RIP OxygenOS 😢
cursive summit
Zenfones was it?
wheat plume

Small and cute

Oxygen OS was poo though
wheat plume
that small Zenphone looked amazing but it was way too expensive 😢
it was like 900 Euro
and it was garbage compared to the larger one that was just 100 more
too much missing features
cursive summit
Tbf there really aren't many cool phones out
wheat plume
yeah...
cursive summit
I have a thing for Samsung Fold but it has a scratchy plastic screen which is wtf
Asus Zenfones I read were cancelled or something?
Sony is just Sony, good but overpriced

Anyways Zenfones are very similar to those mini-Apple phones they used to make
What were they called
distant tapir
I have a Zenfone 10. And now the 11 is some giant garbage.
cursive summit
And I can always appreciate a good mini-phone
distant tapir
Are there ANY good small ones left?

Pixel 6A is the last good small phone and the recent small Zenphone if you can afford it

Zenfone 10 even has a headphone jack.

Pixel might be cool if a) It wasn't google 2) It didn't run a Tensor processor

c) are not constantly uppricing their phones lol

Every Pixel is continuously more expensive than the last

Why do Xiaomi limit the "Always" On Display to only showing on screen for 10 seconds after you lockthe phone on their cheaper phones?!?!?!
thats not ALWAYS on

Stupid earbuds
wheat plume
I hate the yellow but you can get them in black or white too
cursive summit
Yay, shitty apple design
More trashbuds eh
Just get what's proven to sound good and are reliable
(literally Sonys)
wheat plume
Sony's cost like 200 at minimum
cursive summit
Sure, and how much are those, 150?
cursive summit
And both will have ass features
Like transparency that doesn't work, half assed ANC
wheat plume
I never use those LOL
cursive summit
Anyone can do battery life so if they fuck up there it's embarrassing
wheat plume
though my earbuds dont have any of that...
cursive summit
I don't use transparency or ANC but for whatever reason for some people it's a valid consideration factor
wheat plume
i dont use my earbuds in public cause I get irrational fears of people being too close to me without me hearing they are there first
cursive summit
XM4s are like 200 or whatever, they are good at everything
wheat plume
idk, wireless buds only last like 3 years before the battery becomes trash :/
cursive summit
Not on my melomanias lol
wheat plume
oh?

Battery showing its age but holding well
Though I fucked them by submerging them in water and they are only IP53 I think

Ceramic Diaphram
Nothing, what does that mean???
cursive summit
Meh they served me for like 4 years now
cursive summit

Nothing, what does that mean???
You mean a ceramic diaphragm?
cursive summit
Diaphragm is, afaik, the part of the driver that moves to make a sound
Dynamic drivers, planars have that
Prolly also electrostats
cursive summit
Planars are a bit different in that matter that the diaphragm doesn't actually move iirc
Idk diaphragms are always marketed with different materials as if it matters to the consumers
Nobody has a clue wtf you are saying
Consumers tend to be notoriously dumb so they eat up shit products like it's nothing (pun)
Just.. respect yourself and get a Sony if you need wireless inears
wheat plume
id like not to have wireless buds but my phone and my tablet dont have headphones jacks .-.
and if I use USB C to jack adapter then I cant charge it at the same time
cursive summit
Get a phone that does
Tablets are.. nowadays a lost hope afaik for headphone jacks, none of them have one
wheat plume
which sucks .-.
cursive summit
Meh but dongles that allow for charging and usb-c/3.5mm exist
wheat plume
cause they have no excuse not to cause they are huge

the product software longevity on apple stuff is insane I give em that
cursive summit
Android just keeps pestering you with undisableable update pop ups, slows down your phone long term when installing updates, and software updates are LITERALLY USELESS
cursive summit
Android 14, 15 etc literally add nothing of value
There was one update, like 12 or whatever that added Bluetooth LE support or something like that, and that was the only actually good update in years
cursive summit
Android "feature" updates are absolute trash and I hate them

really gotta know what you're looking for

Meanwhile apple releases features which have been on Android for 5+ years

usually it works well enough when they do though, which isn't always the case for android on launch

I'd rather have the feature at all then wait for Apple to implement it 5 years later

Battery is the biggest driver for me. If my old phone could hold a charge for an entire day, i'd still be using it.
cursive summit
Camera is prolly the only thing that meaningfully improves on phones nowadays
The SoC is plenty fast, battery life never improves
Cameras do get better though

battery is usually fine for first 6-12 months then starts to degrade more noticably

So it's literally the most horrible combination
Instead of "software updates suck but I mean it's really good software support"
Speaking of, iirc the 21:9 Xperia has pretty bad support as well, things don't scale well

My experience with software updates on Apple devices have been excellent, I don’t really have any complaints

but Kali should have one by default
maybe your college dont make it load up on boot up
fast wagon
yeah they’re nerfing us
wheat plume
My college had the most cursed Linux ive ever seen
It was Fedora but with Linux Mint icon pack, XFCE GTK theme, using fucking SDDM as login manager and had Budgie desktop
who TF put that abomination together?!
wheat plume
Fedora usually comes with gnome desktop, not Budgie
It also uses GDM instead of SDDM, cause SDDM is for Plasma desktop
Linux Mint icon theme is stolen from the Mint distro based on Ubuntu and not Fedora....
and XFCE is also yet another desktop they stole the GTK theme from
They had to go out of their way to create this shit
wheat plume
it didnt make the experience harder, just fucking strange
That college did bare minimum for everything, they did all their database management BY HAND, typing each SQL query in pure CLI
to go out of their for this makes no sense
fast wagon
they chose Hard Mode
wheat plume
yeah xd
fast wagon
do you use Linux as your main OS?
fast wagon
would it be hard to install Linux on a laptop with Windows 10 on it?
i have an old laptop and i feel like it could be a cool project
wheat plume
Nah, Fedora and Ubuntu support Secure Boot, so you dont even have to turn that off
halcyon moss
no, Linux is just CLI by default, if you dont use a desktop environment
If you want to go "well actually".. Linux starts a program. And that is usually an init demon and that starts a cli :p

wheat plume
If you want to go "well actually".. Linux starts a program. And that is usually ...

i wouldn’t mind wiping Windows entirely to make it a full Linux machine but idk how that would work
ashen spindle
you could also just run linux via WSL and keep the windows install
wheat plume
Its real easy :D Download something like Balena Etcher to write the Linux ISO file to a USB drive, then boot into that drive
wheat plume
and once you get to the live session, the installer will ask if you want to install or try it out, so click try it out to make sure the wifi and whatnot work

it is an exaggeration
I often tried new ones on my old laptop as a test

the only tedious part about changing OS often is backing up your files and copying them over .-. otherwise, the install process itself is about 20 minutes at most

It's an aluminum box with wires
Is it reinforced at least?
vagrant pagoda
Because of the linear motors?
No because it's corexy
empty wren
Oh okay
vagrant pagoda
Other linear motor printers are Cartesian as far as I've seen
And use flat linear motors
These are round rod based and are more efficient
empty wren
Hmm I know the magneto printer has linear motors but those are based on a line of magnetz
empty wren
Ahh
vagrant pagoda
On round linear motor the magnets are in a round shaft
And the motor stator fits around it
It's more efficient because only the magnets get accelerated
The stator can stay stationary
empty wren
Hmm makes sense now
empty wren
That is pretty good
vagrant pagoda
Can can do 8m/s+
empty wren
Shhit
That reminds of someone using Mitsubishi servos
Though most people do not bother with servos since need amplifiers or like odrive. Not to mention the print artifacts they cause. So what you are doing is the next best thing
empty wren
That sounds useful for a tool changers
vagrant pagoda
No need for belts
Belts are for when you have a motor with a gear
These move in and out directly
empty wren
Oh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you were using rope instead of belts before
vagrant pagoda
Attach rope to both ends of rotor shaft and use it to pull the carriage
My biggest issue is actually gantry rigidity
empty wren
I mean that makes sense
empty wren
My biggest issue is actually gantry rigidity
Ahhh if you can go 3030 extrusions
vagrant pagoda
I was using just normal kevlar belts and pulleys
empty wren
You could also fill them with sand
vagrant pagoda
But kept snapping
empty wren
Oof
vagrant pagoda
Issue was the linear rails can't handle the acceleration
empty wren
That makes sense
vagrant pagoda
At peak acceleration the balls don't spin and they bind
empty wren
That sounds like a total nightmare
Why are you running it that hard?
Is your hotend and extruder really able to keep up?
vagrant pagoda
Highspeed linear rails are big money
Hot end isn't an issue other than when you need retraction
Flow rate is only a limit when you have high max speed
Acceleration helps you have consistent flow rate
vagrant pagoda
Goal is to have it do atleast 45* turns would no reduction in speed
Maybe even 60s
empty wren
And achieve that in complex prints?
vagrant pagoda
90 doesn't seem possible with the current carriage weight
vagrant pagoda
And achieve that in complex prints?
Yeah
Prints aren't slow due to extruding limits generally
Printer spends most of its time accelerating and decelerating
empty wren
Well if you decrease that you will probably see layer shifts and other artifacts I imagine?
vagrant pagoda
The tighter the corner you can keep full speed the faster the print if your tool path makes use of it
Just faster prints
empty wren
The tighter the corner you can keep full speed the faster the print if your tool...
I get that
vagrant pagoda
Max 500mm/s is slower than constantly doing 50
Average speed makes your prints faster
empty wren
Close enough
vagrant pagoda
It's a core xy it can print skyscrapers if it can print 1 layer
empty wren
It's a 250x250x250 frame
Smaller machines just generally can run faster and have less issues.
vagrant pagoda
I have like 5 mosquitoes lol
empty wren
Oh
vagrant pagoda
I need to get a prime for my big boi
vagrant pagoda
It's a cheapo corexy 500mm with a super volcano running 3mm fil out of a 1.2mm nozzle
vagrant pagoda
I've got a 100w in the supervolcano now
vagrant pagoda
No need for water cooling as the flow rate keeps up
empty wren
Wait do you not have a chamber on it
empty wren
Okay makes sense then
Cuz a lot fans die after a while even if the bed is the heater in an enclosure
empty wren
No need for water cooling as the flow rate keeps up
These days now chube and Goliath can avoid a fan if one uses a metal mount
vagrant pagoda
Remember I'm talking peaking at 100+mm³/s
empty wren
Yeah that filament diameter you got helps you
vagrant pagoda
It is popular in bulk
empty wren
Ahhhhh
vagrant pagoda
You aren't getting 1kg spools
empty wren
So they do exist good to know
empty wren
Hmm
vagrant pagoda
I print 4x4 grid of 100mm parts bins in like 3 hours
empty wren
Wow
That makes me want to work on my ultimaker diy kit later it has a 2.85mm extruder and hotend
empty wren
Those perimeters are thick
vagrant pagoda
1.2mm nozzle
empty wren
Hmm all very interesting
vagrant pagoda
This isn't a mosquito
It's a super volcano
Hence why it only has a 1.2
E3d only make up to a 1.4
Reason I want the big boi mosquito is it used normal nozzles
You can get fucking 3mm nozzles for normal hotends
Which is how you would do with normal normal 40w
empty wren
Sorry I meant that
vagrant pagoda
ive tried drilling them out but it dosent work
vagrant pagoda
i mean 3mm nozzle
empty wren
I know the orbiter extruder has 2.85mm variant but they id about it
empty wren
Those are gonna be some massive lines
vagrant pagoda
SV uses custom long dick johnson nozzles
e3d only makes 5 sizes. 1.4,1.2,1.0,0.8, and 0.6
empty wren
Hmm the more you mention this more sense it begins to make about no water cooling
You also probably do not have to worry about pressure as much
vagrant pagoda
prime uses standard 7mm long nozzles
empty wren
Uh wow
empty wren
prime is also 150w
That thing might as well run off it's own power supply
vagrant pagoda
its mains 24v varible current supply
empty wren
empty wren
its mains 24v varible current supply
Ah
vagrant pagoda
my current one will do 300w
empty wren
Wait you use a cartridge heater on your bed?
vagrant pagoda
no
empty wren
Oh
vagrant pagoda
bed is just a grid of 24v 100mm 100w heaters
vagrant pagoda
yeah
empty wren
bed is just a grid of 24v 100mm 100w heaters
Silicone heaters?
vagrant pagoda
yeah
on a slab of alu with a pei sheet
knew i had them saved
think i ahve a set already
but 2mm nozzle dream

wheat plume
Wait no
Floating Action Buttons
Not radio buttons
I wanted 3 FABs at the bottom of the window
Spread evenly across the bottom
But in some situations only the outer two would show up because I didn't need the middle one for each item in the app
And anytime I went to a page that didn't need the middle on, the outer two buttons would freaking merge and overlap for no fucking reason
Despite me not removing the middle button
Just hiding it from view
So technically it was still on the page but not visible
And as soon as I made it visible
The buttons lined up properly
steep creek
Am sure my cs friend would relate to this a lot more, I haven’t tried android studio to relate

GNOME 46.1 is here a month after the release of GNOME 46 implementing explicit GNU synchronization support for users of NVIDIA hardware on Wayland to provide them with a performance boost and solve various graphic glitches. This was implemented in the Mutter window and composite manager.
However, you’ll still need to wait for a new NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver release that supports explicit sync. On the other hand, Mutter 46.1 also improves support for hybrid graphics by fixing several secondary GPU acceleration issues with the NVIDIA graphics driver, and fixes input lag on X11 with NVIDIA hardware.
Aha
Hybrid graphics on Linux is getting better!
Once Nvidia pushes a driver for it

Yeh
It swaps to integrated graphics for light tasks
And then uses the dedicate GPU for heavier shit

Hey!
Not sure if this is the good place to ask, but I intend to buy a new mouser this summer and I got some recommendations, was wandering what you guys thought about and if you also had a mouse to suggest
So I use a claw grip, and my hand is 18cm x 9cm, and budget isn't really that important
For the moment, I got 3 recommendations:
- Razer Viper V2
- Pulsar X2V2
- Zowie EC2-CW
Am kinda new to the whole mice thing so I'm not against a bit of help
tepid creek
Hey!

afaik nowayds all top tier wireless mice perform pretty much the same and the shape is the only significant difference. I personally use pro x superlight and I am very happy with it
tepid creek
Hey!

if you are not sure what shapes feel good in your hand you can go to local media store and see if they have any of your pics, so you can experience them before making a choice 🙂

Funny seeing people on r/OLED_gaming cope about how this is a nonexistent issue.
oled zealots always go on about how its the perfect technology and they've never ever in history seen an oled burn in or in any other way have less desirable traits
if you have issues its just you being a skill issue or smth
oleds looks great there's no denying it, but its still riddled with bs that puts me off the idea of one for my desktop

I mean there is a lot of people who don’t notice it and if you don’t play gams with dark scene you won’t notice it either even if you are more sensitive
So you have to look at each individual case
I would completely disagree it’s still riddled with bs, just has some things you need to be aware of
I only notice it when it drops low, on Alan wake 2 I had no issues with it
