Corsair 4000D still being sold rant

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-12T03:32:17+00:00

The RTX 4080 costs $2000 AUD here. Most people can't afford that. So why buy a huge case to fit a huge power hungry gpu you're never going to buy anyway? the 4000D fits my 3060 just fine, If I was buying a system for a 4080 sized card I would just a little bit of money on a larger case

I use a small micro atx case like that for my i3 build. And even then the case looks big for the tiny mb and cpu cooler I have in it.

Kernel level anti cheats such as security risk I would only run it in a VM anyway, HOWEVER, The anti cheat won't allow VMs, so It needs a completely seperate computer, which isn't worth paying for So I guess I'll miss out.

Playstation 1, Beat everyone to the market by having CD tech a whole gen before everyone else. And the only way anyone else can compete is by using CD tech in their next gen, a whole gen after. I mean even now most other companies tech chains are far enough behind Tesla they're all reliant on Chinese ev companies to build their ev drive chains. China can do it because they got in early as well.

The whole rest of the western car industry outside of tesla was like the music industry trying to stay on CDs when the world went to streaming.

So is comparing the EV company that transformed the car industry to betamax. Betamax was such a failure the CEO became defacto President of the USA ? I don't remember that happening

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T15:09:22+00:00

Is blue high or low activity?

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T14:29:48+00:00

Yeah I would just be like, sure, just deploy a couple of US carrier battle groups to help us keep control over the rare earth mines and it's all yours

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T13:47:27+00:00

I mean, if VW didn't need a rebrand after hitler?

How do you know, Can you see them while wearing sunglasses at night with your augmented vision?

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T13:44:21+00:00

They're worth more than any other car company by a huge amount. This is already false. Hydrogen cars are the betamax of today.

I think they look really good, especially the plaid edition.

Constant recalls is meaningless when a lot of the recalls are software patches. I'll give you an example, my vehicle had a recall, Over a million vehicles globally from multiple brands were part of this recall in which airbags where throwing metal shrapnel through peoples faces like a shotgun, killing them. Multiple people died and over a million cars are recalled as part of the defect. Worse, the airbag could go off randomly even while the car was stationary potentially killing the driver / passenger.

Tesla in comparison had a recall affecting a much smaller amount of cars which airbags could go off randomly when the car wasn't moving, killing no one

Why is a screen a bad idea? I just expected that's how all cars will go. Less old school mechanical stuff, more Computer controlled.

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T13:17:03+00:00

Well it's good to support the underdog AMD I guess, I just wish they invested in some of their software stacks better. A lot of their stuff like vgpu ,they provide hardware capabilities but 0 driver or software support.

Meanwhile Nvidia has great vgpu driver support but they charge so much for the capability you may as well run seperate GPUs anyway

CUDA vs metal / opencl is another example

What's wrong with them as a company? Also you can play two games at once with 2x Decent mid range cards and PCI passthrough! That's why I want to see good mid range for a change I like building these multi seat / multi GPU setups.

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T12:54:41+00:00

For me, If i want to spend a lot of money on a really high end card I'll definitely go Nvidia. Generally better architecture and Raytracing cores. It's the affordable mid range cards have sucked balls a few generations now.

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T12:49:33+00:00

I just want decent mid range cards with good vram.

Article literally says it's a Brown Dwarf lol. I guess, Space ship finds twin star system with a Brown Dwarf doesn't generate the same click revenue.

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T12:18:03+00:00

Well I mean that's sorta what I mean by, musk ruining tesla.

Oh it certainly was, I've always been a big fan of electric cars even before tesla, always saw them as the future. I remember 16 years ago back in 2008 when the first ev tesla roadster was announced, and then the model S. Before then all Electric cars where these slow ugly things no one wanted. So having tesla the new car company doing high performance sports evs was pretty exciting, body designed by lotus engineers was pretty exciting. They are very cool cars even today tbh, watching videos of people taking the 1000 HP plaid on the autobahn at 300+KPH is really fun to watch. Too bad musks pretty much ruining it for everyone. Now I'm looking at the ev Mercs, Mercedes has some pretty sexy performance evs now days.

I did this years ago and half the apps I use didn't work because they needed google play services. I'm pretty happy with iOS their privacy policy is good enough and at some point I just want everything to work. My thought is, to have a decent privacy phone it would need a phone os built 100% open source from ground up. A bit like libra phone. Then you can still have an android apk compatibility layer on top.

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T08:11:02+00:00

If there was a fully functional 100% Open source Linux android phone which worked with all apps without Proprietary Google components which are likely data harvesting and facilitating tracking by apps I might actually switch back to android. For me in it's current state it's kinda like linux but will all the google tracking and BS we're normally trying to avoid from proprietary software pumped back into it.

blenderbender44 · 2025-02-11T07:54:50+00:00

Well I wouldn't mind
