Why only in the uae

[acoustic palm]

i have a really good joke

but id get muted if i said it

[worn wave]

I assume cost of living is high there so $5 is exceptionally cheap?

Idk

[velvet summit]

5 dollars for a hotdog is like regular vendor prices here

Granted it would be Canadian dollars

A 20 inch hotdog here would be a novelty item so it would be like 20 dollars

Frfr

[random osprey]

wasnt there an option in the US to be able to buy 78 hot dogs for like $40?

[velvet summit]

Why would you need that many weiners

[random osprey]

cause of the goat

[velvet summit]

Also judging by the photo, it looks like a proper cased sausage rather than the more typical hotdogs you see that are just like molded or whatever

[worn wave]

Yeah probably a swedish style of sausage or smthn

[worn night]

Crazy core and vram clock

[nocturne flicker]

For skinless hot dogs, a meat slurry it injected into a cellulose casing, cooked in the casing and then the casing is removed

https://tenor.com/view/how-hotdog-is-made-hot-dog-processed-food-gross-ew-gif-3527448

Yum yum

[velvet summit]

to be fair, sausage making tends to not be very glorious either
but hotdogs take it a step further and turn into the chocolate milkshake/taco bell refried beans after they go through your intestinal tract

[nocturne flicker]

Sausage making on a hand made scale is perfectly normal and fine. That is just grind up pork, add seasoning to the ground pork, add water, roughly mix and press into a tube and into a casing. When you get into heavy industrial processing that is when it gets a bit off putting

[weak cedar]

i wonder if you can just cook all that

just a gaint thing of meat

[nocturne flicker]

You can. It'll just never get warmed all the way through

[random osprey]

get a really large flat top and thin it out so it can cook through

[velvet summit]

depends on the grind size of the meat tbf
plenty of industrial sausages that dont have the meat ground till it looks like clay

industrial chorizo doesnt look anywhere near as

im running out of adjectives lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Industrial chorizo can look worse

[velvet summit]

i guess that depends on what you find to look disgusting?

in fairness, i've not seen any in person

[nocturne flicker]

[velvet summit]

that looks fine lmao

it looks similar to something like laap chong (type of chinese sausage)

[nocturne flicker]

It looks like something and the bits of fat give white corn vibes

[velvet summit]

it also doesnt look much different than uncased chorizo that you can buy, and also when it's cased, it still looks like this but in a tube form

so overall, it's an appearance that you would probably be more familiar with

but hot dogs before they get turned into the rods look almost nothing like the finished product

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, it looks almost exactly the same as an all chicken hot dog

[velvet summit]

what they look like when dried

[nocturne flicker]

All chicken dogs are already pale and disgusting, not too far off from the slurry

[velvet summit]

i've not seen the industrial production of lap chong but homemade it looks something like this before it's cased and dried

if anything, it has more fat than chorizo

which makes it like a flavour bomb with all the spices and sugar and such

How much of an upgrade is this?

[worn night]

Currently I have an ender 3 max neo

So this will be better quality, much faster, newer technologies

I found a sick deal on a cpu motherboard

this dude sold me a 4790k plus an asus rog gene maximus z97m

for under the price of the cpu alone

68.20

hopefully the mobo works tho its pretty dirty

but even if it doesnt its a good deal

4790k 1660 super build coming up

[royal crow]

@dusk knot meant to ask earlier but did you like want a planet made or sm? Might not be very good but I can make a stylized model

[dusk knot]

hmmm....make me a rocky planet with purple plant life with 2 moons. one yellow and the other blue rocks

[royal crow]

Just plain yellow?

Also @grand wasp Minecraft

[dusk knot]

Like sulfur

And the other is a blue moon with a thick blue atmosphere

Realistically I'll probably buy a Steam frame in a year or two

[pliant berry]

I too am on q2. and I can say I haven't been able to enjoy a pcvr game in years. if the frame works on linux im jumping to that as soon as I can

[worn wave]

One of the controllers also has stick drift which doesn't help :(

[pliant berry]

yeah my left controller is very jittery. makes it very difficult to move

[worn wave]

Really hope the lowest spec Frame comes in around $5-600 🙏

[random osprey]

probably gonna be around $600-$700 considering itll probably be better than the quest 3 but lower than the index

Playing silent hill F for 6 hours and was a bit surprised how much the 5090 heated the room up

Active room cooling solutions is definitely needed for owners of this gpu

[dusk knot]

What 5090 model?

[bitter ridge]

Astral

The gpu itself is running under 70c

[dusk knot]

Well when you get a 600w GPU, it gets bad.

Why I love the 5080. Doesn't really heat up my room

But with great power like that 5090, comes great local warming

[lone mango]

Then you have a big room

That card uses quite a bit more power than a 4080

My room is small and well insulated because of where it is

Even without the pc running a game the room can be warm

I have to have the window open all day

I even rotated the vent to have the heating point away from me, towards the wall, and shit still be cooking me

The next step is to get a fan and put it next to the open window to force air in

[worn night]

my pc cooling is so overkill its basically an air conditioner bro

by aio never gets warm even at 100% cpu load

[tranquil pebble]

maybe in a fire after their nvidia cards power connector spontaneously combusted

[worn night]

And 2022 for amd to support it

[lone mango]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

Speaking of which, than means am6 socket is also coming out probably in 2029

[lone mango]

It will take longer for amd again because zen 7 is gonna be on am5

Originally it was actually supposed to be on am6 and ddr6 but they moved it for whatever reason

I am updating this unused laptop to sell it

So glad I’m not installing windows anymore, I forgot about this

[lone mango]

[velvet summit]

Also that is strangely long
Even on a HDD system, I installed Windows 11 IoT and finished updating it in an hour or so

[lone mango]

Ah great and it is 24h2

[velvet summit]

Assuming you're not on hdd

is..is gamestop actually a good company now?

[random osprey]

no retro or third party controllers

Last time I updated builds on a laptop it also took forever

Forgot about this too

[velvet summit]

Maybe your laptops just suck 💔

[lone mango]

So peak

naw

[misty sparrow]

What does this mean

Like they give you credit to use for a new one or?

oh i see nvm

at this point i'd rather fix the stick drift myself hell nah

[opaque sedge]

Suck…

[random osprey]

wonder how much credit that really is though considering its gamestop, would it be enough to cover the cost of an actual controller or is it basically like 3 cents

[opaque sedge]

On

[misty sparrow]

nah, it's like less than half the cost of a new controller

basic white dualsense tradein is like $19

[random osprey]

sadge, thought gamestop was doing a good for once

kinda a good if you have a ded controller that is eligible but otherwise not as good

[misty sparrow]

for how much they give you in tradein value

and if you have soldering experience/someone you know who does soldering

hall effect sticks are $15 for one pair

[worn wave]

Hall effect controller is like $25

[random osprey]

id rather just buy a he controller and trade in the borked one

[worn wave]

[worn wave]

Believe so

[misty sparrow]

It is

[lone mango]

Yo that’s crazy

[misty sparrow]

Either that or Hall effect not sure

[lone mango]

Valve only wins

[worn wave]

Dongle possibly sold separate since it supports 4 controllers at once

[misty sparrow]

No, it comes with a dongle

Steam Machine has one built in too

And comes with the controller

[worn wave]

Officially confirmed? Seems weird to have every controller come with one if it supports 4 at a time

[misty sparrow]

It’s not on the website, but valve did confirm it

[lone mango]

Amd is taking a more measured approach

They would rather optimize ddr5 instead

So being on am5 longer helps the users, and so does getting more out of ddr5

So I guess that is why

A win win

Then when they do adopt ddr6, it will be cheaper

[dense locust]

they should fix am5 memory issues

let me run 4 sticks in peace

[heady plinth]

There were big improvements on that rolled out in bios updates around the end of the summer.

[dense locust]

not that i can afford ram...

[heady plinth]

Unless you need >128gb for something better 2dpc support is not too important anyway.

[dense locust]

but what do i do when firefox uses 40gb

[heady plinth]

Restart your pc and stop leaving 400 tabs open?

[dense locust]

well i aint upgrading any time soon

[bitter ridge]

Zen 6 has a new I/O die iirc and still on Am5

[lone mango]

Yeah what they’ll do with zen 6 is add another memory controller and also make them faster. Probably do it again with zen 7

[lone mango]

Yeah what’s gonna happen is they will get what they can out of ddr5 probably because of how they lagged behind intel. They genuinely do have a lot to make up for in this regard

I wonder though how using a 2 dimm slot board will work with zen 6

Would each controller have each lane?

That would mean crazy speeds

[bitter ridge]

I am just happy I can use my motherboard for like 8 years and still be on top of the performance echelon

[lone mango]

Yeah it works out

They improve on ddr5 and we stay on am5 for longer

Looks like there will be another am4

[bitter ridge]

7800x3d to 9850x3d is a surprisingly big uplift in Baldurs gate 3

[lone mango]

But I have a feeling that there will be some compromises with zen 7

Since it was initially supposed to be on a different platform

But after all, managing compromises and tradeoffs is literally technology

So they’ll figure it out since the launch of that will be like 2028

[lone mango]

A 400 megahertz increase is not small, so that isn’t surprising

The gains you get with that processor depend on the games tested and the graphics card used

Pbo +200 megahertz is like a 5% increase in cinebench. Obviously that’s not a game, but in games where frequency does help more, you get a larger gain

With 9850

[leaden pewter]

A few months back on the tv but the PlayStation I’m assuming a few hours ago

I ordered this recently

[bitter ridge]

People would have already forgot about the launch if it was a 14900ks

[opaque sedge]

Guys whats the point of 5k monitors without like a 5090

4k alone has an obscene amt of pixels

[random osprey]

ai

[elfin mural]

real

[elfin mural]

i don't even know really, it's mostly aimed towards having a lot of pixels on a screen so one can see finer details in an art piece or something like that

[icy ore]

Ye I mean quite literally everything is the exact same minus the name and clock speed yeah?

[elfin mural]

the most logical scenarios i can think of are artwork and photography

[elfin mural]

yes

and a lil more expensive because it's a better bin

a markup for more luck

[icy ore]

what’s the price difference? I forget, I wanna say like $20 lol

[elfin mural]

$50 i believe?

[icy ore]

Ah

Don’t think the typical person would even notice a difference

Esp for gaming

[elfin mural]

ah it's $30 more

the extra clocks net like 10% more

[icy ore]

Hmmm

[elfin mural]

but that can be achieved with a 9800x3d anyway

i have a feeling amd would discontinue the 9800x3d tho

and sell the 850x3d instead

[icy ore]

So is it the gaming cpu now (technically)? Do the 98x3d models still perform better in gaming than the 99x3d counterparts? I know that’s how it was before

[elfin mural]

30 bucks more ain't bad for what is a mild oc

yeah, that is still a fact

it boils down to the ccd design

zen 5's ccd is 8 cores max

go above 8 cores and the latency penalty hits performance in real time applications such as game rendering

[icy ore]

Interesting

[placid plover]

hey dudes, is this a normal behavior for IPS panels?

playing with brightness, gamma and black stabilization doesn't help

[icy ore]

Feels as though they could’ve named them differently then but I think the 58x3d gained so much traction that the x3d models are a saving grace for them

[elfin mural]

yes

that's how ips works

it's not oled

blacks can't be fully black since it's not an oled tech

[icy ore]

Unfortunately yeah

Mine does the same

[elfin mural]

and ips displays have a thing called ips glow

[placid plover]

nonono, it's not about the contrast

it's just that

when i look at it from above

it looks pretty dark

compared to the rest of the screen

[elfin mural]

ah yeah, the viewing angles aren't infinite

it's normal

contrast and color shifts when you view from fringe or extreme angles

[placid plover]

it's not really contrast in this case

but brightness

[elfin mural]

brightness is also affected too by viewing angle, yes

[placid plover]

like it looks as if it's like 30-40 points darker when viewed from above

isn't it supposed to have 178 degree viewing angles?

[elfin mural]

most panels also focus on horizontal angles more than vertical

yes, but that's a horizontal viewing angle

manufacturers often claim horizontal viewing angle

we normally don't look at our screens from above or below anyway

[icy ore]

With all due respect, are you ever actually going to view it this way

[elfin mural]

but rather from side to side

[placid plover]

well, that's the thing

the effect is very noticeable even when looking straight at the centre of the screen at an arm's length from it

but when you look close up it's extremely bad

[elfin mural]

if you don't like how the specific monitor you own looks in the angles you look at. there's only one solution, which is to shell out for a better monitor

if it was recently bought, then you can return it

[placid plover]

i tried

but was told that 'looks fine in the pictures'

[elfin mural]

ah welp

[placid plover]

cause on my old TN monitor it does the opposite

it looks brighter when looked at an angle

not dimmer

[elfin mural]

it depends from panel to panel

the ips panel on my laptop barely shifts in brightness even if viewed from the top

[placid plover]

i just kinda wanna know if it is considered a manufacturing defects and i'm being gaslit by the seller

[elfin mural]

it's not a defect i'm afraid

just a limitation of the monitor's panel

[ashen swan]

paying 20-50 for a bios change is crazy

[bitter ridge]

Higher output res helps dlss/xess/Fsr 4 deliver a better final image

720p upscaled to 5k would look better than 720p upscaled to 4k

[placid plover]

i'll what i can do about that, but thanks for info anwyays

[bitter ridge]

I used 720p as a reference since it's the lowest current upscaling modes go for 4k but with 5k we would need an even lower preset to do 720p to 5k

Its the ram thats the issue not the cpu

They do sketchup which is like cad 3d animation

For home renovation as their business

And they need more ram

[humble oyster]

This pc market is so fried

Cant even run next gen games

Have to buy a ps5 to play gta 6

So stupid

[velvet summit]

Apple is pretty much a must in that then
Purely from brand recognition/prestige

Same reason why realtors basically need a nice car to be able to get richer clients

[humble oyster]

Fair

[velvet summit]

Unironically apple is a factor in trust for some people

[humble oyster]

Its just resale value

I sold a mac pc to someone but my selling point was thunderbolt

Not the fact that it had no ram and no ssd or any way to upgrade it

But for a basic pc i guess it gets the job done

And tbh thunderbolt is about as good as it gets

Asus literally developed an app on web store or Microsoft store to charge your phone faster

[velvet summit]

Thunderbolt is like
Maybe the 2nd or 3rd selling point of the mac pro lmao

[humble oyster]

Its not a great selling point for me

To those that dont know anything it shouldn’t be either

Lol they had no idea what they bought

I mean it was a still a 2023 Mac pc with m3 i think

[velvet summit]

Typically the reason why you would consider buying the mac pro is

1. Macos (for software support of certain Apple products for mainly media creation)
2. The powerful hardware to run that software
3. Good connectivity with the apple ecosystem

No other reason to get the mac pro

Especially since it costs as much as a car new

[acoustic palm]

Then Apple is not the way

[humble oyster]

Some of these gpus have 30 cores

Can be kinda powerful

They want the m5

Which is only gonna be 10 core cpu and 10 core gpu i think

But the m3 pro and m4 /m4 pro are more powerful like 16core

[humble oyster]

For rendering 3d animation you need a gpu

[velvet summit]

Sketchup supports apple m chips natively so it doesn't have any issues with running on Apple

[humble oyster]

The m chips are powerful enough

But im just saying in general thats because a gpu is built into those chips

[velvet summit]

GPUs are built into the Intel and AMD chips as well you know

[humble oyster]

I’m aware

But those generation of macs are much older

They made macs with i9 too

[velvet summit]

talking about laptops that aren't macs

[humble oyster]

In her cade she runs multiple softwares

And the ram is the issue

Not the cpu

A cpu without a gpu could prolly handle what shes doing with integrated graphics

But the new chips have actual gpus pretty much

[humble oyster]

I know that

[velvet summit]

i think that for her job assuming she is face to face with clients, she should be using a mac, but windows laptops would be better value, even ones with a dedicated gpu, and you could get more ram for less than what apple charges as well

[humble oyster]

Exactly

She needs battery life

Non oled

[velvet summit]

oled doesnt actually take that much more power

[humble oyster]

More than ips/led

[velvet summit]

main power savings come from the m chip

[humble oyster]

Using a gpu drains battery regardless

If she gets the pro tho she’ll have a nice display

But u can customize to have a nano pixel display for extra non glare

[worn wave]

Can actually take less if you use oled dark mode I would assume
