[vivid vine]

I mean at least they are not screwing over customers

[gusty kiln]

yea

[vagrant pagoda]

no

[tropic nacelle]

Couldn't imagine having a micro usb mouse these days.

Hail usb c, makes life so much simpler (even with its faults)

[vagrant pagoda]

i wish there was more host side c support

[frozen ingot]

I find the logitech gpw solution with micro-usb bearable, and I have a passionate hatred for the port

[empty wren]

Logitech at least added supports for the cable

[vagrant pagoda]

there still isnt a type c only hub

[frozen ingot]

yeah those prongs that keeps it stable goes a long way

[vagrant pagoda]

or even one with more than 2 c ports

[empty wren]

I think this is also the case with powerbanks

[frozen ingot]

I would still prefer it being usb-c but this solution at least works

[empty wren]

Most of them still have micro USB despite even coming with a USB c cable

[frozen ingot]

the xiaomi powerbank I bought like 2 years ago now has one usb-c and two usb-a

[empty wren]

Magnetic pins make more sense on a mouse in my eyes

[vagrant pagoda]

the only thing there is, which i have, it the thunderbold hubs

but they dont work with usb hosts

[empty wren]

I guess some power bank companies are making some progress

[vagrant pagoda]

also its built backwords

the power input is on the same side as the output ports

because it ment to be used as a dock

[empty wren]

😵‍💫

That cable bend on the accessories

Speaking of cables have you guys seen that cable you can cut

[vagrant pagoda]

you can cut any cable

[empty wren]

And then open a latch on the connector side to reattach it

[empty wren]

Fair

But said cable was purposely split up in sections

[vagrant pagoda]

but why

[empty wren]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can see it being useful though if the cable gets abused some amount

You can cut off a section where there is a tear and have a working cable again without too much time spent on it

If it is like a dock probably will not be abused much, a phone cable gets hella abused

Only issue is one day the user will run out of cable😵‍💫

[tropic nacelle]

I loved my sidewinder x8 mouse for that, it had a charging puck which contained a lightweight cable that stuck under it with magnets.

Truly was ahead of its time, I miss that mouse it was a bargain when j got it.

[empty wren]

Nice it is a shame it is not an industry standard

[tropic nacelle]

I'm just happy with my lamzu that the cable given is incredibly light weight and has a molded plug for angling the cable up where it plugs in which ensures it doesn't drag.

Helps the battery life is ridiculously good in my experience, I get way over a week whereas my g pro or razer viper ultimate would die much sooner even with RGB off

[empty wren]

I wonder whatever happened to photonwire

[empty wren]

I do not think I can ever get by with a wireless mouse, in time the battery will decay enough that the mouse is unusable, some mice I knew have rechargeable batteries, but for wireless I like what razer did with mamba hyperflux

[tropic nacelle]

Photonwire what is that?

[tropic nacelle]

Never heard of it or seen it, I take it that's the cable aspect then?

[empty wren]

Yep cable mod

I think they did drops like final mouse

[tropic nacelle]

Looks pretty slick, I can't go back to wired though personally.

[crisp granite]

mhm

are they still floating about used?

I'd love to scoop one up tbh

[short knoll]

yo did anyone get the snack bag?

i’ve been waiting for 2 months and it keeps getting back ordered

[empty wren]

Are you sure they are even available

[short knoll]

i bought them like a year ago

or preorder

[empty wren]

Ah okay then do this

[e-mail]

[short knoll]

alright

[empty wren]

Send them that order number

And explain the situation

[short knoll]

ty ty

[empty wren]

Probably I guess

Never understood the need for these drops any who besides artificial scarcity

[manic beacon]

my wooting is the last thing I need to complete the setup 😈

[fair gull]

yikes an i9

[latent mural]

Sheesh

[misty saffron]

yikes an i9

[shadow minnow]

Way worse than 12900k if you ask me

Though even then especially since it’s not 4090 should have just gotten 12600k, unless it’s for productivity as well which it might be

Where amd isn’t too good rn

[pale sigil]

Hahaha no bully

[pale sigil]

Ah, a portable heater

Tis needed these days

[shadow minnow]

Great combination with 12900k too

[pale sigil]

12900k was kinda shit irrc

Powerful but kinda poo

[shadow minnow]

I mean yes but better than 11900k

[fair gull]

that emote just looks like pepe is sucking d

[pale sigil]

Well, if ain't yours that's for sure.

[fair gull]

thank jesus it isnt

[wintry gust]

i would go for a 4090 for just 300$ more tbh

[wintry gust]

well i have a 4090 with a 10600k at 5ghz

in 4k ofc

https://www.reuters.com/business/chatgpt-owner-openai-projects-1-billion-revenue-by-2024-sources-2022-12-15/

Honestly

If ChatGPT goes to become a paid service, like they are saying it might since it's a research trial currently

I'd pay for it assuming it's affordable

It's kinda insane how good it is

[wheat plume]

Orange Pi boards: $100+ with no wifi built in?

2 ssd slots though..hek yeah

[empty wren]

Check

https://www.rpilocator.com

[wheat plume]

Im aware ;-;

Luckily, Pi 400's seem easy to get

[empty wren]

I saw quite a few available yesterday

Pi 4s pi 3s

Pi zero 2 w

[wheat plume]

Yeah but for how much?

[empty wren]

Whatever stock price is

[wheat plume]

oo, these can run Android

[empty wren]

They do not scalp

[wheat plume]

amazon laughs nervously

180 for a pi4 with 8gb

[empty wren]

Amazon is filled with scalpers

[wheat plume]

yep

[empty wren]

This does not look like a scalped prices

Though I do wish a cm4 with wifi and less than 8gb was available

[wheat plume]

oh man....they use Numix theme.... thats a theme I havent heard of since like 5 years

its a good theme though

got bored of it though since it was the best one to use back then

[reef tundra]

Raspberry moment

[empty wren]

They are so scalped panda

[reef tundra]

you still call me panda?

[empty wren]

Okay

Pincus it is then

Did you turn into a fighter pilot

[frank thunder]

AAA right after I bought a 3 A+ the 4 becomes available

😭

[empty wren]

What are you using the 3A+ for

Cuz unless you need more ram 3a and 3a+ are quite powerful

Probably explains why the pi zero 2w basically is always sold out cuz it has the cpu power of a 3 but at half the price

[vagrant pagoda]

2w is popular for handhelds

[ashen spindle]

eye finity apparently fixes the multi screen power draw btw @astral haven which I find very hilarious if true

[tropic nacelle]

Eyefinity, that still a thing? Wow that's from so long ago.

That just says it's abysmal drivers then which isn't a good look, proper rushed it seems

[ashen spindle]

uhh, wouldn't say its abysmal drivers if there is a singular issue that causes higher idle powerdraw but sure

that seems a bit excessive

[tropic nacelle]

Maybe abysmal is the wrong word, it's just video, multi monitor and idle should really be easy automated tests by this point before drivers release.

To not catch it is just bad and to not nip it in the bud on reviews and say no this is a bug we fixing it, instead saying it's expected behaviour is silly

[ashen spindle]

what if it was something that was caught later and not an issue earlier on

also why do you think they are saying its expected behaviour, they did come out and said they are working on a fix to reviewers

[tropic nacelle]

But that's why you have automated tests before tagging up haha.

Pretty sure it was TPU had a bit asking about it and their response was that, I'm now second guessing myself so this could be wrong.

[ashen spindle]

in the LTT review it say AMD told them its a known issue

also what if they do have automated testing and it did pop up but only when it was too late to have it fixed for review

not like you can full test that and be certain with pre production cards

[tropic nacelle]

Ok it wasn't TPU, hmm if I'm wrong which I accept I could be then that is better rather than then saying it's not a bug.

They should be able to test with production cards though and finished samples should behave the same as they need to test those anyway so I'd be shocked if they didn't have access while making changes.

Just poor QA process either by setup or rushed.

[ashen spindle]

I mean what if something else gets fixed and that causes it as a chain reaction

do you want to delay reviews and shipping for idle power of multi screen setups being bit higher?

I take buggy idle power all day over the 4090/4080 cards having v bios issues that cause black screens because the display adapter is shit

[tropic nacelle]

They aren't mutually exclusive though that's why you do automated tests.

There could be other bugs, they were either happy to ship known bugs or they failed to catch it. Either way it looks rushed.

Not saying Nvidia don't have issues, they have all had issues over the years I've used both non exclusively and experienced bugs on both but it still doesn't excuse things as it's a very bad Impression on reviews so it looks bad for them

[ashen spindle]

and yet I would still recommend it over a 40 series if someone asks me right now what to upgrade to lmfao

lower performance > having to tell someone how to upgrade vbios when the card wont post

[gusty kiln]

wait what is this whole vbios with 40 series?

[ashen spindle]

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5411/

started with the NFS game I think, the cards can have some issue or can even start to just not post when booting up so gl if you dont have an igpu

[gusty kiln]

damn'

casuals are already scared of updating mobo bios

can't imgaine a gpu bios

[reef patrol]

Hmm? VBIOS upgrades are even safer than motherboards.

What are y'all smoking.

[ashen spindle]

safer yes but even less known

[gusty kiln]

yeah from a casual perspective

[reef patrol]

Easy to add to either windows Update or nVidia/AMD suites as part of an updated driver.

[gusty kiln]

gotta clear old stock

[manic beacon]

I had a family friend who was really into crypto and since everything started tanking he was getting rid of all his shit. I got a really good deal on some of the gpus he used in his miners

Bagged it for $700

...

mb

[manic beacon]

☝🏾

your best guess

[vagrant pagoda]

How about that 4090 HOF

Dual 12VHPWR

But still "666" w

[shadow minnow]

Sounds like a plan to afford uni

[ashen spindle]

my god it actually works just not in games

the 4ghz was not a joke

those clocks are in blender

4ghz front end lmfao

its from someone from the C&C website, so probably going to get an article after some more testing

so ironic that in non gaming N31 seems to go up insanely high lol

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean like cpus?

[ashen spindle]

I mean for the fact that its a gaming arch and not compute focused like cdna

[sharp badger]

My DDR5 order is delayed until the 30th 🥲

Also the new AMD cards look good

Just wierd with the switching MHz in different games

[reef patrol]

Ugh... Oxygen 13 broke alarms during DND

[shadow minnow]

Oof

[crimson wigeon]

Why would you want to be disturbed by such things when you say you don't want disturbances exckdeeee

[reef patrol]

I kind of want my alarms to break DND 😄

I just don't want fucking phonecalls or app pings at 3AM

[wheat plume]

An email warning about spam ended up in my spam folder

[empty wren]

As it should be

Camera is a pos of course

But good specifications

You mean binning

I wonder if pixel 7 is any good

[misty saffron]

they really went full apple on the back

like cmon

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean it as a 8gen2 and 165hz for 500 bucks

something has to suff3er

[empty wren]

Yes it does

Ltpo is on quite a few phones already

Huh

Not that expensive

Probably same level as Zenfone 9

And ltpo on em goes as low as 10hz

My last phone lasted 4-5 years

[empty wren]

Oh

I feel like that would interfere

With nfc

Not sure if wireless charging would suffer

[pale sigil]

@shadow minnow @crisp granite btw I tried the MacBook Pro and MacBook air, I genuinely hated them and the touchpad.

Osx mostly though, but overall I enjoyed the MacBook air more.

[crisp granite]

...

what did you not like specifically, apart from the trackpad?

to me it's the best I've used in a laptop

hating the OS is kind of a blanket statement
some of it irritates me, but compared to windows, it just feels better to use imo

except next to none of the fucking terminal commands I remember from the intel days work because...ARM

[empty wren]

Wow free public transaction

I see

I use nfc for payments, no Cashback though

Since Android beam died

[empty wren]

More like intellectual property thief

[solar hinge]

next time, just tell him to bugger off 😛

[reef patrol]

Spotify is making me go insane. It insists on showing track information when it goes to a new track on the "standby?" screen. When the screen is supposed to be off and stay off -and I can't for the life of me find the setting to make it go away 😦

[wheat plume]

Why does pkcon show the download progress in the middle of all the output it gives????

you see the progress near the top at 49% currently

[sharp badger]

Wierd haven't had that problem 😅

Like here? if it's on the Always-On display search for ''Always-On Display'' in settings and there should be ''Contextual info'' to turn off or on, might be different depending on your language ofc.

[ashen spindle]

thief?

[cursive summit]

What wrong did Carmack do

[reef patrol]

Because of course turning the notifications ON again and then OFF seems to have done the trick.

[wheat plume]

I hate installing java on windows .-.

do I need SDK for minecraft?

this worked

it was under the SDK download area

[cursive summit]

Yes you need a Java SDK to run minecraft

Cause it literally runs on Java

Shit like Technic won't even launch without a java sdk

[wheat plume]

there is runtime too

but I dont need that it seems, minecraft launches now

.-.

[halcyon moss]

you need the java jre or sdk on windows, sdk has more stuff you dont need to run minecraft, so best to get the jre

[wheat plume]

welp

does Oracle call it Java SE?

[halcyon moss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat plume]

I legit only find the SDK on Oracle

[halcyon moss]

and what if you serach for java jre windows?

[wheat plume]

even the guide on Oracle docs links to the SDK download

[tropic nacelle]

I'm curious on this as well, what did he steal in your view?
Mans a legend and rightfully so, don't recall him stealing IP.

[wheat plume]

also why cant I change volume on my speakers anymore
I use the volume controls on my keyboard and it brings up the popover thing but doesnt change volume

[cursive summit]

That's what you need

The development kit is all that you need to run minecraft

The normie download which rn is like, Java 8, doesn't have all the stuff to run minecraft

Just download and install Java SDK 19

[wheat plume]

it works again when I unplugged my headphones...

[empty wren]

https://www.eurogamer.net/zenimax-alleges-john-carmack-stole-thousands-of-documents-developing-oculus

Why do you think Facebook had to pay zenimax in court

[vagrant pagoda]

it really is zneimax being shitty

Carmack has always had a clause in his contract that he can decide if any programing is personal or work releated

butttt had nothing for hardware

he could take everything he ever wrote with him, and that was bad enough

[ashen spindle]

yeah zenimax alleging something doesnt make it accurate fact

[vagrant pagoda]

well

it happened

Carmacks defence is that it was personal project

not work

[cursive summit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_v._Oculus

The jury trial completed on February 2, 2017, with the jury finding that Luckey had violated the NDA he had with ZeniMax, and awarding $500 million to ZeniMax.[16][17] However, the jury found that Oculus, Facebook, Luckey, Iribe, and Carmack did not misappropriate or steal trade secrets,[16][17][18] though ZeniMax continued to publicly assert otherwise.[

[ashen spindle]

its not really IP theft if the things he "stole" are his own I would say

[cursive summit]

Jury found that Carmack didn't steal anything so

[vagrant pagoda]

yes because he was in the clear for any software

[cursive summit]

Well, Zeni got a shit ton of million dollars from that

[vagrant pagoda]

and they coulnt prove he actually did anything on the hardware

thats why they coulnt get them on any ip/trade secrets

anything john touched he could take, included work other people did to his work

[empty wren]

Interesting gonna read that later

[cursive summit]

Kinda weird that if you create something while under employment it's no longer yours and you can't redevelop it and improve it

[vagrant pagoda]

he wrote his own contract and it was very very good for him

[cursive summit]

I guess that's just copyright and intellectual property laws for you

[vagrant pagoda]

most places make you sign a contract that says that

[empty wren]

That how company pepperoni works

[cursive summit]

Logically speaking

Isn't that just hurting humanity

[vagrant pagoda]

and withouth a contract that says otherwise, if they pay you to make it, its thiers

remeber john help FOUND id

[cursive summit]

"I got it first so you ain't getting it"

[vagrant pagoda]

so he got to cherry pick his contract terms

[cursive summit]

Like, we should share the shit we develop so others can learn and further our research

This whole thing of "it's mine" is just really really stupid

[vagrant pagoda]

i wonder if he has the same with occulus

he was there pre facebookj

[vagrant pagoda]

closed source helps no one, and hurts everyone

[empty wren]

Patents also hurt

[cursive summit]

Patent trolling especially

[vagrant pagoda]

same thing

[cursive summit]

Did someone patent hello world yet?

[vagrant pagoda]

they all hamper iniovation

[empty wren]

No but you can vex

[cursive summit]

Not interested

Programmers will hate me

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean what they gonna do

[empty wren]

But can condition it instead of money to people having to say our lord and savior owner of hello world, vex

[vagrant pagoda]

modern programers are all programmer socks and pink hair

Stallmen is 69(Nice!), so the likely hood of him dropping from the roof at night with katanas is much lower

[cursive summit]

I should trademark and copyright while(true)

Some of the most useful stuff I have learned

Just keep doing it forever, good for debugging

https://youtu.be/CZ6YVyGUaHk?t=56

[pale sigil]

Hate is a strong word, i just extremely disliked how things work, i hated how all functions are different to Windows, it felt like i was using IPad OS without the IPad.... idk i just found it extremely frustrating, i also found the lack of being able to make it the way i want frustrating and having to pay for apps to do so.

But i will say i preffered the feeling of the air vs pro

[wheat plume]

I wonder how the Steam Deck would perform if it was powered by Apple's M2 chip? :P

Assuming it was possible for the other aspect to stay the same

[cursive summit]

Like shit

[wheat plume]

Linux + Proton + all the config options

[cursive summit]

Cause it can't game normally to save its life

[crimson wigeon]

It would run all games maxed out 120 FPS 4K

Because APPLE SILICON HOLY SHIT IT'S MAGIC

[cursive summit]

With RTX on and DLSS5

What the fuck

The hell is a dual core i7 from 2017

2017 is... Kaby Lake?

7700K had 4/8

[sharp badger]

Yeah should be Kaby

[cursive summit]

Which i7 had dual cores though

[sharp badger]

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/97541/intel-core-i77567u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-4-00-ghz.html

[cursive summit]

Dual core sounds like i3-i5

Ahh the U stuff

[sharp badger]

I think it's that one

Yeah

[cursive summit]

Seems pretty bad

Seller wants 250 for it

[shadow minnow]

Doesn’t sound bad if it’s perfectly working

At all

[cursive summit]

I'm not paying 250 for a dual core

[shadow minnow]

The cpu is bad for the price but you could probably sell it for parts for more

Oh

It’s 13”

Maybe not then

[cursive summit]

I am looking for M1 macs for sale for cheap

Maybe some dumb peeps (like apple users typically are) will sell theirs for like 300

[shadow minnow]

Well one thing about apple products is their resale value tends to stay higher

But also remember people selling 2080 tis for 500€

It’s probably worth more even rn

[cursive summit]

I think I found a decent deal

Unpacked still in wrap iPad 9th gen (2020) for 350

A13 chip so no M1, but it's not bad

Ahh no they literally sell on ebay for 200

Yoo

iPad pro 12.9 M1 for 200

Too bad I have an S8 Ultra so it's useless

[empty wren]

Must also have a better looking screen

[cursive summit]

S8? Definitely

The only part where iPad beats my S8 is the chip

But I don't game anyways, just for consuming media

[empty wren]

I think the dex part alone makes it better than an iPad as well

[cursive summit]

I love the dex feature

But truth be told

I haven't used it once

Maybe at some point I might but I find it just not all that useful

[empty wren]

Maybe if you brought it on campus had to do some serious work

[cursive summit]

What campus

We don't do education the way you peeps do it

[empty wren]

Do you not go to school

Oh

[cursive summit]

No?

Here most stuff is remote

[empty wren]

Weird

Kinda sad if more education goes that way

I think at my school people only go now only a few times a week, but I can imagine they could go only to take tests

[cursive summit]

I feel like I do more work at home than somewhere in the campus

[empty wren]

I mean alright

Having the option would be nice

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jiv48bBmbA

keyboard looks dope

huh

the win 4 has a 5w setting for the 6800u

havent seen that before

[wheat plume]

is there a way to make the mic louder using EQ APO?

[wheat plume]

I cant change this...

[vagrant pagoda]

the sider wont go up?

dose your headset have its own controls on it?

[wheat plume]

Yep

And I pressed the mic up volume button many many times

The firmware updater doesn't realise the headphones are plugged in so it won't even open

Wtf

[vagrant pagoda]

is the mute on?

[wheat plume]

Nope

It's just really really fucking quiet

[crimson wigeon]

SomethingsonlmethingUSB

[vagrant pagoda]

that is all on the headset

you sure mic mute isnt on?

my wireless dose that when i lift up the mic

[wheat plume]

If it was on, I'd not hear anything

[vagrant pagoda]

no

[wheat plume]

But I hear my voice but really quiet

[vagrant pagoda]

mine just gets really really quiet

[wheat plume]

O.o

Uh

Hmm

Lemme toggle it and see

[vagrant pagoda]

it was the only reason i even still have logitech for anything

is they give you buttons on the heatset for shit

[wheat plume]

The mute toggle literally muted it

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah maybe the down button is jammed

something in the headset is telling windows to lower the volume

[wheat plume]

Hm :/

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah just got them out

i have the 935s

if you tilt mic up it goes to 1 voluime

if you hit the mute button is mutes

[wheat plume]

I'm following a YouTube guide and it's not really doing much

Using eq apo and peace UI

Is the problem because I renamed them?

I changed the input to Cloud2Mic and the output to Cloud2

[wheat plume]

I made the headphones sound better

but the mic is still stupidly quite ;-;

[vocal cipher]

@reef patrol new challange for you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t03rmc-prJo

[reef patrol]

Naw. Paying an artist to make custom art, and a printer to put it ON said case (twice because I changed case) was more than enough.

[hardy idol]

Why does the Lekker keyboard mess with the thrustmaster stuff

is it because both can be seen as controllers?

is there a way to make the lekker only visible as a keyboard and not a controller?

because it wont let me get into the wheel settings

even if i double click the wheel, itll give me wooting

other option is disconnect the lekker while wheel,
But I wanted to turn the 60HE into a macropad

and i still want to be able to type so its not really an option

[reef patrol]

Yes.

Open Wootility, click settings in the bottom left, disable gamepad mode.

[hardy idol]

AHA!

[reef patrol]

This is what we use for the whole analog mode.

[hardy idol]

Thank youu

[hardy idol]

is that stored per profile

[reef patrol]

I -think- it's per PC.

[hardy idol]

ah okey

[reef patrol]

Won't toggle back on until you re-enable in Wootility.

[hardy idol]

mhm, id love a keybind ofc but ill see

also takes ages for this step to complete

is it safe now to yank out and reconnet

bruh

still waiting

why does it take so long

@fervent plaza halp, u probably know this

or is that more for the programming peeps

[reef patrol]

This is the downloadable app, yes? What model of Wooting is it?

[hardy idol]

lekker

[reef patrol]

Hmm...

[hardy idol]

keyboard is completely unusable right now

i could try replugging

but scary?

[reef patrol]

Sure - It says it flashed the board, so it shouldn't brick anything.

[hardy idol]

ok ok

ah thanko god it worki

wtf is that tho, it never completed

[reef patrol]

Best guess is it somehow bugged out when trying to reboot the keyboard back into regular mode from restore mode 🤔

[hardy idol]

okay

Thanks for helping me Mansen

[reef patrol]

[hardy idol]

Really appreciate it

u my fav duck fr 🫶🏼

[vagrant pagoda]

change the defalt

also i dont have that issuie with my thrustmaster wheel

i ahve a tmx

works fine with any number of devices

[hardy idol]

i did, but didnt work

maybe my laptop is a bit ehhh

lets call it dumb

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume steam deck V2 apparently is more of a screen upgrade etc Vs perf

[wheat plume]

ye

and battery

[pale sigil]

Darn it

[ashen spindle]

wouldnt say so

I think we first get a steam deck refresh not a real V2 sorta

because perf is harder to improve from relatively new hardware

[shadow minnow]

Well that’s the most important thing

[ashen spindle]

how is that the most important thing

[shadow minnow]

Well because it’s the one real weak point

Performance if it was focused on still isn’t possible to improve too much with current tech

Screen can be improved a ton even with current tech

[pale sigil]

Also you over hyped the MacBook Pro screen big time

[shadow minnow]

Which MacBook Pro did you check out

And no I did not

[ashen spindle]

its harder but not impossible, but you need to realize making it more than 720p also needs more performance

the reason it's playable fps is because its just 720p

[shadow minnow]

Well yes but making it better quality

Not changing resolution

More contrast and color accuracy

Is possible

[ashen spindle]

bit of a waste if you keep it 720p imo but sure

[pale sigil]

I checked then all

[shadow minnow]

In an Apple Store?

[pale sigil]

Ye

[shadow minnow]

It’s harder to see with perfect lighting conditions ngl

[pale sigil]

Um how

[shadow minnow]

But if you go into a slightly darker room difference becomes very apparent

[pale sigil]

It was actually dim

It was bizarre actually

[shadow minnow]

Which pro

“

[pale sigil]

I said to my mum this is the weirdest apple shop I've ever been too

It wasn't super white bright which I've ever seen before lol

It was dim and gray

In the arndale if you remember

Turns out when we were there we went last it twice lol

[shadow minnow]

Well comparing iPad 11 to 12.7 in Apple Store few days ago I could still see the difference, the brightness range was one thing, mini led being able to get more and less dark, and also contrast way better

And like I have a 99% dcip3 monitor and it’s much worse just because of the ugly contrast because it’s matte

In dark it’s way more noticeable

[ashen spindle]

If you can barely notice it, I would classify it as not so much better

[shadow minnow]

Still I don’t see how did I over hype it, haven’t seen many comparable thigns apart from other mini leds or the new OLEDs

[pale sigil]

But anyway with max brightness your surrounding shouldn't effect the quality.

Colours etc

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/please-dont-the-office-gif-18301822

[shadow minnow]

13 pro doesn’t have mini led too

[pale sigil]

It was just not as good as I was expecting

I also checked all pros and airs

[shadow minnow]

How could it be better though?

[pale sigil]

It was good but you deffo overhyped it

Is all I'm saying

[shadow minnow]

I disagree tbh

In Apple Store they make all screens look good yes

Was there myself few days ago

But comparing to an average display

Or even a pretty good one

The difference is very noticeable for me

[pale sigil]

I'm not saying it's bad

I'm saying you over hyped it

;)

I can definitely see a difference when I compare the iPad pro 11" screen and 12.9" but it was quite minor

Felt it was less minor with the MacBookpros though, I could tell between 12" MacBook pros Vs bigger.

[shadow minnow]

It’s way bigger in dark

Where contrast matters

And I like watching content or even playing in dark

[pale sigil]

It was honestly quite dim in the store which is a topic of it's own.

[shadow minnow]

Where it’s literally full blacks vs grays

[shadow minnow]

Not dim enough to see that too

[pale sigil]

I was really surprised as I'm used to apple shops being insanely bright white

I think you're grasping at straws lol

[shadow minnow]

It’s literally the point too, blacks being main improvement

[pale sigil]

So weird

[shadow minnow]

And bit higher max brightness

[pale sigil]

Just couldn't get over my surprise how miserable the lightning was XD

[shadow minnow]

Only thing keeping me back from considering 11” despite me preferring the size is display

[pale sigil]

Again I'm not saying they are bad.

Just saying you overhyped then ;)

[shadow minnow]

I still disagree

[pale sigil]

OLED is still far superior.

[shadow minnow]

Try it side by side with OLED

I don’t see how

It’s literally same color accuracy spectrum and contrast

[wheat plume]

I fail to see how anything with a backlight will be better than OLED

[pale sigil]

I did, my phone, well my phone is AMOLED

[shadow minnow]

Did you watch some hdr color accurate videos to compare

Because for me it looks better than my phone

[shadow minnow]

Many zones, it’s not better in that way tbh, it’s better because of higher maximum brightness and no burn in

Though phone OLEDs get bright nowadays too but not bigger size OLEDs

[wheat plume]

I dont use my laptop outdoors, so max brightness is not too big of a deal to me

:P

my monitor is currently at 10% brightness and its almost too bright for me

[pale sigil]

Isn't your phone like not full OLED?

[shadow minnow]

Wdym?

[pale sigil]

It's just standard oled

[shadow minnow]

Yes

What about that though?

[pale sigil]

Many improvements were made with AMOLED etc

Over the years and OLED in general

[wheat plume]

whats the difference between OLED and AMOLED and QOLED and shit?

[pale sigil]

Irrc the iPhone used Samsung screens right?

[wheat plume]

yep

still do

[shadow minnow]

Yes my phone uses a pretty new screen

They usually use the best available screen at the time

Comparable to your Samsung devices

QOLED is better in that regards yet but it’s not just OLED, it’s a new tech not in phones yet as far as I am aware at least

[ashen spindle]

https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-qd-oled-vs-oled-technology-tvs/

[pale sigil]

Well that's a lie

[shadow minnow]

Which one?

[pale sigil]

The best possible screen at the time I mean.

[wheat plume]

wouldnt Samsung keep their best screens for their own phones? :P

not sell them to Apple to make iPhones with

[pale sigil]

Not really.

Business is business but Im surprised apple even went with OLED.

[shadow minnow]

How is it a lie?

[pale sigil]

OLED is kinda old in todays standards for phones.

But anyway I'm not talking about HDR content

Which you were saying you compared.

Im mostly on about display in general.

Again I'm not saying it's bad and it's definitely a huge improvement, just it wasn't as good as you made it out to be.

Still looks super nice though.

Especially on iPads, I still like my first gen pros screen.

[shadow minnow]

Well compare it to OLED, imo it looks similar, Better in some ways worse in others

[pale sigil]

Well again my phone is AMOLED.

I basically had all devices running the same video on Apple TV and YouTube.

Was kinda funny the looks I got

[shadow minnow]

Apple screens may be OLED too they don’t tell us whether it’s the case or not. Still they tend to have same max brightness and other specs as Samsung displays at a time

[pale sigil]

But I pretty much eliminated the idea of getting a MacBook completely after testing.

All of them Vs just my friends.

Which is 14" pro

[chrome estuary]

they get their phone screens from samsung iirc

[shadow minnow]

They do

[pale sigil]

LG for macbooks

[shadow minnow]

Mistake

Don’t think it’s just Samsung too

They have multiple suppliers afaik

[pale sigil]

Pretty much retina is LG

[chrome estuary]

i like my m1 macbook. looks okay, runs okay, etc etc.

[pale sigil]

And Japan something apparently

[chrome estuary]

all around it's a good office machine.

[shadow minnow]

Macbooks are great now, especially compared to 2017 MacBook which was horrible

[pale sigil]

They are great but still to pricy

But also I kinda get the whole hate with adapters now

[chrome estuary]

yeah fuckin expensive but shrug

[pale sigil]

I was looking for ports thinking really?

[shadow minnow]

The 14 and 16 pro have readded ports

[pale sigil]

But of all these grips it's honestly the OS that kills it for me

[shadow minnow]

And well some windows laptops now have even less ports lol

[shadow minnow]

Quite a few actually

[shadow minnow]

Why though?

[chrome estuary]

i don't have much problem with the adapter thing. Doesn't bother me at all to only have two USB-C ports since i barely use them other than to charge.

[pale sigil]

I just really really dislike it.

[shadow minnow]

Gotta get used to it, I hated windows that much too, I still hate it but I kinda got used to it and it’s mostly usable now

Unless I want to search for some app

Which is still a terrible experience

[pale sigil]

Its just iPad is and iPhone mashed into a laptop without a touch screen, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and everything I'm used to doesn't translate. Similar to iPhone and iPad if I want to change things to cater for me it's the same no no but if you can pay for it.

[shadow minnow]

I don’t get how is it so bad

[pale sigil]

I.... Just don't wanna get used to it.

That's the problem, i find even Linux less hassle.

And much more comfortable to use.

[shadow minnow]

Then it’s really just getting used to it

Can’t compare an OS you used for way more with comfort ability of use

For me macOS is much more comfortable

Because I used it for more

[pale sigil]

I love my iPad but I couldn't stand using It as a desktop, that's kinda how I feel using OSX.

[chrome estuary]

the only thing i don't like about macos is that it wants to default to fullscreen apps instead of maximizing.

[pale sigil]

One thing I found frustrating SSD full screening stuff

[shadow minnow]

App support is the only thing for me

[pale sigil]

It took me so long to figure it out, I couldn't just hit F11 on everything.

[shadow minnow]

And I couldn’t hit f3 on windows to see all my apps also not convenient

[pale sigil]

Wdym

See all your apps

[shadow minnow]

Mission Control

It’s a great thing

[pale sigil]

Just use start + tab

[shadow minnow]

All apps is not a good description but well

[chrome estuary]

That's not mission control @pale sigil

mission control is app drawer iirc

[pale sigil]

Basically is

[shadow minnow]

This kinda thing

[chrome estuary]

ah well never mind

[pale sigil]

I won't deny OSX does stuff better, it surely does and there's a reason programmers love it.

[pale sigil]

So exactly like windows.

Just more bubbly

[shadow minnow]

I love when looking for cinebench if I write cin it shows it but as soon as I get to cine it disappears

Windows search experience

[pale sigil]

I hate windows too tho

[shadow minnow]

Can you have multiple desktops opened on it though

As in multiple “app drawer” screens

[chrome estuary]

yes if you open another desktop

[shadow minnow]

Wdym?

[shadow minnow]

Ngl I don’t know how to use windows for productivity and don’t plan to figure it out rn

[pale sigil]

It's evolved over the years

[shadow minnow]

When will windows search finally be fixed too

[pale sigil]

You can also use power tools to create drawers

I never got the the for windows search other than web search

[shadow minnow]

My apps are a mess, I always search for apps I want to open

[pale sigil]

But since everyone is vocal about osx search being better it's silly for me to deny it.

[shadow minnow]

It’s my organization issue tbh from a big part

I am too lazy to put stuff in folders properly

[pale sigil]

Ye, it's just something personally I've never had an issue with.

[shadow minnow]

Everything on desktop

Or in random places

On macOS I can just use spotlight

[pale sigil]

Windows 8 was notorious for it though.

But windows has that too....

[shadow minnow]

On windows it’s an experience where it only works 50% of the time for me

[shadow minnow]

But it’s broken

[pale sigil]

I can search for a file or apo.

[shadow minnow]

It’s better now but still broken

Unless you use file manager which takes ages

[pale sigil]

For me I've never had an issue but I've heard others have aye.

File explorer finally got an overhaul

[shadow minnow]

I have had so much pain just trying to open cinebench sometimes tbh

[pale sigil]

After all these years omg

Took way to long

[shadow minnow]

And file explorer just takes too long for me despite having a 7000mbps ssd

[pale sigil]

Which I'll give osx credit for.... Way cleaner.

Honestly, I'd rather just get a thin laptop and run Linux at this point.

Has its own issues but it combines the nice stuff from OSX and Windows into it's own thing if I want.

[shadow minnow]

It combines OSX windows and assembly experiences

[pale sigil]

Not that Linux doesn't have it's own issues because let's be honest there's more issues with Linux than there are rats in New York

Another thing I'll give credit to osx for is how smooth their tech is in sync, it's almost beautiful.

[shadow minnow]

It is, copying thing on my phone pasting on MacBook instantly

[pale sigil]

But then I realise it's minds fucked that your life is so tied to expensive oppressive devices designed to consume your life and wallet.

[pale sigil]

Tbf windows has gotten good at this.

In terms of media at least without the need for cloud services

I don't like relying on the cloud so it works great for me.

[shadow minnow]

Ads in default apps still surprises me. Apple has them too, but not for Slovakia so I only saw them when using UK iCloud account which was horrible lol

[pale sigil]

Or well for my use.

Can you still not use a custom DNS on iOS?

[shadow minnow]

iCloud is not too useful for me because I am always using 100% of my available storage

[shadow minnow]

I think you can

[pale sigil]

I couldn't on my iPad on iOs 14

I should be more specific

Global DNS

Not per connection DNS

Eg phone data DNS

[silent delta]

I think you can do per access point DNS which is quite limiting but also no surprise for apple

[pale sigil]

For example I can change my DNS no matter what I'm connecting to.

[pale sigil]

It's annoying but router level DNS is something you can do for your own WiFi at least.

[silent delta]

yeah in my house I have 2APs, so setting up pihole on my devices was a pain with my ISP router/ap wouldnt allow custom dns 😔

[pale sigil]

I just used my modem to my own router

Or well put my ISP router into modem mode

[silent delta]

I would try but I'd have to persuade my parents, I'm lucky they're agreeing to me building a little home server thing with how expensive power is in the uk rn

[pale sigil]

Oh, what ISP are you with?

[silent delta]

with virgin atm but used to be with sky when I was doing the pihole

[pale sigil]

Is everyone using your WiFi?

Access points.

[silent delta]

Mostly, there are a few devices in the front room that have ethernet, and my room upstairs does but mostly everything else is using wifi

[pale sigil]

Do yourself a favour, buy a new router, wack the VM router into modem mode by logging in, connect the new router into it and jobs a gooden.

Name the WiFi the same names and same passwords along with connecting wires to a switch preferably and they would never know!

You can set the global DNS on the new router.

[silent delta]

gotta get more money first especially with what I wanna spend on this server but I hope for it to last quite a while

[pale sigil]

Atm I go from

Superhub 4 modem mode > Router > pihole via DHCP

Bam

Super Hub 4 is absolute garbage lol

Super Hub 2 was the last reliable router they had

[silent delta]

that's everything im going for, fans are slightly different and I'm going to get a pcie sata card too, hoping to make it the most power efficient I can but wont be easy with 4hdds

[pale sigil]

My man just get a dell machine

Refurbished

Guessing you plan to raid them

[silent delta]

true but this will hopefully be future proof with its 10 3.5" drive bays

yes indeed

well

zfs

but same thing

[pale sigil]

I've wanted to work on a server project for years but the issue at the moment is electricity.

It's just to hard to justify and is more expensive than just renting or using my NAS.

Or course game server wise it would be cheaper to pay electric but I don't really host games often :p

[silent delta]

I hope to have the power draw low, I got a power metre plug so I can watch the power draw of it. I wouldnt say I have a lot but since I'm a student staying at home, I'd say I have a little bit more money to play around with than I otherwise would and I'm not just leeching off them either ahahaha

[pale sigil]

Haha, I definitely use more than I give with upkeep and right now we are using £4-8 a day.

So it's pretty difficult.

[silent delta]

yeah we've been keeping track of how much we use it's been getting ridiculous but having solar pannels still helps out over winter with the lack of clouds sometimes

[pale sigil]

Wish we had solar panels :p

[empty wren]

Gotta get some windmills

[pale sigil]

But never had the money sadly.

[pale sigil]

Tbh that's better, family friends had two on their property.

[silent delta]

I think it was a government thing, because we dont see any of the excess power that's made it just goes straight into the grid

[pale sigil]

They are quite good, our local swimming pool/gym also used one or two.

[silent delta]

gonna have to measuer the power draw of my wooting when it comes 😔

4x4 > 2x8

more redundancy

[empty wren]

It is quite up there

[silent delta]

my case can fit 10

so

might as well go 160tb

its so nice having scan a reasonable distance away (the computer store)

so many computer things

[vagrant pagoda]

not really

[silent delta]

well I can lose 2 drives compared to 1

[vagrant pagoda]

4x4 has less lost space

[silent delta]

I have 10 drive slots, doubt im gonna use them all any time soon

[vagrant pagoda]

plus 8tb and 10tb is cheap

[silent delta]

I'm gonna run truenas and do a raidz2 pool I think

gimme a few years to save up for that

Hmmm
Some sort of distro with Plasma desktop on the left and PopOS in the middle and SteamOS on right
Hmmm....
Seeing what's best to code on?

[vagrant pagoda]

none

mb air

[hardy idol]

Why is it on 190 degrees tho

That's near nothing

[vagrant pagoda]

NFS unbound

[hardy idol]

For open wheelers?

Oh

I already uninstalled unbound

No fun after the story tbh

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[wheat plume]

....why 4 HDMI ports on a computer?!

[vagrant pagoda]

video walls

ads

stuff like that

its what most of the tiny pcs are made for

[wheat plume]

Hmmm ... Actually yeah makes sense

If you are using a computer this powerful for ads...seems wasteful

[hardy idol]

Ooh

[hardy idol]

this is basically my irl car when it's finished

[vagrant pagoda]

i like the car hanging in the backgound

but im terrible at making shots and sutff

[hardy idol]

Lol indeed

Also sleep is for the weak

And weak I am

Goodnight!

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

[wheat plume]

Oo.. Is a chonky boi

1080p screen and plays most demanding games at 1080p low though

So seems to be a lot more powerful than the Deck

[wheat plume]

Probably yeah
Incredible battery life and more power than MacOS can make use of

[crisp granite]

...uh

no

lol

MacOS has plenty of things you could easily torture hardware with

and windows tbh

windows tends to be better at gaming, but...then again
get an effective monopoly and games will get made for it

[vagrant pagoda]

macos has a real terminal

it can do lots of goodies

[crisp granite]

a shame a good chunk of the juicy commands didn't carry from intel based macs

[vagrant pagoda]

there is a working vulkan driver for asahi though

which is amazing

[crisp granite]

mhm

still, I fail to see the value in asahi

a cool project, sure
but it will always lag behind MacOS with supported hardware and software

[vagrant pagoda]

its linux

thats the value

cross compliing for arm is easy

nothing on m1 is unique

so almost any arm linux program will run on it

[ashen spindle]

potential ways around the security chips to make sure the stuff is not ewaste when that locks you out for example would be something you'd maybe only get on linux if they find a way

[wheat plume]

Good ol' ZSH 💜

[wheat plume]

these variables names are wack

https://youtu.be/btHQYWoG3nU

[vagrant pagoda]

You randomize variable names for malware to help bypass detections

[glass pollen]

would dielectric grease work just as well for lubing the stabilizers? it seems to be cheaper than the lube on the wooting site

[tulip whale]

https://youtu.be/sp5YTLyR5P8

This will explain better then any text could 🙂

[pale sigil]

I really need to return this cooler

Keep forgetting and im lazh

[vagrant pagoda]

Just put some organs in it

[shadow minnow]

Spare parts

[cursive summit]

Sorry Gaijin says you need to grind for those

[vagrant pagoda]

Organ meat is tasty

[pale sigil]

I just hate the idea of going back to amd stock cooler

[vagrant pagoda]

Which one?

Some amd coolers aren't bad

I remember when the phenom 92mm heat pipe cooler came out

And it killed half the cooler market lol

[cursive summit]

Cal's talking about the Ryzen 5000 iirc

I really don't get the AMD cooler hate

If anything AMD makes the best stock coolers in general

[shadow minnow]

Doctor Who S8E1 best way to get spare parts

[cursive summit]

Saves you like 50$

[vagrant pagoda]

They dropped the prism from 5000 I think right?

The prism can oc pretty well if you don't care about noise

You can also slap Noctua 92mm fans on them and they are really good lol profile coolers lol

[pale sigil]

5600x comes with the stealth cooler

[tulip whale]

Idk my 5900x didn’t come W cooler although I already have an AIO so

[pale sigil]

Not the wrath irrc

Oh NVM it's wrath

Either way it was awful for me

[ashen spindle]

Yes 5900 and up don’t come with one since there it would be quite bad anyway

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah AMD just decided to sell the prism separate now

I'm on the fence

So many people building first PC

And it's possible they get a bad aftermarket cooler, or it dosent fit

Having a stock cooler is nice

[ashen spindle]

Ehh fairly certain almost all DIY markets have people get coolers anyway so it’s just useless waste for most people

For the higher power options at least

[vagrant pagoda]

You've never gotten a bad cooler, missing hardware or had it not fit in your case?

[ashen spindle]

Wouldn’t want to use a stock cooler even then since I’d have to bother replacing it once’s the fitting replacement gets here or so

[wheat plume]

I'm still using stock cooler

[ashen spindle]

Yes you are not using a high end cpu either

[wheat plume]

True

Still gets pretty hot though :/

[ashen spindle]

Heat!=powerdraw

[cursive summit]

Why would cooler categories be measured in powerdraw then

[ashen spindle]

??

[pale sigil]

Can someone just do everything for me pls

I cba so much

[cursive summit]

Sure

What's up

[pale sigil]

And im pretty sure I don't have any spare thermal paste now rip

I need to remove my cooler and put stock back in

Cba

Not difficult, I just can't be bothered.

[cursive summit]

If you pay for my transporation to UK I will

Plane tickets are like 300 pounds or so

[pale sigil]

Also mx4 or mx 6

Ain't wasting money on grizzly again

@ashen spindle is there a chance my nvme can be causing perf issues all this time?

Stutter/other odd issues.

I know usually issues are more severe when w drive is having issues.

[ashen spindle]

Uhh maybe idk

[pale sigil]

I was thinking if installing windows into one of my other SSDs to test tbh

Wack windows to go on it and run it over USB C

[vagrant pagoda]

yes

is it dramless?

ive had issues with some chipsets and dramless nvme as boot drives

[quaint pilot]

Trying to play Supraland Six Inches Under with Xbox One controller but the game defaults to use my Wooting Two instead. How do I disable controller on the keyboard so the game uses my Xbox controller instead? I tried toggling "No Gamepad" in Wootility, it doesn't help.

[pale sigil]

No

Also lol

[vagrant pagoda]

hey now

mine has discord, steamchat and mumble

[pale sigil]

I usually watch content on it too

When im playing something or working on something

[shadow minnow]

Yt vidoes + music + playing a game best combination

Have to use my phone for videos too

And laptop for music and games

All at once ofc

@vagrant pagodai have the first gen contoller

[vagrant pagoda]

Should be fine

[pale sigil]

aye

but i meant it could explain the whole my system never used to be like this issue

have to say tho, this is the first drive ive ever had below 90% lol

Oh god, that is significantly less than before, not that its bad lol

from when i got it

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7900-7700-7600-cpu-pricing-and-specifications-have-been-confirmed

[shadow minnow]

Time to reinstall windows hoping it fixes my XTU issues

[pale sigil]

ite, my friend wuith the same drive 3 weeks apart

nvm, his has barely been touched vs mine

[shadow minnow]

7000mbps better

[pale sigil]

[shadow minnow]

Stuck at 64% for a while now

[pale sigil]

oh you're at home now?

[shadow minnow]

Indeed

[pale sigil]

Well that's a teeny bit concerning lol... Whenever I came a change to the bios if says no changes made when I save and exit.

[shadow minnow]

Looks like reinstalling windows helped

[pale sigil]

Usually the case tbh

Windows is just so shit

[shadow minnow]

Now login takes ages

Also remind me in 3 days is annoying

[ashen spindle]

has nothing to do with windows if XTU is just broken

[pale sigil]

My statement still stands.

[shadow minnow]

It didn’t allow me to uninstall it because it already was

And didn’t allow me to install it because it was already installed

[ashen spindle]

yes because XTU broke it not because windows broke it

we all know intel software is quite bad

[shadow minnow]

It shouldn’t be possible to break that much

Also how do I get previeee images to be back on files? All became blank

Or well almost all

[ashen spindle]

yes it should be possible or else you would limit programs and users what they can do which might work for mac but not for any open eco system

[shadow minnow]

Hmm it now allows higher iGPU voltage nice

Can of further

Well I got my iGPU to run at 2100 mhz for a moment lol

May get some 3dmark records again

Unless I kill it

[shadow minnow]

^

[pale sigil]

EVERYTHING IS SO SNAPPY AGAIN

[crisp granite]

me when using MacOS

after using windows 10

windows makes me sad
kinda blows

[crisp granite]

...are you ever going to get a damn gpu lol?

you've had that sad custom hardline loop without for...2 years at this point?

[shadow minnow]

Year and a half

Anyways anyone knows about safe iGPU voltages

[ashen spindle]

0V and disabled

[crisp granite]

under 5 volts probs

but above 3

[shadow minnow]

1.3 I ran for a while but now it allows me up to 2

[pale sigil]

takes the piss high on life doesnt support steam cloud save

welp

game perf is already 10x better

even this part was running awful and was stuter

110 fps difference lol

[ashen spindle]

no his setup is just cursed and stuttery in weird ways

no its anything for him for a long time

[crisp granite]

...ew

wasn't that thing like...

1600 USD?

no that's different

...dude

that ain't worth that lol

[vagrant pagoda]

smh

printed caps in 2022?

[crisp granite]

this was 1600

[crisp granite]

all out of some desire for transparent keycaps

which is so...

ew

board chow

I remember the original apple rubber dome boards

the ones with the transparent cases and the black caps

those got really disgusting, really fast
