go to the 'performance' tab

#

it will tell you what CPU, RAM, storage, GPU you have

wild parrot
#

Wait

#

Till i ser

#

See

latent light
#

you get there yet?

wild parrot
#

I don't understand how to get there

#

Tell me again

#

How do i open task manager?

#

Ok

#

I opened it

latent light
#

is there a 'more details' option?

wild parrot
#

Cpu

#

Is

#

Intel Cor i3 4170 CPU

latent light
#

that's your problem already

wild parrot
#

Mmm

#

What?

latent light
#

i3-4170 only has 2 cores and 4 threads

#

game really needs 4 cores to be stable

wild parrot
#

Ehh

#

Sad

#

I can somehow play...

latent light
#

yeah it will just be stuttery

wild parrot
#

I can't do something?

latent light
#

you'd have to buy a new CPU

wild parrot
#

Bruh

latent light
#

Battlefield games are becoming more demanding

#

BF1 was way more demanding than BF4

#

and BFV is way more demanding than BF1

wild parrot
#

Ohh god

#

I think i stick at this

#

Ok

#

Thanks

#

For help..

#

Bye

latent light
#

yw

wild parrot
#

In English pls

latent light
#

that means you're welcome

#

lol

wild parrot
#

Ok

#

Bye

latent light
#

bye

supple bane
#

oof, playing a bf title on a 2 core oof

latent light
#

yeah, might as well play it on xbox lol

supple bane
#

4 core isnt exactly a great experience, nvm 2 lol

latent light
#

4 core plays BF1 fine

supple bane
#

oh it was bf1?

latent light
#

yep

supple bane
#

mm

latent light
#

2 cores will struggle tho

supple bane
#

if your buying anything below 6 at this point. your doing it wrong, considering r5 2600 can be had for 100 bucks

latent light
#

Ryzen 5 1600 AF is a better budget option for only $85

supple bane
#

anyone know how many amps a ryzen 5 2600 would draw when its overclocked/is there a way to check

#

i wanna work out what wattage my cpu is drawing when its overclocked compared to stock

latent light
#

not much

#

Ryzen 5 2600 at stock will draw 65-70 watts and overclocked can be anywhere from 80-120 watts depending on how high you go

supple bane
#

as i am rn, im at as high as i can go

#

in terms of power draw at least

#

1.35v

wild parrot
#

If I buy a new CPU will the archives (everything you have in pc) be...

#

Deleted?

latent light
#

no

supple bane
#

no

latent light
#

since you have a 4th gen Intel CPU, you can only stick to 4th gen Intel

wild parrot
#

I CAN BUY A NEW CPU AND NO THING WILL HAPPEN TO PC?

supple bane
#

yeah

wild parrot
#

He he

supple bane
#

apart from become more powerful that is

wild parrot
#

A 6 cores CPU

latent light
#

so your only upgrade options are an i5-4440, 4570, 4670, 4690 or if you want an i7-4770, 4790

wild parrot
#

How much does it cost?

latent light
#

you can only find those CPUs in the used market

wild parrot
#

A 6 core cpu

latent light
#

you need a new motherboard and new ram for a 6-core Ryzen

wild parrot
#

Ohh

#

Ok

#

Forget it

latent light
#

how much would you spend on a CPU right now?

wild parrot
#

As much as it costs (lower than 500-400 € lol)

#

If that happens

#

If

latent light
#

what country?

wild parrot
#

Europe

#

Somewhere there

latent light
#

lol

#

balkans?

wild parrot
#

Yes

latent light
#

hmm

wild parrot
#

Everyone goes there in the summer

latent light
#

just go on google or whatever browser you use and type in "Ryzen 5 2600" and see how much it costs

wild parrot
#

Ok

#

113,10€

#

Eow

#

Wow

#

Box

#

It is a box

latent light
#

yeah you can get a Ryzen 5 2600, B450 motherboard and 16GB DDR4 ram for under 400 euros easily

molten bramble
#

@wild parrot Complete your thoughts and stop spamming the Return key. You've been warned before.

wild parrot
#

Really?

#

Ok

latent light
#

Ryzen 5 2600, ASRock B450M Pro4, 16GB 3000 MHz ram

#

those 3 I'd recommend

#

So a Ryzen 9 4900U ultra-thin laptop with 12 cores and Vega 11 iGPU is coming and will have 10 hours of battery life, what's impressive is that it will be only 14.9mm thick and weigh only 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg), expected price is under $1000

crude creek
#

under 10k

#

oh thats 1k

#

my eyes

#

thats good, sounds crazy, 4900.

opaque saddle
#

you meant the yoga?

#

The U series Mobile processor (designed for Ultrabook) works really really well tbh
cant really imagine how good the H series mobile processors will be on gaming laptop

prime jasper
#

sounds good

fair stratus
#

hello, help me

#

My PC: i7 8700k, 32ram ddr4-3000, GTX1660TI I play Battlefield 5 on Directx 11,if I enable the option to Render subsequent frames, then that's when the game starts constantly such as friezes on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqsYXsRwtvM , without the option to render subsequent frames, so no frizit that doesn't pull this option ? processor or video card? I do not speak English well please write to me in a personal account.

candid herald
#

so on bf4 im getting the "Low fps icon" at over 140fps

#

not sure how thats "Low"

opaque saddle
#

weird to see the CPU usage went all the way to 100%

#

last time i saw that happened it was a malware running in background when i was little . Using IE (no ad blocker and google chrome didn't exist back then) and no windows updates along with my little computer knowledge

latent light
#

when you want to gamble on burning your house down

sinful mantle
#

yeah aluminum coil burns easily

#

plus that 1500 watt degrades down to 400watt in a few months

supple bane
#

it wouldnt be that extreame

#

but it would degrade yes

sinful mantle
#

yeah i probably went over board

opaque saddle
#

I don’t really know the reason people gets the products from wish.com

#

Like they all know it’s gonna be a rip off

sinful mantle
#

probably a Chinese site.

opaque saddle
#

I saw the ads on Facebook and I blocked it

sinful mantle
#

not to down rap the chinese but they do make inferior products

opaque saddle
#

The further I went from for the Chinese e-commerce site are aliexpress and taobao

#

And if you speak English to them and it may or may not respond in English. But I always pick the items with highest number of items were sold, with highest rating listed, and never got scammed.

sinful mantle
#

that's a logical plan

opaque saddle
#

Coz 50 bucks for 1050ti is just, too good to be true

#

On wish

sinful mantle
#

no lie...lol

opaque saddle
#

I guess you may get an actual, legit used 1050ti on Taobao

#

For 70

#

Or actually less than that

sinful mantle
#

might be damaged though?

opaque saddle
#

They may claimed it’s 80% new or those BS

sinful mantle
#

80% new??...damn

opaque saddle
#

But as far as I know they may replace the heatsink and claimed it’s 90% new

sinful mantle
#

i'd be wworried about the other 20%

opaque saddle
#

Coz I got an old Russian lens from taobao and it claimed it’s 90% new

#

What they have done was to clean up the lens, repainted the metal

molten bramble
#

China has an open black market on tech where you can get hardware that’s been blueprinted by a manufacturer, but is replicated by other manufacturers.

#

LTT showed part of this in a video once.

sinful mantle
#

if they had to replace the heatsink something stinks about that.

opaque saddle
#

Like 1060 5GB, those cards were meant for Internet cafe

sinful mantle
#

yeah thats the main gripe with trade imballance these days

molten bramble
#

^

sinful mantle
#

stealing intellectual properties

opaque saddle
#

But I don’t go to wish coz I know it’s a scam in general

#

Indeed

sinful mantle
#

to be honest this is the first time I've ever heard of that site...but i have been living in a vacuum lately

opaque saddle
#

Which one

sinful mantle
#

wissh*

opaque saddle
#

Damn that was an old one

sinful mantle
#

hahaha...damn my fingers

#

ive been busy working of late

opaque saddle
#

I saw that ages ago. They put up ads on Facebook like, 2 years ago and became well known?

sinful mantle
#

er ive never joined facebook

opaque saddle
#

Ah that may be why

sinful mantle
#

im down on data mining

opaque saddle
#

But as I said, apart from ebay and amazon, I’d get stuff from Aliexpress and Taobao for PC parts or electronic products

sinful mantle
#

ill check them out...i still use newegg

opaque saddle
#

Coz you’ll know what you’ll be getting, based on the reviews and pictures from the product descriptions and ratings page

#

Not American so I cannot use newegg for goods

sinful mantle
#

yeah same with newegg i check the reviews

opaque saddle
#

The shipping cost is intense

#

It’s insanely expensive

sinful mantle
#

from china you mean?

opaque saddle
#

Nah newegg

sinful mantle
#

most are free shipping

opaque saddle
#

Shipping from US to Australia is too expensive

#

Plus I have to pay tax as well

sinful mantle
#

but yeah ive seen cheap prices with insane shipping mostly on ebay

#

oh well yeah that would be prohibitive from that distance and aussie is close to china

opaque saddle
#

Coz China is a “developing country” (claimed by China” ) and developed countries pays for the postage

sinful mantle
#

ah

#

i once waited 2 months on a shipment of cables from a chinese seller

opaque saddle
#

Trump was so upset about China using the excuses to reduce the cost of postage or something

sinful mantle
#

hell i forgot about my order it was so damned long..and was surprised when it arrived

opaque saddle
#

Cables?

sinful mantle
#

yeah ethernet and converters

opaque saddle
#

Why don’t you get it from amazon

sinful mantle
#

i eventually did that

#

i was buying over 500 feet of ethernet

opaque saddle
#

International shipping?

sinful mantle
#

no im in US

opaque saddle
#

Ah okay

sinful mantle
#

oh about the china shipping??...it was free

opaque saddle
#

Well we all paid for that lmao

sinful mantle
#

indeed....lol

#

in blood sweat and tears hopefully not

opaque saddle
#

But I felt like the tech stuff you can get from amazon and eBay aren’t the same as aliexpress and taobao

#

Basically all the goods are manufactured in China

sinful mantle
#

the price difference in cables is mostly the polymer in the plastics not so much as the actual wiring.

#

i once bought a cheap water hose and the plastic degraded in one season

opaque saddle
#

I can’t really comment on your case

sinful mantle
#

well its just china made cheap

opaque saddle
#

Coz I know some of them are cheaply made, so I paid the premium to get a more premium PC products from those sites with slightly cheaper price there

sinful mantle
#

that's basically what i mean as well...you do get what you pay for

opaque saddle
#

Like I got myself a mechanical keyboard for 39 AUD but it works just, as good as razor

sinful mantle
#

yeah ive had similar experiences

opaque saddle
#

And if I go to the local pc store and it cost 69, 79 bucks, easy

sinful mantle
#

yep

opaque saddle
#

I guess maybe we shall all avoid wish and know what we will be getting, in general

sinful mantle
#

hey thanks for the warning....seriously

opaque saddle
#

But aliexpress and taobao are definitely the Wish.com alternative

sinful mantle
#

like i said earlier i will check those sites

opaque saddle
#

And check for the seller’s ratings before getting anything expensive. As far as I know if the product didn’t come through or damaged, you can ask for refund.

Once you have received the items from the letterbox, the seller will not received the payment until you clicked on “I have received the items” button on those app.
Taobao is mainly in Chinese for Chinese buyers and supports google translate.

Aliexpress is basically taobao but for foreigners

sinful mantle
#

ah very good information there.

opaque saddle
#

I shall go to bed now, it’s 3am right now

sinful mantle
#

hey have a good sleep derek...great conversation i might add

opaque saddle
#

No worries mate, sure I will.
have a good day

sinful mantle
#

will do

plucky hearth
#

ok

#

soooo

#

my pc doesnt fucking install the newest nvidia driver properly

latent light
#

what graphics card

plucky hearth
#

gtx 1050 2gb

latent light
#

weird

#

also, updating graphics drivers isn't important as long as the driver you're already on is stable

#

I've been on the same one for over a year

crude creek
#

are you sure, i thought nvidia had like a secureity update with its drivers the past year

#

maybe im wrong

#

I thought mechanical keyboard is very tough until I smashed it just a few times

can a person access to your computer if he knows your IPv4 ip?

supple bane
#

Not access no

waxen vessel
#

Everyone can know you ip address

#

And there is no problem about it

lofty light
#

If they know your public IP that's real bad tbh

#

Don't give that out

#

If they know your local IP that's fine though

Restart the modem to reset the ip 🤓 (for my home)

you get Resident Evil 3 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint for free and Xbox game pass for 3 months if you buy a RX 5500XT which is only a $180 graphics card

twilit hill
lofty light
#

@latent light it's like I got division 2 with a 2600 which was almost the price of the game at launch

latent light
#

I'd buy the card, keep the games and sell the card for $150

#

that way I get 2 free games and Xbox game pass for only $30 lmao

twilit hill

#

I got Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 with my RX 580 last year lol

#

I want RE3

twilit hill

#

twilit hill
#

Yeah

#

I plan on moving in the future

#

Idk

opaque saddle
#

lmao i just realised i put too many weather sensors at my parents' house. like pretty much everything except for lightning sensor

#

temperature sensors, UV sensor, and the upcoming soil moisture sensor

supple bane
#

Why tho

opaque saddle
#

Just a hobby

#

Coz my dad was whinging about the nearest weather station isn’t accurate

supple bane
#

Fair

storm osprey
#

tell him tough luck pops

#

and peace out

opaque saddle
#

Like we got flash flooding and the nearest station have picked up 0mm

#

So I set up a weather station (currently it’s the third one, I’ve retired the older two) for him since then. And my mum was doing all the gardening stuff, might be useful for them.

storm osprey
#

what a lad

opaque saddle
#

But it’s quite sad tho. One day it went 16C above the monthly maximum temperatures and most of the crops are dead

storm osprey
#

"crops"?

opaque saddle
#

I meant the plants and veggies

storm osprey
#

"plants and veggies" i gotchu

opaque saddle
#

It was like 47C that day and went up 40s for the entire week

#

So I guess they can manage their hobbies as well as mine. A Win win for us

#

Does someone have suggestion for a good Wlan router? My family and I here in austria have a very bad internet provider with only about 1 Mbt/s download which makes it often a pain in the ass when you have to do lots of updates.

prime jasper
#

A router wont make your download speed faster

#

you need a new ISP

supple bane
#

yeah a router will only give an improvement if you need more range, more ethernet ports or your broadband is like gigabit<

#

it wont make your speeds faster

#

we are actually contemplating a high end router as we have a log cabin at the end of the back yard and only my laptop can get wifi up there

prime jasper
#

you have a log cabin you want to play vidya in? way to be rustic

supple bane
#

wat?

#

in english?

prime jasper
#

log cabins arent meant for gaymen

#

its supposed to be all natural hippy shit

my ps4 slim is way noisier than my new pc because of the spinning disc and the fan

#

Y'all are always saying how the new Xbox is ugly, imo it's a far improvement

prime jasper
#

I wonder why ps4 always had trouble with being silent, I almost never hear my Xbox one doing these jet engine sounds.

#

And I'm talking about the one from 2013, not the s or x

latent light
#

it's because the PS4 uses an awful blower style fan

#

similar to a laptop

#

Xbox One uses a open-air cooler that's a lot more effective

prime jasper
#

I see

That PS4 jet engine was on overdrive when Spiderman came out.

Did you get caught cheating?

If not it's a fairly long process dealing with clearing origin cache files and folders as well as temp files and such.

i do it to start new on my K/D ratios...lol

well your gonna have to clear you origin cashe

ive never done it so don't know how much origin holds in their cloud

wraith knoll
#

Origin cache is local data

sinful mantle
#

yeah

wraith knoll
#

Your online progression is not local

#

What I mean is to start at level 1 again

sinful mantle
#

well if you're looking for a fresh start your gonna have to clear youre machine and get a new origin account

#

oh i see

#

you might askorigin help desk

wraith knoll
#

I can't make another origin account unfortunately, I use one and only one and I have my other battlefield games on here

sinful mantle
#

yeah i can dig that

#

why not try origin access and run a new game?

wraith knoll
#

Because it would be the same account either way

#

So online progression will be the exact same

sinful mantle
#

yeah but you can still start fresh

#

on the game you own yes

wraith knoll
#

Origin access only gives you acess to the game, not to a new account

sinful mantle
#

not a new game to use?

#

like if you had a friend over you could run your account and friend could use origin access to play two games. im thinking

wraith knoll
#

I think I'll just get a cheap key for bf V and make a new account... Sigh

#

Nowadays you buy $40 games that don't even come with a "new game" button or feature... Nice

sinful mantle
#

yeah it sort of baffles me...i do know how to delete the game and start fresh though.

#

i think i do....lol

wraith knoll
#

Yea I think there is no way, and I think it is intended

sinful mantle
#

the cloud would be the only issue though like you said

wraith knoll
#

Yea, you have no access to deleting your online data since it is linked permanently to your account

#

I remember bf 4 has a reset stats button but even that does not set you back to level 1

sinful mantle
#

yeah i keep forgetting to reset my stats on bf4...thanks for reminding me...lol

#

it's be a bummer to have to buy a new game for that purpose...so you may be right that its not intended to reset to level 1

@molten bramble hahaha, I was just messing bro

I'll let you look that up

supple bane
#

How do you think you get windows onto a pc ?

#

It doesnt just appear on there yanno

#

Like some fairy came long, took a crap on your pc and poof it had windows

#

You have to install it of a storage device. That's either a CD or thumb drive

prime jasper
#

thats...exactly how it works now

#

its 2020

mild bough
#

@supple bane windows just appeared on my pc

#

I know what a floppy disk is.. but why can't you just download a Windows software off of the world wide web lmao

storm osprey
#

for a pre built

#

if you dont have an OS on your computer to navigate to the internet how do you expect to download anything?

mild bough
#

ohhhhhhhhhhh

supple bane
#

@mild bough how would you download it off the internet if it doesnt have windows in the first place

mild bough
#

but

storm osprey
#

and in the case you havent a second computer what would you download to to put it on a new computer?

mild bough
#

does that make windows a virus

prime jasper
#

oh god...what did I start

storm osprey
#

its always your fault killa

mild bough
#

since if the os installs itself

prime jasper
#

I know

mild bough
#

and does everything, it is technically a virus

supple bane
#

The os doesnt install its self lol

#

You download it via am external harddrive which has windows on

mild bough
#

yes

#

but

#

ohh

prime jasper
supple bane
storm osprey
#

the times a computer already has windows on it is if the manufacturer prebuilt the pc and installed it for you

#

lol could you imagine a pre built pc not including windows

#

is/was that ever a thing?

prime jasper
#

yes

#

got my first laptop like that

storm osprey
#

that sounds so sketchy

#

was it a cost saving option or did they actually tell you an OS wasnt included?

prime jasper
#

both

#

I selected the option because I wanted to load 7 myself

#

wait...thats wrong I wanted to try XP but it failed because lolnodrivers

#

did 7 anyway

#

good times

#

@prime jasper you cant @ everyone here but you can ask the question

#

@prime jasper ok my bad thanks

#

Looks like am finally going to get a gaming chair. So question is can anyone recommend one?

supple bane
#

unless your willing to spend 300-400 bucks on one, dont bother

#

get a really nice office chair

storm osprey
#

staples hyken

#

"gaming" chairs is a joke

supple bane
#

yeah, the only one id buy is a secret lab omega, because its the only one which is actually comfortable. but they are damn pricey and still probs wont be as comfy compared to an office chair

storm osprey
#

my fiance has the staples hyken and its super nice

#

commonly on sale for around 130 usd

supple bane
#

gaming chairs tho. are in general bad quality and arent really that comfortable,

storm osprey
#

the only feature i like from gaming chairs that isnt all that common in other chairs is adjustable arm rest height

violet plank

gaming chair and hot summers,have fun!

Origin for some reason slows my pc and Internet speed

Does anyone know how to fix it this issue ?

molten bramble
#

Anyone else have three (3) Samsung 27" Curved monitors? If so, have you mounted them on a stand? If yes, which? I'm having a hell of a time finding a stand that is high quality build construction that can support these side-by-side in a long curve, with a solid clamp to a desk surface. Most of the ones I have found barely accommodate 27" x 3 in roughly a straight line. Add the angle to the mix to achieve the curve, and it seems like a serious PITA. Thinking of maybe trying something like https://www.ergoexperts.com/products/innovative-staxx-triple-wide-monitor-mount?variant=16156435578926&currency=USD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp9aE7dbK5wIVy5yzCh24RwHXEAQYASABEgKxlPD_BwE which is supposedly built to accommodate 30" monitors, giving me a little play when I turn them inward. That's a $500 stand though, so I'd like to see if anyone else has a solution before I drop that kind of coin.

molten coral
#

A friend of mine has the Newstar FPMA-D700D3 he is really happy with it.

#

Also triple monitor 27"

molten bramble
#

Yeah, but those mount straight when side-by-side it seems like @molten coral and that's my big concern.

#

I'd have to do the math for it though to see if the 1290mm would be enough wiggle room.

molten bramble

@stoic sail Try turning off "origin overlay" once you get in a game.

@ZenWeasel#6262 thanks I'll try that

Glad to help

@molten bramble I ended up using three separate stands for mine

#

Was slightly more expensive but I have more peace of mind about them

molten bramble
#

@lofty light I bought three as well, but they're taking up far too much space and it's three points of failure (just had a gas piston go bad). So, I am trying to simply it.

lofty light
#

Ah fair enough then, I still prefer the three imo as my monitors are bloody expensive so if only one fails I don't feel as bad

storm osprey

damn, what a time we live in, you can get an iphone 11 for 700 msrp, and the cheapest samsung s20 is 1k msrp

opaque saddle

Still using my iPhone 6. Didn’t even look at the new phones

flint locust

1k for an s20 and its still gonna come packed with bloatware you cannot uninstall too

and not get software updates after 2 years

lofty light
#

When you could just get a OnePlus and be better off

storm osprey

the only reason i went with iphone11 over one plus was because the price difference was 100 bucks at the time i bought mine, and iphones get updates for 5ish years

lofty light

That's fair tbh

#

I've been eyeing the LG G8X ThinQ

storm osprey
#

what is that?

lofty light
#

A phone that comes with a case with a second screen built in

Basically a real early take on a dual screen phone but it's priced like a normal phone instead of the foldables

that would kill me

Windows Update was stuck on a "checking for updates" loop for 3 hours so I just turned it off and it did this

Now it doesn't boot into windows

Considering just removing the storage drive and putting a new one in

#

Would lose everything but it appears to be the only option

#

Stuck on this option and can't choose anything, that timer isn't moving either

If you can't get past that step sounds like it isn't a HDD issue

Windows is installed on the drive tho

Are you able to boot from a recovery drive?

I can enter BIOS

It booted into windows finally after restarting it a dozen times

Didn't you have a problem like this before?

latent light
#

No

#

Windows Update was stuck on a loop so I went to task manager and ended the task which didn't help so I turned computer off

And that's when it wouldn't let me boot into windows until now

Didn't really know what else to do if Windows Update is stuck

Where is the s11

storm osprey

hell i think my iphone 11 is around 720p

#

slightly above 720p

quaint topaz
#

The S20 starts at $1400 in the US haha

storm osprey
#

isnt it 1k?

#

s20+ is 1400 iirc

quaint topaz
#

yeah, referring to the Ultra. My bad

storm osprey
latent light
#

Wonder how much it will be with a plan

quaint topaz
storm osprey
#

yea like i said earlier, its crazy to think how iphone and galaxy phones somehow swapped places

#

at least the s20 has specs that back the price though

quaint topaz
#

At least you're paying for a significant upgrade.

latent light
#

iPhone will always be faster than Android tho because of their CPUs and operating system

quaint topaz
#

The price is still crazy but yeah you can opt for the cheaper version

latent light
#

A13 chip in the iPhone 11 has over 20% faster single-core performance than any Android phone

storm osprey

it just blows my mind how people will get this phone and have no reason for the specs

#

latent light
#

On top of that, iOS is well optimized

quaint topaz
#

I sure hope Google really does something spectacular with the Google Pixel this year. I was really considering buying a Pixel 4 but it was really disappointing.

storm osprey
#

same

quaint topaz
#

At this point i'd rather get a Pixel 3 instead of the 4

storm osprey
#

easily

#

werent the upgrades like minimal?

prime jasper
#

pixels are like fine wine

#

each update makes it better

quaint topaz
#

Same cameras but the Pixel 4 has an extra 16mp camera

storm osprey
#

i do like the size of pixels

quaint topaz
#

Pixels are smooth.

#

I tried an iPhone 11 for a bit and I actually liked it, but it'll take me ages to get used to the iOS ecosystem

quick locust
#

My phone is 1280x720

storm osprey
#

honestly, if ppi is around 300 you can hardly see the pixels anyway

quick locust
#

I don't really like how iPhone 11 looks

#

But meh

storm osprey
#

the notch?

violet plank
#

get the xiaomi mi 10 pro instead of the new samsung ultra,almost same specs,half the price,and better looks haHAA

quick locust
#

Nah the cameras

storm osprey
#

ahh

quaint topaz
#

Only reason I envy iPhones is because they get free Google Photos backup at full file size. Whereas Google Photos on Android only backs up the files in smaller resolution unless you pay for an upgrade plan

storm osprey
#

lol have you seen s20 camera?

quick locust
#

Yeah lol

storm osprey
#

that shit looks stupid

quick locust
#

My samsung just has one rear and one front

violet plank
#

that's why i say look at the xiaomi 10 pro

#

nice cam setup

storm osprey
#

is that the banned phone?

violet plank
#

no

#

that would be huawei

#

for the us i guess

storm osprey
#

yea that sounds right

violet plank
#

only place it is banned

storm osprey
#

reason i went iphone was because android auto sucks

quick locust
#

My phone is decent just a bit slow for a 2019 phone

storm osprey
#

like 1/4 of the time it wouldnt work

quaint topaz
#

You can still easily get Huawei phones but they don't use any Google services

violet plank
#

yeah,android auto needs some work

storm osprey
#

almost every time it did connect i would have to wait like 10 minutes before i could use voice commands

quick locust

My phone is around a note 5 in performance i think

violet plank

tbh i had some troubles with iphone and car mode as well

iphone 9/se2 is due to release

in mid march

iphone 8 with iphone 11 internals

like cpu and main camera

storm osprey

an a13 and 4gb of ram but just iphone 8 layout?

#

id imagine its gonna be cheaper

A13 and 3GB

violet plank
#

a13 main cam and 3 gig ram

storm osprey
#

ah

violet plank
#

399$

storm osprey
#

pretty sure 11 has 4gb right?

violet plank
#

yep

storm osprey
#

for 400 bucks for those specs thats pretty damn good

violet plank
#

well

#

they screen

#

isn't that good

#

but ok for that price

storm osprey
#

like, "its not oled not good" or its actually not good?

violet plank
#

same specs as the iphone 8

#

low res

quick locust
#

Mine cost around that for 32 GB, 3 GB ram and 7885 cpu

#

Android tho

storm osprey
#

iphone 8 has same ppi as iphone 11

violet plank
#

too bad it still has those 2 big bezels

quick locust
#

I like bezels

violet plank
#

nah,11 has higher

quick locust
#

I touch everything when the screen goes to edge

violet plank
#

8 is like 720p,11 1080p

storm osprey
#

11 isnt 1080p

#

that was a big complaint

violet plank
#

really like the home button on the 8 tho

#

almost 1080p

storm osprey
#

its barely above 720p

molten coral
#

tbh it's kinda stupid that the iphone 11 isn't 1080p

violet plank
#

and you can watch 1080p youtube vids

#

you can't do that with an iphone 8

storm osprey
#

yea same exact ppi

violet plank
#

but lower resolution

#

ppi is not the same

molten coral
storm osprey
#

imo ppi matters way more than resolution

#

thats why 1080p 27" monitors look like shit

violet plank
#

everything above 300ppi is enough

#

you can't see any pixels anymore

storm osprey
#

thats what i said

violet plank
#

rest just consumes lot's of power

quick locust
#

I dunno my ppi

#

1280x720 5.0 inch

storm osprey
#

like i feel a bit miffed that my iphone 11 isnt even HD, but i cant even see pixels so what does that really matter?

violet plank
#

99% won't see a difference if you show them a 11 and 11pro max for example

#

for ppi that is

quick locust
#

I probably won't either

storm osprey
violet plank
#

colors on the oled are a bit more vivid ofc,and true blacks

storm osprey
#

hell people dont even know what that means

quick locust
#

But I barely noticed going 768p to 1440p on a 26 inch so my eyesight is probably not 20/20 lol

storm osprey
#

my fiance got the iphone xs just because it was smaller, she didnt know she had an oled display

violet plank
#

yep lul

molten coral
storm osprey
#

and tbf, unless you were A/B the phones knowing there was a difference and what to look for, you wouldnt really notice

quick locust
#

I need to calculate my ppi

storm osprey
#

i just did for you

violet plank
#

you should lower your resolution on high end phones anyways,saves a lot of battery

storm osprey
#

its the last screen i posted

quick locust
#

Ah

#

Thanks

#

So yeah around 300

violet plank
#

samsung for example has not enabled it's highest resolution by default

molten coral
#

nope

#

default out the box is 1480 x 720

storm osprey
#

doesnt the s20 do 1440p 60hz or 1080p 120hz?

molten coral
#

1440p 120hz

storm osprey
#

those are the specs, but the videos i watched said that to get 120hz its 1080p

violet plank
#

really like the design of the camera setup (same specs as the s20)

#

s20 looks ugly af

molten coral
#

chinese brand

violet plank
#

i'm using xiaomi since over a year,zero problems

quick locust
#

I have a ROG phone II but the screen stopped working so I got this samsung instead even tho there's a big difference between the two

storm osprey
violet plank
#

big difference if you use the global rom compared to the chinese one (which you don't get outside of china)

molten coral
#

can't watch the vid as i'm at work

storm osprey
#

yea you dont get 1440p and 120hz at the same time

molten coral
#

mhh interesting

quick locust
#

I wish my rog phone still worked

molten coral
#

oh well 1440p 60hz isn't that bad either

#

also that is the normal s20 and not the S20 ultra

storm osprey
violet plank
#

the xiaomi 10 pro has the same specs as the samsung s20 ultra (tiny differences) at half the price

#

it even has the samsung 108mp main camera sensor lul

storm osprey
#

idk what i would pick between 1080/120hz or 1440/60

#

probably 1080/120hz

molten coral
#

1440p/60 for me

violet plank
#

btw high hz displays drain your battery pretty hard

storm osprey
#

i imagine 1440p does as well

#

or is it at least less than 120hz?

violet plank
#

you can choose

storm osprey
#

like in this case, would 1440/60 use more battery than 1080/120?

violet plank
#

both

#

uh,good question

molten coral
#

I would assume it's around the same

queen field
#

hey all, is there a way to join a anti cheat server in bf5? Or a player made server like bf4? I'd like to play in peace without chinese aimbotters in 3/4 of the matches im in

storm osprey
#

i would assume pushing more pixels would be taxing

molten coral
#

I've my note 8 also on 1440p and I can easily last a day without charge

violet plank
#

you can do your own server

#

but options are limited

molten coral
#

the S20 even has a bigger battery

queen field
#

@violet plank possible to join a public server with working anti cheat and match making? or at least working anti cheat

violet plank
#

nope

storm osprey
#

how does 865 compare to 855(+) and a13?

queen field
#

dang

violet plank
#

a13 is way faster than anything else

queen field
#

oh 865 is out? wtf

storm osprey
#

on s20

violet plank
#

865 is around 20% faster than the 855

#

more important thing is the qualcomm x55 modem

queen field
#

pretty negligible at this point since 845 release @storm osprey

I hope to see a in depth review of both average battery life benchmark (without ridiculous settings like 0% backlight and airplane mode of course) and colour accuracy

#

did they do a die shrink?

#

or we're still in 10nm

storm osprey
#

i think its silly people are pushing 5g

violet plank
#

that's the shit thing on iphones since the 8/X,crap intel modems

queen field
#

mmh

#

its ok let them be haha

#

wait a minute

#

we have to pay extra to own a sd855/sd865 because of 5g?

violet plank
#

with low LTE areas you get shit reception

storm osprey
#

isnt 5g only available in certain downtown areas and super temperamental

violet plank
#

nah,5g is a seperate chip

#

the x55 chip

#

it's all in one

#

2g-5g

storm osprey
#

i saw a video suggesting that 5d can barely go through walls right now

#

on top of that most 5g speeds are only like 20% faster than good 4g

violet plank
#

depends if it's mm wave or sub

#

mm wave is fast af,but almost nowhere available

#

sub is like a bit faster than lte+

storm osprey
#

isnt that what gets the 5g speeds though?

violet plank
#

and yes,ranges are very poor

storm osprey
#

kind of misleading

#

but i guess thats not surprising

violet plank
#

it's for dense city's

#

will take a few years,like 4g did

storm osprey
#

yea thats the point

#

like i see people complain iphone 11 doesnt have 5g

#

and then i did some research and im like.. it doesnt even matter

violet plank
#

my complaint are the shitty intel modems haHAA

#

the iphone 12 setup will get the qualcomm x55 as well

#

at my home that's like 2 bars more

storm osprey
#

hmm maybe ill upgrade if they go notchless too

violet plank
#

me 2

#

and fingerprint again

which is 2021

#

well both

#

small notch and fingerprint

storm osprey
#

as bad as it is, i dont use finger print, face recognition, or passwords on my phone

if the rumors come true it could be like 1/3 as it is now

is there some workaround through the port that will give them access to my banking without a password?

violet plank
#

physical access = debug mode and free access to anything

#

ofc you need to connect it to a notebook or something

storm osprey
#

still dont understand how they bypass a password there though

violet plank
#

you get full access to your phone

#

easiest way is install a invisible app that reads out all your app passwords

#

but i doubt it's worth it haHAA

My phone also isn't locked but you can just do banking stuff? I mean the banking app is secured.

storm osprey
#

lol yea all my money goes to pets and games

if i can readout your password,how secure is your banking app ? 😉

molten coral
#

violet plank
#

use faceid or fingerprint for that kind of apps

molten coral
#

also how would you readout my password?

violet plank
#

gimme your phone

storm osprey
#

molten coral
#

I mean my password isn't saved anywhere

violet plank
#

if you have physical access without any lock you can debug it

In 2018 in Norway the price was like 400-500€

latent light
#

Some people will still pay $300 for a 7700K simply because they dont want to change motherboards

storm osprey
#

latent light
#

Even though you can get a R5 3600 and B450 for $300
