i like eggs

oh wait sorry off topic

[rigid sinew]

i like the eggs that are boiled for ramen

[upper rain]

boiled eggs are the only kind of eggs i don't like

i like ramen with sunnyside up fried eggs

[mental yoke]

deviled eggs… im bout to goto the storep

[upper rain]

eh, not a fan but i'd eat them in a pinch

boiled eggs are just nasty to me. i know i'm in the minority tho

[mental yoke]

i used to slap a carton of boiled eggs down for brekky

everyone loved me

looking back the whole egg ordeal was prolly my fault i eat too many

i like this poor tag

server tag reads: ban

[dusk knot]

Yes

So annoyinggg

[royal crow]

Yeah

[arctic lily]

I got a new Xbox 360 coming in

This one has faulty system storage and can’t update

meaning it can’t connect to internet to do anything and can’t use Kinect

Gonna have an E and now an S model too

[nocturne flicker]

But only when they are made using New Eggs right?

[mental yoke]

i have a gow special edition for some older games

Let's get a meat ranking - my #1 choice is Ribeye

[arctic lily]

Porterhouse

[proud jackal]

Who are you

[upper rain]

i'm partial to a ny strip myself

[worthy meteor]

If price isn't an issue, filet mignon :p

[upper rain]

honestly don't get the hype for filet. it's a nice cut but not really my thing most of the time

i used to have very expensive taste in food but as i've gotten better at cooking i've started to prefer quality of ingredients over quality of recipe 8 times out of 10

[worthy meteor]

I still feel like filet mignon ends up being like a better ribeye

[upper rain]

you might be right. i guess i understand from that perspective

[worthy meteor]

But I suck at making either of them personally so it's more dependent on restaurant quality for me

[upper rain]

ah true haha

i mainly cook fish and poultry for myself. don't have much practice with cuts of steak

[mental yoke]

brisket slaps

[nocturne flicker]

I like the cheapest thing I can get that has a decent texture and tastes good enough when seasoned

[worthy meteor]

I have an incredible skill of either undercooking or overcooking steak, there's no in-between

[mental yoke]

good brisket just need a fork

[worthy meteor]

Usually ends up being chicken lol

[nocturne flicker]

Yup

I've stopped using ground beef period because it has gone up about $2 a lbs when on sale

[worthy meteor]

Although tbf the one place where chicken doesn't really work is ground meat

[nocturne flicker]

It is fine

[mental yoke]

ground turkey

[worthy meteor]

Ground pork and ground beef work much better

[nocturne flicker]

I use ground chicken for tacos

[worthy meteor]

I mean pulled chicken or shredded chicken work well but grounding it down further doesn't really work

[mental yoke]

i feel like shredded just does chicken a better job of bringing out any enjoyable tastes

[nocturne flicker]

I don't like pulled or shredded meats

[mental yoke]

pulled pork sammy 😋

[mental yoke]

actually pulled is better*

[worthy meteor]

I don't really find any redeeming qualities for ground chicken lol

It's missing fat to do what you can usually do with ground pork and beef

[nocturne flicker]

It doesn't need to. It is cheap protein

[worthy meteor]

Fair

I'd just end up using ground pork over ground chicken if I'm using any ground meat

[mental yoke]

chicken a lil healthier

[nocturne flicker]

When the chicken is half the price of the beef and you are making something where the flavor of the meat is not that important, chicken is fine

[worthy meteor]

Missing the fat to make it taste good in those situations smh

[mental yoke]

chicken fat nasty

[worthy meteor]

Yea you can just season chicken to make it work in a lot of situations, but I don't think seasoning can redeem ground chicken

[nocturne flicker]

K

[mental yoke]

season it in beef flavor

[worthy meteor]

Too funky for me

[upper rain]

turkey works alright as a leaner ground beef substitute. i add a little olive oil to make up for some of the lost fat, which admittedly somewhat defeats the purpose but still probably heathier

[nocturne flicker]

Just add an oil and some sort of stock/broth and it is fine

[worthy meteor]

Yea that would probably be a bit more healthy, I generally would use less fatty ground beef anyways

[nocturne flicker]

I've also taken to throwing in some tvp with the chicken to stretch it further

[upper rain]

i'm not sure what the fat breakdown is between turkey and beef, but i assume even leaner ground beef is probably fattier. poultry is traditionally very lean

[worthy meteor]

Yea, I believe I usually use 13% fat ground beef, poultry should end up being single digits

[idle nexus]

has anyone noticed YouTube being more aggressive about adblockers or is it just me? lol

[royal crow]

Ublock origin and forget about it

[idle nexus]

uBlockOrigin didn't seem to be working until I manually set DNS

I'm using Microsoft Edge

which yes, is easy to criticize, but I'll take it over Chrome any day

[upper rain]

i might haha

will take a look, ty man

[idle nexus]

np. It works fine for 4k@144hz at least lol

[pliant berry]

they have just gotten way more aggressive with ads in general

it is really becoming unusuable without adblock now

[upper rain]

yeah

i usually play podcasts and documentaries while falling asleep and lately it's become more trouble than it's worth. i can't fall asleep if i skip loud obnoxious ads every five minutes, instead of skipping one or two and then getting 15 minutes to conk out

considering switching to an android so that i don't have to deal with it anymore. afaik no way to adblock on ios

[pliant berry]

for those purposes I usually predownload

The first 4 episodes of Andor season two: a bit slow

[pliant berry]

ye the beginning is a bit on the slower side, not unlike the first season

[dusk knot]

At least it's not trash like a majority of what's made by Dave Foloni

Still.....not as appealing as the movies visually

Not star wars enough for me

[pliant berry]

Hm

World war 2 in space so far :/

[upper wedge]

Not 100% if this is active on your laptop, but try and possibly turn off the iGpu?

igpu is barely active

I'd prefer to keep it on hybrid mode

then there was a 4070ti super for 579.99

We don’t know much about her

She’s either missing or dead

Due to the song that plays here being called “find her.ogg”

I don’t know why the game slowed down

[sinful blade]

The fight

[hoary zodiac]

Based

[sinful blade]

I never finished undertale because I kept trying true pacifist and couldn’t

[hoary zodiac]

Don't take that out of context

[sinful blade]

I got like 1/3 of the way

[elfin mural]

i can't do full pacifist

too difficult

[hoary zodiac]

Huh

It's easier than fighting sans

[elfin mural]

i never even got to sans

[hoary zodiac]

Oh

Bruh

[elfin mural]

in pacifist route that is

[topaz crown]

Nickname set.

[elfin mural]

genocide? KILL

[hoary zodiac]

I'm probably gonna do a fresh Deltarune run

To get all the secrets for a pacifist run

[dense locust]

Their attacks are stupid

Some of them 1 shot too

[elfin mural]

imma replay undertale

[elfin mural]

that makes me sweat

[dense locust]

Genocide has some of the best music and some of the most difficult bosses

Deltarune has more of physiological horror route than a genocide route

[frigid stag]

the first half of that sentence is wild to read

[dense locust]

At least the attacks aren’t randomized

Imagine a fight like sans with random attacks

Actually none of the hard bosses have randomized attacks

The egg rooms are probably the most interesting

So grinding what you need gets you the freshest coffee

[mental yoke]

decaf beans is a sad market sadly but yea

ill just get regular beans sometimes

[pliant berry]

I want to get a coffee grinder

[tranquil pebble]

I dont drink decaf. Fortunately caffeine is ok for me

[pliant berry]

But like a manual one

[mental yoke]

i bought about 6 or 7 like 20-40$ ones and they all suck. if you do decide to, bite the bullet and drop like 150

they should've used car engines

massive blunder

[rancid juniper]

Knowing that they were owned by EA that's highly unlikely now

They forced nearly every dev to use frostbite and nothing else

i sit at a normal distance and the monitor is right infront of me

I like flat monitors because flat is justice

plus they sit well with other monitors in my experience

Apparently valve is having supply chain issues with the steam deck oled meaning they’re out of stock which will ofc interfere with warranty replacements

[pliant berry]

I'm having a lot of issues trying to order electronics as well. I ordered a sensor for my camera rig 2 months ago and still never got an update

[misty sparrow]

On the bright side, somebody on Reddit had their steam deck take longer than the normal estimate to repair and steam support gave them a free game

maybe you can do the same

[opaque sedge]

Nah imma demand a limited edition model of the deck oled or no bueno

Jk

[pliant berry]

why can I not click on my desktop anymore

[misty sparrow]

can you at least do ctrl alt delete

I was playing metro 2033 yesterday and it froze the whole pc

[opaque sedge]

@misty sparrow looks like if valve is unable to replace or fix the deck they also do full refunds

[rancid juniper]

I have been having a lot of issues with windows lately

[rancid juniper]

such as?

[pliant berry]

just a lot of system hangs, fail to wake from sleep, general unresponsiveness

[rancid juniper]

is this 24h2?

[pliant berry]

not sure lemme check, but some issues like crashing in sleep have been happening for at least a year

[rancid juniper]

wild

[pliant berry]

its kind of weird, I've never seen it happen to a pc before

nope looks like im on 23h2

[upper wedge]

That’s happened to me before, where my computer refuses to wake up and display after sleep. Stopped using it

[rancid juniper]

you ever done a clean install upon discovering those issues?

[upper wedge]

I’m on 23h2 too I believe

[pliant berry]

I used to do clean installs every 6 months but I haven't in a while

[upper wedge]

6 hr estimate 😭

[rancid juniper]

maybe try that (after backing up)

[rancid juniper]

could be worse tbh LOL

my previous laptop (i5 1135g7) only lasted like 2hrs

lmfao

sometimes even LESS when browsing which is goofy

[upper wedge]

Batteries are just so bad inside laptops nowadays

[upper rain]

is 6 hours considered bad these days? mine lasted 2 when it was new, these days it's like 45m under load lmao

[upper wedge]

I think that was idle or something, could be wrong

[upper rain]

ah

tbf for my laptop "under load" is anything beyond literally just sitting at idle

everything goes to 100% almost the moment you wiggle a mouse lel

[pliant berry]

and this leads me to why I haven't in a while, I have over 300 apps installed on my pc rn and trying to make sure I have everything from them is going to be death 💀

[upper wedge]

Ya my cousin had this laptop from like 2019, the simple i3 with an iGPU, had to always keep it plugged in otherwise in 20 minutes it’d die 😭

[opaque sedge]

[upper wedge]

@opaque sedge how can I help

Well

[opaque sedge]

Oh not having an issue with my desktop

[pliant berry]

language please

[upper wedge]

Ik, but I work at UPS lmao

like what do you need help with for shipping

Cause if you need a label print out, probably go to Walgreens

They take fedex & probably print it out dirt cheap

[opaque sedge]

Oh icic

But there’s a fedex store near me anyways i could just go there

[rancid juniper]

😂

[opaque sedge]

Just worried abt it being fedex cuz of all the memes i saw during the pandemic…

[rancid juniper]

you got an external drive by any chance?

[upper wedge]

RMA right?

[opaque sedge]

Yup

[upper wedge]

Don’t worry

[rancid juniper]

i cant imagine backing up EVERYTHING on the cloud (my internet is slow asf)

[pliant berry]

I have nas and 4 internal drives

[rancid juniper]

🤔

can you back it up through nas?

[upper wedge]

I mean if you want to send it back as is, like no box, then ya I’d be worried, if you sent it back in how it came, just the box and its mold, that’s alright. They’ll fix it anyways plus it’s likely covered under warranty @opaque sedge

If you want to pack it though, upto you.

[pliant berry]

tbh most documents I don't keep on c drive. but it's trying to figure out which applications strictly keep config data in program files and what I need to rip out

[upper wedge]

Verizon has us send back phones , iPhones or Samsung just in a 6 inch cube with no packing

All because customers are doing trade ups.

[rancid juniper]

thats a chore...

[opaque sedge]

Icic i have the original packaging and also the carrying case it came with so should be fine then

[upper wedge]

I had to send back my Intel CPU to the UPS hub in Kentucky where I guess Intel also resides close to, they told me just to send it in the box with the cardboard insert

[upper wedge]

Don’t make the mistake of sending the carrying case with it

When you RMA, they send you an approved fixed item or a brand new one.

[pliant berry]

yeah it really is. I had one app that had basically no public information on where to find the data so I literally spent an hour watching through process monitor trying to find what file directory the app called back to lmao

[upper wedge]

Either way as long as the box is small enough to fit the original box for the steam deck, it should be fine

The only time it really is an issue is the abnormally large box with your steam deck in it, plus I’m sure FedEx has these “mail bags” I call them

Basically any squishies or very thin/smaller boxes go inside it, simply cause they don’t fit in a box stack

I'm like drooling at this deal rn

refurb 750e, some cheap case, ps120 + any GPU and it's like a high end build for about 1000-1400$

[dusk knot]

Daym

Me want

[upper wedge]

i'll get those parts for free and build it for free, just pay for $1400 shipping

[upper rain]

am i stupid or is that just $700 for a board and a 9800x3d?

[upper wedge]

• ram + 1tb ssd

mobile I don't think you're able to see the deal unless you scroll

[upper rain]

ahhh i see, i thought those were add ons you could pay more for lol

not too shabby at all then haha

bc i was going to say, $700 for an x3d and a board is not it lmfao

[upper wedge]

find a used cooler, a used case, possibly a used gpu, then buy a refurbished psu and bam

[worn wave]

Ram is 6000cl36 tho

[upper wedge]

I lowkey could flip with that but I am not blowing all that money for a 2 grand pc tho

[upper rain]

camp a $700 9070 xt and you're golden. or an MSRP 5070 ti if you're really lucky

[upper rain]

it's an AM5 CPU and an x3d at that, doesn't matter

[upper wedge]

I have an open box 9070xt in my microcenter account for 683$ lol

[upper rain]

snag it tbh, worst case scenario you can flip it for more than that lol

[upper wedge]

Ehhh not in my state, hardware swap possibly yes

but i'm still trying to sell my 7800xt and 4070ti S atm

[upper rain]

how much for the nvidia?

or selling as a bundle/full system?

[upper wedge]

well it's a special edition with a free game & i'm trying to get an absurd amount of money for it..

[upper rain]

oh fair enough lol

yeah not my budget then hahaha

[upper wedge]

I mean how much are you looking to spend anyways

[lone mango]

Am5 does benefit from faster timings but x3d doesn’t care that much

So I get why they do it

[upper rain]

probably too little based on going rates lol. i was hoping for $700 since that's what 9070 xt's seem to be at somewhat consistently these days, but street pricing is still $800 lol

[lone mango]

I guess its a good deal if you want to spend that much on a board

[upper rain]

yeah but expo differences are extremely extremely extremely marginal. if we're talking garbage expo vs manually tuned, sure. but i cannot be bothered when it comes to just turning on expo/xmp and leaving it

[lone mango]

But you can get a board half of the price and spend the savings on the ram and ssd

So idk

[tranquil pebble]

learning to depend less on the GUI with Linux, so if just that hangs I can simply restart the problematic process

[lone mango]

Even expo cl28 is marginally better than cl30 in games and cl26 is like getting 8000 ram

[upper rain]

CL alone is meaningless and the primary timings as a whole do very little for overall memory latency

tight CL vs loose CL absent any other changes is literally indistinguishable even in decent benchmarks

fractions of fractions of percentages

[upper wedge]

Ya you could find a 4070ti S for that price, but same with a 9070xt.

I mean I doubt i'm getting that 9070xt within the 3 day reserve period

honestly if somebody paid me to go get it for them & ship it to them same day i'd do it

[lone mango]

When not cpu bound, yes but even just primary timings alone

[upper rain]

primary timings alone make very limited differences to overall latency in any kind of workload, because the primary timings just aren't used that often or a big enough step in memory processes depending on the specific timing we're looking at. and claims of being equivalent to "XXXXmhz" is literally meaningless, because it does not consider timings, and if we're saying that it is equivalent to greater frequencies in terms of bandwidth then that's even more dead wrong unless we're talking very small differences in frequencies, as the bw uplift from faster operations is also marginal

primary timings are mostly there to look pretty on ram vendor boxes /hj

[upper rain]

wonderful, now show the other timings lol

[lone mango]

Im just saying even primaries make a difference

[upper rain]

yeah, a difference. but a largely meaningless one

you would make more of a difference by setting tREFI to some arbitrarily large value than by tightening each individual primary to its minimal

i used to pull my hair out on memory OC mostly on DDR4 but also a little on my 7700x when i had it. manual tuning vs XMP/Expo is... measurable, not really noticeable. vs JEDEC, sure pretty big. just messing with primaries? run to run variance is generally more of a concern than actual differences in performance outside of like linpack or something

[rancid juniper]

AMD LAUNCHING ANYTHING BUT THE RYZEN 3 X3D

[upper rain]

not worth paying extra for fancy expo at same frequency. my honest advice for ram shoppers is to just get aliexpress A die, they have 7200-7800 rated 32GB kits for like $70 before discounts. neat EXPO/XMP setting, and if you wanna tune it, it's A die so have at it

[rancid juniper]

smh

[upper rain]

do they even have a chiplet zen 3 4 core?

afaik they're all tiny monolithic things with half the l3. probably don't even have support for vcache

[lone mango]

Why even have r3 x3d

[tranquil pebble]

regional specific hardware should be illegal

[lone mango]

Thats pointless

[rancid juniper]

same with that microcenter exclusive

🗿

[rancid juniper]

unsure

[lone mango]

Even the 7600x3d was a lot slower than r7

More like

Amd releases anything but ryzen 3

[mental yoke]

its really really annoying

[upper rain]

same cache so i assume mostly down to frequency and core count? do the R5's have lower max frequency vs the R7? bc the R7 caps pretty low, so i wonder if you could get a lot of that frequency back via pretty easy OC

[frigid stag]

Do we still need ryzen 3 quad cores

[cedar compass]

cpu comes under 200$

[nocturne flicker]

Do we still need Zen 3 releases? Don't get me wrong releasing new skus for old platforms is kinda cool but at this point the boards have started to dry up on the new market and the skus they are releasing are getting lower end when that gen's lower end no longer makes sense

That gen is kinda hard to build a new one with now and there is no reason to upgrade to a lower end part of the stack. Maybe the new AM4 board market is still alive in Latin America but it is dying quickly here

[tranquil pebble]

Why are eGPU adapters like $200+ wherever I look?

[pliant berry]

Yeah that’s about what they cost

[tranquil pebble]

someone told me they were cheap lol

[pliant berry]

Lol no, though there are some cheapy (50-70usd) adapters they sold back in the day that worked with some laptops. Still needed another psu to power the gpu though

[tranquil pebble]

5700x3d made sense to release, but I feel like that should have been the last of it

[tranquil pebble]

oh well, I did find a $170 one that supports basically everything I have lol

even supports USB 4, which my laptop has

[pliant berry]

Why you looking at egpus btw?

[tranquil pebble]

Radeon Instict shenanigans on the go

[mental yoke]

id love an egou enclosure just to have and play with

id prolly only use it like 5 times after the initial playing with a new thing thing but theres a lot of little things i would try with it

[kind verge]

yall is buying an used ssd a bad idea?

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[mental yoke]

kinda

[pliant berry]

I just want to be able to properly plug in my laptop to an external monitor

[kind verge]

cuz i found a 2tb m.2 for 40 bucks

like new conditions

thats like a 60% discount

[tranquil pebble]

without knowing how much was written to it.... there is no way to be sure

they do wear out after enough writes

[kind verge]

alr so its basically a gamble

not gonna risk it anyway

[mental yoke]

it either works or it doesnt

[kind verge]

if it dosent work on the spot i can return it but if it wears out in like a year or 2 thats a problem

[tranquil pebble]

for a gaming drive that you dont put anything important on it is probably fine but I would not store anything important on a used ssd

[kind verge]

yeah im probably gonna put a lot of games there

[mental yoke]

no thats just life lol and worth 40 dollars. and could happen with a new drive

[pliant berry]

Depends on seller and if they have smart data. That said I have bought used and refurbished ssds from reputable sellers that were doa in the past

[tranquil pebble]

maybe ask the seller for SMART data

[kind verge]

its on amazon

[pliant berry]

I don’t really trust anything from amazon lol

[tranquil pebble]

amazon and ebay have become full of overpriced junk I have noticed

still some decent stuff in the mix but it is harder to find than it used to be

[kind verge]

yh ive been looking for a 1440p monitor and istg THERES NOTHING

[pliant berry]

That and amazon in particular has been making it extremely difficult to find legit listings

[kind verge]

everything is either out of stock or at insane prices

@dusk knot I’m buying a new mic 🙂

Quadcast 2

[upper wedge]

Does anyone here know why the Asus ROG Ally charger port won't charge?

Some guy is selling his on Facebook for $120, I don't think he knows what he's saying by "Wouldnt tun on needs charger motherboard to replacement"

I saw videos saying that you can just hold the power button for like 45 seconds but I don't think that'll help

[dusk knot]

Nice. You're many steps ahead of me compared to my crappy mic.

[dusk knot]

More like $600

[acoustic palm]

It was only 95$ and my dad got me a free mic stand to

[dusk knot]

Coolio

What's the normal price?

I'll look it up

180. Oof

No ....130

I'm getting mixed results down here in Brazil

Hm.

[pliant berry]

Btw how long you staying in brazil?

[upper wedge]

the multi veggie psu cables

[lone mango]

[mental yoke]

??? they sell odd pin config psus? im lost my bad

i mean i know they make proprietary ones but u bought what

[upper rain]

when 9060 xt is readily available for less

[fresh timber]

I got made fun of for saying 9070 is better value than 5070

[upper rain]

😭

[craggy shoal]

It's way better what (value)

[upper rain]

depending on your use case the overpriced $650 9070's are sometimes better value than MSRP 5070's

5070 is such a garbage product man

[upper rain]

by whom

[fresh timber]

People in hardware swap

[craggy shoal]

whomst

[fresh timber]

Apparently they have the same performance

[upper rain]

lol, a lot of those guys are complete morons

[fresh timber]

Idk about you but I want the vram

12 ain’t enough for me

[upper rain]

9070 is like 10% faster but has tons of vram, even RT is pretty similar

[mental yoke]

hi

[fresh timber]

I’m stretching 16 rn

[mental yoke]

oh wait

[fresh timber]

They pulled up charts showing it goes back to back

They proceed to say 5060ti is better than 9060xt and it’s faster

[craggy shoal]

Idk about y'all but a 9070 XT is the same exact thing as a 5070 Ti rn, given the current prices. One is owned by a crappier company but does better at AI, but also less available

[fresh timber]

They ignore the fact the 9060xt competes with the 8gb 5060ti in price…

[mental yoke]

5090 ti wen

[upper rain]

16 vs 16 sure, 8 vs 16 is a complete joke lol

[fresh timber]

You can’t compare the 8gb 5060ti to a 8gb 9060xt, different prixes

[upper rain]

and even then the ti is low single digits faster

glad i am gone from that server

there was like one kinda reasonable guy there

and a nice fellow i sold my 3090 to

but aside from that mostly trolls and idiots

[fresh timber]

[proud jackal]

[fresh timber]

But non Xt sucks bro, it’s so bad

[nocturne flicker]

Its fine I used to have an AMD cpu with a Nvidia gpu and an Intel ssd

[fresh timber]

It’s a 5070 🤓

[mental yoke]

intel gpus for life

[upper rain]

you too homie

[upper rain]

i need to pick up an Arc card still but i can't bring myself to buy one

[mental yoke]

yea they just dont ever go down enough

they stay just above “eh maybe later” territory

[upper rain]

i like dailying old/slow hardware, but i can't imagine actually using an Arc card. i like having a stable system 🤷‍♂️

[upper rain]

yeah, the a750 for $180 was neat back in 2023 or whatever, but that was for a week and then we got a bunch of cheap RDNA 3 cards that smoked it lol

[fresh timber]

For my next flip I’m goin to have fun with Nvidia

[mental yoke]

and its prolly still 180

[upper rain]

kinda a running theme with arc. launched too late, frantically dropped prices to make up for it, and then got smoked by incoming drops anyway lol

[fresh timber]

I’m going to run salad on my flips while I wait for them to sell lol

[mental yoke]

id love to see intels evil arc and go locking gpus to cpus but they actually just slap hard

[upper rain]

i'm pretty sure they're a little less than that used, but a770, especially the 16GB ones are insane

[mental yoke]

wait sorry intel already evil

[fresh timber]

Intel good

[nocturne flicker]

What?

[mental yoke]

i dont get why windows has such a love for intel over amd

[fresh timber]

Salad

[fresh timber]

Because Microsoft has a relationship with Intel

[mental yoke]

its annoying and they try to inplement proprietary garbo

[upper rain]

Intel is the bully you oversee being beaten by his bigger brother. can't help but have a little sympathy

[nocturne flicker]

What do you mean salad

[mental yoke]

and amd

[upper rain]

i stopped using that because their workloads got so rare that it was a waste of idle electricity

[mental yoke]

they just let intel do weird things in the background architecture that are… just dumb locking intel stuff to it

[upper rain]

the $0.20/week i would make wasn't worth constantly dumping 100w of idle heat into my room

lol

[nocturne flicker]

What is salad?

[upper rain]

extremely scuffed decentralized cloud compute platform

[mental yoke]

best kind

[nocturne flicker]

...Why did they name that salad 😐

[upper rain]

they get teenagers and children with Nvidia GPUs to run workloads on their app, and then they get paid a couple cents an hour to redeem on giftcards and stuff

[upper rain]

no clue

they used to be a mining platform with the same idea, but then mining died so they switched tact

[mental yoke]

its still mining

[upper rain]

it worked well for a brief while, but afaik they haven't turned a dollar in profit yet despite existing since early 2020

[fresh timber]

Not as strong

[upper rain]

they still support it, yes, but it's largely a legacy feature at this point

[nocturne flicker]

None of this junk has turned a profit

[fresh timber]

Intel is faster on windows

[fresh timber]

I solder my cables

Better quality

[nocturne flicker]

Is that how you soldered a screw into your gpu retention bracket

[fresh timber]

Yes

[sand hill]

hang on give me a minute or two i have a wishlist and its all set but....not sure if this is good again give me a minute or 2

@proud jackal hows ur switch 2

kek, me neither. i can do half decent if i've practiced remotely recently but most of my jobs are separated by months and months lol

[opaque sedge]

Icic

[sand hill]

hm someone got a switch 2? so do i (better get me cyberpunk too)

[upper rain]

my 9070 is clean asf because i was working on a 1060 right before

[nocturne flicker]

Switch 2 a better money sink

[fresh timber]

If it’s big I can solder it

If it’s small I cant

[upper rain]

switch 2 doesn't have any real launch titles as far as i can tell. i might get one if the next zelda launches and it's not $90

[opaque sedge]

I had to sent my deck in for an rma… and guess what valve is having supply issues rn so if they dont sent me back my deck and with no replacement… i might not have a deck on my hands for months

[upper rain]

what if it's small but you just have to put solder on top of it

liek the whole point is to screw up and bridge stuff

[opaque sedge]

It left my hands mere hours ago…

I miss it alr

[fresh timber]

I barley did the screw man

[opaque sedge]

I didn’t even finish octopath 2 and persona 3 reload on it…

[upper rain]

hopefully this means deck 2 soon. idk how much Van Gogh stock is lefy tbh, it's pretty ancient tech by now

[upper rain]

i need the story on this. how, why, and when did you solder a screw to your backplate lol

[opaque sedge]

Its cuz of tariffs, since decks are manufactured in china

[lone mango]

Thats not what it was

[upper rain]

ah makes sense

oh

[lone mango]

He soldered a screw to the screw

[upper rain]

OH

[lone mango]

To unscrew the stripped screw

[upper rain]

[lone mango]

ya

[upper rain]

did it work at least?

[lone mango]

ye

[nocturne flicker]

yu

[worn wave]

Surprised solder is strong enough for that tbh

[upper rain]

i won't knock it if it works, good job @fresh timber

[fresh timber]

It very strong

Strong enough for
Flat head

Idk how it will hold up to gpu heat

[opaque sedge]

Amd seems to still have a good amt of old silicon, they basically rebranded the van gogh (sepiroth version prolly since its supports faster memory) with a slightly higher tdp limit for the upcoming xbox asus handheld (the lower end model)

[upper rain]

tin isn't amazingly strong, but it's still solid metal

[upper rain]

interesting. i wonder if they've just got some old N6P allocation they prepurchased and have to use on something

[worn wave]

Right but to bond 2 screws together and then apply torque to unscrew them seems impressive

[opaque sedge]

They released another am4 cpu btw

5500x3d or smth

[upper rain]

yeah but that's N7P, and it's just recycled chiplets that didn't meet the Epyc bin requirements

they're slowly starting to wind down Zen 3 Epyc iirc, but it's still a huge seller

[fresh timber]

The screw was tight enough for a rubber band to rip, but loose enough for solder to be fine

[opaque sedge]

What does n6p and n7p mean?

[worn wave]

Wait did you like put the solder on the head and then stick the screwdriver into it?

[upper rain]

the node that the Zen 3 CPUs are fabricated on

[fresh timber]

I ended up making a imprint of a flathead into the solder

[worn wave]

Ok I see

[opaque sedge]

Icic

[upper rain]

tin moment

[opaque sedge]

Whats it called for am5?

[upper rain]

N5P for Zen 4 CCDs iirc, and i think it's N6P for the IOD. Zen 4 uses N4P for the CCD if i'm not mistaken, and reuses the same IOD from Zen 4

[fresh timber]

the imprent stays now, it was hard getting the solder tto heat up and have the flathead in it

it cools down like instantly

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7fbZdb saving this for later

[upper rain]

ohhh i see that's a neat way of doing it

i thought you meant it imprinted from the force of you stabbing your screwdriver into it

makes sense, tin is weak but maybe not that weak haha

unless you're totally jacked ig

[fresh timber]

i tried, too hard

[upper rain]

yeah

[fresh timber]

better to melt it, and pray imn fast enough

and sometimes it was too weak so i had to make sure it melted inside the screw

[opaque sedge]

Damn so the number goes backwards

[upper rain]

yes, smaller number = denser transistor = more transistors per mm^2 of silicon = more performance = more better

the suffix at the end denotes what the variation of that node is designed for

[fresh timber]

oh you paid your debt

pog

[rigid sinew]

ookay purrrrrr

[upper rain]

but you already have the 13600kf 😭

[rigid sinew]

no it cancelled out

[pliant berry]

I could use some boba

[rigid sinew]

im gonna eat good tonight and i might stream playing codm on discord tonight

[fresh timber]

13600kf+7700xt can get enough for 7800x3d pc, and enough for 9800x3d if i dont buy pretty stuff

[upper rain]

she got the boba so now the old debt doesn't count, girlmath

[fresh timber]

pog

[rigid sinew]

hahaha no the person i owed sushi to, owed me kbbq

so we cancelled it out together

[pliant berry]

So you are both losers

[rigid sinew]

wow ghosty

[upper rain]

tru but then you need to put ur 9070 xt in it. but also the 13600k is still really good so maybe just pocket the savings and put it to use when new hardware comes out lol

[rigid sinew]

where is this hate coming from

[pliant berry]

Lol

[upper rain]

oh gotcha lol

that's much better

[rigid sinew]

it is

[upper rain]

i only ever get takeout on fridays usually, so whenever i get paid i use that as justification

[fresh timber]

yeah ill just put my 9070xt in the 7800x3d pc and boom speed, thats if i feel like selling my massive pc

[upper rain]

"i'm not really wasting money bc bank balance still go up"

[pliant berry]

Man I need to go out more

[fresh timber]

same

i need to showewr

i stinky

[rigid sinew]

its good to spoil yourself

i do that every payday too

[fresh timber]

i did that now im down $900

ur advice made me broke

[rigid sinew]

you did that before

[upper rain]

yeah

[fresh timber]

shhhh

its all well once i sell this rig i can make the 9070xt money back

[upper rain]

tbh homie i'd keep the hardware you already have and scrape together the nicest possible system for yourself (13600kf, 9070 xt) then sell the rest of the kit

[fresh timber]

no more throttle, but the fanspead reading is broken

[upper rain]

i mean this as actual advice, not meming as i so often do

[pliant berry]

Whenever I feel too spendy I usually lock up all extra money in cds or retirement accounts and feel poor again

Easy way to lower spending

[upper rain]

i spread my funds across multiple mediums so that i don't overspend

it also is good for security

[fresh timber]

😦

no more exuse to upgrade

[upper rain]

here's the kicker:

[pliant berry]

Ofc

[upper rain]

https://tenor.com/view/but-heres-the-kicker-gif-26137308

once you have that and you've flipped your stuff you'll have 1) a baller PC, and 2) a bunch of money to pocket

[pliant berry]

I say this as I sit on a boat losing cell service

[upper rain]

Zen 6 looks pretty wicked, imagine fipping the 13600kf and board in a year's time and getting a crazy Zen 6 Ryzen 9 or something

sick interposers and crazy ram support etc.

or you could even wait for Zen 7 on AM6 when the really wild stuff comes out

this is the excuse to upgrade

you're buying yourself future hardware, you just don't know it yet

[fresh timber]

money

so what gpu do i use

[upper rain]

9070 xt broski you just spent weeks stressing over it lol

[fresh timber]

idk which one makes more sense

[upper rain]

plus it's wicked fast

[fresh timber]

NO

[upper rain]

WHY

[fresh timber]

for the flip

[upper rain]

Oh

[fresh timber]

9070xt is going to be my main gpu for years to come unless i magiclly can afford 5090 some how

or it breaks

my 7700xt is repaired enough now, no more 10 0c

but i think a rx6600 would make more sense for a 5500 build, i woudlnt get much more out of it i think

[lone mango]

What the hell

33 degree delta

[fresh timber]

its +15%

[upper rain]

depending on how low you can make your overhead on case, psu, ram, and board, it might make more sense to do a budget flip with the 6600, then sell the 7700 xt separately

[lone mango]

Oh ok

This is reasonable

[upper rain]

but if you have lots of overhead (expensive case and stuff) probs best to do it with the 7700 xt

then flip the 6600 separately

if that makes sense

[fresh timber]

before 0% would = 100%

[fresh timber]

only overhead cost i have is a better not broken case

well and the motherboard i bought but idc that much

[upper rain]

[fresh timber]

i just want liquid cash even if im loosing a little money, but i want the best

[upper rain]

wut does rhis mean

[fresh timber]

at the default powerlimit gpu creaped up to 110c

i just realised my 7700xt is using the same power as my 9070xt give or take 11w LOL

[upper rain]

the way i'm thinking of it is this. cheap case and board will drag down the max price you can get for a 7700 xt build, but won't affect a 6600 much. nice case and board won't pull up a 6600, but will let you maximize price on the 7700 xt build

[fresh timber]

why are people calling the 9070xt inefficent

[upper rain]

quality of your flip is what makes the decision imo. either way works just have to make the right call to extract max value

[fresh timber]

so

what would you do

for max profit

[upper rain]

lemme look at ur list rq

[fresh timber]

ok

ignore bomb psu, once its out my house not my problem

[upper rain]

do you have any RGB to go with the fantech case?

[lone mango]

Because nvidia is still more efficient and compared to the 9070 it kinda is, but still pretty good anyways so its not a big deal really

[upper rain]

bc that might be a good bet for the 7700 xt. otherwise jonsbo 6600 budget flip imo

[upper rain]

less efficient than 5080 iirc, and 5070 ti sweeps bc it's just 5080 -10% with like 80w less or smth

[lone mango]

Yeah

[fresh timber]

or my main build we can ignore sense ima keep it

im not taking that pc appart lol

[upper rain]

which is the main?
