Would absolutely not advise getting one
Fit and finish is garbage
and they don't even function properly ootb
Even though they are assembled
Also the guy is known for not sending you free replacement parts if something arrives broken
Broken in the sense of unrepairable
Because it is expected to arrive in a "to be repaired" situation
empty wren
Is he saving money on production or something
empty wren
Oh
old marlin
And it is rather complicated
But the fit and finish just isn't there
A flat case for a case with a curved backplate is a stupid idea
Take a look at the round 2 cases for like a minute
And you can count multiple errors on the curved case as well
empty wren
Wait hold up did I read this right, the keyboard is limited production run and people are expected to buy parts for future failures

Yes

Hi, I happened to stumble upon these switches when looking for switches to put in a keyboard to simulate the pressures level of a piano.
-
is it possible to simulate them? As I've read in the site there isn't a single actuation point, am I wrong?
-
is it possible to mount then where I want, or do I need to buy these keyboards as well? In the case I'll pass
Thanks

The switches don’t work in other keyboards as all they are is a magnet (no contacts/electronics). So you need to buy either the 60HE or the 2 HE if you want the analog ability

Datacenter ones? Or consumer?
severe phoenix
Regarldess, if you want mass storage for SSDs, for 800$ you could get 16TB of NVME. 😛
lol
ashen spindle
would be nice, the memory price just hasnt really shrunk that it makes sense to exist at that price yet so I'm cautious if that deal is real
gusty kiln
Wish there was an inbetween storage option with the capacity of HDD and silent operation of SSD.
Speed maybe in between
ashen spindle
oh that is here already just for data centers
ssds are much denser it just still costs more for now
there was a LTT video where Anthony showed off stuff about it
gusty kiln
What is it called?
ashen spindle
storage software that uses QLC but basically manually addresses them so it's using each cell separately or so
gusty kiln
Oh hmmmm
charred lodge
You can put half of MS flight SIM on there
ashen spindle
idk some parts of it are talked about but thats part of the software they use so idk how much they disclose about it
didnt check their website
yeah its quite fancy
vagrant pagoda
That's just nvme?
Or some other standard
There is still a controller in the middle
Just like fusion io
ashen spindle
yeah it's them directly addressing the cells instead of sending data to a controller
thats how you can have the slc level speed at those densities
vagrant pagoda
There is no way for a CPU to access cells directly
There is a controller going from PCI-E to nand
There would be no need for super caps on the drive if there was no controller
Also you wouldn't have a heatsink on only the controller if there was no controller
fickle ore
pale sigil
Tltr?
fickle ore
1khz good no more lags
astral haven
There would be no need for super caps on the drive if there was no controller
thats very wrong, you still need to get the data fully written to the nand if you lose power...
they probably have a register chip just like how they have on ram, the register itself doesnt actually do any processing
vagrant pagoda
Yeah but buffer to nand is measured in nanoseconds, super cap run time is milliseconds. The CPU will be off while the caps are running so it will only be one write at most
shadow minnow
Isn’t that what apple does ish?
On the new Mac mini
Where the ssd doesn’t have a controller
reef patrol
Yep. Just to be spiteful.
shadow minnow
Well you can use an ssd on it with a controller
shadow minnow
I think you could but not sure now then
astral haven
Yeah but buffer to nand is measured in nanoseconds, super cap run time is millis...
very wrong, the register can be holding many transactions, a normal nvme ssd expects 30+ transactions to be on the fly at a time
ashen spindle
yes apple does something similar but not to the same amount of benefitting from it, mostly just hinders people using their own ssds
vagrant pagoda
Yeah but this is direct CPU to nand supposedly, so you'd buffer writes and read on CPU cache
CPU is much much fast so it will always be waiting for the nand
astral haven
thats not how registers work
astral haven
CPU is much much fast so it will always be waiting for the nand
and this is the entire point of a register
vagrant pagoda
Why would you use slower registers on the nand card than the cpu
astral haven
you dont
vagrant pagoda
The whole point of making it direct to CPU was to remove the delay
astral haven
you just have 1 register for many slow nand chips
the slowdown is the time it takes to write to the nand chips
vagrant pagoda
This is direct to nand chip supposedly
vagrant pagoda
Obviously it's over PCI-E
astral haven
they mean that the cpu has direct access to each individual nand cell
normal ssds have a translation layer between, these dont have that and rely on the cpu for wear leveling and fancy stuff like that
vagrant pagoda
Yeah but then how is it different than fusion io
astral haven
its 10 years later for 1
vagrant pagoda
Yeah but nand hasn't changed much just more bits per cell
astral haven
and its meant for storage not caching for 2
astral haven
i dont have the time to recite my conversation with one of fusionio's largest customers
vagrant pagoda
Now it was so expensive the common use was read/write cachig for databases
astral haven
the tldr is that fusionio is for caching
nowdays you would call it a higher tier of storage not specifically a cache, but in simple terms its a cache

Best aptx most of the time is still aptx ll
astral haven
🤷 its fine
thick elk
Personally I wopuld not really go for a neckadapter in general, at that point you might as well use a separate adapter and a cable
astral haven
neck is slightly more ergonomic than that esp for working out
thick elk
Maybe but tws adapters also exist and are better when working out
It's kind of a bad compromise imo
but that may just be me
astral haven
tws adapters are rather jank still for the moment
thick elk
I have not had much trouble with mine apart from volume control only working on my phone.
on the current one
my previous one just broke because I was being an idiot
there volume control on other devices also worked fine
astral haven
🤷 the neckband has no extra parts to lose
and you can fit in quite strong hardware inside, where it gets very expensive for the adapters
regardless imma wait for reviews on the b3, or even wait for a dusk variant as im a basshead
vagrant pagoda
I mean I have custom molded tips and the fiio adapters and they stay on running
The only downside that I've ever had is I had to cut up the charging case on the inside to fit
astral haven
lose as in put half of it down and then the other half elsewhere
vagrant pagoda
Just crank it lol
I don't take them out unless they go in case so isn't a big deal
astral haven
fortunately these were two separate occasions, but one time they fell off the table and the case opened, and by the time i realized it was missing, the battery on the buds had died
fortunately it stayed together
another time it fell off the table and i noticed immediately, but the buds exploded out of the case and absolutely vanished, took me an hour to find both, one was easy but the other ended up on the other side of the room somehow and i was able to find it by sound
but if i had it fall off the table, explode to who knows where, and then i didnt notice it for long enough for the battery to run out id be screwed

yeah but still, the point of people wanting a2060ish gaming performance but also make use of 2080 blender is quite low I would wager

I wouldnt say that, hydrogen has the highest range
the problem is pressure
the standard hydrogen stations halve the range of the mirai

thats also an issue with electric cars and regular gas stations btw
and fleets absolutely should never consider hydrogen
if you are getting a bunch of vehicles, set it up for v2l and they will pay you to have the vehicles sit around
the seriously largest issue with hydrogen tho is that the tanks empty themselves in extremely short order

car talk reminds me catl should have sodium batteries ready this year but no news for the last few months hmmm
astral haven
sodium is kinda a bit sketch, lithium is definetly alot more pleasant of a chemical to react
ashen spindle
cmon you know is not raw sodium lmao
astral haven
i mean its using the bonds to hold and release energy
and sodium is the next best choice after lithium, but its not the best
you want one of these, as they are the most reactive, lithium is the least heavy one that we have the ability to contain
hydrogen leaks from everything
lithium doesnt
ashen spindle
yes I did study chemistry before I went into coding, I know elements
astral haven
sodium has a bunch of useless electrons that take too much energy to remove
10/11 are practically inaccessible
rather than 2/3
ashen spindle
obviously Li has a reason why its the most dominant tech used, but for mass scale and completely reducing bur risks its nice to have something NaCl based
at least I think what catl is working on is salt and not just sodium zink or w/e else is being worked on
ashen spindle
also much easier to get in bulk if the production works since we have a shit ton on Na on earth, make all of the americans into batteries
astral haven
yep
if we can make batteries out of sea salt and rust we win
ashen spindle
also would love having salt batteries and not Li because for our solar panel batteris we have to put them in the same room as the gas heating pipes
now I dont expect them to just randomly burn
but you know, I'll take some saltwater over a 0,x% chance
ashen spindle
well the difference is it can burn, if you get NaCl based stuff to burn color me impressed lol
astral haven
it wont be nacl
ashen spindle
I mean we have or rather had that as an option form something locally, unfortunately they went into insolvency
astral haven
what
are you talking about the molten salt batteries?
the ones that need to be like 200c before they function?
ashen spindle
nah
under the greenrock energy brand bluesky produced a NaCl battery that was based on the patents that I think aquion had before they went under
tbf I am still not 100% certain it ever worked but if it was a scam it was a very elaborate one lol
ashen spindle
from when is that though
since the greenrock website is not online anymore with the latest version lol
but likely not too far off still
astral haven
doesnt matter, ive got lithium tech from 10 years ago in mind
ashen spindle
would be too good to be true otherwise

also looks like 140 kilos for just over 2.5 kwh
ashen spindle
oh yeah its not for putting it into a car lel
but like for solar storage when the basement has more than enough space, wouldn't care if thats the only issue
astral haven
it could be ok for ultra long term depending on the self discharge rate?
but its nowhere near as efficient as lithium
you can get round trip ac dc ac efficiency with lithium over 90% back then
nowdays you should be able to hit 95
ashen spindle
I no longer think its something that will be amazing any time soon but still more of a thing than idk, carbon nanotube batteries that have been coming ever since they got discovered lol
astral haven
heck hydrogen is now up to 50% round trip
and can be stored for 6 months and rather efficiently expanded
mild dome
Were we to develop a room temperature super conductor I have heard that could be used for storage.
Some1 told me you could have an array of coils constantly passing energy to the next coil to store energy very efficiently. Never looked up to see if that design would be viable if we had the super conductor tho
ashen spindle
yeah long term H2 systems already exist, albeit with a abysmal efficiency, but you can have a house in the mountains here and be 24/7 self sufficent in the winter with it
but $$$$$
astral haven
Were we to develop a room temperature super conductor I have heard that could be...
yes but room temp superconductors are still science fiction
mild dome
Sad but true. So many new materials are being explored, but crushing hydrogen with pressure only seen in Jupiter's core might not make for a viable wire
Or twisting Graphene to a certain angle until it becomes a superconductor

Problem Graphene has right now is it's too expensive to make at scale. So for the time being companies would like to avoid it.

Yeah

Everyone I know who has recently got a high-end GPU upgrade is for rt
I mean it looks good
cursive summit
And doesn't work
vagrant pagoda
Yeah it dose lol
cursive summit
Have fun 30fps
vagrant pagoda
Maybe at 4k
But 1080 and 1440 rt is more than playable
And even with 4k lots of games don't have crazy rt loads
cursive summit
I'd only care for RT if I had to work with rendering and stuff
Other than that, it's a technology that is in its infancy for gamers
Good for marketing, that's about it
vagrant pagoda
Rt cores do nothing for non real time rendering
cursive summit
Indeed
vagrant pagoda
I mean a 3080 will play every major aaa rt game at 1440 fone
cursive summit
I know a guy who does fluid dynamics, he's excited to get an RTX card for his work
Real time fluid simulations sound fun
vagrant pagoda
Only 2077 path trace will drop it
Again
Rt cores do nothing for that
Both of those things are cuda accelerated
Though I believe you can use rt cores with optix for rendering, but you're still doing all the heavy lifting with cuda

At least it's something more than just pure slideshow

In a couple of 4070 reviews the 7900XT is getting surprisingly close to the 4080

wonder what the others are doing wrong/right to get this result
Bias
Nah, game setting differences?
RAM, system settings?
gusty kiln
Nah, game setting differences?
my best guess is probably more game samples
and other reviewers just happen to have games that favor amd more and the 7900XT averages higher
or maybe HWU still using old data and haven't retested the 7900XT with newer drivers

Good day, @astral haven? https://www.ecoustics.com/news/mqa-bankruptcy/
astral haven
Lol neat
astral haven
They were outright lying about it being lossless
Then when an artist did a null test with one of their songs that got mqa mastered and made a video about it, they bssed a bunch about it
The tech was fine tbh
But the people involved lied too much
wheat plume

4070 fan looks like it was Photoshopped lol
misty saffron
this, basically a requirement for them, now that they have lossless tracks on apple music
was pretty smart of them to ask to “upload only IN HIGH QUALITY”, now basically everything is lossless in the library
astral haven
Yeah it's such a shame apple is the spearhead of anticonsumerism, wish i could use their stuff
fickle ore
latent mural
dude the 4070 is actually good value
fickle ore
lol no
latent mural
it can match amd's 6000 series flagship
6900xt
and its 300$ cheaper
it outperforms like $650 6800XT by 5% for only $600
for nvidia this is good value
how do i get my keys to sound like this normally
if anyone wants to know its gateron SMD blacks on a pillow
fickle ore
it can match amd's 6000 series flagship
At 1080p? Who cares. If you haven't noticed we get "Dynamic Frequency and Resolution (DFR) – choose between resolution or refresh rate!" starting next year so most will opt for 4k 240hz panels that can be switched to 1080p 480hz+ for esports but still enjoy 4k content.
All crappy/low VRAM cards are dead end
latent mural
that wasnt my point
ashen spindle
and its 300$ cheaper
what, you realize the 6950xt is down in price since launch lol
latent mural
i said its good value for nvidia im not trying to get into an argument
fickle ore
i said its good value for nvidia im not trying to get into an argument
its bad value
ashen spindle
in fact the 6900xt basically costs the same, its not 300$ cheaper lol
fickle ore
its losing to 6900xt ffs
Ye its ok for 1080p
but not rlly future proof with DFR in mind
astral haven
but not rlly future proof with DFR in mind
What
astral haven
Obviously I did
fickle ore
DFR is pog
fickle ore
Dynamic Frequency and Resolution
"One of the most interesting developments planned is the new “DFR” (Dynamic Frequency and Resolution) technology. This allows you to choose whether you want to prioritise resolution of refresh rate, giving great flexibility for different gaming scenarios and offering you the best of both worlds. The planned new 31.5″ 4K 240Hz panel will be the first to feature DFR.
For graphics focused games and for those who want to prioritise detail and resolution, you can run in the native 4K @ 240Hz mode, which is already very fast anyway. But there is also the option to switch to a 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080) and run the same panel at 480Hz instead! So for games focused on speed, frame rates and competitive Esports, this could be a really useful option"
astral haven
Yeah I can't find a single official statement about it
What is the tech actually doing
astral haven
My point exactly
astral haven
So basically it's random guesswork that would be neat to have
fickle ore
🤷
astral haven
QMS is neat
But it's an actual tech
And it's also terrible compared to proper vrr
But at least it switches resolutions too
ashen spindle
DFR is neat for the time where we dont have 4k 1khz screens so you can chose if you want more hz or more pixels
if I could limit my uwqhd to 1080p for 240hz in cs instead of the 175hz it has that would be nice
astral haven
Yes but is it a thing yet
astral haven
So it's probably not a thing yet
ashen spindle
oh yeah not already
The planned new 31.5″ 4K 240Hz panel will be the first to feature DFR.
q3 24 is the expected date for the panel
astral haven
I'm interested but :/
ashen spindle
yeah same, interested but I aint going to upgrade my screen unless it breaks and I return it for money lol
astral haven
I'm interested in a 3rd screen, not replacing the G8 neo any time soon esp with an OLED, but getting a beaut for secondary use could be awesome
And the secondary has discord or some other chat apps open constantly so no OLED there...
ashen spindle
meanwhile I need to make room for basestation since I do get a 3rd vr headset for work tomorrow lol
would be hard to cram a 3rd screen in as wlel for me
already dreading that the oculus software is just going to constantly break audio drivers for the others...

Yeah.... iPadOS is way better than Android on tablets
Though it still has the lack of features that iOS does
iPadOS is way better than Android at window management on tablets**
Fixed it for myself

I can't believe people are still using tizen
wheat plume
Using what?

iPadOS is way better than Android at window management on tablets**
That's also debatable

Dex >>>>>>>>>>> ipados
astral haven
Now sure it's not stock android, but it is android
astral haven
In touchscreen?
Yes
wheat plume
Hmmm...
astral haven
I use Dex purely via mouse in bed
The on screen keyboard is kinda pain but it would be a lot better via touchscreen
ooh i can wireless dex to my windows machine
Here is a demonstration of 3 things unavailable on ipados
Having 4 apps open, window snapping, and filesystem access
Here's another 2
Pinned apps and having more than 1 window open as in resizeable windows not just Fullscreen or half screen apps
Also app opacity tho it has limited use on a tablet
Lol
Yeah that doesn't cut it at work
astral haven
I wish we had documentation for some of this stuff 😦
wheat plume
Ooo
Beta stage
Fuck yeah
I'm looking forward for the Predictive Back feature
It's a way to make you see what going back will do before you carry out the full gesture
It currently works on Android 13 but only in like 3 apps
Settings is one of them
It shows you that you will be taken to the home screen if you go back on the main page in the settings app
And I can cancel going back if I want to
empty wren
I'm looking forward for the Predictive Back feature
Already have it
wheat plume
Here's a good demonstration of it
https://youtube.com/shorts/7lF9a25UrTY
wheat plume
Already have it
Wat
Only in 3 apps or so
wheat plume
Yes
But it's only 3 apps that support it
empty wren
Is that gonna change in 14 or something
wheat plume
Yes
It's going to be part of the OS instead of per app API
wheat plume
The app no longer needs to implement it
It's done by the system
It doesn't do much on 12 and 13 xd
But it's neat to get a barebones look at it
I hate how unsymmetrical the status bar is due to the notch being on the left....

More of a hole

The Blackhole Notch
My current phone has the same type but in the center of the status bar

I just wish Material You theming didn't change the background color to a tinted version of the accent color
I want black background ....
empty wren
I just wish Material You theming didn't change the background color to a tinted ...
Material you is ugly
It is pastel
And grey
No black
Like come.on
Ain't difficult

Oh

Yes that's better

I want Material You + black background
Like aniyomi
It follows material You accent colors but black background

I'm ok with the navbar being tinted

Why does it disallow sliding
wheat plume
I like seeing the bar
wheat plume
Why does it disallow sliding
It also removes the down arrow to close the keyboard when it's open

I had on my previous phone
Though I did have to use a Magisk module to get the bar invisible
Even Telegram follows Material You theming now
empty wren

Discord... Please get a themed icon .-.
final flame
I mean the top option makes no sense to me
I use it :(
empty wren
You have no swiping back and forth
Because if you still do it is not the same
In my case stock firmware make bar disappear and now I got to draw an arc to swap apps
final flame
you slide up on the different areas of the bottom area of the display to do different functions
empty wren
I do not have that

so for example slide up in the middle it's the home button

Yeah sadly that sounds like some kind of other room thing

the pen was pretty cool, but the phone sucked
Bro what
Why would you use the phone
You chuck it
Obviously notes are bought for their pen
Samsung could charge $1000
Just for the pin
And people would buy that without the phone
That sounds interesting
I do not know mans
Dat dimensity 9000 sounds great
Just sad bands from US are not supported
ISP on it sucks though
Dimensity 9000 is pretty good for high end
Otherwise locke go midrange
I swear helios
Or 700 series is good enough
wheat plume
Snapdragon 636 was fast enough for me too on my older phone xd
empty wren
Dimensity 9000 is pretty good for high end
Better than snapdragon and if it can be cooled well it can run higher frames

Even for some games
