I mean as long as I have no issue with the Bluetooth keeping a steady connection, I might as well save my money.
And if I do, then I'll mess with it then.
I also own a cat so...
The fewer wires, the better. :x
So if I have the speaker wired to the TV and connected to the PC through Bluetooth, would that mean that if both were running it would play output from both at once?
Or would one of them override the other?
dull garnet
it wouldn't do simultaneous inputs no

So how would it prioritize exactly? Would the wired get priority?

wrong guy
sly elk
most bluetooth speakers don't have any kinda password protection and will let anybody connect to them
I think klipsch is particularly bad about that with their 2.1s
if someone connects to bt, the bt takes over, regardless of whether you were using wired
someone was complaining on an amazon review that their neighbors kept screwing with them
my edifiers also don't care, butthey won't play bluetooth unless I turn the bluetooth on
and once someone's connected it won't let anyone else connect until either they disconnect or you hold a set of buttons for a few seconds
so if you connect your computer over bt, it';ll stay connected and nobody else can jack it

It takes some real headass engineering to continue using the same case design but with different plastic shell around it for years
Blame politics for that

it's a different design than the old aurora case

Imagine being so rich you can casually throw away several billion dollars bc ppl...
imagine having enough money to literally solve actual civilization level threats and you spend your money on the blue bird site because you got hoisted by your own petard in court
I'm 100% certain elon musk owning twitter will make it an unusable hellsite, vastly less usable than it was two weeks ago
on the other hand, his claim that he'll cut down on bot activity will have no noticeable effect on $tsla because his followers are functionally bots
no, like, think 8chan
a site with little to no moderation because "muh free speech" ends up becoming a hellsite full of shitheads posting the most vile content
either in earnest or to make other people upset, and since you're deep in poe's law territory the end result is you can never tell the difference
4chan's /pol/ forum used to be a shitpost forum until stormfront took it over and used it as a launching point for an international lurch to the far right
because 4chan's moderation is a joke
dunno what could break rule 4 here, it's been proven multiple times non-denominationally that allowing people to post whatever the fuck they want ends up in a race to the bottom
🤔
twitter is going 100% private when elon buys it, he's going to deal out all the shareholders and turn it into whatever hellscape his bizarre lolbertarian ideology demands it to be
I expect twitter to look a lot like it does now, but $tsla bots will get amped and $tslaq users will get banned
and by 2025 it'll look like 8chan because elon doesn't believe in moderation unless it personally attacks him
can't "defend" free speech when the government is involved
then it's just a propaganda farm
media is the fourth estate and should never, ever be state controlled
the thing is that people think elon is going to revolutionize twitter, but I know the brand
he's just going to take off all the moderation functions and let the site burn to the ground
that's literally what jack did when he was CEO
and the threat of being regulated by the US government prompted the twitter board to oust jack-er, encourage him to focus on square
it's no coincidence that jack and elon are functionally interchangeable as irritating cryptobros who made a shitload of money fleecing their followers

my last question i promise, the screen is 8k whatever that means, supposed to be a bit better than 4K. Higher resolution in game, click on 150% or? I promise i wont annoy further.
deep sapphire
Yeah that will make the icons (User Interface or UI for short) larger
storm wedge
OH, thats neat
deep sapphire
You can also turn on the option to make the icons high resolution, I can’t remember the name of the option it’s been awhile since I’ve played but I think it was right below that
storm wedge
ok, thank you. Have a really great day
deep sapphire
You too 😄
If the game runs poorly at your resolution (8K is really hard to run games at) you can go back into the settings and set it to fullscreen and drop the resolution down to something more manageable
It won’t look as crisp but it will be a smoother experience overall
storm wedge
hmm. i will try to understand once i finally get in the game, been trying since 7 am yesterday 🙂 almost there.
Thank you

it's potentially better but run into limitations of whatever you're working on or just plain need to move on up to 3/4 or 1 inch for serious twist (past around 750 footsies or so)

Am I just being overly ambitious expecting 60 fps on a 1070 at 1440 max settings? ive read many places I should be fine but like, using Garuda solo in a heavensward dungeon tanks my fps and that just feels odd

Hello, i am thinking to buy new monitor but, idk which is good for me.
My budget is $200 around.
So, my quesiton is, what should I get between 4K res or higher hz rate (144hz)?
for general use. Like, study, games, work etc

Hello, i am thinking to buy new monitor but, idk which is good for me.

@novel venture depends on the rest of their system tbh
novel venture
like?
modest moss
what gpu/cpu do you have?
novel venture
i5, 3060
lime oriole
How does it depend on their system
modest moss
what resolution do you game in
novel venture
2k
modest moss
see?
lime oriole
Well if they're buying a 4K monitor, of course they'd want to game at 4K
and then you'll tank the fps
modest moss
they don't want a 1080p
lime oriole
But $200 is not enough for a 1440p 144hz monitor
and buying a 60hz for gaming isn't something you do
modest moss
maybe they don't care about high fps
maybe they just want it to look nice and hit 60 or 75 fps
novel venture
i will take that wrong xD
modest moss
why are you being salty?
lime oriole
Because you're being dismissive of my opinion
and it's annoying as hell
"Maybe they want this, maybe this, i don't think what you're saying is good, maybe this that who when what"
Just shut up dude
modest moss
you told someone who games at 1440p to buy a 1080p monitor because you didn't ask them what they run
lime oriole
Take care bye*
modest moss
you need to back up here, don't give bad advice and then get mad
lime oriole
You know what, fine, I'll entertain you
modest moss
nobody insulted you
lime oriole
Why does what they run now matter if they're buying a new monitor to have for general use?
Wouldn't they already be gaming on their main monitor in that case?
modest moss
they game at 1440p and they didn't say it's a secondary monitor, just a new one
don't get an attitude here, seriously
lime oriole
And judging by the way they're asking, I'd assume they're running a 1440p 60hz monitor, in which case they should really get a 144hz monitor as it's overall superior for gaming
and for $200 you won't get a high refresh rate monitor above 1080p
If their budget was higher, I'd recommend a 1440p 144hz
As that's the current gaming standard
modest moss
that's great, but you didn't bother asking and you got mad when I bothered to ask a question
at no point was anyone rude to you, don't bring that shit in here
lime oriole
So them mentioning they have a 2K monitor just immediately tells you they don't want a 1080p monitor AT ALL?
I mean really.
modest moss
dude just stop
lime oriole
Why?
modest moss
I'm telling you to drop it

Ok?

you could turn down resolution but it might look worse since it's an 8k panel

not that one
if you run the game in fullscreen mode, you can change it to the desired resolution
otherwise under display settings you can change your resolution

of course you'll need to change it back for other content unless you're fine keeping it for everything

you can play higher than that

they said they game at 1440p but bought a 1080p monitor
It’s for general use and they’re going to use dual so it should be sufficient for a secondary monitor
Plus i was too busy running errands to research
modest moss
they didn't say it was for a secondary earlier tbh, and if it is they need quality rather than 144hz imo, but whatever
hard drift
Overall it isn’t terrible and if their monitor has too much contrast it’ll work out fine for them
Although i personally wouldn’t have chosen that

is that size of 21.5 and 23.5 fine enough?
21.5 is pretty small by today's standards imho. I would say 27 is the current standard and 24 isnt uncommon either

it's a company that owns a ton of brands
my favorite part is they own eyemed
VSP also owns a ton of eyeglasses brands
so in the US, if you work for company X and they use VSP, VSP sends you to an eye doctor that just so happens to only carry glasses VSP makes
what I found hilarious was one time I needed something quick so I went to lenscrafters (owned by luxottica/eyemed) and they were like "oh we'll give you a 20% discount for that insurance"
... it cost about the same

I just do medium/high gaming at 4K and I expect nothing more than the 4K 60 FPS that my monitor is capable of. Not many games are doing HDR yet, so there's no need to hook my PC up to a new monitor.
I have a Ryzen 3700X, I know AM5 motherboards are coming, but I know AMD has said they'll be DDR5 only, so I'll probably get a new Alder Lake CPU or next year's iteration of it since LGA 1700 socket mobos will support DDR4 & DDR5, so I can upgrade to the latter when DDR5 maybe lowers in price.
My question is, any idea on what a clear upgrade for the AMD 3700X might be on either AM4 or LGA 1700/12th gen Intel processors?

Xiaomi should have stopped there because Shark Chan has a few other features that are just plain off-putting. I did a double-take when I noticed that the software includes a mention of Shark Chan’s bust, waist, and hip measurements, as if I’m playing a dating sim. There’s also a gallery mode where it wants you to touch Shark Chan’s avatar. It’ll respond with dismissive or bashful responses depending on where you touch it, calling you “commander” with each line. I didn’t want or need a weird attempt at a dating sim meshed with a virtual assistant, and I’m not sure why Xiaomi thought that this would be a good idea.

do not even upgrade for 4k gaming.... you gain little to nothing from it at 4k so you're going to gain more from waiting for 13th gen/am5 or later even for ddr5
