@Erpel @mametsuko It was actually quite good to assemble their newer stuff. The new PAX thingies are bliss to assemble when it comes to the corpus. You basically just open them up and add two boards. It just the innards which can take some time. Like cubboards and stuff.

some adulting rant, time management, hobbies, mh
Show content
today was a day with a lesson learned I guess. I kinda realised today just how much work a single-household can be and how much of a toll it can be in conjuction with other things.
I guess its also about stressing myself out over a hobby I guess. You know I am working on a cosplay atm and hope to finish it in time for dokomi in the beginning of june. So its still quite a few months away but I kinda had a bad day with a pattern I was sewing. I stopped mid-way through as I just did not like the instructions that came with the pattern (or maybe I am just to stupid to understand it correctly?)
Anyway there was half a day gone and the fabric was already cut so I can hope to rescue some of it for the other pattern I have on hand.
Generally I do think I need to take my time with this to just read the instructions and make sure I understand from the text and image what it wants me to do and maybe use dress pins better. Just make sure I sew the thing proper and maybe get some video to help me.
You know I got thinking a bit after this kinda failure. why do I push myself with this? and why is there so little time for things I either have and most importantly want to do?
You know work takes of a lot of time daily. I will mostly work from 7:30 to like 17:20 from monday to thursday and then 7:30 to 12:50 on friday. So I get home at about 17:50 then you have to cook which takes atleast 30+ min for me with prepped ingridients. after that you don't want to do much more stuff anymore since its a hard day after all.
So I tend to have to do and want to do stuff on the weekends. So you have to do things like laundry, general cleaning, cooking, (grocery) shopping. All of it takes much time away. Sometimes I do wonder where my time went on the weekend. Like I did not do much I wanted to do.
Man being an adult surely sucks sometimes. Gotta really fight for time and motivation. There is different things I like to do. Reading, writing (blog-posts), gaming, sewing, TRPGs, riding my bike.
I always kinda have to decide what I want to do and have the time to do next the things I have to do. I want to read more again which I can atleast do on my way to work on the train. Though motivation is kinda lower for that one. I did not do things on the blog.front for a while now. Its something I liked to do, but now it just is not happening.
gaming I can do here and there with some indie games that can played occasionally. Got some nice ones recently.
Sewing can be hit or miss for me. I generally enjoy it. But can also get frustrated and it is quite the time sink to get something done.
I do always enjoy riding my bike always (when I am physically healthy which was hit or miss the last few weeks). It gets you to things and is fun. I always take my bike to the station when weather allows for it and go shopping on an eBike.
I guess I am just kinda frustrated that adulting and doing necessary things in live takes up so much time. But after I took so much time for sewing today my flat looks kinda messy and I am not really in the mood cleaning up right now,
I will have to do that piece by piece over the week I guess.
Living alone surely lets you appreciate many simple things, living together with my siblings was easier since we could share the workload of housekeeping. Having to do all of that alone kinda sucks. I mean I can do it but time surely comes at a premium more than ever before.
I am now working on sorting through and getting stuff off my plate as I can, I postponed my TRPG-sessions as I am not in the headspace to prepare a session and it was stressing me tbh since it has a deadline.
The cosplay-sewing surely does add (selfmade) stress since I kinda wanted to wear it at dokomi, which adds a deadline. Something I do not really like with hobbies generally. I want to do hobby-stuff cause and feel like it.
I do have gained an appreciation though for all these people that somehow manage to keep their life together next to a full.time job or being a care-giver to other people.
Long rant I just wanted to trow some unordered thoughts out there.

@ignaloidas @wolf480pl @mikoto Lots of good arguments I can agree on tbh.
Though the argument on size is I think a bit flawed. GPUs will almost always use more die-space than the CPU thats just how they are. Even on the shitty Intel graphics it was and is like that.
I have seen the framework is a small box and GPUs are huge these days, but you can still build small very powerful rigs for the money they asking and will be better still. Also you likely wont be limited on power as much, rather cooling.
It has a somewhat AI-focus as the name suggests. You can have a very big memory Pool for that GPU allowing for loading big, big models. It should do well in its designed workload.
But tbh framework wanzs a lot of money for convienence alone, also with no screen, no battery or keyboard making it a bad deal. for 2300€ you should be normally be able to get quite the decent standard-sized desktop. But I guess like with ITX you pay a hefty premium for size alone. It may br cute but the value is not there for me certainly.

@wolf480pl @ignaloidas @mikoto Also it could be a better gaming rig as well with differently architected memory. Pretty sure AMD will sell you a kit with the APU and RAM already. So thats why its soldered I guess. Kinda weird for framework to have such a device but okay.
But tbh if its a GPU-centric device then why use LPDDR5X (and soldered one at that?). I mean yeah the soldering does give you slight latency advantage but certainly here it is done to save space? Or for better clocks. I mean 8000 seems high. But GDDR will certainly run circles around and be way better for the GPU-portion of the APU. These things bandwidth starved for sure on DDR limiting performance. I don't know if bandwidth is important for other GPU-heavy tasks like rendering, editing and simulation though.
But yeah even the 395 AI Pro Max+ was a TDP of 45-120W. Prett, sure with 120W power envelope you could have done better memory wise even if GDDR used more Power. But thats on AMD not Framework.
It is kinda cool to see a 40-CU APU-Monster though. From the architecture I would not see this as "GPU-First" though. It has a strong 16-Core CPU on it and still uses DDR instead of GDDR. Consoles are more GPU-oriented in that regard.
It just is hella overpriced to be a desktop tbh. Yeah its small and uses less power but thats it. If you want to do serious tasks an AM5-Desktop with an Upcoming AMD-GPU will just be better. That means if power draw is of no concern. Also would game better for less money
