I just installed the LG 34GS95QE anyone familiar with this monitor?

opaque sedge
#

Personally just get the product that is available for the best value at time

#

For example rn amd has great offerings

#

So go with amd but in the future it might be intel again

#

Its pretty damn pointless to swear loyalty to a brand at your expense of getting value products

tranquil pebble

yeah I used to use Intel

So far things are going well with my current attempt to switch to Linux. Much much smoother than my last attempt at Linux as a desktop OS. I am literally on the brink of being able to ditch Windows as my primary OS.

I hate Wyoming, this place is horrible, no wonder no one lives here

other than it doesn't exist

Man I need a DAS

#

A DAS and a couple of phat drives

pliant berry
#

I need a thunderbolt dock

craggy shoal
#

Kinda same

#

I actually need like two DASs and a hard drive enclosure

pliant berry
#

Lol

#

Why not nas though

mortal grail
#

I need an FV4011 Centurion Mk. 5/2 main battle tank

#

Armed with a 105mm Royal Ordinance L7 rifled gun with 410mm of rolled homogenous armour penetration using APDSFS ammunition.

pliant berry
craggy shoal
# pliant berry Why not nas though

It's complicated but basically:

  • Nextcloud PC at the office with primitive redundancy
  • That "redundancy" is literally just SMB the Nextcloud data volume to a PC at home (I consider home as our second headquarters, so technically I'm at work constantly lolll)
  • I'd store this data on another PC that's already built (so, would need a DAS, as building a NAS is probably more expensive and would absolutely consume power given the parts I have)
  • DAS would also be nice for storing movies (I plan on ripping these. Don't worry wegg, I'm not pirating)
#

DAS is just more ideal for me because I already have servers. They're like a plug-n-play solution compared to building a power-hungry server using parts that I already have (although would be basically the same price if not cheaper but also would take up a lot of space somewhere in my house). Plus since this is technically business related, I might be able to get my parents to buy it for me

mortal grail
#

With my FV4011 Centurion Mk. 5/2 main battle tank the only way my APDSFS ammunition can be countered is using kontakt-5 2nd generation explosive armour plating place at an exposed 30 degree angle, providing a trajectory disruption to the payload and avoiding direct penetration of a weak spot and dissipating the shell force over a thicker body of armour.

craggy shoal
#

I really want to convince them to give me an "IT budget," given that I'm the only IT guy and I want to get things moving

Did you see the new ubiquiti nas? Looks interesting as its not too expensive for a rack mount system and is very power efficient. Basically only good for storage though, no apps and I think it doesn’t have redundant psu

I can't justify a NAS over $300 rn lol

Christmas is coming. "So put it on your Christmas list" I already have other priorities and it's already expensive 😭

How much is das enclosure?

craggy shoal
pliant berry
#

Ahh

craggy shoal
#

But would be worth it imo

mortal grail
#

WRONG TWITTER KRUNK

craggy shoal
#

And then just put some phat drives in it

#

"They're like $200-$250" doesn't help when you need two of them and still need a generic TB4 enclosure for your Mac Mini M4 🙃

pliant berry
#

Hdds are really cheap now. Saw some 12tb drives for under 100usd in #tech-deals not too long ago

craggy shoal
#

storage maxxing frfr

craggy shoal
pliant berry
#

Well that’s not to say they aren’t good, just a bit old and usually refurbished

craggy shoal
#

And idk if it's a better idea but I also want to look into 2.5" SSDs for this purpose. I've heard it isn't ideal but SSDs are cheap, plus less moving parts, so technically more reliable for the same price, right? idk

craggy shoal
#

I already don't do used storage for my client-side PCs

pliant berry
#

Umm I don’t think its necessarily more reliable, but solid state has its benefits

craggy shoal
#

It's not much faster either obviously. It's all going to be in RAID 0 minus like one drive that backups any dead drive

mortal grail
#

Paper is the most reliable

craggy shoal
#

Redundancy is always the answer

pliant berry
#

True

pliant berry
#

I usually use raid 5

mortal grail
#

I forget all the raid lingo

#

Paper is easier

craggy shoal
#

I forgot which RAIDs are which lol. I graduated almost a year ago and nobody talks about RAID again (isn't the new alternative ZFS? Could be wrong idk. I haven't built a proper storage server)

mortal grail
#

You can print off movies and no one knocks on your door for copyright

#

It's so easy

pliant berry
#

5 is 1 drive parity i believe

craggy shoal
pliant berry
#

Zfs is the software alternative to running raid. As opposed to hardware raid cards

craggy shoal

@velvet summit @rancid juniper if you think about it, some games you play in dungeons with teleport circles right

Why don't they just not reconstruct you after you've been broken down molecularly?

Isn't that an instant win?

quick travel is just moving your data from one android body to another KEKW and that's also how you respawn

#

Are they androids too

#

Maybe that's why they don't try with teleporters

#

I'm not wrong though right

They could just scatter your molecules everywhere

I think it'd make more sense to try and put it into a MMO or some sort of RPG, where talking and actual interactions are more important

Ohhh right

But civilization could be interesting too

Cuz imagine getting ur kingdom usurped by an npc

...But how would a llm be useful there?

Rather than a traditional game ai

opaque sedge
#

Randomness?

nocturne flicker
#

Which can be coded into a traditional ai as well, yes

opaque sedge
#

Damn

#

Thats pretty cool

nocturne flicker
#

Basically you just have to give it a bunch of variables to choose from and have it select from them randomly. I guess the only difference is that a llm would be able to generate the variables themselves, but that can easily and quickly create variables that make no sense

LLM in SimCity 2000 would be the best combo in the history of gaming

The first part is agree with about the renting

dusk knot

Perfection

#

Now let me contemplate on how I cannot afford that

mortal grail
#

Lol

fervent stump
#

Also even tho there scamming people which is bad I still sadly am going to buy one more item from them then I’m done

#

My pc so far

mortal grail
#

You do you, I'm not here to have a relapse into a discussion we know the conclusion to

fervent stump
mortal grail
#

Point is, NZXT rentals are predatory and alarmingly malicious

fervent stump
#

Yea

mortal grail
#

And this deserves reposting everywhere

fervent stump
#

I don’t like that

#

Should I put it in the nzxt server😭

#

They already don’t like me there

mortal grail
#

I'll put it there myself

I'll butt heads

Alright thanks for the sacrifice

Not sure

elfin mural
#

nzxt rental program should be taken down

hoary zodiac
#

wait

#

nzxt... rentals?

elfin mural
#

it's a huge scam

#

yeah

hoary zodiac
#

do they rent ovens

rancid juniper
#

wegg server is correct on NZXT

elfin mural
#

top spec is $200+ a month

rancid juniper
#

they really are terrible

hoary zodiac
#

AHHAHA

#

$200 a month

#

just buy a pc

elfin mural
#

for a pc YOU WILL NEVER OWN

rancid juniper
#

and i never knew about a "rental" program

#

w

#

t

#

f

elfin mural
#

lmao

hoary zodiac
#

2 months and you can get a used pc

elfin mural
#

"gaming with no commitment"

#

like wat

#

you still have to commit by getting scammed

hoary zodiac
#

see if you buy a pc you can sell it

elfin mural
#

yeah

rancid juniper
#

everything and their mom is trying to be subscription based

#

its damn cringe

hoary zodiac
#

they better be renting out epyc pcs for $200 per month

elfin mural
#

bahaha

#

$50 a month for 3050 pc

#

with 12400f

#

what kinda sick joke is this

hoary zodiac
#

half a year and you can literally get a used pc with the same specs

#

or better

rancid juniper
elfin mural
#

better tbh

#

you're gonna end up with $600

hoary zodiac
#

oops

elfin mural
#

you can literally

hoary zodiac
#

I could literally get a haswell xeon crapbox and a 1080ti

elfin mural
#

get an rx 6600 pc

#

with brand new parts

#

or in the future arc b570

you don't own anything, and you WILL be happy

at least geforce now made more sense

mortal grail
#

Every 5 minutes I make through this the program gets so much worse

#

It's actually criminally predatory crap

elfin mural
#

GFN makes sense cuz it's not so damn expensive

gilded kraken
#

holy snap, 1 hour vid

hoary zodiac
#

also you can use GFN anywhere

mortal grail
#

@hoary zodiac if that program existed here on the same terms they'd be taken to court for millions

hoary zodiac
#

if you have good internet

elfin mural
#

But nzxt flex is criminally bad

rancid juniper
#

i legit dont understand why you would "rent" a pc build

elfin mural
hoary zodiac
#

it's literally cheaper to rent a DSLR

elfin mural
#

you can use gfn ultimate and get what

#

4080 perf?

rancid juniper
#

this makes geforce now/amazon luna look like the greatest subscription service ever

elfin mural
#

max graphics

#

for way less money

mortal grail
#

THE RETURN PROCESS IS INSANE

rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

you could probably rent a vps with a dgpu for less

rancid juniper
#

lol yea

mortal grail
#

If you throw out the original box, you will be charged for a replacement box fee

elfin mural
#

LMAO

mortal grail
#

You throw any packaging out

#

ANY OF IT

elfin mural
#

that's insane

mortal grail
#

YOU WILL BE CHARGED

elfin mural
#

beyond comprehension

rancid juniper
#

wow

elfin mural
#

now i know to NOT support nzxt more than ever

mortal grail
#

You ripped open the plastic bag? That'll be $3 for a new "nzxt plastic bag" please

elfin mural
#

i will advocate against nzxt for this practice

#

hell no

mortal grail
#

Yeah nzxt is done with me now

#

This is insane

rancid juniper
#

tbh im glad i never purchased any NZXT product ever, this further solidifies that stance

hoary zodiac
#

we should collectively stop recommending NZXT anything even if it's cheaper or actually good (lol)

mortal grail
#

I liked their PSUs but I hate this

elfin mural
#

yep

#

let em go bankrupt if they don't stop

elfin mural
#

either stop, or get sued, or go bankrupt

mortal grail
#

We can't take it to anything server wide though with this, just keep it personal guys

elfin mural
#

are the ways to convince me to see nzxt as a choice again

hoary zodiac
#

yeah

elfin mural
#

yeah

mortal grail
#

We must be fair

hoary zodiac
#

to be fair nzxt products are already so bad in value they don't get recommended anyways

elfin mural
#

only good things are the psus

#

when on sale

mortal grail
elfin mural
#

i had someone say they melted asus tufs

hoary zodiac
#

psus are fine tbh

elfin mural
#

i think that was an insane analogy

#

we were talking about laptops

hoary zodiac
#

better a good psu than a bad psu

elfin mural
#

and they're recommending people to buy i9 laptops because

#

"cores good for rendering"

hoary zodiac
#

hotbox

elfin mural
#

paying

#

$1800+ on a laptop doesn't make any sense

hoary zodiac
elfin mural
#

unless it's a rugged high performance lappy

#

otherwise no

hoary zodiac
#

"yeah our cpu has a lot of cores, it's clearly better, don't look at the i5 2500k which destroys our entire product lineup"

elfin mural
#

i should've pulled up benchmarks

#

"intel always drew less power than amd at the same performance in desktops"

hoary zodiac
#

I don't get going more than i7/R7 and 3070 on mobile

elfin mural
#

how badly i needed the benches

hoary zodiac
#

at that point it defeats the point of a laptop

#

and also the form factor becomes a limit

elfin mural
#

intel already spams cores in their cpus since 12th gen anyway

#

so going above i7 makes no sense

hoary zodiac
#

unless it's "ryzen 9" with 8 cores

elfin mural
#

they also ignore the fact that

#

certain i9 laptops are slower than i7 inside similarly priced laptops

#

all because of tdp

hoary zodiac
#

I think that's everything on the high end laptop scale

elfin mural
#

"more cores still better"

hoary zodiac
#

there's a point where the cpu and gpu gets crippled by thermals and power limit

#

and then you're spending 2-3K on barely better performance than a 1.5K laptop

elfin mural
#

the most i've seen a laptop gpu allowed to draw is what

#

170 watts

#

anymore is too much heat

hoary zodiac
#

unless it's a macbook

elfin mural
#

cuz the cpus are like already doing 80w

#

or so

hoary zodiac
#

macbooks are the only laptops with any right to cost that much

#

M4 💪

elfin mural
#

you hit the ceiling of laptop perf (windows) at xx70 nvidia gpu and i7/r7 for cpu

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder if it's better to get a macbook as a portable workstation these days

elfin mural
#

anything more just get a desktop

hoary zodiac
#

than a fully decked out nvidia + intel laptop

elfin mural
#

or a macbook

#

cuz dem arm socs aren't to be joked about

#

also apple finally stopped selling 8gb macs

#

no more base mbp having 8gb

#

even macbook airs start at 16

hoary zodiac
#

based

#

when apple actually listens to consumers

elfin mural
#

ironic tho

hoary zodiac
#

amd take notes

elfin mural
#

apple used to defend for 8gb

#

i guess they turned around a year later

hoary zodiac
#

they probably figured out that it's cheaper to put more ram in macbooks than to spend money on the PR team defending 8gb

elfin mural
#

makes sense

hoary zodiac
#

it's a uphill battle so

elfin mural
#

plus more customer satisfaction

hoary zodiac
#

yeah

elfin mural
#

so a no brainer

hoary zodiac
#

especially considering they're a prosumer platform

elfin mural
#

makes it

#

much easier to buy

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder how the M4 compares to i9 laptops in cpu encoding

elfin mural
#

it demolishes those i9 laptops

#

raw cpu perf

hoary zodiac
#

damn

#

how much is a mac mini

#

$999 AUD

elfin mural
#

$600 apparently

hoary zodiac
#

that's not even expensive for a cheap workstation

elfin mural
#

$600 usd

hoary zodiac
#

budget workstation fr

#

you know something's wrong with the tech industry when apple is presenting an appealing value compared to intel and amd's offerings

elfin mural
#

16/256

#

storage is low but

#

$200 more gets you 512

hoary zodiac
#

eh you can just get a nas tbh

#

can you use custom ssds?

elfin mural
#

not yet no

#

there's a slot

#

but proprietary

hoary zodiac
#

looks like nas's the better option here

#

for a professional use case

elfin mural
#

or

#

external ssd

#

still more economically viable

hoary zodiac
#

hmm

elfin mural
#

nas or external ssds are the way

hoary zodiac
#

thunderbolt + pcie ssd dock

#

that's still like

#

~1K

#

cheaper than a gaming pc tbh

#

considering what it could do

#

not bad

elfin mural
#

it can still game too

#

and very well

#

just not much support

hoary zodiac
#

yeah steam proton's more on the linux x86 side of things

#

when we get an arm steam deck that's when the real fun begins

nocturne flicker
elfin mural
#

one stupid thing is

#

the mac mini's power button is on the bottom

hoary zodiac
elfin mural
#

you have to flip the thing to use the button

hoary zodiac
#

if you're in a professional setting it's probably not too bad

rancid juniper
#

man i wish dxvk was good on windows

#

most games lose performance with that vulkan wrapper (dx11-dx12) lol

opaque sedge
#

So if valve just recently released the deck to Australia and even came out an said there’s a lack of hardware to make a sizable difference in performance… the steam deck 2 is very far into the future…

hoary zodiac
#

understandable

hoary zodiac
#

it's a pretty small form factor

rancid juniper
#

dunno about the new one

elfin mural
#

not gonna lie

#

if apple offered 16gb in 2023 for m2 mba

#

i would've become a mac user

opaque sedge
rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

I use arch so

#

no mac for me

opaque sedge
#

But people did mod the 2018 gow to use vulkan i believe

elfin mural
#

almost all i play is roblox

rancid juniper
#

oh i thought the game was optimized

elfin mural
#

it doesn't matter to me

misty sparrow
opaque sedge
rancid juniper
#

oh

velvet summit
elfin mural
#

and if i do decide to sell it

#

it would retain value

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder how mac minis competes with intel nucs and other mini pcs

elfin mural
#

coz apple tax

hoary zodiac
#

$699 is pretty competitive

elfin mural
#

don't even talk about comparing them

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

but ofc

nocturne flicker
#

Didn't Intel discontinue the NUC?

elfin mural
#

windows has more software compatibility

hoary zodiac
#

back in 2020 I wouldn't have put "apple" and "competitive" together

elfin mural
opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

so yeah

#

sorta

opaque sedge
#

Now it just feels kinda late

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder if intel has an non-compete agreement with apple

elfin mural
#

the idea of a more than fast enough for roblox fanless laptop is nice to me

#

but 8gb ram back then threw me off

nocturne flicker
#

Why? Their very existence means they will have to compete is some form

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

are the M chips still hybrid architecture cpus?

opaque sedge
opaque sedge
#

16 gigs was the minimum for good performance i believe for the m series

elfin mural
#

that's because of the lack of vram

#

unified memory

#

16gb becomes important

#

less is problematic

velvet summit
#

if you bought it at release, you would have had not very polished OS bundled

#

now if you buy it you'll get a pretty well polished OS without the early adopter pains

Not to be that guy, but offering stuff for rent and it being criminally bad towards consumers is the standard for the renting business, not unique to NZXT. It is bad, should be heavily cracked down on and NZXT bad for doing it, but anybody entering the rental business is going to do it

hoary zodiac

there's stuff that makes sense for rent
