What is the best material for keycaps in your opinion?

[cursive summit]

No worries GN is working on a follow up with even more evidence

Yet another downfall of a company

[wheat plume]

Figure 8 fire track!

[vagrant pagoda]

Shaving OT is fraud, and illegal almost everywhere.

[ashen spindle]

customers and suppliers

I dont think your customers do overtime for you

[gusty wren]

Holy they are expensive, what is a good Webseite to buy them?

[reef patrol]

Fraud != Defraud.

[vagrant pagoda]

Defraud: verb to deprive of something by deception or fraud

Defraud is the action of committing fraud.

[reef patrol]

In these parts it is the difference of intent.

[vagrant pagoda]

Where is that?

[chrome spruce]

I tried 3 lagnauges, German, Russian and English. When i just press 2 and 3 they work, but with shift they do not. And yes, shift does capitalize letters normally

[ashen spindle]

german layout shift 2 is " not @, thats q+alt gr, UK english also has doesnt have the at on 2

[astral haven]

It's noun vs verb forms of the same word

[cosmic thunder]

knock knock
'whos there'
'its me, '); DROP TABLE Users; --'

[chrome spruce]

I use US English

It worked before

But something happened

I don't understand what 😦

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258 make a post there, its probably wrong language selected or wrong key assigned on they layer idk

I bet $69 that the userbase of those don't look like the renders here

[analog sinew]

what is with those red eyes

[wheat plume]

[analog sinew]

are they allergic to pollen or what

[wheat plume]

Definitely not xd

[analog sinew]

being good looking, the fashion cheat code

[wheat plume]

True

[solemn remnant]

lighting is important too

I look like a snack in pitch black

[analog sinew]

🤨

[solemn remnant]

it's true, someone bit me once when they mistook me for a hotdog

[umbral heron]

There are pink ones too
But IEMs

[wheat plume]

I look awful and disgusting no matter what light

[solemn remnant]

nooo you don't, you're beautiful

[wheat plume]

They got headphones too

[wheat plume]

Prove it

[vagrant pagoda]

@astral haven

from reddit

[astral haven]

Neat

[vagrant pagoda]

ive never used mine without a main display

idk if i could do that

[astral haven]

wdym?

the glasses are the main display

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah ive never used mine for that

hard time doing full focus on it

i might be able to do it with the pros, as they dim

[astral haven]

wha

[vagrant pagoda]

in the pic they dont have the light blocker

i dont think i could game on them withouth the cover

ive only used it was a secondary while having the cover off

[astral haven]

it really depends how bright the env is, but ive found it not to be a problem

my problem is they make me sick

[vagrant pagoda]

same with the cover on

i do like them as a second monitor though

i stick like chat/vc and music controls on it

on the edge

[astral haven]

i got a touchscreen 4th display for music/vc

[vagrant pagoda]

what screen?

i have my old LG as second and use either tablet or the airs as third

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/apr/23/voyager-1-transmitting-data-again-after-nasa-remotely-fixes-46-year-old-probe

[astral haven]

it was the display from a conference system that was replaced

at home i dont have a touch since I just use my phone lol

[vagrant pagoda]

i never have enough screen relistate

[astral haven]

i have 2 touchscreens at work

[vagrant pagoda]

i wish i could go back to 5x1 span

i miss that

[astral haven]

1 for work things that is larger 24 incher, smaller 10 incher for music

[astral haven]

get tv

[vagrant pagoda]

ppi on text is ass for big ones

and i use 3x1 4ks now

[astral haven]

just move it further away or get 8k

i do wish tvs would go 6k tho

[vagrant pagoda]

further away reduces screen real estate

[astral haven]

find a happy medium

[vagrant pagoda]

i did

it was 5x1 24incers

[astral haven]

4k?

[vagrant pagoda]

but cant do that anymore

so i went to 3x1 4k 27s

[astral haven]

4k?

[vagrant pagoda]

1440p

i first had 5x1 1080 22s, then 5x1 1440, now 3x1 4k 27s

[astral haven]

ah so it was a 5% 11% downgrade in res to drop to 3x4k

[vagrant pagoda]

i only did 4k for scaling

scaling on 1440 was ass some times

with 4k i just do games at 1080 a lot of times

[astral haven]

could go dual 8k

i wish someone would make a 48 8k

[vagrant pagoda]

i find portiat to be the best work

[astral haven]

i prefer larger higher res screen to turning sideways

cause it takes more than 2 vertical to match 1 horizontal, and 1 horizontal higher res is usually cheaper than 3 vertical

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean 90% of what I do is read docs and code

Which is better suited for portrait

[lyric hatch]

The optimal optimum setup 👌

[vagrant pagoda]

No num pad. Trying doing some real work sometime

XD

[solemn remnant]

numbers are for nerds

[umbral heron]

Don't like it
I like having 2 horizontal monitors
Mousepad is way too big
And no numpad

[lyric hatch]

True I work in IT I'm not a nerd 😎

[solemn remnant]

I just have my old monitor as vertical and use it basically only for having discord open, but the problem with this is that my main one is oled and the verti is tn and looks horrible from every angle in comparison

[steep creek]

I am fine without a numpad for the work I do but can’t imagine going without fn row and nav cluster

[solemn remnant]

hey guys I'm from the future

[cursive summit]

Welcome back to today

[solemn remnant]

thank you, that was a weird trip

[smoky frigate]

hello future!!!

[lyric hatch]

Nice day in the future

[vagrant fog]

what timezone is that man

[lyric hatch]

NZST

[vagrant fog]

oh

[lyric hatch]

We +12 over here

[oak herald]

I can't be stopped now.

[woven laurel]

bold words

[balmy vector]

just wait for it

[quick ether]

is the 60 he hot swap

[ashen spindle]

yes

with HE switches

[quick ether]

the stock onrd right

[ashen spindle]

what

[quick ether]

ones

[ashen spindle]

gateron jades too for example

[pale sigil]

There are a few compatible switches.

You can read about it on #🪛│modding_faq

[quick ether]

how do i know if my swith dided

[ashen spindle]

please type out the right words so we know what you mean, wtf is dided

[quick ether]

died

srry

[ashen spindle]

the switch is just a magnet it cant die

[pale sigil]

You can replace it with another switch that's located inside the box we provided.

[quick ether]

i replaced it is the key is stll not working

nvm

[ashen spindle]

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

[turbid crane]

budget 144hz monitor recommendations, anyone?

[steep creek]

https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/23/apple-developing-its-own-ai-server-processor/

Wasn’t this the whole reason nuvia left? lmao

[astral haven]

nuvia wanted to make a server chip, not nescessarily an ai chip

[steep creek]

Ah that’s fair

[astral haven]

right now apple is piling loads of money on nvidia for h#00s, and they are very very unhappy about that

[steep creek]

Yea and I don’t think they’re too happy about not designing own hardware as well

[astral haven]

yep

[ashen spindle]

The Nuvia guys still left though and you don’t just get random talent to make good hardware xD

So it’s going to be a steep challenge for apple

[astral haven]

to be fair they are the company with the most cash on hand afaik

[ashen spindle]

Sure but m2/3 already showed they bled lots of talent

Maybe they found some new talent since then

Takes a while to on onboard so if they did it makes sense it didn’t show any results yet but idk if end of next year would already work out for something great

[zenith silo]

https://youtu.be/9Q_9LVW2Rl4

[turbid crane]

I saw that one too lol

was curious if there was anything better

[astral haven]

eh, i think that execs just bought the koolaid about their hardware being better, and didnt listen to the engineers who would have done more rnd if they had the money to
they hopefully realized it when m2 came out of the lab, so it should be possible for them to do something with m4?

[steep creek]

Performance in m# and a# has really not seen much increase since around that time

M4 is coming soon ish so I’d hope they figure something out by now yea

[ashen spindle]

Yeah I don’t buy the management just stopping needed resources because the A chips also stagnated

[astral haven]

its the same cores

if mgmt doesnt budget a billion or whatever is needed to make a flagship core, its gonna hurt both products the same

[ashen spindle]

Don’t think they are the same and also since A series isn’t new I doubt the execs would overestimate based on the m1 alone

[steep creek]

M1 at least they call the cores “firestorm” and icestorm, those are also found in the a14 but idk about the newer ones

[vagrant pagoda]

To be fair the m1 was so much of a leap, it's hard to be consistent with that kind of progress

[astral haven]

m2 is the same, m2 and a15 share P cores at least

[vagrant pagoda]

Think dozer to ryzen was as large of a jump as all of ryzen up to am5

[steep creek]

I wouldn’t expect m1 level performance jumps every gen but what we’re seeing now is kinda underwhelming

[ashen spindle]

Oh sure but it’s more like m1 to m2 didn’t even get an ipc increase lol

[astral haven]

each ryzen jump i believe was larger than any jump apple has ever made including from intel to m1

except maybe zen 1 to +

[vagrant pagoda]

Intel to m1 almost doubled battery life though

Also wasn't m1 to m2 15% while also increasing battery life?

[astral haven]

but also was dramatically slower in many applications

m1 to m2 was higher performance or increased battery life
if you run it hard it dies faster

[vagrant pagoda]

When Intel mb weren't throttling lol

[ashen spindle]

m1 to 2 was a performance increase of like 15% from 20% higher clocks so more power at high end and same ipc more or less

[astral haven]

im pretty sure the intel macbook even at full throttle still outperforms the latest m3 in pure serial performance and in linpack
the difference is apple spent a ton of effort optimizing their software and put in a ton of excellent accelerators

[steep creek]

Problem is they could almost never hit full throttle because Apple would let them run slower than ramp up fans at full speed

[astral haven]

"let them run slower" is throttle

[steep creek]

Oh never mind I missed that part

[astral haven]

Yea I shouldn't have said full throttle I should have said fully throttled

[steep creek]

I remember my dad buying the 16” i9 mbp, tried pushing it and it actually became too hot to touch

I’ll give creds that they’ve managed to optimize the arm ones so well I guess

Intel one was just disappointing from day one

[astral haven]

Yep, but it's also worth noting that they wouldn't have done themselves any favors by putting effort into making the Intel one good, knowing that they were hoping to transition people the very next year

[steep creek]

At that time they were very adamant on making the laptop thinner and thinner. In fact im pretty sure that the current pro laptops are thicker than those back then

Also have better a cooling system now

[astral haven]

🤔

[lyric hatch]

Not to mention they basically improved every single other thing about the laptop on top of that, display, battery, speakers, IO options, camera etc

[steep creek]

Just from memory, as I’ve had both the i9 and m3 pro machines, current ones feel way better in that regard

[steep creek]

Yeah it was long overdue but nice to see

[astral haven]

Problem tho is it obviously was very intentional

[lyric hatch]

That is a classic apple move

Remove features to add them back later as selling points

[steep creek]

Probably is to make the arm transition look even greater

[astral haven]

Not just look, by sandbagging Intel, the gap is actually larger

[steep creek]

Yea it’s on apple, those fans and that chassis weren’t enough to cool the chip

M series mbp also has a loot more airflow intake space

[astral haven]

The fans were enough, Apple just limited them to 60%? Of max speed

I also believe there was something with the die pressure that was also fixable with a quick mod

[astral haven]

My bad, it wasn't limited, they just didn't include higher on the stock fan curve

[steep creek]

I see

They apparently released a software update to fix this but that was after we sold it so im not sure if it worked well or not

[astral haven]

yea i remember there was a software update that helped performance alot, I dont remember if it changed fan speeds tho?

[steep creek]

I’m not sure can’t find anything online unfortunately

[latent mural]

wht does actuation force do

[vagrant fog]

Acctuation force is how much force (in grames) you need to force down a key to make it do something, 10 grams is faster than 20 grams force for example

[cosmic thunder]

the force you need to press a key to activate it

lekker 45 switch needs 45g of force, lekker 60 needs 60g

the higher force you need the harder to press

[copper badger]

has anyone tried the ws dash switches

[umbral heron]

Holy hell, fuck Apple, honestly
Cross compile to Linux - easy, rustup, musl, good to go
Windows? same - rustup, mingw, ready to go
Apple? FUCK YOU HA! Have fun playing around shitty SDK and this piece of garbage called Xcode because Apple can't use normal licensing, they have to be special

How tf they have so big market share? Even development for it is a pain in the ass

[old marlin]

how unexpected

[analog sinew]

pretentious kids "flexing"

[fair gull]

nooo not musl

[umbral heron]

My colleague already made image with musl quite a while back and it's default on our workers
As long as it works I don't mind really (aka I don't want to make my own image)

[fair gull]

we had so many issues with musl already in our backend

[reef patrol]

Ew ew ew ew

[woven laurel]

ow

[cursive summit]

This thing is weird lol

The Moondrop MIAD01

1080p 120Hz OLED display

3.5mm + 4.4mm jacks

[umbral heron]

6.7"
A chonkster

Though curved display can be a bit pain in the ass, especially when used with one hand

Those bright orange accents though

[cursive summit]

And that massive bulge lol

This seems like an ergonomic nightmare

[umbral heron]

They had to stuff all this audio thingies somewhere

[cursive summit]

Ah the specs are out too

Mediatek 7050

[steep creek]

I love the orange accents, would match my watch

[cursive summit]

Up to 2TBs of internal storage (256GB UFS3.1 flash) which is wild

SD card tray is available

12GB RAM

[distant tapir]

zzzzzz...

[umbral heron]

Still no carrier signal icon though on any of the screenshots
So phone or not phone?

[cursive summit]

I mean, it has 5G so.. a semi-phone?

Can basically just do data for calls and messaging everywhere

Also Mediatek 7050 is very much a lower range SoC

Oh nice it seems people found what phone this is

It's a retooled custom version of https://m.gsmarena.com/lava_blaze_curve-12859.php

Mid range Indian production phone

Same specs

[umbral heron]

https://www.ft.com/content/d84df824-19c0-4105-ae95-816dd0618efb

[cursive summit]

Good

It should be banned everywhere

Same with shorts lol

[reef patrol]

Someone will make a new version that is US based a week later. This does nothing.

Hell Vine might be coming back.

[ashen spindle]

Problem is the bill allows them much more than just banning TikTok

So this should not happen

[cursive summit]

Anything that is brain numbing like shorts, tiktok and mobile entertainment should be banned

And peeps need to get compulsory education to bring them up to spec

Brain numb is insane amongst younguns

[fair gull]

yes subscribe to read thats what i like

[ashen spindle]

TikTok can be banned/regulated without bills that give congress more power over other things unrelated

[cursive summit]

Coomer bait should also get banned

[inner bison]

the fact that shorts kill time is the entire point I watch shorts

[hardy idol]

@old marlin
Hi mr expert
what's THE best keyboard on the market right now

[cursive summit]

Wooting?

[hardy idol]

No

I'm not buying another Wooting, I have all models already

[cursive summit]

So you have the best keyboard, why do you need more

[hardy idol]

Ultimately I didn't ask you this question, but Wooting isn't the best keyboard on the market for me

[cursive summit]

coping

[hardy idol]

It's a great keyboard for a lot of people but I don't even use it for gaming a lot

[peak jay]

@hardy idol what features are important for u then?

Best is determinable on what u want to achieve

[old marlin]

the best in what regard

[peak jay]

raw performance: wooting

[old marlin]

for gaming out of the ones you can get, the wooting

otherwise venom TKL until the 80he is out

[peak jay]

aesthetically customizable: fluxkeyboard or finalmouse centerpiece

[old marlin]

just general custom keyboard it is very much personal preference, I would prefere the F1-8Xv2 (which is compatible with the venom PCB, tho HE switches sound shit)

[old marlin]

neither of which are an actual thing atm

[peak jay]

jup both are pre orders haha

well final one is june 1st

and flux is 5 month wait

[old marlin]

ngl

I would not trust finalmouse

and flux is also sus af

[old marlin]

they never fulfil their promises on a first release

[peak jay]

yea i noticed that too

which is sad

well i guess we will see

@old marlin is there any aluminium cases for the 80he btw

was thinking of getting one but if there isnt yet i will wait

[old marlin]

no, but why would you care

the zinc one is good

internal weight would be cool

but oh well

[peak jay]

yea but color wise its quite limiting

[old marlin]

would be cheaper to get it recoated

[peak jay]

and i already have some white/black options laying around

[old marlin]

than to buy an aftermarket case

[peak jay]

not here where i live xD

[old marlin]

aka?

[peak jay]

german prices suck mostly bc there is no consumer options

[old marlin]

becoating

[hardy idol]

I want it to sound deep while typing, have a good solid feel while typing unlike wootings rattly stuff etc

[peak jay]

lemme check

[old marlin]

https://www.becoating.be/services

[hardy idol]

Some customisability could be nice but wouldn't mind if there wasn't much

[old marlin]

135€ for cerakote

in belgium

[old marlin]

price?

[hardy idol]

any

if it's good, it can have a price

[old marlin]

well

you can get very nice TKLs for quite cheap now

saw a kage for ~330€

and a safa for 370

but the point of custom keyboards is that there is not one best one

always is preference

and it always depends on how you build it

[hardy idol]

i dont really want a tkl

[old marlin]

well

what do you want

[hardy idol]

well fullsize or 96% whatever that was

[old marlin]

ah

well

[hardy idol]

honestly I love the layout of that Asus thing

[old marlin]

gl

[hardy idol]

maybe i should just buy it

[old marlin]

no

it sucks

I'd rather get the ymdk96

which sucks

[hardy idol]

hmm

[old marlin]

but still is better

[hardy idol]

is there nothing else in that space

[old marlin]

fullsize is kind of a weird market for customs still

[hardy idol]

i guess

but 96% is pretty awesome its

[old marlin]

atm I am waiting for this https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=121905.0

no int run yet

[hardy idol]

well, I've always wanted a 60HE with a numpad and

[old marlin]

if you can stand southpaw

https://keyboardtreehouse.com/collections/keyboards/products/ae-x-impulse-boards-kangaroo

[hardy idol]

96% is pretty much just that

[old marlin]

this is very good

[hardy idol]

what is southpa

[old marlin]

(iirc price includes int shipping)

[hardy idol]

uh

[old marlin]

look at the images

[hardy idol]

i think i

i dont know if i could get used to that it looks useful and nice once you master it

brb washroom break

[old marlin]

decent review on it (quite long tho) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oISp1T5QagE

just in case you do wanna get it, I'd heavily recommend getting an extra PCB to be safe and adding the FR4 plate if you don't like the thicc alu plate

[hardy idol]

🤔

[old marlin]

idk what region you live in

have been seing a TX 1800 v2 for a while now

[cursive summit]

They dutch

[old marlin]

basically only needs caps

if you feel like going with a kustom for your first custom

[hardy idol]

I'm in Canada

[woven laurel]

oke veel plezier

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean every is better than mainstream media

As mainstream media melts the most minds

[final flame]

Should also probably read the bill, it's full of other things too

because ofc the US uses this to push their agenda

[ashen spindle]

yup thats my issue with it, has nothing to do with tiktok, which I dont like either

[gusty kiln]

This would be endgame work keyboard for me

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q12-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard

Q12 also comes close

[old marlin]

still is in stock

[gusty kiln]

Yeah but can't justify it at least for now

The arrows on the Q12 makes more sense

[old marlin]

the Q12 is superbly ugly to me ngl

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q14-pro-alice-layout-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard

Q14 ain't that bad to me

but the left side of the bottom row sucks for me

they got 0 flexibility in layouts

[vagrant pagoda]

Ohhh fancy AM5 Eypc.

[astral haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW7waTkpgnI
canon why

[cursive summit]

@umbral heron @final flame I think these are the correct tags, I forgot

Cheaper than expected, 350$

For 12GB, 256 and 5G... not horrid pricing lol

[pale sigil]

Very ugly phone

[cursive summit]

You are also ugly

[astral haven]

to be fair it has a 4.4 and a 3.5mm jack, and the 4.4mm jack is pretty huge

[umbral heron]

2500 RMB? I thought it'll cost at least twice that

[astral haven]

its a $200? phone and a $100 dac

[vagrant pagoda]

It's got atleast an ok soc if it has 5g. There aren't many cheap 5g socs

But that means 5g will be practically useless in the us

[astral haven]

snapdragon 6 gen 1 lol

[vagrant pagoda]

Lmao

If only

Do like the 1080p120 over a highres 60hz

[cursive summit]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9050-strix-point-apu-with-12-cores-spotted-on-geekbench

[cursive summit]

Mediatek 7050, cheap 5G low end shitter

[ashen spindle]

when do they learn you can just fake geekbench entries

[vagrant pagoda]

If you think 7050 is low end, there is a big cliff wating

[astral haven]

yea but sub $200 phones get real bad real quick

although i was very happy with my $50 phone for a year

[gusty kiln]

200-300 samsaung phones are getting really good

some even have oled screens

A25 5G is plenty got 90% of people

[astral haven]

https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-a15/buy/galaxy-a15-5g-128gb-unlocked-sm-a156uzkdxaa/
wow

[gusty kiln]

Yeah amoled for 200

Only thing bad is 4gb of ram might be too limiting nowadays

[astral haven]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CS3X4ZFX?psc=1
256gb 8gb ram under 200

[gusty kiln]

Oh international version is better

[cursive summit]

Worse screen technology than LCD for 200

At that ultralow price point all that matters is SoC as phones tend to be slow as fuck out of the box

I remember having to set up a budget Samsung like 2 years back which was unbearably slow to boot and function, brand new

[final flame]

not really, my a14 runs fine for all my daily tasks\

as long as you don't ask for too much it run just fine

it can play music, watch youtube, scroll discord and even play some easy to run games
and of course can make calls and send texts, the usual phone stuff

[wheat plume]

Elon did only one good thing for Twitter since buying it and that was adding community notes

[umbral heron]

And continuously running it to the ground

[astral haven]

which he could have done without buying it because he already had enough voting shares to make such a minor change

[wheat plume]

yeah...

person showing off their rolex using a stock photo that isnt actually of them

probably satire lol

[final flame]

nah knowing twitter it isn't

[astral haven]

yea sometimes community notes miss the mark

[final flame]

they're based on votes

[astral haven]

yep
so something somewhat funny but was super easy to come up with will win over something that was thought of much later but is funnier

[crimson wigeon]

It's the best feature on twitter tbh

[wheat plume]

🤢 he doesnt realise BetterHelp are fucked right??????

cant believe they are trying their luck again sponsering people once more

[crimson wigeon]

Who what?

[ashen spindle]

and when

the where is probably youtube

[astral haven]

i saw a new sponsorship posted last week, I think that now that they have settled, its probably gonna come back

[wheat plume]

betterhelp sponsored many youtubers a few years ago
but it was eventually found they treated patients with no care at all, sometimes even recording the private sessions and leaking them to other coworkers to watch and laugh at, they also suffered a data breach with all customer private sessions leaked onto the web

they also apparently were fairly LGBT-phobic so any LGBT patients got basically the "have you thought you might just be seeking attention" excuse from their therapist

[ashen spindle]

they were or they still are

[wheat plume]

idk

definetly were

[marsh glade]

My understanding is that they are a rent-a-therapist service that is pretty much just a SAAS with little to no oversight over the people they allow to offer services on their platform

[wheat plume]

yeah..

[marsh glade]

So this sounds like a bad contractor/therapist and has little to do with the business itself

[astral haven]

its also worth noting, they are not that big a company, so if you take a relatively rare demographic, every single one of said rare demographic could have a terrible experience, and it could be a single person who did it and could already have been fired

now if they dont fire them? and it happens repeatedly with different employees? then you have a problem to fix

[vagrant pagoda]

Isn't saas software as a service? This is more just a Fiverr subscription for therapy

[astral haven]

i think betterhelp actually has employees

ok they have employees and contractors, interesting

[vagrant pagoda]

The therapist are contracted

But I'd imagine the software/infrastructure is full time employment

[astral haven]

this is a contract position

this is a full time position

they have both employees and contractors for their therapist positions specifically

[vagrant pagoda]

What is the difference?

Both say the same shit

[astral haven]

1 is an employee, the other is a contractor

[vagrant pagoda]

The one supposedly for a employee literally says that it's still a commission job?

[astral haven]

idk theres probably some region that bans contract work under some scenarios

[gusty kiln]

almost 2 weeks of usage and my GPX2 still has 44% battery

granted it's running at 1k and hybrid mode

[zenith silo]

Yeah gpx just has good battery life

[wheat plume]

whats that?

[astral haven]

Now they could actually be evil and lying on the job postings, but med stuff is pretty crazy

[astral haven]

Logitech mouse

[wheat plume]

ah

[steep creek]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5poVsIeq3TM

[astral haven]

that video would be 5 minutes shorter if you cut out ai

[steep creek]

no doubt about that lol

[crimson wigeon]

But AI is the future!

And present!

[steep creek]

they are comparing the chip against the base m3

[astral haven]

yea im really sad they dont have any high power chips

it peaks around the max power draw of the base m3 as well

[steep creek]

i just went to their product page in hopes of finding a higher performing one but seems this is the best for now

[astral haven]

they really shouldnt have called it x elite

they should have called it x1 or just x, and the x elite and x ultra above that

[steep creek]

yea should have waited til some more poweful chip comes

[analog sinew]

everything has to be X ULTRA PREMIUM CREME DE LA CREME PAINT HUFFERS CHOICE+

[cursive summit]

Ahahahaha

https://www.techspot.com/news/102727-apple-have-slashed-vision-pro-production-canceled-next.html

[steep creek]

later on in the video they stopped comparing the m3 lol

[astral haven]

ofc, m3 is irrelevant because it cant do the same things at all

[cursive summit]

I saw so much sheep saying Vision Pro is a big deal

[steep creek]

im thinking about the power efficiency graphs

[cursive summit]

3.5k pricepoint says otherwise lol

I bet not many people buy it

[turbid crane]

https://tenor.com/view/holi-gif-25440222

[ashen spindle]

lets hope the X elite will work at least

[steep creek]

yea competition will be nice i guess but im doubtful for now

[wheat plume]

🤔 what phone is this??
Nothing Phone 2, maybe??

I like the way it looks, flat edges are nice

[cursive summit]

It's a pixel

Probably

Google Lens finds a bunch of phones, one of em is Pixel of sorts

[wheat plume]

Pixel dont have flat sides like that

[astral haven]

very fair, but also lets see how snappy it really is, and will it even be able to play games?

[cursive summit]

Samsung S24?

[wheat plume]

maybe

[umbral heron]

S24 has bigger corners

[cursive summit]

Well fucking hell then Lana go and do your own homework

[wheat plume]

Im trying xd

[steep creek]

will be interesting to see real world performance, games for sure, also interested to see how well it runs non native apps

[cursive summit]

Lens it, use a reverse image search, and look for it

[astral haven]

well they already mentioned a few non native apps, chrome included right?

[wheat plume]

Lens just brings up articles on how to find your phone model number xd

wait, R1 is out now??
https://youtu.be/LyXrziKPv9g

[astral haven]

embargo drop, dont think its really out yet

[steep creek]

i might be wrong here but way i understood it, these apps are optimized

[astral haven]

those apps are explictly optimized

[turbid crane]

I kind of want the viper v3 pro but it's $160

[astral haven]

the rest will have to survive with the implicit optimization that happened to make these apps run well

[wheat plume]

THE R1 IS 899 dollars??!??

wasnt it meant to be cheaper than the Humane AI Pin?

[steep creek]

yep, im sorta hoping it performs well

[ashen spindle]

dont think the prices will make sense for people to get it though

cant see it being cheap enough while WoA still wont be smooth

[astral haven]

just look it up, its not that hard

[wheat plume]

oh 199.... ok good

her accent made it sound like she said 899....

[steep creek]

yea fair, maybe in the long run woa will be better

[astral haven]

while true, I dont think they will far that flat on their face

[pale sigil]

What's this for

[astral haven]

if the chip is legitimately 20% faster, a 10% virtualization loss shouldnt be that bad in the end

[ashen spindle]

not just performance, WoA is just not as bug free still

[steep creek]

apps optimized for arm on windows or snapdragon x chip i guess

[ashen spindle]

also 20% faster than what?

[pale sigil]

Ohh

[ashen spindle]

definitely not faster than strix

[pale sigil]

The shitty windows store versions I'm guessing

[astral haven]

well its over 20% faster than 7840

[ashen spindle]

it allegedly is faster in unknown testing cases in their not 3rd part reviews

[astral haven]

first, when there is a windows store app, its the same exact app
second most of these dont have windows apps

[steep creek]

video linked bit up in the chat if you wanna watch it, they say it should perform well

oh sorry wrong ping^^

meant to reply to pleasant lol

[astral haven]

geekbench, speedometer, etc

[ashen spindle]

I know what they tested but we dont know the configurations in detail and if those tests are accurate etc.

[smoky frigate]

I can train it to fake order pizza to random addresses? based

[astral haven]

idk, if they are that far out to lunch with such specific graphs, they probably will get sued

those graphs are not as specific as amd or intel do, but they are closer to amd/intel than they are to apple style

[ashen spindle]

doesnt have to be if its what they get internally or can project but then drivers are like arc/rdna1 and just suck and dont get it consistently etc.

it's a big claim without much to back it up still so it's just unclear

[astral haven]

is it really that big of a claim tho?

we got these 50 apps working

[ashen spindle]

talking bout the performance claims

[astral haven]

whats crazy about them?

[ashen spindle]

how far ahead its supposed to be on the competition at the time for a company that only made phone chips before

[astral haven]

they are worse perf/watt than said phone chips

[ashen spindle]

thats to be expected

you cant scale something from 1 to 1000w perfectly

[smoky frigate]

https://web.archive.org/web/20240423183114/https://github.com/rabbitscam/rabbitr1

[vagrant pagoda]

Minimum power is more important than maximum power for mobile.

[astral haven]

sure but the smartphone chips were already only 20% behind the desktop chips in geekbench, and they are 5x? 4x?ing the power usage

[smoky frigate]

this got posted yesterday and github has taken it down, CEO claims the language model is run elsewhere

[marsh glade]

Most people only use 5 apps, probably at least 4 out of 5 of them are on this list, if not 5

[astral haven]

except for gamers

[vagrant pagoda]

Unless you count a game store as one app

[astral haven]

the game store is a launcher for other apps that is an app itself

unless its a game built into the game store like the steam sales

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean at what point is it a separate app

[astral haven]

when it shows up separately in the app list

[marsh glade]

Maybe the statement was apps from 5 companies

[steep creek]

yea i guess if this is your usecase, it looks like a great computer

[astral haven]

these are different apps from different companies lol

[astral haven]

basically anyone who hasnt bought into the apple nonsense but only needs a mac

i would be extremely shocked if this were different from apple where they just built a ton of really neat accelerators

[steep creek]

lol, i guess if you only use these type of things might as well be running linux without noticing much of a difference

[astral haven]

except windows has better compatibility and is harder to break

[steep creek]

yea true but if you live in a browser doubt it matters that much

or maybe if you donwload things

[astral haven]

youd be shocked how bad linux can be
now it doesnt always end up that bad, but times 300m users, it ends up bad

[vagrant pagoda]

So if I clear the registry Ill have zero apps?

[astral haven]

i mean yes, but I dont think that sentence says what you think it means

[steep creek]

my experience on linux has been extremely hit and miss, on mint it was misreable, on popos its been great

[vagrant pagoda]

The app list is just reading the registry it has nothing to do with actually being an app

[smoky frigate]

seconded, good distro makes all the difference

[pale sigil]

Watching the video

[vagrant pagoda]

A portable app is still an app

[pale sigil]

Inb4 they make a snapdragon x max too

[smoky frigate]

snapdragon XXX

[astral haven]

and yet if you remove it from the registry, its just a program or even just an executable not an app

[vagrant pagoda]

Why

[astral haven]

because thats how it is

[vagrant pagoda]

For you I guess

[astral haven]

apps by definition are a concept created by popular opinion unlike programs or executables which are technical things

[vagrant pagoda]

App is just short for application, which is a name for non operating system programs.

[astral haven]

wrong

[vagrant pagoda]

That's literally the definition

[astral haven]

app carries more meaning than application thanks to how language works

[vagrant pagoda]

Source?

It's literally shorthand for application

[solemn remnant]

src

[vagrant pagoda]

It's even used as shorthand for non computer uses of application

[astral haven]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pusillanimous
the shorthand of this word carries a ton of different meaning from the word itself

theres no source for how slang is used, you just have to talk to people and understand the meaning

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes and I've heard app used for job applications and collage applications

Also the existence of web apps makes your definition moot, they don't show up on any app list

[astral haven]

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=app
urban dictionary has 39 pages of definitions

[vagrant pagoda]

They are completely portable

[astral haven]

heck are you talking about???

[vagrant pagoda]

Is that the program or the webpage?

[astral haven]

its neither, its an app

[vagrant pagoda]

Discord exists as a web app on your browser, and a specialist browse program you can download

[vagrant pagoda]

Dose that show up in your program list?

Is every shortcut I make a app then?

[astral haven]

of course it doesnt, im just making up random bs examples just to spite you /s

[smoky frigate]

I think app started out as a neologism for programs on phones but it's becoming the generic term for programs

[vagrant pagoda]

It existed way before smart phones

[astral haven]

no it did not

[smoky frigate]

I have never heard anyone use the word "app" before the iphone

[astral haven]

people always said application, program prior to specifically the app stores (cydia i believe was first)

[vagrant pagoda]

App existed in dos days as shorthand for application

And it was used for decades before that as shorthand for application for job and collage applications

[astral haven]

yep, and those are different meanings of the words

[vagrant pagoda]

App is still just short hand for application

[astral haven]

here is usage of the word on google prior to 2007

[vagrant pagoda]

Still short hand for application

[astral haven]

for that matter heres program

[vagrant pagoda]

What dose that have to do with app/application?

[astral haven]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysemy

[vagrant pagoda]

You haven't shown anything to prove app isnt just short hand for application

[astral haven]

application and application are a subset of homonyms called polysemes

a polyseme is when you have the same symbol (in this case word) with the same origin, but different meanings

its not a homonym because the meaning isnt unrelated, but they share a common source

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes and every example you give of app is still short hand for application

[astral haven]

what does application mean

Merriam has 6 definitions, 5 of which are commonly used
dictionary.com has 10, 8 of which are commonly used
the question has such a complicated answer because its language, and languages are complicated
the meaning of the word is in how it is used, and while english doesnt have a formal distinction between formal and informal tenses, the formal and informal words have different meanings thanks to how they are used

[smoky frigate]

BY CLICKING YES YOU FORFEIT ANY RIGHT TO GO BACK

[analog sinew]

it's crazy how the best thing ms does with its huge marketshare is shit like this

[wheat plume]

ayooo, Fedora 40 upgrade :D

Time for Gnome 46 too

[smoky frigate]

they are shipping it only now?

[mental helm]

everyday i get closer to maining linux os, these AI assistant ads are fucking annoying

[crimson wigeon]

What ads?

[wheat plume]

these ads and CoPilot

[crimson wigeon]

I've yet to see one

[smoky frigate]

one of us! one of us! (maybe one day)

[mental helm]

I keep getting the ""TRY COPILOT NOW" bullshit

[wheat plume]

gross

[crimson wigeon]

Is this a EU benefit or just a benefit from going through settings?

[wheat plume]

proably settings

[mental helm]

def not an EU benefit

I am in the EU

[wheat plume]

yeah

they do it everywhere

[umbral heron]

Bing ads, Copilot ads, random apps from MS Store installing after OS installation and major updates...

[wheat plume]

I remember back in Windows 10, it kept trying to push Cortana onto me yet Cortana wasnt available in Ireland .-. so I literalyl could not use the sevice they kept nagging me to try

[smoky frigate]

I never ran anything but LTSC, so I got spared a lot of the low IQ garbage

[reef patrol]

I am so glad to be on one of those reduced Win11 installs. Cause I ain't getting any of the ads.

[crimson wigeon]

I'm on pro so I get reduced bullshit as well methinks

[wheat plume]

yeah you do

[mental helm]

I have a spare m.2 collecting dust I might just use a linux OS drive

[smoky frigate]

I think win11 LTSC is due this year, so there is an option for people who can't stand the bullshit but don't want to switch

[wheat plume]

its the most used OS, people got to choice but to take this BS from them if they want to keep using the OS

[mental helm]

quick, shill me your linux distros

[umbral heron]

Start with Mint

[mental helm]

sold

[smoky frigate]

Pop OS is probably the best overall, though outdated at the moment

[mental helm]

I use a raspberry pi as a network pihole, but never used it on my main system

[wheat plume]

Fedora

rock solid and cleannnnn

[steep creek]

last night i was too close to installing arch

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/dew-it-galactic-republic-palpatine-gif-21847982

[smoky frigate]

installing arch is the trial by fire

[wheat plume]

I love Arch, but sometimes the modularity pisses me off cause something small in the desktop may be slightly not working right and id not know wha tpackage to install to fix it but that same issue would not happen in something like Fedora or PopOS cause they have all the correct packages installed already

[steep creek]

gonna full send it, just want to get done with my lab which is next week

[mental helm]

installing mint, wuck findows

[wheat plume]

install Arch guide

• boot off USB into Arch live session
• Connect to wifi using the iwm tool
• run ``archinstall` script
• go through the script to make the choices you want
• Install
• Wait
• Reboot

[steep creek]

its a great script but i wanna do it on my own, feels more fun that way haha

[wheat plume]

here we go

first time going an inplace upgrade

[halcyon moss]

Try gentoo then

[crimson wigeon]

Gentoo is more fun to install tbh

[wheat plume]

ive seen an ASMR Gentoo install xd

[steep creek]

uhh am still kinda new to the linux side, i would probably spend too long with gentoo

[halcyon moss]

I ran gentoo for years. More that 10 years ago

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/CopPj3S3YQ0

[halcyon moss]

Mechanical keyboard and fan noise

[crimson wigeon]

Gentoo also is or was pretty easy to install, since my first time it had a graphical installer on the live CD

[halcyon moss]

Whaaaay

No

[crimson wigeon]

This would have been in like 2008 or so, maybe 2007

[halcyon moss]

That can't be.

No more stage 1?

[crimson wigeon]

Stage 1 and 2 installs haven't been recommended for years, infact stage 3 is the only supported way these days me thinks, and was even back then strongly recommended

[smoky frigate]

arch had a fairly simple installer too at some point, like 2009-10 ish. it worked! but arch was capital D Dog Shit at that time

[mental helm]

the white monster can, the struggle to open the can, it's perfect

[wheat plume]

the pause at 10 minutes to light a candle

[umbral heron]

Remember, it's a slippery slope
First time I installed Arch it took me 6 tries for it to work properly
Now I know the whole process by heart

[halcyon moss]

Yeah I never did a full stage 1 or 2. Getting a proper bootstrap en is just so much easier

[wheat plume]

this is taking so long to download

[halcyon moss]

It's probably many gigs

[wheat plume]

probably

[mental helm]

the ritual and prayer to linus

[wheat plume]

but it should only download the differences, right???

[wheat plume]

heheh

[halcyon moss]

But yeah.. First Linux install.. I can recommend a working out of the box experience

[wheat plume]

and to push the Arch daemons out

[mental helm]

🤣🤣

[wheat plume]

is it spelled deamons or daemons? I always forget

[smoky frigate]

daemon

[wheat plume]

aha

[halcyon moss]

What differences? Probably most packages have been upgraded

[smoky frigate]

imagine it's some sort of pokemon, then you'll remember it

[wheat plume]

XD

[solemn remnant]

or just this

[wheat plume]

Ubuntu's gnome shell theme is GORGEOUS

is there a way to install it on Fedora??

I cant find it on their github, just build files idk how to build

Unless I copy the theme directly from an Ubuntu install...

[smoky frigate]

julia roberts scares the shit out of me

[solemn remnant]

she aged gracefully though

[smoky frigate]

fucking hell dude

[wheat plume]

Anyone here know why my GTK4 theme wont stay applied after a reboot?

[ashen spindle]

heres to hoping linux supports what I need by the time win10 is EOL

[wheat plume]

despite overriding the default css files

[wheat plume]

what software you need?

[ashen spindle]

gsync support on multiple monitors with HDR

[wheat plume]

Gsync works on Gnome and Plasma, HDR works on Plasma desktop

[umbral heron]

HDR works with KDE, About GSync... there's hoping for NVK

[wheat plume]

wait, do you have nvidia?

[smoky frigate]

iirc the default ubuntu theme for everything is called Yaru? I changed the accent color in gnome's default theme to purple, and it looks exactly the same

[ashen spindle]

... gsync is nvidia only so yes

[wheat plume]

are both your monitors the same refresh rate?

[ashen spindle]

no

[wheat plume]

yeah but idk how to apply it to my GTK4 or LibAdwaita apps

the app called Evolve claims to do it but it doesnt stay after I reboot

[ashen spindle]

I know hdr is starting to work under some but everything combined I didnt see working anywhere yet

[umbral heron]

Works great on Deck

[ashen spindle]

gsync does?

[smoky frigate]

activate the user themes extension and select it in the gnome tweaks app

[wheat plume]

yeah that only does Gnome Shell and GTK3 apps

[umbral heron]

Look, HDR working is already something to celebrate

[smoky frigate]

shell is the theme, though, or am I STUPID?

[steep creek]

lol

[umbral heron]

Shell is bash, zsh, etc.

Gnome is a desktop environment

[wheat plume]

Tweaks doesnt do GTK4

[smoky frigate]

naw, I mean in the gnome tweaks dialog. Gnome calls the theme selection "shell" for god knows why

[ashen spindle]

exactly which is why im not highly confident getting everything to work nicely together that soon

[wheat plume]

Cause Gnome desktop is basically just the gnome-shell package + Core Apps + Mutter

[smoky frigate]

I read a while ago that Mutter makes up more than half of gnome's codebase

[crimson wigeon]

I hacked HDR support into sway as well, although that's all. It only switches the monitor into HDR, doesn't do any tonemapping so it looks very very wrong

[umbral heron]

On AMD it most likely will
On Nvidia... Well, work on NVK and Nova are moving really fast now, so maybe in near future... who knows?

[wheat plume]

Yikes..
I don't doubt that

[smoky frigate]

it was written in shit on a public bathroom wall, but I still believe it

[wheat plume]

:')

I'm excited for Cosmic desktop

System76 are making good progress on it

[steep creek]

my hot take is i like whatever DE popos is using over stock gnome

[wheat plume]

PopOS is gnome with a fuck ton of extensions enabled

Really old gnome though

Before gnome 40

[steep creek]

aha, it looks so different i thought it was their own spinoff

[wheat plume]

Nope....not yet

[smoky frigate]

I hope they didn't bite off more than they could chew. the desktop environment was fine as it was, but maybe what they're cooking up is plain better

[wheat plume]

That's what's cosmic is for

[steep creek]

i see

[wheat plume]

They wanted away from gnome for a while

[ashen spindle]

yeah I dont doubt it will come I just hope its all in place so I can use it before I need to ditch win10 xD

[wheat plume]

Nearly done the upgrade

To fedora 40

[cursive summit]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/24/24138949/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ads-recommendations-setting-disable

So, do not update as a windows 11 user, do not upgrade to 11 as a 10 user, got it

[ashen spindle]

yes welcome to the reason we just talked about operating systems

[cursive summit]

Just scrolled up like 300 messages and couldn't see that article or a related thing posted

[wheat plume]

FINALLY......

fucking helll this took too long

Also

did Gnome 46 fix font rendering???

it looks way better

or maybe im just being silly

[cursive summit]

https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-decoded-ray-reconstruction/

[umbral heron]

Daily update - 9 seconds

[wheat plume]

yeah cause thats just the browser xd

nice plasma default wallpaper you got there :D

tbf, its gorgeous wallpaper

[sharp badger]

Haven't got anything yet

[wheat plume]

Ilove that game <3

everytime I see your pfp, I think of it

[umbral heron]

Yeah, wallpaper-engine-plugin crashed again

[wheat plume]

XD

it do be like that

ooo the new Gnome 46 notifications are much prettier

sound aint working....

[smoky frigate]

coulda set your output to something stupid

[wheat plume]

help

[marsh glade]

That's what I love about Linux. The freedom to set your sound output to your keyboard, whether you wanted to or not.

[wheat plume]

this is a laptop....there is no fucking HDMI

[umbral heron]

Hammer 1: systemctl --user restart pipewire pulseaudio pipewire-pulse wireplumber
Hammer 2: reboot
Hammer 3: reinstall sof-firmware, reboot

[smoky frigate]

well there you go

my gut feeling wins AGAIN

[crimson wigeon]

You're not supposed to use --user when running it through sudo

[crimson wigeon]

You're also not supposed to sudo those services since they run as user

[wheat plume]

AAGHH

[smoky frigate]

go to gnome sound options and set your output to "speakers" or equivalent, that should do it

[wheat plume]

one sec

[pale sigil]

Just Linux problems

[wheat plume]

there is no options

in the dropdown

[umbral heron]

sof-firmware then, had this same issue on my work HP laptop

[wheat plume]

is that the Arch package name?

[umbral heron]

Yup, on Fedora it's alsa-sof-firmware iirc

[wheat plume]

already installed

[umbral heron]

Reboot then I guess

[pale sigil]

Just Linux problems

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-quiet-gif-8316632

We need #linux_talk

[smoky frigate]

every discussion inevitably veers towards it

[wheat plume]

I rebooted

still no good :/

I can do a clean install but I cant be assed to copy over all my documents

[smoky frigate]

google "<your laptop model> pipewire no sound booby tits"

[umbral heron]

Hmm... maybe an issue with sound module? lsmod | grep snd

[umbral heron]

Looks ok...

Aite, pactl list sinks?

[wheat plume]

sont have pactl

but I have this

now I have pactl

[umbral heron]

So the only sink pw sees is HDMI output

[wheat plume]

apparently....

gnome settings sees the laptop speakers though

well, only when my headphones are plugged in....

[umbral heron]

Laptop's haunted

[wheat plume]

wait,, only when I plug them in then back out again

[umbral heron]

Maybe Gnome is setting speakers as inactive? I had that issue with KDE, and then pipewire wouldn't see that output as sink either

[wheat plume]

hmm how would I check?

[steep creek]

this is totally intentional, because moonlander has a built in speaker and a music mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMVli6-jpsA

[jagged cloak]

Question, what mice do you guys use? I'm currently using a razer deathadder v2 pro but I hate their software and want to move away from it.
But I do need two buttons ontop under the scroll wheel as I'm used to using those to trigger autohotkey 😅
So recommendations for wireless mice would be nice even better if it doesn't require constant software to run.

[umbral heron]

I believe alsamixer from alsa-utils should detect all sound cards/outputs regardless of Gnome settings
As for how change it in Gnome... I have no idea, never used it

[umbral heron]

If you want to trigger app/ahk, then the app running in background will be necessary, something needs to interact with OS on app level
I use Deathadder v3, very nice mouse, you can set DPI through button on the bottom, so I never used companion app even once

[crimson wigeon]

wpctl status is the way to check status still, and alsamixer is good for seeing what gets detected, apparently nothing much is getting detected it would seem

Probably dmesg has clues as to what went wrong

[umbral heron]

Speakers should be with Intel's PCH* one

[jagged cloak]

unless the mice allow for button remapping without software running? If I tell it to trigger F13 orsomething unless that is not possible? 🤔

[umbral heron]

Ah, that is possible, yes

[jagged cloak]

That is all I would need since my AHK looks for F13 + something else :p

[wheat plume]

huh? how check?

[umbral heron]

Maybe something Logitech then? I know I could remap stuff on my G502 and save it to onboard memory

G502 but it looks so odd compared to what I'm used to 😅
But it might be nice with the way it's shaped for a thumb to rest.

[crimson wigeon]

Also another useful tool to have: pavucontrol

[wheat plume]

oh yeah

forgot about that

lets see what that can do

[umbral heron]

Helvum is also nice gui tool
I completely forgot about wpctl though

[wheat plume]

.-.

[crimson wigeon]

Configuration tab is what you should look at in this situation

[wheat plume]

WAIT OMFH

CONFIGURATION TAB FTW

FUCK YEAH

PAVUCONTROL, I LOVE YOU

HEHEHE

ok wtf

this sounds way better than before the upgrade too

O.o

Did Fedora do that or what??? im so confused but I aint complaining

[vagrant fog]

How is the display connected?

[wheat plume]

idfk

some internal connector

[umbral heron]

eDP most likely

[wheat plume]

maybe yeah

[fair gull]

given that most laptops use eDP id join calslock and say its most likely eDP

not to mention that yes laptops nowadays can still come with full HDMI/DP ports

[wheat plume]

Mine only does Display out via USB C

but my dock turns that into HDMI

[ashen spindle]

and take a guess what usbc uses to show DISPLAY out

[fair gull]

duh it uses usbc quin

smh

[wheat plume]

idk the conversion shit USB C does to make HDMI work over it

[ashen spindle]

usbc transfers displays signal via displayport protocol

or in short usbc = displayport

[fair gull]

i mean technically there was HDMI alt mode once

but it lost to DP

[ashen spindle]

thank god

[wheat plume]

DP FTW

[fair gull]

the issue was that HDMI alt mode never went above 1.4 i believe and DP alt mode can do newer HDMI over DP

and one day HDMI will die on PCs and TVs as well being replaced by DP gigachad

[gusty kiln]

anyone know the pro/cons of using CRD vs windows RDP?

[sour root]

Just so yall know the foam that come with the wooting u can use it for the apex mini

[molten sluice]

Is there I mic mute that I could put on layer 1

[vagrant fog]

that would be great but sounds like a macro thing

[reef patrol]

There is no key for mic mute in Windows.

[molten sluice]

Someone smarter than me should figure that out, haha.

[vagrant fog]

I'm going to look into it

I'm going to write a Python program that mutes and unmutes mic and then Wootimation can run a file on keypress, not ideal but I like nerdy stuff.

Little reminder Apple were not the first to a touchscreen

Apple really didn't invent anything I don't think

[umbral heron]

Not really in the hardware space, they popularized stuff rather than invented it
But they put a lot of work into CUPS and LLVM/Clang

[lyric hatch]

Wozniak made a bunch of stuff but since him not much

Man this channel had a big fall off but glad Wendells still doing well https://youtu.be/wFeC25BM9E0

[fair gull]

they usually just execute previously invented tech very well and ofc have the advantage of the highly restrictive ecosystem

[viscid wolf]

What monitor good for fps,360hz, nice on the budget (dont care about backlight strobing)

[ashen spindle]

check rtings/monitors unboxed/tftcentral for buying options and local prices

[umbral heron]

Samsung Odyssey G4 is pretty good and cheap IPS but 240Hz
I believe G6s are 360Hz

Discord.....if you want to convince me to buy nitro...you need to fix your dialog boxes

[bleak cosmos]

Question: my left WINDOWS key stopped working. Light went out too. Even stranger: when applying settings from Wootility the light goes on again, but not functioning. Light goes out after a while. Dead!
I switched WINDOWS-LEFT to different key and that's working fine.
I have a Wooting One. Can it be fixed?

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258 best to make a post there

[raw zephyr]

Reading this message back..

[wheat plume]

Yup....

[old marlin]

Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx

actual product name

[wheat plume]

....ew

Is it also capitalized like that?

[old marlin]

yes

[wheat plume]

🤢

Nintendo gonna sue them

They got Mii in it's name

[raw zephyr]

It all makes sense now

[ashen spindle]

https://vxtwitter.com/BenchLeaks/status/1783439918183657549 seems like we start getting zen5 samples leaked

[distant tapir]

Is that score good?

[halcyon moss]

it requires more context

[ashen spindle]

Yes if that’s real that’s a good score and there have been a few results in the last day

Should comfortably shoot it past whatever intel does with next gen and launches first

Depends what final clocks will be like but at same speed it does much better

But we could be looking at the biggest uplift in the entire Zen generation

[umbral heron]

And so it is
Order of 4x Mac Mini M1 and 2x 1U rack mounts for them, they should arrive Monday
Time to add some macos workers to cicd

[crimson wigeon]

Thank you for your service

[umbral heron]

At work thankfully

[ashen spindle]

But why

You could have good options instead

Or at least not deal with xcode

[umbral heron]

Oh nono
All I will do with them is to run cargo build and curl from safe space of GitLab
I won't touch them otherwise

[steep creek]

xcode no thank you

[umbral heron]

Alright, I have to admit
Powershell is pretty ok
Its syntax is a bit weird, but you can do arcane stuff with it like on bash, pretty cool

[fair gull]

better than bash

bash is sort of like windows batch files. powershell is the evolution where you basically get the power of js/py but in a shell environment

I really liked that HTC phone, bought a Nexus 6 after that one

Best monitors of first 4 months of 2024?

HU really sucks at titles

2024 isn't even halfway over

[analog sinew]

sucks or clickbaits

[ashen spindle]

Or monitor roadmaps are known and it’s currently the up to date recommendations

And that’s what people would search for if they got not idea

Current year+ product

[cursive summit]

So it's literally clickbait

[ashen spindle]

How is it clickbait

[cursive summit]

I hope there'll be a microled display this year

[vagrant pagoda]

Lmao

Yeah there is one coming to actual market. It's 89 inch

And it's only a 100 grand

The 76 is supposedly a 2025 launch for 80k

[vagrant pagoda]

You really think MicroLED is anywhere near a cost effective consumer monitor level?

It will be like the first OLED monitor. 20k+ pro units

[halcyon moss]

HTC one was the bestest phone.. Camera sucked.. But it was a good and good looking phone.

I got a Samsung s6 after... And it was the worst phone I've ever had :p

[smoky frigate]

HTC phones always had something special about them

didn't google absorb most of their phone development team for pixel phones?

[halcyon moss]

Yup

[smoky frigate]

maybe I should have gotten a pixel then, instead of Motorola

[halcyon moss]

If you want a Lenovo phone.. You get motorola

[smoky frigate]

well it was 200bux, not too much lost if it suddenly becomes a turd

[halcyon moss]

China phone :p

[smoky frigate]

my last china phone managed to live from 2020 till this year, that ain't too bad

but it's no HTC 😛

I always have a spare HTC phone in my drawer for emergencies, not charged in years, still working every time

[sharp badger]

Yes

[wheat plume]

Update:
The phone I was trying to identify yesterday might be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13

got them flat edges

[cursive summit]

Ah, so it's shit

[wheat plume]

you say that to any phone I mention even if its not a China phone

what phone do you like?

[cursive summit]

You only ever talk about china phones or pixels lol

[wheat plume]

do you like Samsung phones?

[cursive summit]

Nah, bloated
