I was tempted. End his combo lmao

[zenith silo]

🤷

Maybe my ping will help his combo

[dark iris]

What do you think I did😂

https://hackaday.com/2024/03/21/why-x86-needs-to-die/

enjoy quin

[sweet cairn]

"Don’t get me wrong: I don’t hate x86 and I’m not saying it has to die today. But one thing is clear: The days of x86 are numbered."

No, get me wrong. I hate x86 and it has to die today.

[ashen spindle]

dont need to read the bs

https://chipsandcheese.com/2024/03/27/why-x86-doesnt-need-to-die/

someone much smarter than me already dismantled it

[steep creek]

lol was waiting for this article to get posted

[frozen mountain]

time has come https://fxtwitter.com/wlmouseofficial/status/1779474895241629976

[zenith silo]

Dang I just ordered a beastx mini

[frozen mountain]

the max is the large so if you want smaller you're fine

but the fabulous colourways are only for the new updated medium and the max

[zenith silo]

I have big hands so max would probably fit me better

But mini was the only one in stock + I like the lilac

I'll probably end up ftip/super aggro claw with it

[balmy vector]

Im personally getting the orange variant, the battery on this set should be much much better with its new firmware provider

[tropic arrow]

those new colors are sick, too bad its on the medium only and not the mini

[coarse brook]

I’m assuming the reason I have a “program files (x86)” folder is related to this

[sweet cairn]

Drives my ocd nuts 😂😭

[ashen spindle]

sorta, it puts 32 bit stuff in there and 64 bit goes into the one without brackets

[coarse brook]

oh

[analog sinew]

if you saw your cpu in half it becomes x43

this is considered a sacred ritual in jingoism

[steep creek]

lol

[fair gull]

i heard risc vs cisc talk but its already over

[analog sinew]

revive it

or head over into the general dumpster fire

[ashen spindle]

technically its now cisc vs cisc

arm isnt really risc anymore either

[fair gull]

didnt intel propose like

x64S or something

or x86S

[ashen spindle]

yes but thats not making it risc

[fair gull]

not sure how they labelled it

yeah not but it cuts out dumb 16 and 32bit support

[ashen spindle]

that just trims some things for really old shit

[fair gull]

well 32 bit not really only for like running 32bit directly as an os and 32bit drivers basically

(at least thats what i recall from their post about it)

[ashen spindle]

well more so that instead of it booting in 16 bit and goes up to 32 then 64 it just starts in 64bit

the instructions and all wouldnt really change

and some ring access changes

[fair gull]

yeah but youd cut out support for realmode and 32bit baremetal OS

[ashen spindle]

yeah you cant run original DOS anymore then and some custom OS will need changes

but 32bit instructions and software aside from that wont change

[fair gull]

no more 32bit windows on my pc

[ashen spindle]

no that would still work

[fair gull]

shouldnt

[ashen spindle]

it starts in 64bit mode but as 32bit from my understanding

[fair gull]

from how i understood it you can only run 32bit apps in a 64bit os

which also means drivers cant be 32bit anymore

(cause the OS wouldnt load those)

yeah no 32bit OS anymore

youd literally only have 64bit OSs at that point

[ashen spindle]

right I think I was mixing up things between x86s and FRED

[fair gull]

ngl i love the idea of this architecture

and they even claim it would mean unused hardware stuff can be removed from their cpus

[ashen spindle]

it will be nice for validation time mostly

so it saves them money and time to test it

wont change anything for users

and makes like 5-10 people that write OS code on that level very mad

so mostly a net benefit in terms of faster cpu bring up time

[fair gull]

idk if anyone actually writes codes in 16bit mode still

except well... elevating to 64bit mode

lol

[ashen spindle]

I mean there are people doing custom OS and older unix stuff etc.

[fair gull]

time to buy a 386

[shy apex]

hi guys a small question i got myself the wooting 60he and wanted to ask if it is difficult to convert it to the Alumaze6e0

[analog sinew]

they have a video too

lmao the seller being confused why he wants to buy it xD

[raw prawn]

if the people who want to sell you stuff are confused why you're buying, that is a major oof.

the UI doesn't look horrible, but sadly, it doesn't seem to look good playing games

[vagrant pagoda]

The deck absolutely dominates due to using the right resolution for a handheld

[umbral heron]

And actual, continuous support

[ashen spindle]

deck also doesnt have VRR or >90hz screens

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah but the deck has double or more 0.1% lows

[ashen spindle]

would be interesting to see 60/90fps locked comparisons for that

but yeah the claw just has the unfortunate combo of bad SoC + bad drivers + bad system software lol

[vagrant pagoda]

They aren't getting 60 in most of the tests though

[wheat plume]

Who needs over 90Hz on a tiny screen???

Especially when most games don't get to that rate anyway

[ashen spindle]

why does the screen size matter for refresh rate

[woven laurel]

me

120hz on my phone or pass

[vagrant pagoda]

I'll take 90 over 120 with half the battery life

[ashen spindle]

how about 120 and you can just limit it yourself

long flight? 60hz cap, 1 hour train ride? yeah give me >120

[umbral heron]

It's a bit different on the phone, where you also use stuff like web browser, and you can actually feel those 120Hz
I'm perfectly fine with 60Hz limit on my Decks

[vagrant pagoda]

The thing is the deck at default beats the low power setting on the ally and legion in most of the tests.

[ashen spindle]

of course it beats it

SoC was made for low power

[vagrant pagoda]

So dropping the refresh isn't enough to come close

[ashen spindle]

no and I also only said it would be interesting to see 😛

[marsh pewter]

wooting handheld when?

[sweet cairn]

hall effect screen

[vagrant fog]

e ink screen using HE magnets lol

[smoky frigate]

since the claw is likely going to fail, it could be dirt cheap very soon and potentially worth getting

[gusty kiln]

I wonder how much intel paid MSI to be in the slaw

or steep discount on the chips

[mild dome]

I am going to conspiracise that it was an under the table kind of deal. For MSI's leadership considering non of those cost savings were passed to the claw.

Legit the Lenovo Legion is $200 AUD bucks cheaper before sales here

[turbid crane]

Anyone use the vaxee np01s? Was kind of interested in it, but I have kind of small hands

[unkempt lake]

Honestly... i'd rather take the extra battery

If it has a big impact

I've tried 60 and 120 on my iphone and found the battery life to be the same tho

[lyric hatch]

120hz just feels too buttery to go back to 60hz

[astral haven]

I predict it depends what people do with their phones if they like 120hz or not
If they watch video, or read using tap to next page, they probably don't care, if they mostly scroll or are zooming in and out, they probably care more

[halcyon moss]

Good thing that must refresh rates on mobile displays are adaptive

[green shard]

Anyone know if Boog 75 module fits in other cases besides zoom 75? Can’t find a list like there is for 60HE compatibility. Milky Green is a little too neon green for me.

Want an olive color case that will work for an HE board. Trying To finish a 3 keyboard collection for these keycaps, 80HE is the 2nd one and is going to be my black case.

[ashen spindle]

#🔧│keyboard_modding can help you

[reef patrol]

Arguably the folks who made the Boog are the ones to ask, not a completely unrelated company 😄

[green shard]

Well true, I’m not in a million tech communities so just figured I’d ask. Personally my life is better without being on Reddit or twitter.

[hallow iron]

i just spilled ice tea on my keyboard will smth happen

[marsh glade]

UNPLUG IT IMMEDIATELY

Then take it apart and clean it

[reef patrol]

Please don't ask the same question in several channels. I already answered you twice.
#💬│general message

[junior stump]

zeromouse optimum or wlmouse beast

to replace my g pro wireless

which one would you guys pick?

[umbral heron]

Neither
G Pro X Superlight or DAv3 Pro
Or something from Lamzu or Ninjutso

[gusty kiln]

Yeah, go with shape over the current flavor of the month hype

Unless you have small hands and finger tip, then those can work

[junior stump]

I do have small hands and i never rest my palm on my g pro wireless (unless i browse)

just my fingers

gpro will still be my browsing mouse

https://www.rxddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1c4dw3b/why_is_the_windows_11_right_click_menu_taking_so/

Unironically why Win11 is absolutely trash

Everything takes so damn long

[analog sinew]

what the fuck

[cursive summit]

The same is on wife's W11 but not that long

it's just so clunky and unusable

Windows is degrading, and it's sad cause there's nothing quite on the same level of ease of access and versatility

[steep creek]

i have never seen that happen that tbh

[umbral heron]

I mean... MacOS is definitely a contender with ease of access

[marsh glade]

You know what the solution is? Windows as a subscription

[cursive summit]

I took both of those words to counter 2 main alternatives: mac and linux

[steep creek]

i have embraced the penguin anyways so doesnt bother me

[cursive summit]

Linux has absolutely no ease of access

And Mac has no versatility, nowhere near the amount Windows has

There's just nothing quite like it for now

[astral haven]

nowhere near the level of windows

[steep creek]

if i could i'd have macos be my main and only os

[umbral heron]

Take someone who hasn't used a computer in their life and I can bet my arm they'll find MacOS easier to use than Windows
Windows is easy, because Windows is everywhere

[cursive summit]

Indeed

[astral haven]

my grandmother has been trying for 15 years and its still not working well

[astral haven]

never used windows once

[cursive summit]

I'm also an aging old fart who hates anything I am not used to so I hate Linux

[steep creek]

i kinda have to agree, windows setup process alone can be confusing for some people

[cursive summit]

Mac just has way too little options and horrible emulation layers to do stuff I usually do which are not on mac

[umbral heron]

Still, it just works™

[cursive summit]

And I hate Apple and refuse to buy their products, never have, never will

[astral haven]

you are thinking of windows

[umbral heron]

If only Apple wasn't so anti-consumer...

[astral haven]

on mac it usually can eventually be made to work unless apple doesnt like it

[steep creek]

it just works assuming you're all apple. they aren't friendly at all to third parties

works well though

[astral haven]

except you can never be all apple because apple doesnt make printers

[cursive summit]

I don't see the appeal of apple anyways

Their phones suck, the tablets have a shitty form factor, macs have little support from developers and are mid

[steep creek]

thats true but, honestly printing stuff from macos and linux has been flawless for me at least

[cursive summit]

The only thing I'd genuinely buy is their watch

[astral haven]

not for my grandma

[umbral heron]

Apple made CUPS though, the best suite and drivers for printers ever

[cursive summit]

Which is pretty good apparently, the apple watch

[astral haven]

and i cant help her because she isnt able to navigate the permissions to allow zoom to screenshare

[steep creek]

fairs difficult to account for everyone

[cursive summit]

Why'd I buy an apple watch as an android user though, I can just get a Garmin or whatever they are called

I think Garmins are good right?

[steep creek]

yea garmin is nice, not as smartwatch like though

[astral haven]

except its not, because it usually doesnt work unless you have devices of the same age

[cursive summit]

I would only need it to precisely, medical level precision, track health stuff like BPM

Other than that, I have no requirements

[steep creek]

then its plenty, i have a few friends who are quite happy with the fitness stuff garmin watches offer

[cursive summit]

I heard Samsung is far inferior to Apple watches in terms of internal component quality

So I'm not buying assmung either

[steep creek]

oh medical level precision is difficult, not sure about that one, but general health measurements are cool

[cursive summit]

I read that apple's thingy is medical level

[steep creek]

apple isnt medical level either but they are pretty accurate

[cursive summit]

Which is very impressive, fair play to them

The only product I would ever genuinely consider from Apple

[umbral heron]

Wawa? CUPS is literally the golden hammer for printers
Everything I threw at it just works
There was only one instance where I had to barely change .ipp driver for really obscure label printer

[steep creek]

best watch ive ever had, i wear it all the time and get so much use out of it

[umbral heron]

And to be fair... For my grandma... I'd probably give pre-configured Linux
Easy to fix over remote access, easy to limit what user can do, and can be configured to be easy to use by older people too

[cursive summit]

I'm glad, I hope you (continue to) enjoy it

[steep creek]

thank you, hope you find a watch that suits your needs as well

[cursive summit]

Vibe, you a watch person?

Like, had been wearing watches for a long time?

[astral haven]

and doesnt update without pain
i dont want to spend time troubleshooting, i just want it to work

[cursive summit]

Cause I've never been a fan of anything touching my body lol, including watches

Very rough time getting used to them

[steep creek]

ive been wearing watches since i was a young kid, maybe 6 or somewhere around that

[cursive summit]

Ah, that's how most people do it

Idk I think I would appreciate something that just disappears

The comfort has to be unnoticable basically, otherwise my OCD kicks in and I want to get rid of the thing on my body

[steep creek]

though i have some friends who only wear watches for certain occasions like exercise and so on, guess it depends

[steep creek]

yea i get that, some watch bands make me want to take it off right away, metal to name one. i like soft ones

[umbral heron]

I feel you so much with this

[steep creek]

though ill say at some point i started wearing the watch on my left arm instead of right, and that took some time getting used to lol

[astral haven]

my watch gives me a rash after wearing it for more than a hundred hours straight, so i switch arms occasionally

my last metal only one was fine, but my skin isnt happy with glass

[steep creek]

ah fair, i take mine off before sleeping so arm gets to rest a bit

[astral haven]

i use mine for sleep tracking too

and as an alarm

[steep creek]

ah i see

[astral haven]

my battery has degraded tho, it now is at 50% or less at the end of the week, so I now tend to have to charge it every week rather than every other week like before
it used to end up at around 10% after 14 days, 60% after 7

[steep creek]

mine is still at 100% capacity but i dont charge it that often

[cursive summit]

https://www.withings.com/us/en/scanwatch

Huh, this isn't very expensive

Never heard of this

[steep creek]

it lasts about 2-3 days depending on if i have cellular on or off and how long my workouts are

[cursive summit]

Unironically a traditional watch front is more my style than smartwatches

[steep creek]

pretty sure i saw this in store once, looked nice but haven't tried it myself

[cursive summit]

Huh it's a Nokia brand now

Oh wait it was, they became independent

[cursive summit]

What realistically is the point of paying more

[steep creek]

oh wow those are pricier than i thought they would be

[cursive summit]

Weirdly enough we live in an era where 350 is pretty damn normal

[astral haven]

withings is expensive

they are however going for the retro crowd, and they usually spend far more than nescessary

[cursive summit]

I mean

It's cheaper than the latest Watch

[steep creek]

this is apple tho

[astral haven]

also its kinda normalized for 2+ week battery life

[steep creek]

withings offers subscriptions on top of this

[marsh glade]

I'm thinking about getting myself a new set of wireless earbuds and am also facing stickershock

[mild dome]

Remember the gold apple watch

[steep creek]

oh yea that one was in a different tier of pricing lmao

[analog sinew]

"cheaper than apple" seal of quality

[marsh glade]

I wanna get the new Cambridge Audio ones but they be hella pricey 🫠

[cursive summit]

Mark, usually I always advise to get a new phone with a good set of earbuds as a gift offer

Lotta carriers do that

[marsh glade]

I don't need a new phone though

I got a new phone two years ago

[cursive summit]

Well 2 years in smartphone lifecycle is already "very old"

[steep creek]

ehh lol

[marsh glade]

Then it was old when I got it because I got two generations old at purchase lol

[cursive summit]

I'm fine with my.. 3-4 year old one? But I'll get a new one if one of them has a WF-1000XM5 as a gift

[steep creek]

are you thinking about the wireless ones mark?

[marsh glade]

Yea my function would be for travel and whilst biking

[steep creek]

yea those look nice, wireless is epic for exercising and being outside

unfortunately for me these type of buds dont fit well, only stem type ones stay in my ears

[marsh glade]

What's some good alternatives to the Melomania M100?
https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/eur/en/products/melomania/melomania-m100

[cursive summit]

WF-1000XM5

A lot more expensive though

I still love my Melomania Touch but it has issues with connection and bugs

Actually WF-1000XM5 are 230 here, so about same as Melomania M100 with shipping

Huh, is this what GOG 2 was supposed to be? https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite?

[astral haven]

what arent you willing to compromise that the m100 has

[marsh glade]

That's a good question. I don't really know what makes the m100 good other than that I've purchased from that brand in the past and they seemed like a premium product at a good value, and had a good experience with a late stage warranty request

[astral haven]

if they actually have good CS, you wont find any TWS with that besides sony?

[marsh glade]

The m100 is more than double the price that I paid for the previous one though, which puts me off... If they could offer a great product at half the price last time, I'm sure there's a competitor out there that slipped into that price range they left behind

[astral haven]

the default recc is samsung/sony/apple, apple newest is best, samsung tier list is galaxy buds+ , then og, then 2, then akg n400, then pro, then 2 pro
will have to look up reviews to figure out where the buds FE fit in.
for sony, its xm4, then linkbuds s (make sure to include the s) then xm5

[marsh glade]

Thanks for laying all that out for me

[astral haven]

sony has best noise cancelling, apple has best passthrough, samsung has closest to harman sound profile

sony also has the best multi device support (no platform lock)

[gusty kiln]

Yeah I wish multi device was more open on samsung

[astral haven]

same

i dont want to have to pick between all these things i want

while im wishing, I want 3 or more device multipoint

[gusty kiln]

Tws with an optional rf receiver as well

[astral haven]

nah
just get the creative dongle

[gusty kiln]

Low latency teams meeting

[astral haven]

creative dongle is low latency

[gusty kiln]

Aptx ll?

[astral haven]

adaptive

maybe LL?

but definetly adaptive

[gusty kiln]

I just don't like it when windows make me choose between headset and headphone mode

[astral haven]

i mean theres not much to be done about that

[gusty kiln]

😬

[astral haven]

just use a real microphone

[gusty kiln]

I do at home but not at work

[astral haven]

dont they have a mic built into the computer?

[gusty kiln]

Yeah but open office

Wish I had my own room

[astral haven]

basically every intel pc has excellent beamforming in the mic array

well laptop or tablet

[gusty kiln]

Laptop

[astral haven]

hopefully they wired the mic into the intel adc

if they did, it should be solid enough

[gusty kiln]

Hmmm

[vagrant pagoda]

https://youtu.be/Sy4PjHci6qs

[astral haven]

heck yea, more v3 content

[astral haven]

"first amd tablet"
people really love to forget any amd products released more than 5 years ago lol

That was surface laptop

[bright nimbus]

Hey guys! <@&490097707487330305> How do I write the paragraph symbol? It's pretty vital to my study for taking notes on my gaming pc, when I'm doing homework 😄 But I can't seem to find a solution on the FN layer on Wootility. Any advice?

[hollow carbon]

Depends on the selected OS language
recommeneded to check
https://keyshorts.com/blogs/blog/44712961-how-to-identify-laptop-keyboard-localization

for the bind

[woven laurel]

dont ping staff or volunteers. thanks.

[bright nimbus]

@woven laurel Sorry about that. Will do in the future. This is what I was able to find out 😄 I have ISO: "(commonly know as European type), featuring 7-shaped enter key and short left Shift key together with additional regular key on the right of the left Shift key;"

[woven laurel]

https://chat.openai.com/ or www.google.com

[bright nimbus]

? 😄

[olive dawn]

is the drunkdeer 75 the same level as wooting or like whats the similarities and differences between performance?

[bright nimbus]

Couldn't get a good answer on google or chatgpt, since it bases it off having the key on the keyboard already. Which Wooting 60HE doesnt have. Please help

😄

[reef patrol]

As mentioned further up, that depends entirely on what keyboard language you've chosen in your operating system.

A keyboard doesn't know what a language is, and sends raw keycodes "key 23, key 78".

The OS decides what these become based on the selected language.

The labels on your keyboard are entirely illustrative and rely on you picking the same exact language layout in the OS.

[bright nimbus]

And the OS is ISO right? My operative language on my PC is english, but I don't know if that's what you mean

[analog sinew]

iso is a layout

you need a keyboard layout, not the os language

you can have english os and french keyboard

[bright nimbus]

english OS, nordic layout

[reef patrol]

Swedish? Danish? Icelandic?

[sharp badger]

Fn + Alt Gr + Esc for me

[bright nimbus]

Danish

½

Fn + Alt Gr + Esc gives me½

[sharp badger]

Yeah put Alt Gr on some other key

[bright nimbus]

But its not there

This alt+ thing also doesnt do anything

Like this @sharp badger

½½½§§§§§§§

§§§§

omg

Fn + Shift + Esc

[sharp badger]

Yeah seems like it's that in Danish language

[bright nimbus]

Thanks man. Made my day

[proven furnace]

Do y'all think intel releasing a gaming cpu with 10 p cores no e cores and a 3d cache is viable?

[vagrant fog]

Ehh, no one would buy it. It would draw 200 watts at minimum and 3d v cache already is very heat sensitive.

On a dead platform also.

[ashen spindle]

I mean in theory yes but thats not what is happening

[vagrant fog]

They could, and it would be decent probably but the 9800X3D would blow it out of the water.

[ashen spindle]

no they could not they had something like it planned for meteor lake and that got canned

[vagrant fog]

ok

[ashen spindle]

MTL and ARL was planned to have L4 cache again like haswell had

[proven furnace]

what is the news on 15th gen

[ashen spindle]

not great

end of the year, new socket, tiny performance increase, unlikely to compete with zen5 is the current leak/rumor status

with zen5 expected at computex and arl sometime Q3/4

[proven furnace]

I just wish they made better 10900k's because those cpus are the best

[ashen spindle]

huh

[vagrant fog]

Zen 5 is going to be crazyyy

[ashen spindle]

why would the 10900k be the best

[vagrant fog]

7800X3D already is a performance and effiency monster so

[proven furnace]

It had the lowest latency for memory but if the cache gets massive it doesnt matter

[ashen spindle]

you do realize bigger caches mean higher latency in the cache?

also they might be able to have some lower number in an aida latency bench but that doesnt translate into anything usefull in the real world

[proven furnace]

So why is increasing cache so affective

[ashen spindle]

because the access time for information on a dram stick is higher than the time to fetch it from l1/2/3/4 caches

by a few magnitudes and not just a few nanoseconds

so making a bigger cache will increase the latency by 3 or 4 cycles int he case of zen3

but that means you go from 50 to 53 for L3 instead of >300 when going out to dram

[proven furnace]

that makes sense

[ashen spindle]

that's why its worth it for many applications like games, fluid simulation or anything that benefits from it

and also why a 10900k is not better than a 12900k because even if that latency shows 43 instead of 40 or whatever, the rest massively outweighs that small tradeoff

[proven furnace]

I have to look up if current gen cpus double 10900k in any games fps wise

[ashen spindle]

double idk but it comes close sometimes

[proven furnace]

its more so like 1.5 on most cases

so waiting some more i guess

[ashen spindle]

as I said, computex is where we expect to see zen5

thats first week of june

[proven furnace]

7950x3D being beaten by the 7800x3d which both beats intels best is wild

[ashen spindle]

well it depends

if you take the time to set up core affinity right the 7950 has slightly higher clocks

and can use the non stacked ccd if you just want more clocks

but generally not worth the hassle lol

[proven furnace]

But for out of the box performance for games

[ashen spindle]

yeah

[vagrant fog]

Not in productivity, but gotta love AMD <3

[proven furnace]

Exactly just games

[vagrant fog]

Well, that will change with Zen 5.

[sweet cairn]

7800 just too good to pass up

[vagrant fog]

7950X3D is an all rounder

[sweet cairn]

All it needs to cool it is you blowing on it sometimes 😂😂

[vagrant fog]

Yep

[sweet cairn]

Idk why people get overkill AIO for it

[proven furnace]

power efficency goes well

[vagrant fog]

My 360mm AIO never goes above 30% fan speed. Never seen my 7800X3D go over 80c

I use an AIO because I got it for 70 bucks and it looks better

Deepcool LS720 SE White

[sweet cairn]

Im air cooling and never seen it go over 70

[proven furnace]

if you get a x3d whats the point of AIO if you can barely OC them

[vagrant fog]

yeah my fan curves are optimized to be quiet not performance

[sweet cairn]

I dont wanna deal with AIO leaks or failures

[vagrant fog]

but i never see go above 65 under full load at max speeds which is still quiet

[sweet cairn]

Also same

My fans are all at 10%

[vagrant fog]

yeah but I want it to fail to my discontinued 3080 gets replaced with a 4080 lol

[vagrant fog]

Peerless?

[proven furnace]

One of my cores on my 10900k idel at 63C the rest are at 43C

[sweet cairn]

Noctua

[vagrant fog]

Gotta love Noctua and Thermalright

[sweet cairn]

I recommend peerless though

[vagrant fog]

Deepcool is inbetween

[vagrant fog]

Power and thermals have come a long way, and that shows with AMD..

[proven furnace]

Peerless good cost/peformance

[vagrant fog]

Have a friend with a 7900X running like 5.4ghz all cores 88c

Edit : 5.3ghz for all the overclockers here

[sweet cairn]

Ye. I have money to blow and I love Noctua which is why I got what I got.

[vagrant fog]

This is the Wooting discord server, of course people here have money to blow lol

[solemn remnant]

my 7600x does 5.5 for all cores, around 80c

[vagrant fog]

Impressive

Can't OC a 7800X3D sadly

[solemn remnant]

though some of them won't hold it 100% of the time

[vagrant fog]

I run +850mhz on memory for my 3080 though

[proven furnace]

Barely need to

[proven furnace]

I run like 1150

[vagrant fog]

Gigabyte Vision 3080 10gb, looks so good

[vagrant fog]

What card?

[sweet cairn]

Not me planning out my next useless purchase

[proven furnace]

3080 FE 10gb

[vagrant fog]

Hmmm, let me try 1k mhz real quick.. if I don't reply my PC crashed

[solemn remnant]

kek

[proven furnace]

its more core that makes me crash

[vagrant fog]

yeah

I just use MSI curve to do my core clocks

dont mess with that

[proven furnace]

I keep increasing it till i got fps degradation for my memory in 3d mark

[vagrant fog]

wait why is this stable

last time I did 900mhz it crashed

maybe drivers

[proven furnace]

dude idk

[vagrant fog]

wth

[ashen spindle]

a single run isnt telling you stable or not, you need to run that for a while and keep temperature in the room in mind etc.

[vagrant fog]

yea

[proven furnace]

yep just run benchmark after benchmark

[vagrant fog]

i'll leave at +850mhz for now

I'm super happy with my card even on 5120*1440

[proven furnace]

I only play 1080

[vagrant fog]

overkill

[proven furnace]

Depends on the game

its underkill for warzone

[vagrant fog]

I use all my VRAM, maxed out in FH5, Fortnite all high no nanite/no RT

[vagrant fog]

AMD GPU is good for Warzone right?

[proven furnace]

idek

but I can't maintain 240 in most games paired with a 10900k at 1080p so why 1440p

[ashen spindle]

yeah cod runs extremely well on amd gpus for whatever reason

[vagrant fog]

I've heard

[sweet cairn]

People say 4090 is overkill for 1440p but I want insane frames

[vagrant fog]

My 7800X3D and 3080 barely try at 4k ultrawide which is crazy.. only thing holding back my 3080 is the VRAM

[sweet cairn]

144 is the new 30fps

[distant tapir]

It's def not insane at all.

[vagrant fog]

I've run into VRAM issues in FH5 with RT on

[proven furnace]

its not overkill when you want 1440p at 360hz

[sweet cairn]

Exactly

[proven furnace]

especially if you want to maintain good LOWS

[distant tapir]

It's only overkill to 'you don't need any more than 120 fps' copers.

[vagrant fog]

Yeah for comp gaming like fortnite people use 1440 360hz monitors

1440 is a great comp advantage and so is 360hz

[proven furnace]

1440p 360hz Oled is next for most i think

because 1440p 240hz doesnt feel like a large enough upgrade

i've tried it

[vagrant fog]

literally best you can get honestly, would rather a 360hz 1440 oled than a 1080p 540hz

I run a 5120*1440 Samsung Oledf

Crazy

[distant tapir]

24 inch 3840 x 2160 480 Hz OLED

[vagrant fog]

Nah who getting 480hz at 4k

[sweet cairn]

He looks like a dunmer fr

[distant tapir]

Use DLSS or something when you don't.

[vagrant fog]

DLSS sucks imo

Tried in Fortnite and FH5 and difference is night and day

[distant tapir]

Being able to use DLSS is way better than being forced to play at a crappy native resolution imo.

[vagrant fog]

Eh

Depends on the game

For comp, need frames not resolution

But for an RPG, 60 frames is fine at 8k tbh

[lyric hatch]

Damn yall playing at 8k

[sweet cairn]

Nah 60fps is unplayable

I cant even watch movies at that frame rate lmao

Its too choppy

[distant tapir]

It's too blurry and eye strainy for me.

But I'd love 8k.

[vagrant fog]

No just saying

[sweet cairn]

We are many years away from 8K being practical

[vagrant fog]

100%

1440P will be with us for a while

[sweet cairn]

Hell most of the planet is barely on 1080p lmao

Gonna be a while for 4k even

[vagrant fog]

I imagine a resolution between 1440P and 4K that isn't ultrawide being a meta lol

[sweet cairn]

Especially with the framerate arms race happening atm

[analog sinew]

race to the bottom you mean?

new games do be shite

[ashen spindle]

speak for yourself

[analog sinew]

i am not a new game

[sweet cairn]

Idk how that is related to the framerate arms race in the competitive scene

[analog sinew]

well not everyone cares about cs

[sweet cairn]

I know

Im one of them

[analog sinew]

okay then

[distant tapir]

I care about it for all kinds of games.

Also for desktop usage.

[sweet cairn]

But fact is the industry is moving to higher frames not resolution

[analog sinew]

i dont care about comp games

[distant tapir]

Scrolling and reading on webpages etc.

[analog sinew]

i just want 60+ fps on my titles

but they release in shit states

[sweet cairn]

Im talking about 540+ frames

[analog sinew]

and that is sad

[sweet cairn]

Not reasonable high frames

[vagrant fog]

For comp easy 540+ frames on low settings for most shooters

[vagrant fog]

What specs and titles are you playing?

[analog sinew]

uh yeah rn i'm kinda too demotivated to plsy anything

i play metroidvanias, roguelikes, monster hunter, soulslike, that shit

[distant tapir]

All Souls games are frustratingly capped to 60.

Outdated way of developing a game.

[analog sinew]

yes

[distant tapir]

Imagine releasing a game in 2020+ with a 60 fps cap.

[analog sinew]

well at least ac6 isnt

maybe they have learned

[distant tapir]

Hopefully.

[sweet cairn]

Nothing crazy, just alan waking up 2 maxed out 😂😭

Alan waking up 2 lmfaooo autocorrect wilding

[solemn remnant]

lul

not entirely inaccurate either

[analog sinew]

alan waking up to sweat and dust

[vagrant fog]

Lol

[fierce terrace]

most movies are at 24

tbf i cant imagine movies at 60 fps

[sweet cairn]

I was being just a little hyperbolic

[lyric hatch]

To be fair when the hobbit movie came out in 60fps people were saying it made them feel sick in the theater

So could actually be better for some people in 24 😂

[zenith silo]

Playing games below 100fps gives me motion sickness over time

60fps looks so shit

[ashen spindle]

wasnt the hobbit at 48?

[lyric hatch]

You right

[sweet cairn]

I never heard that

It was fine when we went to watch it

The issue is the movie made me sick

Being bad

[ashen spindle]

it's different for different people, some are more conditioned to it, some have a uncanny valley like feeling when its smoother

24 was just a compromise that they landed on but then made shutter speed and what not work best for it, so just adding more frames might not do the same result as in a video game

[ashen spindle]

TIL this is a slider in windows and HDR does not in fact lock brightness

sometimes you just feel extra stupid

[fierce terrace]

whats the monitor u're using

hdr in windows is locked

in sdr gamma

[ashen spindle]

the alienware qd oled first gen

[fierce terrace]

i downloaded the gamma corrected hdr profile

when using hdr i just switch to it because it doesnt work automatically

give me a sec

sometimes you need to switch back and forth to make it work but it looks so much better

https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm

[ashen spindle]

thats for 11 since they changed hdr right? im still on w10

[fierce terrace]

idk about w10

but i think w10 still using sdr gamma

check if im wrong

[ashen spindle]

I'll keep that bookmarked though because I'll switch to 11 when I get thew new pc in summer

[fierce terrace]

i remember when i had a problem in rdr 2 with hdr

made me sick looking at that washed out blacks etc.

[ashen spindle]

I just would always turn off hdr after playing a game with it because its too bright for me, I didnt know you can mover the whitepoint for SDR on the pq curve in windows like that and thought its fixed how bright sdr content is lmao

[unkempt lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZYy9KzFT2w

[fierce terrace]

in w11 you can do that only in hdr mode

[unkempt lake]

games for windows live

was horrible

[fierce terrace]

hdr is good only with proper gamma

still u gotta fix settings in the game

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah hdr is still a mess

[unkempt lake]

never had issues with HDR after using the ms calibration tool

im using a neo g9

[fierce terrace]

nah this shit is useless

gamma is still shit

[unkempt lake]

fine on my end

[ashen spindle]

but now I can at least try and see if I can work with this and dont have to switch it constantly on and off lol

[unkempt lake]

i think the monitor you're using does matter

[fierce terrace]

mine is lg 27 wrgb oled

[unkempt lake]

windows alt b toggles hdr on and off...

you dont need a special tool

[fierce terrace]

i dont think this does mater

[unkempt lake]

lol

[ashen spindle]

whos talking about a special tool?

[unkempt lake]

type of panel and hdr capabilities

it does matter

[fierce terrace]

you cant fix gamma with that windows tool

[unkempt lake]

looks fine as is tbh both in sdr and hdr

[fierce terrace]

you can fix whites and contrast and nits

but gamma in hdr in w11 is still sht

[unkempt lake]

i blame your monitor

tbh

[ashen spindle]

no windows just has lots of issues with hdr still

[unkempt lake]

if it doesn't support true HDR 1000 its gonna look like shit

[fierce terrace]

nah

those hdr4895357 certificates mean nothing

[unkempt lake]

that's why i said TRUE

because most companies fake that shit or cherry pick their numbers

[ashen spindle]

its not like wrong gamma curve creates artifacts it just displays the stuff wrong

so you might not even notice it if you dont know

[wheat plume]

Minisforum managed to spell Japan incorrectly on their email .....

[unkempt lake]

switching between the 2 i see no difference

one thing tho is my monitor has dynamic hdr and switches to sdr automatically depending on what's on screen

and hdr when its hdr content

[fierce terrace]

it does depent on windows

[unkempt lake]

you can handle a lot of this on the monitor level which hi end monitors do handle

[fierce terrace]

in windows you enable hdr or not

[unkempt lake]

leave it on

works perfectly with this monitor

[fierce terrace]

he hell nah

[unkempt lake]

i've seen it be garbage on other hdr monitors tho

but on this one it actually works well

[fierce terrace]

never leaving it on on competetive type of games

[unkempt lake]

i dont think im what you'd consider a competitive gamer

i play fps games in 32:9 lol

[fierce terrace]

i said competetive games not that i am competetive gamer

[unkempt lake]

https://www.samsung.com/ca/monitors/gaming/odyssey-neo-g9-g95na-49-inch-240hz-1ms-quantum-mini-led-ls49ag952nnxza/ @fierce terrace

here's what i use

[fierce terrace]

hdr adds too much in pixel response

49

holy

thats a half of my wall

[unkempt lake]

i replaced my triple monitor setup with this a few months ago

and its beautiful

for both work and gaming its just

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

[fierce terrace]

im on a double rn cuz of work and im fine

but 49

thats a fkin tv

[ashen spindle]

thats just for FALD not for oleds though unless im thinking of something else?

[fierce terrace]

since there is no real hdr in monitors other than oled...

[distant tapir]

That's not true. MiniLED can have excellent HDR.

Certainly much brighter than any OLED monitor.

[ashen spindle]

oleds self emitting means they shouldnt get any overhead in response times when in HDR

[fierce terrace]

yeah you're right tho there isnt much miniled monitors rn and there wont be since oled is cheaper to make

[fierce terrace]

it may be windows depended idk

[ashen spindle]

mhhh no I dont think windows has any influence there

it should just be from the FALD zones which are obviously not a thing on oleds

[fierce terrace]

ok

whats fald zones

i missed that one

real question

[ashen spindle]

full array local dimming

more dimming zones so non oleds can have better blacks/higher contrast

[lyric hatch]

some comparisons

[fierce terrace]

ye ye

monitor unboxed giga chad

[ashen spindle]

also apparently this does fix sdr but breaks hdr content

[fierce terrace]

this doesnt work in sdr content

its hdr profile so you can only use this while hdr is enabled

[ashen spindle]

is what I got when I asked someone who did color theory as a job but im too tired for more details

why couldnt they just make hdr work out of the box zzz

[fierce terrace]

idk who is that guy

but my rdr 2 and other games looks amazing in hdr

with these profiles

without em

hdr looks washed out

[lyric hatch]

when i get a proper HDR monitor im gonna have to upgrade to Windows 11

[ashen spindle]

that doesnt make sense the things title literally says its about

so why would it fix HDR content

[fierce terrace]

because of the gamma correction

"Transform Windows 11's virtual SDR-in-HDR curve from piecewise sRGB to Gamma 2.2"

[ashen spindle]

yeah so it changes the curve that windows uses to display SDR content when in HDR, not how HDR content is displayed?

[fierce terrace]

nah brother

[ashen spindle]

idk why I'm doing this to myself at 2am instead of when I'm awake lmao

[fierce terrace]

it changes the gamma curve windows 11 uses in hdr mode which is sdr gamma curve to 2.2 gamma curve

[steep creek]

am not that knowledgeable about this but i trust the cnc folks

[ashen spindle]

I mean i know I understand things enought to know when I need to read more and 2am isnt the time to figure out which parts im understanding correctly and which one not lmao

so I'll go to sleep now instead lol

[fierce terrace]

gn brother

[ashen spindle]

but thanks for the link and stuff either way

[fierce terrace]

this shit saved my hdr experience for sure

[steep creek]

goodnight

[vagrant fog]

OLED insane

[fair gull]

it changes the gamma curve in windows uses full stop. and iirc the author even said the only downside to their colorprofile is that it also applies to HDR and thus can lead to color inaccuracies or lost detail.

last i recall it actually makes HDR content worse as native HDR content now needs tweaks to display correctly

ah yeah found it and it is indeed right in the readme https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm?tab=readme-ov-file#temporary-solution read paragraph 2 and it clearly states native HDR content wouldnt need it and thus the fix is purely for SDR content on HDR monitors while HDR is enabled.

Wonder what the CoPilot key on the keyboard does on Linux

Oh, it replaces the menu key...

[reef patrol]

Makes sense. The least used key ever on a keyboard 😄

[wheat plume]

but then its a different ID so Linux wont know what to do with it cause its not the menu key

wait wait, CoPilot comes built into Windows, with plans to replace the Start Menu search with it in later versions of Windows and the plans to have a decidated button for it on keyboards is already in effect....but you still got to pay for it ontop of the license fee for Windows itself?!

[reef patrol]

What?

It's the same keypress. Your OS decides what the key does.

[old marlin]

it's just 3 keycodes at once

[wheat plume]

so, Windows is just intercepting Menu Key presses and opening CoPilot instead of the menu?

[reef patrol]

Yes.

[old marlin]

iirc shift + win + F23

[wheat plume]

Ooohh

got it

[ashen spindle]

pay for it
Yeah I’m sure the print on one keycaps makes a noticeable difference in a pc/laptops price 💀

[wheat plume]

I mean, its got some pretty damn powerful specs inside

[halcyon moss]

meh, its not that powerful

and a zephrus g14 laptop is waaay more powerful for the same price

but yeah, not a tablet

[wheat plume]

Seems more powerul than my desktop 😅 getting over 60FPS in Battlefield V in Ultra settings

my desktop cant do that in Ultra

so its better than GTX 1660 + Ryzen 5 3600 LOL, not that hard to do TBH, but the Steam Deck is not as good as that

[halcyon moss]

its an amd 8840U, thats not too special

[wheat plume]

not sure how web browing uses more battery power than video playback

maybe cause its constantly loading shit from storage in addition to downloading things for each page

but both comptuers and 5 browers have a blank page

[gentle spear]

is the viewsonic xg2431 good i heard it has qc issues

[fierce terrace]

i had one in my find-my-monitor arc

backlight bleeding was awfull

it was so awfull that i wasnt even trying to get a second one because you could tell it has bad design

(biggest leak was near right down corner where buttons are)

[sleek hawk]

i'm having an extremely weird issue ever since I've gotten the 60HE+

I have a UGREEN usb 3.0 switcher with 4 ports. On it I have the mouse, keyboard, FIIO k10 DAC and the antlion microphone.

Ever since I plugged in the 60HE+, the audio gets progressively distorted over time until i reboot the USB switch, or toggle the switching. I've tried disabling USB selective suspending but without any results.

Anyone had a similar issue?

[rough patrol]

The 60he uses a lot of power and has several virtual usb devices

So your hub could get overwhelmed from that

[sleek hawk]

i mean the USB hub is powered... hmmm.

[rough patrol]

Especially if you also have audio devices connected since those usually also act as several usb devices

As long as you plug the keyboard into your pc you should be fine

[umbral heron]

FiiO DACs act as one USB device
Still, try plugging the hub to other USB port on your PC, looks like your PC is getting overwhelmed

[sleek hawk]

gaaah. the thing is that I really need all of these devices switchable as I'm switching between my PC for gaming and Mac for work. That was one of the points of buying a hardware-programmable keyboard, so that I could switch layouts

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005932808582.html
Could try with a more powerful switch, they have a 10gbps one

[umbral heron]

My bet is that your PC is a culprit
I have 2HE, 3 UwUs, FiiO KA17 DAC and DAv3 mouse connected to one powered hub
And it didn't want to work with some USB ports on my PC

[sleek hawk]

might be a hub vs switch issue. Switches are way more finnicky

[zenith silo]

mines fine

motion clarity is awesome on it

[wheat plume]

I just heard somewhere that the keyboard for the Minisforum V3 is part of the preorder bonus and will be sold seperately on proper release :/

Got to love how so many people are harassing and complaining about Marquee's review of the Humane AI Pin .-.

Its a garbage product and he pointed that out, yet people are trying to cancel him over it

Hmm, it uses the Snapdragon 720G CPU

Huh why are people mad about that, that pin has obvious flaws

[wheat plume]

IDK .-.

Let's see how the Rabbit R1 will turn out later

[umbral heron]

Not many people, just very vocal minority, and on Twitter
Most comments on YT agree with him

[wheat plume]

YT Comments being correct?!

damn

Well, in comparison to Twitter then I guess that adds up

[umbral heron]

And 160k likes to 2k dislikes on YT, 105k likes vs 900 dislikes on followup

[steep creek]

Of course you’d find criticism on twitter

[wheat plume]

There are people claiming that Humane are gonna go bankrupt and how its all marquee's fault :')

I need to learn how to spell his name, damn it

[steep creek]

But im happy his review turned out to be the way it is, hope humane at least tries to improve on given feedback

[umbral heron]

Humane was founded by ex-Apple execs, no wonder they're tone deaf
$700 for a pin, which does way less than $200 phone can do
And with $24/mo subscription

[wheat plume]

LOL YEAH

Now these people are going back through his reviews and trying to blame him for the death of Fisker too .-.

LOL OK

Shitty EV car brand, even the CEO said they havent enough funds to make it through 2024

[umbral heron]

But they took the money still

[wheat plume]

yeah....

The only time I even heard of this car company was in Childish Gambino's song when he mentioned it

[steep creek]

I have only ever seen one fisker here

[wheat plume]

fucking hell, that song is 10 years old 😅

dropped it in #📻│music cause its a good song

[frozen ingot]

fisker were quite early to the market with the whole ev/hybrid stuff

came out around the same time as the first model s

[steep creek]

Just realized this sounds like a broken mix of norwegian and english

[frozen ingot]

yeah fisk is fish and fiskare is fisherman in swedish so kinda

[wheat plume]

xd

[reef patrol]

It's literally just the Danish name for fisherman

How odd indeed...

[wheat plume]

he made a follow up
https://youtu.be/QztFpzKsdeA

[steep creek]

yep, just without context it might have sounded like I was talking about an actual fisherman

[steep creek]

I feel if a review can kill your product, then it’s not really good to begin with

[wheat plume]

^

yeah, exactly

facts

[frozen ingot]

it wasn't really making a good case for itself prior to the review

imagine taking 00s top gear reviews seriously

[reef patrol]

TLDR; Danish media have been hammering on Fisker for a month or longer. They're headed for bankruptcy at this rate, and randomnamesaladgarble review guy isn't going to change that.

[halcyon moss]

tbh, the fisker ocean looks like a nice car

[wheat plume]

I love how he points out that his Razer Phone 1 review caused Razer to actually have a good vibration motor in Phone 2

Bad reviews are good if the company actually cares enough to fix the problems

[cursive summit]

Never heard of this Fisker bloke

[silver ridge]

Can this thing run only the keyboard and the dac? im planning one for the 60he + Audio interface

Despite Elon, Tesla cars are not that bad

not the best, not the worst

[pale sigil]

Man I don't like marq

Idk why but he's always annoyed me

[wheat plume]

and TBH, they are the leading charge (pun intended) behind the rollout of EV car chargers in public parking lots

[pale sigil]

He's a Tesla and apple sheep which doesn't help, I'm pretty sure the recent apple product is the only one he hates.

[wheat plume]

what recent one? the Vision Pro?

You say he shills Tesla but he also likes the Rivian

[steep creek]

he drives a porsche, prefers android, dont think he shills apple or tesla tbf

[shadow minnow]

Tbh the main reason I want to install one is just to see if I count as inside eu as my phone is from there and my main Apple ID is but I am in uk most time now

[steep creek]

afaik they check your location, but if you live in the eu there is a like 30 day grace period once you're outside

[vagrant pagoda]

Just use markass, everyone will know who lol

[vagrant pagoda]

He's been driving the CT for a bit now.

[steep creek]

oh lol hes done with the porsche already?

[vagrant pagoda]

He is a reviewer

Thus he constantly changes what he uses to do reviews

[steep creek]

true but i would expect the cars to not change that often

[vagrant pagoda]

Why

He reviews like 10+ a year

[umbral heron]

Secret life hack! Never go to mechanic ever again!

[steep creek]

dont really watch mkbhd so i wasnt aware

[silver ridge]

could you go with a usb hub on a usb switch? xD

cannot be so hard wtf

[vagrant pagoda]

It's just windows sucking at the mass connection of USB devices

USB switching isn't technically a supported thing, it just works because USB is plug and play

[silver ridge]

i jsut neet 2 devices to switch between 2 devices lol

idk whats the best way

and i dont need them simultaneous

[vagrant pagoda]

Two should be fine

[silver ridge]

60he and an audio interface 😄

[unkempt solstice]

is this a good place to ask for tech support help (mouse related) not sure where else to ask :/

[vagrant pagoda]

My two he has no issues with my L3 KVM

[silver ridge]

how is that one powered ß

[vagrant pagoda]

Via the wall?

[glacial meteor]

What do you guys think about https://youtu.be/sNT34c8a7sI?feature=shared ?

[cursive summit]

What is this

Where's the embed

[glacial meteor]

new cheater switches

[cursive summit]

There's no such thing?

Yay... clickbait..

[umbral heron]

[halcyon moss]

dead html tag

[cursive summit]

Anyways Brownee is a weird surname

[cursive summit]

Marquee Brownee sounds kinda tasty idk why

[umbral heron]

Brownies!

[cursive summit]

Too sweet

[halcyon moss]

so uh.. browser support is actually rather good for marquee

[umbral heron]

So... the dude just measures data from HE sensor, bigger number thus better?
That just means magnet is stronger

[glacial meteor]

does it? It seems like the sensor measure is not equaly.. tbh idk Geon/Raptor and their quality.. totaly new to custom keyboards.. but thinking about cancel they key switch order.. idk

[umbral heron]

Nah, switches are good, with a lot stronger magnet, but they are definitely not "cheater switches" lol

[glacial meteor]

yeah sure they arent.. they just dont have the flicker issues.. thats one of my reasons why I want to switch.. bcs it felt sometimes like the input is not well transfared between my inputs and the system.. in his example he is holding down the keys and "shakes" them.. with the following issue that new inputs are registered..

idk if this is a sensitivity issue or a design error..

[umbral heron]

I think that's more of a problem either with calibration or with 03C itself

[glacial meteor]

or maybe its about the fact that the housing doesnt sits tight enough?

thats me in the morning

[storm lark]

Hello, I have a logitech g pro wireless mouse and it does not have a dpi button. Can I bind a dpi button on my keyboard?

[reef patrol]

Not unless Logitech has a shortcut key for that, useable by any device (unlikely)

[dire lotus]

do you need to change dpi while in the same app?

[storm lark]

I just want to bind a dpi button on my keyboard since the g pro doesn't have it on the mouse

[dire lotus]

You could use G-Key Macro SDK and a fork of piper -> Would require a bit of coding background though !

[storm lark]

do you know if theres a video I can watch? Do I hvae to buy somthing?

[strong adder]

hello guys I wanted to ask if anyone has a profile code for valorant

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/04/isps-can-charge-extra-for-fast-gaming-under-fccs-internet-rules-critics-say/?comments=1&comments-page=1

[wheat plume]

...gaming doesnt even require fast internet, it just needs low ping

you can have internet too slow to stream a video on without buffering often but its still good for online gaming if the ping is decent

[vagrant pagoda]

Not even low ping as much as consistent ping

50ms average the swings between 100 and 10 is worse than 100 average that is rock solid

[wheat plume]

fair point

games have pretty nice ping compensation these days

except Minecraft....

that shit has no ping compensation 😢

[reef patrol]

This just means you'll have shitty ISP contracts and good ISP contracts.

[wheat plume]

They wanna make the internet access like a fucking streaming service

Gaming Package
Media package
Online Meeting package

all packages are 20 extra a month or some shit ontop of the base price for the bill

[astral haven]

except in the us theres no competition (available for the individual) meaning that there will be no pressure for isps to make good contracts available

[wheat plume]

^

I bet the usual throttling will still happen if you reach an orbitruary amount of data usage in the month?

or is that limited to phone carriers in the US?

[astral haven]

i believe it was made illegalish for "broadband"

[wheat plume]

oh

thats one good thing anway, I guess

its not illegal here .-. my aunts ISP throttle the connection so badly if she uses more than 150GB of data in a month

and she wasnt made aware of this until the first time it happened when she got a text from them

[astral haven]

its not illegal here either, but they arent allowed to advertise the internet connection as broadband

[wheat plume]

can barely load a fucking website when its throttled

[wheat plume]

oh....hah, broadband is part of the ISP's name in this case .-.

[astral haven]

and theres special priveledges given to isps if their internet service is classified as broadband here

[ashen spindle]

self promotion is not allowed

[cursive summit]

Nor is it interesting

[wheat plume]

I fail to see how the keyboard and mouse will impact performance also LOL, shameless promo

[pale sigil]

It actually can

It does in apex

[ashen spindle]

can you remove the self promo though please

[wheat plume]

well, there was a case a few years ago where the wooting 2 caused a memory leak in Distance

happened to someone in the game's server

[ashen spindle]

that wasnt really the hardware but the game not accounting for both sorts of controls

keyboard would be more at fault if it has bad polling or something like that, like 8khz mices can do

[astral haven]

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-401205A1.pdf
they recently updated the speed for broadband too

[wheat plume]

ooohhh

[astral haven]

is ought problem, the performance is what it is, the "fault" is an ought

[wheat plume]

ok, American phone carriers limit the amount of mobile data you can use through the phone's hotspot in most plans they offer

but does that apply if your phone is connected to unlimited data wifi and the hotspot is simply acting as a passthrough to some other device that cant directly connect to the wifi network?

[astral haven]

its kinda rare that phones support that afaik

[wheat plume]

my phone does..... I can turn off mobile data entirely, connect to wifi, turn on my hotspot and connect another device to the hotspot and it works great

[astral haven]

hunh
apparently mine can too

[wheat plume]

yeah yeah, most can

[astral haven]

not apple ofc

[wheat plume]

but would you be charged for that?

or limited by your plan?

if your plan has a hotspot limit on it

[astral haven]

nah

[wheat plume]

cause technically its not mobile data, you are just using the wifi

[astral haven]

im not aware of any carriers who do the calculation on device

[wheat plume]

but I want to know if the carriers consider any usage of the hotspot as counting towards the limit or if its only mobile data usage through the hotspot

[smoky fractal]

Nah not if you are using another providors internet service your wireless carrier wont charge you for it

[wheat plume]

ok, good

[astral haven]

the calculation is on the cell tower
so if it goes through the tower it gets counted

[smoky fractal]

Yeah so youre good if just using Wifi

[wheat plume]

I thought SIM card does that

[astral haven]

nope

[wheat plume]

aha

if using the hotspot like this did count to the limit, it would make the Playstation Portal even more useless than it already is :P

[astral haven]

?

you are supposed to have home wifi

[wheat plume]

Portal cannot connect to any wifi network thats locked behind an account login page

so if you go to an airport or cafe that locks wifi behind an account you cant use that network on the Portal

[astral haven]

can the portal work via the internet?

i thought it was like the wii u handheld part

[wheat plume]

it can if you set up the playstation on the router to expose it over internet....

[astral haven]

ew

[wheat plume]

someone in another server is trying to make that work

he borrowed his friends Portal cause he doesnt want to waste money on one

[astral haven]

oh if this isnt a thing sony makes available, then whatever, users will always do random nonsense

[marsh pewter]

I would much rather just stream my PS5 to my steamdeck

[astral haven]

steam deck is more money if you want oled, heavier, and a different controller layout

[marsh pewter]

yeah

I fs wouldnt buy it for the use of ps5 streaming

but I also wouldnt buy the portal for ps5 streaming lol

[astral haven]

oh i thought the portal was $300
for 200 its actually just about the price of hardware pretty much

[sharp badger]

Don't really see the point to get a PS Portal

[astral haven]

for you or in general

[sharp badger]

For me/general because of the wonky remote play

SD Oled would be a better option overall

[astral haven]

ah yes the 3x the price option is better, what excellent insight

[sharp badger]

Guess it's up to the individual in question if one wants to spend money on a remote player or spend more for a "true" handheld and even if the device is needed overall

[cursive summit]

Cause there is not a point

It's a shitty handheld that runs their remote PS app

You can do that on your phone and achieve same effect, for free

[astral haven]

yep
the steamdeck is awfully heavy, the portal is cheaper, lighter, longer battery, better controller (depending on the game)

[sharp badger]

Sure and no offline play

[astral haven]

"offline play"
you can use the portal without internet, just need a ps5

[wheat plume]

It also streams from PS5 with full HDR and OLED more than 60Hz

[wheat plume]

No

It streams over wifi

[lyric hatch]

You can use the Steam deck anywhere the ps portal you need to be at home and your limited to games that are on the ps5 they're completely different products

[astral haven]

wifi and internet are not the same thing

[wheat plume]

I LOVE PONY ISLAND 💜

[astral haven]

thats the point
they are different products that do different things

yes the ps portal is bad at the things the steam deck does better

but the ps portal does things the ps portal does for cheaper and lighter than the steam deck
