[wild vigil]

it doesnt really matter

[wheat plume]

Ok good
It's on phones too

[final flame]

ew that corner radius difference

[wheat plume]

This is still beta

That being said.... Google may not notice this by release

Private Space is pretty cool
💜
Still not as good as Second Space on Xiaomi devices though

[halcyon moss]

what is it?

[umbral heron]

Maybe this? https://9to5google.com/2024/05/15/android-15-private-space/

Welp, here's your oxymoron of the day

[old marlin]

I mean same goes for any acc

[halcyon moss]

aah like samsung's secure folder that they have had for aaages

[lime agate]

Its crazy that the new ipad is already bend in the box😂

[balmy vector]

Prebent just for you!

[ashen spindle]

Pre bent at an angle you almost can’t even see without measuring isn’t really that insane

[old marlin]

https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/15/ios-17-5-bug-deleted-photos-reappear/

btw

[balmy vector]

If it aint bent i dont want it

[old marlin]

even restores images from old devices

that is like close to a worst case situation

[steep creek]

yikes lol

somehow i didnt update to 17.5 yet

[ashen spindle]

Nice now that’s a reason to update and see what randomly appears

[final flame]

Ah yes cloud services saving data longer then they should, how peculiar

[lime agate]

I hope i get that bug, i regret deleting some pics and hopefully they return

[old marlin]

doesn't happen to all people

[old marlin]

some of them have been deleted for years btw

OOPS

[final flame]

One of the reasons why I refuse to use cloud backups

[crimson wigeon]

But muh GDPR

[ashen spindle]

It could also be user issue and they never deleted it really

[old marlin]

nope

[ashen spindle]

Or a mix of both

[old marlin]

know a tech literate person which it happened to

[lime agate]

Is it only icloud or just also just regular iphone storage?

[old marlin]

not super sure

have not seen anything that would make it seem like it is not just icloud

but that is the worse one for sure

[final flame]

And the better thing is that nobody would've been none the wiser of their data being stored without this bug

[lime agate]

I mean windows does the same thing , if you unistall an progam or update an progam and it fails after the update, you can rollback a few hours earlier

[old marlin]

that is a very different thing

we are talking about data being stored in a cloud

that was deleted years ago

not just something that was scheduled for deletion

[final flame]

With windows it stores a actual copy on your drive

[old marlin]

which is how deleting images on icloud works

[ashen spindle]

Hmm I have like 600 unsynced pics because my free iCloud is full wonder if that would stop any from appearing

[final flame]

Same thing with the recovery tool on windows

[ashen spindle]

Also Windows only retains it if you have recovery for that enabled

[final flame]

Yea

[lime agate]

Never used icloud cause I prefer buying phones with large memory storage but if its also for non icloud pictures it kinda is the same but if you say years ago then its kinda mesmerizing

[final flame]

iCloud is enabled by default btw afaik

[ashen spindle]

Yeah even if you just have one pictures it’s synced by default

[lime agate]

I disabled it instantly after i got ads from apple that say my iCloud storage is full😂

[final flame]

I had to clean mine out from stuff years back

Same with Google photos

[lime agate]

Apple belike you buy 512gb phone lets enable 5gb “free” icloud storage instead 🤦‍♂️

[balmy vector]

[ashen spindle]

No secret deleted pics for me on the update sad

[fair gull]

same

also didnt get any secret deleted pics on my s10

[digital cliff]

I once got someone complete rando's pics in my google photos

that was a fun time for privacy and technology and all that

[analog sinew]

were they good

[vague marsh]

I would consider myself fairly tech-literate and this happened to me right after updating, with photos I definitely deleted from 2022. And it wasn’t some delayed sync situation with an older device, I only have a one iDevice(just a phone) and it’s a new phone I didn’t have in 2022.

While this is potentially scandalous as Apple claims that when you delete something, it’s gone forever(although they say it may take up to 40 days) my guess is they weren’t purposely doing this. It’s probably an iOS bug resurfacing an old iCloud bug from around the time the photos were deleted, which is unfortunate. Or perhaps an issue with iCloud backups merging. Or even an indexing error resurfacing. Regardless, they really need to make a public statement ASAP.

[digital cliff]

no it was just a load of selfies from some person ahah

sweet

[silver ridge]

Does anyone know if the yamaha ag03 mk2 offers good sound quality?
i have equipped my dt990 with aux input and microphone and would like to use sidetone with it but also have a good quality in general

[frozen ingot]

yamaha stuff rarely disappoints in that regard

[silver ridge]

it looks more qualitative than a behringer 302 usb 😄

I would only have to connect a headphone amp in series i guess

[frozen ingot]

haven't used their mixers but I've yet to have an issue with other yamy stuff I have or had

[silver ridge]

ill give it a try, i mean nothing sound worse than dts x, thought my headphones are broken lol

[astral haven]

you are trying to sidetone?

[silver ridge]

jup, sidetone with a stereo headset.
the yamaha ag03 has a mic mute and i can simply turn off sidetone if im not in a call which seems nice

[astral haven]

how about an interface?

[silver ridge]

i tried one with a rode vxlr+ adapter, pretty loud hiss with direct monitoring

[astral haven]

i use a mixer myself, but i can highly recommend not going that route

[silver ridge]

why :D?

[astral haven]

analog interfaces are designed for line level, very much noisy for headphones

and even if you add an amp, the noise level is still pretty high, speakers are a ton more forgiving

second, an interface is cheaper

[astral haven]

what interface?

[silver ridge]

i mean the adapter thing didnt worked for me, i dont know any interface which has a headset input but the rode streamer x which is pretty pricy

arturia minifuse 1

[astral haven]

wha
dt990?

[silver ridge]

yes

[astral haven]

and you only have 1 plug for both mic and headphones?

[silver ridge]

wait im gonna show you

[astral haven]

im gonna predict right now that you have a passive mic and the hiss is from the power input to the passive mic

[silver ridge]

im using the beyerdynamic headset gear with that

[astral haven]

and how are you getting that into your interface?

[silver ridge]

TRRS adapter to 2 single 3,5mm cables and the mic into a rode vxlr+ adapter

and headphone in headphone lol 😄

[astral haven]

does your computer not have a mic in? or a combo port?

[gusty kiln]

Damn you could just use an apple dongle

[silver ridge]

i have good sidetone with my onboard MB
but i wanna use it for work stuff too which doesnt have that optioon

[gusty kiln]

Also I don't remember the dt990 having a removable cable

[silver ridge]

Tried 😉

[silver ridge]

they dont, build it.

[gusty kiln]

Idk I always prefer a seperate mic

[astral haven]

this is technically a separate mic lol

[silver ridge]

had that, i cant with taht thing hanging there

[astral haven]

minimum amount of possible separation

[silver ridge]

ultimate headset hah

[astral haven]

nah

ultimate is lav

[gusty kiln]

Just plug the mic in separately then tape it to the 990s

[silver ridge]

looks dumb in videocalls xD

[silver ridge]

lav = lav mics?

[astral haven]

yea

audient evo 4 i think is the default recommendation

but i suspect your issue is caused by the vxlr+

[silver ridge]

me too

[astral haven]

swap the vxlr for a passive unit and you should be good

[silver ridge]

fosi audio k5 pro provides sidetone over windows, but the frequency is not natural

[astral haven]

but what is the issue with the apple dawngel

no sidetone?

[silver ridge]

idk i just cant get to hear myself

yy

power output from that thing is enough for workstuff, but yea no sidetone

[astral haven]

yea its a bit of extra cash just for sidetone but id go evo4 interface rather than a mixer unless you also want to not have to switch things between pc and work

but you already need to switch usb, so a usb interface shouldnt be a problem

[silver ridge]

i dont use both systems at the same time, what do you mean by passive unit?

[astral haven]

vxlr+ says it does something with phantom power, get one that doesnt

or just use a 3.5 to 1/4 adapter

[silver ridge]

maybe ill try that out, hoped the yamaha mixer is my perfect solution 😄

[astral haven]

again recc avoid mixer, use interface

the evo4 is something like $50 cheaper too and its got a solid hp jack and excellent adcs

[silver ridge]

just have to hope it will work with a passive unit

[gusty kiln]

Too bad topping doesn't sell the e2x2 anymore

[silver ridge]

wasnt that very new ?

with great headphone amp

[gusty kiln]

Idk seems like they just did it as a proof of concept

And barely produced any

[astral haven]

real expensive tho, how much better is it than the audient?

[gusty kiln]

It was 159 msrp

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805714679624.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

Oh wait aliexpress has it

But not Amazon or any us retailer

[silver ridge]

goxlr mini would be great for me, it has 3,5mm mic input.
But its deeead

[astral haven]

1/4 to 3.5 is pretty much free

[silver ridge]

and low headphone power, but whatever i go a cheap amp which can drive my dt990 easy

[silver ridge]

i just read those condensator mics like mine need like 3-5V

and the vxlr thing converts 48V into that needed 3-5V

[astral haven]

are you sure you have a condenser?

[silver ridge]

amazon says yes 😄

[astral haven]

and it works with the apple dong?

[silver ridge]

it is

[astral haven]

it works with the apple dong and it works with the mic input on your pc
its probably not actually a condenser

[silver ridge]

i can use "listen to this device" and its pretty good quality, but delay.

with my MB i can go into headphone properties and monitor my mic there without 0 delay, apple have that too but im not hearing anything

i can just try that adapter why not, doenst hurt my wallet 😄

[ashen spindle]

https://blurbusters.com/displayweek-2024-news-4k-1000hz-monitor-exhibited-and-new-blur-busters-display-tester/

Shame barely any games can take advantage of 500hz right now.

But Microsoft words at 1000hz

[astral haven]

rhythm games, shooters

[distant tapir]

Exciting days.

[distant tapir]

Frame generation and strobing/BFI is where it's at.

[astral haven]

i hope for monitors with 240hz input with frat to 1khz

[honest gull]

Hello people :) how’s everyone’s day so far

[lyric hatch]

Just woke up 🥱

[honest gull]

I woke up not too long ago as well

Didn’t get much sleep tho so had to make myself some coffee

[atomic hornet]

Also at 1khz you probably will care less about things like adaptive sync, just go burr at full refresh rate.

[halcyon moss]

Even at 144hz I don't really care about vrr

[smoky frigate]

I didn't use to, but fell absolutely in love with it

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah I can't live without it now

[smoky frigate]

to me it's now like "why did we ever do it any other way"

low lag, no tearing, better motion

[fair gull]

das fairly easy for the tech they use

the worst part is making the 3d model

[lyric hatch]

Pretty neat

I dig the little features like that

[steep creek]

saame

think shadows also appear underneath apps in vision pro

[honest gull]

too bad its 3,500$

[zenith silo]

Ngl this is dumb asf

Over engineered iPad pen😭

[astral haven]

its super cool, the problem with apple is super obvious simple stuff that is intentionally busted

[chrome spruce]

Does anyone know how to save changes in the wootility?

I changed the buttons here and but they don't seem to work..

I think i have to save it?

[lyric hatch]

The save to keyboard button in the top right

[chrome spruce]

There's only this

[crimson wigeon]

Then you have to drag the edited profile to a keyboard profile slot on the left side

[chrome spruce]

Ah

Thank you so much!

[reef patrol]

[deft token]

Are the fn layers all synced / the same across all of the 4 profiles on the board?
Are you able to have a different fn layout for 1 profile vs the other?

Oh nice can't wait to see linamp

[frozen ingot]

which build tho

is it the og winamp everyone remembers fondly or the icky bloated winamp 4 or 5 or whatever version they were on last I used it ca 2006

[fair gull]

ngl i liked winamp 5

also 4 never existed

also pretty sure 3 and 5 are the same code

idk about the new version since the aquisition by that new owner though

although i also long switched away from winamp

[final flame]

I just know one UI designer just thought of that on the fly and told everybody about the idea

[umbral heron]

Oooooo, I'm gonna strangle our Microsoft guy
He changed auth expiration for Teams and Outlook from 90 days to 24h

[halcyon moss]

ooh that is frikking annoying

im already annoyed by the 1 week we have

[umbral heron]

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had 2FA. We had password changes every 90 days. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego!

And done! I like those 1-hour work days

[lyric hatch]

I do love having to come up with a new 16 character password

[umbral heron]

Our passwords must be between 13 and 16 characters exactly

[lyric hatch]

that seems counterintuitive

[umbral heron]

I just think of two random words and sprinkle it with 1!2@3#4$... until it's 16 char long

[lyric hatch]

they recently got rid of remote desktop manager at my work

very sad day

[umbral heron]

We used to have this guy, he was manager of everything Windows-related
He used to hate Linux at least 10x more than I dislike Windows and anything that Apple threw up combined, and every time we went to ask him to do/fix something, he'd always rant about how everyone should just move themselves and their servers to Windows

Anyway, he moved to capital and is working for Microsoft now

[lyric hatch]

well guess it worked out for him

[steep nebula]

@reef patrol looking at the he2 and the 60he is there any difference between speeds i just saw something about focus mode

just was looking at something that gives the best speed for games but also great for productive things

[umbral heron]

Latency goes more or less like so:
2HE: 3.4ms
2HE+Tachyon: 1.9ms
2HE+Tachyon+Focus: 1.2ms on a selected group of keys, ~4ms on the rest of the keys

60HE: 2.1ms
60HE+Tachyon: 1.3ms
And keep in mind that 2HE without Tachyon or Focus has still less latency than quite a lot gaming keyboards out there

[steep nebula]

thats an awesome chart appreciate it im new to the tachyon+focus mode how does that work?

[umbral heron]

Tachyon reduces latency by turning off some of the features, like RGB effects for example, and making MCU scan keys more frequently
Focus mode (on top of the Tachyon mode) also does so, but it prioritizes a group of keys, so MCU will scan this part of the keyboard even more frequently

[analog sinew]

at the cost of the rest

[umbral heron]

In the end it's about which layout you like, if you like full-size keyboards get a 2HE, if you want something small and compact get a 60HE, if you like TKL layout get an 80HE

[steep nebula]

i wish 80he was out rn i would have bought that in a heart beat but i need a keyboard since mine is hanging on

[zenith silo]

60he>>>>

[steep nebula]

yeah im thinking if its big brain to get a 60HE and get a numpad with the extra buttons

[zenith silo]

I haven't even needed a numpad but would like an external one

Wooting needs to make one so I can use wootility on my numpad

[steep nebula]

yeah was gonna ask the samething XD

[halcyon moss]

do you also get an f pad?

its almost a usuable layout then

[zenith silo]

60he is perfectly usable

[steep nebula]

is there numpad that come with f pad?????

[zenith silo]

Probably, but it would look dumb

[analog sinew]

60% + 40% lol

[steep nebula]

gonna get one of these LMAO

[zenith silo]

Nah that's cursed asf

[halcyon moss]

is there also an arrow pad? :p

[umbral heron]

I wan!

[lyric hatch]

TKL fans rn

[old marlin]

accurate

[frozen ingot]

but muh missing 4 keys

literally unusable

[old marlin]

Looks ugly

[umbral heron]

65 and 75 look ugly

[frozen ingot]

imo in the end its a tool, not a furniture piece

[steep nebula]

for tachyon mode can i make it choose which key to focus on?

[reef patrol]

It's board wide.

[steep nebula]

sorry i meant with focus mode for the full he

[reef patrol]

You -have- to in fact.

[frozen ingot]

not specific keys, just areas of the keyboard

[reef patrol]

Yeah it's divided into specific sections.

[steep nebula]

I've been super bland with the question sorry was talking about each individual one instead of just sections

[ashen spindle]

Has to be the sections because it’s based on how the layout is on the PCB

[reef patrol]

I believe it's tied to the individual multiplexers?

[ashen spindle]

Vita sized

Looks almost the same as the og vita

Little thicker and heavier, but it's just about the same size

[fierce terrace]

what is the purpose of this thing?

[vagrant pagoda]

Gaming, emulation, streaming, media, etc?

First non-phone pocketable 8gen2 as well

[fierce terrace]

so its for playing mobile games?

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean 8gen2 can play fallout NV

Emulation is crazy these days

[lyric hatch]

could be a neat streaming device with the wifi 7 support

although you'd need a router upgrade

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean most games don't need WiFi7 speeds

[lyric hatch]

yeah but one of the benefits of wifi 7 is latency

and for streaming games from your pc to the device

that's huge

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean 6e to 7 is 5-10ms improvement

Not groundbreaking

Encode and decode are more than half of the total latency

Most hardware decoders are 1-2 frame

[lyric hatch]

if wifi 7 is fast enough couldn't you just send uncompressed

[vagrant pagoda]

With CPU encoding you can get single frame

[vagrant pagoda]

No where near enough

1080p60 is 3Gbit/s

Achieving that with a handheld is going to be extremely hard even for wifi7

[lyric hatch]

isn't the theoretical max of wifi 7 46Gbps

i don't expect to hit anywhere near those speeds but getting 10% seems feasable

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah and 10gbit on 6e

And getting 1.5 is extremely hard, basically next to the router with no obstructions

[vagrant pagoda]

10% max is generally really good for wifi lol

And that's only for 1080p60

[lyric hatch]

idk, I mean if the marketing is to be believed I could see a big jump in performance

[vagrant pagoda]

You could do 1080p144 and have about the same latency

[vagrant pagoda]

Fam if you believe in marketing this was a pointless discussion

[warped warren]

guys i have a problem

my keyboard changed his keys. and there are no questionmarks and stuff [i had a german keyboard layout] does anyone know how to change that back

[crimson wigeon]

That depends on what keyboard layout your OS is set to, make sure it's set to what you want..

[warped warren]

where do i look up for it

[crimson wigeon]

Depends, on modern Windows it would be settings -> time & language -> language & region, there you see what language you have. Make sure you only have the languages you wish to see. Click on the 3 dots next to a language then options to see what keyboard layouts you have for that language

[warped warren]

oh i see

idk know how it changed my whole pc language

[crimson wigeon]

That languages thing does indeed change what language you want to see and type

[astral haven]

did you see/hear about jim kellers new project?

Absolute fkn legend
https://atomicsemi.com/about/

[ashen spindle]

Yeah he talked about it in his latest interview

[steep creek]

such a legendary team description lmao

[fair gull]

gg my pc just reset without a bsod

[astral haven]

yep, its incredible
wont have to do this https://store.efabless.com/products/tiny-tapeout-project
any more

[ashen spindle]

the idea is great, the question is just how well does it work and for that we just need to wait and see

[rough osprey]

it had enough

or it forgot

[ashen spindle]

could be like 3d printing a prototype or a waste of time because simulation tools work well enough and you need to adjust a lot for mass production if done the singular chip way, clearly they think it will be more like the former but time will tell

[fair gull]

apparently there was a bsod but due to it being from the display driver itself i couldnt see it.... time to test ram later

[astral haven]

they are using e-beam, so you very well could make final products, and as far as i can tell, while the throughput would be less, it would be a faster cycle time than going through the standard fab process

[ashen spindle]

final product yes but could you just take the design as you make it and there without any/much change make it a tsmc product to make 200k of a day

since if it works you wouldnt want to mass product your product this way

[astral haven]

well who knows, you could set up a bunch of these microfabs to turn around chips quicker, and using microfabbing could make using smaller (sub 10mm2) chips more relevant

[fair gull]

gaming headset recommendations preferably with a detachable cable

[astral haven]

how insistent on integrated unit?

[fair gull]

what unit

[astral haven]

headphones + mic vs headset

[fair gull]

its required

[astral haven]

how much you intend to spend

[fair gull]

no limit

although keep in mind the cables will last like 6months - 1year

my gf somehow breaks them very very easily

[astral haven]

not budget, how much you want to spend

[fair gull]

doesnt matter

should just work without hastle

she has an astro a50 rn and while it worked great it now has some issues with its dumb game/voice sound paddle garbage

velour pads would be a bonus

the hyperx cloud alpha pro for example is one i looked at which seems nice and simple plus has a detachable cable

[astral haven]

if you want velour thats harder, how good does the mic have to be?

and can it be open back

cause if you want the optimal solution its something like
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DF7ZMBC/ + whatever

as a sennheiser fan i would do https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z2MPW61 + hd560s + boompro, but there are plenty of native 3.5mm options

[fair gull]

no open back needs to be closed back and mic quality doesnt matter much

its just gaming

given the current cable wear option 1 is 100% out

[gusty kiln]

imagine thinking people wanting synapse to use more system resources

[woven laurel]

who the heck gives a damn about speed.

what about user friendlyness

a nice ui

[old marlin]

idk synapse is fine in that regard

just a resource hog

[gusty kiln]

ui is not bad but synapse always have 3-4 extra processes running along side it

[wheat plume]

We will take care of the rest

I hate this shit on Windows
It's just "we will" and all that xd

Microsoft please make a good OS

[frozen ingot]

I don't like how they formulated that sentence, os sucks

[reef patrol]

Your files will be exactly where you left them

👀

[wheat plume]

Yeh I don't trust that one

The fact they feel the need to have that message is not boosting my confidence either

[steep creek]

yea tbh i think synapse is fine, not as bad as i thought it would be

[gusty kiln]

OBMM is still the best (for a large brand company)

[steep creek]

obmm is neat, just works

[gusty kiln]

I still keep ghub installed though, for important updates

[wheat plume]

Obmm?

[steep creek]

yep same

[umbral heron]

I want it so badly

😍

I love tablet form factor so much

[gusty kiln]

I still want a steam deck 2 over that

[wheat plume]

There is no deck 2

[gusty kiln]

as a on the go pc

[wheat plume]

Got to wait maybe 2 more years

[gusty kiln]

waiting 😬

[steep creek]

if it were between minisforum or any ms surface i'd pick minisforum probably

[vagrant pagoda]

Tablet isn't competing with deck though

[wheat plume]

Surface is too overpriced
And doesn't come with keyboard

It's 260 for the keyboard

[gusty kiln]

it is for me as the device consideration

[umbral heron]

No.

[wheat plume]

But it comes with the keyboard

[umbral heron]

Also no "without OS" option

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean it comes with keyboard and 16gb standard

Surface pro 9 is 750 with 8gb and no kb

[wheat plume]

Ikr 😢

[vagrant pagoda]

Also the KB+Pen from MS is 250

So pro 9 8gb+256 is the same price as V3 16gb+1tb

[wheat plume]

And pen??
Nah
Just keyboard for that price last I saw

[vagrant pagoda]

It's 250 for the combo from ms

My bad 280

Close enough

[wheat plume]

Oh...

[vagrant pagoda]

750+280 vs 970 is close, but v3 having twice the ram and 8 times the storage

8/128 on a "pro" device in 2024 is Apple

[wheat plume]

And Microsoft

.-.

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeaj

DP input is amazing

[wheat plume]

Ikr

That's so useful

[vagrant pagoda]

Every tablet should have it

Yep

No
No they are not
Nothing about Windows is a good thing

Holy fuck this is loud

The installer plays music like some cracked game installer wtf

[pale sigil]

Arc browser is still bleh on windows

I really want to use it but I get frustrated

[wheat plume]

Ok I need an account to use it
No thanks

If you want a closed back maybe look for a used cheap Beyerdynamic custom game oder custom one and buy new velourpads, mic option is the beyerdynamic custom headset gear. That’s not available anymore but beyerdynamic has some retailer which does have that mics

Did they remove the tabs from Notepad???

[reef patrol]

...tabs?

[wheat plume]

Yeh

Notepad and File Explorer got tabs on windows 11

[pale sigil]

They were working for me

[reef patrol]

Ew

[wheat plume]

But my notepad doesn't have them now

Oh wait
Maybe there is an update for it on the store

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

There is many store app updates
Holy fuck

[reef patrol]

What tf would you need tabs for in NOTEPAD. Get a proper text editor, if you need an app

[wheat plume]

They are nice to have

And finally let's notepad catch up to every text editor on Linux

Cause they all have tabs

[pale sigil]

It's so nice NGL

[reef patrol]

I just don't get it. But I did admittedly literally uninstall notepad and replace it with notepad++ years ago

[pale sigil]

Notepad++ is ehhhhh to me

I install it but I never really use it

[reef patrol]

So much faster than notepad, and with formatting

[woven laurel]

and compare

[crimson wigeon]

And tabs

The latest not planned Windows update might have done something to my RGB on the fans? Could enable ErP in BIOS though, i've enabled that everything should turn off when the PC is in sleep mode

The fans don't turn off when in sleep

[wheat plume]

Windows added it's own RGB control software in system settings

So it might be trying to force itself onto your system and overriding whatever you currently use

[sharp badger]

Oh?

Is it this?

[ashen spindle]

yeah so you dont need 5 dozen different shitty sorts of software for each different led

[sharp badger]

😠

Going to uninstall apps and see if that works

[wheat plume]

Correct

Idk how well it works

[fair gull]

thanks for the suggestion though

[sharp badger]

Woo! got it to work 🙂

[wheat plume]

Ayoooo

[sharp badger]

Now i just need to adjust Fan Control settings

[wheat plume]

The windows software or the specific one for your stuff??

[sharp badger]

Just changed to OpenRGB, don't have any devices compatible with the Dynamic Lightning in Windows

[fierce terrace]

which ones? hyperx cloud II? thats a based choice

[fair gull]

alpha pro

[sharp badger]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/dynamic-lighting-devices It would probably be nice once devices are supported

[fair gull]

theres tons of devices already supported

recently noticed my logi g203 is as well which caused the rgb to sometimes be on and sometimes off

[sharp badger]

Only device with RGB is my 60HE the G502 X Lightspeed don't have any RGB settings

[fair gull]

we also want to probably support it

[sharp badger]

Also did not like Armoury Crate

[fair gull]

good its bloat anyway

[sharp badger]

The Xiaomi Cooking robot is soooo cool

[fair gull]

ok mrwhostheboss

[wheat plume]

Yeh xd

[fair gull]

its a cooking robot like any other ive seen

[wheat plume]

I haven't seen one before

But it's tempting cause I can't cook

[fair gull]

the only real difference imo is where the bowl is located compared to the control panel/screen

[fair gull]

dont just learn to cook stuff

way cheaper

[sharp badger]

Was thinking of getting the new ROG Ally X but with that Armoury Crate, maan that software needs to be fixed and not be so damn slow and bad

[wheat plume]

I also hate cooking cause the clean up and the fact I need to stand there watching it the whole time
And then clean all the shit

[fair gull]

you still need to clean shit with the robot

not to mention they usually make small to medium sized portions of 1 dish

then you need to clean

some dishes where sauces and meats etc are separate you need to clean inbetween cooking the steps

[wheat plume]

Yeah

[fair gull]

also cleaning non stick pans takes less time than the plastic/wooden implements you used to cook with

[sharp badger]

Cooking robot? skeptical about that

Im wanting to do some DIY experimenting with a microcontroller and hall effect sensor, is the part number for the hall effect sensor wooting uses listed somewhere or do i have to check my pcb?🤷‍♂️

[woven laurel]

[proud herald]

Nice project but uses mechanical keys, no? im spesifically looking for analog input but there are sooo many options when it comes to hall effect sensors, just wondering what wooting uses for theirs, i mean, why invent the wheel all over when wooting has already nailed it?👌

[analog sinew]

they said it somewhere

tony did iirc

[frozen ingot]

afaik all modern hall effect boards are essentially the same design hardware-wise

[gusty kiln]

which one have the least stem wobble?

[proud herald]

guess ill just get one of each and play around🤷‍♂️

[analog sinew]

i told you that it was posted...

Sorry, sorry. im blind, well. -5 on both eyes

there

[fair gull]

nay i did not

what i did post was our recommendation for jellybean components

[analog sinew]

oh

[fair gull]

the sensors we use arent easily obtained for hobby projects in any reasonable quantity

also not the sensor that needs to be nailed anyway... the firmware is the important bit

[proud herald]

I see, well either way this works for me. ive been playing around with LDR and sonar distance sensors to make custom synths/noisemaking machines so i thought id give hall effects a go too^^

[north sentinel]

is it normal that if you get a new provider that games lag hardcore the first few days despite good down/uploads

[final flame]

down/up performance is irrelevant towards being able to play a game
latency is what matters

[north sentinel]

yeah...

[lyric hatch]

that's usually not a good sign, means whatever ISP you changed to has not so good routes to whatever game servers you're trying to connect to

I ended up changing my ISP due to a similar issue

[north sentinel]

not possible here yet

cause new appartment building compound

fiber only one provider

[halcyon moss]

Contact gameserver or provider

[north sentinel]

[halcyon moss]

Also check your ping to other services

[north sentinel]

They did send me a phone message though

that first few days were "pilot" phase

ill boot up game and try again

[north sentinel]

its better

but there are stutters again

id say its 80% better than yesterday

but not entirely "fine"

ill wait 3-4 more days hoping it'll fix itself

[steep creek]

yea last software update for shield afaik was in 2022

[wheat plume]

Smart Tv bad ;-; constantly unable to open apps cause they need updates and wont let you open them until the update happens

[reef patrol]

I... I just want to stop the HBO Max adverts for random shows. I don't even have the damn app installed.

[wheat plume]

o.o

can you change the DNS just for the TV on your router settings, maybe?

[marsh glade]

Kodi + Seren + trakt + real-debrid = all content from all time, at bottom dollar

[wheat plume]

idk wtf any of these are except Kodi

[reef patrol]

Didn't do squat.

Guess I need to find a more strict DNS 😄

[wheat plume]

o..

[ashen spindle]

Router dns isn’t relevant if it checks a dns known to the tv first

[wheat plume]

Ah..

[reef patrol]

Ehh... TVs like any device would be set to grab DNS from further down the line by default.

Otherwise you're in "this app specifically uses this DNS" which is "gotta root the shit out of the device" territory

[ashen spindle]

Shouldn’t it be the opposite? You use your dns first if that doesn’t resolve you use something down the line?

Or a routers default isp dns would overwrite whatever you enter in windows

[reef patrol]

The router grabs a DNS from the ISP (Unless you specify otherwise if able), devices connected to the router grabs the DNS it tells them to use, unless otherwise specified on device.

[ashen spindle]

Yeah so if smart tv maker wants to make sure you get ads they set their own dns and not let you change it on the router surely?

[reef patrol]

Correct.

It's mostly a question of whether or not the TV plays nice with the settings you give it, and whether or not "ads" obey your network settings or bypass them (meaning you'll need a firewall to block them on the router)

Enter the PiHole.

[ashen spindle]

ahh got the newest chrome update that removed the flag that was used to disable the new tab button int he top left

but you can still disable it via command thankfully

this button because im soo used to my start page being there I'm always clicking that instead of the tab if I dont disable it lol

[final flame]

I really hate the new chrome refresh, I feel like they unecessarily made the colors in the ui inconsistent

it's just jarring

[ashen spindle]

cant say anything to that, have dark theme but the menu is still white so probably something broken on my install

]

[final flame]

and the new refresh also changed the dark theme to be a neutral grey instead of what they have before which is a blue tinted grey

this is before

worst thing is, this is what they use everywhere

[ashen spindle]

still the same for me unless I dont have that part of the new version yet

[final flame]

I like how dark firefox is

[atomic hornet]

What I like most in firefox ui wise is that it still allows us to use the menu bar on the title bar and stuff that full with things like bookmarks and addons

Only wish I could hide the hamburger menu that way as I should not need it, but that can only be done in a local stylesheet to overwrite.

[wheat plume]

I also love that it can be changed with CSS <3 <3

The Firefox-Gnome project is AMAZING

even replicates the behaviour of most gnome apps where the tab bar goes away when only one tab is open

Apple doesn’t support flac

🤦‍♀️

apple doesn't support flac because they made alac
why would you use flac when you could use alac? we have:

• a closed standard
• no interoperability outside of the apple ecosystem
• still lossless though

[empty wren]

Okay but iPhones users know apple knows best for them

[ashen spindle]

by closed standard do you mean the applle lossless audio thing thats open and on github?

the open source, royalty free one?

[wheat plume]

closed standard, its only used in Apple Music

[ashen spindle]

so if an open source thing is not used by others it becomes closed?

[rough patrol]

what will i do with my 38 gigs worth of flacs now

[ashen spindle]

As of 2015, Windows 10 includes support for ALAC encoding and decoding, thereby enabling other media players to use it, e.g. Windows Media Player when ripping CDs or the Spotify desktop client for playback of local .m4a files

not sure how that is still considered closed?

[wheat plume]

Apple dont even let Spotify use it on iOS

[ashen spindle]

are you sure its not just spotify not offering it

again, its an open sourced royalty free codec, how would they even block that

https://github.com/macosforge/alac

[steep creek]

wouldn't be surprised if its spotify not offering it, theyre not on good terms with apple

[ashen spindle]

afaik they dont even offer losless elsewhere and it seems there are leaks about a losless offer coming this year?

so seems its all on their end not apples

[steep creek]

yea it was dubbed music pro or something like that, also rumored to cost extra

[ashen spindle]

so yes apple could support flac but also, what exactly is the big issue here?

[empty wren]

why

[atomic hornet]

Nothing wrong with ALAC, tiny bit worse in terms of compression than flac but the main reason Apple uses it is for ecosystem reasons.

[mild dome]

Isn't alac and flac practically the same?

[ashen spindle]

flac is also a container

but for sound quality in the end wont notice a difference

[atomic hornet]

For most uses the two are similar, alac uses a different metadata tagging system and is just a different codec. Also optionally supports drm but in terms of sound and file size, functionally the same.

[mild dome]

Googling why Apple made its own format, it's speculated that it was a requirement from the music industry that apple avoid any open formats on itunes. This requirement was dropped and Apple opened the format for all.

I suppose most companies though have no desire to use alac whilst flac does everything and more

[atomic hornet]

It using the Itunes tagging format, and optionally supporting drm was probably the reason.
IOS and mac support flac too nowadays.

[steep creek]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8oN2CjJeoE

[vagrant pagoda]

Flac still sucks for streaming, as most music players suck at buffering it

Been using flac on Android since Android was a thing, to this day I haven't found a good solution for streaming it.

I remember when alac was new and iPods would only do 16/48

I wouldn't call that 'only'. 99,999999% of people wouldn't be able to ABX any higher without turning up the volume by 500 procent during silent passaged etc which ultimately isn't relevant to actual listening anyway.

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah but it would let you put anything on it

So apple was faking 16/96

[true notch]

Will be a Two HE V2 in the future ?

[analog sinew]

not currently planned

[true notch]

Well I wanted to buy a Two HE but then I saw that the 80HE have a better polling rate. So I will wait a bit more because I want a full size keyboard.

[ashen spindle]

dont let that be the reason you end up waiting, it's "better" but not even pros will really notice a difference

[true notch]

Not only that but design is a bit different, sound and everything

[ashen spindle]

well for now there are no known plans to remake the 60 or 2he with a new pcb to support 8khz and sound would probably be still the same

[analog sinew]

yeah you might wait years for this

One question : I just bought a 60he. It says that its coming in 3-12 days and i was wondering when you guys got your keyboard . Should i expect it within 5 days instead of 12 ? Is it coming earlier than 12 days ?

[balmy vector]

Just trust itll be within 3-12 days, can be earlier can be later in that timeline

[ashen spindle]

depends on the place you are, how fast packages get to you locally etc.

[strong ether]

Ok

[strong ether]

100 % not after 12 days ?

its an estimate

ARM is major ew
Not for any logical reasons, but because I'm part of the hatedom

[steep creek]

yea but it looks like it'll have x86 as well

[ashen spindle]

Nadella has some Fetisch for arm so they will push WoA for a while and then it will have the usual Qualcomm prices, issues and all and just not be as great of an experience

[steep creek]

yea and also kinda funny he’s willing to release surface with arm chips in the state woa currently is, not that many apps either

like won’t it give a bad reputation

[pale sigil]

Didn't they say recently they had a major push for support with the most used apps.

[ashen spindle]

well yeah they announced the SDXE almost a year ago now and its coming out so they had to put some markething things out

[pale sigil]

Honestly, I'm excited for the future personally.

[ashen spindle]

it will definitely have improved but just take how intel gpus launched, you think WoA will do better when it has new cpu and gpu at once essentially?

[pale sigil]

Of arm

[ashen spindle]

not to mention it doesnt seem cheap so you dont really get anything

I mean I dont see much changing for the future, we might get more arm based chips from intel and amd too but for the consumer that doesnt change a thing

[fickle ore]

@ashen spindle getting 4k 480hz OLED?

[steep creek]

for consumers yea as long as it runs the stuff they need doesn’t matter

i’m kinda excited to see side by side comparisons

[ashen spindle]

No I want ultrawide so earlier I upgrade is like next year or whenever it was those come out

[fickle ore]

wasnt it UW? Oo

[ashen spindle]

You gotta be more specific which one lol

[fickle ore]

ah yeah maybe not

[steep creek]

i’ve always used just one monitor so maybe i will like ultrawide more than dual monitors

a little interested in them, will see when those oleds come out

[fickle ore]

https://www.lg.com/fi/naytot/lg-34gs95qe-b

tahts just 240 hz 21:9

the 480/240 are 16:9 I think,

[steep creek]

hm this looks nice

going to see if i can test one in person sometime, see how text looks on it and such

[fickle ore]

text looks good it has new subpix layout

[steep creek]

neat

thanks for sharing

[ashen spindle]

this is one I might look at when its in 2026 then on woled side

[steep creek]

ah that is nice, im still very happy with my monitor so ill prob have no issue waiting until those come out

[ashen spindle]

think there was one on the qdoled timeline too but cant find it

[steep creek]

no worries

[ashen spindle]

no im more confused myself now because I cant find what the other UW was I remember

[steep creek]

aha lol

was it this one? https://www.guru3d.com/data/publish/214/b9a6c3bb3245cce1a5d83e0db6393393cee2ad/tft-central-oled-monitor-roadmap-2024-1536x864.jpg

[ashen spindle]

yeah might have been that one thought q2 24 seems early

[steep creek]

hm yea true

[ashen spindle]

ahh I tink it was just because he made a follow up that had all oleds so it showed the lg panels again

either way it looks like doing some more time on mine, replacing it for 3 year burn in warranty if needed and then waiting for new panels seems like a good play xD

also rtx 60/rdna5 would need to be good enough to make use of that lmao

[steep creek]

lol i just last year got a 4070ti, dont think thats powerful enough to run these at full aha

3 year warranty on yours is pretty nice

[ashen spindle]

its the only reason I jumped on it that early, its the first alienware qdoled that came to market

[steep creek]

i see

[ashen spindle]

but man my 4090 struggled in alan wake 2 at good quality to stay above 100fps lol

[steep creek]

lmao were you running it at high resolution too?

[ashen spindle]

just native

Never asked to send back the old so my sister took them and she never had issues, obviously that means they are cheap to make but still nicem

sounds like a NA problem

... also maybe mine a bit less bitcoin

[warped gull]

Hope those new monitors come with DP 2.1, ain't messing with it otherwise. Not a fan of Gigabyte but their AORUS FO32U2P is the only 4k/240hz I'd consider.

[ashen spindle]

would be nice but dont think 2.1 is needed?

[gusty kiln]

also most nvidia gpu don't have 2.1

[lyric hatch]

I do love 1.2m cables

[warped gull]

It's going to be the future for bandwidth. That's why the dual 4k Neo G9 uses it

[ashen spindle]

what does that even mean

[warped gull]

And it's inevitable the GPUs will go the same way

[ashen spindle]

4k240 doesnt need dp 2.1

[ashen spindle]

I know the table but what is it you are trying to say

[warped gull]

Bandwidth is key when youre trying to push more data as GPUs get better. Im trying to say DP2.1 is more future proof

[ashen spindle]

what do you need to future proof in a monitor

[gusty kiln]

but you said monitor'

[warped gull]

Neo G9 is dual 4K, which necessitates the higher bandwidth and why it utilizes DP2.1 rather than 2x DP1.4 / or HDMI 2.1

[ashen spindle]

ok, simpler, what monitor are we talking about

is it one that can reach the resolution with dp1.4 and dsc or not

thats all that matters

[distant tapir]

Yes.

[gusty kiln]

your first comment only specified 4k240 which doesn't need 2.1

[distant tapir]

DSC is a 3:1 compression ratio. So you get a lot of extra.

[lyric hatch]

https://youtu.be/-lfL8JRBXHk

[ashen spindle]

dsc isnt a forced 3 slices

https://www.synopsys.com/designware-ip/technical-bulletin/overcoming-design-challengse-vesa-dsc-ip-2019q3.html

2 slice DSC is basically not noticeable

tim in the video literally says he cant tell a difference

[warped gull]

. @18:45 is the important takeaway

[ashen spindle]

thats about for monitors that cant run the max refresh rate over 1.4

like yeah no shit

but for a 4k240hz screen, which is in the range dp1.4 can do, why would not having 2.1 be a reason to exclude it?

on a gpu sure you can make the argument but on a monitor it isnt future proofing anything

[warped gull]

Because you dont know how games will be programmed in the future, they could go the route of foregoing DSC and just running native 4k@240hz requiring more bandwidth.

[ashen spindle]

yeah because games dont know shit about the cable they get shown over lol

games dont decide to use dsc or not

[warped gull]

Lol ok. Suit yourself with a monitor that will have a shorter shelf life.

[ashen spindle]

????

a gpu renders the frame, if its done it gets pushed to the monitor

in that step compression is applied if DSC is used

the driver handles that not the game

[lyric hatch]

also the actual takeaway from what Tim said is here https://youtu.be/-lfL8JRBXHk?t=1106

[warped gull]

Do you want your monitor unable to take advantage of that because you didn't have DP2.1? Simple as that

[ashen spindle]

no thats not how that works at all

[warped gull]

Haha ok.

[lyric hatch]

yeah better graphics doesn't equal more data being streamed

[ashen spindle]

you need more bandwith if you have higher resolution or refresh rate

the thing thats get pushed to a 4k screen is always a picture of 3840 × 2160 pixels

and these pixels are always the same depth of 8 or 10 bit

it is litearlly impossible to change how much data you want to push through

please explain why you think better graphics would need more bandwith on the same monitor

[gusty kiln]

what is this computer head canon LMAO

[ashen spindle]

like if you got anything to link to that you think explains that im willing to listen to it

but I can tell you if game devs would have any control over that we would have so many issues already lmao

[fast mesa]

Is there a way to emulate mouse hid movement using wooting 60he?

Pretty sure you can do that stuff with qmk

[gusty kiln]

you can do mouse buttons in the special character tab but not movement

[empty wren]

200 more to go before I swap feet

[severe phoenix]

Shit, 8bitdo makes keyboards now, and it looks kinda sweet for only 70$.

https://electronics.woot.com/offers/8bitdo-8bitdo-retro-mechanical-keyboard-blueto-1

[umbral heron]

Did so for a while
They're now making licensed Xbox controllers with HE sticks

[severe phoenix]

Yeah about 6 months or so 8bitdo has

Pretty neat, those big buttons too

Those would be like a cool start and stop streaming button lol

Slam it with your fist

[analog sinew]

if those keycaps are mx stem they are kinda neat to harvest

[umbral heron]

Hmm... Raw zinc and C64 keycaps...

[steep nebula]

What’s the difference between the jades and the news v2 switches?

[reef patrol]

Hard to say until they're out.

[steep nebula]

@reef patrol what do you think i should go with for hardcore gaming and being able to be productive aswell with work and school? 😛

[reef patrol]

I only have a couple of loose jades, and they sound similar to the V2 Lekker switches I have on my board.
So... from an "ignorant customer support staff member, who doesn't work in product development", I'd grab the Lekkers, to get the full 4mm movement for analog games.

[steep nebula]

now the real question what keyboard would you recommend for gaming and work but the best possible performance i can chase 🙂

[reef patrol]

Depends on your needs I suppose. I've had the 2HE, the 60HE and now the 80HE. I have had no issues doing daily work on the 60HE in spite the missing keys, because I've grown used to using the FN layers.

The main difference is how many keys you have.

[steep nebula]

is the FN layers the one that change it to you can use f1 and all that stuff

and can you customize the FN layers to make any key page up etc?

[reef patrol]

Yep

[steep nebula]

@reef patrol how does the 80He feel compared to the 60he in terms of performance and overall is there a big difference in gaming that i should wait for it or nothing really?

[reef patrol]

The main difference is having more keys (F key row and arrow keys, plus a few more), gasket mounting (which means it's a softer, quiter click with less ressonance from the case when you tap keys), and of course the 8khz polling and scanning - which is not something I can comment on whether is a must have for you.

I'm a casual strategy player. I don't tap keys anywhere near fast enough for it to matter 😄

[steep nebula]

haha yeah I'm just trying to get a one and one keyboard that has everything i need and not missing out on much ill prob look into it more if i were to order a 80HE when would the 2nd batch come to NA? Late august or early like the other ones?

[reef patrol]

Batch 2, which is what we're selling for now is September.

[steep nebula]

haha yikes looks like its going to be a 60HE

[steep nebula]

after trying the 80HE would u ever go back to using the 60HE?

[glass timber]

How do I link my account in Decord?

[reef patrol]

If I had a choice I wouldn't - Because I like having direct access to the F row keys and arrow keys for some older games that rely on it.

But if my 80HE died, I wouldn't mind going back to the 60HE at all.

[analog sinew]

wooting hub

[glass timber]

How do I activate my account? I cannot purchase or create an account

[analog sinew]

you create one with the order email

[fierce snow]

does anyone know what its called when the letters on your keycaps are see through so the light from ur keybooard can come out, but the rest of ur keycaps isnt? do those keycaps have a specific name?

[reef patrol]

Those are two different questions.

How do you purchase something? You go through checkout.

How do you activate an account? (after purchasing) You create an account on our hub (see the claim role video above)

[reef patrol]

Backlit keycaps.

[fierce snow]

thank you

Firefox supremacy https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-77725

In other news I got around 30 mails about Jira not working

[atomic hornet]

Jira is generally pretty painful to work with regardless of browser.

[ashen spindle]

https://www.igorslab.de/en/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-founders-edition-24gb-review-drink-less-work-more/11/

if you look at the power spikes even for a normal card you can see even then 850w is more than enough to cover everything else if you have a hungry cpu

[smoky frigate]

isn't it inefficient to run a PSU near its limit?

[umbral heron]

7950x3d is 120W tdp, 7900xtx is 350W, 900W should be plenty

[ashen spindle]

it is less efficent yes but unless you do furmark you dont run your gpu at max power during games

thats the spec for the ratings so yes its ideal but get a plat rating and it already doesnt matter compared to the peak of bronze psu even

keep in mind this is a zoomed in y axis

I also just had 750w or I would have probably gotten 850w for a new build or something like that

but you really dont need more

there is only so much that powerdraw on desktops can go up with cooling limitations

1500W gpus coming in datacenter wont transfer down to consumer

but yeah computex june 3rd so currently its time to wait for any cpu/gpu purchase till then if its not something urgent

[umbral heron]

My rule of thumb is ((CPU TDP + GPU TDP)x1.25)x1.5
So for my current 3600X+6700XT I have 650W PSU

Nah, GPU is semi-urgent, I'd like to fully upgrade till the end of the year

I just hope my brothers' good ole 1070Ti will survive until then

[atomic hornet]

Also wouldn't generalize too much about most efficient, yes the 80+ rating has a efficiency curve but that does not mean psu's follow it exactly.
Their golden sample just has to exceed at least those points.

[blazing iris]

Hello,

I have just purchased a PC.

I had a question, on Valorant I am at around 400-500 fps but when I look at my GPU, it is only used at 4% is this normal please?

[ashen spindle]

yes

games like valorant are mostly cpu bound and usage is also inaccurate and doesnt quite reflect what you think it does

[blazing iris]

CPU is used around 20-30% on Valorant

[ashen spindle]

as I said usage is not working like you think it would without deeper knowledge but thats perfectly normal

[atomic hornet]

Let's just say a gpu / cpu are not water tanks, usage % only has limited use.

[blazing iris]

Isn't it possible to make sure you use it more?

[reef patrol]

That is across all cores and threads. That's not how most games work.

[ashen spindle]

well you can make it use more if they change the game code

best short example I can come up with: if you use a calculator and that can do addition and subtraction, but you only use addition you have 50% usage

the only way to change that is change the math you do (the games code)

[lime agate]

What cpu do u have? If intel disable hyper threading and disable e cores

[ashen spindle]

eh if hes at 400+fps its probably not worth messing with things you dont know about that could cause issues when you need to troubleshoot at one point to get some few percent more

[blazing iris]

thank you for the explanations

[blazing iris]

i5-14600kf

[lime agate]

If you want more performance try to deactivate e cores, if it doesn’t work for you you can reenable it

[astral haven]

I would go with quin on this one, 400-500 fps is really good, dont mess with it

[smoky frigate]

disabling e-cores is a safe thing to try, but it can just as well make performance worse

[halcyon moss]

Disabling ecores sounds like a thing you can easily forget you did... And suffer in the future

[smoky frigate]

oh, another trick that works more often than not, is disabling Hyper Threading

which I read intel is going to dump next gen

[atomic hornet]

If your goal is to increase utilizatition disabling cores would definitely help.
As for gpu usage, downclocking could increase usage.
Does it improve performance, on the contrary but if the goal is usage number go up those are options.

[ashen spindle]

https://fxtwitter.com/ryanshrout/status/1792606845145854283?t=57Hsc8jK90ZFiTm_DErZWg&s=19

we are so fucked

[blazing iris]

Thanks for the info, but increasing the use of the GPU, the performance should be better right? I do not understand very well.

[atomic hornet]

I was mostly joking, no it does not I mean if you make your gpu slower the usage will be higher, but your game will also run slower

[blazing iris]

So the best thing is not to touch anything on it?

[smoky frigate]

if it's running fine, better not

[astral haven]

nah its fine, give up your autonomy to the robots and we will automatically get utopia of course, thats what all the "ai experts" say

[smoky frigate]

watch those people be the experts on the next stupid trend

[astral haven]

well to be fair to them, some of the biggest tech utopians are actual ai people

yann lecun and melanie mitchell for examples

[smoky frigate]

https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-ends-superalignment-team-manage-ai-risks-2024-5

[ashen spindle]

I mean lecun has a positive look on ai but I dont think he would be that delusional to not pretend the way MS does it will literally kill people

[pallid pasture]

I bought long time ago the wooting one keyboard, did use it a while, than some of the switches broke, is it possible to buy the lekker switches and put them in there? Are they compatible with the first keyboards?

[ashen spindle]

nope

you could try emailing them if they have some last stock replacement switches they would sell

[astral haven]

"it is clear that these systems are doomed to a shallow understanding that will never approximate the full-bodied thinking we see in humans."

[smoky frigate]

given time, maybe they will, but at the moment they're remix machines

I think making these AI ethics teams in the first place was a PR move to sell them as smarter than they are right now

[ashen spindle]

I just think lecun is thinking about ai models and not about how microsoft will fuck up policy settings and what not and then we get data breaches and people end up killed or in custody because some AI hallucination

Yann LeCun (@ylecun) on X

Let's see,
Typing "how to synthesize codeine?" on Google gives you links to articles with detailed answers.
Nobody has ever worried about that.
But somehow, people are now demanding safety guardrails to stop LLMs from answering such questions.
What? Why?

Twitter · Apr 13, 2023, 4:56 AM

[ashen spindle]

ehh thats talking about guardrails of the model not the setup of the whole thing being fucked

[astral haven]

the problem is if you listen to him speak, you will understand that he actually doesnt understand why people are concerned

[ashen spindle]

I just think his stance on it doesnt matter for the Microsoft big brother because thats at a different point of the system

if it should tell you how to make meth or not vs you are monitored any time and that can be used by police as evidence or parents if you are in a religous household etc.

i wouldnt bother listening to the entire debate since he never really says much of anything, but he does repeat this sentiment over and over again (timestamped)

[smoky frigate]

lollllll

this is when people finally ditch windows, right?

right?

[crimson wigeon]

no

[umbral heron]

[ashen spindle]

I'm not disagreeing with you about his stance because I didnt watch barely anything of him I just dont think it applies to the issues I see with this

[frozen ingot]

unfortunately no because every alternative is still much worse

[umbral heron]

Now only a bit worse

[frozen ingot]

its pretty damn annoying windows is the only true jack of all trades OS in existence

[smoky frigate]

be an infohazard unto yourself and everyone around you... or git gud at not running windows hmm

[astral haven]

yea but the experts trying to push forward are altman who seems to be happy to sacrifice safety for more clout, lecun (head of ai at facebook) who is trying to minimize safety of available models because he doesnt understand the risks and google who seems to be the least crazy (somehow)

[analog sinew]

what the fuck

[steep creek]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uvFqjsbemY

just geekbench test, so no meaningful benchmarks yet it seems

[vagrant pagoda]

WTF is x elite

[ashen spindle]

how have you not heard of qualcomm calling it that

its been the name since the announcement last year

[sharp badger]

https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/pcs-and-tablets/snapdragon-x-elite

[steep creek]

o yikes theres no x86 variant when im checking the configurator

[ashen spindle]

yeah thats launching at computex

[steep creek]

ah

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah but they have now specs though

Other than vague bullshit

[ashen spindle]

ehh thats been out for a bit now too

[vagrant pagoda]

Only interesting specs I've seen is 12 total cores and 2 boost to like 4ghz

[sharp badger]

YouTube is suddenly laggy since like yesterday, maybe it's uBlock acting up?

[smoky frigate]

maybe, I have not noticed anything (on Brave)

[sharp badger]

Everything else seem fine on Firefox? Edge seem to work much better even while disabling uBlock on Firefox

[lime agate]

I had the same issue with firefox

[gusty kiln]

so when do we welcome our new skynet overlords?

[ashen spindle]

whenever the strix and lunar lake variants come out so people actually buy them

[gusty kiln]

how many strix laptops were announced?

[ashen spindle]

today was only SDXE

[gusty kiln]

ew

[ashen spindle]

strix and lnl should be computex in two weeks

[gusty kiln]

is the battery life on SDXE better than any x86?
