spending money on a decent keyboard, nah dude, let's buy the $1000 piece of aluminum
but apple doesn't make decent keyboards
having any kind of setup for productivity for apple reddit posters (impossible)
therefore i can't have one
Usual pleb: R G B
Me: RGB WHATEVER THEY ARE MY DESK LAMP NOW
smort
Waitaminus is that teardown iPhone the first??????
everyone on reddit just wanna have that minimalist monochrome fake plant bullshit
where u can tell they dont do more than just browse reddit using their $593425234 mac or pc and tiny 60% keyboard
or god forbid they actually do be typing on some magic keyboard bullshit
Me: FOOK IT
My setup is a makeup desk, it's uncomfy af and also messy af
my shit is all fucked up now
my favorite teardown boxes are when they put the battery in there too ๐
and YES that's a first gen
Imo kinda fire hazard just in case 
it's a standing desk
half inch
lol

hit it with a pointy ceramic hammer
don't do that...
Fairy Tail is ok I don't jude the other's taste
so far things I've hit my desk with
- ring-con, 2. guitar headstock
- chair (numerous times)
- head (numerous times)
if I had a glass desk it'd be broken like 50 times over by now
I don't like glass texture tho, not a fan of it
so
to the right you can barely see it
but to the right of my tower I have another desk
that's my old desk. my mom bought it for me in 2002. guess what. It also has a glass top 

yea there's no telling with glass tops. yay. but if that one's lasted me this long, this one will probably be ok
actually you've got an awful lot of glass in close proximity
i can imagine the crime scene now
lol that coffee table is up there too

i can't remember when my mom got it...
when you stub your toe, knee your glass desk which shatters
you tip backwards in your chair into the coffee table
and that's how the police find you
O that's a nice coffee table tho
after 5 days
nah hitting it with the knee wouldn't brewak it
Can see the curved metals 
Frosted glass?
mmhmm the bottom is. and yea the table is adjustable ๐ It was an idea i had >>
i bought a jarvis frame without a top
then had a glass company make the top
be my friend
A lot of time peep asks me why am not sit down
Just bc I sit so long me want stand a bit 
the controller hides under my side monitor
extol the virtues of standing up or sitting down to work
so the worst thing that happens with this desk
he has not left enough slack in the monitor cables
is when the power goes out
the monitor gets pulled off the desk
for some reason I always fucking have my desk up in the standing position
/squat irl 
me: you had this thing for like 5 months and you never moved it you fucking liar
LMAO
yea that happens a lot
when I used to work in the office we had these converter thingies you'd put on top of your desk to have a standing desk
and after a few people got them
everyone wanted one
damn near nobody used them standing up after the first few weeks
i missed out on the initial distribution and someone gave me theirs because it made sitting less comfortable lol
i pretty much left mine in standing mode all the time
I mean, it CAN do it doesn't mean you WILL do it
But the adjustable desk is quite personalized friendly, like sometime I want a lower desk or higher desk depend on my liking
yea i bought my frame when i started working from home lmao
also those ikea cabinets are.. not really my favorite aesthetic >>
they're just so useful
and I don't have anywhere else to put them anyway lol
well I just wish they made a version with closed fronts and normal pull handles
i have one by my desk
the size is fantastic though
supplies, supplies, supplies... liquor
Neon genesis evangelion?
no
amusingly the old desk is pretty much sitting in the same spot now
old chair is near it too....
Your cables confused me 
hahaha
The greatest anime of the late 90s
Playlist of tutorials I used to make this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT3qyRM4PIc&list=PLOeuu5pILB0hPW_J1PmNSmWsuk5qTX92E
My very active and interesting twitter: https://twitter.com/DankGamblor
Oh haven't watch dat
i had to buy a bunch of 10ft-20ft cables
really old setup pic
i wonder if the neon light on that guitar still works
hey speaking of a shitty 90s ctx
yea those were beautiful ;_;
that mac was my pride and joy and then it got stolen
when it was 7 years old ๐ฆ
Stolen 
That's ouch tho
Tho I think the average age of PC recently is....shortened?????
Like anything 5+ years old can be totally fine in running things but could be considered outdated
the funny thing is at 7 years I had a laptop that was about as good, but didn't really have a replacement desktop
it was a one time thing where my mom came into some money and spoiled me by letting me buy a ridiculous computer for the time lol
we had some boom/bust cycles lol
i mean it was never that bad, but still
the replacement was a broken g5 i bought off craigslist for $50 lol
fun times
Many things were quite affordable(??) back in the day tho
no way
It was p wild
Well ofc
A brief history of the company that changed the computing world forever. Includes specifications, a description and pictures of every Apple computer ever made.
Mac price inflated so much just because ApPlE 
tbh the low end model was really affordable
$1699 for a mac tower
it sounds almost ludicrous by apple's standards
I had the dual 800mhz version
Oh that was really decent tho
and imho it was the only way to use Mac OS X at the time
OS X was very bloated until around 10.3 or 10.4 or so
i used it as a server for my website, an irc server, a mud server
... and played quake 3 and rtcw on it 

Holy s Linus loves Fantasia and FF6 am listening the VOD of the latest WAN show
Speaking of gaming, I think nintendo kind of cloud save is kinda dum
And nintendo is dum ._.
I was considered getting a cheapo switch lite but then the hardware-software and saving is just dum
Wait how??
Not LED?
How thicc was dat
about half an inch hahaha ๐
Ya can see the diffuser
so underneath, in the middle was a puck cut into the acrylic about 3" wide
and it had the LEDs in it
yep.
that's exactly what they did
the top was flat and normla, the bottom side they carved out about idk, 3/8" ?
and then put the LEDs in there
it was also powered by USB
That's quite smort
it used the same kinda RGB controller most things at that time did
if youve ever seen an RGB pen
Ya I know that
they all have the same light cycle where you click the button and it switches colors lol
i do appreciate that os x was a good gateway drug to linux
It IS tho
being a nix nerd has worked out for me very well in terms of career stuff lol ๐
The linux is a hella drug
I'm fiddling around the graphic end of the nix tho
Wayland been slightly weird to me (ya me Fedora pleb)
nothing wrong with fedora!
But tbh I want to test PS controller on the new kernel
at my job it's redhat everywhere lol
well
redhat and centos and
other things
almost all the regular computers run windows though
Like I had issue with Ubuntu mostly for some weird jank stuff and delayed audio stuff
Then me be like "f it distro hop lol"
Now me at fedora 
ubuntu is useful in the sense that it usually has the most support for things
for newer hardware*
Odk I kinda be ez sidetracked on windows
On the nix was like, 5s-15s boot
Windows: gib me a moment
Fedora: o btw this is 3 versions of kernel just in case, plus the recovery mode so 4 lmao
I once played with Windows entreprise edition, it's hella efficient tho
(Not as the nix tho)
no?
11 has wsl2, which is... basically docker containers.. but i don't remember how that works
wsl1 was much more interesting
much much
but useless when you get beyond a certain point
Not like they use the nix kernel, but the nix kernel is included for the ease of VM or something??
then win11 confused the f outta my brain
if you';;re using containers like docker
you need to have a linux kernel somewhere
on a linux machine, you just use the linux kernel you already have 
on windows and macos you have to kick off a vm running linux
and then the containers are based off that vm
not sure how wsl2 does it
Ya that ^
what I do know, is host-client disk access on macos docker sucks ass ;_;
but it's been a minute since I last used it
Also windows: ITZ UPDATE TIME BABE
Nix: sudo dnf update
pretty much the only tolerable way to use docker is on a linux host lol
still, wsl1 was neat tech
It is ya
Kinda regret that not much graphic end well dev'ed on nix (yet)
Xorg is outdated, Wayland support is.....well, at least it's coming and still trying
Nvidia on wayland is ouch
Although it's fps gain at least on xiv (and games overall) to me
that part just gets too political XD
wayland and xorg and then the window managers all have different opinions and they all kinda fight each other
last time I used xfce I found that I could never get firefox scrolling to not tear ><
no matter what I did ><
also multi-display support is... iffy at times
i mean it always works
but whether it remembers your screen layout? HEH
OH LOL ya
At least wayland been fine in fedora gnome for now, the multimonitor setup still quite jank but usable
At least on AMD tho 
Must troubleshoot my old motherboard then do some more stuff to test further
mine is still 1660 but hey, good enough for now
my plan is 3060(ti) just because no adapter shenanigan and tbh I don't need too much powerhorse
except Unreal Engine, ya dat stuff need some decent spec
isn't WSL2 where it runs as if it wasn't in a VM?
A traditional VM experience can be slow to boot up, is isolated, consumes a lot of resources, and requires your time to manage it. WSL 2 does not have these attributes.
WSL 2 provides the benefits of WSL 1, including seamless integration between Windows and Linux, fast boot times, a small resource footprint, and requires no VM configuration or management. While WSL 2 does use a VM, it is managed and run behind the scenes, leaving you with the same user experience as WSL 1.```

I think it's like calling Wine an Emulator
that it is what it is trying to say
Linux binaries use system calls to perform functions such as accessing files, requesting memory, creating processes, and more. Whereas WSL 1 used a translation layer that was built by the WSL team, WSL 2 includes its own Linux kernel with full system call compatibility. Benefits include
or not?
Wine = wine is not emulator 
Tbh I'm not entirely sure about that tho
That's correct.
So is it an emulator or not??
Tho
Usually if as an emu, the result should not be as good as the og system if running with the same spec
And considering proton is a cutom wine config shenanigan stuff
The hecc I got fps gain in Elden Ring on proton???????????
Proton is a special exception, no matter what.
They're doing some super slick shader hacks to massively change how games render and get them cross platformed.
There is also the question of "What is an emulator"
I've got a MIsTeR upstrairs that I use to emulate the chips that made up the processors of older gaming consoles.
So is it an emulator? Technically?
That's also the case of wine shipped with lutris
Got some fps measurement, weird thing is both wine, proton render game on par or even better/stable fps than windows
My brain = ???????????
So yes, is it an emulator? Technically?
Sort of? It's the weird part.
To the software, it's running on acutal hardware.
The hardware is emulated tho.
But it's emulated... in hardware?
Emulate or simulate!
I agree on it being emulation
But also, something like a minigen is still basically a genesis emulator
Emulate, it's a FPGA.
Mister's core is a FPGA so it's auctually loading hardware descriptors and that jazz.
Even if the software runs on the soc native
Yeah, this doesn't have a SOC.
:P
We get auctual direct serial to the core, like it was back in the day so you can have OG controllers with no slowdowns.
Ah, K.
And I think they're pretty cool
It's obscure AF to most people.
Since I studied computer engineering, I worked with verilog on fpgas in college
Haven't touched it at work
Ahhh.
Haha maybe I should refresh myself os I can contribute
We're really shorthanded
Might not be bad, FPGAs are wild these days.
Lots of fun SOC's. Expressif is doing a new ESP32 too that looks slick AF.
Or the new one
Oh the biggg ones.
Yeah US+ is fun.
They're great for crypto mining.
All the hardware you could want with great clocks.
When you work with the dudes who write the bitstreams you get to play with some fun gear.
Also, reverse enginerring xilinx things is hilarious to watch.

AMD's new Ryzen 5 CPU is a 7600 non-X, which is cheaper than the 7600X, lower power, and basically has Eco Mode pre-applied. It gets most the performance of the 7600X, but for a lower cost. The closest competition is AMD's own 7600X, then Intel's 12600K, and on the higher side, th...
$230 CPUs are back, as if this is aspirational lmao
I remember when I bought my barton CPU and it was like $198
equivalent CPU in 2023 would be more like $750
what a rip-off

Hey guys, I have tried using a XBOX controller for PC games, I really like it. Got a small problem tho, I have small hands so holding down the LT and RT of my controller is super exhausting. Are there different kinds of controller or controller that got easy/ super light trigger? Complete controller noob here, any guidance is appreciated
I use 8bitdo controller
Dis smol boi
There is the Pro2 which is more akin to PS controller but the triggers are p light
There is xbox compatible version but idk about able to connect to PC should be able tho
And yes it's wireless (bluetooth) if you like some wireless stuff, USB-C interface
Ehhhh just the buttons are tactile snappy kinda SNES feel somewhat, the pro2 I tried at my pal's place feels good tho
Oh thanks a lot, ima check these out. Super cute controller!
Iirc SNES buttons were very light, my only concern would be the fewer amount of shoulder buttons, need all the buttons 
Ah I have only SNES shape, still have both the bumps/buttons and triggers
Ya imo p light
Ya smol boi
two buttons per side, unlike an actual SNES pad that only had L and R
They have the SNES clone one lel
ik, just pointing this out due to owl's concern
But pro2 has replaceable battery like xbone controller
oh wowi, is the controller light? my XBOX one feels like a tank ( I would not mind cable)
114g according to the 8bitdo site
^
less than half an xbox 1 pad
8BitDo Pro 2. More Pro.
Play like a Pro with 8BitDo's mo
Also yes shoulder buttons just in case pro2 only
ohh thats nice, why are XBOX controller so heavy? Vibration rotors?
I think so....?
Like wat 3d rumble idk
8BitDo is a premier 3rd party video game hardware company with a special focus on retro themed game controllers. Renowned for producing the highest quality retro controllers on the market, 8BitDoโs controller line has been referred to as, โa range of excellent retro-style game controllersโ by The Verge.
Just in case you want the xbox layout, the new one has xbox layout btw
I am new in the controller game, I don't think I would mind learning a new layout
No worry, mostly pick your fave physical layout
The game still map the controller connected as xbox regardless physical layout
My small and ring finger are actually hurting >. <
Ah okay great, mapping them will be easy then
CNY?
Chinese New Year
Hol up lemme check lunar calendar
Ok from Jan 20 to Jan 26 is CNY
22th is the 1st day of the new lunar year
Many chinese brands will have sale but also suspend sale/late ship to after the first day a wee bit
how2 hunt sale 101 lmao
8bitdo have an official aliexpress store which might be worth looking at depending on your location
O ye aliexpress front may have limited edition depend on the year
limited skin tho, the controller be the same lel
Ah I see. I'ma check out some reviews just to figure which controller got the most laziest shoulder buttons.
I don't mind paying full price and standard model. If push comes to shove I just paint it myself :3
Tfw 8bitdo is also quite user repairable friendly
They do sell parts
Just in case something gon wrong or br0ke you can just order parts
Thats really great. Never heard of them before (EU), I should've done more research. Xbox stuff feels just exhausting, heavy and is expensive.
Just in case you couch coop with your fren
Can pair to Switch
Can pair to PC
Can pair to android
And also yes linux
Oh nice, checking out some video reviews to figure which one is for me. yours looks kinda cute/ easy to handle
how are the RT LT on them?
Really nice
It's like pressing a dpad, yes that light, barely force at all
The bumps may accidently press but kinda no issue to me, but then smol boi smol bumps, bigger like pro2 or pro2 xbox is standard size bump
oh thats great, the least resistance, the better for me. I tend to deathgrip if I have to hold the shoulders against resistance, poor fingers.
I miniature paint, so im okay with hair trigger stuff
Thats the important part. I for sure will try on of them, just gonna figure out which one. off to YT! thanks 
Man I'm so happy I got my 12700k + mobo for 300
like everything is outrageously priced lol
Just checked, my Xbox controller is triple the weight + (alot) longer trigger travel distance and spring triggers . _. I think I give the wired 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro a try, the wired one is just 25 bucks.
I have the 8bitdo SN30+ (Now called the Pro2) and it works nice for Switch, PC and Android. Think it works on Mac too. https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Bluetooth-Controller-Switch-Android-Raspberry/dp/B08XY8H9D5
Depending on if you want the grips or not. The triggers on this are a little further down than the one speedlolita showed though
If you live near Best Buy or Target, I think they have them in stock sometimes. You might be able to ask them to get a hands-on before buying
Took this one
Oh right and keep in mind that is wired only whereas the other is wireless
^
actually the other one I wired with USB-C
bc my win10 machine doesn't have built-in bluetooth
Yea, took the wired on purpose, no battery hassle + no in build blietooth. Didn't want the the handles either, easier to reach across
Ah nice, well hope it works well for you then. 8bitdo IMHO is the highest quality of the 3rd party controller makers. Maybe only eclipsed now by GuliKit because of their Hall-sense analog sticks https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-Joysticks-Vibration-Shooting-USB-C/dp/B0878QMPKH
Compability: Compatible with Switch,Windows and Android. Support NFC to connect Amiibo on Switch Special Features: Hall sensing ZR,ZL buttons, highly accurate, contactless and perfect game feeling. Same XBOX ONE ALPS sticks, special steel ring. Support semi-auto and auto repeated shooting. Specia...
I haven't try GuliKit but heard their joystick gyro is really gud
8bitdo feel is more of tactile feel tho
Dont need no deadzone stuff, I'll play final fantasy 14 and retro stuff on that controller 
Poor Alps getting their name dragged thru the mud bc console makers use their cheaper analog
and still expensib as hecc
The cheaper Alps gyro uses metal foil on plastic housing. They make a better one that's all metal housing: That's the one used in the Steam Deck
at least steam deck is pretty user repairable friendly and peep modded tf outta it 
I believe Gulikit is making conversions for some controllers, but it's hard bc the voltages are diff for the Hall-sense vs the Alps
I rly like the old clicky SNES feel : ) excited to try the controller
OOOOOO you'll like it 
on PC: you only need the firmware update software, no need driver at all
oh Nice. Only have to get an Oldscool Final Fantasy UI mod, a retro TV shader in G shade and I can relive the good ol days
Unless you have some weird problems with it, I doubt you even need to bother with the firmware updates. And since they're getting the wired one I don't even know what they would need to update.
Usually the firmware updates are to tweak the bluetooth or battery/charging on the wireless ones
Speaking of which, I should see if there are updates for my SN30+ bc it still has some troubles syncing with the Switch via BT
it's actually ones of the default UI
this
Dope controller.
I have uhhh
That's a lot
kinda remind me of Denmo 
this one

PS3, 4, 5. Then 360, XBone, and Switch Pro?
Not making one in Zapf Dingbats? smh

Did they even make any changes between the Xbone and SeXy one?
@potent arrow build me a comic sans keyboard
I bet there are tons of comic sans keycaps available actually
they did, pretty subtle though
I whatโs your favorite?
Gamepad ffxiv sooooooo much fun
mouse + kb 
Pad
ds4 is pretty good, lightweight and comfortable
on pc i primarily use the xbox one pad tho
Right
I use m+k for melee weapons on monhunt, pad for range weapons 
also pad for demonsoulsbornesekiroring-ish stuff, and xiv 
Which you would think it would be the opposite, but I also find that M/kb for ranged just ends up janky on PC and not worth it
I just use controller for both though even on PC
I sank like 300 hours in MHWI in one spring
And a lot of doot with m+k
Imo the control on controller for monhunt and DS are more polished compared to m+k
Which makes sense bc the game was designed for controller. So they didn't really put much effort into it
Theoretically aiming is easier with mouselook, but when you add in having to juggle the radial and item bars it's just easier on controller. At least with the existing KBM controls as they are
And honestly the control scheme for World blew my mind when I first played it. Access to so many different things at "the touch of a button" compared to what I'm used to for console UX
Tho considering World be their first attempt porting to PC, it was ok
If you dedicate to using controller, the PC port is quite good. Good framerates and very stable
Capcom before MHW: we well port this one on PC and prove that PC sale will flop for sure
Capcom after MHW: FUCC ALL MONHUN NOW MUST HAVE PORT TO PC WE RICH LOL
And via Steam overlay you can even use push to talk on controller
Actually recently it's better tho
They use(d) Denuvo anticheat........
Funni thing is
MHW PC saved Capcom from being bought by Sony
I played on PC with PS4 controller and in Steam I bound the bottom-left center button to my PTT button
So I didn't have to be one of those mouthbreathers with an open mic

AMD's new Ryzen 7 7700 is a cheaper, lower TDP version of the 7700X. The new CPU competes most directly with the R5 7600 -- which is a price class lower and manages to gather most of the (gaming) performance -- and the i5-13600K, which often outpaces it in production and gaming, o...

Someone ping me when the update is available for download
it should be up in 3 hours but not sure on that (guestimate size: 700 mb)
Would you put your PC above your monitor? like add a wall shelf and put it on it?
I wouldn't unless space was an issue
also why my 2nd monitor is locked to 60 hz when it can have 75? ._. cable problem? It's using hdmi to hdmi cable + hdmi to DP converter
just increase the risk of falling yeah?
It's not heavy, I just weighed it, like 9.5 kilo, but a certain setup would need to be calculated
Probably just need to set refresh rate in windows
yeah I tried that, still locked to 60 hz
This
why the monitor 1 only have 60hz option though ๐ฅฒ
does the cable make any difference?
It's likely if it's the only difference between them
hmm just because I'm using an adapter, it's locked to 60 hz???
planning to put it on a shelf like this
hmm nevermind, it's scary if it fell ๐ฅฒ
WHICH SITE IS DAT
Boba is always sold out in muh place aaaaaa
Oh aliexp
O SHIET FORGO
Just expect your switches may be late ship a wee bit, CNY is in the corner
Naisuuuu
Idk should I get the 8bitdo limited new year edition
But then still want the sennheiser 580x one but then Drop shipping to muh place is expensib af
now i kinda want the 8bitdo advantage
Button mapping
Map buttons anyway you like and create custom profiles
Ya 8bitdo is p retro ish
I think HORI or some custom fighting sticks are better??
But then the SN30pro my beloved 
i know the build quality is probably not the best
and bluetooth means the lag is more than zero
but it's a fucking advantage
8bitdo I consider to be the top of the heap for 3rd party controllers other than GuliKit now
Good build quality, have the lithium battery when a lot of others require AA batteries
Tbh am happy with 8bitdo
No ridiculus strong resist triggers
Tactile (well the left dpad of the SNES versions is a bit stiff tho)
Snap snap snap snap barely ghost 
Also
USER REPAIRABLE
Me not want just yeet the pad if something br0ke, me love fix stuff
Imo the Pro2 and later versions are not as stiff as SNES versions
I have an SN30+ which I guess is 2 revisions before the current Pro2
Ah, I bought mine just before pro2 released
But then was skeptical in size of pro2 bc babyhands

I don't know where talking trees are

CATTO SUPREMACY 
I read that recent Jalopnik article about the guy that got invited to look at the EVs there and how creepy the entire thing was bc Vingroup owns half the country
Year of the catgirl
And when he would try to deviate from their prepared route the handlers would follow them and "firmly suggest they get back to the tour" etc.

It doesn't prompt me to do anything
It just says 'Invalid billing address'
๐คทโโ๏ธ is there any other way they format those addresses? try to change it up a bit
Or contact support I guess
Ya no joke they're everywhere
Although they're kinda restricted by the gov and even vin employees are pretty stressed out w the stuff
oo is that VN-made EV? looks nice
As a vietnamese
If you want something like reaaaaal quality, be skeptical to Vin products
Can't you just add PayPal to your Google play account
assembled in VN, chinese parts
Not much peep know that
yeah the same, AU has a similiar idea, but uglier design ๐ฅฒ
I mean it does make sense in profit sense but quality, uh nawn
pretty sure car like Tesla/other EV brand also will have Chinese Parts, you can't avoid them nowadays
The thing is they boasted of made in VN while the req criteria for that is.......not there
Like even native peep laughed the idea of bringing it to EU and US tho
But hey the food is nice 
ah right you have things like KR where North and South fight each other
Used to
Older peep still hold the grudge, younger peep not much
Then again our history of the last century be the pawn of both sides while the sole desire of just be liberated and be whole lmao StB stuff
ngl that happens with a lot of "Made in USA" products as well. They assemble the last 1% in-country and can market it as Made in USA
There is req for Made in Canada tho
I follow LTT and his prog for the screwdriver is pretty nutz, as how many % of the parts are actually made in Canada and assembled in Canada

granted you can use either or but yeah
except for being only UHD at best
kinda interesting deal
My condolences, that sounds awful.
the z7 is more like an a7riii
For doing what? Video?
which I find interesting
Prob for color calibrating or heavy color work ya
damn xD
the thing that confuses me with canon is their number convention is all weird
r6 > r7 > r10
That's quite diff there
-rolls eyes-
canon naming is stupid
yep
the z7ii replaces the z7 lol
it's like how the a7iv is a lot better than an a7iii but also $1k more when the a7iii goes on sale
ya fuck that
and if you think the a7s is expensive
you should see what the video cams cost 
the fx3, fx6
holy shit
lol
tbh
THIS MAY BE TRUE
I don't know enough about those to provide my own opinion really.
but those side brands can give you real diamonds in the rough sometimes
if you dig around enough
since they aren't natural choice brands
they tend to experiment with bargain models a bit more lol
My gut tells me their advice to get the A7C is bc it's full frame but under $2k and you can get some good glass for it instead of spending $3-5k on a regular full frame then buying shitty glass
olympus sometimes had some sick sales
my gut tells me the sony alphas are a ripoff because of name value, and sony knows it
like atm
canon == boomer camera
sony == millennial camera
olympus, fuji, nikon = other brands nobody pays attention to
My peer is using so much sony recently my god
Sony must be doing something right bc around 2010 they were laughed at in the pro circles and ppl only had eyes for Canon and Nikon
Imo fuji is neato
Olym is quite banger
i
i'm not sure what happened to nikon
how'd they fall from grace like that? lol
i don't think fuji or olympus was ever that popular
oh and then there's the true boomer cam
Sony was the first one to debut mirrorless and I think the entire DSLR market is kinda going that way yeah?
LEICA
They're not in term of popular
Leica I always hear for their film cameras. Do they make DSLR?
leica is the kinda brand where you don't pay MSRP, you make an appointment to audition it or whatever lol
wait nvm
they do have msrp ๐
Seems so
I have 2 mirrorless ones, it's ok
they're basically the gucci of mirrorless cams
oh i forgot
panasonic
panasonic and olympus are the micro 4/3 powerhouses xD
That's huge dip tf
That also sounds like their supply chain may have just been totally hammered by covid
Lol
Wait which other biz Canon also use lens/glass?
Like ya sure photograph is a thing
another thing about sony
Man
yea
sony makes the actual camera sensor pretty muhc everyone uses hahaha
but that doesn't mean much dude
consider this
samsung makes a lot of screens but they have a bad rep for monitors
Lemme ask my dad about the more niche side of glass
Optical peep may know more niche stuff
ice, you yourself were unhappy with your samsung, right? XD
SAMSUNG MONITOR SUCC
But their stylus companible monitor is banger tho, it's Wacom EMP technology
Wacom = Apple of graphic tablet stuff
They were kinda the only game in town until tablets ate their lunch
You can
Note phone line, Tab S line
right
didn' know they made a desktop screen that way too
also at this point
isn't the ipad pro the apple of graphic tablets? 
Professionals still use Cintiqs, but anyone just interested in practicing is better off just using a 12" tablet
It's interesting bc you need a layer of electromagnet under the screen
But you'll get a thing called parallax, which is the gap between the glass and the pen to actual cursor
Eliminate the parallax is a huge headache btw
Ya camera biz is ouch
ice i think what you're getting at here, is your budget is for a last gen flagship
but you want a current gen flagship
also: AFAIK a few new cameras were coming out at CES
also: camera generations are a lot slower than phone/computer generations
Yes and no. I got my a65 in 2013 and 10 years on it feels like there's been at least 4 updates to that
Not sure about the whole HDR and stuff tho
Is current gen cam can render HDR stuff?
Like in PC side things are fast
But you still need input bruh
ice can you budget an a7iv?
Not much 8k able cam now right?
teehee
oh
then why are we having this debate lol
get your a7iv :p
mmm
-looks at the panasonic s5 again-
one thing i dig about the s5 is you can plug ssds into it
but it's got a built in fan lmao
ooo
and there's an s5ii for $1999
hmmmm
I could stomach 2k
i wonder what a competent lens would cost for that though
Lol
yea but the s5 has a fucking fan so it won't ๐
Custom watercool when
ohh i'm not sure the s5 i has a fan
just the s5ii? but for $200 more sure why not
-SIGH-
i hope this doesn't lead to dusty lenses
no its just canon being old
30min limit was because stills cameras and vid cameras were classed differently
bruh just get a red bruh
v
though, one can't just use a red body
tactical camera deserves tactical accessories
i wonder if it comes with a free pair of oakleys
ahahaha
yea but somehow I still like it better than the sprinter & transit
though i'm sure those are safer by virtue of being a much newer design..

I'm crying
I love these
if BMW really wanted to make money they'd force the car to maintain a reasonable distance and charge owners $500 a month to bypass it and tailgate people
I havenโt paid in years
hahahahhahahahaha
Thats how you get flail chest
How dumb can you be
Or you hit, i think, Ctrl, alt, shift and B
To quick enable HDR
Or use the gamebar to quickly get into HDR settings
Gotta do it before you launch the game tho
What's double weird is that a while back you could just enable HDR without that, if the game was in Fullscreen mode
But instead of fixing the bugs they just disabled it it seems
broke: everything in my house is smart
woke: everything in my house is isolated from the internet so people can't watch me taking a shit on a never-updated webcam from 2018
i have a webcam but it stays unplugged 
same same
the mic too
email is also very unsafe, i get promo adds for organizations i only talk to via email
I mean I own a mic but it is currently sat in it's box because I never use it

I get some weird ransom email occasionally
sorry in specific ....gmail
I mean, did you really expect google not to scrape your email for advertising to you? :P
google can eat shit
my Gmail is fairly clean
You should see my hotmail

20 results on haveibeenpwned lmao
i was aware they were doing that even without being told but recently they have become a priority to get rid of
He fully planned to cut across all 4-5 lanes into the main highway. How fucked up were they taking a semi hit in the drivers door
probably not very, likely drunk or high 
In the comments they say it was a 52yo lady that "wasn't paying attention and failed to signal"
Like any amount of signaling makes it okay to go onto the main highway from there
honestly, if the truck wasn't there nobody would have noticed lmao
the fact she just decided to get off her phone and floor it is the real issue
Jesus was looking at his phone and forgot to take the wheel for her

wonder how elon will spin this as SF being bitter towards him
the bridges all lean to the left, that's why this happened
this is also a bunch of fools not paying attention
Ugh I hate my work pcs
Tried logging out from the remote desktop but its stuck loading trying to log out.
Weak ass desktop
deskbottom
oh my
Windows server 2012
Honestly I blame my boss
She never logs out when done with her work from home so this stuff happens
oh yeah if the car was stopping cant u just immediately override it
i thought you just had to be sat in the driver seat
or there be a sufficient weight sat on that seat
IIRC amazon was selling defeat devices for this for the longest time.
Highway surveillance footage from Thanksgiving Day shows a Tesla Model S vehicle changing lanes and then abruptly braking in the far-left lane of the San Francisco Bay Bridge
so basically a typical day
it's just doing what tesla drivers already do naturally ๐
It looks for capacitance on the steering wheel, but yeah it's easy to cheat it if you want to
It's because it was in the tunnel then the cameras were pointed at the tunnel wall, so it thought it was going to run into it and braked heavily
oh man
i wonder if it was something about the sudden bright->dark right before the stoppage
because the cars that ran into it
... shouldn't have ran into it
geez like 5 cars in
bam
I've actually seen this a bit with my adaptive cruise where if someone is changing lanes out of my lane or to an offramp, the radar latches onto them still and starts braking a bunch
Not slamming on brakes but like firmly depressing the brake
how the hell did people just pile up
Bc everyone is similarly using adaptive cruise probably and staring at their phone and eating 
my jeep's collision avoidance thing will slam the brakes at the verge of the tires slipping
my bimbo brakes just aint powerful enough
Watching the video, basically a lot of inattentive driving is how
The black SUV should have already seen the Tesla was turning into the lane slowly and been braking, but they didn't react until the last moment
The car behind the black one stopped in time, but then the white truck behind that wasn't looking and fishtailed and fucked everyone else behind him by suddenly changing lanes and cutting off the next person in that lane
LOL the last car in the accident the black one basically didn't brake at all
I've actually been where that accident spot is I think. Looks to be the exit ramp to Treasure Island
Yeah Yerba/Treasure Island exit
Which is even more negligent by all those drivers bc with that immediate left-hand exit that is a U, you need to heavily brake to exit there. So all those drivers should have already been ready to slow down
yea I've driven that plenty of times
and ridden it as a passenger many many many times
which is why I'm sitting here puzzled that so many people crashed there
it's not a place where you do 70,80mph under any circumstance
Also the speed limit is supposed to be 50mph there and clearly they were hauling ass
The report states that the Tesla Model S was traveling at about 55 mph and shifted into the far left-hand lane, but then braked abruptly, slowing the car to about 20 mph.
yea I hate to say it
ngl I took that exit bc I missed my exit for the baseball stadium and it's sketchy af
Only like 2 of the ppl in that accident were actually paying attn to slow down
The rest just kinda barreled into it
Also doesn't surprise me at all. Majority of drivers are unsafe af in their 2ton missiles
but people hate it when you slow down in a traffic lane, which is ludicrous ๐ฆ
every now and then when I slow down to pull off to get into my driveway
oh yeah.. missiles.. i got my amraam shirt and its very nice
I'll have someone ride my ass and lay on their horn
Gotta drift my man
it's especially bad because
need more waifu missile shirts
sometimes people park on both sides of my driveway
so there's literally no room for me to pull off
i wonder how often people walking/biking get hit by cars pulling into driveways/parking lots at the speed limit because of that
IMHO as much as I don't personally want to give up the freedom, they need to just mesh network cars on auto when they get that figured out
set a route or press a button to request offramp exit and let the cars sort it out themselves. probably eliminate a lot of rush hour traffic too
Bc the cars would properly zipper merge and not be dipshits
the comments are interesting
seems the pure-camera system sucks compared to their older camera+radar system
ya know the part that kills me about the way they architect that system is it should always fall back on 'keep it simple stupid'
i think, in a way, using machine learning + pure optics to make all the decisions with no auditing flies in the face of that.
i also wonder
if the tesla system is dumb enough to be confused by a wile e coyote wall painting
yeah, confirmed to be vastly inferior, but it's also much cheaper so....
lidar modules are also cheap now but elon convinced himself that he can do just as well as lidar+cdaf with cdaf alone
Sounds like the driver didnt acknowledge the request to touch the wheel and the Tesla went into an emergency pull over.
i don't think so
In that case, the Tesla needs to recognize when an area is unsafe to do so and NOT just stop in the middle of a highway...
iirc that kinda pull over isn't that abrupt, plus there's nowhere to do said pull over
bog standard california driving behavior, to be honest
You have no luck huh
Means their system already has that card on file
Maybe you have to delete the old one to add that one? Or maybe you can just update the existing one with the new expiration date?
I'm going to shoot somebody because that card is new from last year and the only other card Discord is showing me isn't that card
I don't pay for Nitro bc I think Discord are dipshits so I can't help you more than that ๐คทโโ๏ธ
usually when I see that, the driver has plates from oregon 
it's usually tourists using waze >>
Well there goes my Nitro
I can't use my card's actual billing address because Discord keeps calling it invalid and I can't use my PO box as a billing address because it's a 'duplicate payment source'
you'll survive
to the island
I got stuck on the bridge bc the parking lots are the turn before and if you go 1 street too far you're then committed to the bridge for like 5 miles 
Yes that's where I was going was to see the Brewers play at the Giants
That brick wall for right field is jank how it robs homeruns and doubles heh
I had to go to my Billing tab and save my card info again in order for it to work
wtf
This looks so wrong 
i don't think that's real
it appears to be real
it's called 'mutalk'
$200
that's so awful lol

it's a muzzle then
it's one of those feeder bags you put on horses
