but sony has no anime waifu on the packaging
^
i see no downside
regardless, salnotes zero for example doesnt sound like a mistake was made in tuning it
hopefully moondrop corrects that with the chu2
cant get salnotes zero w free shipping so id pay so much more, rip
pay somone with amazon prime for them?
or just buy them from linsoul
bro in amazon it's 70usd lol
Salnores zero are meh
is the qc from chus really that horrible
Not great but more work than don't
i have both salnotes zero and chu
and chu are unuseable
but its chu 2 now
Ever heard of "it's your own problem"? 
🤷 havent heard a single review that liked the sound
every single review was saying its good for the price without comparing anything even remotely within a similar price bracket
noone says it stands alone on sound
how's chu 2 1$ cheaper than chu
buy it and youll find out lel
tru
anyways does moondrop even warranty in brazil?
probably, warranty issues here aren't really anything anyone thinks about
yea but you need to with moondrop...
that bad? f
if build quality means im gonna need to replace id rather gamble with something like this
i havent gotten the tripowin or the s2 yet, but i can confirm the cra+ are pleasant to listen to as long as you reaaaaaaaaaally like bass
well i can just lower that on eq 🤔
i kinda just wanna stop using EQ (SoundID reference, with flat target) so anything that's good out of the box would be heaven-sent for me
did you get the chus @zealous cloak
LOL
and chu 2 gets released..
LMAO
ok at least chu 2 is detachable cable
google says soundid reference is derived from harman
when it stops working
I just saw a comment that a person with those exact same Panasonics upgraded to Chus and they never looked back
99% of all wear and degradation cases in IEMs is the cable borking
yeah
lol get cheaper cables
Get a new cable for 5$
^
They aren't expensive
0.7mm to 3.5mm 
wtf
that comment is wrong, we dont perceive flat as harman
harman is just what people like to hear
yeah i forgot to send the other comment
correcting that part
heres chu
is that good or bad i cant read frequency curves i just use soundid to target flat
further from the dotted line = further from soundid reference
ok not horrible
and you can ignore everything starting at the 8-10khz spike since this rig cant measure that
heres the truthear zero red
crin hasnt measured the cra+
but they are less bass and better treble than this
is cra+ out of the box good for you
im gonna check out the other two iems on the mystery box
if theyre both good ill just get the mystery box lol
@coarse cloak I will be dead honest with you, the one time I ever listened to carmonben's audio advice, it was absolute trash 
So don't 
LOL
Watch some YT video, far better track record
to be entirely fair, you didnt listen to my advice
i have 30 tabs opened on those iems rn
so its ok
have couple of hours to look into cheap iem to buy and learn some more abt it
I recall a certain someone claiming all wireless headphones sounded like garbage but somehow $20 chinese iem sound great because wires
wires..
Who?
that someone wasnt me
cra++az09 combo goated
Cause if that's me then you are wrong on both claims
Wireless sound like garbage for the price tier, it's like 3x up-price for comparative sound quality of wired
yea thats wrong
And I never claimed Chu was ever sounding good, just good for the price
This is the new KING of fanless 6x 2.5GbE mini PCs. The CWWK Intel Core i5-1235U offers much more performance in a fanless package. With the new Intel Alder Lake 15W chip, it provides plenty of cores but also P-core single-thread performance. There are, however, quirks to this new "king" so you will want to watch this video. These are quirks we ...
See THIS is the problem with the chu
its only good because you havent explored the other options
if they sound good with EQ i dont rly care since i dont use anything without them
LOL panasonic
the problem is i doubt you can get rid of the metallic sound with eq
hmm
could wait until a review drops for chu 2
then i get it at the same time as my wooting, since im only getting it in august
like id be fine with folks recommending the chu because of how cheap it is because its for example half the price of the salnotes
but its just not half the price
the mh755 was $7
at $7 it was fantastic
I mean not really true either these days
Yeah it's gotten a lot better
if you want less bass, the akg n400 were $50 for awesome sound
@elfin forge if you wanna keep talking about it i'd rather chat here for now.
and if you want to just have the sound of whatever you have, you can just get the kz az09 to make anything wireless from kz, cca, (or any of the other companies that use that connector)
yes most of the time wired sound better than wireless for the same pricepoint, but these days the differences are closing in
same stuff w mice
thats only true to around $40 tho
below that theres just not enough money to put both a competent iem and a competent wireless chip inside
a lot of the time its probably even the same drivers shared between the regular and its wireless counterpart and you're mainly paying a little extra for the wireless hardware/batteries
well no that doesnt really work practically unless you are getting a wireless cable replacement
I mean the cable is just a bridge between the dac/amp in your pocket device to your headphones, you just bake in a dac/amp into the headphone itself
Lol this is funny
yep
but it costs $1 to get a decent dacamp chip
it costs about $5 to get a decent wireless chip
it costs about $7 to get a decent combo unit
+$1 for the battery, another $ for the pcb and button
thats $9 of components minimum
So I had no clue what that Meta Twitter competitor is called
Saw a name "Threads" in Twitter, was like "I'll google that"
isnt it something like threads or something?
That's fuckin funny
its twitter but via instagram
not launched in the eu bc data privacy things need to wait
though you could install it as android apk on your own
what is this goddamn timeline, that facebook is the good guy
first llama now this
yep, its always going to cost more, but these days the difference can be surprisingly small for popular makes
I don't think I'd be too far off assuming wireless are outselling their wired counterparts most of the time nowadays too
the other problem is that noone makes native wireless versions of $300 wired units
particularly for IEMs
as much as a lottery the b3 is, if you want wireless b3 you need to buy a b3 and a wireless adapter
Blessing3?
yes
Cute IEM, expensive though
thats not to mention the insano tier a la ier-z1r or monarch 2
theres just nothing natively wireless over $300
maybe the manufacturers face diminishing returns trying to peddle that segment either from lacking interest or requiring too expensive/bulky hardware to make it wireless
🤷 i think the main reason is you can just buy your own wireless adapter for $70 to $100 that is audibly perfect over 95db sensitivity
you can only stuff so much into IEMs before they become kinda awkward to fit in most peoples ears
but that does mean that you will never get to the same price
now sure the difference between $1700 and $1770 is less than the regional taxes
but that still means it cannot be the same price
there's also over-ears
closed back over ears are rough
iem sound quality scales a ton faster
open back is better sure but thats not portable
yeah don't think the price will ever be identical
portable yes, could literally be hidden away in your ears, no 
like really the big problem is when you get down low on the price point, the gap widens in price
if it cant be used on public transportation its not portable imo
its actually pretty common to see people on the bus/tram with airpods max or whatever they called
or similar size over-ears
at least where I live
but thats overears
well that's what I said
only advantage of overears over iems at the same price point is noise cancelling
the sound is significantly worse for closed backs vs iems
at the same price
you can spot some closed back but I think its mostly the die hards that put up with that in public
what do you think this is lol
airpod max are $600 or whatever, but they dont soud as good as $50 iems
I mean there are open back headphones that sound excellent, but since they demand quiet surroundings you'll lose out on everything good you'd buy them for as soon as you stray outside your anechoic chamber 
"there are open back headphones that sound excellent"
You mean nearly all?
Open backs sound incredible
Hey guys im thinking of building a new pc build but i feel like i wont get the most out of my money especially with intel and amd being on par, any recommendations? My budget is 1800 dollars
no
only the ones that people buy
there is tons of really awful garbage
yeah there's plenty of really shit open ears
its not like closed backs where there are literally 2-3 good units, and which of those you like is highly preferential
you have hundreds of good options out of the thousands of models
and most of the thousand are at least passable
but you still have more bad than good
Ngl I can barely think a single model that sucks
DT990 I guess but that's debatable
most of the beyers are heavily preferential
but that doesnt put them into the bad category, just passable
oh right the best example is that takstar i think the takstar 580?
its the oem model and driver source for a ton of chifi open backs, but its actual pain
about half of the 580 derived stuff is real bad, and half is real good
Dan clark closed backs are apparently decent
and the cals are closed and basically the only option that isnt iems at $50
ive mixed on cals before lol
was for a gymnasium tho so it actually super did not matter
In your world, music is essential, so slip on a pair of JBL Live 660NC and elevate your day. Feel the power of JBL Signature Sound delivered by 40mm drivers, enjoy the convenience of Adaptive Noise Cancelling and Smart Ambient technologies that allow you to focus on what matters for you, and talk...
are those the new akg n700?
Shure closed back are alright
again tho anything that gets outperformed by $25 iems gets dq'd if its over $50
there are even onears that sound ok
here at work i have the epos sdw60 and they sound ok
but they are like $150 or whatever and get rekt by the n400
I use earbuds 90% of the time
actual earbuds or iems?
It is interesting that you can get a monarch mk2 for 1000 that is S-tier vs headphones
Actual earbuds
there is in fact a difference jacona
I'm just saying iem are irrelevant to me
they shouldnt be tho
Closest thing to 1000 in s-tier are the focal clear og
At least on crincle's opinion
"Closest"
this is the highest rated headphone with 2 stars
all of the 3 star headphones are b's
But either way "only $1000" for endgame iems is an interesting proposition
They only have 1-2 of those in-stock a month 
imagine paying $1000 for a tv when you arent a cinematographer
That's like saying imagine buying a 4090 when you're not a pro gamer
yes I can imagine that
Ips/va TVs are dirt cheap nowadays
Or basically anything not oled or some unique tech
now I am part of the 4%
but i can still imagine what its like since i spent a grand on a monitor
I would buy a 27" G8
32 inches was good enough for me
if you already have a monitor arm, its just a few inches of placement different
Mainly for ppi when I use it for 1080 esport gaming
ppi actually does not matter as long as you can control the distance of the monitor from you
move it like 4 inches back
Though never seen 32" with native 1080p
Might be ok
The 27" 1080p at work looks alright
27 at 1 meter is 115 ppd
32 at 1.18 meters is 115ppd
as long as you have a tiny amount of space to move it back, its better
Oh yeah did you watch linus video with the virtue glasses?
you tried with max brightness with the privacy shades?
as long as your vision is primarily reality, your brain doesnt care
but as soon as you are mostly seeing the content, you will get sick
while standing?
No in bed but moving my head around
thats surprising
playing static content?
Yeah YouTube and tv shows
interesting
My favorite way to watch shows
maybe you have to have part of your vision normal?
there is also a solid 40% of the population that is immune to getting sick from vection
Maybe but I haven't tried standing and moving
Ah
It is interesting that some reviewers don't mention motion sickness
airforce pilots can purely come from this population lol
Heh yeah
Also the blurred edges they mention in the video
I rarely get that unless the glasses are nearly falling off my face
thats a viture issue
you have the xreal right?
Yeah
yea the viture has diopter adjustments
made by the same oem
but the diopter adjustments make the quality worse for everything
Ooff
nah its just optics arent possible to optimize for multiple diopters perfectly, there will always be some errors
same (for now)
Kek
my entire family on all sides need correction now
Would you go lasik?
tho my moms side is far and my dads side is near
so maybe they cancel out?
nah im ok with wearing glasses probably
hopefully tho by the time I get to that point, we have good enough AR glasses to do full field replacement, then i would just get lenses perfectly optimized for the glasses
i really hope for someone to make a gigapixel consumer sensor that is mft sized, and throw a pair of em in the front of a VR headset
isocell hp2 is under $100
5 of them is $500
you missed the context
yes thats the point
context was this
A friend of mine sidegrade(?) to a 42" c2 oled from the samsung G9
oled vs lcd is just personal preference tbh
I would pick the G9 personally
I wouldnt, 16:9 is far superior imo
Yeah but I'll use it like 2 16:9
sorry, I'm currently lubing my switches lol
gigachad
i can highly recommend using a single 16:9 as 4 16:9s
now i shouldnt be saying anything since i use quad 16:9 here at work
- a 5th touchscreen
cant really show you what im working on lol
Currently have center 16:9 and two portrait 16:9 at home
On the side
Kinda want 16:10 portraits
tbh if these were 4k or even 1440p i wouldnt have anything vertical
my vertical is for documents
if it was 1440p i could just use half of a 16:9
Yeah my portraits are 1080p
currently talking to you on half 16:9 1080p
I was so glad to find a portrait extension for btwitch
Space
Can't do all monitor landscape
aah icic
I do have my music taking up everything on the other monitor
yea i wish someone would make a 48 inch 8k panel that takes 4 4k inputs
Kek
That's probably only 1-2 years away
would need the worlds most powerful scaler chip but gib nau
at 240hz? unlikely
remember ive got a g8 neo
yea every time ive gone up the refresh scale i havent wanted to go back
240 should be fine for most people
started at 72, which permanently ruined 60hz for me
upgraded to a 180hz which i kept at 144hz for a while to prevent ruining 120hz for me
but i once accidentally left it at 180hz for a month, which ruined 144 for me forever
Might need 1000hz to feel like a huge jump from 240
am not gonna be in any hurry to move past 144hz
eventually upgraded to 240 and now 120 really annoys me
I'll never go back to 60 on mobile
my work pc cant output 4k240 😭
120 minimum
60 I could notice the pain even without any other reference
Rip
at work i am stuck with 60hz
Same
yeah on phone I don't really care enough for anything above 60
yea my phone is 120 and i mostly dont mind since im mostly just watching vids
Infinite scroll wheels are sooooo nice with a portrait monitor
not same here lol
my work iphone feels awful to use just swiping between apps and the forced animations
riskier for the buyer tho lol
I feel like I'd rather 60hz and longer battery life than the alternative
Just get both
thats the cool thing about 120hz
you can just turn it off!!
S23 ultra after the s24 ultra release is my upgrade path
theres even a 3rd party app for my phone that lowers the panel to 48hz
my s21u is basically a s23u so im really not interested in it 😦
Plus 120hz doesn’t really make that much of a difference on battery life, at least with the pro max series and the higher end Samsung phones.
samsung has non vfr models that dont care
I guess, but am not sure if I'd bother disabling/enabling it back and forth
but yea all the new ones are vfr
I'm on a s20 fe so it'll feel like an actual upgrade
mine is 1 60 and 120 only
theres a janky workaround to enable 48hz but its jank
I mostly look at static text or images on my phone, apart from some videos
Shame foldables don't support dex
The variable frame rate does help cause it automatically lowers the frames when you really don’t need it. Which is why it does save on battery life in a way. Forcing 120hz constantly might be more noticeable in draining battery life
i practically have it constantly forced and i still get more battery than i get on my work cell which i dont use nearly as much
my work phone was released a year later
Then I’d take that W any day lol
samsung has had this feature for 10 years without variable refresh
its called panel self refresh, and its an easy w for oleds since you can just stop sending new frames and itll keep showing the same data
my laptop only supports 60hz signal, but since it supports panel self refresh, the gpu can just go to sleep whenever theres a static image on screen
doesnt help at all for stuff like this tho which is way cooler
wild
amd really should not have pulled out the bs with the half x3d
gosh damn...
fucking nitro :')) in this car
Like a V6
Like a V6
Nownwnownwonow now im chugging some fuel like a V6
isnt that more than the mau of twitter?
is that real or ai
its so hard to tell these days
goooooood goooooood zuck
as geohot said, twitter only needs a team of 50 in reality
And that's without the EU joining in - yet.
but its ded
sad the stock didnt react to news
well tbf atleast it didnt go down like the rest
yeah but who cares what a grifter says 
what?
the guy who got sued by sony for exploits he got from some irc channel and recently tried to get money while "fixing" rocm?
?
he just complained about an issue with rocm causing kernel panics
and the sony "exploit" was a key he posted on his website
he actually was part of the towelroot and og iphone jailbreak teams
he raised 5 million with tiny corp to make rocm work globally and then kinda left and now is back on it
tinycorp isnt for rocm?
wtf is rocm
amds cuda clone wannabe
tinycorp is 2 things
1 tinygrad an ai framework for qualcomm socs thats twice as fast as qualcomms native one
2 tinybox a plan to make a single machine using as cheap hardware as possible that can run llama 64b in realish time
Here we go again. I started another company. The money is in the bank.
Our short term goal is to get AMD on MLPerf using the tinygrad framework.
he was comparing a770, 7900xtx, and 4090, and the 7900xtx was the only option that literally could not complete the benchmark
then when he was trying to figure it out he noticed that the rocm example code would literally cause a kernel panic in linux
maybe now, but their former goal was to build a better framework for qualcomm, and they already completed that
remember he ran comma ai from nothing into a $1500 self driving computer that is 2 years behind tesla and closing while not lying about capabilities
cant read deeper am posting in between raid pulls lol thats just what I read elsewhere the other day and seemed to add up, didnt dig super deep
yea the dude is definetly very unpopular, but hes also extremely upfront
and basically his entire (post hacking) life's work is on github
didnt the stream get posted here?
apparently not

Lol
probably tied to your facebook and instagram accounts
truth social must have really taken off for him to care about zuccs new platform
but yea @ashen spindle you can listen (nothing to see) to this stream at 2x speed, itll take about 5 mins to explain the issue, 20 mins if you want to see nvidias reaction to a much less problematic issue
and the result is now that amd finally has a proper bug bounty program
Ohohohoho
yeah sounds like incompetence on twitters part to let people have access after they left lol
maybe, first gotta dig up in the other places why people think he was bad and then look at that closer
Who TF is X Corp?
o
no but hdtv test and rtings would be the two places to check
Wake C3 already? I thought the C2 just came out
LG G3 has MLA but 2.6k :/(
It's rgbw vs triangle pixel layout
just because those are our current options doesnt mean we need to accept them
the a95 seems fine, just, twice those prices xD
Idc about rgbw or triangle layout, it's just for tv not monitor exceling

Need my anime from oled
Tbh I'm beyond pissed I can't watch netflix on my sofa when gf is playing FFXIV lol and I need to sit on my PC to watch
Cuz we aint got a smart tv
sure but id like a beeg monitor
the linus method seems to work the best tbh
yea because its not cheating brightness
I want 2 of these as side monitors
dont help me, then I'd need to buy a sofa, bc I wanna put my ass on sofa
And CAD
😦
holy shit lenovo, we actually have 9 machines of the same model out of the 20-30 we purchased which have the exact same issue
the laptops wont respond after being shut down and left alone for ~2 days
how could that possibly be a software issue?
Yeah lenovo seems pretty shit on hardware when it come to oem machines
thinkpad is dead
i havent heard of these sorts of issues with ideapads tho?
Yogas have a lot of issues but different customer base
yea but pressing the power button and nothing happening seems like anyone would complain about
Kek
Saw a video where the power button relies on a cheap plastic piece to actually interact with the pcb
Was on a lenovo laptop with a side power button
nah these are the fancy fingerprint power buttons
if you perform a hard pinhole reset, it starts responding
but every time you leave the machine shut down for a weekend, it dies again
Def framework next laptop
god i wish linux was dailyable
Is the p31 ssd still the best for battery life
i cant use laptops without a touchscreen any more 😦
its the most affordable one, the 2230s and the 2280 version of 2230 models are better battery
Ooo
ok how about i refuse to compromise on a machine that costs over a grand
And the best chance of this is steam OS 
just because it can be used every day without crashing doesnt mean its dailyable
by that i mean good enough to do all the things you need to do in a day lol
Gotta spend 2 grand now
just get a surplus baler and make a bale thats way cheaper probably
tbh i havent heard folks complaining any more besides the crazy low tdp limits for the models with gpus
dell has the precision lineup
and the higher end precisions are chonky enough
At this point just carry around a minisforum pc with the xreal
And a keyboard with touch

its crazy that im considering a surface to get a stable laptop experience
3:2 is pretty nice
and also only $1200 with upgradeable storage tho 2 gen old cpu 🤮
even has dolby vision for @prisma crag
Oh yeah standard surface don't have touch
Wait really
It's been ages since I looked at them
They haven't updated them on years other than spec bumps
sure but spec bumps matter alot for tablets
and they have tb4/usb4 on all the high end stuff now
surface laptop regular is boring but also has always had a touchscreen
and now has tb4
i may even be interested in an i3 n305 surface go 4
surface laptop studio seems so sweet tho
we are ordering them to replace surface books that fell out of warranty and they seem extremely fun and pleasant to use
also 2p16e laptop chip when
@rancid panther slowing syncing my Netflix....
Plex next

Well there's past content from there too tho
ngl i kinda want it
intel cpu in laptops
at least intel laptops support sleeping
lol ig thats true
i wish someone besides intel had invented thunderbolt
heck the original apple optical fiber concept sounds the best to me still
if ibm had made it, everyone would be using it now
but on the other hand intel invented usb in general so we cant really complain
I mean Intel didn’t invent thunderbolt on their own but more in collaboration, was it ibm and apple
yea but apple passed it off like a hot potato
and ibm provided the signalling tech to kickstart the project, not really the spec
Lol what
This is a real email, right?
I don't remember scheduling my account for deletion
if ur worried just log in thru the client and not the email i’d say
I am on it?
Like I am literally in discord rn am I not? 
shit u rigt
This is weird
different account fam
I got 2FA and everything
I don't have any alts
is that the reply to? check the raw email
thats not what you are currently talking on
well your account doesnt seem to be verrox#3664
also since when are you verrox
I used to be before the new username system
But I don't have any alts 
anyway id check the raw email headers as its almost 100% fake
also youre logged in right now
its scam mail then 100%
so even if it was real you already solved it
prolly made an acount near the begining, in 2015 or 2016, your current account is from 2017
but it wouldnt be the same email then would it
This is the only account I ever had
then ignore it. you are logged in. dont click anything in that email
its been over 5 years, you could easily have forgotten that you accidentally made one before, then forgot about it because you didnt use it
i dont think you can make accounts with same emails anyway
I am aware how phishing works, I still don't know why I got this
phishing
beware the phisherman
you got the email because of phishing
Which this could be
it is
Eh whatever
AAAHHHHHHH
I hope this isn't some new scam of sorts
Seems to have come directly from discords email service though
idk why you even consider it to be real when its not your old username or new one
its clearly some really old datadump
someone probably finding your discord tag on some forum account or smth
That's a while away
in the email header does it have this?
not sent, signed
Yes it's signed
signed can be spoofed just saying
if it says signed, then its real and you have an alt you forgot about
im not sure if the average phisherman invest the effort for good email spoofing
shouldnt be possible without discord being heavily compromised at least with gmail
now the scary thought would be if you actually dont get any or if they are just that good 😆
Eh whatever, I just ignore the scams
They do be fun though
Anyways, isn't Google rn using Tensor G2?
If G5 becomes available in 2025, they aren't going to be using it immediately, they will have to go through G3, G4 first
who knows
they may have different tiers
"@discordapps.com"
^
signed by discord.com is extremely hard to fake without compromising something
even "sent by" discord.com is very easy to fake
but signing it is not easy
I wonder if it's a scam email, maybe there's some discord exploit similar to the one that Google had where you get Google to send an email to the recipient with the scam
I forgot through what service that propagated, was it hangouts?
i think so
id always chjeck received and received-spf headers
next question is what is the domain of the link they gave you
those cant be faked to my knowledge unless they actually hacked into the servers
at which point they might as well be real
pls give raw email dump with your email redacted
i really wanna see
again discord signs their stuff
the signatures shouldnt be fakable

very real email from discord
Yeah but the information is bogus
i tell you its probably an account you forgot about
ye seems the most likely
I think I would remember if I had an account I scheduled for deletion in the past few months or so
pretty sure they get auto sheduled if not logged in for years

what if its discord themselves deleting bc it hasnt been used in 5 years
Whatever lads, if it's real then it's not a new scam attack
even if it was a new scam idk why people would fall for it
either they actually dont use the account so they delete the email and dont care
or they log into discord daily
Google one was surprisingly effective
and dont care
Cause that one was ingenious how they used google's own mail client to scam you
actually it wasnt the mail client itself
Well it was Google sending a notification that you got a message from someone
hangouts was actually signing messages as if it was from google themselves and sending that email to whoever you wanted
really wonder when people will start not clicking, downloading and opening everything they see or get sent
That's the shit that I am actually rather curious about
I get quite a bit of spam, and some come with pdfs
Now I am aware about pdf exploits, but these are clean, I scanned em
remember by default your mail client will download images that you receive unless you disable it usually
However they are damn massive
One was several tens of megabytes for a single page pdf
Clean though, not my AV nor online checkers detected anything
Tried looking for padded hex data, wasn't padded
Just a massive ass single page scam pdf
Idk mate, that was a little while ago
This one though seems normal, not really an inflated pdf
inb4 it opens some obscure encoded hacking vector that av doesnt detect
I'd highly doubt my AV wouldn't detect it
unless you are using like crowdstrike or the enterprise version of windows defender I doubt it would be able to detect something with fancy enough obfuscation
Since when is windows defender good, last I checked reports are that it's still lacking compared to other AVs
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/siem-and-xdr/microsoft-sentinel
not talking about the consumer version
Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM solution powered by AI and automation that delivers intelligent security analytics across your entire enterprise.
Also it's not even Defender anymore, something like Security or something
the consumer version is just good enough
365 defender and Sentinel are severely more intrusive, but more accurate
Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM solution powered by AI and automation that delivers intelligent security analytics across your entire enterprise.
cant really have security without it being intrusive imo
yea and ms defender relies on you downloading any programs through ms edge for any form of downloaded file security
i think chrome actually also passes it through defender
In this video we test the three most popular browsers, Chrome, Edge and Firefox vs 300 malware links to find the most secure browser.

unfortunately its a different less accurate engine
ah
anyways the av software that can hit 100% accuracy are the ones that record literally every action every program on the computer performs and records it if its even remotely suspicious
Happens to be one that I'm using
Good old Kaspersky
uh no
If kaspersky doesn't flag it, the damage remediation will save my ass in the end
sure but it wont save you from session hijacking for example
How would it not
It scans all traffic in and out
To the point it gets annoying sometimes
https://cloudflareapps.com/apps/
can you reach this domain?
{{ngMeta.description}}
I can?
then someone can exfiltrate data by hiding it as https traffic
thats why enterprises use significantly more invasive software than simple "AV" to protect themselves
yea as i said up here
I wonder would it be possible to install a new infotainment system into my car
It's got a weird dash design and shape so idk ....don't think I can just slot one in
might as well keep defender (online ver) enabled tho
yea
happens
done and done
but even still heres the list of applications discovered by our endpoint protection service
also you will never get a business level insurance provider to give you insurance
our insurance provider forced us to switch from av to edr/xdr if we wanted to keep our existing rates
you heard nothing from me lol
ive also heard sentinel one is good 😉
Symantec Endpoint Protection is pretty good
I thought you were talking about symantec's since it literally ends with what you were saying lol
Is endpoint protection a mostly enterprise thing?
yep
yeah figured after you said "i don't even know what enterprises use for endpoint protection"
That sentinel one seems to be enterprise only
I wouldn't mind getting a top notch protection suite
basically requires a dedicated fulltime staff to run
I used symantec and the base version was very good, to the point that it was annoying cause I used to delve in game cheat development
symantec is actually not great from what ive heard
oh for my usecase it was, probably isn't for everything
plus I can't rate it in an enterprise level at all lol, was just for my personal desktop
for me it was almost really great, not excellent and not close to perfect
the high end ones are crowdstrike, sentinelone, vmware carbon black, defender 365, qradar,
the only one you may be able to practically get is malwarebytes edr
xdd it is ironic
Zero days are no joke though
pain
ive had to manually enter so many
wtf
This is mostly Netflix
via a plugin
Plex has more 
I just dont wanna pay for trakt plus to sync it
Google has that cool bug hunt program thingamajig
yea but how about allowing us to unlock our systems if we know we arent being targeted?
eu is legislating it so hopefully we will get it eventually
yea well it doesnt let me do my thing
i want to not have to worry about an app store
i want to be able to develop for my phone on my phone
sure lemme just use webgl
oh wait
facepalm
yea but most could use it
webkit has proooblems
eff didnt like it
and at least on android you have the option of picking your engine
🤷 i need to find that eff article again
i distinctly remember pure foss chromium being the only option that could be fully locked down and anonymized
🤷 you can however minimize your generated data
tor cannot do that by virtue of the massive scrutiny
sure
but seeing the perfectly average amount of trackers is possible with chrome
no matter what you do, you can be identified as a webkit user if you are using webkit
and thats about 1.2 bits of entropy vs the 0.7? bits that chrome can be
a pure chromium user can pretend to be a safari user
a safari user cannot pretend to be a chrome user
Ya mam is a safari user
a chromium user can pretend to be whatever they want
chrome
not nescessarily chromium
again while that is true, because using the chromium engine itself has inherently less entropy, you can always pretend to be something with higher entropy
its not possible to decrease entropy if the browser doesnt allow it
chrome and safari dont allow it
tor and chromium do allow it
What number for the rev counter should I downshift at?
@dawn epoch
Ooo
Hey
You are back again!
the most anonymous you can be is by not visiting websites
the next you can be is by downloading chrome on windows 10, leaving everything at default, and only visiting websites on the alexa 100
using a chromium install you can blend in with this
using a webkit browser you cannot
I knew I recognized the name!!
Had to check your join date just to make sure xdd
Ooohh...you joined 3 days ago though
Oh wait
June
Nvm
Misread that
That's an understatement
:')
Ah....
I have a new car now
And it doesn't struggle with hills!! 😍
It's still 2010 but more power
It also has volume controls on the steering wheel
No more needing to reach halfway across the fucking dashboard to turn the volume dial like I needed to on my previous car
💜💜
I did lose the gear shift indicator though
New car doesn't have one
I was forced to learn how to read the rev counter....
Upshift at 30
Downshift about 25...I think
Yeah
This one feels a lot better to drive
And the steering is a lot smoother too
Yeah....
I'm too broke to afford automatic
That's what I did until I also learned the rev counter
engine braking
Hmmm?
Automatics are for lazy people
Oohhhhh
If I'm coming up to a stop
I just put my gear into neutral and brake until stopped
No downshifting
ha having a car with gears
yes engine breaking did indeed not change its meaning since 3 weeks ago xD
All cars have gears
thats not true at all
But this says you also go down gear
Which I don't do
I just put in neutral when I want to stop
Oo
few cars dont have the component called a gear like
but when people say that a car has "gears" they are implying there is more than 1 option of gearing
and my car has 1 gearing
I just meant to link to your post from 3 weeks ago where engine braking was already mentioned xD
Yeah I know
heck both my parents current and previous cars only have 1 gearing as well
hybrid cvts best transmission
I didn't forget that conversation
I just don't think what I do is engine braking
Engine braking requires you go down gears
I don't
I just let it roll in neutral while braking and holding the clutch down until I stop
teeeeechnically whenever the engine isnt receiving gas and the clutch is engaged, you are engine braking lol
but since the clutch is disengaged here you are not engine braking
I do need to keep the clutch down until I stop?
Or release it after going to neutral?
The car won't cut out if I release the clutch in neutral when moving??
if you are in neutral, the engine is disconnected
ive literally never driven a manual and i know this lmao
Bit rude xd
if you are driving a manual, you really should understand what the things do...
I know when and how to start moving and shifting gears
I just don't know the behind the scenes things
And since the new car
I know how to use the rev counter
everyone calls it a tach lol
Still haven't figured out how to use the windshield spray ...can't find the button or whatever
And no
It's not pulling the right handle towards me like my previous car
I want one so badly
The torque is insane
And so smooth and quiet
I'm in Europe....
Car is basically mandatory here to get most places
You wanna drive 20km to the nearest shop on a bike?
Good luck!
Yep
Not in this car
I tried that
Have not driven a car in he last 10 years heh
Stalk lol
It didn't tell me how to use the fucking cruise control.....
I still haven't a clue what the upper button does
No
I looked
It's a few hundred pages of owner manual
With a separate owner manual JUST FOR the radio system :')
A lot of shit in the manual is stuff my model doesn't have though
I have the base model
2010 Seat Ibiza Reference model
I need to find a replacement logo for the front grills
The logo insert is missing
I got it like that... One of the previous owners must have lost it
It doesn't do that
Trust me
I've tried many times
I looked
It seems mostly full
Yeah
I can use the front and rear wipers
Maybe it will only spray when the wipers are active?
I didn't try that
Why would the wipers automatically turn on?
Is that a modern car feature?
I did read it...
I have the base model
Maybe the others have that feature
But mine doesn't
The wipers are very much manual on my car
I can choose what speed they swipe
But they can't start on their own when it rains
Yeah
That's what I'm saying
My car can't do that
It is
But also not
A lot of things in the manual are for other models
I have the base model in that series
Nah
I have the correct one for this car
But they only print one manual for the entire series of said model...
So I just got to ignore anything that talks about shit my model doesn't have
It's like owning an iphone 14
But you got the manual for the iphone 14 Pro Max...
It'll talk about everything your phone can do but also the additional shit the pro max can do
It sort of is
Roughly
Basically
Xd
I have friends
The hardest part of coding for me is getting syntax right for things new to me
Especially in python
Every fucking library seems to have it's own syntax .-.
Flatpak though
Yeah ...it seems to get in the way of normal usage
Qubes is solid
Or tails
Yeah xd
They are different
Running freebsd is also an option if only for the virtue of not being able to run a web browser (at least last I checked) lol
Ah sad
Oh I was thinking of freedos oops
Sure but if you want security, the only way is to actually limit scope
If you can't browse the web, you can't click on a virus link lol
- no wiper fluid
- wiper fluid but leak
- NCT never bothered to check for fluid therefore passed without fluid
I need to check tomorrow if it dries up enough to go open the hood
They don't
Well the wipers don't
Idk about the pump
It can't be broken
The NCT would have failed
I doubt it
I'd assume they would if it's the mechanic himself who drove the car to the testing center
Fair point
Even so
My mechanic wouldn't miss that
Mom doesn't deal with this mechanic
I went there myself
:") no
He never really mentioned anything about the car
Other than the first day I went down to see it before he started servicing it to prepare it for the NCT
True
You made me remember Ubuntu Satanic Edition
I miss that one a lot
I think Jewbuntu is still around though
:") possibly
I never use a distro other than the main ones
And mostly just plain old Arch these days or Fedora
It's easy to install the Nvidia drivers in Arch too
sudo pacman -S nvidia
I don't blame them
More and more Ubuntu based distros are switching base to Debian now
Even mint wants to drop their Ubuntu base
I think if you use the ArchLinux Tweak Tool
You can use that to install them also but I'm not sure
That's a tool that the Arco Linux team put together but now it works on most Arch based distros
It's full of amazing options
Really worth an install
This isn't a script anymore
It's a gui app :D
I took the lazy method....
I used the official archinstall command to install Arch
and my arch came with my computer lol
Doing that will give you the option to automatically install Nvidia drivers
O?
1 guess lol
Steam Deck
obviously
Xd
Rip battery life
the steam deck is already real hawt lol
Just so we can see it be done
"Here you go, with 5 minutes of battery life you get the best performance"
"With low power mode, you can get up to 15 to 20, depending on the game!"
I recommend that option
It also handles the install of your choice of kernel, audio server, desktop and GPU drivers for you
Weighs 5 pounds
tbh tho the 4090 mobile scales down to 120w, and idles in the 6-15 region depending on screens
and if using igpu can hit zero
so with the steam deck battery and just adding on top of current power usage you would get at a minimum 16 minutes lmao
Just be careful ..
- connect to internet before using the archinstall script
- it's still in beta... It crashes a lot so you'll have to run it again
people recommend amd because amd is nice
Nvidia drivers are a hassle
Just not installing them
and nvidia is mean to the software devs
You'll get screen tearing and whatnot
but what works works
And the fix is awful
thats not a guarantee, is this a recent issue?
or is it just an arch thing
It's a Nvidia driver thing
Especially on Plasma desktop
i mean as long as you get a slower gpu its cheaper lol
I'd highly recommend using Gnome desktop if you have a Nvidia GPU on Linux
is it new or is it arch only
it has never happened to me or my one friend who dailies linux
It's not Arch only
it did not happen in ubuntu 2 years ago
I find the fix for screen tearing works reliable and well on Gnome
and i just did a bone stock install
Plasma desktop crashed my games about an hour into playing them when the fix was applied
Idk what that's like on Nvidia
But if you wanna go ahead and use that!
Cinnamon is a very nice balance between customisation and features
It just looks really boring to me
The themes and shit are so boring imo
Especially mint's default wallpaper
kali is xfce right?
my friend who uses linux is a hakerman so it does ostensibly work on nvidia gpu
for real tho the ventura wallpaper is extremely pretty and changes gradually with the time of day
dunno about the newer oses but the mac i use at work is stuck on that so thats what i get
I don't mind MacOS
If I didn't use Linux I would definitely rather MacOS over Windows
Windows drives me insane with BS
All those little issues that stack up just piss me off
and the ios bs is unfixable
Nah
Fuck iOS
there is a free solution to that
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/install
do this
then hit alt+ space and use that search
most of the major complaints with windows are being worked on by microsoft
microsoft is just not very competent
yea ios is extremely secure, you gotta give em that
I use a lot of apps that aren't on iOS
And I really hate the UI design
but it doesnt have the option of relaxing
And the shit notifications
and there are some insanely dumb limitations
in what universe do i want apps to be as far from my hand as physically possible????
and why is the only solution to that to clutter up my screen with random bs that i dont want to use
Yeah... The home screen is still the same as when iOS first launched
Just with new icons and widgets
and widgets have only been around for 2 years
Yep
it took them an entire 10 years to add what was blindingly obvious from the beginning for everyone else
android lacks a lot of niche professional apps that ios has on the flipside
I love my Android home screen
i highly doubt that is true
it is
the only app that im aware of that has no android alternative is the controll app for the lytro
and thats because they folded before they released the android app
Procreate is a popular app for artists that's not in Android
you got boatloads of apps for recording, instruments, effects, mixing etc basically lifted from the pro audio recording industry
since ios runs the same low latency apis as mac os
yes
but many compatible alternatives exist on android
🤷 yea the android audio stack is pretty messed up
however you can run alternatives and its actually rather common to use
there are some neat stuff on there, its not completely dead or empty
i know for a fact that dmx performs better on android
and ive never heard of a situation where midi performs worse than dmx
but i also dont use midi so ymmv
but on average the applications for android are a lot more amateur level to my experience, usually developed by smaller players
sure but they are often free
and even the same app can be signficantly cheaper on android vs ios
the stuff on ios usually has the same professional features and code as dedicated hardware or plugins for desktop audio workstations
one great example of ios pain is NDI
Ndi decided that they would discontinue the free version of their app
on ios its gone forever
on android you can still use it
or at least in that same tier but built ground up for the touch interface
and on android you can often get the same thing
all 5 options have the same options for fl studio
yep
some have managed to branch over eventually
like cubasis can be had on android now
this is only practically true for the apple developed apps these days tho
or the deprecated ones
which btw is another advantage of android over ios
but android audio/midi api is still lagging behind a lot
its actually possible to run deprecated apps even if they have been removed from the app store
in ios several apps running the same standards can cross-interact and run audio/midi through each other as well
maybe its possible on android, I haven't looked into that
id rather spend $100 on a burner phone and compromise it than spend a couple grand a month on a subscription
but latency/desync is probably going to be more of an issue there
idk my phone has a mixer that works well enough for my uses, and it supports higher quality and lower latency bluetooth audio than apple allows
and neither android or ios support AVB anyways so i cant really see myself ever using them to do the audio processing
tbh if you're not in the market for those kinds of niche applications and use cases there's very little missing between the platforms these days
bluetooth is generally not used for this type of thing at all
if it communicates wirelessly between different devices its typically over the wifi
ive never seen a video of a rapper using anything besides earpods or airpods lmao
ive seen some use speakers lol
again tho any good modern mix engineer will at least listen to their music on airpods just to verify
yeah video/photo editing is another strong suit of the platform
bigger problem is when something doesnt work on ios, thats the end of it
with android theres always someone who made something that allows you to work around it
