In 2 days woo

cursive summit
#

290$

final flame
#

Nah

cursive summit
#

I am not sure why a Blessing2 needs a sequel though

#

It's like, one of the best IEMs dogekek

final flame
#

I hope they have a engraving option

#

Having a engraving on that mirror finish would look so damn good

cursive summit
#

Although I thought that Blessing 2 had 2DDs

#

It has only one? Impressive

jade lintel
#

seems like that only applies to amd mobile

#

still stupid

cursive summit
#

I guess B3 doubling the DDs is very impressive, but I start to question their profit margins

#

DDs, from what I heard, especially custom, are a bit expensive

#

And obviously double the drivers ≠ better sound

jade lintel
#

what is pretty much a 6800u in that form factor seems pretty cool

vagrant pagoda
#

what are the sizes of the dds?

jade lintel
#

(if im remembering the name right)

ashen spindle
#

Around that powerlevel yeah

cursive summit
ashen spindle
#

But those mini pcs exist since those cpus came out so nothing fancy

cursive summit
#

I find it really weird B3 is adding an extra driver and charges LESS

#

Did they just release an overall better product with lower profit margins?

vagrant pagoda
cursive summit
#

Blessing2 has only 1 DD

#

For B2 it was:
Driver: 1DD + 4BA Hybrid
Treble driver: Knowles SWFK
Mids driver: Softears D-MID-A
Bass driver: 10mm paper basin diaphragm dynamic driver

#

B3 will be 2DD + 4BA

#

I guess reviews tomorrow?

#

ooooo hek yeah

gusty kiln

ooooo

cursive summit
#

Wtf are those window icons?

#

Is that how MacOS does the three functions for minimize/maximize/close?

wheat plume
#

huh?

#

yes

cursive summit
#

That is... shite

#

Looks terrible

wheat plume
#

I prefer those buttons on the left but I hate the MacOS design for them

#

the order in MacOS is Close, Fullscreen, Minimise

#

I think

frozen ingot
#

I mean of course you think its shite when its apple, that's more predictable than the sun setting everyday

cursive summit
#

I prefer them on the right myself

#

The way Windows does it just makes sense

wheat plume
#

Nah, cause most mouse activity is on the left side of the screen

#

so you dont need to move the mouse WAY over to the right for them like in Windows

cursive summit
#

Disagreed cause that way you don't click those 3 buttons accidentally on Windows

#

Also I like my speed flick clicks to close a window

wheat plume
#

I have never once accidently clicked them by accident on the left side

frozen ingot
#

imagine having so microscopic experience with something that you didn't even know about a GUI style they've been using since the fuggin late 80s yet somehow still hate everything about it

wheat plume
#

^

#

yeah

#

how TF did you not know this already?

#

They are iconic for the colors

frozen ingot
#

because its apple bad vex

wheat plume
#

they are called the fucking Traffic Light buttons LOL

cursive summit
#

Apple = don't care dogekek

wheat plume
#

yeah but surely youve seen screenshots from macOS before

#

or in a movie or whatever

#

or videos

cursive summit
#

Nah not really

wheat plume
#

wat

cursive summit
#

I just don't care

frozen ingot
#

its about as much of an npc reaction as apple sheeple praising everything they do

cursive summit
#

Still color coding them is a weird choice

#

A bit unintuitive

wheat plume
#

🤢

#

too many popovers

wheat plume
#

im so confused

#

Mandriva makes sudo say weird shit if you get your password wrong

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah it's a sudo feature that most distros don't have enabled by defaultl, sadly

wheat plume
#

oo..

#

this is not a thing Mandriva made?

#

interesting

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah literally just visudo and remove the # from #Defaults insults

wheat plume
#

you know what i FUCKING HATE on Plasma desktop?

#

Switching between virtual desktops if you scroll on the desktop

#

Ive done it by accident SO MANY TIMES and its so annoying

crimson wigeon
#

So disable that

wheat plume
#

I do

#

but I forget to sometimes

#

I am tempted to switch back to SolusOS

#

I spent years on it and I enjoyed my time, but the lack of software back then was crippling it, hopefully their repo is larger now

wtf is this font xd

where's the 0 from binary

wheat plume
#

oh gosh

shadow minnow
# cursive summit A bit unintuitive

Why though? It’s same way that you color code other things, like traffic lights. Makes distinction clear without having to focus on the symbol.

wheat plume
#

its horrible

solemn remnant
#

wher wher okay cool I just found a thing, if I type where fast it drops the last e

#

wher fuck

shadow minnow
#

Now the icons are not perfect sure but I don’t see how is color coding not intuitive

solemn remnant
#

shit my e's fucked

cursive summit
#

So green stands for...? @shadow minnow

#

Red is prolly close?

wheat plume
#

yes

#

except MacOS doesnt close an app

cursive summit
#

Yellow should be maximize, logically

shadow minnow
wheat plume
#

it just hides the window

shadow minnow
cursive summit
#

I don't get how green stands for anything

wheat plume
#

to close an app, you need to click its name in the global menu and select close app

either that or 7900XTX stock is magically really good

cooler clearances matter more

Aight - Time to reinstall Windows as part of spring cleaning 😄

rough osprey
#

if your pc is bad yeah

cursive summit
#

I like it but it has caveats

#

Some of the debloating removes borderline critical components of Win11

#

I could not get .NET to work cause it would try to call for Windows version and it'd get null or something

#

So yeah certain productivity apps will not work at all

reef patrol
#

Installed compact cause superlite wouldn't pepe_uhm

#

Now to add back all of my tweaks like a proper start menu without recommends and the proper right click menu dogekek

thanks

Eh figured I'd try. My old install was an abomination of 10 turned into 11 turned back into 10 and then into 11 again I think.

#

aaaaaaah. 100% zoom in Discord is tiny at 1440p

frozen ingot
#

time for glasses old man

reef patrol
#

Already got them - I'm near sighted though so don't really do much 😄

ashen spindle
#

render your discord at 4k and downsample it so its looking sharper dogekek

reef patrol
ashen spindle
#

or I guess 2x 1440p would be better

#

I remember downsampling was the hot shit when I first got into pcs

#

nvidia showing to render games at 4k on a maxwell/pascal gpu lmao imagine doing that nowadays

reef patrol
#

OHNO

#

Youtube re-enabled ambilight

wheat plume
#

What

reef patrol
#

That ambient light thing around videos.

wheat plume
#

Oohh

rough osprey
#

actually cool tbh

cursive summit
#

Oh hell yeah

#

This looks much nicer

#

B3 might be a banger of an IEM

#

Shame it's so expensive

rough osprey
#

still those peaks

#

ouch

#

b2 is harsh

#

doesn't seem to be fixed

cursive summit
#

Every headphone/IEM has that 4k-ish peak

#

That needs to be there for our ears

rough osprey
#

the height of those tho

#

and 8-10k thing

#

is just not that enjoyable imo

#

why cheaper

cursive summit
#

That looks very normal measurements to me

#

Actually pretty clean looking

#

Although I don't like that harman looking bass shelf

#

Myself I just like the bass looking flat with the mids

rough osprey
#

just speaking from my experience with b2

cursive summit
#

Although I liked the K371 and that's harman, sounded good

rough osprey
#

i found 560s to be much more enjoyable

#

even though its a headphone

cursive summit
#

Headphones > IEMs

rough osprey
#

ye

cursive summit
#

That is the truth and nobody will prove it otherwise

rough osprey
#

sold my b2 bc of that

cursive summit
#

Speakers <=> headphones

#

IEMs are the poor man's headphones dogekek

rough osprey
#

speakers or headphones is preference i guess

cursive summit
#

Indeed it is

rough osprey
#

one doesn't replace the other

cursive summit
#

I like my headphones

#

Some cunts like blasting their speakers at like 100db at 11pm

#

Like fuck off

#

Headphones give me privacy, which I greatly enjoy

rough osprey
#

if you're lucky

cursive summit
#

I wish there was a headphone convention somewhere anywhere near my country

#

I'd love to try a lot of headphones out

#

HoA is a distinctly american thing

#

Also fuck hoa

wheat plume
#

you mean, noise like those loud guns people use too often?

#

the latest video I saw related to cops was them following a bunch of teens back to their house so they could charge them for jaywalking across a road in a suburban housing estate that does NOT HAVE ANY CROSSING ON THE ROAD FOR MILES

#

and I saw another video of police in Canada arresting a man with a walking stick because they thought it was a foldable gun

The rest of the world would do better if you americans had no access to our internet

Really nothing that special

Still a lot of phones that have one

in 2023....yes it fucking is

#

I suspect phones in 3 years wont have it at all, even budget ones

cursive summit
#

Xperia 1 V where?

old marlin
cursive summit
#

No other phones matter as long as there's a new Xperia

wheat plume
#

Xperia is mega expensive without the software support to back up that price ;-;

#

you get like 1 Android upgrade

cursive summit
#

Just install a custom rom then?

#

Also android updates don't matter

#

I couldn't care less for android updates, more shit bloat and useless features

wheat plume
#

and you dont use banking apps

#

cause they dont work on custom ROMs unless you root it and then hide the root and even then its finnicky

cursive summit
#

You have some weird ass banks

wheat plume
#

im also talking about Paypal

cursive summit
#

Who uses paypal anymore dogekek

wheat plume
#

too many people :/

cursive summit
#

That's why you use it in browser?

frozen ingot
#

xperia the only android worth having

cursive summit
#

So it doesn't matter what device you are using

#

Xperias are the apex of phones honestly

#

The no compromise, no bullshit Android experience

wheat plume
#

why use Lineage

cursive summit
#

They launched one last year, dood

wheat plume
#

there are better roms

#

what pixel you got it on?

#

aha

ashen spindle
#

tbf wouldn't it be better if the 3.5mm jack would just die out entirely in favor of usb-c

wheat plume
#

Wait for the 7A!

ashen spindle
#

could just use it anywhere and have the port be usable for something else if you dont need it

#

not going to happen but would be neat

wheat plume
ashen spindle
#

yes you can, if you need two ports just have two usb c ports

#

or use a splitter or anything

wheat plume
#

you want TWO USB C ports on a single phone?

ashen spindle
#

why not

#

what speaks for usb+3.5 over two usb?

wheat plume
#

oh gosh...yea probably

#

6A went on sale a bit ago for like 300 dollars, pretty neat

#

just not in Ireland ;-;

#

yeah same here

#

my most expensive phone was this one I am using, it was 240 euro

ashen spindle
#

and also how often do you really charge and listen to music at the same time, not like you can carry it around while its plugged in to charge

wheat plume
#

wait, its on sale now@prisma crag

frozen ingot
#

subscriptions here are so cheap it doesn't really make much sense paying up front for just a phone imo

wheat plume
#

but then you have the major downside of having a carrier locked phone

frozen ingot
#

don't care

wheat plume
#

Harder to re-sell, some updates dont get sent out cause carriers dont want to update their apps

#

custom roms can be harder to install

frozen ingot
#

you can also unlock it when the subscription ends

#

if you want

#

after 2-3 years most of my phones are spent anyways dogekek

cursive summit
#

I am cautiously optimistic for new Xperia V series to cost up to 999

#

1499 is a bit horny

frozen ingot
#

was planning to sell my note 8 after subscription ended but that piece of shit started to fall apart after 1-1,5 years of use

#

I've had my current phone since 2019 and still ticking

cinder apex
frozen ingot
#

don't think I've had one particular phone this long maybe ever

#

and I've had a cell phone since 2000

cursive summit
#

Ngl if I buy a phone that costs more than 400-500$, it will be with me for longer than 3 years

#

Although I can hardly justify getting a new phone since this Poco X3 is holding up well

#

But man it feels mega cheap

#

China phones are indeed mega cheapo

frozen ingot
#

I used to switch every 2 years for a long time, but phone development has been stagnating so much the last couple years I don't see a point any longer

cursive summit
#

What is there to innovate anymore

#

The big headlines are either "RGB" or "More cameras"

frozen ingot
#

I mostly upgrade for the camera

cursive summit
#

I don't remember the last time I used my camera

#

Useful feature but not worth spending too much over

frozen ingot
#

I have to charge my current one at least once daily after its been fully charged from morning

#

sometimes twice

#

battery life sucks ass dogekek

solemn remnant
#

a year old iphone 13 pro lasted a a week back then, now I have to charge daily what

frozen ingot
#

when am out and about I use it quite a bit

ashen spindle
#

that sounds like you can warranty it for broken battery

frozen ingot
#

battery health is rated at 78% on it atm

#

yeah and its not like I've been that careful to treat it properly

wheat plume
#

O.o

cursive summit

Damn if only phones were easily openable nowadays to change internal components for longevity

Fierce competition between NVIDIA DLSS2 and AMD FSR2 in 26 titles Since AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS technologies are now available in multiple titles together, reviewers have a chance to compare the quality and performance of each technology side by side. HardwareUnboxed have taken this enormous effort upon themselves by comparing hundreds of images...

#

Unfortunate, but at least FSR2 is still good enough

thick elk
#

yes and no, on 4k sure, on 1440p it becomes situational.
Still I do hope amd manages to get some improvements in, especially around image stability

#

and lets not forget lower resolutions

#

a steam deck has a 800p screen, where upscaling may still be beneficial.

pale sigil
cursive summit
#

It's good enough

pale sigil
#

Wait, nvidia are still working on dlss 2?

cursive summit
#

Always has been

pale sigil
#

sorry i meant

#

2

cursive summit
#

DLSS2 is behind us for now

#

3 is the new big toy

ashen spindle
#

false

#

3 is frame hallucinations

cursive summit
#

2.3 is the last update, though

ashen spindle
#

2 is still the scaling

ashen spindle
#

unless we look at steam deck resolutions maybe

pale sigil
#

I think thats one of few with the new fsr

ashen spindle
#

like dlss 2 made 1 useable, I dont think 3 will be useable before next gen

#

unless you prefer worse latency and artifacts

pale sigil
#

Which one is which i wonder

ashen spindle
#

doesnt matter because still frame comparisons rarely make sense

pale sigil
#

but there is a rather large difference

ashen spindle
#

not saying its the same, saying purely looking at still image quality for movement makes little sense

#

especially when its using motion vectors and such

pale sigil
#

iI dont like the flashing stuff in FSR tbh and it can be more blury

#

either way FSR is getting impressively good

#

What i hate is DLSS sharpness tbh

vagrant pagoda
#

hahahhahaha

#

Roman is unhinged

cursive summit
#

I mean, it's easy to make a cooler

#

What do you mean by "M.2" though dogekek

ashen spindle
#

the only thing thats m.2 on computers

cursive summit
#

Why would you need to actively cool an M.2 drive

#

Or anything else that uses PCIe x4

vagrant pagoda
#

you have no idea about ssds?

cursive summit
#

Active coolers for SSDs? Never heard of them

vagrant pagoda
#

modern ssds thermal throttle after a few seconds without cooling

cursive summit
#

Thermal spreaders for passive cooling? Yes

vagrant pagoda
#

mobo heatsinks can getyou a minute of so

#

they still throttle

#

some mobos have heat pipes that will actually cool the ssds

#

the z790 master is pretty much the only mobo with a finned heatisnk stock

#

i mean the new e26 powered ssds come with a fan preinstalled

ashen spindle
#

will be worse in the future too

#

sram not scaling down but we need more density

thick elk
#

On the other hand the phone / laptop market is and will remain large so that will have to be factored in.

vagrant pagoda
#

i mean phones dont need the speed or size

#

so they are fine

#

you can get 128GB and 256GB single chip nand flash for that

thick elk
#

Power is also fairly important for the server space and with that added for quite a large portion of the market.

vagrant pagoda
#

yeah but ssd power is already killer compared to hdd

#

we are talking 20w max

halcyon willow
#

whats the best ssd i can buy

cursive summit
#

"Change your nickname" 1TB NVMe 8000MB/s R/W

#

Either way

#

PCIe 4 or 5?

#

Samsung 990 Pro is PCIe 5, prolly best thing you can get

pale sigil
#

Kek

cursive summit
#

@pale sigil why tho

pale sigil
#

No idea

cursive summit

What is this gerenglish?

vagrant pagoda

cursive summit

Be wary about the 3m part, signal degradation tends to kick in and you might be encountering problems

cursive summit
#

As long as it's a good quality USB-C to USB-A or USB-C , then yeah it should be good enough

ashen spindle
#

well to be fair it is not possible to give you a simple answer for that question

#

it will work in general yes,

#

but for tachyon mode it needs to have enough signal strength

cursive summit
#

Get 1.5m instead though, you might be risking with 3m

ashen spindle

which is not something that is really visible or known for a cable unless you have some thousands $ expensive cable tester

compared to something like the dusk

I think I might really like these

#

K371s which I used to like were way over Harman bass target

K702s currently are way below and still amazing

These are inbetween in bass and match K702 in most areas

Now to hope they aren't like 349 euros

I'm still going to wait on individual reviews, I'd like to see how they compare to their predecessors the dusk and blessing 2

If you mean glass and metal yeah it does a bit better

Acrylic or polycarbonate is sufficient for 60°C with a heated bed

I guess

empty wren

It is a lot of aftermarket enclosures are like that

Also throw in a Ac powered bed

And you kinda got an enclosure heater

True

I will say this though if they sealed the metal up correctly then less heat will leak out

Especially considering how do far from what I seen creality printer beds really suck or maybe that is just all pcb heater beds

#

Too much heat goes into the surroundings

#

And the bed takes kes quite a while to heat up

empty wren
#

Especially where the front door is

tribal dirge
#

Although that can be fixed easily by using silicone and some gaskets

empty wren
#

Definitely

#

But if just metal can present

#

Like reality has done or Bambu labs

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

That would be much better in the long run

#

Since the rubber seals wear out

#

You can tell from grocery stores refrigerator doors or in time the refrigerator door at home

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

I got one for $50 recently 😏

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

Nah an ultimaker

tribal dirge
#

What!!??

empty wren
#

It is the wooden one

tribal dirge
#

Oh, mine is a bit fancier

empty wren
#

Yep those machines do have some nice stuff

#

I think some come with ball screws

tribal dirge
#

I see

#

I also pre ordered a Prusa XL

#

For larger prints

empty wren
#

Nice

#

That enclosure front is cool

tribal dirge
#

Indeed

#

And it has a toolchanger

empty wren
#

How many?

tribal dirge
#

Up to 5 print heads

empty wren
#

Sorry I meant how many did you choose

tribal dirge
#

2 print heads

#

One for the filament and the other for the water soluble supports

empty wren
#

thonk will save you a bit of time

#

Just unfortunate there is a purge block

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

Idex would best but holy does it make the x gantry heavier

tribal dirge
#

I might buy more print heads in the future.

#

For multicolored prints

#

Or multi material

empty wren
#

Sounds interesting

#

I may personally gonna probably go the mmu like route

tribal dirge
#

The upgrade kit?

empty wren
#

Well just the idea of it

#

There are a few options ercf and the annex one

#

They are more worked on the prusa mmu

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

Also they are much smaller than your toolheada

#

So I could do 16 colors for example

vagrant pagoda
empty wren
#

Absolutely

vagrant pagoda
#

ive seen some other projects but nothing sandalone

empty wren
#

Purging is gonna be difficult to figure out model to model without much waste

vagrant pagoda
#

i mean like pebble purge

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

Yeah Bambu labs even craps out some purge

tribal dirge
#

although whats interesting about the Prusa XL is that it changes the entire print head.

#

to swap material

empty wren
#

I have seen a purge block though

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

I guess I will wait for people to review the multi toolhead version

vagrant pagoda
#

nah

#

you have to purge the heads if they sit

empty wren
#

To get the filament to flow?

tribal dirge
#

wait but they still get power

halcyon willow
#

anyone got an opinion about the KZ ZS10 Pro IEM's

vagrant pagoda
#

i just purge tower to the max because itisnt worth saving filitimnt if you scrap the part

#

i have a mmu clone

#

also

#

i wish more pinteres used encoded steppers

#

i love mine

#

I have standalone 5160 drivers

#

they will do something stupid like 9a

#

but i only run ~2

#

i want to do this

empty wren
#

Whoah that is super automated

empty wren
tribal dirge
#

Add encoders to stepper motors?

#

Hmmm

empty wren
#

Yep

#

I think there some hybrid steppers also now

tribal dirge
#

Oh?

empty wren
#

Yeah I think the previous top ldo motors are like that

#

But still can add an encoder to them

#

Which would have to manually calibrated first

tribal dirge
#

My CNC mill has encoders built into its stepper motors.

empty wren
#

For that it makes a ton of sense

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

Yeah that would be ideal

tribal dirge
#

If it’s a normal magnetic encoder it would have to be zeroed every time it boots up.

empty wren
#

That sounds sucky

tribal dirge
empty wren
#

Oh

tribal dirge
#

Like 99 percent of printers out there

empty wren
#

I guess you are right

#

Sensorless homing is nice though

sinful mica
#

iso or ansi

#

which one should I get, I come from using laptop keyboards so I'm not used to any layout in particular

vagrant pagoda
empty wren
#

Ah nice

#

I might later look into them

vagrant pagoda
empty wren
#

Yep that is what I imagine them to be

#

Some of them also have screens

#

Though considering where steppers are located could be totally blocked off

vagrant pagoda
#

with those steppers

#

they take 56v no issues amazingly

empty wren
#

Ldo released some better motors so probably gonna stick with ldo

#

But yeah some people do use stepperonline

can i plug my secondary monitor to my motherboard to make it runs intergrated graphics and my main monitor plugged into my gpu to game at the max frames and it still runs? (i have a 7800x3d rx 7900 xtx system with 1 2k 240hz monitor for gaming and 1 1080 144 for afking games) and do i need to update both graphics drivers and will it causes problems as well as decrease performance when i drag my game to my second monitor (also will msi afterburner detect both gpus when open?
edit: will it decrease cpu performance as well?

wispy fractal
zealous lake
#

Is there a reason why you want to use the onboard graphics?

wispy fractal
#

1 for my 240hz gaming monitor to game

#

1 for the second monitor which i use to discord

zealous lake
#

You could just enable it and see if it works alright for you, gotta be done in the BIOS

wispy fractal
#

can it full load my 7900 xtx tho

#

i just think that if i have 2 gpus

#

i can use 1 for 1 monitor

zealous lake
#

If any part of the game peeks into the monitor that is running off of integrated then it will significantly impact the performance if that's what you're wondering

wispy fractal
#

oh

#

alr

#

so 2 monitors with 2 different gpus will not relate to each other right

zealous lake
#

Yeah they run separately at the same time

wispy fractal
#

so i can maxed out my 7900 xtx and the integrated graphics wont slide to my main monitor right?

#

like 7900 xtx 100% integrated for my second m 10%

zealous lake
#

There shouldn't be any issues, but I mean all you really need to do is go enable it in the BIOS, if it isn't already, plug the monitor into the MOBO port and see how it goes.
That being said there won't be any noticeable benefits either, compared to if they were both running off of the 7900 xtx, outside of some niche scenarios

wispy fractal
#

so u mean that even with the integrated graphics both will run off 7900 xtx?

#

i mean i have seen videos of people running 2 gpus

#

from what i can see both wont be maxed out

zealous lake
#

I don't really see a reason for plugging the second monitor into the motherboard.
If it's lack of ports like needing an extra HDMI port I'd just get an adaptor and it's a lot less hassle

wispy fractal
#

my only thing that im curious is can that setup maxed out my 2k 240hz monitor to 100%

#

i dont even know if 5% usage of a gpu can make a noticeable change

wispy fractal
#

no like im making sure that im getting the best performance of my gpu

#

lol

ashen spindle
#

Can we please wait until we get any actual info about next gen before we do these claims again dogekek

No leaker has said anything about performance yet

cursive summit
#

That's rude of you

wispy fractal
#

and bro

#

remember the 4070ti launch

#

they said that its 2-4x faster than 3090 ti

#

in reality

wispy fractal
#

4070 ti is only faster than 3090 ti for 5 or 10 frames or something close to that

#

still the best value card in 4000 lineup lol

rough osprey
#

and only in certain games

wispy fractal
cursive summit
#

It's not linear scaling dogekek

wispy fractal
#

also amd lied about the 7800x3d benchmarks lol

#

they said that its only "slightly" slower than the 7950x3d

#

7800x3d beats 7950x3d in almost all games

cursive summit
#

By benchmarks, is it also in productivity?

wispy fractal
cursive summit
#

Productivity should be heavily skewed towards 7950

#

Indeed, 7800 should have always outdone the 16 core in gaming

wispy fractal
#

7950x3d will crushes the 7800x3d

cursive summit
#

That's where you pick

#

Gaming or productivity

wispy fractal

gaming

#

thats why i went all amd

this time

I dunno if there are official stats or something like that

wispy fractal

i rarely even edit my videos

cursive summit
#

What's the market segment for productivity vs gamers

#

Which sells more

#

Cause consumer electronics isn't where the money's at

wispy fractal

uhhh

#

idk

cursive summit
#

Enterprise is always more valuable

wispy fractal
#

you can say its half half

#

there are alot of tech that supports productivity + gaming

cursive summit
wispy fractal

like intels xeons for example

cursive summit

Tbf nowadays everything is pretty good with productivity

wispy fractal

yea

#

i mean 7800x3d does productivity just fine

at least in my opinion

this time i went overkill so just wanna be careful picking parts and getting the best of my money

if you dont want to buy products with cringe marketing your choice is going to be severely limited dogekek

there's cringe, and then there's cartoon waifu marketing cringe

frozen ingot

I mean it isn't, if you're a weeb I guess

ashen spindle

its not even on the product, just throw away the box after you open it xD

cursive summit

#

The box has an anime character

#

But like, are you planning to stare at the box?

#

Will the marketing material just stay etched in your brain or something? dogekek

#

The product looks good and is pretty damn great

frozen ingot
#

I could never recommend that shit to anyone I knew

cursive summit
#

I feel sorry for your narrow minded perspective on this

frozen ingot
#

says the guy who hates everything apple makes or does despite never having actually used anything apple ever mm

cursive summit
#

We bring that up again dogekek

#

Apple makes some cool things

frozen ingot
#

well, am I wrong? dogekek

cursive summit
#

Yeah

#

Company practices are abysmal

#

But I can't argue that the iPad is like 1 of borderline 2 only good options in the tablet market

#

I did like the iPod as well, before they plugged it out of its life support

#

Good laptops, I guess, even if the price is bad

frozen ingot
#

I like how we're talking abysmal company practices while we're on the topic of a chinese audio equipment maker

#

most chinese companies have company practices very much like apples

cursive summit
#

Who knows, maybe moondrop doesn't pay their workers either

frozen ingot
#

probably not for a decent life, but who knows

either look on UK shops or see if you can order small enough quantities a few times to not have to pay customs and VAT on your things
