[marsh pewter]

the steamdeck isnt really that heavy, in fact the OLED is only 120g heavier than the ps portal

plus the steamdeck is larger, so that weight is going to be distributed more

[astral haven]

the weight of the steam deck is a problem

[lyric hatch]

I guess if you already own a ps5 which I'd say most people on this discord would not

[wheat plume]

The OLED Deck is literally so light it feels like holding a kid's toy

It feels like it should be hollow inside

[marsh pewter]

I wouldnt exactly call it light, but yeah it really doesnt feel that heavy at all

[astral haven]

have you tried using it for extended periods of time?

its a real problem

[marsh pewter]

yes

I have

[wheat plume]

When I had my Switch
My hands hurt after about an hour of holding and gaming on it

I can hold the Deck as long as the battery can last if I wanted to

[marsh pewter]

it can feel a bit uncomfortable after a while of use, but in most cases the weight doesnt really stick out to me as being that big of an issue

[wheat plume]

The weight of the device doesn't matter if the grip isn't comfortable

The Switch is proof of that

[astral haven]

are you talking about handholding it, or using it while its resting on something

[wheat plume]

Light console
Hurts to hold for long

[wheat plume]

Handholding
Sitting on a chair and playing it

[marsh pewter]

now, this can vary from person to person and I can totally get how it can be too heavy for some

[ashen spindle]

just because the switch has enough factors that make people be okay with an issue, doesn't mean its not an issue though

[lyric hatch]

It's 640 grams time to hit the gym

[marsh pewter]

usually I rest it on something, though I have used without resting it on something and personally I dont think its that bad

again, the PS portal really isnt much lighter

[astral haven]

my experience mixed with the incredible amount of complaints about the deck ergonomics makes it hard to believe you are telling the complete truth

[marsh pewter]

really you've heard complaints about the deck's ergonomics?

[wheat plume]

Who the fuck is complaining about the Decks ergonomics?

[lyric hatch]

The people I know who own a steam deck love it, I haven't heard any complaints

[wheat plume]

Yeah...even reviews who hate other aspects of the Deck love the ergonomics of it

[marsh pewter]

most of the people I've talked to say it has some of the best ergonomics of a handheld and even controllers in general.

[astral haven]

i love the steam deck too
the ergonomics are still shit

[wheat plume]

Wat

???

I've never seen anyone complain about that aspect of the Deck

[astral haven]

I dont remember a review that said it was light enough to use without resting on something

[wheat plume]

Weight alone != Ergonomics

The grip comfort is also a factor

[marsh pewter]

personally I think the deck's ergonomics are amazing, especially compared to competitors.

[wheat plume]

While the Nintendo Switch is lighter
It's also flat and sucks to grip onto for long sessions

Worse ergonomics than deck

[astral haven]

just because the more popular cheaper option is worse doesnt make it ok

[ashen spindle]

theres definitely people on the deck reddit alone that say its not great for them to hold for one reason or another, they are not the majority but it's not hard to find

[wheat plume]

You don't see people buying third party grips for the Deck to make the grip feel better

[astral haven]

the ergonomics are not just the grip lol

[wheat plume]

Yeh
But it's not just weight like you are implying either

[astral haven]

what makes you think i was implying that?

[lyric hatch]

🤔

[astral haven]

and is that the same as this statement?

[wheat plume]

?

[royal prairie]

Does the rooting 60he or the 80he have presets lighting that you can toggle without going to your pc

[astral haven]

what do you think i mean

[wheat plume]

Idk

I have no idea

[astral haven]

so why do you say this

[wheat plume]

Cause you think ergonomics = weight

I'm trying to say it's also about how it feels to grip

[astral haven]

and this is wrong

[ashen spindle]

yeah he never said that

[wheat plume]

Yes
It is wrong

[ionic walrus]

you can guys fight im waiting

[astral haven]

so what do you think I meant

[wheat plume]

I was agreeing that this statement is wrong

[astral haven]

since you know we agree that ergonomics and weight are not the same thing

[astral haven]

so why would you say it?

[wheat plume]

You didn't think that at the start of the discussion though

[astral haven]

again wrong

[ashen spindle]

he replied to someone talking about the weight with just the weight discussion, that doesnt mean weight= ergonomics

[wheat plume]

Your very first message about the deck ergonomics only ever mentions weight

[marsh pewter]

tmk there is no way to swap RGB presets without going into software, only way to achieve a similar effect would be to create a profile with different RGB.

[astral haven]

if i said that this hamburger had too much ketchup on it, would you think that i meant that hamburgers only factor determining its quality is the amount of ketchup?

[ionic walrus]

if its beef yeah

[astral haven]

what

[ionic walrus]

beef burger

[astral haven]

I got that part, I dont understand what you wanted to convey

[ionic walrus]

i like beef burger

[astral haven]

neat

[ionic walrus]

and heat

[royal prairie]

Does the wooting 60 and 80 can take any generic key caps

[ionic walrus]

Any MX style keycaps will fit

[royal prairie]

Ty

[lyric hatch]

Anyway after using a friend's oled steam deck I'd say in terms of comfort I could use it for about as long as my oled switch in handheld

[astral haven]

The next follow-up to this leading question is, if there's too much ketchup on a burger, what option besides remove ketchup exists to resolve the problem and make me happy? And would make me happier than removing ketchup?

[pale sigil]

What's wrong with the steam decks ergo

It's great

[lyric hatch]

I'm a big guy though

[astral haven]

Let's be clear, Im not saying any of what we currently call handheld are better, they are all bad, I'm just saying steam deck could be better

[lyric hatch]

In terms of what though the ps portal which has barely any internal hardware

[royal prairie]

Is the wooting 60heplus wireless ?

[ashen spindle]

no

[ashen spindle]

tldr it's better than all/most other handhelds, doesnt mean its perfect

[astral haven]

I mean I'd be super hype for a handheld that had a compute Puck that can stay in my bag or pocket

[wheat plume]

The rumours Google are going to kill Youtube Music worry me

I cant move to Spotify cause a lot of the songs in my playlist are not on there

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-get-to-work-gif-21630516

[wheat plume]

I literally cannot

[sweet cairn]

If they kill youtube music they better make youtube premium cheaper

[wheat plume]

^

yeah

for sure

but I doubt they will

[sweet cairn]

I also am pressing X to doubt

[ashen spindle]

I also doubt some random rumor about them shutting it down will happen

[wheat plume]

This is Google...they kill like 80% of the shit they release

[ashen spindle]

doesnt give any more credit to some rumour from who knows where

[marsh pewter]

I doubt google is going to kill youtube music

[sweet cairn]

google is king of shutting down random services

[astral haven]

its not random what they shut down

[wheat plume]

The only evidence to point they WONT kill it is that they merged the Podcast app into YT Music

[sweet cairn]

well obviously they aren't throwing a dice and shutting something down bro

[wheat plume]

Google are stuck in a loop for their new services

no one wants to use them cause they suspect itll be killed fairly shortly afterwards
it does get killed fairly shortly afterwards cause no one uses it

[marsh pewter]

yt music has been highly intregrated into everything else

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I know

[marsh pewter]

like shorts for example

[wheat plume]

google nest especially

[marsh pewter]

its very unlikely it shuts down

[wheat plume]

all assistant hardware uses YT Music

but other than that, a lot of people just play music via the regular YT app for some reason

[sweet cairn]

I remember when Google reassured us that stadia wasn't shutting down and then they shut it down shortly after

[wheat plume]

idk why but they do

[sweet cairn]

So I don't trust em because it's clear one hand isn't talking to the other.

[wheat plume]

yeh... YT Music is ingrained into many products they offer, so probably its safe

Though they laid off a lot of the dev team for YT Music recently :/

Most people ive seen seem to hate youtube music

even a lot of tech sites out there

[marsh pewter]

yeah I'd say its pretty high up there for music streaming imo

it has a lot of songs that most of the competitors dont have

plus its free

and doesnt have ads? not sure tho.

[wheat plume]

I only consider it free on desktop

the mobile app is basically un-usable without premium

just like how the Spotify mobile app is not usable without premium

[astral haven]

revanced lol

[wheat plume]

^

[astral haven]

decisions can be changed
"stadia is not shutting down" is true until it isnt

[sweet cairn]

That's my point exactly.

Just because they integrated YT music into stuff doesn't mean it's safe.

[astral haven]

but you have to look at what the google graveyard contains
its mostly stuff that doesnt make or loses money

[sweet cairn]

Having said that, I have no real opinion on the matter. I don't know anything about YT music nor do I care.

[astral haven]

if you have a product like music that actually makes money, its harder to shut down

[wheat plume]

Does YT Music make them money?????

[astral haven]

i use it, its definetly got the least broken recommender engine for me who gets bored of music incredibly fast

[sweet cairn]

But google does have a dicey track record with things is all I am pointing out.,

[wheat plume]

Everyone seems to hate it

or use youtube to play music

[astral haven]

profit who knows, but it has revenue

[wheat plume]

🤔 aha

[astral haven]

again look at the graveyard
its all stuff that either doesnt make money at all or wasnt widely used, or both

and often its stuff that is competing with other google products, and they just trash the one that makes less money

[wheat plume]

most shit was not widely used cause people are too scared to use something they think will be killed randomly in the future

[astral haven]

nah

most of the google graveyard is just stuff that noone knew about and noone cared about

[wheat plume]

fair

[astral haven]

its rather rare that google kills something "popular"
and tha "popular" stuff is usually in 5th place in a duopoly

[trim crane]

@steep creek yo im here

are you able to vc?

[steep creek]

ah sorry im a bit busy at the moment, maybe friday or weekend

[unkempt lake]

https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/delta-game-emulator/id1048524688

The goat of ios emus got releasd

[steep creek]

but can ask here over text if you'd like

[trim crane]

sure

1 poll is visualized as pc to device to pc, and this occurs *UP TO 8,000 times in 1 second between the pc and the 80HE

as explained in 80HE channel

please correct if wrong

[steep creek]

yea one poll can occur every 1 / 8000 seconds

[astral haven]

this can occur 8000 times per second
it usually wont

[trim crane]

true

[trim crane]

but 1 poll is defined as such?

[steep creek]

do you mean just the definition of a poll?

[trim crane]

ye

for 1

[steep creek]

uh way i see it is, its one data transmission cycle

[reef patrol]

Hello, do you have data for me?
Here is the latest data.
Thank you.

[steep creek]

basically

[trim crane]

1 poll-
PC: you got anything?
KB; yes/no
PC: thanks

yeyeye

[reef patrol]

If polling is higher than scanning rate, you will end up receiving duplicate data.
This is why real enthusiasts consider "8khz polling" a major meme, if scanning doesn't follow along 😄

[trim crane]

in the case of HE is a bit different, as mansen said it would be more like "heres the latest data" especially in analog mode

but still that sounds like it applies to a digital signal too

[fickle ore]

Try overflooding 8khz poll rate you wombats

[trim crane]

dupe data because it has to scale?

[steep creek]

with analog its kinda the same except you just run it through an adc to get the digital value

[reef patrol]

If your hardware only checks internally for new values (scanning) 1000 times a second, but your PC is asking 8000 times, then it's going to be repeating yourself a bit.

One might say it's the USB equivalent of ARE WE THERE YET

[steep creek]

sorry aero i wish i could explain more but something came up, have to go

[trim crane]

my corsair K70 that died a while ago felt no different on 8k than 1k, despite having 4k scan

[trim crane]

pc be high on caffeine where as the mcu scanning be like zzz

real

[trim crane]

not at all thanks for your time

now the scanning I suppose

[shrewd cipher]

Am i blue yet? :V

No 😦

[trim crane]

1 scan cycle is scanning all 88? keys on the 80HE

[shrewd cipher]

Yea

[trim crane]

does scan rate fluctuate or does it stay at a fixed value?

polling does fluctuate I know, but scanning

[shrewd cipher]

It scans every key 8k times, i thinks its fixed

[trim crane]

i mean it sounds right

[shrewd cipher]

Since they say true 8k polling, the internal scan and communication to the pc should be 8khz

[trim crane]

they are

but I was wondering if the scan value was a fixed value that synchronizes to the desired polling, or does it always fluctuate

thats something I would like to know

[shrewd cipher]

On the mouse it depends on the ammount of data transmitted, on the kb it should hold the 8khz without input

It will always fluctuate a little

[trim crane]

yeah that makes sense

for example the OP1 8k might have the least of that fluctuation if on 8k

enough about my tangent on mice tho

keyboard polling does behave a bit differently due to the nature of them

[shrewd cipher]

A mouse has a lot of fluctuation, if ya dont move it, its barely pushing any hz, if ya move it with medium speed it might peak to 2khz and if you are fast on a high sens it may peak to 8khz

[trim crane]

ye

[shrewd cipher]

I tested it on mine, 26.000 DPI and fast movement let it peak to 8k

But most ppl may only reach 4khz on normal use

[trim crane]

i usuallly sstill play on 1k

oh and theres another thing

[unkempt lake]

https://bgr.com/tech/first-alternative-app-store-launches-for-iphone-users-in-europe/

[shrewd cipher]

Lol, congrats xD

[astral haven]

rumors are also saying you will be able to chose where you put icons on your home screen next version too lel

[trim crane]

get strongarmed apple

[shrewd cipher]

Im on 8k and 6400DPI rn. mine peaks at about 3800hz

[trim crane]

what mouse

[shrewd cipher]

DAv3

[trim crane]

i see

[shrewd cipher]

I just let my hz run free, if i peak higher than 4k, its free to go there xD

[trim crane]

ok

and there's multiple keys per usb report

so you could ssend more than 1 input at the exact ssame poll?

[astral haven]

yep, all keys

oh goodness, I thought the rumor the camera setup would be unchanged was an april fools
if they dont make an appreciable change to the camera in 3 years of phones that would be such a disappointment for a real camera company

[pale sigil]

Tbh this is good even if we are reading it as an android user.

Kind of fair tbh

[wheat plume]

I love the system requirements list

• have iOS 17 or later installed
• Be in Europe

:')

Just be there
No biggy

[steep creek]

I wish it specifically said EU instead of Europe

[wheat plume]

Is the UK included in the side loading?

[astral haven]

yea and how about switzerland?

[wheat plume]

Idk

[steep creek]

Nop only European Union member countries

[astral haven]

did apple actually not allow it or is that just the ruling

[steep creek]

I believe that’s the ruling

[astral haven]

if apple actually prevents the swiss and the brits from sideloading that would just be sad

[steep creek]

They prevent us from side loading as well

[astral haven]

"Sideloading of apps is available in 27 European Union (EU) countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, and Latvia. These countries include: Australia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, and Sweden."
welp

[steep creek]

Apparently your apple id region needs to be in an eu country, and it checks your location to verify if you’re actually there

[reef patrol]

Australia
EU

[steep creek]

If you leave the eu they give you a grace period of a month ish then after that you gotta return to get side loading back

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-good-day-mate-gday-gif-4483118

[steep creek]

lmao

[astral haven]

both that publications spellcheck and my brain are dyslexic
i read austrian lol

[pale sigil]

Shame you can't just use a second Apple ID like the old days.

I used to swap countries easily

[astral haven]

"like the old days"
what

[astral haven]

why?

[pale sigil]

American apps

[steep creek]

You can still region swap to get some apps but side loading is entirely different

Because it checks your location now

[astral haven]

oh right just apple problems lol

[steep creek]

I like Apple products but man sometimes this company gets on my nerves

[astral haven]

its more up front work to find better products, but it can be done, and its 1 time investment for future peace of mind

[pale sigil]

Good job I left for good recently

[lyric hatch]

Damn Australia but not New Zealand

[astral haven]

its almost certainly a typo

[steep creek]

I’m up for it, we’ll see when my products age more

[nimble canopy]

I dont see austria on that list

[astral haven]

australia> austria typo

[unkempt lake]

Or you can use the old altserver method everywhere else

[astral haven]

what

[steep creek]

That’s annoying because you need to setup some stuff on your computer lol

Have it connect to it like every 7 days I think?

I can’t be bothered

[astral haven]

you can also pay apple a hundred bucks to make it 30 days lol

[steep creek]

lmao

[pale sigil]

Ah the wonderful method of doing it every 7 days

[steep creek]

I tried setting it up once, it was a headache to word it mildly

[astral haven]

on apple you cant get your own app working compiled on a mac for more than 30 days
on android, an android can compile or recompile its own apps and install them without external intervention at all

[steep creek]

Yea, xcode is okay and all but I wish it was available for windows

[pale sigil]

It's very unlikely I would use an iPhone these days or since the 5/6s

iPad wise I do miss it a lot

[steep creek]

iPad im very happy with, phone even but its these restrictions

[astral haven]

work iphone
i get to use the iphone for just things that the iphone is ok at
altho missing t9 dialing has pissed me off endlessly

also contact management is atrocious

[steep creek]

Ah I just search for the name or number in spotlight search and call / text directly from there

[pale sigil]

I'll be honest

I hadn't used t9 dial since ancient times

[astral haven]

doesnt work

[steep creek]

That’s odd, ive always done it this way

[astral haven]

it only works for apple contacts

icloud or local

[steep creek]

I just created a random one just now appeared hm

[steep creek]

That’s strange, maybe it’s work policy? I’m clueless

[pale sigil]

This used to be a thing for me also on my iPad

[steep creek]

Yea I have it on all devices that have spotlight search

[astral haven]

i think its just we hate google

[steep creek]

Probably

[astral haven]

and if you search within the phone app it doesnt appear

[unkempt lake]

It autosyncs

If you're on the same network

I dont think about it personally

Im in NA anyways so the fancy EU stuff never applied to me

[steep creek]

It does appear for me in the phone app, but I’ll admit I don’t use this app much

[cursive summit]

Ehh.. 399..?

They are very meh cards

I guess since 7800XT is still supposed to be 500$, 400$ is fine

[steep creek]

I just tried to remove the phone number and add just an email to see if that was the culprit, but still appears, just that I can only text now

[unkempt lake]

@steep creek well now you can pay 1.5 euros to get it without the hassle i guess

I didn't see the altserver setup as a big hassle

Takes... 5 mins tops?

[astral haven]

the problem is the contact is in google contacts, not directly in apple

[steep creek]

I did this years ago, back then it wasn’t fun. Could have been its changed now

[pale sigil]

I'm unsure how you are able to resign it every 7 days without running the application on desktop

[unkempt lake]

And then just autorun the server have it sync over wifi when both devices are on

[steep creek]

Oh I see that makes sense now, I missed that part earlier

[unkempt lake]

Run the server at startup

[astral haven]

as i said lol

[unkempt lake]

Barely takes any ressources so

You have a 6 core 12t cpu i think you can run a small application that doesn't even have a gui

[cursive summit]

I don't quite recall, does a copyright claim result in a strike

[pale sigil]

Surprised you remembered.

[cursive summit]

If it does, MLiD got a strike

[rough patrol]

Strikes like this are very easy to fake

[unkempt lake]

I have a good memory lmao

[rough patrol]

Anyone can call themselves sony and strike 🙂

[cursive summit]

Yeah but unlikely

[unkempt lake]

But it only works when i need to remember really useless things like this

[rough patrol]

So take it with a grain of salt

[pale sigil]

Copyright strike the copyright strikers

Got it

[unkempt lake]

Moore's law is dead is kind of a meme tho i'll say

A lot of his predictions are... just dumb

[astral haven]

being like this is so dumb
people doing bad things should be done in for the bad things they do, not for other stuff
i mean getting criminals for tax fraud is cool and all but getting leakers for copyright is wrong
get them for leaking things, thats patent law not copyright

[cursive summit]

I don't remember the last time MLiD was correct in anything

I am still annoyed I believed in his claims that Ryzen 5000 will have 4-way-SMT

Never again

[unkempt lake]

Remember his 7900xtx is a 4090 competitor "leak"

[cursive summit]

For leaks, I like Tom Henderson nowadays

He does gaming but also tech sometimes

Jason Schreier sometimes also collaborates Henderson's claims

[astral haven]

trusting any 1 source for such massive enterprises is a bit yikes

but ill be yikes for trusting quin to do the hard work for me lel

[ashen spindle]

[steep creek]

lmao

[ashen spindle]

it's about time we get something to release so I can finally make sure the sources I think are trustworthy are that or not

computex now please

[astral haven]

i mean is there anything with zen 5 that isnt just previous but better as rumors?

[ashen spindle]

there are some specifics about what changed that some people say, then on strix we get rdna3.5 so that should show how bad og rdna3 ended up as well as intel stuff about ARL/LNL

[astral haven]

oh right strix
anything more about halo or is that done?

[ashen spindle]

its still coming but likely at CES

[cursive summit]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1c6hjb3/wife_told_me_to_get_a_battery_bank/

Nice, +2 hours of battery life

[astral haven]

i low key want a minisforum v3
a thicker v3 with strix halo would be insanity

but if noone buys the v3 now, then there wont be a halo version

[ashen spindle]

idk if that is really something that would fit in a v3 even if a bit thicker

that is a much bigger power enevelope

[wheat plume]

I want v3 too.....it's so awesome

😍

[astral haven]

you remember the laptops with vega m gh right?

[ashen spindle]

yeah but not what tdp those were

[astral haven]

100w

[ashen spindle]

hm i guess that is not too far away from 125W

[cursive summit]

I wonder if Strix Halo can be stuffed into a minibox, tin can sized

And how much would that even cost

That kind of power in a tiny ass package would be incredible for portable PCs

[astral haven]

people were very unhappy with them because they couldnt even keep battery full on standard 100w usb c chargers
cause even tho 100w was the tdp, they actually used that much

[ashen spindle]

Yeah no clue how its with halo, 125W TDP and some G14 or something for this years model increased tdp to it because they'll just use that model but what the actual power draw will be idk

[cursive summit]

How much physically larger will the halo die size be with the bunch of extra CUs

[ashen spindle]

yes

[cursive summit]

That sounds great

[astral haven]

with halo, id expect the tdp of 125w to be like the 28w of the ryzen U series, sure there will be a bunch of laptops with that, but there can be lower tdp to maximize efficiency

im gonna guess that the sweet spot in terms of fps/watt is gonna end up under 70% the max tdp whatever that ends up being

[ashen spindle]

I imagine if halo is not teased at computex we probably get info at FAD24 that's like the same month

since last time they even teased zen5 althought without much info

[astral haven]

🤞

[ashen spindle]

computex could be a lot, depending on what does get shwon this year

zen5, rdna4, strix, bmg, arl/lnl

nvidia maybe some teaser even

[astral haven]

very interesting that sony is ditching oled, keeping the same power draw, and getting 3x the brightness...
https://electronics.sony.com/tv-video/televisions/all-tvs/p/k65xr90

[ashen spindle]

nah they arent ditching it they just dont have a refreshed oled series out yet

they arent going all in but also not ditching it

[astral haven]

this is their new flagship

sure they have newer oled models underneath but its interesting that the flagship isnt

[ashen spindle]

I saw the video from I think it was DW? where the guy hinted at something coming later the year and that they still couldn't talk about everything they saw at the sony presentation in january

ah no it was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCGczOFV_IY

[cursive summit]

Sony makes TVs?

Why would I bother with Sony over Samsung or LG?

[ashen spindle]

because they make some of the best?

[cursive summit]

I've never heard of Sony ever being recommended

They at least do Android TV over the shite that is Tizian or LG webOS?

[ashen spindle]

idk dont care about that

[cursive summit]

Huh, miniled TVs

[wheat plume]

WebOS refused to automatically update apps on my uncle's TV
Despite enabling the setting since first turning on the TV

Anytime he opens YouTube it begs for an update and he has to ask me to update the app for him

[ashen spindle]

and if you ever looked at rtings they have sony on theirs lits obviously

[wheat plume]

.-.

[cursive summit]

Well I suppose I'll remember that Sony does TVs and I shouldn't just look for another LG eventually

[wheat plume]

Google are still riding on that high from how many new Premium subscribers they got when they killed off Vanced

[steep creek]

Tbf sony google tv thing isn’t that bad, image quality is fantastic. My complaint would be remote uses ir blaster only, at least the a90k I have

[wheat plume]

Now they are confident they can take down ad blockers too

[cursive summit]

When's affordable microled coming out

[oak herald]

Fr

[lyric hatch]

Not anytime soon

Bout to be the next oled

First oled TV 2007 still questionable on the affordable part

[astral haven]

except for oled there was a theory about how to make them cheap that was already in commercial production

[warped gull]

@ashen spindle Wait until you find out who actually makes Sony's panels ... 💀

[halcyon moss]

theres a lot more to it than just panels these days

[civic hatch]

[ashen spindle]

Not sure why that’s a ping for me I know who’s making the panels lol doesn’t change they can result in having better tvs than others using the same panel

[warped gull]

Oh I'm sure there's some in -house color calibrating, but the panels themselves are doing the heavy lifting, picture wise.

[warped gull]

very marginal, and "better" in what metrics?

[ashen spindle]

better backlight for example on their new miniled flagships?

[warped gull]

That's a very recent development, by JDI, but at least they're finally making their own stuff. For years Sony relied on LG and Samsung for WOLED/ QD-OLED, with little to no gains.

[ashen spindle]

and if they are the same but have better prices or sound or idk just better calibration anything then they are still a better option ¯_(ツ)_/¯ or at worst equally one of the best still

never said they are ahead of anyone by much

[warped gull]

Theyre not, their OLED lines are roughly 10-15% more expensive than their LG/ Samsung counterparts. If they can mass manufacture in house then yeah, they can be more competitive. It makes sense that LG / Samsung beats them in the price wars as they are selling the panels to Sony. Economies of scale and all.

[ashen spindle]

that's not always the case, different regions have different pricing often

[warped gull]

Haha ok... maybe in Japan only would you get it cheaper, as Samsung and LG would be imports in that country, everywhere else it's accurate.

[ashen spindle]

and it's not quite right that they beat sony due to inhouse production because samsung panels still sell them to samsung tv as separate entities, thats why for example the first qdoled were not from samsung but dell

nah other regions too, australia and canada get weird pricing for tech often and even in europe sometimes models are more expensive and thus making otherwise expensive competition the cheaper option

[warped gull]

that doesnt even make sense

No, in all regions except Japan, Sony is more expensive. And not even always in Japan.

[ashen spindle]

what doesnt make sense? Samsung display is a separate entity from samsung electronics that just exists under the same umbrella

[warped gull]

They're not completely separate, they will still sell their own panels in house more cheaply vs their competitors. That's why I'm right about the pricing.

[ashen spindle]

ok

[latent mural]

Anyone ever has issues with Corsair AF 120mm fans making bad bearing noise?? (Ik it’s not a wooting thing, just curious.) 3 out of 9 of the fans make this awful rattle/bearing clicky sound when at certain speeds and they’re only a few months old

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-and-msi-confirm-next-gen-amd-ryzen-cpus-support-with-latest-amd-600-motherboard-firmware

[reef patrol]

Yeah it can happen to any fan. If it's only a few months record a video and contact the seller for a warranty replacement.

I have two Corsair fans that sometimes when I turn on the PC will rattle. Then I have to open the side panel and poke them a few times, then they go back to normal for a few weeks.

[vagrant pagoda]

Corsair has pretty iffy doa rates for me

I gave up on them anwhile ago

[latent mural]

I filed a warranty claim earlier, it’s just annoying spending so much on “elite” fans just to have 3 of them cause issues like this within less than 6 months.

[reef patrol]

Beats having issues just after the two year warranty expires.

[vagrant pagoda]

Buddy built a 1000d with all Corsair fans

And after like the 5th failure he replaced them all

[latent mural]

I’m thinking of switching to those Lian-Li fans eventually, those ones that just link up without having to use cables to attach em

[reef patrol]

Corsair's link fans don't look as good as the ones I have currently. 😦

[latent mural]

Words of the wise Mansen never fault uwu

[vagrant pagoda]

Always been a noctual shill

[latent mural]

The AF Elites look sick too but those LianLi fans look simple and pretty to me o: plus they’d match the O11 Dynamic I got

[steep creek]

Same, replaced all my case fans with noctua ones recently

[reef patrol]

I have the LL120s, and those look amazing. Nothing has managed to beat them for my visual preferences. Sadly.

[vagrant pagoda]

Only time they ever let me down was the OG p14s started to randomly lose blades like 5 years in

[reef patrol]

Kind of tired of having 18 wires for the fans, including three controller devices 😄

[vagrant pagoda]

And I'll be damned if they didn't replace eight fans completely out of warranty

[latent mural]

Those are indeed pretty o:

[vagrant pagoda]

The crazy thing is the fans minus one blade were still pretty quiet

[steep creek]

Sometimes I can’t even tell if the pc is on, fans are great

[vagrant pagoda]

This is why I have custom wired my fans for the last like 20 years

I shorten the wires and make custom harnesses

[reef patrol]

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/13/how-to-stop-dropbox-from-sharing-your-personal-files-with-openai.html

Oh fun!

[latent mural]

Yep, hence why daisy chains by LianLi sound so enticing, plus I heard they move a lot more air at lower dB

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't help in my case.

[vagrant pagoda]

How

[reef patrol]

Big case.

Most of the fans need to have the length of wire they have. And would still end up with 18 wires for all of the fans sans controllers.

[vagrant pagoda]

All the fans don't have to be individually plugged in you know that right

I doubt you running a different RPM on every single fan

[latent mural]

Yeah I got two Corsair commanders in my case, it’s not fun to cable manage everything

[vagrant pagoda]

And with dumb RGB you can just chain them all together, and aRGB only a single wire has to be different between the fans

[latent mural]

Corsair fans have a power cable 4-pin, and a separate RGB 3-pin cable

[final flame]

Mega should start advertising

[dire trail]

I plugged my wooting into some converters and only the windows key works is it because wooting is too new for that converter hardware addon that it doesn’t support

[reef patrol]

Will probably have to disable nKRO

[dire trail]

What’s that

[reef patrol]

you wire multiple fans into one with harness

https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_pura_70_ultra-12940.php
dang thats some sweet camera hardware
f1.6 on a 1 inch sensor, I think thats the most light for a phone sensor yet?
then a 90mm macro that seems to be pretty solid reproduction wise

[final flame]

Sadly, although the viewing distance would be fine for movie use

Can't wait for 8k displays at that size though

[astral haven]

Yea

I'd love a 55 inch 8k120 that supported quad 4k120 input rather than just single

I'd use that as a monitor

[final flame]

Yea that'd be great

48" would be the perfect size at 8k

4 4k 24inch inputs

[astral haven]

Eh 24 is a bit too small for 4k imo

You'd be very very close to the middle and very very far from the corners

Maybe odyssey ark Gen 3

[final flame]

I like pixel density, even if you're the proper distance away all it takes is to move your chair or something to get too close

[cursive summit]

https://www.techspot.com/news/102659-logitech-thinks-computer-mouse-needs-ai-upgrade.html

That is pretty shite innovation

[sweet cairn]

Companies try not to use AI for everything challenge

[astral haven]

thats fair, but im generally ok with 1440p27 native, 4k27 i bump to 1.25 or 1.5x
and on such a big screen its probably a pain to sit that close
now if it were 32:9? maybe 8k horizontal at 49 inches, but on a 16:9?

[final flame]

I ideally would like about 140ppi
I find that's the sweet spot, dense enough to where you can be too close, but won't be wasting too much resolution if you're too far

48 at 4k is 91ppi

[astral haven]

again tho, bigger screen is different

the angle to the edges of the screen is insane when you are that close

thats why i mentioned the crazy curves

i really dont care about ppi, gimme PPD

[final flame]

Curved displays are a bit different, ppi matters less

[distant tapir]

I wish 24 inch 1440p were more normal.

[pale sigil]

I wish 16:10 was normal

[distant tapir]

But people are falling for the 'that's too small for that resolution!!' memes.

[astral haven]

4k27 with black bars

[ashen spindle]

Think that is on the oled roadmap for one vendor next year or this year

Or maybe im mixing that up with 4K at lower size

[distant tapir]

They're doing 4k at 27 inches. I don't know if I have seen 1440p at 24 inches.

Make it 480 Hz and I'll be interested.

[astral haven]

480hz 1440p is gonna be 27 inch in 2025

and afaik theres zero plan for any 24 inchers at all

[fierce terrace]

you already got 360hz 1440p oled

its not that much of a difference to 480hz

[astral haven]

have you tried 480hz?

[final flame]

I really want a bezeless 13 inch OLED, I've only seen one and it's from a random brand

Everything else has a mega chin

[astral haven]

like a laptop or a monitor

[final flame]

Monitor

[ashen spindle]

I want oled with 480hz and higher brightness so I can use BFI at acceptable contrast and 240hz refresh at least lol

[fierce terrace]

ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDP expected release august/september this year

[ashen spindle]

360hz would only do 180hz bfi

[astral haven]

but thats only for 50% duty cycle

[ashen spindle]

It would be a nice start not saying that’s endgame

[astral haven]

yea
what id really like is actual bfi support native to the panels

[distant tapir]

I love anti-progressive statements like these.

Also I'm not doing a jump from 360 to 480 but 120 to 480.

That's not far off from the difference you get by going 60 to 120.

[fierce terrace]

id rather buy 360hz now than wait idk how many months to buy 480hz

[astral haven]

my next hype "display" is the pimax

[final flame]

https://a.co/d/gqVOJ7t

This is what I want

[astral haven]

oh yea i really wish folks would make oled monitor sized touchscreens

https://pimax.com/product/pimax-crystal-super-reservation-fee/

4kx4k per eye, uoled or lcd swappable

[distant tapir]

Are they using BFI?

The Valve Index has insane strobing.

Super clear motion.

I know the Apple headset doesn't have any form of motion blur reduction. What a terrible idea.

[ashen spindle]

And yet the index has really annoying blooming of bright stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

dont need strobing on oled

[astral haven]

thats most certainly not true
its id estimate in the 2ms range

[astral haven]

show me the 20khz oled lol

[distant tapir]

[distant tapir]

I've heard it doesn't have any.

I haven't tried one myself.

[vagrant pagoda]

pixel switching on oled is fast enough

strobing it isnt going to help lol

[astral haven]

ive tried it and ive tried the dk1 before
the vision pro absolutely has MBR

it made me sick slowly rather than nearly instantly

[astral haven]

no its not

[distant tapir]

That's response times.

Not persistence which is where motion blur comes from.

[vagrant pagoda]

stobing an oled isnt going to fix it is what im saying

[astral haven]

again wrong

[brisk sandal]

guys can analog movement be turned off on the 60he?

like if i want it to work just like a normal keyboard

[distant tapir]

https://blurbusters.com/gtg-versus-mprt-frequently-asked-questions-about-display-pixel-response/

[astral haven]

the cv1 was perfectly fine, with its 1ms of persistence using strobing

[vagrant pagoda]

high end oled is down to 7ms or less persistence, lower than a stobed lcd

[astral haven]

lol

what do you think the index is

[distant tapir]

?!

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[distant tapir]

Valve Index has 0,3 ms MPRT I think.

Much better than any OLED.

[astral haven]

"Valve Index displays have a reduced illumination period of 0.330ms to 0.530ms (framerate dependent), allowing imagery to remain just as sharp when your head is in motion as when you're standing still. This is a 5x improvement over first-generation PC VR HMDs."

[vagrant pagoda]

is it in the mouse or just shovelware on the pc though

[final flame]

All I want is an MX master with 1000hz polling and no soft touch finish

[astral haven]

logitech is doing the shovelware, but i want the built in

[astral haven]

that would be nice, but bolt doesnt support 1khz 😦

[sharp badger]

Would be nice

[astral haven]

actually is it even possible to use the bluetooth protocol for mice over 125 hz?

[sharp badger]

That Pimax headset is interesting 🤓

[astral haven]

swappable display technologies is awesome, i just hope they actually make it

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[final flame]

Don't think so for now, should be able to though considering what we see in the audio space

[smoky frigate]

good satire has a kernel of truth in it

[primal pagoda]

Yo

I see this is tech talk

Does anyone know why consoles charge a subscription to play online games

I never understood that

How come no one charges pc players to play online games 😳

[ashen spindle]

because they can get away with it

[primal pagoda]

Ah I see

[ashen spindle]

also for the most part consoles are sold at a loss usually so they have to make money make from cuts on game sales on online things

[primal pagoda]

Gotnit

That makes sense

So the cost of using a Playstation for. 4 years isn't really 500

It's $750

[ashen spindle]

I mean that depends

[astral haven]

unless you dont need the online

[ashen spindle]

I dont play multiplayer on my ps5

[primal pagoda]

Got it. I sold my ps5 cause I wasn't really using it after building my pc.

Regretted it a bit cause I wanted to play ghost of tsushima

And now it's coming on pc 😳

[ashen spindle]

also they do add in games in online so unless you already have everything you want to play you can get more value from it so it's not just straight up costs

but its depends case by case

[primal pagoda]

So it's like the printer situation

You don't make a lot of money selling printers

The main dough is selling cartridges for the printers

[astral haven]

pretty much

[ashen spindle]

partly yea

[astral haven]

tho mostly consoles make money on games, but now that people are buying fewer games, they are trying to make money other ways

[lucid kettle]

i'm making a 'startup usb' for when i need to factory reset my computer, anyone have any programs that they can't live without?

other than drivers, i'm including programs like autoruns and autohotkey that are very useful

[wheat plume]

but yeah, Gnome relies on Headerbars in their UI design

where instead of a titlebar + menubar at the top of an app window, there is the window buttons such as close, min and max and then other app specific buttons and widgets too

you can see the headerbar here in the calendar app pretty well

Kinda pointless honestly but hopefully more people are aware of this

iPhones and android phones have a lockdown function

Therefore disabling fingerprint unlock

[gentle spear]

do you think i should be good if i get a warranty on it on best buy?

also is the motion clarity still good without the pure xp stuff

i heard that it gives a noticable input delay

its the only one i see on 1080 240hz recommendations my pc cant run 1440

[zenith silo]

Yeah I usually don't use it on mine

It's great without purexp, but it's noticeably better with it

[fierce terrace]

if you can return it for free and you dont care about your time then sure go for it

but im pretty sure it will suffer from backlight bleeding just in the same places on your screen

[fierce terrace]

if you are not buying this monitor only for pure xp thing then you should consider other cheaper and better options with better qc

[open steppe]

Remember on iPhone you can spam your power button to force code verification

On Android you will have to restart, first boot will always require code activation and WON'T hold auth keys in memory

So if you're about to be pulled over in the US, just do that

[ashen spindle]

Or just don’t use fingerprint unlock in the first place

[open steppe]

It's convinience over security, if you do some shady shit with your phone, sure, but I wouldn't trade the convinience of faceid or fingerprint just for those 3 times in your life where you get pulled over

[ashen spindle]

Idk I don’t find it that inconvenient and never tried faceid or fingerprint anyway

Not because there’s anything on my phone I just dislike using biometric data for something that simple

[reef patrol]

FaceID is so convenient. And there is the panic disable.

[open steppe]

It's just so much faster, you pick up your phone and it's already unlocked and ready to be used, by you and only you.
It sounds like very little time, but remember it's time that applies every single time you use your phone

[ashen spindle]

Sounds like it’s time to use the phone less

[steep creek]

You can just press the power button and volume up button, disables face id right away and requires passcode to re enable

[reef patrol]

That's... what I just alluded to.

thats 500

it does but why would you buy a monitor designed for using backlight strobing to not use it at all?

idk about us market acer is cheap in the eu

[cursive summit]

Half MSRP?

500$?

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

[cursive summit]

I'd take that deal

[vagrant pagoda]

It's an expensive paperweight if it burns up the slot

[cursive summit]

Aren't those particular pins not too important though

[vagrant pagoda]

But actually my biggest if is that it's a reference card and it may have the bad vapor chamber

No? Rdna2 had no such issues at all

That was contained to one batch of rdna3 coolers

And those are also fine to use when you just keep them one orientation anyway

So yeah
Why not make it

[ashen spindle]

because you can make like 1 video encompassing what he puts into 5 lmao

[wheat plume]

Then it's like an hour or longer

[ashen spindle]

obviously not just cutting them together as is...

but if you make one big one you dont need to reintroduce it every time etc.

show performance in the same segment as you show performance on windows etc.

He should have skipped the spec list yeah

[astral haven]

it has a different screen, and the different screen size makes different things more or less visible

[cursive summit]

On the topic of this

[ashen spindle]

the screen changes when you install steamos??

[cursive summit]

Wasn't SteamOS 3 STILL not available as an official ISO?

It's some homemade rip of the OS?

[ashen spindle]

im talking about him having multiple videos about the same hardware, not steamos on minisforum vs on steam deck

[astral haven]

the performance did didnt it?

so you cant use different hardware with steamos to compare

[ashen spindle]

idk but that can still all be fit into one 30 min video and more

[astral haven]

and you cant use windows on the same hardware to compare

[ashen spindle]

instead of 5 10 minute ones

[wheat plume]

You can use bazzite for now!

[astral haven]

sure but people dont watch 30 minute videos, and if someone wants a specific part, they wont have to search through a 30 minute video for it

[wheat plume]

Basically the same thing

[cursive summit]

Bazinga what

[turbid summit]

Anyone knows a good monitor that’s not to expensive?

[ashen spindle]

if its longer than tiktok attention of a few seconds then its doing fine being 20-30 instead of 10 minutes too

the only channel that actually tests that is jimmy beast's team, and they explained how exactly viewership retention works
if you put a part of the video that noone wants to watch in the middle, you have effectively deleted everything after that
if you make a bad video, it will only tank your channel in the short term

Unironically I bet some people would get mistakenly charged sums like that by Cloudflare, and they prolly couldn't care less

Cloudflare is, afaik, very well regarded in the industry

[wheat plume]

Yeh for sure
It's pretty damn nice

[astral haven]

people will still eventually watch the videos after, and only the bad part is gone if you have it in separate videos

[crimson wigeon]

Nice but I'm not particularly keen on how much the internet relies on Cloudflare right now

[cursive summit]

Maybe that's the plan, unmonetize until you monetize and everyone is forced to pay you

[reef patrol]

Holy shit

[cursive summit]

On that note I was also wondering

How much traffic does that consume lol, 5770 emails

To a bunch of people probably too

[reef patrol]

Nothing. But it should have flagged some system very, very early on.

[cursive summit]

Thanks, Twitter

Those are great gaming news

[astral haven]

akami, all of the cloud host cdn/ddos protection, fastly
im pretty sure that akami handles massively more traffic, cloudflare only has more websites because its available for free...

[crimson wigeon]

Can't beat free

[cursive summit]

Did someone say beatings???

[astral haven]

if you have a better service that is also free...

[fair gull]

having used cloudflare for a while now i wouldnt know how theyd mistakenly charge me tbh

they dont really offer anything that could run amok

then again i (like many others) mainly use them for DNS

and proxying the traffic

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe if you do something silly with workers and stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

Akamai actually turns a profit, unlike cloud flare

[fair gull]

you can setup billing notifications and just looked at their prices and youd basically have to ammass mega ddos on it which would mean cloudflare should keep you safe as they offer ddos protection

[vagrant pagoda]

Akamai handles Nintendo and Sony console content

[fair gull]

id assume if you somehow run into getting DDoS'd and cloudflare doesnt catch it youd get the bill voided or such

[vagrant pagoda]

As well as iTunes and appstorr last i saw

And Azure uses Akamai for CDN

[fair gull]

akamai and cloudflare arent comparable imo... ones mainly CDN while the other focuses on DNS/Proxy/DDoS stuff

[vagrant pagoda]

So id image MS uses it for Xbox too

Everything Cloudflare offers, Akamai offers

It's just all paid

[fair gull]

theres more catches to akamai

like not being able to read up on docs beforehand

commitment is 12months+

and some other "issues"

[vagrant pagoda]

They are old tech not new silicon valley tech

[fair gull]

yes but they also target different users

[vagrant pagoda]

Exactly

They only want Fortune 500

One of their founders was Israeli and died from the hijackers on one of the 911 planes trying to stop them

[fair gull]

id also say cloudflare isnt what most of the net relies on but amazon webservices

amazon prob doesnt even have many customers... its just that their customers.... have shit tons of customers themselves

[vagrant pagoda]

But amazon.com uses Akamai for threat protection

[fair gull]

i mean yeah idk if aws even offers smth like that

its funny that even google isnt as big as aws when it comes to serving the web

google is just on like 99% of websites due to analytics tools

[vagrant pagoda]

Nah YouTube is throughout king

[fair gull]

ah crap i always forget google owns it

[vagrant pagoda]

Google has the most data capacity, most servers, most data center square footage, and is the single largest owner of fiber

Google gobbled up every darkfiber it could get its hands on in the 2000s

It's how YouTube is free

Google is the king of peering too

[fair gull]

having been part of the datahorder community and abusing googles 20eur/month for infinite cloud storage on enterprise workspace plans... yes

i had hundreds of TB on there

[vagrant pagoda]

I wouldn't doubt that Google's fiber network would be a large percentage of the total

But it's all private so who knows

[fair gull]

in the US for sure

[vagrant pagoda]

World wide

They have fiber everywhere

Run some out bound trace routes on Google cloud

[frozen ingot]

am sure that's not an issue in a 3 ton vehicle shaped like a garbage container doing 0-60 in 3 or so seconds

[halcyon moss]

I saw the vid of that.. That's scary shit!

There is a piece on to the pedal.. And that can slide up locking it in place

[analog sinew]

maybe we can organize a meeting at the grand canyon

and they all get yeeted in

[fair gull]

so nothing an angle grinder cant fix

[analog sinew]

do you think cybertruck owners can operate power tools

[fair gull]

good point

[ashen spindle]

not every person with too much money is a trustfund baby

[fair gull]

nothing a buttler with an angle grinder cant fix

better @analog sinew ?

[ashen spindle]

there we go

[zenith silo]

Anyone buying a cyber truck is a tool, but they probably don't know how to use one

[smoky frigate]

https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-no-match-for-car-wash-1851417011

apparently you can't even safely wash them

[zenith silo]

Nah that can't be real

I know Tesla's have bad build quality but what

[steep creek]

lol https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/cybertruck/en_us/GUID-65384C1F-86F2-44E8-A8BC-8A12E7E00A40.html

[zenith silo]

I won't ever buy a newer vehicle

Newest I'll go is early 2000s

I'ma keep my 06 Corolla xrs as long as I can

[smoky frigate]

CAUTION! DO NOT EXPOSE THE CYBERTRUCK TO SUNLIGHT WHILE WASHING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

[zenith silo]

I'll revive that thing a dozen times before I sell it

[smoky frigate]

I bought a 2009 car a few months ago and I'm confident it's the last good car I'll ever own

it's gonna be buggery from here on out

[zenith silo]

My 06 Corolla has had 270k on it and has only costed us 7k in repairs last year

The thing was abused since 06 and never needed anything

[smoky frigate]

7000 us dollaridoos? holy shit

[zenith silo]

Cad

[wheat plume]

7k in repairs...thats double the price of my car

[zenith silo]

7k after 18 years of abuse and little to no maintenance

[wheat plume]

oh

yikes

[zenith silo]

Id say that's pretty good...

[smoky frigate]

that's still okay I think, but 3.5k eurodollars repair costs per year was when I junked my last car

[zenith silo]

That car has saved my life on multiple occasions it deserves the TLC

It's also a 6 speed manual, so I'm entirely fine with giving it the money needed to live for a lot longer

[zenith silo]

7k CAD after 18 years of no maintenance isn't bad at all

The big cost was from when we had to go over a few curbs to get away from forest fires

Bent the strut tower a bit but nothing too bad

[smoky frigate]

I had put a lot of work into decorating my last one, was not an easy decision to retire it

[zenith silo]

That little 2zz is a trooper, still running great

[zenith silo]

Cool decal

Is that a wrap or a sticker?

[smoky frigate]

wrap, it's my job

[zenith silo]

Looks good

[smoky frigate]

the other side was a lot more detailed but no pictures of it remain lol

[zenith silo]

My little Corolla is old and slow but it's rare and a 6 speed

I love that little thing

[smoky frigate]

oh that's based for long distances

[zenith silo]

I think less than 7k of that model were ever produced

God I sound like a corvette owner

[smoky frigate]

mine was a mitsubishi and I am fairly sure I wil avoid that brand forever now. it managed to break things that I never even heard of

average rate of failure every 3-6 months

[zenith silo]

Mitsubishi has some good vehicles but they are a bit older

[zenith silo]

That's wild

[smoky frigate]

they should have stuck to making kamikaze planes

[zenith silo]

Hey they had some bangers

[smoky frigate]

right into the target audience

[zenith silo]

The Galant, starion, the evos

And the kei trucks ofc

[smoky frigate]

I've always been particular to the "space wagon" for the name alone

[zenith silo]

The 4g63 is a legendary platform

[smoky frigate]

I'm sticking to the VW until that thing croaks, and if fate allows it, get to drive another good car maybe

[karmic phoenix]

evs are a joke

[astral haven]

cars in general are a joke

[ashen spindle]

cybertruck breaking has exactly nothing in commong with it being EV

[astral haven]

well, its highly correlated
its breaking bc its tesla, and its ev because its tesla 😛

[karmic phoenix]

Not the ones who goes vroom

[astral haven]

especially the ones who go vroom

[zenith silo]

shutup carm

cars that go vroom are 👌

[astral haven]

nah, gimme the brap or the thump thump thump

[zenith silo]

they are all good

vrooms, braps, thumps

[astral haven]

eh being a joke and being good are different

[zenith silo]

even the angry group of mosquitos we love em all

[astral haven]

its all funney

[ashen spindle]

install soundboard and your ev goes vroom

[zenith silo]

boring

[steep creek]

i dont want vroom i want silence lol

[zenith silo]

i dont like silence

[steep creek]

preference

[zenith silo]

your preference isnt mine so its wrong!111!!!

[steep creek]

yea true

[smoky frigate]

guilt guilt, judge

[fair gull]

anyone know how i can speedup ffmpeg stream copying

[smoky frigate]

other than getting faster storage?

could try playing with the thread_queue_size option

[fair gull]

yeah well cant really just go and buy 6tb SSDs to replace my ironwolfs

[ashen spindle]

I mean

server SSDs are decent price

[fair gull]

this also sadly doesnt really do much for a direct copy operation

[ashen spindle]

still hating myself I didnt grab the 8tb ssds for 350€

[umbral heron]

If you have lots of ram and video files aren't big you can always make tmpfs partition

[fair gull]

i mean i grabbed these disks for 100eur a pop

[smoky frigate]

not bad for professional data shredding appliances

[fair gull]

6.4tb lowest i could find working is like 400eur or up

so definitely not gonna replace the spinning metal anytime soon

[smoky frigate]

you could speed them up with RAID maybe, but seagate...

[fair gull]

or you know this really well insured and packaged ssd for 200eur

[smoky frigate]

does it come covered in more expensive SSDs for packaging?

[fair gull]

ssd packaged in ssd's

[vagrant pagoda]

just got a 2zz donor lol

like last week

[zenith silo]

what you got it in?

the 2zz came in 3 models i know of

[vagrant pagoda]

some kit swapped it into a celica gt

[zenith silo]

ohh nice

[vagrant pagoda]

its a jdm 2zz with the c60

im hoping it has a lsd

as it dose have the 9200 limiter of a jdm ecu

[zenith silo]

exact setup my corolla comes with from factory

that tranny is fun

[vagrant pagoda]

so

paid like nothing

as it a super beater ricer

[zenith silo]

so long as the drivetrains good thats a nice deal

[vagrant pagoda]

hot boi special

[zenith silo]

beater ricer indeed....

[vagrant pagoda]

and 5-6 were not working

turns out its the shifter

[zenith silo]

[vagrant pagoda]

if i push as hard as i can to where i think im going to break the shifter

it goes into 5th and 6th

[zenith silo]

might be the synchros

[vagrant pagoda]

its the cables

gotta push hard to the side

up and down are normal

[oak herald]

Woah we car talking now?

[zenith silo]

ah, my synchro on 3rd is starting to go, if im not in the right rpm range its a bit rough going in

[oak herald]

I drive Miata. 🙂

[fair gull]

i know that issue.... always gets me when shifting into rally

[vagrant pagoda]

also the interior is gutted

and the seats are self tapped to the floor

[zenith silo]

shit photo i found on google but this is my car in the same color

its basic, but its rare and i love the thing

fun little car, not that fast though lol

[oak herald]

It's okay. Miata is slower lol.

[vagrant pagoda]

is it the sc one or na

[vagrant pagoda]

the sc corolla is the rare rare

[zenith silo]

na 😦

at some point in time i might fuck around and turbo it

[vagrant pagoda]

this is going in a death trap

buddy had another guy try and swap a 1zz mr2 into a china go card/sxs

loads of issue so i wanted new donor with less shit

[zenith silo]

2zz is certainly a good choice

that little thing can take some abuse

idk how well it boosts or anything

but it certainly can last a while

[oak herald]

https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/12/3-6l-four-cylinder-engine-with-gm-ls-head-makes-500-lb-ft-of-torque/

Wish this crate engine would release already.

[zenith silo]

340hp 500ft lbs

pretty impressive

how high does it rev?

[oak herald]

No clue. Pretty sure it's just a concept those guys are working on.

But they've received massive positive feedback on it. Hopefully they're still working on it.

[vagrant pagoda]

who wants a 3.4l i4 though

[oak herald]

I would! I just love 4cyls tho. K swaps are overdone and expensive especially for such little gain. Only other cheap swap people do with Miatas are like Ford ecotecs. But again, not enough power. I want 4 cyl with POWER
