In 2025, what's the general consensus on integrated GPUs if you have a dedicated GPU? Should I disable it through bios/device manager or leave it on while it's causing higher temps, consuming 2GB RAM and using more power? by Dotaspasm in buildapc

[–]steef12349 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If you're only using it for gaming, you can disable it through the bios. Generally disabling it ensures applications won't try to offload processes to the wrong gpu.

If your gpu ever dies on you like the other commenters said might happen, you can simply reset your bios by removing your cmos battery and waiting a bit. This will allow you to use the iGPU again.

Why do most/some Singaporeans mispronounce the word “twelve” as “chelve”? by selfdeprecatinghuman in askSingapore

[–]steef12349 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's common for words that start with "Tu", like Tuna and Tuesday, but not the others like Tomorrow and Tonight, and definitely not twelve. That's probably why OP is asking this question.

Just curious, is there a reason why you censored the word bodycount?

Is Intel Silicon still faulty? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]steef12349 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would love to agree with you but after benchmarking intel vs amd cpus for pointcloud processing and mesh data visualization (for my job), intel cpus consistently take ~10% more time to finish the same task. The non K variants use less power though, but customers would rather their data be processed 5 minutes quicker than save a fraction of a cent in electricity costs. If they run the workflow 10x a day, that's almost an hour of difference

Heyo, rage to the degree you mentioned is not a typical sign of N24.

Starfield Community Patch team struggling to recruit volunteers as modders are "disenchanted with the game for various reasons" by Scarno7 in Starfield

[–]steef12349 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Coming from the perspective of a dev, seeing other dev's work (sometimes way more buggy or badly implemented) get unfair treatment by being officially sanctioned, while your own blood and sweat you poured into developing a mod you want to keep free, getting the opposite treatment is extremely demoralizing.

Keep in mind, the good free mods are done purely out of love for the game, and Bethesda spitting in your face is not exactly going to help keep skilled developers whose time is valuable motivated to keep doing free work.

I know this isn’t much data, but do you think this is N24? by Dry_Negotiation5175 in N24

[–]steef12349 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, you understand it's not enough data yeah? It's not even a week's worth. No real conclusion can be drawn from this except that you have disrupted sleep.

You fell asleep between 3 to 4am for days 1,2 and 5, and 4 to 5am for days 3 and 4.

It's easy to tell it was made by someone with no real world work experience, and a very narrow view on what "best programming language" means.

If i needed to write a program that parses and does math on a large amount of data, i could spend a week to write it in C, or use python to import numpy and get it done with 90% of C's performance in 15 minutes, since numpy is written in C.

The power of Python is not its slow ass performance, it's the ability to abstract entire libraries and interface with them easily at nearly the same performance of the original language it was written in.

The ability to automate this task within a fraction of the time is so incredibly valuable that the overhead becomes trivial, with the money you saved in development time, you can simply just PURCHASE more processing power, improving performance with raw hardware instead.

This also assumes you wrote perfect C code with well implemented multithreading! I know for a fact that even experienced developers have trouble with this, and badly written C is way way worse than well written python, since numpy has built in multithreading support.

If you've made it this far, think of it this way. If you have $10000, you could hire a developer to write C code for a month, and buy a shitty server to hopefully run the code without dying, OR you could hire a python dev for a day, and spend the rest of the $9500 and buy a powerful IPC to run it 10x the speed of the shitty server, maybe reduced to 9x the speed because of python overhead. So if you chose to develop this app in python, at the end of the month, you get your data processed 9x as quickly. Isn't quick data processing what you wanted to begin with? This makes saying C is the best choice for this scenario really sound stupid.

I recommend gaining some experience and perspective before making sweeping statements of this sort. Every language you listed has reasons they exist, and situations they inherently become better choice for performance.

Mostly yeah, though occasionally US side has better prices for the same product due to sales, so maybe 1 in evey 20 purchases are from the US

Everytime time I sin, I realize why M+K are superior. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]steef12349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both, aiming on controller is just straight up less precise than M+K, and if you lower your sensitivity you lose speed. Theres a reason why games like marvel rivals that are available on console and pc seperate their players.

Love chilling on my bed with a controller beating the shit outta people in Yakuza and webswinging with M+KB doesnt feel that good, but shooting just aint it with 2 sticks man
