[old yew]

pulsar

[steady sail]

Uhm without holes

[gusty kiln]

What grip style

[old yew]

pulsar and ninjutso

[alpine patio]

ngl pulsar is not bad

[steady sail]

Uhm im a hybrid so i use both claw and palm

[old yew]

i hate those terms

so much

[alpine patio]

pulsar with their discounts is always a good option

if you dont wanna spend too much

[steady sail]

Im kinda waiting for pulsars custom mouse builder site

[gusty kiln]

Vaxee have a lot of shapes that are great for both grip types

[alpine patio]

oh ya that

same

[fickle ore]

ULX? mby?

[old yew]

vaxee sucks bro 4k at max

[alpine patio]

btw how is their superglide?

any stratching issues with normal deskpads?

[old yew]

no scratch so far

[gusty kiln]

Imagine choosing based polling rate and not shape

[old yew]

hardware over shape any day

[steady sail]

I mean i dont really need 8k polling xd

[old yew]

no one really does

vaxee uses cheaped out sensors and the software is wack

[steady sail]

Its pointless for me when i cant notice the difference between 125hz and 1k hz polling xd

[gusty kiln]

Vaxee doesn't have software?

[real loom]

If I was to purchase the 60he+ does anyone know which wrist rest would work with that? Getting mixed results online! Thank you!

[cedar fog]

most games don't even support 8k polling

[old yew]

thats the point its built in

[cedar fog]

and windows tends to not like it either

[alpine patio]

any that isnt magnetic

[old yew]

any 60 %

[cedar fog]

so you just get a laggy ass frame skipping experience

[smoky frigate]

has anyone done benchmarks to measure the performance impact of 8k polling on modern systems? I'd like to know whether you actually lose performance from using it, negating any benefit

[real loom]

Thank you!

[old yew]

you lose about a good 12%

[smoky frigate]

that's fuckin nutbar

use a PS/2 mouse if you want zero lag then lol

[cedar fog]

wooting sells silicone wrist rests

[steady sail]

Im fine with “only” 4k polling

[old yew]

i use 4k too dont worry 8k is overkill but paying a premium and getting a locked mouse is wack

[real loom]

This what you mean?

[cedar fog]

yes

[real loom]

Your keyboard is really cool! Is there a site you suggest for caps?

[old yew]

these are both stock wooting keycaps just the white and black version

[real loom]

Oh gotcha! They looked grey in the photo! Mb!

[old yew]

ive tested a fuck ton of mice and can say 4k is indeed a sweet spot

[steady sail]

I mean i dont mind 1k polling only

[cedar fog]

I can't play a few games on 4k so I usually use 2k

[old yew]

1k vs 4k is uncomparable

[alpine patio]

ngl 500 polling is good

[cedar fog]

like hunt showdown completely breaks on 4k

[cedar fog]

true

I usually use 125hz

[alpine patio]

but i dont play accuracy games anymore

maybe 2k is the best for that

[cedar fog]

2k is the most compatible in my experience

I don't have to change it when I swap games

[real loom]

Is that the silicone rest sold by wooting and do you like it a lot?

[steady sail]

I mean i could get the purple pulsar mice

[old yew]

no this is a memory foam one from amazon

[old yew]

pulsar is really nice

[steady sail]

I have the wooting wrist rest and it is confy af tho it was weird to me first but i got used to it

[naive dew]

I have an glassmousepad from Pulsar, ist really fantastic

[old yew]

wait a minute .. those keycaps

[steady sail]

Yep evangelion eva01

[naive dew]

Looks Like evangelion

[old yew]

have them too 😅

[steady sail]

My whole build theme is eva 01

[naive dew]

I have keycaps for 02

[steady sail]

I know that the pc is dusty but im lazy to clean it

But overall yeah green and purple color theme is my favorite

[old yew]

1 min

[steady sail]

Originally i wanted red and orange so EVA02 theme but all keycaps looked ass other than the asus one but thats expensive as hell

[steady sail]

Nice

[old yew]

my old setup was eva based

[steady sail]

Niice

I guess im just gonna wait for pulsar’s custom mouse builder

Im fine on the Burst II air

Tho the sora 4k looks good enough

But its sold out

Hyundai Confirms the N Vision 74 Concept is going into production! 🎉

While details remain scarce, it's likely to be produced in limited numbers.

Hyundai has yet to provide specifics on when the car will be available, but it is expected to be released before 2030.

damn

[pastel nacelle]

Give a v12

[rough osprey]

doesnt really it it

its a hydrogen car

[pastel nacelle]

Every car could use a high displacement.

And carbon fiba.

[rough osprey]

naah

[pastel nacelle]

Yeah, for when I take it off road.

First thing you do when you see a chirocco.

Take it straight into the woods.

That's my problem with evs.You can't drive them on a frozen lake.

[late grove]

I hate cars but Hyundai may eventually win me over.

That design + electric + their crab walk tech would be the endgame car.

[pastel nacelle]

If it could make evs less heavy.

So when you jump them over train tracks, they don't implode.

[fathom kindle]

Hi guys I want to ask you If you guys have an alternative to the Tofu redux case because I want to build my friend a Keyboard for his birthday and I already have the wooting 60 HE Modular and I need the complete the rest of the Keyboard so if you got keycaps and a aluminumcase for under 200 euro I would appreciate It.

[cedar fog]

maybe a good start https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

fkin Alienware not only puts a copilot key on their laptop, they also make it bigger on top of that.

Well, guess no Alienware laptops for me from now on.

[reef patrol]

Nothing that can't be rebound of course.

[solemn remnant]

copilot take the wheel

[rough osprey]

missed opportunity to make an alien button

[late grove]

ironically, X16 which comes with Core Ultra CPUs (ye know, the ones that are AI AI AI AI) does not have it.

[pastel nacelle]

Routine maintenance is my thing with cars, but people like to fuck around and find out how long they can last without a change in lubricants.

Or tires.

Im neck deep in CVT replacements

Becos people think they can drive 60k miles on the like its a older transmission.

[astral haven]

i mean my "transmission" is scheduled for an oil change every 65k miles

and its barely a 10 year old car

[gusty kiln]

One of the biggest issue from GN first video was the constant battle of having a Waterblock for all gpu models vs the cost of manufacturing for all gpu model. They have up order the minimum quantity for each and a lot of SKU barely sell.

[astral haven]

but yea thanks to poor marketing, people think the belt bs cvts are the same as the hybrid transaxle cvts of the prius

[pastel nacelle]

Cvts are great in motorcycles.

They weigh barely anything

[astral haven]

i think there should be a different name for an electric cvt vs the bs with the belt

[pastel nacelle]

Not when the car is over 3200lbs and the cvt is the size of a watermelon.

[astral haven]

that works fine with a hybrid cvt

Time to assault your local Mcdonald's WiFi

[pastel nacelle]

It would be cool if nvidia/amd did standardize a format for water cooling.

[astral haven]

???

have you heard of g1/4?

[pastel nacelle]

For manafacturers to stick to a pcb design for a generation.

Like so all of it can be mix and match.

[ashen spindle]

god no

you dont want to limit pcb design for a dozen people that watercool

[astral haven]

also it already exists, the memory and core are fixed relative to those screws

you just have to ask your manufacturer to copy evga and have the baseplate that cools the vrm be separate from the heatsink that does the core and memory

or just leave the area empty so that it can properly convect since noone is throwing the super wimpy vrms on cards any more

[pastel nacelle]

I think coolermaster made the nr200p noob friendly.

But water loops feel like its been niche for too long.

[marsh pewter]

theres a reason water cooling is niche

it just doesnt pay off enough for the effort put in. plus its much more expensive than simple air cooling. there just isnt really a reason to use it in most cases. hence why I dont see why we should design around it.

[astral haven]

^

[pastel nacelle]

Too bad deep cool got them selves sanctioned out of the usa lol.

[astral haven]

and if you want cheap liquid, the aio+fan situation is 90% of the performance of open loop

[analog sinew]

plus at the end its still aircooled

its just water heat transfer

[ashen spindle]

deepcoll sells stuff under new name in the us so nothing changed there

[smoky frigate]

what a ripoff, I want it cooled with more water

[marsh pewter]

put your pc in your bath tub

[pastel nacelle]

Heat pipes are cheaper and work if you have an atx case.

[astral haven]

what sort of low end bs are you talking about, of course my pc is plumbed into my house, how else would you do it???

[smoky frigate]

wait a sex are you trying to trick me

I didn't get any reactions from anyone earlier

When i posted it but

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/08/emudeck-team-announce-linux-powered-emudeck-machines/

What do you guys think of the emudeck machines

I don't really get who would buy this

[smoky frigate]

someone who doesn't know about FPGA maybe

the specs are pretty decent though

[umbral heron]

€759 EUR
That's a bit more than Steam Deck

[unkempt lake]

And power wise i mean

We aint talking a lot better than a deck

[umbral heron]

I mean
That's basically a Steam Machine
Low cost entry to PC ecosystem with console-like environment

[smoky frigate]

different topic, funny how all the "x86 is dead" noise suddenly stopped when fapdragon x got released

[ashen spindle]

nah some people got louder since then

[umbral heron]

Snapdragon X would kill x86
But then it got released

[smoky frigate]

collective "oh..."

[ashen spindle]

and say look at this first gen attempt and how its almost perfect and then dont listen when you tell them, it is in fact not the first gen snapdragon laptop

[unkempt lake]

This aint exactly low cost

[pastel nacelle]

Seguhhhh

[umbral heron]

Relatively low?

[unkempt lake]

Kinda i guess?

I'd say its like mid priced for what it is

[analog sinew]

it seems like someones hobby project not a viable product

[vapid ruin]

Not sold by valve so no primary source of income besides hardware

[smoky frigate]

oooooh they got nothing yet, it's all subject to change

so we are still in the "promises" phase of mid product life cycle

you need admin to create symlinks on windows?!

This one.

[astral haven]

also update on my linux experiment
instead of installing kde on ubuntu, i should have just used kubuntu
xrdp just worked after pasting a sketchy script into my terminal , crashing vmware and restarting

[thin axle]

Rather buy a Legion Go, and put Steam OS for better battery life and suspend play 🙂

[iron wave]

I'm super happy with my Steam Deck.

[pale sigil]

Such a cool feature

[thin axle]

I bought the LCD one, not happy.. cause the oled is alot better, and the legion go has a bigger screen :<

[pale sigil]

When did yoi get the lcd one

[thin axle]

7/21/2022

[iron wave]

I have a side by side video of them, the Steam Deck is the thing that made me stop hating on OLED as much.

[thin axle]

I bought the 512gb, ripped it open, put a 2TB micron drive inside.

[pale sigil]

why did you hate oled

[iron wave]

The burn in issues.

[astral haven]

Why get the 512? The 64gb was so much cheaper and it took my 2tb just fine

[thin axle]

512 was the biggest they* offered.

[iron wave]

Didn't it come with some extra stuff and a better screen?

IIRC that's why I got the big one.

[thin axle]

It came with a limited edition case, and a gorilla glass screen upgrade. Yes... but no oled, and old processor. 😐

[iron wave]

The APU makes very little difference outside of power usage.

[thin axle]

They did alot of tweaks.

[iron wave]

I've used both.

[thin axle]

Mine has screws rammed in plastic, the oled's have metal inserts.

[iron wave]

They feel the same performance wise.

[thin axle]

oh yeah? wanna trade?! 😛

[iron wave]

No.

[bright briar]

i 100% that game

[thin axle]

I couldn't stand that game, it just felt too blocky.

[thin axle]

Is refurbished steam index hardware really unreliable?

[bright briar]

starwars the complete saga is better though

[iron wave]

I 100% that on the Steam Deck.

[thin axle]

I dunno, maybe if they added some cutscene's. Most of it just felt more geared to little kids.

[iron wave]

The talking in modern games is really silly.

[bright briar]

i mean its lego

[thin axle]

I grew up on lego, what's wrong with catering to grown up people? 😛

Look at pal world, it's basically pokemon with guns xD

[iron wave]

(People like to pretend that "kid games" imply "bad games", that's why so many people in school hated on Minecraft but secretly played it)

[thin axle]

Minecraft is awesome. I played it with Industrial Craft, Rotary Craft, etc. I built nuclear reactors, and other cool stuff.

[iron wave]

The original "mod pack" I made had BC, IC, Spheres, 303 arrows, and a few others IIRC.

[thin axle]

I wish the MSI Claw (Ultra 7) would have been more competitive with the AMD offerings (Z1 Extreme). It seems like AMD has it in the bag for mobile hardware right now.

[iron wave]

Isn't AARCH64 king?

[ashen spindle]

lmao not for gaming

[thin axle]

You gunna run games inside of a VM like cedega/wine? Sounds terrible. Need native support of directx/opengl.

[iron wave]

The Switch is pretty darn good, phones also do a good job.

WINE isn't an emulator.

[ashen spindle]

but prism for windows on arm is an emulator

[thin axle]

Nintendo is a niche market. I dont think they're going to get Cyberpunk 2077 anytime soon.

[ashen spindle]

and you need to emulate since you dont have builds from most games for arm

[unkempt lake]

The LCD looks fine tbh

[iron wave]

WINE doesn't do binary translation.

Do peoplpe even care about Cyberpunk?

[unkempt lake]

Nahhhhh

[iron wave]

I'm running a very stupid program right now to look for a very stupid thing.

[ashen spindle]

you arent going to use wine to run something on arm

[iron wave]

I'd use it, but that wouldn't be the emulation layer.

[ashen spindle]

the microsoft equivalent to apples rosetta is prirsm

[thin axle]

From what I've seen and read. The OLED version is better. And I prefer to play with handheld controller, and a stand. Not exactly ideal on Steam Deck. The Legion Go is more like a Nintendo Switch with removable controllers.

[unkempt lake]

He's insane

[iron wave]

It would be something like software -> WINE -> qemu -> Linux.

[thin axle]

I'm insane for having an opinion, I really tried to enjoy it. Then I just played something else... lol

[unkempt lake]

I mean an OLED will basically always look better

[unkempt lake]

ITS LEGOS

[ashen spindle]

I think now you answered the question why arm isnt the choice for handheld gaming lel

[unkempt lake]

HOW CAN SOMEONE HATE LEGOS

[thin axle]

I like legos, I just didnt enjoy the video game. Even the movie was pretty good imho (Everything is awesome!!)

[unkempt lake]

Danish special forces will kidnap you

[ashen spindle]

also gpu performance matters and even if qualcom managed to to a decent cpu with the SDXE the gpu is still lacking

[iron wave]

OS kernel --------------------\
emulation ------------\       |
API translation \     |       |
native\         |     |       |
software -> WINE -> qemu -> Linux

But then again most of the stuff I would want to run should just work on AARCH64 Linux or be not very demanding.

[thin axle]

Let me guess. Solitare? Minesweeper? 😄

[iron wave]

I bet MC would do pretty well on AARCH64 all things considered.

Maybe not super high render distances, but it would be native.

[ashen spindle]

unlikely to be better than on x86 though

[iron wave]

It works well enough on my phone, even when using a janky JVM and janky natives.

[ashen spindle]

yeah but whats the point of well enough, then you could just take some really cheap chip from 5 years ago that somewhat runs it

[iron wave]

I'm begining to wonder if this can't find what I'm looking for.

[ashen spindle]

windows search?

[iron wave]

The high end AARCH64 stuff is doing pretty well.

[iron wave]

Not at all.

[ashen spindle]

its doing well but x86 is still doing better so if you need to add extra work in software to make stuff run, back to the point of why do the extra work in a handheld

[thin axle]

Kinda like iOS, and Android development. If the sales are mostly on iOS, most companies will steer that way. Same with writing a video game on the bigger platform.

[iron wave]

Darn, I was searching for a case of Object.hashCode being 0 but it looks like that can never be the case with the default JVM args.

Android is the bigger platform?

[thin axle]

Depends on the app. \m/ I use android myself 😄

[iron wave]

iOS is pretty small in the entire market.

If anyone is curious about the sources to my stupid search program.

Giving my 24 thread CPU a usage of 19 is pretty decent.

[ashen spindle]

neat but at 2am im not looking at code anymore lmao

debatable how much those are worth

[gusty kiln]

what level of math are you required to take?

[final flame]

I'd need to check, but it isn't anything advanced

no calc or anything special

[gusty kiln]

and avoid the AI accusations

[final flame]

thankfully I haven't had much of that, better teachers ig

[gusty kiln]

ah ok, lol I had to go pretty high for math

[thin axle]

When I took computer science, they gave me the statistics class after calculus.. it was dumb.

[gusty kiln]

stats was chill

I took stats in highschool, it was aight
didn't have a good teacher though, was notoriously bad at explaining things

[serene linden]

does anyone know what kind of magnets are used in current hall effect switches? (dimensions, material, remanence, polarity)

[thin axle]

That's a great question. Gateron says KS-20's have "102Gs" initial, and "905Gs" when bottomed out.

[serene linden]

yeah

im really confused

i took measurements from the jade datasheet where they claim 12mT initial and 70mT bottomed out but with the dimensions there i only get above their -8mT tolerance when i run the simulation with a N55 neodymium magnet with higher than normal remanence

guess ill actually have to order some and do irl tests instead of just simulating

[sturdy raven]

What problem are you trying to solve?

[serene linden]

building a keyboard and sorting through hall effect sensors sensitivities

[umbral heron]

Writing firmware part will be fun

Been there, done that
Well, not done yet

[serene linden]

ye, should be doable, the usb hid spec is a bit of a piece of reading and understanding but I don't have a deadline

[umbral heron]

USB HID is easy, managing analog input from HE sensors, that's where the fun begins

[sturdy raven]

There are a lot of variables that could affect the mcu voltage reading from each hall effect sensor. Don't dwell on the strength of the magnet. Solve it in software such as performing calibration

[serene linden]

the point is that I want a hall effect sensor with a sensitivity high enough to get meaningful voltage steps while still allowing for the full range, 80mT, 100mT and 120mT are basically the ones in question rn

[serene linden]

is there any difference to any other analog sensing?

[sturdy raven]

That's irrelevant, what determines your steps is the resolution of the analog input

if my hall effect sensor only gives a non full scale output up to 80mT and bottom out flux density is 90mT it's relevant. if I only need 60mT range I can go with a larger mV/mT curve which decreases sensitivity to external influences. obviously the adc has to be accurate enough but every 3.3V ADC ≥10bit should be able to detect steps in a 0.1mm resolution over the whole travel distance (sim says about 7mV step size for the last couple .1mm). if the sensor can't measure it the adc can be as accurate as it wants

calibration is needed anyway for trace losses and magnet/sensor manufacturing variation

Every story has an ending, and my time with Linus Media Group is at a close. A lot of my favourite people work there, and I'll always cherish our time together. These were some of the happiest days of my life.

Thank you all so much for supporting me. I wish everyone the best.

One of the only decent people at LTT

[west dock]

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!

Well donut media also lost a good couple people too

Sadly these company's can't stay the same

[serene linden]

ye, wonder why it happened but i guess it was only a matter of time given that there have been basically no appearances since the transition announcement

[sturdy raven]

Remember it's a keyboard. You can say it's design for 0.1mm resolution, but will the end user be able to quantify that?

[reef patrol]

I can only assume that the LTT community weren't exactly... supportive of the transition, and she kept receiving harassment, and an increasing interest in being on camera as a result.

Can't really blame em if that is the case.

[fair gull]

magnet strength is 100% something to consider when picking HE sensors as they have a max G sensing value

and if you go over that flux value the sensor is maxed even if youre not as close as you wanna be when maxed

[west dock]

Is the v2 lekker good?

[fair gull]

i personally cant tell a difference ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[west dock]

Stock settings

[fair gull]

oh yes it works 1:1 like the v1

[west dock]

Ok good

[reef patrol]

There's noticeably less wobble than my handlubed V1s for sure.

[fair gull]

its mainly tolerances that got improved

[west dock]

I'm new to he as well

So idk how it will feel/work

[serene linden]

no, but im building a single unit for fun because i cant look at power supply stuff all day lol, been wanting to get more into analog with audio and why not build a keyboard as well and integrate a diy headphone amp or something into the bottom side so i dont have to fight with my headphone cables around the keyboard

[sturdy raven]

I get that, been looking at hall effect sensor datasheets. What I'm trying to say is don't build the keyboard on specific magnet strength

[west dock]

I just never though I'd see the day we get he switches on keyboards I thought that was only for controllers lol from back in the day

[serene linden]

ye

[west dock]

Then recently learned it was because they are too reliable

Vs current

[fair gull]

not quite easily possible. if you wanna build an HE keyboard its bets to build it around a limited range of magnet strengths so that the values from the HE sensor remain usable and mapable to some linearization.

[serene linden]

originally wanted to do optical because its super easy compared to all other options but why not he

[fair gull]

so some min and max G value is really a good thing to have

and build around

[sturdy raven]

Limited range is the right word. Don't build if for all available magnets and don't build it for a single magnet

[fair gull]

i mean you have to build for a range anyway as magnets have a crap ton of variability in strength if we talk fractions of mm detected

[serene linden]

honestly one of my main issues rn is getting 8khz sampling across the whole board with multiplexers and my targeted accuracy, would prefer to oversample a bit so i can average at least 2 readings but ehhh i need a bunch of simultaneous adc channels which gets expensive fast unless you use the mcu integrated one

[fair gull]

also consider the power draw of tons of he sensors at once turned on

[west dock]

Oh god is this what they mean by rabbit hole of becoming a keyboard enthusiast

[serene linden]

im building it for my home setup so i luckily know what its plugged into and if i run into power constraints over normal usb i can use up to 60W PD on my desk hub

[west dock]

That's way to confusing

[sturdy raven]

Seems like an analog nightmare, not an expert in analog design but had a handful of analog products under my belt

[fair gull]

i hope you have good hid descriptors if you use a hub/kvm or such

that can also be tricky

[serene linden]

honestly i have very little interest in keyboards, just electrical engineering in general

[west dock]

I see

That also has its own rabbit hole XD

I don't wanna get obsessed with

It's expensive

[serene linden]

I'll figure it out, as i said, no deadline, just doing this between the stuff i focus on to get my mind off of it

[steady sail]

i mean welcome to life

[serene linden]

yeah xd

[steady sail]

Ever since i started paying my own stuff i need to be more carefull LOL

but time to time i got some good stuff for my happines

[west dock]

True

[west dock]

Same

Keyboard is one of them

Granted friend helped me procure a pre order so I didn't miss out if it ran out of stock on release

[serene linden]

feel that, electronics are eating all my monies, i need a better spectrum analyser but wallet says nu atm

[west dock]

Don't those cost thousands even for cheap models

[steady sail]

i mean keyboards can be expensive, just like collecting figurines or plushies

[west dock]

Me with my 2k in Pokémon cards nearly/300$ in figures/300in model cars XD

I like to collect many things

[serene linden]

the one im looking at is about 3500€ but ye

[west dock]

Estimated prices because they change

[west dock]

Thought so XD

A person I met a while ago has a vintage one and it's working perfect

I can only imagine it's value

Idk what they do lmao they just look cool

[serene linden]

they basically show the frequency components of a signal

[west dock]

I see

So very useful

Can be used to test hardware if still reading right

[serene linden]

well you kinda need them for most rf stuff, in my case for emission testing of power supply circuits

[west dock]

Yikes

That's dangerous stuff

[serene linden]

nah you just gotta give it a safetly lick before you touch it with your hands and if youre still alive its all good to touch

[west dock]

Lmao I see ok XD

[umbral heron]

Loses to AMD in 2 gens of CPU
the most difficult period in its 56-year history

[steady sail]

[ashen spindle]

well its more like 4 now

remember server is the big one

[marsh glade]

Dead money walking

[ashen spindle]

would be very ironic if they end up like amd and make a global foundries-like

but memes aside I think this is just needed because financial bros can only see short term, if the turnaround works out it wont be before liek mid next year with the first 18A node products out for laptops

[marsh glade]

Finance bros can only see a company which has become fat, bloated, lazy, uncompetitive, and extremely prone to massive fuckups

[rough patrol]

This is what happens when you hire a finance ceo to "improve profits" without any sort of long term view or drive to innovate and then once everything has been stripped down to parts people wonder where it all went

Tale as old as time

[ashen spindle]

well that isn't mutually exclusive

[rough patrol]

They did hire an engineer ceo again but way too late and i think they will need way more time to dig themselves out of that hole

[umbral heron]

I mean... they doubled down on digging a hole deeper many times
Remember "AMD is snake oil"?

[rough patrol]

I dont have a good opinion of finance people and ceos in general

[signal pewter]

i mean intel cpus were still pretty close to amd but yeah

[rough patrol]

Highest position a finance guy should hold in a non finance company is cfo

[umbral heron]

Now, let's look at perf/watt graphs

[rough patrol]

Finance investors also know how to fuck up a company long term but make it look better in the short term so they can flip it

[signal pewter]

yeah that's pretty bad but talking about sales intel was still pretty known so

[ashen spindle]

Ehhhh

Maybe in laptop and prebuilts

[vapid ruin]

intel still popular in laptop, because 60% of laptop offering in my area are intel. But it kinda skew towards amd naow

[umbral heron]

They skew towards Intel, because Intel pays big buckaroonies to OEMs

[umbral heron]

Once finance guys become CEOs it's joever
Great to be a shareholder of such company, sucks to be a consumer

[signal pewter]

even in prebuilts/just the cpus are pretty used still but yeah amd looks better even if i never used it

[rough patrol]

Shareholder in the short term like 5 years yes but the company will be in a much worse position later down the road

[alpine patio]

this is been done no?

with one of the largest airplane manifacurers

dont recall which

[rough patrol]

boeing

[vapid ruin]

boeing go boing

[alpine patio]

ofc is boeing

[vapid ruin]

fast way up, but also down

[rough patrol]

down is a good word for that one

[jaunty rose]

Ya’ll heard that some pc’s using an amd cpu on the new windows update will get you a performance upgrade?

Dunno if its legit or just a rumour

[ashen spindle]

yes

but its more like windows11 for the longest time had code that had some performance deficit on amd

and now that got fixed

[vapid ruin]

cool at least that they added it

[marsh glade]

The fact that NVDA failed to match the broader market in creating new short terms highs on the release of its earnings suggests that those new highs on the Nasdaq only exists to catch traders long on the wrong side of the marketplace. If going long is the wrong side, then the market is predisposed to move lower. If the market is expected to move lower, then stocks which are underperforming already are going to get obliterated in the short term

RIP INTC

[jaunty rose]

Yeah that seems like a windows thing

[ashen spindle]

nahh if amd could recover surely intel can, what could go wrong

[vapid ruin]

Me want intel to release god like gpu, consumer oriented AI gpu that's also good for gaming!

[jaunty rose]

Honestly good on intel for continuing to work on their gpu’s. The world needs more variety. But fr tho they needa fix their act with their modern cpu’s

[umbral heron]

Intel GPUs are amazing as a 2nd GPU or a HTPC/Jellyfix box one
They are cheap, amazing encoding/decoding quality, A380 takes only 75W max

[signal pewter]

idk about gaming though

[umbral heron]

Yeah... no

You're better off with cheap AMD

[signal pewter]

yeah i have an nvidia card but honestly amd is just better

i've heard that drivers are kinda unstable but idk maybe they actually fix stuff

[steady sail]

If u care about AI and Ray Traycing ngreedia is just better if not AMD ftw

[signal pewter]

i really don't, the only rtx i ever did is portal on rtx

[umbral heron]

AMD is king when it comes to raw raster perf/$

But for other uses... yeah, Nvidia

[signal pewter]

i may miss nvenc 😭

but i've heard they made an encoder that works well idk

[umbral heron]

Also OS choice, AMD behave wacky on Windows, Nvidia same on Linux

[ashen spindle]

its very similar for en/decoding yes

[signal pewter]

i mean, nvidia works fine on linux as long as you install like 40 different packages (one by one..)

[steady sail]

Overall i dont have any driver related issues with amd at all

[signal pewter]

it honestly depends from the card

[umbral heron]

Nope - only nvidia-beta, 555+
It's better nowadays, but it's still not as good as radv-amdgpu

[signal pewter]

for me the normal nvidia package won't work

i don't even remember what i use i just set it up and then forget about it

[jaunty rose]

Mostly why I prefer nvidia gpu with amd cpu. Its such a good combo

Currently running an
Rtx 3070 with a Ryzen 7 5800x3D

[vapid ruin]

very cool cpu

[umbral heron]

AMD+AMD here
I have to swap my GPU soon, but still going for Radeon

[steady sail]

Im still looking forward to my 7900 GRE upgrade later this year

[vapid ruin]

Mine is just 5600g with 4070tiS, mainly for AI and light gaming

[umbral heron]

I wan 7900xtx
I'd wait, but next x900 AMD card comes out in 2026 with RDNA 5, so...

[steady sail]

Im gonna wait till nvidia 50 series releases and see whats gonna happen in the used market

[vapid ruin]

either a lot more 3080/3090, or 40 series stays the same price because 50 series is not much a jump

[jaunty rose]

Been debating on saving up for a 4080 super since I have an 850 watt power supply but at the same time the 50 series gpu’s are right around the corner and there’s rumors of them being more power efficient

[steady sail]

I dont need an nvidia card but im sure that a few ppl gonna switch to nvidia from amd

[ashen spindle]

we have no idea if 50 series is a big jump or not

[vapid ruin]

5090 rumored to have 28gb of vram, enough I guess?

[jaunty rose]

Still better to wait so we can have lower prices on aftermarket 40 series cards from goobers who think newer is better

[umbral heron]

Sure - 20GB for tmpfs to install Crysis on, 8GB for Crysis

[ashen spindle]

if you want to wait yes, but imo always the best to ignore whats coming soon (unless you know its like just a week later) and buy based on what you want/need at the moment

[jaunty rose]

Thats a good way to think of it

[ashen spindle]

if your gpu right now is making you not have the fps you want and you wait and lets say 5080 comes out in march and not as good as you hoped, you just waited a long time to get disappointed

if it comes in a month and its very nice sell your current one at a bit of a loss but you had still time to enjoy the better frames

[steady sail]

I know that i need a gpu upgrade for a stable 1440@180 experience but yeah

[umbral heron]

I'm soooo happy I went for 7xxx CPU, not only 9xxx are expensive and with-not-that-much-of-a-gain, but also 7xxx got more expensive

[steady sail]

First i have to see what my 6700 xt can do in 1440p

[balmy vector]

Glad i bought my 7xxx before prices went up

[umbral heron]

A lot
I can comfortably play everything I want in >120fps

[graceful wedge]

how good is the HD 560 compared to like $50-$100 iems?

[jaunty rose]

My current 3070 is fine but my ps5 has gotten me more into fancy lookin triple a games. At most I would need is a 4070 but the 4080 super is just my dream card. I also play a lot of pcvr so theres that.

[ashen spindle]

well, look at that but also at the 7900xtx since that could be much cheaper in your region and decide fi you want to spend the money now or wait up like 6 or 8 months for something newer

[umbral heron]

Last AAA game I played was Elden Ring

Every AAA game now is... mediocre, too expensive, and with DLSS/FSR + TAA looks like under a layer of Vaseline

[ashen spindle]

and yeah looking at the 7800x3d price it looks like I made a good stock investment getting it in june where it was the lowest

[jaunty rose]

My last triple a games were hell divers 2, re4 remake, the last of us part 1, god of war 2018, and elden ring

[ashen spindle]

oops cut off the months

[jaunty rose]

Im interested in black myth wukong rn so I might buy that

[vapid ruin]

Wait until they allow you to disable the upscalling. Looks horrible with it

[balmy vector]

Dlaa ftw

[ashen spindle]

you can disable it

[vapid ruin]

Even with 100% scale dlaa it looks weird

and also being able to disable the sharpening.

But other than that, game is good.

[ashen spindle]

its just very linear, dont expect a dark souls open world more like a straight path of boss fights (as far as I got at least and saw)

[jaunty rose]

Im surprised my 3070 can run native 1080p with max settings on the last of us part 1, I might be cooked with black myth wukong idk if my gpu can run that 😭

[vapid ruin]

running with 4070tiS, I can set everything to cinematic with 900p dlss quality for 60fps. Just set everything to high and you should still be fine.

[balmy vector]

You’re right, only real exploration is the branching paths that lead you back to the main path.

[jaunty rose]

Youre right, just been kinda scared of triple a game optimization ever since Ark Ascended

[ashen spindle]

mhm like a straight line with a side room here and there

[umbral heron]

When 4070TiS can't handle natively 1080p60 you know we're in dark times...

[vapid ruin]

I am also running with 5600g

so there could be cpu bottleneck

[ashen spindle]

it very much shows it's that studios first big game

[jaunty rose]

Buy a 7 5800x3D, best am4 cpu in the market

Hi

[vapid ruin]

uuu no moneh, I already spent like $2k this year. Maybe next year.

[jaunty rose]

I fully understand

I think I spent like $800 this year on just peripherals alone

[balmy vector]

I refuse to look back at how much i spent on pc stuff this year. Id feel ashamed

Worth it though

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/bros-bro-high-five-dillon-duke-gif-12955092

Same

[balmy vector]

It got me to am5, so i think thats a plus

[jaunty rose]

I refuse to upgrade to am5 unless I really need/want to because upgrading to am5 is literally half a pc

[vapid ruin]

I think I'll wait for am5 instead. 5700x3d for $200 SHOULD be sufficient

Why did Microsoft turn on my location services

[ashen spindle]

finally no need to download more anymore

[bold coyote]

[vapid ruin]

cpu, ram, mobo... I think that's all. But I also want new storage and case, and fans... Yeh no

[jaunty rose]

Designated wam

[balmy vector]

I thought it was denotated wam

[jaunty rose]

Yeah half a pc! Im fine with storage but a nicer lookin aio sounds nice…

[ashen spindle]

just stick with a cheap aircooler, cant beat that for performance and price

[vapid ruin]

Using thermaltake from an aio. Less worry

[balmy vector]

Thermaltake my beloved

[jaunty rose]

I already have an aio Im just yapping about fancy aio’s with the screen on it, my boyfriend has one and it looks really nice only problem is that its like 300 bucks

[vapid ruin]

Hmm, if I were him, I would put a figurine inside

yeah arent only gigabyte and asus the main ones with triples?

yeah no dung

[old marlin]

you can't extract ammo out of a mag like that tho

well also duh but i thought maybe just the gun is cg

[old marlin]

the gun might be real actually

[fair gull]

this short is just breaking my brain

[old marlin]

actually nvm

I think the gun is entirely cg

surface roughness seems quite incorrect

might be a prop glock of a different model but replaced with a cg one

nvm hands are cg as well

[fair gull]

but how do you know

[old marlin]

it doesn't fold right

that should not be a fully straight line

and the lighting on them looks somewhat off

I think the subsurface scattering is not there 100%?

it is EXTREMELY impressive though

fingers etc also don't seem to squish

wonder how he did it exactly

if I were to take a guess mocap + high res scans of his arms?

[fair gull]

One last thing before the weekend: We have added results for the Core i9-14900K, Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K with the KB5041587 update. Yes, there are also slight improvements here and there, but nothing that comes close to what we see with Ryzen.

No testing with zen 3000 yet

Apparently it was supposed to be impacted

[ashen spindle]

other people did and saw some slight improvements

[unkempt lake]

Coolio

[ashen spindle]

which makes sense since the Hw mitigations started getting added with zen3

[unkempt lake]

Talking about mitigations

They're patching sinkclose

On zen 3k

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-launches-ryzen-5-7600x3d-microcenter-exclusive-six-core-zen-4-cpu-with-game-boosting-3d-v-cache

They're actually doing this

[gusty kiln]

Makes total sense to me since the 7900x3d was a total flop

Gotta use to dies somewhere

[unkempt lake]

I mean

I wouldn't say the 7900x3d is a "bad" product

It's just... a niche one

[ashen spindle]

its bad as in you will never see it at a price where it makes sense

[unkempt lake]

I've seen it cheaper than the 7800x3d quite a few times

At least here in canada

But mainly due to it not selling

[umbral heron]

Rightfully so, it's quite worse for gaming, and for productivity there's an option with 4 more cores

At least 7950x3d V-cache CCU is on par with 7800x3d for gaming
On 7900x3d you still get 2 less cores

[ashen spindle]

well, you do get 200mhz more max boost if the game is fine with 6 cores

so its just awkward all around

[umbral heron]

7900x3d clocks higher? That I didn't knew

[ashen spindle]

yeah slightly better bins

thats why in most graphs the 7950x3d is chart topper if no ccd memes or something

[graceful wedge]

anyone have a reccomended amp that i should get? i just got hd 560, my headsets plugged into my mic rn and cable is too big to fit for the pc audio port

[umbral heron]

Isn't it like 50 ohms? 6.3 to 3.5 dongle should do the job
Or just 3.5 cable

[umbral heron]

Oh, HD560S

[graceful wedge]

Do u think it’ll make a big difference if it’s plugged into the pc or no?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, it may be a bit quiet at this point

[graceful wedge]

Yea it is pretty quiet ngl

[umbral heron]

I'm using FiiO KA17 myself, maybe look for K5 Pro if you want something for PC? Should be on the cheaper side

[graceful wedge]

[umbral heron]

iFi Uno maybe?

[final flame]

I left my windows 11 setup usb and my pc when turning on and the pc was like, yes we are installing windows 11 now

[gusty kiln]

Rip anandtech

[final flame]

I didn't even know they could tell a boot usb was inserted, I thought you always had to select a boot device

[final flame]

you really don't need a amp to get it to volume

any dongle will be fine

[umbral heron]

Must be something with Windows Boot Manager, I know for sure that GRUB ignores it

[final flame]

yea, grub ignored it, since I was installing it onto a laptop with linux on it

[crimson wigeon]

Depends on the UEFI implementation, maybe it's set to prefer a removable device

[graceful wedge]

if u dont mind, can someone link me one, i feel like im going to order one that wont fit 😭

[umbral heron]

Of course
But besides that I wonder if Windows' bootloader prioritizes Windows USB

[umbral heron]

Moondrop Dawn Pro maybe?

[graceful wedge]

im just procrasinating, if all i need is some cable thats like $10 then, thats a easy choice for me, feeling a little lost ngl

ifi uno seems really nice

[steady sail]

1 new monitor and 2 monitor arms gonna cost me 400€

[graceful wedge]

I think this will be do, ty Calslock and Glaxes

[supple nest]

If you live in America I highly suggest jdslabs

[astral haven]

are you sure thats the right cable above?
it looks to me like a 6.25 where the item below looks like 4.4

[astral haven]

its just the boot menu order
some default to usb first, some to internal, it depends

[old marlin]

4.4 TRS 🪤

[astral haven]

trs????

4.4 is supposed to be trrrs

[old marlin]

wait I thought TRRS

[astral haven]

nope, true balanced +- per channel with a separate ground sleeve

[old marlin]

ah, makes sense

[astral haven]

either way its fine tbh, the cable is adapting to 3.5 and they have a 3.5 already

[old marlin]

watch them be the guy that uses 2.5mm

[gusty kiln]

Yeah I think he got the wrong cable

[old marlin]

also why use a cable 💀

just use a short adapter

[gusty kiln]

Or longer usb instead

The headphone is 3.5 so it'll work

[old marlin]

if it is about total length I would heavily recommend that yea

[gusty kiln]

But the cable won't

[old marlin]

man I got my idb out again, this thing is so nice to type on

has the exact right amount of rebound etc for me

[fair gull]

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

new ahoy video

[gusty kiln]

I would recommend a longer USB-C cable to get the dongle closer to you than reaching your headphone cable to it

[graceful wedge]

Oh that sounds neat, ig I’ll have no issues when the adapter comes

[graceful wedge]

I got the 6.6ft one instead of the 1ft one

The adapters going to be on my desk, so it’s not going to be far

[old marlin]

that won't plug into the dawn

[gusty kiln]

the cable you bought won't work because it is a 6.35mm while the dongle only have 3.5 and 4.4

[old marlin]

good thing is you would not need a dongle cause the dawn already has a 3.5mm output

[gusty kiln]

I guess he wanted a longer able so he can walk around the room with the headphone on

[old marlin]

maybe?

[graceful wedge]

I like to go in the kitchen a lot

[graceful wedge]

I cancelled it

[final flame]

yea, that's 1/4inch aka 6.35mm

dawn pro only has 3.5mm and 4.4mm

[verbal nimbus]

What are some good headphones

[final flame]

what budget?

[steady sail]

and the monitor that i wanted now is out of stock

[verbal nimbus]

Around 100

[alpine radish]

I like my Corsair Hs80 maxs

[verbal nimbus]

How much is it

[final flame]

better off getting iems at that price point
but closed back or open backs? and do you need a microphone

[alpine radish]

it was 250 Canadian so a bit over budget

For the wireless

[verbal nimbus]

microphone not needed

[verbal nimbus]

im US

[final flame]

open back or closed back?

[verbal nimbus]

what does this mean

[final flame]

open backs sound generally better but allow both sound to leak and enter in, they don't isolate well
closed backs isolate better but they sound generally worse

[verbal nimbus]

im okay with open backs

i also sometimes wear glasses are there headphones that are glasses friendly?

[fiery lance]

I NEED HELP

[gusty kiln]

HE400SE is 110 on amazon

[final flame]

^

I would also pick the he400se

[steady sail]

With what ?

[final flame]

only other option would be the koss trio

[gusty kiln]

that's prob the default $100 recommendation

[final flame]

https://www.amazon.com/HIFIMAN-Audiophiles-Great-Sounding-Sensitivity-Comfortable/dp/B08Z2SK5C4

I love my Zero: Reds

[final flame]

well they want headphones

[steady sail]

Yeah

[gusty kiln]

it's crazy that the Aryas are only 650 now on amazon

[late grove]

HE-R9

https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/he-r9-openbox-750.html

[gusty nexus]

I don't think they're good..

[late grove]

Have you heard them?

[gusty nexus]

no but closed back hifiman tend to suck

[late grove]

Then keep quiet.

[gusty nexus]

you ?

[late grove]

Yes, I own a pair.

[gusty nexus]

what other gear do you have ?

[late grove]

Edition X, Utopia, Lambda Nova, SR-404, HD600

Had a couple more but sold them.

[gusty nexus]

nice

[late grove]

KSC75, ZX-610, Azurys... I think that's it.

[gusty nexus]

how do they sound ?

[late grove]

It has some of the best 360 positional accuracy. Can rival the best headphones out there like Arya and HE1000. Tho not quite HD800S.
It's only downside is the slighty muted presentation. I would say open back headphones still nail the distance accuracy more. But it's not a huge problem.
As an example the HD600 is unusable for me in gaming due to the lack of soundstage. Everything will sound very close to you. I have had several times here I heard an enemy basically breathing down my neck so I panic and then realize that they are about 10 meters away in the room next to me.
But that's an extreme example. I am just pointing this out that some headphones can indeed be very bad for gaming.
HE-R9 does have pretty good soundstage due to it's cup shape design. It has this permanent cave sound effect which makes things sound bigger than you may expect from a closed back. But again, now as good and pinpoint as Arya or even KSC75 for example. But it's VERY good at directional stuff.
Also doesn't scale with amps so you can save money there.

I do also like it for music. I don't think it sounds as horrid as the squig graphs make it out to be. Yes I would say on average something like HD600 does sound better but it also costs 2-3 times more.
HE-R9 works wonders with EDM and for some reason vocal tracks. I think the way most modern music is made you can get away with funky tuning and it will still sound good.

[gusty nexus]

👀

[final flame]

they're utter shit, don't reccomend them

[final flame]

hifiman closed backs are notoriously bad for a reason

[late grove]

Have you heard them?

[gusty nexus]

wtf is this ??

[final flame]

I don't need to hear them to know how bad they are, not to mention how many people in the community who have heard them and gave the exact same take
they're hot garbage

[late grove]

Then keep quiet. 🙂

[final flame]

frequency response graph, it shows objectively how a headphone measures

[pastel nacelle]

[gusty nexus]

I know, I was talking about the frequency response 😅

[final flame]

mg pro is aight, if you can get the og version they'd be better

[late grove]

It's alright. one day you will realize that graphs aren't the final answer.

[gusty nexus]

it's true

[final flame]

there's a reason why I said reviewer takes aswell

[gusty nexus]

but it show a side of the products

[late grove]

And all the misinformation you have posted online before that will come back to haunt you.

[pastel nacelle]

Anyone ever purchase focals?

[late grove]

I have Utopia

[final flame]

I have 2, bathys and a clear og

[late grove]

And Azurys

Had Bathys

[steady sail]

[pastel nacelle]

I was thunking abouy Clears

[sharp badger]

Are the Bathys worth picking up?

[old marlin]

"issue" with clears is that og clears are only aftermarket and then to still go for quite a bit

[final flame]

not if you're in the US, headphones.com still has new units

[late grove]

Do you absolutely need a bluetooth headphone and the world will end if you don't get one?

[old marlin]

💀 rip me ig

fml look at these earpads

[sharp badger]

I've got the Maxwell but those will just stay at the PC

[verbal nimbus]

i heard hyperx makes decent headphones are they worth it?

[late grove]

Then no.

[late grove]

No.

[old marlin]

they are worth it in the headset market, not in the headphone market

[fiery lance]

I NEED to Change my order, i accidently forgot the keycaps

[steady sail]

Send an email at [e-mail]

[sharp badger]

Was just thinking of getting some headphones for walking/traveling but maybe i should just wait for some new Sony XM6

[reef patrol]

And don't forget to put your order on hold on our hub in the meantime.

[gusty kiln]

some people might pay extra for the "Pro" tax though

[old marlin]

comes with an extra pair of fresh ones but still

that set is only 5 years old

[verbal nimbus]

only 69 USD which is pretty nice do they beat the he400se?

[final flame]

the gamer red tax

[sharp badger]

What's peoples choice of TWS here?

[final flame]

app2

[gusty kiln]

the pro version always cost a little more even though it's litterally just a different skin

Buds FE cuz I got them free with my phone

[old marlin]

here you pick the one you can get, atm no used non-pro on sale

and I feel like I tend to see the pro variant a lot more often as well

[sharp badger]

What do you think off the call quality of those?

[old marlin]

bluetooth always sucks for call quality

due to how bluetooth audio works atm

[gusty kiln]

pretty decent

[sharp badger]

Yeah it's just practical, i'm walking a lot & usually in a call or listening to something

[gusty kiln]

Apparently the Buds Pro 3 are really good at calls, but that's $270

[fiery lance]

I put it on hold and did the automátic answer for the order edit how.long does it take for them to respond

[astral haven]

i read up in the convo and that is backwards
you need a 3.5mm jack to 1/4 headphone adapter
but my 560s came with a 6.5 to 3.5 adapter in the box, and new ones should be a 3.5 with a screw on 6.5 adapter

[alpine patio]

ok so

[alpine patio]

how tf did brk go up 4% in 5 days?

[fickle ore]

nice try Warren

[astral haven]

there was a bit of a panik in the markets, should just be a rebound?

[verbal nimbus]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7DS1QHZ?tag=bad058-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=true

are these good?

[alpine patio]

yes'

[astral haven]

very

[alpine patio]

you see criniacle

its good

[astral haven]

gotta like bass tho

[final flame]

I would personally reccomend the red version over the blues, but both are good options

[verbal nimbus]

difference isnt just the color?

[astral haven]

nah

[final flame]

different tuning

[fickle ore]

https://tenor.com/view/guitar-gif-19821127

[astral haven]

blue has more bass

[verbal nimbus]

for gaming red or blue

[alpine patio]

any

[astral haven]

both amazing, get cheaper or blue if you like more bass

[alpine patio]

wait

[final flame]

blue is more harman which has more elevated upper midrange and bass
while red is more of a relaxed upper midrange

[alpine patio]

isnt the reds on sale?

with a bundle

https://hangout.audio/collections/combos

[verbal nimbus]

on amazon blue is 49.99 and red 45.99

[alpine patio]

get whichever

[verbal nimbus]

do they have a more expensive version around 80?

[verbal nimbus]

how does a dongle improve the sound like the one in the bundle

[astral haven]

some headphone jacks are real noisy, dongle is known good

if you dont hear buzzing or hissing, theres no need for a dongle

[umbral heron]

Ayooo, KA17, me nugget

[astral haven]

thx aaa tech real goated

[final flame]

thx really doesn't mean much, it's just a certification which dacs/amps can apply for

it just basically means it measures neutral

[astral haven]

AAA is a specific circuit

very different from the thx badge

https://www.thx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/aaachart-1024x847.png

[final flame]

interesting

[astral haven]

basically its an array of opamps wired up in a fancy way that cancels out each others noise and uses feedback to lower distortions

What do you have on the CTRL?

[final flame]

don't get the space one, please

hifiman he400se is the best 100 headphone?

good sound quality for gaming i dont care about music, comfortable, good build quality is what i look for

[final flame]

good sounding for music, generally means good for gaming
gaming realistically can be done with anything though
