GNOME Devs do not add anything unless they have a flawless (to them) way of implementing it

[pastel nacelle]

ima save this

[steep creek]

kde in one year probably adds more than gnome does in 10

[wheat plume]

FACTS

[pastel nacelle]

I wonder how manafacturers make CanBUS work.

[tidal basin]

They perform magic that no one else can, cause they produce the hardware 😉

[wheat plume]

Would it be ok to do the install process for Bazzite while the Deck is docked? or should I do it on the handheld directly?

[pastel nacelle]

Was talking to haltech and they were telling me if I wanted tuning support I had to translate all the communication pulses.

[tidal basin]

İ think its actually smart to do it while docked so it doesnt deplete the charge

but.... i dont have any deck so...

[wheat plume]

and I think my mouse will work in the BIOS too because the OS technically sees it as wired, cause of the dongle

that being said, Plasma desktop sees it as wireless....

[pastel nacelle]

how long u guys spend on linux os making stuff work O.o?

[tidal basin]

That kind of questions is best to ask in the Bazzite discord... there are more ppl their with your harware etc

[wheat plume]

We arent making stuff work, im just transfering my shit to a HDD xd

[rigid adder]

is it a problem if i write something unrelated to tech

[wheat plume]

is this channel, sort of xd

[ashen spindle]

put it in the channel it makes the most sense

[tidal basin]

i used to take a long time after each install, untill Bazite 🤣
Now most things are already setup and ready to use

Especially Lutris for gaming

[wheat plume]

The cancell button being next to the expand button is AGONY

I accidently stopped the transfer of Overwatch because I misclicked

[pastel nacelle]

lol

I have ptsd of that in gacha games

[tidal basin]

try RSYNC.... it will just continue where it left over..

[wheat plume]

so does dolphin if you tell it skip anything already in the folder

[unkempt lake]

@wheat plume i feel like you spend more time fucking around with linux than actually using your steam deck sometimes

[wheat plume]

Nah xd

[pastel nacelle]

Upgrade Material + Cash Shop + Munnie

manually had to add it in

[unkempt lake]

you sure about that one chief?

[wheat plume]

yep xd

[pastel nacelle]

accidentally destroy a $300 piece of armor

[unkempt lake]

You post at least once a day about a random linux issue

[wheat plume]

I spend most time on the Deck in desktop mode

issue?

such as??

[ashen spindle]

well you see half of those are linux issues from some random youtube video so its not one she has herself on the deck

[tidal basin]

Nothing wrong with trying to learn new stuff 😉

[wheat plume]

^ also this

[pastel nacelle]

I have very little knowledge about Linux OS.

[unkempt lake]

thank god

[pastel nacelle]

I'm learning :D

[tidal basin]

i only have like 40+ years of experience lol

[wheat plume]

Luckily, I havent had much issues on Linux, its relatively pain free in my experience, especially compared to the amount of issues I had on Windows

[unkempt lake]

because if it had been from her shit i'd be like the fuck are you doing to your poor linux install

[wheat plume]

ooor?

oh xd

[pastel nacelle]

(I'm not I'm just being nosy and curious; I'm also watching anime. I just think what you guys are doing is neat)

[tidal basin]

curiosity for knowledge is a bless some ppl never will taste

[pastel nacelle]

learning tastes like pennies

[tidal basin]

like copper? 🤣

[fickle ore]

nickel and dime

[tidal basin]

eeewww...electolite

[pastel nacelle]

Like when I study a recall procedure. My brain feels fuzzy and it makes the air smell/taste different.

[tidal basin]

for me it tastes better as a chocolate cake with cherry on top with icecream 😄

[pastel nacelle]

I have tasted coins and batteries in my youth.

i may have also eating a watch battery or few at some point.

[tidal basin]

i have also, thats why the eew

[halcyon moss]

Wtf

[wheat plume]

.....

how are you not dead?

[pastel nacelle]

IDK I was 9

[wheat plume]

😅

[tidal basin]

for those that never tasted a batery: wet your finger and hold a battary, then taste the tip of the battery with your tongue

[pastel nacelle]

although i do have a umbilical hernia

that i am now concious about since my MRI

[wheat plume]

a wat

[pastel nacelle]

no idea what it mean

[fickle ore]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-presidential-debate-huh-confused-gif-16704157274113773062

[wheat plume]

...why did I use dd?! I have the Etcher appimage

ffs

[tidal basin]

go left joe...err biden

[fickle ore]

weekends are boring

no tech news or stock news

[tidal basin]

sure there is

NEWS FLASH: There is NO NEWS 🤣

[fickle ore]

there should be no weekends just 24/7 grind

[tidal basin]

There should be only fridays...

[halcyon moss]

Friday afternoons

[fickle ore]

I guess if u work for govt

[tidal basin]

Fridays aree good for all

[fickle ore]

in private friday afternoons are worst for me, always gotta finish up shit and get to leave at 17:00 pm

[tidal basin]

İf you work acoarding to your planning, you dont need to hurry on fridays

The prospect of a weekend after the day (Fridays) is what makes it a nice day for most

[wheat plume]

Oh WTF

Xhci is default setting though? I think

[tidal basin]

LMAO, did you write the iso to your DECK?
İtis just to install the OS, its not a live USB

[wheat plume]

I wrote it to USD drive
Then gonna boot from USB
And install to decks ssd

[tidal basin]

ahh ok

isnt that screen from the image download webpage?

[wheat plume]

That's what I do for any OS I install

[wheat plume]

Yeh
I remembered they had some warning so I took a photo so I remember to check in bios if this setting is enabled properly

[tidal basin]

ahh ok

so whats the issue now then

[wheat plume]

Nothing

[tidal basin]

👍

[wheat plume]

Gonna plug the USB drive into the dock and boot from it
Hopefully dd did it's job correctly

[tidal basin]

did you do a sha check of the iso you downloaded?

[wheat plume]

No

Maybe I should

[tidal basin]

always check downloads for errors before writing them to usb

they dont provide the shasums for nothing 😉

[halcyon moss]

Can't believe http doesnt have that built in by now

[tidal basin]

it has todo with the internet connection

[halcyon moss]

Then again, getting chunk errors with tls is harder than without

[tidal basin]

there are so many layers of error checks when you use the internet...and they all are needed so lol

[wheat plume]

How long does he check take??.

[halcyon moss]

It has to read the whole file

[tidal basin]

as long ass it would take to read your iso from the usb

[wheat plume]

Oh
Welp
It's 8gb

[tidal basin]

reading is faster as writing...dun worry

[halcyon moss]

Some usb sticks are atrociously slow though.. Especially the freebies

[tidal basin]

but...you need to check the İSO file not your USB...

oflag=sync should take care of write errors

plus...İİRC, you should be able to media check after booting from the USB also

its a boot option i think

[wheat plume]

ayoooo

Dolphin is best file manager...

[tidal basin]

i normally use shasum -c SHASUMFİLE

[halcyon moss]

That's pretty cool. Such a convenient nerd thing

[tidal basin]

its Linux comand line commands 😉

oh wait you mean what he used in dolphin lol

[halcyon moss]

She *

[wheat plume]

Steam deck bios

[tidal basin]

he she...we all IT on internet 😛

DELETE your post...it contains your serial

[wheat plume]

Oops

[tidal basin]

👍

[wheat plume]

This looks right

[tidal basin]

Keep in mind i cant help in detail as i dont have any deck

i can just help in general

[balmy vector]

Oh? Whats going on here

[wheat plume]

Aha!

[tidal basin]

am still a newb with bazzite also..

[wheat plume]

Perfect

[tidal basin]

ahh see the media check i mentioned?

[balmy vector]

Ah lana activities, always fun to watch

[wheat plume]

Oh gosh
The deck screen is also enabled
And sideways...

[tidal basin]

yea that will correct afterwards İİRC

[wheat plume]

Oh this sucks.... The installer showed up on the Deck display
Not my monitor

Damn it

[tidal basin]

after the correct drivers are used

your system will need to reboot after the install...

[wheat plume]

The installer is orientated right
Just on the Deck screen and not my monitor

[tidal basin]

İİRC that will fix itself after you boot from the installed version...

if not: Bazzite discord for the rescue...

there are plenty there with the deck

even the maintainer if im right

[wheat plume]

My monitor does have the standard gnome grey background color currently

So the deck does know it's connected

Just the deck is probably set as the primary display currently

[tidal basin]

just try to continue and finish the install

then check after a fresh boot from it

[wheat plume]

It won't be a problem
Linux is well able to handle multiple monitors

God
I wish I had brightness control

[tidal basin]

The install process checks for available hardware to install correct drivers...

[wheat plume]

Yeh
It's all good

I configured my hostname and made a user account
And told it to install to the entire deck SSD
Reclaiming the space already taken by SteamOS

[tidal basin]

lol at all those screenshots...might as well do a live video session 🤣

[wheat plume]

Xd

This won't cause burn in on my deck???
Having the deck at full brightness on a mostly white screen?

[ashen spindle]

lana oled doesnt break after a few minutes...

[wheat plume]

It's gonna be at least 15 minutes for install

[final flame]

it won't happen over 15 minutes

[wheat plume]

Ook...

[final flame]

it more takes days on days

[pastel nacelle]

steam deck doesnt have brightness options?

[wheat plume]

It does

[pastel nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/dvd-old-funny-cool-colors-gif-19220202

[pale sigil]

It does

[wheat plume]

But not in the live session where I currently am

[pastel nacelle]

screen saver :3

[tidal basin]

İmagine installing MS.... with its screens...

[wheat plume]

Yeh.... Lol no

2 hours on the oobe screens

[tidal basin]

🤣

[wheat plume]

I was correct in assuming my mouse would work on the bios

[tidal basin]

all well behaving USB devices should work... they all HİD devices for the BİOS..

[final flame]

damn, that sure is a color option

[ashen spindle]

why would it not work, you are installing a different os not a different board firmware

[wheat plume]

Cause wireless mice typically don't work on the BIOS

[final flame]

mine does

[ashen spindle]

first I heard of that

[wheat plume]

Yours uses a dongle?
That's why it works

[tidal basin]

Only BlueTooth devices should have problems cause they need to be paired first..

[final flame]

well ofc, why wouldn't you use a dongle, bt sucks

[wheat plume]

Facts

I don't have a choice either my mouse or controller
They don't have bt

[pale sigil]

Bluetooth is sooooooo bad

[wheat plume]

I'm ok with that though

Install done
Rebooting now

[tidal basin]

super

[wheat plume]

Kargs?

[pale sigil]

New distro of the month?

[tidal basin]

install Discord also... and chat via bazzite to show it works 😄

[wheat plume]

Ofc imma install discord :')
I had that on SteamOS too

[tidal basin]

first setup takes a little while its normal

[wheat plume]

Gonna run the updates first though

And connect to WiFi....

[tidal basin]

also need to run software update and download like 3GB for latest version...and reboot again

in your favorites app menu

[pale sigil]

Oh so you are installing a new distro

[pale sigil]

Sounds about right for you

[tidal basin]

thats a script that will run in a terminal...and update all thats needed

[wheat plume]

Definitely enabling this

I want my udev rules right out the box xd

[tidal basin]

(s)he is installing bazzite

[pale sigil]

That's built into the os?

[wheat plume]

Yep

[pale sigil]

That's awesome!

[final flame]

I hate rgb stuff, it never works for me
I tried so hard to get aurora to work but it just refused to

[wheat plume]

Oh
This comsd with GSconnect pre-installed
Hell yeah

[tidal basin]

those are extra software that will be overlayed on the base image

[pale sigil]

Ye but it's part of the install I'm guessing

[wheat plume]

This is the initial setup after install

[pale sigil]

Ye

That's what I mean, pretty dope.

[tidal basin]

its the "customisation" step...

As you see Bazzite is an immutable OS but still able to be customised 😉

[wheat plume]

Oh I can install prism launcher 💜

[tidal basin]

Just try and when not happy just reinstall 🤣

[wheat plume]

I forgot to log out of my Microsoft account on prism launcher in SteamOS ffs

[tidal basin]

Dun worry...your login has gone if you have overwritten your steamOS

or at least its not active untill you login in bazzite also

[wheat plume]

Ooooo
This supports VRR on the desktop
YAY!!!!

SteamOS only had it on game mode

[tidal basin]

i keep hearing YAY hahaha

[wheat plume]

Bazzite is best so far
Though the install is taking ages

For the apps I selected

[tidal basin]

You will like it more and more after use...

[wheat plume]

My Wi-Fi is super slow

They have a half-life 2 wallpaper pre-installed LOL
I'm using this xd

[tidal basin]

uhmmm wifi...yea that could be a problem due to drivers provided by intel i guess

fckn intel with their halfass drivers

[wheat plume]

No
My Wi-Fi is mega slow cause I'm running from phone hotspot

[tidal basin]

ahh ok

[wheat plume]

It's always slow cause mobile data

[tidal basin]

my wifi chip is İntel and it has disabled 6GHz band...

[rare prism]

does anyone know how to fix my mechanical keyboard switches feeling "mushy" and not as tactile anymore?

i have red cherry mxes if that helps

[ashen spindle]

#🔧│keyboard_modding can probably help you out

[wheat plume]

...I accidently enabled to install all the browsers

[rare prism]

thats for wooting related products though

[tidal basin]

maybe put some jellyboms on them hahaha

[rare prism]

80he is unfortunately delayed as hell xD

[wheat plume]

VRR 💜💜

[rare prism]

what are jellyboms

[tidal basin]

needs some ice in my water, brb

[steep creek]

honestly i thought it wouldnt happen but im starting to like kde more than gnome

[tidal basin]

gummy sugar candies

[wheat plume]

I like the elegance of gnome
And the dynamic workspaces

[rare prism]

[wheat plume]

Better workflow imo

[steep creek]

yeah true gnome looks great

for laptops its fantastic

[tidal basin]

https://tenor.com/68Ft.gif

[wheat plume]

And for touchscreen devices gnome is wonderful too
Full touchscreen gesture support 💜

[tidal basin]

im using KDE on bazzite

[wheat plume]

Fair enough

[tidal basin]

almost there...
then do the software update as i told via the app menu...in favorites

[wheat plume]

From here?

[tidal basin]

your menu might look different yea

i have this icon: #🔌│tech message

[wheat plume]

Was wondering why the Overview looked different
They have Blur My Shell enabled and the Search Box hidden

[tidal basin]

you use Gnome desktop, i use KDE

[wheat plume]

What is that smaller window? Firefox pip?

Bazzite Portal?

[tidal basin]

yes Live TV via webpage in firefox PİP

[tidal basin]

That is the initial customisation app...only need to run that once. (after intall which you already did)

The software update i mentioned will open a terminal with a script to run inside to update all needed software

[wheat plume]

Yup
Doing that now

[tidal basin]

👍

[wheat plume]

Reboot time

[tidal basin]

İF im right auto updates are enabled by default so you will be downloading a lot in background sometimes without doing anything your self.
İ disable that and run the software update manually when i want self...

[wheat plume]

Will it boot to game mode now?

[tidal basin]

no idea just check to see

[wheat plume]

I just got jumpscared by the startup sound.... LOL

[tidal basin]

i use desktop mode only on my PC... no deck or gamemode

[tidal basin]

nice sound?

[wheat plume]

Nice
But loud

[tidal basin]

hahaha

can tweak that in settings i think... system sounds volume somewhere

[wheat plume]

I didn't expect a boot up sound :')
The only distro I used that had that was DeepinOS

And windows 11....

It's on the bazzite logo screen
Idk what it's doing

[tidal basin]

all have it but not enabled by default you need to configure it yourself.
They just did that also for you 😛

[wheat plume]

:')

[tidal basin]

mosdt likely its applying the update

bazzitge updates at bootup...

[wheat plume]

Aha
Got to steam deck setup

And suddenly rebooting

[tidal basin]

Because of the immutable version it needs to update at boot, you can download the update but the actual update is only at reboot

[wheat plume]

Yeh
Fedora Workstation does that too!

Oh
That's interesting
Installing Bazzite preserved my Vram settings

[tidal basin]

Just incase it will be usefull for you or others here using Linux...
Heres someting i put up...
https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3669472

[wheat plume]

But that's the internal SSD

????

[tidal basin]

most likely yes

isnt that where you installed bazzite to?

[wheat plume]

Yeh

Why's it showing up twice in the storage settings?

Internal Drive is also the SSD

[tidal basin]

🤷‍♀️ Thats steam...

[wheat plume]

Steam is being wack...

I can't format that cause that'll be bad... Xd

[tidal basin]

İMHO steam is like a 2nd MS... sometimes

bad coding all over...but nice for gaming 🤣

[wheat plume]

Xd

So just try to ignore this?

My OCD is going crazy though

[tidal basin]

yea why not, dont have any other choice lol

[wheat plume]

True...

I'm curious what would happen if I told it to format the drive ....
But I don't wanna do a reinstall now
Too tired
I want bed

[tidal basin]

PS: Lately...last few years im purely gaming using Lutris...

[wheat plume]

I haven't used Lutris much tbh

All the games I play are on steam

[tidal basin]

np

[wheat plume]

Last time I used it was two years ago or so
Confusing AF UI

Hopefully it's better now

[tidal basin]

you need to get used to using it i guess

[wheat plume]

Thank fuck I backed up my options file for Minecraft

[tidal basin]

Anyhow...go sleep...then tomorrow when you wake up...start your download for a game and try out

0:30 in night also here

[wheat plume]

I don't need to download

[tidal basin]

lets hope 🤭

晚安我也要睡觉了... 🖖

[wheat plume]

I'm listening to the distance soundtrack while the games update

Why can't I select steam Linux Runtime 3 for my games??
Only version 1 is available despite 3 being downloaded also

Game mode is a lot smoother on Bazzite

O.o
They removed the Updates tab from Gnome Software

Pro Tip

To change the volume step in Gnome, you disable Default Value and can enter whatever you want inside this page in Dconf Editor

[smoky frigate]

I installed windows 11 LTSC preview and it's pretty good

[balmy vector]

Oh they made it?

[smoky frigate]

yeah you can get a preview iso pretty much anywhere

[balmy vector]

Huh, didnt know

[smoky frigate]

I never used regular 11 but this is actually nice. though it feels more like a linux desktop than it does windows 😛

you can actually find stuff now and it's not apocryphally hidden like in 10

[balmy vector]

Ok, that sounds pretty nice compared to base 11

[smoky frigate]

yeah I can see myself using this for a while actually

[balmy vector]

Guess when i swap to amd soon ill grab that iso

[wheat plume]

TIL muse dash doesnt like being played on a VRR enabled display, it gets stuttery.... xd

[pastel nacelle]

wut

[balmy vector]

With uncapped fps?

[wheat plume]

yeh

[ashen spindle]

How many frames do you get

[wheat plume]

not sure, forgot to enable the FPS counter in steam

Right???
SteamOS is Arch based
It shouldn't be as outdated as it is

Ok
Secure Boot enrollment
That's very nice
A lot of distros don't do this

[stable sedge]

what kind of stabs are in my 60he? i don't have the new plate that they released a while back

[lyric hatch]

Plate mounted most likely unless you got the 60he+ module

[wheat plume]

I like distrobox

Isn't yt Music desktop meant to block ads?

[stable sedge]

i didn't hence why i mentioned that i didn't have the new plate

thanks!

[sudden imp]

Im curious did artisan upgrade their mousepad weave materials to the new dust resistant weave? I remember seeing boardzy mentioning they were going to do that. I’m not sure if it has happened yet though.

All of them?

I’m uncertain on exactly what he meant

It could of just been the zero soft

I think it was because he was talking about the zero pad

[little silo]

Tech boys and germs, I need help with my NVMe's

I want my C: Drive to be my D: Drive

How can I go about doing this

[digital cliff]

press windows key, type in diskmgmt.msc, hit enter, right click your disk there, change the letter

[sage oriole]

hey y'all, I am looking to upgrade my mouse to the Razer Viper v3 Pro but its quite pricey and I'm not totally sure i need it. I currently am using a Pwnage Ultra custom Symm 2 and like the mouse but it is 73g compared to the razers 53g. What do you think I should do?

[little silo]

save money

[sudden imp]

Looking into it, I think he mentioned in a video awhile ago that artisan was implementing something that was going to help with their pads spill/dust resistance. I think he mentioned a new material? He said his boardzy pad or what not will be using it.

[trim crane]

you can use mangohud tho right

[digital cliff]

keep your working mouse until it breaks

[tidal basin]

i dont think the deck supports SecureBoot, i might be wrong though...

good moaning all nerds here 🖖 ☕ 🍵

[round pumice]

hello, is there an option in the wooting software to test the key travel of every key?

because in the "racing" mode the F bar only travels the half way when I press the the CTRL key. So I want to check if that is only a profile setting or the switch is broken or needs to be calibrated.

[tidal basin]

i personally have no idea still need to get mine...

but imho it most likely is a profile setting thng

[round pumice]

I want to verify that before the warranty/return policy runs out.

[nimble canopy]

There is a rgb effect that can show you

[round pumice]

that one I described above?

[nimble canopy]

Yes

[round pumice]

Ok, and if that indicates only a half travel, the switch is broken?

but why don't they include a diagonstic screen for that?

[steady sail]

Make a post in #1019755933959733258

[round pumice]

okay thanks

[tidal basin]

@round pumice logically thinking:
The keys on the wooting are analog switches so thery either function or not at all, they are not like normal switches that do on/off...

[nimble canopy]

If switches are not fully functional its mostly just bad calibration just re plugin the keyboard fixes it

[round pumice]

I reseated the switch, it gets now the full travel now

[fair gull]

LTT twitter got hacked https://twitter.com/linusgsebastian/status/1822776600632709206

Linus LinusMediaGroup (@linusgsebastian) on X

BEWARE The main LTT Twitter account has been hijacked.

4 minutes after I received this email I tried to log in, but the password had already been changed. By the time I could update the password, the 2FA had been deactivated/reactivated.

I have contacted Twitter support.

Twitter · Aug 11, 2024, 11:26 PM

[round pumice]

again?

[fair gull]

roughly 9hrs ago yes

[round pumice]

but thats not the first time that guy/team got such an incident

[fair gull]

correct

[reef patrol]

I mean... at least it's Twitter. Not like whatever they post can be worse than what Twitter has on a daily basis.

[round pumice]

they should attend some security classes

[fair gull]

well there is active scams being posted and removed constantly to avoid annotations from the community

[round pumice]

to get more resilient against spear fishing and such stuff

[fair gull]

id imagine this was some tokenstealer

given theres 2fa on twitter

and me hoping theyd not fall for spear fishing

[round pumice]

yes but how did they get to the tokens?

xss?

[fair gull]

someone ran some exe or such on a pc where twitter was logged in

[reef patrol]

I'm sure they're doing a video on the how and why soon enough.

[fair gull]

theres no real info on what happened so its all speculation

[reef patrol]

Can't pass up an opportunity for content and admoney

[round pumice]

as such a big target they should use linux or bsd for the online stuff

[latent mural]

Why am I not surprised?

[fair gull]

because they are tech youtubers not security researchers

[reef patrol]

Even security researchers can fail - because you ultimately cannot built an entire company on one kind of person.

The challenge is walling up access to things where there's a risk - human error 😄

[wheat plume]

Yes
But I was in desktop mode and idk how to use mangohud manually xd

[wheat plume]

Not sure!

[latent mural]

Incompetent ones at that

you can surely be fooled once, that's normal for anybody. Being fooled twice may raise a question...but if third time, well, you're just bad at tech then

[fair gull]

it does

[reef patrol]

Maybe keep the pitchforks stashed till they have an actual update out on the matter?

It's... it's not even early morning in the Americas.

[wheat plume]

Ah
Should I enable it?

https://youtu.be/Yy_bZhKAUgc

[reef patrol]

(I hope so - Because the alternative is worse)

[wheat plume]

Hmm?

[reef patrol]

You can accept cookies and block them.
If this is ruled illegal, then companies will have to either spend even more resources on making ads unblockable to make money from ad revenue - or outright paywall the website.

[wheat plume]

Hmm....

[round pumice]

Or accept and discard them asap

[ashen spindle]

that is what mansen talked about...

[wild coyote]

No more freedom on the internet ig

All this for their paychecks

[ashen spindle]

do you want people to host websites for free out of their pocket?

[marsh glade]

Why in tarnation does your server nickname include your email address?

[wild coyote]

I'd use my 1 MB upload speed to host it for free

I have a computer, I've got many ways to do it.

[ashen spindle]

so your electricity and upload is free? as well as the cost to properly maintain the hosting so you dont turn it into a pc thats becoming part of a botnet etc.?

[wild coyote]

Crazy how you wouldn't think that power efficiency isn't a thing

And my internet costs 1 euro

[ashen spindle]

efficent isn't the same as free

[wild coyote]

Efficient is saving money

If I'm using my PC, might as well do something along with hosting

Or I could get a Raspberry Pi 4 model

[ashen spindle]

if its a site that has cookies to cache data its more than just a simple html website, you want to self host that so thousands of people access the site and it runs without issues?

[wild coyote]

Uses small amount of power, can run 24/7

And websites don't really need like 1 gigabit internet xd

Unless it's a tech company with downloads

[ashen spindle]

if you have thousands of people accessing it you need a lot of upload to saturate it still

[wild coyote]

They take bytes

Many many bytes

It won't overwhelm my internet

[ashen spindle]

so the site that video is about, the html alone is half a megabtye, that's without running any of the javascript code or the fact that there is hundreds of sub pages

[round pumice]

That is what people are doing in the fediverse.

Mastodon, peertube, lemmy and so on.

[ashen spindle]

yeah and I'm sure they would show you the door if you asked them to host your business website for free

[wild coyote]

if I wanted to make a full budget self host media streaming platform, I can

[ashen spindle]

what, for free?

[wild coyote]

I'll just use jellyfin with rclone lmao

[round pumice]

Take a look at peertube. That is already done with it.

[ashen spindle]

even if someone hosts something for free on their fediverse that still means it's costs someone has to pay for at some point

[wild coyote]

That's how life works

[round pumice]

Yes but it is spread to multiple nodes.

So it is not so overwhelming for the single node hoster

[wild coyote]

Yuh

[ashen spindle]

the point was you get an option to not have ads and instead pay for the site access, which otherwise finances the hosting via ads, since hosting is not free

[round pumice]

I am hosting a matrix server for an ngo and connected it to the fediverse

[wild coyote]

If I wanted to host everything I need and not deal with ads or anything else. I'm well over happy to self host or pay 5-10 usd/eur per month for a vps

And I'd rather have decentralized platforms so anyone can help out

like matrix

[round pumice]

That depends on your needs, if that is enough

[wild coyote]

Lmao I'm hosting games for homies and others

[candid spear]

Hello, is it worth it getting the PBT keycaps or is ABS fine aswell for a budget option?

[ashen spindle]

you never looked at what the video is about or did you and are somehow still just talking about selfhosting hobby project website

[wild coyote]

yes

[ashen spindle]

https://wooting.io/post/abs-vs-pbt-what-are-the-best-keycaps

so you just entered a conversation talking about something completely else, got it

[wild coyote]

Yes

[ashen spindle]

good to know that I can just ignore whatever you say in the future then

[wild coyote]

lmao

Can't watch videos while I'm doing IRL stuff

I just guessed on the subject

[ashen spindle]

you dont even need to watch the video to know what its about or you can ask

[wild coyote]

So what was it about?

[ashen spindle]

well not for self hosting sites that work on something tiny like a home pc obviously

[candid spear]

yeah I've read it but Im not sure if the PBT keycaps are worth it really I don't know if the ABS keycaps have a good quality which I would assume though if you're paying that much

[ashen spindle]

I mean thats personal preference, I much prefer them

prefer the pbt ones I mean

[charred pebble]

hey I would like to create a macro in Wootormation, is it possible to add a loop there?

[ashen spindle]

#💻│wootomation

[candid spear]

oh okay its just I don't want anything to "break" get damaged whatever, what do you like more about them?

[ashen spindle]

feels better and they are like new years later still, depending on how oily your skin is abs can wear away

[candid spear]

ah okay, does anyone here have the ABS keycaps?

[lyric hatch]

Let me be tricky and say I prefer ABS although good ABS comes at a price

[candid spear]

isn't ABS 20 euros cheaper though?

[lyric hatch]

I would probably spend the extra and get wootings double shot PBT over the ABS

[candid spear]

okay thank you!!

[vagrant pagoda]

@astral haven so it was def some kind of surge. I found my instability issue, on of my dimms has a blown 15ohm resistor network.

The channel died at the same time, but the dimm will work just not stable

So mobo, riser and one dimm is all that died

Somehow CPU survived

[real pebble]

yo guys does anyone know why i can't activate socd

[reef patrol]

Gotta use beta. See pins in #⏬│rappy_and_snappy

[real pebble]

i do

[reef patrol]

But did you UPDATE your keyboard first.

Go into settings in bottom left.

Firmware should be 2.9.1-beta

[crimson wigeon]

I think the real problem is a bug in Wootility.
They are using a language that makes text very long, combined with high-DPI scaling so things slide offscreen into the void

[reef patrol]

Can @fair gull confirm or deny? 😄

[fair gull]

works for me

idk what res they use wootility at for it to be that massive everywhere

[reef patrol]

Oh good point. Might help to do a CTRL+0

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle any laptop news

[crimson wigeon]

That's probably the natural zoom level, they'd have to zoom out (observe how the browser chrome is big as well)

[ashen spindle]

laptops are cancelled they dont make any anymore

[reef patrol]

Oh Windows UI scaling? Culd be.

[fair gull]

ye

but its definitely smth v5 hopefully fixes

german isnt the only wordy language sadly

welp time to use english again

also interesting that the replacer for the count doesnt work

[stoic rapids]

wootomation white screen

any fix?

[ashen spindle]

#💻│wootomation

[jaunty rose]

Do you guys also believe if wooting never got popular most of the RT competitors wouldn’t exist?

Not saying that they’re bad I do think there are good Value RT boards for people who cant afford wooting, and competition is good

[reef patrol]

It's a tough job showing other companies how to innovate.

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-crossed-arms-pikachu-eyes-closed-pokemon-gif-15194868

[ashen spindle]

It’s hard to speculate what other people think so it’s impossible to say what could’ve been in another universe

[astral haven]

at least some good news :/

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah idk how

Literally blew part of the resistor network off

But I barrowed a buddies b450 and it ran fine with 4 dimms

I swapped the cpus. My x3d works fine in his board, and his 5600x is the same in mine

Not gonna bother testing the riser,.just going to get new onw

[astral haven]

fun
dont want to create more issues by going with a plx riser?

[vagrant pagoda]

Fitment

[gusty kiln]

What mobo you gonna get?

[vagrant pagoda]

The riser blocks my CPU airflow

Right now with the GPU in the slot I had to strap a fan to it

[reef patrol]

Lower the riser? Do you need all of your PCIe slots?

[vagrant pagoda]

The whole point is to just run the 180s at minimum speed

[vagrant pagoda]

I just said why l9l

I have a P1

[reef patrol]

Yes yes owo uwu 7_7 to you too, friend.

[vagrant pagoda]

And my GPU is in the front of the case vertically mounted

[reef patrol]

[vagrant pagoda]

So bottom 180s blow up though the p1

And front 180s blow over the gpu

Neither the CPU or GPU have fans

But I had to stick a rear 140 on because I moved the GPU back to its slot

With the riser in and folded flat, it doesn't block the cpu

I had some sort of surge, and it killed the riser, mobo and one dimm

So now I'm raw doggin single channel 16gb

[astral haven]

better ups time i guess

[weak hull]

I'm getting this message

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258

[jaunty rose]

Which x3D¿ I run a 7 5800x3D

[vagrant pagoda]

I have a rack mount APC 😦

[distant tapir]

The 'response times' on my CRT must be like 500 ms at certain points. When I play a super dark game with a lightsource in the game and move the camera around there's this overhang that lasts at least a few hundred ms.

[astral haven]

yea theres a reason that reviewers now use deviation figures to test response times rather than a single figure

[ashen spindle]

and a reason why crts are not as common anymore 😛

[distant tapir]

It's also very common to see people online say that CRTs have 'perfect response times'. Now I know that they don't own one.

[astral haven]

yes and no
the recovery time of of crts can be slow, but the attack time is nearly in the nanosecond range

and different crts have different phosphors that perform quite differently

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKV0FiuVJ0E also neat, didnt know the pro cards had actual full 80gig spec

[astral haven]

sad, wish it was usbc alt mode

[ashen spindle]

hopefully we get that on next gen gpus

if nvidia is still reusing the current outdated display engine I'll be mad

[astral haven]

oh yea speaking of usbc, did you know that amd didnt include usb data support on any of the usbc reference cards?

[ashen spindle]

on what reference cards?

[astral haven]

6000, 7000

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah I forget they didnt drop usb on it

so yeah didnt know, dont remember seeing anyone ever test it

[astral haven]

yep, its a bit of a pain for a very small niche, but there are dozens of us who want it

[umbral heron]

Hmm... 7600X + 4060 + 32G RAM sounds good?

[ashen spindle]

always depends on the price

[umbral heron]

I tried to get everything at least decent in the budget my auntie gave me

With some ASRock's B650M mobo

[ashen spindle]

could check price for non x variant, for mobo I assume its the HDV?

[umbral heron]

B650M-H/M.2 +

[astral haven]

58(or 7)00x3d cheaper? or are you really planning to upgrade within 2 or 3 years?

[ashen spindle]

wouldnt go with ddr4 systems for new builds anymore

[umbral heron]

Probably? It's for my cousin, I have to go somewhat cheap and I wanted to go with somewhat recent stuff

[astral haven]

id agree if gpus werent so miserably priced now

[ashen spindle]

tf do gpus have to do with ram

oh if you mean package cost, nah, the zen3x3d cost more than a 7600

[astral haven]

nope

[ashen spindle]

yes they do like 20-30€

[astral haven]

remember you have to include the ram (which is closer now but still more expensive) and the board (same story)

[ashen spindle]

was about to write the only difference owuld be ram and board but thats not a big one and one is a dead platform the other not and ddr5 might even work on next gen wherreas ddr4 certainly cant

[umbral heron]

5700X3D is more or less the same as 7600X here, 5800X3D is 1.5 that, 7800X3D is 2x that
But I'd prefer to go with AM5 in case of future upgrade

[astral haven]

yep, but a 4060 and a 9000x3d (assuming its same uplift as previous x3d) is slower than a 4070 and a 5700x3d

obviously if you cant upgrade gpu by getting a generally worse cpu, dont go for it, but if you can step up a tier of gpu...

[umbral heron]

It'll be enough for him, he happily runs shitty laptop with MX130 now

And 4070 is 2x the price of 4060

[ashen spindle]

depends though, newer games get more and more BW hungry and you can see benefits from ddr5 vs 4 on people who went for the cheaper option on alder lake

[astral haven]

and more bw hungry wouldnt give the advantage to x3d?

[ashen spindle]

nope not all the time

[jaunty rose]

got the x3d for VR

[ashen spindle]

HUB had some testing with ddr5 and x3d somewhat recently thats why

[sharp badger]

Here it's €770 for a kit with 7800X3D, 32GB 6000MT/s ram, B650E

The 5800X3D is like €360~

A kit with 5700X3D, 32GB 3600MT/s & B550 is €470

[ashen spindle]

ohh they finally added a thing to check if this is working

maybe now it works for me

[astral haven]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CDDPPF
dunno the budget, but this is the best i can do for uk

[ashen spindle]

poland not uk

[umbral heron]

Around 800~1000€

[iron wave]

It's so happy to see you.

[astral haven]

if yalls prices arent dramatically better than germany, then rip on the 4070, ignore me

i knew eu prices were bad, but it feels like its gotten worse...

[umbral heron]

23% VAT

[ashen spindle]

prices have been dropping but the ukraine war shakeup for USD/EUR did mess things up a good while

[astral haven]

wait how did that change things?

[sharp badger]

Cheapest dual fan 4070 here is €570~

[ashen spindle]

well exchange prices changed but hardware prices didnt change the same amount

[astral haven]

exchange doesnt seem to be too bad to me?
1.1?usd/eur

[ashen spindle]

before we had basically the exact same prices as the US for listings since the 20ish percent VAT was almost exactly the difference in currency so for a good while listing price of 999usd msrp meant you will find a 999eur msrp for the card

[sharp badger]

So €1340 for 7800X3D, 32GB ram , B650E & 4070

[astral haven]

oh geez I didnt realize how much the exchange rate had fluctuated
if it was just a straight line from 1.2 to 1.1 it would probably be fine, but its all over the place

[ashen spindle]

yeeee

so then you have some parts released when it was 0.9x and some at 1.1x and it's a bit messy

likely not the only reason but for me it feels like an important one

[sharp badger]

Comparing the Rog Ally X prices e.g. $799.99 vs €949

[astral haven]

they price for worst case with some safety margin, so they probably are all pricing at .9 just to be safe

[astral haven]

well 800 is missing tax, and we do pay tax here

[sharp badger]

I see is it different from state to state?

[astral haven]

I think I've now spent more on eartips than iems, tho it's close now

[astral haven]

its different from city to city
my state goes from 5.5 to 15

[sharp badger]

Ok 🕵️

[warm glade]

truthear x crinacle zero red dual dynamic drivers in-ear headphones have the lowest latency henceforth the best iems for gaming

[sharp badger]

Wonder if those Divinius are good also what are the other ones? spinfit?

[astral haven]

thats probably not true, single dd is probably lower than anything with multi driver

[astral haven]

they are very smooth, the other 3 are all azla

[sharp badger]

Ok which do you prefer thus far?

[astral haven]

im really liking the hifigos, but they are a little sharp for me and the azla that i have so far are slightly more comfortable

the hifigos i just put on my buds pro2 to try out and they are seeming to be a bit better (than stock)

[sharp badger]

Ok, nice 👍

Searching for some new eartips too so interesting to hear opinions

[astral haven]

i have yuge and different sized earholes so tips have been a bit of a problem

[astral haven]

thats probably wrong, its probably 10-100NS of actual latency

they are analog

[warm glade]

Then what iem that has the lowest latency?

[astral haven]

dont worry about it, anything analog wont be measurable

[sharp badger]

Can see that, would be nice to have custom eartips then

[astral haven]

i have some radians putty, but the trouble is the tip itself has an effect on the noise, so what im planning on doing is getting a tip that is good, then packing it with putty and using that

[sharp badger]

Yeah that sounds like it could work

[astral haven]

problem is i havent heard of anyone doing that, which is kinda unfortunate for me

also i have truthear nova and zero blue, and they both have extremely slippery cases that i suspect wont hold on to the putty properly even when it cures

[sharp badger]

Yeah currently reading about it and this sounds like that case your talking about lol

[astral haven]

yea, for that style of iem, you dont put a tip on top of the custom mold, you use the long tube of the iem as the tip

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[gusty kiln]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-9700x-performance-smt-disabled/22.html

[astral haven]

kinda interesting how power didnt change with smt

but the fact that less than 3% perf difference has peeps excited shows how awful the cpu market is atm

[gusty kiln]

apparently "AMD is using AI-trained networks inside the CPU to optimize operation" in the conclusion

sounds like it's kinda fucky

[astral haven]

nah, both intel and amd have been doing that for a decade

[gusty kiln]

either way it's going to be ZzzZZzzZzzzz until 9000X3D

9950X might be a productivity monster though

first review i can find mentioning a neural branch predictor

[vagrant pagoda]

no hardware scheduler ?

[sharp badger]

Is there really going to be a big step from 7800X3D -> ''9800X3D''?

[ashen spindle]

product isnt out so we dont know

[astral haven]

the predictions are its gonna be gud, but ^
and the new arch could get royally tripped up by moar $

[sharp badger]

Yeah just not hyping it up to be a big difference but will have to see

[iron wave]

I mean, if you want a prediction compare existing CPUs that match the new ones.

From the one review I watched (because I'm not planning on buying any) it looks Zen 5 is better but not by that much and Zen 4 trades blows. It's mostly a massive efficiency improvement.

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[iron wave]

Feels more like they are competing against ARM chips.

[astral haven]

how do i make kde connect open on startup inside of kde?

[umbral heron]

It should launch with KDE, if not add kdeconnectd to System Settings > System > Autostart or make a systemd .service

[cedar ice]

Thoughts on Samsung Odyssey G95C 49” (This is the non-OLED version) for 899€?

[unkempt lake]

I have the neo G9

And i absolutely love it

[cedar ice]

yeah this is the older version

[unkempt lake]

Mine is mini led

[cedar ice]

It has VA panel, 240Hz, 2K resolution

[unkempt lake]

Yeah

Neo g9 is the same but with improved hdr

And more dimming zones

[cedar ice]

don't care that much about HDR so not a big deal

[pale sigil]

Mini led monitors are a thing?

[unkempt lake]

Ya

[pale sigil]

TIL

I bet they are ultra wide though

[cedar ice]

I could also get the OLED version for same price but I'm worried about burn-in

[unkempt lake]

Super ultra wide

[unkempt lake]

I like the more aggressive curve on the g9 and neo

And oled isn't as good if you use it for text

Mini led tends to be better for text

[astral haven]

mostly gone as a problem unless you use 100% scaling

why not, ltt is really into "privateering"

[cedar ice]

Think 900€ is good deal for this?

I paid 1300cad for my neo

[north tide]

yeah he pirated my friends software lol

yeah but everything is more expensive here

[unkempt lake]

You can't pirate (modern) Windows

[sudden imp]

You can activate it though

Just bought a 60he and after a little bit of research I think I need a new pc. Any suggestions for a $1200 to $1700 price range? 🙏

[reef patrol]

You -can-

[unkempt lake]

But then you lose super ultrawide and that's sad

[cedar ice]

You can. I'm definitely not speaking from experience.

[reef patrol]

You aren't legally expected to.

[pale sigil]

I don't understand what you mean

[sharp badger]

Super ultrawide can be good and bad

[umbral heron]

In commercial setting you can pirate it

[astral haven]

he bought a ton of licenses but doesnt bother activating them

[sharp badger]

Kinda think that 2 monitors is still the way to go it all depends on ones use case

[umbral heron]

For personal use non-activated Windows can be used indefinitely for "evaluation purposes"

[reef patrol]

I mean that's partly on him. He could run the corporate solution and self-activate and pay for a license.

[astral haven]

windows KMS makes me want to kms

[cedar ice]

Ok so the reason my windows is "pirated" is that I had legitimate copy of windows but when I upgraded some of my hardware, I ran into an error trying to activate it again and I found out the only solution would have been to call microsoft and ask them to clear the license again and I just said screw that and just did it myself in 2 minutes

so I do still actually own legitimate windows it's just that it was easier to get illegitimate one working

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah I did the same

I booted my legit copy in a VM on the same machine and that unactivated it forever

I said fuck it and MAS'd it

[sharp badger]

Haven't had that problem yet

[cedar ice]

yeah that's the same problem I had except instead of a vm it was my pc before the upgrade and after the upgrade

and the only solution internet told me was to call microsoft support

[reef patrol]

At any rate - For as long as I have to pay ~6€ for every single storage device I buy, because it is assumed I do legal private backups of my content, I shall continue doing so 😄

[north tide]

The problem is that when you swap hardware the OS freaks out a bit and can take hours/days to reactivate.

so it shows as unactivated

[reef patrol]

Uh no.

You - SELF ACTIVATE

i.e. no connection to Microsoft.

[north tide]

I have never heard of that system 😛

[sharp badger]

You can get this at Gigantti too

[reef patrol]

Windows has had this for ... decades?

[umbral heron]

Since XP at least

[reef patrol]

KMS servers. You pay a license agreement to Microsoft for "up to X devices", and you activate against a locally hosted server on YOUR network.

[north tide]

AH

[cedar ice]

Yeah it's on sale on pretty much every store here so I'd just choose whatever gives me the best credit program. (Since I'm not paying for the whole thing in one go)

[pale sigil]

Usually I just click activate now when it freaks out and it works.

My license doesn't seem to have caps on activations though for some reason? I've used it on multiple laptops and multiple desktops since Windows 8

[cedar ice]

I actually think Samsung's own website has pretty good monthly payment program already so I might just order from them

[sharp badger]

Wow the normal Rog ally Z1E is €400 now

[reef patrol]

It's all part of Microsoft's convoluted points system. And you're a loyal customer with more points, if you use a Microsoft account (etc...)

[umbral heron]

OG SD-cooker?

[sharp badger]

Yup have to get it at the store though

[pale sigil]

I most definitely don't use an Ms account for windows

[reef patrol]

Atta boy. Most folks do.

[cedar ice]

I think it's hilarious that the program used to pirate windows is hosted on a website owned by microsoft

[smoky frigate]

I don't think we used the same one lawl

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/actually-nerd-fat-bastard-gif-12320222

Mansen rn

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah, means it's unofficially approved

[reef patrol]

There's a reason why Microsoft don't care about consumers. You probably already paid for the license as part of the PC, or you're one person.

Much more fun to do surprise inspections on "partners", companies and fine them for breaking agreements.

[cedar ice]

yeah I did actually

not to mention they make more money from spying on me anyway

[pale sigil]

Ah don't worry, I haven't used Windows in 4 months.

Just android

[reef patrol]

Microsoft won't let you re-use the original license on a refurbished PC. Gotta pay them for a new sticker and everything.

Their spy was very frustrated, when we managed to show him only legal machines one time, hiding the other 90% that were definitely reused licenses 😄

[sharp badger]

Well your android is probably spying on you too

[reef patrol]

(I used to work at a PC repair store - This is not Wooting btw 😄 )

[cedar ice]

I'd switch to linux in a heartbeat if only more software supported it. I do music and most of the music software is windows or mac only so you need to jump through extra hoops to get it working on linux which in turn will cause extra instability and points of failure

[smoky frigate]

been using windows 11 LTSC preview since yesterday, originally to run a tool for my monitor, but actually this OS is pretty comfy. it is the version without all the user hostile shit taken out though. no app support, no onedrive, no ads

[sudden imp]

Microsoft sucks

[ashen spindle]

11 ltsc is already out?

[umbral heron]

Once you make it run it's usually stable

once you make it run

[pale sigil]

Sweet sweet Chinese android.

[balmy vector]

That’s what i said yesterday

[smoky frigate]

in beta form. supposed to run for 90 days only. but you know.

[ashen spindle]

ahhh

[cedar ice]

Still gonna introduce extra latency and if things go wrong it'll be more complicated to troubleshoot

[smoky frigate]

I haven't run into any problems yet and coming from 6 years of nothing but linux: this is much cleaner than 10 ever was

[cedar ice]

and also things like drivers are a nightmare on linux. You often need to run windows in a VM just to install the device firmware

[sudden imp]

I agree

[umbral heron]

False and true respectively

And community makes drivers for pretty much everything nowadays

[astral haven]

im getting annoyed by "ubuntu has run into an error" popups that are happening more and more frequently now, and its been a week i think, maybe 2

[cedar ice]

running a program through a wrapper is logically going to introduce extra latency

[umbral heron]

Wine is not a wrapper

[smoky frigate]

consider the following: you're learning to use another OS, you'll get a feel for it and fix problems the same you do under windows

also wine by itself does not introduce latency to my knowledge, but you're paying a performance tax SOMETIMES

[astral haven]

yea but the problems arent the same, and theres never anyone with the exact same config having the issue

[smoky frigate]

I turned these off, they are not helpful

[cedar ice]

I mean I'm already fairly familiar with linux and use it on my laptop

[umbral heron]

Same as translated text can be shorter in another language, same programs in Wine can run faster than on Windows
Besides Win32 apps on Windows run in WoW64, which for all intents and purposes is very similar to Wine

[cedar ice]

well fair enough but it's still just extra cumbersome to use windows programs on linux

and for example my audio hardware isn't linux compatible by default

[smoky frigate]

the underlying components are often the same and solutions often work across several distros, but you're right in principle, fragmentation is not conducive to learning it

[astral haven]

except theres no translation of api calls required

[umbral heron]

That is true, yeah
Drivers for audio hardware can be wonky

[cedar ice]

it can technically work plug and play on linux but only for the basic functionality

you can't for example use the mixer that comes with my interface on linux

[smoky frigate]

try alsamixer, lots of settings the driver can do are hidden there

[cedar ice]

which I use a lot

[smoky frigate]

oic, no idea about that tbf lawl

[umbral heron]

ALSA is a golden hammer

[crimson wigeon]

But only if the open source developers have managed to reverse engineer the magic bytes to send the device

[cedar ice]

I use audient id14 mk2 as my interface and it comes with a handy mixer which replaced voicemeeter for me and I don't wanna lose it

[smoky frigate]

if you want an un-fucked windows, try LTSC when it comes out or run the preview (works pretty well)

no low IQ shit

doesn't assault you with garbage

[crimson wigeon]

I would but the sucker part of me wants to play around with game pass sometimes

[smoky frigate]

booting it up does not start with Satya Nadella taking a huge dump through your monitor, etc.

[rough osprey]

whats really the difference other then bit less stuff installed

[sudden imp]

What’s that? (I had no clue there are other versions of windows)

[smoky frigate]

imagine windows 7 but with the shell of 11

[crimson wigeon]

Although my current experience with 11 pro is mostly not too much bad shit. I think just saying no to a lot of the stuff in OOBE and not using a MS account helps

[smoky frigate]

that's pretty much it, the garbage is reigned in

[rough osprey]

what garbage

[smoky frigate]

UWP apps, ads, onedrive off the top of my hat

I never used regular 11 so what do I know 😛

[rough osprey]

so saves a bit of work ig?

[crimson wigeon]

I guess I do also have the EU benefit of making it easy to disable certain things

[smoky frigate]

maybe? I prefer it comes like that by default and I don't have to wrangle stuff away from it that it just wants to reinstall

[crimson wigeon]

It hasn't wanted to reinstall anything yet

[rough osprey]

ye switched from 23h2 to 24h2 yesterday and couldn't notice any reinstalled apps

[reef patrol]

Speaking of Windows installs.

If I were to be shopping for a new NVME today, what should I look for? 1-2TB. AM5 mobo. For OS mainly and a bit of cache. I have +4TB for gaemz

[smoky frigate]

I was not sure initially whether to try the LTSC preview or Tiny11, decided against the latter

[balmy vector]

I hear you can get sn770s cheap

Also heard crucial t500 is quite good for its price

[reef patrol]

[sudden imp]

1 tb should be fine for just a boot drive

Unless your putting a lot on it then it should be okay dokay

[pastel nacelle]

WD doesnt have smart or windows fast boot/quickboot.

[reef patrol]

Yeah should be fine. I am currently using a mere 1.7TB on my 4TB OS/Game drive atm 😄

[pastel nacelle]

I have the 4tb highspeed it not have it.

[sudden imp]

Can you explain if there is benefits of switching if I had already tuned windows and disabled all the stuff I didn’t want.

[astral haven]

they absolutely all have smart
and windows fast boot is bad but has nothing to do with what ssd you get

[sudden imp]

Like is there any?

[reef patrol]

Windows Updates much less often, lots of built in stuff disabled (like the app store?), potential issues with certain games down the road.

[pastel nacelle]

Not the SN850

They have their own diagnostic app though.

[astral haven]

google disagrees

[smoky frigate]

no idea! I never ran regular 11, been on linux all this time. I figured instead of doing all this work, I'd just get an MS-approved image that does (not) do all these things by itself

short answer: probably nothing!

[storm bloom]

Hello Wootingers, I am in the order page, 80HE (Is there any particular reason people prefer 60HE or it's just matter of TKL and 60%), I chose Zinc Alloy style (I hope it makes that much difference as price) and I am stuck in keycaps since I dont know much about it, could you please drop me a short explanation of what that actually is and which one do you recommend to use? (Currently I am using stock Blackwidow v4 TKL and I am happy with Keycaps,sound and feeling). Appreciate that.

[sharp badger]

https://wooting.io/post/abs-vs-pbt-what-are-the-best-keycaps There's Pros & Cons here

[astral haven]

RGB wood

[sharp badger]

The GMK ABS aftermarket keycaps are a bit different though

[sudden imp]

Thanks for the response !

Sucks that it’s always a hassle to get things to do what ya want

But that’s life I assume

[sudden imp]

Thanks for the response! Definetly doesn’t seem to be something that would give me any improvement.

[pastel nacelle]

While google disagrees there was no mention of smart compatibility in the literature.

[astral haven]

they are all smart compatible, dont worry about that

https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/western-digital-sn850-1-tb.d450
and heres some nice and reliable literature that says its got smart

[pastel nacelle]

Good to know.

For now ill continue to use the WD Diagnostic tool.

[astral haven]

yea no reason not to, but itll work fine with hwinfo or whatever

[ashen spindle]

pretty sure the wd tool is just reading out the smart data from the drives

[astral haven]

it is, but it also checks smart vendor and should refuse if its not a wd

[pastel nacelle]

It also updates .

980s still burning up?

im trying to get this flatpak app to launch as root (because it needs it)
if i try to edit the properties in any way it just refuses, and im not even sure im trying to edit the right thing?

Bro Microsoft wont even let me mod minecraft

I preferred the former way of messing with minecraft. Not dumping things into a client based folder.

INTC looks like death right now... With the massively volatile week this week, and the markets heavy, Intel could see another 10% haircut by Wednesday night

[ashen spindle]

heh yeah fun times ahead

[umbral heron]

Prism Launcher

[fickle ore]

Could see an 10% upside as well. I just checked my tea leaves

Brew Mate tea

[marsh glade]

My tarot cards say that is unlikely

[balmy vector]

Can your tarot cards tell me when ill see a frog outside?

[pastel nacelle]

My carda say government bail outs comin.

[fickle ore]

MBA's dude

[pastel nacelle]

Mm you right

[marsh glade]

See ain't that just the thing? The rest of the chip maker stocks and the broader NQ are all actively trading into their respective gaps. Intel on the other hand, is not. This is a correlated pair divergence which suggests extreme bearishness at a time when the broader market is expected to be bearish

[pastel nacelle]

Still believe no recall even if a class action happens.

[supple nest]

Bears bears bears

They never win the Superbowl so who cares

[fickle ore]

So inverse WSB? LOAD intel calls

Leggoo

[ashen spindle]

the class action or recall or not has 0 influence on the intel stock

[fickle ore]

Ima take some INTC 26 leaps

[fickle ore]

this

[ashen spindle]

stock doesnt care about some DIY market chips and a handful of enterprise users, thats just public perception and will erode future trust

[fickle ore]

ok maybe cumulative 0-1%

[ashen spindle]

but has no direct stock influence for now

[marsh glade]

One of these is not like the other...

[fickle ore]

you need to start streaming your day trading 😄

Tell you what though, I'm not going to stand in front of this week's news events with any strongly held beliefs, it's a doozy of a week. Tomorrow morning CPI, then Wednesday morning PPI, Thursday morning PPI

No doubt in my mind that both sides of the marketplace will be attacked, viciously and with extreme prejudice

[fickle ore]

this week is for making money

[marsh glade]

But gun to my head, I'd say the weekly candle prints its highest price Tuesday morning, then either at CPI or at market open afterwards start making its way down to new lows, continuing lower until the NY session on Thursday for a low of the week and then a calmer Friday retracement back up into the weekly range

[fickle ore]

Get some spy puts then

A central bank repricing like will happen this week can blow an account in an instant

Thankfully my bank doesnt have options

I'd be broke af

[marsh glade]

Options would be a good way to engage, given the maximum risk is 100% of the options value, versus any leverage trade

Market is likely to teleport past any stop losses and obliterate traders

[fickle ore]

im already leveraged to the tits

How good are marks BBQs?

[marsh glade]

I have a degree in meat science 😎

I'm grilling at a bbq on Saturday, come on by

Ordered 16 flat iron steaks

[reef patrol]

I am -quite- jealous.

[pastel nacelle]

Flat iron good.

[balmy vector]

Oh if only i could

It sounds so good

[pastel nacelle]

I like ribeye though.

Wish they had a choice here between what wagyu cuts we get.

The cuts also suck at the market.

I cant dry age 2 inches without better hardware.

[frozen ingot]

beef good

[pastel nacelle]

Seared in pink all the way through.

Hello guys I was cleaning my keyboard and I think I lost my tab keycaps what type of key caps could I get for my 60he+?

[umbral heron]

MX/cross stem, 6.25u spacebar, 1.25u bottom row, so like... 99% of sets on the market and you're set

[neon cloak]

Ok ty

[iron wave]

I dislike Google breaking crap.

[astral haven]

what did they break?

[umbral heron]

Silly Google
I know what's on my screen

[iron wave]

That's what happens when you press and hold the home button instead of the assistant.

[astral haven]

its the assistant, its just giving you a tutorial for a new assistant feature

[wheat plume]

[pastel nacelle]

Ye

[crimson wigeon]

Oh no

[wheat plume]

The box buddy icon is freaking adorable.. <3

Found a new video player, thanks to Bazzite having it preinstalled, its called Clapper

[iron wave]

Hm, I might try doing something kinda stupid. First I'll need to see if my "server" supports IOMMU.

Yay!

[astral haven]

whats it got over mpv?

[wheat plume]

A nicer UI

I found out this is literally just a frontend for mpv

[astral haven]

ah makes sense lel

as much as i like the fact that mpv is the same everywhere i have it, the ui is rather questionable

[umbral heron]

It uses GStreamer, not mpv as backend

[wheat plume]

....

Oh gross

The build of mpv on Fedora doesn't even have a UI... Can't resize the window when watching video

[astral haven]

sad, do the hotkeys work?

[wheat plume]

Q to quit works
I tried s for screenshot and that didn't do anything

[astral haven]

dont hit it too many times, it might just be filling up a random documents or desktop folder

[wheat plume]

I checked screenshot folder, .local share and the mpv Flatpak folder in .var

no tickrate has 0 influence on anything lol

this is the best example of placebo and people misunderstanding what settings do

youll need to explain this a bit more in detail

also LTT got phished with the age old somewhat wellcrafted email. The bait was the email about the X.com notice of someone else accessing the account and the link at the bottom to secure the account was a 302 redirect to some malicious credential harvester

How does it render on a phone though since that’s where he accessed it

[fair gull]

i mean its not how it renders

its more some details that no password reset site has

like entering the old password

although iirc in the twitter chain there was a screenshot of linux where the profile icon was messed up as well

Uhhhh no that’s what I’m still used from other sites that ask for current one to change it

no not change it
