12:03 <Alice> Strangely, COVID-19 seems to be the only thing he's handling properly. Everything else, he's mucking up.
12:05 <Alice> Hum, so, word of advice. Don't buy Samsung NVMe SSDs.
12:06 <Alice> Based on observations, the damned things overheat and suffer performance issues as a result. If you absolutely must get one, get a good NVMe heatsink, and use something like Arctic Silver thermal paste.
12:06 <Alice> Although I have no idea how the hell you'd apply that safely to an NVMe drive.
12:08 <Alice> Really, thus far, all of their products outside of displays seem to have had issues with overheating. I got a flash drive from them as well, it overheats within about 30 seconds of full-speed use.
12:08 <Alice> And performance crawls afterwards
12:12 <Alice> Meanwhile, this ADATA XPG 2TB drive I have has a consistent 3,500MBytes/sec read, 3,000MBytes/sec write, with no performance hits or overheating.
12:16 <Alice> Meanwhile, that old Samsung drive is going into an enclosure with a much better heatsink.
12:18 <Alice> Also, 2TB SSD = nice. No more having to move all my games around constantly.
12:20 <Alice> I wonder if the PS4 Pro I have could make use of the SSD instead. Just hook it up via USB.
12:21 <Alice> Kind of annoyed, though. I wanted to put that drive in my laptop, but there's no way it'd function in it. It needs a heat spreader.
12:21 <Alice> But with it overheating, and my laptop already running kinda hot on occasion..

12:39 <Schism> Also, http://bobandgeorge.com/archives/020126c
12:40 <Alice> There is an upside, though.
12:41 <Alice> You can destroy the spikes, if I recall correctly.
12:41 <RazorSharpFang> Good evening.
12:41 <Alice> All of the spikes are present as destructible, regenerating blocks.
12:41 <Alice> You destroy the block, then have a few seconds to get by.
12:41 <Alice> Of course, this is used to blockade you in some fun ways.
12:41 <Alice> So you have to destroy spiked block walls and rush through.
12:51 <Alice> Hum, so the performance of my Samsung SSD isn't being throttled by heat. What I'm seeing is a tech they use.
12:51 <Alice> They call it TurboWrite. When TurboWrite's been expired for writing data, the drive falls back to a much lower write speed.
12:52 <Alice> So the reason I was seeing variable write speeds is because of that. Sometimes, it'd give me 2000+, other times, it'd drop down to ~500.
12:56 <Alice> I find it interesting that the larger the drive, the better the write performance.
12:57 <Alice> I'm assuming as the capacity increases, more chips are used, and they are combined together like a RAID0 or RAID1 or RAID10 setup.
13:04 <Alice> I need to stop drinking coffee what with the amphetamines I consume.

13:10 <Alice> I think the student is just confused that the professor isn't drawing a consistent sine wave.
13:11 <RazorSharpFang> Is this to do with electromagnetic radiation emitted by excited matter?
13:12 <RazorSharpFang> Because yeah, the frequency tends to increase as amplitude increases for hotter temperatures, weirdly enough
13:12 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
13:15 <Alice> This is for electromagnetic waves with respect to networks.
13:15 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm. I don't think there's a correlation there.
13:15 <RazorSharpFang> When you're producing it that way, the frequency (wavelength really) is based on the antenna you use.
13:20 <Alice> So, I figured out what's going on with Control and it's DX12 version.
13:20 <Lumindia> Oh?
13:20 <Alice> There's a bug in the DX12 version in which textures suddenly reduce themselves to the lowest quality.
13:20 <Alice> People initially thought it had to do with MSAA.
13:20 <Alice> But, it turns out that's not it.
13:20 <Alice> I played around with it a bit. It turns out that the engine is getting confused about available VRAM.
13:21 <Lumindia> interestintg
13:21 <Lumindia> speaking of VRAM, what GPU you currently running?
13:22 <Alice> I can adjust any graphics setting that uses VRAM, and get settings wherein the textures appear as expected, but if I bump up one setting or another, it'll suddenly bug out because the amount of VRAM used increased.
13:22 <Alice> I'm using an RTX 2060 from ASUS.
13:22 <Alice> 6 gigabytes of VRAM.
13:23 <Finwe> I thought 12 GB on an RTX 3080 was today's standard.
13:24 <Lumindia> guessing you missed when we had a discussion about that whole debacle
13:24 <Finwe> Or was it RTX 3090 with 24 GB?
13:24 <Lumindia> with bots buying out ALL the 3080s and charging tens of thousands of dollars for them?
13:25 <Finwe> RTX 3090 seems to be a bargain at around €1,700. :/
13:26 <Alice> It's not.
13:28 <Alice> In any case, the 2060 is sufficient for 1080p gaming in many cases. If you're looking to max out a 144Hz or 240Hz display though, you'll want an RTX 2080 Super or whatever it's called.
13:28 <Schism> I'm fine with my 1660 SUPER. 6 GB of DDR6 too.
13:28 <Alice> Some games will easily manage 144Hz, others not so much, on a 2060.
13:28 <Schism> Mind, not going to be going above 60FPS in many cases, but that's okay.
13:29 <Finwe> Erm.
13:29 <Schism> Though there's always running Q3A at maximum everything. If this card can handle it!
13:29 * Finwe noms on his Radeon HD 5870.
13:29 <Finwe> It's been rather cost efficient. o3o
13:30 <Alice> I'm guessing you're not big on PC gaming.
13:30 <Finwe> It's in my Mac Pro.
13:30 <Alice> Ah, right.
13:30 <Alice> So, decent enough for a laptop then.
13:30 <Alice> Probably better than my laptop's video card, in fact.
13:31 <Finwe> My laptop has GeForce 9400M and 9600M.
13:31 <Finwe> A MacBook Pro from the same year as my Mac Pro.
13:32 <Finwe> And I have a Hewlett-Packard PC with a Core i5-2400 processor and GTX 645 OC.
13:33 <Finwe> The most modern game I've played lately is Dragon Age: Inquisition and the GTX 645 managed it rather well.
13:35 <Finwe> I though I could replace the HD 5870 with an RX 580, that would allow me to run Mojave and Catalina.
13:36 * Schism shies away from Finwe and his heretical Mac preferences.
13:36 <Finwe> :D
13:36 <Alice> I'm indifferent to the hardware itself.
13:36 * Finwe patpats Schism.
13:36 <Alice> It's Apple's practices that peeve me off.
13:36 * Schism flailyhooves, "Unclean, unclean!"
13:36 <Finwe> The old cheesegrinder Mac Pros are quite handy.
13:37 <Finwe> Memory is installed on separate memory cards and hard drive caddies work like magic.
13:37 <Schism> Yeah, though. Apple's hardware is fine. Their software, to be quite honest, is also fine, though the UI setup is alien (if comprehensible, because I have that weird ability to understand systems). Their business practices are a classic example of 'taking the piss'.
13:37 <Alice> The OS and hardware is fine.
13:37 <Alice> The restriction of what you can do with the hardware though is the problem.
13:38 <Finwe> Getting extra power for the graphics card is a bit tricky, but manageable.
13:38 <Alice> They keep locking it down more and more.
13:38 <Alice> Their biggest mistake was cutting out 32-bit support. Granted, they aren't the only one doing it.
13:38 <Alice> Some Linux distros are considering, or have already implemented, the removal of 32-bit support.
13:38 <Finwe> I could officially only run El Capitan on this one, but you can remove the platform check from the installer and go for newer versions of OS.
13:38 <Alice> It's not a bad idea, to encourage the switch, but..
13:39 <Alice> That said, virtualization's slowly starting to resolve the problem.
13:39 <Alice> You can create a VM for a 32-bit OS, and then use PCIe passthrough to get near-native performance.
13:40 <Finwe> I just read about someone booting Linux 5.8 from a floppy disk on a 486.
13:42 <Alice> It's possible.
13:42 <Alice> If you configure the kernel to be as small as possible by picking only the pieces needed to boot it on the system, and then build for size, you can do it.
13:43 <Finwe> As long as the support for the hardware is still there.
13:44 <Finwe> Linux has been quite adamant in its backwards compatibility policy.
13:45 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
13:46 <Alice> Indeed.
13:46 <Alice> But in general, it's about whether or not the hardware drivers and such are being maintained.
13:47 <Finwe> Miss Angeline.
13:47 * Finwe doffs his hat.
13:47 <Alice> There's a lot of code in the kernel that hasn't been touched or maintained for years.

22:45 <Stormspark> the 2060 super and the regular 2060? Not a whole lot, just clocked a bit higher.
22:48 <Lumindia> so they're, essentially, the same card, but one is like, 4% faster or something?
22:51 * Angeline hugs Ali and Dappled
23:06 <Alice> More or less, Lumindia.
23:07 <Lumindia> hmm... what to put that extra 80 bucks towards, then
23:07 <Lumindia> *thonk*
23:07 <Alice> Large-capacity platter drive.
23:08 <Lumindia> I've got a 500GB M2 SSD drive and a 1TB 2.5" SSD in there
23:09 <Lumindia> any particular brand of 2060 you'd recommend?
23:09 <Lumindia> at this point I've just decided 'heck it, a 2060 will suit my purposes just fine'
23:09 <Alice> Huh.
23:10 <Alice> Apparently the lore is that the Argonians of the Black Marsh actually fought back so hard during the Oblivion Crisis, that the Daedra had to start closing the Oblivion gates because the ARGONIANS WERE INVADING THEIR WORLD.
23:10 <Ali> Pft
23:14 <Lumindia> honestly I think 1.5TB across the two drives will be fine
23:16 <Angeline> It helps a lot that all the Saxhleel in Black Marsh are true Argonians (AKA connected to the Hist)
23:16 <Angeline> Which means they share a hive-mind of sorts.
23:16 <Angeline> It's very difficult to best an army like that
23:21 * Lumindia flops
23:22 <Lumindia> I mean, like I said, it's not my money buying this new PC. 'twas government money
23:37 <Alice> Hum, tomorrow I'm gonna clean up my PC.
23:37 <Alice> Properly route wires, etc.
