opaque sedge

rancid juniper
opaque sedge

#

Yes

#

Yes they are

tacit geode
opaque sedge
#

Should i enable secure boot pepehmmm

tacit geode
#

no

#

Hmm i’m in bios rn and it says secure boot mode is in custom

tacit geode
opaque sedge
#

And for os it says its other os

tacit geode
#

do you dual boot

opaque sedge
#

There’s an option for windows uefi

#

Nope

tacit geode
#

tbh

#

i say leave it alone

#

unless someone here knows of it will mess up your install

#

enabling it after

opaque sedge
#

Hmm i just windows 11 installed

queen briar
#

enabling secure boot doesnt mess up windows

tacit geode
#

after the fact?

#

ive never had it off

queen briar
#

yea. its a mobo feature.

tacit geode
#

yeah i know i didnt know if it would cause weird issues

queen briar
#

enabling it just tells windows how its booting.

tacit geode
#

hm

queen briar
#

enabling it or disabling is only requires a restart

rancid juniper
#

i keep secure boot on but virtualization off

queen briar
#

im trying to include tpm and secure features in my script

rancid juniper

I recommended watching a secure boot tutorial before attempting anything tbh

I also have to say after watching linus attempt the linux challenge again. I get what he means talking about cachyos being "flavour of the week" but man the cachy team does a great job optimizing for games. there are so many tiny config things that they have setup to just work out of the box

“offers 12 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit wide memory bus”

rancid juniper

better than RTX 5050 9gb

That’s a 3060

rancid juniper

I feel like this gpu will be prominently used in net cafes and wouldn't cost as much

Could be
It needs dx12 ultimate support

RT cores

rancid juniper

does it really?

sinful blade

Or a cheap ass price tag

#

Or 3060 just beats it outright

rancid juniper

If it can have like idk a 3050/b570 price tag then it'd be alright

Man
It needs like a $130-150 price tag

Elpida, which was one of the ones that were sued for cartel activity, is a subsidiary of Micron after it went bankrupt and was bought. Infineon is still independent and making ram but they are primarily for b2b or military.

Nanya is the same as Infineon but only b2b

opaque sedge

Elpida was actually a merger of Hitachi and NEC's dram business, they bought out Mitsubishi's dram division and Toshiba sold to Micron.

RR between AMD and Nvidia is very different when seeing that Crimson Desert Footage

It makes sense why someone would be pissed if they spent that much money and then found out

Amd cards were strongly priced this generation ngl

They basically ditched rdna 2, and 3 is just there

opaque sedge
#

I’m personally thoroughly impressed with the 9060xt

opaque sedge
# frigid stag They basically ditched rdna 2, and 3 is just there

Rdna 2 i think its fine if its lacking in features cuz at the time they were strong offerings in terms of price and performance while dlss was not much to talk abt, rdna 3 tho… yeah rdna 3 users got shafted hard i especially feel bad for anyone regretting buying the xtx at a grand cuz thats what the 4080supers were going for and ray traced and even path traced games were alr playable with that card

frigid stag
#

They called it “fine wine” after it took them like until 2022 to fix rdna 2 drivers

Xtx was decent if u got it like 800

I would get intel for my next cpu if they released a competitor for the ryzen 7 x3d tier

They just have to panic away from E cores

And then panic away from no E cores

#

And then panic back to no E cores

opaque sedge
nocturne flicker
#

And then maybe they'll stack cache

#

And then panic away from cache stacking

#

And then panic back to E cores

#

Then maybe start thinking about hyperthreading again

#

And then down a couple bottles of rum and shut down their fabs

frigid stag

Hyperthreading is useless for gaming

lone mango

Actually they have been

Yes I know

But to be fair though they were actually doing pretty well without it

I was making sarcastic remarks about Intel's ability to stick with features and attributes of their cpus

#

And their lack of it

lone mango
#

At the same time though, it is nice to see how they are always tinkering

#

They were the first ones to ship a cpu with separate data and power lines, gotta find the term again

#

Ah right

#

Backside power delivery

#

They were the first to do this. even though it was extremely limited, the fact that they produced such a design is cool

problem with self hosting or discord alternatives is most cost money to run a server/hub, and that's more than what most companies would be willing to spend

You don't need to self host on fluxer or stoat

It is quite easy to do, just use this python bot to clone everything

I gotta do it with my server

day trading is possibly one of the worst ways to try to make money when you are strapped for cash

not even 25k???

not nearly as fast as just working in fast food

thats not "adding up" no offense

if you gain 10 cents a week

only ups no downs

10 cents a week is somewhat generous

you'd definitely be in the single digits

exactly

You are required to have 25k in your account to pattern day trade more than 3-4 times every 5 business days
