[fickle ore]

Then again its their probably only chance of leapfrogging TSMC now

Since TSMC is playing safe and refraining from 1st gen

[ashen spindle]

they arent even aiming for that

there is a reason they know they are aiming for #2 foundry not #1

[fickle ore]

Wasn't that #revenue not performance?

[ashen spindle]

sure but thats tied to each other

[fickle ore]

mm

fken nvidia at 10.5 x intel size

[wheat plume]

Worse take on the iPhone 15 I've ever seen

[final flame]

cope and seeth child

[marsh pewter]

just ask someone with an android

[final flame]

you think they're smart enough to know?

[marsh pewter]

it’s pretty telling what kinda person they are if they even have an iPhone 15, bet their parents get them the newest model every year

[marsh pewter]

true

also why tf are you borrowing chargers? just bring your own and don’t forget it, on top of that it’s pretty rare you don’t find a USBC cable wherever you go.

[steep creek]

Happens sometimes, friend forgets the charger and borrows mine or vice versa

[fickle ore]

I always wondered who the hell buys newest model apple but theyre the biggest company on earth so I guess lots

[marsh pewter]

11 - 14 were all the same

[final flame]

15 is also the same

for the most part

[marsh pewter]

nah i’d say it has enough meaningful differences

[final flame]

you got titanium and usb C

[fickle ore]

my friend even thinks buying used older gen apple for 700$ is good deal bc apparently other phone makers make slow phones ☠️

[wheat plume]

How older?

[marsh pewter]

new chip is insane and better cameras are always a plus

they're similar, but the 15 fs has many more changes than the gens mentioned

im not sure what exactly you count as different or the same

[wheat plume]

New chip is only in the pro max model though

[marsh pewter]

fr?

then yeah they pretty much are the same

[steep creek]

No it’s in the small pro too

But in my opinion most phones have such small incremental upgrades, doesn’t seem all that exciting upgrading yearly lol

[final flame]

so it's in a phone that has a price tag that nobody should pay

most people who are buying these phones don't need that much power anyways, at most they're watching youtube
the only reason why they get them is because it's a financial flex for them

[unkempt lake]

[shrewd cipher]

Yep.. Android is a slow poor ppl phone for a lot of Apple users.. Ppl even refuse to talk to you, if you dont have one and i couldnt be more happy about that, cuz shitty characters sorting themselfes out is a good thing.

Hoi

Yee

Pathetic

[raw zephyr]

phone discussion is just like os discussion

different people different taste

[unkempt lake]

Never met anyone IRL who's ever said that

Only ever seen those arguments on like reddit

[steep creek]

I don’t see people arguing about what phone operating system is better, irl to begin with lol

[unkempt lake]

Like have you had anyone ever tell you this in person the only thing i could think of would be like an insecure teenager

Why judge them at all

Why do you even remotely care what someone uses

By judging them even silently it just shows you're insecure

I think it says more about you tbh

[raw zephyr]

true

[unkempt lake]

I just think you're being insecure by judging people

Like it doesn't matter what someone uses as long as they're happy with their choices

Get off my tech chat horny teenagers

[steep creek]

[cursive summit]

SMT does need an upgrade

But if this ever reaches tech, it'll prolly be after 2030

[steep creek]

I wonder what the current cost is

Not sure if it’s viable for now

[shrewd cipher]

Actually i had one such encounter, was hella funny

[shrewd cipher]

I only start to care if their lag of security opens a backdoor into my security

[unkempt lake]

Wow lol

Was it some dumb teennager or like

A grown ass adult

There are some dumb ppl out there

[unkempt lake]

I always assumed it was redditors doing their creative writing assignment of the day

[shrewd cipher]

Probably someone who took a meme too seriously.. Like with the Apple Wave troll and so on..

I mean a phone is pretty low on the things I’ll notice when socializing with a person, to put it this way lol

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

[umbral heron]

Ah, they've added 1 in front of the score, rookie mistake

[shrewd cipher]

That thing must be alien tech to beat a none stoneage processor that got a own cooler and is plugged to the wall

Ohh.. Its a server CPU?!

[ashen spindle]

The big powerdraw is one thing not shown in geekbench results

[cursive summit]

They are doing the Intel method?

Slap power on it for results?

[ashen spindle]

They don’t have the hardware to make it efficient like tsmc nodes

Trumps braindead actions will make them produce better stuff in the long run but you aren’t going to figure out EUV in this decade from scratch

[cursive summit]

That is a new sentence

"Trump", "braindead", "will make them produce better stuff"

[ashen spindle]

No not new I’ve said this since the first sanctions

Cut them off so they invest trillions into making that stuff themselves and don’t need you at all anymore, genius move

[shrewd cipher]

Lets see if they are really capable of producing high end chips, that aren just a copy.. Or a tofu CPU

[unique breach]

Anyone know a great mouse pair for the wooting? Something more for FPS. And moment. So it needs to run smooth and fast.

[fair gull]

how about the OG IntelliMouse?

[umbral heron]

G Pro X Superlight and DAv3 Pro seem to be the most popular, also Viper V2
There's also Lamzu, Ninjutso, Pulsar... take your pick

[shrewd cipher]

I currently run the DAV3 8k (wired) and its pretty nice

[unique breach]

Think it will run better than my G502 X plus? Think I should swap?

[marsh pewter]

probably, that thing is a brick

[marsh pewter]

lamzu atlantis

[unique breach]

Let me check it out, one second.

[shrewd cipher]

It also heavily depends on hand size and prefered grip style

Its best to go to a hardware store, where u can test hold them

The G502 has an IPS of 400, while the DAV3 got 750, and lamzu atlantis has 650.
IPS is important for fast flicks; higher IPS = more accuracy

Now its just a question what you are capable of using

[shrewd cipher]

250 IPS, 2.500 DPI, 500Hz.. Jeez thats one old brick

If thats your current mouse, i can gift ya my old xm1 xD

[fair gull]

sorry but i only use mice with good shapes

[halcyon moss]

hey thats my joke

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean if you're playing 1.6

[shrewd cipher]

Personal preference, but the difference isnt big xD

[gusty kiln]

Viper V3 Pro has been leaked to exist

think I might finally upgrade my viper ultimate

[old marlin]

it is pretty big

if I could buy a mouse with modern day quality and specs with G1 shape I would pay a lot for it

[cursive summit]

Not too sure how they compete being in different ecosystems

[rough osprey]

yall like the shape or why the mod

[old marlin]

yea that is the whole point lol

I mean I daily my pure air right now (yes that name is stupid)

but that would prob be a high contender otherwise

[rough osprey]

zeromouse vs pure air

sharkoon is not that german

[frozen ingot]

apparently they thought just slapping some wood on the front of a case was what made north such a hit

they forgot to actually make it work with the rest of the design

[old marlin]

they forgot that a big part of the success is fractal having actual designers

that know wtf they are doing?

no way

Heh, there really is no space anymore for disk drives in modern cases

oh wait it's the Pop series case with the 5.25 at the bottom

[old marlin]

yea, he wanted 2 slots at a better position tho

you sure that was his? thought that would be the scammers email lol

[marsh glade]

Oh maybe

Didn't look that closely

[ashen spindle]

funnier is how he complains you need a login (that you dont) whereas you need one for twitter

yay more "meh" gpu options

[gusty kiln]

the memory config really gimped the GRE

[thick elk]

It moves the market a little bit, but definitely no big change in the landscape, just one extra optio.

[gusty kiln]

still a large perf gap between the GRE and 7900XT

[ashen spindle]

laerge price gap too

[gusty kiln]

true

but nothing from AMD occupies that gap

[ashen spindle]

nothing they really can put in there

[gusty kiln]

oh wow, people really be buying the ROG 4070 ti super for 949 huh

sold out at my microcenter

wish I could have gotten a ventus 3x 4070tisuper for cheaper

but I'm liking the slim

the backplate cutout is way bigger

heh if the original one is EOL I wonder if I will get the newer 240hz model one if I send in mine for oled burn in replacement

[gusty kiln]

27" 4K240/1080p480

[ashen spindle]

this one could be nice but will also need a 5090 to run lmfao

[vagrant pagoda]

same

i have 3x1 array of 4k miniled ips's

doing 140hz vrr

[astral haven]

multi screen vrr? brave man lol

[cursive summit]

Can't wait for microled

Miniled is pretty nuts

[vagrant pagoda]

it works good enough for games lol

hdr is a bigger issue

[velvet radish]

just bought the hd6xx for $200 on drop

worth?

[vagrant pagoda]

there is zero options for calibrating hdr between panesl

so i had to order my panels so the offaxis shift mostly compesates for it

[astral haven]

are they different panels/monitors or just poorly calibrated?

[vagrant pagoda]

miniled peak bightness isnt great on any panel to panel

[astral haven]

personal preference, if you like bass, maybe not, but mostly good

[astral haven]

wdym?

ooooh the ABL doesnt match between panels?

[vagrant pagoda]

yep

also idk anyone that dose hdr unifromity that well

like testing

[astral haven]

yea i dont have a good idea on how to fix that besides not having abl

and if you want hdr without abl, you need reference monitors lol

[final flame]

6xx mostly has midbass, not subbass

[vagrant pagoda]

its not the same as abl though

abl is just oled

but miniled dose the same bs in hdr

i have 3 27m2v's

they have one of the better irronicly

but its still not great

but idk if i could ever use a non dimming zone screen after maining a 4kled on my desktop

but 4k isnt great for large screens with text

think my triple is like a wide 45 inch?

its 46.6

i was close

[velvet radish]

is that bad

[final flame]

it's not bad, it's just different
most people think of bass as midbass anyways so yea

midbass is mostly punch and impact
while subbass is mostly that low rumble

6xx is probably the highest performing headphone for it's price so yea it's a good purchase

[astral haven]

my miniled screen has ABL

[vagrant pagoda]

why, dose it overheat?

oled has abl for burnin

[astral haven]

and power usage

[vagrant pagoda]

no option for it?

[astral haven]

there are oleds without abl, they just need cooling

[vagrant pagoda]

mine has an option for disabling auto brightness on mine

its just a eco enable/disable

[astral haven]

Mine can, but only by limiting the peak

[vagrant pagoda]

lmao

no name monitor win then?

[astral haven]

My parents oled has the same thing

[astral haven]

What

[vagrant pagoda]

innocn is basicly no name brand in the states

[astral haven]

Your monitor has true hdr brightness (600+) and no abl?

[vagrant pagoda]

and i can disable all abl

yeah hdr1000

1k miniled dimming zones

[astral haven]

That is very surprising

[vagrant pagoda]

it will heat throttle though

[astral haven]

My monitor does 2200 nit peak, 350 without abl
Oled does 1200 peak 250? Without abl

[vagrant pagoda]

if you leave it hdr white

[astral haven]

Mine is power limited

140w brick, does 120w full screen white 300ish nits

[vagrant pagoda]

this dose 1k systained

[astral haven]

What is the brick rated for

[karmic jolt]

Guys, what do you think about this one? https://lamzu.com/products/lamzu-thorn-gaming-mouse

[astral haven]

And reviews?

[vagrant pagoda]

it has PD

so birck isnt accruate

[astral haven]

Sure but I doubt it's the necessary 400w

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/innocn/27m2v

they measued abl so they had it enabled i guess

[astral haven]

Not bad!
Automatic Brightness Limiting (ABL)
0.038

[vagrant pagoda]

and thats enabled

lol

you can disable it

i talked with their support

and they gave me a list of settings to basicly disable all the auto shit in each screen to make them match better

and its amazing

[astral haven]

Sure but there's this thing called physics

[vagrant pagoda]

you need sunglasses if you get a full white screen in hdr

[astral haven]

Yes?

[wheat plume]

any Mac nerds know what causes this to happen????

[steep creek]

i encountered this, just ignored it no problem

[wheat plume]

🤔

[steep creek]

if im remembering right though lol

[cursive summit]

Ah InnoCN, another factory resell

[astral haven]

I just don't believe it would do more than the abl with abl off
800w is still very impressive

[cursive summit]

Great great great, phenomenal value

[final flame]

yea that thing tends to pop up on mac

just close it

[wheat plume]

how often does it appear???

wat

[astral haven]

Yea you can just ignore it it defaults to your region

[vagrant pagoda]

they are the factory

[final flame]

anytime a unknown keyboard device get's plugged in afaik

[wheat plume]

o

[final flame]

similar thing with mice iirc

[astral haven]

I don't remember seeing it

[vagrant pagoda]

innocn is the odm for loads of monitors

[astral haven]

I don't think that's true for any of the major brands

[vagrant pagoda]

acer

[cursive summit]

What's an odm

[vagrant pagoda]

they make most of acer's displays

[astral haven]

None of the predators are innocn

[vagrant pagoda]

original device manufacture

[cursive summit]

Well yeah just like Koorui does

Both Inno and Koorui are manufacturers that make panels for other companies

But for whatever reason sell, I suppose factory QC rejects, through their own brands

[vagrant pagoda]

they dont make panels

[cursive summit]

Pretty sure they do

[vagrant pagoda]

and they have the same grade panels as the other brands

the 27m2v actually tested better than the viewsonic and lenovo versions

[cursive summit]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/26/24083511/apple-eu-investigation-web-app-support

I love EU shitting on Apple, new favourite rivalry

[vagrant pagoda]

only loosing to the original design spec for the panel, the proart.

but the proart is 60hz

[wheat plume]

Why are Apple suddenly dropping one of their biggest features they announced way back for the ORIGINAL iPhone????

[astral haven]

Because screw app devs

[wheat plume]

Steve Jobs legit spent a lot of time talking about web apps in the iPhone 1 presentation

like bruh

[cursive summit]

https://www.innocnmonitor.com/whyus.html

[vagrant pagoda]

so while it technically a reject panel, its a reject pro screen

[wheat plume]

Cook doing him dirty 😢

[cursive summit]

Hm, I remember reading InnoCN made their own panels

Seems they just assemble displays

Koorui though definitely does their own panels

[ashen spindle]

as if steve jobs would not do the same lmfao

[vagrant pagoda]

there are like 10 monitor panel manufactures

its like chip fabs

very few actual high end display lines

[thick elk]

Just because something seemed like a good idea at the start of the smartphone era doesn't mean it still makes business sense.

[cursive summit]

HKC, who own Koorui, are one of the very few that do minileds nowadays

[vagrant pagoda]

pretty sure only samsung and tcl make qd

and tcl is the only one making small qd lcds

[cursive summit]

Who's doing microled

[vagrant pagoda]

loads

microled is just backlight

unless you mean a self emissive microled

then there is 1

for small

[cursive summit]

Yes..yes it does

[vagrant pagoda]

though there is no product

[misty saffron]

what’s missing is one more screenshot of a linux skin

[vagrant pagoda]

tcl offers transparanet miniled

[frozen ingot]

still an hour and half left on the day here

[cursive summit]

For the Irish I think it'd be 2.5 hours left

[vagrant pagoda]

apple is working on microled for watchs

but who knows if that will happen

[frozen ingot]

plenty of time for linuxposting

[sharp badger]

26mins~ here 😴

[vagrant pagoda]

but yeah

[cursive summit]

There's a crap ton of display technologies rn

[vagrant pagoda]

considering of the two small display qs manufactures

one is korean and one is chinese

[cursive summit]

Actually, is there a display tech that moves beyond pixels?

[vagrant pagoda]

its easy to guess where the panel comes from

[frozen ingot]

cathode ray tube

[vagrant pagoda]

lines>pixels XD

[wheat plume]

pathetic heatsink but very cool shape

[cursive summit]

Idk, I had a thought that it'd be possible to manufacture something that doesn't have pixels and displays data directly as input

[vagrant pagoda]

the pixel is the data

[cursive summit]

Without the pixels

[vagrant pagoda]

the data on your computer gets rasterized as pixels

[frozen ingot]

well the computer is sending pixel data to your monitor

[vagrant pagoda]

you mean like a vector display?

that uses lines

[astral haven]

Multibeam vector displays

[valid sonnet]

https://www.clickspeedtester.com/keyboard-latency-test/ How many MS do you guys get on a Wooting?

[ashen spindle]

those tests are flawed for various reasons

but you can get the advertised 1ms or lower

[cursive summit]

Well the thought I had was something like a magnet with ferrofluids, the more magnet force the more fluid reacts, I was thinking a similar concept for a display tech

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah web based anything for latency is a joke

modern browsers are way way to bloated

[cursive summit]

Depending on data input/electrical stimulation the display would shape itself to the data, no pixels, just a raw organic output

[vagrant pagoda]

still uses pixels

[valid sonnet]

Yeah I know. But just as a pointer. My 8 year old kb gets 60 ms.

[vagrant pagoda]

your eyes are still basicly pixels

[ashen spindle]

you can get 1ms with wooting there

[smoky frigate]

for what it's worth (probably not much)

[valid sonnet]

:D

[frozen ingot]

key press length doesn't even say much

it just says how long you held the key

not how quick it responded to the first input

[ashen spindle]

but you get the time from it receriving the key to it stopping which isnt the same as the scan rate necessarily

[smoky frigate]

I'll linuxpost then: wayland with vrr is pretty epic. it just works, as it was always supposed to. using a patched gnome rn, but they'll put it in next release. woohoo.

[cursive summit]

Ew, linux

[thick elk]

Yes one of the main reasons I loved being able to switch to wayland. That and mixed refresh rates in general are pretty shitty on x11.

On Plasma vrr has just worked for quite some time on wayland.

[smoky frigate]

it kinda worked with the nvidia driver, but with a couple of asterisks attached, turns out they did well making it work on wayland. bravo. maybe their focus is finally shifting

[cursive summit]

https://interestingengineering.com/news/strongest-metamaterial-3d-printed-australi

[thick elk]

All signs are clear towards Wayland being the future, Nvidia is also waking up to that. I personally switched to AMD which I definitely do not regret.

[cursive summit]

Titanium with its insane melting point is 3d printable? Cool

[thick elk]

Overclocking / fan control doesn't work on wayland with nvidia still for stupid reasons.

[vagrant pagoda]

it was one of the first 3d printed materials

that and SS

DLMS is big money

[thick elk]

Powder + laser approach doesn't care too much about melting point.

[smoky frigate]

maybe the discussion should shift from "wayland" to "X and Y compositor", since the quality varies greatly. I see mpv also stopped its nonsense and just works with gnome now. shit's finally working out, mutter was awful to use on wayland only 2 years ago, everything was broken

[vagrant pagoda]

sure with modern pusle lasers

but back in the day it was pretty hard

[thick elk]

Gnome is quite the stick in the mud in that regard at times.

[vagrant pagoda]

belive sls was right after fdm

[smoky frigate]

they need to do it their own way all the time yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

and before sla

[astral haven]

i believe sls was first?

the first 3d printer i saw at an engineering conference 20? years ago was sls plastic

[vagrant pagoda]

first was from hot inject printers

while trying to make inkjet as durable as laser, they made hot plastic inkjets

then some guys decided to add a zaxis

stratus with sls was super early too

[astral haven]

the first fdm was 1992

SLS1 was 1988

the first sls printer was on the market when the patent for the first fdm was filed

[vagrant pagoda]

fdm patent is like 87 i think

maybe even 86

[astral haven]

filed in 88 granted in 92

https://all3dp.com/2/history-of-3d-printing-when-was-3d-printing-invented/.

i remember extrusion being extremely rare for quite a few years at the begining of real mass production

early 00's

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

[astral haven]

around here somewhere i have a print from one of the first dual material printers, which was SLA

[vagrant pagoda]

fdm benfit is budget lol

[astral haven]

def

[vagrant pagoda]

so sls and sinter are king in industry

[astral haven]

the machine had a 6 digit msrp definetly, probably upper half

20 years is a looooong time for this tech

[vagrant pagoda]

crazy that sinter is 5 figure

[astral haven]

i just had a dumb idea
imagine if someone was dumb enough to try aluminum or iron for SLA

[vagrant pagoda]

lmao

fire is very exiciting

[ashen spindle]

can't believe biden just went and literally said it's joever for c/c++

[astral haven]

i dont think thats what that means

[ashen spindle]

no but it's very funny to think he walked out and said those words

[astral haven]

I'm on librewolf, don't know what browsers yall are using

[final flame]

o/

[steep creek]

i just got access to arc for windows but its missing some features, just waiting for them to come then ill probably swap over to that full time

for now its a mixture of edge and brave lol

[misty saffron]

librewhat

[vagrant pagoda]

its a firefox fork

[steep creek]

more focus on privacy afaik

[hasty thunder]

there's not a single browser that's truly securing your privacy

even the Tor Browser isn't bulletproof

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah there is

they just dont work on modern pages

[astral haven]

wget+notepad++

[vagrant pagoda]

telnet XD

[astral haven]

does telnet support https?

[vagrant pagoda]

no

but you can do http

telnet google.com 80

[astral haven]

yea but thats not amazingly secure

[woven laurel]

im more a fan of 443

[vagrant pagoda]

GET /index.html HTTP/1.0

[vagrant pagoda]

wget wont do sessions or anything

so what are you going to do thats secure lol

[astral haven]

very secure ✅

cant track if i dont have any session

[vagrant pagoda]

cant login either XD

[astral haven]

login is just a fancy tracking mechanism

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

[astral haven]

end /s

but for real this is how many of the security and privacy arguments sound to me

[vagrant pagoda]

best is to find your nearest iot thing

hack it

and use it for vpn

then once you have about 1000 of them

have it randomly swap your connection

[astral haven]

heres an idea, have it select a different one per browser tab!

and whenever it detects you change domains, it swaps

[wheat plume]

is it possible to install linux-zen kernel on Fedora? It seems its only packaged for Ubuntu and Arch

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean

you can compile anything you want

[wheat plume]

true.... idk how but LOL

[vagrant pagoda]

why do you want fedora lol

[wheat plume]

want? Nah...Im using it xd

but i was thinking would it be possible to compile my own kernel and remove all the drivers and things for shit I dont need??

[ashen spindle]

sure

Audio and video may intermittently become out of sync while recording using the AV1 codec in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. [Resolution targeted for Q3]

It's like a year old bug, and I'm pretty sure they delayed it from Q2

Weird, what's taking so long

[misty saffron]

now you’ve fully done your daily lanaposting plan

[final flame]

connection to the internet in itself is a breach of privacy
realistically you have to weigh how much you prefer privacy compared to accessibility and ease of use

OS's such as qubes may offer high privacy, especially once fortified, but they're clunky to use for the average person, it's a tradeoff of convinience and privacy

[wheat plume]

Qubes is pretty freaking cool in the concept behind it

Separate and isolate everyone into groups or individual apps

[ruby ingot]

Are the two HE focus mode able to be selected on specific keys of my choice? If so what’s the limit?

[vague needle]

Are you talking about tachyon with low latency areas?

It’s pretty self explanatory, choose a zone to get lowest possible latency and the other zones get slightly lower priority and therefore a couple extra ms latency

And the zones are no customizable, they correspond to actual hardware on the pcb

[umbral root]

[carmine sky]

does the keyboard has the same tech as a trigger of a controller? for example if I wanna race, can I turn just a little but and progressive accelerate like if I was playing with a ps4 controller?

[cursive summit]

Yes

Wooting has analog functionality

[carmine sky]

with this keyboard? Wooting Two HE

https://wooting.io/wooting-two-he#w-tabs-0-data-w-pane-5

[cursive summit]

That was what the brand was originally about

[cursive summit]

Though this is relatively old panel tech, I think, it's still cool

I don't see where it would find its uses

Prolly more in commerce/retail than consumer spaces

[carmine sky]

thank you for your answer btw

it helps a lot

[cursive summit]

Ah yeah analog

https://help.wooting.io/article/100-how-to-change-your-keyboard-gamepad-mode

Plenty of articles on wooting's web how to set it up

But, clarification

If the game doesn't support double input, analog won't work well

Games like Rainbow 6 Siege or whatever, it doesn't work

[carmine sky]

hmm that means that for example I can make the key "W" to be the same as "r2" in a ps4 contrller right?

[cursive summit]

CS:GO it does work

[cursive summit]

It works just like a controller trigger does

[carmine sky]

by default?

[cursive summit]

If set up

By default keyboard is just a keyboard, you have to set up analog

[umbral heron]

Racing profile has it by default

[reef patrol]

Still have to enable gamepad mode though.

[carmine sky]

[cursive summit]

Prolly a new thing, Wooting One didn't have premade profiles

[reef patrol]

Pretty sure it did.

[cursive summit]

Hm, don't have them here

Wait, the unnamed ones?

[pale sigil]

Wooting One did have pre named profiles.

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/morpheus-believe-neo-beginning-to-believe-gif-5399492

[cursive summit]

Not mine

[pale sigil]

Digital and analog 1-3

[cursive summit]

Well yes but where's "racing profile"

[pale sigil]

Oh you mean that

[cursive summit]

I'm guessing it's a later wootility thing

Mine's like 2020 version

[reef patrol]

Profiles were changed and renamed several times across the years. We also defaulted to gamepad mode off more recently, since it was confusing newer customers.

[carmine sky]

hmm

[pale sigil]

Well ye but ARM boards have different names in general.

[fair gull]

the avrs also do if they were newer purchases

[wheat plume]

Arch used to be easy??

[crimson wigeon]

Yes as I said many times before many years ago there was a simple TUI installer

[wheat plume]

ooo

its back to TUI LOL

[crimson wigeon]

https://youtu.be/KU1JO5801CY?t=80 first result of a quick search, we have indeed come full circle

[wheat plume]

omfh

[balmy vector]

Peace has been achieved

[wheat plume]

the debian installer still looks like this XD

and the raspberry pi config tool

[crimson wigeon]

Yes it's basically just complex scripts using dialog for the interface

[wheat plume]

I love how SSDs didnt exist back then so they could say hard drive instead of disk or whatever

[halcyon moss]

Dialog is awesome 🙂 the gtk variants of them Are as well

[wheat plume]

lol got to love the baby crying in the background of this video XD

the new archinstall would look amazing on OLED display

maybe I will install arch to my external drive and use it on the Deck when its docked

[halcyon moss]

You probably wont

[wheat plume]

huh?

I could, though the external drive is a slow ass HDD ;-;

portable SSDs are way too expensive in Ireland

[halcyon moss]

You probably won't use it

[wheat plume]

I would use it

SteamOS desktop experience sucks cause its immutable

and there is no overlay system like what Fedora or Nix has

[balmy vector]

Hmmmmmm

[wheat plume]

it would!

its got a solid black background xd

[balmy vector]

Now i must try this

Eventually

[wheat plume]

thats normal

that resolution options appear and disappear at random?

[ashen spindle]

refresh rates not resolutions

🤦‍♀️ yeah im tired

thats what I meant

[cursive summit]

This foundry is peculiar

Also, 2 Ireland foundries? Go work at Intel @wheat plume

[wheat plume]

there window management features are pretty unique too

[cursive summit]

Close it down!

Burn it down!

[wheat plume]

System76 COSMIC is copying a few of the features LOL

[halcyon moss]

Why lol

I hope cosmic is good

[smoky frigate]

I guess more choice doesn't hurt but I've never been unhappy with their bastardization of gnome

why go through all that effort, I don't understand, but maybe it'll be good

[wheat plume]

COSMIC is an entirely different UI to GNOME

well, there is still the headerbar concept but COSMIC puts the menubar inside of it unlike GNOME

so you have the window control buttons + Menu bar + app specific buttons too on the same bar

;-; just want a damn fingerprint scanner on my laptop

entering my password for everything is annoying

[smoky frigate]

oh so it's more like fapple OS?

[wheat plume]

yesnt

its like macOS and GNOME had some fucked up baby

Super key is bound to an app pallete by default in COSMIC, kinda like Krunner or GNOME Overview Search

[smoky frigate]

hmmm hope it works out for them, the linux desktop market is saturated as it is (for the tiny userbase who use it on their personal computers anyway...)

[wheat plume]

yeah ....

I wish people stopped making distros and desktops and all focused on the main major ones like GNOME, Plasma and Cinnamon

its a freaking JS Library situation .-.

[smoky frigate]

I can see it happening once running stuff like flatpak becomes the norm

[wheat plume]

COSMIC app launcher

[smoky frigate]

but that's like 10-15 years into the future

[halcyon moss]

Ug I hate that. My pc is not a netbook

[wheat plume]

yeah, flatpaks for sure are gonna replace native packages for the most part

ofc, I dont think critical packages that make the system work should be flatpak....despite Canonical thinking so for their precious snaps

they want to make GNOME desktop itself a snap package :/

[halcyon moss]

I see gnome desktop stuff in my flatpak update list

[smoky frigate]

yeah no that's probably bad. its best use would be to reduce work overhead. I don't see distro packages going away either, since there's stuff like debian around who only run ancient kernels and are obsessed with security

[wheat plume]

Yeh
Cause a lot of Flatpak apps use gnome core packages

Especially ones themed for gtk4 or libadwaita

[smoky frigate]

I tend to use distro packages for the most part still

but I am also old and WRONG

[halcyon moss]

Same

[wheat plume]

Same
I go native > Flatpak

[halcyon moss]

Fuck flatpak for the mundane or deeply integrated stuff

[wheat plume]

But I don't mind Flatpak or AppImage either

[halcyon moss]

That shit doesnt work welll

[wheat plume]

Yeh that

I'd never want to use something like gparted via Flatpak ......
😅

[smoky frigate]

I like appimage especially, it's just like an exe, I download and run it

[wheat plume]

Doesn't seem reliable enough to me

.....canonical also wanna make sudo and bash be installed via snap on future versions of Ubuntu

.-. please no

Those are critical apps

[halcyon moss]

Source?

[smoky frigate]

to tell you the truth I never really "got" packaging every app for every distro, if appimage existed when people switched from windows 8 because it was shit, the ability to download and run an app would have helped adoption

or dog forbid, vista even

[wheat plume]

AppImages are really underrated

Imagine SteamOS desktop with something like rpm os-tree so you can install apps to the root system without disabling immutability

And would persist through system updates

[smoky frigate]

using linux is just too weird for the normal person still. but I also cherish it. if you make a product for the average boring person, you get shit that's engineered for the person with the lowest IQ, advertisements, data mining and paid features

using it now could be a sort of golden age that we don't know about yet, so I cherish it

[wheat plume]

All that can exist on Linux too though
VS code still has all it's usual telemetry
Teams still has it's ads and telemetry etc etc
Edge is on Linux xd

But it shouldn't exist

[smoky frigate]

yeah microshaft can fuck right off with that lel

[wheat plume]

Xd

They won't

I bet if they release a Linux distro , ignoring Mariner...., but for regular desktop usage
It would still have the same crap nagging and whatnot that windows had

[smoky frigate]

for sure. I used edge on linux for a while just to see how it behaves. it did well, but soon started dispensing the bullshit "for my security"

[wheat plume]

Strange experiment xd
It's chromium with a new UI
Ofc it works well on Linux xd

[smoky frigate]

I think it's just a question of time till they will. they make some bad products but their contributions to the open source world are a net positive

[wheat plume]

Is it?

Oh...that's cool!

[smoky frigate]

I mean, the code text editor for example is open source, there exist forks that cut out all the telemetry and proprietary bits

[wheat plume]

Windows also seems to be slowly getting less likely to overwrite grub bootloader upon updates too
Which is great

[smoky frigate]

I dual-booted windows and different flavors of linux from around 2006 - 2018... it took me that long to make the switch at last. the last couple versions of 10 were the final straw 😛

[wheat plume]

If you found 10 bad....
The constant nagging, the constant pushing of their apps, pre installed shit like Facebook and TikTok and candy crush and the really crappy user experience of changing your default browser to Chrome is worse than 10

Unless Google found a way to make it a one click swap like Firefox has... Then yeah its a major pain in the ass to swap from edge to chrome

Got to change the default browser for each type of link and file type individually
And each time you change one, windows pops up some message to remind you that edge is built for windows 11 and you shouldn't swap away

[smoky frigate]

hostage taker mentality lol

[wheat plume]

Microsoft need all the users they can get for QA
Since all the Windows QA teams got fired -.-

[smoky frigate]

better than when they tried it last time with the piece of shit formerly known as Internet Explorer, a titanic waste of time

[wheat plume]

Yeh ...xd

[smoky frigate]

but then the european union got involved, and could likely again

[wheat plume]

They are on a streak against Apple, could definitely go after Microsoft too lol

[wheat plume]

ugh, here we go again with another clone distro https://youtu.be/h6G_PoNfgdI

hmmm

settings look realistic to 11 too xd

35 dollars for a premium ISO ... LOL WWTF WHY

[astral haven]

wow its almost like people need money to survive

[cursive summit]

Prolly leaked online already

[wheat plume]

yeh but its a pointless distro with a windows 11 theme preapplied

[astral haven]

yea but it looks fantastic, and it runs exe's properly

[wheat plume]

fantastic
sure, if you like how a clone attempty of Windows 11 looks

but I personally dont like the look of 11 in general

[astral haven]

until you start opening things, it actually looks cohesive

which cant be said about any OOB distros

[wheat plume]

id argue anything using gnome desktop is cohesive out of the box....well, until you start using QT apps cause gnome does a horrible job of applying the theme to those :/

[astral haven]

talk distros not DEs

im aware that you can work to make things cohesive, popos is close, does it use gnome?

[wheat plume]

yep

for now, once COSMIC is stable enough, Pop is switching to it

im actually excited to give COSMIC a try tbh

its the only other desktop im interested in other than gnome and plasma these days

[pale sigil]

I mean if it works better out of the box vs say Ubuntu then that's good

[astral haven]

it probably doesnt, but if they are charging money they can do 2 things
1, pay devs
2, solicit feedback from confirmed users

[umbral heron]

Ah, Wubuntu

Runs exes just as regular Linux would, with Wine and stuff...

And it's free, you only have to pay $35 for their "customizer", which is a scam tbf

You can just as well download those themes to Plasma and apply them by yourself

[cursive summit]

[astral haven]

id like it more if it had some level of rgb led support, i really enjoy working in the dark

[wheat plume]

180 euro wtaf why is this so expensive? https://youtu.be/_8mCjO54Agw

its a phone stand that rotates to follow you using the new DockKit feature Apple made in iOS 17

[final flame]

It's a product designed for apple products that's why

[wheat plume]

and only works witj magsafe iPhones with iOS 17.2 :P

[final flame]

Exactly how you get products like this

[astral haven]

sometimes you gotta appreciate something robust

[final flame]

if it ain't all metal, I'm not spending all metal prices

[astral haven]

the most expensive cars minimize the amount of metal they have...

[final flame]

cars move

they kinda have to be lighter if they want to be fast

this is literally one of their marketing points

[astral haven]

im pretty sure the luxury brands also prioritize advanced composites

[crisp granite]

Back in the good ol days, they just threw in bigger engines and still built the cars like tanks

They don’t make em like they used to

[timber mantle]

Amen

[crisp granite]

I still want a second gen charger

not a 69 daytona though, I’d never actually drive it

did you read what they wrote?

[timber mantle]

I had an 06 and loved it.

[final flame]

the legs on the highest setting are delicate

[astral haven]

keep reading

[final flame]

I don't see what you want me to read

I've read the entire thing

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect near perfect performance from a stand that costs a premium price

[astral haven]

they say all the hinges are strong, sure could they have skipped the mini legs probably, but 1 they arent broken, and 2 they are still strong

[final flame]

the hinge in their words is stiff
and you have to be mindful when folding in the largest legs as the mechanism is different from the 2 smaller ones
and they state that the legs on the largest position is as delicate as the rest of it is robust

I don't see where you're pulling this interpretation from

[astral haven]

i pull it from the words that are on my screen?
just because something looks delicate doesnt mean it is
stiff means it is exerting excess force, if it were actually delicate, they would complain about the breaking rather than the mechanism being unintuitive

[final flame]

they don't say whether it looks "delicate" they simply state delicate
stiff to me simply means that there's extra resistance in the hinge
after making the claim that they're delicate they state that you have to be mindful when folding it which could be interpreted as easily broken

that's how I interpreted their words

not that it means much

[astral haven]

the other way to interpret the mindfulness is that it probably folds both directions, and can fold different directions on different sides

which would look dumb and cause the different sides to be different heights fully folded

like if you can find a review that says that broke? sure, but if its working fine, "delicate" means looks delicate

[final flame]

Found your review

[astral haven]

well there you go!

this is actual info that makes you right

were you not sorting by most critical on accident?

latency is one hell of a drug

[astral haven]

well whenever my vr headset lags, i feel like ive got a hangover almost instantly

[ashen spindle]

yeah I can already see people recommending 11900k over zen5/arrowlake because aida will show lower latency and they dont understand numbers lmao

and I tought audiophiles were bad

[astral haven]

to be fair, the grain of truth that comes from is 3000 and 5000 series being slower than the apparently slower intel parts from that gen, look up a few facts online and youll think chiplets are bad

[ashen spindle]

I mean the biggest issues is e-cores and certain braindead youtubers not realizing bad windows powerplan+ram oc issues will cause lags and it's not the cpus fault lol

[astral haven]

well it would be fixed by a different cpu...

and that wasnt an issue in 9k vs 5k

[ashen spindle]

it would also be fixed by not messing around with default settings that you don't know how they work xD

[astral haven]

oh god them

[ashen spindle]

ye it's something else

[astral haven]

the problem tho is there are 2 camps
camp "benchmarks are everything"
camp "the other camp isnt measuring the right thing"
and the problem is while the general sentiment has truth to it, it devolves into all benchmarks are bad

i legitimately thought that swapping 9900k to 5950x was going to make my computer faster in game, and it just didnt

[ashen spindle]

eh I find it rather be the case that there is a camp that knows how to read some benchmarks but doesn't understand technical stuff and doesn't bother asking actual experts and form their own wrong conclusions and that one I have issues with lol

[astral haven]

sure but again
this is a reality
there simply arent any good benchmarks

and this is a foundational issue
any benchmark should be stable
but the games that need performance the most arent consistent

[ashen spindle]

oh I am aware, mostly playing online multiplayer games atm and it's near impossible to get good data on that

cant get that stable or consistent

[astral haven]

yeppo, so you look up some sentiments on reddit or wherever, and happen to see a few of these sentiments, do 2 seconds of googling what makes them different, and youll draw the wrong conclusion

the problem is the logic is valid, it just is misinformed

[wheat plume]

I'm watching a review of the chuwi ubook X

But it also seems to support USB C charging, I hope anyway

Cause fuck barrel plug chargers.... No thanks

[unkempt lake]

Batrel plug in 2024 🤢

Wtf are they smoking

[halcyon moss]

It makes sense to keep an expensive port free

[crisp granite]

When you use the same chassis for half a decade or more, only updating internals…

For Switch 2?

Kinda nutty, SD cards with SSD speeds

[unkempt lake]

Steam deck?

[cursive summit]

Prolly not

[unkempt lake]

Then again i'll admit i have no idea what the max speed of the sd slot on that thing is

[cursive summit]

But it can take advantage of this tech

[cursive summit]

That's been tested actually

[unkempt lake]

But some games struggle on a standard not poopy sd card on the deck so

Maybe this can help?

[cursive summit]

Prolly somewhere 300-400mbps for current best card readers

[unkempt lake]

Nice

So could be worth it

[cursive summit]

So these would require a lot faster card readers to fully harness the speeds

Dunno if any exist rn

[unkempt lake]

I have a sandisk ultra 1tb in the deck

Same as i have in my switch

They work well but def slower than the nvme

And yes i know an ssd swap is always a possibility it's just convenient to be able to dump in an extra tb so easily

[cursive summit]

For handhelds I doubt you'd need an SSD if the SD card has NVMe speeds

[unkempt lake]

Thats what im thinking

[cursive summit]

But that all depends on the card reader, and no card reader supports 990MB/s speeds of that SD card

Most cap out 200 or so, rarely 300-400

Maybe there are some rare cases in cameras or whatever of actually fast card readers

[halcyon moss]

I'm more worried about reliability

[unkempt lake]

For backup purposes it could also be an idea

Like

The speed has its advantages

I had a 512gb card in my switch at first

I upgraded to 1tb cuz it was full

Took damn forever to copy everything over to my pc so i could put it on my new one

[cursive summit]

It's prolly fine?

[unkempt lake]

Rog ally sd card reader

[cursive summit]

Don't see why it wouldn't be fine

[unkempt lake]

🔥

[cursive summit]

V-NAND is reliable

[umbral heron]

It would be fine... as for SD standards
I would never use SDs as primary backup, they failed me too often

[unkempt lake]

Nas in redundancy raid

[umbral heron]

Absolutely no RAID in backups
Redundancy copy - great, no RAID though, your controller goes poof and data is gone

[unkempt lake]

Oh yeah not for the backup of the nas

Im just saying raid 1 good

Im tired

I need sleep

For once

@umbral heron night

[umbral heron]

Nite nite

[halcyon moss]

I'm more worried about reliability

[thick elk]

It would not be something I would trust for a backup that's for sure. Even more professional sd cards have a reputation for failing and losing recording.
I'd rather just use an enclosure around an ssd if I were to do back-ups in such a way.

[fair gull]

for 3ds

[cursive summit]

Sure, why not

[fair gull]

tbf 3ds cfw also requires moderately fast microsd cards due to loading everything from there

[umbral heron]

Luma needs moderately fast SD cards... as for 3DS period standards

[fair gull]

na luma can deal with the dumbest sd cards

emunand is what takes ages to load if the sd is slow

[umbral heron]

Ah, in case of emunand then yeah

[fair gull]

luma these days (just modded my gfs 2ds xl) seems to have fixed a lot of issue as i used some brand ive never heard of (that also bricked later) but it loaded as fast as my sandisk extreme in my own 3ds

[umbral heron]

For me it still sometimes crashes when I try to use LocaleSwitcher

Bigger problem I have is that I struggle to find some better quality 8/16GB SD cards for my DS, everything now is 64GB+

[fair gull]

get a microsd and then an adapter?

you can still get sandisk or samsung in 8/16

its how i modded my dsi cause easiest

[umbral heron]

Sorry, I meant microSD
All reputable brands I can find around here are just blatant clones
There's GoodRam, but their SDs are shit, they die after 3~4 months of regular use

[fair gull]

the only brand i know thats not a big name microsd manufaturer is verbatim

and having used those the only downside is you cant use them for a lot of writes

theyd prob be fine in a dsi though where its purely reads

[thick elk]

The problem with fast micro-sd's in a lot of devices is that they simply do not support the standards that allow for faster data transfers.
especially not running over pci-e like sd express cards can.

That being said there is still value in going with something a little faster than the slowest cards.

[umbral heron]

We should just all move towards UHS-2 standard, would be nice

[thick elk]

That would be nice, sadly the market is not there to bring down the price for that.

[reef patrol]

What do you need speed for anyway? Aren't these ancient handheld consoles? 😄

[thick elk]

The speed thing is out of context of the older handhelds

of course you don't need it for a 3ds

but if a steam deck or phone came with uhs-2/3 and cards that supported it would actually be affordable it would still be nice

[cursive summit]

To get high

If you catch the drift

[reef patrol]

Ahhh the Dekk

Surely you'd want your games on the SSD on the deck? The SD is more of a slow media solution?

[fair gull]

modern speed standards are definitely not supported or usable to their limits on old handhelds but the cheapest cards can still be too slow for cfw/homebrew purposes

[reef patrol]

REALLY? That's impressive.

[thick elk]

I personally do most games but as a buffer for vacations / for games that matter less it's still nice

as for my phone transfering media in bulk is always nice if it's faster.

[umbral heron]

I only noticed that games write longer to SD than SSD on Deck (well, duh)
But when playing there's practically no difference

[fair gull]

id imagine its mostly that whatever flash/controller they use is so cheap that QC sucks and its really really hit or miss

[thick elk]

I have a 512 GB Samsung Pro Plus and I do think getting something like that on the deck definitely seems better than using a slower card.

[wheat plume]

LOL
That isn't the fault of the SD card itself though :")

[thick elk]

Not in the case of the Rog Ally

[umbral heron]

Serve fresh out of the oven, while still hot and steamy

[wheat plume]

Hehehehe

[wheat plume]

Hmm?
The ally broke the cards
Not the other way around

[thick elk]

We were not talking about the other way around though.

Interesting

Higher power targets make GRE shine bright

I can only imagine what the GRE performs like with a heavy VRAM overclock to like 22gbps to match 7900XT and maybe a slight clock boost

80CUs should not be performing that weakly, it needs some tuning and I believe it can be like within 5% or so of 7900XT, hopefully with decent TGP too

[halcyon moss]

gre version is a confusing model

[ashen spindle]

You mean the heavy overclock that you can’t do because clocks are limited

The only reason gre exists(outside of being a china sku) that I can think of would be to fill that pricepoint so Nvidia doesn’t have a free ticket there

Or maybe more attempts to get stock moving before next gen

[cursive summit]

Partner models seem to have higher limits iirc

22gpbs VRAM OC should be easily stable and doable

Those VRAM chips on the GRE are same ones as on XT afaik, and are underclocked

[ashen spindle]

Max memory clock is 2316, it’s 2500 default for 7900xt and goes to like 2750 stable

Also you have lower bandwidth and smaller bus as you only have 4 MCDs on the gre

[cursive summit]

I guess there's a wait if anyone will make a modded bios with limiters removed

[ashen spindle]

Doubt it

You get the worst bins, still only 4/6 MCD and a slightly different GCD because is the mobile variant so you’re not reaching the xt anyway

[rose smelt]

hi im having issues with wootility where if i map a key to Mouse L it does nothing

is this a common thing

Hmm, what

Why would we want to move away from C and C++?

They work fine

[ashen spindle]

late news smh

[cursive summit]

Ah this was posted yesterday? Soz

[ashen spindle]

2 days ago I was memeing about biden saying it joever for c/c++ which isnt correct but was funny to imagine when I saw that press statement

[umbral heron]

Java and memory safety, I'm dying

[ashen spindle]

think thats this editor, dont remember java being mentioned in the original report

[thick elk]

To my understanding moving to Java seems pretty questionable, makes sense the original report didn't mention it explicity

[wheat plume]

I love zsh

[ashen spindle]

in fact java is mentioned but just for the log4j issue

[wheat plume]

I just got autosuggestions and syntax highlighting <3

:D

[raw zephyr]

bloat.

[wheat plume]

:P

[umbral heron]

Double git

[wheat plume]

oh oops

[raw zephyr]

this is all you need https://github.com/xaizone/dotfiles/blob/main/.bashrc

[wheat plume]

I also seperated all my aliases into their own file

just to clean up .zshrc

[wheat plume]

I need to do this someday... backup my dots to git

[umbral heron]

alias vim='nvim'
alias nano='nvim'

[wheat plume]

:')

[ashen spindle]

in fact I dont think the report mentioned any languages specifically but moreso was showing issues and that something needs to be changed but wasn't suggesting any specific language but rather that it makes sense for CTO and similar to look at these points

[wheat plume]

you want some handy yt-dlp aliases?

I stole them from ArcoLinux

[raw zephyr]

no i'm fine thanks, i'd never use those
