[old marlin]

?

koss beats them out sound wise

[wheat plume]

They also have a few choices in modelsfor them, based on Ohms

[old marlin]

and don't BOHOO SAMSUNG me

[mossy plinth]

Like sure it's replaceable parts but the DT770s price point is cheap

[old marlin]

they all sound essentially the same

[mossy plinth]

Like even with the problems, I can get a modded one for cheaper than above

[old marlin]

just at different volumes

[old marlin]

yea but it will still have the treble spike

I'd much rather have AKG K371s, or even HD598s

[mossy plinth]

Which Koss do you mean? The Pro4s?

[old marlin]

ksc75 lol

not good for studio enviroments

[solemn remnant]

k371s so uglyl

[old marlin]

they aren't durable

[old marlin]

but sounds good

[solemn remnant]

what does it matter

[old marlin]

?

what does it matter that they are ugly

[solemn remnant]

buy stuff for looks obviously

[old marlin]

afraid that somebody will walk in on you listening to something in your room

[wheat plume]

.....

SecuRiTy iS My PassIoN

Microsoft Azure for US Government
HAH... Does MS collect as much data on them as they do for regular consumers?

[ashen spindle]

its mostly just contractors and people who applied for clearance, not actual confidential data, those are not stored in any cloud

[wheat plume]

Yeah, and found by a white hat too

so that was good

[solemn remnant]

why even by studio headphones if you're not making music

[mossy plinth]

Why a wooting keyboard if you're not playing esports professionally

jk, it's a case of having something of high quality so you can hear it as a close to "as intended" in my opinion.

[solemn remnant]

that's a different thing tbh

I just bass boost everything when not mixing

[old marlin]

because you want good sounding headphones?

[mossy plinth]

People have different preferences and needs.

I like hearing stuff as close to as intended affordably and those studio headphones work for me.
Why not go for studio headphones?

[old marlin]

I for example am not a big fan of the "as intended" stuff

[mossy plinth]

Especially if they are the same price point as alternatives out there

[solemn remnant]

it's all subjective, I don't find neutral "good"

[mossy plinth]

I like going for "as intended" because then I can deviate stuff with an EQ if I wanted to. Rather than headphones that are already deviated from neutrality.

[old marlin]

I wouldn't say dt770s are neutral

[solemn remnant]

I don't have them so wouldn't know

[old marlin]

the treble ruins them imo

[solemn remnant]

for listening I just use speakers and an amp from the early 80's

[old marlin]

I mean

you can have decent headphones from the 80s

buuut

everything but very high end stuff is kinda bad

from that era

[mossy plinth]

Their treble accuracy isn't the best but finding something all round as accurate at the same price point isn't easy afaik

[solemn remnant]

top of the line stuff right here

[old marlin]

I meant for headphones

Speakers were already quite good back then

In general

[vagrant pagoda]

If you want peak 80s aesthetic high end audio, you want Sony apms

[solemn remnant]

I've fucked my eardrums by playing with a loud drummer so I don't care that much anymore

[solemn remnant]

whoa

[vagrant pagoda]

Those are the 181

I'd love a pair

[solemn remnant]

they look scifi

[vagrant pagoda]

But I only have the 20s

I should get them out

[solemn remnant]

those would look so good in a speakeasy

[vagrant pagoda]

They made a black set in the late 80s

And they would be minty for a dos machine with a Roland midi swtup

[reef patrol]

I am cautiously optimistic... I think my... 5th monitor might actually have no dead pixels on arrival

https://tenor.com/view/capitol-prideandprejudice-applause-sirlucas-bbc-gif-4848373

[mossy plinth]

Mansen out here with the 5 monitor setup

[reef patrol]

Sadly I only have the one 😄

[tame hedge]

@reef patrol please tell me you have a GPU with 5 slots :pleadingk:

oh

[reef patrol]

Just went through a... lengthy warranty and return process.

[tame hedge]

What model?

[mossy plinth]

even then you don't need 5 slots for 5 monitors

I'd say get more than one but more monitors is a slippery slope

[tame hedge]

assuming no TB, can you actually convert 1 normal DP to 2 distinct monitors?

[mossy plinth]

TB?

[tame hedge]

thunderbolt

[reef patrol]

First monitor was a G34W-10 from Lenovo. It has a temper and won't always do 144hz without applying a compressed signal, causing really smeared out reds and blues.

Lenovo has attempted to swap this twice under their warranty - Both replacement monitors had a significant amount of dead pixels (mine was pristine for comparison)

Returned for a refund.

Bought an AOC monitor to replace it - Which had a dead pixel in a really inconvenient spot, so I've returned that as well.

Bought the same monitor AGAIN (Because aside from the dead pixel I actually really like it) and that's what I'm using right now.

So at one point I basically had three, 43" ultrawide monitor boxes stacked in my tiny office.

[old marlin]

wtf

[mossy plinth]

I'm not hundred percent sure tbh. I know Displayport has some weird funky features and not all GPUs have the same display port versions across all outputs

My GPU is really funky because it can only run one 4k monitor at 144hz and the other only at 120hz

[tame hedge]

I think that's kinda normal tbf

[mossy plinth]

and the third has to sadly be 60hz at 4k iirc

[tame hedge]

dunno why but I've seen mixed DP versions a fair bit

[reef patrol]

Main is 144hz the rest are HDMI?

[tame hedge]

I think my GPU has 3 DP and 1 HDMI
I'm using all barring 1 DP

[mossy plinth]

The others are DP but the GPU itself couldn't really do DP at the highest standard to allow for 4k 144hz.
I think it might not even be a DP problem but a GPU problem

Because It's so much data being sent out

[fair gull]

yes DP allows chaining

[mossy plinth]

At the end of the day I didn't mind not getting the full 144hz on the other monitors as it's only the main one I game on

the others is just a bonus

[wheat plume]

if you reduce the others to 60Hz, then it may work out?

reduce output on the others and apply full speed on main

[tame hedge]

due to this I think their setup is 4K144, 4K120, and 4K60

[mossy plinth]

Yeah essentially

[tame hedge]

All the same model? how much did you spend lol

[mossy plinth]

I went from a RTX2080 to a RTX3090 and it didn't change anything either so I went back to the 2080

[fair gull]

@tame hedge yes MST

1 cable carries multiple display signals

[ashen spindle]

yes if you use DSC then nvidia cards limit your output because their display engine sucks, you cant use all ports at max speeds

so even on a 4090 you cant fully use the bandwith of all ports lol

[mossy plinth]

2 x 144HZ models and 1x60HZ model
£160 for 4k/60hz
£220~ea for 4k/144hz

[tame hedge]

oh cool
so with one of these one could conceivably easily have 10 monitors on a standard desktop GPU?

[mossy plinth]

I use a USB HDMI card for a Cintiq which works nicely too

[fair gull]

dont need that

[ashen spindle]

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5338/~/using-high-resolution%2Frefresh-rate-displays-with-vesa-display-stream

When a display is connected to the GPU and is set to DSC mode, the GPU may use two internal heads to drive the display when the pixel rate needed to drive the display mode exceeds the GPU’s single head limit. This may affect your display topology when using multiple monitors. For example if two displays with support for DSC are connected to a single GeForce GPU, all 4 internal heads will be utilized and you will not be able to use a third monitor with the GPU at the same time.

[fair gull]

there monitors you can buy which support daisy chaining

so no need for an MST splitter

[tame hedge]

I mean yes the picture shows it being a fancy monitor that has an integrated duplicator but my question was regarding both the quantity and standardization

[fair gull]

ever since DP 1.2 its in the DP standard

unsure bout resolutions

[tame hedge]

I'm used to HDMI and USB :)

"standard? what's that - it's all a suggestion"

How would it work if you use one of those DP->HDMI connectors on a daisy chain?

[fair gull]

DP purely goes by datarate

so youd have to lookup what you wanna use

what DP version you have

and then you can see what you can attach

up to 60monitors or so

[tame hedge]

fair

oh god

🧐 i know my next investment'

[fair gull]

the same as DP carriers those natively

[tame hedge]

where we're going, we don't need wallpaper or lights!

[fair gull]

you can even use a DP to VGA id assume

[fair gull]

dont need daisy chaining for that though

[shadow minnow]

How about DP to mipi

[fair gull]

just use the 10K output capability of DP

one big screen with a 10k res should be able to cover smallish rooms

[tame hedge]

Depends how fine you are with bezels :)

getting 40 monitors from a junkyard would be cheaper than getting a fancy 150" TV

[shadow minnow]

Well yes

Some junkyards give them out for free so

[tame hedge]

exactly

[shadow minnow]

Just may not have dp

[fair gull]

so with DP2.X you could run 3 4k 120hz monitors of 1 connector

[tame hedge]

They said it'd work with a DP->HDMI connector

[fair gull]

it has roughly 77gbit/s and 4k120hz is 25gbit/s

[tame hedge]

jesus

[fair gull]

for maximum usage youd use 1080p at 60fps

[tame hedge]

yes because HDR bad tbh

[fair gull]

3.2gbit/s needed

you got lots more

[shadow minnow]

Issue is

DP 2.X on GPUs rn is the lower spec

That’s slower than HDMI 2.1

40gbps

[tame hedge]

40gbps* with an asterisk

(sometimes 18Gbps because HDMI is amazing)

[fair gull]

no?

[shadow minnow]

Literally yes

Check it

[tame hedge]

wdym lower spec

[shadow minnow]

10gbps per lane

Instead of 20

[fair gull]

DP 2.0 and 2.1 have 77gbit/s total data rate

while HDMI 2.1 is at 47 or so

[shadow minnow]

There are 3 different specs

If Dp2.0 / 2.1

I hate it

UBR 10, 14 and 20

Or UHBR

idk

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/kOcLJezN8e0

its only 30Hz wirelessly ;-;

[fair gull]

thats the cable specification

[wheat plume]

"Powers" in the title means uses the display... not charges it

[fair gull]

DP2.X itself is leagues faster than HDMI

will most gpus saturate it?

doubt it

[ashen spindle]

Bexin doesn’t like DSC so he probably uses the numbers without dsc again

[fair gull]

the data rate is before compression i think

display port such a slow port

can easily do 10k uncompressed

the 16k with DSC i didnt even know about

thats dope

[shadow minnow]

The GPUs

From what I can find they support 13.5

[halcyon moss]

be aware. MST is not supported on OSX (or macos). but windows on a mac does support MST.

[fair gull]

thats still a cable certification

[shadow minnow]

From amd site

[mossy plinth]

Whilst the ports can handle these high transfers, can the GPUs themselves 🤔

[fair gull]

thats the better question

[shadow minnow]

No, only UHBR 13.5 which is better than hdmi 2.1 so I was wrong too tbf

[fair gull]

id assume its a gpu limit

i cant imagine any GPU out there to push close to that amount of data

the 4090 is still 1.4 iirc

[shadow minnow]

I mean they can if you connect multiple connectors simulatenously

Read somewhere you can only use two DP 2.1 monitors at once

With the new and cards

[shadow minnow]

Yeah unfortunately

[fair gull]

so they cant push the bandwidth

[shadow minnow]

Hmm yeah

Not to all ports at once at least

[fair gull]

i imagine even on a single port

[ashen spindle]

nvidia still uses the old display engine so thats why its so limited in what they can do

[shadow minnow]

Well if they can do 54gbps on two ports, I think they could 80 on one

[fair gull]

the gbit/s depend on res and refresh rate

[shadow minnow]

Nvidia cards used to be limited to two hdmi 2.1s but most companies provide just one

[shadow minnow]

True, but that’s the max it supports

[fair gull]

as in verified or theoretical

did someone connect 2 beasts of a monitor and pump it to the limit

[shadow minnow]

I wonder

Not many if any dp2.1 displays out yet

[fair gull]

cause i doubt a gpu can push 50gbit/s of rendered images to a port

[shadow minnow]

Well it can 48

For just one

From what I tested

Didn’t test more too

That was hdmi 2.1 4k 144 hdr no compression

[fair gull]

i was thinking of switching to amd in general for the price of their gpus

nvidia is high or smth expecting people to pay those prices

[shadow minnow]

Yeah nvidia rn has oof pricing very oof

[fair gull]

didnt know they moved nvidia HQ to amsterdams best coffee shop

[ashen spindle]

I mean, convince wooting that you need a 4090 to do ML training to get better clicks on the website and problem solved

[fair gull]

lol

[mossy plinth]

I think this is one of the problems I have. I had to lower the standard on one of the 144hz monitors so it could do 120hz because the higher standard was too much for the GPU and it wouldn't work or something

[ashen spindle]

yup as I linked here if you have too many DSC monitors, it wont give you the max number of ports

since the display engine only has 4 ports and is the same since turing or pascal iirc

[mossy plinth]

It all worked out in the end though

Just took a bunch of debugging

[ashen spindle]

which you shouldn't need to do, the cards can do the power, just not the output

[mossy plinth]

any additional monitor just gets the USB GPU treatment now

[shadow minnow]

I think it’s 4 on amd too rn

[ashen spindle]

which is fine since there you have higher bandwidth per port

you dont have the issue there that 1.4+dsc uses 2 ports

[shadow minnow]

I think 2.1 does use two too

Or I saw that on google but didn’t check so may be wrong

[meager tinsel]

I was told by Anders that someone in here has found non magnetic springs with greater force than the stock springs for the 60HE - if that's you please feel free to pm me/give info

[vagrant pagoda]

90% sure on Nvidia they count mst am for the total count

But there is also no mst full 2.1 hubs

commodore 64 gaming ahah

[reef patrol]

Takes him over halfway through a 23min video to boot up anything. That's just sad.

[wheat plume]

LOAD "LOADER",8

yeah.. it do be like that

Ive skipped a lot

IF you want to experience old computers, there are FAR better ways to do so.

[wheat plume]

Yeah! I know this channel

oh gosh the damn sound when you turn on a CRT monitor

my ears feel strange for a sec

[reef patrol]

Spoing

[mossy plinth]

Did he hook up a modem to the C64?

[wheat plume]

idk xd

[mossy plinth]

I'll have to watch it after work

[reef patrol]

The thing on the right is a diskette drive.

[wheat plume]

Skip to 15 minutes for him to actually turn the thing on

ye

[mossy plinth]

I scored a boxed C64 modem at a carboot(flea market) a few years ago and I've been meaning to see if I can get it to communicated with the internet at all lmao

[wheat plume]

People have done it before xd

its odd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfahsGLtQwc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX3k6EZsZCM

[mossy plinth]

But I wonder if anybody has done it with the OG hardware

[wheat plume]

hmm not sure

[slate solar]

I was so excited that Logitech was gonna announce a mouse all for it to be a Star Wars Astro headset

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSuTyOMq1Bg

thoughts on this vs ASML?

[ashen spindle]

different things

that replaces some steps but cant replace EUV and asml is starting to make high-NA euv machines already

[wheat plume]

Man, this OS for the Commodore 64 haf file manager tabs before Windows did

https://youtu.be/MVeW2ZlV2WU

can have 4 tabs at once

oo, wifi plans in the future

[wheat plume]

this monitor is so nice looking.....what is it???

very even bezels

[astral haven]

its an lg
check the ultrafines?

[wheat plume]

LG and Ultrawide are all I know

[ashen spindle]

probably some 5k ips screen with horrible latency

[wheat plume]

and that its a few years old

[astral haven]

considering its ultrawide its probably 3440x1440 not 5k

[wheat plume]

oh, he has the link in the description

for literally everything he uses...gosh damn

LG 34UC80

[astral haven]

ay nice its ultra super out of stock gonezo

[wheat plume]

yep yep

its so clean looking, I like it

[ashen spindle]

is it even a good screen? doesnt even meantion refresh rate on the lg site

[astral haven]

no its pretty bad besides having a decent number of inputs

[ashen spindle]

thought so

[wheat plume]

Odd, not sure
but hes using it for video / photography so it must have pretty good colors and whatnot

[astral haven]

it really doesnt lel

[wheat plume]

o.o

hhm

[ashen spindle]

someone using it for that doesnt mean its good for it lol

[wheat plume]

true

[astral haven]

if you want a cheap monitor that actually has good colors and looks great ill get you a link

[wheat plume]

I miss my ultrawide

[astral haven]

miss me with that

[wheat plume]

it was really nice for some games and especially for coding and having a browser open on the side

[astral haven]

just get a larger higher res monitor for cheaper and use an app to split up the screen or something

https://youtu.be/MuGoZkd5fZc

its oos right now but i bought this bby

[wheat plume]

Im so tempted to get a fucking desk that isnt shit like this one
So I can actually use my monitor mount an get more desk space back

hmm, I got 2 1080s rn... I dont really need higher res tbh

[lofty pivot]

the jump to 1440p is so nice though

[astral haven]

its $270 and over 95% p3

and sub 2 de stock

[wheat plume]

I forgot the res of my ultrawide

welp

[astral haven]

i use it mostly as 4 monitors at the same time and its pretty nice
it is my secondary tho bc 60hz

[pale sigil]

@wheat plume i need nice kvantum themes

and a better taskbar

and better notifcations

[wheat plume]

Maybe check out Latte-Dock layouts

I found some really awesome ones

Latte can replace Plasma's panel if you want it to

or just be a dock

its really useful but annoying to configure

[pale sigil]

looks worse

tbh

[wheat plume]

if you find a premade layout you like, you can just apply it

this is all Latte

and text shadowing... why? I would turn that off

[pale sigil]

no like it

oh its a literal lfock

dock

:/

[crimson wigeon]

Moar shadows

[pale sigil]

i dont want a dock

[wheat plume]

How does this man always say Dynamic Island the same way every single time?

I dont get it

TIL, you cannot include apps that use the Accessibility API in MacOS on the App Store...

[pale sigil]

WHYT DOES LINUX MAKE SIMPLE SHIT HARF

HARD

[wheat plume]

?

what simple shit this time?

[pale sigil]

LET ME DRAG AND DROP A FOLDER OUT OF MY DAMN ARCHIVE TAR THING

[wheat plume]

it does allow that

[crimson wigeon]

Dunno, works for me with Ark + Dolphin

[wheat plume]

^

same

and Gnome Archiver + Nautilus

[crimson wigeon]

Oh that works now? Last time I tried it years ago it didn't heh

[wheat plume]

I forgot what Gnome calls it now

[wheat plume]

Yeah... Gnome has gotten a LOT better with DnD recently

In many aspects of the desktop and apps

[wheat plume]

Oh, use Ark

[crimson wigeon]

Oh that's file-roller

[wheat plume]

not the gnome app

LOL

Yeah

[crimson wigeon]

Don't know if there ever was a proper DND standard for this kind of stuff (there really should be...)

[wheat plume]

why you not got Ark for archives? @pale sigil

its made for Plasma

[pale sigil]

I do

I just use whatever it defaulted to

[wheat plume]

thats not Ark

thats a Gnome desktop app

[pale sigil]

Bitch it defaulted to it and idk why

Reeeeeeee

[wheat plume]

Did you have Gnome desktop and later install Plasma?

[pale sigil]

No

[wheat plume]

then wtf

what distro?

oh wait, you also installed another desktop

you tried Hyprland... so it must have installed that archive manager also

[crimson wigeon]

It shouldn't bring any of those things, unless it's some weird package

[wheat plume]

ArcoLinux Tweak Tool's desktop installer brings in a small set of apps with the desktop you pick

[pale sigil]

i swear im getting deja vu rn

also getting sick of these weird lines i showed you

[wheat plume]

Use Ark...

idk what to do about the lines though, screenshot me your compositor settings

[pale sigil]

im using amd for the desktop

[wheat plume]

show me the compositor settings xd

[pale sigil]

idk how

[wheat plume]

type compositor into menu

IDK why there is not many options here for me, there was more a bit ago... strange

[wheat plume]

Untick that box

and reboot

[pale sigil]

make me

[wheat plume]

It might fix the lines

:P

[crimson wigeon]

What lines

[wheat plume]

getting some graphical glitches on screen

[ashen spindle]

if its glitches and not tearing that setting shouldn't change anything

unless it does something else than it says I guess?

[wheat plume]

it could be caused by tearing

the lines look like tear lines but thicker idk

[crimson wigeon]

Far as I know literally nothing supports the protocol to request tearing yet, so that one doesn't do anything

[pale sigil]

me desktop looks ass

[wheat plume]

wat

[ashen spindle]

tearing doesnt cause other artifacts, either it tears the image into multiple and then you have the tear line or it doesnt

[pale sigil]

i got better notis at least

[wheat plume]

huh?

Plasma notifications are really good

especially compared to the trash ones from Gnome

oh boi

[astral haven]

that looks awful lmao

[crimson wigeon]

True

[wheat plume]

The notifications you get for downloading and long transfers are so much nicer

[astral haven]

the spacing around the text is nowhere near sufficient, the icons look like they came from different icon packs
the image doesnt have any border
the logo doesnt have symmetrical spacing around it

[wheat plume]

what you think of this one? xd

[astral haven]

its slightly better

[wheat plume]

here is the smaller version of it

[astral haven]

thats better
still fix text spacing

[wheat plume]

yeah, more padding maybe

Time to copy MacOS

[pale sigil]

Ayyup

Alienware AW3423DWF in stock

[reef patrol]

Jesus that price 😄

[gusty kiln]

no one made a cheaper clone yet?

[sharp badger]

Yes i've seen a few places that have them in stock but trying not to convince myself to buy one yet and just wait until the end of the year to see if there's other options with updated panels and such 😅

[wheat plume]

hehe

[gusty kiln]

just less features

maybe 100 off

[ashen spindle]

I mean thats what the DWF is, no gsync module

basically nothing extra

[sharp badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axjw00X1B6U

[gusty kiln]

basic stand, looser calibration out of the box

etc

[sharp badger]

the AW3423DW has some annoying fan sound according to some because of the G-sync module

[gusty kiln]

just minimum would prob be like 900 still

or 1000

[sharp badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0taT1pFLqkE This is a dealbreaker for some

[reef patrol]

A monitor with a fan. Oh boy 😄

[sharp badger]

the DWF don't have a Fan

[ashen spindle]

yes if your room is silent and you put your ear onto the screen like this guy with his camera

and idk about you but I sit in front of my monitor

[old marlin]

tbh it is absolutely fine

[ashen spindle]

not ear-adjacent to it

[old marlin]

had mine for a few months now

not a big problem

[sharp badger]

Yes but still some might have a problem with that

[old marlin]

as soon as you have any other audio you won't hear it

[reef patrol]

I sit very close to mine in a very quiet room with open headphones. And a custom watercooled PC that is deathly quiet even at full blast except in summer. I think I might be the 1% who'd notice 😄

[old marlin]

and a bit of whitenoise is better than complete silence tbh

[sharp badger]

And using headphones it's like listening to Case fans

[old marlin]

no

it's quieter than that

[reef patrol]

But - I just find it fascinating that we've reached a point where active cooling is needed.

[old marlin]

blame nvidia for that

lol

the gsync ultimate modules are giant ass fpgas

[ashen spindle]

yeah its cooling the fpga not the screen

[reef patrol]

Interesting - I'm being a pleb with "technically compatible" Freesync Premium 😄

[ashen spindle]

and they havent updated the modules in quite some time

[old marlin]

that is the reason why the F model does not have it

[old marlin]

well, they did with the ultimate version

[ashen spindle]

ehh not really

[old marlin]

it's a larger one now

[ashen spindle]

mostly still the same

[sharp badger]

So between the DW and the DWF should one go with the first or the second?

[gusty kiln]

second

[old marlin]

DWF

[ashen spindle]

since TAP went to intel they sorta abandoned it and havent done anything new

[old marlin]

what you gain with the DW is VERY marginal

and it is QUITE A BIT cheaper

[sharp badger]

Yes that's what i've kinda gathered about it

[old marlin]

eh

even then

[ashen spindle]

if you have an amd gpu, dwf no question asked, if you have an nvidia card might want to check if the prices are close for your region

[old marlin]

with the DW you are tied to nvidia cards for the next few years if you don't wanna sell your monitor and use adaptive sync

you get a whole 10hz more wowee

and uhh

rgb

[ashen spindle]

g sync is still better than free sync though

[old marlin]

and price gap is what

like 20%?

[sharp badger]

DW 1239€ vs DWF 1149€ so it's 90€ difference 🤷‍♂️

[old marlin]

yea nvm then

[gusty kiln]

but if you're shopping for this type of monitor, you def have a GPU that provides more than 75 fps in most situation

[old marlin]

well

do you wanna be tied to nvidia gpus

but have a bit better experience

or not

[sharp badger]

Personally just want to be flexible don't like locking down to these walled gardens

[old marlin]

get one of those corsair ones then

Does the MSI 342C use the same panel?

[ashen spindle]

https://www.techpowerup.com/305263/msi-announces-the-meg-342c-qd-oled-with-175-hz-refresh-rate Beginning of March apparently

[ashen spindle]

cant wait for it to be the exact same at same price just a year later lol

[sharp badger]

and a local store has it priced at 1529€ (Prices change once they get them) 🤑

[ashen spindle]

lmfao

[sharp badger]

and the Philips Evnia is priced at 1399€

So there's 2x Alienware , Samsung G8 , Philips Evnia , MSI 342C in the QD-OLED offerings

Ok the Spectrum one?

https://www.dough.tech/products/spectrum-qhd-280hz This one? ah nvm it's IPS

[gusty kiln]

shame that company has a bad track record

[sharp badger]

https://www.dough.tech/products/spectrum-oled-qhd-240hz-gaming-monitor-es07e2d

Yeah

[wheat plume]

Speaking of monitors
#🐸│memes

:')

[ashen spindle]

only replaces part of it and euv is still in their process plan and asml still cant keep up demand so I dont see them caring about it too much xD

[tropic nacelle]

Where did you see that? It's 48hz - 165hz freesync range, not 75hz.

I'm not seeing a benefit of gsync ultimate over my freesync monitors, ignoring the better HDR tone mapping that has been reported I can't see an actual improvement.

You get higher latency on gsync version and still VRR flicker, what is the gsync advantage for it? (Asking in general as I've yet to see it)

[fickle ore]

Yea I watched that on youytube or skipped rather. But they also had some news about high-NA EUV https://finance.yahoo.com/news/applied-materials-ebeam-metrology-system-123500340.html

[fickle ore]

But yeah the making current EUV just cheaper sounds nice, nothing spectacular though

Intel, Samsung seem to be the main benefiters

[rough osprey]

my 0,1% on max settings is higher then on lowest settings

interesting

[wheat plume]

how tf do I disable tooltips in Windows?

cant click the button when they appear over half of it

[gusty kiln]

why are you on windows, probably somewhere in accessibilities

[wheat plume]

some posts mention changing this value to something really high but idk hex LOL

[reef patrol]

Then use a gosh darn online converter.

[wheat plume]

oh, I can just change it to decimal

[misty saffron]

0 to FFFFFFFF

[reef patrol]

You use Linux, but you can't use a simple converter? 😄

[wheat plume]

never used hex in Linux xd

[misty saffron]

also, programmer mode in windows calculator

[reef patrol]

It's a question of a logical approach to troubleshooting and problem solving 😄

[misty saffron]

also why would you disable tooltips wtf

[wheat plume]

cause they fucking block half the damn button

and I dont end up clicking it most of the time

[misty saffron]

have fun guessing what something does next time

see, my gaming chair’s gui library renders tooltips above the controls…

[wheat plume]

it didnt work ;-;

[fervent shale]

where do u guys buy ur keycaps? i wanna start like modifyingh my keyboard :)

maybe budget friendly too

[empty wren]

No

Not budget friendly at all

Akko

Ars a good budget option

Have you tried AliExpress

Yes but you can even find Cyrillic on aliexpress

I am sure a few enigma machines exist

Try akko next time

They may be copycats but they do it well

Just mail it somewhere I guess

Not all of them bend to acetone

Funny you say that

So today I was trying to clean my pliers with a butane blowtorch

The plastic is still on them and handle melted

I mean eh

His stuff

Pps will wistand acetone

Or any solvent under 200c or so

Pbt is resistant to acetone

Abs for sure will not

And lucky for you

Most keycaps are probably abs

People should stop littering

Not even a problem on the ocean

Just outside my neighborhood entrance there is trash near the sidealk

[halcyon moss]

yesterday, i had github copilot rewrite an entire function of ~80 lines to a generator function. almost flawlessly

[wheat plume]

oo

I think CoPilot is a paid app now, isnt it?

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean with modern online regex sims/tools it's easy

Back in my day you just tested over and over until you gave up and started drinking

[wheat plume]

xd

[halcyon moss]

yes, but well worth it imho

[wheat plume]

Yea, I bet

[halcyon moss]

that rewrite already saved me an hour.

[wheat plume]

oo

[halcyon moss]

but that hour was replaced with slight amazement and existential doubts

[wheat plume]

every waking hour is full of that last bit for me

its great!!!!!! /S

[halcyon moss]

too bad it can write the integration test for this

[fair gull]

i can

function test() {return true}

saved u an hour

[halcyon moss]

if it was only an hour

geebus that is large

[vagrant pagoda]

That's what she said

[halcyon moss]

yeah sounds like my first time

[wheat plume]

ooo HDR has been added to Steam Deck beta

[ashen spindle]

why though

[wheat plume]

Does this mean there is a firmware updat for the Dock too?

[wheat plume]

playing Docked ona HDR display

[ashen spindle]

oh right, forgot it cant do that yet

[wheat plume]

yeh, mostly cause Linux itself cant do it yet

[gusty kiln]

7900xt at 799 now

[halcyon moss]

yeah.. linux is interesting in that sometimes

not sure about vrr either

[vagrant pagoda]

Linux hdr has been a pipe dream for like 5 years now lol

[ashen spindle]

valve has done work for it and shown some results

but how well? idk

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean so has redhat

Amd

And intel

But it still isn't there

It's the main reason I went from looking glass to just windows with Linux vm

[ashen spindle]

well valve would make a push for it because they likely want it to be there for deckard

[crimson wigeon]

DECKARD

[ashen spindle]

I SWEAR ITS REAL

[crimson wigeon]

Wheeereee iiissiitt

[ashen spindle]

I NEED IT

[vagrant pagoda]

I get it, you want a bigger deck. We all want a bigger deck.

[ashen spindle]

but yeah, 2 months ago they had something working at least https://twitter.com/Plagman2/status/1610200412854046720

Pierre-Loup Griffais (@Plagman2)

New Linux gaming milestone: with the latest work from Josh Ashton, HDR can now be enabled for real games! Tested it tonight on my AMD desktop with Halo Infinite, Deep Rock Galactic, DEATH STRANDING DC. Very early and will still need some time to bake to be useful to most.

[vagrant pagoda]

You just need to be happy with the deck you have

[halcyon moss]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

[vagrant pagoda]

Maybe use some new zealand deck sealant, to really get your deck looking nice

[ashen spindle]

but definitely a big reason why linux gaming just doesnt exist for me in the near future still

[wheat plume]

Yeah
It aint going to be working on NVidia GPUs anytime soon

mainly cause they are closed source so no one can edit them

[vagrant pagoda]

I moved to a oled for my work PC, and dropped my looking glass setup because of hdr

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean Nvidia can just release it

[wheat plume]

looking glass setup?

[vagrant pagoda]

Nvidia probably has more driver engineers than Intel and AMD conbinded

[vagrant pagoda]

Uses DMA to transfer a windows VM display to linux host

As a window or Fullscreen

It's pretty neet

[wheat plume]

not sure what DMA is...but sounds neat!

[vagrant pagoda]

Direct memory access

[halcyon moss]

i cant imagine doing windows for my work ..

[vagrant pagoda]

Everything I use for work is windows only

[halcyon moss]

i also do not require hdr 😉

[ashen spindle]

start windows, launch wsl for work, close wsl when work is over?

job/life seperation done xD

[wheat plume]

yes..but they dont care much about Linux
Their lack of interest is one of the factors keeping wayland back as much as it is

[halcyon moss]

yeah.. its not that simple

and much slower

[vagrant pagoda]

What I do now

[halcyon moss]

and much more mem intensive

[ashen spindle]

sounds like a issue solvable by brute force

[vagrant pagoda]

They don't care about Linux gui

Linux cuda works amazingly

[wheat plume]

🤔 ooh

TBF, their NVidia Setting app is fantastic too on Linux

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah just buy better hardware lol

[vagrant pagoda]

But no one in an industry that uses workstation gpus wants a Linux workstation

[wheat plume]

to configure drivers without manually configuring shit

[halcyon moss]

you mean.. it hasnt been updated in the last 10 years? :p

[wheat plume]

its still got a lot of useful shit :P

[halcyon moss]

true

[crimson wigeon]

Like what?

[wheat plume]

idk how to enable HDR on my monitor in the OSD

I have AMD FreeSync on but idk if that works with nvidia GPU

[ashen spindle]

by keeping it off because if you even have hdr its the bad hdr

[wheat plume]

xd

[ashen spindle]

you wont find a hdr monitor below 500 still

[wheat plume]

this one does have HDR but barely

I can enable it in the Windows settings

but I cant fidn it in the OSD... wtf

[ashen spindle]

the hdr it has is like 720p being called hd ready

[wheat plume]

yeh... xd

[ashen spindle]

so you can turn it on but its not what hdr looks like

[wheat plume]

I dont see much difference

maybe im not looking at good samples

[halcyon moss]

400 nits of hdr

[ashen spindle]

that what I keep saying... you dont really have hdr

its bad so you either see no difference or bad contrast that is overblown

[wheat plume]

Yeah, true

I notice it being slightly more nicer looking but not much

maybe placebo

I love having two screens, so i can use the Deck on one and keep typing on my computer on the other

and swap my kb+m between them with the switch

[wheat plume]

Found a console on SteamOS beta

Once you enter it the first time
It adds itself as an option on the Steam Menu

[fair gull]

u mean Konsole

[tame hedge]

They meant console in terms of terminal (general concept) rather than specifically just the KDE terminal I believe

[wheat plume]

This is definitely not konsole

I'm still in game mode

I added konsole to game mode before
It doesn't work very well

[pale sigil]

A few things don't work well

I'm thinking of installing windows

Directly

Because I can just auto start steam big screen with the deck version

Love them though

that's actually pretty interesting, great video

[wheat plume]

very!

[vagrant pagoda]

dual ball bearing is nuts

i see no MAX skus for sale anywhere

artics site links to the normal p12

[sharp badger]

There's only single fan packs atm. what i've seen , they are available through Amazon and Arctics page , 12.99€ for 1

Would like to buy a new case too, O11D Evo is nice but don't really want a wide case , Fractal torrent is nice too & it's not as Wide , NZXT H7 looks ok also the H9 but the latter is just not as flexible as the O11D with options

[ashen spindle]

lancool II mesh is great for airflow and used ot be decently cheap

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[old marlin]

I like my torrent a lot

but I got it cheap

[sharp badger]

https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/TK1White.html New Jonsbo itx case

[old marlin]

that's one expensive piece of glass

[sharp badger]

The full-size?

[old marlin]

yes

[sharp badger]

What cooler are you using?

[old marlin]

LFII 420mm

barely fits in the front

not using the large fans

from what I heard they can be problematic anyways

[sharp badger]

Lol nice 🧑‍🔧👍

Yeah heard that, would be nice to have some T30 - 140mm if they ever release and just fit as many as possible in the Torrent

[vagrant pagoda]

link?

for amazon

[vagrant pagoda]

420 fits fine in a torrent though?

[sharp badger]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09VDNKL4G?tag=hardwar04-21&geniuslink=true

[old marlin]

Barely

[vagrant pagoda]

no buying options

[old marlin]

Topmost screws don't fit lol

[vagrant pagoda]

i only test fit a XSPC 420

[vagrant pagoda]

the AIO might be longer

odd mine shows none

i am running a P1 in my torrent

with top and bottom dual 180s

[sharp badger]

Are you from the US?

[vagrant pagoda]

yes

amazon dose international shipping though

maybe that seller dosent

[sharp badger]

Yeah sometimes it's like that searched the US & DE store quickly but didn't find any

[vagrant pagoda]

the us arctic site links the max to the non max

[sharp badger]

Lol ok 😅

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah the freezer 2 has a big top tank

odd

XSPC lists the 420 as 460

[sharp badger]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/234906690972?hash=item36b187a59c:g:TxIAAOSwQg9j9JDc&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8Px8AOWITkS6lDVy9LgqXk5TcNkhNId2vyPtIRF1K2%2BJl%2F7bGeMlwB%2BQyQ7VvHZyVJcwQbqlxE0XA1qvzVYr07NMHJStChq4DjxqVqu5JKj1EO4q1TkvTKypFzAu%2Bh3CKlUV24iO9%2FGAhSaVRqUwE%2BpBB4lTQ2uncEV932Vbvkk83p8bh4sJbZgkhV2fRJPYy%2BQyNBNgztTO2vPE%2BdULCNGRgDionosyVrKTIV89XpFAzarVv3Ns4Lv0sg0wwN1o13gAT5V93SefUOovQff1I0CyZd70d1w1%2BYHLh8ET6XwF53V94NvKLQ6d%2FN%2FQHy%2BfVA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBM_tabwtRh

so someone is lying XD

[vagrant pagoda]

protip strip all that shit out of the url

https://ebay.com/itm/234906690972

[sharp badger]

Yeah just quick linked it from the mobile browser 😀👍

[vagrant pagoda]

i really want a 180x2 aio

but it wont come

i might just make one

i have a 180x2 rad

[sharp badger]

I saw that someone had the 180mm front fans and a 420mm rad in the Torrent 😅

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah they fit in the bottom with a thin front rad

you can actually fit dual 180x2x45/35s

just have to run reverse airflow

inthough case, out the rads

[sharp badger]

Ok 🤔

Phanteks has the NV7 arriving soon too

[vagrant pagoda]

you can also have a 180x2x65 and a 280x45

dosent really compete with the torrent

[sharp badger]

No it's competing more with the Y60/O11/H9 group

How quickly do Fractal update their cases?

[old marlin]

That is just having the fans in the front

Idk how they fit them in though

[sharp badger]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1401030-fractal-torrent-fan-airflow-configuration-with-beefy-liquid-freezer-ii-420-aio/ This, very wonky mounting solution on the rad lol

[vagrant pagoda]

you just cut the bottom mount

[gusty kiln]

would you use a mesh side panel if fractal offered it like on the North?

BTW how did you undervolt your 5800X3D?

tempted to try

[vagrant pagoda]

cure editor

and i have solid

[cursive grove]

Ummm atcshually you’re supposhed to put the tubesh on the bottom 🤓

[vagrant pagoda]

No

Not my rig and not wrong

Pump can't be the highest item

Tube can go up if the rad is above the pump

[empty wren]

https://9to5google.com/2023/03/02/samsung-phone-battery-mod/

[empty wren]

Gonna be honest I think at that point I will take the Energizer phone

But a replacement battery

Just make sure it does not have a thermistor instead of a proper circuit board with sensors

Oof

Apple actually has a good repair path

However

Fair phone definitely does it better

Google does have a thing with ibrokeufixit

Fair phone?

That does not seem expensive

Newest pixels are about that much

Or the pro is

If anything I more crazy about Motorola force or whatever the plastic one was called

Had dual front facing speakers

And no display to crack

[astral haven]

but only if you pay apple for it

[empty wren]

Well.. I mean if you are less skilled sure

[astral haven]

nah

[empty wren]

But if take it apart, everything is neatly layed out

[astral haven]

have you repaired an apple phone?

[empty wren]

No but I have repaired android phones

[astral haven]

specifically after the 6 clones

[empty wren]

Battery pull tabs or stickers suck

[astral haven]

so iphone x, 11 12 13

[empty wren]

Hmm

[astral haven]

these are AWFUL

[empty wren]

If you mean the hardware locks fair

[astral haven]

i did those repairs when i was a tech and obviously you cant buy an apple screen

but the 3rd party screens that are available now are significantly worse than they ever were

[empty wren]

Now thankfully consumers can and take it to a shop

[astral haven]

but only an apple shop

and only an official apple store can get quick service with official parts

[empty wren]

Back at the time Motorola and htc made some good phones

Could wait for pixel 6a or 7a

[astral haven]

motorola is still making interesting phones

my favorite is sony

[empty wren]

They are good and even the edge ones are coming down in price, but Motorola used to be funky too with the moto mods

Sorry for the ping

[astral haven]

despite sony being the biggest of conglomerates, they have insanely good repairability

[empty wren]

Sony also does not tamper too much with android as well

[astral haven]

yep

only problem is they are expensive and on paper worse than samsung

[empty wren]

I mean the camera stuff probably is better

[astral haven]

unfortunatly not :/

[empty wren]

Really now

[astral haven]

samsung makes the better small sensors, and sony is awful at stock processing

also sony bses about their sensors

sony: "same sensor as a camera with a 1 inch sensor"
reviewers: its the middle 12 megapixels of a 20 megapixel sensor, and when you remove those 8 megapixels around the outside its actually a smaller sensor than a standard phone sensor

[empty wren]

Just wait for the Google store sale or whatever

[astral haven]

to be entirely fair it had the best autofocus in any smartphone and it also has 4k120 on all 4 sensors
and it also has optical zoom

also extremely consistently not the best lel

you havent spent enough time peeping iphone images lel

my work phone is an iphone and i use it alooooot for documentation and its pain

extremely basic well lit shots it still manages to blur sometimes

[empty wren]

It was stated the newer iPhones are using processing that overdoes

[astral haven]

yea

but also an iphone has never won the mkbhd blind smartphone test

and its extremely consistently not even close

also especially if you arent Caucasian

[empty wren]

Yeah was about to mention that, google made up for that

[astral haven]

and while samsung generally doesnt win, they are almost always near the top, and ive never seen a pic of mkbhd look bad from one (of the flagships that is)

[empty wren]

Just use a Polaroid in the shadows

[astral haven]

that surprises me tbh

what are you taking pics of?

well yea no shit you dont have a zoom lens

the only options for that are the ultra chinese and samsung

[empty wren]

If only moment still made pixel lens cases

[empty wren]

Samsung has a great zoom on their newest model

[astral haven]

its the exact same one as their last 2 models 😦

[empty wren]

Well they must be doing some great processing then

[astral haven]

and yet noone has gotten even close besides huawei i think it was?

[astral haven]

the processing is the same

[empty wren]

Huawei also faked the moon

[astral haven]

yea and samsung didnt need to lel

[empty wren]

Weird I guess I need to recheck the review coulda sworn it looked better

[astral haven]

i use it for reading text really far away, and the tests i did at best buy it ended up worse

[empty wren]

Interesting

[astral haven]

maybe with less zoom it has more chance to process?

the main camera is no contest btw

that 200mp sensor is a beast

and the 50mp mode is excellent

[empty wren]

Lol yeah nevermind it was compared to an iphone

Oppo find x(since 2) and Asus Zenfone(since 8)also have some nice processing opinion

Not a fan of Samsung's personally

[astral haven]

the problem is that noone else is anywhere near as much zoom

[empty wren]

Yeah sadly just samsung

I remember when Huawei showed off the night mode

And it was crazy cool

[astral haven]

i just bought a nice external ir camera

i paid $350 for mine lel

its more of a close range one tho

[empty wren]

https://youtu.be/ww3L56FTd1E

Have you heard of night sight locke

[empty wren]

Even those have night sight

Right?

Oh

Hmm?

It can take a longer exposure

For like a night sky

The phone just needs to be very still

Fair enough if you think a phone is only meant for calls. I barely get em so I mostly use mine as tool, like ar tape measure.

Yep

Google really made it user simple

Probably might be

Since it likely uses an open source version

Holy that is like dead simple

Just video and photo

Yeah probably missing the night sight feature then

I shouldn't sell hardware to friends

It makes me so anxious if there's issues years after

[reef patrol]

I give them a 3 month warranty and that's that.

[pale sigil]

Oh they aren't being an ass or anything, just asking for help haha

I think they fried the mobo doing a deep clean

Ethernet light is on but it won't boot via short or case button.

Tried two PSUs.

[halcyon moss]

a deep clean? why

[reef patrol]

Hard pass. Like Linus and co. say I don't help people months or years down the road. I'm not their personal tech support unless they pay me 😄

[pale sigil]

They also were using a foundation brush

Which probably builds up static

[ashen spindle]

how dusty was it if that was needed

[pale sigil]

Close friend

Any advice here? So far I suggested checking the CPU and re socket in dade it was tight, checking different PSU, re plugging the cables, resitting ram.

[reef patrol]

Go down to a PC repair shop and let them take a look - You're most likely going to need to swap components that you don't have available to find the culprit.

[pale sigil]

Ye that's what I thought, I'd do the exact same... If only intel didn't require different mobos every gen

[reef patrol]

Yeah... it wasn't easy even back when I had motherboards by the mile when reviewing. 😦

[solemn remnant]

motherload of motherboards

[reef patrol]

But honestly the best bet if the obvious things don't work is to find a PC repair shop that's willing to look at it for free or cheap before they give you an offer on a fix. If all they have to do is swap the motherboard that's usually not a huge ask.

It was... hell.

Imagine ASUS or ASrock sending you a box of like 6-9 motherboards a week before they all released, asking you to review them. Review... motherboards. Those things notorious for being completely irrelevant to pick between except price and number of connections. Real struggle to write a couple of pages that aren't just rewritten copy/pasted sentences saying nothing with pretty macro photos in between 😄

[halcyon moss]

yeah.. that's why i go for the cheapest option with the features i want. like intel wifi chip

[vagrant pagoda]

Bring back post codes

[vagrant pagoda]

My x58 has a dongle you can plug into the tpm port

That gives you post code

[sharp badger]

Post codes haven't gone anywhere yet but the price to get a board with one has risen. One of the reasons I bought this Z690 board

[reef patrol]

Just get a beeper speaker you zoomers 😄

[fair gull]

which you cant do without admin i think

[ashen spindle]

if a hacker has access to your pc so that they can move the exe elsewhere and then start it, I dont think applocker is what should protect you there

[fair gull]

also that

so i watched the video and quite literally had to tell the browser to keep the file that was flagged as bad

[earnest viper]

I don't understand technical stuff like this well, so I'll ask here; will any of the keyboard features be unavailable to me if I plug it into my monitor and then my laptop?

[ashen spindle]

if the monitor kvm has sufficent bandwith/speed that should work just fine

since most are usb3 that should work

couldn't tell you for certain though

works with my external kvm, with some cheaper ones it doesnt etc.

[earnest viper]

Very cool, thank you

[fair gull]

its power thats the main concern

the keyboard operates at sub usb2 speeds

like usb 1.2 or something

[ashen spindle]

well I was more thinking about bandwith when using multiple devices on the kvm, not if its the board alone

[fair gull]

oh

When'll Sony pull an Apple and start investing in its own silicon

[ashen spindle]

when they want to financially go bankrupt for no reason

[shadow minnow]

Doesn’t don’t make some silicone?

[cursive summit]

Doesn't don't?

[shadow minnow]

[cursive summit]

Sony sells enough volume though to warrant cheaper units and therefore more profits by investing into own silicone

It's not Nintendo levels of units sold but still in high tens of millions

[ashen spindle]

ah yes, the strat to invest billions to save a few millions

[cursive summit]

I mean, depending on how much they would be saving, it'd earn them hundreds of millions extra, potentially

[ashen spindle]

no

[shadow minnow]

I knew I stumbled upon song silicone before

[ashen spindle]

you drunk?
