some of my ram seems to be broken so now it's running on 1gb

2017-08-07 18:43:52 UTC  

Did you memcheck?

better start debating about .45 vs 9mm

2017-08-07 18:47:13 UTC  

got the ram to work

2017-08-07 18:47:21 UTC  

it's running on 3gb now

RAM's cheap. I bought a 4GB stick for ~30$ at a local store

2017-08-07 18:51:01 UTC  

ram may be cheap but I'm even cheaper

2017-08-07 18:51:07 UTC  

3gb is plenty

2017-08-07 18:52:21 UTC  

I'll steal some from work i guess

2017-08-07 18:56:46 UTC  

@gunnercobra i know, asked that in the thread and some anon reply this: >>61777239 (You)
Looks like that seller changed his xiaomi controller (which is discontinued) listing to keep the number of order and postive ratings. I'd buy from another seller as that seems shady.

@TheYellowBandit get a gimbal 🤔

2017-08-07 20:12:25 UTC  

chink furniture is so much more expensive than ikea and similar

2017-08-07 20:18:42 UTC  

I want this one but I can't find any replica on Ali

2017-08-07 20:43:51 UTC  

why <:thenk:329322130804047872>

2017-08-07 20:47:11 UTC  

it also looks uncomfy as fuck

2017-08-07 20:47:40 UTC  

It kills stupid kids.

2017-08-07 21:33:50 UTC  

wondering who the hell buys GPUs from gearbest

2017-08-07 21:36:07 UTC  

pajeets and russians probably

2017-08-07 21:39:25 UTC  

real talk tho

2017-08-07 21:39:29 UTC  

how good could they be

2017-08-07 21:43:01 UTC  

Well, the chinks are making legit supercomputer CPUs, because they don't want to get cucked by Intel. Could be good, could be shit.

2017-08-07 21:43:55 UTC  

>some people genuinely believe this

2017-08-07 21:45:10 UTC  

The Chinese will simply steal whatever Intel or AMD or even IBM makes, they aren't going to be making any OC ever

2017-08-07 21:45:54 UTC  

i mean tbh

2017-08-07 21:46:13 UTC  

i'd expect the chinese graphics cards are just reference design but with some cheaper parts

2017-08-07 21:46:21 UTC  

probably more cheaply made pcbg as well

2017-08-07 21:46:40 UTC  

not about to drop money on any to verify that but

2017-08-07 21:47:40 UTC  

by cheaper parts i'm talking like "hey why get the $0.01 resistor for R25 when we could get the $0.001 one

2017-08-07 21:47:48 UTC  

not "let's use a cheaper gpu and mislabel it:"

2017-08-07 21:47:58 UTC  

It'll work probably but no one really thinks it's going to be anything but a much cheaper and slightly lower performance intel card

2017-08-07 21:48:23 UTC  

"why use a $4 fan in the cooler when we could use a $2 fan

2017-08-07 21:48:51 UTC  

"silkscreen on the pcb? who even looks at those, leave it off"

2017-08-07 21:49:24 UTC  

"let's make this slave child drill out the board instead of the expensive robot" is also a possibility

2017-08-07 21:50:57 UTC  

the fact that they still cost a few hundred tells me they're using legit amd/intel/nvidia gpus on the chinese video cards since that one part is nearly the entire cost of the card

2017-08-07 21:50:58 UTC  

They legit bought some old CPU architecture (most likely for next to nothing) and upgraded it. It was dirt cheap to manufacture (not paying for the intel inside sticker), so they can easily get a powerful supercomputer. Just increase the number of CPUs in the machine until you get acceptable performance.

also yeah china does actually design stuff too
