Small talk & Chit chat

Yea it's the frame gen i'm intrested in with FSR3 and it working in HypR RX but on 6k series if it doesn't happen i will be upgrading, things are always want vs need and atm there is kinda a need for certain things but amd may just need more time with HypR RX to get it to work across older cards but my feeling is it's 7k series and tbh a major selling point.

Yea I still think it's good even thou it took them time to shift 6k series on a larger scale the key thing is they have sold them and they clearly have sold a lot more than even I am thinking.

My general feeling with HypR RX is if they get it to work on 6k series that it will not be as good as the 7k series due to how it works and the key reason some games are stronger than others is due to them games using tech that HypR RX uses itself to do the processing.

Still maybe FSR3 will work so well on 6k series and supported that HypR RX won't be as strong a need for me, really depends on a few things, but HypR RX I see as a very big feature more so than many might think really depends on what you enjoy playing and many older games simply do not have the current gen support, this changes that.

We all know why they have taken their time it's clear and from a biz point of view makes total sense and i honestly feel anyone on 6k has no reason to feel bad about the choice as they are very decent cards, for me the 7900XT just isn't of interest but the 7900XTX is more so, but while a kinda tweaked refresh will come next year there won't be a real upgrade on current cards until 2025 so i'm seeing the 7900XTX as a stop gap till 9k series as if they go full chiplet they are going to be extremely strong cards.

I'm looking at spring as I'd like to enjoy Stalker 2 and I honestly feel it'll play like dying light 2 i.e demanding. As dying light 2 and cyberpunk are the only games where i need to mess around with anything.

On a different note an odd thing happened the other week i got a bargain on that 2tb nvme the odd part is a 2nd came in the post guy has said nothing other than he was out of the country and posted when he got home idk i'd even left feedback lol So now i'm looking to get a third off amazon next week and 2 usb enclosures for the old 1tb's bringing me upto 46.25TB total.

Cancelled game pass no matter what i do even uninstalling all apps and games, the 4 games that are basically stuck will not come unstuck, so no starfield for me atm i'll revisit it later when i find an actual solution as i've done everything all the guides i've found and multiple times and na the 4 games are just screwed and the weird thing is when first installed they were totally fine and even with starfield stating it's 100% ready to install it just wont and the other 3 refuse to finish downloading fully, dam app and the way it's tied to other M$ apps is just straight up even more frustrating than EA app and that is saying something, thou true when it works it's decent but i think it'll become an issue for many over time they are going to need to solve it.
 
I discovered via a comment I left on a video, that too many people don't understand what the left right paradigm is and how they are manipulated and given the illusion of choice, when the result ends up being the same.

Some stated they understood then quickly in the next reply shown there true feelings that are 100% the other way. Also quick to attack and try too belittle and leave the conversation.

Without me even saying or them asking what I thought, when all I'd stated is it's an illusion of choice, but painting me on one side or the other for simply disagreeing with them in the fact that there was even a choice.

Just stunning tbh i thought many more would be a lot smarter about these things by now.

On another subject amazing how sunak comes out and says he'll listen to the people and reverse some things, suddenly the whole of the comments were about ulez and then we all discovered they made 40million in 16 days, absolute robbery. I do not and never have understood how money plays any role in anything to do with the environment such a scam.

Can't see that ulez lasting the amount of videos of the damage and blocking the cameras at play is on a huge scale and even the police understand the publics side and so long as they are peaceful they are letting them block the cams.

£12.50 a day is way too much and to introduce it in this climate for family's with £180 fines if not paid is just such a low ball, only shows that it has nothing to do with climate but putting more money into there friends back pockets.

I can see that ulez becoming a huge issue for London for a long time

Still just my 2 cents on a few things, one I can't understand and the other I fully understand. I don't feel things will get better for a long time and I also think they will get much worser much quicker from here on out.
 
I had to google ULEZ. Remember not all are british here. I completely get your point. 40Mill in that time needs a rapid reassessment.

That said, I absolutely hate London with a passion because of the car pollution. In a way, £12.50 is a great way to deter people from using the car. However, if you drop it too much, its just not going to deter anyone. In Oslo, we have 3 or 4 zones. And you have to pay up to £3 per zone you cross. And THAT is just for an hour, so to get to central from outside oslo it costs up to £10. Now, if im in town for longer than an hour.. that is what it costs me to get back out. There are no exception, no benefits etc unless using an electric car.

I know Oslo has higher salaries, but higher cost of living almost negates that for many. The toll passes here actually work. And I believe the money made is pumped back to the people. e.g. in November our taxes are reduced by 50% in prep for Christmas.

I might have got the figures wrong, but its not far off.

All in all, I would have zero issues with £12.50. What they should have is a monthly payment too. The Oslo toll has also massively encourage public transport which is very efficient. for £80 a month, you have access to all busses, subways and trams as much as you want.

I understand the deterrent, my real issue with it is, the money side as simply saying pay this for your old car will help reduce when in fact it's not a reduction as the car is still on the road and still polluting it has zero impact.

Now sure there are other ways in which the money could off set it.

The case is the backlash is massive and not solving the problem and due to the damage done to everything is just going to be a huge cost so change nothing in the short term.

Myself i don't go to London often and when do always transport as it's dead easy to get around London tbh. I understand that not everyone would know on here about it, just doesn't change the reality.

See here is different and i'd think most would agree and I don't even drive but the income on tax for cars etc that pay for the roads they don't get the upkeep and now they are taking money for the ulez zones and do any of us expect them to do anything right with it, not a chance.

imho the way in which it has been put into action without any clear explanation as to what they intend to do to off set or even being upfront about the income they have already made just stinks of corruption as otherwise it'd be known but of course they will always talk about being transparent which has become a total joke tbh.

So in my view without clear goals on why the charge is there it's simply just a way to try to force something without actually changing the reality outcome.

If it's about pollution and you want the reduction then simply paying to continue to do so in my view defeats the whole idea flat on it's face, no different to banks being bailed out and fined for corruption and insider trading fining them and then allowing it to carry on only to be fined again it's a cycle.

I'm all for cleaning up the world and the mess we make, but there that massive plastic mountain is still in the ocean and they bang on about the climate yet i see nothing being done to change the reality, hell even some YouTubers have done more planting of trees than most governments do.

key thing is it's not like some towns and city's where it's just a central zone that is pedestrian area or something this is the whole of London which is around a 50mile radius a very large area so basically anything within the M25.

Just in my view an absolute scam on the public and coming to more places and in the end your be paying to drive anywhere to do anything at all, while they suck up the money don't upkeep the roads or in reality change anything about the climate at all.

The UK is known as ripoff Britain for a very good reason, Doesn't matter if the government is left or right, They are all corrupt as hell and any money "for the environment" disappears into multiple peoples swiss bank accounts.

The "environment" has become a fantastic tool for the corrupt to make mountains of money.
 
Oh I knew you'd see this similar, still dealing with the crazy comments I'm getting while stating just that doesn't matter which side you ever vote for it's all the same agenda, amazing how people just don't see the reality on a simple comment, thou did get many likes but the rest they are just nuts in some of their views so I'll state my feelings where i see fit.

I just think it's a huge scam, is why the backlash is so massive overall.

Nigh on all politicians in the UK, England in particular, Went to the same schools and go to the same masonic lodges.

As George Carling once said "They're all in the same club and we aint in it".

same thing i'm trying to state to these people, they really try hard to make there point, which is fine but try to change mine or make accusations, been very clear that sides may seem different on things which at a surface look do seem different, but the reality is they are exactly the same exactly.

Idk tbh it's a wasted effort to even entertain some of these people when there views are so poorly put across or they don't even know facts about what they are supporting, in truth pretty mindless and simple things without any idea of a larger picture of how they are being manipulated.

I honestly wouldn't waste your time with rebuttals, Using common sense and logic as the vast majority of the human populace are sheeple with a herd mentality which is why most people are exceptionally easy to program.
 
I was foolish enough to think it'd have improved over the last few years, but if anything for some it's only gotten worse, i tend to focus on people close to me, thing is i didn't even state anything abnormal in my view or attacking or for or against anything yet have had a ton of people with some wacked out viewpoint which doesn't even have anything to do with what i stated it's pretty crazy, so Idk what more to say on that but it's a bad sign in my view.

This is called cognitive dissonance, When you call into question peoples world view many in my experience will start getting aggressive especially people who have been socially conditioned to think a certain way.

The west likes to preach "we're so open minded" when it's not really true, The west is a fantastic place for social experiments and to program vast swathes of people to think a certain way which I know sounds like tin foil hat land but it is what it is.
 
oh i'm aware of it all tbh far too much, used to people disagreeing with me on something, but not when they bring up things unrelated to what i said or try to paint a picture out of context.

Still I just find it concerning that while many have started to see things differently even in my own family and friends and generally at large, but there is still a huge amount that are yet to be deprogramed which after everything that has gone on the last few years you'd really expect it to not be as big a problem.

the manipulation is so real just don't understand people as well as i'd like at times, but i am polite state my thoughts and never back down on my points unless proven false which from any of these people is impossible as they don't even generally state an opinion or fact just attack without realising how they make themselves look.

idk to me it's like a kid with a temper tantrum in the shop and your the adult trying to calm them down, it's crazy but it's how i see it at times.
 
Unraid is finally running on my Dell R720 with the Netapp DS4243 connected with now 20x 3TB drives, using it currently to clear 20x 2TB SAS Drives, 4 at a time because I don't fancy breaking the array in order to reduce the time spent clearing the drives before I sell them.

It's going to be interesting to see how it holds up, the longest it worked previously was 3 days before the web interface crashed, so once I have finished with the drive cleaning I need to install Plex on it and see how it goes.

Can someone explain this to me.

Norwegian netflix has about 40% of what UK offers. With that in mind im ok. Now, we know that Netflix has Geoblocking in place. However when I use a VPN (sticking to Norwegian ISP IPs) Netflix opens up EVERYTHING and i can view what I want.

I thought maybe that they just havent blocked certain Norwegian IPs, but its been 6months now, and not a single issue with accessing what I didnt have before. Anyone else seen this?

So yeah, Norway Netflix with Norway VPN service still gives me access to everything. What gives? (not that im complaining)

edit* If I use my Work PC and access their own Norway VPN, I dont get anything new besides what I already have. So is this some trickery that NORD vpn is doing?

Proof that the Founders 4090 are a design flaw. Basically if you dont push the connector in hard, it will burn. If you push it in as it should, the connectors are actually bending.

The fix could've been implemented in the design stage and it's ludicrously simple.

Encase the connector in a secondary shroud that screws into both the cooler housing and the PCB itself, Zero chance of movement.

It's amazing how many simple things these hundred+ Billion dollar companies full of supposed "geniuses" get wrong or totally miss.

The engineers know. But when they present it to the higher ups they say make it cheaper. Well... Here we are.
 
Just a quick note on this sony wh-ch720n headphones I'm actually rather shocked how good these are extremely light and comfy. Sound wise better than my corsair virtuoso's even asks to take pictures for the 3d audio part and can pair it with 2 devices at the same time, find it odd that the microphones are under the ear cups think that is for the anc but 25 hours power with anc vs 50 hours without so they say.

Me I'm just using them for the TV of a night for the playstation and I highly expect on some beach walks with the mobile.

Very solid for the price I'm surprised just how good they are given a yt video can't really allow you to hear them directly.
