03:27:45 <rust_collector> I also have to figure out if I want to keep the old simplicity 5-6-7 hp blower, or the almost new china special 11hp one. the simplicity is a much better built machine...
06:23:56 <rust_collector> needs new tires and a carb

17:07:12 <Ampera> They're closer than they have been in ages, but sadly their new 12 core chip isn't as revolutionary over the 9900k as people were hoping.
17:07:12 <Ampera> They do, however, have considerable lead on Intel in a lot of areas, even if it's not a massive one in sheer power
17:07:12 <Ampera> PCIe 4 comes to mind
17:07:12 <DHess_US> If a cheaper AMD chip is playing CS:GO faster than Intel *without* meltdown protection, then Intel has a real problem.
17:07:12 <Ampera> Their lower end stuff probably is sticking it to Intel seriously
17:07:12 <Ampera> all I said is that at the top end, AMD still isn't doing it for the most powerful they have
17:07:12 <Halcyon> Morning
17:07:12 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
17:07:12 <Halcyon> :)
17:07:12 <Ampera> currently doing some home folder cleaning
17:07:13 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
17:07:13 <Ampera> to prepare to use this PC for a job
17:07:13 <Ampera> so stuff I don't care about is being deleted, and stuff I do is being put onto my server, and removed from my PC, if I don't need it here
17:07:13 <DHess_US> The real problem I see is that in scalar integer code, Intel is 4% faster but costs 15% more for just the CPU and that is without fixing Meltdown.
17:07:13 <Halcyon> OMG, this bird is obsessed with chewing my mouse cord
17:07:13 <Halcyon> Even though I've given him one of his own to chew
17:07:13 <Ampera> 399G used -> 273G
17:07:13 <Ampera> I just dumped almost 130G of data, that's a good cleaning
17:07:13 <DHess_US> Zen 2 APUs won't be available until 4th quarter though. :(
17:07:13 <Ampera> Same with their 16 core chip
17:07:13 <Ampera> which I would love to have
17:07:13 <DHess_US> No data on the Zen 2 APU configuration either.
17:07:13 <Ampera> I wish ATI GPUs didn't fucking suck
17:07:13 <Ampera> because they have nicer Linux drivers
17:07:13 <DHess_US> What would you use them for that they are not sufficient?
17:07:13 <DHess_US> Especially on Linux?
17:07:13 <Ampera> gaming?
17:07:13 <Ampera> and it's not that they're not sufficient if you spend enough money, the issue is that they are power chugging space heaters
17:07:13 <Ampera> and not that great of a deal compared to nvidia

17:07:13 <Halcyon> Cute
17:07:13 <DHess_US> I really wish they would do genetic engineering on dogs and try giving them things like the FOX gene which is intimately linked with speech, vocabulary, and grammer.

17:07:13 <steve30> Halcyon, gay pride is tomorrow. Are you coming?
17:07:13 <Halcyon> I'd love to :)
17:07:13 <steve30> there's a parade at 10am, so i might go and see that
