[fierce terrace]

its tech talk

[scarlet grotto]

dam mb og

[steep creek]

aha visual intelligence is pretty cool

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[steep creek]

seems useful as well

[sharp badger]

Yup

[vapid ruin]

Advance embedding model, if it's really good as it says, its gonna be goated

Huh, it uses gpt4o

[steep creek]

ohh i forgot they're working with chatgpt now

[scarlet jackal]

This actually seems insane

[steep creek]

yea it was revealed back in wwdc

[fierce terrace]

~2025 in EU sadge

[scarlet jackal]

I wonder how cases will be designed for the iPhone 16

[steep creek]

ohh nice that touch button thingy does seem nice

[scarlet jackal]

Oh wow

[fierce terrace]

probably with a hole for camera button

[scarlet jackal]

3rd party app support off the bat for the capture button

Atleast Snapchat

Pretty cool

[steep creek]

allthough it seems a bit low to use one handed, at least to me. i assume its best to use holding the phone horizontally

[vapid ruin]

If you rest the phone on your palm, could be possible

[steep creek]

maybe yeah

[vapid ruin]

mmm, soo many AI

[scarlet jackal]

I’m liking a lot of these features

Interested to see what the pro will offer more tho

Hard to see what more other than better camera quality and 120hz

GAMING

[steep creek]

lol gaming?

[sharp badger]

A18 Pro

[scarlet jackal]

Idk that’s what they’re talking about rn

[fierce terrace]

💀

[scarlet jackal]

Ray tracing lol

[shadow minnow]

Hardware rt on phones is kinda funny

[vapid ruin]

Ray tracing on iphone before gta 6

[shadow minnow]

Also why was that plant so pixelated

[fierce terrace]

it is on my 15 too

[shadow minnow]

Pro or not

[vapid ruin]

ooo

[steep creek]

i dont care about ray tracing give me good battery life

[fierce terrace]

but who tf play such games on iphone

[vapid ruin]

Wukong on iphone

I wonder how much tencent payed apple for that AD

[steady sail]

Im gonna be fine one my lil iphone 14 for a few more years lmao

[sharp badger]

Just want good cameras & battery life

[steep creek]

yea im keeping my 14 haha

[smoky frigate]

I'm married to motorola for their gestures now

[fierce terrace]

maybe on ip 17's we will see

[scarlet jackal]

Here you go 2 seconds of battery talk

[fierce terrace]

that ai shit is draining battery as hell

[steep creek]

oh is it pro time yet

[vapid ruin]

mmm, pink iphone

[steady sail]

Same

[scarlet jackal]

Why do they always use these kind of songs for the trailers

[fierce terrace]

bigger*

[scarlet jackal]

Of course

[fierce terrace]

biggest*

[steep creek]

you know better than to use such words

[gusty nexus]

👀

[scarlet jackal]

Pro time?

[steep creek]

yesh

[sharp badger]

These action buttons feel like a throwback to old phones

[fierce terrace]

let him cook

[steep creek]

lol the cinematics are beautiful i admit, but it looks the same

[sharp badger]

New design?

[steep creek]

i cant see anything new here apart from that touch button on the side

[sharp badger]

Which is nice

[fierce terrace]

thinner bezels/slightly better camera/chip for in-house a.i/new colors

[steep creek]

yep

[vapid ruin]

6.9 noice

[shadow minnow]

Why did they make the colors so ugly

[fierce terrace]

ip 15 pro reminder

[steady sail]

Ah yes grade 5 titanium

[shadow minnow]

Really wanted to get one

But idt I will now

[leaden kiln]

New buttons to accidentally press! Right where one might grip

[fierce terrace]

just wait for 17's

[steep creek]

i'd put it in a case anyways lol

[shadow minnow]

My phone is not in a state for that

[sharp badger]

Desert titanium is kinda nice

[fierce terrace]

if you dont need it at work then its fine i guess

[steep creek]

personally im not a fan of the colors either, but i can see the appeal

[shadow minnow]

All I want is blue

There’s no blue

[sharp badger]

I'd probably just get any with silver sides

[shadow minnow]

I am considering getting 15 pro instead now

I really hoped the leaks were wrong

[steady sail]

I mean i would just go with a iphone 16 plus anyway xd

[fierce terrace]

get 15 plus or 15 pro max if you care about battery

[steep creek]

usb 3 aha

[sharp badger]

This was just meh don't feel the need to switch from the S23U

[steep creek]

yeah i feel most of the changes were software here

[leaden kiln]

Minor generational lift as usual nowadays
I'll upgrade my phone when the battery gets too cooked or I inevitably break it

[fierce terrace]

it is a phone for 13's/14's users whos battery got already cooked

[sharp badger]

Yup or earlier models

[leaden kiln]

My pockets are big I can just carry a powerbank :copium:

[steady sail]

Mine is still fine tho i bought in 2023 december

[sharp badger]

Maybe i'll switch to the iPhone Fold once that releases lol

[fierce terrace]

i hope that 17's will be more "innovative" unless they will delay it till 18's

[steady sail]

Im sure they gonna delay some stuff to later models anyway

[fierce terrace]

after 2/3 years it will be dogshit

[fierce terrace]

yeah but every 2 gen's they implement more stuff than usual

[sharp badger]

Yeah then it's due for a battery change

[fierce terrace]

example ip 15 pro's with usb-c

[shadow minnow]

Lmao that’s a good callout of usual cinema scenes with explosions

[steady sail]

I mean im either gonna upgrade to the iphone 19 or 18 pro but may time tell

[rough osprey]

damn these upgrades mid af

[fierce terrace]

there wont be 19's

more like

iphone XX

[rough osprey]

rip my stock

[fierce terrace]

but my bet is they will call it just iPhone since the XX sounds hilarious

[sharp badger]

That camera control is nice though

[scarlet jackal]

I was interrupted during the 16 pro announcement

What did I miss

[fierce terrace]

https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/09/iphone-16-pro-announced-features/

[scarlet jackal]

13 Pro Max I’ve had since September 2022

[leaden kiln]

[scarlet jackal]

(If it sends)

[fierce terrace]

damn that was even more boring than ip 14 pros

[scarlet jackal]

I think I go non pro this year D:

[fierce terrace]

with such battery life

just wait for 17's

[scarlet jackal]

I can’t

I have to either pay 500$ to keep my current phone

Or upgrade

Unless I go 15 pro

[fierce terrace]

why would you need to pay 500$ to keep it?

[steady sail]

91% is pretty good tho xd

[scarlet jackal]

Contract but reverse pay up front

[fierce terrace]

aaah

scammed

[scarlet jackal]

I don’t mind it

I upgrade every 2 years usually

And it lowers my monthly fee without paying much up front

It was a crazy good deal for the 2 years I’ve had it

Just sucks now that it’s over hehe

[leaden kiln]

Man love me some detailed battery information
Totally useless lol

[scarlet jackal]

Haha

[steady sail]

Lul

Before i bought my iphone 14 i was thinking going for a s22u

[frozen ingot]

if am going android again it'll be sony

[fierce terrace]

sony 💀

[frozen ingot]

assmung 💀

[leaden kiln]

I didn't really wanna go for samsung since my last experience wasn't great, but I really couldn't stand how bad my pixel was
Was considering an iphone but I decided to give samsung a shot again

[fickle ore]

Wow I got samsung A15 128gb its so good

[fierce terrace]

lets be serious there is no competition to samsung and apple in smarphone area

[frozen ingot]

I was burned twice by their shoddy quality, actually more times than that but not with their phones, just assmung stuff in general

[fickle ore]

tbf most of the world owns something not apple

[scarlet jackal]

I don’t get it so they talked mostly about AI features for the Pro, but are they entailing some AI features won’t be available on the base 16?

[balmy vector]

I will compete with them, i will make edible phones

[steady sail]

Yep

Ai is only on the pro models

[leaden kiln]

I had an A series Samsung before and that was my poor experience
I've had their headphones for a bit longer though and I do like those

[scarlet jackal]

But they talked about AI on the base 16

[fierce terrace]

what?

[fickle ore]

Intel poggers https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1fci8ax/intel_we_have_the_worlds_fastest_integrated_gpu/

XD

[scarlet jackal]

I’m lost 😂😅

[fickle ore]

most of the world owns some chinese phone

[raw nimbus]

new iphone is actually same as iphone 15 pro, just 1 extra button for camera + somewhat better camera that wont be noticeable tf

also 15 pro has the ai features

[pastel nacelle]

Just buy a Android.

[vapid ruin]

Can agree, most of the people I know do so

[leaden kiln]

ew

[pastel nacelle]

Theres already samsung in apple products

Might as well accept it fully.

[leaden kiln]

poor people amiritr lads

[fierce terrace]

apple and samsung got biggest market shares alltogether

[fickle ore]

heh true I just checked wtf I remember reading soem chinese brands are more popular

[pastel nacelle]

Apple screens and memory are made by Samsung

Go buy a samsung.

[gusty kiln]

I enjoy my S24U

[pastel nacelle]

Iphones are 90% a samsung phone.

[fickle ore]

yea but Oppo + Vivo are same brand BBK

stupid to separate them

[raw nimbus]

i dont even know a single person using oppo or vivo

[gusty kiln]

a lot in the EU

[raw nimbus]

im in eu

[gusty kiln]

which part

[scarlet jackal]

Just let people enjoy iPhones for what they are, I don’t give a fuck about what’s in the phone I just like having an iPhone period

[steady sail]

Mostly elderly in Hungary atleast

[gusty kiln]

I also wonder about india

[pastel nacelle]

India makes discount iphones.

[raw nimbus]

spain/bulgaria

[fickle ore]

BBK actually owns Vivo, Oppo, Oneplus, IQOO and Realme os just lump them into 1

[frozen ingot]

without the samsung slop

[rough osprey]

i only see samsung apple and google

[gusty kiln]

meant india using vivo/oppo

[frozen ingot]

based chinese rejecting assmung

[pastel nacelle]

No apple moved manafacturers to india so people would stop filming the suicide nets.

[fickle ore]

India is just way cheaper than china nowadays

[gusty kiln]

I thought they moved to vietnam

[sharp badger]

Went from Oneplus to Samsung and been very happy with that

[pastel nacelle]

Ever bought a pair of made in India Air Pods

[fierce terrace]

thats a shitty business

[gusty kiln]

samsung is a solid experience for most users

[pastel nacelle]

In korea.

Samsung and LG make everything

Houses, beds

Medical

[frozen ingot]

yeah samsung basically owns south korea

its a corpodystopia

[pastel nacelle]

Hardware tools.

[gusty kiln]

and long range defense missles

[pastel nacelle]

Land to Air turrets.

[gusty kiln]

with perfect range to the DMZ

[pastel nacelle]

Ergo

Samsung>apple

[sharp badger]

Don't know what brand i'd like to go to after this Samsung though

[gusty kiln]

too bad a lot of koreans use iPhones

[frozen ingot]

I bet they could strike kim jong uns bedroom with ease from across the border if they really wanted

[gusty kiln]

prob

[fickle ore]

id bang samsung bed

[pastel nacelle]

Doubt

[distant tapir]

I have an Asus Zenfone 10. (Insert gigachad emoji)

[gusty kiln]

the US prob has given them everything they need to percision strike NK

[pastel nacelle]

In korea they use lg/samsung.

For the 4k underskirt shots.

[sharp badger]

Nice, headphone jack

[pastel nacelle]

Why would you own a phone that makes a shutter noise.

[gusty kiln]

but iPhone has the best video recording

[fickle ore]

tbh wish Skorea were less xenophobic wud be wayy easier to mvoe there

[pastel nacelle]

When you up to no good.

[gusty kiln]

most Asian countries are

[sharp badger]

iPhone and video is just 🤝

[fickle ore]

yeah sucks

[pastel nacelle]

Nah

[fickle ore]

id wanna retire in SE asia or SK

[gusty kiln]

maybe except singapore cuz there are a lot of different types of people there

[pastel nacelle]

All the toilet vids are done with korean phones.

[frozen ingot]

am not sure I want to know why you know this

or telling us

[pastel nacelle]

Prove people use noniphones to an extreme degree.

In korea.

[gusty kiln]

going to a hawker station is on my to-do list for travel

[pastel nacelle]

In korea for anti stalker/ privacy.

Phones come preprogrammed with a shutter noise.

People uninstall that.

Which is why they recommend you be careful when you travel to Seoul.

[leaden kiln]

ur a creep bro gtfo
get better hobbies

[pastel nacelle]

Its regular news.

[steady sail]

I mean it is true that sk has stalker issues

[smoky frigate]

always filming each other poopin'

[pastel nacelle]

SK Shutter Law 2004

[leaden kiln]

I never said you lied it's just weird that you're so eager to bring it up and keep forcing it into the conversation when people are just talking about what phones they like

[pastel nacelle]

Ya guys mentioned a lot of koreans use Iphones.

Counter argument.

[fierce terrace]

oh no the android vs iphone war

[frozen ingot]

never gets old eh

[mint path]

https://tenor.com/view/nokia-blazej-gif-1899083954516580441

[sharp badger]

Yuh

[leaden kiln]

25%(according to counterpoint statistics) is a lot, even if samsung has a larger share

[frozen ingot]

my very first phone evar

[fierce terrace]

android users will never forgive apples software/firmware stability

even tho they got most innovations nowadays

[sharp badger]

I do like iPhones but there's much more interesting phones out there

[leaden kiln]

I like both ✌️

[frozen ingot]

I do miss the features and openness of android at times but the polish of ios is a notch above

they both have pros and cons

[sharp badger]

Yeah and if i'd ever get a tablet again i'd just go for an iPad

Samsung have some decent ones though

[marsh glade]

How dare you have a balanced perspective, avoiding tribalism with reason.

[frozen ingot]

am not really a super power user on a phone, I do my discording, youtubing, taking pics, messaging and some browsing and that's about it

[frozen ingot]

ikr, simping for a corpo is where its at

[leaden kiln]

Actually the liking of android is kind of with an asterisk because it very much depends on whos android it is

[frozen ingot]

that too

the implementations vary a lot across models and manufacturers

[lyric hatch]

The one I bought is the best obviously

[frozen ingot]

of course, I spent a lot of money on it after all, it can't be anything but the best or I might have gotten played

[steep creek]

oh let me fix that, my preference > your preference

[leaden kiln]

Come on mine is obviously the best though

[balmy vector]

Yeah no, i think this rock i got is better

[smoky frigate]

wired headphone user detected

[steep creek]

never. i only use wireless audio gear

[smoky frigate]

GASP

[steep creek]

audio gear is a stretch lol, im talking airpods

[leaden kiln]

I would be wired but I have been way too close to destroying cables on iems
Safer to be wireless

[sharp badger]

Kinda interested in getting the Artti T10 to test out

[frozen ingot]

surprised hiyori hasn't shown up yet given phones are being discussed

[leaden kiln]

Samsung is trying to convince me this is headphones and not just a fridge magnet

[compact relic]

what's people's experience with Asus TUF line of products?

Never paid much attention to them but found some interesting stuff on sale

[leaden kiln]

My motherboard was fine

[sharp badger]

3080 TUF is doing fine

[frozen ingot]

why do asus even have two gaming branches

rog and tuf

[leaden kiln]

So they can milk both poor people and rich people

[sharp badger]

Could call things Rog and Rog Pro lol

[steady sail]

ROG was always their “premium” line TUF is their “cheaper” alternative

[ashen spindle]

^

[frozen ingot]

ok so just marketing

[ashen spindle]

yup

[steady sail]

And in still rocking with a asus tuf b450 plus gaming board with a 5800x3d in it

[frozen ingot]

I have a rog strix b450-f, didn't pay for it myself tho

if I did I'd just bought the cheapest one with the right specs kek

[lucid robin]

guys how good are the wooting stabalizers

[frozen ingot]

which ones

[sharp badger]

Don't think you need to change them

[lucid robin]

60he module

[frozen ingot]

the plate mounts aren't bad, but am really no expert

[leaden kiln]

I went from tuf to rog but when I upgraded the cheapest one with the features I wanted was expensive 😭

[lucid robin]

yeah but stock its sounds pretty shit and im concerned that if i do end up lubing it itll still rattle and id have to buy new ones

[fierce terrace]

even tho cheaper sometimes it performs better

[lucid robin]

anyone wanna hear my current keyboard?

[pastel nacelle]

I live next to a neighborhood where people throw out year old rigs lol.

And throw away perfectly good bikes.

[frozen ingot]

dem parts be pingponging in price

[leaden kiln]

mitx so price was already doomed
Could've been better but another model wasn't in stock when i was buying

[pastel nacelle]

Who buys a Shimano just to throw it away e_e

[compact relic]

what i read ROG is targeted at pure performance audience and TUF is more affordable but like "rugged", good quality or someshit like that

But that's their own marketing idk what the reality is

[pastel nacelle]

One of the better life hacks Ive seen is a PC shop that buys junk cards and sells them for parts.

Low ball a 3090 for $200.

[proud kayak]

I got an msi pro z690-a wifi

Intel 12700k

Rtx 3070ti OC

32gb 6000mhz cl30

[pastel nacelle]

All for the low low price of free from a spiteful wife who thinks her husband plays too much pc games?

[proud kayak]

I undervolted the gpu

[pastel nacelle]

(Around here thats not too far from an alien concept).

Local elderly lady got kidnap scammed 25k.

[bright briar]

anyone see the iphone 16 event ? lmfao

[pastel nacelle]

The new iPhone 16. We now have app locking as a brand new feature.

As if it never was done before.

Lets also make 3rd party watches interface like dog poop.

[proud kayak]

I never understood why anyone would get a smartwatch.. I prefer a proper mechanical watch ⌚

[pastel nacelle]

Duh

Mechanical kinetic watch.

1 battery = like 5 years.

Smart watch battery blooms in 1.5 years.

[bright briar]

fr man apple is delusional

[fickle ore]

smart ring > smart watch

[proud kayak]

I do have a quartz watch with battery for work, a g-shock gmb2100, but I like actually mechanical watches that you have to wind or have a rotor that winds the watch automatically when you wear it

[bright briar]

rbg around the screen when you use siri, samsung already had this

[pastel nacelle]

I have a wind up pocket watch.

It came with Final Fantasy 13 Lightning Returns.

[bright briar]

people want the notch gone and have finger scanning on the screen

Apple response " CAMERA ACTION BUTTON!!!?!?! "

[leaden kiln]

I definitely prefer faceid to fingerprint scanners, but if I'm using fingerprint I'd much rather it be in the powerbutton than underscreen

[sharp badger]

For training? i'd also like some more smart features on my Garmin, would like a camera app for it

[bright briar]

face id for apple is trash, after you use it you still have to swipe up to unlock the screen instead of unlocking the phone for you....

[pastel nacelle]

Face ID lol.

[leaden kiln]

I liked that, also love the way notification content is hidden until you look at the phone
Not saying you have to like it, just that I preferred it

[pastel nacelle]

Face id not work if you try with siblings.

Or makeup.

[bright briar]

they could take away the notch and then have the dynamic island appear

[pastel nacelle]

What if we just deleted the front facing camera.

[bright briar]

apple could be doing more for the prices theyre charging

[pastel nacelle]

No notch no dot.

[leaden kiln]

I have no notch and no dot

[pastel nacelle]

Keep the cia agent from edging to to my mog.

[bright briar]

i mean theres a reason why apple is only successful in NA and doing bad everywhere else

[zinc thistle]

hello, idk where to say this but i’m currently having issues on startup. During the boot, the keyboard flashes on then off, normally it flashes on after that and stays on during startup. However, when i reach the sign in page, my keyboard is off, no LEDs, nothing. I’ve unplugged and waited, still nothing. I then restarted and managed to get into bios, which confirms to me the keyboard is working, not sure what the issue may be, any ideas?

[pastel nacelle]

Because old people and people indoctrinated early for status/ useability think they cant migrate their data and communication software to android OS?

Or that apps dont exist for this reason to export said data.

[leaden kiln]

In what way are they doing bad?

[pastel nacelle]

Iphone pulled a power move having many of business having work related software that interfaces poorly with PC anyway and mandatory for work comms.

Back with the iPhone 3 and 4

[bright briar]

in other continents sales wise for starters. Maybe because they copy all of android features years later and call it innovating

they dont do well in Asia and Europe which is a bigger market

[leaden kiln]

At least in europe they seem to have massive market share from all the data I've seen

[pastel nacelle]

The same reason Im still on Windows 7 is the same reason app developers still exist on iOS vs android.

[ashen spindle]

because you like to have lacking security and want to become part of a botnet?

[leaden kiln]

I hope you also don't connect your computer to the internet yeah

[raw prawn]

If he’s typing here on what’s likely a phone, I somehow doubt he’s not also using the internet on his pc.

[pastel nacelle]

Oh no I dont have interweb security. Lol

[frozen ingot]

yeah haha who needs security right

only these bozos who doesn't know how to browse

[pastel nacelle]

My dude I only went to windows 7 cuz it was free.

From my college MSAA

Then i started sellin the volume key.

Vista was doo doo.

XP ran WoW fine.

[frozen ingot]

vista was fine once the service packs were implemented

ran it for a few years before 7 came along

[pastel nacelle]

We had that in the library

For half a year.

We reverted to XP

[frozen ingot]

90% of people who complained about vista ran it on rigs too shitty to run it properly

[pastel nacelle]

And run the school server with SUN

Well no shit lol.

Vists ran like crud on a computer from 94.

[frozen ingot]

what do you mean my pentium 4 from 1999 won't offer a sufficient user experience

[pastel nacelle]

CRT monitors were peak at gud.

[frozen ingot]

my guy windows xp wouldn't run on most computers from 1994

[pastel nacelle]

Naw it did.

It just took. 13 minutes.

Thats plenty of time for me to make food.

And eat before gaming.

Before i wait 2 hours to log into wow.

Bring back 2-3 hour log in queues.

Teach people patience.

Or the nature of brute forcing yourself into world 1-10 in runescape.

For high payout ores.

Then someone uses the phone :')

[scarlet jackal]

I lowkey miss Vista

[pastel nacelle]

Imagine you gaming.

[scarlet jackal]

It has its flaws but I just liked how it was designed

[pastel nacelle]

Then your sister or mom uses the phone.

To talk for 2 hours

[scarlet jackal]

I don’t miss dialup tho

[pastel nacelle]

Cuz after 9pm its free.

[scarlet jackal]

I’m very happy with optic

[frozen ingot]

the last few years of vista was basically 98% like windows 7 which everyone praised to high heavens

[raw prawn]

Vista was fine so long as you didn’t run it on your garbagebox from five years before vista.

[pastel nacelle]

Windows XP + GTX 570 + 8gb of ram from G.skill on a gateway 60lb tower.

With 2 cores!

[scarlet jackal]

My only experience with Vista was my grandmothers computer, I went straight from Windows 2000 to 7

[frozen ingot]

the sound makes me nostalgic, everything else I don't miss as much

[raw prawn]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0

[pastel nacelle]

Dial up tone is fake.

So is dialtone

On modern phones.

People cant cope with silence while dialing.

[raw prawn]

I haven’t heard a dial tone on my phone since I used a rotary phone in 1997

[scarlet jackal]

Eh it’s decently accurate, it fulfills the need of being stereotypically nostalgic

But it definitely didn’t sound this consistent atleast when I had it

[pastel nacelle]

The dialtone was invented in 1908

It was so you knew the landline was operational.

I miss only dialing 7 numbers.

For bell atlantic.

(You only had to dial area codes for out of county.)

[raw prawn]

I haven’t had to dial a number regularly for a while either. Most of the people I call are in my address book or just a button after I look them up on some search engine.

[pastel nacelle]

I pay for dsl internet.

The internet provider has fiberoptic lines.

They have been trying to scam me for years to change policies.

[raw prawn]

How is it a scam

[pastel nacelle]

I get fios anyway

For dirt cheap.

For a locked in DSL plan.

Phone/internet and cable for only $30.

The old I am 31 and have grandfathered isp contracts.

Get Scamazed Optimum.

Your 29.95 triple play contract has you pinned down like a sow to the slaughter.

Verizon as well.

My monthly payments is still 29.99 for unlimited mobile data :3.

[pastel nacelle]

ISP and Mobile have been calling me for years to renegotiate my lifetime contract benefits.

I also have unlimited oil changes, wheel alignment, shocks, and battery from my local
Honda dealership.

See

When you have lifetime guarantees.

You buy them.

[little silo]

glory to my king Optimum

[open ruin]

How much data tho

For 29.99

[steep creek]

nice summary of the apple event for those who want a tldw

[open ruin]

And phone service? Idk

[open ruin]

Sounds like I'll skip this year too. I have an iPhone 14 pro max and still nothing worth upgrading to

[steep creek]

yeah thats fair. i also have that phone and think its too early to upgrade for now

[umbral heron]

So... basically iPhone 15 with a sprinkle of AI?

[steep creek]

can say its 14 due to the unchanged design haha

[open ruin]

I wanna downgrade to regular pro, I learned that I don't like big phones

I only got it for the battery

[umbral heron]

6.3" is still huge
That's like phablet territory

[steep creek]

they're pretty big, size was increased a tiny bit this year from previous models

i agree with daegs tho, battery life of the max is the only reason why i get one as well haha

no orange band launch though, guess i finally have to get another color

[umbral heron]

Ayo
They finally made pink pretty pink, not pink fugly dirty salmon whatever pink

[steep creek]

neat, second from right is my jam

non pro iphone gets all the cool colors lol

[minor citrus]

as is tradition

[steep creek]

yep same goes for macs

[umbral heron]

I wish smasnug would make phone in such colors

[steep creek]

to be fair tho i would just put a case on it day one

can get a colored case

[umbral heron]

I don't have a case on mine

[minor citrus]

no case gang for 10 years in a row going strong

[vapid ruin]

I like this pink

[steep creek]

haha fair enough. i drop my phone too much to go caseless

[vapid ruin]

But I'm too poor for apple

[umbral heron]

I'd get it if I could snuck Android onto it

[steep creek]

you dont want apple intelligence?

[minor citrus]

only once did a drop shatter glass on mine, and that was a small stone on a tiled bathroom floor cracking the 4s backglass 😦

[sudden imp]

I hate how the white is an off white

GIVE ME BACK MY SALMON

[steep creek]

ive broken a few screen protectors but i like to think that they saved my actual screen in return

also pretty badly damaged the case, or multiple cases

[umbral heron]

That's... too much

1400€

[minor citrus]

yeah, the extra storage upgrade cost is no joke

[steep creek]

oh its cheaper here, thats rare

[umbral heron]

Why can't I just stick my microSD in there?

[steep creek]

wait you selected 512

[umbral heron]

I have 128 in the phone and 256 on SD right now

[steep creek]

i have 256 but currently have never managed to go over 120

but yeah their storage prices are quite high, no denying that

[distant tapir]

Still a scam.

[pastel nacelle]

Unlimited

[umbral heron]

I have SD full of FLACs and favourite TV shows and movies

[pastel nacelle]

I have a dvd album of everything from blockbuster.

It was my mom's hobby don't ask.

[open ruin]

Im referring to your home internet speeds

Or is that deal only for your phone lines

[pastel nacelle]

I get seven hundred down and four hundred up.

Usually during the day

[open ruin]

Phone, home internet for 29.99 all together?

[pastel nacelle]

Yup

[steep creek]

ah thats fair then, i just do some reading on the phone while outside

[minor citrus]

you could get a micro sd usb-c card reader and live with less storage maybe? 🤔

[pastel nacelle]

2004 plans.

[open ruin]

Idk if I wanna call bs on it, but that's awesome a phone line and internet package that high back in the day was non existent tho for consumers

[pastel nacelle]

Basically everything behind 2010 Deals were crazy good.

Optimum had a really great deal back then, when they first introduced the triple play.

[umbral heron]

I do my reading on e-reader, best thing I could've buy in the last few years

[pastel nacelle]

Then they regretted it

I only ever get two phone calls on the landline.

Scam likely or an optimum rep.

[umbral heron]

Why would I want to purposefully inconvenience myself?
And how would I plug in my headphonies then?

[steep creek]

its time to go ||wired||

wait i am tired, i was meant to type wireless there

[minor citrus]

well if you're convinced you need your cables, go with a hub then

[umbral heron]

Again, sounds like major inconvenience

[lyric hatch]

512gb is a lot of storage for sure

paying that apple tax for the storage upgrade

[minor citrus]

I'm happy they went 256gb default on the pro, that was the only upgrade I bought each time

[lucid robin]

nah thats what id get considering if u are gonna get the new 16 series the ios updates will get bigger with each year and ur also probably gonna keep the phone for the next 5 years

that didnt make sense mb

you get what i mean tho

[steep creek]

ios itself is not that big to be fair, i personally have not noticed it increase in size as ive updated past few years

[umbral heron]

To be honest if I had dedicated DAP this would be my phone
And if that phone would have some TOTP app

[lucid robin]

damn i went from 11 gigs on ios 15 to 35 gigs on ios 18

[steep creek]

o wow

[minor citrus]

release candidate 18.0 update had a 7.X GB download just now

[ashen spindle]

download size doesnt matter since it replaces files and doesnt just add on top

[steep creek]

yep

[lucid robin]

could be alot of bloatware tho since i didnt clean my storage since i got the phone

[lyric hatch]

still stuck on 60hz on base iPhone 16

[lucid robin]

i got 40 gigs on photos and 20 on Spotify so i dont need snything bigger than 256

[lucid robin]

honestly get the 13 pro or 14 pro. still cheaper than the new iphone 16 base line

[frozen ingot]

I got a 13 and its great

[umbral heron]

My smasnug 200€ nugget has 120Hz screen

[distant tapir]

Apple always does annoying crap like that.

[steep creek]

my eyes are on fairphone, if only they bump up specs a little bit i will seriously start considering one

[lucid robin]

id rather keep my 13 pro than have the 16 base even if it means i get it for free. 120hz is so smooth and i cant imagine going back to 60

[steep creek]

but then again 2027 is not far away

[lucid robin]

they could have done 90hz at minimum

the phones 800 usd and 1000 euros

[ashen spindle]

no wouldnt make sense to limit it to 90 since even with 90 you need to start adding VRR

really no reason to not just put it at 120 aside form they get away with it

[lucid robin]

yes but if u put 120hz on base then noone will buy pro models

[ashen spindle]

eh people bought higher models before that for other reasons just put more battery or better camera in or something

[lucid robin]

not really the 16 pro is only slightly better battery than the base 16

[final flame]

my 75$ samsung nugget has a 90hz screen

[fierce terrace]

16 pro got better battery actually by getting stackable cell battery

[ashen spindle]

I didnt say they currently are better just that they could differentiate them by much more than just screen refresh rate

[lucid robin]

its apple they do shit like that and they will continue to do such things bc thats the way they do marketing

but hey atleast the 17 series in 2025 will all have 120 hz no matter the model

[fierce terrace]

• optimised chip to battery

since rn apple implemented new battery design

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XxAshnTtow oh look what my youtube feed just showed me xD

@reef patrol might be of interest to you

[reef patrol]

[lucid robin]

i dont like the fact that they made the PMs 6.9 inches

6.3 is perfect tho

[fierce terrace]

yeah i feel like my pro max is too big or just enough already

but getting "just" pro you are facing worse battery

[lucid robin]

same my friends phone id also PM and it already feels big in my hand

[fierce terrace]

dumb decision

but i hope they will adjust 17's better for the new battery

[lucid robin]

yeah but can u imagine trying to type 1 handed on 6.9 inches

6.1 is already hard for me to swipe type on 1 hand

[fierce terrace]

i can't 1 hand type on mine but i dont expect that though

[bright briar]

YOOO that the new iphone ???

[lucid robin]

i was gonna get the 16 pro but since i already burnt 250 euros on fast food the past 3-4 months and 120 euros on my setup + additional 300+ on the wooting 60he custom might aswell keep it for another year

[bright briar]

at this point i wouldnt suggest iphones to anyone but if youre keen on it better off with the pro versions no point buying the regular ones

[lucid robin]

(my phones dying at 79% battery capacity and cracked back)

[steep creek]

i didnt expect him to dodge topics to this degree lol, but alright then

[fierce terrace]

nah 16 is just a gap-filling for 12/13 users

maybe even 14's since the batter is down bad on these

will see how new batteries perform

[lucid robin]

still wouldnt need to upgrade from a 13 to a 16 not any major upgrades

[ashen spindle]

yeah posted it before I watched, all he did was say they have money issues which is the first time they did that publicly I think

[fierce terrace]

with hope it will be better than previous and even better than 16's on 17 line

[lucid robin]

12 to 16 is reasonable tho

[distant tapir]

480 Hz phone screens when?

[lucid robin]

2050

[fierce terrace]

wanna see how my 15 perform with that a.i shit

[lucid robin]

not evne

[steep creek]

aha, will be interesting to see how it progresses

[lucid robin]

2100 maybe

[lucid robin]

ggs battery

[fierce terrace]

but first i need to get access to a.i since eu

tbf my battery trough the day improved with 18.1

[lucid robin]

bro im on 4 hours battery life 😭

[fierce terrace]

i dont really measure that but just using it as usual and noticed a difference

[lucid robin]

i just bring a powerbank to school bc 100 euros to repair the battery is a bit excessive

[fierce terrace]

and thats the reason people do an upgrade i think

[ashen spindle]

oh wow just noticed next gen iphone might again not be a big upgrade since its still on the same TSMC node probably due to timing

[steep creek]

yeah they said "second generation 3nm process" in the event

[ashen spindle]

nono talking next year

[steep creek]

ohh hm

[ashen spindle]

this year was obvious

[lucid robin]

yall think the 17 slim will snap easily?

[steep creek]

that was unexpected, thought they would move on next year

[ashen spindle]

but N2 is on track for high volume in secon half 25 so that might miss the timing for the iphone launch

[wind ferry]

quin I had a question in general chat too

[ashen spindle]

if they do it would be the riskiest early production apple has done on a fresh node I think

[lucid robin]

it ur scrolling on tik tok the entire day the regular 12 is more than enough and u wouldnt need to upgrade

[fierce terrace]

keep in mind that nothing is confirmed since we got 16's just now

[steep creek]

hm yea i guess they wouldnt want to risk it on an iphone, since its an important part of their sales

[ashen spindle]

I mean that has no influence on what I'm talking about lol

16 out or not isnt changing tsmc timelines

[fierce terrace]

i know but still nothing is confrimed

[ashen spindle]

???

but we know tsmcs timelines from them confirming where it currently is..

[fierce terrace]

yeah wait just reading about that

wait if so the 18 will be even worse upgrade

[ashen spindle]

would be the 17 and no didnt say that

[fierce terrace]

because the phone after 18 will get obviously amazing upgrade as usual in apple

[ashen spindle]

what are you talking about

[fierce terrace]

i mean apple is introducing new "innovative" things every 2 releases

[lucid robin]

im bout to crash out man ALL THE SWITCHES THAT GOOD AND CHEAP HAVE A FUCKING 15+ EURO DELIVERY

[fierce terrace]

and after the 8

there is always like "big upgrade"

[steep creek]

but this discussion was about tsmc, not apple exactly

[umbral heron]

[lucid robin]

how are the stock stabilizers for the wooting 60he? do u guys recommend getting new ones

[lucid robin]

dont iems do worse with 3d sounds

[proven valley]

I would love to know what 3d sounds means

Unless u mean sound stage

[lucid robin]

like surround sounds

when someones behind u ur sm

[proven valley]

Thats just imaging

Iems with good technicalities should do that just fine

But if u want to perceive sounds further away, then yeah iems dont rly do that as much as headphones or speakers

But I have headphones for that

[lucid robin]

no bc with my headset i can clearly pinpoint where they are but then with airpods its rlly hard to tell

in like shootergames

[proven valley]

So maybe ur airpods just have bad imaging

🤯

Or bad resolution, layering, detailing

[lucid robin]

i dont think they do

[proven valley]

I would think they do

[lucid robin]

250 for airpods youd expect them do be good and also in the 8d sound videos it works pretty well so im confused

[proven valley]

Assuming ur headphones are closed backs it wouldnt be much of a difference between a good set of iems

[proven valley]

Bro

😭

U dont use 8d youtube videos to test this

[lucid robin]

ive lost 3 airpods pro 😭

[umbral heron]

250?

[lucid robin]

mbmb spotify then

[lucid robin]

yeah

[proven valley]

Get a good pair of iems 🙂

[umbral heron]

You can get a really good set of phonies for that

[proven valley]

And never lose them

[scarlet jackal]

I got the Asus :) (for those who saw my message a lot earlier)

[lucid robin]

tbh iems piss me off whenever i need to go to the toilet fast having to take them on and off all the time but that might just be a me problem

[proven valley]

Maybe dont listen to music whilst ur using the toilet 👍

[lucid robin]

no like when im mid comp game or something like that

i got like 45 seconds to go to the bathroom

[proven valley]

I mean

Hows it any harder than using headphones

U just unhook them to ur ears

[lucid robin]

fair enough

ive actually lost my mind bro this is insanity

[umbral heron]

You could ditch plate and stabilizers

[lucid robin]

plastic plate makes it sound worse

and the stabilizers would sound rattly even after lubing

[wind ferry]

will i need to do any of this (lubing,plate stablizing) with my build? @umbral heron

[umbral heron]

On any of my keyboards stabs do not sound rattly

[lucid robin]

u got the wooting 60?

[umbral heron]

Nope, that's just if you want something extra

[umbral heron]

Two HE, my brother has 60HE, but his stabs aren't rattly either

[lucid robin]

hmmm

okay

[umbral heron]

Plus keep in mind that module has screw-in stabilizers, so that'd be even less likely in your case

[lucid robin]

ill just holee mod them before i lube them js for precautions

[lucid robin]

WAIT UR TELLING ME THAT IT ALREADY COMES SCREWED IN?

[umbral heron]

[lucid robin]

WOAHHHHH

is this only on the spacebar

[umbral heron]

No, on all wide 2u+ keys

[lucid robin]

ok so space bar and shift

[umbral heron]

Spacebar, Shift, Enter, Backspace
You can see them on the image

[lucid robin]

wait so then which ones are missing

omg my cat is snoring again

[umbral heron]

There's no missing stabilizers, all ones you'd need are included already

[lucid robin]

im gonna kms

[lucid robin]

huh now im confused so all of the stabilizers are screwins?

[umbral heron]

Yeah, exactly

[lucid robin]

oh

YESSS

320 euros it is (353 usd)

[umbral heron]

Also, once Optimum's kit will be released, so will be (most likely) kit for friction mount for 60HE

[lucid robin]

im sorry what

whats optimums kit

[umbral heron]

Case and keycaps
Optimum has collab with Wooting
And they should be released sometime in October

[lucid robin]

call me stupid but do u mean optimum from transformers?

[umbral heron]

Optimum as in Youtuber

[lucid robin]

hmmm

and this wont cost another liver?

[crisp granite]

a tech/esports tuber that seems to be pretty popular

if his zerømouse is any indication
it'll be well thought out and quite rock solid

love that thing

[lucid robin]

imma stick with my build since i already bought the keycaps

not getting paid enough for this shit

[umbral heron]

Where are promised files for zeromouse, optimum?

[crisp granite]

lmao right
he's also working on a new one, apparently

honestly though, I remember day of
I woke up, apple pay to not miss the drop because apple pay is fire

later in the day, at a seminar

a colleague asked if I knew about this "zerømouse" thing

because her boyfriend slept in and didn't get one :c

was originally thinking of reselling it to him just for a quick buck
but I actually really like it
a lot

you'll manage

shit
why not quit nic entirely?

more money for beer 🧠

[umbral heron]

Iunno, exposed PCB on the mouse is kinda scary, given sweat and all of that unpleasantness

[lucid robin]

hmm beer

[crisp granite]

the main issue is all of my hairs getting caught
looks kinda gross ngl

I pick em out with tweezers

[lucid robin]

alcohol only fix sleep schedule

[crisp granite]

same reason you'll proudly march off a cliff along with em?

idk I just hate groupthink

[lucid robin]

im such a bad influence

[crisp granite]

...you can change that

but that admittedly takes spine
something everyone seems to lack

[lucid robin]

i went on a family trip i started dying 3 days in

[crisp granite]

welcome to addiction

[lucid robin]

ill js buy the plate later on into the build

[crisp granite]

withdrawl is a bitch

just tough through it
if you're so in that you can't
there are centres that can get you through the worst of it

damn I really need to mod my 6xx to be minixlr, these plugs annoy me so much since they make such terrible contact

[iron wave]

?

[umbral heron]

They have ts or some wonky senny plugs?

[final flame]

this mod right here

[iron wave]

So, 3.5mm to minixlr?

[final flame]

they have Sennheiser own proprietary 2pin

[final flame]

this is what they have stock

[umbral heron]

Then mod would definitely be nice

[iron wave]

Looks like airplane stuff.

[final flame]

those 2 pins slide into a spring which has them make contact

[iron wave]

That seems very weird.

[umbral heron]

Sounds like a lot of effort where they could just put miniXLRs in

[iron wave]

Sounds cheap.

[final flame]

the main issue is as the headphone gets older the springs tend to weaken, making the connection more fickle

[pale sigil]

ah it seems having fast start up disables lid turn on

[final flame]

you can replace the springs, but I'd rather have something more permanent with a sturdy connector like minixlr

[iron wave]

Honestly I think I would just buy headphones that are designed better.

[final flame]

that's only a fix if you don't care about sound

[iron wave]

If the connector sucks the sound quility will suck after a bit too.

[umbral heron]

You can fix connector, but you can't improve drivers

[final flame]

there really isn't many things that give a similar sound profile of the 6x0 lineup, very relaxed and vocal intimate

[iron wave]

Sure you can. Stop using pulse and that's better drivers. :-)

[iron wave]

That just sounds like audiophile garbage vocab.

[final flame]

you're free to hate, but it's just the truth

6x0 is one of the best options when it comes to timbre and vocals

[iron wave]

I would want headphones that mess with the sound the least TBH.

[final flame]

well congrats, that isn't really possible because of how our ears work, there is no real objective neutral
it's all subjective

[scenic hemlock]

i thought that was a snake 😭

[iron wave]

There is an objective neutral, just because people are bad at detecting it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[final flame]

this is a measurement of the same headphone measured with in ear microphones on several different people

[iron wave]

See, you can measure it so there is an objective neutral.

Humans are just messy.

[balmy vector]

decided to change my desktop wallpaper for once

lookin good

[final flame]

those upper treble measurements change a lot and are very subjective, even within the midrange there is still variation

[iron wave]

I just use black.

The presence of an objective measurement doesn't preclude the existence of subjective experiences.

[iron wave]

One of the really cool things about modern computers is the fact that they have stupid amounts of performance per watt, you can tune out the messiness of your person much easier today in software than you could before. Heck, the best sound system I have (my car) I have the bass turned down a touch and the trebble turned up a bit as an example.

[final flame]

cool story, you just described eq

there's analog eq too

[iron wave]

Yeah why bother with that messy junk when you have the precision of the digital domain?

[final flame]

issue with that is, it'll never be precise because the actual measurement rigs we measure on aren't accurate in the upper treble region
so upper treble measurements have to be eq'd through sine sweeps

which is something that takes skill

[iron wave]

And there's the gatekeeping.

[final flame]

gatekeeping isn't preventing anybody from downloading a eq and doing it themselves

it's easy to use a eq, but it's difficult to use one and make it sound good

especially upper treble measurments

[iron wave]

You just said it takes skill, phrasing that could discourage people from experementing.

[final flame]

when I say it takes skill, I'm saying that meaningfully, because not even I mess with upper treble much

[umbral heron]

How else would you acquire skill, if not by experimenting?

[iron wave]

I'm happy sitting away from the decent into diminishing returns and madness of audiophile audio junk.

[little silo]

because i'm addicted and I don't know how to quit

[iron wave]

I was pointing out that it's easy to mess with this stuff for essentially free. Software is an amazing resource.

NIC? Network Interface Controller?

[umbral heron]

Of course, but that's not gatekeeping in any way

[steady sail]

[umbral heron]

In the end of the day what's important is that it sounds good to you, simple

[final flame]

graph sniffing is a whole topic in itself
but saying there's a true neutral like this is saying someone should calibrate a monitor to pure neutral with just their eyes and no references

that's what eqing with sine sweeps is like

[iron wave]

I mean, by definition there is. I never claimed that it would sound neutral to everyone, just that it exists.

[umbral heron]

It exists, but it's varies from person to person

[iron wave]

The objective one would not vary. :V

[final flame]

and can even vary because of external factors like age and things like earwax

[iron wave]

Anyway, I need sleep.

Tho right now im in a tight spot on before i buy a new gpu anyway lul

[jaunty rose]

Same, like I want one but at the same time do I realllyyy need a new gpu

3070 works just fine

[steady sail]

Bc i either gonna wait what the 5070 performance gonna look like or just go with the 7900 gre

[jaunty rose]

But at the same time I meet the requirements to upgrade and it’s just so tempting

[jaunty rose]

Praying we dont get a 3060 to 4060 performance thing going on with next gen cards

Like minimal improvement is what I mean

[steady sail]

We talk about ngreedia

[pastel nacelle]

RTX Titan

[steady sail]

We gonna get the 5060 card on a 5050 performance

[pastel nacelle]

next gen

[steady sail]

I just hope that nvidia gonna skip the super cards this time

[final flame]

I only hope there will be actual performance gains for this next series

[jaunty rose]

Super cards every other generation is fine by me

[steady sail]

Yeah

Or we should get the super cards at release

[jaunty rose]

Im praying next gen cards wont consume the entirety of my psu

[final flame]

Super was stupid, Ti is the OG

[steady sail]

They need another one

[jaunty rose]

I feel like I have enough but at the same time I feel like it wont be enough with what nvidia might put out

[final flame]

1000 watt gpu

instant fire hazard

[jaunty rose]

Dont jinx it

[final flame]

need 3 of the stupid adapters on it

[jaunty rose]

Wont even fit in an atx case

[final flame]

the day we get 3000 watt power supplies is when nvidia will morb

[jaunty rose]

Srsly tho if next gen mid to high end cards consume a lot of power Im just gonna buy a 4080 super

[steady sail]

Yeah with the msrp of 5000$

[jaunty rose]

My 850 watt power supply can only handle so much

[little silo]

Glarxses

[steady sail]

Imo 850 is much more than u think

[little silo]

Are you getting a 5 series GPU?

[final flame]

the fact that 2000w power supplies are becoming more common scares me

[jaunty rose]

Thats what Im saying

[final flame]

I had planned on it, but realistically I don't really need one, may be once I settle down

[jaunty rose]

[little silo]

4080 Super at $1000 or less looks like the play when 5th gen releases

[final flame]

I thought I was going to be future proofed by buying a 850w power supply 💀

[unkempt lake]

I AM ALIVE

AGAIN

[little silo]

DASHI

HIIIIII

[unkempt lake]

i tried sharing this article

[jaunty rose]

Thats the card Im for sure going for when new gen releases, gonna snatch one off a bozo who think newer is better

[unkempt lake]

and the automod timed me out

lol

[little silo]

5090 should be 3 slot

[unkempt lake]

you can get a 7900xtx under 1000 already

[little silo]

dashi ily but i'm never getting an AMD card

[unkempt lake]

brand loyalty bad

go with whatever is best for your budget

[final flame]

I go with nvidia because cuda

cuda my balls

[jaunty rose]

I care about raytracing performance so sadly I’ll never buy an amd card but I’ll always recommend them to people who need good value

Convinced my friend to get an rx 6600

[unkempt lake]

I mean it all depends on how far you want to turn up RT

i'm playing Star Wars Outlaws as of late and with RT on high it runs fine

[jaunty rose]

Is star wars outlaws good? Havent heard anything since release

[steady sail]

I guess that 7900 gre gonna be fire for me lul

[unkempt lake]

Been enjoying it

got it for free didnt go in expecting much

its not the best game ever but

it's worth playing when it will be on sale

😛

it's super fun

just.,. set the difficulty to hard

the ai is ridiculously dumb at anything lower

[jaunty rose]

I wanna buy black myth wukong, gotta search up benchmarks since Im not on my pc rn to test it

[crisp granite]

supports and counselling are accessible

[jaunty rose]

My other friend got it for the ps5 and all Ive heard was good things about it from him

[unkempt lake]

Fun game too

My only gripe is only 21:9 on PC

no 32:9 support

[jaunty rose]

What kind of display do you use?

[unkempt lake]

Neo g9 49inch

[steady sail]

I know its preference but what can ppl love about ultrawide screens ?

[unkempt lake]

I used to have 3 screens on my desk

Now i have 1

[jaunty rose]

Dang

[unkempt lake]

Just WIDE

[unkempt lake]

Peripherals

[cosmic thunder]

wildly wide

[unkempt lake]

It just makes it a lot more immersive

Especially racing games

[steady sail]

Yeah im fine with my lil 16:9 aspect ratio

[jaunty rose]

I have comp peripherals so I sometimes plug in my pc to my 4k 120hz tv and plug in my ps5 controller to play some games

My current monitor is a 240hz 24in 1080p tn panel display

[unkempt lake]

Can always just play with black bars if you hate UW

have it be 16:9

But still use it as an UW for desktop use

[steady sail]

I can just buy a 1440p non uw monitor and no black bars either

[unkempt lake]

But then you have less real estate for general browsing

[steady sail]

The only place where i would found uw great is for video editing or music production

I mean im using 2 monitors soo its not that bad but for me uw looks ugly and thats it

[jaunty rose]

Tbh, just get a good vr headset with a wide fov if you like doing sim stuff a lot

[steady sail]

I bought a g920 wheel for myself to play assetto i played like 4 times and thats it i sold the wheel 2 week ago xd

Sim games are not my stuff at all

[jaunty rose]

Would kill for this vr headset but its so expensive and requires other stuff too

[steady sail]

Overall i was thinking getting a quest 2 for some vr games but

While i would love to play vr bc of the 3 shift work schedule i cant

[jaunty rose]

Sadge

Vr is such an awesome niche, really wish more people could get into it

[steady sail]

And as of right now, i have enough fun with elden ring + seamless coop

Even the valve index was on my wishlist for a while

[jaunty rose]

Tbh the index is good but outdated, better off waiting for the new valve vr headset if you ever consider getting into it

[final flame]

index is cool but no oled or local dimming

[jaunty rose]

Also screendoor

[little silo]

Bigscreen?

[final flame]

https://pimax.com/products/pimax-crystal-light-with-controllers?variant=41102221049899

[jaunty rose]

Index has really bad screendoor effect
