"As it stands, AMD's best GPU; the Radeon R9 290X, has its memory frequency hitting around 5-6GHz, while NVIDIA's enjoys things a little higher, at 7GHz. SK Hynix's new chips increase the frequency up to 8GHz, in 4Gb chips

so it will barely keep up with the new 4K resolutions ?

I can hear this music playing in the background... It's making me feel like I could be a Cylon. o.O

Is it by the watchtower?

Michael Frank

@JourneymanGeek Sadly it's not. :(

But I can't tell where it's coming from lol

Journeyman Geek

Is it cold there? It is like 78*F here (california) this week already

Journeyman Geek

Airconditioner is turned down low ;p

Psycogeek

oh

Journeyman Geek

And I (and everyone at work) is recovering from the flu

If your sick, i expect to see a few really detailed answers, that are perfectally done, and you (later) do not even know how you did it :-) Don't be wasting this oppertunity

Journeyman Geek

lol

Alas, I'm not sick enough ;p

(also, took a foul tasting herbal brew, rather than decongestant.)

because my start button is diamond and my LEDs are colored with rubies and sapphires

Journeyman Geek

ekaj

yes.. I can't tell if trolling or serious

Sadly?

People believe this shit

ekaj

I know :(

Journeyman Geek

(amusingly, you can probably get an entire audio setup that's probably kickass as hell for just the cost of the cable. Probably including the room treatment ;p

amusingly, I get actual interference on my Blue Yeti microphone even though its connection to my computer is digital (USB)... I think when it's laid over other wires it conducts small amounts of electricity up into the microphone's analog parts, which causes the interference, not anything to do with the cable itself

Journeyman Geek

o0

allquixotic

the cable is decent and has a ferrite core on it

but yeah, something is picking up noise

Journeyman Geek

sure its not clipping?

allquixotic

yeah it's not

Journeyman Geek

Wierd

Would mean shielding somewhere's a bit naff

(then again, I have a 'good' cable for my audio stuff... but its just a random one that came with a old modem)

Psycogeek

06:45

Nasty DC-DC power conversion stuff? Take it apart :-) Wee Feex.

Journeyman Geek

And my next external sound card won't support it

(its likely mini/micro, since it'll be a DAC, not a big recording/playback box)

""Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion. "" Well then why didnt they use Diamonds . or at least glass fibers. damn cheapskates.

speaking of expensive cables and audiophiles, imgur.com/r/cableporn/KakDkvh

Journeyman Geek

Yeah

man, seeing these cable jobs make me feel embarssed over how my cabling looks ;p

Psycogeek

"All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors " the hard part is getting the electrons to follow the arrows :-) that is where the real money is

Did you see the picture I took yesterday?

Journeyman Geek

can't remember if I fdid

ekaj

don't feel bad about your wiring =p

Journeyman Geek

ahh, yeah

It's the yellow one , yea that one .

Journeyman Geek

With setups like that, colours are functional. And you label both ends

ekaj

setups like which?

Journeyman Geek

If you're putting out a ton of cables?

You colour code and label them. You also put in more than you need when setting up, cause pulling cables again is a pain ;p

Psycogeek

my net is only like 10 cables, and they are all color coded somehow.

I still do not know where they go as they dissapear behind stuff , but they all different colors :-)

the cable company , that raised my rates &#%$^# Has Wi-Fi set-up in the area too I guess i am Paying for it , like it or not.. just have to use a browser to log-in. Beings i am now paying enough to connect the neighborhood, I am wondering if i cant sub-let the wi-fi part

Get DragonLord to start a StarBucks out on the sidewalk :-)

superuser.com/questions/890067/… <--- getting migrate flags, not worthy of migrate. Do I follow the lead and select migrate 3 flags, or go with Off-topic 1 flag?

DragonLord

@Psycogeek Not an actual migration path, just a custom off-topic close reason, so no danger of migration. Vote to close as off-topic, without selecting the custom reason.

Psycogeek

@DragonLord wait , what? it showed some SE site people were picking to migrate? no migrate for beta?

DragonLord

If it's a crap question in real danger of migration, I'd use a custom mod attention flag and perhaps ping whatever mod is available in chat.

@Psycogeek It's a custom off-topic close reason.

Psycogeek

ok but could it have actually achieved a migrate that way? Or needs mod attention?

DragonLord

07:24

The community by itself cannot migrate to an arbitrary site. If you want to migrate a question to a site for which there is no community migration path, raise a custom mod attention flag.

A: How should my flagging change when I gain the ability to vote to close?

1: … is off topic and should be migrated to a site for which there is a migration path? Vote to close as off-topic as "belongs on another site". 2: … is off topic and should be migrated to a site not listed in the vote-to-close dialog? Vote to close as off-topic and flag for ♦ moderato...
