[weak schooner]

then if money is no concern, 7950x or 9XXX cpus are your only option. if it's only a want, I'd do future you a favor and hold out.

[smoky saddle]

fair enough

i will see

idk i just have a lot of disposable income to the point where i kinda just look for stuff to pour money into

and i can’t find what

the only real peripheral i’ve found to be interchangeable has been audio and mice for me, i don’t think id ever change my monitor keyboard iems etc

[red snow]

buy a finalmouse then 💀💀

[smoky saddle]

so the only real thing to put money into setup wise is my pc

[smoky saddle]

ordered the aceu ulx, waiting for it to deliver

[weak schooner]

buy finalmouse and have to replace it every week due to QC issues is certainly a way to get through disposable income 😂

[smoky saddle]

😭😭😭 honestly the ulx is more of a show mouse to me

i don’t genuinely like using it

i just have it as a collectors piece

so that when people decide to buy them for 500$ for some reason

i’ll sell mine

[whole axle]

Nah the new ulx

W mouse

Minus the colors so far

[smoky saddle]

it’s decent, mediocre imo.

not even a top 10 mouse rn

[whole axle]

I mean performance wise that’s just wrong lol

[smoky saddle]

i’d take a lamzu atlantis over my ulx quite honestly

[whole axle]

I have the Op18k so I can’t complain

But I will be getting the new FM Raw when that comes out

Can’t wait

[smoky saddle]

it has the same internals as a lot of mice on the market, it’s not game changing

[whole axle]

I’ve never understood the appeal with Lamzu

Looks like a super light

[smoky saddle]

feels 1000x better than a base superlight

[whole axle]

I mean it’s kinda hard to really do anything to mice nowadays no? Other than tweaks to firmware

[trail cipher]

I’ve had lamzu and they are good 🙂 not a fan of super light shape though

[smoky saddle]

different shape as well

after i switched to my atlantis i genuinely couldn’t readjust my hand to my superlight

feels awful to me now

it’s way too narrow

[whole axle]

Idk I’ve always wanted a finalmouse. So I’ll have it’s back always

[trail cipher]

Had the starlight phantom and ngl it’s ass for me, makes me cramp and ghost jumps all the time

[whole axle]

Yeah no ULX only for me

Ik FM sucked before

Even the first ULX was ass

[smoky saddle]

i mean besides sensors, not really. you could go out of your way to develop your own, but i mean no company really wants to put the time into that

[whole axle]

But the pro series is good

[lyric hatch]

Whole brand is cringe and their marketing is just lies

[smoky saddle]

razer and logitech are the only brands that i’d say have perfected their own optical sensors

[whole axle]

All I know is after testing FM ULX had like one of the lowest wireless latencies and longest battery life

[smoky saddle]

but they aren’t like miles betyer than other mice

[whole axle]

No they aren’t

That’s true

But hey to each their own. If I’m okay dropping $200 for a placebo effect so be it

I really don’t know what the ULX competition is anyway

[smoky saddle]

i don’t think id say placebo

the proof is kinda in the pudding

[smoky saddle]

currently wlmouse, which i genuinely think is better.

[whole axle]

Ah yeah I mean

I was gonna get the x max

After FM

Or should I just try that now while I wait for the next drop

Cuz my Op18k is good performance wise. Technically the best. But it’s too small

[smoky saddle]

i believe the v3 pro has better performance, i could be wrong

my only thing about the v3 pro is the weight. if we get a signature edition of the v3 pro that’s sub 50g, i’d pay 250 for it

going from a 37g mouse to a 54g mouse is honestly an uncomfortable amount of weight to gain, even though it doesn’t really seem like it

[lyric hatch]

Originally they said ulx would be 29grams

Updated to 31grams

[whole axle]

I can’t do razer

[lyric hatch]

Real weight 34grams

[whole axle]

Cringe brand

[smoky saddle]

great mice, everything else is pretty mediocre

v3 pro is easily the best mouse on the market rn

[whole axle]

That hurts my soul

I just can’t buy Razer. I won’t do it

I’m down to try the beast x max next tho

[smoky saddle]

like even when i switched from my superlight to my atlantis 4k, that 6g difference felt so odd to me

[whole axle]

Or that new dragonfly mouse? I forgot the name but that looks promising

[smoky saddle]

the uhh

the vgn dragonfly ?

[whole axle]

Nah

Like akitsu

[smoky saddle]

ohhh yea

This guy

Gonna wait on reviews but looks cool and promising

[smoky saddle]

honestly man gaming mice just come down to looks now

they all have the same eternals same mediocre software

that’s why the wlmouse is doing so well, the mouse looks amazing

[whole axle]

I think the holes might be too big no?

[smoky saddle]

eh not rlly

you stop noticing them after like a few days

[whole axle]

That’s the problem… uhhh I only care for all black so performance is all I really care for unless it’s razer

[smoky saddle]

at some point you have to give razer their flowers though.

[whole axle]

2% sale. Bro I gotta buy it rn

[whole axle]

I will never after they released the sig edition.

[smoky saddle]

all 3 of the iterations of the viper have easily been 10/10 mice

i do think the viper had an edge over the superlight at the time

[whole axle]

Super light I think is terrible to be fair

Overhyped fr fr

[smoky saddle]

i agree

eternals are great

the sensor is amazing, logitechs optical sensor is 11/10

but god the shape is insufferable

[whole axle]

Wait so what is like the top 3 mice on the market rn

Performance wise

[smoky saddle]

imo

[whole axle]

Like am I gonna regret getting a FM. I’ve been waiting like 8 months to get one 😭

[balmy vector]

finalmeme

[whole axle]

I thought the would’ve redeemed themselves with the ULX

Guess I’m still a sheep 😭

[balmy vector]

never expect them to

[whole axle]

I was gonna get a custom paint job too

Rip my plans

[smoky saddle]

v3 pro, superlight 2, op18k probably

idk

[whole axle]

Super light2???? No way

[smoky saddle]

i have the beast x 8k in my top 5

[whole axle]

The switches are ass

[smoky saddle]

proof is kinda in the pudding, it’s only being outsold by the v3 pro

[balmy vector]

v3 pro is just good

[whole axle]

And it’s only 2k hz no

Or like 4k now

[balmy vector]

1k ftw

[smoky saddle]

amazing

[smoky saddle]

4k, but honestly 8k is not optimal

most people don’t have the eternals to even run 8k at full capacity

nor is it needed

[whole axle]

So my Op18k is just running sub optimal lmaooo

[smoky saddle]

the hero 2 is just objectively better as a sensor than anything else really

[whole axle]

54g is wild on the v3 pro

[smoky saddle]

besides the v3 pro sensor

[balmy vector]

54g is more than ok

[lyric hatch]

Hero 2 is not objectively better then anything

[smoky saddle]

it’s really the optimal range for quality at light weight margins

[balmy vector]

i agree

[whole axle]

So basically. I have to buy Razer

Great

Along with the 50 softwares they make you download

[smoky saddle]

nor is it objectively worse than anything besides the focus pro

[lyric hatch]

If you want the best sensor yes, does it make much of a difference? No

[whole axle]

Is the sensor the most important part

Cuz I thought the 3950 was the goat sensor

Or sum

[smoky saddle]

not better than the focus pro

[whole axle]

Is that on the Razer?

[smoky saddle]

yes

[whole axle]

[gusty kiln]

https://dcs.community/t/goldensound-headphones-com-dcs-an-update/6740

[smoky saddle]

i just feel like it’s very hard to give a real “best mouse” because the market is so saturated with top of the line mice to the point where it’s just like

pick ur poison

[lyric hatch]

Sensor is not what you should be focusing on when picking a mouse

[smoky saddle]

^

[whole axle]

Shape?

[lyric hatch]

Shape always

[smoky saddle]

shape, weight, size, switches are important

[whole axle]

Well see I do palm grip. But the op1 is too small for me

[smoky saddle]

that’s what drew me away from the superlight og, switches are dog awful.

[whole axle]

Even tho I have smaller hands

So idk what shape is best for that

[grave plaza]

@sharp badger
got in touch with the folks from your link. they've been great, and we've landed on this

[smoky saddle]

v3 pro is great for palm grip

[whole axle]

[smoky saddle]

it probably sounds like i’m just a razer advocate but the mouse is just genuinely that good

[whole axle]

I’ve clowned on Razer my entire life

Now I have to buy them

….

[smoky saddle]

by no means is it a competitive game changer

but it’s a great mouse

[whole axle]

I mean if it’s performance wise the best

I want it lmao

[grave plaza]

Finally a mousepad to fit the entire desk.

[smoky saddle]

what’s the point ? i’m not going to knock it bc i’ve never invested in a full desk mouse pad

but i don’t understand the need for it

then again people have other uses for computers

[grave plaza]

need more real estate for my fps hobbies

[smoky saddle]

low sens player ?

[grave plaza]

si si

[smoky saddle]

ahhh more understandable

[grave plaza]

too many losses due to hitting edge of mouse pad

darn rollers

[lyric hatch]

Big mousepad is just nice

[smoky saddle]

i’ve been using my hein for like a year now and i feel like the only thing i’d explore is other artisan mousepads

[lyric hatch]

I ain't even playing tacfps like that anymore but going smaller seems wrong

[smoky saddle]

i wanted to experiment with glass, but i feel like all of ur muscle memory with aiming just flies out of the window with a glass mousepad

[grave plaza]

its a great site, the guy got in touch right away, even hand drew a sketch, we worked together locking in the dimensions, havined the edges stitched. my dimensions landed in the custom side of things, but that's their forte. can even have images placed

[lyric hatch]

There's loads of good mousepads that aren't artisan too, not that artisan aren't great they are but there are others

[smoky saddle]

absolutely i’m not saying artisan is like the best thing on the market

it’s just kinda my comfort pad

like i know i can buy any iteration of artisan pad and probably like it

[lyric hatch]

It is cozy, my zero has kind of been scuffed with the hair issue it has though

[grave plaza]

ARTISAN Zero (Black/XL) [FX-ZR-SF-XL] FX Soft (Japan Import) was my first dabble at the "fancier" mousepads. coming in at $99 it was an awful purchase

its a top notch pad, just too soft for me

[smoky saddle]

honestly while i will say you do pay for quality

[grave plaza]

i can feel myself depress into it sometimes.

[smoky saddle]

i do still believe 100$ is excessive.

[grave plaza]

dont be me. read the back of the box first. its in large red letters fyi

[lyric hatch]

Where is the artisan $100 that's like in monopoly money right

[smoky saddle]

amazon 😭😭

it’s because they’re sourced from japan i believe it covers the import fees and such

not sure how that goes tbh

[grave plaza]

I pulled it out, and started flopping it around and what not, rolling it up etc. feeling it out

then noticed the package

[lyric hatch]

I paid 8200 yen direct from japan

About ~52usd

[grave plaza]

its serving as my tray for my EDC items. ngl looks good

[lyric hatch]

Oh yeah the shidenkai has glass embedded inside the stitching

[grave plaza]

mhm. i learned a lesson that day.

[unkempt lake]

i dont get the mousepad craze

[final flame]

I don't either

[lyric hatch]

Make mouse glide good

[old marlin]

They are in a coating on top of the stitching

Below that coating it was just a hien

[boreal panther]

I did the same and it came within a week to Australia. To think I was gonna buy it for $100 from another website 😭

[lyric hatch]

True also its being discontinued

Well the v2 the v1 was already

[edgy fossil]

cheapest way to make 60he white?

[digital cliff]

paint

a good spray can is about 10€ or less

[fair gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUw3vNcsh6k&t=307s

this video just reminds me of people changing keyboard related registry values but they dont actually understand what those values do

"for better latency" ofc

[umbral heron]

Regedit optimizers were around for years, but regedit aimbot?

[fair gull]

yeah no they all just change values that have nothing to do with anything

the only thing vaguely connecting the edits made to better latency is the name of the registry values nothing else

lol

[crimson wigeon]

Fun

[digital cliff]

it's targeted at 10yo kids so whatever tricks them into thinking it does something means more views and money for you

[umbral heron]

Friendly reminder to turn off "ad measurement" once you've updated Firefox to 128.0 (Settings > Privacy & Security)

[wheat plume]

🤢 co-authored by Facebook

[umbral heron]

I mean Meta did a lot of great open-source projects, be it PyTorch, zstd or folly, and of course React above all
But yeah, I wouldn't trust them with anything that's even remotely related to privacy

[wheat plume]

Just turned it off

hopefully it does turn it off

and is not a fake option like what Microsoft does in Windows

[wheat plume]

what IEMs are these? I like the transparency!

Google Lens just thinks its an hearing aid

[umbral heron]

They look quite similar to KZ EDXs

[fair gull]

im not even sure if those are IEMs

[sharp badger]

Difficult to say could also be custom ones

[fair gull]

isnt IEM typically the entire system for TV/Stage with receivers/senders and such

[wheat plume]

ok

What earphones* are these?! I like the transparency!

there, fixed my question

[wheat plume]

IEM = In Ear Monitors, right?

so monitoring headphones but in in-ear earphone like form

[fair gull]

im not sure if its monitoring or monitors

[umbral heron]

Do you have a higher quality image of this?

[wheat plume]

I do not....

[fair gull]

i imagine this is out of a yt video

so just post the video

[wheat plume]

Unless he zooms in on them in some other video

https://youtu.be/K2lcx1F4H_c

[sharp badger]

https://pro.ultimateears.com/ Something like these

[umbral heron]

Nothing on Discord, Instagram, FB, TikTok or Twitter, also nowhere in his recommendations

I'm 95% sure those are KZs, the shape is almost identical

[old marlin]

I wouldn't buy anything audio from logitech

[old marlin]

almost as if KZ likes a well cloned shape

[sharp badger]

https://pro.ultimateears.com/products/new-ipx-earloop-black-cable Looks like it has that UE middle part

[sharp badger]

Yeah well looking at the video it just seems like it could be those

[wheat plume]

damn, this cable looks like it would outlive humanity

[fair gull]

no no it does not

[sharp badger]

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/KZ-ZSN-Pro-Earphones-Microphone-purple/dp/B07PWWQN4G/ref=sr_1_7 Even e.g. KZ have those cables

[fair gull]

unless those exist as transparent i dont think its those

[umbral heron]

Yeah, EDXs are transparent

[fair gull]

on the website they were black and white

https://kz-audio.com/kz-edx.html

and KZ seems to use their own 2 prong connector

not t2

[sharp badger]

Just look at the Connector on Roomies IEMs and that matches with the UEs

[fair gull]

i can only go by what kz lists on their own website ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp badger]

Even this part

[wheat plume]

guys I aint that interested in finding out, dont have to go analysing every pixel xd

[fair gull]

i would wager its most likely whatever do7 posted

the UE ones from logitech

cable and connector match that one

[wheat plume]

UE is Logitech?! interesting

[fair gull]

owned by them yes

[umbral heron]

And yet here we are for the nth time when Lana found something on YT video and we're trying to identify it

[wheat plume]

yeh xd

[fair gull]

i mean

why do you post and ask

and then say youre not interested in finding out

[reef patrol]

[steep creek]

[wheat plume]

I am interested but not "imma hunt down every pixel of the image tobreakdown all the details" levels of interest

[fair gull]

i mean hunting it down that much would help with 100% making sure but cables, connector and general shape/color look more like the UE ones posted

[umbral heron]

And stalking said person on socials

[reef patrol]

Here's a crazy thought. Ask whoever's wearing the aforementioned item in their comments?

Shocking I know.

[fair gull]

too hard

[wheat plume]

Usually the person posts their equipment list in the video descriptions but not this time

[umbral heron]

You think everything is so easy

[wheat plume]

huh?

[umbral heron]

Not you

[wheat plume]

Youtube lets you reuse video information when you upload one, can pull basically any attribute about your already uploaded videos and auto apply them to the new one, so having the same description or part of it, in every video is not hard to do

bit closer up this time xd

that cable is so worn out, my gosh

[fair gull]

looks like UE7 pros

[wheat plume]

o yeah

[fair gull]

its either those or someone who copied them 1:1

[wheat plume]

copying the internals too would be tricky

[fair gull]

i dont think tricky

[old marlin]

not reaaaaally

has been done before

[fair gull]

they are clear after all so its just some work to match cable colors etc

[wheat plume]

OH...JUST A CASUAL NEARLY 1 GRAND

[old marlin]

I mean the cable have a similar enouhg looking logo to a point where I would assume it is those

[old marlin]

well that is what high end audio costs (and more)

[fair gull]

yeah the cable clip logo, shape, layout of internals and such make me feel like its almost certainly ue7 pros

also roomie will spend tons of money on audio... cause he literally makes a job out of audio

[wheat plume]

damn, these things are gorgeous

[old marlin]

I would not trust UE

[wheat plume]

oh?

[old marlin]

also is that a triple BA

[reef patrol]

Whaaat - A professional musician youtuber has expensive, professional gear? I am SHOCKED yet again.

[wheat plume]

XD

[frozen ingot]

yep in these times where prices of living are higher than ever corpos still expect people to casually spend a grand on headphones

[wheat plume]

Im not shocked by that part, im shocked hes using them for this type of video format XD its like driving a mega expensive sports car just to go to the local store

[fair gull]

these arent everyday headphone or earphones

[umbral heron]

Which... would match certain youtubers

[old marlin]

I mean, why not in this case?

[reef patrol]

Which people who own such gear absolutely... do?

[wheat plume]

putting wear and tear on them for a usecase you can use other not mega pricey earphones for?

[fair gull]

"hes using them for this type of video format" you want him to buy other earphones when he already has proper IEMs for when he sings in vocals?

[old marlin]

they don't get wear and tear from being used regularly

[fair gull]

pretty sure worst case you replace the cable

its available separately

[wheat plume]

I guess 1 grand is nothing to him so eh,fair enough

[fair gull]

the cables only like 100bucks or so

[wheat plume]

that too, replacable cables are always great

[old marlin]

that is a standard feature on like almost any IEM

[wheat plume]

fuck most headphones that do not have removable cables .-.

[old marlin]

it was like the major downside on chus, and those were 18€

[wheat plume]

yeah :D I love them for that

[old marlin]

chu 2s basically were chu 1s but with a replaceable cable

[ashen spindle]

if you have an expensive sports car should you have to buy a second car for shipping if it can fit what you need? doesn't quiet work either

[wheat plume]

I was so tempted to get the Chu 2 because of the price and pandering to my inner weeb xd

[ashen spindle]

not like using IEMs is lowering their duration till they break by months

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I guess so

[old marlin]

don't buy anything because they printed an anime woman on the box

[wheat plume]

LOL

I have some GamerSupps products but funny enough, nothing from them with anime girls on it

their more generic flavors dont have anime weebness applied to them

[frozen ingot]

its actually sad how common this is these days and how well it works

praying on thirsty lonely people are we

[wheat plume]

LOL, basically every anime youtuber is either married or has a partner

[sharp badger]

Bought the Chu 2 to try them out and having the Maxwell and 1More Comfobuds/Sonoflow they're really not used

[wheat plume]

i have these + apple dongle

[trim crane]

Are there any OLEDs that can do something like BFI but without needing 2 frames?

[slim sonnet]

im not super knowledgeable on OLEDs since ive always had a concern about burn in

[trim crane]

same

[slim sonnet]

ive started to look at OLEDs as their tech for avoiding burn in has got better but idk enough to answer your question :/

[shell totem]

All the bfi on oleds rn are trash

[trim crane]

i think they are trash because thebhalf your refresh rate

[shell totem]

There is one to look out for tho in the future

[shell totem]

Yep

[trim crane]

thats my problem

[shell totem]

And dims the brightness even more

[trim crane]

tgey dont do it on the same fricking frame

[shell totem]

Oled already suffers from low brightness, add bfi onto it and it’s even lower

[trim crane]

idk if I can actually say the f word

[shell totem]

Personally, I’d only play story games on my older and have something with ulmb2 for extreme comp

[slim sonnet]

i just raise gamma and vibrance a little if my brightness is noticeably low from ULMB2

[shell totem]

Multiplayer games where you need the motion clarity

[shell totem]

Your brightness from ulmb2 is brighter than most oleds 😭

They get even dimmer

[trim crane]

i just always keep it on because sample and hokd regardless of what I do looks like I have motion blur on

[shell totem]

Blackout curtains and lights off are needed

100% of the time

But I do like the oleds with the glossy panel

[slim sonnet]

@shell totem i put pulse width at like 30

[trim crane]

it looks like what a VA would look like to a casual user

[shell totem]

The QD ones

I was gonna pull the trigger on the aw2725df( 360 hz qd glossy oled) cause it’s on sale on Amazon rn for prime day but babysitting your monitor seems like such a drag

You always have to run a pixel refresh every 4 hours

And you can’t use it for like 8 mins

And you always gotta turn off your monitor when you’re not at your desk

[trim crane]

is it possible that maybe a 360Hz OLED can turn itself on and off 360 times a second instead of doing BFI and losing half of your info?

[shell totem]

And you have to hide your task bar and have a dynamic wallpaper, cause if there’s static images on the screen, it’ll burn in

[trim crane]

or run a black wallpaper

[shell totem]

Yeah or that

[trim crane]

thats what I would do ngl

[slim sonnet]

thats already what i do

the pg27aqn does some weird/annoying stuff when i alt-tab though

[trim crane]

thats DSC and NVIDIA

[slim sonnet]

and with osu specifically if i go from fullscreen to windowed it shuts off my monitor

but only for stable

[trim crane]

Thats my major problem with it

[slim sonnet]

lazer is fine

[trim crane]

because lazer is borderless

borderless doesnt suffer from it

[shell totem]

Well the thing abt oleds BFI, is that there isn’t a blacklight to be strobed, ASUS did as close as to a bfi as they could with their ELMB ( extreme low motion blur) and all that does is give you the same motion clarity at half the refresh rate, so if you have a 480 hz oled, you’d be able to have that motion clarity of 480 hz at 240 hz

[trim crane]

its just traditional fullscreen that does

[trim crane]

wouldnt it still be marginally better for sidescrollers?

[slim sonnet]

so would CBF

[shell totem]

Yeah

[trim crane]

click between frames?

what is cbf

[slim sonnet]

yes

i was making a gd joke

[trim crane]

oh yeah

[slim sonnet]

cause you said you play that

[trim crane]

ngl i love cbf its actually the best mod

makes the game fun

[slim sonnet]

isnt there something similar that got released

[trim crane]

click on frames which is basicallh useless

the game by default snaps to the next frame

which is why inputs just feel laggy all the time

[slim sonnet]

yeah the effect of click on frames would have been more useful in 2.1 from my understanding, correct?

since 2.2 did some changes to input handling?

[trim crane]

maybe because each frame was divinded into quartersteps

[slim sonnet]

i might be misremembering/misunderstanding since i dont actually play

[trim crane]

its cool, but I nod back to the acknowledgement of cbf

🫡

[distant tapir]

My new headphones arrived but I don't have enough money to pick them up.😭

[trim crane]

what why?

why do you need moners to pick them up

[distant tapir]

Import tax etc.

[shell totem]

I’d be mad

@trim crane @slim sonnet so you guys going for an oled?

[trim crane]

probably in 6 years

[slim sonnet]

yeah im still waiting before anymore big purcahses im thinking

[trim crane]

AQN is already goated

[shell totem]

I’m really stuck between keepin my aqn or giving it away and buying an oled

[shell totem]

Nah fr

[shell totem]

I feel you

[slim sonnet]

im thinking next will be a new mouse but i gotta see if the viper v3 pro new shape is ok for me or not. currently i really like the viper v2

[astral haven]

lg cx could, not aware of anything newer

[wheat plume]

Bruh .....
The issue with my headphones only playing on the right earcups is not a problem with the headphones ...
It's a problem with my laptop's headphone jack

Ffs

[distant tapir]

C1 was the last one that had it. RIP.

[astral haven]

pretty sure the c1 was bfi?

c1 could do 10% duty cycle (5x better than bfi)

oh hmm maybe not

ah sad it could only do 25% at 60hz 😦

[wheat plume]

ayoo, the apple dongle works

NVM, the dongle wont work when I have my headphones connected to it but works fine with my earphones

why wont it work with the headphones?!?!

[astral haven]

might have to push harder to get it to click in

[trim crane]

interesting

[wheat plume]

nope.... is all the way in and I hear clicking in the headphones

[astral haven]

double check, ive had the apple dongle be very very difficult to click in on some of my cables

[wheat plume]

is pushing real hard

[astral haven]

strange

[sharp badger]

I've had problems with some dongles not being able to run certain headphones or having waay to low volume with specific phones

[astral haven]

thats a "feature" that does dumb volume limiting

clicking noises are not part of that feature

YTM Desktop doesnt list the AppImage in the Github Releases, but they offer it on the Downloads page on their website, and that button links to the same Github Repo, wtf

O.o wait does MPV natively support MPRIS now on Linux??!!

I just removed the plugin I had to enable that and my media keys still work with it

[steep creek]

how i feel after converting my lab reports from docx to pdf to hand in

[astral haven]

still doesnt on android 😦

[wheat plume]

yeah nvm, same on Linux.... I apparently installed the plugin into two different script folder locations and only removed one of them

I removed both and can confirm MPV still doesnt work with MPRIS natively

[distant tapir]

Apparently the toll on my headphones is wrong. Some guy fucked up somewhere and doubled the toll.

Because in no way does $200 import fee for a $350 product make any sense.

[dreamy jasper]

My PC wont boot and i dont know why

Someone help pls

Im desperate

[pale sigil]

What does it say next to the light?

What mobo?

What have you tried?

[dreamy jasper]

The Red one?

[pale sigil]

I see 55 which is usually a memory issue, try re sitting the ram @dreamy jasper

If that doesn't work then try one stick at a time

[dreamy jasper]

How can i reset the RAM?

Alright

[dreamy jasper]

It says dram_led

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

Re sit as in take it out and put it back in

[misty ibex]

ram has so many problems

i got 2 bsods in one day bc of a ram failure

[dreamy jasper]

I did it and it didnt work

[vagrant pagoda]

Try with one stick

[dreamy jasper]

I Tried didnt work either

I also tried different ones but its the same

[vagrant pagoda]

Did you clear cmos?

[dreamy jasper]

Yes but the same light still shines

[vagrant pagoda]

did anything change before it didnt work?

No

I updated to windows 11 and everything is different

its so weird

[sudden imp]

How do I disable these?

there is still a recommended section in my windows start menu

This damn OS is so annoying

[wheat plume]

You can't
That's valuable Microsoft product advertising space
Cause Microsoft make more money from your data if you use more of their products

[sudden imp]

😭

[wheat plume]

Welcome to the shithole that is Windows

[sudden imp]

Windows 10 was t even this badddd

[wheat plume]

And windows 10 is going forever byebye next year unless you pay 200 dollars for extended support

[ashen spindle]

people still use win7, EOL doesnt mean it suddenly dies on your pc

[wheat plume]

Yeh but it does mean it becomes a massive security risk

[sudden imp]

That is true however I do value security measures.

[ashen spindle]

unless something major gets found on the day after and they dont patch it its not instantly a danger either

This, ''Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more''

[sharp badger]

Setting Windows up isn't really that bad & don't mind W11 there has been a few problems but nothing that hasn't been solved for me thus far, there are some things that Microsoft could stop doing though with all this unnecessary activation of stuff no one wants, Microsoft isn't the only ones doing this though Mozilla had their stuff with the latest update

So dislike the take that something is bad but the thing one uses suddenly does the same can be defended

[wheat plume]

The one good thing about Windows 11 is the modernizing of Task Manager, File Explorer and Notepad
In both the theme and the fact you now have tabs in the latter two

Tabs in File Explorer....should have happened a decade or more ago

[sudden imp]

Yeah since I updated from 10 to 11 I didn’t get the setup menu

[little silo]

nah, i got rid of it.

@wheat plume stop

make sure to turn on : save search history

bro, you play the finals?

guess that means we're best friends now

[sudden imp]

sorry to bug but where do you see it?

when searching the result doesnt show

[sudden imp]

its off but it stills shows, these ads within the home screen of settings.

guess it will still advertise no matter what lol

[vocal otter]

Which is less likely to have a wobble axis: the jade switch or the L45v2?

[sudden imp]

the v2 switches aren't out yet but I would think they potentially less if not the same ammount of wobble

[sudden imp]

yeah I think it will just show me promotions no matter what

[balmy vector]

Ye thats just win11

They give up after a while on the start screen

[sudden imp]

I did buy a prebuilt that had windows 10 and upgraded to 11 don't know if that affects anything. But I am inclined to believe mango is right this truly is the windows experience.

I am curious after windows 10's EOL if linux options become more popularized for pc gaming/general use.

[lyric hatch]

Probably not, people have been saying that since I was a child

[empty wren]

Inb4 some code in one distro breaks a game

[digital cliff]

they won't until linux stops being a fragmented mess of mutually-incompatible libraries

it's up to you really to make the jump to linux for the foreseeable future, it takes time and effort but it isn't unlearnable or something you can't deal with when issues undoubtedly arise

[vocal otter]

razer should just change their name considering how many people misspell it

Do you think SteelSeries will copy Rappy Snappy in the future?

[sharp badger]

Disable the first & more there if you like

[umbral heron]

I wouldn't expect that anytime soon, they barely discovered and added Rapid Trigger, they still have to figure out how to make all switches on the board HE ones

[vocal otter]

I have apex pro mini and apex pro tkl 2019, but when I play with a 0.1 trigger value on the lapit, I get dozens of the same character entered when I press 0.1mm. Is it because the software is garbage? lol

Setting the value to 0.2mm will fix the problem.

Who the fuck's gonna buy this

I paid less than this for my 7800x3d xd

[umbral heron]

So it's not worth waiting for 9xxx, got it

[unkempt lake]

9000 is a meme

[vocal otter]

I bought a 13700k a year ago I'm an idiot

[unkempt lake]

i mean did you already have a 12gen mobo?

[vocal otter]

I didn't know the performance of Ryzen 7000 3d. I also bought an Intel motherboard.

[unkempt lake]

Did you not look up what you were buying

When spending that much money

?_?

[vocal otter]

I had a Ryzen 3300X on my previous PC and was not happy with it so I switched to Intel and found Ryzen to be superior.

[unkempt lake]

Why not bios update... and put a 5800x3d in

[umbral heron]

Well, there is a certain performance difference between Ryzen's X300 and Intel's X700

[vocal otter]

I thought it would be a bottleneck because I was using a 4070ti graphics card.

[unkempt lake]

Huh??????

[vocal otter]

[balmy vector]

I mean you can still get use out of this

[unkempt lake]

I mean... its still good i just struggle to understand why people buy things so impulsively nowadays

No research

Just throw money at it

[balmy vector]

Research is the bestest of friends

[unkempt lake]

Like do people just have that much expandable income?

[vocal otter]

[balmy vector]

Sometimes yes

[unkempt lake]

I make a pretty good salary and i always worry about wasting my money on stuff... makes me anxious even if its cheap

[balmy vector]

same ngl, i always plan everything i purchase ahead of time

[vocal otter]

Intel's latest CPUs are so buggy, I'll upgrade to the latest R9 when I get enough money.

[balmy vector]

getting buyers remorse is one hell of a drug

[unkempt lake]

Just rma your cpu and sell the replacement if it breaks

No point in upgrading if it aint broken

[balmy vector]

Plus those 9000 series launch prices are kinda

[vocal otter]

I haven't encountered any bugs that crash my computer yet, but I'll change it if they start happening more frequently

[unkempt lake]

Nuts

Who is this even aimed at

[balmy vector]

Guess they’re gonna capitalize being the top dog for now

Rich people will buy anyway

[unkempt lake]

Who wants to pay i7/r7 pricing for a 6 core

[balmy vector]

Its an interesting strategy thats for sure

[vocal otter]

Will the 8K of wooting 80 he change dramatically?

[unkempt lake]

Its just a placebo

[unkempt lake]

Well with my upgrade from 9700k to 7800x3d and giving my old 9700k to nico i think we'll be good for a bit lol

[umbral heron]

I'm setting proxmox server on my 3600X, time to play some Minecraft with 500 mods

[unkempt lake]

I mean 9700k + 2080 is still a great rig for him don't think it will struggle with what he plays

[balmy vector]

Yeah i know ill still get use out of my 12600k for a few years, going to use my old 9900k for home server/emulator

Just havent gotten to work on making the 9900k setup

[unkempt lake]

He plays the odd coop game with me snd mostly esports stuff at other times

He's happy with the performance jump in helldivers tho (he had a 9400F before)

[balmy vector]

Itd be my first time going with a linux distro so i still got time to think over what i wanna use for that build

[unkempt lake]

Tmw my brother's gf plays on a craptop with intel hd graphics i offered my brother to let him have a bunch of pc parts i have lying around

[balmy vector]

[unkempt lake]

9400f
1660
500w psu
A 128gb ssd
A cpu cooler
A z390 mobo
32gb of 3600mhz ram

I told him give me 200$ its all yours

He said it was too expensive

-.-

[balmy vector]

So sad

[unkempt lake]

He's moving in with her i was like you can have it be a living room pc and have it be her pc

Game together

i even said i'd assemble it for him install windows and everything but no apparently 200cad is too much for all of this

[umbral heron]

I gave a friend of mine my very old laptop, which I got from my auntie after it broke
It had like 2-core CPU, some 8GB of RAM and it barely worked at all
He was playing League on it for 5 years, it just died 2 years ago

[unkempt lake]

She plays borderlands with him at like 10 fps while my brother is sitting there on his 3080 next to her

[balmy vector]

Id say that laptop had a good life

[unkempt lake]

Like my brother ain't broke making that clear lol

I thought i was being nice to him by offering him all of that for this cheap instead of selling it for way more to some rando

Was i supposed to give him for free am i a bad sister? Lol

200cad didn't seem like much for what i'd have given him

[balmy vector]

200 cad wouldve been a steal for some people i know

[umbral heron]

Certainly, I wasn't expecting it to be working for so long
Like I gave it to him when we're playing League together while pretty drunk, just said "you can keep it, just throw it away when it breaks"

[balmy vector]

[unkempt lake]

So i aint delusional good to know

Lol

Its just my brother being my brother lol

[narrow breach]

WAY LESS than what I would of offer to my siblings tbh, that’s a generous price

[umbral heron]

RAM and GPU would cost that alone, and you get full PC for that...

https://tenor.com/view/brad-pitt-deal-yeah-right-agreed-i-would-make-that-deal-gif-15679299

[balmy vector]

Yeah, its a absolute steal

[unkempt lake]

I mean it's a nice mobo too it's the board i used with my 9700k i just couldn't be assed to switch out thr mobos from my old pc to nico's pc because thry were both z390 anyways

Its a z390 aorus pro wifi and a nice kit of 3600mhz 32gb ram (corsair vengeance pro rgb samsung b die)

Ok it would have been paired with a locked chip but you can still do memory tuning on that

[narrow breach]

like idk, weird that he didnt take that price

[unkempt lake]

just my brother being my brother lol

[narrow breach]

trueee lol

[vocal otter]

[unkempt lake]

i mean he's notoriously cheap lmao

Also he hates when i help him his ego can't take getting help from his older sister lol

[misty matrix]

I mean which AIB model

that good good sapphire brick?

[umbral heron]

Oh
I thought about either ASRock's Phantom Gaming or XFX Speedster
I have now XFX 6700XT Speedster, and I quite like how it looks

[misty matrix]

I see I see

more than fair

I will have to repaste my current one soon

maybe if im feeling frisky I will look into replacing one connector I bunged up while at it

[umbral heron]

I repasted my brother's 1070Ti recently, and it stopped glitching, so I have a bit more time to get some other GPU

[misty matrix]

the argb link one

[misty matrix]

ny xtx is kinda running too hot for my liking, and with my current config it crashes sometimes due to heat

but thats probably also partially related to the fact that my room is like 30+ degrees during the day

MossX64.exe doesn't sound like a Wooting file

[sharp badger]

That's anti-cheat

[sudden imp]

nope, my best theory is that It may take awhile for the settings to "update" and for these things to go away

[crimson wigeon]

Also, try using a local account, that could reduce the amount of ads

[sudden imp]

How? It forced me to sign into my microsoft account.

[crimson wigeon]

Oh if you got tricked into a MS account login, go to accounts -> your info and hit the stop link

Underneath account settings

now it just says "sign in to acess microsoft products" lol

if you are going to open source wootility, cheater will be able to write their custom mapping features for their own advantage
or you don't consider to open source wootility anymore?

[steep creek]

wootility and firmware has always been closed source afaik

[slim zinc]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/8wwtbh/state_of_open_source/

[ashen spindle]

people can do that even with it not being open

[slim zinc]

the answer is from founder

[ashen spindle]

also no at the moment it seems like the SDKs are open and not the firmware itself

[digital cliff]

answer right now is not gonna be open-sourced

[steep creek]

also that post is 6 years old

[slim zinc]

but if reverse engineered, ppl will be able to create their own mapping features without being detected?

[digital cliff]

good luck

[ashen spindle]

technically yes?

[slim zinc]

ppl are reverse engineering the whole games, that wouldn’t be a big problem for them
i guess there are already ppl doing that huh?

[little silo]

Good morning/afternoon gamers. I currently have a 1080p 280hz monitor from Asus, specifically the VG259QM. I was wondering if you recommend that I try to do a trade for an XL2546k, or if there's a monitor out there that I should try to trade for. I can't really hit 280hz consistently in any of the games that I play, so I was wondering what advice you all had for me. Thank you.

[vagrant pagoda]

Having access to the KB firmware isn't going to let you cheay though

So idk why anyone would care

[smoky frigate]

they fired the guy who sent them emails threatening lawsuits and washed their hands, which is certainly the right move. But the Goldensound guy says they never told him what factual details dCS took issue with or what he should change about his review, which this statement implies to be different, claiming that "technical points" were discussed with Goldensound. furthermore, he demanded the dCS Americas guy to make a full apology and didn't follow up on the situation himself? I'm a bit skeptical, shit always rolls downhill.

but if they reach a resolution then who cares

[astral haven]

golden didnt say they "never" he said they didnt until after the lawsuit, and only after quite a bit of back and forth after the lawsuit

[smoky frigate]

that would still not fit into the timeframe

[astral haven]

?

[smoky frigate]

fuck it, I got laundry to make and don't care

[astral haven]

@wheat plume You surely know such stuff, do you know any good AppImage manager? I just have so much of them

[digital cliff]

is appimagelauncher not to your satisfaction?

[unkempt lake]

Interesting, i went for msi for my mobo because im still happy about that one time they gave me a free mobo even if i was 3 months out of warranty lol

[umbral heron]

Will try

[unkempt lake]

But pc part companies rma service really differs based on what country ur in

At least what i like with msi is that they have a canadian repair center, sending shit to the us for repairs sucks

[digital cliff]

I think it installs into .local/share/appimages or something along those lines and it's easy to yeet the ones you don't need anymore from there

doesn't have like a managed uninstall from what I can tell

[wheat plume]

The only AppImage I really use these days is Minecraft Bedrock launcher xd

Do I just put it into the Applications folder and run it from there

[unkempt lake]

Asus is a pain in the ass you have to send your shit to the us and the whole process sucks

Asrock i know one person that had to deal with em... it wasn't a good experience

Hopefully their euro branch is maybe better @umbral heron

I was lucky enough to never have to RMA stuff
And if something broke I more often than not could repair it

RMA goes through the store you bought it here in NZ so you never really have to deal with the manufacturer

[umbral heron]

Same here, 2 years minimum

[steep creek]

saame, i just give it to the store they either give me a new one or same fixed

[slow trench]

Anyone know what screw size i need to screw the pcb to the wooting case?

[umbral heron]

PH1 M2x4

[slow trench]

thank you!

[smoky frigate]

@gusty kiln @astral haven actually, there may not be a resolution: https://forum.headphones.com/t/dcs-response-and-story/23779

[astral haven]

there are the receipts lel

very sus that dcs had zero receipts

[smoky frigate]

yeah shit always rolls downhill, looks like my gut feeling was correct

[slow trench]

trying to decide if i got with Gateron Jade Switch or lekker 45

[sudden imp]

Companies are less inclined to piss of businesses than individuals rmaing

[empty wren]

Could get both in smaller packs

[scenic thunder]

dCS admitted fault like 2 days ago, its linked in the thing you posted.

Now it's just on them to actually follow through with their claims of apologizing to cameron lol

[astral haven]

yea but "this one guy screwed up dont blame the company" doesnt cut it

[scenic thunder]

They also sent him a free dCS Lina, im not sure what more than a public "i was wrong" and thousands of dollars worth of free product the dude said he enjoyed previously would make it worth it. If they actually did fire the marketing manager that took the insane tone in the emails then that's def a positive

[astral haven]

yea but lying about it with zero receipts is awful, and golden has receipts

[scenic thunder]

That's probably why they did a full 180 and apologized + sent him a 10,000$ DAC, or if its the full system 30,000$.

[astral haven]

sure, but doing a 180 after getting publicly flamed is the expected response for an even remotely sane person
but that was not their first response
their first response was this

[scenic thunder]

I already read it, it was pretty obvious that the dude was only listening to his internal team without actually engaging with the issue

Which, with marketing managers that effectively call reviewers children, not surprising lol

[astral haven]

agreed, my point is its indicitive of a more serious problem
now that they have broken trust, they need to act in good faith for quite a while to rebuild trust

[scenic thunder]

They really wont, they sell to a pricepoint high enough that bad optics dont matter. Just take a look at their forum that reads like a fucking audio cult.

[reef patrol]

I'd argue the opposite is true.

Having an expensive product with lower throughput means that optics matter more.

There's fewer potential customers, so you care more about bad PR than a company with a large customer base and lots of low value sales.

See Ferrari and similar luxury/enthusiast brands.

[scenic thunder]

again, go read their forums, they have a cult they buys their $10k dacs that sound the same as many other sub 1k dacs. They're not going to be hurting for money any time soon because they managed to apple themselves into a dedicated fanbase of rich idiots.

There are still people right now attacking the reviewer after the company admitted fault lol

[reef patrol]

👌

[smoky frigate]

yeah I read the forum, it's certainly a clientele

[final flame]

they sent the full system, the main reason why golden likes it is the master clock part of the system

[reef patrol]

Forums aren't worth much in terms of gauging a customer base. If you looked only at this Discord to figure out the average Wooting customer, you'd have a very weirdly and incorrect biased image.

Loud minorities and all that.

[smoky frigate]

hm you think? I like this place cause it's precisely not full of bootlickers

[astral haven]

yes but be aware that reviews can convert people between different audiofoolery companies
also keep in mind they arent appleing, they are actually spending money on expensive things, not putting a nice coat of paint on midrange stuff

[scenic thunder]

And what if you only had to sell a keyboard a week to keep the lights on, when the loud minority can also fully fund your company because you overcharge like fucking mad, it's not hard to cater to dumb rich zealots.

[final flame]

Lamborghini overall sells more cars due to their acceptance for modding and other things

[reef patrol]

Lot of personal bias in that right there. 😄

[frozen ingot]

ferrari is like a caricature of the stuck up snobs club

they fulfill all the stereotypes

[smoky frigate]

real blokes push skaters into the roadside ditch with their used toyota corolla

[final flame]

you underestimate the pure audio enthusiasts
for these absurdly priced products there is a market for 2 types of people, the rich and extreme enthusiasts
the latter will save just to be able to afford it

[frozen ingot]

ferrari is for broke rich people anyways, the real gs go for a koenigsegg

[smoky frigate]

whenever I type the word "swedish" gboard wants to append "meatball"

let's get back to the meat of the discussion: can audiophiles hear faster than the speed of sound?

[frozen ingot]

no they hear slower than other people that's why they need all the expensive equipment

[final flame]

that would mean not hearing anything

[astral haven]

well, i have watched some streams online that were around 30 or 40 seconds delayed, where the subject was a few thousand miles away

[final flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmuDfQ0y8l8

[smoky frigate]

https://dcs.community/t/audiophile-router-for-bartok/3860

perhaps audiophile network equipment would fix that

[astral haven]

yea, my ping to a server around that location is only on the order of 10s of ms, so the 40s of delay must have been from my router definetly

[lyric hatch]

Might have to get the new samsung buds

Guess I'll wait for proper reviews

[gusty nexus]

worst audiophile brand ever because of what they said on a reviewer

[astral haven]

they are definetly not the worst, and now that they have acknowledged their mistake, we should give them some time to attempt to rebuild their reputation

[final flame]

as we've discussed prior

nowhere near the worst, but bad actors tend to make things look bad

[lyric hatch]

Pretty common especially for smaller companies to do shit similar

[astral haven]

yep, takes a hard dose of reality to realize that "wow my friend who ive known for a few years and have dinner with and i hired is actually a mean person"
and it sucks

[steep creek]

cant believe arch is my preferred distro now

[smoky frigate]

it's arduous to set up but runs quite well

[steep creek]

spent a good few hours first time, reinstalled it a couple times now for fun and i can do it a lot quicker

but yeah it runs well once set up, ive been ejoying it a lot

[steep creek]

sadly not fully committed yet, windows 11 is still on my second ssd

[smoky frigate]

what's holdin ya?

[woven laurel]

games?

[steep creek]

some uni software which just is not a good time on anything other than windows

cad programs

[smoky frigate]

making shitposts in photoshop I had to give up for switching, held me on Windows for quite a while

GIMP is not an option, I'd rather staple my dick to a burning log than use gimp

[steep creek]

yea i’ve heard lots of mixed opinions of gimp lol. haven’t bothered to try it really

[woven laurel]

I give up on gimp and instead I borrow calslock for art

[steep creek]

solid idea can bribe cals with some stroopwafels

[final flame]

it's utter shite

[umbral heron]

If you think you can bribe me with food... you're absolutely right

[wheat plume]

Google may allow you to limit smartphone charging to 80%

The Settings Services app that comes with Android 15 Beta 4 has hinted at a new "Charging optimization" feature. When enabled, the phone will only charge to 80%, potentially extending battery lifespan.

The feature will be found under Settings / Battery, but is currently not available to users by default.

[empty wren]

Wow why not mak.it adjustable

[astral haven]

i like the new samsung setting (although I also wish it was adjustable)
it will charge your phone to 100% but it wont keep it there
itll let the battery eventually drain itself down to 95% before allowing it to be charged again (it does draw power but primarily from the wall)

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/dev-reports-that-intels-laptop-cpus-are-also-crashing-several-laptops-have-suffered-similar-crashes-in-testing

[ashen spindle]

only the same place that has all cpus fail so that isn't a sign it's actually affecting laptops since nobody else has these issues so far

also why is this an article now when they already made one when it came out 7 days ago

toms is really going down

[unkempt lake]

https://9to5mac.com/2024/07/18/trump-shooter-android-phone-cellebrite/

[unkempt lake]

True but it seems like that part wasn't in the og article somehow

[ashen spindle]

Because it’s something any reputable journalist shouldn’t write as fact when there is no indication it’s related or even a cpu issue at all

You can’t extract from a few laptops that all laptop chips are affected

[unkempt lake]

Yeah its def blown out of proportion laptop wise

Tbh i just shared it and hadn't really read it till now lol i just wanted to keep it close lol

So i could read it later + i was like maybe wooting tech gang will find it interesting

[celest canyon]

Will I be able to use my wooting kb on my xbox until I'm done building my pc

[unkempt lake]

its a keyboard like any other

So yes

[celest canyon]

Alright thanks just wanted to be sure

[dim urchin]

Kind of stuck on which switch I should get. Stuck between the L60s, Gateron Ks-20s, and Gateron Jades. I'm getting the module. Any advice on this issue?

[boreal panther]

are you after a specific kind of feel/sound the people in #🔧│keyboard_modding can be really helpful, personally i have the WS Dash switches and they are the same as the Jades just recoloured and a bit cheaper and I love them

[fair gull]

[cosmic thunder]

if intel doesn't recover the performance then i'll switch to amd permanently

[fair gull]

so far im personally happy with my red green arcade machine

[umbral heron]

I'm on AMD since my first very own computer, way back in 2004
Before that my auntie had a good ole' Pentium in her PC

[steep creek]

always been on intel & nvidia, next upgrade ill probably get an amd cpu but keep my nvidia card

[dry portal]

radeon for life

my 7900 xtx runs 4k

[umbral heron]

I had Nvidia card once, 1070Ti my brother has now
I didn't like it mostly because I fully switched to Linux back then, and 10-series Vulkan performance is not amazing so to speak...

[frozen ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/burning-money-ha-danny-devito-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-gif-15954739

4K gaming be like

[dry portal]

ill never get a samsung ssd again

it stole power and burnt my board before ):

[fair gull]

i went from a pentium 4 to an amd bulldozer... and then i never used amd again except my first own gpu where i put trust into an r9 270. but after that also flopped i used intel and nvidia for ages

but these new amd cpus are fancy

[dry portal]

true

i want a new threadripper with ai integration

[fair gull]

i still wont go amd gpus though after i struggled getting a newish amd gpu to run properly lol

[steep creek]

in the past i was hesitant to switch to amd, heard from too many friends and family members of their poor experiences, but seems its changed now

for cpus that is, i dont know how their gpus are

[frozen ingot]

went from pentium 1 to a pentium 2 to an amd athlon xp something then pentium d then core 2 quad then core 2 quad again then core i7

[dry portal]

i tried both top tiers

i would go nvidia

never will i go for intel gpus

[steep creek]

maybe if linux was my only os i'd be using an amd gpu, but honestly nvidia has been great for me over there as well

[fair gull]

for intel it prob depends on how much they keep investing

[dry portal]

intel cpu i mean

oops

[umbral heron]

Nyah, nowadays Nvidia works beautifully on Linux
10-series and older are still wonky

[dry portal]

you know what i wish amd released?

[fair gull]

a coffee machine

[dry portal]

close

[steep creek]

yeah seems so, i upgraded not that long ago to 40-series, been solid

[umbral heron]

That'd be genius cooling solution for 14900k
Cools your CPU and brews you a coffee at the same time

[dry portal]

i wish amd released that prototype pc case

amd quantum

it was also in deus ex

[fair gull]

and by the time the cpu breaks its gross and crusted over anyway and needs a replacement

2stones with 1 bird

[umbral heron]

Speaking of case
Seems like I'm back to good old cardboard for server made from innards of my current PC before upgrade

[dry portal]

i want to build my next pc in the

[fair gull]

that looks fugly

[dry portal]

i’ve always loved the look of the omen logo

and their cases

i’ve heard alot of good things about that cryo chamber case

[umbral heron]

HP

[fair gull]

it just looks like it comes preloaded with garbage ontop of the case... i can put crap on my case myself. dont need the manufacturer to do it for me

[steep creek]

lol

[dry portal]

i saw people using wood cases

idk how people trust that

[steep creek]

i just have a define r5 case, had it since i was a teenager still holding up great

[old marlin]

too bad coffee isn't well suited to the pizza out of your intel oven

[old marlin]

⬛

[dry portal]

yes the white diamond

[old marlin]

people lived in wood houses for thousands of years

[fair gull]

i only ever worked on 1 omen pc... and it was pain

[umbral heron]

Mmmm... 10nm++++++++++++++++ crust
