[umbral heron]

Shake mouse to make cursor bigger

I could make it to the size of the whole monitor

Gimme a sec

There's no limit to that

[old marlin]

is this a widely known issue?

I have never heard of it before

[umbral heron]

That's accesibility feature

[wheat plume]

the mouse getting big when you shake it? thats intentional...as for getting this big? I doubt that part is intentional

[old marlin]

that's the worst way to do it 💀

[wheat plume]

its how MacOS does it too

[umbral heron]

But you can turn it off

[old marlin]

I like the powertoys spotlight tbh

[wheat plume]

Yep

[old marlin]

wtf is gateron doing, they have already announced a new HE switch in octobre

like ???????

[thorn cypress]

just in case you don't find it

[old marlin]

is every new switch from them relevant for less than a month now

[umbral heron]

MOAR JADES

[old marlin]

why is there no size cap

[leaden kiln]

Hi yimi

[umbral heron]

Nope, there's not

[nimble canopy]

might have been a bug but has been promoted to feature

[umbral heron]

Why would there be? It's fun

[dull hollow]

new buds dropped!!

[thorn cypress]

Hi Mega

[old marlin]

connect a mouse jiggler

[wheat plume]

at least the cursor is vector based and doesnt get all chonky pixel xd

[nimble canopy]

at first it did

[umbral heron]

No, it's bitmap, it gets very chonky after a while

[leaden kiln]

Same

[wheat plume]

😅 oh

[distant tapir]

New buds are dropping for me next week (hopefully).

[umbral heron]

Breeze cursors are hi-res bitmaps

That's what I'm using right now

[dull hollow]

nice, what are you getting?

[digital cliff]

that's how chinese companies work

just make a new product when you finish making one product

[distant tapir]

Kefine Delci.

[digital cliff]

who cares about posterity, about support, about legacy, about anything but new shiny product gog ogogogo goo

[old marlin]

cherry MX celebrates their 40th birthday, meanwhile jade pro maxes are already irrelevant after half a month

[ashen spindle]

I dont quite remember, was there an ethernet spec that makes more sense to use for an outdoor cable or is it all the sam if I used an armored cable or put it into a duct?

dont remember if something like 5e or 6a just increases the signal or also makes it more robust

[old marlin]

Technically higher spec should be more robust

Doubt it makes a big difference though

[ashen spindle]

I think I still have leftover cable ducts so I just put it inside that and should be fine

nah no high speed needed

https://www.techpowerup.com/327057/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-and-9900x3d-to-feature-3d-v-cache-on-both-ccd-chiplets @astral haven

[umbral heron]

96M per CCD

[astral haven]

heck yea!

im still waiting on a motherboard tho 😦

[ashen spindle]

should be on monday

for x870 I mean, maybe one of them is good

[umbral heron]

Time to upgrade to 9950X3D once it releases

[old marlin]

so the 9800x3d will have more vcache per CCD?

[dull hollow]

this was so satisfying to unbox, it had iphone level of box fitment

[ashen spindle]

800 is single CCD

[umbral heron]

7800X3D has 96M too

[old marlin]

yea and it has 96 in one

while the other have 128 in 2

so the 800 has 50% more per CCD?

[leaden kiln]

Yeah lol the box is great

[ashen spindle]

different amount of base L3 cache

[umbral heron]

96+32 in 7950X3D
So 9800 will most likely have 96M too

[old marlin]

I mean that is the image they included?

[ashen spindle]

oh wait thats the combined one uhhh

[old marlin]

unless they have a mirrored cache per CCD

and that is 128MB

[umbral heron]

I am confusion

[ashen spindle]

two options, its 64mb on both then or its bridged and 128 that both can access maybe

[astral haven]

thats kinda scarey, if its dropping from 96 to 64 that could hurt

[astral haven]

and its the same iodie so theres no sharing

[ashen spindle]

maybe that allows higher clocks

[astral haven]

maybe, but if its thinner, it may be prone to cracking

[ashen spindle]

dont think its thinner just more dark silicon to transfer the heat

so the dimensions of a 64 and 96mb cache chiplet would be the same

[astral haven]

that makes sense, the 96m is 3 layers tall?

i thought that x3d was a single layer

[ashen spindle]

we dont know if its the same chiplet as before

since the base l3 in zen5 has shrunk quite a lot it could be a different layout

physically shrunk, not the amount

[astral haven]

yea but i thought the stacking process was far too expensive to be usable for now

cause the yield compounds

[ashen spindle]

guess we will see when we know the prices xD

[astral haven]

yup

i do kinda wish they had gone 20 cores, x3d ccd + z5c ccd

[umbral heron]

8 x3d cores and 2x6 z5?

[digital cliff]

good cpu prices waiting room

[astral haven]

No 1x12 z5C

[ashen spindle]

wouldnt fit in the socket

[umbral heron]

Would diffusing 12c die make sense for only one chip?

[ashen spindle]

and would have needed a new iod likely

[umbral heron]

Other than that maybe 9900x could use it

[astral haven]

Y tho? It uses the same connection for Bergamo vs genoa no?

[ashen spindle]

the client iod can probably only connect to 2 ccds

[astral haven]

Yea

So 1 zen5x3d, 1 zen5c

[ashen spindle]

idk if it can connect to c cores, and the c cores chiplet would be too big for the socket still probably

[astral haven]

Which is why I said 12c not 16c but it does in fact physically fit rn

[ashen spindle]

does 12c fit if we a ssume they make a custom die for that? idk the dimensions

[ashen spindle]

you need to look at zen5 cores they are bigger

[astral haven]

16c would probably fit assuming 5c is as efficient as 4c and 12c would be ez even if it's worsr

[ashen spindle]

can use zen4 numbers

[astral haven]

Yea but zen5c isn't out yet no?

[ashen spindle]

there are die shots of turin and turin-d

when lisa showed it first at computex

[astral haven]

Holding up on stage isn't condusive to mm sizing

[ashen spindle]

yeah but we know socket sizes and all can can make out from that if the entire chiplet is bigger or not

not accurate but that its bigger

[astral haven]

It is bigger for sure

Otherwise why bother with only 12 of em instead of 16

[unkempt lake]

Hello wootgang

[unkempt lake]

We had good cpu prices 3 months ago

😛

[digital cliff]

not really :<

[astral haven]

I also really hope for strix halo desktop boards

[unkempt lake]

My 7800x3d disagrees

[digital cliff]

it's almost 500€

need that at 350€ and then we can talk

[astral haven]

It was previously under $400, wait for sale

[unkempt lake]

Now yeah, 3 months ago no

😛

I said had for a reason

[digital cliff]

3 months ago it still wasn't close to a good price

[unkempt lake]

425cad is a good price tho

🙂

[gusty kiln]

Like the embedded ones miniforum sell?

[astral haven]

no like the sketchy laptop cpu atx motherboards but not sketchy pls

[gusty kiln]

Oh kek

Aliexpress special

[wheat plume]

any good mics for about 20-30 Euro?

for streaming

[ashen spindle]

nope

[astral haven]

lav mic

[gusty kiln]

Yeah need at least 50 euro

But rtx voice helps alot

[ashen spindle]

dont think you can even find a lav mic that cheap?

[wheat plume]

rtx voice, dont have RTX gpu just GTX

[astral haven]

i just bought a pair of moondrop mc1s for $25

those + scissors = lav mic so im sure you can get just a lav mic for that

[wheat plume]

ok.... what mic for 50 then?

[ashen spindle]

you can use rtx voice on a gtx card

[gusty kiln]

Prime day is right around the corner

[astral haven]

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-MAONO-Omnidirectional-Microphone-Recording-Broadcasting/dp/B074BLM973
eg this idk if its good tho

[ashen spindle]

Razer Seiren Mini might be a good choice for above 30€

[astral haven]

samson go mic portable is the highest quality cheap mic

[gusty kiln]

My samson q2u used to be in the 40s but now it's 70

[astral haven]

the logitech garageband mic isnt made any more but is on ebay for $10ish and relatively good

https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Portable-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42
go mic portable is still around tho

samson is american company so not cheap in europe

and if you have iems already, moondrop mc1 could be doubly nice since its integrated

[umbral heron]

5700X3D is around 200€

[steady sail]

and thats a great cpu

[rough osprey]

7600X3D also cheap

[steady sail]

if u can buy it yeah

[frozen ingot]

not sure if I'd call a €425 cpu cheap

[digital cliff]

you can find so many mics for that price though

[digital cliff]

too much!

[digital cliff]

for example even the classic pennypincher zalman ZM-mic

[frozen ingot]

my bad the one I found listed here was mislabeled

[wheat plume]

Oh ....

[umbral heron]

There's no reason to enable Secure Boot to be honest

[ashen spindle]

well the question was for a good mic

[wheat plume]

really??

[digital cliff]

it is good

people have been using sub-30€ mics for 2 decades and only in the last 2 years have people started considering anything under 100 bad

[wheat plume]

This???

[frozen ingot]

yeah €20-30 mics are more than fine for most people who'll just use it for voicechat or some video calls

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah that one served me well enough for years until the cable broke and I didn't feel like resoldering yet again

[frozen ingot]

my brother used one of those for years too

[wheat plume]

I love how easy it is to manage Wooting devices on Bazzite, once you enable Wootiing support in the Bazzite installer, it manages the udev rules and everything for you :D

Just updated my keyboard firmware cause I got a notification that there was one

[digital cliff]

yeah that mic is like the go-to if you only wanna spend like a tenner

they just break super easy

[wheat plume]

o..

[pastel nacelle]

I want a led display with the bongo cat hitting the keyboard when a button is pressed.

[dull hollow]

i loved using this as a png

i forgot what program its called though i havent used it in a while

it was customizable too

it accurately tracked which keys you pressed and also has mouse tracking

you could choose which mouse bongo was using

[wheat plume]

https://www.thomann.de/ie/behringer_sl_85s.htm

what about this mic?

[frozen ingot]

do you plan on singing into it

[dull hollow]

karaoke!!

[astral haven]

thats gonna be alot more than your budget once you add an interface

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/karaoke-queen-gif-26376851

[frozen ingot]

and yeah you need a decent microphone amp to use it

[astral haven]

eh not decent just existent

[frozen ingot]

true I guess

[wheat plume]

streaming

https://www.thomann.de/ie/behringer_bu5.htm

[frozen ingot]

that will probably do the job

[wheat plume]

the mainstream distros supports it too now

Oh?

I guess support for it is mostly for dual booting or switching from Windows

[wild coyote]

I might feel cute and dual boot :3

[wheat plume]

Does it actually increase system security?

Oh lol

Nah
No one I don't trust would have physical access to my Deck

Does steam let you remotely log out of a device?

[wild coyote]

yes

you can deauthorize all devices via phone

[wheat plume]

Oh yeh

I always do

[bright belfry]

hello I ordered a wooting 60he+ and got a email from RuJie they havent responded to my email yet

[ashen spindle]

#1019755933959733258

[halcyon moss]

It's making it harder to get access to a machine locally. Kinda important for laptops and the such.

But uh.. Yeah disabled :p

[rough osprey]

https://youtu.be/34h1HPqhDHw?si=dkryyEuAA-ZScJfC

[umbral heron]

Hmmm
I'd get 850W PSU, but the problem is most of them come with 2 individual PCIe power lines
And I need 3

[ashen spindle]

why do you need 3?

[digital cliff]

because two is too little 🍧

[umbral heron]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asrock-rx-7900-xtx-phantom-oc.b9957

[ashen spindle]

thats fine just use two cables

[umbral heron]

That's illegal

Just leave one slot empty?

[ashen spindle]

no you just use these

[fair gull]

i think quin assumes you got 2x2pcie power

[ashen spindle]

one cable for one and one for the other two slots

[umbral heron]

Ah, I see

[gusty nexus]

Fire hazard 👀🔥

[ashen spindle]

yeah if you OC maybe

[fair gull]

thats... how most PSUs ship these days

[ashen spindle]

but you dont need 3 8pins for the power the cards draw so it creates no problem to just use these

you can get like 700w easily on 2 8pins

[umbral heron]

Can I use my 700W psu with it until 850W one comes?

[ashen spindle]

yeah I mean worst case if you have powerspike it shuts down from overcurrentportection

thats how all my cables looked I got so far and I always used 2 cables for 3x8pin cards lol

[gusty nexus]

If you have a good psu

[ashen spindle]

yeah bronze rating or other bad stuff dont do it

but I'm assuming some half decent quality at least

[umbral heron]

Cooler Master MWE White 700W V2

[digital cliff]

don't talk about PSUs or else I'll start thinking about the 10-year old secondhand one in my PC

and get all sweaty

[gusty nexus]

Yes but it's not good 😅
I use one cable for one 8pin just to be secure..

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/halloween-among-us-sus-drip-gif-23635245

(Fleimi rn)

[gusty nexus]

[ashen spindle]

I would never use 1 for 3 or one if it only has two pins but for 3 when you have powerdraw that can basically be covered by one? yeah unless it would be some low quality china trash I'm not bothering with 3 cables

[gusty nexus]

Yeah but with 3 cable it's safe..

[umbral heron]

Better idea
I'll just power limit it to 250W until new PSU arrives

[ashen spindle]

decent cables are fine with 300W since the 150w rating for the 8pins is for the absolute bottom tier of worst cables, then you have up to like 75W over pcie, so having just 2 actual cables seems fine to me for 350w cards

[gusty nexus]

What is the spec of 8 pins cable ?

[gusty nexus]

Oh okay

[fair gull]

im pretty sure cables get tested by the psu manufacturer

same for the psu itself

so they work as intended

[digital cliff]

well I would fucking hope so! nervously eyes the PSU they have

[gusty nexus]

Yes but my xtx can do 420w (stock) 😅

[fair gull]

i mean it would be needlessly risking lawsuits over broken cards/psus/housefires if they dont test their PSUs and cables

[ashen spindle]

I mean still then, could be done with 1.5 cables xD

[misty matrix]

xtxs can go up to 525, but if you limit your wattage to like 400 you'll be fine and then some

[umbral heron]

525W?!
I'm scared of new technology

[misty matrix]

||525 without any modding and tomfoolery i mean||

xtxs can take a lot of power

much more than it says on the tin

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah there are absolutely situations where you do want 3 cables for full power

but if you have a lower power psu set it to 350 and you're fine

[gusty nexus]

At least you will have less chance to have a problem than a 4090 user with only one 12pins cable

[final flame]

@gusty kiln moondrop speaker + a few other releases

[gusty kiln]

Ooo

[shrewd cipher]

Important note to only plug the cables into your PSU that came with it and then plug the Y-Connector to the end of that cable.. There is no standard for the connectors on the PSU itself, which can lead to + being wired to a data/- line, killing your components.

[ashen spindle]

yes, dont mix and match cable/psu brands

[jaunty rose]

Better than most laptops and office Pc’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwPqn8LZxLI

Only for like $180

Crazy value

No gpu tho

That’d be crazy if it did have one

[wheat plume]

🤔 interesting change I just saw
FastFetch now detects the Steam Deck controller, before now it just said I had an Xbox controller

[distant tapir]

I think I want an Audeze Maxwell.

[bright briar]

i heard theyre good as well

[distant tapir]

They are good.

[atomic nest]

I’ve had a pair for a year or so. Solid headset but don’t get it if you want sidetone. They still haven’t been able to implement it in a decent fashion yet

[sudden imp]

Okay, so my steam client boots up when I turn on my PC right? Well the tab doesn't automatically open even though it starts running immediately I have to click on the steam icon in my task bar to open it. Can someone please help? 😭

Or is this normal and I'm a crazy person.

[astral haven]

"the tab"

[sudden imp]

I don't know how to explain

This isnt open when I boot up my pc however, the program is running in the background

[astral haven]

you mean the window?

[sudden imp]

yes!

I use the two interchangably im sorry

[astral haven]

turn off the setting "minimize on startup"

[sudden imp]

TY!

Okay I'm struggling to find it

[astral haven]

me too, they might have gotten rid of it

[sudden imp]

I think so

Guess it starts in the background permantly then

RIP

might turn it to start up when I click the icon then

[unkempt lake]

https://wccftech.com/amd-x670e-motherboards-limiting-gen5-ssds-gen1-speeds-users-unable-to-boot-windows/

[distant tapir]

B650 chads win again.

[ashen spindle]

some are fixed and running it in gen4 seems to work so seems like some gen5 early adopter issues

[unkempt lake]

I have like 2/3 gen 4 slot filled and my gen 5 is empty

[ashen spindle]

why do you have a gen5 ssd

[unkempt lake]

My board is x670e i just dont have a gen5

Installed

I have a gen 3 and a gen 4 in

Along with an empty gen4 and 5 slot

[ashen spindle]

huh your boot drive is not in the main ssd slot?

[unkempt lake]

Nope

[frozen ingot]

new rig boots ridiculously fast

16 secs from power on to windows login

[unkempt lake]

Its gen 4 anyways why would i put it in a gen 5 slot

[ashen spindle]

because usually thats the one directly connected to the cpu and not via chipset

aka the primary m.2 slot

[sudden imp]

POV: ASUS denies your warranty (it’s a feature)

[unkempt lake]

Doesn't really matter tbh

Speeds are still good via the chipset

[ashen spindle]

I mean if you dont do much via the io die sure but in the same vein might as well put it in the primary slot

it's usually just done to avoid any issues that could occur but it doesnt matter much

just unusual

[unkempt lake]

Never really had any boot issues or detection issues

[distant tapir]

The Asrock B650 on3?

[unkempt lake]

Technically there's no reason for it to not work

[ashen spindle]

well yeah issues aren't a common thing

[unkempt lake]

I dual booted on z390 with 2 m.2s 1 os per m.2

[frozen ingot]

b650m-hdv/m.2

[unkempt lake]

Never had issues either

[ashen spindle]

its just direct connection vs through chipset, same as to why you usually want to space out usb devices to multiple controllers

usually wont matter much until you have like a 8khz mouse on the same hub as other devices

in the same vein it wont crash or anything just because you use an ssd via chipset

[unkempt lake]

Exactly

I get that optimally you'd use the main but

Realistically... shit's good enough to run an os from a chipset ssd nowadays

[ashen spindle]

has better directstorage performance 😛

[unkempt lake]

I'll install a gen5 in the gen5 slot someday

When they don't cost an arm and a leg

Until then i dont give a damn xD

[balmy vector]

oh my god i just found out my 10 bit suddenly looked so bad

windows decided to turn on the automatic color management for apps

[spare wedge]

We love windows

[balmy vector]

we love windows

[frozen ingot]

more like we're stuck with windows for better or worse

[narrow cape]

my exact thoughts

[open ruin]

you're not stuck with windows tho

it's a free market, windows just happens to be the better OS

[wheat plume]

Better ? Nah
Supports more software because of its high market share so devs target it ? Yah

[chilly fractal]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, can anyone confirm Wuque WS Dash HE switches are compatiblew with the 60HJE module please? Thanks

[open ruin]

that sounds like the better OS if majority of the market chooses to stick with it despite it's flaws compared to the others out there

[chilly fractal]

*60HE module

[balmy vector]

#🪛│modding_faq has a switch compatibility list if you scroll up

[open ruin]

instead of trying to using linux or macOS

[wheat plume]

The people choose to stick to it purely because the software
Id argue no one really likes Windows itself
They just use it so they can launch the apps they actually do like

Idk anyone who genuinely likes the windows desktop design
With the inconsistent dark theme and ads for OneDrive and shit all over the place
And how awful it is to change default browser away from Edge

[chilly fractal]

Thanks a lot for that list.

[final flame]

if you consider many of the software that make up windows, the design is not bad
Linux has flaws, Windows has flaws
It's just what flaws you're willing to take

[open ruin]

Like I wrote earlier, it's a free market, people are free to use the linux base and create their next windows. But most likely won't due to the heaps of work it would require all of the current existing apps

But it's possible

[wheat plume]

Most of the software people use is already in Linux!

Except niche software and games with kernel level anticheat

[final flame]

yea, with a compatibility layer, which I wouldn't consider fully because all it takes is a update to potentially break it

[wheat plume]

Idk
The desktop shell itself is ok maybe
But the disjointed settings vs control panel
The broken update system
It's a pain

[wheat plume]

What?

Most people use their computer just to open a web browser
Which is all already on Linux natively

[open ruin]

to me I see windows the better OS still, every platform has their flaws but the core of windows still functions like I've remembered for the past 20 years

[final flame]

if you're a professional user who uses software which aren't available, you need that software to work
downtime isn't a option

[wheat plume]

The only software I've needed the compatibility layer for is games

[lyric hatch]

A lot of businesses are tied to the m365 suite, Adobe, CAD

[empty wren]

Proton and wine exist

[empty wren]

Adobe be the only who does not give free software license to students out of those

[final flame]

if you go to a school that doesn't care about you yea

[wheat plume]

Yeah
I use them for games

[final flame]

many schools pay for adobe if it's part of your degree plan

[empty wren]

I know what you mean but like then it bared by the high school or college

[wheat plume]

Actually
I recently used proton to launch some software to patch Control

[empty wren]

It it was free to students imagine how much more people would grow into it

Microsoft did well with Microsoft 365

[wheat plume]

So I could access the PlayStation exclusive mission...

[empty wren]

And actually it probably is the best office suite anyways

They still add features to it

[wheat plume]

Yeah it is sadly

[empty wren]

Not sadly

[wheat plume]

Sadly because it doesn't support .odt format for documents

[empty wren]

It is without question nothing compares unless you want very basic functionality

[wheat plume]

And it's not cross platform

And it's expensive af

[empty wren]

You can buy once unlike adobe

[wheat plume]

You can't

[empty wren]

You can use the browser

[wheat plume]

It's subscription only

[empty wren]

Not office home

[wheat plume]

The browser version has only like 10% of the features

[empty wren]

If you want consistent updates subscription makes sense, software people need to eat too

[empty wren]

If you want basic functionality libre office or open office exist probably cross platform

I have been coded a slides document with code before

[wheat plume]

I use WPS Office mostly

[final flame]

let's be honest here, there aren't many features in the desktop version the average person will need
have been using Word for a while and there hasn't been any features I need from a basic document editor

[empty wren]

Well there you go then

[empty wren]

Exactly

But if someone wants em office has em most likely

[wheat plume]

Yeah but it's shit for viewing and editing diagrams that were created initially in MS Office

[empty wren]

Convert them to PDF?

[wheat plume]

Every office suite is

[empty wren]

Or just use online office

[final flame]

oh yea, pdf would suck to use on linux
especially if you're making anything more complex

[wheat plume]

Online office doesn't support those diagram features

[empty wren]

Well then screenshot it and make a new document

Or code it

[wheat plume]

PDF is a universal standard

.....
It's just as easy to use and manage on Linux than Windows

[empty wren]

https://revealjs.com/

[wheat plume]

^ true

[final flame]

it's universal, but that doesn't mean there is a lot of software that support the full range of features for editing
especially for free

[wheat plume]

I really need to learn how to use it

[wheat plume]

On Linux there is

I found an app to edit every single piece of PDF metadata in the file

What to change shit you usually never get to see in a PDF ? Go ahead!

My issue is more on how do you create and preview the file as you type the markdown

[astral haven]

But it is, in fact, a proprietary standard, even if it's universally used.

[halcyon moss]

It's a standardized format according to wikipedia

or besties

[magic minnow]

ty ty!

[sage hazel]

anyone know how i can get more stable FPS on val? ive got an i5-10600k with a 3060ti FE but i cant stay at a stable 240fps

[vapid ruin]

Yey, I use arch so this could mean it can become a good OS for gaming

[digital cliff]

all this stuff is beating around the bush which is lack of standardization

until that happens linux is forever "iunno works on my machine" which is not an awesome experience

[steady sail]

U gonna get more than just 240

[digital cliff]

I'm saying valve throwing money into linux is good. but the real problem with linux being like 4% of desktop instead of I dunno, 25%, 50%, whatever, is because it's so fragmented and shit at its core

so I dunno would rather see efforts towards that

not really talking about the kernel, just talking about the existence of it

being a fragmented thing just means everything is worse than if there was just "one linux"

no I don't need to argue technicalities or semantics

you know what I mean, there's one "windows" you get

there's also one "macOS"

but there's sort of thousands of "linuxes"

and that's the problem

need one flavor only

not 20 init systems, 50 desktops, thousands of incompatible libraries

and so on

and there's a very good reason not to

shit working the same every time

honestly I don't know since I haven't used it in years

[sage hazel]

i dont tho lol

[digital cliff]

joke's on you, I've been fulltiming linux for 5 years

[wheat plume]

I main Fedora and it's FANTASTIC 💜💜

[digital cliff]

windows

[steady sail]

Whats your cpu and gpu temps and how much memory ?

[digital cliff]

I replied to the last message

[sage hazel]

around 50-70c and ive only got 16gbs of ram

[steady sail]

Welp idk man

[wheat plume]

Are you still using hyprland?

It's too confusing for new users
Not knowing what one to pick

I always suggest Pop or Fedora

[digital cliff]

yep

[ashen spindle]

If you google as someone with no clue about the topic you get dozens of sites saying Ubuntu is the default Linux lol

[wheat plume]

Ubuntu is shit now :'(

[ashen spindle]

Tell that to google

[wheat plume]

I don't recommend

[ashen spindle]

How is someone supposed to know that

[steep creek]

i googled "best distro for beginners" checked 3 different articles and none of them can agree on what the best distro is

[wheat plume]

Xd

Yeah sounds about right

Fedora is truly amazing
Never had issues with it

[steep creek]

whereas if i go into any tech store and pickup a mac or windows pc, it comes with the same os pretty much

[wheat plume]

Mint is so fucking boring with the really dull colors and dreadful default wallpaper

New users will get bored of seeing it and move back to Windows

[ashen spindle]

Sorry but nobody cares about default wallpapers when it’s about what os to choose

[wheat plume]

Yes they do
Barely any normie changes it

[ashen spindle]

Yes because they don’t care

[wheat plume]

Bet if you go to a library
You'll see most people using the default windows one

[ashen spindle]

Yes, because they don’t care

[digital cliff]

then when you do have problems with linux there's 27 different configurations of stuff to troubleshoot and one fix doesn't work for others, editing 5 different config files because xorg or wayland or audio servers can't decide what file to use, libraries being incompatible or there's an unreported bug, or your hardware just doesn't work, or you have any other number of things nobody can troubleshoot so you're just hanging out on forums for 6 months trying to solve your obscure problem that only manifests on your machine with your configuration

[wheat plume]

Yeah if it's nice looking
The one default in Mint is just dark grey with a monochrome mint logo

It's dreadful

[alpine patio]

u got a pic?

kinda curious

[wheat plume]

Such a shame cause they have such nice landscape photos installed by default

[ashen spindle]

Most people use a fullscreen chrome tab 90% of the time they are at a screen

They don’t care enough about a wallpaper to change os for that

[alpine patio]

what da fk is that

[wheat plume]

They made a fucking northern lights photo pre-installed

WHY NOT USE THAT?!

Why use this boring shit?

^

[wheat plume]

They used to use this one too

[steep creek]

wayland has been such a buggy mess for me, constant stutters and freezes

x11 is more stable on my system

yeah true that. but i just want a working os

[wheat plume]

Linux has always been trying to make janky hacks to fix Nvidia driver issues

Nvidia won't fix them

[steep creek]

ill just stick to windows for now and keep arch as my second os

[wheat plume]

Nvidia are actually making useable Linux drivers now????

But they are proprietary
No one else can work on them

[nimble canopy]

what are you using for idle and lockscreen / turning the screen off when locked for a few seconds
on my end after it turns the screen of and i after a like half an hour when i want to use my computer it just crashes and i have to basicly restart the computer?

[wheat plume]

Nouveau is garbage though

Oh?

Oo......

WTF that's unexpected af

[digital cliff]

well, my untroubleshooteable bugs:

1. my mouse literally won't work on booting my PC unless I replug it, it's like a 1/10 chance it won't and system journal just gives an undescript error nobody on the internet or documentation knows anything about
2. sound in discord or applications keeps randomly disappearing, there's also no guaranteed way to reproduce this. either chromium, firefox or app discord can work, or they might not. sometimes it's the game audio that disappears, other times it's discord audio.
3. electrom/chromium sucks and functionality in them is again a dice roll, IME doesn't work or does work, capslock as backspace doesn't really work (important for my layout)

[wheat plume]

But very welcome

What mouse?!

[digital cliff]

I don't have either

[nimble canopy]

[digital cliff]

maybe your windowmanager/de has sort of an "ecosystem" way of doing it

[nimble canopy]

nah im talking about using hyprland

[digital cliff]

xm1

just a normal mouse really

[wheat plume]

I used to have a Mad Catz mouse
And it didn't like Linux
Any time I tried to right click, the entire desktop would freeze and spam right click

Yeh xd

I had the Rat 7

The only distro that didn't have an issue with it was SolusOS

[digital cliff]

there's hyprlock and hypridle

literally the "ecosystem" ways of doing it :>

I don't really see a need for these things, I can just leave my screen on and unlocked all the time personally

[nimble canopy]

yea except when you turn off the screen hyprlock crashes and you cant log in anymore

well maybe in 6 month it will be usable

yea kde is nice as a just works

but man that tiling is nice

[digital cliff]

yeah whaddya know, how am I not surprised

perhaps. but then that leads me to complain about having "options" again if solution is to just use the one DE that works

my point exactly being that if there was one big standard that just always worked, we wouldn't have all these issues

[wheat plume]

Gnome
Plasma
Cinnamon

Those all work

Budgie desktop doesn't really count cause that's just GNOME with a different shell

[frozen ingot]

it is though

[wheat plume]

Most use gnome?

[digital cliff]

tell you what, I'll give KDE a go but I'll be really sad when I can't get it to tile like I want

[frozen ingot]

wholly depends on what else you got going on with your system

[digital cliff]

I know, last I checked they sucked

but maybe things are better now

[wheat plume]

They still mostly suck

[digital cliff]

it was like 3 years ago

[wheat plume]

Isn't bismuth the new main tiling plugin?

[ashen spindle]

DDR5 post times increased it a bit so it shifted what’s a fast startup, also sleep vs actual reboot etc.

Shows me like 14-16s in task manager usually which is quite nice

[wheat plume]

Also
Windows doesn't actually fully turn off the system when you click shutdown

[ashen spindle]

It does if you set it to do so

[digital cliff]

if I kick the kde statusbar and use my own, can I tell the windows not to tile over the bar I have

[wheat plume]

Yeah by turning off Fast Boot
But that's on by default and it's hard to find in the control panel

[digital cliff]

good

[frozen ingot]

right my systems have varied a lot in boot up time over the years

[ashen spindle]

Okay but this isn’t about defaults or if it’s easy to find its about what changes in post times due to newer hardware

[wheat plume]

I'm not arguing hardware
I'm saying that Windows, by default, do NOT fully power off the system when you click shutdown

[halcyon moss]

Disabling it is only needed when dual booting Linux

A non issue for 99%

[wheat plume]

Or if you physically unplug your computer from the wall socket when not using it

[iron wave]

Oh yeah I recently turned fast boot off myself.

It's so stupid that it leaves NTFS dirty.

[wheat plume]

Yep

And can cause issues if you unplug your computer

[iron wave]

That has never affected me.

[wheat plume]

I wish I didn't have to unplug my computer overnight
But coil whine is unbearable to me when trying to sleep

[iron wave]

Your PSU's standby circuit whines?

[wheat plume]

You can use kwin standalone??

[wheat plume]

No
I think it's the GPU

[iron wave]

That shouldn't have any power with the computer off.

[ashen spindle]

If your computer has coilwhine when shut down go to bios and disable stuff like usb power being on and that should eliminate it

[wheat plume]

Actually NVM
I just remembered DeepinOS uses kwin

[wheat plume]

Oh ok I'll try

The monitor power brick also has whine

[iron wave]

Speaking of power stuff though, who's looking forward to 12VO?

[ashen spindle]

If you have a bad psu maybe a few minutes from capacitors discharging but shouldn’t make any noise after

[wheat plume]

But I have the monitor on a different plug

[iron wave]

Oh yeah that's very common unfortunately.

[wheat plume]

Yep :/

Another reason I wish I didn't have my computer in my bedroom

[ashen spindle]

Don’t expect it to come to DiY so won’t affect me

[wheat plume]

I'm very very sensitive to high pitched noises

[ashen spindle]

Get one of these and you just hit the switch and don’t need to unplug shit

[iron wave]

I hope it does soon, it would be nice to have more efficient machines.

[ashen spindle]

It doesn’t really make them more efficient when in use

[iron wave]

That's not a good solution.

[ashen spindle]

It’s mostly on idle and such

[iron wave]

Yeah I know.

[wheat plume]

All the sockets in the house have switches
But I still need to lean back behind my desk to flick it

[iron wave]

But I'm not using my computer most of the time.

[wheat plume]

LOL

[iron wave]

That's very British sounding.

[wheat plume]

I'm Irish
Every wall socket in Ireland has a switch beside it
Unless your house was built within the last 9 years

[steady sail]

Or just one next to her ear

[snow eagle]

Hi guys I am new here, and i need some help with my wooting keyboard. I've been using it for half year, since last night the keyboard started randomly typing then it turns off.. I've tried different ports and cables and its still doing the same thin-]'/

Same general geographical area right? That's like a few countries away?

[ashen spindle]

Check #1019755933959733258

[wheat plume]

[iron wave]

I'm american do you expect me to know geography?

[wheat plume]

We are stuck with northern Ireland here

It's creating massive issues for us

And for UK too

[iron wave]

Anyway, time to do my weekly shopping and my weekly "bad for you breakfast".

[wheat plume]

Hmmm

What's your bad for you breakfast?

Ooofff

[iron wave]

Usually a McDonald's bagel.

[frozen ingot]

mine is having a beer with my breakfast

[iron wave]

I don't drink alcohol so I can't do that.

[frozen ingot]

very tasty with some fried food like a full english or something

[frozen ingot]

these are low abv ones like 2,8-3,5%

[iron wave]

It's higher than 0. :-)

[halcyon moss]

I wish my wall sockets had switches

[frozen ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/its-going-up-and-up-andrew-yang-big-think-going-up-improving-gif-18731300

[iron wave]

Old American houses/buildings normally have one socket with a switch.

Turns out I left way too early and the store isn't open yet. .-.

Guess I'll just drive around being silly.

[frozen ingot]

seems a bit inconvenient having the switch at floor level

[wheat plume]

Each socket has one

[frozen ingot]

[wheat plume]

Oh
And all plugs are fused

[frozen ingot]

never seen a switch next to a power outlet here

except for like outdoor ones

[magic minnow]

I’m from Dundalk

I lied I’m American too

[marsh glade]

Do a burnout!

[iron wave]

I don't think I can.

FWD and all of that jazz.

[wheat plume]

[wheat plume]

:p

[frozen ingot]

you can still do burnouts with the front wheels

[marsh glade]

Just hold the handbrake at the same time, no problem

[wheat plume]

Can you drift and do donuts on any car or do you need a rally car? Xd

Or sports car

[frozen ingot]

nah

just kinda want rear wheel drive

or awd

[marsh glade]

Hot hatches are the best car to drive, prove me wrong

[wheat plume]

WTF are those

[frozen ingot]

most fun for the buck for sure

[frozen ingot]

smol slanted back car like a ford fiesta or focus

with lots of power

[marsh glade]

Look at how much fun this picture is having!

[wheat plume]

Oh
Kinda like the shape of my car

[frozen ingot]

bit too modern for my taste but I'd fuck with that RS

I miss light cars

[wheat plume]

Ibiza gang

[frozen ingot]

80s hot hatches were the highlight of cheap fun motoring

[marsh glade]

Hot hatches are the perfect balance between fun and practicallity. Small enough to not be a nuisance to drive in the city, big enough to actually fit 4 adults and luggage. Enough power to zip about, but economical if you drive chill.

[iron wave]

It's electric and I'm not sure if it would let me, I haven't tested.

[frozen ingot]

didn't need much power but still went like stink

and because no weight it would handle corners with ease

[iron wave]

My car only has 200HP and a little over 200Ft Lbs of torque.

[wheat plume]

I saw a modern Ibiza a few days ago

The outside looks almost the exact same as my one
But I saw that the new one had a large screen on the center console

[frozen ingot]

nowadays a tiny hatchback be like 1500kg+ easy

fatass cars

[wheat plume]

I hate how big modern cars are

And how tall .... So dangerous

[frozen ingot]

big and heavy

[wheat plume]

When I'm driving at night
And a tall car is driving towards me
Their headlights are at head height to me .-.
I get fucking blinded

[iron wave]

I have a "small car" and it's still huge.

[wheat plume]

I may need to get those light glare glasses

[wheat plume]

It's stupid at this point
The suv headlines are at head height of people driving small cars

[frozen ingot]

gib

random embed fail, thank you discord

[iron wave]

There are so many cars that are so freaking tall that their lights go straight into all of my mirrors and into my face.

[wheat plume]

Yep .-.

[iron wave]

And I'm in Texas so most cars are either giant trucks or idiots in sports cars.

[frozen ingot]

I imagine its even worse in the US

[marsh glade]

I take your embed fail and raise you a direct upload

[frozen ingot]

but the SUV plague has well and truly spread here too

[wheat plume]

I fucking hate them

Small cars ftw
Easy to drive
Fit into smaller spaces
Better fuel efficiency

[frozen ingot]

now that's how a small car should look

shame I don't fit in a lot of small cars

being like 190

[iron wave]

Instead of people learning to drive they are just buying bigger and bigger cars so they aren't the ones dying in the crashes they cause.

[marsh glade]

It just oooozes fun and cheap replacement panels

[frozen ingot]

like I couldn't fit comfortably in a fiat 500 even with the seats all back

[wheat plume]

My mom's car is way larger than mine
And when I sit into the passenger seat, I am touching the ceiling

So the size of the car doesn't always mean you'll have a better chance of fitting in...

[iron wave]

I got one of these guys.

[wheat plume]

The shape is.. Interesting

[frozen ingot]

back in school I wanted an alfa gtv then I tried sitting in one, literally couldn't find a position for it to be drivable, made me sadge

[wheat plume]

I would hit my head on that ceiling xd

[iron wave]

I'm 6' and too fat and there's still room left.

[wheat plume]

Oh hmm

[marsh glade]

That looks like the car-personification of a midwest "Ope"

I don't mean that as a bad thing

[iron wave]

It could stand to be a little smaller but that's the only issue I have with the body.

[marsh glade]

I miss the sharp angles of yesteryear 😦

it has 4wd though so can be pretty fun in the snow

[marsh glade]

I don't even have a car

just Dutch things

[iron wave]

I want to get a boring car, slap three motors in it, make it have way too much horsepower and keep it looking stock.

[marsh glade]

Sold my old Honda Accord when I moved to NL, about two months before used car prices started their path to triple during the pandemic

[iron wave]

That always feels bad but it's not your fault.

[marsh glade]

Same with my computer... Just bad timing haha

[frozen ingot]

life here is kinda pain without a car

[marsh glade]

Sold two monster PCs for less money than it took to buy one medium PC six months later when I settled in my new place

[iron wave]

I feel partially responsible because about a month before I first heard about the virus in China I was like "it's about time for there to be another pandemic".

[frozen ingot]

sure the public transport is decent-ish, but this city is so damn mountainous there's a ton of steep long hills to traverse

so you need to be an athlete to bike around

I had to buy a new gpu in the height of the gpu famine of 2021 because my scumbag gpu at the time decided it would be a great time to give up right there and then

I'm really hoping the US HS rail stuff happens.

I really want to be able to ride trains across the country in hours instead of days.

[reef patrol]

That'll be a cold day in hell

Unfortunately.

[iron wave]

The innermost part of hell is frozen!

I'm really hoping this doesn't get messed up.

[marsh glade]

The rail line is going to go through Hell Michigan?

[iron wave]

Huh, it might be.

I find it strange how many people here don't think transportation is important but I'm really hopeful.

[marsh glade]

The only transportation network that matters in America:

[iron wave]

I can't go from where I am to Detroit with that.

[marsh glade]

Probably for the better 😛

[iron wave]

Honestly when I visit I'm probably going to go just about everywhere except for downtown Detroit.

I have a lot of places I haven't been in over a decade.

[marsh glade]

Lots of amazing places to discover in America

As long as you stay out of the cities...

I say that as someone who has been to 48 of the 50 largest cities in the US

[iron wave]

I've been to two and they are good to go for some things.

At least I think 2?

Oh wow I've been to 6.

How do you make Windows stop making the cursor disappear?

[steady sail]

WHAT

[iron wave]

I am using Windows for a coding project and the cursor occasionally just disappears.

[steady sail]

uhm

[iron wave]

That's a really stupid default.

[halcyon moss]

Oh I love it

Don't need a mouse when coding

[iron wave]

But at the same time it obsucres nothing and when you need to do stuff like interact with the internet for documentation/troubleshooting it's very useful to have one.

[wheat plume]

Rectify11 is amazing
Makes Windows actually look consistent and prettier

Adds nice animations to file explorer too

[final flame]

that's a thing, I need it

[wheat plume]

You know all the shit in windows that's still light theme?

This fixes that

https://github.com/Rectify11/Installer

[final flame]

does this only work in certain applications?

[final flame]

gross, it's not even consistent

rather would take the light mode

[inner wolf]

Hey guys, anyone know where I can find the recommended profiles for different games? I remember seeing them once on the wootility app but then I lost them

[wheat plume]

You can check out Wootabase but it's fairly outdated now iirc

Could be a good start to find a base profile to modify though

[inner wolf]

I’m pretty sure there were recommended profiles that were from wootility itself

[final flame]

okay yea, this only works in certain applications, which is odd

[final flame]

you don't even need Rectify11 for this, just use a theme patcher, afaik it'll do the same thing
and it'll be far more consistent with itself

[steady sail]

dont know

[iron wave]

Does it give us the control panel back and strip out the spyware (aggressive telemetry and "AI" garbage)?

[wheat plume]

I love Rufus
Just started burning a windows iso to it and checked all the boxes to make account login and shit not show up on the install

[iron wave]

NtLite is pretty good too.

[steep creek]

yeah rufus is great

[final flame]

dont need rufus for that, if anything it gives you less options than what you can actually do

[wheat plume]

Control panel with rectify11

[final flame]

Autounattend files is how it's done
https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/

[iron wave]

NtLite has things for that and tools to let you strip a bunch of junk out of the ISOs to make them smaller.

[final flame]

this isn't modifying the iso, it's a script that runs at the install
it's one of the first party microsoft tools for companies to create mass installable installations

[iron wave]

I mean, you can just drop the XML file into the ISO at a specific path and it'll do the same thing.

[steady sail]

maybe its me but its ugly as hell xD

[final flame]

nah it is

it's one of those classic "but dark mode is better"

[wheat plume]

Xd

[final flame]

UI design is a lot more than changing a few colors
otherwise it will look like garbage like what we see here

[steady sail]

i dont need dark mode on everything

[lyric hatch]

I'll take dark mode on everything

MacOS manages it pretty well

[iron wave]

:eternalScreaming:

[steep creek]

gotta love third party apps also following the theme

on macos, and ios i guess

[final flame]

it's because they make standard guidelines
windows has them too, they're just not implemented as often, there's quite a few apps that do have them though

[steep creek]

yep thats true. i notice some on windows but not as many as my apple devices

[wheat plume]

Linux also has a standard way to let apps access the system theme and accent color

[final flame]

twinkle tray for example, it uses mica though so it's a bit weird

a friend also sent me this mockup of what photoshop would look like if it used the windows app design guidelines

personally I find windows 11 to be far better looking than macOS, it's more refined and has less oddities

macOS has random odd choices that I can't help but think are oversights and weird inconsistencies that make no real sense

[wheat plume]

I prefer MacOS tbh

[final flame]

you're a gnome user ofc you think so

[wheat plume]

Xd

[steep creek]

lol

[wheat plume]

I also am a big fan of making the plasma desktop panel look like the MacOS top bar
Aka
Adding global menu and whatnot

[steep creek]

i really like macos too, macs in general tbh

[final flame]

Mac feels really clunky to use, especially in a professional scenario where speed is necessary

[wheat plume]

Honestly
If they start selling them with at least 16gb RAM
Id consider them great

Don't wanna have to tack on 200 to the price just to get enough RAM on my damn laptop

Nah
Once I need a new laptop I'm going to get a framework

Add 32gb ram
I already have SSD and charger
Install Fedora on it and off I go

Fedora is one of the officially supported distros on Framework laptops

[lyric hatch]

You know I was thinking surely the macbook pro base model is 16gb now

But I guess not

[wheat plume]

Nope
Still 8

And they have the audacity to have "Pro" in the name

Apple Intelligence can't even run on MacBooks with only 8gb RAM

Apple said so themselves

[steep creek]

just some features cant run

but 8gb is not enough i agree with that haha

[wheat plume]

Oh
I thought they disabled it entirely on 8gb models

[lyric hatch]

They finally added window snapping in the new MacOS

[steep creek]

i think the ai code assistant thingy was one of the excluded ones

[wheat plume]

But only half tile
No quarter

[lyric hatch]

There's quarter

[wheat plume]

Ooohhhh

Nice
Finally lol

[wheat plume]

Code assistance?

You mean when using Xcode?

[sudden imp]

That looks so much nicer

[final flame]

it is, but it has it's own flaws as far as usability goes, it's far less compact of a design

[steep creek]

[balmy vector]

if they announce a web-based software that'd be huuge

but im very much not expecting much

[rough osprey]

the Viper v3 pro mini is expected

idk about websoftware

[empty wren]

Yellow lighting and white clothes remind me of a clean room

[marsh pewter]

they won’t do that. they like money too much to give up tracking people in the background.

[balmy vector]

yeah thats why i say im not expecting much

[rough osprey]

haptic gaming cushion

interesting

[balmy vector]

they really just said "yes, you , gamer out there"

[rough osprey]

looks cool tho

[iron wave]

You get some poster board. /s

[balmy vector]

300 usd?

[rough osprey]

still expensive

[balmy vector]

wtf

[gusty kiln]

what is 300?

[balmy vector]

razer made a haptic chair cushion

[gusty kiln]

ah

[wheat plume]

🤔 Vibrating seat...interesting

[rough osprey]

😬

[wheat plume]

why are they SO EXPENSIVE????!!!!

[balmy vector]

those are just the chairs tbf

and more trying to get that office chair premium price

[wheat plume]

360 for a damn hoodie

....bruh

[balmy vector]

haptic headset lol

[steep creek]

lol pc building sim 2 supports the haptic

[balmy vector]

so if i drop a gpu ill also feel ths shame just like in real life?

[rough osprey]

includes haptic Bankaccount

[steep creek]

that was a bit funny, showing snap tap and saying "guess what, everyone is copying"

[rough osprey]

kinda true tho...

[balmy vector]

and now finally bringing to other keyboards

[vapid ruin]

When your MB cost as much as the GPU and more than the CPU

[late grove]

Please take that Razer Blade 18 and make it 2x thicker...

So that it can finally stop whining

[balmy vector]

nah, give it haptics

this is a haptics livestream

[late grove]

Did I miss any announcement btw?

I just tuned in on the Razer stream.

[frozen ingot]

well its evisu

[sudden imp]

If those are anything similar to Leap V2, it may be a good value

[balmy vector]

Haptic chair cushion, haptic headset, and snaptap to older keyboards + synapse 4

Basically not much

[late grove]

I actually had the first Razer haptic headset.

[analog sinew]

haptic buttplug?

[late grove]

It broke after a month./

[balmy vector]

Wooting make haptic switchy, we must compete with razer

[steep creek]

hmm storage on that blade laptop is a bit expensive lol

[balmy vector]

Taking notes from apple

[analog sinew]

apple inspired

[analog sinew]

🤝

[late grove]

Idk, looks like a bargain to me

[sudden imp]

Also it’s cool to see actually good chairs being produced by pc manufacturers

[steep creek]

i think they beat apple

[late grove]

Wasn't that Blade 18 with TB5 announced like half a year ago?

[balmy vector]

The fractal chair looks nice tbh

[rough patrol]

those storage chips have got to be made of solid gold and diamonds

[balmy vector]

AI!!!!

they did it!!

[steep creek]

yeah that price is absurd

[late grove]

"they have created"

That's a nice way to put...

[vapid ruin]

Only $200 diff from 2tb and 4tb?

[late grove]

The reason for those prices is because it changes other specs automatically.

mhm balanced it my ass.

[steep creek]

ohh youre right ary

[late grove]

I despise the cooling system in my Blade 17. Truly a pinnacle of stupidity.

[steep creek]

tho not everyone wants top spec, just more storage alone

[late grove]

You can always buy SSD seperately. Will be much cheaper regardless.

[steep creek]

yeah thats possible but i'd just like more storage in the laptop so i dont have to bring a portable disk around

[late grove]

Not sure how that goes against buying an SSD seperately.

I mean internal one.

[rough osprey]

we going back to these laptop coolers??

[late grove]

These coolers can help temps if they have that sealing foam pad. However this will only work if the laptop has open bottom. So that ironically, Razer laptops won't benefit from this much if at all.

[rough osprey]

uhm

[late grove]

MSI Titan will definitely like that cooling pad.

[sudden imp]

Definetly not Steelcase gesture but they seem to take what was the racing chair meta and make real chairs

[rough osprey]

give us new mouse

[late grove]

Synapse 4 is actually very good.

[balmy vector]

Mhm, much better but with my own steelcase i can pass on getting a new chair for a long time

[late grove]

I have been using it for a while.

[steep creek]

neat

[late grove]

Imagine if it's a haptic viper

600$ edition of Viper Mini Sig

[rough osprey]

making the viper mini weigh 60g

[late grove]

Wasn't Razer founded in 1999?

Then died and then resurrected in 2005.

Man Boomslang. What a piece of shit..

[rough osprey]

lol

[late grove]

Does it still have the ball for maximum misses?

I mean tbh it is a legendary mouse indeed. But it's still a very bad mouse. Which is probably why they are bringing it back as a collector's item. That thing is beyond redemption to be used as a modern product.

[sudden imp]

Who will have a video of all the products announced

[late grove]

Man this outtro song slaps

"best thermal engineers"

[balmy vector]

They should put the haptics in the boomslang, make it the most Razer product to ever razer

[late grove]

17inch laptop btw

Oh well

Time to go download Synapse 4 1.0 and see if my laptop explodes

[steep creek]

apple internals always look so nice to me

[late grove]

Area 51M cooling system. The goat.

[sudden imp]

Love apples stuff

[steep creek]

same

[late grove]

https://fxtwitter.com/weeb_head_yabai/status/1839696124484952077

Is Windows saved?

[sudden imp]

It feels like they are getting better with software stuff since the eu suit

[steep creek]

yeah usb c was pretty nice too

[sudden imp]

YES

[steep creek]

also stuff like opening up nfc

[sudden imp]

Yeah the eu suit did wonders

I hope they start doing some serious innovation soon though

[steep creek]

finally now my main bank has stated they'e going to support apple pay, and i can quit having accounts in two seperate banks just to use apple pay

[sudden imp]

I can’t wait to have a use for the wallet app

[steep creek]

oh true

[sudden imp]

I hope driver licenses for my state will be able to be in the wallet app aswell

[steep creek]

we have a seperate app for license but it'd be nice to have it in the wallet app

i'd like to have my id there though, that would be convinient

[sudden imp]

Yeah

[late grove]

I am still listening to the razer stream outtro songs...

[wheat plume]

Here's the video from Instagram

[late grove]

Asia as always gets the cool stuff

[wheat plume]

IKR

[late grove]

Not but seriously can we for a second appreciate how good Razer's music choice was this stream

[wheat plume]

The comments are all thirsting over 11-Tan

[iron wave]

11 year old vibes.

[wheat plume]

Literally yes
