I am the tech guy too but I usually buy and recommend high end stuff so people don't ask me anymore because they are afraid it will be expensive

Read this and initially expected before reaching the first half you would be aware of recommending tech that aren't expensive for its class but you absolutely stayed in character of being in the high class of tech products be it for yourself respectively or to others

Well that definitely would make recommending networking setups a la your style a chore to follow 

Hello everyone, a little thought lately about this popped up in my mind when I was observing VRAM usage in a game.

I have not found any info on AMD's official website about VRAM allocation in AMD APUs (laptop ones in particular), not even shared or dedicated memory details

For instance I've searched for details on Ryzen 5 5500U, about its VRAM for the built-in GPU it has and in AMD's website I haven't got that information at all

Now, I remember seeing one build guide using one of the first gen or the 2nd (3000 series) Ryzen APUs where in the BIOS it can be configured whether how much system RAM is to be assigned for use for the GPUs of these AMD APUs, I think what I saw was Tech YES City's vid on it

I think for desktop class APUs its pretty clear how they execute the GPU VRAM situation and I am sure that's the case too for the unavailable for mainstream retail Ryzen 7 4750G and ever since AMD has reestablished their APUs using Zen architecture

So yeah I wonder if there is an instance where AMD has explained this for the laptop GPU equipped chips they make

Thank you for your time reading this readers

Thank you for discussion contributors

Hi, do you still use this phone?

 

ok sorry for late reply as I haven't visited this forum for well over a year and a half lol

not me who is using it anymore but my father is still using it

Ah yes Android 12, too bad not everyone will exactly have it because of vendor bullcrap and stuff, can't wait to see what iOS 15 and 16 would bring after getting iOS 13 and 14. This is why I have grown to dislike android because of these kinds of crap.

sure enough the one who put out that prediction. Good that you dislike the situation of Google's goal of giving improvements to the Android OS with this or pretty much the updates of Android before, being used by other phone companies who dwells in making android phones as a scheme for them to sell more phones. Being so confident of that prediction too eh?

I don't think thats normal...

uhuh... should be like this...

Hello again everyone, I hope you all are having a pleasant day, or night

So now my G5 SE has got it's countdown before I let it go from my possession, it's the Realme X that has arrived

But something is a bit off, the colour scheme of the pop up camera part and the rest of the whole body of it is off...

What's with that? As far as I know that small pop up camera part should be blue as well following the body's colour scheme...

Thanks for the visit to this post

Your best bet is to cherry pick an IPS display phone that is known for excellent blacks, and then install a custom ROM that has AOD feature.

Oh right that's a good way to work around on if the stock firmware of the phone I end up find fulfilling the excellent IPS mark doesn't provide an AoD switch,

About the Realme X though since I have settled for that as an upgrade I think I'd miss the capabilities of what can be shown in the G5/SE's AoD, if I remember correctly the Realme X on it's stock firmware is limited to show stuff like phone calls and incoming SMS, compared to well pretty much any notifications that can be shown on the G5 series AoD, eh prolly I'll try the Evolution X custom rom on the X down the line

Any reason you don't want OLED?

Ah hadn't seen this I just slept 8 hours...

So OLEDs to me are nice and all and looks good and I have noted some OLEDs that are natural looking and not oversaturating

but I am still a bit worried of burn in(s), while I myself don't ever use full brightness on a full day on my G5 SE unit and when I use OLED I would surely do the same habit, I am worried when the time I have to or accidentally say, leave my OLED phone on full brightness for half an hour GPS on the motorcycle, I am worried I'd get burn in

Also I have planned to get something for my G5 SE replacement and I have surrendered myself to go AMOLED since I have ordered a well used Realme X that has a FHD+ 6.53" OLED for the screen, at least it has under screen optical fingerprint sensor to cheer me up to not get burn in

So yeah I am still interested to know those kinds of IPS phones that can do the LG G5's kind of AoD, not to disrespect OLEDs but I think IPS can still have their way to get close to how AMOLEDs can do their colour reproduction

Hello everyone I hope you all have pleasant days

So cut through the chase, this photo I attached in this post is an LG G5 SE on my hands, the Always on Display functionality in this one is very excellent to me, due to the fact to me, because it uses an IPS panel pulling this AoD stunt off.

I am aware the LG G5 non SE is pretty much the same thing as this one I have on my hands just with a way better specced chipset at the time and 1GB more RAM on the non SE. So the displays are just plain same between the two.

Now that the LG G5 non SE has been mentioned that can do this kind of AoD as well, I would like to know if there are other phones that have this same thing going on for them too. IPS panel, but blacks are black enough for this kind of AoD quality or just the panel of a phone itself even though non OLED but is just that as good to an OLED when it comes to AoD feature

Thanks for coming by have a great day

A lot of the advise you'll get here depends on how much data you have stored on the machine. If it all fits on the 32GB SD card, store it there and wipe the system clean by installing Linux on the entire disk. Although Fedora isn't bad, perse, there's more choice: Mint, Mandriva, OpenSuse are suitable alternatives for Linux novices. Debian/Devuan, Slackware and Gentoo/Funtoo are suited for more experienced users (although Debian/Devuan are also fine for new users, their installation tool is not so much targeted at this group and can be considered 'spartan' if you're used a do everything in a GUI).

Dude thanks for the reply there! Initially when I see it first I wanted to also reply but at the time I thought I'd give in an informational reaction to your reply but all and all you are delivering helpful information

I just messed Fedora up few days ago after around 3 days of fine use lol, I have this issue of grub filesystem error and so far I am not able to recover it yet again (testdisk have failed the second time, there was a time before this I messed up but able to recover it with said program but the /dev/sda3 the partition that Fedora is on has 0 literal bytes left...)

And now I can only use the system from a Live USB so at the time being I'll just I figure out how to back up all my data on the Linux side then clean delete Fedora then try other distro... System76 Pop OS seems nice like it's really seamless for someone who's really used to GUI but since Pop OS is Ubuntu based do they collect data like Ubuntu does too though? You really got me at the Novice Linux user part

Hello everyone I hope you all have a good day and stay safe

So I just attempted to install Fedora to an Asus core i3-2330M laptop which that laptop is usually for my school duty n' stuffs and bearing 2GB of RAM, all and all it's on a 500GB HDD in which I still have Windows 7 before...

Before tho it was flawless enough and now at the time of writing not (submitting) I'm currently on 'Installing software 100%' after resizing one of my Windows partition to give around 20GB ish of room for Fedora for now

The question now is:

1. Can I gradually give in more storage room for the Fedora side of the system? Later on? I am expecting myself to outright yeet windows 7 out from the drive

2. The first moments after I clicked 'Done' on the Install to Hard Drive process was along the lines of 'resizing partition on /dev/sda2' and that took long in a sense of around 6 minutes. Is that normal?

3. Sorry I can't give in screenshots for further details but when I decide to totally give in the drive's whole storage to the Fedora side do I do it by fresh deleting of the Windows side then search for guides on how to resize partition once more?

4. Oh and how to safely transfer the whole data n' stuffs from the Windows side to the Linux Distro side? So far I'm using the 32GB SD card on my phone to FTP between the sides and I think it works well tho, so far.

Thank you for your attention good people!

you can buy them digitally on the e-shop on the switch. Bear in mind you pay a bit extra but its not that much.

Ah ok i got it. Right probably getting some extra joycons would help for the far times ahead. Thanks there for helping out!

4 minutes ago, Ed-petit said:

yes the cartridge is tiny and fits in to a pocket. It can be installed on other switches yes. The games are great fun for local multiplayer especially Mario kart and Mario party. Its Nintendos signature thing tbh. I would get it if you are comfortable with the price.

Ahh man i remember playing the wii version with my buddy who has it back then... 

So the Mario Kart 8 has a local multiplayer huh, i didnt know that. That is one other game to get.

Also the $421 is really the plain regular V2 switch package without any game bundles, so i have to get the game cards then? By the way there rarely are anyone who sells the game cards near me.

A plain Nintendo Switch without any games comes without any games, while a Switch bundled with a BotW game card comes with a BotW game card.

 

There's also a Hulu app for Switch, and the Youtube experience is the same as the TV Youtube app.

So mostly other than gaming you have those online video services? How about mainstream social media? Say discord?

Ah well its easier to get the physical copy it seems to me. Not that I am not able to figure out how to do that in the eShop but just nice to have the physical copy, and yea just more convenient for the time. So I guess it is with the BotW bundle then.

Just now, Ed-petit said:

It doesn't come with botw pre installed but a game cartridge if i remember correctly (i got mine back in 2017) The battery on the v2 is better (a relative has it) and i can say that it is a good purchase but $421 if your in the US is an insane price. In the UK the V2 is 275 in most stores so im gonna go ahead and im assuming your Canadian. The only problem i have with the switch is that the games that i find the most enjoyable and fun (the og Nintendo games that they made like oddesy and smash bros) do come at a high cost so i would make sure you are prepared to fork out the cash when you get bored of a game.

Is it that small game cartridge? If so then great, but can that cartridge be used for installing the game to other switches as well?

Well 275 UK money huh, im at Indonesia. Its kinda the average prices here. But most of the people here dont really get into nintendo gaming as much so theres like 50 claimed by one of the seller i found online.

Oh also since one of the points of the switch is local multiplayer any games that are fun enough to have? Both from paid category and free

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by my question

I'm planning to buy a V2 Switch regardless of what the rumored Pro has, since the Pro doesn't have any rumors that's as clear as when someone makes leaks of the S20 or the PS5. And for that plan I'm new to the Nintendo guild as I've never owned any Nintendo console before

The reason I want to buy it are the games, Breath of the Wild to be exact and be able to share with my little sister with its noticably much improved battery than the V1. Huh it was great skipping the V1.

The bare V2 without any games costs $421 in my country, and with the BotW physical game card its $473. So what Im so late for is that, is the V2 already pre installed with Breath of the wild? Someone whoms'td've I asked for having a switch said to me it has been that way since march the 3rd 2020??? 

Also I would like to know how far the Nintendo Switch can be useful judging from the non game apps on it, other than Netflix which I dont use at all. And how is the youtube experience on it?

Thanks again everyone

If this is the car that you are talking about... then basically everything... cause fuck europe ... am i right? 

1. engine wont pass emissions or any ecu reading test... or visual inspection of being stock(in some places)
2. roll cage
3. 4,5,6 point harnesses are not road legal here, only 3 point seatbelts are
4. no headlights
5. no airbags
6. no wipers
7. All of the not TUV approved parts
8. do i need to continue? 

wow much restrictions, at least if for any reason i have a Civic like that i wouldn't be doing anything illegal for my aero parts, and just leave the main features of a car like point number 5, 6 be it

the 5 zigen piston and rod in these things are astonishing too, a sleeper version of these could be a well hid firepower

It's "playable", but not enjoyable with 3500u.

Yeah that Predator is more than enough for Assetto Corsa, even good enough for Assetto Corsa Competizione or any sim racing games available. 

oo, the R5 laptop could play some heavy mod 1080p Most Wanted05 i guess. i can't get my head off from the value that it has, a full fledged 512GB SSD not a SSHD bs here, and that 1080p IPS at the price..

What about a 1650 laptop? it's not that far off from the price of this Lenovo and what SSD (M.2 and 2.5" form) to get then?

just realized the picture wasn't displayed right away...

has anyone known anything about this global time attack record car?

just curious what exterior parts makes this civic illegal for street use in your country (other than headlights that i've seen in other times have been swapped by a carbon remake)? are any of the aero parts making it illegal?

short story don't do it, too lazy to type out why so reply if you really want to know

umm Im guessing because it's far from minimum spec furthermore the recommended spec...?

it's fine tho if you're not vibing to type the reason yet, I kinda understand what it feels like to explain a long reason so once again im ok

Does the Acer Predator above, meets the optimal experience? If yes I could step up (need some time as well..) to those Ryzen H series mobile Processors with GTX 1650s like the Asus TUF series, and a decent SSD as most of those Laps doesnt have HDD at it's base models

Thanks for the reply

  Welcome to the post, need help picking a laptop pls

I live in Indonesia, if you need grasp of my currency value then im gonna compare a price of this laptop in US (Acer Predator Helios 300) to my region's price (also USD's value to my currency just got up from usual) 

Acer Predator Helios 300 i7-9750H 6c/12t GTX 1660 Ti 144Hz 1080p 16GB DDR4 512GB SSD in Amazon US

$1129

The same frikin laptop here convert to USD

$1396

Adding insult to injury, this acer would be called hard for the average people here to afford, for scale i've heard my fellow Indonesian (an average Senior High School Student) waiting and saving money for 2 months to buy a $160-180 phone (Realme, meh)

while in the US people with some 10USD savings can afford it in a time of around 100 days

Ok now, as title suggests, how much power is it required to play, say Assetto Corsa on a laptop?

I've got my only candidate to this date, Lenovo Ideapad S340 with Ryzen 5 3500U, 60Hz 1080p IPS display, 512GB SSD and 8GB dual channel RAM roughly at $470 USD (currency converted). From performance analogy, last gen's Laptop APU the R5 2500U is about as close to R3 2200G and the R5 3500U is about substantially better, correct me if there are mistakes please.

I could also look for help if there are any similar spec laptops or better at the $450-500 price range to add in to my research, also could I be getting away with decent performance in video production demands as well (Ai, Blender, Vegas Pro line) with the current candidate?

Thanks for every answer and attention  

What i'm also thinking is if an Evo is getting a remake they should go away (sure) from being the normal new Lancer (the china version only)

if it still brings the 4B11T and those evo x exteriors which could be revamped and maybe 300Hrsprs threshold with the ol' SST 6 Spd, a 2020 version with factory led head lightings and some fresh character added to differ from the Final Edition (which isn't final anymore then, hmm)

then those upper class new JDM teens could be biting the bait, and cvt gangs wouldn't be bigger

Thanks for the knowledgeful answers everyone, it soaked the curiosity out (I mean no joke, I was thinking to smooth out an engine that works like that by using a lighter piston.)

I was blown by how a GeMera could blink a Prius out with a 3 cyl, then it came to my mind... btw since there's no more GeMera info until writing this I could only learn those tech and imagine them
