I want it
I'm so happy they include the dock with it
Cause that's the unique aspect of this tablet
So if it was a separate purchase it would seem strange
The dock turns it into a Google Nest basically and has speakers built in for music and whatnot
The Dock will be available on its own for $130

Honestly I don't like this tablet
Right now it's £599
And the Lenovo tab I showed you with a god tier screen is £599
The screen is honestly sad
Tbh the way the dock works is so obvious but not done before it's nice
And basically going into nest mode....
Why is it cheaper in the US

To sum up my spam
Poo screen, but overpriced however the hub mode with the dock is genuinely fantastic and I love it so much. Wouldn't buy though

Inb4 apple calls it a revolution
Also some OLED tvs I believe use the screen as a speaker but that might be a different thing
astral haven
yea but those speaker units are huuuge
astral haven
the one on the pixel doesnt seem to be that small either
my phone hides it in the seam between the screen and the frame and its fantastically loud
empty wren
If that is case seems a bit weird
Like full understanding on making them as good as sounding as possible
astral haven
empty wren
That is quite a sliver
Speaking of was cool the top and bottom was also the same bezel size
astral haven
i mean the bezels on my phone are so small that its hard to even notice the difference which i assume is there
empty wren
Yeah bezels have gotten crazy thin
empty wren
Meaning that display ribbon must have gotten much thinner
astral haven
so what they are now starting to do is actually fold around the bottom of the screen
pretty sure the samsungs arent doing that yet because its rather sketchy
empty wren
That would be interesting but I thought that was still expensive
astral haven
oh yea its hella expensive and very sketchy
astral haven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTpoj4f25dk

empty wren
Yeah that seems like and accident waiting to happen
astral haven
Just like rounded corners
lcds can do rounded corners 🤷
astral haven
Yeah that seems like and accident waiting to happen
more durable than the folding screens
astral haven
my watch has an lcd (technically) that is outright round
empty wren
If you disassembled it and I am not suggesting that you should, but would find out the bezel just makes it look round
empty wren
astral haven
yea but thats not the same type of device
it is in fact cheaper to make a square lcd obviously
but the same is true for oleds too
empty wren
Maybe they are special lcds that can be round
But I do not I never saw those, but if true your watch is interesting
astral haven
its a question of scale
empty wren
I guess that would make sense
astral haven
you need entirely separate tooling for every display
and for a phone cheap enough to use an lcd, might as well find an off the shelf panel
empty wren
Tough to find certain small oled displays
I was just personally under the impression lcds had to be rectangular or angular, and btw that display above has the bezel make it look round
astral haven
they dont haaaaaave to be
empty wren
Interesting
astral haven
heres another thing you might not have known
lcds can be ltpo
and most oleds are tft's
empty wren
That I never thought to even consider
Would be tough to hide an octagon in that yeah
empty wren
I mean I am sure it was far cheaper to do than doing a proper arc
astral haven
🤷 what makes you think that?
empty wren
That display you saw was on an LG device
Probably the first one with rounded corners
And from what I noticed when it began
The lcd displays definitely had some bleed on those edges
Probably not the case anymore though
astral haven
the thing is i suspect that the cost is actually the same for any shape that isnt a rectangle
its just a matter of cutting the substrate in that shape that is the issue
empty wren
So just a scale issue
empty wren
So then just have been a manufacturing choice
astral haven
in fact its technically easier to cut a perfect circle than any other shape
what is difficult is running the cables into the tft because running the cables into the side is the easiest
astral haven
that seems like a pretty low bar to clear

Honestly, I find the whole idea that a beta bios voids warranty rather stupid.
If you want people to test it, at least cover them if it breaks something.
If you have so little trust in the bios and believe it may bricks or destroy hardware don't release it.
Or release it to a small group of trusted users / release it somewhere more hidden.
It feels like every generation one motherboard maker is getting the shitstorm though.
Asrock definitely had a period of not being great, gigabyte has had it's troubles, I personally wouldn't really avoid asus for this per se, just their motherboards mostly being poor value doesn't help
Understandable, for me I just never owned one because it was never the best option for my needs. On my personal systems
thick elk
To be fair, marketing is usually in charge of review samples, I don't expect them to grasp who they are talking to, outside of viewer count nowadays.
As for jayztwocents, it's some silly shit that doesn't reflect much more broadly.
I am pretty sure msi / asrock / gigabyte are capable of the same type of things
astral haven
who are you going with tho
gigabyte is pain
msi is a joke
and asrock uses the same manufacturer
thick elk
Asrock and Asus are not the same, sure they may share an assembly line (I don't know) but everything from board design to bios is very different.
astral haven
so you are getting the board from the same manufacturer
astral haven
Asrock and Asus are not the same, sure they may share an assembly line (I don't ...
its the same chips on pcbs made by the same company
thick elk
Also choosing what chips to place where matters.
Asrock is as close to MSI and Gigabyte as they are to Asus from what I can see
astral haven
yea i suppose
maybe theyve switched places
msi and gigabyte are slightly diversified, using mostly foxconn tho from what i remember
asus and asrock are relying on pegatron
msis bioses are the worst of trash
and dragon center is a gigantic pita
thick elk
Still you are focussing on probably on the least important part, the factory that assembles the motherboards.
As for biosses I don't know, for gaming systems I have mostly used Asrock or Gigabyte, both have their weak points
astral haven
the one advantage of gigabyte is their bioses are such spaghetti code that its often easy to mod them
but the disadvantage are the broken submenus that have mislabeled items
thick elk
Also voltage settings on my z370 motherboards were all over the place
meanwhile on asrock enabling multi monitor igp is a mess of nested menu's
astral haven
yea tho besides gigabyte, asus is the worst offender of shoving volts
asus auto volts is a known meme in oc circles
thick elk
Also the pain that is gigabytes dual bios on z370
astral haven
gigabyte dual bios in general
you need to get a board with 3 bios chips if you want to have any chance of bios recovery

no they dont
afaik only msi has it standard on all but the lowest end of their boards
gigabyte and asus have it missing on a bunch, and asrock i dont remember them having it below their midrange either
thick elk
Ah, must have read some misleading info here,
Asrock at least has it on it's cheapest am5 motherboard

But a raspberry pi being available would be awesome
Was it a good place?
Just had to ask cuz fry's electronics was cool
But again overpriced except when it came to smaller stuff
Like I bought a SATA cable there
They also had vr setup
For public use
But the computers I am certain were overpiced
The prevyikt ones that id
They did have stuff on clearance
But like
I think it is like the clearance section in a grocery store
Tiny
Bawls?
Where fry's messed up I heard was trying to rent or hold oem property without paying up front
Since prior or currently they would purchase it
Okay
Well guess I will try to go to microcenter day one hopefully it ain't crowded
😵💫
I hope best buy shuts down
Only good things I bought from them that lasted was a USB c cable(their brand somehow was decent), makko toolkit and Corsair paste
They are like the GameStop of electronic stores

You gotta spend minimum 10k to get something that has mini-led local dimming zone backlight and decent color accuracy.
Also I work in a rather bright room, so anything under 1000 nits is unusable.

Then you have the added latency of a remote connection, so it’s still not great by any means.

Unless you have decent networking (which I do fortunately have)

because the pc processes inputs so much faster, and then sends the final absolute position to the mac, my cursor ends up where i want it faster
the mac has a ton of acceleration and reenables it every time the thing reboots or crashes

So i want to calibrate it.

I want a 10 inch E-ink reader with color support if I can ever work the courage up to try and read comics. However, they are ghastly expensive.
They are tricky too, see, there are some affordable 10 inch E-Readers, which advertise 300 ppi
BUT
Then in small text
It says 96 ppi in color mode
Which means when you go to colored content suddenly shit starts looking real bad
severe phoenix
Oh yeah for sure
but if I'm going to dump good money on an E-Ink device of that size, I want it to support the good stuff.
I used my old Kindle Fire HD10 for Manga and it looked fantastic, but that was an IPS screen. It was slow as hell and battery drained fast, but it was good for Manga absolutely. I'd rather an all in one E-ink device. Just not there yet.

I can play games at lower speeds if im on a controller
