Since Radeon I gpus are useless for editing compared to Intel

[lone mango]

Wow it is over for opengl

I get more frames using zink instead of opengl in minecraft

[lone mango]

Not entirely, they can be used in renders

[ashen swan]

Is it me or am I just the person that talks about rumors or unreleased products

[ashen swan]

Hmm interesting

I haven’t been able to have my hands on it so I just need to take in info

[ashen swan]

B770 9700F ultra refresh some Asus products to name a few

Nova lake

Something odd I noticed at panther lake

The only last digit that overlaps is 70

For the top I gpu they used

Like

90

For ultra 5 they used 70

i saw a crazy one in the tiktok comments once

[gleaming sedge]

God FedEx is so bad. Package left Chicago 7 days ago and no update since

But it's been raining a little bit so they can't work due to weather, that's their normal terrible excuse anyways

[unreal trail]

dealing with same garbage, my package has been on a truck two days in a row now, they just decided not to deliver it

[gleaming sedge]

Family friend been trying to get the same package for almost a month and they finally said "no you need to come get it we won't deliver it" they said "no you are to deliver it as it's your job not ours and this is your fault not ours"

Time to shut that garbage company down already

[unreal trail]

post office is better than this tbh

[icy ore]

All of them are trash around here for real

UPS is the better of them but still not great

[waxen saddle]

why does my ssd lose space over time?

[velvet summit]

how is this holographic
it looks like a screen in a tube

[lone mango]

I have no clue what you mean

[waxen saddle]

the 1.57 number decreases over time as if something is taking up space on my ssd. my only guess is that as i play games data about the games is being saved but idk

[velvet summit]

you're not even 1/4 of the way full

you have no reason to be concerned about your storage space

[gleaming sedge]

as from a family of usps worker they can and can not be good anymore no most of the new people dont do anything plus the union sucks here along with screwing everyone besides the subs over. good company awful employees along with to much power given to wrong people

[lone mango]

You are probably not accounting for other downloads taking up space

Documents, downloads, pictures, videos, maybe on the desktop, updates

[waxen saddle]

imo on a new prebuillt

[waxen saddle]

i just want to know why i am losing space randomly

[velvet summit]

you're using your computer

you will lose some storage

[lone mango]

.

fr

[velvet summit]

you've only used about 260 gigabytes of your storage

[lone mango]

There are programs that show you what is taking up space
https://windirstat.net/
https://www.jam-software.com/treesize

[velvet summit]

wiztree is faster

[lone mango]

https://www.diskanalyzer.com/

[velvet summit]

idk if treesize is faster

[lone mango]

No clue

I have only used treesize and that was a couple times

[waxen saddle]

so is it just data from apps while i use the pc?

[velvet summit]

anything

updates downloads temporary files cache saves

files in recycling bin

[lone mango]

Yes

Things that you aren't accounting for

Maybe you save some things on the desktop, downloads folder, documents folder, pictures folder, videos folder, or updates, or temp files like he said, maybe in appdata

Those disk space analyzers can help you with your curiosity

Here is mine

[velvet summit]

i read temp files as "lamp files" and im like

[lone mango]

flatpak taking up 12.5 gigs

what the hell

[velvet summit]

on gah

[sinful blade]

I FIGURED OUT HDR ON MY MONITOR

only took me several weeks

[sinful blade]

That’s gonna be powered by grok

So uh

[proud jackal]

grok take off roomba's mod

[sinful blade]

At least you’re not doing it to a child
Which is what grok is doing

[proud jackal]

i would remove mod from a child

[dense locust]

Grok commit tax fraud

[proud jackal]

[sinful blade]

I’m so glad I’m not a Twitter user

[lone mango]

but it is from people doing the prompts and not like grok is doing it on its own

unless the other models wont do it and i dont know

[sinful blade]

Most models will not allow you to unclothe a child

[dense locust]

You can always trick if you try hard enough

Most try at least tho

[proud jackal]

wait WHAT

[elfin mural]

grok is uncensored, remember

but yeah good reason for me to just move to bluesky

[sinful blade]

@proud jackal

[lone mango]

thats crazy

[sinful blade]

In reference to unclothing a child or people not consenting to unsolicited pictures of them being made and spread

[elfin mural]

this is what happens to a llm when you leave it unrestrained

it's maximally bad

[sinful blade]

And train it on Twitter interactions

And white supremacy
And antisemitism
And Edgelordey stuff

[dense locust]

Blue sky is pretty dead

[elfin mural]

this is why this whole stuff needs to be regulated

[elfin mural]

i don't crave attention anyway on twitter

[sinful blade]

It’s alive
Just people forgot about it for a while

[elfin mural]

i just look at furry art

[lone mango]

also has a shitload of gooner content its crazy

i just dont do any social media at all

[dense locust]

None of the artists I follow use bsky

[elfin mural]

and browse for furry artists

[lone mango]

it is all shit

[sinful blade]

Don’t you have to enable that

[lone mango]

nah i dont even have an account

[elfin mural]

a lot of furry artists are on bluesky at the least

[sinful blade]

Same
I have Reddit for Reddit, and fbmp

[dense locust]

You can’t find these peak on bsky

[elfin mural]

but yeah most of the stuff on bsky is

admittedly adult themed lol

[unreal trail]

sounds like government lol

[elfin mural]

but im a legal adult so idm it

i just gotta be careful where im looking at those things in

that's all i will say

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-roll-neuro-sama-neuro-sama-gif-14651756129686377660

[sinful blade]

At least you won’t accidentally run into CSAM on blue sky

[elfin mural]

that's a good thing

[sinful blade]

Correct

[dense locust]

Japanese users don’t use bsky

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/MT5ad4esWbs?si=GrT_pnDjbbBkhJsN

[elfin mural]

ope

no wonder i was getting less performance

[dusk knot]

What do you have?

[lone mango]

ah

now they can sell cards with more ai perf

incredible

[elfin mural]

i run dlss 4.5

on 4050 in dying light the beast

i noticed less smoothness even with frame gen

like it was missing the 60 base mark

time to try preset K again then

preset M looks nice at the cost of perf

[acoustic palm]

wait

the new dlss is terrible for perf?

[elfin mural]

yeah

all the extra processing is robbing perf

[dense locust]

For any card below 5000

[elfin mural]

stuck on dlss 4 forever i guess

[dense locust]

Prob because they have less Ai cores or whatever

[acoustic palm]

insane

[elfin mural]

so nvidia still wanna sell gpus

yet the focus is on ai datacenters

i notice a weird conflict

[acoustic palm]

they need some fallback

😭

[elfin mural]

rolling out features that works best on the newest gpus

yet not wanting to give gamers gpus

[dense locust]

Well they don’t want to lose the revenue

[dusk knot]

Less fps with 4.5

💀

[lone mango]

ok

[dusk knot]

F

[lone mango]

he is doing that test on a 2060

so this might be a nothingburger

lol its like running fsr 4 on rdna 3

ight this is not good

even the 5090 has a small regression

[sinful blade]

A few frames for a solid upgrade is fine by me

In visual clarity*

[lone mango]

i guess what you could do is lower the preset

if u need to

[velvet summit]

i mean
not like twitter doesn't
though twitter probably has more active users so the ratio is less apparent

[lone mango]

except he is already using performance

yeah gooner stuff is everywhere but it is way worse on there

i clicked on a couple warframe posts and then went to the home page

shit was brutal fr

[velvet summit]

[lone mango]

it was wholesome when the session was new

[velvet summit]

i

[lone mango]

some art of the nighttime and some wholesome picture

[misty sparrow]

is it true that they are trying to bring back the 3060 lol

somebody told me that

[elfin mural]

could be true, could not

who knows these days ngl

but if ya ask me, it's 50/50

plausible but also kinda not

[sinful blade]

Wooooo

[proud jackal]

rich

[sinful blade]

It was $34

[elfin mural]

yikes

dlss 4.5 is causing my 4050 to not get 60 fps base fps

Next time. Don’t.

[rancid juniper]

perhaps

[opaque sedge]

6080 for sure

[misty sparrow]

how much was it

[proud jackal]

wonder if it will run well on my pc

[rancid juniper]

(bro is gonna hesitate again)

[opaque sedge]

999 for an asus prime non oc

[rancid juniper]

im pretty sure it should run better on a 5090 pc mhmm mhmm

[nocturne flicker]

Born with a silver spoon, lucked out into money, head of a cult of personality, is mainly in the position they are in due to grifting off government support and blows up everything by showing off how dumb they actually are when people actually scrutinize their actions?

[proud jackal]

i have to support jeff bezos somehow

[opaque sedge]

Yeah u need ray reconstruction to make rt or pt look good

[elfin mural]

for some reason preset K seems to have less shimmering on my config in dying light the beast

yeah the perf cost isn't even worth what im sacrificing lol

imma just use dlss 4 bruh

[dusk knot]

I’m sorry, gamer

[nocturne flicker]

Okay. Only worth anything because most of their wealth is kept in the form of stocks of an overvalued company that is maintained by their cult of personality status

[rancid juniper]

wild because AMD's version of RR is only in call of duty still

bruh

[nocturne flicker]

I can keep the ball rolling forever

[misty sparrow]

still more balls than elon currently has

[nocturne flicker]

Well, I can keep it rolling 'till about 2am because I go back to work tomorrow

[dusk knot]

Yeah, it’s terrible. This video really shows how unfair it is for everyone else. Had to watch it twice in its entirety https://youtu.be/PpyPB3BF-hQ?si=MaJW8nkTI31ZwbAC

In the end, all theses riches are futility

[opaque sedge]

Rt’s ultra’s become surprisingly playable for me on my 4070super albeit with heavy upscaling and fg

I like to use med tho

[rancid juniper]

have you tried dlss 4.5 yet?

[opaque sedge]

I did shit is black magic performance upscaling actually look good now

[rancid juniper]

👍

[nocturne flicker]

To explain how stupid their wealth is I just say if you spent 20k a day from the day you were born to the day you die it is literally impossible for you to spend $1 billion dollars

[opaque sedge]

U will notice misgivings if u take the time to look for them tho

[dusk knot]

💀 💀 💀

[opaque sedge]

Alright i’m ready now this alongside the 950 I have I will pull the trigger

Actually

I might hesitate again

Meh imma skip i’ll for sure get the next gen flagship tho or half a flagship since thats what the 80 class cards are to nvidia

[nocturne flicker]

It'd take 50000 days for you to spend $1 billion dollars if you spent 20k a day. Or it'd take about 136.8925393566 years

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

Just do it. It won't kill you

And what's kind of nerve racking is how some people believe there won't be a next generation

[dusk knot]

Terrible..I just need a quarter of that 😭

Not need.... honestly I need one pecent of that

[pliant berry]

everyone always talking about "oh maybe i'll skip this gen" while I am 2 generations behind in gpu and like 6 or 7 generations behind in cpu

[dusk knot]

😔

The struggle of a PC gamer/ content creator

Good thing CPUs barely develop these days

[pliant berry]

annnd then there is my camera which is easily double what my pc cost even after ramflation

[nocturne flicker]

If you invested 1% of 1 billion dollars into an asset or assets that generated a steady 3% yield every year, you could live comfortably with an income of 300k and you'd be in the 97th percentile for income in the US

[dusk knot]

Man would I love that.

Just enough

[pliant berry]

so you will give me 1 billion usd right?

[dusk knot]

No need to worry about managing a ton of money

[opaque sedge]

It will make me lose a thousand and sixty bucks tho

[dusk knot]

I would move to Brazil asap

[nocturne flicker]

I can give one scoop of brown rice

[dusk knot]

How do you get your money btw?

[opaque sedge]

I would legit not wanna upgrade rn if i still played at 2560x1440p but I stupidly bought an ultrawide monitor for which my 4070 super’s been kind of insufficient to run

[opaque sedge]

Savings from when I used to work and I doordash sometimes

[dusk knot]

Hmmmm... honestly hold on to what you have..let's be smart about this

[opaque sedge]

Yeah

[pliant berry]

oh yeah that's the other thing. I am in desparate need of a monitor upgrade but I just haven't seen anything that intriguing under like 2k usd

[dusk knot]

Seriously

We're all struggling

[opaque sedge]

I so regret not getting a 4080super in 2024

[frosty sinew]

Im sad

[dusk knot]

[frosty sinew]

Pc building sucks rn

[dusk knot]

Yeah....

Just hold on to what you have

[frosty sinew]

Im glad I blew 2 paychecks on my pc when I did but still like ughhhh

[nocturne flicker]

I regret not buying bitcoin in its infancy and not becoming a rich bozo who contributes nothing to society. Now I am just a broke bozo who contributes little to society

[dusk knot]

The greatest regret of all

[proud jackal]

this timeline sucks

[frosty sinew]

it feels like we just got out of the gpu shortage too

[dusk knot]

It has to get worse in order for it to get better

[frosty sinew]

im really hoping my pc doesnt break for like 2 yrs

[nocturne flicker]

Actually I am a moderately wealthy bozo who is too paranoid to use my wealth because that wealth is the only thing I've got and the only thing I'm going to have for the rest of my life but same thing

[proud jackal]

i hope i can stay alive till gta6 comes out on pc

[pliant berry]

it's ok we will have nuclear fallout just before gta6 release

[frosty sinew]

like bruh

i paid 100

[opaque sedge]

Yoo shit

[nocturne flicker]

Now we get free everything shortage

[opaque sedge]

5090 in stock at asus

[frosty sinew]

my favvvvvorite

[nocturne flicker]

Also your food is now 4x more expensive on top of it 😊

[opaque sedge]

Nvm sold out

[pliant berry]

tbh I'm prob just gonna start hoarding cash until I see a certain bubble burst

[frosty sinew]

but i get a 2% raise every year yayyyyy /s

[frosty sinew]

its not a bubbbbbbble thoooo

trust

me bro

[pliant berry]

oh yes I believe you

[opaque sedge]

How about you start holding

DEEZ

NUTS

[nocturne flicker]

Heck yeah another member of the 2% club

[pliant berry]

[frosty sinew]

that was a joke lol i work part time

well barelty

college

i only work on breaks

[nocturne flicker]

I'm not joking I work full time and get a 2% raise a year. For now

[frosty sinew]

see the only thing i think theyve failed to realize is that if noone can afford devices to use the ai whats the point

[frosty sinew]

thats not bad

[nocturne flicker]

One day I shall break the $12 an hour barrier

When the fed minimum wage gets raised in 40 years because I have no faith in my company willingly paying me $12

[frosty sinew]

also if said bubble does burst its gonna suck still cuz its all proprietary server hardware

[pliant berry]

when the few finally hit their end goal in this ai craze if they ever do, all the funding that goes to these random startups will quickly dry up, disappear, liquidate

[nocturne flicker]

Doesn't matter when the bubble bursts, none of that stuff is ever going to cycle back into the consumer market, it'll just be bought up by the companies that survive

[frosty sinew]

yeah

[pliant berry]

i don't even know what my min payrate is anymore. working freelance can be a headache

[nocturne flicker]

So Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and I dunno, Palantir

[frosty sinew]

ohhh wait lets play a game

how much does my pc cost now

gimme a sec

pcc part picccer

[nocturne flicker]

Palantir gonna use it to track your every move with a bomb drone

Or maybe that is Anduril

[pliant berry]

i always wondered how those software companies are able to estimate foot traffic in areas

[rancid juniper]

this is very strange

[sand hill]

Hey I got it from Newegg and trying to find a better pc case, also I’m still wondering if this includes fans doesn’t it?

[frosty sinew]

product links help lol

[peak heart]

What's new in 9850x3d?

Similar performance to 9800x3d?

[sand hill]

is it this one? cause i don't know which one mentioning the fan

[nocturne flicker]

It is basically a better binned 9800X3D from what has been said so far. AMD claims an overall 7% perf boost but it isn't a universal increase, so ymmv

[frosty sinew]

i mean the link to the product lol

[sand hill]

https://www.newegg.com/diypc-e-atx-atx-case-steel-tempered-glass-cases-black-argb-n3-bk/p/N82E16811353259?Item=N82E16811353259

if you meant this then here

[frosty sinew]

it only comes with 4

[sand hill]

so 4 fans eh? as long it include them and cool everything, fine by me then

[nocturne flicker]

Or in other words it is just a way for AMD to sell 9800X3Ds at higher prices again

[frosty sinew]

4 fans

[sand hill]

in my defense i didn't read that much sorry

but thanks tho

whats a good price of something like that

[dusk knot]

No

[tepid night]

What’s the best thermal paste for the ryzen 9 9950x3d?

[wraith fern]

lol

does heat conductivity change with cpu

[tepid night]

Idk that’s why I’m asking

[wraith fern]

do you have thermal paste?

[tepid night]

No

[wraith fern]

if so im sure it'll be fine

ah

dont spend like 30 bucks on paste

[tepid night]

Understandable

[wraith fern]

does your cpu not come with paste?

[tepid night]

I was thinking either arctic6 or 7

[wraith fern]

that will be fine

that's good paste

buying like 30 dollar paste is a difference of maybe 1c

[tepid night]

I have to rma my motherboard so I took it off

[wraith fern]

ohhh i see

[tepid night]

Def not worth

[wraith fern]

yeah no not at all

[tepid night]

Came with my aio

[wraith fern]

i think the arctic paste will be good

i have some arctic 6 i think

[tepid night]

Ooh

Is the 7 any good?

It’s like the same price

And it’s newer but I’m not sure

[wraith fern]

frankly i have no idea

if its the same price then why not get it

yeah i'd get the 7 if its the same price

supposedly better

[tepid night]

The reviews

Wait actually I used that one which came with aio, it was so hard to apply, it was extremely thick

[sinful blade]

I use mx6

[dense locust]

What cpu comes with paste?

[sinful blade]

A lot

Some come with tubes, some with little plastic things of it

Coolers do too

[dense locust]

Is it minty?

[sinful blade]

Taste is a little off, but it’s alright

[dense locust]

[sinful blade]

Mx6 has that little kick that’s just too good

https://tenor.com/view/pizza-gif-14574044441062752875

What about the mx7?

i havent used kovaaks or aim labs in forever 🗿

bought kovaaks before aimlabs became popular

[lone mango]

isnt aimlabs mid anyways

[random osprey]

its aight

its free

probably the biggest and main reason why it became more popular than kovaaks

only ever used aimlabs for warmup when i just wake up and load into a ranked game, gridshot ultimate

2 gridshot ultimate games and into the game

[lone mango]

the aimlabs eula is kinda brutal

there is one that people say is underrated

called aimbeast

and its eula looks like it doesnt farm you

so i can just wait for it to hit $5 again and get that

[random osprey]

i dont use either enough anymore to care

i just load into ranked games without warmup

[pseudo raven]

kovaaks is for people who aim train more than they play actual games

[lethal jasper]

Is it worth it to put fan dust nets on intake fans if i only have 2 intake fans

the net reduces airflow by like 50% i think, wont that cause problems

Or should i put the nets on top exhaust

[waxen saddle]

Will pirated websites such as for watching movies slow down my pc even if I don’t download anything off of it?

[tranquil pebble]

assuming it does not compromise your browser, no

That said, I would use an ad blocker and NoScriptPlus

[waxen saddle]

The only thing it does is open other tabs but I close them immediately (I was watching a show on Amazon prime but Amazon decided to make it paid overnight…)

[tranquil pebble]

or you know, get stuff legitimately if that is an option

[waxen saddle]

What is noscriptplus

[tranquil pebble]

A good ad blocker + NoScriptPlus will make that much less dangerous

[tranquil pebble]

its an extension that lets you selectively disable javascript on a domain basis

[waxen saddle]

So ur saying as long as I don’t download against off the website then it shouldn’t slow me down?

[pliant berry]

this ain't a place for piracy advice but personally I stay clear of any pirated streaming sites

[tranquil pebble]

I am merely dispensing security advice. Just to be clear.

[waxen saddle]

Trust I don’t want to private shows I was forced to by Amazon bc I have Amazon prime

[tranquil pebble]

You could try to find DVD/Blu-ray versions?

[waxen saddle]

What do JavaScripts do tho

Ur saying even when I leave the site it could still slow me down? Or nah

[tranquil pebble]

JavaScript lets website be interactive, but it can also be abused for nefarious purposes. Ads that do this are called malvertisements.

Sometimes legitimate sites get hit by these kinds of ads too.

It is actually the reason I first installed an ad blocker in the 2000s.

[pliant berry]

well just think of why we immediately delete messages containing links from malicious users here. some sites that are truly malicious can compromise your system just by opening them. tis also why I manually navigate to a site instead of clicking a link in a email they sent me telling me my order was placed on hold

[waxen saddle]

I am asking bc I just got a new gaming pc worth 2.8k and I don’t want it to slow down

[tranquil pebble]

yeah clicking shady links is one of the big no nos for security

[pliant berry]

this is more the type of thing where you would be concerned for all your credentials being stolen rather than slowing down your pc

[tranquil pebble]

My honest advice? Avoid the dodgy sites.

[waxen saddle]

How does that even work? I thought it’s when you download and execute a file

[tranquil pebble]

That is but one method. Many others exist. Some involve exploits in the browser itself.

[pliant berry]

I mean look at ltt, they lost their channel a bit back because an employee opened a pdf in a email. or the thousands of discord users that got their account stolen because they thought they got a free steam gift

[waxen saddle]

So far I haven’t seen much slow down besides when I go in my browser history it seems as if 3 other sites were open but when I look they actually aren’t open so I assume my ad blocker took care of it?

[tranquil pebble]

Your knowledge of security is far too basic for me to advise anything but staying away from those sites entirely.

[waxen saddle]

How does noscriptplus help and is it free?

[tranquil pebble]

Yes it is free, and can reduce the number of potential exploit vectors. The risk is not gone entirely though, and you need to learn how to use it.

[waxen saddle]

Again the only reason I am using the site is because Amazon prime decided to make the show paid overnight

[tranquil pebble]

JavaScript, as I said earlier, is useful but often used to delivery nasty surprises.

@craggy shoal @deep parcel @elfin mural racing game running at 40fps is still wild, and seeing that the target is 4k I assume the card running it in question is the 5090

[craggy shoal]

I sleep

Looks too arcady

[rancid juniper]

I kinda need new arcade racers, tired of sims

It's literally just same car same track

[tranquil pebble]

I like simcade type games

[rancid juniper]

Those are fun ^

[craggy shoal]

Yes I prefer that

Like Forza Horizon or Gran Turismo

[tranquil pebble]

GT5 and GT6 are the only ones I care much for, mostly because the license tests were too hard in the older ones.

and GT Sport + GT7 weren't what I liked about GT in general

That said, I have all of them up to 7 physically.

The manuals for the old ones are really good.

[craggy shoal]

I really want to get into GT4. I like the idea of starting with a used car and working your way up to higher championships. It's a more realistic start. A lot more sandboxy

[tranquil pebble]

The license tests are brutal though ngl

I could handle most of the rest of the game with brute force/tuning

[waxen saddle]

Is it this? (dw this is just a pic)

[tranquil pebble]

yes

but be warned, it will make browsing more difficult for a while

[waxen saddle]

Which one?

[tranquil pebble]

middle one

[waxen saddle]

wym

[tranquil pebble]

Some sites will stop working entirely until you add them to trusted

Again, there is a learning curve

this is not a magic bullet

[waxen saddle]

yeah roblox just stopped working

[worthy meteor]

most nice interactive parts of websites use some script in one way or another

[tranquil pebble]

you might want to look up some youtube videos on how to use the extension, with it uninstalled/disabled for now

[worthy meteor]

this isn't a magic bullet, this is a normal bullet that just kills the scripts, indiscriminately

[tranquil pebble]

You can make it not do that, but they need to learn how to interact with the extension first

[worthy meteor]

I mean, I'd say it's a case of you use adblockers when you trust the website but not advertising agencies, you block all scripts if you don't trust the website or the ads

[unreal trail]

me and fedex about to go to war

[worthy meteor]

prob just gotta figure out what you trust and whitelist

[tranquil pebble]

That is exactly what you do. You can do it inverted too, but that is less secure ofc.

The extension is quite old. I remember it being around, and using it myself, in the old days of Firefox.

China has suspended Nvidia chip purchases and asked companies to halt H200 chip orders.

[sinful blade]

Thank you vidco

Do you have sources

[soft skiff]

Yeah

[sinful blade]

Give them pls

[soft skiff]

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-asks-tech-firms-halt-orders-nvidias-h200-chips-information-reports-2026-01-07/

[lone mango]

Good

It’s not enough though

[dusk knot]

Do you just...

[worn night]

whats this gonna do

[soft skiff]

Basically China wants to go fully independent

And doesn't want to rely on American companies and tech

With how unpredictable the US has become recently, it's an understandable decision

[soft skiff]

There are a million other AI companies

I don't think Nvidia will have to wait because other companies would be drooling over to get their hands on the H200s that were meant for China

The value of chips will keep on increasing until the notion of AI itself loses value

[dense locust]

wow

it looks like the 9800x3d

never couldve guessed

[lone mango]

You are right unfortunately

[soft skiff]

And unfortunately AI will never lose its value

I work in the medical field and AI is getting scary good at diagnostics

The use in military

AI is here to stay

[dense locust]

it will

its way too over valued

a crash doesnt mean it will go away

the internet crashed

did that go away?'

[soft skiff]

It's over valued in some places

[dense locust]

gen ai is way over valued

[soft skiff]

Yeah

[dense locust]

the rest of ai isnt gen ai

its just specificly trained ai for a specific field

that has been a thing for decades

[soft skiff]

Roughly 240million college students use gen ai for academic purposes

[dense locust]

Roughly 240million college students use gen ai for cheating

fixed your sentence

[lone mango]

[dense locust]

most schools ban the use of gen ai

so its cheating

[soft skiff]

The global workforce sits at around 3.5 billion

And 30% to 50% of those use AI

[dense locust]

how much of that is by force

[soft skiff]

So over a billion workers use gen AI at some level

And then there are the AI slop factories

Churn out AI slops for boomers and children to consume

[soft skiff]

The best era to buy more ram and gpu is now gone and I don't think it will ever return to the status quo

[dense locust]

that i can agree on

[soft skiff]

Unless

One of us decides to be the irl Johnny Silverhand and nukes all AI datacenters around the world

[lone mango]

I am considering it

[rancid juniper]

hey @grok is this true?

[soft skiff]

@grok dress him in a micro bikini

[dense locust]

maybe true when all the companies force ai

lol

[rancid juniper]

grok after the 98745646th re-tweak

after every company force ai there will be nothing special

https://tenor.com/view/the-incredibles-syndrome-ang-when-everyones-super-no-one-will-be-super-heroes-gif-5389961

[soft skiff]

It's already not special anymore

[rancid juniper]

true

[soft skiff]

It's actually more special if they don't have ai

[rancid juniper]

If you think that’s bad, check out the system requirements for 007 First Light

what’s the TLDR explanation

[heady plinth]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/HrXymC I'd probably get one of those two if you want a nice midrange board.

[opaque sedge]

3060ti is recommended for a 1080p 60fps experience

With upscaling

[rancid juniper]

WAIT DID THEY OPTIMIZE THE GAME?

[opaque sedge]

Its from hitman devs right?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure hitman runs on the steam deck

[dusk knot]

Hhmm

32gb of ram

[misty sparrow]

You wanna know the funniest part

A lot of the requirements are made up and don’t exist

Like the recommended one suggests a 3060Ti but it also suggests 12GB VRAM

[rancid juniper]

Just wanted a bit of hope

[velvet summit]

there was no war

just a few guys visiting the titanic

[obtuse pike]

any suggestions to prevent 12hvpr go boom

[velvet summit]

step 1: don't use 12vhpwr

[obtuse pike]

cant

or 12vhpwr with 3 pins ig?

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/final-fantasy-vii-remake-cloud-strife-tifa-lockhart-aerith-gainsborough-cloti-gif-27060423

[velvet summit]

then

• use a reputable brand
• make sure cable is plugged fully in
• make sure cable is not strained by the case/lack of slack

[obtuse pike]

what reputable brands

[velvet summit]

uh

i dont have a list off the top of my head

[fading socket]

why is new vegas so poopy when it comes to streaming

[velvet summit]

iirc moddiy was one of the decent brands for custom cables

[obtuse pike]

should i start undervolting the gpu?

[velvet summit]

else just use the included cable with the psu

actually
as long as you aren't using like a 5080 or higher, 12vhpwr probably wont be drawing too much to be a huge concern

[dusk knot]

i just want goodness in the world, weary. idk

[obtuse pike]

its a 5070ti

[velvet summit]

as long as it's plugged correctly

[dusk knot]

believe me 300w isnt even a thing anymore on a 5080. its lower

[velvet summit]

just use the included psu cable if you don't want custom sleeved cables, but if you do, moddiy is reliable afaik

[obtuse pike]

its a 12vhpwr

incl on the psu

too scared to use it tho, or i'll just buy a 12v2x6 cable

[wraith fern]

you'll be fine

wha

its included

[velvet summit]

the one included with the psu will be fine as long as it's not a shit psu

most of the fires/failures were either from incorrectly plugged in cables or low quality connectors from third parties

[obtuse pike]

its a corsair

[velvet summit]

should be fine

[wraith fern]

you'll be fine if you can plug in a cable

just push hard

[obtuse pike]

yeah aight

[velvet summit]

make sure there is basically no more gap

[obtuse pike]

then ill just undervolt it

yeye

[velvet summit]

undervolting isnt required

[obtuse pike]

need them extra watt reduction

[icy ore]

[dusk knot]

[heady plinth]

What do you mean loads? Watts pulled across the cable?

[obtuse pike]

like a 12vhpwr with 3x cables

which balances the load

[heady plinth]

An adapter with 3x 8pin connectors? That doesn't do anything to balance the load.

[obtuse pike]

16pin to 3x 8pin pcie

[heady plinth]

Yeah that does nothing to balance the load. The only benefit is the PSU end of your cable is a lot less likely to melt.

Don't forget certain Italians who wished it was still the 1930s used Hobbits as a propaganda piece for their purity politics

[elfin mural]

those at the top like to play god

since they've got all the money already

[rancid juniper]

[nocturne flicker]

This is an actual thing btw

[rancid juniper]

Its all about control now

[elfin mural]

the next goalpost in their pathetic life is to gain power

money can buy power

[nocturne flicker]

Imagine Woodstock but on the extreme opposite end of the political spectrum and called Camp Hobbit

[rancid juniper]

[dusk knot]

Life

[dusk knot]

But we must cope and carry on

[elfin mural]

to suffer is to be human

[rancid juniper]

unsweet truth

[dusk knot]

This year will be the year

No more slacking

Also I can’t wait to leave Florida. I hate it here

[nocturne flicker]

Based and truth pilled

[dusk knot]

I’m moving to Brazil. That’s how much I hate it now

I can’t stand the culture here

[nocturne flicker]

Do you know how to speak Portuguese?

[dusk knot]

The basics

Still learning

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

[royal crow]

[dusk knot]

[royal crow]

[dusk knot]

You have some twisted fantasy or something?

[rancid juniper]

[dusk knot]

I always had the curiosity of going outside during a hurricane, but you know, flying plywood might comfortably settle down in your torso or head.

[velvet summit]

There are 2 types of Floridians

The ones that want to stay there for the rest of their life
The ones that want to get the hell out

[rancid juniper]

there is no inbetween

[nocturne flicker]

The insane ones and your Jewish grandmother

[rancid juniper]

i would like to travel but i gotta get rid of the fear of sitting in a flying cylinder

[dusk knot]

You'll be fiiiinnee

[nocturne flicker]

Don't, flying is terrible

[dusk knot]

You'll have to power through it

[dusk knot]

What I always do 🙃

Economy

[velvet summit]

Flying business is bearably bad

[dusk knot]

Too expensive

[nocturne flicker]

Overly expensive, the chairs are terrible, you get groped by TSA unless you pay a bribe and there is a growing chance that your flight will crash into another

[rancid juniper]

bro

[velvet summit]

Flying first class is probably the only semi enjoyable experience for flying

[nocturne flicker]

Too far?

[velvet summit]

Not that I've ever been on first class

[dusk knot]

I'd rather suffer in a seat for 8 hours than spend a few hundred on a short blip in my life. I could buy PC hardware or weeks worth of food

[rancid juniper]

a bit but it was funny af

[velvet summit]

Breaking bad reference

Chances of survival of a plane crash compared to cars is extremely low

I finally found the gif that wasn't just a meme

[rancid juniper]

waltur after seeing firework

[nocturne flicker]

Still, the idea that the TSA contracts out a paid fast track lane that has laxer security standards is offensive and shows more than ever that the entire TSA security standards are a bunch of panic sating garbage

[dusk knot]

Hm

[velvet summit]

It's almost as if they overreacted to a threat of "liquid explosives" from like over 2 decades ago

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/security-on-duty-gif-14765208

[nocturne flicker]

Honestly not that far off

[dusk knot]

Well the risk of being frisked by the TSA are low if you're aware of the rules.

[nocturne flicker]

You can wear jackets, shoes, belts keep liquids in your bags as well as laptops

[rancid juniper]

if that laptop has valorant installed its an entire risk for the plane

[dusk knot]

Bomb has been planted

Oh wait..

I'm thinking of Counter-Strike

[rancid juniper]

ring0 exploit has been initialized
Taking over plane systems...

[dusk knot]

💀

[nocturne flicker]

Basically if you pay a bribe that goes to a couple of private companies managing the entire program, you get to go through security in less than 5 minutes. All you need to do is pass a background check and be a citizen or resident and then you get to go onto planes with significantly less security procedures for the next 5 years

[tall pine]

What'd I miss?

[dusk knot]
