general-chat

[lone mango]

I am not sure if it applies to games that are already made or not

But games that are already dead will stay dead

That I do know

[idle nexus]

stop killing games doesn't apply retroactively if that's what this conversation I'm inserting myself into is about lol

[lone mango]

And also any game made after it passes will have to abide, but idk about currently running games

It would be even huger if it applies to currently running games

[idle nexus]

I wish this would spark discussions about more general things like right to repair & all this data collection garbage we've been forced to accept

I feel like if more people understood the extent to which they're constantly being tracked, they would hate it too lol

[lone mango]

Nah nobody cares lol

[fresh timber]

Hey cloud

And good

Turns out I had the wrong cpu

The cpu I’m getting turns out to be better

[lone mango]

Yeah turns out you got the 226v right

[fresh timber]

Yup

Which goes band for band with 780m

I can.. game on it

[lone mango]

That cpu is in the msi claw

Nvm

It is in a handheld though

[fresh timber]

Yeah

Ima play my games

No man sky here I come

I’m using windows just to test Fortnite out

[lone mango]

You could dual boot if you wish

[fresh timber]

I need to stick to Linux 😦

[lone mango]

Yeah just boot windows only for fn

Linux for everything else

[fresh timber]

Yes

[lone mango]

Although idk about playing fn on a laptop

Gonna have your face right in front of the screen

[fresh timber]

It must be done

[fresh timber]

[lone mango]

nah 16 is good for linux

linux kde ram usage is in the low 2s

[fresh timber]

We must double

[lone mango]

I remember seeing my laptop go below 2

Idk how but it does

[fresh timber]

https://cachyos.org/

[lone mango]

Yeah cachy was the same for me, low-mid 2s

Idk how my laptop is going under 2 though

Maybe because i have less things installed on it

Ngl my laptop install is basically barebones

Basically anything I do is on the desktop so I dont need to have anything on the laptop anyway

Only time I had any ram issue was when I was running my mc server on it

Ram went max

But 16 will still be ok even for a server I think

for me at least

yes, i am still on 12

[fresh timber]

Ew

I have a sd card ima put in laptop

[wary fjord]

Slop Keyword: Blazingly Fast.

Placebo drug will hit u hard on that one xD until you know how to distinguish one to another

[elfin mural]

did my gpu drivers just crash

my screen went black

[remote geode]

did you hear the windows disconnect sound

and depending with your vendor, it should also notify you that your drivers has crashed

might just be a wobbly cable

telltale signs of a driver crash also include gpu-accelerated applications glitching out (like your browser) after the blackout

[elfin mural]

i didn't hear any sound

and this is a laptop im talking about

it just suddenly went blank

and eventually lost sound

had to restart the laptop manually

[remote geode]

huh

seems like a deeper problem than a driver crash

[elfin mural]

it's probably drivers

i had a crash one time but windows recovered

[wary fjord]

its a sign

Hello everyone,

It continues to be an explosive and surreal time for the Subnautica team and community. None of this is what we wanted. But we truly appreciate the amazing support we’ve gotten from everyone. It means a lot to us, especially now.

As I wrote last week, we know in

X · Jul 11, 2025, 12:30 AM

[rigid sinew]

whats the tea

[icy ore]

Tl;Dr new subnautica got delayed and devs are saying its ready for early access (was supposed to come out this year) but publisher is being a pain in the ass and won’t let them for some reason

So they’re suing

I guess

Lmao

Just what I gather from it

[rigid sinew]

maybe theyre trying to increase the intensity of people wanting the game

[icy ore]

I imagine so, falsely push back stating it “isn’t ready” for more free press

Or there could be some other big game coming out around the same time and they don’t want it to be overshadowed, unsure

[rigid sinew]

idk but also what is the drama about gta 6

[icy ore]

Also got pushed back

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrugs-idk-gif-3543925631583865946

[sinful blade]

Thhere were bonuses to be paid out if the game launched in 2025
It got delayed to 2026 by publisher so they don’t have to give money

[fresh timber]

@rigid sinew im sorry i have to disappoint you, i did not purchase a laptop from newegg as bestbuy had a bettre deal

i am true sorry for my sins and i repent them

[rigid sinew]

baaaaan

[cedar compass]

[upper rain]

the amd server people are annoying. also good afternoon

[remote geode]

I can't wait for the B770 to replace my B580 🥺🙏

or replace my 11th Gen CPU with a Series 1 processor

[fresh timber]

Dam

I’m getting series 2 laptop

Lord foog

I found an amazing deal on a 226v laptop

[upper rain]

b770 doesn't exist i will literally livestream my feet for 48 hours if it launches that is how confident i am that it isn't real

[rigid sinew]

also ping me if important, if no important, no ping pls

[remote geode]

I'm not interested in your feet tho

[upper rain]

if they had higher end dies they wouldn't be SLI-ing existing SKUs for higher end products

[upper rain]

lucky you then

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s probably full of amd fanboys

Some of them deny driver issues being a thing cause they never had them. They think all gpus are the same

[remote geode]

their partners are SLI-ing existing SKUs because they can lol

since Intel's T&C's for doing something weird with their product is: "just provide customer support for it, bozo"

[limber crane]

Lmao, so for those who were around a few weeks ago when I asked for opinions on switching to Spectrum. They just finished their site survey and they want 3 grand to dig 400 feet of trench to run the line to my house from the nearest access point

[fresh timber]

no ore pinging naht guys

[remote geode]

dig it yourself XD

[fresh timber]

YOU ARE NOTHING

[upper rain]

because they can and because they don't have actual higher end SKUs

otherwise they'd use it. it's less expensive to have a big GPU than two smaller ones

[remote geode]

or it's not out for partners yet :v

tbh, I'm just hoping for the best, Intel's GPU products are competitive at least, and it's the best as can ask for the GPU market rn

[upper rain]

or a Intel is harvesting extraterrestrial technology from a fallen asteroid that landed in Henderson Nevada in 1966

[sinful blade]

She kinda ass
Good on beefier targets, but not good if you have a bunch of small damage to target

[upper rain]

they're really not though. they sell them at passable prices and make a loss on every sale. that's not competition that's charity, and eventually the coffers dry up

[remote geode]

???

[sinful blade]

I’m good with magik and phoenix this season apparently

[fresh timber]

Go door dash

[upper rain]

https://tenor.com/view/zuckerblob-gif-3287165647875752916

[sinful blade]

I can’t
Maintenance is bringing fire extinguisher and idk when

[remote geode]

I think you missed the point of Intel's GPU line xD

[upper rain]

unless the point of their GPUs is to lose money, i don't think they really have a point

[remote geode]

🤣

Yes, yes, they do not have a point, definitely

[frigid stag]

They should make rx460 price point gpus

150$ cards

[upper rain]

if they have a point then do tell. because right now they're just losing money

[frigid stag]

Then again there’s gaming mice that cost that much

[upper rain]

i agree. they should make ultra low end 96 bit laptop GPUs that cost $30 to produce

i'd rather they turn a profit on GPUs that work than continue pouring money into RND that goes nowhere

eventually the coffers dry up. charity doesn't last forever

[frigid stag]

I wonder how much the rx460 and 480 cost to make

Probably cheap

[upper rain]

contemporaneously or to make an equivalent product today?

[frigid stag]

Today

[remote geode]

Of course? But they're a new player in the market - they're still accumulating goodwill to consumers today lol

[frigid stag]

I’m sure it was like 60 bucks or something low at the time

They were so cheap it’s insane

[remote geode]

They're not gonna aim for profitability ASAP if they're still struggling with their software lmao

and my "dreams" to replace my GPU are kind of just hopeful, I'll probably keep my system as-is if there's no B770

[frigid stag]

They’re good for dx12

For older games I’d skip

[remote geode]

they're pretty decent with dx11 nowadays as well

[upper rain]

they're not producing enough GPUs for this to be a thing, and Alchemist has soured them to OEM

[frigid stag]

They need a wrapper

[remote geode]

and if you mind fiddling with dxvk, you can get games like gta iv running nicely

[frigid stag]

So like the Linux experience

[upper rain]

enjoy ur current build then

[frigid stag]

Needing to tweak stuff to play games

[remote geode]

yep! i personally don't mind

i think that's where i get the fun in this pc hobby thing, tweaking and fiddling with stuff

[upper rain]

agreed, i just like when i'm fiddling with stuff that already works to make it work better

[frigid stag]

I oc for fps mostly, the actual stuff should still just work though

[upper rain]

yah

i like fun benchmark scores

[remote geode]

I OC for effiency mostly

I loved undervolting my old 1070ti

[upper rain]

about $20 for die alone

rest of cost depends on vram and board/cooler

based on cost to produce a ~100mm^2 N6P die (effectively a 6500 xt)

GDDR6 sits at about $4/GB, so +$32 for 8GB of vram, board costs are pretty cheap, and you can get away with a very inexpensive cooler. probs like $100

[frigid stag]

So about the same as it was in 2016

[upper rain]

yeah, mostly because you can't really avoid the base cost to produce such a product

scaling silicon down will only save you so much money

if you doubled the size of the die you'd be looking at something much stronger for like $140 or smth if you also gave it a slightly larger cooler

and atp you'd have double the shaders, bus, etc.

performance per $ spent on silicon has increased since 2016, but inflation has also happened, and the actual benefits to improved cost effectiveness have been shifted upwards in the product stack, so really tiny cheap products aren't actually that cheap. it's a shame, but that's what the economics are

[pliant berry]

Finally got my music player working on linux now

[rough zinc]

I still cant get over how I keep getting like pity looks every time I ask for a table for one at a restaurant, kinda funny ngl

Traveling alone is where its at, love the freedom with it

[pliant berry]

true

[tranquil pebble]

went back to Windows 11 to play some gamepass games and was immediately greeted by multiple annoyances related to text and scaling that simply don't happen on Linux

[icy ore]

When I was younger I always wanted to go on these big grand trips with a bunch of friends and stuff, but as I grow older, my favorite vacations ever are the ones with just my wife and I

It’s so much nicer

Having the ability to just take off and do whatever we want at any given time while on vacation and not having to wait for 10 people to decide where we’re going and which car we’re taking and then someone doesn’t like this place so we’re gonna go here instead but then someone else doesn’t like here

[rough zinc]

Exactly why I trip solo

[pliant berry]

That's what I don't love about travelling with family. as a photographer I love to go off trail and explore for a while

[lone mango]

Yeah apps scale automatically but on windows its static across all screens

[pliant berry]

windows scaling as always sucked

[misty sparrow]

did any of you get anything from prime day?

[pliant berry]

yeah, I got a hard drive from microcenter

bro what happened to hardware accel

[craggy shoal]

Btw, America also uses the metric system, even more frequently than non-Americans think

Now start an argument because this server is dead

A Youtuber/streamer adopting a persona built on lies? I never expected it

I'm shocked

Shocked I say

[fresh timber]

lets not get it twisted

hes the worst

[cedar compass]

[wary fjord]

XD the only wrong thing i can see on him is the procrastination.. the game dev q/a he has.. he look at the code for 3-5 seconds yap for 20 mins... Then repeat.. till end of the stream

[fresh timber]

fr

like code the damn game

also they cracked his drm within a hour

[wary fjord]

He might be burn out also but deym xD that game dev stream at twitch.. is so boring... Bruh is not locked in... He has so many priority all at once. XD

[fresh timber]

in the video he cracked it in 30 seconds

[lone mango]

[wary fjord]

I dont even call that drm ... U cant put drm on game maker xD

Need 3rd party software

U can decompile back a game maker

So its useless to put drm from game maker it self

[lone mango]

Linux on sd card

[pliant berry]

sure

raspberry pis use micro sd as their main storage unless you get an expansion card

[fresh timber]

Oooo

Im doing it

[pliant berry]

I tried running windows 8.1 on an sd card once

[tranquil pebble]

doubt it... sometimes it looks like its doing the opposite of anti aliasing

[tranquil pebble]

I bet the boot time was crazy

if it booted at all

[fresh timber]

Do it

[tranquil pebble]

imagine installing Call of Duty from floppy disks

[proud jackal]

So what did y'all buy

[icy ore]

Nuffin

[lone mango]

i did not buy anything on steam because i didnt need to

i would have spent more money on the sale than if there was no sale

because of that and the sense of urgency i did not buy anything

[pliant berry]

b but

you need to buy now

sale will run out

I swear if I keep trying the same thing it will work eventually... right?

[spark halo]

So was playing a game,

Pc blackscreened

Tried to reseat gpu and still wont turn on

What do i do

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[gleaming sedge]

how well do things like these work? https://www.amazon.com/Mbiydeg-sata-Power-Splitter-HDD、SSD、Optical/dp/B0D5CWRD8W/ref=asc_df_B0D5CWRD8W?

[spark halo]

Like all the fans working

[dusk knot]

Just one game?

I mean, this happened with one specific game?

[spark halo]

No i was just playing foundry for dnd

[dusk knot]

Huh

[gleaming sedge]

eww foundry

[spark halo]

And pc was super hot when it went to black screen

[gleaming sedge]

last few updates they made it so rough to use for the DM

[dusk knot]

You've been playing this game for a while now and only now it's black screening?

[spark halo]

Yes

I tried turning my pc back on and the only thing is it wont display

[dusk knot]

Oh crap

[spark halo]

It seems everything else is working

[lone mango]

What card you got rn

[dusk knot]

Yeah

What card

[spark halo]

Uh 3060

[dusk knot]

2 fan card?

[spark halo]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Hmmmmm

[lone mango]

Have you updated your gpu drivers recently

[dusk knot]

^

[spark halo]

Not as of recent

[dusk knot]

That could be the problem...maybe

[lone mango]

Did you do a windows update recently

[spark halo]

Like i did 3 weeks ago

[dusk knot]

DDU time

[lone mango]

Does your cpu have integrated graphics

[spark halo]

Yes but i have no idea how to access them

It says it does

[dusk knot]

Oh good point. Plug your DP or HDMI to the mobo

[frosty sinew]

Plug into mobo

[lone mango]

Should just be able to plug your display into the motherboard

[spark halo]

What do i do after

[dusk knot]

Boot up the computer

So that you fix the issue

Could it be Windows or the game itself?

Some games get unstable after awhile

Black screens everything

[spark halo]

Booted right up

[dusk knot]

But update those drivers, or possibly roll back. Not sure

[spark halo]

After i plugged it directly into mobo

[dusk knot]

Nice

But the GPU still has a problem

[lone mango]

Try updating to latest

[spark halo]

Its not detecting my gpu at all

[dusk knot]

Oh boy

You tried another slot, Morgana?

[spark halo]

I only have one slot on this mobo for prority

[dusk knot]

Hmm

Well crap

[spark halo]

Yeah….

[dusk knot]

How old is your gpu?

[spark halo]

Its 3060

So newish

[lone mango]

Damn I was hoping that would not happen

[dusk knot]

Would be nice if you had a spare GPU laying around

[spark halo]

I dont

[dusk knot]

Ik. Figured

You can't play with a dGPU

Uuughh...update those drivers

Everything

[spark halo]

I can play like minecraft but i mean

Thats it

[dusk knot]

Rip

[spark halo]

I been playing space station 14 which i may be able to play

[dusk knot]

How many hours did you play the game you mentioned awhile ago?

[spark halo]

Uuuh

Like 8

[dusk knot]

Your only hope rn is to update, roll back, or DDU

[spark halo]

Sigh i guess i know what im doing tomorrow

[dusk knot]

After that, worse case scenario, your GPU just died

I doubt it

[spark halo]

I will try another slot before i give up

[dusk knot]

I thought you said you only had one slot

[spark halo]

I think i didnt put it back in priority slot lol

[dusk knot]

Kk

Oh ..... priority

You got this. Just don't give up

Sometimes the biggest problems have the simplest solutions

PC gaming. Smh

[spark halo]

I moved it back to proirty slot still nothing

[dusk knot]

Those drivers

Go back to mobo output

[spark halo]

I did

[lone mango]

You said it was hot

but how hot

[spark halo]

Like very

[lone mango]

Do you know the temp readout? is it like that all the time

[spark halo]

No

[lone mango]

Because even a cool computer is still hot to the touch

[dusk knot]

Hm

[spark halo]

Its not that hot normally

[dusk knot]

The game did something

[spark halo]

Idk

[dusk knot]

So you said there's no display when you plug it to the motherboard?

[spark halo]

There is display when plugged directly into mobo

[dusk knot]

Oh good

[spark halo]

Just gpu wont detect

[dusk knot]

The drivers

That should be the culprit

You know what to do

[spark halo]

Ill probably use ddu

[dusk knot]

Kk

Hopefully it's not a BIOs issue

Also is the future you should repaste that GPU

[spark halo]

Honestly if it is the gpu ill probably go back to amd

[lone mango]

zen 5 apu incoming

[spark halo]

I have better luck with amd than nvidia

[dusk knot]

Hm

[lone mango]

Typically people say the opposite

I have not had any issues over the past 7 years so welcome to the lucky amd club

[dusk knot]

I've had a great time with NgreedAi so far...well my 5080 has black screens, but it's all fixed now

[onyx merlin]

hello

Going to get an Iwatch likely soon

[dusk knot]

Turned out the PCIE was plugged in all the way 💀

[onyx merlin]

should I get refurbished or new ?

[dusk knot]

Hello, senior member

Refurbished from where?

[lone mango]

Why novideo let the interns into the main driver pipeline

[lone mango]

What are you getting that is refurbished

[dusk knot]

Same money

[onyx merlin]

Iwatch

[dusk knot]

Obviously

[onyx merlin]

Apple store

[spark halo]

Gpu still not detected

Even after ddu

[lone mango]

the death of a card that did not deserve to die

[dusk knot]

Hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm

[onyx merlin]

..

[dusk knot]

There has to be another reason

[spark halo]

It could be the motherboard slot too

Idk

I have no way to test that

[onyx merlin]

so

should I just get new or refurbished

[lone mango]

Well you said you put it in a different slot earlier and nothing happened

[lone mango]

Whats the price difference

[spark halo]

Yes but not prority

Card could be bricked though

[dusk knot]

@spark halo update chipset or BIOS

Is the PCIE slot enabled in BIOs?

[onyx merlin]

Iphone SE is 249 for new and refurbished 209 @lone mango

the iwatch

[dusk knot]

Or maybe..... manually update the driver from NgreedAi website, Morgana

If that doesn't work, I got nothing else

@idle nexus 👀

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-gif-14307036094483991064

[dusk knot]

That could be ut.... terrible

Theo-sama

[spark halo]

Yeah i might buy a new gpu..

[onyx merlin]

will get 10

refurbished

I think mabey.

[dusk knot]

Sorry to hear that, Morgana

[spark halo]

It is what it is

[dusk knot]

If that isn't the issue ....your motherboard could be at fault

[spark halo]

Atm i am broke so it may be a while before i can afford a card

[dusk knot]

But the hot GPU could just mean that it died

Yeah ...

[spark halo]

Yeah…

Any recommendations for amd carda

Cards

[dusk knot]

9700xt ofc

Too high for you I bet....

[spark halo]

Within a budget please

[dusk knot]

Hm

What budget?

[spark halo]

Like 400-600

Idk ill have to do some research

[dusk knot]

7800xt

I'm an NgreedAi guy, but compooper seems to love that card. It must be good

👍

[proud jackal]

help nvidia get to 5 trillion market cap

[lone mango]

What res you on rn

[dusk knot]

You could do that, Theo

Theo shares are skyrocketing

[proud jackal]

it wasnt a suggetion

[lone mango]

What would he the best way to add 4 dvd drives and 4 blu-ray drives to a Dell mini pc? Was looking at splitters and a it looks like I can get ones that do power up to 6, might be able to find higher though

[dusk knot]

Another emote to add.

honestly Starfleet became pretty stupid

[fresh timber]

f word

[onyx merlin]

Kirks era had pracitical uniforms

[fresh timber]

f words means alot of things

[onyx merlin]

and they just got worse

with each new generation

[fresh timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JgwdYIHubA&t=15s

i wanna buy mr roomba a gaming laptop but im poor

[onyx merlin]

also Kirks era had more practical ships

[sinful blade]

Voyager > any other ship thank you

[dusk knot]

Harry Kim never really got a promotion after how many years in the Delta quadrant?

[sinful blade]

I will not be elaborating

[fresh timber]

mr romba

[sinful blade]

He did in STO

[fresh timber]

4060 desktop or 4070ti laptop

4080

[sinful blade]

4070ti laptop

[onyx merlin]

go 4080 Super

Instead

[fresh timber]

mr roomba wants new pc

[dusk knot]

STO?

[sinful blade]

Star Trek online

He’s an admiral I think

[dusk knot]

Ooooooh

[onyx merlin]

star trek has online game wtf

really ?

[dusk knot]

Right. The game

[fair onyx]

I have no idea. I will take a look into it and see fi I can figure it out

[onyx merlin]

did not even know that

[dusk knot]

Yes. It’s great if you like grinding

[onyx merlin]

meh I grind all day long at my job..

[fresh timber]

i griind my stone

[onyx merlin]

aka delivering mail and packages every day basically

[fresh timber]

grind that stone every night

on my stone grinider

[dusk knot]

Kek. The omega directive

[onyx merlin]

I guess I watch SE then.

seems good enough

[dusk knot]

My brain just collapsed

[onyx merlin]

looks like your CPU needs upgrading

dont forget the thermal glue xd

[dusk knot]

Alright…..time to go on another Star Trek nostalgia trip with a few episodes tonight

[onyx merlin]

I own complete original series

on dvd

[dusk knot]

DVD 📀

Nice

[sinful blade]

@onyx merlin it’s a fun extension of the universe

But don’t be like most people if you play it and make 39 different characters

[dusk knot]

You have more memes ?

😞

[onyx merlin]

nah will only make 1 character if I do get around to playing it.

got such a huge backlog.

[nocturne flicker]

STO is a disappointment. Not enough story content, the ground gameplay is mediocre and the endgame is misery

[pseudo raven]

is this to run them locally?

[fresh timber]

yes

[idle nexus]

Heck... If this RAM really needs 1.66 VDD to run 6200c26, maybe I should settle for c28

I wonder if anyone dislikes their X670E MSI ACE as much as I dislike this X670E Taichi lol

Jk it's actually looking more like 1.66 is too high lol

[lone mango]

Why is 3d being used and not the endoder for video playback

Linux moment

[upper wedge]

This sounds stupid but

Should I buy a MacBook 2022 (M1) with a broken screen, everything else works though for $300?

[rancid juniper]

well if you can repair it (which you will) then yea go for it

[fresh timber]

DIY Mac mini

[rancid juniper]

yes

[fresh timber]

I mean we did

[sinful blade]

Don’t make my mistake
Just make a fed

[fresh timber]

We created a way to sort and count objects in the form of numbers

[frigid stag]

Math exists regardless if people found it

[fresh timber]

Hi pookie

[olive plaza]

I've been doing PC builds for 20+ years and the longer I go at it, the more I realize there are an infinite number of situations I've never dreamt of running into

[frigid stag]

And science is just discovering what’s already there

[fresh timber]

The concept of numbers was made up which is used for math

[sinful blade]

Real

[fresh timber]

Real

[frigid stag]

Numbers exist regardless of someone finding it

[fresh timber]

my pc kept failing, turns out low voltage problems

[frigid stag]

And understand it

Doesn’t mean “we invented math”, it’s there regardless

[olive plaza]

This guy has a system with an rtx4080. He temporarily removed it, to install another NVMe into the slot that's under where the cooler sits

[fresh timber]

Go on dad

[olive plaza]

It was apparently so hot in his place, and he has no AC, he literally sweated on the card.

sweat falling off his face onto the card

it now gives a yellow exclamation mark in device manager.

[opaque sedge]

Goddamn the screen’s expensive on ifixit

Its used too

Maybe if u gamble on the alie ones

[olive plaza]

macbook screens are expensive

just in general

[upper wedge]

Oh lord

[olive plaza]

especially the years where the glass would delaminate, finding ones that aren't delaminated is expensive

[upper wedge]

Wait

@opaque sedge that’s the pro

I think the model is the air

[upper wedge]

Unless they’re ALL the same screen

[olive plaza]

they're not

[opaque sedge]

The air with the m1 came out in 2020

[olive plaza]

also depending on the year you're gonna lose the full color gamut

[upper wedge]

Hmm I think it’s a 2020 air m1

And he just bought it in 2022

That’s what I’d assume then

[fresh timber]

I can buy a used Mac for that price

[opaque sedge]

Yh the mac m1 products all cane out in 2020 and the m1pro and max 2021

[fresh timber]

Turns out my laptop has oled verson I might be tempted to buy the oled display if it’s the right price

[upper wedge]

Yup that’s the situation, just checked more of the Facebook

Even then the damn screen for a m1 2020 air is $400

Might aswell buy a 1080p portable monitor

[fresh timber]

Just buy working Mac

It’s cheaper

[opaque sedge]

Air’s still expensive from the ifixit side, there are cheap ones from alie and amazon and ebay but that would prolly be a gamble

[frigid stag]

LOL now I know why💀

[opaque sedge]

Yh a refurb air from apple or best buy maybe

[upper wedge]

It’s probably FHD or something f

[opaque sedge]

Nah i think apple uses miniled panels for their displays

And they gotta opt for high res

[upper wedge]

Oh ya ik that, just talking about the cheaper ones

[opaque sedge]

Oh

[frigid stag]

Don’t they have oled?

[rancid juniper]

imma beam the ng till it drives

[upper wedge]

Probably newer models for the MacBook

Or just for their studio Mac’s

But I doubt in 2020 they’d have OLED

[opaque sedge]

@upper wedge these are the cheapest ones in refurb section of apple

16 gigs of mem and 256gigs of storage

[upper wedge]

what about edu

cause I think edu is 100$ cheaper

[opaque sedge]

Nope i think they only recently opted for oled and prolly for the big pro ones only

[opaque sedge]

Yh its 100 bucks cheaper cant find reburb models tho

[upper wedge]

ehhh don't need refurb

[rancid juniper]

possible bottleneck?

all graphics options were maxed out

hmm

[opaque sedge]

Then yh for the m4 air education pricing starts at 899usd for the 13inch

I believe it comes with 16gigs of mem now (ducking finally) and 256 gigs ssd

[fresh timber]

Buy new gpu

9070zt

[rancid juniper]

ah yes i can swap out my mobile gpu ofc ofc

[lone mango]

Cpu usage should be higher if true

[opaque sedge]

Is that a laptop?

[rancid juniper]

yea

[fresh timber]

Egpu silly

[lone mango]

Unless the game is using a single thread

Check that

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[fresh timber]

Does beam run on Linux

[rancid juniper]

alr

[upper wedge]

atp I would buy a mac mini 😭

just have the portable screen

[opaque sedge]

And how u gonna power it

[upper wedge]

portable power station

😭

jk good point tbh

[opaque sedge]

Thats a first generation laptop ur talking abt

From two three decades ago

[opaque sedge]

Got a question can mobile gpus reach 100% usage or rather near 100% when not plugged into power?

[rancid juniper]

its possible but it wont reach high clocks (lower performance)

[fresh timber]

Ima spoil

[rancid juniper]

i cannot escape huh...

using the vulkan api definitely helped

something to do with DX11's draw calls or something

laptop still got power left in the tank

[fresh timber]

Which game sir

[opaque sedge]

So its not power then

[rancid juniper]

beamng drive

[rancid juniper]

nope

[opaque sedge]

Looks better than mhwilds

[fresh timber]

How much is game sir

Sir frost

[opaque sedge]

I did a reshade mod on wilds recently and it looks great somewhat

[rancid juniper]

24.99

[fresh timber]

Buy me it sir

Or els

[rancid juniper]

no

[fresh timber]

that’s it

You’re done

[opaque sedge]

Bit overexposed for my tastes tho so planning on getting a mod that just removes the ugly post processing

[rancid juniper]

nah id defend

[opaque sedge]

Thats like 10 indie games during a steam summer sale

10 indie games i will never touch

[rancid juniper]

fr

[opaque sedge]

Summer sale cooked me

[fresh timber]

That’s not what you should be worried about

I just hacked into your bank

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber microcetner lowered prices

[rancid juniper]

play this

do it

do it now

[opaque sedge]

Damn wish i could trade in my stuff

[rancid juniper]

stop it mr terrific

[acoustic palm]

also 50$ upgrade to get an x870e WTF????

[opaque sedge]

Chill i’m tryna complete sekiro rn before playing anything else

[rancid juniper]

pain simulator huh?

alr then

[opaque sedge]

I can skip the minibosses technically

But they teach u the game

[fresh timber]

Nope, I have access to your pc now

[rancid juniper]

crap

[opaque sedge]

The b650 is fine and pretty sure they update the boards bios to be compatible now

[fresh timber]

Mini

[acoustic palm]

still

[fresh timber]

Guys, do you want to see game frost homework folder

[acoustic palm]

50$ to get a x870e over a b650 😭

[opaque sedge]

Thats 50 bucks of games u might miss out on

[acoustic palm]

im helping a person with 2500$ budget

[opaque sedge]

…

[acoustic palm]

5080, 4tb storage, 9800x3d

[opaque sedge]

Yeah i think the x870 is fine a choice

Talk to them abt it tho

[acoustic palm]

honestly might tell them they can save money and get a 9070xt instead

[fresh timber]

I’d rather spend the $50 for the board

[rancid juniper]

actually yea im down

[opaque sedge]

You guys have a homework folder?

[fresh timber]

Only game drift

[rancid juniper]

e

=

mc

^2

[acoustic palm]

(nearly half the price and not a huge perf loss)

bruh they raised 7800x3d and you cant board swap

[opaque sedge]

Think the 50 series got a performance bump with recent drivers iirc but so did the 9070xt

[opaque sedge]

And the rams crappier now too

Cl36

For all of the bundles

[acoustic palm]

always been taht way

[opaque sedge]

Nope

My 7800x3d bundle had cl32 ram

[velvet summit]

Damn

The coworker I chat with most quit

[acoustic palm]

mine had cl36

bought mine a while ago

[opaque sedge]

Fortunately for u due to x3d u likely wont notice much performance differences over lets say cl30 or 32 ram

[acoustic palm]

yeah

if i feel like wasting money ill get cl28 ram

[opaque sedge]

Think those ones u gotta mess around with

Or was it for higher frequency ram

[acoustic palm]

this

cl28 is just set xmp and let it go

[opaque sedge]

Iirc 6000 mhz ones are just plug and play

[fresh timber]

Look

Sprunki

I’m dizzy

[acoustic palm]

yeah

and the one i found is cheap

[opaque sedge]

Sit down somewhere

[acoustic palm]

105$ cl28 6000mt/s

104*

[opaque sedge]

Grab a drink if possible

And by drink i mean water juice or soda

[fresh timber]

Drink

Drinkkkk

Root beer

[fresh timber]

Slow r

[lone mango]

wym

cl28 is good

[olive plaza]

for 32GB right?

[acoustic palm]

mhm

[olive plaza]

idk man I don't know if I can justify that much

[acoustic palm]

ok

[surreal kernel]

is it better to get a desk double monitor stand or a wall one

[frigid stag]

It’s like 10 bucks more than cl30 kits

[olive plaza]

people are dumping the 6000 CL36 kits they get from the micro center bundles for like 50-60 bucks

[acoustic palm]

my guy

thats what im doing

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1093800682601062430/1104613213749923870/Screenshot_2023-03-02_195313.gif

[olive plaza]

I have like 4 or 5 of those kits on hand LOL

the lowest price I paid for one was 30

[acoustic palm]

ill sell em to a friend

[frigid stag]

They say “all adie ram is the same” when some people had different results from different kits on the same board

[surreal kernel]

?

[olive plaza]

I like my desk one

[acoustic palm]

its also A die so

[olive plaza]

but I also have a very sturdy table

[olive plaza]

I could probably justify this if it was on a non 3D CPU, primarily for productivity

[acoustic palm]

its also white with rgb

and this ram looks uglyt

[olive plaza]

for gaming? I feel like the 3D cache makes latency less of a problem

I know that's how it was on AM4 for sure

and yeah white RGB DDR5 kits are more, so it makes sense

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/KLEVV-2x16GB-6000MHz-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B0FDPNJJWJ i wanna get this and a vgpu mount so bad

[olive plaza]

what GPU?

[acoustic palm]

steel legend

[olive plaza]

is it like a 9070XT Steel Legend

[fresh timber]

Ever sense Doug joined chats been smart

[acoustic palm]

lmao

[fresh timber]

Your 9070xt is the same tdp as mines

[acoustic palm]

damn

[olive plaza]

me and my peasant non XT 9070

[fresh timber]

Lll

Poor

[acoustic palm]

damn

[olive plaza]

To be fair

I was at micro center on launch day and they ran out of MSRP 9070XT cards before I got to the front

but they still had non XT's at MSRP

[acoustic palm]

mine was 670 so idm

[fresh timber]

If ur make you feel better @upper rain 9070 beats a 4080

[olive plaza]

So my choice was $549 for a 9070 or $729 for an XT

729 was the least expensive still available

[fresh timber]

94 wait

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber bro rgb white ram would go so hard

[fresh timber]

oh

im so tired

my laptop delivers tommrow

[acoustic palm]

same

[fresh timber]

huh

[olive plaza]

The visual on this is hilarious to me

laptop walking up to your door, dropping off a UPS man, and leaving

[fresh timber]

thats how it.. works

[olive plaza]

as opposed to the laptop being delivered

[acoustic palm]

thats infact what they do

[fresh timber]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[olive plaza]

the laptop is delivering

[north crescent]

Laptop delivering a child

[fresh timber]

ima deliver to doug

[olive plaza]

Laptop: "I made dis" it's a Zune

[fresh timber]

brodie got a stick up his ass when zach went live and started moderating chats behavior like he never engage and does the same shit

[fresh timber]

I WANT A ZENBOOK

chineese zenbook

[north crescent]

Im trying to remember what programs I've most recently seen crashing happen was, maybe Oculus software? Idk, but regardless, I've seen programs crash, quit, and fail to kill all processes/threads. Some of which are taking significant resources. My most recent experience is a program crashing, killing all but one process, and having that one process take 100% of a CPU thread

[surreal kernel]

im between these

[acoustic palm]

idh oculus software, but i am crashing like once or twice a day

[fresh timber]

looks like both will explode

[surreal kernel]

💔

does aliexpress even sell good stuff

[olive plaza]

aliexpress doesn't sell anything

it's all 3rd party sellers

[fresh timber]

i sell dougs

drougs

[surreal kernel]

yh I mean cab you find good stuff there

[fresh timber]

lmfao doug drougs

[olive plaza]

so you have to check the individual seller's stuff

[north crescent]

Aliexpress sells a service for shops to sell stuff

[surreal kernel]

ah I understand

[olive plaza]

it's like buying off ebay

[fresh timber]

but from china

[olive plaza]

sometimes, not all the sellers are there

[acoustic palm]

im cooked

[north crescent]

Which is where most things come from anyways

[fresh timber]

dont tell the current political leader that

[surreal kernel]

I need to smoke

asap

[olive plaza]

everything is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough

[fresh timber]

im getting tgired but not tired enough to slep

[fresh timber]

i made a pcb smoke by touching wires

[surreal kernel]

I need a cigarette

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber i restarted adrenaline

[fresh timber]

go join her

shes bored

[olive plaza]

What was the incident

[olive plaza]

It's funny you said this

I've been a Newegg customer for longer than most of you have probably been alive

[acoustic palm]

yup

[velvet summit]

Idk if there are many post 05 born members here?

Though idk

I forget how many here are in their 20s or higher

[fresh timber]

ohh

[icy ore]

Looks like fire waiting to happen

[echo thistle]

chinese things are built really well actually

[lone mango]

The unfortunate reality

Made in usa only requires i think 20% of the product to be made in the usa

many cases where they ship their intellectual property to plants in china that make the parts and then send it back to the us to be finished

The tables have turned

[echo thistle]

it's because there are so many factories and highly skilled people for manufacturing literally anything in china

[lone mango]

But also the fact that there was a mindset in america where people associated manufacturing with something below them, like it is something that is low value and they are too good to do something like manufacturing, so stuff like tool and die dipped hard

[echo thistle]

rip

[lone mango]

As a result it is now really hard to make something competely in america

This expensive nvme enclosure I bought is probably made in china even though it says made in usa

They probably do final assembly here

[echo thistle]

I don't really care where my things are made, as long as they're high quality I couldn't care less

[nocturne flicker]

Biggest reason is that we disinvested in manufacturing while also opening up to manufacturing in places with significantly cheaper wages and loose work safety rules

We could do it here if we invested significantly over a long period and accepted that prices would be higher

[velvet summit]

Chinese things are built to the budget they are given*

[echo thistle]

$3 100w power bank from aliexpress is surprisingly decent, decent being it didn't immediately explode

[wraith fern]

hell no

i would not try pulling 100w from that

[fresh timber]

[misty sparrow]

real evil bungie wouldn't have split from microsoft

[nocturne flicker]

Real evil Bungie would've joined EA or Ubisoft

[fresh timber]

Hi weary

I love you

[misty sparrow]

oh actually they would've get bought out by activision

still bad, but probably the 3rd worst fate for any company/game dev

[nocturne flicker]

Weird

[nocturne flicker]

Got bought by Activision and then got dragged kicking and screaming back into Microsoft

[misty sparrow]

lmao

[lone mango]

Nah thats good bungie

[fresh timber]

Hi clue’s

[lone mango]

The linux installation for that ai app is just an appimage

i can download it rn

forgot i had the tab open

fr

not sure how i get the key

i assume i need an account with a provider

i think this is just an app that uses them to do the processing

kinda how this music recognition app uses audd.io to do the searches

[south sapphire]

Is there a way to find the exact model of power supply I have? I looked up the specs on a spec sheet; trying to find out if there is a way to find my exact power supply without taking a part my PC

I had my PC built in 2020 and I was told I needed a ATX 3.1 standard PSU for 5090; guessing I most likely don’t have that type of PSU

[lone mango]

If the spec sheet somehow wont tell you then you gotta take off the back panel and see what it is

You dont need to take apart the computer

And yeah you dont have 3.1 but you dont 100% need it, it is only a recommendation. But since you dont have 3.0 either, might as well get 3.1

[fresh timber]

i just crashed explorer

hhe

[lone mango]

bazzite iso is huge
