[unkempt lake]

And wireless

And light

I don't mind the sound quality taking a small hit

[umbral heron]

Decent sound + wireless = expensive, it's that simple

[unkempt lake]

I just comfort wireless and light is my personal priority

[gusty nexus]

Good sound and comfort is life changing when you find a product that offer that but you will not get thoses product with every feature that you want for a cheap amount of money

[unkempt lake]

500cad at most

I'm open to recommendations

I wouldn't say 500cad is cheap

Those seem crappy

I can literally go outside and take out the trash and still get audio

With my wireless headset

I'm not the one with a broken headset

I guess the best choice for me would be to have 2 headsets lol

Which... sounds ridiculous

1 for when i want comfort 1 for when i want sound

[thin marsh]

Silly gaming setup break

[unkempt lake]

Anyhow still all of this kinda proves my point there's a market for cheaper "gaming" stuff

[wheat plume]

The Kinect is so nostalgic to me OMFH

[unkempt lake]

Literally asked for a recommendation, none seem to fit whay i want

[umbral heron]

So cheap but still expensive shit that'll break after few months?

[ashen spindle]

I mean

[wheat plume]

O.o

Hall Effect xd

[unkempt lake]

I had my current ones for uh... idk how many years now

I did replace my battery myself

Was easy

4 screws

Only thing that wore out on them

Which btw anyone knows if the maxwell battery is user replacable

Or is it a pain in the ass to replace

[gusty nexus]

You litteraly need everything for 10 dollars like yeah

[thin marsh]

i respond to your funny

[unkempt lake]

I told you up to 500cad find me something

You couldn't

[wheat plume]

Ate the Moondrop Edge on ear or over ear????
Some people say one way and some say the other way .-.

[unkempt lake]

Damn

Seems like a pita

[lyric hatch]

Over ear

[gusty nexus]

Yes but it's not because it's cheap that it should be bad but every cheap gaming stuff is really horribly bad
There's a market for everything

[rough osprey]

under ear 😳

[gusty nexus]

What's 500 cad

[wheat plume]

They say that
But a lot of people say that they can't fit their ears inside the cups and they fit like on ears instead

[unkempt lake]

350usd

[thin marsh]

let me google it for you

[umbral heron]

Just get wired ones and move on

[unkempt lake]

322 euros

[lyric hatch]

Probably fine unless you have a big head/ears

[unkempt lake]

I don't want wired ones

[lyric hatch]

well

[gusty kiln]

Audeze maxwell ezpz

[gusty nexus]

No brand on earth makes something really comfortable and wireless at the same time

Same

[unkempt lake]

Too heavy

[wheat plume]

AAYYOOO

[gusty nexus]

You never tried, it's not because the weight is heavy that it will fell heavy or not comfortable

[unkempt lake]

I have comfy and wireless headphones on rn, took me a while to find something decent but i did

[gusty kiln]

Seperate mic gang

[wheat plume]

Too expensive and complicated....

[gusty nexus]

It's not compared to what the market offer

[thin marsh]

i will keep my panasonic tuner focusrite combo till it breaks and beyond

[wheat plume]

Need all these types of connectors and shit

[gusty kiln]

Lol no?

[wheat plume]

And a mic stand

[gusty kiln]

Usb go brrr

[unkempt lake]

The market offers nothing you said so yourself

[glass flint]

Tomorrow I have a test on RAID and data recording methods. Guess who just got home and has less than 7 hours of sleep left.

[unkempt lake]

I have no options

[fickle ore]

I'm gaming on these https://www.genelec.com/g-two there pretty good. Dont miss headphones tbh.

[ashen spindle]

you can get a usb standalone mic starting at like 5€...

[wheat plume]

Every USB mic I've heard sounds shit

[umbral heron]

Definitely, no way I could ever use headset mic

[unkempt lake]

Usb mics are fine

Unless your cat drops it

[fickle ore]

3.5 mm mic >> 8 euro ama.de

[wheat plume]

stylish

Nah...these look ugly :")

[gusty nexus]

Fifine mics are really good for the price, it beat every gaming brand

[unkempt lake]

I don't like that the maxwells don't have a user replacable battery

[gusty kiln]

Imagine not being able to walk away from a conversation in discord

[wheat plume]

They all beat gaming brands xd

[gusty nexus]

Because your headphone has one ?

[unkempt lake]

Yeah...?

[ashen spindle]

yeah I dont care, either ones are had for cheap and are just fine

[fickle ore]

Na they pretty good looking

[umbral heron]

I don't think there even exist headphones that's be good for you

[fickle ore]

damn what 80s is that

[thin marsh]

idk

i got them tho

[gusty nexus]

Same for iem, earbuds..

[thin marsh]

not my photo i don't have a nice one

[wheat plume]

There's only one shop in Ireland that sells these speakers LOL OK

[unkempt lake]

If it wasn't replacable i'd have trashed these long ago

Because well

I replaced it

Cuz i had them for years

[gusty nexus]

Everything is replaceable with enough will

[ashen spindle]

still waiting for sennheiser to return back to greatness and have good wireless headphones like they had 15 years ago rip

[thin marsh]

https://shop.fairphone.com/fairbuds-xl

it doesn't get more user replacable than those

under 500 cad

[lyric hatch]

Yeah but they also sound garbage so that's a slight trade off

[gusty nexus]

There's always a tradeoff in audio and in most thing

[thin marsh]

everything has tradeoffs

i love using the crt tv for the vibe one thing i dislike is the interlacing it garbles the edges of things

[unkempt lake]

I was gonna say ooo

That seems like exactly what i want

Then you say they sound bad

._.

depression

[gusty nexus]

Can have amazing mic for 40 dollars with just one cable to plug and without installing software to use it

[digital cliff]

yep

[lyric hatch]

My samson q2u was a good buy

[unkempt lake]

Does someone just make... a good fucking product

That can do more than 1 or 2 things right

[gusty nexus]

Yeah a lot of brand but if the perfect product for you doesn't exist you just need to create it by modding stuff or creating something from scratch

[thin marsh]

there's a guy that makes mice from 3d printed titanium

(pc mice)

[gusty nexus]

Sounds cool

[thin marsh]

looks cool

[unkempt lake]

Maybe what i want is just a bit too niche

[thin marsh]

https://precisiongaminggear.com/

[thin marsh]

you wanted a good sounding wireless headphones with replacable battery right?

[unkempt lake]

Yep

And comfort

[dull hollow]

im not even sure what im looking at xd

[gusty nexus]

No it's just that the people that want those type of product are already satisfied with the bad product currently on the market, why make or changed something when it already sell like crazy ?

[thin marsh]

a fucked up mouse

it is light tho

[dull hollow]

fuck the mouse 3d printed titanium sounds more interesting

[unkempt lake]

Literally i just want what i have but a step above

Lol

[gusty nexus]

Yeah but it's requiered to have more money to get something like that, that's how things work but also it's not because you will get something pricy that it will be better

[dull hollow]

[thin marsh]

tis looks very stpid

also found the vid i learned abt the mouse from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UOHQEJtrfo

[dull hollow]

how do we feel about Thermalright TL-C14CW-S fans

[rough osprey]

worst fan ever

[dull hollow]

type shit

[thin marsh]

i forgor there's a website with a lot of reviews for things https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/fairphone/fairbuds-xl-wireless look at them graphs and decide for yourself it's a neat website

[gusty nexus]

Arctic P12max best fan for the money

[dull hollow]

does arctic sell a 5 pack of white fans

[thin marsh]

i think they do

[gusty nexus]

idk

[dull hollow]

i cant find any

[thin marsh]

they do

[dull hollow]

only single fan

they only have the 5 pack for the black ones

and its just the normal p12s

[gusty nexus]

They have pack of 5 for p12max

[thin marsh]

it looked like they did

sorry

[dull hollow]

i found a 5 pack of p12 maxes on newegg but its black

[gusty nexus]

No worry

[rough osprey]

im running 3 t30s at max rpm but thats just me #silent

[gusty nexus]

Yeah, I think they don't exist in white

[gusty nexus]

[dull hollow]

single fan pain

[gusty nexus]

Look on their official website maybe you can find a pack of 5 ?

[thin marsh]

i got 2 arctic bionix f12s to cool my rig and one noctua redux12

[thin marsh]

i checked the website it looks like they do but when you clikc to switch to 5 pack it changes to black

[magic minnow]

I use these

[thin marsh]

(do as i say not as i do i bought a enterprise grade asus mobo bc i liked that it was green and that it had a pci slot and bc i needed a differend b550 mobo that could undervolt 5800x3d)

[magic minnow]

[pale sigil]

reeeeee my g703 mouse wheel came out of place

it wont work

[dull hollow]

my pc is gonna be so messy bro

black case 3 white lian li fans 5 black arctic fans

[magic minnow]

As long as it cools

[dull hollow]

bro is edging that suprim card

[thin marsh]

i had to cut the fan holes myself bc i liked the way the case front looked

[dull hollow]

my case is literally just not big enough xd

[thin marsh]

for what

[dull hollow]

gpu

[thin marsh]

i took a dremel to the drive rack to make it fit

[dull hollow]

also i still havent decided on the case (ive spent the whole day looking around)

[thin marsh]

what gpu

[dull hollow]

no like id be cutting into the structure of the case

[thin marsh]

and cooler

[dull hollow]

erm well not really, i just need a fan in front of the gpu

and current case just doesnt support putting fans on the other side to where youd mount the fans

[thin marsh]

the front

or the bottom

[dull hollow]

gigabyte 9070xt aorus

hold on

front panel isnt on

[thin marsh]

ight

[rough patrol]

i would have suggested phanteks g400a but you want other fans so maybe not

[dull hollow]

was looking into the lian li 216

[thin marsh]

preffered marketplace?

[dull hollow]

oh it fits

[dull hollow]

^

[dull hollow]

id prefer not to buy fans

im taking the 3 lian li fans from that case and swapping it over to whatever i get

@dull hollow Fractal Design Pop Silent TG

i was gonna get a nzxt h7 flow (2022) cause theres a sale but theres no stock

[dull hollow]

[thin marsh]

[dull hollow]

ehhh, it doesnt work on nzxt elites

iffy on side front panel intakes

[thin marsh]

[dull hollow]

phanteks g400a is interesting

lookin at GN review

[rough patrol]

🤔

[ashen spindle]

its custom hardware

even says it in the article if you get past headlines 😛

[lyric hatch]

No FSR4 for lowly desktop RDNA2 users

[ashen spindle]

0 chance for rdan2, rdna3 maybe if you get lucky in less efficent form

[unkempt lake]

I did

Still interesting tho

[lyric hatch]

Looking at the DLSS 4 changes for older cards the performance gains go out the window with the new model imagine it would be the same for FSR4

Well the normal model is good but the ray reconstruction model has massive performance loss

[magic minnow]

I have that one used to use it

[pale sigil]

Usually they upgrade something and it costs more to run slower

Or government min went up

[rain quiver]

That kinda makes sense

I aint complaining tho cuz my upload was bad

[rain quiver]

I doubt that

[wheat plume]

Probably gonna steal more of your data now that the connection is faster

[pale sigil]

Looks like they changed the lines to full fiber

[wheat plume]

Probably yeah

Fiber would only be that much faster???

[rain quiver]

[rain quiver]

Theyre not gonna give me the max speed for free

[pale sigil]

Well it's more the minimum went up

[rain quiver]

When i used to be on fiber i had 1 gig up and down, then i moved to another area where fiber isnt available only coaxial, so my current plan is 500 up and 200 down

Now its 600 down and 300 up

[wheat plume]

Meanwhile I'm in an area where only mobile data is decently priced .-.

[pale sigil]

Did you mean 500 down 200 up

[rain quiver]

Yeah

[wheat plume]

It's too expensive to get cable connection here
And there's a Fair Usage Policy too so they slow you down if you use too much data in a month

[pale sigil]

Because that's generous on coaxial

[rain quiver]

Yeah coaxial cant do high upload speeds

I mixed em up

[pale sigil]

If can

[rain quiver]

Only fiber speeds are symmetrical is what they told me

[pale sigil]

*it can

[rain quiver]

So they lied to me

[wheat plume]

😅

[rain quiver]

Their most expensive plan has 200 upload, they said thats the max

[rain quiver]

Is that total or just your phone

[rain quiver]

I think my internet usage is about a tb per month

[pale sigil]

We are on 5 atmni think?

[wheat plume]

Phone

[pale sigil]

Yesnt

it can but it's amongst many people

[rain quiver]

So they moved from 3.0 to 3.1?

Or to 4.0

[pale sigil]

So if they let everyone use max upload it would be unstable

[wheat plume]

I had to redownload a lot of games on my steam deck cause my SD card got corrupted somehow so it needed to be reformatted :/
Hence the nearly 300gb data usage

[rain quiver]

Thats why fiber is king

[pale sigil]

Nothing compared to my hospital use

[rain quiver]

I was paying less for way more

[wheat plume]

Yeh I bet 😅

[pale sigil]

Ye I have 1000/1000

[rain quiver]

Thats my old plan i miss it, only $60 per month including eero pro routers

Now its $65 per month for 300 up and 600 down (including the free upgrade) which i dont need more ngl i live by myself

Ima take a look at their plans see if the numbers changed

[pale sigil]

I think I hit 500gb?

On my mobile network

Before that was around 300-350

[rain quiver]

Im always downloading shit on my pc so i use 1000 gb every month

Nvm im wrong

Wtf do you do

Whats that

Why do you do that

How many movies you gotta download to use 10tb

How many movies do you watch per day like gah damn

But why

You think you the batman of movies

[wheat plume]

Yeah.. If they remove them after you paid for them .-. then this is the best way to fix it

[rough osprey]

can someone make a service where u can buy and stream in bluray quality

in legal

lemme stream that shit

dont wanna collect physical stuff + use bluray player

make it work for the money

[wheat plume]

Streaming Blu-ray sounds hella expensive

[astral haven]

Its absolutely possible to do since the cost of rights for the movies would be the same, only difference is the streaming cost
bluray bitrate is less than double 8k youtube, and it is less than 8k60hdr youtube

if you start with the master and direct encode to av1 or vp9, it would probably be higher quality than bluray for the same bitrate as youtube's max

maybe, but youll be paying for the content not the bandwidth if you are a big player setting this up

[rough osprey]

128Mbps max with avg below 100 🤔

[wheat plume]

YouTube can do 8k???

[astral haven]

oh wow i was way wrong, best youtube has is higher bitrate than bluray

[rough osprey]

maybe we got better lossless compression then what they use

[astral haven]

8k 60fps in hdr

[rough osprey]

since forever

[wheat plume]

Bruh ok wow

[rough osprey]

only real use is probably VR

[astral haven]

I have a fucking deja vu moment irl rn wtf is this

[ocean oxide]

a deja vu

thats what it is

xd

[jaunty rose]

Wtf I just found an rtx 5080 at msrp

Its funny that you assume I have money

[ocean oxide]

is it really that bad?

[jaunty rose]

If you’re upgrading from a 4070ti or higher yeah

[gusty kiln]

hopefully restrocks are soon tm

[jaunty rose]

You do realize 9070xt is not at msrp rn 😭

[ocean oxide]

so its just not worth it at all?

damn

I was hoping it would be

you assume I have money

I got 5 dollars to my name

[jaunty rose]

Dunno if Im allowed to post this stuff but here’s the 5080 if somebody wants one

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-geforce-rtx-5080-16gb-oc-gddr7-pci-express-5-0-graphics-card-with-triple-fan-black/6616903.p?skuId=6616903

[unkempt lake]

You're allowed to

But 5080 for 1k usd nah

[empty wren]

Watch it be sold out tomorrow

[unkempt lake]

Not a good deal

[jaunty rose]

For sure

[empty wren]

I remember a buddy bought the 3070 from best buy

I checked the same link was already gone it was a founders edition

[jaunty rose]

Bro people are lucky to have a founders edition at msrp

[empty wren]

I gotta ask, people get it is because it looks industrial right, other cards would have better performance

And then again Nvidia does not leave much margins for oems or so I heard

[jaunty rose]

Why did MSI and AMD stop partnering? msi makes good looking cards :(

[empty wren]

I see

[gusty kiln]

think MSI went whole hog into the GPP program

and that wasn't good for business and AMD punished them for it

[empty wren]

Like the kingpin stuff right

Yeah cherry picking would cost them a lot more

Well I woulda figured card with three fans would have better cooling than stock

[jaunty rose]

Man I blame crypto and bitcoin for the gpu prices we have now like wtf 😭

[gusty kiln]

is silicon lottery still around selling binned cpus?

[rain quiver]

How come they dont ship

It says not available within 250miles

[gusty kiln]

there was a small company named that

[jaunty rose]

Probably for the exact reason that its high in demand

[gusty kiln]

not sure if they are still around

I know

they sold cpus based on stable OC frequencies

popular during the Intel stagnation era

cuz 4 core forever, so you can only get better with frequencyt

[unkempt lake]

Silicon lottery

[unkempt lake]

They went bankrupt

I liked their binning tests

Was always fun to see in that % your chip would fall

[gusty kiln]

i wonder if this is worth it

or would the move be to wait for oled displays to become cheaper

[balmy vector]

I’d probably look at the xg27aqdmg to see its price compared to that one

[umbral heron]

End of the world, what the hell is happening?! Did I wake up in alternate universe?
I needed a tool to vectorize a PNG file, most of them allows you to edit images but then you need to pay
The only good one and completely free... was from Adobe

[reef patrol]

Adobe of all things? Hah.

But yeah. Finding good vector conversion tools is nigh impossible for free.

[umbral heron]

Well, in the end it left some weird artifacts on path, so...
So no really a good online tool to do so for free Just settled for Inkscape, did everything perfectly

[umbral heron]

I swear Mozilla, can you do one thing right?
I had vertical tabs, could close it with middle-click, all was good in the world
But nooooo, they had to add those stupid close tab circles thanks to which I accidentally close tabs now, thanks a lot!

[frozen ingot]

they were way better to type on than any shitty touchscreen could hope to compete with

I do miss me those qwerty phones

[devout raptor]

im contemplating whether to look for a used 7800x3d or buy a new 9800x3d

the performance difference wasnt insane

i also have a nonsuper 4070, would that be a bottleneck?

[raw zephyr]

depends on the pricing

personally i would go for the 9800x3d if i wasn't on the 7800x3d already

[umbral heron]

There will always be some bottleneck, and ideally you want your GPU to be that
Go for 9800X3D if it's not that much expensive than 7800X3D, otherwise go for whichever one

[vocal otter]

Do I need to replace the stabilizer when using Geon RAW HE?

[reef patrol]

Don't believe so? It's mostly for if your keycaps are a little funny and pop off when pushed

[digital cliff]

if I get a wireless mouse and plug the dongolo on the back of my pc which is under the table and like 1meter+ away from where my mouse actually is, is it gonna be completely disconnect-y and unusable?

always see people with the dongle like 1micrometer away from their mouse

[devout raptor]

im on a 5600x

[reef patrol]

I'd say it depends on the mouse. I have to keep my Logitech Superlight dongle on the front, without having the case sit in between the two anywhere. Otherwise it'll be slightly glitchy at times.

[digital cliff]

i suppose I can always return stuff if it doesn't work, or just not take the risk and get a wired one

my XM1 is getting annoying with its disconnect issues

[raw zephyr]

it will work, but for optimal connection you should have it not more than 30cm away or something, it says in the manual at least

[digital cliff]

well past the warranty and nothing I can do about it it seems, otherwise I'd fix it

[raw zephyr]

the dongle is convenient because you also use it to charge the mouse

[digital cliff]

if it has to be on the table next to it then I don't exactly want a wireless one, that's all

[hasty surge]

Hi guys, i already decided everything else except the gpu, can someone tell me about the best gpu under 680$, maybe the 7800xt 7900gre 5070 or is there any other option

[balmy vector]

Have you tried threatening it

[raw zephyr]

i used many mice the way you described and it works just fine, just a hassle to charge; that's why i switched to a wired mouse again

[digital cliff]

yeah I might just get the XM2 wired

[devout raptor]

op1 8k is the best

[hasty surge]

Bump

[digital cliff]

too small and I don't really want 8k

[devout raptor]

[raw zephyr]

xm2we is pretty good

[digital cliff]

yeah i was looking at that but the wireless scares me

[raw zephyr]

i think you will hate charging it though coming from the xm1, it always comes at the worst time as well

[umbral heron]

Dongle will work in up to like 2 meters with no problem
But charging is always pain in the ass

[digital cliff]

oh the dongle isn't even something you can plug in, it's like a massive brick

goes on the end of a cable I guess

yeah I'm just gonna get the xm2 wired one of these days

[umbral heron]

It's still disconnecting? Firmware update didn't help?

[raw zephyr]

should be a standard usb-a

[digital cliff]

yeah still disconnecting

[raw zephyr]

you got the xm1 first revision? with the rubber cable?

[digital cliff]

uhhh no clue

paracord cable though

[raw zephyr]

they later swapped it with a paracord

[digital cliff]

yeah

[raw zephyr]

they used to sell a replacement cable for fairly cheap, not sure if they do that anymore though, the mouse is quite old atp

[digital cliff]

yeah honestly I'd want to fix it but buying a new cable (if that even is the issue) and new skates is half a mouse already

[raw zephyr]

yup, anyways, both the xm2we and xm2 wired are a good choice

[umbral heron]

Wired

[modern sky]

Honestly I love the feel of wired mice

[raw zephyr]

i will just add another thing to mix it up, you can try taking a look at the lamzu atlantis and the ninjutso sora, i'd say more niche and veery slightly different shapes, but still very similar; both wireless

[digital cliff]

I think I'll just get the xm2 if EGG support doesn't want to try sending me a cable and skates to try to fix it

I don't want any other mouse, I want this mouse the shape's awesome

[raw zephyr]

undestandable, it used to be my main for many years until i switched to the op1 😅

[digital cliff]

i'd wanna try the op1 but i think it's gonna be too small

tell that to planck length mouse 🐁

[devout raptor]

wireless has been flawless for years

[hasty surge]

Bump

[umbral heron]

9070XT
Or 9070 for that matter

[misty matrix]

not so sure about that

userbenchmkr reccomends against that card

[umbral heron]

[balmy vector]

Best review site

Very unbiased

[frozen ingot]

he's just telling it like it is

[misty matrix]

[hasty surge]

That’s around 920$

[digital cliff]

that's why I was asking if it will work with the dongle plugged in at the back of the pc

but it looks like all the dongles are big bricks that are meant to go after a cable, not in the port directly anyway

i don't want to block 7 other ports and I also don't want it on the table

and I also don't want it to not work when it's like over a meter away with 40mm of wood between mouse and pc

[devout raptor]

gpx has that classic mini dongle and works from meters away

[digital cliff]

but I want an XM

i like the shape

[devout raptor]

not sure about other mixe but id assume it should from

Yeah I doubt it should be an issue if its behind your pc and not 1mm away

[raw zephyr]

no no, it's just a usb-c to usb-a adapter, the dongle itself is usb-a

better shown here i guess

usb-c cable plugged into a usb-c to usb-a female adapter

and usb-a dongle at the end :d

[digital cliff]

still am probably gonna get the wired one because it's cheaper and doesn't need to be charged and comes in the white frost colorway that I like

[raw zephyr]

yup, that one looks neat

[digital cliff]

hoping EGG support will just send or sell for cheap a cable kit and I can try fixing the current one

but I'm 3 years out of warranty already so I doubt it

[raw zephyr]

they used to have this purple frost color of the op1, i think they stopped making it though, can barely find it

[digital cliff]

yeah I like that one but would want white accents instead haha

[raw zephyr]

that could look interesting

[devout raptor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/df6sjn

the build i was thinking of doing

i have the gpu already

[ashen spindle]

You can save a decent bit on ssd/cooler/psu

Sn850 or similar should be cheaper for 2tb, closer to 100$

30-40$ air cooler will do the job just fine as well and the psu is almost double the price of what it should be

Boards is difficult if it needs to be a small one but also check if they still have something like a hdv b650 that used to be around 120$

[devout raptor]

you can ignore the prices im not getting these prices anyway

europe + 25,5% vat

[ashen spindle]

I mean prices are like the only thing that decides if a selection is good or bad lol

Just select the country you are in and it shows you prices for you…

[devout raptor]

oh i didnt know that

[fair gull]

can always buy a white and purple frost

[fair gull]

https://www.endgamegear.com/nl-nl/gaming-mice/op1-8k

oh wait the white one uses black as well

why

[severe phoenix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/1jan4gk/i_made_headphones_that_turn_your_actual_head_into/

[cursive summit]

Oh lord that's ew

That's the mouse I use though, it's good if not for doubleclicking lel

Ah there's new firmware, let's see if that fixes it

[fair gull]

idk what youre even yappin about

[cursive summit]

I don't know what you don't know

[digital cliff]

white frost uses white

but white uses black buttons

I don't know why they decided that's how it should be

[fair gull]

arent they? mine seems fine

[proper horizon]

hm.. Is it Bayerdynamic DT199999999999999 Pro Ultimo Gold Platinium Highend Custom ?

[misty matrix]

no, its riven mod

[proper horizon]

anyways with those ear pads, head support looks comfortable... but not sure about sound quality :/

[analog sinew]

bruh asrock gave me a heart attack. i was removin pcie slot cover screws and unfortunatelyvdropped one and near that area is an unpopulated pad with solder

i thought i was cooked

[old marlin]

dlc slot

[old marlin]

dw, my fav headphone is a frankenstein made out of 2 headphones and a lot of 3d printed parts

[proper horizon]

can U share a picture? btw. projects as above ( from pud.com) for me are rather funny and very interesting art designs showing limitless designed imagination but not for daily use 😄

[old marlin]

it's philphones with a conversion to have a capra headband

[proper horizon]

looks not so bad tbh , 3d print could be better but still its not too bad. Are drivers from audio technica or just a cover mesh with logo?

[digital cliff]

I went to the pc store since I was around anyway, to try the OP1 and it was wayy too small

I got the translucent xm2 in the end

to me it was immediately apparent I couldn't use it

it's like a travel mouse for laptops

[digital cliff]

let's see if EGG wants to help me with fixing the XM1, I can then sell it to someone

otherwise not sure what I'll do with it now, feels like shit throwing away electronics

[digital cliff]

well, they decidedly are unwilling to help me

[reef patrol]

Not even at cost? That's bad service.

[digital cliff]

yeah I also specified I'd be willing to pay

oh well, I suppose I'll just salvage the clicky bits and encoder for fun and throw it away

[nimble arch]

10 Gbps backhaul which is pretty cool

Would be somewhat useful in the UK as multi-gigabit packages are becoming more widespread

[pale sigil]

My battery is fucked

I've had it on power save all day

Worst phone I've ever bought

[unkempt lake]

get an iphone

[bright briar]

dat is niet goed

[unkempt lake]

Android and battery management sadly never went well with each other

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-invincible-gif-21644488

[unkempt lake]

You can't say that iphones don't have good battery management

[pale sigil]

Idk

Unless they magically fixed it this gen

Every iPhone user I've met is always charging

Mums iPhone 16 plus seems decent though

[unkempt lake]

Every android user i met owns a charger

And drinks water

[bright briar]

fr

[unkempt lake]

And breathes air

[bold coyote]

im very curious to what they do with their phone. Unless youre 24/7 using it on max brightness and playing moba games, I dont know why you always should be charging

[pale sigil]

Samsung seems to be the best with battery but you need to spend more than I want to.

[pale sigil]

Usually discord/Facebook etc lol

[unkempt lake]

I only charge at the end of the day

[pale sigil]

It doesn't last till the next day? Pft

[unkempt lake]

And i'd say i'm a pretty intense user

[unkempt lake]

Regular 14 pro smol

[bold coyote]

unless I doomed scrolled all day and playing my mobile games, I dont need to charge every day

got an iphone 13

[pale sigil]

Tbh it's iOS I just just don't like

Legit all I do is discord and Whatsapp really

I have no games and YouTube I rarely use

Today I used it because I couldn't be bothered taking my tablet into the bathroom

Pixel 7a has been shit from day 1

[bold coyote]

im both and ios and android user, both have their pros and cons

[unkempt lake]

Same

[pale sigil]

100% both have their pros and cons

[ashen spindle]

Why does the OS matter if your screen time in 99% if time is in the app

[unkempt lake]

Generally stuck with ios for my phones and android from my tablet

[halcyon moss]

yeah its interesting, not even too expensive either.
but im happy with my gen 6 aps

[pale sigil]

It's just there's so many small things that drive me nuts on iOS

There's pretty much nothing that does the same for me on Android.

[fair gull]

sadly they havent fixed the 2.4ghz yet afaik

so the u6 is still better

[ashen spindle]

Like what

[nimble arch]

I'd love a Ubiquiti home networking setup, especially if I had my own place.

[pale sigil]

iOS has gotten insanely better though

[unkempt lake]

Its nice nowadays

Before i could see the annoyances bit nowadays

... literally bone

nonr

NONE

[nimble arch]

What's the issue exactly?

[fair gull]

general connectivity issues on the u7 series and 2.4ghz

doesnt matter how new or old the device is they just lose connection all the time

i replaced my u7 order with a u6 after rma

no issues anymore

[halcyon moss]

o thats bad. you got a source?

[fair gull]

only my own experience

id be surprised if they used other 2.4ghz chips in those new u7 models

[nimble arch]

I'm using my ISP router currently and only have one WiFi 7 device so even an ASUS ROG router would be a huge upgrade

[unkempt lake]

For the one wifi 7 device

[fair gull]

idk why youd even invest into heavy wifi gear for 1 device

[unkempt lake]

Realistically unless the isp router lacks range because your place is really big welp it's probably fine for your casual needs

[halcyon moss]

asus rog router is so pricy

[pale sigil]

• Navigation is inconsistent
• File navigation is ass
• Doing anything at all that requires a computer is a pita, thankfully iTunes isn't needed now.
• how everything is in settings vs apps
• keyboard sucks compared to android ones, even swiftkey
• really don't like animations
• I don't like how limited the home screen is

[unkempt lake]

What kinda crazy shit do you do on wifi anyways

[pale sigil]

There are loads of small ones

[nimble arch]

I have other WiFi devices but only one that supports WiFi 7

That was a poorly worded sentence

[pale sigil]

I remember watching Linus video and thinking omg thank you

It's better but still annoying

[nimble arch]

Plenty of 6E enabled devices though

[unkempt lake]

I'm actually still running 5ghz wifi at home

[fair gull]

same

[unkempt lake]

I have... 2 wifi 6 devices

Not worth it

[pale sigil]

And their eco system is pointless if you only have an iPhone

[unkempt lake]

I can max out my speeds on wifi 5

[fair gull]

5ghz barely reaches everywhere so why would i bother with 6

[unkempt lake]

So why would i care

[pale sigil]

I also can't use my watch with it )although it's the same with apple watch and android)

[unkempt lake]

That too 6 fenerally has worse range

[fair gull]

the u7 had 6ghz but i honestly didnt care to even test it

[unkempt lake]

I only have an iphone

My only apple device

Lol

Dont even own airpods

[digital cliff]

need itunes if you wanna put music on it

[fair gull]

or recover the device from firmware failure

[unkempt lake]

does anyone still put music on their phones that way

Most people use spotify or other streaming apps

[fair gull]

does anyone still put music on their phones.

[digital cliff]

does anyone own local files?

[fair gull]

fixed it for ya

[digital cliff]

yes

[fair gull]

i personally do but im certain im not in any majority

[ashen spindle]

Yes I only download music on my pc I don’t use any streaming service so phone gets it from my pc

[digital cliff]

me2

[fair gull]

no one said that no one does quin it was more a joking question of how often that happens nowadays

and id say prob not too much anymore

[unkempt lake]

I have some music that i put on like my iphone 6 ages ago and idk it just transfered itself from phone to phone

Whenever i got new ones

[digital cliff]

ah-ha so the intended way of doing it is going back in time and doing it on the iphone 6

[unkempt lake]

i just haven't needed to since because it backed itself up in the cloud

[ashen spindle]

Oh I know I’m just replying saying that I do also have to use iTunes because it’s how I get
Music in my phone xD so it’s still quite needed

[unkempt lake]

And auto downloads itself after

Whenever i've had new phones

I did it once with all the non itunes music i had

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but sometimes people want new music after years lol

[pale sigil]

I thought you could use third party

[unkempt lake]

Well most of my purchased music was on itunes

This is just older shit i didn't have on there

Idk

[digital cliff]

it's unconfirmed whether 3rd party players can read files from the 1 corner iphone exposes to the pc as storage

[pale sigil]

My phone went from 20% to 8% in a second

And from 32% to 20% in a minute

[ashen spindle]

Wait so your point about not needing iTunes is because you buy all your music on iTunes?

[digital cliff]

if that's true, then yeah you can get a 3rd party player

[unkempt lake]

I can't remember when i last purchased music

[pale sigil]

Also no side loading

That's a major thing for me

[unkempt lake]

The hell you on about

[halcyon moss]

kind of a thing now in the EU

[pale sigil]

Don't you dare say there is

[unkempt lake]

I've sideloaded on ios

[pale sigil]

Because yes but you need to renew every 7 days

[pale sigil]

Via third party store

[unkempt lake]

Unless you're in the EU

[unkempt lake]

It did itself automatically on wifi via altsevrer

[pale sigil]

I don't wanna do that though

I just want it to work

[unkempt lake]

It did just work

I never had to do it again

[pale sigil]

Stuff like revanced also won't work.

[pale sigil]

You're still relying on alt server

[unkempt lake]

When are you not home pleasant

[pale sigil]

I used to do all this and it drove me nuts

[unkempt lake]

I'm at least home once a week

[pale sigil]

I've had moments when I wasn't home and couldn't sign it.

[nimble arch]

I've got 40GB of music on my iPhone but it's all downloaded via Apple Music

[pale sigil]

It's stupid

Android side loading is vastly superior in every way, I use it a lot.

I install an apk and I'm done.

[unkempt lake]

Back to music tho

[pale sigil]

No having to renee nonsense

And no revanced 😉

[unkempt lake]

Basically i have around 5gb of non itnues shit

[pale sigil]

I have so many patched apps

[unkempt lake]

And then a few gb of itunes shit

Then the rest idk i just use youtube music

I dont pay for it anyways

I also don't pay for netflix

Or amazon prime

But in exchange i pay for disney plus

Wierd deal i have with my dad

And my brother

[digital cliff]

do you own the files you purchase in Apple Music or are you just paying for access to them? like can you extract the .alac or so somehow?

[unkempt lake]

It's just music it's not that deep

[nimble arch]

Aside from the stuff that's iCloud Music Library, so I own the CD or w/e, it's all secure

Given that it's a subscription service

[digital cliff]

what do you mean

[unkempt lake]

that you can literally just go on any website out there and listen to it free of charge

Who cares about actually owning it

Its so easy to access

[pale sigil]

And my phone died but I forgot how that mum used USB C in the car

[digital cliff]

yeah no

it's not free

and it's more inconvenient

[unkempt lake]

Literally if i listen to music its generally on youtube with ublock

[digital cliff]

nice, I don't

[pale sigil]

@worn adder you're not winning this discussion with fleimi xd

[unkempt lake]

Wrong dashi

[digital cliff]

still true though

[unkempt lake]

It's an opinion

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-fist-arthur-憤怒-gif-5794225

[unkempt lake]

You have yours i have mine

Also i say rename the fake dashi to like not dashi

[digital cliff]

that's true but also, I... didn't even ask you

i asked johners because I'm interested in the answer

[unkempt lake]

@digital cliff i also don't really listen to music much

[digital cliff]

not your opinion of it

[unkempt lake]

It's a public chat

[unkempt lake]

Tough shit

Go in dms if you want to talk to a single person

[digital cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-496001393010401237

[nimble arch]

The few albums I've purchased in iTunes, so like 2 or 3, are tied to the platform.

Is it ideal? Probably not but that's on par with most digital platforms regardless of the content type you're buying.

[unkempt lake]

what you know i'm right

[digital cliff]

yeah I mean, that's fair, they can do what they want of course

[rough patrol]

you can download albums you bought on itunes and do whatever you want with the mp3s

[nimble arch]

We probably do need wholesale changes to regulation regarding digital licensing. Stop Killing Games was broadly on the right tracks but it was too laser focused on one aspect of the market.

[digital cliff]

conflicting info now

[unkempt lake]

I put mine in gta 5

With the self radio

[nimble arch]

I can't say I've gone out of my way to download an iTunes store purchase to then listen on a non-Apple device.

[unkempt lake]

was a long ass time ago tho

[nimble arch]

So I really wouldn't know.

[unkempt lake]

But

It is possible

[marsh pewter]

you can do it entirely on device via sidestore

[unkempt lake]

You just open itunes go in the folder copy paste boom done

[marsh pewter]

android sideloading is still way better in every way tho

[unkempt lake]

Open in vlc if you want

[wind parrot]

yummers

[steady sail]

looks nice

[nimble arch]

TFW no 9999X3D

[cursive summit]

@pale sigil you bought the 5090?

[pale sigil]

Lol

[dull hollow]

time to test undervolting the 9070 xt by 30%

@bright briar marvel rivals is not worth it

shits insane

[bright briar]

it never is

what happened this time

[dull hollow]

0-6 storm refusing to swap

lord with the new thor skin btw

[bright briar]

bruh

the game i told you about with the strange

we had three people on tanks and no one would switch off

[dull hollow]

lets see if hitman3 decides to work today

[bright briar]

thank god the other team didnt switch to wolverine. The matchmaking gave me teammates on 10 lose streak and we managed to win but it was a close game

meanwhile i was on 6 win streak -_-

[dull hollow]

oh shit it does

i didnt even do anything since the last time i tried to play it

same drivers same windows version

[bright briar]

now im playing quickplay and its giving me bronze teammates in qp meanwhile the enemy team is gm3

[dull hollow]

it crashed putting everything at max settings 💀

okay so

hitman doesnt like me undervolting

or theres some other issues

[wind parrot]

my brother bought the 9070xt and its dogshit, somehow worse performance than the 3070 he use to have, he did everything correct, ddu, restart, install amd drivers. it just isnt working properly and performs worse than the 3070 he had before

is it just amd drivers being poopoo ?

[wind parrot]

feels nice :D

[unkempt lake]

Amd drivers are fine

[wind parrot]

is the card just bad ?

[unkempt lake]

Can't know with this little information

What's his cpu

[wind parrot]

i think he has a 5950x, 32gb of ram running at 3200mhz i think, a 850w power supply, with it being connected to two different cables into the psu

[unkempt lake]

Also what game has he tested

Has he tested at least more than 1 game

[wind parrot]

helldivers, which ran at like 30 fps less, same settings, and then tried vintage story, but doesnt load at all, just crashes

[nimble arch]

Cleared the shader caches?

[wind parrot]

for HD2 ?

[jaunty rose]

I think they mean in general

[steady sail]

Overall for everything

[jaunty rose]

Yeah

[unkempt lake]

Some games don't clear their shadercache

I remember a game or 2 i had to clear the shadercache manually for them after switching from nvidia to amd

[wind parrot]

there is no shadercache for NVIDIA anymore because DDU deleted them already

[steady sail]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3167233254

[wind parrot]

or are you talking about clearing it for AMD ?

[unkempt lake]

In the game's folders

Some have their own shadercache files

[wind parrot]

yeah but, that wouldnt explain why vintage story refuses to launch and just crashes

[unkempt lake]

Example i know NMS does

[unkempt lake]

No idea

Can he run 3dmark

[steady sail]

some games just meh

my friend has issues with fallout 4

[unkempt lake]

Fallout 4... i had issues with that game since the fucking 980

[wind parrot]

he deleted it for helldivers 2 and it still performs poopoo

[crisp granite]

maybe I have horseshoes up my ass, but I've never had issues with it

[unkempt lake]

Lies

Folon is based on fo4

[crisp granite]

FOLON is different

and the issues I've had with it were relatively minor and easily fixed

[unkempt lake]

You also installed a trillion mods thay have fixes

[unkempt lake]

Run a benchmark

[crisp granite]

...no
I install next to none

[unkempt lake]

Have him install 3dmark

[crisp granite]

F4 just...doesn't do that for me

on Xbox, my previous rig, and this one

vanilla F4 runs perfectly fine

[unkempt lake]

Also you didn't touch fallout on pc back when it was

New on release date on pc

You got into pc gaming late

I played it on launch night

And it was fucked

[crisp granite]

most games are fucked at launch
Besthesda was just a trendsetter

everyone else is a shitty imitation

[unkempt lake]

Also i remember the xbox release having crashes

And drops to 0 fps

[crisp granite]

horseshoes up my ass

[unkempt lake]

I'll say tho i never played it on xbox

But i remember DF made vids about it

[wind parrot]

3rmark wants to be paid for lmao

is this new ?

my install never wanted to be paid for

[reef patrol]

The base edition has always been free.

[wind parrot]

but doesn’t let him install time spy

or any at all

[marsh glade]

I haven't used it in a while, couldn't tell you

[reef patrol]

Works here.

[wind parrot]

he is running time spy rn

i’ll let you know if the results are dog shit or okay

[dull hollow]

since i have a 9070xt ill run 3dmark too for comparison

lemme just reset it for the default tune

[wind parrot]

ok

[dull hollow]

which partner is it cause itll have a little variation, some company ship the card with 300w tdp, others 340w

[wind parrot]

powercolor

23,153 is the score

seems in line with other results for the 9070xt

so helldivers 2 and vintage story just are bad with amd or ??((

[dull hollow]

i dont have either of those games xd

[wind parrot]

what score did you get in time spy ?

[dull hollow]

its still going

[wind parrot]

ah okay

[dull hollow]

i just started it

[dull hollow]

with a -10% power limit

i have a gigabyte aorus oc so some of the other settings might not be identical to your powercolor

[wind parrot]

strange

[pale sigil]

It's bad with any hardware

Game runs like shit

[wind parrot]

maybe helldivers is just not optimised for amd

[wind parrot]

230 gps with my 5090

[pale sigil]

Even on my 3080

5090 bud

[wind parrot]

yeah i’m

[devout raptor]

sn850x?

[wind parrot]

ik *

[devout raptor]

Im scouring sites

so far i have 4 different sites I gotta order from

[pale sigil]

https://youtu.be/VaaODIEYDow

[devout raptor]

also quick question

32,48 or 64 gb of ram?

Im planning on doing some video editing and wondered if 32gb is suffice

[pale sigil]

32gb

Can't see why you'd need more for video editing unless you're doing like high end 4k content

[wind parrot]

was just watching this video

when im editing videos my 32gb use to be used up, so when i upgraded i opted for 64gb

[steady sail]

[devout raptor]

fusion in davinci resolved lags on my pc, not sure if its a ram issue tho

[gusty kiln]

ooo my replacement Dbrand case has arrived

[jaunty rose]

Would a 5070ti work well with a 7 5800x3D?
Thinking about upgrading from my 3070

[unkempt lake]

Helldivers is cpu bound

Not gpu bound

Most of the time

Literally i told you to run 3dmark

To see if the card was performing fine

[wind parrot]

literally did if you read the messages above

[unkempt lake]

Oh i missed that

Yeah no your brother is just cpu bound in helldivers

Its not an amd thing

[wind parrot]

yee seems so sadly

[jaunty rose]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-dog-staring-at-sun-cute-dog-dog-closed-eyes-dog-staring-at-sunset-gif-10310895250239531072

[wind parrot]

vintage story runs worse on the amd card tho

like significantly worse

[unkempt lake]

It's one of the few games i saw gigantic improvements going from a 9700k go a 7800x3d

[unkempt lake]

Never heard of it

Couldn't tell you

[jaunty rose]

They got a lot of 7800x3D’s at my local walmart at msrp which is cool, but I dont have am5 or money so it doesn’t really matter to me lol

[wind parrot]

yeah who knows

[unkempt lake]

seems like a small indie game most likely lack of optimization

Can't even find any info on the engine it uses

[sharp badger]

3080 defo showing it's age 😤

[wind parrot]

yeah my time spy score on my 5090 was like 33k

or something ridiculous

[sharp badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf8uN4VGCCs Hopefully they'll get the persons home

[rough patrol]

mods!

[unkempt lake]

I score 12600something on my xtx on timespy extreme

[devout raptor]

ended up buying the stuff

got some random as ram called "goodram irmd"

if the statement that ram brand doesnt matter is true then it was a banging deal

32gb 6000mhz cl30 36-36-76

[ashen spindle]

yes ram brands dont matter

[cursive summit]

Kinda, Trident sticks usually though you can trust to be reliable

Even if they use the same memory as everyone else tbf

Welcome back Dashi, hating things for no reason lel

[devout raptor]

good

[cursive summit]

Especially the Royal

[devout raptor]

I got the 850x m.2

[cursive summit]

RAM brands really only matter as far as warranty and reliability goes

[devout raptor]

ordered from 4 different places to minmax prices

speaking of warranty that might make it a hassle

I hope I can sell my old parts and get some money back

[unkempt lake]

They look super tacky

[devout raptor]

I have to wipe my hard drives properly before selling them

[unkempt lake]

Like halloween jewelry

[cursive summit]

Not that version

This looks good imo

Would fit a white build very much

The golden is a bit tacky

[unkempt lake]

The silver ones ain't as bad

The gold ones are an abomination

The silver... with rgb off maybe

[devout raptor]

i wonder if Ill need to upgrade my gpu

[analog sinew]

one day? likely

[devout raptor]

its a non super 4070 and ill pair it with a 9800x3d

[devout raptor]

what about now

[analog sinew]

well the market is fucked rn

[devout raptor]

thats true

[analog sinew]

i'd at least wait for the things to stabilize

then you can see

[devout raptor]

One option i thought of was to capitalize on the fucked market, sell it and get a 9070xt

[rain quiver]

I wonder if owning it makes me a russian spy

I love the fans i have

Cuz theyre made outta metal

Same w the ram and gpu

Yeah

[old marlin]

you mean because they are overpriced

[rain quiver]

I mean theyre the same price as fans like noctua

[old marlin]

yea but they perform worse

[rain quiver]

Theyre still good idc

I bought them cuz they look sexy and metal

From where i wanna stock up

I paid like $27

Oh yeah i saw those at the time but shipping was expensive so i paid a lil more and got em way quicker with free shipping

I wish i wasnt so lazy otherwise I’d upgrade my case to a fractal north RIGHT neow

But it takes so damn long
