[astral haven]

name a single car that supports j3400 "nacs"

[steep creek]

pretty sure there is no standard as of today, maybe when everyone switches to nacs there will be

[astral haven]

nah j3400 exists

but you are correct, there is not a single car on the road that supports it

no, tesla doesnt support nacs yet

[warped gull]

Tesla is NACS lol.

[astral haven]

nope

nacs is j3400

tesla has their own protocol for their own vehicles

while j3400 is compatible with nacs, as of today, teslas are not

including the cybertruck

OOS went to one of the charging manufacturers trying to deploy a real j3400 implementation, plugged in their cybertruck and it didnt work

[astral haven]

thats great and all, but just because people confuse two terms, doesnt mean they are the same

[steep creek]

one thing i can say with certainty, i wont be missing chademo lol

rarely fast charge anyways but the few times i do its a hassle

[astral haven]

yea i didnt even bother getting a car with a chademo port

[warped gull]

https://tenor.com/view/elon-musk-funny-elon-musk-okay-you-are-right-how-funny-you-are-gif-20397020

[astral haven]

plenty of chargers around for me tho lel

and all of them always charge full speed

[steep creek]

leafs here are all on chademo except maybe the newest one, ariya switched to ccs

[astral haven]

on the older leafs, chademo was an option

you could chose to not get a fast charging port

[steep creek]

yea there are enough chademo chargers here its just weird with two different types of ports on every station lol

ah i see

yea the old 24kwh leaf i had was actually imported from cali, wouldn't want to do that again

somehow it had rapid charging and chademo

[astral haven]

Yea that's pretty normal

I just didn't want to pay the extra grand to option thay

[steep creek]

thats fair

[astral haven]

And I don't like leather seats but I wanted the 360 cameras

[steep creek]

exact same i so prefer the fabric ones, i got 360 too on this one, just missing out on the bose speaker system and a few other things ill never use

[astral haven]

What

Oh a newer model?

[steep creek]

yea have the 62kwh now

[astral haven]

Ah

Yea on the 2013, it was all tied together

[steep creek]

yeah i remember, uncle had the leather option with the upgraded screen, while ours was a non touch type display

[fickle ore]

I bought a f150 lightning electrical

[steep creek]

in hindsight maybe it'd be better to upgrade because of the heatpump, thing barely kept us warm in the winter

[fickle ore]

Love it

[steep creek]

awesome

[astral haven]

Big gaping hole where chademo would have gone

[steep creek]

ah yeah thats how it looked like

[astral haven]

But you can see I have the 360 there too

A Very strange config lel

[steep creek]

lol 360 is really nice though, makes parking a lot easier

do you have blindspot detection too?

[astral haven]

Nay

[steep creek]

ah

[astral haven]

That wasn't an option yet

[steep creek]

i see

[astral haven]

Very sad that the aptera won't have a 360 cam option

[steep creek]

oh wow, maybe it'll come later on? i hope so

[astral haven]

Maybe

But later on means 2026 at the earliest

[steep creek]

i dont know if i can go back now, having tried a 360 cam

[astral haven]

Same

[steep creek]

well i dont know when exactly aptera is set to launch but possibly in 25, so not too far away from 26

[fickle ore]

me parking my f150 confidently

[steep creek]

this looks oddly american, that sign is in english isnt it lol

[astral haven]

Launching 24, should finish the 2000 investor vehicles early 2025

[warped gull]

Nice! Feels good that Ford is also adopting NACS.

[steep creek]

oh sweet, excited for the reviews, especially range test

[astral haven]

Same

They are launching with 45kwh now confirmed

[fickle ore]

ya

[steep creek]

nice, dont think the aptera is a car that needs super fast charging anyways

[unkempt lake]

Will you ever put things in the bed

Or did you get a pickup for no reason

Like do you have an atv or a snowmobile?

[fickle ore]

Dude I wanna retire early on my homestead. Planning to use the thing to haul shit

I cant imagine other car

[unkempt lake]

Good

Too many people buy pick up trucks to never haul anything

Or put anything in the bed

[astral haven]

Capacity not charging speed
They are trying to get higher speed but also not add too much weight
They also confirmed 6.6kw inverter on all models, 66 mile per hour charging on ac

[fickle ore]

Yeah pickup truck is basically useless if u live in city/appartment

[unkempt lake]

People dumb

[steep creek]

oh i see missed the h, well 45kwh with their claimed range would be hilarious, im rooting for them

[warped gull]

Nah I use mine to haul dirt bikes, mountain bikes, camping gear, furniture etc

[steep creek]

charging is plenty, thats around my home charging stations speed, charges up just fine overnight

[warped gull]

Just hauled 400lbs worth of mulch for the yard last week. 😂

[fickle ore]

u can put all bikes on top of regular car no?

[fickle ore]

appartments dont have yards!!

[warped gull]

Im sure you can, but i mean motorized dirtbike, so no lol

[halcyon moss]

Not dirtbikes

[fickle ore]

Yea

And I couldnt fit a 65" tv on my old car

[astral haven]

Or you have a bed to stand on lel

[halcyon moss]

Or not a high car

Those are super common in nl.

If it's weekend, kinda decent weather and you're on a highway.. You see lots, with 2 bikes. Electric bikes usually

[cursive summit]

https://youtu.be/ex_gPeWVAo0

Got this recommended

[analog sinew]

zen 6 🤨

[ashen spindle]

yeah zen5 is just the same packaging wise

that is just waiting to be released

6 will not use the same io die or packaging anymore

[mild dome]

Hearing about Zen 6 makes me want to delay the upgrade I am planning from Zen 3 5900X to Zen 5's x800X3D
However no doubt then Zen 7 will be on the horizon

[ashen spindle]

5 x3d likely isn't out till Q1 next year

6 is in 2026

also 6 could be on a new platform that costs more

and internally they are working on zen 8/9 so feel free to wait till next decade xD

[thick elk]

I would not fixate on one generation / chip. Just wait for it to happen. I remember waiting for Bulldozer and get a 3570k instead. Whenever you feel a sufficient leap has been made and the need arises, it's time to upgrade.

[ashen spindle]

yeah in the end even the most accurate leak is just a leak

and even lets say zen5 is 50% better, the price might make you still not want it xD

mostly should be used to gauge if it makes sense to wait some weeks if you aren't in a hurry to upgrade

[thick elk]

Either way generally over the last 2 generations the x3d chips have proven to be worth the wait but even that is not certain to always hold true.

[ashen spindle]

well the only thing that could happen here is the base version is soo good the x3d bonus isn't worth to wait for xD

if the base ipc only improves a little bit the cache will still lift the same amount

[thick elk]

That does not mean the price will be right though

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah

[thick elk]

Worst case: china attacks taiwan and we get the mother of all chip shortages

[ashen spindle]

think then we have slightly more issues than just a new pc xD

[thick elk]

Not likely but just to name an extreme

I am just saying it, there are always outside factors that can happen too. Natural dissasters, booms and so forth.

[ashen spindle]

yeah but then you can also start thinking about how that affects your ability to get bread next week so it's not really worth considering after all xD

[cursive summit]

Highly likely not to be

[thick elk]

Maybe but noticable shocks have been somewhat common in some regularity, so it is something to take into account looking further into the future.

[ashen spindle]

it's really up in the air at this point

[cursive summit]

I mean, my platform do you mean AM6 or so or 700 series chipset

AM5 will prolly survive till Zen 7

[ashen spindle]

am6, am5+ idk something new

lol no chance

[cursive summit]

AM4 lasted 4 generations-ish

3 + 1 refresh

[ashen spindle]

ok but that's not really relevant

if they need a new socket for technical reasons it doesnt matter if the previous socket had 17 gens

[cursive summit]

They did promise longevity with AM5, so I expect at least 2 more arches on AM5

[ashen spindle]

they promised support through 2025

[thick elk]

I do believe AMD sees value in keeping the platform for as long as possible. It certainly hasn't hurt their sales.
Board partners also seem on-board with continuing to sell old motherboards.
But yea once there are good technical reasons to switch they will.

[ashen spindle]

it helps but if they make a new platform and then show improvements people arent going to be as mad as intel where new platform but new gen is just the same happened so often

but there is just 0 chance zen7 is still on the same platform xD

[cursive summit]

Well Zen 7 prolly not

[thick elk]

Of course, it's not just about people being mad, it's about it generally boosting sales.
Older people upgrading cpu's longer motherboard production runs lowering costs and so forth.
DDR6 seems like such a point where moving to a new chipset makes sense, as AMD has generally preferred a clean switch over supporting 2 versions at the same time.

[cursive summit]

Zen 4, 5 and 6 I hope will be on AM5

[ashen spindle]

z6 would fall into the ddr6 release time so that would be one reason

[cursive summit]

Wasn't it a while after DDR5 was released that it was even adopted?

[ashen spindle]

it just depends on how it's designed for

[velvet radish]

Wtf is zen guys

is that short for ryzen?

im so confused

[cursive summit]

is that bait?

GDDR7 is already in production, and rumours are that RDNA4 will not use GDDR7

Tech just takes a while to adopt

[ashen spindle]

Zen {number} is the micro architechture of the ryzen chips

[velvet radish]

[cursive summit]

And I don't think DDR6 is yet released or I haven't heard of it, so when it goes into mass prod it's like what, +2-3 years until a motherboard with such support comes out?

[ashen spindle]

that doesn't matter if rdna4 was designed so the extra gains from gddr7 wouldn't be worth the delay they wont use it

if zen6 is made with new IO design and would benefit from ddr6 it could be worth adding some months of validation for it

[cursive summit]

Just stack the DDR6 on the CPU 😄

Preferably HBM3e but I suppose DDR can work too

[ashen spindle]

why would you want hbm on your cpu

do you want slower cpus

[cursive summit]

Cause HBM3 is extremely fast?

Faster than DDR I think

[ashen spindle]

it has high bandwidth that's the name

it doesn't have low latency

[cursive summit]

Would you be able to make it low latency by stacking it on top of the CPU die?

[ashen spindle]

you would be able to make it overheat the chip below it quite fast

[cursive summit]

Cause it'd be kinda cool to have a combined CPU - RAM - GPU - VRAM product

But you'd prolly need it to be threadripper sized

[ashen spindle]

in fantasy world maybe not in whats possible with physics

[cursive summit]

Well, Strix Halo is already halfway into that

Wait a second, what will Strix Halo's VRAM be

It's not going to have any on its die so nothing fast like GDDR6

[ashen spindle]

lpddr

[cursive summit]

So it'll just take VRAM from the RAM like a normal iGPU?

But that's far slower than GDDR

[ashen spindle]

it's a normal apu just bigger

[cursive summit]

Memory bandwidth will definitely be a major bottleneck

Strix Halo could be a product that would have great benefit from on-die VRAM

[ashen spindle]

probably not

[cursive summit]

Thought it doesn't have to be stacked on top

What if it's kinda chiplet-like

[ashen spindle]

it's still an apu not a flagship that is memory starved

[cursive summit]

It'll have an insane amount of GPU CUs on the level of mid-range GPUs

VRAM speed at that point seems like a major concern

LPDDR5X isn't that fast

[ashen spindle]

you also arent going to clock it like a dgpu if the entire chip has a lower tdp than navi33

n33 is 190w

[cursive summit]

It's like 40W-120W

[ashen spindle]

and that isn't really a bandwidth starved gpu

so you lower it by 70W, then you remove the power used by the other parts of the SOC

and you end wiht like half the power budget

[cursive summit]

I suppose if 780M can play games at 1080p medium at acceptable framerates, just slapping 4x more CUs could push it to 1440p high

Strix Halo is just super exciting, even if it's a mobile product for whatever reason

There's a market for APUs that are that strong, they could make a lot of money by selling one for 400ish

[ashen spindle]

the laptops it will be in will be a lot more so it's worth it for that, then if that sells you will see more

but just like the current 8700g and co, for desktop it's cheaper to get a dgpu at that level still

[cursive summit]

Even if it's mobile only, some peeps will still stick it into a NUC

[ashen spindle]

yes something like that will probably be the way if its coming in any non laptop variant

[agile current]

Am I the only one who cant turn on Tachyon mode? After I turn on this mode only few keys work.

the first camera was an entire building lol

[gusty kiln]

@astral haven how's the s24u treating you?

[astral haven]

hasnt arrived yet

i waited for hands on before preordering

shipped tho!

[gusty kiln]

Wat

Damn so late

[astral haven]

yea its a popular phone

[gusty kiln]

But I guess you'll less likely to have qc issues

Mine is perfect luckily

No green line or hue

[astral haven]

they wont have had time to change anything

[gusty kiln]

Ah rip

I need to get a new case for mine, the samsung silicone one attracts so much lint and dirt

The only question is if I want/need magsafe

[astral haven]

peak design case hasnt released yet 😦

[gusty kiln]

Do those case allow the phone to lay perfectly flat on a table?

[astral haven]

yep

[gusty kiln]

Ooo

[astral haven]

has a mechanical lock as well as magnetic, tho the magnets arent fully magsafe compatible

[gusty kiln]

I was looking at magbak cuz you could use magsafe assessories and the s-pen at the same time

[astral haven]

yea, my problem is magsafe wasnt strong enough, peak design is much stronger

[gusty kiln]

Are you locked into to their ecosystem?

[astral haven]

pretty much

[gusty kiln]

Ah damn

[astral haven]

yea 😦

[smoky frigate]

love how it's hand-cranked too

thomas edison probably died by inventing this thing and having it fall on him

[astral haven]

Holy smokes the buds2 pro are excellent

[old marlin]

something something thanks akg

[astral haven]

I'm comparing against wired iems in the same price range tho

Also Harman tuned

Truthear nova

[old marlin]

yea

I mean against "real" IEMs they will fare worse

but against other TWS ANC buds it gets hard

[astral haven]

They are holding up real well tho!

[old marlin]

FR maybe

too bad I am not fond of long term IEM usage

[astral haven]

Nah I'm using nova in 1 ear and buds pro in the other
Besides the audio sync it's fantastic

Under duress I wouldn't be able to tell which is which

Assuming you added a cable to the buds pro lel

[old marlin]

meanwhile I use qian39s

[astral haven]

Whatever floats your boat tbh

[old marlin]

earbuds are great for at work

since they don't blend out my enviroment

and transparency modes sound kinda ass to me

have not tried airpods but I got not compatible device anyways

[astral haven]

Sure
On the other hand tho, iems are great for my work since they get rid of my environment lel

[old marlin]

yea I need to know when I get a call lol

[astral haven]

I got a softphone lel

I got a SIP phone

how the fuck does one find a specific potentially obscure tracker song

am i going to render the entirety of modarchive to compare against

[old marlin]

[old marlin]

I got a mivoice office 400

[misty saffron]

am i going to parse instruments’ notes and compare that

what if the root note is wrong

wow i hate thinking about this

[astral haven]

The 5066 is a headset that you can connect to a rj11 or 22 and a pc
You can also connect Bluetooth devices

[astral haven]

Yes after a while a/b ing these, the differences are becoming apparent, but it's hard to describe
Only issue I'm having is I can't seem to get multipoint working

Ah shoot these don't have multipoint
Rude

[old marlin]

multipoint?

[astral haven]

Simultaneous connection to multiple devices

[old marlin]

ah

[astral haven]

Eg personal and work phone allowing work to call while im listening to music or yt

It still has to switch, but multipoint on my wfxm4s is super convenient

try searching by length

or open in a tracker and look at the names of the instruments, those often have credits in them

[slender hazel]

Hi, could someone send me close up images of the back of the Wooting PCB?

[smoky frigate]

also what's the song, I'm curious

[reef patrol]

Of...what model?

Lot of choice there as well as revisions depending on what exactly you're asking for.

[slender hazel]

60HE

I couldn’t find any pics of the back online

[reef patrol]

What do you need it for? There's like 3 revisions of that or more.

[slender hazel]

I’m making making a DIY HE board + AMOLED project and would like to see what Wooting is using under the hood for some of the important ICs (mcu, analog muxes, etc)

that 2000+ nit brightness at work

wtf the pro 2 should have that feature?

[astral haven]

yea i cant find it listed anywhere tho 😦

very sad

[gusty kiln]

oh booooo, it only works between samsung devices

would need a galaxy book or a tablet

[astral haven]

yea so its not multipoint

[gusty kiln]

I really enjoy my buds FE with the "Clear" eq preset

harmon bass sounds a bit too boomy for me

[astral haven]

in red are my current daily drivers lel

[misty saffron]

i only have the rendered copy is the problem

searching by length is a nice start, though

[smoky frigate]

let me have a crack at it, maybe I can find it

[misty saffron]

and bpm, probably

what’s annoying is i’m not sure it’s a tracker song at all

but it very much sounds like it

[gusty kiln]

Wonder how it looks on passive mode

[smoky frigate]

can you send it to me?

[astral haven]

Vivid with temperature set to full cool looks best to me
Hope they make a real vivid available tho

[gusty kiln]

just tried it, very subtle

but yeah hope real vivid comes next update

this probably was an engineer getting reamed by his boss because they kept getting complaints from people saying colors are too vivid, and the engiuneer said fine ill make it perfectly accurate

define cheaper

why would anyone not get galaxy buds for their galaxy phone

1more comfobuds pro

[astral haven]

i paid $11 for my buds2pro i think?

[sharp badger]

🤑

[astral haven]

when you preorder a galaxy phone, they give you a bunch of accessories

[gusty kiln]

what did you get extra? cuz the spending credit should have covered all of it

[novel oar]

Is there anyone here who can help me build my Wooting 60HE+ module

Idk how to set it up

[astral haven]

i also got a smarttag2 and a case

[gusty kiln]

ah, which case?

[astral haven]

gimme a sec, taking a picture

natural on the 21u right vs vivid on the 23u left

[sharp badger]

Don't know if there was any pre-order deal here with the Buds

[astral haven]

samsung gives you a credit that you can put towards anything samsung, and many devices were price reduced

i got $150 credit, and the buds used something like $120 of it

i needed a case and a tag, but i didnt need anything else they offered

[sharp badger]

Yeah can get like €200 off on the phone and -20% on some extras and some €50 coupon

[astral haven]

now
but how about a month ago

[pale sigil]

Speaking of pi

Really hard justifying the pi5

It's so expensive

[steep creek]

The preorder deal from samsung here was kinda eh, 100 usd extra if you trade in, 50 otherwise, and 512 gigs for the price of 256, 1tb was discounted a little too

Some third party store strangely gave you buds for free but not samsung directly

[astral haven]

i could say that i got the buds for free and paid 11 for the case or tag

[unkempt lake]

Its a cool gadget but i dont see a point

True

But seriously besides emulating keycards and being a cool universal remote

I'd struggle to find a use for it

I mean could be fun to code small projects for it i guess

But idk its like 250$

And why use that when you can use a raspberry pie

Also i'd rather put that 250$ towards new pc parts lol

[craggy gorge]

Hey guys just quick tip here , kbdfans actually have a aliexpress store if you didn’t know if ur outside the US i recommend ordering through that if you want a product from them got mine to Middle East free shipping and 10 day shipping, arrived today packaging is very good you dont have to worry about aliexpress shitty packaging

[analog sinew]

all these crazy bios exploits blabla when people just click on scam links or by accident

my pc isnt an iranian uranium centrifuge

[misty saffron]

[misty saffron]

it’s almost like we always had bootkits

[cursive summit]

@umbral heron Oi darling, do you by any chance specialize in VMs?

I have ran a few VMs by now but all of them were always rather.. 10FPS or so?

Is that like, the VM experience or should it run like native

[umbral heron]

When I used KVM on Linux to make a Windows VM with GPU pass-through it ran pretty much like native
I never had more than 15fps in VirtualBox though
And I don't really know how Microsoft Hyper-V experience looks like

[cursive summit]

Yeah I am with HyperV

Though I had a similar experience running Linux Mint through VMWare, it just wasn't anywhere near native

I suppose I might just have misconfigured VMs, disabled features or something on my BIOS

Or Hyper-V is just slow

[fair gull]

are we talking hyperv on a normal os or their hyperv server versions

[cursive summit]

Normal OS

[fair gull]

oof

[cursive summit]

Ah so I'm guessing it's not great

[fair gull]

well

sub optimal id call it. their windows server hyperv editions are serviceable as they cut out all the DE and WM stuff that makes windows kinda shit and also a lot of other services etc.

ideally youd run some linux with kvm or ESXi

[astral haven]

if you run a single windows vm on hyper-v server its identical

[umbral heron]

It shouldn't be that slow though
Maybe try tinkering with GPU Partitioning? Really cool feature, thanks to Windows running underneath
Dunno how it works with AMD/Nvidia GPUs, since they don't allow for SR-IOV for some reason

[cursive summit]

What's GPU partitioning, never heard of it

[astral haven]

hyper-v is pain for gpu virtualization

[fair gull]

idk my experience was quite better on hyper-v server running a few windows and linux servers under it

after we switched from the host being windows server

we gained a ton of IOPS in the disk department

[astral haven]

🤷 its the exact same kernel

[umbral heron]

GPU-P, allows for allocating some of your GPU resources to VM

[fair gull]

i mean theres some difference since the VMs were configured identical

it was just free perf increase

[cursive summit]

HyperV doesn't even mention anything about GPUs

[astral haven]

but was it the same version?

[cursive summit]

It just allows to allocate CPU cores

[fair gull]

both were 2019

[astral haven]

yea but was it a fresh install of both?

[fair gull]

yes

[umbral heron]

https://github.com/jamesstringerparsec/Easy-GPU-PV

[cursive summit]

Uh

This just seems like it'd screw something up

[astral haven]

well thats screwed up
theres no way for there to be a difference besides different config or minor updates

[cursive summit]

Especially since idk how Hyper-V even allocates GPU in general, there are no options unlike VMware which did let me tweak GPU allocation

[fair gull]

idk i couldnt pin point any difference except the base image

[astral haven]

gotta understand that enabling hyper-v on regular server causes you to boot the full fat hyper-v kernel, and your main os becomes a high priority primary vm

[fair gull]

im aware that it changes how the windows environment is setup but... i tell ya we got free perf out of nowhere

i only even tried this because we had perf issues i never had before

[astral haven]

why did you set both up at the same time?

wouldnt you just take the 2019 server you had in production and test against a new hyper-v server install

[fair gull]

well we had 2 servers to be setup the same for 2 different companies

[umbral heron]

I haven't really looked into it either, I can tell you all about KVM and VirtIO, but not about Hyper-V

[fair gull]

but ran into a wall with a DMS/NAS solution to be setup on both

[astral haven]

interesting

[cursive summit]

How do I install KVM on Windows

[fair gull]

disk speeds just never reached what they should so we reinstalled 1 on hyper-v server

and that somehow fixed it

[astral haven]

san > nas change my mind

[astral haven]

interesting

[fair gull]

well the customer insisted on synology cause they used it before

so i set it up in a vm after alot of pain getting that to work

surprise surprise they dont like their os running on non synology hardware

[astral haven]

yea :/

[fair gull]

yeah i also basically just gave up researching it cause at that point i wasted like 2 days on this

so i said fuck it and just used hyper-v server directly since then

although it did mean we could charge extra on future stuff cause now we also sold a management pc with a windows desktop to be sat in the server room to manage hyperv locally

i wish i could have pushed for a linux host system

but my boss was scared of it

[astral haven]

xcp-ng exists too

drop in vmware replacement soon™️

[vagrant pagoda]

Tbo windows vm on kvm has always been a pain

It's really not worth the hassle unless you have a damn good reason

Hyperv is just as good, and modern windows server isn't as bad of a resource hog

[astral haven]

for gaming, kvm is far more versatile

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah I've mained looking glass for years

[astral haven]

its been a while, but i managed to brick a windows install trying to set up a gpu vm so badly that an overinstall didnt even fix the issue and i had to do a full disk wipe

just 1 messed up powershell command...

[astral haven]

nowdays there are plenty of folks who daily proxmox systems with a primary windows vm for gaming

[final flame]

"innovation"

[crisp granite]

PMM certainly made a much lighter frame

and smaller

[final flame]

all I see is a razer pcb shoved into what looks like 3 layer lines with a 2mm nozzle

[crisp granite]

yep

lighter...and even more fragile than the Zerømouse already is

it's not going to snap the moment you touch it
but parts can flex and snap easily if you aren't careful

on the PMM thing...I'd probably damage it in use

[final flame]

can't wait to see the gamerrage clips with it

mouse parts flying everywhere

[crisp granite]

I'll admit the main thing preventing me from getting the PMM isn't the probable fragility of it

but the damn cost

holy shit

the Zerømouse wasn't even half that

[final flame]

They really make focal look good in terms of build quality and price

[crisp granite]

but they bump up the cost of the mice too

it makes a goddamn M3K competitive in terms of pricing

[final flame]

already confirmed they don't cover headband damage

[crisp granite]

can get a Viper V2 pro much cheaper than rn

and they probably get a bulk discount of some kind

[final flame]

kek, 100$ for a mouse you only are pulling the pcb out of

[crisp granite]

I got my V2 Pro for something like 115 of the kanukhistani kopek

[hazy phoenix]

hey guys, trying to figure out what monitor to get. my 240hz 1080p 24inch died on me, so im trying to decide if a 1440p 27inch 240hz would be better? however considering im only on a 3070ti it wouldnt run 240fps on warzone 2/3, which as of now is my main game however I do play CS and apex. Would 1440p be that much better for clarity at spotting enemies further away? or is 1080p fine and the extra hz worth it. i consider myself fairly competitive however not e sports level obviously.

not sure where to ask this so lmk if it's not appropriate for this channel/server

[ashen spindle]

Nice

[fair gull]

id rather see the EU Ls

eu has too many Ws

[rough osprey]

nice

[old marlin]

I mean this blocked an EU L

quite a massive one as well

[fair gull]

i want the Ls that got actually passed into laws

or well regulations

[old marlin]

yea not this one maybe

I kinda like having e2e encryption be legal

[fair gull]

not saying i dont want e2e but im interested in seeing what Ls the EU has produced

because in recent memory i only have Ws like GDPR, the iphone appstore thing, usb-c thing and now e2e

[rough osprey]

this region is too good

lets move to the us

[ashen spindle]

Could argue them not considering iMessage big enough to stop the green bubble thing is an L

[cosmic thunder]

if only i could...

[ashen spindle]

But it’s also not as big as in the us here

[fair gull]

was about to say apple doesnt have the same market share in the EU

[rough osprey]

and the apple users here still just use whatsapp

[fair gull]

ye

tbf the US isnt even that far ahead as i recall apple to be

[ashen spindle]

It’s not about phone market share it’s about how much less people use iMessage here

[fair gull]

yes but a big part is also well... they dont have a big market share to begin with

android users bully the apple users into whatsapp even if they tried using imessage

[rough osprey]

"yo why tf are u sending me a sms"

[fair gull]

exactly

i dont even know when the last time is i got an SMS or send one not from/to a company

prob when i still had my 3310 or maybe even still on my LG KP500

[umbral heron]

I still use SMS on a daily basis

[fair gull]

i only use discord/slack/whatsapp

sms is purely for receiving codes from the few sites that still only do that

[rough osprey]

real

[cosmic thunder]

real

[fair gull]

or receiving spam (although i havent gotten any in years)

but yeah first sms i have on my old phone is from signing up on discord

[old marlin]

la lot of ios users do

even though they don't know it

[old marlin]

[rough osprey]

love it

[fair gull]

isnt it only sms if they dont send it to another ios user

[old marlin]

idk

[fair gull]

i thought for apple to apple its internet messages

[cosmic thunder]

blue bubble?

[old marlin]

ah

apparently

blue bubble = imessage service
green bubble = sms

[rough osprey]

it uses e2e so

[old marlin]

technnically it would be possible to send an sms from one iphone to another

[fair gull]

lol

but yeah sms i never did because it always cost me money when whatsapp got introduced so everyone just used whatsapp

heck i wrote the dutch railway guys via whatsapp cause i saw an issue on a track

[umbral heron]

Hm... I had free SMS since I can remember

[analog sinew]

and did they care

[fair gull]

yeah

ofc they do

this isnt the US afterall

so public transport is quite a serious business and very well maintained

[old marlin]

back when whatsapp was still new here they used to cost money here

which is how whatsapp got so big so fast

[rough osprey]

they responding with the

[fair gull]

na that said thank you and have a nice weekend. this was atfer they asked for a picture of the issue and me just sending it to them.

for context it was a wall leaking water from the water canal behind it

[rough osprey]

oh

DB also tries to integrate some whatsapp

only in certain regions tho

[fair gull]

sounds like the german way yeah

support it but only in certain places at certain times if possible

[rough osprey]

🔥

like our digital bafög system that still gets printed out

[fair gull]

Willkommen bei der Deutschen Bahn. Der Kundensupport ist erreichbar von Montag bis Freitag und von 12 bis Mittag.

[analog sinew]

12 bis mittag?

[fair gull]

yes

[analog sinew]

who gives time like that

[rough osprey]

not bad

[analog sinew]

i still havent seen one in the wild

[fair gull]

[novel oar]

Is lekker switch the reason why Wooting is the fastest keyboard

[cosmic thunder]

yes

[rough osprey]

no

[old marlin]

[analog sinew]

no for real, when is mittag

[old marlin]

noon

[analog sinew]

for me mittag is 12

[old marlin]

that is the joke

[analog sinew]

it is a joke okay

[rough osprey]

a german joke

[old marlin]

because they open from like 9am to noon

[analog sinew]

eh my uni has way worse times

[old marlin]

yea but you don't need to go to work every day when you need to go to uni

[fair gull]

i mean if said viertel 5 id not be confused why youre confused that i mean 4:15

[old marlin]

that is just the bad way to say it 💀

[fair gull]

but i did believe 12 bis mittag is a more well known joke thing to say in germany

[fair gull]

highly regional you mean

[analog sinew]

i just didnt realise it was a joke because you said yes

[fair gull]

its how everyone in my home town and region says it

[digital cliff]

no, the switch is just a magnet

any magnet would accomplish the same long as it trips the hall-effect sensor

[novel oar]

So I can just use any keycaps or switch and Wooting will still be fast as hell?

[ashen spindle]

Keycaps yes switch no since if they don’t have the right magnets they won’t work

[novel oar]

Kk

[digital cliff]

yeah long as the switch is compatible, like raptor or jades

[glass stratus]

It just read on the website its not possible because of the missing magnets in other switches.m

[ashen spindle]

Yes that’s why fleimi said as long as the switch is compatible aka is using a magnet as well

[umbral heron]

Current state of affairs of me trying to work with RPi's Wi-Fi

[reef patrol]

That bad?

[umbral heron]

I'm currently trying to talk it into compiling a driver for external dongle
3h in and no results so far

[marsh glade]

Calslock right now

[umbral heron]

Add hammer in hand and it will be spot on

[ashen spindle]

Why’s he disguised as mansen though

[marsh glade]

Because he likes to use the emote haha

[umbral heron]

I don't know what are you talking about

[rough osprey]

[fair gull]

easy fix: use ethernet

if you really cant id fallback to wifi cables instead of wifi

[halcyon moss]

if that supports POE, that might be possible

[umbral heron]

If it was up to me, I'd certainly use ethernet

And unfortunately RPi doesn't have POE

[fair gull]

ok can i at least interest you in a wireless showerhead then

[old marlin]

just get a poe adapter/hat

something like this is pretty cheap

[halcyon moss]

thats for power in

the wireless would require poe out

[umbral heron]

If I could use the ethernet there wouldn't be an issue whatsoever
But it'll be mounted in a room where there's only wi-fi, and corpo's wi-fi is WPA3, which RPi's outdated broadcom driver doesn't support, and so... now I'm here
At least I know my dongle works with WPA3, so it's just a matter of setting it up (hopefully)

[halcyon moss]

at that point it might be worth it to wire it via an AP

[old marlin]

ah

just use powerline

[umbral heron]

That was my first idea too, set up AP, bridge to wi-fi, connect everything there, done
But networking team was... a bit less enthusiastic about this

[old marlin]

unsurprising

[fair gull]

and a custom compiled driver with potential security issues is better?

wha

i dont get how this is the better solution

[umbral heron]

I dunno
Thankfully this one seems to be working just fine with my dongle https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver
Raspberry still hasn't decided on enabling experimental RTW88 support, so it's currently the best I can do

[rough osprey]

can the eu now mandate a lossless audio codec that all wireless audio devices have to use

and also make all audio streaming services stream lossless for no additional cost

[old marlin]

[rough osprey]

if yall vote me into eu parlament ill make it happen

[halcyon moss]

[rough osprey]

ik the existing options lol

kinda just want spotify to upgrade

cuz its the best service imo

[digital cliff]

I should really get tws buds that support better codecs, feel kinda stupid carrying flacs around on my phone when my buds do only the basic codec, whatever it's called

[halcyon moss]

sbc

[digital cliff]

thank

[halcyon moss]

which can is quite decent in newer bluetooths

[digital cliff]

I've been looking at the sonys second hand but so far didn't pull the trigger

should really look into them more to figure out what I wanna get

[halcyon moss]

https://lineageos.org/engineering/Bluetooth-SBC-XQ/

[digital cliff]

ok but my phone does not have that

or the buds anyway, dunno how it works

just standard sbc

[astral haven]

I switched away bc it wasn't able to recommend new things after a while
Deezer also stopped recommending anything new after a while, now I use yt music and it's been great

But I hope it'll improve massively

[ashen spindle]

tbh I think it's more server using it for validation and those more often use nvidia

what servers would use gpu-z for validation?

gpu-z validation is for hwbot and other oc which is mostly enthusiasts

Cat ate SO's headphone cable.

Suggestions for a "gaming headset" with a removable cable (or wireless USB C charging) and (preferably) a removable mic?

Her old Corsair headset has proven tough to replace.

[halcyon moss]

Beyer dynamic Mmx200

[cursive summit]

Audeze Maxwell

Wireless/Wired depending on need

[thick elk]

You know, I know you have the skills to fix the thing yourself, solder on a new cable.

[analog sinew]

I once soldered the middle of an audio cable

it worked for a while, though soldering enamel wires was a pain in the ass

[cursive summit]

How old is that person

Literally a juvenile sweatshop

[smoky frigate]

judging by the outfit, they are hiring genuine animes to do the work

you can buy entire mainboards they made with scavenged chips, they can't be beat for their hustling skills lol

[cursive summit]

Uhh @young pecan

Remember ages back we talked about 1 million+ token context length

It's.. kinda here

[final flame]

Maxwell, or get a modmic and put it on like a 6xx or some other proper headphone

Modmics can easily be removed

[unkempt lake]

I like my G733 as a cheaper option. It can often be found on good sales and it has 30 hour battery life and is super lightweight + mic is removable. To me that matters

If you want something more expensive then go with something more expensive like headphones with a modmic or audeze maxwells

It all depends on what you need really

[final flame]

If she's happy, you're happy

[unkempt lake]

What's important is making sure her priorities are met, she may not be a crazy audiophile. I feel like a lot of people here won't take that into account, clearly she was happy with her old corsair headset

[cursive summit]

You should stay in your lane and leave audio for others

[unkempt lake]

You're an ass

Literally

[cursive summit]

It couldn't be any other way

[unkempt lake]

I have the right to give my opinion on something

You may disagree with me but everyone has different priorities in life

[cursive summit]

Oh that was just some heartfelt advice, no hard feelings

Anyways this is boring, I'm back to grinding

[unkempt lake]

No it's called every single time someone doesn't tully agree with your "audiophile expert" opinion you behave like a bitch

Not the first time you've done this and it sucks ass it's childish behavior

[thick elk]

Kind of seems like part of the bare essentials for a music player.

[reef patrol]

Hmm. Interesting picks but maybe a bit much for her budget.

I miss being a tech reviewer. Accessories was the one thing Corsair and friends just threw at us to cover in any sense.

[umbral heron]

Strawberry Player, I can highly recommend

[thick elk]

That's a correct choice for a music player on linux

[smoky frigate]

I am unfortunately assburgers about UI consistency, but I will give it a try regardless

[thick elk]

That is by far the weakest point of strawberry for sure

you can at least make it follow the default qt theme for the most part

[smoky frigate]

I like Quod Libet with a few asterisks, but it draws toolboxes over other, full screen windows, so it gets the axe now

mään I tried to look for banshee, it's been abandoned since 2014 lol. I remember it sucking anyway. still, so many projects with identical goals getting started, and if they are not dead within a few years they still miss essential features for an organized library...

holy shit, strawberry. I have not seen explicit OSSv4 support in a DAMN long time

[thick elk]

Is how mine looks, fine for me.

[sharp badger]

HyperX Cloud Alpha is ''decently'' priced, it's €71 here

[umbral heron]

And so it begins...

[thick elk]

Updating doesn't take too long most of the time

speaking from a couple 100 gb music directory on a 6tb mirrored btrfs volume over sshfs

[cursive summit]

Cloud Alphas are... ok

Good build on those, sound is bleh, acceptable

[sharp badger]

Yeah don't know the budget but they're usually good enough, fixing the cable is one alternative too

[cursive summit]

Could look into Beyerdynamic MMX100 if MMX200 or higher are too expensive, those are under 100 or so

[sharp badger]

The MMX 100 is €79 here

[smoky frigate]

I may have some hangups about the UI but strawberry is

[cursive summit]

Same here

Budget audio is just weird

[smoky frigate]

if only I could add custom transcoders...

[thick elk]

Just wondering why are you using the transcoders?
When I still needed transcodes I just had a shell script transcoding my whole library to move it to my phone.

Moving to a larger micro-sd has made that redundant

I always saw transcoders inside music players like that as a redundant feature.

[smoky frigate]

if I do that, I will have very little space left on my phone, and I need that for work/photos

[thick elk]

Still is your music player the best place to transcode? or are there better dedicated solutions?

[smoky frigate]

I used to have foobar2000 do all that work for me, I would transcode everything that's lossless and copy everything lossy, using the same folder structure

worked remarkably well, but it looks like I need to advance to shell scripts too now 😛

[umbral heron]

[thick elk]

Basically my script, made simplified versions to copy the few files that were not flacs next to it, because I was to lazy to make it all one script.
If I were to make this again I wouldn't just write it in shell, and could very well leverage ffmpeg instead of directly interfacing with opusenc.

[smoky frigate]

hrm, this is way above my skill level but I will copy it regardless, thanx

as an aside, I prefer the old ReplayGain volume adjustment style over the newer EBU 128 or what it's called. I don't suppose you know a way to scan these? I'd use foobar2000 but the package I compiled from the AUR (on ubuntu lol) works incredibly unstable, so I need to switch to native tools finally

[gusty kiln]

I like using musicbee, but eventually I want to transfer over to plex for self hosting

[smoky frigate]

actually this script is very readable, I think I can customize it

Even has its own little menu

[smoky frigate]

musicbee looks quite clean and modern without being dumbed down, very cool

I just checked back if my first ever true "audio player" still works. I present to you, Billy version 1.04 from 2005-ish. it supports only flac and mp3, and no tags, or libraries. but it still worx fucking perfect lol

[umbral heron]

I love how Firefox just doesn't know what to do with media players when I take control over ALSA in Strawberry

[smoky frigate]

wut you don't use pipewire?

[umbral heron]

Sure do Just straight to sound card in Strawberry via ALSA

[final flame]

it's also quite customizable in terms of layout, whether you prefer a more album art based layout like I have setup
or a more text based one

Speaking of Mozilla, some sad news happened today https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/mozilla-pivots-to-ai-integration-in-firefox-amidst-5-workforce-reduction/ar-BB1ikHC7 https://gizmodo.com.au/2024/02/mozilla-layoffs-metaverse/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/mozilla-is-backing-off-its-security-and-privacy-services-to-focus-on-firefox/ar-BB1ihN6m

Layoffs, project cancellations and AI

Idk what Mozilla is doing

They are a non-profit, why are they doing the same thing bigshots do

[analog sinew]

who are these people that always come up with this shit

refocusing in the browser whoo wee

[ashen spindle]

not sure how them being non profit matters for having to lay off people if projects get scrapped or dont have funding

if the money isnt there it's not there

[umbral heron]

Oh, sure
WebUSB support? PWA support? Nah, it's not secure
AI? You son of a bitch, I'm in

[ashen spindle]

a non profit still needs to chase what brings in people unless they are doing work for free

[smoky frigate]

I have to ask, why do that when PW hardly fucks with the audio at all

[umbral heron]

Dunno, just wanted to try how it works
Also it's nice that it connects straight to the dongle

[smoky frigate]

fair! and yeah, ALSA str8 to device is the most direct way on probably any system rn

unless you're on OSS with freebsd and pipe audio directly to /dev/whatever-audio-device, because OSS is based and epic

[cursive summit]

Last I checked focusing on AI will not bring people in

[umbral heron]

I'll try it tomorrow

[thick elk]

There are good arguments why WebUSB is terrible, it's just too damn useful.

[umbral heron]

Just add a switch in settings, so you can disable WebUSB entirely, and ask every time you want to use USB device in browser

[thick elk]

If I were to implement it, I would say keep a whitelist on a browser level and allow the user to add to that

[umbral heron]

That's also a good idea

Just give users a choice

[thick elk]

Don't let sites prompt for it at least.

[astral haven]

disagree
just dont let them prompt more than once

[smoky frigate]

can't get OSSv4 compiled anymore on loonix
last kernel I managed was an early 5.x kernel, and then it crashed my whole machine, cause (I think) while the PCI version of my sound card is supported, the PCIE has a pci-to-pcie bridge in it that OSS doesn't know about. and since it does everything in kernel, the OS then shits itself completely

tldr OSS is dead, leave it in the past lol

[umbral heron]

Now it sounds even more fun to do

[smoky frigate]

if you can get it to run I wanna hear about it

[cursive summit]

Doesn't WebUSB exist on Firefox?

There's a mozilla page for it

[umbral heron]

Well... https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#webusb

[cursive summit]

So

This is what makes Wootility web work?

[umbral heron]

Basically yeah

[cursive summit]

I guess it's pretty useful

[umbral heron]

Demo Wootility works just fine in Firefox

[steep creek]

oh yikes thats about 380 usd

[steep creek]

yea lol

it does not have multipoint for now afaik

[astral haven]

thats what the video says 😦

sad

[young pecan]

Oh.
That was fast.

So does this mean you can feed Gemini a research textbook and get it to just go through the entire thing as context?

[sharp badger]

That PSU is more interesting than that table

[dull axle]

Because theyre running AI

to cut costs

Its the same as gemini

[novel oar]

Yo, my Wooting keyboard module arrived with custom keycaps but haven’t unboxed it yet, does it come with tools for me to use like a keycap puller or any small tools?

[dull axle]

comes with Poron foam, Foam for the board, a cable and another foam to put for your keyboard until your keyboard case arrives

There is no keycap puller nor any smaller tool's as you would need to buy it as a seperate thing

[novel oar]

I’m trying to lubricate the springs and stabilizers

I’ve already ordered the lube

[dull axle]

Then you gotta the stuff besides lube

Or get any switch puller and a keycap puller

https://wooting.io/product/blank-switch-toolkit

[novel oar]

Thank u

[dull axle]

You can see the module's website for whats in the box

Section it literally says it all

[novel oar]

So if I buy that toolkit that’s everything I need?

[dull axle]

and happy 2 help

[dull axle]

TECHNICALLY

Cuz if youre into lubing switches and what not

[dull axle]

This is the stuff you need there

If youre thinking of getting a case and wanting to burger mount you gotta get some stuff for burgermount

[reef patrol]

Slight correction. You still need a keycap puller long-term.

[dull axle]

Ty mansen for the correction

Unless you wanna sigma male it out use your hands LOL

or use 2 spoons and then pull it out

(Yes its an actual method you can do)

^Which i don't recommend

I call it "Spoon pulling"

[fair gull]

hell yeah even more webservers

people should just start using caddy

[old marlin]

people should host their webservers on a vw caddy

[fair gull]

no i mean caddy https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy

having recently switched i do like it more than nginx despite having used nginx for ages. the simple fact it automatically does HTTP->HTTPS and automatically gets all SSL certs for configured domains etc makes it so much nicer cause my configs arent full of garbage just to set those 2 up.

also feels slightly faster

[halcyon moss]

treafik seems a popular option for that as well

[fair gull]

yeah i heard a lot about treafik as well but havent used it personally

in general i feel like nginx will loose marketshare in the future

[halcyon moss]

auto ssl with nginx and docker is a bit of a pain unfortunately

[fair gull]

i mean even always having to do the http redirect explicitly is shit imo

[halcyon moss]

true

[fair gull]

like these days you have to use https and ssl certs to just be available on the web

and for the 1 or 2 internal domains i wanna use http only i can still explicitly disable those 2 things for that 1 specific domain

[raw zephyr]

i just use traefik

but for anything outside of docker it's dumb

Stock footage market sure does appear to be nearing its death

[reef patrol]

It feeds on literal stock footage.

[old marlin]

[cursive summit]

And then outputs stock footage that you have the rights to, according to them

[reef patrol]

Funny. Because last I checked AI generated content didn't have any legal protections 😄

So uh... might want to hold off a bit.

[cursive summit]

Well according to them you own it

Idk how lawmakers will figure it out

And according to the note I wrote on a piece of toilet paper, I am the king of Belgium.

Seems like there's a lot of good creations, some are cursed

Just gotta press the magic button a few times until it comes out flawless

[fair gull]

yeah the focus on openais post wasnt that its 100% flawless but that its actual consistent video that looks like it could be shot irl

heck even in the puppy video vex posted you can see some odd paw physics where the rioght paw of the dog on the left becomes the right paw of the central dog

[cursive summit]

Still, most people would not look into the footage with eagle eyes and spot artifacts

If this is used as stock footage, hell during some youtube show or whatever for like a 3-4 second clip, it's absolutely perfect for that usage

[fair gull]

yeah

especially with how customizable it is over existing stock footage

also saw some basketball video of theirs which was really impressive since it understood like spatial placement of objects even if it fell apart right after by having a second basketball phase through the hoop

[reef patrol]

My point was that it ultimately relies entirely on a stock video industry.

Predatory, parasitical, completely legally black area atm

really love how all this came into existence leading up to the US elections

[smoky frigate]

I decided to give Lollypop a whirl as an audio player, and I think it may even beat Strawberry for me. it automatically downloads artist pix too, but only from Spotify. so if the artist isn't on spotify, it takes the first vague match it can find, leading to results like this

[digital cliff]

i've just been on mpd+ncmpcpp forever, gave some graphical players a whirl at some point but never really liked any to settle on something

lollypop and elisa I liked the best from what I remember

[tawdry urchin]

Yo guys

i ordered a two he wooting keyboard

and in the mail i got a 60he

how does tht work??????

[digital cliff]

it got wet and shrunk in the mail

need to contact [e-mail] to arrange for a return and all that

[reef patrol]

Most likely the warehouse grabbed the wrong keyboard. As Fleimi mentions above, you'll have to reach out to us for an exchange (please include photos)

[tawdry urchin]

alright, would I just send photos of the keyboard and mention how i ordered the two he?

[reef patrol]

[tawdry urchin]

alright

[digital cliff]

include pictures of cats and a video of you doing the cartwheel when you were 8

[cursive summit]

None really

One shitty game detected it as an issue and they pulled it

Sad that it's an RX 7000 only feature

[ashen spindle]

yes just a shame that shitty game is still the biggest esports game, most played steam game and quite well received

[cursive summit]

Indeed, quite shameful

[tawdry urchin]

yo

i got a reply on a replacement order

how do i work around returning the item i got?

[cursive summit]

Wrong channel

[reef patrol]

You reply to the email asking that.

[reef patrol]

More like... wrong platform. 😄

[cursive summit]

Yummy, semantics

[snow bronze]

@marsh pewter ill tag you here, cuz its not about 60He anymore, I would love to hear your opinion!

100% pushing the limits is great, but pretty important for a mouse? It will become more accurate, but it blows up your battery life.. New mouses with 4k (some claim 8K), but are worse than other mouses that say 1k/2k/4k polling rate, so not all polling rates are the same?

Dont get me wrong, for the wooting im happy that it gets "updated" (Who cares about battery life when you plug it in?), like customers always want something new or something "better", but will it really make a difference where we as humans aren't that accurate or fast to response?

[marsh pewter]

its possible those mice that are promising 4k-8k polling dont have the scanning to back it up. its also up to QC and overall latency that makes a mouse good or bad.

wooting pushing the limits is pretty neat and while at the end of the day it isnt really needed, without wooting pushing the limits we wouldnt have HE boards in general. now 8k polling is pretty overkill, but in the current tech market they sorta had to do it, otherwise another brand would come out with a true 8k polling HE keyboard and would pull people away from wooting (at least thats how I see it)

[smoky frigate]

why not make a ps/2 keyboard if the latency is so important

[snow bronze]

Yeah I get that, they have to stay on-top of the game, like they are the brand with the fastest keyboard rn.

[marsh pewter]

true

[marsh pewter]

im actually not sure if the 60he is the fastest anymore, but wooting still has the best rapid trigger accuracy and implmentation compared to all the other clones.

[smoky frigate]

you could even get a PS/2 card to support it lol

ultimate latency reduction right there, gamers

[umbral heron]

Why does it need a heatsink?

[balmy vector]

Its very stylish
