Can anyone give me a update on the : EU-Wiel-2 batch pls

[reef patrol]

#📦│batch_updates

[cold prism]

Ok I’ll have a look , asking because wooting just took the money out my acount

[reef patrol]

Sure. We charge immediately on checkout.

[ashen spindle]

That’s how it works when you buy a thing xD

[cold prism]

But it only just came out like 5 mins ago

[reef patrol]

We immediately reserve the amount on checkout, then the bank processes the payment within a couple of bank days. That's how we always handle payment.

Doesn't matter if your products are in stock or pending a restock.

[cold prism]

Ah I see , my mistake

[oblique solstice]

hey mansen, any update on the replacement parts batch? some1 told me they were sent on the 16th but almost 2 weeks passed and still no update

[reef patrol]

Not my department. No clue whatsoever.

[cursive summit]

You'd prolly ask Mark about that

But Mark's currently busy leaking stuff on stream

[analog sinew]

good Job mark

[oblique solstice]

ohhh okay

id like to but idk who Mark is xD

[reef patrol]

Just as well. You shouldn't ping staff members 😉

[oblique solstice]

dont believe i did, i just replied

[reef patrol]

A ping is a ping.

[cursive summit]

I bet that reply didn't have the ping disabled so you pinged Mansen

That's a ban

[oblique solstice]

idk what u classify as a ping but it wasnt a ping really was it?

i usually have replies turned off, only mentions

[reef patrol]

At any rate - if you have questions about your orders, then the support system is where to go 😄

[cursive summit]

[e-mail]

[viral python]

Are you trying to contact Wooting's customer service? Please use the support wizard!
https://wooting.io/support

[oblique solstice]

i did actually, and i always use support but had no replies since a week ago :/

maybe due to the holidays

[cursive summit]

I will use the email now to invoke the bot

[oblique solstice]

thats why i asked directly

[cursive summit]

Holidays, backlog emails, priority emails, etc

[oblique solstice]

yeah guess so, understandable

[cursive summit]

Idk what the replacement parts batch is, but if you got a batch number, there's the batch page with latest news https://wooting.io/batch-updates

[unkempt lake]

But... I ping mark with cat pics all the time

Am i gonna get banned ):

[unkempt lake]

Whatever happened to LiFi

With LiFi iirc you could charge stuff wirelessly within a certain space of your home

[analog sinew]

this is your brain on wireless

[cursive summit]

It's like transmitted from your lamps or something lel

[analog sinew]

"well just make it solar"

[cursive summit]

Tbf I still don't see much of a purpose of bluetooth keyboards or mice

Personal thing, obviously

But I guess a solar panel could help keebs like Wooting actually become bluetooth, if I remember correctly hall effect keyboards consume a LOT of power and would be really hard to wireless-ify

[analog sinew]

mouse i kiinda understand but keyboard only if you really move it a lot

which most dont

[cursive summit]

Yeah mouse I do kinda understand, but I still use them wired even if they have a wireless dongle

Keyboard is defo weird wireless

I think I had the G915 which was wired + BT + 2.4, and it had an insane amount of wireless charge, like half a year or something

Never used it wireless, always on wire

[nimble arch]

I still have a G915

Battery life is dogshit if you leave the backlight on

Like charging every week kinda shit

[cursive summit]

I dunno why you'd want the backlight on

But I gave that G915 to my sister and she hadn't charged it for like 9 months now? Still works on wireless

[nimble arch]

I like my keyboards backlit

Got like a month to wait until my 80HE arrives so not too much longer dealing with this G915 anyway

[latent mural]

I dont know if i am right here but is there a shortcut for the mode switch for consoles? I have seen the ecplanation video on how to do it but i dont have a pc to download the software to enable it.

[reef patrol]

You won't be using the keyboard on a console, without a PC anyway.

You need to set it up for console use beforehand.

[latent mural]

So there isnt a shortcut but thanks for the help

[reef patrol]

There is. On the keyboard by default.

But you still need a PC to disable nKRO. That has nothing to do with shortcuts switches or anything.

(mode refers to something entirely different on our keyboards in other words)

[latent mural]

Ok, i meant the nKRO i just thought that there could be a shortcut, thanks

Ok

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't make much sense, as you still need a PC to configure the keyboard in any meaningful way.

[latent mural]

Ok and i can only get the software on PC right

[reef patrol]

Looks expensive. Remember when consoles included two controllers? Or they didn't cost twice of a AAA game on release? 😄

[cursive summit]

Doesn't Series X and PS5 disk drive include 2 controllers?

[hard warren]

no?

[magic minnow]

Imagine

The Xbox Elite control with the worst QC ever

[cursive summit]

Some editions exist, I've seen one in the wild

[cedar fog]

so instead of a game you get another controller

is what it seems

[hard warren]

there are bundles which have 2 controllers but the console itself only has 1

you can get both it seems

[cursive summit]

Considering that the 2 controller bundle I've literally touched myself and it was just called a PS5 console and no bundle, I have no clue

Well anyways I got the PS5 digital not long ago, and I've been happy with it

[hard warren]

Synology DS224+ 2 Bay NAS Desktop: Efficient Storage Solution https://amzn.eu/d/g73OBMM

[cursive summit]

Seems like a decent price, the cheapest I can find is € 324.35

And that deal is gone lel

I really want to know though what kind of people need that much data storage

Surely you.. clean up after yourself after watching a series and just delete it since you aren't likely to watch it anytime soon again

Or is data hoarding basically the same as just item hoarding and people just.. forget what's on their PC just like they forget what items they own in their house?

[marsh glade]

I have a backup of my father's photo archive of over 100k pictures he has taken in raw format

[cursive summit]

Yeah, photography is.. kinda insane tbf

I dunno wouldn't photography be best stored.. in USB flash drives? CDs?

I know my family used to store a lot of them on floppies, but that's way before my time

I'd rather have them all printed and in an album as well

[marsh glade]

I think you underestimate how much storage 100k+ full sized tif files is haha

[unkempt lake]

Those degrade more

Than something like an HDD

Cds will die from disk rot and flash drives? Those are so cheaply made they'll die eventually

And well... an hdd you can use it in a raid setup

Get some redundancy

[reef patrol]

Everything degrades. Never hurts to have multiple backups.

[marsh glade]

Multiple raid backup servers on 3 continents

[cursive summit]

Tbf I guess I don't particularly understand photographers

Who even takes.. 100 thousand images

[marsh glade]

It's my father's life work

[unkempt lake]

You don't have a moumou you wouldn't get it

[cursive summit]

That sounds incredible tbf, but how many of those images are not necessary?

Surely there's a lot of redundancy there?

That's an astronomical number for me for each to have meaningful data collected from a single person

[marsh glade]

Every image has been meticulously tagged, subjects identified, meta data itemized, and quality sorted. Duplicates are removed, anything that is of quality "dud" or "low" is removed

[reef patrol]

Lel

[astral haven]

ive taken about 20k photos in 2 years pre sorting

[cursive summit]

I'd honestly love to know what's in those images

Well, I am not a photographer, I don't have much interest in photography I suppose

But yeah that's rather fascinating

I guess if you are that specific type of person, mass data storage makes a lot of sense

[marsh glade]

Within the archive, there are a total of 50,615 photos with links to 811 people

[cursive summit]

Considering you sounding a bit apprehensive, I think there's a degree of sensitivity in the subject matter and I'll respectfully not pry any more

[drifting rock]

Ayo, does anyone know if it makes a differente if i use some other usb c cable of my keyboard ? The yellow from the original cable is not matching to my setup 😭

[cursive summit]

But yeah in this specific case, a home server sounds like one of the only possible solutions how to efficiency store so much data

[marsh glade]

I'm happy to share context but not particular specifics, it being a public server and the exteme volume of personally identifiable information

[unkempt lake]

As long as its not a cheapo cable it will work

[cursive summit]

Mark would you say the amount of people that need such amount of data storage are.. a very small minority?

I doubt the typical normie needs a NAS to store their data

[marsh glade]

75 rolls of film from photos taken by my father's father between 1957 and 1994

Meticulously scanned and digitized for prosterity 😄

[cursive summit]

That sounds like it belongs in an archive

[marsh glade]

Absolutely

[drifting rock]

Okay thanks..

[cursive summit]

If the photos are of historical value, I'd love to peruse them in a public archive

Old photos are very interesting, I have some degree of interest in local history and old photos

[marsh glade]

The oldest photograph in the archive was taken around the year 1900

[cursive summit]

Not the act of photography itself sadly

[astral haven]

its definetly easier to generate gigabytes upon gigabytes of photos now than in the year 1900

[cursive summit]

I think anything before 1920s should prolly be in an archive lel

[astral haven]

was that scanned with a camera or a dedicated scanner?

[marsh glade]

Enthusiast level but fairly top of the line scanner

[astral haven]

nice

[marsh glade]

Most of the film rolls have been rescanned 3 or 4 times every 10 or 15 years with new tools

[astral haven]

lol makes sense

maybe in another 10 years we will have photon counting cameras and we wont have to deal with this blasted "progression" of cameras any more

[cursive summit]

This is prolly one of those areas where "AI" could be interesting in restoring old photos

Although I think even the idea of that is prolly very taboo for an archivist

[marsh glade]

To a degree perhaps, but also counter intuitively the silver crystals on the film have near infinite resolution

[astral haven]

there are some non ai techniques to recover out of focus blurred images

[marsh glade]

SmarterEveryDay did a really fascinating set of videos on film manufacturing

[astral haven]

eh the crystals are smaller than some pixels, but even assuming a single crystal could capture a pixel worth of data, current cameras can surpass them as long as you arent looking at massive film plates

[marsh glade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQKy1KJpSVc

[marsh glade]

This depends a huge amount on the size of the crystals that get plated

[astral haven]

as you get smaller crystals, the isos get smaller and smaller, so your exposures get longer and longer
when you do that, you can now start to use sensor shift and lucky imaging techniques with digital, matching the exposure time but collecting far more data

[marsh glade]

At any rate, the archive is massive and the sentimental value is immeasurable

[bright briar]

tech

[wise osprey]

Your order is being prepared to ship to you

how long does it take on average

[marsh glade]

I found an even older one, a scan of a photo of my great grandfather as a small child, taken in the Dutch East Indies around 1880

[cursive summit]

I think this is where upscaling and denoising techniques could be very beneficial

[marsh glade]

Probably yea

[cursive summit]

Though with lack of data upscaling can just.. not achieve much or even have the opposite result

Rather interesting

[reef patrol]

I wish my family had taken anywhere near as good care of our family photos as a whole.

[marsh glade]

There's a series of pictures of photos that seem to be some kind of VoC ID cards

I'm not really sure of the story behind them though

[analog sinew]

hmm i only know of my grandparents old pics

nothing older than that. we have the hat of my great grandfather tho

it's a pop up cylinder that still works. It was made around 1899 iirc.

Does someone know of a company that sells mice that can be repaired / are durable / servicable / have replacement parts available online and MAYBE even sell vertical (ergonomic) mice?

I'm so sick of throwing away tech after two years because there is no replaceable parts available and finding out the product was build to fail after two years.

I don't care if its $300.

[magic minnow]

What brand have you been buying?

[rain tide]

logitech have been the worst experience now.
iirc it was the G403

For now I've switched to used office mice and found myself liking the vertical kind, but the one I have is not really made for gaming

[lavish axle]

you would probably have best luck just googling “hot swappable” mouses as tech like that is niche atm

it definitely exists tho

don’t think you will be able to find one that supports a replacement pcb though

another good option is look for mice that don’t have soldered or glued switches

they can somehow against the 80 cards

but they wanna win against the 70 cards this time

Doesn’t Nvidia not even care about gaming anymore most of their clients are just like miners and other stuff

i would say that the 5090 cards are gonna be more for AI ppl

bc even games at 4k ultra settings with ray tracing doesnt eated all of the vram

[wheat yacht]

That’s way too much

[steady sail]

u gonna be happy with a 5080 as well

[analog sinew]

but they make ai cards so they just charge gamers cause they can

[steady sail]

yeah bc ppl gonna buy anything

[wheat yacht]

Aren’t they absolutely frying the 5080 with only 16 GBs of vram

[steady sail]

not really

for me atleast

[magic minnow]

Just wait for the super

[wheat yacht]

True

[steady sail]

but yeah 5080 super could be a thing with 20gb vram

[analog sinew]

but thats another while away

[steady sail]

or nvidia just nvidia and 5080 super is gonna be 16gb as well

[wheat yacht]

I hope they just give it the 24

[wheat yacht]

That would be so fucking funny 💀

[magic minnow]

At that point just wait for the 60xx

[analog sinew]

what do we need more than 16gb of vram for

[steady sail]

why do you even need more than 16gb or vram ?

[lyric hatch]

So in 5+ years you can play games at 8k in 12 fps instead of 6fps

[analog sinew]

nvidia greeds with vram yeah but 16 doesnt seem so bad?

[wheat yacht]

Idk I mod cyberpunk a lot and it eats up a lot of vram

Granted I do only have 12 rn

[steady sail]

i guess

in that way just go with a used 4090

[wheat yacht]

Yeah I’ll prolly do that

Fucking 3 grand for a gpu is insanity

[steady sail]

yeah and this is when nvidia not gonna say anything but we should wait till CES

[magic minnow]

I really wanted a 5090 ;-; my dreams are shattered

[steady sail]

i guess im gonna be happy with a 4070 super

[wheat yacht]

I wonder what the scalped price of a 5090 is gonna be

7 grand

[magic minnow]

3k

[steady sail]

4500 xD

[wheat yacht]

Damn it too impatient

no you gotta believe

[steady sail]

and buy a "new" used gpu

[ashen spindle]

you people need to chill, there is nothing concrete we know about basically any of the cards so its absolutely pointless to think it will cost 5 grand or be bad or good or anything

[unkempt lake]

Real talk tho most people don't need an upgrade anyways they just want an upgrade

[analog sinew]

i have a 2070S

i neeeed

[unkempt lake]

no

just drop a few settings

[rough osprey]

i cant live without tech news

[ashen spindle]

me neither but I dont cling unto made up shit like its a fact

[analog sinew]

nah

i buy

[rough osprey]

not all of us have that much self control

[fickle ore]

Yo guys next year will be the year of AR

who cares about pleb boomer PC gaming anymore

[analog sinew]

it is safe to buy more shit from me thanks man

[cursive summit]

We know plenty though

Specs, hell even what coolers will look like

[trim crane]

me when geforce partner program

https://rog.asus.com/ca-en/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-strix/rog-strix-rx7600-o8g-gaming/

[cursive summit]

You can already start guessing prices just from specs

[trim crane]

iirc nvidia said to reserve the best components for GeForce cards

[cursive summit]

And I still don't see the 5090 being cheaper than $2500

[ashen spindle]

we dont know how the cores perform so knowing how many there are means nothing

we do not know enough to have any better price guess than 2 years ago

[rough osprey]

sureee

[distant tapir]

Year of the Gentoo desktop

[lyric hatch]

Nvidia is pretty known to hold the price of the cards a pretty tight kept secret even changing the price on launch day from what was planned

So who knows

[stray jacinth]

Yeah they can very easily change prices

Pretty sure EVGA complained about that specific issue a lot as well.

Which is why they stopped making GPUs

[rain quiver]

Its not gonna be over $2k

[ashen spindle]

it easily could be

[trim crane]

i don't blame them

[stray jacinth]

4090 MSRP was $1600

[rain quiver]

Exactly

[stray jacinth]

Yet realistically you could only get it for around $2000

[ashen spindle]

and the 5090 is a lot bigger so the raw cost alone is more

[stray jacinth]

So yeah I can definitely see it at $2000 from Nvidia

[rain quiver]

Even $2k for the 5090 is a stretch

[ashen spindle]

the VRAM could also be costing more

[wild coyote]

It's Nvidia...

[rain quiver]

3090 ti was $2000

[stray jacinth]

It's a stretch all right

[rain quiver]

4090 dropped by $400

[ashen spindle]

so the two most important components cost more than the 4090, why would the 5090 not cost more then

[rain quiver]

3090 was $1500

[stray jacinth]

The issue is that it's Nvidia

[ashen spindle]

looooool

[stray jacinth]

Please show me where you can get a 4090 for $400 less please

[rain quiver]

What? 2000-1600 =400

[ashen spindle]

if you want to compare that you would need to compare it to the 4090ti we never got

4090 is not the full ADA-102 die

[rain quiver]

Im saying in comparison to 3090ti

[stray jacinth]

Ahh kk

[ashen spindle]

but it doesnt make sense to compare it to the 3090ti

[rain quiver]

So the msrp of the flagship increasing by $900 makes 0 sense

[stray jacinth]

It's Nvidia again

[ashen spindle]

you do know like 20% of cores on the 4090 are disabled?

[rain quiver]

What does that have to do with anything

[ashen spindle]

so if we had gotten a 4090ti that would also be 2k+

[rain quiver]

Im just saying its 0% chance that the 5090 will be more than $2k

And even $2k is a bit of a stretch

[ashen spindle]

so given we dont know how enabled the 5090 would be, it would be a more expensive card to make than the 3090ti

[stray jacinth]

Yeah here is too hoping

What probably will happen is msrp at $1800

[ashen spindle]

the die size of the 4090 is like 600mm^2 while the 5090 will be 750mm^2 roughly supposedly

[stray jacinth]

But low supply and scalpers jump in

Price then rise to above $2K

[rain quiver]

I mean duh that happens every gen

Gotta get one on launch

[stray jacinth]

Mmmmmm not really every gen

[rain quiver]

Didnt it happen for 40 30 20 and 10

[distant tapir]

Okay stupid question: does this mean the card will be wider and as a result fit in far less cases?

[stray jacinth]

Most so since Mining, AI and Covid.

But I get what you mean

[ashen spindle]

so the gpu die itself is 25% larger, the vram is more expensive because its gddr7 so it could easily reach 2000USD

[rain quiver]

Literally same shit both increase the price

[stray jacinth]

It was fine during the 2000 time period

[rain quiver]

Yeah

[ashen spindle]

nah the pcb is the same just the raw die itself

[stray jacinth]

Then 3000 hit and that was a massive performance jump

1000 series was great

[lyric hatch]

Yeah 2000 series was not great hence the

[stray jacinth]

There is a reason 1080 TI is still used by many

[lyric hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/nvidia-jensen-huang-safe-to-upgrade-gif-26481071

[rain quiver]

Cuz they cant afford to upgrade

[ashen spindle]

if you remember the 2080ti, that one was also much larger than the 4090 and was fitting into gpus just fine

[stray jacinth]

Oh god that Hahaha

[rain quiver]

1080ti has no features and consumes too much power just to perform like a what a 3060 or something idk

[rain quiver]

Is it really

[lyric hatch]

Yeah but it came out at $699 7 years ago

[rain quiver]

Ik im just saying its not great today

[ashen spindle]

yes, I do in fact know what I'm talking about and dont make up random stuff I dont know

[balmy vector]

Anyway, laptop news?

[pale sigil]

Ye

[rain quiver]

How is a 2080ti much larger than a 4090

[ashen spindle]

turin-102 was the biggest gpu in a while if we dont count volta

[distant tapir]

I didn't pay attention during the 2000 series at all so I don't remember no. I had a 1080 Ti

[ashen spindle]

because thats how silicon dies work

[ashen spindle]

well the sizes were mostly the same

[unkempt lake]

2000 series was boring but not bad. It was actually purchasable at MSRP xD

[rain quiver]

2080ti die size: Around 545mm²
4090 die size: Around 609mm²

So is this cap

[ashen spindle]

the 2080ti die size its 754mm^2

I dont know where you took your numbers from

[lyric hatch]

Yeah but MSRP compared to 1000 series wasn't great which is why not many purchased

[rain quiver]

Idk google lying ig

[stray jacinth]

Why are we talking about die size?

[unkempt lake]

I got my 2080 for like... 100cad more than a 1080ti at the time

[ashen spindle]

because I'm trying to explain why it could be that a 5090 costs 2000$

[stray jacinth]

Ahhh okay

[ashen spindle]

and one reason for that is that its like 25% more silicon than a 4090

[stray jacinth]

Sorry I lost track of the conversation

[balmy vector]

I can very much see a 5090 being 2k, especially for the new memory

[rain quiver]

Yeah 2k sure but the person i replied to was saying $2500

Theres just no way they do a $900 jump

[ashen spindle]

the 2080ti was big because it was on 12nm which is just a smaller name for tsmcs 16nm node so it wasnt really a big node jump from pascal

and I'm trying to explain to you its not a 900 jump because unlike the 3090ti the 4090 was not the fully enabled die so it was not the best that nvidia could have given us

so if the 5090 is full enabled 754mm^2 of N3 silicon that could easily be like a 3090ti follow up with more costs, more expensive ram, tarrifs etc.

[stray jacinth]

Goddamn

Yeah the tariffs could really fuck this over

[ashen spindle]

now we dont know the gddr7 prices, that could actually be cheaper than g6s which was just for nvidia

[balmy vector]

Ces will be interesting

[ashen spindle]

but that just boils down to we dont know if its 1500 or 2500 and both could make sense

[steady sail]

so i gonna pre-order 2 5090's

[stray jacinth]

If only

[balmy vector]

No, go 3

[steady sail]

nah i need 6 and i open a AI store

[balmy vector]

Why not eat them?

[steady sail]

i gonna give u one and i wanna see it u deep fry it and eat it

[balmy vector]

I accept this challenge

[distant tapir]

I'm hoping the 5070 Ti will release sooner than later since it's what I'm aiming for

[lyric hatch]

So 8% performance for $100 CAD more, can see why people weren't keen to upgrade that generation

[unkempt lake]

DLSS

RT

DX12U

[lyric hatch]

Both were pretty trash and had hardly any support at the time

[unkempt lake]

Look at how the 2080 handles games nowadays compared to a 1080 ti

[ashen spindle]

so nothing, nothing and something that only like last year became relevant

[unkempt lake]

Yet the card lives on in nico's rig meaning it's still relevant

[ashen spindle]

yeah but no upgrade option

[lyric hatch]

Also if you waited for 3000 series you got even better both of those things by a decent margin

[unkempt lake]

30 series more like unavailableium

[stray jacinth]

^

[lyric hatch]

Skill issue got mine

[stray jacinth]

It took a while to get a 3080

[unkempt lake]

For reference I had a 980 when I upgraded to the 2080

[stray jacinth]

But man it was not fun

Specifically a FE 3080

My friends wanted that one

[distant tapir]

Are you American? I think Americans in particular had a hard time. I had no issue getting mine right after launch as a non-American

[stray jacinth]

And I'm pretty sure I brought the last two in stock lol

[unkempt lake]

In Canada it was a pain in the ass

[stray jacinth]

America here

It was sold out everywhere for us

I checked everything, even some connections I had

[balmy vector]

I got my 3060 ti from one of the newegg bundle selectors during the drought

[unkempt lake]

I actually got a 3080 on preorder for my brother as he was looking for one and I saw it in the middle of the night online and the store cancelled the order just to put it back on the website the next day at a higher price

[stray jacinth]

Yeah it was a bad time for gpus

[steady sail]

i got my 1070 when nvidia dropped the 3000 series card

[lyric hatch]

Not American just got lucky and purchased when it released was sold out a couple days later

[stray jacinth]

Crypto, Covid, Tariffs, Etc, Etc

Also wasn't the FE edition removed from European online stores

[unkempt lake]

Store taking "preorders" of stuff they don't have or trying to make a profit by jacking up prices

[stray jacinth]

Because of how limited the stock was

[distant tapir]

I remember they talked about PS5s being very difficult to get as well

[unkempt lake]

Ps5s were easier to get

Unless you wanted the disk drive version

[balmy vector]

Oh yeah ps5/series x was also hard to get in the states

[magic minnow]

The switch launch

[unkempt lake]

That was easy

[balmy vector]

Oled switch so nice, wish i had it

[magic minnow]

It kept selling out over here

[stray jacinth]

God remember the waiting list?

Unless that was just me

[unkempt lake]

Shit like that is why I don't consider the 30 series MSRP real

It was fake as fuck

[stray jacinth]

But I remember there being a waiting list to buy 3000 series

[balmy vector]

I remember i sat in those

[distant tapir]

Is this a repost?

[crimson wigeon]

Don't think so but aw yeah another shitty prebuilt

[distant tapir]

Always a fun watch

[scenic thunder]

Being honest it's not. Emulate totk once and it's apparent why Nintendo hates them, their own newest console can only run it at 15fps in some areas, 30 if its not crowded or literally nothings going on, or on a mid range pc in today's standards can get 60 fps 1080p easily.

It's really sad Nintendo is adamant on making pretty decent games that will never run full spec

[cursive summit]

No, the vid is brand new lel

[pale sigil]

Does anyone have any idea why when I plug my laptop into my monitor it feels laggy?

[cursive summit]

Maybe.. you plug the monitor into the laptop?

[pale sigil]

Ok ye so it's at 60hz

Despite it showing 144hz in windows

Ok so my laptop doesn't like outputting 144hz while having the laptop screen also on lol

I dont remember big framedrops when i played totk on my switch

[unkempt lake]

Check the hz in the amd app

Instead of windows

Hello guys, i know its not a wooting problem, but would you guys say that dt 770pro x limited edition is good for gaming (cs2, valorant and battle royales)

i prefer closed back

[analog sinew]

sure why not

[deep cargo]

would you recommed anythign else?

[analog sinew]

audio is such a minefield, everyone has 50 opinions and it always turns into a shitfling. Thats a respectable headset, slap an EQ on if needed, but I think it should be fine.

[halcyon moss]

I have my dt 770pro for over 10 years, replaced the earpads once. It's a sturdy headset. (don't abuse it)

[deep cargo]

okay thank you

[dusky bobcat]

whats the dif between the 990 and the 770?

I have the 990 and I hate it for gaming

[halcyon moss]

Open back VS closed back

[halcyon moss]

Why?

[sudden imp]

Agreed, Something I personally think isnt valued enough is how long the headphone/earphone will last you and how well its built.

everything else is definitely opinion orientated.

[dusky bobcat]

its so quiet

I use my hyper x cloud 2s for gaming

[analog sinew]

turn it up?

What ohms did you get?

I got 80 and have no trouble driving it

[unkempt lake]

your hearing is damaged

(:

[leaden kiln]

or they can't drive them

[dusky bobcat]

LMFAO its max vol on windows but i have adjusted in game

[pale sigil]

Need a

[dusky bobcat]

I have an audio interface

[astral haven]

very few audio interfaces have the powa

usually only around apple dongle in power, and for super cheap you can get alot more often
what interfaces often do have is the volts, so if youve got 300 ohmers you might actually do well

[old marlin]

Dt 770 has no easily replaced cable and a known constructional weakpoint that causes common failures

[dusky bobcat]

this is what i use

[undone sun]

that true?

[ashen spindle]

lmao no

[undone sun]

save to say that buying a wooting is a good decision bc i was thinking about the tiger 80 lite or wooting

[ashen spindle]

idk wtf that guy hallucinated about latency being bad or anything when any test everywhere shows its working as advertised or better

[undone sun]

thanks bro

[ashen spindle]

yea sure where can i find them

the other pcbs with tiger i have no idea

Hey monkeys I wanted to ask does anyone here use tiny windows 11

That super stripped down one

[umbral heron]

Don't use alternative Windows distros unless you want a huge gaping security hole in your PC
You can do almost the same optimization thing with scripts on an official release

[wheat yacht]

Oh damn I thought it was just a way to strip down windows 11 into having no bloat

I didn’t know they removed/ messed with windows security too?

[lofty pivot]

Whoever he is, he doesn’t know that deadzone tests are a lie and deadzone is dynamic based on the switch for some boards like the wooting

if i run something as admin i meant for it to happen

[trim crane]

what does the bilibili site say about the deadzones

[unkempt lake]

i dont need a damn warning

[wheat plume]

It also means that shit that gets launched in the background can run as admin without you knowing

[halcyon moss]

Uac is barely a thing these days

[unkempt lake]

i dont run stupid crap

i have a brain

:D

if something happens to be fishy av + smartscreen will give me a warning which they manage to do on official crap anyways

ah yes thank you for warning me about... running the amd adrenaline update

thank you microsoft

UAC only kicks in when trying to run crap which well... if i have it installed and am clicking to run it I am gonna do anyways

made for easier scroll wheel cleaning

[rough osprey]

finally cheaper

🤔

[nimble arch]

huh

[vapid ruin]

Powered using their new AI llama 400b!

or 70b, since that's cheaper to run

not sure what to think of this but if you can chat with it I guess it's fine

[marsh glade]

Dead internet theory at work

[distant tapir]

I am intrigued

[steady sail]

ah yes paperweight

for that price i just buy another mouse

oh and someone selling a non super 4080 for 730 euro

[lyric hatch]

it's not that expensive at least for the hardware

[rough osprey]

could be cheaper then the mod kits

[steady sail]

and its looks clean as well

[rough osprey]

ye

[steady sail]

tho idk if the 5800x3d would be a good enough cpu for that card

[lyric hatch]

probably be a lot of cheaper used 4000 series cards coming soon

people love an upgrade each generation

[steady sail]

yeah im thinking about getting a used 4080 for my gpu upgrade from the 6700 xt

[rough osprey]

im gonna wait for new info on 5000 before

[steady sail]

5000 series is gonna be too expensive so i dont really care about it

[rough osprey]

5070 / ti could be close to used 4080 price with more performance

[steady sail]

yeah but i dont wanan pay that much for a 50 series card

[rough osprey]

although not sure if they gonna make 5070ti with more performance then a 4090 again

[steady sail]

as the cheapest 4070 ti super is 830 euro

[steady sail]

i think they gonna do that

Hungary is a shit place to buy new tech

[rough osprey]

if it also draws like 300 watt max im buying

[vapid ruin]

I hope that's the case, so that I can snatch 3090 for cheaper and use that for AI

[rough osprey]

u can have mine

[steady sail]

i could buy a 3090 for 600 euro already

but i could just go for a 4080 and have better tech atleast

[rough osprey]

if the prices drop enough

[leaden kiln]

I was also kinda thinking of a 3090/ti, or a 4090, or an xtx
would probably upgrade next year I just want the vram

[steady sail]

as right now the cheapest 4080 supers are 1100 euro

[vapid ruin]

ehh, maybe not naow. I dont' have another pcie slot

[slow trench]

im gonna order 5090 asap, cant wait

[steady sail]

u gonna spend 2500$ on it ?

[slow trench]

it will prolly be closer to €3000 in sweden with all our taxes, but yes

[steady sail]

smh

i still think that the 5090 is gonna be for AI and not for gaming

[leaden kiln]

are they mutually exclusive

[slow trench]

im happy with the asus strix 4090 that i got now, so ill prolly go for a strix 5090

[steady sail]

not but what game need 32gb vram ?

[ashen spindle]

wouldnt look at asus for the first option, they are always way too overpriced for gpus lol

[steady sail]

okay soo thats gonna be around 4000 or even more

or 3500

[ashen spindle]

its impossible to know which brands are good or bad for a future gen but asus has always been extra expensive for no reason

[slow trench]

@steady sail haha prolly

[leaden kiln]

my favorite game vrchat will eat all of it

🚬

[steady sail]

[ashen spindle]

modded games and such will actually use a ton sometimes

[slow trench]

im sure w/e they cost they will sell out in a few minutes after launch. so i will sit and hit f5 like a fool on lauch day :p

[steady sail]

and im just gonna laught at those ppl

bc 100% AI companies just gonna buy all of that

[slow trench]

as long as i get one im good 🙂

[steady sail]

i never understood why ppl need a 90 card

[ashen spindle]

because people have money and like their hobby

nobody needs a gpu in the first place

[sharp badger]

I should've bought the 3090 instead of the 3080

[ashen spindle]

like just because its more vram than you need for now and the next few years in gaming doesnt mean it cant be used as a gaming card or shouldnt be used as one

[slow trench]

i gave my 3090 to my son when i bought the 4090, sooon he will get a 4090 and i a 5090, he will be one happy 7 year old 🙂

[wheat yacht]

Damn is there no version that keeps the windows defender stuff?

I thought they would only get rid of the useless shit like copilot and a bunch of other dogshit

[ashen spindle]

also for some people its more than a months salary, for somone in california it's probably like less than 1/3

yeah no, stripped down windows versions are a bad idea, use the normal one and find what people disable and thats all

[steady sail]

for me the 5090 would cost like 3-4 months of salary

or even more

soo i just say away from high end gpu's

[ashen spindle]

yeah and in cali the average salary would mean its like 1/4 of one month

[slow trench]

@steady sail and im sure for someone els its like 6-8 months, we all just do diff things in life

[steady sail]

and even if i buy a high end gpu i dont even use it at all bc i work in 3 shifts xd

and thats how i get 1000 euro for a month maybe xd

[ashen spindle]

and others spend it on car tires for looks lol

[steady sail]

i mean i can understand car stuff

[slow trench]

i want a Audi rs7, but then i gotta work more lol 😄

[ashen spindle]

really? this makes sense for looks but a high end gpu doesnt?

[steady sail]

i would spend 3000 euro on a car instead of a gpu

[ashen spindle]

this isnt a car this is just the tire/wheel not even both

[steady sail]

car stuff

im not that suprised by car stuff prices

[sharp badger]

Those look ugly too

[ashen spindle]

yeah but how is that any different from getting a gpu as hobby

[slow trench]

haha "no credit needed" f*****ck ye! $6500 😉

[steady sail]

and even u get 4 sets of tier for 2800$

and not just a single gpu for that

[ashen spindle]

comparing quantity doesnt make sense for this

[slow trench]

you can prolly buy a whole kia rio for €6500 tho :p

[ashen spindle]

sorry but if your argument is, you get 4 wheels and not just 1 gpu that's just a pointless discussion lol

[vapid ruin]

you need like 4 wheels for most car, meanwhile game only need 1 gpu to run

[slow trench]

Gas in sweden is 17kr/ liter ($5.72 / gallon) but hey!! "free" healthcare!

[sharp badger]

And looking at the cost for e.g. like 3 years it isn't that bad

[ashen spindle]

in the same sense I need 4 wheels I also need a cpu ram and all for a pc and for the same price as those 4 wheels I can easily include the entire rest of the pc and have money left over lol

[vapid ruin]

Don't you also need to buy a car to put the wheel in too?

[sharp badger]

The cost of upgrading every year adds up, be it Phones, PCs, Cars etc. and usually unnecessary because of the marginal upgrades

[leaden kiln]

Damn like 19sek here

[slow trench]

eveyone have diff economy, what is worth to someone is crazy to others. the ladder never ends

[sharp badger]

Yes don't see myself upgrading my phone every year to the newest even though i can buy it

[distant tapir]

""""""""free"""""'""""

[ashen spindle]

this is tech we dont need to get into discussion about healthcare

[slow trench]

"The price of the 2025 Audi RS7 starts at $131,195" i want this, my wife doesnt (she is a doctor) she can afford it, i cant :p

@distant tapir haha exactly 😉

[analog sinew]

thankfully humans live off gasoline

but maybe if you are so carbrained that your guzzler is more important than health this makes sense

[unkempt lake]

Imagine putting 131k into a depreciating asset...

If you want a cool car, buy a used one cash and have your fun with it

[leaden kiln]

death trap

[leaden kiln]

It's cool and not especially expensive for what it is, I think I would like sidebuttons though

[winter patrol]

dang

[balmy vector]

Powered by finalmouse

[winter patrol]

finalmouse pcb and software

https://zeromouse.co/products/blade

[leaden kiln]

their software is nice and so is batterylife
Maybe finally a finalmouse product without major qc issues

Though admittedly haven't heard of any issues on the comp except people not liking how it looks

[winter patrol]

might have more supply than their own mice lol

[leaden kiln]

his old ones were only 1k units a batch so I kinda doubt he would do more than 10k if he does batches, maybe he'll do continuous production though who knows

[topaz rapids]

it arrived today and im loving it

[fickle moss]

Can you guys recommend gpx2 vs viper v3 pro?

[rough osprey]

depends on what shape you prefer

[fickle moss]

I have expected gpx2 is more good to me than v3 pro. But someone tell me gpx2's click sound is very noisy. So, I have considered.

[rough osprey]

razer is bit quieter but wouldnt say the gpx2 sound is a real issue

not loud enough to get picked up by discord or anything atleast for me

[distant tapir]

There's a 5k2k oled announced now but it's way too big for me at 45 inches and only 165 Hz

floppy bird on floppy screen

[distant tapir]

How the hell did Flappy Bird get so popular. It's 100% like those commercial games that pop up that you can actually play without downloading

[rough osprey]

back then

different times

[analog sinew]

it was kinda fun tbh

nothing i would sink 100 hours in but for a few sessions it was fun

[analog sinew]

remember when rage comics where the shit

i member.

[magic minnow]

Most of us were in school at the time

Everyone competing for a high score

Temple Run and Jetpack Joyride also blew up because of that

[frozen ingot]

now yes. but flappy bird was the og

[steady sail]

I loved temple run

[frozen ingot]

naturally the 1000th copypasta of it isn't going to do well

[steady sail]

And jetpack joyride as well

[frozen ingot]

that one's better even

[old marlin]

pewdiepie

[crisp granite]

Ok, finally a worthy upgrade from my v34

[unique otter]

how’s it without side buttons

[crisp granite]

Great

[distant tapir]

Black levels on my CRT

Is it irrational to be afraid of the screen imploding and killing me? When I turn it on I lean my head away from it just incase it explodes

[leaden kiln]

average crt enjoyer message

[analog sinew]

probably yea

[distant tapir]

Implosions are damn scary

https://youtu.be/Qv-Ub7kgm0Y

[unique otter]

oled better

[distant tapir]

Of course

But this is pretty damn good too. Black levels beat any LCD I have ever owned

[bright briar]

final mouse new mouse gonna be like

pay $400 for imagination 🤯

the most cutting edge mouse is the one you can picture in your mind

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-imagination-rainbow-happy-gif-4596954

[frozen ingot]

unless you subject the crt to various kinetic force/violence I wouldn't be too worried

[leaden kiln]

Thought you were talking about the rvmse when you said it's 400

[bright briar]

yeah its that much in CAD

usd is around $200ish

[leaden kiln]

It's 300 usd (I assume that's without tax) on razers website

Not available though

[bright briar]

all these crazy cost for what? Just for them to go 1- 20 in comp

😭

[leaden kiln]

0.3 kd

[bright briar]

(me throwing shade at the randos on my team)

[marsh pewter]

(i’m that rando)

[echo dome]

mine just arrived

[fair gull]

would have been nicer if it was initiated by the smallest amount of force needed and a small mechanism. or just high framerate

maybe something for the slowmo guys

[pale sigil]

homeassist is neat

[balmy vector]

Ooo that is cool

[pale sigil]

Whats not cool is i have basically not touched my desktop this month and its cost me 6.80

[vapid ruin]

waow, looks expensive

[finite loom]

should i get the 60he or de 80he

[wheat plume]

Depends what size layout you prefer really
Or if you are good enough at games to make good use of the 8k polling rate on the 80he

[small tartan]

how do i see this

[halcyon moss]

1. Use home assistant
2. Configure the power costs in the energy dashboard
3. Plug pc into a power meter socket

4. Configure that socket in the energy dashboard as a device

[fickle moss]

thx.

[dusky ore]

is this supposed to be at 100% all the time?

it says 38 here

[vapid ruin]

It's just a marking that says 'if the line in the graph reaches this, the utilisation is 100%'

[dusky ore]

ok thx

[somber jacinth]

What’s the best gpu to pair with a Ryzen 9 5900x

[somber jacinth]

I’m thinking 4070 super

[winter patrol]

70 super or 70 sti

[unique otter]

whatever the budget allows, 50 series card though which will be released in 1-2 months

[quaint dew]

4090

[vapid ruin]

4070ti super, 4090 seems too overkill.

[quaint dew]

they havent specified a budget

[vapid ruin]

oh?

[quaint dew]

we cant realistically argue that anything will be the best

so 4090 is objectively the best card there since they havent given any additional criteria

[quaint dew]

what parts do you have right now
what is your budget and country
what are you using the pc for

[vapid ruin]

I guess 4090/5090 is a good choice then

[bright briar]

damn bro you got the v bucks for it?

Intel's newest "0x114" microcode apparently is unable to resolve the troublesome performance issues with Arrow Lake processors, as new benchmarks show further degradation.
