I mean with the current track record at least it seems being under sony completely would be good

So, given current state of affairs, Bungie gets taken over by Sony, new expected IP teased by Bungie ceases to be and they will be taking care of pumping out live service games for Sony?
ashen spindle
not really what happens in other sony studios
gran turismo maybe but what other sony studio game would be a live service game?
old marlin
trust, the split from activision means destiny 2 will become great 
old marlin
not really what happens in other sony studios
didn't they shut one major one down not too long ago
also why would sony stop development of a game at this point
umbral heron
Well, all studios are subsidiaries of PlayStation Studios, division overseeing gamedev studios
Bungie seems to be taken over by Sony Interactive, so it may not be exaclty the same as with other Sony studios, Sony wants Bungie to get them into live service games and another platforms
old marlin
if development is quite far might as well release it and milk a playerbase for at least a bit
ashen spindle
Sony wants Bungie to [...]
speculation on your part or is that said anywhere?
umbral heron
"Through close collaboration between Bungie and PlayStation Studios we aim to launch more than 10 live service games by the fiscal year ending March 2026."
https://www.eurogamer.net/playstation-plans-to-launch-more-than-10-live-service-games-before-march-2026
ashen spindle
ah interresting
still that would mean a new teased IP would even more likely be made then if they want to branch out?
umbral heron
still that would mean a new teased IP would even more likely be made then if the...
I guess that it will be made, but it won't look like it meant to look like at the start
ashen spindle
I mean, maybe? but is that a bad or good thing?
umbral heron
When it comes to live service games I'm really skeptical... Especially with money-milking corpo like Sony
Interesting
Still, it's 6 new titles, quite a lot 
ashen spindle
sure fair and all, just at least so far sonys track records had ben good at least
dislike it as much as MS buying blizzard but at least the track record is opposite of xbox studios which is good
umbral heron
True, MS and Xbox studios are on a whole other level

vagrant pagoda
am5 is dead to me since x8 chipset slots have been vetoed
They said am5 until 2025
And a leaked slide says 2026
astral haven
its possible they could turn it around
am4 got the first x8 chipset slot after 3? years
vagrant pagoda
It's a actual amd thing or just no oe did it
ashen spindle
we might get rdna4 teaaser at ces and am5 could get more chipsets for zen5 idk

There are 16 and 32 Lane versions
So they still made PEX
astral haven
yea but its dead
vagrant pagoda
That's what I love about my x58 board
astral haven
gave up on consumer
vagrant pagoda
Every slot except for one is x16
Plx was never a consumer
That's why it added over $100 to a board
vagrant pagoda
They're 32 Lane is not that much
astral haven
its over double that -_-
the switchtecs are the only ones under a grand but they barely squeak under that
on my current pc i have 6x8 using x8 to 4x8 via a PLX switch

lol ofc not
i spent under 600 all told including risers, zero chance to get even just the chip alone for that price
vagrant pagoda
I'm seeing list is $150 for the pex89032
astral haven
what would also be cool is a board that does 3x8 5.0 1x4 4.0 nvme no chipset
id take that
vagrant pagoda
Which is 32 Lane 5.0
astral haven
yea reread that lel
vagrant pagoda
Can see switches for sale anywhere
astral haven
i cant find any shipping before 2025
vagrant pagoda
Yeah microchip isn't for sale anywhere for pcie 5

So you can't even compare pricing
astral haven
literally can
just look at the gen4 stuff
gen5 would be nice but 🤷 if amd hedt cpus CBA to even properly fill out with gen 5, the msdt to hedt conversion boards shouldnt bother either

Amd has wat 8 less 5.0?
astral haven
48 vs 64
astral haven
except its 3 grand vs 2 on the low end
and the 2 grand one has more pcie
and more mem slots
and no glue or chiplet nonsense
and who knows the gaming perf because noone will review the intel

Does anyone know of a keyboard manufacturer who claims that one of their keyboar...
Probably some smaller companies but keyboard polling rate doesn't really matter
grizzled pagoda
im well aware it doesn't matter
i also know that at least some corsair keyboards and some razer keyboards straight up lie about doing 4000/8000
zenith silo
For the most part I've just heard about random groups of like Korean/Japanese dudes making 8khz he boards
Not anything from big companies
umbral heron
Razer claimed one of theirs is 8 times faster than other keyboards an it was around 8000Hz polling iirc
zenith silo
Yes but it wasn't actually faster than wootings 1000hz
Wasn't it slower than steel series even
grizzled pagoda
i was testing a huntsman v2 earlier today
and as soon as i tried setting it to 4k/8k it was all noise
no clear polling rate at all
grizzled pagoda

might look into that, thanks
zenith silo
no clear polling rate at all
Yeah I think that has to do with the scan rate, which is what wooting does better than anyone else
grizzled pagoda
oh i misspoke
zenith silo
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's the scan rate?
grizzled pagoda
the razer was clear as day it was doing 4k 8k report and 1003 scan
the corsair i was also testing
could do 2k scan and poll
and above that was just noise

Good fps xd
real island
hello, i am using r5 3600 with rx 5700, but i am only getting ~100-180 fps in valorant and fortnite. i gave up on optimizing, ive tried everything already, even resetting everything too.
i use a 240hz monitor in 1080p, with graphics on lowest settings, i am looking to upgrade my cpu to get consitently 400 fps.
ideally, i dont have to change my motherboard (x570), or upgrade any other parts..
which cpu should i get? i looked into r9 5900x and r5 7600, im not sure which would be more beneficial for what i need
ashen spindle
if you just want to switch cpu get a 5800x3d
for anything else you need to switch your motherboard and ram
iron wave
Good fps xd
It's locked and I haven't bothered to change it.
ashen spindle
yeah that sounded low but idk how fn or valo fps numbers look like
gusty kiln
my guess is maybe bad ram
ashen spindle
oh maybe
gusty kiln
or ram at stock
ashen spindle
but even better ram isnt going to get to 400 if thats to goal
and without changing board the 5800x3d is the best bet
ashen spindle
I mean there are reasons to go above, ideally 2x hz rate and such
gusty kiln
that's true for latency
iron wave
AMD?
iron wave
Wild to see them do 4P.
ashen spindle
well it's not a cpu
and the blades in the el capitan super computer is 8 in one blade
iron wave
Oh? I thought APUs were.
ashen spindle
well, sorta
iron wave
Eh whatever, nothing I'll ever use.
ashen spindle
this is basically a gpu but they use 4 chiplets, one of them is replaced with a cpu chiplet in this variant
vagrant pagoda
I mean it has x86 cores
ashen spindle
oh yeah you wont use this and it's going to be some years before that version of tech comes to consumer lol
iron wave
Only x86? That's crazy.
vagrant pagoda
Crazy thing is look at the pcie on that thing
ashen spindle
vagrant pagoda
Also
Is that fucking mosfet under and over the chokes?
Or just some crazy tiny DC-dc module?
ashen spindle
idk
vagrant pagoda
That means you could fit like 8+ of the pcie versions into the APu server
ashen spindle
My head hasn’t understood how all the interconnections would work so maybe idk
vagrant pagoda
The APUs have Eypc style iodies
So it will have 128 lanes
Means you can fit 8 x models in therrw
iron wave
what else would it be lol
AMD64.
iron wave
SP-IOV?
ashen spindle
AMD64.
64 bit is just an extension of the x86 architecture
Uhh sr iov short explanation is one device acting as if it’s multiple devices to the host, it’s for VMs and such

Haha true, nice to see these innovations though
Haha I did not know of this
real island
my guess is maybe bad ram
i have 16 gb ddr4 clocked at 3600hz so its not ram, i did everything to optimize my software and hardware..
i gave up, i tried for 2 years to optimize, asked at least 7-10 people to help me optimize both online and in person, all of them are genuine pc building enthusiasts too
its time for upgrade
real island
and without changing board the 5800x3d is the best bet
okay ill look into that for boxing day, thank you very much

I mean, you're fine at 100+ FPS.

A subscription model doesn't make sense if they're not going to update the software every day, every month, or every quarter. They should ask for a reasonable fee based on the frequency and value of updates provided.
fair gull
some people paid thousands of euros one time just to get a perpetual license of adobe suite back then
some people just dont want to perpetually pay for something they might not even wanna update
its sort of like subscribing to get the latest and greatest pc parts on release for like 200eur a month or so
id rather pay a few grand upfront and not upgrade components for a few years
prob saves me money in the long run and works just as well

The subscription business model can lead people into significant debt. Sometimes, it can be difficult to cancel a subscription for a service that isn’t used frequently.
A one-off payment that will help you manage your daily funds more effectively.
"If one individual falls into deep debt, it could potentially lead to the next person also falling into debt. This pattern could continue, escalating from a domestic to an international level.
This situation can be likened to a domino chain - when one falls, the next ones follow suit. This could potentially happen in the future."
That's my wild thoughts.
mild dome
Yeah I've seen a lot of reports that companies will try as hard as possible to make unsubbing difficult
Hide the button away, make you navigate through multiple pages, and then multiple "Are you sure?" prompts, sometimes with vague wording like "Aren't you not sure you want to not remove your subscription?". This usually happened with smaller subscriptions, but I can imagine bigger one would do it too

In general there was just to much shit I couldn't be bothered with. Apps crashed or poorly scaled, the launcher freezing at times, gesutes not being consistent, in general I hated mutli tasking.
Dex is amazing but I don't always want desktop mode.
astral haven
if you want to multitask, your options are dex or windows
pale sigil
And this isn't entirely down to Samsung
I still get some of these issues with my current tab
But I came to the conclusion it ain't worth the insane price tag when I know if be more comfortable with a new iPad Pro.
Especially with their newish desktop mode
And uneque aspect ratio, however I couldn't also justify that after a little.

Then I found this Xiaomi and it's a wonderful balance

pale sigil
make or present
Good question
Can only say presented but he always worked on his iPad and only opened his laptop for attendance stuff and programming.
Which to me is nuts considering how awful iPads were back then.
astral haven
meh imo ipads used to be better
astral haven
more that my expectations were lower
now that i know that surfaces exist, i cant grade any tablet that doesnt have proper window management better than a C
pale sigil
Btw I do think a of my gripes are down to android as a whole, it's only recently they started not being shit on tablets but thered no enforcement on apps to work properly with tablets but it's almost impossible due to there being so many devices.
For example discord on android is a complete joke.
astral haven
🤷 i use it just fine
pale sigil
Tsblet wise anyway, phone wise still treated like second class.
astral haven
i use it in dex 🤷
pale sigil
Fair enough
Dex is great though
Really really nice
Id love to just connect my phone and use Dex as a desktop but it has limits and I hate samsung
Fuck samsung and knox
astral haven
🤷 i havent run into any issues with dex itself
although since i plug in my entire kvm, my phone bogs down for a minute while trying to get all of the usb working
and it almost always ends up outputting audio to the headphone jack on my microphone rather than my display
pale sigil
Does dex still only support 60hz
astral haven
yea
i was in the beta when it supported 120hz but they removed it 😦
it was excellent while it lasted

Pixel you can do that without fucking anything up
astral haven
nope
pale sigil
Yes
astral haven
again no
pale sigil
Google literally has a tool to disable and re-enable boot loader for custom roms.
There's no tamper bullshit
And no tripping titan
astral haven
banking apps still whine untill you apply the fix
pale sigil
Worked fine for me.
astral haven
maybe your rom auto applied it?
pale sigil
Play protect or whatever it's called worked fine.
Forgot what it's called
Begins with an s
I think
astral haven
play protect is unrelated
pale sigil
I'm trying to think of the name
astral haven
point is tho, the experience is down to the rom
pale sigil
Begins with an s I think? But regardless Knox physically being an issue because you want to do something with a device you own is bs
I despise anything that makes it hell on earth to use the device you own the way you want.
astral haven
its literally a button you press that it explicitly explains the purpose of
pale sigil
What?
astral haven
if you install the custom software, you miss out on these 4 features
and your warranty
pale sigil
Since when did Samsung let you unlock the bootloader without flashing? Also if you do it literally triggers Knox fuse.
astral haven
yes
pale sigil
Pixel it does not void warranty and Google provides you a tool to do this.
astral haven
and the pixel has none of the features that samsung disables
pale sigil
I can't just disable this shit though
Samsung literally say fuck you
And not even give you the choice to go back.
That's my issue.
Also I'm pretty sure Google has almost all features
astral haven
look i know you arent happy about it
it would be better if samsung were able to insecure boot while still keeping the option to secure boot, but its not possible to compile your own backdoored kernel for a samsung and pass off the phone as being unmodified on ebay
pale sigil
Google let you but you are forced to wipe everything
Etc
Why can't Samsung do that?
astral haven
nope
pale sigil
It's bs
astral haven
the user would have to know to reflash their phone externally, where a samsung makes it obvious every time you turn it on
astral haven
but they would have to know to do that
astral haven
nope
pale sigil
You just click a single button
astral haven
if you know to do that, its easy
but google provides no mechanism to inform a buyer that that needs to happen
astral haven
xiaomis have a mechanism for informing a user that their phone has been flashed?
pale sigil
Yes
astral haven
and they keep the warranty?
pale sigil
Yes
astral haven
wrong
pale sigil
So does pixel
astral haven
pixel does but thats bc they dont have a mechanism for checking
pale sigil
Xiaomi doesn't void warranty on flashed phones
I should know because I did it and asked but also they state it when flashing.
astral haven
not true for any phone that is getting android 14
pale sigil
Sorry what
astral haven
yep look it up
pale sigil
But you can literally apply for it
Via their tool and website
The only thing I know could potentially void was rooting
@wheat plume help
astral haven
🤷 i read the news, im still considering the 14u but the whole changing of the policy has me a little skeptical
pale sigil
Link?
pale sigil
Oh hyperos
astral haven
yea so the phones stuck on android 13 and earlier arent affected
pale sigil
Dude
astral haven
but if you want 14, and all future phones releasing are fused
pale sigil
"The company says you’ll need to apply for permission to unlock your HyperOS device via its forum."
Same shit
pale sigil
But that's not voiding the warranty
astral haven
and samsung at least lets you update your phone still
astral haven
?
pale sigil
"Xiaomi confirmed to us that the aforementioned restrictions were only applicable to the Chinese version of HyperOS."
Again same shit as now
astral haven
thats referring to "users in China will need to reach “level five” on the company forums to unlock the bootloader on HyperOS devices."
pale sigil
Once you lock the bootloader again updates will probably be fine again.
Just like now....
astral haven
wait so how can a user tell if a phone is tampered with?
pale sigil
Once I relocked my bootloader on my phone I was golden again, now it's probably not automated like it used to because of AliExpress.
pale sigil
wait so how can a user tell if a phone is tampered with?
It says in the bootloader and upon boot it has been unlocked.
astral haven
ah it only does that on certain devices apparently
astral haven
again tho samsung gives you the same options, + a few more
pale sigil
You have to brute force the bootloader to unlock
astral haven
you just cant get the extra samsung features while also unlocking, and you cant pretend a phone that has previously been tampered with is stock
astral haven
and thats a choice you make
astral haven
if you buy a used pixel, you will never know until you wipe the phone yourself that the phone is safe
pale sigil
Actually
Pretty sure the pixel says on every boot
Ye
I remember doing it myself
astral haven
when did they add that?
astral haven
definetly wasnt on the 3a or earlier
good on them that they added it eventually
question tho is it trickable?
sterile plover
pale sigil
To relock the boot loader you're forced to install fresh os from their flash tool
pale sigil
question tho is it trickable?
Not that I know of
There's barely any ROMs in general tbh
astral haven
yep
next question is do you need a rom?
i know my samsung has a few things locked behind adb, and there are a few camera limitations that are locked behind root, but that was removed in later phones
astral haven
🤷 which one
astral haven
the stability and speed of samsung are still unmatched
astral haven
GrapheneOS is good yyup
sketchy
sterile plover
not sketchy at all
astral haven
If Knox was not a thing
Again, why do you care about Knox? What from Knox do you use?
sterile plover
you have to exprience it to know
astral haven
not sketchy at all
I'm not talking about the software itself, I'm talking about the developer...
pale sigil
Indeed
astral haven
Has all of their code been externally audited yet?
pale sigil
Tbh
I want the option, I don't wanna be fucked for having it.
I've spent many many years exploring ROMs
Even with my last phone using pixel experience which was nice.
astral haven
It is a shame that there's no way to do it securely, and I mean pixels that support being re-locked haven't been around long enough to prove that they are secure.
pale sigil
Samsung it was hell on earth and I vowed to avoid it at all costs.
Also it doesn't void your warranty
At least not in EU/Europe
I had my Samsung fixed just fine and they were made aware before I sent, they also re-installed stock.
astral haven
Again, though, you gain features with Samsung that you have the trade-off of losing if you want to use it like the other phones
pale sigil
I gain features that Im not allowed to use if I choose to go back to Samsung's os? Yikes
astral haven
Well, it could be better, You're still net positive.
pale sigil
Punished for exploring alternatives and punished for going back to stock.

Become locke and relock bootloader after graphene
pale sigil
Till they sort this out I won't ever ever like Samsung and Knox
It's extremely anti consumer
No one owns anything anymore
astral haven
Again, though, nothing that you have on pixel isn't doable with the Samsung even after root
But generally, with the Samsung, you don't even need to find a custom ROM to get extra features because they're either built-in or part of good luck.
Good lock
empty wren
Samsung probably also has the best fingerprint tech at the moment
Only a few other phones aside from that have ultrasonic sensors
empty wren
Put the fingerprint back on the back where it belongs
Okay fair point to that
Or power button
astral haven
Or power button
And even if you glue your phone to a table, there's always that yea
Now I'd take both
pale sigil
But generally, with the Samsung, you don't even need to find a custom ROM to get...
I disagree
I love stock android a lot
astral haven
But using the fingerprint sensor to bring down the notification tray and have an extra button
pale sigil
I love gcam is is vastly superior
astral haven
I have gcam
pale sigil
I love Googles photos, message app and dialer which is superior
astral haven
And my gcam is better than yours because my cameras are better and more flexible
pale sigil
But in general I really really hate oneui
Idk why but I hate it so much oml
It's infuriating
I've tried so much
I use my friends phone (s22/23ultra/ and been eyeing the flip for a while

I've been on nova for the past 10 years now and it's been fantastic through lg and samsung

It's great don't get me wrong
But I hate the Google search bar

Google removed the ability for launchers to see recent
astral haven
Ah
Sounds like a pixel issue
Oh hmm I guess that means the Samsung provided options are all that I get then
empty wren
Google removed the ability for launchers to see recent
Lawnchair
astral haven
Literally exactly what he said
empty wren
A shame other launcher developers scoffed at the developer
I remember people thinking Google would appease them
And we are many versions in
iron wave
I mean, when has Google done something that resonable?
empty wren
I mean, when has Google done something that resonable?
When they killed google +?
astral haven
Appeasing users
That's some Tolkien level stuff
empty wren
Lol
astral haven
When they killed google +?
That got killed because it wasn't making money
empty wren
It was a such a nice platform not gonna lie
There was tie ins into other parts of their system
astral haven
And literally every complaint that people had about them injecting it into everything is now true for the general Gmail account
empty wren
What made me sad is inbox got killed
astral haven
?
empty wren
One it looked nice and two nothing compares to organization
astral haven
What was that?
empty wren
A more UI friendly email app that had awesome bundling
Could do reminders in it
Ect
It got killed
astral haven
So you mean regular Gmail now?
empty wren
Eh...
true quest
it was more than that
empty wren
I still dislike how the bundling works
empty wren
it was more than that
Thank you
astral haven
Only difference is when you enable the big bubble mode it's pill shaped rather than boxes
astral haven
I still dislike how the bundling works
That's one of the comments from the Wikipedia of inbox by gmail
empty wren
Lol

Part two of AoC day 7 is kicking my can.
I keep making stupid mistakes.
What coding with a headache does to a person.
astral haven
Yea I'm not sure what you mean by bundling
Do you mean that Google added extra wasted space between different subjects?
iron wave
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I do like and dislike that the website prevents you from doing a binary search for the answer to prevent botting, but.....

No
I mean that made it slightly nicer looking but that was an option you can compress the size of the blocks
Anywho imagine a purchase you made comes as email
Inbox formats it a pleasant way with reminiscence of a receipt
It was just eye candy to look at for me and made using email much more pleasant
Not only that
But it had much better filters
astral haven
Ah yea I've seen that on the desktop and I wish it would come on mobile
empty wren
Ah yea I've seen that on the desktop and I wish it would come on mobile
Exactly
And in my opinion it feels right on mobile
Like this is my opinion but a PC feels right at home at Excel or large data
The screen is bigger and you have a mouse
astral haven
Eh I do my work email on my work phone
And I get thousands of emails a week
Tho I do mostly have it sorted and the notifications each have their own folder
empty wren
That is a thing too
It is just inbox was magical because it just worked correctly every time and no need to manually assign so
That filter never seemed to have arrived at gmail despite Google's claims
astral haven
Wikipedia disagrees
astral haven
Common misconception
empty wren
Look look to be fair I guess one could read some parts from it
empty wren
Wikipedia disagrees
I raise your wikipedia by X.com the truest news source
Anyways gotta figure out later why my GPU fails to provide a signal to the monitor when pc wakes from sleep, despite the connection not being adapted and people noting that adapters cause such an issue with arc cards. Wad able to override by hitting the HDR toggle key combination and then that stopped in aiding me.
astral haven
Dunno how to actually fix it but win ctrl shift b should bring it back
empty wren
Yeah the graphic driver reset
I might try HDMI later could be display port issue or maybe a beta driver fixed it. Intel has made serious strides just a shame this at least on stable driver is an issue. Maybe DDU did not fully wipe the Nvidia driver parts. I have no idea anymore.
I did find a Nvidia folder with some extensions in it, which confused me.

128% sRGB, creating a profile with DisplayCal, and then using the output ICC profile with novideo_srgb is the best method

Does the wooting 60 he keyboard.. work on PlayStation 4 Pro
As a standard keyboard for games that support keyboard and mouse? Yes.
As a controller? Not without additional hardware.
And you'll still need a PC to configure the keyboard.

I just try last night and My keyboard doesn't even respond to fortnite so I just you guys
And I think my PlayStation think is a controller because every time I block it in I need to. I need to choose my account again

you might also need to disable NKRO

The thingy next to the +
i have a vga1 and vga2 connected btw but there are 2 power connectors on vga1
analog sinew
double connectors are not unusual and not anything to worry about
maybe the card is not seated properly in the pcie slot?
did you just build the pc or what
analog sinew
well, even without a card it should boot
