Yep which is dumb and isn't allowed
Unfortunately it used to be allowed but :/

sharp badger
#

There should be some better indicator

astral haven
#

Right here

sharp badger
#

Yeah but everybody should follow that so that there wouldn't be any confusion

astral haven
#

Agreed

#

That's why I only buy cables that do follow the new specs

shadow minnow
#

Do you know what’s also fun with usb standards?

#

Usb 2.0 high speed and full speed

#

Two different speeds

astral haven
#

Those aren't different cables

shadow minnow
#

Yes but the speed it runs at is different

astral haven
#

You aren't allowed to make a "low speed" only cable

shadow minnow
#

Well it’s a thing with mcus so it does bother me xD

astral haven
#

An end device that only needs 1mbps doesn't need to support running at high or full speed

astral haven
shadow minnow
#

Well in this case I am the end user kinda

astral haven
#

Ok it will never bother the end user purchaser of an already compliant device

#

And it absolutely will never affect a customer of a compliant device

shadow minnow
#

Well yes but if you want to make a custom pcb for yourself it will bother you

#

Or even if you buy let’s say arduino or such it may

astral haven
#

🤦‍♂️

#

If you can do that, and can't read a logo, that's on you

shadow minnow
#

No it’s not about reading a logo, it’s about mentions in datasheet, it’s not clear if high speed or full speed is supposed to be faster from the name

astral haven
#

Low is slow, full is middle, high is high

#

And that's an ancient issue

#

Dating back to the early 00's

SO like

#

What DDR4 is your go to @ashen spindle

ashen spindle
#

amd? whatever gets you 3600

empty wren
#

It is good to see an improvement ionstorm, though not liking the idea of optical since that will limit switch options

pale sigil
#

@ashen spindle for a new build do you think 5800x3d is a good choice

#

or how are ddr5 prices

ashen spindle
#

idk man I dont know uk prices

pale sigil
#

US

ashen spindle
#

nor the budget nor what target resolution nor what games

pale sigil
#

$2000

tight forge
#

arguably you could wait for the new x3d chips

pale sigil
#

aye

#

hence the ddr5 question

#

haven't looked much into it

#

hmm

tight forge
#

$50-$75 more for ddr5

pale sigil
#

like whats "good" speed for ddr5

tight forge
#

6000 for am5

ashen spindle
#

we dont know since we dont know if the imc is better binned for v cache chips or if they can do with lower speeds

pale sigil
#

if i was going for a new build id probably aim for new amd series but even the mobos cost a lot more id imagine

ashen spindle
#

depending on game/resolution/framerate 5600 for 130 would be fine

tight forge
#

b650 not that bad anymore

ashen spindle
#

you're not giving us lot to work with

im going to push for 144hz/1080 min

ashen spindle

bruh

#

what games

Forspoken obviously

ashen spindle
#

at this rate I'm more suspecting sex with hitler or some furry visual novel

pale sigil
#

point is she aint paying for it so fuck it

ashen spindle
#

if someone else pays for it just get the best

pale sigil
#

bloody sugardaddy

#

lol

ashen spindle
#

but why ask if there is no budget then

old marlin
#

Bad enough that 2/3 companies that used them abandoned them already

#

Asus literally only included them in one mouse, still uses compatible sockets though

#

And corsair just silently swapped to ttc

#

Only one left is the g502X

#

Also boasting to be able to consistently do 1khz is laughable

#

Also why is it another kickstarter

#

They already have the software and toolings

empty wren
empty wren
#

They definitely could a done like 4kz

#

It does

#

People lost money on Kickstarter

astral haven
#

And they make it very clear

#

You have to check a box saying you understand that before you pledge now

pale sigil
#

hmm, any linux arm mail servers

empty wren
old marlin
#

Afaik they just feel bad

empty wren
#

Okay guess I might get m2k pcba then if everything else ends up being same same

empty wren
#

Has anyone tried cream clickies

#

I mean I really like kalih 4.0 red microswitches

#

Those feel great

#

And the snapback too

crisp granite
#

they made cream clicks?

#

I thought we just had creams, box creams, blueberries and were waiting for box blueberries

pale sigil
#

Self hosted VPN baby.

empty wren
#

Yeah those exist

ashen spindle
#

for what reason though

pale sigil
#

Experience innit

#

i prob wont use it outside of public networks

empty wren
gusty kiln
#

so they turned bubble wrap into a switch?

empty wren
#

Someone said they feel cleaner than a click bar switch

gusty kiln
empty wren
#

The clickbars have a ting

#

Which some people absolutely cannot stand

gusty kiln
#

guessing the topre-feel type switches are old news now

crisp granite
#

no such thing

#

at least in an MX form factor

#

unless it's an integrated dome with slider switch

#

which is quite possibly the worst ALPS switch known to man

crisp granite
#

I ordered 3

gusty kiln
#

like the pandas that were super hyped a few years back

crisp granite
#

that was the selling point of them?

gusty kiln
#

yeah

crisp granite
#

didn't feel at all like it to me lol

gusty kiln
#

kek

#

yeah no where near smooth enough in the force curve

empty wren
#

I feel most tactiles are just round anyways

empty wren
#

Lol

#

Yeah I do not like that personally

#

Something about sharp feels right

crisp granite
gusty kiln
empty wren
#

Those are nice

#

Even the weak ones

old marlin
#

Round tactiles are the best

#

Also don't get kailh box tactiles

#

They start clicking

Is the 60he faster then the twohe? For few month the twohe was 1,4ms and the 60he was 1ms. is it still like this?

I'm not a mind reader. I can't really tell you why you're unable to find the information.

can someone from the wooting team answer my question? Here on discord

reef patrol
#

Dude...

#

Look at my roles.

latent mural

#

The 2HE... has the same specs ... as the 60HE.

#

More keys so it takes a fraction of a second longer for each scan, but you're not going to be able to tell in practice.

#

Hey I'm Wooting Team, I'm here to assist you with your query!

#

The controller switch really shouldn't make a big impact on the latency, and since the 2HE is a bigger keyboard, it naturally is a bit slower, so it might be like a teeny bit slower but around the same anyways.

#

ms don't matter though

Okay so Im basically building a mod for my wooting keyboard to make it wireless. And my question might be stupid, but hey whatever XD:
So Usb A pinouts is like following, but as USB-C (the one wooting comminucates through) has double pinouts in mirrrored orientation, I should only need to hook up CC1 and CC2 to VCC, all 4 grounds to ground and the respective USB 2.0 data? Right?

#

Because Im gonna hook it up to an USB shield for arduino for a first iteration test and add a radio module talking to one of these typical USB wireless reciever you put in the computer

fair gull
#

you dont just hookup cc1 and cc2 to vcc

#

im not 100% sure but you can just ignore the cc pins

chrome prawn
#

Well I will need power over USB

#

becasue the idea is to power the keyboard through the usb adapter thingy

fair gull
#

the 60he is the only one im not 100% sure on if we have a usb-c chip onboard but all other keyboards we just used cc1 and cc2 to enable the usb2 mode basically

#

so 5v come in on vcc limited to 1amp i believe

chrome prawn
#

Is there a diagram or specsheets I can find anywhere for the wooting keybaord?

#

Specifically for the USB

fair gull
#

idk why it would be needed... the host in this case the arduino shield needs to provide its own usb a interface or usb pd chip with a c port

#

if its a you just connect them as you posted yourself...

#

vcc to vcc

#

gnd to gnd

#

data pins to the data pins

chrome prawn
#

USB-C doesnt have "vcc" pins

fair gull
#

vbus is vcc

chrome prawn
#

Oh im just stupid

fair gull
#

cc pins are used to communicate power draw of the client device mainly

#

so the shield doesnt need to worry

#

also a note if you werent aware: modding things on the pcb or by connecting self made stuff to the usb is not covered under warranty. so please dont break it

chrome prawn
fair gull
#

the main thing would be making sure you dont accidentally overvolt it

#

and ofc not connecting the wrong pins

chrome prawn
#

I'm gonna put a over voltage protection circuit for 5V between the power delivery and the components

#

and the 5v provider will probably be same as the standard one in the 5v battery banks for phones

wheat plume
#

.-. the TSA could end up "searching" kids if they share a name with someone in the No Fly List

#

BRUH

#

they are kids.... arent adults only on that list?

chrome prawn
#

Wait, the no fly list is name bound? Not ID bound?

#

LOL

wheat plume
#

yup

#

first, last names

#

and DOB

#

it also contains sex, passport number and other random shit they think are relevant

fair gull
#

so the TSA cant end up searching kids

wheat plume
#

they do if they share a name with someone in the list, allegedly ..

fair gull
#

i think youre watching some clickbait yt person again

#

idk what TSA agent would go yep name matches and dob makes them 30... this small midget looking like a child could be them

wheat plume
#

they only check names

#

usually

chrome prawn
#

^ ngl, with all that information like DOB and Passport number, its almost impossible to have two people with same info (nvm it actually is impossible)

wheat plume
#

Yeah

#

youd think

fair gull
#

i am almost sure

#

they dont takle you immediately

#

but

#

take you to the side if the name matches

#

and then check the rest

chrome prawn
fair gull
#

i now also would like to know where you read this information

#

that 4month old baby over there... its on the list proceeds to tackle it and choke hold it until it hand over a passport

wheat plume
#

🤔 aha

fair gull
#

clearly states they tackle and search you immediately

#

in that screenshot

wheat plume
#

xd

fair gull
#

we can all hate on the TSA

#

but with their track record id sooner believe they dont check at all than immediately search you

wheat plume
#

hmm

#

do large companies use Git to handle proprietary code repos???

chrome prawn
#

Yes, some do

ashen spindle
#

no they like to torture themselves and only use SVN

chrome prawn
#

usually privately hostd git instances

wheat plume
#

ahh

chrome prawn
#

Company I work for uses a private hosted Gitlab instance

wheat plume
#

Gitlab is neat..but I couldnt get it to work via command line :/

chrome prawn
fair gull
#

theres only 1 thing i dont like about gitlab

#

its not github ui

#

im too used to github

wheat plume
#

Yeah, Github UI is good

chrome prawn
#

I think both are great :) But yes, the UI on github is a bit better

#

Havent used the new Gitlab UI doe, they were making a redesign a bit back

fair gull
#

idk i always fail to navigate gitlab repos

#

looks almost good now

#

just needs the code left or centered not right

#

merge requests

#

cringe

#

github selfhosted would be the dream

chrome prawn
wheat plume
#

1200 for a phone......

#

why

#

and no charger cable

#

fair, people usually have more USB C cables than charger bricks

#

whats that textured area on the side of the S23 Ultra?

#

rlly discord

#

.-. THIS IS NOT EXPLICIT

#

this

chrome prawn
#

About the USB-C

#

Thank god that EU said USB-C is required

#

No more proprietary BS from apple

wheat plume
#

No.....Apparently Apple arent doing it

chrome prawn
#

Well then they are not allowed to sell in EU

wheat plume
#

the US is their main market anyway

#

right?

chrome prawn
#

Not really

#

its one of the main markets

#

but not the main

wheat plume
#

I still hate the status bar icons

chrome prawn
#

If Apple work around the USB-C its that they probbaly gonna make exclusively wireless cahrging, so you have to buy the charging docks from them dogekek

wheat plume
#

Yeah

#

Im betting they do that

#

There is rumours of a portless iPhone for years, this may be it soon

#

no charging port, no sim tray, power buttons capacitive instead of physical

#

Better icons

#

200mp go crazy

fair gull
#

mp are meaningless nowadays

wheat plume
#

one of my friends IRL recently swapped to iPhone and she legit said to me that no one else is doing cameras with a higher MP than Apple currently and how 45MP or whatever the new one has is totally insane

#

and then I showed her many examples of Android phones with higher MP

fair gull
#

which still says nothing about picture quality

#

the iphone 14 has what... 12mp

#

it beats many many other phones

ashen spindle
#

mp has become the nanometer of chips, just marketing

fair gull
#

post processing is just such a big factor nowadays that MP is almost worthless

chrome prawn
#

(in general terms)

ashen spindle
#

no it doesnt

#

the nanometer numbers they give have not relation to any size, its just made up

#

for like a decade now

#

7nm nodes have fin pitches of like 30nm

chrome prawn
# ashen spindle no it doesnt

Please explain what you mean by this? I stated that smaller chips and smaller transistors consume less power. Also the size advertized is the nodes them selves Im pretty sure

ashen spindle
#

different fabs use the same nanometer numbers, they dont mean anything in relation to the actual size of anything and cant be compared to other fabs

#

so intel 7nm is totally different from tsmc 7nm

chrome prawn
#

Oh you mean like that

#

Wait, so the size of the chip node really has no standard?

ashen spindle
#

so just comparing on MP between apple and android wont do the entire picture

#

yeah its just made up

#

just goes down because that was how it was before 2010 or so

chrome prawn
#

Ah I see 👍

ashen spindle
#

does the clipchamp tool thing handle videos above 1080p?

#

video editor in win10 works fine but only does 1080p

chrome prawn
ashen spindle
#

just need it to cut down videos, no editing so something more lightweight would be ideal

chrome prawn
#

Ah fair

ashen spindle
#

I miss the older windows editor, worked fine for the, just open file, select start/end and it was done lol

cursive summit
#

#

#

I just want to trim down shadowplay videos because when I save a gigabyte clip discord doesnt like me uploading it lmfao

vagrant pagoda
#

Handbrake is what you wabt

#

Just fire it up, load video in player

#

Get the start and end time

#

And put that in handbrake

#

Then set handbrake to encode for discord

#

It has free and nitro presets

ashen spindle
#

yeah gonna do that, I just wish the old windows tool was back, I really dont understand why they removed that lol

pale sigil
#

is it normal i cant even play Minecraft on the battery

ashen spindle
#

no really we have no clue what you are on about

pale sigil
#

I HATE ISO

ashen spindle
#

yes I was kind of assuming you are not running it on your fridge

pale sigil
#

soon

ashen spindle
#

what laptop

#

and if you did some fucked up OS on it, idk what that disables on battery

pale sigil
#

Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16

#

irrc the battey cant provide enough watt?

ashen spindle
#

could limit powerdraw and test that

#

but if you have a scuffed OS on it I would think that is more likely the reason

pale sigil
#

fresh install

#

i cant play d2 also unless i plug it in

#

mc java btw

#

this should not be a thing

ashen spindle
#

yes but we also already found out its if you have like 10 devices on your account

#

so basically a non issue

pale sigil
#

so what if i did

#

idk how that justifies stopping me

ashen spindle
#

I started out by saying I agree

#

I bet with pro you can have more

#

thats normal licensing tiers

pale sigil
#

but i have pro on every device

ashen spindle
#

or enterprise or w/e its called then

pale sigil
#

one thing i find annoying about laptop gpus

#

is having to make sure shit uses the gpu

ashen spindle
#

thats fully on the OEM unless you custom install an os

pale sigil
#

ye im starting to feel like i need to use lenovo shit vs just rely on nvidia control panel

ashen spindle
#

just turn off igpu

pale sigil
#

i tried it and its funky

#

HUH

#

Ye it seems like its pretty much impossible to game via battery power

#

:/

#

maybe its because of the 5800h

#

i googled and it seem to be one of the most frequent issues popping up

#

apparently the 5 series amd in general are battery hogs

#

which is a bit annoying

#

tbh

vagrant pagoda
#

i have no idea home im going to organize those cables

pale sigil
#

do they need to be?

vagrant pagoda
#

pale sigil
#

does it have a side panel

vagrant pagoda
#

lol

pale sigil
#

can we abolish iso

vagrant pagoda
#

#

but yeah

#

i got it for $20 last week

i didnt look at the hardware becaus it had a stock cooler on it

this graph must be extremely overclocked because my cpu-z says something completely different. running at 100% playing warzone 2 and other titles my 13900k is barely pulling 90w the 4090 fe as well at 100% is barley pulling 250w. dont believe everything you read.

astral haven

As it says in the title

ashen spindle
#

yeah y cruncher is not a gaming benchmark lel

astral haven
#

The graph shows you how well the CPUs abide by their power limits in stress tests
And the answer is poorly

rich juniper
#

extremely stressed is what it doesnt say lol ive overclocked s few times and still couldnt reach that not even close

#

running 3d architectural programs

astral haven
#

I'll bet $100 that there is a stress test you can run that will pull more than thay

rich juniper
#

they are doing that test and don't mention that after the cpu is completely fried out. who does that but youtubers who get sample models.

astral haven
rich juniper

You have to do your own testing my friend.

astral haven

i have one and did stress tresting lmao

testing

astral haven
#

According to you, you didnt

rich juniper
#

sigh'

ashen spindle
#

100% utilization in a game or 3d app will draw less power than an actual stress test because utilization does not accurately reflect what the name suggests

rich juniper
#

so why do you post these graphs are you going to stress it out as much as they did or your just trying to become an amd fan boy

astral haven
#

What

ashen spindle
#

huh

astral haven
#

This graph shows amd lying more than Intel lmao

ashen spindle
#

that graph is not about amd being better lol

tight forge
#

uh how are those power limits set? is there a point to that graph?

astral haven
#

They are the manufacturer power limits

#

Intel allows you to set them in bios and in xtu
Amd allows you to set them in bios and Ryzen master

tight forge
#

can you not just strictly set a power limit through the bios if you really cared about package power?

ashen spindle
#

the point is they dont fully adhere to the limits you set

tight forge
#

but

#

that's TDP that you're setting no?

#

not PPT

#

Or PL1/PL2 for intel

ashen spindle

no you set a power limit, ryzen master shows ppt and you adjsut that

I can use auto desk stuff because they actually make it really easy to get it for free if you are a student

Even if you aren’t a uni student

Keep in mind fusion is so bad because it is for hobbyists too

shadow minnow
#

KiCad is great too, Altium may be a bit better but again crazy pricing and no way to get it if you’re not in uni for free

#

KiCad is amazing for a free piece of software, as is blender

#

Wish we had more stuff like that in this space

I just wish software used static price model

#

For the years edition

Even if it is $300

Office does it best

$100 for office suite of the year

And free for students and teachers model to get them hooked on office

Like I have affinity photo but something about Photoshop just feels natural

i really wish i had a 3d printer. I want to grab one of those retina ipad screens or a laptop panel and turn it into a small screen for my desk since they're cheaper and higher res than getting one of those little portable monitors. however i'd need to make a case for the damned thing.

It's kinda crazy how far laptops have come

#

Price for performance wise anyway

#

Like this 3050 is actually pretty neat

ashen spindle
#

oh god laptop 3050

#

probably more like a 1650 then xD

pale sigil
#

Still pretty nice performance

#

Lol

#

In such a small compact form factor

#

Was doing incredibly well running at 1440p, I was kinda impressed when playing Fortnite and D2 haha

#

Not to long ago it would cost an absolute fortune for something like that

ashen spindle
#

idk normal progress, its 45w card that was 75w 4 years ago

pale sigil
#

Well tbf I saw 3060/3070ti also being pretty reasonable prices too

#

But I opted into slim/metal design Vs cheaper laptops designs.

ashen spindle
#

and a 3060 mobile is at best a 2060 lmao

pale sigil
#

Still pretty decent prices though is my point

#

If we look back at 9/10 series GPUs

ashen spindle
#

sure but it's normal progression or even a bit pricier than it would've been if we continued the trend from when we had the 9/10 series

pale sigil
#

Performance bumps and prices are much better

#

And form factor but w.e I guess XD

#

I feel like you get more for your money now than not to long ago is my point.

#

Without to many compromises.

ashen spindle
#

well yes that is always the case, it just feels like you get more now because the playable threshold doesnt move up as much as the performance so that catches up relatively

#

but looking at raw performance you get less for your money than you should

pale sigil
#

Fair

#

Tbf in my case I wanted premium with a little bit of GPU on the side.

#

There was a 3070ti with similar price but the actual build quality was a bit meh, If we compare that to say 970m laptops in the past I'm sure we are still getting more.

#

For our money?

reef patrol
#

It's ridiculous how GPU prices have risen. I bought a 1660TI based laptop when those were hot, and now the same money won't even get me a 1650 based one, let alone something 3000 series

We made two major changes to help this scenario:

We reduced or removed lock acquisitions from some APIs frequently called in this code path, allowing simultaneous recipients to make better forward progress without getting in each other's way.

We capped the rate at which background recipients of raw mouse input could receive messages, so e.g. instead of seeing 1000 messages per second for a 1000Hz mouse, it may only see 125 (but each containing the combined payload of the coalesced messages).

just found out the USB port I connected my controller's dongle to is always powered even when the computer is shut down, so the dongle spends pretty much 24/7 trying to connect to the controller....

I need to try to figure out how to turn off the USB power when the computer is off

That's in your BIOS.

There's usually a very aptly named "USB power when powered off" settings.

What motherboard did you have again?

wheat plume

Asus Prime

ashen spindle

or you unplug the pc or turn the psu switch off

wheat plume

I only fully power it off about once a week

ashen spindle

is there a reason for it

wheat plume
#

Yeah, I leave it fully powered off for about 3 days every now and then, cause I dont want that random shutting off to happen again that happened over christmas :/

ashen spindle
#

no I mean why not fully power it off when you turn it off

wheat plume
#

cause my power plug is hard AF to reach

reef patrol
# wheat plume I cant find

It should be called something like eRP or something similar. Usually hidden in the system or misc. settings. Depends on brand and specific model.

Feel free to hop into BIOS and take photos, and we can dig for it sometime.

Anyone know if there's any third party service that can connect to Plex and suggest stuff/keep track?

#

Similar to how netflix is.

astral haven
#

That's pretty sweet

pale sigil
#

My biggest gripe of Plex is I have everything in the world to watch but I'm so used to the netflix algorithm showing me the way XD

pale sigil
#

Plex doesn't really keep track in the same sense and you can't get any real data unless you pay.

reef patrol
#

So you're just being cheap. dogekek

pale sigil
#

I meant gather data and use it to recommend shows

#

And show new releases I might be interested in

#

I'm not being cheap really

#

I just don't host my own server, or well I do but there's not much on it l.

#

So I can't access my data backend anyway

#

It's kind of why I've always liked netflix, it just knows me which is fucked up but damn it works

#

I only really use netflix for originals these days (I don't need to but my sister pays) and offline downloads when needed.

#

I know Plex supports offline but the owner hasn't enabled it for obvious reasons.

#

I'll ask if they can export my data for me and see if there is anything out there I can import Plex and netflix data

#

I used this one but I remember it being very manual

#

Haha ye

#

Ok so apparently it can hook into Plex

Via Plex pass

Photoshop works with the MS addon

You can just open in gimp and save as tiff

It's the only one that works

The issue is the patent is free for non commerical use

The Lenovo saga continues. New department (complaints) took over my case.
