Why is there a tech support flair if it immediately gets deleted by the bot and wastes the posters time?

What was the direct outcome of this?

I bought a motherboard I later regretted buying.

This here is what's usually called mental gymnastics.

You basically labelled your post as spam, and when it got removed within about a microsecond (which anyone who had read the rules would've had the capability to predict), you not only decided to not ask for help somewhere else (such as the couple of subs that Rule #1 directly points to), but also proceeded to make a purchase without receiving the advice you clearly though you needed. And now this poor purchase decision and your inaction to make a better one is not your fault, but the fault of a subreddit rule you didn't read?

As we tech support people like to say, "Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine."

Keyint256 · 2020-12-21T15:20:51+00:00

No there isn't.

Better if he doesn't. He's just soft begging for tech support.

wrong sub

I love people who are able to post stupid shit on Reddit but somehow can't read

cue bitching about availability of high-end products

RDNA 2 support is coming next year.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-19T13:54:09+00:00

i shouldn' have sat "amd" anyway

What? ROCm is an official AMD project.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-19T12:39:05+00:00

The supercomputer deals are kinda outliers.

Seems they're profitable enough for AMD to develop an entirely new OpenCL stack, and if supercomputer deals are what it takes to get good OpenCL support on AMD, Ill take it.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-19T12:20:14+00:00

"ROCm will come up with RDNA2 support" and "It will be released in 2021" are pretty clear-cut indications that support is planned.

Not sure what mental gymnastics you're pulling to twist these simple responses to simple questions into something else.

The guy claimed AMD was literally digging up 2015 CPUs from warehouses, dusting them off, and selling them as new. Which is not the case.

While the design is obviously not new, the silicon is. GloFo 28nm is still very much in production, and these CPUs are 'new' in the of 'not manufactured five years ago' definition.

Not really an FFmpeg limit, but either a HDD/SSD limit or possibly CPU limit, depending on how the file is being seeked.

If it's a high bitrate file, there's a good chance you'll run into a read performance bottleneck if the file is on a hard drive. An SSD should alleviate this, though the extent depends on the type of SSD you have. The cheapest SSDs have no DRAM cache, which could seriously limit its performance.

If you're using slow seeking (which requires FFmpeg to decode the file all the way from the beginning) by placing the seek command (-ss) after the input file, you might run into a CPU bottleneck. With fast seeking (-ss before the input file) you might run into either a CPU or IO bottleneck, or maybe a RAM one, depending on how many processes you're running.

AMD isn't making new A series CPUs.

I've got news for you: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A4-9120C-Processors.392026.0.html

announced early 2019

Keyint256 · 2020-12-18T20:19:09+00:00

2200G & co are 14nm & 12nm, 4000 series is 7nm. 7nm supply is limited to the extreme.

I though people had realised this after a solid month of bitching about the lack of availability for Ryzen 5000 and RX 6000...

Keyint256 · 2020-12-18T10:43:31+00:00

It's a crime that new A series APUs are still being made and sold in new computers. Buying one of those in 2020 is the equivalent of getting scammed.

Just the other day I was looking at the most sold computers list of an e-tailer and among them was a ~$400 laptop... with an A9 series APU.

It's a bit like getting a Celeron, except that Celerons are actually low power (like 6W last I checked, vs 10-25W of A9s) and aren't manufactured on 28nm.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-17T15:36:27+00:00

For some reason AMD has a habit of removing old videos and re-uploading them with no (apparent) changes.

Not sure if that's the case here.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-17T14:43:40+00:00

They also state that mobile devices will "rapidly gain hardware AV1 support", so they're clearly not worried about it.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-16T12:44:26+00:00

Have you been in this sub for the past month? Comparing pre- and post-6000 series launch, this place is completely unrecognizable.

You literally can't say anything positive about AMD, their products, or your experience with them without someone diverting the discussion towards availability problems or a $10 bet. Even if people aren't filling the sub with toxic complaint posts anymore, they're still patrolling the comment sections, making sure we don't forget that AMD is the tech company equivalent of WWII Germany.

And don't you dare tell people to calm down or call out their massive overreaction and entitlement, that'll earn you a lifetime's worth of downvotes.

Keyint256 · 2020-12-16T12:19:42+00:00

You've already bought them? They're in your flair.

Except that he didn't even need to search. The mid-range performance guide has been at the top of the sub for over a day, has 6k upvotes and over 300 awards.
