how BAD youtube bitrate is,

They have to accommodate the 20-year-old laptop on a farm with a dial-up connection ....

[tp4tissue]

20 year old laptops should be able to decode 3-7MB/s video streams at 1080p. 

Dial-up DSL can pipe it, Dial-up 56k, no.

[tp4tissue]

So, true, so true.

I found out a couple of months ago that DDR5 RAM price was through the roof, but has NAND PCIe skyrocketed now, too?

[tp4tissue]

Yes, but most people don't need much nand.

Tp4 stocked up on the wd sn850x 4TB @ $221 a piece.

[tp4tissue]

Portal 2 graphx def holds up.

[tp4tissue]

Wow 4k 240hz is 6.8 GigaBYTE / second.

[tp4tissue]

Cleaned up 8bitdoo contro.

Feels gud, lubricated spring and loop. Krytox triggr. Made plastic washers to tighten tolerance out of packaging material.

OMGOMGOMG

AMD 9950x3d2

2x 8 Zen5 Core + 2x 3D vcache CCDs.

Now, 200 watt TDP.

A SINGLE 9700x for example can pump 175watt peak with PBO MAXed.

So, Really, if we wanted a MAXED out chip, we need 350 watt. 

Which they probably won't allow since 230watt is pretty much the max any one gets on the 9950x.

Limitation is probably due to dissipation limit of the size of the die.


BUT what they can actually do is Reduce the thickness of the IHS or sell it delided to enthusiasts in a max 350watt edition.

You'd probably need a 30mm 3x140 AIOwater to cool it, BUH why not, it's enthusiast.

U know, tried getting through Death stranding many times, just wasn't having fun.

[tp4tissue]

Really want to get the keychron m5 vertical gaming mouse.

It's got paw3950 sensor + realtek 8762g MCU,  should be around 150 hours

So, it's a fairly power efficient MCU, but not as gud' as if it had the latest nordic nrf54L, 750 hrs.

But 98grams. 

Coming from 60g mices, taping 6 quarters to it, it does feel quite heavy, for direction changes. There's really alot of momentum in +40g.
