[steep creek]

it can but you have to do it from settings afaik

[pale sigil]

What

[steep creek]

the control center only turns it off for a day ish, settings turns if completely off

[ashen spindle]

yes

[steep creek]

funny it mentions the apple pencil on an iphone

[astral haven]

Thought it was enabled on all the pro phones?

[pale sigil]

I should do this

Brb

[wheat plume]

Why TF does the Control Center toggle only toggle it for a day????

thats so dumb

[pale sigil]

Because Apple

[ashen spindle]

because thats what most users would actually want

[astral haven]

To have the experience be seamless, Apple only disables stuff that it thinks people want always on temporarily easily

[wheat plume]

If I turn any toggle off, I dont want it to come back on automatically

so no, thats dumb

[ashen spindle]

you are not most users

[astral haven]

Windows now supports it for wifi

[astral haven]

What about if you have a limited data plan but you want wifi off for some reason but you want it to come back in an hour or 2

[wheat plume]

then turn it on yourself

[ashen spindle]

just like most people who use night mode dont want to use it when the next day is bright, or how people dont mean to put the phone in flight mode forever

[steep creek]

no, only ipads support the pencil

[ashen spindle]

if you go to the quick access menu, chances are high you want to quickly change something not permanentely

[astral haven]

Oh wow Google photos app can't handle the moire

[wheat plume]

the what?

[hardy idol]

this then?

is edp?

[astral haven]

Look at the picture and see the janky sharpened bs
The stuff that it's sharpening where there's no actual stuff there is moire from the pixels

[astral haven]

That is a connector that carries edp, there's no formal connector standard

[wheat plume]

the windows wifi panel photo?

[astral haven]

Yes

[wheat plume]

oh

[hardy idol]

Oh right

[ashen spindle]

just like your pc behavior is not indicative of what normal pc users do as you use linux, UX is primarily made for what most people do not what a poweruser would want

[astral haven]

https://photographylife.com/what-is-moire

[wheat plume]

the toggles in the Windows toggle menu are permanent toggles too

non of them turn back on automatically

[astral haven]

Not if you hit the button that makes them temporary that I was literally just showing you...

[wheat plume]

yeah but you must manually do that

Apple assume you want it, and you may not

[astral haven]

Once

[ashen spindle]

and unlike an iphone you usually dont carry a pc around with you through an airplane or similar

[astral haven]

Once you set it once, it defaults to that until you change it again

[wheat plume]

laptops

[ashen spindle]

laptops change that sure but not desktops

then you get into whats the main user, is it a laptop that moves or not

[astral haven]

This is a desktop lel

[wheat plume]

Yeah, makes sense

[hardy idol]

ahh. I guess I'll keep the ram, ssd and the screen then lmao

[ashen spindle]

with a phone you can be completely sure that aint stationary lmfao

[hardy idol]

what
you don't hard mount your phone to your desk?

[wheat plume]

yeah, but make it a permanent toggle by defautl and give the user the choice to make it temporary for one time or fulltime if they want

Cant believe im saying this but I agree with the Windows and Android way of doing this

[ashen spindle]

then you first need to know that even is a setting you would seek out

if you are looking at it with what you want, it's the wrong look

[wheat plume]

Just show it when the user clicks the toggle, duh

[astral haven]

Which they did

Lmao

[wheat plume]

on Windows., yeah

[astral haven]

Does this look like windows to you?

[wheat plume]

I dont see options to make it permanent or temporary here

[ashen spindle]

you just assumed most people would buy an iphone for colored imessage bubbles, you cant then assume the default behaviour for those people would be some power user who wants to touch setttings more than needed

[wheat plume]

for iMessage yes, the bubble colors are just a side effect

[ashen spindle]

same thing

[astral haven]

Yea, press and hold the button you get more options

[steep creek]

i keep bt, location services & wifi on at all times. only thing i would like to actually turn off from the control center is cellular data

[cursive summit]

https://www.businessinsider.com/youtube-suspend-creators-who-dont-disclose-ai-generated-video-content-2023-11 lol what

[ashen spindle]

point was it doesnt make sense to assume most users are super simple minded then assume UX should be made for power users

[wheat plume]

if you see a toggle, most people are going to assume it wont automatically toggle itself back after a period of time

its a toggle, not a timer

[cursive summit]

Ah of course YouTube is cracking down on the fun

"YouTube music partners such as record labels or distributors will be able to request the takedown of AI-generated music content "that mimics an artist's unique singing or rapping voice.""

[wheat plume]

thats so vague..

[ashen spindle]

yes so this clearly states its temporary...

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I know...
Im just saying that permanent should be default behavior and users can choose via a popup when the toggle is clicked to use a time instead

[wheat plume]

and make it remember that option

[cursive summit]

Well this naming scheme isn't totally absolutely random

[steep creek]

i remember when it would turn on 4g on its own too 😂 thankfully does not happen anymore

[wheat plume]

so the popup doesnt need to show each time

[ashen spindle]

you want it to be that way != it should be that way

obviously the popup is not every time..

[astral haven]

It definetly shouldn't be that way for wifi
The memes about being horrified about your wifi having been off are pretty much gone now

And Bluetooth on ios provides all the listed services, including find my, which is really really useful

[ashen spindle]

if you can come up with some simple UI design that is like a toggle but also makes it clear its temporary, sure that would be better

cant think of one though

and personally I can say I much prefer this way

[hasty locust]

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Monitor-FreeSync-Premium-M3bmiiprx/dp/B0C4Z8RFY9/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div

Good monitor ?

[steep creek]

agreed i prefer it this way as well

[hardy idol]

guys and gals

do you think when black friday deals are going to be on peak

and how much you on average save on pc parts

[ashen spindle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat plume]

I like the Android way of showing an arrow on the toggle to indicate it makes a popup with options when clicked

And they all can be held down to get directly to the relevant settings page

[ashen spindle]

wait you mean like I can hold it down on ios and get more infos and also the settings page for it if I want?

such difference

[hardy idol]

It's preference anyway

useless discussion

[ashen spindle]

yes

[hardy idol]

I like my S23U but I would've been just as fine with an iphone

[ashen spindle]

and clearly apple found what most people prefer or it would be changed in regards to temporary settings

or rather what is a preferable experience for most users

I understand the logic why one would not want that sure

but that's just not the case for most users

[pale sigil]

For once I'm with quin on this

If anything I prefer that

Holding Vs clicking the arrow

[wheat plume]

Same on Android
But it makes it clear if a toggle has more options

Like this one

[ashen spindle]

cool I really dont care either way xD

im not the average phone user just like you arent just in a totally different way

[pale sigil]

Ye but it sucks I can't hold

I have to click the little arrow

@wheat plume

Because of my iPad and miui I still to this day hold the WiFi button wanting a mini menu XD

That's a preference thing though

[ashen spindle]

https://vxtwitter.com/System360Cheese/status/1724491521460785162 anyway for some actual tech posting

[pale sigil]

We can all agree anything is better than Samsung

[hardy idol]

Nah

[pale sigil]

I hate Samsung's drop down menu so much

[hardy idol]

S23U has been really nice

[pale sigil]

It's so 2016

[hardy idol]

Not all progress is good.

[wheat plume]

What?

The popup happens no matter where on the toggle you click if the toggle has an arrow

[pale sigil]

Ok true but I wanna hold

Click should be to turn it off and on

Hold to change WiFi

[astral haven]

Wdym?

That's exactly what it does

What Samsung doesn't do is provide software updates to their older phones

[gusty kiln]

Been waiting for a good deal on the s23u

[hardy idol]

My previous phone broke so I had no choice

[astral haven]

I await the cameras launching beginning of next year

Xperia vi and s24u hype

[gusty kiln]

My s20 fe will no longer get OS updates

Also waiting to see the s24

And just drop 1200 or whatever

[astral haven]

My s21u is currently running 14 get rekt

[gusty kiln]

Cut off by 1 gen

[astral haven]

Also you'd be shocked, they've been going back and adding extra years to older phones

Not quite that old yet but who knows

[gusty kiln]

It's also the FE version, though it did sell really well at the time

But buying flagships will be better for trade in value later down the line

[astral haven]

Fe I'm pretty sure is exynos, so no Qualcomm bs?

[gusty kiln]

In the US it's sd 865

Everywhere else got rekt with the exynos

5g version

[astral haven]

You'd be surprised, exynos has its advantages sometimes

[gusty kiln]

Well battery life is like #1-2 for me so I'm happy with the 865

[wheat plume]

oo the new expanded view is in stable now?

Also, didnt Microsoft remove the Skip option in the new Windows 11 builds?

[reef patrol]

No.

They just keep hiding it.

[wheat plume]

behind terminal commands this time

[astral haven]

Nah I'm on beta, but it's samsungs old device beta which is basically the same as launch

[wheat plume]

how old is old for them?

More than a year or two old?

[astral haven]

Basically yea

Worked out the bugs with the s23 beta users, then once they were mostly done moved on to 22 and now 21

[wheat plume]

ahh ok

and then next year, 21 wont be included maybe

[astral haven]

That's the plan

But Samsung has been adding devices to the list over time so who knows

[gusty kiln]

They might extend device support as well

[thick elk]

Does the business user > domain > local option still work?

[gusty kiln]

Now that Google went to 7 years

@astral haven random question, in your experience which hard drives are the quietest?

[astral haven]

the slowest ones 🤣

laptop 2.5 5400 rpms

[hardy idol]

had it, excellent phone until it broke

screen broke

and then I got a Zenfone 9 which was excellent but it didn't like water

[gusty kiln]

Hmmm, an array of 2.5" 5tb drives

[astral haven]

nope

[hardy idol]

so now I'm on an S23U

[astral haven]

the 5tbs are 7200 im pretty sure

[gusty kiln]

Oh

[astral haven]

3.5 5400 is quieter and faster than 2.5 7200

[astral haven]

tho im not sure, tbh there are probably 5400 rpm versions now

but the actual answer is just get an ssd

[gusty kiln]

Price is almost there

[astral haven]

Also you can fit I think 8 m. 2 ssds now in a single 3.5 bay

[gusty kiln]

What adapter?

[astral haven]

Oh nope just 4 still

https://www.owc.com/solutions/u2-shuttle

The 16 bay $1200 or something pcie card is still the best deal in terms of max m.2 for the bandwidth

[gusty kiln]

[astral haven]

Oh wait no it's 1800

Still technically more drives per dollar if you include all the expansion cards required

But spensiver than just buying a bigger motherboard and more passive cards

https://www.apexstoragedesign.com/apex-storage-x16-gen4

[vagrant pagoda]

Then slap 4 if those cards in a 5.0 expansion chassis

64 nvme over a 5.0 x16

[smoky frigate]

running a 5400 3.5" helium-filled HDD in my computer at all times, it is slow as balls and I can still hear it when accessing files. avoid unless you need a lot of space cheap, you ain't getting it quiet

[hardy idol]

helium filled?

quick upgrade is fill it with alcohol

peel off the seal and start pouring

[smoky frigate]

that's what always helps for me too!

[steel folio]

hello

[astral haven]

helium isnt quieter, in fact in theory its louder since the parts can move faster

what you are hearing is the head

i have a helium 7200 drive that is completely inaudible since i have it resting on a foam pad for example

[steel folio]

@fading grotto hi bud could you help me please

[reef patrol]

(Please don't ping staff)

[steel folio]

oh didnt realise sorry

[reef patrol]

It's in the #❗│important, which I sure hope you read 😉

[steel folio]

its been a long time since i have been here, il go read them agian, sorry

[hardy idol]

@steel folio You know the engine in your profile picture isn't a 5L V8 right

in fact BMW never made a 5L V8

[steel folio]

Yep they did the m62 I belive had a v8

Oh my bad thats 4.4 you might be correct

[vagrant pagoda]

BMW made the M70, 5L v12 and s85, 5L v10

The s62 was a 4.95L v8

Though 5-5.2 is common with m62 based builds

[steel folio]

Yeah I was thinking but yep I think he's right no 5l v8 bmws

[hardy idol]

would could but also doesn't

[vagrant pagoda]

Huh?

I was close

4.94

#🔌│tech message

Derp my bad lol

I thought it was one message

But you can't link in a reply with text

[hardy idol]

I figured whatever blackfriday deal I might get wasn't worth waiting for longer, also because stock on some stuff almost ran out. I had the last item on 2 parts

So I guess within the next week or so, parts should be arriving

most shops already had blackfriday deals running anyway

oh, not a lot of great deals here tbh

I saved some over if I had ordered it last month but

not much

So this seems to be the final list

Of which the first 3 rows will be swapped out once the new AMD cpus launch

My friend wants them as an upgrade package for his pc so that's also already sorted out

[ashen spindle]

why do you want to swap out ram and mobo

you can just keep them, thats the point getting the same socket no?

[solemn remnant]

if you have fuck you money then it doesn't matter I guess

[ashen spindle]

that explains why my c drive was getting full

had a few of those where I accidentally recorded like half an hour instead of just a clip

[hardy idol]

I'll see what happens I can always tell him I only sell the cpu

but won't Zen 5 introduce a new chipset

[hardy idol]

I don't really

I just make irresponsible choices

[vagrant pagoda]

New chipset yes, not new socket

[ashen spindle]

^

maybe some board will have more stuff you want but unlikely

zen4,5 and 6 will be on the same socket though

[hardy idol]

I'll see

True

is this

[cursive summit]

Prolly also 7

[hardy idol]

what is

Does that really work?

in real use cases

[ashen spindle]

there is no indication 7 will be on the same socket still

[cursive summit]

Cause AM4 had 4 gens on it so it'd be a pity if AM5 didn't

[ashen spindle]

that means literally nothing

[hardy idol]

for what reason

[vagrant pagoda]

Depends on ddr6 really

Am5 will likely get pcie 6 and maybe 7

[ashen spindle]

nah 7 is way too far out

idk if it even gets 6

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean am4

Got 4 and 5

[hardy idol]

But idk I ordered a 4TB 990 Pro now

[ashen spindle]

am4 got 3 and 4

[hardy idol]

ah yeah doesn't come in 4TB size

[vagrant pagoda]

Derp yeah

[ashen spindle]

am5 aint getting 3 pcie specs

[vagrant pagoda]

Still

[ashen spindle]

7 wont do enough to make sense on consumer boards

[hardy idol]

it's speed is something sure but the 4TB is my storage drive

it'll be fine

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean 5 barely dose

[ashen spindle]

if it even gets out in time for that

[hardy idol]

I can still cancel if T700 4TB price is right

The price eh

it was 239 now

so 590

is uh

I would've upgraded to a 4090 before getting a t700 4tb too

but don't have that much money

[ashen spindle]

another random "clip" lel

[hardy idol]

that's just video?

[ashen spindle]

yup just a clip where I hit the wrong hotkey instead of just saving the 2 minute shadowplay lel

[cursive summit]

https://www.anandtech.com/show/21141/sk-hynix-ships-lpddr5t-9600-mts-for-smartphones

Why smartphones

Desktop doesn't have these speeds yet

[gusty kiln]

cuz those are soldered to the board

if you want those speed, you'll have to go apple

EVGA kingpin

[cursive summit]

Lol, Intel has no power efficiency

[hardy idol]

lmao

[cursive summit]

Consumes more power for far less cores and worse results

[gusty kiln]

800 is not that bad

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=121-RL-E799-KR

[cursive summit]

I wonder what CPUs are A64FX and P9 22C

[hardy idol]

what slot?

[ashen spindle]

false

[gusty kiln]

compare to the stupid 1000+ from asus/giga/MSI

[ashen spindle]

that power is for the whole system but the score is only half the system running

[gusty kiln]

look at my link

[hardy idol]

ah i see

[ashen spindle]

as ian himself mentioned for the post where that picture is from

[fickle ore]

@halcyon moss https://skypad.gg/products/skypad-skates figured you might be interested, we talked a while ago nobody had uhmwpe 🐾

[cursive summit]

So it still has less score than AMD with more power consumption

[ashen spindle]

it is half the system running and is about half the score

[cursive summit]

That.. still is less score than AMD with far more power lol

2 megawatts is a lotta power

[ashen spindle]

no its about the same score

[cursive summit]

Exactly doubled it's still less, even if by a tiny margin

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter anyway PVC is a joke and no other system will use it

[cursive summit]

For 2 megawatts more?

[ashen spindle]

it's not going to be on the dot 2x of it

[hardy idol]

Yeah it's a good idea tbh
people using this won't mind the memory there anyway noone buying that is gonna throw air cooling

[cursive summit]

Well more like 90%

[fickle ore]

Dude, Intel's been killing it lately. Nothing like NV tho.

[ashen spindle]

also max flops isnt the only score that matters not like you have only one sort of instruction on those systems

[cursive summit]

Oh good lord https://t.co/N8sSgFcoQt

1050$ starting price?

[fickle ore]

Nice?

isnt that kinda cheap or

[cursive summit]

Eh.. I don't see what's exciting about meteor lake

[smoky frigate]

A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it.``` the EU law coming into effect by 2027 for user-replaceable batteries in phones doesn't look so amazing tbh. but at least you won't need to do any flashing. arse biscuit

[cursive summit]

The packaging is cool but Meteor Lake is otherwise very uninteresting

So these come with alchemist GPU cores?

How many

[fickle ore]

Hope many, so I get my gf to play something else than hamster playground with me

[cursive summit]

128EUs on the top model, Xe-LPG arch

Some kind of cut down low power version of HPG desktop GPU arch

[astral haven]

That looks poorly worded, however analyzing the grammar it actually seems airtight

This

Mfw Samsung stops selling anything besides the active series in eu

[cursive summit]

Ew the top meteor lake has 128 cut down clusters

Low end A580 has 384 of non-cut-down clusters

[astral haven]

🤷 igpu fam

[vagrant pagoda]

Active has glued battery

But that's about it

[astral haven]

I mean the successors to the active series

[vagrant pagoda]

I know but I miss my s8 active:(

[astral haven]

The ones which can be used without batteries

[ashen spindle]

300gb of free space reclaimed by deleting unneeded clips lmao was about time to do this

[astral haven]

Xcover what a godawful name for a series

[ashen spindle]

and got like 200gb more to sort out

[gloomy cypress]

not sure if this is the right place for this but has anyone tried the final mouse ultralightx and is it worth the price?

[vagrant pagoda]

And $$$$

[astral haven]

Battery removed in 20 seconds including an explanation of the back cover

[hardy idol]

one of my first smartphones did it in 1

if you dropped it right

[astral haven]

Yea...

I'd be happy to pay 2 grand for an s24ultra with a swappable battery, hp jack, and msd card slot and no cripplings

Or the same for an Xperia vi with the rumored specs and the battery swappable

That is ofc as long as the phone can boot without the battery

[mild dome]

Fools be like
"WHY DO YOU NEED A HEADPHONE JACK, JUST USE BLUETOOOTHHH 🤓 !"

bros don't know, I already spent a few hundred bucks on a cabled headphone, I am not replacing it

[astral haven]

Just buy a Bluetooth adapter for your headphones

It's like $20

[mild dome]

No, I already have a perfectly working cable

[vagrant pagoda]

Headphones for FM radio

[ashen spindle]

use the included 3.5 adapter in the phone box?

[vagrant pagoda]

Nice during big storms and shit

[astral haven]

Then you can't charge and listen simultaneously

[fickle ore]

https://www.gsmarena.com/xmems_announce_worlds_first_ultrasound_solidstate_speaker_for_tws_earbuds-news-60577.php
Cool breh

new audio tech

[ashen spindle]

charging and listening is still a usecase where I dont get when that happens aside from maybe if you are on a long trip and charge on train or something

if that happens sure, but doesnt seem to me like that would happen often

[astral haven]

Or when I just got home and my 0hone is about to die and I want to listen to music or watch YouTube after a long day

[hardy idol]

so you can headphone jack off

ok very childish

I don't have a headphone jack sadly

[vagrant pagoda]

I have speakers at home XD

[astral haven]

still means you need to buy an extra adapter to listen to music that is on your phone

my s8 came with passable audio
and i mean including the output device
good old akg days

got one in my wallet permanently now

formerly kept a btr3 in my backpack, now the btr3k fits in my wallet

[final flame]

They're nice and convenient

[ashen spindle]

nice, no longer half a terrabyte of shadowplay clip lmfao

[wheat plume]

Meanwhile I have my headphones and my earphones
And still can't listen to music on my phone cause I forgot my earbuds .-.

Fuck having no headphone jack .-.

[final flame]

Having no headphone jack is fine when they would've just added the worst possible 3.5 out anyways

[wheat plume]

Idc
At least I'd have some way to listen to shit on my phone

I have two pairs of earphones
Yet I can't use them on this phone

[ashen spindle]

why not this, make it usbc and give phones two usbc ports

[smoky frigate]

there are plenty of decent options, some of them rivaling desktop-tier dacs at a fraction of the price

[ashen spindle]

more universal ports rather than weird sinlge use cases

[wheat plume]

Yes

And to make it worse
Some phones refuse to use headphones jack to USB C adapters

They just send a notification saying playback is not allowed over this device

Wat

[misty saffron]

https://fxtwitter.com/d0znpp/status/1724262125793575141

lmao i thought the poster is clueless

and thinking hallucinated output is real

turns out it’s actually real

[ashen spindle]

lol

yeah it gets confusing what is hallucinated and what is just a direct response

[final flame]

That's a support Google page, check if that's a random persons response first

[final flame]

To my knowledge the pixels should have support for all the dongles

[wheat plume]

I tried my dongle on a friend's pixel and it just said it can't use it for playback

[final flame]

What dongle was it?

[wheat plume]

The one that came with my Xiaomi phone ....

[final flame]

Probably isn't able to send enough power over to the dongle

Or the dac it's using isn't supported

[wheat plume]

Google sell their own jack to c dongle
Assuming that works on their own phones

Would be real dumb if it didn't

[crisp granite]

...why is this mobo taking way too long to ship out

[vagrant pagoda]

https://vxtwitter.com/androidmalware2/status/1724354519964807551

[wheat plume]

This setting will always look so strange to me

[misty saffron]

It is also possible to start Denial of Pleasure by continuously broadcasting the stop packet

lmfao

[wheat plume]

:')

[vagrant pagoda]

XD

Imagine setting up a city wide ddop system

[wheat plume]

This is super trippy

I kinda like it

[misty saffron]

literally 1984

though, a missed opportunity in those flipper zero scripts: should’ve also added a toy detector as well

[vagrant pagoda]

Or imagine setting up a bunch of phased array antennas and rasing and lower the intensity based on area

[wheat plume]

Til I can just hide the notch....
This is cool
But it makes it look like I'm holding my phone upside down cause now the top bezel is so big

[mild dome]

Implement this technology at the next Chess championship and you could really ruin the day of that one cheater

[misty saffron]

ruin how exactly?

don’t think toys can do that

[vagrant pagoda]

There is a joke that a guy used a butt plug to get information wirelessly

[hardy idol]

it's not a joke

[vagrant pagoda]

Was there ever proof?

[hardy idol]

no but it's definitely more than a joke

they made a fucking case out of it

[mild dome]

IRC one of the other grandmasters accused him of using beads inside his cavities to receive information in morse code after he lost to the accused. So yeah it was a pretty serious but bizarre accusation

[empty wren]

Good on them for making the phone thicker

Space for a thicker battery

[astral haven]

Doubt that tbh, that seems rather thin

That is definetly thinner in total than 2 of the camera modules my phone has unless it's like 7 inches tall

Largest cam is 1/1.6" rumored
Pretty solidly low end

Imo camera bumps are fine as long as case manufacturers can build around it

[misty saffron]

so... you know how redmagic phones are generally huge?

that's 100% not a 5 inch phone

[astral haven]

Yes

7 inches vertical is like 9 diagonal

[misty saffron]

looks thick as fuck considering it's huge too

unless they'd decided to make a small phone which wouldn't really makes sense for gaming

[final flame]

I doubt redmagic would target gamers as their demographic

[astral haven]

It looks identical to their previous phone

what i want to see from chinese phones is reviews of the vivo x100 pro with the 50 megapixel 100mm macro f2.5

[final flame]

*Somebody complains about a large camera bump
Puts case on phone *

[astral haven]

100mm f2.5 is actually pretty serious light gathering ability

did someone say camera bump? lel

[solemn remnant]

ooh I personally love these

[empty wren]

Donta some cases actually augment the bump

[astral haven]

thats a choice you can make lel

[true quest]

a huge mistake is the answer

[empty wren]

Well it is one way to keep a phone body fairly thin

And prevent it from sliding when naked

[astral haven]

yea the problem is its super dumb to run one of these style phones naked

[empty wren]

Well some people like to hold designers intent

[true quest]

i would be damned to set my naked phone back camera down

[astral haven]

if the designer's intent is to build a fragile device, they are stupid

[empty wren]

Fair personally would not mind a plastic phone or metal unibody

[astral haven]

or employed by an idiot

they might just be doing their job to be fair

no metal unibody for me, i like wireless charging

and id be happy to go back to plastic if they would make phones out of plastic with flagship cameras

[empty wren]

I remember when Samsung had their rugged galaxy version

That was an interesting time

[astral haven]

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_xcover6_pro-11600.php
aah the long distant past of 2022

[empty wren]

Or the active line

[dreamy tendon]

yeah i remember the samsung active line, i would see commercials about em

most memorable one was when they used it as a hockey puck

[mild dome]

That's more of a lump

[fair gull]

its just cyberpunk becoming real

[crisp granite]

actual implementation is the sketchiest shit on earth

[astral haven]

better than sms ofc

[astral haven]

hopefully this goes the way of literally every feature of an iphone and apple ignores the feature until enough people start using it, then they implement it themselves and either hide it under the accessibility menu or show it off as a revolution

[fair gull]

?

[crisp granite]

...the entire thing works off of having macs in a data centre running instances and just putting your messages through them, via your icloud account

Apple fucking loves this
they're probably laughing all the way to the bank
and hoping everyone gets in on this

[astral haven]

nah

how many instances can a single mac mini run?

and how much does a mac mini cost?

its not a mac when apple does it, apple actually has their own dedicated server hardware internally

they just dont sell it any more

real sad stuff

the apple server hardware was actually excellent

yup

[halcyon moss]

No, no I'm not interested in mouse skates

[fair gull]

unsure why apple would ever offer this themselves on android. their best interest is getting users into the apple ecosystem not giving them an easy out

[astral haven]

facetime is now available on android*

[astral haven]

why would apple allow you to install apps from 3rd party developers?
answer is because someone else did it first and was making money

[fair gull]

also facetime isnt really available on android

all you can do is join a call an apple user hosts

[astral haven]

🤷 thats better than it was before

and it was available first with hacky bs

[fair gull]

thats basically like apple making it so you can receive imessages but not send them

[crisp granite]

the EU is a massive market
you can't really say no

[astral haven]

no debil

not that

[fair gull]

totally useless and it wont make any apple user consider a switch

[astral haven]

waaaaaaay further back

in the olden days, there were only apple apps on the iphone

developers couldnt pay any amount of money to get an app on the iphone

then cydia came along and proved it was easy, and apple just copied it and pretended it was the invention of the century

[astral haven]

youd be surprised

[fair gull]

not why 3rd party apps are on iphone

the iphone had third party apps since almost its release

and as i recall it was mostly backlash to the dumb idea of safari webapps

[astral haven]

but that baclkash was implemented first by cydia

and not first by apple

it wasnt really backlash against apple until cydia did it (tho that was a very very quick turnaround from them) lel

[fair gull]

except cydia released in 2008 while apple announced the third party sdk in 2007

[astral haven]

wrong

well technically correct

the best kind of correct

originally the sdk was for webapps

[fair gull]

thats the one that everyone hated

[astral haven]

yep

[fair gull]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/apple-confirms-iphone-sdk-coming-next-year/

[astral haven]

and that was 2007

[fair gull]

here you go

not webapp sdk

the actual iphone sdk

so while cydia released before the app store apple didnt move because of cydia

it was purely developers

[astral haven]

you may say that but 3rd party apps came first

[astral haven]

this was after people were already sideloading

[fair gull]

yes sideloading not using a third party store that didnt exist

[astral haven]

cydia didnt invent the sideloading, cydia invented the 1 location to go to to get it

[fair gull]

cydia store was also after apples app store iirc

by a year or 2

as far as i know it was just an alternative installer in the beginning

not to mention that this is advancements in their own ecosystem

not them having the app store on android

[astral haven]

oh sure

[fair gull]

i dont see apple doing imessage on android and if they do itll require a subscription

[astral haven]

its not like android was completely irrelevant at the time and the big focus was on blackberry or anything

[fair gull]

they didnt do blackberry apps either though

apple has always cared for well apple

[astral haven]

apple

not apple users

just apple

[fair gull]

thats the big idea

keep people in the apple ecosystem

make it hard to move out

[astral haven]

nah

just maximize money

if someone else is making money by having imessage on android, they will replace that

[fair gull]

idk man the last times i had to move people from iphones to android it was a pain which was like a year to 1.5years ago

[fair gull]

nope i bet theyll just remove the possibilty of running it the way its ran

[astral haven]

they didnt do that for facetime

[fair gull]

for example require security chips or serial nos

[astral haven]

or apple watch

[fair gull]

facetime still isnt facetime

[astral haven]

and you can still use 3rd party software to do the janky solution

[fair gull]

its facetime if you amputate everything

[astral haven]

but apple did provide a first party alternative to the janky bs

[fair gull]

not if they start binding 1 serialno to 1 phonenumber.

no one could feasibly run the service as it is ran now

[astral haven]

as it is run now definetly

but this service is not the first method of blue bubbles on iphone, they are just making it more convenient

[fair gull]

i strongly believe apple will just make the service more and more strict in terms of how you can access it etc. to the point sunbird and nothing cant exist

[astral haven]

and if apple starts removing blue bubbles from old iphones, people will riot

[fair gull]

ngl this is the first time ever i heard of this kinda thing so id imagine its the first time it really blows up

the old iphones still have serialnos so plenty ways to tighten it down

[astral haven]

yea because previous versions required that you bought or had an iphone to stick in a drawer, and a cell plan for it

[fair gull]

i can bet itll be that way again in the end

[astral haven]

possibly

but if enough people get it, apple wont just ignore it

and nothing is planning on releasing it to a relatively large audience

[fair gull]

im aware but i believe apple wont ever make a fully or even decently functional/usable imessage for anything but apple devices

[astral haven]

well that will be decided by european courts lel

but in the us? maybe

[fair gull]

idk if i trust the EU to rectify all the issues

[astral haven]

nope

but screwing it up on accident is better than intentionally

[fair gull]

i mean i wish they had specified the whole usb-c thing better as well

[astral haven]

for hard laws its better to underspecify and then ammend rather than overspecify and have to make the laws over again

[boreal kiln]

https://youtu.be/-d4nncIGTFQ

[halcyon willow]

haha, mortex

he's in a couple of the discords I frequent

[boreal kiln]

first review of the design thats going on sale

all the previous vids were on an earlier version

the design looks good but i wonder what the long term durability will be like for the finger contact areas since they can flex a bit

[astral haven]

itll likely be fine

anyone have custom firmware for razer yet that doesnt have the trojan?

[halcyon willow]

https://github.com/Meetem/RazerBladeSharp

try

[astral haven]

no

the mouse installs software on its own

[halcyon willow]

I'm sorry.

[astral haven]

i want to stop that

or more specifically im not buying a razer mouse until that doesnt happen any more

[halcyon willow]

https://christitus.com/block-razer-bloatware/

[astral haven]

yea that doesnt modify the hardware

fuck this

[old marlin]

A singular windows setting is really hard

[astral haven]

does that solve the problem i mentioned?

[old marlin]

Yes

No device will be able to do that if you just change a single setting

[astral haven]

so if i plug it into a random computer at work the problem will not occur?

[old marlin]

If that random computer has that setting changed

It's a windows issue as much as it is a razer issue

[astral haven]

its microsofts responsibility to never let this happen again, but its razers responsibility to not do this

[old marlin]

Well then maybe move to a timeline where the average person is expected to be able to download a software on their own

Cause that is the core issue at hand

[astral haven]

why?

[old marlin]

Shit educational systems?

[astral haven]

none of my current input devices require installation of software except for my vr headset

and that one is kinda understandable

and even that one just requests that the software be installed, it doesnt install it on its own

[wheat plume]

Would a 65w phone charger be able to charge a laptop?

At full speed of the 65w power brick it comes with

Cause the laptop charger is clunky as hell....
Got the long thick cable and the brick halfway along it too

[reef patrol]

Depends entirely on the power draw of the laptop.

I'd expect the poor phone charger to melt.

[astral haven]

check the voltages
some 65w are 12v 5a and 5w on the second port or some bs like that
and many laptops need 20v
but also 20v3a is a very normal spec line to have

[halcyon moss]

Most of the time it works for more recent laptops

Even trickle charging when off for example..

My previous laptop was really picky on what usb c charging it accepted, current laptop is waaaay less picky

Some laptops have a 35w charging brick

[wheat plume]

Hmmm ok I can check the charger brick in a bit

[umbral heron]

Also depends if laptop has circuitry to charge through USB
I charge my Thinkpad with Deck's charger
But yeah, as Carmonben said depends on which voltages can chargers negotiate, it's usually 5, 9 and 12 V nowadays in all of them

[halcyon moss]

Just try it

[hardy idol]

Oh yeah

[wheat plume]

Yeh
USB C is the only way to charge this laptop
It doesn't have a barrel plug typically used

[astral haven]

it likely can charge from anything while its powered down

[halcyon moss]

Hell, my gaming laptop can gain charge when I'm lightly using it when being charged with the SteamDeck brick

[halcyon moss]

Just try it lana

[wheat plume]

Is that safe to try it?

[astral haven]

yes

[umbral heron]

lgtm
The worst can happen is internal breaker in adapter will pop

[halcyon moss]

Yes, usbc power delivery is quite safe

[wheat plume]

Ok good

[thick elk]

Never use the steam deck's charging brick as the european plug just doesn't fit nicely in it's case. use a xiaomi gan charger instead which fits much better.

[reef patrol]

You mean the official one doesn't fit...in the deck?

[thick elk]

Wouldn't say it completely doesn't fit, but the european plug makes it taller

[umbral heron]

Counterpoint: Deck's brick was included for free

[old marlin]

bigger issue imo is the length of the cable

but

[umbral heron]

They fixed it with OLED revision too

[old marlin]

lol

it really seems a lot better

but I don't feel a big need to upgrade tbh

[thick elk]

Same, if it were not for the fact that I have a lot of money from work to spend on these things, and I can resell the old one for actual money without loosing to much, even if the resell price drops a bit.

[umbral heron]

If it weren't for the CS skins I would skip OLED too

[thick elk]

CS skins with the oled?

[umbral heron]

That I could pay for OLED with CS skins

[thick elk]

Oh as in skin trading giving you steam wallet, yea fair enough.

Heard something about that too from someone else.

[old marlin]

ah

[umbral heron]

Ah yes, the most important thing

[old marlin]

[thick elk]

They just threw in a generic Chicony adapter before.

[umbral heron]

But now it'll be a generic Chicony adapter ✨with a logo✨

[wheat plume]

^

Its the same adapter but logo cable + logo

sadly the cable is still not detachable ;-;

[thick elk]

I personally don't care about it at all. Already have my usb-c chargers, don't need any worse stock chargers.
It's not like a decent usb-c charger is exepnsive or anything.

[severe phoenix]

People are upset about the sd OLED buying rules

Needing an account one month old and having made a purchase

Saying it's anti consumer

Lol

[thick elk]

It's definitely anti scalper

[severe phoenix]

Yeah it helps a little bit for sure

[thick elk]

The requirement would be dropped later on, probably.

[severe phoenix]

Won't stop the good ones, but will stop a lot of small ones

Yeah

[crimson wigeon]

Let's be real if you're interested in deck you have no problems meeting those requirements

[thick elk]

Edge-case would be a console gamer trying pc for the first time in form of a steam deck

[crimson wigeon]

Else just wait in line

[thick elk]

that being said those probably would not want to be first in line.

[frozen ingot]

most of which probably got an account for the first gen deck already

[thick elk]

I am saying edge case for a reason.

it's not going to be a large group

[umbral heron]

A month now? It used to be a week iirc with LCD one

[frozen ingot]

yeah, as far as anti-scalping measures go it ain't the worst either I would think

[thick elk]

Basically got to have an acount since before the announcement rounded to one month

No way to anticipate by quickly buying something.

I know account trading is a thing, so you could probably buy a older steam account with almost nothing on it for cheap.

[umbral heron]

I found that one-month requirement is only for limited edition though

[umbral heron]

You still need a purchase before Nov 2023

[severe phoenix]

Some idiots are also suggesting current sd owners get priority invites

Lol

Like that. Makes any sense

[frozen ingot]

so it also only affects US customers which means even less people affected

guess you gotta have something to write about so you whip up what little drama you could muster

[thick elk]

Even if it applied to all oled models in all regions, it would still have been completely fine.

[umbral heron]

Yeah, I mean most of the people who even care about Steam ecosystem already does have Steam account for years
And those coming new will have no problem with waiting a month

[frozen ingot]

clearly they've already waited this long since they don't already got a deck from the first runs

[umbral heron]

They're not wasting time it seems

[analog sinew]

ah classic

[severe phoenix]

If they even got 40% of what they're asking, they'd be lucky 😛

[umbral flint]

Who wants this

Just release the new index already 😭

[umbral heron]

Me want
Still, I can just swap shell to transparent one, paint some elements in red and will be more or less the same
But if I'm doing that why not go beyond, and change shell to some nice color, change buttons etc.

[latent mural]

I have a 2k budget for a full out gaming pc what specs should i get?

I want intel and a rtx

[vagrant pagoda]

Obviously a steam deck oled

Lol

[umbral heron]

You can get even 3 with 2k

[latent mural]

No i wamt a pc

[latent mural]

No like a desktop

[old marlin]

buy a intel and a rtx

[latent mural]

Oh my fucking god this server is so fucking weird im gone

[umbral heron]

7800X3D and 4080? That'd be well in $2k

[old marlin]

I mean you seem to have to clue what you should buy, and then say that you want parts from specific manufacturers

[analog sinew]

the intel i7 7800x3d

[old marlin]

even though they are not necessarily the best for your given budget

[latent mural]

I want a higher end intel and a 40 something gpu

32 gb ram

2tb storage

[old marlin]

yea but like why intel

and why 40 something gpu

[latent mural]

Bc

Better gameplay

[old marlin]

ah right

[umbral heron]

[old marlin]

well look for your better gameplay parts then

[umbral heron]

Get 7800X3D and stop visiting userbenchmark

[latent mural]

?

[umbral heron]

For gaming PC? It's currently the best choice, and with a good price too
Don't go for Intel just because Intel or AMD just because AMD, get what's currently best for given task

[ashen spindle]

https://cachewarpattack.com/

[umbral heron]

[old marlin]

that is basically the case with most vulnerabilities

[umbral heron]

Still, CVE states Zen 4+ are not affected, and SEV is supported on EPYCs only

Kinda bummer there's no mitigation for Zen 1/2

[old marlin]

well

still a lot of older epyc systems out there?

[umbral heron]

Quite, but I doubt many of those make use of SEV

[old marlin]

[ashen spindle]

Eh not that many on first gens especially not in cloud servers where these attacks matter since those vendors would wait for more stable gens

[old marlin]

well gen 2 and 3 were quite popular

and VMs are prob the number 1 market for servers?

[umbral heron]

KVMs... sure. But lately it's more LXC, lots of enterprises just go with Proxmox and put all the LXCs they need

One of our prod clusters looks like this

[vagrant pagoda]

those can all use sev

[umbral heron]

LXCs do not use SEV, and for KVM/QEMU you have to explicitly specify that you want to use SEV
At least in case of Proxmox, I don't know how it looks like on other hypervisors

[vagrant pagoda]

Derp I got lxd and lxc swapped in your message.

[rancid snow]

anyone feel the difference between the tachyon mode on the wooting settings ?

[smoky frigate]

nope, but I enable it anyway since I don't lose anything I need

sadness, its a 2280 but its hard to swap 😭

but its 16 grand 😦

the original started out at 3k :/

but i wouldnt even get that one

the other new slomo company is cheaper

and thats butting up on low end phantom pricing

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1742786-REG/freefly_950_00114_ember_s5k_camera.html

and the ember can record direct to nvme constantly

and the wave is half the price

[vagrant pagoda]

I saw this, I still wonder if it will take 256/512 lrdimms

[vagrant pagoda]

4k at 1400 fps or 4k at 800 fps

It takes a full size dimm

The Soc uses a sodimm, and camera capture is a full size dimm

[astral haven]

yea but recording for 10 seconds or recording for 45 minutes

[vagrant pagoda]

That's only 10 seconds at 1400fps

You can't doing 4k raw at 1400 fps to nvme

Unless you go pcie 5

[astral haven]

the ember can record for 45 minutes
the wave can dvr perpetually

[vagrant pagoda]

If you look at the video for the teardown he talks about adding the ability to record directly to the SSD

[astral haven]

yea they are working on it

but its still more expensive than the ember

[vagrant pagoda]

But a 50% increase in frame rate is huge

[astral haven]

that is true

but a 9000% increase in record time is huger

for cheaper

[vagrant pagoda]

Also they are crazy with the price

[astral haven]

and with a higher max resolution

[astral haven]

not any more

[vagrant pagoda]

Look at the per unit cost of the fgpa

[astral haven]

not my problem

[vagrant pagoda]

So the fact that it's a better camera means that they should sell it at a loss just to compete lol

[astral haven]

no?

they should have designed it with cheaper parts or something

[vagrant pagoda]

Why

It's a better camera

[astral haven]

its substantially worse

[vagrant pagoda]

How

[astral haven]

its a better scientific tool

but you can shoot a feature length film on the ember no problem

and the wave is half the price

and also supports dvr to nvme mind you

[vagrant pagoda]

In raw?

[astral haven]

as raw as you need

[vagrant pagoda]

Wtf dose that mean

Is it raw or compressed

[astral haven]

those are two different questions

[vagrant pagoda]

I know it isn't raw because nvme isn't doing that

[astral haven]

but yes it supports raw

i can record raw on a sata ssd

[vagrant pagoda]

Not at the full frame rate of that camera

[astral haven]

in fact i can record raw on a sata hdd from my camera

[vagrant pagoda]

That would be like 20GB/s

[astral haven]

4k60 is around 50MB/s

500MB/s is ez pz

[vagrant pagoda]

It's a 800 fps camera

[astral haven]

ok so 600MB/s

[vagrant pagoda]

At 4k?

[astral haven]

yup

[vagrant pagoda]

How at like 1 bit

[astral haven]

im not sure what they use
but prores raw is substantially less data than cdng

and actually easy to edit

[vagrant pagoda]

A single 4k frame at 8 bit is like 8MB

[astral haven]

uncompressed

lossless compression can bring that down to 1MB per frame

and lossless interframe compression can bring that down to 2mb for something like 4 frames?

[vagrant pagoda]

Prores isn't lossless

[astral haven]

remember
camera specs are in mbps not MB/s

[vagrant pagoda]

I'm talking bytes

[astral haven]

thats why i said the cronos is a better scientific tool

but it is not a better camera

[vagrant pagoda]

I asked if it could record in raw to disk

Which isn't possible

[astral haven]

which it can

[vagrant pagoda]

At it's full rate

[astral haven]

and thats just not true

[vagrant pagoda]

So it can only do high frame rate encoded/compressed

4k600 raw is 20GB/s

[astral haven]

you are confusing raw and compression

raw can be compressed

there are many ways to do it

[smoky frigate]

huffyuv best codec evar

(not really)

[vagrant pagoda]

Prores isn't lossess

[astral haven]

and you are not listening to what I say

[vagrant pagoda]

And you need raw for highspeed as lighting is super difficult

[astral haven]

its still raw regardless of your disbelief

[vagrant pagoda]

Also the ember only dose prores

It doesn't do prores raw

They don't support raw at all

So please keep explaining how it can

[astral haven]

ok so what is raw

because you dont seem to understand

[vagrant pagoda]

Raw has the unprocessed data from the sensor

[astral haven]

wrong

well i mean you may mean that
but if you do, there is not a single device that supports that besides the phantoms and that japanese company i forget the name of

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean the literally say the ember can't do raw, and that it might be coming

[astral haven]

photron
they do raw that meets that definition

[astral haven]

again tho you dont understand what they mean by raw

[vagrant pagoda]

RAW is RAW

It cant do raw

Chronos can do raw and uncompressed

[astral haven]

that is true

[smoky frigate]

looking at the many raw formats that exist for photos alone, I'm pretty sure that compression is involved in a lot of them

[astral haven]

that is only true for awful definitions of raw

[vagrant pagoda]

They use those awful definitions

[astral haven]

well yes

[vagrant pagoda]

My definition agrees with the manufacturer and yours dosent

Kind of weird

[astral haven]

no actually it doesnt

even if you arrive to the same conclusion by making several mistakes, you still made the mistakes

[vagrant pagoda]

They say it can't do raw, I say it can't do raw. You're saying it does.

[astral haven]

nope

im saying that your definition of raw is wrong and would also disqualify the chronos

and im also saying that the freefly shoots raw enough

[vagrant pagoda]

Raw enough isn't raw

[astral haven]

sure
but your definition of "raw" would also disqualify the chronos

[vagrant pagoda]

No it's literally dng raws

[astral haven]

dng is a format that can contain different data

[vagrant pagoda]

It literally contains the unprocessed pixel data from the senor

[astral haven]

the dngs that chronos records would not fit this definition

[astral haven]

again thats wrong

its compressed

[vagrant pagoda]

How so

[astral haven]

idk RLE?

[vagrant pagoda]

Its isn't rle

[astral haven]

ok so how much data does the 4k12's sensor output

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean 128gb is 11 seconds

[astral haven]

is it?

1 chance to check your math

[astral haven]

and im not talking what it records
im talking the "unprocessed pixel data"

ok so lets do some math
the sensor is 12 bpc
and it outputs at 11.8 gigapixels/s

how many bits per pixel is 12 bit color?

[fair gull]

36

[cursive summit]

https://t.co/Ij21aWv5NM

Not sure they will sell much

Not even too sure it's even cost-effective to design a chip only you yourself will use

Nvidia is just really damn good, so is AMD

[umbral heron]

Definitely more cost-effective than buying from either Nvidia or AMD

[cursive summit]

I kinda doubt it?

[umbral heron]

Depends on volume ofc

[cursive summit]

H100 is like $39,995 from what I can find

A silicon engineer's salary, and you will need more than one for this lol, including TSMC 5nm node, logistics, prototyping, etc

You sure at that point it's not easier to just buy a bunch of H100s lel, or the new H200s which are apparently insane

[umbral heron]

They were $40k in April, now they're closer to $30k
But still, pretty sure MS has lots of their own engineers on hand
And for custom workloads custom chip is still better

[astral haven]

Actually that's not correct; since there are 2 green sensels per pixel, it's 48, but even at 36, the sensor captures 53GB of data per second
That's 614gb of data in 11.8 seconds that it captures to a 128gb dimm
Something doesn't add up 🤔
It's almost like they do lossless compression

[astral haven]

Msrp is alot more than people actually pay for them

[astral haven]

And actually looking into it further, it's lossy compression since it only records 8 bits at max fps

[shadow minnow]

Interesting to see in terms of max frame rate the newer versions are a downgrade

[astral haven]

Don't think so?

They just aren't advertising the max true framer ate just the max framer ate at 1080p and 4k

Tho I'd have to check again

Oh no it is right there my b

Yea I mean the difference isn't huge in terms of percentage

And you are getting a ton more pixels

At those similar framerates

[fair gull]

framer ate indeed

[shadow minnow]

With the second one yes. With third and fourth it’s actually smaller.
And like it is like 33%-80% which can make a difference if your mainly interested in very slo mo

[astral haven]

thats minimum resolution not max resolution at that minimum framerate
i believe they support mostly full width at those higher framerates

[cursive summit]

Azure? That's a major customer

[astral haven]

Android 14 is getting a new volume slider design

This is the current one

[gusty kiln]

basically the same except thicc

[halcyon moss]

It's the same

[wheat plume]

except thicc

[umbral heron]

If they timker with volume control they could fix DVC too at least

[wheat plume]

DVC?

[umbral heron]

Direct Volume Control
Basically apps can override built-in volume control and talk directly with DACs
Samsung broke that stuff on my phone with update to Android 12

[wheat plume]

o..

Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1: A new hidden Pixel Launcher experiment will let you remove the "At a glance" widget.

One of the biggest sore spots for Pixel users has been the inability to remove the "At a glance" widget from the home screen, but it looks like Google has heard the pleas and started working on a way to hide it.

In the Pixel Launcher settings, there will be a new toggle to "Add At a glance to home screen". And when you turn it off, you'll be able to put anything you want in its place.

For now, this switch is hidden from users behind a developer flag.

Possible flags:
ENABLE_SMARTSPACE_REMOVAL
SMARTSPACE_AS_A_WIDGET

How is it not throttling at 102

Lol

[umbral heron]

[gusty kiln]

they did not really use that cooler in the picture right?

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah the ice giant

Its a good cooler

Just thonk

[gusty kiln]

I think it's good for one brand but not the other

forgot which way

[vagrant pagoda]

Also at 950w with air it was 22% faster than Intel on ln2 pushing 1800w

[gusty kiln]

kek nice

[vagrant pagoda]

Granted intel has well less cores

[gusty kiln]

but muh higher quality cores
-intel fanboi from 2012

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean true

[hardy idol]

Xeons are very nice to use

I had an E5 1660 0 for quite a while

More reasons not to get windows 12

More bloat

[fickle ore]

its the future

[umbral heron]

unfortunately

But one can hope it wouldn't be

[final flame]

I like mine more

[hardy idol]

Yeah but I don't like it much

[wheat plume]

Oh
That's also what miui does xf

[hardy idol]

I visit big dealers and multiple and then decide on colour

Because paint is one of the hardest things to get right

and if you did? you didn't

[final flame]

I use a app called volume panel pro

[wheat plume]

Ooohhh

[hardy idol]

Ah

[final flame]

Nice and customizable, I got it for free when it was on sale on the app store

[wheat plume]

Does it need root perms?

[final flame]

Dvc works just fine for me idk

[final flame]

Nah

The only perms it would need are just abd perms and that's if your device keeps killing the process...

[wheat plume]

Oh ok

[final flame]

Can even gesture it to come out

[fair gull]

did.... youtube bring dislikes back?

and no i dont have any plugins that would show dislike counts

scratch that

[rough osprey]

🚣

[fair gull]

arc added it in some update

time to curb the extensions i guess

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4GZUCwVRLs

pay for 4k get 720p

[pale sigil]

I'm watching that

[hollow prism]

how do you forget you download something like that? 🤔

[pale sigil]

Sadly it isn't new

[astral haven]

yep, welcome to drm

[pale sigil]

And hasn't been for a longgggggg time

[fair gull]

classic move

(also piracy bad oBvIoUsLy)

[pale sigil]

Edge used to have 4K support.

Idk if it does now though

[fair gull]

arc installed in in an update prob

[astral haven]

is it piracy if you pay for the content and just access it via a different means?

[fair gull]

the same way it keeps the ublock origin list uptodate and nice

[fair gull]

youd have a license for the content as long as its not for another platform or such

[pale sigil]

Still waiting on arc for windows

[hollow prism]

yes, you're just the sucker that pays someone else for doing so instead of doing it yourself

[pale sigil]

Lol
