You know how Apple is all about "seamless interconnectivity"?
To pair the Apple Pencil 1 to the iPad, you NEED TO PLUG IT IN WITH A CABLE
oh yeah, sooooo seamless
cursive summit
You pair it once and never again?
wheat plume
but you also need to plug it in to charge it! hence the iPad on a Stick as I call it
cursive summit
Don't they charge it wirelessly
wheat plume
the Pen 2 does
astral haven
yea dont you pair it by sticking it in?
do you need a cable?
i do know apple makes their charging intentionally awful on their accessories ofc
wheat plume
to pair you need cable, but for charge you just directly plug it in
idk why or how it requires that difference
astral haven
steep creek
yes for the gen 1 nonsense pen you need to either stick it in or charge via cable
gen 2 is all wireless
wheat plume
yep xd
the Magic Mouse still sucks regardless cause its way too fucking flat, cant grip it while using the scroll gesture

cursive summit
These support LDAC, i thought that was Sony exclusive??
LDAC is in a lot of devices
lyric hatch
Rdna3 was first attempt at chiplet design on a gpu, think they ran into some early hiccups
ashen spindle
you can see that when looking at clocks in compute workloads and powerdraw as well as v/f curve, that isnt memory related
cursive summit
Feed it power and you don't get the expected results
ashen spindle
if it was chiplet that caused the issue, N33 being monolithic would have been killing everything around it lol
cursive summit
These support LDAC, i thought that was Sony exclusive??
Also, I think everyone are far better off moving to aptX adaptive
wheat plume
yeah for sure
cursive summit
Fuck AAC though
The thing is shit
Of course the standard Apple codec would be shit
Miles inferior to aptX
astral haven
this is the first ive seen not Sony
any android can transmit ldac, it is rare that we see anything receiving it outside of sony but it does happen
wheat plume
oohh
cursive summit
Praige to aptX 
astral haven
ldac is very nice but its very high bandwidth for the sound quality
def better than basic aptx but there are tiers of ldac, 330 really isnt that much better, where 990 is incredible
lyric hatch
Pretty sure the high idle power draw with multi monitor and video playback on rdna 3 is a result of the new chiplet design or at least amds current design for it
ashen spindle
nope that was mostly fixed driver issues
lyric hatch
Because the lower tier cards that don't use chiplets don't have the issue
ashen spindle
if you look at nvidia the higher tier cards also have proportionally higher idle power
for example one of the first fixed issues was the memory not clocking to idle clocks when having multi monitor setups
astral haven
if you look at nvidia the higher tier cards also have proportionally higher idle...
and it was worse on previous gens on top of that
for both nvidia and amd
lyric hatch
ashen spindle
yeah I know the numbers that doesnt change it's just not chiplet related

Damn, starting to realize after many years that my g903 just doesn't quite work and part I think is the position of the scroll / the amount of pressure it takes to click

im mostly curious about pricing differences due to less powerconsumption and package compatibility
ashen spindle
I doubt it uses less power
astral haven
i mean if its drastically slower, itll probably use less power
and for apps where you need privacy but not speed, thats a fine tradeoff
ashen spindle
lmfao sure but in that case you just dont take the latest gen
or a config thats lower clocked and thus achieves the same
astral haven
older stuff could be expensive since they want to replace it and it uses alot of power
ashen spindle
get a config that uses less cores or a sku with lower tdp and lower clocks
astral haven
sure but often the providers dont install that, they just install a bunch of the same standardized stuff in a few brackets

hey guys, is it possible to set a key to a side mouse button when remapping
You can do this in a very roundabout way depending on your mouse.
On my razer I set one of my keys to be numpad 1,then in wootility I set a key of my choice to numpad 1 . Boom Done. Just a random example, I don't actually do this.
old marlin
what
that just means you set both your mouse and keyboard to do the same input
not that you set your keyboard to actually input a keycode for a sidebutton
sweet cairn
that just means you set both your mouse and keyboard to do the same input
Well it depends on why they want to map it like that in the first place I suppose.
Like I said, I don't do this. If anything, I want more keys on my mouse.

Oh joy. Youtube shorts are finally unusable.
They've started injecting ads into the scrolling, but adblockers know this.
So every fifth or so time I go to a new short, it'll be like a 5 frame flashbang of noise and light before the adblocker kills it and scrolls to the next one.

Wait you didn't consider them unusable before?
With no audio or playback controls outside double speed

So e...
For me shorts glitch out and become unusable after clicking "don't recommend channel" like 50 times

Lol
cursive summit
It defaults to last short you didn't say no to, and if you scroll down it just serves you an ad, glitches out and brings you back to the previous short
Constantly
Basically just unusable
old marlin
cursive summit
And yes I've at this point clicked "Don't recommend channel" like thousands of times now just cause shorts have virtually zero personalization
It's just generic mind numbing trash

Realistically what's the point of PCIe nowadays if not for basically just SSDs
lyric hatch
Bros been at it a while suprised there's enough people out there that still take him seriously
cursive summit
GPUs don't make use of that PCIe bandwidth
ashen spindle
They do
cursive summit
Barely judging from performance gains
cursive summit
SSDs do but consumers don't need those speed increases
PCIe nowadays seems just primarily enterprise benefiting from new revisions
old marlin
HPC loves it
esp since they feed directly from the SSDs
would be somewhat useless without a bigger interface on both ends
old marlin
Well yeah nothing in there says consumer and it’s not consumer focused
for consumers the current interfaces are SUPER overkill
I would be surprised if we got tasks in 5-10 years for normal consumers where pcie gen 4 vs 5 matters
outside of like TB stuff
cursive summit
Is it logical to say that the fact that since PCIe is used by consumers as well, but the newest versions of it bring virtually no improvements to anything a typical PC user would do, it's a hardware design defect?
The hardware isn't designed the right way to make full use of the extra bandwidth
Or is it just completely normal
rough patrol
Games just dont keep up file size wise and honestly it‘s probably a good thing
Game sizes are already inflated af
And caching stuff on the video card is faster and less prone to other bottlenecks like slow disk etc
reef patrol
Surely pushing for faster standards, means more lanes for consumers on existing products? Meaning less need to split lanes for additional nvme and such?
ashen spindle
Maybe but that also costs more
cursive summit
Surely pushing for faster standards, means more lanes for consumers on existing ...
Yeah but that's only useful for power users?
Most peeps just need like PCIe 3.0 1-2 SSDs

And saying it’s a design defect is like saying 800GB/s Ethernet is a defect because your consumer cpu couldn’t write it that fast on a normal ssd

Facebook just keeps pushing weirder and weirder UI changes.
First they remove the feed sorted by date (or hiding it at least)
Then they change the Groups feed to only show sporadic "curated" content from each group
Then they make groups shift from post to post, like it's TikTok or YouTube Shorts, instead of a smooth scrolling down the feed.
And now they just completely removed Groups feeds, and turned it into a "here's a list of groups you might find cool" system. No content.

"bulkier size" wha... the one in their image is the same size as print only color led from brother... they are about the same or smaller than normal ink copiers

it should be noted that this bit is right under sub-headline of "Here’s what Google Gemini had to say when I asked it about Brother laser printers, which is not worth reading but which is by definition an incredible example of experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness because Google is synthesizing the entire web for this information, right? Isn’t that the whole idea of these LLMs, or are we just kind of fooling ourselves"
fair gull
my biggest gripe is that brother doesnt make laser printers
at least all ive seen from them is LED printers
analog sinew
pretty sure i have one
steep creek
same i think mines also laser
fair gull
i mean yes they are all called laser
but they dont use a laser like a laserprinter should
they use LED bars
laser copiers from xerox, kyocera and such use fancy mirrors and stuff to move a single laser beam accross the imaging drum
brother just uses a LED bar thats very close with tons of LEDs
saves spaces and price
steep creek
oh thats news to me
fair gull
id say brother lasers are quite good
although id personally prefer a kyocera or an OEM using kyocera parts/PCBs
and not just a black/white printer of theirs but full on copier
with a nice 3000 sheet A4 cassette or smth
🤤
analog sinew
its decent for the random stuff i print. it does have some streakyness now though, no idea why
fair gull
depends on which direction the streaks go
its either toner dust on the imaging drum and it doesnt get discharged/charged properly OR the coating of the drum is wearing out
which the wearing out is expected after like 30k-250k pages depending on manufacturer and the general printer expected lifespan
analog sinew
i think dust got into contact with the drum
i have no idea what the cartridge is at, it was used
no biggie tho
one day i'm gonna take it apart and clean it
one day...
fair gull
depending on model its easier or a bit more involved to print a status page of the drum life
if it has a display and menu button its usually somewhere under machine info or such
if it doesnt have a menu button or display you usually have to hold some button(s) for it to print the status
if its used your brother could even be one of those ancient ones with like 10k pages per drum
also dont forget to get a new waste toner container
and dispose of the old one properly
and no you definitely dont wanna just dump the contents somewhere
youll never get rid of anything not landing where you want it to cause it sticks to literally anything and everything
fair gull
reminds me of all those times a new coworker at my old job dropped em and spilled em throughout the entire workshop

having disassembled quite a few at my old job i can at least speak for kyocera and xerox of the last few years having real lasers inside
steep creek
ah I can’t remember now which brand my university has but I believe it was either hp or canon
fair gull
oh noe im sorry for you uni
fair gull
the ones id trust the most would prob be konica, sharp, kyocera and xerox in that order
steep creek
I will have to check the brand once I’m there but yes I am pretty sure it’s not one of those
fair gull
funny that the 3 top companies are japanese lol
steep creek
they make good products can’t deny that, ive had very good experiences with sharp but haven’t tried their printers
fair gull
konica is prob most well known in other circles but they make office copy machines as well
i think their main market printerwise is digital printing presses with things like the Konica PRESS C1070 and 1200

Wouldn't it also in theory be consuming less power?

Yeah yeah but my question is, if something is twice as fast, does it also run half as fast to achieve same performance
Cause then GRE would be more power efficient than my RX 5700

msi is shitty, the device is whacko and the market has plenty of offerings
i dont see why you would go for it
cursive summit
MSI is pretty shit
Don't buy the Claw, bad hardware
Deck remains the number one handheld
Valve should just stuff some RDNA 3.5 iGPU and Zen 4 into the Deck, FHD panel and call it Deck 2
wheat plume
Surprised you think the Linux powered handheld is the best one currently
cursive summit
Sigh
I'd much rather have Windows
But hardware wise it's by far the best
Refined and near perfect
wheat plume
True true
analog sinew
and the price is good too
wheat plume
Very good!
cursive summit
With the LCD model Valve was just lowballing
Now it seems a lot more.. proper
It just felt like Valve was selling an incredibly low margin product to just get you into the "ecosystem", so when they release their proper toys next, you'd feel compelled to pay the proper price
350$ is really damn low
Then again, Switch is about the same price, with none of the quality though
crimson wigeon

frozen ingot
its pretty well known that valve is selling the steam deck for basically no profit
ashen spindle
no that is pretty well known to be speculation
analog sinew
they cn afford to, hence why the others will never beat them in price
ashen spindle
there is the assumption and some parts would make sense but we do not know the margins on the deck
frozen ingot
no that is pretty well known to be speculation
knowing parts costs its not that much speculation needed
ashen spindle
we dont know their parts cost though
what you can get quoted for smaller batches is not what is paid at mass production
frozen ingot
I know
had an electronics business for a good 7 years, obviously nowhere close to corporate scale but still involves plenty economics of scale
ashen spindle
the only official comment we have is gabe saying the price was painful to hit
that could mean anything from decent loss to extremely low margin
also margins on oled deck are a lot better from the cheaper chips alone I imagine
cursive summit
Valve prolly made from breaking even to what, 20% profit margin or someshit on OLED?
Deck 1 was a statement, Deck OLED is the profit maker
If it's not memory overclocked, results mean nothing
Though I completely forgot 4070Super exists
Let's see... cheapest GRE locally 585, SUPER 681
wheat plume
they cn afford to, hence why the others will never beat them in price
Plus the upcharge for Windows too

ashen spindle
I mean they are working with microsoft, there doesnt have to be a windows upcharge
it could be low, hell ms could even be subsidizing it
cursive summit
It's funny how different things are in EU
"At just 50$ off, GRE doesn't make a compelling option over Nvidia"
It's more like 130$
NV seems to be priced fine in U.S, absolutely horribly in EU
ashen spindle
What? It’s like 30€ difference here
cursive summit
How
ashen spindle
570 for the cheapest gre 600 for the 70 super
lyric hatch
it's not avaiable here in NZ yet 👀
ashen spindle
Probably isn’t going to be at this point
cursive summit
Locally it's 557 for a three fan Sapphire GRE, and 600 for double fan SUPER
Which isn't even "local" cause the 600 SUPER is actually an outside the country seller who somehow always underbids local companies
Dunno why specifically here Nvidia GPUs are vastly more expensive unless you buy abroad
I still wouldn't buy Nvidia, too expensive, waiting for Blackwell/RDNA4
lyric hatch
AMD prices are pretty similar to Nvidia in NZ
cursive summit
I am extremely not picky when it comes to graphics, I like old looking stuff like Oblivion/Morrowind and I like bugs, glitches, visual artifacts, as long as they are just minor
So I wonder how much I would use the AFMF thingy

Hi guys this might seem dumb but I just ordered my wooting 60 he in the iso layout and it seems I have to put my own keycaps on and I just was wondering that all I have to do it push them on gently in the right position.
cursive summit
You have to put on your own keycaps?
sturdy fog
I believe for the iso layout
cursive summit
Did you buy the prebuilt keyboard, or the module
analog sinew
iso comes without keycaps on yes
cursive summit
analog sinew
you just press them down

Ok thank you @analog sinew
@cursive summit inside of that when you choose your keyboard layout it shows up

since iso covers multiple languages they arrive separately
only ansi is preinstalled

As far as I'm seeing 60HE is prebuilt even with ISO

It takes like maybe 2 minutes at most

cursive summit
Those keycaps are really easy to put on
sturdy fog
Good to know I was slightly worried for a second
cursive summit
They kinda find their own way
steep creek
in the quickstart theres a picture of the layouts if you dont know where caps go and such
cursive summit
Only problem I have is that they take like 10% of the effort to put them in over taking em out
They are actually just really glued in there once they are in
A lot more force to pull em out
sturdy fog
well as long as it’s easy to get them in that perfect for me
cursive summit
Yeah to push them in is kinda akin to.. clicking the side button on your phone?
Very little force
To pull them out though 
sturdy fog
😄
cursive summit
Oh yeah just the obvious cautionary reminder
When you are putting on keycaps, or messing with switches, position them the right way
Don't do it sideways or at oblique angles so you somehow don't snap the switch stem off
I mess with my keycaps quite a bit and I hadn't managed to do it in years, but it is reported that you can just snap the stems with haphazard application

Cause Kepler is on anandtech forums saying that AMD was planning a large iGPU with 16CUs RDNA 3.5

Severely doubt those work in a Wooting
