[vagrant pagoda]

actual best miata swap is v6 gm, you cant change my mind

but the coolest is still v8 or dorito

[oak herald]

I agree. Ever watch Taylor Ray on YouTube with his LS Miata? He's won many drift comps with it.

[sweet cairn]

Can anyone here help me troubleshoot an issue with my GPU?

Turned it on and monitor wouldnt turn on, not getting any signal. Boots fine if I plug the monitor into the MOBO instead of the GPU. The GPU is on though, the lights are on and the fans are moving, but the computer says the GPU is not detected. I tried to update the Nvidia drivers thinking maybe its a driver issue but I can't do that because it doesnt detect the GPU.

I'm gonna open the PC now and make sure it's slotted in properly, other than that, not really sure what else to try.

Yeah I tried all of them

HDMI and DP

on 2 monitors

ill give that a shot

weird, it literally was working fine yesterday when i shut it down and everything

It seems like it may have been a physical thing, its detecteed now and am trying to see if it completes this driver update

I just opened the PC and pushed down on the GPU to make sure it was slotted in properly

Really strange because I don't move my GPU and I have a sag bracket so behooves me how it got disconnected

We are back in business. Strange, unsure on if I should be concerned or not yet so well see if it happens again lmao

7800XT being popular makes no sense, GRE is just better

[ashen spindle]

cheaper, in stock, more models, one retailer

[cursive summit]

Price difference in mindfactory is 50 euros, that's more than worth it for better performance

There's half as much GRE models than XT it seems, but still a good selection

[ashen spindle]

current numbers =/= numbers in january

[lyric hatch]

meanwhile in the real world

[cursive summit]

RX 580 still best card

[ashen spindle]

ehh wouldnt call an extrapolated survey more real world than one retailers numbers either

[lyric hatch]

would say it's far more accurate than 1 german retail store

[ashen spindle]

depends what you want to use it for I guess

[lyric hatch]

what's steams total monthly average users 120 million?

[cursive summit]

Wasn't it like 40

Or was that concurrent

Ah that was concurrent

[ashen spindle]

it's also known it has issues counting some amd gpus accurately, as you can see theres almost no rdna3 on the list yet that sells way better than rdna2

and I doubt those are cards that go into non steam machines a lot lol

[lyric hatch]

sells way better according to who

[ashen spindle]

amd's earnings reports

[cursive summit]

Do those include Mi accelerators?

[ashen spindle]

...

take a guess if they put hyperscalers sales into client numbers

[cursive summit]

I have doubts RDNA3 sells well, better than RDNA2 especially

Not with all the negative stuff around RDNA3

[ashen spindle]

DIY isnt leading sales and ODMs dont matter much for low idle power or whatever

[cursive summit]

I fail to see where Radeon is selling

[rough patrol]

My case is kinda small and i have no clearance for all those new giant gpus

[lyric hatch]

"AMD says that gaming revenue dropped by 17% in 2023 versus 2022. But that's entirely down to slowing sales of games consoles, primarily the Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X and S, all of which are powered by AMD chips and are now beginning to age.

According to AMD's CEO Lisa Su (via Motley Fool), that declining console business, "was partially offset by increased sales of Radeon GPUs. In Gaming Graphics, revenue grew both year over year and sequentially, driven by strong demand in the channel for both our Radeon 6000 and Radeon 7000 series GPUs."

But she didn't say by how much. Without being overly cynical, we suspect that's because growth was modest. AMD would surely show off about the specifics, otherwise. Indeed, were the growth in Radeon sales fairly spectacular, you might expect it to entirely offset the dip in console silicon sales. But it hasn't. So it very likely isn't."

[cursive summit]

Prebuilts are very Nvidia

DIY is heavily Nvidia, like 80/20 ratio market split

Where on earth is AMD selling better

[rough patrol]

Why are all the new gpus hotter than the sun and need a cooler accordingly

[cursive summit]

We need a new Nano

Strix Halo could honestly be the reincarnation of Nano lol

If RDNA4 doesn't give us a new Nano

[lyric hatch]

7900 xtx is actually above the 6800 xt on the list

but the 4070 super which just came out is already nearly beating it

[ashen spindle]

yeah but I dont see any other rdna3 card on the list

[lyric hatch]

probably because they ain't selling that well

[cursive summit]

Which is sad cause mid-range was always the one that sells most

And Nvidias mid-range is godawful ass

[lyric hatch]

honestly I think if you really wanted a bang for your buck card one of the RDNA 2 cards second hand is a better option than mid range RDNA 3

[cursive summit]

RDNA2 hasn't fallen in price that much

And there are some good software features that RDNA3 offers that are hard to skimp on

GRE is looking great, though I have to contain myself until Computex lol

[umbral heron]

Only took me 3 hours #💬│general message

[cursive summit]

What took you 3 hours

I'm just seeing a bunch of linux nerd speech

Hold the fuck on

Why has nobody told me Nvidia is finally crashing

[umbral heron]

Getting Steam to work with shortcuts
Half of its configs are binary vdfs

[cursive summit]

With shortcuts?

Are you saying it took you, a linux user, 3 hours to figure out how to launch steam from a shortcut

Do you see what the problem is

[umbral heron]

No, adding an executable to Steam as a non-Steam app only through external script, with Steam being not involved whatsoever

[cursive summit]

What exactly do you mean by that, like, this?

[umbral heron]

Yup, but through script

[cursive summit]

But why

[umbral heron]

Because fully-automated installer

And I want to contribute and create some of my own projects for Steam Deck specifically
So I want to completely understand how Steam works underneath

[lyric hatch]

have you tried thishttps://github.com/boppreh/steamgrid

nice for adding images to steam for non steam games

[analog sinew]

yup

[umbral heron]

Yup, I played around both with this and the one from SteamGridDB
Still, I want to understand how it all works, and create an installer exclusively in one shell script

[lyric hatch]

yeah i know the feeling always good to figure out how to do stuff yourself

plus you can customize how you want it

[steep creek]

feels so nice when you manage to solve the problem

one of my favorite things

[pale sigil]

You can just use the decky plugin

[pale sigil]

Just use decky and live to see another day

XD

[umbral heron]

I've lost some hair on trying to configure Decky around Heroic, no, thanks

Almost done though, I'll do some testing, connect both scripts and it's probably ready to merge to master https://github.com/Calslock/wootinstaller/blob/gamemode-autoconf/gamemode.sh

https://www.meta.ai/

So, this is funny

Meta launches their own little AI thingy on the webz

[umbral heron]

[cursive summit]

This is actually funny lol

Oof

Yeah seems Llama 3 is far less censored than most models

I appreciate that, censorship is a big nono

[marsh glade]

This is an extremely good answer, what are you oofing?

[cursive summit]

That is a really damn good answer, which is a change from the usual shit answers of most AI models

[marsh glade]

Ooh

[cursive summit]

And the fact it's not just erroring just cause you mentioned "Hitler"

"Oh sorry I'm not willing to talk about this", like Bing and OpenAI always does

This looks like a proper model

Big up Yann LeCun, he gets a lot of flak for his views on AI, but he's defo a great scientist

[analog sinew]

but what about the guy that thinks some LLM is sentient

EK waterblocks?

Oofie

[reef patrol]

It looks bad, real bad.

[cursive summit]

This the new "Iiit's a reroll!" level of scandal?

What was that company, the prebuilt manufacturer

[reef patrol]

They have no liquid funds, it's all tied up on unsold products apparently.
So they're owing taxes, payroll and suppliers (for months)

And trying to sue employees talking about it is a bad look.

[fair gull]

i think windows has no idea what its talking about

[frozen ingot]

[fair gull]

cant yet

still need to copy a few more 100s of GB of mkv streams into new files

[atomic hornet]

Time to watch that video, GN drama, always a good day

[marsh glade]

Yea he gets spicey

[reef patrol]

Hard not to. EK really fucked up.

[atomic hornet]

Seems so, this sounds like the type of thing that could very well be the end of them.

[cursive summit]

I wonder how much value is really lost

Not much, probably

Though on a positive note

These are really damn cool mugs, for a pretty not bad price

[marsh glade]

Mmm time to make some Moscow Mules

[atomic hornet]

It doesn't even have to end their products, I am sure certainly part of what they make and the brand is profitable just the corporate entity is problematic.
Insolvency does not mean it's products will go away.

[fair gull]

so should i be happy or sad that i dont have an EK block

[atomic hornet]

I still have those cheap hardline fittings but never did anything with them.

[reef patrol]

Happy I guess? If the company suddenly folds over, that means no warranty.

[fair gull]

on the other hand ill never experience an EK block myself

them sort of having been a standard and recommendation in many builds from what i recall

[atomic hornet]

Even so the corporate entity EK going under does not spell the end for all of their water block's themselves per se.

But it definitely could go down that way.

[reef patrol]

True. It could end in many ways - brand being sold off, SKU count heavily reduced going forward.

[cursive summit]

Unironically I see Corsair or Amazon buying them lol

Amazon cause they for some reason really like the whole amazon basics thing, and could retool the place to make coolers for them

[reef patrol]

I don't see WHY Corsair would buy them, but they definitely could.

I doubt the price of the company (even in its current state) is worth whatever R&D they have on producing blocks. Corsair already has their own, and are clearly cutting corners on them as is. No premium product line.

[vernal spear]

i cant enable gaming mode anyone know why

Why in tech talk you ask? Well.

I'm impressed how well the speakers are in a watch.

[little valley]

Some Server Lads here? I’m currently searching for some decent SFP+ Nic currently thinking about getting Intel X520 cause I’ve heard and read that the X710 is trash someone with some other recommendations?

[vagrant pagoda]

mine has always been goldenseye n64 watch

[vagrant pagoda]

520 are rock solid

[umbral heron]

X550 is good, X520 is ok too
Basically avoid 1st gen i225s, later revisions are ok

Also, haven't you asked about this few months back?

[vagrant pagoda]

550 is better for current stuff as its x4 3.0 vs x8 2.0

[little valley]

i got the X550 for my PC cause my router has no SFP xD would use that aswell but on my Colocation Provider they want me to use SFP

[little valley]

Was b4 for personal PC xD

[umbral heron]

Ah, I see

[vagrant pagoda]

you can use sfp+ to cat adatpers

[little valley]

planning to put my current server i got @home to coloc but ive noticed it only has 2x1G Ports

[vagrant pagoda]

can you even get cheap colo?

[little valley]

well idk got now the X550 in my PC running fine but my providers tells me about 10G but caps it @8.5 xDDDDD

[little valley]

i got a current offer for ~82€/Month

[vagrant pagoda]

also its realtec but owc makes a x1 4.0 10g copper

[little valley]

@vagrant pagoda 20G link, 30TB Traffic, A+B Power, Realtime DDoS Protection i think i forgot about 90%

Alright I guess 😭

8GB and 7GB is a crazy speed

[little valley]

well the thing is i would need to play another 20 for Public IP and i cant set any Firewall Rules in this shitty router that i got

i cant they wont give me the login creds for WAN

[vagrant pagoda]

then how would you use a second ip?

[plush talon]

Hey I got a Wooting TwoHE a week ago and the keyboard sometimes disconnects randomly for no reason, and when I move the cable with my hand it goes back working and another move with my hand it disconnects and it stabilizes after some time but happens again next day for example.

When I got the keyboard and connected the cable to it, it didnt go fully in, in the picture attached, this is as far as I can push the USB-C cable. Is that normal? Could it be the cause of this issue?

[analog sinew]

mine has the same weird connector look but no disconnects

[ashen spindle]

make a post in #1019755933959733258 with the picture and someone can take a look

[plush talon]

Ok, I will make it. The issue is also inconsistent but its happening right now again. Should I go for reporting "Product Defect on Arrival"?

[ashen spindle]

just make a post and someone will take a look at it and let you know

[vagrant pagoda]

looks like my 2

[misty saffron]

hack it

[little valley]

It’s French so basically already invaded

[terse walrus]

alright

i got an idea and i dont really know the feasability of it because i don't really have specs of the wooting PCB to know what i can and can not cut out

but basically

[ashen spindle]

github has 3d files for the wootings if you need sizes

[terse walrus]

we're going further beyond that

alright so

dark evil plan

i have the misfortune of being really into ergo keyboards, specifically this ergo keyboard

this, unfortunately, is a membrane, and other ergo mech keyboards kind of suck because they're too ergo or have a weird spacebar that I dont really fuck with

so; the plan

design a PCB for this to lay underneath to drop the hall effect switches in

connect that PCB to the wooting chipset that was cut out

???

and then profit

[analog sinew]

[terse walrus]

also probably have the arrow keys and numpad become detachable or something but thats definitely a whole other can of worms

but yeah

i dont know enough about how wootings board is laid out in order to pull this BS off

[ashen spindle]

im not sure you can just copy and move it around tbh

[terse walrus]

well i'm almost certain that the hall switches are a must

because that's "wired" to the chipset and all of that

but i'm trying to figure out what else is necessary per key

[analog sinew]

i imagine the repositioning would mess with noise and the multiplexers

[terse walrus]

repositioning?

[analog sinew]

cant imagine this to work without a major overhaul

[terse walrus]

well yeah'

[ashen spindle]

the switch is just a magnet the sensors are on the board

[analog sinew]

that is to say

you are building a he keyboard more or less from scratch

[terse walrus]

so i'd have to remove the sensors from the pcb and place them on the new one

oh yeah

definitely from scratch

question then becomes how much of a pain it is to get them off the PCB

if even possible

[ashen spindle]

I'm more concerned if different layout would even work if the firmware expects a certain pattern

#🔧│keyboard_modding people there might know more idk not the most common idea obviously

[terse walrus]

i'd have to emulate the wiring of the wooting on the new pcb

basically everything but the chips

the new PCB is shaped to fit the ergo keyboard thats being gutted

[analog sinew]

desoldering or just buying them should be ok

the assembly is probably less of a problem than the electronic and software

[terse walrus]

hrm

well

thats why im somewhat curious as to where the chips are on the PCB

ideally it'd be just carving those out and then wiring the custom PCB to it

but if those chips are in like the worst possible position im probably going to suffer greatly

[primal pagoda]

yurr

anyone notices any differences with tachyon mode on and off

[analog sinew]

not really, but it is technically faster

plus i dont want sfx anyway

[primal pagoda]

i just want my keyboard to be brighter

70% feels like 40

[steep creek]

you can full send it up to 100 with tachyon just click the lock in wootility

[zenith silo]

It makes my superglide dks more consistent

[primal pagoda]

@steep creek I didn't even know you could do that! Thank you.

Im assuming it'll just suck more juice from the pc which is fine

@zenith silo what is that

[zenith silo]

Dks or superglides?

[primal pagoda]

Superglides

[zenith silo]

Apex movement tech

[primal pagoda]

Aren't superglides mouse skates

Oh nvm

I see

[zenith silo]

It's very frame dependent

The timing for doing it perfectly is less than a single frame at 240fps

[primal pagoda]

I see

[zenith silo]

Tachyon mode makes it so dks is actually consistently able to do that

[primal pagoda]

It's only 1ms though

Crazy how it makes that much more of a difference

[umbral heron]

But... DKS uses it's own tick rate

[primal pagoda]

Yeah I'm a noob at this stuff

I'll have to play around more

[zenith silo]

I've tried on the superglide trainer with it on and off, the tachyon mode makes a massive difference in consistency

At 240fps the dks basically doesn't work without it (unless you want to basically never hit them)

[smoky frigate]

what the fuck. cdrdao and wodim both fail to write CDs. since every burning utility on loonix is just a front-end for these, predictably nothing works. however, Nero Linux 4, abandoned proprietary software last updated in 2009 (!!!) manages to burn the CD and verify it

I mean using it kinda sux and there are much more pleasant applications, but fuck me, I'm not going to use anything else now. I don't know how this software manages to never fail me

[analog sinew]

burning CDs 👴

yeah 3 other button

but

cant i bind the same key for those 3 others

so it just super spams it whenever i spam the key

I want to see Apple make a new version of their 2015 MacBook
The one they unveiled by pulling it out of an envelope on stage

But this new one would have the Apple Silicon so it wouldn't be low power and crappy like that one back then

[analog sinew]

They will find a way to make it shitty

[wheat plume]

I'm not so sure
Currently
Apple are riding on the pure performance per watt of their custom chips
Ones that their own laptops aren't taking advantage of in their form factor

The iPad is taking the most advantage of them due to being slimmer than the laptops

And if they bring them to iPhone
Then those would challenge it too

I'm very excited for the Qualcomm X Elite chip

Which will allow user upgradable ram and storage
Unlike Apple

[cursive summit]

Why are you excited for it

Realistically

What are you thinking it'll give you that a mobile Ryzen won't

[steep creek]

How would it allow upgradable ram? Isn’t it a soc still?

[wheat plume]

Cause its basically an M2.5

[cursive summit]

Ok and

[wheat plume]

But for not apple products

[cursive summit]

What does that give you

I don't think it'll be all that much better than AMD's Strix Point

[wheat plume]

Better battery life and performance compared to other cpus

[cursive summit]

I have my doubts on that

[steep creek]

Performance and battery would very much depend on windows for arm tho and im a bit doubtful they can optimize it that well lol

[cursive summit]

Nah imo it'll just be a 1:1 with Strix Point

And probably worse in a bunch of tasks

[wheat plume]

Yeh ..... Windows, as always, will be the downside

[cursive summit]

Idk I don't really see where ARM on x86 is useful

Maybe in Linux on tiny builds and mini laptops

[wheat plume]

Wtf you mean arm on x86
It's just arm

[steep creek]

I’m fine with arm macs because the os and lots of apps are already well optimized for it but yea

[cursive summit]

What

It's still on x86, with an ARM processor running an emulation layer

You think Microsoft actually made a custom OS that's suddenly ARM based?

[reef patrol]

It will take anyone a day to make a clone.

[wheat plume]

Let's ignore Windows RT xd

[cursive summit]

Let's ignore stuff years discontinued, yes

[wheat plume]

They are going to
They are a major backer for Qualcomm and this chip

[cursive summit]

They will not

[wheat plume]

Working together with them

[steep creek]

For now I’ll steer away from arm computers except macs

[cursive summit]

I see no reason why Microsoft wants to bother making Windows optimized for ARM

[wheat plume]

Fair enough

They are more focused on pushing ads and other bloat no one wants onto the OS while doing fuck all to make the core experience better

[cursive summit]

Like, fair, Windows on ARM is supposedly running natively

But I bet a lot of functions are still optimized for x86

And apps are too, mostly x86

ARM cannot compete with native x86 apps by emulating them for ARM, you lose a lot of perf there

Like the Apple emu toolkit they released, everyone thought it'd be amazing, gaming on apple is finally a thing

3000$ M2 Ultra or whatever can barely run games at 1440p while emulating them via the rosetta toolkit lol

[steep creek]

[cursive summit]

It's not even funny how ARM NEEDS native apps

Idk why you'd even want to bother as a developer to even do native apps for ARM though

[steep creek]

Is possible when companies use your computer and you discontinue the intel macs

[cursive summit]

Snapdragon on Windows will be like 0.1% of marketshare lol, nobody's going to care outside of big developers like Blender who just do it cause why not

[steep creek]

But ms won’t drop support for x86 so yea

[cursive summit]

Didn't they already do that

Ah it was Intel

https://hackaday.com/2023/05/21/intel-suggests-dropping-everything-but-64-bit-from-x86-with-its-x86-s-proposal/

Which makes sense I suppose?

Windows 10 though doesn't run on 32bit CPUs

[steep creek]

X86-s just drops support for anything other than 64bit and 32bit apps afaik

So it will still support windows just fine

[cursive summit]

Yeah and the rest is like emulated or something?

It's not that they are dropping compatibility, just instruction set support or something

[steep creek]

Yea I think you can emulate but support is dropped

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/envisioning-future-simplified-architecture.html

[ashen spindle]

x86-s is not going to change anything for users aside from old dos users and custom os devs, also no performance chanages it just cuts down validation time mostly

enduser relevance likely not there

and MS has a boner for making windows on arms for whatever reason

but arm still isn't better or worse than x86, the snapdragon laptops are not better or worse just because they are arm based

[steep creek]

oh i see

[ashen spindle]

also idk if we even see 86-S before like 27/28 anyway

[steep creek]

yea and it doesnt look like it'll impact most consumers anyways

[crimson wigeon]

Only those who like using legacy operating systems on modern hardware will notice, and that's not a very large amount of people

Yeah you won't be able to run Windows 95 on your super cool new CPU, whatever

[cursive summit]

Huh

Moondrop phone

Looks thick, seems to be built for audio

I don't get why they are calling it a phone still, I don't see a signal symbol there

It's basically a FiiO competitor, an android running device with no cellular

[final flame]

they haven't announced anything
and considering it has a front facing camera, It most likely is a phone

just because you don't see it connected in the photo's doesn't mean anything

[smoky frigate]

and even then you can emulate it

which you probably should have done in the first place lel

[cursive summit]

Wdym they haven't announced anything

https://moondroplab.com/en/phone/miad01

Oh wait lol the webpage updated

It's 5G

I still don't see the point of that but meh

[final flame]

it replaces your phone, and prevents you from having to carry a dongle
I'd say it's worth it

[cursive summit]

replaces your phone
It is a phone

I'd rather get an Xperia which still have a 3.5mm jack

I don't trust Moondrop's questionable QC to make a reliable phone

[final flame]

well we'll see
personally wouldn't want to spend 1k for a phone which has features I'm never going to use

I run a a14 for a reason, and that reason is because it can do everything I need it to

[cursive summit]

Idk what features of Xperias I wouldn't use

Well tbf I'd absolutely never use a selfie camera lol

Remove that shit

But I'd be interested in light photography, Sony is great for that

[final flame]

I don't take photo's on my phone, I still have a note9 which I use for youtube
display is quite overkill, I don't do too much in terms of games, just simple games which everything can run

the only thing I care about is that it's decent enough performance wise, large battery, and has a microsd slot

[cursive summit]

I despise mobile gaming so I defo don't need a fast SoC

A good display though is good for youtube

I am really split between Xperia and Fold

I like having a lot of screen estate, Fold is great for that, crease I don't mind at all

Xperia just seems far better built and a better product as a phone

[halcyon moss]

And I have tray icons in my gnome.. So not sure what you're talking about

[crimson wigeon]

Because it's an extension I'd wager most people have

[cloud lance]

Which one is the best for cs2?

[ashen spindle]

whatever you prefer to wear and like the most

[halcyon moss]

Does it matter if it's default in most instances

[reef patrol]

Wearing earphones is such a "I'm a boomer" thing to me.

They're for listening to music on the go you dang kids!

[crimson wigeon]

It matters to users of distros that keep it vanilla, e.g. Archies

[halcyon moss]

But arch is semi hardmode anyway

Yanyin Canon II or Thieaudio Hype 4

Or just get em6l and save some money 💰

[cloud lance]

Timeless ae not good?

My friend told me flat iem is good for cs2

[ashen spindle]

you should get whatever you are prefering more, as long as its not a 5$ piece from ebay its not making a difference

[cloud lance]

I just bought 2 blue mice,thats why i want to buy AE

[cursive summit]

Timeless are great, but not comfortable

[lyric hatch]

Haven't used them but I know the two I recommended are good

[cursive summit]

From what I heard em6l are pretty great

[lyric hatch]

Mine should arrive sometime this week so I'll find out soon

[fair gull]

of what? the z80?

[cursive summit]

Yes of course

[fair gull]

damn

[raw prawn]

It was in TI calculators for a long time.

[fair gull]

in was in a lot of things and if not directly a lot of 9bit cpus took a lot of design from the z80 into their own designs

like the sharp cpu in gameboy/color for example

the z80 had a lot of advantages back then like requiring 1 voltage rail instead of 3 or 4 the intel 8080 needed

so using it in small embedded systems was way more convenient

[crimson wigeon]

End of an era

[fair gull]

far as i recall it even improvement on the instruction set in general same for general improvements to interrupt systems and such

[distant tapir]

I want one but that price is unjustifiable.

They were going for $200 a few years ago.

[smoky frigate]

you are not missing much

[fair gull]

smth smth supply and demand

idk why that specific crt would be in demand

[distant tapir]

16:10 widescreen mostly.

It's not the sharpest or highest resolution CRT but it is widescreen.

I would gladly have it as my daily driver.

[fair gull]

people still use crts as daily drivers?

[distant tapir]

Yes.

[smoky frigate]

I have last in like 2021, but then I junked the last of them, LCDs have caught up

[fair gull]

im also almost sure you can get really good 16:10 LCD monitors

that dont weigh 20kg

[distant tapir]

OLEDs haven't. Not until they get great BFI.

[distant tapir]

The one I sent weighs 42 kg. :P

[smoky frigate]

I use a 360hz TN panel and it honestly beats any CRT for motion clarity, especially since phosphor afterglow is a factor that people conveniently like to not mention with CRTs

[distant tapir]

You use strobing I assume?

[smoky frigate]

naw, sample and hold is good enough at this hz

[distant tapir]

Otherwise it's not even close.

[smoky frigate]

if you say so. I used them not too long ago and this is definitely better. not to mention it's quite a bit better in all its features except viewing angles

you get better colors, sharpness, VRR, equal or better motion clarity, and it's not old shit that will die unless maintained

trust me, you are not missing much

ignoring those Trinitron wires 1/3rd into the vertical image is also an effort when looking at a bright image tbh

[fair gull]

i mean im glad i put crts behind me long ago

aint ever gonna lug 2 crts to a lan party ever again

[smoky frigate]

they were better than LCDs for quite a long time actually, but those times are gone

also you know what happens if you run them at high pixel clocks? they fucking die in a few months

[distant tapir]

That does depend on the metric though.

[fair gull]

cant really say upgrading from whatever lcd i had to oled was all that much worth it

[smoky frigate]

what metric? the panel I have now I think is better in an objective sense

[distant tapir]

CRTs still have far lower persistence.

[smoky frigate]

don't get me wrong, I love the technology, but PC monitors in particular are destined for landfills imo

[distant tapir]

And the ability to run at different resolutions without pixel layout fuckery will always be a nice thing.

[smoky frigate]

moving bright elements left a very obvious afterglow in my units. maybe it's due to the age of the phosphor, I don't know. playing with resolutions is nice, but high front and back porch will make them die sooner. and if playing it safe is better, then that advantage evaporates

they definitely felt worse than I remembered them feeling from the early 2000s. but since none are made anymore, it's not like that can be restored.

using them is still fun, but I would be hard-pressed to find objective metrics where they're better

and fun is a good enough reason ofc

[lyric hatch]

If I had a bunch of retro game consoles I could justify getting one

[smoky frigate]

15khz TV sets are awesome

especially how 240p looks on them, these old pixel games were drawn to look good on that sort of display

[lyric hatch]

Speaking of old stuff I have an old iPod classic at my parents house somewhere I should dig that out now the audio nerds are wanting them

[smoky frigate]

even watching old DVDs or SD footage tends to look better on them, they mask a lot of encoding artifacts

[smoky frigate]

oh yeah someone will overpay for sure

[balmy vector]

Big profit incoming

[lyric hatch]

Yeah I think I have one of the later models as well i believe 7th gen

[crimson wigeon]

Gamers choice

[vagrant pagoda]

I have a hiscan Trinitron and it makes everything look good lol

Wait hiscan is the 720 what is the 1080i one?

[haughty vector]

anyone know how a 7900 xtx would perform in 1080p low settings for tac fps games vs 4070ti/4080?

[vagrant pagoda]

Likely much faster

[umbral heron]

7900xtx? 1070Ti can do 1080p240 on low easily in Valorant

[haughty vector]

trying to push 500-600 fps constant

[vagrant pagoda]

To what?

That's CPU limited by far

[haughty vector]

yeah definitely but would gpu make a difference?

[umbral heron]

As long as you don't hit it with ray-tracing 7900xtx is a bit better than 4080 and way better than 4070ti
Overall 4070Ti is horrible value, get 4070/4080 instead
But yeah, the higher the framerate, the more CPU and memory matters

[vagrant pagoda]

Why do you even want 600fps

Nothing will display that

[haughty vector]

540 hz Monitor

[distant tapir]

||Use strobing||

[haughty vector]

does gpu matter for streaming too? thinking about streaming too

[vagrant pagoda]

But why

[ashen spindle]

yes but any modern gpu works just fine

[vagrant pagoda]

1% low is way way more important if you want to game at a high level

[umbral heron]

For streaming in older gens Nvidia was ahead because of NVENC, but now both Geforces and Radeons do just fine

[vagrant pagoda]

360hz is hard enough to drive reliabily

[haughty vector]

would the 1% lows be better on 4070 ti or 7900 xtx?

or is that hard to determine

[vagrant pagoda]

Why are you comparing a 4070 with a 7900xtx

[haughty vector]

its just my options

[vagrant pagoda]

4080 super and 7900xtx are the same price

And class

[astral haven]

radeons do fine now, but nvidia is very far ahead for h264 still, and not everything accepts h265 yet
particularly for twitch which wont reencode your stream for you, you have to put out a good quality low bitrate stream to begin with

[haughty vector]

i can get 7900 xtx for 800 but 4080 super is around 1000 usd

[vagrant pagoda]

800?

[haughty vector]

yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

Where I'll take another one

[haughty vector]

my friend

[vagrant pagoda]

Also if you want to game at 300 FPS you're going to want to stream with a second computer anyway

[haughty vector]

i only really play tac fps and games that could be run at high fps so would getting a 7900 xtx even matter?

[haughty vector]

yeah i was also thinking about using my pc that i have rn to stream with

[umbral heron]

Eh, you can hit both YouTube and Twitch with x265, Twitch is already preparing for AV1
What can't you hit with x265 nowadays tbf?

[astral haven]

i thought twitch you had to be a certain size for that?

[haughty vector]

would the fps even differ from a 4070-4080 super for cpu heavy games?

[astral haven]

depends on the game, but usually yes

[astral haven]

https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/broadcasting-guidelines?language=en_US
i see nothing

and discord supports hardware acceleration but not h265

[umbral heron]

Ah, that's only YT for now
x265 is being added to Twitch along with av1

[haughty vector]

would you say enough to justify the 200+ price difference?

[ashen spindle]

no

you will mostly be limited by the cpu

[haughty vector]

will be using 7800x3d for reference

when i look at benchmark videos for valorant and cs the 7900 xtx has a lot of usage relative to the cpu

like 40 cpu 60-70 gpu

[ashen spindle]

usage doesnt mean anything

[haughty vector]

why not?

[ashen spindle]

because its not showing what yout hink, it's not directly correlated to how well a programm is using the hardware

[haughty vector]

ah i see

just curious what parts would you choose if you had a $1.5-2k budget for mainly tacfps?

[ashen spindle]

what do you currently have

[haughty vector]

currently i have an 8700k and 1080ti and run an average of 200-220ishfps for val and cs

8700k is overclocked to 4.7ghz

[astral haven]

only for people who get reencoded by twitch

[ashen spindle]

I mean personally I'd wait a bit for newer cpus later this year, or just get something now and a decent gpu and see if you want to upgrade that again later

[haughty vector]

yeah i feel like waiting is probably better for more options

[ashen spindle]

computex in first week of june is likely going to show the new stuff

[haughty vector]

what is computex?

[ashen spindle]

big tech event where usually new hardware gets announced

[haughty vector]

ah i see'

are you knowledgeable about new monitors too?

[ashen spindle]

tftcentrals is a good site/youtube channel to check for roadmaps and rtings for reviews

[haughty vector]

i will check them out

what are u currently running for ur pc and setup

[ashen spindle]

5600x and 4090

[haughty vector]

holy 4090

what games do u play

[ashen spindle]

anything really

but its also for work

[haughty vector]

oh thats nice

are you planning on upgrading your cpu soon?

[ashen spindle]

in the summer likely yes

[haughty vector]

what are you planning on upgrading to?

[ashen spindle]

whatever the next amd option is called

[haughty vector]

oh the 8000 series or whatever

is that coming out in the summer or will it be announced in the summer?

[ashen spindle]

likely both

im expecting to see announced it at computex that I mentioned

[sweet cairn]

Welp, looks like the PCIE slot on my mobo is done for.

[vagrant pagoda]

F

[sweet cairn]

It CAN work but a lot of times it doesnt, guessing I have to replace it, no way to really fix that.

[vagrant pagoda]

That isn't generally what dose pcie slots do

Generally they drop speeds or lanes when the slot is damaged

Or just don't work

[sweet cairn]

So my GPU randomly stops working

if I go and reslot it, then it works, until it stops working again

the other PCIE slot works fine

so something is funky with the express slot

[signal oar]

Is it compatible with Apple products?

[astral haven]

as compatible as apple allows

[strong sundial]

maybe try cleaning the pcie slot?

heh, i wonder if the contacts are just messed up somehow

[cursive summit]

Well thanks Moondrop for inventing the shittiest camera bulge imaginable

What the fuck is that mountain

Bruddas were inspired by the grand canyon and decided to make a pitfall drop of a camera bulge

Wait so the phone is always slanted if you put it on its back? That's weird, I can't imagine this is fun to hold either

[wheat plume]

Moondrop making phones now??

[cursive summit]

Lana, just..

Whatever

[umbral heron]

Can you call it a phone if you can't call from it?

[cursive summit]

You can though

Moondrop phone will have 5G lol

I wish they didn't go down that route of just calling it a phone really

[umbral heron]

I wonder if it will be only 5G internet access though, given photos you've sent earlier

[cursive summit]

Yeah none of the images has signal strength innit?

And if you try to implement cellular connection, every country operates in different bandwidths it's really damn hard

Need to certify it too

I guess if they just go the 5G route they can pretend that you don't really need cellular and use WhatsApp or whatever for communications, still a "phone"

[reef patrol]

https://youtube.com/shorts/YxZ8swV-QMA

[cursive summit]

Still kinda wish they went the FiiO route though

[umbral heron]

I really like how M15s looks like, especially that big knob on the top
Still, I prefer going dongle route, it's nice to have possibility to swap phones, especially since good quality dongle without battery can outlive few of them

[cursive summit]

I'm also now unsure how FiiOs branding works

M17 I think is still supposed to be their top end offering?

Yet the M23 exists which I suppose should be "higher number = better" but I don't think it is

[umbral heron]

They do Ryzen naming strategy
So M17 is 1st gen of their level-7 player
And M23 is 2nd gen of level-3 player
https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/816233.html

So second digit bigger = better

[cursive summit]

Well I suppose that makes sense

[umbral heron]

Now I want Q15

[cursive summit]

Sigh

Bulges

My OCD is a bit triggered

[umbral heron]

iPhone be iPhone

[cursive summit]

Exactly why I love the design of Xperia

It has the bulge, but it's very... 2010s bulge rather than the massive 2020s bulge

[umbral heron]

21:9 screen

[cursive summit]

Which btw is probably going away on the new Xperia VI

I want to see what are they cooking cause it's supposed to be a very weird launch

No more 4K, no more 21:9, same cameras

[steep creek]

Gotta be one of the best looking phones imo

I really like it

[cursive summit]

It really is the best looking phone imo

I keep sneaking into telecommunication stores and just handling it from time to time

Amazing display, amazing cameras, looks beautiful

But I am also in a bizarre way just interested in the Fold

[steep creek]

Yea and it’s solid built too, I don’t get the same quality feel when holding most other phones

Fold is okay but it’s not for me, i would end up scratching it and probably breaking it lol

[cursive summit]

Ah yeah the scratching thing is very concerning

Also I think having the option to just not use the dongle is amazing coming from a 3.5mm-less tablet

[steep creek]

I believe just a fingernail is enough to scratch it

[cursive summit]

Dongles are just so annoying

[cursive summit]

It is

And it's permanent damage afaik

[steep creek]

Yeah xperia wins in that aspect

[steep creek]

Yeah looks like it

[cursive summit]

Xperias also still are one of the few brands to not ditch the SD card tray lol

Expandable storage is massive

I'd buy an Xperia Foldable in a heartbeat lol

[steep creek]

I’ll say if I were to move away from iphone I’d probably get either an Xperia or pixel

Probably more inclined towards xperia

[cursive summit]

I'm not getting a Pixel lol

And iphone is such a meme

[steep creek]

Is mostly the watch that keeps me tied to iphone, I enjoy it too much to give up

But yea xperia looks solid

[cursive summit]

Literally a walled garden lol

And apple sheeps say it's not a thing

[steep creek]

It is a walled garden

Not denying that, but I will say apple aren’t exactly the only ones trying to lock you in

[cursive summit]

Meh I might get a Garmin Venu 3S or a Scanwatch 2 and an Xperia 1 VI when that comes out assuming it doesn't suck

[steep creek]

Withings watches look nice but they offer subscriptions

[cursive summit]

I don't get the subscription thing

[latent mural]

I use gpw wooting benq hyperx I'm cool

[fickle ore]

no

[sweet cairn]

What should I do with my old mobo? Works fine except for the express pcie slot. ewaste?

[ashen spindle]

ebay

[sweet cairn]

Just open it for bidding and it sells for however much it sells for?

[ashen spindle]

look at similar ones and yea

[steep creek]

I had the same issue on my old card, weirdly enough if I installed a sag bracket it worked fine

I’m not sure why this is

[sweet cairn]

kinda same, but its intermittent connectivity

Guess is that the slot got damaged during transport of the pc

Lesson learned, never moving my PC again lmao

[steep creek]

lol feels bad

[vagrant pagoda]

Is it a metal reinforced slot?

[sweet cairn]

its this

[marsh pewter]

should I get an i5-12600k or Ryzen 9 5900X

[ashen spindle]

neither?

[gusty kiln]

Nas or home server if no buyers

[marsh pewter]

oh, I was thinking of building a new pc and im not sure on what cpu I should get

[gusty kiln]

If you have to buy now then it's am5 or bust

[ashen spindle]

well both are old and on platforms that dont get newer options

[gusty kiln]

Intel about to refresh

[ashen spindle]

7800x3d if for gaming and you dont want to wait

[grave pumice]

Hey everyone, I recently spilled my drink on my wooting 60HE and didn’t think anything of it as it was still working. The next day I had to plug it in and out for it to turn back on and by about the next day its been completely not responding, no lights. Occasionally it’ll turn back on and work but go shortly after. It continues to be recognised by my computer but it’s not lighting or working anymore. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to replace or fix?

[ashen spindle]

https://help.wooting.io/article/12-basic-troubleshooting

unplug keyboard asap and follow the steps there

[grave pumice]

Thank you so much, I would have neglected going to there if I didn’t ask someone at least, thank you very much @ashen spindle

[ashen spindle]

if there are still issues after you try the tips there make a thread in #1019755933959733258 about it

[lyric hatch]

Well one of those cpus launched in 2020 and the other in 2021 so if you want to build a new PC I recommend buying some new parts

Unless you're buying second hand and on a budget, but I wouldn't be buying new old stock

[marsh pewter]

im sorta on a budget which I why I brought up those options

if I had the money I would get something more recent tho

[ashen spindle]

what is the budget and is it for gaming or work

[marsh pewter]

gaming, ~$1000

[ashen spindle]

for full pc with gpu?

[marsh pewter]

yes

[smoky frigate]

TIL not only can exact audio copy burn CDs, but it also works flawlessly on linux

wine is simply amazing

[ashen spindle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fLKmZJ very rough I just through some things together idk if that board/case/ssd/psu are the right choices but just took some that seem fine so you have a starting point

could see if you get some parts cheaper and then get a better gpu or cpu depending on what you would need more, likely gpu if anything

[fickle ore]

get new intel 3D

[ashen spindle]

did you hallucinate something again

[fickle ore]

na

[ashen spindle]

[solemn remnant]

bonk

might as well get a 7600x instead of non-x, costs like $20 more

[dapper agate]

got a custom keyboard with lubed nk creams hmu for more info

[ashen spindle]

ok?

[solemn remnant]

hhu quick

[gusty kiln]

Aren't the non-x cpu less aggressive with the boost? Thus not trying to hit 90 degrees?

[ashen spindle]

yes but also doesnt matter its just the 6 core anyway

[solemn remnant]

my 7600x never goes over 80c and it stays at 5.45-5.5ghz

[sweet cairn]

wut

[gusty kiln]

Damn a 7600xt is on par with my old 2080

[sweet cairn]

Bro we gotta do somethiing about these names.

7600x cpu and 7600xt gpu is just not great

[solemn remnant]

yeah lul

[sweet cairn]

tech company trying to have a name scheme that makes sense challenge

[vagrant pagoda]

its nuts

and its even ryzen and radeon

so you cant do R7600XT

[steep creek]

need to stop letting the engineers name things and get in some marketing folks

[sweet cairn]

We need a reboot, lets start at 0 and have a scheme that wont get confusing af.

[vagrant pagoda]

first amd needs to do better with mobile naming

[ashen spindle]

mobile at least is following a naming scheme (for now)

[vagrant pagoda]

somewhat

[sweet cairn]

Can't wait to get my hands on RTX 10090ti to pair with my AMD 9999x3d

[gusty kiln]

Amd should have just give back to the pre rx 200 series

[ashen spindle]

I still take it over what intel is going to do...

[gusty kiln]

Would be at Radeon 15990xt right now

[vagrant pagoda]

7000 mobile is from z2/r2 to z4/r3

with evne fucking gcn mixed in

[gusty kiln]

Bring back the HD

[vagrant pagoda]

because vega is a good match

[sweet cairn]

I need a naming scheme that even grandpa can follow

[gusty kiln]

HD 7990 XT was top dog when I started getting into pc gaming

[vagrant pagoda]

loved when ati went 9000, to X000, to 2000

[ashen spindle]

core ultra will be a even bigger mess though later this year

[vagrant pagoda]

but then 8000 to 200

then like 500 to 5000

[solemn remnant]

bigger number should be gooder so I have no idea why they did that

[night badge]

just in theory, I could change the springs inside a lekker switch right?

to make it heavier

[ashen spindle]

yes

[vagrant pagoda]

nvidia atleast went nothing, 2, 3, 4, 5000-9000, 100-900, 1000

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah doulbe them up

lo

[night badge]

ye lmao ty

[vagrant pagoda]

nvida has the best track recond on desktop

[night badge]

any switch opener would do it ig

[vagrant pagoda]

workstation nvidia is curesed

[sweet cairn]

if the springs are compatible

[night badge]

wdym compatible?

[sweet cairn]

they have to be the right size

[night badge]

do I have to get a specific spring,

[sweet cairn]

yes

[night badge]

wont they just shrink eventually?

[sweet cairn]

they are different springs compared to normal mx keyboards

wut

[vagrant pagoda]

love that rtx a6000 and rtx 6000 ada where one gen apart

[night badge]

but since gateron makes the lekker switches I could in theory just use another gateron switches spring right?

[sweet cairn]

no

[night badge]

damn..

[vagrant pagoda]

but dont confuse them with quadro rtx 6000, which was mid range

[night badge]

what kind of springs are those daheck

[sweet cairn]

just google wooting springs ali express and youll find some

[night badge]

ah ty

[sweet cairn]

or wait until wooting sells them on their store

sometime soon tm

[night badge]

I hope so ™️

[ashen spindle]

yeah ian and other were at a tour around the machine and there are videos from it already

[fickle ore]

Nice was it today?

[ashen spindle]

3 days ago or so

[fickle ore]

mm

those line looks like I draw em

not even straight

puts on ASML

looks like samsung or tsm already getting theirs too

[ashen spindle]

still years before its in a real node so not too interesting atm

[fickle ore]

well idk

I guess they wont use it for 18A

Just for RD

[ashen spindle]

they wont even have test or r&d wafers on it before 26

[latent mural]

Why sound when using the Z790M AORUS ELITE AX

[smoky frigate]

what sound?

[latent mural]

I refunded the b760mplus

[solemn remnant]

bongo drum sound

[ashen spindle]

coil whine?

[latent mural]

zizizizizi

like

[solemn remnant]

because it's the Z790m

with the b760m+ you'd hear bibibibi

[latent mural]

yes

[latent mural]

Really? I bought the B760Mplus and haven't used it yet

[solemn remnant]

no, not really. listen to the coil whine boys if they have suggestions though

[latent mural]

So I bought the b760mplus

[ashen spindle]

I mean usually you can fix that on boards by just changing thermal pads or something

[latent mural]

My power supply 4070 z790m has sound

[ashen spindle]

yes thats normal

[latent mural]

Everything's back

I thought the B760M would have no sound

[ashen spindle]

why did you think that

[latent mural]

The Z790M AORUS ELITE AX is cheaper than the other Z790, probably because it saves materials

This is machine translation. I hope you understand

[ashen spindle]

yes translation is fine

coil whine can happen on any component though

[latent mural]

My chassis is matx, I don't need much expansion

[ashen spindle]

it just depends, some are more noticeable than others, sometimes you can fix it by just lowering max fps, or glue down the moving parts and make sure its screwed in well

[latent mural]

I didn't have a lot of problems installing computers four years ago, probably because I didn't install them myself

The Z790M AORUS ELITE AX has a sound There are a lot of entries on the Internet, probably the problem of things

[vagrant pagoda]

higher switching freqencys reduce cap/coil size, but decrease vrm efficiency due to swtiching losses

so there is sadly a sweet spot right at 10-20khz so that caps/coil are small enough to package for smt, and the vrm is efficient

[chrome spruce]

My Shit+2 and Shift+3 key combos don't work

So i can't make the email symbol

Can't make the @, had to copy it

[trim crane]

my name is ian

[reef patrol]

You sure you're using the right language in your OS?

Does the combo produce anything at all?

Do the 2 and 3 keys work normally when pressed by themselves?

Does the shift key capitalize LETTERS otherwise normally?

[rough patrol]

Aint no way they got the youtuber apology thumbnail

[reef patrol]

They 200% did.

[severe phoenix]

Lol

It's also a non apology

[frozen ingot]

wasn't the company essentially frauding its customers and suppliers

tough job weaseling your way out of such accusations

[severe phoenix]

Yep

[reef patrol]

Defrauding ... not quite. But definitely not paying on time, because they didn't have money.

Defrauding implies a malicious intent, where this appears to be a case of negligence and poor planning (and failing to ensure you have a wallet capable of handling the lack of liquidity for a longer period)
