JP you are worse than chemical weapon buyers

The man I've never heard of said so

So it must be true

[bitter ridge]

What are chemical weapon buyers like

[nocturne flicker]

Better than gamers apparently

Also how much of a documented chemical weapons trade is there that dude can say with certainty gamers are less tolerable

Does Adam Sessler buy chemical weapons

oh god

i stepped away from pc for a sec and this shows up

what happened now...

oh god

driver auto updated

the game i left running crashed

and now it's launching in the wrong resolution

bro

it auto updated back to the most broken driver version ever

even windows is lagging now

WHY

i'm about to go upgrade this 9070 xt to a gtx 1060

i literally disabled auto update

and it still decided to break my pc again for fun

[nocturne flicker]

Sounds like a skill issue tbh

[grand kernel]

true!

did nothing

pc breaks itself

must be skill issue

[nocturne flicker]

Yup

https://tenor.com/view/heck-yeah-gif-10962469515215893787

[grand kernel]

this is probably my last radeon card i'm so fed up

nvidia sucks too but it manages to suck less than this

i deleted my 26.3.1 installer because i thought i fixed the issue

now i have to do the whole DDU process again and redo all my settings and pray it doesn't happen again

if it happens again i will be selling this card

i don't care

[nocturne flicker]

I've never had an auto update after turning off auto updates. But then again I never have Adrenalin open ever unless it is specifically to update drivers or tweak settings

[grand kernel]

i didn't have it open when this happened

[nocturne flicker]

Dunno then

[grand kernel]

it literally just breaks itself for fun

i mean if they wrote a driver update this bad i don't trust them to obey auto update setting either

[grand kernel]

it turned itself back on and didn't even allow me to turn it off when it showed me that it updated without asking me

the slider just refused to work

also

how insane is it that they're willing to update your graphics driver while a game is open? wtf

they are obviously able to detect when a game is open

what if I was in the middle of a competitive multiplayer game

[worn night]

i can assure you this was horrible timing and he did not find this funny

[grand kernel]

I'm used to it

I'm pretty sure he was joking but in general radeon users never believe that there are ever any issues with radeon products and will act like you're personally attacking them if you ever mention any

[nocturne flicker]

I was joking

I am well aware of there being faults in Radeon products

[grand kernel]

"wOrKs FoR mE" like ok cool nobody asked 🤣

I will say I'm seeing way more complaints about 26.5.2 than usual

so something is definitely really broken about this driver

[nocturne flicker]

I don't honestly play enough games or a wide enough variety of games to have frequent issues

Maybe I should try Wasteland 3 again on 26.5.2 and see what happens. I will say that 26.5.2 did fix an issue I was having with a game from what I can tell

[grand kernel]

it happens in every game

[nocturne flicker]

Hmmm

Anybody mention anything similar on reddit or something?

[grand kernel]

yes

many people

[nocturne flicker]

I wonder what they borked over at Radeon this time

[grand kernel]

I know it's not an issue with my system because 26.3.1 works perfectly

and it's not an overclocking issue

I got 8 driver timeouts back to back to back at stock on 26.5.2

for the crime of... attempting to open adrenalin

[nocturne flicker]

8?!

[grand kernel]

yup

[unreal trail]

[grand kernel]

hey at least this time 26.5.2 didn't break my gpu's temp sensors and rgb control like it did last time

only wasted 20 minutes fixing everything instead of an hour

I love it when it says settings imported successfully but then actually just imports 0 of your settings so you have to redo them all

anyways i don't need anything newer than 26.3.1 so hopefully it just lets me stay on 26.3.1 for a while

i absolutely will get rid of this gpu if it auto updates to 26.5.2 again

on a side note wtf is going on with usage/power reporting for the 9800x3d igpu

surely it's not using 61w at idle

[worn night]

the classic bitcoin mining program

jk i have no clue

[grand kernel]

and surely it's not randomly spiking to 100% running wallpaper engine

the number here also completely disagrees with the number reported by hwinfo (whereas they agree for the dgpu)

it also drops as low as 0.000 W in hwinfo which is just not real lol

[worn night]

has anyone ever seen this brand before? it cant be TOO bad right

[grand kernel]

erm

good luck

some peopke are saying that the igpu power reporting is just the power for the entire cpu package

but it's higher than my cpu power reporting

also pretty sure my cpu doesn't drop to 0.000 W

[velvet summit]

i wonder if my random usb disconnects on my laptop are from my laptop dying or if it is an amd issue or the usb device's issue 🧐
maybe all of the above

[upper rain]

try reinstalling chipset drivers. am4 and am5 both have had bios and chipset issues with USB in the past

and chipset drivers are probably way easier to update than bios on a laptop platform

[velvet summit]

tbf it's neither am4 or 5 since it's a bga chip in a laptop lmao

time to see if it helps

[tranquil pebble]

this thing is absurd in every way it can be lol

1,750 horsepower roughly

[elfin mural]

it's probably fine, but don't expect good customer support

chinese ssds are okay for the most part as long as they're not absolute crap

[worn night]

[elfin mural]

some vids about some ediloca drives suggests that they're legit

speeds are not too far off the advertised figures

the prices are bleh tho

definitely not cheap

[worn night]

oh

[elfin mural]

still cheaper than other drives from more recognized brands tho

[upper rain]

tru tru, i meant the associated chipsets but that's a valid distinction to make

[fierce falcon]

Does anyone have any discounts codes? If not it’s fine

[bold glade]

Might be a dumb question, but I’m seeing conflicting answers. Can the lian li v100 atx fit a 240mm radiator for an aio? Manual only mentions 360mm and 280 but specs page says up to 360 and I can’t seem to find a build with anything but a 360mm aio. If anyone has input that could assure me I’d really appreciate it

[worn night]

yes it can fit a 240mm aio on either top or side

but its unconventional

itll look goofy and most likely disable the third fan slot

[ancient swift]

Lul Fallout 4 mod makes it so you can play Skyrim on the pipboy

[fierce falcon]

Hm?

[tranquil pebble]

[sinful blade]

Most discount counts will be auto applied at checkout.

[ancient swift]

Yes

[fierce falcon]

Oh damn is there will be another sale on Memorial Day?

[grand kernel]

a 240mm should fit anywhere a 360mm fits cause they're just double and triple 120mm

that's why they tend to only state the maximum support in spec sheets

[nocturne flicker]

It must run like absolute dog

[grand kernel]

similarly 280mm is double 140mm so a 140mm should fit too

[grand kernel]

[fierce falcon]

No worries thought I was being ignored but thank you though

[ancient swift]

Why. Both Skyrim and fallout 4 are fairly easy to run. They've been doing this with other games for a bit

[grand kernel]

there's also the #tech-deals channel here

[nocturne flicker]

Fallout 4's Next Gen update had performance issues. Combine that with running another game at the same time, even if it is Skyrim LE, I imagine it isn't that great on frame rate or frame rate stability

[grand kernel]

I have a charging cable that's on its way out and I've been thinking about replacing it for a while

I just woke up from a nap where I had a lovely dream about it melting my phone and filling my room with lung cancer smoke

this feels like a sign

[elfin mural]

i just found out that fh6 has a song of my fav artist in one of its radio stations

[nocturne flicker]

Though if Skyrim only launches and is only running when you are in the pip boy holotape it shouldn't be too bad. Problem is that Skyrim LE doesn't exact like cooperating with quitting sometimes, so I dunno how well it'd handle that

[elfin mural]

now i feel like i gotta get the game

[nocturne flicker]

And it is supposed to be compatible with Skyrim mods, which makes LE have funni issues with both loading and closing

The infamous infinite loading loop of death will be interesting in that format

Rdna 2 is fine unless you're playing modern AAA games tbh.

My brother still uses the Ayaneo Geek with a 6800u. Thing has a lot of problems, the chipset isn't one of them.

[elfin mural]

i switched to 2023 drivers

it seems like the recent drivers from amd have been bad

the igpu isn't used to play anything, i run that on the 4050

Hey everyone. I’m thinking of getting a PC I got a 1500

Anyone getting the new lego batman game ?

[elfin mural]

the min reqs look rough, so i'm not planning to

[unreal trail]

wym min req is just PS5

[elfin mural]

30 fps with frame gen is a wild min req lol

[bitter ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXWj6uEJS1A

Seems to be running at 60 on a ps5 pro but dk if it is 30fps frame gen to 60 or not

[pliant berry]

Console is kind of irrelevant, ofc it will run around 30-60 fps they optimize specifically for those consoles. Pc was specifically mentioned and this wouldn’t be the first time a game like this runs kind of horribly on pc

The fact that the reqs are that high and specifically mentioning “with dlss or framegen” is kind of alarming

[royal crow]

Guys

It's a Lego game

Are they using your computer to simulate the weather while you play or smth

[elfin mural]

60 fps with frame gen is also honestly not a good sign

frame gen is mentioned in all the specs they suggested

generating from a 30 fps base is gonna induce a ton of input lag and latency

go below 60 base fps and you have problems with frame gen

[pliant berry]

Yeah exactly. I don’t really care how good it looks a lego game should not be that demanding lol. In the context of a lego game even the older ones still look mostly fine for today

[worn night]

Fr

[royal crow]

I can get better graphics with Minecraft shaders

[worn night]

noWayWTF

[elfin mural]

and get way higher fps too

with no upscaling

no frame gen, no nothing

[bitter ridge]

This specific optimization for consoles hasn't been a thing for a while now

[velvet summit]

i mean

there definitely is optimization but the performance at the same quality on pc is usually pretty similar since it's both x86

[lunar bobcat]

[elfin mural]

with limited footage that we have access to of the new lego batman game, i'd rather wait until someone tests it on pc

[pliant berry]

As a ps5 owner it most certainly is still a thing

[bitter ridge]

As a ps5 pro owners it performs exactly the same as a 5060ti,9060xt 16gb I don't see this extra optimization anywhere

Only time I think it gave a better experience than on pc is in The crew motorfest where PS5 pro can use PSSR but PC is stuck with TAA/FXAA

[elfin mural]

apparently higher polling rate decreases debounce time in a mouse, so double clicks are more pronounced as the switch wears down

as more input is reported every second

[worn wave]

"stuck" with fxaa at least it won't look like Vaseline is smeared all over the screen

[worn night]

I like asus and asrock the most

guys do NOT go to pcpartpicker.ca

man pc prices are not great

[worn night]

Thats a great pc

It will run games very well at 1080p and decently at 1440p, ton of cpu performance

here is a cheaper option thats also great for 1080p https://www.newegg.ca/stormcraft-sirius-gaming-desktop-pc-intel-arc-b580-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ddr4-1tb-nvme-ssd-si1440fbb-b57n1/p/N82E16883420042?Item=N82E16883420042

[worn night]

budget after tax is under 2000 CAD if u wanna help

[bitter ridge]

[barren condor]

So I got this pc yesterday cause I just needed one quick https://www.staples.ca/products/3124248-en-ibuypower-gaming-pc-desktop-intel-core-i5-14400f-cpu-nvidia-rtx-5060ti-gpu-1-tb-ssd-16-gb-ram-windows-11-home

but you’re saying I should return it and get the newegg one?

[worn night]

I mean, if you already bought that one its also a very capable pc

Both are identical except the first one you sent has a better cpu for 100 dollars more

[barren condor]

Yeah but could easily return it and get this pc delivered here by Wednesday

[worn night]

If you would like that extra cpu performance and have some more funds then sure go ahead

yeah actually the 9700x is much faster than the 14400f

[bitter ridge]

It might be within ill chcek

[barren condor]

I just feel like the azza one is the best bang for the buck

[rancid juniper]

found the rare 8gb 7800xt /s

[bitter ridge]

People will ask more for rdna3 gpus now since fsr 4 is coming

[worn night]

It is, however

If you can fit this in, its much much better

but it is right at the budget limit BEFORE tax...

[elfin mural]

i'm not sure if newegg.com ships to canada lol

[worn night]

So I still recommend the azza one

[barren condor]

Not available in Canada apparently

[elfin mural]

different branches

[worn night]

Rip

[rancid juniper]

finally, rdna 3 has purpose

[barren condor]

So the azza one is a no brainer?

[worn night]

I suppose so

[royal crow]

@grand wasp probably xfx

[barren condor]

Anything else out there that is better for the price or this is pretty much the best I’m gonna get

[sinful blade]

Probably best you’ll get

[worn night]

I can keep looking

[barren condor]

That would be great thanks. And if there is nothing else then I’ll pull the trigger on it and it’ll be here on Wednesday/thursday

[sinful blade]

Sorry it took so long for me to see your Reddit comment

My notifs are not on

[barren condor]

Just gotta order it within 2 hrs to get the shipping for here by 20th/21st

[worn night]

Is this doable? https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16883320015?Item=N82E16883320015

Pretty much the only thing better i can find but for more money

[rancid juniper]

💰

[worn night]

If not, the definitely get the azza one

[barren condor]

Yeah it’s a bit out of the price point tbh

Ik 2 sticks of ddr5 is the move from what I’ve read but that’s outta the budget

[elfin mural]

https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16883320018

trade less ram for similarly performing gpu

it's the 16gb variant

[worn night]

worse cpu tho

[rancid juniper]

🤔

[worn night]

Wait what resolution are you gaming at

[elfin mural]

it wouldn't matter too much

7600 is still pretty decent

[bitter ridge]

All of these cpus way faster than the consoles

[barren condor]

1440 max probably 1080

[elfin mural]

i'm all for saving money if getting the lesser system can yield similar gaming perf

[worn night]

yeah I think a 5060ti is better even if 8gb

For maxing out fps on 1080

[barren condor]

Yeah the one I got has a single 16 unfortunately

[elfin mural]

nope, you'd be surprised how slow the 5060ti 8gb is lol

[worn night]

Nah we're talking about gpu vram not system ram

[worn night]

hmmm

[barren condor]

Oh sorry. Idk

[elfin mural]

fh6 already saturates 8gb of vram without rt

at 1080p too

[worn night]

well does he play that

[barren condor]

Yes

[elfin mural]

if you run in extreme ofc

[worn night]

No worries

[rancid juniper]

get a 16gb card

[elfin mural]

ultra? 8 gigs can be fine, but 16gb vram is definitely worth having

[worn night]

Alright then yeah get what foxy sent

[bitter ridge]

Basically not enough memory to make use of the horsepower it has

[barren condor]

I’d be playing fh6 for sure

[elfin mural]

and fh6 doesn't lose perf with 16gb of system ram

it needs vram more than system ram

note the fps difference between 8gb and 16gb 5060ti

it's massive for fh6

70 fps and 100+ is a big difference indeed

[barren condor]

Hmmm this is getting a bit overwhelming lol, just for reference in case anyone saw before. I bought this pc before looking on newegg or coming to you guys (can still return it) but now I’m just wondering whats gonna be best https://www.staples.ca/products/3124248-en-ibuypower-gaming-pc-desktop-intel-core-i5-14400f-cpu-nvidia-rtx-5060ti-gpu-1-tb-ssd-16-gb-ram-windows-11-home

[worn night]

this one https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16883320018

[elfin mural]

so getting back to the point to keep it simple, this here is the best rig you can get so far for your case

[rancid juniper]

The first 8gb GPU (r9 290x) came out nearly 12 years ago

And we still using it 😭

[worn night]

well its gotten faster at least

[rancid juniper]

Speed can only get you so far before it crumbles

[proud jackal]

[elfin mural]

samsung is too big too fall, but their employees striking for an equitable share of the profit the company has made during the dram boom is hitting them hard lol

[dusk knot]

Weird names back then

[elfin mural]

if samsung keeps losing money from employees going on strike, south korea's economy is cooked

[barren condor]

Even with the significantly worse processor?

[elfin mural]

yes

the worse processor is still pretty fast

faster than any consoles

there won't be any major issues with performance in games

[barren condor]

But if I choose a 8gb vram I will have issues?

[elfin mural]

you definitely will, with your target res

[worn night]

Just less performance in general

[elfin mural]

you'll have to work with the limited video memory

but will you still be able to play games? yes

the gripe with going for the 1999 cad machine is while everything else is better

the gpu is gonna hold it all back

whereas the cheaper rig might have lesser components and less ram overall, you gain back in actual gaming performance simply because the gpu isn't limiting you

[barren condor]

Not trying to argue just make sense of it all. I won’t have to worry about little stutters from having a weaker cpu?

Sucks there is no 4070 bundles rn

[elfin mural]

nope, it's fast enough to not have stutters

it's alright, i understand the questions that you are asking

if a game stutters, it's definitely not the cpu's fault

[rancid juniper]

Just trying to be cool ig

[dusk knot]

Hm

[barren condor]

Just a quick google search tells me this

Again not trying to argue and I hate that I feel like I am. I just wanna be sure of this purchase and it’s giving me a lot of anxiety

2. CPU Stutter / Bottlenecking (What that Stoneforged PC will do)
   • What happens: Your CPU is too weak to calculate the physics, traffic AI, player locations, and draw calls fast enough. The GPU is sitting there completely empty-handed, waiting for the CPU to tell it what to draw next.
   • What it looks like: Constant, jagged, unpredictable hitching and skipping (micro-stutters) even if your average FPS looks okay on paper. Your game will constantly feel "choppy" and laggy, especially in open-world games like GTA or fast racing games like Forza.
   • How you fix it: You can't. You cannot lower a graphics setting to fix a weak CPU. You are completely stuck with those stutters until you spend hundreds of dollars to buy a brand new processor and motherboard.

[elfin mural]

I have to ask, did you ask AI?

[barren condor]

I just googled and Gemini came up lol so naturally

[elfin mural]

AI doesn't have any concept of real world cpu performance, so its opinions have to be taken with a pinch of salt

The Ryzen 5 7600 is still a good performing cpu. It isn't the newest and greatest, but it will still give you a good experience regardless of what you throw at it

It being faster than any modern consoles is a guarantee that the cpu won't hold you back

[grand kernel]

yeah idk it sounds like it's quoting some reddit neckbeard that doesn't know a single thing about pcs

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/gkmLTvsMTow

have this vid for a quick and dirty example

[barren condor]

Ok lemme check it out

[elfin mural]

the gpu used in the video is a 4070ti super

you can see that it's not bottlenecking the gpu

[grand kernel]

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ0oX3Y2Ni4h6KHNe840uwKFdg6UZFbe_OMNvzvFmmggoj3h5pSc_6zMoE&s=10

if you trust google ai you're going to have a bad time

medium/low is better for testing cpu because it lowers gpu bottleneck

Why would they not want their games on pc? I'm definitely not buying a playstation so all they do is lose a sale when I would be willing to buy stuff like horizon or gow. They break even on console sales or even subsidize them don't they? I can't imagine the reason is to sell more playstations. The wait a year or two then release on pc strategy made sense to me. A lot of people buying pc games don't want to pay anywhere near full price, especially on single player story driven stuff and it rewards the playstation owners, like they get a really long early access period before the pc crowd can play.

[pseudo raven]

Real

This is actually a secret plot by the government to boost EV sales after they took the rebate away

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/up-huh-look-up-what-is-it-gif-15405060

The current administration is actively undermining EVs and renewable energy projects, this is actually just a continuation of hawkish policy dating back to the Reagan and Bush Senior era with a more imperialist over tone

This time around there is just no restraint and nobody in the admin actually cares about the the greater economy

[dusk knot]

[upper rain]

because they make below 10% extra sales on PC with each individual sale for less money than on console + the margin that Steam charges. they're making an extra 5% for all of the effort of supporting every GPU and CPU and RAM config in existence in perpetuity

some games make sense on all platforms (see: Helldivers 2). others not at all (see: Until Dawn)

[upper rain]

i just snagged my first EV and i was shocked how expensive it was to register

[nocturne flicker]

Unless you are going to tell me that the idiots who can't even hide their insider trading and betting are actually playing a mastermind 4d chess move by banning Chinese EVs, instituting damaging import tarrifs, removing EV subsidies, going out of their way to cancel energy generation projects for not being dirty enough at our own expense while also going all in on energy demanding datacenters and then spiking the price of gas by yoloing everything into a play in Iran in order to get people to use the EVs they publically state they hate

[upper rain]

the guy i bought it off of was kind enough to underrepresent sale price so i got shafted a little less on taxes, but the flat registration fee was appalling

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah. The calculation for the EV registration tax in a lot of states can be boiled down to "How much can we punish people while still retaining some logical reasoning"

[tranquil pebble]

nothing ever happens until it does

[heady plinth]

The registration and tabs are more expensive because you're not paying any gas tax, in most states that's the bulk of how roads get paid for.

[nocturne flicker]

Gas tax is a flat rate tax on gasoline. Meaning people who drive less pay less and people who drive more pay more, scaling what you pay to how much you use infrastructure. The EV registration tax in a lot of states is a flat tax in general. Meaning someone who drives 6 miles a day in a lighter EV pays as much as someone who drives a large EV pickup truck 80 miles a day.

I'm not saying that there should be no taxes for using an EV, I'm saying that the way a lot of states calculate these fees are generally done in a manner that is completely unfair to the majority of people it applies to

[olive plaza]

What did you get

[nocturne flicker]

An equitable system would have you report your mileage, put that into an equation with your car's weight and charge you an amount based on that

As then it would scale the fee based on usage as the gas tax is supposed to

[olive plaza]

Each could be granular as well

For example, granular tiers of vehicle weight

Cars under 3000lb, 3000-3499, 3500-3999, etc

And tiers of mileage use

[upper rain]

yah, fortunately i'll still save significantly more in gas and servicing (even pre-gas hike) that it's financially sensible

[upper rain]

2018 LEAF. i bought it on the cheap knowing it had a battery issue covered by warranty and immediately took it to the dealer and got a brand new battery for it for free lol

[olive plaza]

Plus or 40kwh

[upper rain]

'18 doesn't have a Plus trim

it's 40kwh

[olive plaza]

YOU'RE RIGHT

I forgot

[upper rain]

SV, so some niceties, but no propilot which i kinda wanted

very comfortable car tho

[olive plaza]

That's excellent though, the 40kwh are very resilient

62 have problems

I would super recommend limiting your charge to 80% when possible, especially since it's air cooled

I owned two Leafs lol

[upper rain]

seem to be hit or miss. a lot of NA 40kwh batteries seem to have issues. but judging by high-load temps i appear to have the slightly more stable 532 cells rather than the extra problematic suspected 811's

[olive plaza]

24kwh and then 30kwh. I was hoping the 30 would die so I could get a 40kwh in warranty but then a deer totaled it

[upper rain]

yah, i'm in FL so i keep it at 40-60% unless i need the extra range. seems to be the scholarly consensus for preserving high-heat NMC li-ion cells

[upper rain]

tragic

[olive plaza]

I've been extremely pleased with my Bolt

What pushed you towards Leaf instead

[upper rain]

very nearly went for a Bolt EV actually, but the only model years available in my area at a reasonable price were somewhat problematic. i figured for the rare instances that i need the extra 80 miles of range over my new 40kwh pack i can just borrow my fiancé's MY or rent a gas vehicle for a few days and still come out on top overall

[nocturne flicker]

I shall try to acquire Ioniq 5 Limited in a couple years

When I have mones to spare

[upper rain]

it was $6500 for my LEAF, $12,000 for a 2017 Bolt, and then like $29 grand for anything newer than that lol

[olive plaza]

6500 is fair

[upper rain]

the EV market near me is chopped bc we have tons of infrastructure

[upper rain]

maybe wait until they fix the ICU

[olive plaza]

But my area in Ohio we have a lot of inexpensive Bolts

Like that 12k you mentioned would get me a 2019-2020 with less than 30k on the clock

[opaque sedge]

Ioniq 5 looks cool

[upper rain]

unfortunately just after i purchased my LEAF a couple of 2022 and 2023 Bolts listed at around $14,000. in retrospect i probably would have gone that route just to have a warranty for longer and better tech (not to mention range). but for the price difference i'm still really happy with my purchase

[olive plaza]

I hate the 22-23 Bolt

Hate.

They changed the brake light design so the actual brake lights are the ones in the bumper, not the ones by the hatch that look like they are brake lights.

[upper rain]

nothing like that where i live. there are QCs on every block. about 1/4 of the cars i see on the road are Teslas, and another 1/8 probably are other EVs

they sell FAST when they're at even a remotely reasonable price

[olive plaza]

I despise that design and I will avoid it just as much as I currently avoid vehicles that don't have amber turn signals

Having turn signals that are just a part of the brake light itself is a safety flaw that's allowed by US law lol

Like, cars that just flash one of the brake lights

@upper rain did you get Leaf spy pro on your android yet

[upper rain]

yes, but on my iphone

[olive plaza]

I didn't know they made an iPhone one yet

That's good news

I was gonna offer, if you needed an OBDII dongle that's compatible

[upper rain]

SoH is at 99.3, Hx is at 102, max voltage difference is like 23mv flooring it uphill on a freeway entrance ramp

[olive plaza]

My old one wasn't compatible with Bolt but I still have it

[upper rain]

it's pretty hype

[olive plaza]

What's your parking situation

[upper rain]

i got one when i was investigating the LEAF. was part of the reason i was able to negotiate for $6500. unfortunately average okay-ish condition LEAF prices in my area are around 9-10k

[olive plaza]

Is there any shade

[upper rain]

unfortunately lot. which i know is not good for it, but i have to pay bills so it is what it is

that's why i keep the SoC low. minimizes degradation from standing at high temps

[nocturne flicker]

I'd be getting a used car and making sure it isn't one that has had a lot of service records. If after a couple years and 30-40k miles minimum it didn't die, I'd image there is a good chance it is not going to

[olive plaza]

If the car isn't white, get a white car cover

Definitely worth the money

And hassle of covering and uncovering

[nocturne flicker]

Tbh I only want it because the front seat seems big enough, the Limited has a sliding center console and there is enough space to take out noteable quantities of trash

I'm not really an aesthetics guy

[upper rain]

afaik it's literally a ticking time bomb, some just go sooner than others

i may be mistaken

[velvet summit]

hmmmm

[nocturne flicker]

Not really. The failure rate isn't well known but there is a speculative max of 10% with the more realistic range being 1-5% and it seems the failures happen sooner rather than later

[olive plaza]

I'm just impressed pib got a 6500 dollar car with an 8000 dollar battery in it

[nocturne flicker]

We are still in the nobody understands how EV batteries work so everyone thinks used ones are junk phase

[upper rain]

yeah, i have half a mind to flip it if not for getting scalped by taxes

[velvet summit]

on the flipside a lot of service records could be a good sign as long as it's not major issues

[upper rain]

and to buy what? i won't be able to find a decent EV in the price range of whatever i'd make off of flipping the LEAF

[nocturne flicker]

Well yeah, that is what I meant

[velvet summit]

but for the most part only chain shops or dealerships actually add the service history to the car, most independant shops don't

[nocturne flicker]

I'm not gonna be upset over a long service record if the service record is "Taken in for routine maintenance" x 30

[olive plaza]

[olive plaza]

[olive plaza]

If it's something you're interested in, DM me. I can refer you to the dealer and specific salesman i got mine from, they're known in my area for having very reasonable prices and they may be willing to work with you on shipping you a car

[nocturne flicker]

My mother was supposed to get the car detailed when I bought it off her because it was extremely dirty inside due to literally transporting dirt. It has never been detailed

[upper rain]

i will certainly consider it. i appreciate the offer

[olive plaza]

I have a bit of an emotional connection with my Bolt

Which sounds silly

[upper rain]

same with the LEAF honestly. it was my first car purchase, my previous vehicle was a 2012 Nissan Sentra that i drove absolutely into the grave lol. it was a combo Christmas and graduation present many years ago

[proud jackal]

[olive plaza]

Right when I totaled my Leaf hitting the deer is just a month before my dad started getting sick. I had a level 2 home charger installed, and it's 150 miles one way to my parents' house. I'd charge at home and go visit, then plug into their garage for the weekend and come home. I got to see my dad about 40-50 times on weekends that way until he passed last October, and each trip cost me like, 5 bucks in electricity as opposed to an entire tank of gas in a regular car each time

Like i was there for about every other weekend visiting

I bought the car with 16k miles in November of 23 and I'm pushing 48k now

I've driven it to Minnesota once and middle of Wisconsin another time

From Ohio

[upper rain]

was it a Plus or just a very well kept 40kwh?

[olive plaza]

Maybe you're misreading

I totaled the 30kwh Leaf, and then got the Bolt

[upper rain]

ahhh

i see

[olive plaza]

And right after that is when I started needing to visit

To be clear when I visited before that it was in my 2007 Corolla 😆

The 30kwh didn't have enough

[upper rain]

hell yeah lol

i've been very impressed by how well the LEAF has held up for freeway driving. i only lose maybe 0.3m/kwh at 70-85mph vs highway driving around town

for how toaster-ish shaped it is, really quite good imo

[olive plaza]

Well congrats on the EV you made a heck of a deal at 6500

Funny how our stories are not that dissimilar. My Bolt had a recall service done right before I got it, which installed battery monitoring software into the car's computer, and limited charging to 80% for the following 10,000km. Shortly after my 100% charge limit was available at around 22500 miles, I got an error on my dash. Turned the car in for service and got a new battery out of it

And now I've driven the new battery more miles than the old one got

[bold glade]

This makes sense, I appreciate it

Thanks

so they definitely don't need another one

[worthy meteor]

You don't gain anything from using OLED on your secondary panel, you only lose out to the OLED downsides

[velvet summit]

fr

their reasoning for a secondary monitor is so that the secondary monitor won't be slightly grey from lcd or whatever

[worthy meteor]

Contrast and motion clarity doesn't matter on secondary panel, your secondary panel needing refresh cycles and will burn in on static images is terrible

[elfin mural]

what in tarnation is this in roblox LMAO

[dusk knot]

roblox can be anything

old news

[elfin mural]

you could literally ask chatgpt to generate something for free (not that im promoting ppl to make ai slop)

[royal crow]

Why are you playing pedoblox in the big 26

[elfin mural]

i joined roblox since 2015

it's my childhood game

and i don't even chat much in there anyway

i just play whatever i like

[royal crow]

Fair

[opaque sedge]

I was abt to cry that it took me 5 tries later learned it took actual hours for people around the world

[opaque sedge]

I am skeptical that they’ll make a good controller this time

[nocturne flicker]

Aight on my way

[dusk knot]

Is this a next gen leak?

[deep parcel]

kinda looks like it

[dusk knot]

Seems they can’t go any further with the design

[random osprey]

gta 6 comes out, is out for 4 months and then next gen consoles come out

360/ps3 era all over again

[dusk knot]

That’s it…we reached peak Xbox controller design years ago

[dusk knot]

It’s going to be great !

[dusk knot]

As a Florida man, it’s going to be a fun watch on how much they captured the Florida experience

[deep parcel]

meanwhile xbox prices go down for subscriptions

[random osprey]

arent they also going to be releasing single player games on ps only and not pc again or did i see troll post

[dusk knot]

Not my problem

[misty sparrow]

they only did that because of big backlash

and mass refunds

[dusk knot]

As they should

[misty sparrow]

common consensus is that they will

[dusk knot]

Smh

[nocturne flicker]

Now that PC is the main competition since Xbox is treading water, they need to relock it down

[bitter ridge]

Did some benchmarking on my experiment pc

[opaque sedge]

man if ssd prices were reasonable rn i would have made a secondary build with my 4070super too

[dusk knot]

What are we doing tonight, boys

[bitter ridge]

Fh6 and Directive 8020 for me

[dusk knot]

Cool cool

[opaque sedge]

[bitter ridge]

Trying my best to finish these two games before 007 first light

[dusk knot]

Still cheaper then those PCs in the 1990s

Only IPS…Jesus

💀

[lethal jasper]

I just now noticed i got an EPS and not a pcie cable 🥀

Son

Tf do i do with this cable now

Is it possible to replace the plastic connectors or should i not bother

[lethal jasper]

Theyre both 8 pin and i only bought an extender. Surely I can remove the EPS plastic and put PCIE

[grand kernel]

uh

the connectors are incompatible for a very good reason

[worn night]

NO

[grand kernel]

to stop you from plugging in the cable that's also not pin-compatible

[grand kernel]

you will start a fire if you do this

[worn night]

CPU 8 PIN AND GPU 8 PIN ARE DIFFERENT PIN LAYOUTS

[grand kernel]

like literally guaranteed lol

[worn night]

Cpu is 4 positive and 4 negative, gpu is 3 positive 3 negative plus 2 more negative

[worn night]

Yeah I made this mistake once... long ago tho

[grand kernel]

you are shorting 12v directly to ground on 6 or 7 pins?

yeah good luck

on the bright side your property tax might get lower

bro is not responding

inb4 he's doing it

[worn night]

great heavens

we may have lost another soldier

[nocturne flicker]

We have lost another solder

Home Depot stole the spool

[lethal jasper]

Yea thats why you swap out the plastics

In all seriousness what do i do with this cable 🥀

Its an extender

Is teucer a trustable brand i dont want my cpu getting fried

[worn wave]

Teucer?

More like deucer

[lethal jasper]

[lethal jasper]

No it hasnt arrived yet

Im just wondering if you can replace the connector pins since isnt it basically just 8 wires without them

[grand kernel]

refer to the diagram I sent...

it's just 8 wires and a house fire is just a house fire

[lethal jasper]

Yea forget it

Wait are the metal pins themselves shaped differently or is it just the plastic

Damn

what do i do with the cable then

[bitter ridge]

1000hz at 1080p should be really popular

9850x3d hovers around 800fps in Valorant so we should be able to saturate this thing by zen 7

[elfin mural]

is this TN?

they are not disclosing the panel type

sus

videocardz mentions ips

not bad

[bitter ridge]

Competitive tournaments and people like shroud still haven't adopted OLED so a monitor geared towards those type of people

[tranquil pebble]

Almost have the final wristband in Forza Horizon 6

[proud jackal]

[bitter ridge]

I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get there for that board

[neat plover]

Is there any monitor that’s glossy but it isn’t an oled?

Couldn’t find one

Probably oled only offers glossy

[elfin mural]

apple xdr i guess

but that is very expensive

[velvet summit]

[velvet summit]

BenQ MA270S but is overkill honestly
It's IPS and 5k resolution

At 27" which means it has very high pixel density

Why do you want a glossy monitor for the secondary

You won't notice as much when it's on and displaying content

Plus it's the secondary monitor any you won't be using it for anything that a glossy monitor would have benefits for

[elfin mural]

if anything, having a matte monitor as a secondary would give you more benefits than the drawbacks it gives

[opaque sedge]

This week started off so hot man what the hell

I wasnt able to sleep at all last night

[elfin mural]

i kinda wanna learn soldering

cause my mouse is honestly fine

oh wait- the sensor, right

i forgot that's what's acting up too

i wonder if i should increase my budget and save up towards a mouse with optical switches

[opaque sedge]

What do u have in mind?

[elfin mural]

logitech g309

i don't care about weight tbh

got used to the g304's weight

[velvet summit]

It looks like the you are now allowed to use AI to make Linux kernel contributions BUT any contributions you make that have any issues with it will have the fault fully go to the human who used the AI legally
Similar to if they didn't use AI and put out bad code

[elfin mural]

might be looking at asus rog keris wireless too

hotswap sockets

[opaque sedge]

I kind of want another op1 to play around with ngl

[opaque sedge]

Sockets?

[elfin mural]

on the other end of the budget, which once i get money sooner or later, i will be able to afford

i have choices like mchose g3, vxe v3, vxe r1s

[elfin mural]

yeah, asus patented a hotswap mechanism for main switches

the left and right clicks

[opaque sedge]

Huh

Pretty sure the switches in the op1 are swappable too

[elfin mural]

there are chinese stuff with hotswap sockets too with different designs since asus has a patent on their design

so ye

but they also cost as much as big brands anyway

logitech's hero sensor is genuinely good

(i hate g hub tho, that software is a piece of shit)

switching dpi on the mouse using its button is slow for no reason with g hub running

once i exit ghub, dpi switching becomes instant lmao

[opaque sedge]

I kinda wish i could get the hall effect mouse

[velvet summit]

Huh

I don't have That much of a delay

Maybe a few milliseconds

[elfin mural]

i do, weirdly enough

it's a whole few seconds

[velvet summit]

Damn

[elfin mural]

the windows notification window has to show up and disappear first

then it would let me switch

[velvet summit]

Interesting

[opaque sedge]

Delayed onset dpi change

[velvet summit]

Well I've never tried calculating how long it took to switch but the switch was definitely less than multiple seconds lmao

It was switched before the windows notification disappeared for sure

[elfin mural]

i was fighting with it for a bit until i got to the right settings and saved it on my mouse's memory

after that i just uninstalled g hub

[velvet summit]

Lmao

My only issue with ghub is that some updates break it

And then I have to reinstall it

But I also need it to use my sim wheel

It hasn't broken recently though thankfully

[elfin mural]

a g309 here is like $60

[velvet summit]

But a few months ago I had to reinstall every 2-3 updates it had

[elfin mural]

it has lightforce switches iirc

the stuff i'm kinda after

maybe i should wait for the g305 x global version?

idek if my region is gonna get the chinese version

or the global (rumored to use optical switches) version

[opaque sedge]

Wtf 5080 for 1100 bucks? https://a.co/d/06gzmtF8

Lmao

[opaque sedge]

Its a pretty good dual fan design ngl

Its got two 120mm fans

Huge for gpus ngl

[elfin mural]

case fans strapped to the gpu pretty much

[opaque sedge]

Yup that shroud is def pushing a lot of air, doesn’t look like its a dual passthru like the founders cards tho

[elfin mural]

it's nice and thin as well

more mercy for the pcie slot lmao

2 slot design is definitely nice

[opaque sedge]

Unless its made fully out of metal…

Like the founder’s cards

[elfin mural]

oof

[opaque sedge]

I was honestly expecting my 5080 to be light seeing how easily leather jacket man was holding the 5090

Guess he’s stronger than i thought

[craggy shoal]

Already financing my water pump replacement 😭

[elfin mural]

he is the ceo of a multi trillion company, i would be surprised if he was weak as hell

(surpassed apple)

[opaque sedge]

He’s no jeff bezos tho

[elfin mural]

ye

[opaque sedge]

Bezos is def dosing

[elfin mural]

bald evil billionaire
