Midgard rivals topping

[smoky frigate]

Technics SU-V65A, I dunno, check if you care

[astral haven]

3db of sinad is alot

[gusty kiln]

Technical standpoint, it is. It's like that scene in breaking bad about the purity of meth.

But practically?

[astral haven]

sliiiighly different class of product
advertised thd of best case 0.0009 % vs the thx's 0.000032%
thats 30x worse
advertised snr is 78 vs 136
that is ~256x worse

[wide heron]

hey yall is there a big difference between ddr4 and ddr5 ram for gaming?

[astral haven]

but max power is 7w on the thx vs 700 on the technics lel

[gusty kiln]

78 Snr is actually bad lol

96 is the minimum nowadays

[astral haven]

nah its perfectly fine for a speaker amp

[gusty kiln]

Oh speakers

[astral haven]

"700w"

[gusty kiln]

[astral haven]

ah yes lemme get my 700w headphone amp

[gusty kiln]

Finally something for my he6

People unironically used speaker amps for that headphone

[astral haven]

not 700w ones

[gusty kiln]

I bet some mad lad tried

[astral haven]

the thing maybe wanted 12 watts?

the thing is tho it really needed a ton of volts

[smoky frigate]

well it has a headphone out, but these were usually tacked on

[gusty kiln]

Those headphone out are usually just a resistor tree

I meant people used the speaker out for the he6

[astral haven]

basx a-100 headphone output

[gusty kiln]

Oh yeah that thing had an internal jumper

[astral haven]

yeee

[gusty kiln]

Fullllll pooowwaahhhh

[astral haven]

pop and smoke mode

[gusty kiln]

[astral haven]

anyways did the math, the noise level is twice as high...

[gusty kiln]

Yeah, isn't every 3db is about twice as loud?

[astral haven]

yea im compensating for that

both are inaudible ofc

[gusty kiln]

Oh wait 3db doubles the sound pressure

[astral haven]

but alot of iems these days are insano sensitive

[gusty kiln]

That's true

Gotta have good gain settings

So what are you going to buy carm

Seems like you're itching to buy

[proud herald]

protip: buying used audio gear is OP... everyone thinks they are going to become a musician or producer and buy a home studio setup, end up not using it and then selling it for a fraction of the cost after a year or two, seriously, the marketplace is flooded with barely used audio equipment👌

[astral haven]

im probably just gonna end up replacing my kvm, just getting a l1techs one would probably fix all my issues

i may wd40 my 789 tho

[latent mural]

im getting the r70xs with zendac v3

for gaming and music

[gusty kiln]

What number of displays version are you getting?

[astral haven]

1 display hdmi 2.1

[gusty kiln]

Cuz even the base model is 499

[astral haven]

yea

but ive spent so much on extra surrounding gear to try to make my current kvm work that im running out of "cheap" stuff

[gusty kiln]

At least you recognize the sunk cost fallacy

[latent mural]

facebook marketplace is the king of getting shit cheap

[astral haven]

its a bit late...

[latent mural]

js do collections and you can try rhe quality theres

its like i saw a wooting for over half price less and i mean there was no flaws in it

[foggy linden]

anyone got desk suggestions in the market for one rn

[latent mural]

keys werent ruined, no scratches, i couldve sold it n said it was brand new

[latent mural]

depends on ur budget

[foggy linden]

500

[latent mural]

yeah for a desk for sure

make it urself ofc

[gusty kiln]

Nice adjustable ones are like 300 nowadays

[foggy linden]

why not?

[latent mural]

i mean

couodnt u cop the magnus desk for 500 or is it like 1k

[latent mural]

i mean yeah u can easily grt a solid desk for 500

[foggy linden]

over 500

[proud herald]

2 ikea alex drawers and a ikea countertop

[gusty kiln]

VIVO Electric Height Adjustable 60 x 30 inch Memory Stand Up Desk, Black Table Top with Built-in Concealed Cable Trays and Full-Size Pad, Black Frame, Standing Workstation, DESK-KIT-1B6-P3B https://a.co/d/ev8uumk

[foggy linden]

someone told me that but everyone has that

[latent mural]

if ur into aesthetic buy a solid worktop, buy 2 solid cabinets, and idk abt how to stabalise it n stop it from aliding

[foggy linden]

its solid tho

[latent mural]

yeah what gruff said

[latent mural]

everyone has it because its solid

but make sure u check the wood type

dont get no cheap hollow wood

[foggy linden]

ok

[latent mural]

if u have everything on it, pc, heavy monitor overtime itll js collapse

[foggy linden]

lol

no bueno

[latent mural]

also alot of hand banging

[proud herald]

dont get a tabletop from ikea, get a kitchen countertop in solid wood from them instead

[latent mural]

i rage alot so

[foggy linden]

same

[latent mural]

i dont rlly like ikea

go on facebook marketplace, theres alot of construction dads

[foggy linden]

ok I heard frm like home depot or sum

[proud herald]

and get a adjustable table leg and mount it in the middle towards the back for extra support

[latent mural]

valid

[latent mural]

i built my own standing desk

[foggy linden]

anyone have the wooting 60

[latent mural]

took a while to figure it out

but i managed

[latent mural]

i think thats a bit dumb to say in the official server

[marsh pewter]

I do

[foggy linden]

lol

I ordered mine yesterday

[ashen spindle]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[latent mural]

everyone says wooting doesn't disappoint, and if u look at wooting setups, youll see what ppl do to mod their keyboards

[foggy linden]

is modding it necessary

[ashen spindle]

nope

[latent mural]

not at all

[gusty kiln]

I like mine stock

[foggy linden]

ok

[latent mural]

some ppl like the best gaming boards to fit their aesthetic

sometimes keyboards dont have an aesthetic that fits tbeir style stock so they mod it

that sall

[foggy linden]

does modding make it better in the aspect of like sound and smoothness? or like mechanical modding?

or looks

[gusty kiln]

Lubing helps alot

For smoothness and sounds

[foggy linden]

ok

meh Ill see how I like it

i heard its the best keyboard

[gusty kiln]

Not needed imo since the switch is already pretty smooth

[gusty kiln]

Best for gaming

Other keyboard can feel and sound better

[astral haven]

its pretty nice for productivity too

[latent mural]

honestly its js personal preference, if ur not a keyboard nerd its not rlly
necessary to mod it

but if u wanna do it for aesthetic and idk if u wanna lube it u can

[gusty kiln]

https://youtu.be/yJuZaETp0_4?si=s6EBgBD5Smo1ofqU

[latent mural]

its basically like mercedes vs bmw, quality means less performance, performance means less quality

[gusty kiln]

Full brass keyboard gigachad

[latent mural]

i research too much, im still using a g512 😭

[proud herald]

ive been using mine stock for well over a year. i was never really into mechanical keyboards to begin with tho, i went from cherry mx reds to 60he

[latent mural]

i prefer silent switches but theres none with rapid trigger so

🥹

idk if i need rapid trigger tho

i dont play cs but i play driving games and games similar to battlefield and cod

[proud herald]

you need rapid trigger

[gusty kiln]

Silent HE switches would be cool

[latent mural]

apparently theyre coming out soon

[gusty kiln]

Oh nice

Hopefully the plastic they use won't be too mushy

[latent mural]

i dont need snaptap n rlly thats the only reason id ever go for wooting so instead im getting something like akko or idk whatever comes to mind

[proud herald]

getting a rapid trigger keyboard is like going from 60hz to 144

[gusty kiln]

Get a racing wheel of you don't already have one

Though rapid trigger might help with cod with the adhd movement they have in that game

[digital cliff]

buying used anything is OP

saving up to half on anything

[gusty kiln]

https://wccftech.com/msi-most-powerful-am5-motherboard-amd-ryzen-9000-cpus-meg-x870e-godlike/

Chonk, 8 usb-c ports

[astral haven]

only 8? asrock has 10

[gusty kiln]

5 m.2

[gusty kiln]

Which one again?

[astral haven]

taichi aqua

[gusty kiln]

Lol I missed the 2 at the bottom

Thought they were regular type a

[astral haven]

type a? what is that legacy bs, cant have any of that

[late grove]

More Godlike memes

Tbh Godlike is the board that I am always excited for the most in new launches just so I can laugh at it.

[trim crane]

i actually like this if they include adapters

[late grove]

And then laugh at myself.

[astral haven]

its the godlike and the aqua, you can buy your own cables, and you can get them the right length for yourself

screw adapters

[gusty kiln]

8 USB Type-C Ports (2x 40Gbps, 1x 20 Gbps, 5x10 Gbps)

That's the breakdown the of usb-c

[astral haven]

asrock is 2x40 4x10 4x5

[gusty kiln]

Damn 2x40 is nice

[proud herald]

all my peripherals comes with usb-a cables😟

[astral haven]

these motherboards are a grand

if you can afford them, you can afford new cables

[vagrant pagoda]

they do say multi gpu again

wonder if sli/cfx will come back

[astral haven]

nah its for ai now, no interconnect needed

[late grove]

Ah right, so they are also going USB C only but only managed to fit 8 in there.

[ashen spindle]

Ai needs vram capacity more than low latency

microstutters for LLMs dont matter

[vagrant pagoda]

who is running a desktop with dual gpu for ai?

[ashen spindle]

its what the vendors think people will do

doesnt mean it will happen

[astral haven]

and its generally good enough for most consumers to be able to run llama 70b tier

running at 4b precision its still 35GB, so doesnt quite fit on single consumer gpu

[latent mural]

see u guys are so annoying, why are u teasing me so much

this is like

Its like a must and im like ahhh

[vagrant pagoda]

unless you get taobao 4090s with 48gb

[latent mural]

I have to sacrafice such a nice switch

to use rapid trigger

😭

[astral haven]

thats enthusiast not consumer gpu

[proud herald]

nvidia B200 192gb vram💀

[astral haven]

also dual gpu still just about twice as fast since its mem bandwidth limited for single user

[latent mural]

Whats ab200

[gusty kiln]

Ai gpu

[astral haven]

a gpu that probably costs around 60k usd

[late grove]

Weak

[latent mural]

is it good tho

[ashen spindle]

no it costs 60k and is bad

[astral haven]

it is 100% unable to render games

[gusty kiln]

For ai, it's the best

[vapid ruin]

Me

[latent mural]

if its bad for gaming i dont want it

[ashen spindle]

you cant buy it anyway

[latent mural]

Ill js stick to the 4090

[latent mural]

11£ delivery btw

[ashen spindle]

thats not b200

[gusty kiln]

Almost purely b2b

[astral haven]

yea but you could sell it, buy a car and a complete gaming pc with a 4090

[ashen spindle]

whatever that listing is is fake, b200 doesnt exist yet lmao

[latent mural]

Poissibly but i got the 4090 free so

[gusty kiln]

From da futureeeeeee

[vapid ruin]

4070tiS and a 3090. It runs 30b but not quite 70b

[astral haven]

id much prefer to get a b200 for free than a 4090

[latent mural]

u can pay with paypal

or 500k

😭

[astral haven]

delivery will be like 6 months or a year tho

[latent mural]

or like inf?

[gusty kiln]

Are b200 water cooled?

[astral haven]

pretty sure scan is a legit company

[ashen spindle]

cool I dont care what shows, nvidia hasnt delivered any final release blackwell silicon so the listing is moot

[latent mural]

3090s are actually bargains on marketplace rn

[late grove]

Here 3080s are much better deal.

[astral haven]

wellllllll
devs have them now 4 sure

[late grove]

The VRAM fearmongering isn't fully over yet.

[ashen spindle]

those arent final release steppings

[astral haven]

for ai vram matters alot more

[ashen spindle]

ofc ES/QS samples are out

[late grove]

And who cares about AI?

[latent mural]

actually ai is ruining alot of things

[late grove]

Exactly.

[smoky frigate]

SCAMMERS

[latent mural]

Some guy lost his website design job over ai

[astral haven]

openai and whoever doesnt gaf, the ai companies can run whatever they want in production to burn as much money as possible while they still can

[ashen spindle]

yes and we went over this

[proud herald]

imagine how many jobs have been replaced by a single guy with microsoft excel over the years😭

[ashen spindle]

they are not giving out b200 3 months after h200 is out for the first blade

[latent mural]

I got this new mouse today and its a huge upgrade from the g502 hero, and i havent actually played an fps game yet

ive js been waving it areound the screen

the clicks feel so premium tho

[proud herald]

what did you get?

[latent mural]

beast x mini

I had to change my hand grip position because i struggled to grip how big my small hands the g502 was

[late grove]

Nice. And I just moved from Beast Mini.

[latent mural]

I honestly fw it

Like is there any downfalls besides battery

[late grove]

There are no downsides. But you can go lighter.

[astral haven]

1. nvidia is selling more than just dgx systems even if they are trying to avoid it
2. 6 months prior to launch is about right

[proud herald]

i got the viper v3 last week, i like it so far

[latent mural]

did u do the zero mouse or something

[ashen spindle]

you dont give out final release silicon 6 months prior to launch

[late grove]

HSK

[latent mural]

whats that

[latent mural]

I dont think id like that

[astral haven]

strawman
you know full well i mean dev boxes that they are using to inference faster

[latent mural]

It would ruin the aesthetic imo

[late grove]

You don't think until you actually try it.

[latent mural]

So is it good

[late grove]

I would not have moved from Beast Mini if it wasn't good.

[ashen spindle]

yes and the argument started about how you cant buy it yet since final release silicon isn't out yet and you wont be buying any DGX or other boxes with ES silicon 🤷‍♂️

[late grove]

I am a full believer in lighter = better, everything else be damned. So I am now eargerly waiting for the V2 which is said to be less than 19 grams.

[proud herald]

i have the zaunkoenig mk2 but i prefer viper v3

[latent mural]

Why dont u js get the zero mouse

[astral haven]

if you havent already bought it now, you wont receive one within the first year of production

[livid ruin]

what can i use to change the rgb of my pc?

[late grove]

I believe it was sold out long ago. And I also do not want to bother buying a DYI kit, then another mouse then tryin to transplant the PCB from one shell to another.

[livid ruin]

arctic cooling rtx 3080 and lian li fans

[late grove]

Signal RGB or OpenRGB

[latent mural]

I js use rgb

[proud herald]

is there any 3d printable version similar to the zero mouse using viper v2 internals worthwhile?

[late grove]

🤷‍♂️

[steep creek]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp87F6gczGw

pretty impressive 6 months in

[proud herald]

people that stress-test brand new expensive gear are the real ones👌

[livid ruin]

what uses the least on the background

[late grove]

🤷‍♂️

[livid ruin]

what do you use?

[late grove]

Neither.

[vagrant pagoda]

disabling rgb XD

[livid ruin]

how do i even do that

[late grove]

I am using MSI Center and Master++ as I don't really have a choice.

But I will fix that eventually.

[rough osprey]

do you wanna change it whole time or just set it to one setting

[livid ruin]

1 setting white

just one collor

[rough osprey]

you could make openrgb start when you start your pc, apply the profile and close automatically

while keeping the setting applied

[livid ruin]

how?

but open rgb and singal rgb aint no virus or miners righT,

[rough osprey]

windows task planner

[rough osprey]

nah

[livid ruin]

KK

i dont know tbh how

[rough osprey]

i can send you the settings i use later

[late grove]

We doin peak audiophilia here.

[astral haven]

not even modded ksc75? smh

[late grove]

Too expensive. My budget for cans is 9.76$

[astral haven]

nah, ksc75 setup aint audiophile until you have spent 100x on source gear and modding vs the ksc75 themselves

[livid ruin]

i cant wait when my 560s get here

[late grove]

Hmm yeah this source gear does indeed add up to be about 100x more than KSC75.

[livid ruin]

and i can plug them into my pc

[late grove]

How much did you pay for the 560s?

[astral haven]

yea but it aint a real ksc75 setup until youve harvested a grado for the pads or some bs like that

[steady sail]

i cant wait to get my hands on Predator XB273U V3 this

I have seen the future - And it SUCKS.
But now I am prepared with UI fixes.

[ashen spindle]

nah future is using the ltsc

[reef patrol]

I don't buy into LTSC until people show it's game safe.
I cba to deal with "oh this thing isn't available on LTSC, please reinstall your entire OS to play gaem" stuff

[ashen spindle]

fair enough

My 24h2 just finished, so im doing my testing phase now

[reef patrol]

If nothing else I've learned one thing. Stardock still can't do UI stuff properly. And Explorerpatcher hides the good shit.

Meanwhile i'll just do the patch and see it for myself lol

[sudden imp]

Oh no the windows updates prepare

What’s going to happen? One drive being reinstalled? Co-pilot being re enabled?

[ashen spindle]

nothing because its just a backported BPU update change

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/08/microsoft-donates-the-mono-project-to-the-wine-team/

This is ... interesting, to say the least
Wonder what the motive is from Microsoft

[umbral heron]

Microsoft will migrate from mono to .NET on Linux, and slowly try to kill Mono
They just took whatever was useful from it to .NET and now getting rid of it

[ashen spindle]

yeah that

its basically deprecated

[wheat plume]

So ....
Mono is basically useless?

[ashen spindle]

more or less

[mild dome]

So what is it used for now? just backwards compatibility?

[wheat plume]

Wow
Thanks, Microsoft /s
This is basically them just saying fuck you to Linux
Here, have this useless project now that we no longer want it

[ashen spindle]

you can never be happy can you

do you want them to shut it down instead?

if they had no use and would just waste time keeping it wine would not have taken it

[wheat plume]

Fair

[sudden imp]

Honestly I’m surprised windows even gave their “trash away”

[wheat plume]

To Linux too
Ikr

Actually
This could be a big help for unity games

[ashen spindle]

then you need to get with the times balmer isn't ceo since a decade anymore

[wheat plume]

I know you need mono to mod Distance

[ashen spindle]

unity is moving away from mono in the future

[sudden imp]

RIP

[wheat plume]

Yes
But they still don't care to help out in any positive way

[ashen spindle]

no thats a good thing

[wheat plume]

They are taking over Canonical basically by being a major donator so they get a majority say on what happens to Ubuntu

And each new realize
Ubuntu gets worse and worse
Which ruins Linux reputation cause the distro that everyone knows is getting worse by the year

[ashen spindle]

do you want them instead to not do something like WSL and push for windows server so they fight it even more instead of trying to co exist?

[wheat plume]

At least Canonical are slowly easing down on forcing snaps upon Ubuntu users if they decided to use apt to install the native version of a package instead

[umbral heron]

I'd say Ubuntu is pretty good nowadays for general use, just not for gaming

[wheat plume]

Does the current lts no longer redirect apt commands to install snaps instead of native packages?

Or is that gonna be in the next LTS?

[umbral heron]

I mean you can just apt-get remove --purge snapd && apt-mark hold snapd and we happi

[wheat plume]

Yes
But a lot of the users who use Ubuntu are new to Linux
And won't know how to do that

[umbral heron]

I mean
For your average user does it matter if they use Firefox from snap or apt?

[wheat plume]

Yes
When they wonder why it takes 30 seconds for the snap package to launch ...

[late grove]

Why would a game complain about LTSC?

[wheat plume]

Maybe cause it might not have the latest GPU drivers?
Idk what else it could be

Most games require the most recent drivers these days
If you play AAA anyway

[umbral heron]

It's good to have newest drivers anyways
So many fixes coming with each update

[wheat plume]

Yeh
I keep mine updated
Well
My distro does ☺️

It just downloads the new driver once it hits the repo

[late grove]

Last time I remember drivers do not care about what version of Windows you are running outside of edge cases.
I am on Windows 10 from 2022 atm.

Or 2021

Not sure.

[wheat plume]

Yeh cause the new drivers still support 10
It's literally the same OS as 11 just with a different file explorer build to make the desktop be how it is

[umbral heron]

Arch me beloved

[wheat plume]

Fedora me beloved 💜

[late grove]

I am on 22H2 which apparently is the latest. Shit makes me wonder how much bloat those random updates bring.

[balmy vector]

Tried the finals on 24h2 since its the only competitive fps game i had on hand, lost performance with that game specifically so far

[umbral heron]

The Finals haven't died yet?

[late grove]

It has

[balmy vector]

Not officially

[sudden imp]

Is 24h2 done yet?

[balmy vector]

Nah, gotta use insider

[sudden imp]

Ah

[wheat plume]

I haven't been following new Windows features in a while tbh
Not since 21h2

I should see if there is a video that shows all the changes

[balmy vector]

Probably

[umbral heron]

Imagine
Intel trying so hard on 13th and 14th gen to compete with Ryzens, increasing power to ridiculous limits

And it turns out Ryzens were nerfed the whole time

[wheat plume]

Anyone know if they added the virtual desktop slide animation back?

[lavish sun]

Can someone tell me the difference between these two? I'm quite stupid sry

[wheat plume]

Ryzen was nerfed on Windows 11 since it's launch ....
The first few 11 updates tanked AMD performance

[umbral heron]

60HE+ is pre-assembled, full keyboard
Module is PCB kit, with no keycaps, switches or case

[wheat plume]

It got so bad it that there was a theory going around that Intel paid Microsoft to optimize 11 just for Intel CPUs

[umbral heron]

I'm so happy I haven't used Windows 11 at all

[umbral heron]

Wouldn't be the first time

[lavish sun]

One question is it better to get the other version?

[wheat plume]

The sad part is
I like the new pre-installed app changes on 11
Notepad with tabs 💜
File Explorer with tabs 💜

Welcome to the features Linux had for decades

[balmy vector]

The new task manager icon is tripping me out though i wont lie

[wheat plume]

Yeh :/

I ain't used to it

[ashen spindle]

wasnt that wrong information that it tanked amds performance and just someone using wrong updates int he first week? dont remember

[umbral heron]

They are the same
Just get module if you want to assemble keyboard by yourself and you have other switches, keycaps and case
If you want a full keyboard, ready to go after unpacking, get just 60HE+

[wheat plume]

Nah I noticed a hit on my desktop too

It was a widespread problem

[lavish sun]

So I need to put it in myself that's it? No difference

[umbral heron]

They are the same, yes

[wheat plume]

You need to already have switches, case and keycaps if you get the module
Module is for if you wanna customize the board and not have the leftover default case and whatnot laying about afterwards

[lavish sun]

Okey ty I will get the module one since it's quite expensive but I heard good about it. I got myself the small version but I want a full sized keyboard

[umbral heron]

Keep in mind you need switches, case and keycaps then too

[ashen spindle]

ah right it was preferec core issues so it was only relevant for the 12 and 16 core cpus so your cpu likely wasnt affected by the early win11 issues

[lavish sun]

😣 oof

[wheat plume]

Hmm
Maybe
Then idk
I did have less performance
That's for sure

[umbral heron]

Module is for people, who want to make their own custom keyboard, so they don't have to buy case etc. they won't use anyways

[ashen spindle]

12 cores is not 12 threads

the issue was about dual ccd chips not single ccd

[lavish sun]

Yea I get it now

[wheat plume]

Yeh I know.
Im saying I had performance loss on 11 early on... But this is not why

[lavish sun]

It's still expensive holy even setting the language to German it coast for me 200

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/nBTiQkamu3Y?si=AiuJ02HPa3L7zJ8H

Wow, apparently they missed the mark again? It’s a worse Phanteks nv5.

[umbral heron]

You're getting premium segment keyboard after all

[sudden imp]

Icue link is turning out to be a bit of a wash imo

[ashen spindle]

its 200 but you wont find the same quality for less than 300 anywhere else basically

[lavish sun]

Yea true. The default setting is like an regular keyboard right. Buying that for OSU rapid trigger but in other games it would affect a lot lol

[umbral heron]

If you want something cheaper there's also UwU

[lavish sun]

I got that already

But want a 60% version

[wheat plume]

If you just want it for OSU
Get the UwU instead and use you current board too

[lavish sun]

Keyboard

Since my old keyboard broke xD

[wheat plume]

Oh...xd

[lavish sun]

My little cousin using a old keyboard so I will give him my uwu

And buy a 60% sized keyboard

[wheat plume]

Aha

[lavish sun]

I split ice tea on my keyboard 😧😭

It works but feels so ass

[pastel nacelle]

This sounds weird but can I ask for a tablet too for OSU? Or only wooting stuff

[pastel nacelle]

a tablet?

[lavish sun]

Yes

[pastel nacelle]

bambu

[umbral heron]

You should be able to get used CTH-470/CTL-470 for 10€ or so, good old stuff

[pastel nacelle]

theres this neat table

that allows you to use a stylus thats also a pen

[lavish sun]

The budget doesn't matter

[pastel nacelle]

for drawing with friction

[lavish sun]

I want a pretty good one since I used middle budget

Like star g640

[pastel nacelle]

[cosmic thunder]

ctl 472 pen nibs are wearing too fast

[lavish sun]

Okey thanks

That was my next question

xD

[umbral heron]

What are you doing with those that they're wearing out fast?

[cosmic thunder]

circle clicking

[lavish sun]

What about the scratches

[cosmic thunder]

i patched a foxbox tablet cover

[lavish sun]

I see

Just anything?

My old one is kinda a mess since it got a lot of scratches

So annoying

[cosmic thunder]

yeah without the cover ctl 472 scratches a lot

[lavish sun]

Is there anything good on Amazon?

[cosmic thunder]

sory i bought it on the wacom online shop, so idk

[lavish sun]

Could u show me yours if u don't mind

[vagrant pagoda]

20+gb models make multigig fiber feel slow

[umbral heron]

I found used Fiio K5 Pro for 80€

[vagrant pagoda]

you can get knock offs on aliexpress for like 40 usd

[gusty kiln]

pretty decent

[umbral heron]

Cheap

[gusty kiln]

I personally have the Fiio K7 and really like it

[umbral heron]

I have KA17 dangling from mic arm

[gusty kiln]

heh nice

KA17 has 650 mw, can it be used as a desktop device?

650mw @ 32 ohm is not that bad

[steady sail]

Oh true any okay or good usb microphones and mic arms

[gusty kiln]

can power most things

[umbral heron]

Sure, but that's on balanced

[gusty kiln]

yeah

[umbral heron]

270mW on good ol 3.5

[gusty kiln]

just get a balanced cable for whatever headphone you get

[umbral heron]

Nah, me M50xs work wonderfully with these
But I'm looking to get some nice open-backs, and I doubt it'll be enough then

[umbral heron]

Blue Snowball
It's not good, but it's cheap

[gusty kiln]

the edition XS are 18 ohm and 92db/mw

[steady sail]

right now im using an Auna 900B mic

thats even cheaper than the snow ball

[gusty kiln]

92 is kinda low, but not that hard to power, especially at 18 ohms

I say get the headphone first, then an amp/dac

if it is not loud enough

[umbral heron]

You may be right

[astral haven]

2x power is alot, might be worth to just get a replacement cable

the thx 78 circuit is pretty incredible

[umbral heron]

I'm still eyeing these LCD-2Fs, they are so comfortable and beautiful

[gusty kiln]

"The LCD-2F are surprisingly efficient, especially for a planar magnetic. Their voltage sensitivity (which is a useful guide for knowing how they'll respond to a given volume setting on an amp) is rated at 0.225 Vrms for 90 dB SPL"

[astral haven]

heres the edition xs required power for 110 db

[gusty kiln]

granted it doesn't hurt to have headroom, but I think you already have plenty

[proud herald]

DT 770's for lyfe👌

[umbral heron]

Aight, so 4.4 to 2.5 with balanced cable and we happy

Ah, wait, it has 4.4

[astral haven]

even better

[umbral heron]

Best nugget

[balmy vector]

Perfect wooting cable

[astral haven]

it seems that thing can hit 118db on the edition xs
dont think youll need more headroom than that...

https://www.brothersfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/noise-levels.png

[gusty kiln]

the LCD2F are also good headphones, but would suggest a pad swap to go along with it

[proud herald]

out of curiosity, what's the latency of everyones audio interfaces/headphoneDAC's?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, you sent me video about them iirc

[astral haven]

pretty much everything is 10ms thanks to buffering

[gusty kiln]

should be nearly 0 unless something fucky is going on

audio streamers do have noticeable lag

but doesn't matter for music listening

I want these
https://shop.zmfheadphones.com/products/atrium?srsltid=AfmBOoomymdsA0pIZ-P1LSM9-vI6LeJ2csdnOGAibt-VY8JVs2ik5j54

but it's about 1 grand more than what I am willing to spend on headphones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00IndLF8ETA

[proud herald]

imma buy a Stradivarius violin and reclaim the wood into a pair of headphones... ultimate endgame👌

[steady sail]

https://www.maono.com/products/maono-pd100x-usb-xlr-dynamic-microphone-for-game-streamers?variant=41665189281857 does this sound too good to be true imo

[proud herald]

what about it seems too good to be true?

[steady sail]

the whole thing and the price

[proud herald]

yes-ish... in some youtube videos it sounds great and in others it doesn't🤷‍♂️

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWYUSx8P8q4&t=225s yikes💀

[thin axle]

Oh man. I was just about to buy that!!!

[sudden imp]

There are many great alternatives mics lol

[slim crag]

with the wooting does anyone know if there is a way to customize the volume up and down button so it used on a specific window/app... if thats not a feature i think would be a nice qol addition if its possible

[final flame]

that wouldn't be possible without a constantly running application

[slim crag]

ah ok

[digital cliff]

yeah either you need a background service or an actually good OS that lets you do that by default

[thin axle]

I think he is referring to windows sound mixer.

[final flame]

yea, there's no way to interface with it soley with the keyboard

[digital cliff]

which doesn't seem to have a way to control it apart from clicking the little sliders I think

[final flame]

and specifically, there's no keycodes that can be used to interface with it

assuming you don't want something constantly running in order to interface with it

[thin axle]

I think he wants macro keys like this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Ws6r5oNwul8&t=38

[final flame]

this is done with a external application

[thin axle]

Hurray! 😄

Dang, he wants 9 euros.

[slim crag]

yeash was talking abt something like that, turning down specific apps, didnt know if it was possible with the base wooting tho

[final flame]

Keyboards are very dumb devices, the keyboard has no idea what it is sending to the computer
what it does send is, keycodes. Keycodes correspond to keys based on the language layout you have set on the computer
Wootility does not run in the background, therefor it has no way of interfacing with the PC outside of whatever the keycodes or controller inputs it has available to it

[thin axle]

You can always submit a feature request for software like the one shown. I dunno if they'd write one, seems like it'd have to work on multiple operating systems.

[final flame]

if it was to be implemented it would be done on wootomation, not wootility

https://wooting.io/wootomation

[proud herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuzfodidM4Y still relies on running software but looks pretty nice

[vagrant pagoda]

[pale sigil]

Do I send my data sim provider my ID and a reason for my sudden increase in bandwidth or do I just buy another.

The only issue with the latter is they may have blocked my phone.

[steep creek]

idk how its for you but i have to show my id everytime i want to make a change to the plan anyways

[ashen spindle]

helllllll no you at best tell them you're in the hospital and if they lock you out or anything you will instantly switch provider

they dont need to know or care if you use more bandwidth and certainly dont need an id for that

[steep creek]

thats an option too

[lyric hatch]

True

I'm guessing the hospital wifi sucks, I was lucky during my stay it wasn't so bad my ward was mainly full of 65+ years olds though

[pale sigil]

I would just buy another esim from them but I suspect they blocked my phone vs account.

And other providers are like nearly double

Or contracts

My current one wouldn't start till next month either

[ashen spindle]

still sounds like you should kindly threaten them to fuck off and just let you use what you paid for

https://youtu.be/xKLKl3H9rro

She really hated the Quick Toggles

damn, Nothing OS 3's new design looks similar to OnePlus design

I wonder why?!?!?!

[wild coyote]

I wonder why as well

Old phone btw

[wheat plume]

XD

[wild coyote]

Oneplus Nord CE 2 lite

[wheat plume]

this looks like MIUI more than Nothing

[wild coyote]

real

Cuz the newer android

Or whatever the fuck reason they re-done the UI

I do wanna get Nord 4

But no money no honey

[wheat plume]

My friend in America was looking to upgrade from old phone a while back, that phone still had Android 8 on it....

he asked me to help pick one and gave me a budget as a limit
so I went onto various websites in america to see what choices there were and I picked one of the OP Nord phones, seems real good for the price and fit into his budget
He gets it
Really likes it

Then a few weeks ago, he finds out OnePlus is a Chinese company and now hes looking to sell the phone and get something not Chinese....

[wild coyote]

💀

[wheat plume]

yeah 🤦‍♀️

[wild coyote]

I hope he knows that Oneplus is one of a kind chinese company that doesn't sell data with public knowledge

[wheat plume]

he thought it was a European company

[wheat plume]

Not too sure....

but probably not

I didnt even know that tbh

[wild coyote]

They ain't Xiaomi

If they made a foldable phone that didn't fail on launch, already better than Samsung

[nimble canopy]

Its a phone company they are collecting data

[wild coyote]

Phone manufacturing company*

And the only data being collected would be google

[wheat plume]

I really dislike Huawei's password reset process if you happen to forget your password

you need to get sent a code via text, enter it, fill out a capcha, fill out 2 security questions, type in a password you remember using, then give them the SERIAL NUMBER of the last phone you logged in on

WHOM'ST'TF knows their damn SN?!

[ashen spindle]

its phone company so they collect data, it's a chinese company so they are almost guaranteed to have a party cell to have someone from the ccp in it

[wheat plume]

Yeah, they are required to give data to CCP
All Chinese companies are

[wild coyote]

ccp can kiss my ass, all they'll get is fuck all

[wheat plume]

You reminded me of the RukaRukaAli parody about the CCP :')

[wild coyote]

Tbh, they still gotta follow EU laws

[long wren]

HELLO GUYS WHATS FASTER FOR AD AD STRAFE AD SPAM OR HOLD ONE KEY AND SPAM THE OTHER (WITH SOCD)

[wheat plume]

Xiaomi have an entire build just for the devices they sell in EU

[wild coyote]

Didn't xiaomi get exposed for something?

[wheat plume]

Not sure

[wild coyote]

They did

In 2020

[wheat plume]

what happened?

[ashen spindle]

you have to be more specific for what, they didnt just have one issue over the years

[wild coyote]

Apparently they decided to feel cute and collecting more data than usual ig

[wheat plume]

Oh, the default browser that no one outside of China uses? xd

[wild coyote]

I think all browsers

[frozen ingot]

no use arguing this with hiyori, they'll keep simping for those ccphones

[wheat plume]

:') nah, if a serious problem occurs, I will talk about it

but data privacy...that shit happens on any phone these days :/

[wild coyote]

even with apple

[wheat plume]

and especially if you have facebook appsor google installed

^ yes

[wild coyote]

time to download custom roms

[wheat plume]

Apple just arent disclosing it

[wild coyote]

[nimble canopy]

At leat with custom android ROMs you can reduce it

[wheat plume]

If you go full GrapheneOS, you pretty much fully stop it

unless you use MicroG to login with a google account on it

[wild coyote]

Honest opinion, Nokia fr top tier

[wheat plume]

Sure, if they provided a proper update cycle ;-; you get one, maybe 2 android version upgrades?

Same for Sony, their phones are hella pricey and they only offer 2 Android upgrades

[wild coyote]

However, their G42 phones are pretty good for repairability

[ashen spindle]

The device was also recording what folders he opened and to which screens he swiped, including the status bar and the settings page. All of the data was being packaged up and sent to remote servers in Singapore and Russia, though the Web domains they hosted were registered in Beijing.
I don't think if they track what folders you use that its only affecting their browsers lel

[nimble canopy]

I am but with sand boxed gplay so not completely gone

[wheat plume]

sandboxed is fairly ok tbh

can only access what you allow it to

[wild coyote]

But seriously tho, Nokia G42 is good for easy repairs and cheap too

30 euros for a battery replacement with a kit included

[wheat plume]

Thats what I do on desktop for youtube and youtube music :') I isolate both of them into their own applications away from the main browser

[wheat plume]

o very neat :D

do they offer an update cycle to go along with that???

no point keeping the phone longer than the battery wears out if you are running 3 or more versions of Android out of date IMO

[wild coyote]

Apparently G42 are one of the Nokia models to get an Android 15 update "most likely"

[frozen ingot]

I just assume there's no privacy anywhere anymore

[wheat plume]

^ yeah same here

[wild coyote]

They give 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security

Seems decently standard

[wheat plume]

thays less time than the battery will take to become worn out 😅

no point being able to easily replace it in that case, but still nice to see, maybe if there are custom ROM that can keep it updated beyond those 3 years, then its worth it

[wild coyote]

Depending on how well you take care of the battery, or how stable that lithium battery is

The only downside with Nokia, they disabled bootloader unlock

[wheat plume]

Do Nokia phones get supported by custom ROMs, I know Xiaomi phones are very well supported, mainly cause unlocking the bootloader doesnt void your warranty as long as you use the warranty for an issue NOT caused by the custom ROM

[wheat plume]

🤦‍♀️

BRUH, nah fuck that then

[wild coyote]

Very disappointing xd

[wheat plume]

Xiaomi let you unlock it, they even make a tool to do just that

[wild coyote]

There is a prototype by someone that allows bootloader unlock

[wheat plume]

though you can do it the manual way too if you are more used to it

[wild coyote]

I do want a newer oneplus phone

and shove a custom rom

cuz mine doesn't have as many options as the rest

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/I-E0CmCWsjo

this is a pretty interesting idea

Tall aspect ratio too, 3:2, the smaller size one is 16:10

[ashen spindle]

great now more ai grift coming to monitors..

[sharp badger]

There's a few monitors that have had that, yes

[ashen spindle]

60hz
okay, next attempt please

[wild coyote]

@wheat plume tbh I can't even root my phone, cuz I'm gonna have to deal with my bank apps blocking me due to root

Happened before, most likely will again

[fair gull]

coding monitor
grift me more pls

[ashen spindle]

tbh it had to come, gamer screens are outdated, now with ai and more peopel doing coding it's the new hot market to scam people

[sudden imp]

Ai ready monitor!1!!1’

[sharp badger]

Also isn't the LG Dualup better for that?

[ashen spindle]

yes

so they just add a "coding" preset to make it sound cute so you can switch to dark or light theme aka have two brightness presets and give it a name and now pay money for it

big innovation!

[crimson wigeon]

I'll have 10!

My new monitor arrived.

And I am sending it back because VRR is broken. Again.

[wheat plume]

Yeh :/
That's the main issue most people don't root

[wild coyote]

There were bypasses, but those bypasses are gone due to the creator being hired by google

Which is wild to fuck over the community

[wheat plume]

Nah
He still maintains Magisk

[wild coyote]

Just not the bypasses

SafetyNet is a bitch

[wheat plume]

Yeh :/
I remember one time using a custom ROM
Unrooted btw
No root access at all

And bank app didn't wanna work cause it thought I was rooted

So I had to root my phone
Then try to hide the root...
Then it worked fine

🤦‍♀️

[wild coyote]

All I know, Play Integrity Fix basically an updated version for SafetyNet, as SafetyNet fix is obsolete

IDM who owns intc that much, as long as the upper mgmt is good. If they keep funding FABS meanwhile keeping design teams thats nice. If AVGO can afford to put $$ into fabs thats great less loan for INTC 😄

I'd prob receive AVGO shares or get bought out at shit price which would suck

[ashen spindle]

and as a consumer when you consider how much vmware users are getting shafted left and right?

[fickle ore]

Oh they own vmware, havent really looked at what broadcom does lol

[gusty kiln]

Earnings today

[ashen spindle]

they bought vmware and everyone that uses vmware hates it now

[fickle ore]

rips

[ashen spindle]

they fired people in the middle of them explaining stuff to their customers that used it, stopped the educational uses etc.

[fickle ore]

Yeah feels like recession in most companies atm without consider for customers

They only have 11B on hand hmm

[fickle ore]

yikes

[gusty kiln]

Will nvidia pull another 20+ billion quarter?

[cedar fog]

dude

i've been waiting for intel to drop more

ima buy a lot of it

[fickle ore]

xD

[gusty kiln]

Back under 20 today due to macro

[ashen spindle]

whats it going to be for nvidia? crashing to 115 or jumping to 135?

[fickle ore]

10€ bets?

[cedar fog]

doubt

[wild coyote]

I would wanna go into trading, but I don't trust my bank as all investments there are horse shit

it's wild

[fickle ore]

ima call it $99

[ashen spindle]

no way it drops that low

[cedar fog]

if you invest into s&p 500 you're almost guaranteed 10% yearly growth

[wild coyote]

That's the problem, I can't invest shit on my own bank unless it's a specific nordic company or sum

[fickle ore]

what country

[wild coyote]

Finland

[gusty kiln]

I can see an initial hype to 150 them level back to 130+ if ER are good

[fickle ore]

noob

[fickle ore]

OP:ssa kaikki hyvät ja jos ei löyvy nii hommaa Nordnetti

Itellä OP

siel o melekee kaikki jenkit

[wild coyote]

Vitun S-pankki ja Nordea ovat paskoja investoinnit 😭

[ashen spindle]

but it would be really funny if it does drop 25% and the ai crash starts

[fickle ore]

Mirror SMCI? :B

[gusty kiln]

The snow is speaking Finnish

[wild coyote]

anyways, don't I need 100 euros as safety deposit for OP?

cuz I had to do that with spankki

[fickle ore]

No not really but it costs monthly if not. If u want free go www.nordnet.fi

Over long run OP is better for ppl with mortgage

[gusty kiln]

I wonder if Jensen is already planning the next big thing after AI. I mean he seems very strategic and ahead of the game.

Nice will my 5800x rock afterwards?

[fickle ore]

Yeah he will make 3D jackets

[sharp badger]

Well the bonus is nice to have at S-pankki and let it go to funds

[gusty kiln]

Had anyone posted results with ryzen 5000?

[wild coyote]

[fickle ore]

not that Ive seen

[wild coyote]

Time to close my savings account from Nordea

cuz that's useless af

[gusty kiln]

CDs are a pretty safe way to earn a little on money you don't need to use right away

[fickle ore]

@gusty kiln

guessing few %%

[sharp badger]

Yeah but depends on what interest rate one can get

[fickle ore]

EU CD/HYSA are 2-3%

[sharp badger]

Yeah, OP do have a decent savings account

It depends on how you use it too

[astral haven]

us peeps its time to grab series I bonds

[fickle ore]

Yeah its pretty decent but not worth imo bc easy to get 4% yielding divs

Quin nvidia crashing 25% would make it $91 kek

[astral haven]

its not that crazy rn, but as intrest rates start to drop, that 1.3% bonus is forever

[fickle ore]

unless inflation is higher

[ashen spindle]

yeah but who needs 1.3% if you can just get rich by predicting the next nvidia

[astral haven]

this tracks with inflation

[fickle ore]

Easy, LUNR /s

[ashen spindle]

oh I was looking at the price it opened not the current one

but honestly I would not be opposed if it craters

god that would be so nice if the ai market crashes and normalizes finally

[astral haven]

opened when??? it opened at $128 today

[fickle ore]

why?

[ashen spindle]

I looked at DAX not NASDAQ bc thats why google sometimes just decides to show me

[ashen spindle]

because I want every dumb useless ai startup thats just a chatgpt wrapper to lose all VC money and dry up so I no longer hear about all the bs

[gusty kiln]

oh man lekker v2 came out... definitely would fix my main issue of stem wobble

[fickle ore]

noble goal I admit

iirc google finances show daily % gains wrong, yahoo finance is more accurate

[ashen spindle]

its accurate enough to clown about numbers when earnings are out

[old marlin]

@late grove ok I atm have HE-R10D on lend

wtf are you smoking, these sound like complete ass

[astral haven]

to be fair, closed backs in general sound pretty awful without eq, only iems can really be well tuned without sacrificing technical performance
throw an impulse response on them and they should clear right up

[late grove]

When did I say HE-R10 was good?

[old marlin]

you seemed to like the R9 quite a lot

[late grove]

Yes

[old marlin]

the R10D is not suuuuuper different from what I found

[late grove]

No

[old marlin]

and it sounds like complete shit

[late grove]

I am pretty sure 9 is not 10

So not sure what you were expecting.

[astral haven]

vs harman, 9 in blue 10 in green

and this is harman

[late grove]

Graphs are not the full story.

[old marlin]

10P is even worse

[astral haven]

both are pretty miserably tuned

[late grove]

10p is better.

10D is one of the worst headphones ever made. And a good lesson to pay attention to names and not assume things.

[astral haven]

the p is pretty miserable too

[late grove]

P is meh. It can work sometimes but the pricetag is obviously ridiculous.

[astral haven]

doesnt show how it will perform with a good eq, but definetly would avoid if you cant eq

[fickle ore]

Does anyone know what device/cables I need if I have speakers in walls/ceiling

halp

[astral haven]

screwdriver and whatever cables you want?
the contractors that installed the speakers in a conference system i just worked on used standard AC power cables

[fickle ore]

never seen this

[astral haven]

oh those are speaker terminals

pretty yucky looking ones, but pretty standard for cheap speakers

[fickle ore]

yucky? olol

[astral haven]

actually taking a closer look, they look a bit funky from what im used to

they might be ok, but they look alot like these which are as cheap as you can go while still making an electrical connection

[fickle ore]

So I need basically amp/dac/radio thingy?

[astral haven]

basically you push the lever, squeeze the wire into the hole that opens up, then let go and it holds it

[astral haven]

yep

id also recommend a multimeter to check ohms

[fickle ore]

its a 2011 built house should be fine

but yea

[misty prism]

does anyone know how to use the keyboard without any internet connection?

[astral haven]

if you wire up each channel separately ohms dont matter

but if you buy a fancy but low channel count amp, how you bridge the speakers (series vs parallel) will be different

[fickle ore]

I have speakers in 2 bedrooms + living room + sauna so need to figure which is which

[astral haven]

ah

[fickle ore]

ah

ty

[astral haven]

yea probably want separate on each lel

tbh id say get separate amps for each room, and separate inputs for each amp
i like chromecast (without google tv), but they need adapters, and look pretty messy once adaptered up

[fickle ore]

that sounds complex haha

3 amps that connect to ...? do I need home theater or somekind of device

[astral haven]

so you need a source device for the sound (can be a 3.5mm jack) that goes to the amp somehow

sonos is the goto for these, but sonos is real sus these days

[fickle ore]

Something like Yamaha XDA-AMP5400?

[astral haven]

thats the amp not the source

[fickle ore]

oof

[astral haven]

but for amps, you would only need 1 yamaha rather than 4 normal ones

this i think is yamahas aio unit, but i have zero experience in this field

[analog sinew]

i could use a HE controller one day

but razer EDGELORD gaming xXx3333xXx....

[fickle ore]

so basically speakers outs from wall to amp and from amp to whichever, even PC or smart TV with HDMI etc?

[analog sinew]

yeah

[astral haven]

hdmi would need an adapter, but yea

[analog sinew]

but rubberized grips are shit i dont want that

[umbral heron]

Gulikit makes some
The only issue for me is that they have Xbox stick layout

[fickle ore]

oke I can prob handle that heh

[analog sinew]

yeah i heard mixed things about it

[astral haven]

unless you want to do fancy stuff, id recommend going cheap on the amp, and spending the cash on the streamers
altho chromecast+hdmi to rca is pretty goated and total price now is ~$50 per channel

random desktop speaker amplifier x3 should work just fine

but do check ohms first
if they are wired in series and are like 50 ohms, youll have to pick your amp carefully

[rough osprey]

hall effect controller before he keyboard

[balmy vector]

Give me a controller with Hall effect and gyro and ill be golden

And haptic triggers

[analog sinew]

yea

[balmy vector]

I personally just dont like mouse click triggers

[steady sail]

Lul

[wild coyote]

ig I'm getting a phone upgrade soon

[late grove]

Alright, the monitor is packet in and Gigabyte is on my blacklist now.

[steady sail]

What happened?

[late grove]

Got a new OLED monitor. Broken Gsync and broken HDMI 2.1 support.

I think I will sit on my current one till the big upgrade in 2026. This is the second monitor upgrade I am trying to do where VRR is bugged. There's probably a pattern here.

[steady sail]

Welp

I dont think that i gonna order any oled monitors before 2030

[steep creek]

i dont need a monitor but it would be nice to upgrade at some point. im gonna wait til the new ultrawides come out

[steady sail]

I always gonna hate the looks of an ultrawide screen

But i still gonna upgrade to those monitor anyway https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/f099366b#google_vignette

[steep creek]

at the moment i dont need any more space than a single 27" but i figure why not give ultrawide a try

always looks so nice

[steep creek]

oh sick. i like ips

[steady sail]

I dont really mind if the display is not perfect in colors i use gamma anyway

[wild coyote]

@wheat plume I need help on a decent phone that's 500 or less

with OTG and 3.5mm jack

I was gonna get one of the newer Nord models, but they ain't got it unless it's a CE lite

[digital cliff]

i don't know any phones that have the jack except sony but sony's been busy making the same overpriced phone for 8 years at this point so I'm not sure why anyone would get their stuff

[wild coyote]

cuz it's either I get an adapter for usb-c to 3.5mm without having the ability to charge at the same time

or I get a CE lite version

the phone itself will receive 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates

if I buy the Nord 4

Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, 16gb ram, 512 gb storage
