>>10773033010th gen is pretty good for OCing funits also the first gen where asus exposed the vf curve to tell your cpu's bin
>>107730409I don’t know much about overclocking I just put the vcore to 1.3v and set it to 5ghz and removed power limitsIt was crashing at 1.28
>>107730314We really gotta do something about these monitor names. Also this guy is the most inconsistent reviewer.I saw he did a video calling the M27P6 basically the best monitor ever, and now it's actually just a B grade?
>>107730420that should just work unless you put a heavy load onto it and find out that the voltage isn't enough. 10th gen just overclocks pretty well compared to 6th-9th and 11th gen, and doesnt have e-cores or ccx clusters to deal with so its pretty nice

AI has made many things worse and few better. The internet is collapsing under a tsunami of low quality slop and scams, search engines are dying, hardware prices are through the roof and we might, in the worst case, have reached the end of the age homecomputing. Why shouldn't I hate AI?

Currently testing azirevpn. They got port forwarding at least but are too retarded to figure out how ipv6 works. Good throughput within my means to test though. Other options are the horsefucker vpn cryptostorm. Propably the best implementation but they don't use diskless servers, which is cringe. AirVPN is another popular option reasonable option. But it feels very old school

>>107730103So is it more a case of being a narcissist and wanting everyone to look at how quirky and unique you are (or if it's a "thing" that multiple people do, how well you fit into that niche), or simply being annoying on purpose because you just enjoy pissing people off?
>>107730142The former mostly with a touch of the latter, yeah. Like those quirk chungus millennial personality types on plebbit.

>>107729172>No, it shouldn't.Yes it should you fucking retard.If the source is RGB 4:4:4 1920x1080, compressing it and playing at 4:2:0 will generate artifacts and lose detail, but under no circumstance is it ever a good idea to view it at a non-native size.
Sometimes, whenever I turn on the lights of my room, my monitor rapidly turns off and on again, or my mouse cursor just gets stuck and refuses to work. What is the probable cause and how do I fix it?
>>107730426Try doing the same thing by plugging your setup into sockets in another room in the house, and turning the lights on and off in that room. It'd be good to determine if that room's just fucked or if the whole house is fucked.I think best case scenario, an uninterruptable power supply would resolve this. Worst case scenario, untreated electrical problem.
>>107729258Well, I figured it out, it's because the audio input from the capture card to the PC is an input device like a microphone, and me having microphone access disabled across my PC meant that it disabled the audioHowever, now I have a new question, in that a mere 5 minute gameplay capture at 1080p 60fps using OBS's "high quality, medium filesize" is 2 gigabytes. I've recorded multi-hour long conferences in OBS before using those settings and those still end up only around that large.Any guesses for what I might have done settings wise that could be causing such a bloated size? I assume part of that is that gameplay just has a lot more motion and changes to the video image then a conference with powerpoint slides, but surely that can't account for all of it?
>>107730467I imagine using VBR and VFR would reduce the size, as well as using different codecs.

>>107730359It can be trickly to setup like, the the olden days of dailup. but once you got it its done. Most of that trouble should be solved within the next 5 years though as it becomes easier to run your own node, light clients with rpc fallbacks become norm and more become familiary with ownership and self soverignty as they snap out of big techs tightening leash

>A zoomer will now educate you on how the internet use to beWhy do zoomers pretend to be nostalgic for a time they never experienced?
>>107730052>>107730085>>107730113It's for the vibe, retard. A E S T H E T I C S. As I said, this phenomenon occurs at every age range, every turn of the decade, era etc. Millenials were also hunting for 70s cameras and gears, when the late 2000s/ealry 2010 shit DSLR etc were better.It's still happening now. People are still hunting for old gears, to get those specific look and "vibe". Not for insane details and clarity.I hated the way low-end consumer shit looked like in the 2000/2010s too. But hey I wish I still have my Olympus. The dude in that video is right, there's is a "quality" that's forgotten and non-existent today. That's exactly what nostalgia is. Phone camera today would completely destroy a typical household home camera from the past 2 decades. But there's something sterile to the stuff we have today. What made those shitty camera's so nostalgic is because it reminds you of home, then. Not everyone has a fucking DSLR or studio gears etc, and I don't think anyone would just let anyone at home play around with it. Heck who has movie studio recording recording equipment at home in the 80s? And a movie studio production grade monitor / screens etc to play those shit? No. Only a couple household in the block had shitty handycam in the late 80s. And it's a weird format too. Not like you could just pop it straight into the VHC/VCR. And everyone had generic CRT TV. Not the studio monitor kind. That's the vaporwave. The 80/90s aesthetic maymay. Shitty recording with shitty electronic gears played on shitty consoomer grade appliances.
>>107730263>XP on my pentium 3Tried it once and it was horrible, don't remember the original ram size but kept 98 SE on mine until I could get an athlon 64
>>107730382Because if they were your young brother who's 2yrs old and watches you play on a CRT and they'll say they have nostalgia for said CRT is a load of bullshit.
>>107730407i used xp on that p3 for two years before getting myself all-new hardware (and by all-new i mean the bare minimum cpu/mobo/ram/gpu because i was still a teenager)while dual-cores were the hot new thing, i couldn't quite justify/afford that yet, so i went with an Athlon 64 3500+
>>107730438why? If zoom-zoom can remember being 2 and hanging out with with his brother playing with CRTs, that nostalgia is completely valid. Obviously it's not the same as the brother actually playing the game/surfing the web/whatever, but in this hypothetical, the zoomer did have some experience that was important to him as a foundational memory.

How can you realistically get hacked from using an outdated OS if you're behind a firewall? All those meme vids of "computer hacked after 10 seconds of connecting XP to the internet" involve turning off he firewall, from what I heard. If the firewall is on what is the realistic attack vector where you get hacked because of an unpatched weakness in the OS? Outdated browser maybe, but that goes for any OS. Is browser security worse on an outdated OS?

>tfw you don't need to upgrade your PC in 2026
>>1077257724K is the trap.1080 is more than enough.For non-gaming or workstation, something from 20 years ago is more than enough.
>>107728978Great upside of still using a 20 year old dumb 32" 1080p LCD TV. It just werks and my RTX 4070 runs everything at max setting without breaking a sweat.Only downsides are shit picture quality and small size, but I'll take that over spreading my asscheeks for modern TV manufacturers.

Which one and why?
I think since they are all very close in performance the true metric is how generous the providers are with free tiers. GPT / Claude are disgustingly bad, they paywall the best models and even the mid models are limited to like 2 questions per day. Fuck themGemini is very generousGrok is fineDeepseek is fineThe new chinese ones are kinda okay
>>107728562I don't think so. Gemini 3 Flash is where things tipped into being genuinely worthwhile for me
For me it's chatGPT by a wide margin. I don't know why there's some comments here implying that it can't code. The only con I find is that it's pozzed, so if you want it to stop using its retarded "empathetic" language and give useful information on social issues you need special prompts. Once the pozzing is bypassed, it's incredibly powerful. I like that it lets you use legacy models too.
>>107726581i have a youtube channeli only use AI for inpanting and outpanting imagesi can do it manually on photoshop but the AI is fasteri don't pay thoi use the free optionsfor my use case the best is gemini pro (for the limited amount of tries you get every day)the next is chat gpt (also the limited amount of tries you get every day)and finally gemini normal
>>107726642I really like Claude’s “personality” and so far it has been the most useful to create documents with teaching assignments for my classes. For search it’s not super great I found, and of course it can’t generate or edit images. For that I find Gemini to be superior. If I only could pick one i’d pick Claude probably, mainly because I find Anthropic a more interesting group than google.
