Heya! I would appreciate some help with my motherboard as it apparently has USB 3.1 Type C port capability. This build is like 2017 and the case is a be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900. I think at the time I didn't think about anything Type C. Is there a way I can use the port? How would I even route that because my case doesn't have a Type C port?

vagrant reef
#

There's a USB -C port on the rear of the motherboard, no?

ashen spindle
#

If it’s rear then it’s just in the backside in the IO panel of the board

steady sail
ashen spindle
#

If it was something for the frontside it would say front

Get something like this and either drill out an existing PCI-E port plate to screw it in or get a 3D print.

I can't see a connector for the front on the motherboard

reef patrol
#

Your absolutely has one on the front according to the product page though.

vagrant reef
#

Usually sits next to the 24pin but I think that mobo is rear only

reef patrol
#

Oh wait is it the Mobo that's in question.

vagrant reef
#

Yeah

reef patrol
#

Nope. Too old.

vagrant reef
#

Yeah it looks too old unfortunately.

The USB-C port on the back would be the only way

reef patrol
#

Lot of effort to get a single C port on the front though tbh

ashen spindle
#

Don’t think that’s what the question was I think he was just confused about it saying usb c but there not being something for him to use the usbc connection because he mixed up front and rear?

sudden imp
#

Okay I have to ask theoretically what would happen if you drilled a hole In a pcb where no traces were present?

dull hollow
#

+1 hole

sudden imp
#

cool

#

Guess nothing would break then

ashen spindle
#

But you are unlikely to find such a spot

vagrant reef
#

Are you 100% there's no traces?

#

They run on layers that aren't always visible

ashen spindle
#

Because if you have like a 12 layer pcb you only see 2/12

reef patrol
#

The Mobo only has back facing USB C external connectors, no internal connectors.
The Case has a frontal C port, but lacks the internal connector on the mobo to connect that cable to.

So if they want to populate that port, they need a card like what I linked above.

ashen spindle
#

Well he talks about the board having usbc capability but only links to the rear IO so I assume he’s mistaking what that means and thinks it’s for a front port when it’s just a normal port in the backside of the case

lol i found a crt monitor at my dad's job and now i have a glorious 640x480 1998 crt monitor

and a wooting keyboard

i mean there is no discount for wooting anyway

Does anyone here have the 80HE keyboard? Idk if the rise is too much

#

The 60HE+ seems to be alot lower in design

vagrant reef
#

80HE comes with different risers

lyric hatch
atomic scarab
#

ooooooo

#

I thought on an unboxing it looked a lot higher I must of missed something

#

yea the main thing for me is if 60+ or 80

#

Its just a 20+ but 80 is newer while 60+ is more established

#

I mean the 60+ has existed longer so they tweaked it more, 80 is newer so there may be smaller flaws

#

No I mean like older models tend to be more refined such as how the new Nvidia GPUs have many glitches while older GPUs are more refined and dont do that

rough patrol
#

Both are good just choose the one that you like the layout of more

#

If you want arrow keys and/or f key row then go for 80he

#

Otherwise 60he is fine too

#

60he is more moddable tho, way more case options

atomic scarab

Alright

Uh huh...

yeah thats just a pointless article

there were memory issues and asrock posted about it and amd just did the same

none of their statement says that amd thinks thats the only issue or anything

Sorry for not having replied got kinda busy IRL. It apparently is the Z170 board not the Z270... So it is missing Type C capabilities I am guessing...

Apparently it's gonna be a 5070 competitor

#

I mean. Not from what I can tell but I have to use a USB extension with it. It goes into the arm with a Type C to A and then another extension... Type A to A...

halcyon moss

with more memory?

I guess 5070 ti ?

Weird so they’re gonna have 2 5070 competitors

#

Anything but make a high end gpu smh

halcyon moss
#

at every pricepoint

rain quiver
#

Also if gre is better than non xt and worse than xt then wtf is the price gonna be cuz the 2 we have now are only $50 apart?

#

I guess gre is fake news then

#

China didnt get the 9070 and 9070xt?

#

Why no restrictions on the gre then

#

Yeah this shit not adding up

#

Why did we get the gre from last gen then

#

I think its fake news

steady sail
#

The gre was china exclusive but later it launched into the global market

analog sinew
#

isnt china just takin the chips from shady suppliers anyway

umbral heron
#

They just buy it in Singapore from official retailers duck_bopping

analog sinew
#

one thing i find strange is

#

modern politics postures just like ye olden times, but they never act on anything

#

some of the comments that are made on other heads of state or things states do wouldve been casus belli in years past

ashen spindle
#

Gre likely is sitting between 9070 and 9060 and is basically a skin with cut down memory bandwidth so it’s a skit to make use of defective dies by having less hardware enabled

#

This is just ai hallucinating because they get sold in China just fine

Alr whatever I program radar systems in minecraft for fun

#

Have a good day

#

And thx for the tip Abt the wootility being a browser window

distant tapir
#

I do kinda hate how messed up things get when I use 480p

#

I remember wanting to play a game at that rez but I couldn't due to the window being too big to get it started

#

had to up the resolution to 600p, launch it and then lower it

thin marsh
#

Steam os handles that resolution very well

#

It all crumbles when I go into desktop mode

vagrant reef
#

Nothing beats the refresh rate of a CRT feelsgood

#

Unfortunately, the cathode can't be replaced, and that's what made it do good

#

Emulating it will never be the same

#

It's like playing car sounds through an electric cars speaker

#

I think it's Hyundai that added fake gears and revving too.

distant tapir
#

Not as clear in motion as a CRT yet

#

480 Hz oled still loses easily to crt

#

7680PPS UFO test taken by someone I know on another server

vagrant reef
#

They're just built different strong_creeper

distant tapir
#

I heard Mark is helping in development of oled displays that use the CRT beam simulation built-into the display

#

That will be intredasting

#

Especially if they can do scans that aren't dependent on the framerate like the LG CX/C1

rough osprey
#

can we do bfi first

distant tapir
#

Fullframe bfi sucks ape poo

fair gull
#

can we just do straight BCI images in my brain

distant tapir
#

It's a bad cope implementation

#

And yeah it looks bad at 60 Hz unlike subframe bfi

rough osprey
#

who cares about flicker

distant tapir
#

My eyes and brain

#

I use my crt at 60 hz for games and desktop (limitation of the adapter)

#

It's only visible on bright white stuff, like Discord in white mode

rough osprey
distant tapir
#

But when I tried the awful BFI implementation on my LG C4 it was much more visible overall

rough osprey
#

lowest i tried was 240hz 🤔

thin marsh
rough osprey
#

arent vr headsets using it below that

#

or whats the difference with that implementation

thin marsh
#

Only panel I deem the sucessor of CRT is the new qdel tech

rough osprey
#

like a black bar following the screen refresh from top to bottom?

distant tapir
#

I am fine with less than 120 Hz

#

I stop noticing flicker on my crt at around 80 hz

#

Maybe slightly less in the 70s or so

#

Oh wait you weren't referring to flicker I guess?

rough osprey
#

screen tech is moving too slow lowkey

#

where da 4k 1000hz at

yes, making a controllable wormhole is the next thing we need to do rather than 1khz monitor

There’s rarely servers in Florida for games, the most we get is servers in Georgia

How are you supposed to get the serial number from drives on Windows without using wmic? In recent versions of Windows 11 it's been removed.

iron wave
vagrant reef
#

Hope the panel and have a look pepelull

iron wave
#

That's not in Windows.

pale sigil
#

I'm mainly saying you can tell I wasn't on one but I guess it doesn't count for the newer ones

iron wave
#

I'm happy with my Fold but I wouldn't recommend it.

vagrant reef
#

If the panel has a window you can peer through it

iron wave
#

Wasn't there a tool that dumped basically all of the HW info as a giant tree?

#

msinfo32

#

That doesn't have the serial numbers. .-.

raw zephyr
#

hasn't wmic been replaced with powershell's Get-WmiObject ?

iron wave
#

I dunno, I just know they deleted wmic.

raw zephyr
#

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PhysicalMedia | Select-Object SerialNumber, Tag

iron wave
#

That's so much worse than wmic diskdrive get model,serialnumber and it doesn't work in cmd. .-.

raw zephyr
#

welcome to windows world

iron wave
#

IT DIDN'T EVEN WORK

raw zephyr
#

you can do something like this to run it in cmd 😅
powershell -command "Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PhysicalMedia | Select-Object SerialNumber, Tag"

iron wave
#
SerialNumber Tag
----------- ---
             \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
             \\.\CDROM0
#

The Windows way to delete existing stuff and replace it with more broken new versions is asinine.

raw zephyr
#

i tried running it and it shows the serial number correctly for me, also looking at the Get-WmiObject doc page, it seems that it has been replaced with Get-CimInstance

#

this is absurd

iron wave
#

Oh there was a type-o and it didn't error it just pretended there wasn't one. .-.

raw zephyr
#

at least the syntax seems to be same..Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PhysicalMedia | Select-Object SerialNumber, Tag

iron wave
#

Yeah.

#

I'm going to have to somehow teach other people at work how to do this.

#

I really hate how long PowerShell takes to start.

raw zephyr
#

i'd just make a batch that gets all the necessary info and stores it in a txt or something 🤷‍♂️

#

the windows photos app is so thoroughly dogshit

#

i am trying to do a full backup of all media on my phone and it cant handle it

#

i may be an edge case cause i havent cleared out my shit in like 10 years but cmon

#

for some reason apple and microsoft decided that you now have to use the shitty photos app to import shit

iron wave
#

Just use adb. :V

#

Oh, RIP.

rough patrol
#

you used to be able to just grab shit in file explorer and call it a day

last time i tried it only did 1/10 of my photos and most of them were corrupted as shit

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has improved battery life compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5. On average, users can expect around 2.5 hours of screen-on time with roughly 45-50% battery remaining when going to bed around 11PM, assuming moderate usage.
With heavier usage, the phone should offer 4-5 hours of screen-on time and about 10-20% battery remaining at night, which is considered excellent performance.

I'm all about my h265+AV1

ashen spindle

bit odd, most blackwell users would just stream av1?

yeah im a bit confused as well

#

or is 50 series just really bad with discords current h265

ashen spindle
#

could just be blackwell does have more issues we dont know lmao

nimble arch

Probably just a better encoding preset

ashen spindle
#

yeah but this is for the small subsection of people that dont have av1 but also h265 and dont just see the strema in 264

#

and with everything wanting to jump to av1 idk if it makes sense caring about it from discords point

neon vector
#

how do i properly set up analogue movement

#

it's not working properly for me

#

analogue movement. it's just not analogue. i used the analogue profile and turned on gamepad

#

every game.

#

for example brotato

#

or enshrouded

#

does it work for cs2?

#

yeah

#

yeah in enshrouded it's switching back and forth between gamepad and keyboard inputs

#

really confusing

#

i am not using my mouse

crimson wigeon
#

Make sure you don't have the same keys that are analog bound as digital in the games, so unbind WASD from movement for example. And yeah some games will just switch the prompts repeatedly. Complain to the devs that they should fix it

neon vector
#

oohhh i'll try

neon vector
crimson wigeon
#

Then that's a game does not support this properly issue, complain to the developers

neon vector
#

alright, does cs2 work?

crimson wigeon
#

Worked last time I tried

neon vector
#

i think i saw valorant work

#

kk i'll try

#

not working :(

#

cs 2 doesn't support controller at all

#

then w doesn't it work? what exactly do I have to do (sorry i'm still new to this)

crimson wigeon
#

You have to enable it, maybe set some cvars

neon vector
crimson wigeon
#

Yes

neon vector
#

do you remember how?

crimson wigeon
#

Somewhere in the settings is a controller section.
Or you can open the console and play around with the joy_ variables, maybe exec a 360 controller config file if that still exists

#

Not natively though. Steam deck translates the inputs

unkempt lake
#

Only with steam input enabled and it's like really shitty

vagrant reef
#

CS2 removed controller support

Literally it's just a profile with keyboard buttons mapped to the deck

#

Ysing steam input

#

Also runs like crap on there

#

And helf the time the anticheat freaks

vagrant reef
#

Yeah don't run CS on a steam deck, it's not worth it 😭

unkempt lake
#

even dock with a keeb and mouse its so broken

vagrant reef
#

Such a sensitive game, I can't play with any less than my monitor refresh rate (240 fps) otherwise it feels like garbage.

wheat plume
#

Any game feels garbage if it runs slower than your monitor refresh rate

unkempt lake
vagrant reef
#

CS especially so though. 60FPS in CS is a bad experience no matter as it polls the KB/Mouse input at the same tick rate which is like 300 ticks / fps.

so if you're locked 60 on a 60hz monitor, it still feels laggy

#

Improve game peformance? ❌
Release more skins ✅

#

sub tick is fine for now, bigger things to worry about in that game

how?

I heard it's better on plasma

Like the refresh rate or resolution changing

vagrant reef
#

Valve is a big company with priorities.

Having skin creators (which is mostly the community through the workshop) and having actual developers working at the same time, shouldn't be a tall ask.

unkempt lake
#

And yeah that makes the screen go black

#

For a sec

ashen spindle
#

They work at the same time obviously… but I’m saying it makes 0 sense bringing up skins when talking about game performance because that’s just completely unrelated

wheat plume

Vrr works fine if I don't need to change volume

Cause the volume osd makes the display turn black for a few seconds of I'm on a fullscreen game

Vrr only works on fullscreen apps apparently

But valve are prioritising releasing an update regarding to skins, than releasing one regarding gameplay issues. Otherwise, they would step back, postpone those updates and shift towards making the experience better.

ashen spindle
#

How is this so hard to get, them adding more skins or not changes literally nothing about other aspects because they are completely unrelated people

#

An update that adds 5000 skins delays vacnet changes by maybe an hour because someone has to press the build button once

vagrant reef
#

listen, valve funnels money and resources to the different departments.

The people making CS skins (who again, is mainly the community, players who enjoy the game) obviously aren't the same who write the game engine / vacnet code.

But if you put $500 and 1 person into map development, against putting 5 people and $1500 into gameplay development.

You're gonna have shitty maps compared to gameplay.

#

They often move between different projects within valve.

#

Some might work on alex and the transfer some of it to CS etc

ashen spindle
#

You just don’t understand how gamedev works because it’s not like you can throw infinite resources and that just works

vagrant reef
#

I'm not saying that

#

They just have priorities and right now it's not CS's issues.

ashen spindle
#

If you have one guy rewriting network code you can’t out another guy on it to make it faster they would just do the same work twice

#

You can put 500 artists on a skin each though

#

So there’s a very real limit to how much you can do by just throwing more resources at code

vagrant reef
#

But stopping bots and cheaters should be possible. As countless other games have managed to condense those issue.

ashen spindle
#

Yeah but it’s not like valve is limiting funds and it goes to skins instead of anti bot measures

#

So skins just don’t relate to any other aspect of the game

vagrant reef
#

It's an abstract example of the companies priorities. Not a literal one

ashen spindle
#

Yeah and one that’s just not showing how it works..

#

And the amount of people who still complain about skins being added when something is broken as if that’s related in every single game is massive

vagrant reef
#

And I'm not saying they don't, it's just recently like the past 8-12 months, there's been more and more. Which is why most serious players are relying on third party solutions

Guys, are tcc Magneto switches compatible with the wooting 60he +?

rain quiver

Does anyone know how interfaces work

#

I just got a new mic setup and it wont work

#

se v7 for the mic and arturia minifuse 1 for the interface

spare gull

What are yall using to hold your headphones? I have three pairs that I switch between and need a better solution than the single desk clamp hanger, and the putting the other two on my PC case on in the drawer

vagrant reef
#

I just use my monitor

#

But I only have 1 pair

rain quiver
#

I dont think its that simple, i did that but its not working

#

Then i watched a tutorial

#

Installed its software and all that, still not working

#

I dont hear my mic

#

Maybe its something with drivers? idk

#

Voicemod lets you have it

#

The interface software says yes its detecting a lil audio

#

But voicemod doesnt

#

I tried moving all the knobs, the noise level didnt change on the software

vagrant reef
#

Mic gain all the way up?

rain quiver
#

You mean the input device?

#

The input device is "input 1 (minifuse1)"

#

Oh thats gain ok bet

#

Wait wtf that fixed it

#

Thank you

#

I thought i tried moving all the knobs but nothing changed

#

Maybe i did that before installing the software i dont remember

#

No cap i cant even tell if it sounds better than my old usb $40 razer mini mic

#

Actually nvm it sounds so clear its weird

vagrant reef
#

I'll be better than just a usb

#

Might need to play around to get the settings just right

rain quiver
#

Nah im trippin it sounds 10x better and the detection is also way better

#

My old mic would always eat some words up for some reason

#

Defo worth the price difference i cant believe i been using that mic for 2 years

#

Also is this part really necessary or nah

I asked alot of people in some pc servers and audio servers they all said its great for the price

So i got it

I was gonna get an sm7b or whatever its called but they said its worse

#

Node t1 too

pale sigil
#

Second hand it's not

rain quiver

Nah i told them the price too

#

Like 120 for node t1 and 150 for sm7b

usd

#

They said the $100 se v7 is still better so i dunno

pale sigil
#

150 for sm7b?

#

That's cheap

rain quiver

Yeah

#

They said it needs hella extra equipment for it to sound as good as a se v7

That's kinda true

What?

rain quiver

What even is the point of an interface

#

Then knobs are useless except for gain

And the buttons

#

How i do that

#

Do you know what the adapter is called

#

How do i make sure

#

Ik my iems are 3.5mm

#

Hm maybe i need 6.35

#

Interface isnt all that useful ngl but then again its made for people who wanna make music

#

I dont think so

#

Is there a 2 in 1? i woulda bought it had i known

#

Maybe i should return it and get one thats also a dac

#

Idk lmao

#

Yes it works i already said that before

#

I plug my headphones in the monitor

#

I thought i could plug em into the interface but nah

#

I thought i could make use of it but ig not

#

How do we find out then

#

Yk what ill just buy the adapter anyways

#

its cheap

#

But i gotta find a real way to check what size i need

#

Nvm its 6.35 unless google is lying

#

Well shit ill find out in 3 days

#

2 for $6 so cheap

#

Is this the shit you were talking about

#

Also whats a gate, is it some shit i need to buy

#

Does rnnoise have a noise gate feature

#

Ok thanks

astral haven
#

wut, its super common, nearly on every interface or mixer

#

literally googling usb interface, out of 20 interfaces, 2 dont have a 6.25

#

most have both a stereo headphone 6.25 out and a dual 6.25 balanced out

#

4.4mm until super recently was japan exclusive, and now its japan + audiophoolery exclusive

#

and while i say that, the dacamp my headphones are currently plugged into has a 4.4 out lol

rain quiver

Is there anything i can buy to extend this for more reach

what are we looking at

I spent 30 minutes looking at ones on amazon

Theyre all trash

well how much reach do you need

rain quiver
#

The one i have rn is like 25 or 26 inches extended

rough osprey
#

elgato low profile da goat

digital cliff
#

and that is how much in human units

rain quiver
#

30 would be ok but i’d defo like some extra room

#

So 35+ inches i’d say

#

But it also needs a good clamp

rain quiver
#

Thats why i bought the psa1+

#

I was gonna do the regular psa1

rough osprey
rain quiver
#

Psa1 better for the same price

digital cliff
#

the fifine BM88 is cheap, low-profile and about 750-800mm from the point-of pivot to where the mic ends up sitting

rough osprey
#

cant really compare them

rain quiver
rough osprey
#

one is low profile and the other one isnt

rain quiver
#

Im talking in terms of quality

#

I wish there was a low profile psa1+

#

But idc anymore

rough osprey
#

would rank a full metal one higher then one with some fabric around it

#

ig depends on what kinda aesthetics you want too

rain quiver
digital cliff
#

about 30-31 I suppose with everything fully extended in one straight line but then you'd have no adjustment room left

rough osprey
#

get a yellowtec arm aga

digital cliff
#

to turn the mic anywhere or so

rain quiver
#

I think the psa1+ is 34-35 inches

#

Ima just stick with it it cant be bad

#

Unless theres better for the same price but i doubt it

rough osprey
#

43inch

You get it goofball

Wonder if the new models of framework 13 have the pogo pins for the keyboard and touchpad assembly ??
Cause rn you need to deal with fragile ribbon cables to attach the keyboard and touchpad
But the framework 12 has pogo pins and magnets to attach them instead

rain quiver
#

What is bro talking about

wheat plume
#

Framework laptops

#

You need to assemble parts of the laptop yourself when you unbox it if you picked the DIY edition

rain quiver
#

Damn this shit better have been cheaper that way

wheat plume
#

The diy is slightly cheaper yeah

#

You need to install the ram, SSD, ports, keyboard, touchpad and screen bezel
The rest is already done for you

rain quiver
#

Did you buy your wooting disassembled too

dull hollow
#

it’s directly under my main monitor lol

wheat plume
vagrant reef

Framework still has a laptop premium price though. Its repairability and upgrade ability is valuable on its own.

I hope the framework 12 is a decent price

#

It's such an adorable little laptop

vagrant reef
#

Wee little flippy guy

wheat plume
#

I love the colors too 💜

ashen spindle

Yeah they are like 30% or so more expensive than a regular laptop with the same parts with the idea you can save in the future by upgrading parts

rain quiver

Bruh your version is $200 cheaper thats not “slightly cheaper”

Thats kinda fire ngl

The colours are a nice touch, matte black and pink looks the best imo

why

You have ISO

I mean personally I think unmarked keycaps are stupid and would never get them xD

I would Never Order This willingly

This is how it Looks like rn

The line at the top im Not sure if they are right

Because the left overs doesent have marks

leaden kiln

your right shift looks incorrect
the rest looks ok from this angle at least

digital cliff
#

it's not hard lmao

#

you just look at the profiles with your eyeball and see that "oh this keycap is different from the one already on this row so it must be another row"

#

repeat that for each and soon enough you'll just have an eye/feel for what goes where and it takes like 5 minutes

ashen spindle
#

I dont look at my keyboard though

then I guess there'd be no harm of them being blank either

the only time when i look down at my keyboard when im adjusting its position xd

if someone else uses it, or if I need to confirm I used the right number in a password im looking at it to see the legend, but im not looking at it in the sense I care if it looks clean or fancy
