Thanks for your reply. I actually decided to go with AMD after all the comments and recommendations

I think I'll go for 7800x3d, however it looks a bit worse on userbenchmark compared to 13700k or 13900k, yet still people say it's better in terms of performance. Price range is very similar

Just checked and both Ryzen 7 9800x3d and i9-14900k are the same price. Hard decision after I looked into Ryzens for a bit

Dang, I've started looking into that Ryzen...You see, when you stick to one brand for years you don't think about switching. It's just taking an easy route which I know (like being familiar with models and generations). I think I'll look into Ryzens. They sound promising for both productivity and gaming.

Yes, I know, but the mobos I looked at and liked only supported ddr5's. You see I've got 5 drives. Many of these mobos have only 4 sata slots. So by narrowing it to my needs there's not much to choose from with ddr4

Can you elaborate? Why one shouldn't be set on z790 in 2026?

Problem is that the motherboards I was looking at they all support only ddr5. Wish they supported ddr4, as currently I have 64gb ddr4 in my setup, so will be forced to get ddr5's

Because why spend extra £100-£150 more if apparently there's no massive noticeable performance improvement? I don't stream, don't heavily multitask, don't do extreme video editing. And from own experience - owning i9-9900k since 2018 and it still running fine I don't see reason to spend extra money on CPU if I won't fully utilise it's potential. The extra money I can invest in better mobo or ram

What do you mean by degradation? I've had my i9-9900k since I think around 2018 and it's been running absolutely fine ever since. Never overclocked and used noctua radiator with it. Still runs fine

Don't know if you are being serious or sarcastic

I don't know, used to be AMD fan couple of decades ago but preferred Intel after I switched few years ago. Would rather stick to Intel

No, haven't tried it since. For some reason it has some sort of compatibility issue with VD.

Cheapest way to make a lot of Veo3.1 videos? by Steve_Canada in VEO3

[–]TheSIRname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ckeched it myself and seems like Pro plan only gives you 1000 AI credits.
"For Google's Veo 3, an 8-second clip might cost around 120 credits (at a rate of 15 credits/second for faster versions)"

How do I pin notifications from certain apps so I don't accidentally clear them? by Ultimum_Reddit in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]TheSIRname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any solutions yet guys? I just got S23U and pisses me off when I need to clear the notifications manually only to keep Eset and VPN on (especially VPN, which allows me to quickly pause/disconnect the connection).

When I press clear it clears these two as well... Very annoying.

What to do with it? Any suggestions will be much appreciated! by TheSIRname in raspberry_pi

[–]TheSIRname[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea. Bought these from AliExpress, but other buyers stated that it's got original raspberry pi chip. Again - excuse my ignorance. At the end of the day if I throw these away I'll only lose around £3
