[serene sail]

its the actuation

at 0.1 it spams shift when i press a, but at 0.2 it doesnt

kekew

[static spruce]

lol

Well at least you were able to resolve the issue

[reef patrol]

Always fun to wake up to my GPU glitching on the desktop and a bluescreen.

[pale sigil]

OEM ftw

[grave surge]

I know right especcially when u ware in an intense match

[trim crane]

why not? makes the unit itself smaller with tested components, replaceable parts if they break, it just makes sense

[astral haven]

the unit is larger, more expensive, worse cooling than stock, and its dramatically more expensive than just putting on a bigger core and power limiting it would be

the only advantage of it is it is optimized for their specific case, so if you happen to have that case? sweet

[mild dome]

For those Quadro (yes I know Nvidia killed the brand name) cards it's probably cheaper todo the modding

However the card becomes so expensive it's probably worth saving up for higher tiered model anyway

[astral haven]

Now it's a shame that nvidia makes it hard for manufacturers to go all out on the top cards where there would be no limit, but matrix and hof still exist

[trim crane]

msi is cooking something up

internal 4.5 slot liquid cooling

Suprim Fuzion

[astral haven]

Yea but MSI's last attempt at a good PCB for oc was the 980 ti

Since then they've been fe or worse

[trim crane]

overclocking in recent years has been kinda disappointing

[pale sigil]

Because its not been as necessary?

[trim crane]

all about lower power and efficiency

[empty wren]

I do find it a bit funny big little cores exist on Intel desktop processors

[misty saffron]

trust me it's not just you

i still don't understand why we need efficiency cores on machines designed to be connected to the mains at all times

[halcyon moss]

Overclocking is done out of the box now

Only gains are indeed undervolting

[empty wren]

Some people straight out disable those. On a laptop and if we still had Intel x86 phone fine

It works amazing on battery powered devices, but yeah main ac-to-dc.

[ashen spindle]

no small cores are fine the first gens are just shit and intel is doing the approach wrong

[mild dome]

In theory little cores can do smaller tasks freeing up larger cores todo the big boy work

How do you think they could improve the little cores?

[ashen spindle]

in itself next gen is good enough and they just need to make them like AMD so they dont disable AVX512 on desktop

[lyric hatch]

The little cores would be good if they helped efficiency but ya know doesn't seem to be working out that way

[ashen spindle]

LNL does seem good so for laptops its likely a good think just for desktrop it's going to be like next gen+1 before they really become not shit

[misty saffron]

that theory would've been great if developers were forced to specify which tasks are big boy work

good luck getting that done now

[empty wren]

Microsoft needs to figure out a way to use a strong hand like apple at times

[pale sigil]

Is that not underclocking

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle are there new laptops/cpus coming or is it a good time to buy one?

[ashen spindle]

computex starts monday and has announcements

[pale sigil]

Ok so wait

[ashen spindle]

when they are out idk but this wek can tell you more

[pale sigil]

Ty, I think I'm going to have to invest in one.

But I need to do way more research this time..

I wish they weren't all 15-17" though

[lyric hatch]

As someone who recently bought a gaming laptop, unless you really need one. Don't

[ashen spindle]

well especially for lower power we get some good ones just idk what the release time or price will be

[pale sigil]

I've been in the hospital for 4-5 weeks and will be in rehab for a min of 6 months and now wheelchair bound.

Starting to think I need one haha

Impossible for me to live in my own home and I don't see myself being able to use my desktop for a long time

But I'm not after a gaming laptop really, the last one I had was great and only a rtx 3050 which ran what I needed.

[trim crane]

intels hybrid architecture was marketing and thats it

i can say that because I have been using a 13700K and the little cores were never used properly

[lyric hatch]

Funny you say that I bought mine for the same reason
Hope you getting better pal

[pale sigil]

Sadly I ain't getting better which is why I think I need it

[ashen spindle]

bruh no, they dont spend millions just for numbers on slides

[pale sigil]

No longer the days I just get into my chair and use my computer

[lyric hatch]

Here was my setup a year and a half ago

Doing better now though

[pale sigil]

Ouch

My situation is my legs are gone on me overnight, however I'm not on IVs etc thankfully

Just waiting forever for anything to happen and then rehab to learn how to live with a wheelchair

[lyric hatch]

Just out the blue? That sucks, mine was leukemia had a stem cell transplant and been in remission for like 18 months now

[pale sigil]

Kinda, I have had spine issues but me being special I'm fucked on my lower half of discs and over a few weeks I got worse but then my legs just gave up and I can't really use them/lower half numb etc

Surgery is too invasive and risky and in general they've never seen a spine so fucked because I'm special

[lyric hatch]

Gotta love being special

[trim crane]

happy to hear youre doing better

[pale sigil]

@lyric hatch glad you're doing better though.

[trim crane]

oh hi guys

[pale sigil]

My situation pales in comparison, my sister had cancer twice and her ex had leukemia.

It takes a lot to fight leukaemia 💪

[lyric hatch]

For extended hosptial trips the laptop helps, I was just a bit too out of it to be able play games for most of the treatment unfortunately

[pale sigil]

Ye I can imagine, it was always horrible seeing my sister when being blasted with chemo.

That stuff is horrible to the body.

[lyric hatch]

Not the best that's for sure, seems to have done the job though fingers crossed

[trim crane]

are you two doing ok now? or at least better

[lyric hatch]

As all the doctors say you just have to get use to a new "normal"

[pale sigil]

It amazes me how people get through it, my sister decided one day she couldn't cope anymore but my grandad said piss off and dragged her in the hospital lol

Horrible horrible stuff, she was basically a zombie for a long time.

[lyric hatch]

She doing alright now?

[pale sigil]

Yes, she's like 10 years in remission.

[trim crane]

10 years in remission :O

[pale sigil]

Could be more, my memory is shit lol

[trim crane]

me too :(

[lyric hatch]

Mine too but I have an excuse now

[pale sigil]

It's 11 now

I remember because we celebrated 10yr last year

[trim crane]

oh ok

[elder estuary]

hihi um

i ordered my wooting 60he

i am contemplating whether to lube it or not. Is it worth it? Is it hard? Thank you!

[final flame]

It is prelubed, would only reccomend lubing if its worth it to you
Not difficult at all, just a very long and repetitive process

[elder estuary]

if it’s prelubed, no point then ig

[lime agate]

I’m having issues with steam

Someone else does aswell?

Steam community wont load

Like my profile

[sweet cairn]

Anyone in here has the Viper V3 Pro?

Just wondering if you need the razer software to use it?

[elder estuary]

nah

ive had the ultimate, the og one

dont need it

[sweet cairn]

aight dope

[latent mural]

anyone help me

ive been use wooting for 3y

Today the keyboard suddenly disconnected and is not recognized by some PCs

[reef patrol]

Please make a thread over in #1019755933959733258

[rocky canopy]

i have a pitch for a mouse

so basically its one of those vertical ergo mice

but ambidextrous

[lyric hatch]

like this?

[pale sigil]

Someone's airpods were screaming with alarms last night at 4:30am lady night @shadow minnow

The fuck is that about?

[reef patrol]

Just their personal alarm? 😄

[pale sigil]

Nah he said something about dropping them in his sleep

He woke us all up

[lyric hatch]

oh yeah I had a guy in my ward who use to shout incoherent things at random times throughout the night, also tried to escape the ward a few times

always a machine beeping, an emergency alarm going off, someone to wake you up at 5am for bloods all fun stuff

[glass timber]

I want to download the keyboard right

[analog sinew]

you wouldn't download a keyboard

[glass timber]

How do I go to the keyboard settings?

[analog sinew]

i don't have any

[elder estuary]

what screw does the wooting 60he use? planning on modding it when i get it

[digital cliff]

what... screw?

[elder estuary]

unscrewing and stuff

they keyboard

[vagrant pagoda]

https://youtu.be/5zE3H65IDtM?si=8HO6wC16mtAS1zK0

[analog sinew]

ph1 screws

[elder estuary]

okay thank you

do i need to remove the switches to swap the case?

[analog sinew]

yes, but you can remove them together with the plate

taking that out takes all switches with it

[elder estuary]

okay i will do that

thank you

Currently the mods i’m thinking rn is:

• new case with factory foam dampening

Later down the line:

• burger mount
• lubing switches (south facing)

someone send me links for the burger mount rings pls

[trim crane]

lol

[halcyon moss]

And uh.. How much heavier is it?

SteamDeck is already quite heavy

[trim crane]

gee i wonder 😂

[ashen spindle]

678g

[pale sigil]

Apparently not much difference

[ashen spindle]

so like 30g more than steam deck

[halcyon moss]

Ah that's isn't too bad

[trim crane]

no one really likes the ally x from what im reading

[reef patrol]

Linus did an in depth comparison video. Well as in depth as something that isn't GN does I guess

[ashen spindle]

its literally just the ally with double the battery

so basically just get the x if you wanted the ally anyway

[halcyon moss]

More memory is quite welcome as well

Since it's shared

[lyric hatch]

also they probably fixed the massive issue with the SD card reader

[pale sigil]

I just hate the idea of not using SteamOS

[trim crane]

did LPCAMM2 solve the memory speed and bandwidth issues while still being user serviceable

[halcyon moss]

Startup steam in big picture mode?

[ashen spindle]

depends what you mean with bandwidth issues but probably yes

[trim crane]

SteamOS lighter weight and no telemetry

[halcyon moss]

No?

[pale sigil]

I also hate not having an easy way to dual boot.

[halcyon moss]

You're saying valve isn't measuring the shut out of steam os?

[pale sigil]

They aren't measuring the shut out of it.

[ashen spindle]

you can disable everything just like on windows on a desktop pc so thats kinda of a pointless argument anyway

oh also nivida was the first to announce new laptops with next gen intel and amd cpus before they announced the cpus lol

so strix point it callsed AMD Ryzen AI 300

and lunar lake is Intel Core Ultra 200

[lyric hatch]

god that is unbelievably cringe

[ashen spindle]

say thank you microsoft

[trim crane]

AI sucks

keep the 3 5 7 9 tiering

[umbral heron]

fuck you Microsoft

[ashen spindle]

thanks to microsoft the naming is shit and the iGPU is worse too btw 🙂

because they had to make room for the NPU

[wheat plume]

Just to run Copilot Recall

.-. to spy on everything you do

[ashen spindle]

nono

to make MS teams blur more efficent

[grand veldt]

Hey hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has/had issues with WASD keys lagging or something

[ashen spindle]

no, make a post in #1019755933959733258 if you do

you either get generic pandering, or aggressively gay

no inbetween

any company that actively does that whole pride-month pandering is just making themselves less appealing to me

[gusty kiln]

Lol nvidia jumped the gun and did their keynote early

[ashen spindle]

"keynote"

more like yensen just yapping

they showed more new AMD/intel products than new nvidia products rubin roadmap aside

[cold gale]

Hi my pc is outside of my room so I have to bring a long usb cable to the keyboard, it's 5 meters (16 ft) long. Right now it's doing fine, but I've only tested it for a day. Would there be any issue if I hook up a nice coiled cable at the end of it? Do you guys have any alternative I could try? Thank you

[fickle ore]

[ashen spindle]

The specs rumour comes from @XpeaGPU on X
ah so the guy who literally just got once again shown as completely fake because his rubin leak numbers were not what jensen announced today xd

so, disregard entirely

[fickle ore]

Yeah I can disregard the specs but the part about intel being the manuf is prob right

[ashen spindle]

well sure they use some test vehicle and who knows if that product comes out

but that was clear since day one of the fabs opening

[fickle ore]

why?

[ashen spindle]

because of course they would try and build something when you only have 2 choices without it, and dont compete with intels cores business

amd cant make cpus on it and nvidia doesnt care when they use stock arm cores anyway

[prime bay]

does the "Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches" also have the actuation ability?

yes

owo

[marsh pewter]

they used this exact pfp last year

they usually do stuff like this tho, they had the troll face hidden in their pfp a while back

[whole axle]

45 min till the event???

Will 9000 be announced?

[ashen spindle]

yes

[whole axle]

Bet

New gpus?

Like new gpus with the hype I guess

[ashen spindle]

low chance

[whole axle]

I was gonna get the 7900 gre unless they announce something

Ah ok

[lyric hatch]

Nvidia will most likely announce and release first before AMD

[ashen spindle]

nah amd will likely be earlier but wont have a new halo

[whole axle]

You think the ryzen 9000x3d will have the same issues the 7000 did?

Like the 7800x3d being better than the 7950x3d lol

[ashen spindle]

I mean thats not really an issue in that sense

and its not just straight up better

[whole axle]

Technically it was supposed to be a better gaming cpu

No?

But bc of windows code or sum it got messed up

[ashen spindle]

it just has some issues when some game doesnt use the right ccd and its not worth it for just gaming but its not worse in that sense

[whole axle]

Ah ok

Just wondering if a 9800x3d will be the new goat cuz of it lmaoo

[ashen spindle]

I mean probably

[unkempt lake]

9000

Series

https://tenor.com/view/nut-cum-orgasm-gif-12034054

[whole axle]

Damn

No 3d chips announced

Rip

[ashen spindle]

that much was obvious

[whole axle]

I don’t watch these events

First one

So I thought they just announced It all

[ashen spindle]

they come like half a year later than the vanilla variants

[whole axle]

Ah ok

[ashen spindle]

might change in the future but not for this and likely not next gen

[whole axle]

Ah gotcha

So now I gotta decide between 9000 normal or 7000 3d

Lol

[ashen spindle]

normal 9k should be better because its just all around better but if oyu just play one game wait for benchmarks basically

[whole axle]

Gotcha

[gusty kiln]

Lack of dell is hmmmm

Maybe intel bought them out again

[vagrant pagoda]

thats a windows issue

[whole axle]

Well windows ain’t gonna do shit about it

Windows fell off

[gusty kiln]

192 cores

Jeez

[vagrant pagoda]

24 die or bigger die?

[gusty kiln]

12 dies

16c ea

[vagrant pagoda]

fattt

so 32c desktop?

[gusty kiln]

Probably next gen

9950x still only 16 core

I really want to see 192 turn vs 192 ampere one

[unkempt lake]

I'll just grab a 9k

Replace my intel 9k with an amd 9k

XDDDD

[whole axle]

New motherboards look promising

Although Wi-Fi 7 is still like

[lyric hatch]

i'll be waiting for the new gpus, see if the x3d are out by then

[whole axle]

No where lmao

No internet providers do Wi-Fi 7 right

They all on WiFi 6

Not even E

[whole axle]

Same I want to see a 5.0 amd gpu

Then get a 9800x3d

W

[astral haven]

you can buy wifi 7 routers and aps today

[whole axle]

Also standard usb 4.0 is pretty cool

[lyric hatch]

I mean it's just a matter of which of what router you use

[astral haven]

you dont have to wait for your isp to give you one

heck id be surprised if most isps gave out wifi 6

[whole axle]

I use att fiber. With their default stuff so imma assume it’s WiFi 6

[lyric hatch]

mine did, but I live in a country where our fibre network is actually good

[astral haven]

you can get whatever you want and wire it into the att modem

[whole axle]

Wi-Fi 7 things are still like 1k+

?

I wasn’t sure that fiber supported WiFi 7

I didn’t even know that

[astral haven]

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Tri-Band-Archer-BE550-HomeShield/dp/B0CJSNSVMR/

https://www.amazon.com/EAP773-Tri-Band-Multi-Link-Operation-Integrated/dp/B0CTL1Y9YR/

[whole axle]

$300??

Am I dreaming

Why are so many of them like 1k+

Like orbi

Sheesh

[astral haven]

bad reviews of the second one are "we tried with only wifi 6 devices and didnt get the advertised speeds"

[astral haven]

those are usually mesh systems with multiple wifi points

[whole axle]

Ah ok

I would only need to buy the router right?

[sudden imp]

Yeah it will only go four a certain range

It’s really about space

[astral haven]

technically you could survive with just getting an ap and using your existing router for routing

[whole axle]

My router is on the other side of my wall In my house. In the living room

So no issues there I don’t think

I just want to upgrade this terrible att router so I can dream of getting my 1gb speed. Might as well future proof to WiFi 7

So if I only need the router

W

[lyric hatch]

I get about 550mbps on my phone with my wifi 6e router

[astral haven]

and i get slower speeds than the lte connection to my wifi 5 router 🤣

[lyric hatch]

although it's not that far away

Maybe I was capping I just retested it

[whole axle]

Do I just buy the router and then plug it into my existing one?

Mine rn

[lyric hatch]

What you need it for

It's only gonna get cheaper/better the longer you wait

[astral haven]

this looks excellent wth do you need an upgrade for

[whole axle]

Future proofing. For when I build my next pc build cuz I will get the new motherboard with WiFi 7

[astral haven]

wire up your pc

[whole axle]

I can’t

I’d have to still a wire through my wall lol

[lyric hatch]

Do it

[whole axle]

They didn’t put Ethernet into my room

[astral haven]

dewit

[whole axle]

Unfortunately not my house lol

[lyric hatch]

Be cheaper then buying a wifi 7 router and faster

[whole axle]

I pay for the internet

Not the walls

Or I route a 25 ft cable out of my room to the living room 💀

Somehow hide it with cable management?

[astral haven]

🤷‍♂️ sounds good to me

[lyric hatch]

My landlord ain't gonna mind if I pay for it

[whole axle]

Can’t have people tripping on it

[whole axle]

My Landlord are my parents 😭💀

[astral haven]

that is a highly fixable problem

[whole axle]

I ain’t living on my own with cost rn

I’ll stick to paying for the internet

Wait so Ethernet would just be way better than getting the new router?

[lyric hatch]

Think I'd lose my mind having to live with my parents again

[whole axle]

Cuz I’ll just do that

[whole axle]

I’m either working, eating out, or in my room

I’ve never had Ethernet so I wonder if I’ll notice it

Cheaper than I new router I suppose

A

[astral haven]

yea you have plenty of bandwidth for whatever, the only gains you will be getting will be from bypassing interference pretty much and interference hits no matter what, tho 6ghz band could help

[whole axle]

Also does the brand matter? Can I just use the Best Buy essentials

25’ should be enough i hope

[astral haven]

for ethernet? might want to get a cat 8 or 6e cable, brand doesnt matter

[whole axle]

What’s the difference?

[astral haven]

practically nothing

[whole axle]

Between cat 6, 6e, and 8?

[astral haven]

6 non e is usually overpriced, 7 is bad and janky

[whole axle]

So just get 8

[astral haven]

or 6e if its cheaper

they are usually the same physical item, just certified before and after the ratification of 8

[whole axle]

These brand names on Amazon are so sketchy sounding 💀💀

[astral haven]

correct

[whole axle]

Imma just sort by best selling I guess

61k reviews

4.7

Sure

Uhhh 20, 25, 30 ft

Shi

20 should be good

I think

[astral haven]

double check, there often is some extra distance added by having to route the cables properly

[whole axle]

Aight

[whole axle]

Ty for the help man!

[astral haven]

have fun, tho ill say you probably dont even need to bother with a wire considering the current speeds..

[whole axle]

Eh might as well pay the $20

If I’m gonna pay for internet imma get the full benefit lol

[sudden imp]

Antecs cases look pretty nice

[umbral heron]

Why 1300W PSUs are twice as expensive as 1000W ones?

[reef patrol]

Demand and supply. Also packing more into the same size means more expensive components.

[umbral heron]

Big brain time
Imma get 2 600~650W ones and connect PS_ON and GND together

Although it'd be nice to have a PC which is not a fire hazard for once

Oh well

[digital cliff]

that seems reasonable, not to mention safe!

[sharp badger]

https://videocardz.com/newz/super-flower-announces-2800w-power-supply-with-four-12v-2x6-power-connectors Get this one

[reef patrol]

Hard to find an outlet that'll let you draw that much 😄

[rough patrol]

I remember back when the highest end psu only had like 80plus gold

[old marlin]

any outlet in the EU basically

outside bathrooms

[reef patrol]

Apparantly Danish outlets are anywhere from 2300 to 3680w For a total of a phase.

[old marlin]

yea

10A fuse for bathrooms

typical is 16A tho

[sharp badger]

Also the ROG Ally X can be pre-ordered & the old version haven't dropped in price 👀

[reef patrol]

So just barely under the limit - If I plug nothing else into the phase 😄

[sharp badger]

Yeah it depends on what's connected to the fuse

[old marlin]

you can do 20A from a phase iirc

and then get up to 16A from one fuse

or you can get permission for like 32A from a phase as well

rather easily

[umbral heron]

Pretty sure we have 20A phases too

[old marlin]

I mean the phase is way more amps than that

that is just how much you are permitted to use

and with how much it is fused in your fusebox

[umbral heron]

Yeye, I'm not sure if we have 20A or 40A though in total

[old marlin]

probably 60

[umbral heron]

It was either 20 or 40, so most likely 2x20

[old marlin]

wtf

do you only got 2 phases

[whole axle]

These computex are all the same huh?

This Asus is just ai

[old marlin]

AIsus

AI sus

[rough patrol]

AI is the new tech fad like nft or crypto a few years ago

[whole axle]

I just want to see if they announce new oled gaming monitors man

[rough patrol]

Nope all you get is ai monitor that makes your shit look weird or something

[whole axle]

Like like ai monitor to reduce glare?

Just shut your window

Turn off the light lol

[umbral heron]

I don't remember exactly, it was something about very old power lines, they were to replace them in the whole village this year

[scenic thunder]

The best part of AI are companies that rebranded intelligent tech they already had as AI for the sake of hopping on the SEO/marketing wagon.

[old marlin]

you should still have 3 phases

[scenic thunder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_HOrMmWoMA One of my favorite examples lol

[umbral heron]

I'll have to check once I'm back home

[whole axle]

I need some AI shoes that auto lace

[old marlin]

I need some AI that can fix my weird 2000s era software

They already made a rice cooker with fuzzy logic so it can adjust the heating element based on the cook time and heat. Then AI happened and they were like "WE GOTTA SLAP THE AI STICKER ON IT" without changing the product at all.

[old marlin]

and even for that era it was kinda old already

[old marlin]

your rice cooker uses logic?

[umbral heron]

if (temp >= 102) heating_off();

[whole axle]

ProArt is such a gimmick in my eyes

I mean most tech is nowadays lol

[scenic thunder]

i dont own one, but it's really basic tech that just extends cook time if it's like really hot in your kitchen by lowering the heating element temp a little, or the reverse for a cold day.

[old marlin]

my ricecooker has 0 silicon

why would it

[scenic thunder]

Because the best part of fancy japanese rice cookers with pseudo brains is that they also play old mcdonald had a farm when the rice is done.

[rough patrol]

My rice cooker is a garbage cheap piece of shit but it works just fine

However what would be cool, is a rice cooker that automatically adds the right amount of water

I always struggle with that

[lyric hatch]

use your finger ez

[rough patrol]

Imagine a rice cooker with a giant water tank attached to it

Adds the water needed by weighing the rice or somethin

[umbral heron]

A pot.
1 glass of rice, 1.5 glasses of water
Boil, turn off, leave for 20 mins, done

[lyric hatch]

i put my finger in if it feels like the right amount it is

[rough patrol]

No

Add garlic and ginger

Make rice taste yummy

[analog sinew]

i cook rice in a pot

[old marlin]

💀

boil for 10

leave for 10

[lyric hatch]

I only do that when i'm making congee

[rough patrol]

Cooking rice in pot is a fine option but it requires more work/supervision

[old marlin]

not necessarily

[umbral heron]

Turn off just after it starts to boil

[old marlin]

if you got the ratios right you really just need to set your stove to the right heat

and then wait

[lyric hatch]

i put rice in rice cooker and go play games, even 2 hours later I come back my rice is still ready

can't do that with a pot

[old marlin]

yep

[umbral heron]

If I put rice in a pot, that's because I'm hungry now, not in 2 hours

[lyric hatch]

skill issue

it's just convenient to put the rice on and forget about it at the start of any meal

[umbral heron]

No place for an unitasker in my kitchen

[old marlin]

you can cook other stuff in a rice cooker

[umbral heron]

So I can in a pot

[old marlin]

it's easier in a rice cooker tho

[steep creek]

i don’t eat enough rice to justify getting a rice cooker

[lyric hatch]

I have rice with pretty much every meal

[steep creek]

but yea goes quick enough in a pot don’t have any issues with that tbh

[fair gull]

depends on if it has a heating function. if it does the rice near the bowl surface will dry out

[steep creek]

i get tired of eating the same thing over and over so i alternate

[umbral heron]

Why would I want to make boiling stuff in a pot easier?

[rough patrol]

You clearly havent had a rice cooker

[steep creek]

tho one thing i’ve never regret getting is a temperature controlled kettle, makes tea and coffee making so much easier

[rough patrol]

My parents got a nice ass kettle and i really like it but my only issue with it is

It uses some weird shitty touch interface instead of buttons

[umbral heron]

I have this weird looking electric one
But oh boi, how fast does it boil the water, I love it

[steep creek]

oh i got one with buttons, those touch ones look nice tho

[rough patrol]

We need a new kettle cause our current one was cheap and shitty but looked fancy

And those are always the worst

Not ergonomic, burns you and its also falling apart

[rough patrol]

That looks good

[umbral heron]

[rough patrol]

My parents got this thing

Its nice but i hate the interface

[lyric hatch]

damn built in tea infuser

[rough patrol]

I dont think ive ever seen them use that

[umbral heron]

I love how we went along Computex > AI > rice cookers > kettles topic thread

[steep creek]

oh it reminds me of the breville / sage tea infuser

i just need 80c water to make matcha

[umbral heron]

Be MS Teams
Send a notification
"You have a notification"

[reef patrol]

Facebook does that constantly for me. I send a message to my gf in the messenger system, and then Facebook for some reason has to tell me I have a notification... of the message -i- sent 😄

[fair gull]

i had a simpler solution for that

called my girlfriend... she measures water temp anyway with a thermometer so a normal kettle does the job

not to mention the whole weighing tea leaves to sub gram accuracy and such

[ashen spindle]

nono you will need AI powered cookers to not be off

[fair gull]

lol she wont even let me do any of the tea stuff... shes way too deep into tea making

[steep creek]

yea i used to take the temperature using a thermometer but i just wanted something automatic tbh

[fair gull]

well she didnt trust hers and when it broke we didnt get a temperature controlled one again but just a cheap normal one

[steep creek]

for measuring i just wing it half a teaspoon ish

ah

[fair gull]

man my gf would kill me multiple times over if i just went in and winged it

the only thing im allowed to wing is when the mint tea leaves are empty and i get to use tea bags for it

[umbral heron]

Everyone needs a healthy obsession about something

[fair gull]

i mean the tea she makes tastes really good

[steep creek]

understandable i know someone who likes to be accurate with measuring cofee

[fair gull]

im glad shes not into coffee aswell

thatd be a nightmare

[steep creek]

buddy of mine has one of those big machines i dont know the name, but hes really into making a good cup

[fair gull]

yeah thats exactly why im happy shes not into coffee

shed need so many gadgets and damn its expensive when i watch some coffee making videos

[steep creek]

yea fair, his one kitchen wall was basically all coffee gear lol

[fair gull]

yeah and 50minutes later you finally have a cup of espresso

[umbral heron]

But man, does it taste good

[fair gull]

idk never wanted to spend the time waiting

lol

[umbral heron]

[steep creek]

id just go to the cafe and have a specialty coffee once a week if i want something that good lol

for home i just want something quick and easy to make

[umbral heron]

I just buy mint in bags

[fair gull]

well we buy mint leaves from a local tea shop if we can

but they rarely have it

its so nice and strong after a good 30minutes

[steep creek]

i should try to add some mint in my tea, these days i only add a bit of ceylon cinnamon on top

[umbral heron]

I have some fancy teas from the local shop too, but I usually make them once, maybe twice a week
On day to day basis I drink mint

I had huge issues with heartburn and my stomach being very picky about what I can eat without either diarrhea or throwing up
Not eating after 21 and drinking mint helped immensely with that

[steep creek]

oh wow i see, i wish you good health

but ive been wanting to try yerba mate tea, tho seems you need some equipment to prepare / drink it so ive been holding off lol

[umbral heron]

You only need one of those fancy cups and straws
My dad drinks yerba, I don't really like the taste of it though

[steep creek]

yea ideally id just find some place to buy a drink from

Sounds like ASUS are in hot water in Europe. Selling obvious RMA returns as new.

[sudden imp]

In the EU?

Oh no they are screwed

[balmy vector]

[sudden imp]

if they get a US FTC complaint plus Europe goes after them that’s some serious fines.

[reef patrol]

Not the consumer's problem you have a lot of defective or returned products. Can't replace a product under warranty with a used one (even if recertified or whatever) unless customer specifically agrees to this offer (because new products aren't available anymore)

[sudden imp]

Yeah that’s just scummy

If you’re losing money on a product discontinue it don’t try to use refurbished as new.

Phanteks water cooling stuff looks awesome eliminating fittings will ensuring water tight?

That’s great

Also loving the windows lighting integration

[reef patrol]

Eliminating fittings?

They're still fittings, quick disconnect or not. It's a nifty thing, but considering I need to replace my tubes anyway when I do a maintenance once every two years is... pointless to me.

A scissor does the trick.

[sudden imp]

I thought it was fun. May not be the most practical for usage however I like the thinking outside of the box.

[reef patrol]

I mean it's definitely innovative and clever. But it isn't eliminating fittings as such, cause they're still just fittings 😄

[old marlin]

tbh I would not trust sharkbites

[sudden imp]

I love the windows lighting integration I hate having so many different softwares for devices when it can be built into the OS.

[reef patrol]

Mhmm. Softtubing barbs is safe if a bit rough to install.

And I like the look (and already paid for the fittings )

[old marlin]

you need CLEAN cuts tho

otherwise they can leak

regular fittings are a lot more forgiving

[reef patrol]

I have never had any problem with that.

I measure out what I need for each run and then add a bit more, Then I use a scissor to cut to fit and that's that.

Takes some practice of course, and I always make sure to do a powered off leak test.

This fucker was not easy. Had to redo it. I definitely miss how my previous CPU block was further up to make it just a bit longer

[sharp badger]

FFS was interested in getting the Ally X but maybe an SD is just the better choice

[gusty kiln]

I'm waiting for steam deck 2

But 2026

The only drawback of the steam deck is no game pass support. But that's more of an Microsoft problem

[ashen spindle]

No that’s good

I want game pass to die so it doesn’t kill the gaming industry

Or we get more hifi rush studios closing after a hit piece because it can’t be monetized on game pass

[sudden imp]

You can mod your steam deck

[sharp badger]

Would like a SD2 but yeah it's a long way from releasing

[umbral heron]

Why would you cripple your Steam Deck by giving it Windows?

There's so much other laptops in a handheld form - Ally, Legion Go, whatever MSI is smoking, GPD, Ayaneo...
But Deck is closer to a portable console than PC in a handheld form

[reef patrol]

Technology needs to learn its place.

Nvidia finally adding overclocking to the nvidia app

[balmy vector]

just switched over to the app

[rough osprey]

can u undervolt too?

[gusty kiln]

Based on the early screen shots, you can only set limits atm

Do not see a curve optimizer or an offset

And it's mainly an auto overclocker

[rough osprey]

ig not too bad with a fan / temperature limit

Instagram is already a waste of time, they are making it even more so

Ofc
Anything made by Facebook is a waste of time

[balmy vector]

[umbral heron]

I mean social media in general
Instagram especially, I don't see a reason why it does exist?

[balmy vector]

Facebook sunk cost

[empty wren]

Some people use it for business

[unkempt lake]

You do use reddit

[umbral heron]

No

Used to, even had an account with 150k karma, but deleted it
I'm way happier ever since, arguing with strangers on the internet is tiresome and frustrating

[unkempt lake]

I just use it to read tech news and never comment

Or post

[rough osprey]

humans wanna be social and get entertained

[raw zephyr]

then you dont need an account ;d

discord is the only “social media” i still have an account on

[unkempt lake]

But then it keeps popping up on my phone with USE THE APPPPPP

On the mobile website

And its annoying

[raw zephyr]

didnt the mobile app have a guest mode? cant remember

[unkempt lake]

Nope

[umbral heron]

Ok then - something like forums or chatrooms, like Discord, where you are socializing with a small group of people you know or share similar interests
Not something like Instagram, where it's 24/7 media bullshit and ads

[rough osprey]

different stuff

[unkempt lake]

Never had a facebook

Or a twitter

Or an instagram

[balmy vector]

Inner peace

[rough osprey]

you follow friends, family, some celebrities and look at memes

[unkempt lake]

Unless you consider a fake twitter i made with a fake email so that when people post twitter links i can ya know open them. Peepee megapoopoo the best twitter account

Its annoying people just post some twitter link and talk about it and im always just like can someone screenshot it for me pls i can't open it

kinda got tired of that so fake email it is

[umbral heron]

I'd rather talk to my friends and family than follow whatever they're doing, if they're doing something cool, I'm very happy to hear it from them, not from the algorithm
And I don't care about celebrities so that's that...

[unkempt lake]

Nico has a facebook but its because all of his family uses facebook messenger

🤮

[rough osprey]

Then its just not for you ig :D

[umbral heron]

I moved my whole family to Signal

[gusty kiln]

Lurkers rise up

[unkempt lake]

Why don't people in europe just... text each other using the default text client

Here no one downloads apps for that crap

They just use the default text client

[rough osprey]

sms used to cost money a while ago

so everyone switched

switching back now would be weird

and ig its also pretty feature limited

[umbral heron]

We do use SMS too, sure, but for video calling and sharing photos an internet communicator is just... way better

[rough osprey]

damn i cant remember the last time i wrote an sms

[wheat plume]

We got RCS now on Google Messages

[unkempt lake]

Data is expensive here

[wheat plume]

Ah...

[unkempt lake]

And sms costs nothing basically

So idk

[rough osprey]

wow

?

[umbral heron]

[empty wren]

Is that perhaps your home Internet plan too?

[steep creek]

that’s your data package?

[umbral heron]

Yup, that's my mobile
No limit on home fiber

[steep creek]

aha i think i have 5 gigs data but probably 20 now due to rollover

but i don’t use more than 1-2 anyways so all good

[rough patrol]

My data plan is way too big for what i use

😭

[sudden imp]

I like how Phanteks new fans have integration with windows dynamic lighting. It appears that they have also changed the connectors to not “violate” Lian li’s patent. I’m not sure if that means Phanteks believes the lawsuit against them is not winnable and they are just cutting losses.

https://youtu.be/uR5N0KenxhE?si=RfzYqqcW_rLypVJ9

this is the worst UI layout ever made wtf

the icons dont even load

Kek, I brought this up a couple months ago

Guess they are rolling it out to the masses now

[marsh pewter]

you're getting A/B tested rn

a few people have gotten this layout a few months ago then it went away

im pretty sure they have a form somewhere so you can share your opinion

[wheat plume]

yeah..it fucking sucks, holy shit

[marsh pewter]

yep

that seems to be a the general consensus

I havent seen one person like it

I think they're trying to make the desktop site look more like the mobile and TV apps

[analog sinew]

it went away cause i hit with ublock custom filters lol

on the other hand, id prefer one of these modern face puppets that follows my voice than pure voice only

[misty saffron]

i wouldn't say it's bad

but it's not good either

it would make much more sense if you just disabled theater mode

[marsh pewter]

thats not really an excuse tho

so what? just screw over the people who use theater mode?

[astral haven]

if it works outside of theater mode, then its fine, they just need to modify it in theater mode

[misty saffron]

"screw people over" is quite extreme for a slight change of layout lol

but no, just keep the old layout for theater mode

[scenic thunder]

they have that on MS teams beta

I use it all the time when i dont feel like turning on my cam for meetings

the mouth movement and facial pickups are eerily well done

Microsoft told media outlets a hacker cannot exfiltrate Copilot+ Recall activity remotely.

[astral haven]

does the generation get done on their end or your end?
if its local then the video is streamed, that would ruin the bandwidth benefits

[misty saffron]

i'm about 99% sure every videocall app will have the visionos facetime puppets very soon

it's a very good concept in theory

[scenic thunder]

Fairly certain it's all local. I can't imagine it's offloading that to the server.

[analog sinew]

ms source : trust me bro

[scenic thunder]

With M$ who knows, that's valuable facial ID data they can harvest lol.

[analog sinew]

that shit will be hacked

[astral haven]

the end goal is to have the receiving device create the puppet, you just send the audio

it would make sense for a beta to have the generation be local

[steep creek]

if its not local i dont want it

[scenic thunder]

the duality of AI mankind

[steep creek]

true

[smoky frigate]

well yeah it's ms 😄

[astral haven]

yea but local where
is it local to you or local to the receiver (aka remote)
I agree that cloud wouldnt be good

[steep creek]

i'd want as much processing as possible to happen on device

[astral haven]

yes, but which device

[steep creek]

my own preferably, so computer or phone or whatever im using

[scenic thunder]

The majority of their beta features require you to allow external data processing anyway, so i wouldn't be surprised. I have co-pilot for powerBI (basically jazzy microsoft excel for data analysts) and until they do the full rollout, you cant get a locally run model.

[astral haven]

but then you arent saving any bandwidth and are still dealing with video compression

[steep creek]

i acknowledge that there may be setbacks but im fine with those in exchange for having it processed on my own dewvice

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle any laptop new yet? Also apparently this dude who has been helping me from a charity to help transition to chair life room his 42" tv and console into rehab so maybe I can take my desktop

[steep creek]

camera quality would be okay ish anyways just to see the persons face i believe

[astral haven]

yea but the whole idea is to limit the insane amount of bandwidth and increase the quality

[ashen spindle]

Intel keynote is tonight

[steep creek]

do you know how much bandwith is used? im abit curious

cant find anything online myself

[astral haven]

128k vs 2m per user

[steep creek]

hmm yea i see your point, but maybe for home use on unrestricted wifi it'd be alright

tho that is quite substantial

[gusty kiln]

So you cannot turn off recall?

[astral haven]

also this is only currently, microsoft reports they can drop the bandwidth via voice down to sub 30k

[pale sigil]

Yes

Install Linux

[gusty kiln]

I would once steamos (aka arch) becomes more mainstream

[steep creek]

yea for sure drawbacks to each approach

[ashen spindle]

You can easily disable it via group policy

Microsoft aren’t stupid enough to screw over business customers that still foot the bill and group policy editing isn’t enterprise only yet

[sudden imp]

NUH UH

that is so not okay

And a violation of privacy

That should be off by default

[astral haven]

in what way is it an invasion of privacy?

what it does do is make it alot easier for hackers to see back in time if they have currently invaded your privacy

[ashen spindle]

its effectively a constantly active keylogger

[steep creek]

id be bit creeped out if it screenshots when i login to the bank or email for example

but im not sure how recall works havent looked into it that much

[astral haven]

sure, but you also have to type the data into windows regardless, and it isnt storing the screenshot, just the text summary that your computer generates from the screenshot

[analog sinew]

oh dw they say it will have your bank data

[astral haven]

except it doesnt get your keystrokes, and again windows already has your keystroke data, this just adds more detail than just "x app and website is open" to the history

[ashen spindle]

it still stores it longer and thus opens more attack vectors, not saying it by default leaks data

[wheat plume]

IT GETS WORSE

large ass gap missing for no reason

[analog sinew]

just ublock that shit already

[wheat plume]

ublock blocks ads, not serverside UI changes....

[analog sinew]

it does with custom filters

[wheat plume]

oo??

[analog sinew]

it can block any layout element

[reef patrol]

inb4 encrypted and garbled ui elements generated on page load.

[astral haven]

sure, question is can you protect against attackers (which tends to be less of a problem on arm since they all support and enable all the security features) and does the data get properly encrypted (which all of the arm platforms so far also support)

[sudden imp]

Windows will have access to my device I paid for???

It provides a huge vulnerability

Hell knows what windows will do with the data

This is literally enshittification

“Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products such as Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Bandcamp, Reddit, Uber, and Unity. The term was used by writer Cory Doctorow in November 2022, and the American Dialect Society selected it as its 2023 Word of the Year.”

they do have the money to plan it with budget from the start is the reason why I do have some faith in the rdna5 idea and how it alligns with console/datacenter

That's using zen c cores right?

[gusty kiln]

I'm only interested in rdna5 for the steam deck

[sudden imp]

especially if it’s forced on me???

Has no one seen terminator???

Like this is a slippery slope

[astral haven]

so dont use it?

[sudden imp]

Is it not forced into the system without being able to be disabled?

[astral haven]

the ai part isnt

the screenshots just collect data so that when you activate the ai it has the info

and both parts are disablable, just on by default

[sudden imp]

I feel like it should be off by default and opt-in

I find it quite intrusive

Atleast we can disable it

[analog sinew]

right now its only on these weird AI laptops anyway

but yeah I dont want that shit near my OS either

[pale sigil]

Agreed

[astral haven]

"intrusive" its the exact feature everyone has been asking voice assistants for for the past decade, and the public has spoken

[analog sinew]

not me

tf uses voice assisstants

that's deranged

[smoky frigate]

Intel cpu go fsssssshhhh

[pale sigil]

Tbh I have never really used voice assistants on my phone.

[sudden imp]

^^^

[pale sigil]

I use Alexa everyday though

[astral haven]

if you are an enthusiast who doesnt want the feature, go for it, but its neither forced on you nor a privacy issue
it can be a security issue

[sudden imp]

That’s the issue

Security can turn into a privacy issue

[astral haven]

no

a privacy issue can only come from a privacy issue

a security issue can make a privacy issue worse

[sudden imp]

I’m just hoping they don’t force it in the future

[umbral heron]

Of course they will
Well that, or AI bubble bursts first

[analog sinew]

dw they will

I don't know what they do with our data but it's the digital gold

[umbral heron]

[astral haven]

unfortunately for many of us, we need to be productive, for the people who have time to tweak and tune their programs into functionality, you can just strip windows of its features...

[rough patrol]

Eh, linux can be productive too

[astral haven]

after you have tweaked and tuned your programs into functionality

you still lost all the time you spent

[smoky frigate]

you do that under windows too, only you're used to do it in windows

[umbral heron]

Yeah, we need to be productive, that's why I ditched Windows in the first place lol
I need my OS to work, not play around security and improvement features of Microsoft

[astral haven]

nah, the IT department does that, we make it so you just press a button and everything is already set up

[umbral heron]

I need to know that if I boot my PC - it boots
There's no update, there's no ad, there's no reminder to update to new version of OS
It needs to just work

people talk shit about Remastered but it's a really solid port

[analog sinew]

ds1 was magical

i found a letsplay of it and really enjoyed it

but I had to stop watching

i was all giddy for ptd

and it was great

[smoky frigate]

I finished 4 versions of the game now, and I'm enough of a simp I'll buy the next edition too

only a question of time before they remake it completely 😛

AI regulation at the government level is needed.

[astral haven]

the regulation wont affect the bubble and it definetly wont affect anything that can run on a pc

[empty wren]

Ai becomes goberment

[umbral heron]

Well of course
EU is cooking something wit AI Act, and it's been seen universally as a good move

Meanwhile US is again smoking pot, making CEOs of corporation members of AI advisory board

[astral haven]

wow its almost like you need a board that isnt just academics

[smoky frigate]

tfw you lost your mpv.conf like an idiot

AAAAAH

[sudden imp]

Yeah that’s

Annoying however they’re more people besides them.

[umbral heron]

Sure - but people from safety, security and superalignment teams, people who actually know and are conscious about risks
Not freaking CEOs

[astral haven]

the ai board is 8/26ths companies 8/26 academics and the rest are nonprofits both pro and against ai

[astral haven]

this is nist not dod

[ashen spindle]

yes it saves what it sees, thats not new at this point

[wheat plume]

I wonder if there is a way to make Windows think an app is DRM content so that Recall cant see it

[analog sinew]

that doesnt make it less creepy

[astral haven]

also the most recent recommendation by the naiac has been to get more funding for the https://www.nist.gov/aisi
and the ai safety institute has dramatically more members than the presidential advisory committee

[analog sinew]

that's sot ypical and telling. DRM? oh noooo . Your banking data? Sure we'll save that

[wheat plume]

literally

[ashen spindle]

thats not telling that's just follwing what they can do legally lol

[wheat plume]

idk how Recall can be legal

maybe cause its not being transferred to their servers?

[ashen spindle]

why would it be illegal

[wheat plume]

well, they claim it isnt

[astral haven]

you dont have to do that, you can just add it to the blacklist

[wheat plume]

ooohh, lets add literally every app to it

[ashen spindle]

no

just disable it

[astral haven]

you can just turn it off?

[wheat plume]

really?!

Microsoft lets you turn off a feature??

wow

[ashen spindle]

it's only been said a couple times in this chat...

[astral haven]

yea its pretty common, microsoft just usually makes it harder than this time

[ashen spindle]

as long as they dont make group policy editing a enterprise only feature which would require a big os rework you can always disable anything

[wheat plume]

ahhh perfect, so safe and secure, all bundled into a nice file for hackers to steal

[ashen spindle]

yeah because the hacker that can access that definitely cant access it himself when you type it in 30 seconds earlier..

[wheat plume]

the time frame can be any length

[ashen spindle]

look I also dont like it but these arent the arguments against it

[wheat plume]

it saves it

it literally saves this shit for whoknows how long

months at a time

a hacker can hack into the computer and retrieve months of data via Recall

[astral haven]

🤷 if they can hack into your computer and steal gb of data, they are just gonna steal your session tokens

which actually would have your passwords, and not just the passwords that you have to type in plaintext for some reason

[gusty kiln]

@ashen spindle markets doesn't seem to be impressed by AMD's road map

[astral haven]

it was already priced in

[ashen spindle]

eh unless something massive happens I wouldnt count on a roadmap impacting market

like they care about strix having design wins which was known and mi300 ramping, they expected to see a roadmap since lisa said so last earnings call and they got one

[umbral heron]

Huh, that's good to know

[ashen spindle]

can factor in future gens scaling harder than currently already

that will be when more contracts become public or sales ramp hard

and if you look at last 5 days nothing really happened

I am more than happy about the roadmap because it fuels my hope for rdna5 xD

[gusty kiln]

Can't wait to see people whine when AMD perfectly falls in line with their Q2 guidance

Happens every earnings

[ashen spindle]

yeah they want to get nvidia 2.0 xD

[gusty kiln]

Cuz it already happened

My sister is an OG amd holder from when it was $2

[ashen spindle]

haha nice

[gusty kiln]

But only a couple hundred shares

At that price

She bought more but obviously higher average now

[ashen spindle]

anyway here is my tinfoil rdna5 theory

they showed this slide right

see how mi400 is not called cdna5 but cdna next?

[gusty kiln]

Imagine expecting another huge rise when it's already over 9900% increase since zen

[gusty kiln]

[ashen spindle]

we know from LLVM patches that future cdna versions are not fully based on cgn anymore but take some rdna parts

and rdna5 is supposed to have some sort of matrix cores that would be perfect for AI and similar HPC

so rdna becomes the one where a high end goes into data center so they put all the resource in and cant afford to cancel it

because its also the console IP

thats why its called cdna next because its a shift and it will ensure they put enough resources and manpower onto it

thats my theory

[gusty kiln]

Interesting

[gentle osprey]

No 9800X cause X3D?

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-hand-out-give-me-orangutan-give-me-hand-out-mine-gif-27199184

Gib 9800X3D

[astral haven]

Means they think they will have more high performance 8 cores later, that isn't x3d

[gentle osprey]

Hmm

[ashen spindle]

no

there is no 7800x

[gentle osprey]

^^

[astral haven]

Not yet, but they are deciding to use the nicest ccds on the 950x

[ashen spindle]

no you misread what I said

there is no zen4 7800x

so there is also no zen5 9800x

[astral haven]

At all?

[gentle osprey]

At all

[astral haven]

Yea that's not gonna last until 2027

[gentle osprey]

[ashen spindle]

I mean idk and dont really care but for now its just because x800 is what they use for x3d

if there is some lower bin 7800x later on who knows

[gentle osprey]

I doubt it

[astral haven]

There isn't now, but extrapolating from 1 generation to a pattern with amd is a fools errand

[ashen spindle]

I'm not saying there isnt one but for release and till 9800x3d there wont be a regular 9800x

[gentle osprey]

Right yeah

[ashen spindle]

sure we just got a 5800xt so we could get a 7800x in a year

but for now we dont

[astral haven]

Yea it would shock me if that weren't true

[ashen spindle]

if zen6 comes out and at the same time 7800x because some contracts needs bins or a new sku, sure, doesnt really matter at that point

[astral haven]

Depends on the price

[ashen spindle]

for the main relevant talking points a placeholder sku for current gen-2 isnt relevant even if cheap

point is simply for now there is no 9800x because for now they are keeping that number for single ccd x3d

[astral haven]

Yes, but it is still using the pedestrian CCDs, and theres plenty of binning room for better CCDs above the 9700x that aren't x3d

[mild dome]

ill upgrade with the 9xxxX3D chip from my 5900X

[astral haven]

TLDR it seems there's no 9800x, 9700x isn't the new name for 9800x

[gusty kiln]

Waiting for the price of the new cpus
