[rough osprey]

rip

for me its more of a time thing when confirming stuff with like codes

having to open the app and all

[formal lintel]

yeah exactly

Also how it doesn’t bring up the autofill codes until you open the app

[pale sigil]

Use Gmail

Problem solved.

[formal lintel]

I’ve just started transitioning everything to hide my email and custom domains cause I got sick of it

[rough osprey]

i sadly have to

[pale sigil]

Wdym

[rough osprey]

you could use apple email adress for everything

oh you do

[pale sigil]

I thought that was apple login only.

[formal lintel]

apple has a “hide my email” feature which gives an anonymous alias iCloud address per site that you can deactivate which just forwards to your iCloud address

[pale sigil]

Ah ye

[formal lintel]

it’ll be like [e-mail] or smth random like that

[pale sigil]

I thought that was apple login though

[rough osprey]

ye icloud email exists

[formal lintel]

nah login does the same thing but a bit different

[rough osprey]

haha

[pale sigil]

I just use a specific email for junk logins

[cursive summit]

I like this guy's reviews, pretty cool ladhttps://youtu.be/Jkc3DUMBg6w

[pale sigil]

I used to use alias emails

[cursive summit]

And one of the very few that reviews AFMF

[rough osprey]

wait i can even use my domain with icloud+

[formal lintel]

yeah I use the domain with iCloud

[pale sigil]

But I decided to just make a whole new account that's isolated.

[rough osprey]

I might transition to that then xD

[formal lintel]

works really well and can do catch all so I just make up an email when I’m signing up for stuff

just careful not to use it with sites that have a strong potential to get breached lol

[rough osprey]

does google punish your experience in any way when not using gmail adresses

[formal lintel]

ah don’t think so

I mean I still have my Gmail for my Google account but I’m like stopping using it for new stuff and moving important stuff over

[rough osprey]

ye ofc

[pale sigil]

Gmail you can make alias emails without making them which is nice.

[rough osprey]

kinda insane value with the lowest icloud+ tier

[ashen spindle]

He’s an idiot that has had blatantly wrong benchmarks and never revisits it or even thinks it’s wrong

[formal lintel]

I know you can do like [e-mail] but I found lots of places don’t allow the + in the email

Is there another way?

[rough osprey]

when does apple add scrollable and more interactable widgets tho

for notes and stuff

[formal lintel]

The good thing about hide my email is you can deactivate and delete the aliases so per website you can just stop spam

[rough osprey]

and you know who sold your data xD

[formal lintel]

Exactly 😂

[rough osprey]

guess i have something to do now

emails are so fun

[cursive summit]

Well they do revisit AFMF so, idk

[raw zephyr]

said no one ever

[rough osprey]

:(

[umbral heron]

Ha! Unintentional 200iq play, I had none of my important files on the OS drive, so I can just clear it whole outright

Format time

[pale sigil]

I have everything stored on my NAS

[vagrant pagoda]

Been doing this since 98 XD

[pale sigil]

So I don't need to worry about that myself

[vagrant pagoda]

Multi partitions, and now multiple drives

[rough osprey]

i have no important files

[umbral heron]

All important important I keep on NAS too
Important are just configurations, scripts, customization for my PC all that stuff which is losing would be a bit of a pain, but I had them on another drive and just symlinked to folder in home, which is nice

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle do I

[halcyon moss]

whit what money

[pale sigil]

Money I earned

[old marlin]

YO

DO EEEET

[steel hawk]

curved
no

[pale sigil]

Yes

None curved is horrible

UW anyway

Just wish it had gsync

[ashen spindle]

Maybe once you decide you use your desktop and don’t want to do everything on a handheld cD

[old marlin]

1800R on a 34" UW is fine

[pale sigil]

Don't use my flawed logic against me.

[old marlin]

you wouldn't want it to be flat at that size

[steel hawk]

I just hate curved monitors hehe

[pale sigil]

With UW it's kinda necessary

[steel hawk]

I understand

[pale sigil]

I couldn't deal with it at all

[balmy vector]

They’re really pulling at my wallet with the oled sales

[old marlin]

friend bought an oddyssey G5

27" 16:9 with an 1000R curve

he legit could not use that

[ashen spindle]

Also with oleds I’d always look at the latest gen and not cheaper older models because newer ones should last much longer or have other improvements like Text clarity

[balmy vector]

Yeah gen 3qd is looking mighty nice

[ashen spindle]

Like I’m happy with mine but I’m eagerly awaiting the models shown for 2025+ for when I’ll eventually have to upgrade

[balmy vector]

Really interested to see how text holds up with the woled layout change

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-fluid-motion-frames-tech-officially-launching-on-january-24th-no-more-preview-drivers

Good

Except it doesn't run on my RX 5000 so fuck you

Although it'd be fun to see an Nvidia's alternative

[halcyon moss]

or intels

[cursive summit]

Intel

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/919974270132711444.webp?size=64

[halcyon moss]

xess isnt bad right

[cursive summit]

It's okay

But it's Intel

So who cares

[halcyon moss]

ah, a classic vex take

[cursive summit]

Alchemist is ass

If Battlemage is good, I'd happily consider Intel

They have great driver support, I am happily welcoming a third competitor in the market

... when they start competing

[halcyon moss]

im not talking their hardware.

[cursive summit]

What else would we talk about

[halcyon moss]

xess

[cursive summit]

Which runs on..?

[halcyon moss]

everything right

[cursive summit]

Pretty sure it doesn't?

[digital cliff]

what about everything left?

[cursive summit]

Doesn't XeSS face pretty low adoption anyways

I mean if Intel wants to bless the world with a software based frame generation app then that's cool

But considering they locked that little tech demonstrator suite that unlocks E-cores their full capabilities with good scheduling, behind 14th gen CPUs only when 14th gen is at best just a refresh of 13th

Not expecting much

Still waiting for Battlemage

[halcyon moss]

i read the other day that they are going to release that scheduler thingy for older gens as well

[ashen spindle]

XeSS runs on everything

[ashen spindle]

This also works on 12 and 13th gen now

[halcyon moss]

vex the news poster missing some news

[cursive summit]

When did they even fix that?

That page still lists that only 14th gen has any improvements

[ashen spindle]

Announced at CES

[cursive summit]

Ah so not a thing yet

Does it still support 2 games as well?

[ashen spindle]

If you are in the page already why ask and not just look

[cursive summit]

That page doesn't list supported applications

It never did tbf

[minor vine]

I need a device for school , I have an old Mac right now it works but not that good , I’m also in the process of building a pc , I was going to get a Mac originally but was thinking about getting a windows laptop for around 3k aed a foldable one with a 3050 and i9 12900H so I could take notes with a pen , was also thinking about getting and iPad as I can use Mac or iPad , I want a Mac to be able to make music anywhere but will struggle to code . I want a windows touchscreen laptop as its lets me take notes with a pen like an iPad , and code easy but all I need to open is Microsoft teams and office 365 and maybe code but we have computers in school for that , the windows foldable will let me game untill I get my full pc (albeit not that good)

[cursive summit]

Hold on buddy, you are all over the place

[minor vine]

I know bro 😭

[cursive summit]

You need what?

Like it sounds like you just want a windows equivalent of a macbook

With touchscreen and all

2-in-1s that actually can game are rare, though

[minor vine]

Not really I love MacBooks and it will let me provide music anywhere witch is what I do , but I wanna take notes at the same time , I will be able to code on my home pc and the computers in school

[cursive summit]

You can't take notes on a macbook?

[minor vine]

It can take notes with a pen like iPad , and game not that good but will do me to hook up to my monitor instead of using. A ps4 to game for now untill my 4070 desktop is built

[cursive summit]

Holy shit what https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/9/24031135/asus-air-vision-m1-wearable-display-glasses-screen

[minor vine]

I kinda want a MacBook and an iPad now I’m sutch a mess

[cursive summit]

MicroLED?

[minor vine]

Might be what i need 🤣

[cursive summit]

You only need one of them, choose which

They kinda do a similar thing lel

[minor vine]

But then thay laptop will let me code easy on windows until my desktop is built and take notes with a pen like an iPad , like Mac and an ipad in one , but I like the apple ecosystem

UGHHH

[cursive summit]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Flow-X13-GV302XV.723823.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Flow-X16-GV601VI.715792.0.html

These got good review scores

https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI-Summit-E16-Flip-A13-VFT.731779.0.html this one less so lel

2-in-1s that can game are pretty damn rare

Only seeing 4 devices from last 3 years in notebookcheck search

[minor vine]

Not that I wanna game just a placeholder for desktop untill I get it thanks I’ll look at them

[final flame]

Yea, 2 in 1s tend to always have worse GPUs in them or lack any dedicated GPU

[cursive summit]

If you need a placeholder then just get a cheap-ish 1000$ 2-in-1

With some built in iGPU

[minor vine]

All i play is osu val n fn

[cursive summit]

If you have an M-series macbook then just stick with that

Val's a bit difficult with iGPUs

OH YEAH

Get a Steam Deck

Touch screen, can probably play Val

[minor vine]

2015 intell right now 😭 just tranfered to a school I HAVE to have a device in every lesson for

[cursive summit]

And Deck is like half the cost of a cheap ultrabook

So yeah just get a Steam Deck

Plus, it prolly won't be useless after you get a desktop

[ashen spindle]

Then you need to install windows for games on it and note taking on a handheld is kinda weird

[cursive summit]

You really don't need to install windows for games?

[ashen spindle]

Fortnite and Val need anticheat

[cursive summit]

Proton runs Valorant apparently

[final flame]

I will say personally since I have a iPad pro 12" m1, its very locked down, it has very limited use case for work, notes its good, but not really worth getting it just to be a notes machine

[ashen spindle]

How would Proton run it if you need tpm and have kernel level anti cheat

[cursive summit]

You are right, that was just a shit source that said you can

Tbf the lad can do without valolrant until they get a desktop

Play better games

[minor vine]

Yea I was looking at an iPad for around 500-600£ because for school all I need is note taking , teams and office 365 , but im in computer science and kinda wanna code at home too that’s why I was looking at the ASUs rog x16

[cursive summit]

Pretty sure I saw @pale sigil doing productivity tasks on Deck

If you have a display you could prolly just connect it to a display

[minor vine]

Yes 165hz monitor , on ps4 for now though just moved country n stuff

[cursive summit]

I mean, I would consider a Steam Deck

It's a relatively powerful handheld

You wouldn't spend too much on it

And it would maybe be useful later on

Especially since you are literally looking for a temporary solution

[final flame]

You can do coding all in the browser, but whether you want to or not is a different matter

[cursive summit]

Wait is this actually true?

"APO works by disabling three out of four cores in two E-core clusters. This leaves a single active E-core with all of the shared L2 cache for the cluster to itself (for Raptor Lake, this is 4Mb). Intel has restricted APO to the 14900K/KF that has four clusters of four E-cores and 14700K/KF that has three clusters of four E-cores presumably to leave at least some full clusters functioning. Owners of Intel 12/13/14 gen CPUs with E-cores can partially emulate APO by disabling three out of four per cluster using Windows CPU Affinity."

They just get gains by.. disabling E-core hyperthreading and disabling E-cores?

There's no actual better scheduling?

[ashen spindle]

E Cores don’t have hyperthreading to begin with

[cursive summit]

Woah woah woah

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/993090/view/3874849112275096626?l=english

I have used this before methinks for FSR1

It's pretty okay

Interesting that they came up with their own FG tech

Apparently Yuzu uses this tech and it has very little noticeability on small screens, so handhelds

More wins for Deck users

[ashen spindle]

win for the deck users? why pay when you can jsut use afmf

if your eyes are bad enough to want frame gen on low refresh rate

[cursive summit]

Deck doesn't support afmf though

Didn't they enable that feature only for 700m series?

It'd be cool if Deck got that, but Deck is linux so, they ain't getting AFMF

[ashen spindle]

once its in gpu open I doubt it takes them long to add it to the linux driver

[cursive summit]

We'll see, I can only root for Deck users

For now this FG implementation seems like the only available one?

They prolly can use FSR3 though, maybe

[ashen spindle]

iidk I think using frame gen below 100fps baseline means you should check your eyes

[cursive summit]

That's a bit of a strong opinion

[ashen spindle]

no I am serious I don't understand how people dont notice it, I don't really have superhuman eyes and dont think its usable

[cursive summit]

I don't notice it when upscaling 30FPS with DLSS3

Like, I know you are serious, but come on quin, "check your eyes" is a bit strong for you

Only I can be rood to peeps

[ashen spindle]

I don't think it's rude especially when people in general dont do health checkups as often as they should

[umbral heron]

Format done and done, took me 3 hours
I don't remember my PC running this fast since... ever basically

[cursive summit]

I am actually planning to do that

I haven't reset this PC in about 4 years, so since I got it

I kinda just really want to wipe the slate clean and start fresh

BUT THERE ARE SO MANY FILES TO GO THROUGH N BACK UP

Maybe I should get a cheap ass NAS and just yeet everything remotely useful there

[umbral heron]

In my case it was 2 years, but still, I don't know how it became so slow during this time
I mean it took 2 minutes to boot, now it's like 5 seconds

[umbral heron]

NAS useful, highly recommend 👍

[cursive summit]

Cal my best friend, you literally work with NAS'ses if my memory doesn't forget

Let's say I get a.. 1TB NAS of any kind

Cheapest one

How many polish rubles for one?

[ashen spindle]

dont have data you need to backup and resetting pc is easy

[cursive summit]

That would just work

Not like Fallout 76 just work, but just work properly

[umbral heron]

Just work? Synology and QNAP stuff
If you want something more elaborate then I'd recommend dedicated small PC with TrueNAS, which I'm planning to do soon

[cursive summit]

Hmmm

I have a spare motherboard

Maybe even spare RAM sticks

No CPU though, or case, or PSU

How would one even go about making a NAS?

Like, does it need to be always turned on?

[umbral heron]

Only when you want to access files of course
That's why NAS enclosures are good for 1-4 drives, they need very little power, 10W or thereabouts
For something more PC with NAS dedicated OS is better

[cursive summit]

Although on second thought

I literally have 3 SSDs in my PC

[fickle ore]

ppl dont see what they dont wanna see

[cursive summit]

2.5 tbs of data storage lel

I barely use my 970 evo plus I got ages ago

I can just store the files there

[final flame]

tell that to americans

[halcyon moss]

A 1tb Nas? Just add an extra internal drive

[cursive summit]

What's even better for a NAS, an 8TB HDD or 1TB SSD?

[halcyon moss]

Unless you want the services of a "always on" network share

[ashen spindle]

multiple hdds for redundancy

[cursive summit]

I have no clue how RAID works and I don't particularly care

[final flame]

I personally would go for hdds, cheaper and with a raid setup you won't have much to worry about

[umbral heron]

Lots of HDDs for that sweet storage space SSDs keep in PC

[halcyon moss]

Nas isn't for speed so hdd is fine

[ashen spindle]

if you do something like synology you just select stuff and raid is taking care of with a button press

[cursive summit]

There's like 20 different RAID tiers

I dunno how any of that works

[halcyon moss]

6

[umbral heron]

5 or 6

[cursive summit]

Isn't RAID also like halving your data storage just for "integrity"?

[halcyon moss]

Raid 1, mirror, when 2 drives. Alllows one drive to die

[final flame]

Probably can find a graph somewhere with all the advantages and disadvantages to each raid option

[cursive summit]

Like it takes 2 4TB drives, makes them into 1 4TB drive but it's like "safer" or something

I read ages ago that's how RAID works

[halcyon moss]

Just read a basic intro into raid.
It gets fun with zfs and the likes

[halcyon moss]

With raid 1. Yes

[final flame]

Raid is basically a Buff/Debuff to certain stats
It buffs longevity at the sake of drive space
depending on your setup it even has a passive to tell you when a drive starts having issues and needs to be replaced

[umbral heron]

RAID 0 - takes many 4TB drives, makes (drive count)*4TB volume, but faster
RAID 1 - takes many 4TB drives, makes 4TB volume, but with redundancy, as long as one drive is working it's fine
RAID 5 - takes 3 4TB drives, makes 8TB volume with single drive redundancy
RAID 6 - takes 4 4TB drives, makes 8TB volume with two drives of redundancy

[halcyon moss]

Is that raid 6 correct?

[umbral heron]

RAID 6 is double parity iirc

[halcyon moss]

Ah it's just the drives.
Raid 5 is single parity. Raid 6 double parity

[severe phoenix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNIN9ud9PZU

[old marlin]

Aw one with the same panel releases in a few days btw

[cursive summit]

Raid0 just sounds like a normal operation but a bit better

I guess the drawback is with raid0 you can't make separate volumes?

[umbral heron]

Also that data is striped on several drives
Once you lose one drive you lose all data

[reef patrol]

RAID0 is just a logical merge of several drives. Files can exist spread across several physical drives.
The main attraction is that you have two or more physical drives spinning to provide data reading.

Lose a drive and you'll enjoy data corruption

[cursive summit]

Tbf I fail to see why I would need to RAID anything

Like, how would you even lose a drive

[ashen spindle]

they just die

[cursive summit]

Not a single drive mechanical or solid state has ever died on me

[final flame]

normal drive failure or brownouts among many other things

maybe your ac will start leaking on your pc idk

[ashen spindle]

more drives also means higher chance one of them fails or something gets corrupted

[umbral heron]

You... don't really, RAID 0 is useful when have lots of unimportant data for which you need fast I/O
Also LVM exists

[final flame]

drives tend to fail due to age

the lubrication dries out eventually

[halcyon moss]

Famous last words

[cursive summit]

I do kinda want to replace my Intel 660p

It was a cheap unreliable drive back then

[halcyon moss]

It's unreliable? It's been in my pc for years!

[cursive summit]

It's been some years and while flash is dirt cheap, could get yet another 970 evo pro

Or Sn850x

[final flame]

[cursive summit]

660p did serve well though

[cursive summit]

UwU what does this mean

[fickle ore]

You should get a 905p

theyre kinda cheep

[final flame]

it means that drive sectors are broken

[reef patrol]

Drive slowly dying.

(Or rapidly xd)

[cursive summit]

I recognise that's.. crystalsolidbenchmark or whatever it was called?

[final flame]

the number hasn't changed much recently, it's been at 320 for a while

[umbral heron]

Uncorrectable Sector Count 100% Speedrun

[final flame]

crystal disk info

[cursive summit]

I should prolly run that

See how 660p is doing

I think hwinfo said that my 660p is like in 80% health or so

97% on 860 evo

[final flame]

crystal disk mark is the benchmark
info just gives you important drive info such as smart data for ssds and other statistics

among many other things

[umbral heron]

Ay, not that bad after 2 years of constant use

[final flame]

TYPE
Old_age

[cursive summit]

What does that even mean

What are reallocated sectors?

[umbral heron]

Old_age means it's an indicator which is expected to change with age of drive

[final flame]

reallocated sectors are sectors on the drive that are moved to a different place

[umbral heron]

That's how you know you have high quality drive

[reef patrol]

All drives have spare "sectors" reserved away hidden from the OS and User.

Let's say you have 1024 sectors, you might have 40 additional ones shaved off from the accessible parts. As a sector is worn and damaged eventually, the OS and firmware of the drive will reassign one such sector to a spare one, extending the lifespan of the drive.

But at some point you just run out of them, and that's when the problems start.

[final flame]

aka my issue

Nah it's fine 🙂

[umbral heron]

[severe phoenix]

Hmm so that Alienware uses DSC for 240HZ 4K

[final flame]

as long as my drive isn't in the red I don't care

[umbral heron]

[cursive summit]

What does any of this mean 😄

I see Intel is now below 80%

860 EVO which I got years ago at this point, and been using heavily for large files is 98%

Far more durable drive than 660p

Although 660p is my windows install, so maybe all the small operations been taking a longevity toll

[final flame]

partially untrue
OS Drives get so many more writes on them over time due to the operating system constantly changing system files, cache and temp files

[cursive summit]

Well yeah as I suspected at the end

My 860EVO has seen a lot of big files, but far less operations than the boot drive

[final flame]

total writes is here

[cursive summit]

Not that much tbf

[final flame]

my 970 evo

[cursive summit]

Does the "Available spare" -> 64 means that I still have sectors remaining to be used as backups?

[cursive summit]

Yeah my 970 EVO has seen mainly just movies

Kind of a backup drive

Is this bad though?

This is my "main"-er drive, twice the size of Intel so most stuff goes here

Doesn't even show the total reads and the sector count seems to be used up?

[umbral heron]

Huh, I expected there'll be way more on my OS drive

[reef patrol]

S.M.A.R.T data is not alway super easy to read. But none of your values are in a bad state.

It'd show yellow red lights on the left.

[cursive summit]

Well my 860Evo is about 3 years oldish now

Got it not long after this PC

Fuck no

SteamOS is absolute garbage for anything other than gaming.

[proven furnace]

Thoughts on a 2khz low profile lekker wooting 65, or even low profile switches for current wooting pcbs

[ashen spindle]

1khz on a keyboard isnt making much sense and low profile not much for analog optios with variable settings

[lone void]

Is it better to plug your wooting into the usb-c port on mobo or just use usb 3.0

[proven furnace]

Are there low profile keycaps or flat that would work well for a 60

[proven furnace]

I use the usb C and it works great

[reef patrol]

Well now.

[umbral heron]

Well no, there's no difference at all, there's no way any keyboard would max out USB 2.0 connection bandwidth, and whether it's USB-C or USB-A doesn't matter

Does the lamzu have mouse acceleration by default? I dont see anything about it on the software

[halcyon moss]

Not like ice, press pedal wait for injection to happen and finally go

[ashen spindle]

makes sense, with how teslas are build they dont seem great for renting, even if I think it's sad they are not replacing them with other EVs or at least hybrids

[fickle ore]

ask lamzu bois dawd

[green remnant]

Blawg they said “DPI change?” When I asked

[umbral heron]

Isn't mouse acceleration governed by OS?

[green remnant]

Is it?

[ashen spindle]

yes

[green remnant]

Because some mouse softwares like Roccat, or some others have stuff about it in their settings

I didnt know that, thanks though

[old marlin]

Ye

My brother was a 2 year model 3 owner and switched to a ioniq 5 today since it was cheaper for him

And the torque curve of the ioniq is much more gradual

[fickle ore]

They have the same issue, too quick acceleration

[ashen spindle]

oh I more meant teslas are not constructed in a great way and harder to repair so issues just cost more lol

[fickle ore]

That's not a tesla issue. All EV's just get total'd even in minor crashes bc battery may get dmg'd so it's not considered safe

Not ICE's :p

[old marlin]

Yes

Also ices

Welcome to modern unibodies

If they can get a fastener for 0.001 cent cheaper they will do it

[fickle ore]

Well they're switching to ICE's, go figure.

[old marlin]

Yea because of the torque difference lol

[ashen spindle]

if only there was a way to offer transportation around a variety of stops with easy acces to the **public **so they can **transport ** when they need to... nah not possible in the us

[fickle ore]

Grab in SEA seems to be doing of sorts with their super-app

[ashen spindle]

of course and a certain state almost went ahead and started funding it but a certain someone said do hyperloop instead and now neither exists

[fickle ore]

lol hyperloop

rental bikes are always thrown in ditches here lol

[umbral heron]

Around here there's a simple solution - you have to connect your card to the account, and if you don't return the bike in 24h you have to pay 300zł

[fickle ore]

half of it is prob the elderly/middle aged people that just get pissed when rental bikes/scooters are parked sideways on the side walk

Ive seen lot of grannys doing that

[umbral heron]

Rental escooters are cancer though
In the summer I see them ditched everywhere

[thick elk]

Free bicycles always have been a mistake. Amsterdam tried it first 1965 did not work. unless you do it in some controlled area you need some deposit at least.

But yea the escooters are quite cancerous at times.

[green remnant]

How do I know what skates to use on my mouse? I got the lamzu mini 4k, it had the stock skates which were the 4 mini skates, 2 in each corner on top + bottom. But, I recently replaced it with the ones that came in the box that was 2 big skates, and I have these dot skates left, I dont know which to use and what are the benifits/cons of each one

Tl;dr: which mouse skates do I use?

I heard the dot skates were good; but its a bit confusing

[zenith silo]

when i got mine i knew how to read 🤣

[zenith silo]

xraypads jades/obsidians

[green remnant]

No like.. which is the best form of skates?

[zenith silo]

dots are better

[green remnant]

I’m assuming dots

Like

They are just superior in all ways?

Or what

[zenith silo]

dots are faster/have less friction

[green remnant]

Ok now like

If you remove like

[zenith silo]

if you are bad/have bad mouse control the bigger ones would be easier to use

[green remnant]

So if I use dots it’ll also lead to me having less smooth tracking?

[zenith silo]

if you are bad yes

[green remnant]

If I am bad because I dont know what bad is in this situation would dot skates help me improve

[zenith silo]

does your aim fucking suck? or do you have decent mouse control

[green remnant]

I have good mouse control

👍

[zenith silo]

if you have any bit decent mouse control, dots are superior

[green remnant]

How do I apply these correctly cus theres alot of space for me to put them

[zenith silo]

on my lamzu i put them in every corner + middle towards the edge of the mouse

[green remnant]

Could you send a image if you dont mind?

Sorry if its alot of questions

[zenith silo]

shit photo but this is how i run mine

[green remnant]

Now last question

Or

Second last

When removing mouse skates, is it impossible to put them back on?

And did you notice a drastic change when using dots or just a bit of a change?

[zenith silo]

yeah it is, so long as the adhesive stays on the skate itself

[green remnant]

How would I do that

[zenith silo]

i use a glass pad so it was quite noticeable

[zenith silo]

a bit of heat from a hairdryer and patience with something thin to take it off

[green remnant]

If I have like a cloth pad would it be noticeable? I use a corsair one and can send a image if you need (I dont even know if its cloth but seems like it)

[zenith silo]

its still noticeable, one thing to keep in mind with cloth pads though, you cant push super hard into the pad otherwise the rest of your mouse will be touching the pad

[green remnant]

Alright so now; its ok when skates “bend” when heating them off right?

They get a bit flimsy as expected

[zenith silo]

so long as they dont stay bent/have a crease in them yeah they are fine

[green remnant]

So I just needa straighten them?

[zenith silo]

i would put them back on the little white sheet the other skates came on, and flatten them with a book or something

[green remnant]

Alright thanks so much

Today was my birthday too so it helped alot 🙏

[zenith silo]

if they dont wanna stay flat, hit them with some heat and put a heavy book on them for like 15m

[zenith silo]

happy birthday, you just get the lamzu?

[green remnant]

Actually, it was yesterday when I got it so I really got to use it today

[zenith silo]

how are you liking it so far

[green remnant]

Its alot lighter than my old one and nice

The wireless is immaculate

[zenith silo]

i love the shape on the atlantis

[green remnant]

And the quality control is amazing aswell as the shape

Yeah it really fits the claw grip

And the grip tape

[zenith silo]

havent touched my gpx at all since i got it

[zenith silo]

the grips are really good for stock grips

makes logitechs look like garbage

[green remnant]

Yeah

Another thing to tap on is the battery life

Its only like 1-3 days but it charges fast

[zenith silo]

yeah the battery is a lot smaller than something like the gpx, also less power efficient

but the benefits outway the battery life for me

the battery life on 4khz is rough, but i barely use that polling rate anyway

[green remnant]

Yeah I also noticed lie

Like

My dpi seemed to

Get lower?

Whenni use

Higher hz

Whats that about?

[zenith silo]

what dpi are you using at what polling rate

you need to adjust dpi accordingly

if you use 4k polling with 800dpi you will have nothing but inconsistent polling rate which makes it feel like it stutters

dpi wise, i use 2000 for 1k/2k polling

and for 4k polling i use 3200/4000

[green remnant]

800 on 2k

[zenith silo]

your dpi needs to be able to saturate your polling rate otherwise it makes it feel like shit

[green remnant]

I usually

[zenith silo]

try 1600

[green remnant]

Use

800 on 1k

Really?

[zenith silo]

use 1600 dpi and lower your sens in game accordingly

[green remnant]

And if I was on 4k I would multiply 800 by 4??

[zenith silo]

when i use 4k i just go 4k dpi

[green remnant]

That seems like alot

[zenith silo]

you can just lower sens in game

[green remnant]

Maybe just me cause I just got my first high hz mouse

[zenith silo]

i dont have issues using 4k polling on my desk top at all

but i used to have really good mouse control so i can play ridiculously high sens

before injuring my wrists sub 10cm/360 was fairly usable for me lol

[green remnant]

I dont have REALLY bad but I have I’d say above average

Like

Control

If I had to get certain dot skates what brand/product would you reccomend?

[zenith silo]

xray pads jades or obsidians

[green remnant]

Why do some people just hate dot skates?

[zenith silo]

lack of control

same reason people use control pads, its partially a skill issue alongside preference

people that dont like fast pads lack control so they prefer the slow pads as it gives them a larger margin of error, same with low sensitivity

[green remnant]

I think the one I have is a control pad

But ion really know

[zenith silo]

thats why on games like val/csgo you see most people have fairly low sensitivities

[green remnant]

How can I tell if its a control pad compared to a speed pad?

[zenith silo]

what pad do you have

[green remnant]

Its a corsair pad

I dont know what is really is since my friend gave it to me

Its black and hos corsair logo on the bottom with a line running on it

[zenith silo]

mm200?

[green remnant]

Yeah

I just searched it up

[zenith silo]

its a control pad yeah

[green remnant]

Thats it

Damn so would dot skates still work with it?

[zenith silo]

idk how much of a control pad it is, but its more control orientated

[zenith silo]

it would likely make it feel a bit faster yeah

well not likely it would

[green remnant]

So would it be a good change or bad change?

[zenith silo]

for me it would be a good change

this kind of stuff is a lot of preference so its hard to say without you just trying it

and if you dont like it, if you did it properly you can just throw your old bigger skates back on

[green remnant]

Alright thanks alot dude

I’ll lyk how it goes tommorow when I try

[zenith silo]

no problem, hope you enjoy the mouse have a good one

[green remnant]

Thanks

Extra thing, if I’m back and you answer this: I usually play somewhat high sens (on val I play something from .3-.4) and I as you know main claw grip, because I bought a lamzu. So lmk what you think, I have flicky aim, but its a bit more to the relaxed side of “flicky”

[zenith silo]

in all honesty your sens doesnt really matter

so long as you have the control for high sens you can play it fine

if you are having issues with being shaky/overflicking a bunch my best tip would be to hit up aimlabs/kovaaks/aimbeast

play some precision orientated dynamic clicking

[quiet edge]

We all getting the new Alienware monitors???

[crimson wigeon]

Oh yeah if we just get them no strings attached then gimme

[vague needle]

Miss me with OLED degradation

(They do look sick for a year or so though I’m sure)

[crisp granite]

if only they were not so absurdly expensive

[vague needle]

Yeah they’re incredible displays, but spending the most money possible for the shortest life span is too wasteful for me

[quiet edge]

How long do OLED normally last

[vague needle]

They will continue to function at something like 10 years @ 4 hours on a day average

[misty saffron]

depends on the panel..?

[vague needle]

But the colors and brightness degrade massively the whole time

[severe phoenix]

Lmao a year or so?

Are you kidding me

The ignorance

[mild dome]

Oled improved quite a bit yeah?

[severe phoenix]

OLED has been fine for years

I have a almost 5 year old LG OLED TV, used a lot every day, even with static images, no burn in / retention / color degradation

Nothing observable without tools and even then minimal at most.

[cosmic thunder]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/8/24029590/lg-oled-t-transparent-tv-announced-specs-features

not much reason to get one unless you need a digital signage display

[mild dome]

Or you want to prank your fish

[vague needle]

Are you saying they’ll last less than a year?

[vague needle]

Your personal ability to notice something doesn’t affect whether or not a thing exists FYI

The whole "transparent" thing I only see being useful in like conference rooms, reception halls, front windows of shops n businesses

Very enterprise

Why's this stuff so cheap sometimes, 70$ for a hydraulic desk? https://www.walmart.com/ip/GTRACING-Electric-Adjustable-Height-Standing-Gaming-Desk-with-RGB-Light-and-Mouse-Pad-Black/2945102949

Wish this was in Europe

[reef patrol]

Probably really rickety and cheap materials for the frame.

I say it on a weekly basis - Check Facebook for free/cheap electrical desks and throw a new top on it if needed.

So easy to find them for 25-100€ here

[cursive summit]

Ah yeah someone did the research and they found that this fits like at best 1 display

[severe phoenix]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/10/24033161/ayaneo-next-lite-steam-deck-competitor-steamos

[cursive summit]

Yes yes it's been posted yet

"We don’t know how much the Ayaneo Next Lite costs yet."

I mean, they answered their own question?

Pretty sure Deck isn't 299

[severe phoenix]

lol

With weaker hardware yeah

[cursive summit]

And knockoff OS

Ayaneo sure be assholes, trying to cash in on the superior hardware hype

[severe phoenix]

Yeah their marketing has been super confusing, they marketed it as being stronger, they have two devices launching both called the Ayaneo Next Lite

One Does feature stronger hardware, and costs a lot more though.

[cursive summit]

I mean, they were selling hardware for like 1000$+ before

[severe phoenix]

It's so random

They still are

the Ayaneo Next is 1300$

[cursive summit]

Then suddenly your whole hardware market crashes cause Deck comes along 3x cheaper and better lol

[severe phoenix]

Is 20% faster than the Steam deck

Worse screen and abattery too

[cursive summit]

I bet Aya is definitely trying to just try and cash in on Deck's hypu

[severe phoenix]

They are and are floundering. Then you see GDP Win who has been pretty silent after they publically slammed Valve for the Steam Deck and saying their 1700$ handhelds were better lol

"Oh no, are you saying if you charge over 4x as much, you get slightly better hardware? That's impossible!"

[analog sinew]

ayaneo launches too many products for me to even consider them

[woven laurel]

yes boysssss

[mild dome]

Wat

https://apnews.com/article/ebay-spiders-cockroaches-steiner-newsletter-9ac2c35bcd4c87af181382c71d992343

[ashen spindle]

Do keep in mind 5700 has 10% lower boost than the 5800x3d

So that can be up to 10% slower so depends on how much cheaper it is

[reef patrol]

It might adjust the price of the 5800 though. That's what I meant.

[ashen spindle]

Yeah might adjust it up

Nah I don’t think it changes much since it’s already lowered since release

[reef patrol]

Or down - Since it will probably be less asked for, now that there's more choice.

[ashen spindle]

The 5800x3d costs 280 on mindfactory, msrp for the 57 is 249$

Adding conversion and taxes that’s is basically the same

And I doubt it makes the better product cost less than the worse one xD

[reef patrol]

That's how it usually goes though. More competition means retailers have more pressure to get stock nice and low before EOL.

Might not be by much, or immediately.

[ashen spindle]

5800x3d isn’t EOL though

[reef patrol]

That's... not what I 'm saying.

[ashen spindle]

You mean they instantly lower the 57 price then?

[reef patrol]

Ye gods...

[ashen spindle]

I am confused yes xD

[reef patrol]

The 5800X3D has the spot of "the CPU to get if you're stuck on AM4", but now that the 5700X3D is coming, it's going to lose some of that spotlight. Meaning retailers will begin to take steps to avoid being stuck with too much inventory when the CPUs go EOL or market interest vanes in favour of a full AM5 refresh.

[ashen spindle]

I do get that, but the 57 releases with a price that is basically identical to the 58 so I’m not sure that it steals any spotlight

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

It’s a straight up worse option for 5€ less

So how would that adjust the 58 prices

If they lower it even more it means they sell the better version for cheaper?

[severe phoenix]

Toughpower GF3 was reviewed relatively negatively from some tech places cause it has like, no brownout protection iirc

Although if you don't have em and trust in the PSU then it's pretty great

[cursive summit]

Nobody said they aren't

That specific model though is extremely well priced but it has some issues

It's a really really good PSU but with a major, significant drawback

And peeps should be aware of that

[woven laurel]

who in the right mind buys thermaltake

no

[proper sky]

What i a good psu for this build

[astral haven]

anyone who understands that thermaltake like all manufacturers besides fsp and seasonic just rebrand units from OEMs

[proper sky]

What i a good psu for this build

[cursive summit]

That very article literally talks about OCP protection

And how on GF3 is pretty damn bad

I think I read that they cheaped out on OCP by not including some contemporary methods of overcurrent protection for whatever reason

Unless I am really mixing up the PSUs, I am pretty sure it was this one

[fickle ore]

think they canned 3.0, now its 3.1

[cursive summit]

Ahhh it wasn't the Toughpower GF3

Sorry I got confused with other PSU

It was the... Thermaltake Toughpower PF1

Funnily enough GF3 still has pretty weird OCP

PF1 has like, no OCP, they skimped out on MOVs for some reason

[woven laurel]

delta is also a solid oem

[astral haven]

is delta back on the market with their units yet?

[woven laurel]

no theyre not. im just a guy who lives in the past

however I build my own pcs exclusively with seasonic.

my snowsilent is a tank.

[fickle ore]

ill be trying fsp next, idk why.

[astral haven]

and if you are careful, you could exclusively seasonic without ever purchasing a seasonic psu

same for fsp

[woven laurel]

fsp had issues in the past

their budget units

[green remnant]

Why does my game lag when I use 4k hz on a game

On my mouse

[astral haven]

Damn, its probably that 😭

I can run 2k atleast

[astral haven]

what fuses lol

no classical fuses

they use e fuses and fireman wires

yea but thats for cars that totalled the battery

they use triggered explosive fuses

and if they blow, your car aint moving

https://youtu.be/0mGhhdPgXG8

Any1 here know some stuff abt pcs and can maybe help? Friend of me has the problem where his pc constantly booting into bios not windows. We tried some stuff like resetting bios, checking boot priorities or what its called and tried using windows repair with a usb-stick. even with the usb stick as primary boot option it still loads into the bios and we cant get it to anything else. DM or ping me if you got and idea ty

[torn nexus]

having a issue where this keyboard randomly disconnects and i have to unplug plug back in to fix. and then sometimes itll just hard endless hold one key

anyone encounter such problems

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258

[torn nexus]

i have to search for an answer there eh

[ashen spindle]

search if someone has it or make a post

[quiet edge]

These mfers move the physical buttons slightly to make old cases obselete. Very shitty of amazon

[cold tendon]

Hey idk where to post this but redirect me if needed. So basicly I was bored today and I hobbled some libraries together when I Eventually came to this simple. Rust program, which allows you to display the content of their monitor downscale to fit the resolution of your keyboard's RGB lights.

So basicly a super simple (and super bad) dynamic lighting thingy for the wooting60he

I have it open source at https://github.com/MrEnder0/wootili-view

its like super basic and like I can prob make it a lot better and give it a ui with egui but yeah its there for anyone who wants it

[civic ivy]

where should get my pc tweaked

[warm schooner]

Youtube

[shadow minnow]

Pretty cool

[fair gull]

does this support arranging multiple keyboards

like 6 or 8 wooting 2HEs

[pale sigil]

What

[shadow minnow]

I don’t think so tbh the code seems rather simple but might be wrong

[fair gull]

i dont know buddy this sounds dangerous af

[final flame]

oof

[halcyon moss]

Eh that is quite common?

You should have multiple Linux images

[fair gull]

idk man i have flashbacks to when this once shot the entire server down

but yes i manually dug through whats actually installed and now removed the old one

[reef patrol]

What a weird fucking AB test 😄

[rough osprey]

do any of the ios users know how i can go back to playing music after watching something on social media

Without opening the music app again

[ashen spindle]

huh never thought about that situation so don't know

[ashen spindle]

yeah idk why ultrawide users were deemed the best beta testers for this lmfao

[rough osprey]

Sometimes i just listen to music while scrolling on twitter

but clicking on a video seems to close spotify or sum

[reef patrol]

Ultrawide?

That's... that's just 1080p 16:9

[rough osprey]

on android i could just switch back

[ashen spindle]

oh this snippet says something else, the article I saw yesterday said it's all people that use a resolution wider than that

ah seems like the update clarified it's not UW screens only

[rocky sphinx]

yo anyone else youtube on opera gx been really laggy ? for some reason it lags a ton, like i pause and the pause happens 5 seconds later

no issues on google chrome tho

[crimson wigeon]

Shit malware browser man

[rough osprey]

maybe its just twitter being bad

instagram and discord dont want media playback controls

[fickle ore]

Above 27" desktop monitor users are probably considered as a group that would use Copilot instead of 24" and below users. More tech inclined.

[final flame]

the ironic thing is that more inclined tech users would not be using a 1080p monitor that's larger than 24 inches
negative pixel density

[final flame]

above 27 inch at 1080p
doesn't exactly make sense for tech inclined users

[fickle ore]

It does

But its possibly just a UX/UI thing

[ashen spindle]

on desktop depends if 1920 is minimum or set resolution for it

but most would probably on laptop that is smaller so eh

[fickle ore]

The farther you're from laptop screen size the higher the technical inclination is probably

statistically

[reef patrol]

laughs in retiree using a TV as a monitor to see better

[thick elk]

I will add that there was a time I used a 24 inch tv with 768p as a monitor, besides that lower ress 1080p can work, it all depends on distance

[fickle ore]

a retiree using desktop is a rarity and means they were technically inclined in the past 😛

[reef patrol]

I don't know what reality you live in, but they're more common than laptops here.

So, so many old refurbished desktops being sold yearly.

Laptop monitors are too small with old eyes.

(Not to mention the trackpad)

[fickle ore]

Alternate I guess

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-rtx-4070-super-ad103-gpu-features-48mb-of-l2-cache-not-36mb-as-claimed-earlier

CANCEL NVIDIA

THEY MADE THE THING BETTER THAN EXPECTED

[rocky sphinx]

I have no idea why but my fortnite fps are so inconsistent even with a rx 6700 xt

i like optimised everything i can dawg

[pale sigil]

FN is fine for me once dx12 cache kicks in

Or shader thing

But in general it's getting harder to run as time goes on

[rocky sphinx]

yeah but i play on performance mode to get like the most fps yk

[pale sigil]

Oh lmao

[rocky sphinx]

apparently fortnite is just not optimised with perf mode

i might try out dx12

[rocky sphinx]

i tried dx12

didnt change anything

same fps

[wind echo]

what cable does wooting use because i want to buy a coiled cable

or do you guys know a good cheep coiled cable?

[ashen spindle]

[rocky sphinx]

gunmjo cable are good quality cable and works with tachyon

https://videocardz.com/newz/ayaneo-next-lite-comes-with-ryzen-4500u-4800-and-holoiso-instead-of-windows-price-starts-at-299

So Ayaneo CAN do proper pricing

[ashen spindle]

if youre in a region that doesnt have steamdeck maybe

its a vega apu lmao

[cursive summit]

Not too sure what a vega can run

Holy moly I didn't know this existed https://www.ayntec.com/collections/odin/products/odin-2

Snapdragon 8g2

I wonder how much do you lose / gain by getting Android

[reef patrol]

Does everyone and their OEM have a Deckkiller at this point?

[cursive summit]

But none of those kill Deck

[reef patrol]

___killers rarely do.

[ashen spindle]

most of these things are from before the deck so it's not really a reactionary product

[reef patrol]

Fair enough. Just swear I keep seeing a "new" one being mentioned every day these days.

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eONWY3kbZc0 @astral haven

[astral haven]

NICE!!!

[ashen spindle]

does kinda smell fishy though so we'll have to see

[astral haven]

meh wont come to market until it works, and it wont be available at the highest end for some time after that, so we will have plenty of time to see

[deft marlin]

Laptop screens are getting bigger tho…

Also gotta mention the streamers that have pc specs way beyond their needs

[wheat plume]

I love watching Dankpods rage about windows S mode...
https://youtu.be/Ctww6ndcPWI

[deft marlin]

like tarik, shroud, TenZ…

[ashen spindle]

those are not relevant

couple streamers dont change anything statistically

[deft marlin]

Still there are normies that build expensive for their own pleasure

[thick elk]

Also I can understand, if your whole thing revolves around your PC, it makes sense to spend on it.

[deft marlin]

As in themed builds

or water cooling fanatics

[cold tendon]

um no its like very very basic like it straight up gets the primary monitor, scales down the res to 6x14 because thats the size of 60he inside the rgb lib for some reason and then just puts it

but I mean I could add on and change it like its very bare bones
