Linux was a thing back in 2003?
astral haven
🤣
cursive summit
I must be underestimating how old it is
reef patrol
cursive summit
Cause I sure don't think it was too relevant for most people back then
astral haven
linux was from just after the dos days
wheat plume
Linux was a thing back in 2003?
yes
astral haven
it was completely irrelevant for everyone outside of research and academia
crimson wigeon
Yeah PS2 Linux was a thing, just another trick by Sony to get it classed as a proper computer
astral haven
ps3 was more native tho
final flame
thick elk
Would be more fitting in memes but I actually did enjoy that one
reef patrol
Video flew over my head. I don't watch "facerolled my channel name on the keyboard"
thick elk
I also don't watch that guy, but found it funny enough on it's own
pale sigil
Just tried "gigabit" ethernet powerline adapters
Seem to cap out at 10mb/local and 92mbit speed test
Very Sus
gusty kiln
Yeah powerline kinda suck unless it's a clean run without any other devices
Like no other devices plugged in
pale sigil
My older ones work fine but cap out at 50mbit
My old old ones
When I could only ever dream of 50 down lol
I need them on a temporary basis
I think I'll just suck it up and go WiFi route for the month
gusty kiln
Why not mesh
pale sigil
Because it's temporary
I'm having a new isp connect the wiring to another room which I won't move into till next month 😅
So I need either powerline or WiFi till then
Hopefully I'll borrow a solid dongle from someone.
mild dome
Sounds like there is either a lot of noise, or the adapter is pushing the signal through different circuits.
Consider getting a power filter for your more expensive devices. It might save them
astral haven
i had old powerline networking that was literally only capable of running 50mbps
also if you have cable in the walls you can use moca
also expensive but works up to 2.5g speeds
severe phoenix
Anyone remember the Astrum?
Real shame that Kickstarter failed
I would've loved to have that printable swappable mouse shells like the G9x
Damn
Missed a good deal.
Nor I
severe phoenix
Check out the price though
Might change your mind
??? they're not awful HDDs lol, 8TB HDDS for free, buy a bunch for a NAS
Or resell em at like half off
I mean it's literally free, there's no reason not to
I mean you never know what pricing mistakes will be honored
Amazon honored those 10,000$ camera lenses for 100$
And those 6000$ TVs for like 200$
No reason not to shoot your shot
Yeah
Still
Yeah I got like a 10TB, a 12 TB, a 14TB and a 18TB. Prices have fallen so much
Sub 200$ 16TB+ drives is crazy
fair gull
still waiting for bigger and cheaper 2.5" drives
cursive summit
Lol, Tidal devs had a rough day
They snapped for the patchnotes
I love unhinged patchnotes
ashen spindle
unhinged is one thing, lashing out while admitting to incompetence is something else 
fair gull
that third one is concerning
cursive summit
that third one is concerning
Can you shed more light on that?
I have not seen an error like that in my experience
severe phoenix
They're saying an error happened that they don't understand
And it's their software
That's bad.
cursive summit
I mean, sure
I don't remember ever getting a "typeerror"
Anyone knows what language that would be, what's the compiler?
ashen spindle
doesnt even matter what it is, the error literally says what the issue is lol
like I never used a language where that could happen since c# and such are strongly typed languages, but it means they have an undefined variable that they try to access the state function/value of when it doesnt fit
severe phoenix
Lol you are going to be very disappointed
ashen spindle
what would be disappointing about it
severe phoenix
ergonomics are bad and it's not going to be anywhere near as powerful as some are speculating
Price is also going to disappoint
You'll see in a few weeks I guess
ashen spindle
I uh, dont think that will change how he thinks about the looks lol
it can look slick regardless of it the rest fits or not xd
cursive summit
Price is shaping to be good
The ergonomics do look worse than a Deck though
There is no touchscreen, right?
severe phoenix
Keep in mind there are two models
No touchscreen
No touchpads
No touch capacitive joysticks
cursive summit
So the extra weight, no touchpads, I also imagine no gyro either
ashen spindle
it has a freesync panel it's infinitely better than a steam deck in my eyes already
cursive summit
It will be worse, but it's still a far more powerful console
severe phoenix
lol
wheat plume
COSMIC Desktop is going to have a Night Light feature you can apply PER desktop
So if you have more than one display and for some reason do not want Night Light to apply to all of them, you dont have to.
severe phoenix
wheat plume
I cant think of a use case for th at
cursive summit
lol
I will have to disagree, my buddy bud
Ally looks like a proper good, powerful handheld
Sure, ergonomics and that
thick yew
switch but good?
cursive summit
But 720p is unacceptable
thick yew
severe phoenix
Ok ok, just wait :p
wheat plume
Ally is 1080p
ashen spindle
the resolution is better, the refresh rate is better/latency is lower and it wont have tearing/increased latency
severe phoenix
The big problem is the marketing which people don't seem to get
When they say it has twice the power, they mean it consumes twice the power
Not that it's twice as fast :p
ashen spindle
so it can be too expensive or whatever. doesnt change that the screen is useable at least
cursive summit
the resolution is better, the refresh rate is better/latency is lower and it won...
Yeah I think Ally might hit a good niche inbetween the Chinese unaffordium high end shit, and Deck
wheat plume
Its twice as powerful as the Deck but also at double the power usage
severe phoenix
The lower end model which is priced around 700$ is actually weaker than the deck.
wheat plume
wat
ashen spindle
no its not weaker wtf are you smoking
severe phoenix
There's two models
wheat plume
yeah i doubt it is
severe phoenix
Based on the specs released it is
ashen spindle
the deck is not gpu bound, the cpu is still >>> than van gogh
severe phoenix
Just wait a til May 12th or whatever
thick elk
The deck can both be cpu and gpu bound depending on the game
ashen spindle
yes but in a more general sense it's not that much gpu bound that the z1 would be weaker lol
thick elk
Depends, lot of ps4one eara games are pretty lite on the cpu front
ashen spindle
ok fair wasnt thinking about emulation
but then on the other side ps3 emu is much better due to avx512 on it
thick elk
Emulation is very much cpu bound
Still my main concern would not be performance but rather the more limited input options, probably worse ergonomics and it running windows.
ashen spindle
did you not mean emulation with ps4 era games lol
thick elk
No I just meant my huge backlog of games
ashen spindle
ah
thick elk
Lot's of games are still cross gen and not that heavy on the cpu
cursive summit
Oh yeah the Ally would be godly for Switch emu
I guess add up the prices of a Deck and Switch together, and you get yourself an Ally, which is better than both
ashen spindle
I think the Z1 non extreme could be a great emulation chip and a reason to get that even if its just a bit cheaper if that is the focus
cursive summit
Was there a dock for the Ally?
They talked a lot about the eGPU thing, but nothing I saw about any docks
ashen spindle
yes you can put it to an external screen
cursive summit
What did it have for that, USB or a mini-DP?
thick elk
I still feel like the Ally just is not going to have a great life and will just be forgotten when the next shiny thing will be released.
Whereas the deck will have a longer life.
cursive summit
Finger print sensor??
thick elk
Next to it it's usb-c
cursive summit
Sounds a bit high end
thick elk
It just uses this port for external gpu's with more lanes I think
ashen spindle
ah could be
cursive summit
So, does it charge via USB-C?
ashen spindle
I assume so
and if these are more something that other brands use as a shorter lived thing that's fine, as long as they provide enough upsell over a steam deck like this
(and hardware that can run it obv)
I just cant use 60hz anymore lol
thick elk
Well most newer games are 30fps anyway on deck so there is that.
ashen spindle
yeah hence the caveat that the hardware can actually deliver the specs haha
thick elk
I personally hope Valve makes some robust partnerships with Steam OS, that way we can hopefully get better hardware with actually good software support
ashen spindle
yeah would be nice too
cursive summit
I did see an article of sorts that said that Valve's main goal is not Deck sales
But to get Steam OS3 rolling and popular
thick elk
Goals and execution are two different things
ashen spindle
I mean their main goal is selling games on steam
steam deck and steam os are different tools to increase that
where steamdeck has more hardware costs but also gets some back
thick elk
OEMs may wants their on aditions / tweaks build ontop of steamos.
They may need to implement hardware support for additional features / things.
And I don't know how capable valve is in running with that.
ashen spindle
yeah open source can be a blessing or curse for that haha
thick elk
Well the curse would be the closed source, mostly internal shell called steam
the open source parts would not be an issue really
ashen spindle
well no, if its closed they only need to add what they can manage
open they might add more but it might also become too much or it breaks apart
if its open but not supporting a thing the rog ally wants, they could take it but maybe that breaks compatibility with other steamos hardware for that branch so it's split
cursive summit
I do have a bit of a problem with not using SteamOS on a handheld
Idk why you would use Windows 11 of all things
SteamOS should be a lot faster, since it's like based on Linux and other factors
ashen spindle
the os shouldn't make a noticeable difference and on the upside you can use anti cheat games
most advantages on linux boil down to DXVK optimizations of older games and that could be done on windows just the same
thick elk
The problem is writing an ui to handle everything, steamos heavily relies on Steam as an interface for everything to work.
If you are not using steam you have to basically write your own handheld ui.
Same goes on windows really but still
ashen spindle
yeah for usability it's likely worse in handheld mode for doing anything but gaming I can imagine
but idk, that's kinda what the product is for, gaming not doing work while using in handheld mode
cursive summit
I wonder what Ally's productivity performance is
It's approaching higher end PC levels of pricing, but it seems more than competent enough for video editing and such
ashen spindle
look at the 7940hx benches at 30w and you are roughly there
thick elk
My main concern with windows on a handheld (I have never tried it) for personal use at least.
Recovery from standby while a game is running (quite essential for my use), problems with random required updates (system is not online a lot and mostly lives in standby), standby battery life reliability.
Chance of random popups / crap causing problems in the background.
I personal preference for linux and the hope that windows fails in the handheld market.
cursive summit
Also, absolutely no touch controls
ashen spindle
so if it can sustain 30w that seems to be around a 12700k in cinebench
cursive summit
Idk how I feel not having a touchscreen
cursive summit
so if it can sustain 30w that seems to be around a 12700k in cinebench
Strong performer
Inb4 instead of laptops people just carry around Ally's for work on the go
ashen spindle
nah because laptops still have kbm and webcam and all built in
oh wait I misread the chinese graphs
that would be the score at 45w rather than 30
so still a bit lower
thick elk
It's a lot bulkier for it's screen size which is already to small for productivity.
It just makes little sense for that as a main use
cursive summit
It's a lot bulkier for it's screen size which is already to small for productivi...
It can always be used as a portable PC for that work
Just connect it up to a display
thick elk
You can, but again, there would be devices better suited for the task.
ashen spindle
yeah but then you might as well just use a laptop
thick elk
Or a mini pc / desktop if it doesn't have to be used on the go.,
cursive summit
Good laptops are far bigger and expensiver than a handheld
Yeah a mini PC is a shout, though, not many people even consider those as an option
ashen spindle
yes but if its for work you dont care about spending a bit more if you even buy it yourself because you need to work well on it
cursive summit
Fair enough buddy bud
thick elk
Tell that to my "boss", I have one of the least weak pc's out there and I am running a 2400G.
Still it actually does work fine and the time loss from weaker hardware for me is minimal.
ashen spindle
yeah but compared to a rog ally you might have less performance but a bigger screen and better inputs etc.
thick elk
Of course, in fact running 5 1080p screens at work. Just saying at some companies price does matter a lot.
wheat plume
remember I was commenting on the Konsole icon beingf the only one not outlined
Well, in Kate, the Git icon is the only one not monochrome .-.
WHY
thick elk
It is on mine:
thick elk
it's also monochrome on breeze
thick elk
I don't use flatpaks myself, but that could very well be it.
wheat plume
I usually dont either but Steam Deck
thick elk
ah on deck
thick elk
Jump 1 channel down
rough osprey
oh lol
wheat plume
The installer is the same on Linux as Windows, it just doesnt detect Flatpak discord ;-;
pale sigil
Use the GitHub one
wheat plume
yeah,I want themes
pale sigil
Report! Report! Report!
wheat plume
:P
thick elk
I would have used it myself, if it supported the browser version, but really I don't mind not having it that much
fair gull
should have suspected that it wont work on Flatpak apps
heres how it works with flatpak:
Step1: install discord via flatpak
Step2: decide you dont want better discord cause its against ToS
Step3: ????
Step4: Profit
wheat plume
Discord dont seem to care if you only use it for themes
though that may change cause Discord recently added themes in Nitro top tier plan
fair gull
im unsure how not moderating every single user 24/7 equates to not caring
wheat plume
cause I hate the default UI
old marlin
that wastes like half your screen
with nothing
- they just added themes in discord
so I would not be surprised if they did a sweep
fair gull
see discord disallows distributing custom or modified clients in their tos for a good reason
so you dont get ur token stolen
it is against tos as its not the official client
all they will do is just not recommend it ever
wheat plume
BD is not distributing a modified client
fair gull
so you go in and edit the js yourself
thick elk
I mostly just have a few tweaks in the stylesheet on my browser version, not a full theme
wheat plume
you run the installer to modify the actual client
fair gull
yes so its a modified client
wheat plume
but they arent giving you it pre-modified
thick elk
Like some discord server having the brilliant idea of using white roles
fair gull
ya worse they just edit the code on the fly
wheat plume
its like downloading an emulator to run a game you alreayd have
ashen spindle
but they arent giving you it pre-modified
how does that make any safer
fair gull
no its not lana
its more like downloading hacks or cheats for a game
which then injects a cheat menu
wheat plume
O.o MPV installed via Flatpak has MPRIS support built in
fuck yeah
I have once again made music be able to be summoned from the void
bind flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv --no-video --shuffle <YT music playlist link> to a shortcut hehe
and make another shortcut for killall mpv
it does
but it gets removed anytime I install it because of SteamOS updates
only flatpaks and appimages dont get removed
I can summon music from the void mhahahahaha
latent mural
I can summon music from the void mhahahahaha
steam deck?
latent mural
well its a cheap and powerfull device soo
wheat plume
yeh :D Its so awesome
I mostly play games on it in handheld mode though cause they run better
otherwise it tries to run them at 1080p and some newer games cant very well
apparently you can add global shortcuts to windows?
idk how without AHK
latent mural
you cant 💀
yeah max via that
im going to buy a 240hz monitor probably
ive been saving up for 3 years 💀
wheat plume
this is all I can find about custom shortcuts on Windows
and PowerToys can edit existing ones but not make new ones
third party software, doesnt count
ashen spindle
? like last time this came up or something different this time?
wheat plume
different, I dont want to open a window for trigger the action
MPV is running purely in the background for my usecase
vagrant pagoda

they dont distrobute a modified client, it modifies existing discord
latent mural
ngl windows is spyware 💀
ashen spindle
set it to that then?
wheat plume
^
fair gull
they dont distrobute a modified client, it modifies existing discord
its essentially the exact same
wheat plume
set it to that then?
thats not in the background
fair gull
and discord said themselves its against tos
wheat plume
I have 0 windows open currently other than discord and MPV is playng my music for me
wheat plume
then how
vagrant pagoda
make shortcut
vagrant pagoda
add keyboard shortcut to shortcut
latent mural
and discord said themselves its against tos
its against tos BUT it doesnt have a specified penalty if you do use it
fair gull
well except the few people who in the past have been banned for flaunting the use of it and the BD server being actively not supported by discord staff
latent mural
the only thats really against tos is message loggers
wheat plume
set it to that then?
what other options show on this dropdown?
ashen spindle
idk what you can do I never use it I just know the last time the topic came up here shortcuts where one way to add what was allegedly not possible
wheat plume
I know you can add custom key bindings on an app shortcut
but that doesnty have the option to run the process in the background without spawning a window
ashen spindle
yes those were specifics not mentioned here so I had no clue you also meant that
wheat plume
I also tried to do it in AHK but it kept refusing to pass the arguments to MPV
fair gull
ure just doing it wrong
ashen spindle
make a batch file that starts it with what you want and have that linked to your shortcut you want?
wheat plume
another question, does MPV on Windows support media control keys?
fair gull
yes
wheat plume
aha
fair gull
almost everything on windows does
wheat plume
ook
fair gull
not like its hard to implement
wheat plume
Yeah true
MPRIS on Linux is easy to add into your app also, so easy you can download an MPV plugin if it doesnt work on your install for some reason
oo..flathub got a website overhual!
WHy are all the app screenshots taken on Windows
ashen spindle
what
wheat plume
wait, this one is MacOS
ashen spindle
is that about shortcuts or flatpak
wheat plume
flatpak now, cause I wanted to see if they include any plugins in their package for MPV
wtf is Ataraxia Linux?!
It;s package manager is neko and I am very intrigued now
🤔 seems to be built on Linux From Scratch..gosh damn

not worth looking at really
gusty kiln
I'm only interested in the power draw
astral haven

does having 2 ssds in a PC deactivate the other pcie slots?
reef patrol
Entirely depends on the motherboard and CPU.
Though this is typically more of an issue for older chipsets at this point.
obsidian palm
cause when I used the N7 b550 and only used one SSD slot I was able to use my elgato ( the red circle is the elgato and the green circle is my GPU)
but with the vision d-p I used 2 ssds and only the red circle isn't working
ashen spindle
you gotta check the manual for your board those list which slots share a connection and deactivate the other ones if used
some share only stuff with sata ports, some share pcie slots, its different on any board

I just don't want to make the mistake is all
so what I'm getting js that if if use the 3rd ssd slot I can't use my elgato on the bottom lane
astral haven
yep

so just one SSD if I want to use all pci slot for my MK2?
reef patrol
If that's what the manual says about those slots.
obsidian palm
cause i don't need THAT much SSD storage

how do these custom windows iso`s get such a lot startup process amount

Realistically a fresh install will help if your PC is slowing down, The versions people make are only good for if it's on a system where you wouldn't need features on

It does however also cut away some essentials. Ones you're going to miss according to twitter.
obsidian palm

ok as long as its x8 or x16 I'm fine
ashen spindle
yeah and if you dont visit the internet lmao, also they just disable them to show big numbers but disabling 50 process doesnt mean you increase fps or anything if those process are just standby most of the time, they dont hog any resoureces from standby really
ashen spindle
ok as long as its x8 or x16 I'm fine
other way around, the m2 slot will have x2 instead of x4, the pcie slot has priority

Specifically The backup and restore feature is extremely useful, usually is stripped out

Oh gosh
Ltt recommend using AtlasOS
Which is a modified Windows 10 iso with security features disabled to get more performance
And they still recommend this
Lol
Wtf
ashen spindle
great, ltt recommending literally unsafe os to run, what could go wrong
ashen spindle
also this is BS
mitigations usually operate on cpuid, they dont disable something on newer cpus bc its fixed in hardware
having defender and mitigations disabled is such a horrible idea
wheat plume

Ah yes
Let's run absolutely EVERYTHING as admin
What could go wrong?
Linus has recommended, basically a ransomware developers wet dream, to millions of users

I mean it;s basically just a linux lite version but windows 
really curious if a windows defender equivalent will get added to linux kernel or if that is going to become a clusterfuck once more people use linux and thus offer more reasons for malware to target it
wheat plume
The only antivirus on Linux I know of is ClamAV
And I have no idea how the fuck to use it
I tried a few times
And it didn't work
And I couldn't figure out the commands
ashen spindle
lmfao

And yeah....
Fucking shit
ashen spindle
yeah that's going to be a shitshow waiting to come
ashen spindle
it already needs one
a 500% increase in Go-written malware in the first six months of 2020, attackers are accelerating a migration to Linux malware

Remember back when Apple advertised being virus free?
It was funny to think they mostly claimed that because at the time their OS was so niche that not many people were willing to put in the time to make them.
ashen spindle
ironically security by obscurity helps in those cases a lot
much easier to find something in an open source code if you know where to look for if someone else didnt check there and fix it
and both apple and linux used to have so low marketshare that it was true since it wasnt worth the effort
astral haven

but i dont trust them
ive heard mixed reviews on its linux support
oh the stopped supoprting it
LMAO
ashen spindle
for enterprise use its different anyway, they shouldn't only rely on windows defender on windows either
vagrant pagoda
maybe that was true
ashen spindle
but regular users need to be protect from themselves
astral haven
you say that but as of a few months ago windows defender was the highest hitrate av without (notable) false positives
ashen spindle
oh yeah its good and what I use, but for enterprise it should not be the only thing I'd say
astral haven
yup

cursive summit
Right, I am very confused
I switched to Bing from Google, and I searched up ROG Ally news
And with Microsoft going AI, they have this little AI summary tool about the product
And it said "1080p 7" touchscreen display"
I don't remember at all it having any touch capability, so I went looking, and this is one of the few sources that even state a touch enabled display https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/04/26/asus-rog-ally-launch-date-confirmed-heres-everything-known-about-the-premium-handheld-gaming-console/
Like, I do hope it has a touch enabled display, but I have my doubts
Even Guru says it has one https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/announcement-asus-rog-allyfirst-windows-11-gaming-handheld.html, "high-refresh-rate touchscreen"
cursive summit
oof, good shit then
I think I asked here before if it had a touchscreen and the answer was "no"
@severe phoenix You fucker, stop talking shit
It would be very mad
Idk how you would even navigate the OS
Although I think them not including touch pads is also a bit.. sad?
Prolly the most important missing feature (idk if it's actually missing) is gyro
I expect them not to have gyro
As far as I'm seeing
There is no definitive answer
But someone says it has it but it works like shit cause of Windows

Funny enough, even a pcie wifi + Bluetooth card still needs to be plugged into an internal USB 2.0 header for the Bluetooth to work
pale sigil
I'm concerned my GPU would melt a pcie lol

The only tangible difference in the user experience between USB and pcie wifi anyways is the data transfer rate over USB 2.0 vs pcie

I'm concerned my GPU would melt a pcie lol
Nah a GPU can't get hot enough to melt a pcb

How does USB have the bandwidth to fully support a fuckin network chip

Almost nothing we plug into a USB slot uses even the bandwidth USB 2.0 provides

And the cap of USB 2.0 is much faster than 200 megabit, which is what your average fiber wifi gigabit line will actually feed into your devices

USB just sounds like a major latency inducer
Well it's not lol

norway has so many tunnels

that's fucking fast

If you want fibre you have to pay someone to install it, and depending how far you are out from civilization it can get absurdly pricy

That only happens to my phone when it's overheating
No idea, maybe something it triggering the battery protection
astral haven
i can immediately unplug the phone from the dock, plug in my fast charger and itll instantly start charging at 25 watts
(actual measured power draw)
and my laptop can also pull 50+ watts from the dock when it needs it
and i cant even wireless charge to fix the issue
as even if its wirelessly charging when i plug in the dock, it switches to "cable charging"
oh hmm actually i may not want to use it, it may not support 4k240
i am considering this tho
