>America says hey how about we trade each other without tariffs? also stop stealing our technology

2019-05-25 11:20:45 UTC

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2019-05-25 11:55:14 UTC

considering tho they never had foothold at china in first place

2019-05-25 11:55:25 UTC

can they then be banned ?

2019-05-25 12:00:22 UTC

yeah because they were banned from entering in the first place

2019-05-25 13:13:50 UTC

you cant ban unless you have permission to be in first ๐Ÿค”

What has happened to the $300 16 core ryzen

2019-05-27 06:45:39 UTC

Ayyy

2019-05-27 06:45:46 UTC

They know they can charge more

2019-05-27 14:01:45 UTC

Beijing itself isnโ€™t without options. Some speculate China might retaliate against the ban of Huawei -- which may widen to include some of its most promising AI firms -- by in turn barring Americaโ€™s largest corporations from its own markets. Apple Inc. could relinquish nearly a third of its profit if China banned its products, Goldman Sachs analysts estimate.

Ren said he would object to any such move against his American rival.

โ€œThat will not happen, first of all. And second of all, if that happens, Iโ€™ll be the first to protest,โ€ Ren said in the interview. โ€œApple is my teacher, itโ€™s in the lead. As a student, why go against my teacher? Never.โ€

holy shit

2019-05-28 06:10:10 UTC

intel's getting RAPED

2019-05-28 06:10:39 UTC

ARM's new processor BEATs Intel's ultra thin i5 lineup

2019-05-28 06:10:56 UTC

even at emulating win32 apps

2019-05-28 06:11:36 UTC

this means future ultra thin and light laptops will be using ARM CPUs

2019-05-28 06:11:45 UTC

and apple replacing intel with it as well for their macbooks

2019-05-28 06:47:17 UTC

<:you:265281777168416768> unironically taking these benchmarks as facts

2019-05-28 06:47:41 UTC

in a curated benchmark by qualcomm, in memory and gpu bound applications, while running a newer OS and at a lower resolution

2019-05-28 11:12:05 UTC

Still reasonable to be excited. The difference in battery life is ridiculous, even when you factor in the lower resolution display.

2019-05-28 11:51:36 UTC

except if in the real world it's twice as slow and you're negating battery usage by waiting for everything

2019-05-28 12:02:30 UTC

I beg to differ quite an bit

2019-05-28 12:02:50 UTC

If it's twice as slow you might just want to scrap some task (like gayming or heavy photoshopping)

2019-05-28 12:03:14 UTC

And some other tasks will 'feel as fast' because the difference is minimal (text editing, spreadsheet etc)

2019-05-28 12:03:52 UTC

I'm quite doubting the performance benchmark of qualcomm, mind you, but even at half the performance of the i5 it might be a good option if the battery performance is twice its competitor

2019-05-28 12:04:32 UTC

It's just not gonna be a high end laptop

2019-05-28 13:17:51 UTC

^

2019-05-28 13:18:11 UTC

Using a laptop for anything other than business tasks is, as far as I'm concerned, deeply retarded.

2019-05-28 13:35:27 UTC

why not

2019-05-28 13:36:33 UTC

Depends a lot on what you want to do but since I expect the answer to be anywhere near gayming it's gonna require components (mainly a graphic card) that's gonna be shit and super expensive

2019-05-28 13:37:56 UTC

+ whatever underlying (air flow/temperature management, battery life is gonna be hot garbage, weight, etc etc)

2019-05-28 13:39:59 UTC

Piss poor for media consumption (tiny screen by necessity, or you're going to be hauling a fucking monster-laptop). As above, it's fucky for gaming (performance / heat dissipation / cunty keyboard / screen once more).

2019-05-28 13:40:18 UTC

For photoshop tasks, screen AGAIN.

2019-05-28 13:40:32 UTC

its not 2005

2019-05-28 13:40:40 UTC

Might be good quality, but are you really going to pretend working on a 13" display is remotely pleasant?

2019-05-28 13:40:40 UTC

ofc there is some tradeoff

2019-05-28 13:40:54 UTC

being either weight/size(chunkyness) or price

2019-05-28 13:41:06 UTC

And yes, you can dock the fucker... but at that point it's a pseudo-desktop instead.

2019-05-28 13:41:17 UTC

With shit heat dissipation.

2019-05-28 13:41:22 UTC

docking is as simple as connecting it to hdmi

2019-05-28 13:41:30 UTC

expect there is tons of onsite/at customer/consulting load where laptop outshines easily any desktop in terms of convenience, getting things done etc

2019-05-28 13:41:44 UTC

instead of waiting to demo something be it code,3D,photoshop

2019-05-28 13:41:44 UTC

Sure. Business tasks.

2019-05-28 13:41:48 UTC

you can do it on the fly

2019-05-28 13:41:59 UTC

not only in business but hobbyist use too

2019-05-28 13:42:19 UTC

if I was a student who both needed a pretty powerful pc for lets say compiling code and taking notes and gaming I'd totally buy a laptop

2019-05-28 13:42:20 UTC

I'd rather stab myself in the kidney than use a laptop as a laptop for any prolonged period of time.

2019-05-28 13:42:20 UTC

visiting hacklabs, backuping those pictures from camera to get more room to SD card

2019-05-28 13:42:22 UTC

etc etc etc

2019-05-28 13:42:37 UTC

its just about invidual need

2019-05-28 13:42:40 UTC

quite a few of my classmates go back home to their province for the weekends so in that scenario its totally justifiable

2019-05-28 13:42:51 UTC

some dont need battery capacity at all some prefer 10 hour capacity on small package

2019-05-28 13:42:56 UTC

god bless capitalism for the option to choose whatever you need and a really wide selection

2019-05-28 13:43:07 UTC

^

2019-05-28 13:44:53 UTC

i mean id rather have laptop that can last 10+ hours on research work

2019-05-28 13:45:13 UTC

than desktop what ties me up to single location

2019-05-28 13:45:18 UTC

SSH.

2019-05-28 13:45:32 UTC

ssh from what ? your phone ?

2019-05-28 13:45:33 UTC

lol no

2019-05-28 13:45:38 UTC

From a cheapo laptop.

2019-05-28 13:45:44 UTC

Stop being obtuse.

2019-05-28 13:46:08 UTC
2019-05-28 13:46:11 UTC

but you just stated

2019-05-28 13:46:17 UTC

that no laptops outside business use

2019-05-28 13:46:27 UTC

<:benis:239668961011040257>

2019-05-28 13:46:29 UTC

If it hadn't been for the weird keyboard issues on that cheap chink ultrabook, I would have been using that. Super low powered, easy to carry.

2019-05-28 13:46:44 UTC

<:chink:323022148870602752>

2019-05-28 13:46:50 UTC

You're really being silly no, friend.

2019-05-28 13:47:09 UTC

What is this "10+ hours of research work?"

2019-05-28 13:47:24 UTC

Being hunched over a tiny laptop? Then I'm still right, that's retarded and you'll murder your neck.

2019-05-28 13:47:25 UTC

shitposting on 4chan

2019-05-28 13:48:06 UTC

If it's something that requires high performance, which was my assumption (in your favor I might add) then that's entirely doable over a remote connection of some kind.

2019-05-28 13:49:12 UTC

sadly even state of the art remote control software is shitty and annoying at best

2019-05-28 13:49:17 UTC

No ?

2019-05-28 13:49:22 UTC

I mean

2019-05-28 13:49:26 UTC

What are you trying to achieve?

2019-05-28 13:49:32 UTC

sure in perfect world it might be actualy valid option to just "remote in"

2019-05-28 13:49:40 UTC

If it's just compiling some code, then the answer is a definitive no right now

2019-05-28 13:49:50 UTC

?!

2019-05-28 13:50:03 UTC

Even for gayming you got a shit ton of software that just worksโ„ข

2019-05-28 13:50:18 UTC

Fifteen years ago I was using perfectly functional remote desktop software on **Windows**.

2019-05-28 13:50:34 UTC

A platform entirely unsuitable for such tasks, in the grand scheme of things.

2019-05-28 13:50:59 UTC

functional yes? nice to use and convenient ? no

2019-05-28 13:51:04 UTC

Except if you live in a third world country with a dial-up type connection

2019-05-28 13:51:09 UTC

^

2019-05-28 13:51:11 UTC

What are you trying to achieve

2019-05-28 13:51:12 UTC

And I know he doesn't.

2019-05-28 13:51:13 UTC

Really

2019-05-28 13:51:18 UTC

Just describe your use case precisely

2019-05-28 13:51:33 UTC

Otherwise it's just gonna be running around on both sides

2019-05-28 13:52:32 UTC

Even for things that requires mandatory GUI you got possibilities to do stuff as of today that are completely acceptable

2019-05-28 13:52:56 UTC

Sure it **might** not be 180+ FPS silky smooth 4k

2019-05-28 13:53:17 UTC

But as far as I know, almost no productivity / business apps requires that

2019-05-28 13:53:52 UTC

Might require a bit of extra work, yeah, but that's still reasonably doable I guess

2019-05-28 13:56:45 UTC

it does not even need to be 180fps etc on laptop

2019-05-28 13:57:18 UTC

for example you need to edit something while using CNC what you realised while there

2019-05-28 13:57:36 UTC

laptop next to you what can open the software required and do all of it right there and now

2019-05-28 13:58:50 UTC

or whatever remote box what you need first start vpn,connect,start software,think why the fuck you cant directly send the data, find usb stick for said data,download it first from remote desktop to machine you are using to remote into said desktop

2019-05-28 13:59:16 UTC

then move the file either via usb stick or hope that it can boot the software just so you can send it to cnc via cable

2019-05-28 13:59:38 UTC

ohh.. and paying from 2 software licenses instead of 1

2019-05-28 13:59:41 UTC

I assume you're talking about profesionnal CNC right? Not hobbyist?

2019-05-28 13:59:50 UTC

just cnc hobbyist of professional

2019-05-28 14:00:13 UTC

at least here is machine shop what lets you run CNC stuff as hobbyist too (for the cost)

2019-05-28 14:00:51 UTC

I'm gonna assume you meant to say "or" and not "of"

2019-05-28 14:01:06 UTC

yeah or*

2019-05-28 14:01:17 UTC

Hobbyist and pro are very, *very* different contexts for CNC

2019-05-28 14:01:21 UTC

i know

2019-05-28 14:01:26 UTC

If you're going to have to do that for "10+ hours," you've fucked up. Hard. But sure, it's a reasonable scenario for a quick fix.

2019-05-28 14:01:34 UTC

but both have similar needs for right there and now changes without extra jumps

2019-05-28 14:01:42 UTC

As a hobbyist you could go with a single desktop because you only have one/a bunch of machine to control, not a huge fucking factory

2019-05-28 14:01:44 UTC

thats why beefy business laptops are

2019-05-28 14:02:01 UTC

^ business? ๐Ÿ˜‰

2019-05-28 14:02:08 UTC

business laptops as line

2019-05-28 14:02:09 UTC

And maybe a laptop to do adjustment if, let's say, your setup is far from your computer

2019-05-28 14:02:18 UTC

If it's pro, then it's a whole different story

2019-05-28 14:02:20 UTC

not as business use you idiot @kontroll

2019-05-28 14:02:21 UTC

:D

2019-05-28 14:02:30 UTC

๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰

2019-05-28 14:02:40 UTC

In that case, yeah, using a high end laptop is gonna be acceptable *but* usually those are expensive as fuck

2019-05-28 14:02:46 UTC

also as hobbyist your desktop would be at home not at that random rented carage/hall where you need it

2019-05-28 14:02:57 UTC

Yes. Unreasonably expensive as far as I'm concerned.

2019-05-28 14:03:12 UTC

Yeah, that's why I said a main desktop and a remote cheap laptop for additionnal stuff

2019-05-28 14:03:15 UTC

^

2019-05-28 14:03:16 UTC

used business laptops cost sub 1000 easily

2019-05-28 14:03:22 UTC

Sure it might not be the greatest experience ever

2019-05-28 14:03:31 UTC

But compared to a laptop that's gonna cost you more than twice that setup

2019-05-28 14:03:32 UTC

Well...

2019-05-28 14:03:45 UTC

I disagree on that point

2019-05-28 14:03:55 UTC

But, in all fairness, people are willing to compromise in areas I'm unwilling to, and vice versa.

2019-05-28 14:03:57 UTC

Thinkpad hrs

2019-05-28 14:04:06 UTC

Business laptop with a discreet and pro GPU is gonna rip your ass IF you compare it fairly with a comparable desktop setup

2019-05-28 14:04:12 UTC

Even used

2019-05-28 14:04:36 UTC

I'm entirely willing to compromise and use a relatively old laptop for mobility purposes, and have a lovely ol' desktop doing all the heavy lifting when needed.

2019-05-28 14:05:07 UTC

Meanwhile, mostly women are willing to forego the desktop entirely and rely on an overpriced fruit themed laptop. For convenience...?

2019-05-28 14:05:37 UTC

laptops are built for mobility

2019-05-28 14:05:40 UTC

quick check on local store ``Dell Precision 3510 i7-6820HQ 16GB 512SSD FirePro `` for 999

2019-05-28 14:05:41 UTC

not for performance

2019-05-28 14:05:45 UTC

rule of thumb

2019-05-28 14:05:47 UTC

Look, right now I got a P50, let's not compare the full retail price that nobody would be willing to pay, but it's still gonna be around 1k+โ‚ฌ

2019-05-28 14:06:06 UTC

It got a Quadro M1000M

2019-05-28 14:06:12 UTC

Try gayming on that

2019-05-28 14:06:16 UTC

given said firepro is ``` W5130M 2GB ```
but still way more beefy

2019-05-28 14:06:21 UTC

my little Dell Latitude runs whatever I want it to on the go and it looks pretty but I wouldn't run Solidworks or gaymes

2019-05-28 14:06:42 UTC

But why the fuck would you run games on the go

2019-05-28 14:06:44 UTC

there is Zbook g2 with K2100 for 920

2019-05-28 14:06:45 UTC

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2019-05-28 14:06:53 UTC

Okay, let's assume we're gonna go with your setup

2019-05-28 14:06:55 UTC

K5130M

2019-05-28 14:07:08 UTC

It's gonna be around the same performance as a GTX 580M

2019-05-28 14:07:43 UTC

Yiiikes

2019-05-28 14:07:59 UTC

@Droidbot I'd game on the go. Hook up a li'l gamepad and play some NES. ๐Ÿ˜‰

2019-05-28 14:08:01 UTC

Quadros are for werk because double precision, not gaymes

2019-05-28 14:08:15 UTC

@kontroll Hell yeah brother.

2019-05-28 14:08:24 UTC

On desktop

2019-05-28 14:08:26 UTC

x200 runs openttd and emulates fine

2019-05-28 14:08:32 UTC

That's the raw power equivalenbt of a GT 1030

2019-05-28 14:08:44 UTC

I actually tried running RimWorld on the laptop.

2019-05-28 14:08:48 UTC

It ran.

2019-05-28 14:08:58 UTC

And the fan was unhappy.

2019-05-28 14:09:08 UTC

A GT1030 is around what... 100 USD at most ?

@kontroll I tried overwatch on my Latty and got 720p60 with some drops to like 40, lowest settings

2019-05-28 14:10:08 UTC

Not bad for a 7w CPU that's passively cooled

2019-05-28 14:10:08 UTC

Psst, btw, @Tervy... my laptop was โ‚ฌ200 and my desktop cost โ‚ฌ500. ;)))))))

2019-05-28 14:10:18 UTC

Yeah well

2019-05-28 14:10:26 UTC

I'm not saying it's a bad thing in your very specific case

2019-05-28 14:10:32 UTC

psst my work laptop costed sub 1000 and this homepc... i dont even want to know so far

2019-05-28 14:10:41 UTC

But most people don't do pro 3D

2019-05-28 14:10:59 UTC

I also have a pro GPU because I'm using 3DExperience

2019-05-28 14:11:07 UTC

How long before those laptops thermal throttle though? ๐Ÿ˜‰

2019-05-28 14:11:10 UTC

indeed most people need something to hide from view, lightweight, what plays netflix when they are not at home smart tv

2019-05-28 14:11:13 UTC

But it's still shit if I want to do non pro 3D things

2019-05-28 14:11:32 UTC

it is shit for gaming indeed

2019-05-28 14:11:50 UTC

it's shit for pro apps too

2019-05-28 14:11:53 UTC

And *most* people that buy a laptop with a discreet GPU are gonna do that for gayming

2019-05-28 14:11:55 UTC

@Droidbot Hol up. What CPU is that you got a playable Overwatch on?

2019-05-28 14:12:02 UTC

And I think we are mainly targetting those

2019-05-28 14:12:03 UTC

@kontroll m7-6y75

2019-05-28 14:12:24 UTC

*Still* you could probably have a decent desktop setup for cheaper even with a Quadro/Firepro

2019-05-28 14:12:55 UTC

Better than my i7-whatever. <:iosthink:328535776843268105>

2019-05-28 14:12:57 UTC

literally quadro k2200 would go toe to toe with that meme of a GPU and it's like $150

2019-05-28 14:13:01 UTC

yeah most likely getting cheaper model used elitebook or thinkpad would still be able to do those fixes

2019-05-28 14:13:10 UTC

and play average joe games

2019-05-28 14:13:15 UTC

According to the first benchmark I found.

2019-05-28 14:13:21 UTC

and that's only because SNX wants its meme double precision

2019-05-28 14:13:29 UTC

most pro apps don't even use it

2019-05-28 14:13:44 UTC

indeed

2019-05-28 14:13:57 UTC

but snx is a workload where if you're paying for it, you can afford to buy a top of the line machine

2019-05-28 14:14:20 UTC

if I remember correctly it's like 10k USD a year

2019-05-28 14:14:26 UTC

it is :D

2019-05-28 14:14:42 UTC

just included that there as comparison not as actual usecase for such shitty laptop :D

2019-05-28 14:15:27 UTC

but yeah my point still is there is usecases for many average joes where laptop just suits them better (gaming model or not) than desktop

2019-05-28 14:15:49 UTC

Honestly I don't think so (for average joe not using pro apps)

2019-05-28 14:15:57 UTC

In and out of dorms

2019-05-28 14:16:00 UTC

(and gayming, not business only)

2019-05-28 14:16:14 UTC

average joe gayming wise plays probly 2-3 hours a day at max

2019-05-28 14:16:21 UTC

and not everyday at that

2019-05-28 14:16:28 UTC

And on a consolw

2019-05-28 14:16:33 UTC

^

2019-05-28 14:16:52 UTC

Well if we go by that standard I'd say average joe isn't gonna buy a laptop but a tablet

2019-05-28 14:17:04 UTC

yeah that future is coming soon tho

2019-05-28 14:17:12 UTC

*But*

2019-05-28 14:17:14 UTC

now that tables become more and more actualy usable

2019-05-28 14:17:16 UTC

Tablet has no use

2019-05-28 14:17:25 UTC

It doesn't mean average joe is right in their buying decision

2019-05-28 14:17:29 UTC

Laptop for minimal work even

2019-05-28 14:17:38 UTC

id say yes, as it suits their usecase

2019-05-28 14:17:42 UTC

Once again you need to compare what's comparable

2019-05-28 14:18:13 UTC

Imagine using your phone for document editing and emails

2019-05-28 14:18:32 UTC

(I do it frequently, hate it but it worksโ„ข)

2019-05-28 14:18:55 UTC

i hate browsing almost anything on phone or tablet tho :&

2019-05-28 14:19:05 UTC

even tho id love to get actualy good tablet with working linux in it

2019-05-28 14:19:21 UTC

Pine64 coming soon (never)

2019-05-28 14:19:47 UTC

@dee I don't see the problem. I'd edit shit on my phone.

2019-05-28 14:19:49 UTC

But then to get back on the topic, if you want to be a bit serious on gaming, laptop is gonna be a hassle and/or price will skyrocket

2019-05-28 14:19:59 UTC

As long as I also lugged a keyboard and mouse along with me.

2019-05-28 14:20:04 UTC

Like those meme nerds.

2019-05-28 14:20:07 UTC

And I'm not talking about trying to max out everything and anything

2019-05-28 14:20:11 UTC

Which I won't, so fuck it.

2019-05-28 14:20:28 UTC

Just try to play any random *current year* AAA on high/very high settings on a laptop

2019-05-28 14:20:42 UTC

It's probably gonna cost you a kidney or two

2019-05-28 14:21:11 UTC

but why current AAA titles instead of normie games like minecraft,LoL,Rimworld(not that normie game), factorio, whatever

2019-05-28 14:21:19 UTC

While at the same time you could be buying a desktop AND a laptop with decent remote control capabilities

2019-05-28 14:21:33 UTC

AAA games are shit though

2019-05-28 14:21:35 UTC

Speaking of the gaymen... how do you figure the built-in graphics on the new Ryzen CPUs will perform?

2019-05-28 14:21:41 UTC

Because it's gonna be the "worst" on your performance hit

2019-05-28 14:21:52 UTC

@kontroll hopefully even better thanm 2400G

2019-05-28 14:21:52 UTC

Sure, if you want to play "only" rimworld, suit yourself

2019-05-28 14:21:54 UTC

NES games on a gba sp is better

2019-05-28 14:22:07 UTC

But someone who games regularly will generally not play one single game

2019-05-28 14:22:12 UTC

And even only those you mentionned

2019-05-28 14:22:24 UTC

I got a 2* ryzen laptop. Its good

2019-05-28 14:22:30 UTC

So either you're gonna have to have the power to run 'everything'

2019-05-28 14:22:41 UTC

Or you're gonna restrict yourself to a selection of older/less demanding games

2019-05-28 14:22:43 UTC

I saw some video where a fecker was playing GTA5 on some onboard graphics. Shit wasn't great looking, but seemed entirely playable.

2019-05-28 14:22:49 UTC

Some fucko wizardry to be sure.

2019-05-28 14:23:04 UTC

or just drop the quality down to sane levels

2019-05-28 14:23:12 UTC

current AAA games look nice even on medium settings
