What are the "zones?" are these like the cardio heart rate zones?

This was one of my favorite games on the ps2. I think I spent nearly 130 hours on it playing a few times through.

I can't remember them. Doesn't mean they are good or bad, just didn't stick with me like 8 did.

That guy is literally the criminal element that the Republicans have been speaking out about for years. It sounds like he should be spending some time in jail before being deported. Luckily he admitted his crime in public and on the record so a case against him should go even smoother than a regular one.

This an an absolutely exceptional claim that would put the company decades beyond any tech I have seen. They are claiming remote control of a complicated animal in flight. They also claim it is without training and over distances impossible for a bird as small as a pigeon to carry radio gear.

This is not believable without any evidence.

worhui ,

This is a remote control situation. The bird would do bird things once out of a control signal. They aren't claiming full override and programming.
I could easily see strapping a camera to a pigeon and training it. Maybe even remotely monitoring it and using a pre-trained electrical pulse to change direction.

These claims are beyond that. This is possibly the equivalent of scientist cures cancer where a reported misunderstands what is actually being presented.

That is what I was getting out without trying to use the loaded words.

A home server with an SSD can reasonably saturate 1000MB/s. An actual home use case can be made for 10Gig.

Lets translate that

"If you can not buy a house in cash, you should live with your parents or be unhoused."

Umm this is against rent at all. As in ANY rent. So an affordable price is still against this statement.

This wasn’t “some rent is theft”

worhui ,

That’s not a misinterpretation. This wasn’t a call where rent limits are set by a locations minimum wage.

This was the abolition of rent.

Which does go along with the elimination of ownership. If all housing was state owned that would eliminate the potential for price gouging and allow for the distribution of housing based on pure need. An empty space + a person = housing

Not many people are calling for the end of homeownership.

worhui ,

I thought that they were simply reclassifying anyone who owned property as rich.

I have seen that argument made in good faith.

worhui ,

I have relatives with multiple properties in China and they certainly own it as much as their multiple properties in the US. Owning multiple properties in both they feel quite positive about BOTH systems working as intended.

Maybe someday they will be in for a rude awakening but i have no reason to disbelieve them currently.

His 'fainting' was likely cardiac arrest. It sounds a lot like heart attack symptoms.

I have heard of this happening to people in the US who work in finance. It's never 'overwork' here. It's just a heart attack from poor life style choices.

The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore ( www.howtogeek.com )

I haven’t thought about it in a while but the premise of the article rings true. Desktops are overall disposable. Gpu generations are only really significant with new cpu generations. CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system. ...

worhui OP ,

All of the peripherals will carry on to any new system. With usb-c basically all you need to run in your case is a gpu and nvme.

Throw in thunderbolt and networking as well as hdd based das won’t be bottlenecked.

Yeah desktops can have more ram than laptops and that is the one case where a desktop can really shine. Even then there is usually a pretty big ram limit you need to pass.

worhui OP ,

Typically I’ve seen a motherboard supports about 2 generations of gpu before some underlying technology makes it no longer can keep up.

If you are going from a 30 series to a 50 series gpu there is going to be a need for increased pci bandwidth in terms of lanes and pcie- spec for it to be fully utilized.

I just saw this play out with a coworker where he replaced 2x3090 with a 5090. The single card is faster but now the he can’t fully task his storage and gpu at the same time due to pci-lane limits. So it’s a new motherboard, which needs a new cpu which needs new ram.

Basically a 2 generation gpu upgrade needs a whole new system.

Each generation of pcie doubles bandwith so a future 2x pcie-6 gpu will need an 8x pcie 4 worth of bandwidth.

Even then gpu’s and cpu have been getting more power hungry. Unless you over spec your psu there is a reasonable chance once you get past 2 gpu generations you need a bigger Psu. Power supplies are wear items. They continue to function, but may not provide power as cleanly when you get to 5+ years of continuous use.

Sure you can keep the case and psu but literally everything else will run thunderbolt or usb-c without penalties.

At this point why not run storage outside the box for anything sizeable? Anything fast runs on nvme internal.

worhui OP ,

Technology moves on. The highest spec iPads blow away older workstation class pc’s for non-gpu loads. It would only be the OS holding that back, not the hardware.

worhui OP ,

And if you are buying a 5090… a newer CPU platform is like a drop in the bucket.

That is the point of the article.

The problem my friends has is that he is rendering video so he has a high performance Sas host adapter on the same PCI bus as the GPU. He upgraded both hoping the 5090 would play nicer with the sas adapter but he can't pull full disk bandwith and render images at the same time. Maybe it's ok for gaming, not for compute and writing to disk.

The thing with power supplies, they continue to provide enough power long after they lose the ability to provide clean power under load. Only when they are really on their last legs will they actually stop providing the rated power. I have seem a persistent networking issue resolved by swapping a power supply. Most of the time you don't test a power supply under load to understand if each rail is staying where it needs to be.

worhui OP ,

This isn't against desktops. It's against idea that a desktop is significantly more future proof than another form factor.

worhui OP ,

I’ve used the same PSU and case and drives and network card for a decade

How many full backups do you have of the data on a decade old drive?

Storage is one of the most relevant things to be continually replacing. I have decade old drives as well but they live in tandem with their replacements as mirrors. Until recently storage was so insanely cheap there was little reason not to replace it.

worhui OP ,

From a pure aesthetics standpoint hubs and cables suck. From a functional standpoint they are equivalent except for the GPU.

worhui OP ,

Unless you’re going above your current PSU’s rating that thing’s good until it’s dead.

Power supplies will work well past the point of providing clean in spec power on each rail. Lots of parts in a power supply can stop working properly before it physically no longer passes power.

Unless the PSU is relatively new it's not a great idea to put it into a new build with testing that it is still in spec on each voltage rail under a load.

worhui OP ,

This post is about new builds, upgrades and using old parts with new ones.

worhui OP ,

You are literally the only person saying that out this this whole exchange.

worhui OP ,

Your history sounds exactly like the spiral of component replacement that is being discussed.
it sounds like your replaced everything multiple times, but just kept the case.

IMAX is 4K or less content. Its edge is special projection that can look good and brighter on huge screens.

Only imax film prints are significantly better than anything else

That website was called ‘cute overload’

It was like social media exempt there were no people only animal cat pictures.

A whole feed of it.

immigration is not going to cost Trump anything .

His supporters don’t like the bad news, but like the results.

I see the social media going back to the old, both sides are the same rhetoric.

Here are some recipes I have made in the past from food pantry items.
Don't look down at food pantries and don't wait till your homeless or in debt to get some help.

Quick Beans

2 cans beans (black or pinto work)
4 tablespoons tomato sauce
2tsp cumin
1tsp onion powder
2 tsp oregano
salt /pepper to taste
1/2c chicken broth

Mix them all together in a pot. Bring to a simmer then down to a low simmer until the beans soften and the sauce thickens. If the sauce thickens before the beans soften up, add a bit of water(or more broth if you have it)

If you have an** air fryer crispy potatoes**
Wash and quarter small potatoes( these usually cost less per pound. I get about 10 pounds for $3-4)
drop in boiling water until the outside is slightly soft but the core will still be solid (test with a fork)
Drain the potatoes and put in a bowl, toss with salt untill the outside gets fuzzy,
Add some kind of oil (or melted fat if you have leftover from cooking) and toss more

put in the air fryer for about 15-20 minutes at 375

He's completely out of touch. I do buy his justification, but that still makes him responsible. He has an amount of power, however small, that none of us do to at least curtail some of what is happening.
Failure to use that is support of fascism. He needs to go since he doesn't understand that.

Would the Nintendo switch remakes of the Square game through HDMI also carry the improved look?

worhui OP ,

The D24 is a 1080i monitor. I'd been reading around and it seemed that was a better way to connect it them the component cables.

worhui OP ,

I was thinking of running the switch games though the crt.

worhui OP ,

Is there a specific game?

worhui OP ,

When it launched I took the day off work and rented a movie theater to play it. ( I knew the projectionist so I only paid the theater) I then rented all of the ps3 games from blockbuster. The wireless controllers worked from the front row of the theater to the booth.

It was awesome for gaming.

worhui OP ,

Do you have any xbox360 recommendations? I just found a broken one looking in the garbage.

worhui OP ,

it was on a crt when I first got it. It was some years before I got the LCD TV it was still hooked up to.

worhui OP ,

I don't think that's going to be in the cards. I might see if there are places I can rent/borrow one.

worhui OP ,

It launched in 2006. A 40" was still more than $1000. A 32" Crt TV could be had for $400300. I'm guessing a lot of these wound up attached to CRT tv's

worhui OP ,

Thanks. I had a working xbox 360 gifted from a friend the RROD on the first disk of Mass Effect 2

worhui OP ,

The last of the CRTs were 720/1080i. I didn't have one but for HDDVD/ BD disks it was killer to watch compared to an LCD.
Plasma was a very deep pocket purchase, even for someone who could afford an early PS3/Xbox 360 HDDVD.

worhui OP ,

Checking on this the HDMI can be converted to HD-SDI which is a digital signal. The BVM internal DAC's are reported to be better than what game systems came with. However I'm not sure if it is worth the cost /effort.

It's just that I have one, so in this case I wouldn't have to drop ??? $$ to get a different retro system and a game. It also plays PS1 games so that opens things up a bit.

worhui OP , (edited )

So it's in the perfect buy it now phase. Like when goodwill would have 4-5 Snes on the shelf and a shopping bag of games for $20

worhui OP ,

2 GTA games landed on it. Think of how long that is. It was out for 11 years, nearly forever in console time. A literal generation of time passed.
