knock 100 off that with the education discount

it's proven to be so popular that apple underestimated the demand

ordering from apple.com now has a backlog

[wise wigeon]

But then for $600 you could get the double storage and fingerprint reader

[elfin mural]

they used leftover lower binned iphone 16 pro chips

[wise wigeon]

A18pro iirc

[elfin mural]

and now they have reportedly ran out of stock

yes

just with one less gpu core

[wise wigeon]

Apple is eating good ngl

A18pro was roughly m1 level anyway iirc

[elfin mural]

now apple is either forced to upgrade the neo pretty soon, or make a rush order to make more a18 pro

[wise wigeon]

I mean what more does it use

Node*

[elfin mural]

it uses tsmc 3nm

n3e

[wise wigeon]

I think they are more willing to just pay for more production over cutting into allocation for phones

Because more people buy phones

[elfin mural]

the a18 pro is also out of production

unless apple restarts production for the neo alone

[wise wigeon]

I mean using pro line makes sense

[elfin mural]

which is a possibility, but if anything, they might upgrade to a19 pro when the iphone 18 pro series comes out this year

[wise wigeon]

Since they discontinue the pro line after the initial year

[elfin mural]

by then they'll use a20 pro in the pro iphones

[wise wigeon]

And they can save the poorly binned chips for a updated Neo

Honestly a good model that cuts down the waste

[elfin mural]

a19 pro is going to be a great upgrade

as it has 12gb of ram on package

[wise wigeon]

I mean it’ll probably be missing a core too but yeah more ram is good

I mean they don’t have to equip it was that ram right?

[elfin mural]

the ram is already packaged

[wise wigeon]

Soldered on?

Coolio

[elfin mural]

stacked on top of the soc

typical mobile soc designs tbh

[wise wigeon]

Yeah I was getting some missing on the air thought it had base a19 for a sec despite its 12 gb

Misinfo *

Though I think the air is missing a you core too

Gpu*

[elfin mural]

nah, the air just had the base M5

[wise wigeon]

No the iPhone

It has a a19 pro with one less core

[elfin mural]

mainline iphones? they use the a19 non pro

[wise wigeon]

This year they have base, air, and pro line

[elfin mural]

the 17e however uses the 17's a19 with one less gpu core

17e is the cheapest iphone

[wise wigeon]

Air is a thinner titanium frame fmvs the switch back to aluminum

[elfin mural]

oh ya

[wise wigeon]

But it also drops to 1 camera and 1 speaker

[elfin mural]

iphone air has the binned down a19 pro

that's likely the soc to be used in the updated macbook neo

[wise wigeon]

Yeah air is probably the next mini

Last I saw pro model is by far the main seller

[elfin mural]

i doubt apple is gonna make another mini

they never sold well

[wise wigeon]

I mean that in that air line will be killed off in a year or two

[elfin mural]

as much as the people who did buy em loved em

[wise wigeon]

Like the mini

[elfin mural]

ah, yeah, the air is likely on the chopping block

as it flopped in sales

[wise wigeon]

Iirc the mini was only on 12 and 13s

[elfin mural]

im already seeing big discounts on the air lol

priced closely to the 17

[wise wigeon]

Ngl

I would still choose the base

[elfin mural]

but the air doesn't offer anything more

if anything, it offers less

it just gives you a thin luxurious feeling phone

[wise wigeon]

It offers less unless you run like a barebones case or no case

[bitter ridge]

I would like to pay for Yt premium annually but I don't see the option for it anywhere

[elfin mural]

but even then it's not as thin as the older iphones

[wise wigeon]

Adding a decently protective case on the air kind of defeats the point

[wise wigeon]

How odd are you paying monthly now?

[bitter ridge]

Yes

[wise wigeon]

Ik it gave you the option when you started

Because I debated getting the full year since my CC had a 5% back on subs

Maybe it doesn’t show your options again til you cancel and have to renew?

Honestly if you have a family member with a uni email might be worth it if you didn’t burn through the 4 years of those

Think the student prices are like $9/month

I hope intel keeps cooking good competition

Especially in the laptop game because panther lake was good looking

first game to need a 5090 for ultra 4k60

no upscaling tho

but sheesh

[dusk knot]

Yyiikkeesss

[proud jackal]

Poop optimization?

[wise wigeon]

Think I passed by that video earlier

Usual ue5 slop

[bitter ridge]

https://wccftech.com/the-truth-about-pc-game-optimization/

Good article to read before passing judgement about a game optimization

[olive plaza]

I wish more games used the engine from Monster Hunter Wilds

[wise wigeon]

Re engine?

[olive plaza]

that game runs better on 9070XT than it does on 5080

give us more of that

[elfin mural]

i want more decima engine games

[wise wigeon]

Game favors amd

[elfin mural]

death stranding games run well

[wise wigeon]

But it favoring AMD doesn’t make it better than higher tier gpus

Re engine is good

[elfin mural]

cod games favor amd heavily

[olive plaza]

I'm not saying that

[wise wigeon]

In non open world games

[olive plaza]

I'm saying if more games were coded in a way where 9070XT was favored

[wise wigeon]

I think it’s excellent in re games and my rise

[olive plaza]

we could all benefit from a $700 GPU playing like NVIDIA's $1400 one

[wise wigeon]

That’s not happening

Market still heavily favors Nvidia

[olive plaza]

I'm fully aware

NVIDIA is propagandizing. Has been for years.

[wise wigeon]

9070 xt is the best price/perf in years and it barely nudged the scale

And mindfactory numbers aren’t changing that

[olive plaza]

Did you know NVIDIA pays a salesperson at each Micro Center location (in merch, game codes, etc - non monetary payment) to push NVIDIA GPUs

[wise wigeon]

That’s not exactly uncommon

Also AMD has that money

[bitter ridge]

Starfield initially favored amd to the point 7900xtx was matching 4090 you want me to believe that was optimized ?

[wise wigeon]

Same for COD

[olive plaza]

I'm not saying it's "optimized." I'm saying

I think you guys are COMPLETELY missing the point here

[wise wigeon]

Look I get what you want

I think it’s unlikely

It’s not just propaganda

[olive plaza]

I'm not even saying I WANT that LMAO

I'm saying "it would be nice"

[wise wigeon]

You literally said you wish

[olive plaza]

yes

it's a wish

it won't come true

[wise wigeon]

So you want that to happen as in you want more games to favor amd

[bitter ridge]

This was pretty controversial when it released

[wise wigeon]

Eh

[olive plaza]

Sure was

[wise wigeon]

Starfield wasn’t a big game in the end

At least not in staying power

[olive plaza]

A lot of people saw that chart though

[wise wigeon]

It’s nothing new though

Some games are sponsored and heavily favored one side

Though usually the raw power of the higher end Nvidia usually beat out the favor

So starfield was particularly noticeable

Though with Nvidia it’s not entirely propaganda

They also have better integrating in prebuilt and laptops

And AMD laptop game is just dreadful

Think the 6800m was competitive then they decided nah

Let’s just not work on that market

[olive plaza]

My ROG Strix laptop has an RX 6800M

[bitter ridge]

I think on laptops they are better off focusing more on apus instead of dgpus

[wise wigeon]

And after that the only laptop offerings was like the integrated ai chips

[elfin mural]

there was 7600s

but that's lower end than 6800m

[olive plaza]

Yeah I love that laptop man

[wise wigeon]

Oh right I do remember seeing like two laptops with that

[olive plaza]

6800M is so good for what it is

[wise wigeon]

Still the point stands

[olive plaza]

it's basically a power limited RX 6700 XT

[elfin mural]

that advantage edition strix had a ton of rma's due to liquid metal leaking

but as soon as you sort that out, it's fine

[wise wigeon]

I mean a laptop 3070ti was basically a desktop 3060 ti

[elfin mural]

still the case with 5070ti laptop

[olive plaza]

power limited*

[wise wigeon]

I mean past Ada the dgpu for Nvidia laptops are efficient

Most of the performance is that at 100w

[elfin mural]

not efficient enough to be limited by power limit

5070ti laptop needs full 140w to stretch its legs

anything less would leave perf on the table

[wise wigeon]

I honestly was a lil jealous with 40 series laptops

They were sipping power compared to Ada

[olive plaza]

I just wish they came with vram

[elfin mural]

ada is 40 series no?

[wise wigeon]

Oh right

Ampere

I meant ampere

Two A starting architectures consecutively screws with me

[olive plaza]

meanwhile nvidia gives you 8GB on a mobile 5070

[elfin mural]

i always wanted a 2060 or 3060 laptop. i guess i got what i wanted 3 years ago with 4050

there is a 12gb 5070 laptop version now

for more money ofc

[wise wigeon]

Bet that 4050 has cool as hell temps compared to the 2060/3060

[olive plaza]

It's such a shame, because the 5070 could benefit so much from DLSS, but DLSS takes a chunk of VRAM to operate

[wise wigeon]

Depends on the preset

[elfin mural]

my laptop has pretty beefy cooling

so everything is kept cool lol

but i hate hearing my fans so i just turn off cpu boost anyway

still hovers at 3ghz, which is enough for me

[wise wigeon]

If you want dlaa sure it sucks more vram but on balanced and lower it definitely cuts down a lot

Yeah I did the same for laptop cous

Cpus*

I just did the good ol’ 99% power plan to limit it

I remember I use to use throttle stop when I had a intel cup on a laptop

God I hate iOS autocorrect

It’s like it’s selective to make my sentences look the worst

Btw struck advantage was asus’ first major try at Liquid Metal right?

Strix*

[olive plaza]

no idea

[wise wigeon]

Ik after it Liquid Metal was a constant on them

[elfin mural]

no, the advantage wasn't the first

they always used lm since like around zen 3

[wise wigeon]

Like the 14” zeph line stuck to them after that

[elfin mural]

since the modern strix and zeph laptops came out

they have always used lm in some form or another

the strix used to use paste on cpu, and lm on gpu

[wise wigeon]

I swear one of the 3060 ones used paste still

Or maybe it was that hybrid application you’re talking about

Anyway Lenovo all the way

Ptm baby

I’m just too anxious a person to go for Liquid Metal

With a laptop I just want it to work

Honestly why I would rec a MacBook for most that don't wanna seriously game or have windows specific software

Air and especially the neo are just solid hard to beat packages in their price brackets

[tranquil pebble]

I always disable that on any phone

iOS or not

[craggy shoal]

[craggy shoal]

For a UE5 title, it's not terrible tbh

It's not like FG is entirely needed tbh

[nocturne flicker]

'Plunges'
Reality: It has lost about a week's worth of stock price increases (4%)

[wise wigeon]

Honestly I was hoping the reneg of the OpenAI deal would’ve had bigger impact on prices at this point

[bitter ridge]

I think it will be four years soon since nfs unbound launched

We used to get a need for speed every 2 years

[rancid juniper]

[nocturne flicker]

Product is still going to be bought. Nvidia just isn't subsidizing OpenAI to purchase it

[rancid juniper]

iirc NFS is still shelved because EA wants everyone to work on battlemid

smh

so we will not be seeing another NFS title maybe until 2028 or 2030

[nocturne flicker]

It'll just be bought by the datacenter companies OpenAI leases from instead

[heady plinth]

6000 30 should be hynix which would be better if you care about custom tuning. If you're just setting xmp it won't really matter.

[tranquil pebble]

I use the correct feature, but it does not do it on its own. I tap the word I meant.

because if anyone is going to make me say something dumb it will be me, not a computer

[upper wedge]

debating on getting it honestly, upgrading from my 13600k bomb

I was thinking of selling either or kit of ram

though my cousin only has one stick on 7600x3d, no clue if 1x16 6000cl36 would be faster than 2x16 6400cl32

just finding one stick of ram without an insane upcharge is impossible

[wise wigeon]

Cas latency is less of an issue for x3d iirc

But why downgrade the capacity

[bitter ridge]

Is less of an issue for any cpu period

[wise wigeon]

Eh, iirc some zen gens are very memory dependent

Wait am I reading that right?

Why would 6000 cl36 every be faster than 6400 cl32

[bitter ridge]

https://youtu.be/pgb8N23tsfA?si=bhdM3sc5qCKnB3Nq

I usually don't give a F about people who oc but this was a good vid

[wise wigeon]

I mean in current circumstances you take what you can get

[upper wedge]

nah it's just microcenter kits of ram

they got 1x16 for bundles under $550

anything over it's 2x16 with different specs depending on each bundle

[tranquil pebble]

we got 0 byte sticks of DDR5 before GTA6

[bitter ridge]

Could make for an interesting PS5 pro equivalent PC build

I also love that no led lighting is listed as a key feature

[upper wedge]

you need a 9060xt to be equivalent to a ps5 pro right

[bitter ridge]

9060xt 16gb,5060ti 16gb yes

[upper wedge]

oh thats lightwork

but for keeping it under $700 not really

[bitter ridge]

The bar for the PS5 pro is now $900

[upper wedge]

oh

I didn't know they raised it that high

jesus

It’s everything else they have been doing with windows for years

[wise wigeon]

Boldly blind statement

[velvet summit]

Majority of people who dislike windows does not care about the gaming performance

SteamOS and bazzite are also not super popular outside of being used for the specific usecase they're designed for, many other Linux distros do general use way better

Honestly if anything, this might move more people off windows

Hwmonitor 2008
Hwinfo 1995

(Hwinfo64 2011)

[velvet summit]

Average folks probably don't even have a GPU at all

Also the point of hwinfo is to check for overheating and stuff like smart data

I wouldn't say hwinfo is the most convenient for checking overall system specs

I also noticed that intel stock has been doing extremely well recently

especially considering sandisk doesn't have nearly as much reach as some competitors in the enterprise nand space?

[nocturne flicker]

Sandisk up until the past two quarters had little to no net income, had a mostly negative eps going back to 2023 and had a quarter with nearly $2 billion in loses due to being spun off in q3 2025

In other words, this is the first quarter they can technically claim they've had any positive net income since they got spun off and it is purely due to windfall profits

Incorrect

WD split them off last year

Late Feb.

[velvet summit]

this is a lie

there has been at least a dozen times people have sat or stood around a microwave with some beers

[waxen saddle]

Are these commands safe:
ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

netsh int ip reset

[velvet summit]

yes

[nocturne flicker]

A lot of the shareholders are still the same people as those invested in WD though and the CEO of Sandisk was the WD CEO before the split

[waxen saddle]

I am asking bc I used them to fix my Minecraft connections but it didn’t work

[velvet summit]

idk if netsh is still used nowadays since it's quite an old command, i believe for windows everything can be done through ipconfig

[round acorn]

is there a channel where i can ask about pc help (not pc parts, issues with pc)

[velvet summit]

any specific channel would work e.g. #windows-ios #building-and-recc-chat #cpus-mobo-and-memory etc.

the building chat is best if you don't know what the issue is

[velvet summit]

what is the issue with the minecraft connection

[round acorn]

well it’s a issue with a all of a sudden connection issue and it not opening apps instead of youtube or smth google related

[velvet summit]

those commands you listed would probably not fix what issue you're facing in minecraft

[velvet summit]

that sounds like 2 different issues, so you should probably troubleshoot the connection issue first

are you unable to load pages or something?

[round acorn]

well you know how if you have unstable connection it would have like a loading screen

but this is as if i don’t have wifi on at all

and it insta shows no connection to smth

but youtube loads up just fine instantly

won’t load steam or anything that need connection

[velvet summit]

hmm

[round acorn]

pretty weird

[velvet summit]

have you tried restarting your pc

[round acorn]

yea i’ve tried twice and flushed the dns already

does the same thing

nothing really changed, didn’t download anything recently

just kind of random

[velvet summit]

try opening a terminal (assuming you're on windows, cmd or powershell), and try pinging steampowered.com or google.com or whatever services you're having issues loading into

[round acorn]

alright let me try

it pings google but not steam

i also tried faceit and steeleseries

nothin

[velvet summit]

Hmm

Try manually changing your DNS server (nameserver) to 8.8.8.8

[velvet summit]

But yeah this sounds like a DNS issue either the nameserver is down or it's having issues
You might even not be getting any DNS replies, and loading Google only because it was cached

I went to eat dinner so my replies might be a little delayed

[round acorn]

it’s fine

i tried manually changing dns

restarting pc to see what happens

yea nothin change still issues

might need to get it checked out

[velvet summit]

hmm

yeah weird, idk then

[velvet summit]

maybe we could try figuring out the 2nd half instead now, what do you mean by your pc not opening apps instead of youtube/google?

[round acorn]

it opens the apps but the wifi is not being connected to it

it opens steam but no connection

[velvet summit]

ohhh

so yeah that would still be that dns issue

i assume all your other devices are working fine though

[round acorn]

yea everything else is good

[velvet summit]

this definitely makes it stranger though lmao

[dusk knot]

Mmmm... road trips

[round acorn]

i also noticed that ipconfig/release doesn’t work

[velvet summit]

one or more of your interfaces must be configured incorrectly

are you on wifi or wired through eth

[round acorn]

wired ethernet

my pc doesn’t have the wifi pc part

it’s ethernet only

[velvet summit]

i see

[round acorn]

also aren’t ips supposed to start with like 192. something

mine started with 169.

[velvet summit]

oh

wait that's kinda weird that you are able to connect to google then

that ip is uh.... a link-local address, which means your dhcp server isn't assigning an ip to your pc for some reason

[round acorn]

what would even cause something like that

[velvet summit]

i doubt this would be the case in your specific setup but having 2 dhcp servers (not configured properly on different vlans or as failover) on the same network could cause potential clashes and such, which could cause issues, but that's kinda rare unless you have a homelab

another cause could be that the dhcp pool is full

(but most home routers have a pool of about 100-200 ips)

[round acorn]

i indeed do not have a homelab

[round acorn]

as in like there would need to be a release of the old ones

[velvet summit]

usually the default setting would be a lease period of 3 days though

unless you had a bunch of guests over (and depending on the router logic), typically the dhcp server will give your devices the same ip every time you reconnect

I try not to trip on roads, it can cause death via being ran over

[velvet summit]

road trips? they don't have legs

[round acorn]

nah not recently

i could try restarting the router

idk if that would do anything though

[velvet summit]

it might fix it since the dhcp server is hosted on the router (for home routers)

if that doesn't fix it, then i'm honestly not sure

lmao

[pliant berry]

did you already check to see how the device is seen on the routers control panel?

[velvet summit]

we didn't but their pc had a link local address

and they were able to access google but nothing else somehow

which is one of the most confusing parts to me

[round acorn]

i did not

[pliant berry]

like a self assigned address?

[pliant berry]

I would check there as a start to see what the router is even seeing

[dusk knot]

[round acorn]

i got some info from my brother that the internet was on and off all day while i was at work

like as if it was on but not really on

might just be that but i’ll try checking control panel and restarting the router

[waxen saddle]

I am unable to join my aternos server today (I was able to join ever since it started the issue started today) but I can join hypixel which is a major Minecraft public server so it’s something with the connection of my aternos server and my pc

[velvet summit]

what is the error code? if any? just connection timeout?

[waxen saddle]

Connection time out getsockout something

[round acorn]

yea the router just had to be restarted that fixed it

[pliant berry]

you double checked that the address is typed in correctly and the server is running? aternos has auto shut offs

[round acorn]

thanks for your guys help though

[velvet summit]

aternos shuts off servers like 5 minutes of inactivity

[velvet summit]

that's good to hear
at least it wasn't some more complicated issue lmao

[round acorn]

it did sound a little crazy at first

never had something like that happen

[pliant berry]

especially with home routers or the cable combo units restarting is the typical fix

[rancid juniper]

[velvet summit]

one of my old dlink routers sucked so badly that it needed like a restart every 2 days or else it would have some weird network issue

[upper rain]

spectrum is awful about bundling horrific routers with their services. all of my family uses them and it drives me mad

[pliant berry]

Yeah I got so pissed at my isp provided router at one point that I just grabbed a old office pc, bought a 4 port network card, and installed pfsense on it as my router lol

[upper rain]

my father in law works from home in IT so he upgraded to some wicked hardware. i have 10Gb ethernet now

[upper rain]

understandable

[velvet summit]

kinda useless for home unless you have a nas though

[upper rain]

i'm building one

i was supposed to have like 3 months ago... but i got sidetracked

[pliant berry]

yeah I want to start upgrading some of my net to 2.5g and 10g but the switches are so expensive

[velvet summit]

apparently internet service is dirt cheap in japan though, somebody i talked to got 10gbit internet in japan for like what is equal to like 40 usd a month

[upper rain]

it's a recycled 'intel glory days' setup. running 144GB of optane as a caching layer to around 100TB of spinning rust storage, all in RAID with another 100TB array. i've just yet to actually... build the thing

on x99 because i found somebody selling some junk for like $30 on FBM lel

loads of PCIE

[pliant berry]

might want to do some testing on the setup before you put to use. once you start loading up drives at those capacities it's going to be pain to move around

[upper rain]

i plan to. i have a little haswell test bench so that i can test each drive and learn the software before i build the big rig

[velvet summit]

on a different note, my copium did not come true today 😔 the pantherlake thinkpad i wanted is still not released

[upper rain]

it should be wicked fast for what we're going to use it for. mostly moving around large project files for local video editing and hosting some game servers

[upper rain]

tragic

[velvet summit]

i've been hounding the lenovo site every day

[upper rain]

are you also looking into Strix Halo or are you sold on PTL? sometimes Halo goes on sale for pretty cheap

less efficient but better performance
