Apparently this controller now works on the Deck so I may use it on that and use my Xbox One controller on Windows
but then I have to worry about battery life ;-; cause the Ultimate controller has a charging dock i keep it on

theres one thing i actually dislike
the configuration utility to remap buttons etc on the controller is win10/win11 only

olive badge
According to rtings.com the g pro x super light seems to have less sensor deviation at 1600dpi than 800dpi. I do find those tests hard to believe but that’s what he reported
Obviously it’ll vary from sensor to sensor and mouse to mouse though
narrow epoch
1600 seems to be the sweet spot for everything 🙂
But people are used to their 800/400
olive badge
Yeah maybe. I mean when I had a g305 and I ran it at 1600 dpi I could feel the sensor deviation. Especially when I moved the mouse quickly. But I don’t notice that with the g pro x super light. I’m assuming there are either individual differences with the sensors or the sensor is just better in the super light. But it also might come down to preference. I’m not sure
narrow epoch
Well you want to turn off automatic windows mouse acceleration for all mice for a constant correct sens

It’s not an acceleration issue though. It feels more like randomness

I just had an interview for a professorship. So if I get it I’ll reward myself with an overpriced pc. Lol
orchid prism
Had a maths professor who needed a PC with double 1080s (back when they were the shit) for university calculations - And so that his son could game on it when he wasn't using it.
The biggest challenge was to help them with pulling a Linus - Where the PC was in one room, and the kid was supposed to be able to use it from another room with like 15m cables. I honestly don't remember if we ever solved that one properly - this was before we had all those expensive adaptor boxes that Linus uses.
But the uni paid for it all as a work expense, because he genuinely did need the cards 😄

You clearly need some high powered cards for AI. Just look at ChatGPT 😉
Can AI be taught philosophy?
olive badge
Oof. That question triggers me. I just had a student upload a writing assignment on the topic of AI using chatgpt (I’m fairly confident at least)
I almost gave them full credit just because it made me laugh
orchid prism
😄
Someone did that the other day here in Denmark as a test to see if teachers would catch on - They didn't, so it's kind of blown up as another media scare. "zomg AI has broken the education systems"
olive badge
Lol yeah. There’s a big thread about this at my university. We’re coming up with ways to combat this
At the end of the day I don’t really care because the students who want to go on an study philosophy more formally and professionally won’t be able to hack it if they relied on chatgpt
bleak pike
Can't say we've met a professor here before unless I'm mistaken your position?
bleak pike
Ah
trim rock
Eh give it some more years and I'm sure AI will take over

Hopefully I’ll be a professor in the fall but I teach students now

Combatting AI in education is the wrong approach
AI is a tool that expands a student's capacity to communicate their ideas
trim rock
Just you wait soon AI will be teaching us
barren pewter
Combatting AI in education is the wrong approach
It doesn’t really result in students doing what they’re supposed to do
Quite the opposite
bleak pike
Oh wait no he was head of computer science
vapid lintel
It's like 30 years ago when they told kids in school that they can't use calculators on tests because "what, are you going to walk around 24/7 with a calculator in your pocket?"
Well, yes
olive badge
Lol. Yeah. I don’t really care if students used AI to express their own thoughts. Perhaps they just can’t write effectively
The problem is that the outputs of chatgpt aren’t their own thoughts
And again I don’t really care. If a student doesn’t want to think they don’t have to
vapid lintel
Meh, it was their thought process that lead to the prompt with resulted in the bot's answer
olive badge
I tend to cater to students who actually care
Not always
I just gave a final
And I inputted a question and it gave a sensible answer. If they do that on the exam it has nothing to do with their thoughts
Now if they edit it to reflect their own thoughts that’s something else. And I’m not necessarily opposed to that
bleak pike
"write me a dissertation on the potential effects chatgpt in education works"
vapid lintel
Sure but that's not the student's fault, that's a question that doesn't require individual consideration
The student should be commended for recognizing that the question could be responded with a new version of "let me google that for you"
vapid lintel
Agreed
olive badge
I see it more as personal mental and creative development
vapid lintel
And that component has now been vaulted into a new era
olive badge
Yeah. I’m definitely fine with technological help
vapid lintel
I don't envy being a teacher who has to reconstruct their entire educational process to account for this massively disruptive new technology
olive badge
Yeah. I suspect teachers are going to use more traditional oral exams. Which sounds like a nightmare to be honest
bleak pike
Yeah. I’m definitely fine with technological help
I relied on grammarly haha
olive badge
Yeah exactly
That’s fine by me
But you still have to think about what you want to say
bleak pike
Mmhmm
olive badge
If that isnt undermined I say use tech
vapid lintel
I do think that if a student uses a piece of technology to derive an answer and the answer is wrong that they should be doubly penalized; both for getting the answer wrong and for using the technology incorrectly that resulted in a wrong answer
High risk high reward 😛

Computing isn't hard it's just tedious af
But tbh dissertation are rough
Which almost all degrees do here.
narrow epoch
Computing isn't hard it's just tedious af
Hence why ChatGPT should be championed
bleak pike
But also hard is subjective
narrow epoch
It gives the students a mental break that could be put towards something else
bleak pike
For me personally I struggled a lot in programming.
narrow epoch
Rather than spending time writing and thinking they can proofread what they have created through ChatGPT
And they can use that extra mental break gained on something more productive
olive badge
Yeah. My own perspective is that I don’t care what students do with their time. But if they’d like to continue to pursue their own academic work obviously chatgpt is not helpful for that. if you can’t have a sensible conversation about a topic in whatever discipline you’re not gonna go further than being a middling undergrad. Which is fine by me. I personally don’t care if they become genuine experts or not. It’s their life to live
bleak pike
Meanwhile my tutor was a judgemental prick who praised students who came in 8am to catch up on work.
Which btw they didn't
narrow epoch
The main point is the student shouln't copy from ChatGPT unless they are fully proofreading and understanding it
Which I'm sure 95% of students do anyway

poweramp is fully fully gesture based you don't have to necessarily look at what you're doing
once you get used to it it's perfect for navigating
fading spade
Same here
But if an app can do Material You theming then I use that instead
Yeh
Pretty much
Metro is an open source version of a paid app on Google Play Store....lol
rancid hearth
so for example
rancid hearth
rancid hearth
you can disable any of the buttons on this screen with skins
simple wraith
Why would you not use Spotify
rancid hearth
idk I haven't played around with making skins
fading spade
Why would you not use Spotify
Cause Spotify is shit for local music files
rancid hearth
this is the luminous black skin, has tons of settings
rancid hearth
Why would you not use Spotify
because screw streaming
fading spade
This is odd
Metro has an option to bypass the Android Media Widget
rancid hearth
fading spade
Java based output?
fading spade
Idk wtf any of those settings do
In your previous screenshot
rancid hearth
change the audio renderer
similar to wasapi and direct sound and asio on windows
for example
fading spade
What's "AAudio"?
rancid hearth
the native android audio protocol
fading spade
similar to wasapi and direct sound and asio on windows
Wasabi :')
fading spade
similar to wasapi and direct sound and asio on windows
Idk these either :')
Is it like Pipewire or PulseAudio on Linux?
rancid hearth
yes it's like that
fading spade
Ahah
fading spade
Dafuq am I looking at
So many sliders and dials
rancid hearth
it's a parametric equalizer
rancid hearth
it also has a bar equalizer
fading spade
Oh
I'm more familiar with those
rancid hearth
a parametric eq does the same thing but it gives you more options
for example Q value changes how tight or wide the curve of the eq changes
fading spade
This setting with low res album art would be horrible ....
rancid hearth
you can also assign eq profiles to certain songs and devices
and it'll swap to it when you use said device or play certain song
fading spade
Wack
I really hate this one xd
Oh... The color slides upwards to show song progress
rancid hearth
you can also have poweramp show by default on the lockscreen when playing music
without having to unlock your phone
rancid hearth
I mean the full poweramp player
fading spade
Oh
It pulls a Google Map on you?
rancid hearth
if you want to change album or playlist
poweramp also supports bypassing androids music notification system
you can also force keep the notification so that way it stays there
you can also close the app in the app tray and poweramp will continue playing music
fading spade
Metro does this too
Xd
simple wraith
because screw streaming
Wym? I download all of my music on Spotify
Spotify is the top dog for a reason
The AI is fantastic
rancid hearth
ah ignorance is bliss
rancid hearth
first of all not all music is on spotify
rancid hearth
second music on Spotify is only 320kbps ogg vorbis
simple wraith
Don’t care
My headphones were 300 dollars I’m not gonna get anything more out of it
rancid hearth
third nothing is stopping Spotify/the artist from removing music from the platform
simple wraith
Of course there isn’t
It’s their music/company
That’s how it should be
But again if it happens, there’s importing
It’s literally the best
For $10 a month or whatever it is
rancid hearth
fourth Spotify pays the artists almost nothing, buying music from Bandcamp or even physically gives the artist more revenue which matters if it's a small artist you'd like to support
simple wraith
If ur a weirdo audiophile I understand
Yeah don’t care
It’d reality
I support artists I truly love by buying merch directly from them
It’s much more profitable than their music (excluding tours)
rancid hearth
fifth the UI on Spotify is very low quality and hard to use quickly and efficiently
rancid hearth
compared to nice local players it is
simple wraith
Bro anyone who uses local players isn’t paying for fucking music 🤣🤣
fading spade
I also agree that Spotify UI is garbage
rancid hearth
It depends on the person where you get your music from, but there are tons of services that have tons of music for sale from small and large artists
fading spade
Bro anyone who uses local players isn’t paying for fucking music 🤣🤣
Every song I have locally is paid from Bandcamp
Except 2 of them
And one is free from the portal 2 game files... But technically not free cause I paid for the game
rancid hearth
sixth Spotify is nowhere near as feature rich
rancid hearth
and if you really want to say spotify's reccomended music is a feature, lastfm scrobbling does the same thing and is supported on every player local or not
bleak pike
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb
simple wraith
I mean you guys listen to fucking weeb music
So no wonder you don’t use Spotify like regular people
slim token
rather pull out my ear drums by hand than to listen to "regular" music
fading spade
No one:
Valorant: "hola" "hello" "hola" "hola hola"

simple wraith
It introduces you to an insane amount of new music that you’ll love
Like
I wouldn’t have listened to almost 7,000 different artists if I wasn’t using Spotify
simple wraith
No doubt it counts all two or three
Honestly I enjoyed Spotify a lot but I really had an insane appreciation of it from the end of year review thing
Made me realize how much I 1. use and enjoy the service I pay so little for and 2. how much new music I’ve found this year (this has been a big year for me personally too)

That is probably a bit better organized

Has anyone got a profile for gta 5 flying on the 60he

Has anyone got a profile for gta 5 flying on the 60he
Wootabase might - Isn't it just the driving one?
Haven't played GTA in a year or two at this point.

Unable to fly because i havn't got number pad

Unable to fly because i havn't got number pad
Isn't this possible to rebind in the game though? For flying
hazy dawn
Yeah I can but just awkward so was wondering if anyone has a ready profile that was handy for flying
orchid prism
Ackward how? You got a 60% keyboard. Welcome to having to adapt. 😄
hazy dawn
Like wsad works but only to lift off i can't throttle forward and most other keys are being used for other things in the game and true gotta adapt
orchid prism
Set up a separate profile for flying and toggle it on and off while flying.
And make sure essential keys like EJECT are bound.
hazy dawn
Ok ill try thanks man

Both for hardware and games
Xbox is online only?
Wot
Ye no
Xbox isn't always online
My sisters boyfriends worked just fine offline when I set it up when he moved in.
Never heard of that but I don't own one
Eh? Same for ps? Unless you mean disc wise? Wot
orchid prism
It's like pre-loading on Steam. You always have to log in and decrypt everything.
I misread that slightly 😄
bleak pike
No idea but a lot of Reddit threads seem to say they work fine, just to play without a disc you need to connect at least once.
Again no idea
But afaik there are Xbox series X specific discs you can get
I mean if I had to choose I'd deffo go with a ps5
terse atlas
I had a day 1 PS5 and sold it on day 3 unopened.
Couldn't justify EUR 70 per game
Gamepass all the way
small comet
im personally also a gamepass fan
especially cause i usually just cancel it when i dont have games to play on it
hot spire
ketamine works good with everything in my experience
small comet
well i can afford games
but
i still like saving a buck
or well
usually 40-60 bucks
small comet
its only 40bucks
but old world isnt on gamepass
no?
4
and no one is saying a game cant cost 40-70eur
for first timers usually yes
anyway the point of gamepass isnt to never buy games
no?
im not even sure if it ever was 1buck
i think 4bucks or 3bucks or so the first few months
glad we had this constructive discussion
depends on the game?
young hill
To be honest for the price of 2-3 new games gamepass(year calculation)does not sound like a bad idea so long as you are willing to accept not owning said games and being allowed to play only what gamepass has
small comet
you dont own the other games either
young hill
Okay legally not
small comet
the only games you really own forver is GoG games
young hill
Oh you mean drm
young hill
Well course not
That would silly
But you own the privilege to play it as you please
Sure the a barrier or difficulties when it comes to online games though
small comet
But you own the privilege to play it as you please
yesnt
if steam ever vanishes the drm needs to be cracked
small comet
same for basically any other way of getting games nowadays
young hill
Which honesty just sucks
That developers when game get closed do not want to unlock them to be 3rd partied
small comet
i love GoG and buying games on there
exactly for the reason of no DRM
i can just play these games as long as they run on a windows version i can either run or virtualize
young hill

Okay so then why would a publisher delete something that can make them money
barren pewter
when the cost of supporting a game far exceeds new sales
or you no longer have rights to music used in and don't have the people nor cost justification to do so
yeah
GTA IV had that happen
update got pushed that removed copyrighted music iirc
barren pewter
Right they removed the music not the game
and if there is not enough of a playerbase nor sales to justify doing so, they just delist
less things to support
simple wraith
Ahh so basically shit games 😆

yeah
hate to break it to you
some games are really fucking good
it's just that no one is actually playing them a decade later
simple wraith
Oh yes I can lol
barren pewter
so in those cases, no reason to update a game, when delisting is easier
barren pewter
or go into any social science
and realise how little we know about ourselves

no
