@fossil venture

[fossil venture]

its a laptop on facebook

[sinful blade]

Idk enough about laptop fans

[fossil venture]

oh

its 450 dollars but he said if its still on sale by wedsneday he will sell it for 200 dollars

[sinful blade]

Ask in #electronics

[sinful blade]

Don’t buy that lmao

[trim flame]

sorry to violently harass you but if I ship my tower in the packing it came in originally and just fill the inside with instapak (after removing gpu) think it'll be fine for ups 3 day?

[fossil venture]

its not good?

[sinful blade]

A 2060 laptop for $450

No

[fossil venture]

how much is it worth

[sinful blade]

@elfin mural can help you find a proper laptop

[fossil venture]

@elfin mural help me find a proper laptop

[topaz crown]

Hello @fossil venture! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[frigid stag]

so it looks like control key acts like a mute key now and microsoft keeps sending new outlook mail app. no coincidence

they broke windows again

i dont even have to tweak, even stock windows they push trash like that, i get pop ups for the new outlook app even though i havent used windows mail

[chrome mirage]

20 series GPUs being outdated makes me feel old

Probably shouldn't gauge my age on tech stuff since it changes so quickly

[fossil venture]

how much is it worth

[nocturne flicker]

I rember when people were hyping up the 10 series release in high school

[dense locust]

its the rtx 206

[chrome mirage]

No clue but it's a lower end gpu from 4 years ago so probably not much.

[fossil venture]

i know

i cant afford the high end pcs

i just bought a gaming laptop off facebook for 220

[chrome mirage]

People in my school weren't into PCs but I wanted a 1080 in highschool and had a gtx 770

[proud jackal]

[chrome mirage]

Glad I did my research because I almost bought a 1050 which wasn't a huge upgrade

[nocturne flicker]

I got a 970 a little after the 10 series launch.

[north crescent]

Back when Pascal was out I was on a prebuilt. Had a 970 that was faulty so I sent PC in and got a 1070 back, despite the fact they couldnt even replicate the issue I was having lol

[chrome mirage]

I bought my gtx 770 from a crack house when I was 16

[fossil venture]

cap

[chrome mirage]

$100 cad was a steal for the card I got

[nocturne flicker]

I bought my GT730 at 15 from Wegg

The 970 was also Wegg.

I built in Rosewill case and had a Rosewill psu

Deserve the Wegg loyalty award

[north crescent]

It was a pretty terrible prebuilt tbh. But Acer did well on the upgrade so I give them some praise

[frigid stag]

they arent

its just laptops are slower than desktops

[chrome mirage]

Can't remember what cards my Alienware had but they were both 1gb radeon cards connected with crossfire

[dense locust]

but wattage or something i dunno

[frigid stag]

can go as low as 140w its good

or up to 450 if you want

[dense locust]

my pc can go as low as 30 watts

its called idle

[chrome mirage]

My 2080Ti was struggling with modern games last year so I'd say they are outdated

I should say poorly optimized games

[frigid stag]

sounds like a personal problem. runs 4k well for me

[north crescent]

5060Ti is like 35% - 40% perf of a 5090, historically a XX50 tier. So yeah still pretty low end

[nocturne flicker]

I'm going to age your watts in a minute

[chrome mirage]

I was getting 58 fps in some games at 1440p

[frigid stag]

its completely different die sizes now its kinda complicated

[frigid stag]

what clocks

[chrome mirage]

Whatever the EVGA black ran at. Thing would run way too hot though

[frigid stag]

yikes

[north crescent]

EVGA Black was pretty close to stock usually afaik

[dense locust]

time to amp it up

[chrome mirage]

Apparently the gap between the cooler and the die caused the cooling issues on the EVGA black

[dense locust]

the reason is because the 5090 was the only gpu that actually increased in performance in a significant way
only because they just made it bigger

[nocturne flicker]

But fake frames make fps go up 4x

Bigger number better

[fresh timber]

TY LORD

[chrome mirage]

Went a little overkill on the cooler for my current GPU

[chrome mirage]

Buy me beer

[nocturne flicker]

Buy Intel Stock

[fresh timber]

i alr sold my intel

[chrome mirage]

I got a guy that deals with my stocks and stuff

[nocturne flicker]

Also 700k Intel guy is still down

Never going to get even

Having a broker is a waste of money. Especially if they aren't actively trading with high frequency

[fresh timber]

[frigid stag]

and now my ethernet doesnt work. how do people use windows and avoid this crap

[fresh timber]

usbc ethernet

[frigid stag]

its the dumb outlook app theyre trying to force me to use

[fresh timber]

i made money off you

[frigid stag]

it broke something and now the control key is a mute key

[fresh timber]

i sold goose photos

[chrome mirage]

I turned my first gen intel PC into a media server

[frigid stag]

wtf 💀

[chrome mirage]

I went to a small car meet today

[nocturne flicker]

Car meat

Tastes like plastic and burnt oil

[chrome mirage]

2 people drove their winter cars because it's already cold here

[chrome mirage]

Depends on which car. A couple guys in my group have carbon fiber stuff

[proud jackal]

in america we call that a parking lot

[sinful blade]

What is it

[proud jackal]

[nocturne flicker]

Because you are parking a lot

[sinful blade]

I have iPhone 11

[chrome mirage]

Didn't know American parking lots had that many unreliable vehicles in one place

[proud jackal]

we do

[sinful blade]

Buy extra GPU’s

[proud jackal]

we call them Fords

[nocturne flicker]

We always have at least 3 6 wheeled pickup trucks driven by 50 year old blondes taking up entire rows

[chrome mirage]

Why does America look for oil in other countries when they can just get it from the ground on the parking lot

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/inugami-korone-processing-thinking-pondering-calculating-gif-24147534

[nocturne flicker]

Because we drink petroleum products for breakfast

[chrome mirage]

Forget microplastics, you guys have macroplastics

[nocturne flicker]

It is actually because we make gasoline powered cars practically mandatory for living in 85% of the country and then punish people for using renewables and evs

[chrome mirage]

Electric cars are less practical in Canada. Colder weather and less charging stations.

[dense locust]

[chrome mirage]

Also my uncle has to drive 8 hours down a road with no electricity for work.

[nocturne flicker]

The average American drives 40 miles a day based on gov't statistics and averaging. About 1.5% or so of US cars are EVs. There are 290mil+ cars.

[chrome mirage]

Canada was trying to make EVs mandatory by next year but they recently put a pause on that

[nocturne flicker]

We just killed any and all EV subsidies

[chrome mirage]

And the hemi is back so no reason to go EV

Hellcat swap the world

[nocturne flicker]

Also we don't really have any major initiatives for public EV charging stations. And we cut our solar panel subsidies for individuals. And also cut the subsidies for farms to set up solar panels

[chrome mirage]

The trees need carbon and we can provide it

[nocturne flicker]

We are also selling off our protected forests and land to produce more fossil fuels and lumber

[lone mango]

Nuclear nuclear nuclear

[chrome mirage]

More carbon for Canada

[nocturne flicker]

250+ million acres for sale

About 47% of the entire state of Nevada is now for sale

[chrome mirage]

Didn't know they had trees there

[fresh timber]

14 pro

my birthday is over 🙁

so sad

[nocturne flicker]

Only about 15-16% of Nevada is considered forested, a lot of which is part of national forests. The national forest system has had 59% of the total acreage slated for accelerated logging and deforestation projects

Or something like 111mil acres

The rest of the land in Nevada will be up for sale for digging up oil, coal and natural gas and a little bit to real estate bros to set up multimillion dollar homes or rental homes that cost 3k a month to rent

But mostly just fossil fuels

[velvet summit]

i am a man who owns 3 multimeters

[nocturne flicker]

That is going to be more than the amount of protected forestland by 2027

[sinful blade]

I wish

[hoary zodiac]

You need three bench power supplies

[velvet summit]

i only have one

😔

[hoary zodiac]

Single output?

[velvet summit]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

Sadge

[velvet summit]

i just use it to test components like relays and lights

and use as a power source since im too lazy to grab batteries to test

[hoary zodiac]

It's practically the same thing if you're measuring from peak charge

[velvet summit]

tbh idek what i would do with multiple power supplies

wait did you mean single output as in single voltage or just one like

[hoary zodiac]

It's useful if your circuit has multiple sources

[velvet summit]

i lost my train of thought

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah single output

[velvet summit]

ah

but yeah i dont really test like boards, i dont do any pcb design or such

mainly just as a convenient source of dc power for whatever i'm testing

[hoary zodiac]

I just use my uni's power supplies

[velvet summit]

i just have it at my computer

at home lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Perks of being an engineering student

[lone mango]

I am kinda surprised how well toilet paper can clean thermal paste

[velvet summit]

you can use those like bench power supplies that are like worth a car

[lone mango]

Sweeps cotton swabs fr

[hoary zodiac]

Ebay and AliExpress are your best friend

[velvet summit]

cotton swabs are way too small

[hoary zodiac]

Although you'd want to watch out

For bombs

[lone mango]

Put a little 90% and it soaks it all up

[velvet summit]

i meant that unis have like really clean high amp high volt possible bench power supplies that you wouldnt reasonably have in a house

also you would have like

[hoary zodiac]

I mean most of the time you won't shouldn't be throwing a crap load of current into your circuit anyways

[velvet summit]

uhhh

damn what were they called again

[lone mango]

Do a dry pass to take off the bulk of the paste and then dabble a bit of alc to get the rest

[hoary zodiac]

At that point that's illegal

At least in Australia

[velvet summit]

every electrical lab would have it

[hoary zodiac]

I think the limit is 50v DC

[velvet summit]

it is like a fancier multimeter

but over time

how did i forget the name

bruh how did i actually forget

[hoary zodiac]

Bench multimeter?

Oscilloscope?

[velvet summit]

YEAH

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah you can measure AC

And it'd graph it

[velvet summit]

damn how did i completely forget the name of it

[hoary zodiac]

Freakishly expensive

[velvet summit]

but yeah you'll have those in the labs as well and they're quite useful

well, they can be cheaper

there are "cheap" ones that work well with like 4 channels

or 2

still like $600 though

[hoary zodiac]

Can't be cheaper than a multimeter

[velvet summit]

but cheap enough for a home electronic workshop

definitely not

[hoary zodiac]

Surely on the lower end you can just get a cheap bench multimeter

Or a handheld one

[velvet summit]

but way more useful for troubleshootin

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it's versatile

Especially if you're working with AC

It'd just be a linear line if it's measuring DC right?

[velvet summit]

also the reason why i have 3 multimeters now is because i dont have access to my other 2 and i want one to help my friend figure out why their car isnt starting (and also it's on sale)

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's useful to have multiple multimeters

[velvet summit]

they're all cheap
i will have 2 autoranging ones (both from astroai) and one manual (klein)

[hoary zodiac]

To measure whatever at different points at the same time

[velvet summit]

i probably wont need to do that tho

[hoary zodiac]

I usually end up using two multimeters so I can measure the voltage at one point and the current at another

[lone mango]

@upper rain Did I tell you I can do 200w on linux now

Because of the higher limit now I can do 2800 vram

Also I increased it and it boosted to just a little over 3.4 at 100% load

typically 3.4 is when it goes a little below 100%

[random osprey]

im so close to getting the green ranger

[craggy shoal]

Would y'all buy a 2080 Super for $250?

[sinful blade]

No

I’ll be a 2080ti for $230 at most

[craggy shoal]

Really? That’s the prices I'm seeing on FBMP

[sinful blade]

$210 on super

[craggy shoal]

What about a 2070 Super for $200? I assume not?

(I have these listed for sale btw, just for context)

[sinful blade]

Heck no

[craggy shoal]

Lmaooo I need to review prices then lol

[sinful blade]

You can get a 5700xt for $100 sometimes. And that’s right under it

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I have my 5700 listed for $150 I think 💀

$125* just checked

[sinful blade]

There’s a guy near me with a pulse 5700xt for $125, and he’s has it up for several months now

[craggy shoal]

Wow yikes. I'm almost thinking of just keeping these GPUs now. I feel like I have more use than selling them at an discount, given my current listings

Okay but somebody really tried trading their 1660 Ti for the 2070 Super 😭💀 no extra cash or anything lmao

[elfin mural]

tbh 5700xt should be 100 by now

imo

since 125 isn't even selling lol

[craggy shoal]

I feel like I've gotten nothing but low-intelligent people who want the GPUs. I’ve already sold most of the other parts I was selling (CPUs and cases) without any issue. Those people seem a lot brighter than the GPU people lol

[craggy shoal]

It's not even an XT 💀 I just have it listed way too high apparently

I thought I saw prices that high for a non-XT tbh

I might as well just keep these GPUs atp. I feel even just using them as test GPUs is better

I can use the 2070 Super and 2080 Super for AI if I wanted to

The 5700 is the only one worth selling but I guess it's like a $75 GPU at this point lol

Guess not

[elfin mural]

yeah

when I accidentally set the voltage to 100%

https://tenor.com/view/ah-it-appears-to-have-done-something-tiktok-meme-bottle-gif-25832589

[olive plaza]

Just a bit of extra ram

[craggy shoal]

Yeah just a little bit

[olive plaza]

Goes nicely with the two 5090's

[craggy shoal]

💀

[olive plaza]

what

[arctic lily]

not the 5090 saying 31gb

[craggy shoal]

Totally not overkill at all

[arctic lily]

but like why tho

[arctic lily]

costs so much money and for what

[olive plaza]

because why not

LLMs

AI

[arctic lily]

nice beard

[craggy shoal]

Do you combine the GPUs for AI? How do you do it?

[olive plaza]

AI workloads literally use as much GPU power as you can throw at it

[arctic lily]

and why not just get an rtx 6000 pro or whatever the newest one is

[olive plaza]

Great question

RTX Pro A6000 Blackwell is the one you're referring to

that's a fully unlocked 5090. bc believe it or not, some of the cuda cores are locked on a 5090

[arctic lily]

and also if you got a crypto mining rig those things have 8 gpu slots, 8 5090's

[olive plaza]

and the A6000 Blackwell has 96GB VRAM

But one A6000 Blackwell is $12K street pricing

two 5090's combined, have close to 70% higher AI TOPS than one A6000 Blackwell

like, I can build this entire PC for the cost of one A6000 Blackwell

[arctic lily]

ok

[olive plaza]

and have 70% more AI performance

[arctic lily]

me just existing wanting a better cpu

and this guy builds a dual 5090 build

[olive plaza]

it's not for me

[arctic lily]

customer build?

[olive plaza]

my day job is going to be offering this build on Newegg for sale

[arctic lily]

nice

[olive plaza]

I just get to build one for testing purposes

[arctic lily]

I would also build pcs if i had initial funding lol

[olive plaza]

because we had to make sure, you know, the case would actually fit two 5090's

and that they'd run without overheating

[arctic lily]

yup

[royal crow]

ey, fellow s25+ user

[olive plaza]

s24+ but close

[royal crow]

ah

[arctic lily]

what speed is the ram at

[royal crow]

camera rings looked liked 5

[arctic lily]

not the phone the pc

[olive plaza]

its the same camera setup I'm pretty sure

i'm running CPU-Z to check the ram speed hang on

[arctic lily]

what

just go in task manager

[olive plaza]

it didn't show in task manager

[arctic lily]

well thats weird

[olive plaza]

the default speed rn which is 3600MT/s

Guys I literally wrote an article on Newegg about Ryzen and RAM speed

freaking read lol

[arctic lily]

lol I aint checking that

I dont go to newegg to read articles

[olive plaza]

it's on the Newegg gamer community forum

[arctic lily]

i go there to remind myself what I want lol

[olive plaza]

I'll try setting expo and see what happens

probably won't work but it's worth a shot

[arctic lily]

itll just not boot

cmos reset incoming

[olive plaza]

I mean it's gonna take upwards of 20 minutes for ram training

so we won't know for a little while if it worked or not

[arctic lily]

if that does work then do it

bet

[olive plaza]

but to summarize what my article said basically, AMD hasn't updated the memory controller on Ryzen since they launched socket AM5... in 2022

when it launched, they only officially allowed 4 sticks at 3600MT/sec. cuz it's a first gen DDR5 product

Believe it or not that's also the speed for Intel 12th gen on DDR5

try running 4 sticks on that and you'll find out

That said funny enough 4x 32GB seems to be the hardest to run in my testing

I've foudn 4x 48GB and 4x 64GB to be more likely to work

[arctic lily]

interesting

[olive plaza]

Oh, well we're already back at the desktop

[arctic lily]

my friend tried running 4x16 with his 7600x and the best I could get it to was 5000 mts

it was a 6000 mts

[olive plaza]

Yeah we're at 5200

[arctic lily]

so i convinced him to return them and 2x32

and he did

easy 6000 mts

[olive plaza]

The max speed of the individual sticks means almost nothing

[arctic lily]

note this is gskill trident z5 neo

and he doenst like the empty slots so yknow what he does

he gets corsair vengeance dummy dimms

🤣

[olive plaza]

amazing

he'd rather have mismatched RGB than only 2 sticks

[arctic lily]

yup

[olive plaza]

that's dedication

to the wrong cause

[arctic lily]

hey at least it all lights up

[olive plaza]

Z5 Neo is some of the best ram for Ryzen

[arctic lily]

cool

[olive plaza]

so that was a good call

[arctic lily]

thanks I picked out his parts

of course letting him choose some looks related parts

[olive plaza]

Regular Z5 is only XMP, not EXPO. Z5 Neo has the Expo timings

[arctic lily]

with his budget then i built it for him

[arctic lily]

even better, when he had the 4x16 it was non neo

i bought one kit from him and he sold the other to get the 2x32 neo which was at a good price at the time

so i got his 2x16 z5

[olive plaza]

and ur using that with your 13400

good deal

I'm wondering. because obviously AMD is behind on memory speeds and stuff now

I wonder if they're gonna update the memory controller on Socket AM5 or if we're gonna get a whole new socket

because right now AMD doesn't have any CU-DIMM support, so even if the memory controller was amazing, we'd still be limited due to signaling issues at somewhere around 7200MT/sec

[arctic lily]

it might be like what happened with z690, z790 came out same socket but both ddr4 and 5

[olive plaza]

Z690 and Z790 are the exact same thing, just Z790 has a few more PCIe5 lanes and default 13th gen support

[arctic lily]

so like am5.5

better ddr5

[olive plaza]

there are DDR4 and DDR5 boards for both Z690 and Z790

[arctic lily]

i'm aware

[olive plaza]

theoretically Z790 has better ram support

[arctic lily]

im comparing them saying maybe therell be a better am5

[olive plaza]

AMD has done that in the past

We got Socket AM2+

AM3+

[arctic lily]

well then maybe theyll do it again

like with the b450 and b550

b650 to b850

x870 maybe to x970

or smth

[olive plaza]

As long as they keep it relatively easy to understand

[arctic lily]

x1070 💀

[olive plaza]

like on a nintendo DS how the 3DS cartridges are almost the same size but there's a notch so you can't insert them in an original DS

if they had it keyed

[arctic lily]

yea

[olive plaza]

they did kind of a bad job with that back in the socket AM3 days

AM3+ CPUs were the original FX chips. like the FX 6100

and they would fit into Socket AM3 motherboards, but the motherboard would need a bios update to run it. and some boards never got the updates

[craggy shoal]

lol I still have my FX 8350

[olive plaza]

AMD was flailing around from like 2011 to 2016 fr

doing nothing good

I like how an FX 8350 is typically beaten by a Core i5 2500K

[craggy shoal]

Then Lisa Su came in to take over AMD. Two years later, Ryzen was a thing and it revived AMD

[random osprey]

most recent was beavis and butt head, before that it was gorillaz

[craggy shoal]

Complains about fortnite

[arctic lily]

plays it still

[pliant berry]

sounds like me with overwatch

[random osprey]

literally every gaming community

[pliant berry]

the only one I truly refuse to ever play again is league

[craggy shoal]

Like bruh just grow up and understand that you'll lose every once in a while lol

[arctic lily]

nah people like me that play space marines 2 love the game and play it too

[random osprey]

literally every gaming community

[arctic lily]

how can both mentalities be every community im confused

i hate this game and play it
i love this game and play it

[random osprey]

yes

[pliant berry]

yes

[random osprey]

literally how so many games are and are still even alive

[arctic lily]

bruh

[random osprey]

overwatch is a prime example of that mentality

[pliant berry]

so anyone try out silksong yet

[craggy shoal]

I don't get the hype for silksong tbh

[random osprey]

still have yet to play hollow knight but will probably get to it during winter sale on steam, then ill get silksong

[pliant berry]

both are pretty fun to play. love the fights

[random osprey]

hollow knight is good game so hype for silk song is big cause of how long it was in development plus there was no talks about it being developed so fans were really hyped

[craggy shoal]

Same dev?

[random osprey]

roughly 6 years of silence then boom, silk song

ye

dev of 3 people

[craggy shoal]

ahhh I see

[random osprey]

and some outsourcing for some stuff

[craggy shoal]

I was like "uhhh is this not just a regular indie 2D platformer?" Like don't get me wrong I prefer indies over AAA games in this climate, but I didn't get the hype for this game for a second lol

[random osprey]

will say, a lot of the hype is also being built off of the hype of the actual fans of hollow knight

like elden ring kind of hype. core audience getting hyped and then bunch of other people new to the game are wondering what the hype is and getting hyped as well

[pliant berry]

there is an awful lot of hype but it is still a very well designed game

[craggy shoal]

That's why it makes sense to me, now that I know it's the same dev lol

[random osprey]

sliksong release also crashed steam for a bit, nintendo store, and psn/xbox store and it was the worst for them that they had to delay release

(delay release for psn and xbox)

[pliant berry]

wait is team cherry really only 3 people?

[random osprey]

believe so. thats what ive heard

[pliant berry]

I thought it was more than that ._.

[random osprey]

whelp, on the hollowknight wiki, i only see 4 people and one of them left in 2017

so it was more, then now 3

[pliant berry]

that's pretty crazy

[random osprey]

actual teamcherry website, its only 3 people

insane

also, 559,647 x $20 is 11.2mil

thats just steam, not incluiding the other consoles

obv not accounting for the cut that these platforms take from sales but still

11.2mil to split between 3 people is a bit nuts

[misty sparrow]

I don't get it either

I think all the hype came from the long wait and shit not from the actual game

[misty sparrow]

oh actually

at least 50mil just from Steam

[random osprey]

[rancid juniper]

If silksong was made with over 100 people (which is goofy) then the game's price will be over $40 for sure

Just to split earnings to everyone I'm guessing

[random osprey]

3 people is the dev team

[rancid juniper]

It's good enough

1 programmer + 2 artists can do stuff

[nocturne flicker]

Plus a contractor for music and one PR contractor

[rancid juniper]

Oh yes you're right, Christopher Larkin was put on again as the composer

[misty sparrow]

There was this one dude who in a piracy subreddit posted about how they pirated the game and there were comments from people insulting the dude because of it lmao

IMO the only indie game that deserves to be pirated is Factorio

because that shit never goes on sale

and if it does, only like two dollars off

[velvet summit]

anybody want to help me with filling out a spreadsheet
i need a total of 4 people for my lab

[nocturne flicker]

Ermagurd, you want to pirate one of the most sold indie game on steam whose profit only has to be divided up to 4 or 5 people?!?!? How dare!!!!!!!

[rancid juniper]

I mean I know the game is dummy cheap but if they don't have money in their pockets at all I can't directly be too mad about it

[misty sparrow]

actual insanity

[misty sparrow]

exactly, money shouldn't prevent you from experiencing culture

[rancid juniper]

Infact I feel like the devs would encourage this behavior just to get more eyes on it because eventually they will buy it

[random osprey]

tiktok 3.5hrs on phone. roughly 1 hr youtube on phone. anywhere from 5-8 hrs of youtube on pc

[misty sparrow]

there was this one southpark episode that had a B plot about the kids pirating music and they're taken on a tour of all the musicians who they pirated from to get them to not pirate

and one of them showed a musician from Led Zeppelin with the narration saying "Because people pirated his music, he cannot get a gold statue immediately and has to wait two weeks"

[rancid juniper]

That's just Nintendo games in a nutshell, they never go on sale either

[misty sparrow]

really a great commentary about piracy tbh

[random osprey]

oop wait, 3.5hrs tiktok is weekly for iphone stat, roughly 1 hour for the day

[velvet summit]

full time youtube watcher on god

[random osprey]

nah, full time youtube background noise enjoyer

[velvet summit]

oh

[rancid juniper]

Huh interesting

[misty sparrow]

bro is a human from wall-e 💀

[velvet summit]

idk how important age is, are you comfortable with sharing age or age range

[misty sparrow]

endless scrolling

[random osprey]

26

i think im 26

ye 26

[craggy shoal]

this guy had to confirm

[misty sparrow]

hm

you really did a double take on that huh

[nocturne flicker]

Old

[random osprey]

i always forgor if im a year older or the same age as the year we are in

[craggy shoal]

this guy thinks 26 is old 💀

[nocturne flicker]

(I'm 25)

[craggy shoal]

same

[random osprey]

but then i remember im a 90's kid. born 99

[nocturne flicker]

2000 was the superior year

[misty sparrow]

you're not really a 90s kid

just barely

you didn't actually experience the 90s

[random osprey]

only thing of the 90s i experienced was scooby doo 😔

[rancid juniper]

Gen Z lobby here

[misty sparrow]

i mean you were there for Y2K but you probably dont remember

[nocturne flicker]

I watched a lot of 90s stuff

Most of that was being rerun until the 2010s

Or late 2000s

[misty sparrow]

id rather be in the 90s than whatever fantasy we call the 2020s

[velvet summit]

anything work related, or like smart home devices used?

[velvet summit]

isn't dora also from the 90s

oh

it started in 2000

[nocturne flicker]

Spongebob was also 1999

[olive plaza]

"Chipotle is a big company, if I run out the door with my burrito and don't pay it's not a big deal"

[velvet summit]

damn they should've started airing dora in 99

smh

[rancid juniper]

💀

[misty sparrow]

there's probably more expenses in the food industry than games industry

not how this works

[random osprey]

nah. my phone is literally just for tiktok and youtube/music. dont have smart home devices

talk/text on the phone would be like 5 minutes a day and thats on a good day

[pliant berry]

my usage greatly varies but the past week I average
Phone: 4.5hrs per day
Computer: 3hrs per day

my highest usages for phone are:
Maps: 9.5hrs
YouTube: 4.7hrs
Waze: 2hrs
Browser: 2hrs
Game: 1hr
Text: 1hr

and Computer:
Browser: 4hrs
Photo Cataloger: 3hrs
Photo Editor: 2.5hrs

[nocturne flicker]

For the entire company's general bottom line, yes. For a franchisee? Maybe, depends on their margin. Also the game industry isn't the fast food industry which has much lower margins

[olive plaza]

Imagine defending piracy

[random osprey]

maps 9.5hrs

bro is rainbolt

trying to find everything

[pliant berry]

don't forget the 2hrs on waze

[velvet summit]

yeah cost of the food itself is going to be like a dollar for a fully wrapped burrito
plus chipotle is a franchise? i think? so, which also means it's the business owner footing the bill (or rather probably insurance for that franchise owner)

[dusk knot]

You think. Lok

[lethal jasper]

Mid after s2e2

[velvet summit]

bro knows every molucule in the ocean

[olive plaza]

Obviously there are differences between the fast food industry, and the game development industry. You all missed the point. Which is the idea that "Well, they made a lot of money, so if I steal it's no big deal"

[pliant berry]

the highest usage on Maps I've ever had on a week I think was 15-20hrs

[olive plaza]

The fact they're good at their jobs and made something a lot of people wanted doesn't justify stealing

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't a big deal for digital media

Digital media is made with the expectation that it will be stolen

[rancid juniper]

I'm pretty sure most indie devs crave more eyes on their work more than anything

That will help generate more sales anyways

[olive plaza]

True, and that's why a lot of times those indie games will go on sale for like 99c

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[olive plaza]

or they'll show up as a free item on Epic

I have close to 300 games on Epic because they keep giving away indie stuff

[dusk knot]

How many of those did you play?

[pliant berry]

I have gotten a lot of games for free on epic only to buy them on steam later because epic is just a pain lol

[nocturne flicker]

Well, when Epic does free stuff, it isn't exactly free. Epic pays the devs and publishers to make it free for a period

[olive plaza]

I at least tried every single one

Some of them I didn't click with

most of them

[rancid juniper]

If the developers care so much about profit then it shouldn't be on gamepass

• needs DRM

[nocturne flicker]

If the devs care so much about profit they should work in real estate

[olive plaza]

LOL

[nocturne flicker]

Free money for sitting on land

[rancid juniper]

Fr

[olive plaza]

real estate is so funny to me

Did you guys know Realtor is a trademark

[nocturne flicker]

Real estate isn't real, it is just a social construct we use to extract and exploit the most wealth out of people

[olive plaza]

it's like saying you're ASE certified at a mechanics shop

you pay to be that

even if you already know everything

same with Realtor

[nocturne flicker]

Imma form a real estate company, claim my parents have a home on land worth 3mil and try to sell it at that in the future and everyone will believe me because real estate company big mones big mones

[velvet summit]

here is a random case study
guy wants to do a high effort photoshop edit for a meme, and the free alternatives do not have a feature required that photoshop has, and photoshop only has a monthly or yearly subscription, because they did not buy a copy when they still had their lifetime license, and they do not have a free trial anymore (plus the versions that have a lifetime license are quite old and missing a bunch of features at this point)

would you pay for it even though you will not make a penny

worth nothing that it will cost adobe $0.00 because the "free" version is not hosted on their servers

[olive plaza]

Most people who are in that exact scenario will do one of two things

either they make a burner email account to get another free trial

or the meme is for work - like they're in marketing - so they do have a paid license

[royal crow]

idk what was in my coffee but everything is rlly bright and my 60hz monitor looks slow

i can legit see it refresh

[velvet summit]

fent

[pliant berry]

for memes though I can't really think of anything photoshop would have that you can't just use gimp for

[olive plaza]

you can see it more in your peripheral vision

[rancid juniper]

Oh boy

[dusk knot]

It's 60hz

[olive plaza]

like, look off to the side and you'll see the 60Hz in full form

[velvet summit]

bro activated the quick time event

[royal crow]

ong idk what it is but ur right

[nocturne flicker]

Software subscriptions are legal theft anyways. I'd tolerate a new edition you can purchase every couple of years for new and update features like Office used to be

[olive plaza]

software subscriptions are legal theft just like windows licenses, property taxes, and car registration

[pliant berry]

tbh sometimes I wish some software had subscriptions. like recently I needed to use an audio software to clean up a messy recording but the software costs 1300usd for a lifetime license and they have no subscription for that version. my only 2 options are pay 1300usd for this one job or make a new account and hopefully finish using the software by the time the trial ends in 10 days

[velvet summit]

you know what
i dont mind property tax, because it helps pay for public infrastructure

at least over here

[nocturne flicker]

Windows licenses are overpriced agreements allowing Microsoft to collect and sell your info, property taxes have actual use and car registration does as well even if it is annoying

[velvet summit]

idk what they do with the tax in the states

because it sure as hell doesnt seem to benefit the average american

[nocturne flicker]

Property taxes pay for our local schools

[olive plaza]

There's no transparency

[velvet summit]

all of my US friends went to the most rundown american schools possible

[pliant berry]

the theft is in the budgeting of that tax money. at least here lol. so much waste on functionally useless job positions

[velvet summit]

i dont think that much is going into the local school

[nocturne flicker]

Our schools primarily get their funding through property taxes

[velvet summit]

hell, during the devious lick time, one of my friends has had the bathrooms all boarded up to prevent kids from going to the bathroom

how is that a solution

[nocturne flicker]

Public schools also generally have budgets approved by the community

[velvet summit]

how big is the budget per school for your area

[nocturne flicker]

So if your community doesn't care about funding the school or your property values are low, the school gets worse. And worse schools result in more poverty and areas with high poverty see property values go down which reduced property taxes

[misty sparrow]

oh yeah by the way @olive plaza if I could, I'd also pirate Chipotle burritos

they always seem to skimp out on the portion sizes

[pliant berry]

for us i don't even know but right when I left they managed to waste 50m on some of the most useless crap

[olive plaza]

That heavily depends on the individual location and worker honestly

I went to chipotle in Minneapolis weekend before last and my friend's burrito looked more like a large taco

[misty sparrow]

it's like nine dollars for a burrito no drink included

[olive plaza]

then I go here and it's giant

[misty sparrow]

and it's not filling at all

[velvet summit]

oh yeah you didn't mention age or age range, need that for the 2nd part of the lab to see how and if age is a factor in usage

[pliant berry]

oh yeah it's 22

[velvet summit]

alright thanks

[nocturne flicker]

Well Knox County, which is nearby, has property taxes. The Knox County explicitly posts how the property taxes are distributed. For every $100 in property value, there is a $1.554 tax, which gets split between funding the local gov't, paying local gov't debt and paying the local schools. 25% of the tax goes directly to schools, 33% to paying the debt and the rest for funding the local gov't

[misty sparrow]

oh yeah btw id help you out with the study but my screentime tracker is never really correct, sometimes it'll say four hours a day but i go to see how much time i actually spent and it doesn't add up

[velvet summit]

lmao

[misty sparrow]

one day it said 6h 40min but at most it adds up to twenty minutes of time that day

i dont know what the problem is

[velvet summit]

[misty sparrow]

misinformation

[pliant berry]

lol

I just assumed that was standby time or something.

[misty sparrow]

what the hell

28 hours?

how the hell does it even go over 24 per day

[pliant berry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[nocturne flicker]

Incorporated areas in my county is generally similar except my county more explicitly defines how they divy it up. $1.49 for every $100 in value, 47c to schools, 67c to a general fund, 9c to paying debt, 13c to highway and public works, 10c to sanitation and 3c to a general capital projects fund

[pliant berry]

Yeah i just assumed the grey area is like standby for the device or something idk

[misty sparrow]

makes absolutely no sense

[nocturne flicker]

The general capital projects fund is actually funding for the school too so it is more like 50c to the school except 3c goes towards buildings and the school vehicles

For this year atleast

We also have an expansive budget for all of it explaining what is being spent on what for the current year

[misty sparrow]

oh you know what

maybe it's background usage

like when the phone is locked

[pliant berry]

yeah maybe

[nocturne flicker]

In short, the entire county paid a grand total of 74.1mil for the entire school budget for the entire county

[velvet summit]

how big is a county again

[royal crow]

about 42,000,000 hamburgers long

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/black-guy-woah-gif-21662843

google ai says 93 schools in knox county

wikipedia says 94

[nocturne flicker]

However large the governing body wants the county to be

My county, which is not Knox county, has something like 57k people and has 13 schools in the school district

[velvet summit]

oh

about 5.7m per school on average then

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah about that

Knox county has the largest nearby city

And 500k people live in the county

[velvet summit]

seems like yall have a higher budget per school currency converted
though your schools are probably bigger than ours

this was for last year's budget, averaged (highschools normally would get more budget, elementary gets less)

the school board for the region had a budget of 1.6 billion for 215 schools

majority of our schools is single floor though

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind our schools have issues where materials are terribly priced. Also budgets differ for each school district, each county and each state

[velvet summit]

we had 130k students across 215 schools

so around 604 students per school

on average

so each student would get like $12k? of funding basically all taxpayer dollars

or actually, all taxpayer dollars since you dont pay for school at all

[pliant berry]

bro my graduating high school class had at least ~1000 students alone xD

[velvet summit]

my graduating class had like 60

[pliant berry]

[nocturne flicker]

For example, my school district in the town I was raised in northern NY had a higher average budget. In my senior year, our school district had a total budget of $41mil for a district containing 5 schools and about 1999 students

[royal crow]

wsp

[lone ibex]

about 1999

oddly specific

[nocturne flicker]

At the same time, the school district in the county I live in now has a little over 3 times the schools, services about 6850 students and doesn't even have double the budget

[velvet summit]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[nocturne flicker]

I said about because I remember at least one person dropping out in senior year, so it wouldn't have been exactly 1999

[velvet summit]

Actually it is 4 schools

I graduated from highschool in 2011 in a small town up north in NY. We probably are not very far away from one another lol.

[nocturne flicker]

Also my graduating class had exactly 126 in it at grad.

I was in a hamlet about 10 or so minutes outside Plattsburgh

[nocturne flicker]

[lone ibex]

@rigid sinew how was ur weekend

[proud jackal]

Do I need it

[nocturne flicker]

Was not top 10%

[proud jackal]

[tranquil pebble]

I got the president award at graduation.

idk what it means but meh

[nocturne flicker]

Though we had 2 early grad students in our year so technically it was 124

[tranquil pebble]

That is still really solid

[rigid sinew]

it was good, i did a lot of deep cleaning, wby?

[dusk knot]

I wonder what a 8tb game would look like

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc correctly I got that once when I was leaving Elementary School. During the Obama years

[lone ibex]

I was sick all weekend. Thanks btw

Hoping today or tomorrow is the end of that

[tranquil pebble]

like current games but higher res, and probably disappointing

[nocturne flicker]

You had to have something like a 90% average

[rigid sinew]

oh no! i hope you get better 🙁 i have to go to the dentist today so i will also be sick by tomorrow lmao

how many total in the highscool

[fresh timber]

thats tiny

[tranquil pebble]

I was not able to learn it, so I stopped trying so I could focus on what I could do. There is a good chance I would have failed out otherwise.

[velvet summit]

my highschool had like 800 students total (grade 9-12)

[fresh timber]

my graduatiing class was 1100 kids

yours is small

[velvet summit]

we don't even have middle school

[tranquil pebble]

I was getting 0s on tests and stuff even with studying.

[velvet summit]

elementary school is kindergarten - grade 8

[fresh timber]

i passed highschool with studying atleast 5 days the entire 4 years

[tranquil pebble]

Had I learned some in elementary school, that would not have happened

[fresh timber]

im a ghost 😭

bye

bye casper

[olive plaza]

Vex you're funny. Hope you eventually learn to be happy with yourself instead of requiring validation from others

[velvet summit]

it's nearly impossible to fail highschool here unless you skip every class

[tranquil pebble]

goes to grade 6 where I am. 7 and 8 being called jr high. and 9 to 12 highschool

[velvet summit]

and don't do any assignments

if you do all the work even with no studying you'll get like a higher than average grade

[nocturne flicker]

593

[velvet summit]

the problem is alot of kids like to skip school

[tranquil pebble]

seems reasonable when you consider the average student lol

[tranquil pebble]

I never did that.

[velvet summit]

DAMN one third all gone

yeah me neither

i mean

tbf i didnt do much better than the people skipping

i was just playing games or making music on my laptop

[nocturne flicker]

A fifth

[velvet summit]

and they had to let me use a laptop because i can't do handwriting

[nocturne flicker]

Too late imo

Next gen cards gonna come in like a year and a half

If intel releases before them again it’s even sooner

[nocturne flicker]

Imagine finally selling your high end skus a year after the initial release of your gpu lineup

It is supposed to be the other way around

[lone mango]

And then the next year it gets swept by their own next gen

[nocturne flicker]

You release the really low end stuff late so everyone is shunted into the more expensive higher end cards

[rancid juniper]

Sadge

But true

Intel should've released the rest of the BM lineup earlier this year bro this company is legit stupid

[nocturne flicker]

Always has been

[nocturne flicker]

They shut off the brain 15 years ago

[rancid juniper]

4 cores daily

[nocturne flicker]

Intel is operating at .15ghz clock speed boost

[rancid juniper]

14nm+++++++++++++++

[lone mango]

I remember seeing 14nm+++ for a cpu on their spec sheet website a while ago

They did it to themselves

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/intel-cfo-confirms-that-14a-will-be-more-expensive-to-use-than-18a-intel-expects-14a-fabrication-process-to-offer-15-20-percent-better-performance-per-watt-or-25-35-percent-lower-power-consumption-compared-to-18a

Ok so now we move on to 14a

I mean someone from intel basically said something similar earlier, where the team wanted to move on to 14a

The intel rat race continues

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, eventually they'll release 4a

After they cancel everything before it

2050: We are releasing our first ever semiconductors on the 4A process

If you don't buy it we are shutting down our fabs

[lone mango]

Or maybe I just think that because intel is announcing basically anything they can to show people they are fabbing

These companies are years ahead of us

It still seems like they are spearheading 14a though

[nocturne flicker]

They literally said if no one is going to buy or express interest in buying 14a they are just going to cancel it and every other future projects for it

[north crescent]

It got a display, red, blue, and maybe even green depending on display color. Seems legit

https://tenor.com/view/gecko-cherry-lizard-reptile-cute-gif-9434898787563817780

And announcing anything related to it

[misty sparrow]

TFW you got 8TB for more than the price of two 4TB drives

[lone mango]

Man working there must feel pointless

[nocturne flicker]

Being an engineer there really must feel pointless

Imagine you are designing these nodes with a team and they both get scrapped

But it fits in one spot instead of two

We're currently investigating an issue where certain servers are inaccessible to some users. We hope to have everything back up and running soon.

OP got banned by XBOX by using Helldivers slang

X · Sep 8, 2025, 4:44 AM

dont use Xbox LFG FYI

the moderation of it is a joke

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

the worst part is that it affects the rest of Xbox if you get an enforcement on that

and they do not apparently tell you what rule you broke

[misty sparrow]

The rules on VC and community features on consoles are so strict now, no wonder people barely use them

Can’t even say any swear words without getting a mute

[sinful blade]

Destiny 2 OST is best OST

[misty sparrow]

oh yeah @rancid juniper I’m getting the same frame dips and stutters at 1080p on same settings in SH2

game is just screwy

I did turn DLSS off though

[rancid juniper]

theres no fixing it unfortunately

this is one of those cases with UE5 titles

[sinful blade]

https://youtu.be/3z2NxnW7zng?feature=shared

Listen to these

[misty sparrow]

It’s funny because I really want to play and experience SH2 but it’s so stuttery it’s crazy

I’m glad I didn’t buy it because if I did, I’d be past the refund limit

Probably spent most of the playtime adjusting settings than actually playing

[north crescent]

Note that Steam's 2hr limit is just for guaranteed refunds. If you're over that then you can explain and likely get a refund if it's a case like SH2

[misty sparrow]

oh really?

I honestly don’t know how much I’ve played TBH it doesn’t tell me for nonsteam games

[north crescent]

Well at least use to be like that. I imagine it still should be. Tho I've never refunded a game or had friends that have, so cant say with 100% certainty

[lone mango]

I refunded assetto corsa after 2.1 hours

[misty sparrow]

Is silent hill 2 remake even a year old yet

[rancid juniper]

should've modded it, gets better from there

[lone mango]

I don’t have a wheel and controller kinda sucked

Trust me I was looking into modding

But gt7 controller is amazing

[hoary zodiac]

Red lightsabers are less efficient that blue lightsabers

RGB lightsabers when

[hoary zodiac]

Crimp your own

The crimping tool is probably the most expensive part

[lone mango]

I don’t have any high speed ones I think

I actually don’t even know where those are

[hoary zodiac]

It's just copper

[lone mango]

Lol I know

[hoary zodiac]

The good thing about crimping your own is that you don't have stupid cable lengths

[velvet summit]

still working as recent as like a year ago
though obviously not guaranteed, but you still have a decent chance as long as you have a good reason

[hoary zodiac]

Although it's only a worthwhile investment if you have a crap ton of cables
