[wheat plume]

not really cause thats the app icon for Konsole

[ashen spindle]

ok but uh, that doesnt change that for me it still fits lol

[reef patrol]

Time to override the icon?

[final flame]

Is there really anything stopping you from modifying the icon pack?

[wheat plume]

it is also not outline is OTHER icon packs though

its like its hardcoded to only be solid

[final flame]

If it can be changed by other icon packs then it's possible to change it

[wheat plume]

Big Sur icon pack

[final flame]

Icons aren't magic they're just either ico files or svgs

[wheat plume]

Tela icon pack

oo, I like this pack

so pretty

🤔 why does ani-cli show up for Cyberpunk? xd

and powerlevel10k...

[crimson wigeon]

Probably matches content

[wheat plume]

yeah but idk why xd

[ashen spindle]

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/25595 oh not a bad idea putting a clear type fix as suggestion to the powertoys git

would be neat

Apple Hub (@theapplehub)

Apple will finally allow for sideloading apps in iOS 17 to comply with EU regulations

This would allow users to download apps outside of the App Store and allow developers to avoid the 15% to 30% fees

[true quest]

lol

lmao even

[reef patrol]

[gusty kiln]

Epic

[empty wren]

Apple will probably make it convoluted to do so

[final flame]

Gotta sideload their side loading application that allows you to sideload

[empty wren]

Yes

Anyway apple already allowed people to do so anyways they just need a developer account

[ashen spindle]

lol

that is nowhere near the same thing

[true quest]

doubt that is within regulations

[ashen spindle]

conveniently leaving out you still need a mac for that xd

or some mega convolutated way that people found to trick around it

[empty wren]

Not surprising at all

[final flame]

All I want is macOS on ipad

[empty wren]

Use sidecar

[final flame]

Doesn't that require a Mac lol

[empty wren]

Yes

It just mirrors the display

[final flame]

I just want macOS to run semi natively on ipad, kinda like bootcamp for macOS

[empty wren]

It can probably in a hacky way

Anybody remember the Android emulator case for ios

I imagine something like that in hackintosh form would likely be the best possibility, since as of right now apple considers ipad and Mac different

[final flame]

Despite ipads being fully capable of running MacOS natively now

[empty wren]

Yeah m1 chip and thunderbolt really seem odd on a tablet os

[final flame]

And since it's a tablet there really isn't a good amount of software able to make use of the hardware given

[empty wren]

Well Photoshop probably exists now

And maybe audio stuff

[final flame]

It's extremely stripped down

[empty wren]

But probably about ends there

[empty wren]

Weird, I thought they promised the fat version of Photoshop

[final flame]

The only application I have that is able to make use of it is Affinity Photo which is more feature rich than the iPad version of photoshop

[empty wren]

Ironic

[final flame]

It's almost as feature rich as the desktop version of Photoshop

[empty wren]

Yeah but the workflow stinks

[final flame]

Yea

[empty wren]

Maybe affinity photo2 fixes that no idea

[final flame]

Transferring files is a pain

[final flame]

Nah, you're able to import psds tho but it's not perfect

Apple being apple it's a pain to transfer any kind of file

[empty wren]

That I am not surprised

[final flame]

I just use kde connect to transfer stuff

[empty wren]

But affinity behaves quite different

Least the first one does

[final flame]

Affinity photo for ipad is quite similar to Photoshop on desktop, it didn't take me that long to get used to it

[empty wren]

Well the stuff looks the same

But the behavior of some tools felt off to me

[final flame]

The only quirk it really has is it doesn't save tool settings for whatever reasons

It has full keyboard support tho so you could have a full editing setup with it with shortcuts

It also supports display calibration files

[empty wren]

That last part sounds quite nice

[final flame]

Not too useful on the highest end ipads but it is a nice to have

Apple generally has everything perfectly color correct out of the box

[empty wren]

Oh

[final flame]

Though displays can lean out of calibration over time

Not too sure how much that applies to micro led tho

I also haven't mentioned affinity photo is only 20$ for a one time payment

[empty wren]

On ipad os

Which honestly for what you mentioned is not bad

Some people might only have an ipad

[wheat plume]

nice coq bruh

[scenic kiln]

anyone know why text in some of my software looks so bad, after a bit it comes back to full quality then goes bad to terrible quality text

only really happens with software like wootility, nzxt cam, gpu-z stuff like that

here is an example of how bad it gets lol, to the point of it cutting off letters sometimes

[final flame]

Looks like a windows scaling issue

Actually what is your monitor setup like?

[scenic kiln]

27inch curved 1440p

[final flame]

Are you connecting to it wirelessly?

[scenic kiln]

no

[final flame]

First try updating your GPU drivers and see it that fixes it

[scenic kiln]

already updates to the latest

ive heard the windows scaling thing before, at first i thought it was a psu issue or something but didnt seem to be the case

[final flame]

The issue is windows scaling is a consistent issue

[scenic kiln]

so either deal with it or make windows look terrible?

[final flame]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-0d08-12b0-960b99aa347d#:~:text=Select Display > Change the size,the slider for each monitor.&text=Right-click the application%2C select,high DPI settings check box.

This one specifically

If you want to test it

[scenic kiln]

i dont see exactly this, but i tried "use this setting to fix scaling issues" and didnt work. i probably should have restarted pc

[final flame]

this is what you want to have checked

[scenic kiln]

and have it set to application? it still looks bad, i restarted the program as well

[final flame]

hmm

what is the exact monitor name

[scenic kiln]

viotek gn27db

[final flame]

do you have any other monitor to test this on?

even a tv would work

just to check if it's the monitor that's causing it

[scenic kiln]

yeah i can

[wheat plume]

is it bad I cant see ANY difference with how these previews look?

[ashen spindle]

hard to say without knowing wtf that even is

[wheat plume]

Font hinting

[ashen spindle]

does it take infos from the font, do you use a custom font that doesnt change anything, is it something not visible till you use it etc.

font might not work with it

[wheat plume]

ooh

[scenic kiln]

same issue on other monitor

and its like a 1080p 22 inch or something like that

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle https://www.ft.com/content/fbb800a9-5c6e-4781-943b-a6235f4149c9 not bad

[ashen spindle]

ehhh

its a bit of a mess still

but the idea is nice

mostly

biggest issue for now is that it applies to everything, even if its something like an older house that basically cant to heatpumps due to inefficencies or building size etc.

and not just for new buildings

[fickle ore]

Yeah, using gas and gas stoves reminds me of the 90's when I was visiting our grandparents summer cottage on an island, and they had bought them in the 80's

Lol

[ashen spindle]

like the idea is nice but if someone could just afford to own an apparment and you now tell them if the heating breaks make sure to also ahve another 50 grand for renovations or your heating wont be enough due to old walls lol

[fickle ore]

could always energy-reno old houses for heatpumps to work ig

[ashen spindle]

yes but that still costs money lol

[fickle ore]

Well isnt that whats happening in EU? they did some new law that all old houses in G energy grade need to reno

I cant remember xD

those combined is quite nice, probably intended to go hand in hand

[ashen spindle]

well sorta, but still this (at least the first revision, got a bit changed already) left too many cases open where it was just too much for certain people to afford or so

[fickle ore]

Maybe, but they had 20+ years and didn't care to reno

could have saved

[ashen spindle]

you say that but what if someone bought an appartment 2 years ago

they get shafted

[fickle ore]

Now who (young) buys an apartment in EU that is THAT old in the last 2 years? I'm sure they exist but I can't picture who does that

[astral haven]

Under advanced system settings, disable smooth edges of screen fonts i think it's called? then hit apply
Then enable it, apply, and restart the computer

[ashen spindle]

people who want to own their place but dont earn enough to ever dream of owning something more in the city they want to live in?

idk not like we have 5 million houses that nobody wants, we are lacking living areas lol

so its not like you can just chose what you want

[scenic kiln]

this the right place?

[astral haven]

Yee

[fickle ore]

It's very expensive to live in non insulated places and ppl know that in here, prob due to cold winters. Could be a germany thing

[scenic kiln]

ok imma restart and let u know in like 2 mins

[ashen spindle]

I mean you can have a place that is not too badly insulated but still not good enough to work with a heat pup efficently

especially if you dont have underfloor heating

tf kinda insulation are they selling you over there

[scenic kiln]

@astral haven nope still no luck

its only with like certain software, if it bothers me enough ill go harass the ppl who get paid to help over at nzxt

[fickle ore]

Gotta have negative pressure inside

[ashen spindle]

that's just if you have heavy insulation and then bad airflow

thats why windows for passive houses have opening to let air flow

[fickle ore]

wdym with the heat pump not being sufficient? Like the house stays too cold?

[ashen spindle]

no i said efficent not sufficent

if you have to run it so high that you have a 1:1 instead of 1:4 energy to heating conversion its not great anymore lol

[fickle ore]

Heh ig

[fickle ore]

We don't have slits in the windows hehe. But I keep the ventilation at 3. 5 is max

And after shower/sauna I put it on "drying" setting that's basically 5 and higher neg. pressure afaik

[ashen spindle]

well there are multiple ways also are you living in a passive house?

[fickle ore]

for 1.5 hours

[fickle ore]

Na not really

[ashen spindle]

then its not needed lol

[fickle ore]

Tbh I dont even know the definition, wanna help?

[ashen spindle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house

[astral haven]

It's pretty rare tho that the entire day you are below what is it -20c?

[ashen spindle]

basically very low energy usage by heavy insulation and all

[ashen spindle]

well yeah but having a system that cost you 50k to then never run even on it compare to gas and have it cost a lot is just wasting energy

[fickle ore]

Iirc for -20 degrees you're better off with water/air heat pump

[final flame]

hmm I'm not sure now, if you have integrated graphics on your cpu try that

[fickle ore]

or even ground

[final flame]

if using integrated graphics helps then it's a gpu issue

[ashen spindle]

depends, point was if you dont own a new house it can be quite bad and not financially or economically sane to replace it with current options

[final flame]

if not it's a windows issue

[fickle ore]

I'd have to measure those to know for sure

annoying

[ashen spindle]

unless your place is really knew and you actually have slits in windows to keep air flow a thing it's not meeting the parameters lol

[fickle ore]

But yeah I'm 99% sure iti snt

Interesting concept nevetheless

[ashen spindle]

the issue is just mainly that we are in the russia situation after 16 years of government led by conservatives that are paid by coal and such

[astral haven]

That's the break even point, below that you gain more by just burning the fuel than sticking it into a generator to run a heat pump

[ashen spindle]

so any change is just long overdue and has issues either way because we just wasted years

[fickle ore]

ah

[astral haven]

And it's moving down every year for new equipment

Sota is below -40

[fickle ore]

I need to reno my fireplace since it leaks smells, someone did a pisspoor job on the front cover

[fickle ore]

Sota?

[astral haven]

State of the art

[fickle ore]

-40 is impressive

[ashen spindle]

it also depends on the flow temperature you need

[fickle ore]

get on it!

[ashen spindle]

you want around 50C but if you have an older house you might need to run 75 and that just tanks efficency if the pump can even do enough

and like, what if you got a new gas heating lets say 4 years ago and it breaks in 2, should you really have to redo the entire system with pipes and all if needed just because at that time you couldnt afford heat pumps

just too many issues especialyl for cases where people cant afford a full renovation to get it to top notch standard

not to mention the waiting times on the things currently lol

[astral haven]

Yeah there's a big advantage here in the us where literally everyone has ac
Retrofitting to be a heat pump is alot cheaper

[fickle ore]

ugh heat pump is like 2k and free installation

or was

why is it expensive over there?

[ashen spindle]

we also are years behind in solar and it would make it a lot better if you could cover the cost in sprintg/autumn much easier when you can have heating powered by solar

so you only need to buy power when its really cold and not sunny

would not fully cover it but make it a lot easier to pay for

[astral haven]

It highly depends on your house and what type of system you have and are planning on getting

[ashen spindle]

yea

the issue basically breaks down to the fact we could already be out of coal and nuclear entirely and also have solar on 10x as many houses, but we didnt and now we are running against a clock

[fickle ore]

Btw offtopic but interesting. TLDR basically caloric deficit to slow down transcription
https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/04/20/german-scientists-make-a-major-discovery-that-could-slow-down-the-ageing-process

[ashen spindle]

we could have local solar panel being made, local energy tech that would be better, cheap renewable energy and better heating than we now have in 3 years

[fickle ore]

It'll be nice to follow the development from the sidelines in what direction will the German go for

The next few years will be rocky

[astral haven]

Meanwhile I'm here powering my networking equipment from a battery and recharging that battery and it has a round trip efficiency of under 90% because I'm overloading a circuit from power spikes

[ashen spindle]

2004 we had a plan to build 7500km for power lines

18 years later <10% was built

[fickle ore]

pathetic amount

[ashen spindle]

yup

we have bavaria which is like the german version of texas

except they dont have their own powergrid and dont contribute what they could or need to

imagine we had put all the money we used to keep coal alive into your beloved hydrogen research and had already more options for that xd

I just get tilted thinking about it every time because its so obvious and not just hindsight lol

[mild dome]

After Chernobyl Germany shut down many perfectly fine nuclear reactors didn't it?

[ashen spindle]

yes we are now completely 0% nuclear since last sunday

thats not an issue though

the issue is we kept coal alive instead of also shutting that down

[potent wigeon]

guys

anyone know what kind of red switch im using?

i tried to find what kind of red switch im using

but i couldnt find anything

anyone know?

[cursive summit]

Quick image search

https://www.amazon.com/Kingjinglo-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tactile-Switches/dp/B094Z8YPF3

These look similar

It seems that Outemu Red is somewhat of a real switch brand

So.. maybe that

Some kind of chinese cherry copy basically

If you are 100% sure that those are good switches

https://www.theremingoat.com/blog/varmilo-ec-v2-switch-review

Could be these

[old marlin]

big doubt

also why would "good switches" equate to those

[severe phoenix]

I mean, Monoprice had those 24$ shipped MKs with Outemu Reds in them

[old marlin]

and?

[severe phoenix]

Good starter keeb for someone working on an EXTREME budget

[old marlin]

only varmilo has used varmilo EC switches so far

[potent wigeon]

omagot

ty for help me

[cursive summit]

Varmilo is a good brand

[old marlin]

also "some chinese cherry copy"

which reaches from like gateron

to random ass manus you never heard of

[potent wigeon]

this one and cherry mx red which one is better guys?

[cursive summit]

Cherry mx?

The original is nearly always the better option

[old marlin]

those outemus are like the cheapest switches on the market

[old marlin]

[cursive summit]

Nearly

[old marlin]

don't just buy cherry because they are the "original"

[cursive summit]

Wording, yamato

Cherry will still outdo budget switches

[old marlin]

yes doesn't work for switches like that

just buy gateron yellows

or like

any gateron pro

really

cheaper than cherry

[severe phoenix]

Gats are worse than Cherries, the real news this sub doesn't want to hear

😛

[old marlin]

MCUH better ootb

[old marlin]

cherries need modding

mechkeys would agree

[severe phoenix]

Best OoT box switches are Kalih

Everyone forgetting about Kalih

[old marlin]

for good reason

[severe phoenix]

Never need to be lubed or oiled or anything.

😛

[old marlin]

neither do gat pros

kailh box just can't get lubed

[severe phoenix]

Gat Pro Lekker wen

[potent wigeon]

can you guys give me some suggestion of good custom switch?

[old marlin]

gateron pro

decent switches

don't need any modding

[severe phoenix]

Kalih Box Black are great

I recommend

[old marlin]

immediately going for the heaviest one they have

smart move

[potent wigeon]

for osu 💀

[old marlin]

wooting uwu

[severe phoenix]

It's good for when you have heavy fingers. Also you talk about heavy when the Wooting uses the same force 😛

60g accutation, same as Wooting

[old marlin]

they don't

box blacks are 70g bottom out

[potent wigeon]

wait what , Is it already in business?

[old marlin]

nope

idk, really depends on your preference

[severe phoenix]

to bottom out aye, and not bottoming out can really help your fatigue

[old marlin]

most osu people want really low weight linears

something like gateron clears

[potent wigeon]

hm

[old marlin]

not if you use the same force

[severe phoenix]

Some of us have lead in our fingers alright

[old marlin]

I have large hands

I use light springs

with no problems

just use a longer spring

[severe phoenix]

lol

[potent wigeon]

does wooting use tactile switch or linear switch guys?

[wheat plume]

got to love the weebness that is TechSpurt :')

[severe phoenix]

Damn, I don't know that anime. I'm getting old

i dont either xd

LTT: There was no accidental left clicks on the touchpad while resting my hands on the palmrest
TechSpurt: When I have the laptop in my lap and im resting my hands on the palm rest, the touchpad likes to left click like crazy

🤔

my laptop also does that ;-; and its a very similar chassis design, i think its just a side effect of being so thin

[severe phoenix]

Well put on some weight then

[wheat plume]

yeah, lapto

gain weight

[reef patrol]

Could be a defect.

[wheat plume]

dont want you to snap while I lift you up by the corner

now Windows tells you when you have 0 notifications

wtf why

[reef patrol]

Doesn't here. But I DID admittedly remove it altogether 😄

oof

wait, remove what?

the notification system?!?

[severe phoenix]

Yeah it's an annoying system

yeah it sucks

[floral meteor]

I mean there are ways to hide them in plain sight although it's more expensive and they're not as effective as if they're out in the open

[ashen spindle]

I mean I don’t think you need input from the community

If it was new maybe, or if it was a massive pole vs some old thin wire

But this was an existing 3g pole getting an upgrade

Basically the same thing

I'd hope that's the same everywhere

[severe phoenix]

Kazaa

[cursive summit]

Office 365? Why that

[fickle ore]

What else

[cursive summit]

Isn't office 365 a subscription of sorts

Just.. download the 2021 office pack and KMS it

[severe phoenix]

Try Bearshare

[pale sigil]

Or limewire

[fickle ore]

wat

I need word and excel

[reef patrol]

Those uh... are part of the base Office package.

[pale sigil]

Office online

I still leach my sisters uni license somehow

It's never expired lol

[fickle ore]

I know. It's not free.

[reef patrol]

Correct 😄

[fickle ore]

Office 2021 has no feature updates

[final flame]

Do you really need office, there are pretty good alternatives already

There's the libre suite and the Google suite

If you're going to college most colleges provide office for free

[reef patrol]

Here's it's the opposite. You pay for office. You get windows for free 😄

Gotta fork up for that 365 family plan

[fickle ore]

I really REALLY need office. 😛

Guess there aren't any discounts or workarounds on the pc to activate it after it disactivates lol

[reef patrol]

cough

[fickle ore]

hey its no piracy!

[astral haven]

you can just use office online

file management is a pain, but its worth imo

[cursive summit]

Try this @fickle ore

Free 365, presumably

[fickle ore]

ty

[cursive summit]

Tbf

Idk what E5 is

[astral haven]

at my work we use e3 and it has everything we need

e2 is pretty barebones but we get it for free

[cursive summit]

So it's just release versions?

[astral haven]

no

tiers

[cursive summit]

Would E5 be the highest or something?

[astral haven]

think they have higher?

[cursive summit]

Seems E5 is as good as it gets for enterprise

Wtf is this

Miracast or something?

[astral haven]

that powerbi?

[cursive summit]

I don't know what's that honestly

[astral haven]

ye

[cursive summit]

Is that in any way related to powershell?

[astral haven]

its uh something my boss is interested in

statistics and graphs i think?

[ashen spindle]

sounds like your boss is a big nerd

[fickle ore]

probs just business guy

Lol

[astral haven]

nah hes a database geek

hes been solo maintaining the company sql database for 10 years

yea its a statistics thing

[cursive summit]

These confuse the hell out of me

Why not just make it look different

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean it's just ordered largest to smallest each time period, then color coded by item

[cursive summit]

You can show the same with a simple line graph

Why ribbons

[vagrant pagoda]

It's a line graph with no x

Lol

Only one real axis

[astral haven]

this shows trends of different manufacturers significantly more easily

[ashen spindle]

you can replace any graph with a table, so why use graphs at all

different ways to shwo stuff more easily

[astral haven]

because human brains dont process raw data well

[ashen spindle]

yup

[grand cloud]

what mouse are you pairing with 60he? I had GPX but plastic connecting side buttons broke which resulted in a side button falling inside the mouse lol so looking for some alternative non logitech mice

[reef patrol]

Quite fond of my Superlight.

[grand cloud]

quite curious if side buttons are any better in the most recent GPX batches, they weren't the best of quality

if there was a wooting mouse it'd be an instant buy 😂

[boreal horizon]

I'll never go back to a wired one, so Razer Viper V2 Pro, but if you've got bigger hands, a DAV3 is probably nicer feeling

[grand cloud]

I had V2 Pro and shape felt worse than GPX to me so don't know how DAV3 would feel

[astral haven]

plus ofc razer

[grand cloud]

Never heard of that mouse before

[boreal horizon]

Usually people prefer the DAV3 over the V2 Pro because its better for most hands

[astral haven]

its an awesome mouse, tho no side buttons

[boreal horizon]

But if you've got small hands, like 17cm and smaller, the V2 Pro feels nice imo

[grand cloud]

Oh that sucks then because I use side buttons 😂

[grand cloud]

I have like 19.5cm hands and V2 Pro didn't feel nice when I tried it

[boreal horizon]

Yeah, you should have checked out the DAV3 with your hands!

No guarantee you would like it, but its definitely more in that direction

[grand cloud]

That's currently my first thought DAV3 or viper mini wireless if it comes out

[boreal horizon]

If you check out the rtings reviwe: https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/razer/deathadder-v3-pro with your hand size, youre in the green space for all grips

with the larger hump it's usually nicer for bigger hands (depending on your grip ofc). If you can check it out, I would give it a try

[grand cloud]

I'll check it out and return if I don't like it like I did with V2 Pro

V2 Pro felt much better than GPX sensor wise and quality wise was just annoying a bit couldn't find a grip for it

[boreal horizon]

Wireless technology wise Razer is currently top notch

You can even go to 4k hz with their extra dongle, if you really want to

[grand cloud]

Yeah I could feel the difference first time I tried it felt much more responsive and smooth compared to superlight

[boreal horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjXeq5pHwGs

but the most important part is always the shape!

[gusty kiln]

DAV3 is on sale on Bestbuy

white version is 120 atm

[tribal dirge]

Indeed, superlight is the most comfortable for me,

MX master 3 being the runner up to the superlight.

[gusty kiln]

MX master is a nice productivity mouse

[reef patrol]

So heavy though.

[gusty kiln]

yeah

[reef patrol]

GF has the 2nd version. Never could learn to like it.

[gusty kiln]

the Model I wireless from glorious seem like a nice alternative

ok

this thing is sweet

96 core ARM cpu

[ashen spindle]

that means nothing

which arm cores

96 core arm says about as much as 4 core intel

[astral haven]

it will eventually

but only when m# is fully stable

[tardy echo]

mac lmfao

Apple computers at all Lmfao

[astral haven]

yea well
macos only professional software exists

[tardy echo]

yeah I only ever see alot of jobs

Like my@job

[astral haven]

yep and my job needs just the most basic mac because you gotta have a mac to run apples iphone/ipad configurator

but some apps actually need horsepower

and?

i suspect they will make something where you just slot in more mwhatever max processors on subboards

actually yea they will have pcie slots but they will be locked off from using graphics cards or something

if you want to get more graphics power you gotta buy the apple ™️ m8 ™️ max processor expansion board

[crisp granite]

expense it for your business

apple knows

if you need their shit, you'll pay for it

[astral haven]

yes

[tribal dirge]

Hence why I buy macs.

[tribal dirge]

Bring back the hackintosh.

[wheat plume]

I don't think that's possible anymore :/

[final flame]

Waiting on someone to actually make a arm cpu comparable to apple silicon

[tribal dirge]

I think someone already made an ARM hackintosh.

[astral haven]

still angers me that our ancient mac mini 2014 performs better than the 2020 m1 with only a storage upgrade (and that storage upgrade was a to be disposed ssd from a to be disposed laptop)

[tribal dirge]

It already exists in the enterprise world, just not in consumer electronics.

[astral haven]

nope

theres nothing with anywhere near as much acceleration onboard

[tribal dirge]

Bro, some supercomputers are arm based lmao.

[astral haven]

but thats not comparable

they are orders of magnitude faster at what they are good at
and slower at editing prores

[tribal dirge]

Ok true, that 16 core accelerator does do a lot of heavy lifting.

[astral haven]

16 core?

im talking about the ffus

contained within the npu and gpu technically

[tribal dirge]

Ohhhh

[astral haven]

the html, jpeg and prores engines are the impressive ones

[tribal dirge]

Well the M1 does have a built in accelerator.

[tribal dirge]

Yeah, the dedicated rendering engines.

[astral haven]

yea thats the npu

the 16 core think you are talking about

[tribal dirge]

That’s the accelerator

[astral haven]

its hella weak, but its integrated

[astral haven]

1 of many

[tribal dirge]

It kinda is.

But it works. And it works really well at what it does, accelerate processes.

[astral haven]

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16226/M1_575px.png

[patent lark]

The m2s is coming out later this year, but $700 USD 😬

[astral haven]

each part individually gets slaughtered by competitors, but the only cpu with anywhere near as much onboard acceleration are the xr2 chips

[tribal dirge]

Kinda like with my deepl pc and the google coral. Sure the google coral isn’t powerful, but when I have it plugged in it can speed up processes by 20-30 percent.

[astral haven]

well for arm

ice lake embarasses m1 in terms of number of accelerators

[tribal dirge]

But apple has the upper hand in software. Because they can make things curated for their chips.

[tribal dirge]

And optimize every aspect of their software

[astral haven]

the reasoning is a bit wrong but close enough

apple has the upper hand in software because they prevent stuff they dont want to support from running

[tribal dirge]

Killed off 32 bit apps. Lol

[astral haven]

more importantly pcie

apple decided that m1 wouldnt support gpus and that saves a ton of engineering

[tribal dirge]

Don’t they use thunderbolt now?

[tribal dirge]

Well, do they have a reason to though?

[astral haven]

sure but they blacklisted gpus in general=

plug in a thunderbolt gpu into m1 and nothing

[queen gulch]

probably a stupid question, but is it possible to have multiple rgb layers? i can add them on my HE but it doesnt change anything. I want effects but also a fully backlit kb

[reef patrol]

Each layer can have static colours OR an rgb fx. You can't stack effects on each of each other though.

[tribal dirge]

And yet they pour those engineering resources into creating a custom interface and protocol to Mash 2 m1 maxes together to form M1 ultra

[astral haven]

nope

they paid tsmc to do it

actually tsmc already had it

[tribal dirge]

Oh yeah, their scalable arm process

[queen gulch]

thanks i'll give it a try

[tribal dirge]

I honestly want to buy an FPGA to mock an apple silicon chip to make a hackintosh.

[astral haven]

not sure what you mean by that

https://www.semianalysis.com/p/advanced-packaging-part-2-review
but yea tsmc and intel have some insane tech to glue stuff together

however apple was literally copying intel who was copying ibm

[queen gulch]

okay i can't get the rbg to do what i want...

[astral haven]

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14182/D3Qk3-xW4AAfqF__575px.jpg

[reef patrol]

You MIGHT be able to - If you use third party apps like Artemis to control the RGB from the PC

[boreal horizon]

Don't they also poach the top tier experts in these fields from each other every couple of years?

[astral haven]

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14182/5-Xeon Scalable 9200_Kartik Ananth-page-007_575px.jpg

[queen gulch]

yeah but why would it not be possible to combine full backlight with typing effects

[astral haven]

no?
they are leaving the physical interconnectivity basically entirely to tsmc

[reef patrol]

We like to focus on keyboard performance above all else.

[queen gulch]

fair enough

[astral haven]

they bought all the design engineers

[tribal dirge]

I think AMD does this too.

[astral haven]

amd does it differently

[latent mural]

which processor?

[astral haven]

they did use glue years back but now they have moved on to chiplet which is far superior

[tribal dirge]

I see

[astral haven]

this was m1 (og)

[tribal dirge]

Chiplets are better.

[boreal horizon]

I was thinking about general chip/processor development stuff, I guess. I thought I heard they switcheroo every couple of years

[astral haven]

And amds glue was based on pcie

Tsmc and Intel each made their own muuuuuch faster one

[tribal dirge]

I see

[tribal dirge]

Probably for obvious reasons

[astral haven]

Don't get me wrong awesome engineering
But it was designed to be cheap not fast

[tribal dirge]

Just makes the 2 packages communicate better.

[tribal dirge]

Lol,

[astral haven]

And was doing quad tho

[tribal dirge]

Quad packaged CPUs!!??

Lmao

[astral haven]

Yup

Worked fantastically for them

[tribal dirge]

Timing all 4 of them must be quite the challenge.

[tribal dirge]

[astral haven]

https://en.wikichip.org/w/images/thumb/3/39/AMD_Naples_SoC.svg/681px-AMD_Naples_SoC.svg.png

Genius thing is that with 2 chips you get triple the bandwidth between the sub chips and that ended up working actually quite well

[tribal dirge]

Indeed

[astral haven]

Unfortunately intels qat accelerator is sota vs amds complete lack of accelerator so amd gained nothing on the xeon d owned section of the market

https://www.servethehome.com/amd-epyc-3451-benchmarks-and-review/

[tribal dirge]

Epyc CPUs are pretty cool

Or just scalable CPUs in general

[astral haven]

Same exact chip here for networking as in their servers and desktops where Intel has generally 10 chips per generation

[wheat plume]

First time Apple announce they have easy to replace batteries

[reef patrol]

Depends on the model.

Some of them are a nightmare with the tape, others are super easy.

[ashen spindle]

this can be beat by a 16 cores amd cpu on desktop btw

[reef patrol]

Jesus christ those are terrifying. They doubled the cells.

Ehh... just more cells. The boards might be a challenge though if they have lockouts.

inb4 they salvage used batteries 😄

[wheat plume]

their logo is cool

but the name sounds like you are having a stroke

Yeyian

budget 500 dollar monitors

budget... how??

[astral haven]

depends on the specs

but they probably mean monitors for a $500 budget

[ashen spindle]

context matters

[wheat plume]

tbf, its a 21:9 VA 165Hz curved monitor

with uncertified HDR 400

and diffused RBG strips on the back

[astral haven]

eh va from not samsung is sketch

[wheat plume]

why the ASUS a lot more expensive?

[ashen spindle]

ask the vendor

[astral haven]

probably not on sale right now?

[wheat plume]

wait a sec

this is the same card??

[astral haven]

looks like it 🤷

[wheat plume]

then wtf

[astral haven]

im gonna suspect you arent looking at an actual retail vendor

some online aggregator with sellers or something

[ashen spindle]

could be something with local availability, could be wrong listing, could be something else, could be some promo stock

[wheat plume]

wrong reply message .-.

[wheat plume]

https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/search?query=rx 660

[astral haven]

is computer universe an actual retail shop?

[wheat plume]

no idea

first time ive heard of them

[astral haven]

seems sketch

[wheat plume]

my friend showed me an ssd he got from them

came with no retail box since its an OEM model

[astral haven]

🤷 the pricing seems relatively good but believable
but can you actually trust them?

[wheat plume]

im not sure, im looking into it

[ashen spindle]

the shop is decades old

thats no problem

[wheat plume]

ah!

[ashen spindle]

also if you compare the images it shows different listing infos

so its either not the same card or wrong listing

[thick elk]

Looking at dutch prices It does seem like asus is more expensive as well.
Cheapest sapphire pulse: 248,44, cheapest ASUS one 287,04
Cheapest rx 6600 (powercolor Fighter) € 219,-

[ashen spindle]

its all below launch msrp so market is wild based on stock and all anyway

[thick elk]

Usually when prices are in motions the differences get larger

[ashen spindle]

yup

some are giving more rebates, some are more in stock and need to be moved etc.

[thick elk]

xfx also tends to be doing well price wise in such cases

from my experience

Also funny that it includes the last of us part 1, a game that barely reaches 60 on 1080p high and doesn't even hit it at 1440p mdedium

I know it's not a deliberate choice and such but still

At least it's not included with the rtx 3070ti, that would be the ultimate troll

Oh that free Last of us part 1 is also here: https://www.megekko.nl/product/0/310723/Asus-Radeon-RX-6400-PH-RX6400-4G
Have fun looking at a slideshow

AMD game bundles on all rx 6000 gpu's at it's finest

[ashen spindle]

lol the 6400 is just such a bad dgpu

[thick elk]

Note that I picked one that included it, which also happens to be about the worst priced one

[ashen spindle]

at least one can argue it only exists because of covid because its clear it was made for laptops and not planned, so "only" marketing is at fault and it wasn engineered shit like a 1030 ddr or so

[gusty kiln]

Is the 6400 the lowest amd gpu that can be run on slot power only?

[astral haven]

define lowest lmao

[ashen spindle]

6500 needs more power so yes

in that generation

[astral haven]

it is the fastest

so far

[zealous lake]

Why are there dual fan 6400's

[astral haven]

its definetly not the lowest

[ashen spindle]

cheaper to reuse cooler and manufacturing lines for it

[zealous lake]

O I see

[thick elk]

Because the card is sold at a price that still allows it mostly and the market is small

my old 5770 also included a for the time decent cooler at a similar price (ignoring inflation)

[astral haven]

also if its a half height unit 1 fan may not be enough

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle

[ashen spindle]

idk not putting much faith into these words

they always gotta make it look like they wont make anything relevant outside of taiwan to keep gov happy and all

[astral haven]

and the us has a ton of subsidies for this stuff

[fickle ore]

But most of that will prob go to Intel instead

[solemn remnant]

Benedict Riverman

[astral haven]

while it may be 2x the price, it may be the same price

[astral haven]

lol no

[empty wren]

I will be honest

That kinda does make that card more worth it

RIP, I think the ram kit I bought is bad

BSOD several times now

[empty wren]

[gusty kiln]

no, at xmp

unless someone knows how to read event log codes

[misty saffron]

if you get bsods after swapping to a new ram kit you can be 99.9% certain its bad

kernel memory gets corrupted, shit dies

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is one of the very generic ones that says nothing

expect to see MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION and the like

I cleared cmos and lowered the xmp speed by 33 Mhz, going to give it a few days. If another bsod happened then it's return time.

[misty saffron]

try giving it more voltage, could help with stability

[ashen spindle]

did you check memory list to make sure the board supports that kit?

[gusty kiln]

Not officially supported

Is a very common ram kit though

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM (PC4-28800) DDR4 3600 CL16-19-19-39 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GVKC https://a.co/d/hfcOUXS

[ashen spindle]

in general it should work but if its not on the QVL list it's always a chance it just doesnt work because whateve reason

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

I might give it a tiny bit more voltage at xmp like hollow suggested

[gusty kiln]

Time to run memtest64

[gusty kiln]

So far it passed 1/4 runs

[ashen spindle]

ok something is broken on my pc, gotta do troubleshoot like daily now and its always fixed fast but still annoying, I basically never get it during gaming but mostly when I'm doing something in browser

@astral haven any clue what it could be

cable is fine and router works just fine, phone doesnt lose connection

[astral haven]

Reinstall drivers then networking reset

If that doesn't work time to read logs

[gusty kiln]

2/4 passed, call it quits for now and see if I BSOD during use

[ashen spindle]

think it would make sense to set it to 1gig maximum since I dont make use of 2.5 and that seems to help on intel controllers sometimes?

[astral haven]

probably

[ashen spindle]

alright time to see if it happens agian

[fair gull]

smh quin not knowing how to fix it himself

[ashen spindle]

I hate networking stuff with a passion

[misty tangle]

Anyone know why my profile thats saved to my keyboard defaults to typing profile when I unplug it is there anyway I can change that?

[ashen spindle]

it starts with the digital profile so you always start with a working profile

[fair gull]

i dont know why people dont modify the typing profile

and rename it

[misty tangle]

i'll just do that ig

[ashen spindle]

meanwhile this trash site implies the cpu is blowing up the pc lmfao

when its likely asus bios being fucked

[thick elk]

Asus has not been doing great on their am5 mobo's in general

Still not a common mistake for any mobo maker

[astral haven]

what happened to agesa lol

[shadow minnow]

As an electronic engineer, that chip is broken

[ashen spindle]

if agesa causing it how is it only on asus

so far all cases are asus

[astral haven]

thats what im saying

agesa is supposed to standardize all but the interface of the bios

what happened to that?

[ashen spindle]

ah

idk hard to speculate, could be them reading out values wrongly or so

[thick elk]

There are variations in frequency / power handling between mobo's, it could definitely be asus specific

[ashen spindle]

GN bought dead cpus and boards to figure out stuff so we should see at some point

[thick elk]

Possibly but gn's research could also be a dead end

[shadow minnow]

That looks like a current surge

[ashen spindle]

yeah but if they wont find it asus likely does, so the chance of us finding out the actual case is quite high

[thick elk]

Or giant voltage spike, but yea we will probably find out

it's not like keeping it under wraps if they find it does them any favors

[shadow minnow]

Certainly possible, but it would be for a longer time I think. And also would have to be yeah, really big voltage spike

[astral haven]

i mean v=ir

a current spike is also probably a voltage spike

[shadow minnow]

Indeed

[fair gull]

that must be a meme

not much more to say

there is no additional applying of it

[brisk geode]

is there a way for me to bind the touching effect of the f-keys only to stearing (which are in my case the A and D)? this would be super helpfull in games like trackmania

i mean the effect of the racing profile preset

[reef patrol]

You mean the analog controls?

[brisk geode]

yeah

[reef patrol]

You can drag around those keybinds to your hearts content.

[brisk geode]

but the f-key row lights up with every key i press -> it is always fully lit if i press the gas button. i want it to light the f-key row only when i press stearing

[severe phoenix]

You know when I first heard about the Analog keyboards

I had this entirely different picture in my head

Of the keys themselves moving around like tiny joysticks.

[reef patrol]

You're going to have to take a video clip of this. I don't think I quite understand.

[severe phoenix]

I was trying to figure out how the hell that'd work

lol

[brisk geode]

-> when pressing gas i dont get the visual que anymore

[frozen ingot]

unfortunately the touch rgb mode doesn't refresh for every new keypress, if one key is fully pressed its going to be fully lit regardless of any new input

might be something they could implement in a future firmware update

[reef patrol]

In the meantime AOE is probably the closest you'll get to the behaviour you want.

[brisk geode]

that would be a super helpfull update.

[frozen ingot]

I'd make a suggestion in #archived_feed_us_back

[brisk geode]

i will use that until then. thx a lot for the help

[brisk geode]

will do.

[frozen ingot]

skill issue

[cursive summit]

Idk when was the last time I charged my case

[wheat plume]

Im not used to needing to charge my fucking earbuds

ive been using wired ones for like 16 years xd

[cursive summit]

Wired audio 💪

[frozen ingot]

so have I

[cursive summit]

I feel sad most wired/wireless options suck

[modern crow]

I got my 535s but barely used them over the galaxy buds for some time now

[cursive summit]

They attempt to do both yet one or either come out shite

[modern crow]

though part of it is I keep losing my USB C to 3.5mm dongle

[frozen ingot]

at home I don't care but its kinda nice not having to deal with cables getting tangled or stuck in things on the go

[cursive summit]

BMW 535?

[modern crow]

shures

[wheat plume]

My issue is that phones are getting too large .-.

6 inch is best size

[cursive summit]

That is not what she said, at all

[cursive summit]

Cheap shite

[modern crow]

hey, i ain't losing my 1k plus shit outside

[frozen ingot]

phones that can't be used effectively with one hand is bad design to me

[wheat plume]

^

and curved sides.....fucvk that

flat screens FTW

[modern crow]

how bout the fold

[frozen ingot]

quite pleased with my linkbuds s so far, does what you expect

[modern crow]

first gen had these weird donuts

[modern crow]

yea now that was the one I was thinking of

[reef patrol]

Looks like rollerblades

[frozen ingot]

mine are the s version, more traditional design

really good anc too

[wheat plume]

The S models seem better anyway xd

no high res audio for the non S

[frozen ingot]

can pair with two devices simultaneously too

[wheat plume]

bung a charger in it's bottom, go for a shave or cry in the shower and when you get back itll be ready to go

[frozen ingot]

thing lasts a long time, can go for weeks without plugging in the case

[wheat plume]

[frozen ingot]

looks like copypasta of my old folks cat

[wheat plume]

I bet it was like 2.77$ and 20$ shipping

[frozen ingot]

somehow I already knew it was aliexpress before clicking

[cursive summit]

Real company though, apparently

And quite reputable

[vagrant pagoda]

nope

free shipping or 2.99

[cursive summit]

Weird

5$ cooler

That sounds like economics

[vagrant pagoda]

also ali gives out 4 off 6 and such all the time

so it could be a 6.77 cooler with 4 bucks off

[fair gull]

so any recommendations for an affordable hdmi/displayport kvm dual monitor

non thunderbolt

[tender minnow]

i still use em

[ashen spindle]

uh, I didnt say anything about wired vs wireless?

[boreal horizon]

oops, wrong reply

[cursive summit]

Wtf is a dual monitor

Do you just want 2 displays?

[boreal horizon]

I'd say wired ones are becoming the exception even. On my commutes they're definitely in the minority. There's some people that have over the ear headphones and they're mostly wired, but earbuds are becoming more and more wireless

[cursive summit]

And that's a problem, imo
