#

Wow thats nice

#

You don’t need super then

#

That’s a lot of headroom on these 5080s, which makes me think they intentionally did this to have the supers lead ahead by limiting the base cards

Yeah, it gets better performance in games I play unfortunately

#

probably the number 1, biggest issue... and you can not expand even the internal storage

#

which also means that some methods of drive cloning are also... entirely unavailable with Mac

#

@dusk knot I have the game on switch emu, so if you wanna splitscreen then parsec may be it

#

tranquil pebble
#

I would only get a Mac if I wanted to develop for it or iOS...

#

Par……….sec

rancid juniper

#

anyways i hope linux gets even better with more software support like anti-cheat. Especially better gaming performance

#

I'd definitely switch immediately

dusk knot
#

It will happen

rancid juniper
#

it will take time though

tranquil pebble
rancid juniper
#

yea, $70 base for a kart game is just an immediate no for me

#

seriously you can get like 5-10 games for the same price if you like to save $$$

rancid juniper
#

i once purchased SF6 at launch for $40 (most expensive ive purchased a SINGLE game) and I felt really wack

#

like its fun but damn so much dollahs

for 5 launch titles you could have built a custom cheap pc to upgrade later or bought a used console

#

wrong screencap

#

This game is from 10 years ago

#

and these companies wonder why piracy is rampant

rancid juniper
#

same companies that would shut down studios because "their game is not making enough"

#

dunno bro look at YOUR PRICES!?!?!?!?

misty sparrow
#

Factorio is making indies look bad

#

$35 for base, $35 for the expansion

dusk knot
#

Much better

rancid juniper
#

Silksong was listed for $20 and some indie devs were fuming

#

think about that...

misty sparrow
#

"dont pirate indies muhhh"

rancid juniper
misty sparrow
#

what if the indie devs themselves are greedy

#

they can be greedy too

dusk knot
rancid juniper
#

fr

#

just because they're indie doesn't make them "good"

misty sparrow
#

on a sale factorio only gets $5 off at most

#

same with expansion

rancid juniper
dusk knot
#

Stem

worthy meteor
#

it's against their policy

tranquil pebble
rancid juniper
worthy meteor
#

the $5 was because they were changing their price after 1.0

tranquil pebble
#

No Man's Sky

worthy meteor
#

not because they went on sale

rancid juniper
dusk knot
#

Alright

worthy meteor
rancid juniper
#

fair price huh

#

😳

dusk knot
#

$80

misty sparrow
#

oh wow

#

literally no sales

rancid juniper
#

this is giving me nintendo vibes when they priced that weird launch title for the switch 2

#

manual ah game

#

should've been free

worthy meteor
#

Factorio has been supported for years and years, although I would say the Space Age DLC pricing is a bit high

misty sparrow
#

yeah when it comes to people talking about pricing they gloss over factorio for some reason

rancid juniper
#

i mean there are worse products out there
ahem, star scamizen

worthy meteor
#

I really do think $35 is a very fair price for the base game

#

if Space Age was $25 or less instead of $35 it would've been fine

#

but the devs did talk about how they wanted it to be like Factorio 2.0

rancid juniper
#

i mean, everyone looks at prices differently. Some will buy immediately others will hesitate, as long as the game is fun for the consumer (if they like it) it doesn't bother me ig

misty sparrow
#

I think that the price of something should go down based on its age

#

At least ONE sale

rancid juniper
#

oh yea definitely

proud jackal
rancid juniper
#

look at this

proud jackal
#

which route do we take

rancid juniper
#

A 2016 game

#

why is it still $60??

worthy meteor
rancid juniper
worthy meteor
#

The price should be a fair representation of what the game offers

#

nothing more, nothing less

worthy meteor
misty sparrow
rancid juniper
#

😔

misty sparrow
#

Indie or not

worthy meteor
#

It's like a MMO with subscription prices

#

except one time purchase

misty sparrow
#

And let me guess, are they gonna put that extra content behind a paywall like with Space Age?

worthy meteor
#

Nope, original still got updated along with Space Age

#

They added highly request train features to the base game when Space Age came out

#

Although at this point the base game shouldn't have any more price increases

misty sparrow
#

Well that's good

#

Hopefully it shouldn't get a higher price increase

worthy meteor
#

I feel like the Space Age pricing might be the devs being optimistic for what they'll add long term but the DLC price is too high tbh

misty sparrow
#

Yeah, buying Factorio + Space Age is $70, price of a full AAA game

#

Although you'd probably get more content out of Factorio, still way too high

worthy meteor
#

Factorio for $35 is a fair price

#

Space age is ehhhh

misty sparrow
#

Okay yeah Factorio is good for $35 (no sale is a punch in the nuts though)

#

Space Age being same price is crazy

rancid juniper
#

i heard this is a very good game

#

might put this on a list for later

misty sparrow
#

apparently it is yeah

#

pretty sure on a sale it drops higher than $19 though

rancid juniper
#

i see

#

isn't temtem kinda dead tho?

but neither would do what a full size blender could do

#

u guys think that 80 is a good price for quadcast s

velvet summit
#

Quadcast kit (with stand) is probably only worth buying at like 50

#

Oh it doesn't have an option with a boom stand

dense locust
#

I paid $20 for my quadcast s

velvet summit
#

Idk, it's pretty much the quality as most other mics around the 40 ish dollar mark

dense locust
#

Can’t go that far with usb mics

for 20

velvet summit

Probably second hand

dense locust
#

Price error

velvet summit
#

Oh

dense locust
#

Target

velvet summit
#

Speaking of price error, that happened with the hd800s

#

I forget where but they missed like the 1 in the price
Making it like 600 dollars

#

Instead of 1600

worldly vault
#

i'm dropping 100 for th mic and a boom arm should i cancel the order

velvet summit
#

I forget what the price was but it was a pretty big discount, and Sennheiser honored the price

dense locust
#

A real mic setup is hundreds of dollars

#

Just get the usb mic it’s good enough

velvet summit
#

My mic setup was 300 cad

dense locust
#

That’s like $3 usd

worldly vault
#

yeah i don't need nothing insane rn

velvet summit
#

Scarlett solo 3st gen and sm57

#

And Amazon basics XLR cable

dense locust
#

I can connect the mic to my iPad

nocturne flicker
velvet summit
#

For $100 usd you might be around the budget range of being able to get a cheap XLR interface and cheap XLR mic

waxen saddle
#

My computer screen just froze and put me into bios is this a concern?

velvet summit
#

Main benefit over usb mics is you can upgrade it piece by piece

velvet summit
#

Might just be windows

dense locust
#

Or the storage drive

waxen saddle
velvet summit
#

I said boot not reboot

waxen saddle
#

Oh

velvet summit
#

It won't reboot by itself

waxen saddle
#

This stuff happens to me like every few months so it’s not frequent

velvet summit
#

Definitely some crash of some form
No idea what cause but it could be anything from something memory related to windows or the storage drive

#

Or something else entirely

#

I don't think it's a huge concern but it's worth remembering to save often
And see if the crash logs have any information at all

dense locust
#

Could be the drive starting to fail

I dunno, just don't paint the heatsink or fans and you should be fine

ashen swan

Wait

#

Isn’t the heatsink the outer part

nocturne flicker
#

The heat sink is the block of metal with fins and a couple of tubes going through it that takes heat from the gpu to be radiated and cooled by the fan air flow

#

The shroud is the outer bit covering the heatsink in the front that has cutouts for the fans

ashen swan
#

Ah

So as long as I don’t paint the shell

The fans my b

#

I’m fine

#

Correct?

nocturne flicker
#

Painting the shroud is fine. The metal heatsink and fans won't be

ashen swan
#

Alr

nocturne flicker
#

Paint on the heatsink would reduce the capability for heat to be radiated and cooled, painting the fans may impact the air flow and pressure of the fans

please guys, does anybody know how to delete ALL data from an installed program on windows?

elfin mural
#

it's complicated

but you gotta dig into appdata

and delete the data that's saved in there

#

some programs even save settings in the registry

fair onyx
#

yeah, thats what I am worried about

#

sighhhh

elfin mural
#

some is simpler, they store in program files

#

but overall it's a random mess sadly

fair onyx
#

I need to delete EVERYTHING related to guilded off my damn PC

#

I used wiz tree and looked up anything to do with guilded and nuked it all, and it didn't work

nothing is left on any of my PC drives

Ok, found something in my registry. Please for the love of god let it work

I'm gonna pull my hair out if not

#

IT DIDN'T WORK GOD DAMN IT

#

@elfin muralPLEASE

what else could I POSSIBLY need to locate?

elfin mural
#

I have no idea honestly

#

Gotta look up guilded specific files

fair onyx
#

I have looked up everything on every single drive. There is NOTHING left

#

I don't know what the hell to do

#

@elfin mural do I need to restart for registry changes?

elfin mural
#

Registry changes often require a restart, yes

#

Or at the very least log out and log in

fair onyx
#

I got timed out lmao

#

thankfully, I solved it

#

thank you so much @elfin mural

#

Uhhhh... Huh

I have another quick question. My PC's case fans are running on reverse PWM, and I have no idea how.

The higher the fan target, the slower they spin. On silent they are at 3200 RPM and loud as hell. At "Full speed" they are only 500RPM and completely silent. The more relaxed the curve, the more they spin. The more aggressive, the slower they spin

#

My PC has been a lead blower for like 2 weeks and I thought it was FanContol the program, but it's actually been my motherboard fan controller

#

my room is so silent not, its kinda eerie... lol

elfin mural
#

That sounds off

#

It's either a fan issue or the bios is controlling the fans incorrectly

#

Or maybe a board issue

What's funny is you can get 70 fps with a 1060 6GB with low settings and fsr balanced at 1080P so I really don't know why they played it so "safe" with system requirements

#

Because they are definitely stretching it a bit

#

But in the opposite direction most companies do for minimum requirements

#

Even the 1650 gets 60 fps at FSR performance in 1080P, which isn't the best way to play, but wouldn't that be more of that "minimum requirements" setting?

#

I think they don't want to put 10 series because after this month they won't be updated anymore. But then why not put 16 series since they're also turing?

#

1650 is a much more representative minimum requirements GPU.

#

According to StatCounter GlobalStats, the market share for linux was plateaued for months and went down this month for desktopsderpyBlob

lone mango
#

It is weird because it is always moving around so much

#

Even though more people literally are switching

#

Linux wont get big though

nocturne flicker
#

Though there is an unknown bar on that same graph

lone mango
#

Just a decent amount of gamers that are aware enough to switch over

nocturne flicker
lone mango
#

Most gamers will accept the microsoft dogma and normies dont even know what linux is

lone mango
#

If I had to guess though

#

Probably some of that are linux distros that the counter is not catching as linux so it moves it to unknown

#

Since so many are made all the time

misty sparrow
#

maybe it's the people who added privacy features to their operating systems to prevent footprinting of their OS version

lone mango
#

Linux users are definitely the type to do that

#

because you dont need to do that with windows

#

look how many windows users there are

misty sparrow
#

i wonder if debloating windows will have it show up as unknown

#

like stripping the datagathering things out of there

#

Wait a minute

#

Who the heck is saying Win10 is not being updated return to Win7

#

Win11 users going back to Win10 then saying nah and going to Win7?

misty sparrow
#

wait

#

why's win7 getting a spike

#

it hasn't gotten security updates in over five years

nocturne flicker
#

So StatCounter uses a tracker on websites that allow it to basically check what your browser registers your OS as to count OS usagepepehmmm

frigid stag
lone mango
nocturne flicker
#

So Unknown is probably all the people blocking those trackers in their browsers so StatCounter can't get OS type and the Win7 surge is either a massive bot swarm posing as Win7 users or just due to a recent purge in the tracker usage causing the reporting to be skewed

lone mango
#

I guess if people are gonna use something not updated anymore, then they go back to the old and gold

lone mango
#

If I had to guess

#

Linux is probably more than what the linux line is

nocturne flicker
#

Most of the 10% of Unknown is probably going to be the adblocker crowd

nocturne flicker
#

Though my adblock still allows user-agents

lone mango
#

ok so for me it also shows linux and not unknown

worthy meteor
#

should've just used steam hardware survey smh

nocturne flicker
#

StatCounter is a larger pool of data than the SHS smh

lone mango
#

i got chrome mask and now it shows windows 10

worthy meteor
nocturne flicker
#

I can either look at a massively larger pool of data that can have more errors or I can look at data for a niche group of people that has a greater chance for bias

worthy meteor
#

I'm choosing the pool of more verifiable biased data over more unverifiable data

#

Although tbh steam hardware survey should be biased against Linux

nocturne flicker
#

The SHS is more biased against Mac than Linux

#

The September one has Linux at 2.68% with .04% growth since the previous one

#

And 95.4% Windows usage

And Mac is at 1.91%

That is why you use a surge protector

worthy meteor
#

It's not going to be damaged in the event of power loss with a suitable surge protector

#

Even without a surge protector, most PSUs have good enough protections built in to not be damaged

I’ve heard that components running at %100 and than dropping to 0% can damage them as well

The psu would love the extra juice for a fraction of a second

UPS is just for if you need it on during an outage such as if you are running a workload that'd be lost if it went down in the middle

i turned my psu off for a few hours and the lights flickered when it turned on from inrush

# forest oak I’ve heard that components running at %100 and than dropping to 0% can damage th...

not really
the main harm is when the power flickers because of a current surge
which is what a surge protector is for

you can save money by just getting a decent surge protector for your pc
UPS is only if you want to protect the files on your pc (windows doesnt really like sudden shutoffs and may corrupt if you're unlucky, and also if you forget to save a file and the pc shuts off, your work would be gone as well, or if you're in the middle of an autosave.... you might even corrupt the save)

#

but generally most people don't need a ups, just a surge protector is enough to protect your assets of actual value

#

you're better off having a nas and a bit of cloud storage for important files than a UPS

forest oak
velvet summit
#

they do, but they cost a whole lot more than just a plain old simple surge protector (make sure to actually get one that's decent like from tripp lite, which is owned by eaton or even apc owned by Schneider electrics
or even a whole-home surge protector is a good investment

#

then you will no longer need to buy a surge protector for every outlet

#

a good enough unit for a large home is around $200, and maybe another $200-400 to get an electrician to wire it in

#

lots of companies makes those

#

like eaton, siemens, scheider electric, etc.

#

(always have to sneak in a mention of siemens since they just have too good of a company name to not mention)

#

you cant tell me that the name of the company wasnt a factor in why companies decide to use their product

#

siemens is everywhere

#

they do everything from tires to electrical grid stuff (operator to tenants), industrial, to healthcare

#

to even damn airports

Forcing Honey to be another line works well for the second half of the poem but roses are red and I am groot do not go together like roses are red and violets are blue

Something that might make more sense with one of the lines would be

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I am Groot, and you are Groot too
