[steady sail]

Both 2080 ti’s

[pale sigil]

Apparently my case is 18 pounds

On its own lol

[lone dune]

Lol i remember the day the oring to prevent leaks in my waterloop busted and shit felt like 5 sinder blocks trying to remove off the table

[pale sigil]

No wonder it's a workout and half for me picking it up from the floor while in my wheelchair.

[vagrant pagoda]

2110 is like 18 kilo

[pale sigil]

The whole thing probably weighs like 10-12kg

I'm kinda impressed with myself 😅

[lone dune]

Lmaoo

[pale sigil]

It really is a bitch bending down and grabbing it from the floor while in a wheelchair though.

[steady sail]

My pc case is only 8.5kg but with fully built it close to 10-12 as well

[pale sigil]

It digs into my lap and hurts lol

Because I grab, put on my lap then lift again into the table to build it do stuff with.

[vagrant pagoda]

my main pc is a only 10kg for case

[pale sigil]

My server is much much much easier to pick up though

[lone dune]

I just lower my desk to the floor

[vagrant pagoda]

no top airflow i take it XD

[marsh pewter]

hey we’re case buddies!

[lone dune]

And then flip pc onto desk and then bring it up to 47.7inches to work on it

[pale sigil]

Pretty sure my heaviest components are the HDDs and cooler.

[marsh pewter]

you have a metal side panel tho

[pale sigil]

Never needed, it used to have an aio

[dull hollow]

we are all case buddies

[pale sigil]

It's a great case.

[lone dune]

Who here felt blessed when they learned cmos actually had a pin u can short

[marsh pewter]

indeed it is

[pale sigil]

However I got bored of looks quickly, I love my Lian Li because it's just a box XD

[marsh pewter]

yeah it doesn’t really fit my setup

[dull hollow]

id imagine this is what my would look life i got some white parts :v

[marsh pewter]

gonna get a black case for my next build

[pale sigil]

It used to be all synced but parts had to be replaced

[dull hollow]

front cpu fan is black xd

tho i had to take a second look to notice it

[pale sigil]

Ye, I put that in yesterday.

The original one died

But I also used to use a white aio

[lone dune]

Lol i dont care as much for mine it can look like a g37 that looks like it got it parts off different colored g37

I just put whatever together

[lone dune]

Not like i look at the pc while gaming

[pale sigil]

However, once again, I was reminded how unreliable AIOs are .

[dull hollow]

please ignore the 2 white fans ty

[lone dune]

Is that a noctua

[halcyon moss]

fuck watercooling
it almost never makes sense.
its just aircooling with more steps

[reef patrol]

Tis less loud air-cooling

[pale sigil]

Get good fans

[dull hollow]

no its thermalright

[pale sigil]

My fans are always on silent even in gaming XD

I've had 2 coolers die on me, 1 potentially but swapped before confirmed.

[lone dune]

Watercooling does make sense though. I have always gotten better results in OC using watercooling and I used to be a noctua boy

[pale sigil]

Custom loops have their place

[ashen spindle]

yea but OC barely makes sense these days

[vagrant pagoda]

no thats passive

[dull hollow]

i dont oc so watercooling is completely dead to me

[pale sigil]

But for a 5600x nah XD

[ashen spindle]

I do have an aio 4090 though and its nice for noise

but on like a 9800x3d? no real need for it

[vagrant pagoda]

its all looks these days

modern cheap aircoolers are more than enough

[steady sail]

True i need to get rid of my AIO as well

[lone dune]

And think about it saves money. Aio u cant really change coolant

[dull hollow]

insert intel cpu

[pale sigil]

Playing oblivion with fans on 5%

And gpu fan is on like 10%

[dull hollow]

the only brand that does that ik of is bequiet

[vagrant pagoda]

how well is it running?

[pale sigil]

In a 23c room though

[vagrant pagoda]

you can 100% do it

[pale sigil]

Shit and I can't enable upscaling

[vagrant pagoda]

just not easy

[pale sigil]

Because it's broken on the game pass version

[vagrant pagoda]

sounds like they got it perfect

[reef patrol]

Restart. It's fixed now

[lone dune]

True u can but voids warranty

[reef patrol]

They patched the patch.

[vagrant pagoda]

my 2006 machine, aka c2q+8800gtx sli, runs og obivion like shit

[ashen spindle]

if it needs a refill during warranty you make use of warranty, if its after warranty who cares

[pale sigil]

That explains a lot

[vagrant pagoda]

hell even my 2008 machine it barely gets 60fps at qxvga

[pale sigil]

My next build will just be a small box

[dull hollow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Jt1frNf3s

whyd it send like that

[pale sigil]

Idc anymore, if I could use the Lian Li A3

But it'll be a waste of money moving to one with my current build and my next build will probably have a GPU that can't fit

[sudden imp]

I wish bequiet did their own interconnecting fans

[plush stirrup]

Fancy, but when I built my PC I had a 3080 12GB and 13700k, so it was already overkill 😄 current GPU recommends 1000W PSU though

[unkempt lake]

I had an AX860i and it worked fine with it but I had to upgrade the psu on nico's pc for the 2080 and i got that hx1500i on a massive discount because it didn't include the 12vhpwr cable (same psu that's still compliant, just didn't have the cable)

[plush stirrup]

Server specs? 👀

[vagrant pagoda]

they are nice units though

the ax1600 good too

[plush stirrup]

fair enough, mine was about 140eur or so, can't complain with 10y warranty on it 👀

[unkempt lake]

Oh yeah the ax860 is still going strong and the hx1500i i got it for like... 275cad

Lemme check

How much did i pay for that thing again

[vagrant pagoda]

i have a 2200w seasonic here

but havent installed it yet

[unkempt lake]

299.99 canadian

[plush stirrup]

they're currently priced at 435cad where I live, incl taxes

[vagrant pagoda]

the 2200 was like 600 usd with shipping

[unkempt lake]

Sales tax here is 14.975%

Shippng was free

Anyhow was a steal for an hx1500i

[vagrant pagoda]

i had to get it second hand and have it shipped

[unkempt lake]

?

[lone dune]

She is alive

[vagrant pagoda]

the 2200w is 220v+ unit

[unkempt lake]

Also i know an hx1500i is overkill for a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx but for the price i couldn't resist lol

[vagrant pagoda]

so its eu only

its best to operate a psu in its 50% range

70% maxium

[plush stirrup]

21% taxes here 😢 + some recycling tax which is a few cents + on anything that has storage capabilities you pay copyright taxes (it is legal to copy bought movies onto HDD's and such)

[unkempt lake]

@vagrant pagoda what do you run that needs it that won't pop your us breaker

[vagrant pagoda]

i want it to stay cool and fanlass

its fanless up to 1kw

[unkempt lake]

Around what my 1500w psu operates at

I pulled more power back when i had my overclocked 9700k lol

[plush stirrup]

Can't wait for the 400V 3 phase PSU's 🥲

[vagrant pagoda]

also its fine in the us

its only a 10a unit

[unkempt lake]

Fan never kicks in on my 1500

Its nice

[vagrant pagoda]

ibm makes them

[unkempt lake]

And the ax860 it also doesn't kick in with the 9700k + 2080

Silence gang

[wheat plume]

https://ie.nothing.tech/pages/cmf-phone-2-pro#spec

Gimme 💜

I love the back plate you can install to give it magsafe ability

[umbral heron]

Ooooh, I just remembered that I printed yellow bezel for my cmf watch pro 2 the other day

[plush stirrup]

Does one even notice that with current hardware needing so much cooling?

[wheat plume]

Ooooo HEK show !!!

Also
How accurate is the data it collects? Like heart rate and sleep etc etc

[halcyon moss]

its called a case

[wheat plume]

No
This replaced the back panel
So it doesn't add thickness to the phone

This is better than a case

[halcyon moss]

the case on my s25u is fine with magsafe

[umbral heron]

[wheat plume]

oo very cool

is that watch waterproof?

can it be worn in the shower and rain andwhen washing dishes??

[umbral heron]

[lone dune]

Lol its not waterproof but water resistant

It can still be damaged in water

[wheat plume]

technically the watch I have is not waterproof either but its still going after 2 years of being subjectedto showers and dishes and rain

and it looks brand new cause the water rinses all the dirt off!

[umbral heron]

I swam with it several times, it's just fine, all I had to do is to remove the bezel to wipe out water form underneath, but overall it's great

[wheat plume]

I wanna get the phone 😍 but id have to switch back to physical SIM cause this phone doesnt seem to have eSIM support ;-;

[umbral heron]

For it to be waterproof it'd have to be encased in plastic or glass
There is no such thing as rating for tech being waterproof, because pretty much all consumer electronics will give up under pressure of 100m or so

[vagrant pagoda]

very few items are waterproof

[lyric hatch]

Still IP69 would be a safer bet for bringing your device into the shower with you

[plush stirrup]

esim is fancy 😛 though the only time one actually notices it is if your physical sim breaks for some reason, which my mom's somehow did, had to swap her to an esim from a physical sim (same phone, just the physical one stopped working)

[halcyon moss]

i just installed a ip65 light in my shower

[lone dune]

Damn

[halcyon moss]

well.. above

[vagrant pagoda]

x8 and x9 are seperate ratings

x9 isnt rated for immersion

so a 69 can take a shower, but not a bath

[lyric hatch]

Yeah it's rated for high pressure jets and steam

Like in a shower

[vagrant pagoda]

shower isnt high pressure

[lone dune]

Makes me miss having a apple and galaxy watch

[vagrant pagoda]

x9 is 100bar

[lone dune]

Kindof cool knowing ur heart rate on ur wrist lol

[lyric hatch]

It is not but if it takes high pressure jets to the face without issue I'm sure a shower will be ok

[halcyon moss]

i got it on my finger now

[vagrant pagoda]

and x9 is steam jets, not just steam in the room

x8 would be fine in a steam room

x9 is for cleaning

[plush stirrup]

I have those aswell, I think, not that it really matters since it's above, no watter reaches it 😛 they're just GU10 fitting and the lights in it have survived for 3years so far so I guess it's good enough 🤣

[lone dune]

Me imagining my 6'7 self getting jet propelled water from the shower when my head is right there

[vagrant pagoda]

so unless you want to pressure wash your phone, you dont need x9

[halcyon moss]

this is an integrated light.
just had an amazing annoying and long fight fitting 2 wires in

[wheat plume]

CMF are cooking FR FR

(god I hate this slang)

[vagrant pagoda]

they be bussin

[wheat plume]

Also, if Dirac Opteo on the CMF Buds is meant to sound amazing....why cant you enable Dirac Opteo EQ Preset WHILE you have LDAC enabled?!

Surely LDAC would help make it sound better????but it can only be used on AAC

[halcyon moss]

ldac doesnt matter

if you hear it.. you are a miracle.

sbc-x, aac, ldac it basically all sounds the same

[plush stirrup]

for me they're hue lights, integrated reminds me of our outdoor lights, they broke every year/few years, now there's a eufy for 2 - 3 years and it's still working somehow, it outlasted all of the other integrated outdoor lights.

[halcyon moss]

hue bulbs have been amazing for me.

[wheat plume]

🤔
Nah...I hear the difference between AAC and LDAC @ 660kbps

but the phone doesnt enable 660 automatically, I need to change it in Dev Options every time I pair the buds

That being said...I dont hear any difference when streaming YT Music..but I do with my local files

[halcyon moss]

thats like way more than your music

[plush stirrup]

here aswell 🙂 they're expensive, but worth it

[bright briar]

anyone here use linux?

[halcyon moss]

....no?

[wheat plume]

really?

[wheat plume]

yes

[bright briar]

@ashen spindle @trim crane sorry for the ping but do you guys use linux?

[ashen spindle]

no I dont want to torture myself

[halcyon moss]

ah right.. flac.

[wheat plume]

🤔

you forgot FLAC exists?

[halcyon moss]

no. most ppl dont use that though

[wheat plume]

I download the songs I like, usually bandcamp cause they are high quality there

[wheat plume]

why you ask?

[unkempt lake]

unblock me and maybe i'll help you smh

[trim crane]

I want to switch to it

[wheat plume]

what hardware you got?

[ashen spindle]

yeah it would be nice to switch to it eventually but at the time its too much work to use it for gaming

[wheat plume]

Steam Deck says otherwise

[ashen spindle]

not really

[plush stirrup]

Depends on which games, VR can be annoying, but do-able, I'd be on linux if my current VR setup wasn't unstable already on windows 🥲

[wheat plume]

VR...fair yeah

[ashen spindle]

vr, hdr, vrr, anti cheat, driver issues etc. etc.

[wheat plume]

HDR works on Plasma and GNOME Desktop
driver issues are only a thing on Nvidia if you use sometihng that is not Mint, Ubuntu or PopOS or Fedora
VRR works on Plasma and GNOME Desktop

anti-cheat is an issue still yes

[ashen spindle]

see so its already a "some parts work on some parts"

already cba dealing with it

[wheat plume]

90% of users either use Plasma or GNOME Desktops....

and most use Mint, Ubuntu or Pop

any distro that comes with a Driver Manager is good for Nvidia driver management cause they make sure to sync kernel and driver updates

Except Manjaro.... Their update policy is pure jank and I hate it

[plush stirrup]

In my case I only really play cs2 and vr, one of them is supported on linux, the other, is far from being supported (to not even start about the extra steamvr plugins that might not be supported), would love to be back on linux, but continiously switching between OS'es hmm not yet 😄

[wheat plume]

since when did DDG have sponsored links at the top????

[bright briar]

i unblock you ages ago

[bright briar]

same i seen there's a lot of "distros"

[bright briar]

thinking of having both

[bright briar]

3080 and 5800x

[leaden kiln]

linux was nice for a while 👴 but a bit much to maintain with my distro choice and became more annoying as my usecase changed, so back to windows 11 after a year and some change

[bright briar]

i heard mint is good for beginners

[marsh pewter]

me

[bright briar]

how you like it

[marsh pewter]

mint is dogshit

use fedora

[marsh pewter]

is good 👍

[wheat plume]

He has Nvidia...Fedora is sketch on Nvidia ;-;

[marsh pewter]

this is entirely my own bias btw- mint is fine, but the reason its good for beginners is because its extremely similar to windows and as such isnt a great option if you want something different

[wheat plume]

Mint is good if you have Nvidia, they have a dedicated hardware driver manager app

and the updates are safely synced to the drivers too

[wheat plume]

Mint + GNOME then? :P

[marsh pewter]

great, dogshit DE to a slightly less dogshit DE

[wheat plume]

I agree...using something laid out like Windows will make you expect shit to be used the same way as Windows and any slight difference in methodology will piss you off too much

[marsh pewter]

plasma is where its at

[wheat plume]

Plasma is great if youdont game

Games always feel stuttery for me on Plasma despite having good FPS

GNOME is silky smooth for games

[marsh pewter]

seems like a you problem

[marsh pewter]

fedora is about as good as any other distro with nvidia

mint is just a bit easier afaik

[wheat plume]

Fedora is easier than Mint, imo

well, Mint is easier to install Nvidia drivers on

[marsh pewter]

ye thats what I meant

[wheat plume]

you need to manually figure out how to enable RPM Fusion Non-Free repos on Fedora to get the drivers

If you have Nvidia....Use Mint
Everyone else....Use Fedora

easy as that!

[ashen spindle]

then why did you earlier reply to me that hdr, vrr etc. work great on plasma when its not great for gaming... thats the whole issue I have with linux lmao

[marsh pewter]

nvidia isnt that bad on fedora so long as you're open to reading a guide

like I said, its about as hard as any other distro- which is to say its really not that hard

[fathom venture]

Yeah nah it’s quite ass I can’t even find a 360hz oled for that price point anymore TvT I want to die

[marsh pewter]

Lana likes to sum up issues she specifically has to the entire experience of a certain thing

[fathom venture]

No they do it because it’s sponsored or else oled is just miles clear except the motion clarity factor since zowie has dyac

[wheat plume]

Use gnome for gaming

HDR and VRR works
And it's smooth

[marsh pewter]

plasma is completely fine for gaming, not sure where her issues are coming from

[wheat plume]

Idk either but it just feels stuttery

I get like 300fps in Minecraft
Still feels a little stuttery

This stutter has happened on my desktop
And my steam deck
So Nvidia and amd had this issue for me

[lone dune]

I use mostly Kalih linux and BlackArch Linux

[wheat plume]

Kali uses gnome
I think?

Idk wtf blackarch is though

[marsh pewter]

arch for penetration testing I guess?

its just arch with the blackarch tools preinstalled

[lone dune]

BlackArch OS is penetration testing os lol

[wheat plume]

Oh right

[lone dune]

Hence why my pc is beefy need alot of VMs running

[wheat plume]

Anytime I hear VM and Linux I can't help think of QubesOS xd

[lone dune]

Because of xen hypervisor vm lol

[analog sinew]

yes

now make potayto

show moumou airfryer

[vagrant pagoda]

what dose an airfryer do that my convection dosent?

[balmy vector]

it airs

[vagrant pagoda]

thats what convection is

[balmy vector]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/748070182085197857/1133853932293193839/breadbug.gif

[ashen spindle]

its much more efficent because its on a smaller scale

[wheat plume]

Nothing!!

[ashen spindle]

and takes a lot less space

[unkempt lake]

its smaller

[vagrant pagoda]

its the same size?

[unkempt lake]

how small is your oven

[wheat plume]

Probably the air fryer is smaller

[vagrant pagoda]

its a small microwave size

lol

[unkempt lake]

Wtf kinda poopy oven

Do you have

[vagrant pagoda]

its a convection oven

[unkempt lake]

Dont you have a stove/proper oven

[vagrant pagoda]

my actual oven/range has convection too

[ashen spindle]

soo. an air fyer toaster oven?

[vagrant pagoda]

but its too big

[vagrant pagoda]

also my convection also microwaves

[unkempt lake]

Nice thing about an air fryer is it warms up super fast, because its small air tends to circulate more efficiently and it's good for small batches of stuff example: breakfast potatoes

[vagrant pagoda]

so dose a convection oven?

[unkempt lake]

Its gonna be quicker than if i set my oven to convection

[vagrant pagoda]

might use less power

[ashen spindle]

the smaller size means you dont need preheating and for portions its usually better than a full size oven, if you need a full size roast you obviously dont put that into an air fryer

[vagrant pagoda]

but it isnt faster

[unkempt lake]

It is faster

[vagrant pagoda]

how long do potatoes take?

convection takes like 8-9 min to do potato slices

[unkempt lake]

Preheat time

There's almost no preheat with an air fryer

[vagrant pagoda]

oi dont preheat

i put them in the basket

and turn it on

[unkempt lake]

A basket?

Ok are you putting this in your tiny convection oven

[ashen spindle]

show picture of your oven

[unkempt lake]

Because that's basically just a square air fryer

[vagrant pagoda]

you mean you have a round convection oven

[ashen spindle]

show a picture of your oven

or similar model

[unkempt lake]

https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/NE59R6631SS/AC/

my oven is a real oven so yes air fryer is faster

[vagrant pagoda]

you can have both

[unkempt lake]

Ion seems to use some wierd ass square air fryer

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

[ashen spindle]

what is so hard to just show a pic of what the thing is you call an oven so we know what we're talking about

[prisma aspen]

Which Mouse (around 40g+-) has the GOAT Coating? Im impressed by the Sora x Vaxee Coating but unfortunate im to comfortable with 40g

[vagrant pagoda]

im not at home

idk what the model is

[ashen spindle]

google something thats similar enouhg

[vagrant pagoda]

its a microwave that has convection

you put a rack inside and a basket

[ashen spindle]

so like the thing on the left?

[vagrant pagoda]

and bam

door opens like a mircowave

feel like a dedicated air fryer is worse as it dosent also microwave

[ashen spindle]

some people already have a microwave

[vagrant pagoda]

just get a combo unit then

you can do combo cook

[ashen spindle]

why replace what works when I can get a cheaper one

[bright briar]

@marsh pewter @wheat plume are those distro free or i gotta pay?

[ashen spindle]

also most combo units are just not doing a job as good as seperate convection oven + microwave

[marsh pewter]

paid... linux? of course they're free lol.

[bright briar]

nice

[vagrant pagoda]

more shit to store

and you can do combo cook

[ashen spindle]

yes its pros and cons

[vagrant pagoda]

or have it auto broil/crisp

[fickle ore]

What, microwave is new ?

[vagrant pagoda]

?

lmao

[fickle ore]

lol

what century is this

[vagrant pagoda]

they have the exact same model as mine, but they replaced the combo cook label with air fry XD

[halcyon moss]

https://youtu.be/6h9JhW-m35o?si=e3PkxxjZBE2NdPvE

[rough osprey]

Airfryer peak

[vagrant pagoda]

but idk how it dose good potatos without a broil

the fries mode kicks off the fan at the end

and grills them to be extra crispy

with wedgs or whole potatos it microwaves at the start with the convection running, then dose the grill at the end too

[wheat plume]

You can donate to them if you like them enough
Or buy the Premium version of ZorinOS xd
But otherwise, they are free

[bright briar]

sick

[deep knoll]

hi can someone help me my keyboard having issue just unboxed it

[marsh glade]

Best to make a post in #1019755933959733258

[deep knoll]

okay thanks

dannng that sucks brand new keyboard having issue and gotta wait up to 5 days for a response probably saying have you tried all these steps.. ofcourse...

[ashen spindle]

it'll be faster but now its midnight so most people arent around

[deep knoll]

ohhh not us company or locafted

[ashen spindle]

dutch company yeah and most people active on discord are eu timezone too

[deep knoll]

I see thank you! Hope they can respond with two days cause I’m going on a two week vacation not going to be sending keyboard back if it’s broken in that two week 😂

[plush stirrup]

I think they give 30days if it's broken, no? so you got a bit of time left 🙂

[marsh pewter]

its a 4 year warranty

you're thinking of the return period

[plush stirrup]

well yeah, but in case they change their mind and return it (free because defective) it's ~30days, also they're talking about full size, which is only 2years 😄

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b50WhWXVkSs

[somber coral]

one day until shes home (i bought to return if its too small cuz ez no cost returns)

i wont even be here for that weekend but uh 4 days until shes home

[plush stirrup]

Fancy, though updating firmware is always risky 😛

[dull hollow]

no solid slides

[somber coral]

whcih is why ill probably buy it off wlmouse website, this is basically a trial run

we love fraud (for obvious reasons this is ajoke its not actually fraud)

real real real

@bright briar tried to make me commit fraud though ban him

[marsh pewter]

grrrrr

I really want a beast x

but I can only find the beast x max black and green from ausmodshop and with shipping it’s nearly 200 dollars

also my current mouse is perfectly capable and fine

I have 2 cents

308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Flynn White

what

thats his last name bro

bro did not watch breaking bad

I dunno

[marsh pewter]

best I can do is 5 cents if you throw in an antique spoon set

no deal

[bright briar]

wth

no i didnt

sigh my days at wooting is over

[somber coral]

if we lose im quitting

[marsh pewter]

you'll be back

[covert ravine]

Jett with an OP, you are evil

[somber coral]

i gave them trauma

[somber coral]

im tryna istal samsung magician

idk firmware?

also isent like better for your drives

[umbral heron]

Nah, is useless

[somber coral]

didnt the 990 and 980 pro drives have a problem of dying fast if you didnt update the firmware

how does one update the firmware then

[umbral heron]

Install, update firmware, uninstall, simple as
Although Windows Update should handle fw updates too

[umbral heron]

Not to worry, Windows' users can't handle such elegant and efficient tools
They need companion app from every manufacturer

[fair gull]

windows update sadly does not update harddrive firmware (at least for me)

i have samsung magician installed just not autostart

[umbral heron]

Ah, bummer
But afaik it could do firmware updates of some kind

[fair gull]

basically if it has an exe and can go through WHQL it can also be done via windows updates

[halcyon moss]

imagine the outrage if it suddenly does

[fair gull]

i mean thats what people already said about OEM bios like HP/Dell/Fujitsu and such

and yet windows update now just does that

[old marlin]

You often did flash those with an exe tho

And also i think they use fancier onboard chips to flash during reboot now i think

[fair gull]

yes but its still a weird choice as a bios update can still be messed up if the user doesnt expect it happening.

not to mention windows really likes to not shutdown when you say update and shutdown but instead reboots

[analog sinew]

yeah i hate that

my pc is so quiet that i had it run the entire night and didnt notice lol

[old marlin]

yea

I think it is related to it rebooting but then expecting a login?

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/intel-foundry-roadmap-update-new-18a-pt-variant-that-enables-3d-die-stacking-14a-process-node-enablement

[marsh glade]

Is the 3d stacking on 3 sides of the transistor or is the innovation that has them around all 4 sides?

[ashen spindle]

heres the differences

[marsh glade]

Ah okay

This I can continue to safely ignore then 😛

[ashen spindle]

but 18a also does have stacked transistors 😛

[wheat plume]

At least they are pleasingly symmetrical, even if they are still thicker than the average Tate fan

[pale sigil]

Like, the fact it has the old modem is enough of a reason to avoid it.

[wheat plume]

i doubt my data speed comes even close to maxing out the modem it has

my speed barely manages 15MB/s on a good day

🤔 wonder how thats gonna work out for yall.......

[nimble arch]

I suppose the upload is good enough but I do wish carriers would provide better speeds on top packages here in the UK.

No 5G standalone in my area either, yet anyway. The rollout is cities first.

[halcyon moss]

have you tried agent assisted coding?
its pretty neat

[nimble arch]

There's still a difference between having a person augment their work with AI and replacing the human entirely

[wheat plume]

assisted, yes..sure
this is suggesting to not hire people and use AI for free instead

[halcyon moss]

yeah thats called vibe coding :p

[wheat plume]

LOL

[ashen spindle]

well the thought would be person + ai does the work of 2 people

[halcyon moss]

and.. well.. mixed results personally.
sometimes it works great though

no, honestly, try it some time. (i am currently working for a agent ai coding tool)

[leaden kiln]

blazing 5g speeds 🔥

[nimble arch]

He's cooked

[reef patrol]

Come to Scandinavia. Not only is high speed internet affordable but also readily available.

[umbral heron]

Velcom to Poland

[nimble arch]

Show off

I might be able to get 1600/120 soon

[leaden kiln]

but I'm already in scandinavia 😭

[nimble arch]

Once Openreach actually upgrade my area to FTTP

[umbral heron]

I'm upgrading to 8000/2500 later this year

[reef patrol]

[umbral heron]

That is of course if Netia doesn't start serving 10G/3G this year of course

[frozen ingot]

but y tho

[nimble arch]

Virgin Media are due to upgrade HFC to FTTP that’ll be capable of 8000/8000. They only offer 2000/2000 in existing FTTP areas though.

[wheat plume]

Wonder if the CMF Phone 2 Pro will suffer this issue

The auth prompt doesn't account for how low down the scanner is

[frozen ingot]

100/100 is like enough unless you're cosplaying as amazon web services

[ashen spindle]

yeah its "enough" but its also enough to only eat bread with somethin on top for meals, but I kinda want more

[frozen ingot]

ok make it 1000 then

[ashen spindle]

but I kinda want more

[umbral heron]

Why not
Cost/mo will be essentially the same, hardware will have to be new of course, but it won't be that much too

[nimble arch]

I just want to download and upload as fast as services allow for. 1000/1000 would be enough as one person.

[umbral heron]

I have most services in LAN, so 10G upgrade will be nice

[nimble arch]

I’d prefer more upload at this point though but major UK ISPs hate offering it

I don’t live in an area covered by an “alt net” that actually offers symmetrical FTTP

[balmy vector]

Wish i had 500/500 minimum

Only be having 500/10

[nimble arch]

Who comes up with these ratios

I thought my 1150/100 was bad

[balmy vector]

Merican

[wheat plume]

NothingOS looks super clean 😍

Im glad it uses the stock media player widget on the notification panel, cause it looks great and its standarised for all apps now

[halcyon moss]

Looks very large and space wasting

[leaden kiln]

a few more quick settings fitting on the expanded panel than on stock android at least

[wheat plume]

stock android has 8 tiles on the expanded panel

so this beats it by 2 at the default layout..you can resize the tiles if you want

there are 3 sizes to pick AFAIK

so in theory, it can show more tiles than this default layout

reduce the bluetooth to a small circle
reduce the wifi and data tiles to a small circles...easily fit another 8 tiles there in the top half

[lyric hatch]

I don't even use that menu at all now got the swipe down quick menu for this big ass phone

[somber coral]

got my beast x mini pro

pro: its really light and has a cat dongle
cons: its a fingertip mouse for me lmao

[umbral heron]

For PBO? Nope, delidding is useless
But OC on a custom loop - yeah, delidding helps
But you'd rather go for 9800X3D and not 9950X3D, you'd hit higher clocks and better game performance
For 9900/9950 it's quite unnecessary because core count matters here, not frequency
Besides core count alone will make it clock lower - more cores, higher temp

[pale sigil]

Probably an unnecessary purchase too lol

[fair gull]

ipod

if thats not in the budget given they are all discontinued well only cheap smartphones are left really imo

id personally order is FiiO > iPod > any smartphone

in terms of usability for just dedicated audio listening

[umbral heron]

Cheap Android smartphone + Fiio USB DAC
ECHO MINI SNOWSKY also is cheap and cute

[nimble arch]

Surely there’s iPods all over the place in used hardware stores?

They were insanely popular

[fair gull]

ye but if they dont want used or want good used they might need to pay quite a bit

Oh pish posh.

The big models - The ones you'd actually want to, are generally easy to get into and swap batteries.

Ignore common sense and context and be ridiculed for doing so.

[marsh pewter]

smart watches are also a shockingly good option for a tiny, portable music player

as long as you’re fine with bluetooth audio

[reef patrol]

Go nano yourself.

iPods

Being overly pedantic like you are now, ignoring obvious context and common sense will get you nowhere.

You'd obviously do minimal google searching for whatever model you'll stumble upon and go from there.

Sure, why the hell not, what is the budget - about 5kzł = 1200€

[bold coyote]

damn how old is the kid\

thats a beefy present

[umbral heron]

Okay, I can make a decent PC out of this, some 9600X or so, some 7xxx Radeon or 4060/70, will be okay
They give me the list what he wanted in his PC based on his friends opinion and YT
"5080/5090, 285k, RGB AIO, 64G RAM, 4TB SSD"

[umbral heron]

First communion would be 9/10

[crimson wigeon]

Nice

Also what the fuck sorta friends/yt videos would recommend arrow lake

[fair gull]

and thats when you back out and just say ah sorry. i thought you asked me cause i do know. guess i dont so you go with someone who does that can also fix all your computer issues if there are any

and then ignore them if they need tech support

if they ask you to do it and then say you dont know stuff its time to dodge the massive red flag infront of you

[umbral heron]

They already don't come to me with computer stuff, because... I had the audacity to ask them to pay for the parts they needed

[fair gull]

then id have never actually accepted the request tbh

[umbral heron]

Honestly it was a bit out of curiosity

[fair gull]

inb4 they dont wanna pay for the pc either

cause its made out of parts that are needed

[umbral heron]

Golden rule for repairs of any kind for family - I don't order parts
I tell them which parts to order, where from, they have to be exactly as I tell them, can be shipped from somewhere if it was cheaper there
But if something doesn't match then nope - have fun with that

and then later when I moved to the south of the Netherlands, I saw that there were special celebration cards like 'congrats with your communion' on it which dont see AT ALL in the north. so that was a fun cultural difference in the same country

NO FEES on web transactions. Game over for the Apple Tax.

Apple’s 15-30% junk fees are now just as dead here in the United States of America as they are in Europe under the Digital Markets Act. Unlawful here, unlawful there.

4 years 4 months 17 days.

ok, I'm confused
how is an app store supposed to make money if it cannot take a slice of the action?

what incentive is there to list third party apps if they get fuck all from it beyond customer retention?

[wheat plume]

How much does the CPU matter on how much apps a phone can keep open at once??

Like can a phone with 8gb ram but a worse CPU keep more apps active without refreshing them compared to a phone with 6gb ram but a much better CPU?

[covert ravine]

Pretty sure the issue is Apple wants about 1/3 of the purchase

[crisp granite]

industry standard

[covert ravine]

Funny

[crisp granite]

that's what Steam takes

[covert ravine]

Not standard on mobile app stores

[scarlet blaze]

Anyone know ?

[ashen spindle]

they added charges to purchases that are not about the app but in app, where apple has 0% influence on anything, it costs them nothing to allow it

[crisp granite]

google app store doesn't take a slice of the action?
that makes no sense

[wheat plume]

The original case was that Apple were pissed off that Epic had an option to use their own payment processing
Which was cheaper for customers because Epic included the extra cut that apple took if you used the Apple store to pay instead

So people used Epics own system instead of Apple's in the game

[ashen spindle]

the complaint was never that apple is not allowed to take a cut if they offer service like checking the apps if they work, are a virus etc.

the complaint was there is no way to not pay apple, even if apple where to have 0$ cost in a transaction

they were taking more than the processing fee while doing nothing

[covert ravine]

Stop altering my words. I insinuated they don't take 30%

[crisp granite]

so it was apple doing a stupid

they could have left things lie, especially since it looks kinda asinine

[ashen spindle]

they wanted to keep the revenue stream

[crisp granite]

which I get, but that wasn't exactly a defensible way to do so

[nimble arch]

It would be funny if Valve were quietly cooking a Steam mobile store in preparation for this.

[crisp granite]

it looks like overreach

[unkempt lake]

charging a fee on a webtransaction outside the app is stupid

[ashen spindle]

Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court’s Injunction. It did so with the express
intent to create new anticompetitive barriers which would, by design and in effect, maintain a
valued revenue stream; a revenue stream previously found to be anticompetitive. That it thought
this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. As always, the coverup made it worse. For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple.

thanks tim epic for being the good guy vs tim apple

What does dc power v5 (optional upgrade) mean? it says that on my dac/amp manual

And what is this middle piece that came with my iems ive been using them for over a year now but idk what theyre for

Does that mean i should use it or not

I have xbass on maybe they compliment eachother

It is usb powered but theres another option that says dc power v5 but i dont have a cable for it

Do you know what the cable is called? it says using a dc power v5 is basically an upgrade

Is that expensive

Dont they work on all amps

Its ifi zen air

Its v5

So shouldnt all v5s work

Oh hell nah im not paying 100 for that

Thats how much the dac was

Why is it so exensive

expensive

I had a hissing noise that is now gone with this dac

But other than that i cant tell a difference in audio

So i dunno if im just deaf, or if this dac is just too bad to notice a difference, or if my iems are too bad to notice a difference or if its not supposed to make a noticeable difference at all

[marsh pewter]

tell that to the redditors who say the apple adapter being neutral is a bad thing

[rain quiver]

You think i know what that means

Bruh what

Wtf does no difference good mean

[marsh pewter]

are you stupid?

the audio staying mostly the same with a DAC is a good thing

neutral good

variance bad

[rain quiver]

Calm down?

[marsh pewter]

I am calm

you're right tho that was a little mean

[rain quiver]

"No difference good" doesnt mean anything

Because its not english

This is tho

[marsh pewter]

its the same sentence with one more word 😭

[rain quiver]

Yeah 1 word is enough for something to not make sense

Its just basic english bud
