Nice

[wheat plume]

......wait wtf

[steep creek]

lol

[ashen spindle]

yes he's saying to tell microsoft a change is stupid and fight against shit like recall or whatever instead of just not using windows

(almost like context matters for a post eh)

[digital cliff]

it's a nice sentiment but I don't have limitless time to bother about fighting every single thing in my life, rather just go where I'm provided the service I want

[umbral heron]

While Valve keeps on improving Steam, funding development of gaming on Linux and now diving head first into Proton layer for ARM64...
Little Tim screeches on Linux and argues with Apple

[vapid ruin]

If epic is good, they would try to optimize their engine to be able to run on intel Atom

[ashen spindle]

i mean yeah but it's also not a statement he made standalone it was about one specific change he didnt like and posted how ms shouldnt do it and some now removed reply said something about he should just use linux

which just doesnt make sense if you have just one complaint changing everything instead of just getting that complaint fixed

[digital cliff]

sure thing

[ashen spindle]

https://vxtwitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/964043031715467264

no to mention its from fucking 2018

this from before they even released egs

[crimson wigeon]

Valve is probably secretly funding fex emu or box64

[solar hinge]

i found a good way that still seems to work 🙂

[umbral heron]

No idea, but it's getting interesting https://steamdb.info/app/3043620/history/?changeid=25321568

[reef patrol]

I did mention "non power users" as in - the average user.

Shouldn't need to know a nerd to get around the microsoft account. Should just be an option straight up like it used to be.

[rough osprey]

Deadlock 2??

[solar hinge]

this one is still opening the console and writing one line, but yes, i agree, in the past you could just click "local account"

[umbral heron]

ARM64 branch of Proton

[reef patrol]

They blocked the console recently iirc?

[rough osprey]

the vpn?

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-animated-series-half-strangle-posion-ivy-gif-17870380

[solar hinge]

you mean this one OOBE\BYPASSNRO

[reef patrol]

I believe so

[rough osprey]

😳

[steep creek]

flashing the iso with rufus still works but its not the same as just having a simple "no i dont want to sign in" box at the configuarion screen

[solar hinge]

but typing this still works "ipconfig /release"

or at least it did for me

4 days ago

[umbral heron]

Ventoy also has the bypass option

[solar hinge]

with a fresh install

[reef patrol]

Like I said - WE know how to get around it 😄

[digital cliff]

yep if you just unbox a laptop/pc you can't do shit about it

[fair gull]

some new install isos block opening the console so no

[solar hinge]

took me forever to find that one though
edit like a solid 10min 😛

[digital cliff]

a normal user couldn't help it

[fair gull]

its not the command that got blocked but shift+f10

[solar hinge]

i just used microsoft usb maker thingy

win 11 pro that i was installing though

the oobe one did not work for me

[steep creek]

i think macos still lets you skip the icloud sign in stuff at setup

[fair gull]

pro has the easy way out by saying you wanna join a domain during the setup and instead of username@domain you just type a username

done local account

[solar hinge]

that actually didn't work for me

[fair gull]

did they remove that

wut

[scenic thunder]

Nope, friend had pc issues and used it 3 days ago. Sadly her cpu is dead gonzo

[reef patrol]

The ISO needs to be fresh.

Obviously doesn't count if you're using a two year old installer stick 😛

[scenic thunder]

She made it that day

[reef patrol]

Which version? What language?

Cause the internet seems to disagree 😄

[scenic thunder]

Win 11 home, English

On the " connection wifi" screen you open console and use that exact bypass to make the machine restart the install without networking required

Stupid fucking workaround but absolutely did it just days ago

[sturdy ruin]

Guys whats the difference between the lekker switches and the default ones that come with the wooting?

I preordered the wooting80he so i got the lekker switch pack and I was wondering if its worth switching the switches for keys like WASD

I meant the linear45

the yellow ones

[ashen spindle]

preference of the force needed to press the switches down

[sturdy ruin]

Alright I see, so they are just physically easier to press

there isnt any performance boost or difference

[ashen spindle]

the number is amount of force needed to bottom out that spring in the switch

[umbral heron]

Volvo is sorting out mess with Wayland https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/frog-protocols-announced-to-try-and-speed-up-wayland-protocol-development/

Gamescope is a separate thing, completely internal
I applause the bravado of wanting to put their hands into the mess what Wayland is
Still, it's about damn time somebody did something with it
Main branch development is slow as molasses because neckbeards be elitist and "I don't use it, thus it's not necessary" boom PR denied

Wayland is slow and messy, so...

The protocol is messy enough, WMs are making it worse
When will Mutter support server-side decorations, GNOME? Everybody has that for years now, GNOME

[wheat plume]

Gnome does have server side
With windows that aren't gtk or libAdwaita

Discord for example I think

[umbral heron]

Not on Wayland they don't
It's kind of a meme now on how "GNOME is ruining fun for everyone"

[digital cliff]

I simply don't understand the whole "everyone has to do the same work multiple times" part on account of being just a protocol and everyone has to make the implementation themselves

switch from one wm to another and you lose simple desktop features that have existed for 40 years because this WM doesn't happen to have implemented it yet

hate pipewire and desktop-portal too

stupid inconsistent app- or wm-specific implementations that sometimes work and other times don't, for something that should just be baked into the display server

screensharing is so bad on wayland

[umbral heron]

As if pulse was any good

pipewire is nice, yeah

[digital cliff]

yeah works alright for sound I guess

[steady sail]

YouTube be like: U gonna enjoy this video
Me: maaaybe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dWSWDOj6Ag

[digital cliff]

not a fan of it being an additional dependency for screensharing

well, experience right now is screensharing is awesome on xorg and doesn't really work on wayland so

you tell me

that's the only screensharing I need

[umbral heron]

Firefox with PWA addon works too

[digital cliff]

what is pwa addon

also chromium doesn't work with fcitx5 or my keyboard layout so

[umbral heron]

https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/

[digital cliff]

you tell me

having discord open on firefox kills my audio

[umbral heron]

Mozilla could fix so much issues with Firefox, PWA, USBHID support...
Instead they prefer foCUsInG oN Ai

[digital cliff]

for some reason chromium (wayland) and my layout doesn't really work, neither does fcitx5.

on firefox (wayland) these both work just fine, but just having a browser tab open with discord kills audio in games

the entire stream of audio is never created so it's just dead silence

moreover, if I hop on call and keep an eye on pavucontrol for example, it'll just randomly switch to "unknown device" on the stream that is the call audio

and even switching to the right device doesn't bring audio back

is there a huge differnce between normal 80he and ghost 80he

but like is the sound much diffrence

Hello, the Wooting 80 HE is set to rainbow RGB, when you press a button it lights up. How can you deactivate this?

[reef patrol]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2DpTT5-_I4A
Tech or memes? You decide. I laughed all the same 😄

[hasty thunder]

look what i found

@steady sail

some old screenshots

[steady sail]

niice

[hasty thunder]

i said old, not high res

[steady sail]

[hasty thunder]

i was such a whale in HI 3rd... i should be ashamed actually

pfff... pls

all my money goes to my lord and savior. Hail Wooting

[old marlin]

that would be a lot of keyboards

I easily own a dozen 80HEs in keyboards

[hasty thunder]

well, true, but you didn't spend 2k on Wooting products alone in a single year, did you?

[marsh pewter]

THATS WHY YOU'RE THE GOAT

[old marlin]

why would I

I spent more on keyboards in general

[marsh pewter]

because wooting needs all our money

[old marlin]

they seem to be doing fine

[marsh pewter]

I never said they werent

[old marlin]

you made it sound that way

[hasty thunder]

more money = more staff to hire = more customers = even more money

[marsh pewter]

profits 👍

[hasty thunder]

[frozen ingot]

they got all that already

they don't need my help anymore

[old marlin]

you 2k would prob be better invested by paying off reviewers then

[umbral heron]

I'm afraid to count how much I spent
Will be over 1k

[frozen ingot]

if wooting wants more of my money they should make a macropad

[old marlin]

or sending 80hes to fortnite pros or something

[marsh pewter]

you would only need like 5 cents to pay off hipyo so I'd start there

[old marlin]

I am at 1.5k for 2 boards alone this year

and I got a couple more as well

I am prob at like 3k this year

[hasty thunder]

well, it was kinda hard for me to count, because i paid my housekeeper to buy my Woots

[umbral heron]

But I got more UwUs
Ha! I won

Dinner tiem

[old marlin]

I got a few more boards this year tho

At least 5 + one still in gb?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxAMD6i5dVc

im just hoping that the motherboards for the desktop equivalent wont be too pricy

[ashen spindle]

well arrow lake will be a bit different

[steep creek]

in terms of more power usage or?

im not as updated on these new chips ahah

[late grove]

https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-shows-off-click-bios-x-user-interface-for-amd-x870-motherboard-series

MSI new bios

[ashen spindle]

well they share the same core but its a different setup so the performance will not be the same since it will have different clock targets and caches

efficency wont matter as much, though we will see less watts the question is how far they can be ahead

[hasty thunder]

i miss the days where you only had esc, arrow keys and enter for the BIOS

[steep creek]

ah i see

[hasty thunder]

things are just going crazier and crazier

[steep creek]

well either way i’m happy with the lnl results so far

[balmy vector]

Del key my beloved

[smoky frigate]

According to MSI, the new BIOS includes EZ Overclocking mode, which enables three technologies: Game Boost, AI Boost, and EXPO, specifically for AMD X870 motherboards. calling any of your features AI will make it so dated in a few years' time. guys look at my Blockchain-boosted memory controller!!! WOWOWOWO

[pliant spoke]

guys how come some people already got the 80he and when i try to buy it it shows me it will take over a month for it to arrive

[balmy vector]

thats why ASUS was ahead of the curb to have settings in their bios that have "AI ENHANCEMENT"

[steady sail]

pre-order

[smoky frigate]

sounds like something that belongs on a spam filter list

[balmy vector]

because those who got it now were founders, they pre-ordered it during the first few weeks after wooting opened up the ability to order

[faint agate]

Just noticed one of my keys looks of a bit off

F12 to be specific

[pliant spoke]

so what do u think of this should i get it or wait for 80he

[balmy vector]

go with what layout you prefer

60 would come with 1.5s

[alpine patio]

40?

[pliant spoke]

so there is not that big of difference in the performance if i get the 60 with v2 s

[dull hollow]

GET OUT OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ISR9jdMOqA

[balmy vector]

not a difference that you'll notice

[pliant spoke]

ok thanks

but one last thing before i buy it wich one is better 45 or 60 v2 s

[alpine patio]

y are u getting 40 switches tho

[alpine patio]

preference

[pliant spoke]

ill get the 70

thank u guys 🙂

[dull hollow]

it changes how much force it takes to press the key all the way down, theres no performance difference between either

[frozen ingot]

my man hipyo out to shit on gaming keyboards again for not doing things they never set out to do in the first place

[smoky frigate]

what were his complaints about the 80?

[gusty kiln]

Feels like keyboard-tubers peaked years ago, and now they are running on fumes

Same thing about the happen with gaming mouse

And mousepad

[frozen ingot]

most consumer tech

lets not even start with the smartphone reviews

[gusty kiln]

Monitors haven't really peaked yet, coz every tech still have compromises

At least until microled or qdel

[astral haven]

monitors will take quite a while to peak, particularly since folks wont want to have bright monitors (10k+ nits)
and itll take years after the tech exists to convince monitor makers to actually make em
and only now are people starting to warm to the concept that the perceptual limit of monitors is insanely high

[distant tapir]

'Why do you want more than 200 nits? That's like a flashbang!'

Oled users moment.

[smoky frigate]

"the human eye can't see more than 240hz" he said, eating paste from a tube

[distant tapir]

Remember guys:
There's no point in going for a higher resolution than what I happen to have right now, that's overkill/pointless
There's no point in going for a higher refresh rate than what I happen to have right now, that's overkill/pointless
There's no point in going for a higher brightness level than what I happen to have right now, that's overkill/pointless

[gusty kiln]

I won't be upgrading until a nice 240hz+ miniled or microled monitor releases with good response time

[astral haven]

agreed except with brightness, people are like "itll burn your eyes" or "itll give you eyestrain"

[distant tapir]

My post wasn't serious.

[gusty kiln]

Vrr flicker on oled is a real killer

[distant tapir]

People often seem to use what they currenty own as the 'sane person limit'.

[astral haven]

yea, and im saying that people are more extreme with brightness

its not "not needed" its "actually bad for you"

[distant tapir]

Do they know how bright the light reflecting of their walls are on a summer day compared to their monitors?

So why aren't they blind 24/7 during daylight and with eyestrain and headaches.

[leaden kiln]

what if i am

[astral haven]

then you need to see a doctor

[old marlin]

holy shit the density of bad takes is insane

[steep creek]

man i am a bit excited for arrow lake now, could be a nice upgrade from my 9th gen

[ashen spindle]

thats server thats not lunar lake results

[steep creek]

yep, just seeing intel reminded me of that

[smoky frigate]

yeah and it's in a specific configuration, does not mean anything but it bodes kinda well

[steep creek]

ive just been watching a few reviews haha

[smoky frigate]

https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-xeon-6980p-performance

[ashen spindle]

I would be careful with arl expectations xD

[steep creek]

but fair, that probably is better haha

[ashen spindle]

9800x3d could come in october and arl seems like just 14th gen at lower power

[steep creek]

yeah i will wait for those, at least i could get a good am5 board for cheap too

i dont game much but i think the few games i do play, could benefit from vcache

[gusty kiln]

When is Turin coming out?

[ashen spindle]

like a week or two

[gusty kiln]

Oh shit

[ashen spindle]

iirc 10.10 was the event date

[spare wedge]

this is true

tho I use vrr control on my samsung g80sd because the flicker is gone, but that adds about 20ms of latency

I only use VRR control whenever I game on a controller which is only story games

I can easily reach 240 on esports

with this, I don't get flickering anywhere

[gusty kiln]

I'm holding off on upgrading until a nice mini led or qdel is available

[spare wedge]

i prefer to wait for microled but that's probably going to take a looooong time

[gusty kiln]

Shame since it seems like every company jumped on the oled train for high end and VA/IPS research get left in the first

[balmy vector]

Corsair sending me a replacement fan free for the one that started dying yesterday

[compact relic]

is 7800x3d worth undervolting or nah?

[ashen spindle]

you can play around a bit with curve optimizer, if you get lucky and get a -30 offset its nice

but it wont make a big difference

[compact relic]

can you recommend a good tool to stress test it for stability?

[umbral heron]

Even CPU-Z has stress test

[ashen spindle]

cinebench or OCCT but always keep in mind any OC can be stable there and then fail in a new game that does things a bit different

[umbral heron]

Prime.95 would work quite good too

[ashen spindle]

and vice versa something crashing cinebench could be fine in games

y cruncher or linpack also hit cpus hard

[compact relic]

maybe i should just put a -30 offset and play stuff till it crashes

increase it by like 5 after every crash till it stops crashing

[umbral heron]

You can use Factorio for benchmarking

[compact relic]

i dont own it

[raw zephyr]

just run cinebench for 10 mins, thats enough to check for co stability

if the offset is too low you will crash within 5 minutes

[compact relic]

ah it's that fast

[raw zephyr]

or as cals mentioned, you can run p95 and see it crash on you in 2 seconds

[umbral heron]

I should probably look into undervolting too

[raw zephyr]

which cpu u got?

[compact relic]

7800x3d

[ashen spindle]

since deadlock crashed on me with xmp I even keep ram at jedec just cba

[raw zephyr]

that game is a special snowflake

[umbral heron]

EXPO was bootlooping on me, XMP is stable as heck though

[smoky frigate]

OCCT found any CPU/RAM instabilities I introduced rather quickly, but I didn't run it for 8 hours or anything

[compact relic]

isnt deadlock still early access though? might be fine after release

[smoky frigate]

very good software

[umbral heron]

tis why is good for testing stuff

[ashen spindle]

unless it does something really wild it's not the games fault for hitting something hard enough to crash an overclock

99% of cases that just means your OC was not stable and you just got lucky most other times

[umbral heron]

AMD, why there no Ryzen Master for Linux?

[gusty kiln]

I've done a -30 offset on my day 1 5800x3d and it's been running smoothly

[umbral heron]

Nope, only allows me to change frequency governor
There is amdctl and ryzen_smu, but it just exposes /sys/kernel stuff

[ashen spindle]

run VM just for ryzen master lol

[compact relic]

Was there a difference in performance/temps?

[umbral heron]

If only that'd work
I wonder if there is Win PE with preinstalled Ryzen Master

[gusty kiln]

Yeah temperature were lower on average

Like 5 degrees less

[umbral heron]

Only 5 degrees?
Meh, I'll just stick another fan

Although that is a good idea to make a GUI for one of those CLI tools
Once my brother comes I'll have 3 Ryzens to fry try

[steep creek]

provides nice details, video title aside
https://youtu.be/zz3jGE3jJOI?si=Hv_QEwVlaS-gngxw

[compact relic]

That's pretty good, basically a free upgrade

A small one but an upgrade nonetheless

[gusty kiln]

It definitely kept my air cooler from ramping up so often because it doesn't cross the temp threshold as often

Less noise

[compact relic]

I've been running cinebench for 30 mins now with no crashes

With -30 offset

[leaden kiln]

curve optimizer saved me from throttling

though I think it got a little better still after I cranked down my cooler harder

[compact relic]

Gonna check the peak temps and compare it to pre-tweak results

[gusty kiln]

-30 should be pretty safe for most ryzens

Unless you got a dud

[balmy vector]

Well since i dont have to send back this busted fan….. i will open it up

[gusty kiln]

Another fan on my u14s wouldn't be bad

Would be great if noctua refreshed the U14S

[umbral heron]

Meanwhile fan on my server box
And yes, it is zip-tied to the case

[leaden kiln]

I think my last cooler was a u14s

[gusty kiln]

Is that a 180 or 200mm?

[reef patrol]

You are cleared for takeoff.

[gusty kiln]

U14S was the best for cooling and ram clearance until ur U12A was released

They're curated, it benefits artists (supposedly), and tries to combat AI.
I've seen worse tech guy cashgrabs, even if I'd never.

the panels app is very poorly made and all payments are verified on client side

in cinebench, temps went from 90+ to 85C

and then after i got a $30 cpu cooler, it went from that to low 70s

though even with a -30 offset, it still runs hot in games

i recommend to also limit the voltage to 85W

[compact relic]

mine went from like 84 to 82

[dull hollow]

tbf i was using a stock cooler from 2 generations ago

[compact relic]

i have a 360 AIO

[dull hollow]

oh…

[dull hollow]

you might have to recheck your thermal paste

[compact relic]

shouldnt be anything wrong with it

but ill check it tomorrow just incase it's spread unevenly or something

[dull hollow]

js to make sure cause i almost forgot to take the sticker off when i replaced the cooler

[compact relic]

i took it off 100%

[dull hollow]

maybe its not torqued down all the way?

[compact relic]

it is on pretty tight..

is it not normal to have these cpu temps with an AIO?

im talking about peak temp btw I didnt follow the average

[dull hollow]

i mean what cpu do you have?

we shouldve started with that

@compact relic

[compact relic]

7800x3d

[dull hollow]

i think that it can be a little lower then the temps youre running right now

but youre already pretty much in the 83-89°C rnage

which is fine for the 7800x3d

[compact relic]

played space marine 2 for an hour, cpu peaked at 76°C

[dull hollow]

thats perfect

lower than 80C is nice

[agile mortar]

imo its high

[umbral heron]

High is 90+
Okay is 70~80
Ideal is 50~60

[agile mortar]

better under 70

its best, just get good water cooled good fans everything

[umbral heron]

Eh
Big block of alumininuminum is enough (unless we're talking 14900 )

[agile mortar]

7800x3d

i have it too

[leaden kiln]

9 fans 🤨

[umbral heron]

I have 7950X3D, max I saw on it was 77C, idling at around 38~42 with alu block

[agile mortar]

no 10, and 3 more gpu fans duh

[leaden kiln]

*10 case fans 🤨

[agile mortar]

why pic so bad on discord it looks so good on phone

[leaden kiln]

discord bad

[steady sail]

my cpu temp is like 48c

[leaden kiln]

chilling

[steady sail]

overall my airflow is suck ass soo

im not supprised

[leaden kiln]

my 5700x idled at 27c

room was cool though

[steady sail]

Airflow

i need a bigger case

[agile mortar]

my gpu warm my whole room in winter no joke

[leaden kiln]

I like my 4 full mesh panels
need a smaller case

[steady sail]

[umbral heron]

I'll have to make a better photo of my nugget ince new GPU arrives

[steady sail]

the only reason i want a new case is the AIO

[agile mortar]

ma speccs

[steady sail]

and thats it nothing else matters to me bc overall its a good case

[agile mortar]

why 4dim

[steady sail]

bc i had 2x8 already

[agile mortar]

am4?

[ashen spindle]

4dimm on ddr4 is fine/good

[agile mortar]

yes but he didnt say he is on am4 right

[ashen spindle]

it shows 5800x3d in the screenshot

[agile mortar]

i thought he on am5

[agile mortar]

jeez im retarded

[steady sail]

naah am5 is expensive

[ashen spindle]

everyones blind sometimes haha

[agile mortar]

true

well, it changed a lot

at least it has become cheaper and cheaper

[steady sail]

overall

[agile mortar]

looks good imo

[sudden imp]

Are the wallpapers even good?

Never mind ai isn’t even prevented

[umbral heron]

It's easy money

[steady sail]

Its good enough for me tho im looking forward to a gpu upgrade

[sudden imp]

https://tenor.com/view/lucille-arrested-development-star-war-jessica-walter-gif-7394136

[steady sail]

Soo the waiting for a new gpu gonna start next year after 50 series and 8000 series releases

Like i wanna snipe a 2nd hand 4080 non-super/super or any rx 7000 card 7800 xt and upwards

[spare wedge]

I think I might unironically go for the 5090

[steady sail]

For me the **90 cards are out of my range

[spare wedge]

My 3090 has been nice

[steady sail]

I mean I wouldn’t able to use out that card lmao

Overall im fine with my middle range 6700 xt

[wild coyote]

Damn, I'm only missing the 3D on the cpu and I'd have (ideally) the same specs. Just different brand on the gpu

[astral haven]

can always nab a gtx 690 😛

[vapid ruin]

Very cool pc

[steady sail]

Thankies

[gusty kiln]

Guess just wait for amd next gen mid range

Probably offer 7900xtx perf for
500-700

Cuz 5080/5090 is gunna start at 1000

[vapid ruin]

I can't think of anything above 6700xt unless you want better visual. It's already close to base ps5 capability

12gb of vram is still very plenty nice for regular gaming

[pastel nacelle]

I waited with a founders 1080ti

For the 4090

Still no 4090Ti 36gb.

China need to sell me one of them 4090Ds with 48gb.

Wait Im dumb I can just do that now xD

[vagrant pagoda]

huh the ms auth app dosetn do nfc

[steady sail]

I would want a 5070 not 80/90 cards xd

[mellow idol]

best mic under 100 with good handelling noise

[digital cliff]

any of them, AI noise canceling is awesome

spend 30 instead of 100 and you get the exact same thing

[iron wave]

I hate Windows.

This should be less than a second for reference.

[astral haven]

do you mean like passkeys?
ms auth is only for typing in a number that you see on a web browser, and 90% of the time, they are gonna be signing in on a computer, and nfc on computer is rare

[umbral heron]

MS did one thing well
You can disable password authentication and just use notifications from authenticator to log in

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah youd think it could be a nfc passkey too

[vagrant pagoda]

i picked up a dell rugged tablet for scan tool for stuff

and i had no idea when i got it, it was the cheapest on ebay, it has nfc+smartcard as well as 4g and gps

[astral haven]

passkeys are hard, they should soon hopefully tho

[north tide]

36GB would require GDDR6X chips that don't exist (24Gbit)

[astral haven]

which is not part of the 10%
the 10% is folks signing in from one mobile to another

[north tide]

right now if they run one rank of 16Gbit chips per channel they have 24GB, and if they doubled it up to have memory on the backside it'd be 48. That is a lot more annoying to cool properly and caused many issues on the 3090.

[astral haven]

you are part of the .001%

[vagrant pagoda]

i know

still phone has nfc

why cant the ms app use nfc to do passkey

also it has a serial port

[vagrant pagoda]

they are killing 4090 because of ai

they want people to buy workstation cards to get all the vram

also i got the tablet for 150

all of the 16gb models were like 800

dude is selling 16gb mobos for 40 bucks

[astral haven]

passkey is super new, give it some time

[vagrant pagoda]

rear camera with flash on windows is wild lol

[astral haven]

yep, an l40 sells for https://www.cdw.com/product/nvidia-l40-gpu-computing-processor-l40-48-gb/7307108
and its the same core as the 4090...

[wheat plume]

Mini PCs are fascinating to me 💜

GMKtek M7 and M7 Pro

[marsh pewter]

I figured something out. if you copy and paste -#  any text here and send it, your discord will crash (PC only).

[wheat plume]

O.o

[marsh pewter]

theres a hair space after the normal space (-# **" "**any text here) which causes it to crash

it doesnt have to be a hair space tho theres quite a few space characters that cause it to crash discord

[marsh pewter]

whoops the asterisks made it not crash

it should crash discord now

I also figured out that you can use mobile to add it to your user profile

doing that makes it so whenever you go to change your profile in settings on PC, it will crash discord

[spare wedge]

Chinese mini pcs are where it’s at ngl

Topton is my favorite brand

This is what I have for my pfsense box

[wheat plume]

Cuktech :'))

[sick radish]

Why is NA bridge eta mid November if it seems NA champion is about to ship?

[wheat plume]

.....cuktech may be the worst brand name I've ever seen other than Rapesco

[wheat plume]

O..how much is this one?

[gusty kiln]

Like 300

[wheat plume]

Oh....
The ones I showed are 350 and 650 respectively

[spare wedge]

It was $220

[wheat plume]

Ah
Not bad

[gusty kiln]

N305 is the goat for low power multithread

[wheat plume]

Would a raspberry pi 5 with 4gb ram theoretically be enough power to handle a web store on?

For hosting a website to shop and buy shit on

[astral haven]

highly recommended to not self host anything that takes payment data, but yes depending on how many people will visit the site

[wheat plume]

Even if using a third party payment processor?

[ashen spindle]

do not selfhost payment processing unless you want trouble

[wheat plume]

I think they want to use shopify to handle payment processing, or whatever it is Wooting and others use

[astral haven]

shopify itself is cloud hosted

[wheat plume]

Yeh
They just wanna use the checkout part of it

[ashen spindle]

its so cheap to host something on dedicated server hardware theys no point doing it on your own hardware just to add risks

[wheat plume]

Hmm

Any suggestions for a host then?

[astral haven]

shopify lol

[wheat plume]

Etsy is too expensive for them
This is why they want a self host

25 a month :/

[astral haven]

yes, if you want to use shopify in general, thats the price

[wheat plume]

:/

[ashen spindle]

if your monthly sales are below 25 bucks why have a store and not just an ebay listing

that doesnt seem to make much sense

[astral haven]

and there is a lower tier of shopify, but it should never be worth it (only need 1k of sales per month to be paying $25 from the higher percentage fees)

[ashen spindle]

it sounds like an idea to self host some store because it could be neat or fun and selling few tiny things? there's just no point in doing that really, nor is it profitable because self hosting doesnt safe that much

[astral haven]

if their sales are really that low, they can host a regular website that simply links to their ebay page

And even then, I wouldn't spend the money for a pi for that. I would use Google sites.

[misty needle]

Hello everyone. i've encountered insane problem with Wooting 80HE, after i plug the keyboard to the PC, it freezes the PC. I can manage to try to go to v5.wotility and try to change settings, but it doesn't allow me to do it. It says connection timed out. I've resetted keyboard around 10 times (pressing pause+right arrow key) but still keyboard is not being recognized. I gave up, when i was un-plugging the keyboard, i've noticed that the keybord is SO HOT (plastic) underneath on the left side close to the connector) plastic is HOT(case of the keyboard) this is super weird, im so scarred that i unplugged it and came back to wooting 60he.

i've already contacted tech support and waiting for their response. Im scared to plug it back again into pc to not cause any shortcuts that may damage my components inside PC. I've never experienced any problems like this. Keyboard is not being recognized and it says its "disconnected"

[ashen spindle]

Make a post in #1019755933959733258 for it so the right people find it

[wheat plume]

This month they've only gotten like 15 sales

[ashen spindle]

Sounds like it makes sense to just keep it on eBay or similar?

[unkempt lake]

^literally make a basic webpage that links to an ebay store

@wheat plume

[wheat plume]

How much would eBay charge?

[unkempt lake]

Ebay charges like 6% of the price of the item sold

[wheat plume]

No monthly fee?

[unkempt lake]

No

[wheat plume]

Oo....

[unkempt lake]

You just make listings

[wheat plume]

I'll propose that idea to them

[unkempt lake]

And a seller account

[wheat plume]

Perfect perfect

[unkempt lake]

Ebay just makes everyone happy, buyers have some protection sellers have some protection the fee is worth it imo

[wheat plume]

Yeh seems so !

[unkempt lake]

It's either that or make a paypal and have people send you goods and services payments

[wheat plume]

Their stuff is made by a third party
But they use their own original art on the products
Would eBay have issues with that?

[unkempt lake]

And welp use a basic website with a form

[wheat plume]

They are basically making art and then sending that art to a printer to print onto products to sell

[unkempt lake]

Ebay doesn't care

[wheat plume]

O
Sounds good

That could all be handled by a rpi

Since eBay is doin the checkout process

[ashen spindle]

no you dont understand

there is nothing local hosted

you just put it on ebay as a listing

[wheat plume]

The site would be self hosted
Showing off the products and whatnot

Then linking each product to an eBay listing to buy them from

[unkempt lake]

Yes

Exactly

[ashen spindle]

just link directly to ebay

[wheat plume]

Yeh
But we need a website to advertise the products

[ashen spindle]

you can put whatever you want in the ebay listings

[unkempt lake]

Or have them set up a little store on ebay with all their items

And just send the link to the people

[ashen spindle]

yea just do that on the ebay store or product page

[unkempt lake]

They click they go to the store

[ashen spindle]

and if you want a link just have one that redirects to the store

[wheat plume]

It may be more impressive to potential customers if they have their own site

[unkempt lake]

But do they even make enough to cover the cost

It doesn't seem like it

You said 25$ was too much

[wheat plume]

Yeh cause Etsy haven't sent their payments to them yet
They won't get them for another 2 months .-.

[ashen spindle]

it costs a lot of time to maintain it, you need someone to said it up and then you gotta make sure your security is fine since it will be constantly exposed to the internet

[wheat plume]

So all the orders they got so far have been paid for out of pocket

[ashen spindle]

just look at ebay listings and store pages and copy that

[wheat plume]

Yep yep
Imma suggest this tomorrow

They want out of Etsy asap

[unkempt lake]

[rough osprey]

the dex is kinda nice

[gusty kiln]

Yeah, get like 4 of these for a massive ssd server

[gusty kiln]

Got any comparisons?

The sensor should be top notch after the update as well

Should be on par with razer

[rough osprey]

nah i only used symmetric mice the last years

[gusty kiln]

I can see a lot of csgo and val players switching to the dex

[rough osprey]

but as a gpx fan, this thing feels pretty good

[empty wren]

It also has ads

Imagine that

And tracked people

[frozen ingot]

ads even after paying for it?

[empty wren]

Looks like not

But to put the wallpaper on in standard definition

Watch two ads

Milked hard

[old marlin]

[steady sail]

Never enjoyed his content

[reef patrol]

No.

That's the price for using the free version.

I don't know wordsoup's content. Never bothered engaging because of the aforementiond channel name 😄

[cedar fog]

so is the whole app just wall papers for your phone

what the fuck

does YouTube not pay these people money anymore

what is with the sudden implosion of the shittiest business models ever from youtubers

[umbral heron]

Money
People keep buying it
Where is demand, a supply will show up too

[thick elk]

I would say it all depends on how the photo's are commissioned / licensed, compared to stock footage pricing is not too terrible.
As an end user of course not great but paying artists for it can make sense.

Plenty other options that are free.

[cedar fog]

I've always just use pexels

[reef patrol]

Artists are allowed to use AI in their creative process

[umbral heron]

What artists? It's just a scraper

[reef patrol]

Wordsoup literally just tried to reinvent Deviantart but as a paid app 😄

[cedar fog]

they take a 50% commission as well

[frozen ingot]

so they gonna charge 50 bucks a year for shitty ai art

[cedar fog]

to store your image on a database and s3 bucket

[thick elk]

Oh in that case, different matter.

[umbral heron]

Best thing is that some people on Twitter and Reddit think it's "a reasonable price"

[cedar fog]

it should be like max $2.50/m

[thick elk]

It would be if they paid actual artist to make actual things specifically for the app.

[old marlin]

💀 paying a wallpaper subscription

[thick elk]

not ai generated (assisted sure can work in some cases)

[umbral heron]

Should be $0
It's a useless scraper, which makes money solely because big YouTuber's name on it

[cedar fog]

it would have been way cooler if it was more linked to him

like an app that has all the images he takes for phone reviews

[thick elk]

Would I buy it of course not, just use my own photo's but if it were like that (isn't) it would at least warrant the price.
Even if it's not worth it for the vast majority.

[cedar fog]

or like finds reviews he did via products

[cedar fog]

only way id justify a price is if they had like some token based system that pays the artist (non-ai)

when you use the wallpaper

not that I'd ever use it

[ashen spindle]

Funniest part is how someone else just made the exact same app but better in one afternoon

[rough osprey]

did they mention how they pay the artists

[ashen spindle]

I would assume its the price you pay for the wallpaper minus some cut

[rough osprey]

ye but is it shared between everyone on the Platform or based on the amount of people using someones wallpaper

for the subscription

[ashen spindle]

well you pay for each wallpaper not the app

[rough osprey]

you can unlock all collections with the subscription

[ashen spindle]

oh, no clue about that one

didnt bother to look further after I saw its a shitshow that takes your location data for ai generated wallpapers lmao

[rough osprey]

ig it can make Sense if you often buy wallpapers and your Favorite creators are also featured on the app

only 14 rn tho

[ashen spindle]

I didnt even think people would even consider that for a phone wallpaper lol

wallpaper engine on desktop makes sense at least, can use your own stuff and adds more than just replacing the picture

[wild coyote]

Would you ever buy snapchat+ if you use snapchat everyday?

[rough osprey]

its not uncommon tbh

although you often get desktop versions instead of Phone wallpapers

[compact relic]

What does it do and what does it cost

[rough osprey]

still funny that he talked about getting his wallpapers from Backdrops and now just kinda copies the app

[wild coyote]

custom wallpapers for each individual chats, pin ur #1 best friend, snapchat 2x with other snapchat+ users, peek a peek (peeks a chat, but not really opened it), custom app themes and icons, snapstreak restore and reminders, customize home tab, unpin the AI, etc

normal euro prices are like 5-10 per month or sum

I'm just paying 6 euros yearly

[compact relic]

I wouldnt pay a dime for chat cosmetics, dunno if those other features are worth it

I've only used snapchat for a week or so

[wild coyote]

I just want the AI to be unpinned

being forced to see that is wild

oh and finally they added chat editing

💀

[compact relic]

So they have designed an inconvenience on purpose and then are selling you the solution?

[rough osprey]

if you use it a lot sure

[wild coyote]

yes

[compact relic]

But yea tbf 6 eur a year is nothing, go for it

[wild coyote]

tbh I'm paying it extremely cheaper than anything rn

game is game

[compact relic]

For 10 a month, nah

[wild coyote]

i think ad free is 8 euros a month?

and standard is 5 euros a month for the features

[rough osprey]

where does snapchat have ads

[wild coyote]

When you look at the stories that other entertainers/people made on the very right of snap

You get advertisements or sponsored stuff when playing them for like 30 seconds each

as if I look at those

[ashen spindle]

no I think most people are aware thats just a common misconception from people with little knowledge on the topic

[ashen spindle]

no

[latent mural]

Oh

Then ima put the 8gb to see if the brand compatibility issues work

I have two from factory 8gb each and one for corsair 16gb

[wild coyote]

Even if sitting in my own class no movement whatsoever, error appears.

[latent mural]

I was cleaning it and swapped the slots i think corsair is now on sodim 2 slot

Still boots and looks fine with the one that i was using before

But when i tried the other one to see if still works

It didn't boot

[ashen spindle]

it only matters where you put dimms if you have unpopulated slots

[latent mural]

So i put the other one back with Corsair in diff slots and ima text league of legends client ram issues again

Nah just got two

Also my wooting arrived

[ashen spindle]

want me to try out the most ahead gentoo build and post about every tiny issue, I think mansen would ban me for spam lol

[wheat plume]

Got about an hour to spend waiting for this update to download, install and reboot

[old marlin]

why do you install windows insider builds 💀

[wheat plume]

I wanna keep track of what new bloatware / spyware they add to the OS...its not my daily driver LOL....last time I booted this laptop was 95 days ago

I also keep Windows around for firmware updates for my controller and mouse

[old marlin]

yea and instead you get the beta experience

[wheat plume]

Windows Stable is a beta experience

Windows Insider is an alpha experience

[old marlin]

any OS is a beta experience then

[frozen ingot]

leave it to lana to never pass up on the thinnest of straws to rip on windows with

[wheat plume]

XD

[spare wedge]

Especially linux

[wheat plume]

Yes, but IDK how they messed up the taskbar icons when they work just fine on stable, a build this insider build is based on

[old marlin]

any OS

[wheat plume]

This is a regression

[ashen spindle]

ITS INSIDER

NOT FINAL RELEASE

[old marlin]

does macos let you save mouse acceleration settings between boots nowadays?

[frozen ingot]

linux is perpetually beta

[umbral heron]

[frozen ingot]

its the bethesda game of OSes

[wild coyote]

Tried Garuda, I regretted it

[spare wedge]

mouse accel

[frozen ingot]

relies on the userbase to fix it

[wheat plume]

Yeah, Garuda is meme OS

[old marlin]

yea it's on per default

[steep creek]

you can disable mouse accel in macos now yeah

[old marlin]

if you wanted it off you had to turn it off after every boot

[ashen spindle]

how did they mess up this previously working feature in a beta
same way literally any software introduces bugs after an update, and for insider they might have even be aware and still shipped it

because it doesnt matter if icons dont appear for a time in a preview build

[spare wedge]

Mouse accel kinda make sense for trackpad users

[frozen ingot]

its almost as if its a preview beta for a reason

so they can try out new things and mess things up without it affecting millions of users

[wild coyote]

Debian is a good distro for servers

[umbral heron]

[wild coyote]

Nobara is a good distro for me

[ashen spindle]

if anyone at microsoft was like "hey I found out we broke taskbar icons, we should not release this preview and fix this tiny thing first" they most likely would get laughed at, rightfully so

[atomic dragon]

Promox then you can run VM's

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1199848158394593460.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[final flame]

you can remove it on the home version

it's in the taskbar settings

[spare wedge]

You can also just disable it entirely via regedit I believe

[wheat plume]

I really dont like the candy icons

the colorful outline ones

[old marlin]

what

[old marlin]

those are all pretty same-ish

[wild coyote]

Garuda OS, more like candy crush os

[old marlin]

also why is there a woman in an egg shaped cutout

[final flame]

more like graphic design is my passion os

[spare wedge]

I wonder who even uses candy icons

I’ve never met a single person use them

[wheat plume]

Apparently a fuck ton of people, they are taking over r/unixporn lately

[old marlin]

and people complain about this shit

[ashen spindle]

because we are getting the classic youtube video breakdown via screenshots from lana

[old marlin]

we should turn that into a dearrow competitor

[wheat plume]

I was just saying that I dont like the icon pack and hoped people would agree or disagree

[spare wedge]

r/unixporn is just r/hyprlandporn

[old marlin]

gives you a random verbose comment as a title

but yea, the iconpack is kinda bad imo

[final flame]

this wallpaper looks ai generated, or at least ai upscaled

[old marlin]

even though I overall don't care

[wheat plume]

LOL yeah, with the obligatory anime or furry or anmime furry wallpaper

[old marlin]

i'd agree on generated

[wheat plume]

thats very likely

[spare wedge]

linux users and anime fans go hand-in-hand together

[final flame]

it's not even really that, it just gets clicks

cringe edgy jujitsu kaisen wallpaper + whatever popular colorscheme and boom got top page

[wheat plume]

....Imma try them on Gnome desktop LOL

...nah this sucks

although I like the colorful personal folders

[steady sail]

Those looks cool tho

[spare wedge]

Icon packs are also generally weird to have because you’ll never be able to have a theme for all icons

Unless you’re hella dedicated

[wheat plume]

Papirus 💜

I havent found an icon they dont have, other than Steam games

I found that Tela icon pack has an icon for Distance, which is my fav game :D

Is it possible to use the folder icons from one icon pack and use every other icon from another pack?

[umbral heron]

In index.theme of main theme you use add theme name you want to use as a fallback in Inherits= line, after comma with no space

[wheat plume]

oo

[latent mural]

any tec guys expert in laptop insides?

aka audio part cause it might have circuit and now only one side works

I might send it to the guarantee but again that would mean 1 month no gaming

and I use hyperx usb sound adapter for my senheiser cause monitor sound stuff makes noise, the big gaming monitor one atleast, cause some dude put the power thingie next to the audio thingie so yes now BZUUUM everywhere

[old marlin]

what

cause some dude put the power thingie next to the audio thingie so yes now BZUUUM everywhere

[wheat plume]

According to Logitech G Hub, my G305 is still at 30% despite not turning it off since getting it

[old marlin]

do you use a AA alkaline?

because that is the only kind of battery it can properly guess the charge on

[umbral heron]

It doesn't determine charge based on voltage?

[reef patrol]

[old marlin]

yea but the voltage curve varies very extremely on different kinds of batteries

rechargeables have a very flat curve that always stis quite low in comparison to a fully charged alkaline for example

non-rechargeable lithiums have a very flay curve at proper 1.5V tho

and then suddenly drop off

[wheat plume]

🤢 Logitech's new keyboard uses Micro USB

G915

wait, the X doesnt but the non X one does

[old marlin]

the G915 is not new

[wheat plume]

I must say
Google Messages is great at automatically blocking spam

Idk wtf the message even was before it blocked it

[wheat plume]

I did xd

Pretending to be Three
How original
/S

[pastel nacelle]

Idk spam tends to show up and its either a hospital or my work lmao.

[wheat plume]

Bad spam block :')

[pastel nacelle]

I choose to not save work phone numbers to my personal phone.

[wheat plume]

Yeh that makes sense

You weren't given a work phone?

Well
Guess it depends what job you have

[pastel nacelle]

I have a deactivated phone for work lmao.

Our director decided to not have customers be nosy about how we do our jobs.

[wheat plume]

I said idk what the message was because i didn't even get an alert that I received it
I just swiped down the notifications and saw messages had blocked something automatically for me

So you don't even have a chance to see the message before it gets blocked xd

Which is good imo

[wheat plume]

Xd

[reef patrol]

That's literally the point.

If it didn't pre-screen, it would be a shit spam detection.

[wheat plume]

The spam detection in Xiaomi's messaging app gives you time to see the message before it blocks it
You get a proper notification with the message preview and everything
It only blocks it when you go to open the message

[pastel nacelle]

Customers do not need to know how I go about doing non osha approved/non book way of doing a R&R to save time.

[wheat plume]

Yep

[wheat plume]

.... Aha xd

[pastel nacelle]

Repair manual tell me to remove extra parts. Me not do that. It stupid and unaffects the part being replaced.

Me use hose clamp and bungee ties.

[sudden imp]

W wallpaper?

[gusty kiln]

[frozen ingot]

this is why I never want to be a famous celebrity

there's enough weaponized autism out there to somehow dig out any and every stupid thing I've ever said regardless of how far it goes back

[gusty kiln]

But easy money

[wheat plume]

Yeh that's pretty nice!!

[final flame]

I forgor, what the tech man do

[sudden imp]

I mean if the wall papers previously weren’t free it’s very technical

People charge for their art work

[rough osprey]

paid wallpapers exist for a long time

[final flame]

paid artwork has existed since the creation of value

[ashen spindle]

app where you can buy wallpapers, has insane amount of tracking location data for ads, ux is horrible, acts like its some big deal when someone made it in like 5 hours on their own as a copy

[rough osprey]

good old times before value

[marsh pewter]

yeah but they aren’t usually a subscription

[ashen spindle]

the biggest meme is how he said there was a lot of work behind the scenes to make it launch on android and ios, when its just a react native app you can huddle together

[marsh pewter]

I don’t know who this is for. like unless you’re changing your wallpaper once a month I don’t see how you’re getting the value from this.

[rough osprey]

and that app has millions of Downloads

[final flame]

there's a lot of these apps on both stores that are subscription services for things that really shouldn't be one

and they're not cheap either

for example powershade

[rough osprey]

i mean the concept aint too bad

[mellow idol]

is there anything better than k688 that looks good?
dynamic
preferably

[rough osprey]

i hope the artists get paid good

[ashen spindle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-rumored-to-launch-end-of-october

[rough osprey]

so they benefit from the fame of mkbhd

[final flame]

it's not bad, but you have to consider the average userbase for this, people just want something nice for their phone
they aren't going to be too picky

[rough osprey]

then they can use one of the free wallpapers ig

[final flame]

they don't see the reason to pay for it if they can get something just as nice from google or another wallpaper site

there's plenty of art out there that's similar

[rough osprey]

if they not picky ye

[final flame]

mkbhd's original wallpaper was a generic wallpaper that was free

some form of this

[final flame]

the said picky ones are likely to already commission one for personal use

[rough osprey]

thats much more expensive tho

[final flame]

not really, depends on the artist

[rough osprey]

commisions for 7€ is crazy

[final flame]

and overall it will be more personal compared to the generic options that mkbhd is offering

[gusty kiln]

Ooo pretty early

[rough osprey]

i mean you just see a nice looking collection there and buy it

can support the artist and mkbhd xd

if they arent offering them anywhere else

[final flame]

and can also sell off your data for free

that's just a bonus though

[rough osprey]

ye the ad Tracking is a bit too or sum like that

[final flame]

also the artist doesn't really make much from this from what I can tell

[rough osprey]

havent really looked into it

[rough osprey]

did they publish the revenue sharing?

[pale sigil]

Texted me every single day for two weeks

I left them because they blocked my phone

[final flame]

people are saying 50% of the money is for "curation"

trying to find a official statement

[rough osprey]

hm

[final flame]

but tbh, unsplash has a lot of stuff that is all free

similar to this

[rough osprey]

not all free anymore

they got a subscription too

[final flame]

most of the photo's on there are free, rarely do you find one that's locked behind a subscription

[rough osprey]

scrolling on the Homepage, every 4th image is paid

[final flame]

it's because you're on the homepage they put those there...

[rough osprey]

ye also when searching stuff

they really wanna get the money now
