xlr for larger gear, 6.25 for the thinner stuff

[iron wave]

I do want to get a 5.1/7.1 setup one day.

[astral haven]

and how tf is rca "special"

[gusty kiln]

even after the whole DCS drama lol

[thin axle]

hold up...

[final flame]

I mean, it was one guy who was promptly fired

[thin axle]

you want full lemo connectors, dont you!! 😮

[final flame]

I can't blame the whole company for one piece of shit

[gusty kiln]

oh that's what you meant

[final flame]

their stuff is ungodly expensive regardless though

[gusty kiln]

I thought you were still on the 4.4 as a dac out

[thin axle]

Only 31k! What a steal! 😮

[gusty kiln]

Fuck it, I want the HE-1

[final flame]

same

I would get he-1 before the lina stack

[gusty kiln]

or a crazy Genelec setup

[final flame]

Genelec surrounds?

[gusty kiln]

yeah

[astral haven]

both options for correct ports on balanced audio gear, one small one large

[final flame]

I personally would love to get these

damn benchmark is missing 1/4 out

[astral haven]

xlr is fiiine

[gusty kiln]

here you go

giga ports

This good? I'm using the 5700X3D

https://jdslabs.com/media/product/el-dac-ii/images/2022-04-27.15-48-11.el-dac-ii-plus-balanced.png

looks like JDS Labs was reading your mind

[astral haven]

yeeee

[final flame]

love it

[gusty kiln]

I think the DX9 is their best looking product

[final flame]

also funnily enough headphones.com used ezgif to resize this image

[thin axle]

Ironically, I started my audiophile journey on "The Element" from JDS labs, it was a good amp/dac, but sometimes it would have "Glare" on the sound, and it'd hurt my ears. I kinda wonder if the new one has the same problem.

[gusty kiln]

smexy

[final flame]

but limited edition, also I'm not too much of a fan of the rounded look

[iron wave]

For crying out loud just use something like GIMP or Imagemagick.

[final flame]

I love how solid and well placed the a70 looks

[thin axle]

Why not sign your life away with photoshop, and then when you cancel they give you a -$300 severance package? 😮

[iron wave]

Does that even work on Linux in the first place?

[gusty kiln]

seems like you would want a discrete design amp rather than opamp-based

[final flame]

through wine yes

some versions work better than others though

[iron wave]

Crazy that they'd allow that.

[gusty kiln]

people claim that discrete designs tend to sound more natural and organic than opamp based

but I haven't tested that myself

[final flame]

I mean, headphones.com has their other issues larger than resizing a image

[iron wave]

I mean, that's pretty easy to test with a signal gen and a scope. Compare the input and output waveforms and sweep through the frequency range. The least distortion wins.

[thin axle]

Maybe they can hire you to fix it 🙂

[gusty kiln]

do you always snoop on websites you often visit

[final flame]

I wish I specialized in code, not design

[iron wave]

I'm not great at web stuff.

[final flame]

I do UI/UX design, not code

[iron wave]

I do code, not frontend stuff.

[gusty kiln]

[final flame]

not my fault headphones.com makes this easy
this is a screenshot that was cropped from a samsung phone

[final flame]

it do be like that

[iron wave]

Shout-out to the "responsive" websites that make everything bigger or add ungodly amounts of padding when I open my phone.

[livid ruin]

@final flame I am thinking abt trying the senheiser ie 200 tho

[final flame]

Ie200 isn't bad, but it's not the most likable iem for those who expect a more bassy sound

[astral haven]

its also competing with the bulk of the "flagship killer" iems from chifi

[iron wave]

Also how the heck do applications still break their activities get realized? That's been a thing in Android for like 5 years at a minimum.

[livid ruin]

Yea but my problem with iems is that the cable is really short

[iron wave]

Especially Discord since it got switched to being JS based instead of a real application.

[little silo]

the gudenau experience

[astral haven]

thats fixable on any iem besides the sennheisers pretty much

[iron wave]

Anyway, I need sleep. Have fun with your philing.

[astral haven]

everyone else besides etymotic and a few rare exceptions use properly standard cables

[gusty kiln]

What the most comfortable chifi iem atm?

A lot of them look so bulky

[astral haven]

that is so immensely subjective lel

[gusty kiln]

The buds fe shape is very comfortable for me, anything similar?

[final flame]

uhh, most things have large nozzles

[little silo]

IE series?

[final flame]

Sennheiser is where to go for small nozzles and shells

[astral haven]

no, the buds go in your ear, where iems usually just put the tip in 😛

[final flame]

their stuff is really comfy because of that

the only chifi iem that comes to mind with a small nozzle is the dusk

[astral haven]

and the actual answer is to find tips that work, then find iems that fit

[vagrant pagoda]

just the tip and only for a minute

[gusty kiln]

China likes their nozzles thick and juicy

[astral haven]

i use the largest tips on my Buds2P, and if you do as well, itll be pretty easy to find stuff that works

[final flame]

||unlike their anatomy||

[vagrant pagoda]

i hate rubber tips, i gotta have foam

[gusty kiln]

[final flame]

Fucking sony with their massive steel shell and nozzles with the IER Z1R

[astral haven]

the craziest foam tips that ive used are these memes

[thin axle]

Wow, do you need surgery to fit that?

[last fox]

is this the $1k one

[astral haven]

they work like earplugs

[gusty kiln]

I feel like the shell just get jammed against your ear lobes

[final flame]

it's 2k

[last fox]

[vagrant pagoda]

comply? thats what i use

[astral haven]

westone

[astral haven]

pretty sure thats not an official price

[final flame]

apparently the bass on them is great

[astral haven]

yea they are out of production afaik

[last fox]

i swear i saw them for half that a month ago

i want to try the sennheiser HE 1

[final flame]

it's actually cheaper

https://sonypremiumhome.com/signature-series/IER-Z1R.php

[last fox]

im so curious whats the difference between a $500 headset vs $50,000

[thin axle]

welp, off to work overtime cause I'm too broke to afford sennhieser gear 😢

[astral haven]

yea thats not a real price either

like intel msrp except the opposite

theyve always been 1700 on sale for 1600 but im pretty sure they are gone now

[final flame]

what do you want the zepplin and co price?

[little silo]

hear better

[final flame]

one of the most well renown iem dealers

I think you may be thinking of one of sonys other iems

m9 is cheaper

[astral haven]

they have only been at 2k for the last 3 months? after 3 entire years of being 1700

and this is amazon first party

[final flame]

I mean, they never were the most popular option, more of a niche option

iems are a far bigger market than they were 3 years ago

probably why the price inflated

[astral haven]

by dollar amount maybe, by unit count no chance

used to be that you shook a tree and shitty included earbuds would fall out

[lyric hatch]

Spent a lot money on just finding the best eartips for my ears 👂

[gusty kiln]

Wonder if audeze would ever release another iem

[final flame]

probably not

at least anytime soon

they kinda lost out on the planar iem hype

[gusty kiln]

They do have a unique design and the built in dsp eq cable

[astral haven]

dsp eq cable is a feature available to any iem who wants it now tho

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

anyone see the clip of the quadriplegic guy playing CS:GO with Neuralink? pretty cool imo 😎

[gusty nexus]

A lot but the HE 1 is so pricy that it's not worth the money 😅

[gusty nexus]

Nope but is it really true and not like the fake Elden Ring Speedrun with mind control ? 😅

[fair gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYUE696k6GY

very interesting watch

[pale trellis]

i love that sort of thing, epic, cheers 4 share

[halcyon moss]

^^^ that sounds like a bot comment

[pale trellis]

yeh bruz, i'm skynet asf

[reef patrol]

Welp... Start11 was a dud. Didn't have the settings I wanted, and the animations are weirdly slow.
Thankfully there's a dev build for Explorerpatcher that gets me back my UI

[fair gull]

i guess im glas i havent looked at the start menu since using win10

[reef patrol]

I want this basically. Windows 11 won't let you fully remove the RECOMMENDED section normally.

It takes up a lot of space, even when emptied out completely.

[old marlin]

same

it is stupid though

idk why they made it like that

[fair gull]

i type in what i want immediately anyway so i never really see the default menu ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[old marlin]

so do i

[halcyon moss]

i dont think i ever see the windows menu anymore

like tony, just start typing

[fair gull]

maybe if i did the i never used pcs but now have to work in an office against my will attitude of older folks id have to search and click icons in a start menu

[reef patrol]

Faster to click an icon than start typing and praying it actually find the thing I want in the first choice, and I don't have to start going down a list.

[fair gull]

i havent prayed once lol

[latent mural]

i HAVE a question

[fair gull]

nor is it faster for me to click icons

[latent mural]

same model but one says waterproof

how waterproof is water proof by changing colours

cause one is water resistance

and other says water proof

[fair gull]

its called bad chinese translations

[latent mural]

does that mean I can take a shower or a swim with it and blame them if it stops working

[fair gull]

and is an indicator of the quality youre buying

[umbral heron]

Blue ones are just built different

[latent mural]

or sweat my ass off and ask for a new one if it stops working

I do like the black ones more

since I have a huge black keyboard

id go for the soundcore a40 if they werent priced at same price as those

like wtf it used to be cheaper

sadge

[halcyon moss]

wow out of all of those, only the weight matters

[latent mural]

might be the reason I buy liberty 4 nc tho

[latent mural]

ikr provably, but i suppose liberty has better noise canceling that adapts to whatever u want i guess?

guess i have to watch 11 mins video v.v

id rather a40 so I can sleep with em uxu

or lay down

lodac codec

liberty 4 has cleaner sound, fml

ff

their mic is kinda dog too

nc is better tho

[halcyon moss]

not many truewireless earphones have a good mic

[latent mural]

idk

[latent mural]

linux time

[latent mural]

as long has it has good sound x.x idk

[halcyon moss]

and forget about doing phone calls in wind

[latent mural]

soundcore working on real time translation

but who knows when liberty 5 nc coming out

i want earphones with clear good and rawr sound v.v

[late grove]

KSC75

[latent mural]

I'm not rich.

[late grove]

🤦‍♂️ ]

Why am I even bothering to help people at this point.

[latent mural]

also

in ear earphones

[quaint dew]

theyre like insanely cheap lol

[quaint dew]

so iems

[late grove]

Well you did say an "ear phone".

[latent mural]

that's all it shows on amazon spain 😭

[late grove]

And KSC75 is an "ear phone".

[latent mural]

[quaint dew]

yes they're cheap

[late grove]

Well yes that's KSC75 in the middle.

[latent mural]

anyways

something like liberty 4 nc

[late grove]

If you cannot afford a 20$ earphone then you won't find any "clear" iems.

In that price range.

[latent mural]

nc is 60€

atm

as to be sweat proof cause ima use em to workout

[pale sigil]

The portas are awesome

[latent mural]

what doors

there's SoundPEATS engine 4 that youtube says to be high quality sound but theres none in amazon es

idk im tired and i havent ate xwx

[wind pond]

this is really weird but does anyone else's keyboard have a slight imbalance when on your desk? my keyboard has a slight rock to it lol

[late grove]

Nope, is flat on my end.

[wind pond]

ahahahha wtf

[quaint dew]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qq66YN holy moly i just cooked

[vapid ruin]

Seems like the generally good choice, but I would like to double my psu budget to reach that 1.3k incase I wanna idk, pair it up with 8900xtx + 9800x3d in the future.

[quaint dew]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y6hmYN

[ashen spindle]

No you don’t need or want such insane PSUs

[vapid ruin]

ooo, seems noice

[ashen spindle]

All psus are the most efficient if you put them at like 50% load

[quaint dew]

yeah

1200 is insane for this build tho

[ashen spindle]

So when with that list you will hit like idk 350W total powerdraw when gaming you don’t want 1200

[quaint dew]

750 fine if u have the budget for 8900xtx and 9800x3d u have the budget for a new psu

[quaint dew]

yeah 700 would be best

[vapid ruin]

I like to overspend on psu, you never know when you're adding a 2nd gpu to run an AI with it.

[ashen spindle]

You don’t even need a new psu if you upgrade either

You don’t run components at full max powerdraw ever

[fair gull]

LOL yeah lets just buy the biggest PSU you could reasonably afford

[quaint dew]

imma use SF1000L for 7800x3d+7900xtx

[umbral heron]

8900xtx what?

[quaint dew]

thats what he said

[ashen spindle]

Still overkill

[vapid ruin]

Just in case~

[late grove]

I like to overspend on anything.

Do not follow in my steps.

[raw zephyr]

i have 800W PSU and it's overkill for 7800X3D and 7900XTX 😅

[ashen spindle]

I run a 4090 and 7800x3d perfectly fine on my 750w psu

[fair gull]

i regret getting a 1000w psu

[ashen spindle]

You do not need 1kW psus

[fair gull]

maybe if i buy a second 4090 i dont regret

[umbral heron]

So 7950x3d+7900xtx will run fine on 700W or so?

[vapid ruin]

most likely, I think

[quaint dew]

for 7950x3d which is 16c i'd prolly go 750 minimum 850 preferred

assuming ur under high load

[fair gull]

yeah

[reef patrol]

Quality of the PSU matters just as much as the rated load.

[fair gull]

750 should be plenty

[quaint dew]

yep

i love nzxt c 2022 gold its so well priced in lots of places

[reef patrol]

A good PSU will exceed what it is rated for - which helps with spikes but also going slightly over the limit.

[quaint dew]

and great performing

[fair gull]

but yeah in hindsight i wish id gone for a 750w psu

[umbral heron]

Cooler Master MWE White 700W V2

[reef patrol]

So glad I went for a Platinum Seasonic. It broke after two years, and they offered me warranty at a discount, even though it was a freebie.

[ashen spindle]

yeah too bad the platinum focus series isnt a great deal anymore ever since the psu price spikes

they were an easy instant recommendation

[fair gull]

i just realized.... if i got a 750psu i could have bought gollum with the money i saved

[gusty nexus]

I have a 1300w psu with my 7900xtx and 7800x3d 😂

[old marlin]

good that you got a higher tier PSU instead

[steep creek]

lol

[fair gull]

but gollum is a AAAAA game

[balmy vector]

I thought it was a AAAAAAAA game?

[fair gull]

no it can only be a AAAAA game or otherwise we have to extend how this works. rn the third A is the peak and the fourth was proven to be a downfall. so the 5th is the abyss

[balmy vector]

Would the void be next?

[fair gull]

good question

[balmy vector]

Guess ubisoft will find out for us

[fair gull]

thats the spirit

[latent mural]

ppl saying NEPLUS Buds 3 are mad good x.x

question is, do I buy liberty 4 nc now for 60 bucks, or wait blackfriday and hope they dont raise prices and actually make a discount on oneplus?

cause one plus 3 has ip54 and souncore has ipx4

[late grove]

I do think there have been legitimate quad A games in the past. Most Rockstar games can be considered as such.

My personal picks would be Batman Arkham Knight and Unreal Tournament 2004.

[steady sail]

The arkham series is good

I love ut04 when i was younger but now the game is just meh

[halcyon moss]

one for @wheat plume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hlRB2izres

[late grove]

It has it's issues. I think 99 may even be overall better. But if you know the development history of UT2004 then it's pure insanity.

[umbral heron]

Q3A is peak

[late grove]

I am team Unreal. Have my fair share of issues with Quake 3.

[wild coyote]

n o

[latent mural]

but they are cheaper than in amazon

is that or soundcore liberty 4nc

but soundcore is ipx4 aka u cant even use it in the rain (provably)

[wild coyote]

Buy directly from Oneplus instead 😎

[latent mural]

while one plus buds 3 is IP55 meanwhile besting earphones 3 times its price

[latent mural]

they have factories in china like every company

and bet theyd scam the buyer

cheaper in the US, imagine making 50k a year but everything is cheaper than in countries that make 10k a year

fking braindead money printin

and somehow its same value as €

thats so fking braindead

same earphones but no 15%

[ashen spindle]

did you forget conversion rate and tax

[latent mural]

lovely company scams

[ashen spindle]

one includes VAT the other doesnt

[latent mural]

yeah, 23% for my country

plus costs

[ashen spindle]

yeah usd prices dont include VAT

[fresh charm]

why is tax so important for you guys

[ashen spindle]

so you have to manually add that

[latent mural]

still cheaper

my income is not 50k for sure

[fresh charm]

is tax just not included in the purchase

[wheat plume]

That's aosp
Yeh I'm aware xd

[latent mural]

and pretty sure in USA you can run away from taxes by spending money

here doesnt work so well

[ashen spindle]

tax is important because if you compare prices you have to compare the same numbers?

[ashen spindle]

wtf are you dreaming about

[latent mural]

youtube

[balmy vector]

You cant escape taxes in the US

[latent mural]

anyways

[wheat plume]

I consider Pixel Android the "stock Android" because it's the version of Android that the makers of Android put on the phones they make

[latent mural]

reminder that if I wanna buy it from france or UK

I have to pay around 100€ taxes

[wheat plume]

But actual stock Android is AOSP

[latent mural]

for 70€ earbuds

[halcyon moss]

yeah, not stock

[iron wave]

That's only true for the billionaires.

[latent mural]

france is closer but takes a month to arrive

wtf, aquaman deliverying thro the sea

costs 123€ in a store nearby

and its cheaper to import from USA with all prices included in amazon , after taxes

than to any country in europe

in price and shipping

[wild coyote]

because taxes

the more yk

[latent mural]

120€ with "free" shipping

[iron wave]

So no one can see these right?

[latent mural]

80 + 12€ for taxes is the final price

that's 92€

aka same price as buying from the oneplus here, and 30 eur cheaper than buying from a store here

[fair gull]

so do it

[latent mural]

no

[wild coyote]

oneplus buds 3 directly from oneplus store is 84 euros + 7 euro shipping

[fair gull]

why is this such a long dicussion

[latent mural]

its a 2 week wait

[wild coyote]

with a 24% VAT

[latent mural]

id rather wait for black friday

cause unlike here america actually gets black friday discounts

here they double the prices so they can add 30% discount

[fair gull]

where is here

[latent mural]

aka you still lose money cause is 70% more expensive

europe

portugal

[fair gull]

im fairly certain portugal bans tactics where you increase the price to give discounts

[latent mural]

hell seaside with illegal immigrants and rich ppl who dont wanna work anymore

[latent mural]

and how many bans was last year for that?

we now even have a PPR

aka a recommended price

and instead of having a discounts from a price a month ago or so

[iron wave]

If you don't like the pricing just don't buy it, it's as easy as that.

[umbral heron]

Bless Omnibus directive

[latent mural]

they add fake discounts since the recommended price is twice the real price of all stores

fake discounts to make u buy

and they can freely raise prices still

specially of late covid

[iron wave]

No one is forcing you to spend money on this, you can just not.

[latent mural]

cause they can just say inflation and add 30% to somethings price

[latent mural]

when I talk about this I talk about everything

house food etc

a small apartment here can go as bad as 350k

and this is not a city but a village.

[iron wave]

Heck, look at any of the luxury clothing items. That stuff has like 10000% markup or something asinine like that.

[latent mural]

where youre paying the brand?

[iron wave]

If people didn't buy at the market price it would be lower.

[latent mural]

I'm talking about the cheapest food

and ur talking about rolls royce?

are you an ape or something?

[latent mural]

good luck with that

even if ppl who live and work here dont buy they wont go bankrupt

[iron wave]

That's how it works, but people are buying.

[latent mural]

nor banks, afterall they make alot of money when ppl who dont work here come for vacations

[ashen spindle]

keep it civil if someone has a discussion with you

[latent mural]

or come to work from afar by online to other countries

[latent mural]

lmao, let me ask u something

you have 10 cars

you dont use them

so they are just rotting

but you dont need the money at all

would you still sell your 10 cars?

No.

[fair gull]

either way portugal is part of the EU what youre describing to make something more expensive just in portugal is not allowed in the EU as all EU member states must have fair pricing as to not discriminate between each other. discounts also have to be fair informing the customer about the real price and you cant just increase the base price so thr discount looks good.

end of discussion

[latent mural]

You know what they did when people didnt wanna work for free?

[fair gull]

for everyone

[iron wave]

That's not going to affect the market prices of new cars because they aren't being sold and they aren't being sold new.

[latent mural]

they allowed immegrants to come work for free, meanwhile giving them all the support and money they never give to their own population

[iron wave]

This is also illegal in the States.

[umbral heron]

all EU member states must have fair pricing as to not discriminate between each other

Tell that to Valve

[ashen spindle]

sir this is a wendys tech talk not immigration politics channel

[latent mural]

like allowing immegrants wasnt legal and was punished with fines and portugal paid those and did not care about breaking what is not allowed

[latent mural]

we still talking about prices

[ashen spindle]

no this is nothing about tech anymore

[umbral heron]

Alright, I think we're done here

[latent mural]

oh yes, we have same or more expensive prices

meanwhile making 3 times less than the poorest guy in france

and having same or more expensive housing tech food etc

It was more about how we in PL have more expensive games on Steam in our currency than it'd be in Euros

[latent mural]

ik and before covid many companies were fined for that

after covid they just dont need a excuse to raise prices anymore

[latent mural]

60€ in france is 6 hours daily work or 2 hours in a off day

[ashen spindle]

seems to work fine in other discords for me

[latent mural]

still thinking

if i should get onepluds buds 3 over soundcore liberty 4nc

[ashen spindle]

testupload

works fine

[latent mural]

cause its IP55 vs IPX4

[fair gull]

new capture card brand?

[latent mural]

4nc is 60€ on amazon atm

[old marlin]

old brand, new market

[latent mural]

enough for gym and etc but not 100% sure in the rain

[ashen spindle]

they made some AiB models for the intel gpus too so I guess they try to get more into consumer pc markets

[latent mural]

meanwhile oneplus buds 3 are dust and waterproof while beating earbuds 4 times the price

[fair gull]

interesting. would be nice to see someone give elgato some comp

[iron wave]

Does anyone know how I can get MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY on my Pixel Fold running AP2A.240605.024 with Magisk 27.0, LSposed 1.9.3_mod, PlayIntegrityFix 17.3 and Tricky Store 1.1.3.

[iron wave]

Different region perhaps?

[fair gull]

you mean https://xdaforums.com/t/module-play-integrity-fix-safetynet-fix.4607985/

that strong integrity?

(and no this doesnt fix it if thats it)

[iron wave]

Yeah, that's what Tricky Box is supposed to do. It allowed me to pass MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY after I installed it.

[fair gull]

i think this fix does work but its not universal

[wild coyote]

"BEFORE YOU START:

• Your ROM must be signed with a private key from maintainer, you can check with this command:
  unzip -l /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip
  If it shows "testkey", you won't pass Device verdict even with valid fingerprint.

• Your kernel localversion must not contain banned strings, run this command:"

[iron wave]

Apparently someone leaked a private key that can be used with Pixels that Google trusts so you don't need to break the hardware or Trust Zone.

[fair gull]

ye was about to say the kernel string is currently smth a lot of people run into

[iron wave]

If that's affecting me it should be affecting stock but I can check.

[fair gull]

the otacert idk what exactly would cause this

[iron wave]

I guess I should probably just ask over on XDA later. Key Attension says my phone is locked at least.

[old marlin]

most recent security key leak was intel

[iron wave]

The hack?

[old marlin]

https://x.com/_markel___/status/1828112469010596347

Mark Ermolov (@_markel___) on X

Intel HW is too complex to be absolutely secure! After years of research we finally extracted Intel SGX Fuse Key0, AKA Root Provisioning Key. Together with FK1 or Root Sealing Key (also compromised), it represents Root of Trust for SGX. Here's the key from a genuine Intel CPU😀

Twitter · Aug 26, 2024, 4:49 PM

[iron wave]

I don't think the CPU vuln counts.

[old marlin]

it's both

[wild coyote]

NOTE: Strong verdict is impossible to pass on unlocked bootloader devices, there are few devices and "exploits" which will allow you to pass it, but, in normal conditions, this verdict will be green only if you are using stock ROM and locked bootloader. The old posts talking about Strong pass was an "exploit" in Google servers, obviously, now it's patched.

[iron wave]

That's from years ago.

[ashen spindle]

it still needs one more step but this is already sounding alarms for some cloud providers

[iron wave]

Everything says TEE in Key Attestation.

[limpid dune]

@storm dagger my case comes in today

[civic dirge]

Guys is it normal that you cant pay with paypal

[ashen spindle]

yes

[civic dirge]

But why

[ashen spindle]

because paypal takes big custs and is in general a bad option for the seller unless they charge extra or are so big they can take cuts elsewhere for it

[storm dagger]

awh shit???? whatcha get

[limpid dune]

alumaze

hmm pure speculation

[crimson wigeon]

Quick time to dig through recent AMD Linux kernel commits

[ashen spindle]

There’s nothing to be gained for these leaks so it’s more pointless than other leaks

Neither performance nor release window

[halcyon moss]

its really saying nothing

ooh memory speeds... who cares.. performance, that is what matters

[quasi hazel]

Hello, I just received my wooting and I have this problem

The keys press themselves

tabs open and close without me touching anything

I have to disconnect the wooting so it stops happening

Could someone help me?

[ashen spindle]

[vagrant pagoda]

Make sure you're not pressing any keys when you plug it in

[quasi hazel]

No, it only happens when I want to configure my wooting
when I open wootility and want to make any movement it goes crazy

[ashen spindle]

Make a post in the section I linked so it’s easier to find if others have the same issue

Someone did some tests with the new windows on a 7800x3d

[vagrant pagoda]

Lmao I saw this reply and thought he asked another person if their pfp was bratz

[gusty kiln]

@unkempt lake 17% improvement on wukong

[vagrant pagoda]

That's impressive

[gusty kiln]

Dashi plays at a higher res though

[vagrant pagoda]

40% in 1% lows is nutz

[gusty kiln]

But should still see improvements

[vagrant pagoda]

That's a massive difference in playability

[gusty kiln]

Yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

Interesting that wulong had the same boost in 1% and average

Means there was a hard bottleneck

Tbo even 17% 1% is big especially with the avg and 1% going up the same

That should scale to high res

[gusty kiln]

Can't wait to see if our 5800x3d will see improvements

If it does, it really do be the modern 2600k

[vagrant pagoda]

Yep

What ram are you running?

[gusty kiln]

Standard 3200cl14 b-die

[vagrant pagoda]

Have you tried pushing flck?

Even 3800 16 would be a jump for you

[gusty kiln]

Nah been lazy and I'm satisfied with current perf

Jeez 3800?

[vagrant pagoda]

I'm running 4000

2k flck is luck though

Most will do 1900 though

1800 is the stock speed limit

I literally got double my ram oc to 1%

[gusty kiln]

What motherboard are you running now?

[late grove]

2 games at wrong resolutions and 3 synthetic benchmark softwares with zero meaning.

I love the tech people online...

[ashen spindle]

you can ignore that test thats someone who just had a really dirty install and the clean install is the bigger reason

[vagrant pagoda]

Same one. The razer

X570 tachi razer

[ashen spindle]

cinebench doesnt gain any benefits from BPU changes and here its 18%? no chance

[gusty kiln]

I thought it borked?

[vagrant pagoda]

I'm running 2 dimms

[gusty kiln]

4 before?

[vagrant pagoda]

I had 4x16 now I am using 2x32

[gusty kiln]

Ahh

[vagrant pagoda]

Straight traded my buddy for the ram

He wanted to upgrade to faster ram and I had gskill royal bide

He bought me the 2x32 and I gave him the 4x16

[devout citrus]

what is the best actual VR for PC?

[vagrant pagoda]

Outside tracking is king if you actually want to enjoy it more than a novelty

[gusty kiln]

Lol I never liked the looks of the royals

[vagrant pagoda]

I remove all my heat spreaders

I slapped them back on for him

New ram is ripjaw 4400cl19 at 4000 16-17-17-17-36

[gusty kiln]

Spicy

[vagrant pagoda]

I have about 20 of artic ram coolers

Best heat spreader ever made

[sudden imp]

Yo is that possible?

[gusty kiln]

Should paint them blond like guy fieri

[vagrant pagoda]

They won't clear just about any dual tower though lol

[reef patrol]

https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
Yes. But you may need a dev build of this to make it work, depending on your version. I had to dig a bit deep to find an unstable one for 24H2

[vagrant pagoda]

Next to P1 for comparison

Mega conkers

[vagrant pagoda]

Top mount heatpipe are bs

They don't help

[gusty kiln]

Kek

[vagrant pagoda]

You need dual heatpipe on the sides

Like my DDR1/2 OCZs

[gusty kiln]

Lol then no side ram clearance unless flat heat pipes

[vagrant pagoda]

They are for 2 dimm usage only

[reef patrol]

Good old days

[vagrant pagoda]

The absolute best ram heat spreader are the OG Mushkin vapor chambers

I'd never risk trying to pull them ogf

[reef patrol]

Or stuff like this. I vaguely recall customs destroying motherboards looking like this.

THE XRAY SAID GUN

[vagrant pagoda]

They have 2 legit vapor chambers

[gusty kiln]

We traded heat fins for rgb

[vagrant pagoda]

But yeah I run the RC pros for like over a decade now

I've either had water cooled and silent or air and silent

So not a lot of airfloow

Same reason I have the big boi m.2 cooler

[runic lion]

Wooting 80HE Module are sold without Detachable USB-C Cable Set ?

All of our keyboards are.

[steep creek]

the detachable set is an optional addon only for aesthetics purposes. module comes with a straight cable

I hate how a channel as large as Linus Tech Tips cant spend the moneyy to hire people to make subtitles for their videos

[reef patrol]

But AI!

[wheat plume]

Its only the YT automatic ones that work with like 60% accuracy

[vagrant pagoda]

Likely if they make them in house they have to meet some regulation

[wheat plume]

huh?

[vagrant pagoda]

There are tones of regulation about accessibility

The bigger you are the more you gotta deal with it

[latent mural]

😭

[vagrant pagoda]

Providing nothing is better than doing it wrong/half ass

[vagrant pagoda]

Crtc has the ability to regulate steaming content

[vagrant pagoda]

Same for mainboards

Remember when high en board had real heatsinks with actual fins?

Instead of slabs of cast aluminum with rbg

[gusty kiln]

High end boards have actual fins now at least

Which is funny because it's usually the mid and low end board with subpar power delivery

[gusty kiln]

Those trx boards with 80mm fans in the

Or maybe smaller

I can't tell

[vagrant pagoda]

40s maybe

Stock CPU coolers are 80 and 90

But yeah I hate how everything things cast/extruded aluminum is modern and stamped + heat pipe is old

[gusty kiln]

[pale sigil]

@reef patrol My SIM conpany want a pic of my ID and explanatiion

That's a lot of porn

[pale sigil]

some 8k, a lot of 4k

[latent mural]

whos an expert on looking at files for nasty malware and loggers

[wild coyote]

if I wanted for the shits and giggles, I could download 5tb porn

[gusty kiln]

Or 1 Cod install

[pale sigil]

well, d2 alone was 125gb lol

Lots of Plex and Netflix too

But plex alone i watched a film that was 35gb

[latent mural]

destiny?

[wild coyote]

use hybrid analysis

[pale sigil]

[latent mural]

i prefer twitter ones

[vagrant pagoda]

?

[pale sigil]

[latent mural]

balders did

idk how u say it

[vagrant pagoda]

333gb of twitter porn is wild

[latent mural]

balders gate 3

[gusty kiln]

Jeez maybe add some transcoding

[pale sigil]

was being sarcastic

[latent mural]

then mid quality vids are tense 😝

[latent mural]

sounds believable

[pale sigil]

did not realise till later, trascode is usually a nono

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but like 2megs a pop

[gusty kiln]

Why?

[latent mural]

i mean they always say the low quality vids hit more

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah thats what im saying

333gb at twitter video bit rate is insane lol

[gusty kiln]

It's like a built in filter

[vagrant pagoda]

homie did 333gb in 2 days

youd have to have like 10 screens with 4 windows each goiing full tilt to hit that XD

[pastel nacelle]

i thought ltt was out of style by now.

[pale sigil]

for real though...

Fortnite: 60gb+
D2: 125gb
Deadlock: 25gb

other games i forgot

i re installed windows so i cant show haha

but its very easy to use so much

[gusty kiln]

Still watchable from an entertainment standpoint

[pale sigil]

some of ltt is fun

[pale sigil]

no

[pastel nacelle]

I thought linus let his wife take over the business and now it feel more like dead channel.

[gusty kiln]

[wild coyote]

I'd fuckin' get myself a 10TB storage box from hetzner, just to connect with my vps for Jellyfin

[gusty kiln]

They do have a new ceo

So it's more corporate now

Linus is now a "chief creative officer"

[pastel nacelle]

She comes off as the typical asian wife who tell me that cars are a silly hobby and I should go back to med school.

[pale sigil]

My dude

stop

[pastel nacelle]

Ok.

[gusty kiln]

Linus has a porche so I don't think that is happening

[vagrant pagoda]

they hiered a ceo

his wife still has the same postion she always has had

[latent mural]

why does that matter

[latent mural]

ultrawide actually 🫢

[gusty kiln]

Super ultrawide is 8 per screen

720p each

[vagrant pagoda]

ive been ultrawide before they made ultrawide

eyefinity/surround for life

[latent mural]

1440p each

[latent mural]

man from future

[gusty kiln]

You cut it in half horizontally for 720p

4 on top and bottom

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

i do 1/3-2/3 horizontally

and my leftmost and right most are 1/3-1/3-1/3

[gusty kiln]

5120×1440 divide by 8 into 16:9 sections

[gusty kiln]

Show me your windows settings display tab

[vagrant pagoda]

in windows it just shows the screens

its display fusion doing the magic

[gusty kiln]

Ah

[gusty kiln]

Is this lifetime or subscription based?

[vagrant pagoda]

one and done

[gusty kiln]

Nice

Rare these days

[vagrant pagoda]

BF makes dope shit

one time buy

https://www.displayfusion.com/Purchase/

[gusty kiln]

Shame unraid and maybe even plex are walking this back a bit

[vagrant pagoda]

plex has lifetime

i have had DF and CF for ages though

[gusty kiln]

There have been rumors

For plex

[digital cliff]

kinda ridiculous you gotta pay for software to have good wallpaper settings on windows

[gusty kiln]

At least keys are dirt cheap nowadays

[latent mural]

its only 5$

[wild coyote]

I mean, wallpaper engine is pretty good, especially when 5 USD for anyone's wallpaper making

[latent mural]

wallpaper engine is worth the 5$

i fw it

[wild coyote]

Not only that, you'd also be able to use the mobile app

[latent mural]

they also have r rated wallpapers

for any

yk

weirdos that want anime tits

[latent mural]

they hage a wallpaper engine mobile app?

[rough osprey]

[wild coyote]

Yep

[latent mural]

where

[wild coyote]

Free to download, but you'll need the paid wallpaper on PC to have custom wallpapers

There should be on Android Play store rn

dunno about ios

[latent mural]

oh nvm, android only

this is why ive prefered android

iphone is shit and i use iphone

cant do jack shit

[wild coyote]

Nothing has changed

Feature wise

[latent mural]

iphones r js safer, but if u use ur phone alot like a gamer

androids r js way better

ive always said android treats you like an admin, iphone treat you like a user

[wild coyote]

Yeahh, you are an admin

My phone says it anyways

[latent mural]

you basically get the accessibility and pc has to an extent

of an*

[vagrant pagoda]

it dose way more than just wallpapers

[latent mural]

^^

[vagrant pagoda]

you can split your screens up, fixes multiscreen taskbars etc

i dont even have a wallpaper

[gusty kiln]

Black background ftw

[latent mural]

i used js a basic anime wallpaper

[latent mural]

ultrawides r rlly shit for customisation tbh

[vagrant pagoda]

if i can see my desktop, im not working hardenough

[vagrant pagoda]

not really

[latent mural]

i mean theres a shitton of wallpapers

but theyre not my taste usually

unlike 1920

[vagrant pagoda]

just use 2 normal ones

[latent mural]

i dont like seeing 2 the same

i wanna see my home screen and it be nice

[vagrant pagoda]

2 different ones duh

[gusty kiln]

Use ai to generative fill the image

[latent mural]

also dont want that

[gusty kiln]

[vagrant pagoda]

lmao

[latent mural]

its an ultrawide not a dual

[vagrant pagoda]

its really just plp

but what ever

[latent mural]

whats plp

[vagrant pagoda]

old school triple monitor setup

[latent mural]

i prefer it looking like an ultrawide like a wallpaper that fits that is js so much nicer in my eyes

[gusty kiln]

Or use a 4k image and crop the portion you like

[vagrant pagoda]

portrait, landscape portrait

[wild coyote]

opinions about my drives?

[gusty kiln]

What about them?

[latent mural]

you mean like a steam profile?

[gusty kiln]

You start with a 4k wallpaper, then crop it to 3440x1440

To fit your screen

[latent mural]

cant i js crop it to 5120x1440

[wild coyote]

Having as much storage as I possibly want is crazy

Even crazier if I start making my own PC into a Gaming PC / server

[latent mural]

50tb

[gusty kiln]

Is it ultrawide for super ultrawide?

[latent mural]

its

[wild coyote]

give me 50euros and I'll get probably another 15TB or so

[latent mural]

like the biggest ultrawide u can buy

except the 2k 52 inch or

however big

57 infh i think

[astral haven]

the 57 is 4k

[gusty kiln]

Oh that one

[latent mural]

its a 49 inch 1440p

but its huge

odyssey g9

[astral haven]

but theres the dumbmness that ltt bought thats about twice as wide

[gusty kiln]

Then a 5k wallpaper

[gusty kiln]

Time for an unraid or zfs server

[latent mural]

okay honestly the standard g9 is big enough

any longer and ur eyes arent fitting

[astral haven]

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

[wild coyote]

The only problem I have with making a server, my internet is weak

Like, really really weak

[vagrant pagoda]

zfs is working to suypport adding drives

[gusty kiln]

You can also vectorize images to make them look better when resized

[vagrant pagoda]

once that comes freenas will be king

[gusty kiln]

Oooo

[astral haven]

which is why you put the server in your house, so you avoid having to get stuff over the internet

[gusty kiln]

1 cat 6 cable is all you need

[wild coyote]

Nonono, you don't get the point. My own internet is 1MB/s and each time I do locally, it's gonna start lagging my side of gaming, browsing, chatting, etc

[gusty kiln]

Linus is also working on HexOS

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/scaletutorials/storage/managepoolsscale/#extending-a-raidz-vdev

[gusty kiln]

? You just need a switch and router

It doesn't use the actual internet

[astral haven]

you really really must have screwed up your connection because the cheapest switches these days do gigabit nonblocking

[wild coyote]

I don't use switches, I just got a DSL router based

[vagrant pagoda]

its live in the 24.10 build

[gusty kiln]

[astral haven]

🤦

[wild coyote]

Sucks to be me

but seriously tho, I've had problems with locally uploading

[astral haven]

just add a switch to your router

[wild coyote]

You think a student that earns 100 euros per month can afford a switch and survive?

[astral haven]

yes

[gusty kiln]

There are like 10 dollar switches

Like 3-4 ports

[wild coyote]

I'm EU

not US

[astral haven]

and there are free switches if you go to any electronic recycling center

[vagrant pagoda]

yes in eu

[wild coyote]

Try finnish stores then

[gusty kiln]

Aliexpress time

[astral haven]

nah, mikrotik time

[wild coyote]

Abso-fucking-lutely not. Customs are a pain

[astral haven]

mikrotik is goated for eu

[vagrant pagoda]

there is zero chance you cant buy a 10 dollar switch anywhere in the first world

[gusty kiln]

If not then just make a DAS

[astral haven]

but even if not, literally go to any recycling center that has an ewaste program, and youll be able to either get for free, or volunteer for an hour or 2 to get a nice 24 or 48 port gigabit managed switch

[vagrant pagoda]

yep

[wild coyote]

they never have as much tech

[vagrant pagoda]

or just the actual dump

ive gotten swtiches out of the metal recycle pile before

[wild coyote]

Not in Finland

[vagrant pagoda]

yes you can

[wild coyote]

How would you know

Cuz I keep checking my guy

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/297521/TP-LINK-TL-SF1005D-5-porttinen-kytkin

12

[wild coyote]

100Mbps

[vagrant pagoda]

and?

[wild coyote]

nahh

getting a gigabit when I get the money

[vagrant pagoda]

dsl isnt faster than that

[astral haven]

12x faster than what you claimed you have

[wild coyote]

router is locally

[astral haven]

yea so i call bs on this

[wild coyote]

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/909619/Cudy-GS105-5-porttinen-kytkin

20 for gig

and thats new

[astral haven]

you cant have it both ways fam
you either have a lan connection, so you can get 100m or gig locally
or you have no lan connection, only a modem, so getting a switch would fix your issue

and upload being 10m is pretty great tbh, my dsl was stuck at 700k up and 2.5m down

[vagrant pagoda]

if thats actual measurement its really good for dsl

[wild coyote]

That's an actual measurement, even tho my router supports gigabit 😭

[vagrant pagoda]

also what router do you have

[wild coyote]

Archer VR400

[astral haven]

🤦 so you already have a gigabit switch built into your router

[vagrant pagoda]

i was banking on that

[astral haven]

you can transfer from one computer to another at 990mbps without touching your internet

[vagrant pagoda]

i was like who even makes a dedicated dsl router in 2024

[astral haven]

altho id bet faster since dsl is never symmetrical

[wild coyote]

if you bothered to see, there's only 1 gigabit port

that's connected to my pc

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah but use that for pc

[astral haven]

3x gigabit lan + 1x gigabit lan/wan

[vagrant pagoda]

and if its ytour modem its all lan

[wild coyote]

Are you looking at the correct router?

[vagrant pagoda]

even if it was 100mbit

[vagrant pagoda]

it wouldnt matter as its free

just hook second pc to other port and use it as server

[astral haven]

this, and still 10x faster than your claim

[unkempt lake]

Probably gonna be less when GPU bound I assume

[iron wave]

Gigabit switches are super cheap.

[vagrant pagoda]

1% is almost never gpu thouigh

[iron wave]

Even if it didn't have multiple Gb ports.

[vagrant pagoda]

fam gotta read the whole discussion

we past swtiches

homie just wants to be right at the expense of facts

[unkempt lake]

Oh it's in 1% lows

Neato

[gusty kiln]

Quin said the results are bad due to fresh vs old windows install

[unkempt lake]

I thought it was in average

[vagrant pagoda]

17% in both average and 1%

[unkempt lake]

Also one thing with the wukong bench

You gotta run it twice

You always get worse 1% lows if you only run it once

[iron wave]

I interpreted the conversation as them complaining about not having enough Gb ports for their networking stuff.

[wild coyote]

No, I just tried to use the other ports and they read 100Mbps instead of a gigabit

This was a while ago as well

[astral haven]

no, they were claiming that they couldnt run a local server because their internet is too slow

[gusty kiln]

Someone just needs to yeet him a $10 switch and all his problems are fixed

Or just go with a DAS

Through usb or something

[vagrant pagoda]

his router has a 4 port swtich

[gusty kiln]

Some kind of texture or shader preloading?

[wild coyote]

I have v2, not v3

[vagrant pagoda]

again it wont limit the speed of your pc anyway

you have a swtich already

[unkempt lake]

Seems like it

[gusty kiln]

Modern AAA and their 4k textures, smh

[astral haven]

^ throw the server on a 100m port and its 100% impossible for the server to impact your internet

and its still 10x faster than your internet connection

fast enough to stream 2 uhd blurays at the same time

[unkempt lake]

The textures fit in 8gb actually

[verbal nimbus]

Then AMD is practically useless unless you’re budgeting under a 4070 super

[gusty kiln]

Damn 13.5 in the worst case

[ashen spindle]

no amd isnt useless because you are not running these presets on anything but a 4090 at best

because your fps in that game absolutely crater

[astral haven]

maybe if the 7900xtx is cheaper than a 4070 super, which souldnt surprise me considering nvidias prices these days

[verbal nimbus]

1440p dlss fg ray tracing you get 70 fps

With a 4070 super in bmw

[ashen spindle]

FG to reach 70fps
hellllll no

that looks so garbage and has the worst input lag

[verbal nimbus]

I’ve seen some comparison videos and I barely notice the difference unless I’m 2 inches away scanning for each pixel

[vapid ruin]

That's surprisingly low, thought it'll be wayy higher.

[ashen spindle]

bruh how do you not notice double the input latency when you are at 30fps

[unkempt lake]

Without RT it does

Unless you're at 4k

[gusty kiln]

Cuz he has only seen videos

70fps with fg means you get like 30-40 actual fps which is already bad, then you increase latency due to FG, thats so painful

[unkempt lake]

I showed what framerate i was getting... the game is fine on an xtx even without framegen

[verbal nimbus]

right now i have the 3060 so i dont have fg available

[astral haven]

hey 40fps with gsync tier framepacing can be ok

[verbal nimbus]

rt very high + optimized is around 50

[ashen spindle]

then you add FG and its no ok anymore

[unkempt lake]

@verbal nimbus

[gusty kiln]

Optimized vs cinematic

[unkempt lake]

There's like 3 settings you can lower slightly and get a nice perf bump outta

[astral haven]

btw ultrawide will consume more vram than the same number of pixels 16:9 since you get a wider fov

[gusty kiln]

Exactly

[unkempt lake]

I know

[rough osprey]

cinematic not limited to 24fps??

sad

[verbal nimbus]

what are you trying to show me

[verbal nimbus]

will nvidia fix it?

[ashen spindle]

fix what? the game?

[verbal nimbus]

or is it something that is a result of fg

reduce the increase input lag

[ashen spindle]

fg inherently introduces latency you cant get rid of that

[astral haven]

wellllll

the way nvidia and amd are doing fg does

but vr headsets are proof that its not required

[verbal nimbus]

i still dont get the reason why anyone would go for amd over nvidia if there budgt is 4070 super and higher

[astral haven]

7900xt and xtx exists

[verbal nimbus]

4070 ti went down and 4080 super is only a little more than xtx

[astral haven]

and nvidias pricing is exactly und exactly as competitive as it needs to be

rn cheapest 4070 ti super is $100 more than the 7900xt, and they are about the same speed (7900xt wins on average by 1-2%)

nvidia has nice features, but you have to pay the nvidia tax

if you dont need the features, you can save the cash

[gusty kiln]

Yeah both nvidia and amd haven't rock the boat with price/perf the past 2 gen

[gusty kiln]

Also a shame they kneecapped the 7900 gre

With slow memory

[astral haven]

🤷 they had to hit specific requirements bc ai competition

and id prefer they neuter something overclockable like memory clock than actually removing chips or something

i realized that i probably could live with just a single dacamp, so i looked up the price of this thing
and wtf its $126 on aliexpress

[delicate wyvern]

hello guys i am having issues with my wooting due to a bad quality usb c cable

what do i need to look for when buying a new one ?

[smoky frigate]

SLUT GPU

SLUT GPU

[vagrant pagoda]

Ruby is no slut!

[gusty kiln]

Yeah it's one of the best value atm

Easy better than all of those mini dac amp with less than half a watt of power

Also adc volume control, so no channel imbalance

[astral haven]

yea
my pot is getting real crusty, makes me very sad

[gusty kiln]

Wd40 won't help?

[astral haven]

probably would, but its kinda scary to take it apart

https://www.thx.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Massdrop-x-THX-AAA-Linear-Amplifier-1024x434.jpg

once of the nicest feeling volume knobs ive ever felt, but holy smokes the performance is bad

[gusty kiln]

Kek, I never heard it. But there was so much hype at the time

[astral haven]

once you get it into a position that doesnt crackle tho? muah

[smoky frigate]

this was the one that got recommended a lot, sad to hear it's already showing age

[gusty kiln]

Measurement chasing really accelerated amp and dac designs

[astral haven]

yep

[astral haven]

i could probably clean it out and get it working like brand new but eh

[smoky frigate]

I mean if my amp from 1988 still works without ever being opened, what excuse does this thing have

[astral haven]

it has holes punched in the top right above the volume pot, and my room is dusty

[gusty kiln]

Wonder what's the meta amp nowadays

The midgard from schiit looks nice

[astral haven]

also your amp from 1988 doesnt have 123db of DR

[astral haven]

its probably still the topping
