  • FML it's the worst time to get into a high end PC, but...

  • I'm reading that driver updates might have effectively solved the stuttering issues, you think it's still something to contend with? I do a lot of video rendering and stuff like that, so it's not purely about gaming. I also think it would be nice to be able to stream while gaming, even though it's not something I do at the moment.

    Also, I do plan to use this machine as my daily driver for at least the next decade, and I want to be able to add more RAM later and keep running whatever terribly un-optimized software gets written in the 2030s. It's a question of whether the 9800 will be a "do everything" CPU for the next decade or not, what do you reckon?

  • Thanks for the courage, one other person is saying a multi-CCD CPU might be a downside for gaming. Is that a serious concern? I've read elsewhere you can disable the extra CCD if you need to. If it's the kind of thing I'd want seven years down the road but leave one of the CCDs disabled for several years, it might still be worth it for me to just have it ready to unleash when the time comes - is that stupid? I don't even know, it sounds too hilarious to be clever.

  • Thanks, yeah I'm not likely to be running any LLMs honestly, it isn't my thing. Good note on the GPU, thanks!

  • This is the thing I'm struggling with most, because I'm drawn to a strong CPU as the foundation of a long-term build but I'm learning that things might not be so simple. Does rendering a 3 hour clip show every week count as heavy productivity? I've been doing that for a couple years. And what's this about single CCD experience? You mean with gaming I assume?

    I thought I might start at 16gb RAM due to the shit show we're in right now hoping it's good enough... You think a 9850X3D would be a good ten year CPU?

  • Ed Neumeier can write a script that is both smart and entertaining... as long as it specifically satirizes late 20th century American fascism.

  • Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media?

  • There's a pretty general consensus that it counts, and it makes good sense from a media literacy point of view to treat it as such.

  • What are you doing for podcast discovery?

    Jump

  • I like Last Podcast on the Left. Comedians on true crime, the paranormal, conspiracies, and history. Their humour isn't for everyone, but it serves to leaven the subject matter.

    I mostly like Marcus on that show, and his music history podcast No Dogs in Space is pretty good too. Great to have someone explain stuff like the Stooges without the "you had to have been there" attitude.

  • Also his Common Sense series is pretty good. Very rare updates, they tend to jumpscare me when they pop up

  • This is absurd, who just offers to share their french fries?

  • Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media?

  • That's a way to use it (and the one I prefer) but it's still media with social components, ergo social media.

  • They already have. It's old news, they've been ratfucking elections since before we were born. They're sig heiling on TV and people still point out that they're hypocrites as if that'll finally break the spell. It hasn't.

  • There's a massive issue with medical care these days, people who can't be incredibly dogged (not to mention intelligent enough to do all the legwork that a doctor is supposed to have done in school and on your behalf) and if you can't just keep trying with different doctors and hopefully finding one that gets you and gives a shit it's really hard to get the right care. Not to mention if you have to navigate insurance. It's like you have to make your own medical care a hobby. But sometimes it's worth it - you can make your own choices, I'm just commiserating.
