As a freelancer, it can get difficult to gauge how much work you can realistically take at a given time and sometimes it can be hard to say no to certain clients. a few times i've booked myself way too much and only realized later

elfin mural
#

that's fair

#

i don't mind it if it's the artist's first experience gauging time

#

as much as i don't like it when it happens, i honestly keep my patience and wait anyway

unreal trail
#

nah you gotta show me something, at least some lineart

pliant berry
#

but yes you should set limits for yourself. that's also why opportunity cost is a thing you should be accounting for

@lone mango its now a copy pasta

we laugh at him, but he was able to farm 40k steam points just for this forum post

just taking half the cost and ghosting me for a month is bad business

it's been around a decade since i watched code geass and the music is still stuck in my head

I wonder, are there converters for that pepehmmm

Somebody has to have tried at some point surely? Even if it just blows up the ram pepehmmm

#

Mmm. Not from what I can see

#

Random Chinese companies making wacky adapters finally found something they can't do?

#

The world is ending

misty sparrow
#

sounds great on paper but this breaks how the point shop works and no one realizes

#

because since you can't get points from awards anymore all the purchaseable items are now overpriced unless you already had gifted points beforehand

velvet summit
#

wait they removed points from steam awards? why 💀

misty sparrow
#

people were making bait reviews and guides and everyone hated it

#

they also switched the old rewards out with "new" ones that look like ass and are soulless

velvet summit
#

my collection

nocturne flicker
#

Man remember when Steam had actually interesting stuff like glitchy games

misty sparrow
#

new awards btw

nocturne flicker
#

Now it is just a store banner gif or two and some stupid emotes

misty sparrow
#

they should've kept the old rewards (except jester) and made it so that the awards give no points except that you are able to tip points to the author

GOODBYE POINT FARMERS

misty sparrow
#

well, it's actually somewhat of a problem

#

let's say you have zero points (or less than the required amount of points) and you want to buy the startup movie/game profile

#

since $1 = 100 points, you'd have to spend $30 for the movie or $50 for the game profile

worn wave
#

Ok so the alternative is farming awards via ragebaiting

#

Which ****ing sucks

misty sparrow
#

nah, it should be awards give no points but you can also tip the author a certain amount

worn wave
#

Ah like the tip is disconnected from the award

#

I suppose

misty sparrow
#

yes

#

but it's not the exact amount the author will get if you tip a certain amount, like how setting prices for items on community market doesn't get you back the exact amount of cash you set

#

so like if you spent 1000 on tips, the author would get like 700

dense locust
misty sparrow
#

probably too good to be true

dense locust
#

look at the date

#

but thats not what im talking about

#

the motherboard is am5

misty sparrow

5700x3d is AM4?

i can't remember sockets for the life of me

dense locust

1000, 2000, 3000, 5000 AM4
7000, 8000, 9000 AM5

misty sparrow
#

okay, so it's AM4

#

-# i don't recall AMD making 8000 series CPUs, I've just been seeing 7000 and 9000

dense locust
#

is their cheaper ones

#

behold

their worst am5 cpu

#

apparently 4000 existed too

mine is atx 4.0

opaque sedge

i think jp has a 3.0

dusk knot
#

Ah.....I have the RM850X

opaque sedge
#

some 3.0 psus had the native 12vhpwr like my be quiet and some didnt

opaque sedge
#

maybe they updated it

dusk knot
#

The PSU I bought was a few years before 12Vhpwr was a thing

opaque sedge
#

then its a 2.x version likely

#

and since ur gpu hasnt melted it prolly means mine's fine

dusk knot
#

Yeah. Everything is fine

#

So a dual 8 pin to 12vhpwr is what I got

#

🤔

opaque sedge

and i have a 12vhpwr to 12vhpwr...

man wish felix was still here

What PSU do you have?

I can help, I just need to focus in a second

damn its at eol

The 5080 fe only consumes 360 watts at stock. You shouldn’t worry about your current PSU

it is extremely tight and hard to get in all the way

Just replace the cable

Not the whole power supply

Just make sure you get a quality cable that’s reliable with what you have

Samsung is involved in a lot of different things

no different than companies like Mitsubishi other than Korea instead of Japan

samsung literally has a whole city in south korea

south korea's economy would literally collapse if samsung falls apart

since you guys have like 2 day shipping times then give the people like a 2 hour window to change their mind

elfin mural

it's not the fault of people, but rather amazon enabling this behavior at all

they don't check what's inside the box, they only check the box's weight

#

amazon uses an automated system for warehouses

lethal jasper
#

amazing

elfin mural
#

yep

#

it's too easy to scam amazon

#

cuz then amazon would resell the thing that got returned

#

without looking inside

#

buy two gpus that look and weight similar enough

#

keep the expensive one

#

but slap the cheaper one into the expensive one's box

#

and issue a return

Last I wanna see is a nerfed 45w variant

elfin mural
#

according to a review

#

it's a 100w

#

or 95w

#

max gpu power tested is 94w

#

it's got impressive batt life to back it too

#

zen 5 efficiency fr

#

all in all it's a great laptop for a great price

rancid juniper

rancid juniper

It's good yea, my main VA monitor has 100% and it looks real nice especially with better contrast

why does a router need that much ram

rancid juniper
#

I tried modding my Netgear router once to install openWRT for it to get bricked

velvet summit
#

lmao

#

tbh idk what they want to do with it, but alot of routers meant to handle a lot of data and clients usually have a fair bit of ram

rancid juniper
#

I need me some adblocking

velvet summit
#

some routers have 64gb ram

#

but those are enterprise gear

#

meant for like a dozen thousand clients

rancid juniper
#

64gb

#

Guessing it's just soldered ram

#

If it wasn't people will try to buy routers to collect ram lol

velvet summit
#

usually it's rdimms i believe

rancid juniper
#

I've never heard of rdimms before

#

The more you know

velvet summit
#

registered dimms, for ecc memory

rancid juniper
#

Ah

#

Makes sense as these things need to be reliable

velvet summit
#

looks like the router i'm looking at uses sodimm with ecc support (cisco catalyst 8500)

rancid juniper
#

atleast its optional

velvet summit
#

all routers from that line come with 16gb ram by default, upgradable to 64gb

How can I tell if I have Directx 9.0c for my Game

tranquil pebble

if you are using a currently supported OS you have it

and even if not the game installer should take care of that on its own

Do note that games old enough to use DirectX 9.0 are likely to have compatibility issues with either Windows 11 or modern hardware

if its an incompatibility, you might not be able to

I don't assume anything about stuff like gold or silver, they are almost purely speculative assets and as such have funni things happen. Which is why I don't go out of my way and try to do gold or silver stacking

You also can use the pigtails and it'll be fine. It's fine on normal psus but be quiet has the 12 pin plugs so it's no issue at all using both of the connectors on their pigtail cables.

If I have no choice but to use that connector for whatever my next upgrade is then I'd just use an octopus. At least then I don't have to worry about the psu side melting. 50% safer!

I don't do it often because it is hard for junk silver and stuff, but I did get a commemorative coin for $19.07 back when it was worth $21 in silver

#

Nothing much but still a little bit

Didn't even have to pay sales tax. Dunno why

Maybe because it was being sold by a Canadian

It is a pretty big shortfall to have to make up. That'd be a lot of borrowing but presumably they had a plan other than 'wish upon a start to find some revenue' before they committed to their buildout.

Not only that there’s several other companies who have invested and made infrastructure for AI, open ai getting hurt wouldn’t necessarily destroy the entire industry

#

If anything the others companies will double down to get ahead i assume

nocturne flicker
#

Private investors don't worry about that when the ceo promises silly things that convinces them to stay in. Promises to tweak the outputs to favor a company here, little recommendations for products there, reminders about the magical infinite profit from AI sprinkled throughout and investors will have stars in their eyes

Especially with an ad roll out

Canada has some interesting commemoratives and special designs

#

They were doing this thing where they'd put the maple leaf on their quarters in red, it was always neat imo considering we don't do anything like that down here

opaque sedge
nocturne flicker
#

Commemoratives are made on purpose in low numbers and are made for collectors, so usually they'll be worth more than their silver content

#

How much is a matter of debate

misty sparrow
#

Has there ever been any defective coins produced

nocturne flicker
#

A ton

misty sparrow
#

Would they be worth more than a standard coin

opaque sedge

Or pirvate companies?

nocturne flicker

Certain designs have well known errors and their worth is determined by how common the error is and the type of error

opaque sedge
#

Coins remind me, when i was in south asia at a time rings with a gold coin with the print of a queen (elizabeth i think) were popular af

#

The coins in the rings likely wasn’t a real mint just a design but its funny to think abt

#

For example the Delaware state quarter from the state quarter series had an error in which there would sometimes be a streak coming out of the mouth of the horse that was called the Spitting Horse error

#

Are these coins ever used as currency rn?

nocturne flicker
#

Sometimes they wind up in circulating money. Someone inherits some coins they don't know anything about and spend it like normal money, someone steals some coins and spend them, someone is hard on money so they'll pull things from their collections that aren't worth much and spend it and etc

#

Junk silver usually gets turned in with customer wrapped rolls of coins to banks or stores, you'll get foreign coins getting through the bank sorting system sometimes and etc

#

can someone give me a crash course on the Backlits of LED and OLED and IPS ?

opaque sedge
elfin mural
#

oled is not backlit

#

IPS is a type of LED display

#

same for VA, PLS, and all sorts of other backlit LED screens

#

AMOLED or OLED is consisted of organic LEDs that can emit light on their own, thus they do not need a backlight to emit light

#

but they have a drawback of burn-in as the pixels permanently burn and brightness get distorted

#

and you see the lack of uniformity as the individual pixels get burned-in at varying intensity

lone mango
#

If I did get an oled, would burn in even be an issue since I am always on such low brightness

elfin mural
#

nope

#

i haven't burned my phone in and it's about like 3 years old by now

#

since i kept using it on low brightness

lone mango
#

I be at like 20% on average

elfin mural
#

burn-in is really only a problem if you like

#

go over 50% brightness constantly

#

modern oleds are also less prone to burn-in as the tech improved

cedar compass
#

High brighness + leaving single image on screen for long perfection

lone mango
#

Linux lets me adjust monitor brightness with my scroll wheel, so I can go from 5% brightness to 30%

#

Yes I really do be at 5% sometimes

elfin mural
#

try to stay at or below 50%

#

and it should last forever

lone mango
elfin mural
#

high brightness + static image is an oled's worst enemy

cedar compass
#

4k oled 32:9 monitor when

elfin mural
#

but they do typically last longer than mini led

#

since mini led puts out a lot of heat

#

the more dimming zones a mini led panel gets

#

the denser pixels are

#

and well.. they emit heat, so it's like toasting itself alive

lone mango
#

Good tek

cedar compass
#

I stuck with G9s till they have dual 4k 49 inch one

elfin mural
#

most mini led tvs also lack the proper cooling to cool the panel down

#

so you end up with a tv that becomes e-waste

#

also note how some like 6+ years old oled phones don't burn in

#

that's because the owner of the phones used them at low brightness

#

or rarely use high brightness if it's really needed

cedar compass
#

I using my phone at low brightness but using white theme kekw

#

Using high brightness only under sunlight

elfin mural
#

that shouldn't harm anything tbh

cedar compass
#

Ended up similar battery drain pepeF

elfin mural
#

yeah light mode definitely uses more battery on oled on the same brightness

#

but if ya crank the brightness on dark mode then that difference disappears lol

cedar compass
#

Yeah kekw

#

I couldn't get used to dark mode so I raised brightness level to see KEKW

lone mango
#

Good thing you bring yhis up

#

That acer refurb has lower battery life than what people expected

#

In this test the guy has it at 50%

elfin mural
#

it's simple really, oled emits light on its own

#

so anything that's not black is a pixel turned on

#

and brightness well, determines how much power the pixels need

lone mango
#

But I should get more since I have it so low all the time

elfin mural
#

hmm

#

yeah

#

plus you're gonna put linux on it

#

windows automatically takes away an hour or two lmao

lone mango
#

Good tek

#

The cpu is cracked

elfin mural
#

oled actually can consume quite a bit of power if it's cranked up

#

compared to IPS

#

but well, ips doesn't have the ability to literally turn the pixels off

#

so with the right environment and configuration, oled wins

#

ips needs backlight, so that thing is constantly running

lone mango
#

Right

#

Bro can’t type fr

elfin mural
#

one thing i ask for is a matte oled panel on a gaming laptop

#

preferably a legion

#

but no laptop so far has a matte oled

#

it's a bummer to me

lone mango
#

When you adjust the brightness on windows, is it changing by 10% with each key press or 5%

elfin mural
#

i don't quite remember

#

lemme try on my laptop rn

lone mango
#

Like with the keyboard shortcut

#

If it is 10% then I was either on 10 or 20% earlier

elfin mural
#

it's 10% steps

#

10 steps

#

so you can only go down to 10% on windows

lone mango
#

Typically 10% is what I am on with this laptop currently

elfin mural
#

and one thing to note, battery life figures are on a low brightness setting

#

the exact brightness the oem uses is well.. not standardized, so you'll have to research

lone mango
lone mango
elfin mural
#

hmm

#

interesting

lone mango
#

That’s ~11000 multicore when looking at the other bars as a reference

#

It’s also something like 3000x2000

#

3200x2000 and 120hz, so I think that battery life is reasonable

lone mango
#

On my current which is a 1240p

#

Not uncommon depending on the kind of project

#

I have had a couple be nearly max

elfin mural
#

isn't the zenbook amd?

#

that'd explain the battery life

lone mango
#

So from top to bottom

#

Zen 4, 3, 3 1360p, 1355u

elfin mural
#

ah

lone mango
#

7840u, 7730u, 7530u

lone mango
#

The refresh

elfin mural
#

it is quite decent

#

i used to get 8 hours if i really need it to on windows

#

on a fresh battery without discord running

#

i have 7735hs on 90wh batt on my laptop

#

on around 25% brightness out of 250 nits on my ips panel

lone mango
#

This battery is toast

elfin mural
