I was hoping to get a 5080 but not finding one near msrp they’re nearly 1.5k
5080 is still being made, but yeah
The 5070ti’s still at under 900
nowhere near msrp
Last one in stock… man wth…
Probably won't be soon
Gone…
Wasn’t able to reserve it…
Fug fug
I should have upgraded when i had the chance

…these 5080s not looking good either
Mother
ey, let's not circumvent the chat filter
we have certain words unblocked but a lot of em are still blocked
Anyone know how long it takes to get a gift card from Newegg I ordered over an hour ago because I’m trying to do a split payment with it
they typically take 24 hours
if it's been over 24 hours you might wanna DM neweggservice
Okay it said 1 hour so I wasn’t sure thank you
I believe in your ability to find something worth the price. You have to power
indeed
-# (Little did he know that I knew he blew it)
Nah, but just keep an eye out. Wait for the next holiday or something
Don't be afraid of missing out on an even better deal if you take a really good deal now
Because nothing is guaranteed
right
because the product is only not being made because of the current situation
it's not officially EOL'd, just no longer produced for now
9070xt's price is rising and rising
Which I don’t like
This
When you win the competition cause their is no competition
It’s
Bad
and there is always a possibility that radeon might follow the same strategy nvidia is heading with
………… true
theres some POS in chile trying to hack one of my microsoft accounts rn
i have school in 20 minutes 💔
Turn off internet and safe mode or secure boot
Hell turn of your psu (not that it helps)
i know its not my computer
im not even signed into that one on my computer mostly
they just got lucky with the password i guess
Amd’s likely gonna price gouge us now with that card now that it has no direct competitor
i just set it to a long ass password, gonna just pray they give up now
Ngl i wonder if ngreedia might completely get out of the gaming market now

Maybe not immediately
But in like 1 or 2 generations
they aren't, but are squeezing us all to lower end skus
and recycled products
they're trying to push cloud gaming and focus on ai stuff
Ah the recent ryzen way
yep
we can still game, but we will be stuck on the old stuff
im hoping that this will mean that games will be more optimized
it'll at least make everything easier to run
It prolly wont
But man
yeah it won't
especially since nvidia is pushing the whole "neural rendering" crap to games
Has barely been a year since i got into personal pcs too…
Their next rtx gimmick
home computer isn't dying, i doubt it, but the days of high end personal computing is likely counting down
Well for me its either manage to get a decent price 5080 today thru hotstock or get a 9070xt
I really dont wanna give up dlss but man…
the ai bubble could really pop rn
Do you alr own the card ?
I give it another year tbh
it'll hurt everyone tho, but it'll at least fix the wrongs to an extent
But you never know
It’s gonna hurt normal people like it or not
the CEOs are getting desperate, they might know something we don't know
cracks are forming
Such as ?
No i have a 4070super which is absolutely amazing but its been severely limiting for me on my ultrawide monitor, i would be completely chilling rn if i was playing on regular 2560x1440p but i’m not…
microslop's ceo cried about ppl calling ai slop
jensen too crying about it
commenting on how ai hate is bad for society
the ai boom is not sustainable
they're just trying to make everyone pretend it's sustainable
FSR4 can be equal to DLSS 3 sometimes
The transformer model is black magic
Why microslop
because all microsoft has been doing is trying to shove ai down people's throats
Ohhh
microslop is a fitting name lmao
Its hard to take ngreedia and amd’s words at face value abt the potential of AI cuz their motivation is to sell more hardware to enterprises and data centers and well the ones they’re selling to… aren’t making a good case either
precisely
they wanna keep selling stuff
if the whole industry comes crashing down, the money printer can't work as well as they want it to
Little do they know
i'm sure they know it can come crashing down, but they don't care
they will do whatever it takes to keep it going
Consumers consume more products tbh not like the same ammount as ai peps
But
More stable
Idk
they'll inevitably return to us if the ai demand disappears one day
there's no question to it
Pny too
The pny models that are coming back in stock rn are going for a grand
Yup ngreedia definitely killed it
dram companies are either reluctant to make more factories, or it takes years to set up a fab
and well, if the situation solves itself by then
both
the excess production is just a waste of opportunity
they wanna sell stuff at high prices
not have a ton of stock and have to dump it for cheap
I dont know if I’m remembering correctly but didn’t the ram manufacturers overproduce ram at one point in the recent past and faced quite a bit of loss?
yeah
that's exactly why they don't wanna overproduce
they'd much rather have a shortage than an overproduction
Lol they dont believe in ai much either then
and it's also better for their income even though they might miss some potential income
They’re just hoarding the short term profits they can rn it seems
they can charge however they please in the short term
and the ai datacenters will gobble it all up for however expensive it is
Is it safe to infer that the dram manufacturers don’t have full confidence in AI? Given their current supply habits?
Keep in mind RAM manufacturers are basically a cartel anyways that are trying to scam people as much as possible
^
micron was sued and lost once in the 90's
they were price fixing back then
and well.. look at em now, doing it again
laws mean nothing nowadays
Any chance governments will step in on this?
They price fix now. It is just widely accepted because we've abandoned all serious restraints on tech
zero
there's nothing anyone will do about this
if anything they get a slap on the wrist and a bill to pay up in the form of a small fine
Hmmm i doubt future administrations would do smth either if this shit ends up being a huge foundation for the economy
The days of suing companies like Microsoft over monopolizing are well and truly over
Actually scratch that it technically alr is
the only cases we see happening has only been stuff like
the EU slapping apple with forced usb-c standard
app store regulations
We aren't getting another Lina Khan
i sure want more chinese tech now lmao
at least that country is funding everything possible to start a big industry
i'm afraid it might end up the same, or focused within the home market
which as far as i've been observing, that seems to be the case
It is going to be in the home market. We are in another Cold War
Or if we somehow haven't gotten to that point despite literally having proxy wars and countries carving spheres of influence, we have been gearing up for one for years
Anyways, I sleep. No more old man yammers on about Cold War
I have no doubt other entities will try to take over the home computing market if the current leaders do end up bailing out on us completely… but I am afraid of how long it will take for them to take hold…
And until they do…
it's precisely why ppl are rushing to buy used stuff
because the new and cool stuff is too darn expensive
not a lot of people has the means to like
drop a north of 2k for a pc
most of em are even only able to get stuff for below 1k budget

Things will probably get worse as we get closer to GTA 6 release
And consoles will also start feeling the pressure
wondering if maybe I should set the iGPU to 4 GB
Every time I'm on Facebook I get an ad with a person I actually know in it.
that's the facebook way
I mean Facebook knows who you know

Classified ad scam
Why are classified ads scams
@sinful blade why did you not tell us you were once rich
I want one to put fumos on
the real purpose of roombas
1 to 1 with seller and no eBay buyer protection
ohh the second part is the deal breaker
why tf can people sell stuff with no protection
they can literally list anything and it sells and they send a picture of it and they get away with it???
It just keeps getting worse

killed right after being brought into existence
are we deadass
I just bought a 9070 XT too. I was going to wait for supply to go back up before I get a 5070 Ti, or wait for next generation
I guess I'm forced to wait for next generation now
theres a chance there might not BE a next generation
I wish I knew why, but for some reason on macs when I have both wifi and ethernet enabled and I open a file over the network it feels the need to open it with wifi
FB AI generates ads using people on your friendslist, thinking its your strongest circle of influence
Disconnect Wi-Fi and see what happens
I sometimes don't trust that my MacBook is truly using Ethernet lol
Is this company a scam? Has anyone ordered stuff from them before?
yeah that's exactly my issue. I closed my editor, disconnected wifi, reopened it and now it's running perfectly fine
bro.. lol
This guy
I've ordered from Newegg before. But I prefer Amazon because I pay for Prime (I've also never had an issue with Amazon delivering parts)
that ain't saying much. there are so many scams on amazon
I have a order for a pc i payed full and they locked my account down and arent doing anything to help me
Hello @radiant hornet! 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.
this server is also a great place to get tech help
that sounds like something a newegg admin can help with
private message @digital thunder all the details
ye that's the official support account here
You have ordered stuff from them before and they were legit?
yes multiple times
It just seems wierd after i send them money they kick me out of my account
I will probably just chargeback
Keep myself humble
To get my money then go with a different company
imagine
It was a stoneforged 5060 16gb ddr5 i7 14400f
good man
yikes you should buy a different one
(I have no affiliation with Roomba company)
Why
not the best specs also its 14700f not 14400f
Its 14400f
then its an i5
Oh yeah mb
oh no, pay to win extra fps is true
prebuilts are the way to go rn
Im not looking to spend a ton though for my budget its cheaper then building one and its way better than my cutrent one
My current one is ahh
oh
my recommendation is see if neweggwservice can help first
they should be able to
It has a i7 3770 with a 1050 and a cm6870 with ddr3
(Ask him his budget, see if you can find a better deal)
So it will be a big upgrade
I was getting to that but first we have the account stuff resolved
You can do that while he messages @digital thunder
Bro about to see sounds after upgrading from that
What is your budget
how much do you want to buy a pc for
1500cad taxes in is what im aiming for
bet
Like 1300 or so maybe a little more if there is something really good for a bit more
i gotcha
Thank you
this aint horrible but i can probably find better https://www.amazon.com/Skytech-Archangel-Gaming-Desktop-4-6GHz/dp/B0DDDK3JMG/ref=sr_1_17
much better gpu worse cpu https://www.amazon.com/Skytech-Gaming-Nebula-Desktop-4-2GHz/dp/B0FJ24LD4V/ref=sr_1_22
this is decent https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-006G-00047
are these the canadian sites?
nah
Thanks
he said 1000 usd too
ah i see then
https://www.newegg.com/abs-cyclone-aqua-gaming-desktop-pc-intel-arc-b580-intel-core-i5-13400f-32gb-ddr5-2tb-nvme/p/N82E16883360942 this is quite literally what I run but with ddr4 instead of ddr5
very good value
if newegg doesn't work out this is the best I found on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Skytech-Gaming-Nebula-Desktop-4-2GHz/dp/B0FJ24LD4V/ref=sr_1_22
Ok thanks
mhm
Yeah supposedly they are going to “see if they can unlock my account” but im not trying to deal with them for weeks
I just find its dumb they locked my account
admin said that?
Yeah
eh shouldnt take too long then
They “werent sure if they could do anything”
900,000 “people” clicked on this
good luck bro
Thanks
yup
She probably thinks it’s real because of how the lady looks and the setting of the videos
The amount of trust she puts into others is not good
She thinks we are full of shit

But facebook is not
YouTube is filled with this kind of trash now unfortunately
if its not something like that, its a list of X things that had an AI voice
my mom was watching ai generated music of a goat because it looked cute
we are screwed

Mine watches ones about health advice, even worse
Admin? Or NeweggService?
well i meant like neweggservice is run by administration
Ahh kk
my grandma likes watching ai baby videos, she knows its ai but she doesnt care and thinks theyre cute
There was an attempt. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix that I could try.
This a video of me trying to fix a coil whine issue on this computer power supply. Coil Whine is an audible sound directly produced by materials vibrating electromagnetic force.
If you ever open something like a PSU or look at the VRMs around your CPU soc...
Crazy video
Bro drops the power supply board lmao
whats a better alternative to the 3050 with the price point of 160 dollars
wha
I CANT GET TO THE 5080 RESTOCKS FAST ENOUGH
idk a 5090 from alibaba i guess
this was a problem even before ai slop
Not having a computer and giving me $160 (I won't give you anything in return, but at least I'd have $160)
bruh lol
I don’t have $160 dollars
yet
I'll accept financing
I’m thinking about the next 4790k build’s gpu
A gain is a gain
It seems a 2060 is priced better for better perf
At that point, I'd just wait for the RAM crisis to end and upgrade to a DDR5 system. Don't even bother getting a new GPU
Used rx6600 or 6600xt
I’ll give you my 5700xt for $210
So I can buy a 3070 from alpha

Just a question
Am I suppose to remove the sticker thing on my nvme? My motherboard has a heat sink for the ssd
no
this looks cool af
sometimes that even voids warranty, sticker won't affect the heat
hmm, the shrek soundtrack is pretty decent
The sticker on the nvme itself stays on it’s good for heat somehow
The soft pad on the metal plate should have a plastic peel but after peeling that the pad stays on and goes on the nvme
I might’ve just over explained
I just wanna make sure you don’t mess up lol
The stickers typically have graphite I think? Or some similar material to help make it conductive
Usually the sticker is a thin bit of metal with adhesive on it, so yes it is good for conducting heat
Generally gives aluminum foil vibes
Depends on the drive I think. The labels on mine don't seem to have a noticable amount of metal (though my Samsung 980 has a thin piece of copper on the back)
Some do some don't.
I imagine most of the big names do it
WD will either do that or a bare drive
Team Group is the same iirc
I have a Samsung PM981 (or maybe pm961) that I got on ebay to put in a mini server PC. It's an OEM drive presumably pulled from a laptop and it throttles under literally any load 💀
OEM drives generally are bare drives yeah?
Like just being on the windows desktop it would climb to throttling temps 💀
Yeah it had a sticker that was definitely just paper
Now it has an AliExpress heatsink and tiny blower fan
Good deal
I might have a pic actually
The heatsink honestly was probably good enough as is
They just need a bit of help sometimes
In a normal PC case with airflow yeah. The mini PC doesn't have much flow through the case itself
Ah, yeah that'd need extra extra help
Tiny fan go brrrr
Does it make a lot of noise?
I've got a couple of the mini blowers and they actually aren't that loud
I expected them to be whiny but they aren't
Granted idk how long they'll last but they were like $5
Here's the setup on the backside of my main pc
Lol what transpired
someone probably got their account hijacked
no podcast, need an in-depth analysis video
Watch my podcast
You don’t want 2hr of useless information that could’ve been a 15 min video?
i like to waste time on other things
podcasts are just a way to kill time
Me opening my monero wallet to see it's increased 50+% in the past month or so (people are finally catching on to the fact we are creeping towards a surveillance state)
Depending where you live it's less of a creep and more of a bold stroll
the ai summary will be "just buy the dlc"
yes
its funny how its now a common trope for a game to be broken but then the shop/marketplace is the most functional thing ever
interesting
I wish my car had carplay
I wish I could get a modern car with better mileage but no smart features
Podcast to explain how this is perfectly acceptable and gamers are to blame yesyesyesyes 
no, this can't be!
i wish i had a car

I can't ask for too much in a car when my car is cheaper than my camera gear 
I wish I didn’t have to use a car
wow...
photography is freakin sick
I wish I had an EV
But my car isn't that bad
Looks at american transit system*
it is indeed sick, but boy is it an expensive hobby
My step father even thinks my car is really good 
Ford Escape go brrrrr
Very agile compared to the land boat my mother has, very responsive. It is just 11 years old and very pepeg in a variety of ways
The American transit system sucks
If you’re not in a major city good luck getting to where you need to go
I mean, in the places it exists public transport can be very good. The biggest problem is that there ain't enough
true
And even then there is big social stigma against public transport
even if you are in a major city
the amount of times I've been screwed over by the mta in nyc is ridiculous
can confirm
May I get help on getting Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime & Microsoft ASP.NET Core Runtime (x86) from 8.0.22 to 8.0.23
this is the version list for .net 8 with all the appropriate versions https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0
Thank you very much
Micro center is not getting a dime from me from now on
Getting ghosted by a retail store is crazy work, even after going there in person to try to work something out
Also this is the third time getting ghosted

If you don’t want me, just say it

Even amazon had the courtesy to say

Very brutal

what did micro center do
Micro center keeps ghosting my job applications, even after I made a connection in person
lol i bet theres a lot of people also being ghosted
Xfinity/comcast, Verizon, and other similar places are always hiring.
Im a bit confused and would just like to make sure, but when i try to do an exchange with newegg for a faulty product, on step 2 it ask to confirm replacement address, and then it ask hiw i would like to get refund?
Why? I 100% want an exchange not refund cuz i got my item during holiday sale. Is this an issue or...?
Try contacting support I guess
I'm not sure if mods could help with this so message @digital thunder
Nothing we can help as community members
Gotcha. Thnx!!
average youtube video
istg some tech videos go through explaining every detail that nobody cares about as an intro before you even get to the actual content
When I see a video titled How to do Y I don't want or expect a detailed history of Y as an intro

m
Theo is the AI bubble
would just like to confirm, if i have a replacement return set up, is there any chance where after recieving my product, Newegg refuse to send me a replacement and just forces a refund onto me?
just get a 4080
again something to ask neweggservice not us
or a 4080 𝓈𝓊𝓅𝑒𝓇
ok. I did but just asked here cuz they havent replied and im just lowkey nervous between the return deadline and seeing online that nvidia is canceling my specific model of gpu lol
5070ti im assuming
they usually don't take too long to respond
if they say they can't replace it then it probably means there are none to replace with 💀
wow COMPuters
yeah its the 5070ti and idk if they hold backups or something, but on their site, when filtered by "sold by newegg" they're sold out so....yikes...
only got listings from hong kong.
u a real person bro?
uh yeah
i was just making a lil joke mb lol
i never realized how many words have comp in it
its not that its just the same day account creation as join date and a weird first message
anyways welcome to the newegg hood
There’s a surge of bots recently
you see earth is my turf, g
☝️ erm what
if you dont know how to floss youll be lost without me
Pc build he means
nvidia 4060 🙁
paid like $800 for the pc prebuilt
Hey
At least it’s not a 4050
whats the cpu and ram?
task manager
I learned that the 4060 and 5700xt have about the same performance
For $180 cheaper the 5700xt wins
no way
or special technology
AMD Ryzen 7 5700
is that good?
I was just as suprised
It is
hey for the price that build is actually pretty good
Decent cpu
i be coding on here and it runs like a charm
Who in here needed a case for their pc
I have a mega deal
Someone said something earlier
bet
do y'all wanna be friends i need some friends on this account 📧
sure bro
I only have a select few due to privacy
thats fair
@worn night the deal I got on a customers case
what deal
saved 71 dollars on what total cost
$100
hey thats pretty good!
DANG NICE BRO
how
walmart + i guess
if i see a clueless "meguuu" one more time
what did you buy
Nope
Just had a free trial for shipping
@proud jackal
do you guys think ai is the future of computing? like minimal hardware and everything is just ai models
For $30, that is NOT a bad case
Nah
It’ll help but it’s not gonna define society
Can I borrow 71$
No
Yo what the hell
Been wanting a new case
I actually have a soft spot for the stickers and emotes you send TBH
Give me your 4090 then I can give you $71 @proud jackal
should i buy it?
I think it was you earlier then
might use it for my old pc
It’s a reputable brand and a cheap case
Yeah
Takeout lunch nowadays (not that takeout is good value tho…)
what do you guys think of ai + crypto?
Mid and mid
dinner for three
i guess this is more of a pc build server but i cant find anywhere to talk about this
We have #artificial-intelligence if you wanna talk about it
ah
@tall pine loves to talk about it
i got the black one
@fair onyx is also a good guy to talk about it
I love e waste
i want one...
I honestly wouldn't know what to do with the case
Worst phenomena of this decade
Get it
no money atm
wait tell me why i want to hear your opinion
fug
you can blame @olive plaza for that LMAO
@sinful blade any other case deals?
Classic doug
Not that I’ve seen
did i buy the last black case?
Doug bought the rest of the black

I only bought 2 black
then mahiro you did
There were 3 in stock, I bought 2 of them
How many white are up still Doug?

now it's joever

Wouldn’t have seen it if I didn’t visit Walmart’s app
Gen ai has done literally nothing to make anything better for anyone. All it's done is cost money, raise ram prices, and take people's water.
Crypto is a sham, it's a bad solution and makes it way easier for bad actors to steal a ton of money from the less-well-educated.
Just depends on their listing/personal policy
genAI I guess non-genAI absolutely has made medicine better.
And (especially with the way things are headed right now) crypto (mainly monero) absolutely has its uses
There were 12 available and I ordered 3. So 9 minus whatever sold in the last 10 minutes
i agree to disagree
@sinful blade really? Right in front of my Andy?
I find it so funny. The argument that it "uses" water. Water is not "destroyed" by AI. It evaporates due to cooling... which then... rains
It potentially can have impacts in the sense that the water should have stayed in the environment longer instead of just being evaporated. But the reality is, datacenter water usage is actually fairly small
There are many people out there talking out of their butt about ai water usage
Isnt the problem that human access to the water that rains is delayed or taken away?
being evaporated... into clouds
do you know what happens when clouds form
it rains
I know, mind blown
Human, and animal, and plants
Right it's not permanently using the water but it can mess with the water cycle
However
why dont we just water cool our organs like pcs? much more efficient
And immediate access to water
Dude please do some research. It takes water from people who do not have access to water now because of this slop. It also accelerates climate change.
Climate change can't be stopped so what's the point
Look up how much water the corn industry uses
Honestly I thought you were a journalist
This is just false dude
False and ragebait
I thought we repaired some parts of the ozone layer
can't realistically be stopped
We'd all have to give up massive amounts of our lifestyles to make it happen
ai automation will save the world, the robots gonna figure it out
Absolutely can if we keep moving towards nuclear and renewables
Ngl if i was given that level of decision making power I would opt for a “reset”

You are not a valid subscriber for this service.
resets take more resources
No reset as in apocalypse
Wow, least expensive 5080 even at micro center is 1459
What are some games that take advantage of 9800x3d? Having just gotten it in my PC I'd like to push it a bit
i dont think a sentient ai would want to end the world, i think they are good guys 🙂
1400 for a tuf at mine
MS Flight Simulator
most games at 1080p
oh right pc builds
3d mark
Bro said you ain't gonna rebuild this 5090 because I had a bunch of people sign it. Brother who the heck cares about signatures
ill give you my last 3 dollars
$4000
Linus' signature isn't a luxury thing 

'

1500
Fine, $3900
2k
No
2.3
I don't even know half the people he listed, thinks I'm gonna care?
Signatures only matter to collectors
Blatant falsehood, what do you have to smoke to convince yourself of this
What collector is going to obsess over the signature of the founder of PCMR
I'll sign the GPU block
so what do you think is going to happen?
I think anything relating to PCMR would degrade the value of the gpu tbh
if a scalper wins that gpu they are going to to erase everything
you can buy a 5090 no core and vram for like $250
I would erase it all and send a picture of it back to the Youtuber out of sheer spite
thats just evil
I'd think it'd be funny ngl
Now if he said he had Jensen's signature on the other hand that is actually money
I could sell that
Yeah
There’s a really high chance those signatures ain’t staying
Meeeee? About what?
AI
@royal crow can you respond in #artificial-intelligence

i need AI friends to talk about AI
Ah ok. I'm at work at the moment, but I can chat later
ill add you
Chat bots are always open
I don’t think I’ve ever cried this much from a show before
what show
Ai slop
Oh.
noticing
im tryna talk to someone about some ideas in ai, you available?
Not right now but I am open to reading and responding later.
alr i added you
Ping me with the questions in #artificial-intelligence if you don't mind.
Honestly kinda real 😅
Self proclaimed AI bros are obnoxious most times
Real
I don't really mind if you like actually design models or like do actual stuff with it but gen ai needs to be euthanized
I don't know about euthanized, but I do agree that most people use it for bad things, and that tire regulations need to be had
I train my own models, make my own workflows, and implement my own tools on my local hardware, because I see the value of the technology, but don't want privatized companies getting my money, and my data on a silver platter
i loathe ai "artists" claiming to be an artist
but really they're just a prompter
it's like ordering food and claiming you're the chef
Big reason it should be killed, deefakes and NSFW stuff like that
I call em sloperators😀
i pay artists to draw art for me. does that make me an artist? obviously not, i'm just a commissioner
All they do is take slop from the ai hosepipe and show it to Twitter
don't get me wrong tho, ai is cool if utilized correctly
I don't think the NSFW is bad in theory. Ido agree that it's bad when used to take the likeness of others publicly
For me. I have a very nuanced take on it because of my absolute take on freedom of speech. I think, I'm theory behind closed doors, it's freedom of speech. But when it's shared it becomes content that is defamatory in a sense
I think having a black or white stance on any topic, especially as heated as this, sets us all up to be taken advantage of and fearmongered into more intense censorship and surveillance
My stance is "something needs to be done" but my suggestion is unfortunately "I am not sure what"
the big problem with ai is that the ai companies steal copyrighted work and train off of said work
For sure. It just sucks that too many people use it negatively
I mean, the problem with deepfakes is that even when 'behind closed doors', there is always a chance of something leaking online. Plus deepfakes in general are just particularly nasty in any context
Yeah, it's the same way I am an artist on my own, but do not call or claim the creations I made using AI models "art" even when my non AI works are art
i don't like the X ai edit feature myself, it's just stupid to even add
people are abusing it so hard
Absolutely, 100% I'm not saying it's right or moral in any way, I'm just saying that in theory, it would likely be protected under freedom of speech and action
My reason for bringing it up is because the improper legislation around all of this can lead to freedom of speech being caught in the cross hairs and when that happens, justifications for taking away more aspects of it get much easier
If a deepfake of a real person were to be challenged in court, it would not be protected under free speech. Anti-Deepfake laws have been passed on the state level and as far as I am aware none have been ruled unconstitutional on 1st Amendment grounds
But yes, once it becomes public, that would be a crime
Yeah, I'm saying the moment it's known or public, THAT is the crime
No. The laws regarding them deem the creation of the deepfake illegal, regardless of if it has been made public or not
I really hope the ai bubble is not a repeat of the dotcom bubble
Something doesn't become illegal only when it is known about by someone else
If it is then ai will literally be everywhere in 20 years
Although thankfully not all bubbles are created equal
No one cares abt nfts or crypto anymore
Amd most people do not like Ai
They gonna have to catch me for it to be illegal
That isn't how illegality works 
About that…
if a tree falls but no one is around to see it, did it really fall?

Yes
a law can be enforced as long as there is evidence even if nobody saw a violation happen
Enforcement isn't even necessary for something to be illegal. All it needs is a law in place stating that the action or thing is illegal for it to be illegal
i see
Because the status of something being illegal means that it is, by default, breaking a law
Hm
Undercooked. Turn up the heat
there was always a solution
roblox used to have guest accounts that had access to something called super safe chat
basically a primitive chat system with preset words
it allows safe communication between people of all ages
thats genius
it can be toggleable and parents can choose to set it for their kids or not
roblox is restarted uncanny~2
Huh? Never heard of that
it's a pretty old thing that used to exist
Kk
that's one massive screw
real
L
this is what they mean by "you must screw the nails to the wall"
step 1: grab a screw
step 2: hammer the nail in the wall with the screw
stolen from me
pretty cheap in this market
cheeseburger.
beware the hidden costs
So if someone buys this would they be massively screwed
true that
Can't believe Roomba would rewrite chat history 
this actually made me mad ngl
History is written by the powerful

Good thing I have a file for this server 
I still have one for an old server. Guess I should delete it
a certain file that starts with an e and ends with an n
Actually I labeled it blackmail 
(What are we talking about)
im just being stupid on purpose
will i get muted if i post the entire minecraft movie in gif form


whats up, people?
You should post the shrek movie too
the dram situation is so dire that hp is looking to cxmt to get dram
since they're now capable of producing ddr5
wild
thats the chinese fab right
the up and coming fellas
Any this a copyright issue
No sound
i mean to be fair
_ _
i thought you knew me google 🗿
Sorry, based on your viewing habits, we have come to the conclusion that you are 2 years old
they probably found me listening to 1 minecraft song
Lol
The first matrix..goated
Wait....
Yeah. The first film

I've seen the trilogy at least 5 times
Incredible work of cinema
Eh. The first one was decent enough
They fell off a cliff immediately
Tbh only thing really worth noting about them was the premise
That and the Agent Smith memes
The 2nd one was just the first one with honestly a more forgettable plot
aw, man
And imo, the first one was really a 'you had to be there when it was new' film, cause the slow motion effects are just bleh now
I thought they were good and I saw it in 2021 for the first time
Oh true. The rave about in 1999 was HUGE
I think it was 1999
The amount of cosplayers
Wow
It was 1999
Ok
You mean it has 32gb 
I'll have ram for awhile now 

How much did this cost
Also that’s some slow ddr5
146$ per each. Yeah they're slow but still better than nothing
I building to sell so I need them 
I don’t know if this is a deal or not
It's not deal but my free rams from Newegg got dry 
Newegg bundling rams with high prices now as well 
Who will know?

Wanted an asus prime but beggars can’t be choosers
Wow
The most common gpus are still stuff like the 5060,5070 but it is definitely getting more normalized
COMMON?! I WISH IT WAS COMMON RN 😭
The only readily available 5080s are 1300 minmum
Had to beat the bots to get the msrp restock

God dam not a bad price at all.
Would actually be amazing for an SFF system.
Hopefully it means Persona 2 gets some attention
Felllas is 70-80 degrees fine for 1440p ultra settings
oh yeah
they've FINALLY acknowlage P2 and P1
Congratulations bro
The fomo’s still killing me man 
Wanted an asus prime
Apparently gigabyte cheaped out on the windforce cards
I'm so annoyed that they're ending the production of the 5070 Ti and the 5060 Ti 16GB
I wanted maybe the 5060 Ti for AI, but the 5070 Ti as a full GPU upgrade, just running the AI stuff on my main PC
Was told removing the back fan might help draw more air into the cpu cooler, thoughts?
i need more context
it's fine lol
I am still hyped for Persona 4 Revival though. My main complaint with Persona 4 Golden is the movement controls in the dungeons.
if they give it the Reload treatment, those controls will be completely fixed
hear me out unique dungeons
i have to explain later
