https://youtu.be/XxYxAl1eUG4?si=FfjAs8JZ0xkhEgW9 Italdesign is genuinely one of the best design houses there has ever been or ever will be
2nd channel @OnlyDinoDC
Dropped by Italdesign in Torino to check out their recently opened gallery and indulge in some of the amazing cars that Giorgetto Giuigiaro designed in his time as well as rare concepts that were so groundbraking in the long history the deign firm has.
Andrea Porta, their business development manager, even pulled out t...
not even just for car stuff
everything they do is so interesting
sorry for asking a lot
but what do you guys think of Cepter Atilius 38" UWQHD+, i am aiming to get this, but i want to know from you guys who know a lot about monitors
ive never heard of that brand before
Neither have I, and that looks like a very non-standard res
its a scandinavian company
Interesting
24:10, in this day and age? wow
that screen format is very unique so to say
I am unsure if you'll see support for it in games
24:10 is...
almost never seen
no mention who they got their panels from
what ya mean rob
Every major player on the monitor market sources their panels from somewhere, usually Samsung, LG, etc.
thats weird, im checking the manual
maybe i took the wrong monitor, give me a sec
no its the same
maybe they forgot to update they site

maybe this is better
where can i see that
oh is it ips and va thing?
no thats just the panel type, but not who made it
they dont say it on their website and nobody really talks about this screen at all, so its gonna be hard to find out
yea in my case id rather buy something that others had a lot of positive experiences with that I can actually read and see about, I tend to keep away from no-name obscure brands
unless I am on a strict budget

how much is it anyway
400
but i can pay monthlyfor 6 months without any extra cost
I have not kept up with the ultrawide market for some time but I know several websites I can search for you to point you in the right direction
400euro ultrawide....?
yea, stay away lol
That sounds too good to be true
are you dead set on getting an ultrawide?
tbf if you have to payment plan for a monitor it means you can't afford it
that budget isn't enough for a solid ultrawide
yea it isnt
i can afford it fully
but i will be low on money this month and i already upgraded my pc with ryzen 7, new motherboard, ram and cooling tower
Ice soup

all the good uwide are like 600 to 900bux
i can give you the site where im getting my monitors from, it will be on danish tho
they have a store, so i can go there
are you not happy with your current monitor? is it rly that bad
400$ is enough to get a good non-ultrawide display thats not oled
yes
so
i had a acer montior that can go up too 165hz
it work pretty well for 3 years until this
sorry im finding the photo
are you willing to get a non-ultrawide?
you can stay non-uwide life too it doesn't rly add much and btw a lot of your games will have weird quirks you have to figure out workarounds for sometimes, becuz of lack of support or opens weird
this only happned when the room is getting cold
or lower than 25c
I would know because I have two
or when the game im playing is dark
have you tried swapping the displayport cable for another one?
try it
its the monitor
oh guess it's dying
i swich monitor with my old one and it didn't have a problem
or power influx caused cap to start to blow
when back to the new and then the line come
anything under the line is still or 4 frames
“But I need my Yoshi-P approved zoomhack! I can’t do TOP without it!”
now im b ack to my 60 hz i had for 7 years
i let my little bro have it until he get a better pc when hes older
im using it rn
it feel so weird going back to 60
but are you willing to get sth thats not an ultrawide
lol the sports oxygen on the left for after gamer nap
sth?
something
i want to give ultra a try, all my friends have it and they saying its pretty good
it is p good
i can nhadala
at least when I play trails suddenly it's so expansive
you can't get a good ultrawide with 400 bucks
ya maybe you should save a few hundred first
no rush
your friends are causing you fomo
you are not missing out I promise, it's just Other Monitor Style that doesn't necessarily super wow you all the time
I only did it because I'm a fken asshole
in the beginning I had used some weird ass program just to make custom resolutions for certain games too, shit got rly weird
144hz is fine
no i mean the monitor im using is 60
it can't go any higher
its a very old monitor
it does it job
but it so weird going from 144 which i had for years, to back to 60
Gigabyte M27QA
just get the Gigabyte M27QA , solid budget display
this thing?
just make sure the name of the display on the store is
Gigabyte M27QA
idk how much it costs in the EU but it should be cheap
on german sites the Gigabyte M27QA is like 250euro
1800kr
and if im not mistaking, 1 dollar is 7kr
so it would be 250 i think
ay
just copy paste the link from your address bar to here
also i can buy Samsung Odyssey G9 G91F 49" Dual QHD and still pay it monthly
but that is super over kill and i don't have a desktop that can handle it

Samsung consumer products kinda ass anyway
i can actually
i will just barely have money by the end of it
Ask us how we know
I recommend you beg your gf/bf for a birthday present
get the budget gigabyte display and ull come out happier by the end
so large
im not gonna get it, its too much, too big, too wide, not enough desktop space
with a lot less money spent
if ur gonna spend 1k on a display might as well get some OLED one
i know, im screwing with ya
im not gonna get it
naruhodo
I've since learned I was happier buying a literal 24k gold ring or two than spend the same money on a monitor that just depreciates 

ive had my old asus TN for 10 years before I replaced it
Okay but do you have a 24 karat gold Labub-
and it still worked fine lol
I don't like labubu that much!
Yeah fuck Labubus
even oled displays have been cheaper these days
you can find one for 500-600$
but I do not trust that I won't get burnin so I am not getting one lol
my samsung odyssey g7 has been working perfectly fine so far
man for uwide money I could've bought an expensive dog too
Buy a Corgi
g9 is the bigger ultrawide line
Gormless creatures
are corgi pricy????
Depends
I know the pomapoo is
but I do not recommend samsung displays cause of the QC issues
apparently the one I bought that works fine is some unicorn from outer space
QC issues?
quality control
what monitors company should i look after
yea then you scroll down to the worst reviews to see what happened
also the middle reviews to see some honesty
tbh the g7 I bought is one of the best LCDs on the market when it works
deep blacks with no ghosting or black smearing
very low response times
im glad I bought it
Other companies use the same panel anyway without QC issues now
There’s more options
When I bought my monitor the only thing I could afford was the dell s2721dgf or gigabyte m27q there was basically nothing else good lol
All of the above except Samsung and asus would be fine
what happened to all the mineral nerds
again, when it come to monitor
Im as braindead as they come
i ate them
i like rocks
yumyum
we have the new red

Bc it’s super cheap now
blehhh
U can buy printers for next to nothing now so it’s easy to get into
I just want somebody to come to my house and gaze at my huge boulder
mfw the Navajo friend named it so now it's unchangeable
these are the only one they sell
they pretty high up
they dont have the M27QA?
oh we do
but you gotta order it
thats bad?
Better than nothing imo
nope
but i rather see it in front of me than to order it
I have alternatives
but the QA is the best
even if u cant see it
on a budget at least
if you can, order it, but if u really do not want to
I can mention alternatives
just let me know
do you want alternatives?
of course
the reason im going for a little bit higher price is than in order to get the monthly payment i have to buy something of 4k kr in total, which is around 550$
i can get a nord vpn and f secure for a year along side it, which is pretty dope
i can add things next to it to get the price up

i am indeed a fart smeller
or smart fella, idk
AOC Q27G3XMN
is the alternative
but get the Gigabyte if you can

I wish I can get a set up for it. I got a lot of miniature ideas I want to print
this brings back memories

I did NOT wanna make this video but here we are. This is the Chaplet Halikan LA-30A, or pieces of it anyway! A fascinating 1980s machine, one of the first laptops combining a backlit display, hard drive, and ISA slots into a system that could run entirely on batteries. Neat!
Unfortunately, while this rare beast was in good shape before shipping...
oh nooo
i wonder if the power brick was what did it
that oldschool power supply weighs like 5lbs on its own
brittle plastic 😦
he could snap the plastic like a dorito, i doubt there's much else that could've been done to prevent that
That happened to my old Xbox 360
I didn’t use a lot of force and it fell apart easily
it kinda reminds me of what my 486 thinkpad was made out of lmao
it looks like the hardware at least should still work ok
since it still has a metal chassis
"it's a working computer"
she aint pretty but she's got it where it counts
85
if you already had issues with the pc shutting down
and now its more frequent
then you know what the issue is

I mean
88c hot damn
But is it likely my cpu more than gpu?
Welp not even a min in my pc shutted down again
if ur gpu is hitting 88 on the title screen already then yeah its probably that lol
shit is California wildfire in there
at this point you're better off taking a tower fan, pointing it straight to the inside of your tower and turning it on
(I am half joking)
yes, get a new gpuuuuu
Not rn tbh
Actually no
The back fan is already not working i think
if u dont get a new gpu you're risking your pc running a gpu with no fans
no working fans
a ticking time bomb
Well we are planning to tbh
If you keep running components without cooling windows turning itself off will eventually not be fast enough to save them
how does win11 keep getting worse i dont understand
since the last update i have a new bug where sometimes my game launches in the background but my mouse is locked to my main screen as if its restricted by the game window, so i have to doubletab the windows key twice to make windows remember that the game window is not actually in the foreground 
and i keep getting the USB disconnect sound whenever i tab into a game now
thats' react native for ya
nvm that's the task bar

Very good video
Aging Wheels best car tuber
Cause brain damage and collects terrible terrible terrible terrible cars
Also it’s kinda crazy how shit gasoline is as a fuel
Even the less efficient EV’s are still much better than 99% of cars in the energy use department
ok cool and you didnt read the server rules about advertising

@rough relic has been banned by dihn for the following reason:
No selling here.
Yo rob
damn a situation so bad that even sarah is begging to put the pc part out of its misery
the person with the PAST SQUIRTING PC is asking, begging, pleading
thats fun, gpu blowing full blast
then peak crashed so hard that my screen went black
I remember getting a 3080 and after a week of usage it died
On the plus side, I got a 3090 with that refund. And cheaper
well i cant change jus yet
why exactly is my ffxiv opening in fullscreen
Did you set it to fullscreen
no
pretty sure it's been windowed the whole time so I don't get why each time I launch it's in fullscreen
Okay then do you have anything forcing it to fullscreen like Borderless Gaming
no?
Alright then
specifically it happense everytime I boot up the PC
check if the game isn't in the (WIN+R) shell:startup folder
Skill issue
Yo guys i got my first gamepad , im preorder 8bit pro 3 , any one use 8bit gamepads what your opinion about it
8bitdo is arguably the best none fancy controller out there rn
so
like ya fine lol
Yea i really like pro version more then ultimate because i like loadout more and glad the add charging station for pro 3 its good
And dont wana buy dualsense or xbox gamepads just dont like it
They’re cheaper or same price and have the charging stand and HE/TMR sticks can’t remember what they use in the latest of each
It’s the right choice of all of the controller options rn
Anything similar probably costs almost twice as much
Yea i get this one for 62 usd
I can get for same price ultimate 2 but
Im like pro 3 version more
Microsoft rarely does limited editions of its Surface products, but it has quietly launched a “Smurface Edition” in time for the Smurfs movie. I was expecting it to be a totally blue design, but instead Microsoft has laser-etched the Smurfs to the front, alongside a blue Surface logo. Other than that, it’s a 13-inch Surface Laptop 7 with Q...

We're reviewing AMD's new Threadripper 9980X Zen 5 CPU in this benchmark, including comparisons against previous Threadripper CPUs (like the 7980X) and against desktop-class CPUs (like the Intel 285K and AMD Ryzen 9950X). Although these CPUs are for a...
Dumb question: If I'm taking my PC for a 2 minute drive, should I bother removing the GPU or should it be fiiiine as long as I drive carefully
No funny headline for this one? So it’s just alright?
Lay the pc down on its side and it should be just fine
ye that's the plan
Apparently it’s better than what Intel’s offering (as usual) but I dunno enough about serverland stuff
I think it’s pretty much just mediocre, there’s nothing to make fun of or heavily heavily praise from what I saw
Haven’t watched the video specifically yet tho
It just works
Its impressive how bad of an app discord mobile is
Right?
Keep getting ghost pings from the app itself and not from some random chucklefuck trying to be funny
For me, the audio of vids continues playing after minimizing the app
Also keyboard hides the text box so I cant read what I write and I have to reoppen the app completely to fix it.
wait, stupid WhatsApp popups lul
there we go
my fav discord bug, idk how it's even possible to achieve this by accident
mine does that too sometimes
That makes sense
Intel hasn't been winning in years
And server processors are so hard to beat
For both price to performance as well as power consumption to performance
I dunno how Intel manages to keep doing it
Idk
Who's biting anything
Buying
Who wouldn't just buy AMD for anything
Thread ripper is kinda a weird middle ground rn tho
It's marketed as a workstation cpu
Where as servers use epyc processors
Normal people can't afford workstation cpus
The 9980x is 64 cores, but can boost to 5.4 GHz
That's insane
It's also $5000
Meanwhile the epyc 9965 can go to 192 cores and boost to 3.7ghz all core
Very different use cases
The Intel suite of stuff is a staple and just works
Plus you can buy used Intel stuff for… nothing
Give me the Power10 chips
I feel like Intel losing their lead was gonna happen
Just wasn't really prepared for its effects
allowing redditors to comment on a github issue was a mistake
TIL this was a thing lmao
they should bring it back as-is
hahaha i love how it has that wing on top
and it looks like a volvo in the back
I love it
The HRV is one of few SUVs I do think is cool
We used to have one
5 door though
They’re too big for this country still but atl it was an interesting one if ur gonna have one
Plus u can buy them for like £1000 now
Can someone help my PC keeps turning itself on even though I’ve been shutting it down
Is it overheating
It's also possible that it's just spitting out Code 41s
oh nvm I read it as "turning itself off"
yeah okay
That's a massive skill issue on my part

@sly elk i got an RX 9060XT 16gb set
damn that turnaround musta been quick
you sounded like the 5050 was a lock last night
all this because i was like "o no" in #general-discussion
HE WAS GONNA BUY A WHAT?
jesus
thank fuck
god bless this discord full of gamers
helping the newbies avoid shitty gpu
Uhhhh well some stuff happened xD
But my budget was overblown due to it

My budget was 3k but its overblown to 3849
And including the monitor i got 4.2k
Way overblown
@hot shadow
Huh
it's fine tho at least it's a usable thing in your life that stays 8+ years unchanging if you're miserly
whatever it's their job to spoil you

Im abit pooped rn
I wanted an lower end part but the promoter insisted we get this set so we did and we felt abit pooped
I hate when they do that
I mean this is by far the better option then a 5050
yes
a 5050 would've been such a waste of sand that you would've been better off without a gpu
I wanted an 5060 but nvm honestly
a 9060xt is usually cheaper then a 5060 though?
wtf LOL they are here
Huh
wait
why does it matter then
the 9060xt is better then the 5060 lol
if ya get it at the same price it's pretty good deal then
I think 200 dollars more for the rx 9060xt
But the issue is they dont wanna change the effing gpu

Like seriously?
Everything got messed up
They said the set is better than downgrading
Me and my dad got dizzy hearing the promoter bable and got it
which system integrator did you go for?
System intergrator?
Oh an local brand here since im on malaysia
o
so the promoter straight up told you to get the 9060xt over the 5050?
We wanted to downgrade to an 5060 but they said the price diff is 600 myr so why not just get the 16gb one instead
based
based
But
Nah I kinda gree with that lol
200$ for that upgrade will last you much much much longer
Im also willing to bet its due to availability
cz if you arnt a big SI, your parts selection is very limited rn
The mobo doesnt have stock anymore
So yeet
So we had to get the set couldnt go custom
yea they did that here in the US, too
I bought my 9070xt with a power supply because newegg wouldn't sell them alone. The power supply was actually a really nice one though. Unfortunately for me I really didn't need it so I sold it lol.
basically sold it for a $40 loss
but that doesn't feel bad at all because if I count the price of the psu that way, then I'm saying i paid 670+tax for the gpu, so $710 all in is... really good
I ain't even using Newegg anymore cause I felt like the deals sucked
or they would charge for shipping
yea they cost 699 now, I think I did ok considering i got mine when they were hard to get lol
8600/8700g igpu vs 5050
Both suck
The 5050 is an actual dedicated gpu the igpu in the 8000 series CPUs isn’t matching it tho
Still both suck
dedicated gpu means it has its own ram
faster ram too, usually
so there is a performance difference for sure
They also charge restocking fees for returns which in the days of Amazon feels absolutely archaic
the whole "you have to buy the combo to get that" thing pissed a lot of people off, but it does work lol
i mean in my case it was, pay 789 for the 9070xt and a 850w power supply.... or buy a $899 9070xt off amazon because the other ones would sell out instantly except for the asus tuf which would randomly stay in stock for a few seconds... at $799...
luckily tjhis isn't a problem anymore
oh wow they even have the yeston sakura in stock
dude
Worth every penny
whats the cpu on the prebuilt?
it’s basically a 7600(X) without the iGPU
Oh?
So streaming tech question- what do I need so people hear my mic and the game audio separately?
do you mean you want to record them on separate tracks?
because that's fairly straightforward, you need to set up your streaming/recording software so that there is at least one audio track with only game audio and at least one audio track with only mic audio
but you also need a track with both combined so that you can stream that audio track, else your viewers won't be able to hear both
afaik there is no streaming platform that supports letting your viewers choose between audio tracks
god imagine
the closest thing is Twitch allowing you to stream two audio tracks to them at once, one for the live broadcast and one that will be used in the VOD
That reminds me, I need to set something up like that for console gaming streams
Like set up my headphones for tv
Oh. No, I meant like getting the mic to not pick up my speakers.
wear headphones
Oh.
i do wonder how cohh does it. he rarely ever wears headphones but you never hear his speakers
i'm sure there's a way but it probably involves more equipment
use a proper directional mic lol
that too
oh yeah proper audio setup in the space you stream from
My friend uses a very nice condenser mic with a very tight cone
cons is that he has to eat the fucking mic
pros is that he doesn't wear headphones
honestly I just use headphones
he prefers not too because he has sensitive skin
I remember setting it up for him lmao
yeah that's fair
my mic pics up my openbacks if I turn my headphones toward the mic 
I have a mic that's way too high quality for my ass
arent those 1500$ headphones
uhhh no
the new version of these suck, everyone prefers the old version
790$
Excuse me, wtf, what do you mean you ordered on the ides of march and get it in early August?
they're great for longevity because spare parts are readily available and easy to swap out
hd600s never worked for me when I wanted to do production stuff and it never was good for my music
but it was comfortable for gaming
so it was used a lot
i hate doing that
back order, these don't get made anymore and headphones.com is just selling whatever they find in a warehouse lol
yeah they're really good for gaming, they straight up make me better at DBD because I can hear survivors so well
But if it's great, why don't they make more?
just very picky when it comes to audio
because they made a revision
Someone surely had the idea to try and continue it
the revision isn't bad, it's just different
My headphones is wilting aaaa
but a company can't just make both SKUs
That I am aware
audio is a highly subjected field after a certain price point
I work in a warehouse and SKU numbers are... delicate
-gets out his audiophile ssd-
most people can just stop at like airpods or hd600s at most
open back is the best
i kinda want to try my luck with some hifiman planars at some point
the SHP9500 is still a huge fan favorite
i need to figure out what closed backs to get, because sometimes i really dont want to hear the street noise
because the dt880s sound great but many years ago i tried a coworker's hifiman setup and it sounded like the music was coming from a stereo nearby not on top of my ears
it was awesome
That was mine too
120$ these days
do you need wireless or
no
cuz there's really only one valid option with wireless and it's like...Sony lol
I can't spend that much rn, not without compromising on saving money
Almost a year in the making, the world's only NVMe M2 SSD designed for audiophiles and music lovers. Designed from ground up, co-develop with controller manufacturer using 3D NAND flash with pseudo SLC mode, external clock oscillator, 200% more PCB copper isolation, milspec PCB stiffness, 300% gr...
I'm not an audiophile either but I really like comfy headsets
My ears are sensitive
connected with gold plated sata cables?
i still miss the philips fidelio X1 i had. comfiest pair that ever touched my ears.
too bad they decided to not make the earpads swapable, so they eventually broke and i had to yeet them
I think the only closed back in would get rob is the Azurys
just off the cuff thinking
A system deficit I recognized over the last several months was choral music, couldn't enjoy it when played as I was hearingwrong harmonics, kind of a glaze on the sound with poor word intelligibility regardless of whether the OS resided on Optane or
in RAM. Had me agonizing over what could fix it...problem solved using the FEMTO NVMe drive
550€ is a liiittle out of my budget
mainly because I don't like closed headphones
yeaaaa
what's the ft1 costing these days over there?
That's just extreme
i dont really like them either, but i really want to just be a little more isolated from the nonstop noise
wtf is audiophile NVMe
I bought that for my parents and my normie fifa playing friends
and they seem to love it
fiio ft1 is like 180€ i think?
hang on
Also taking the SSD out of the PC and wrapping both the OS and music drive SSD's in Mumetal shielding with further grounding has taken the SQ to a level I did not hear before. RAID and external NAS may be in the same external benign enviroment being away from the PC. Of course the RAID controller, firmware, powering quality etc are other factors that one would have to address.
that's what I would get rob

if not the focals
i actually didnt even know they made a closed back FT1
bro why even listen to music at that point
just read the sheet music and play it in your head
relatively newer iirc
- HA🤣 Bass and Sound Level is showing up after 50 hours of running M2 drive on Power.. "burn in" may not scare some on this forum😅
burn in 😄
If the NVME M.2 is a 100watt Solid State Amp then the Samsung 860 is like a 150 watt Tube Amp
meaning the 860 is
- Slightly louder
- Warmer in tone
- Holographic in Sound Stage especially outside of Speaker and HP sonic images
- More depth to Sound Stage
What do they mean by burn in
My hearing is probably the only sense that I have that's not stunted
they mean
so I tend to rely heavily on it, so my audio shit is super picky
that they stuck this snake oil ssd in their computer and ran it for 50 hours
and claim that the music now sounds better
after burning in the m.2 nvme ssd
Hmm
there is still this myth that you need to run your headphones,speakers,equipment,whateverelse for X hours or days at X volume with this or that kinda music or noise before they will sound as they should or else you might damage them etc
i wonder what they're listening to anyway
So this SSD is snake oil
if they're just listening to something made in the last 10-20 years
it's probably just recorded and processed on a damn macbook anyway
bruh I have tinnitus
I will never experience true silence
I just want background music
my vision is shot as hell but my hearing is really good
I have a strong talent for music which is really unfortunate
My vision is pretty good but working in loud factories for years had its toll
because I would've rather had a talent for drawing
Practice
I've always worked in a construction and factory Environment
but I've always used overkill hearing protection
yeah I've gotten pretty good at drawing through practice but it was a pain in the ass
I use both the plugs and muffs
learning to play an instrument is comparatively a lot easier
Yeah unfortunately my workplaces didn't because according to their measurements the locations I was working at was at safe levels
a month or so ago i unplugged the air purifier in my bedroom because it plugged in behind my bed and there was a lightning storm rolling in and..... yea it was harder to sleep without the noise because my tinnitus lol
it just makes me sad that I clearly have an affinity for music that I don't really use
I wish I could give it to someone who actually wants to do something with it
It's okay, you'll use it when you play the Ukulele in your apology video
me with omegashit vision doing scale models
but I have to wear like five lenses in front of my glasses
small
and then there is me, equally mid in every category
beat your head against a wall and eventually get better, it's the motivation to keep beating your head against that wall that stops ya
I drew a pretty good Waluigi recently
work being busy has stopped me from painting recently and it's depressing
also I have nothing to apologize for
better for sure, just not good in my case
anyway talent is like, it makes it easier to learn certain things but in the end you still need to put in hundreds if not thousands of hours to get good at something
there's no substitute for the human journey to acquire a new skill
me with more hours then people have in a career on scale modeling and still making some of the omega dogshit models
i really havent seen anything shit from you so far
i have seen SO MUCH worse
you showed me this insanely detailed thing you made
sorry i have bad insomnia so my brain is not working at full power
right but it's like you see my models which can me meseum quality and then there are my minis
it's like
nah they really aint that bad sarah
uh huh
I'm gonna throw hands over this because I spent the last month trying to figure out blending
and im gonna tell you fuck blending, its witchcraft
need to knowwwww
oh right
rob I went on a trip with other rob and Miriam today
and we went to an antique mall
I uh
plastic found me
lol

and then what
play gypsy kings cover songs on it
can you play it
it depends on your definition of play
and nah gypsy kings has like 6 people playing guitar
learning the flamenco strumming patterns is fun af
The pick ups are still good on it, my friend used it for two seasons before he asked me to make him a different one
I still have my shitty ibanez gio starting bass guitar
ya a guitar's a guitar
if it holds a tune yer good
don't tell the gibson guys i said that
I did it aaaaagain
there's like at least one guitar youtuber who uses a first act lmao
what is it this time?
oh
i think the expensive guitars matter more when you play classical on a hollow body or something idk
or just want better build quality (which sadly isnt guaranteed though)
Talking about tech, I have the two fictional testor jets now. These caused mayhem in the modeling space back then because they claimed these were "leaked" DOJ designs for what eventually became the f-117. Like these were what they thought the f-117 would look like
well sarah at least your computer aint squirting
yet
i am pretty sure the mig was in ace combat
most likely
show
F-19 Stealth Fighter is a combat flight simulator developed and released in 1988 (DOS) and 1990 (Amiga and Atari ST) by MicroProse, featuring a fictional United States military aircraft. It is the 16-bit remake of the 8-bit game Project Stealth Fighter, which was released for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum in 1987; in 1992, it was also ported ...
the world was infatuated by these two fake fighters back then

vibe i get on the internet is like
if you want a kickass guitar for cheap a yamaha revstar?
Streaming in general makes me nervous. I don’t even know what to talk about on mic.
idk maybe for a little more one of those prs swamp ash guitars 😄
They matter but the diminishing returns are around £1000-2000 either way
Unless u want something very specific
Everyone hypes up the revstar but I bought a PRS instead no competition it’s a much better guitar
I only own like 6 guitars to compare and most of them are cheaper ones
The best value stuff is from PRS, Yamaha, Harley Benton in Europe, Ibanez for some of the standard line like the AZ, or Cort depending on what u want
I did say the prs is probably worth spending a little more on XD
To me it would be no question
I like how the prs looks
Idc for the Yamahas aesthetically
I personally have a fender ultra strat hss and don’t think I’d ever need another guitar lol. So whenever I do it will be a purely frivolous purchase for the lols
My guess is either a PRS or some sort or a Japanese fender
Or maybe some kinda epiphone es335 kinda deal, one of those giant hollow body jazz guitars
i have a melodica and an otamatone
the instruments for People Who Cant Play Instruments Starter Pack
but they're so fun lmao
I think half the time I was just otamatoning the entire bg3 soundtrack when the game launched
This pc casing is too fcking large ffs
Even larger than my prev case
And its damn troublesome
@potent arrow
wipe your camera lens and focus it better dawg
Eat it
I think doing research on case sizes would've been good actually
like I can afford to stick with a full-size case that supports SSI-EEB boards because I'm done with school
They do a cheaper one than the revstar too
I have a PRS SE custom 24-08 from when they first released them, Washburn, acoustic, a squier, questionable old ripoffs that are better quality than the fenders from the 90s-00s still
I’m buying a CV jazzmaster now because I can’t afford a MIJ one
The MIM fenders are terrible still
Feels like QC on the squier CV/standard stuff is way better lol
There’s a whole bunch of guitars I’d like to buy but stupid to buy something the same as what I already own lol
I mean uhhhh it came with the set ffs
oh
Nothing stopping you from upgrading later I guess
I mean the set has an 3 fan gpu
why does the usb-c cable have to be plugged in before you boot to make it even work
oh but once it is plugged in, plugging it out again and then in again after booting works
@wide hillyo
hi?
so like honest question
Do I get an drawing display?
I was thinking about whether to save money or not but since I already have an drawing tablet
I don't have access to an ipad and Procreate
and I suspect ipad would cost more than an drawing display
check out the Huion Kamvas line of products
they're good, solid drawing displays
with a lot of options for price and size
I have a relatively small one that I often use just as an extra display as well
Depends which one, there’s cheap options for both
If u want to just sit on ur bed or a chair or smth and draw tho an iPad or similar android tablet will be much better
I need the kamvas 22
you have to learn how to use procreate properly
I can barely fit the 16 I have on my desk
is also the thing
I think procreate is terrible anyway
Relative to anything else
U have krita, CSP, photoshop available on desktop atl
ya
And Medibang if u don’t mind closing 13 pop ups when u open it
the mobility is just convenient
kamvas you still have to remember it's a new monitor basically
forever tethered
XP pen make a stand alone tablet as well now tho that’s way better than an iPad for drawing
cause if I'm just doing shit art or something procreate is more than enough also
for a family that usually has an ipad these days
Comes with the matte paper texture screen by default and a pen that’s got double the pressure sensitivity levels of any other tablet u can buy rn
seems like a lot of middle class families got an ipad floating around with nobody using it cause their dad bought it at first
The new ones only use one usb c cable for power and display for some of them iirc lol makes it much better
hahaha
I still have one with the hdmi and power cable going into it which sucks
I know so many people who have an iPad but idk what they even really use it for
how about xppen?
They make good stuff
I prefer Huion for screen tablets generally they’re just better in terms of build quality
the tablet I have at home is an Inutos Pro Medium so how should I switch?
if men then you already know
if women then LINE webtoons about prince harem
ez
Lmao
(same)
I got a bigger phone so I do that here now too haha
I think for a bit I had some real comics that were digitized so I read it on ipad
cause it's magazine siZe
there's a lot of marvel/DC/doctor who comics
Is an 27 inch 1080p monitor too much?
no that's pretty standard
if anything it should be very affordable
just make sure the other specs like response or refresh rate isn't dogass
decide if you're a 60hz or 144hz+ gamer
if you do any amount of art you have to care about the calibration and colors and panel it uses. but that's obviously extra
because pink is different on everyone's monitor
Oh i thought its too much tbh but the monitor i have isnt bad at all
So its good for me
But i thought 24 inch is the standard?
24 inch 1080p is usually the standard with 27 inch 1440p if you go up in size
but if you sit far away enough
27 inch 1080p is ok
if u sit too close ull start to notice stuff being blurry/low res cause of the PPI
Oh im not too close not too far too tbh
I finally got rid of the oldass 2000s 19 inch monitor in the garage and holy shit I can't believe we used to play on that
it feels so damn small almost like a square

:3
thats fun
my gpu acting up again
gpu crashed on hitman absolution
screen went black, then crash message pop up saying 0gb memory used and 0 gb is available
what the fuck
i was playing hitman absolution and watching something on the second monitor. The game crashed, the show i was watching on the second monitor was still showingn
You sure it was the gpu then?
Or did you disable hardware acceleration in your browser?
Hardware accel is on
gpu crash or driver crash would kill the browser video then too usually
to be fair, the taurus sho is a legend and there's probably few left on the road
that i don't know lol
on paper i'm sure any bmw would beat a taurus sho
it's mroe the novelty
is sony xm4 that good or is it overhyped? anyone got experience with it
By far better than the competition but I wouldn’t buy used ones bc of the battery issues they could have unless ur gonna pay for that being fixed too
The XM5s are a lot better too
But for any flaws there’s not rly a better option
are they good for gaming or just music?
I think in the review I saw they recommended using them wired for that but
Probably better than a majority of gaming headsets
Idk if the XM5s got cheaper now the XM6 is out but I might get some when they go down in price
I have the c700n for earbuds after trying a load of others
Where's Hardware Hank
I need help
my pc thinks i'm in Brussels
I am not
and when I try to change the time zone the menu keeps jumping back to the top and I can't scroll.
Oh boy
Hank isn't here anymore
man I haven't seen that dudes face in a long time
The Hanker got banned
how big is an 13 inch pen display
I’m no good with estimating sizes from cm and other measuring units
I mean how else do u want to know the size besides the actual measurements
Get a tape measure or ruler or something so u can see an estimation irl
Roughly the size of a small laptop if that helps
Lemme know
posted cropped porn
Ah right
He used to do that even when he was a mod
When called out the response was "nuh-uh!"
OG focal clears
brand new :3
very worth
it does seem v comfy
next to my hd6xx I can hear a huge difference in fidelity
it's funny, I own a lot of nice headphones but I couldn't find one that could beat the hd6xx in both sound and comfort
it was either one or the other
seems like this one will hit the balance
dumb question, i just got my pc 3 weeks ago and i want to try bf6
and i learn my pc has secure boot disable, should i enable it or?
that game requires you enable it
so does call of duty now
should it be enable or?
Nothing has beat my HD6XX short of a price tag double or more of them too
That’s a nice upgrade but definitely says something that that’s how expensive u have to go to beat them still lol
My DT770s are as comfortable but no closed backs sound as good still
Hd6xx are the best in price range
Oh you use them too

I used to
As long as you have the requirements for it there's no downside
I can’t have open backs with how stupid loud people are here now
Understandable
lol
I want another pair eventually
When I don’t have loud ass people around one day

i had the opposite problem with headphones lol
i bought my dt880s because i felt kinda nauseous using my ath-m50x at work
because when i played music quiet i could still hear everyone talking around me, just muffled
and also the sealed-off nature of closed backs, especially with pleather head cushions, isn't great for my ear pressure issues XD
i found the open back a lot more tolerable
I think when my finances get less fucky I’m buying a second monitor/microphone to stream with.
I get tired of using my phone to monitor chat.
It’s even better now when u can get ultra cheap 1080p lcd displays for a second one where u don’t need anything fancy
A reminder that the average person doesn’t care at all about the ethics of AI usage as long as it’s convenient
People who use duolingo never cared about the quality of what they were using anyway lol it’s always been garbage
oooo there's cheap used ones
Eeeeh, it's more like I'm fucking tapped out right now. Bills are bad this month.
Duolingo JP is the worst hahahahaa they make you get stuck on katakana passport and other dumb words for like 3 months bro
that app is honestly so fken useless
people get further learning wanikani or go watch anime or play a dragon quest game after getting a bit of a foundation
It’s holiday/trip language learning
Even then it’s wrong and stupid most of the time
Yeah I think I got a better understanding of the language by consuming Japanese media instead
Like it’s probably super basic by now but not enough to make conversation
I might end up being the world’s most passive polyglot by 50 or something
U can learn more of a language from googling stuff for a week urself than duolingo
Idk how they even convince new people to use it
The bird being a meme was good for a while
But you can buy a load of textbooks or courses for less than any of the crappy apps charge for a year
I say “passive” because I have difficulty speaking Filipino due to my accent being American
Lmao
Do u know how hard it is to speak ANY language when ur accent is British
Everything I speak sounds wrong
I already feel like this with three languages and I'm tired
you already fucked up you gotta add the p to the f
Yep
pillypinno ahksent
I miss hanging out with Singaporeans the most
because I really enjoy chinglish
@hazy frost hihi
language just all over da place
When I try and speak Japanese it sounds bad
I got the posh accent idk if that’s a better or worse one to have realistically
Hi
posh JP is cute
Not with the British accent 💔
