get your fingers dirty

[velvet summit]

I eat chips with chopsticks

Sometimes a fork

[gilded kraken]

well you are ahead of the curve then

[velvet summit]

I just really hate oily keycaps

[gilded kraken]

same. I eat pizza with a fork and knife at my comp

I refuse to make my keycaps nasty

[velvet summit]

Ok pizza with knife and fork is wild

For that, I usually go into one hand mode lmao

[gilded kraken]

It used to bother me on the idea of it but honestly. It works

now if Im away from my pc, i'll go hands on

[velvet summit]

It's just too much effort for me to use a knife to cut the pizza

Sometimes with pizza, I could do the top secret technique of using gravity and angling the plate to slide the pizza into my mouth to bite lmao

[gilded kraken]

a good serrated steak knife does it

[velvet summit]

So neither hand gets dirty

[gilded kraken]

now if its like a legit italian style pizza you dont gotta worry because the crust doesnt get nasty

[velvet summit]

Lmao

I do actually somewhat prefer the crust on the bottom to be a bit like

Fried with oil so it's crispy

[gilded kraken]

like a pan pizza?

[velvet summit]

Yeah

[gilded kraken]

yeh those are pretty good

[mighty hazel]

I’ve only done that if it’s a high end restaurant 💀

Pizza with fork and knife is too fancy

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[dusk knot]

But it smells awful

Oh

1% multi core

I'm sure that'll matter more in single core and gaming loads

[gilded kraken]

dang thats alot

[wary fjord]

amd ages like a fine wine xD yet again haha

[gilded kraken]

gotta see how intel responds next month

[wary fjord]

Inter-CCX latencies for a Ryzen 9 9950X appear to be reduced from around 180ns to around 75ns.

[mortal grail]

Supposedly doesn't do much of anything according to initial reports

Which if I'm not mistaken I was saying this a while ago

The bigger problem is the reorder buffer overflow

[wary fjord]

speak english felix xD

https://tenor.com/view/confused-confusion-cat-white-cat-im-confusion-gif-16828447

"buffer overflow" sounds bad as a c++ programmer

xD

that could lead buffer payload attacks hahaha

[mortal grail]

Cpu gets given instruction

Instruction gets sent to cache

That instruction is sent to a specific cache

L1 cache has a reorder buffer problem

On ryzen 9000

It's very quickly filled up unlike previous generations

[wary fjord]

that bad that will cause delay

since no spot left for that instruction to be cache

[mortal grail]

I'd have to relearn what the buffer is exactly but think of it like, say a printer, and a list of documents

[wary fjord]

but its needed now

[mortal grail]

Ya

[mortal grail]

The buffer is like a printer with 300 documents and can't print fast enough

Previous gens didn't have this bottleneck, this gen it does

And it adds a latency penalty as a result

A more direct penalty

Unlike interccd

So this affects the way the cpu will work (L1), rather than the cpu talking to other cpus (interccd)

[wary fjord]

dont 9000 has tons of cache xD

how it runs out

[mortal grail]

Chips and cheese has the specifics in their review, highly detailed, very complicated

[mortal grail]

It has but the way they programmed it seems to have resulted in everything slamming the L1

Everything else genuinely improved or remained basically the same

Iirc

[wary fjord]

intel fixes that

[mortal grail]

Either way just fixing the interccd will not be a real fix I don't think

Since 9700x doesn't have this, nor 9600x

Those have no issue with that since launch

[wary fjord]

welp i guess lets wait for 10000 series

[mortal grail]

Next gen will have a new memory controller so yes

It'll absolutely be faster

To what degree, dunno

But next gen is slated for an imc change

[wary fjord]

god when 10k series release my 3k series is so far away xD

even tho i just bought it at 2020 xD

[mortal grail]

So many numbers in so little years

Gonna be hearing Mariah Carey very soon

[wary fjord]

yes 🙂

[elfin mural]

mariah carey's gonna be back to haunt retail workers once more

[paper verge]

Yo wssg guys

Here again for another laptop

Asus tuf or hp victous?

F15 and I have no clue what victous model it is lol ( both 4070 and victous is like 300 cad more )

[young matrix]

Victus if you care about customer support/warranty

[paper verge]

Id prefer a laptop that could keep me away from customer support/warranty

[elfin mural]

then a tuf

victus is fine but

i don't feel secure about the hinge wobble

[paper verge]

Aaight bet

Also for a ssd you guys think I should just get internal PC ssd and have it connected to a external enclosure or just external sandisk ssd?

[elfin mural]

either way you're limited by usb speeds

but externals are usually more expensive afaik

[paper verge]

Which sections USB speed?

The tuf has thunderbolt so we OK there ig

[elfin mural]

USB standard

I think externals tend to use usb 3.0 or something like that

3.1 gen 1, 3.2 gen 1 are 3.0 under a different name

[paper verge]

So the enclosure uses usbc

[elfin mural]

which gen is it?

[paper verge]

Bruh this gen bs

[elfin mural]

ya lol

[paper verge]

Gen2

Sorry it took a billion years for amazon to load up for some reason

[elfin mural]

that's not very fast

wait it actually is enough

[paper verge]

What's fast then

[elfin mural]

usb 3.2 gen 2 (aka 3.1) has 10gbps speed

which translates to about 1200 megabyes per sec

[paper verge]

What

[elfin mural]

that's plenty for an average ssd

[paper verge]

3.1=3.2 gen 2

Makes sense

[paper verge]

Its a p3 plus

[elfin mural]

that'll do just fine

will limit the ssd's true potential but

1000 mbps or so in reality is perfectly fine

[tranquil pebble]

I use an NVMe with that as a flash drive lol

[paper verge]

Your flash drive is 1200 Mbps?

[tranquil pebble]

indeed it is a VERY fast flash drive

it is literally an NVMe in an enclosure

10/10 would recommend over normal flash drives

[wary fjord]

ngl that song even if she doesnt sing

is enough to live comfortably xD

free money

haha every holiday

[elfin mural]

yep

free youtube views

free spotify plays

[wary fjord]

xD my humor is broken

[mint comet]

This pc will not take my windows install boot usb? says there is something wrong with it? I redid it twice though. Is there a better location I should get it from or am I picking an outdated version?

[wary fjord]

u need to elaborate

it wont just say something wrong with it.

maybe u installing uefi version on a legacy version

or vice versa

[craggy shoal]

Sounds like a skill issue to me

[tranquil pebble]

I want to see this spider ngl

the venom isnt even dangerous

[mint comet]

I got it. The media became corrupt some how.

@wary fjord thank you though

[craggy shoal]

Bruh of course I get to work thinking it'll be a chill day but no one of our network technicians suddenly makes a visit to my campus and takes the seat I usually sit in, not knowing that it's the seat that I dock my laptop to

Now I have to work using this crappy work all-in-one

[mortal grail]

I even sat in your seat and you didn't say hi wtf

Bro took to tech server slander instead smh

[craggy shoal]

At my other job

goober

The school job (the crappy job)

[mortal grail]

Oh

Then who tf is this other guy tapping on his phone...?

[craggy shoal]

Probably your coworker

Bro I don't like insulting people but you're Australian

Yooooo

[mortal grail]

Theo subscribe

343 it fits perfectly

It perfect

[mortal grail]

Oh noes

It was already artificially kept in low supply to avoid a price below 1600 anyway

[sweet phoenix]

just found out my college might have screwed me over

and took my financial aid away without telling me and i now might be 20k in debt

without any warning or anything

love it here

[unreal trail]

dang

[mortal grail]

Wth

[sweet phoenix]

like im freaking out and idek what to do

i have work in an hour so I can't go to campus, and theres no phone # to call

[mortal grail]

Probably not the best thing to read rn

But panicking is not gonna help, I would go to work as normal, when you get your next chance, try to contact your campus again

[sweet phoenix]

i just genuinely don't understand

im taking two classes, I took two classes last fall

a total of four classes at a community college, how the hell do I owe 20000

[mortal grail]

Yeah you need to talk to someone

[sweet phoenix]

let alone the fact that in my state it's supposed to be free

[mortal grail]

But I wouldn't freak out, if no one's answering, then you can only just try again later

If you know this isn't correct, and you're aware of your conditions of your enrolment, then I would just try to get in touch with them as soon as you can

[north crescent]

I'd imagine you have a cost break down reciept somewhere online through your school account

[sweet phoenix]

yeah same page

it says I have $9k in living expenses

[mortal grail]

???

[sweet phoenix]

there aren't even dorms on the campus

[mortal grail]

Wtf

LOL

Ok no

That's not your bill

Ain't no way

Someone may have put the wrong account in

If you can't even live on campus then there's no way that's yours

[north crescent]

Either you can now legally squat at the college or you get a refund

[mortal grail]

Don't freak out lad, I would go to work, don't stress, call them when you can

[mortal grail]

Or a cleared bill

[sweet phoenix]

there's a full page with a financing plan for me ig? it has my name and all my info, says price to be paid my me is 19.9k. I know obsessing over it won't do anything, only thing I can do is go to work and deal with it later

[mortal grail]

Yep

That's not your bill

You can litigiously prove that

[sweet phoenix]

just the number 20k at 19yo when im already having financial issues is not... exciting to see

[mortal grail]

There are no dorms on campus

[mortal grail]

There's no way you can have living expenses

[sweet phoenix]

I've never used any books or school supplies for any classes and never used any school provided transportation

[mortal grail]

Yep

Again, that's not your bill

[sweet phoenix]

yeah'

[mortal grail]

It's been sent to your account in error

Happens all the time

You need to talk to campus when you can

[north crescent]

Transportation usually refers to a "free" bus pass and such

[mortal grail]

But go to work, I wouldn't worry about it now

Maybe ask your boss for a few hours off tomorrow or something if you need it

[sweet phoenix]

ive got class tn at 7 but I think the financial aid office closes at 5

[mortal grail]

Contact only when you can

Can't expect you to immediately to answer to a sudden 20K bill

[north crescent]

With typical call center stuff, prolly need to plan for a 1hr wait time on call

[mortal grail]

Yeah

And then you need to talk with them

[sweet phoenix]

there's no place to call which is absolutely mind blowing

it's in person only

[mortal grail]

And prove you're not the one on that bill

Well even still

You can't expect an immediate response

Or rather

They can't

I would get stuff together to prove you're not someone who's living in their basement(??) for 7 grand of the year

Take time to get things together, I am fairly sure this will be erroneous if you haven't even lived on campus

[north crescent]

To an extend. iirc my uni bill deadline was not that far away from the time it was issued. But they also barely cared about their given deadline, had like two months past their deadline before they gave me a late fee.

[mortal grail]

but even if he's overdue, if it's not his bill then he can't be expected to pay first

[north crescent]

Easily got a few weeks tho (assuming it was just issued)

[mortal grail]

Ya

It's a mountain alright, but not your mountain

Can't be expected to pay when you can see it's not your bill obviously

Take it to small claims out of challenge since it's very easy to prove you can't even live on campus lmao

Huge number of ways you can prove that, especially if you drive to campus and have a proper memory (write it down) or record of your attendance

I wouldn't worry about it, I would just get things together and contact them as soon as you can

[sweet phoenix]

Got it dealt with

I do need to take care of smthn but you were both right (ofc) that it wasn't mine

[mortal grail]

Thought so

[sweet phoenix]

Logically I knew it wasn't but that pricetag being attached to my name was still scary

[mortal grail]

Probably another dave of the same name or something

Oh ofc

But it looked pretty obvious to prove

Anyway

Crisis averted

In other news I cut my streaming bills almost in half today

Swapped to something much better, bit jank for now cos streaming off a laptop to a tv but for now it works

Might swap to a chromecast later

[north crescent]

Imagine having streaming bills smh my head. That's what I pay my ISP for, to use the interwebs. ||/s||

[mortal grail]

I need a smarterer tv tbh

But it's fine for now

[north crescent]

Also you need to fix the banner

Cuz now you're just tralian

[mortal grail]

Oh it looked fine on mine LOL

[north crescent]

Only if you view full profile

[mortal grail]

What about now

[north crescent]

The "simplified" view (like viewing in a server) is bad

[craggy shoal]

yeah much better

[north crescent]

Hm, top buttons are pain as well tho

[mortal grail]

Hell yeah

Ya that's better

Now it's got sass and internet grammar

[craggy shoal]

you Australian

[north crescent]

Also missed opportunity for upsidedown like real australian

[mortal grail]

You is australian

I could fix that

What about now

[north crescent]

But you A al

[mortal grail]

Yoooo

What about now

Maybe I need more internet sass

[north crescent]

Hm, exact same? Is Discord getting mad at too many changes?

Or maybe whatever change you did just didnt want to show up idk

[mortal grail]

How about this

I got the sass and also the microsoft powerpoint slant

[north crescent]

but you're Allstra

[mortal grail]

I am austra

Lmao

Now?

[north crescent]

How bad does mirroring the unflipped version look?

[dusk knot]

Lol

[mortal grail]

I think it's fine but aussie jokes are funny

I could sass it even more

[north crescent]

Ye, mirror on Y axis for "flipping" it

[mortal grail]

Oh, idk if my phone has this power

Turns out it does

What about now

[north crescent]

[rancid juniper]

Sony singlehandedly helping the pc market thrive

love to see it!

[tranquil pebble]

and in Japan no less

for me this is good because it means better JRPG ports

[tranquil pebble]

normal PS5 is also increased to about $550 USB equivalent in Japan

this is at least the second price increase

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[tranquil pebble]

Sony is about to lose a lot of marketshare in Japan, likely to Nintendo.

Hey, i am trying to buy a new monitor and i see the highest refresh rate is 540hz what monitor is better in 540hz?

[tranquil pebble]

but its just low framerate gif lol

[tranquil pebble]

refresh rate is nice but it isnt everything...

[rigid sinew]

good

[lofty galleon]

what moniter is the best on esports and its nice on resolution?

[velvet summit]

540hz vs 240hz isnt a huge difference

diminishing returns

[warped crest]

ok, its mobo whine, bc whenever i scroll and the cpu goes up the mobo isnt happy...

and the gpu has no issues

[tranquil pebble]

even 240 vs 120 isnt all that much

but like even 60 to 75 is big

you now if that monitor is good?

[velvet summit]

4k isnt as good for esports because you aint running 4k @ 480fps lmfao

[dusk knot]

But

[velvet summit]

actually, it only supports 4k240hz tbf

have to lower the res for 480hz

it's just the typical oled panel though

not qd-oled

[tranquil pebble]

just gonna say that curved monitors that are not ultrawide are cursed and should not exist

[velvet summit]

the alienware is better value

[warped crest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP73edpQwgc i looked up loud coil whine and damn, found this relic. hd7970

[tranquil pebble]

imagine if monitor pixel density gets insane enough for them to start emulating CRTs as a mode

[warped crest]

OOOOOO

id pay for that

[sinful blade]

Can we ban some people then

Specifically @sinful blade
He constantly posts terrible deals

And can we give Bacca and Felix mod

[rigid sinew]

lol chill

we can ban @sinful blade if they are okay with it

but also, maybe on the mods cause i know a lot of our mods are pretty busy

[dusk knot]

[craggy shoal]

Ban him

He's been asking for free tech parts. Ban him

lol

[dusk knot]

He plays destiny. Ban

I’m going to play some rn

[tranquil pebble]

once my 128 GB of RAM arrives I will no longer need the four 8 GB sticks I have now. I know someone that needs more DDR4 RAM though

[craggy shoal]

I kinda do actually

I know a few of the older mods don’t actually speak here anymore
It’s mostly just jp and fatal

it would be appropriate to call the og xbox cpu this as it was in between the Celeron and Pentium of the era

[warped crest]

How can I cope with Uber loud coil whine, it drives me nuts but I’m not spending money for a bit

[proud jackal]

[gilded kraken]

put your pc further away from you

[warped crest]

Dang

Not really possible

[gilded kraken]

mines like 3 feet from me along the floor so the coil whine would have to go up through the top vent and through the thick boi tempered glass to hear it

[warped crest]

Mine is right next to me with the rear facing sideways towards me

[gilded kraken]

and thats why you hear the coil whine. theres nothing to obscure the noise from going straight to you

[velvet summit]

Under the desk

[warped crest]

Its also just really loud

[sinful blade]

and you

[wary fjord]

By vibing on it

[tranquil pebble]

I kind of want to make coil whine on purpose

maybe find a way to play Bad Apple with it

[idle nexus]

So there was this storm & now I have no electricity until 9pm.

Worst coil whine I remember was 1080ti on FireStrike Extreme

SuperPosition 8k gets bad

[idle nexus]

Ehh maybe increase all fans to 100% or uh, headphones?

[tranquil pebble]

probably could do it by simply making a wire coil and pumping electricity into it

[idle nexus]

Lower gpu clock in Afterburner? Isn't coil whine like a resonance... So would increasing gpu clock get past it like breaking the sound barrier? Lol

[ancient swift]

Just run benchmarks and compete with the scores.

[tranquil pebble]

Coil whine is an electromagnetic effect AFAIK

[idle nexus]

Go hwbot.org & make an account

Then download benchmate & get to it

[idle nexus]

Heck so you can't get past it? It's not like a bell curve thing?

[ancient swift]

Imagine playing games on something besides a handheld

[tranquil pebble]

more current flow just makes it louder

you can dampen it if you know what coils are making the noise

[idle nexus]

Could it theoretically be infinitely louder but for the materials causing it breaking down at some point?

[tranquil pebble]

no, youd fry everything before it became super loud

[idle nexus]

Lol ya materials breaking down

[tranquil pebble]

unless you were to design a coil to be as loud as possible...

which is what I want to do, to play Bad Apple with

Speakers use the same physics, but controlled cleverly to make audio

electromagnet pretty much

[tranquil pebble]

or you could say... committing Raptor Lake

[idle nexus]

Lol raptor lake

[tranquil pebble]

yeah that was a brain derp moment

but you get what I mean

[idle nexus]

Speakers are just a coil & a magnet or something no? Imagine coming up with that

It happens

I'm now beginning hour 2 of no electricity. It's getting hot.
