Will the USB-C to 3.5mm jack be prone to noise, as I’m currently using an unbalanced 3.5mm cable running into a 3.5mm to TRS adapter, then a 1-2 TRS cable to the speakers. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I’m pretty new to audio.

any specific reason for choosing AMD GPU? Couple of months ago you could get lenovo legion with ryzen 7945hx and rtx 4070 for 2k eur.

A perfect demonstration of the fact that Linux evangelists are, as Muta puts it, the vegans of the PC world, though. So @ilovecats7715 is right, don't use Linux - not because the OS is bad, but because the community is. Somebody should make a TV show where a Linux user has to pass a human factors in engineering course and an engineering student pass a computer science course and see who succeeds first.

The major issue is lack of electric load carry capacity; specifically the HV transmission lines and sub-stations at the local local level. You're not going to offload literal pipelines of hydrocarbon BTUs worth of energy to an already overburden grid. If anything, you'll have fleets of trucks running on natgas due to energy density and ease of distribution. It's basically hydrogen, locked up with carbon so you don't have to worry about transportation and energy loss from cryogenics of liquid hydrogen alone. Speaking of, the industry is predicting a 20% to 25% increase in US electricity by 2030 just from datacenter usage alone for AI !!! The Houston Chron reported a few days ago this: ERCOT reported earlier this month that peak power loads on its system would rise 6% by 2030 to 94.3 gigawatts — with the caveat there was an additional 62 gigawatts of additional load asking to connect to the grid. “Some of (the 62 gigawatts) will come, some of it won’t,” he said. “But even if it’s just one third of that, in five to six years time that’s shocking.” Dominion Energy supplies power to Northern Virginia, which has the nation’s largest concentration of data centers and is known as the “crossroads of the internet,” and is predicting power demand across its entire territory will grow at a rate of 7.4% per year over the next decade. There won't be one monolithic AI, at least not in physical form. They will be connected with edge-AI performing NPU hardware. In many ways, this will mimic biological brains where regions have specialized functions, only these will be networked together. Density and locality will come later if/when needed. As for the "enshittening", absolutely! Refinement comes later. What matters is creating deflationary forces in the economy by cheapening the labor pool. Obviously this is a bad thing, but I won't digress there. But I think you an I are on the same page with regards to that.

Two Russian guys up the alley from my work pounced on me as I'm walking to get lunch. You Ruski? No no sorry Is ok I speak, car from auction does not run, you look at 5 minutes. Oh uh I'm grabbing lunch Is just 5 minutes come look come look Long story short it's a Chevy Volt that won't start or come out of park with all the warning lights on, told them we can look at it but it has to be at the shop I don't do side work but might need the dealer. They asked where I lived that wanted to tow it to me to do discount side work, I don't do that. Asked me what kind of car I drive. Ended up trying to rent me their spare room 'is so close you save money yes to pay for the new car is expensive yes'. Ugh.

Ty, this happens both when the laptop is plugged in and on power, my windows settings power settings are on best performance. here is a screenshot. i am using a 60w usb-C charger instead of the 200 Watt charger that came with the laptop but before this wasn't an issue (this is bcs i study at my desk and i have the 200W charger at my gaming setup)

nah, HP already got you.. when you plug in some elitedisplays it immediately asks you if you want to turn off "energy certified suck mode", you press once, and poof, no more power limits. it's not called "suck mode", but it is heavily implied that your display will suck if you leave it enabled.

Hmm I don't know if it is a limitation, I have 5 monitors attached atm where 4 of them is attached to my GPU and one attached to my IGPU from my CPU.

Almost the same question as is it worth it to compile your own Adobe premier for performance. Your operating system should be using as much ram as it can because this way applications are cache and will load/perform faster and better. People who keep on talking about small ram usuage sacrifices two things. 1. Less feature rich and uglier/less capable ui OR 2. counterintutively less performance because using cache data rather than rerunning computation for the same data all over again is actually faster, who knows! It is almost if some alogrithms are design to trade space for time!(for those not familar, this is a common stratgy in alogrthm design and analysis to speed up an alogrithm).

Microsoft is "fixing" Windows for ARM for the last 15 years... If you think it'll suddenly miraculously get better, you're an hyper optimist.

Just get AMD, a lot less of a wattage footprint on the high end and yes it will demolish anything Wintel (idiot inside CPU, sorry fellas). AMD has been outperforming Intel for the past 5 years straight... and will at this rate so on. Their node is 5nm and will go down even further below. Intel's 7nm is not even truly 7, partly is 10nm. So are their half assed "BUT MUH EFFICIENCY CORES". AMD's core logic (NUMA node based), is far above Intel. Like 12 real AMD cores equal to 20 Intel P + E cores. Go figure.

Cheapest janky solution would be; - Apple $9 USB-C to 3.5mm dongle (this is a phenomenal DAC/headphone amp) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K25P3N1 - 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2x 1/4" Male TS connectors (left/right) https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-3-5mm-6-35mm-Breakout/dp/B07PJTP7DR/ If there's still buzzing, then we can rule out motherboard noise and that there may be a ground loop somewhere.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a laptop with the Radeon RX 7900M in Europe to replace my current laptop and desktop, so I only have 1 system. However I can only find the Radeon 7600S with the Asus Tuf A16, for about 1050 EUR. Anything above that is impossible to find. Only the Alienware m16 can be bought with the 12 core Ryzen 9 7845HX, which is a beast, but only an RX 7600M XT, comparable to an RTX 4060, for over 2000 EUR. Are there any other Radeon options for sale in the EU? Preferably a Radeon RX 7900M? Import from the US is not an option, as it would be well over 3000 EUR for an Alienware with that GPU.

I ran a P3 for a while... thing was a dust magnet. Meh.

Yeah, my setup is pretty janky. I took everything off of the desk and put it in the middle of the floor with no coils or interference and I've got the same awful hum. I'll probably just see if I can pick up a cheap used audio interface. Thanks for the help anyways!

AP201? I don't like mine a lot but most sure do... I have my reasons though, P200a manages internal space / volume better. And does not have a small cage with a cable run for PSU, I got a P200a as well.

You could try a custom refresh rate https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/custom-refresh-rate/b5889c52-c77a-4ab5-a8cc-c15857183149

I have found the issue, apperently it can't handle 360 hz when I have another display at 144hz how strange is that, but nice to know, is that my GPU fault or just a limitation.

A video would work wonders, suggestion would be recording a clip and putting it here. Remember the 20 meg upload limit, though.

I'd love to see something like the i7-4930K + 2x SLI 780Ti build from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq-zqQiY-OA&t tested again. But taking it through games over the years (GTA 5 for 2015, Doom for 2016, etc) and seeing how it aged over time. Seeing how long is can handle 4K, seeing what point you need to start lowering settings, resolution, and start to only use one of the GPUs, until you get to the point of no support. Another fun in that would being how a system like that could still be useful (to not make people think these old of systems can't do anything still) in productivity, like if it can still do Photoshop smoothly and how it handles 4K footage and such in Premiere.

No idea. I am no longer following the ultra budget market.

Poking around I'd say you're out of luck
