Gets called out for ages and keeps going

[frozen ingot]

its just in some peoples blood to never escape their sleazy ways

[wheat plume]

Crystal Linux has such a simple logo and I love it

[frozen ingot]

the only thing simple about linux

[empty wren]

Back to distro hopping huh

[wheat plume]

no xd im just trying to find nice wallpaper

with the distro logo on it and found one with many distro logos

and I saw this and it looked good

LOL

[vagrant pagoda]

The outages right now are bad

[true quest]

mine aren't scheduled until february

[vagrant pagoda]

Drove out to Waipio yesterday and you still had to drive over downed lines

Luckily my friends out there have generators and the weather is good

[true quest]

wtf give me back my heat

https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/microsoft-confirms-that-sony-has-blocked-these-4-games-from-hitting-xbox-forever

Round 1: Fight!

Oh man this will be a spicy occurence

I wish the regulators just turn their attention to Sony instead of Microsoft and shaft them with a 10 foot pole

"In addition to having outright exclusive content, Sony has also entered into arrangements with third-party publishers which require the “exclusion” of Xbox from the set of platforms these publishers can distribute their games on. Some prominent examples of these agreements include Final Fantasy VII Remake (Square Enix), Bloodborne (From Software), the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI (Square Enix) and the recently announced Silent Hill 2 remastered (Bloober team).”

[tropic nacelle]

It's like people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

It's funny seeing it unfold, FTC is overreaching as it's not really a problem, it's just buying a few more studios.

I wonder if all the FTC people bought PS5s in their family recently xD

[shadow minnow]

And received a bonus gift card with it

[cursive summit]

Funny thing is

They didn't complain when Bethesda/Zenimax was bought out

And that acquisition is imo more controversial

Acti/Blizz NEEDS an acquisition to help them recover from terrible work culture

Zenimax was fine, albeit maybe financially struggling, so why tf were they bought out?

Acti can benefit from an acquisition unlike Zenimax studios

[tropic nacelle]

I mean zenimax wasn't doing bad financially I don't think, it's just the fact they own Bethesda and other companies that meant they had to buy them out.

I'd say they were struggling from doing creative things with their IP, releasing Skyrim every year isn't exactly a good thing in terms of artistic mediums, fine for the company as it made them money for nothing everytime!

[cursive summit]

They were doing some sort of financial shenanigans

[ashen spindle]

that doesn't really reflect the actual impact though or the size of the actual parts they own

square is on the list but ABK has like double their people without King factored in yet

maybe

[pale sigil]

teeeny but outdated

[vagrant pagoda]

Only matters if it's sized based on income or sales

Because I could just fire off a 1000 llcs in Delaware and be the biggest in that chart

And have zero sales

Another Manjaro fuck up

[thick elk]

Manjarno is great...

[wheat plume]

TLDR

Manjaro ships a customised UI within Firefox to make it look like a native Gnome desktop app , and that theme broke in the new update and everyone thinks that Firefox itself broke and they all sent complaints into r/firefox about it, because they didnt know the theme being used was third party and nothing to do with Mozilla

[crimson wigeon]

Manjaro ecksdeeee

[thick elk]

Considering ths shit they pull it really surprises me the distro itself is at least functional most of the time

[wheat plume]

Yeah xd

^

right?!

[thick elk]

https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

[crimson wigeon]

Guess that needs updating

[wheat plume]

yeah

[thick elk]

considering his repo is the main source for that video that will happen.

[wheat plume]

the repo is not related to this site, it seems

[thick elk]

https://github.com/EmeraldSnorlax/manjarno/pull/27
Basically the conclusion was that it was to minor to include

[wheat plume]

The maintaner of the Firefox theme had a freaking disclaimed on the very start of the repo readme

DISTRO MAINTAINERS: DO NOT SHIP THIS BY DEFAULT TO YOUR USERS

and Manjaro are just like "oh, we missed that disclaimed, we didnt see it before"

[crimson wigeon]

Well that's just classic fuck you I won't do what you tell me Manjaro stuff

[wheat plume]

yep yep

this is their 3rd or 4th "PLEASE DONT SHIP THIS TO USERS" incident they had so far

[thick elk]

The biggest issue is that it's explicitly against the license to use the Firefox name.
And the reason that is the case is exactly for this reason, people blaming Firefox for a a bundled broken theme.

[wheat plume]

Yeah :/

Its ruining Firefox's reputation

Which is already really fucking low to begin with

[wheat plume]

WTF is a "Super Linear" speaker setup?

[empty wren]

Probably just none of the frequencies are exaggerated

[wheat plume]

[vagrant pagoda]

Why is 75 hz in brackets?

[crimson wigeon]

[pale sigil]

[misty saffron]

i can relate to your computer

sometimes i wake up 4 hours into sleep not knowing why

[shadow minnow]

Lol this apple thing was supposed to sell for 130£ but it went down to 10€ here probably due to how badly it was selling lol

@crisp granite

Like sure it’s not very useful

But for 10€ such nice colored leather

[magic geode]

i think my psu is angry at me

wait how dangerous is this actually?

[crisp granite]

it may catch fire

I'd suggest getting some marshmallows handy to toast over that toxic pc fire

[magic geode]

lets go

[empty wren]

Nice and cold outside

[crisp granite]

kiddos

if only they'd find more effective methods to kill themselves without friendly fire, yeah?

or just...stop being idiots and mindlessly endanger themselves and others for something as completely useless as internet fame?

[vagrant pagoda]

I have one of those lol

[crisp granite]

[vagrant pagoda]

Free memory is wasted memory

OS will already shift unused ram to swap/page file if you need to use it

[misty saffron]

chrome has recently added a feature like that

chrome://flags/#battery-saver-mode-available
chrome://flags/#high-efficiency-mode-available

free ram is also a meaningless number nowadays

modern oses will not free memory they think they will use later

in extreme cases unless you're out of memory, then they will

in general they're just much less aggressive in memory management

because, in my case, there's like 40gb free still, why free it and waste cpu cycles later?

thanks for coming to my ted talk

because i chose that username

i don't know what else to tell you

[cerulean bronze]

SOFT TOUCH

sry didnt mean to all caps. i was trying to look for mods by search on how to create softer feel when keys bottom out on wooting

[wheat plume]

is 40C too hot for GPU that isnt doing anything?

[crimson wigeon]

Why would it be?

[ashen spindle]

temperature red in hwinfo? no? then its most likely fine

[reef patrol]

That's what mine is at load. But I -am- watercooled.

[wheat plume]

cause I swear the idle temp used to be like 32C for me before

[final flame]

40c idle is average

[wheat plume]

my room is really cold, it shouldnt be

[ashen spindle]

unless you mean its like -10C

no its still normal temps

[shadow minnow]

My iGPU is colder at idle

[proven ferry]

@wheat plume , did you change anything about your setup recently? driver updates, bios updates, etc.? you could also check if there's any program running in the background that keeps your gpu busy.

I have a 3090 and it idles on air between 25 and 30C.

[wheat plume]

usage is only 1-3%

[ashen spindle]

yes

thats normal

[wheat plume]

just answering Tengv

[ashen spindle]

if under load it gets too hot maybe time to clean, if not nothing to see there

[wheat plume]

oh

[ashen spindle]

and too hot would be like 90+

[wheat plume]

^ my GPU during gaming

[ashen spindle]

95C is hot and likely means you should clean it but would still be within accepted range

[proven ferry]

are your gpu fans running when idle? some nvidia cards have passive fan mode that disables fans and only enables them when at a certain temperature. in which case 40C might be normal idle temp.

[wheat plume]

it sounds like they are but that might be just the case fans

I can hear my PC fans even with headphones on

at all times

[proven ferry]

if you can, I would check to make sure that gpu fans are also on. I'm using msi afterburner to set up my own fan curves and make sure gpu fans are always running (albeit at lower rate when not in use).

[wheat plume]

Afterburner, ah, never installed that before

Ill give it a look

[ashen spindle]

you can also just look at the fans to see if they spin

and what are the temps when gaming?

[wheat plume]

~90 - 95C when heavy gaming

[ashen spindle]

last cleaned when?

[wheat plume]

my GPU doesnt have a backplate .-. I need to remove the thin layer of dust

[wheat plume]

it always got that high

even when brand new from thebox

[ashen spindle]

backplates usually dont do anything anyway

[wheat plume]

they keep the dust off the PCB

[ashen spindle]

then nothing changed

yeah but what does the dust do on the pcb? makes it dusty thats about it

[wheat plume]

why does afterburner not download the exe on its own?

why they .zip it first?!

[proven ferry]

it might come packaged with rivatuner as well (which is a framerate limiter tool - also very useful).

[wheat plume]

thats an option in the installer, but the afterburner exe was the only thing in the archive

this font is horrific

I can barely read the number

21? 27?

idk

[proven ferry]

looks like 27 but you're right the font is not ideal 😄

anyway it should give you an good idea about your fans and whether they work and at what speed.

[wheat plume]

oh gosh this theme sucks

[proven ferry]

it should also show the card temp so you can adjust the fans and run them more aggressively to cool the card more, even when idle.

[proven ferry]

right now it auto adjusts the fans at low speed (27% only). You can disable auto mode and set your own curve (up the fans to something like 35 or even 40). this should lower the idle temps significantly on your card.

but it's something for you to play around with.

We already have tabs in notepad

[wheat plume]

tabs in text editors are very very useful

[cursive summit]

It's called OneNote

Or did everyone forget that one note exists

[wheat plume]

I havent

[wheat plume]

Onenote is not a text editor though

[cursive summit]

If I want a fancy notepad, I will download (and did download) Notepad++

Don't touch my notepad

Meh it's Win11 anyways

Not like I care what shit features that will get

[wheat plume]

the tooltip in File Explorer piss me off

[cursive summit]

Once Win10 goes unsupported I'm ditching Windows or just going with Win10 until it stops getting feature updates

[wheat plume]

they appear too fast and over the icon you are trying to click on

cant click View when the tooltip is here

or I got to click the border of the control

I forgot minecraft have Christmas presents instead of chests for Christmas!

[shadow minnow]

OneNote on phones is horrible

[wheat plume]

MY GPU reaches 87C while playing Minecraft with Extreme shaders

My sister got gifted DT 990 Pros...

im jealous

She needs to get an AMP / DAC, im fairly sure cause they are 250 Ohm

[ashen spindle]

87 under load is normal for air cooler gpus

[wheat plume]

I need to try a different game

ive seen it in the 90s before

[crimson wigeon]

You should only start getting worried if the fan speed hits 100%

[ashen spindle]

again, up to 95 or so is normal unless it reaches that at 100% fanspeed

[wheat plume]

75% rn

87C

seems fine

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

Why do enemies take 5 shots of a Kar98 to kill

and two if its headshot

Fan speed 82%

Heyo. I'm not sure if this is the right channel but I have an issue with my wooting one. I tried to use it again today after a few months of not being at the PC and the entire number row doesn't work anymore, including the return key. I tried to update the firmeware, reset the the settings in wootility and resetting the entire keyboard by holding the 'mode' and 'right arrow' key. Nothing seems to work. The keys are still lighting up but they do not register any input. I hope you can help me out.

I also tried using different cables

you mean to the previous graph? because that seems to work?

No

Give me a minute

ok yeah that seems like the ios app just simply works differently because it doesnt have multiple views you swipe to?

[pale sigil]

Works the exact same quin

Exact same

I clocked the button and it opened the window

[ashen spindle]

so on samsung health heart rate you would have to tap to get to the earlier date instead of swiping to it?

maybe im missing something but that simply seems like the app just decided differently what to swipe to which seems normal?

[pale sigil]

You're missing the point entirely

[ashen spindle]

Instead of what it does it should basically do a back button when you swipe it from the left?

[pale sigil]

Also fuck steamos

[pale sigil]

I can't just go back using a global gesture

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah iOS doesn't have a system level back button from what I can tell with my extremely limited use of it

[ashen spindle]

yeah there is no universal gesture that is back button inside the app

app developers have the freedom to make it however its best for the app ironically

[fair gull]

guys any1 got recommendations for wireless headphones (id need 2.4g dongle for pc and bluetooth for on the go)

[crisp granite]

airpods pro
or airpods max

[charred lodge]

absolutely not

[crisp granite]

for either in-ear or over-ear respectively

[charred lodge]

id rather kill myself than use an apple product

sry

[crisp granite]

(unironically daily drives 100% apple gear)

with the exception of the mouse the odd time I pull it out for a gaming session on the go

magic mouse is turboshit

no doubt

[charred lodge]

(unironically uses a wired headset with the mic just taken off for music on the go)

got any other recommendations?

[crisp granite]

quit hating on one mindless corporation for the same reason you should really hate on all?

oh
and perhaps look at IEMs
wired

[charred lodge]

ive never used an apple product in my life

[crisp granite]

also Sony headphones

[charred lodge]

i see no reason to start now

• im worried about compability

[crisp granite]

airpods work over bluetooth

as far as I'm concerned, it's as plug and play as any other pair of headphones

[charred lodge]

yeah the thing is when gaming id prefer a 2.4g dongle connection

since with bluetooth + gaming ive only had bad experiences

how about these, are those any good

https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro-wireless

I don't touch stealseries

I've used many before and never had a good experience

any corp would love to be anti-consumer for their own benefit, and the anti-human rights thing... 1, a link pls, and 2...ok?

right to repair is a joke and you know it
no companies in the tech space are actually taking it seriously

[pale sigil]

Of course they aren't taking it serious but apple is among if not the worst in the industry for it

[crisp granite]

what could someone repair on an M-series macbook, if it's an SoC system
and all the parts are custom built?

[candid fiber]

At this point is there a better option than a tofu 60 for doing a transplant? Seems like they be sold out

any other case with DZ60 support

they're a dime a dozen out there, keep looking

perhaps check out #996573707235491950 for ideas

[pale sigil]

I'm not even on about right for repair

To be honest

Their warranty is scummy, their repair practices by themselves are scummy and leaked videos show they intentionly push staff to claim shit can't be fixed and to get a new one.

[cursive summit]

Ayy we shitting on Apple again

[pale sigil]

They will also not replace your device if it's broke with a new one, only a refurb of another device as they don't repair goods.

[crisp granite]

from someone I know who still works at the genius bar, and has for years
it's just that with how they're built
more often than not, it's just more trouble and cost to repair than to replace

[split garnet]

I bought these yesterday, Theyre amazing. I can hear every little footstep when playing comp games

[pale sigil]

Literally wrong

[cursive summit]

I want to join but I couldn't give a shit even if I wanted to discuss Apple's bullshit

[pale sigil]

In so many ways

It's been proven time and time again a 5 minute job the "genius" bar claims is unrepairable.

[cursive summit]

"Costs less to replace than repair" is some of the stupidest shit I have seen though

[pale sigil]

And that the whole board needs to be replaced because of so many cases of simple issues like ribbons being loose

[cursive summit]

It only costs less to replace cause Apple wants it to be so

[latent mural]

have these and its like jesus is on my ears

[pale sigil]

Or a port needs to be replaced.

[latent mural]

do it yourself then

[crisp granite]

between cost of a whole new mainboard and the cost of the person working on it...

[cursive summit]

Sorry for your really underdeveloped ears

[pale sigil]

Apple push customers to upgrade or replace with previously used hardware.

thanks for actually some feedback, can you 2 take it to dms already

And fyi I use an iPad

So I dabble

[latent mural]

dont really care mate wouldnt that be a blessing?? means i dont have to spend 1.5k to have "ok" headphones

[pale sigil]

Before I get the good olde apple hater msg

[cursive summit]

Who tf spends 1.5k on ok headphones

[crisp granite]

and the price of a really chunky brand new SUV for "really good" headphones

[cursive summit]

Well, Meze Empyreans exist

[latent mural]

they are bluetooth of course they arent going to sound like jesus

[pale sigil]

5 - 10 min job, so so many cases of this happening.

It's actually so messed up

[latent mural]

lol wish i could get a chunky suv for 1.5k idk what plannet u are on

[cursive summit]

Bluetooth can sound fine, the sound signature is just diabolically shit on those consumer headphones

[crisp granite]

I meant 50-60k

[split garnet]

No problem haha, Theyre well worth the money, the little dac you get for chainging EQ and the like is pretty amazing, they sound great, and with the steelseries GG software, you can enable sonar, itll change EQ based on whatever youre playing and make things easier to hear in competitive games, but make things sound amazing in story games

[crisp granite]

for really good headphones

[latent mural]

oh yeah

[cursive summit]

Saying it sounds good is just insulting to the headphone market

[crisp granite]

some of the top end stuff goes there or past

[cursive summit]

Tf are you muppets talking about

You don't need a Sennheiser HE-1 to enjoy music

[crisp granite]

all 50km of her girth

[latent mural]

speak to someone that cares, i like the way they sound, is it not personal preference? sure maybe they are total shit objectively but if someone thinks they are good then thats fine ??

[cursive summit]

Get a pair of 350$ Verum 1s and it's endgame audio

[split garnet]

Wear whatever you like the sound of!

[crisp granite]

I mean
I use airpods pro 2nd gen

between convenience, stellar noise cancelling and genuinely alright audio

scratches every itch for me lol

[latent mural]

i mean my pc headphones are only senheiser 599 se

[cursive summit]

You don't need to clarify that you are stupid, we already knew

[crisp granite]

...I am going to kiss you

on the mouth

[cursive summit]

Cmere then

[crisp granite]

if you aren't careful

[latent mural]

😬

[cursive summit]

If it's no herpes I'm all for it

[latent mural]

i know that my dad has some nice headphone setup bulshit where theres an audio cable that was like 100$

[cursive summit]

"audio cable"

You lost me on that one

[charred lodge]

alright thanks

[latent mural]

what is it then

if it carries audi

oo

[cursive summit]

[pale sigil]

Or baiting

[latent mural]

[cursive summit]

[crisp granite]

what?

vexx is masturbating to todd again?

[pale sigil]

Qwq

[latent mural]

how am i trolling

if my dad has a nice setup that i dont know anything about

[pale sigil]

^

[latent mural]

No i am seriously not capping

[pale sigil]

I said either trolling or something more to it

Aka you not understanding the equipment

[cursive summit]

Sorry, just peeps saying "good audio cable" are not meant to be taken seriously

[pale sigil]

Now say HD Audio

[latent mural]

well there would be a low quality one would there not

[pale sigil]

So I can laugh till new year

[cursive summit]

A cable is a damn cable, there is no upgrade path for it to increase audio quality

[pale sigil]

Well

[latent mural]

well there would be

[pale sigil]

Distance wise

And durability

But like

Home use you wouldn't care

[latent mural]

im no audio guy but i am fairly sure that there are cables that have special bullshit to reduce interference or somthing

[cursive summit]

Tell that to my 6 meter USB-C that doesn't have a repeater and runs VR perfectly

[latent mural]

wow vr

[cursive summit]

You got baited by misinformation

[pale sigil]

You're using a wire for VR??!?!

That's so 2017

[cursive summit]

I am anti-wireless, so yes

[pale sigil]

Wait no 2018

[cursive summit]

I am using a cable for nearly anything

[pale sigil]

Love playing over WiFi

[cursive summit]

Wireless is a scam

[crisp granite]

yeah bro just buy this fucking ALIEN ANTENAE for your fuckin VIVE COSMOS ELITE

as if anyone actually bought that shit xD

[pale sigil]

Someone doesn't have a good router

[cursive summit]

Wireless is literally a scam to upsell low quality shit to people that don't know any better

[pale sigil]

Ikr XD

[crisp granite]

350 CAD

mmm

ye

le nope

[pale sigil]

Imagine buying the cosmos

[cursive summit]

Tbf how good is Quest 2 with wireless

[latent mural]

wireless mice moment

its alright, i have 1600mbps link speed to router

[pale sigil]

Absolutely fantastic, though you need a good router for 120hz

[crisp granite]

I don't even have a VR headset yet
I'm just waiting for deckard

[cursive summit]

I want to try playing VR again but man do I hate how blurry the VR is

[crisp granite]

already preparing my modded to hell and back F4VR mod order

[pale sigil]

Are you blind

Or what headset did you use

[crisp granite]

iirc the quest 2 isn't that adjustable with distance from eye to lens or some shit iirc

assuming Vexx's eyes are totally out of whack, I could understand that

[cursive summit]

I have the thing where I can't see at really close ranges very well

And that range seems to extend to where the VR displays its contents

[pale sigil]

It is

[crisp granite]

wear corrective lenses
then strap the TV to your noggin
mum has never screamed at a worse idea

[cursive summit]

So it's blurry af for me

[pale sigil]

Ah

[cursive summit]

I am not spending a hundro or so on lenses

[pale sigil]

Tbh I didn't use my glasses for years out of fear

[crisp granite]

do you...not wear glasses?

[pale sigil]

But when it only cost me £280 I didn't give a shit

[cursive summit]

Never in my life

[crisp granite]

...my glasses all in, cost me that much

in

CAD

[cursive summit]

I don't even own any glasses

[crisp granite]

which is like...50% of the britbonger dinar's value

[cursive summit]

My eyesight is only bad up to like 10cm or so

That's literally nothing

Why would I wear glasses for that

VR experience being impacted isn't really enough for me to seek out an ophtalmologist or whatever they are called and getting prescription lenses

Is it ophthalmologist or ocularist

[crisp granite]

optometrist

[ashen spindle]

is farsighted
doesnt wear glasses
blames blurriness on VR
?????

[latent mural]

ok I went to go speak to my dad and asked him what headphones he uses and he said I think Hifi man susvara

is that good

[crisp granite]

????? = profit

[cursive summit]

I mean that's just wrong but whatever

[cursive summit]

Yes, they are good

[crisp granite]

I too dabble in being an idiot fanboi of polski-litwa-wealth

[cursive summit]

A bit overkill tbf that's like 5000$ can set

[latent mural]

yeah I just googled

[cursive summit]

You can get same experience for like 700$

Never knew why audiophiles overspend on equipment

[latent mural]

I mean I've used the headphones and to be honest to me it just sounds like 1000000000x clearer

[latent mural]

Which ones?

he didn't buy them he does reviews on them then send them back

then he gets new ones

[latent mural]

hifiman susvara

[cursive summit]

Scroll up like, 7 messages

[latent mural]

Sheesh

[cursive summit]

SUSvara isn't that insane tbf

There are better cans than that for cheaper

[cursive summit]

We found Z reviews offspring

[latent mural]

I ask him just now what amp he use and it is feliks audio envy headphone amp

again, idk if that's good

[cursive summit]

Never heard of it

Yeah Z reviews wouldn't review a 7k tube set, must be either headfonics or god forbid, ASR

[latent mural]

he started nerding out about it like it was handmade in Poland or Smthn

[latent mural]

its a more local company i think

not a small shop but a uk based business of some sort

i want a nice audio setup but i dont really care about the nitty gritty i just want someone to tell me what to buy and how to set it up

[quiet cliff]

Depends in the sound signature you like and what you are using it for

Like gaming or music or both ect…

[latent mural]

both but the sound quality when gaming doesnt bother me

only music

[quiet cliff]

For gaming open back are usually preferred, but if you want to be lost in listening in a song probably closed back would be better. As for a dac / amp a relatively affordable option is schiit magni modi stack, together probably about 250$. As for headphones if music is your biggest concern, I’m not 100% sure what to recommend because I use open back headphones for critical listening while taking

I use Beyerdynamic but they have a V shaped audio signature meaning the highs and lows are very pronounced, they have a closed back version of those (Dt 770 or dt 700 pro X, ext…) I’ve heard very good things about the 770s but can’t vouch personally as I’ve never owned them. The V shaped audio signature isn’t for everyone but I like it

[latent mural]

my dads rediculous 5.5k headphones are open back and when ive tried them, ive prefered them over my 599s even though they are quite open

[quiet cliff]

Some people do like open back for music it’s all personal preference. Majority of people I’ve talked to like closed back for music more, but all preferences

[latent mural]

have you tried the 599s ?

ill look up the sound profile

[quiet cliff]

I’ve tried the 560s not 599. And I did like them just didn’t like them as much as my Beyerdynamic’s the comfort of Beyerdynamic headphones are unmatched in my opinion

[latent mural]

i really like a circular shaped heaphone

oval ones feel too small

[quiet cliff]

How much are you looking at spending ?

Those are the ones I use as my main and I love them

[latent mural]

probably no more then 330 usd total

[quiet cliff]

They have heavy cramping force at the beginning tho and need a break in period

[latent mural]

this is the profile of my dads set which i really like

[quiet cliff]

Senhieser has good audio, I liked them when o tried them but O just loved the comfort of Beyerdynamic on my head. I’m not an expert in audio just did a lot of research when buying mine because I was in the same situation as you were I wanted to just have a good Audio set up. I can vouch for the beydernamic headphones because I’ve used them as well as the HD 560 from senhieser, I would recommend getting either the 900 or 700 pro X from beydernamic for about 250$ then you can look at a cheaper amp dac, but they do not require one just will make it sound better. Other than that the sound profile it looks like you like is more flat the a V shaped curve from Beyerdynamic. I would recommend either going to an audio place near you were you can try some out or purchase some and return what y or don’t like

I have the 900 pro x and can vouch they are really awesome even without an amp and dac, but everyone is different

[latent mural]

cheers mate ill look into beyerdynamic rn and ill look into some reviews too

when it comes to amps its imtimidating loool

[quiet cliff]

Yeah it is… a really good setup like I said was the magni modi stack from shiit but that will cost 250$ alone… a good alp dac combo usually is pretty pricey all though even a 50$ one will be better than nothing. Good luck finding what you like it is a bit of a rabbit hole 😂

[paper lance]

Anyone here who has any experience with the DT990s from Beyerdynamic?

Oh

Discussion on top here seems useful

[paper lance]

[final flame]

Very sharp sound signature in the high frequencies, Can't recommend it unless you know what sound signature fits your preferences

all of beyers headphones have some kind of quirk in the sound signature, usually are treble sharp

the only real beyer I could recommend is the dt880 more specifically the high ohm versions

the 560s is a far more likable sound signature, more of a warm neutral

[paper lance]

hmm

im sorta

stuck with a limited variety

cuz country

but thanks!

[shadow minnow]

Well they did actually improve it on new iPhones

@pale sigil

[ashen spindle]

You can be the worst company for it and still have some products where others are worse?

[shadow minnow]

Well iPhones are their main product

[shadow minnow]

They are pretty anti consumer but not the most for sure.

[shadow minnow]

My steelseries headset experience was horrible. Hinge broke really easily and well soundstage worse than on AirPods

[fair gull]

i mean... 👀

[pale sigil]

Again, this isn't what I was focusing on.

Lol

[ashen spindle]

https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/22/apple-customers-return-devices-for-repairs/ cant repair it because they always replace too much so apple repair shops have weeks of waiting time and 3rd party places have spare parts 🤡

so they charge more, waste more, take longer

but that topic is just beating a dead horse imo

[reef patrol]

It's almost as if Apple products aren't ACTUALLY designed with repairability in mind or something.

[cursive summit]

Never have been

Remember those times when you could actually pop the back of your phone cover off and take the battery out?

Yeah me neither, must be like 2 decades ago that trend ended

[reef patrol]

My ancient iMac would like a word 😄

[cursive summit]

Apple was like, actually good a while ago

[reef patrol]

Of course it predates the shift to Intel.

[cursive summit]

But then they got corrupt with cash

[young niche]

Aren't most companies nowadays like that? Fuck the consumers because people at commercial side DGAF what products they make as long as it fits their purposes and they always can make justifications to the investor to spend that kind of money to get them.

And commercial side always have biggest share in the market compared to consumers anyway unless you focus your product solely on consumers.

[reef patrol]

Not - really.

[ashen spindle]

if you aren't the literally biggest company in the world and control what people like you are far better off having good will with the consumer so they like your stuff for more reasons and thus are willing to pay more which in turn makes your investors happy

[young niche]

There is this, more competition in the same sector would help consumers more.

But things like closed ecosystem and monopoly like Apple and Nvidia makes it impossible unless government control or some breakthrough in technology that is public and open happens and more and more people increasingly adopt them

[cursive summit]

Which is why we need nationalism

NSDAP had a point until they went to shit

[wheat plume]

🤔

what

[crimson wigeon]

Clickbait

[wheat plume]

If this is about a Steam Deck 2, Valve said they arent increasing the Deck's peformance for another few years at least

So the next Deck is likely to be a screen or battery improvement

how TF does a 210 degree lens work?

[reef patrol]

Same way as 360" ones do

[wheat plume]

the ability to change the sky with video is awesome LOL

put yourself into the matrix :')

Im scared to look at the price of this camera

ok, not bad actually

[shadow minnow]

That sale countdown is horrible

[wheat plume]

actually, this must be the sale price

[empty wren]

Bruh could get a pixel for that money

[wheat plume]

wtf is the not sale price?

Yep

[shadow minnow]

I think it’s just without the bonuses when not on sale

[astral haven]

you say that but a good number of intel macs are highly repairable and included long enough display ribbons that they dont stretch and break by just opening and closing the lid

[astral haven]

many super cheap laptops end up being repairable simply because it makes the laptops less expensive

[reef patrol]

Apple has flip flopped a lot over the years. But my iMac takes three screws to pop the entire back off, no fiddling with the glass front or anything. Nothing is soldered, so anything short of the mainboard is easily replaced.

[astral haven]

same for the imac i requisitioned from my grandma

after it lost security updates

still runs windows 10 great but she wanted macos

[shadow minnow]

Well it will shorten the lifespan for sure

Today I discovered the dark reader add on is actually useful for me sometimes.
Unlike what the name implies, it can also force light themes on sites that only support dark mode.
Granted it looks rather ugly but it's definitely a good enough solution for those few sites that do.

[mighty flower]

Hoping this will be good

[pale sigil]

Better be for that price lol

And that delivery

I just wouldn't

[solar hinge]

28 for shipping? does it come with a pc?

[pale sigil]

Wooting is £15 lol

[solar hinge]

i hope you see the difference between 15 and 28 or you need to go back to kindergarten

[pale sigil]

Ofc but it's still gufh XD

[solar hinge]

i am presuming this pulsar also comes from outside of the UK as well?

[pale sigil]

I'd imagine America

[ashen spindle]

yeah

[solar hinge]

but you guys have such a great brexit deal with them, i'd expect it to be cheaper :p

[ashen spindle]

tbf could also be expedited or so, we dont see what delivery it is

[solar hinge]

well it was the option without dignity

[sleek thicket]

Anyone ever experienced a grey screen then crashed? Been happening a lot recently

Never thought of doing that, reinstalling my GPU drivers and will check that when next it happens

[ashen spindle]

why next time, should still be there unless its weeks ago that it last happened

[sleek thicket]

Not sure of the exact time it happened today and wouldn’t be certain exactly what to look out for with the amount of things in event viewer

Why does mv always work recursively by default but not cp?

got to use the -rflag for cp

[ashen spindle]

did you read the manual

[wheat plume]

yes, thats why I know mv is always recursive

[ashen spindle]

if a manual doesnt have it I recommed trying the first google result

Hey everyone I am new to building Keyboards... I was looking at building a keyboard for work so that I can take to my office. I like the Banana Split switches.... Can I use those switches in a hot swap board?

Thank you for any information you can give me

[ashen spindle]

the lekker switches? no

you need a board that has the right sensors and all

if you mean a generic one #archived_keebs_talk has more people looking at it that would know best

[torpid flint]

Thank you!

[cursive summit]

Hell yeah! https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-found-for-sale/

Nvidia, Nvidia!

$1,092 is a fuckin rip off that will make even the XT look good holy mother of christ

[crimson wigeon]

Why not, people are clearly willing to pay these ludicrous prices

[cursive summit]

Man I swear what is this reality, not even 800$ but whole 1000+

Like I would understand 800$ cause you know, price gauging

But nearly 2x? Like what the fuck

Man I'll just wait to get a 3070 of sorts for like 350$ second hand

[ashen spindle]

cant wait for next crypto boom on 50 series release so people thinnk 40 series will go down in used price and then it stays up forever

[crisp granite]

honestly dawg

I'd be willing to sell mine on

in like...2.5 years when I build a new PC, when win10 gets sunset

[cursive summit]

Man I would love to get the 6800XT

But honestly, I had enough of AMD drivers and lack of CUDA

AMD drivers just always crash on me and I read not much better things of the 6000 series, plus the 7000 still launched with broken drivers apparently

[ashen spindle]

what would you even do with cuda

[crisp granite]

not ARC levels, but still shit

[cursive summit]

Stable Diffusion v2.1

[ashen spindle]

the thing that also works on amd?

[cursive summit]

It works with Rocm but it's annoying to set up and a lot slower

[ashen spindle]

also issue yea but drivers aren't really an issue so far

[cursive summit]

Wdym drivers aren't an issue

If that's regarding 7000 series then maybe, I haven't been following that whole thing that much

But my 5700 runs really badly with these drivers even after sequential factory resets

[ashen spindle]

yes but not for after rdna1

[cursive summit]

Like I love the performance of this card but it's really unstable

[ashen spindle]

we've been over this rdna2 drivers have been generally no more problems than team green

[cursive summit]

Uh, I can't say that's too true considering the posts I've been seeing on forums regarding bad drivers on 6700XT's, etc

But meh, I just can't be bothered with AMD that much, I'd rather just 3070

[ashen spindle]

running a 6800 since release so I have been following that topic

[barren field]

guys what mouse do you think is better Model O- or G superlight?

[cursive summit]

G superlight

But the best mouse right now that you can buy is Deathadder v3 pro

[barren field]

ahh okay ty :D

sheesh probably gonna cop

but damn thats alot for a mouse

[cursive summit]

A mouse should last about 4 years

150$ or so for a mouse is like, not terrible?

Like, a good mattress is like 400$ at least and those are typically up to 10 years after it's recommended to get a new one

[barren field]

hmm

[cursive summit]

So if you follow the logic of getting a new item every cycle or so, it's not that bad of an investment

[barren field]

yea

[cursive summit]

Wooting breaks that rule though, you get a 200$ keyboard right now and never get a new one

[empty wren]

Could find a used one

[barren field]

yea i need a new mouse and a new keep

[cursive summit]

When it comes to keebs though, you don't need the best keyboard

Imo a 60$ keeb is plenty enough

Same for a mouse honestly

You can't buy skills unless it's cheats

[barren field]

true :(

[cursive summit]

I think I'm on a Viper rn

It's a mouse that I really like and it doesn't break your budget

I don't feel like I need to upgrade to "unlock more performance"

[barren field]

yea i had the viper

[cursive summit]

And tbf I'm also using Wooting flaretech which is like what, 100$?

I don't feel like I need another keyboard either

Ultra-premium is imo, a scam

[empty wren]

Disagree

[barren field]

mine some times just has a 5 sec delay

randomly

[empty wren]

Some gets your more features and some feels much more nice

[cursive summit]

What performance do you get for ultra-premium when it comes to peripherals that you get for 2x the price

[empty wren]

I got multiple buttons under each finger

[cursive summit]

You don't get 2x the features and definitely not 2x the comfort

Diminishing returns kick in fast in the peripheral market

Probs after 60-70$ it's already diminishing value

[empty wren]

Well I think the Z has all that

[cursive summit]

I fuckin hate that letter, holy shit

Tf is a Z

[empty wren]

The analog mouse

[cursive summit]

I don't know what you are talking about

[empty wren]

There is mouse that can sense how hard you press into a button

[barren field]

well ima just watch

[empty wren]

And it has buttons for each joint of a finger

[cursive summit]

That sounds really weird

[ashen spindle]

who tf calls it "the z"

https://www.swiftpoint.com/en-de/products/gaming-mice-swiftpoint-z

[cursive summit]

That makes a lot more sense

[empty wren]

It is called the Z in some of the marketing I believe

[cursive summit]

That looks god awful though

[barren field]

that looks so ugly man

[cursive summit]

Omron switches? Isn't that like not even that good

[cursive summit]

Fuck whoever does their marketing

[empty wren]

20million

And all the Logitech mice use the same

[ashen spindle]

?? its like 4 years old so you cant blame their marketing

[cursive summit]

What on earth

You have to tilt your mouse to actually use a feature

That is a really bad idea

[barren field]

GYROSCOPE ON A MOUSE NAWWW 💀

[empty wren]

It is pretty good for free look and not at all

[cursive summit]

Nah I'd have major OCD to tilt my mouse

[empty wren]

Most of the gyroscope functionality is behind having to lift it

[empty wren]

Well there is pivot as well

That is non lifting function of gyroscope

[barren field]

shit look like the mouses that old ppl use

[cursive summit]

Lol nah

[ashen spindle]

its obv not for fps and if you want a mouse that replaces the need for a joystick who tf cares that it doesnt have rgb bling

[empty wren]

It has a bit of RGB actually

But sure it is not lightest thing in the world

[cursive summit]

RGB is literally in their marketing, and also screw rgb

How to consume extra electricity

[empty wren]

Nothing to be concerned about if the mouse is wired

[ashen spindle]

or w/e makes it look like an old ppl mouse then, I don't really look at any mouse I use because I have my hand above it

[cursive summit]

You people look at your keyboard as well?

Cause keyboard rgb is also completely stupid

In general any rgb is just plain old stupid

[empty wren]

Here is my argument for it on a mouse

Profiles indicator

[crimson wigeon]

It is indeed, but still I kinda like the ripple effect on my board because it looks fun when typing

[ashen spindle]

not to type but I use it to see if the pc is up or so

[empty wren]

Also it is not like on all these peripherals you cannot turn it off

[wheat plume]

RGB is meh, but I do require a backlight

even if its just a still color

but not on a mouse... xd

[cursive summit]

I'd rather those just not be included so it's not even a consideration when designing the product

[empty wren]

Well nothing is stopping you from cutting it out and throwing it away

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cursive summit]

Sorry, I don't feel like paying extra for a useless feature that I will turn off or "cut out"

[empty wren]

Maybe could save a few grams by doing that

[empty wren]

Bruh lol you do not pay extra for that

[cursive summit]

What's a couple of grams worth

[empty wren]

If you look around almost every mouse has lighting now

Unless it is some office mouse

[cursive summit]

I can't really feel 350g headphones on my head let alone 60g of my mouse

[empty wren]

Well that is because you never wore mice on your ears

Jokes aside sometimes paying more does give you more features and more comfort

[cursive summit]

How much comfort you get by paying more is really limited by the materials bill

The "comfort materials" don't cost that much and are included in cheap ass stuff

[empty wren]

I would not even just say materials

Shape is important to anything

But sure it is nice to have cheapo leatherette on stuff

[cursive summit]

Man I dislike leather after gaming chairs

It's so bad quality that I'd just rather have some weird foam or whatever

Give me latex or whatever

[empty wren]

I got a good office chair

[cursive summit]

I did the same after gaming chairs

Got a budget (150$) office and it's far better than a gaming one

Thought tbf I don't feel that comfortable in this one either

[empty wren]

Just get a stump then

It will help you with good posture

Smell nice

And look like the floor if you do not have carpet

[cursive summit]

I kinda want the same exact reclining chair or whatever it's called that Louis used to always sit in when recording

[empty wren]

Just get a rocking chair

[cursive summit]

Man that thing looks super dope

Can't be cheap though

[ashen spindle]

thats just a couch armchair

what are the bars

green red

[shadow minnow]

Intel is doing surprisingly well

[ashen spindle]

it includes oem so intel is just dumping everything there so the sales dont really mean anything

[pale sigil]

Any advice for cheap bitcoin fees

Coinbase is steep

And i dont understand coinbase pro

@crisp granite ?

[quasi acorn]

oh i just got it mb, ive been dealing with major brain fog

[crisp granite]

don't use bitcoin?
there is no regulatory body governing exchanges so I'd steer clear?

[pale sigil]

seller dont accept normie money

[crisp granite]

tell em they're a tard and you'll give em real money

[pale sigil]

Im hiring a hitman against Mansen

[crisp granite]

even spot them conversion fees

[crisp granite]

then give them bills
via dead drop
non-sequential

[pale sigil]

[ashen spindle]

btc doesnt really have a cheap way, try your luck with binance or a manual wallet I guess

[tranquil idol]

NGL it's a chunky card...

[crisp granite]

something wrong with NVidia

shit prices and gigantic cards

[tranquil idol]

Ehh I got it for under 1k so I'm not to angry about it... Now my 4090 strix... Yeah I'm angry about it 😑

[ashen spindle]

how tf do you get a >200 discount

[tranquil idol]

But all the software and stuff I do for my work is all CUDA...

[tranquil idol]

367 and something cents... It was at best buy with a honey code.

[cursive summit]

@pale sigil Kraken

Why didn't the reply work

Oh whatever

[tranquil idol]

The strix card I have though I only got like 100 off with my best buy points

[cursive summit]

Kraken has lowish fees and is widely regarded as the better exchange

[ashen spindle]

well if its for work any silly price can make sense if its still making more

[tranquil idol]

Yeah... Still I hate being vender locked...

[crisp granite]

mmm ASUS ROG Strix 4080 for $2060

what a wonderful world

[tranquil idol]

Ouch I got my 4090 strix much cheaper than that...

[crisp granite]

I live in a third world country, even more so than yours

dollars are worthless xD

[tranquil idol]

Fair enough I guess lol

[ashen spindle]

yeah the 4080 coolers are wayyyyy to overbuilt

[pale sigil]

ayyup

[ashen spindle]

wonder if there is a somewhat up to date info paper on how much efficency you actually loose if you run at 80c instead of 60c for example

because I wonder if it's still relevant and not just a waste to basically not let it run to max temps to keep fans/coolers smaller

[tranquil idol]

Yeah I'm going to be water blocking this as well

Holy shit this was a trip

DP pin 20 frying and malfunctioning PCs

Somehow card orientation also supposedly impacts how a card behaves

This is some voodoo type scenario

[fair gull]

now the orientation stuff sounds more like shitty airflow

the dp pin 20 is sadly smth i dealt with a few times

[halcyon moss]

wow, thats news to me! good to know!

are they expensive?

yeah.. kinda they are :/

[fair gull]

is 15bucks expensive?

[frozen ingot]

my old laptop has mini-dp

[halcyon moss]

15 is ok

[frozen ingot]

nowadays they insist on cramming everything into usb-c though

[halcyon moss]

my old old laptop also had one. worked well

[vagrant pagoda]

20pin is only from bad cables

[formal vortex]

anyone here knowledgeable about current used market prices for cpu/mobo and ram? want to build something for someone to play 1080p and not super demanding demanding games. have a leftover gtx1070 already and an older psu

budget around 200 euros maybe

[ashen spindle]

look at ebay and see what the sold prices are and see what you can get, that just varies hard on region and what people are selling currently

[shadow minnow]

I wish the monitor or card just had a chip to determine if it detects 20pin input, that would shut its side off in the case

As in, compare voltage on the pin when not active, if too much above ground then just disconnect it or sth

[ashen spindle]

god no

just make the spec not shit

dont make more hardware for fixing a issue that shouldnt exist

[shadow minnow]

Well it exists

So it would be nice if new cards could deal with it

[young niche]

Nvidia should just use IEC connectors for their cards.
Less fuss and handles way a lot of power but chunky

[shadow minnow]

If you pair them with older monitors/cables

[ashen spindle]

nvidia? this is about the DP spec not the 12 pin

[young niche]

It's user's error if they pair their rigs with underpowered PSU anyways

[ashen spindle]

we're not talking about the power connector

[young niche]

😅 My mistake for not going off the topic here

Maybe I shouldn't try to read on moving vehicles

[halcyon moss]

there is a lot of rattling going on in my house...
moving data to a new nas

[pale sigil]

is a 5800h laptop a bad investment atm

[halcyon moss]

can you get one for cheap?

[pale sigil]

Pretty cheap aye

With a 3050

My concern is it good for heavy use.

I made the mistake of going with Intel U series CPU once lol

[cursive summit]

Is that the MSI Katana or whatever it's called

Unless it's like 500$ I would skip

[pale sigil]

Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16

[cursive summit]

That's a thin and light innit

[pale sigil]

its super thin and i can get it cheap

[cursive summit]

How much

[pale sigil]

500-600 quid

[cursive summit]

I mean, that's respectable

It's not going to be a gaming powerhouse though

[pale sigil]

I know

[cursive summit]

You'll be let down by the GPU

[pale sigil]

its a 3050, it would run games alright at 1080p.

[cursive summit]

The CPU is mighty fine for casual tasks, I experienced how amazing those AMD laptop chips are firsthand

Extremely nimble

[pale sigil]

if i played games it would not be new AAA games, most newest game would be Fortnite

[cursive summit]

But yeah the 3050 is the limiting factor and I imagine for Fortnite it'll drive that easily

[pale sigil]

I saw other lappy's but they aren't super thin

[shadow minnow]

M1 Pro is more powerful than 11900k lol

[cursive summit]

Which display are you getting

[halcyon moss]

ive got a 6900HS in my zepherus g14, its quite fast and if you want, long battery

[cursive summit]

Nobody mentioned apple so henceforth, fuck off

[shadow minnow]

People are mentioning laptop chips here

[pale sigil]

AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H Processor (3.20 GHz up to 4.40 GHz)
16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600), IPS, Glare, Touch, VESA HDR 400, 100%sRGB, 500 nits, 120Hz, Low Blue Light, TUV Certification, Eyesafe Certification, LED Backlight

is the version

[cursive summit]

Oh shit that's a really good display

[shadow minnow]

So henceforth I am mentioning one

[pale sigil]

the screen is also very attractive to me

[cursive summit]

Touch enabled??

[pale sigil]

ye

[reef patrol]

AND gaming. So Apple is out immediately.

[cursive summit]

I like that offering

[reef patrol]

[shadow minnow]

Is it though?
