[misty saffron]

going outside can be dangerous as a brick falls on your head

[smoky frigate]

though it may be extreme

[empty wren]

Sorry I misread your question

I thought you wanted a solvent to coat some object

Fair point though

Existing is dangerous

[empty wren]

Yeah

But it is through, and the jewelry ones are an affordable tool

Some people in here used it to clean their lekker switches

[smoky frigate]

❓ removing crusty old lube, or did they drop it into a swamp?

[empty wren]

yeah

to be honest

soaking them in a bowl works fine

with ipa 70-100

[quasi lichen]

How long does it take them to ship the keyboard

[latent mural]

Depends if you ordered it when there in stock or not

Even if you were able to order it doesn’t mean they were in stock

[latent mural]

I think u can go here for to see ur order https://hub.wooting.io/order/view?

Not sure though

Nice pfp

[latent mural]

For me I ordered it on the 17th of December and it’s estimated to come on January 21-29th

[zenith silo]

Man I use 99% iso to clean so much stuff

Not much it won't be able to clean 🤣

[latent mural]

Yo

[vagrant pagoda]

Tons of stuff iso won't touch

I know it won't touch DP460

MEK won't even phase it

[final flame]

iso is not good at all for cleaning sticker residue
stuff like googone is better

[reef patrol]

Sure... if you have anything like it.

Iso works in a pinch.

[zenith silo]

Yeah we have a 5 gallon of 99% iso at all times

[zenith silo]

Also I've never had issues using iso for removing sticker residue

Also haven't used it much for that though

[umbral heron]

I dunno, iso most of the time failed me with stickers residue, it just makes residue clump together, but it's still sticking

[digital cliff]

you just need to spend more time

when I took off the silicone pad off the uwu for painting the case, I rubbed it a good while with ipa until it was finally clean

[umbral heron]

I mean, yeah, in a pinch if you only have iso on hand it will work, but there is also stuff which does it better

Also, how did you stick it back? Wondering about doing a mod to mine too

[digital cliff]

carpet tape!

just very thin doublesided tape that has the same kind of adhesive as common duct tape

so I guess doublesided duct tape it's on there solid af now, but can be removed if you even have the need

the other option is contact glue which would pretty much permanently bond it there but I felt like it was too much of a nuclear solution

[umbral heron]

[digital cliff]

https://www.ikh.fi/en/carpet-tape-2-sided-56171-10m-50mm-ts028 pretty much identical to this, mine was just a store brand

[umbral heron]

Carpet tape it is then, thank you

[digital cliff]

my pleasure

[hardy idol]

99% ansi is better

[uncut eagle]

alcohol is better

[umbral heron]

Ah yes

[reef patrol]

[plush wyvern]

Never heard of that lol I know iso tho

[smoky frigate]

best adhesive remover is mixing isopropyl and white spirit 50/50

it doesn't harm plastic and turns adhesive residue into easily removed boogers (if it doesn't dissolve it completely)

[fair gull]

i use acetone to remove the plastic around the adhesive

[digital cliff]

propan-104-ol

[hardy idol]

Lmao

[mild dome]

Orange oil is also good at removing adhesives, and it smells good to boot

[wheat plume]

emp_details = get_employee_details(emp_id)
id, name, month_salary, year_salary, leave_days_available, leave_days_used = emp_details

Can we all appreciate how easy it is to assign each value in a list to a variable in Python?!

[ashen spindle]

so you discovered for loops

[wheat plume]

but this doesnt need a loop...

[umbral heron]

Sure you can do x,y,z = a with lists, you can also with dicts, arrays, etc.

[pale sigil]

You can also do 1,2,3

[ashen spindle]

I mean if you go over multiple elements then it loops, if you write for(;;) or if syntax hides it doesn't change that it has to loop over overy element

[umbral heron]

Sure, under the hood it's still a loop
But syntax is oh so much nicer

[wheat plume]

^

[pale sigil]

@umbral heron started playing palia again on my deck, how is controller support still so bad oml

It somehow got worse.

[wheat plume]

I thought list == array in Python?

[ashen spindle]

and in other languages you have stuff like LINQ to hide it more or less the same just with different syntax ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[umbral heron]

Oh my, I haven't played Palia in a while Good to know they haven't fixed controller yet -.-

[pale sigil]

They just released it on the switch.

How does that even work on the switch if controller support is "still in progress"

[umbral heron]

People don't seem to be unhappy with Switch's control scheme

At least in any article I could find

[umbral heron]

List is Python native, array is more or less a wrapper around C arrays
Arrays are more memory efficient, because... C, but when it comes to something other than math and very specific cases lists are way to go

[halcyon moss]

yeah unpacking is nice

[wheat plume]

ahh!

[halcyon moss]

list slicing is also super nice in python

[digital cliff]

ahhh yes programming

I know some programming words!

...but I forgot them all

[pale sigil]

[umbral heron]

Compiler isn't working

Oh, I remember how I nearly failed a semester because of Java...

[pale sigil]

Bruh

Same

[wheat plume]

[pale sigil]

Hated it.

But due to how our uni worked, getting a very high grade on another thing saved my ass.

[wheat plume]

oh, complimentary pass? xd

[pale sigil]

No?

40% is pass but if I got 30% it still counts in the overall % so if I got 90% in the other task which was worth more overall it works.

It was a weird system that I abused.

For two modules I was bad at

And how I was able to get around failing exams which I was so bad at doing.

Me and exams are a bad combo.

Although later on i I found out I had dyslexia and another special condition which explained a lot.

[umbral heron]

In my case it was "how do you make a ServerSocket, I guess I just declare it, right?"
No you dummy, with ServerSocketFactory, of course!
I had no issues with basics, but when it came to some more Java-like stuff and all of that Java EE bullshit...
Somehow slipped with 53% on this exam (51% is pass)

[pale sigil]

For me it was everything java

I can't remember what it was but we had to make a bunch of programs with it.

Can't even remember what we used.

Was so long ago at this point

[umbral heron]

We had mostly theory, most of the programs we wrote we were already familiar with from other programming classes
Still, I can't write Java for shite

[pale sigil]

Other stuff was using stupid tools to make a game, very low marks as it was more of an introduction to the concept of variables etc which I knew

[ashen spindle]

https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition

[pale sigil]

The fun part was programming with Lego robots, I gave up and just made a card game instead. Lego robots were an effort.

[umbral heron]

Most fun I had was when we were programming ARM chips from old Nokias, it was actually interesting to do something on such platform with limited resources we had
Arduino stuff was also cool, especially when the whole group was still struggling with connecting LED to board, while we were figuring out how to make MP3 library for chip we've connected to it

Unlimited power

https://videocardz.com/newz/fsp-preparing-2500w-power-supply-with-four-pcie-12v-2x6-gpu-power-cables

[old marlin]

at what point will they put on two power plugs

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean anyone actually running 1000w+ in North America should have a 220v outlet installed anyway

All modern PSUs are more efficient at 220v.

[old marlin]

that's not even a modern PSU thing

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes it is. Old transformer based psus dont care, as when you switch them to the 220v winding, the output of the transformer is the same.

[old marlin]

ah

fair

you'd still have less loss in the wiring

that will absolutely make a difference

[vagrant pagoda]

Maybe

[old marlin]

not much

[rotund crypt]

i wonder what the point of this device is

[vagrant pagoda]

To power a computer?

[rotund crypt]

I mean

2500 watts lol

if you have multiple 4090's for ai

you can just use multiple psus

[vagrant pagoda]

Why have multiple PSUs, when you can have one.

[rotund crypt]

if its like

[umbral heron]

More efficient, takes less space

[rotund crypt]

4x the price of a 1000 watt

get 4 1000 watts

ig it takes up less space yea

[vagrant pagoda]

Also PSU are most efficient in the middle of their power output

You don't want to run a 1200w at 1200w 24/7

Running a 2500w at 1200w is much easier on the components as they are in their most efficient operating range, thus making less heat

[rotund crypt]

efficiency is also really important at this level

I wonder if cybenetics will make their measurements on this once it releases

[vagrant pagoda]

When talking about a 1200w at 1200w vs a 2500w at 1200w, the 2500w will literally make half as much heat.

[rotund crypt]

if space isnt a concern you could just get 2 1200 watt devices no

that will distribute the heat to 2 seperate devices

[vagrant pagoda]

Why not run 10 250w?

[rotund crypt]

because thats lower than the TDP of a 4090 lol

[vagrant pagoda]

So

[umbral heron]

Just jerry-rig several PSU outputs into one 12-pin

[severe phoenix]

https://youtu.be/6H9XeH8G_mM

[vagrant pagoda]

Multiple isolated psus can be combined into single rails

[rotund crypt]

they clam its 80 plus platinum with 94% effieciency at typical load

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes

[rotund crypt]

lets see how that holds up once the device is actually released

[vagrant pagoda]

80plus rating is for 50% load

[rotund crypt]

ik

[vagrant pagoda]

Platinum can go down to like upper 80s at 100%

[astral haven]

That's often not true

Especially if you pay the same amount for the two psus

[astral haven]

But yea this would be far better for generating heat
Most psus have poor efficiency low down due to excess idle power, and the more psus the more idle power

[wheat plume]

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-xposed-owoify-owo-whats-this.4116359/

[fair gull]

xposed isnt even a thing anymore is it

isnt everything magisk modules nowadays so you dont break safetynet and such

[umbral heron]

LSPosed took over I guess https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed

[woven laurel]

yeah this doesnt look reliable

https://i.imgur.com/blxa6za.png

pass

[crisp granite]

the more weeb pfps on a git, the more reliable it is

this is known

[woven laurel]

debil come here

[crisp granite]

what for, pumpkin?

[umbral heron]

Arden, don't go around and hammer everyone
Everyone knows the more anime girls on the repo the more trustworthy it is

[vagrant pagoda]

I'm saying single PSU, using that as a bad example

[woven laurel]

if that was the case. wooting software devs also had anime profile pictures.

[vagrant pagoda]

This is a platinum, and it's the only 2500w on the market for desktops right now, so it is true.

[umbral heron]

[woven laurel]

[astral haven]

Not only is it not on the market, it's also not 120v compatible, plenty of adapters available for server psus

[umbral heron]

I've yet to see a rom which has FM radio support

[vagrant pagoda]

Never said it was 120v and sever PSU won't fit in most cases due to length

I have a mostly working koolance PSU. They were neat, if ran on 220v it raised the ocp so it went from 1200w to 1700w

[astral haven]

And assuming peak efficiency is 50% that's still 72w
Cheapest 1300w psu is 108w at the same load

[vagrant pagoda]

There are sub 80 silver 1200w psus

So it would be way over 108w

[astral haven]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/145066423548
The fsp uses its own connector, this would be for the dell

[astral haven]

Cheapest titanium which the fsp also is

And you cant possibly mean to say that the fsp is gonna be 160

And you are also trolling if you think that switching to 240 doesn't automatically provide efficiency benefits either

[vagrant pagoda]

It dose

But even with it, you are still more efficient at 50% than 100%

[astral haven]

On that psu sure

But it's not double

If you pay less for the 2 1200s then sure potentially

[vagrant pagoda]

You also can't fit 2 psus in most cases

[astral haven]

But if you spend even a reasonably close amount on the psus, it'll end up barely ahead

[astral haven]

Yes and you cant get 240 in your office in most markets, your point?

Fortunately it at least should in theory support 210w, but I suspect efficiency takes a dive

[vagrant pagoda]

It's speced 200-240v inputs

[astral haven]

Oh and ofc the 2500 is less efficient than the ax1600i anywhere over 100w, and that's with the 1600i at 120v
The 1600i at 240v is unbeatable except for the mij

[astral haven]

And yet 2/3 phase electricity still screws up everything it touches

208v not 210v my bad

[vagrant pagoda]

You have no idea though

Most of these high power units only fall short of the 0%/10% tests for higher ratinfs

[astral haven]

120>240 is generally 4-5% efficiency improvement
120 >208 is 1-2%
208 really screws with equipment

And that highly depends on the psu
Generally the higher the wattage, the lower the ratio goes

[vagrant pagoda]

That because of phase rotation not voltage though

What 480v single leg to a center tapped step down is best.

[astral haven]

Ofc, but in the US, you don't get to choose what you get

[vagrant pagoda]

208 has always been ass

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes you do

[astral haven]

No, the average American does not

[vagrant pagoda]

Most big buildings are 480v with stepdowns for 240 now

Old shit is 208

[astral haven]

The average American doesn't live in a new big building

The average American however can afford to buy a case with a second psu mount

Which doesn't help your efficiency

[vagrant pagoda]

Average American lives in a house or small apartment that is just split phase.

[vagrant pagoda]

Probably not actually lol

[astral haven]

House sure
Small apartment? Citation needed

[vagrant pagoda]

They can't after the psus either

[vagrant pagoda]

Duplex/triplex is extremely common

[gusty kiln]

all mesh O11 would be my dream case

no, link?

ooo nice

throw some magnetic dust filters on it and GG

[vagrant pagoda]

Smh why not put notuas logo in there?

Would have been a cool accent

[astral haven]

🤷 idk, citation needed
And the next issue is most of the 200+v wiring in the house is only for the garages and kitchens for newer places
Bedrooms, offices and living areas don't get that treatment, which massively balloons the cost of getting that psu

Does anyone have a recomendation for a M.2 -> OCuLink board that I could put in this M.2 slot under a GPU?

[ashen spindle]

would just look at any of the ones appearing on amazon that have some rating, dont think prices vary much and it's not something that should be hard to make

[latent mural]

yo

what is prntscr on wooting

[iron wave]

Yeah I'm just not super sure on how the clearences would work out.

[iron wave]

A key?

[ashen spindle]

oh for the sizes yeah no idea

[latent mural]

yeah

[ashen spindle]

https://wooting.io/quickstart

[iron wave]

Also it seems like a lot of listings may or may not have cables/PCI-e boards so that's going to be fun.

[ashen spindle]

what do you need it for? havent seen oculink used for much aside from on handhelds

[iron wave]

My case is full and I want another PCI-e slot.

Yes I'm insane.

[ashen spindle]

yeah consumer could do with some more pcie alas we dont really get it

makes sense then to use that adapter

[iron wave]

Because that was pretty old, I got a massive deal on this stuff, and Threadripper is really expensive for what my income was like and will be like for a little while longer.

Plus this stuff is fun.

I know I have three lanes left to play with.

The really long traces are a touch spooky, but I suppose if the plan is to shove it though a cable anyway...

0.o

I guess the idea is for you to snap off the extra pins that have no function.

[ashen spindle]

wild

[iron wave]

I don't see why they couldn't just like, not include those.

But I suppose without a PCI-e bracket it makes some sense.

https://www.amazon.com/NFHK-22x30mm-22x80mm-Extension-Compatible/dp/B0CJ2N9548
This is kind of wild.

It just feels like the connector should be closer to the contacts.

Wait a sec, is the can connection on the back of that connector lifted?

Looks like a weird angle.

https://www.amazon.com/xiwai-Oculink-SFF-8611-Data-Cable/dp/B0BQ2G38YJ
This looks decent, hard to tell what exactly it's supposed to come with though.

This oculink pci-e converter enables belowing applications.

Looks like it's just the board.

[ashen spindle]

my guess would be because its a common pcb length and maybe easier to get the structure to not break vs something super short?

[iron wave]

I get why the board itself is that long, but you could just move the connector closer to the other end and have the same length.

I think I will just buy a M.2 adapter for now, if it doesn't fit I'm going to have to change my tactics.

[ashen spindle]

I would guess that's to put it away from the conneciton point to let cables fit better perhaps?

[iron wave]

Oh that's fair.

The M.2 slots do have some bulk to them.

I think these are funny.

I understand the niche, but it is still funny.

There are a ton of listings for that red one.

[stone thicket]

any1 knows free easy video editing software? (i just want to crop)

[iron wave]

KDenLive is decent enough.

Alright I ordered a board.

[wheat plume]

??

whats the issue here?

[ashen spindle]

read the error message, what does it say

[fair gull]

tmw you only assign data to it in an if block and have no fallback

[wheat plume]

I have to declare it as an empty list first?

[fair gull]

not necessarily

[woven laurel]

read the message

[ashen spindle]

well, that could work

depends on what you want to do when the if case is not happening

[wheat plume]

fixed it...

[fair gull]

😮

so did you try googling it

[wheat plume]

didnt know you had to declare variables as empty before using them in Python

[ashen spindle]

it now doesnt error out but is this the way you want to return it if it is false?

no thats not the case

[wheat plume]

Ive not done that a lot in this code

[ashen spindle]

that wasnt the issue

[wheat plume]

what was?

[ashen spindle]

remove the assignment

then pretend like you are the compiler and go through the code

[woven laurel]

im actually saying the answer but you dont think about : what to send back if i dont get in the if statement

[fair gull]

oh god.... sometimes i wonder how lana passed her exams

[ashen spindle]

what happens when if case is true, what if its false

[wheat plume]

same

[ashen spindle]

so what happens if the function gets called and the if case does not happen?

[fair gull]

very basic rundown of a very basic fallacy beginners run into with interpreted languages

[woven laurel]

ok we are spoonfeeding this

[wheat plume]

yeh, my code when I call the function checks if it returned nothing or a value

[fair gull]

because lana otherwise wont understand

[wheat plume]

I already have a check in place if that if fails

[woven laurel]

if what fails?

[ashen spindle]

yeah but you are trying to return something you never made if hte if doesn't get called

[fair gull]

so how about explictly typing it that way and returning it that way

python has quite flexible type hints

[woven laurel]

what should the function return. so that the other function knows it fails

[ashen spindle]

also another reason why I hate whitespace languages

brackets make it so much easier to see whats in what scope

[woven laurel]

I hate it too and I use it for AI/ML

[wheat plume]

yeh...

[steep creek]

same

[wheat plume]

Unless the coder does the ending brace at the end of the last line 🤦‍♀️

[thick elk]

If you just want to crop handbrake, avidemux, or just plain old ffmpeg will do nicely.

anyway time for bed

[fair gull]

a very easy fix to your function is also inverting the IF and doing an early return with the expected null or whatever python uses

prob NIL

[wheat plume]

if () {
  code }

🤢

I have seen this before

AND I HATE IT

[woven laurel]

thats a you issue

I like that over python

[wheat plume]

no, this shit is awful

[thick elk]

Just do this instead () && code

[wheat plume]

🤔

[ashen spindle]

I like weirdly placed brackets over no brackets

[fair gull]

so id just

if verify(id) is false
  return None

actually build the data since id is valid

return dataorwhateveryoucalledit

[woven laurel]

cheats

but this is the facto standard

[fair gull]

yes early returns are a standard that is quite established nowadays

[woven laurel]

you always check for the null case, the exception

its the fastest execution code

[fair gull]

well idk about fastest tbh but mainly makes code more readable as you dont stuff the expected path into a big if chunk

[ashen spindle]

ehhh that doesnt really matter nowadays

compiler be smart

[fair gull]

you stuff the exception into the if so the rest of the code isnt nested into something

[woven laurel]

well its still true

[ashen spindle]

not guaranteed

[woven laurel]

ofcopurse you can make an exception

dont be that person

[fair gull]

a human parser would deffo be faster at reading an early return

[ashen spindle]

compiler likely makes it the best way either way and you should always put readability first

if you get to the part that something like manual inlining or similar is needed to get more performance instead of not doing a double for loop, you are senior level anyway

[woven laurel]

[fair gull]

i feel getting bad compiler optimizations requires some real code gymnastics

[ashen spindle]

its not bad compiler optimization but ambigous stuff where you need to confirm it with compiler hints or such

[fair gull]

thats true

[ashen spindle]

but unless you do super low level stuff it's more likely you have an inefficent function call in your main loop and that gets you 10x the performance

She's making a glorified terminal by sending the menu over the socket.. It's an interesting approach

[fair gull]

thats fine but we basically had to spoonfeed her the answers to her easily googlable questions for her to understand what errors actually mean or what certain concept actually are.

im all for learning to code your way but in 99% of lanas cases she can google it and get a way more thorough answer than from us which would usually be from stack overflow

[pale sigil]

Nothing wrong with that.

Everyone learns differently.

[woven laurel]

dude

why are you pinging me in my sleep

[pale sigil]

Why are you on your phone.

[woven laurel]

because you pinged

[pale sigil]

Sure.....

[reef patrol]

Why are your pings enabled during sleep? 😛

[pale sigil]

You have a problem if you're using push notifications. 😉

Tbf I have notifs enabled when asleep because I'm too lazy to setup auto DND but barely anything sends out sound or turns on screen for me.

[halcyon moss]

weird

auto dnd is so nice

[pale sigil]

It is

[halcyon moss]

just set it up. it takes a couple of seconds

[pale sigil]

It's just my sleeping is so inconsistent but like I said nothing really pings for me.

[halcyon moss]

well that says more about your terrible sleeping patterns than Do not disturb mode

[pale sigil]

Well ye I said that xd

Done xd

You happy? :p

[raw zephyr]

just disable all notifications and use the app only when you have time ;)

[pale sigil]

I have dms enabled

That's it

[ashen spindle]

Well there is everything wrong with it if the same question gets repeated over and over then

[rich sand]

the X2H is unreal, holy shit

[halcyon moss]

i have no idea what we're supposed to be seeing there

besides 2 white mice

[rich sand]

X2V2 left, X2H right.

[timber mantle]

I have the OG X2. The only issue I have is that it feels a bit low and I prefer my Atlantis more due to the hump. Does that V2H fix that in your opinion?

[pale sigil]

Can I get advice on monitor arms

Would anyone here say getting two single arms is worse than a single arm that holds multiple monitors?

Ik kinda debating it because it feels like it'll be easier to deal with it

[ashen spindle]

not much of a difference just get whats better for your setup

[rich sand]

based on the shape yeah, it has higher hump and would fill ur hand more.

[timber mantle]

That's what I thought. Now that they're doing a Founders Edition of the X2V2H. I might be interested.

I love the color. Is the coating improved? The original felt a bit slick.

[rich sand]

i never tried the atlantis so im just letting u know based on the shape comparison. but i have tried all these mices

[timber mantle]

I'm talking about the coating, not the shape. Sorry if that was unclear.

[rich sand]

well i didnt try the older x2 so i cant compare it to the new ones. But no complaints on the coating

[timber mantle]

My understanding was that Pulsar mad a change with the Bruce Lee edition onward but I haven't handled one of the next gen yet.

[timber mantle]

Gotcha thanks.

[rich sand]

the side buttons are my biggest complaints, theyre so small

the scroll wheel is also hard to press down on sometimes, but some ppl get used to that.

but the clicks are some of the best i tried, theyre so CRISP

[pale sigil]

Booo u

[timber mantle]

I prefer mech over optical usually but considering the issues Pulsar has had I get why they switched.

[rich sand]

if u really want the best coating, go with deathader Faker. its unreal

more Pros are also using this mouse. so its going mainstream

[timber mantle]

I am staunchly anti-Razer so it's a no-go for me.

[rich sand]

if its because of their software, u dont gotta use it. All settings can be on memory

[timber mantle]

I had a Naga Trinity for a few years and it was fine but I detest their software.

It's more that I'd rather support a smaller company

They tend to take more risks and gamble with new tech or designs.

[pale sigil]

I really like the cable management on this one

https://amzn.eu/d/b71e1Vm

But this one seems to be better but worse for cable management?

https://amzn.eu/d/dRAqdH9

[halcyon moss]

cable management can easily be done with straps

[digital cliff]

what's the purpose of monitor arms?

[pale sigil]

To be the arm for my monitor

[reef patrol]

A lot of monitors have really limited height adjustment.

[pale sigil]

Pretty much

[reef patrol]

Also easier to do multi monitor, since you can adjust the arms to make the line up and stay lined up.

[ashen spindle]

makes it so they take up less space on the desk if the have big stands otherwise

[reef patrol]

Also a good point. Gaming monitors often have that wide boomerang arm.

[ashen spindle]

and easier to adjust if you have a desk you use seated and standing

I also need to get an under desk cage for wires, apparently the frame I got comes with some but it looks meh.

[digital cliff]

you have a 3d printer

just print some clips that accomplish the same

that's what I did except I was even cheaper, and printed those ziptie spiders that I stuck on the back of mine and ziptied cables there

[pale sigil]

I do not yet

Seems to be what comes with it?

[halcyon moss]

[sharp badger]

Should say what's included?

[pale sigil]

"Cable Management Tray"

Ah ok their website they sell this

Maybe I should just bring the box upstairs and look myself

But it's 29kg

And that's playing with fire alone

[sharp badger]

Amazon basics had some good monitor arms they where rebranded Ergotron if i remember correctly

[pale sigil]

Yes

But expensive af

[scarlet token]

what desk is this? can i get it inside the states?

[pale sigil]

£100

[pale sigil]

Afaik yes

T2 Pro Plus

By MAIDeSITe

Ain't on the cheaper side though

[sharp badger]

The Amazon Basics monitor arms they have now don't look that good 😅

[pale sigil]

Regardless I understood what you were referring too.

If I had an ultra wide id be more investing

But for my two 27" it isn't worth it

[scarlet token]

is this desk just like the secret labs one they came out with?

[pale sigil]

Probably same or better but not as overpriced

[sharp badger]

The Huanuo might be good enough

[scarlet token]

what size is yours for reference?

[pale sigil]

Secret labs one definitely has more QoL stuff though

[pale sigil]

That pic isn't mine

[scarlet token]

this one?

[pale sigil]

https://amzn.eu/d/2R8CHzO

Here

Look at the specs

[pale sigil]

Other than ergotron I don't know much about monitor brands

Huanuo seems to be good as long as you don't use them for Samsung ultra wide

[sharp badger]

Ergotron and Amazon Basics(Old verison) are the two i knew off

https://standingdesktopper.com/best-monitor-arm-in-the-uk/#HUANUO_Single_monitor_stand_8211_Best_versatile Saw this from a reddit post

[sharp badger]

Yeah looked at that too

[pale sigil]

Tempted to get one of each

[sharp badger]

Look at reviews and do Pros/Cons and narrow it down 😄

[pale sigil]

The other one for my left monitor

Pricey one for my main

Reviews are pretty damn solid

[sharp badger]

Well why not? could return one if it's not right for you

But if you want to match stuff then 2x

[pale sigil]

No I mean the first one will be used for the cheaper monitor 😅

The left one

The main monitor is always on the expensive one

Because id probably clamp it on the left side

I don't wanna spend much on the second one tbh.... £58x2

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AI dubbing.

His left chin is twitching so hard

[ashen spindle]

tldr the alphacool cooler that igorslab tested as revolutionary is a regular cooler

[reef patrol]

I'll say this. If he had used B roll, I wouldn't have noticed unless he said it. AI voiceacting truly is here.

[ashen spindle]

and the guy who tested it pascal made really deflective statements

and really stupid comparisons

[reef patrol]

I'll be honest. If this actually kills off german dubbing on TV, I will fully embrace it.

[ashen spindle]

honestly yes

german VA is just atrocious

[reef patrol]

Cause DAMN that is hell on earth. Especially when you visit Poland and they dub the dub.

So you've got english VO, then half a second later the german overdub begins (which is pretty enthusiastic, proper VO) and THEN just after that, dull, polish "I am reading from a piece of paper, oh wow" begins.

[umbral heron]

That's why you don't watch the dub
It's atrocious in many cases ;-;
And when it's not it's usually well-known actors who do the dub, so you recognize their voices and it completely throws you out

Props to Sony for actually taking some less known VAs, Polish dub in GOW is decent

[rotund crypt]

the polish overdubbing goes HARD

dont hate on it

[umbral heron]

I shall

[rotund crypt]

the same, monotone voice dubbing over 50 different characters

without even trying to change his voice

is just based

[umbral heron]

"Why are you watching movies in English" that's exactly why

[rotund crypt]

that shit is so funny

there is this super emotional scene being dubbed over by the same monotone voice

you have heard in 50 other movies before

to be fair, from what i can tell

its becoming a thing of the past

[umbral heron]

Tomasz Knapik has voiced thousand of movies and TV shows, and he's still going, to a point it's a meme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPWWe0hhJuc

[rotund crypt]

this is insane drama, will actually watch that

I always saw igors lab as reputable

[sharp badger]

It's kinda like LTT a few months ago

[rotund crypt]

I watch ltt more for the entertainment and not the technical accuracy so that didnt bother me too much

but thats not the case with igor

[sharp badger]

Ok 👍

The AI is quite good on the video though

[rotund crypt]

its ai translated? lmao

didnt even notice

[smoky frigate]

it's pretty cool how it imitates his accent

regarding the content of the video, shame but so far it's just one tester

[rotund crypt]

they did improve over the last few months from what I can tell

less video uploads with higher quality

so something actually changed which isnt super common

[smoky frigate]

you can tell that the mouth movements are jittery, would probably have been better to have them blur instead

[ashen spindle]

the issue as he said is it's not the first time from that tester, no acknowledgment, no retraction etc.

[smoky frigate]

https://web.archive.org/web/20231101051942/https://www.igorslab.de/personalaenderungen-bei-igorslab/

[ashen spindle]

oh god this makes it even worse

[rotund crypt]

yeah I saw that pascal was like quitting

because of a new job

[ashen spindle]

no thats not the issue

[rotund crypt]

kinda weird that they deleted it amidst this controversy tho

[ashen spindle]

look what the company is he supposedly went to

[rotund crypt]

LOL

omg

I did NOT remember that part

thats hilarious

[ashen spindle]

that means this could be done by him on purpose or something in alphacool going bad

[old marlin]

that is ridiculous

pascal is misusing the YT copyright system to take down his terrible response videos lel

[ashen spindle]

the german one is still up

wait even the gnlish one is still there for me

[rotund crypt]

they mant their own response

pascal made a video

and used copyright to take it down himself

[ashen spindle]

ohh his own

wtf

[rotund crypt]

to make it seem he didnt delete it himself

[ashen spindle]

lmfao

[smoky frigate]

no, it was a reupload

part 2 is still online

[rotund crypt]

how much is igor at fault here?

Im like 11 mins into the video

[ashen spindle]

I mean, he is to some degree

published under his name, the explanation didnt stick around, he didnt take the articles down when it should have happend, he said he cant stop pascal from making a statement etc.

but it's all his website

and pascal can continue doing tests

during this era it was less cursed since the memory controllers were on the chipset, so it was more up to the motherboard how the memory support would look

[crisp granite]

so relieved to learn that blower cards aren't dead

yet

https://en.overclocking.com/msis-rtx-4090-aero-now-available-for-purchase/

NVidia doesn't like these because...well

they cannibalize their "quadro" line

safe to say that's the only way I'll be able to get a reasonably sized flagship in coming generations

[old marlin]

Might as well buy 2 tiers down

Cause that will hit a brick wall with thermals

[crisp granite]

these are two slot cards less than 300mm in length

dedicated workstation cards

if they could actually play around with the dimensions of the blower cards, they could definitely make good coolers that would fit most systems in that format, perhaps by making a three slot design, making the card a tad longer, perhaps even just making the card wider so that the heatsink can have larger area without making the card thicker and longer...

but they can't, supposedly

either way, these supposedly do keep the 4090 both cool and getting comparable scores in benchmarks

...noise cancelling headphones are almost mandatory though

[crisp granite]

oh wait, NVidia did just that in their FE cards while making a...semi blower

[halcyon moss]

other room cards

[crisp granite]

didn't think they'd still be floating around though

that's what surprised me

exactly what I was thinking haha

but NVidia has the whole quadro in all but name lineup

and apparently selling 4090s in that form factor kills those sales

also helps that a blower in said form factor can only do so much

TLDW: OperaGX lets OperaGX users get free nitro trial but clicking the button on their website. that site generate a token that can be used in Insomnia or other tool to automatically send a request to that site to generate another link

tip you can have syntax highlighting to make it better

just start the first line with ```python

[wheat plume]

oh

&quot is "

ok, it works xd

LOL

[vagrant pagoda]

But it's only for new users though right?

[wheat plume]

anyone who hasnt had nitro in the last 12 months

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah so not amazing

[wheat plume]

and you need a valid payment method on your discord account cause it will charge you for the next months and so on

[thick elk]

Definitely, It's one of those first time nitro trials, really not worth anything imo.
As for payment methods, it also serves to prevent people from farming the discounts.
Opening new nitro accounts to boost servers and such.

[wheat plume]

not first time

just long time of not having it trials xd

[thick elk]

Well either way you can't create 100 discord acounts with free trials to keep a server boosted or something like that.

I personally keep my Discord Nitro free.

[wheat plume]

or save all the codes and use them later as you need

[thick elk]

I don't know how long these keeps, it's not like these types of codes have been rare historically at least.

[fair gull]

most of those headers arent even needed

[wheat plume]

yeh probably not

IDK why Windows should be there, doesnt matter the OS (Id assume) unless OperaGX only wants Windows users to get the promo or OperaGX isnt on Linux but I think it is

[stone thicket]

can someone help me?

with that

[thick elk]

Looks like a quick hack-job type of code sure but why should you go through the effort to check which headers are actually needed

[wheat plume]

with what?

[stone thicket]

nitro

[fair gull]

just download operagx, go to the promo, get the link and uninstall gx

this exploit is basically useless

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah it's one free month every year

There are so many free month promos it not worth it

Maybe if you made a ton of accounts with prepaid cards, and cycled them for a month each over the year to boost your server

[ashen spindle]

damn, 50 million ps5 sales since launch and the both xbox series combined is less than half of that

means the ps5 is selling just as well as the ps4

[halcyon moss]

Nitro. Is not worth it

[fair gull]

even then youll just get banned at some point prob

[vagrant pagoda]

Yep

Even without exporting the gxl thing you can get enough codes for that

[gusty kiln]

Guess that's why Microsoft recently said they are changing their game pass and console approach recently

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean PC sales are booming for gaming

People would rather PC+PS5 vs PC+Xbox

[ashen spindle]

yup as pc and xbox makes little sense

[vagrant pagoda]

And consoles are loss leaders generally, so I bet ms makes more from GP on PC than xboz

[ashen spindle]

ps5 aint

xbox no clue but with how slow it sells and the sales they need, yeah that hurts even more

[vagrant pagoda]

It makes money now? Last year Sony said it was still a loss

[ashen spindle]

lmao no

they said in 2021 it no longer sells at a loss

[smoky frigate]

sales look to be a bit mediocre at first glance, but we're also just at about the halfway point of this gen's lifecycle

[ashen spindle]

yeah I think it's a week behind ps4 sales or so

then the pro series will come out

[smoky frigate]

that's pretty good, considering you couldn't get any consoles for a few months

[ashen spindle]

i can see them take #3 or 4 in that list, if the pro is good and they have some compelling games

if not it will likely be around the ps4 mark

[smoky frigate]

I can't see the X axis without a subscription to statista, but I'll go on a limp saying that the hump at around the halfway point marks the release of the PS4 slim/pro

so if that's anything to go on regarding sales ratio of upcoming PS5 models, it won't double their sales but they can expect about a 15-20% boost

I think it will not be reaching the sales numbers of the ps4, but even then it puts microsoft to shame

it'll more likely be equivalent or slightly less than PS3 sales in my (rough) estimation

[ashen spindle]

I mean ps5 is keeping up and we have had not many amazing sales

now think that gta6 will come to ps first most likely

[umbral heron]

You can clear cookies and local storage for statista and it'll show you whole graph

[fair gull]

id assume the far left is the first month or so from preorder

[ashen spindle]

its yearly then monthly thats why it spikes there

[smoky frigate]

oh shit! that's a twist

[fair gull]

id imagine its because of numbers released

[pale sigil]

Has anyone ever accidentally plugged a USB C cable into the HDMI port on their mobo and shory their PC?

Because Christ I have

[vagrant pagoda]

Lmao

Like a USB a into Ethernet!

[fair gull]

totally never ever done this especially not with customer pcs

[timber mantle]

And with no really killer exclusive either.

[ashen spindle]

not killer but they have some good ones

gta 6 will blast the sales up though

[timber mantle]

Gross.

[ashen spindle]

maybe something else before even

[crisp granite]

Deckard copium?

[woven laurel]

deckard cain?

[crisp granite]

Valve Deckard

supposed replacement for the aging index headset

[woven laurel]

[crisp granite]

don't doubt it for a second

PSVR2 seems rather impressive

given the rather unimpressive hardware it's running off of and general cost associated with such a setup

[vagrant pagoda]

I hope eye track makes it into PCvr in a big way

[crisp granite]

Added to steamVR

according to sadlyitsbradley

What actual devs do with it is to be seen

[vagrant pagoda]

The PSvr2 works on PC now

Idk if eyes tracking dose

It dose

You gotta pay though

Well I should say. They have shown it working

I don't own a psvr or the driver

There is more on the paetron

But who knows

Not like anyone has lied about that shit to get money

[steep creek]

Those lights look so small for the size of that car lol

Sorta reminds me of a fiat multipla

[umbral heron]

Russian multipla! And they managed to make it even more ugly

[sharp badger]

Yeah well maybe not the Multipla is hard to beat 😅

[umbral heron]

Well, it definitely looks like Multipla which came to Russia and was going back home after several bottles of vodka and samogon
