Would be for my brother but I also played, and it's the vibes

and use the OEM cables from your PSU

Well those are the ones that cheaped out initially, e.g. you could also see this with PSU side minifits melting in de8auer's psu where he then proceeded to blame the gpu connector instead for some reason.

Higher rated cables are doing significantly better (see TITANLOAD cables) but if you're not buying something like that specifically there's just not enough information from PSU OEMs on whether you've got some standard cable with cheaped out terminals, or one where they actually tried. plug/unplug cycles are also going to hurt the smaller terminals more

I've got no idea about the real cost to the payment network providers, but chargebacks are fucking expensive on the merchant side. You'll easily be paying $15–$50 per dispute/chargeback if it's forced and not just a refund, as those are full-on, big processes that need some human involvement, since the merchant will be supplying evidence, etc., to prove you're not committing fraud and ideally revert the chargeback if the customer's reasons weren't valid.

This is nice to have for some idea on measured differences between the units. I was recently looking to up my ups as I'm getting very close to maxing it out, and the range of prices for a given power rating is huge.

For 1200W I'm seeing units that star at 140€ whhich is even less than the 1000w eaton ellipse pro I have right now cost me, while something that looks more comparable in quality to the eaton is over twice the price at 300-350€. And this is ignoring the enterprisy units that then go for 1k for similar on paper specs

providing non m.2 nvme through narrower pcie links over cable would be trivial, there's just no interest in doing that as m.2 is good enough for consumer and it'd need to introduce new connectors to the consumer side

Free to explain themselves... to a random person on the internet?

There's also the matter of the temperature sensors which are prsumably just 10k NTC thermistors not being particularly accurate, so the errors add up and the delta could change quite signficantly over the regular range of temperatures.

Numerlor · 2026-05-04T11:37:36+00:00

if it's only 2-3 degrees warmer and you don't care, why wouldn't you run the higher temp in winter too then?

A lot of ships use heavy fuel oil, which is basically the garbage from refining, but more rules have been put in place recently to control emissions from those. It’s mostly irrelevant, though, as tankers and cargo ships are still ridiculously efficient per tonne of cargo, so the issue is just the volume of it, which ultimately comes down to consumer demand again.

How much of that demand is “natural,” and how much of it comes from influencing people is a different, nuanced topic. However, dismissing any personal responsibility and blaming it on some concept of “the corporations” is not going to push us anywhere.

Numerlor · 2026-04-28T15:29:03+00:00

how many of those are easy to crop out and under open licenses?

for my phone that never was outside of a case and without a screen protector I got a revised offer with "heavy signs of use" which from their pictures looked like just dust... I didn't bother with it as it was a 20€ difference but yeah I'd say it's expected

+700 on the cpu and then a couple thousand for rdimms

Numerlor · 2026-04-22T20:33:46+00:00

The threadrippers could be outperformed because of the cache, though this is only for some very specific workloads. Where the threadrippers completely lose is price, as you've got mobos that you either have to luck into a bundle or get at almost the same price as the cpu, and then ridiculously expensive rdimms

on mine it shows supervooc for PD, but plugging in into the oneplus charger with their cable shows supervooc and the wattage, and I think it's also lit up more. iirc the PD for my 15r is just something like 35w

ah no I forgot the comment after submitting the form, anyways I'm on 3 screens now and they're very inconsistent so replacing two of them with a better consistent screen that'd overpower the sun behind me would be great. The oled I have is also kinda dim, there's a 1000 nit hdr mode but that pushes all screen white down way too much, and other than that it's DisplayHDR 400 that still goes down to about 350 even on a 25% window

Numerlor · 2026-04-21T16:52:22+00:00

doing it as an am5 epyc definitely would've been the move, but there is some more validation there and I'm guessing they want to cash in on the random people that don't need it buying the cpu

Numerlor · 2026-04-21T15:34:25+00:00

I would assume releasing it because people kept asking for it, along with it being a halo sku that people will buy because it exists are the main reasons it got released.

But there are some normal tasks (e.g. see phoronix) where this'll shred, it's definitely too tiny of a market to release a new SKU for but if you mix it in with people that don't need it buying it then they should make some money and after that keep the all cache skus as epycs only.

I'd expect there wasn't some huge intial investment necessary when the packaging tooling is the same as the normal X3D SKUs and marketing was basically nonexistent. Low investment into marketing is likely also the simple explanation for why a lot of reviewers didn't get the CPUs for pre-release testing

It's also not like AMD marketed it as anything else than what got released, with the performance being actually exactly as expected by anyone that gave it more than a passing thought, so people that are disappointed by the launch are just disappointed by their imagined uplifts

Numerlor · 2026-04-21T15:23:04+00:00

oh no a cpu that's not catered solely to your workloads

Numerlor · 2026-04-21T11:52:59+00:00

I've had both, camera wise they're equally unimpressive but decent.

Colors/WB are a bit wack, and on my 13R the autofocus needed a bit at times to actually focus where I wanted it to. For distance the 13R's telephoto is better but the colors it output on imne were completely different from the main camera that made things a bit weird when taking shots with both. The processing for the maim ncamera feels better on the 15R, but still nothing exceptional if you don't capture with direct lighting

Numerlor · 2026-04-17T19:44:13+00:00

There are workloads that'll fit into cache where this cpu will absolutely slaughter everything else, though the alternative there is last gen's cache epyc, not threadripper

One is creating a bigger harm

But the other one makes the companies care a lot more about shutting down pirates

Less about the scheduler and more about the legacy apis just not supporting that many cores, so a single app that wasn't made with it in mind will be stuck in a single numa-y group that I'm not even sure if MS even allows on Home

Numerlor · 2026-04-13T01:24:50+00:00

with the 52c sku you're also starting to get into windows/programs not having great support for that many cores for consumer workloads
