[rancid juniper]

They can do power efficiency but they threw it out the window

A good example is RX 6600

[opaque sedge]

Its so strange like commit to it for all products yk?

[tranquil pebble]

Nvidia GeForce are even more power hungry AFAIK

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

4000 series eat power like popcorn

[opaque sedge]

The 4080super is pretty efficient compared to the 7900xtx apparently

[tranquil pebble]

XTX is also well beyond peak efficiency for RDNA 3

[opaque sedge]

350watts 💀

That thang must be hot

[rancid juniper]

Bro the XTX can eat more than 400 watts

[craggy shoal]

The 4090 is like 450W

[opaque sedge]

Watts reminds me there is absolutely no coil whine in my 4070 super

It feels weird to mot heard that humming whine

[rancid juniper]

Tru

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait put my ear against my case’s front vent can hear it a bit

[craggy shoal]

Come to think of it I forgot what coil whine sounded like since switching to my 4070 Super

[rancid juniper]

TF is a coil whine?

[tranquil pebble]

probably not the greatest method of measuring though

since max TDP doesnt equal power use

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I don't get how my parents will watch a lot of HDR-enabled movies without HDR enabled on the TV. They’ll always be at a scene with a lot of sunlight and the lighting makes no sense. Does anybody else deal with parents like these? 💀

"Yeah HDR video it'll look good" (doesn't know what HDR is or how to actually make it look good)

[opaque sedge]

Bros im playing gow ragnarok and in a quest kratos just called mimir ||brother|| like seriously he was being nice Kratos was BEING NICE

[tranquil pebble]

I know what HDR is, but definitely not how to make it look good

[opaque sedge]

Apparently only looks decent in miniled and oled panels

[craggy shoal]

Bruh there's a scene that has direct sunlight and I’m looking straight at the screen and it's not bright at all 💀😭

[craggy shoal]

You turn it on

[tranquil pebble]

well obviously

[craggy shoal]

They don't recognize "oh this video looks a little dark maybe I should tune the TV's settings"

[tranquil pebble]

Some devices there is no need to change anything, like phones

it just does hdr by default

[opaque sedge]

i cant believe this dx11

[rancid juniper]

This is DX11

[opaque sedge]

well its a port i think its a different api for playstaion

[rancid juniper]

PS4 iirc is probably limited up to DX11 type titles

[opaque sedge]

pls forgive me grammar office i swear it wont happen again

[rancid juniper]

I wasn't trying to correct you

Sorry

[opaque sedge]

huh really doesnt ghost of tsushima run well in ps4? its dx12

[tranquil pebble]

some crazy hw hacker could probably get DX9 looking like this

[rancid juniper]

I mean on PS4 and pro there is no rt games right?

And RT needs DX12

[opaque sedge]

wut there's dx9?

[tranquil pebble]

it would run like trash though

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[opaque sedge]

ghost of tsushima doesnt support rt

[rancid juniper]

That's the point

[opaque sedge]

isnt dx11 more than a decade old?

[rancid juniper]

It's run on a older api for ps4

Yes

[opaque sedge]

so games have been using dx apis for half a century?

[rancid juniper]

It's not only dx

You have opengl, vulkan, mantle, and more

I think mantle became vulkan

[tranquil pebble]

When we refer to DirectX versions, it is usually Direct3D specifically being referred to.

[opaque sedge]

man its crap like this that sometimes makes you wish you were immortal and rich, rich being the important part

[tranquil pebble]

and there have in fact been 12 major versions of DX

[opaque sedge]

numbers check out

iykwim

😎

[tranquil pebble]

things moved absurdly fast in the 90s

[rancid juniper]

Wow very short gap between 10 and 11

And then it's taken awhile till 12 came out

But it's been nearly a decade so where's DX13?

I realize something, tf happened to DX4?

[azure hedge]

Is it acceptable to ask questions about Newegg products in general chat? I'm looking at mini-PCs on the Newegg website, and have some questions.

[rancid juniper]

Yea you can

[tranquil pebble]

never released

[rancid juniper]

L

[ancient swift]

DirectX is PC and Xbox cause its the (Direct)X-Box.

Nintendo and Sony have their own API's NXAPI for the Switch and GNM and GNMX for the PS4

[rancid juniper]

PS4 based on x86

😏

[azure hedge]

My girlfriend is looking for a mini-PC with a price around $700 that is capable of running games like OW2 at a reasonable FPS rate. She's requesting 16GB of ram or higher and 1 TB SSD. I've never really researched mini-PCs before so I'm not sure which are best to choose haha.

[tranquil pebble]

and 12 has had multiple releases

[ancient swift]

Yeah, I dunno if they'll ever go over to anything else.

[rancid juniper]

It shouldn't be this way

[ancient swift]

Valve is looking into arm64 again

[rancid juniper]

That's actually dope

[ancient swift]

they've been testing Half life and other games on arm.

Wonder if they'll do an arm based Steam Deck 0.0

[rancid juniper]

Doubt

[opaque sedge]

This game is dx11 yets its so demanding, fire strike benchmark on 3d mark set my expectations too high for performance

[ancient swift]

or let an android handheld manufacturer make an Arm handheld for SteamOS.

[opaque sedge]

Or maybe its not that well optimized

[rancid juniper]

They still sticking with AMD and their powerful APU solutions, however it would be interesting to see AMD dabble into the arm(s) race

[tranquil pebble]

most versions of DirectX see multiple releases

[rancid juniper]

Oh

Well dX12 is taking its sweet time

[tranquil pebble]

AMD already did mess around with ARM with Opteron line

[rancid juniper]

Opteron was arm?

Tf

[ancient swift]

Nvidia too with the Tegra and so on.

[tranquil pebble]

Some were yes

[rancid juniper]

Probably embedded chips

Ok why did I say that

[tranquil pebble]

opteron a1100

[opaque sedge]

man this game looks so good lol, was kind of regretting not waiting for a sale but nahhh

[rancid juniper]

Nvidia when making switch chip, "I'm a winner when I'm fast but also a winner when I'm slow"

[opaque sedge]

ignore the severed head guys its still alive somehow

[opaque sedge]

they embody both the hare and tortoise, they have achieved enlightment

[rancid juniper]

This guy is breezing through all PS titles and I'm not even done with the first GOW

[ancient swift]

Its kinda funny cause the switch is so underclocked that by overclocking it you can emulate switch games on android.

[rancid juniper]

And reached people's wallets

[ancient swift]

Its the only console that can actually emulate itself.

[rancid juniper]

So... If I'm seeing this right, a switch emulating a switch on android OS?

[opaque sedge]

i'm obsessed man

[rancid juniper]

Alr man sheesh calm down

[opaque sedge]

not ragnarok but

[ancient swift]

Yea by jailbreaking the switch and overclocking it.

[rancid juniper]

Switchception on full display

[opaque sedge]

the combat felt better in the 2018 game tho ngl

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/ponke-ponkesol-monke-monkey-light-gif-759635889709420543

switch

[rancid juniper]

Switch 2

[ancient swift]

Can't wait for the Switch 2 tbh

As long as it launches with an OLED

The Legion Go and the Ayn 2 Mini are the last handhelds I'm getting without an OLED. Theres no reason for them to not have OLED screens anymore imo.

[tranquil pebble]

looking into it more... and Valve was involved in the development of Vulkan apparently.

[ancient swift]

Ye to get away from Microsoft Dependency

[tranquil pebble]

Its like holy crap, so many awesome things Valve did in 10 years

[ancient swift]

Its why they are a major supporter of proton/wine as well.

[tranquil pebble]

Valve was also apparently a founding member of the Khronos Group in 2000. Insane.

guess there is no need to worry about Valve changing directions lol

[ancient swift]

Apple has their own translation layer too that can be used on Linux to help x86 apps run on Arm. not sure if it only works on apple's hardware though.

[velvet summit]

is apple's m series chips specifically part of the arm arch? or is it an in-house risc arch

[ancient swift]

Its Arm

[tranquil pebble]

its ARM with Apple extensions

[velvet summit]

i see

so apple didnt go completely nonstandard in that front then

unless their translation layer relies on one of their extensions

[tranquil pebble]

probably does

Apple likes to mix just enough proprietary stuff in to make it hard to use their stuff for other systems

[velvet summit]

welp

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/812092189638131743/1287525285335535696/korewa.mp4?ex=66f1dcdd&is=66f08b5d&hm=829ec6dcd007de8edab2ff0694d6c197c110cfb8081b5422f1d4456b883481f0&

[tranquil pebble]

that said, the Mac and iOS kernel itself is open source

its all the stuff on top of it that is not

[velvet summit]

isnt it a unix based os iirc

[tranquil pebble]

yes, BSD like

[velvet summit]

i just remember that apple used to develop CUPS

well, know

i wasnt there when it happened

[tranquil pebble]

I have used CUPS on Linux before

[velvet summit]

well, technically i was alive, but yeah

also i still use cups for the print server feature

and yeah i use it on raspbian/debian

[tranquil pebble]

if you want a taste of pure unix, look up OpenIndiana... Its a relative of Unix System V

that can run on modern hw

Unix is barely hanging on there these days though lol. Linux has almost entirely replaced it.

[velvet summit]

asides from apple stuff, what even still uses unix as a base

actually

i know the answer

mainframes

[ancient swift]

Android and Linux are based on unix

[velvet summit]

true

[ancient swift]

well android is based on linux and linux is based on unix lol

[velvet summit]

yeah was gonna say lmao

[tranquil pebble]

Linux is a Unix-like kernel but it is not Unix in origin

[ancient swift]

Ohhh true

[velvet summit]

oh yeah wasnt it because unix wasnt open source or smth like that

[tranquil pebble]

it was basically a clone of sorts

[misty sparrow]

what is this.

[velvet summit]

wan pisu

[misty sparrow]

what

[velvet summit]

ワンピース

[tranquil pebble]

yeah something licensing related iirc

by the time open unix was available it was too late

[ancient swift]

Rosetta does function on Linux though so its probably close enough or apple is smart enough to also develop for linux users on their hardware

[tranquil pebble]

it likely would not function on non-Apple silicon

but if it does that is a shock, knowing apple

[velvet summit]

Who knows
Maybe they had a change of heart frfr

https://tenor.com/view/jack-tanamen-gecky-incorporeal-gif-21102682

[tranquil pebble]

Any "change of heart" of Apple would be a monkey's paw situation

[pliant berry]

Alright which screen protector and case do I buy for my iphone

[ancient swift]

Apparently you can but its not intentional. Its not seamless like it is on Apple hardware. So you might as well just use other compatibility layers.

[tranquil pebble]

I have eight sticks of 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 coming tomorrow. 128 GB of RAM in octo-channel is gonna go hard.

[misty sparrow]

why do you need 128GB again?

[tranquil pebble]

I dont, but it wasnt too expensive to buy it, and I wanted to populate all 8 slots on my board

[icy ore]

[weak cedar]

[tranquil pebble]

Watch it be like RTX 3090 as minimum GPU

[cursive oasis]

Estimated Performance: 1080p @30fps

[nocturne flicker]

I'm aboutta coast off the side of a cliff

One of my tires has a hole in it somewhere

My car go: do you wanna pay rent and utilities next month or do you want to drive to work

And I'm literally getting an oil change in 8 days and it just spawns a hole just to annoy me

[storm narwhal]

What about a tire patcher thing

Poke a strip of rubber into the hole and seal it with glue

[opaque sedge]

Depends on where the puncture is and if the tire has been patched in the past or not

[nocturne flicker]

It seems to be a smol one somewhere on the tire as the air leaks very slowly over time, so they might be able to patch it

[opaque sedge]

If its not in the sidewall should be easy enuf to patch it

[storm narwhal]

Oh that's true too yeah if its already patched before

[nocturne flicker]

But it can't hold over 30psi or it instantly shoots out the air

[opaque sedge]

Not even for a bit?

[storm narwhal]

Soap water can help you find the leak

[opaque sedge]

The puncture might be big then

[storm narwhal]

If you see it bubbling that's where the hole is

[opaque sedge]

The size too

[nocturne flicker]

As in the air being put in is enough to get pushed out. It is currently about 29psi and sounds and looks stable

But I push more air in it hisses it out

[storm narwhal]

Like a cat

How I know this don't ask

I don't know either

[nocturne flicker]

Luckily today is Sunday so I am off tomorrow. So if I wake up to it being flat I have time to screw around with it

[storm narwhal]

Patching with the way I said isn't hard at all but

Just depends on the other factors

That's like the extent of my tire leakage knowledge tho

But I do know a tire made out of a mesh of Nitinol has a much higher compression ability

And can be repaired with heat, obviously

[nocturne flicker]

I have to hope Ford didn't put on more cheap tire lug nuts when I had them replaced so that I can actually take the tire off

[storm narwhal]

Unless the underlying structure has suffered damage

The lugs just explode-

I swear to god ford

Now you're adding a thing to report other people and the driver for speeding to the police

[velvet summit]

oil changes are easy to diy

[storm narwhal]

I know your pan has to be big enough

[velvet summit]

takes like an hour~

[velvet summit]

or you can have 50 mason jars frfr

i saw a youtube short of somebody doing the jar swap method

but yeah, having an appropriately sized pan is much better

[storm narwhal]

I'm really stretching my barely existent car knowledge today

[velvet summit]

lmao

[weak cedar]

depends on how big the park and whats in it. some of them are huge

[velvet summit]

all you have to do for an oil change is have a method of safely lifting the car high enough to get under it (whether that is with a jack and jack stands, or you get one of those stands that you drive onto, or if you have a car lift)

and then you pull the plug on oilpan
make sure you are looking at the engine though

somebody pulled the plug on their transmission drain port 💀

but that's a bit further into the car

and then replace the oil filter; some cars have it easier to reach, some are terrible

put some oil on the new filter gasket, so that it doesnt bind while screwing it in

you screw that in hand tight

[storm narwhal]

I think I'd need a winch first no

[velvet summit]

nah

[storm narwhal]

Ah

[velvet summit]

oil changes and wheel rotations are the easiest things to do on a car

[weak cedar]

but ya this game is going to be beefy since you can put things on the coaster cars

[mighty hazel]

Bruh 💀 https://youtu.be/_uS50r3sA5M?si=FGMpGUkQsmGyc1ou

[velvet summit]

if you have a pickup, and you can squeeze under it, you dont even have to lift the truck

[mighty hazel]

Why’d they need to remove it. Does it cost them that much to keep it

[velvet summit]

though this is more typical for like, semi trucks

those are often tall enough to slide under

just grab some spare cardboard

[mighty hazel]

City skylines type game

[velvet summit]

those creepers dont work well for anything but smooth concrete

also try to work while somebody is with you in case of any accidents

though this is mainly important when you're not using jackstands where every warning says that you need to use it when using hydraulics because those are only as strong as the seal

[tranquil pebble]

yeah all that is way too much effort for me

[velvet summit]

it takes only around an hour if you dont have a car lift

half of that is just grunting and trying to get the oil filter off

lmfao

[tranquil pebble]

I would literally screw it up somehow too

[tranquil pebble]

i would not be able to do this at all

This isn't just something everyone can do

[velvet summit]

i would say it is
it is very simple work

not really much to screw up

you tell the place you're buying the oil and filter from your make, model, and year, and they'll find the right parts

[tranquil pebble]

Simple to understand maybe but it sounds like it requires some muscle

[velvet summit]

not really, it's just hard to get a grip

though sometimes the previous mechanic screws something on too tight

[tranquil pebble]

yeah and that kind of stuff I can't deal with

[velvet summit]

so that may take some more muscle, though even that is more of an issue of you just laying down and not having much good leverage to undo a bolt

[tranquil pebble]

I literally have trouble opening food containers sometimes

[velvet summit]

to be fair, there's oil filter wrenches

though some cars have less space to fit it

[nocturne flicker]

My man, I'm a very large man. I'd need a very very large jack in order to have enough space to get to the oil drain

[velvet summit]

💀

[tranquil pebble]

you're assuming too much about what some people are capable or not capable of doing

getting under a car is already a tough enough task to do safely

[velvet summit]

well, really it just requires some research or someone to tell you how to do it safely, though yeah some body shapes might not be as ideal for getting under a car with a regular jack

[tranquil pebble]

and if you do screw up with the jacks you can easily die

absolutely not worth the small money savings vs paying for a change

[velvet summit]

process of jacking the car is really just use the jack, put the jackstands under on each side, lower the jack, and push the car a few times to make sure it's stable

[tranquil pebble]

now changing an air filter I can do

[tranquil pebble]

on top of all this I don't even have anywhere safe to do this

[velvet summit]

honestly i've seen some people do it in the parking lot

[tranquil pebble]

certainly not going to do it in a parking lot or in the middle of the road

with how people drive, hell no

[velvet summit]

lmao

i have a gravel driveway so i borrow a neighbour's

[tranquil pebble]

Well, I am in literally no position to be able to safely do any of that.

[velvet summit]

💀

[tranquil pebble]

getting under the car is a no-go for me

[velvet summit]

ok fine, wheel changes are doable then
you dont have to get under the car for that

[tranquil pebble]

I probably could manage that with the right tools

[velvet summit]

you just need a breaker bar, the correct socket size, and a torque wrench, and a jack of some sort

[tranquil pebble]

Well, except ig getting the nuts off would require too much strength

[velvet summit]

break the bolts loose on the ground with the breaker bar, lift the car, remove the nuts, take the tire out, put the one you're changing in, and hand tight, lower car, and use torque wrench in a star pattern to secure the wheel

how good is your lifting strength

[tranquil pebble]

next to none

[velvet summit]

hmm

what's the maximum weight you can lift? or are you heavy enough to do it the opposite way and just push the bar down

[tranquil pebble]

I struggle at 50 lbs lifting

so safely probably around 30

[velvet summit]

30lb honestly probably should be enough with a decently long breaker bar
maybe with an additional cheater bar lmfao

[tranquil pebble]

regardless it would be hell for me to try that

[velvet summit]

though torquing it might be a bit more difficult, though you can use a cheater bar for it as well

for context, this is a breaker bar

[tranquil pebble]

I would absolutely require assistance in any case, not something I could do on my own

[velvet summit]

fair ig

[tranquil pebble]

and at that point I am better off paying for the service anyways

its stuff like air filter change though that is stupid to pay labor for

[velvet summit]

i mean, you could also do the considerably less effort but a bit louder method of using an impact driver to loosen the bolts, and also use it to tighten (not as recommended but alot of auto shops do it out of laziness) and then verify with a torque wrench lmao

[tranquil pebble]

I dont even know how to use such tools lol

[velvet summit]

it's like a drill

but with a hammer inside so you dont feel the torque as much

[tranquil pebble]

again, this is something I would need to be shown how to safely use

[velvet summit]

if you know how to use a drill, you should be able to use an impact

skill level, these tasks are very simple, and you could teach it to someone easily, but in terms of physical fitness to do them, yeah that's fair

[tranquil pebble]

I have a general idea but I have never used any kind of power tool before

[storm narwhal]

Its the uh

The stubby one

I think

[velvet summit]

the ones with enough torque ususally are about as big or even bigger than a drill

[fathom marlin]

Question: I would like to purchase Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition. But Newegg's website shows "upgrade license", https://www.newegg.com/microsoft-windows-10-enterprise-ltsc-2021-upgrade/p/N82E16832351759

What does that mean?

[velvet summit]

i believe you need to have windows already

[storm narwhal]

Probably yeah

[tranquil pebble]

and I much prefer not just picking something up and trying it without any instruction when it involves potentially dangerous tools

[fathom marlin]

any windows?

[velvet summit]

the windows 10 ltsc is very expensive for the ltsc

windows 10 i would presume

though if you had windows 8 or whatever, you would have had been able to get the 10 key for free

[tranquil pebble]

if you have to ask, this key isnt for you

[fathom marlin]

Can I still purchase Windows 10?

[fathom marlin]

why is that?

[velvet summit]

honestly, basically the only safety things about impact drivers and drills are just dont wear gloves with them (rotating machines should not have gloves, loose clothing, or hair) or they can get caught
and you need to use the black impact driver sockets with them or they can explode

oh yeah and as for every power tool, safety glasses is a must

but overall, pretty safe for a power tool

[tranquil pebble]

because the way enterprise licensing works is beyond what you have access to

if you buy it you wont be able to use it

[fathom marlin]

I work in a company and why can't I purchase it?

We already use it for some products

[tranquil pebble]

if that is the case there should be people within that company responsible for handling that stuff

[velvet summit]

honestly windows 10 ltsc isnt worth it

unless you have systems that only work on windows 10

you have to pay for every year of the extended security support

you wont get any feature updates

[fathom marlin]

I don't need feature updates... I inherited some products that were built on Windows 10

[velvet summit]

do they not work on 11 at all? have you tried

pretty much all windows 10 apps works on 11

[fathom marlin]

I don't know how our customers have installed after we shipped the products

our main software works with Windows 11

[velvet summit]

hmm

[fathom marlin]

but customers may have install their own software on top of it

I am moving our new products to Linux and lock them down... But I have to deal with some old products that we sold before.

Some of them have been migrated to Windows 10 LTSC already...

[velvet summit]

honestly you're better off contacting microsoft support if you need licenses

[tranquil pebble]

Well, that kind of licensing issue is probably best handled by contacting Microsoft

[fathom marlin]

ok...

[tranquil pebble]

Their licensing for business is anything but simple and straightforward

[fathom marlin]

Can Microsoft resellers deal with it?

[tranquil pebble]

and as a business, if you dont use the license correctly, you could end up getting sued

[fathom marlin]

right

[velvet summit]

you could attempt to contact [e-mail]

[fathom marlin]

I did that earlier... guess I'll wait for them to answer

[mighty hazel]

1 egg only 😭

[velvet summit]

note that none of us here except for the ones in orange or peach colour are not newegg staff

[tranquil pebble]

Yes, because most people here do not work with volume licensing agreements and the like

[velvet summit]

they got stuck in bios

💀

[mighty hazel]

💀💀

[fathom marlin]

Got it

[velvet summit]

[mighty hazel]

LMAO

[tranquil pebble]

the one reviewer is someone who probably bought without knowing what it is

[velvet summit]

the question is why they bought it

[mighty hazel]

[velvet summit]

💀

it's so expensive

even compared to pro

[tranquil pebble]

people are silly sometimes

[velvet summit]

more expensive windows = better frfr

[mighty hazel]

Ik people with ltsc. Surprisingly a lot use it 💀

[velvet summit]

they really goofed on that one, they should've bought windows server

that's the most expensive version

my friend has windows 11 iot edition

💀

[mighty hazel]

💀

[velvet summit]

their task manager looks cool though

stock windows

[mighty hazel]

Windows 10 till 2034 💀

They really hated windows 11

[velvet summit]

to be fair

[tranquil pebble]

individuals using it is a whole different issue than a business. Individuals wont get in trouble for not licensing correctly in general, but a business could be sued to oblivion

[velvet summit]

copilot everywhere sucks

💀

but windows 11 iot enterprise ltsc doesnt have copilot built in

[weak cedar]

Microsoft > you need copilot
Me > For what?

[velvet summit]

you should ask copilot why you need it

frfr

[tranquil pebble]

ask it to uninstall itself

[weak cedar]

Ask to report itself as pupware

[weak cedar]

Close enough?

I've been playing a lot of imperator rome lately

[nocturne flicker]

I avoided that one. I have experienced Victoria 3 through unnamed methods tho

[hoary zodiac]

Imperator's actually pretty solid now

It's got more solid gameplay mechanics than victoria 3

It's like a mix of eu4 and ck2

[nocturne flicker]

I thought they abandoned it, did they eventually come back?

[hoary zodiac]

they did

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

[hoary zodiac]

I play with the invictus mod

tho I've been playing vanilla to get achievements recently

there's a lot more gameplay depth than victoria 3

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe I'll check it out and see how it is one day. Until then I shall be playing PCBS

[hoary zodiac]

1 or 2

[nocturne flicker]

1

[hoary zodiac]

lol

I'm still waiting for the steam release for 2

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, that's what I'm waiting for too

I may have an epic but I don't want to buy from them

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

I'd rather pay money to valve

epic just eats my money

meanwhile with valve at least some of that money goes towards steam proton

[nocturne flicker]

And some of it goes towards game dev now that they found the keys to their studio

[hoary zodiac]

[mighty hazel]

True. I didn’t even know you could get ltsc if you’re not a dev before that 💀

[tranquil pebble]

you effectively can not get it unless you are a business at least not properly licensed

[hoary zodiac]

10 ltsc is what windows should be

I'm glad it's still supported but like

not for mass consumers

[mighty hazel]

Idk why people think windows 10 ends in a year. Just don’t update?

[hoary zodiac]

windows have been slowly pushing me towards linux more and more

[hoary zodiac]

technically you could use it for all eternity

however

[mighty hazel]

Fr

[hoary zodiac]

security updates

ltsc users can use it for longer but

still

[mighty hazel]

Tbh I’ve been trying to stop updates, it’s always some useless bs like copilot

[hoary zodiac]

my next windows install is probably going to be a heavily debloated iso

even debloated it runs like crap

[mighty hazel]

I usually just do the tweaks manually. I don’t trust scripts

[icy ore]

tweakin

[hoary zodiac]

I'm on linux most of the time these days

linux has its issues but at least I don't get bs bloatware updates

you remind me of a user that is banned here

Hi

How can I help

[rough zinc]

How do I take out treble hook out of ear

[gleaming sedge]

so I know hard drives are different heights, with a project im working on what would be a good way to hold a hard drive in the up right position and not use screws to hold it in yet have room for the varying sizes of hard drives?

[rough zinc]

This chat bot sucks, response takes too long

Smh

[worthy meteor]

sorry, I couldn't understand you, can you repeat that?

[mortal grail]

Have you tried sticking it where the sun don't shine?
Was this helpful?
[Yes] / [No]

[worthy meteor]

in a particular case..?

[rough zinc]

Treble hook in ear, must turn into treble hook out of ear, how to?

[rough zinc]

[yes], how do I stick it where the sun don’t shine?

Please generate image

[silver sparrow]

How likely do you think it would be that intel for once in their life actually decides to make a mobo socket last more than 2 Gens

[gleaming sedge]

nope, just need it to slide in and hold enough to plug in and use and when done slide it out. my first design was a sleeve that when around the hard drive and i was just going to print it where it went roughly half way up it but that wont work as well unless i do it for all hard drive sizes. (its for a custom test bench)

[mortal grail]

Please upgrade to wegg pro for $18/mo.

Guessing you have a mix of 3.5in and 2.5in drives, why not just make a couple of each?

[rough zinc]

[Yes]

[mortal grail]

Thank you! Your feedback means the world to us!
Goodbye!

[rough zinc]

That concludes my monthly visit to wegg

[gleaming sedge]

the problem is the thickness difference

[worthy meteor]

a funky option could be to buy/salvage 3.5in or 2.5in drive cages and hold them upright with a printed holder for one end

or try to print the tray(?) thing of the cage yourself

[proud jackal]

time to replace all our techies with AI

[rough zinc]

Already have been

[gleaming sedge]

this is the one i have now and was the first idea until i rembmerd about them being diffrenet heights. I bought a new HDD yesterday and it one fit as its bigger than the one in the photo

[sinful blade]

Felix, I need your opinion

Do you prefer Victorian style homes or modern

[opaque sedge]

So do fe cards stop production few months within release?

[mortal grail]

Victorian I think

[mortal grail]

It may do

[opaque sedge]

Its confusing to me ngl cuz they set the base msrp for the chip itself right? Yet now they’re sold many times that?

And partners rarely ever go with the set msrp

Also jesus christ the new final fantasy game is demanding

The 40 series are quickly becoming last gen

[wary fjord]

🙂 what a nice guy.

[wicked oriole]

you guys quick question about monitors, if i get a 4k monitor a refresh rate isnt possible of more than 120 hz currently right? i mean realistically that you can get, no gpu besides the 4090 can present 120+ fps in 4k right?

[mortal grail]

4090 is kinda the only one that can fairly reliably do that ye

And since all gpus except the current gen radeon pro can only do ubr 40, and the radeon pro itself doing ubr56, no current gpus can really do anything higher than 4k144 native

Beyond that you need DSC

So really, most 4k240 monitors (if not all) use DSC to hit those numbers

Last I looked a couple months ago none of them were ubr80 spec

[serene nacelle]

hello

[wicked oriole]

i see, so a 120hz will be fine?

[mortal grail]

Yea? Though it'll be somewhat tough on a 7900XT

You can sorta get 120 native on 4K low with an XTX

[wicked oriole]

4080s

[mortal grail]

Same answer

You'd need to use upscaling to go 120+

[wicked oriole]

figured id ballpark around 80

[mortal grail]

About there ye

Maybe a little higher

[wicked oriole]

i think id wannna stick to native

[mortal grail]

Then 4K lowest settings and pray

[wicked oriole]

rip lol would upscaling be better? i feel like if thats the case then i just put it on my tv to see

[mortal grail]

Ye

Though the consensus on FSR is a rightfully mixed bag

[wicked oriole]

whats this mean?

[mortal grail]

FSR is an upscaler

[wicked oriole]

gotcha

i was comparing and contrasting how cyberpunk looked at 2k on max setting vs it @60fps on my ps5. graphics looked visually noticable difference on the ps5 oddly

[mortal grail]

Cos a ps5 is more like an rx 6700 for power

[wicked oriole]

so now i either want a 4k monitor for those games orrrrrr hook it up to my tv in the other room

but the hooking it up to my tv wouldnt be fun unless i bought a 20 foot hdr hdmi cable and the tv isnt oled 😦

[mortal grail]

If you want to do that you'll want a fibre cable

Normal and active cables are rubbish for lengths over 5m

Fibre is pricey but it's a one and done purchase

[wicked oriole]

i was gonna ask is it because of the path to travel lololol

[mortal grail]

Ye

Fibre can travel much much longer without signal loss

[wicked oriole]

interesting...

im about to move everything around lol

[mortal grail]

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

I doubt that lol

[wicked oriole]

also how do i get the fps/cpu temp to show up on display? i have geoforce but that overlay only shows gpu temp, fps and cpu usage but not temp

[mortal grail]

RTSS

Presentmon

Aida64

GFE is rubbish, don't use it imo

[wicked oriole]

i tried hwinfo 64 but it came out bad. like i barely noticed it bad,

like this

i see it on a lot of benchmark videos

[mortal grail]

Ye hwinfo is a good one

[wicked oriole]

i see thats afterburner lol

what i was trying to avoid, do i need to have anything msi to use that?

[mortal grail]

Yes

RTSS is msi's

Why do you want to avoid afterburner ?

[wicked oriole]

just not a fan of msi

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

Great reason

Lmao what

[mortal grail]

Afterburner is just a program

Arguably one of if not the best for nvidia oc tbh

[craggy shoal]

Afterburner is probably the best MSI product lol

[mortal grail]

Fr

[craggy shoal]

Like nothing wrong it

[wicked oriole]

fair

[mortal grail]

So good that nvidia continues to try copy it

[wicked oriole]

so ill need rtss to use in conjunction with it?

[craggy shoal]

RTSS comes with Afterburner

So, the other way around

[wicked oriole]

im seeing that now lol

do i need to get the server file download then? lol

i keep getting an error?

[mortal grail]

Mmmm I use aida

Ask @rancid juniper for tutorial

Real talk, wtf with their keyboard tho

I'm shocked I could speed type on my old iphone with that lmao

Thinking about getting a Framework 13 lol

Tired of my Dell being slow for no reason (plus it only has an Intel 11th gen CPU 🤮)

A laptop with a DP option? Nuts

[velvet summit]

I mean

Dp alt mode exists on quite a few laptops

[craggy shoal]

True but a full DisplayPort on a laptop is crazy to me

That's not USB C I don't think

Man I wish I could reuse the 32GB in my Dell laptop but I have to buy extra memory because DDR5 exists now 🙃

My build comes out to $1183.18 bruh

Can't even use Affirm bruh

[mortal grail]

That's just the framework for later

[craggy shoal]

lol

Guess this laptop is going onto my Christmas list

[mortal grail]

I wanted one of those

I just couldn't bring myself to the entry price

Because they definitely gotcha you at the start for a modular design. I don't see it as a scam but, difficult to justify

[craggy shoal]

True but I feel like it almost pays for itself. Like basically just buy a shell that you can easily upgrade the parts for whenever necessary

[mortal grail]

Yea I agree

[craggy shoal]

Oh your Asus doesn't have the port that massages your cheeks? Guess you have to buy a whole new laptop that has that feature

Not with Framework. Just buy the port that's like $20

[mortal grail]

Could you imagine framework doing that

Butt massager add on

[craggy shoal]

lolll

I just wish I could finance it lol

[craggy shoal]

Clickbait going crazy 💀

[mortal grail]

"The number one requested feature is finally here!"

[craggy shoal]

Simple question but USB 4 basically does the same thing as Thunderbolt, right? Like can I dock the laptop to a docking station if I wanted to? That's practically my whole workflow so if I couldn't do that it defeats the whole purpose of getting a Ryzen-based Framework lol

[mortal grail]

Yesn't

You'll love this

Usb 4

Ok

[craggy shoal]

Ok

Yeah

Ok

Yuh

Real RX

[mortal grail]

Ok, it has all the terrors of the last generation of usb 3

All

Ok?

All wrapped into one

It's a nightmare

Every single spec, now all in one (four variants) simple spec!

Ok

Now

Ok

If you

Yeah?

[craggy shoal]

Like "my USB C doesn't let me dock my laptop" kind of terrors? I've found that all of those people complaining didn't know about the 473198407 types of USB C cables and how some were even USB 2.0 cables hiding as primarily power-primarily cables. I at least know how to read specs lol

[mortal grail]

Want to have all the usb 4 features yeah?

It's gotta say

Get this

"USB 4 40gbps"

Yeah?

So you can have ok

4 different variants

5, 10, 20, 40

Right?

40 is what gives the thunderbolt

[craggy shoal]

Not so confusing for my ADHD ass lol

[mortal grail]

Ok

Lol

[craggy shoal]

The 7640U (probably the CPU I'll be going with) supports USB 4 (40 Gbps) but the "USB-C" addon on Framework's site doesn't specifically state the speed

bruh

[opaque sedge]

Chip names are so confusing

[craggy shoal]

Bigger number = better

easy

Bruh why does Framework's site take up so many resources

Just closed the Framework tabs I had open and my CPU finally dropped from 100%

good gosh

bad CPU maybe? 💀 hence why I want to upgrade

Yeah it's an i5 1135G7 but I mean still. It has 4c8t. No reason to be pinned at 100% just for loading a website like what

[mortal grail]

Don't worry it can only be 10 different possible specs

[craggy shoal]

Not even that many lol

[mortal grail]

You don't even realise

☠️

[craggy shoal]

Bruh it's not even that difficult. It's just as simple as "does this specific subversion of USB 4 support the speed I need? Yes? Then that's the version I need"

easy like what

[mortal grail]

Usb 4 40 20 10 5
Usb 3.2 gen 2x2 gen 2 3.1 3.0
Usb 2.0
Thunderbolt 4 3

Sorry 11

Wait I forgot quick charge

[craggy shoal]

lolll

[mortal grail]

What quick charge we on now? 7?

I fr stopped counting after 3

That was like 4 years ago

[wary fjord]

4.0

[mortal grail]

Wow I thought someone would say like 9

[elfin mural]

qc 4.0 is base standard

[wary fjord]

Nvm

Its 5

[elfin mural]

no one uses a conforming standard these days

[wary fjord]

Qc 5 at 2020

[elfin mural]

they all use their own solutions

with some support with usb pd

[craggy shoal]

Y'all act like it's hard to keep track of stuff lol
https://zipline.terracasa.cc/u/Oi5WXV.png

[elfin mural]

and qc 5 for latest qualcomm phones

[mortal grail]

Can we like

Sacrifice the usb committee

[elfin mural]

qc 5 is qualcomm's standard tho

[mortal grail]

Why do we have 16 different usb specs yet we can only count to 5

[elfin mural]

it's not related to usb-if

usb-if's current standard is usb pd

240w pd

[mortal grail]

Gdi

[craggy shoal]

bruh WHY

[opaque sedge]

7800x3d would like a word

[craggy shoal]

"it's bigger and cooler" idc 💀

[mortal grail]

Now we have the alternative story arc as well

[opaque sedge]

(Yes ik its for a single use case but still)

[elfin mural]

usb pd is supposed to cover all usb-c devices

which they successfully have done so

but ofc

phones still love using their own standard

[wary fjord]

Aslong it says quick charge its Gucci xD

[craggy shoal]

This is what I really like

[opaque sedge]

Bring ur own os? Is laptop windows different than desktop windows?

[mortal grail]

Next thing you're gonna tell me is asrock gaming ports are separate usb spec too

[wary fjord]

Yes

[craggy shoal]

Literally the same thing

[elfin mural]

lmao

[mortal grail]

Tomie no

[elfin mural]

i hate all these standards because

[mortal grail]

[craggy shoal]

I have ADHD. Actually the easiest thing for me to understand

[elfin mural]

you need specific chargers to fully utilize a phone's charging capability

[mortal grail]

Imagine how Motor feels, he just wants a simple usb-C port now he has to think about 17 different possibilities

[wary fjord]

Some are made up specs just to espose that pin.. u know theres total of 24 pin u can espose xD

[elfin mural]

samsung has "super fast charging"

25w

super fast charging 2.0 means 45w

lmao

[mortal grail]

Isn't xaomi up to 300w

[craggy shoal]

I can make 1000 calculations per second and they'll all be wrong but I can remember how your fart sounded from exactly five years two months and 20 days ago

[elfin mural]

ya

that's not released in any phone yet tho

but i think 300w just to charge a phone is.. ridiculous

even if for a few seconds

[mortal grail]

*The same calculation 1000 times a second

[wary fjord]

The 300w fast charging is nice.. go brrr

[opaque sedge]

Everything reminds me of her…

[wary fjord]

90w already impressive on its 35 mins 1-100..

[mortal grail]

Then swap back

[elfin mural]

iphone 16 is the most

boring launch ever

[craggy shoal]

Intel versions: "Starting at $779.00"
The $779 option: (unavailable so the actual starting price is $999) BRUH

[elfin mural]

it's just a phone

we don't need to play resident evil village on it

[wary fjord]

Ow yeah xiomi just throwing 120hz on its low end phones now xD

I think they have so many

[opaque sedge]

Yh i’m kind of scared to go back to micro and return a 600 buck card just cuz i dont like the look of it now 💀 been there like 3 times all for gpu problems

I’m probably in a list at this point

Also does dlss have minor artifacting sometimes?

[wary fjord]

We do winlator xD...

[mortal grail]

Take the dude you met 3 times out for a drink

[craggy shoal]

ngl I'm gonna throw a bomb and say that I don't understand the point to high-refresh rate screens on phones. I already don't get the purpose to gaming laptops (and yeah idc about the "but it's portable tho" argument. You're not gaming on it while otg lol). So what's even the point to 120 Hz on a phone? You're not doing heavy gaming on that either lol

[craggy shoal]

"For Genshin" shut up lmao

[wary fjord]

Rpcs3 works fine on winlator surprisingly

Emu inside emu lol

[elfin mural]

high refresh is nice for day to day

i can't go back to 60hz

[mortal grail]

[elfin mural]

even for day to day ui navigation

[opaque sedge]

Like light dots in a specific area of reflection? Or is it just the ai struggling to reconstruct the textures?

[wary fjord]

Same as desktop its night and day

[mortal grail]

Yes

[wary fjord]

Less delay touch input

[craggy shoal]

A lot of games are still locked at 30 fps anyways lol

[wary fjord]

Snappy.. very fluid

[elfin mural]

they're actually at 60 nowadays

but

im not saying gaming is important

cuz gaming on a phone is like

[wary fjord]

Lol not if u have Xiaomi

[elfin mural]

an afterthought

[mortal grail]

I wish games were locked to 120+ fps so Raytracing could be blocked for people who throw money into jensen's donation basket

[craggy shoal]

I agree there. But Apple needs to fix their "you need to let the animation finish before you can tap the screen to do what you want to do next" issue. Makes all of iOS feel like trash to use

[elfin mural]

my opinion however is still

[opaque sedge]

Interesting, i only noticed it when i turned on ray reconstruction.

[elfin mural]

120hz on phones are good to have

[opaque sedge]

Forgive me…

[craggy shoal]

Like bruh I hate inefficiency. Let me use my phone at 47389147 miles per hour. idc about the animations

[elfin mural]

even 90hz would noticeably boost your day to day usage

[mortal grail]

Someone please make a minimum 120fps graphic settings lock hack

I will plant it in every 4090 pc I find

[opaque sedge]

Is this an attack to me 💀

[opaque sedge]

They would just downgrade to 1440p

[elfin mural]

efficiency doesn't drop all that much nowadays with modern oled

[mortal grail]

Bruh I own a 4090 I'm self owning

[opaque sedge]

What aib is it?

Pny?

[mortal grail]

Suprim x air

[opaque sedge]

Msi?

[elfin mural]

at least you can toggle refresh rates

[mortal grail]

3090 MHz +1500 vram

[craggy shoal]

I'd honestly rather have fewer animations in my phone (or at least just make them faster) so I don't have to wait for it to end so I can tap on the next button. idk if anybody knows what I mean but you'd get it after going from a Windows machine to a Mac OS machine lol

[opaque sedge]

Oh god he overclocked it

[elfin mural]

ios is excessive on animations

on android you can config it

[wary fjord]

Xiomi can alter it to output 120 xD for games thats lock on 60... Some games support 120.. pubg, mobile legends, etc. just make sure to add it on game turbo.

But yeah its interpolation for games thats lock on 60

[mortal grail]

Yeah why not, it's dead stable in everything

[elfin mural]

but tho even stock im fine with android's animation

[mortal grail]

I can throw max cp77 at it, won't die

[opaque sedge]

Afterburner is the go to software for overclocking rtx cards right?

[mortal grail]

Gimme warzone, the gpu killer

Ye

[craggy shoal]

yes

[mortal grail]

I got a bit lucky with the 4090

But I hate ada

[craggy shoal]

Bruh somebody really thought real-time interpolation was a good idea. Like nah just keep that in the pre-rendered stuff

[mortal grail]

I love this card but nvidia drivers have been both great and horrendous to me on it

[opaque sedge]

Ada lovelace? More like ada goldigger

So the current architecture is unstable with couple drivers?

[mortal grail]

"It's your overclock" it was all reproducible on stock too

Yes

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the 30series?

Did they take drivers well?

[mortal grail]

30 series had it's own share of assery

I guess I'm contagious to problems?

[opaque sedge]

So the 10 16 and 20 series were the most reliable?

[mortal grail]

I had bricked drivers for several months on Ada

I couldn't install them properly at all

[opaque sedge]

Did you reset windows?

I had to on my first 7900xt

[mortal grail]

[opaque sedge]

Oh god

[mortal grail]

If I'm complaining, I've tried things

[opaque sedge]

He wiped it out

[mortal grail]

☠️

30 series had horrendous issues with nvsurround

I was reinstalling every second day

[wary fjord]

The way phone do it is different than windows.. no delay at all xD but yeah still nice if games now adays just add 120 stop capping it xD we dont need to use interpolation if they dont cap it

[craggy shoal]

Same for me only it applies to absolutely everything I complain about

[opaque sedge]

I mean hey pretty sure it was you and deafguy who guided me when resetting my windows

[mortal grail]

Yes

And let me set the record straight

When ada works

when it works

[opaque sedge]

Yes

I’m reading

[mortal grail]

Most stable nvidia arch to date

But when it breaks jfc

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I would be fine with it in TVs if the delay could be drawn way down (almost to zero)

[opaque sedge]

Its my 7900xt all over again

It also started taking latest drivers very well then it borked

[wary fjord]

Hell yeah xD smart tv with that will be awesome

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that would throw some extra life into my Xbox One S if interpolation could have near-zero input delay. Likely never to happen (at least soon) but would be nice

[wary fjord]

Also xiomi has auto/ai hdr + super resolution on any video u watch..

[mortal grail]

I love when I bring this up cos the XTX on the contrary had a weird first month with me, but thereafter I almost never had a problem

I had a temp problem

Which was a skill issue

[opaque sedge]

And it was probably a memory issue like tomie said cuz i decided to boot up cyberpunk on and pushed the vram by exploring everything in the open world till it got to 10 gigs after playing for 3 hours and then the artifacting happened

[mortal grail]

Cos I had to learn I NEEDED PTM for a waterblock

But after that...nothing

[opaque sedge]

It was only light rays that were artifacting like dots zapping out, textures were fine

[mortal grail]

RDNA 3 was a massive leap over 2 for driver stability

My experience is really positive

[wary fjord]

Let amd cook

[opaque sedge]

Mine was too till this crap

She broke mah heart

[wary fjord]

Snap laptop chip.. it seems nobody wants it xD

Its just pain to port everything on it

[elfin mural]

that's why

[wary fjord]

Some games not working on it

[elfin mural]

microsoft has been working on compatibility layer

there's no native ports

well there is for some programs

[wary fjord]

Microsoft so addicted to compatibility layer u can still see traces of windows 95 on your system

[elfin mural]

but certainly not games

[wary fjord]

Some icons and stuff

[elfin mural]

so microsoft just

works on it over time

[opaque sedge]

Rdna 3 reminds me the 7700xt and the 7800xt are soon gonna be good budget picks like the rx6700 and 6800 right?

[elfin mural]

also sheer brute force

[wary fjord]

Maybe still rocking my 5700

[mortal grail]

I'm back

Sorry I move my hand 3 inches and my table setting exploded into 30 billion rice fragments

[opaque sedge]

Bacca was suggesting me that in case i wanted to wait for the 50series when my 7900xt borked

[opaque sedge]

Your table shattered?

Or did it just become messy?

[mortal grail]

It turned into baby's first dinner for 5 minutes

[wary fjord]

XD

Install some wheels on it

With lock

[mortal grail]

The fork was amazingly effective for such a small bump

[opaque sedge]

Me but with wires

Ignore that expensive apple charger my phones charging port borked and i had to use that

[mortal grail]

Is ur dpi like 32K

Got the mouse workspace of a slice of bread

[wary fjord]

Deym so many wires

Clean it

[opaque sedge]

16k

[wary fjord]

Deym

[mortal grail]

Are you the kind of fps player where if you sneeze you do a 720

[opaque sedge]

How i recently lost to adam smasher 💀

[mortal grail]

Man needs his pad space back

[opaque sedge]

Overclocking and apple reminds me can macs be overclocked?

[wary fjord]

16k on that is not that surprising because of the texture of the pad.. u have control on it.. just make sure u disable motion sync

[opaque sedge]

Nah like my 7900xt used to be so damn hot I couldn’t even properly grip my mouse on the right half of the mousepad and now i’m used to not using it whole

[mortal grail]

???

[opaque sedge]

Where’s that setting?

[opaque sedge]

My pc is to the right of the mouse pad

[mortal grail]

I see thay

How is ur glass so hot

[wary fjord]

No idea xD some mouse has it

[opaque sedge]

Not sure but that thing used to be hot

[mortal grail]

It was to hot?

[opaque sedge]

Be hot*💀

[mortal grail]

*to hot

[opaque sedge]
