Its gotten worse arguably

[heady plinth]

Still going up even.

[opaque sedge]

Not just ram now btw

[trail nest]

so should i buy pre-build from costco?

[opaque sedge]

Its gpus and ssds too

[sinful blade]

Possibly

What’s the link to it

[opaque sedge]

Nah costco’s are a bit overpriced, preferably get a microcenter prebuild

[heady plinth]

Depends which one and what you can get elsewhere in the same price range. Costco has good deals sometimes if you don't mind ending up with a cyberpower.

[trail nest]

i live like 2 hours away from the nearest microcenter

[heady plinth]

What sort of budget range are you looking at? Do you have a monitor already? Any favorite games and performance goals?

[trail nest]

i want to play league of legends in 4K

[heady plinth]

You only really need something a step above a potato for that.

[opaque sedge]

Worth it imo, these come with free games too rn, amd builds come with crimson desert and builds with nvidia 50 series cards 5070 and up i believe get resident evil requiem, the top one may come with both so be sure to ask

[heady plinth]

Lol is about as light as games get.

[opaque sedge]

The second is really great value rn

No free games but good entry level build too

If you are planning on playing heavier AAA type games in 4k I'd try to look for something with a 9070 gpu or better though.

Bit of a longshot, anyone here have experience with Motorola's newer razr phones? Not the old flip phones

[pliant berry]

The modern flip phones?

My dad dailies one but it’s practically destroyed

[sinful blade]

Mercari

And HWS

[bitter ridge]

Flip phones are niche to begin with and Samsung is the leading branding which makes them so motorola would be even rare

[empty tide]

Figured. Was asking because I need to replace my phone and they're running their razr 2025 ultra (the us variant of the razr ultra 60) for half off, probably getting rid of inventory

I could care less about the folding screen but a snapdragon 8 elite, 1tb rom, and 16gb ram for $800 doesn't sound that bad

[acoustic palm]

[tacit geode]

So now everything is shipped but one package from Plainfield dc

That's annoying

Even other stuff from Plainfield has been picked up

[worn night]

hard drive doesnt have to mean its an hdd from the looks of it neither one of them are the most knowledgeable about pc parts

and even then a 500gb or 1tb 2.5 ssd aint that bad

[rancid juniper]

true but i feel like the price should be slightly lower

[worn night]

trust me man go 100 dollars lower and you're in ddr3 4th gen i7 builds

[rancid juniper]

tho that corsair liquid cooler + ram being involved 💀

[rancid juniper]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[worn night]

exactly its ddr4

the price is great

[worn night]

I sold a 4790k rx 580 16gb ddr3 2400mts build for 450

and a 3770k rx 580 16gb 1600mts build for 400

market is great for flippers like me lol

[rancid juniper]

and my freaking RX 570 pc with a 4590 in it cant even sell for $170

W
T
F

[worn night]

thats cause its a 4590

i5's are trash for that gen

[rancid juniper]

4590 is still a capable cpu what

[worn night]

i7 is the bare minimum

[worn night]

its really not man

4 threads is ewaste atp

4th and 3rd gen i7s doing 4+ ghz on 8 threads is what you gotta go for

[rancid juniper]

i sold a 4790 sff pc years back

i liked that machine

had a cool radeon pro gpu inside

[unreal trail]

🫵

[misty sparrow]

Gee I wonder if I can sell my Alienware prebuilt for this much

I probably could since it’s got a 1060 6GB and an 8th gen intel processor

Maybe higher?

[worn night]

yes

[misty sparrow]

cool what price are you thinking

[gleaming sedge]

my monitor arm is starting to get weak and does not want to let it stay up, was wondering if there is a bit of a diy solution on keep it holding it up?

[worn night]

is it an 8th gen i5 or i7

how much ram and what type

storage too

send a picture

[misty sparrow]

no picture on me because it's at another place

[worn night]

the master appraiser shall name a price

bru

[misty sparrow]

i5-8400, 24GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung 990 SSD, 4TB Seagate hard drive

[worn night]

whoa

that has insane value

IF you upgrade the cpu

[misty sparrow]

the upgrade path is slim

[worn night]

actually take out the hard drive and half the ram and put an i7 in and itll be perfect

[misty sparrow]

and dont know why i would upgrade the system if it's this old

its not even my main PC anymore

[worn night]

to sell it for more

[misty sparrow]

what would i do with the i5 then

[worn wave]

Lowkey I would sell that nvme seperately

Wait 24gb ddr4

[misty sparrow]

The prebuilt didn't originally come with those drives

It came with 500GB HDD

I took it out, still have it

[worn wave]

What speed and how many sticks?

[misty sparrow]

I have no idea

Definitely two sticks

It's probably one 8GB and one 16GB because I remember starting off with 8

Don't know the speed, but it's probably defaulting to the speed the 8GB is at

8GB is some default Dell RAM while the 16GB is a red Gskill ram module I believe, going off memory

[misty sparrow]

BTW That SSD is not PCIE 4, it's PCIE 3, is that a problem

[worn wave]

Eh

Pcie3 still fine

[misty sparrow]

The motherboard doesn't support PCIE4 anyway

That's why I got a PCIE3 SSD

[worn wave]

May be worth to sell the gskill stick seperate as well then

[misty sparrow]

So just sell the system with just one 8GB stick inserted?

[worn wave]

Granted then you have an 8gb build to sell but it's an 8400

[slate fractal]

https://youtube.com/shorts/zZ98DPIp0a4?si=WpFcc4zgn2FfaeTb

sigh

[worn wave]

Maybe fish for a cheap 8gb stick to match the OEM one idk

[sinful blade]

TLDR?

[worn night]

i got you one minute

ok its too much just watch it

[slate fractal]

discord, roblox, etc are logging facial scans and id scans and putting them on watchlists to build a profile for anybody that submits identity on any site that uses the same verification

and sending it to the government

[sinful blade]

Okay
So me putting namor from rivals is doing nothing for them

Sweet

[acoustic palm]

hmmmmm

[slate fractal]

i already did identity verification for my roblox account 😔 am i cooked

[misty sparrow]

3 Hackers looking to bypass age verification checks done by the Persona company accidentally stumbled onto a report that Persona, OpenAI and the US government was using face scans to feed their identity surveillance system. When someone puts in their ID, it tracks you on like 13 different services including geolocation

[slate fractal]

[acoustic palm]

my main one has 2 ssds

[worn night]

its a must have

[sinful blade]

(Give me the 3060ti and I’ll give you my 5700xt, trust)

[misty sparrow]

This with an SSD could sell for a lot of money

I'm thinking above $600

[worn wave]

Even a 500gb ssd in there bumps the value significantly

[acoustic palm]

oh i was thinking about 600-650 without the ssd 😭

[elfin mural]

persona is linked to palantir, so im not surprised

[worn night]

try at 700 dollars first the lower if needed

[elfin mural]

yay mass surveillance

[acoustic palm]

im guessing a 1tb ssd in there would have more value than a 1tb ssd in my main rig

[misty sparrow]

I'd remove the HDD and put an SSD in

Save the HDD

[acoustic palm]

i get the hdd for free

sooooo

[worn night]

yes

perfect

[acoustic palm]

yeah then i can switch out the ssd from my secondary rig

1tb ssd with allat would be how much? 700?

more?

[misty sparrow]

nah i'd say $800

No money involved

[misty sparrow]

including tax

Yours can sell for more because of this AI stuff

[acoustic palm]

hmmmm

[misty sparrow]

In fact I could probably sell my PC for higher than I got it for lmao

[acoustic palm]

i could

if i got lets say 750

[worn night]

it can happen bro it just need to be anonymous then no ones at risk cause you dont know who you're selling to

[acoustic palm]

then lets say like... 650-700 for my monitors

what about my main pc i wonder

[misty sparrow]

[acoustic palm]

we only get them on roadtrips

usually

Sometimes they run any sub for 6.99 coupons

[misty sparrow]

they were going to charge me $11 for a philly cheesesteak footlong with no meal or drink, just the sandwich

[acoustic palm]

we have a local sub place thats so good even (someone i cant say) promoted it

[misty sparrow]

it wasnt until i lowered the price by $8 that i got a good deal

[acoustic palm]

but the owner is lowk sexist and racist and i think he was a pdf

[acoustic palm]

do you see how lackluster that board is

have you never seen the 5090 pcb

[misty sparrow]

i know they were looking at auctions for 4090/5090 pcbs a few days ago so i guessed

[dense locust]

I almost one one but I chickened out at 830

[acoustic palm]

was it dead?

[acoustic palm]

why is that so low

[dense locust]

Yes

[acoustic palm]

what was the issue

[dense locust]

Didn’t say

[acoustic palm]

thats way too risky

[dense locust]

I’m using this mining gpu as a practice board

$25

[acoustic palm]

could be buying basically worthless board for over 800$

[dense locust]

Ram is worth something

[misty sparrow]

did you try soldering and you failed

[dense locust]

Not $800

[misty sparrow]

is that what happened

[dense locust]

But something

[acoustic palm]

good luck trying to sell it

[dense locust]

No this is how it arrived

It is rusted on some parts

I assume water damage

[misty sparrow]

oh

[dense locust]

Maybe ram and core are still ok

[misty sparrow]

soldering looks hard thats what i assumed

[dense locust]

Probably

I need my soldering station

[acoustic palm]

@dense locust wanna know a life hack

[dense locust]

But that still isn’t shipped yet

[acoustic palm]

take the vram off a board and put it on ram sticks

youll get ddr7 speeds on a ddr5 socket

[dense locust]

[acoustic palm]

🔥

[dense locust]

I don’t think they chips will fit

[acoustic palm]

make them fit.

bend it around the top

[dense locust]

If I ever get good I’ll buy some ddr5 ram chips to fix

How did they achieve this

why you burn a marshmellow there?

But no clue if the chip is alive

Doesn’t look promising

i've never seen a burnt thermal pad

does that thermal pad have like

what do you even call those? eyelets? punched into them?

oh wait

the pad is on a metal plate

[idle nexus]

that's really burned... like random paperclip shorted stuff to stuff or something burned

[velvet summit]

that makes a bit more sense lmao

[dense locust]

It went thought the entire board

Ewaste now tbh

[idle nexus]

which GPU is it? is it worth the time & effort to fix?

[dense locust]

Will make a good practice board

[dense locust]

Not really worth being fixed

It’s 1660 power equivalent

[idle nexus]

supposedly you can get like blank PCBs & use a hot air station thing to move the GPU & memory to a new PCB but that's like sorcery to me

[dense locust]

You can but I don’t know if the core survived the explosion

[idle nexus]

I have an Asus Strix GTX 970 & a MSI GTX1080ti Gaming X I wanted to try to fix so maybe someday I won't be awful at soldering

The item needed to reball a gpu is hella expensive tho

like someday I'd really like to make my 3070 16gb

[dense locust]

I guess I’ll stick to ram for now

[idle nexus]

doesn't Louis Rossman sell a pretty good hot air station for a reasonable price? I've never looked into it tbh

[dense locust]

You need a special hot air station

To reball a gpu

[idle nexus]

oh damn really? aren't those like $1300 or something wild? Again, I've never really looked into it

but I think it's cost-prohibitive enough that you wouldn't buy it unless you plan to use it to make money type thing

[dense locust]

Yes

I bought a hot air station recently

Taking forever to ship

Probably because it’s from china

But repair people said it was good so I trust them

Hopefully

[idle nexus]

NorthridgeFix on YT is pretty good. The dude is a little arrogant but does good work

do you have a microscope?

[dense locust]

What repair guy isn’t arrogant

[idle nexus]

ya that's pretty consistently true lol

[idle nexus]

how does this accomplish... what's the goal? I'm confused

[velvet summit]

school
school, japan

[idle nexus]

ig I should read the article instead of asking what a cram school is lol

[velvet summit]

Cram school is basically a summer school I guess?

[pliant berry]

extra school

[idle nexus]

ah right, "a specialized educational institution designed to help students study intensively and achieve specific academic goals, often for entrance exams or standardized tests."

[pliant berry]

because there is never enough school

[velvet summit]

School²

[velvet summit]

School school we need more school

Indeed

[misty sparrow]

I think it’d work because it’s Japan

Wouldn’t work anywhere else

[calm sparrow]

Yeahh

[calm sparrow]

But why your's name "I have no gf"?😂

[wary fjord]

That could work..

[median kelp]

So I'm using my first oled class monitor

and I realized my astigmatism is genuinely a limiting factor

My cursor on a black background gets the shinies around it

[random osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/lights-fan-gif-11725229

[median kelp]

My eyes have become the bottleneck I need to remove them and upgrade

Coming from a 4K 144hz IPS from 2021 to a QD Oled 240hz is like

the color difference is creeping me out a bit

Everything looks so much less gray that idk if I like it

[lone mango]

Yeah the difference can be unsettling

I imagine it would be the same way for me too

[median kelp]

its crazy that this happens with a MONITOR because the difference between light and dark is so drastic

my phone screen is too small for the amoled to cause this so I didn't know this could happen

[elfin mural]

they need to have a "reduce white point" option

[tranquil pebble]

maybe you could accomplish something of the sort with a color profile

[dense locust]

[elfin mural]

hmmmmmm

[sand hill]

oooookay i got questions that need answer asap so let's get this started
now who know these

https://c1.neweggimages.com/productimage/nb1280/14-133-903-02.png
( PNY ARGB OC GeForce RTX 5070 12GB 192-Bit GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card VCG507012TFXXPB1-O ) is this the best one for 2026? and run well on games like cyberpunk, doom dark age, etc etc (including maybe high on life 2 and halo campaign evolved

https://c1.neweggimages.com/productimage/nb1280/14-932-777-02.jpg
( GIGABYTE WindForce GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-N5070WF3OC-12GD ) same goes for this as well and which of them is the best as well?

Oh yeah I don’t mind the reply as long there’s an answer

[bitter ridge]

5070 will run everything fine until maybe when we start getting ps6 exclusive titles which is probably 4 or 6 years from now also the pny looks better to my eyes so I would get that

[sand hill]

please forgive my reply but i'm guessing both is good right? keep in mind i'm looking a best one that runs well and fine like the games i mention before especially half life 2 and portal rtx (if you seen that)

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[slate fractal]

did yall hear about the r6 exploit

apparently people are using the kill log to make the game display an image from a gif link

[empty tide]

The more research I do on what phones Americans can actually use the sadder I get when I see what everyone else can use

[unreal trail]

land of the free

playstation button blocks

[dusk knot]

[velvet summit]

13 pieces of wood + carrying case for 80 dollars...

[ashen swan]

yall

should i get
ASUS ZenScreen MB16NCG 2560X1600 155hz

Asus Zenscreen MB16QHG 2560X1600 HDR 400 120HZ

MQ16AHE OLED 60 Hz 1080P

leaning more towards the MB16QHG cause it has HDMI

[dusk knot]

Hmm

I'd go for option one

HDR on an IPS is a no from me

[ashen swan]

though option 2 has normal HDMI for my B60

[dusk knot]

And you're getting less fps

Oh

What does the other one have?

[ashen swan]

i dunno bout a adapter

[dusk knot]

The first one

I see

[ashen swan]

type c and mini hdmi

not even mini DP if i wanted to get B50

[dusk knot]

Alright

[nocturne flicker]

Adapter? I hardly know her

[ashen swan]

moving to canada soon so building sff build

[dusk knot]

Maybe you should

She's quite adaptable

[dusk knot]

Ok.....uuuuggh

Tech news

[worn night]

Jp killed chat again

@rancid juniper I tested marvel rivals

idk if i just set it up wrong but i didnt really see an fps change

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-tantrum-sad-frierentantrum-frieren-tantrum-gif-8461442788629095170

[worn night]

on high settings with fg off i got a steady 60-80 fps

when i turned on all the xess and fg and stuff in both rivals and in the graphics software it really didnt change

[ashen swan]

Fg !?!?! In a shooter !?

[worn night]

You know of any other free games that support intel xess mfg

???

[ashen swan]

No

[worn night]

Then yes mfg in a shooter

But I tried this with the early access hacked software, now i'll try the official newest one

[rancid juniper]

Is this multi FG?

[worn night]

It just said in game enable xefg

not enable mfg

[rancid juniper]

Did you restart the game?

[worn night]

Oh

Nah

I'll try that

[rancid juniper]

Because I had to restart mines in order to activate fsr FG yea

[worn night]

im an idiot

but it did not mention i had to restart so L game

Marvel rivals really is just overwatch with marvel characters instead

[potent dune]

this happened and now my pc keeps asking for my bitlocker recovery key every time it starys

what do i do to fix

[bitter ridge]

yes

[potent dune]

anyone?

[dense locust]

I would check the health of the drive

[lone mango]

Those who know

[rancid juniper]

@worn night did XeFG mfg work now?

[cedar compass]

Who said ram shortage?

[rancid juniper]

HE HAS RAM GET HIM!!!

[cedar compass]

[cedar compass]

silly amazon shipped 12 of them instead 13 tho

[worn night]

not doing it yet

[rancid juniper]

ok

[grand wasp]

poll is up!!!! And I'm super curious

[grand wasp]

HOLY WHAT

[cedar compass]

[misty sparrow]

Is this supposed to be a collectors piece

[bitter ridge]

Doesn't look like a special edition model

[misty sparrow]

It’s EVGA, still in the box

[bitter ridge]

Yeah but not a special edition model like example a Cyberpunk limited edition 2080ti

[misty sparrow]

It could still be that, but just with a bad price so

[icy ore]

Interesting

[bitter ridge]

I hope I am wrong but because of the over sharpened look this kinda looks like Ai generated to me

[potent dune]

I just disabled bitlocker and it fixed it, home pc anyways

[dusk knot]

Mah brain has clocked out. Can’t game

[dusk knot]

mental slowness....

[random osprey]

what are you ordering the chicken to fry? i assume veggies

[unreal trail]

sadge

[velvet summit]

might be ai generated judging by the "fur"/hair
though it's just the release image which tbf typically is just a render and even before ai typically looks nothing like the graphics in the actual game

[craggy shoal]

Bruh zoom in. It looks like somebody point their camera at the screen instead of it being a screenshot

Photo quality: phone at screen
Photo crop: screenshot-quality

Tf is this lmao

[velvet summit]

im 80% certain it's ai generated

interestingly enough, ai detection tools thinks its human

4/5 of them were 95-99% certain it was human, 1 is 100% certain it's ai 🧐

[misty sparrow]

no really, step outside and get some sunlight

move around a little

[velvet summit]

i think the human added text and logos are throwing the detection results off

[random osprey]

no cartoons or video games

[velvet summit]

i'm gonna test with just the likely to be ai part to see what the ai detectors think

[random osprey]

4 and 3 or just cause angle it looks like 3?

back left leg in front of person

gotta analyze everything

gonna get to a point where artists just gotta livestream everything they do

[misty sparrow]

Do those AI detectors even work

[pliant berry]

Yall crazy

[misty sparrow]

I don’t know if it’s the same as the ones that scan text

[random osprey]

youre crazy

[pliant berry]

This is also a horribly over saturated version of the actual released image

[icy ore]

Damn

It’s bad we’re at this point where everything has to be analyzed

[opaque sedge]

Maybe its an AI generated image that has been altered?

[velvet summit]

ai detector ratio human:ai
3:4 (+1 50% certain)

[nocturne flicker]

AI detectors are iffy at best

[velvet summit]

i have no clue for images

[nocturne flicker]

Especially the ones for text

[velvet summit]

for text yeah they work reasonably well (well enough to catch most lazy cases)

if you edit it then you could make it not detect it

[nocturne flicker]

The text ones are the worst ones actually, because they get used by colleges and taken as gospel in situations that can literally blacklist someone from colleges and entire industries

[velvet summit]

i mean, taking the detection "as gospel" would definitely be a dumb idea

for my college they do use ai detectors but there is human review to rule out false positives

relying soly on ai to detect ai is just as bad as using ai to do the homework assignments in the first place

[nocturne flicker]

Yup. And a lot of places dgaf

[misty sparrow]

I put in some of my essays in there and it said some parts were made by AI when I made it myself

Truly inaccurate

[velvet summit]

i've tried some for some of my essays and they've all been like 85-100% certain it's human written

im so human

[nocturne flicker]

Almost as if trying to determine if something was made by something trying to imitate human writting also will result in it thinking human writting is imitating human writing

[velvet summit]

i typically run mine through an ai detector just to see if it gets a high rating so i could edit it to avoid the trigger words just so it doesnt get flagged at all, but so far nothing has which is nice

[opaque sedge]

Can’t even make ur language in essays sound refined anymore… 🥀

[velvet summit]

typically it's more suspicious of when something is formatted too well though, specifically like when i use a table

[nocturne flicker]

You write an essay in a competent manner and try to use appropriate language for the subject? You use AI, time for you to be kicked out of college

We'll only review the case if you sue us

Also your $20k tuition will not be refunded, enjoy finding a lawyer willing to work pro bono

[velvet summit]

i keep forgetting how expensive US schools are

💀 they dont want you to go to higher education on god

[bitter ridge]

Expensive even when normalized to their higher wages ?

[velvet summit]

yes

minimum federal wage in the US is like currently like 13 dollars an hour or something like that

[nocturne flicker]

No

7.25

[tranquil pebble]

In many states it is higher

[velvet summit]

oh

i thought i heard something about them raising it

[nocturne flicker]

States tend to have their own, but a couple have federal minimum

[velvet summit]

i guess not

[nocturne flicker]

Federal minimum hasn't been raised since 2009 and it hadn't been raised before that since the Clinton era. We aren't getting a raise any time soon

[tranquil pebble]

Also fun fact with the US: double jeopardy does not protect you from prosecution by both state and federal for crimes

[velvet summit]

minimum amount of hours you have to work to make enough for 1 year of tuition at the federal minimum wage ong (and income tax isnt even accounted for and cost of living which is also high af)

[tranquil pebble]

more often than not, minimum wage does not even cover the cost of living

[nocturne flicker]

Well, technically it was raised in 2007 that gradually increased over a three year period per the law that it was passed in

[tranquil pebble]

So you have a ton of people relying on govt support because that is the only way to survive

[nocturne flicker]

20k isn't a standard number, just something than can be expected as tuition at a big university if you don't qualify for anything

[velvet summit]

i have several friends that have higher than 20k though

though if you go to community college it's far cheaper

[tranquil pebble]

I cant even afford that

[velvet summit]

but like... yeah.... even if you work at like 15 dollars an hour you're still struggling in the states lmao

[nocturne flicker]

In state tuition for University of Tennessee for example is 14k

If you live on campus and get campus food, that is another 15k

And the estimate for books is about 1.6k

[pliant berry]

If you look into it enough you can go to college very cheap though it may not be the fanciest college. Basically all my friends went to college for free or less

[velvet summit]

less than free?

[random osprey]

get paid to go to college 🗿

[pliant berry]

Yeah, get paid couple hundred to couple thousand per sem

[velvet summit]

damn

[pliant berry]

There are resources out there, just gotta look for em

[nocturne flicker]

And make sure you never leave your home state for college because out of state tuition is literally criminal

[pliant berry]

Oh yeah xD

[nocturne flicker]

UT in state is 14k, tuition for out of state is 33k

All because you dared to be born and live in a different state

[velvet summit]

one of my friends is in pretty deep debt because their parents forced them to go to a uni that cost like 15k a semester, they took 2 and dropped out (their parents also refused to pay tuition and made them take out loans for that uni)

actual scam on god

[nocturne flicker]

Sounds familiar except my parents couldn't afford to pay tuition

[velvet summit]

their parents are middle class

so literally no reason why they refuse to pay

asides from them just being shit parents

[nocturne flicker]

The only reason I don't have like, 30k in debt is because the Parent PLUS loan got cancelled due to my mother being disabled, and I didn't have to actually take on the loan

[velvet summit]

like imagine forcing your child to take a program they didn't even enjoy at a uni they didn't even want and making them handle the debt for all of that

actual crazy work

[nocturne flicker]

I don't have to imagine

[velvet summit]

rip

[nocturne flicker]

My mother pushed me into biomedical engineering despite not even wanting to go to college

[pliant berry]

Learning about finances and debt i guess lol

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

I'm at the gym now. I feel better

[iron finch]

my mom basically forced me to do college prep classes all of highschool

then got dumbfounded when i never went to college

she also thought i could do college in highschool

like get a degree

at 16

[nocturne flicker]

College classes in HS are fine if you don't have to pay for them and can handle the material. I took advance classes in HS in specific subjects because I wanted to

[iron finch]

yeah they were just AP classes but easier

but my ma genuinely believed that i would get an associates from them

:3c

[nocturne flicker]

Advanced History courses were infinitely superior and nothing can change my mind

[iron finch]

history was like the only class i remember that wasnt pure boredom

that and welding

[lone mango]

At least I didn't get a bachelor's

Cant imagine having crippling debt

[iron finch]

im stupid and poor

not smart and poorer

[lone mango]

An associate's didnt get me anywhere but at least I am not in debt

[iron finch]

i got nothing but a job

and a good pc

:3c

[nocturne flicker]

I actually took on more debt trying for an associates than the bachelor's I attempted

The magic of getting a loan cancelled and not being responsible for the money anyways

[velvet summit]

they may be correct

But it’s only February

Now here's why we should roll back all pollution protection standards and inject CO2 directly into our bloodstreams frfrfr

[acoustic palm]

OK

I found the perfect laptop

🔥

I’m busy all weekend so I’ll ask about it maybe sometime next week

[bitter ridge]

https://www.theverge.com/news/882241/microsoft-phil-spencer-xbox-leaving-retirement

[tranquil pebble]

"leaving"... probably chose to quit rather than be terminated or something

[acoustic palm]

Wait

That’s not OLED

Sigh time to keep searching

[tranquil pebble]

overpriced as hell

[velvet summit]

if you care about keyboards at all, see if you can demo the laptop anywhere because looking at it, i wouldnt like typing on it
nvm i guess since you changed your mind lmao

[lone mango]

All strix halo is really expensive

[bitter ridge]

There was a 120hz OLED Strix Halo laptop but I forgot the name

[lone mango]

I understand why it is though

[heady plinth]

That seems like a really fancy tablet more than a $2000 laptop.

[velvet summit]

my personal preference for laptops is basically

• good enough keyboard
• works
• colour accurate screen

[heady plinth]

For me
-Keyboard
-Battery
-IPS

[bitter ridge]

I would prefer to have a igpu only laptop whenever possible

They usually have less sleeping related issues

[lone mango]

For whatever reason the igpu laptops are much worse value than ones with dedicated graphics

[velvet summit]

quok's requirements are basically

• oled
• igpu only
• good battery life
• current gen processor
• touchscreen with pen support

[lone mango]

I don't know why that is

[heady plinth]

And build quality. I wouldn't want like an aspire or an hp.

[tranquil pebble]

market is hecked lol

[acoustic palm]

Touchscreen is needed

[velvet summit]

my asus had so many of those issues w/ armoury crate on god
ghelper helped alot with those issues though

[velvet summit]

forgot to add that right

[lone mango]

But from a value standpoint you might as well get a gaming laptop and disable the graphics since the gaming laptops have better displays and igpu laptops, which usually have some shitty 60hz panel

[acoustic palm]

Price isn’t the like biggest factor

But nothing ludicrous

[acoustic palm]

I need it to be a 2 in 1 with the screen able to go all the way around with pen and touchscreen support

Gaming laptops… kinda don’t have that

[lone mango]

The igpu laptops with a good screen are way more expensive than they should be

[lone mango]

Brutal pricing incoming

[pliant berry]

My requirements:
apple silicon
Battery
More than 16gb ram
1tb storage min
Keyboard (optional)
Color accurate screen
High ppi
More than 2 ports

[lone mango]

Unfortunately

[acoustic palm]

I’m not paying for it

Lmao

[lone mango]

Brutal pricing incoming

[acoustic palm]

My dad said he’d buy me one device for college

[pliant berry]

[bitter ridge]

So someone from a non gaming related department will be leading Xbox

[acoustic palm]

I mean

That’s kinda what I’m going for

I want a high performance tablet/laptop

[lone mango]

Goodbye xbox

[pliant berry]

Lol what is that picture of her

[bitter ridge]

Jim Ryan had such a graceful exit and Phill Spencer seems to be getting kicked out

[lone mango]

Xbox death from a thousand cuts

[heady plinth]

Did you look at yogas?

[pliant berry]

Almost looks fake, too much of her neck is covered and her body is turned too far with hair covering the entire shoulder, makes her head look enormous

[acoustic palm]

Do they have 2 in 1 with an igpu and high battery life with a good screen?

[heady plinth]

They have touch oleds I'm not sure if they have high refresh touch oleds.

[acoustic palm]

I do kinda want 120hz at least

[acoustic palm]

They don’t have the MAX+ 395

Lowk tho

If I get the ROG one with 128gb ram… 🤤

[heady plinth]

I've been looking at the core ultra ones myself. If I can find a good deal on a 226v in a non garbage tier shell that's what I want.

[acoustic palm]

9950x + 4060 desktop with 128gb of ram on a tablet with 15 hours of battery life

🔥

[acoustic palm]

I was looking at the panther lake stuff but…

The performance isn’t as high as what I’d like

[sand hill]

better make this quick but thanks, maybe i'll get the pny one

[heady plinth]

I don't really care about the gpu. It would be a work laptop and that's just text editing.

[acoustic palm]

I’m gonna do engineering

So I kinda want performance

[nocturne flicker]

Tbh, she'll probably be just as much of a failure as Spencer, just in a different way

[acoustic palm]

And like… I charge my stuff overnight

Anything about like 15 hours of battery life is redundant basically

[rancid juniper]

7 minutes late but wow that's wild

Finally, Phil canceller leaving Xbox

[misty sparrow]

Is this good or bad

I don’t know what Phil did

[rancid juniper]

Xbox is already in a crap state I doubt it'll get better

[nocturne flicker]

Status quo, she has no real experience with video games, is more focused on business management

[random osprey]

make me ceo of xbox and ill save it 🗿

[nocturne flicker]

Nothing too interesting tbh

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[acoustic palm]

Hmmmm might have to give up on OLED

[rancid juniper]

My guy...

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe she'll salvage the disaster that is Xbox's marketing but other than that Xbox is still dead in the water

[bitter ridge]

If you want 2 in 1 and Strix Halo the Asus flow is the only option sadly @acoustic palm

[rancid juniper]

The "Everything is an Xbox" sealed it

[random osprey]

bro has no faith in me

[nocturne flicker]

Wegg Console when

Make the Egg Machine

[rancid juniper]

It's not that, they'll likely boot you off early because they see you not chasing profits

[acoustic palm]

Yeah I did find some other stuff but looked sketchy

[bitter ridge]

Sarah Bond resigning was the most shocking thing to me

[random osprey]

ill chase profits, just not in the first 2 years cause i gotta fix the boat so it can hold the treasure

[nocturne flicker]

She probably resigned because she got turned down for his job

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/WEELIAO-OneXPlayer-Super-Magnetic-Keyboard/dp/B0GKPWS1N3 very sketch

[rancid juniper]

Couldn't take all that pressure going on these past couple years idk

[rancid juniper]

Real business man tactic

[nocturne flicker]

Nah. More likely she got turned down for the job and decided she could go be the CEO of some other gaming related business

[bitter ridge]

Seems like a real product I was thinking availability for you might be the more sketchy part

[rancid juniper]

Get ready to see more ai slop on Xbox

[bitter ridge]

Have to be real doubtful about that

[nocturne flicker]

Like, she's already on the board of the ESA, has been high up in T-Mobile and was the one representing Microsoft during the trials over the Activision acquisition, Bond isn't going to have any problems finding another ship to jump onto

[acoustic palm]

I don’t need it soon

I just need it before summer

[frigid stag]

[misty sparrow]

cyberpunk on the ps4

[frigid stag]

The litterbox part of that meme was the only accurate part

[tranquil pebble]

a pc cooled by a nuclear reactor cooling loop

[opaque sedge]

Haha even if it runs decent the ps4 version is locked to 1.6

[misty sparrow]

I’ve been thinking it means they won’t let their STORE be flooded with AI slop like Steam or PSN

[random osprey]

about 1 month before they bring back the kinect with co-pilot installed

[misty sparrow]

Not that they won’t use AI in their games

[rancid juniper]

Likely this

[misty sparrow]

I already have it on PS5 but don’t have it with me

[rancid juniper]

MAXIMUM SURVEILLANCE

[misty sparrow]

But I do have my PS4

[worn night]

weeliao also sells photon B580s

[misty sparrow]

A bit strange how buying it on PS5 didn’t come with the PS4 ver by default

[opaque sedge]

Yeah the second quote is clear evidence of this “and created with the most innovative technology provided by us”

They wouldn't be able to allow any decision making or else get flamed to death by certain groups

It would be cool if Santa Monica actually made a game around Christianity

[acoustic palm]

Honestly

That one’s looking real nice

[rancid juniper]

They did well with Norse mythology

[acoustic palm]

It has everything I want

[opaque sedge]

Guys what does red meat have that poultry meat or fish that dont

[acoustic palm]

Battery life, performance, OLED, tablet/laptop hybrid

[worn night]

[misty sparrow]

someone who worked on god of war confirmed that Jesus Christ was canonically a character in the GoW universe

[worn night]

[lone mango]

[opaque sedge]

Its a figure of speech

@rancid juniper coward

[nocturne flicker]

Have you ever though of not being unhappy

[opaque sedge]

[misty sparrow]

lmao

[rancid juniper]

Why are you insulting me? What did I do?

[opaque sedge]

That sounds impossible

[rancid juniper]

I feel like that might actually happen because he'll be somewhat conflicted if he tries to fight him

[nocturne flicker]

You don't need to tell me bro I've been diagnosed with dysthymia

Steam Machine

Highbox

[random osprey]

10 years now and black ops 3 still sets my mics gain to 100 whenever i load up the game

[misty sparrow]

10 years now and Black Ops 3 hasn’t gone below $19

[random osprey]

i think it was literally only once, lol

[misty sparrow]

okay nevermind lmao

When was the last time

[random osprey]

dont even know when it went down to $9.74

twice its gone down

both in 2017

theres more players on black ops 3 right now than highguards 24hr peak

[velvet summit]

Nineteen dollar fortnite card who wants it

[tacit geode]

That's new lol

Newegg package

[velvet summit]

I guess too many package theft

[pliant berry]

idk highguard just looks like another boring release

[random osprey]

didnt plan on playing it cause no friends but started checking performance with compooper and that was a big turnoff for me. fps game made by people that made titanfall and apex and performance was ass

they put that on the backburner

[pliant berry]

what happened to apex

[tacit geode]

Erm

[pliant berry]

I feel like that game just fell off a cliff

[tacit geode]

Aaa

[tranquil pebble]

Was it a live service game?

[pliant berry]

what modern game isn't live service anymore

[random osprey]

its still alive somehow despite all the bad decisions theyve made for the game

[tacit geode]

Other than that it looks fine

[velvet summit]

Damn that shi exploded

[rancid juniper]

[handled by FedEx]

[tacit geode]

Ups

[tranquil pebble]

live service is only a problem when there's no offline mode IMO

[rancid juniper]

Noooo it can't be

[tranquil pebble]

Getting people hooked on a game just to kill it is evil

[velvet summit]

Ubisoft:

[rancid juniper]

EA

Activision

[tranquil pebble]

I prefer to be able to play games I buy indefinitely

[rancid juniper]

Gotta start getting physical copies again

[tranquil pebble]

The Crew was basically a scam because it shut down not long after I bought it.

[tranquil pebble]

nah just find games with offline play like Forza Horizon

unfortunately I suspect FH6 will be the last good entry in the series because of how Xbox is doing

[rancid juniper]

Thought it'd require a Microsoft account

[tranquil pebble]

it does but you can keep playing it even after servers shut down

[rancid juniper]

That I know of

[tranquil pebble]

it has an offline mode

[rancid juniper]

COD BO7 is a great example of how to ruin your game

Online for single player campaign will forever remain baffling to me

[rancid juniper]

Live service is just another term for "MMO but much worse"

[tranquil pebble]

FH rides the line between live service and single player in a nice way

[opaque sedge]

Are there any good current mmo’s?

[tranquil pebble]

World of Warcraft ig

[opaque sedge]

Isnt that old af

And riddled with bots

[tranquil pebble]

yesn't

[rancid juniper]

Runescape still exists I think

[tranquil pebble]

its still developed actively

and RuneScape has a bigger bot problem than WoW AFAIK
