OMFH

THANK YOU. VALVE

ITS SO ANNOYING THAT THE DECK ALWAYS ASSUMED THE HEADPHONES YOU PLUG IN HAVE A MIC BUILT IN

[halcyon moss]

Yeah? You used the mic on the deck?

[wheat plume]

yeh it sounds pretty good

I used steam voice call and my friend heard me clearly

[hardy idol]

fuck

maybe tesla is actually very smart

by using 301

theyll be totaled with the smallest incidents, so you dont have to repair them but you can sell another one!

but if I got one, paint that shit immediately

hahahha

tough and corrosion resistant

"Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel"

if its hard its not likely to be tough

[empty wren]

oof on rolled too

it has stress

[hardy idol]

it's not unlikely its actually 301 with a ribbon

and 301, cold hardened

becomes a bit magnetic xd

but very strong

It's relatively hard but therefore brittle

[empty wren]

inb4 car crash test breaks car

[hardy idol]

Damage to the exoskeleton will always be very expensive.

[hardy idol]

no they made some zones that do deform

its all about construction geometry and thickness ofc

but because its 1 part, an exoskeleton is hard to replace

therefore, must be repaired if you want to keep it

well

good luck

[empty wren]

the car is expensive anyways

expectation is repairs ar expensive too

[hardy idol]

stainless steel exterior finish means you cant use body filler
301 degrades in quality when welded
welding causes the material to deform, so youd need some type of 'filler'

[empty wren]

probably cannot punch dents out either if it is brittle

[hardy idol]

you can weld up a bit, and then make the surface flat again by like, sanding or grinding etc

but thats also more heat, fucking up the corrosion resistance even more (301 isnt great to start with)

AND

then you have to get to a similar looking finish as the rest of the car

which won't be easy at all.

[empty wren]

maybe some people will get their cars wrapped

[hardy idol]

Remember that Rivian
small dent, 40k+ repair bill

[empty wren]

that is wild

[hardy idol]

it got fixed for less by the known dent repair techniques

paintless repair even

but on a cybertruck, good luck

the rivian has the advantage of paint

so filler doesnt matter

[hardy idol]

once water gets underneath the wrap, itll accelerate rust

also, acids, also from acidic rain, cleaning products etc can all leave marks on the surface

even water

so have fun hosing down the car with demineralised water after every wash

and then coat it in oil or clean the whole thing with glassex until its spotless-ish again

on god if I had a cybertruck

I'd paint it the moment I received it

stainless steel, called rust-free steel in the Netherlands, is not rust free or resistant at all

301 is a pretty low quality for rust resistance too

it's below our regular turning grades

which would be 302

[empty wren]

yeah i used think it could not too

[hardy idol]

Yeah so, it completely does haha

[empty wren]

well the different gardes can mitigate rust

then a metal like aluminium forms its own layer but it can probably rust too right?

[hardy idol]

and at seaside applications sometimes it feels like 316L sometimes rusts even quicker than 304L, it's unexplainable
The stuff just rusts
The Cybertruck will be brown within a year or two

disassemble it and pickle it or something 😂

[hardy idol]

only steel rusts
other materials corrode

[empty wren]

oh

[hardy idol]

same thing tho

just different name

[empty wren]

you mean turn green

not orange or brown

[hardy idol]

not necessarily

steel corrosion is called rust

[empty wren]

well then copper turns green at the least'

[hardy idol]

yeah but that's corrosion

and that corrosion is called patina hahaha

Aluminium forms a small corrosion layer, which basically closes the material up for further exposure to the weather

steel also forms this layer but that layer isn't closed, and so it just continues to eat the material

But I don't think the Cybertruck is repairable, sustainable or anything tbh.

because of the extensive costs to repair exoskeleton damage, it'll likely be totaled easily, which just gives Tesla what they want

people won't repair their truck, they'll just scrap it and buy another

why give repair shops money when you can sell another car and make money yourself

[timber mantle]

My old company did some work for Tesla. 'Insufferable pieces of shit' was my favorite description I heard from one of the people on the project.

[mild dome]

Yeah the issue with rust is that it flakes off so readily exposing more steel to further rust
Aluminium forms a protective layer instead which manufacturers might even treat to deepen the passivating layer. in fact aluminium's passivating layer can be dyed with different colours!

[hardy idol]

I was at the Chamber of Commerce Innovation Top 100 2023 event today

Let me tell you
People nowadays just want money and fame and just use sustainability and environmentally friendly solutions as a tool.
Most of them were talking about how big they were etc.
Almost noone told us they focused on producing quality.
Some companies violently played into consumerism.

I fucking hate it.
It's almost more of a business Top 100 than innovation

same goes for tesla

the fake ass wanna be seen as green but we just want money mentality

[mild dome]

IRC this is known as green washing

[astral haven]

we are using 20% less material in our packaging to save money to save the environment

[hardy idol]

Sure, your new product saves a bit more energy or whatever when in use
but you had to make an entire new product, of which the environmental cost isn't worth it at all because the old product does almost as well but was already produced.

So all the green people go on to buy that new greenest thing, the new model EV etc

fucking creating more waste as they go

[hardy idol]

basically

But yeah those companies had an "innovation" but

[mild dome]

NET 0 carbon by 2030! (at which time we will move the target date up 10 years!)

[astral haven]

nah

they just pay for carbon credits

[hardy idol]

the company that got 3rd were speaking like they were very big etc

so we asked, what if we want to order stuff for our factories

and they were like, we don't even have a test factory yet

sure it's innovation but the innovation in my opinion is when you get the test factory to work, so you deliver your proof of concept that you can scale the invention

[astral haven]

gotta prevent those forests from being logged that were never going to be logged because of how inaccessible they are!

[hardy idol]

Noone cares about your lab chemicals and stuff if you can't upscale the process to make it

wha

oh yeah well

[astral haven]

well because then you have to be directly responsible for the capture
and companies want to just spend money to have the problem go away

[hardy idol]

It's funny

Some companies do that, others just move away

For example

certain political parties in the Netherlands want to severely reduce farming etc

but in an unreasonable way

So basically farmers are being bought out, so they quit
then the produce becomes an import good
farming just moves to a different country, where it's usually done in an environmentally more unfriendly way + the transport costs

If you just talk with them, and understand each other
you can do so much more than just bullying them away

But the green parties want the Netherlands green
Not the world, only the Netherlands

Why do they buy out farmers btw? Because they want farm land to become house land

Several parties had it in their programme to make it easier to get building permits on agricultural land

Then comes the question, why that

because our policies surrounding helping foreign people suck and we don't really help then we allow them all to migrate + take some people with them
basically means we need a lot of housing. new cities etc. when the space available is decreasing

So the solution is to put a green flag on bullying farmers away

but yeah it's just a scummy practice

it's not beneficial for things that are actually green

[crisp granite]

so...the plan is to turn NL into one massive net zero city that imports absolutely everything
and has no real room to produce cultural goods?

to not be able to get actual Dutch Gouda would be a damn shame

[hardy idol]

if you leave it up to the green parties yeah

[crisp granite]

sickening :D

[hardy idol]

and a lot of the new generation people don't think things through

[crisp granite]

most

[hardy idol]

they fused 2 left parties because they wanted a higher chance in the elections

still lost

[crisp granite]

tbh, always room to form a coalition
I hear PVV needs as many friends in the houses as possible

[hardy idol]

i think maybe people are more smart and it's just the few left people that just bring all media attention to them

[crude ridge]

think? whats that? Most of them are walking like zombies, being drawn by their iPhone Screen

[hardy idol]

yea i guess

[crisp granite]

one of my colleagues spends at least 10 hours a day on tiktok alone...

as determined by her phone's screen use time

[hardy idol]

Holy fuck

[crisp granite]

yeah...

[crude ridge]

My own sister knows that I am awake over the night because of work, and instead of googling something within 5 seconds, she prefers to call me at 4am............................................

[crisp granite]

I don't know what is wrong with people our age

[hardy idol]

a lot

[crisp granite]

that's a very broad penstroke
and yet is so true

[hardy idol]

and I'm not a great person at all

but somehow

[crisp granite]

we are many actual penstrokes worth of fucked up

there is no correcting

[crude ridge]

So they are getting dumber and dumber by using tech for the worst reasons possible and not as tool. People were in disbelief just because whenever I cannot get somewhere with any questions may come up I do research online for some minutes until I get to a good level and started calling me google. Guys I am not fucking einstein, I just care ffs!

[crisp granite]

Violet, nah
you're fine

you think every now and then

using that spongy tissue between your ears

:>

most...don't nowadays

[crisp granite]

most of my colleagues avoid books like the plague
and I'm A UNI STUDENT FFS

to learn that the vast majority haven't cracked open books to assigned readings until they're being tested on it

is outright disturbing

[empty wren]

i read mine if i am missing a bit information ona unit

other times not really needed in my opinion

[crisp granite]

oft the text is separate from the subject of lecture, or needed to understand lecture, at least in my experience

might be different for different fields

[empty wren]

i do not know mans unless someone needs a lot of book knowledge does not seem necesary

i used my book in C programming like once

A on the final exam

[crisp granite]

book knowledge...yeah

[empty wren]

i will say i might look books later

cuz i buy them and can revisit topics to remember them

but paying attention in class and answering questions seems to be enough for me, physical notes to me seem like a lost cause most of the time too. I almost never look at them later

should one do the book assigned assignments yes

that is part of the grade

if people do not not surpised they failed

[pale sigil]

wtf, random files from 2016 are showing up on my google drive

[crisp granite]

@boreal kiln

soon™️

[rough osprey]

i had that one for a week

[crisp granite]

it theoretically should be on a plane to Kanukhistani territories within a few days

perhaps even today tbh

[rough osprey]

mine has been in a plane for 2 days now haha

[crisp granite]

...that's cursed

typically you want to unload a plane ASAP to speed up turnaround times

[rough osprey]

the updates are just kinda late

[crisp granite]

mine, assuming the tracking is right
should be somewhere in Sydney's international airport, waiting to be loaded

[rough osprey]

but i wouldn't expect yours to be on a plane this week tbh

[crisp granite]

it is early afternoon friday there, so

[crisp granite]

...ouch

a week

also wtf yours got shipped a hell of a lot quicker
guess domestic and US orders got priority

[rough osprey]

i think they put them on the back of snails for transport

[rough osprey]

im eu :/

[crisp granite]

damn

[rough osprey]

whats your ~ order number

[crisp granite]

forgot exact, but it was near 1800

so definitely close to last in the queue if that's how it was done

[rough osprey]

ah then yours was just given to postal services later

im like 1300

and optimum took like a week for all

[crisp granite]

would have thought he'd do em in batches based on where the orders were from tbh

that seems to be the norm from everyone else

domestic first, then major markets
auxilliary get things last

[rough osprey]

truly tech of all time

[severe phoenix]

You know what I just realized looking at the Gameboy, the speaker was covered by your palm, less an issue as a kid, but it does make me wonder

[boreal kiln]

[raw zephyr]

what's a security concern?

[crisp granite]

I’ve never been this excited for a mouse in years lol

And this ain’t even a complete mouse, it’s a damn shell xD

[boreal kiln]

hopefully you dont have any issues with the right click pretravel but if you do just email him

i just got my replacement but my original one is super dialled in now after adding some ptfe spacers between the switch and standoff

[crisp granite]

That would be concerning considering he test fitted them all, no?

he would have had to let a lot of duds through to mention that

I will email if that’s the case though, thanks for the heads up

👍

[boreal kiln]

some people had no issues

i think it just comes down to the printing

[misty saffron]

you may already be kissing if namedrop triggers accidentally

[wheat plume]

Is the OLED Deck panel native portrait like the original?

I know there are two suppliers for the OLED panel, so maybe that depends on the Supplier?

[umbral heron]

I dunno, I could check out mine once I'm home

[ashen spindle]

iirc it’s not

[umbral heron]

There's a little bit, but you have to look like a centimeter from screen at it

Simple anti-aliasing stuff, nothing special

[ashen spindle]

I know one review talked about portrait orientation, maybe the GN one and they mentioned what the new one was, just not totally sure anymore

[wheat plume]

The OLED Deck seems native portrait, my friend's OLED is portrait and he has the Samsung panel

[ashen spindle]

Oh yeah seems like both are portrait still can’t find the video I was thinking about

[severe phoenix]

You can however use SK to HDR Retrofit though

[wheat plume]

why are they made in portrait? is it easier or cheaper?

I guess they are more commonly wanted in portrait to make tablets and phones with

[umbral heron]

Still, I don't get the channel name

[wheat plume]

They are men that show you how to do cool things on Android

its mostly the same guy tbh but yeah xd

Lazulite is so cool :O

o..the 2nd gen razer nomma speakers

never seen those in a video before

[severe phoenix]

So they're mansplainin

damn it, I wish I had root

I just have Shizuku ;-;

[teal mantle]

not sure this is right channel but uhh

setup time. I have few ideas on how to put my pc. One is with the glass panel facing me, on the desk. Other is with front fans facing me, on desk. Last is on riser, to right of desk, front fans pointing towards me. Which is best? My monitor is 27" and will be mounted dead center of my 1200mm x 600mm desk, mousepad is est 20" x 20", case is asus gt301

[ashen spindle]

On the ground so it doesn’t waste deskspace

[timber mantle]

I'd recommend a riser for the tower. keeps it off the carpet. They're dirt cheap.

4G is way too early

At least in Europe

[wheat plume]

This even includes the voice network too not just the data network

[reef patrol]

Yes?

Otherwise you wouldn't be turning it off.

[wheat plume]

They could turn off just the data part
And still allow phone calls over it

My phone displays H+ when on a call
That means mine won't work .-. if this rollouts in Ireland

[raw zephyr]

just put a fan on it

i love it lol

[ashen spindle]

thats just the same as using FSR3 and AFMF

just as shit too probably

fun though

[astral haven]

no lol

well its the same as using fsr3 frame gen

but its less broken

somehow

and ofc you get the benefit of it being dlss as a base which is vastly better

[ashen spindle]

I mean slightly less garbage as a basis is still garbage

[astral haven]

nah

[ashen spindle]

yes, dlss fg is still garbage

[astral haven]

oh sure

but dlss RR is so good that you end up breaking even when you use FG

[ashen spindle]

rr isnt fg though

rr is a better denoiser

[astral haven]

but you cant use RR with FSR3

[ashen spindle]

but rr isn't even part of this discussion lol

[astral haven]

the + from using RR is cancelled out by the - of using FG is the point

so you end up back to zero

[ashen spindle]

did they limit RR to only work with FG?

[astral haven]

wheras with fsr3, the native upscaling is already a -, then you add on another - from FG, and finally another - from FMF

quin

read what im typing

[ashen spindle]

I am but unless RR is tied to FG I dont get how it matters here

[astral haven]

ok so the goal is high fps for the minimum quality loss

right?

[severe phoenix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/188fxu1/fix_audio_cracklingstatic_on_35mm_headphone_jack/

[ashen spindle]

the reason I call it garbage is I think dlss fg is still nowhere close enough to be useable

so doing dlss+afmf or fsr3+afmf is bothg giving you garbage

[astral haven]

with me so far here??

[ashen spindle]

sure

[astral haven]

so we both agree that dlss3 fg and fsr3 fgdegrade the image roughly a similar amount right?

[ashen spindle]

yes

[astral haven]

but we also agree that RR is superior to non fg fsr3, and that the two are mutually exclusive right?

[ashen spindle]

RR is something for raytracing games only in the first place and not superior to fsr as they are not the same feature

[astral haven]

ok but if you enable fsr3 you cant get RR

and if you can get RR, your visual fidelity is higher than it would be with FSR3

right?

[ashen spindle]

that was why I asked if they locked RR to FG because in theory you can combine those

[astral haven]

they arent locked together

but if the goal is maximum fps, then you would enable fg

and RR has little to no downside

[ashen spindle]

doesnt change any sort of interpolation still make the end result garbage

if you are okay with bad results for more fps sure that works

[astral haven]

yea

also also you get the benefit of the nvidia gpu being faster ofc

Honestly I love this

[old marlin]

that is a company that literally just copied the entire legal notice from another company

unedited

[rough osprey]

happens

[old marlin]

yea it's just amazing how sus most newer mouse companies are

obviously no fcc registration

why would they

[rough osprey]

let them be silly

[old marlin]

oh

razer vr

[old marlin]

being non-compliant is not just being silly

and can fuck over a lot of retailers/importers

(who also haven't done their job)

[rough osprey]

😜

[astral haven]

razer i think was one of the first to make a vr controller

razer hydra

[crimson wigeon]

Not originally meant to be a VR controller, just hey we now have a motion controller for PC

Although yes probably most known use for it is VR

[astral haven]

yea, but it was the first 6 degree controller for gaming

[crimson wigeon]

I never did bother getting the Portal 2 thing for it, maybe it's still available..

And I wonder if TF2 still has native support for it

[astral haven]

but yea imo something isnt VR if you dont have 6dof interaction
so the dev kits werent actually VR, just 3d Hmds

[tough crypt]

anyone good with ram problems?

[thick elk]

I have one of these, not made by razer btw were just branded and sold as such. Fun toy at the time.

[astral haven]

yup

gotta have a dark room otherwise oled isnt that great

[ashen spindle]

the black isnt but the colors still pop even at brighter environement

[fickle ore]

yeah black isnt the only thing

[astral haven]

yes and no

[ashen spindle]

but yeah coating matters for that a decent amount but I think this semi glossy they put onto the alienware is the best for most usecases

[fickle ore]

Sadly ive come to realization full glossy isnt best yeah. Semi glossy where it at

gonna grab 2nd gen qd-oled

whenever they come within 2024

[ashen spindle]

ces will show and probably give dates for most screens coming

[fickle ore]

uhhuh really already? will be 360hz and thats enough for me for now

[rough osprey]

damn tn got no contrast

[fickle ore]

neither does ips or va kek 😄

[astral haven]

with qdoled the actual brightness of the individual colors is vastly greater than on a rgbw oled, but you still are having to fight the ambient light
and with an lcd, you also have the advantage of the polarization layers absorbing more light, and finally, there arent any oleds that can push 1k nits full screen, so for office work, you have to divide these numbers for oleds by up to 10

• 500 is not that bright really, much more is recommended...

[vagrant pagoda]

No

There was 6dof before that

[astral haven]

read the whole message fam

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes

For gaming

Spaceorb

It's the precursor for 3d mice Logitech makes to this day

For 3d modeling/cad work

But it was a true 6dof gaming controller

Worked well for decent

[astral haven]

so on this graph, if you are reading documents, qdoled gen 1 drops below tn at around 100 nits (dim house light)
gen 2 drops below tn at around 150 nits (normal home lighting)
the matte woleds drop below tn at 250 nits which is normal business lighting,
only the TV stays above lcd perf till 500 (recommended office brightness)
and if you have a window that is being indirectly lit (2 bounces) you are still looking at 2k+ lux

[vagrant pagoda]

That and decent support vr

So you could 100% play vr in the mid 90s with a 6dof controller, and a head tracked 3d hmd

[astral haven]

interesting

i guess i never saw it because it couldnt be used as a 6dof controller for vr as you had to use both hands for it

it would only be useful for taking a 3dof headset and making it 6dof

actually if you modded it to usb, you could use it for vr by plugging it into the headset

anyways point is oled is still for dark rooms only
and this isnt including local dimming on the lcds, and using a garbage tier va

[vagrant pagoda]

You hold one side static in your hand, the ball has all 6dof

[astral haven]

yea but you are tethered to the pc

so you have to sacrifice 2 of the dof for player movement

at least

the razer has an extra joystick to give you back the lost dof

[vagrant pagoda]

There wasn't standing vr it was all seated

[astral haven]

again just faking vr
it aint vr if you dont have 6dof hmd + another 6dof from your inputs somehow
it would just be a 3d hmd if you have less than that

[vagrant pagoda]

It is a 6dof headset and a 6dof controller

[astral haven]

it wasnt yet

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes it was

[astral haven]

not unless there was a headset that supported serial input

[vagrant pagoda]

It all went to the game

Why would it go to the headset?

[astral haven]

because otherwise you couldnt move?

if you were stuck in one location, you lose a minimum of 1 degree of freedom, usually 2

[vagrant pagoda]

The headset has a cable and you can move?

Why can't you move with a controller cable

[astral haven]

you could it just limited your freedom

[vagrant pagoda]

All vr has limits

[astral haven]

not that small

and the point is moot since headsets of the time were 3dof sometimes 4 not 6

[vagrant pagoda]

I had a track ir 2 and 3

[astral haven]

i imagine that trackir would be compatible with 3dvision?

[vagrant pagoda]

3d vision never worked well enough with enough games that I used it

Also arms 2 has roll and y, but they are tied to the lean and zoom

[astral haven]

yep, but using tridefvr, you could use 3dvision supported games on any hmd (for the most part)
add trackir for your 6dof visual experience, and one of these controllers for your 6dof input and you have yourself actual vr

[vagrant pagoda]

If vision 3d worked lol

[astral haven]

shh

also afaik tridefvr tended to work better than native, but i never tried native

[vagrant pagoda]

I have both gen if glasses and the quadro real genlock sync one

And I still never used it that much

And tbo trackir was like 90% arma 2

[astral haven]

i didnt use tridef much because my pc at the time couldnt handle it at all

i suspect it still cant

this could be a good use for dual gpus tho lel

1 gpu for the game, the other for the vr headset

[vagrant pagoda]

Lol

[astral haven]

and you are looking through windows anyways

[broken flax]

I dont know if this belongs in this channel, but I havent found any help yet:

[gleaming oxide]

i switched from AMD to Nvidia and cant play any Vulkan games. They either say I need a Vulkan GPU or crash or make a blue screen of death. Ive used amd cleanup utility, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, disabled AMD Switchup for an APU which i dont even have...
Other games run fine...
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
Oh also i checked the ram with memtest and checked the S.M.A.R.T with Cruicials own Software. nothing found.

[ashen spindle]

did you use DDU for a clean driver install?

[gleaming oxide]

I uninstalled with amds software and ran cleanup utility

[ashen spindle]

make a clean install with DDU

[native egret]

how do you guys normally clean your pc case and parts safely

[ashen spindle]

compressed air

[gleaming oxide]

download from guru3d save?

[ashen spindle]

yes

[final flame]

Open up PC after unplugging everything and turning off power supply, use datavac or compressed air, don't spin fans with air.

Use isopropyl if necessary to get caked on dust

Not really much to it, just don't spin the fans and you'll be fine. Take your time and be thorough

[umbral heron]

Or unplug the fans from motherboard beforehand
Basically if you spin the fans you're turning them into little generators, which can send some charge to mobo and fry it

[final flame]

Can also unplug fans, just be sure to plug them back in before you put the side panels back on

yes the point is about before the surface line.. not what they currently do

[wheat plume]

new tablet and laptop range

[timber mantle]

Google's made 3 different laptops including a Surface style hybrid

Intel chips & decent ram options but no dedicated graphics.

[final flame]

The very first surface was in 2017 damn

[timber mantle]

I had one for work.

[umbral heron]

Intel iGPU does decent job for productivity stuff

[timber mantle]

The Surface Books were better.

The biggest issue with the Books tho was that they were heavy as shit with that hinge.

[final flame]

Surface RT was released in 2012 if you want to consider that one

[cobalt barn]

ya lol i have cats

i cba to always have the door closed so

gotta do what I can

[umbral heron]

Holy hell, Tegra 3 + 2GB DDR3

[timber mantle]

I have the last proper Pixelbook and I was going to install Linux but to fully delete ChromeOS is a pain in the ass.

[final flame]

Talking about iris? or hd graphics?

[umbral heron]

HD since Skylake, so 5xx?

[final flame]

Because hd graphics sucks for anything that even is a little bit graphic intensive, iris is actually pretty good for most things

[astral haven]

Depends on the type of graphic intensity

[gleaming oxide]

Ok I ran ddu with amd as the target and portal suddenly worked. Detroit on the other hand didn’t come with its „yh I can’t find a Vulkan ready gpu“ to „…“ pure silence.
My idea is to now run ddu over NVIDIA and then reinstalling it.
Do I have to uninstall NVIDIA first and then run ddu or first uninstall it and then run dddu?

[astral haven]

3d? Definetly

[final flame]

I'd say 2d in photoshop

[astral haven]

But Intel from 7th Gen and onwards is solidly better to have than any igpu from Radeon for video and photo

[umbral heron]

You can install it on top of prevoius one, it should reconfigure on the fly

[ashen spindle]

worth a shot, windows reset could also work maybe

[gleaming oxide]

Ok, first go to Windows and click uninstall or simply run ddu over it?

[ashen spindle]

use ddu, by reset I mean do the reset of windows itself

[gleaming oxide]

Ok so lebe those here and just du

Leave

Ddu

Damn auto correct

[ashen spindle]

yes dont touch them from there if you dont know what to do

[shadow willow]

ay is wooting working for u guys?

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258

[shadow willow]

?

[ashen spindle]

if you got any issue thats the post for it

[gleaming oxide]

okay. DDU saved a lot, except for 1
before portal would simply crash instantly after loading screen. now seems to work perfectly fine
Detroit says it cant find a Vulkan 1.1 ready GPU. Nothing has changed. on my old 5600xt it worked fine.
Didnt test Metro Exodus before. now it works fine.

Feels like DDU was 100% necessary, detroit seems to be messy af being the only game that doesnt get it rn...
im so confused

[ashen spindle]

yeah just installing a different vendors drivers easily messes things up

could try factory reset of windows

Start > Settings > System > Recovery iirc

essentailly wipe everything and start fresh

[gleaming oxide]

Thing is so many others having problems with the game on NVIDIA. And since ddu everything seems to be fine on my end, too...
plans are friend will wipe a drive and well do a clean install just to test the game on that.

bhijklsrdfrgksiaderbhnfw

anyways ty very much ❤️

[astral haven]

yea
wish people could test the intel hedt tho

cheaper, faster IO, and monolithic options

[hardy idol]

hows the deltahub?

[hardy idol]

id be interested in that keyboard cover ngl

can you link it?

[cobalt barn]

yeah i got you

[cobalt barn]

its great, helps a lot since i have a rough weave speed pad

doesnt chafe my wrist

[hardy idol]

ah, I personally have a glass pad but ive been thinking about getting one for a few years now

[vagrant pagoda]

It's slower in hedt applications though

Only in a few adobe apps is it faster

[astral haven]

define hedt applications

pro applications? sure

hedt is more for enthusiasts

[vagrant pagoda]

And TRX50 has less pcie5, wrx90 has more.

48vs64 and 112vs128

[ashen spindle]

https://morethanmoore.substack.com/p/tsmc-oip-forum-fabs-n3n2bspn

[vagrant pagoda]

Also we've seen 7200 kits for wrx90 which is higher than C741

[teal mantle]

Dont get glass

Eats your mouse feet, develops slow spots

[zenith silo]

Glass pads don't get slow spots

Unless your gross and never clean it

Now you do go through mouse feet quite a bit faster but I still get well over a month out of mine

Cloth pads get slow spots, glass pads just get dirty

[gusty kiln]

xraypad obsidians last a little longer

[zenith silo]

Yeah I'm gonna pick some up

Rn I'm using sapphires on my artisan though

[gusty kiln]

I want jades

[zenith silo]

Haven't used this combo in a while

[gusty kiln]

looking forward to either the LGG Neptune Pro or Mercury V2 Pro

with Jades

I am speed

[zenith silo]

I'm using sapphire skates + control pad rn

Trying siege out so I figured I'd use my artisan zero again

[gusty kiln]

is that suppose to achieve now inital friction but high dynamic?

[zenith silo]

Tac fps + control pad kinda just work together well... Who would've thought

[zenith silo]

Static and kinetic are essentially the dame

[gusty kiln]

oh the zero is like a medium speed pad

ah

[zenith silo]

So the force needed to start moving and continue moving is essentially the exact same

Makes a very smooth experience

[gusty kiln]

what mouse are you using?

[zenith silo]

Atlantis mini

But I used to use my gpx when I played on this pad with sapphires

[sand urchin]

any admins around here
i need help

[mellow idol]

what's the best gaming headphones i can buy(dont need a mic)

[astral haven]

depends how much money you have

[final flame]

hd800s or a dt1990 probably would be the best options in terms of the "best"
which won't help you get better anyways

k371 is not that good I'll be honest
I own one personally and I never liked it

it's built cheaply, needs a good seal to actually get any bass extension
it's not particularly resolving

[astral haven]

k371 is likely to perform better in game than those simply due to being closed and to a minor extent sound isolating

they dont make a closed dt1990 do they?

[final flame]

closed backs have issues with soundstage/positioning, which should be the entire point of a "gaming" headphone

[astral haven]

soundstage is awful for gaming

[final flame]

the k371 isn't particularly good at either of those

[astral haven]

all you need is imaging

[astral haven]

well its pleasant to have but its not better performing

[final flame]

+1 on the 7506, it's objectively better than the k371

I've listened to one in person too

and directly compared it to the k371, since I had both of them on me when I listened to it

[mellow idol]

ik it wont help me get better i jus want good sound quality and clarity for games and general use

[final flame]

then I'd get something that's good for music, not just for gaming

[astral haven]

and also state a price

[final flame]

if you have a budget, that would help a lot

[astral haven]

oh my sennheiser isnt making the he1 any more?
wow

[mellow idol]

i mean preferably around or bellow 200 but i can doe 350 if i wanted

[final flame]

probably going to make a new one
should be interesting

[final flame]

is that usd?

[mellow idol]

yea

[astral haven]

how noisy is your surroundings?

[final flame]

not like the mdr7506 offers that much isolation for outside noise anyways

[mellow idol]

not very

quite quiet

[final flame]

are you in the US?

[astral haven]

nice!
lucky you

[mellow idol]

uk

[final flame]

personally would recommend the hd560s, overall good well balanced headphone

[mellow idol]

OK TY

[final flame]

you could also get a hifiman sundara, if you want something a bit higher end

[astral haven]

ive been kinda disappointed that in the 2 years since they released, noone has done anything better

[final flame]

yea it remains the goto recommendation for under 200 for those not in the US

[astral haven]

what if you are in the us?

[final flame]

6xx if you're in the US and if you're ordering it on a sale

[astral haven]

right

disagree but ok

[final flame]

Not a fan of ole mate senny eh

[astral haven]

hate the 6## housing

well

cant tolerate wearing it

[final flame]

it's basically the same as all the other 6x0s

[astral haven]

yes

when the pads are too new they are too hard

and when the pads wear in the driver protection touches your ear

and the pads wear super quick

[final flame]

that's just the downside of sennheisers velour pads, nothing specific to the 6x0 line

[astral haven]

500 series doesnt touch your ears when they wear

[final flame]

dekoni probably sells a pad for the 6x0 that trys to replicate the original signature

[astral haven]

i used pc360 for 5 years straight?

and the 560s dont wear as bad either

[final flame]

https://dekoniaudio.com/product/dekoni-audio-epz-hd600-elite-velour-ear-pads-for-sennheiser-hd600-headphones/

probably should get these once my pair of pads get worn down

[severe phoenix]

Lol yeah

HD600s in a lan soundawful

[final flame]

well that's more the issue of the lan rather than the headphone
anything other than a ety would struggle in a loud scenario

[astral haven]

many many iems are very good for a bit of isolation

[final flame]

it really depends on your personal fit

[astral haven]

if you dont pick the correct tips, thats on you

[final flame]

that's not even just the tips, it comes down to volume and what music you're playing too

when it comes to obfuscating sounds iems are better than headphones, but you're still not going to get complete cancellation without any audio playing

[astral haven]

isolation is purely related to the iem and the tip design

which is why i say that instead of obfuscation

and even just a 10 db drop will help alot

vs the 1-3 at best of the very open backs

[final flame]

stuff like voices and certain high frequencies easily get through iems

[astral haven]

again depends

remember you can tip roll regular iems

[final flame]

even er2's aren't able to fully cancel out voices

[astral haven]

depends on the tips

the grey foams ive found im completely deaf

they really hurt however

[final flame]

I've used iems daily for multiple years in a loud highschool experimenting with different tips and different methods of creating a seal
this is completely different from what you probably are used to using them in

[astral haven]

yea and theres no chance you were able to wear the grey foams for more than a few minutes without pain lol

that is regardless of your surroundings

[final flame]

I used to use the grey ety foams for hours lol
once you let them sit and dont' mess around with them they are quite comfy

[astral haven]

ok now you are pulling my leg

[final flame]

no literally, I have wax proof

[astral haven]

do you have giant ear canals that just barely fit them or something?

[final flame]

they seal far better than the silicone tips
they also sit in the ideal spot of the ear canal for me

the silicone tips were really easy to break the seal on, no matter how far I inserted them
both the double and tripple flange

[astral haven]

did you go over the ear?

[final flame]

I've used every tip size the er2 came with except the double flange silicone

[astral haven]

were you able to get the yellows into your ear at all???

[final flame]

over the ear has the disadvantage that you're able to insert further, which allowed me to break the seal of the silicone tips easier
I only used over ear with the foams since the seal wouldn't break

[astral haven]

what??

do your ear canals get wider the further in they go???

[final flame]

probably, idk

I use the small spinfit size on normal iems

so the entrance is small, but it opens up ig

[astral haven]

normal iems fit in a different part of the ear than the etys tho...

and it is normal that theres a bit of a region just inside your ear larger than the entrance to the canal

but etys go far in beyond that

[final flame]

which is why I used it as a example of how my canals may be wider deeper in the canal rather than the entrance

[astral haven]

sure
but again thats not where the etys go?

they go waaaaaaaay in there

[final flame]

I reach about this far, about to the start of the bump

if you want I can take a video of how I insert the etys

[astral haven]

im good

[astral haven]

never answered this tho

[final flame]

I'm still young, I'd rather not get ciems yet

[astral haven]

i have the moulding compound to make the customs on my desk right now

and its been there for over a year

[mellow idol]

whats the best headphones that would have decent bass?

[final flame]

yellows? as it the large tripple flange?

[mellow idol]

something with a bit more enersion included

but stuill good for fps

[astral haven]

no the mondo sized foams

[final flame]

mine didn't come with them, so I don't have them to test

[final flame]

probably came with older er2 models

I have the ones on the left

[astral haven]

hunh

maybe i got a combo of some kind?

https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/have-some-fun-with-this-wild-rumor-126mp-sony-three-layer-sensor/

oooh boy

[mellow idol]

is ARCTIS NOVA PRO WIRELESS FOR PC worth it

[astral haven]

no

[final flame]

do you want quality bass, or quantity of bass?

[mellow idol]

what evepr gives more emersion in single players but isnt tooo much in shooters

[final flame]

just get a hifiman sundara

[severe phoenix]

Ihttps://www.ebay.com/itm/155636746868

5 year warranty included

[astral haven]

holy mackerel thats pretty good

just about half the price of the cheapest new one

[severe phoenix]

the 5 year warranty is what really sells it

It is very loud, but I mean, stick it in a NAS

[severe phoenix]

Fudge it, bought one, that's my last HDD slot, but running down to only a few hundred GB, so it can get dicey

[empty wren]

[pale sigil]

That's cool XD

[ashen spindle]

the idea is nice but that product is quite silly

if you need the extra slot from the gpu lines but you only use a 4060ti? seems like the build likely has some issues

[empty wren]

Maybe could work for someone egpuing a 4090 on the go

[ashen spindle]

no because if you egpu it the pcie slot is not used

and if its egpu and no pcie slot used you still cant use it because the 4090 uses x16 lanes

[empty wren]

Sorry I mean laptop with egpu enclosure

Some could undo from the 4060ti which they have for some reason

Oh so no egpu box exists for it?

[ashen spindle]

no egpu doesnt split the pcie lanes as it needs so you couldnt do that

thats neither a egpu nor a laptop

[woven laurel]

last time he hit the newspapers. and they actually have a claim against them. hoping for the best

[gleaming oxide]

Made some upgrades on my pc with many problems, most of which seemed to be resolved. However, I just ran a 3h memtest…
If there were 0 errors, fine
If there were 10 at the same bit, fine, bad cell
If there were 10 all over the place, fine, cpu can’t handle the frequency
…
But 1 single cell 1 single time at 1 single bit at 1 of those 4 runs…

I don’t know what to do now XDD
What would u do?

[ashen spindle]

ignore it, remove the OC

[gleaming oxide]

Its not really oc. Ram is officially 3600 c18. I have a 3600x. So it’s no oc on the ram itself, only maybe cpu or mb not being able to handle it.

[ashen spindle]

above 3200 is OC technically

[gleaming oxide]

:c

Ok. When I buy a new cpu in summer or so I’ll see if it comes back

Ty very much @ashen spindle ❤️

[ashen spindle]

also did it crash or do some error or why did you do memtest?

[gleaming oxide]

Everything was fine for a week. On Tuesday Destiny got an update and would instantly crash. File scan showed errors and fixing them made epic crash.
Also had bluescreens of death etc.
Took out new ram, put in old and install worked. Put new one in on 3000 and everything still worked. Turned back to 3600 and still fine. Memtest had 1 run with 0 errors so the ssd was the next suspect. Crucials software found nothing in SMART that would hint at that. Then found out Vulkan had problems so drivers were the next suspect.
Reinstalled, worked again.
Tried many forms of reinstalls until using ddu to wipe amd, then NVIDIA and then reinstalling NVIDIA. Every Vulkan Game worked except Detroit…
Then I started Destiny and it crashed within minutes 2 times. Scanned files, fixed files without any problems, played for 3 hours.
Left the dungeon, game crashed, was tired af
Started memtest, found out on Twitter Destiny has a bug where leaving the dungeon can cause crashes, woohoo, problem found, looked at my memtest screen, 1 error.
So in a total of 4 hours memtest it had 1 error…

[ashen spindle]

oh thats fun

[gleaming oxide]

Yh…

Also gpu has a shit ton of coil wining and is allergic to undervolting

Ducking autocorrect

[wheat plume]

ok this is new.... a console that has telemetry

that was ENABLED by default. I just turned it off

and a ToS xd

[gleaming oxide]

Turning the 3600 c18 into a 3200 c16 should be fine, right? In real time it 1:1 the same

Except for lower frequency

[ashen spindle]

yeah probably

[gleaming oxide]

Ok now I’m wondering. Does this mean the ram can’t go much beyond 3200 anyways rn ?

[ashen spindle]

idk what that screen means

[gleaming oxide]

sry was eating
memtests integrated speed test. did both read and write. on 1 and 2 byte size steps we had only 1600mb/second meaning effetively only 3200 mhz in raw performance i think

[ashen spindle]

might be set to that or memtest only does jedec speeds so at 3200max, not sure

[gleaming oxide]

in the stability test it ran on 3600 and i doubt that memtest would limit to 3200 in a speed test in an era where we have 6000+
hmmm
probably zen2 just limiting in general, 3200 and 3600 have little to no difference in speed tests i found in the internetanyways

Gotta look for cable ones

[stable cave]

Cable ones don't work that well, you want the adapters since they are 9nly wires, no chips

I hate the adapters because the cable end is so big/long

wooting is kind of the same, so fitting

[wheat plume]

dont think the speed is any faster but go off I guess xd

maybe 3fps more than LCD in some games

[severe phoenix]

If you're getting 27-28FPS, it can make all the difference

😛

But I think mainly it's the 50% battery life, incredible display, runs quiter and cooler by a big degree and is lighter

[wheat plume]

the only time my deck gets hot is when playing Switch games....

Switch emulation is heavy on battery life too

Man, I cant wait to get a bigger Deck, you can really notice the 0.4 inches of extra size!

[halcyon moss]

Is the BOE panel only used on the OLED LE models?

hi guys can you recomend a good futureproof PSU in budget for 7800x3d, Asus TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS, rx6800 from asus to be upgraded for new amd GPU that will come in future or 4080.

[ashen spindle]

750w or so is fine, get something from a good brand like seasonic in that range

[wheat plume]

When they visit XD

[wheat plume]

oo

[analog sinew]

yeah do you know any burgers?

[wheat plume]

yes

but none of them are visiting Ireland anytime soon 😢

OwO

Is this the new "Super Scary Sideways Screen" message replacement? xd

LOL

where it belongs

[fair gull]

ah we are back to unfounded windows hate

[final flame]

that windows hate will become real once windows 12 releases

[crisp granite]

There are reasons to hate windows

But Linux doubles down on about half of why windows sucks

So…doesn’t mean much from a Linux user

If you want to suffer, there's the I_WANT_A_BROKEN_WAYLAND_UI environment variable lol

[fair gull]

[smoky frigate]

[gusty kiln]

[analog sinew]

[smoky frigate]

"playables" sounds apt for this tripe

[wheat plume]

O.o TIL Gnome Foundation got a 1 million dollar donation....DAMMNNNN

Next million to KDE please

[smoky frigate]

some alcohol and cocaine might do them good for all I know

[wheat plume]

Nah, thats what they use to come up with stupid decisions to remove transparency on the terminal cause "it causes lag on old machines"

Certainly didnt cause lag issues on my old dual core AMD Athlon laptop with 2GB ram

even XFCE terminal has transparency....and thats a desktop meant to run on super potato hardware

[stable cave]

Hey can someone help me with my wooting it won’t turn on I tried to do the steps in the video and it still the same thing

If anyone has the chance can someone help me plz

[smoky frigate]

??? they are so full of shit lol. but I like the desktop, so maybe their tyranny isn't totally unfounded

[reef patrol]

Please stop spamming channels asking for help. You made a thread in the support channel. Now be patient and wait for help - And maybe help others help you by including more information about what specifically isn't working and where (screenshots help)

[stable cave]

Ok I mean this in the nicest way possible but I know u guys got people to help but everytime I see someone post a thread they get the chance while I am on wait

[reef patrol]

It's a community, not a paid tech support hotline.

[stable cave]

Ok but y I am being skip to be help tho

[reef patrol]

Maybe you're not providing enough information for someone to know how to help?

[stable cave]

I mean this in the most respectable as possible I do send pictures and what is happening on the keyboard

I say every info I got

But I am sorry for being a pain in the ass but I just want you guys to help me

[ashen spindle]

its also sunday 10pm, not prime time for people to be working

[woven laurel]

check again

ooh nvm

im not reading well today

[stable cave]

Guys look

😦

My wooting is done lol

[reef patrol]

Post it in your support thread. Much more likely to receive help there. 🙂

[steady tartan]

You got hacked by Hackerman®

[stable cave]

lol

at this point i dont know what is happing to my keyboard

it wont turn on lol

[latent mural]

what does enabling XMP in my motherboard bios do? i know it boosts fps but does it overclock anything?

[mild dome]

XMP stands for eXtreme (causes Xs are cool) Memory Profile

It clocks the RAM up to specification the manufacturer set, otherwise it runs at baseline jedec specs

[latent mural]

i dont atleast 😭

[latent mural]

ty

dunno where to start, the most ive ever done was i think enable TMP 2.0

thanks!

[hardy idol]

the guy's building a 3 cpu system wtf?

[steep creek]

[wheat plume]

[pale sigil]

They never did.

They just assumed because they knew how to fix a dodgy scart cable connection.

[wheat plume]

ayooo, Windows 10 small taskbar on 11

[reef patrol]

The what now?

[wheat plume]

WIndows 10 taskbar has the option to use smaller icons that made the taskbar a lot thinner

11 removed that and made it even thicker

[reef patrol]

If you say so?

[raw zephyr]

windows 11

https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

[wheat plume]

That's broken on the new updates

[reef patrol]

Only semi broken

I'm using it right now.

[ashen spindle]

learn this one simple trick called hiding the hotbar to ignore however it looks like, corporations hate it!

[reef patrol]

I'd go insane having it pop up constantly if I momentarily pass the area 😄

[ashen spindle]

Would you actually move the mouse there though that often

[shrewd sluice]

no one would

[digital cliff]

I don't think I've had a taskbar per se in years to begin with teehee

[shrewd sluice]

especially on laptops

[pale sigil]

Meanwhile I don't really mind the Windows 11 task bar

Is will say, I question how I had my task bar at the top for years.

When I go to my laptop I ask myself what was I thinking.

[vagrant pagoda]

taskbar on top is actually good

i never use icons or start menu though

just use search for everything to open

and alt/windows tab to swap

[final flame]

I prefer bottom taskbar, I use the start menu and search to open apps mostly
I don't use desktop icons

[gusty kiln]

same, my desktop is pitch black

start menu is my app drawer like an android phone

[final flame]

kinda would be my ideal desktop

still designing it, so those empty boxes are just there as placeholders

[gusty kiln]

[final flame]

current desktop

Music Display

[gusty kiln]

nice

[final flame]

kek, forgot this was a thing

[pale sigil]

So android? XD

Because that's what it screams of

[final flame]

it's closer to macos tho

[naive notch]

what is the name of this wallpaper?

[final flame]

in terms of layout and design

Thank you

[wheat plume]

Ayo
ZorinOS finally got Gnome 45

Their first gnome 40 release

https://blog.zorin.com/2023/12/04/a-sneak-peek-at-zorin-os-17/

DESKTOP CUBE 😍😍💜💜

[final flame]

looks similar in design to chromeos

https://assets.zorincdn.com/videos/releases/17/spatial-desktop-cube.webm

but man the cube lol

[wheat plume]

I wish gnome workspace previews were larger in the Overview

They are teeny tiny ...
I use the Just Perfection extension to make them larger

Way way way too small

The vertical workspaces in Gnome 3 were way better than this

Especially for dual screen

[steep creek]

Well it’s gnome after all 😁

[wheat plume]

I still have no idea why TF a project called GNOME has a FOOT as their icon

[final flame]

https://tenor.com/view/gawr-gura-gawr-gura-cry-about-gif-22034968

[wheat plume]

Oh yeah
I forgot ZorinOS is made in Ireland

[timber mantle]

This is unsettling...

[wheat plume]

Yeah....

[halcyon moss]

What year are we in? 2010? (or when ever compiz was the shit)

[wheat plume]

I loved compiz 🥺🥺💜
