IMAGINE

[hoary zodiac]

you can buy a real monkey

[fresh timber]

you answered ur question for you, lunatics

[nocturne flicker]

Gold is largely a speculative asset that has actual applications in industrial processes. NFTs are that with anything useful removed

[hoary zodiac]

you can literally buy a real monkey...

Price goes up or down because sentiment is good or bad. The recent spike on the graph at the end is because of uncertainty relating to the US economic policies going forward

The Mali golden age ended in something like 1340 and had been slowly picked away until the 1600s or so. Jolof peaked in the 1450s after gradually breaking away from being a vassal of Mali over the previois century if I remember my history.

Hmm

Where is this light coming from exactly

Is it an indicator on the case, or is it somewhere inside the pc

[fading sage]

Ontop of the case

[velvet summit]

Does it have a symbol? Like 3 short and wide cylinders stacked on top of each other

[misty sparrow]

underrated movie

i think in that one though, both were poisoned

not sure though

[fading sage]

can i dm u the picture

[velvet summit]

Sure

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc it was that both were poisoned but the protag was immune?

I think?

[storm narwhal]

Why won't you DIE?

[misty sparrow]

I thought the protag just didn't swallow the drink

at least that was my assumption

French fries are pretty easy to make at home

[opaque sedge]

Altho it can be time consuming

[hoary zodiac]

not at all

[opaque sedge]

Air fryer fries are nice too

[hoary zodiac]

you don't even have to peel the skin

you just have to soak it in water for a couple minutes then air fry them for 15-20 mins

it's actually stupid easy

I always make my own when possible

[sage sluice]

Nah the dirt adds flavor ong

Keeping a canola oil, peanut oil etc at a steady boil in a pan is also a good way to whip up some fries with a bit more prep time, that was a popular choice for snacks in my culinary classes

It's really easy to overheat the oil tho so not really something you can walk away from

[hoary zodiac]

I prefer the air fryer tbh

less grease

[sage sluice]

True but im saying for people without airfryers

Id use mine anyday before a lot of things

[hoary zodiac]

how much oil do you need?

I'd imagine it'd be more cost effective over time to get an air fryer

[sage sluice]

Just enough to submerge the fries a good bit, you dont want to overfill

[sage sluice]

Oh of course

If you cook often an air fryer is way superior

[nocturne flicker]

MinMaxing cooking expenses

[sage sluice]

But more people have oil and a pan than air fryers (more people should invest in air fryers tbh theyre so fricken lovely)

cooking expense is the biggest expense for me

or just when i beat the game and play it again

I've been meaning to ask for help from someone with my OLED, but I keep powering through the nuisance and ignoring it. Also don't know where to ask

I have a video of it although it's hard to see, but essentially the blacks and greys areas of the screen have a kind of effect to them. It kind of looks like taking a video of a monitor with out of sync monitor refresh and frame capture. The dark areas of the screen have this rainbow pixel effect to them.

[velvet summit]

Huh???

Wdym by upward bend

Like not screwing in the m.2? So that it doesn't sit flat?

Or somehow making the PCB bow out???

[craggy shoal]

That means either the M.2 male (SSD side) is broken or the M.2 female connector is broken

sadly I can't find disassembly video to see if I can easily fix it or not lol

[remote geode]

it probably was

[mortal grail]

It's pretty underwhelming for my situation lol

[cedar compass]

white strix 5090 wen

[atomic mist]

oled gang

[mortal grail]

I don't even have a guaranteed baseline increase on new gen

[cedar compass]

I got 3 faulty oled monitor so far lol

[mortal grail]

It's just so much worse perf/$ for me with mfg out of the equation

And if I can use lossless scaling anyway

[cedar compass]

something trying to say me "stick with your miniled g9"

[tranquil pebble]

nope nevermind, the screen was damaged during shipping

[mortal grail]

Rip

[atomic mist]

howd u manage to get 3 faulty oleds

[remote geode]

aaaa I want a B580 so badly

[atomic mist]

rip joker

[tranquil pebble]

its only 1

[atomic mist]

warpig got 3

[cedar compass]

g9 oled first , it was very early oled so it was flickering badly . then coolermaster one with weird color shade , whites were purple at lower bottom somehow . and now philips envia with fan that sounds like combustion engine inside

[mortal grail]

Had to correct this

[atomic mist]

[mortal grail]

I'm really let down by 50 series lol

[cedar compass]

I could fix fan issue if I could find disassembly video but theres none on youtube

[mortal grail]

4090 finally looking way too good

[mortal grail]

If it's designed to ramp up when the screen gets hot then you might be SOL

Like PSU's, changing the fan might ruin the cooling performance

And yes, that's even if the fan is better

[cedar compass]

fan speed isn't the issue but fan having ticking noise I think fan is faulty or hitting to something inside

may be toucking some cables

[mortal grail]

Ah

Or the motor is ticking yeah

Fair enough

If you know what to buy then fair enough

[cedar compass]

it have led lights on back panel so I afraid I may brake cables when I try to open it up. some youtube video might be handy

stil I probably gonna try to fix it at weekend instead return it lol

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't know

Given the way samsung are, it's probably held on with clips at the back

[rough zinc]

Samsung qled

[cedar compass]

yeah popular monitors usually have repair videos at youtube so you can watch but this one doesn't will see what I can do lol . I might just unplug the fan leave it alone

[cedar compass]

G9 gang here

one of best monitors around . it's colors are more accurate than regular ips monitors

[mortal grail]

Just trying to recall what I remember about the back

It's a smooth finish

So probably plastic clips

Which would be a nightmare to open

You want a flat surface but it's not flat

Maybe you're lucky and it's screws under the LED ring cover

[fresh timber]

I need a new power bank

Mines buggin out

Mf won’t charge my phone

I keep going from 6% to 8%

[cedar compass]

Yeah I see few screws around io panel but rest of them are plastic clips

[cedar compass]

Once I had charger that lowering my battery I was charging whole electric line

[fresh timber]

My bank has power

Idk the issue

[elfin mural]

Phones in general are boring

I see no point in upgrading to anything

[worthy tapir]

[dusk knot]

My Google Pixel 6 pro will stay with me still it dies

[dusk knot]

[elfin mural]

google apparently pulled an apple with a bad pixel 4a update

"battery optimization"

aka slowing the phone down and increasing batt drain

[lone mango]

[worn wave]

Slowing it down I can see but increasing drain?

[lone mango]

Red gaming suspects amd is launching rdna 4 in march because that is when the 5070 is coming out

[elfin mural]

i wonder what will the actual pricing be

for both radeon and nvidia

cuz tariffs

[nocturne flicker]

9070xt 999.99 not including s/h

[sweet phoenix]

WHAT

[nocturne flicker]

Joke

[sweet phoenix]

Oh lmao

[elfin mural]

if it costs 1k imma die inside

[worn wave]

inb4 they each keep waiting for the other one to announce prices before they announce their own prices but that results in the cards never launching

[lone mango]

Its gonna be 480-530

[elfin mural]

wow samsung is heavily advertising privacy in this launch

lmao

(all marketing speech)

[nocturne flicker]

We respect your privacy, which is why we tell you we'll be stealing and selling your data

[elfin mural]

it's basically telling me that it's collecting and aggregating MORE data

so it can be sold

very nice

[nocturne flicker]

Remember, it's not Big Brother if it is a company 😊

[velvet summit]

Phones only need an upgrade like every 6 years
Maybe 1 battery replacement

We watched you while you were sleeping. Here is your heart rate data 😐

[mortal grail]

"Ooo...not looking good"

[proud jackal]

Guess I'll keep my s24u

but that's standard for S25 series

hering an executive say "discover memes" feels so odd to me

[nocturne flicker]

Discover them dank memes my fellow webernetizens amirite?

[fresh timber]

will the s25 run tiktok videos better than the s24

essentially clippy lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Clippy but everytime you make a spelling mistake in a text he throws heavy slurs at you

[elfin mural]

great

gemini advanced is 6 months trial

[gleaming rivet]

lol

paywall much?

[fresh timber]

they gotta pay for the ai servers somehow

[elfin mural]

ai features i won't use

at least most of it is free

[gleaming rivet]

I can't tell if this dudes eyes are open or not. -.-

[velvet summit]

[fresh timber]

i mean it doesnt affect how u use ur phone anyways

[elfin mural]

it's just extra bloat

that's the issue

[gleaming rivet]

I like the idea of talking to the AI.. I'm in my pickup a lot so I could see it keeping me entertained on my long drives to and from work lol

[elfin mural]

the demo showed it giving tips about taking pics

[gleaming rivet]

aye. I'm watching

[elfin mural]

oke

oooo

ai gen watermark

[gleaming rivet]

I liked the part he said about data being deleted shortly after and not being used for marketing and such

[elfin mural]

we have enough ai slop in this world, being able to identify it more easily is better

New SoC has FG

[elfin mural]

AI-based processing..

okay

FG then

samsung is calling it proscaler

[nocturne flicker]

I need framegen on my phone so I can generate more frames while watching my YouTube videos

[elfin mural]

40% more rt perf

rt on my phone so i can burn my phone

[mortal grail]

Ray trace my ps2 looking mobile games so I get Cyberpunk reflections at 5 fps

[elfin mural]

samsung is loving 40% rn

40% more rt, 40% more display clarity, 40% larger vapor chamber

[nocturne flicker]

40% more sales price

[gleaming rivet]

oo 31 hours of videos

[velvet summit]

probably would be easily bypassed though lmao

or somebody would find a way

[proud jackal]

Is 5090 out yet

[elfin mural]

rounded corners

more like copying apple

[proud jackal]

So much post processing

Did you blink, let me fix that

[velvet summit]

every masterpiece (windows 11) has its cheap copy (samsung)

[proud jackal]

[elfin mural]

ultra processed images

they do support raw mode tho so that's not bad

[rancid juniper]

JunkGPU

ultra processed frames

[dusk knot]

5090 reviews tomorrow….

[proud jackal]

The lack of stock at release is going to make me angry

[dusk knot]

It will

But you’ll land one eventually

[rancid juniper]

finally

[dusk knot]

Soo much excitement for a card most of us will never get

The 5080 is going to disappoint soo hard

[elfin mural]

4x mfg!!

[proud jackal]

Maybe I'll skip

[rough zinc]

4090 still where it's at

[gleaming rivet]

How come?

[dusk knot]

The gap between the 5090 and how it’s only 15 percent better than the 4080 without all the new software

[rigid sinew]

good morning

[opaque sedge]

Picanha picanha i love me some picanha

[lone mango]

Well a 4080 is around 75 to 80% of a 4090 so maybe the 5080 might actually be 4090 perf in some games and around it in others

[rigid sinew]

loooks soo good but also wrong chat #food-and-drinks

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

Gm, naht

[proud jackal]

The packs of picanha at Costco lately have been so bad

[rigid sinew]

good morning jp !!

[opaque sedge]

I actually got lucky at mine

[dusk knot]

It needs to exceed the 4090…

[opaque sedge]

Lots of meat and an even fat cap

[proud jackal]

The ones I saw were mostly fat cap

[dusk knot]

Are the fires over? I haven’t been covering the news

[lone mango]

Well this is a refresh so it prob won’t

[opaque sedge]

Oof costco butcher’s are hit or miss sometimes

[lone mango]

Stop mourning and play older games

[dusk knot]

Smh

[lone mango]

[proud jackal]

Ikr

I just went with the usual ribeye

[lone mango]

Playing new games is wasteful because these new games are made with the intention of you upgrading

There are many older games that are good

[rigid sinew]

They’re still running just not as bad

[proud jackal]

Might visit the Costco business center once I get through this pack for the pin

[opaque sedge]

Like its like either super clean high class butcher shop cuts sometimes or the most raggedy violated cuts of meat

[proud jackal]

Yea

[opaque sedge]

Man i haven’t had a ribeye in so long

[proud jackal]

Picanha*

[proud jackal]

It's an okay cut

[dusk knot]

Ok

[proud jackal]

I like it better than strip

Damn

The cheapest used OLED is now about the same price as a new in box Xiaomi mini-LED IPS

Sadly it is 1st gen WOLED iirc

[dusk knot]

It’s just a little bit dim

Still worth it

[devout forum]

27GR95QE-B

It's the one IIRC that's like
Kinda crap

And not like dim
More like inverse ghosting

[dusk knot]

False

I have the monitor

[devout forum]

Oh nevermind I'm not taking a risk on this guy

[dusk knot]

LGs new tech will save us

[devout forum]

Huh

[dusk knot]

It will be brighter

[devout forum]

So it turns out

[dusk knot]

And have stronger contrast

🙏

[devout forum]

A brand new AOC 1440p 240hz QD-OLED is only 10% more than the cheapest already used WOLED that no longer has warranty on it and comes in dubious condition

[dusk knot]

Hm

[devout forum]

I think I'd rather save up and get a new in box QD-OLED than to take a risk with a dubious seller's claims on a monitor that's not under any warranty

[dusk knot]

I agree

You can’t trust people

[devout forum]

That panel does NOT look okay to me

Corners look SIGNIFICANTLY dimmer

[dusk knot]

It’s a picture

It’s missing information

[devout forum]

Ah

Sorry I am
A little freaking out cuz like

Even a used OLED is a literal month's salary for me

I just can't afford to cook the purchase

[dusk knot]

It’s low res and dark. It’s not clear enough to see any abnormalities

Also cameras are not accurate

[devout forum]

The only other image is like a glam shot

Bunch of super high-contrast edges

[dusk knot]

Don’t buy it

[devout forum]

This and that other one are the only images he put up

[dusk knot]

Can’t really tell

You’ll have to get close to see any image retention, but it’s an LG. MOSTLY LIKELY there won’t be any

[devout forum]

"Monitor was used at 70% brightness and the most aggressive, level 4 "Screen move" setting, completely free of any burn in. Warranty has expired but I could provide a week of tryout time"

He is paying to get the ad promoted
26 positive ratings from an unknown number of sales

Then again
The price difference is so small

[dusk knot]

I blast mine at 100 percent lol

I have everything on

[devout forum]

Like it's 15% or so from a brand new 3rd gen QD-OLED to this used panel of (probably) WOLED tech out of warranty

[dusk knot]

Hmm

Get a new qd-OLED

[devout forum]

Yeah that was my idea as well

It's just too high a risk

Especially for very little savings

I can PROBABLY find a slightly cheaper OLED

But do I want to?

@dusk knot Crap
I misread the price
It's 170k HUF for the used one

Brand new QD-OLED is 260k HUF

So it's actually a big saving

But still a lot of money

At least I get a free calibration with the brand new one

With like proper gear

(both SDR and HDR profiles)

[dusk knot]

On nice…free calibration?

From a professional?

[worn wave]

@devout forum both of those pics are terrible quality, like the photos themselves not the monitor necessarily

I wouldn't use them to judge the panel

[mortal grail]

That's not crap

Like half the good oled's are this panel

What

[mortal grail]

That's also likely the camera sensor

Not the screen

[worn wave]

and hella compression lmao

[mortal grail]

QE-B is in many of the OLED's we suggest

One of which includes the KTC which is a personal favourite

[mortal grail]

That's definitely camera

💀

[worn wave]

yeah

either that or it's a 40p display

[north crescent]

Too many variables, but cant just say that tbh
Display can easily have poor uniformity, which is then exaggerated by environment lighting/sensor, then blocked out by image compression

That said, the visual uniformity issue here can also just entirely be environment lighting, or angle of sensor to panel

[worn wave]

of the seller is offering a 1 week 'trial' im sure they'd be willing to send better photos or let you look at it in-person

[north crescent]

Also a reminder that panel doesnt mean everything #building-and-recc-chat message

Combined with what I mentioned in that older message, other firmware things like image retention reduction stuff can also be a display by display thing

[mortal grail]

QE-B set the bar for good oled

I agree with that but also, QE-B is just good lol

[mortal grail]

You could be right in this sense, however that glow is definitely a camera sensor quirk lol

[proud jackal]

Nothing to clean

I kinda want

[rancid juniper]

wow, thats garbage

[misty sparrow]

why is this $700 more than the FE

[rancid juniper]

right?

[misty sparrow]

does it come with some hidden stuff in there?

does the money get melted down into a chip that automatically renders frames in 4K detail?

or is it just "oooh shiny colors and lighting wooooo"

[dusk knot]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

[frigid stag]

At least rog strix will be cheaper

[worn wave]

Possibly hot take: the land tiles look really meh without the artwork on them

[misty sparrow]

hear me out

[frigid stag]

Strix is usually like 300 to 400 more, now there’s even higher

[misty sparrow]

FE > any other manufacturer nowadays

[rancid juniper]

now on BHP's site it doesn't list the price but still

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1872329-REG/asus_rog_astral_rtx5080_o16g_gaming_republic_of_gamers_astral.html

[worn wave]

Like it's just a piece of resin with glitter and a decal/inlay

Oh maybe they're gonna offer multiple tile options

[dusk knot]

Very sad.

[misty sparrow]

i wonder why other variations of the same graphics card cost hundreds more than FE sometimes

is it the lighting or do they improve on certain aspects

[weak cedar]

O ya it does

[rancid juniper]

average novideo aib tax

AMD is no better this gen

literally got me fuming

intel sleeping as usual

[worn wave]

On futher reading it seems like those might be a placeholder or one of multiple options so I guess we'll see.

[sweet phoenix]

To prey on the unintelligent

And people who like wasting money

[rancid juniper]

more fans + rgb = better

[worn wave]

B-b-but they factory overclock it for you by 100mhz!

Surely that will get me $700 worth of frames

[frigid stag]

It’s ironic cause fe cards have best bins on 40 series

[dusk knot]

Just bunkers

[misty sparrow]

pretty colors get people a lot

i like FE the most because they cut all that RGB out

the only thing that lights up is the logo on the GPU that's it

[frigid stag]

Ye no there’s more

Well depends on which gpu u have

30 series have rgb near the fans on the bottom

[mortal grail]

+suprim+hof

[frigid stag]

Didn’t know about suprim

[mortal grail]

Only those 3 tho

[frigid stag]

Strix should be pretty good too

[mortal grail]

Ye, at least the early ones were all binned high

[frigid stag]

And matrix

[mortal grail]

No

[mortal grail]

You'd think so but

💀

Strix had a great pcb

[frigid stag]

💀

[mortal grail]

No binning

Matrix

Copied that pcb

[frigid stag]

60 more fps on the matrix in doom eternal 💀

[mortal grail]

No binning again

You know what the matrix is

An aio strix with lm

[frigid stag]

3k is insane

[mortal grail]

If you want overpriced actual binning, HoF

[frigid stag]

Can’t even buy it

[mortal grail]

And suprim was largely well binned on the whole

Most of all cards I saw in the wild did near or above 3K core

[frigid stag]

Found a new hof gtx 760 new left over in a store a while ago tho 💀

Didn’t buy it cause they wanted like 160 for it

2gb gpu from 2011

[mortal grail]

HoF's are collector cards

[dusk knot]

@proud jackal $2800 for the astral 5090.....

[mortal grail]

760 is not worth 160 tho

Never a shot

[frigid stag]

I tried looking on eBay but nothing so figured it wasn’t worth it

[mortal grail]

Hah, wonder how much they cost here when that's the base price in AU (apparently)

[misty sparrow]

i'm pretty sure you can make an entire build containing a 5080 for the price of that one GPU

[mortal grail]

It's like people and EVGA, like "Cool" but also 30 billion EVGA samples exist for all but 2 products (x670e & 4090)

Some way overestimate the value

[dusk knot]

You're dead

[frigid stag]

Well ye it’s barely any old for gpu’s

[frigid stag]

Z790s from evga are expensive still

[dusk knot]

Smh

[rancid juniper]

dont care about premium binned parts

[mortal grail]

Imagine paying what'll probably be near $4000 for a binned 5090 when I paid near $1750 for a binned 4090 2 years ago

[rancid juniper]

over expensive items

[mortal grail]

AU is messed up

[misty sparrow]

binned?

[rancid juniper]

bin

[misty sparrow]

bi

[mortal grail]

Suprim is binned ye

[rancid juniper]

Highest quality silicon for max overclocking/undervolting/overvolting

[misty sparrow]

oh

most people 100% arent gonna do any of those tbh

[mortal grail]

The only disadvantage the suprim has was volt modding was more painful vs other cards

The strix had a direct point

HoF had a unlock tool

[rancid juniper]

majority of gamers are around midrange low end cards

6 core cpus is the norm i think

[dusk knot]

😭😭

[mortal grail]

I'm so turned off by prices here lmao

[frigid stag]

It’s funny cause majority of them are probably early ryzen

Like 1600x’s

[mortal grail]

If I got one day 1 I could probably buy the plane ticket to get there

Over in the us

[rancid juniper]

lol yea

[rancid juniper]

anything tech related not in the U.S is gonna have a bad time with prices

😔

[tranquil pebble]

rip to cheap Chinese ARM SoCs

[worn wave]

I'd bet there's a lot of 5600s and 3600s as well

[ancient swift]

Should also remember internet cafes exist and create a bias in the steam hardware survey in Japan and Korea

And Hong Kong I think

[fresh timber]

anybody got powerbank suggestions

[worn wave]

I vaguely remember there was one steam hardware survey where 3060s spiked like crazy cause they polled more internet cafes than normal or something

[fresh timber]

3060s most popular frfr

u would think they would optmise games to work around the most popular

[worn wave]

but even without that, the majority of gamers are on mid-low end cards

[rancid juniper]

that is true, but i still believe the majority uses Low-midrange cards

[worn wave]

also gotta remember that this server is not an accurate sample

[rancid juniper]

not that many people are getting flagship cards as they did years ago

[dusk knot]

Organ selling time.

[rancid juniper]

for sure

[worn wave]

Look at AMD on the most recent steam hardware survey lol

[misty sparrow]

i'm guessing the one that says "AMD Radeon Graphics" is integrated graphics right?

[worn wave]

yeah

[misty sparrow]

wait

there's two of them on there

[worn wave]

yeah both integrated

[misty sparrow]

there's "AMD Radeon Graphics" and "AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics"

[worn wave]

those together is 3.1% whihc is pretty high tbh

wait i was looking at wrong month

4.62% for those 2 added

[fresh timber]

https://a.co/d/hUeeKA1 i found this

[worn wave]

which is less than the 6600, 580, 6700xt, 5700xt, and gimped 580 combined

[fresh timber]

i woudlnt be suprised if the amd apus start taking over steam

handhelds and laptops are good

[fresh timber]

i dont be trsuting the returend thing

i be seeing items get returned alot, then i see them get good reviews by 3rd partys

[worn wave]

I recommend Anker. Good quality, they're more honest about specs, and they have a good warranty

[fresh timber]

u sure it wont die in 6 months like my current one

[worn wave]

I have one from them that I've been using for years

granted I don't use it very often. Any rechargeable will slowly degrade as you use it
