May 20, 2020 3:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I was all excited to see Migles but nope old thread...
May 20, 2020 3:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Obviously that thread just proves I know shit users when I see them
May 20, 2020 3:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo:
May 20, 2020 3:52 PM - TomRannd: What defines a shit user?
May 20, 2020 3:53 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 3:54 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Well necroing an old thread is usually considered bad form for one.
May 20, 2020 3:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Oh yeah, that one guy is a real shit user
May 20, 2020 3:55 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Posting in a spam thread is another... Although I still stand behind my one warning point!!! lol
May 20, 2020 3:56 PM - TomRannd: Hm. See this is why I'm scared of making threads lmao
May 20, 2020 3:56 PM - TomRannd: I know the rules, but I don't 100% know them
May 20, 2020 3:57 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Eh just hang out a while read a lot of threads and you can decipher them pretty easy or read the forum rules somewhere I am sure they have them posted.
May 20, 2020 3:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: No posting warez or links to warez hmmm no porn
no spam for products and ummm you have to insult Tom and kenenthk once in a while
lol
May 20, 2020 3:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Maybe Veho I am not sure, lol
May 20, 2020 3:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Flame and T-Hug for sure lol
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - TomRannd: Tom you suck
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - TomRannd: Like that?
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: See now listening to Psi, that's a sure sign of a shit user
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - TomRannd: Fuck my names Tom
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo:
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Oh and be sure to click my links
lol
May 20, 2020 4:00 PM - TomRannd: Man, I swear one of these days I'm going to catch a virus or something along those lines. Cause when I see a link I just have this gut feeling that I need to click on it...
May 20, 2020 4:01 PM - TomRannd: I mean, obviously I don't click on links that seem suspicious,
May 20, 2020 4:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: no www.thisisvirus.com ? lol
May 20, 2020 4:03 PM - TomRannd: Fuck I did it
May 20, 2020 4:03 PM - TomRannd: Now my little chromebook has a virus god dammit lmao
May 20, 2020 4:03 PM - Tom Bombadildo: https://downloadmoreram.com/
May 20, 2020 4:03 PM - TomRannd: -_-
May 20, 2020 4:03 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Totally not a virus
May 20, 2020 4:04 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Yeah I look at the url if it looks too suspect I will not click it but if it's like imgur or youtube lol no problem.
May 20, 2020 4:04 PM - TomRannd: LMFAO it says, "Need a T-shirt?"
May 20, 2020 4:05 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Tom I already have their best plan
May 20, 2020 4:05 PM - TomRannd: Hm, and it is also a joke. Thank the heavens
May 20, 2020 4:06 PM - TomRannd: Can you imagine if that's how it worked though?
May 20, 2020 4:06 PM - TomRannd: It'd be advertised like VPN's or something lol
May 20, 2020 4:06 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol waayyy back in the day there was software called "RAM Doubler"
May 20, 2020 4:07 PM - Psionic Roshambo: It used real time compression
May 20, 2020 4:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/20/05/19/2016212/amd-to-support-zen-3-and-ryzen-4000-cpus-on-b450-and-x470-motherboards
May 20, 2020 4:08 PM - TomRannd: Interesting. I mean, also I would assume back then majority of computer owners had no clue of what they were doing
May 20, 2020 4:27 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Oh yeah I think when RAM doubler was a thing, it was mostly used for word processing and office apps, stuff where if your machine was running half speed you wouldn't notice it
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - The Real Jdbye: lol Psi they changed their minds really quick when they realized it made them the bad guys
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - Psionic Roshambo: But you would notice it if your program said "You need more RAM"
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - The Real Jdbye: "Flashing back to an older BIOS version will not be supported." well why the hell not
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - Psionic Roshambo: The Real Jdbye yeah it felt that way to me
May 20, 2020 4:29 PM - The Real Jdbye: what kind of beta doesn't let you go back to non-beta
May 20, 2020 4:29 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I bought a X470 because the X570's where over heating and needed mobo fans...
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - The Real Jdbye: mine's not overheating
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - The Real Jdbye: and i can't even tell the fan is there
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - Psionic Roshambo: And because AMD said they would support 400s and 500s on DDR4 I would just lose out on PCIe 4 (not a huge loss for me)
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I was like well hell just get a 470 lol
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Psionic Roshambo: The Real Jdbye pray that fan never dies.
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Tom Bombadildo: 12:28 PM - The Real Jdbye: "Flashing back to an older BIOS version will not be supported." well why the hell not < Because the BIOS ROM is supposedly going to have to be completely restructured to support new Zen 3, so flashing back would result in a brick
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Supposedly lol
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I have had mobo's with fans on them in the past, almost never ended well lol
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They think motherboards with USB flashback may be able to go back, but not sure until release
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - TomRannd: Like, built in?
May 20, 2020 4:32 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I have CPU less BIOS flash so I can probably pull it off
lol
May 20, 2020 4:33 PM - Psionic Roshambo: But really the only reason I could think of wanting to go back is my new CPU dies and I want to toss my old 2700X in
May 20, 2020 4:33 PM - Psionic Roshambo: When I build my next machine will need a new mobo and DDR5 anyway so the old 4900X can stay in it's happy home
lol
May 20, 2020 4:36 PM - TomRannd: Fusion 360 has crashed so much in the past 30 minutes lmao
May 20, 2020 4:44 PM - Hambrew: ae
May 20, 2020 4:46 PM - The Real Jdbye: Tom: that makes no sense
May 20, 2020 4:46 PM - The Real Jdbye: if you can restructure it to upgrade, you can restructure it to downgrade
May 20, 2020 4:46 PM - The Real Jdbye: with the same caveat, that your existing CPU would stop working after the switch
May 20, 2020 4:55 PM - linksadventures: Hello GBATemp community
May 20, 2020 4:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: https://youtu.be/1N2NCpZ6Otk?t=698 < Just what AMD said. I suspect it's not as easy as you think it is
May 20, 2020 4:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But we won't really know until whenever Zen 3 releases and the BIOS updates release
May 20, 2020 5:00 PM - Psionic Roshambo: It's about code space and AGESA or what ever drivers for iGPU stuff and everything else... I say stub BIOS on the mobo and external USB thumb drive with specific chip stuff that can be copied over based on the chip installed... Basically flashing a BIOS would involve a USB thumb drive that would install the correct drivers per install....
May 20, 2020 5:01 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah but that's a shit user experience lol
May 20, 2020 5:01 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Like the BIOS on the mobo would just be enough to access files needed on the thumb drive all temporary like, it would only work with the chip installed. To install another chip reinsert the thumb drive and do the process again
May 20, 2020 5:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I would rather have to jump through some hoops 1 or 2 times for a couple of minutes than install a new mobo every time I want to change my CPU...
May 20, 2020 5:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Some side benefits of doing it this way would be you could devote the entire 16MB's to that one CPU and GUI
May 20, 2020 5:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: So all the microcode updates and patches could be larger if needed.
May 20, 2020 5:12 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Honestly I don't see why they don't do it like this already.... I already have to update my BIOS with USB thumb drive. lol
May 20, 2020 5:14 PM - Tom Bombadildo: The weirder thing to me is that "modern" CPUs from like 2017 can't address more than 16MBs for BIOS lol
May 20, 2020 5:15 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I get that BIOS don't need a ton of space and such
May 20, 2020 5:16 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And I know it's better for avoiding bad flashes and bricks
May 20, 2020 5:16 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But like, c'mon, at least go for like...64mb, 128mb or something lol
May 20, 2020 5:19 PM - Psionic Roshambo: True lol
May 20, 2020 5:19 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Maybe this will be a lesson going forward, they should segment a larger BIOS with a boot block and the actual BIOS
May 20, 2020 5:20 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Put like a 1GB chip in it for pennies I would imagine these days
May 20, 2020 5:20 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I think 16 GB MicoSD cards at like 10 bucks with packaging and profit margins and all that.
May 20, 2020 5:21 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Bought in bulk a 1GB chip should be almost nothing.
May 20, 2020 5:22 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-32gb-microsdhc/p/1B4-00M4-000E3?Description=microSD&cm_re=microSD-_-1B4-00M4-000E3-_-Product
May 20, 2020 5:23 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 5 bucks with an adapter and everything and it's 32GB lol
May 20, 2020 5:36 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Thing is, I don't think you'd need 1GB worth of BIOS
May 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Especially in a case like Intel where every release changes chipsets and such
May 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Even with AMD's AM4 support for 4 generations of CPUs, I don't think 1GB would be necessary
May 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: To support like, every single CPU that'd fit in the socket
May 20, 2020 5:38 PM - Tom Bombadildo: 128MB's, I could see being like the max for mass support plus enough extra space for any AGESA updates and such
May 20, 2020 5:39 PM - The Real Jdbye: there's security risks with storing the BIOS on a regular flash chip
May 20, 2020 5:40 PM - The Real Jdbye: not that they couldn't solve that
May 20, 2020 5:41 PM - The Real Jdbye: but the BIOS is not just a ROM it's basically what connects every part of the system together, maybe there's a reason they don't store the rom on a separate chip you know

May 20, 2020 8:54 PM - D34DL1N3R: I was wrong. Only one order cancelled. The other one along with animal crossing is still good and marked as "Getting it ready".
May 20, 2020 8:55 PM - D34DL1N3R: @the Readl Jdbye. Pass on a hackable one, I play online. Plus TX has upcoming options for the new models and lites if I choose to do so down the road.

May 20, 2020 9:40 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Welp, moved my gaming desktop upstairs in place of living room PC, so I can at least access all my shit on it remotely as before lol
May 20, 2020 9:40 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Still need to pull up the carpet in the basement to hopefully find a damn drain, but just haven't been able to
May 20, 2020 9:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: It stopped seeping last night, which is good I suppose, but I don't have a way to pull the water out at the moment. Need to rent a carpet extractor so I can pull water out but literally all the hardware stores around me are out of rentals
May 20, 2020 9:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Apparently I'm not the only one with the issue
May 20, 2020 9:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Hopefully will be able to get one tomorrow or the day after
May 20, 2020 9:43 PM - TomRannd: Having problems with rain or something?
May 20, 2020 9:43 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah, got water seeping up into my basement
May 20, 2020 9:44 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Specifically, in one room that was my office which had all my expensive electronics
May 20, 2020 9:44 PM - TomRannd: Damn. I've had that happen to me before. A really annoying thing to deal with.
May 20, 2020 9:45 PM - TomRannd: Have you found the source of the problem or is it still unknown?
May 20, 2020 9:45 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Still unknown, we know it's either seeping up through a drain that's "supposed" to be under the carpet we put down when we bought the house, or it's coming up from cracks in the foundation
May 20, 2020 9:45 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Just had tons of rain the last few days, and gonna be even more all next week which is gonna suck
May 20, 2020 9:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: We're hoping it's from a drain, cuz then my insurance will cover me up to $5k in damages
May 20, 2020 9:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But if it's from cracks in the foundation, I'm fucked lol
May 20, 2020 9:46 PM - TomRannd: Yeah, the foundation would be hard to repair without a doubt
May 20, 2020 9:47 PM - TomRannd: Do you ever have earthquakes near you?
May 20, 2020 9:47 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Nope, if it is damaged it's 100% going to be because my entire property is covered in goddamn trees
May 20, 2020 9:47 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And their roots are fucking my foundation
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I saved the majority of the expensive stuff though, which is nice. All my consoles and my PCs and such, but I have 2 desks that are probably gonna be tossed and a dresser down there that will likely have to be tossed. Probably have to tear the drywall walls down and replace those
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: My fancy gaming desktop is gonna be fine though cuz it has metal legs
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 5K worth of old laptops here comes Tom!!!
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - TomRannd: Ah shit I know the pain. My grandparents live on a farm and their "cowboy" room has had a tree root almost puncture the basement once. Thankfully the property location has no rain at all
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: "I lost like 5 macbooks!!!"
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I'm gonna get metal legs... lol
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: RIP shit laptops
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: All my good shit laptops are upstairs
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Except for my Windows 98 laptop, but that's put up IIRC so no water should get to it I think lol
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - TomRannd: I finished watching a video on the Pentium Toughbook. It seems like a good idea really,
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Yeah turn in the old mac books and say they are crazy newer models
May 20, 2020 9:50 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Tough books are kinda cool for the right use case.
May 20, 2020 9:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Oh I guess the box of my 2 12" car subs that are down there is probably gonna need to be replaced, too
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Not that I use them anymore lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I wonder if I put my amp up, too
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol baby ears too sensitive for that crap Tom
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - TomRannd: I have no clue of the wlectrical regulations near you, tom. But is your electrical panel clear of the water?
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Psionic Roshambo: You have to let them grow a bit bigger before you play Ace of Base lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: We pulled them out before we had the babby lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Oh yeah, it's not deep water lol
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - TomRannd: Oh, good
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: It's like maybe an inch, if that, in one specific room
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d73tiBBzvFM
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Though it overspilled slightly out, but still a ways away from anything important
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Tom just convert your basement into a swimming pool
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - TomRannd: Ah. Quite ironic for the fact it's in your "electricity prone" room lmao
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah lol
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: The worst of it is I can't pull power from the room cuz my modem and router are in it, and it's the only place it can be
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But since the water won't reach the outlets I'm not too concerned
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I unplugged everything else lol
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-iLd0W3cpI
May 20, 2020 9:54 PM - TomRannd: Oh shit. I wonder if you got like a plastic tub to shield it or have you worked something out?
May 20, 2020 9:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Nah it's all up off the floor
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And the outlets come in from the top of the room and are like a foot or two up from the ground, so no chance of like arcing or anything bad lol
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: All in all, a fairly flood proof room
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - TomRannd: Oh that's good. All of my basements outlets are no more than 10 inches from the floor.
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Except for all the precious electronics I carelessly toss on the floor
May 20, 2020 9:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: At that moment Tom fell into the chemical soaked water where his Internet router electrocuted him... downloading the entire contents of PornHub into his brain making him Porn Man!!!
May 20, 2020 9:56 PM - TomRannd: ~sex tapes and all~
May 20, 2020 9:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 10:00 PM - TomRannd: I think I might design a custom PCB for that NES cart emulation thing psi
May 20, 2020 10:21 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I am surprised one doesn't already exist somewhere
May 20, 2020 10:24 PM - TomRannd: Yeah, me too actually. I'm sure people have made one but it just hasn't been released to the public. I'm still iffy on it though. Because I'd also need to take in things like the ports, and resistor etc. When I can just use a solder board and some adapters.
May 20, 2020 10:25 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I just checked Amazon nothing
May 20, 2020 10:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: If it existed it would probably be on there... or aliexpress lol
May 20, 2020 10:26 PM - TomRannd: Oh trust me man I've searched far and wide. Although I am kinda glad for it. As I always enjoy doing shit MY way yknow?
May 20, 2020 10:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.etsy.com/market/pi_cart_nes
May 20, 2020 10:28 PM - TomRannd: Those labels are nice. And I recently got that 3D printer so I could make one of those super easy. Also, my adapters wont fit in that thing
May 20, 2020 10:28 PM - TomRannd: But that's what a flat head screw driver is for. Prying open the casings on cords!
May 20, 2020 10:33 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg8ZctiTRew 4 way SMT lol neat?
May 20, 2020 10:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Useless for most things lol
May 20, 2020 10:37 PM - TomRannd: That's... Interesting lmao
May 20, 2020 10:38 PM - Tom Bombadildo: "Oh boy, let's split up our powerful cores into 4 shit threads!"
May 20, 2020 10:39 PM - TomRannd: Reminds me of Reddit
May 20, 2020 10:39 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Probably be good for like servers and stuff that need lots and lots of threads and not so much lots and lots of high performance lol
May 20, 2020 10:40 PM - TomRannd: I think AMD is trying to go for the "we do everything" title.
May 20, 2020 10:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They're already there TBH. The only thing they still can't beat Intel out on is pure gaming performance, but otherwise they basically have everything else
May 20, 2020 10:44 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But the gap between gaming performance is relatively small, at least compared to price anyways, so it's like why bother?
May 20, 2020 10:44 PM - TomRannd: Beats me, Maybe they have secret tech and uh... Yeah idk man
May 20, 2020 10:45 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I wouldn't be surprised if AMD could beat Intel right now in single threaded IF they went "OK just run 54,000 watts through the CPU!!!" lol
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Right now it's basically brand trust and "Intel is best for gaming!" that's keeping Intel on the map
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And I guess people who don't know/care lol
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I suspect Ryzen 4000 might change some of that lol
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: and the fanboys
May 20, 2020 10:47 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Possibly, yeah
May 20, 2020 10:47 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I just hope Intel comes out with something 7nm eventually lol
May 20, 2020 10:47 PM - TomRannd: In the long run, though. Both run games very well.
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - TomRannd: I think the biggest thing about AMD is the price, too. Compared to Intel.
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Tiger Lake with 10nm should show up like...2021
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - Psionic Roshambo: If Ryzen 4000 is as good as the rumors say.... You think Intel will jack Skylake up to more cores and like 5.6Ghz? lol
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Which will support DDR5 and PCie 4 and such
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - TomRannd: Maybe?
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 450 watts draw is fine... ignore flames coming from CPU....
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: "It's melting the heatsink...."
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Well, Alder Lake is supposed to be the desktop one anyways, Tiger Lake is mobile but yeah
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - TomRannd: Just put a good cooling system and it'll be fine. phshaw
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I'm surprised by the 10th series reviews for thermals actually
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They draw so much power, but apparently both the 10900k and the 10600k have like...really really good thermals
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Probably throttles way down when it gets hot.
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Despite the 10900k eating like 200w at load lol
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: No, no throttling
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - TomRannd: really?
May 20, 2020 10:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: With 4.8ghz all cores unlocked, it'll only hit like high 80'sC
May 20, 2020 10:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: For the 10900k
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: It just sucks back power like nobody's business lol
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - Psionic Roshambo: So what cooler will these come with? Lol
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - TomRannd: Yeah wtf
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: A shit one, but nobody uses stock Intel cooler lol
May 20, 2020 10:53 PM - TomRannd: You'd think they'd have something
May 20, 2020 10:53 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Pelteir cooler lol
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They were able to shrink the CPU die, and then thicken up the IHS to absorb more heat
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: So despite clocking at nearly 5ghz all the time, it remains mostly cool
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I think to allow more pressure to be applied to the heat sink.
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Which I didn't think would be so dramatic an improvement, but apparently it was lol
May 20, 2020 10:55 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Something compressing molecules together or something lol
May 20, 2020 10:55 PM - TomRannd: I really want one of those mineral water PC builds.
May 20, 2020 10:55 PM - TomRannd: No reason other than it's cool
May 20, 2020 10:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: If you can solve oil creep they look cool
May 20, 2020 10:56 PM - TomRannd: Yeah, and I guess they would be pretty bad for things like replacements/upgrades though
May 20, 2020 10:57 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Neat idea, but awful in practice lol
May 20, 2020 10:57 PM - TomRannd: unless you build in a drain system. But that's be pointless
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - TomRannd: Also, they should make fish smarter so they can not run into my motherboard. oh and maybe actually live in mineral water
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Design PC to be LN2 submerged will be fine
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - TomRannd: and not shit all over my power supply.... yknow what
May 20, 2020 10:59 PM - TomRannd: i guess i could get one of those silly fish robots they have at toys r us
May 20, 2020 10:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Would need to put the components in like a metal vacuum enclosure before dropping it in the LN2
May 20, 2020 10:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And then design components than can actually function at super low temps
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Cuz modern motherboards already have issues booting up if there's too much cooling from LN2
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Super conducting nano particle spintronics with quantum dots and I ran out of rechno buzzwords lol
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - TomRannd: yeah. it's one thing to keep your pc cool. but you dont want it a fucking deep freeze lmao
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - TomRannd: Psi you okay?
May 20, 2020 11:01 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol no I got called into work tonight stupid officers dying of corona or something lol
May 20, 2020 11:01 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Weak ass mortals lol
May 20, 2020 11:01 PM - TomRannd: damn what a loser
May 20, 2020 11:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: They need to promote me to captain already lol
May 20, 2020 11:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Promote my captain to the desk in the main office leave the trenches to me lol
May 20, 2020 11:03 PM - TomRannd: What do you work as?
May 20, 2020 11:06 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Armed security at a hospital here in Florida
May 20, 2020 11:07 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Me and my Glock 17 have to fight off meth addicts and crazy poeple lol
May 20, 2020 11:07 PM - TomRannd: Interesting. I er... I uh work from home and uh do things like repairs on things i own...?
May 20, 2020 11:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: It sounds much more peaceful to me
May 20, 2020 11:08 PM - TomRannd: But actually, I'm learning to become an electrician
May 20, 2020 11:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: See that sounds electrifying lol
May 20, 2020 11:09 PM - TomRannd: Well, I mean one wrong move and your dead. But that's why we wear safety glasses! Oh and turn off the power that works too
May 20, 2020 11:16 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Did shoutbox explode? Lol
May 20, 2020 11:17 PM - TomRannd: Hm?
May 20, 2020 11:18 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/amd-ryzen-4000-vermeer-16-core-spotted-with-46-ghz-boost-clock
May 20, 2020 11:18 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 16 core 32 threads lol
May 20, 2020 11:20 PM - TomRannd: Lower boost clock though. But it doesn't really make a difference lmao
May 20, 2020 11:25 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I think the IPC gains are rumored to be like 20%
May 20, 2020 11:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: So 4Ghz would be like = 4.8Ghz or something
May 20, 2020 11:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/gskills-fast-ddr4-5000-ram-will-probably-cost-more-than-your-gpu/
May 20, 2020 11:27 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Some of that to go with it lol
May 20, 2020 11:28 PM - TomRannd: Holy. That is quite out of my budget.
May 20, 2020 11:28 PM - TomRannd: Although, having that would made things like emulators a dream
May 20, 2020 11:29 PM - TomRannd: Bluestacks? Yeah funny
May 20, 2020 11:29 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Not really, RAM speed doesn't have much of an impact on emulation
May 20, 2020 11:30 PM - TomRannd: I thought things like CEMU really depend on that shit though? Have I got something mixed up or-
May 20, 2020 11:32 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Cemu I'm not sure, but everything else it's basically a negligible difference
May 20, 2020 11:33 PM - TomRannd: Hmm. Well in that case I'd assume CEMU wouldn't be any different
May 20, 2020 11:34 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Apparently it did boost speed in earlier versions of Cemu, but since they added dual core recompiler it's same as everything else
May 20, 2020 11:34 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Just make sure to have lots of it and fast as possible
lol
May 20, 2020 11:34 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol or just download more
May 20, 2020 11:35 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Gotta download all the RAM
May 20, 2020 11:35 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 20, 2020 11:36 PM - TomRannd: Soon, we'll have ways to download more wattage for your power supply!
May 20, 2020 11:37 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Intel let's you pay and download a code to unlock more PCIe lanes on some of its servers lol
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Although that's just scummy lol
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - TomRannd: ew seriously? That's just as bad as adding more cameras.
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol wut?
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Or on disk DLC lol
May 20, 2020 11:39 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Pretty sure that's not a thing Psi lol
May 20, 2020 11:39 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.zdnet.com/article/facepalm-of-the-day-intel-charges-customers-50-to-unlock-cpu-features/
May 20, 2020 11:39 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol but it is
May 20, 2020 11:40 PM - Tom Bombadildo: So not a server, shit OEM CPUs, and in 2010 lol
May 20, 2020 11:41 PM - TomRannd: I love the "Facepalm of the day"
May 20, 2020 11:41 PM - Psionic Roshambo: They did it on servers later with PCIe lanes lol
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Not as far as I can find Psi lol
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: That Intel upgrade bs literally only applied to 4 CPUs
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Upgrade_Service <
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And it was just like...more cache and speed bump lol
May 20, 2020 11:43 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Still a shit tactic to prey on idiots
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: Todaly worth it dude
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: lmao
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But hey, 2010 was that special time when AMD had shit for CPUs and Intel was king
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: I was 8 at the time!
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: woo!
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: i think
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: yeah
May 20, 2020 11:45 PM - TomRannd: okay yeah I double checked sorry had a brain fart
May 20, 2020 11:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I cant find it but Linus Tech Tips did a video on it
May 20, 2020 11:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Wà server oriented stuff not consumer and not based on the CPU but instead PCIe lanes
May 20, 2020 11:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I think you're just crazy ;O;
May 20, 2020 11:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Having anti-Intel fever dreams ;O;
May 20, 2020 11:54 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 20, 2020 11:55 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Nahhh when Intel is doing good (90% of the time) I love Intel lll
May 20, 2020 11:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Hell I even liked the Pentium IV lol
May 21, 2020 12:00 AM - Psionic Roshambo: It's just hilarious that hey seem to have slipped on a banana peel got hit with a blue shell and landed face first in poop.
May 21, 2020 12:01 AM - Psionic Roshambo: I'm sure it won't last but for the time being it's hilarious
May 21, 2020 12:01 AM - TomRannd: It's sad how fucking accurate that was
May 21, 2020 12:02 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Amazing what happens what a competitor stops fucking up for like a decade straight lol
May 21, 2020 12:02 AM - Tom Bombadildo: i can't remember the last really good AMD CPU before Ryzen lol
May 21, 2020 12:03 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Like, maybe Athlon 64 X2 in 2007?
May 21, 2020 12:03 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Around there anyways
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Then Bulldozer came out
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And it was like...wtf?
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And then they were utterly useless until Ryzen basically
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Mainly bought by people with no money lol
May 21, 2020 12:06 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Exactly I used to make sooo much fun of AMD lol
May 21, 2020 12:08 AM - Psionic Roshambo: If anyone said they wanted a dirt cheap PC I would recommend they save up a bit more for an Intel machine lol
May 21, 2020 12:09 AM - Psionic Roshambo: It does make me excited for what Intel will make when they get back in the game.
May 21, 2020 12:09 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Maybe skip all the nm stuff and quantum computer chips or something
May 21, 2020 12:12 AM - Tom Bombadildo: I think the one AMD CPU from the shit years I kinda liked was an APU I had in a laptop that had like...a half-decent GPU in it lol
May 21, 2020 12:12 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And that was kinda it
May 21, 2020 12:13 AM - Tom Bombadildo: It could play like...Skrim at 60fps with medium-ish settings at like 720p, which was miles and miles better than Intel's HD4000 trash lol
May 21, 2020 12:13 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And it was in like a $300 laptop or something
May 21, 2020 12:14 AM - Tom Bombadildo: I remember being able to play like Black Ops and Black Ops 2 on it lol
May 21, 2020 12:14 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Can't for the life of me remember which one
May 21, 2020 12:15 AM - Tom Bombadildo: But it was one of the "top of the line" APUs in that series IIRC, an A10 something something lol
May 21, 2020 12:16 AM - Tom Bombadildo: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A10-4600M-Notebook-Processor.74065.0.html < This one I think
May 21, 2020 12:17 AM - Tom Bombadildo: 4 cores! 35W! Performance similar to an i3 2310m! lol
May 21, 2020 12:18 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 21, 2020 12:19 AM - Tom Bombadildo: https://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-satellite-s855d-s5120-15-6-a10-4600m-8-gb-ram-750-gb-hdd-qwerty-us/ < Aha, that was the one
May 21, 2020 12:19 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Yeah I think the APUs where decent GPU wise
May 21, 2020 12:23 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Good laptop, have fond memories of it lol
May 21, 2020 12:23 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Then I gave it to my little bro when I bought a Surface Pro 2 and he fucking destroyed the thing
May 21, 2020 12:23 AM - Tom Bombadildo:
May 21, 2020 12:24 AM - Tom Bombadildo: I think I still have the carcass in a box somewhere
May 21, 2020 12:27 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 21, 2020 1:01 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Laptop not trampoline? Lol
May 21, 2020 1:06 AM - TomRannd: huh
May 21, 2020 1:06 AM - TomRannd: I gave my trampoline to my neighbors kids

May 21, 2020 1:15 AM - Sonic Angel Knight: Tom, don't break your gameboy, that's not nice.
May 21, 2020 1:41 AM - SG854: I had one of those trampoline on a shoe. Moon something shoe.... it was a goofy thing.
May 21, 2020 1:47 AM - SG854: https://youtu.be/a8xroRlbXCg
May 21, 2020 1:51 AM - TomRannd: How'd they work? You bounce along the sidewalk going to school lmao?
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: You don't actually wear em to school. Just at home for play.
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: I found this video looking up moon shoes and I trade me laugh
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: https://youtu.be/V36LpPkwJ7I

May 20, 2020 3:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I was all excited to see Migles but nope old thread...
May 20, 2020 3:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Obviously that thread just proves I know shit users when I see them
May 20, 2020 3:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo:

May 20, 2020 3:52 PM - TomRannd: What defines a shit user?
May 20, 2020 3:53 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 3:54 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Well necroing an old thread is usually considered bad form for one.
May 20, 2020 3:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Oh yeah, that one guy is a real shit user

May 20, 2020 3:55 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Posting in a spam thread is another... Although I still stand behind my one warning point!!! lol
May 20, 2020 3:56 PM - TomRannd: Hm. See this is why I'm scared of making threads lmao
May 20, 2020 3:56 PM - TomRannd: I know the rules, but I don't 100% know them
May 20, 2020 3:57 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Eh just hang out a while read a lot of threads and you can decipher them pretty easy or read the forum rules somewhere I am sure they have them posted.
May 20, 2020 3:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: No posting warez or links to warez hmmm no porn
May 20, 2020 3:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Maybe Veho I am not sure, lol
May 20, 2020 3:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Flame and T-Hug for sure lol
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - TomRannd: Tom you suck
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - TomRannd: Like that?
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: See now listening to Psi, that's a sure sign of a shit user
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 3:59 PM - TomRannd: Fuck my names Tom

May 20, 2020 4:00 PM - TomRannd: Man, I swear one of these days I'm going to catch a virus or something along those lines. Cause when I see a link I just have this gut feeling that I need to click on it...
May 20, 2020 4:01 PM - TomRannd: I mean, obviously I don't click on links that seem suspicious,
May 20, 2020 4:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: no www.thisisvirus.com ? lol
May 20, 2020 4:03 PM - TomRannd: Fuck I did it

May 20, 2020 4:04 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Yeah I look at the url if it looks too suspect I will not click it but if it's like imgur or youtube lol no problem.
May 20, 2020 4:04 PM - TomRannd: LMFAO it says, "Need a T-shirt?"
May 20, 2020 4:05 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Tom I already have their best plan
May 20, 2020 4:05 PM - TomRannd: Hm, and it is also a joke. Thank the heavens
May 20, 2020 4:06 PM - TomRannd: Can you imagine if that's how it worked though?
May 20, 2020 4:06 PM - TomRannd: It'd be advertised like VPN's or something lol
May 20, 2020 4:06 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol waayyy back in the day there was software called "RAM Doubler"
May 20, 2020 4:07 PM - Psionic Roshambo: It used real time compression
May 20, 2020 4:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/20/05/19/2016212/amd-to-support-zen-3-and-ryzen-4000-cpus-on-b450-and-x470-motherboards
May 20, 2020 4:08 PM - TomRannd: Interesting. I mean, also I would assume back then majority of computer owners had no clue of what they were doing
May 20, 2020 4:27 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Oh yeah I think when RAM doubler was a thing, it was mostly used for word processing and office apps, stuff where if your machine was running half speed you wouldn't notice it
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - The Real Jdbye: lol Psi they changed their minds really quick when they realized it made them the bad guys
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - Psionic Roshambo: But you would notice it if your program said "You need more RAM"
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - The Real Jdbye: "Flashing back to an older BIOS version will not be supported." well why the hell not
May 20, 2020 4:28 PM - Psionic Roshambo: The Real Jdbye yeah it felt that way to me
May 20, 2020 4:29 PM - The Real Jdbye: what kind of beta doesn't let you go back to non-beta
May 20, 2020 4:29 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I bought a X470 because the X570's where over heating and needed mobo fans...
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - The Real Jdbye: mine's not overheating
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - The Real Jdbye: and i can't even tell the fan is there
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - Psionic Roshambo: And because AMD said they would support 400s and 500s on DDR4 I would just lose out on PCIe 4 (not a huge loss for me)
May 20, 2020 4:30 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I was like well hell just get a 470 lol
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Psionic Roshambo: The Real Jdbye pray that fan never dies.
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Tom Bombadildo: 12:28 PM - The Real Jdbye: "Flashing back to an older BIOS version will not be supported." well why the hell not < Because the BIOS ROM is supposedly going to have to be completely restructured to support new Zen 3, so flashing back would result in a brick
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Supposedly lol
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I have had mobo's with fans on them in the past, almost never ended well lol
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They think motherboards with USB flashback may be able to go back, but not sure until release
May 20, 2020 4:31 PM - TomRannd: Like, built in?
May 20, 2020 4:32 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I have CPU less BIOS flash so I can probably pull it off
May 20, 2020 4:33 PM - Psionic Roshambo: But really the only reason I could think of wanting to go back is my new CPU dies and I want to toss my old 2700X in
May 20, 2020 4:33 PM - Psionic Roshambo: When I build my next machine will need a new mobo and DDR5 anyway so the old 4900X can stay in it's happy home
May 20, 2020 4:36 PM - TomRannd: Fusion 360 has crashed so much in the past 30 minutes lmao
May 20, 2020 4:44 PM - Hambrew: ae
May 20, 2020 4:46 PM - The Real Jdbye: Tom: that makes no sense
May 20, 2020 4:46 PM - The Real Jdbye: if you can restructure it to upgrade, you can restructure it to downgrade
May 20, 2020 4:46 PM - The Real Jdbye: with the same caveat, that your existing CPU would stop working after the switch
May 20, 2020 4:55 PM - linksadventures: Hello GBATemp community
May 20, 2020 4:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: https://youtu.be/1N2NCpZ6Otk?t=698 < Just what AMD said. I suspect it's not as easy as you think it is
May 20, 2020 4:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But we won't really know until whenever Zen 3 releases and the BIOS updates release
May 20, 2020 5:00 PM - Psionic Roshambo: It's about code space and AGESA or what ever drivers for iGPU stuff and everything else... I say stub BIOS on the mobo and external USB thumb drive with specific chip stuff that can be copied over based on the chip installed... Basically flashing a BIOS would involve a USB thumb drive that would install the correct drivers per install....
May 20, 2020 5:01 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah but that's a shit user experience lol
May 20, 2020 5:01 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Like the BIOS on the mobo would just be enough to access files needed on the thumb drive all temporary like, it would only work with the chip installed. To install another chip reinsert the thumb drive and do the process again
May 20, 2020 5:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I would rather have to jump through some hoops 1 or 2 times for a couple of minutes than install a new mobo every time I want to change my CPU...
May 20, 2020 5:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Some side benefits of doing it this way would be you could devote the entire 16MB's to that one CPU and GUI
May 20, 2020 5:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: So all the microcode updates and patches could be larger if needed.
May 20, 2020 5:12 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Honestly I don't see why they don't do it like this already.... I already have to update my BIOS with USB thumb drive. lol
May 20, 2020 5:14 PM - Tom Bombadildo: The weirder thing to me is that "modern" CPUs from like 2017 can't address more than 16MBs for BIOS lol
May 20, 2020 5:15 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I get that BIOS don't need a ton of space and such
May 20, 2020 5:16 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And I know it's better for avoiding bad flashes and bricks
May 20, 2020 5:16 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But like, c'mon, at least go for like...64mb, 128mb or something lol
May 20, 2020 5:19 PM - Psionic Roshambo: True lol
May 20, 2020 5:19 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Maybe this will be a lesson going forward, they should segment a larger BIOS with a boot block and the actual BIOS
May 20, 2020 5:20 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Put like a 1GB chip in it for pennies I would imagine these days
May 20, 2020 5:20 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I think 16 GB MicoSD cards at like 10 bucks with packaging and profit margins and all that.
May 20, 2020 5:21 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Bought in bulk a 1GB chip should be almost nothing.
May 20, 2020 5:22 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-32gb-microsdhc/p/1B4-00M4-000E3?Description=microSD&cm_re=microSD-_-1B4-00M4-000E3-_-Product
May 20, 2020 5:23 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 5 bucks with an adapter and everything and it's 32GB lol
May 20, 2020 5:36 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Thing is, I don't think you'd need 1GB worth of BIOS
May 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Especially in a case like Intel where every release changes chipsets and such
May 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Even with AMD's AM4 support for 4 generations of CPUs, I don't think 1GB would be necessary
May 20, 2020 5:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: To support like, every single CPU that'd fit in the socket
May 20, 2020 5:38 PM - Tom Bombadildo: 128MB's, I could see being like the max for mass support plus enough extra space for any AGESA updates and such
May 20, 2020 5:39 PM - The Real Jdbye: there's security risks with storing the BIOS on a regular flash chip
May 20, 2020 5:40 PM - The Real Jdbye: not that they couldn't solve that
May 20, 2020 5:41 PM - The Real Jdbye: but the BIOS is not just a ROM it's basically what connects every part of the system together, maybe there's a reason they don't store the rom on a separate chip you know

May 20, 2020 9:40 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Welp, moved my gaming desktop upstairs in place of living room PC, so I can at least access all my shit on it remotely as before lol
May 20, 2020 9:40 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Still need to pull up the carpet in the basement to hopefully find a damn drain, but just haven't been able to
May 20, 2020 9:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: It stopped seeping last night, which is good I suppose, but I don't have a way to pull the water out at the moment. Need to rent a carpet extractor so I can pull water out but literally all the hardware stores around me are out of rentals
May 20, 2020 9:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Apparently I'm not the only one with the issue
May 20, 2020 9:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Hopefully will be able to get one tomorrow or the day after
May 20, 2020 9:43 PM - TomRannd: Having problems with rain or something?
May 20, 2020 9:43 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah, got water seeping up into my basement
May 20, 2020 9:44 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Specifically, in one room that was my office which had all my expensive electronics
May 20, 2020 9:44 PM - TomRannd: Damn. I've had that happen to me before. A really annoying thing to deal with.
May 20, 2020 9:45 PM - TomRannd: Have you found the source of the problem or is it still unknown?
May 20, 2020 9:45 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Still unknown, we know it's either seeping up through a drain that's "supposed" to be under the carpet we put down when we bought the house, or it's coming up from cracks in the foundation
May 20, 2020 9:45 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Just had tons of rain the last few days, and gonna be even more all next week which is gonna suck
May 20, 2020 9:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: We're hoping it's from a drain, cuz then my insurance will cover me up to $5k in damages
May 20, 2020 9:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But if it's from cracks in the foundation, I'm fucked lol
May 20, 2020 9:46 PM - TomRannd: Yeah, the foundation would be hard to repair without a doubt
May 20, 2020 9:47 PM - TomRannd: Do you ever have earthquakes near you?
May 20, 2020 9:47 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Nope, if it is damaged it's 100% going to be because my entire property is covered in goddamn trees
May 20, 2020 9:47 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And their roots are fucking my foundation
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I saved the majority of the expensive stuff though, which is nice. All my consoles and my PCs and such, but I have 2 desks that are probably gonna be tossed and a dresser down there that will likely have to be tossed. Probably have to tear the drywall walls down and replace those
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: My fancy gaming desktop is gonna be fine though cuz it has metal legs
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 5K worth of old laptops here comes Tom!!!
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - TomRannd: Ah shit I know the pain. My grandparents live on a farm and their "cowboy" room has had a tree root almost puncture the basement once. Thankfully the property location has no rain at all
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: "I lost like 5 macbooks!!!"
May 20, 2020 9:48 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I'm gonna get metal legs... lol
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: RIP shit laptops
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: All my good shit laptops are upstairs
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Except for my Windows 98 laptop, but that's put up IIRC so no water should get to it I think lol
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - TomRannd: I finished watching a video on the Pentium Toughbook. It seems like a good idea really,
May 20, 2020 9:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Yeah turn in the old mac books and say they are crazy newer models
May 20, 2020 9:50 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Tough books are kinda cool for the right use case.
May 20, 2020 9:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Oh I guess the box of my 2 12" car subs that are down there is probably gonna need to be replaced, too
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Not that I use them anymore lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I wonder if I put my amp up, too
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Psionic Roshambo: lol baby ears too sensitive for that crap Tom
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - TomRannd: I have no clue of the wlectrical regulations near you, tom. But is your electrical panel clear of the water?
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Psionic Roshambo: You have to let them grow a bit bigger before you play Ace of Base lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: We pulled them out before we had the babby lol
May 20, 2020 9:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Oh yeah, it's not deep water lol
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - TomRannd: Oh, good
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: It's like maybe an inch, if that, in one specific room
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d73tiBBzvFM
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Though it overspilled slightly out, but still a ways away from anything important
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Tom just convert your basement into a swimming pool
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - TomRannd: Ah. Quite ironic for the fact it's in your "electricity prone" room lmao
May 20, 2020 9:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Yeah lol
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: The worst of it is I can't pull power from the room cuz my modem and router are in it, and it's the only place it can be
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But since the water won't reach the outlets I'm not too concerned
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I unplugged everything else lol
May 20, 2020 9:53 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-iLd0W3cpI
May 20, 2020 9:54 PM - TomRannd: Oh shit. I wonder if you got like a plastic tub to shield it or have you worked something out?
May 20, 2020 9:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Nah it's all up off the floor
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And the outlets come in from the top of the room and are like a foot or two up from the ground, so no chance of like arcing or anything bad lol
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: All in all, a fairly flood proof room
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - TomRannd: Oh that's good. All of my basements outlets are no more than 10 inches from the floor.
May 20, 2020 9:55 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Except for all the precious electronics I carelessly toss on the floor
May 20, 2020 9:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: At that moment Tom fell into the chemical soaked water where his Internet router electrocuted him... downloading the entire contents of PornHub into his brain making him Porn Man!!!

May 20, 2020 10:00 PM - TomRannd: I think I might design a custom PCB for that NES cart emulation thing psi
May 20, 2020 10:21 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I am surprised one doesn't already exist somewhere
May 20, 2020 10:24 PM - TomRannd: Yeah, me too actually. I'm sure people have made one but it just hasn't been released to the public. I'm still iffy on it though. Because I'd also need to take in things like the ports, and resistor etc. When I can just use a solder board and some adapters.
May 20, 2020 10:25 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I just checked Amazon nothing
May 20, 2020 10:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: If it existed it would probably be on there... or aliexpress lol
May 20, 2020 10:26 PM - TomRannd: Oh trust me man I've searched far and wide. Although I am kinda glad for it. As I always enjoy doing shit MY way yknow?

May 20, 2020 10:28 PM - TomRannd: Those labels are nice. And I recently got that 3D printer so I could make one of those super easy. Also, my adapters wont fit in that thing
May 20, 2020 10:28 PM - TomRannd: But that's what a flat head screw driver is for. Prying open the casings on cords!
May 20, 2020 10:33 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg8ZctiTRew 4 way SMT lol neat?
May 20, 2020 10:37 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Useless for most things lol
May 20, 2020 10:37 PM - TomRannd: That's... Interesting lmao
May 20, 2020 10:38 PM - Tom Bombadildo: "Oh boy, let's split up our powerful cores into 4 shit threads!"
May 20, 2020 10:39 PM - TomRannd: Reminds me of Reddit
May 20, 2020 10:39 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Probably be good for like servers and stuff that need lots and lots of threads and not so much lots and lots of high performance lol
May 20, 2020 10:40 PM - TomRannd: I think AMD is trying to go for the "we do everything" title.
May 20, 2020 10:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They're already there TBH. The only thing they still can't beat Intel out on is pure gaming performance, but otherwise they basically have everything else
May 20, 2020 10:44 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But the gap between gaming performance is relatively small, at least compared to price anyways, so it's like why bother?
May 20, 2020 10:44 PM - TomRannd: Beats me, Maybe they have secret tech and uh... Yeah idk man
May 20, 2020 10:45 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I wouldn't be surprised if AMD could beat Intel right now in single threaded IF they went "OK just run 54,000 watts through the CPU!!!" lol
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Right now it's basically brand trust and "Intel is best for gaming!" that's keeping Intel on the map
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And I guess people who don't know/care lol
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I suspect Ryzen 4000 might change some of that lol
May 20, 2020 10:46 PM - Tom Bombadildo: and the fanboys
May 20, 2020 10:47 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Possibly, yeah
May 20, 2020 10:47 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I just hope Intel comes out with something 7nm eventually lol
May 20, 2020 10:47 PM - TomRannd: In the long run, though. Both run games very well.
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - TomRannd: I think the biggest thing about AMD is the price, too. Compared to Intel.
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Tiger Lake with 10nm should show up like...2021
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol
May 20, 2020 10:48 PM - Psionic Roshambo: If Ryzen 4000 is as good as the rumors say.... You think Intel will jack Skylake up to more cores and like 5.6Ghz? lol
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Which will support DDR5 and PCie 4 and such
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - TomRannd: Maybe?
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 450 watts draw is fine... ignore flames coming from CPU....
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: "It's melting the heatsink...."
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Well, Alder Lake is supposed to be the desktop one anyways, Tiger Lake is mobile but yeah
May 20, 2020 10:49 PM - TomRannd: Just put a good cooling system and it'll be fine. phshaw
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I'm surprised by the 10th series reviews for thermals actually
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They draw so much power, but apparently both the 10900k and the 10600k have like...really really good thermals
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Probably throttles way down when it gets hot.
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Despite the 10900k eating like 200w at load lol
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - Tom Bombadildo: No, no throttling
May 20, 2020 10:50 PM - TomRannd: really?
May 20, 2020 10:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: With 4.8ghz all cores unlocked, it'll only hit like high 80'sC
May 20, 2020 10:51 PM - Tom Bombadildo: For the 10900k
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: It just sucks back power like nobody's business lol
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - Psionic Roshambo: So what cooler will these come with? Lol
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - TomRannd: Yeah wtf
May 20, 2020 10:52 PM - Tom Bombadildo: A shit one, but nobody uses stock Intel cooler lol
May 20, 2020 10:53 PM - TomRannd: You'd think they'd have something
May 20, 2020 10:53 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Pelteir cooler lol
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: They were able to shrink the CPU die, and then thicken up the IHS to absorb more heat
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: So despite clocking at nearly 5ghz all the time, it remains mostly cool
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I think to allow more pressure to be applied to the heat sink.
May 20, 2020 10:54 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Which I didn't think would be so dramatic an improvement, but apparently it was lol
May 20, 2020 10:55 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Something compressing molecules together or something lol
May 20, 2020 10:55 PM - TomRannd: I really want one of those mineral water PC builds.
May 20, 2020 10:55 PM - TomRannd: No reason other than it's cool
May 20, 2020 10:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: If you can solve oil creep they look cool
May 20, 2020 10:56 PM - TomRannd: Yeah, and I guess they would be pretty bad for things like replacements/upgrades though
May 20, 2020 10:57 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Neat idea, but awful in practice lol
May 20, 2020 10:57 PM - TomRannd: unless you build in a drain system. But that's be pointless
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - TomRannd: Also, they should make fish smarter so they can not run into my motherboard. oh and maybe actually live in mineral water
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Design PC to be LN2 submerged will be fine
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol
May 20, 2020 10:58 PM - TomRannd: and not shit all over my power supply.... yknow what
May 20, 2020 10:59 PM - TomRannd: i guess i could get one of those silly fish robots they have at toys r us
May 20, 2020 10:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Would need to put the components in like a metal vacuum enclosure before dropping it in the LN2
May 20, 2020 10:59 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And then design components than can actually function at super low temps
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Cuz modern motherboards already have issues booting up if there's too much cooling from LN2
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Super conducting nano particle spintronics with quantum dots and I ran out of rechno buzzwords lol
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - TomRannd: yeah. it's one thing to keep your pc cool. but you dont want it a fucking deep freeze lmao
May 20, 2020 11:00 PM - TomRannd: Psi you okay?
May 20, 2020 11:01 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol no I got called into work tonight stupid officers dying of corona or something lol
May 20, 2020 11:01 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Weak ass mortals lol
May 20, 2020 11:01 PM - TomRannd: damn what a loser
May 20, 2020 11:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: They need to promote me to captain already lol
May 20, 2020 11:02 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Promote my captain to the desk in the main office leave the trenches to me lol
May 20, 2020 11:03 PM - TomRannd: What do you work as?
May 20, 2020 11:06 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Armed security at a hospital here in Florida
May 20, 2020 11:07 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Me and my Glock 17 have to fight off meth addicts and crazy poeple lol
May 20, 2020 11:07 PM - TomRannd: Interesting. I er... I uh work from home and uh do things like repairs on things i own...?
May 20, 2020 11:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: It sounds much more peaceful to me
May 20, 2020 11:08 PM - TomRannd: But actually, I'm learning to become an electrician
May 20, 2020 11:08 PM - Psionic Roshambo: See that sounds electrifying lol
May 20, 2020 11:09 PM - TomRannd: Well, I mean one wrong move and your dead. But that's why we wear safety glasses! Oh and turn off the power that works too
May 20, 2020 11:16 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Did shoutbox explode? Lol
May 20, 2020 11:17 PM - TomRannd: Hm?
May 20, 2020 11:18 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/amd-ryzen-4000-vermeer-16-core-spotted-with-46-ghz-boost-clock
May 20, 2020 11:18 PM - Psionic Roshambo: 16 core 32 threads lol
May 20, 2020 11:20 PM - TomRannd: Lower boost clock though. But it doesn't really make a difference lmao
May 20, 2020 11:25 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I think the IPC gains are rumored to be like 20%
May 20, 2020 11:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: So 4Ghz would be like = 4.8Ghz or something
May 20, 2020 11:26 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/gskills-fast-ddr4-5000-ram-will-probably-cost-more-than-your-gpu/
May 20, 2020 11:27 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Some of that to go with it lol
May 20, 2020 11:28 PM - TomRannd: Holy. That is quite out of my budget.
May 20, 2020 11:28 PM - TomRannd: Although, having that would made things like emulators a dream
May 20, 2020 11:29 PM - TomRannd: Bluestacks? Yeah funny
May 20, 2020 11:29 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Not really, RAM speed doesn't have much of an impact on emulation
May 20, 2020 11:30 PM - TomRannd: I thought things like CEMU really depend on that shit though? Have I got something mixed up or-
May 20, 2020 11:32 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Cemu I'm not sure, but everything else it's basically a negligible difference
May 20, 2020 11:33 PM - TomRannd: Hmm. Well in that case I'd assume CEMU wouldn't be any different
May 20, 2020 11:34 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Apparently it did boost speed in earlier versions of Cemu, but since they added dual core recompiler it's same as everything else
May 20, 2020 11:34 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Just make sure to have lots of it and fast as possible
May 20, 2020 11:34 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol or just download more
May 20, 2020 11:35 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Gotta download all the RAM

May 20, 2020 11:35 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 20, 2020 11:36 PM - TomRannd: Soon, we'll have ways to download more wattage for your power supply!
May 20, 2020 11:37 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Intel let's you pay and download a code to unlock more PCIe lanes on some of its servers lol
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Although that's just scummy lol
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - TomRannd: ew seriously? That's just as bad as adding more cameras.
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Lol wut?
May 20, 2020 11:38 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Or on disk DLC lol
May 20, 2020 11:39 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Pretty sure that's not a thing Psi lol
May 20, 2020 11:39 PM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.zdnet.com/article/facepalm-of-the-day-intel-charges-customers-50-to-unlock-cpu-features/
May 20, 2020 11:39 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol but it is
May 20, 2020 11:40 PM - Tom Bombadildo: So not a server, shit OEM CPUs, and in 2010 lol
May 20, 2020 11:41 PM - TomRannd: I love the "Facepalm of the day"
May 20, 2020 11:41 PM - Psionic Roshambo: They did it on servers later with PCIe lanes lol
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Not as far as I can find Psi lol
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: That Intel upgrade bs literally only applied to 4 CPUs
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Upgrade_Service <
May 20, 2020 11:42 PM - Tom Bombadildo: And it was just like...more cache and speed bump lol
May 20, 2020 11:43 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Still a shit tactic to prey on idiots
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: Todaly worth it dude
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: lmao
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - Tom Bombadildo: But hey, 2010 was that special time when AMD had shit for CPUs and Intel was king
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: I was 8 at the time!
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: woo!
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: i think
May 20, 2020 11:44 PM - TomRannd: yeah
May 20, 2020 11:45 PM - TomRannd: okay yeah I double checked sorry had a brain fart
May 20, 2020 11:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: I cant find it but Linus Tech Tips did a video on it
May 20, 2020 11:49 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Wà server oriented stuff not consumer and not based on the CPU but instead PCIe lanes
May 20, 2020 11:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: I think you're just crazy ;O;
May 20, 2020 11:53 PM - Tom Bombadildo: Having anti-Intel fever dreams ;O;
May 20, 2020 11:54 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 20, 2020 11:55 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Nahhh when Intel is doing good (90% of the time) I love Intel lll
May 20, 2020 11:56 PM - Psionic Roshambo: Hell I even liked the Pentium IV lol
May 21, 2020 12:00 AM - Psionic Roshambo: It's just hilarious that hey seem to have slipped on a banana peel got hit with a blue shell and landed face first in poop.
May 21, 2020 12:01 AM - Psionic Roshambo: I'm sure it won't last but for the time being it's hilarious
May 21, 2020 12:01 AM - TomRannd: It's sad how fucking accurate that was
May 21, 2020 12:02 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Amazing what happens what a competitor stops fucking up for like a decade straight lol
May 21, 2020 12:02 AM - Tom Bombadildo: i can't remember the last really good AMD CPU before Ryzen lol
May 21, 2020 12:03 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Like, maybe Athlon 64 X2 in 2007?
May 21, 2020 12:03 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Around there anyways
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Then Bulldozer came out
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And it was like...wtf?
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And then they were utterly useless until Ryzen basically
May 21, 2020 12:05 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Mainly bought by people with no money lol
May 21, 2020 12:06 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Exactly I used to make sooo much fun of AMD lol
May 21, 2020 12:08 AM - Psionic Roshambo: If anyone said they wanted a dirt cheap PC I would recommend they save up a bit more for an Intel machine lol
May 21, 2020 12:09 AM - Psionic Roshambo: It does make me excited for what Intel will make when they get back in the game.
May 21, 2020 12:09 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Maybe skip all the nm stuff and quantum computer chips or something
May 21, 2020 12:12 AM - Tom Bombadildo: I think the one AMD CPU from the shit years I kinda liked was an APU I had in a laptop that had like...a half-decent GPU in it lol
May 21, 2020 12:12 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And that was kinda it
May 21, 2020 12:13 AM - Tom Bombadildo: It could play like...Skrim at 60fps with medium-ish settings at like 720p, which was miles and miles better than Intel's HD4000 trash lol
May 21, 2020 12:13 AM - Tom Bombadildo: And it was in like a $300 laptop or something
May 21, 2020 12:14 AM - Tom Bombadildo: I remember being able to play like Black Ops and Black Ops 2 on it lol
May 21, 2020 12:14 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Can't for the life of me remember which one
May 21, 2020 12:15 AM - Tom Bombadildo: But it was one of the "top of the line" APUs in that series IIRC, an A10 something something lol
May 21, 2020 12:16 AM - Tom Bombadildo: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A10-4600M-Notebook-Processor.74065.0.html < This one I think
May 21, 2020 12:17 AM - Tom Bombadildo: 4 cores! 35W! Performance similar to an i3 2310m! lol
May 21, 2020 12:18 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 21, 2020 12:19 AM - Tom Bombadildo: https://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-satellite-s855d-s5120-15-6-a10-4600m-8-gb-ram-750-gb-hdd-qwerty-us/ < Aha, that was the one
May 21, 2020 12:19 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Yeah I think the APUs where decent GPU wise
May 21, 2020 12:23 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Good laptop, have fond memories of it lol
May 21, 2020 12:23 AM - Tom Bombadildo: Then I gave it to my little bro when I bought a Surface Pro 2 and he fucking destroyed the thing
May 21, 2020 12:23 AM - Tom Bombadildo:

May 21, 2020 12:24 AM - Tom Bombadildo: I think I still have the carcass in a box somewhere
May 21, 2020 12:27 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Lol
May 21, 2020 1:01 AM - Psionic Roshambo: Laptop not trampoline? Lol
May 21, 2020 1:06 AM - TomRannd: huh
May 21, 2020 1:06 AM - TomRannd: I gave my trampoline to my neighbors kids
May 21, 2020 1:14 AM - Psionic Roshambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXqGmQfKs3U
May 21, 2020 1:15 AM - Sonic Angel Knight: Tom, don't break your gameboy, that's not nice.
May 21, 2020 1:41 AM - SG854: I had one of those trampoline on a shoe. Moon something shoe.... it was a goofy thing.
May 21, 2020 1:47 AM - SG854: https://youtu.be/a8xroRlbXCg
May 21, 2020 1:51 AM - TomRannd: How'd they work? You bounce along the sidewalk going to school lmao?
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: You don't actually wear em to school. Just at home for play.
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: I found this video looking up moon shoes and I trade me laugh
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: https://youtu.be/V36LpPkwJ7I
May 21, 2020 2:01 AM - SG854: *made me laugh
May 21, 2020 3:15 AM - TomRannd: Hah I liked that. I like the art style, too
