[final flame]

then explain all the re encoded music that's available on youtube that is also on youtube music
anything that's not uploaded by the actual record label is grabbed from a youtube video

[thick elk]

I like having lossless music, even if other formats are transparent sound quality wise, it allows the files to be converted without any loss at any time.

Doesn't apply to streaming though

[halcyon moss]

what format is it in actually?

[thick elk]

flac

[final flame]

if I'm going to use a service I want the sound quality to be consistent at what they are marketing
that means no re encodes
If they market 256kbps aac I expect that

and that goes for any format

main flaw of having so much user uploaded content

[fair gull]

man u must listen to some weird outlier tracks if its not uploaded by the label/artist

[thick elk]

When I still converted the music on my phone I went for 160 opus which really doesn't have any audible differences to lossless for the most part.

[final flame]

this also applies to services like bandcamp too
there have been many accounts of bandcamp artists uploading wav files that were originally mp3s

[halcyon moss]

back in my htc g1 days i did that with ogg :p

[fair gull]

i just bought a 1tb s10+ to store all my flacs directly on the phone

[thick elk]

I have a microsd in my phone with exactly that

[fair gull]

well i didnt wanna rely on microsd in case of speed inconsistency

[halcyon moss]

playing ogg on that device.. was interesting. barely able to and draining the battery super fast

[final flame]

I have a 256gb micro sd aswell in my phone for flacs too

[thick elk]

especially on my phone I may not always have an active internet connection so having a local copy is great, especially when traveling.

[final flame]

back in my school days I was out in the boonies where I would be lucky to get even 10mbit

[thick elk]

interesting, cosidering even weaker simple music players could handle such a format just fine.

[halcyon moss]

where in NL do you travel where you dont have a working internet connection

[fair gull]

in my school days there was no flac sharing or even storing at home

everyone just had shitty mp2s or wav converted from somewhere

[halcyon moss]

no dedicated hardware. this was the absolute early android days

[final flame]

that's where the cd walkmans come in

:)

[fair gull]

no one wanted to bring a walkman

at best they brought the just released moto razer v3i

[thick elk]

When traveling I mean vacations and stuff, besides that there were a few places on my daily commute (between naarden and weesp and between weesp and diemen) where internet cut out for a bit, but that got fixed a couple of years ago.

[fair gull]

but ya i also used flacs for my bus commute to work but ended up basically replacing that with a new job

[halcyon moss]

offlining music is a thing in most of these apps

[thick elk]

Of course, but it's an involved process, it's different from oh let's grab discography x for now.

It's also not the only reason for keeping a local library. Local library is just more resilient. I am quite sure the same music could be played in 30 years.
I can also more freely choose the player to play the music from.

[halcyon moss]

true true

[fair gull]

especially if you have super-slow-internet-san serving you

[wheat plume]

Apparently using mpv as a deamon used 98mb of ram

It doesn't have windows open
I run it using keyboard command

[ashen spindle]

Did you run out of ram?

[wheat plume]

no xd

Steam Deck got 16GB of shared RAM

I have increased the VRAM to 4GB though

[ashen spindle]

What’s the significance of it using 100mb ?

[wheat plume]

I just didnt think it would use that much because there is no window open and its playing music

[halcyon moss]

Are you actually running a SteamDeck as a desktop?

[wheat plume]

yes

[raw zephyr]

why

[reef patrol]

Why not? It's a PC.

[wheat plume]

🤔

Will I wait for Valve's update to fix this or do it myself?

Imagine actually having a proper case that your work has actually been used for training a model

Unless the dataset is public, which afaik is not, there's no way to prove that your work has been used to train an AI

[ashen spindle]

You can just fake any number for geekbench or any test

Just make it read out what you want

[wheat plume]

how can I get Flathub Discord to use my cursor theme?

it uses this ugly ass one

[fair gull]

google

[wheat plume]

but this is my system cursor theme

[wheat plume]

I did, nothing worked

even flatseal to give it perms to access the cursor theme folder didnt work

[wheat plume]

I have the Dock for it and want to xd mostly cause my desktop PC has issues booting rn :/

[raw zephyr]

🧠💥

[wheat plume]

The official Dock supports dual monitors <3 which is great cause I have that

[halcyon moss]

That's the default one!

[wheat plume]

Yeah and its fucking ugly AF

[halcyon moss]

Heh, once you get old like me you stop caring about stuff like that :p

[wheat plume]

Discord is the only app that uses this one

[frozen ingot]

vanity is a sin

[wheat plume]

and its bothering me

[frozen ingot]

[wheat plume]

all the other flatpak apps I have use the one I picked

oh.... I figured out why MPV is using more RAM than I would expect, its running via flatpak

[ebon oak]

does anyone how long expedited shipping takes? i just placed an order and my old keyboard broke :(

AI does pay

[reef patrol]

Until it doesn't. Netflix are going to learn very quickly that AI can't do the things they think 😄

[frozen ingot]

seeing how modern writing is you'd think they've been using AI for their scripts for years now

[analog sinew]

AI scripts would at least be funny

[sharp badger]

Tried the Forza 4 demo and maan maybe i have to treat myself to one 😅

[cursive summit]

I suggest you don't

It has far too many issues

[frozen ingot]

would wait for the next gen where they've ironed out all the issues the current one has

[old marlin]

at least wait till the sd card doesn't eject itself

[ashen spindle]

Or don’t use an sd card

[old marlin]

and never plan to use one

just plan out the entire lifecycle of that device

[wheat plume]

Yeah, the SD Card issue is concerning since its a hardware problem :/

or just install a larger internal SSD assuming a recovery image is available

apparently its as easy to replace the SSD as on the Deck

[vagrant pagoda]

2mm isn't microled

[cursive summit]

Oh good lord, budget TWS

I hate that stem design

[cursive summit]

Some people don't know what prefix micro even stands for

Is it true that mini-led displays are vastly oversaturated?

From what I'm seeing, peeps are saying they are a lot less colour accurate than OLED

Is miniled actually better than IPS or not?

[thick elk]

Mini led is a backlight so there is nothing preventing a miniled ips from existing

[cursive summit]

I wish I had the opportunity to see a miniled on display somewhere

I like saturated colours usually, I wonder how much vibrant it is than IPS

[thick elk]

Well an IPS screen with a mini led backlight will have better contrast than an edge lit IPS screen.

Really that's about it, it's a better backlight tech than having larger zones or having it lit from the edge

should not impact the color gamut much as far as I know.

I feel like the messaging goes back to the days people advertized LED tv's vs lcd, while really it was LCD either way, just with a LED instead of a CCFL backlight.

[halcyon moss]

12x12cm, thats not small

[simple steeple]

Got my new OLED and monitor arms installled, now just waiting on my Wooting and my desk overhaul will be complete

Also while looking at the ROG Ally I checked out the Fold 4 the gap in-between is said to be better on the Fold 5 but the lightning ain't helping the crease (Looked at the Flip 4 & S23U too) 😅

[wheat plume]

You cant copy/cut paste folders on MacOS??

[astral haven]

since when?

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/0saKpm5g8iU?t=238

timestamped

[astral haven]

yea the menu doesnt include cut

[wheat plume]

or copy it seems

[astral haven]

if you want to cut and paste you need to drag the folder with the mouse

copy is there

[wheat plume]

wow

ok

[wheat plume]

aha

this way to cut means you need to drag and drop or know keyboard shortcuts

[astral haven]

what i dont get is why you cant right click inside a folder and create a new document or anything else of use

[wheat plume]

and no one really knows shortcuts :/

[astral haven]

yea

actually does ctrl x work lemme check

[wheat plume]

Yeah it should, according to the menu bar items

it showed that shortcut

[ashen spindle]

I think people know shortcuts but if you try any os for the first time you wont know them

[astral haven]

dont think i can do it since im in a remote session :/

[wheat plume]

aah

Is there a way to get a MacOS ISO to try in a VM?

[astral haven]

legally, image a real mac

otherwise
🏴‍☠️

[wheat plume]

does Apple let you download the ISO from their site? like Microsoft does for Windows?

[ashen spindle]

lol

[astral haven]

apple has a network booting option built into the hidden partition on the mac

[reef patrol]

You don't download and install a MacOS. You boot into the recovery console, and then it takes over.

In the good old days it was even built into ROM.

[astral haven]

it autodownloads from apples servers on its own

[wheat plume]

o...

[frozen ingot]

apple only bundles their OS with computers afaik

don't think there's a way to buy mac os separately

[astral haven]

correct

you also arent legally allowed to run the macos installer on a non apple branded device

god damn it this mac keeps forgetting my resolution
why on earth doesnt it just remember to keep 1080p for this remote session that has always been and always will be 1080p

this page says you can? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372

[wheat plume]

o.o

hek

[astral haven]

thats a disk image not an installer

[wheat plume]

yeah, can put that in VM and boot?

[reef patrol]

Also... ancient?

[wheat plume]

Yeah...those are ultra old versions

[astral haven]

these you can in theory

theres instructions for making hackintoshes online forever

and good guy apple made the hardware secret key a plaintext lowercase english sentence

now you arent legally allowed to use it but they dont make it hard

[halcyon moss]

Keeping a hackintosh running takes effort, and it's a gateway to buying the actual thing

[astral haven]

yep
we us actual macs
just stuffed on a shelf and remoted into, but actual apple hardware regardless

upgraded with an aftermarket ssd, but still otherwise running great

this is the machine that feels smoother to use with apple configurator to me than our 2020 M1 Mac mini
its frankly embarassing that an ostensibly "NVME" drive feels less responsive than a sata drive

and especially it also has double the ram, and an alledgedly faster "8 core" processor

[ashen spindle]

but but apple said new storage needs to be soldered bc special sauce

so I think you must be lying

[astral haven]

yep definetly lying
especially considering this laptop also supports pcie ssds (proprietary form factor of course)

[fair gull]

what special sauce? their firmware?

[astral haven]

their on die ssd controller

[thick elk]

If only they at least upgraded the defaults to something more sensible for a modern system.

They use it for device encryption as well

Still it could work socketed, and they have had them in the past so really it's just cost.

[fair gull]

i mean mac studio is swapable ssds

[astral haven]

nope

the ssd controller is still on die

[fair gull]

and you can still swap the ssds

[astral haven]

the chips they swap are only the nand

and the nand doesnt have a built in controller

[fair gull]

yes but you can swap them

[astral haven]

but its not an ssd

and as such it has limitations to how you can swap it

[fair gull]

id say as its nand chips with address lines its an ssd

[astral haven]

thats called flash memory

AI Music time xd

Music that tastes like maple syrup

hhmmm I wanna try that

this is a set of dram chips

damn it, this is waitlist invite only ;-;

[astral haven]

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16670/using-a-pcie-slot-to-install-dram-new-samsung-cxlmem-expansion-module
This is an ssd

despite using (presumeably) the same chips

[astral haven]

like gotta remember modern nand requires pretty complex signalling to activate and retreive data from
just like dram chips
heres a random one for a 64MB chip i found online, the modern 512GB stuff is alot more complex

sd and emmc are basically just SPI, and not a relatively complex state table

[crude hatch]

That mostly looks like resin printing which has a lot of detail so isn't a big challenge to make that stuff. The real challenge is making those models.

It's messy that's for sure but they are nice to have, especially as a compliment to an fdm printer

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xt-is-up-to-67-faster-with-the-latest-adrenalin-driver-update/

[crude hatch]

They are typically not super crazy expensive from what I recall and isn't usually too much variance between models of them

[astral haven]

if all around true that could be pretty meaningful
https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx/images/forza-horizon-5-2560-1440.png

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

Wonder if it applies to xtx too

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter

[astral haven]

look at the article for a half second?

[ashen spindle]

the 67% is in a case where it was slower than a 6800 before

so its just a bug fix

[astral haven]

the bug fix applies to xtx too it seems

hmm it also applies to the 6950xt

[ashen spindle]

yeah but it only puts them where they already where in other games compared to nvidia

[astral haven]

and the 6800

[vagrant pagoda]

6800 got boost to

[ashen spindle]

then again this is form very questionable sites

so idk if the testing is even valid

[astral haven]

finewine more like oops we werent supposed to give you vinegar

[ashen spindle]

I mean based on your TPU screenshot there it wouldnt even change

think steve already is making an update review for the 7900 cards so no need

bc prices are dropping to recommendable ones for the XT

[astral haven]

looking forward to ltt labs

completely brand new charts every time

that was a special sale day 🤷

[cursive summit]

What's this uwu

[astral haven]

you watched the show right?
the profit from the backpack and screwdriver had them net positive excluding staffing

well if you did, you would know storefront alone profited 80k, again not including handling costs but it was still positive

yea but he received 80k more than he paid in shipping+merchandise in exchange

[wheat plume]

RIP, FIle Explorer home page looks so shit now

[ashen spindle]

ngl I forgot home page still exists

so nothing of value lost for me

[astral haven]

ooh neat the windows 11 win+v menu added emoji 💪 and kaomoji (￣︶￣*))

oh rip discord messed it up

[wheat plume]

V? I thought Emoji popup was Win + .?

did they change that?

[astral haven]

its a different menu

[wheat plume]

ooh, V is clipboard

[astral haven]

win v used to just be the clipboard

[wheat plume]

wait...used to?

whats it now?

[astral haven]

now it also has other bs

[wheat plume]

o...they merged them??

[crimson wigeon]

Yes

[wheat plume]

hek..

[astral haven]

win period brings up the same menu except defaulting to search rather than clipboard

[wheat plume]

aahhh

I hate 12 hour time :')

it makes the clock look really top heavy

[ashen spindle]

so change it?

[astral haven]

thats why the seconds are disabled by default?

[wheat plume]

Nah, id keep the seconds

but 24 hour best xd

[misty saffron]

why would you want seconds

[astral haven]

^

[crimson wigeon]

Because

[wheat plume]

I used to have a phone that did not let me change to 24 hour time

it was so fucking annoying

[misty saffron]

so you’ve added seconds on pc to spite it?

[wheat plume]

I think it was my Windows phone

[astral haven]

the only reason ive made any attempt at 24hr is so that i can get an intuition for it

[wheat plume]

huh?

[misty saffron]

i use 12 hour on pc because i can’t give enough fucks to change it

[astral haven]

when i hear 8p i intuitively know approximately how far from now that is

when i hear 20:00 i have to perform the conversion mathematically

[wheat plume]

Microsoft stole the switch design from Google :')

[astral haven]

since when lol

these switches were in windows 8

[wheat plume]

those are not the 8 switches

[wheat plume]

this is the 8 switch

[frozen ingot]

google totes stole them from apple then

[wheat plume]

those look nothin the same

[frozen ingot]

they do though

[astral haven]

its the same thing except rounded instead of square lol

[misty saffron]

if anything, the design of those toggles was apple’s thing from… a real while ago

[wheat plume]

The circle fill the whole side of the toggle in Apple's one

[astral haven]

these toggles were ostensibly stolen from actual physical switches

[wheat plume]

it doesnt use the accent color either

[ashen spindle]

rectangle in rectangle or both rounded is how any switch looks like

[wheat plume]

yeh but the subtle designs

[astral haven]

well no you can just have a checkmark

[ashen spindle]

not a switch but a checkbox then

[frozen ingot]

are you sure about that

[astral haven]

a checkbox is a type of switch

[wheat plume]

the only difference between Windows 11 toggles and the Android Material You toggle is the size of the circle and the fact Windows on its always black while Android uses a different shade of the accent color

[misty saffron]

pretty sure apple would be the origin

[frozen ingot]

classic times

[ashen spindle]

Either way there are like 5 options of how you can make a moveable toggle like that, it's not that unlikely some look the same without them ever having seen the other

[astral haven]

^

[frozen ingot]

I miss the skeumorphic ios

[misty saffron]

i don’t honestly, neumorphism is the best of both worlds

[ashen spindle]

design changes and how you would add a toggle in that design hapepns to look like the same as another, really not unlikely

[wheat plume]

my linux theme also uses a material you style toggle

[astral haven]

also gotta remember windows 11 has been around for quite a while

[frozen ingot]

omg apple design theft

[ashen spindle]

so linux stole it from microsoft smh

[misty saffron]

mostly because people in design see something, think “ok that’s nice” and draw something similar

[wheat plume]

this is more like te Windows 11 one

yeh...the font is fucked, I know

[misty saffron]

we get it, linux is very consistent

[wheat plume]

Nah xd

[ashen spindle]

I mean if there are rectangle switches and a design changes to round corners you change toggles to be round, done, looks the same now

[wheat plume]

if you stick to GTK apps or QT apps only

it is consistent

but mixing them makes it not consistent

[astral haven]

this is windows 10 lol

[wheat plume]

tiny circle

[astral haven]

its the same size as on 11

[wheat plume]

nope

[misty saffron]

is it though?

pretty sure they changed a lot with fluent design

[wheat plume]

The new Mica theme on 11 is much nicer than Fluent IMO

[ashen spindle]

bigger circle bc bigger box but looks the same relatively

[wheat plume]

being said, I prefer the blur sidebar of Fluent

[wheat plume]

yeh, circle bigger, thats what I said, 10 smaller

[misty saffron]

yeah the pill is shorter

[ashen spindle]

because the entire switch is bigger

if you make the entire thing big ofc the circle gets bigger

[eager lantern]

Waaaait a minute. I just saw the official video covering 4.5.0 and 4.5.5 updates. Flaretech keyboards (those are the old ones, right?) get to set up 60 advanced keys. Why can my TWO HE use only 40? Shouldn't it have more storage space for this?

[reef patrol]

Tradeoff. The HE boards have features that the Flaretechs cannot have, and everything takes up memory

[frozen ingot]

I mean who even needs more than 40 per profile

[eager lantern]

Sad but oddly satisfying

[wheat plume]

60HE + L45 Switches, thats my ultimate combo rn

but I cant afford to buy one yet ;-;

[frozen ingot]

45 weaksauce

chads use 60

[eager lantern]

Dunno, just using 2 now, but thinking I could run out and other wouldn't... :P

[wheat plume]

my wooting two is hard to type on for me cause its too heavy for me

[frozen ingot]

workout those fingers then

[wheat plume]

Wait, the System76 software has a windows version?

I thought that was only on Linux

[frozen ingot]

yeah I got like 5-6 at most on a single profile

[wheat plume]

aaahhh

I assume having two spacebars would make the stabs work better?

less wobble and better sound

[crisp granite]

*2HE

Hard agree

…there is a level of diminishing returns, you know?

400% is still well within though

[cursive summit]

Interesting

I wonder what this change will break

[wheat plume]

Cant get the Samsung Good Lock app in Ireland :/

[fair gull]

arc browser best browser

[sharp badger]

Edge browser is teh best

[wheat plume]

Where would you get it? Does the Galaxy store have a web front end?

[fair gull]

what would stop you from getting it in ireland

its on samsungs own store

interesting

wonder if its cdn related or related to localizing the store page or smth

would be an odd decision for sure

gg i can install it

wait it just takes u to another app in the galaxy store

lol

[wheat plume]

Yeah a fake good lock app

[fair gull]

no its the official one

[wheat plume]

Not showing up for me

Just a fake one with the same name

[fair gull]

link

i cant find a second good lock one

[wheat plume]

Does this phone just not support the app?

It's the A04

[fair gull]

i mean as i can use it on my s10+

id assume it would work

[wheat plume]

Yeah
That phone is not 120 euro xd

[fair gull]

but ya i cant find any second good lock app on the galaxy store

[wheat plume]

A04 is cheap phone
Doesn't even have a fingerprint scanner

[fair gull]

only one i find is the official one https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock

[wheat plume]

Only this one shows up for me
https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/com.vault.appforphoto.hide

[fair gull]

doesnt work on a04 because of the one ui version

its one ui core

not the full one ui

thats why

anyway it would just link to other apps from good lock labs anyway

the good lock app itself doesnt do anything except list other apps

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

Damn ok

[fair gull]

just get an iphone already lana

no need to redesign your phone

cause you cant anyway

[wheat plume]

A04 is my uncle's new phone

Funny enough... His old phone has a scanner

But not the new one

And that phone still runs Android 8 with 16gb storage in total

[fair gull]

if his old one is also samsung but doesnt run one ui core it can prob do good lock stuff

[wheat plume]

It's Huawei

[fair gull]

also unsure why its called good lock

when its about looks and function

[wheat plume]

Not a clue xd

You can use it to customize lock screen

Maybe that was it's only feature when they named it

[shadow minnow]

I am not sure if this is an issue of my Mac or hardeive, but I have a seagate external hard drive that works on windows but on macOS didn’t show up under locations, it shows up under usb devices, but when I try to access it through disk utility it’s stuck on loading disks

Like whenever I don’t have it connected it loads, whenever I have it connected disk utility is failing to load

[wheat plume]

What is it formatted as?

[shadow minnow]

exFAT

[wheat plume]

Oh
Then idk why

[shadow minnow]

When I got it it used to show up fine, then it started to usually not show up, now it almost never does on the Mac

[halcyon willow]

ssenelahW siH

[shadow minnow]

Oh after ages the drive loaded

[shadow minnow]

That’s a criminal claim

[ashen spindle]

see how well it can differentiate intel or amd sku names and chip infos

uhh I guess infos about the 13900k from intels ark database website

hmm numbers pulled from ark seem not hallucinated but the conclusion is off and in the second one it randomly uses the 13600k

so from pure data tables it can take the right spec but the context is still a bit unreliable

also oh god userbenchmark as a source, guess good SEO pays off for shit sites to become features in AI

[crisp granite]

that would make sense

better browser for best OS

but that’s not how these things work most of the time

I always am

I never knew I could instantly love an emoji oh my god

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

no perms remember

[crisp granite]

You’re a close second

[halcyon willow]

for what cpu

[sharp badger]

12700K

[halcyon willow]

Does it need it?

[sharp badger]

Not really but wanted to test it out

[halcyon willow]

What setup is this

[sharp badger]

This : 12700K , G.Skill DDR5 , 3080 TUF

Could just wedge something up in the front of the GPU too 👨‍💻

Might just also switch to a 360mm EK AIO in the front with 3xT30s

Yeah those are interesting too but with this build it would just fit with the other T30s, the Apex Metal fans should release in October/November~

Hope that future cards will be smaller or i'll have to switch case , the 4090 FE is like the smallest and then there's options like 4090 Suprim liquid X and 4090 Rog Strix LC

Yeah the 4080 ProArt is like 300mm though

Aaah ok & yeah lol

Yep & the 3080 TUF i have is 299mm the 40xx TUF is 348,2mm

I still have a cable-free PCIe power feed GTX 1050 somewhere

I do like the whole cable-free thing

[final flame]

[cursive summit]

But it's a bit of a different concept with these

More expensive than the old design

Iirc the PCIe power feed was limited to.. 100W?

Yeah 75W is lacklustre mobile area for power limits

New cards won't really perform well with that

[sharp badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXhkrlfgQhk GN talked a bit about it here

I like what ASUS is doing, but it just seems like they'll overprice the motherboards and GPUs

Might switch from qobuz to this

[frozen ingot]

hires flac?

isn't it already lossless?

[gusty kiln]

No, was using mqa even for the cd quality

[final flame]

hires as in above 44.1 16bit flac

[gusty kiln]

They are returning back to flac

[final flame]

really?

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

Master tag will always use mqa

[final flame]

I meant for stuff that labeled itself cd quality

[gusty kiln]

Oh I'm not sure

[crimson wigeon]

Is that high of a sample rate actually beneficial? Last I read about it it might actually be harmful

[final flame]

not really that beneficial, there is a difference but not really a noticable one

[crimson wigeon]

ANd doubt anyone can hear those super high frequencies anyway

[final flame]

the issue was tidal has most of it's library in hires

so the mqa version most of the time was the only version you could listen to

which is far worse than cd quality flac

[crimson wigeon]

Oh yeah MQA is a meme

[final flame]

not really harmful but you can get resampling artifacts from having your dac set to a different sample rate than the track

[gusty kiln]

16/44.1 is plenty for pretty much everyone

[pale sigil]

Don't be silly

Only vinyls are acceptable

[crimson wigeon]

Yes I need those crackles and pops

[reef patrol]

Vinyl
Lossless

Pick one.

[gusty kiln]

Though tidal/qobuz do have different masters that sound different from YouTube or spotify

Like actually different version of the same track

[frozen ingot]

I mean the vast majority is mastered for it anyways so its not lossy

[final flame]

little thing I'm working on

track display

[frozen ingot]

vinyl more like lossful

unless you count high noise floor, scratches and pops as lossless

vinyl is overrated, gib reel-to-reel tape any day of the week

Android is getting a new "Unknown tracker alerts" feature.

The new "Unknown Tracker Alerts" feature announced at I/O 2023 will be coming to devices running Android 6.0 and later starting this month. The feature allows you to receive notifications when someone else's Bluetooth tracker is travelling with you.

Tapping on the notification will help you learn more about the tracker, how to disable it and view a map with the history of the tracker moving with you. You can also tap the "Play Sound" button and the tracker will emit a sound to help you locate it without the tracker owner's knowledge.

If you bring the device to the back of your phone, some Bluetooth trackers can tell you their serial number or additional info about the device owner, such as the last four digits of their phone number.

Also you can manually scan for trackers around you.

IDK if this includes Apple Airtags

Airtags use Bluetooth?

Ooh nice

I use dns to block most ads inside apps

[cursive summit]

Man reddit is annoying with these constant NFT ads

If you think that does anything, you'd be wrong

Not these

[wheat plume]

Google is delaying the launch of its Find My Device network and trackers because of Apple.

Along with the announcement of Unknown Tracker Alerts (which currently only works with AirTag), Google said it will not launch the Find My Device (FMD) network "until Apple has implemented protections for iOS."

Also, Google has confirmed to 9to5Google that alerts for unwanted use of AirTag trackers are currently based on a custom implementation that differs from the upcoming specification. Android is implementing these alerts now to allay user fears, as Apple's tracker is quite widely available.

Google is working with other tracker manufacturers (Samsung, Tile, Chipolo, eufy Security and Pebblebee) to expand interoperability as part of a joint industry FMD specification.

The FMD network was originally scheduled to launch during the summer, but is now expected to launch before the end of 2023.

Please explain yourself, I would love to learn more

I mean, I have a faint idea but I would love if you could go in further detail

[mild dome]

Amazon treats its warehouse workers like machines.
They get like 1 piss break every four hours, and even then its like 5 minutes. Since it takes 10 minutes to travel from your assigned workstation in the warehouse to the bathroom the only option is plastic bottles

[halcyon willow]

Every Amazon driver that I've seen come to my house look like they have PTSD

Like they've seen some shit

always immediately take a picture and get back in the car

How exactly is that a bad thing?\

Don't be like that lol, just tell me

[mild dome]

Also to add: Amazon has the cheapest prices, and yet at the same time the fastest shipping, but somehow its owner is one of the richest men alive today. This means in Amazon is cutting corners somewhere, and those corners are the workforce

As I mentioned before they got warehouse workers practically jogging around collecting stuff so they don't have to hire additional workers to get it done on time. They use contractors who are often underpaid to deliver the items, and if they don't deliver on time they get penalised quite badly

So on one side you got Amazon practically monopolising a logistics industry
And on the other you got them abusing the heck out of their workers who make that industry

Also Amazon solution to processing any returns: Destruction
This includes unopened Macbooks, because its apparently cheaper to destroy these goods then to have a team sorting it

[fair gull]

until you actually have the traffic they do

[raw zephyr]

you can host it on cloudflare for free.

if it's a static site

[fair gull]

firsat only one node, thats static and doesnt even talk about speed

ok but you dont get all of that nor do i imagine its per location

prob just in total for all thewir locations

also youll have a lot more traffic than 1tb

video hosts try to use the least amount of bitrate for a video for a reason

if its a tiny hobbyist blog id just host a webserver as those usually come with a few tb of traffic a month or some fair use traffic aka dont try to congest it for less than 15bucks a month

and many of them offer 500-1000gb of ssd storage

a tiny blog wouldnt use a cdn

they dont use those because of the cdn

[raw zephyr]

indeed, i didn't read the previous messages, but it's definitely suitable for a static website

[fair gull]

cloudflare is usually used as many also use it for dns and ddos protection

netlify prob just has good pricing and github is free

[raw zephyr]

i use cloudflare for the dns, i will mess around with cloudflare tunnels when i finally build my nas

[fair gull]

ah ya netlify has a free tier thats why

so while a cdn is sort of included its not why they choose those platforms

i think you got the whole case upside down. the users dont choose to host on a cdn... cloudflare, netlify and github just are setup to use CDNs regardless of what the user wants

i think most of them arent trying to avoid managing a server or something but literally just dont wanna pay when theres a free solution unless the paid option has something they absolutely need

and most of the stuff i have seen on there is usually just static pages

of guides or something

[raw zephyr]

i pay like 6€ a month for a 4 vcores, 8gb ram and 100gb nvme vps, run many static sites + game servers on it

Hopefully they won’t kill off their GPUs competition is nice and especially since they are profitable now

[ashen spindle]

Intel being up doesn’t mean gpu is profitable xD

[cursive summit]

Intel investing so much into GPU and just cancelling it after a few years cause "initial batch was not profitable" would really hurt them

[ashen spindle]

Well it’s more that intel was currently not going to cancel gpus even if they are going down and on the other hand obviously they would know more about future gens so if they knew next 2 gens would be equally mediocre like this one or wouldn’t work out

dont care about shitel, busy with ffxiv stream from fanfest

[fickle ore]

Well they beat estimates by 0.7 bil :3

must be doing something right

[ashen spindle]

couldnt care less currently

[fickle ore]

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares rose more than 7.5% in extended-hours trading after the semiconductor giant posted second-quarter results that topped estimates and showed signs of a recovery in the PC market.

For the period ending July 1, Intel (INTC) earned an adjusted 13 cents per share on $12.9B in revenue, as the company's Client Computing Group generated $6.78B in revenue, above estimates.

Revenue attributed to its Data Center and AI group fell 15% year-over-year to $4B, while Network and Edge revenue dropped 38% to $1.4B. Intel's nascent foundry unit saw a 307% surge in revenue to $232M.

The company also generated $454M in revenue attributed to Mobileye (MBLY), which it partially spun-off in October 2022.

[fickle ore]

ok maybe someone else cares

Same 😄

[ashen spindle]

trust in what regard

you mean the other way around?

secure memory enclaves and such have been on epyc for 2+ gens and intel still doesnt

I mean then we can talk about spectre and meltdown hitting them worse and needing more fixes

for consumers it really doesnt matter

[fickle ore]

dwelling in the past

doesnt matter what happened

[ashen spindle]

I mean if we dont talk about the past there is no reason to trust intel more currently lol

since there is not reason why it should be trusted more

[fickle ore]

have seen enough amd issues and agesa problems

[ashen spindle]

you just said we cant dwell on the past lol

[fickle ore]

intel even passed them on gpu drivers quality prob

[fickle ore]

theyre current eh

[ashen spindle]

what current agesa problem

[fickle ore]

spectre/meltdown is like half a decade back

theyre just surfacing now

[ashen spindle]

zenbleed is zen2 only though

[fickle ore]

intel was so much more popular, ppl hadnt searched for amd stuff

I'm sure all it takes is a competitive node and intel will regain data center/server ms

[halcyon willow]

Anyone familiar with modding the G Pro Superlight?\

This shit sounds like a maraca lol

I think the battery is loose

[reef patrol]

Not impossible.

[halcyon willow]

But since I only have one extra pair of skates

[reef patrol]

There are plenty of videos showing how to swap them out. But you ... yeah you need to be careful with the skates. Might want to make use of warranty if you have it, if only to save costs.

[halcyon willow]

I want to know if anyone has tried that hotswap PCB that replaces the main clicks and the encoder

nah, i bought it second hand

But i should have gotten it retail lol

[reef patrol]

Got the original receipt?

[halcyon willow]

I bought it for 120 on OfferUp

no

[crisp granite]

[halcyon willow]

yeah i know im retarded

[crisp granite]

always get proof of purchase

always

[reef patrol]

Welp. Then you don't have much to lose. Buy some new skates and get ready to mod it.

[fickle ore]

[halcyon willow]

[fickle ore]

dude join mousereview discord

[reef patrol]

I wonder if there are any EU sellers of that. Too pricy for imports.

[halcyon willow]

didnt know they had one, thanks

[reef patrol]

But I do have... three Pro mice where two of them have issues with the scroll wheel 😄

[halcyon willow]

https://tenor.com/view/snatch-movies-ok-talking-gif-12953614

[reef patrol]

One of these is not like the others (meaning one is fully functional )

[halcyon willow]

still jealous

[reef patrol]

On one hand I gotta give it to Logitech. I got the Pro back in January, and they've replaced it twice no questions asked.

[fickle ore]

@reef patrol lets goo

[halcyon willow]

so lucky

[reef patrol]

On the OTHER hand, this mouse should last a tad longer before requiring a replacement 😄

[reef patrol]

No cheesegraters pls

[halcyon willow]

what issues have you been having?

[crisp granite]

it's....
c'mon just get an M3K when it comes out

it'll be infinitely better

[fickle ore]

m3k aint wireless bruv

im too casual for non

[crisp granite]

and that means no battery weighing the mouse down

[halcyon willow]

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

[fickle ore]

[halcyon willow]

will the m3k be wireless tho

[crisp granite]

...no
and that's a good thing

[halcyon willow]

It should be

[crisp granite]

save the weight, avoid the mouse running out of battery mid game

[halcyon willow]

less weight, more battery life

[crisp granite]

that's a genuine enthusiast with nothing better to do but churn out content

[halcyon willow]

8k hz, optical switches, sub 15g wireless M3K when

[halcyon willow]

they say avoid his audio and mousepad reviews

and that his 4090 custom loop was badly done

and i agree with them

He used the wrong screws for the rad lol

TDP or wattage?

[crisp granite]

[halcyon willow]

I honestly can't say much about that since I don't know what PCAT is exactly, but I do follow his undervolting advice, especially since I'm also in an ITX PC

He was good for me when I first got into PCs and setups, but I try to be weary now

please send the link again, didnt get a chance to see

So it is worse PCAT wise? How much power is it pulling exactly?

over 500 watts power draw? am i reading that right lol

gonna be honest I don't know what I'm reading
