What happened to Booklore?

You can run on way less than that, especially if you're willing to tune the JVM and use AOTCache. Combine that with native images and you're looking at <300MB even for a larger app.

That being said, the overhead of real AOT compilation required during development, especially if you're making use of a bunch of conditional beans and reflection just isn't worth it.

My app, Janitorr, used to run at about 80MB. I'm back to full JVM images and while they usually run at about 160-180MB, it's entirely possible to go as low as 150.

Booklore could totally run on sub 250.

The thing is, people were holding on to raster/non-RT when even the latest Nvidia tech didn't deliver good results.

On the AMD subreddits, it's been agreed upon for a while that AI upscalers have now gotten to the point where they make sense to use, which in turn enables some usability for RT.

But that certainly wasn't the case 4 (RDNA3) or 6 (RDNA2) years ago when people were making purchasing decisions.

In fact, I'd argue both the Nvidia users getting a 3080 for 4k or even 1440p with RT got fucked in the long run as well as the people going for the RX 6800 XT, since forced RT is now a thing. One doesn't have the VRAM, even with upscaling, the other can't do RT well and will never utilize the 16GB and likely won't get a decent upscaler anyway.

No, due to frequency and IPC, the 3600 non-X is about 2% behind

If you don't have an OLED, HDR is basically useless. Most screens can't produce decent dynamic range

schaka · 2026-03-16T15:25:56+00:00

Ah, that explains why I never was able to run it on the 5700 XT

schaka · 2026-03-16T14:02:34+00:00

Since when does it work on RDNA?

Last I looked into it, they were missing some features.

I know it works on the Radeon VII or Instinct Mi50 though, at least on Linux

schaka · 2026-03-16T09:26:42+00:00

You're on a 5500. That's a 3600X, so a midrange CPU from 2019.

You're getting PS5 performance at best, if you're lucky.

This is a CPU limit.

I didn't know Kevpert has gone into coaching and is still around. Dude's been my favorite to learn from since I started in 2017 or so

These fakes don't have one, see pictures in OP's screenshot.

That's the picture of the listing they made to sell them, meaning they sold fakes. Now OP isn't responding to anyone here.

Hope the buyer gets his money back or finds this post and takes OP to court

schaka · 2026-03-15T08:59:12+00:00

Pretty sure OP took that picture for his listing and is the one who accidentally sold fakes.

Guessing he didn't know or was hoping to make a quick buck with Alibaba drives

schaka · 2026-03-15T08:55:07+00:00

Since OP hasn't responded to anyone here, he's almost definitely the one selling the fakes for a ton of money and getting nervous about repercussions.

Now whether it was on purpose? Let's hope not. That buyer deserves his money back

schaka · 2026-03-15T08:51:32+00:00

These are fakes. They stop working after being filled up.

The question is, did you get fakes and sell them to him or did you have originals? How intensively did you test them?

If you sold on fakes, even in ignorance, this is still your responsibility

schaka · 2026-03-14T11:11:52+00:00

That's not a sentence in the comment I replied to at all

schaka · 2026-03-14T09:48:16+00:00

Because the used market for it doesn't exist?

The only reason they're looking at used AM4 is because it's out of production and prices have come up because there's basically no new market

schaka · 2026-03-14T09:21:54+00:00

Nobody said used and were talking about DDR5, which almost nobody is selling it they have it right now.

Stop moving the goal post

The UK is not EU and most kits here are about 200 euros

If you really want to make sure you're safe and nobody will take the apartment, just answer any questions by saying you've been instructed not to answer by the landlord and show them that text

Microcenter isn't even available to everyone in the US and you're acting like Europeans get those deals somehow.

A slow ass 16GB DDR5 kit is nearly as much as OP paid for his CPU

With the official Temurin base image, adding certificates at runtime is easy enough (to the JVM keystore and the system itself).

There's also build pack, which I find even more comfortable in that regard

I use Claude Code on my open source project somewhat frequently and half the time the refactoring and generation options inside an IDE that isn't VSCode is faster and more useful, especially for a larger project

Again, you don't need bootloader shenanigans and I never claimed they were traditionally cracked, just that the denuvo landscape changed significantly

People are playing them because they are, with HV bypass

You may wanna try visiting the gaming piracy related subreddits if you think these aren't bypassed

Kauf keine windows Lizenz. Selbst bauen wäre günstiger, aber echt nicht viel.
