why is there no option in Windows Terminal to run a command when the terminal opens?
ashen spindle
wait you want terminal to auto execute something when you open terminal with no extra commands?
wheat plume
oo can change colors
ashen spindle
yes you can even write custom shaders to run in your terminal
wheat plume
split pane.....very useful
ashen spindle
once again I wonder why I even try
wheat plume
wait you want terminal to auto execute something when you open terminal with no ...
yeah
you know how in Linux if you add a command to .bashrc it will run that command every time the terminal opens?
I want to do that in Windows Terminal
ashen spindle
you can do that....
tight forge
@wheat plume notepad $profile in your powershell
wheat plume
wtf
tight forge
oh wait you're using command prompt ew
ashen spindle
you just edit the target in the shortcut that calls the cmd.exe and add the command there
crimson wigeon
Or, use profiles as was suggested already
wheat plume
Terminal does
tight forge
not that kind of profile
a powershell profile is a .ps1 file that gets run when powershell is opened
you can change the execution parameters in your windows terminal cmd profile to execute a .bat file when you open it though
ashen spindle
either way there are multiple ways, for cmd/ps/terminal I just personally dont use it because I dont see the reason why
would always want to keep the basic call of that clean and if I need something that I use often make a seperate file for it that I use instead
tight forge
for me it's for oh my posh
Gotta have the themes
Also aliases, if you need them, I have a couple for convenience
ashen spindle
write your own custom shader for terminal and problem solved ez
wheat plume
I added an AutoRun DWORD into registry and it works... xd
ashen spindle
but even for themes I think I would prefer to use a shortcut with it instead to keep the option open to have stock available if needed
wheat plume
ashen spindle
should it not work?
wheat plume
time to use the command I actually want instead
idk, this was the easiest solution I found sooo I did it
pale sigil
It's had if for a good while
Just at first it wasn't in stable then it was opt in and now default
wheat plume
The Terminal app itself is really nice, its stilll CMD or Powershell you interact with though
tight forge
tabs are W
wheat plume
yes
pale sigil
I just wish start e would open new tabs of explorer was open
And similar with terminal
tight forge
dont think the explorer ones are too useful but terminal ones are nice for background sessions
definitely not necessary though
pale sigil
explorer ones sre extremely useful
tight forge
there's also a 'quake mode' which is nice, terminal pops up from the top
true, but if I need to have an ssh session open to occasionally do something, just aesthetic to not have another window open :^)

microled is lcd at the moment
fickle ore
@ashen spindle ive decided I will splurge whjen samsung puts out a 240hz version of that monitor
Coping until then
tropic nacelle
microled is lcd at the moment
Aren't you thinking of miniLED? Actual microLED is emissive and has no need for liquid crystal aspect. It's why it's LCD Vs OLED Vs microLED.
I have only seen a microLED display in the UK at a fab and it definitely isn't LCD but this isn't consumer level.
I can only think of Samsung that currently sells a "consumer" level at like 100k and that's not LCD to my knowledge
astral haven
the samsung odyssey neos are microled behind lcd
as is the ipad pro and macbook pro
mini vs micro is just a size difference unfortunately
and the only retail microled without an lcd layer is the samsung wall
tropic nacelle
It's really not, that's a very reductive statement.
microLED is emissive, it has no need for the tft layer or crystal.
The neo is miniLED, not micro LED
Each pixel in a microLED is emissive like OLED or QD-OLED, it's much closer to that than LCD.
It's comparable in that it's a display but it's not LCD.
astral haven
samsung makes led, microled, and miniled emissive panels
samsung also makes led, microled, and miniled backlit lcds
the emissive panels are atm commercial install only
tropic nacelle
It says miniLED. There is no "cheap" microLED monitors nor TVs at this point in time.
The neos are 100% not microLED. miniLED is what you are thinking of
astral haven
alright thats my bad i guess its only apple with microled at the moment
tropic nacelle
You are thinking of the Apple watch as that was recently rumoured that apple are using a microLED display for it next year or something.
They currently only use miniLED displays but they have relatively high zone counts (better than most miniLED displays)
vagrant pagoda
Apple has no microled
Apple wants LG to make them micro led
And for now it's only for the watch
astral haven
You are thinking of the Apple watch as that was recently rumoured that apple are...
apple uses microleds for their liquid retina xdr display on the ipad pro 12.9
yes its dumb that theres no distinction between the emissive and the backlit
but thats how it is
tropic nacelle
iPad pro has 2000 LEDs behind it which is good for miniLED.
if it was microLED it would be each pixel, it will be interesting to see how they price their watch with it as microLED is expensive and hard to make cheap.
The place I know personally has been working on making "cheap" microLED displays for a decade now with sapphire substrate LEDs.
It's been delayed many times but meta bought them out in the end and is looking to be done this year as a first gen last I'm told.
astral haven
iPad pro has 2000 LEDs behind it which is good for miniLED.
if it was microLED ...
you are confusing how the definitions should be with how they are in reality
tropic nacelle
apple uses microleds for their ***liquid*** retina xdr display on the ipad pro 1...
It's not
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212527
It even says here it's an LCD with mini led. You are just mixing up the names, happens to the best of us!
astral haven
liquid = lcd
vagrant pagoda
Micro led is the actual pixels
tropic nacelle
They added liquid to the name to differentiate between their retina OLED and their IPS/LCD displays.
vagrant pagoda
A microled apple watch would be over a million LEDs in a 2 inch screen
astral haven
Micro led is the actual pixels
thats the technical definition, but its not how its used unfortunately
tropic nacelle
It's why micoLED is potentially the next best thing especially compared to OLED.
Significantly higher brightness with little to no degradation compared to OLED equivalent.
vagrant pagoda
Display XDR is 576 in 32 inches
vagrant pagoda
thats the technical definition, but its not how its used unfortunately

Apple calls the XDR backlight 2d miniled

well samsung for one
ashen spindle
https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/02/06/native-union-belt-cable-duo-an-impossible-lightning-and-usb-c-cable this looks cursed
astral haven
samsung display that is
astral haven
samsung distinguishes between emissive and lcd by calling their emissive displays "direct view"
they have direct view led, miniled, and microled
vagrant pagoda
Again
Show me them saying a non direct view microled is microled
Because they make actual microled TV's and call them microled
And they make miniled lcd and call them miniled
chrome estuary
and now i have a headache
astral haven
and they make "direct view miniled" screens without an lcd
vagrant pagoda
Yeah those are the giant video walls
astral haven
tho if apple has swapped their nomenclature, and it seems samsung actually is no longer producing the direct view minileds, that would mean we can actually swap over to the new definition
vagrant pagoda
Well I don't think they ever sold those
But they had them at ces once
But they aren't missing any of the terms
LG and Samsung both sell actual microled as microled
astral haven
vagrant pagoda
No one sells miniled as microled
Sony calls it something else
They don't market it as micro led
Yeah it's "Crystal LED"
astral haven
tropic nacelle
Samsung's direct view is a fine pixel LED display, it has 0.83mm pitch, which is a traditional led
vagrant pagoda
Again you are proving my point, not yours.
astral haven
hey I want companies to switch over to the technical definition as much as you do
tropic nacelle
I mean you are saying they are using it when they aren't and you are also saying it is microLED when it isn't.
vagrant pagoda
I mean you are saying they are using it when they aren't and you are also saying...
Samsung makes led, miniled and microled displays
tropic nacelle
There are debates at how small each package needs to be to be classed as microLED but it's definitely not the debate between miniLED and microLED.
vagrant pagoda
Samsung made the "Wall"
vagrant pagoda
Which was direct view miniled

tropic nacelle

Depends, technically or right now?
astral haven
but that would be a terrible idea since the whole point of a microled is it isnt packaged
astral haven
right now if you put a microled on the keyboard, it would go up in smoke the second you exposed it to air
the whole point of microled is that you dont need to protect each led
tropic nacelle
Why would it go up in smoke? You can't really buy individual microLEDS , I know a place making them but only for meta and still development.
Each one is "packaged" so it's not going to expire and could be connected.
One led on its own is not going to be extremely bright as it's the size of a pixel haha. You would need several for a single key really
astral haven
Why would it go up in smoke? You can't really buy individual microLEDS , I know ...
if it includes the package, thats a miniled
microleds are packaged as a group
tropic nacelle
if it includes the package, thats a miniled
packaged microLED is a legitimate thing
tropic nacelle
As it is easier in production to connect together allowing essentially fully custom sizes.
I can only say what I remember last time I visited the fab which was 7 years ago now, back then Samsung and LG were looking to buy it as it was "commendable" technology in this way
It essentially becomes the argument of monolithic Vs chiplets in a similar fashion again. It's possible and no doubt I assume Samsung do it as monolithic but this place doesn't do it that way.

if you are sure
vagrant pagoda
Lol
I have it running
Right now
Put the driver on a floppy and XP installed to it
The management software only works on XP 64 though
XP 32 had no issues installing and booting
And it has a bios config
astral haven
i went with the iodrives which are about 10x faster but arent bootable because my impression was you couldnt boot from any of the pre nvme pcies
vagrant pagoda
Pre nvme that are pure ssd
These are just sas raid
You can buy the adapter and run normal SAS drives
It's just a neat solution because the driver are tiny
But in the config you can actually see all 4 128GB drives
And the controller has 512mb of cache
But the header for battery is missing
Idk if if I solder in a lion if it will allow wrote cache
astral haven
yea i never really looked into them bc i never needed to boot from em, i just wanted the fastest cheap storage
and i wanted mlc
vagrant pagoda
They have SLC and mlc
The 400gb are like 20-40
And 800gb is 60-80
And tests right at 2gb read, 1.2gb write in xp64
astral haven
yea i got 3x2.4tb for under 200 each
astral haven
and they have no cache too so they can be configured to be atomic even without plp
ashen spindle
actually insane how many places went with that story as if they would actually just admit to illegal market things on a call lmfao
thick elk
Have not looked into it much, but the stories I did read definitely made it seem like something else was going on.
Just a sign of the time I guess, news outlets assuming the other one did their homework.
ashen spindle
tldr, they say people bought less so they shipped less bc stores ordered less
people took that as price fixing by limiting supply bc finance terms hard for youtuber
thick elk
Even though the concept is really simple.

thick elk
Still the major problem is it takes just one ignorant outlet for the rest to copy / paste.

A tech journalist does not necessarily need to know these concepts. He should however know to ask.

yes, should ring a bell that they surely wouldnt just admit to something likely illegal and maybe spend 5 seconds on google

My old Sennheiser's are slowly failing, and I guess it's time to replace them, and considering how often audiophilia is discussed in here, I figured I could get some opinions.
- Must have mic (that can hold up to standard Zoom style meetings, doesn't have to be streamer grade)
- Must be actual headphones covering ears (doesn't matter if closed or not)
- Decent battery life
- USB C
- Wireless (Bluetooth, because phone)

Actually lower impedance is harder to drive for most devices
If something is 100db/v and 100 or 600 ohms, it's easy to drive
If it's 10 or 5 ohms, you need a serious amplifier to run it
The good dongles can run anything to 100db if they are 100db/v sensitivity and higher than 24 ohms

fundamentally a higher impedance is going to be harder to drive, that's just how electricity works, regardless of sensitivity. You need a much lower voltage in order to drive the same amount of power through a lower impedance load. While there may be exceptions with some very low or very high senstivity loads, in general that's just how it works
you're not going to get a very nice volume out of high impedance studio headphones using a dongle unfortunately, otherwise what's the point of having an amp
sure you could get a loud volume but you're not really powering them properly

I mean tinkering is cool and all, but being forced to swap a bracket to get advertised performance is kinda ass, especially when replacing the bracket breaks warranty

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-comments-on-alder-lakes-warping-and-bending-issues-mods-void-warranty
I mean proving that you modified the Motherboard would be pretty hard if you just put the old retention bracket back in when claiming warranty, but still. Feels like a dick move to me
empty wren
Yeah would be nice if people were honest especially for something expensive
mild dome
Thing is with highly competitive products: If you are honest in your advertising, then you will lose out to the people that straight lie to your face.
Example: A lot of monitors advertise 1ms response times
Reality: Almost all of those monitors achieve at best 10ms, but have an overvolt option that makes the crystal overshoot causing horrifyingly bad reverse ghosting that looks even worse then a slower response time.
Only way to fix the situation would be to have a governing body that has to stop in and keep tech companies honest about every single benchmark.
empty wren
Sorry I meant that when the end buyer was honest if they broke something serious
empty wren
Thing is with highly competitive products: If you are honest in your advertising...
And about what you said, aint LTT Media Group and Gamers Nexus sorta gonna do that
Like they will not be a government body but given a lot of people trust them, they do have a voice.
mild dome
A lot of people do not look up reviews and benchmarks beyond advertising.
The buyer is justified in modifying hardware if the manufacturer ships it in a crippled state. Especially if it's a simple modification
Like what I mean by governing body is someone who slaps companies with fines for getting weasely with their benchmarks.

damn guys i need opinion ! 1080p 240hz or 1440p 165hz. i play a little bit of everything i used to be a Csgo,valorant,r6 player but now im playing like tarkov,rust etc
i really don't know if its really worth to switch to 1440p 165hz ( i think 1440p 240hz are a little bit expensive )
i have the alienware 240hz 24"
the thing is, is it a big difference from 240hz to 165hz or i will missed my smooth 240hz

You will notice, and it's purely up to you whether you care about the competitive nature or the visual quality
However, you can get 240hz 1440p monitors

thats the thing sometimes i play competitive game and sometimes play like tarkov,rust,battle royal game
so yeah the best would be a 1440p 240hz
tight forge
If you have the funds and the system specs to run it, that would be the best of both worlds
tight forge
Sounds fine, you'll definitely hit 240 in competitive titles, and you can use gsync in the more fps demanding games to keep it looking smooth
silent grail
M27Q-X is this monitor really good ?
tight forge
It is a good value monitor, it doesn't have a single overdrive mode experience, but it's very good value
Would recommend looking those monitors up on rtings and hardware unboxed for reviews
I think HUB doesn't have a review for the XG27AQM, but they do have one for the PG279QM, which are very similar monitors from asus
silent grail
i just watch a video from hardware unboxed for the m27q-x
tight forge
yeah the proart displays are always amazing
silent grail
actually this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo8B9ksWRa4
i will most likely sell my 240hz 1080p and get this one
plus there is a 17% save on newegg for this monitor
tight forge
yeah it's pretty popular
Amazon has it for the same price if you have prime
and not on backorder
silent grail
i see on the review that there is alot of dead pixel
i mean sometime i guess ahah could be a really unlucky batch

"clean coal" is stupid
I know it is
but at least capturing emissions so you aren't causing more damage than extraction and transport already do is dope

but it's less damaging
astral haven
its actually not
crisp granite
that's the point
they went from something to NOTHING
ashen spindle
no you misunderstood me
crisp granite
wouldn't be the first time
astral haven
the problem is that the greenhouse gases are still being produced and flowing around the globe heating it up, the more you produce the more heat regardless of the eventual net energy
it also doesnt solve the dumping carcinogens into the atmosphere problem
or the particulate matter
ashen spindle
you need to use energy to capture the carbon and depending how and where, that is a net loss compared to not capturing it sometimes
astral haven
^
thats another problem
long story short is we need to build pumped hydro wherever we have space for it, and other battery types wherever there isnt enough space, and renewables to fill that storage
ashen spindle
so while the idea makes sense, the capturing itself is not doing much, potentially nothing in the end sum so the money and time would've better been put into something else
astral haven
if all of the us's subsidies for oil and coal were swapped to subsidies for renewables and storage, 2-2.5x as many people would be employed (assuming similar pay) and we would save billions in medical bills for only directly attributed issues, completely ignoring secondary effects

Theoretically recording the key fob could unlock the car in some cases

Yes but even if the efficiency is crap, but is say produced via e.g hydro/wind/solar/fission/fusion, the net "energy loss" is offset via capturing the carbon, because spending those few U235 atoms is better than having them carbons loose.

the idea behind capturing it is obviously good, the numbers they show are also good and not faked, they just lack context, somewhat similar to when you see fusion reactors show they are so close to being net positive, when they ignore the energy used to sustain the magnets and co
astral haven
the next question also is which type of carbon capture
fickle ore
Just make all your boreal forests into swamps. Dat good.
astral haven
swamps have significant emissions
astral haven
yes but then they dont absorb
the problem is thats not what people use for "carbon capture"

the two methods that people consider carbon capture are

It's waste in the sense that it's a dead tech, but if we must be using carbon, it's better to waste dollar than not. We can always print more =p

the only valid way is to actually plant trees, but the roi on a tree is something like 50 years

that is ignoring what you could do with all the money used to fund more solar/wind elsewhere or research into better methods
fickle ore
yes but then they dont absorb
What you on about, swamps capture carbon X_x

how about instead of removing 1 unit of co2, how about you prevent 1/3 of a unit of co2 be generated by swapping the generation for something renewable
and then you get that benefit every year in perpetuity

Phytoplankton has been dying in the masses. That's as big of an impact as trees. We need more Phytoplanktons to capture carbon in the oceans. But we have killed most of them. :;(/

not if they are dry
and if they are wet, they also release carbon at a rather similar rate to their input

tf swamps arent dry
astral haven
If they're dried 😛
i agree but you dont
fickle ore
i agree but you dont
drying means atleast here when we use the peat, we dig uh.. streams so they dry out
It's stupid, thank god we arent doing it anymore

I'm really interested in inkjet printed perovskite solar panels. Using rocks for PV panels :MMh
astral haven
in terms of long term net carbon, even blimp based wind power is more effective than carbon capture

the issue I see with carbon capture is that it takes away funds from other research because there is no way they have that money all in addition instead from the same pot, so it delays but we dont need more stalling we need the solutions done faster
astral haven
and it also has no net benefit

I don't see the connection, I agree on principle that all money circulates in the economy.. but how is X industrial company that is corporated, going to explain to their board they will use Y expenses to research random energy production method, instead of paying a fat dividend? They may be able justify building carbon capture for their plant, so they'll pay less "environment taxes" and have better PR among public.

they could instead invest that money into energy storage for their facilities for example and load shift to save both them money and allow for more renewables

Well to be fair, that's what a finnish PULP company called UPM oyj done. They among few others have paid so far 12 $ BILLION to build a nuclear plant and it's been under construction for the better part of 15 years and still not ready

Actually green hydrogen is happening rn in Finland for steel production. They are making gazillion of windmills in the ocean and they'll use "free" energy which they plan to convert into hydrogen for storage.
Billions rn invested
astral haven
not talking about that scale
im talking factory/ datacenter scale
or office building
fickle ore
Ah
astral haven
where you can generally in the us spend about 10k to save about 10k in 1 year using time of use shifted power as long as you have enough power usage
and spending a couple mil would roi in just a few years
fickle ore
Well then I would agree, it's stupid to spend 2+ digit millions to build carbon capture for office spaces 😄
I didn't know someone would do something like that
astral haven
like carbon capture is good in theory, but in practice its just several orders of magnitude less efficient than just spending money to get rid of the fossil fuels to begin with
nuclear is by far the least effective non fossil fuel btw
nuclear requires tons of fossil fuels to run
its just hidden due to supply chain
relatively?
no
also just like car oil, it can get filtered and recycled
yes but how many 5 gallon buckets of gas do you think it takes to run a nuclear power plant daily

@astral haven My district heating company that pumps warm water thru the pipes to all homes in my area for house heating purposes, burns the municipal waste and captures the carbon, which they use to produce power-to-gas methane. It's called CCU (carbon capture and utilization), which is kinda cool. I'd say that kind of usecase is the perfect example of what is good and works. And money well spent.
astral haven
and that gas gets burnt and turned into a greenhouse gas not ground with metal shavings and whatever

show me a 3rd party study confirming they are net negative
heck even second party
as long as its not first party
fickle ore
show me a 3rd party study confirming they are net negative
net negative in dollars or carbons?

in carbons
