    duckypath got a reaction from adarw in Your unpopular (non-political, non-offensive) opinions!   
    Youtubers (LTT included) using "Sponsored" for their videos instead of Paid Product Overview, or Paid Product Showcase. A sponsored video is a normal video that was organically developed that was monetized by an unaffiliated third party. When a company is invested in the development, and final result of the video in question, you can no longer claim that it's a normal video. I don't claim that there's malicious intent behind it either, but it's confusing for viewers, and annoying when watching a video on a product, only to find I can't with good judgment trust the opinions because they're clearly biased. (Although Linus is particularly good at removing himself from that.)

    duckypath got a reaction from 12345678 in no way to lower display refresh rate on legion 5 5800h and 3060 version?   
    I assume you want to know where to lower the refresh rate, when windows settings doesn't provide the option. Since you mention that the laptop has a 3060 in it, this can be done via the Nvidia control panel. Just right click on desktop, find the control panel with Nvidia Logo, and you should see Desktop Resolution option somewhere on the left hand side. From there you should see a similar drop down with refresh rates, which should provide more to you. If you do not, reply to my post and I can help you creating a custom resolution profile with the new refresh rate you want.

    duckypath got a reaction from Sir Beregond in Should I Take NVIDIA Back?   
    Which is very very wrong anyways? Tasks like adobe need the 3090 for the VRAM, 12GB VRAM is no where near ideal for professional tasks. Linus agrees, which is why he just upgraded all his editors PCs to 3090s. 12GB VRAM in the 80Ti, and being considered for professional applications? lol ok
     
    Let's not glaze over the fact that this "review" was completely wrong, inaccurate, and provided terrible advice. Only being made worse by having it justified, rather than redacted, and remade. Typical LTT to leave up a bad review rather than spend some $$ and have it remade to provide factual, good information for the consumer.
     
    I'll also be clear here, I don't think LTT was paid by nVidia, that's stupid. I do think they based the review on bad information, or made some bad calls about its performance and value, and decided to double down rather than admit mistake, which would require them to take down a video with sponsor spots.

    Im not one who usually comes on here to bash/call out a single persons take on a single subject ..but this a big one.
     
    Just watched this weeks WAN show.... your way of the ball on this one.
    Arguing 'Halo products are expensive so if ur worried about the price its obviously not a product for you' ..comes across as incredibly arrogant.
     
    Lets be clear, and i've already posted the list in this thread.
    Nvidas past 'halo' gaming cards (so not Titans , Dual Chip cards, or special limited OCed variants), are all around $700 inclusive of inflation ..or less.
     
    To compare the 3080ti against the 2080ti is obviously stupid comparison and only done to cover ur pov on the subject, ignoring ofc every other 'halo' gaming card, or even every other X80ti card prior to that. The 2080ti pricing was completely out of line.
     
    Arguing that in comparison to the 3090 its a good price is also epicly bad. The 3090 is supposedly considered the Titan class card ...so take past examples again, 780ti, 980ti, 1080ti ..all were Titan class performance for far less than Titan price. And if u dont consider the 3090 a Titan class card then the argument is even worse, if the 3090 is some new class between Titan and 3080ti ..why the hell is it so damn expensive ..where is the Titan ..and why is the 3080 now in the 3080ti price point and the 3080ti even higher still. It works out as a complete shift in pricing tiers.
     
    The 20 series hinted at Nvidia trying to shift the pricing scheme, the initial 30 series card all but confirmed it ..the 3080ti HAS confirmed it. You cant defend that. Its a slap in the face to the consumer, end of story.
     
    In the end ur defending a X80ti that is near 2 times the price it should be in comparison to every other 'halo' gaming card from the 10 series back to the year 2000 taking into account inflation.
     
    Holding companies and the market to task is necessary ..its always been necessary ..just saying " it is what it is" is not helpful.

    Once again LTT prioritizing being first, making assumptions. Clearly the 3080Ti is not a great value, and seeing how they have a 'review' video and recommending that it's a no brainer purchase without knowing a price solidifies that LTT is not a channel for reviews anymore. My opinion makes zero difference, and I don't expect for anything to change, but I can't not call out something this dishonest, especially from a channel that claims to be one of the top in its field.
     
    TL;DR -> Don't watch LTT for honest reviews.

    Also, you are always pushing `invalid1` to your `invalidCards` array, as opposed to the specific card you are validating for that iteration.

    duckypath got a reaction from ne0tic in A report that Apple has apparently secured 80% of TSMCs 5nm production throughout 2021 emerges   
    You really can't be that upset though, because there was opportunity for them to grab the resources they needed as well. If you say they don't have the demand, thus the cash to reserve so much, well then you answered your own question. MORE DEMAND = MORE RESOURCES NEEDED.
     
    Apple has really pushed tech in an interesting direction, and have gotten a ton of support and demand for their product. It makes ZERO sense for apple to not get ahead of everything and procure resources they need. If you argue against that you're a hypocrite, because you're blaming AMD and NVIDIA right now for their low supply. (not you specifically i don't think, but in general with your similar argument against apple).

    Looks are subjective, but if we are going by Macbook standards, I'd say the Blade Stealth is the best looking ultrabook to date. It's priced competitively, and mine has been perfectly reliable over the "top" brands the past year, like the XPS13, G14, and MSI's offering.
     
    It seems like past experiences cloud thoughtful, constructive criticism, I'd suggest you take another look. With all that said you're entitled to your opinions.

    The single core boost is only 100MHz difference, if it is in line with the performance of the 10700K it would also be in line with the 10900
     
    The extra $50 would not be well spent, it would only give you 2 more cores that will not be engaged. Even my 8086K with only 6 cores offers top end gaming performance.

    duckypath reacted to Tanaz in 10700k vs 10900   
    If you don't plan on overclocking there's no point in getting a K scew. Spec wise the 10700K boosts up to 5.1ghz but has 2 fewer cores while the 10900 boosts up to 5.2. So realistically it's the same CPU but with 2 more cores if you're not going to overclock. I'd go with the 10900 especially if you're compiling often than those cores might be put to better use ( not sure what you mean by coding it's a broad  term)

    duckypath reacted to .Apex. in 10700k vs 10900   
    the 10900 would actually boost to 4.6Ghz on all cores, so it would be an overall better deal regardless if you were going to overclock the 10700K or not, though that's assuming the price between them is only 50$

    Hot Take:
     
    1. 3080 10gb models hyped up as $699
    2. 3080 10gb model made in limited quantities, intentionally
    3. 3080 20gb models release more RAM and faster clocks, AIB only, phasing out 10gb models.
    4. 3080 20gb models are $900 for the basic ones, $1100 for the better cooler variants
    5. 3080 10gb models were never intended for mass sale, and were intended to be marketing hype to claim they sold cards for $699
    6. Nvidia laughs to the bank while managing to charge people yet again $1100 for a 2080 ti +20% replacement while claiming it was $699.

    duckypath got a reaction from StrawberryShortCakes in Should he still get a radeon 7 for his kind of workload?   
    I found workflows that utilize OpenCL are still faster on RTX cards. Often I found a 2060 beating the Radeon VII in OpenCL workloads. The one area that the Radeon VII excels although is it's VRAM. It has 16GB. So if his workflow will utilize it, then that in itself is worth it, as nothing compares for the price.

    Only when you ask, your chance of it happening becomes possible.
     
    The discouragement from people for them asking is quite disappointing. I think there is no harm in putting the word out that they are interested in this, because if they never ask, they will never know if they could have or not.

    No it does not, and I don't think the recommendations of waiting are necessarily valid. Yes, you'll probably get a better performing card if you wait, but with its sub $300, the 2060 is a great card for gaming, and I don't see the 3000 series having a similar priced GPU until 2021. Go on reddit hardwareswap for people offloading their 2060 for under $300, and you should be good until the entire 3000 series lineup is out, and the prices are balanced out.

    You're thinking about it the wrong way - you need to consider how it's going to be printed first because in the terminal you can't go back and print on a previous line (at least not without special libraries).
     
    So for the first line you need to cycle from 1 to 3 and multiply them by 1. On the second line you need to do the same thing except this time you multiply them by 2... and so on. When you get to 9 you'll need to start printing the same thing but this time for numbers from 4 to 6 and you need to do this 3 times in total.
     
    Suppose then that i represents the series you're on (this must go from 0 to 2 and tells you whether you're doing multiplications with numbers 1-3, 4-6 or 7-9), j represents the line within that series (1-9) and k represents which multiplication you're printing within that line (0-2). One member of one line will then be (in pseudocode):
    print "(i*3 + k) * j = ..." and every three times this is done (i.e. when k is larger than 2) you can put in a newline and increase the value of j. When j reaches 9 you can increase the value of i.

    Hey so I looked back over your code and there is some minor logic errors with what you're attempting to do. If you want them to be printed out like in the photos where 1 2 and 3's multiplication is all store in the same "table" then you need to account for that in your programming.
    So you first loop needs to increment i by 3. Then you need to also account for the changes to i in the print out where you increase i by 2 and 3 as well when couting out. I editted your example to show a possible way of doing this.
     so for instance you need to change what happens inside your final for loop a bit.
    thinking something along the lines of adding this to your code:
     
    std::cout << i+1 << " x " << j << " =  " << (i+1)*j << " ";
    It's more than just this since you want 3 answers attached. But it should hopefully be straight forward on how to get the 3rd number if you input this into your code.
     
    I put the changes into your code and tested it on my end getting the result you were asking for. 1 is grouped with 2 and 3, 4 with 5 and 6 etc.
     
    Sorry that I missed understood what you were asking for initially I quickly read through it.

    This looks like homework so I'll only try to point you in the right direction:
     
    for each line you'll have to print the result of multiplying three sequential numbers by one number; this can be done in its own loop. Then you'll need a higher level loop to make that one number go from one to nine. Then you'll need yet another loop on top of that to increase the baseline of the sequential numbers.

    So just a very quick look at it. You could use an if else statement that only sends out the endl or “\n” for every third one printed out. So you could cout each time it shoots out and at 2/3 depending on if you’d start counting at 0 or 1 either reset the count, or sent it up to do it only when the count is divisible by 3. I’m hoping that’s what you were asking for.
