[halcyon moss]

It's very user friendly, just not for downloading.

[zenith silo]

most people around my age are completely oblivious and do not at all pay attention/read/look anything up

if not spoon fed to them, they find somewhere like discord to ask for questions instead of searching it up

[steady tartan]

Not NEW user friendly, thats the difference

[halcyon moss]

Github is made to make the devs life easier to develop the application.

You get something for free

[steady tartan]

There are many sites that allow you to download free shit and they can be new user friendly

[halcyon moss]

I get its not the easiest to "i just want to download"

[steady tartan]

So whats your point here

[zenith silo]

man github was easy for me to figure out when i first started using it

[halcyon moss]

But that's just entitlement

I want it all and I want it now 😢

[zenith silo]

all i had to do was like, open my eyes and read for like 1 minute, and i havent had an issue downloading stuff from github since

[halcyon moss]

Go ahead and code it yourself

You can't? Or don't want to? Spent the minute to find the download

[steady tartan]

That type of argument is so bad that I wont even begin to tear it apart

[halcyon moss]

What was your argument again
?

[zenith silo]

dude would have an aneurysm trying to compile his own app

i have to install an app to compile my app to install my app 😡

you are being lazy

[halcyon moss]

And whine about it

[zenith silo]

it takes like 1 minute of gooling to figure out how to download shit

[steady tartan]

Im not a programmer so why would I

[zenith silo]

neither am i, im just not restarted

when certain apps i want to use arent able to be downloaded as an exe, you compile them with 2 fucking buttons

you dont need to be a programmer to compile something, its already programmed......

[steady tartan]

If I wanted to do such thing I would have to sacrifice my free time to learn how to do it etc. and would in the end

[zenith silo]

dawg its 2 buttons

you entitled mf🤣

[halcyon moss]

This is so silly, someone made something for someone else to be useful, made it available in an easy manner for others to find, just that the download button of a .exe is harder to find..

Spent hours making it. And you can't be arsed to find the button

[zenith silo]

your time isnt worth git hubs time catering to morons

[halcyon moss]

I. Don't like that attitude

[zenith silo]

if its not a big blue download button im writing a complaint

[steady tartan]

You talk like you know me

[zenith silo]

dont need to, i can already tell you are entitlted

👍

now thats a mighty argument

[reef patrol]

We do not use that kind of language here. First and final warning.

[steady tartan]

You cant tell shit, the fact that you interpolated my argument of GitHub into thinking Im not thankful for devs for making something for free

[zenith silo]

instead of googling how to download it and not complaining for 0 reason, you are here crying about how its not user friendly to download

[steady tartan]

I have heard it million of times but thanks broski

[steady tartan]

If you actually read from the beggining of the whole ordeal you would know that I have no problem with using the GitHub

The talk was about new users

But I know that people love to prove others being wrong while thinking they are right

[steady sail]

When i was 14 or 15 it took me 5 minutes to understand github

[reef patrol]

Still takes me a minute or so to remember where the fuck they hide download links.

[steady sail]

[fair gull]

why was there a discussion on people misusing githubs release page to distribute their compiled downloads. the main use for it is having an easy place to download release related versioned sourcecode bundles and assets related to it. this is an issue of projects not wanting to make a simple website giving you a download link to the latest build binaries.

[reef patrol]

The intended use and the practical use are two very differen things. We've debated this before 😄

[fair gull]

still means that this is sort of (in my opinion) invalid blaming of github when they dont intend it to be used this way

[reef patrol]

Yet they don't make any attempts to prevent it or discourage it. So I'd say it still lies with them.

[fair gull]

idk how theyd prevent people from using a github repo as their project website

[reef patrol]

If the norm is to allow this little option at the bottom of this list for compiled projects/mods/hacks, then that's on them.

[reef patrol]

Simply stating they don't want it is a great place to start 😄

Can't enforce something you don't actively state.

[digital cliff]

yep I don't like using github as a place to download binaries but it can't be helped since everything is hosted there

[misty saffron]

/releases

[misty saffron]

using latest compiled source code isn't the greatest idea

a bad one, in fact

[reef patrol]

It is however how a -ton- of people use hitgub to just release shit. No releases page use.

[misty saffron]

unlucky, just compile

[reef patrol]

You're hilarious.

[misty saffron]

if you're talking people releasing binaries in source code - i want to kill each person like that

[reef patrol]

Github is very, very commonly used just to host the latest version of mods for a ton of games. Minecraft among others.

Free hosting and all that.

[misty saffron]

yes, use releases for that purpose

[reef patrol]

Just for end users, no compiling or anything that github offers.

[misty saffron]

when i download source code i expect to download source code

[reef patrol]

Welcome to a reality that doesn't match expectations 😄

[misty saffron]

yeah i just ignore those repos

[reef patrol]

You're a programmer. Different segment of Github.

[misty saffron]

if people can't grasp the basics of github it's unlikely to be worth the time

[reef patrol]

Again this is about how Github IS USED, not how it SHOULD BE used.

[misty saffron]

and yet you should still ignore those

not the first and last time malware has been spread that way

*mostly malware is spread that way

[reef patrol]

Welcome to reality.

Lot of mods are only offered there officially, in that capacity.

[old marlin]

I love getting compiled software etc with no releases

I feel like at leat half the people that host their stuff on github don't know how github works

[misty saffron]

officially? i thought we're not talking about programmers

[old marlin]

no

I mean people that host their stuff on github

the amount of repos with 0 releases

even though they really should just use that feature

💀

[reef patrol]

Or care. If it works, it works, standards be damned 😄

[terse dune]

hey is this the tech help ?

trying to add the danish keys as FN + (something) on my UK ISO keyboard.

[reef patrol]

This is #🔌│tech , you'll want #1019755933959733258
Adding keys like ÆØÅ that aren't already in the chosen keyboard language is ... troublesome.

[terse dune]

oh 😦

[reef patrol]

You'd need to do ALT + 1234 style shortcuts to get them. Can't bind them directly.

[terse dune]

how do you go about those

[reef patrol]

#💻│wootomation

Macros! Each bound to a key. Like FN+A FN+E and FN+O

[digital cliff]

alternative methods include altering your layout with the windows layout creator thing, or simply using danish language in the OS

[terse dune]

ah, i have the danish language pack installed for windows

[digital cliff]

yeah but I mean the keyboard layout

[terse dune]

just not used as my main

[digital cliff]

right right

[terse dune]

ye i tried to pop it as keyboard layout so wootility recognised it but

that didnt work

[reef patrol]

Wootility just shows what the OS tells it to.

You might need to reboot after changing over, to make it detect the change.

[terse dune]

ah. on screen keyboard in danish didnt work out, im guessing my best shot is wootimation ?

im not a native danish speaker but learning it currently which is my reason for adding them

[reef patrol]

You might as well get a Danish localized keyboard and swap over to using the Danish layout.

Much easier once you get used to the changed symbols locations.

[terse dune]

ah, already got a modded out 60he aha

true

[digital cliff]

https://www.zolid.com/uk-intl-kb/index.htm would simply go with something like this if I was in your pants

[terse dune]

i may as well give wootility a go since it should recognise the alt way

[digital cliff]

it's not really a keyboard function, it's a OS language layout function so solving it at the root seems most logical to me

[terse dune]

ah cheers, similar ish to where i was going to pop them

so its in windows i want to add it ?

[digital cliff]

it's not in windows, you'll have to create it using the https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=102134

well that link didn't work... hold up

there

though the website I linked seems to include some downloads for the layout pictured anywayy

[terse dune]

ah thanks

[digital cliff]

I just skimmed through it really

[terse dune]

i assume it supports setting it to

FN + the key

cheers i will just need to remember i have stuff set to them then and not to overlap in wootility haha

[digital cliff]

well it'll automatically have them under AltGr, FN is not really a place for symbols imo

[terse dune]

oh

[digital cliff]

as you can see in the image

[slim spruce]

i want to sell a pc with a 2070 super 8gig and ryzen 7 3700x, how much can i ask for?

[terse dune]

yeah probably a good shout, dont think i literally ever use altgr

dont even know why it exists lol

[digital cliff]

altgr L, K, W and the like

it exists for specifically this purpose

[terse dune]

yeah ill do the q, w and l

[digital cliff]

accented letters and all that

[terse dune]

wait no

L, z and w

[digital cliff]

I personally type finnish using something similar and have done so for ages

[terse dune]

ah makes sense

i may as well add the lot in case i learn more languages afterwards lol

[digital cliff]

yeah I mean, I have basically all symbols available to me

[terse dune]

and i never use altgr

[digital cliff]

äåöãüúł˛đá`ß´óíéñˇ¨æ^çœ˘ just spamming stuff with altgr held down

quite handy :>

[terse dune]

haha ye

language is such a rabbit hole aha

started dansk since im likely to move in the future and always had an interest in doing so and means eventually i can make conversation with swedes too

you lot though i have no chance xD

[digital cliff]

ahhah well danish is probably one of the hardest languages to learn, at least the phonetic aspect

written, not too bad

[terse dune]

yeah the danish o is

quite tricky

[digital cliff]

try the soft d

[terse dune]

i play valorant with a danish team now though so its plenty of hard constructive criticism if i mess it up

[terse dune]

its practically an L ?

[digital cliff]

maybe... depending on who you ask

[terse dune]

i mean as an english guy its not been too painful to pronounce

and the danish o im really getting there

a pointer of it being like the u in "hurt"

was a big help

[reef patrol]

Or the uhh sound in ... well uhh

[terse dune]

duolingo has been working wonders with the subscription

[terse dune]

oh i hadnt thought of that

[reef patrol]

Æ is ehhhhhh

[terse dune]

thats genius

[terse dune]

i got that one pretty nailed

[reef patrol]

Å is also kind of like uhh, but in a slightly different tone 😄

[terse dune]

yeah its more like an o

[reef patrol]

Yeah.

Danish is not an easy language to master. And it doesn't help that Danes generally prefer to just fallback to English, if met with someone who doesn't speak it fluently.

[terse dune]

so i just do that almost and ill probably get there

[reef patrol]

Really gotta pressure us to accept "broken Danish" to help people learn 😄

[terse dune]

haha, ill get there

ive been surrounding myself with accepting ones so ill get it

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-double-thumbs-up-like-agreed-yup-gif-16109683157885754862

[terse dune]

can always pretend i dont understand english if not xD

and improvise a french accent

[reef patrol]

As an added bonus, once you have an ear for Danish, Norwegian becomes like a dialect. Swedish less so, but also fairly easy to grasp.

[terse dune]

yeah ive been watching a lot of films and shows

about 1 month and a half into heavily learning it and im doing okay

[terse dune]

thats good, yeah Broen helps there

[reef patrol]

[terse dune]

i can pretty much tell almost always if its danish or not

[digital cliff]

hats off regardless for trying to learn such a phonologically difficult language

[terse dune]

didnt realise but im in too deep now

and duolingo isnt cheap

and i refuse to give up

[reef patrol]

No assistance from work/state? Could have sworn we have language classes as part of immigration.

[terse dune]

but chances are ill retire there if not before, ah i dont live there

i live in the UK at the moment

[reef patrol]

Ahhhh... yeah that makes it a bit difficult to receive help I spose 😄

[terse dune]

oh the english dont care to help learn anything but english, french and german

despite our scandinavian history

and maybe a bit of spanish if you are lucky

[reef patrol]

Una.. cer..cerve...cervesa por favor

[terse dune]

i mean welsh is clinging on for dear life

[reef patrol]

[terse dune]

oh btw the link you sent

im trying to use that file but its not working

[reef patrol]

The what and the what now?

[terse dune]

in download/installation

[digital cliff]

that was me

[reef patrol]

Ahh the layout creator.

[digital cliff]

you tried these both? I'm not sure how it works

[terse dune]

yeah, couldnt work out how and which to uis

[terse dune]

for these

[digital cliff]

guess the other one is a fully generated one and the other one is for MSKLC if you want to edit it beforehand

[terse dune]

second is just a webpage of text

[digital cliff]

yeah you'd have to save the webpage as a file and import into msklc I guess

but otherwise use the zipped one, it's an installer right

just adds the layout into windows and then you can toggle it in the settings I'd assume

can't really check myself but that's what I'm assuming

[terse dune]

oh

might do it manually

only want the altgr stuff changed

[digital cliff]

that's all that would change, otherwise it's just ISO UK

just with a useful altgr layer

[terse dune]

ye

cheers for all that 🙂

oh

[terse dune]

how would i delete everything else there

[digital cliff]

you'd need to install msklc and drop the .klc file there

I'm literally just assuming things, I don't use windows and much less msklc :P

[terse dune]

i mean once import it how do i remove everything that affects stuff that isnt altgr stuff

[digital cliff]

I'm not sure it's different in any other way

it's just iso uk with an altgr layer

[terse dune]

ah

[umbral heron]

AltGr is... weird on Windows, lest to say https://msklc-guide.github.io/#5

[terse dune]

i just know a couple bits when wooting sent it was different

like i remember the function and right ctrl were other way to my last uk iso keyboard

[digital cliff]

those you can remap in wootility if you choose

[terse dune]

yeah i did that aha

just tested

everything is all good

only affected the altgr

[tawny hemlock]

alt gr is cool

i need alt gr

[terse dune]

yeah

just got to work out how to save it

[digital cliff]

typical

[terse dune]

wdym haha

oh fun

[tawny hemlock]

whats my password pls

i found it thanks

[umbral heron]

What would be nowadays the IDE to develop in React + Typescript? VSCodium still?

[cosmic thunder]

v0

(am not front dev)

[umbral heron]

Neither am I, and I used only vim for last year or so

[cosmic thunder]

lol

i recommend using vscodium if you work with react

or typescript

works flawlessly ✨

[halcyon moss]

im using webstorm, i like it

[cosmic thunder]

but isn't paid software?

[halcyon moss]

did he say it should be free?

[cosmic thunder]

um no but

[halcyon moss]

and yes, it is paid, and imho well worth it

[cosmic thunder]

yeah i really liked jetbrains ides like pycharm

[halcyon moss]

you can do ts + react in pycharm as well

[cosmic thunder]

what

like using plugins or something i guess?

[halcyon moss]

yeah think so

and the ideavim plugin is pretty good as well

[cosmic thunder]

ah right that could be useful

[cursive summit]

I can give you a license for any of the jetbrains stuff

Jetbrains is pretty great

[umbral heron]

I think JetBrains stuff is a bit overkill for what I'm trying to do, but thanks
VSCodium will do perfectly fine

[fair gull]

i use nano for editing my ts projects with react

[cosmic thunder]

pro

[analog socket]

I use webstorm for web-development and vscode for bot-development lol

[fair gull]

i hate jetbrains stuff cause i just never feel comfortable with the UI

i just use vscode insider for anything

[reef patrol]

#🐸│memes message

[old marlin]

ah

ye original post tho

Almost like GitHub is explicitly for developers

[reef patrol]

Yeah I forgot to link it over here, since it was so fitting 😄

[old marlin]

no

that is exactly why github has releases as a feature

[atomic storm]

notepad

[reef patrol]

Like I said earlier - They need to actually enforce that.

Cause what their intent is - and how reality is... are not remotely the same 😄

[old marlin]

eh

not all projects are at a point for a release

or are something that would make sense to have a release

[reef patrol]

You can't on one hand claim that github is only for developers, and on the other hand have no problem with a ton of projects using it purely as a hosting platform for the latest build of RANDOM_MOD_FOR_THING

Checked through my recent Minecraft setup, and I needed to visit about a dozen different Github pages to get the files needed to run things. None of which used releases 😄

[old marlin]

not saying that myself

[reef patrol]

Also a couple for 2077 for frameworks.

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but GitHub doesn’t care it’s not intuitive for non devs because they don’t primarily serve that group

So they don’t need to enforce people using it as a hosting site because it don’t changing anything either way for the site or devs using it

[reef patrol]

Again - Just hypcrisy at play. I don't care either way. I care about the "but it's not for end users" as an argument, because it's clearly being used as such 😛

[digital cliff]

I don't see how that is github's fault though

[old marlin]

it's not

though they aren't settign a good precedent in that post

[reef patrol]

I disagree. See "enforcement"

[old marlin]

they do not even mention releases being a thing

[digital cliff]

they can do what they want lol

nobody can demand github to cater to their preferences or whatever

it is what it is in the end

[ashen spindle]

If discord was used and you had to scroll up and down to find mod installs and for some reason that became the norm would you say it’s discords fault for their users using it in stupid ways?

[digital cliff]

oh yeah quin raises a good point, especially with FF14 a bunch of stuff regarding to mods or otherwise game-related shit and tools are hosted on discord, a platform that is notoriously shit for any permanent information

I personally despise it but not like it's discord's fault and they should start banning users xd

[old marlin]

yea idk "hosting" your files on discord is pretty stupid

[digital cliff]

it is the worst

[old marlin]

next step is them encoding the data into video files and sharing them via tiktok or something

[cursive summit]

"If you're not a developer, then GitHub is the wrong place for you to be looking for software. "

Then why are most important softwares hosted in github

[old marlin]

which is like entirely wrong

[cursive summit]

I can't lie I do hate apps that you have to compile yourself

[old marlin]

that is what the releases section is for

[cursive summit]

But most have binaries so it's not a problem

[cursive summit]

Indeed

[reef patrol]

It is entirely their fault and issue that the way it's used doesn't reflect the intent, yes.
That's called PR, and it's bad/lazy 😛

You shouldn't use Github outside of dev
Great - So don't fucking let people do it to the point of it becoming a normalized thing.

[umbral heron]

• make

[reef patrol]

[digital cliff]

well your opinion is just wrong

cue that one stupid gif

[reef patrol]

👍

[cursive summit]

Ngl I tried several times commiting into GitHub a project

It'd just be "Success!"

Half of the files are missing

[vagrant pagoda]

Lol

Git pull good

[cursive summit]

Which is why I never used github ever again

[ashen spindle]

What versioning tool do you use then

[cursive summit]

Me?

Desktop

Which is none

Frequent backups and a lot of CTRL+Z if anything goes awry

[ashen spindle]

Spend 20 minutes to understand git basics and you save hours of not having to do backups

[umbral heron]

Yeah, once you get to "merge conflicts" section you'll realize you'll save hours by not using git

[cursive summit]

I see zero benefit from versioning tools

[ashen spindle]

I mean that only happens if you have multiple people working on it or are using more than one branch

If you just work on one you miss out on advantages but are also just having one streamlined version that you can just go back and forth on

[digital cliff]

bruh

[old marlin]

if you have multiple people working on it you get "merge conflicts" by having 2 separate files you gotta manually paste together

[cursive summit]

You're not even a developer

[halcyon moss]

That's why the entire industry uses version control systems

[cursive summit]

All the power to you, they just inconvenience me

[ashen spindle]

Clicking two buttons is an inconvenience over making manual backups and all that?

[cursive summit]

Yep

Especially if it doesn't work and just refuses to backup the files

[ashen spindle]

Then you set it up wrong

[cursive summit]

I think I used PyCharm's inbuilt Git thing

It would never succeed copying my files

Always just skips something and refuses to manually upload something saying it's "already been uploaded".. when it hasn't

[ashen spindle]

So fix it or use another git client

[halcyon moss]

Pycharms git ui is pretty good imho

[ashen spindle]

Either way is less time than manually backing up stuff

[cursive summit]

Why would I bother when the usefulness of git is dubious

[halcyon moss]

Must be a expectation issur

[cursive summit]

I just like CTRL+C -> CTRL+V'ing my folders

[ashen spindle]

Enjoy when you need to work with more than yourself on a project or copy the wrong thing once

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[halcyon moss]

Copying is not a thing you do in git.
You commit and push

If you want to go back you look in the log or similar

[ashen spindle]

Yeah I’m saying he will at one point copy the wrong thing and have lost something because it’s not reachable anymore since it wasn’t committed anywhere

Or good luck if you have an issue that was working 2 weeks ago and you need to revert to fix that but don’t have a changelog

[halcyon moss]

Bisecting is also very nice

[digital cliff]

ngl I just used github to host an .stl file once so I could quickly show it to someone as github has a model preview thing

everyone always like "I'm sick but it's definitoly not the goroner" <<<<< every single one

[reef patrol]

Did test myself on Friday. Very negative. Haven't been hit once, and I got all of the boosters, like they're gym badges in pokemon.

[digital cliff]

yeah I love it when people say this

like how the fuck would you know if you didn't test

[smoky frigate]

I just got the base vax, haven't bothered to get boosted. I've had small bouts of sickness since then, but never anything bad enough to stay home. every test at work is out of date, and always negative. I guess if I got some sort of covid since then, I'll just be accumulating nerve damage 😛

off-topic, but I've been learning a bit about the black plague recently, and europe in the year 1355 was pretty much a post-apocalyptic world

[reef patrol]

Yeah it was brutal - and happened more than once. It was one of the most meaningful societal changes in history. Turned peasants into citizens, purely out of need. Gave us last names.

[smoky frigate]

england went from 6 million people to 2 million in the span of a few years, and it kickstarted societal change that would have otherwise taken hundreds more years, probably

there was a peasant revolt that came within a hair of overthrowing the monarchy, with the help of radicalized clergymen. had they succeeded, there could have been a sort of peasant socialism in england in the 14th century... wild!

[digital cliff]

yeah it's just that the lifeforms running this simulation wanted to play around little in sandbox mode

[ashen spindle]

I just hope rdna5 uses EPS and we finally get one cable for all things

[vagrant pagoda]

eps is king

there is a reason why tesla uses eps

[thick elk]

While that would be nice, compatibility is an issue here according to the spec 2 pci-e 8 pins can be replaced with 1 EPS connector.

I can imagine some poorly designed psu offering more eps connectors and using some badly designed multi-rail system that ends up failing.

Otherwise dual pci-e 8pin to eps would be a viable adapter.

[ashen spindle]

bad psus will fail either way

but at least this is a working connector and the user cant break it like the 12 pin

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peH4ic7g5yc

Difference being that with other standards the connectors that are tapped are meant for the GPU, but yea I doubt it's going to be a huge problem.

Watching the video now, but judging from the title it seems like VMware is in the milking phase, taking advantage of older customers that cannot switch while knowing it's a dead-end otherwise.

Okay different topic at all.

Pretty terrible, so dumping the small businesses milking the big cloud providers and over time loosing relevancy seems like the strategy here.

[ashen spindle]

yeah they are also killing nonprofit/academia licences it seems

so everyone is getting fucked

[halcyon moss]

It's all moving to docker

[eager aurora]

so this is just a general thing but

i have a cheap mechanical keyboard thats laying around

and some of its keys just stoppped working

is that being caused by bad switches ?

or what exactly is the issue

i was thinking about replacing the switches of that keyboard with functioning ones

but idek if switches r the problem

what does that mean exactly

multimeter?

[zenith silo]

The switches are soldered in

[mild dome]

Device used for testing electrical circuits, google it for more information

[gusty kiln]

wait, unraid had free updates before?

[umbral heron]

Used to it seems

So essentially Lifetime will be the same as Pro, but more expensive

[gusty kiln]

hopefully not too much more expensive

like 150-170

wonder how much the updates will cost

ideally in the single digit dollar range

[umbral heron]

Unleashed will be nice - $89 for unlimited devices, but 1 year of updates

[gusty kiln]

yeah

I haven't had a chance to build a nas yet

already spent 2 grand on my S24U and 4070TiSuper

[umbral heron]

I'd love to switch from my QNAP in some near future
It's enough I run 2 containers on it and it sometimes hangs up
And I can't install TrueNAS on it, because it's ARM model

[gusty kiln]

oof entry level models are rough

terramaster has a internal USB stick, I think those are ideal for unraid

[umbral heron]

Yeah, entry models suck
And with some wild RAID trickery, even support couldn't help me with understanding this, so in case NAS will die, my data is gone

[gusty kiln]

ripppp

[reef patrol]

Back shit up, dump the NAS?

Seems silly to risk it.

[umbral heron]

I moved everything sensitive from it already, I only have movies, games and some easily available stuff on there

Still would kinda suck if I lost everything there

[reef patrol]

Takes time and effort to get all of that bad.

Get the replacement today, not tomorrow.

I've been eyeing recertified drives

https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/manufacturer-recertified-drives?pf_t_interface_type=interface%3ASATA

[reef patrol]

Said it yourself. It's going to break.

You could literally just buy the HDD now and copy it over, shelf the disk for a rebuild later.

And then copy it back, then add the temporary disc to the array

[gusty kiln]

16tb for 144 is tempting

[umbral heron]

Yeah, I think I'll unplug it for a while

Or get a new hardware and use some cloud storage to move the data

i use a trackball in bed, tho yea the weight distribution really doesnt matter

[mild dome]

Surely the weight doesn't get factored into the review score?

[final flame]

it does

at least for the "gaming" part of the review

[old marlin]

giving CPI a rating is equally stupid

just interpolate it to allow up to 1 billion cpi

LOD is also stupid for a trackball

actually weight is a consideration for one of their categories

I can see it being relevant for travel

funnily enough

the mx ergo does not have travel

I'd assume office/multimedia on the elecom is equivalent to work

but they only critizise the mx ergo for being a trackball here

[chrome estuary]

I absolutely adore the MX Ergo. But I've used a trackball or my primary mouse for something along the lines for a decade or more. Gaming and everything else. Using normal mice anymore feels weird unless it's for very very minor tasks like at work.

[languid birch]

does anyone here know how to stop signalrgb from controlling my keyboard lighting?

i simply use signalrgb to disable my pc rgb as its distracting while gaming so if theres an alternative i'd be happy to use that instead

[umbral heron]

Hm... Pretty sure you would be able to disable PCs RGB in UEFI, that's how I did with mine

[reef patrol]

SignalRGB settings.

BIOS has no control over this.

[digital cliff]

yeah I think you just right click on the keyboard in signalRGB and disable the control for it

[languid birch]

yeah i tried looking in the signalrgb settings but its not listed anywhere, the only thing i found so far is delete the wooting plugin in the files but every time they update it comes back

[languid birch]

that just makes it go to a preset color tough

[digital cliff]

#archived_wooting_60he message I don't know what software this is

but this person did this

[languid birch]

yeah did that, now the rgb doesnt change at all

lemme try rebooting

[digital cliff]

sure

[umbral heron]

It usually has an option to disable PC RGB Better alternative than using SignalRGB for a singular purpose

[ashen spindle]

If it’s a fan or similar you can also just not connect the rgb cable

[languid birch]

somehow after rebooting my keyboard is now stuck on a single color

signalrgb doesnt detect the keyboard anymore thank god

[umbral heron]

Unfortunately with some cheaper fans if you disconnect RGB cable they just default to rainbow puke

[ashen spindle]

Lol

[reef patrol]

That doesn't do what you think it does.

[old marlin]

[umbral heron]

[reef patrol]

It disables the RGB control - within the BIOS.

[old marlin]

on ARGB stuf you could prob ground the data pin?

[digital cliff]

stuck? wootility can't change it?

[languid birch]

nope

[digital cliff]

so then something else is still controlling it

[languid birch]

no other program should currently be in control of it

[digital cliff]

how about you kill signalrgb entirely for a moment

best make a thread too in #1019755933959733258 , it's getting wordy now

[languid birch]

well the thing is, its stuck at the last color signalrgb gave it before i disabled it

but after reboot its still stuck at that color even tough signalrgb doesnt even detect the keyboard

fully killed signalrgb and no change

replugging the usb seems to have worked but its still weird that i had to do that as a fix

also for context, i have a wooting two he

[ashen spindle]

As fleimi said make a thread in #1019755933959733258 so it’ll be more organized as it seems to be a bigger issue now

[languid birch]

alright

[cursive summit]

What's a 70% pump

[ashen spindle]

It’s 5% less than a TKL pump keyboard

[cursive summit]

Pumps come in standard sizes?

I was thinking it's like the pump is on 70% speed/power or something but that doesn't make any sense why would that improve thermals by a few celsius

Or is that like a common practice to preserve life on the pump? Ramp up the fans but keep pump somewhat "underclocked"?

I know virtually nothing about AIOs lol, sorry for asking

[ashen spindle]

I assumed calling it a pump keyboard made it obvious I was not serious

It’s the noise normalized test

[cursive summit]

Didn't sound serious but tbf I got no clue about the industry so maybe there are some minipumps

It's a somewhat DIY market anyways, water coolers

[crimson wigeon]

I got cheapo BT headphones as one does, it's alright except it got buttons, now that's useful.. except double tapping a button redials, who the fuck wants that and this can only be turned off by disabling all call related functionality in it

Yes

[old marlin]

LF3 is decent

the shroud on top is not the fan btw

[sharp badger]

Ah ok 🤔

[fair gull]

23? what weird anniversary is this

[ashen spindle]

Marketing had to find something I guess

[sharp badger]

Yup

[ashen spindle]

But putting it together with a good new product launch makes more sense than doing a 25 year anniversary that’s just 10% price cuts

[tropic arrow]

new LF3 coolers have 30% off for 3 month

[analog sinew]

https://youtu.be/zfffNRTOZCc?si=0itB7lfiLd7xYPpT

why does this have a fan on the pump

i guess it works but something of an aio being an aircooler in a roundabout way is funny

[reef patrol]

Because it helps a bit with the VRMs iirc.

Their previous model.

[ashen spindle]

Aios have always been aircoolers since they have fans on the tanks in that sense

[analog sinew]

that too yes

this is just more on the nose

[reef patrol]

Water doesn't cool, it moves the heat. Always needed actual fans to disperse the heat into the air and out of the case 😄

Unless you're Lainus and have a pool I spose

[vast geyser]

Technically nothing cools

Heat just moves around

[digital cliff]

yeah cooling is just the absence of energy

nothing can "gain coolness" 😎 I mean except me but I'm already cool as a cucumber

[halcyon moss]

Peltier

[digital cliff]

[fickle ore]

isnt everything between hot and cold coolness?

[analog sinew]

physically, cold does not exist

just less heat

I guess you could call absolute zero cold?

[fickle ore]

neither does heat

but we still use heat and cold to describe our relative feelings to the absolute values

[analog sinew]

yes ofc, that's just what fleimi was getting at

but colloquially sure

this is just a silly semantics discussion if you ask me, but that is fun sometimes :D

https://www.techpowerup.com/319350/cooler-master-sues-silverstone-enermax-and-their-oem-for-aio-clc-patent-infringement
How the tables have turned

[ashen spindle]

The 5800x3d is much cheaper here than in us pricing area so it’s not worth to get anything but that one really

Like the 5700x3d is only 10 bucks cheaper than the 58

So the 56 would be like 25 cheaper maybe 30 at that point it’s very much worth just getting the 5800x3d instead

[steady sail]

[digital cliff]

still waiting on the 5800x3d to make a reasonable showing in the second hand market 🛌

there's almost none up on offer, the occasional time one is it's not even cheap

too good of a product never coming down in price

[reef patrol]

When 8000 series land, you should see a new spike.

I haven't gotten around to try and sell my 5600X

[digital cliff]

5600Xs still go for the same price they went a year and half ago

goes to show how good those are as well

I was hoping the 7800x3d would knock some 5800x3ds into the market but apparently not enough

[old marlin]

price was prohibitive

[digital cliff]

lame

..and as I say that one sold for 220€ just yesterday

not awesome but better than the 250+ they've been consistently going for, second hand, in finnyland

[chrome lava]

Hello, can anyone here recommend some sub 300g wireless 2.4ghz headphones? or headset with detachable mic

[thick elk]

While I am certain people can come up with recommendations, you may be better off asking somewhere dedicated to audio.

[fair gull]

also quite specific with the weight

and somehow i believe that will be hard with the fact its wireless and the battery prob already takes up most of the weight so do the drivers

[digital cliff]

yeah sounds like a list of requiremens where you end up with one or two products anyway

[chrome lava]

havnet found one yet

only bluetooth wireless

there are plenty

[fair gull]

you know BT is 2.4ghz right?

[chrome lava]

srsly?

[thick elk]

that would be the autistic answer yes

[fair gull]

BT literally uses the 2.4ghz band

[chrome lava]

🤔

that makes it a lot easier

[umbral heron]

Wi-Fi too

[thick elk]

of course, but when people say 2.4ghz they mean dedicated 2.4ghz dongle for latency

[digital cliff]

what they meant I'm sure is RF 2.4ghz...

[fair gull]

yeah 2.4ghz is a pretty popular band due to range vs datarate

[thick elk]

bluetooth does have latency

[fair gull]

id say thats a BT implementation limitation not inherant to BT

[chrome lava]

thanks i thought there is a different between BT and 2.4ghz

[umbral heron]

There is

[chrome lava]

ok

[fair gull]

there is a difference to all the things that use 2.4GHz

[umbral heron]

There is 2.4 bluetooth, 2.4 wifi, and 2.4 RF proprietary dongles

You're looking for the last one

[chrome lava]

is a RF connection better than bluetooth for example?

eventhough both use 2.4ghz

or the other way around

[umbral heron]

Everything is better than Bluetooth honestly

But Bluetooth is compatible with pretty much everything

[chrome lava]

i just wanna be sure i have best latency when using wireless headphones

[fair gull]

the main issue is BT has a target sector of low power usage mainly so most implementations focus on that not exactly the data latency

[umbral heron]

For lowest latency - 2.4 RF

But it'd be hard to get to 300g mark

[fair gull]

the only (in my opinion) nice wireless headphones i used so far were astro a50s (which use 2.4ghz themselve) but those are above 300g

[umbral heron]

Audeze Maxwells are 490g

[fair gull]

also just liked they took SPDIF for a nice audio quality

but my GF uses those now

[chrome lava]

they are all slightly above 300. guess i will go with the cloud 3 then 🤷‍♂️

thanks for taking time everyone

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kiss-gif-21168766

[thick elk]

Why the 300g limit though?

[digital cliff]

he's standing on a platform that will collapse if even a gram over 💀

[chrome lava]

hate heavy headphones. rn i have 210g but is open end and it can get a little loud when my gf is having meetings

[fair gull]

easy fix kick her out

jk

[chrome lava]

uhm

[fair gull]

honestly think itll be hard though

might be better to look into IEMs with ANC

[chrome lava]

i hate IEMs i only like the apple airpods tbh

i didnt try 3rd gen yet

those rubberthings that go deep in your ear are nasty af

[thick elk]

fair enough, still going wired would open more options also.

[umbral heron]

I agree

Bluetooth-only headphones (not headsets) are around 250~300g, with 2.4 wireless it'll be hard

[thick elk]

I agree on iem's not being something to use all day. Use them during my daily commute and exercise.

[umbral heron]

I rock my M50xs with KA17 plugged in through the supermarket with 5 meters of cable around me

[fair gull]

also what can be loud your gf as in you hear her over whatever your headphones play or your gf hears your sound from the headphones

[thick elk]

I personally use a hifiman he400se connected to a qudelix 5k when gaming I plug it in over usb.

at work I use a senheisser hd598cs

[digital cliff]

well if you were to ask Dashi I'm sure she'd recommend the G733 again

they are

• under 300g
• "lightspeed wireless"

[fair gull]

i just use Shure SRH840s with a scarlet solo and a FetHead inbetween

[digital cliff]

seems to tick some boxes here

if you absolutely need a mic that can be removed then obviously no go

[old marlin]

low latency wireless and good audio quality has almost no correlation

not because it couldn't, it's just that nobody wants to actually make a decent product since half assing it is fine

[umbral heron]

I tried G733s, they awkwardly sit on head, don't really work for me

[fair gull]

i only ever heard reviews of the g733 saying the latency is rather high

[digital cliff]

guess they suck then

[thick elk]

honestly going bluetooth and just plugging it in on latency senitive use seems like an option I would gravitate towards in such a case.

[umbral heron]

Haven't tried how they sound, just tried them on in supermarket

[fair gull]

ok apparently the new revisions of the g733 are at 23ms latency and use custom 2.4ghz protocols

[digital cliff]

I tried some logi headset ages ago, g933 maybe or 903 or whatever, I'm sure they are all the same -- felt like shit, sounded terrible

wouldn't have em for free

[old marlin]

friend of mine loved his

idk why

[thick elk]

These endless discussions make me think wooting should get into making headphones, the community wanting them is already here.

[fair gull]

the only thing i absolutely loved about the Astro A50 i had was the removable cushins being magnetic

no weird fiddling of pulling them over a ring

[old marlin]

[digital cliff]

I don't think so, which demo do you appeal to? the latency crowd? they are using wired 'phones, and wooting doesn't seem to want to make wireless products to begin with

[lofty pivot]

i remember buying astro a50 just because it was what everyone in MLG halo used

[raw zephyr]

i was thinking of using modmic with my hd600, i currently use the at2020 for talking

anyone using modmic here?

[thick elk]

My comment was definitely very serious yes yes

[old marlin]

I used to use a modmic

[digital cliff]

well you delivered it exactly the same as you would any serious comment so no way to tell

[raw zephyr]

i had one of the first modmics, it sounded like shit

[fair gull]

i just switched to a mic on a boom arm cause... idc at this point and just want good audio

[old marlin]

but since I sometimes swap headset I don't wanna glue a new thing onto every headphone

now I just use an XLR mic

[fair gull]

same

[thick elk]

you should know me by now, and making a headphone definitely is a different game than making keyboards.

[umbral heron]

I have Snowball iCE screwed on some random mic arm

[old marlin]

I use an LCT 440 Pure which I got for free

[thick elk]

I have a neewer microphone random mic arm and some relatively simple audio interface.

[old marlin]

on a rode arm

cause fuck cheap arms

[digital cliff]

I used to have a boom arm thing but I can't use one with my table now so it's just gomic on the table now keeps the setup clean anyway as I can just throw the mic into a drawer when I don't use it

[thick elk]

I am on my second cheap arm if I were to replace it I would probably get somethign better.

[old marlin]

if I didn't get that I would have still used my xm8500

[old marlin]

used PSA1 was a good deal for me

[thick elk]

that being said I have not really used it in ages.

[fair gull]

i also just got a PSA1 with an XLR cable running through the aluminum bars and a Rode NT1000

[thick elk]

For as long as this arm works I will keep using it, but after that something decent with at least real swivel support instead of just not securing it all the way and turning it in a way that will damange it.

[steady sail]

i would just sell that

[ashen spindle]

smh lacking faith in reverse cramer

think the bot that trades the opposite of what he says is up like 50% now

[thick elk]

there is even a reverse cramer etf, over all it doesn't do too great though.

[crisp granite]

I mean
minor dip aside over the past few days

record year for tech sector
and on track to be much better
because the forward guidance is overall super strong

I'm just hoping NVidia delivering a strong earnings can get the sector out of the spiral

[cursive summit]

You, as they say, lack crucial information

[reef patrol]

Holy mother of tracking links

[steep creek]

lol

[thick elk]

it was not a tracking link it was parameters for the graph but stripped it

Nvidia prolly will fall?

GPU and H100 sales slowed down, imo

Invest into puts

What are these

65nm in 2025-2026? Is that like a proper proper 65nm?

[thick elk]

Older nodes are still used for other chips on a system.
For example MOSFETs may use that node.

[cursive summit]

So I might be understandng it wrong but the 65nm thing might not be computer chips

Tower seems to work with image sensors and such

So it's a 65nm image sensor?

[astral haven]

CIS is image sensors

[cursive summit]

Wait

Intel's X3D this year?

Prolly no product launches yet right?

[ashen spindle]

this is foundry not product launches

imessage is one of those services i use on a daily basis but almost never give any thought

this is nice though

[reef patrol]

Who has the secret keys?

[vagrant pagoda]

Ground breaking way to prevent anyone from making a iMessage bridge lol

[steep creek]

lol

here's the paper actually, dont know if the icloud data thing applies to pq3

I know it's kind of a political topic but also a tech topic

This shit's insane

[smoky frigate]

not a year goes by without someone announcing it and then it not happening

[reef patrol]

Because this worked so well for streaming companies.

Enter the age of true VPNs

[vagrant pagoda]

How do you verify?

[reef patrol]

Probably via some kind of state login.

Which just screams fun times.

[astral haven]

a few states tried this and make you give them your state id yea

[vagrant pagoda]

Cant all the kids just barrow one of their uncles lol

[astral haven]

yea but the bigger concern is your conservative government now has a register of users, and how well do governments ever secure those registers?

[unkempt lake]

I really hate the way canada is going

plz let us out

[cursive summit]

Yes, just join the U.S as part of Alaskan state

Or a new state but ehh.. you aren't worth that much

[fickle ore]

id move to canada before usa

[crisp granite]

mad respect but also good luck enforcing that

[unkempt lake]

Vpn go woosh

[reef patrol]

Real Brexit moment right there.

[astral haven]

when some of the US south did that, some vpn'd but the sites did in fact lose traffic

[unkempt lake]

Worth it

I don't want to live in america lite

[crisp granite]

sigh
I already outlined

[unkempt lake]

I don't care

[crisp granite]

the entire process
and you're aware that Quebec

would never

[unkempt lake]

It can

You're just pessimistic

I'm optimistic

[crisp granite]

y'all would sign onto the constitution you've been outright rejecting since the 80s?

[unkempt lake]

We'll see what happens

[astral haven]

qubec has some real serious problems, there is no shot they would survive as an independent nation

[unkempt lake]

I believe in an independent quebec

Call me crazy if you want

[astral haven]

its not crazy, its just uninformed

same is true for california and texas

and it sure as heck aint working in the uk lol

[unkempt lake]

I heard select us states do this lol

[unkempt lake]

We got plenty of natural ressources and literally have everything we need

The rest of the country is a clownshow

Quebec citizenship

Quebec independence would mean it being its own country

[reef patrol]

Imagine not having to make everything French, just because of Quebec elitism 😄

[unkempt lake]

Kkk

Your bad

I see how it is its like

How dare people want an independent nation

How dare a people has a right to self determination

[fickle ore]

quebec has 8 million people vs finland's 5 mil and we have a military

🙂

[reef patrol]

Go nuts I say. The UK got their way for better or worse.

[unkempt lake]

They were already a country they just left the EU

[reef patrol]

They left a greater cooperation.

[fickle ore]

lol what

[frozen ingot]

yeah no man, finns have the larger army

we rely on the finns to keep the russians out

[unkempt lake]

An independent quebec doesn't mean a quebec without cooperation with other nations

[frozen ingot]

[reef patrol]

That's a bold assumption.

Canada doesn't WANT Quebec to leave.

[frozen ingot]

we got a lot of military equipment in sweden but not that many troops

[unkempt lake]

Denying the will of the people is a risky gamble

If we vote to leave democratically and get denied the right to do so

[fickle ore]

hope u get in nato soon brotha

[unkempt lake]

I'd be upset and so would others

It would show that canada isn't a democracy

[reef patrol]

Okay... not what I was talking about at all.

[unkempt lake]

Them not wanting us to leave for economic reasons also opens the door to some partnerships

[frozen ingot]

thanks man, it is what it is, whatever happens I think we're pretty well set given we're surrounded by nato at this point anyway

draft is making a comeback here, it wasn't mandatory for quite a while

[fickle ore]

Yeah im happoy

never forget that sweden took a lot of finnish kids during WWI&II

[astral haven]

you have aluminum, copper, and wood, you are missing steel and plastics, and rely heavily on trade with the us for services
exporting 223B cad vs importing 234B cad
a net import econ is rough, especially when a significant portion of exports is cognitive services, all of which can vanish extremely quickly

[frozen ingot]

oh we did our fair share of dicking around back in the day

[unkempt lake]

Hydroelectricity

[astral haven]

and noone should want a pure democracy, a rule by all is a rule by noone

[astral haven]

how many billion cad did you make from hydro?

[fickle ore]

USA is trade deficit tho kekew

[astral haven]

yea, and the nanosecond that the usd stops being the de facto currency of trade, our economy vanishes

yup

we have an insane amount of momentum, and the military might to back up the free trade

[fickle ore]

Yea - atleast for now.. We will see what Trump on Nato does to that specific want/need

[fickle ore]

Fading power

[crisp granite]

the actual process of would open a Pandora's box of rewriting the legal fabric of the nation since we'd need to amend the constitution to actually allow leaving confederation
and it would require Quebec actually agreeing to the ground rules that they've never agreed to
since...the early 80s
so...

[astral haven]

citation needed, ive seen alot of arguments, and not a convincing one yet

[fickle ore]

But idk why would u want quebec to leave canada, as far as Im concerned canada is the place to be if ww3 erupts

Like one of the safest countries that exist

[astral haven]

nah, all of 5 eyes is gonezo

[crisp granite]

like
I just have no respect for the idea of quebec separatism
it's just so flawed and stupid that it would never work

Dashi also fails to recognise the other major aspect of that point of the SCC ruling
being that yes, Canada should honour Quebec's "right to separate"
but they also need to work with the rest of Canada to address any and all concerns arising from, which would lead to a battered Quebec getting independence if at all, as well as the rest of Canada on the verge of falling apart, or disintegrating with Quebec separatism made manifest

[fickle ore]

Fading in the sense of influence, not necessarily in quantitative strength. Seen in the Ukraine war and Israel war, Trump unraveling Nato, Israel & hamas thingy, Xi still plans on Taiwan etc

[astral haven]

what

it is in the us' best interests for the wars you list to continue, and taiwan hasnt happened yet, so we dont know what will happen

[unkempt lake]

@crisp granite can't predict how things will go

Yes we'd have to work with the rest of canada

But you don't have a crystal ball and neither do i

We'll see when we get there

[crisp granite]

I can make assumptions
and if the constitution needs to be rewritten granting concessions, which it does
concessions will be granted
it would need to be ratified by every province, as well as the federal government, and every legislature has something to gain

[fickle ore]

speculation

[astral haven]

speak for yourself

[fickle ore]

Thats why I said influence

[snow river]

Where is the INS key on Wooting 60HE? I know you have to hold FN but I don't know which key I have to click while holding it?

[crisp granite]

if anything
I could see this ending in political limbo
same as how quite a few countries in europe are 5 years away from adopting the euro, every year or something like that

there's no will, because there's no functional compromise

[astral haven]

thing is tho, why is taiwan important?

[fickle ore]

It's very important for stocks and econ and thats the bottom line for US govt lol, atleast until they deglobalize enough semis back home (i.e Intc)

[astral haven]

thing is tho, that is just capx

the actual IP is from the us

theres a reason that the us can tell asml who to sell to

the value of the silicon is in the products it makes, nearly all of which is US IP

[fickle ore]

Yeah, until Trump unravels Nato. The EU as a whole has been doing US's bidding because of safe guarantees

[astral haven]

nah

asml is reliant on US R&D

[steep creek]

Very

[steep creek]

Besides didn’t congress pass a bill to prevent this from happening?

[astral haven]

theres a reason that basically every major semi breakthrough of the last 10 years and the next 5 has already been demonstrated by IBM a minimum of 5 years before coming to market

[astral haven]

now sure if we kneecap ourself again we are kinda screwed, however the world has always had to deal with the US flipflopping on most issues every 8 years maximum, and as long as our influence isnt hurt too much by the flop, the next flip should bring us back on track like usual

[fickle ore]

Yeah I fully believe US will come around in case Trump gets elected and does what he's threatened, but at the same time hope there isn't full scale war in EU in the mean time

And its our continent we should defend it, not expect US to always bail us out

We're just ultra fucked because we and ukraine trusted someone else would fight our wars

[astral haven]

why?

[fickle ore]

bc too little production of war equipment and reliance on energy

Ukraine gave up on nukes on US's bidding look where they are now

[astral haven]

ah the energy reliance was your own fault

but how would nukes help ukraine?

[fickle ore]

If they had nukesw this war wouldn't have happened. Enough of a threat.

[astral haven]

israel has nukes and yet they cant handle a couple thousand terrorists...

and the threat is the seeming problem

[fickle ore]

1-2k terrorists vs 400k dead russians already on ukr ground

[astral haven]

yes?

[fickle ore]

just look at the map. Gaza is on their backyard vs distance of moscow - kiev

• existential threat

the point tho is theres nothing defensive about a nuke, it is purely offensive
and if you are going against another nuclear power, theres no point
if nukes were so useful, why are there twice as many dead Russians as Ukrainians?
russia has nukes...

[fickle ore]

dude russia wants ukraine, ukraine doesnt want russia

[astral haven]

shocker

neither wants a pile of rubble

even worse if its irridated
