[wheat plume]

they have disc drives in them

You can ask them to install and setup any distro you want them to

even making the user account and installing software for you before they ship it

[hushed trail]

this might be the wrong place to ask but does anyone know a good boom arm for a mic?

[thorny glacier]

Google has a whole dedicated processing chip for pixels. Would be sad if its not at least decent

[thorny glacier]

rode psa 1 is pretty good i use it myself but kinda pricey. whats ur budget?

[hushed trail]

i just dont wanna spend 200 on a boom arm thats all

and i never had one

so id say prolly

under 150

i just want one that can hold a hyperx quadcast

[thorny glacier]

thronmax boom arms are pretty stable for the price. i used the s3 and can vouch for it even though my rode nt usb is quite heavy.

just try to avoid boom arms that has cheap looking springs. your main worry isnt it breaking, its the horrendous creaks

[hushed trail]

ah

thank you

[true quest]

two if space

[coarse cloak]

ye

[cursive summit]

I had a single

Went back to two

Your table has plenty of space so go with two

Chu 2's are now in people's hands

Apparently it's really really good

Great build, great cable, good sound

QA is still yet to be seen

But seems to be the new 20$ must-buy

[sharp badger]

Soundwise IEMs are probably better than TWS but honestly after using TWS the dongle free life is so nice, with no cables tangling etc.

Could possibly buy something like KZ AZ09 and use IEMs but yeah

[cursive summit]

Ok, weirdo

[coarse cloak]

mine only left hong kong international airport two days ago

need to get my hands on it soon

[cursive summit]

I'd disagree with that

Cables don't impact listening experience at all

Sound quality does

[coarse cloak]

depends on the person but i do agree with that take cause i personally lean towards that

[sharp badger]

Over-ears at PC , TWS while working,walking,running etc. 🤷

[runic depot]

Insufficiently shielded cables can potentially impact listening quality in electrically 'noisy' environments, though.

Then again, workstation-type setups would probably be more concerned with that, compared to 'portable' listening media.

[cursive summit]

What on earth

"insufficiently shielded"

Who are you responding to?

[coarse cloak]

🤔

youre right tho

[runic depot]

Responding to whoever said that cables don't impact listening experience at all.

[coarse cloak]

pretty sure vex meant that in a way that's not technical

[runic depot]

So I suppose you're gonna tell me that getting audio pops from static electricity isn't a thing?

Anyway... the quality and format of the audio track itself (lossy vs lossless, bitrate and bit depth, etc.) and the actual listening hardware (headphones vs speakers, closed-back vs open-back, etc.) are probably the biggest factors.

These Neumann NDH 20 'studio headphones' work rather nicely for what I use em for, in any case. Not as portable as in-ear headphones, but I don't do much traveling anyway, so it's all good.

[sharp badger]

Oh a friend is trying to decide between NDH 30 or LCD-X

[runic depot]

NDH 30 is actually what I'm hoping to get next.

It's a fair bit more expensive than the NDH 20, though. On the other hand, NDH 30 is open-back, while the NDH 20 is closed-back.

So I'd be getting a less 'confined' soundstage, potentially.

[sharp badger]

Yeah, potentially but Open-back have their quirks too

[runic depot]

Well, yes. Lack of isolation means outside noise is more prominent.

It also makes it easier for other people around you to hear what you're listening to (mostly a concern out in public, or if you're playing in a living room with other folks sitting around or something).

In my case though, the less confined soundstage would be a decent improvement when playing Planetside 2 (positional audio is actually pretty good in that game).

[cursive summit]

Do not buy these

[cursive summit]

And don't buy the NDH20

Absolute trash

Seriously don't get wireless things for your PC

Wireless is not worth it

[runic depot]

I already own the NDH 20, as I said.

[cursive summit]

I also have the NDH20 right next to me

And it's absolute trash

[runic depot]

eyeroll

The only shortcoming they have, strictly speaking, is a specific frequency range (which you can mostly correct with an equalizer).

[cursive summit]

Oi @zealous cloak , you want something actually good that is wireless?

Deva Pro

Far better purchase than anything Apple

[runic depot]

NDH 20 was designed with the intention of trying to have as flat of a response as possible. This is by design, given that they're supposed to be 'studio headphones.'

[cursive summit]

They also sound horrible

So there's that

[runic depot]

Their 'flat' response is literally by design.

Doing audio work practically demands as flat of a curve as possible.

[cursive summit]

Thank god it's bait

[runic depot]

What bait?

[cursive summit]

I thought you were one of the applediots

[misty saffron]

wireless things?

[cursive summit]

Wireless audio mind you

Mainly just audio

[runic depot]

I mean, a wireless radio sitting on a kitchen countertop so you have casual tunes while you cook is one thing.

Or a wireless bluetooth speaker, for that matter.

[cursive summit]

I'd rather buy a big mac

[runic depot]

Wireless headphones though? Eh... your mileage may vary.

[cursive summit]

Deva Pros are pretty sick

[runic depot]

But yeah, NDH 20s were deliberately designed for as flat of a response curve as possible.

[cursive summit]

That bass bloat sure doesn't sound very flat

[runic depot]

The bass bloat is the flaw I mentioned earlier; EQ can mostly correct it.

NDH 30, from the reviews I've read, seems to address that flaw.

[cursive summit]

Yeah I am not downloading software on every single device to fix tuning problems

Either your device comes with good tuning or it's a bad product

[runic depot]

My Sound BlasterX G6 came with an EQ.

[cursive summit]

This sounds either like V's or Carmonben's alt account

[runic depot]

Are you telling me that you don't even bother going that far when dealing with audio?

Damn.

[cursive summit]

Tbf we are

Good audio matters

[runic depot]

Only a casual forgoes use of an EQ (it has its place and purpose).

[cursive summit]

Couldn't be arsched enough to setup EQ for every single device I own

QoL is borderline non-existant with EQ

[coarse cloak]

ok yea setting up profiles for multiple IEMs/headphones and for multiple devices is kinda..

[cursive summit]

Nor have you

[runic depot]

Dissing hardware solely because one refuses to use the tools designed to mitigate hardware flaws, though.

[coarse cloak]

i personally dont do that cause i use EQ on everything
((and it's not inconvenient for me))

[cursive summit]

hardware flaws

You literally described why it's a bad product

[runic depot]

No headphone is going to be perfect. Every pair of cans is going to have a weak spot somewhere.

[cursive summit]

https://tenor.com/view/wrong-not-nope-gif-22294097

[coarse cloak]

wtf?

not even the $3k headphones are perfect?

[cursive summit]

There are headphones that are as perfect as they get

[cursive summit]

Tbf yeah some are not great

[runic depot]

Subject anything to enough thorough tests, and you'll inevitably find flaws somewhere.

[coarse cloak]

i mean im good im never gonna drop more than 200usd on anything audio related

ill be happy with my moondrop chu 2 and 50$ DAC that's coming soon

[cursive summit]

You want perfect for 100$?

K702

[coarse cloak]

i ordered the chu 2 though

[coarse cloak]

shit thats like $200 here in brazil, yikes

ok will save it though

[runic depot]

In any case, these NDH 20 headphones have lasted me 3 years without breaking so far.

[coarse cloak]

hope u like ur chus too and that they dont break or stop working fast

[cursive summit]

I'd rather buy them for you here and ship em to you

[coarse cloak]

how much is it for you

im just buying stuff thru my sister in the UK

[cursive summit]

No clue not on my set

[coarse cloak]

and then when she comes visit I get my hands on it

[runic depot]

When I bought these in 2020, they costed me a grand total of $727.16 CAD (after taxes and shipping fees).

[cursive summit]

140€ here

[coarse cloak]

is this right

[coarse cloak]

oh ok -30usd compared to buying here, not bad

but shipping would be expensive maybe

[cursive summit]

Thomann sells them by far the cheapest

[coarse cloak]

oh thats wild 118
including VAT wtf

[cursive summit]

Mark 2?

[coarse cloak]

yeah im saving thomann website so if i want to buy headphones i can ship it to my sis

[cursive summit]

I haven't heard of them making a sequel to K271 that isn't the BT version

[runic depot]

NDH 30 price (after taxes and shipping fees) would cost me roughly $939.68 CAD

Ho boy...

[cursive summit]

Or not https://reverb.com/item/68846472-neumann-ndh-30-2023?gspk=SGlmaXNoYXJrLVJldmVyYg%3D%3D

[runic depot]

I hesitate to buy pre-owned.

[cursive summit]

Your own loss

[runic depot]

Or perhaps I'm just risk-averse?

[cursive summit]

Nah just your own loss

You would?

Good

Wool'nt?

You really remind me of @shadow minnow right now

Literally similar behavioural patterns

[shadow minnow]

Do you listen to Daughter by any chance

[runic depot]

Imagine claiming 'your own loss' when buying pre-owned.

Besides which, that's still $200 above my maximum hobby budget.

[cursive summit]

I hope not

But they do listen to Alvvays and Slowdive

Which is POG

[runic depot]

Buying the NDH 20 literally put me in partial starvation mode for that month, just for reference.

[shadow minnow]

Bex did I even tell you I was to a Ben howard concert

[cursive summit]

[runic depot]

That would explain the vibe I was getting.

[cursive summit]

Oh I don't at all attempt to act like a jackass

I'm just ruthlessly honest

[runic depot]

Twisting the knife on purpose isn't ruthlessly honest.

I just told you

Lad's a weirdo

Still lovely though

You're next on the Doge's hitlist though

[crisp granite]

nah

I only have room on the list for one 😏

[runic depot]

But yeah, even if I wasn't averse to pre-owned equipment, that one you linked is still outside of my maximum hobby budget range regardless.

And would likely be sold long before I could save enough money to afford it.

[cursive summit]

Cause you can do both at the same time

just to try new stuff, but i have yet to put them up for sale

[old marlin]

I mean I can see people collecting actually different mice and pads

but the same one in multiple versions is kinda odd

[sharp badger]

How are Skypads? do one need those arm sleeves?

[earnest arch]

I prefer glass mouse skates

Glass mousepads make my arm sweat too much

[raw zephyr]

yes you should, otherwise you stick to the surface like minecraft slime

especially on the skypad 3.0, the previous version had rougher texture so it wasn't that bad

[deft python]

I’ve been on a skypad for about a year and half. Great experience with it. Talk about pure mouse control. Arm sleeve is a must need.

[fair gull]

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

[lime saddle]

its nice if u play tracking games (apex,overwatch etc etc) for cs and valo its a little longer to get adjusted to
its really smooth and u have full control (using ur own muslces and not just some clothpad "control" shenanigans)
it shows more flaws in ur aim so u can fix it
its always consistent and it cannot get muddy like clothpads

[frozen ingot]

who wants to rest their palm/arm on glass though

[tall crown]

can someone recommend any user friendly mouse macro app? , the one i have in streamdeck is to hard to use xD thanks<3

whichone ?

hmm

okey thanks

[buoyant sandal]

Has anybody for an AMD gpu and could rec colour settings?

[sacred sleet]

Picked up that new skypad

Now I fear my desk won’t be big enough with the huge wooting

😂😂

[ashen spindle]

what do you mean rec colour settings

[buoyant sandal]

Recommend

[ashen spindle]

for in the driver settings? default

[buoyant sandal]

Just leave them?

[ashen spindle]

yeah

[buoyant sandal]

My game looks washed out at default settings

[ashen spindle]

that is more on game settings or the monitor then

[buoyant sandal]

Not sure if they mesh well with my monitors settings tho

[ashen spindle]

gpus render things the same, you dont want to change that part ever really

[buoyant sandal]

Ok I’ll update monitor settings and see the diff

[ashen spindle]

^

or some forced srgb mode or something on the monitor

[buoyant sandal]

Valorant looked beautiful on my Nvidia gpu

Just hoping I can get it to look good

[ashen spindle]

thats not how things work, that means you had different ingame settings or a color profile in windows for the monitor or some overlay or filter etc.

gpus dont change how a pixel looks when you give them the same input

[tall crown]

you can check in amd software the settings for your monitor i was having avg image on my acer 390 hz and than i change there from 8 bit to 10 bit depth somthing and it fixed issie for me

i have nvidia all my life now i bought amd and even custom resolution is insanely hard to do with higher than standard refresh rate

[buoyant sandal]

Yes I updated through Nvidia control panel, im looking for similar results

I will have a look into it

[ashen spindle]

use custom resolution utility if you have issues with custom resolutions

[tall crown]

now i fixed it thnaks

but htere is a lot of problems with this

for example for 5 moths since i bought it there was an issue when u have 3 monitors with different refreshrate every app with chromium engine when you try to do a preview of video on YT for example was crushing my drivers and averything goes black for 30 sec xD

so from my perspective i do not recommend amd GPU

[ashen spindle]

thats a hardware acceleration issue on nbidia too

[tall crown]

i ahve rx 6800 and maybe its only my problem

in 2070 super that i have i forgot that i even have somthing like a control panel i just instal and forget xD

no issue at all

[ashen spindle]

mixed refresh rates is an issue on any cards but not consistent

[astral haven]

well usually you dont get blackscreens

just jitter

[ashen spindle]

yeah that part sounded like driver issue

[astral haven]

i mean technically wddm is part of the driver too

[ashen spindle]

but chromium and mixed refresh rates is just asking for trouble

[tall crown]

ye that what i ment driver issie for 5 months

what browser do you recommend to use ?

[ashen spindle]

oh I use chrome I jsut dont mix refresh rates

120 and 60 seems ot work better and such but I just cba

[tall crown]

but they fix it now

i have 390 hz on main

and 60 on others

and it works ok

[astral haven]

nvidia should have an option to tell windows the monitors are the least common multiple of the refresh

[astral haven]

for now

[tall crown]

ye right XD

with amd you cannot be sure, any day any time xD

[astral haven]

same story with nvidia too tho

[ashen spindle]

meanwhile my 4090 jitters on anything not matched currently

[astral haven]

[tall crown]

ye but 4090 it fresh stuff

rx6800

its old and still a lot of issue

[ashen spindle]

yeah my 6800 had less issues than this one for me so far xD

[astral haven]

its most of a year old, and uses the same display engine as previous cards it seems

and it being new is no excuse

[snow moon]

Yeah AMD and Nvidia are basically equally bad atm overall

[astral haven]

thats heavily debateable and generation dependent

[snow moon]

Exactly

[astral haven]

but anything windows, linux, or mac has serious issues with multiple monitors mixing refresh rates

[snow moon]

Surprisingly I haven't had issues with that

[tall crown]

but im talking overall experience

i will for sure make my next build intel/nvidia

[ashen spindle]

nah thats a bad mindset

either vendor can screw up a generation

[snow moon]

I have an old 60hz and a newer 144hz and haven't experienced any issues

[snow moon]

And yeah it's generation dependent

[coarse cloak]

same, amd

[astral haven]

on windows it seems to be a roll of the dice if your config works or not
linux has issues with specific configs
and mac has issues with specific resolutions

[coarse cloak]

ive never gotten any of the driver problems people have talked about except once where my computer went complete black and i had to do a full reboot

[tall crown]

but im talking when you have 3 monitors with diff refreshrate

[astral haven]

it happens with just 2 as well keip

[tall crown]

and its with drivers to my card

[coarse cloak]

yeah most of the people i know have issues when they get 3 monitors and up
with 2 it's more to unluckiness imo

[snow moon]

The thing I care most about these days is power efficiency man.
I don't like the hot gaming room in summer, and energy prices are 💀

[ashen spindle]

there are over a decade old nvidia forum posts about mixed refresh rate issues, sometimes that goes away sometimes you never see it for yourself on the same setup as someone else

I tried a lot until I just gave up and got a high refres rate second screen lmao

[gusty kiln]

@astral haven did you ever get complaints from the person you rec a 6800XT to?

[astral haven]

The more monitors you add, the number of monitor to monitor interactions grows at the golden ratio

[crisp granite]

get a macbook
play Arma 3

barely gets warm and runs well

[astral haven]

dont think they built yet?

[gusty kiln]

been months

[astral haven]

🤷 also may not have had issues

havent heard from them, dont talk much with them

[snow moon]

Okay listen there's a hard cap to how much I'm willing to spend 💀💀

[astral haven]

friend of a friend and all that

[tall crown]

macbook and gaming xD

[crisp granite]

assuming that hard cap is below 1500€, you can definitely get an M2 Air

[gusty kiln]

https://www.gpd.hk/gpdg1graphics

[crisp granite]

a really solid laptop overall

[gusty kiln]

interesting for steam deck owners

[crisp granite]

you could also just get a steam deck

but...eh

[tall crown]

steam deck is only for casual games

[astral haven]

interesting how lmao

[gusty kiln]

oculink

[astral haven]

yea thats not true at all

[astral haven]

again
interesting how

steam deck has 1 pcie interface total

[gusty kiln]

buy one of them nvme to oculink card

[crisp granite]

?

[tall crown]

i wast trying to play somthing like cyberpunk

and its not giving fun

idk

[astral haven]

cyperbunk is extremely harsh to run lmao

[tall crown]

and now i play only like hades

or arcane legends

[astral haven]

personally play with geforce now for anything 2020 or later on the deck and it works great (even the free version)

and anything 2019 or earlier runs fine

[crisp granite]

I mean...
it's a nice laptop

but apple's silicon is scary good

my macbook pro costs more than my desktop, and I don't regret it in the slightest

[astral haven]

apples silicon isnt good

apples software is good

steam deck is proof of that

[tall crown]

i have maccbook and i regreat the time whtn i bought it xD can do nothiign without searching for hours how to run it xD

cant even play most popular games

[crisp granite]

...that's a devs not bothering to port their damn games issue

more so now than ever

[astral haven]

no doge

im talking microbenchmark level it not being good

the ssd controller is on par with the 660p
the imc is latent af
the cpu raw int and float throughput and latency are pretty poor

[tall crown]

even connecting a BT speaker is an issue u need to download a app and force to use APTX codec xD

mac is bleh

imo

[astral haven]

the problem is it isnt proton

you cant use it as an end user without paying $300?

and it runs extremely poorly

[shadow minnow]

Do you actually have to pay to have access?

[astral haven]

the 780m from the rog ally at 19w tdp is on par with the m1 max at 120w tdp

[astral haven]

you need to be part of the apple developer program and for now the fee for that is $300

you can run the new gptk?

[crisp granite]

anyone can

I fucking use it

[shadow minnow]

Yeah

I just checked

Anyone can use it

[astral haven]

oh never mind i guess due to backlash they made it available to regular apple accounts

[shadow minnow]

You can have a developer account for free

It’s just not the same

[ashen spindle]

it's probably only free for a while though

[shadow minnow]

There are two different tiers or how to call it

No I doubt

It’s in beta downloads

[ashen spindle]

since they dont want you to use it like proton

[shadow minnow]

That anyone with a free dev account can access

[ashen spindle]

they want apps to run native

[shadow minnow]

Sure but I doubt they’d only lock it out to paying devs

[astral haven]

well really it doesnt matter, it is actually a set of open source projects

[ashen spindle]

doesnt mean they couldn't restrict it working with os updates lol

[shadow minnow]

Yeah apple developer now has free tiers

[astral haven]

🤷 thats actually to some extent not how apple tends to operate

[ashen spindle]

given they dont allow people to ship with that as the base and people have to do it manually I dont think they want to keep it that way around

[crisp granite]

uh...well beforehand, you could have a dev account gratis
there was no backlash

[shadow minnow]

As soon as my MacBook is back from screen replacement I am definitely gonna try it out

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, like there are paid programs but a free one too

Then there is 100/ year and 300/ year

I can see lot of betas and release candidates and some dev tools with a free one

[astral haven]

yea no, none of the development tools are available to the free account according to apple
the gptk is an exception

[shadow minnow]

It’s not really non a few are now, apparently they changed it recently

Meta dev tools for windows are also available

[astral haven]

yea apple is pretty good about allowing people to bypass their restrictions easily for the mac
The macos hardware identifier key is a common phrase in plaintext
But its still breaking tos, which in the us carries up to a 20 year prison sentence

[shadow minnow]

Wait actually

That’s crazy

On us part

[astral haven]

yea

welcome to the us

generally you cant get hit by that unless they know you are doing something else but dont have sufficient proof to charge you with it

and its not 20 years for doing it once, thats the maximum sentence for tos violations

and just breaking the letter of the contract is not enough, you have to be "bypassing technical or code-based barriers intended to limit access to or uses"

other way around lol

i think its patriot act? that allows the 3 letters to just requisition any data they want from anything on us soil

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple–FBI_encryption_dispute

apple fought for a while, then the fbi just "got" the password somehow and dropped the case
even tho the only person who knew it was dead...

around the same time, they started paying NSO group money

🤔

[ashen spindle]

Someone must have gotten lucky and guess the password

[astral haven]

right thats definetly it

the iphone was secured with the wipe after 10 attempts feature

[astral haven]

and theres definetly no way they were able to circumvent it

apple wasnt implicated here ofc, just the 3 letter agencies

[frozen ingot]

in that case I'll buy an 80s italian car

[astral haven]

to be fair tho, most folks always use their admin account for everything, and the security atrocities are awful in every os if you run everything as root...

[tall crown]

sory for interupt discussion but does any one know how to put macro in SUPERMACRO in stream deck in loop like in toggle mode or work when i hold ?

[astral haven]

agreed

intune is a good start, but you literally need a team to manage it if you want to do it properly

and you have to go out of your way to set it up properly

well to be fair tho, the hardware itself has to be default permit to be fast, and the abstraction layers to change that will sacrifice performance

chromeos also has overhead

true

does it use hardware virtualization?

i forget if it requires it or not

[thick elk]

The problem with sandboxing in general is when you want programs to talk to eachother

[astral haven]

i dont think it does since these atoms dont have virtualization

[thick elk]

Then you need api's that break sandboxing again

[astral haven]

theres plenty of ways around that

[thick elk]

Of course but it always has flaws limitations and drawbacks

[astral haven]

sure but if you make it a widely used enough item like for example a tcp/ip stack

[thick elk]

Not saying sandboxed environments are bad but they are not without fault and are less flexible

[astral haven]

well by definition they are more flexible
just less performant

[thick elk]

How are they more flexible than an open system?

[astral haven]

because you can have multiple apps performing the exact same action and they wont run into each other

if you arent sandboxed, the apps have to coordinate with each other for resources themselves

windows has tons of problems with this

[thick elk]

Containerization does not require sandboxing, and api's work as long as there is an api available for the desired communication

[astral haven]

containerization is by definition sandboxing???

people just call them different things because of the different usecases

[thick elk]

and containerized items can be fully accessable from the outside, could be writable readable by everyone

[astral haven]

thats not true by default 🤷

at least not on any competently written system

[thick elk]

sandboxing to me just means the security model that isolates different applications from one another.
Having applications self-contained with their own separate libraries is diffrent from that.

Sandboxing intruduces restrictions on top of that.

[crisp granite]

...to take advantage of the mechanical simplicity an EV can offer...you may as well get rid of that shit

[astral haven]

🤷 to you

you are thinking too much about specific implementations

the theory in general is the same

its like "starboard" vs "passenger side"

same thing in a different context

unless you change your definitions like the uk lol

yea and windows decided to make it optional for some reason smh

[crimson wigeon]

Because developers are lazy whiny bitches who don't want to rewrite shit to be more secure

[astral haven]

if you sandbox well enough, the developers dont have to care 🤷

think websites lol

[crimson wigeon]

Yes indeed, but how are you gonna do that without breaking existing APIs that expect everything to be full access?

[astral haven]

look at windows store apps

[fair gull]

microsofts love for backwards compatibility... not even needed imo cause from my experience people who run ancient software also run ancient windows

[astral haven]

and the problem isnt breaking apis
the problem is that windows is built to provide direct hardware access
people dont use apis to get access to stuff in windows, well at least they didnt for a while

[crimson wigeon]

Wish they had balls to just say that old shit is going away in 2 years and then actually do it, like Apple does

[fair gull]

they should

[astral haven]

well to be fair they do

[fair gull]

it would make windows so much better and probably actually stable

[astral haven]

they just make it optional

[crimson wigeon]

Exactly because muh compatibility

[fair gull]

no like actually rip out all backwards comp compromises

no optional

just make them not present

[astral haven]

my friend's 2003 vpn router's software doesnt run on windows 11 unless you disable a few security measures

[crimson wigeon]

Or the idea that was floated around with legacy win32 being run in a virtualized environment

[fair gull]

i mean vms

[astral haven]

yes

[fair gull]

they ship hyperv with every pro edition

just cut out backward compatiblity in the kernel

[astral haven]

tony you can enable it

well if your cpu supports hardware memory virtualization

but everything modern does

[fair gull]

i just want win12 or 13 to have a clean kernel without bs shit for ancient dos compatibility

we cant even run 16 bit apps anymore on windows

[astral haven]

the vpn software doesnt work because it hijacks the windows IP stack, but excluding problematic stuff like that, it works great

[fair gull]

and ideally id love for such software to not exist

on modern windows

[astral haven]

lol

[fair gull]

any *nix will just cut out dumb old shit thats unnecessary

microsoft bends over backwards to please a userbase that doesnt exist in their modern os

[astral haven]

again you say that but im running windows 11

the business users are there

[fair gull]

so how much software that uses pre winxp quirks of windows do you run

[astral haven]

$2 million annually worth 🤷

at least that would how much it would cost to replace

[fair gull]

highly doubt that

[astral haven]

we have tons of users using a software that is now licensed at enterprise rates per user

[fair gull]

doesnt mean it uses old pre nt compatibility stuff

[astral haven]

the version of the software we have does...

now there are alternatives that are less dumb, but if we want to keep it running exactly as it was before, thats the price tag

[fair gull]

welp do what other bigger entripse/corps do

just run xp till the end of time

[astral haven]

cant any more

insurance refuses

[fair gull]

if i had a genie in a lamp you now know my wish

[astral haven]

we have end dates for when we can have server 2008 and 2012 machines on our network

[fair gull]

0 pre nt garbage in the nt kernel

[astral haven]

🤷 id wish for a constant time unbreakable encryption algorithm that fits in a 4kb executable that can encrypt data at least 1gb/s bidirectionally on a q6600

[fair gull]

i think theres a difference between wishing a company making a popluar os encouraging software companies to use outdated practices and not go with the times vs smth that wont happen ever

[astral haven]

well to be fair microsoft isnt encouraging it

in fact they are actively discouraging it

but not everyone wants to be on the microsoft store or in the package manager

and we dont complain when android has it because the only way to get these sorts of insecured and overly permissive apps is to sideload them, then click on a big fancy popup

windows 10 s mode also does exactly that...

[ashen spindle]

speaking about complaining, RTX video upscaling still wont work for me zzz

and there is still nothing new for that feature to see if its supposed to be active or anything still zzz

[astral haven]

you have a 4k screen?

p sure it only works on 4k or higher 16:9

[ashen spindle]

that doesnt make sense

Customers with 1440p or 4k panels will see a benefit for almost all internet video

[astral haven]

has anyone gotten it working on an ultrawide screen

[ashen spindle]

so no not just 4k

[astral haven]

oh yea but its just 4k and 1440p exactly, not ultrawide or anything else for now

right?

[ashen spindle]

I cant find anything about that and I thought it would just upscale shit even if not fullscreen

[astral haven]

oh no definetly not

[ashen spindle]

so for that it wouldn't make sense to care about screen resolution

[crimson wigeon]

Why would screen resolution even matter

[astral haven]

remember its a hardware unit

[ashen spindle]

Q: What output resolutions does RTX Video Super Resolution support?
A: RTX Video Super Resolution will support most displays including 5K displays.

[astral haven]

🤷 will

[ashen spindle]

if it was that limited I hope they would say more there

[astral haven]

may be their plan to support it eventually, but for now it is relatively limited afaik

[ashen spindle]

Q: Is there an indicator that RTX Video Super Resolution is operating?
A: There is no indicator at this time, but is something we are considering.

if the FAQ is a mixed of clear and unclear statements that much then

that's a sad state

[crimson wigeon]

Just use your eyes lol

[astral haven]

it is very subtle on floatplane and nebula

[crimson wigeon]

Q: Does video need to be played at full screen for RTX Video Super Resolution to work properly?
A: No. As long as video needs to be upscaled beyond its native resolution, RTX Video Super Resolution will enhance video in a window.
Thus screen resolution shouldn't matter

[astral haven]

i dont think it does yet tho

[ashen spindle]

on vlc it seems to work for people in window mode so I doubt it only works like that in vlc

[astral haven]

by the way im pretty sure that process video automatically needs to be enabled here

[ashen spindle]

what setting is that

or where rather

[astral haven]

search video in settings or go to apps > video playback

[ashen spindle]

I mean I can try it but idk

[astral haven]

chromium uses it afaik

if the player supports hdr on windows, it supports this setting

was it even off for you?
pretty sure it defaults to on?

[ashen spindle]

hdr on youtube works for me but this was off

[astral haven]

yea but like both use the same api

[ashen spindle]

yeah no change

[astral haven]

try disabling hdr

[ashen spindle]

its off

[astral haven]

you set to 8 bit?

[ashen spindle]

uhh wheres the fast way to check for that

[crimson wigeon]

Does it work for you in VLC?

[ashen spindle]

was going to try that later, dont usually use VLC

[astral haven]

settings > display > advanced display

shows all the detail you will ever need

[ashen spindle]

ah yeah, 8 bit

[astral haven]

thats correct

rgb?

[ashen spindle]

ya

[astral haven]

well im stumped

get rekt

[gusty kiln]

anyone tried the Geddit app?

[ashen spindle]

I just want to upscale my anime man

why nvidia hate me

[astral haven]

because you arent buying h100

nvidia wants everyone buy h100 and screw everyone else

[gusty kiln]

it's a sign to watch less annie-may

https://github.com/kaangiray26/geddit-app

"An open-source, Reddit client for Android without using their API"

[astral haven]

interestyng

[gusty kiln]

oh it's basically a "Read-Only" app

[astral haven]

🤷 not surprising

[gusty kiln]

no commenting, but I'm a lurker anyway

perfect for me

[ashen spindle]

maybe I should try vlc then I just need to figure out how to download from these streams without getting a virus

[crimson wigeon]

Try chucking yt-dlp at them

[ashen spindle]

gotta install that first as well lel

[astral haven]

every time im tempted to switch to iphone, i remember another bit of janky bs im doing
would an iphone let you mirror your entire filesystem into the cloud storage provider of your choice?

[gusty kiln]

maybe a jailbroken one

[astral haven]

p sure apple has been leading off the jailbreaks hard enough that there isnt an ios 16 one yet even tho ios 17 is in beta now?
could be wrong tho

[gusty kiln]

probably at this point

[astral haven]

oh yea nvm they have it now

but yea i realized my phone is reaching 3 years old now, so making sure I have a backup is getting more and more important

[gusty kiln]

my S20 FE is also almost 3 years now

[empty wren]

probably no hard jailbreaks

[astral haven]

🤷 good enough to be able to back up my download folder is good enough for me

[empty wren]

alright

is that a jailberak feature?

[gusty kiln]

why you wana move to iOS

[astral haven]

🤷 i dont, but the more options the better for phone selection

and i am a video enthusiast, and iphone has both types of hdr video supported properly

[empty wren]

surely higher end android phones do too?

[astral haven]

nope

they can only capture 10b hdr video

they cant do hdr video processing
well at least not well enough to make it look good

[empty wren]

oh

[astral haven]

and the iphone also has extreme high bitrate recording

sony is better, but sony is even more expensiver

and sony has 2 years of support

[empty wren]

do you modify them on phones too cuz i thought an iphone has an 8bit screen

[astral haven]

that doesnt matter

the iphone supports viewing hdr, so the actual bit depth of the screen doesnt matter
and also they are 10 bit afaik

[empty wren]

alright then

[astral haven]

the iphone se supports neither

but thats no shocker

[empty wren]

well it is what an iphone 8 essentially just refreshed

[astral haven]

what part of it was refreshed lol

they did a cpu swap and thats it

its such utter garbage, i would never purchase one for myself

[empty wren]

some people like a home button🤷

[astral haven]

oh yea its great

i have one from work lol

but its painful to use

"same soc as the flagship"
is definetly bs tho
theres something heavily nerfed about it, i suspect the memory bus

or this lag is from running out of memory

but idk

[empty wren]

my sister also started complaining about her se so figures

[astral haven]

either way, im gonna get the cheapest phone that meets all the requirements
with usb c and sideloading coming next gen, i suspect an iphone will at least make the list

as well as a real telephoto cam, thats another requirement

[empty wren]

i see

it is shame the moment case died for pixels

quite a bit of lens options

[astral haven]

meh pixels arent an option, they are painfully laggy

and i dont like addon lenses

[empty wren]

funny you say that, eas in the kernel made them very smooth

but i guess google bloated them somehow lately

[astral haven]

hmm actually i wonder how the multi pixel pdaf from the sony interacts with the moments

the sonys actually have dslr level insano eye detect autofocus even in video

everything else (including iphones) is nowhere near as good

[empty wren]

that sound really nice the rog phone i think has no autofocus and sometimes it metally hurts me coming from the pixel as it was very fast

[astral haven]

from the samples ive seen its even better than the eye detect af in my milc from 2022

[empty wren]

what would you say the best still shooter or point and shooter is

[astral haven]

🤷 no idea
may be samsung?

[empty wren]

lol really alright then

just was wondering if google fell off

[astral haven]

the s2#U are all monsters

the new huawei is also incredible

[empty wren]

huawei almost always had something good besides faking the moon

[astral haven]

ive kinda wanted to get a fuji so i have all of the major camera brands lol

[gusty kiln]

is oneplus still mid in cameras?

[astral haven]

thats what my memory says

but dunno

[gusty kiln]

that Hasselblad collab not doing much

[astral haven]

it helped oppo, p sure thats the only reason they did so well on dxomark

if oppo had a 5x instead of a 2.8x??? they would also be on my list

[empty wren]

Oppo has had great colors since the x2

A shame they do not sell in the US

[astral haven]

the x6 has absolutely incredible camera hardware

imagine an iphone with a 1 inch main, 1 micron 50mp for the telephoto and ultrawide

[empty wren]

Until they figure out their act with the newer sensors they are using might not do much good

Pixel also had this phase

[astral haven]

eh for photos sure, but for video? different story

afaik video has just been getting better

[empty wren]

Video has always been amazing on iPhone yes

[astral haven]

even on pixel

[empty wren]

Yeah pixels need it

[astral haven]

oh the other thing that i require is an autofocus selfie cam
i use my phone to see ports that are on the back of equipment

and if it cant autofocus, it cant see the ports if they are too close to the wall

yea
the problem is i wanna see birdos

what

iphone zoom is pitiful...

the digitial zoom on the iphones ends where the optical zoom on my phone ends lol

heres max digital zoom on my s21u on a birdo that was very very very far away

on my iphone se's sensor it would have been 3-5 pixels

which is fine and all but i need more than that

and the sonys can be used to take video of high enough quality to actually pose as real cameras

[empty wren]

Trade in old one?

the new prores recording is good and all but it bruteforces at 736mbps
the xperia runs nearly the same quality video at 150mbps

and it has better zoom and the insano autofocus

ok tried vlc cant see if it works, guess its time to download a gamersnexus video in 260p bc that will be obvious if it upscales the graphs or not lol

So yes

Honestly it sounds like you never really own the phone

Must one always upgrade is my next question

Not all updates are good ones

I mean if someone is wealthy whatever

Depends if you are prepared

Dropped my phone facedown several times

Screen protector chipped in those spots

Phone is totally fine I imagine

Maybe a bit of internal trauma but usually components are glued or bolted down

I have seen someone using a completely screen shattered 5C

They could have literally just used a screen protector at least

Gonna be nasty if that gets in clothing pockets

Still better than sand

I will take a rock any day over sand

[astral haven]

disagree
i still remember hawaii rock daggers and i went there more than 10 years ago
sand is just annoying

[snow moon]

Forgot climbing shoes - so tight you wanna take them off as soon as you put them on

[cursive summit]

Wouldn't call em a fashion trend

but they are becoming more than just a gardener's item

Ngl I always liked crocs for their comfortableness

But currently I wear a good set of Skechers, those are also comfy af

Tried looking for some Brooks Ghost 14, but seems like it's not a thing in this country, apparently it's the best sportswear you can buy right now

[snow swift]

they r not comfortable

theyre breathable but uncomfortable

[cursive summit]

Might just be a you thing
