It's in the weird spot to be honest
Everything you could host on this you can also host on RPi

i have been using sony wf 1000xm5 anc earbuds for a few month but then a thought was passed through my brain,
space has absolutely zero noises at all, and that's because space is vacuum...
so why don't we make a vacuum earplugs??

because your head, ears, ear canal (presumeably) arent a vacuum, and do let sound through
and whatever you use to contain the vacuum will also transmit sound

does this board supports pcie 5.0?
ashen spindle
dont waste your money on gen5 ssds
unless you do some heavy computing like idk fluid simulation you wont hit even gen4 speeds
gusty kiln
samsung doesn't even have a pcie5 ssd yet
pcie 5 is just nice to have more overall bandwidth so that you can be divide it up more for all your connected devices
cosmic thunder
dont waste your money on gen5 ssds
isn't it better than buying pcie 4.0 and then buying 5.0 later? you need to upgrade it twice when needed
ashen spindle
no because by the time you would actually have a benefit from 5.0 speeds the drive is dead twice
cosmic thunder
does that mean 5.0 ssds have shorter lifetime?
ashen spindle
actually dont know but no just meant it's going to take a lot of years before thats going to make an difference in a game
ashen spindle
no it's a waste of money lmao
we just now start to get some few games that want to use direct storage and they need an ssd for that
astral haven
the only thing that goes faster is copying files from one ssd to the other, and now you need 2 pcie gen 5 ssds
ashen spindle
the time till you get any benefit from gen5 speeds over gen4 isn't in this decade
cosmic thunder
and i just realized that i have pcie 4 ssd and using it's half performance cuz im using intel 10th gen cpu
astral haven
more than half but sure
ashen spindle
like assuming it's still cheaper and not same cost I'll still be buying gen3 ssds for my next big pc upgrade in 5 years
astral haven
yea you get over double the storage for the same price from 5 to 4
4 to 3 its about the same price
cosmic thunder
alright conclusion:
buy pcie 5.0 ssds only if you need that much performance, or you should stay/buy 4.0
astral haven
except you dont need that much performance
ashen spindle
5 currently also demands more cooling instead of just throwing it on and forgetting it in many cases if you do reach those speeds
unkempt lake
@ashen spindle ended up finding something that i liked better mobo wise
cheaper too
ashen spindle
basically: don't buy pcie gen5 ssds unless you know your professional work can make use of it, because games wont

umbral heron

Userbase of course 
digital cliff
target the 2 users instead of the 98 users I don't really get
fair gull
the idea is to have thousands upon thousands of users with a very limited and clearly defined hardware and software set
and only after that do you expand into more varying setups like windows
and after that you target OSs which can have more than 1 or 2 clearly defined DEs for an OS version.
its basically the same reason why companies like to do electron apps nowadays. its very easy to crossplatform before you start thinking of investing into platform specific builds
old marlin
target the 2 users instead of the 98 users I don't really get
it's easier to market the "browser for devs" to people that bought the "laptop for devs"
even when neither one actually do anything special or new in their class

well in my case i chose macos cause it just works i guess... i have hit no weird windows path issues, linux headers missing for something odd a guide doesnt mention or such

Rust toolchain is pretty painless too tbh
99% cases you can just go cargo build --target and it'll just work
fair gull
cant speak on rust much
but python sucked cause of path issues left and right (and the dumb MS store shit), node multi version sucks on windows unlike macos/unix, php on windows is a pain as well
umbral heron
php is a pain overall, it's like moving from python 2 to python 3, but constantly
And yeah, I remember python issues too 
cosmic thunder
Rust toolchain is pretty painless too tbh
100% agreed
if only there's no compile errors..
umbral heron
At least is nice enough to tell you where you have a problem and point out exactly why 
cosmic thunder
yes that's great
there's an error
compiler tells you what is wrong with my code
fixed the error
another error occurs cuz of the last modification
umbral heron
Most of the fun is still with .as_ref() and .clone()
cosmic thunder
haven't use rust long but one thing i experienced quite a lot is that i dont understand how/why tf this code not working when compile error occurs, but once i get through those errors and then i fully understand the code
umbral heron
I was kinda forced to learn rust at work, I prefer bash and python to be honest
But in the end of the day it's really nice, like illegitimate child of C++ and Java, but with only good things about them

reef patrol
Bring it to a friend who has ethernet and stop stressing over it tonight.
Or plug the dang wifi adaptor into your PC, find the model name and see if you can download a Pi compatible driver for it to a USB drive.

According to lsusb, it's a Netgear a6100 DB wireless adapter
With a realtek rtl8811au chip

Okay so I’m thinking, should I switch my browser from chrome? I use gmail and watch YouTube often. I’m thinking about using ARC or Firefox. I’m just debating if it’s worth doing it at all I use a IPhone and my PC runs windows.

Arc is pretty jank on Windows currently
digital cliff
i dunno why you would if you're happy with what you have

Also
Firefox can import all the shit from Chrome for you
But yeah, why you moving if it works for you so far

was giving it a thought as the sponsored search results have been bothering me lately ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That’s fair
wheat plume
I suggest duckduckgo
digital cliff
imo DDG sucks, it's just bing but with duck logo
Qwant has their own crawlers and is much better in my experience
sudden imp
I’ll give both a shot
wheat plume
I mostly use Duck for the shortcuts they have

Since I already use gmail switching browsers may not do too much then
halcyon moss
I tried want years ago, but then it was terrible and very French focused.

The shortcuts are amazing <3 <3

You can do bangs with chrome too
digital cliff
ever since I switched to qwant I've not had to resort to google for anything but the most intricate searches
sudden imp
You can do bangs with chrome too
What do you mean?
wheat plume
You can do bangs with chrome too
Bangs are a DDG feature, not a browwser feature
they work as long as DDG is the default search engine no matter the browser
loud hemlock
Bangs are a DDG feature, not a browwser feature
They are a feature. Chrome has that feature.
wheat plume
how you use it on Chrome?!
loud hemlock
!something query
Is not a particularly revolutionary concept
You add a custom search engine in the settings
digital cliff
yeah I use something similar through vimium globally on ff
loud hemlock
Why do you assume I'm stupid lol
loud hemlock
You give it a string for a website
wheat plume
cause bangs work in any browser if you set DDG as the custom search engine, it is not a feature of Chrome itself
loud hemlock
Like http://wikipedia.com/search?%s and it replaces the string with whatever you type in
You don't need to rely on ddg for it
wheat plume
wut?
loud hemlock
The only thing ddg does better is privacy I suppose. For actual search it's just bing
sudden imp
If I used Firefox and my search engine was Google then would my experience be no different than on chrome?
digital cliff
probably just worse, honestly
depends on what you're trying to do
everything is fast and smooth and awesome in google eco

Try DukDuckGo or Qwant search engines in Chrome and see they go

yeah if you want to avoid that, need to swap search engine
I dunno what happened to qwant maps though
they used to source apple's maps but last I checked qwant.com/maps just doesn't go anywhere
there's no press release or anything either, they just killed it
I liked it a lot so shame to see it go

just use google and an adblocker so you have the best search engine and no ads

the sponsor links still show

how do i know if i have the manifest v3 version?
ashen spindle
that sounds like internet issue or something more than a general youtube/adblocker issue

To get rid of excess wires?
It just feels excessive, I mean it still seems to not be in a complete phase yet. But two dongles one in front and in the back of the pc seem like a really weird trade off from wires and a hub.
The trade off doesn’t seem that great to me.
It’s like the switch from wired to wireless headphones. Expect the freedom of movement was actually useful in some cases.
latent mural
just dont use rgb 🤔
hasty thunder
uh... the wireless RGB fans of lian li are supposed to be daisy chained to begin with
at the end you'll be fine without a hub to begin with
since each pack of fans from them comes with a connector
sudden imp
I’m going to continue to look into it. It seems nifty I still don’t get the application of it.
hasty thunder

less cable management
you'll understand it when dealing with regular RGB fans
sudden imp
That’ll probably do it.
hasty thunder
i mean at the end you'll have 2 cables per daisy chained fans unlike regular RGB fans where each fan has its own 2-3 cables
sudden imp
Excluding a hub from that equation does seem more like a positive when considering how it’ll uncomplicate the process.
Oh they mentioned making the motherboard the “hub” I actually like that
hasty thunder
that's actually how it is. I had to daisy chain my fans too in order to only have 2 power cables and 2 RGB cables since my motherboard only has 2 D-RGB headers
or was it 3?
don't remember
but cable management was a real pain in the ass
sudden imp
It seemed silly at first but looking into it more I don’t think it’s actually a terrible idea.
Did they say pricing would be similar?
hasty thunder
similar? Ofc not, you're paying a premium

And I had some spares but I broke the goofy rubber mounts
This was before they sold them separately
I emailed support asking to buy them
And they sent me two fans
Fans were like 8 years old at that point

Guys I have some questions about a PC i just bought, thanks in advance 😄
Components:
CPU: I7-14700KF
GPU: RTX 4070 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 12GB
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B760-Plus
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000MHz 32GB (2x16)
Liquid Refrigeration: Corsair iCUE H100x RGB ELITE 240mm
Case: Corsair iCUE 4000D RGB AIRFLOW
Questions:
1- Is it a good motherboard? I went for that one instead of a Z790 or something similar because a friend told me that a Z motherboard is only worth it if you plan on overclocking (which is not my case) and you can save money and still get basically the same performance
2- Is it a good build in general or will it cause some kind of bottleneck? (i went for quality - price; not for the best of the best)

Also intel current gen is cooked, the cpus degrade super quick
I mean you can just run them at the actual intel stock settings or set your voltage yourself
But yeah 14gen's perf is just disapointing regardless
- its a dead platform
It's am5 or nothing until intel actually commits to supporting a socket long term or if their next gen is good at all
Lets hope they can be price competitive next gen? I doubt it but
Competition is good for everyone
I mean when intel was on top and amd sucked shit was stagnant
Same will happen with roles reversed if theres no competition
We only really got improvements because zen got close enough to intel to make them react

new windows rce just dropped?
no PoC code but apparently bad enough to warrant an immediate fix
i also imagine this is an issue since xp due to how the win codebase works

Oh the irony.
I had an update pending - which did not include this one. So I wouldn't have updated for god knows how long if I hadn't manually checked now.
Truly the best OS ever.
fair gull
tbf this kinda stuff can happen on any os
rn its not even known what the exact issue was/is
reef patrol
My point was that I had already a lump of updates queued. It should have done a quick check before installing, or done a followup check afterwards. But it didn't.
It assumed I was up to date, and only noticed the new SECURITY update after I manually checked 😄

My conspiracy theory is they are holding on to some important exploits/bugfixes until win10 has support dropped so they can force everyone to win11 unless they want to be super vulnerable
ashen spindle
no because you can still get extended support if you pay or are in some enterprise tier
and the absolute end for nobody including paid people and all is far out
rough patrol
Yeah make people upgrade or pay
fair gull
makes 0 sense to hold back on fixing them

People are so goddamn stupid, giving out 500 euro to an already millionaire
while the guy giving it prob payed it off with visa

than donating to gamersnexus?
smoky frigate
indirectly they do, GN gets a financial incentive to continue these reports
fair gull
People are so goddamn stupid, giving out 500 euro to an already millionaire
so people shouldnt pay them and thus they should just stop making anything?
the point is showing that these independant reports and investigations are wanted by the community

While I agree in general that not everyone should donate or sub - there are definitely a subset of tech crowd that can afford it and like supporting good content
Like just from the tech side there already tends to be a higher than typical proportion of people in IT or programming fields that pay well and sub/donate to a lot of YouTubers and streamers
ashen spindle
some people spending a lot is how it balances it out keeping it free

In my defense Lana posted something about gaming in tech.
your defense is poor and you should feel bad

Desktop cube? Are we back in the compiz days?

Desktop cube? Are we back in the compiz days?
Plasma desktop has a lot of the old Compiz effects built in :D
like Cube, Wobbly Windows, Genie minimize animation, fall apart when you close a window
🤔
I wonder what the hardware support for this will be like
changing the RBG color on your keyboard to match the OS level accent color

but it doesn't have windows burning up or exploding into 3D pieces

that last one is the falling apart
but no fire one by default ;-;

So many that most people would never encounter this issue???
Also
Plasma is no longer going to read from the .cache folder to load in desktop effects when you activate them

Plasma is no longer going to read from the .cache folder to load in desktop...
Cool they finnaly do it x) Oh many people complain and it was just their HDD
wheat plume
Yep yep
I've even seen people suggest buying a low capacity and cheap SSD and symlink your .cache to it
🤦♀️

I mean the costless solution is to mount it into a tmpfs with systemd creating the directory at startup

they're making enough off of the ads man, hence I called him a millionaire

if it was a one man show maybe lol

feel free to donate, just boggles my mind
fair gull
im almost certain theres more than 1 person and they constantly invest into new equipment to conduct their own tests without needing to rely on third parties
also not like anyone forced em to donate
sort of feels as if you hate people voting with their wallet
sudden imp
To those people they may think of it as an investment that GN could use the money to put into the channel Yk?
Maybe it would have been better to spend it on merch so they got something psychically yeah I agree.
fickle ore
I dont hate anyone. Spend money as you want. It's just stupid usually the people who donate to streamers etc are the poors who would be better off investing it in themselves, but w/e if it brings them happiness. Considering at the same time CC delinquencies are the highest point for more than a decade which indicate people cannot afford it.
fair gull
thats a whole different issue and im almost certain those people have a bad spending habbit even if they dont donate to someone else.
sudden imp
GN most likely will use the money wisely. Hell they may even put in a segment in their HW news on how they are going to spend it.
fair gull
not to mention we dont know if those donators have those financial issues or not. for all we know they are BTC millionaires
sudden imp
They do also have employees to pay.
fair gull
and equipment, and office space, and much more probably
