ah nvm zen3

[cursive summit]

AMD sometimes makes no sense whatsoever

Whatever

[vapid tree]

Tech companies try to have decent naming schemes challenge (impossible!!)

[cursive summit]

I can only give it for Apple for actually having a normal naming scheme

Even if they are a shit company

[vapid tree]

Apple and nvidia somewhat though they're very inconsistent with the whole TI and super thing

[umbral heron]

Tie

[cursive summit]

Thanks, Steve

[steady sail]

Tie fighter

[vapid tree]

tye

[ashen spindle]

Yeah no Nvidia keeps the same name and then changes memory so it’s much slower or similar, that’s not consistent

[vapid tree]

lmaooo yeah

[ashen spindle]

Apple has a lot less products so it’s easier

[cursive summit]

Tbf GTX 16 series was a weird off-launch from RTX 20

I miss GTX branding

[frozen ingot]

member when the letters came after the numbers

those were the days

[cursive summit]

R9 290X was a good card

Though I will forever love the R9 Nano and RX 580

[digital cliff]

did amd release something new

[steady sail]

i dont remember xd

[ashen spindle]

Nothing is out before ces

But obviously leaks come through leading up to it

[cursive summit]

Soon

Jan 9th was it?

[reef patrol]

1660TI my beloved.

[cursive summit]

I dunno why people bought the 1660Ti over 2060

They launched.. at the same time did they not?

[reef patrol]

Because it was in stock -and was noticeably cheaper.

[cursive summit]

Not by much over MSRP though, like 50$

[reef patrol]

And was gone before you knew it, leaving only 1660.

[cursive summit]

Ah it's $279 over 349$, there's meaningful difference there I guess

[reef patrol]

Real life prices, in an actual store, in a time where nVidia couldn't manufacture cards to save their digital souls.

[cursive summit]

Tbf Nvidia could still do that?

Release GTX models that are cheaper with no RT cores and maybe GDDR6 instead of GDDR7

Tbf how much is an RT core even worth

[reef patrol]

Maybe in fantasy land. However in real retail getting GPUs at MSRP was not a thing at that time.

[cursive summit]

That was RDNA1 era right?

Yeah cards were pricy and in short supply

[trim crane]

yeah

[marsh glade]

The entire 20xx series was a collosal waste of money

[cedar fog]

agreed even though I bought one

atleast I got mine before they went out of stock

and priced gouged the fuck out of them

[reef patrol]

The 2080 was just barely cheap enough (without VAT) that I could get my review site to sign off on buying it for me as an alternative to actual wages. Before that I only ever had low to mid end cards.

Was a big leap from a 660TI (I think it was?) and the RX480

[cedar fog]

the 50 series is not looking cheap either

maybe Intel will save us all with more GPUs

godspeed Intel Arc

[ashen spindle]

lmao no

if they make next gen and its better it will cost more

[cedar fog]

😭 don't say that

probably though since they were selling out no?

[ashen spindle]

lmfao they are losing money on their gpu division

they have to price them low or nobody would care

[cedar fog]

I can't stand these $1250 Nvidia GPUs

[rough osprey]

why

[ashen spindle]

neither amd nor intel will make cheap cards because they want money themselves

if they make similar <300 cards it will be because its cheap for them to make them not because they want to be nice

[cedar fog]

nah I'm pretty sure they make these things out of rocks

you're just falling for their scam

one can hope Intel stays on the buying people into their ecosystem train for one more gen

[reef patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfZxOuc9Qwk

This is cool. Retro cool.

The story of how they found it is also very cool 😄

[cedar fog]

do you guys hear the whining noise from those?

everytime I'm near them I hear a very low decibel like whining noise it drives me insane

[reef patrol]

Welcome to old tube TVs.

[cedar fog]

my parents never heard it

also hear it from certain lamps

[reef patrol]

It's so high pitched that you lose the ability to hear it as you age.

[cedar fog]

the magical magnet tv's

mm used to have one with the VHS built in thingy

fun days

you ever have one of those rear projection tvs as well mansen

[reef patrol]

Naw. Biggest I've ever had was a 32" Sony ... what's the name of their high end line? And that was years after they stopped being the hot shit.

Swapped my last, salvaged CRT out for a cheap LCD in the late 2000s.

Only really use it for my Xbox.

This is my current retro setup, except the TV's in the cellar, and the consoles are on a shelf. Haven't gotten around to setting it up again after moving.

[cedar fog]

Tetris on the OG xbox and Madden omg

so many 360's

[reef patrol]

White one is one I traded my OG Xbox for way back (then got the OG Xbox back years later from the same friend, still magically booted up just barely enough to grab the hardware keys)

Unfortunately it developed RRoD like all other 360s from that factory. So I got two of the later models - but I haven't gotten around to open either up and do all of the solderwork required to hack it. Much more involved than on the OG.

I also have 4 OG Xbox'es in total. A crystal, my OG, a spare I got in a trade and one I dumpster dived that is dead (but has plastic pieces and such I could use as parts)

[distant tapir]

Thankfully only for TVs

Due to the low resolution and refresh rate

[latent mural]

Do you think wooting will make a low profile HE board one day

[vapid ruin]

mmm, making HE switches that's low profile would make it possible with current board

maybe case need to be smaller

[rough osprey]

i need iso low profile he

[latent mural]

I don’t think low profile will sell tho

[rough osprey]

gotta ask nuphy

[latent mural]

I don’t trust nuphy

Saw on reddit exploding boards

[vapid ruin]

link?

[latent mural]

Can I send link here or nah

[vapid ruin]

can

still tech, HE keyboard tech!

[latent mural]

Oh wait it’s the normal board with battery

that was exploding/ fire hazard

[vapid ruin]

in that case, HE should be fine if it doesn't have battery

[latent mural]

yea I see about it

[rough osprey]

da magnets will explode :o

[latent mural]

Wow I just check, nuphy board pricing so cheap

And available

[vapid ruin]

Just note, if you decided to get the low profile keyboard from them, it won't be compatible with other HE switch that's compatible with wooting/venom

[latent mural]

Oh yea I saw they have a normal board as well

[cursive summit]

https://anokas.substack.com/p/o3-and-arc-agi-the-unsolved-tasks

Honestly, kinda fascinating

Puzzles that are "easy for humans" that are used to rate artificial intelligence's capabilities and reasoning

Some of em are very deceptive

Like this one

It took me like 15 seconds to get the rule, but AI kinda got shafted, cause the Test given to it does not have reference material as to what happens when other colors intercross

Tbf even I'm thinking is it supposed to still account to the theoretical area or does the intercrossing cut it and isn't counted

[unkempt lake]

https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-the-top-rdna-4-gpu-radeon-9000-new-branding/

[analog sinew]

in 4 years you can get a 9070 from both amd and nvidia

[fair gull]

this is where the AI really got shit input samples.... the fact touching rectangles (not just crossed ones) are supposed to count was never provided as an input

[cursive summit]

Yes we already talked about it

[cursive summit]

Yeah they should have given AI a lot more samples

Just 3 is kinda not enough?

[tame thicket]

you talking oh 3 sweet

[fair gull]

id say at least 2 more samples showing that rectangles touching the lines between blue pixels also need to count

i literally couldnt figure out how the ground truth was true but o3's first response was wrong

[cursive summit]

Tbf it was never given more than 2 lines, so it had to extrapolate 5

Though why are you thinking its first response is wrong?

[fair gull]

because those images are all of failed tests

[cursive summit]

Well yeah but ground truth tbf imo, is wrong cause the very top square should not have lit up, it's not intersecting with the blue line

[fair gull]

thats the issue

the ai got marked wrong despite never being taught a rule

[cursive summit]

I agree with AI there

Which is funny

AI is only as good as its training data and instructions, and it wasn't given enough data, nor were the instructions clear enough here cause it wasn't given any and had to extrapolate from the little data it was given

[fair gull]

ye it was a rule completely unknown to anyone and id bet most humans given the 3 inputs would also solve it wrong

[cursive summit]

Tbf I also kinda understand why it tried to draw lines on the outer perimeter

But I doubt a human would do that?

It kinda understood the rule, but very literally

[fair gull]

idk it crossed my mind but i also noticed that all lines drawn cross the entire range from top/bottom and left/right

[cursive summit]

Tbf none of its training data had more than 1 dot on each axis so yeah

Again, fault with the data there

[fair gull]

id say you could take a guess as to drawn lines always need to be length X

but yeah the data could have been more clear

[cursive summit]

I still find this stuff fascinating

[fair gull]

i wonder if o3 could have told why it failed the test and also reasoned as to if the input data was sufficient to deduce the rules

[cursive summit]

( also to figure out if I'm dumb or not and can actually understand what the rule is from what's supposedly really easy )

The only one I gave up on is the one with the spiral cause that'd involve me thinking about geometry much and I hate spatial logic

Spatial reasoning has always been my cryptonite

[fair gull]

this one?

[unkempt lake]

https://youtu.be/vc4yL3YTwWk?si=JBE2LjVZCvjHI0S7

people be angry at honey because it takes credit for the sale of the product instead of the influencers (seemed obvious that's how it worked)

Personally the only thing i thought was stupid was them taking credit even if the thing couldn't find a discount

[cursive summit]

Oh no the one way before

[fair gull]

oh the one i posted i got no idea about

[fair gull]

late to the party i see

[fair gull]

oh yeah

[unkempt lake]

When did ya guys talk about it

[cursive summit]

I just.. really hate visualizing these in the brain and having to think about what the actual perspective has to be

[unkempt lake]

Lol

[fair gull]

i initially guess its first response but thinking again the spiral always goes up aboutit

[cursive summit]

I like.. more straight forwards stuff

[fair gull]

morning CET time

like 12

[unkempt lake]

oh

[cursive summit]

I thought the first o3 answer was actually correct though lol

[fair gull]

here

[unkempt lake]

i was asleep

shocking i sleep sometimes

[fair gull]

na it always start on the axis and side specified and then the spiral goes 2 pixels up, 2 over and so on

[cursive summit]

Yeah but that's like, too much activity, I thought these two made sense lol

[fair gull]

same when i first looked at it

but when i looked at the other inputs again i got the right pattern

[cursive summit]

Idk what this particular type of reasoning is called, I call it spatial, but yeah I really hate those "how would a 3D object look like if you rotated it a bunch of times"

[fair gull]

its 2d reasoning

[cursive summit]

I like one dimensional problems, fuck multidimensional ones

[fair gull]

spatial would be 3d

also vex is you thought its hard for you... remember the AI thinks in 1d basically

[unkempt lake]

Only website i ever used honey on was Gfuel because it generally found me the 30% affiliate coupons easily which was the most you could get on gfuel anyways, was always kinda useless on any other website never would find coupons so i just uninstalled it

[cursive summit]

Yeah but it also has a billion of available materials from forums about psychology and IQ testing and stuff to actually be able to correctly answer

I actively avoid any reasoning above 1d so, yeah

[fair gull]

time to connect to the mainframe my friend

[analog sinew]

did you buy gamergirl sock sweat 5500 or what its called

[unkempt lake]

That's gamersupps and i've mostly switched to them because they have a warehouse in canada and they have free shipping. I only ever buy gfuel if they have a buy one get one free now

[analog sinew]

ah

[unkempt lake]

I did drink anime girl thighs

[fair gull]

im glad i didnt buy into gfuel/gamersupps

having my eyes opened by european ingredients lists i dont need that shiii in me

[leaden kiln]

I did buy them but everything I tried sucks

[unkempt lake]

I don't like coffee and it's cheaper than me buying canned energy drinks

According to my calculations

[fair gull]

my main concern is all the artifical coloring and extras they have in it

[cursive summit]

Can someone tell me what's the point of the gamersupps and gfuel?

[unkempt lake]

It's a powdered energy drink

That's it

Buy in bulk save some munz

[fair gull]

its basically holy energy but more artifical stuff in it

[latent mural]

Never had tea or coffee in my life

[unkempt lake]

Tbh ingredients are the same as shit like monster

[leaden kiln]

yummy lead in the gfuel

[cursive summit]

Cause if you are from Europe, idk if they are available elsewhere , I grew up on the OG "gamer" drink

These were incredible

[latent mural]

Try voost

[fair gull]

guess what i also dont drink lol

[latent mural]

It’s cheaper ig

[leaden kiln]

I probably just bought all the wrong flavors but I didn't like any of them

[unkempt lake]

Well look I don't care if it's bad for me I need caffeine

[cursive summit]

I think I saw gamersupps said something about vitamins but.. why wouldn't I just buy a fizzy tablet

[fair gull]

i mean i get my caffeine

just without the bad lol

[cursive summit]

And some supplements?

[unkempt lake]

Every energy drink out there has vitamin b12 and crap added to it

[cursive summit]

I don't get the appeal with some weird soluble drinks in a tub

[unkempt lake]

And taurine

[unkempt lake]

Do you get the appeal of weird drinks in a can

[fair gull]

although i also stopped taking in excessive caffeine and just went the all natural tea route

[cursive summit]

I might be of the wrong generation anyways cause I don't get the appeal of energy drinks either

[unkempt lake]

Any form of caffeine is bad for you xD

[fair gull]

no excessive caffeine is

[cursive summit]

All natural black tea

[unkempt lake]

How old are you?

[fair gull]

28

[leaden kiln]

The tub drinks also just taste like chalk

[cursive summit]

Younger than Tony

[unkempt lake]

I'm 27

[cursive summit]

Why are you people so ancient

[fair gull]

dw i dont get the woo around the american powdered drinks either

[cursive summit]

But yeah I've always said I was born in 2000

The (turn of) millennium kid

[unkempt lake]

Just like nico

[cursive summit]

You ever buy those fizzy tablets from pharmacies in your youngun years?

I kinda miss them, I wonder if they are worth checking out

Seemed like children bait back then but now I'm thinking did they even do anything good

[unkempt lake]

Also look i used to stock up on sugar free monster to keep me going

[fair gull]

you can still get those here in NL

[unkempt lake]

Shit's expensive if i can get my caffeine but have it cheaper

I'll get it cheaper

[cursive summit]

Tony weren't you.. German?

You moved I guess?

[fair gull]

i moved like 2 years ago

[cursive summit]

Ah, splendid

[fair gull]

also today im enjoying some nice sour cherry drink and a black tea, peach, nectarine one

[leaden kiln]

sugar free drinks are just always so much worse, maybe that's my problems with powder ones, at least some of the cans have sugar

[cursive summit]

Tbf I am just addicted to sugar free pepsi

And black tea

[unkempt lake]

Sugar free drinks taste better imo

[cursive summit]

Hey if it's sugar free it just goes in and out with no residue leftover innit?

[unkempt lake]

Real sugar tastes too sweet

[cursive summit]

No gain no harm just taste

[fair gull]

next time i wanna try these 2. supposedly also very tasty

[unkempt lake]

gamer tea

[fair gull]

well i already found my favs from their hydration line which are sour cherry and lemon

my gfs mom really likes the strawberry X kiwi they have

[cursive summit]

I dunno if you can find it internationally, but I am in absolute love with this particular brand

[leaden kiln]

I bought hatsune miku g fuel and it was so worth it(it also doesn't taste any good at all)

[cursive summit]

They make incredible tasting tea

[fair gull]

oh god dont give me flashbacks from tea arguments with my gf

for her its loose leaf or bust

[cursive summit]

Well yeah but I have a tea strainer so, it works out

[unkempt lake]

nico drinks tea

[fair gull]

i wish we only had 1 strainer

lol

[cursive summit]

Tbf a lot of people swear for unground coffee beans as well

[unkempt lake]

warm drinks are disgusting

[cursive summit]

The fresher the better or something

[unkempt lake]

i dont understand how you guys can drink warm drinks

[cursive summit]

Idk, I just drink what's good and I like the leaves, though they do take like 5 mins to just sit there

[cursive summit]

I hate hot, I like warm

But cold is just as good

[topaz fog]

i also generally dislike warm drinks..

apart from warm chocomel :D

[cursive summit]

Are you drinking lukewarm or actually warm?

[unkempt lake]

cold chocolate is better

[cursive summit]

Cause lukewarm anything is kinda iffy

[fair gull]

ok but prebagged tea contains loose leaves as well. so i dont get her preference

[cursive summit]

Fair deuces, that's true

Idk I just found that Impra tastes good lol, and idk if they have bagged options, I haven't seen any

[glass stag]

Hot choccy milk with whipped cream on top

[unkempt lake]

No

[cursive summit]

Where's the tiny marshmellows?

You better add a handful of tiny marshmellows in that shit

[fair gull]

i also prefer my chocolate bars cold

[glass stag]

I'm not American, I don't need the extra sugar bombs

[unkempt lake]

it does give them a nice snap

[fair gull]

ye my teeth always snap

[unkempt lake]

But i'm not much of a choccy fan

[glass stag]

I bet you put Nutella in the fridge

[cursive summit]

God is it one of those american - british english things or am I wrong in writing it as marshmellow

I thought it was fine with a or e in mellow

[unkempt lake]

Marshmallows

[balmy vector]

Marshmallows

[cursive summit]

Yeah I'm tweaking then

[fair gull]

nope nutella belongs free range OR in a slightly sunny wincow so it gets slightly flowy to dip bananas into

[glass stag]

No clue, in my mind it's "skumfidus" which literally translates to "foam thingy"

[unkempt lake]

lego people and their funny words

[cursive summit]

Tbf if you've never had a cup of cocoa with some marshmallows inside of it just melting away, it's kinda amazing

[fair gull]

i never had marshmallows

[cursive summit]

Been a few years though, too much sugar

[unkempt lake]

Its warm liquid im not interested

[leaden kiln]

the marshmallows don't improve the drink

[unkempt lake]

WHAT

[balmy vector]

Agreed, warm Nutella is better

[unkempt lake]

HOLD UP

[cursive summit]

We are europeans tbf, we don't do marshmallows

[unkempt lake]

not even when going camping?

[cursive summit]

What's camping?

We don't do camping in Europe

[unkempt lake]

boring

BORING

[fair gull]

we eat stick bread at best

[cursive summit]

STICK BREAD IS GOATED

Tony gets it

[unkempt lake]

what do you mean stick bread

[cursive summit]

That's the european way

[unkempt lake]

Like... a baguette?

[fair gull]

you put dough on a branch of a tree and hold it next/into a fire

[unkempt lake]

That's a stick of bread

[fair gull]

stick bread

[unkempt lake]

what the fuck lol

[balmy vector]

Interesting

[vapid tree]

this is peak eu camping

that's about it

[glass stag]

I've camped in Denmark

Marshmallows over the campfire is neat

[cursive summit]

Not what I've had in mind tbf

[fair gull]

oh thats how we make stickbread in germany

[unkempt lake]

That's just... sad

[balmy vector]

I learn more about the EU culture the longer i stay here

[fair gull]

in germany you get atickbread or the grill gets started for bbq

[glass stag]

Did that as a scout, dipped in ketchup

[vapid tree]

yum

[cursive summit]

Tbf I took it literally, baked bread sticks

These are very popular here, I suppose also elsewhere

[vapid tree]

somewhat yeah :(

[fair gull]

someone knows whats good

[glass stag]

Nostalgia image right there

[vapid tree]

[fair gull]

although the image is full of weaklings... shaving the tip where the bread attaches

[cursive summit]

Does no one else do just.. baked bread sticks coated with mayo and cheese?

Sad

[vapid tree]

IKR

[unkempt lake]

Is rudimentary cooking jn the woods considered a form of technology

[glass stag]

@unkempt lake is having a hard time wrapping her mind around what stickbread is lmao

[unkempt lake]

Cheesy garlic bread

Owo

[cursive summit]

Remove the garlic and I'll agree

I like garlic, but not with bread, it ruins the texture

[unkempt lake]

Cheese bread in general

[fair gull]

you see i noticed were not in #💬│general but i also didnt wanna ruin the flow of the convo

[unkempt lake]

Pog

Handhelds go brrr

[cursive summit]

These will likely not be in handhelds

[analog sinew]

who is that

[cursive summit]

I mean, it should be possible to put them in one with some crazy engineering

[cursive summit]

Unless that's your alt, someone that's been in this server since at least 2020

That's the 8050S with 32CUs too, so the 40CU 8060S is even more strong than RX 7600 eh

I really hope that it does as good as 7700 XT, that'd be insane iGPU performance

They really should stuff this stuff into a box and sell it as an insane gaming minibox, and I hope Valve will

[unkempt lake]

Steam machines already failed once

We don't need a repeat

[cursive summit]

Are you not seeing what's happening with the Steam Deck?

[unkempt lake]

Not the same

[cursive summit]

Sure if it's basically a PC, there's a price limit to what someone would pay for that kind of product

But considering Valve branding, SteamOS, the power of that chip, if it's... within 700$? It's a great value purchase

32 gigs, 40CUs, 16 core CPU is kinda insane for an affordable mini-PC price, I hope Strix Halo is actually affordable though

[ashen spindle]

I dont expect it in below 1k laptops

[cursive summit]

Below 1k laptops is one thing, a mini-PC is a whole another imo

Like if it's at the very most 800$ for 40CU config and 600-700 for 32CUs, it's a great buy

[ashen spindle]

no I mean thats the cheapest I expect it anywhere

[cursive summit]

Eh the screen costs a bit

I dunno, I hope that the 32CUs are enough to be as powerful as the B580

[gusty kiln]

Ai 370 mini pc are 900 minimum

These are really 1200+ mini pc if anyone actually makes them

[pulsar coral]

what is the best mouse for gaming (i play comp fortnite)

[cursive summit]

You already asked that yesterday did you not

Anyways it's the OP1 8K imo, affordable and pretty good

[marsh pewter]

depends on what shape you want

[unkempt lake]

whatever shape you want that works for your grip

that's the main thing

[pulsar coral]

i was asking about monitor

[marsh pewter]

I’d recommend the maya x, sora v2, and op1 8k

[latent mural]

Shape is king

[unkempt lake]

I like the G303SE but a lot of people hate it xD

[latent mural]

I prefer my 150gram mouse than 58gram

[marsh pewter]

but pretty much every mouse these days performs the same

[cursive summit]

Yeah you mentioned fortnite last time and I thought it was about a mouse cause someone asked about a mouse yesterday I think

[analog sinew]

fortnite

[cursive summit]

Indeed, there's virtually no difference unlike in keyboards

[latent mural]

also what’s your grip style

[marsh pewter]

skibidi toilet

[cursive summit]

I, kindly, hope you perish

Don't bring brainrot to this discord server, please

[marsh pewter]

that’s a bit extreme

[cursive summit]

Deserved though

[leaden kiln]

it will be peak when we can have Miku skin wearing skibidi toilet back bling

[marsh pewter]

don’t disgrace miku like that

she doesn’t deserve that

[leaden kiln]

I'm not rich enough in v bucks to buy both

[balmy vector]

You’re right, im putting miku in the snowman shoes

[distant tapir]

I find Skibidi toilet funny. Don't understand the hate

[cursive summit]

It would be cool if you could use the halleffect technology in the wooting keyboards for music software like Logic Pro X visa v the velocity of pressing keys for E.g. for a piano. I know it's an Apple related thing as I know this concept is already excercised in the keyboard but I just had that thought

ooooo

any ides of key caps that help show the layers for the 60% key board?? EX. f1 f2

[fair gull]

or some company doing custom keycaps

[ashen spindle]

Yeah it’s misses lots of things like TCO, failure rate or that rocm is focused on what people use the most and there it’s quite fine like on inference. In generals that site is uhhh one of the ones I in general don’t trust a lot lol

[proper warren]

Equally though, not focussing enough on the software side is a problem with AMD in both consumer and enterprise.

Bugs being a common one, some still existing since release in Adrenaline edition. AMD's TPM chips still causes issues with device provisioning tools like Autopilot and just generally failing to provide attestation. But also some other general stuff like AMD APUs not supporting graphics virtualisation.

None of them are massive things, just stuff I've come across in my work, but they're just annoying when a competitor just works. Which is why imo AMD is failing to make inroads into the laptop space despite Intel struggling, and why the uptake of AMD hardware in enterprise settings isn't what you would expect.

[ashen spindle]

Those things aren’t really related just because they are all software

They are very much focusing on the software side and rocm has made massive progress, the fact it’s not on consumers is because that’s lower priority to get working

You just can’t get decades of work done the same easy in a few months the same way.

[proper warren]

Intel has done it for years with GVTg and SR-IOV.

Literally since Broadwell.

That was 2014.

[ashen spindle]

There are also big projects like Triton to use an open kernel and others to make the big installs work well enough that you have meta on state saying mi300 was the fates they ever went from getting to deploying and running

Which given that mi300 is like the first instinct sold to that direction and market is massive

250 and earlier was still mostly focused on supercomputing and hpc over datacenters for anything

[proper warren]

Firefox has been jank a while for me now.

Unsure why.

Don't get the same issue in anything chromium based.

If I put Firefox on my second monitor and do something else on my primary it just dies.

[sharp badger]

Youtube is damn slow on Firefox too, might be the adblock though

[proper warren]

I used brave for a while until the entire donation thing.

So went back to Firefox. And now it's running poorly.

You could donate to people who would never accept the money, meaning they would take it (although they claimed it would be put in a centralised pool). Also suspicious GDPR stuff of collecting data on potential recipients of donations who had never given consent.

[reef patrol]

Brave does the one thing I need it to do. Block ads competently. Or rather - allowing extensions to do so.

[proper warren]

That is true. It was definitely the most seamless ad blocking experience I've ever used.

[reef patrol]

I haven't been held to a gunpoint over anything like that.

It's basically Chrome, without the easy access to my google stuff like photos.

[proper warren]

But between the donation thing and embedding their own affiliate links in websites when you go to pay...

Was enough to make me stop using it.

[lyric hatch]

well not like mozilla is perfect either especially recently

[reef patrol]

ngl they have to do a lot of REAL bad shit towards me specifically, for me to abandon adblocking 😄

[proper warren]

This is the thing. Who else do I use with Firefox being shit atm?

I didn't care much for Librewolf.

Might just suck it up and go back to Brave tbh. Might be a bit shitty, but at least it works and they're less shitty than others.

Nah imma install chrome. Bend over for Daddy Google and embrace my data being stripped from me.

[lyric hatch]

well firefox makes 80% of their revenue from google so either way 🤷‍♂️

[proper warren]

We love big daddy Google.

[cursive summit]

https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-gpu-benchmarked-time-spy-better-performance-rx-7900-gre/amp/

And this is the lower tier card I presume, below 9080XT?

Could be an interesting card if it brings value and efficiency to the table, at the very most 500$ and maybe 150W?

[crimson wigeon]

That naming though whyyyyyy is it to be more like the competition (so more confusion)

[cursive summit]

Tbf GRE is 260 W by AMD's measurements so.. I hope 200W is doable for them

I can already buy a GRE for 540 right now, so unless it's 500 I don't see the point

I see no reason FSR 4 wouldn't also launch on RDNA3 cards, they have all the same tech of RDNA4

I dunno, I am slowly realizing RDNA4 might not be as good of an offer as I hope it might be

[undone sun]

Wsp does anyone know if the software is also accessible if I play on xbox bc I want to get one but not being able to change the settings would be bad

[cursive summit]

Ah so they finally figured out the ad https://x.com/VideoCardz/status/1870884512256741785

VideoCardz.com (@VideoCardz) on X

Confirmed it was AMD who posted the render

Twitter · Dec 22, 2024, 5:30 PM

I swear I've seen that fuckin ad

[cursive summit]

Tweak settings on PC and they'll be saved in the keyboard and hopefully work with your Xbox

Wootility to my knowledge, not even the web version, would work on your Xbox, it runs some castrated version of Edge

[oblique solstice]

just to report guys, turn of rebar for bo6

it doesnt work it kills ur fps

[undone sun]

So if I got that right I should be able to use my laptop to chamge the settings and can then play with them on my xbox

[cursive summit]

I think you will be fine, yes

Most of the settings are just flushed onto the controller in the keyboard so, I doubt they'll not work if you connect the keeb elsewhere

But mouse and keyboard on consoles in general is a whole another issue

[undone sun]

Aight thanks but what did you mean by it not being able to change in edge shouldnt that be possible as well

[cursive summit]

I said I doubt Wootility web would work with your Xbox

It'll work fine on your laptop

[undone sun]

Yeah it okay I used m+k for quote some time now and it worked just fine but now that Im changing to a wireless mouse Im excited to see whats gonna happen

[cursive summit]

Xbox's web browser is a bizarre minimal version of Edge, I tried using it and it was weird

[undone sun]

thxxx

Ok thank you so much for the help😎

[cursive summit]

Iirc Wootility Web utilizes WebUSB API for its functions and I really doubt it works on the Xbox lol

But that shouldn't be a problem if you connect your keeb to laptop, access wootility, tweak settings, save to keyboard, and connect to Xbox and it should hopefully work with SOCD, Rapid Trigger, actuation points, etc

[stiff badge]

Guys, do you use this mode ? and is it really helpfull ?

[undone sun]

fingers crossed ig😭🙏

[cursive summit]

On by default here

The theoretical difference is pretty big with tachyon on and off so I just turned it on cause fuck RGB

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-tipped-to-launch-alongside-fsr4-and-ryzen-9000x3d-in-late-january

@ashen spindle Chances AMD combines FSR2 and FSR3 together?

For "mega gains" or someshit like that

They are already doing that technically with HYPER-RX, and AFMF2 is a "works on everything" type of tech

[stiff badge]

hell yeahh fuck rgb !! also tyy, will turn it on when i receive my module !

[ashen spindle]

What is that even supposed to mean

[cursive summit]

AI upscaling and frame gen in one package

A one-click solution, like with HYPR-RX

If AMD just claims that it "looks like native and gives you 100% more FPS" then idk, could be an interesting tech?

[distant tapir]

Chances of them to combine E = mc² + AI?

[ashen spindle]

That’s just how shit already gets marketed? Upscaling and frame gen at once

[cursive summit]

Yeah but AMD prolly will just combo them into FSR4

Meh, we'll see

[ashen spindle]

Wouldn’t make sense because it’s different stuff and not everyone wants both at the same time

[cursive summit]

I think it does make sense if AMD markets it as "as good as normal picture, except 2x faster"

With upscaling, it's not impossible to get an image as good as native especially with some machine prediction and sharpening added, as well as perf gains

Slap on frame gen on top with some neural prediction, however DLSS3 works, and it's "just as good as vanilla, except 100% faster"

[distant tapir]

What case is this? Looks cool. Don't recognise the brand

[cursive summit]

Silverstone Fortress FT01

Good brand, very ancient

[distant tapir]

Ah, thanks! So it's unobtainable then, Rip

[cursive summit]

There's defo no reason to go for that case, it's nearly 20 years old

Silverstone still makes similar cases

https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Fortress-Aluminum-FTZ01B/dp/B00WENHTC8
https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Capability-Versatility-SST-SED1-B/dp/B0BW37V4K6

[cursive summit]

Nah, no thanks

[distant tapir]

The Fortress Z looks kinda cool

[cursive summit]

Mini-ITX, it's a small case, lots of constrictions on what you can put in there I think

Likely will unsupport 4 slot cards, some 3 slots might not fit, no tower coolers, PSUs might need to be smaller, mATX at best, no full ATX (some do support full ATX but it's rare)

I like ITX but it's a pitfall

Damn I've never heard of this case, seems to have been released this year https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Modular-Workstation-SST-ALD1B/dp/B0DJQ73NM8

All metal and mesh, incredible... but also costs 800$

Seems to be tailored to.. gun owners or someshit?

Looks very rigid like a safe

[fair gull]

i mean the specific one you posted has 5.25" slots for disk drives so yes its unobtainable

[cursive summit]

It's from 2008 isn't that prior to SATA too?

PCI and PATA prolly?

[fair gull]

depends on the pc. sata was a thing back then

[reef patrol]

What does that matter?

Both PATA and SATA use the same physical dimensions for the drives.

[cursive summit]

Were they backwards compatible?

That's way before my era

Well, yeah

[reef patrol]

Weren't we talking about drive slots?

[cursive summit]

Tbf I don't think I've ever seen a 5.25" drive, so I asked if they were backwards compatible

[reef patrol]

You've... you've never had a DVD drive? Man you're younger than I thought 😄

[cursive summit]

I think most I've seen 3.5

[cursive summit]

Those were 5.25? I guess I have then

[reef patrol]

Sure are 😄

[cursive summit]

I don't think I've seen a 5.25 hard drive

[reef patrol]

Never in a live machine, but I've held a couple. Heavy fuckers. Same mounting points as a DVD drive and any case that'd support those.

[cursive summit]

Tbf is it the 3.5 or the 5.25 that came first

Tech tends to shrink so guessing 5.25

Or was it 3.5, they got blocked by some technological barrier, had to size up to 5.25 and downsized to 3.5 after

[vagrant pagoda]

https://youtu.be/JfZxOuc9Qwk?si=aUc-Dq0vsXOR8AoL

[reef patrol]

Oi. I already posted about that yesterday

[cedar fog]

nah they must have found a larger one

[charred nexus]

Guys I found something in the bin

I wonder will yall recognize this

[reef patrol]

Not a clue what format that is tbh

[charred nexus]

This thing is so short lived I don’t think most people would know what is that

[vagrant pagoda]

The og consumer flash card

[alpine patio]

camera memory card?

[frozen ingot]

smartmedia

I got one of those too

128mb is pretty large for that format

[vagrant pagoda]

I hated those things

[frozen ingot]

I have an obscure 90s sampler that uses it

[vagrant pagoda]

128 was the max

There are adapters to use other cards but they cap out at 128

[frozen ingot]

mine is 16mb

[charred nexus]

I have one 16MB that one of my camera

I still have that camera

But the one that can use the 128MB is gone

[alpine patio]

oh ya speaking on cameras

[vagrant pagoda]

The only cool thing was the floppy adatper

[alpine patio]

i gunna buy a hybrid camera soon

[charred nexus]

Yeah, iirc it was pitched as a floppy replacement

Since it’s solid state

[vagrant pagoda]

It needed fancy drivers and was slow af

An there were tons of replacements for floppyies

[charred nexus]

I mean there’s tons of replacement for this thing on consumer cameras too just a few years later

So this thing fell off real fast

[alpine patio]

which colour?

[charred nexus]

Left

[frozen ingot]

to make matters worse there's two versions of smartmedia and some devices only support one of them

I swear things were a fuckin wild west in the pre-usb days

[alpine patio]

damn really?

[frozen ingot]

you used printer/parallel or serial cables to connect stuff like cameras or mp3 players

[charred nexus]

Yeah I like gold-ish bronze-ish things

[charred nexus]

Also the funniest thing is these cards for cameras only support their own cameras

[charred nexus]

FireWire

But I think FireWire is younger than usb tho

[frozen ingot]

its way older

or well, the og format it uses is

its commercial use is about as old as usb 1.0

[charred nexus]

It was? Idk I don’t use FireWire

[frozen ingot]

developed since the 80s but was first finalized for commercial use in 95

[charred nexus]

Anyway look at them cards

[frozen ingot]

but people didn't get em hands on it until usb was out anyways so

[charred nexus]

Hmm but wasn’t usb and FireWire released around the same time

[charred nexus]

Yeah that’s what I thought

[frozen ingot]

compactflash is still used in some professional equipment

my first mp3 player used cf cards

[reef patrol]

And highly sought after for retro.

They are IDE drives and great for old PCs using simple adaptor cards.

[frozen ingot]

you can still buy CF cards new tho?

[charred nexus]

CF? I don’t think so? CFE yes

[frozen ingot]

yeah they're much larger now ofc

[charred nexus]

This is a CFExpress type a next to a CF Type II

[frozen ingot]

yeah am not familiar with the left one

[charred nexus]

It’s fine if you’re not into cameras prob would not see that in anything

[frozen ingot]

yeah haven't been in some time so its probably too recent for me

[charred nexus]

The funny thing is it use NVMe

[reef patrol]

Exactly.

New ones, that aren't compatible with old hardware directly.
The benefit of these, old CF cards is that they're era appropriate and appear as a genuine IDE drive much more easily than using various emulation adaptors - which in some cases can cause issues.

[charred nexus]

I never touch CF Cards outside of cameras lol

[slow trench]

Installing geon raw switches 🙂

[frozen ingot]

I used them for mp3 players, cameras and samplers

[charred nexus]

But ain’t CF Cards lacks high speed ATA? So they are slower?

[frozen ingot]

fast enough for streaming multiple tracks of audio

[reef patrol]

You don't exactly need SSD speeds for a PC that would never see 128MB of storage in the first place 😄

[frozen ingot]

yeah doesn't take much to catch up with 90s IDE drives

[charred nexus]

yeah you’re right lmao

[astral haven]

compactflash is ide
cfast is sata
compactflashexpress is pcie

[trim crane]

RAW on RAW

[charred nexus]

IDE is still part of the ATA standard tho

[astral haven]

yea but not the sata standard

ide is pata

[charred nexus]

I didn’t say it’s sata

[slow trench]

Yes 🙂 the lekker v2 was very nice but wanted to try the geon raw too

[charred nexus]

Oh god the auto correct is fumbling

[distant tapir]

Wdym?

Do you just mean that they don't produce it anymore?

[trim crane]

Raw HE switches are built different

[charred nexus]

It’s yummy

[trim crane]

I use the 50g switches

[charred nexus]

I ate half the bowl

[vapid ruin]

mmm, milky

[cedar fog]

Pilk?

[magic minnow]

A moment of silence for the people who took an L and got Raws instead of the Pros

[charred nexus]

[trim crane]

i prefer the Raws because of the 3.4mm travel, semi closed bottom, and the non tinted RGB

the 3.5 vs 3.4 is a small difference but most of the time i was using speed silver switches which were 3.4mm

[cedar fog]

mm maybe I will get the raws

i also used to use speed silvers

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-the-way-this-is-the-way-mandalorian-mandalorian-i-have-spoken-baby-yoda-gif-24159898

Raw²

[charred nexus]

I got the Heat Treated scissors

[steep creek]

Ohh those look nice

Great setup overall

[charred nexus]

Wdym great setup

[unkempt lake]

There will be no 80xt

[cursive summit]

Yes there will not be

[unkempt lake]

70xt will be the highest end we'll get

[cursive summit]

And that annoys me

I was hoping for performance between XT <-> XTX and now we are talking just a tiny bit better than GRE

Again, that benchmark isn't that great but, it tells a story I don't want to hear

[unkempt lake]

Was too optimistic

[cursive summit]

That's what certain rumours were saying

And those rumours made perfect sense

GRE performance though is just more realistic

[unkempt lake]

No

[cursive summit]

I mean, if they give us GRE performance tier for like.. 300$?

Akin to RX 5700 XT, then I'll be happy

[unkempt lake]

Amd rumors always were too optimistic

Always gotta tone it down

[cursive summit]

But if it's 500$ or more, I'll just say meh

Tell me something I don't know

[unkempt lake]

Sadly I don't think it will be 300$

[cursive summit]

Tell me something I don't know

I hope for 300$, I hope for XT/XTX performance, it's not going to happen, AMD has been dropping the ball hard

[unkempt lake]

sorry

[cursive summit]

It'd be perfect if they did

[steady sail]

8800xt would go for 500$ maybe 550$
8700xt for 400$ maybe 450$
8600,8600XT 300$-350$

kinda my take on AMD GPU prices

[cursive summit]

I mean, it's doable, GRE is iirc a far smaller die so cheaper to manufacture than the B580

And how much does the B580 cost?

[ashen spindle]

lmao not even close

[unkempt lake]

I don't think intel has big margins on the b580

[cursive summit]

I dunno, I just remember the great value of RDNA1, and I want them to end the RDNA generation with a bang

[ashen spindle]

the gcd alone is bigger than b580 let alone the mcds

[cursive summit]

I sincerely doubt that? The GRE uses like a mini version of the Navi 31 processor

And you are right, fuck

It's over double on TPU

Jesus christ how are Nvidia dies so tiny

[ashen spindle]

tiny???

[steady sail]

thats not tiny at all

[cursive summit]

Assuming it's scaled properly, it's tiny in comparison to AMD

[ashen spindle]

why would you look at random resolution pictures

just look at the die size if you are already on techpowerup

[analog sinew]

vex :p

[cursive summit]

Tbf you are the one who tells us not to blindly trust TPU numbers

I remember looking at those die shots like year ago and went to find those instead if they are 1:1 scale

[ashen spindle]

yes dont blindly trust but just look at multiple and its likely accurate enough

also die size is the more easily correct ones since thats something someone needs to manually find out

[steady sail]

4090 609 mm²
3090 Ti 628 mm²
7900 GRE 529 mm²
7900XTX 529 mm²

[ashen spindle]

also keep in mind MCD dies are on older notes so less dense, if you would normalize it for one node they would be even smaller

also 2080ti was almost reticle size with like 750mm²

[astral haven]

well not nescessarily, you only guaranteed lose the interconnect size, most of the mcd are io and memory which didnt change much

[ashen spindle]

sram scaling is still not completely 0 so in the hypothetical where you look at just die sitze it would be a bit smaller

[astral haven]

true

[ocean jackal]

Can somebody recommend me a good headset

With very good audio in a budget of 200 dollars

[cursive summit]

Audeze Maxwell is sadly not within that price range

Eh, Sennheiser Momentum 4 is pretty okay for wireless

I'd always suggest just buying a good set of cans and a microphone separately, you can get K702s for like 130 and then a decent mic for like idk 20$, I think that's how much that yeti mic that is popular costs

For audio quality, you will want to go with "normal" headphones with decent sized dynamic drivers or planars probably

Isn't the Edition XS nowadays like 200$?

If you can cop the XS, that's like near end-game headphones

For example, this https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/he5xx-openbox.html and a https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Yeti-USB-Microphone-Midnight/dp/B07SYKM6NJ

But I'd still prolly go with the XS which are like 230$ as they are easily incredible value and as long as they hold up for you, you'll never need anything more

[leaden kiln]

he400se from hifiman should also be a good set if you need to fit a mic in the $200 budget

[cursive summit]

Iirc Deva Pro has an incredibly good mic

[gusty kiln]

just get a pc38x

[cursive summit]

Yeah but that's like, boring? And not planar

[gusty kiln]

rather not gamble on hifiman qc

[cursive summit]

At that point just go with 6XX and some cheap mic

[gusty kiln]

only if they are in the US

[cursive summit]

They said dollars so, I assume yes

Unless canuck or aussie at which point, rip

[gusty nexus]

Sennheiser pc38x for a headset but I would recommend buying the Fiio FT1 (150 dollar headphone) and a 50 dollar mic (Fifine AM8)

[cursive summit]

Ehh.. 60mm dynamic drivers?

Ah they are brand new, no wonder I've not heard of em

[gusty nexus]

Yes, what's the problem ?
Fiio FT1 is an amazing value, I'm currently using it 😅

[cursive summit]

Oh lawd it's bassy

That's a wee too much bass

Overall, the FT1 offers a pleasing, easy-to-listen tuning, with powerful bass
You mean powerful distortion?

[gusty nexus]

Not for consumer and it's not muddy

[cursive summit]

Bass is distortion and I want barely any of it

[leaden kiln]

were you the one asking for headphone recommendations

[cursive summit]

Sorry, I am too busy to respond due to not caring

[gusty kiln]

lmao immediately cop out

[gusty nexus]

Not every planar is good, not every dynamic is bad, I love planar but every headphone tech is very good and has his strenght/weakness
Also he was asking for a headset so he probably want a new headphone for gaming which the pc38x is very good at

[cursive summit]

I don't see why they'd mention audio quality then, and yes I use dynamic drivers, and planars typically provide a better sound experience

If you want audio quality there's a few open back dynamics that have great everything, not so much closed back

And planars just give audio quality regardless

For less than 200$, I'd maximize audio quality (as they asked for) with a planar, hence Edition XS

[thick elk]

Thing is too much base, pretty easy to eq either way, besides that they are pretty much great on all front.

[astral haven]

different people have different sound preferences, 38x is a pretty solid one, and if you dont mind inears, iems are super meta right now, and you can get an inline mic easily

[ocean jackal]

Sorry i just read lol

[ocean jackal]

I don’t care about the mic as much mostly sound quality

[astral haven]

if you want the best sound quality for the price, it depends on your preferences
if you want airy wide, get headphones, if you want accurate and noise isolation, get iems

and if you want something all in 1 get a headset like the 38x

[ocean jackal]

Anyone have a mid size am5 socket high performance motherboard in a 300 dollar budget

[rain jewel]

id this what dpi is?

like more dpi the less snappier?

and less dpi more snappier and inconsistent?

people keep saying its the sensitivity and im very confused

[mild dome]

DPI is usually used to measure how fast the cursor moves in relation to the mouse's physical movement
So more DPI = faster cursor

If you are using a cheap mouse, or an uneven mousematt this could cause skipping either because the polling rate (how often the mouse updates the on its movement), sensor has a low resolution, or the an uneven surface preventing accurate reporting.

For FPS games it's often best to make the cursor movement as slow as possible as to allow highly precise movements (as in, small mouse movements means the cursor moves a tiny amount)

For reference the best players tend to use between 400-800 for the precision

[gusty kiln]

funny how everyone is so fixated on 4K/8K polling while some of the best players in the world can't even saturate it.

[rain jewel]

so its litterally sensitivity?

it confuses me why its such a big fuss when you can just do it in cursor settings

This is the mouse and pad combo

[mild dome]

In theory higher DPS mice even when operating a lower "DPI" have more precision

Also if you haven't already, disable mouse acceleration

[rain jewel]

so basicslly stop caring about dpi so much

[rain jewel]

yeah i have

and yes i know i should still care about dpi

[mild dome]

Something you might notice about the pro players, is that they love lightweight mouse. So if you want to play like a pro a superlight mouse can helpout, as it's easier to move. Even going from 120g to 60g can be a game changer

This is is if you care about playing on the bleeding edge. If your mouse is doing fine, then you are probably good to keep playing as is

[rain jewel]

Im going from this to an attack shark x3 and a bettrr mouse pad

[mild dome]

Never used an attack shark myself, but looks like you shouldn't ever need to worry

Idk where to put it under

[ionic marsh]

Hi everyone, I just got a Wooting 60HE+ keyboard, and it worked fine when I first plugged it in. However, after attempting a firmware update, the RGB turned off, and the keyboard became unresponsive. I tried following the reset steps in Wootility (holding the top-right and bottom-right keys while plugging it in), but it didn’t fix the issue. The update process showed an error: "Timed out waiting for a response from the device." And also says the issue is unknown. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

[digital cliff]

because what the other person said is almost disinformation, DPI is not "sensitivity" but rather how many distinct movements/points the sensor can track in a given amount of travel

so 400 dots per inch means the smallest movement it can track is 1/400th of an inch

that's why you see that snapping in your video, if you turned the DPI up and sensitivity in-game lower to keep the relative "speed" of the cursor the same, you will find it can track smaller and smaller movements

[sonic oyster]

bro please invest into a mouse and mouse pad

[digital cliff]

say the mouse was able to read 8000 dpi, then the smallest movement it can translate is 1/8000th of an inch, a much smaller distance than 1/400th, making it more precise and less "snappy" in those smaller movements

[fair gull]

is it? also dont people just make videos about literally everything

[magic minnow]

Honestly at this point I don’t even know what’s real anymore

[fair gull]

i mean really hard to go Settings -> Subscriptions -> Click cancel

very hidden

ngl i had more issues cancelling my free prime trial

[magic minnow]

Ohhh the Amazon prime is sneaky lol

With the double and sometimes triple confirmation

[lofty pivot]

at this stage a large amount of people get their opinions based on whatever youtube channels they watch tell them to think

which is a bit terrifying

[magic minnow]

People that watch Moist Critical

[lofty pivot]

even with the video essay videos, a lot of people don't really look into the nuance of half the information they get. There's been so many informational videos i've seen where the conclusion doesn't necessarily match the evidence given and the presenter will just conclude something that was never proven lol

[magic minnow]

You do see a lot of people jump the gun at times for sure, spread misinformation and then not apologize on it.

[lofty pivot]

it's cause it doesn't matter to them and people watch anyway. Like that jake tran guy who makes millions a year from his video essay channel and just copy pastes other popular videos he saw

they just in it to make a quick buck and have realize if they never address any controversy then it never matters

[unkempt lake]

i checked... takes 4 clicks

[fair gull]

ok how hard to find was it

[unkempt lake]

nitro - manage plan - cancel - are you sure yes no

took me less than 15 seconds

people are just stupid and dont know how to read

could have saved a click if i had went on subscriptions instead of nitro

[fair gull]

hm ok the only odd thing i can see is you cant cancel/edit your sub in the android app

possibly ios as well

[unkempt lake]

I was on my pc

Let me see how it is on ios

[fair gull]

i even typoed.... meant to type cant

[unkempt lake]

Same on ios, probably because i subbed on my pc

And like ios purchases go through the app store's subscription feature

[fair gull]

i also imagine its due to payment thing as in not using gpay/apple pay

[unkempt lake]

Yeah i use paypal so

Makes sense

But it you go on the mobile website

You can do it

So i really think people are just stupid

[fair gull]

man

i feel so sorry for mankinds future

[unkempt lake]

it is quite sad

Disapointed moumou

[magic minnow]

I do know that if you buy a year of basic nitro and then buy the premium one you gotta wait until the regular one finishes

Guys when are we getting the wooting cat hair case

I'll collect moumou hair samples and ship them to wooting

I'll provide constant quality moumou hair

I'll get started on a prototype using my 2HE, tape and moumou hair

It's gonna be beautiful

[compact urchin]

can someone recomend a oled monitor 27 inch at least 240 hz an not more then 650 euros

[unkempt lake]

The moumouting

[slow trench]

Santa got me new keycaps and Geon raw switches 🙂

[unkempt lake]

I'd rather have it just be cat hair as we can mass produce that, we cant mass produce moumou that'd be a one time limited edition

[analog sinew]

we just clone moumou, we have the technology

[unkempt lake]

Go in pets and search jeff

[slow trench]

$239....wtf lol

[quaint dew]

country

?

[magic minnow]

Sorry the Jade Pros sound and feel better

I can’t wait for the Pixel 10 to come out

[slow trench]

did you like them better? I got both the jade and the jade pros, but i prefer the Geon raw, even tho they are pretty alike

[magic minnow]

I’m just joking it’s all preference but I do prefer the longer spring on the Pros

[slow trench]

have you tried these sticky rice he switches

[magic minnow]

I have not

Just Jades, Pros, Black Knights, and waiting for the Geons to come in

[slow trench]

@magic minnow you will love the geon raw! I havent found a shop in Europe who got the sticky rice switches. Might have to order from asia or usa

[umbral heron]

The ones which have calibration issues with Wooting and despite that keep getting recommended for Wooting for whatever reason?

[slow trench]

@umbral heron which ones?

[umbral heron]

Sticky rices
They overload sensor on Wootings

[graceful fulcrum]

If I use a 4k polling rate keyboard will it be noticeable to my 1k polling keyboard

for gaming

Or should I just keep it to 1k to save fps

Blurbusters just posted this:

CRT beam simulation in real time! (For retro enthusiasts)

The above are actual screenshots of the individual shader frames, not a video!!! When run in realtime, it looks low-blur like a CRT tube, especially at large native:emulated Hz ratios (e.g. 240-480Hz for 60fps content). More native:emulated inHz:outHz ratio the merrier for improved beam simulation realism, though!

The algorithm is being released tomorrow for any software developer to implement (BFI engines or display firmwares, or emulators like RetroArch, or processors like Retrotink, etc). Looks better than plain BFI as long as the display ABL/gamma/FALD sheningians doesn't interfere.

[slow trench]

@umbral heron ah i didnt know that, ty. Then ill just stay away from them and just use the geon raw which i found rly good 🙂

[crimson wigeon]

Never gonna pay for this shit anyway so whatever

Sue them to hell and back

[digital cliff]

that's gonna get thrown out immediately, clicking an additional button to cancel is hardly "overly complicated"

you cannot even argue it's delaying the consumer from taking action and canceling the sub in a timely manner when it's a fucking monthly sub

you have an entire month to click one additional button

[umbral heron]

Eh, they should focus on suing Adobe about their subscription practices to be honest

[wheat yacht]

Can Nvidia just announce the damn 50 series

Holy SHIT I’m tired of waiting

[ashen spindle]

its been like a year since people knew its going to be at ces so no

[crimson wigeon]

Laptop news?

[fair gull]

#🔌│tech message this is the biggest hurdle i can imagine but even then its not hard to overcome.... you just open discord webapp in mobile browser to cancel instead of in the app

[thorn perch]

Can someone tell me if i can configure a wooting 60 he on a laptop and then use it on a ps5 because i want a wooting but i dont now if i can do that

[thorn perch]

Ok thanks for the reply

[fair gull]

[kindred oar]

Hey, im currently having trouble with my keyboard. Its not a wooting but im frustrated. The keybord is a dk61 and it just wont let me write anything. The led‘s work fine, i can use the other mode to lower and higher the volume but i just cant write. i tried all the basic troubleshooting (restarting,re-connecting, uninstalling/updating drivers). i hope someone can help me

[charred nexus]

fn lock?

[wheat yacht]

5090 is ab to be like a trillion dollars

[charred nexus]

do you have the menu or some paper explaning the shortcut of the keyboard

perhaps you got lock in the function layer if the keyboard?

[kindred oar]

no, when i have that i can change the volume

[charred nexus]

right, have you tried it on another pc

[kindred oar]

sadly not, i bought the keyboard 3 years ago

[kindred oar]

dont have the oppurtunity to do that but i dont think its broken because i can do everything except writing

[charred nexus]

its rare that keyboard would break like that tho

either it doesnt turn on or it doesnt reg the keys

is it a wireless keyboard

[kindred oar]

no, wired

[charred nexus]

oh then idk whats wrong with it

prob something to do with functions layer but i have no idea what shortcut that keyboard has

[kindred oar]

when i unplug it and plug it in again the leds dont work but the volume thing with the fn lock still works

idk man thanks a lot tho

[charred nexus]

weird, prob the control chip doing weird stuffs

[digital cliff]

only the best chinese quality

[compact wren]

Can someone help my wooting keyboard is not working no rgb or anything when I plug it in it won’t get any connection on the app but when I go to settings it shows “wooting restore” but nothing else works

[digital cliff]

then restore

[grand copper]

Does wooting have an own app? When yes what is the name of it

[charred nexus]

https://wooting.io/wootility

[steady sail]

https://wootility.io/

[charred nexus]

is web app an app

[steady sail]

yeah kinda

[leaden kiln]

the app in web app means app

[halcyon moss]

Well aksually
Application

[charred nexus]

right

cuz i have no idea what consider an app and what is a website

is discord.exe an app or is it a chromium browser in disguise

[sudden imp]

teS

[halcyon moss]

It's a webapp running in a dedicated browser

[reef patrol]

What's the difference at the end of the day?

[halcyon moss]

And in the end it doesn't matter for the user, it's an app

[reef patrol]

But yes. It is essentially a website.

[charred nexus]

idk cuz i think it would be funny to write an entire OS in just HTML CSS and JavaScript

oh wait

[sly sage]

Just got my pc for Christmas u will set it up tomorrow

[charred nexus]

i mean it does in certain ways

god damn that beige dunks looking lit af

[ocean jackal]
